only monument of the lost ship. The depth of the water wheir3 she sunk was about 35 feet. , So far then as the destruction of the vessel is concerned, the experiment was completely successful. The object of Capt. Warner was to show that, if chased by another ship, he had it in his power at any time he chose to annihilate his enemy, suddenly, at once, and without any warning. But the question was asked, and will be asked on every hand, " Hew was it done ?" I very natural question, but not alto ether a very just one, for if Capt. Warner disclose his secret he will go profitless. But still the question to a certain ex tent might be answered. Of course the nature of the compo sition is not expected to be retesaled without a competent reward ; but is it necessary that no one should see the ex ternal form of this "infernal machine," nor the mode of put ting it into operation ? Where there is much mystery there is generally a proportionate degree of mistrust ; and this feel ing has already operated to the prejudice of Capt. Warner. The answer, however, which he gives to all such questions is, "That is part of my secret, and therefore I cannot tell you anything at ail about it." No doubt he has confided his secret to some of those friends who so zealously encourage and assist him ;if so, that is a fact in his favour. But after the surprise produced by his experiment of Saturday last has subsided there will be many suspicions and conjectures afloat. Even on the same day and on the spot they were pretty rife. Some persons wished to go on board the John o'Graunt previous to her destruction to inspect her, in order to satisfy themselves and others that there was no magazine concealed in her. They were not permitted ; the answer was, that if one were permitted ten would desire the same favour ; and if ten, a thousand ; that would be most inconvenient. Again, it was said, " Were you to go, you might come away as wise as you went ; far, if any agent of destruction were hidden in the ship, it might be under the ballast, or in fifty places, of which you and a hundred other persons would never dream." Bnt the experiment itself is esteemed by the Captain's friends as the best answer, for say they, the agent of destruction was palpably applied externally ; had there been a magazine on board or within her, the effects would have been very different, and her deck would have been blown up, which was not the case ; her deck did not burst until she was sinking, and then in the usual manner when ships are suddenly submerged. Some persona conjectured that the instrument of destruc tion was conveyed from the steamer to the ship by means of a rope. We used a strong telescope, but saw no. rope but the tow•line, which when let go hung loosely over her lar board bow. Others thought that the agent being attached to aline was suffered to float with the tide against the ship, and that then the line being pulled let off a trigger and pro duced the explosion. More scientific individuals imagine an electrical battery to have been used ; others, an air-gun ; others, that a substance is put to float without any guide on the water ; others, that a submarine shell is sent in the direction of the ship's bottom. But though every body was watching, and watching narrowly, with all the aid that optical instruments could afford them, the mode of operation is, we believe, still as profound a secret to the world as before this public experiment. We believe Captain Caffm was in one of the revenue cutters, yet he was unsatisfied. Captain Warner was asked to permit a few gentlemen to bewith him on board the steam-boat ; but, for the reason before stated, he declined. Even the crew of the steamer were all sent below before he began to operate, and kept there until the explosion took place. It is useless, therefore, to attempt to tell what we do not know. But one thing is clear—Captain Warner is in pos session of a marvellous engine of destruction ; and though it may be regarded by some persons as a horrible invention, if it become known it may be taken as a harbinger of uni versal peace. A war carried on with such agency would be indeed a war of extermination—a war of extermination to both parties, and therefore useless. Of necessity, then, !nth would appeal to reason and not to violence. Captain Warner received the congratulations, personally, on Saturday e vening of Lord Brougham, and the other no blemen and officers who remained in Brighton ; and Mr. soines,•who says he fully expected that Captain Warner would destroy his ship when he gave it to him, has ex pressed his willingness to give him another for the further proof of the Captain's powers, if the Government are not now i a:isfied, or will not provide one to satisfy themselves. SUMMER ASSIZES. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, July 19. CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) THE BRADFORD MURDER CASE.—His Lordship took his seat at nine o'clock this morning, when the five per sons charged with the murder of Benjamin Gott, at Bradf , nd, were again placed at the bar. The Learned Judge commenced summing up, by expressing his regret that he le:t it necessary to have the jury locked up for the night, but he was satisfied that it would be much more satisfactory to them to have the evidence reca litulated.this morning,accompanied by such observations as he should think proper to make to them. The pri senw.s at the bar, together with John M'Cann, not in cus tody, were charged with the wilful murder of Ben jamin Gott—the highest crime which one subject could commit towards another—and which involved the lives of the prisoners, and was sufficient, therefore, to engage their most serious attention. No doubt Benjamin Gott t 'atine to his death by violence, but several questions of i m nortance, of some nicety, and of some d;fficulty, arise for their consideration, and decision ; tut whatev,..'r might be the result of this inquiry, he could not but la vent that such scenes should be exhibited in t hi s aourata.) • of the description of the one out of which this unhappy „renrrence had arisen. It was impossible for Lay person acqaa.inted with human nature to suppose t h at a party o f me ,; should parade through a popufar town like Bradford, ex hj e :ting party colours, and playing tunes a party and offenaW,e character, without pro ducing riot and even bloodshed; ii;ld when he heard from one of the witnesses that no such procession as the one in question had taken place for a number cf years, he could not but regret the renewal of the practices of sach exhibitions. With respect to the nature of the proces sion, and the tunes that were played, for the purpose of exhibiting some sort of triumph over a certain class of the inhabitants or Bradford, it was impossible for any one to doubt that the tune of the " Boyne Water" was not played with such intention, although one of the wit nesses, who was a member of one of the Orange Lodges, had at first stated that it was played because it was a merry tune 1 the same party, however, afterwards ad mitted that the tune was played in commemoration of William passing the Boyne water, the remembrance of which circumstance was very offensive to a large por tion of the Irish people. The tune was played in Brad thrd on the day in question, and in that part of Brad ford where the principal part of the Irish reside ; and there could be no doubt it was caculated to excite their feelings, especially so when it was played in that part of the -town where they lived Not that such act jus tified what afterwards took place ; but one could not but lament that such things should take place. He 'loped the jury would divest their minds of all they bad previously heard, and form their judgment on what had taken place in that Court. The indictment, which charged the prisoners at the bar with the murder, ' a i s ,e contained a charge of manslaughter ; so that if the j ur y . should be of opinion that the prisoners were not gu ilty ,of murder, they could return a verdict of man slaughte."; or, under a recent statute, of an assault only; or if th e y found that the charges had not been brought home to we prisoners, they would acquit them alto gether. They would first ascertain the quality of the act, whether it amounted to murder, or whether it was accompanied by circumstances which would reduce the -offence to manslaughter. The crime of murder was to kill with malice aforethought, but if they found that the offence was committed under the excitement produced by the offensive tunes played by the band, and in the course of an affray in which blows were exchanged, then . the crime wenld only amount to manslaughter. It would , rtext be their duty to ascertain what part the several prisoners had taken •in the act. The man or men who struck the fatal blow would be guilty either of murder or manslaughter, but the other parties might be guilty or not, according to the part they took in the stransaction. If several persons form one common de reign, and perpetrated one common deed, and went out together for the accomplishment of such design, then whatever one did, In carrying out the object, they were a Al equally responsible; but if -they did not go out with a vonceived plan, and without knowing what they were Ping to do, and the blows were given, then the who actually struck was alone guilty. The party Learned Judge then went minutely through the evi dence, the recapitulation of which occupied the Court nearly twee,hottrs. • The jury.then retired, and after an absence of an hoar, returned a verdict of Guilty of manslaughter '''against all the prisoners. The sentence was deferred. ' •.Irswicu TuEiinticArA.--The theatre, under the management of Mr. G. Smith, has been open during the Week. Madame Celeste and Mr. Webster have appeared in a iiariety of favourite characters. The celebrated "Polka" has been danced by these two first-xate artistes to crowded houses,'amidst unbOunded applause. In this favourite dance Madame Celeste had displayed • her inimitable graces, and hiserted her claims to the high position she maintains upon the metropolitan boards. Mr. Gomersal has also introduced a - novelty in the shape of a comic song, intitled " Statty Taii" in which he introduced the Mock Cachouca. It has - .I;lmi:received with great applause, and no doubt will have a " run." On Wednesday night the performances were under -the patronage of Lient.-Col. Daly, and the officers of the 4th 'Light Dragoons, upon which occasion, the band of the regi ment was in attendance. The house was crowded to overflow ; indeed the brilliant appearance of the upper circle revived re ' , collections of olden times, and afforded inexpressible gratifi ' 'Tifton to the lovers of the drama. On Thursday night, the Iformances were under the patronage of the Stewards of the • It e ,.es.

Daylight View of LONDON in the OLDEN TIME! -- Painted by Danson and Telbin. The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all termer precedent; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer are all struck with its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of delinea. Lion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex. bibltion ever witnessed. To view it only ar a vehicle for the terrific display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa cious Lake, to be fully appreciated. The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS, on Mon 'ays, Tues days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, conducted by Mr. Godfrey, are upon a scale of more than usual excellence: but words fail in doing justice to the awful representation of THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. Its fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic Alt, that delight is predominant over terror; and the thousands who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit that Southby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechnist, has achieved a matchless triumph.

By an official letter which has been received at the Castle and forwarded from thence to the Lord Mayor, it appears that the new Viceroy will arrive in Dublin on Friday, the 26th instant. Being well aware, as he must necessarily be, of the utter failure of the shilly-Shally system of policy pursued by his prede cessor, it is to be hoped that he will see fit to adopt without delay a totally new system, and exhibit, by deeds as well as words, a sincere disposition to pro mote the welfare of that exciteable and aggrieved country over which he is placed in authority. Hitherto, the policy of the. Irish Lord Lieu tenants has been,. with one or two rare ex ceptions, to rule for the benefit of a party, not of a people; and to show the vast mass of the liberal Catholic population that they are still held in distrust, notwithstanding that the Eman cipation Bill professed for its leading object the doing away with all invidious distinctions between them and the Protestants. But this policy, founded on the principle of an unworthy jealousy, can no longer be pursued with safety. We see how egregiously it has failed in the instance of Lord DE GREY, who with the language of impartiality ever on his lip gave every encouragement to the spirit of partisanship — the curse of Ireland from time immemorial ; and he w ho would endeavour to persevere in this one-sided system of government, can anticipate none other than humiliating and disastrous issue to his perverse exer tions. Lord HEYTESBURY has now as fair an opportunity as statesman ever had, of achieving for himself high renown as a politician, and earning the respect and gratitude of all classes of Irishmen. It - is not ex pected of him that he shall favour the Catholics to the injury of the Protestants, but simply that he shall administer equal justice to both parties, and show that there are no longer divided councils at the Castle by whose malign influence every useful remedial measure is sure either to be strangled at its birth, or else to be so frittered away and clogged with'mischievous ex ceptions as to be rendered nearly, if not quite, ineffi cient for any practical purpose. Till now—if we except the administration of Lords NORMANDY and FORTESCUE, so fruitful of good results—the Lord Lieutenant and the Chief Secretary have usually been opposed to each other in their views, the one aaing as a sort of drag-chain on the other, to curb his movements, and paralyse his measures, should they chance at any time to sin on the side of liberality. Thus was it throughout the whole course of Earl de GREY'S administration. The Chief Secretary, Lord ELIOT, being considered somewhat too liberal for such an official, the Viceroy deemed it his duty to coun teract his views, or if not absolutely counteract them, at any rate to throw a variety of insidious obstacles in the way of their accomplishment. If Lord ELIOT pulled one way, Lord DE GREY immediately made a point of pulling another, and the consequence was that little or nothing of vital importance to the interests of Ireland was done, and people began to wonder— not taking into consideration the difficulties and delicacies of his position—how it was that a man who professed such liberal opinions as the Chief Secretary had always done, and who had openly boasted of them not a month before his entrance upon office at the Castle, should have accomplished so little that was in accordance with his professions. T.,ord ELIOT suffered much in public estimation from this apparent lethargy and indifference on his part ; but the fault was not so much his, as the fault of a pur blind, vicious system of which he was made the scape goat. Henceforth, however, if our anticipation of Lord HEYTESBURY'S course of policy prove to be correct, Lord ELIOT will have a finer opportunity than he has yet had, of carrying his liberal views into practice. He will not be teazed and thwarted, and obstructed at every step of his progress, and be worried into moving in one direction, when he feels that he ought to move in another ; nor will he be taunted with being two liberal, when he feels that, if anything, he his hardly liberal enough, for it is hardly possible to suppose that so experienced and thoroughly practical a statesman as Lord HEYTES BURY, who has seen so much of life in all its forms and varieties, and who has passed so many ears in the public service, during which he cannot fail to have noted the steady, uninterrupted progress of libe- . ral opinions both at home and abroad—it is hardly possible, we say, to imagine that such a statesman can seriously dream for an instant of persevering in the Irish policy of his predecessor, more especially when, from first to last, it has proved so egregious a failure. Hence we may expect to find the Viceroy and his Secretary acting in a spirit of mutual harmony, in stead of doing their best to hamper and embarass each other. The debate on Mr.. M. GIBSON'S motion of Friday night, on the subject. of incendiarism in Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex and Cambridge, afforded another ex ample of the narrow and contracted spirit which directs the votes of the House of Commons, under the leadership of Sir R. PEEL. That House will not legislate, it seems, on grounds so unparliamentary as the admitted existence of a fearful system of criminal outrage, tending to the destruction of property and lite —widely spread—and in active operation over a vast extent of agricultural district. This is not case enough for putting in motion those precautionary processes of inquiry and prevention, which must have resulted from the appointment by her MAJESTY of a "' Com mission to inquire into the condition of the agri cultural labourers in those counties, and to ascertain the nature of the grievances under which they labour." The motion for this Commission—founded on an allegation " that there is reason to believe that the incendiarism which has prevailed for some time in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, is caused by deep discontent among the labouring population of those enun ties"—that motion was lost by a majority of 89 (there being for it, Ayes 41, Noes 130.) At the amount of the majority we are not so much sur prised, for it is about the average maximum of the Government's numerical superiority on divisions; but at the paucity of the supporters which such a motion could array against the compacter and larger phalanx of its opponents, we are at once astonished and ashamed. Liberal Members of all shades of political opinions were bound to have assembled, in order to affirm a proposition based on the clearest principles of humanity and common sense,—in greater force than an aggregate handful of 41. The contemplation of their weakness seems to have emboldened Sir JAMES GRAHAM to. indulge ,in his favourite propensity of reading lectures to all who venture to doubt of the wisdom, the effi ciency, the benevolence, the paternal character of the home administration of her MAJESTY'S Government. Poor Sir JAMES, who has passed this session through so many phases of Ministerial declension, is becoming . somewhat maudlin in his_ captiousness. Before ?tie Post-office exposures he was simply disagreeable. His obstinacy was constitutional (physically speaking, we mean). His crafty and insidious way of stealing a march upon the House whenever it was practicable to do so, in advancing some unpopular measure a stage or two, was only the natural development of his characteristic tendencies. He is a born stra tegist ; and, like the " Nature" which was the presiding Divinity over the worship of "Capability. Baowsr,"—that planner of parks and wildernesses, he " abhors a straight line." His contrasted affecta tion and arrogance ,of manner, half lisp and half rudeness, was deplored only by his friends; it was a source of amusement to his enemies. But ever since the night on which he was reduced to the hard necessity of imploring a Committee , —a Secret Committee—of Inquiry into his own conduct, the bearing of the GR2EME Of • Netherby has become strangely altered. He is querulous, deprecatory, didactic. He relies for his escape out of perplexing ques tions or unwelcome reminiscences, arising out of the current debate, on appeals of the most grave but delicate nature, to the prudential consideration of the old Members ; or he throws himself in his blandest and most dexterous manner on the "generous cour tesy" of the young ones. He is eager to persuade each of the one hundred and ninety and nine antago nists of his scheme for the amendment .of the New Poor-law that he has "prepared a clause " to em body the views or remove the objections that form the ground of the intended opposition. And he talks so complacently of the implicit deference which he pays in all things to "his high sense of public duty," that one is compelled to suppose he has at last wrought himself into a delusive conviction of that apo cryphal fact. Let us see what were the cirumstances under which Mr. GIBSON'S motion was brought forward ; and what was the alarm-cry so successfully raised by Sir JANES GRAHAM and his colleagues as to lead to its rejection. Mr. Ginsox relied, very mainly, on this strong avowal by Sir HENRY BANBURY, a gentleman of eminent distinction in Suffolk, where his family have long been settled—" I must avow my conviction that these incendiary crimes are symptoms of a smoulder ing and dangerous discontent"—and in the language of a letter addressed by the Hon. and Rev. GODOL PHIN OSBORNE to the Duke of RICHMOND, Mr. GlB sox said— " The writer stated, that a deputation of landowners and tenant-farmers had recently waited upon his Grace to apprise hin of the dangers by which they were threat ened ; but that there was not at that meeting a repre sentative of the agricultural labourers. The Rev. writer then proceeded to say, that if the Noble Duke and those in a similar position bestowed upon the condition of the labourer • half the attention they had given to the land lord and the tenant question, or to the improvement of their cattle, he believed they would arrive at the same conclusion with himself—that there was no one creature belonging to the farmers—there was not an animal they reared for use or for sale—that had been the subject of so much neglect as the agricnitural labourer.—(Hear, hear.) ' The Rev. Gentleman requested the Noble Duke and his fellow-landowners to compare the way in which the labourer was housed, fed, and clothed, with the treatment bestowed upon their animals, and then to answer to the public and to themselves why the condi tion of those unfortunate persons had been overlooked." In arguing upon the impossibility of not referring the atrocities of incendiarism to some such causes as these, Mr. GrasoN showed that they could not be re ferred to the detestation with which so large a portion of the labouring community regard the New Poor law; for similar crimes had prevailed (to a yet greater extent even) under the Old Poor-law. When it was considered how large a share of the labours of legislation were devoted to moral and religious pro vision, as the House was told, for the rural and agricultural population—what stress was laid, always, on the necessity for keeping up a system, on their Recount and behalf, of the most extensive pastoral superintendence and church accommodation—it was difficult to disbelieve that they could be actuated in the commission of these incendiary enormities by any feeling short of a sense of personal wrong, and neglect, and injury, at the hands of their employers. It was not to be credited, under such circumstances, that any increase of the number of churches, any additious to the body of the clergy, in these districts ; or any legislative enactments artifi cially to raise the price of bread, would put down this unhappy feeling, or prevent these infamous outrages, if something more were not done to relieve the physical distresses of the poor. For these, and other reasons, the Hon. Member prayed the House to affirm his motion. Sir JAMES GRAHAM could not imagine, he said, what could be the motive of Mr. GIBSON for bring ing forward such a subject. " Why had he thought it his duty-to-state that the interests and comforts of the poorer classes were neglected by that House ? He begged to remind the House that there was such a thing as fanning a smouldering flame." The Right Hon. Baronet next schooled Mr. GIBSON for playing truant from the school of St. Stephens's by a short parenthetical trip into the country : " The Hon. Gentleman, wishing to seek enjoyment, had been absent while the other Members of the House had been discharging their duty as legislators, en deavouring with the most earnest attention to devise some means by which the misfortunes of their poorer fellow-subjects might be ameliorated. But what was the meaning of the comparison the Hon. Gentleman had instituted betsveen the poor of this country and the abori gines —Hottentots. Caffres, and Esquimaux ? (A laugh.) What was the meaning of the Hon. Gentleman's obser vations as to the selfishness and cold-hearted disposition of the landlords ?" But the vial of the Home Secretary's wrath was poured out on the head of the Hon. and Rev. Mr. OSBORNE. Mr. Gissom observed he was a most excel lent man,—a distinguished clergyman. " Sir J. Graham—A rev. clergyman ! He entertained the highest respect for the clergy of this country ; but, even among the most humane members of that hod}, there were some indiscreet individuals. Nay, there was such a thing as it'popularity-hunting parson, just as there were agitating Members of Parliament.—(A laugh.)" _ _ _ Now, in this evasive, timid, hushing policy of which Sir JAMES is so admirable an expositor, lies the fatal vice of the present Government's legislation on great social questions. The night and the day are equally frighted by hideous spectacles of ruin in blazinghome steds and desolated farm-houses. Grain, cattle, furniture, personal property of all kinds, live stock (and not sel dom human life) ► perish with awful frequency in these devouring visitations, by the abominable crimes of the cowardly incendiary. Yet Sir J. GRAHAM and others would have us remain quiet; not as we verily believe, because of a perceptible decrease in the number of calamities, but because he would not willingly find Commissioners of Inquiry reporting to Parliament, that want and misery—low wages and dear bread— were at the bottom of their sufferings by whose ven geance it is surmised that these horrors are perpe trated; or that cheap bread (which it is the duty of the Legislature to give them) and higher wages (from the necessity for giving which neither master manufacturers nor master farmers, nor farmers' land lords, should be allowed to excuse themselves on the plea of bread being cheap) would touch the very root of the evil; and establish the hopefill reign of peace and plenty, in place of the baneful dominion of famine and despair! More State murders, for we can give no other name to the executions ordered by NARVAEZ, have been committed in the east of Spain. It appears that three Carlists and two smugglers were arrested in the month of June, at Caspe, a town in Arragon, and their trial before the Criminal Court of the dis trict was fixed for the Bth inst. The trial had com menced, the evidence for the prosecution was closed, and the Counsel for the defendants were allowed till the 12th to prepare the defence. But superior orders put an end to the trial. An officer, commanding a detachment of twenty infantry and nine ca valry, arrived. from Alcaniz, at Caspe, on the evening of the Bth. Next day the three unhappy Carlists were removed from their dungeons and en joined to confess, and at 12 o'clock they were shot. The judge opposed, by every legal means, so flagrant an injustice, but what can the tribunals do in presence of bayonets ? One of the three sufferers, Pajares, died without confession, and Christian burial was denied to his remains. The El Clamor Publico makes the following striking remarks on this atrocious act of injustice and cruelty : " It would be vain to seek among the most barbarous na tions and at the periods of the most cruel tyranny so atrocious and scandalous a fact. Savage hordes themselves respect the forms and sanctity of justice. But the men at present in power are not content, with assuming the attributes of the judiciary power, by means of the military dictators of the state of siege, who send men to the scaffold without even the semblance of a trial ; they seek their victims among the inmates of the prisons and withdraw them by military force from the legi. timate power of the tribunals, from the protection of the laws and the safeguard of justice. It is incredible that such a system should find advocates. Those are not political questions in volving the forms or guarantees of the representative Govern ment; they are social questions--questions of honour and humanity. The nation abhors such iniquitous proceedings, the entire opprobrium of which must fall on the ruling party, and on the men who represent in the Cabinet its doctrines and principles." - - The Heraldo, a Government paper, thus attempts to excuse these deeds of horror : "The province of Almeria has just been proclaimed in a state of siege. This measure is caused by occurrences in various places, and the machinations of rioters, which, on the 7th, were followed by demonstrations on the part of the lowest classes •of the people, and seditious cries. There is no doubt as to the revolutionary party being already preparing for another pronunciamento. Besides the attempted riots at Almires, Sarigossa, and Murcia, the troops have been insulted at Grenada. At Cadiz an attempt has been made to tamper with them, and, at Madrid, depots of arms and ammunition are daily detected. Foreign prints, which are considered to be well informed, also affirm that the day of a general rising is not distant, and that even Espartero thinks of trying his fortunes again." The Verdad, a Barcelona paper, dated the 15th instant, contains the following : " Yesterday, two English ships of war, the Formidable, of 84 guns, and L'Aigle, of 24, anchored off Barcelona. It appears that they are proceeding to Tangiers, where all the maritime nations will soon have a squadron. It is Vice-Admiral Sir E. Owen who commands these ships." On the Madrid Bourse the Three per Cents. were quoted on the 13th at 27 for cash, 271 at 60 days, and the Fives at 201 for 60 days. The Paris papers received to-day add little to the intelligence from France published on Saturday. The business in both Chambers was rapidly drawing to a close. More than two hundred passports of Deg puties had been signed by the President, and most of them were to leave on Sunday for the country. On Saturday M. GARNIER PAGES brought forward a motion to empower the Government to raise a hien by public subscription on the Three per Cent. Stock, as bad been done lately in Belgium. The Finance Minister, though he did not directly oppose the mea sure, stated the disadvantages which it would impose upon the Government, and at the same time admitted that in some respects it was preferable to raising a loan by contract. The motion was carried by a large majority, but still it is understood that the Minister of Finance may raise the loan either by contract in the usual way, or by public subscription. He was expected to make a statement on the subject in the course of the day. Most of the papers make strong comments on Lord PALMERSTON'S speech relative to the slave trade. The following are the remarks in the Journal des Debots _ _ • " We are bound to declare that Lord Palmerston's speech has singularly disappointed us. It appears that it was not very successful at home, for the English journals do not take the least notice of it. It is the usage in England at the end. of the session for one of the leading Opposition Members to review the labours of the political year, called business of the Session. Formerly, Lord Lyndhurst took up this task, and acquitted himself of it with wonderful success. But Lord Lyndhurst is now Chancellor, and takes his repose. Indeed, he is generally thought to repose himself too much, and to abandon himself to somnolency on the woolsack. During the last three years, Lord Palmerston has gathered the in heritance of Lord Lyndhurst, and has regularly before the end of the session come forward, and delivered a well com posed, academical oration, full of mind and spirit, as every thing is which Lord Palmerston does when he feels it worth his while to take the necessary pains. That spirit we expected to find on this occasion—but we have sought for it in vain. During the whole of the business of this session, so fertile in checks to the Tory Ministry, Lord Palmerston made choice— why or wherefore we cannot tell—of a question which is cer tainly not without importance, but with which the people on both sides of the Channel begin to be wearied—that of the right of search. Th e l a te Whig Minister nnved,for some papers relating to the treaty for the suppression Of the trade, and availed himself of this fo revive discussions which ware happily dormant for the moment, and which all his cold declamation was not able to rouse. Four or five months ago Lord Palmerston pompously announced his intention to move an address to the Queen, praying her Majesty not to ratify any change that might be proposed to be made in the existing treaties as to the right of search. The Chamber showed the high interest it took in the Noble Lord's motion by leaving its benches empty on the day it was to be made, and his Lordship was silent from want of hearers. Lord Pal merston thus driven to suspend his motion, gave notice that he should bring it forward at a future day. This he has now done, but unfortunately the subject was what is ♦ulgarly called rechauffe--a stale dish hashed up again. Sir Robert Peel, feeling himself at ease in meeting an attack so feeble, afforded the House considerable amusement at the expense of the ci-devant Whig Minister. The evident coldness of the House must have satisfied Lord Palmerston that, in endea vouring to awaken jealous feelings between England and France, he made a useless appeal to passions which are rapidly being absorbed and extinguished. The Minister of 1840 seemed indeed to feel that he was pleading a bad cause, for he, in the conclusion, made the amende honourable by pro testing that no one could more highly than he did appreciate the advantages of a union between the two greatest consti tutional kingdoms of Europe. But if Lord Palmerston speaks sincerely, if he really conceives the benefit which a good harmony between the two nations must produce to the cause of humanity and civilisation, how happens it that he misses no opportunity for sowing the seeds of jealousy and animosity between them? On this occasion Lord Palmer ston has proved himself, as he almost always has done, a man of ability without judgment." The National alludes to the speech in its usual manner, attacking the English Government and M. GuizoT at the same time : " It will be seen by the debate that the expression of pub lic opinion in France is treated very lightly by our neigh bours. The solemn will of the Chamber of Deputies, as ex pressed in two addresses, and in several unanimous votes, is nothing to them. The English statesmen always hope to arrive at the constant object of their efforts, always the same, be the Ministers Whigs or Tories. They think . that a moment will come in which we shall get tired of desiring to protect our navy and trading vessels against the pretended police imposed by England. And how, in fact, should they not have this hope, when they behold our Chamber vote black and white with a marvellous facility, as has just oc curred in so grave an affair as that of the railroads? When they see that M. Guizot, the defender of the right of search, the advocate of the English prerogatives, has become sta tionary on his Ministerial bench, in spite of the so-often ma nifested reprobation of public opinion and of the French Par liament."

It has often happened, and will doubtless frequently occur again, that to obtain accurate estimates of pending events, we must look for information from abroad. But in the in stance to which we now have to draw attention, the reverse, it may safely be assumed, is not the fact. It was not to be expected that the West India monopolists would concur in the law for: admitting the produce of free-grown foreign sugars at a reduced duty. The toscin of alarm, ht first sounded but slightly on this side of the ocean, has been echoed back with redoubled strength from the West India colonies. Nothing but total destruction to the planters is held to be inevitable. Take as a sample of the feelings of the colonists a resolution passed at a meeting held at Falmouth, Ja maica, last month, upon this subject. It is as follows :—" That such a proposition (i. e., the Government increase, if carried into effect by the Imperial Legislature, will expose this colony to a ruinous competition with foreign producers, and will afford unjustifiable facilities to the sur reptitious and indirect introduction into the home markets of slave-grown produce, inflicting a lasting and irretrievable in jury upon every class of persons connected with or resident in this colony, it being utterly impracticable for the agricul turists to withdraw from the cultivation of the present staples, and to apply their capital, machinery, or stock, to any other remunerating stock." It will be for the authorities at home to place'all due checks to prevent the admission of slave produce in contravention of the provisions of the Act of the Imperial Legislature permit ! ting sugars, the produce of free-labour, to be entered for home consumption at the reduced duty. There were late, and we are pleased to say, favourable accounts from New South Wales this morning. The dates are to the 6th April, brought by the General Hewitt. Trade had improved, and crime had decreased. Of the 5,000 emigrants to be sent out by the Home Government, 1,500 had reached the colony, and all had found employment. So far, therefore, the intentions of the Government, have been successful. Those acquainted with agricultural pursuits were most in demand. It was es timated that the flocks of sheep in the colony were at least five millions in number. In the Stock Market this morning there has been some alteration to-day. The current value of Consols for Money and the Account has been from 99i to 99i, being an improvement of * per cent. The Government brokers bought 20,0001. Reduced Three per Cents. at 1081, the highest value that has been paid for this Stock for very many years. All the other Funds were firm. The Reduced Three and-a-Half per Cents. are in full demand at 1031 ; India Stock for the Account at 286 ; Bank Stock at 1991 to 200 ; and the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at 2* per cent. above par. The Foreign Market is not quite so buoyant. Spanish Consols have receded to 22i, and Three per Cents. are at 33i i ; Portuguese. Converted are flat at 441. The other Continental and South American Bonds bear about Satur day's values. The Railway Shares are advancing.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHA N GE-MONDAY. Fresh up to- day we received a fair quantity of Wheat from Kent and Essex, but that from other parts was rather limited. The stands being rather heavily filled with last week's un sold samples, and the millers not feeling disposed to purchase except on easier terms ; the demand for all kinds of 'Wheat of home produce was excessively heavy, at a decline in the currencies noted on Monday last of from is to, in some in stances, 35 per quarter, and at which amount of depression no progress could be made in effecting sales. There was only a moderate quantity of free foreign Wheat on sale, yet the trade with that article was as dull as almost ever remembered, and the rates gave way from is to fully 2s per quarter. Comparatively speaking, only a limited quantity has paid duty. In bonded Grain so little was doing that the quotation re mained nominally the same. Of samples of Foreign Barley, a good number was on sale ; while the Barley trade was ex cessively dull, and where sales were pressed, is per quarter more money would have been accepted. No English Barley at market. The supply of Malt embraced only about 3,800 quarters, yet that grain was a mere drug, and might have been purchased at a great reduction in value. The quantity of Oats was large, and we have to notice a decline of 6d per quarter in their value. Beans, Peas, and Flour declined from Is to 2s per quarter, with next to nothing doing in them. So little was doing is Seeds, that the rates were almost no minal. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

SMITHFIELD. From our northern grazing districts, a fall average time. of year supply of beasts came fresh to hand, in, for the most part, excellent condition ; while the droves from other quar ters were tolerably extensive ; hence our market was well supplied with that description of stock. Notwithstanding the prevailing warm weather, we have to report a steady, but by no means brisk, demand for Beef, at, in every in stance, prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last —the best Scots realising 4s per 81bs—and at the conclusion of business a good clearance was effected by the salesmen. The number of Sheep were again on the increase. However, the primest Downs and Half-breds commanded a fair inquiry, at very full currencies, while all other kinds were quite as dear, and nearly the whole of them were disposed of. Al though the supply of Lambs was large, the inquiry for them was steady, and full rates were realised without difficulty. Prime small Calves sold freely, other kinds of Veal slowly, at late rates. Upwards of 200 Pigs were received from .- land, while the Pork trade was in a sluggish state, at barely stationary prices.

On reference to our returns below it will be observed that the arrivals of country-killed meat up to these markets since this day se'nnight have been seasonably good, but a large portion, owing to the prevailing warm weather, has come to hand much out of condition, and consequently been disposed of at miserably low rates. The supplies of meat slaughtered in the metropolis have been, the time of year considered, tole rably extensive, yet the demand has ruled, comparatively speaking, steady at in most transactions, if we except those of the inferior qualities of Beef and Pork, full prices. - At per stone, by the Carcase. s. 41. too. d. s d. to 8.41. ,reef, inferior.... ...... 2 0 2 2 Mutton, inferior 2 4 2 8 - middling .... 2 4 '2 6 middling..„. 210 3 2 -- prime large - prime 3.4 3 8 - prime 5ma11...... 3 2 3 4 Pork, large 2 6 3 4 Veal .. .. 3 2 4 2 -small 3 6 4 0 Lamb, 4a Od to 5s Od.

The public sales of Wool held since our last have been well attended by buyers. At their commencement the bid dings were not very animated, and prices even hardly main tained. However, as they have proceeded they have become brisk, at in some instances higher figures. The sales will be brought to a close on Thursday next. Privately a fair busi ness is doing, both in English and Foreign, at late rates. The imports for the past week have amounted to nearly 4,000 packages. TALLOW IVIAILICET. This market is the same, the prices are unaltered, and bu siness dull. The advices received from. St. Petersburgh are up to the 13th instant. Prices then were the same as the two or three previous posts. 111 to 114 roubles, making the cost down here, 43s to 43s 6d per cwt. Town Tallow is 40s ad nett cash. BOROUGH AND SPITAXMIELDS. Such is the limited business doing in old Potatoes—the supplies of which on offer are smaller—that it is difficult to give accurate figures. However they may be considered to range from 60a to 85s per ton. New potatoes are in good supply and active demand, at from 7s to 15s per cwt. BOROUGH HOP MARKET. We have again to report the receipt of very unfavourable reports from Sussex, and several parts of the Weald of Kent, where the bine is looking very unhealthy, and where it is now evident but few hops can be produced. The Worcester dis trict and the best parts of East and mid Kent promise a good return. The duty is called 145,000/. For most kinds of Hops the demand is in a very sluggish state, and prices are barely supported.

THE SUNKEN WRECK IN RAMSEY BAY. Ramsey, Isle of Man, July 17, 1844. Sir,—On Friday last I went out, in a boat, three miles in the bay, and succeeded in bringing the wreck of a vessel (supposed to be the Alexander M'Niel, of Stranraer, lost in March last) nearly on shore, her mast-head being a most dangerous obstruction m the way of the navigation. (Signed) F. APNIELLY. To W. Dobson, Esq., Lloyd's, THE ISTHMUS OF SUEZ.—The arrival of the Go vernor-General of India in Egypt, on his overland route, is an event not to be passed without notice. We have read with great interest that Sir Henry Hardinge has had an in terview with Mahomed Ali, and no doubt made that liberal minded Prince see the mutual benefits Egypt and England must derive from a close and friendly intercourse. The day cannot be far distant when the Mediterranean and Red Sea shall be united, if not by a canal, by ft railway, which may be said to unite even seas together, almost as effectively as if the waters of one flowed into the other. We anticipate that, ere long, we shall have a convention with Egypt for the conveyance of our regiments from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, and thence to India, thus enabling us to send in about two months, or six weeks on an emergency, a European force to our empire in the East. Instead of conveying our soldiers round the Cape at an enormous expense, our regiments could, after a proper seasoning in the Mediterranean, be moved on to India, and vice versa, as required, when a railway had been completed, as we trust is now determined on. The visit of Sir Henry Hardinge to the Pacha, we conceive will do much - good; and as the begin ning of a friendly arrangement, for still greater facility and celerity of transit through Egypt, we cannot too highly esti mate the wisdom of the Governor-General's laying the basis of the negotiations for that object.—Naval and Military Gazette. IMPORTANT TO EMIGRANTS TO NEW ORLEANS.— By advices from her Majesty's Consul at New Orleans, it appears that the yellow fever had been singularly destructive of life among emigrants arriving from Europe during the sickly season of the autumn of the year. The Commissioners of Emigration have issued a notice warning persons of the danger, and apprising them that in order to avoid it th e y ought not to be induced to start from this country during the months of Juno, July, August, and September. DEATH Or DOCTOR HASLAM.—On Saturday morn ing, at half-past eight o'clock, John Haslam, M.D., died at his house in Lamb's Conduit-street, in the Blst year of his ase. The doctor was distinguished for the cure and allevia tion of diseases of the mind, and has left behind him many valuable works upon this melancholy subject. He was an excellent scholar, ,a witty and cheerful companion, and a most zealous and sincere friend ; .and his Memory w ill b e long cherished by a nurnef:ous class of friends and admirers. We are happy to notice the impro vemen t t h at has taken place in - the receipts of the Rhenish Railway, amount-• ing to about 400,000 f., in the fi rs t s i x months of this year compared with 1843. In the first six months of 1844, the receipt was 214,122 dollars ; ditto, 1843, 113,762 dollars ; increase in 1844, 100,3110 dollars. The receipts iu June, 1844, were 22,230 dollars more than in June, 1843. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the CL air at Twelve o'clock.
