The proceedings of Parliament for the session were brought to a close yesterday, and the result on the whole is satisfactory. The. House of Lords—Nye mean the House of law Lords—have vindicated the character of that aristocratic assembly by a rare in stance of justice. The Irish Court of Queen's Bench, the fighting Attorney-General, the wavering Re corder, and the Orange jury, have had justice admi nistered to them. They have been weighed in a just balance, and found wanting. Ireland has reason to thank Sir ROBERT PEEL and Lord WIIARNCLITTE for the wise policy which they pursued by interdicting a general vote of the House on the Irish trials. Had the rabid Tories been allowed to vote, Mr. O'CoNNELL and his colleagues must have served out their period of imprisonment, paid their fines, and entered into heavy securities for many years to commit no " breach of the peace —a phrase that would have been left to the interpretation of judges, juries, and other Irish public functionaries, who, as this trial has evinced, are the very last men in the world to whom a man's liberty or property ought to be entrusted. That affair, thanks to three English upright noblemen, has been amicably arranged, and nearly the whole of Ireland is celebrating their praises. Fires, we may say, are now blazing on every bill, to announce that the best friend of his country had been unjustly condemned by his fellow citizens, and • - Justice done to him by three men be longing to a party which he recklessly maligned. In this affair, he has no reason to blame the Whi gs . 'They have supported him from the beginning to the end. Mr. DUNCOMBL s speech and Lord JOHN Rus• aELL's speech yesterday, are- sufficient proofs of the interest which independent Englishmen take in the affairs of the sister country and, th oug h T ories, Whigs u n it e to oppress that, without Conservatives, and renegade thout them, Irishmen may rest satisfi e d the repeal of the union, justice w ill , in the end, prevail. Another important qu est i on ad verted to was the dispute between England and France about "one PRITCIIARD." The public know the strong words used by Sir ROBERT PEEL relative to the arrest and expulsion of this English missionary, and they now learn, from his own mouth, that the dispute has been brought to an " amicable and satisfactory termination." We shall suspend our judgment till the Parliamentary documents are pub lished, while at the same time we entertain the belief that the Prime Minister of England would not have risked his own character, and the N Offkettrlf his country, by accepting a smaller !than was consistent with his strong • sin* 'f .0 wrong which had been inflicted "Tt.y• \Fre' h id 6 e t - ne ,45 cers on his countryman. Another „moue . - of the proceedings yesterday was the retire ent of Lori ; S TANLEY from the House of Corn s:•-•••••-•...1C-Q1151.- not •un this pu— to any misunder• ki a standing between him and Sir R. PEEL, though they seem/ two of the least cordial men in the Cabinet. it certainly cannot be said that gunners, who at this distance battered down fortifications, which were built by Europeans, and defended by the Moors with the courage of despair, showed a want of skill. It is proper also to observe that, with the exception of two men, calling themselves officers on board the Warspite, but not daring to publish their names, there is not an English seaman who does not speak in proper terms of our squadron. Two great nations, whether friends or enemies, ought always to respect each other. For our part, whilst we condemn se verely the policy of our Government, we have made, and shall always make it a law, to avoid whatever might offend the just pride of the British nation." The following article in the National, to which we have alluded, we give as a curiosity : We believe it is a necessary arrangement. The gallant old Duke, we regret to say, is sinking into the vale of years ; for his age the duty at the Horse Guards is sufficient. Lord WHAENCLIFFE is a discreet and honest statesman, but neither he nor any one of the party is fitted to be a leader in the Lords, and to Lord STANLEY, therefore, must be entrusted the task. We only hope that he and Sir R. PEEL will chime together, and that when measures of relief for Ire land are carried on in the Commons, they will not be rejected in the Lords by the united voices of LYND HURST, STANLEY, BROUGHAM, and the Orange party. We find little else to notice, if we except a notice of motion made by Mr. T. DUNCOMBE. He is deter mined to stick to the thieves who steal intelligence from the Post-office, and announced that next session he would submit a specific measure on the subject. If the country support Mr. DUNCOMBE, this abomina ble intrusion upon the affairs of private individuals kill soon be utterly abolished. " While we should be making our preparations, Eng land would, no doubt, do all in her power to obstruct us; but if the preparations were well directed—if we availed ourselves with ability of the embarrassments into which England would be thrown, by having to provide for the defence of her thousand colonies and her innumerable merchant ships, to land at Hastings—the English would be obliged to submit to the law of the conqueror, and in two days afterwards we should dictate terms of peace at St. James's. England has but few troops, and perhaps the least warlike population in Europe. As to commu nications with France, an army landed in England would not need them long, because its campaign would be very short ; and besides our troops would not, probably, swim across the Channel, but the transports which carried them over would be ready to bring them back, after breaking the yoke of aristocracy under which the people of England, as well as the greater part of the world, have been made to bend." The mere rumour—to which we alluded in The Sun of yesterday—that the Anti-Corn-law League have determined, during the Parliamentary recess, to bestow the most vigilant attention on the register, with a view to give fair play to the constituencies, by securing the privilege of voting to those who are qua lified to vote, and ensuring the rejection of those who are disqualified ;—the mere rumour, we say, of such an intention on the part of this great popular confederacy has had the effect of throwing the mono polists into fits of alarm and indignation, which they take the opportunity of venting from time to time through the convenient medium of the Tory portion of the Press. On Wednesday, for instance, a letter vehemently vituperative of the League, its motives, actions, &c., appeared in the sympathising columns of the Herald, and yesterday another letter, filled with equal, if not worse, abuse, figures conspicuously in the columns of the Post. In this last communica tion the writer—whose epistolary excellencies by no means remind us of those of Jusics or HORACE WALPOLE—thus showers down the vials of his wrath on the head of the injured and unoffending League: —" The Anti-Corn-law Leaguers have no notion of any party being anxious to do good without the im petus of interested and selfish motives. Disinterested philanthropy is a feeling the nature of which they are altogether unable to comprehend. Being them selves a gang of the most notoriously selfish imposters that the world has ever produced, confederated toge ther for the purpose of promoting their own selfish interests at the expense of the common weal, and while with a bray of mendacious impudence that might Kell form a model for every bold vagabond that seeks, by false pretences to swindle the public, they assert that the public good is the main object they have in view. They cannot imagine that other par ties can be anxious to do good to their fellow-men with out being actuated by the same base and disgrace ful motives." The grammar of this precious philippic is somewhat in eclipse, like the consistency of the Conservatives ; but let that pass, our business at pre sent is rather with its sentiment than its syntax. No one can doubt that the writer is of the monopolist per suasion, and as little, that his abuse—however dis guised under a lofty show of contempt—originates in apprehension of the threat of the League to look sharply after the register, and in jealousy of the " untoward" consequences that will accrue to his party from such laudable vigilance on the part of the free traders. The language of the philippic is contemptuous and swaggering enough, but the spirit is mean and cowardly to a degree. The " hand is the hand of ESAU, but the voice is the voice of JACOB." Did the writer really entertain the scorn which he professes for the League—did he really believe that it consisted merely of " notoriously selfish impostors" and " bold vagabonds," most assuredly he would never have taken the trouble to pelt them with such desperate Billingsgate as he has done in the above passage ; but would have contented himself with maintaining a haughty silence, and laughing at the exertions of those from whom he felt that monopoly had nothing to fear. But, despite his affected contempt flir the Anti-Corn-law League, he knows and feels in his inmost heart that it is an engine of infinite moral power—that it is a confederacy whose influence is daily on the increase—that every move it makes gives a rude shake to the crazy fabric of monopoly—that, even when apparently inactive, it is in reality as alert as a vigilant sentinel on his post—and that its recently announced determination to take a leaf out of the Tory book, and look sharply after the register, is an omen of the most disastrous import to the protection ists. The writer of the vulgar and intemperate letter on which we have been commenting, knows and feels all this, hence his exquisite alarm, which he would fain, but cannot, disguise, under a show of lofty indig nation and contempt. To do him justice, his appre hensions are by no means ill-founded, and long ere the present year shall have reached its close, he will find that the interference of the League with the register will have been productive of the most dis astrous results to the cause which he espouses. Sir ROBERT PEEL, that consistent advocate of expediency, will be foremost to acknowledge the moral influence of this great confederacy's exertions during the re cess, and will shape his course accordingly, no longer declaring himself—as at the commencement of the last session—in terms of open hostility to the League, but discreetly moderating his opposition, and perhaps even making a decided move in the direction of free trade. We subjoin additional extracts from the papers : A letter from Brussels of the Ist says :—" The repri sals ordered against Prussian navigation, relative to the tolls of the Scheld, had decided the Cabinet of Berlin, which takes a far greater interest in its provinces in Northern Pru3sia than in those of the Rhine, to renew at Brussels the negotiations so suddenly interrupted in the month of June. Last night a treaty of thirty articles was signed by General Goblet and Baron d'Arnim. This treaty comprehends, in one single convention, stipu lations relative to the tariffs, and those which refer to the advantages of navigation. It is confidently asserted that Prussia places us in an exceptional position of fa vour of 33 per cent. relative to the duties lately imposed on the entry of foreign iron, whatever quarter it comes from. This article is the principal point of the new con vention. Prussia obtains in compensation definitively the enjoyment of the treatment of an allied nation in the Scheid, the repayment of the tolls of this river, the pecu liar advantages of bonding in the port of Antwerp, and the transit by the railroad." The Comtitutionnel says— " Yesterday, some of the servants belonging to the Tuileries were occupied in the court-yard in loading a quantity of - baggage, without doubt for the journey to Eu. It appears, however, that the King does not think of making so low , a stay there as he does each year at this residence. On a the contrary, a theatrical representa tion is spoken of as being about to be given in the thea tre of St. Cloud, which has been just repaired and em bellished. The piece to be given is an old opera, called Raoul de Crequy, by Deleyrac. It was chosen by the King himself, and is now in preparation." The Debats contradicts, on the authority of a let ter from Italy, the statement that Prince JOSEPH BONAPARTS had bequeathed 66,000 f. to his brother, JEaostp, ex-King of Westphalia. He left him simply a snuff-box, as a mark of his affection, and another to Prince Louis. The fortune of JOSEPH, the latter says, is far from being so considerable as was stated.

No little excitement and conjecture were occasioned in the House of Commons yesterday, in the first instance by the unexpected motion for a new writ for North Lancashire, in the room of the Right Hon. Lord Stanley, who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds ! In answer to a question, however, from Mr. T. Duncombe, Sir Robert Peel stated that Lord Stanley would still continue to hold the seals of the Colonial Secretary. It is presumed, therefore, that the Noble Lord will be called up by a patent of creation to the House of Peers, in the lifetime of his father, the Earl of DERBY, in order to lead in the Upper House. Notwithstand ing the explanation thus afforded by the Premier, the motion for this new writ appeared to cause consi derable sensation among the Members present in the Commons. We will not stop to state with what feelings we should have learned the announcement of this Noble Lord's retirement from office altogether, but we own to some curiosity for news from the other constituent of the political siamese twins, whose union under the names of STANLST and GRAHAM has always appeared to us at least as extraordinary as - the physical alliance of their duplicate prototypes. We have received Madrid journals of the 29th ult., but they are destitute of interest. According to ac counts from Cadiz of the 24th, the Prince DE JOIN VILLE had nut arrived at that place, but was hourly expected. The Finance Minister has announced that the interest on the Three per Cent. Bonds to be given t• the holders of the bonds of the floating debt, as well as those given in the settlement with those par ties who had had contracts with the Government, shall only be payable in Madrid. The editor of the Es pectador has been arrested and sent to prison. The publication of the journal has been suspended until another director has been chosen in his stead. THE REVIEW.—His Royal Highness Prince Albert came to town yesterday from Windsor Castle, to witness the review in Hyde-park. His Royal High ness the Prince of Prussia and the gentlemen of his suite, his Grace the Duke of Wellington, Commander in -Chief, and a numeroue staff of military officers were present. The illustrious party arrived on the ground at eleven o'clock when the review immediately commenced. HER MAJESTY'S Madrid Bourse on the 28th.—Three per Cents., 27 for cash ; 27 5-16 for account. Five per Cents., 191 for account. The Paris papers bring no news, and there is a tire some sameness in their articles on Morocco and Otaheite. The only novelty with regard to the latter is a paragraph in the Siecle, which says—" The Otaheite affair continues to create great anxiety in the Cabinet, which it threatens with a dissolution. When Marshal SOULT left Paris for St. Amend, he openly expressed his disgust at the part it was at tempted to make him play in the Ministry. He since tendered his resignation, and for nine clays together refused to sign any document. The Council was vir tually dissolved. Through a weakness too habitual to him, the Marshal has withdrawn his . 2esignation ; but he has made his conditions, the principal terms of which are these—the recal of M. D'AUBION Y is the sole satisfaction that shall be yielded to England, and it shall be clearly explained that he is recalled because his conduct has been partly disavowed by his supe rior, Captain BRUAT." We are inclined to place little confidence in this statement. No member of the Cabinet, not even M. GUIZOT, is more anxious for peace with England than the veteran Marshal. He has seen enough of war, he is satisfied with the laurels he so bravely won, and would be the last to endanger the peace of the world by any rude conduct towards a country that he always speaks of with the highest respect. May there not be some other cause ? Is the Marshal quite satisfied with the displays made by the Prince DE JOIN VILLE, and by the plans of the Court to obtain popularity for the younger branches of the Royal Family, even at the risk of war ? With the exception of that mad journal, the National, which talks of declaring peace to England at St. James's, the journals sairoenamlloy ve rep r a y cific. Even the Siecle, whi c h i s ocea warlike, thus professes to wish for peace :—" The press of London has the good sense now to acknowledge that our squadrons gave proofs of intrepidity and skill in the attack upon Mogadore. It would have been diffieult, indeed, this time to maintain that success was due to the ignorance or confidence of the Moors in allowing our ships to take up their positions before firin g upon them. As soon as the squadron was within reach, the Moors opened their fire, and it was under a brisk cannonade that all our ships laid themselves in the positions as signed to them. Two ships of the line were forced, by the shallowness of the water, to keep at a distance of 1,800 metres from the batteries of the enemy, wad The Birmingham Art-Union •is proceeding with great activity.

SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY.—The works in the vici nity of this city (Exeter) are at length begun in good earnest—a number of men being daily employed in the Exwick fields—immediately opposite the terminus of the Bristol and Exeter Railway. An immense mass of rock, near the town of Dawlish, was blown up on Thursday, with a charge of 1601bs. of gunpowder, in the presence of a vast concourse of the inhabitants of the neighbour hood, who had assembled to witness the operation.— Western Luminary. Cum.osirTorr.:—The vicar of this place, the Rev. W. Sykes, met with a serious accident on Friday even ing last. Having set down some friends he had been driving in a pony phaeton, the opening of the door of the house frightened the ponies, which suddenly started off, and crossing an open gutter, the suddenness of the jerk threw him out of the carriage. Mr. Sykes kept the reins in his hands, which brought the ponies round upon him, and they unfortunately trampled upon him, causing some severe contusions in the head and face. The Rev. Gentleman was taken up quite insensible, and for several days was in much danger. We are happy to hear he is now in a fair way of recovery.— Western Luminary. FALL IN THE PRICE Or BREAD IN THE Mrrzoro- Lis.—ln consequence of the favourable accounts received from the agricultural districts of the promising state of the harvest, the price of wheat at Mark-lane has fallen this week is. to 2s. per quarter in first quality, and 4s. to ss. per quarter on second qualities.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1844. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. The Funds have been buoyant this afternoon, the tenor of the Royal Speech, communicated at so early an hour in The Sun, having given a lift to prices. Consols closed at 994 8 for Money, and 998 1 for Ac count. Exchequer Bills did not vary. The Three per Cent. Annuities for special transfer touched par. The Foreign Bonds were also rather better. Spanish Actives realised 224 8, the Three per Cent 3. 338 a ; Por tuguese Converted, 418 ;Mexican, 358; Colombian, 138; Brazilian, 844 to 851 ; Belgium, 103 ; and Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents., 61* to R.

The following is an extract worth notice. It is taken from the Toronto Patriot :—" The rapid increase in the size and population of our flourishing city of Toronto, cannot fail to strike with surprise and pleasure every person who has returned to it after an absence of two or three years. The last ten years have witnessed changes which half a century would hardly bring to pass in other less favoured localities. In 1834 the population was just nine thousand. It is now at least twenty thousand. This rapid increase has been chiefly the work of the last four or five years, and, strange to say, more particularly visible since the much dreaded removal of the seat of Government. The latter event did unquestionable mis chief to the interests of Toronto, but the resources and advantages with which Providence has blessed her, have made ample amends for the losses she may have sus tained from the caprice or chicanery of political jugglers. " King James arrogantly threatened to remove his Court from London, and divest that renowned metropolis of its character as the seat of imperial power. " We, poor citizens, ought to be grateful,' was the bold answer of the stout-hearted Lord Mayor, that your Majesty cannot remove the Thames from London.' " A representative of our Queen despoiled Toronto of her political supremacy, but her noble harbour, and splendid agricultural resources in the rear, were pos sessions of which no Executive caprice or tyranny could deprive the loyal old city ; and so she has continued to increase and flourish, uncheered by a solitary ray of official favour or Viceregal sunshine." Of colonial arrivals, later in point of date than those' before received, there are none to-day. A large purchase of Consols waa made this morning —namely, 100,0001. by a trading broker, and the prices advanced from 984 to 994 for the Account, and from 99i to 99113- 4 for Money. The Government brokers did not make any purchases to-day. The Stock Market is extremely firm, the decision of the Peers on the writ of error having given much satisfaction. For Ex chequer Bills the premium is a trifle lower. India Stock was at 281. The Foreign Market is rather buoyant for Spanish, Brazilian, and Danish Bonds, but not much business is doing. Railway Shares are in good demand. PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS AT ONE O'CLOCK (From the Official List.) Bank Stock. ....,....................... ....... — 3 per Cent.

His Royal Highness was attended by the proprietor, to whom he was pleased to express the highest admiration of this splendid spectacle. BARTHOLOMEW FAlR.—This fair commenced on Tuesday morning. It has been usual for the Lord Mayor, accompanied by his mace bearer, the sheriffs, and under-sheriffs, to arrive on the ground in state, and pro claim the fair, pursuant to the terms of the ancient char ter. This year, however, the Lord Mayor came pri vately, attended only by the town-crier, and some of the inferior officers of the city. His Lordship arrived at Messrs. Footvye and Mudge's, in Smithfield, at about two o'clock, and proceeded through the house to the back entrance in Cloth-fair, where barricades h a d b een erected, and a strong body of police stationed to keep off the crowd. The town-crier then read the proclama tion, and in less than five minutes the proceedings were over. There are this year no large shows in the fair. Messrs. Johns( n and Nelson Lee, the proprietors of the far-famed " Richardson's," applied to Mr. Shank, the market-clerk, for the ground they usually occupied, and received a reply that the ground could not be let for the purpose of erecting shows. The housekeepers in Smith field have been deprived of the privilege of letting the ground in the front of their houses to the keepers of the gingerbread and toy-stalls, occasioning a loss to them I collectively of 9001. per year. The Markets Committee only have now the power of letting the ground for stalls, and for this they charge 4s. per foot. There are, con sequently, very few stalls, and no dancing- booths nor swings, the objects of amusement bring machines fur measuring and weighing people, a few targets to shoot at with nuts, and a trump e ry p ee psh ow or two. During the day the crowd was, however, very great. Several of the licensed victuallers, and other inhabitants of Smith field, have drawn up and signed a protest against the right of the City authorities to receive the rents fur the fronts of their houses. NEW C ONVENT IN L ONDON .—F or th e fi rst time „ since the Reformation, the order of the sisters of charity has been established in the metropolis. Eight nuns and one novice from the nunnery in Baggot-street, Dublin, have just arrived here, under the patronage of the Right Rev. Dr. Griffiths, Roman Catholic Archbishop of London, and the Roman Catholic nobility. They have temporarily taken up their residence at No. 32, C/itep- Square. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vitbltr eptnton. " Who runs may rcad." rortzzGza . . On Sunday evening their Majesties the King and Queen of the French received the Duke de Trevise, the Count de Nt 6, and General Baudrand. The colours taken at Mogadore by the Prince de I Joinville were on Monday deposited with great cere mony at the Hotel des Invalides. In the absence of the Governor they were placed in the hands of Lieutenant- General Baron Petit, the Commandant, by Colonel Dumas, the King's Aide-de-Camp, and Captain Bouet, who had been charged to bring them to France by the young Admiral. All th e I nva lid es were d rawn up i n divisions and under arms to witness the ceremony. The colours, six in number, were then carried by non-com missioned Invalide officers, members of the Legion of Honour, in front of the ranks of the Invalides, who re ceived them with, great enthusiasm, the drums beating at the same time. The Bishop of Chalons-sur-Marne has issued a circu lar, directing all the clergy of his diocese to render, during one week, public thanks to Heaven for the glo rious successes obtained by the French in Africa, and prayers for the further protection of the Most High. We see by the provincial journals, that public rejoic ings have taken place in many parts of France in honour of the successes obtained by Marshal Bugeaud and the Prince de Joinville. M. Thiers has returned to Pails, from Dieppe, where he had been staying for about three weeks. The French Minister of the Interior has ordered a me dal to be struck at the Mint in commemoration of the battle of Isly. M.

Martinez de la Rosa has accepted the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Spanish Cabinet. Admiral Dupotet is appointed to make this year the general inspection of the crews of the line, and will, in about a fortnight, commence his operations atCherbourg. Admiral Turpin, who succeeds Admiral Leray, in the command of the French squadron in the Levant, arrived on the 11th ult. at the Pyrceas, and hoisted his flag on board the Minerve frigate. The mortal remains of Admiral Don Manuel Montes de Oca, who was shot in consequence of the events of October, have been, by order of the Spanish Govern ment, taken up from the spot in which they were depo sited at the time, and brought to Madrid, where a splen did interment is to be given them. A letter from Bayonne, of the 30th ult., states that in telligence had been received there from Madrid of the death of the Duke d'Oasuna, at the age of 37. The Mar quis de Terranova had set out for Madrid on hearing of the alarming state in which his brother was said to be, and had passed through Bayonne on the 28th. A Madrid letter of the 28th ult. states that the de mands of the Spanish Government upon Morocco, not having been complied with, orders have been given to put all the naval forces in motion, and, to cover the ex pense, treasury bills to a large amount have been drawn on Cadiz and Corunna. maw Aria) rolacz. At Worship-street Francis Crocker, who stood charged with having fraudulently obtained the sum of 15s. and a gold wedding-ring from a young servant girl, named Mary Judd, under the pretence of prosecuting, at her suit, a young man named Abel, fur breach of promise of marriage, was brought up before Mr. Broughton fur final examination and fully committed. At Guildhall Mr. Alderman Wood was occupied a considerable time in investigating a charge of stealing about 741. in gold, silver, and notes, from an Irish pig dealer. The charge was made against Wm. Franklin, a young man lodging at Hoxton, and also said to be a pig-dealer. After hearing evidence at some length the Magistrate said he had no doubt of the prisoner's guilt. The stolen notes were traced to his possession. The pri soner was committed for trial. Mr. Stephen Murphy, of Spencer-street, Clerkenwell, who is connected with a mercantile establishment in the City, was charged at the Clerkenwell Police-court with having caused the death of Samuel Rogers, by driving over him with his chaise on Sunday night last, near Highgate-hill, and also injuring several other persons, as detailed in our paper of Tuesday last. It was stated that a Coroner's inquest had been held upon the body of Rogers, and a verdict of " Accidental d ea th" was re corded by the jury, and that there was no evidence pro duced before the Coroner. The foreman of the jury questioned some of the injured persons, who agreed in opinion that the affair was quite accidental. The pri soner was then ordered to put in his own recognisances to appear to answer any charge that might be brought against him, which he did, and left the court with his friends. James Taylor, a bricklayer, in Crown-court, Ber mondsey, and Thomas Bacon, a tailor, in Freeman's court, Southwark, were brought before Mr. Cottingham, at Union-hall, charged with breaking into the house of William Leversedge, at Southgate, near Edmonton, and stealing a watch and 47/. in Bank of England notes and sovereigns. After a brief examination of the com plainant, the prisoners, who asserted their innocence, but entered into no explanation, were remanded. 00173117r-TILSBIONIALII3MI.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 2.—The treaty with the German Customs Union, which has just been concluded by Bel gium, cannot fail to be considered as an important fact. It gives to Germany two ports, of which it was abso lutely in want, for its transatlantic communication—the ports of Ostend and Antwerp ; it seems to us the means of disposing of the surplus of metallic produce. By the treaty of the Ist of September we are placed, with re spect to our iron, in the same position with regard to Germany, as we are placed by the convention of July 18, 1842, in respect to our thread and linens with regard to France. This twofold position is favourable to the Walloon provinces for their iron, and to the Flemish provinces for their linen. TUE HAGUE, SEPT. 2.—We hear that his Majesty the King is expected from Weimar to-morrow, or the next day. The Moniteur Beige of the 2€l, announces the conclu sion of a commercial treaty between Belgium and Prus sia and the other States of the Customs Union. The Commerce Beige says—The measure by which a high duty was imposed exclusively on our cast iron and iron articles is withdrawn. The Customs Union concede to Belgium a reduction of 50 per cent. on the duties on foreign cast-iron. This duty i s fixed from this day at 2f . 20 c. per 100 kilo grammes. Thus Belgian cast-iron will pay only lf. 25c.; besides this, a reduction of duty on iron articles is granted. The export duty on woollens at the frontiers of the Zollverein is reduced from 2 dolls. to 1 doll. The concessions made by Belgium are the re-pay- u 'd meats of the Scheid toll ; the maintaining in forceA the law of the 6th of June relating to Luxerabo_ ll l, the renewal of the regulations in favour of the G el s mines and silk manufactures ; the revocation °' , „ i g resolution on the exportation of bark, and the ore of the frontiers custom-house at Frankorchamp tbe ships of the Union are placed on an equality the Belgian ships with respect to all the privileges advantages of the navigation, The transit of goo' both ports is wholly free.

CLOSE OF THE SESSION. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, we are. commanded by her Majesty, in re lieving you from further attendance in Parliament, to express to you the warm acknowledgments of her Majesty for the zeal and assiduity with which you have applied yourselves to the dis charge of your public duties, during a laborious and protracted session. The result has been the completion of many legislative measures, calculated to improve the administration of the law, and to promote the public welfare. Her Majesty has given her cordial assent to the Bill which you presented to her Majesty for regulat ing the issue of Bank Notes, and for conferring cer tain privileges upon the Bank of England for a limited period. Her Majesty trusts that these measures will tend to place the pecuniary transactions of the country upon a sounder basis, without imposing any inconve nient restrictions on commercial credit or enterprise. We are directed to inform you that her Majesty continues to receive from her Allies and from all Foreign Powers assurances of their friendly disposition. Her Majesty has recently been engaged in dis cussions with the Government of the King of the French, on events calculated to interrupt the good understanding and friendly relations between this country and France. You will rejoice to learn that, by the spirit of justice and moderation which has animated the two Governments, this danger has been happily averted. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE or COMMONS, We are commanded by her Majesty to thank you for the readiness with which you voted the supplies for the service of the year. Her Majesty has observed, with the utmost satisfaction, that by the course to which you have steadily adhered in maintaining inviolate the public faith, and inspiring a just confidence in the stability of the national resources, you have been enabled to make a considerable reduction in the annual charge on account of the interest of the National Debt. Mr LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, • Her Majesty desires us to congratulate you on the improvement which has taken place in the condi tion of our manufactures and commerce, and on the prospect that, through the bounty of Divine Provi dence, we shall enjoy the blessing of an abundant harvest. Her Majesty rejoices in the belief that on your return to your several districts you will find gene rally prevailing throughout the country a spirit of loyalty and cheerful obedience to the law. Her Majesty is confident that these dispositions, so important to the peaceful development of our resources, and to our national strength, will b e confirmed and encouraged by your presence and example. We are commanded by her Majesty to assure you that when you shall be called upon to resume the discharge of your Parliamentary functions, you may place entire reliance on the cordial co-operation of her Majesty in your endeavours to improve the social condition, and to promote the happiness and content ment of her people. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—Observing your remarks in The Sun of last evening, upon the judicial distinction observed at Gravesend between the rich and the poor, I cannot withhold my expressions of thankfulness that the London press has at length condescended to notice the vagaries of the petty Midases of this place—it is, indeed, true that the poor are most unfairly treated in this town, and as you have so ably exposed the donkey driver mode of justice with that of the nice "young gentleman," I trust you will allow me a short space in your valuable paper to show how much the defence less poor of this place are induced to respect even• handed justice. There are commissioners of the town for prevent ing nuisances, and for licensing coaches, flys, vans, horses, donkeys, &c. The majority of the commis sioners are Dissenters, and consequently are horror struck at the idea of Sunday tra ve lli ng; accor di ng l y they notified that no licenses should b e g i ven t o per sons who would not abstain from wor ki ng on th e Sunday. Now there is an imm ense d eman d f or t hi s species of travelling on a Sunday, and especially at Gravesend, and consequently the whole host of stable up at this e x treme ab fl resolvedy-m en t reared hey would not stand it, but s k n e r e d p i e t r 3 s r, a a n n d d with purse and time would resist it. The conse quence was, the mayor and his associates succumbed, and hackney-men, horse-drivers, and van-men, and the whole of the horse and carriage tribe were licensed to work on the Sunday, and do, indeed, on that day labour most hard and fast, as every citizen who has been at Gravesend can attest—but the poor donkey-drivers were a distinct class ; they could not afford to give his worship a junketting on Saint Monday for nothing—they were not members of the respectable united fly, van, and buss club ; they had no money to defend themselves a ga i ns t the public purse of the commissioners, and s o th e magn animous mayor and his conscientious • coadjutors refused to 1 license these poor creatures, eteept for the six week days, and have fined or imprisoned those who have been tempted to travel on a Sunday, in imitation of the comparatively wealthy van - men ! I s not thi s , Sir, one law for the rich and ano th er f or t h e poor ? But though this is bad enough, will it be believed that the greater number of these commissioners deal and trade most extensively on a Sunday, as carriers per steam-packets, or as butchers, &c., and that his worship the m ayor has men actually stationed during the whole Sabbath (not even excepting the hours of Divine service) on the pier, for coll ec ti ng t o ll s to pay himself or others interest, large interest, on moneys advanced on the speculation that the citizens of London will travel to Gravesend on Sundays, as well as on other days, for health and recreation. AN INHABITANT OF GRAVESEND. We have elsewhere adverted to the signal triumph which Mr. O'Connell and the other State prisoners yes terday achieved over their Ministerial prosecutors. We also beg to refer to the speeches of the three Noble and Learned Lords, who voted for a reversal of the judg ment of the court below. The speeches of Lords Cot tenham and Campbell are severally worthy of perusal; but we would invite especial attention to the speech of Lord Denman. It is a bold, clear, luminous exposition of the great principles of constitution a l law.

Th e h orse reared an d strugg l e d un til it broke the phaeton in half ; and after it had galloped off be had an opportunity of going to the assistance of the deceased and the other persons. Deceased he found quite insensible, and bleeding profusely from a cut on the head. He had him taken into his house, and attended by a surgeon. There were four persons then lying in front of his house, viz., Mr. Murphy, the owner of the horse and chaise; Mr. and Mrs. Bynel], the uncle and aunt, and Rebecca Meade, one of the cousins, of the deceased. The uncle and aunt were still lying in the house, unable to move away in consequence of the injuries they had received. Deceased soon died. In reply to a question from the coroner, Mr. Murphy stated that no one saw the acci dent, and that there was no breeching on the horse. Mr. Thomas Duckworth, of Finchley, said that Mr. Murphy dined with him on Sunday, and left him quite sober about eight o'clock. The mare was free from vice, and Mr. Murphy was in the habit of driving it. Mr. Murphy having been cautioned not to say anything to criminate himself, said, that after leaving Mr. Duckworth be went on quietly until he reached the Highgate-gate, when the mare shied at something in the road, and galloped on furiously. He was soon thrown out, and , he jury became , insen siblel from the effects of the concu ssion. in formed the coroner that the road was dangerous at the spot where the accident happened. The in j ured p ersons must have been walking in the road when the horse rushed along, and the footpath being two feet high they could not get on it before the horse ran against them. It would have been almost impossible for them to escape. The jury, after an hour's consultation, returned a verdict of " Accidental death." Mr. Murphy gave 5/. to the deceased's widow, and promised to make her a present of a further sum. He was removed in custody. vit 1 , 1 .401 Att e that ,401 Bi t Cdr,
