As was to have been anticipated, an immense number of people sat down to dinner, amounting, we understand, to upwards of seven hundred and fifty. The speeches were all of a most earnes t and impassioned character, but Mr. O'CoN lotLL's was of course the great speech of the evening, and was interrupted by such repeated bursts of en thusiastic cheering, that the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman was more than once compelled to entreat that his hearers would be a little more sparin g of their ac clamations. The burden of his song was the imperative necessity of persevering in the strenuous agitation of the Repeal question. There should be no pause —no vacillation--no halting in the great work of achieving national independence ; on the contrary, exertion should be doubled, for circumstances were more favourable than ever to the cause. As regards a Federal Parliament, Mr. O'ComNELL stated that he was by no means disinclined to this experiment, though he infinitely preferred unqualified Repeal. We w s s can with difficulty believe him sincere in his approval t it4to scheme of F e d era li sm, for surely he must know that' ;such a House of Commons could never work weil,\ if at all ! Limited in its sphere of action, it Ito* be constantly haunted by petty jealousies and distrusts of the Imperial Senate , would never Ceitie m ita ondeuours to restore legislation to the state in which it was previous to the union. Of popular influence it would have little or none, for the people, finding how very circumscribed were its powers, would soon learn to look on it with indiffer ence, if not contempt, as a mere emasculated Parlia ment. Possibly, however, Mr. O'Cosow.L regards Federalism as a mere stepping-stone to further Re peal, and if so, his approval of the scheme is at once accounted for. Alluding to the apprehensions ex pressed by many Irishmen that property would not be safe in the event of a restoration of the domestic Legislature, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman ob served :—" I will now come to another impediment in the way of Repeal—namely, the supposed confisca tion of property. I say that property is not safe unless there is a Repeal of the Union ; and it ought not to be safe when six millions of Irish money are spent out of the country. But, on the other side, if Repeal were obtained, property would be perfectly secure ; therefore it is that men of property should be actively engaged in the struggle ; and let me remind them, that an opportunity once lost, can seldom be regained." We should be glad to see the arguments by which Mr. O'Comitz supports his statement, that property would be safe ifßepeal were carried. To our thinking, it would be just the reverse. Such a revo lutionary ferment as the restoration of an Irish House of Commons would engender, would almost, as a matter of necessity, be fatal to every species of property. The popular mind of Ireland would be so heated, the passions wound up to such a height, that all considerations of common sense, justice, and right feeling would be lost sight of. The wedge of anarchy once inserted, would be sure to be soon driven home, and the men of substance and sagacity—the leaders in fact of the Repeal agitation—the instant they attempted to put a drag•chain on the popular movement, would be overwhelmed by its pressure, and deprived at once of all their former moral influence. He who talked the loudest, and promised the most to the inflammable masses, would be seen to be the favourite in the Irish House of Commons ; and to his professions the people would greedily listen, while they would turn a deaf ear to the more staid, and equitable, and prudent counsels of their soberer advisers. Ultimately, as is the case in all great revolutionary changes, affairs would right themselves, and common sense resume her old ascendancy, but how much crime, and suffer ing, and humiliation must be endured ere this desir. able consummation would be effected I Morocco. The treaty itself, which has not yet been published in extenso, was received by the French Go vernment the day before : " The Government has received dispatches containing the terms of the treaty concluded with Morocco. The text of this treaty will be published. In the meantime, we hasten to apprise our readers of what wehare learned. The most important clause is that which regards Abd el-Kader. The Emir is outlawed. The Moors, conse quently, undertake to pursue him, with arms i n th e i r hands, throughout their territory, until he shell have either been expelled the territory, or they shall hare laid hold of his person. If the Emir fall into their hands, they engage to confine him in one of the towns situate on the western coast of the empire, until the two Governments shall have come to an under standing to take measures to guarantee the tran quillity of Algeria against his attacks. This is the essential article of the treaty. Another article stipu lates that an exemplary chastisement shall be inflicted on the Moorish chiefs who have violated the peace and invaded our territory. The Emperor engages to pre vent for the future any assemblage' of troops on our frontier, and not to retain more than 2,000 men under the command of the Caid of Ouchda, the nearest town to our frontiers, and which we occupied after the battle of Isly. The frontiers are to be marked out as they were during the domination of the Turks in Algeria. This question of frontier was, it may be recollected, the origin or the pretext for the attack of the Moors. The treaty acknowledges our rights, and decides in our favour. Fresh negotiations will take place for the purpose of com pleting and consolidating the ancient treaties which re gulate our political and commercial relations with Mo rocco. In the mean time these ancient treaties are main tained, and France will enjoy, in every respect, the same privileges as the most favoured nation. " With regard to the manner in which the negotia tions were conducted, the Debats adds : " The Moors were anxious to hasten the settlement of peace, and the Emperor's Plenipotentiary looked with impatience for the arrival of the Prince de Joinville at Tangiers. As soon as the Suffren appeared in the road stead, the governor of the town went on board, and re newed, in the name of the Emperor, a desire for peace. Our terms were immediately made known to the Pacha, with a signification that they must be refused or accepted without discussion. The Pacha at once signed them, the Consul's flag was again raised, and the town saluted it with twenty-one guns. There were, therefore, no nego tiations properly speaking. We have dictated peace without allowing the conditions to be discussed. The Moors submitted. The war was conducted with energy, the peace was concluded gloriously, and those people will remember at one and the same time the strength and the magnanimity of France. We rejoice with all good citizens in results so glorious and so honourable. The simple narrative that we have given, showing events as they have passed, and the correct analysis of the prin cipal stipulations of the treaty, will suffice as an answer to all that has, with so much bad faith, been already put forth, and may hereafter be urged upon this subject." A Royal Ordonnance, dated the 18th, is published in the Moniteur, by which his MAJESTY confers upon Marshal BUGEAUD the title of Duke of Ismr, and another Royal Ordonnance of the same date, by which the KING, upon the report of the Minister of the Ma rine, has promoted his Royal Highness the Prince de JolriviLLE to the rank of Vice-Admiral. In the great national Museum at Versailles, two compartments, which are yet empty, but which M. HORACE VERNET has been deputed to fill, have already inscribed over them the words "Isly," " Tangiers," " Mogadore." The Journal des Debats has a column devoted to the contradiction of the statement of a Contemporary as to a treaty between our Government and certain Powers, for the purpose of securing to England a passage through Egypt, and other advantages. The Debats says :—" We believe we can venture to affirm that the English Ministry have disavowed, in the most formal manner, the existence of any project of that nature, and have declared that the note pub li-hed by the English journal in a shape apparently official is quite unfounded. The Comtitutionnel, on mentioning the arrival_of a commissioner from Hayti, to solicit from the French Government a delay of five years in the payment of the indemnity, alludes to a report that the Haytian Government offers an inducement to give some new commercial advantages to France, and in particular to reduce the duties on French wines. The Presse states, that— " It is a justice which must be rendered to the Mi nister of Finance, that when the Chambers express a wish he takes it into serious consideration, with a strong desire to give effect to it. We announced yesterday that the Minister was taking measures to secure the success of the plan for reducing the interest on the Five per Cents. ; we are authorised to add that the situation of the savings' banks is at this moment the object of his meditations. The question he wishes to resolve is in what manner to diminish the danger which results from an accumulation of deposits payable at night. We de sire more than we expect, that the Minister will find a solution in the creation of railroad bonds payable to bearer, producing 3f. 65c. per cent. per annum, or Ic. per day.' The Revue de Paris, however, affirms with cer tainty that this project of a reduction is quite un founded; if the Alinister of Finances have thought for a moment of a reduction into Four per Cents., he now thinks no more of it. The Crown would not sanction any project of that nature. It is stated by the Revue de Paris that the Emperor of Mogocco, when he became aware of the extent of his losses, was so anxious for peace that he charged an Italian renegade, named ALERIZI, who had always recommended recourse to violence, to wait on the Governor of Tangiers, and order him torepair without delay on board the Admiral's ship, and open new ne gotiations, threatening him, in case of failure, with death, by being walled in alive. Negotiations were immediately opened with the Prince DI JOIN YILLE. According to the reports in circulation, the Prince had taken upon himself to demand a compensation for the expenses of the war before the arrival of the instructions forwarded to Messrs. DE GLUCKSDER‘ and Ishoit, which enjoined them to insist on that point. The Florence Correspondent of the Revue de Paris writes that : " The Grand Duke of Tuscany is preparing to leave for Trieste, where he is to meet the Emperor of Austria, who has repaired to that city, with some members of his family and Prince Metternich, for the purpose of sea bathing. It is said that the two Sovereigns will thence proceed to Milan, to be present at the sittings of the Scientific Congress, and impart, by their presence an additional importance to that national solemnity. The journey of the Grand Duke may, however, be connected with a project, of which Austria is secretly pursuing the execution—the establishment of an Italian Customs' Union. Report states that a proposition to that effect is to be made at , the Congress of Milan. By the posses sion of the Lombardo. Venetian kingdom, Austria is, after Naples, the first Power in Italy, and would, con rsequently, derive the principal advantages from the treaty. But an Italian Customs' Union, comprising Lombardy, should necessarily assume a greater exten sion, and become an Austro-Italian union, the effect of which would be, to draw closer the ties already existing between Italy and Austria. The Sovereigns of Tus cany, Modena, Parma, and Lucca, will no doubt yield, on account of their family connections ; Rome can have no other will than that of Austria ; and Sardinia would find an advantage in a treaty that would restore the trade of Genoa. Naples alone, with her separate interests and her prohibitive system, refuses to join in the negotiation." THE BOURSE--TRuesnax, ,SEAT. 19. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

As the law at present stands, if any two medical men choose to sign a certificate, stating that in their opinion a person is insane, the keeper of an asylum is obliged to receive such person into his custody, how convinced soever he may be of the sanity of the alleged lunatic. As a proof of the necessity of some alteration of the law in this re spect, we refer our readers to a case which came before Mr. Baounnro7 on Saturday at the Worship street Police-court: Sergeant FLYNN, of the N divi sion of the metropolitan police, appeared before the magistrate to make arrangements for the maintenance of his wife, whom he had caused to be incarcerated in a lunatic asylum at Bethnal-green, although she was perfectly sane. The following is the evidence of the medical attendant of the asylum in which the poor creature was confined : " Mr. Phillips, who has been many years the principal medical officer of the asylum, stated that during several months that Ellen Flynn had been confined there no symptoms of insanity had been discoverable in her, and, in fact, she was quite sane. She had been received there upon a medical certificate, signed, as the law re quired, by two medical men." The woman herself answered with great propriety a variety of questions put to her by the magistrate, and said that she had at one time been ill, and there had been unhappy differences between het and her husband, but she had never been mad, although she had been spirited away and shut up as a mad woman. We have small reason to boast of ours being the land of liberty, if persons can be spirited away, and shut up as mad in this manner. That the members of the medical profession, as a body, are most honour able and high-minded, we freely admit; but it cannot be denied that there are unworthy members of that body who would, " for a consideration," abuse this tremendous power with which the law has entrusted them ; or that there are ignorant and careless mem bers of that body who might, through want of know ledge, or want of caution, sign a certificate condemn ing a sane person to incarceration for life among lunatics—a punishment more horrible than any our legislators have devised for the most flagrant crimes. But granting, for th• sake of argument, that it is impossible to find, in the United Kingdom, two dis honourable, or ignorant, or careless medical practi tioners, still, what precaution has been taken against the commission of forgery? What is easier for a person, desirous of procuring the incarceration of another as a lunatic, than to forge the names of two medical men to a certificate, and on the authority of that forged certificate, to demand that the victim shall be received into an asylum ? It is a dangerous and a fearful thing to have this tremendous power entrusted to any two individuals, however talented, or however honour. able, they may be. No man should be deprived of his liberty except by the ♦erdict of a jury. In cases of death of the body, a coroner's jury is assem- Wed to inquire into the circumstances by which that death was occasioned. Let the same course be pur sued in cases of death of the mind ; and make it a crime, to be punished with the greatest severity, in any keeper of an asylum to receive into his custody any alleged lunatic without a warrant from the coroner, founded upon the verdict of a jury, authorising such person's detention. Our law will not suffer any alleged lunatic to be deprived of control over his property without a preli minary inquiry before a jury, but while there is no property in the case, he may be deprived of his per sonal liberty upon the mere certificate of two medical men. The necessity of public inquiry before a jury in every case of alleged insanity is curiously exempli fied in the case of Mr. THOMAS TELFORD CAMPBELL, which is likewise reported in our paper of this day. This gentleman, the son of the poet, had, it seems, been an inmate for fourteen years of Dr. ALLEN'S lunatic asylum at High Beach, having been originally re ceived there upon the usual medical certificate. In consequence of the death of Mr. CAMPBELL'S father, the trustees, under the will of a relative, from whom the alleged lunatic derived an annuity, considered it would be unsafe to continue the payment of that annuity to any one on behalf of Mr. CAMPBELL without instituting some inquiry. A Commission was con sequently issued, an investigation took place, and the jury returned, as their verdict, that Mr. THOMAS TEL FORD CAMPBELL was of sound mind. As long as the present state of the law continues, the personal liberty of every one is in danger. It is the bounden duty of the Government to devise some remedy for a grievance so intolerable and so monstrous as this. Madrid journals and letters hare arrived to the 13th inst. It appeared to hare been decided on tha there should be no alteration in the Ministry until after the meeting of the Cortes. Such was the advice of M. MARTINEZ DZ LA ROSA. The Globo, the Ministerial organ, announces the departure of additional troops for Navarre, and among them are the infantry regiment of Castile and the cavalry regiment of Santiago. "We do not believe (adds that print) that the Carlists are very formid able, whether they present themselves with or with out arms ; but we fear their attempts will excite the public mind, and fortify other enemies of our institu tions and public order." THE GREAT Wzr.L CASE.—We have been waited on by Messrs. Richards and Walker, the solicitors of the executors of the late Mr. James Wood, of Gloucester, in relation to a paragraph which appeared in The Sun of Monday last. They deny that any com promise has been entered into by the executors with the Corporation of Gloucester, and state that the appeal to the House of Lords is still proceeding, and will be heard - before their Lordships as speedily as the rules and practice of the House will allow ; and they state that they are ignorant of the fact that any further will or testamentary paper has been found, and they express their belief that any report to the contrary is without foundation. " The sentinels placed on all the avenues of the principal streets (says the Clamor Public()) have each by them another ,soldier, armed with a bayonet and a musket, who quits them neither night nor day.

NOTICE TO MARINERS. LIGHTS AT SPOTSBJERB, AND OFF FAL STERBO. Admiralty, September 20, 1844. Sir,—l am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to transmit to you the accompanying copy of a notice received from her Majesty's Consul at Elsinore, respecting a light at Spotsbjerb, and also one respecting a light-ship off the reef of }'alsterbo. I am, Sir, your obedient servant. (Signed) JOHN BARROW. Wm. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's. (coPy.) LIGHT AT SPOTSBJERB, ENTRANCE TO THE ISEFJORD. The fishermen at Lyenas, and in the neighbourhood, shall be permitted, until further notice, to keep a lamp burning on Spotsbjerb, at the entrance to the Isefjord, from the Ist September to the Ist November. This light, which will be visible at sea in the direction from E.N.E. to W.S.W., at a distance of about two leagues, will be shown for the first time on the Ist September of this year, and will be kept burning within the aforesaid time, for the same length of time as the other lights in the kingdom. General Board of Customs and Trade, Aug. 30, 1844. (corr.) LIGHT-SHIP OFF FALSTERBO REEF. The Royal Marine Department gives notice, and makes known to mariners, agreeably to their notice of the 7th of July last year, that the light-ship therein mentioned will be ready for taking her berth on Fals terbo Reef at the end of this, or the beginning of next, month. The light-ship has two masts, its sides are painted red ; the two letters F S very l arge , an d pa i nted white, either ; a r e d fl ag i s h o i sted on ° night two li g ht s w ill b e s h own which the will sioaladY atcd placed that th e one cannot easily con ceal the other, so that when th e vessel is seen from a side, both lights will be distinctly visible, or when seen from ahead or from astern, the one light will be seen close above the other. The highest lamp is on the foretop. These lights will be kept burning from the middle of September to the Ist December (when the light-ship will be removed), for the same length of time each night as is prescribed for the rest of the S we di s h li g h ts . The light-ship will be moored in 6f fathoms water, a good minute from the furthermost point of Falsterbo Beef (vide Admiral Klint's sea chart), f rom w h ence the light house on Falsterbo will bear N.E. by the compass at six minutes distance, and when the light on Stern's Klint in Zealand will show Itself W.N.W. I W. by compass. The light-ship will also be pr ov id e d with a large bell, which will be rung in thick and foggy weather, in order to warn the shipping near. The lights are fixed about fifty feet above the level of the sea, and will therefore be visible is clear weather at a distance of more than two German miles. Shipmasters wanting a pilot through the Flint Channel to Alaimo!, or to the Grounds, where Danish pilots attend, can obtain one from the light-ship, on board of which five pilots will be stationed for that purpose, who will be on the watch, day and night, for signals. To this end the ligh . t-ship will be so moored that the largest ship may, without danger, sail round it and take in a pilot, and the pilot-jack will be hoisted so long as there shall be a pilot disposable on board, but will be re moved whenever all the pilots are absent. Unless the contrary be known, and unless prevented by the ice, the light-ship will resume her station on the same point of the Rvef on the 15th of March next. Stockholm t August 13, 1844. Orders have been received on board the royal steam-yacht Victoria and Albert to hare everything ready for her Majesty s e m b arkation on Monday the 30th inst., on which day h er M a j esty has signified her intention of leaving Scotland on her return voyage. The yacht is still lying in the river Tay off D un d ee , an d it i s understood that her Majesty will embark at the same place where she landed, and that the royal party will leave Blair Athol on Monday morning, immediatly after breakfast, and arrive in Dundee between three and four o'clock, whence they will proceed at once on board the yacht. By this arrangement h er M a j esty w i ll arr i ve at Woolwich, near m id-day on Wednesday. The voyage from the river to Dundee occupied upwards of forty-two hours, and, calculating that it will take the same time to return, should her Majesty embark at Dundee at four o'clock on Monday, the 30th inst., the yacht will reach Woolwich on Wednesday, October 2, about ten o'clock. —Observer. THE NAPOLEON MUSEUM.—This most interesting and valuable exhibition closes at the end of this week, and we hope t o h ave an opportunity of visiting it once more before its final close. As illustrative of the annals of one of the most stirring periods in the history of the world, the contents of this museum are invaluable, whil e to the mere lov er o f articles of vertu, a visit to the Napo leon Museum is one of the greatest treats that can be offered to him. VAUXHALL GARDENS.—This once celebrated and fashionable place of entertainment will open this evening in all its pristine splendour, recalling back those festive nights which caused the "royal property" to be celebrated throughout Europe. The amusements will be equal to those presented in the palmy days when the gardens were at their zenith. To meet the taste of the public, an endless variety of entertainments will be pre sented, while the charge of admission will enable the "million" to participate in those delightful recreations which for y ears past has only been a matter of history. The " note of preparation" has been sounding night and day during the past week, the several artistes having been actively engaged in their various departments. Among other popular favourites engaged are Ransford, W. H. Williams, G. Robinson, Miss Agnes Taylor, Tom Matthews (the celebrated clown, the Grimaldi of the day), Eller (the harlequin) and a splendid corps de ballet from her Majesty's Theatre, under the direction of Mr. T. W. Beckett. The ballet of "La Vivandiere," and a pantomimic sketch, are, among other novelties, announced. The musical arrangements, under the direction of Mr. G. Robinson, who obtained such celebrity for so many seasons, by singing that popular air, " My pretty Jane," are most complete, and the famous brass band of Mr. W. Blight is engaged. The illuminations will be on an extraordinary scale of splendour ; and the fireworks. by that unrivalled pyrotechnist, Darby, will surpass any display ever witnessed even at Vauxhall. The inhabitants of the village of Great Eastern were on Thursday last gratified with a rural treat, pro vided by the beneficence of the Right Hon. Viscountess Maynard. Eight hundred cottagers partook of the bountiful provision made for them, which included four rounds of beef, weighing together 3001bs. ; 4001bs. of plum-cake, 252 quartern loaves, 201bs. of fresh b u tt er , 2i bar re l s o f strong beer, and the usual et cetera:. The day was passed in the most agreeable manner —rustic sports giving a zest to the entertainments of the table. Han MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE CITY.—We un derstand that a letter has been received by the Lord Mayor from Sir James Graham, intimating her Ma jesty's gracious intention, along with the Prince Consort, of honouring the City with a visit on the occasion of the opening of the Royal Exchange. The banquet it was originally intended should take place in the Guildhall, but her Majesty has intimated a desire that it should be in the Royal Exchange, the open area within which will be covered for the occasion.—Post. ACCIDENTAL DEATH.—Friday evening, about seven o'clock, an old man, whose name we could not learn, met his death, under the following awful circumstances, in Webber -street, Waterloo-road:—lt appears that he was passing through the above street, and was in the act of tendering a child some fruit, when his foot slipped off the kerb, and he fell into the road, coming in contact with a brewer's dray, and before he could be extricated the wheels passed over his body. He was immediately picked up and conveyed to a neighbouring surgeon, but with no effect, as he was dead. The body was ultimately removed to the dead-house of St. John's. THE MILITIA.---A ballot will take place this autumn to complete the English and Scotch militias, for which purpose it is expected an Order in Councill will forth with be issued. DEATH ore FEMALIII OVUM EATER.—Fridayeven ing Mr. Payne resumed an inquiry, commenced on the previous day, at Guy's Hospital, on Charlotte Williams, aged fifty, who it was believed died from taking opium. It appeared by the evidence of witnesses that the de ceased was ill-used, and in order to drown her cares and banish the thoughts of the cruel treatment she received, she abandoned herself to a habit of eating opium. Oa Monday morning last she was found by her landlady in bed vomiting, but was not considered in any danger until the following afternoon, when, being perfectly in sensible, she was carr i ed to the hospital. Deceased died there the sam e day, but the house-surgeon was unable to account for d eath, and the inquest was sdjourned for a post mortem exam i nation. The inquiry was resumed last evening, when Mr. Kent, the house-surgeon, said that he had made a post modem examination of the body. It was evident that the cause of death was apoplexy, from the bursting of a blood-vessel. The opium she was in the habit of taking might have been the exciting cause of the rupture. Emma Murphy said that on Tuesday morning, while deceased was lying insensible, a girl asked her husband how she was, when he said, " Oh, she's all right ; she'll be dead before the morning." Verdict —Natural death. SMALL VESSELS. ---An order of her Majesty in council, published in the Gazette of Friday, exempts all vessels, of less burthen than fifteen tons from payment of tolls to the corporation of Trinity House of Deptford Stroud.

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND pubitt Optitton. " Who runs may read" PORLION. LAW AND POLZC3. The case of Sparks v. Austin was tried in the Secon daries Court. The plaintiff is an attorney's clerk, and the defendant was formerly the landlord of the St. George's Tavern, Lambeth-road. The action was brought to recover the aim of 41. 18s., due by the defendant to the plaintiff. The defendant first pleaded never indebted, and, secondly, a set off. The jury found a verdict for the defendant. The sittings at the Central Criminal Court for the present session concluded on Friday. The Court ad journed to the 21st October. William Berry, a lad, was committed from Guildhall, by Mr. Alderman Hughes, charged with stealing a bundle of apparel, value 31., which he was entrusted to carry from the factory of Mr. Lyons, 156, High Holborn, to the residence of Mrs. Lyons's father, in Great Alie street. At Queen-square, John W a tt s , a man i n the employ of Mr. James Evans, 0120, Lower Sloane-street, baker, was charged with having plundered his master to a very considerable extent.

At Gravesend Mr. James Gould, fruiterer, Windmill street, was charged with h av i ng, on Sunday, the 15th instant, exercised his ordinary calling in his shop, thereby incurring under the statute of the 29th Charles IL, a penalty of 51. The defendant stated that he had only done what every fruiterer in London was permitted to do without molestation, viz., partly opened his shop window and sold fruit on the Sunday after one o'clock. He was fined 6s. 6d. Mr. Oakes in giving judgment made the following excuse for the conduct of the magis trates in undertaking a crusade against Sunday trading. He said that there was such a clamour raised by certain parties against the practice of Sunday trading in the town, that the magistrates were, in a measure, enforced to take cognizance of it in every shape in which it was brought before them. A respectably attired young man, named Alfred Ed wards, described as a pickle-manufacturer, in Haber dasher-place, Hoxton, was remanded from Worship street, charged with having administered a quantity of poison to a young woman named Jane Gregory, and thereby caused her death. At Woolwich, John Stroud, a man of colour, and native of St. Helena, was charged with being found asleeF in a stable belonging to the Red Lion, Shooter's-hill, also on suspicion of having committed felony. The pri soner, who was stated to be the dread of the neighbour hood, was remanded. Mary Harding, and her daughter, Louisa Harding, were remanded from Hammersmith on a charge of having pawned some silver spoons, stolen from the house of Mr. E. H. Kent, the Prince of Wales, Church-street, Kensington. At the Thames Police-court a respectable woman named Landell, residing in Chatham-place, Walworth, and whose husband is foreman to Horton and Hart, the hop-factors, in Southwark, applied to Mr. Ballantine for a warrant against Captain Spratley, the master of the Cyrus, for leaving her eon behind at Celebes, or Macassar, an island in the Indian Ocean, four years ago. The Magistrate directed Inspector Maddox to make im mediate inquiry into the circumstances of the case.

The Asmodee steam-frigate has received orders to be in readiness to proceed to Tunis, and the Rubis steamer to be prepared to leave for Constantinople. The Minister of Public Works has given notice that on the sth of next month he will open and decide upon the tenders for the laying down the rails, and forming the lines from Orleans to B or d eaux and Orleans to Vierzon. A letter from Cadis of the 11th, in the Debats, states that the Warspite has been ordered to quit Gibraltar and the coast of Morocco, and to proceed to the Levant. The Augsburg Gazette has the following from Alex andria, dated the 30th ult. :—" Th e Vi ceroy h as d eclared to the French Consul that he is about to undertake an expedition against the Abyssinians, who have invaded the Semmara, where they have burned several villages, killed many of the inhabitants, and made slaves of others. He added, however, that his views were not those of conquest. He made this communication to the French Consul, because France pretends to exercise a protec torate over Abyssinia." The Universal Gazette of Leipsio gives an extract of a letter, received from two Saxon merchants, who set out some months back for China. It says—" The Chinese prefer Saxon cloths even to English ones. The English manufacturers have sent out such a quantity of cloth that it is cheaper than in England. In a year China will be a commercial market of little importance for Bri tish commerce, for already the goods sent exceed con sumption. The exportation of Chinese goods is not ex tensive, except in tea. The Chinese, in general, export only refuse silks, keeping to themselves those of first quality." The Hanover Gazette of the 14th publishes the treaty of commerce and navigation entered into with England in July last. It is preceded by a notification that, on the exchange of the ratifications, it was agreed that the exist ing Customs tariff of Brunshan shall remain in force, but that the articles of British manufacture interdicted in the article of the treaty, will only pay from the Ist October, when brought up the Elbe i n B rit i s h vesse l s, the duties fixed by article 6 ; and from that date British vessels and their cargoes will pay no other duty than that fixed by this tariff: A letter from Hamburgb, of the 13th, in the Cologne Gazette, says :—" The Council of Burghers has been en• gaged to-day in discussing the treaty of navigation be tween the free towns of Hambergh, Lubeck, and Blemen, and the kingdom of Sardinia, concluded at Paris on the 18th July last, M. Rumpf being the representative of the free towns, and the Marquis de Brignole Sales of Sar dinia. The treaty is founded on the principle of the most complete reciprocity. with the sole exception of the coast ing trade, which each of the contracting parties reserves to itself exclusively. The treaty is comprised in ten articles. No change is to be made in any of them, unless they are extended to the ships of all other nations. so that if any one of the contracting parties grants any advantage to any other nation whatever, the same ad vantage may be claimed by the other contracting parties. The treaty is to remain in force for ten years from the day of its ratification, and, further, for twelve months after either of the parties has given official notice to the other of its intention not to continue the treaty. This treaty has been ratified, but the treaties for the naviga tion of the Elbe have been rejected a third time by a majority of three dioceses against two. There were 328 voters, of whom 134 voted for the ratification, and 194 against it. The grand deputation, which is finally to decide upon the fate of the treaties for the navigation of the Elbe, was immediately appointed." setxscazot.Anslauira. /01 The North Lancashire Election took place 011 , 00 i, Mr. Cli ft en, the Conservative, was returned wit° position.
