ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GA RDENS. EXTRAORDINARY AND NOVEL ATTRACTIONS. This Week, being the Anniversary of the Great Fire of London, 1666, Mr. Southby has arranged to give extraordinary effects to this matchless representation, and introduce a display of the admired wa , er. jets de feux, with other devices, to form a Gil aND PYROTECHNIC DISPLAY. On MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, and TA URSDAY. throughout tht Season, the Gardens will open with the following attractive Novelties : VIE PICTURESQUE GROUNDS—FEEDING OF THE ANIMALS—UNRIVALLED MENAGERIE. MODELS of VENICE and LONDON in the OLDEN TIME, Painted by Danson and Tend's. The sensation mused by this unrivalled production is beyond all Ikermer f> ecedent ; the artist, the amateur, the casual obse rver are all struck w i t h i ts extraordinay beauty and fidelity of delinea tion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific isplay 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.. elms Lake, to be fully appreciated. Beethoven's celebrated Battle Sinfonia , de,criptive o f an En saptment between the French and Englio ' Armies. 'The Evening PROMENADE CONCEKTS on Mon.lays, Tues days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays cont.ucted by Mr. Godfrey, are up-n a scale of more than usual excellence; nut ssords fail in doing justice to the awful representation of THE GREA T' FIRE 01. LONDON. Its fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same Lime so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic Art, rust delight it predominant over terror; and the Thousands who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit that .:cartbby, .he Unrivalled Pyrotechnist has achieved a matchless riuraph. The hardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect Mate, and combining so many and interesting features, are by far the most attractive lounge in or near the iretrooli , . Doors open at Nine—Feeding of the Animals at Half-past Four— Concert at Half-past Five.—Conflagration at Dusk, Admittance, lac gulling. A Correspondent in the Morning Herald, who dates from Exeter, states that he is credibly informed " that notices of objection to the registration of three hundred and twenty-four Conservatives have been served in one parish alone in that city, by the hired agents of the Anti-Corn-law League; that it is re ported that in Exeter altogether about a thousand notices have been thus served, the delivery of which was made last Sunday; and that the League have alio ,ent in claims as well as objections; and that it is believed that their money has been employed in pay ing up the rates of parties who were in arrear." Our Contemporary's Correspondent adds, as his deliberate opinion, that similar proceedings have taken place ;enerally throughout the country, as the Chairman observed at the last Covent-garden meeting that Com mittees for such purposes had been formed in a hun dred and forty places ; and winds up his budget of ;rievances by the following touching reflection : Surely it is time for all honest men to unite for the suppression of such an atrocious combination as that of the League, in whose hands the Reform Act may be made an engine of the most odious tyranny that, perhaps, England ever groaned under." Granting that what the Herald's Correspondent here states of the proceedings of the Anti-Corn-law League is true—and we most sincerely hope it is—then we say that the course they are adopting is not only justified, but imperatively called for, by circumstances. But were it not so, still it is not for a Tory to ob ject to their policy, for in paying attention to the register, they are only following the advice given to his party by Sir ROBERT PEEL--in fact, taking a leaf out of the Premier's own book. " Attend to the register," said the Right Hon. Baronet to the Con servatives in his most impressive manner, " for it is in the Registration Courts that the battle of the Con stitution must be fought." Well, the League follows this advice, looks sharply after the register, with a view to see that no improper persons are allowed to appear on it, and that those only shall vote who are authorised to give a vote. But this, it seems, is an act of " odious tyranny" on the part of the Anti- Corn-law League !If so, it is a tyranny recom mended by Sir ROBERT PEEL himself, and cannot, therefore, with any show of consistency, be con demned by a Conservative. Can that be an uncon stitutional act in a free-trader which, when resorted to by a monopolist, is an act of constitutional necessity? Can it be right in a Conservative to adopt the counsel of the Premier, and wrong in a Liberal to follow the suggestions of the same high authority ? Es there one law of right for this party, and mother for that? The bare supposition of such thing is a most preposterous absurdity. The truth is, the Tories.—or Conservatives as they prefer calling themselves are notoriously in tolerant of every species of interference but that which they themselves originate, and carry out into practice. When they interfere with the register, then dl is perfectly just and constitutional; but when the 'me-traders, following in their footsteps, presume to take the same liberty, then the act becomes one of odious tyranny," which all good men and good citizens are bound to visit with their severest repro bation ! However it may be with the Tories, the community at large will not understand these nice distinctions, but will give the Anti-Corn -law League credit for the just and patriotic spirit that prompts them in their endeavours to reform the register, and for the steady determination with which they follow up this important branch of their public duty. Abundant mischief has already been done by the Tory party in their vexatious interference with the register, and it is now high time that the League should step bodly forth to prevent the perpetration of further mischief, and open men's eyes to the real state of the case. We, therefore, earnestly conjure the members of this great national confederacy to per severe in their patriotic and every way constitutional purpose. We conjure them to watch the register with the most active vigilance, and to treat the clamour of the Tory faction with the cool, con temptuous indifference, to which such an interested outcry is entitled. "Attend to the register !" was the advice of Sir ROBERT PEEL to his party. "Attend to the register !" is our advice to the Anti Corn-law League. This is one of their chief instru ments of success. It has already answered well in the hands of the Tories, and in the hands of the free-traders it is calculated, if worked in a straight forward, energetic spirit, to be of inestimable benefi to the good cause. The very outcry of the mono polists is the best testimony to its efficiency ! EGYPTIAN HALL, PICCADILLY.

He is well paid for his scanty labour. He was promoted by the liberal party to his present position--he, in fact, owed his elevation to the politics of Mr. O ' Cormsu.-r—to the determined support of the Irish to the IVhig Government; yet he is lurking in some corner when he should be in the battle array, de fending the interests of his party. We fear the old Whigs are doomed to destruction. Many of them have become renegades. The most conspicuous of all we will not name, because it would be a work of supererogation. But, thank GOD, we have honest men among the modern Whigs. Lord DENMAN deserves the highest honour for his speech on the writ of error. Lord CAMPBELL has never swerved from his honourable character, and, at the conclusion of his speech, he said, in the true spirit of liberty, the appeal was not from the Irish to the English judges, but to that Chamber, in the exercise of one of its most important functions, which he hoped their Lordships would long exercise for the benefit of the country and the protection of its liberties. They have exer cised one of its most important functions, and to their honour, notwithstanding all the tricks of renegades, have done justice to Ireland. We believe there is no inhabitant of the United Empire that rejoices more at this happy result than our beloved QUEEN. Her affections towards Ireland are well known. From her infancy she has mingled with many of the people of that country; she knows that none welcomed her accession to the throne more than Mr. O'CONNELL, and that no subject has testified more loyalty to her person than the man who has been imprisoned unjustly for three months. Royalty has duties as well as rights. Her MAJESTY, it is said, is about to visit Scotland a second time. Why should she not now change her plan, and visit the sister island ? She would be welcome I by a generous, a kind, a forgiving, and a brave people, with enthusiasm ; and Mr. O'CoNNELL, the arch-conspirator, would be the first to hail with rapture her visit to a country that she loves so we 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. Amand, 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 slays together refused to sign any document. The Council was vir tually dissolved. Through a weakness too habitual to him, the Marshal has withdrawn his 'resignation ; but he has made his conditions, the principal terms of which are these—the recal of M. D'AUBIGNY 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 JOINVILLE, 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 are more pacific. Even the Siecle, which is occa sionally very 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 difficult, 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 firing 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, and 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 : " 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." 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 Scheid, had decided the Cabinet of Berlin, which takes a far greater interest in its provinces in Northern Prussia 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 Scheld, 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 Constitutionnel 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 long a stay there as he does each year at this residence. On 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 BONAPARTE had bequeathed 66,000 f. to his brother, JEROME, 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.

One of Wilson's omnibus drivers on the Holloway • road was charged with furious driving, and thereby en• dangering the lives of her Majesty's subjects. The number of the omnibus is 3,871. Police-constable, 175 N, deposed that on Sunday morning he saw the omnibus going from Holloway towards the City. When the prisoner reached the Blue coat Boy he began to lash his horses violently, and gal loped down the road at the top of their speed, in order to get before an omnibus in a d vance o f it. This, by dint of hard driving, he effected. The road was crowded at the time with persons going to Divine service, and th ey - were were running on to the pavement in order to avoid the vehicle. The witness, in answer to a question from the Magis trate, said this conduct had become habitual with the defendant.—He was fined 11., and costs. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Mr. William Cohn Smith, of No. 10, Victoria-grove, Kensington, barrister-at-law, was charged (as entered on the police-sheet) with being drunk and riotous, and assaulting the police. Police -sergeant John Wells, No. 185 of the C division, stated that between one and two o'clock this morning, is he was proceeding on duty through James-street, Haymarket, he saw the defendant in a very drunken state holding by some area railings. Two dirty, low prostitutes were with him ; they took him by the arms, and were endeavourinr , to get him away. One of them ieeing witness approach, called out, "Ellen, here's a b---y peeler coming." He then went up to the defendant, and acquainted him with the cha ' racter of the company he was in, on which the defendant said " You're a d—d, infernal, lying scoundrel—one of them is my wife." The witness, haying done what he thought to be his duty, to put the defendant on his guard against being robbed, was walk ing on, when he followed him, made use of grossly abusive language, and eventually assaulted him by taking him by the collar ; on which witness took him into custody. The defendant was proceeding to cross-examine the witness in a very loud and violent strain, when he was reproved by Mr. HARDWICK for his intemperate and unbecoming mode of conducting himself. The defendant said thathewasperfectly sober. Hewes, in fact, returning from a professional consultation. He was certainly speaking to two very young unfortunate prostitutes, who had accosted him, soliciting charity. He gave them a shilling. He had a serious charge of misconduct against the police, which he should instantly prefer in the proper quarter.

We have been agreeably disappointed —and every friend of Ireland will be agreeably disappointed—by the decisions of Lord DENMAN, Lord COTTENHAM, and Lord CAMPBELL, in the case of the QUEEN V. DANIEL O'CONNELL and others. These three law Peers decided the question. We foolishly thought— and many of the lay Peers were of the same opinion --that it was a question for the decision of the whole House. Even the LORD CHANCELLOR was impressed with the same conviction. He did not clear the House of the lay Peers when he put the question ; he evidently expected that they would be allowed to vote—and some of them actually did vote— but their voices were hushed by the President of the Council. He justly remarked that those Lords who had not heard the discussion on the writ of error, and those who were not law Lords, of course, being incompetent to decide on a point of law, should not be allowed to vote. This met with general approbation, and all the Peers retired except five. These were the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord BROUGHAM, Lord COTTENHAM, Lord DENMAN, and Lord CAMPBELL. When the battle was confined to this small army, there could be no doubt as to the victory. Lord BROUGHA m stood alone for confirming the ju lgment of the Irish Bench, but he was happily over pcwered by three of thebest lawyers that have adorned the English Bar. They had, as became their station, duly weighed the opinions of the judges, but they found, as every man who has read the details of this monstrous and anomalous prosecution has found, that the points for the decision of the judges, drawn up at the instigation of the LORD CHANCELLOR, did not . involv e the real—the main merits—of the case, and, like honest men, they formed a judgment for them selves. They threw overboard Chief Justice TINDAL and his colleagues. We make this remark without any disparagement of the imperturbable, consci entious, and virtuous Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. He had only certain law questions to answer. He answered them honestly ; but the real judges had more latitude; they were bound to take into con sideration the whole merits of the case. They cared nothing for Lord LYNDHURST or Lord BROUGHAM, or the underlings who drew up the questions for the consideration of the judges ; they d ec id e d according to their consciences, and declared that Mr. Cre". NELL and his compatriots had been unjustly con. demned. What a picture of English justice! These men, one of them the first orator, statesman, and lawyer of his native land, the greatest bene- factor of Ireland, the consummator of the Catholic Emancipation Bill, and the mainstay of the Reform Bill, have now been imprisoned for three months, contrary to all law, contrary to justice and equity; and yet, in this land of boasted freedom, they Jaye no redress.

CULLOMPTON. — The vicar of this place, the Rev. W. Sykes, met with a seriou s acc i dent 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. FATAL ACCIDENT ON HI GHGATE -HILL.— Yester day Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Whitting ton and Cat, Highgate-hill, on the body of Samuel George Rogers, aged 35, who, with four other persons, was knocked down and injured on Sunday night last by the phaeton of Mr. Joseph S. Murphy, agent to Messrs. Parsons, St. Paul's-churchyard. Mr. Murphy, who was dreadfully injured, was brought into the Court in the custody of the police. Dlr. John Bird, of the Whit tington and Cat, said that while in his bar on Sunday night last he heard a great outcry on the hill. He ran out instantly, and saw a horse plunging about in a phae ton, and the deceased and other persons lying in the road. The horse reared and struggled until it broke the phaeton in half ; and after it had galloped off he 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. Bynell, the uncle and aunt, andßebecca 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 he 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 became insen sible front the effects of the concussion. The jury in formed the coroner that the road was dangerous at the spot where the accident happened. The injured per sons must have b een 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. FALL IN THE PRICE Or BREAD IN THE METROrO- L/S.—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.

UNION - HALL.—(THIS DAY.) Ann Waters and Jane Roberts were charged before Mr. Cottingham with stealing a diamond pin from Au gustus Palfroi, a foreigner. The complainant, who spoke English imperfectly, stated that on Tuesday he arrived from Hamburgh, and the same evening, as he was walking along Fleet-street, he was accosted by the two prisoners. They spoke of being in his country, and made themselves so agreeable that be was at length induced to accompany them over the bridge to a house near a theatre. At the time he entered the house he had a valuable diamond pin in his neck handkerchief, which was admired by the prisoners, who desired him to be careful of it, or he would lose it. One of the prisoners (Roberts) then pretended to fondle with him, and for that purpose clasped her hands round his neck. Immediately afterwards he missed his diamond pin, and accused the woman of taking it. She, however, denied it, and on his threaten ing to call the police both the prisoners threatened him with their vengeance ; but he gave an alarm, a police man entered, but the diamond pin was not found, they having had ample opportunity of getting rid of it. Mr. COTTINGRADI said that it was a very audacious robbery on a foreigner, and that he should remand the prisoners, in order that the case might be completed against them. RETIREMENT of LORD STANLEY. No little excitement and conjecture were occasioned in the House of Commons this afternoon, 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 prevent in the Commons. We will not stop to state with what feelings we should have learned the announcement of this Noble Lords' 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 STANLEY and GRAHAM has always appeared to us at least as extraordinary as the physical alliance of their duplicate prototypes. HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH. Her lfajesty 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 be 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. MPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met to 'day at; ten o'clock, for the purpose of giving several judgments. The Peers present at the time were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, LordCottenham, and Lord Campbell. ADAM V. FARQUHARSON. BLAME V. ----. Their Lordships affirmed the judgment, with costs. , - CARRICK V. BUCHANAN. The judgment in this case was also affirmed. LINDSAY V. THE EARL OF ABOYNE. The judgment of, the court below in this appeal was affirmed with costs. WATERS v. GROOM. This judgment was ordered to be affirmed, with costs. KNIGHT V. THE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD. In this appeal their Lordships ordered the judgment below to be reversed, and the bill to be retained for a limited period, leaving the plaintiff; if he could, to establish his title at law to the tithes, the subject of the suit. CHARTER T. TREVELYAN. The judgment of the appeal was affirmed, with costs. ROSS V. THE DUKE OF SUTHERLAND. The judgment in this appeal was affirmed, without costs. COMMISSIONERS OF BANKRUPTCY. Lord BROUGUAM, in the course of the morning, moved for a return of the number of days the Commissioners of Bankruptcy had sat for the last three months, distin guishing the several months ; and also for a return of the amount of revenue for the Customs of Excise for the current quarter, up to September. In moving for the first return, the Noble Lord stated that he hoped his Noble and Learned Friend on the Woolsack would take an early opportunity of remov ing one of the greatest grievances which the suitors of the City of London were subject to, namely, the Com missioners of Bankruptcy only sitting for two or three days at most in a week, crowding twenty• seven or thirty things into one morning's sitting. The LORD CHANCELLO R said he had no authority over them. Lord BROUGHAM —Oh yes, you have, by the last Act. He had great satisfaction in moving for the last return, as it would show there was an increase at the rate of a million a year in the Customs. That being the case, and freight having risen 30 per cent. within the last two months, such was the admirable and satisfactory state of the trade of this country, that it made him grievously regret there should be any people in the world so insane as to wish for war. Lord CAMPBELL said he only abstained from making any observations on what had been said by his Noble and Learned Friend, on the ground that it might be detri mental to the suitors, by preventing their Lordships from giving their judgments in the different cases before them. Lord BROUGHAM was sure his friend did not mean to say he was for war. Lord CAMPBELL—NO; I should point out the best mode to preserve peace. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that as to the Commis sioners of Bankruptcy, they had enough now before them in deciding questions on his Noble Friend's Bill. Lord BROUGHAM said the Commissioners chose to crowd twenty-seven or thirty cases into one morning's business, in order to get away to their villas in the neighbourhood of London ; and as to his Bill, they put the most wrong and erroneous constructions upon it. [LEFT SITTING.' HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at Twenty-five minutes to One. A considerable number of Members had assembled, those on the Ministerial benches being by far the most numerous. Mr. BENBOW, the new Member for Dudley, was introduced, and took the oaths and his seat. A messenger from the Treasury brought up some papers by the order of her Majesty. RETIREMENT OF LORD STANLEY FROM PARLIAMENT. On the motion of Mr. HOPE, a new writ was ordered to be issued for the election of a Member to serve in Parliament for the northern division of Lan cashire, in the room of Lord Stanley, who since his election had accepted the office of Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds.—The motion was agreed to. Mr. HAVES presented a petition from Java on the subject of the sugar duties. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from Islington, against the Medical Reform Bill. THE YOUNG PRINCE. Lord JERMYN appeared at the bar, in the Wind sor uniform, and said—Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Commons, I am commanded by her Majesty to thank you for your address of congratula tion on the birth of another Prince, and to express her Majesty's satisfaction with your assurances of loyalty and affection to her person. 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 OF 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. MY 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 dente, we shall enjoy the blessing of an abundan harvest. [LEFT SITTING.] SINGULAR COMBAT. —Last week a hawk was ob served, on an i n l and lake, on the confines of Strothglass, to make a d art at one of a brood of wild ducks. The hawk missed his intended victim, and was instantly as sailed by the old duck, which flew, tartzr-like, from some weeds in the neighbourhood, and in her devotion to pro tect her offspring, the fond parent nearly suffered mar. tyrdom. The savage bird instantly seized and was about to land her, when a heron in the vicinity uttered one of those screams of terror for which it is peculiar when in danger. Curiously enough, the hawk forsook his pros trate victim, and attacked th e h eron, and although the duck rallied' and courageously came to her assistance, the relentless assailant exacted from the poor heron the satisfaction of death, and retired with a peculiar air of triumph, not even deigning to scalp its fallen enemy.— Rospshire dckertiser. 5, A 844, SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vublte eptition. " Who runs may read." roitzzoza.

(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) 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. THE 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 2d, 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 duly is fixed from this day at 2f. 20c. per 100 kilo grammes. Thus Belgian cast-iron will pay only lf. 25e.; besides this, a reduction of duty on iron articles is grafted. The export duty on woollens at the f ron ti ers of the Zollverein is reduced from 2 dolls. to 1 doll. The concessions made by Belgium are t 1 re-pay. ----- On Sunday evening their Majesties the King and Queen of the French received the Duke de Tievise, the Count do Nc-f., and General Baudrand. The colours taken at Mogadore by the Prince de 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 th e young Admiral. All the Invalides were drawn up in 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 Paris, 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, the Spanish Ambassador to the Court of the Tuileries, left Paris yesterday for Madrid, accompanied by M. Ruiz d'Arana. The Cheva lier d'Aguilera, First Secretary of Legation, will act as Charge d'Affaires. It was reported at Paris that 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 at Cherbourg. Admiral Turpin, who succeeds Admiral Leray, in the command of the French squadron in the Levant, arrived on the 11th ult. at the Pyrmas, 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'Ossuna, 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. LAW AND POLICE. 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, uuder the pretence of prosecuting, at her suit, a young man named Abel, for breach of promise of marriage, was brought up before Mr. Broughton for final examination and fully committed. At Guildhall Mr. Alderman Wood was occupied a considerable time in investigating a charge of stealing about 741 L 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. Spence- 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 " A cc id enta l d eat h" 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 i n opinion that th e a ff a i r 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. P iej PEDESTRIANISM.—Yesterday, a matc h to _ A d 100 stones from the ground, bei ng pl ac ed at a yro was performed by Stevens, near the Queen s di Tottenham.
