THE AWFUL THUNDER STORM ON SUNDAY-SERIOUS AND FATAL AC CIDENTS. On Sunday afternoon and evening the metropolis and its neighbourhood, particularly westward, was visited by one of the most severe storms, or rather succession of storms, of thunder and lightning remembered for many years, which we regret to state has been attended by nu merous accidents, some of which have been of a fatal nature. During the early part of the day the sky was perfectly clear, and the air serene, but about two o'clock the beat became most oppressive, scarcely a breath of air stirring, which continued until late in the evening. About five o'clock dense masses of clouds commenced gathering from the south-west, and by seven o'clock the whole sky became overcast, and the temperature extremely sultry, and a few minutes afterwards severai tremendous claps of thunder,pre ceded by vivid flashes of lightning, burst over the western suburbs. Scarcely any rain fell at the time in the neigh bourhood of the metropolis, and towards the end of the torm, which lasted about ht If-an-hour, what trifling ind there was suddenly shifted to the south-east, carrying he greatest violence of the tempest over Windsor and the lower portion of Berkshire, where the havoc done by the bail, which fell of a size scarcely to be precedented, has, we understand, been most extensive. Nearer town, particularly about New Brentford, much damage was done I by the lightning. A child belonging to a fisherman named I Clark, residing in Catherine-wheel-yard in that town, was, I about half-past six o'clock, struck by the electric fluid and I instantly killed. Nearly at the same moment the house of Mr. Cooper, surgeon, adjoining the Castle Tavern, was struck by the lightning, which entered the window of the nursery on the second floor, demolishing the glass, and, passing down the house, escaped at the front door. For tunately none of the children were in the nursery at the time, or the consequences might have been most fatal. Within a few minutes afterwards a man named John Bolton, an inhabitant of Brantford, while walking by the Castle, was struck by the electric fluid and instantly knocked to the ground. Several persons immediately ran to his assistance, and, finding him in a state of insensibility, conveyed him to the surgery of Mr. Cooper, by whom he was promptly attended. On examination it was found he had been de prived by the violence of the shock of the use of his limbs, and had received other injuries, of a nature to render his ultimate recovery extremely doubtful. Mr. Coburn, a lighterman, of Brantford End, while attending a barge on the cut near his residence, was likewise struck by the lightning, and nearly deprived of sight. At Kew, about the same time. a gentleman of the name of Finch was, with his wife and three daughters, taking tea in an arbour in the garden, when what is termed a thunderbolt found its way through the roof above them, and falling at their feet exploded with a loud noise, splitting into hundreds of pieces, by which the whole party were thrown off their seats, and Mr. Finch was for some minutes deprived of sight: fortunately none of them were seriously hurt. At Hammersmith a female, named Wilson, residing in the neighbourhood, while walking near the Hampshire Hog public-house, was also knocked to the ground by the elec tric fluid, but happily escaped with very slight injury. About seven o'clock the clouds began breaking, and soon afterwards the storm subsided. From that time until about nine o'clock, there was every appearance of the night proving fine, but about that hour the atmosphere assumed a ',lease and fiery aspect, and a quarter of an hour had not eepsed before the atmosphere was illumined by flashes of lightning of a most vivid nature, which extended from the western to the eastern hemisphere, the heavens continually opening and shutting, accompanied by distant and rolling I .eals of thunder. In a few minutes the thunder ap proached nearer to the metropolis, passing from south south- west to north-north-east. In the neighbourhood of Chelsea, Brompton, and Knightsbridge, its force was pecu liarly felt, eud the damage done by the lightning particu larly severe. Among the various accidents were the fol lowing : —Police.-eonstable Jones, 154 B, while on duty near the Fox and Bull, public-house, adjoining the Cann brewery, at Knightsbridge, was struck by the electric fluid, and instantly felled to the ground. When picked up he was found to be deprived of sight, and totally deprived of the use of his limbs, in which state he was conveyed on a shutter to St. George's Hospital, where he remains in a most dangerous state. Opposite Knightsbridge-green, a man named G. Bowler, residtngat No. I G,New-road, Chelsea, while passing along, was struck blind from the lightning, He was assisted to the same hospital where he still remains. About the same time a horse drawing a chaise-cart along the Fulham-road, becoming alarmed by the lightning, and the pealing thunder ; started off at full speed, and in his progress knocked down a lad named John Hart, residing at No. 1, Lower College-street, Chelsea, ever whom the wheels of the chaise passed. He was immediately picked up, and carried on a shutter to St. George's Hospital, where, on examination, it was found his skull was fractured, and one of his legs broken. Scarcely any hopes are entertained of his reeoverv. A man named Upjohn was likewise seriously injured by the lightning*, and conveyed to the same hos pital. lo Brompton square several of the windows of the houses weee broken, and a respectablefemale, while walking witla her son along the high road, past Holy Trinity Church, Brompton, was suddenly struck down. She was picked up in an apparently lifeless state, and taken to the house of Mr. Chaplin, plumber, &c., Brunswick-place, where, having been attended by a surgeon, she was brought round sufficiently to be enabled to be taken to her re- 1 sidence. At the D'Oyley Arms Tavern, in the Marlborough-road (Blacklands-lane), Chelsea, the effects of the storm have been most severe. About half-past nine o'clock the elec tric fluid struck the centre of the roof, and, entering through the tiles, passed through the bed-room of Mr. Middleton, the proprietor, in which were his daughter, who was in bed, and ttee female servant. It was then attracted by the cranks oc the various bell-wires on the landing, down which it passed into the spacious bar, on the ceiling of which it has left ample proof of its power. It then entered the par lour on the north side of the building, in which two gen tlemen were sitting eniaying a friendly glass and pipe, who instantly rushed from the room, and, at the same instant, an eecleston took place, which appeared to shake the building to its very foundation ; and, on the room being afterwards entered, it was found filled with soot and rub bish, even to the glasses on the table, the electric fluid having made its exit by the chimney. During the remainder of the night the heavens, at times, appeared one sheet of fire, but we have not heard of any other accidents having occurred. On Sunday evening, during the time the metropolis was threatened with a violent thunder storm, the attention of the company walking in Hyde Park and Kensington Gar dens was attracted by an extraordinary appearance in the heavens. It was first seen about a quarter before six o'clock, in the S. S. E., and had the appearance of a very large inverted bell attached to a very dense cloud, and ex tending downwards about a third of the distance to the earth. From the sides appeared a continual ascent of a black vapour, which was distinctly visible to the naked eye. In about 20 minutes from its being first discovered it gra dually drew itself' up into the cloud, of which it formed a component part, but in about three or four minutes it again descended in the form of a pillar, much lower than at first, and again seemed to emit a kind of dense vapour, which at times appeared like branches springing out of its sides. After having been visible on the whole, full half an hour, it again gradually disappeared in the dense clouds which rose in the south. SPAIN. The following proclamation has been issued on the part of the Pretender to the Basque people : " Volunteers !

To 7.1 L LOSS OF TIIE JOAN BULL STEAMER HY FIRE.-- Mr. Tho;oaS, purser of the John Bull steamer, arrived yesterday at 000 n, with the intelligence that that splendid bat was totally consumed by fire yesterday morni n g , be tween thie2 and Cur o'clock, off Laveltrie, about eight miles above Sorel, wt 4ile on her way to this city ; and we regret to learn that sever.‘ l ,of the deck passengers, who we believe were settlers, lost ti.. 6 r lives by jumping overboard during the confusion attend Cit on the removal of the others ashore. The John Bull was, perhaps, the most valuable steam boat in North America. She cost the proprietors upwards* of .22,680/., and was only insured for 5,000/. There were only about twelve cabin passengers, includ ing two or three ladies, one of whom, a Miss Ross, was accidentally drowned, by falling between two of the small boats, after she was takea from the wreck. Mrs. M'Cord, the wife of W. K. M`Cord, Esq., was a passenger, and escaped with her night clothes only. The remainder of the passengers lost everything but what they had on. The number of steerage passengers lost was not learned. MONEY MARKET, &c., JumE 14.

The Duke of Cambridge arrived in town yesterday morning, from Bagshot Park. The Duchess of Gloucester returned to town yesterday afternoon, from her residence at Bagshot Park. The Duchess of Cambridge, the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, and the Princes, of Hohenlohe, visited the Zoo logical Gardens in the Regent's Park, on Sunday. A deputation from the London Committee for the Re lief of Highland Destitution, consisting of Lord Teign mouth, Sir Duncan M'Dougall, the Rev. Dr. Crombie, Alderman Pirie, James Bonar, Etist., William Skirring, Esq., and Alexander Elder, Esq., bad an interview with Viscount Melbourne yesterday in Downing-street. His Excellency Andrew Stevenson, the American Minister, transacted business yesterday with the Chancel lor of the Exchequer and the President of the Board of Trade.

The Lords of the Judicial Committee of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council sat yesterday in the Coun cil Chamber. Their Lordships gave judgment in an appeal from the Isle of Man, Jackson v. Wilson, affirming the Decree of the Court below. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL:S7-( YESTERDAY. ) Of the betting a short notice will suffice. On the July Stakes nothing was done, the disinclination to speculate being occa sioned by the doubt which prevails as to Crucifix. Several bets were made on the Goodwood Stakes, to the improvement of I-am-not-aware, Confusionee, and Ruby ; Miss Eliza and the Lord Mayor were not in any demand. For the Goodwood Cup Harkaway will be found to have improved half a point ; with the exception of Deception, who was backed for a trifle only, no odic* favourite was mentioned. The alteration in the St. Leger betting was confined to a select few, and had nothing new in it. A flat afternoon closed as follows : LIVERPOOL C 8 to I agst Capt. Gardnor's Teothill—taken 10 to 1 agst Mi. W.

METROPOLITAN POLITICAL SUMMARY. The Morning Post of this day, recurring to the subject of national education, says,—." Who then is it that ob3tructs the course of extended education ? Is it the Minister who insists upon a new plan which he says is very similar to tthe old, or his opponents, who say that they wish to keep to the old plan because the new one is exceedingly different in principle and full of danger? If the Minister gives way, he gives up hardly any thing, for, upon his own showing, the points of difference amount to little or nothing—if the opponents of the Minister give way, they give up everything, for, in their judgment, they would give up what is highly important to the religious well-being of the nation." The Morning Chronicle comments to the following effect on the Government Penny Postage scheme :—" The adoption of Mr. Rowland Hill's plan of the Penny Post age will, no doubt, occasion a considerable diminution of revenue for the first year. There seems as little reason to doubt that the amount of loss will be rapidly lessened, and that a very few years will substitute for it a profit im mensely increased. The accompaniment of the proposed scheme, by a Parliamentary pledge to make good the de ficiency, is a contrivance of singular clumsiness. It is worth nothing any way. * The measure itself is threatened with danger, if not with defeat, by this most supetfluous appendage. And to give vigour to opposition, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer declares that, unless this appended pledge be adopted, he will abandon the plan. He will not fly his kite at all, unless this particular piece of waste paper be tied to its tail. The Tories have now a chance for pre venting the Penny Postage, without appearing directly to oppose it." The Times commenting on an article that appeared in the Morning Post of yesterday, respecting the late Lady Flora Hastings, observes—" There can be nothing clearer at present than that the above spurious writing proceeds from some desire, not to do justice to the deceased—for ample justice is done her in public opinion—but to calumniate the enemies of some other interest in or out of the Palace—perhaps both." The Morning Herald contains a leading article sug gested by the public meeting which took place on Saturday, for the purpose of establishing a British India Society, in the course of which, alluding cursorily to Lord Brougham's speech, our Contemporary remarks as fol lows In exchange for the enormous revenue which England derives from India, it might be difficult to point out a single benefit conferred by England upon India. Famines recur at intervals of two or three years ; and during these fearful visitations, the natives die by hundreds of thousands. If the means of internal communication were extensive, the horrors of such!, famines—caused as they doubtless are, in the first instance, by the blighting influences of taxation such as Lord Brougham describes— might be considerably alleviated; but in India the means of communication arc worse, perhaps, than in any portion of the world besides." The Morning Advertiser observes, in reference to the late education debate in the Lorda :—" That debate has produced the unanimous admission of the Prelates and of the Tories in the Lords, that the education of the people ought to be an object of active concern to the nation, and the Government acting on behalf of the nation. This ad. mission alone is a great gain to the cause, were the dif ferences ever so great as to ulterior points." POST-MORTEM EXAMINATION OF THE LADY FLORA HASTINGS. (From the Morning Post.) We publish the following document by desire of the Marquis of Hastings. ... ... We have reason to believe that the paper was written in duplicate, each copy bearing the autograph signatures of the five eminent medical men, and that one copy remains in the hands of the Marquis of Hastings, while the other has been placed in those of the Queen:— " APPEARANCES OBSERVED ON INSPECT ING THE BODY OF THE LATE LADY FLORA HASTINGS, JULY 3, 1839. " There was great emaciation of the whole person. "In the chest the heart and lungs were in a perfectly healthy state ; but there were extensive adhesions of the pleura (or membrane) covering the right lung, to that which lines the ribs—evidently of long standing. " In the abdomen : there were universal adhesions of the peritoneum (or membrane which lines the cavity and covers the viscera), so that it could not be said that there was a single organ which was not, at every point on its surface, intimately connected with the parts in its vicinity. The liver was very much enlarged, extending downwards as low as the pelvis, and upwards so as very materially to diminish the capacity of the right cavity of the chest. The gall bladder contained a small quantity of bile. The liver was of a very pale colour, but its structure was not mate rially different from what exists in the healthy state. The stomach and intestines were distended with air; their coats, especially the muscular, were very much at tenuated. The spleen and pancreas were free from disease. Some of the mesenteric glands were enlarged. There were a few small deposits of unorganised yellow matter, apparently in the substance of the adhesions. " The uterus and its appendages presented the usual appearances of the healthy virgin state. 66 From the character of the adhesions it was plain that they could be referred only to inflammation at some former and distant period of time. The effect of them must have been to interrupt the passage of the contents of the stomach and intestines, and in various ways to interfere with the due per for of th W . function ( Signed) '6 F.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE or A CHlLD.—Fri day mor ni ng , between seven and eight o'clock, the inha bitants and passengers in Kin...street, Seven Dials, were thrown into a state of painful excitement by perceiving a child, not more than tw o years o f age, hanging by its hands, which were grasping, the parapet below the attic and above the second floor window at the house of a beer ! shop-keeper, named Coombs. The object to which their intense anxiety was directed looked with the most perfect calmness and composure upon the crowd assembled. Some persons from the street ran up stairs into the attic, and, getting into the gutter, were by that means enabled to lay hold of and safely deposit in the room the child, which, had it fallen from the height in question, must ine vitably have been dashed to pieces.

LONDON: TUESDAY, JULY 9, 1839. The Lords were last night informed that her Majesty bas appointed Thursday next, at two o'clock, to receive their address at Buckingham Palace, when her Ma jesty will, no doubt, give a just rebuke to the factious priests and hypocritical politicians, who, under the pre tence of care for religion, while they mean their own pelf and power, seek to prevent the people getting any education, but such as the priests dole out to them. The Bishop of EXETER betrayed a most alarming anxiety about the Canada Church Reserves, and was quite in dismay when he was told that the Bill which the legislature of Upper Canada has just passed for re-investing those reserves in the Crown, is not likely to be laid on the table this Session. The anxiety is, no doubt, very amiable, but whether it grow from a nice and tender care of the souls of the Canadians, or from a proper respect for the wealth of his order, the pious Prelate did not inform either the Peers or the public. Lord BROUGHAM again adverted to the scandalous anomaly of the House of Commons voting the payment of the salary of the Judge of the Admiralty Court, which anomaly, according to the Lord Chancellor, a Bill in progress is to cure. Is it merely from a desire to be independent of political influence, which makes the law tribe, generally, so full of admiration of the principle of securing, past all chance of controul or abatement, the salaries of the Judges ? Their Lordships only sat for a short time, and did no business of importance. In the Commons, it was announced that Mr. AI, COCK does not mean to defend his seat for Ludlow. His constituents will probably defend it for him. Amon g st the petitions presented worthy of notice was one from a place in Cheshire for a repeal of the Catholic Emancipation Act, so the Tories go back ward ; and one from the Members of the Royal Aca demy, complaining of the inquisitorial nature of some returns moved for by Mr. HUME The Hon. Member is to-day to move that the returlis be forthwith made, and Sir R. INGLIS, who presented the petition, is to move that the order be rescinded. Mr. Ew Ara is with reference to the vote for a school of design, to try and divert it into a vote for a normal school. Some other matters were mentioned that are as shortly given in our report as we could state them here. Lord J. RUSSELL gave an additional explanation as to printing the Bible in Scotland, by which any parties giving security may print Bibles. Sir JAMES GRAHAM found fault with this change on behalf of the Church men, and we fear it may not please the Dissenters. We admire the various powers of Government which, in addition to its other multifarious duties, is hencefor ward to be responsible that the Bible be correctly printed. Lord MORPETH brought in the Bank of Ire land Regulation Bill, which was read a first time. On the motion for going into a Committee of Supply, Mr. 1 - lumE moved for a Committee to inquire into the pecuniary transactions of the Bank of England, and maarei' ong, and able speech to prove that most of the vicissitudes of commerce since 1819 were caused by the conduct of the Bank. Mr. WILLIAMS seconded the motion, and dwelt particularly on the great injury which results from the connection between the Government and the Bank. Several Gentlemen spoke during the debate, ;hich occupied the greater part of the evening. We shall only say that the CHANCELLO R of the EXCHEQUER opposed the motion on the ground that it was too ex tensive to be gone into effectually now, and such an inquiry must soon be made, in consequence of the period approaching when the Bank Charter will expire. He also objected to it as likely to be in jurious to commerce. The motion, after a great deal of what Sir J. R. REID might properly call tedious speaking, was lost by a majority of 64 ; 93 voting against, and 29 for. Most of the Miscellaneous Esti mates were afterwards voted in a C• nmittee of Supply. The Irish Municipal Corporations Bill was reported. The Controverted Elections Bill was read a third time and passed. The Session has been wasted in idle and factious talk, and now the people are to be plagued with slovenly and ill-digested legislation. The hurried mode of doing the business called forth animadversions, but neverthe less business was done. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD gave up his Copyright Bill owing to the lateness of the Session. The House sat till Two o'Clock. We are glad to see that Mr. GIBSON has met with a favourable reception from a large body of his late constituents, who will, we trust, send him back to Parliament. We cannot find room for his speech, but we may say that it is plain and straightforward, like the whole of his conduct. Like all sensible men who have become intimately acquainted with the objects contemplated by the Tories—though bred up amongst them, he has become disgusted with their proceedings. He is offended (as who with a particle of penetration and of charity in his composition can be otherwise ?) with the arrogant and bigoted demands of the Anglican Priesthood, and with the hvprocritical support given to them by the Tories. The Tories, he said, were going backwards instead of forwards ; and Toryism was deteriorating instead of improving. On this ground mainly he separates from them ; and other moderate men, like Lord ELIOT and Mr. BARING WALL, are compelled to take the same course. Sir ROBERT PEEL might probably like to go with them, but his pledges to the bigots, and his knowledge that they would rally under his rival, the apostal e Whig, Lord Stanley, keep him true to the ed flag of persecution. Every day, however, must make the impossibility of the Tory and bigot po licy succeeding more apparent, and every day must thin the ranks of the Tories. Lord STANLEY, Sir JAMES GRAIIANI, and Co., apostatized from pique and disappointment. They could not have their own will and their own way ; they were not allowed to command, and so they rebelled. Poor BURDETT, and his fellow-missionary Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR, cut the Whigs, because the Whigs, it is said, would not make Peers of them ; but no persons have deserted them on prin ciple. Many persons have separated from them because they would not go fast and far enough ; but, except such persons as Lord RIPON, who re lapsed into Toryism when he could get nothing farther by Whiggism, none of their followers have honestly and openly left them for causes which they could avow. Society is essentially progressive, so must policy be ; and every day, therefore, must bring deserters from the stationary or even retro grade policy of the Tories. Mr. GIBSON, though the latest and most striking example of this fact, is only one of many. The very decided dislike which the QUEEN pub licly manifested to the principles of the Tory fac tion, when that faction lately attempted to place itself at the helm of the State, has made a lament able breach—a hiatus valde dfflendus—in Tory loyalty. From the moment that her MAJESTY gave that unequivocal proof, so gratifying to all her truly loyal subjects, that she has no sympathy with the hereditary enemies of the House of Brunswick, she has met with nothing but " disloyal insolence" from them, one and all—from the smooth-faced hy pocrite, who leads the factious herd in Parliament, down to the scampish penny-a-liner who vents his slander in the Morning Post. To what a degree of inveteracy this personal hatred of their Sovereign has arrived in the breasts of these ci-devant professors of loyalty may be inferred, without much difficulty, from the fact that two of their women of rank —ladies we do not call them—were detected in the act of hissing her MAJESTY at Ascot races. Such a fact may truly be said to " speak volumes," for, to do the Aristocracy justice, it must be confessed that, generally speak ing, they are as remarkable for their observance of external decorum as they are for their neglect of the " weightier matters" of the moral law. Among the organs of this unprincipled party, the Morning Post stands forth with unenviable prominence as the assailant of the QUEEN. This unprincipled Journal, which is known to reflect with unerring fidelity the sentiments of the Tory Aristocracy, to whom its circulation is almost entirely confined, omits no opportunity of holding up her MAJESTY to the contempt and hatred of its readers. Some times it holds her up to ridicule in a doggrel nur sery rhyme ; at other times it describes her as lis tening to lascivious conversation, and its latest escapade in the cause of loyalty is the circulation of the atrocious calumny that her MAJESTY has been the author and sole perpetrator of Lady FLORA HASTINGS' wrongs, Yesterday morning it delivers itself on this subject after the following fashion—" The friends of the Court Ladies and the Court Physician are going about in society auda ciously asserting that the QUEEN was the author of the foul calumny against Lady FLORA HASTINGS, and that all the indecent and brutal conduct prac tised towards that unfortunate lady was by the un prompted and uninfluenced command of her MA JESTY. This assertion is, of course, as false as it is unconstitutional. And, be the fact what it may, every Englishman is bound, in constitutional duty, to disbelieve the assertion. But assuming the monstrous hypothesis for a moment that this wicked assertion can be true, we still say, and shall take an early opportunity of showing, that, so far from exonerating the Court Ladies and the Court Phy sician from any portion of their guilt, it adds enor mously and fearfully to their revolting and odious criminality." This extract, we allow, evinces a very venomous degree of malignity, but luckily the reptile which concocted it did not possess sufficient sense to effect the purpose it had in view. The clumsiness of the apparatus defeats the object while it betrays the intention. It is a very likely thing, no doubt, that the Ladies of the QUEEN'S Court, or their " friends," should go about defaming their SOVEREIGN, who has given these Ladies so public and so unequivocal and so flattering a proof of her personal attachment to them. There would truly be much wisdom as well as gratitude in such conduct as this, either on their part or that of the Court Physician. No, no ! this is too flimsy a pretext even for the stupidest of the Tory dolts who take in the Post to be deceived by. The real calumniators, the audacious originators of the " monstrous hypothesis," are the Morning Post or its " friends." But it is convenient for that scrupulous abettor of a pestilent clique to put his disloyal slander into the mouths of others. This, as Lord BROUGHAM remarked the other night, with regard to a similar piece of disingenuousness at , tempted to be practised in the House of Lords, — this is " one of the ways of saying things." Let the reader observe also the meanness which this silly and cowardly scribbler exhibits in pretending; to "disbelieve" the infamous charge which he cir culates against his -QUEEN, while every word he writes shows that, whether he believe it or not him self, he is especially anxious that his readers should believe it. We are told that the working men in various establishments of the metropolis propose to devote a part of two days in the week, perhaps Tues days and Fridays, in holding public meetings, and taking every possible means to express very fully their sentiments on the late proceedings at Birmingham. They are to declare their confi dence in the Convention, and to take steps for tilling up any vacancies which may be caused by the present members being arrested. Pruden tial?rom publishing the considerations prevent us spirit-stirring letter which gives us this informa tion. Deeply regretting as we do the circum stances which have occurred at Birmingham, it is our duty not to add to the excitement which we are sure they must produce by publishing any inflammatory appeals. At the same time we must say that the sentiments which the letter breathes are such as we looked for amongst the working men of the metropolis, particularly that intelligent class, the engineers. They are to us convincing proofs that thousands of hard-handed and clear-headed men feel themselves personally and deeply aggrieved by the proceedings at Birmingham, and are now ready to make common cause with the Convention. The trial of the Paris prisoners was expected to be brought to a close on Sunday evening, or Monday at the latest—for of such importance is the acceleration of the sentence regarded by Louis PHILIPPE and his Ministers, that the Court of Peers did not allow itself to rest even on the Sabbath. As usual in France, the farce is expected to be followed up by a tragedy, not so much because the prisoners have been proved traitors, as because it is the pleasure of the Pro cureur-General, that the Court should find them guilty, and that of the KING, that the excite ment supplied a ferocious mob by the occasional exhibition of the guillotine at work should know no abatement. So little does the Court of Peers care to preserve even the appearance of impartiality in the trial of the prisoners, that at the close of a ferocious harangue delivered by the Procureur-General against tile ac cused, in which he demanded their blood at the hands of the Court, several of the Peers sitting in judgment, left their places, and in public Court shook hands with congratulating him on his success ! 'Well might the prisoner BARBES deny the judicial authority of so cor rupt and shameless an assembly of Court parasites. Orders had been transmitted by the Minister of Marine to Brest and Toulon directing every expe dition to be employed to get all the vessels that could be spared ready for sea. It was supposed that the SULTAN had refused to listen to the pacific remon strances of France. The Moniteur contains the following official para graph :—" Several evening. journals announced that a battle had been fought between the Egyptian and Turk ish troops. The Government has received no intelli gence of the kind." There is no other news in the French journals of Sunday, of the slightest interest to an English reader. The Amazon brig, Captain Fronde, sailed on the 4th, from Toulon for the Levant. The brig D'Assas, Captain Des cham p e, sailed from Brest on the 4th, f or Braz il . A Morning Paper has the following paragr a ph : " News has been received, by the Minister of Marine, from Montevid eo , an d the blockade of Buenos Ayres, more recent than th at wh i c h w e published yesterday from the English Jour na l s. Ad m iral Leblanc, commanding the French naval f orce , i s dangerously ill, and has permission to return to France. We are assured that the Minister has appointed Rear- Admiral Dupotel to suc ceed him." Among the letters published by the Semaphore of Mar seilles there is a letter from I3ayonne of the 9th of June, which, after mentioning the approach of actual hostilities a; apparently inevitable, concludes as follows I have this moment received a letter from Bagdad, which is dated the 23d of May. It tells me that Barhein, where the pearl fishing is carried on, has placed itself under tho protection of the East India Company, and that two Eng lish men-of-war keep in check the Egyptian fleet, which threatened that island. The letters from Bombay and Hydrabad inform us that a strong English army had passed the Indus to go' to the aid of the Shah of Caboul el- Herat."—Constitutionnel. The Courrier Lyons of the 4th, an extravagantly Doc trinaire journal, speaks of a movement which was to have taken place at Marseilles on the Ist of .luly. The details which it gives seem to us to bear such evident marks of iinprobability and exaggeration, that we think it our duty to wait for further information before we give credit to re ports which seem to be propagated with systematic regu larity. —Le Commerce.

Letters from Lisbon of the 19th ult. announce that the financial project for defraying the interest due to British bondholders is postponed for another year—the interest in the meantime to be capitalised, and bear an interest of five per cent. ! Verily this is a most conve nient mode of dealing with the public creditor, but there has been too much of it in the case of Spain to allow us to call it an honest one. . Letters from Alexandri a o f the 19th of June have come to hand. The Egyptian fleet was then cruising off the harbour of that city ready to put to sea when required. IBRAHAM PACHA'S army consisted of 100,000 regular and 3),000 irregular troops. The detachment of the Turkish army under SOLIMAN, Pacha of Marash, which took possession of Aintab, within the territory of MEHEMET Au, were surrounded by the Egyptian troops, and so kept in a state of blockade in expectation of a formal declaration of hostilities. The following is a copy of the letter with which Captain CAILLE was intrusted by MEHEMET Am to deliver to his son : " Alexandria, 5, Rahu-errel, Jan. 16. " The bearer of my letter is M. Caille, Aide-de-camp to his Excellency Marshal Soult, Minister for Foreign Affairs in France, who arrived here the day before yester bay, to inform me that he is commissioned to speak to you. Another Aide-de-camp goes to Constantinople, and from thence to the camp of Hafiz Facha, M. Caille goes by the steamer, accompanied by my second dragoman, Kosreff Effendi. This officer has announced to me that his mission, like that of the other officer, is to prevent the war, which appears imminent, and that the great powers will arrange this affair. In consequence, if, on his arrival you have not driven the Turks from the frontier, re-enter your limits. This officer will. go to Hafiz Pacha, and, after having spoken with the other Aide-de-camp, to know what he has obtained, he will return to you and give you an account. If, on his return, he tells you that the Turkish army has re mained where it was, and that the Turks have returned to their own limits, then you will make no further movement, and you will yourself stop where you are. But if, after the return of M. Caille with this assurance, he does not stop, but continues his first movements, without retiring his troops from our frontiers, you will march against him and give him battle. In case, on the arrival of the Charge d'Af faires, you shall have already driven the Turks from our limits, and shall have advanced, you are to remain where you are, and wait the arrangement the great powers shall make, and which I will communicate to you. I also in form you, to prevent the uneasiness the announcement of the fleet having sailed from Constantinople may occasion, that I shall send to the coast of Syria; for this purpose a part has left the port to-day, and th e rest w ill sa il to morrow." (Seal of Mehemet Ali.) The Smyrna Journal gives the following news from Constantinople to the 17th :—" Last Sunday evening a Tatar arrived from the army of Ilafiz Pacha, and brought the news of a first engagement of advanced posts which had taken place between a corps of Turkish cavalry of -) to 3,000 men, and the same number of Egyptian cavalry. The latter were wholly beaten, and, independent of dead and wounded, who remained on the field of battle, they made fifty prisoners. After this affair the Ottoman ad vanced guard took possession of Aintab. Ibrahim Pacha made great preparations to retake this place, and had already given . orders to a portion of his army, and above all to his artillery, to proceed to this point. 'We arc induced to believe that some important action has already taken place between the two armies, and we are is the greatest state of impatience to know the results. In the meantime. the news of this first success was received by the population of Constan tinople in the most favourable manner. On Saturday, im mediately after the arrival of the French packet-boat, which brought to Constantinople M. Foltz, the officer of the staff, sent by the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, and who brought the news of the approach to the East of the Prince de Joinville, an extraordinary council was held, which lasted five hours. Since then the members of the Divan have had occasion to assemble three times in Privy Council, always respecting those events. It is thought that the French Government persists in its inten tion of preventing, if possible, war ; and that the mission of M. Foltz to Admiral Roussin had for its object to make a new attempt in that sense; but no one believes that the Porte will reconsider its determination, which it has taken in so deliberate a manner, to deliver Syria from the yoke of Ibrahim Pacha. However this may be, the arrival of M. Foltz is of a nature to add new difficulties to a situation already too complicated." The following is from Smyrna, of the 19th June : " A portion of the Ottoman fleet, under the orders of the Capitan Pacha, was yesterday at Magara, whilst the other portion was anchored at the Dardanelles. All the fleet was to sail on Sunday or Monday, to proceed, it is said, to Mytelene. Admiral Laborde, with two vessels, was also yesterday under Cape Baba, where the Vanguard had arrived from Palermo, with despatches of Admiral Stop ford for Lord Ponsonby. The Vanguard was to wait in those parayes the reply of the English Ambassador. This morning, at the break of day, the French vessel the Tri ton, met in the Gulf of Smyrna, the Jupiter, on board of which was Prince Joinville, and who was proceeding in hat vessel to the anchorage of Ourlac." The town authorities of Ramsgate have prohibited all persons from calling fish, vegetables, fruit, &c., through the streets, the consequence of which wise regulation is, that numbers of individuals are thrown out of employment, the inhabitants—and chiefly the visitors—have to pay a higher price for these articles, and general injury done to this favourite watering place, for the purpose of putting a little money into the pockets of some half score of tradespeople. Can not these people see that the effect of such a regula tion is to increase the current of visitors to Dover, Calais, and Boulogne No doubt now remains that the wretched being who suffered yesterday, on the gallows, at the Old Bailey, had committed a deliberate murder, and had attempted to commit another capital felony', only second to it in atrocity ; yet, he is represented in the maudlin, dis gusting accounts of his conduct since the conviction, to have been an object of the most anxious solicitude, and hopes were held out to him by the Rev. Ordinary that he " would be welcomed to the heavenly abode by 10,000 angels." To fanatical minds, and of these there is no lack, such a perversion of moral and religious principles holds out a greater premium for crime, than even a re mission of the capital punishment. The statement de scribed as his " confession" in one of the Morning Papers, is of a piece with all the rest. It is really a disgrace to the country that readers can be found to peruse such offensive productions. YEOMANRY CALLED OUT.—this • morning ( Saturday) at an early hour, the inhabitants of this town were roused from their sleep by the sound of trumpet, calling the Warwickshire Yeomanry Cavalry to arms— orders having been received for them to assemble without delay and march towards Birmingham. We deeply regret the necessity for this step, as we are of opinion that the ap pearance of yeomanry on the scene of action may produce an increase of irritation in the excited people, while the latter imight be kept in subjection by regular troops.— TVarzeick Advertiser. 1 IFE of SIR WALTER SCOTT, Vol. IV.

" CONDEMNED SERMON. (From the Times.) Our journal records the execution of Nlarchanf, the mur derer of Eliza Paynton. It is difficult, perhaps, to bold him out as an example to other erring youth ; for, as he neither appears to have been a drunkard, nor given up to licentious courses, his crime is of so extraordinary a cha racter, that it is hardly possible any other by following the s me course should terminate his career by the same shame ful death : but if there be no occasion to read a lesson to those who in ordinary cases might be seduced to commit a similar offence, we think it may not be improper to address a w, rd to tl 0 Reverend Chaplain who preachei what is usually called the condemned sermon at Newgate. In that alisecurse is the following passage:— " To you, my dear young friend and fellow-sinner, it has happened that you, for the last time, are treading the courts of God's house of prayer. Before to. morrow's sun shall have set you will have closed your eyes on this world. But, remember, should you leave it penitent, as I hope and believe you will, you will be welcomed to the heavenly abode by 10,000 angels, and become a trophy of sovereign grace and add another jewel to the diadem of mercy." Nuw, far be it from us to presume to imagine any limit to the mercy of God ; yet it certainly is a language which inspires disgust, that tells a condemned murderer that he is, upon any supposition of penitence—even allowing it to be the most sincere—to be welcomed to the heavenly abode " by 10,000 angels, and become a trophy of sovereign grace, and add another jewel to the diadem of mercy." We should recommend more caution to this Reverend Gentleman, and a careful study of our good divines, Jeremy Taylor, Tillotson, Barrow, &c. The chaplain of a public prison ought to be a very calm and cautious person, re. moved as much, as possible from enthusiastic fervours of the above description. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) OLD CO UR T. Susan Morris the elder, and Susan Morris the younger, mother and daughter, were indicted for stealing a handker chief, one purse, thirteen sovereigns and three shillings, the property of Robert Cheeseman. It appeared that the prosecutor had accompanied the younger prisoner home, and after he was asleep the two prisoners had gone away in a cab. On the prosecutor awaking, he found the pri soners were gone, and that his property was missing ; he gave the alarm, and a policeman followed the prisoners in a cab, and overtook them, and found the property on them. The prosecutor stated that at the time this occurred, he was intoxicated. On his cross-examination he denied that he had met the younger prisoner by appointment, but would not swear that he had not given his purse to the younger prisoner to take care of for him. The elder prisoner, in her defence, said that she did not reside with her daughter, and knew nothing about the robbery. The younger prisoner said that her mother was perfectly innocent, that the prosecutor had met her by appointment, had given her one sovereign and bis handkerchief, and had given her his purse to take care of for him. The RECORbER summed up, and said that if the Jury believed the prosecutor had given the prisoner the purse to take care of, and that, overcome by the temptation, she had gone off with it, that was a very different offence from that of stealing it from the prosecutor's person. If they entertained any doubt, they should give the prisoners the benefit of it. The Jury found the prisoners Not Guilty. The RECORDER said that this was the safer verdict, al though the case was pregnant with suspicion. Iu dis charging the prisoners, the Recorder warned the younger prisoner that in the event of her being convicted a any offence, a former conviction could be brought forw aid against her, and she would be undoubtedly transported for life. The officers were allowed their expenses, but the prose cutor was refused his. Thomas Wilson, convicted of stealing a box•coat from the carriage of the Earl of Warwick, was sentenced to six months imprisonment and hard labour. NEW COURT. Jane Phillips, a married woman, of respectable appear ance, aged 32, Was indicted for stealing a cloak, a spoon, and other articles, the property of Vim. T `light. The prisoner pleaded guilty, but inpliries were made of the prosecutor respecting the character of the prisoner. The result was, that the Learned JR dge told her that public justice demanded that she should be transported beyond the seas for the term of seven years. Edmund Taylor was indicted for stealing articles of cloth, velvet, &c., &c., the property of T. Thomas, his master. This prisoner (a genteel youth) also pleaded guilty. The inquiry made at the time made a favourable impres sion on the mind of the Court, ar.d the youth was sentenced :o only six months' imprisontnent. AN INCORRIGIBLE GlRl , .—Jernima Henwright, aged 14, was indicted for stcaP.ng a valuable ring, the property of William Horseman, 'her master. She also " confessed judgment." It appeared that the child bad been formerly convicted, and underwent a term of imprisonment in the House of Correction. She had not been long liberated before she was received in the household of tho prosecutor, and there she had not been more than three hours before she pur loined the ring in question. The Learned COMMON SERGEANT said that it was dif cult to know what to do with a female so young. The Court would pass sentence of transportation for seven years, but recommend that shr_t be only confined for ono year in the Milbank Penitentiary, in the hope that it would be a warning to her.
