MAGAZINES—(CONTINUED.) • COLB URN' S NEW MONTHLY. `Mr. Harrison Ainsworth has secured the services of tt powerful staff of contributors to the New Monthly. Among them are Captain Marryatt, who gives the first of 'a aeries of extracts from the log of a privateer's-man a hundred years ago, and Mr. G. P. R. James, who has, in the present number, commenced a new novel, entitled " Beauchamp," from which we give the following exqui site passage, which it would require the pencil of a Gainsborough to adequately illustrate : "Nevertheless, we know that every now and then, in May. comes in a warm and summer-like day, bright, and soft, and beautiful, full of a tempered sunshine, appearing after the cold days of winter, like joy succeeding sorrow, and entender ed b y the memories f the past, such was the sort of day upon which the traveller we have spoken of rode on upon his way through a very fair and smiling country. The season had been some what early in its expansion ; the weather had been unusually mild in March ; frequent and heavy showers had succeeded in April, and pouring through the veins of the earth the bountiful libation of the sky, had warmed the bosom of our common mother to a rich and lovely glow. The trees were all out in leaf, but yet not sufficiently unclosed to have lost the rich variety of Inn., displayed by the early buds. The colouring would have been almost that of autumn, so bright and manifold were the tints upon the wood, had it not been for a certain t,nderness of aspect which spoke of youth and not decay. There was the oak in its red and brown, here and there mingled with the verdant hue of summer, but beside it waved the beech, with its long arms robed in the gentlest and the softest green, the ash pointed its taper fingers in the direction where the wind was going, and the larch lifted up its graceful spire, fringed with its grass like filaments, while its beautiful cones, full of their coral studs, afforded ornaments, that Queens might be proud to wear. The fields were spangled with a thousand flowers, and every bank and hedge was jewelled with vegetable stars; not only the pale violet, and the yellow primrose, but the purple columbine and the white hawthorn, even the odo rous-breathed cowslip, the wild geranium. and a long list be side, were all spreading their beauty in the evening air, and glittering with the drops of a shower not long passed by. Overhead, too, the sky was full of radiance, warm yet soft, deep in the azure. yet tinted with the evening light, as if the sunbeams were the threads of a crimson woof woven in with the blue warp of the sky." Leigh Hunt, too, has joined the corps of the New Monthly, and has this month given us a quaint version of old Chaucer's delightful tale of " Death and the Ruffians." Mr. Ainsworth himselfcorttinues his "Revelations of Lon don," and Mr. Francis Ainsworth continues his interest ing series of papers on the rivers and cities of Babylonia. The " Roberises on their Travels" are as amusing as ever, and the gentleman on half-pay gives a most laughter inc,eing ace.ount of the adventures which befel him in consegnence of his advertising for a wife. We have a kindky notice of poor Barham (Thomas Ingoldsby), from the pen of his intimate friend Mr. Hughes, and Pudley Costello gives us two spirit-stirring chapters of a tale, entitled the Fortune of France or the Hotel de Cluney, a scene of which is laid in Paris at the com mencement of the reign of Francis I. Peter Priggins gives us a most amusing and Theodore-Hook-like sketch of society, entitled the Fox in the Well. Peter, however, must look to Isis laurels ; the author of Jacob Omnium, the Merchant Prince, is fast treading on his heels. This is a good number of the New Monthly and contains greater variety than many of its prede cossers. We could wish, however, that some of the long works were brought to a conclusion, and that the space devoted to them were occupied by light maga zine tales , complete in themselves, such as were wont in days of yore to gladden the hearts of the readers of the New Monthly. We like not the system of conti nuations. AINSWORTH'S MAGAZINE. " Cmsar Borgia," an historical romance by the author of " Whitefriars," in the three first chapters carries with it the promise of a powerful and interesting treatment. There is no epoch of the Middle Ages more fraught with stirring incident and picturesque situation. The rise.of the family of Rodrigo Borgia (Alexander VI.); the power of the Papal throne whilst he filled it ; the ambition, the luxury, the crimes, the fortunes, and the downfal of the execrable Alexander and his monster son, Duke Caesar, as they have come down to us, are, all of them, on a gigantic and marvellous scale. The story opens at Rome, in the commencement of the far-famed jubilee year, 1500. " The Man who makes Bargains" (by Russel Graham) and " Working the Oracle" are two capital papers, the latter re.ninding us strongly of the graphic sketching of James Smith. Mr. James's " Ehrenstein" advances a chapter or two, and the number closes with the following beautiful stanzas by Mrs. Ponsonhy THE RETURN FROM BATTLE. their Serene Highnesses the Duchess Ida of Saxe Wei mar, and the Princesses Anna and Anselie of Saxe Weimar, left Marlborough House in a carviage and four, at half-past twelve o'clock yesterday,, for: her residence, Bushy Park. Mr. Hume, M.P., and Mr. George Duncan, M.P., had an interview with the Chancellor of Cho Exchequer yes terday, at his official residence in Downing -street. A meeting of the Commissioners for promoting and encouraging the fine arts in the rebuilding the palace of Westminster, was held at half-past two o'clock yesterday afternoon, at Gwydyr House, Whitehall. The Commis sioners present were the Earl of Lincoln, Lord Colbome, the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, Sir Robert Harry Inglis; Bart., Mr. Benjamin Hawes, MX., and Sir Thomas Wyse. The meeting broke up at five o'clock. The Governor of the Bank of Engiwod had an inter view yesterday with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Lord Stanley arrived in town yesterday from Good wood. " Open the window, mother dear ! let the bright sunshine in ; The joyous shouts are drawing near, I heir the trumpet's din. Unclose these curtains round my bed, the air is soft and mild ; Oh ! mother, threw the casement wide 1" " Be still, be still, my child." " I leve to see the soldiers pass, in all their proud array • Their glancing spears, their prancing steeds, their banners broad and gay. I love to see the soldiers pass—" " Thou canst not see them Mr. Andrew Tennent, Glasgow, ane, Mr. Drew, Shaw field, had an interview yesterday with the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

" Then, mother, tell me who returns, as rank by rank they come. Does my detti father fill his place? comes my young brother borne? Ah I mother, I can see your brow flush with a sudden joy." " Yes, God be praised ! my husband comes—home comes my noble boy I" " The men at arms have all passed by, loud peals the trumpet's strain • I hear t he charger's clattering hoofs; oh, mother I look again Dost thou sot see our gallant guards? do they not proudly ride ?

Bareheaded rides onr emperor, methinks I see him now. casque of steel and burnish'd gold hangs at his saddle-bow, Bareheaded too my lover rides, he lifts his standard high; The conquering eagles soar aloft, the silken streamers fly. Let me arise and braid my hair, my weariness is past, The languor leaves my beating brow, my strength is coming fast, - And I shall live,—for he returns to lead me forth again Where summer dews and cooling airs shall soothe my burning pain. Oh, mother, mother ! do not pause, the sunlight blinds mine eyes ; I see the banners waving high—on high the eagle flies. Oh, mother, mother I is he there?" "My child, I look in vain, But lay thee down and take thy rest, for he may come again." " No, mother, no ! thy cheek is pale ; I know you look in vain ; My dear one lies in distant lands, he ne'er may come again. Mother ! I sink—l faint—l die—my hope, my life is o'er." " Yes, faint, my child I and die, my child ! thy lover comes no more." LITERATURE. CABINET HISTORY OF ENGLAND. By Charles Mac Farlane. Vol. VII. The present volume contains the history of the latter part of the reign of Henry VIII., of the whole of Edward VI., and of the commencement of Mary. The history of the reign of Henry VIII. is the most accurate account which has yet appeared of the events of that interesting period. The recently discovered extensive collections of the " State Papers " of that period have afforded Mr. MacFarlane materials which were not within the reach of his predecessors, and of which he has known well. how to avail himself. The style is manly and perspicuous, and the history is written in a spirit of benevolent charity which is be yond all praise. The following reflections, on the death of the unfoitunate Catherine Howard, are well warthy of serious attention : The Protestants were as ready to believe in the guilt of the Papist Catherine Howard, as the Papists had been to believe iu the guilt of the PrAestant Anne Boleyn. Since the triumph and firm establishment of the rformed doctrines, sympathy and admiration have been incessantly demanded for the unfortunate mother of Queen Elizabeth, but no Protestant tears have been shed for the still more hapless Catherine Howard. Yet an attentive examination of documents, contemporary his tories, and traditions, will convince every impartial mind that the frailties and guilt of Catherine were no more substantiated and proved than were the guilt and frailties of Anne, and that, in the case of both ladies, the tyrant and, his slaves bade defiance to all law and justice. A living. and distinguished Roman Catholic historian turns Anne Boleyn into a wanton, and Catherine into an in nocent martyr. Alas ! for the slow progress of truth and impartiality ! Are these and other historical subjects of still greater weight always to be treated of with the same angry passions and , the same wilful blindness to evidence ? Is prejudice to hold for ever the scales ? Must every history continue to be one-sided ?" COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert took a drive in a poney carriage from Osborne House on Thursday afternoon. Lord Adolphus Fitzelarence had the honour of joining the Royal circle at dinner.

A case of this kind, we must own, was opened last night in Parliament, by Lord PALMERSTON, in one of the most powerful and remarkable speeches of the session. From cer tain communications and petitions which had been transmitted to his Lordship he was enabled to bring under the notice of the House of Commons some statements touching the present condition of Greece, and the suffer ings of the Greek people, disclosing an amount and variety of misgovernment, ministerial profligacy, and shameless oppression, such as even in Greece itself—the fated theatre of an iron despotism, or a bloody anarchy for so many ages—have scarcely found their parallel. Lord PALMERSTON showed that since the removal of NiAVROCORDATO, a " sound patriot," from the head of King °TIM'S Government, which was effected by the basest and moot invidious intrigues, COLETTI —a man brought up in the school of the execrable ALT Pam (the monster of Janina)—and subsequently wielding in Egypt the irresponsible powers delegated to the officers of oriental princes, had been elevated to the post of Prime Minister. Under this man's withering possession of office, the social, int( rnal, and political con lition of the country had fearfully and rapidly de clined. The pay of the regu'ar army had been per mitted to run two or three years in arrear. In their place the Government had retained and exercised the services of large bands of the Polikary, a species of frontier robbers by profession and descent of the most violent and remorseless character, who were over-running the villages in every di rection, plundering the inhabitants, or exposing them to the most inconceivable tortures and atrocities , for the sake of extorting their money, goods, or posses sions from them. In those instances where an accused delinquent could not be readily found, these wretches would proceed to the village or town of his residence, avid, on a plea of punishing collusion, would seize a dozen of the residents, tie them together, set them swinging, and in that position cruelly scourge the soles of their feet. Others they would subject to the agoniz ing infliction of passing ramrods through the calves of their legs: Some were thrown upon their backs, and stones of enormous weight placed upon their chests, in their vain attempt to escape from which they struggled till life became extinct. As for the native peasant women, be:ides other indignities and brutalities, they were subjected, occasionally, to the dreadful lacera tion of wild cats, who were introduced within the ample folds of their habiliments. These, and a thousand other atrocities, have long been habitually committed, with the knowledge of COLETTI, unpunished, un restrained. The people of Messina, and other places, hare sent over petitions imploring the interference of • this country to put a stop to these infernal practices, so utterly disgraceful to the Greek Government, to the age, to all Christendom, and to universal civilisation. And surely, not without reason, might these unhappy people turn their eyes to England, seeing that we took the principal share in constituting their present state an independent sovereignty; that we are, with other Powers guarantees for the integrity of that state; that we ad vanced to the Greek Government a large pecuniary loan, ,n the repayments of which that Government is large in arrear ; and that we hold, as a security for those repayments, a power to impound, at any time, the principal sources of the national revenue, and aro entitled there,mt to repay ourselves. Ssurely, without resorting to any armed intervention by expensive armaments, we are in ample condi tion, under these circumstances, to insist on the miserable servants of the half imbecile monarch of a so vereignty, to say the If ast of it, in a state of tutelage as to ourselves and the other guaranteeing powers, desisting from the countenance thus given by them to these revolt. ing excesses—to insist on the dismissal of a Minister whose machinery of government is five centuries behind that of all other European kingdoms—to insist on re spect for the rights of a people who hold a constitution to whieh the faith of the King has been solemnly and irrevocably pledged, despite the scandalous violitions of it whith he permits or perpetrates every day. We hope that Parlament, whilst it will assuredl affirm the doctrine of non-intervention, wherever it can be honourably—and even safely—acted on, will elicit from our own Government some more energetic and intelli gible declarations than any which have yet been elicited from the cold and vague responses of Lord ABERDEEN or Sir ROBERT PEEL. They have but to speak a: becomes the Ministers of an English Constitutional Sovereign—and these scandals of our times must cease, the Greeks be reinstated in their just rights, and COLETTI and his myrmidons be dismissed to the infamy and obscurity their crimes have so justly merited. Madrid papers to the 25th have arrived. They contain the official announcement of the arrival of the QUEEN, her mother, and her sister at Saragossa on the 23d. They were greeted throughout their route with expressions of the most enthu siastic loyalty. The Eco del Cornercio states that the PorE, in agreeing to the expulsion of the Jesuits from France, made it a condi tion that the French Government should support the preten sions of the Count DE MONTEMOLIN to the hand of Queen ISABELLA. of July 16, 1840, fur the Transatlantic service, but which has not yet beets tstablished. In consequence of this order, the naval division of 26 ships on the western coast of Africa, under the command of Admiral MON TAGNIES DE LAROQUE, with Capt. BOUET WILLUISMES, se cond in command, will be thus composed, viz., Steamers: Caraibe, of 430 horse-power, bearing the Admiral's flag; the Caiman, the Elan, the Espadon, the Phoque, of 220 horse power each ; the Australie, the Euphrate, and the Narval, of 160 horse•power each. Sailing vessels—The sloop-of•war the Camille, of 430 tons; the sloops—the Indienne, and the Infatigable, of 380 tons each ; the brigs-of•war Grenadier. of 20 guns, and the Abeille, of 18 guns ; the Advice brigs— the Alcyonne, the Bougainville, the Cigogne, the -Comete, the Fleche, the Leger, the Papillon, the Itossignol, and the Surprise ; thischooners the Amaranthe, the Hirondelle, the Jonquille, and the Fine. The Constitutionnel is very violent in its protests against England fur binding Brazil to her engagement for the sup pression of the slave trade, and denounces the conduct of the British authorities and Government as a violation of the rights of nati ,ns. A letter from Zurich, of the 27th, in the Constitutionnel, says : The following is the account of the discovery of the con spiracy at Malaga, to which we made allusion yesterday. The account was brought by the courier from Andalusia : " The Andalusia mail," says a letter, " has just brought us some news of interest from Malaga. As early as the 19th, the Go. vernor of that city had been secretly apprised that a conspiracy had been formed, and that it was to break out on the 21st. He had sent this information to the Infante Don Enrique, whose ship was in the port, and the Prince, after concerting with the Governor, had gone out to sea. Matters were in this state when, on the even ing of the 20th, a sergeant of the provincial regiment of Jaen waited on the Governor, General Caminero, handed to him some money given to him as a bribe, and disclosed the whole of the plot. About a thousand old National Guards were at a given signal to have repaired to the Merced Gate, and, relying on various sergeants and soldiers, the conspirators expected to obtain a supply of arms, to surprise the authorities, and to appoint a direct ing Junta, in the name of Espartero's regency and of the Constitu tion of 1837. General Caminero hastened to the Merced barracks, ordered the troops to arms, addressed the soldiers, and summoned before him seven sergeants implicated in the plot. Three of them immediately avowed all, and the rest of them soon did the same. The General) forthwith instituted a Council of War, for the punishment of the guilty, and numerous arrests promptly followed . A house was surrounded and entered by the police, in which a rather large quantity of war ammunition was discovered. After adopting these measures, the Governor demanded further instruc tions of the Captain-General, who resides at Grenada. On the 21st Malaga was perfectly quiet." " The greatest uncertainty rtill bangs over the death of M. Leu, and the utmost activity of the Lucerne police, aided by that of the adjoining cantons, only give rise to vague suspicions. What is certain is that the Government of Lucerne,six days after the event, was not in possession of any information of a nature to lead to the discovery of the guilty party. The police has issued orders to Madame Stvigcr to quit the Canton of Lucerne without delay, or else she should be forcibly expelled by gendarmery. She was con sequently compelled to abandon her children, and depart by night to Zurich, where she arrived on the 26th. On the following day, another order was issued ordering the children to leave the city, which took place under the care of a faithful domestic. The pro ceedings of the Diet are without interest." The Duke of MONTPENSIER arrived on the Bth at Cairo, where he was received by IBRAHIM PACHA. On the 9th he left for Suez, with ABBAS PACHA, one of the Viceroy's grand sons. At Suez he visited the steam corvette, the Archimedes, and the English Bombay steamer, the Victoria. He returned to Cairo on the 13th, and left for Upper Egypt on the follow. ing day. The Grand Duke COxSTANTINE arrived at Smyrna' on the 11th. On the evening of the 9th a fire broke out in a large warehouse, but was extinguished through the exertions of the crews of an Austrian and a French vessel. The schooner Elizabetta returned to Smyrna from Ourlac on the 9th inst., with detachments of marines from the Bellone frigate and the Venetto brig, which were placed at the disposal of the com mandant of the Adria, until tranquillity should be re •esta blished in the city. Advices from Athens are to the 13th. M. PISCATORY, the French Ambassador, was endeavouring to keep the Greek Cabinet together by bringing about an understanding be tween Cor.t.t.m and General Gatiosons.

GREAT FIRES AT QUEBEC. —The High Bailiff of Westminster has received two letters from the Mayor of Quebec, begging him to bring under the notice of the citizens of Westminster the distressed situation of the inhabitants of Quebec, occasioned by the two fires which have taken place there on the 28th May and 28th June last. By the first fire 1,650 dwellings and two churches were destroyed, and 12,000 inhabitants were left without house, food, clothing, or bedding. By the last fire 1,200 dwellings, two places of worship, three sell oolhow es, with stores and outbuildings, were destroyed, and at the time of his writing to the High Bailiff, he states there were 15,000 inhabitants scattered over the fields, without , thelte ror food and he suggests to the High Bailiff that contributions of clothing, bedding, building materials— bricks, slates, tiles, tin, iron, nails, glass, and other Articles of hardware used in building—should be for warded to Quebec, addressed to Alexander Simplon, Esq., Treasurer of the Relief Committee. Any of the citizens of Westminster who feel dispost d to respond to this application may have further particulars given to them at the High Bailiff's, 40, Jermyn street, St. James', and he will thankfully receive any money donations on this account which may be remitted to hiw. Sir James Graham left town this morning for Osborne house, Isle of Wight, on a visit to her Majesty. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) A letter from St. Sebastian, dated July 28, announces that the Queen of SPAIN arrived at Pampeluna on the afternoon of that day, and that she would proceed from thence to the baths of Santa Agueda, by way of Vittoria, and afterwards visit Gilboa.

ZWEIVITGATZI AND I.E4II.DIUNtLIS.A.L. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The Journal des Debats gives the following, which may be consi dered an official contradiction of the statement made by Lord rALMERSTON, relying with authority on the Anti- Slavery Reporter, that France had entered into a treaty with the Imaum of MUSCAT for the revival of the slave trade " Who, then, could doubt the existence of this document. Lord Palmerston was able to give himself the satisfaction of causing a momentary embarrassment to both Sir Robert Peel and Lord Aberdeen in their turns; and he was able to enjoy another not less lively gratification, that of seeing his accusation republished in France by several journals, who hastened to borrow from the . Anti-Slavery Reporter the convention with which the French Go vernment had been reproached. Unfortunately for Lord Palmer ston, and for those who amongst us made themselves the echoes of his assertions, the convention alluded to does not exist, and never has existed. It was only the rough draft of a treaty which never for one moment had the approbation of the French Govern ment. Lord Palmerston confounded this project with a treaty which has been really entered into between the Imaum in Muscat, and M. Romain Desfassi!s, commandant of the station of the Isle of Bourbon, and the principal clauses of which we published some months past. The Imaum of Muscat, Seid Said, a powerful, active, and truly intelligent Prince, removed his resi dence some time since from Muscat, near the Persian Gulf, to Zanzibar, on the eastern coast of Africa, where he entered into extensive agricultural undertakings, and, it may be added, made remarkable attempts at promoting civilisation. The governor of the Island of Bourbon, from which Zanzibar is not far distant, struck with the efforts and the success of this Prince, entered into communication with him, and through the intermediation of a young and brave officer of the navy, Lieutenant Kerdudal, pro posed to provide for one of the most essential wants of the Island of Bourbon—hands to carry on agriculture, which was rapidly pro gressing. His object was to procure from the African states of the Imaum labourers not in the character of negro slaves, but .as free labourers. To the credit of the negotiator it must be Said, that every precaution was taken to prevent negroes thud procured from being considered slaves. Still, however, this recruiting for negroes offered some resemblance to the slave trade, for it might give rise on the African soil to some of those acts of violence which characterised that abominable traffic, so strongly reprobated by all civilised nations. The act entered into between the Imaum and M. Kerdudal on the 20th April, 1845, was not to be of any value, or be attended with any practical con sequences, until after it had received the sanction of the French Government, to whom it was transmitted from Suez. The reply of the Government was promptly given. It admitted that the system of recruiting for free labourers, in spite of the guarantees with which it was sought to surround it, gave rise to questions of the most delicate and difficult nature with regard to the suppression of the slave trade. The negotiation was not, consequently, ap proed of, and an order was for earded to the Governor of Bourbon not to carry his project any further. A circum stance worthy of being noticed, and which reflects the greatest honour on the Imaum also took place. The Sovereign himself, who forbids the slave trade in his states, had perceived in the interval, after placing his signaiure to the convention, thatit might be interpreted as opening a door to a traffic in negroes, and had thereupon dispatched his Prime Minister to Bourbon to have it annulled, It was at this time that the refusal of the sanc tion of the French Government was received. The Go vernment, however, did not intend to relinquish the benefits which might be derived for the commerce of the country from a treaty with the Ireaurn. It entered into direct communication with Seid Said, and Romain Desfosses was invested with the' necessary powers to negotiate in the name of the King. This time there was no allusion made to the question of labourers, and the nego tiator acquitted himself of his task with skill and promptitude. It is a treaty of commerce between France and the Biates of the lmaum, which has resu l ted from h i s conferen ce with that Prince. This document secures to our ebipping and our trade in the ports of that Sovereign advantages at least equal to those enjoyed by England and the United States.

There are accounts from Port Philip to-day of a late date, but we do not hear that there is any news of particular in terest. The colony was slightly progressing in prosperity, and it may be fairly assumed that this portion of the British . dominions will shortly be most useful to the mother country. The slaves of America, according to our most recent ad vices, are taking a movement in favour of compulsory free dom, in opposition to their masters. A body of 50 left Louisiana with the determination of fighting their way into Pennsylvania, but the majority of them were recaptured. From Maryland we have the following information :-- " This movement (in favour of liberty) of the negroea in Maryland, according to all accounts from Washington, is quite alarming. Nothing like it has taken place since the time of the great Southampton insurrection or mas sacre produced by the agitation of the abolitionists through the northern presses. No doubt this attempt of the negroes in Maryland has been produced by the same influences-the recent agitation of the slavery question, both north and south, and various movements of the abolitionists in the free States. And the worst of it is, that we can hardly hope that the mischief will stop here. There is every reason to believe that sonic still more desperate and bloody , move ment will take place ere long. The collection of an hundred negroes, and the march upon the State of Pennsylvania, would seem to indicate that a new idea has seized the minds of these creatures. What is there to prevent the organisation of large bands of negroes in all the States adjacent to free States, and a universal system of insurrection and rebellion, and all produced by the agitation of the rabid politicians and frantic fanatics who are marshalled under the banner of abo litionism ? " The weekly Bank returns show a slight decrease in notes issued in deposits in seven days' bills and in the general business of the Corporation. The total amount of banking business is now 32,639,704/. Last time it was 32,648,1391. The bullion last- time was 15,879,3321., now it is 15,838,518/., showing but a decrease of 40,8141. The return of promissory notes issued in Scotland and Ire land shows a decrease on the general result from 10,104,563/. to 9,828,038/. It is, therefore, clear that the utmost caution is being observed by all the banking establishments of the United Kingdom. Consols opened rather heavily this morning at 98% for the Account, but the price is now 98%; for Money the market is scarcely so high. Exchequer-bills are on the decline, being quoted this morning at 51s. prem. Bank Stock is no minal ; India Stock is firm at 273, and the New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. have just been sold at 102.

The Lords met at five. The Earl of BESBOROUGH brought up the report of the Committee on the case of STINTON, who had given evidence before the Dublin and Galway Railway Bill Committee. The report was to the effect that it would be inexpedient to prosecute him for perjury. On the motion for the third reading of the Bills of Exchange Bill Lord MONTEAGLE moved as an amend :cent that it should be a permanent instead of a tempo rary measure. The motion, which was supported by the Marquis of LANSDOWNE and opposed by the Earl of DALHOUSIE and the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, was rejected on a division, the numbers being for the amend ment, 9 ; against it, 37. The other Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned. The Commons met at Four o'clock. Lord COUATENAY having moved that the report on the London and York Railway be received, Mr. WARD moved as an amendment that the Bill be re-committed. The Committee, although they had been unremitting in their labours, had heard all the parties concerned. They had, in consequence, done great in justice, and he therefore moved the re-committal of the Bill. The cases of the York and North Midland, of the Midland Counties, and of the Eastern Counties lines, had been decided on by the Committee without having been heard. Mr. HUTT, who thought there was good reason to be dissatisfied with the decision of the Committee, seconded the motion. Lord COURTENAY explained the nature of the pro , ceedings before the Committee, and defended the de. cisions to which the Committee had come. After a short discussion, the amendmEnt was nega tived by a majority of 60 ; the numbers being, for the motion, 79—for the amendment, 19. . Upon the order of the day being read for going into Committee of Supply, _ Lord PALMERSTCI4 drew the attention of the House to the present state of Greece, and called upon the Go vernment to interfere to prevent the cruelty and tyranny at present practised in that country. Sir It. PEEL briefly replied ; after which, the House went into Committee, and, a vote of 20,0001. having been agreed to in behalf of the sufferers at Quebec, shortly afterwards Adjourned. The times are gone by when the dignity of humanity, the cause of the human race, being outraged by some act of signal violence or atrocity could be summarily vindicated by England with that high hand and in flexible purpose which CROMWELL displayed on more than one mi morable occasion—when BLAKE was the messenger of British resentment, and a British fleet was the vehicle which bore at once the demand of repa ration and the thunder to enforce it. It may be well that the relations of . Europe have since become too com plex, and the powers of independent states too equally balanced, to admit of the recurrence of such events nowa days.
