In the Commons, Mr. MILNER GIBSON made some SE/ ttements relative to the incendiary fires in Essex, Sfaffolk, and Norfolk, showing that they were of the msost alarming description, and that if he were to give a lengthened detail of these calamities, they would a ttonish the House. He believed, in general, the la Lourers were well-disposed. He wished to know whether the subject had occupied the attention of her ACELJESTY'S Government ? ;Sir JAMES GRAHAM concurred with the Hon. member in thinking that the labourers in general we . re well-di spose d , b ut a few individuals, from cer tau i motives of revenge, might cause much mischief. ny fires might be the work of one incendiary. The painful subject had occupied the serious attention of the Government, and every effort had been made to detect the perpetrators of such frightful crimes. In answer to a question from M r. E. BULLLR, Sir J AWES GRAHAM said he had every reason to believe the *Tit of error relative to the Irish state trials would :arrive' in London at the latest in twenty-four hours. So far tts the Government were concerned, every means - would Lie adopted to expedite the hearing of the writ, I and little .doubt existed that the que s ti on would be decided befbre the Judges went on the summer cir cuits, that is within a few days. Colonel RAWDON resumed the adjourned debate on Mr. WAAD'S motion, relative to the Irish Church, He paid a :high compliment to Mr. WARD for the persevering spirit in which he had prosecuted this im portant question, and described the principles on which he acted as purely conservative. He concluded a speech containing many sentiments entitled to the <•consideration of all parties, by stating that he trusted :the House would act in accordance with the dictates justice and common sense. Sir Jotur WALSH opposed the motion, but at the sal De time trusted a provision would be made for the Iris 1 clergy, which, he thought, would tend to tran quillise the country. ?tar. M. O'CONNELL said the time wa3, ‘,‘ hen the th clergy would gladly have accepted such a pro- AS that proposed by Sir J. WALSH, but that time Establi %vastsh( gone by. Their attempts to p i o p u p th e underr xi Chur c h in Ireland, were on l y sapp i ng and pieces. ai n i • ug it , and ere long it m us t t um bl e to After ve: 7 brief speeches from Mr. HAMILTON, Mr. DILLON BROWNE, and Mr. VERNON SMITH, Sir JAMES GRAHAM addressed the House in opposition to the motion. Lord JOHN RUSSELL followed on the other side. After long speeches by Sir ROBERT PEEL and Mr. SDEIL, Mr. WARD replb-d, and the House divided, when Ministers had a majority of 95, the numbers being 179 for the motion, and 274 against it. The House then adjourned at Half past One o'Clock. The Conservative dinner which took place last night in Covent-garden Theatre was remarkable for nothing so much as the canting and hypocritical cha racter of the various speeches of those of the party who undertook to enlighten the meeting on the sub ject of their political duties. Mr. Alderman THOMP soN—once a rigid high Tory, now a latitudinarian Conservative —presided, and, alluding to the absence of Ministers, who, it would seem, had been specially requested to attend, observed :—" He had hoped that some of the members of her MAJESTY'S Government would have been present to answer the question, What good had the Conservative Association done to the State? They had been most respectfully invited. He knew not why they were not present, but he supposed they had a good and a sufficient reason to give for such an apparent slight to such an assembly of their friends. However, at the same time he must say that the Association was not formed for the support of any particular Ministry. (Loud cheering.) It was truly a Conservative Association, and no more. Their festival was not held in honour of any Mi nistry. They were advocates of great public princi ples." The allusion in the above passage to the " apparent slight" put upon the Conservatives by the refusal of any one member of the Government to attend their dinner, is full of significance. The truth, we suspect, is, that Ministers, one and all, withheld their attendance because they did not think it worth their while to show any particular respect or deference to a party who, they well know, are left wholly at their mercy, who dare not act contrary to orders, and who are, in fact, the veriest slaves of the Downing-street authorities. Why should the "PEEL of PEELS''—as Sir JOHN lIOBHOUSE once called him in the excess of his admiration— why should the Premier or any of his colleagues take the trouble to conciliate the Conservative party, when they know that they have nothing to apprehend from their open or concealed hostility; but that they must, to a man, support them, no matter what public mea sures they may bring forward, or in what a labyrinth of inconsistency their subserviency may involve them ? It is evident that the Conservatives felt deeply the "slight" put upon them by their Ministerial task masters, by the marked manner in which, immediately afterwards, they cheered Mr. Alderman THIMPSON'S swaggering allusion to their lofty sense of in dependence. " The Association was not formed for the support of any particular Ministry ! " It was not wedded to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S system of policy—it was not bound to him by its horror of free trade, and its detestation of the innovating Whigs, and that fiendish institution, the Anti-Corn-law League ;—oh no, nothing of the sort; the Associa tion was a strictly independent one, high-minded, consistent, spirited, and patriotic ! Such may be Alderman THOMPSON'S notions of the virtues of a Society over which he so worthily presides, and of which he is such an apt representative, but such are not the notions entertained of the Conservatives by the community at large. Not an unprejudiced man in the country gives them the slightest credit for consistency and independence; or regards them in any other light than as the abject tools and sycophants of Sir ROBERT PEEL. The late divisions on the Factory question have quite set at rest the question of Conservative manliness and good faith, and show this amiable party in its true colours. But if Conservatism—as the worthy Al derman would have the world believe—" was not formed for the support of any particular Ministry," what becomes of the boast which the Premier made a few years since in the House of Commons, to the effect, that he himself was the founder of this new- fangled, convenient political faith, and had built up the party professing it, of course with a view to the support of his own opinions ? As to Alderman Tnompsores concluding remark, that the Conservatives " were advocates of great public prin ciples," perhaps he will be considerate enough to en lighten us on the subject of the " great principles" which are honoured by their advocacy. We know of no " principle" to which they are wedded, unless indeed it be the "great" one of monopoly; but firmly believe that in their speeches as well as in their votes they are influenced only by the basest sense of ex pediency. name of the Christian League, (firdetis Christian°, a league composed of individuals of every nation, and which is to be further increased in numbers by other auxiliary Societies, all having the same object, viz., to propagate amongst Italians, and especially Romans, the principles of Christian liberty, or rather an insane in difference to all religion." This passage speaks for itself. How melancholy must be the conviction of inherent moral religious weakness which is thus appalled at the notion of its pretensions being tested by " principles of Christian liberty," and which attempts to disparage the force and authority of those principles by affecting to treat them as amounting to an " insane indifference to all religion !" What an invaluable text-book must this production be to the Oxford emulators of this Sove reign Pontiff! Madrid journals of the sth inst. have been received. Some of them at length admit the deplorable state of the finances, and the Herald() announces the following scheme in the present desperate state of affairs : " The creditors of the State have held a meeting, and ap pointed a Committee, which is to come to an understanding with the Government, to represent such interests as may con sider themselves injured, and discuss the questions that have been started. This Committee is, however, to take the ad vice of another, ca ll e d the consulting Committee.' The former consists of MM. Carriguiry, O'Shea, Campana, Murza, and another capitalist. A proposal is talked of, the object of which would be to d ec id e th e f a t e o f th e floating debt. rile lenders would engage to advance 1,500,000,000, and receive from the Government new coupons of Three per Cents., at thirty, on condition, however, that should that paper obtain a higher price at the Madrid Boiza, in the course of next July, the payment would be made at the highest rate. The Government would receive from the lenders 90 per cent. in Treasury bills, for their whole nominal value, and ten per cent. in specie, and the latter would engage to exchange the bills for new coupons, at a discount of ten per cent. The tobacco revenue would be devoted to the payment of the interest on the coupons, whether the tobacco be farmed out, or the Government should again collect its revenue. In the first case, it is proposed that the Company's notes be re ceived by the San Fernando bank, and, in the second, that the delegates of that bank in the provinces be entrusted with the collection of the revenue; should it not suffice, the deficiency would be supplied out of the quicksilver produce. As it is probable that this scheme will undergo modifica tions before it is carried into execution, we shall abstain from discussing it." The Three per Cents. were done at 271 for cash, and 274 at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 20 for cash. WAR BETWEEN FRANCE AND MOROCCO. Some of our Contemporaries have published a very ong and lachrymose circular letter from his Holiness he POPE, to all patriarchs, primates, archbishops, and hishops, imploring each and every of his "venerable brethren" to aid in the good work of putting down— Bible Societies. These Societies the Holy Father anathematises as among the most successful, and therefore dangerous, of the " many attempts which the enemies of Catholicism, under whatever denomi nation, are daily making, in our age, to seduce the really faithful," &c. His Holiness reminds his bre thren that the Societies in question were " originally instituted in England, arid have since been propagated throughout the universe." Since Sir ROBERT PEEL'S solemn exorcism of the Birmingham and London currency heretics, who are for having the circulation of money unrestrained by a gold standard of value at an irrevocably fixed price per ounce—much in the same way as our Low Churchmen and Dissenters are for having the circulation of the Bible unfettered by the arbitrary restraints of texts and comment—we have witnessed no manifestation of alarm so whimsi cal or so earnest as that which pervades this pastoral letter. Had it been less satisfactorily authenticated, we should have really imagined that it must have been originally addressed to the famous author of the Puseyite tract, on the " concealment of doctrine" in certain cases ; for it advocates the identical principles contended for by the Tractarians, in treating of the danger of putting the Sacred Scriptures indiscrimi nately into the bands of the laity. In short this pon tifical circular is a bull of excommunication fulmi nated against all Exeter Hall, and " the Society's house in Earl-street, Blaclifriars ;" a voice of woe and wailing raised against the dissemination of the Bible. We cannot imagine a more emphatic or honourable testimony to the objects and the results of their dis interested efforts who have devoted their energies, their time, and their means, to the gratuitous comma ' nice tion of the original law of GOD, and of the glorious precepts and maxims of Christianity to the once be nighted nations or the world ; whose races—without this sacred code of religious instruction, and moral and social duty, —even the civilising influence of our own communication and intercourse would not have sufficed to rai-e from the depths of abject superstition and debasement, to the contemplation and the worship of the true GOD. If, in these sacred Scriptures, there were not some pervading, self-illustrating principle of truth ; some elementary self-proving , ethics,—which taught and accurately defined and distinguished between our re lative duties towards the DEITY and towards our fel low-creatures ; the ancient spirit of ecclesiastical en croachm-nt, of hierarchical despotism would surely not be quite so sensitive, nor betray so much of irritability in reference to a system that merely supplies the text of that law, to which, even the tyrannic jurisdiction that has been superinduced upon it by fraudulent pretensions and subtle glosses, and f ibricated testimonials, professes to be subject. When a spiritual leader like the present POPE—a man, to the simplicity and benevolence of whose Personal character European travellers of all coun tries and persuasions have paid the tribute of re spect and regard—is betrayed into such vehement terms as he employs against the venders of unmuti lated and. . uninterpret e d Bibl es and Testaments, as those winch are s ca tt ered through this circular, we may well imagine that there are some latent reasons for his anger besides those which appear on the face of his documentary reprobation. Thus, his Holiness twits the Bible Societies with being obnoxious to the complaints formerly made by Saint JEROME, against intermeddling and un qualified teachers of the Word, in the primitive ages of the Church :—" They pretend to popularise the holy pages, and render them intelligible Without the aid of any interpreter, to persons of every condi- tion—to the most loquacious woman, to the light- headed old Muni, and to Me wordy caviller." The POPE then cites the language of Saint PETER, in re ference to the Epistles of Saint PAUL, and the advice of the former, the " Prince of the Apostles," to the Church of his day, to beware lest " they be led away by the error of the wicked, and so fall from their own steadfastness."—(2 Peter, c. iii., v. 16.) He takes credit to the Church of Rome, that it has, in all ages, been careful to provide for the exposition of the Scrip tures to the people, by duly qualified and authorised teachers ; and he appeals to the constitutions of the Councils of Trent, Lateran (the fourth in 1215), and Rome (in 1795, under BENEDICT XIII.) But really, the excerpta collected by his Holiness, out of the Acts of these Councils, do not appear to us much to have assisted his case. Thus : " In the first place, it is known that, by the decrees of the Holy Council of Trent, bishops are enjoined to see that the Holy Scrip ures and divine laws be more fre quently' taught in their dioceses." We are at liberty, then, to infer that either the Church, at this period, had not provided sufficient means for the frequent teaching of the Holy Scrip tures to the people, or that, if provided, those means had fallen into neglect, so long ago as the beginning of the sixteenth century. And yet those means, whatever they ss ere—and that teaching, whatever its degree of efficiency—were improvements, ex tensions, upon the means and the teaching that had previously existed. For (he adds)— " It is known that, even exceeding the prescriptions of the Council of Lateran (1215), the Counbil of Trent re commends that there should be in the several cathedral churches and collegiates of the towns and cantons a sti pend provided for a doctor of divinity, and that none should be appointed to that office but a man fully com petent to teach and expound the Holy Scriptures." Now, the amount of Scriptural instruction, and the provision of means to dispense it, thus exceeding the prescriptions of the Lateran Council, still seem to has e been miserably inadequate for their avowed objects. No wonder that, as the letter proceeds, the indigna tion of the POPE waxes still hotter and fiercer, but most especially against a certain new Christian League now forming in the United States, which is thus adverted to : " Many precise advices and documents teach us that a vast number of sects in New York, in America, at one of their meetings held on the 4th of June, la,t year, have formed a new Association, which will take the received this morning by the Minister of War, a skirmish took place on our territory between the troops of Lieutenant ! General Lamoriciere, and 1,400 or 1,500 cavalry of Abd-el j Bokhari, and 500 Arab cavalry, in front of Ouchda. Not withstanding this mad echaufirouree, which might reasonably be attributed to one of those acts contrary to discipline, so ordinary in similar services, but which, moreover, was rudely chastised, we persist in believing that the regular troops, under the command of El Guenaoni, will look twice before they commence hostilities seriously. If, against our expec tation, the Emperor of Morocco was so badly advised as to attack us, the good dispositions taken by General Lamori ciere, the co-operation of General Bedeau, who came from Tlemcen to support him, and the presence of Marshal Bugeaud upon the point of our frontier which is threatened, and where he must be at the present moment, would not fail to cause this Sovereign to repent of having yielded to the instigations and threats of Abd-el-Kader. "Lieutenant-General Lr moriciere, commanding the pro vince of Oran, to Marshal Bugeaud, Governor- General of Algeria. " At the Bivouac and near the Marabout of Lidi Aziz, the 30th of May, 1844. " M. le Marechal—No answer has yet been returned by the Morocco chieftain, Si Ali Ben Tajile el Geudoui to my letter, of which I had the honour to send you a copy, with the translation. Desiring to have news, I induced, on the evening of the 25th, one of eur Arabs, a person worthy of confidence, to pass the frontier, and to repair to some of his emigrant relatives, whence he brought me the following information : " My letter, as I was already told, was sent to Fez, and M. Genavoni had ordered every officer to attend to the orders of the Emperor. llowever, this assemblage of 7,000 or 8,000 ca valry, and numerous infantry who received neither provi sions for themselves, nor barley for their horses, had, in a few days raised the price of .every article of consumption at Ouchda, and they had commenced ravaging the adjoining fields of barley. A quarrel, of which I could not well dis cover the cause, occurred between the troops of the Emir Abd-el-Kader to the amount, it was said, of 500 infantry and 300 cavalry, and the cavalry of the Caid des Alois Amdona. There were killed and wounded on both sides. El Genaoui was obliged to take horse with the Abd-el-Bokhari to se parate the combatants, and despairing of keeping together any longer this hungry crowd, he dismissed the contingent of the tribes on the 25th until after the harvest." "'Phis intelligence, however good the source, required con firmation. If it were true I ought to have a proof of it by some proceedings on the part of the tribes who had left us for the last fifteen days. At length the Djalcalla sent me two of their chiefs, who announced their fear to appear before me in consequence of their unc ,, rtain conduct, which alone pre vented the other tribes of Sahal and Nechronia, and the chief of that town. I desired them to tell the Caid that the time had come to declare himself a friend or an enemy, and that I would go to meet him. " On the morning of the 28th, all the works of the fort of Alia Magina being in a sufficient state of forwardness, I en camped at Hamman Chika, on the Oned Monilah, and here yesterday. I commenced at the same time to feed my ca valry with the barley of the emigrant tribe of Ouled 'Man sour. My approach caused all hesitation to cease. I re ceived, yesterday, the caids and chiefs of Nechronia and the Djabolka. They announced to me the Souhalia for to-day. They paid me the tribute in money, and the number of horses that I had imposed on them, and I did not think it right to require more fro m them under the difficult circumstances in which they were placed. I had from them, besides, a con firmation of all I had before heard, and I therefore hesitate not to write to you. The war appears to be adjourned, but it is not yet peace. " I have not yet received an answer from you to my letter of the 10th, in w hi c h I f i rst mentioned the hostile prepara tions of Morocco. " I have no knowledge of the communications which ought to have taken place between our Consul-General at Tangier and the government of Muley Abderahman. The partial attempts against our tribes have not ceased. In fine, I have still before me a number of regular troops, so that war may commence by simply assembling the tribes dismissed for the present. These regular troops are, Abd el-Kader, with 500 infantry and 300 cavalry, at Guenfonda, not far from Maassen Ceranossena ; el Kebibi, with 300 infantry and 600 cavalry; el Genaoui, the last arrived, with 400 men. We perceive distinctly from this the Morocco camp, and its extent is proportioned to the force assigned to it. " In this situation, 1 do mot think it my duty- to depart from the•precautions which I have commanded, and I main tain the same disposition of the troops. " LAMORICIERE." "Camp under Lall, Magruia, May 30, " 10 o'clock in the evening. " M. le Marchal—l had just concluded this morning the report which you will find under the envelope which covers the present, and I was about to send it off, when I was ap , prised that a line of cavalry showed themselves on the plain, at about two leagues from us, and was marching towards the camp. Half an hour afterwards the entire camp of the Mo rocco troops appeared distinctly with their colours at their head on the borders of the Monilah, 200 sharpshooters took the lead; the entire troops presented themselves in the order of battle, ordinarily assumed by the Arab cavalry. I had caused my troops to take their arms, to load the baggage, and I was ready to act. At eleven o'clock the advanced guard of their cavalry fired upon our main guard before a word had been interchanged. We were attacked at two leagues within our frontier, and at the expiration of some minutes we were compelled to return the fire. " I then began to descend towards the plain, driving before me the enemy's cavalry. General Bedeau, with the Zouaves and the Bth an d 9th battalions of Orleans, held the right. Colonel Roguet,:with the 10th battalion of Chasseurs, and two battalions of his regiment, held the left and guarded the convoy. Colonel Morris marched in column on the left with five squadrons. " The firing became extremely warm on the right in front of the Zonaves, and before the Bth battalion of Chasseurs. We had before us from 1,200 to 1,400 cavalry of the Abd-el- Bokari, and 500 or 600 Arab cavalry. The enemy's cavalry engaged in considerable numbers between our column of the right and the wall of rocks, which form the side of the valley whence we descended. I purposely suffered them to prolong the engagement. During three quarters of an hour the Mo roCco cavalry sustained afire which cost them a large num ber of men and horses. Several times they reached the sharp shooters of the Zouaves, and one of them crossed through them to attack the Captain Adjutant-Major of Chasseurs, who was wounded. It will be seen from the subjoined dispatches that war has actually commenced between Morocco and France, According to the report of General Lamoriciere to Mar-. shal Bugeaud, the troops of the Emperor, or rather those of a Chief who owes him allegiance, began the attack on the 30th of May; the French troops, who had been on their guard for some days, watching the move• ments of the Arabs, immediately acted on the offensive, descended into a plain near the supposed frontier be tween Algiers and Fez, and, after some sharp fighting, put the enemy completely to rout. The French suffered very little loss, having only twenty-five men wounded, two of them severely, while 300 of the Moorish ca valry were cut to pieces, and the remainder, amount. ing to about 1,700 cavalry, under the chief Abd-el- Bokari, took to flight. It appears to have been a rash and ill- concerted attack on the part of the Moors. They had no infantry—they dashed with wild enthusiasm into the middle of the French, and being purposely encou raged by Lamoriciere to advance till the proper moment for attacking them had arrived, a large portion of them were separated from the main body and annihilated. It is evident that these irregular and barbarous troops have no chance whatever with disciplined so'diers, commanded by skilful generals, and that unless the Emperor makes satisfaction for this unex pected assault, and 3 ields to the French Government, both Tangiers and Mogador will soon be in the hands of the French. The Government of France are making every preparation for such a purpose. According to a Tou lon journal the affairs of Morocco are drawing the attention of the King and his Ministers. The Tonlonuaise states that " several regiments of the line, besides the 36th, are to be immediately embarked for Algeria. A great commotion is observable in the ports and roads. The steam frigate AstnotlL, detached from the evolutionary squadron, the Labrador, Orenoque, the steam corvette Cuvier, and other ships of war, are being prepared for sea. Vice-Admiral Parseval, who arrived at Toulon yesterday in the A5m00.6..?, with his lady, has gone on board the Souverain, to make choice of men to complete the crews of the ships belonging to the evolutionary In the Chamber of Deputies on Monday a discussion squadron, and which is about to proceed shortly to the took place on the improvement of the harbours of Bor coasts of Morocco."

This charge, supported by other squadrons, separated the mass of the enemy's cavalry into two, and drove near 200 of them between the rocks and the line of our sharpshooters. The greater number of them were sabred ; 30, at least, remained on the field. Three standards were captured. The rest fled i n th e greatest dis order towards Ouchda. Thirty horses, with their harness, remained in the hands of our Chasseurs and sharpshooters. In a word, we saw on the ground, as well before the Zouaves as where the charge was made, 50 men, and from 20 to 25 horses killed. More than 20 killed and a number of wounded were removed before our eyes. The Black Cavalry showed itself on this its first appearance much more enterprising than we were accustomed to find the Arab Zouaves We had, on our side, 25 wounded (two will mast probably not recover), two horses killed and six wounded.

THE SUSSEX PEERAGE. Their Lordships sat to-day in a Committee for Privileges upon the case of the claim of Sir Augustus D'Este to the Dukedom of Sussex. Among the Peers present we noticed the Lord Chancellor, Lord Denman, Lord Brougham, Lord Langdale, Lord Cottenham, Lord Auckland, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Cloncurrv, Viscount Strangford, the Earl of Redesdale, Lord Campbell, and others. The greater por tion of the Judges were also in attendance. Previous to the commencement of the proceedings a long private conversa tion took place between the law Peers of the House. Shortly before eleven o'clock their Lordships proceeded to consider the claim of Sir Augustus D'Este, and witnesses were called to the bar. Mr. L. WALKER produced the patent of his late Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, which was read. Lord CAMPBELL said, all these are honours, I believe, of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland? Mr. WALKER said they were. He was Comptroller of his late Royal Highness's household at the time of his death. The witness then put in several letters, which he deposed to be in the hadwriting of the late Duke of Sussex, from which we extract the following passagPs:— " Augusta, with this note I send thee a ring, such a one as I trust soon to be able to put on thy linger myself. I kissed it. I have put it upon the Bible, and repeated to myself the oath I took last night. Keep it always, and never let it go from thy finger ; thus prays thy friend, thy lover, thy future husband." " I have given you my most sacred word of honour, my Augusta, to be your husband, and none other but yours. wrote it to you most sacredly upon my knees, and as sacredly I perform this ceremony again, which my heart dictates, and which I am resolved to keep, whatever may happen. As I hope to be saved in the last day, 0 God ! I promise to take Augusta Murray for my wife ; for better for worse, and none other but her. Though not present, my soul, have sworn this upon the Bible in presence of the Almighty; my Creator is my witness; what other one but Him do I want; who else but our all-merciful Father can judge me? all this I write, and have wrote upon my knees, and promise thee, my heart's delight, I will wed none other but thee, and thee only." _ _ Should our marriage here not succeed, I must then fall upon other plans, for we must meet alone first, that is certain ; it is necessary for our mutual happiness and good. We owe this to ourselves, for our feelings will be such that we shall want no witnesses but ourselves ; we must have none ; we will have none but us two ; and now I come to repeat the first part, that should our marriage not here take place, it makes no difference in our lot, though in our happiness, for we are bound to marry one another by everything that is sacred. It will be only delayed then, and next year lam of age, so may act for myself; and my first object will be you, for I am ever yours, and all yours, as I hope for salva tion, so bless me God ! I only repeated this to my treasure, in order that, should anything happen, she may know what she is about. As for the Abbe's inquiring among the Greek priests, I see no use, I own ; for I doubt if our marriage through one of them would be more valid than through a Roman one. I talk openly you see, as I think, and as I have always acted, and always will act. however, I trust he has wrote to Leghorn this evening, according to his pro mise. Whatever may happen, and will happen, in whatever situation I may be, I shall be always Augusta's, my dearest Augusta's husband, her warmest, her truest friend, the man to whom she will reveal every thought, every uneasiness, who will act the same by her, and whom this mutual confidence and trust will ever, must ever, make happy. The moment you tell me, treasure, my treasure, to speak to Mr. Gunn, I will, and not before ; and in everything I will use the utmost exertion, the utmost interest, and the utmost circumspection, looking upon myself as the chosen guardian of Augusta's honour, by the will of God, and by her own inclination, which are to me the two strongest, the two dearest ties."

This was an action directed from the Court of Chancery, arising out of the bankruptcy of Copeland and Co., of Liver pool.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Baron ROLFE.) SPILLER V. MASON. The Court was engaged all the morning with the above case, which was an action brought by the plaintiff to compel the defendant to effect certain repairs in a house in Clare street, Clare-market. The chief point in dispute was to fix the defendant as the tenant, but the details of the case and the evidence, so far as it bad proceeded, were of the most dry and uninteresting character. The matter appeared likely to occupy the attention of the Court for the rest of the day. MONE YAND, COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUAR7'ER TO THREE The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 6,500 bales, there being considerable firmness in prices. Specula tors took 1,000 bales, and exporters 300 bales.—Railway Shares were rather better, and Birmingham ra lli e d t o 2164, the Thirds to 354, and Grand Junction to 216. Birmingham and Gloucester were 92; Chester and Birken head, 30; Eastern Counties, 114 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 664 ; Midland Counties, 924 ; North Midland, 924 ; Scottish Central, 21. 7s. As the arrivals of produce from every quarter are at present so large, owing to a change of wind, business is rather checked, and buyers feel that they shall have an ample stock from which to make a selection. The advices from New York are still satisfactory in refer ence to trade, though we apprehend that the high tariff of the United States is forcing the extension a its domestic manufactures to the injury of its own consumers certainly, but, at the same time, to that of the foreign shipper also. The Texas annexation affair engrosses still a great deal of attention, and does not assume a better aspect, although if Congress should adjourn there may be no more thought of it. In Canada commerce was active, and the effect of the amended corn-law will be to send us largesupplies, especially as the season here continues so dry, and of which intimation can so speedily be sent across the Atlantic. We understand that the banking interest have some hopes of inducing Sir Robert Peel to takeethe five years' average for the circulation. We almost doubt it ; strong as the feel ing is becoming against the Premier, not only among traders, but landholders, the more his measure is discussed. The Public Securities are very quiet, and there is some flatness in the quotations, owing to the A mer i can news. There is also more dema n d for money.. Bank Stock has been worth 194; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents have receded to 1014 4; India Stock for Account is 285. In the Foreign Market there has been also a want of animation. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 224 to 4 ; and the Three per Cents., 344 to 4, being tolerably steady. Mexican have ralliei slightly from the depression of yester day, being 34 to A for the Actives, and 144 for the Deferred. Buenos Ayres have been quiet at 36. Portuguese Converted have improved a little, viz, to 464, but are not buoyant. Dutch Two -and-a-Half per Cents. have realised 614, and the Five per Cents., 1004 to 4. There is very little doing in Railway Shares, which have a tendency to droop. Bristol and Exeter are 9, and Bristol and Gloucester 164 premium. Birmingham have been heavy again at 1124 to 115 premium. Brighton are steady, and South-Eastern lower. French lines are not so good. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.)

INSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY IN RE WM. ENGLISH. The insolvent in this case, who had carried on business as a publican at Turnham-green, had been before the Court on a former day, when the case was adjourned, in order that he might give up this house and other pi operty for the benefit of his creditors. The insolvent again appeared in Court to-day, when Mr. Cooke prayed for judgment. The COURT sentenced the insolvent to be imprisoned for five months from the date of his vesting order. Several unopposed insolvents, in whose cases there appeared no feature of general interest, were discharged -upon their petitions. CRIMINAL COURT.--(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron GURNEY.) THE ROBBERY AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—TIIiS morning, Elizabeth, Lindsay, aged 37, spinster, Ellen Lindsay, aged 33, spinster, and James Lindsay, 60, surgeon, were placed at the bar, the females charged with stealing several blankets, seve ral sheets and counterpanes, and a quantity of linen, value 401., the property of our Sovereign Lady the Queen, their mistress; and James Lindsay with feloniously receiving the same, well knowing them to h ave b een sto l en. The Solicitor-General and Mr. Adolphus appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Kelly, Q.C., Mr. Bodkin, Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Ballantine, defended the prisoners. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL having stated the case for the prosecution, Mr. ADOLPHUS proceeded to call the witnesses in support of the first indictment, there being several against the pri soners. The case was proceeding when we went to press, and would, in all probability, last the remainder of the day. --- QUEEN-SQUARE.-(THIS DAY.) Joseph Bowers, a journeyman chimney-sweeper, was charged with disorderly conduct in the streets, and with assaulting the police. Policeman 157 B saw the defendant and some other sweeps in Queen's-buildings, Knightsbridge. He was jumping, shouting, and making other discordant noises, and throwing his coat, which was, as may be imagined, none of the clean est, at persons who passed. Witness cautioned him, and de sired him to desist, but, instead of doing so, he made use of threatening and obscene language. Knowing the defendant to be a dangerous character, and as he was in the habit of boasting that whenever taken into custody, six policemen were invariably required to do so, he obtained the assistance of other constables, who assisted him in taking the defendant into custody. Six policemen were, as usual, required for the purpose, some of whom were severely struck and kicked by the defendant, who refused to walk, and they experienced the utmost difficulty in getting hini to the station-house, in the way to which he swore that when he was at liberty he would prevent them from taking any other persons into cus tody. The defendant said he had been drinking, and had no re collection of having been guilty of so much violence. He was fined 405., and in default to be committed for a month. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Frances Robinson, a genteel-looking girl, 15 years of age, was charged with robbing her parents, under the following circumstances : Mrs. Mary Ann Robinson, the mother of the girl, who was so deeply affected that she could scarcely be kept from faint ing while giving her evidence, stated that she was residing with her husband and another of her daughters, in Little Pulteney-street, Golden-square. Every possible care had been taken in bringing up the prisoner, but within the last six months she had formed a connexion with several dissolute lads and girls of her own age in the neighbourhood, and had become a most wicked and abandoned girl, frequently re maining out all night. She (witness) had begged of her with tears, and on her knees, to desist front her evil courses, but without the slightest effect. A few days ago, she, during the absence of her parents front home,broke open a box and stole a writing desk, a tea caddy, and a valuable shawl, with which She absconded ; and her parents heard no more of her until she was taken into custody by the police. The shawl was afterwards discovered to have been pawned by her at a pawn broker's in the neighbourhood, but no trace of the other pro perty had been discovered. The mother added that she attributed her daughter's ruin to her being enticed to a sing ing and dancing=room 'at a public-house in Earl-street, Seven-dials, where there was nightly an assemblage of front fifty to one hundred girls and boys, some of the former not more than twelve years of age ; smoking and drinking were permitted, and scenes of the most disgusting profligacy took place. Mr. HARDWICK gave peremptory orders for measures to be instantly taken for the punishment of the proprietor of the room in question. Mrs. Robinson said she was afraid that if some restraint was not put on the prisoner she would come to an untimely and shameful end. Mr. HARDWICK said it might appear very severe to her feelings, but under all the circumstances she had better pro secute. The Court might, perhaps, send the prisoner to some asylum. Mrs. Robinson said she should adopt the magistrate's ad vice, and the priioner was accordingly committed. DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAIL.
