The principal business before the House of Lord's last night was the second reading of the Bill for unit r ing the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor, for which their Lordships were summoned. The measure was (4)6 • posed by the Bishop of BANGOR, the Bishop of ST. DAVID'S, the Bishop of LONDON, the Bishop of SALISBURY, and the Archbishop of CANTERBURY;' • the only Prelate who supported it being the Bishop of LINCOLN, that support being given on the ground thai the Bill held out the only chance of the creation oflt Bishop of Manchester. j The House of Commons met at the usual hour. ; The second reading of the Irish Registration M i l was fixed for the Ist of July. Mr. BORTHWICX then made his promised motion . • for a Select Committee into the operation of the Anatomy Act. • • • A short discussibn ensued, and the Hon. Member's motion was rejectedby a Majority of 39. Mr. WARD then brought forward 'the motion of which he had given notice, respeetint th e state o f the Established Church in Ireland. He made an able speech, recapitulating the arguments , that hav e fie _ quently been advanced against the anomalies I. presented by the state of the Church yin Ireland. Lord ELIOT followed Mr. - WAAD, opposing the motion. • . • - The rest of the evening'viis - occupied' by speeches .from Mr. SirAW",and lkfr. REDMNGTON, when the -debate, on the motion of Cololiel RA.IVDtM, was -adjourned. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Twenty A.linntes :after Twelve O'eloeli. • It might appear, at first sight, to those who had not - previously examined and considered the matter with ;All due care, that ltmust.be safe* for r a:pnhlic man, 4110 is not very'certain of his grounds, to state a case hypothetically, than': It would seem :?tinter of course that; if he•hiva'a measUrestoipropose -1-.,upon premises which, at.the moment, he'Cannot ve ' ftir him tastate them as Condi • foi grarftid, thatuto propound them g it and incapable c'' l disproof.

If he assume antecedents to have-actually happened, which he knows to be indis pensable to the establishment of those views, the chances are, that one-half of his hearers will believe, implicitly, that which he has so' assumed ; and that of the other half who may dissent from, or dispute the facts which are involved in such antecedents, but a very few will be at the trouble to follow out the proof of their fallacy ; and that even as to these, there is al ways the apologetic plea to be addressed (a plea which the custom of Parliament is sure to admit to a plau sible Premier)—" that he has 'been mistaken as to some facts ;' or inaccurately instructed as to a 'few details,' but that the House will feel with him these cannot affect the general results- he has arrived at." It was, for example, a much more convenient course for Sir ROBERT PEEL, in his speech of the 6th of May, to declare the Order in Council of Mr. PITT, in 1797, "a fatal blunder," than to set about the dan gerous task of showing why it had been so. In this undertaking he would have made shipwreck of that very un-seaworthy craft in which he has embarked upon a sort of privateering cruise, under false colours, against those legitimate intesests which the genius of PITT at once unaerstood, developed, and protected. In like manner, when Sir ROBERT asked (almost emu lating the sardonic gravity of him who demanded " What is truth ?") " What is a pound ? " he' answered his own question by some so unhesitating propositions, that they were well calculated to delude the majority of his hearers into a notion that they must be facts because they were positive averment. The Author of " A Letter to the Premier," [the. second and enlarged edition of which is now before us,] demolishes, as we showed in a previous article, the whole hipothesis upon which those propositions were fixed, and abso lutely disproved the statistics that the Premier brought up to their support. Thus the definitions of " a certain, definite quantity of the precious metals," "a quantity invariable as well as definite," were as effectually routed as the imaginary "identity of the value of our pound in coin," with that " unalterable," or "standard value," which it possessed in the last two years of the reign of ELIZABETH. Sir ROBERT'S his. torical' " memoranda," of themselves, extinguished the " certainty," or "definitiveness," of the quan tity of precious metals of our pound at various periods of the monarchy. The " In quirer after Truth " - contlusively proved that since the reign, of ELIZABETH our 'unalterable pound sterling had undergone, four several alterations : to wit, in 1604, 1625, 1675, and 1815 ; that Sir ROBERT has confounded the ideas of " standard," and " measure " of value, by treating the terms us con. vertibles ones, and applying equally to quality as to quintity-Lthat moreover the relations of silver and gold, instead of being properties capable of arbitrary eqhatiOn, or given conditions determinable by the caprice of a Minister, " are altered by circumstances over which our rulers have no control." In this last line a great political as well as financial truth is inculcated, which is, we suspect, much more profound than any " dreamed of" in Sir ROBERT'S currency " philosophy." It is indeed evident that whilst he imagines himself to be putting an issue be tween himself and his opponents on some assumption so extravagant that it Could determine only in a re duCtio ad absurdem, that very issue which he can re gard only as a theoretical abstraction, has occurred ! and that facts, of which he appears profoundly igno rant, have practically demonstrated- his supposed impossible 'absurdity. Let us cite from p. 22 of the " Letter to the Premier," an instance strictly 'con firming our view of this-matter :—" What then," asked Sir ROBERT, on the 6th of May, alluding to the Bir mingham strictures on his currency measures"— " What, then, is the meaning of now asking that the Bank should issue gold at the rate of 51. an ounce ? . . . Depend upon ,it, that if you attempt to say, that one ounce of gold shall not represent 3L 17s. Gil. in silver, but 51.—silver and gold will be more powerful than your legislation, and you will find it utterly impossible to alter= the relative value of silver and gold.' You think, Sir, that you have got your antagonists on the hip, but you are mistaken : you will be thrown yourself. • The truth is, that the - ounce of gold did,jat a certain period of the late war, represent St in silver, and this without any alteration of the relative value of two metals. The silver coin was' diminished to keep proportion with the gold by the issue of bank tokens ; so that, when an ounce of gold was worth 54 the silver which was pre viously coined into 31. 17s. 104 d was coined into 5/. The Spanish dollar, fir instance, which was previously reck oned to be worth 4s. 2d., was stamped anew by the Bank and made to pass for ss. You have evidently misunder stood the question at issue, as well as misapprehended the facts of the case. It does not concern the relation of the two principal metals ,to each other in respect to quantity, but their joint and equal relation in that re spect to the, denominations of our coins. If gold is re duced, silver is equally reduced, and so is also copper." But we hope to find room to-morrow for a careful notice of the second and much improved edition of a pamphlet which will certainly rank hereafter as a text book with all those who desired to understand the 'operation of Sir ROUERT PEEL'S' most ill-advised measures for the permanent disorganization and ulti- Mate 'ruin of our monetary► system. We quote the following paragraph from a Morning Contemporary As the Emperor of Russia was ~p.!ssing through Trafalgar-square the other day on a visit to Sir ROBERT REEL, he observed the unfinished and . dreary appearance which the tardily erected me morial to the immortal NELSON still presents to the eye. Inquiring the cause, his Imperial MAJESTY was informed that a want of the necessary funds was the only obstacle to its completion. The Emperor imme diately directed Chevalier BENXUAUSEN to put down his name for a considerable sum, the amount of . which; however, has not yet transpired. This is a species of liberality which none 'can fail . to adtiliie, and must ^ have the effect of ren dering the EMPEROR extremely popular with all those persons desirous to see the national testimonial 'to our greateit naval hero proMptly and satisfazterily - completed." Hisimperial MAJESTY certainly deserves the public thanks for the liberality which prompted his subscription to the NELSON column, nor are the tact and sagacity of his munificence less to be ad mired; but how discreditable is it to our upper and middle classes, who monopolise among them ahnost the entire wealth of the country, that they should not long before this have advanced, of their own accord, without solicitation, the sums necessary for the com pletion of the memorial in question ? To our think ing, it reflects infinite disgrace on them' as English citizens—who, one would have naturally supposed, would be sensitively alive to the honour of their "country-that th 4 should permit a Russian Em peror, the representative of the' despotic principle in Europe, to furnish that , subscription which it should have • been , their prida to' have furnished themselves unhesitatingly months since !Hence forth no` Englishman will ever be able, to look On the ' NELSON coluMn without - reflecting with a blush of shame and indignation, that it most probably would never have been completed,- had it riot been for the sagacious and spontaneous liberality -Of a Russian Czar. Were, the truth to be spoken, it 'should be recorded on the monument of the greatest naval hero that this • spr any other country ever pro ,duced, that its completion was solely owing to the lucky visit of the Emperor NicioLAs to London, who, seeing that the' work was unfinished, and shrewdly anticipating that it . was likely to remain so-bearing 'in 'mind 'the extreme poverty of the aristocratic and commercial community, which he must daily have witnessedduring • hia brief stay in the metropolis— gavel: _ orders, that the column should be finished, nearly if not quite, at hill own expense. We are always boasting of our naval supremacy, yet to the Meniory.of . the .tnan WhO ensured us that su premacy—,who preserved our laws, our, liberties, our wealth, our lives, everything', in Short, which we hold InO4,4e,&i,.*hen they Isere, placed i n i nun i nent : per i l by the Emperor h.e orNA m i`O;Cfri w4 at that time t , l 2i i ii iD t icLa e to se r '?f Europe,-to inestimable benefits, and to whose indomitalilecOurage and disinterested patriotismwe have 30ehiastii ng c ause to be grateful, we cannot.findit An our hearts to sub scribe a few paltry hundred pounds,' by way Of inark ing our due appreciation of his services ! Yet though our "respectable classes—as they. are .so , :fond o f themselves-Lare too poor to Subscribe the noe s . nary'sums for the completion of a NELSON testimonial, they are' not too poor to, Squander, nanny of,them, their ten or • twenty pounds, on an Opera **, in order to get a peep at a real Russian Autocrat, as was the ease - the other night when the Ernperaluoves 1.134 Oen, tole ;urei.itis genteel—it is fashionable fur a " respectable" man and his family to be able to say that they have seen the great Despot of the:North ; whereas it adds nothing at all to their sense of self-importance to subscribe a pittance in honour of the memory of the Hero of Tra falgar ; such an act is merely one of public respect and gratitude—an old-fashioned feeling, which, in these days of purely conventional refinement, spirit, and gentility, is beneath a wise man's consideration. How true is SIIAKSPEARE ' II remark—who well knew and thoroughly appreciated the world, if ever man did— " The present eye praises the present object, And things in motion sooner catch the eye Than what not stirs:". NELSON is no longer the " present object" to at tract the " present eye ;" he is dead, and with him has died the public sense of the services he conferred on his couutry—at least if we may judge from the unfinished state of his monument; and we really be lieve that the aristocratic classes would sooner sub scribe for a statue in commemoration of the Emperor NICHOLAS'S visit to London, than they would subscribe to complete the column in Trafalgar square. Of a verity, great statesmen and warriors, and authors, and artists have no great encou ragement to task their faculties, and wear away their lives in the public service! The intelligence from Madrid is to the 3d instant. It appears that on the previous day a meeting of capi talists, holders of Government securities, was sum moned to consult respecting the means to be adopted in the present crisis. The meeting took place at the Bank of San Fernando, about three P.M., Senor BOQUEIIO, one of the directors, in the chair. There were not more than forty persons present, probably owing to the short notice given. The feeling ex pressed was one of alarm and distrust, not with Senor Mort individually, but in consequence of the system which he was supposed to be pursuing, and the want of all communication on his part respecting measures in which all their interests were involved. A com mittee, consisting of Senors CAMPANA, CARRIQUIRI, Mr. O'SREA, and two other Members, was appointed by the meeting to hold a conference with the Finance Minister, and report the result. The state of the country in general is very unpro mising at present, owing to the long-continued rains that have prevailed in many provinces, and the unsea sonably cold weather. There are fears that the har vest will be lost in Catalonia and some other parts.. It would seem as if the weather sympathised with the political state of the country, and the elements were out of order as well as everything else. The most remarkable portion of the contents of the Paris journals of Monday is to be found in their speculations on the visit of the Emperor N icifoLas. With respect to the political objects which they sup pose the Autocrat to have had in view, they assume, with the most perfect absence of doubt in the matter, that he came to the Court of St. James's to conclude the negotiations that will give over to his power the whole of those Christian States and provinces which are yet subject to, or under the protection of Turkey. The purpose of his visit being thus settled, they turn to the manner in which he has been received, and on this point they arrive at a pretty just conclusion. The National says the language of the London journals since the arrival of the EMPEROR, has completely confirmed the accounts of its Correspondent, that the visit of NICHOLAS did not produce any real sensation among the people. It says, " Even curiosity was scarcely excited for more than a moment by his un expected arrival. In general the English do not like these surprises; regular and methodical even to monotony, they have but little taste for the eccentri cities that disturb the things they cherish the most, habits and settled modes of thought. In this respect then, this courier Monarch and handsome man has com pletely failed in producing the effect he anticipated. He thought, no doubt, to see a free country agitated, and rendered anxious by his presence, like the barbarous nations that are subjected to his power. He has learned that liberty is still more proud than des potism ; but it is only the pride of despotism that is ever offensive. Liberty, stronger than it, and also calmer in its strength, looks with the utmost indif ference on the six feet figure of the Imperial tourist, who thinks he can chain the attention of the world to his movements." The same journal says, truly enough, that the only indications of his presence have been seen in the fates at the Palace, and at Chiswick ; the people have been but very little interested. It also alludes to the exertions made by the London press to prevent any outbreak of popular dislike against the Government of the QUEEN, as a proof that such advice must have been needed, or it would not have been given ; and it does not let the occasion pass without pointing out the insult given to France in the banquet to the EMPEROR in the Waterloo Gallery ! Louis PHILIPPE may avenge it in kind, by receiving his • next Royal guest in the " Hall of Battles," and thus at once insult all the nations of Europe, whose defeats are there re corded ; or if the Kin; of PRUSSIA should visit Paris, he may be shown the Pont de Jena, or the Pont d'Austerlitz. But for this pettishness the article of the National is a sensible one. There is no news of any positive kind from Algiers but, in consequence of what has been before received, the preparations for sending reinforcements to that country are proceeding with every activity. The railroad question occupies considerable space in the columns of the Paris journals. The great prin ciple contended for seems to be, that it would be in expedient to shackle too heavily the companies who may present themselves as bidders or contractors for the various contemplated lines, and particularly in respect of the length of lease desired by them ; but that, if respectable companies do not offer for the lines on fair terms, then the Government itself should enter at once upon the execution of the projected railways. Lours PHILIPPE'S fete at Versailles to 1,500 of the expositors of national industry, which took place on Saturday, went off satisfactorily. The guests as sembled at half-past five in the picture gallery of the Museum, and were allowed an hour and a half to view its treasures. At seven o'clock the doors of the the theatre were thrown open, and all were admitted, without distinction of places, the simple mechanic in many places occupying the boxes, while the peer of France was glad to take refuge in the pit. The KING, QUEEN, the Royal Family, all the Ministers, with the exception of Marshal SOULT, a great num ber of the members of both Chambers, with other functionaries, were present. Immediately after the entrance of the Royal Family the performance, which consisted of (Edipe a Colonise, the Favourite, and a part of the Muet de Portici, commenced. Between the acts refreshments were handed round to the guests, and at the termination of the spectacle, after loud cries of "Vive le Roi," "Vive la Reine," the party broke up, and so the fête ended. MR. CAPPS' LECTURES ON THE CURRENCY.— Yesterday, in conformity with a notice duly adver tised in the papers, Mr. Capps, delivered at the British Coffee House, a lecture on Sir Robert Peel's Cur rency Plans; showing their inevitable prejudicial tendency and effects. Several Members of Parlia ment were present, and a numerous auditory of other gentlemen—all of whom listened to Mr. Capps with lively satisfaction. At the close of his very able lec ture—opportunity being given for objection and in quiry—the answers and explanations of the lecturer were so clear and lucid, that not one word of dissatis faction with either was expressed. On the contrary, every difficulty or doubt propounded was instantly solved, The Hon. Member for Tynemouth having then risen to move a vote of thanks to Mr. Capps, (which was unanimously carried), urged that gen tleman to repeat his lecture on Thursday next ; and was seconded in this request by George Stephen, Esq. The lecturer having consented to repeat to day's lecture, accordingly, on Thursday next, several gentlemen expressed their gratification at the oppor tunity which would be thus afforded them, of bring ing down their Parliamentary and other influential friends, to hear his admirable exposition, and simple treatment of this important subject. TBE KING OF SAYONY.—In consequence of his Majesty having •accepted an invitation to dine with Sir R. and Lady. Peel on Saturday next, we have reason to believe that the King will not leave for Scotland before Monday. The Right Hon. Baronet has a distinguished circle to meet his Majesty, and Lady Peel, it is said, will have an assembly expressly in honour of his Majesty.

The following paragraph in a Sydney paper conveys news from New Zealand, to Jan. 10 : ," Governor Fitzroy landed at Auckland on the 26th December, and immediately took the oaths of office. Two addresses, purporting to be from the natives of New Zealand, but bearing internal evidences of having been concocted by the land•sharks, were presented to the Governor. Their principal topic is dissatisfaction at the state of the land regulations, which the Governor pro mised to inquire into. Mr. W. Shortland, who has held the difficult and unthankful office of Acting Governor since Captain Hobson's death, had resigned his office of Colonial Secretary, and been succeeded pro tem. by a Dr. Sinclair. The Legislative Council met on the 9th instant, when the Governor presented three short Bills ; one for extending the Supreme Court by allowing the apppointment of a judge at Wellington ; a Bill for in troducing grand juries, and allowing certain chiefs to sit on them ; and a third for giving magisterial powers over the native population in remote districts to certain chiefs. It was expected that the passing of these Bills would only occupy a short time, and his Excellency in tended to sail in H.M.S. North Star, for Cook's Straits, about the 16th instant, and, on his return, would intro. duce a measure for settling the land claims." -- The following is the official return of the exports of bullion from the port of London, for the week ending Thursday last : Silver Bars to Hamburgh Rotterdam ft Coin to China ft Rotterdam ft Hamburgh „ Bullion to ditto ....

In the present state of the Ceylon Coffee market, some ac counts received from the colony to-day, per the letters and papers via Falmouth, may prove interesting. It is stated under date of April 22, from Colombo :—" As we come, as we now have, nearly to the close of our coffee shipping season, bustle diminishes, operations cease, and little is left for us to report of transactions, as respects our, at present, chief staple, coffee; by-and-bye, we may see sugar treading upon the heels of coffee, and we hope we shall. Money and industry will act like an enchanter's wand, and we shall soon see the latent treasures of this lovely island pouring streams of produce far and wide ; well do those deserve their anticipated wealth, whose enter prise and zeal have brought to light the hidden treasures of our soil ; long may good fortune gladden them, and may they strive to deserve the bounty with which Providence promises to bless them. Turn we now to the barren detail. " Coffee—that of native growth, almost all shipped, and the price consequently nominal, about 403 unpicked, &c. Cinnamon—the Government monthly sale was held on the Ist April, and the 200 bales were all sold.—First sort. 10 bales at 3s. 44d., 1841. 1671. 14s. 2d.—Freight unaltered, 31. 15s. for general cargo, 41. 15s. for Cinnamon. " The south-west monsoon has evidently set in, and the weather is now much cooler. On Friday night, and during Saturday, we had a constant succession of heavy showers, with lightning and thunder occasionally. In the interior it has been intensely hot during the day, as well as the greater part of last month, and considerable sickness has bean the consequence. _ . . "Ttie total value of the imports into Ceylon, last year, was 1,034,531/. against 794,758/. in 1842 ; but it must be ob served that out of the former sum no less than 314,386/. con sisted of specie. I❑ 1839, the total imports were only 661,920/. The exports last year were 421,083/. ; in 1842, 463,4451.; and in 1839, 375,608/. 1 " We have other arrivals also, but do not find anything par ticular in them. The Funds have been a little firmer to-day, but there is a continued want of activity. Consols, for the opening, have been 981 1 to 984. Bank Stock is steady at 199 to 1996-; the Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 1014 to 4, and the Three per Cents. at 988- to Exchequer Bills have realised 71s. to 735. premium. The intelligence from Madrid, as usual after matters have been made as bad as possible, is now running in a better vein, and so far serves to show how little dependence can be placed on the statements put forth. The Active Bonds have rallied to 224 and the Three per Cents. to 341 Portuguese Converted have been flat at 4434. Mexican Bonds are worth only 35 to 3-IL, a decline upon yesterday's value, as the effect of the accounts from New York is bad. Buenos Ayres have been dealt in at an advance from 35 to 36i and 37i ; Dutch Five per Cents. are firm at 100 to 1004. The Share market has been flatter for some of the lines, but especially for Birmingham, which upon sales made have declined to 120 and 117 premium. The unfortunate diffe rences between this Company and the Grand Junction line are shaking the confidence of the holders. South -Western are rather lower. Banks are steady.

LADY CATEIERINE BROWN.—WE have co announce the demise of the above lady, who expired on Friday evening shortly after eight o'clock, to the infinite grief of her family. Her Ladyship was second daughter of the Marquis and MarchionesOf Sligo, and born May 2, 1822. It is sup iosed that the death.Of her Ladyship resulted from a cold, terminating in inflammation. It seems that the de ceased was able to dine with the members of her family on Wednesday, and on the following morning was seized with severe illness, from which she never recovered. PcIVER, JUNE IO.—(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) .6 . : ThgQeneral Steam Navigation Company's steamer, the Magigian, (which is now on the passage between here and i3oulogne) brought over yesterday six carriages and about :fifty passengers. Among the passenger: were the Duke and Duchess of Argyle and suite, and other persons of distinction. This vessel is currying all before her, and such is the rapidity with which she performs the passage, that she crosses from Boulogne to Dover and back in one tide. The following are among the more recent arrivals at Dover :—Countess Cadogan and family, Colonel and Lady Laura Meyrick and family, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Baring and family, Count Walsh and family, Earl and Countess of Gainsborough and family, Sir John and Lady Hall and family, Mr. and Mrs. Arbuthnot and family, Lord George Quin and Son, Lady Jackson, Mrs. Waddell and family, Colonel and Mrs. Disborough and family, Admiral Sykes and family, Countess Ste. Aulaire and suite, Lady Williams, Captain Armstrong, the Princess Radzivill, Captain and Mrs. Alexander, and Prince of Leiningen. SERIOUS INDISPOSITION OF THE COUNTESS OF RADNOR.—The Countess of Radnor has been suffering from severe indisposition, so as to create some alarm to the imme diate family connections. At first but slight apprehensions were entertained, although her Ladyship was very unwell, and the services of Drs. Chambers and Ferguson were called upon. Yesterday, however, it is gratifying to say there was a decided improvement in her Ladyship's disorder, and san guine hopes are now gi ven o f the Countess's eventuairecovery. DELUSIONS or DRUNKARDS.—On Saturday an in quest was held by Mr. Wakley, M.P., at the Middlesex Hos pital, on the body of a man named Sheen, who died on Thurs day last, from the effects of injuries received by his falling down stairs while in a state of intoxication, on the night of the 23d ult. Deceased, while in the hospital, repeatedly stated that he had been pushed down the stairs by some one. Mr. Wakley said it was remarkable under what delusions persons laboured when intoxicated. There was at that time a carpenter in the hospital who had injured himself while tipsy, by falling down stairs with a chisel in his pocket, but who persisted in saying he had been thrown down. It was doubtless the same with the deceased. It was only a short time ago that Dr. Burne had cut a man for two apparent tumours in the neck and back, and had extracted a handle of a fork from one, and the iron work from the other, and the man had not the slightest recollection how they came there. It could only be presumed that the fork bad been swallowed by the man—(Laughter)—while in an unconscious state. After citing several other instances, which went strongly to prove the inability of either man or woman to speak to facts while intoxicated, the Jury returned a verdict of " Natural death." SUMMARY OF NEWS AND übltc Optittoit. " Who rwns may read." POI;LEIGN. His Majesty of Hanover has created a new distinction, in honour of fifty years' military service, and given it the name of the cross of Ernest Augustus. The first officer who re ceives this cross is his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge. The Frankfort Jotanal, well informed in all Russian movements, says that " the stay of the Emperor in England will not exceed a week ; and that he will return to Berlin direct by Cassel. and Webnar, to go later to Carlsbad and Kisseugen." The railroad from Carlsruhe to Strasburg was opened on the 25ith of May. The Duchess of Berri is about to remove her residence from Gratz to Venice. The young Queen of Spain arrived at Barcelona on the Ist inst., and was received with great rejoicings. It is rumoured at the Cape that the eminent French and Swedish naturalists, Messrs. Delgorgie and Wilberg, had been murdered by the natives in Mazilikatze country. It appears that Lord Stanley has complied with an often reiterated request of the settlers in the eastern province of the Cape of Good Hope, in giving additional powers to the Lieu tenant-Governor, so that he shall in future have undisputed pre-eminence over the judiciary, and in cases of emergency to act upon his own judgment and responsibility, without waiting for instructions from the Governor of Cape Town. It is said that the address to O'Connell, which has been circulated in several towns of the province of the Rhine, has given occasion to some discussion between the English and Prussian Governments. The subscription for the sword to be presented to Admiral _Dupetit Thouars, amounts to 15,331 f. The Hotel de Cluny, which had been purchased by M. Belin Leprieur for 90,000 f., has been sold by that gentleman's son, to the French Government, for 400,000 f. LAW AND POLICE. The sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced on Monday at the Old Bailey. Johanna Carroll, a girl, above 17 years old, was charged at Guildhall with attempting to commit suicide at Black friars-bridge. She has no father or mother, and was given into the care of an aunt, with an admonition. Ann Berry, a distressed looking female, who was described as a shirtmaker, was charged at Clerkenwell with having embezzelled 65 squirrel locks o .value 65., the property of Mr. Carpenter, 'furrier, of John-street, Clerkenwell. She was convicted in the penalty of twenty shillings for illegally pawning the articles, and ordered to pay six shillings their value, and in default she was committed to prison for fourteen days. Mr. Chapman was then charged for not having given the prisoner a duplicate, or "note," or " me morandum," for the pledge, and he was convicted in the pe nalty of 3/. James Wing, a lad, about fourteen years of age, was charged, at Queen• square, with embezzling various stuns of money, the property of his employers, Messrs. Obbard and Brown, of Little George-street, Westminster, news-agents. He was remanded. Mr. John Bailey, a gentleman residing in Brunswick-ter race, Hackney-road, and who holds a situation under Go vernment, was charged at Worship-street with having as saulted with criminal intent a very pretty and niodest-look ing girl, named Sarah Amelia Barber, aged 13 years. He was. held to bail. Frederick Macgy, a Russian sailor on board the St. James, American line of packet ship, was charged at Lambeth street, with having on board that ship, with intent to smuggle, 521bs. weight of foreign manufactured tobacco, for which offence he was liable to a penalty of 1001. He was convicted in the full penalty. COURT-FASITIONABLEI. The Earl of Aberdeen gives a grand banquet, on Thursday next, at Argyll House, to the King of Saxony.

His Royal Highness Prince Albert presiding on this occasion, a very numerous company was assembled, among whom we observed the Duke of Sutherland, the Mar quis of Northampton, and many other members of the nobi • lity. The three Asiatic Princes, at present on a visit to this country, named Meergafus Aleekham Bahadoor, Meer Mo hamed Alee Riseldar, and Loatfullah Khan, were also present. Mr. Edward Taylor paired off against the second reading of the Dissenters' Chapels Bill with Captain Vivian. Captain Mervyn Archdall, M,P., for county Fermanagh, paired off on Thursday night with Sir W. W. Wynn, against the second reading of the Dissenters' Chapels Bill. The following announcement lately appeared in a Jersey journal :—" To be sold, 'l3l law suits, the property of an advo cate retiring from business. N.B. The clients are rich and obstinate." A new piece was produced at the, Lyceum on Monday, called the Three Fra Diavolos ; it was entirely successful: On Monday the Standing Committee of the - Friends of Jus tice met at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet-street, to arrange for a great public meeting, to be held early next week at the great room in the Saville Palae^, 'Leicester-square. At the first meeting R. Taylor, Esq., common councilman of the City of London, presided. On Monday R. Barrett, Esq., was in the chair, Mr. M. P. Haynes acting as secretary. The meeting will have its attention called to the unconstitutional character of the late legal proceedings:in Ireland. Count Ostrowski was one of the company at the Polish Ball. lie Was presented to the Lady Patronesses; and was indeed one of the lions of the evening, the charge against him being considered a very ridiculous one. It was stated in the ball-room that the Emperor of Russia did not purchase a ticket for the occasion. The news from the United States, respecting the annexa tion of Texas, and the tenor of the news from Paris, with respect to Morocco, hae produced an uneasy feeling on the Stock Exchange, and caused some speculative sales in the English funds. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. HER MAJESTY'S SHIP CLEOPATRA.-MAS SACRE OF PART OF HER CREW. An extract of a letter, received at Lloyd's from their I agent at the Cape of. Good Hope, of the 16th April last, throws some light'upon the occurrence in which Lieute nant Molesworili and seven of the'creW of her Majesty's ship- Cleopatra lost their lives, and of which certain par ticulars were given yesterday. From this it will be seen that the natives were the aggressors, and that the me lancholy loss of lifer referred to occurred in the discharge of a special act of duty, for irritated by detention and re pulsion in an endeavour to thieve, the two natives . men tioned evidently instigated their Countrymen to perpe trate the murder of eight persons whO had offered them no wrong, and Were ,the last to imagine such an outrage. The natives appear from all accounts to have been very prompt in carrying their horrible intentions into execu tion: This is not the first act of the kind that has oc curred upon that coast, but is peculiarly. extraordinary in this instance as being perpetrated upon the persons of those to whom the natives of that part of the African coast are indebted for strenuous exertions to suppress the slave trade, and can only be 'explained from the principle which instigates all uncivilised nations to the commission of such barbarous usages. • " Cape of :Good Hope, April 16, 1844. "Her Majesty's ship Cleopatra has arrived in Sunon's Bat, having struck on a coral, reef on the coast of Midges on the 21st of March, and whilst weighing the kedge-anchor (which had been used to warp her off) on the 23d, Lieutenant Molesvvorth and seven men were killed by the natives. This was brought on from two of the natives. hating been forcibly turned from the boat whilst endeavouring to steal some of the stores." IMPORTANT TO MARINERS.—ESTARLISH MENT OF MARINE HOSPITALS.

Latfite came to Paris in 1778, the extent 4.f his ambition was to find a situation a banking-house, and to attain this object he called on M. Perregaux, the rich Swiss banker, to whom he had a letter of recom mendation. This gentleman had just taken possession of the hotel of Mdlle. Gurmard, which had been put up to lottery by that lady,.and won by the fortunate banker, It was to this charming habitation, which has since been demolished, that M. Laffitte paid his first visit in Paris, and, as it were, took his first step in the Parisian world. The young provincial —poor and modest, timid and anxious—entered by that gateway which h a d w i tnesse d so many of the gaieties of the last century. He was in troduced into the boudoir of the danseuse, then become the cabinet of the banker, and there modestly stated the object of his visit. It is impossible for me to admit you into my es. tablishment—at least, for the present," replied the banker ; " all my offices have their full complement. If I require any one at a future 'time, I will see what can be done ; but in the meantime I advise you to seek else where, for I do not expect to have a vacancy for some time." With a disappointed heart the young aspirant for em ployment !eft the office, and while with a downcast look he traversed the courtyard he stooped to pick up a pin which lay in his path, and which he carefully stuck in the lappet of his coat. Little did he think that this tri. vial action was to decide his future fate, but so it was. From the window of his cabinet M. Perregaux had observed the action of the young_ man. The Swiss banker was one of those keen observers of human ac tions who estimated the value of circumstances appa rently trifling in themselves, and which would pass un noticed by the majority of mankind. He was delighted with the conduct of the young stranger. In this simple action, he saw the revelation of a character ; it was a guarantee of a love of order and economy, a certain pledge of all the qualities which should be possessed by a good financier. A young man who would pick up n pin could not fail to make a good clerk, merit the con fidence of his employer, and attain a high degree of prosperity. In the evening •of the same day, M. Laffitte received the following note front M. Perregaux : " A place is made for you in my office, which you may take possession of to-morrow morning." . The anticipations of the banker were not deemed. The young Laffitte possessed 'every desirable quality, and even more than was at first expected. From simple clerk, he soon rose to be cashier, then partner, then head of the first banking-house in Paris, and afterwards, in rapid succession, a Deputy and Presid e nt o f th e C ounc il of Ministers, the highest point to which a citizen can aspire. On what a trifle does the fortune of a man sometimes depend. But for the simple incident of the pin, M. Laffitte would, perhaps, never have entered into the house of M. Perregaux ; another employer might not have opened to him so wide afield of action, and his talents and intelligence would not have led to such mag nificent results. Little did M. Perregaux think that the hand which would pick up a pin was that of a man, generous to pro digality in doing good—•a hand always open to succour honourable misfortune. Never were riches placed in better hands —never did banker or prince make a more noble use of them. BULLS BLESSED BY BELLES.—The Spanish ladies seem almost as fond of the sanguinary effects of bull-feasts as. the Romans were of the scenes in their amphitheatres. When a bull, that has got a character in some of the former feasts, has I.ieen passing by, I have heard some of the ladies cry, -" 0 the dear creature !" and others, " Blessed be the soul of the mother who bore thee ! thou bast killed thy six men."--Spence. BALLOON ASCENT AND MIRACULOUS •ESCAPE.— The following perilous and most extraordinary balloon ascent is narrated at great length in the latest received New- York papers, having been copied into them from one of the Holli dayshire journals. It lippears that the aeronaut, Wise, started for his 48th atmospheric voyage on the 4th of May, in his balloon the Vesper. He had ascended some 4,000 feet, in spite of very stormy weather, when his aerial vessel en countered a violent gale from the west, swinging it to and fro, and cracking the, network at every surge ! Mr. Wise thus had the horrible prospect of falling away from the balloon at that height, with nothing to protect him but the tar and the network. An expedient, however, flashed across his • mind. The valve-rope would at least bear 1001 b., and the top of the balloon being equally strong, he threw the greatest part of the weight of his body upon it. This necessarily opened the valve 'to its full extent, and must soon bring the machine to the ground. The velocity, however, of the wind carried him about sixteen miles before he reached the earth. He tried to jump out, when he was caught in a hitch of the ropes by one leg. Having lost considerable ballast, the balloon in a few moments dashed him into the top of a high tree in a piece of woodlands, his leg still fast to the rigging of the car I Here he took a hitch to the limb of a tree, and even succeeded in tying a firm knot. By a violent kick he re leased his foot, with the loss of his boot, from the car. The balloon then escaped from his power by the force of the wind, and the aeronaut soon descended the tree. The balloon was soon found at Lexington, and thus concluded one of the most perilous balloon adventures that ever took place on either side the broad Atlantic. CHARGE OF WILFUL MURDER AGAINST A MASTER OF A VESSEL—On the arrival of the brig Chieftain, from Spalatro, with a cargo of bones, at Southampton, on Tuesday Week, the master, Capt. Reay, was arrested on a charge of having murdered one of his crew, named George Harrison, on the 21st of December last, near Spalatro. He was forthwith conveyed, before the ma gistrates, and underwent a lengthened examination, in the coarse of which it' appeared in evidence that, on the day named, the ship's company returned from shore "rather fresh," when a quarrel took place between them, and the carpenter declared that he saw the master, with out the slightest provocation whatever, place a pistol to deceased's eye, and deliberately shoot him. The deceased fell, and survived twelve hours, when he died. Da the part of the defence the prisoner handed into Court a certificate, bearing the signature of James Thomas Hill, British Vice-Consul at Finnae, officially acting at Spa latro, the purport of which was as follows:—That - he (Hill) had been officially instructed by Sir Thomas S. Sorrell, K.H., her Britannic Majesty's Consul at Trieste, to investage the circumstances connected with the death of the deceased, and after a careful inquiry he bad come to the opinion that it had resulted entirely from acci dent, and not wilfully, as was at first represented. He found, the crew in a mutinous state, and greatly preju diced against the captain. The niagistrates consulted together for some time, and on their return to the Court committed the prisoner for trial on the capital charge.
