Some discussion took place about the future busi ness of the House, especially as regarded the Poor law Bill, the Bank Charter Bill, and the Irish Regis tration Bill, but Sir ROBERT PEEL, with his usual tact, contrived to give answers which left Members exactly in the same ; happy state of ignorance. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE put a question about the cause for sending troops to Guernsey, and also asked whether Sir ROBERT PEEL would have any ob jection to furnish a' copy of the judgment and com mitment in the case of " The QUEEN V. O'CoxNELL and Others." Sir ROBERT PEEL said the Hon. Member had better give notice of motion on both questions, which was accordingly done. We thus see that the monster trial is only beginning. .Wnat with the debates in the Commons, and the discussion on the writ of error in the Lords, the whole battle will be fought over again. The House went into Committee on the Sugar• Duties Bill, when the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QER moved certain resolutions of which he had given notice, and which have appeared in' The Sun. - Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved; as an amendment to, the propositions of the CHANCELLOR of the EmcIIEQUER, a reduction of duty on all foreign sugar to 345. per cwt. Mr. GLADSTONE resisted the motion, and after a lengthened discussion the House divided, when there appeared for the resolutions 197, for the amendment 128—Majmity for the resolutions 69. The House then resumed, end the report was ordered to be brought up on Wednesday. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, rnd the House adjourned at a Quarter to Twelve. Future historians, when alluding to the reign of Queen VICTORIA—Which GOD grant may be a long and:happy one not fail to notice, with becoming' exultation, the fact . that it was a reign distinguished' far beyond any of the preceding ones by the frank, unhesitating confidence, and generous spirit of cor • diality evinced by the Sovereign towards all her European allies; that then, for the first time in the annals of modern English history, an attempt was made by a young and beautiful woman to do away with that stiff, unsocial reserve which had hitherto' kept the monarchs of Great Britain apart from all contemporary Royalties, and to introduce a more amiable, enlightened, and—we may add—politic system of fraternization with her allies through out the continent of Europe. To this praise— and when rightly considered, it is praise of a very nigh order—Queen VICTORIA is most justly entitled; and it may be accorded to her by the most ultra adical journal, even by the Northern Star itself, without incurring that suspicion of hollow flattery which so often taints any reference that may be made to' the sayings and doings of crowned heads. By her visit last year, first to France, and then to Belgium, her MAJESTY I a; set an example of frank ness and sociability that cannot fail to be attended with the happiest results. It is a proof of her lebevolent desire to consult the best interests of her subjects by drawing the bonds of union still closer between England and the Continental Powers, and to maintain the general tranquillity undisturbed, by encouraging the spread of a more intimate and friendly acquaintance with her immediate neighbours —with France, more especially, which for the last four Or five Years has entertained towards usi few other feelings than those of distrust and jealousy. Since the QUEEN'S_ well-timed visit last year to LOUIS Pniz.rarerz at . the Chateau D'Eu—these feelings have greatly diminiThed in intensity, if they have not alto gether disappeared, except among" the republican war patty in France, whom nothing short of a system of general licentious Propagandism will ever satisfy; and should the king of the Barricades reciprocate her MAJESTY'S frank and liberal confidence and courtesy by returning her visit—which it is suspected he will do before long—we may reasonably 'enough anticipate that a better spirit will be engendered between France and England than has ever yet existed between these two influential rival kingdoms. Doubtless it is to the social example set by her MAJESTY, and her known wish to make, as far as it is possible to do so, one vast, harmenious brotherhood of Europe, that we owe the recent visit of the King of PRUSSIA, and the present still more remarkable visits of the King of SAXONY and the Emperor of RUSSIA. From the presence of this last potentate among us we may augur the most auspicious results to the future des tinies both of England and Russia. IN Im perial MAJESTY, now in the full meridian of his intellectual powers, will have' an op portunity of personally witnessing the immense wealth, the inexhaustible resources, the indomitable energy and enterprise_ of this country; the* active habits of its population, their bold yet orderly bearing, and their prodigious masses, " thick as autumnal leaves that strew the brooks of Vallombrosi," will strike him with astonishment and admiration every hour of the day, in every city, town, or even village, through which he may happen to pass, and he will necessarily infer the expediency of keeping on the closest terms of amity With a nation possessed of such resources, and wielding such mighty power ; while, as regards our English institutions, when he attentively'Consi ders their character, marks their liberal tendency, and their_ excellent practical working in the frank, fear less, and active demeanour of the people, and bears in mind to what an unprecedented height of power and prosperity they have raised Great Britain ; when his Imperial MAJESTY directs his attention, and he can scarcely failto do otherwise, to these fin ' portant matters, it may, we think, be reasonably. in ferred that many an anxious thought will pass through his mind as to the expediency of remodelling, so far as is compatible with prudence, the public institutions of his own kingdom, of softening 'their present, harsh, despotic nature, and giving them a 'chance, at least, of producing some of those comprehensive national benefits *which free'institutions have produced in this country. Russia has within her self all the elements greatness. and prosperity ; :she posseasei an infinite variety of soil and climate ; a' hardy and industrious population is 'hers, well fitted to draw forth the riches of her mines, many of which are yet but imperfectly explored, ,and to' increase tenfold the value and extent of her agricultural produce ; and nothing more is needed to make her the wealthiest, most independent, and most influential kingdom in Europe, with the sole _ . exception of England, but such a tolerant and en. larged system of government as shall regard the Wel fare of the Many instead of the Few, and give the vast masses of her people a direct, heart-felt interest in supporting it. ' We. give, in another column, an abridged account of some proceedings at a-' meeting of noblemen, de putrlieutenanti, bankers, &c., .of Scotland, con yened for the purpose-, of considering -the - resolutions, with respect to the• renewal of the Charter of the, Bank of England, and,the future negotiation ofbank-, ing in -general {brought forward by Sir RobERT PEEL on the 7th May),4 the Earl of EGLiiiroef in the Chair: As might be expected from a body of gentry so intelligent, and of such practical experience.aa that which : composed this meeting, the subject was ais-. cussed with much good sense and temper. No see bent of the community hes been more benefited by the -syStem • on, which ,banking is 'at present ,car ried on than the Scottish' public.: The continued chtulatian of small - fnotes, and the facilities thereby afforded ta - the'locatagencies of the Scotch hanks for acconimodatiag the Inimediat3 wants of. remote 4;sfocts, haVe led to an extension of agticulturalim- . r.ovement, and en aggregate, of social and cavaciiiiciel prosperity, such as Scotl a nd h as never before attained to. These privileges, if sethey are to be called; our Scottish brethren have Certainly enjoyed, - whilst in England we have b een depriVed- of them during the last sixteen or eighteen yeari - . But they have availed themselves of this advantage' with so much credit to theinielyes and advantage. to the community = -they have shown so rnuehra.paCity to usi; and so little in ennation to abuse it—that we heartily concur hi the anxiety manifested at the Ayr meeting for its continuance. , . A little Fi2ronat. altercation took place. between Lord KINNAIRD and the Duke of Rrcuriomu, i n th e House of Lords, lest evening. The Xoble .Lord asked the Noble Dula: whether, rfier the late ap- Pciintraeut of his brother to a Government office, he intended to bring forwrrd a motion on the Wool Duties Dal?

I a thrifty exactor of his legal rights, but somewhat of a politico-economico pedant to boot, it must be an ex quisite revenge thus to insist " upon his bond" against the reckless disturber of his bullion theories. But it seems to us that this scheme is so palpably one con trived for the selfish and exclusive advantage of all present capitalists against all competitors in the markets of industry or the field of honourable com petition and public distinction, that it can only be requisite to demonstrate its bearings to secure its present rejection, or compel its speedy withdrawal. If the clauses we have quoted were left without impartial qualifications in those which follow, this Bill would have made that portion of our monetary system with which it attempts to grapple, a second bed of PROCRUSTES, upon which the commerceof these kingdoms, despite its gigantic and growing propor tions, would have to be tied down, and lopped and mutilated, more or less, according to the fluctuating dimensions of that system. This was a result which the concoctors of the Bill seem to have anticipated as possible. So, in clause 5, power is given to her 111A1. JESTY in Council, on application of said Governor and Company of the Bank of England, in the event of any now issuing banker discontinuing, after a cer tain date, to issue his own notes, to authorise the said Governor and Company ".to increase the amount of securities in said issue department beyond the total sum of 14,000,0001., and therefore to issue additional Bank of England notes to an amount not exceeding such increased amount of securities specified in such Order in Council; such increase not to exceed two thirds of the amount of such discontinuing banker's authorised issues." Let us suppose the case of these concurrent con tingencies, viz., (l)—the sudden extension of an old or opening up of a new market abroad for the sale ()four manufactures, at so advanced a period of the shipping season for the distant regions, wherever the markets are situated, as to admit of no delay in making the required investments or exports; (2) on a recent serious contraction of the Bank of Eng land's issues of paper, under the provisions of this Act, and a consequent drain, of gold which has found its way to the Continent; (3)—the arrival of exten sive remittances of produce from their want of money, from the insolvent American States, from China, from the Australian Colonies. Since, to warrant the increased issues whi,:h the Bank of Eng land may thus make to the amount of two-thirds of the average circulation of the private bank declining to continue its previous issues, application must be made to, and an order be issued by the QUEEN in Council, and such order be formally promulgated and published in the Lond)n Gazelle, what is to be done in the interval for the additional money or currency absolutely necessary to remove all transactions con nected' with such investments outwards; and such imports of produce, out of the destructive and bar barous operation " of that condition of barter, which is the haunting spectre so assiduously excommunicated by these bullionists themselves ?" Of the other pro visions affecting joint stock and private banks of issue, we can only repeat our former opinion —that they compose one of the most tyrannous and clumsy pieces of legislation ever propounded to Parliament. But/ we shall enter more largely into this part of the subject next week, upon noticing the enlarged and greatly improved edition which has just appeared of the admirable 'cLetter to the Premier, by an En quirer after Truth." The case of unskilful and inex cusable tampering with this vital question, which it a l l3ges against Sir ROBERT PEEL, is the most con clusive that we have yet seen adduced. Madrid journals of the 25th ult. have been received. The Queen, her Mother, and the Infanta reached Va lencia on the evening of the 23d, and were enthusias tically received by almost the entire population. Their Majesties were delayed on the road by heavy rains, which rendered the road from Quintanar to Almansa almost impassable. On arriving at the latter place, the young Queen found herself very unwell, and immediately went to bed. During the journey from Quintanar, which took place during the night, the carriage of her Majesty was twice nearly upset, and several men and horses belonging to the escort received several bruises by falling into and over the deep ruts and huge stones scattered along the road. The Royal party were to pass Whitsuntide at Valen cia, and are not expected at Barcelona until the 29th. The Three per Cents. were done at 28/ at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 20 5-16 20 for cash, and 20 / 1 at GO days. The French Chamber of Deputies brought the discussion on the foreign relations of the country to a close on Friday. M. GUIZOT delivered a masterly speech on the occasion, and so completely refuted the argumentsuf M. TRIERS that the Opposition had not the courage to go to a division on the question. The restless,which led the m cons t an tly meddling spirit dis pSllaiyneiscitebryre:ormobe statesmen,t to interfere with the affairs of for e i gners an d ma k e Frenchmen take part in their quar re l s . If suc h were reprobated that to be the policy of France she could not remain at peace for six months. " Beside s (he said), there was one that should always be respected, and that was that the KING alone enjoyed the right of making peace or declaring war, and that no one but the KING could exercise this right : if such were not the case, France would be exposed to the danger of being com promised at every moment, and in every quarter of the globe. Look at what was passing at this moment in America; there was war carrying on in different P • p oints th e re were Frenchme n at a ll t h ese p l aces, and • if they interfered in these disputes France would soon be engaged in them. But this was contrary to com mon sense—abiolutely absurd?' In reference to the war between BuenottAyres end Monte Video, M. Tunas said he wished to say n word on the position of the question. He should not press the subject to a vote, because he was unwilling to make the safety of the French subjects at Monte Video depend on so uncertain a thing as a vote of the Chamber. He, however, should make a last appeal to the humanity of the Chamber in favour of their countrymen. " The Government," said M. GUIZOT, " would take all the measures necessary for the protection of the persons, property, and rights of the French subjects at Monte Video ; remembering, at the same time, that there were Frenchmen also in France, and that the interests of all must be conciliated without sacrificing one to the other." The Presse thus adverts to the defeat of M. TMIERS and the eloquence of his antagonist : " We may, therefore, berelied upon explicitly when wesay that never was the incontestible superiority of Si. Guizot over M. Thiel" shown in so clear and brilliant a light. What a wide distance between the talent of the one and the talent of the other! What a contrast between their speeches! One so perfectly master of himself, always reaching his object with out going beyond it ; at once dignified and disdainful, never dekending to irony, but rising to it by an imperturbable and marked courtesy full and unrestrained ; the other not retaining his self-possession, incessantly repeating his own words, dwell ing upon minute details, falling into personalities and offensive language, and coming out of them only by the common place exaggeration of his sentiments which, when sincere, are expressed by phrases which even the Constitutionnd itself no longer makes use of. Has M. Thiers no friends near him who will warn him that he is misled by Spite arid is lost in resentment ? It was impossible for an ex-Minister, ono who has been President of the Council, to forget himself, all right principles, and all decency to a greater extent. We do not exaggerate when we say that M. Thiers sash yesterday far beneath those men of the Opposition whom we have heard him attack between 1834 and 1837, with so much viru lent acrimony and treat with so much contempt." The. funeral of M. LAFFITTE passed off without any popular commotion, though some of the orations delivered over the grave were of a most stirring cha racter,by and evidently directed against the Kum. We give the followi ng as a s peCimen from the speech de liveredM. GARNIER PAGES One day, afflicted by the sight of the evils which pressed upon your country, you begged pardon of God and man for the results of your own work. Whilst lam speaking you are in the presence of God, and God has absolved you; for the error of a great mind which cannot foresee evil is never a crime. And, besides, were you not -made to expiate, by cowardly persecutions and the most detestable calumnies, the imprudence of having raised those to power who subsequently persecuted and calumniated you ? NO No ! Laffitte • you were not the guilty party. The guilty are those who, i de spising the sacred Obligation of an oath, have forgotten the ' promises of July, who have trampled under foot the people who set them up, and who, raised to power in the name of the great principles -of liberty, immediately became rene gades. Shame be upon them for ever ! Shame be upon those who have forgotten their origin, and have violated the most sacred engagements ! The justice of God, like that of man, is sometimes tardy, but a day will arrive when it will fall upon them.' After M. Gamier Pages*, M. Philippe Dupin, at the request of the Prince' de la Meskotea, made a short 'but affecting speech, which :he con.; chided as follows We shall retain the remembrance of the virtues and services of Jacques LatEtte.

A young student made an oration in the name of the deputation of the schools. The persons who had followed the remains of the deceased then left the cemetery, and the crowd generally ,• There have just been issued from the Parliament Paper-office, prints of a "Bill to regulate the Issue of Bank Nobs, and for giving to the Governor and Company of the Bank! of England certain privi leges for a limited period."—(Prepared and brought in by Mr. GREENE, Sir ROBERT PEEL, and Mr. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and ordered by the House of Commons to be piloted on the 24th inst.) This Bill, in its present form, consists of twenty seven clauses, with three schedules annexed, marked, respectively, A, B, and C. Its enactments are in perfect keeping with that spirit of reckless interference with the investment and the rights of private capital employed in the business of banking, and with that proneness to tamper with the general currency of the country, which are the besetting vices of the Pre mier's whole official career. The preamble, after de claring it to be expedient to " regulate the issue, in England and Wales, of bills or notes payable on de mand;" and setting forth the 3d and 4th Wm. IV. c. 98, an " Act fur giving to the Corporation of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England certain privileges for a limited reriod, under certain conditions"—fur tiler declares the expediency of " continuing the pri vileges of exclusive banking therein mentioned to the said Governor and Company, with certain alterations such as are herein contained." Clause I enacts that from and after the 31st August, 1844, the Bank of England shall establish a separate department for issue, to be kept wholly distinct from its general banking business. Clauses 2 and 3 are intended to carry out the notable project of the Premier for the future regulation of the extent and management of these issues by the Bank. The Governor and Com pany are to set apart and appropriate to the issue de partment securities to the value of 14,000,0001., • (whereof the debt due by the public to that corpora tion shall be deemed to be part), and are also to trans fer to the said department so much of the gold coin, and gold and silver bullion then held by the Bank, "as shall not be required by the banking department thereof; and thereupon there shall be delivered out of the said issue department into said banking deppi:t meat of the Bank of England, such an amount of Bank of England notes as, together with the Bank of, England notes then in circulation, shall be equal to the aggregate amount of the securities, coin and bul lion, so transferred to the said issue department of the; Bank ; and the whole at iOunt of Bank of England notes then in circulation;' including those" thus de livered out to said banking department, " shall be deemed to be issued on the credit of such securities, coin and bullion, so appropi iated and set apart to said issue department." Thus far the meaning and intent of the clause are obvious, though it is no where stated what criterion shrJl be adopted—or by whom it shall be devised and applied—for ascertaining the amount of gal coin, bullion, e.c., which sh2l: be required by the banking department. Now this is an important integer of a system, the rash and presumptuous aim of which is to assign certain define LIMITS to the whole legal currency of the country—incapable of any extension beyond a given point, but subject to diminution and fluctuation wahin it, according to the extent of the excess of deMand far gold. For how does this clause run on ? " And from thenceforth it shall not be lawful for the said Governor and Company to increase the amount Of securities for'the time being in the said issue de partment, save as hereinatler is mentioned ; but it shall be lawfulfor them to diminish the amount of such se curities—and again to increase the same to any sum no: exceeding in the whole 14,000,0001., and so, from time to time, as they shall see occasion; and from and after such transfer, &c., it shall not be lawful for the said Governor and Company to issue Bank of England notes,, either into, the banking department of the Bank of England, or to any person or persons whatever, save in exchange for other Bank of England notes, or for gold coin, or for gold or silver bullion received or purchased for the said issue department . . . . or in exchange for securities acquired or taken in the said department under this Act; and upon any diminution of the aggregate amount of coin, bullion, and securities in the said issue depart ment for the time being, the said Governor and Com piny shall call in and reduce the amount of Bank of England notes in circulation to the same extent, and so from time to time." From these words, it is clear that a reduction of the gold reserve or store" in the Bank vaults will be a - reduction pro Canto, of the "aggregate amount of coin, bullion, and securities." What limit will any than venture to fix on the enhanced value of money which will ensue on the growing scarcity of gold, and the proportionate contraction of the whole cur rency ? What point of depreciation will any man venture to assign beforehand, as that beyond which a coincident' depreciation of prices, and a still further decline of wages, will not pass ? For the trade of the capital in "particular, of the country in general, of the universal commerce of the empire, no more signal or effective manacles could be forged than those which ire . Comprised in these enactments—thus worded, per se, and without qualification. For Sir ROBERT PEEL, or any other wealthy commoner pos sessei of an estate, unincumbered, and still thriving under his shrewd and improving manageMent, no 'doubt, such a clause as this h calculated, o,produce admirable results. They who have thi iiteltey are hard legislators for those who have I Pr to get: it. The successor to an enormous fortune realised by the honourable industry of his immediate - - progenitor, may find in his strong-box heavy mort gages for money raised at the depreciated paper cur rency that operated such wonders after the " fatal measure" of 1797 for restricting the Bank from cash payments. To him-=especially if he be as angry with that Act as the Premier avowed himself to be, on the Ist of May last, on account of its disturbing " the theories and notions of men with respect to the stand ard of value"—it may be delightful pastime to exact. payment of such Mortgages in the much enhanced gold coin of the realm, or in the broad lands on which they have been securely charged. If he be not merely and agricultural industry and enterprise ; and Mr. WAsoN, with strict truth, insisted that no necessity had arisen for any change in this condition of things; and that throughout Scotland there had been no deniand for any such change. But the foolish nonsense which the bull 7 onist claquers of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S unhappy currency exhibitions are so prone to utter, touching the exigency for a metallic standard of value, and a purely metallic currency, as the legalised currency of the kingdom, is too apt to pass with those who are too indolent to read, and think, and judge for themselves on these vital questions of our monetary policy, for the suggestion of a sound and cautious policy. Why ? Because it is combined with a specious pretext of reason. Thus, it is argued, I.That the Bill of 1819 was required, and that its proposed extension in 1844 is still essential, fur the control of that "injurious tendency" which the foreign ex changes have to turn against us, for protracted terms, at frequent :periods. 2. That the circulation of a paper s currency of joint-stock and private banks, under any regulations whatsoever, has a perpetual operation to generate over-issues, or depreciated or worthless paper. 3. That consequent upon such over issues of paper money, is a rapid and quickly in creasing depreciation of our commerce. We have so often argued against these assumptions at length, that we are content to cite, for efficient answers to them, on the preselt occasion, a single sentence from each of three speeches delivered at the Ayr meeting in question. 1. As to the foreign exchanges, Mr. BALLANTINE said—" He could not conceive how it should ever be thought that the issues should be regulated by the state of foreign exchanges; and that the country ought to control traffic, whether manufacturing, agricultural, or commercial. Currency should be the servant, not the mastn." And Mr. TAYLOR re marked, that " the exchanges arose from v tlit imports exceeding the exports, or vice versa, theUance of payment being in gold. It was not in the power of any Government to change the balance of payment, without producing paralysation of trade, and great confusion amongst mercantile transactions throughout the country." 2. As to the apprehended danger of over-issues, Mr. BOSWELL, of Garallan, stated that—" From 1836 'to 1841, although a considerable number of new banks had been started, the circulation was scarcely increased at ell . . . In fact, it was impossible, from the very system in which banks were (in Scotland) conducted, that an over-issue could take place." 3. The present depression of trade, Mr. TAYLOR declared was " to be attributed solely and entirely to any attempt at the d;minution of present issues." On Saturday the Three per Cents. closed at 841. 55c. The French Government have received the follow ing telegraphic dispatch : STRASBURG, MAY 31, 2 o'CLocx. " Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent arrived at Strasburg from Basle at half-past twelve. Her Royal High ness is proceeding to Germany, and is to take her departure at six o'clock."

There are again only Continental arrivals. The accounts from the provinces with respect to the wea ther begin to excite much interest and some anxiety, and although the Baltic Grain Markets are reported in to-day's advices as being rather dull, there can be no question but that we shall have, under any circumstances, an opening for a fair quantity of foreign grain. The drought has already .had the injurious effect of raising materially the price of fodder, and it is fortunate that our manufacturing popula tion is comparatively well employed, and therefore can, in some measure, meet an increased outlay for food. We learn from Belgium that Messrs. Anderson and Sop • with, as a deputation from several capitalists, had a private interview last week with King Leopold relative to their pro posal for constructing a railroad from Entre-Sambe and Meuse. It is stated also in the Lloyd Cettois that the heads of a leading firm there have suddenly disappeared, leaving a reported deficit to the extent of from 300,000 f. to 403,003 f. The English securities open firmly to-day, and there is a fair business doing. The visit of the Emperor of Russia and of the King of Saxony is looked upon as favourable to the general peace of Europe, although reported to be unpleasant to France ; but some curiosity has been expressed to learn whether it be true that one of, her Majesty's vesseli has re ceived orders to proceed immediately across the Channel for Louis Philippe, and whether-we are to have the novel meet ing of his Majesty with the Emperor. The statement is not credited. Consols are 99i to 99i for Transfer to-morrow, and 99i to 998 for the Account, being Saturday's best prices. Exchequer Bills are 70s. to 725. premium, and East India Bonds remain nominally at 925. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 1021 to 1028 ; the Redu ce d 1018 t o 102.

The following extract from a letter addressed by Colonel Williams, R.A., her Majesty's Commissioner, to Captain Grover, contains the latest intelligence of the Rev. Dr. Wolff ; it is dated Erzeroom, April 20, 1844 ; " The Tattar, from Teheran, has just brought me news to the 29th ult. The Governor of Meshed had sent Dr. Wolff on to Bokhara under an escort of 270 horse (Turkomans), we therefore need not be apprehensite for his personal safety." The friends of the Rev. Gentleman and of the captives will be gratified to see that the Earl of Aberdeen's kind exertions have removed all difficulties. Mr. Wallace, M.P., passed through Glasgow on Saturday, for the purpose of being present at the debate on the sugar qu estion on Monday evening. It is generally known Mr. W. has &heavy stake in Jamaica property ; on that account the circumstance of his thus exerting himself in ' his place in Parliament for the breaking up of the sugar monopoly, which we have -no doubt he will do, is another proof to the many he has formerly given of the disinterested public services he renders to the countty.— Glasgow Post. HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN DOWAGER'S EMBARKA TION AT DOVER FOR CALAIS.—A special train has been en gaged to convey her Majesty to Cologne; 'where apartments at the Royal Hotel have been commanded to be in readiness.

CAUTION TO CAII-DRIVERS AND CONDUCTORS.-- The Registrar of the metropolitan public carriages has given notice to the Commissioners of Police that a ge neral renewal of licenses to drivers and conductors, ac companying an issue of new metal tickets, has just taken place; that on and after. the Ist of June all persons act ing in the above capacities wearing the old metal tickets will be doing so illegally, and their , tickets may be in stantly seized,,in order to be returned to • the Registrar. The distinction between the , new and old tickets may be detected at a glance, the former being much smaller and lighter, with the figures 'larger, and the , crown without the letters "V. R." The above regulation has, it is believed, been adopted in consequence of a large number of persons being in the habit of using badges obtained by them from those to whom licenses were before granted.

Nothing occurred to bring discredit upon the populace, or interrupt the solemn harmony of the day. An attempt to disturb this harmony was, how ever, made at the last moment by a proposal for an ovation in honour of M. •Berauger. That gentleman being in - one of the carriages of the procession which were returning from the cemetery, some young men were desirous of taking off the horses, and harnessing themselves to the carriage, but the horse municipal guards came up, and prevented the accom plishment of this object. The horses were then put to a gallop, and set off under au escort of municipal guards. It was nearly half-past six when this occurred, and the Boulevards were stilt crowded with spectators " SUMMARY OF NEWS AND tilubitt Optitton. " Who runs may read." FOREXG2+.I. Printed placards have been posted up in various parts of Paris, announcing the intention of opening a subscription, on the part of the people, for a monument to the memory of M. Jacques Laffitte. Her Royal Highness the Princess Clementine and Prince Augustus of Saxe-Coburg, her husband, arrived at Brussels on Wednesday by the railroad, and immediately proceeded to the Palace of Laeken. La Presse states that it is now certain that the northern railroad will be made by Government. " During the whole of the illness of M. Laffitte," says the Moniteur Parisien," the King sent daily to make inquiries as to his state." This is denied by the National. The clerks of the bank of Laffitte have all gone into mourn ing for the death of their respected chief. The Revue de Paris states that negotiations are pending for a new postal treaty between France and Spain, and the re gular establishment of post-office steamers for Barcelona, Malaga, &c. A considerable crowd collected last night, says Galignani, on the quays and open places to look at the eclipse of the moon. The weather was most favourable, and the whole of the phases were distinctly visible. About ten the diminu tion of the moon's brightness was very perceptible, and at a quarter past eleven o'clock the luminary was completely hidden. It was curious to observe the increasing brightness of the stars as the light of the moon diminished. Venus was particularly brilliant. The Queen of Saxony has arrived at Munich on a visit to the Royal Family of Bavaria. her Majesty alighted at the Royal residence. The King of Saxony is not expected to return to Dresden before the end of July. The King of Hanover, it is said, intends to proceed to Vienna in the course of this summer. The Crown Prince of Hanover will shortly repair to Norderney, and the Crown Princess to Ems and Wiesbaden. Prince Metternich gene a superb ball on the 19th ultimo, at his villa, near Vienna, in honour of the marriage of his Imperial Highness Archduke Albrecht, of . Austria, and Princess Heldegarde, of Bavaria, which was honoured by the presence of the Emperor and Empress of Austria, the Dowager Empress of Austria, and all the Imperial as well as by five hundred of the elite of Vienna. It was the first grand fete the Dowager Empress attended since the de mise of the late Emperor Francis. Sir Robert Gordon's grand ball, intended for the 24th ult., in honour of Queen Victo r i a ' s birthday, was expected to be unusually brilliant this season. The Archduchess Maria Louisa is shortly to join the Imperial Family circle, after which her Imperial Highness will repair to one of the German spas. One of the Paris journals states that the Countess de Lamotte, who played so deplorable a part in the affair of the necklace of Marie Antoinette, died lately at a house in the Faubourg St. Germain, aged eighty. According to accounts from Geneva, M. Joseph Barman, one of the leaders of the late insurrection, had arrived there, with about 150 men, who had succeeded in making their escape within him. In the first instance he took refuge in Savoy, where he was well received, but he was sent back to Switzerland under an escort. The authorities of the Upper Valais have declared Sion in a state of siege, and thrown a great number of the Society of La Jeune Suisse into prison. The Castellano,of Madrid, of the 24th, states from Alicant, that when the post left that place on the 20th, the Govern ment tobacco-manufactory was in flames, and no hope was entertained that any part of the building would be saved. COUILT-WASZEIONAZILE. The Duke of Rutland left town on Saturday morning by the seven o'clock train, on the South-Western Railway, for Lymington, for the purpose of inspecting his beautiful yacht Resolution, preparatory to proceeding on a trip up the Medi terranean. The Resolution has recently undergone a thorough overhauling and refitting, and is now in excellent trim. His Grace returned to town the same evening. The Countess Dowager of Hardwicke has arrived on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Mexborough from Tittenhanger hall, near St. Alban's. The Duke and Duchess of Montrose received a distinguished party at dinner, on Friday last, at their mansion in Belgrave sq9are. The Marquis of Londonderry's grand military banquet on the 24th instant will be given to the Duke of Wellington, as Commander-in Chief, the staff at head quarters, Colonels Reid and M'Douall, and the officers of the 2d Life Guards, of which corps his Lordship is Colonel; and in the evening the Marchioness will throw open her splendid saloons to the elite of the haut ton. Countess Bjornstjerna had an assembly on Friday night. About 200 persons of distinction, including most of the fo reign ministers, were present. The Lord Chancellor and Lady Lyndhurst entertained his Excellency Baron Niemnann, Marquis of Worcester, Earl and Countess of Jersey, Earl and Countess of Beverley and Lady Louisa Percy, Lord Brougham, Lord Claude Hamil ton, Count de Noailles, Madlle. D'Este, Lady Whichcate, Right Hon. J. W. Croker, Mr. Lovell, and a select party, at dinner, on Thursday last, at the residence of the Noble and Learned Lord, in George-street. Her Ladyship had a soirée after dinner. Cards have been issued for soirees, on Wed nesdays, throughout the present month. On Saturday the Archbishop of Canterbury and Mrs. How ley gave a dinner party, at which were present the Bishop of Kip )11 and Mrs. Longley, the Countess of Mansfield, the Earl and Countess of Kinnoul, Lady Caroline Murray, Lord and Lady Barrington, Lady Catherine Douglas, Lord Sandon, and several other persons of rank. MISCELLANEOUS. The preparations for the Polish ball, which is fixed for Monday, the 10th instant, continue to be carried on with the greatest activity. The ladies patronesses is with each other in forming quadrilles and polkas, and, from the assiduity with which the latter dance is practised, we expect that it will be danced at the Polish Ball in a manner fully to jus tify the vogue it bas obtained. The sale of tickets has been quite unprecedented ; a circumstance which may be ac counted for by the fact that there are many persons, not in the habit of attending such entertainments, who are desirous of testifying their sympathy for the Poles by their presence on this occasion. On Friday night the annual grand fancy dress ball, the funds arising from which are devoted for the benefit of the Royal Academy of Music, was given at the Hanover. square Rooms, and we are happy to say, must have proved highly beneficial for that excellent national establishment. There were one thousand tickets taken for the ball, and it was cal culated that above nine hundred personages of fashion were present. _ On Sunday morning a litter, which has been:addressed by the Lord Bishop of London to the clergy of his diocese, was read in every church and chapel throughout London, and those parts of the suburbs under the jurisdiction of his Lord ship, on the subject of an appeal to their respective congre gations in behalf of the erection and endowment of addi tional churches in the metropolis. The letter concluded with a request that, on Sunday next, a collection should be made in every church and chapel within his diocese, for the purpose of providing a fund for the erection of additional churches: COURT CIRCULAR. bee, WINDSOR, MONDAY.—The Queen and Prince?/.$ t' accompanied by the Ki ng o f S axon y, arrive. , 00 , Castle five minutes bef ore f our o ' c l oc k this afro from the Slough station of the Great Western having travelled from town by a special train' D i gif royal suites, including the Viscountess Canni n g'il e al Caroline Cocks, Hon.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE. As the time for the departure of Madame Thillon draws near, the desire to hear her; and the enthusiasm of her admirers—and they include all who have had the happiness of hearing hen —appears to increase. She appeared last evening for her last representation but three, and long before the rising of the curtain not a seat was to be obtained in any part of- the house. A rich treat had those who were so fortunate as to procure places, for never did this aceomplished artiste appear to greater advantage, never was she in better voice, and never was the marvellous flexibility of that voice more beautifully exhibited than it was last evening. Her fioriture in the scene with Henrique, in the second act, was absolutely astonish ing. It is impossible for those who have not heard her to form the remotest idea of the exceeding beauty and exquisite taste of her singing. Her great natural powers have been cultivated to the highest possible pitch of perfection, and our fair- countrywoman now takes her 'Alice 'as one of the most accomplished artistes in the world. She was called for twice at the conclusion of the opera, and was received each time with showers of boquets andshouts of applause. A new piece, entitled the Alehyrnisea Daughter, followed ; and, a thing of very uncommon occurrence at this theatre, was anything but successful. The audience certainly•gave•it a fair trial, and waited most patiently before they expressed their - disapprobation. It was strongly cast. Eugenie Proapere, Morris Barnett, and Wright,. sustained the different characters. The latter, by his looks,' kept the audience in good humour while be was on the -stage, and Prospere exerted herself to the utmost.; but even Pro4pere's exertions were insuf ficient to save it from condemnation, and the curtain fell amidst a storm of hisses. The beautiful ballet of Leda followed, which completely restored the good humour and satisfaction of the audience. Public prayers were offered up on Sunday, in some of the Roman Catholic . chapels of the - metropolis, for the welfare of kr. O'Connell and his fellow prisoners. . MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT MORICE TOWN WHITSUNTIDE FAIR.—On Tuesday evening a • boy lost his life, and several other persons were injured'at Morice Town (Devonport) fair, owing to the breaking down of a swinging machine. The machine in question is a hol low wheel; about thirty' feet in- diameter, withi n Whi c h " boats," as they ' are styled, are , suspended, and it is whirled round in a vertical direction, instead of horizon tally,like the welt-known " roundabouts," by iron wheels in:the - centre; similar to the improved windlass., It ap pears that when in full motion and a number of passengers were thus suspended in the air, a loud crack ing noise , waS heard; and beforeits cause could be ascer tained, the centre of the - apparatus gave way and it fell with a tremendous. crash to the ground. The scene for the , momenrwarterrific, the ground being. strewn with unfortunate persons who had been dashed upon 'it, , and their shrieks were appalling. A lad named John Warn, ten years old, - was picked up almost lifeless, several of his bones being fractured, and he died a short time after. No other person was dangerously • hurt, though few of those in the machine escaped Without considerable in- 0 0 :: jury.-----Devoriport Independent. - nkil gas 15 ESCAPE FROM GOAL.. ---William • Car, a private of ' qw MS ..,6 pad' Gaol, „76th regiment of Foot, eonfined in the.
