The sensation caused by this unrivalled pro diction Is beyond all former precedent; the artist, the amateur, the casual observer are all struck with its extraordinay beauty and fidelity of delinea tion,dod •re unanimous in pronouncing it the most wonderful ex hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific display at Dusk is unjust; it should be seenin the calm stillness of the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa cious Lake, to be fully appreciated. The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS on Mondays, Tues days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays conoucted uy Mr. Godfrey , are up-ri a scale of more than usual excellence; lint words tail in doing justice to the awful representation of THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON.

The scenes which have taken place in Sinde within the last two years are perhaps the most remarkable on record. Major OUTRAM, with about a hu n d re d men, was taken by surprise at Hyderabad, but by his daring courage, seconded by the bravery of his com panions, he succeeded in reaching the camp of Sir CHARLES NAPIER. That gallant General, one of the three NAPIERS so well known by Englishmen and Frenchmen, too, for their exploits in the Peninsula, was in a situation no less critical than that from which OUTRAM had escaped. He was about to be surrounded by at least forty thousand men, com manded by the hunting Ameers of Sinde, and among these was a large body of Beloochees, the most warlike race on the Indus. The Anglo-Indian force did not exceed three thousand men, but NAPIER was not dismayed. The enemy were en trenched in a strong position, with numerous • -^Nrs .L_Ciavalry, and a powerful artillery, and • /i r th confidence to a complete victory. ,:r(tv4r, however, soon put to rout this vast Z. • / !s v !..4./ i S host ; the Ameers were taken prisoners, the Beloochees fled in every direction, and in a few days Hyderabad, with all its treasures, was in possession of the victor. A second attempt was made some fifteen days after wards, and the result was equally honourable to the British arms. All the hostile troops were soon ex pelled from the country, and the mouth of the Indus was secured to England. With a strange perversity, however, nearly all the London journals made violent attacks on Lord ELLENISOROUGH and Sir CHARLES NAPIER for these noble achievements : they described the Ameers as martyrs, exhibited great compassion for their unoffending subjects, and when the usual un healthy season came on, and some of our troops were attacked by fever, one of these journals asserted that such was the prostration of the British army that a few Beloochees might have put them all to death. We took a different view of the state of affairs, chiefly from the conviction that a fever on the banks of the Indus was not more fatal than one on the banks of the Ganges, and that, although some of the lying ournals of Bombay and Calcutta gave the most me lancholy accounts of the ravages committed by this epidemic, their exaggerations were so glaring that no rational being could consider them entitled to the slightest credit. Time has brought the truth to light. Never was an army in finer condition than that of Sir CHARLES NAPIER, according to the latest intelli- gence, and never was a nation so delighted at the dethronement of despots as the Be loochees and the other inhabitants of Sinde. No disturbance whatever has taken place in the whole extent of the country: the removal of the Ameers is felt as one of the greatest blessings that could have been conferred on their subjects, because they were oppressed ten times more than were the op pressed people of other Indian States. The govern ment of the English has inspired these simple hearted people with the highest hopes, and no portion of the British possessions in the East is more secure now than the valuable territory which, but two years ago, was under the uncontrolled dominion of the hunting Ameers and the plundering Beloochees. Could there lib a better proof than the scene which took place before Sir CHARLES NAPIER, at Hydera bad, on the 24th of May ? We have no instance of such a magnificent and peaceable display. Twenty thousand Beloochees assembled at Hyderabad on that day, the birth-day of our gracious QUEEN, to pay a friendly visit to Sir CHARLES NAPIER. They were orderly in the extreme ; they were received with the utmost kindness, and they separated, astonished at the mildness of civilised nations, and at the punctual fidelity with which every promise made to them had been observed. It is this honourable conduct, which has raised the British name to such an eminence in India, and which promises to spread its influence over every spot of that vast continent. No man acquainted with the state of the country can look at the acquisition of Sinde without the greatest exultation. The chains have been broken from the limbs of the slaves, the industry of the people has been set at liberty, the exactions of the Ameers have ceased, and a regular system of government has been established, but even these advantages, great as they are, sink into compa rative insignificance when we survey the vast results of this atrocious aggression." The Indus is free from Kurrachee to the confines of Affghanistan and the Punjaub; a new trade has sprung up; the pro duce of the upper region is floated down the river ; fortresses will in a short time be established on its banks, which will set at defiance all the forces of the west, and the hopes of Russia and Persia for the in vasion of India are at an end. England owes this great achievement to the discarded Governor-General and to the hero of Meanee. One of those provincial causes which are some times found, on trial, to involve considerations of a character far more grave and extensive than might, on the mere statement of the facts be surmised of them, was tried, last week, at the Kent Summer Assizes. It was an action for libel, " LEE v. MEAD,'' and, although we cannot find room for the report of the proceedings, argument of counsel, &c., before Mr. Baron PARKE, we will endeavour, very suc cinctly, to assign the grounds on which the action was brought. The plaintiff, a lime-burner, resident in the vicinity of Rochester, was interested as a share holderin the " Thames and Medway Canal Company?' At a general meeting of the shareholders in this con cern, held in the early part of the year, a proposition for forming a railway along the banks of this canal was submitted for discussion ; and an estimate of the pro bable outlay having been brought forward, the work was ordered to be proceeded with, it being agreed that the necessary funds should be raised on loan notes. Accordingly the whole of the capital required was very soon contributed by the proprietors, and the railway, according to the statement of the plain tiff's counsel, will be opened very shortly from this date. There is, therefore, no reason to doubt that the " bond fide" intention of this Company is to carry out to its full completion the undertaking they have announced. It happened, however, that when their project was started, other lines of railway were suggested, and proposals for them published "for uniting Gravesend with Rochester and Chatham." Of these, one was termed the "Rosherville line ;" an other " Matthews's line," from the name of a soli citor who had projected it; and both are now, or lately were, competing lines before Parliament. It is not necessary for us to express an opinion on the merits of either ; but it does appear by the evidence of Mr. WEsTorr, the banker of Southwark, with whom the Rosherville Company banked, that he re ceived instructions, personally in the first instance, from a director of that Company with regard to Mr. MEAD, 'the defendant, a note of which was entered at the time upon the bank books. These instructions were subsequently reduced into the form of an " agreement, " which was taken away by the director in question, but afterwards brought back to witness by MEAD ; who, thereupon, destroyed it in his presence. The substance of such agreement was a covenant, on the part of the Rosherville Company's direction, to pay to MEAD the sum of 6001. When MEAD waited on witness on the occasion of bringing back and destroying the paper "the Bill had been thrown out on the standing orders." According to the statement of Mr. Ser geant SHEA, " Mr. MEAD, for good and sufficient reasons, thought fit to advocate in his paper, the superior claims to public favour of the Rosherville line ;" and the Learned Sergeant added, he should be able to prove that MEAD had bound himself, on condition "of receiving 5001. to advocate the claims of that railway, and to op pose all the others suggested, in the columns of the Kent Independent." But Mr. lirEsToN, in his evidence, admitted "he had no conversation with MEAD, when the latter waited on him with the agreement, as to what was to be done for the G 001.;" "but "Mead proposed that, if he continued his services, the directors should pay him 300/. down, and the re mainder on the Bill receiving the royal assent. This was not agreed to. It had been intimated to witness that the money had been agreed to be paid for Par liamentary services in canvassing Members of Par liament. * * * After the Bill had been thrown out, these services were not required." We should wonder if they had been. Assuming that the money was to be paid, if at all, for Parlia mentary agency, the fact of the Bill being thrown out for non-compliance with the standing orders was an emphatic set-off, we should think, for any claim on that score. If it was to reimburse the "Independent' editor for writing one " line" up and all others down, the " quantum meruit" determinable by the amount ofhis success, must have been pretty accurately represented by the symbol 0. If the gentlemen whose eagerness as directors originally induced them to suggest such an agreement with Mr. MEAD for his canvassing ser vices in the lobby and committee-rooms of the House of Commons, had been still so credulous as to have persisted in retaining them after the defeat of the Bill upon the orders, we should have marvelled almost as much as we have done, at finding an editor of a provincial journal thus enlisting himself and his paper in the cause of a private undertaking, for an interested purpose. The only legitimate client of a journalist is the public ; and this sort of partisanship is at all times a dereliction of his duty to that client. We can by no means, howeYer, go to the extent of designating this transaction, as the Maidstone and South Eastern Gazette has done, an attempt "to bribe Members of Parliament." We must suppose that, whatever estimate may be formed of the modesty of Mr. MEAD'S claim for 5001. or 6001. (it is variously stated), the appropriation of the sum was intended to be in discharge of professional expenses—and his own services. The "Radical Members" must feel greatly indebted for the imputation which this gentle man's vague manner of proceeding appears to have exposed them to—very wrongfully as we are con fident. But the amusing part of the affair is the subject matter of the libel. The Kent Independent of the 2d March published two letters : the one to the Editor, signed by that übiquitous and very civil gen tleman " A Constant Reader :" the other, an inclo sure, addressed to a certain " My dear HAYMEN,"— headed " Private and confidential," and purporting to be intended for the veritable " Mr. HAnsEN" pro duced as a witness on the part of the plaintiff; and signed by " 'WILLIAM LEE," whose identity with the latter was carefully suggested by the writer's dating from one of the addresses of that gentleman. " A Constant Reader" informed the Editor that he had picked up the inclosure in one of the steam boats, and that "it showed very clearly what was going on behind the scenes. "Mr. WILLIAM LEE," writing to Mr. laymEN, is made to speak of "a recent exposure of the falling in of the chalk in the tunnel of our own concern"—of the " bedevilment" MAT THEWS had led him into with his subscription list, and of his (LEE'S) fear " that the whole affair will be exposed before they can get out ;" of his having in structed the Secretary of the (Thames and Medway) Company to deny all statements of adverse parties, true or false, "so that, by putting on a bold front, they may catch a few flat fish ;" and of his having laid a delusive wager of two to one with the parson of Frindsbury to show confidence in the concern," &c. &c. Perhaps the reader will have anticipated that these letters are altogether fabrications—gross forgeries, without one tittle of truth in all the imputations they were evidently fabricated with a view to fasten on an ap parently highly respectable gentleman, Mr. LEE, the plaintiff. But when the editor of the Kent Indepen dent is applied to for the name of the author, he re plies in a strain of, we must call it, indecent levity, and affects to treat the whole affair as " a squib ;" it being considered nothing more, this correspondence had been inserted—and that he should as soon expect the Editor of Punch to be amenable to legal applications on behalf of Sir C. F. WILLIAMS or Lord BROUGHAM for the hard hits occasionally dealt by our facetious weekly contemporary on both those individuals. Now, here is just the mischief of a dull, heavy-handed and very reckless anonyme attempting to gambol like our spirited and airy friend. The absolute prejudice which the forgery was calculated to produce to Mr. LEE in his commercial or trading position, was indis putably shown by evidence. The inconceivable in justice of the Independent's quoting Punch for " his bright example, as it is his theme," is abundantly manifested by the very curious letter of Mr. MEAD to DICKSON and OVERBURY, Mr. LEE'S solicitors. In this we fall upon the following morceau—a grammatical curiosity which Punch's ingenuity may perhaps elucidate :—" I have heard of a gentle man named LEE, who is said to be a lime-burner; but had I have desired to possess myself of his Christian name," &c. A verdict for 501. damages has probably admonished the Editor of the Independent, with sufficient force, of the folly of attempting to be very droll, when the effort involves attacks on pri vate character, which no other person in the empire would once have suspected of having been ever intended for " a joke." " Squibs" to be endurable, should burn a little more brightly, and be thrown a little less maliciously. We have intelligence from Madrid to the 28th ult., from which we learn that an extraordinary courier had arrived from Gibraltar, at the British Legation, with the following intelligence : " The Prince de Joinville having learnt that the Moors had a third time attacked the French troops, his Royal Highness has addressed an official communication to the Governor of Gibraltar, and the commander of the English squadron. He states in the dispatch that he is proceeding to Tangiers in order to attack that place, and that he doubts not, from the harmony prevailing between France and England, that the English squadron will, during his operations, abstain from appearing off Tangier. The Governor of Gibraltar and Com mander of the Squadron have replied that the instructions of their Government order them to observe the strictest neu trality. That neutrality is to be observed until the arrival of fresh orders. It is affirmed, adds the letter, that the'French squadron opened its fire against Tangiers on the 24th." A letter from Cadiz of the 24th contains the fo tovving:— " Yesterday, on the arrival of a dispatch from Marshal Bugeaud, the contents of which are not known, the Prince de Joinville immediately went on board the vessel bearing his flag, and set sail for the coast of Morocco. It has since been rumoured here, in consequence of some indiscretion on the part of one of the persons to whom the Prince had imparted his intentions, that he has gone to Tangier, to bring away the consuls and French subjects residing there, and to land them at Cadiz. This step was regarded as preliminary to the decisive measures which the Prince was authorised and de termined to adopt."

PEEL in the House of Commons last week, relative to the impri sonment of Mr. PRITCHARD, have caused a great sen sation in Paris. Nearly all the journals are loud in denouncing the haughty language of the English Minister, and what some of them call the "timid and trembling " expressions of M. GUIZOT. On Satur day afternoon the Chamber of Peers was crowded to excess, drawn together from an expectation that some questions would be put to the Minister on the subject. On his arrival questions were put by the Marquis DE BOISSY and another Peer, to which M. GUIZOT re plied :—" There are doors which must not be opened every time they are knocked at ; so long as the proper time shall not have arrived, I shall not enter into ex planations calculated to injure the general interests of the country. lam of opinion, that all the assertions put forth by newspapers ought not to be noticed at this tribune. When the facts shall be known and cleared up, I shall be ready to accept a debate on all that the Government may have done." The Prince DR MOSKOWA defended the course pursued by the Noble Peer, and said, after the remarks made by Sir R. PEEL, explanations were absolutely necessary. Several other Peers took the same view; and among others, Count MOLE, who expressed his regret that, while the Cabinet observed a prudent reserve, it did not afford some words of encouragement to the French officers who commanded at Otaheite. M. GUIZOT replied that he was intent on upholding the honour and dignity of the navy elsewhere, and he could not answer questions in that hall without more full in quiry. The subject was also adverted to on Friday, but in the absence of the Ministers, when Baron CHARLES DUPIN made the following remarks : " I am not one of those who regard war with extraordinary uneasiness. France is too well accustomed to war to feel alarmed at such a contingency, or its consequences. lam no partisan of war—l defended peace in 1840, but in preach ing concord I frankly declared, that if we had no other alter native than war, we would engage in it with ardour—nay, with transport. Permit me to add a few words on a recent question connected in the highest degree with the navy and the colonies. I have seriously reflected on the intelligence just received through England—l have read all the official documents published by the English journals, who are not certainly very friendly towards us. Well, these documents proved to me what I already knew—that the officers of our navy who commanded at Otaheite have acted pro perly, and as behoves brave and rational men. They had received from the King's Government the order to govern the country—they have governed it—they wished the French flag should maintain the advantage. And when an individual, Consul or not, accumulating I know not how many profes sions, many of them most honourable, forgot his quality— not the quality of an Ambassador, but of a Consul—that is of commercial agent—and became an instigator of revolt, I say that no Government would have hesitated an instant to arrest such a man, taken in the act of exciting insurrection. Nevertheless, gentlemen, our officers treated him with every attention, the English journals themselves admit it, and pub lish the document in which it is recommended to treat with kindness a conspirator who bad infringed all laws and vio lated the rights of nations. Such is the truth. Without in flicting the least injtuy on that factious Consul, he:was con ducted on board an English vessel, in which he left the country. Let him now complain to his Government; let the British Parliament inquire into the facts. The British Parliament knows how to respect the laws of nations. There is in the majority of both Houses of that illustrious political body, eminent men, who, no doubt, value national honenr above all , things, as we do ourse l ves , b u t w ho also value justice. • will venture to affirm from this tribune that there is no statesman who, after perusing the documents published by the English journals, the most inimical to France, will not declare that the agents of the French Government acted correctly. I consider those documents to be authentic; and a letter from Otaheite, received yesterday by a general officer, a friend of mine, who communicated it to me, convinces me that the Governor of Otaheite did hi s d u ty. If h e was attacked I should be the first to undertake his defence from the tribune." In conclusion, M. Dupin said, "By voting the Bill now before the House, you will place the Naval Department in a condition to provide as speedily as possible against all con tingencies—l except none. It is a law of good administra - tion ; it is in every respect satisfactory ; you may vote it with an entire confidence." The Baron was repeatedly cheered during these re marks, and was greeted by many of the Peers on leav ing the tribune. The excitement, however, is not confined to the Chamber of Peers. On Friday a grand demonstration took place at the Opera on the performance of CHARLES VI. In the second act the national air beginning— " Guerre aux tyrans! Jamais en France, Jamais I'Anglais ne regnera !" was called for, when the manager, M. Priam, came . _ forward and said it would be sung in the second act. It was executed with a powerful chorus, And rapttt rously applauded. The affair has evidently become serious, and it will require all the skill of the two ca cabinets to crush the tumult. The Funds were verb depressed on Saturday, the Three per Cents. having fallen to 81f. 20c., and the Fives to 121 f. 30e. With the eiceptiori of two Go vernment papers, the press evinces stithg kali* a hostility to this country. The following are extracts from them:— (From the Journal des Debats.) " The English journals continue to comment on the news brought from Otaheite by Mr. Pritchard. The Times, how ever, appears to regret the hasty judgment which it gave on facts but very cursorily examined. It still cries out, but not in so high a tone ; and it admits:that it has been mistaken on one very important point. At the moment when Mr. Pritchard was imprisoned, the French authorities no longer exercised at Otaheite the right of protectorate, but of sovereignty. There was no other constituted authority in the Society Islands than that of the French flag. This fact the English journal now admits, and it is what we have stated from the commencement of the affair. Mr. Pritchard was no longer Consul. In the month of December, 1843, he wrote to the French Commandant that he had struck his flag, and, until the receipt of fresh instructions, should cease all official relations. Even in virtue of the laws of the protectorate, the French authorities had a right to expel from the islands any foreign residents or missionaries that might seek to disturb the established order of things, and they had a still stronger right to do so in virtue of the possession of sovereign power. Explanations have been asked on the subject of the English Parliament, to which Sir Robert Peel replied that a demand for reparation had been made to the French Government. On this point, we can only repeat what we have before stated. Has or has not Mr. Pritchard, by his conduct, justified the measures of repression adopted against him? The English Government can only have formed a judgment oa his statement, and it cannot be expected that such testimony would be impartial. We doubt not that the French Government will be able on its side to bring forward evidence at least as worthy of credit, and we persist in thinking that explanations will be ex changed between the two Governments which cannot but have a satisfactory solution." (From the Globe.) " There probably may have been a useless severity, and perhaps an abuse of power on the part of M. d'Aubigny in de taining Mr. Pritchard six days in prison, and he would have acted better in causing his immediate embarkation, as Go vernor Bruat afterwards did ; but the demand for satisfac tion made by the English Cabinet can only evidently bear on the fact of the irregular detention of Mr. Pritchard, as a sim ple missionary mixed up in a positive manner in the outbreak of the natives, and whom the French authorities had indis putably the right, if not to detain six days in prison, at least to send out of the island. The difficulty, therefore, is not great, and those who so ardently desire a complication in the cordial relations subsisting between France and England will be again disappointed. As to the difficulties created by the Protectorate assumed by France, they must be accepted without complaint. They are the natural conditions of every extension of power; the world begins to be so full, that it is no longer possible to extend on an . y side without disarranging some one, and without having obstacles to surmount. If there ever was a time when political power might be ex tended without remark, that time is passed. Governments must now make up their minds to struggles, which is their natural condition, both at home and abroad. The only thing to do is to act prudently, to accept necessary difficulties, and not create useless ones." (From the ConstitutionneL) " We have never wished for war, nor any interruption of friendly relations with England ; but see to what this policy of peace at any price may lead. If, instead of disavowing Admiral Dupetit-Thouars, his conduct had been openly ap proved of, England would have acceded to it as a fait ac compli; the proceedings of M. d'Aubigny and Captain Bruat would not even have been made the subject of controversy ,• the Times would not have used the arguments it has urged against us; in every pint, in short, our difficulties would have been reduced to little, because our sovereignty, provi sionally exercised by our agents, would not have been brought in que s tio n . If, on the day Abd-el-Kader set his foot upon the Morocco territory, we had insisted upon his expulsion, he would not have acquired a force superior, per haps, to that of the Emperor himself, and we should not have been engaged in a war, the issue of which it is not easy to foresee, or in negotiations the problem of which is not solvable. M. Guizot, without consulting or comprehending the feelings of the nation, has, since 1840, without biding his time, hastened to reconcile England and France. He has increased the irritation of the minds of the people, wounded the just pride of the country, laid grounds for con flicts between the two navies, and created new causes for dissension in every part of the globe. We may add that M. Guizot did not dare show himself in the Chamber of Peers yesterday." (1 rom the Q uotidienne, a Legitimatist Journal.) "To approve of the conduct of MM. Bruat and d'Aubigny would be equivalent to removing the disavowal which rests on Admiral Dupetit-Thouars. The reparations will, there fore, be granted—everything will be accorded. The path of cowardice and ignominy opened by the disavowal will be per severed in. It is a necessity of the situation that has been imposed on France by the conduct of the Government—a ter rible necessity, against which the shuddering and indignation of the country will protest. If the English Government there fore demands all that the Times has threatened, the French Government must comply. M. Guizot cannot bring forward any argument against doing so, for he has placed on the Ad miral the responsibility of the taking possession. That dis avowal clogs the Government. It was before supposed to be but a slight disgrace ; but now the cup must be drained to the dregs !" (From the Presse.) " Thus we see Sir R. Peel, on the authority of Mr. Prit chard's testimony, which is necessarily interested, qualifying in full Parliament the conduct of the French authorities in terms strangely in contrast with his usual tone of language ! Why, before expressing himself in this manner, has he not sought to knew the motives which influenced the authorities to adopt such measures? Why did he not wait for other in formation as to the conduct of Mr. Pritchard, besides that given by that person himself ? Why did he not understand that in thus expressing himself, he has followed in the course of a man whose turbulent spirit is a subject of distrust to every one ? What necessity was there for him to reply so hastily to the question of Sir C. Napier? Why pledge him self prematurely, without previous inquiry, without having any other guarantee than a passionate and partial version of the affair, by declarations which would place the French Government in the most delicate position ? It must be ob served that, in this circumstance, moderation is quite on the side of our Cabinet. On Thursday, M. Guizot was questioned on the subject in the Chamber of Peers; he might have at tacked and expressed himself with harshness on the acts of Mr. Pritchard, and have replied by some marks of appro bation to the gross reproaches made against the conduct of the Governor of the Society Islands. Ile would have been the more justified in doing so, as the conduct of the English ex-Consul (Mr. Pritchard) was as well known to him as the moderation and loyalty of Captain Bruat. He, however, did nothing of the kind ; he let the question drop rather than take the initiative in a discussion which might oblige him to enter into details little honourable to an English agent. Sir Robert Peel should have used the same reserve. There is more than a want of tact in his conduct • there is an indiscretion, which merits a seve re ep ith e t. Ind in what a situation has he publicly placed himself ? On the demand of the missionary Pritchard, or rather of the fanatical sect of which Pritchard is the representative, he has announced that he has demanded from Paris not explanations but reparation. Reparation, indeed ! It is we, on the contrary, who have to complain." (From the Courrier Francais.) " Thus while the French HeapMitry keep silence, Sir Robert Peel's starts the question) roclaims the innocence of Mr. Pritchard and the violation of the right of nations by the French officers at Otaheite ; he hastens to declare Great Britain grossly and indignantly outraged in the per son of her Consul, and concludes his speech by talking of a reparation due to France I To what are we reduced, when a Lord of the Treasury, before he has examined the whole question, shall in the whole face of Europe let fall the word reparation from France ? Is the House of Commo ns th e supreme tribunal to decide on the h onour o f our na ti on Is Sir Robert Peel to decide, and M. Guizot the person to obey ? Is the sentence irrevocably passed on the officers of our navy ? Has the English Minister on the other side the Straits only to proclaim the sentence, and to say to M. Guizot, I, lictor. M. Guizot commenced a pusillanimous concession, and now a fresh act of cowardice is demanded from him. In this deplorable affair, France began by a dis avowal, and will finish by a reparation. No, we cannot be lieve it, it is time to put a stop to such an infamous course I Never were we so degraded I Never under the Restoration would a Ministry have held the honour of France so cheap I The English reign in France,' for we suffer their insults, and confide to them the care of our affairs, and their reign will continue as long as M. Guizot sh a ll rema i n i n office. Expel M. Guizot, or do not sing The English shall never reign in France.' Stupid Ministry, or stupid people—it is one or the other." z, 0. ,.. .._,, , ...1,, ... 4.: :,.,t. :7 ,.......,... N 11 .. 105/ 1031 RAILWAY SHARES.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) James Phompson, a young; man, disgiutvi as a groom, but who is known to be the common associate of convicted thieves, was committed for two months' hard labour, on a charge of attempting to pick the pockets of three different gentlemen as they were leaving the Opera at the close of the perform ance on Saturday night last. Lately a gang of six or eight pickpocks, waiting in concert, have committed a number of daring depredations there. John Legate, who described himself as an ivory -turner, was charged with ha v i ng b een f oun d on t h e prem i ses o f Lord Francis Egerton, in Cleveland square, St. James's. It appears that lately the pleasure-grounds surrounding his Lordship's house in Cleveland-square, now being rebuilt, have on several occasions been plundered of some valuable roots, plants, and other property. Between seven and eight o'clock this morning, as police constable 191 of the E division was on duty on the spot. He saw the prisoner within the garden inclosure, and as he was coming out he stopped him, carrying a basket, which was found to contain some roots and other articles, but scarcely of even nominal value. The prisoner, on called on for his defence, gave a very unsatisfactory account of himaelf, and was ordered, for the present, to be detained. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) There was a large number of drunk and disorderly cases, but none of them possessed any interest. UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.) The business of this morning was the heaviest that has been known at this office for a number of years, the charges amounting to upwards of seventy, which at ence shows the necessity for a second police-office, which is now in the course of erection at Kennington. lane, and will be ready for business at Michaelmas next. Independent of the above cases, there is a very heavy"case of forgery against three foreigners, which cannot be disposed of until a late hour in the day, when some important disclosures are expected to take place. Frederick Taylor, charged with gambling on the Sabbath morning, was ordered to find sureties for his good be haviour for twelve months. John Jackson was charged with stealing a horse and cab, and coat, on the 20th of July last, the property of William Jackson, from the Spotted Dog in the Strand. The prosecutor intrusted the prisoner with his horse and cab while he went into the Spotted Dog to get his breakfast, when the prisoner took an opportunity of driving away with the cab, and nothing further was heard of him for several days, when the horse and cab was found on the ranks in Blackfriars road, near the Running Horses. The coat had not since been heard of. Information was sent to the police of the robbery, and the prisoner was taken into custody on Saturday night. The prisoner was remanded for further evidence. Mary Ann Brocksop was brought up in the custody of Police constable 127 M, charged with robbing her ready furnished lodgings, and plundering the house of several articles of great value, all of which she pawned.—As there were several other cases against the prisoner she was re manded until Wednesday. The prisoner was not in want, but plundered the house for the purpose of obtaining drink. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY. Factors were much more firm in their demands than for some time past. For the finest descriptions of both red and white English Wheat an advance of is per quarter was gene rally required, but which the millers were unwilling to give; however, the trade for tkat description of produce may be con sidered steady at prices quite equal to those of Monday last. During the past week, duty has been paid in London on about 47,500 quarters of foreign Wheat. Of English Barley scarcely a parcel was brought forward. Malting and distilling sorts supported their value, but grinding descriptions were is per quarter lower. For Malt last week's figures were with diffi culty supported. Beans and Peas at barely late rates. Flour was excessively dull, and a decline of 2s per 2801bs was sub mitted to. In seeds no advance can be noticed in prices. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Owing to the former arrivals the public sales now pro gressing will not be brought to a conclusion before Thursday next. Although the biddings are not very brisk, most of the parcels offered have found buyers at full quotations. TALLOW MARKET._ Again to•day;ehave to report this market without any change, either on the spot or prospectively ; business, as to speculative transactions, there is none, and the demand is very limited, owing chiefly to the weather being warm, and the supply of home Tallow good. Town Tallow is 40s 6d nett cash. OPENING OF THE OYSTER SEASON.—This morning (Monday), at six o'clock, the opening of the market at Bil lingsgate, for the sale of oysters for the season, took place in the customary manner. The supply was very limited, as compared with the quantity brought to shore some few years ago, but, in our opinion, quite as great as it was last season on the opening morning. A fleet of twenty-nine boats came up the river during yesterday. There were this morn ing but few of the calleis, or common oyster, the principal cargoes, consisting of Cheyne Rock, Old Barley Natives, Barley Rocks, and Native French. The commoner kind of fish fetched from 10s. to 14s. per bushel, the intermediate qualities 145., while the best realised 16s. The demand was exceedingly slack, not more than half the stock being sold out. by ten o'clock. With respect to the prospects of the season, it is the opinion of several salesmen, that the general supply will be better than that of last year, and that the quality, from the care which was throughout the last twelve months taken of the beds, will be found far superior. Prices, probably, will not be attended with much variation. The arrangements made by G. Goldham, Esq., Clerk of the Market, for the safety of the persons of buyers and the lives and limbs of all parties, cannot be too highly estimated by the public. At Hungerford Market the supply was moderate, and the de mand appeared brisker than at Billingsgate, several of the West-end fishmongers having made their purchases there. Prices the same. ST. MARYLIBONE.—TTIE POOR-LAW COMMIS SIONERS.—A r'ieeting of the St. Marylebone Vestry was held on Saturday, for the purpose of considering the recent in terference of the Poor-law Commissioners, and their threatened, intention of issuing rules, brders, and regula tions, for the management of Marylebone Workhouse. Mr. Lowe 'flaying been called tcithe chair, the correspondence between the directors and guardians and Poor law Commissioners, as also the evidence taken some time since before the Commissioners, at Fladong's Hotel, was read, and, after some discussion, ordered to be printed and circulated throughout the parish. The following resolutions were then proposed by Mr. Soden, and carried unanimously :—" That this vestry hear with ex treme surprise the threat of the Poor-law Commissioners to issue orders for the management of the poor of this parish, and thereby entirely subvert the principle of local self-government by a law not only unconstitutonal but grounded on injustice, unsuited to the wants and in sulting to the feelings of the deserving poor, most expensive in its machinery, and entirely inoperative for any general good."—" That the thanks of this Board be given to the Di rectors and Guardians for the very great ability displayed in their answer to the Poor-law Commissioners."—" That the vestry cordially agree with every word of such answer, and hereby express their entire confidence in the Board of Direo tors and Guardians, and urge upon them to use every legiti mate means in their power to prevent any inroads being made by the Poor-law Commissioners." NEW BRIDGE AT COLOGNE.—A letter from Co logne, of the 27th ult., states that the Government is about to erect a double bridge at that city across the Rhine, which will be unique of its kind. The two structures will be placed one over the other, the height of the upper one being 144 feet above the river. The lower bridge will be traversed by the railroad from Berlin to Cologne ; the upper one will be for horses, carriages and foot passengers. In the vacant space between the bridges will be placed Paixhans guns for the purpose of breaking the ice in the river when necessary, and of defending the city of Cologne in case of siege. Baron Crist'an de Hartmann, the engineer, will be entrusted with the erection of this work. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'Clock. NEW MEMBER Viscount VILLIERS took the oaths and his seat for Cirencester. DUKE OF HAMILTON'S ESTATE. The report on the Duke of Hamilton's Estate Bill was brought up. WED CRANSTOUN'S ESTATE. Lord Cranstoun's Estate Bill was read a thirl tin e and pr sscd. MERTON'S ESTATE. Merton's Este:Cellli wa., read a third time and passed. SWANSEA IMI=2OVEMENT. The Lords' amendments to the S;vansea Improvement Bill were agreed to. LONDON AND CROYDON RAILWAY. The Lords' amendments to the London and Croydon R tills ay Bill, No. 2, were agreed to. LEEDS VICARAGE BILL. Mr. BECKETT moved the third reading of the Leads Vicarage Bill. Mr. HARDY expressed his high approval of the Bill and passed a high eulogium on the Rev. Dr, Hook. Sir R. PEEL expressed his concurrence in the eulogium which had ben passed upon Dr. Hook. He thought the members of the Church of England in Leeds were de serving of great credit for the manner in which they had co-operated with Dr. Hook, and he hoped the example of Leeds would be followed in other large towns. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. PETITIONS. Mr. DARBY presented a petition from some place in Sussex in favour of the corn-laws. Mr. SPOONER presented a petition from certain Pro testants against the Roman Catholic Penal Laws Repeal Bill. Also a petition from the Bristol Chamber of Commerce against the Insolvent Debtors' Bill. Mr. DILLON BROWNE presented a petition from the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Tuam, and from four Roman Catholic Bishops, against the Charitable Donations and Bequests (Ireland) Bill. The Hon. Gen tleman moved that the petition should be read by the clerk at the table, and it was read accordingly. ROMAN CATHOLIC PENAL ACTS REPEAL BILL. Sir R. PEEL, in moving the second reading of this Bill, trusted that the House would throw no impediment in the way of the passing of it, notwithstanding the late period of the session at which it had come down from the Lords. A petition had been presented by the Hon. Member for iiirmingham against the Bill ; and from the wording of thz;!" petition he feared that many persons were labouring der a misunderstanding as to the meaning of the measure. He wished it to be distinctly understood that no security that bad been taken by the Act of 1829 for the Established Church was touched by this Bill. The effect of the measure was to place all Roman Catholics taking the Roman Catholic oath on the same footing with respect to franchise and civil rights as her Majesty's Protestant subjects. This Bill did not touch any of the securities of the measure of 1829 —it merely went to repeal certain laws which had long been a dead letter, and a discredit to the statute book, and from the penalties of which any Roman Ca tholic might escape by taking an oath which any Roman Catholic might take. The House of Lords had thought it advisable to repeal some of these laws. One of them made it a high crime to maintain the spiritual supre macy of the Pope, and this statute had been given a very wide interpretation in " Hawkins's Pleas of the Crown." Another punished Catholics for not attending Divine service on the sth of November ; another punished a Catholic for sending his child abroad for education ; another punished any man not born a Roman Catholic for educating his child in the Catholic faith. These were at variance with the Relief Act. There were ether Acts still more absurd—one was a law banishing PopisL recusants from London, or from any district within ten miles thereof; another forbade him from being more than five miles from his home ; another prohibited him from having a horse of above the value of 5/. It was true a Catholic might escape from these penalties by taking an oath, but if he refused to do so, would it he possible to execute such laws ? He did not consider they were conferring any favour on the Catholics, but they were clearing their own statute-book of laws which were a disgrace to it.—(Hear.) The measure had been long before the House of Lords, and it had been stated that if it could be shown that the Bill would repeal any law which ought to remain, that law would be suffered to remain. None such had been shown. Some he knew considered these laws as the bulwarks of the Church—but so far from being outworks of the Church, he thought they were outworks to be seized by reason and ridicule, to be used by reason and ridicule against the Church. They were adapted to other times, and the Establishment must now be de fended by others means—namely, by reason and the affectionate attachment of the people.—(Cheers.) Mr. HAWES wished to know if the obsolete laws re lating to Protestant Dissenters would be also repealed? Sir R. PEEL could not pledge himself to any mea sure. This Bill had come down from the House of Lords, and he hailed it as a satisfactory proof of the spirit by which that House was actuated. He did not propose it as a complete measure ; but if there were any laws imposing, for instance, heavy penalties on con scientious Dissenters who absented themselves from Divine service, he should support the repeal of such a law. Mr. M. MILNES said that if the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill had passed. it would have repealed many of those laws. Mr. HAWES—Which of the Bills ? Mr. M. MILNES—Botb. Mr. SPOONER thought the fears of the petitioners would be removed by the statement of the Right lion. Gentleman ' • but when they saw the way i n w hi c h f ormer concessions had been received by the Catholics, Protes tants might hare just cause to fear the fruits of further concessions. After a few words from Mr. D. BROWNE, Mr. CHRISTIE suggested the insertion of words in the Bill exempting Dissenters from Penalties for non attendance at church. Sir It PEEL hoped the Hon. and Learned Gentle man would not press his amendment, as it might en danger the passing of the Bill. The Bill was then read a second time and ordered to be committed. CHARITABLE DONATIONS AND BEQUESTS (IRELAND) BILL. On the order of the day for the third reading of this Bill being read, Mr. DILLON BROWNE expressed a hoped that the Bill would be postponed. It was opposed by the Catholic hierarchy of Ireland, and one of the grounds of his opposition to the Bill was that it continued the out lawry inflicted by the Relief Bill on the Jesuits. All the regular clergy of Ireland were excluded from the operation of the law, and the fact of the Hon. Member for Waterford expressing his approval of it was no reason why it should pass. That Hon. Gentleman did not possess the confidence of the Catholic clergy of Ireland. He did not conceive that the Irish Members in that House had given this Bill either a manly support or a manly opposition. Some Irish Members would ' have to account to their constituents for not giving this Bill a more efficient opposition. He believed that the Bill was proposed in a spirit of conciliation ; but that was not a sufficient inducement for him to support it. The Hon. Member concluded by moving that the Bill be read a third time that day six months. The amendment was not a conded. On the question that the Bill be read a third time, Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL said it had been his intention, if there had been a larger attendance of Irish Members, to move an amendment to the Bill. But while he ad mitted that the Bill contained great defects, he had felt it his duty to abstain from joining the opposition, after the best consideration which he had been able to give to the subject.—(Hear.) He liked the spirit which this Bill displayed, and this he thought of more importance than the words. The Bill was after all not compulsory ; property left for Catholic purposes in future would not necessarily come under the operation of the Commission, and he believed that, in voting for the measure, he would be doing no harm either to the religious or the political interests of Inland. It conferred a substantial benefit by raising the worldly condition of Catholic ministers, whilst at the same time it did not diminish their influence over their flocks. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. The Transfer of Property Bill was read a third time and passed. INSOLVENT DEBTORS BILL. The report on the Insolvent Debtors COMpensation Bill was brought up. On the motion for going into Committee on the In solvent Debtors Bill, Mr. HAWES said he had a petition to present from the officers of the Insolvent Debtors Court, London, praying for compensation. Before presenting it, however, he wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir J. Gra ham), whether that Court came under the operation of the Bill, because, if it did not, he would withdraw the petition. Sir J. GRAHAM said the clause was so framed as to include all the officers of any courts whose emoluments were diminished by the operation of the Act. Mr. HAWES said, under those circumstances, he should withdraw the petition. The House then went into Committee on the Bill. Clauses 51, 52, and 53 were agreed to. On clause 54 being proposed, Mr. M. PHILIPS said he objected to the sweeping change made by this clause, abolishing imprisonment for debt under 201. He opposed the clause, not as a mast er manufacturer, but for the benefit of the poor themselves. It would greatly diminish the credit which would be given to that class of'persons. The Hon. Member con cluded by moving the omission of the clause. Sir J. GRAHAM defended the clause, the words of which had, he said, been so framed as to give every facility to the creditor to recover his debt by proceeding against the goods of the debtor. Sir W. CLAY believed the clause would tend only to diminish spurious credit, whilst safe and sound credit would be encouraged. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, as the clause abolish ing imprisonment for debt was the essence of this Bill, he thought it would be better to postpone the clause, and take the general discussion on the third reading. The clause was then postponed. Several other clauses were agreed to. Clauses 69, 70, and 71 were agreed to with a few verbal amendments. The schedules were also agreed to. Several new clauses were added, and the Bill was ordered to be reported to-morrow at twelve o'clock. Captain PECI{ELL wished to know whether it was the intention of the Right Honourable Baronet at the head of the Home Department, to renew in the next session the County Courts Bill ? Sir J. GRAHAM would not pledge himself to the adoption of any course until he had sem the effect of the working of the present measure. On the question that the Lords' amendments to the County Coroners Bill be agreed to, some short discus sion took place, which terminated in the House disagree ing with the amendment of the Lords, giving the Coroner 9 d. a mile, instead of ls. On the motion of Mr. DARBY a Committee was ar pointed to draw up reasons for disagreeing with the Lords. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL re vented 202 pet i t i on s fro:; different parts of Ireland against the Charitable Dour tions and Bequests Bill. On the motion of Mr. HAVES, a return was ordered of the titles of all public Bills introduced in t he course of the present session ; the date of their several stages distinguishing those introduced from the House of L„ The same for theyears 1838, 1839, 1840, 18 41, an dl94'" The Committee on the Lords' amendments to tb,e! County Coroners Bill brought up the report of their reasons for disagreeing to certain of those amendmeas• The House then adjourned till Five, o'clock. MONEYAND COMMERCIAL NEW S.
