The ktolsejesolved itself into Committee on the ..BishopriceLziof St. Asaph and Bangor Bill. The oflyO.t.tsrciros had previously announced that. y';biltl oppose the motion, but little notice appeared to*vehden taken of this announcement, for the Bill - 'tveilt r thiciugh Committee, and was ordered to be read — a third time on Monday-, • •_ The Bishop of EXETER moved that the House re ' Siae itself into Cot . ainittee on the Brothels Suppres sion Bill. • . • .' • gar, Furzu.karmtGE took the opportunity of de • • Aviing the statements made by the Bishop of etvria relative to the suppression of these nuisances An the neighbourhood of IVestminiter Abbey, and on property belonging to the Dean and Chapter. The Bish9p of GLOUCECTER made the best of a had case, but at the • , aingr. time made a singular ad mission. On that very day he said the Dean and Chapter had given notice to many of the tenants to quit. We imagined, from the former speech of the Right Rev. Prelate that the system of purification had been carried to the utmost pitch. The honour of purifying the purlieus of Westminster Abbey, it thus appears, will he conferred on Earl FITZHARDINGE. The Bill went through Committee, and the House adjourned. In the Commons, after the presentation of petitions, Mr. T. DUNCOMUE again brought on a question which interests every Englishman—the atrocious system adopted by Sir JAMES GRAHAM of opening letters at the Post-office. We cannot abridge his speech. Every word of it should be read. Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S reply exhibited a Minister of State in the most deplorable light. Mr. DUNCOMBE moved for a Committee of Inquiry. The Home Secretary resisted the motion. His conscience, he said, was pure—he had discharged his duty, which was an im portant one, and he should resist the motion. Mr. MACAULAY supported the motion for a Com mittee of Inquiry, in a speech which made a great impression on the House. Indeed, there appeared to be but one feeling on the subject, though of course the Ministerial supporters were obliged to vote with Sir R. PEEL, who did the best he could to get his ultra-Tory friend—once an ultra-Radical—out of the scrape. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Mr. MILNES, Mr. SLIM, and several other leading Members spoke, and the dis cussion altogether was full of interest. A division took place, when, with all the power of the Govern ment, in a House containing 372 Members, they could muster a majority of only 44. If Englishmen sub mit to such a system they deserve to be slaves. The third reading of the Sugar Duties Bill was postponed till Thursday. After the transaction of some minor business, the order of the day was read for going into Committee on the Bank Charter Bill.", Mr.- Ilawrmamari, moved that the House go into Committee that day six months. The motion was ne gatived on a division by a majority of 187, and the Bill was committed. On clause two being proposed, Mr. NENVDEGATE moved that the blank be filled up with twenty-two instead of fourteen millions. Eventually the amend ment was withdrawn, and the House resumed. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Ten Minutes past One. Our readers, on referring to the Queen's Bench report, will see that the Baron Ds BODE has at last obtained - justice. He has been struggling with the English Government for twenty years. That Government had received from France money to pay all just claims to French emigrants, but had disposed of it in a way only known to GEORGE the FOURTH and the Earl of LIVERPOOL. The Baron DE BODE was one of the sufferers. He has had the courage, and the indomitable perseverance too, to prosecute his clalm to the last. He threw himself on the honesty and judgment arn English jury, and he has not been disappointed. After a trial of three days, the jury returned a verdict, yesterday, in favour of the Baron's claim, awarding him the full amount, 364,2661., with in terest. There are some other claimants still on the Government for money which has been swamped in a similar manner, and which, from this auspicious ver dict, we trust will yet be restored to the rightful owners. ' • In the report from Worship-street office will ho found another instance of the tyranny which the new police force would, if they could, establish in tb metropolis. An industrious man, selling ginger beer and other beverage requisite in this hot weather for the poorer classes, is taken into custody, his little property carried to the Green-yard, and his whole stock probably destroyed, because a policeman thought fit to interfere on a pretended order issued by a sergeant of police. An inspector attended to give some explanation, and stated that he knew nothing of the order in question. The Magistrate; of course, set the man at liberty, but what remedy is that for such an outrage upon the poorer classes ? If the public do not support the journals that take an interest in restraining the inroads of the police on the liberty of the people, they will speedily find that Colonel Row and Sir JAMES GRAHAM will treat Englishmen like Russian serfs. There is an evident tendency in that direction. We believe Sir J. GRAHAM to be the most dangerous Home Minister that ever filled the office, not even SIDMOUTH excepted ; and if the people of this country wish to preserve their liberties, they ought to get up meetings in every dis trict to pray the QUEEN to dismiss the renegade. He opens letters entrusted to the Post-office, he disperses harmless multitudes when they assemble to petition Parliament for a redress of grievances. He, was once the advocate for sponging out the national debt, the most radical leveller of the present time ; and he is now the most bitter persecutor of the men who follow out his original principles. We could bear with some degree of patience such conduct from an old consistent Tory ; but such de spotism on the part of a Radical-Reformer, an osten tatious friend of liberty—a professed friend of the people, and one of the leading men who carried the Reform Bill, is quite insufferable. It may be remembered that, in the House of Lords a few nights ago, Earl FITZHARDINGE having stated that in the Almonry there were twenty-four notori ous houses of ill-fame, all the property of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, the Bishop of GLou- CESTER denied the statement with much virtuous in dignation, observing :—" Two years ago the subject was brought before the Chapter, when they were in formed that no steps could be taken, because the pro perty was under lease, but as the leases ran out they refused to renew, and thus abated the nuisance. But they had determined to take a still stronger step, and out of their own funds to purchase the remainder of the leases. They had done so, and from thei r own resources they had purchased the remainder of the leases, and the houses of bad repute had been pulled down and destroyed." Here we have a positive and distinct statement made by a grave episcopal dignitary, apparently on his own personal knowledge of the facts. There is nothing evasive, or indirect, or hypothetical, in his reply to Earl FITZ.. /I A RDINGE'S charge ; it is a flat denial, put forth with the decided air of a man who feels conscious that what he says will admit of no contradiction. Now, in answer to the ghostly Bishop's indignant denial of the charge brought against the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, we direct our reader's particular atten tion to the following facts, which we quote from a letter in a Morning Contemporary, and which is signed " A Friend to Truth :"—" Not a single house in the Almonry has been taken down, except some which were unoccupied on account of their ruinous condition.—Nearly, if not quite every house in the Almonry is one of ill-fame at this moment, where scenes of the most dis gusting character are perpetrated at noon-day. The Dean and Chapter, and it is said, snore especially the Bishop of GLOUCESTER, did everything in their power to prevent this property being improved some years ago. Within the last month the Dean and Chapter have declared they would oppose any Bill for the improvement of this pestilential district." The writer of this letter adds that he engages to prove every one of the above facts, whenever, and wherever, called upon. A correspondent of the Patriot, and who is also . a parishioner of Westminster, writing on the same delicate subject, expressly says :—" There is not one word of truth in the Bishop of GLOUCESTER'S statement. Four of the bad houses are certainly closed, but the other twenty are fully and actively employed, as they have been to my certain knowledge for the last forty . Years. I have just returned from a personal inspec tion of these Almonry nuisances, it being eight o'clock on Saturday evening, the 15th of June, 1844, and I have counted twenty of them occupied in a way that public decency prevents my further describing." The Westminster parishioner then goes on 'to state, that during the forty ye ars i n wh i ch these houses ' have been in use the leases of most of them have been renewed over and over again , and that as the application for renewal is made every fourteen years, his Lordship and his colleagues, or their predecessors or representatives, could not have inspected any of the houses, in order to settle the renewal fines, without 'seeing 'th e im moral purposes to which the whole are devoted. - Now, if these two statements be true, and we see no reason to doubt their truth, seeing that the writers both speak from- their own personal knowledge of facts what becomes of the Bishop of GLOVCSSTaII virtuous denial of Earl FITZIIARDINGi 8 charge ? The matter cannot possibly be suffered to rest where it is, and we do hope that some public-spirited individual either in the Lords or Commons, will direct attention to the case, in order that this disgusting nuisance—per petrated under the very nose of the Apostolic Dean and Chapter of Westminster, and almost, as it would appear, with their connivance may be promptly put an end to. It is perfectly absurd for the Bishop of LONDON, in his zeal for the spread of religion and morality, to advocate the building of new churches throughout his diocese, when not less than twenty houses—anything but clerical in their character—are in full and active employment within half a mile from the Bishop's own mansion in St. James's-square, and almost within a stone's throw of that august spot where the episcopal bench dis charge their senatorial functions ! To advocate the erection of new churches in the metropolis, and yet at the same time to permit the continuance of not less than twenty houses of ill-fame in Westminster, what is this but the most sickening cant and hy pocrisy ! The Bishop of LONDON would be far more usefully and religiously employed in endeavouring to put down these intolerable nuisances, than in count ing the wherrys which may happen to be gliding over the broad bosom of the Thames on Sundays. Madrid journals of the 16th inst. have been re ceived, but they bring no news. The Three per Cents. were done at 27i i for cash, 271 for the 30th inst., and the Five per Cents. at 20 for the 21st inst. The discussion on the proposed railway lines through out France still occupy the Chamber of Deputies, but do not promise a very satisfactory result. There is evidently a great difference of opinion between the Government and the Members as to the share the State should take in these great undertakings. The Government plan is, that the State should be only at the expense of forming the line, leaving the laying of the rails, building carriages, &c., to companies ; while a considerable number of the Deputies are of opinion that the whole work should be completed by the State. On Saturday a division took place on this question in reference to the Paris and Lyons line. On the order of the day being read for a grant simply to construct the road, M. GAUTIER DE ROMILLT moved, u an amendment, that a sum, not exceeding 62,000,000 francs, be placed at the disposal of the Government, to enable it to construct the road, and also lay down the rails along the entire line. The amendment was carried by a majority of 1, the numbers for the amendment being 138, and against 137. After these discussions have been brought to a close, another subject of a more interesting character will be brought before the Chamber—namely, the present state of the finances. The report on the Budget, drawn up by M. BlosoN, has just been printed and distributed among the Deputies, and it is not certainly of a very cheer ing description. The expenses for the year are estimated at 1,276,106,791 f. (51,000,0001.) ; the de ficits from 1840 to 1844 amount to 178,562,000 f. (7,100,0000 ; and the floating debt to 300,000,000 f. (12,000,0001.) The reductions proposed do not ex ceed 3,790,766 f. The Committee proposed no reduc tion in the army with the exception of recommending the suppression of 2,000 artillery horses. The total effective stands thus :-344,000 infantry ; 84,416 ca valry ; and, with the proposed reduction, 11,000 artil lery. The steam navy consists of 47 vessels. The following additional details appear in the Journal des Debats : ~ The extraordinary budget, which is considerably in creased in the course of this session, is pointed out with clear ness and precision in the report of the Committee. The gefftral credits granted by the Bill of 1841, for the execution of the different public works, have risen to 496,821,400 f. The credif opened by the railroad bills, for the improvement of the ports, and the fortifications of Havre, are estimated at 534,180,000 f. The total therefore of the deficits, including the excess of the erdinar,y budget, amounts to 1,209,563,847 f., but by deducting credits, which are only eventual, and reckoning the annuity of the reserve of the sinking fund, and the last two-thirds of the loan, the floating debt for this year may be put down at 203,639,842 f. " The question of the reimbursement of the consolidated debt in live per Cent. Rentes, which amounts to a capital of 2,940,309,600 f., represented by 147,040,480 f. of rente, was the subject of serious examination by the Committee. The Minister of Finance was asked whether he conijdered con version as possible, and if he thought the proposition might be brought forward at the opening of the next session. The Minister, although admitting the necessity of giving a solu tion to the question, refused to fix any precise period at 1 which the Cabinet would take the initiative in this impracti cable measure. " This reserve of the Minister is sufficiently accounted for by the financial situation of the country. In fact, as the pre vious deficits and the sums voted for the ports and railways may oblige the Government to have recourse to a loan at no rery distant period, an idea of conversion might have a serious effect on credit. The proposition of the Minister of Finance tending to reduce from four to three per cent. the interest paid by the Government for the guarantee deposits lodged in the hands of the State by officers holding responsible situations, was warmly opposed by a part of the Committee, and supported as strongly by others. The division of their opinions was so nicely balanced that the Committee refrained from giving any opinion, but will lay the arguments pro and core. before the Chamber. " The principal reductions proposed by the Committee are principally economics on the estimates of the different Minis tries, and are chiefly connected with the war budget. The Commission accepts the proposed effective strength of the army at 344,000 men, and 84,416 horses, as it has been fixed by the Minister of War. It considers this force as sufficient to keep up the organisation of the army, and give complete security to the country. The report speaks in terms of com mendation of the initiative taken by Marshal Soult, in pro posing a reduction in his budget of 4,000 men, and 1,000 horses, and soliciting him to persevere in the course he has begun. . 4 The budget of the Minister of Foreign Affairs has been approved in its most essential points; a reduction of 50,000 francs only being proposed on the chapter for foreign missions. " The question of the steam navy also occupied much of the attention of the Committee. The number of steam-vessels on the Ist of January 1844, was—one of 540 horse power; three of 450 ditto ; one of 320 ditto ; seven of 220 ditto ; twenty-one of 160 ditto ; one of 150 ditto ; two of 120 ditto ; one of 100 ditto ; five of 80 ditto ; three of 60 ditto ; two of 30 ditto ; making together 47 of a strength of 8,210 horses, but this strength remains to be brought up to that of 15,550 horses, in conformity with the provisions of the different votes passed on the subject. " The report concludes with a recommendation to the different Ministers, of care and precision in the pre paration of their respective budgets, and requires that for the future there shall be annexed to each budget a list of the emplaye4 and the amount of salaries received.

The alterations which have been in progress at Frogmore-heuse, near 'Windsor, ever since the departure of the Duchess, have been commanded to be finished, and the mansion to be pre pared for the reception of her Royal Highness by Saturday next. Should the Duchess of Kent arrive in London before her Majesty has left Buckingham Palace for Windsor Castle, her Royal Highness will take up her residence at Clarence house, St. James's, and remain there until the Court leaves town for Windsor, when the Royal Duchess will take her de parture for Frogmore-house. We record with much regret the death of Mr. O'Hanlon, counsel to the Irish office. It appeared that the deceased swallowed a fish-bone on Sunday last, which, after some difficulty, passed into the stomach, but, unfortunately, it caused irritation in the lower intestines, which were at tha time predisposed to inflammation. On Tuesday evening, a violent inflammation came on ; and, in the middle of the night, mortification ; and, the next day, death. Mr. O'Hanlon was still in the full vigour of manhood, and his healthful and athletic appearance gave all earthly premise of a long life.— Observer. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Among the nobility who have visited the Haymarket Theatre within the last few nights to see the new comedy, Quid pro Quo, were the Duchess of Bedford, the Dukes of Bedford, Devonshire, and Leeds; Marquises Clanricarde and Douro; Earl and Coun tess Craven ; Viscount and Viscountess Leveson ; the Earls of Lincoln, Pembroke, and Belfast ; Lord and Lady Brooke ; Lady Holland, Lords Ranelagh, Macdonald, Albert Cunning ham, Falmouth, and Dillon ; Generals Lord Strafford and Espartero ; Hon.

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vubltc Optntott. " TYlto runs may read." FOREIGN. On Wednesday morning their Royal Highnesses Madam€ Adelaide and the Duke de Montpensier left Fontainebleau for the Chateau de Randan. At four o'clock, the King, attended by the Marquis de Chabannes, General d'Astorg, Colonel Dumas, the Prefect of the Seine-et-Marne, and the Sub- Prefect of Fontainebleau, reviewed in the principal Court of the Palace several detachments of the National Guards, the 71st of the line, and the 9th hussars. At five o'clock there was a grand dinner at the Palace, to which the civil awl mi litary:authorities of the town and department were invited, and at seven their Majesties left for .1\ euilly, where they ar rived during the night. M. Geoffrey Saint Hilaire, whose reputation stood so high in the scientific world, has just expired at the age of 72, after a long illness. The Constitutionnel says : " A letter from Bona, of the 4th, announces that the Tuni sians have attacked the French camp, at a league distance from La Calle, 'and killed four men, and wounded Capt. Bril lant, of the African Chasseurs." Accounts have been received from Algiers to the 10th, from which it would appear that General Lamoriciere considered that hostilities with Morocco were not yet at an end. The Constitutionel announces that the Pantheon will be re stored to Catholic worship on the occasion of the anniver sary of the revolution of 1830 ; that a solemn service will be celebrated in it on the 29th of July next, for the repose of the souls of the combatants who tell in the Three Days; and that the edifice will be afterwards open for religious worship on Sundays. The Orleans and Bourdeaux Railroad Bill was presented on Friday in the Chamber of Peers. The Minister of Finance, in presenting it, declared that the amendment introduced by M. de Preignes, forbidding the members of either Chamber to take part in any Bill as contractors and administrators, was quite unnecessary, and contrary to the wishes of the Government. According to the report of M. Daguenet on the Bill rela tive to foreign refugees, there were, in France, on the Ist of January, 1844, 4,800 receiving succour from the Government, and 9,464 who required no assistance, in all 14,265 persons, consisting mostly of Spaniards, Poles, Italians, and Germans. The supplies demanded for that purpose amounted to 2,150,000 f., or 300,000 f. less than last year. The refugees have cost France upwards of 40,000,000 f. since 1831. According to official returns the population of Bavaria amounted in 1837 to 4,315,469 souls ; in 1840 to 4,370,977 ; and in 1843 to 4,440,327, of whom 69,476 belong to the army. A letter from Rome states that the Tiber had suddenly risen on the 4th inst., six metres seventy centimetres, in consequence of heavy rains which fell on the previous day. Three men employed in collecting timber brought down by the current were drowned at Ostia. A late trial at Bologna exhibited an example of the man ner of treating certain culprits in some parts of Italy, which is not generally known. In the Roman States, it is the cus tom to assign their own residence as prison to thieves, vaga bonds, and rogue, who have not been sentenced to heavy condemnations. They are not permitted to go out after sunset, and, when the police agents go their rounds, if they find that one is absent, he is condemned by the mere act of breaking his ban, to the galleys, or to solitary confinement in prison. This system is found to be cheaper than any other. The fire at Cluses (Savoy), on the 13th inst., was even more extensive than at first stated. It burnt down the whole town, with the'exception of six houses and the church. The memoirs left by M. Jacques Laffitte have given rise to a judicial application, which must end in a formal suit. The Prince de la Moskowa demanded that these memoirs should be delivered up to him, but as Madame Laffitte and the exe cutors refused to comply with his requisition, the Prince appealed to the Civil Tribunal. M. Debelleyme, the Presi dent, decided that as the right of possession was disputed, the memoirs should bo put under seal, and thus kept until the question is settled. COURT-PASZIONABLZ. The Duchess of Kent is expected to arrive in England from Germany in the course of this week. The Duke and Duchess of Cleveland received a distin guished party at dinner on Friday last, at their residence in St. James's•square. The Duchess had a party afterwards. The Earl and Countess of Jersey entertained the Marchio ness of Douro, Viscount and Viscountess Canning, Lord Brooke, Lord Gifford, Lord Charles Wellesley, Lord Edwin Hill, Sir Horace Seymour and Lady Clinton, Mr. and Lady Elizabeth Drummond and Miss Drummond, Hon. Heary Pierrepont and Miss Pierrepont, and a select party, at dinner on Friday last, at their house in Berkeley-square. The Duke of Wellington was prevented from joining the party by his at-- tendance in the House of Lords. Sir Edward and Lad}• Kerrison had a dinner party on Saturday, at their residence in Great Stanhope-street. The company included the Duke and Duchess of Cleveland and Lady Augusta Poulett, the Marquis and Marchioness of Blandford, Lady Louisa Churchill, the Earl and Countess of Malmesbury, the Marquis of Salisbury, M. St. Aulaire, the Earl of Ilchester, and Ladv Caroline Strangways, Viscount and Viscountess Holmesdale, Lord Seaham, Lord Stavordale, Lord Curzon, Mr. W. Peel, Mr. Tomline, Lord and Lady Mahon. The Archbishop of York gave his annual entertainment, on Thursday last, to the episcopal bench, at his mansion in Grosvenor-square. There were present the Archbishop of Canterbury, Archbishop of Armagh ; the Bishops of London, Durham, Norwich, Worcester, Rochester, Lichfield, Glouces ter, Exeter, and Bangor ; Archdeacon Hale, Archdeacon Wilberforce, Mr. G. Vernon, Mr. Glenny, &c. Mrs. Lawrence had a cle`jiuner on Saturday last, at Ealing Park, when a large party assembled. Among the visitors were the Turkish Ambassador, Earl of Aberdeen, Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn, Sir Robert and Lady Peel, Lady Rolle, Lord and Lady Woraley, Countess of Jersey and Lady Clementine Villiers, Lord Forester, Marchioness of- London derry and Ladies Vane, Viscount and Viscountess Beresford, Lord and Lady Carrington, Count Rosen, &c. The members of the Roxburghe Club gave their anniver sary banquet on Saturday evening at the Clarendon Hotel, when there were present the Earl of Powis, Earl Brownlow, Sir Stephen Glynne, Bart., M.P., Mr. Botfield, M.P., Lord Clive, M.P., Dr. Bliss, the Earl of Cawdor, Mr. Hope, Mr. Baron Parke, &c. The Duke of Sutherland was among the members who were prevented by other engagements from dining with the club. XS C ZIMANEOI7B. On Saturday a very fully attended meeting of the Mary lebone Vestry took place at the Court-house, for the purpose of considering the steps necessary to be taken for the purpose of resisting the attempt of the Government and the Middle. sex Magistrates, to pull down the county prisons and re erect them with cells for solitary confinement of prisoners upon the same principle as those constructed at the new Model Prison, Pentonville ; Mr. J. Gomm, occupied the chair, and several noblemen and county magistrates, who are mem bers of the vestry, were present. Resolutions in accordance ' with the object of the meeting were unanimously adopted, and as there were delegates now sitting from all the metro politan parishes on the amended Poor-law Bill, the matter was referred to them , with a request that they would oppose oiner%Oefry shape. the Bohe m i an Gi r l (B a lf e ) i s engage d i n thie lecorn attemptp se the composition of a new opera for Drury-lane Theatre, to hi brought out shortly after the re-opening of the house in the middle of September. On Saturday the catalogue of the first part of the sale of the late Duke of Sussex's library was issued by Messrs Evans and Sons, of Pall-mall, the auctioneers appointed by his late Royal Highness's executors to sell his valuable and extensive collection of books. The catalogue is of vast size, consisting of 259 pages, octavo, and giving a description of 5,551 lots, all on theological subjects. This portion of the sale will last twenty-four days, commencing on Monday next, the first ten being devoted to the sale of the extensive assortment of Bibles, in different languages, in octavo, quarto, and folio. The Hon. Henry Cole has been returned for the family borough of Enniskillen, in the room of the Hon. Arthur Cole, deceased. TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION BETWEEN WIND son CASTLE, BCCILINGHASL PALACE, &c.—Arrangements will be made, in anticipation of the accouchement of our be loved Sovereign, which will take place at Windsor Castle, for intelligence to be conveyed to London, by means of the galvanic telegraph on the line of the Great Western Railway, between Slough and Paddington, which will enable informa tion to be expressed and telegraphed from the royal residence at Windsor to Buckingham Palace, and the town residences of the Ministers and the public offices at Westminster, in the short space of less than twenty-five minutes ! This rapid mode of communication will be thus easily accomplished—a horse and groom, kept constantly in readiness to start at a moment's notice, will reach the telegraph office, at the Slough station, within 11 minutes from the time of starting from Windsor Castle ; and thence information will be tele graphed to Paddington in a few seconds. From Paddington, grooms, with horses kept constantly saddled, will proceed with written slips of the telegraphic announcement to Buck ingham Palace and the residences of the Ministers and other official personages. The distance from the Paddington terminus to Buckingham Palace will thus be accomplished in twelve or thirteen minutes. In the event of a telegraphic communication being opened between the Round Tower of Windsor Castle (which is clearly perceptible at the galvani• telegraph-office) and the Slough station, the time (eleven minutes) occupied by a messenger proceeding on horseback from the Castle to Slough would be saved, and information, under these circumstances, would reach Buckingham Palace or Whitehall within a quarter of an hour of its being de spatched from Windsor. Special trains will be constantly kept in readiness at the Paddington terminus, to start at a moment's notice for Slough. Thus, it is quite possible for the great officers of state to arrive at Windsor Castle, from Westminster, within considerably less than - two hours (in deed, within about an hour and a half) from the pkiiod of a summons being dispatched from the residence of tite Sove reign at Windsor. ' ht PRINCESS'S TIIBATRE.—On Saturday rug D *al zettes opera buffs L'Elisir d'Amore was presented at this theatre, with Miss Austin in the role of Adina for the first time, and with Mr. Allen, also a first appearance, as Ne morino. Miss Austin made a favourable debut some seasons ago at Covent-garden as Mundane ; she soon after appeared as Polly in the Beggar's Opera, but her style of singing wa s not suited to such a character, consequently it did not draw, to use a technical phrase. From that period to the present Miss Austin has been successfully studying on the Continent. As an artiste the young lady has certainly improved ; her voice, if not of remarkable compass, is good and well trained. She acquitted herself so well in Adina, as to induce the audience to call for her a second time. Mr. Allen's pleasing tenor was heard to much advantage in the character of Nemorino ; he likewise had to pay tribute to popularity, and re-appear after the opera. The other parts were well sustained, Burdini playing Belcore, the sergeant ; and Paul Bedford Dulcamara, the quack doctor, which is admirably suited to Paul's magnificent voice and great comic powers. His " Auditi ! Auditi o Rustici" is a rich bit of comedy. After the opera a new ballet, called the Slave Mart, was per formed. The title sufficiently indicates the plot of this pleasing divertissement, which affords fine scope for the elegant dancing of Mr. Gilbert, Miss Ballin, Mr. and Miss Marshall, &c. The laughable little piece Antony and Cleo patra, and the last new farce, Wilful Murder, both of which followed, were capitally performed by Mr. Wright and Miss E. Stanley, of Adelphi celebrity ; Mr. Granby, a clever care ful actor ; Miss E. llonner, and Miss Brooks. The house was well attended. STATE OF TEADE.—Considering the present period as between the two seasons' demand, and that at which the London and Manchester houses take stock, prior to giving out their orders for the autumn trade, a fair demand con tinues for goods, and stocks in the manufacturers' hands never were lighter for years past. The advance to the work men of twopence per dozen on worsted straight down hose was given last week; also one penny for cotton sorts. But little is doing in wools, our fair being looked up tc as a stan dard for prices. A better demand exists for noils and cloth mg sorts ; and the late public sales in London have estab lished confidence in prices, and removed the opinion that the reduction of the wool duties would act prejudicially to the farmers' interest. A f a i r trade is d o ing in yams, and the prices are au), without alteration.—Leatatar Journal. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, MONDAY EVENING. Stocks closed quietly this atternoon, Consols being and all the other securities precisely the same as in the morning. There was no increase of business in the Foreign Securities. Spanish were 23A- for the Actives, and 33 for the Three per Cents ; hist Mexican improved to 34i Austrian were 115 ; Portuguese 82k ; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 62k.

There was a fair demand on Saturday for Cotton at Liver pool from the trade at steady prices. sales 4,500 bales. Spe culators and exporters were inactive. Shares were quiet— ' Liverpool and Manchester, 223; Birmingham, 218; Ditto Quarters, 24i ; Midland Counties, 94 ; Paris and Lyons, 31. 9s. ; Ditto and Rouen, U. At the present moment a considerable degree of interest is taken in the City at the state and condition of the principal grain markets thrbughout the United Kingdom, as indica tive of the exportations of the yield in the several localities. Now, while the great metropolis, and its vicinity, has suf fered from an absence of good rains for many weeks past, (those that have occurred scarcely moistening the surface) almost every district beyond 25 miles from London, has been blessed with genial showers. The Hull Corn Trade Report states that in the wheat district there, and in other places northward, rains had prevailed, during all the week, and that the sales of corn had fallen off. This was the case at Wakefield. The anticipation entertained in many quarters that a speculative demand will pre vail for foreign wheat has not yet been realised to any extent. Still there can be no doubt that very considerable importations will take place, from the Baltic and other Continental ports very shortly, in the hope that prices will rise for it, and profits be realised. Independently of the information contained in the letters to our Morning Contemporaries from Southampton, relative to West Indian affairs, the private mercantile advices are deficient of interest. It is not immaterial, however, to note that vegetation, in most of the plantations was in a progressive and satisfactory condition. Com plaints were still, however, made that the labouring population were disposed to inactivity. The rumoured in tention of her Majesty's Government to alter the sugar duties in favour of foreign free grown produce, had excited some sensation ; and a meeting to petition Parliament against the agitation of such topics frequently, by which operations in the Colonies were unhinged, was in contemplation. It was not anticipated that the private and country bankers would, through the efforts of their delegates, obtain any modifications of the plan of the Government 'for the future registration of the currency and banking in England. At the recent interviews there were several points pressed upon Sir R.Peel, which, it is asserted in well informed circles, were met with favour by him, and probably this evening the ultimatum of the Minister will be stated to Parliament. The deputation deserve to be successful, as they have worked hard and continuously for the benefit of the general body whom they have represented. It will be observed that Bank of England Stock is heavy, in consequence of an impression that the Government will yield in some way to the wishes of the private and joint-stock banks. The commercial letters from New York, and other parts of America, do not contain any news of much interest as to trade. No question an attempt will be made to influence the Cotton Market in consequence of the exaggerated accounts of the damage done to the plants by the overflowing of the Mississippi. A rather dull market has prevailed this morning for Con sols, which, for the Account, have just been sold at 98g. We have not heard of any large sales of Stock. . Reduced Three per Cents. have receded from 99i to Ai ; and the Three-and-a. Half per Cents. Reduced at 102 k. Exchequer Bills have fallen to 735. premium. The demand for money has advanced. Bank Stock is at 1981, and India Bonds were at 94 96 premium. s. , An opinion was entertained on Saturday, that the divi dends upon the Three per Cent. Spanish Bonds would be advertised to-day ; and as there was no confirmation of the statement to this effect, the market has been flat to-day— the Actives at 238, and the Threes at 35. Still our informa tion is that the interest upon the latter, due the Ist proximo, will be forthcoming. A further advance has taken place in the Dutch Securities, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. having just been quoted at 62k, and the Five per Cents. to 1001. In the other Continental and South American Bonds, the transactions have been but few to-day. Not much business has been reported in the Railway Share Market this morning. The quotations are very nearly the same as on Saturday. London and Birmingham have been I done at 119 premium ; North Midland at 6 discount ; and York and North Midland at 72 premium. London and West minster Bank Shares are at Gi premium, and London Joint Stock Bank at 4* premium. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JUNE 22.—The share market is firm, but quiet.

' Mr. 111 , 1Dhffie'i tariff resolution, pronouncing the present rate of duties unjust and oppressive, was taken up and reject.: ed—ayes 18, noes 25. In the House of Representatives, Mr. Adams broached the great principle of the Native American party, i. e., 'the al teration of the Naturalization Laws so as to require foreign.) ers to reside here twenty-one years, instead of five, before they exercise the 'rights and powers of native-born citi zeni ; and he presented a petition from citizens of .Pennsyl 7 vania, praying Congress to make this change in. the natu ralization laws. In presenting this petition, he supposed an opinion would be expected froth him on the subject, and he therefore stated . that the petitioners being unknown to him, he did not feel bound to support the prayer of the peti tion. He moved that the petition be referred to the Judi ciary Committee. Mr. Muiphy called for the ayes and noes. on a motion by Mr. Hammett to lay it on. the table. The question was ordered, and resulted in 104 votes in . favour of • laying it on the table, and only 26 against so doing. A murder and suicide of the murderer, of a. very horrible description, had been committed at Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Ledger says, under date of Saturday, June 1 that a Frenchman named Jules Lesueur, early that morning, shot his wife in the right side, beiween the fi ft h and sixth ribs, and committed suicide by, shooting himself in the left side. The Coroner convened a jury about eight o'clock, when the wife was still alive. Augustus Esmoil, keeper of the French boarding-house, Dock-street, below Third, in which the deceased resided, knew of no quarrel between de ceased and his wife, but papers and documents were found which madelt evident that murder and suicide were preme ditated by deceased. In a letter to Mr. Esmoil, found on a table, Lesueur begs "pardon of God for his crime " he was about to commit, gives directions for the funeral, that both shall be interred in one grave, in plain coffins, the expenses to be defrayed out of 170 dollars left for the purpose. It ap pears that suspicions of infidelity on the part of the woman in refusing to live with deceased, produced this deplorable_ result. She was alive at noon, Saturday, but her recovery was impossible. She was suffering great pain. She says, he awoke her on Friday night, asked her to kiis him and on refusing, he shot her. She is a Creole, of Louisiana, where she has a sister. Mr. Barbace, of whom deceased was jealous, is her agent, and at' her desire assisted her to escape from the power of her husband. COMMERCIAL. The New York' Sun says:— • " The intelligence by the Caledonia is any thing but favour able to those who have dipped into the cotton speculations on this side the water. The decline of about id. per pound on our great staple cannot but result in great pecuniary logs to present holders, and those who have advanced freely on consignments, to some of whom, in the southern cities, it will probably be disastrous.

HAMBURGH MAIL. BERLIN, JUNE 17.—We know nothing more than what we find in the newspapers of the object of the Emperor of Russia's visit to London.

VICTORIA THEATRE. • An excellent melodrathe; teaching a most important moral lesson, was produced at this theatre last evening,• with most'triuMphant Success. It.is entitled the Tempe rance Pledge, and we doubt not but that the members of the Temperance Societies alone will fill the •theatre every evening for the next month. The drama repre sents. the career of - two - individuals, one, _Richard Farrell (Mr. Hield), at the commencement of the piece, a miserable,. squalid drunkard .; and the other,. .George O'Meara (Mr. , ,Tanies Vining), a young .;man of fortune; • who is fond of his 'bottle. Farrell has reduced his family >to starvation ; his son Henry (Miss 'Arden), a young boy, in order to . procure food for his mother and her family, commits a petty theft, and is apprehended , ; his father; horror-struck - at 'the'crime to which lie has driven his child by his drunk enness, take: the temperance Pledge, keeps it; and by his iiidustry acquires an independence, restores histboy to' society, and redeems himself and his , family from the misery and degradation into .Which lie - had plunged them. . O'Meara, Qll the . contrary, becomes a confirmed :sot—neglects his . wife, who . elopes with. one of his boon companions" and after en during every variety of wretchedness, ends his-miser able career: by murdering his wife . and her paramour, and then poisoning himself, There . is a comic under plot; supported •by , Gardner as a publican I,' Paul, as a drunken _tailor ; and Seaman,-as an Irish servant, which, by:its fun and humour, . affords a seasonable relief to the more tragic portiOns . of the drama. James Vining's deli neation of the character. of O'Meara was, very fine, and the • other • actors : exerted' thernselves to' the utmost. The-scenery-is exCellentrand.thaAnannex_in.whivh the drama: has been put Upon the stage reflects the highest credit on the management,. At the fall of the curtain,Miss _Vincent spoke an,appropriate. and well-written epilogue, which,-we -believe ,_ is frora_ the pen of the_manager. The lively operetta of Our. Lady of the Willow followed; 'after 'which Hainet Bey; a Creole posture-master, exhi bited some of the most astonishing specimens of flexi bility of:limb we have ever seen. , It is no exaggeration to say that:he can " tie hiniSelf up in a knot" The houie was very well attended, . • • . . THE LORD LIEUTENANCY OF IRELAND.--It is eon. sidered probable that the Duke of Buccleuch will be the suc cessor of the Earl de Grey. The high personal character of his Grace, his amiable qualities, and the munificence with which- he devotes so.large a portion of his princely fortune to the noblest purposes, have long made the Duke one of the most popular members of the British aristocracy.- - -Post. -,The-destruction of the antique harrOws in Green wich-park has been for the present suspended. About twenty.of these national memorials of the valour of the ancient Britons in the time of Alfred the Great were swept away a few days since in digging fin. the proposed reservoir. Since then, however, the work has been sus pended by authority, and it is now believed by those who . appear to be the best informed upon the subject, that in ' deference to the strongly expressed wishes of the inha bitants, a site for the reservoir will be adopted beyond the limits of the beautiful park. ATROCIOUS MLYRDER.I--It 15 our painful duty to record one of the most brutal murders that has taken place for some time. ,We learn that on the evening of Sunday, the 16th instant, an armed party entered. the house of Patrick Hughes, Of Newtown, in the county. of Roscommon, and deliberately murdered him, by stabbing him in several parts of the body, and breaking his skull.. The poor man had - only retired to rest a few minutes previously, and was aroused by the soreams of his wife, who was seriously , abused, and had got up to save her 'fiani the party. No reason is given for this dreadful murder ; Hughes was a pensioner, well-conducted, and in coMfortable circumstances. Hughes lived within a mile of Strokestown, on the side of the mail-coach road. Through the exertions of Captain Blakehy, who imme;. diately attended, two of the party have . been arrested and indentified,Dublin Evening Mail.
