Bu Lord MOUNTCAiHELIS defence of Mr. O'DniscoLL Accounts from Alexandria of the 26th of June announce the arrival of Sir HENRY HARDINOR, on the afternoon of the 22d, in the Geyser steamer, from 'Markilles. He landed next day, Sunday, as a pri vate indiVidual, but re-embarked again for . a short time; and afterwards landed in state, in the PAcua's barge, when a salute of 19 guns was fired. He was received by a guard of honour. At three o'clock, after attending church, he paid a visit to MEHEMET Am, who met him at the door of the Audience Hall, and gave , him a warm reception. On the 24th he dined with the PAcui, and next day left for Suez, where he was to,embark in the Hindostan for India. From.all accounts the interviews between the PACRA And the Governor-General were of the most friendly lescription ; a circumstance highly honourable to this .able and high-minded chief. was the most comical, end logically considered, is entitled to the praise of consummate originality . He was of opinion that that gentleman was en• titled to be restored to ' the Bench, if only 'on the score - of his gentility, for, added this droll Peer, '" in a part of the country where gentlemen were scarce, it was a matter of great im portanee that a gentleman of Mr. O'DaiscoLL's character and property should be a magistrate." •We, infer, from this that to use " the most disgusting and unbecoming language",is-no impeachthent of an Irish man e s gentility, and that to-thrash a boy without thi slightest pruvocation, in nowise impugns his charac. ter, or lessens efficiency as a magistrate ! No public question, within our experience or re collection, has developed more varied ability and talent, out of doors, than that of the CurrencY," since the first announcement of Sir ROBERT PEEL'i. Bank Charter Bill. No public question, of so mo. mentous or extensive a character, has ever been treated with such unpardonable apathy or misconcep tion by the great majority of the representatives of the people in the House of Commons, as the pre sent state of our monetary system, and its future relations unler the same Bill. If, out of the 658 trustees of the interests of the people at large, who are returned to Parliament by the electoral con stituency of the United Kingdom (a body consisting of some hundreds of thousands of persons), only some forty or thirty are "still few and faithful found*" in the conflict between the advocates of the unfettered action of property and labour against the monopolizing and absorbing influence of realised capital represented in gold, or convertible into gold at a fixed standard Mint price, it is so much the snore important that there should be zealous, active, and able champions in the general field to vindicate the salutary rights of the former upon the destructive and exclusive pre tensions of the latter. Among the many clever attempts at concentrating close reasoning and sound argument on the somewhat ungrateful but all-important subject of the Currency, to which the pending discussions have given rise on • Sir -ROBERT'S last device for injuring industrial labour, in this country, facilitating the usurious employment of capital, and paralysing all the energies of com merce, we may commend to our readers, as well worthy of their perusal, a short paper called " The PITT Pound versus the PEEL Pound." In another part of our paper we have reprinted this "Appeal to Common Sense." If we did not find our own repeatedly-recorded convictions on the matter con firmed by this and other remarkable coincidences of opinion, we might desist from our humble efforts to press upon the public the adoption of the views we hold upon it, in common with all who concur in de nouncing both the original mischief of 1819, and its so-called " complement" of 1844. But the whole question is one of so vital, so immediate, so irresist ible a character, that, like AARON'S rod -serpent, it swallows up all the rest that interest,. at prpsent, the public curiosity. Its vast and pervading importance is felt even now, but it will be hereafter tangibly present in every concern and relation 1 , of commercial engagement, State business, or do mestic and social life, that -are . Mixed up with the In the French Chamber of Deputies on Monday, he amendments made by the Chamber of Peers on he Orleans and Bordeaux Railway Bill were dis cussed. The chief amendment was the rejection of the 7th article, introduced by M. CREMIEUX, which pro hibited Members:of the two Chambers from becoming contractors for works on railways and directors of companies. A discussion took place on this clause, and from the opposition made to it by the Govern ment and several influential Members, no doubt re mained that the . Deputies would affirm the amend ment, and reject the, absurd clause. The Committee on the election of M. CHARLES LAFITTII for Louviers met on Saturday' , Having withdrawn the letter written by him to the Minister of Public Works, no objection was raised to his taking his seat; but the reporter, M. DEMURE, was directed, in recommend ing the admissionlofM. CHARLES LAFITTE, to pro pose to the Chamber that it should be intimated to him that his withdrawing of the letter must necessarily interdict him from . taking any share, direct or indi rect, in the question of the branch of the Rouen Rail road to which it-related. The papers bring no additional intelligence from Africa ; hut all interest in the affair had died away, asit was generally believed that the Emperor of MOROCCO would accede to the terms offered by France. 9n the 2d instant the whole of the- Prince DE JoutyiLLE's squadron, consisting of the Suffren, Jemappes, and THUM, of the line, the Belle Poule frigate, and the Gassendi, Pluton, As inodee, and Phare steamers, were assembled in the roadstead of Mers el Kebir. The Phare was dis patched on the Ist to Tangiers with the ultimatum of the French Government. The following are additional extracts from the papers : " A letter from Dreux thus describes the celebration of the anniversary of the death of the Duke of Orleans :—At half-past eleven the King; leading the Queen by the hand, entered the body of the chapel through the crypt. His Ma jesty took his station in the centre of the choir, before the altar, having the Queen on his right, and next to her the Queen of the Belgians and the Duke de Montpensier. On his left was the Duchess of Orleans, between her Royal Highness Madame Adelaide and the Prince de Wurtemberg. rhe 'Clergy followed the Royal Family from the crypt. It was impossible to see without emotion the august widow of the Prince 'Loyal endeavouring to suppress the convulsive sobbings of her heart, prostrated and motionless on the earth by the weight of her grief, while the King and Queen were seeking resignation at the foot of the altar. One overwhelm ing feeling predominated in all who were present; the most lively sympathy with the august mourners was depicted in every countenance. After the absolution, the King and his Family returned to the Palace, passing again through.,the rypt, where tha Queen and the Duchess remained a long use kneeling before the tomb of the departed Prince. , : j " The money laid out, upon the chateau at Dretix amounts to a very considerable slim. .Between 1822 and 1830, the King vx , ,ended more than 100,000 f. in finishing the chapel !,egun hi- his mother, he Duchess Dowager of ,Orleans. And 'ince WO, the outlay has, been no less than 3,500,000 f. Be -0,, ~en Oh: arid, the end a 1845 the works to be done are es i.nated at 800,000 f. His Majesty has also endowed the (loyal chapel with a revenue of 25,0001." 'he Courrier Francais says:— We understand that !mine liately on the close of the session Marshal Soult will go to ~ass three months at his seat of Saint Amend ; the Minister of Commerce will take a tour through the manufacturing dis tricts; the Minister of Public Works will make a general inspection of the railroads; the Minister of the Marine' will visit Chcerbourg and Brest; the Minister of Justice will pass a month with his family at Douai, and the Ministers of Fi nances and Public Instruction will go to take the benefit of onte of the mineral waters.

THE HAGUE, JULY 14.—We print with all speed a supplement to our journal, the project of law for intro ducing a new tariff of duties on importation, exportation, and transit, accompanied with the explanatory memo rial which, as we have already stated, has been sent to the Members of - both Chambers of the States-General, and which will be laid before the States-General at the opening of the next session. (This tariff fills twenty-five columns of the Stoats Courant.) _ The lalest accounts, from India (to the end of March) state, among other news, that a combat had taken place rear the Thousand Islands, consequently very near Ba tavia, with two piratical vessels, one of which was taken, the other escaped. _ . The men-of- war of the more important expedition against the pirates sailed from the: roads of Soera- • baja on the 15th of February. . His Majesty's frigate Palembourg, Captain Koope, had made a demonstration, in January, on the west coast of Sumatra. Majtr Vander Hart, Resident at. Ayen Banjie, had been thereby enabled, at the head of a de tachment, to confirm the authority of the Government in the Balla Lands, without having recourse to arms.

" Who rsqia may read." POIRMIC&N. On Saturday morning; at eleven o'clock, the King of the French received at Drew= the different civil and military authorities,. and immediately . afterwards his Majesty and the Royal Family attended Divine serviee, which was performed by the Bishop of Morocco. Soon afterwards the King paid • second visit to the chapel and vault in which lie the remains of the Duke of Orleans. Their Majeities and the other mem bers of the Royal Family returned during the night of Satur day to Neuilly. • The infant Duke d'Alenpon, the newly-born scn of the Duke and Ditchese de Nemours, was baptised on Sunday, in the chapel of the Palace at Neuilly, by the Archbishop of Paris, and the usual entry of his birth has been made by the Grand Chancellor, Baron Pasquier, in the archives of the Chamber of Peers: The Christian names of the young Prince are Ferdinand-Phillippe-Marie. The official witnesses to the act of birth, designated by the King,, are the Duke de Broglie and LieuL-General Jacqueminot. By a Royal decision,of the 3d March last, Roar-Admiral Laplace has been appointed to succeed, in the command of the station of the :Antilles and the Gulf of Mexico, Rear, Admiral de Moges, who has terminated his. third Year of sm.- - vice in this command, and who had frequently expressed his. desire to return to France. The King's Government having recently recognised the inutility of augmenting the number of vessels destined for the station of the coast of .Hayti, this destination has been assigned to the Thetis frigate, now tint ing at Brest. • The Toulonnais, in its news from Algiers of the 4th inst., gives an account of the murder of the gardener and his wife, left by M. Lavoll4, the notary at Algiers, in Charge of his country-house it Boudjariah. The murder is supposed to have been committed by some Kabyles employed in the neighbourhood. The Bien Public of Macon quotes a letter from its corre spondent at Marseilles, stating that several cases of cholera of a very severe character had appeared in that city; but the Marseilles journals of the 11th are totally silent upon the sub ject, and, therefore, there is every reason to believe that the report is unfounded. The ilamburgh Correspondent contains a letter from Copen hagen, which states the Danish squadron had sailed on the 26th, it was supposed for Morocco. It consisted of two fri • gates, a corvette, and a war steamer. A brig is to join this force at Tangiers. According to a letter from the Hague, the Countess de Nassau, widow of the late ex-King of the Netherlands, is on the point of taking for a second husband General Van Omphal, who was'Aide-de-Camp of his late Majesty. Lord and Lady Dinorben have arrived at Namur, Belgium, on a visit to their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Capua. - LAW AND VOLUM. The Midland Circuit commenced at Northampton on the 15th, before Lord Denman and Mr. Justice Coltman. There are twelve causes in the list, three being marked as special juries. The calendar contains the names of twenty-eight prisoners for trial, but we believe there are two or three others who have been brought to the county gaol since the calendar, was printed. On the 16th, some cases were tried, but they were of little interest. , Oxford,- • Richard Elliott was indi c ted for stealing banker's parcel, containing 1,500 sovereigns, from the liefi.•: ance toke,h,jiri the 18th of March, and after the examination of seyeral• -Witnesses was acquitted: • . • At , the Middlesex Sessions, Samuel Saulter a shoemaker, aged 28, and MarySaulter, his wife, aged 29, were put upon their trial for assaulting Emma, their daughter; the tirst count in the indictMent charged them with unlawfully and malicicrnwtr if"asing to sap* her with -sufficient mainte nance; a second count with having, during certain times, unfawfully;confined herin a.room in a state of nudity ; an d 'in a third with-a Ammon assault. The jury found both pri soners guilty on , tlrefirst count, and as much of the 'second as regarded the aonfinentent, ' end acquitted • them on the third . count. The Chairman, in passing sentence said, the • Court concurred with the view the jury - had taken of the case, and in order to mark it with the severest disapprobation, the sen tence of the Court was that they be imprisoned for .six months in the House of Correction. . . At Worshipfstreet, Frederick Mills, a bargeman, surren dered on bail, and was finally examined before Mr. Bingham .upon a charge of having caused the. death of 'a boy named Thomas Strut, 15 years of a g e, by th row i ng hi m into the river I.ea.. • ,Sergeant,Rawkes,6 NOIONV informed the magis trate:that the Coroner's jury had returned a verdict of " Ac eidetitally. -drowned ;" but the Coroner and jut ' , Strongly re probated the conduct of the prixonettlialls, and expressed a hope that the Magistrate webld'sendl him' to the-4(isSioits, to be trkai fa. the aggravated itssault:tie . ,.bail committed on the deceased.

The Hall was crowded to excess, and among those present were Mr. Henry Grattan, M.P., Mr. E. B. Roche, M.P., and Sir Valentine Blake. The Irish Judges on the Circuits have, in almost every in stance, congratulated the Grand Juries on the peaceable state of the counties, as set forth on the face of the calendars. The Cork C o nstitution states, that a field of wheat, in the neighbourhood of Glanmire, will be cut in the course of the week,; and that a gentleman in the city has contracted to deliver 100 barrels of this year's oats on Saturday next. The King of Saxony, while at Liverpool, went to the theatre, which was crowded. He was enthusiastically re ceived. His .Ma j esty is the first Monarch who has honoured the Liverpool Theatre with a visit. The half•yearly meeting of the St. Katharine Dock Com pany WAS held on Tuesday, at the Dock-house, Tower-hill, for the purpose of announcing a dividend for the half-year ending the 30th ult., and the election of Directors. The di vidend for the half-year is 24 , per cent. In answer to some questions Mr. Tooke, the Cha irman, said it was most satis factory to state that the busines s o f the port of London, as well as that of the St. Katharine Docks, had improved in the Past half-year. In the six months ending the 30th June, the number of loaded ships that entered the St. Katharine Docks was 435, of the tonnage of 82,927 tons, showing an increase over the returns of the corresponding period of 1843 of 60 ships, and 6,930 tons. Mamas is to be transported for life. From a return moved for by Mr. Hindley, of all children who have been removed from union-houses into the artily and into the navy, &c., it appears that in England, the total number of children so removed from union workhouses into the army, amounts to 132, and the , total number of them re moved into the-navy, to 139 ;' making altogether 271. At. the 28th annual meeting of the Governors and sup porters of the Royal Dispensary for diseases of the ear, held on Tuesday, it was stated by the secretary that since the eetablithment of - the dispensary in 1816 upwards of 13,850 persons have been cured or relieved of deafness and other disetises'of - the tar ; that the attendance of patients is in creasing, and that during the past year several new remedies have been employed with success. WRlTEBAlT.—Whitebait, then, is only a little means for acquiring a great deal of pleasure. Somehow it is always allied with sunshine,—it is accompanied by jolly friends and good humour. You rush after that little fish, and leave the cares of London behind you—the row and struggle, the foggy darkness, the slippery pavement where every man jostles you, striding on his way, pre-occupied with care writ ten on his brow. Look out of the window—the sky is tinted with a thousand glorious 'hues—the ships pass :silently over the blue glittering waters—there is no object within sight that is not calm, and happy; and beautiful: Yes! turn your head a little, and there lies the Tower of London in the dim smoky sunset. There lies - Care; Labour, To-morrow.—New Monthly Magazine. A STORY WITUOVT END.:--The Peishwah had a beautiful daughter, as fair as Bhowanee, and as graceful in form as young acacia; but the Icing, her, father, loved her the more, perhaps, that she was.. his only daughte;; and, although she was surrounded by suitors, he declared that none should win her to his harem but he who could tell a story without end, and those who failed should expiate their presumption by the sword, and their heads should adorn the battlements of the fort. Many tales were told; and - though for many hours - the courtiers listened, sad the king froWned and quaffed his kusurnba drought, still, as did the smoke from the hookah of the prince, the tales of the suitors ceased, and maay heads crowned the royal tower ; until, at length, a young and handsome youth, blooming as Crishna, knelt before the king, and, from the outer edge of the carpet of respect, craved his attention. "May it please your Highness," said the stranger, "a great merchant had a field of grain,. and he built a storehouse to secure it, but the rats get in, some thieves also, and both stole and devoured the grain. The merchant built another, like the topes (burial places) of Secunder's (Alexander's) chiefs ; it was of stoup, • with 'walls to the skies, and only a little hole at the top to look in at ; and the merchant yielded -up his heart to joy, fir he thought himself secure. 'Hut a flight of locusts came, and flew in at the little hole, and they began to de vour his grain.; so the merchant °sent for the nakaras, tomtoms, and sittars, and placed the musicians round the walls, to frighten out the locusts ; (" Well," said the king)." and the musicians played loudly, and louder still, and, at length, a locust flew out. (" Well ?" inquired the king) and soon another (" Well, well, proceed ;") and, again, one , more ; and the youth continued his list of locusts, until the cup bearer fell asleep, and the kaliuns of the courtiers dropped from their hands . ; the king had slept, was awake again, yet still the tale of the handsome youth ceased not ; when, at length, the king, starting from his cushions, exclaimed, " Cease. cease ! take my daughter, and let its rest, for traly the story hath •no end."— Asiatic Journal. • THE SHOOTING SEASON.—As the result of eaten iive inquiries throughout the north, we may state that prospects for the moors have riot been better for the last seven years.

The most elaborate articl e i n this Number is one entitled ".Despotism and Democracy," in which occurs the following just remark :—" There are un doubtedly moments, such as the, • present, whcm the prevailing character is. indifference, we cannot call it contentment ;-•-• when if men do not all agree upon principles, they at least cease •to agitate them ; when they lay aside their arms and pause to take .breatb. But such cairn is , delusive.; exhaustion leads to leisure, and. leisure to redoubled energy. Nations, like men, are ever moving forward to an unknown future. The human mind and the elements of nature are never entirely at rest." The Reviewer then pro ceeds to remark that " we are hurrying on either towards a despotism or a.- democracy"—a very ' eomprehensive opinion which may safely be hazarded of the political progress, not only of. England, but of every country in Europe; The Gospel before • the Age" is a notice, much too panegyrical, of a work l a t e ly p un i s h e d b y th e Rev.

Fmk, full ofalliterations, such as "noise and nonsense," "glare and glitter," and by no means wanting in 'broken metaphors.

T" as the author of ." ." .Satan : lle is a strong .Versiller;• and h f am ili a r with the rhetorical common-place§ of the art, but of real imagination he possesses not one particle. In the " New Spirit of the Age," Mr. Horne is treated with more courtesy thin the critics. have yet shown him, 'and the excellencies as' . well as the defe c ts, of his work are pointed out with candour and discrimination. The ". Political Press of France" gives an account of the present state of that influential organ of public : opinion in Paris, which Louis Phillippe, though not without considerable difficulty, has contrived, if not altogether to silence, at least to reduce to something like subordination. We strongly suspect,. however, that in the end the French Press will be too strong for the dynasty of the monarch of the barriCachs. • • . . . H IVIE3IOIRS *OF 'CONFUCIUS.

STCRGE. (From the Liverpool Courie)..)—Prf . .s rate, as the' , Liberals previously were, and fatiailiari,:ed with defeat- and morti fication, the result of the Birmingham electie n nevertheless, come upon them with astoneding effect. If could not have been otherwise. • Never, in the whole course of their electioneering experience, have they re.; ceived a more terrible blow. A few years ago it would have been thought as unreasonable to talk of pushing St. Paul's from its base as talk of -- shaking the power of the Liberals in Birmingham. Like Manchester, the name of the place itself was regarded as little el'e than a synonym for rampant and incurable Ha:Lea:- ism. For thirteen years, that is, ever since the Re form Act came into op4ation, the same party and lire same family has reign 4 predominant in the borough. At the very last election, the gentleman whose tri umphant return we hive now to record was defeated by a majority of 138. His opponent on the prese n t occasion was the son of the individual against whom he thus unsuccessfully struggled, and consequently brought to the contest all the advantages arising from name and. connexion ; yet Mr. Spooner is returned to I'arliament by a majority of no less, than 360 votes ! Well may Liberals stand aghast ! And equally well may Conservatives rejoice, and look forward with high hope to future triumphs. The victory of South Lan cashire, great as.it was, is eclipsed. There, the Liberals and Leaguers were only kept out ; here they have been turned out. ' ------ THE LATE MURDER IN THE MINT.—APFREHEN. SION OF THE MunnEitEn.—lt will be remembered, that in the course of last February, a woman of the name of Elizabeth Hobbs, the wife of a stoker, occupying lodgings in the Mint, Southwark, had.a quarrel with hei landlord, a ran named James Carroll, who, in ejecting her from her apartment, threw her down stairs, and inflicted such other severe injuries as to cause almost her immediate death. The result of the Coroner's inquest was a verdict of wilful murder against James Carroll, who decamped. Nothing was heard of him till yesterday. He was apprehended in Tooley •street. Last evening he underwent a brief examination at the Union hall Police-court, before Mr. Cottenham, the magistrate, who, hearing - that a true bill had been already found by a grand jury at the Central Criminal Court against him, re manded the prisoner.

BRITISH SHIPPING.---We mentioned last week • that the opening of the guano trade had greatly relieved - .British shipping, and put an end, for ai time, to the,ruinoua competition for freights, which had for some time existed. but we had not at that time any iti;:a of the number of vessel° which have gone to he African coa'tt in search of this new manure. We have since learnt that it is not less than 60 0, at the lowest. estimate, and that some persons even estimate it as high as 800, a great number of them being very large - ships. It is, therefore, no wonder that the taking up so many . vessels at good freights, and the withdrawing them from the- • usual trade, has had a good effect on freights and on the der --4, mand for shippin g everywhere.ieerpoot Times.
