This Company has been formed for the purpose of applying a principle of science, discovered by a French Nobleman (and for which a patent has been obtained) to various purposes of construction, and more particularly in the present instance to Wood Pavement for the carriage-ways of the Metropolis. It is generally admitted that the greatest possible inconveni ences arc experienced from the only two methods of paving (the stone and the Macadamised) which have been hitherto used in the streets of London, the stone pavement possessing the disad vantages of great noise and interruption to business, while the Macadamised pave-nent, with its other evils, requires constant repair, at a very considerable expense. The immediate object, therefore, of this Company, is the ap plication of the above-mentioned scientific principle to the pur poses of paving with wood, it having been established to the satisfaction of scientific men that a pavement laid down upon this principle will be most economical and enduring ; and as it cannot suffer from abrasion, must be alike free from dust and mud. Arrangements have been made by this Company with the Commissioners of her Majesty's Woods and Forests to execute a carriage pavement upon an extensive scale at Whitehall, and contracts have also been entered into with private individuals. Applications for shares to be made by letter (post-paid), to Henry Harrison, Esq. , 23, Bruton-street, Berkeley-square, where Prospectuses may be obtained ; and also at the office of Messrs.

As might have been expected, the events at Bir mingham have caused considerable excitement amongst the working clas ses 'i n the North. of Enff land. We should think nothing of it if we could for one moment suppose that Chartism_e should was a tempo ta7ltdhe think tempo rary state of the people's mind, w nothing of it, too, if we could supp ose peo ple had justice done them, that no part of the evils they suffer are caused by the laws and institutions of society, if we could suppose that their condition one of inevitable necessity ; but we cannot suppose s any of these things, and we look with no little alarm at the discontent which is engendered in the working classes, and which is fostered by no incon siderable;number of clever and animated speakers. Besides the meetings at Newcastle and Kendal which we mention in another place, and the one which is to be held at Alanchester we observe that two meetings have been held at Carlisle, one before and the other since the knowledge of the events at Birming ham had reached that place. The latter was held this day week, and is described in the Carlisle Journal as havin g been very numerously attended. The langua ge used at it was very exciting. At the former Mr. LOWREY attended, an active missionary of Chartism. who is travelling through the North, speaking to considerable bodies of men, with great eloquence, we are s ure, for we have heard him speak in d L u n - o n ; , and we think it is due to the Government —which is rather blind to the danger which threatens society from this source— due to the middle classes, that they may be prepared for the alternative which surely awaits them, of giv ing to the working class a great extension of po litical power, and uniting with them to procure just laws—for example, free trade in corn and timber, and free trade in money, or of uniting with the idle aristocracy and the arrogant priesthood in coercing the working classes into unwilling obedience, and establishing a complete system of servile slavery— it is due, we think, to the whole community to place before them the language which Mr. LOWREY ad dressed to the people, who have since been fur ther excited by the events at Birmingham. We wish it, however, to be especially noticed that Mr. LowREY is only one of several persons who speak in the same or a similar strain, and that they every where find numerous and assenting auditors. We must also especially notice that the report, which is taken from the Carlisle Journal, is described as an outline of what Mr. LowREY said. With these remarks, we beg that our readers will weigh and con sider the following language, addressed, as it was, to a large body of men excited against the Government and against the middle classes, by many real and some fancied wrongs : Mr. Lowrey addressed the meeting at consider able length. He said—The hour of action was come. He had come there to preach revolution, and would do it as long as his tongue could give utterance to the senti. ments of his heart. He believed that God never intended them to be miserable slaves; but that God " gave the earth to be man's inheritance," to produce food and hap piness for all his creatures; and he (Mr. Lowrey) pro claimed that doctrine. He alluded to the low price of labour. What was the use of industry if a man could not maintain himself and family in comfort? He was as great a friend to peace as any man. He would honour the throne as long as the throne would honour him, but no longer. If the Queen was the mother of her people, as she ought to be, no mother would revel in luxury, while her children were sbarving.—(Cheers.) Their enemies said that if they were in possession of their rights, they would run into discord and confusion. Was the human heart so constructed that it would turn round and sting the hand that did justice to it? The Whigs bad now held the reins of Government seven years, and yet the national debt had increased, and the taxes also ! Were these the bene fits they had to wait for? However squeamish they pre. tended to be about bloodshed, they would rather see the people all dead in a ditch, that in the possession of the suffrage. To be sure they h a d a p ro fli ga t e G overnment , but they had a still more profligate monetary system : one third of their labour went to uphold a set of rascally bankers, who made a thousand pounds out of an old linen shirt.—(Laughter.) The banks were talking of issuing notes for two and three pounds : such notes could only be designated pawn-tickets. He then spoke of the poverty of the working classes :—Let them show him the narrow lanes and miserable hovels, scarcely fit for dogs to live in, and he would show the dwellings of working men—let them show him the grand mansion with its carriage road, and pleasure grounds, and he would show them the dwellings of those opulent men who toil not, neither do they spin." Unless working men were allowed to have a voice in tho Constitution this must be their doctrine—" no vote—no musket ; no protection-- no allegiance ;no comfort—no work !" He had a motto which the men of Scotland had adopted—" No freedom— no comfort in the cottage—none in the hall." Right or might, take it which way they would, was the only way to settle it. He knew that the most grievous thing that could happen would be a struggle of physical force. The Go vernment and the rich liked it, and the middle classes made use of it to consolidate and strengthen their power. Let the people wait patiently—there was a limit to human endurance. He appealed to the sacred Scriptures to show that men were justified in righting themselves by physical force. Their enemies pretended to abhor bloodshed— why, it was carried on every day without any effort being made to stop it l—( Hear, hear.) He alluded to the medical returns of Lancashire; they showed the children there murdered ; that double the number, on an average, died there, to those in the agricultural districts. He at tributed this to bad food, bad clothing, bad bedding, and unhealthy empleyment. There was a worse murder than that—the murder of oppression. He put a few questions to the religious professors. "If the people were ignorant, what had the Church done to remedy it? They received nine millions a year to educate the people, and yet in the 19th century the priesthood turned round and said they had left the people ignorant. "If they admit that they had left the people ignorant to guide themselves in .every day acts—such as politics—how durst they then preach the doctrine that God held every man responsible for every action done in the body ? If so, God would have given them sense to guide them—if net, he was an unjust God." But be believed he had given them that power—that man could distinguish right from wrong. If the priests were not infidels they would not bold their churches ; but they stood and preached God's doctrine, and then Burked it. The fact was they were paid by Government to teach you to " fear God and honour the King"—whether that king be a blackguard or an honest man. We must now repeat what we have before said, that all these circumstances and this language be token a deep-seated disease in society, which ordi nary medicaments will not cure. It may be, we will readily admit, repressed and driven inward by the vulgar expedients usually employed by States men, but by them it cannot be healed. We announce with regret that Mr. GIBSON has been defeated at Ipswich, though by a very small majority. The greatest exertions were used to bring up freemen and others to support the Tory. Gold flowed freely, bribes were large, drunkenness, encouraged we are told, though we can scarcely believe it, by some clergyman, prevailed, and the result was that 1,232 persons voted, and on that gross number Sir THOMAS COCHRANE obtained a majority of 8. Such evidence has been obtained of improper proceedings that the election must be declared void on trial, and we know that it will be immediately petitioned against. The religious world, particularly the Methodists, we believe, did its worst, as Mr. GIBSON said, against him, and it has been temporarily successful. The Tories will gain one vote on some questions, by the election, for a short time, for no doubt Sir TIIONIAS COCHRANE will move obedient to the commands of Mr. BONHANI, or Mr. HoLmEs, which Mr. GIBSON spurned. Only for a short time, however, will Sir THOMAS COCHRANE occupy his seat, and on the decision of a Committee, though it will necessarily be post poned till next Session, Ipswich will be represented by a Reformer. We shall not deny that we regret this present decision of the Ipswich electors, for we know few me_t better calculated to do good service to the public cause in Parliament than Mr. GIBSON. His speech on the hustings on Friday, for which we find room to-day, has enhanced the high opinion we had previously formed of his talents and indepen dence. We recommend its perusal. His observations on Members of Parliament, acting on party morality, or on the higher morality of conscience—voting black is white because it suited BILLY HOLMES or Mu. Box 'IA m to suppose " that the religious question was a good opportunity to obtain a party triumph," or voting because a man believes, from all the information he can collect, that it is fo: the good of his country—are extremely forcible, and will render good service to public morality. Equally striking are his remarks on the perversion of religion to obtain political power, and the expo sure he supplies of the contrast between the Fel lows of King's College, under the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, memoralizing Government to esta blish a system which the Bishop of LONDON, when a political purpose is to be obtained, regards as an abo mination of desolation. Such men as Mr. GIBSON', to stir the feculent pool of Parliamentary usage by his novel example and his strong language, are much wanted i n t h e H ouse of Commons,' and we must say, using the phrase " better man" in relation only to the short period of his public services, that we could have better spared a better man. To step over the conventionalities of the House, and speak out in appropriate terms of that mockev of every thing which ought to be holy, which is now the daily use and wont of the High Church party_ to describe in fitting language the Catechism " nonsense," which is dignified by the priesthood with the name of education, a man is much wanted in Parliament, and the country will miss the services of Mr. GIBSON. 1 We set a high value on his speech on Friday on another account. We can trace in it, we think, the progress of conversion from Toryism to the op posite principle. He went into Parliament an in genuous and open-minded man, resolved to study each question as it arose, and vote consistently with sup porting the Monarchy. Btlt BILLY HOLMES has his name down on a paper, and BILLY HOLMES goes to him, and tells him that the Corn-law has been made by Sir ROBERT PEEL a party question, and n T o Ar . reason, V r he m ust attend in the House of Commons, an d vote against L but merely calls on Mr. GIB SONLIERS' motion. BILLY HOLMES assigns to vot e . So, —O, on th e question of education, the fiat of B ILLY Ho Mr. GIBSO N to vote laEinS is the sta believes, after giving the subject mucharantwhich he considera tion,understand b :g warrant for will tend t o ra i se the peopl e th e depths ir d duties ti e n : ignorance, and m a k e t h em as men and citizens. BILLY HOLMES and Sir ROBERT PEEL are, however, inexorable, and to their his decree Mr. GIBSON mus t sacrifice judgment. He naturally revolts at suc h menta l slavery— such degrading party slavery, worse even than is imposed on the poor humblesOL tenants-at-will, for they only vote once in four or five years, while a Member Of the House of Commons must vote twice or thrice a-week—he naturally revolts, being an ingenuous, high-minded man, at what is so contrary to his notions of dignity as having his vote a n d hi s opi n i ons commanded by a whipper-in, and he betakes him self to Liberalism, as giving a chance of freedom and independence. He sees too that the Church is kept on foot, at a vast expense, to instruct the people, and he finds when he comes to trace the modern conduct of the clergy that they are they bitterest enemies of knowledge, opposing its progress by all the means in their power. He witnesses the Bishop of LON DON raising a religious cry for party purposes ; he witnesses Dr. Ho ox decrying the knowledge of the humblest and most convenient art as an abomination, and he becomes disgusted—thoroughly disgusted, as every ingenuous mind must—with the offensive corn - bination of deceit, mental slavery, and hypocrisy which constitute Toryism. The history of his con version is plainly written, and we recommend it to the study of the Tories, that they may be sen sible in time of the dissolution to which their party is hastening. The Bank of England has issued a notice that it will be prepared on Wednesday to receive ten ders for the purchase of the terminable annuities it now holds. This notice produced a great sensation amongst the monied men, and is con sidered as a decisive proof that the Bank is deter mined to go great lengths to provide for its own safety, and curtail the circulation. Whatever it can do to make prices fall will he done. Mr. HUME will find in its present conduct another illus tration of his principles. We have received a file of the Bombay Times to the 19th of May inclusive. A letter had then been received which stated that an engagement had taken place between the troops of DOST MA Ho m - MED KHAN and one of the British brigades ap pointed to assist the Shah SOOJAH-00L-MOOLOK, to recover the Throne of Candahar. " The irregu lar horse," says the account alluded to, " fell back, according to orders, upon the approach of the enemy ; the latter fancying that they had put the whole British army to flight, rushed on tumultously, till encountered by General SALE'S brigade, which repulsed them with great slaughter, and captured nine guns." This account is considered by the Bombay Times to require authentication ; but no doubts were entertained by that Journal of the complete success of the expedition. The next arrivals were expected to bring the news of the occupation of the Throne of Candahar, by Shah SOOJA H. Letters from Lieutenant POTTINGER, dated the 18th of March, from Herat, were received by the Bombay Government. The City was then tran quil ; but fears were apprehended of another hostile visit from the Shah of PERSIA, who was, by his agents, busy inciting the neighbouring Chiefs to unite against Karr RAM. Letters from Lahore of the 19th of April state that the life of the Maharajah RUNJEET SINGH " hangs by a thread." In consequence of the severity of his late cerebral attack, the power of articulation was wholly gone. His Highness, how ever, was able to take his usual morning exercise, and was preparing to submit to a course of ho moeopathic treatment, recommended by his German physician—a gentleman in whose skill he places unbounded confidence. On the 23d of April a severe shock of earth quake was felt at Rangoon and Atnarapora. At latter place 500 lives were reported to be lost. Several pagodas were thrown down, and one of a large size, in the mountains, was swallowed by the rending of the earth. The accounts from the capital of Burmah are more favourable than those previously received. THARRAWADDEE began to discover that he had too many enemies at home to deal with to allow him, with impunity, to add Great Britain to the number. But, notwithstanding his pacific pro fessions, he omitted no opportunity secretly to annoy and incommode the British Resident, who on his part was laying the foundation of an influence which might lead to the redemption of an enslaved, oppressed, and discontented people. The intended formation of an Anglo-Indian So ciety in London, for bettering the condition of the inhabitants of British India, excited a good deal of interest in Bombay. We shall take an - early opportunity of calling attention to the suggestions of the Native Press upon this subject. Last Thursday, in the French Chamber of De puties the budget was brought on, when the Chamber voted for the pay of all the Cardinals, Archbishops, and Bishops of France, the sum of 1,027,000 francs, or 41,0001., and at the same time passed a vote of 40,000 francs as a fund for the promotion of education. This is independent of the annual grant for the support of normal and district schools, and is divided among a certain number of young men who have distinguished themselves at school, to enable them to prosecute their studies at the Universities. According to returns given in by the Church itself, f o r the three years ending 1831, the annual pay to the English Bishops (exclusion of the Irish) was 157,7371. which sum is to be pared down by degrees to the trifle of 148,875/. a year, or, putting Cardinals out of the question, four times as much as is paid to the heads of the French hierarchy, with just doubles the population, more (if we include patronage) than is paid to all the Scottish Clergy together, a n d more than five times as muc h as was voted in the English budget for National Education, 30,000/.—a grant ' which these wealthy Bishops are moving heaven and earth to frustrate ! The Revolution brought the Bishops and Nobles of France to their senses. Accounts from Vienna, received last night, re present the recovery of the SULTAN as in the last degree hopeless. Some of the physicians in at tendance on his Imperial Highness had intimated to one of the European Ambassadors, that it was doubtful whether he would live a month from the 20th ult. We have received the whole of the Paris Paper of Friday and Saturday. The French Court of Peers have found BARBES and MtALolv guilty, the former of murdering Lieute nant DROINEAU, and the latter of the murder of Bri gadier JOANAS, during the enteule on the 12th of May. The other prisoners have likewise been found guilty of rebellion, and of being taken with arms in their hands, for the purpose of overthrowing the established Go vernment. There were 160 Peers present, of whom 120 unanimously voted for the condemnation of the ac cused. On the part of the press, and a numerous body of the Chamber of Deputies, the most active exertions were making to prevent the effusion of blood. A deputation, consisting of upwards of a hundred Members of the Chamber of Deputies waited on the Minister of Justice, and implored the Government to sanction the passing of a law for abolishing the punish ment of death for political offences. Every enlightened man in France has become sensible that the political fanaticism which denies to the Chief Magistrate the poor privilege of around slumber, of a sense of security in bed, or at board—in the Council-chamber, in the midst of his Ministers, in the Palace, in the bosom of his family, or at a rev7ew, with 50,000 bristling bayonets to defend him, derives its very existence from, and is kept alive, fostered, and propagated, by the cnsanguined knife of the guillotine. The blood of fanatics is the seed of fanaticism, whether in religion or politics. All that is wanted to hallow BAaBJs in the memory of the youth of France is his decapitation. With respect to the charges of his murdering Lieutenant DROINEAU, it was not proved in such a way as would satisfy any English Jury of hi s gu il t . W e are persuaded that had he shot that unfortunate officer he would have as boldly avowed it as he did his being the prime leader and mover of the insurrection. The evidence upon the whole trial was most contradictory, and, on the part of the Procureur-General, it was con ducted with remorseless severity. His defence of the prompting of a witness by a National Guard to indicate BARBES as the actual murderer of the Lieute nant, after that witness had sworn that be could not re cognise the criminal among the accused, is a dark stain upon his character which can never be erased. But there appears to he no less danger than impolicy in carrying the sentence of the Court into execution. The following is the sentence of the Court pro nounced at 10 o'clock on Friday evening : After the formal recapitulation of the names of the pri soners, their counsel, &c., the Court declares :—Bonnet, Lebarzic, Dugas, and Gregoire to be acquitted, no suffi. cient evidence having been adduced against them. With regard to the other prisoners, the Court, consider ing that they are convicted of having committed an attempt, the object of which was to destroy the Government, and excite civil war by arming and inducing the citizens to arm themselves against each other : As relates to Barbes, consider inn that he is convicted of having, in execution of the said attempt, and pith preme ditation, been one of the authors of the homicide commit ted on the person of Lieut. Droineau : As relates to Mialon, already convicted of crime, con sidering that he is convicted of having, on the 12th May, committed with premeditation voluntary homicide on the person of Quarter-master Joanas, of the municipal guard ; THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 15, 1839. Declares all these prisoners guilty of an attempt against the safety of the State—a crime provided for by article! 87, 88, and 91 of the penal code ; and Barbes and Mialon in particular guilty of wilful murder. Considering, there fore, that the punishment ought to be proportioned to the degree of participation of each prisoner in the crimes of which be is accused, condemn Barbes to death, and Mialon to hard labour for life. Martin Bernard, to transportation ; Delsade, Austen, and Phillippet, 15 years' detention ; Nougues and Martin, six years' detention; Guilbert, Roudil, and Lemiere, five years' detention; Longuet and Maresc a ], th ree years ' im prisonment; Walch and Pierne, two }ears' imprisonment. All of the above prisoners who are condemned to deten tion are to remain for the whole o. their lives under the surveillance of the high police. Martin, Longuet,Ma'reseal, Walch, and Pierne, from the expiration of their punishments, are to remain under the surveillance of the high police for ten years. All the prisoners convicted are condemned, in soliio, to pay the costs of the proceedings. The execution of the sentence is intrusted to the dili gence of the Procureur- General. s soon the sent. nea was publicly; known on th morning of Saturday, the students of the different colleges of law and medicine assembled to the number of 2,000, and marched down to Neuilly, to beg Barbes' pardon at the hands of the King; the result of this v:sit was not yet known, but it was hoped that it would be favourable : the conduct of these young men was so orderly that there was every reason to hope that it would make an impression on the King's mind. There is no news of any political interest in the Paris Journals of Saturday. ST. PETERSBUR3H, JULY 4.—A letter from Hamburg saes that a ship bearing Russian colours, supposed to be employed in the slave-trade, bad been captured on the African coast by an English cruizer, and carried into Spithead. There was no Russian subject on board the ship, even the Captain was a foreigner. The Petcrsburgh Journal is therefore authorised to republish an order ad dre,sed in December, 1835, to the Russian Consuls, hav ing reason to believe that individuals disregarding the laws of their country, continue to carry on the African slave trade, and hoist Russian colours to escape pursuit on the part of the powers who have resolved to put down the slave-trade, the Consuls are ordered to give notice to all shipowners and captains that no person has a right to use the Russian flag without the express permission of the Government, and that any unlawful use of it is to be considered as a fraud, the consequences of which fall on the guilty, who cannot in any case ap peal to the colours they have abused as a ground of applying to the Imperial Government in order to escape the punishment which they have justly incurred.—Prus• sian State Gazette, July 11. STUTTGARD, JULY 2.-T h e King of W'irtemberg set out for Italy this morditg.

The Christinos had intercepted a correspondence between the Pretender and CABRERA, evidently carried on without the knowledge of MARoTo, extracts from which appear in the Gazette of that date. From CABRERA'S letters it appears that he is by no means averse to a compromise with the Madrid Ministry, if he could procure the Crown for Don CARLOS. He affects to regard the Pretender as MAROTO'S prisoner, and intimates that he will obey no orders which are not accompanied with secret instructions from " his Royal Master." DON- CARLOS assents ; and thus MAROTO is vir tually declared an enemy to the Pretender. The publication of this correspondence will widen the disseu• sions already existing at the Pretender's head-quarters ; but it may be doubted whether the Government would not have employed them to better effect had it sent them at once to MAnoTo, and left it to him to consult for his own safety, and the humiliation of hi s an d Spain's enemies. PRICE OF SUGAR. EFFECT OF MONOPOLY. Table showing the ex-duty price of West India Sugar in Mincing-lane, and comparing the same against that of Foreign Sugars - London, 13th July, 1839. The Gazette of last night quotes the average Per cwt. price of British Plantation Muscovado Sugar, exclu,ive of duty at .............................. 402. 61d. The actual quantity sold in the w ee k ending the 9th July, on account of the importers, on which the above price is computed—consisted of 1,074 hhds. 43 trs. and 83 brls.— and not of 1,500 hhds. as estimated in the market. Muscovado Sugars raised by free l a b our, East of the Cape of Good Hope, are worth this w ee k f rom 183. to 235. per cwt., being about 19s. per cwt. less than the price of West India Sugar. The evils apper aining to this most unjust monopoly do not terminate with defrauding this nation out of nearly four millions sterling per annum in the excess of price paid to the West Indians for Sugar ; they extend far beyond the perpetration of this robbery. huge as it is, they positively wither and blight numerous branches of our commerce. Next week we will point the attention of the puLlic to one instance out of many, in which the commercial enterprise of our countrymen is sevcrelylasctriypepalred Ibtyistnhoewpearptpiiacrioenuts effects of this favouritism t) West Indian interests. The returns of the deliveries of Sugar from the various bonded warehouses for consumption were last week again very short of what they were , to :he West Indians themselves, that the peeple will not consume Sugar at the present prices, and that if the impor tation were really much less than it is —there would be Sugar enough for the few (the rich) who will have Sugar at any price. The market is heavy—Sugars may be quoted 3s. per cwt. less than the highest prices —the Gazette average price in this month in 1537, and in 1 838, was about 335. per cwt. ; to purchase Sugar on similar terms, the present market price must recede fully 7s. per cwr. The rumour spread throughout the country that the negroes have follow e d the example set themby the J a maica House of Assembly—is not generally true. Some few of the blacks cert a i n ly did, like their w hi te b rethren re fuse to work, but they have since resumed their labours:; whether the whites will be like wise, remains to be seen. METROPOLITAN POLITICAL SUMMARY. The Times of this morning, in the course of a leading article, suggested by the education grant, takes the op poi tunity of informing the Bishop of Norwich that it will most certainly smash, and utterly abolish, him, one of these days, if he do not act as our Contemporary would have him, as respects the education scheme. We hope this awful menace will not seriously endanger his Lordship's health ! Here it is !—" One word to Lord Bishop Stan ley. This person will certainly provoke us some of these days to teach him his proper dimensions, which at present he seems to be ludicrously ignorant of l" In another article on the subject of the Slave Trade the Times states, on the authority of Mr. Fowell Buxton, that this infernal traffic is now carried on with more activity than ever, and chiefly at Brazil and the Southern States of America. The Morning Chronicle thus enumetates the Tory Peers who went up t o t h e palace on F r id a y w ith th e sop education address B y referring to the Court Cir cular, we find a li s t o f seventy Peers, out o f which there are only nine wh o were not created English Peers , or pro moted to their p resent grade by Tory Ad m i n i strations since the accession of George the Third. Of the five Dukes, there a re t h ree old and two new. Of the twenty five Earls, six are old, eighteen new, and one representa tive. The seven Viscounts are all new. But the Barons present the most lamentable figure. Even Sir Robert Peel might, with out presumption, take his seat to-morrow among these no v i h omines! " The Mornin g P ost alluding e scheme, says.: — " We do to the recent debates in the Commons, on th e penny posta-g not think th a t th e w h ole of Mr. Goulburn's resolutions were suitable to th e case. We do not th i n k t h at i t was the part of the Opp os i t i on to propose an absolute rejection of the Post office Reform in the present Session. The victory in the Post-office case, is that of the Radical party over the Government." The Moinzng Herald remarks on the subject of her Majesty's answer to the Tory anti-education address : " To throw the responsibility of the uncivil answer to the Lords personally on the Queen, i s cruel towards the sove reign, and insulting t owards the country. " The Morning Adv er ti ser observes of the penny postage scheme, that—" The necessa r y opera ti o n of this measure must greatly contribute to the social intercourse of all classes and sects of th e community , a nd to the extension of the sacred cause of education," This morning at half -past ten the half-yearly inspection of the 2d Battalion of the Fusilier Guards took place in Hyde Park, by the Commander-in- Chief, the Duke of Wellington, and a brilliant staff. The battalion, in open column, marched past in ordinary and quick time, formed square to receive cavalry, and concluded their last manceuvre by forming line upon the centre company, ad vanced, saluted the Commander-in-Chief, and retired. His Lordship seemed highly pleased with their steady and soldier-like appearance. The Duke of Wellington was loudly cheered as he left the ground. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Late on Saturday afternoon the following notice was issued from the Bank of England : " The Governor and Company of the Bank of England do hereby give notice, that they will he ready to receive tenders, for the purchase of Annuities terminable on the sth of April, 1867, granted under the Act 3d Geo. IV., cap. 51, on Wednesday next, the 17th July, at Twelve o'Clock, such Tenders to be made either in money or in Three per Cents. Consolidated, or in Three per Cents. Reduced Annuities, or Three-and-a• Half per Cents. An nuities, and to be for sums of not less than 10,0001. Money or Stock." The above intimation being made public at so late an hour, and on a Saturday, when most of the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange had left for their country residences, caused much surprise, and the general opinion is that the public will not purchase the terminable Annuities; it is more likely that this dead weight will answer the purpose of the Insurance Companies and Bankers, but it depends on the sealed price demanded by the Bank Directors. By the above operation it is evident that the pressure of the present money crisis bears heavily on the Bank Corpo ration. LIVERFOOL COTTON MARKET, SATURDAY.—" We have a good demand for Cotton to-day, and the market closed with considerable firmness, at an advanced price of -id. per lb. The sales 4,000 to 6,000 bags. We have received the Hamburg papers of the 12th of July by the mail. Exchange on London 13 4 lower; Metalliques, 106 ; B ink Shares, 1,509 ; Gold 541, same as per last post. The City of Hamburg steamer arrived on Saturday at Falmouth, with mails from Lisbon, and two Indian mails from Gibraltar, whence she sailed on the 4th inst. from Cadiz on the sth, Lisbon on the Bth , Oporto on the 9th, Vigo on the 10th. The arrivals from Lisbon state that the Cortes have been principally occupied during the past week on the subject of the Budget, which is still under discussion; the particulars of the news from Lisbon will be found in ano ther part of the paper; all was tranquil there when the ace iunts left. We have received Cape of Good Ilope papers to the 25th of April. We have received New Brunswick papers to the 16th June. We extract the following : " Rumours of the most unpleasant description relative to the Clerk of the House of Assembly, have been current during the past week. It is stated that he has left home with a large sum of money, from 2,0001. to 5,0001., placed in his hands to pay the contingencies of the House of As sembly. There is no doubt that Col. Fitzgibbon has gone from home, that be received a sum of money to pay the contingencies, and that he has only partly done so." We have received Calcutta papers, but they are of old dates. Gibraltar papers to the sth July have been received, but they have been anticipated in their intelligence from Spain by the French papers.; 4 . .. , The notice from the Bank Directors, of their intention to receive tenders for the purpose of terminable Annuities, has not had that effect on the funds which was anticipated on Saturday afternoon.

BATHING.—On Saturday morning, between six and seven o'clock, a fatal accident occri 'red to Augustus Howden, eighteen years of age, the son of the Reverend Vesey Ilowden, residing at St. John''s Wood, Regent's Park. The unfortunate gentleman company with a friend, proceeded to the Regent's Car Al to bathe ; being seized with cramp he was unfortunately drowned before assistance could be rendered. The body was conveyed home in an hour afterwards. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT F 'ROM WINDOW CLEANING.-On Thursday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, a fine: youth, named Johr r. Born, fell from the third floor window of the house, No. 244, in Blackfriars road, upon the iro a railings in front of the shop. The suf ferer was immediately picked up and conveyed to the sur gery of Mr. Jam es, a few doors off, hut who advised his immediate removal to St. Thomas's -hospital, whither be was conveyed in a cal by two policem ea. Upon examina tion it was discovered that the right Ili, ;•,11 and the left leg were broken, while I he forehead was: c' mpletely smashed in, and the brains %too ere protruding. li .e was immediately attended by Mr. Tra' yers, but remains w :thout the slightest hope of recovery. 'The youth was elf !ailing the window when the accident happened, and had j tot outside for that purpose. SINGULAR EFVECT OF THE S TORNl.—During the severe storm of tb under and lightnii ig which prevailed at Bromley, Kent, and its vicinity on Si inday evening last, about half-past ten„ a body of fluid wao observed to burst apparently at a A( At distance, and to I .)reak into innumer able zigzag coruscations of light of int. ense brilliancy and superb colours. The radiations flew 7in all directions, and the burst of lig ht was instantaneous followed by two tremendous expi esions, which shook ale. buildings in the neighbourhood, and the successive rors of thunder were awful in the extreme. fl) house of Mr. James Gould, situate on Martin's -hill, near the tot in, was struck by the lightning, and severely , iamaged. A portion of the electric fluid was attracted by A zinc chimney -top placed upon a stack of chimneys on his-..house ; the zinc top was torn off, and the remaining tops „ wcrt shattered to pieces, and the particles thrown into tit° Adjoining field, a dis tance of thirty yards from the ape t; the t:uid having reached the slated roof, travelling by me ins of the' bell-metal nails, drawing them from the wood an. l raising an a l dispersing the slates, and causing other devastat ions, forcing away the lath and plaster, thus making a clear Passage en the outside of the brickwork towards the grou ad. Mr. Gould and his family, with some other friends, rere sitting near the fire place in the room on t h e c hi mne y o r which the zinc top was placed which had been struck by the electric fluid, and most providentially escaped. The el Fects of the fluid ex tinguished the candles thatt were hum iing on the table, fill ing the room with a strong suffecatio ; sulphureous vapour, and sli g h t l y s i nge i ng t h e hair of sons eof them. Had the fluid continued in its course down time aperture of the chim ney, the consequences would haver o ved fatal. F-7 THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. Last week's return was again small of English grain, but there was a good quantity of Foreign Wheat, which goes to bond. There was very little corn of any sort fresh up, and the best Wheat sold readily at last week's rates ; other sorts went off slowly. Of Barley, Beans, and Pease, very little offering, and the demand being limited, no variation in their value has occurred. Oats come sparingly, and prices unvaried. Fresh Flour meets a fair sale—other sorts dull, and the rates remain aslast week. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP Wheat, Red (old) —s --5 Beans, Small (new) 43; 4k .-- White (old) —s. s.

BRUSSEL, ' JULY 11.—The average price of wheat last week was 24f. 33c. and that of rye, 13f. 68c. The importation remains free and duty and expor tation prohibited till the 15th of July, at which time the law of the 3d of January 1839 will cease to operate (saving the cases provided for in the 3d article) and then the law of the 3d July 1834 will again be in force. The alloniteur contains, besides the statement above, a notice from the Minister of the Interior that after the 15th of July, the importation will be as follows, Import. Export. Wheat, 1,000 Killogrammes Free of. 25e. Rye, ditto 2lf. 50e Of. 25e. A . later from Namur of the Bth of July states that on the preceding night a great portion of the buildings of the beautiful Abbey of St. Gerard was destroyed by fire. But for the activity of several slaters and other inhabitants the whole village would have experienced the same fate. The building was insured. BRUSSELS, JULY 12.—We hasten to inform our readers that the Count de Gourieff, Charge d'Affaires of Russia at Naples, is going to be accredited in the same capacity at the Court of Brussels.—Courier Beige. We are assured that the negociations between the Go vernment and the assignees of Mr. John Cockerill, are terminated, and that the Minister of Public Works intend, to make Seraing the general and sole manufactory for everything necessary for the continuation, &c., of the iron railroad. The contract, it is said, is drawn up in such a manner as not to require the approbation of the Chambers. The two Ministers who have drawn it up, having confined them selves to the li.nits of the vote of credit, which they sup pose will be annually given for the iron railroad. This cannot be admitted, for if such an establishment is purchased by the State, the Minister cannot apply the sums voted for the iron railroad to the payment of real property the purchase of which has not been legally sanctioned. In such a case the Treasury would incur risks, which can not be recovered by the responsibility of the Ministers. A fire, an inundation, might destroy Seraing and all it con tains. Who then would insure for the loss, if the acts of Ministers had not been ratified by a law. Tha Augsburg Gazette (of the Bth and 9th) publishes letters from Alexandria of the 16th, 17th, and 19th of June. They do not furnish us with any further particu lars of the real position of the Turkish and Egyptian armies. The following is a summary of the contents of these letters : " The greater part of the fleet sailed on the 16th, and the remainder on the 17th. Mustapha Pacha is the admi ral, and Hassan Bey the vice-admiral. All the ships of the line cruise on the coast of Egypt. Some corvettes have been sent before, because it is thought that the Turkish fleet, which took in provisions and water a wcek before at Gallipoli, bad left the Dardanelles. "It is said that is to land troops i 1 Syria or in Egyp►. We have no news of the English and French fleets. Troops of Bedouins of the Desert, led by their Sheiks, daily pass through the city, singing and clapping their hands (this is their military music), who repair to the Viceroy's palace, and are immediately embarked, after receiving three months' pay. A part, however, will remain to guard the coast. On the 10th of June Mehemet Ali had ordered his son to attack the Turkish army ; but on the 16th he told him that if the attack had net been made at the time of the arrival of M. Caille, Aide-de-Camp to Marshal Soult, who is to deliver him a letter, he is to halt, supposing that the Turks retire. M. Caille is to embark on board a steam boat for Syria, on the 9th in the evening. FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, JUNE 27.—The Deputies of the country assembled at Baigrade have received interesting communications from the Regency and the Senate, which excite much irritation against the deposed Prince. On this occasion it must not be forgotten that history records similar circumstances in the case of almost all those men who have been suddenly cast down from an elevated po sition, which they retained by their own services. Weak nesses, and faults may perhaps be imputed to Prince Mi losch ; nobody will deny this, but at the same time every body will own that his services to Servia far outweigh them, and it must be considered as hard at least that be should be treated with enmity in his present situation. In consequence of these communications the Deputies have unanimously expressed the satisfaction of the Ser vian people with the new state of things, resolved to send a deputation to the Turkish Pacha and the Russian Consul to request them to obtain the approbation of their respective Courts. A permanent Committee of eight Members having been chosen to complete the new organisation in concert with the Senate and the Regency, the AssetnUy broke up and the Deputies returned to their homes. It is said that the Senate has resolved to suppress all the pensions granted by Milosch, to reduce the salaries of the public functionaries, and to take other steps to relieve the people. General John Obrenowitsch, the Prince's young brother, is still under arrest at Belgrade. He says he did nothing but in obedience to his brother's orders. THE HAGUE, JULY 11.--The Slaats Courant of this (let?, in conformity with a Royal Ordinance to that effect, publishes the treaty between Holland and the Five Great Po.-ers, the treaty between Holland and Belgium, both concluded on the 19th of April this year ; also the acces sion of the German Confederation to the seven articles of the latter treaty. The treaties arc both in the Dutch and French languages, and fill the journal and three supple ments. VENLoo, Juts B.—Six hundred barrels of gunpowder have arrived here to-day, from Gorcam. We hope that more ammunition of all kinds will soon follow, that this fortress, which-has been so scandalously stripped of every thing by the Belgians, may be again properly fortified. AMSTERDAM, JULY 11.-The Steals Courant publishes the general regulations for the ceremonies which are to take place on the arrival of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Orange. BREDA, JULY 11.—Since the restoration of the free in tercourse with Belgium the traffic through this town is very much increased, the number of travellers from Holland to Belgium is so groat that the diligences are often accompa nied by two, three, or even four, occasional carriages, &c. ; it is very rare for the ordinary diligence to set out alone. The number of travellers from Belgium is likewise very great, but it seems not to equal that of travellers from Holland to Belgium. TILBURG. JULY 10.—His Royal Highness the Prince, Field Marshal, arrived here early this morning. BERLIN, JULY 9.—His Imperial Highness the Arch duke Albert of Austria has arrived hero from Vienna, anij lodges in the apartments prepared for him in the Royal Palace. T' C _IIE HARTIST RUN ON THE SAVINGS' BANKS.-We advise all who have been so foolish as to withdraw larger sums than they can be allowed to return to those institutions, to carry back immediately as much as can be received at one time; and to take the remainder to some private banker, by whom we believe it will be readily rscAved, and in whose hands it will be safe until it can be wholly restored to its original place of deposit —a place affording greater security for the savings of the labouring classes, and a better return than can be obtained anywhere else. It cannot be supposed that private bankers desire to receive a great many small deposits, but they will doubtless consent to do so from motives of b mevolence—to save the poqi from being robbed, or from wasting their little capitals in idleness and extravagance, which is just as bad,—Corn wall Gazette. CROPS (IRELAND).—Again to-day we have the satisfaction cf announcing that our accounts from the other side of the water are gratifying, as regards the pros pect presented by the present state of the crops. The Southern Reporter of Cork, and one or two other pro vincial Papers, complain that too much rain had fallen recently, that the season is ungenial, and that unless the weather improves there will be much mischief. There is a simple mode of removing the obstruc tions of the Eustachian tubes in cases of deafness. It con sists in merely closing the nose and mouth, and forcing the breath into the tubes by the act of expiration. This plan was some years ago communicated to the Medical Society of London. PoLiCE AT THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—The metropolitan system of police is abost to be carried into effect at the Cape of Good Hope, owing to the increase of offences in that Colony. Inspector King, of the L divi sion, has been recently appointed superintendent, and sails for Cape Town in a few days, for the purpose of organising the force over which he is to be placed. He takes his pas sage on board the Thomas Snook merchantman, in which vessel fifteen children belonging to the Children's Friend Society are going out to the Colony. RATIONALE OF PROPERTY.—Why, it has been asked, should man be allowed to appropriate more than is necessary for his support? We ask, what support is meant ? The momentary satisfying of his hunger by shooting a deer, or plucking a frait? Is he allowed to shoot several deer, and dry the meat for the winter? Is he not allowed to cultivate a tree which shall give him fruit for certainty, so that not be exposed again t o hun ger, the pain of which he may hheknows already ? May he not cul tivate a patch of land to have corn for his children ? If he has slain a buck to satisfy his hunger, is he allowed to appro priate the skin to himself, and call it is own ? If the industri ous fisherman sails to the bank of Newfoundland to appro priate to himself the unappropriated codfish, has he no right to catch as many as he thinks he and his children shall want for the whole year? But they cannot live upon cod fish alone, may he not take so many cod-fish as to exchange part of them for other food or clothing?

Seine of our Contemporaries have noticed the arrival of intelligence from India of the entry of our army into Kandahar, and of tha resignation of Dost Mahomed Khan in favour of Shah Soojah. Although the tenour of the former accounts renders such a circumstance highly probable, we regret we cannot announce its official confir mati, n. Our Government, we understand, has derived its only' intelligence on the subject through Vienna. The accounts which reached the Austrian Governmont were dated the 19th of June trolls Constantinople, but no dates are given for the alleged occurrences in India.—Observer. . . liosslNl.—Rossint has given up his inten tion of going to France, at least for the present, having set off from Bologna for Naples. He has accepted the office of Honorary Director-General of the Bologna Con serv9tGry of Music. The Dublin Evening Post says, " It is with extreme gratification that we witnessed the abstinence from the usual processions, on the Ist July last, throughout the province of Ulster. The admirable proclamation of the Lord Lieutenant was received in the same spirit which dictated it, and we are happy to find that the Orange anniversary of the 12th (Friday) is likely to pass over in perfect tranquillity."

VIOLENT ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO MURDER.-We last week gave-the particulars of a murder ous attack upon William Manley, one of the constabulary officers, by six men, on Newton Moor, with the view of preventing his appearance at the ensuing Chester assizes, in the prosecution of the Rev. Mr. Stephens. Since then, another violent attack has been made, almost in open day, upon George Nicholls, a special constable, of Dukinfield, and a corroborative witness against Mr. M.Douall, a Member of the National Convention for Ashton, on a charge of misdemeanor, whose trial will come on in the ensuing month at Chester. A systematic animo sity has prevailed amongst the working cla:ses of that dis trict against Nicholls, for the part lie has taken in the pro secution ; and he has already been deprived of employment at his usual colliery, in consequence of the colliers of New ton Wood having struck against his working in those pits, whilst his peace and his life has been threatened in a variety of ways. On Monday last he had been at Sta. lybridge ; and on his way home to Dukinfield, by the canal side, he was attacked by John Cooke, of Staly bridge, and John Williamson, of the same place, cotton spinners, who threw him into the canal, and then ran away. Fortunately two privates of the 20th regiment, now stationed at Dukinfield, were passing at the mo ment, in the advance, one of whom pursued, and the other jumped into the water to the assistance of Nicholls, who, after being released from drowning, joined the pur suit with the other soldier. After a severe chase, Cooke was run down ; Williamson, uho is a determined charac ter, succeeded by the interruption of the turn bridge, and, thus cutting off the pursuit, got clear away. Nothing can exceed the exertions made by the soldiers; and to them is owing both the preservation of Nicholl's life, and the ap prehension of one of the villains and the identification of the other.—Since writing the above, Williamson has sur rendered ; and on Wednesday the two prisoners were brought up at the Court House, Stalybridge, for examina tion. The prisoners have been admitted on bail to appear on Friday.—Stochport Advertiser. FATAL ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE ARGYLL STEAMER.—We have the painful task of announcing a very fatal accident which occurred last Thursday on board the Argyll steamer, while that vessel was on her annual pleasure trip during the fair, to Locbgilphead, with up wards of 200 passengers. The vessel, according to cus tom, was to touch of different places on her passage, and the first was Renfrew Ferry. She had just stopped at the Railway Wharf there,and new passengers were on the act of getting on board, when the boiler burst with a tremen dous explosion, to the terror and dismay of all on board. The consequences were dreadful. Boiling water and steam rushed out upon the passengers in a torrent, and all was confusion and terror. When the steam had cleared away, the fatal effects of the explosion were at once ascertained. Two engineers were killed almost outright—a fireman was so seriously injured that he was not expected to live when the accounts came away, and five or six of the passengers wore grievously scalded. Prompt assistance was immediately afforded to the sufferers, and all, except the engineers and fireman, are expected to recover. One of the former was a frighful spectacle, his face and head being dreadfully lacerated by the force of the explosion. The fireman was in the act of descending below when it took place. We have only I eard one cause assigned for the bursting of the boiler. It is stated to have been recently patched, and the new plates having been imperfectly rivetted, could not resist the pressure of the steam. No fault whatever, we believe, can be imputed to the Master.—Scots Times (Glasgow). LAW.---LOOSE WOMEN.-It appears that the City police have received orders to remove all prostitutes whom they may find walking at night in Fleet-street, or any other large thoroughfare. One of these wretched females was brought before Sir Peter Laurie on Friday at Guildhall, when Sir Peter said if the police bad been in. strutted to take up these women for merely walking to and fro they had overstepped their authority, for the law made them punishable only when they conducted themselves in. decently or riotously. The policeman said the metropo litan police apprehended these women for only walking up and down. Sir Peter replied that the city officers must not follow that example, or they might have actions for false imprisonment brought against them. Mr. Whithair, the superintendent, came in to explain the order. He meant to prevent women from patrolling a particular dis trict. If a woman walked from Temple-bar thro ugh Fleet-street and straight on she was nottobpneoiintte, so a rupts e ; but if she turned back on reaching a given b p e a s s a p a np to dr classTe re hhee p nr a ed s we s wad a s a. n s pnr o soe ffi i tvr e c a F: r et eea w dtp e i i r t t fa h rsl i on n imi nd h walking u f an el rkopi pno egl e o vveu u hp r he , ar s aed h n e and owf female such wa t l ne e quietlyop f o w th e i r ; and decently. The prisoner was dismissed, with a caution to behave orderly in the public streets. 14%14 EVENING `EDITION.
