Between the Acts, a Divertissement, in which will be introduced the admired Pas de Deux from " Les Houris," by Mdlle. Cerito and M. St. Leon. o conclude with the new Ballet Divertissement, by M, Perrot, entitled The calendar of the now pending assizes for the county of Suffolk presents some features of appalling atrocity, to which, however, we shall allude as briefly as the importance of the circumstances may seem to justify. It is never without serious misgivings as to the consequences of dwelling, too emphatically or fre quently, on great crimes, that we advert, as matter of duty, to those occasional outbreaks of wickedness and audacity, which, from their simultaneous and ex tensive manifestation —among many districts—on the part of many classes of people—sometimes impress us with the probability of moral as well as of physical conta gion — Of this class of offences incendiarism, or arson, is, perhaps, one of the most remarkable and most hideous types. Considered in its relations to, and bearing upon the good order, the peace and security of, property and life, and of organised society itself; there is, perhaps, no delinquency of more aggravated enormity. The pressure of external evils, the inten sity of domestic suffering from privation, poverty, and disease, the want of employment, or the perhaps still more intolerable position of labouring hard for wages inadequate to the satisfaction of even the most sordid condition of human existence ; these are cir cumstances which may be alleged in explanation— but they cannot be pleaded in excuse—of the guilt of the incendiary. The recklessness of his particular malice, or of his general resentment, lights up the blazing pile which is to immolate alike his friend and his foe ; the property of the meritorious and indus trious innocent, as well as the well-filled granaries and stabling of the wealthier, but harder masters, whom he may choose whether on reasonable grounds or out of mere caprice, from overt acts on their side, or consciousness on his, of guilty intentions towards them,—to consider his " ene mies." If his be well-founded, his visitation of it is at once excessive and illegal. If it be not, his act is one in the highest degree of moral turpitude and civil guiltiness. In either case his vengeance is dastardly, secret, and perilous to the community. In both the suicidal folly of the design is worthy of the fiendish malignity of the execution. The hand that lights the match cannot, if it would, extinguish the combustible mass which has once been fatally ignited. The breath that has been vigorous enough to kindle the incipient spark into a devouring flame, is powerless as infancy to arrest the overwhelming progress of con flagration. The arm which has launched the de struction cannot, however remorse of conscience or feeling may prompt its better energies, stay its march. Thus, to the wantonness of one bad impulse the little all of th e sma ll occup i er, and the garnered , harvest and costly stock of the wealthiest farmer, may be alike sacrificed in a moment, by the stealthy cri minal whose facile command over the implements of instant combustion and ruin cannot control, retard, or avert the terrible catastrophe which his infamaus deed has precipitated. But how comes it that in a country like this, — where, generally speaking, the sacredness of private property seems to be rather a native instinct in the people than a mere prejudice of education or an acciden t of our social institutions; how comes it that so syste matic a violation of all the laws, divine and human, which protect the proprietary rights of labour and the wealth acquired by it, should be found to pervade extensive areas of the kingdom, and the dense agricultural population settled upon them ? Alas ! we feel that the cause of such a state of things is so near the surface that the fact itself implies an inexcusable de reliction of their duty, who, aware of its existence and its growth, have not made a timely use oftheir influence and control to extirpate it, or at least to neutralise its manifestations. For what is the startling spectacle which the summary of the Ipswich calendar presents us, so far as regards this iniquity of incendiarism ? Of 55 prisoners for trial, 30 are indicted for the crimes of incendiarism and sending threatening let ters. Two of these 30 are females—and married women (!), respectively of the ages of 32 and 22. These two prisoners can read and write well. Eight others, aged respectively 12, 14, 18, 21, 22, 28, 32, and 53, can read and write imperfectly ; other four, whose ages are 11, 12, 12, and 16, can read but not write ; while fifteen, whose ages range thus, 11, 11, 13, 15, 16, 16, 17, 17, 20, 21, 22, 28, 31, 33, and 40, can neither read nor write at all. So that just one-half of the number indicted for arson, 15 out of 30, cannot write or read; 4 can only read, not write; 8 can write and read im perfectly ; 2, well. Of this mass of prisoners, 15 are aged 18 and upwards; and 14 (just about one-half again, of the whole number) are of ages rising from 11 to 17! Fourteen children, the NESTOR among whom is not more than 17, charged with the awful crime of incendiarism ! Fifteen out of 30 prisoners, on similar dreadful charges, wholly without education ! Why, what could the parochial and district clergy have been about ? Where, in this statement, is there any evidence of those incessant, all-im portant, and spontaneously administered efforts, as enlightening and instructing, informing and guiding the minds of their flocks, especially those of the rising generation, which the Bishop of LONDON, with so much unction, and his Right Rev. Brother of EXETER, with so much vehemence, insist upon as the undoubted and indefeasible merit of the beneficed and the working clergy of the Established Church ? Haply the districts where these offences have been perpetrated are so unfortunate as to be without any adequate array of clerical teachers? We should hardly think so. At least they are not without an ample contingent of magisterial parsons : for (on the authority of the Morning Chronicle, which has supplied us with these details) it would appear that, of the whole thirty prisoners, no less than twenty four were committed by clergymen in the Commission ; and, as if to make this fact still more significant, of the fifteen will could read and write, twelve were sent to prison by reverend pastors, whose time would have been better employed in teaching the ignorant peasant youth of their neighbourhood the first elements of education, and the first elements of their duty to wards God and man, than in the more secular avo cation of hearing charges against them and their fathers. But there may be zealous partisans of the established clergy, who will suppose that the theatre of such offences must have been some remote and savage country district, shut out by mountains or bad roads, or dangerous waters, from the ordinary advantages and communications, which tend so much to the instruction and improvement of the poorer classes in more favoured localities. But the theatre is, in fact, the broad expanse of Suffolk with part of Essex : two model counties of Conservative politics, agriculture, and attachment to our ancient " institutions in Church and State." Had the outrages been perpetrated in Bungay or Chelmsford or Colchester, how loud and fierce would have been the anathernss directed against sectarian criminality and radical disorganisation,—Wesleyan indifference to the moral welfare of its congregations, and Unita rian laxity in the inculcation of all moral or religious principles ! Truly, the Ipswich calendar, with its useful commentary, distinguishing the partially in structed from the utterly ignorant, bears a grave and memorable record against the ministration and use fulness of the established clergy in that part of the kingdom. It will not be readily forgotten. LA PAYSANNE GRANDE DAME. The Principal Characters by Mdlle. Fanny Elssler, M. Perrot , and M. St. Leon.

" The change which had taken place in Cuba, and the conduct of the local authorities in Brazil, were topics on which he was unwilling to express his real sentiments; but these States should recollect that we had treaties with them on that subject; that they had entered into engagements with us, and had thereby placed themselves under obligations as binding, as strong, as though they had ceded to us towns and provinces. We had achieved a conquest of humanity, and were as much entit!ed to enjoy the fruits of that conquest as of any other. Those treaties they must be prepared to full, and he trusted that means would be found to see that they should be executed honestly and faithfully at last. He had no hesitation in saying that if the Governments of Brazil and Spain would, for two or three years, execute faithfully, honestly, and zealously those treaties, the trade would be absolutely at an end." WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE TU DAY. gvorflitig 4r I, , inutes after 11 j _Evening 0 minutes after 0 43/11lenesiftWift /MO, _--~ There are some great public questions, the social interests involved in which command the sympathies of the most bigoted partisans, of all shades of politi cal opinions, in this party-stricken country. We cannot imagine any homage to moral principles--any recognition of their inherent, original influence upon pur common nature--more impressive or consolatory. In this fortunate, but limited class of questions, we may assign a prominent position to that of the aboli tion of the slave trade. It will be remembered, no doubt to the latest posterity, that the voice of party hostility was hushed—that the enmities of political antagonism were suspended—when a Liberal Go• vernment appealed to the British public for the must enormous money contribution ever tendered at one time, and by one act, as a voluntary oblation on the altar of human freedom. Yet even that costly °tiering of 20,000,0001., so confidently proposed to the English Legislature, and so promptly sanc tioned—and so freely and cordially conceded by the English people in 1833 was little more than we had already sacrificed in the same righteous cause, from the period of the first generous labours of GRANVILLE SHARPE, and CLARKSON, and WILBER FORCE, to the commencement of the reign of his late Majesty King WILLIAM IV. The expenses of the naval force we maintained and employed, and the machinery we had to provide and set in motion for carrying out the stipulations of our treaties with va rious Powers on this subject; the cost of our staff upon the mixed commissions established in confor mity with those treaties ; the cost of our Sierra Leone establishment, &c. &c., have amounted to an aggregate scarcely eonceivable by those who have not looked into the history of these proceedings ;—more especially from the date of the declaration of the Al lied Powers against the slave trade, at Vienna, in February, 1815; and in reference to our several con ventions with Spain, in 1817 ; with the Netherlands in 1819 ; with Brazil, in 1828, &c. &c. We have perused, with less surprise than pleasure, the interesting statement submitted to the House of Lords on Thursday evening last, by the Earl of ABERDEEN, and the congratulations tendered to him by Noble Peers from all sides of the House, relative to the revised code of instructions which the Foreign Secretary has caused to be prepared for the instruc tion of naval officers commanding her MAJESTY'S cruisers and vessels of war employed in the suppres sion of the slave-trade. Lord ABERDEEN, after com menting on the insufficiency of the existing "in structions" to officers on this arduous service —(it having been customary to supply them merely with literal copies of the various, original, and supplemen tary treaties relating to slave-trading, from time to time contracted between this country and other Powers, leaving to these commanders the responsible and difficult task of forming their unaided judg ment on the construction of the text in many difficult emergencies which, though varying by appa rently very slight differences of circumstances might be determinable in very broadly differing principles of national law)—expressed his unfeigned astonishmen, at the general discretion, sagacity, and good sense with which our naval officers had acted in their reading of these treaties. The number of these treaties, he re marked, was not less than thirty ; and the revision of their various stipulations, powers, &c., and the draw ing up of the new code of instructions which it was thought just and expedient to found upon them, with a view to the better guidance of these naval officers, had been confided to Dr. LUSHINGTON, Judge of the Court of Admiralty, Dr. ROTHERY (a Civilian of Doctors' Commons), Captain DENMAN, R.N., and Mr. BARDINEL, of the Foreign-office, (so well and honourably known for his reports and official papers 'n connexion with the slave trade). Their " instruc 7ons," after receiving the careful considera of Government, had been examined, amended, and confirmed by the law officers of the Crown, and were now brought forward for the information and sanction of Parliament. The speech of the Earl of ABERDEEN was remarkable for some points of peculiar interest, independently of their con nection with this question of slavery. In alluding to the satisfaction of her MAJESTY'S Government at the opportunity thus afforded them of making public the character and bearing of the instructions given to our cruisers, the Noble Earl administered this digni fied and calm rebuke to the suspicious petulance or our French defamers :—" Her MAJESTY'S Ministers," he said, "felt that, as they had nothing to crnceal, this general publicity was desirable, and they felt that that would afford the best refutation of those calumnious and false assertions and accusations which had been made against the conduct of that country in suppressing the slave-trade—that under the pre text of humanity they really sought the extension of their own commerce, while they crippled and impeded that of other countries." In the short account he gave of the statistics of slave exportation from the coast of Africa, from 1768 (whence our first trustworthy accounts may be said to date) to 1843, we find the appalling statement that fur many years it averaged 100,000 annually; and from 1835 to 1840, the same number to Brazil and Cuba alone. It had latterly much declined. In 1842, Cuba and Brazil included, it had fallen to 17,000, though in 1843 it had risen again to 36,000. Whilst he showed that during the enlightened and prosperous government of General VALDEZ for Spain, in Cuba, the slave importations had prodigi ously declined, owing to that enlightened officer, consistent discouragement of the traffic, he apprised the House of a very contrary policy, which we blush to record as having guided the councils of ESPARTERO during his tenure of all but supreme power in Spain. The whole passage is a remarkable one : " Ire had stated, on a former occasion, and he believed with truth, that had General Valdez remained in the government of the island, and continued to receive the support and confidence of the Government at home, thu slave trade would have been annihilated in that island. He must observe that the Government of the Regent, although well disposed to the abolition of the slave trade, did not support General Valdez at the close of his ad ministration. On the contrary, he received very positive orders to relax in his endeavours for the suppression of that traffic." Lord ABERDEEN, we are glad to perceive, renders ample justice to the active co• operation of the naval forces of the United States with our own, in watching and repressing the trade on the coasts of Africa ; and to the good faith with which France, and Portugal, in a remarkable manner, have lately been redeeming their engagements to us on this head. Of the duplicity of Spain, and the contumacy of Brazil, Lord ABER DEEN speaks in very intelligible terms of displeasure and reprobation. He intimates, too, a tolerably dis tinct purpose of compelling them, if they show a dis position to persist in their shameless violation of the faith of treaties, to yield to graver and more stringent powers than those of State papers, what they obsti nately deny to the impulses of shame on their own parts, and the weight of remonstrances upon ours. Surely Spain forgets the precarious tenure of her colonial sovereignty in Porto Rico, and the Govern ment of Brazil must have forgotten what was the species of danger apprehended by that old Roman who successfully opposed the insidious proposition for registering, by a census, the numerical amount of slave population which then existed within the pre cinct of the Eternal City ? Both Powers may yet do well to nate, deliberately, the opinions expressed by a lea'iing Member of the British Government : these atrocities acted without orders from head quarters ? The Three per Cents, were done at 26i for cash, 261 at sixty days ; and the Fives at 201 for the 26th of August. The only articles of the least interest in the Paris papers relate to the affairs of Morocco, and particularly to the late operations of Marshal BUGEAUD against the Moorish troops. A general belief prevailed, that as the Marshal had returned a third time to his former position on the frontier, he would be unable to penetrate through the desert to Fez; and all, therefore, would depend on the fleet under the Prince DE JOIN VILLE. The National gives the following ac count of the state of affairs in that quarter:— "Marshal Bugeaud is at the head of 8,000 men, in the vicinity of Ouchda. Before him is, in perpetual movement, this little Moorish army, composed of regular troops, or of fanatics, excited by Abd-el-Kader. Three defeats have not discouraged them, and the more con cession the Emperor is willing to make, the more they are excited in the name of the Koran. OR the whole, the influence of Abd-el-Kader commands 3,000 men. Marshal Bugeaud, of course, does not dread these hordes of barbarians that our brave troops make fly before them, but he does not move forward. When attacked, he repels the enemy ; he then returns to his camp, until the same game again commences. Why then does he not advance, penetrate as far as Fez, and spread the terror of our arms throughout the whole em pire ? Six weeks ago, all that was very possible, but now the season is too Jar advanced, the great heats are insupportable ; in spite of all precautions, our soldiers sink beneath an atmosphere of fire. To reach Fez we must march 70 leagues, without a drop of water. "We must wait, but waiting has also its perils. In decision is defeat in the opinion of the Arabs. Until when are we to wait ? Until the autumn commences, and brings on its rains, which render all movement im• possible. In short, we must postpone all operations till the spring. " The sea remains, however, open to us ; but has not M. Guizot declared at the Luxembourg that be would neither touch Tangi er nor Tetuan. Is it England that prevents him ? No doubt it is ; but will England inter dict Spain, Sweden, and Sardinia ? Is it only against us that her orders are directed ? " We are, therefore, for some time to come to expect nothing from Marshal Bugeaud. It is to the squadron commanded by the Prince de Joinville that we are to look for offensive operations." It appears from the Journal des Debatx that on the 9th a grand entertainment was given by Sir ROBERT WILSON, on board the Warspite at Gibraltar, to the Prince DE JOIN VILLE. The whole of the civil, mili tary, and naval authorities, the persons of distinction and note in Gibraltar, and the officers of foreign ships of war in the bay, were present. The Prince was re ceived on board by Sir R. WlLsort and the Captain of the ship, with the utmost cordiality, and the manner and address of his Royal Highness excited the admiration of the whole company. On leaving the Warspite to return to the Pluton, the Prince was saluted with 21 guns. On the 10th his Royal Highness and his aides-de-camp dined with the Governor, who sent his own carriages to convey them, on landing, to the Go vernment House. The same journal confirms the re port that arrests had been made at Neuilly, but it appears they were not of a political character. We regret to learn from these papers that no doubt remains as to the fate of Colonel STODDART and Cap tain CoNour. Colonel SIIEIL had received a letter from Dr. WOLFF, announcing the melancholy fact, that our unfortunate countrymen were executed at Bokhara in June or July, 1842. The following is the official programme for the celebration of the anniversary of the Revolution of July, at Paris :—On Saturday, 27th, funeral services in memory of the citizens who died in 1830, in defence of the laws and liberty, will be celebrated in the various places of public worship. A special ser vice will be performed in the Church of St. Paul, during which the standards on the Pont Neuf will be veiled with crape.—On the 28th, relief will be dis tributed at the homes of the indigent of the various arrondissemens.— On Monday, the 29th, salvos of artillery will be fired, at the Hotel des Invalides, at six in the morning and six in the evening. On the esplanade of the Invalides and the Barriere-du-TrOne, from two o'clock till night, there will be representa tions of military pantomimes, orchestras for dancing, and May-poles with prizes. •At three o'clock there will be jousts on the Seine, between the Pont Royal and the Pont de la Concorde.

The most interesting piece of information brought by the Levant mail, and it is one which will be deplored throughout England, is the confirmation of our worst fears with regard to the fate of Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly. It is with deep regret we have to an nounce that the death of both these gallant officers is at length put beyond a doubt. They were executed at Bokhara in the month of June, 1842. The object of Dr-Wolff being thus unhappily ended, the reverend gentleman was to leave Bokhara towards the end of May, on his way to Europe. The following letter, dated Constantinople, July 7, is published in the Malta Times : "We have just received positive intelligence as to the re sult of Dr. Wolff's mission to Bokhara. Colonel Sheil states, in a letter under date of the Bth of June, from Teheran, that dispatches have arrived from Dr. Wolff, in which he writes that Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly were both of them publicly executed, in June or July, 1842. The Doctor him self, thanks to the letters with which he had been furnished at Constantinople, was courteously received by the Khan of Bokhara, and was to have left that place on the 10th of June. The mystery that hung over the fate of these unfor tunate gentlemen has thus been finally dispelled. Their friends will now know the worst; and even that, perhaps, is better than the painful uncertainty they have so long expe rienced on the subject." UNION - HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Frederick Moss, a Dutchman, was charged with stealing a watch and a gold ring, the property of John Korff, the master of a Dutch galliot ; and Henry Afartin, a waterman, was charged with receiving the articles, knowing them to have been stolen. It appeared Moss came over a passenger in Korff's vessel from Rotterdam, and that on the passage he stole the watch mad ring from the captain's cabin. The vessel having arrived in the river, Moss went ashore, and went into a public-house, where he met the other prisoner, and they fell into conversation. Moss, want ing to pay for some liquor, tendered a Dutch coin, which was refused by the landlord, when Martin proposed to raise money on the watch of his fellow-prisoner, and, with his consent, took it to a pawnbroker's and pledged it and the ring, but instead of delivering the tickets to Moss, he kept them himself. As soon as the Dutchman subsequently prisoner, risone r,rw a r foundaftebdy s , was in possession of the money, the p ro d uce of the articles, he began to drink at such a rate th a t h e fell off the seat, in which condition he was picked up an d taken to the sta tion-house, where 'he Korff, the owner of the watch an d r i ng, and given into custody. Martin, the h redeemed the articles himself, and had th em i n his possession was when he was taken into custody. Mr. TRAILL, on being apprised that Martin's wife had the stolen articles at home, she was sent for to produce them, and, in the meantime, the prisoners were put back until her arrival.

Gentleman who lately visited Birr Castle s and expe rienced the courteous attention of its noble owner, in being conducted by his Lordship through his extensive workshops, and in a minute examination of the " monster" telescope.,,a stupendous monument of scientific skill and mechanical contrivance —that the colossal tube, in length above fifty feet, and i n di ameter nearly eight feet, is now suspended in its permanent position, between the two walls of solid masonry, built to correspond with the architecture of the castle. It is attached at its lower extremity—where the speculum, weighing tour tons, is to be placed"—by a massive universal joint of beautiful workmanship, and weighing nearly three tons • and its counterpoise , a b out seven tons weigh‘ is so skilidully contrived and adjusted that it easily adapts itself to every alteration in any required elevation or depression of the instrument. At the time ofour informant's visit, the speculum was in the actual peocess of being ground, which, together with the subsequent p o li s hi ng, would cupy, perhaps, a fortnight —so that, in about a month AT six weeks from the present time, the public anxiety will, pro bably, be gratified in learning the Zrat ‘vsults, upon which It is impossible to calculate. •, - )T (tu undertaking which, we may confidently . expeetel l'Pliound no less to our national hg, nour, than it does to the k acknowledged tal ev ci s au munigilfin 144ffalitY of the patriotic and no* nrokrzetor---. *194 %VW , British and Irish St eam CoiCompany l62 50 Steam Ship Buildi ng C ompany MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, JULY 26 —We have ha 4 quiet market to-day, but prices continue firm, with the ex ception of South Eastern and Eastern Counties.

The information that a treaty has been at last signed be tween this country and Hanover, by which the long-disputed questions relative to the Stade Duties, have been settled, has given general satisfaction to mercantile men who are interested in the matter in this metropolis. It is also to be remarked, that the duties in future to be imposed upon our, manufac tures, &c., are fully as liberal as was anticipated. No doubt, under the new system, there will be a large commercial inter course between this country and Hanover, and through it with the other large and important mercantile towns on the Continent. In this way, it is more than probable, that the restrictive policy which is still upheld, may be ameliorated, and that the principles of liberalism, which have been com menced by us, will be extended among the European codes of duties.
