CITY, 7'IVELVE O'CLOCK Our arrivals this morning are, two French, two Ostend, the Dutch and Hamburg mails, and ship-letters from Tri nidad and Ceylon, Jan. 7. Extract of a letter from Madrid, August 6 :—" The disturbances of the 4th, there is little reason to doubt, were fomented by the Administration, to give them a pretext for dissolving the National Guard, and proclaiming martial law. They have thus stolen a march on the Liberals ; but do not be deceived. The convulsion is so far from being over, that it is yet but commencing. It is impossible that the small military force in 'Madrid, under the orders of Quesada, can be sufficient to cope with an infuriated popu lation, mostly well armed. The struggle is but beginning. There is a division amongst the Ministry, and, to crown all, Isturiz is dying. He was attacked by a fever immediately on receiving the intelligence from Cadiz. The Queen is said to be meditating a flight to the French frontier." Extract of a letter from St. Sebastian, August 6 : " We are in stain quo here, and we have had considerable , two Scotch regiments, the 6th and Bth, the forme r sent to Santander with the 2d Irish—half the latter are in the castle, saying that they would not serve any longer.

The Lord Lieutenant's tour seems to have stirred up the entire of the inhabitants into one festive assembly. He arrived from Waterford in Ross on Wednesday, and was received in that ancient borough with every demonstration of popular affection and confidence. It would be impossible to describe, much less enumerate the moving masses of people that met him at every crossway and village, in the course of his progress. After receiving at the Sessions-house of Ross several addresses from the Corporation, people of the town as distinguished from the Corporation, and the inha bitants of many adjacent parishes, he proceeded, about four o'clock to Talbot Hall, the residence of Mr. Tal bot, Member for the borough, where he was met by all the Whig or Liberal gentry of the district, and partook of a very elegant collation prepared for the occasion. From that he proceeded to Castleborough, the seat of Lord Carew, where he was met at dinner by the cele brated Mr. Boyce, of Bannow, and a numerous party of the gentry of the county. The most remarkable occurrence in that day's journey was the presentation of an address from the ancient parish of Adamstown. It was presented by a deputation of gentlemen, con sisting for the most part of different branches of an old Catholic family of the name of Downes, who have been for many years in possession of leasehold interests in the greater part of the lands of that parish. This family, as I am informed, forfeited large fee simple estates in the county, during the reign of the Stewarts, and have, notwithstanding, during all the period of the penal laws, supported an independence both in prin ciple and property almost unprecedented in the history of this country. They sustained themselves under the demi-protection of the laws of the last century, seldom intermingling in public affairs ; and their coming forward on this occasion is a strong proof of the progress of public opinion in favour of the present Government among every shade of Irish politicians. His Excellency Earl Mulgrave was received here yesterday with (to use the phraseology of the country) " a hundred thousand welcomes." A splen did dinner was prepared for him in the public As sembly Room of this town, which was attended by all the respectable Liberals of the county. Lord Carew presided, and the Members for the county and borough of New Ross, with Mr. Boyce, acted as Vice-Presidents. It was altogether one of the finest scenes I ever witnessed. The Chairman introduced the ordinary toasts, with very appropriate observations. The Lord Lieutenant was peculiarly eloquent and ani mated in replying to those toasts which more imme diately concerned himself and his Administration. And Mr. Boyce, on Lord Melbourne and the Minis try being proposed, entered into an exposition of the grounds upon which he openly and unequivocally gave his support to the present Government. He said that he had himself no object to gain be yond the good opinion of the people of the county of Wexford, amongst whom he constantly re sided, and of his tenantry in particular. That for their sakes, as much as to gratify his own curiosity, he had scrupulously examined the conthict of the present Administration since their assumption of office, and that he had found it to correspond with their profes sions during the many years th e y o pp ose d th e procee d. ings of the Tory Administration. For these reasons, and no others, he thought the people of Ireland right in supporting Earl IVlulgrave and his colleagues against the combined efforts of their political enemies. There was no other speech that attracted much attention, if I except a short one from a barrister named Roche, who complimented the Wexfordians on all the proofs of their independence which were manifested during that evening's entertainment by the declarations of Earl Mulgrave and Lord Carew. The greaten hilarity and good humour prevailed throughout the entire company. I could perceive, however, that every one who spoke with a view to as cert,:tin his popularity, was not flatteringly received by the entire assembly. But Earl Mulgrave s popularity prevented any display of dissatisfaction from any quarter. The men of Wexford, or at least a very large portion of them, think and act for themselves.

The RECORDER, the Grand Jury having been sworn, proceeded to address them. He said that the interval which had occurred between the present session and the last had been somewhat longer than usual, in consequence of the Judges having been on their ci rc uit s . O ne o f th e effects of that had en very considerably to increase the number of prisoners for trial. The present list of prisoners exceeded three hundred, and that number would no doubt be increased during the present session to perhaps 50 more. He must therefore anticipate that their labours would be of no ordinary duration ; but notwithstanding that he was in hopes, by their diligence, to be enabled to discharge them in the course of the current week. They were no doubt aware that; by the provisions of the Central Cri minal Court Act, an addition had been made to the juris diction of the Court to the neighbouring counties, and also the jurisdiction lately exercised by the Admiralty had been thrown upon that Court. The Learned Judge then pro ceeded to comment at some length on several of the diffe rent cases in the calendar, particularly adverting to the case of the conspiracy on the part of a brothel keeper, named Mary Jones, and a waggoner, named Matthew Peaks, to seduce and decoy Elizabeth Vale, and Mary Vale, two sisters, living at Ely, and to induce them to become common prostitutes. The Learned Judge said the important question was, whether Jones and Peaks had acted together in concert, or whether Peaks, the wag goner, had himself decoyed, and then brought the girls to Jones. If it should appear that there was a stratagem be tween the two that they would decoy any young women, and that that was done under the representation of being taken to obtain decent employment, and they were de bauched afterwards, that would be a conspiracy, as had been decided many years ago in the case of Lord Gray, reported in the State Trials. Walter Martin, Charles Pester, Joseph Carmichael, Thomas Whitehead, Robert Kendall, and Robert Elliot, were indicted for feloniously conspiring to defraud a Mr. Templar, a pork butcher in the Strand, of his property, to a considerable extent. Mr. PIERCE stated the case to the Jury for the prosecu tion. The Learned Counsel was addressing the Court, and appeared likely to do so for some time, when our Re porter left. On Wednesday morning last, as some labourers were occupied in excavating a portion of land at North Birken head, they discovered, at about a foot below the surface, a human skeleton, lying with the face downwards, embedded in straw. The bones arc in a state of perfect presevation, but every particle of flesh has disappeared. The only vestige of apparel remaming are part of the shoes, to which are appended the rims of a pair of buckles, which appear to have been of plated copper. The most remarkable circumstances are, that while the clothing has mouldered to dust, the straw has under gone but little change, and that vivid marks Gf blood are visi ble on the parts where rested the • neck and arms. The de ceased appears to have been of short stature. It is the opinion of a medical gentleman who has examined the skeleton, that it has been buried between thirty and forty years. An inquest is to be held over the remains, and a rigid investigation has been entered into, with a view, if possible, ref throwing. semi light on the mysterious circumstance.—Liverpool Standard. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 15, 1836. SPAIN PUBLIC MEETING (THIS DAY.) know what they thOtight would be the effect of the Spanish Constitution. He lived at a great distance from the House Of Lords.—(A cry, , "rhe farther the better.") He was not a witness of their proceedings ; he only heard of them. Sometimes the gentlemen of the Press let them know what the Lords were doing.—(Hear, hear.) Sometimes they had occasion to be grateful to them, as for in stance, when they sent them down a gentleman with a white wig and a black apron._(Great laughter.) But there were other things for which they were not so g rateful. They did not see th e reason w h y E ng l and should have the Corporations, and Ireland should be de prived of them altogether.—(Loud cheers.) They did not very well see why the Irish clergy should have the tenth of all the revenue arising from tithes, they should not give one farthing, towards the education of the people. He did not sec the propriety of Dissenters maintaining the places of worship of the Established Church.—(Loud cheers.) But they lived in the provinces, and they had entertained very little respect for the House of Lords.— (Great cheering.) There was a little remnant of respect, but be dared to say, that in any movement by which the peerage was destroyed ; if, by any chance, they were deprived of the great advantage of the House of Lords, he believed that they would submit with the greatest possible Christian resignation.—(Great laughter.) They might shed a few tears—they might cry for a few days, but then they would repress their grief, and at the end of three months, they would forget that they ever bad had the advantage of the House of Lords as a part of the British Constitution. He congratulated them on the events that had occurred in Spain—he congratulated them on the spread of Liberal principles ; he called upon them to congratulate each other that a movement had been made towards liberty, as they might rest assured that a movement in Spain would be followed by a movement in France.—(Tremendous cheering.) They must all wish for another three days—(Great cheering)—nod, however, three days of bloodshed—they wanted a moral three days —a moral movement. Would any man say, that they did not want such a movement in England ?—(Loud cheering.) Looking at the position they Lad been in for the last five years—looking at the measures of reform which had been attempted and frustrated, would any man say, that they did not want a moral movement in England They wanted more Reform—a thorough Radical Reform. (The first Resolution was then put ; and carried una nimously.) Mr. RUTHWEN, M.P. for Kildare, then came forward amid much cheering, to propose the second resolution. When be came into the room, he was totally unprepared to take any part in the proceedings of the day, but being the friend of universal liberty over the whole world, he could not refrain from attending the meeting.—(Cheers.) The cause of Spanish freedom was the cause of Englishmen and the whole world.—(Great cheering.) This was, in his opinion, like the case of our own country, a struggle of parties for power, it was more for individual advance ment than general good. The party of Carlos and the party of the Queen, like the Tories and the Whigs of this country, sought to place themselves on a certain and sure foundation.—(Cheers.) It was for the meeting to say whether the establishment of either of these parties should take place, and was for the advantage and liberty of Spain or the popular rights of that country. He thought it was not. The only thing, in his opinion, that would do good for Spain, was the establishment of the Constitu tion of 1812. He was a Radical, and had been sent to the House for those opinions, and that rising party—the party of the people—would at no very distant day govern and regenerate the country-Lthey would make great Bri tain respected throughout Europe, not for her riches or her possessions, but for the degree of freedom she enjoyed, and the popular rights which she allowed. With thanks for the kindness of his reception, he would conclude with mov ing the 2d resolution. Mr. DUFFEY rose to second the resolution, and he avowed that he had come to the meeting with the purpose of hearing what the Chairman had to say upon the subject, to hear what Mr. Warburton—to hear what Dr. Bowling, Mr. Hector, and other Members had to say upon the point. They however had disappointed them—they kept out of the way, as the matter was not yet certain of success There was mention made in the Resolutions, of the three days of Paris—it was a fact, and a glorious one, that there was not a deputy to be seen in the streets, till there was not an enemy to be seen.—(Cheers.) So it might be with those Hon. Members who were now absent. But it might be that they abstained from attendance because the Govern ment were about to interfere under the pretence of putting down Don Carlos. How did they know but that their Honourable Chairman would be designated as a political Marplot in presiding at such a meeting, and that he would be set down by their liberal Foreign Se cretry, and their -liberal Whig Ministry, as interfering in the infamous plot now hatching against the liberties of the Spanish people.—(Mr. Duffy here read the second re solution.) There was no man who knew anything of history who did not know the gallantry and bravery of the Spanish people ; but they had met among their friends with so many deceivers, who, under pompous names, had deceived and degraded them, be hoped they would not find the scutcheon of Spanish liberties again stained by the Cortes Bonds. He hoped that the stock-jobbers would seek for sound Constitutional principles of liberty. Let them de fend them with their hearts' blood, and let them appeal to .the patriotism of the universal Spanish people, and not to the deceitful and jobbing patriotism of the Roth childs and the Goldschmidts.—(Hear, and cheers.) Look at the people of Greece, who, after two years' strug gling, were now plundered by the stockjobbers, under the especial patronage of my Lord Palmerston.—(Cheers and laughter.) He hoped the Spanish people would not allow themselves thus to be sold, neck and heels. The resolution stated, that 100,000 men had put down the Constitution o f 1812, but 300,000 men would not have done it, if the people were but true to themselves. They had met to ex press their sympathy with the Spanish people, but he hoped they would learn experience from the past, and not commit themselves to the ,care of stockjobber s, who traded upon their patriotism.—(Hear, hear.) A former speaker (Mr. Carpenter) had stated his astonishment at the tone of the public press of that morning— he (Mr. Duffy) was not astonished at it at all, because the men spoke from 'their own instinct, and had not had time to consult their employers. The base press of all classes and denominations was at all times ready and willing to sell themselves to the highest bidder. The press would be crying out shortly, as the liberty Whig chronicle had done to-day, that the Constitution of 1812 ought not to exist. The fact was, that the press was like the House of Lords, playing at trap-and-ball—first throwing one way and then the other.—(Cheer s and laughter.) The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, which was car ried unanimously. Mr. MUnerre moved the third resolution. With refer ence to Spain, he was free to confess that lie had taken but little interest in what was going on in that country. To him it was a matter of the most perfect indifference whether Don Caidos was there as an open despot, or whe ther Isabella was endeavouring to conceal her despotism by the tricks of her government.—(Loud cheers). He had taken the liberty of telling Colonel Evans, when he went out to Spain, that he was going there to very little purpose—(loud cheers ;)—and-facts had turned out as he thought they would—(Continued cheers.) There was no country in the world where greater jealousy existed than in Spain, at feseign interference. Hints had been thrown out that the opinions of the press had changed. He was not much enamoured of the press, but he thought it hard to throw all the blame upon the press.—(Cheers.) Not withstanding all that had been said, he never believed that there was more than five Radical men in the House of Commons, and only two had honoured the meeting with their presence. It was true that the press had changed, but what was the press but a trade ? and when the market was high, their opinions were high—and when low, down it went. He referred to the Reform Bill, and complained that it was defective, or how otherwise. could 300 Tories be returned to the House of Commons ?—(Cheers.) The Reform Bill was good as far as it went, but it was ridiculous to suppose that they must not go.farther,—(Cheers.) He would have accepted the Reform Bill if it only contained Schedule A, but he would never be content till they had obtained Uni versal Suffrage and Vote by Ballot. The people of Spain were setting them an example in this respect ; the Constitution of Spain established universal suffrage—(Loud cheers)—it established triennial Parliaments —(Cheers)—and, above all, _it proved that a country might be great and free, al though it was deprived of all the blessings of a House of Lords.—(Tremenduons cheering.) It was a matter of utter indifference to him which party, Whig or Tory, was in power, the party of the people would, by this example of Spaie, soon arrive at the government of the country. The French lost the benefit of the three days by being deceived ' by the capitalists, who promised that they should have a- Monarch, surrounded with Republican institutions.—(A laugh.) In Spain, they would have no Monarch, but have the pure principles of Democracy as the basis of the Go vernment. It had been said that the Government should not be allowed to send troops to Spain. He would go fur ther, and say, that they ought not to be allowed to give France leave to send them.—(Cheers.) The Hon. Gen tleman concluded by moving the third Resolution. The Resolution was seconded by Mr. VINCENT, and was carried unanimously. Mr. FLANNIGAN proposed the fourth resolution, which was seconded by Mr. PROUT, and carried unanimously. The other resolution was also adoptel A vote of thanks was then proposed to the Chairman, which was received with loud cheers ; after which the Meting separated. The numerow; omnibuses traversing the streets of London and the suburbs are EaidAo realise a daily average re ceipt of about 4!, each. A public meeting took place this day, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, for the purpose of congratulating the Spanish people upon the restoration of their popular Constitution. At.half-past one o'clock, the Chair was taken by THOMPSON, M.P., who was loudly cheered. The CHAIRMAN, as soon as the cheering had subsided, said that they were assembled there for the purpoSe of com municating information to each other, and to those whom they should see when they went forth from that place, upon one of the most important events, and the most interesting to Englishmen, that bad occurred since the celebrated three days of July in France.—(Loud cheers.) He need not tell them that while the French people made that great movement in favour of freedom, of which they had been deprived by that family whom Englishmen were unfortunate enough to assist to restore—(Loud cheers)—at that time Englishmen did did not wait till the struggle was decided to express their opinions.—( Loud cheers.) They did not wait till the business was decided and their interference was of no value, but they boldly, openly, and effectually declared their sentiments. (Loud cheers.) If he were asked who and what classes had so declared themselves, he was afraid he must say that there were not many of the high or rich concerned in it—it was the industrious classes of Englishmen who on that occasion gave decided marks and tokens of their opinions which the Government of that day, less liberal than the one they had at present, was wise enough to adopt. They were all well acquainted with the affairs of Spain ; but, for the benefit of the young, he would recal to their notice the year 1812, when foreign armies had invaded Spain, and carried off the Sovereign of that country. The Liberals of Spain then brought forward that glorious Con stitution which was then adopted by, as the phrase then was, the universal Spanish nation.—(Cheers.) That Con stitution was avowed and acknowledged by the people of Spain, except a minute remnant which had joined the hos tile forces ; and the British Government, by actin.- with th e liberal supporters of th a t C ons ti tut i on , had decidedly . ac knowledged it. They bad fought for it—they had left the bones - of their brethren in a foreign land, in sup porting the Constitution of 1812.—(CheerS.) What had become of it afterwards ? When by the blood and carnage of the Constitutionalists, the rightful Sovereign was restored to his throne, what slid he do? Why, as Sovereigns were apt enough to do, he forgot.(Loud . cheers.) The first thing he did was to refuse the Constitution which had placed him on the throne. He cast into prison the prin cipal supporters of that Constitution, and by that gross act of treachery made himself absolute. That most unfor tunate state of things went on till 1822, when, by the power of Spanish freedom the Constitution was again re stored. And restored it would have been effectually had it not been for the irruption of 100,000 French soldiers, who trampled the Constitution under foot, and restored an absolute Government. And would any man say that the fact of the Constitution having been put down by an army of 100,000 men, was a proof that the Spaniards were not attached to that constitution. There were times which he might easily recall, when, if it had been possible that a foreign army of 100,000 men, well appointed, could have made a landing in England, to assist in establishing an absolute Government, they might not at this moment have been able to meet in that room, to boast of their own glorious Constitution. Would that have been a proof that the Constitution did not live in the hearts of the great ma. jority of the people ?—(Loud cheers.) He would then call their attention to the Constitution of Spain, which was a Liberal one—one founded on the basis of the most free and extensive representation. In feet, it stood on the prin ciple of universal suffrage, and therefore it was they would be told that it could not stand ; but why should it not stand.?—it was a different basis from the Universal Suffrage of Eng land ; for the electors who named the deputies were them selves elected. Another remarkable point in the Consti tution of Spain—it made no provisibn for a House of Lords. (Cheering for sonic minutes.) He did not know whether at that moment Englishmen were so much in love with their own lorldly house—(Great laughter, and cries of "No, no")—as much to regret that the Spanish Constitution did not provide such a nuisance ; they would not consider that an irretrivable error.—(Cheers.) It was very unlikely that England would go to war with Spain to impose upon her a House of Lords. If she could do without it, in Heaven's name let it her continue so. From all the evi dences which he could see around him, there was no strong or marked interest on the part of England to hinder her from having her own way.—(Cheers.) But it was tUr ther remarkable that Spain was not without those advan tages that were declared to be inherent in a House of Lords. He meant the advantages of prudential delay i t s the passing of national measures of utility, for the King had the power of denying his consent to any measures pasSed by the representatives of the people for one, two, or to a thousand sessions. There was therefore due deliberation upon all doubtful questions afforded by the Constitution of 1812. Having thus tried to explain those principles of the Constitution of 1812 that might be novel to some of those present, he would recommend them on their return home to study, and make themselves acquainted with its details. The present meeting bad been called to express in a manly way the joy which Eng lishmen felt at seeing that Constitution which had been so long depressed again on foot.—(Cheers.) It had been said that the meeting was premature. He denied it.—(Cheers.) He would tell the meeting as nearly. as he could the present state of Spain, and for . that purpose he would read from the Morning Herald their ac count of it.—(For which see another part of' our paper.) In a postscript in another letter it was said that Madrid alone held out. The last accounts from Spain was, that the two parties were looking at each other.—(Cheers,) What was to be inferred from that, but that the thing was up with the Government.—(Cheers.) All but one lone place were in favour of the Constitution of 1812. The present was a case of their own—a case in which Great Britain was engaged, and made a party. They did not come there to register the success of the Constitution of 1812, but to do something that might tend to as sist it.—(Loud and continued cheering.) He had no doubt when the day of the Constitution of 1812 arrived, there would be found quite enough of summer flies that would come forward and buz their approbation. Let them share the perils, if any, in supporting the cause of the Con stitution by their sympathy—they would be enabled to hold their heads high over those who ought, and might, have been there—they would, at all events, have the appro bation of their own hearts for having, so far as they were able, done something in support of the public freedom of Spain. The Worthy Chairman sat down amidst loud cheers. Mr. CARPENTER said he had .been most unexpectedly called upon to move the first resolution ; he, however, did so with pleasure, for he was certain that it was not ne cessary for him to urge the sentiments contained in the re solution by any arguments, because they were not only just but expedient at that moment. It was really surprising that after these statements read by the worthy Chairman relative to the universality of the resolution -to embrace the Constitution of 1812, any government other than that of Spain should think of interfering with the people under any plea. It was surprising that France and England should have laid by so long, and allowed the arms of Carlos to gain such advantage, bound as they ware to support the cause, of the Queen. It now became the duty of Englishmen of all classes, to determine that England shall not interfere, under any pretence, to put down the move ment now made to set up the Constitution of 1812. He was gratified and amused to see the trimming that charac terised the rfmarks of some. of the Morning Papers, which a few days ago were strongly opposed to the popular cause. They now called upon the English and French Govern ments to interfere, to put a stop to the progress of the popular cause, although the suggestion was under the guise. of putting an end to the success of the Carlist forces. He congratulated the meeting upon this the first assembling of the British metropolis,. to tender their best support and sym pathy to the Spanish people on this accession of her lilies ties. The present was only the beginning of a series of such meetings, 'for undoubtedly, if the feeling of sympathy which Englishmen are always ready to tender to those who so nobly assert their own rights, they. could not but feel that the establishment of the Constitution of 1812 in Spain would do more to advance the cause of good govern ment, and confer those rights so generally and justly de manded in England than almost any other circumstance. — (Cheers.) He regretted he could not do more justice to the noble sentiments contained in the resolutions which he begged leave to mote.—(Cheers.) Mr. PitENTscE (of Manchester) in seconding the resolution, observed that he was rather surprised that both the mover and seconder of the first resolution had been called in accidentally ; but he supposed the Chairman meant to pay a compliment to men who had suffered in the cause of the liberty of the Press. He (Mr. Prentice) was one of a deputation who had gone from England to Paris, to congratulate the French people upon their newly acquired liberties ; and lie felt much pleasure in now coming forward to congratulate the Spanish people on the great change that was taking place. The first popular movement in Spain would be accompanied by a popular movement in England, for a reform of the House of Lords.—(Great cheering.) He recollected a saying of their Hon. Chairman, that the cause of liberty in any part of the world was the cause of liberty everywhere.—(Loud cheers.) Any movement in Scotland; England, or Ireland would produce an effect in France and Spain, and any popular movement in France or Spain would effect a similar movement in England. They were all linked to gether in the great cause of liberty, mid a movement in any one place would produce a -movement everywhere. He lid not know what the people here in London thought of the House of Lords.--(Great laughter.) He did not !olonel COMMUNICATION WITR Many persons who take an interest in the ques• Lion of a steam communication with India, ap• pear to be dissatisfled that nothing more speci fic has been allowed to transpire of what passed at the interview with Sir John Cain Hobhouse on Thursday last. The deputation who attended, have stated themselves to be satisfied, but have not made known the grounds upon which they are so. It is the more necessary that they should do so, as the parties with whom they have had to deal—that is, the Government and the East India Compamv_are not believed to be by any means well disposed toward,: the undertaking, whatever appearance they. ma y assume out of deference to the wish of the commercial interest, expressed in so very marked and decided The original propositions of the Com mittee were to take the whole of the ar rangments under their own . superintendence, claiming of the Government and the East India Company for a few years a grant of 65,0001. annually, in return for which they would undertake the transmission of the Mediterranean mails and the Go vernment despatches. They were to have a vessel leave Bombay and England on the Ist of every month, and calculated on performing the whole distance in 52 days. Their estimate of the annual cost was 123,0001., and for the difference between that sum and the grant of 65,0001. asked' for, they were willing to trust to the public for their chance of remuneration. Looking to the character of the merchants engaged in this under taking, there could be littl e d ou b t o f i ts b e i ng carr i e d successfully through, and taking the project in all its parts, there has never yet any been submitted so prac ticable as this. The gentlemen who attended the de putation gave out that the result was satisfactory, and that the communication with India by steam is sure to be carried into effect in one way or other. If their owe proposition had been acceded to, they would of course have said so, and therefore every one infers from their silence that it has not. The inference is almost equally strong that it has been met by some counter proposition on the part of the Board of Control ; and they ought, certainly, to have made known what it was. The Government and the East India Company have each a plan of their own —the first by the Euphrates, the last by the Cape of Good Hope ; but it may be truly 'said of both, that no practical man has any confidence in the success of either ; and, therefore, if the Committee have allowed themselves to be diverted from their own object, by en gagements that one of th ese s h a ll b e su b st i tute d for it and carried into effect, they will greatly disappoint all those whom they have undertaken to represent in this important matter. What actually passed should be made known.—Morning- Paper. a manner. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. There was last week a good arrival of Wheat and Flour, and moderate quantities of other articles. Throughout the week the trade for all Grain was dull, and lower for Wheat. This morning there was a fair fresh supply of Wheat, includ ing about 500 quarters of new, of various qualities, but evi dently prematurely harvested, and the millers were indisposed to purchase them except at low prices. Old Wheat of fine quality sold at Is. per quarter abatement from last Monday's terms, and other qualities were dull, as the weather has been fine for harvest operations. Barley for grinding is rather lower. Beans are unaltered. Peas maintain last week's rates. Oats find a moderate demand at the terms of this day sc'nnight. A parcel of fine new Lincolnshire Pollards, 431b5., sold at 275. In the Flour trade, the late dullness continues, and ship parcels are rather lower. mum ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, fled (old) —5. —s.

It has been a long, a tedious, and fatiguing Session ; but this would not be a matter of consideration with the Members, if the salu tary and much-desired measures passed by the House of Com mons had not been defeated in the House of Peers. France is now preparing a reinforcement of be tween 23,000 and 30,000 men to the French Legion in Spain. This levy Kill speedily cross the Pyrenees, should there he no change of circumstances to render their assistance unne cessary. It i 3 intended that General Bugeaud shall command this force. Friday last was Old Lammas Day, which is said to have been so called because anciently those who held lands of . the see of York were by their tenure then to bring a lamb alive into the church at high mass. Some authors derive it "rom a Saxon word, signifing loaf-mass, or bread-mass, be cause it was customary on that day to bring an offering of bread made of new wheat. ALLEGED JEWEL ROBBERIES. A :tatement of extensive robberies, under most m,,- • teriou; circumstances, having been committed at the houses of the Portuguese Ambassador, Col. Barron, and Mr. Townsend, Nos. 55; -56, and 57, Baker-stree, Portman-square, having appeared in. several of the pape:s of Saturday, we have, ou is Triry into the cir cums:ances, ascertained that the report- is rather exag gerated, the property supposed to have been stolen being of comparatively trivial value. All that has been taken from the residence of the Portuguese Ambassador are the following articles :—A bunch of gold seals, a gold pencil- case, a gold having a light-green stone crest, a v mulberry tree, with the order of Christ, a gold and turquoise hoop ring, a gold and cornelian - seal, having the initials " C. P. M.," above a mulberry tree, and a common seal, on a dark purple glasi hoop, with th e following motto—" Who the devil ian this be for ?" From the house of Colonel Barron was taken— three silver covers belongin7 to it tea caddy, one gold snake ring, four or 6;e gold' seals, one of them having on it a bird cage, and'lhother a French motto ; a cut glass smelling bottle, with a patent top ; a gold thimble, and three sovereigns, and a half ditto. The property taken from the house of Mr. Townsend, is, if' possible, of still less value, being only four silver tea-spoons,. crest a griffin ; two silver thimbles, two cruet tops, two Opera glasses, a carved figure of a Magdalen, with a glass shade over it, and twenty-five shillings in silver. No light has as yet been throxn on the circumstances under which the property has been removed, but it is believed that none of the thieves termed " family men" have been concerned in the robberies.—Observer. EXECUTION of BUCKIN-HAIVI JOE, THE MURDERER OF MR. MAY. The 11 7 estern Times gives a long account of the execu tion of this culprit, which appears to have created a great sensation in Devonshire. Oliver died with grezt firmness, and while on the scaffold declared that he alone was guilty, and that his companion was innocent. The Western Times • says : When the prisoner was waiting to he pinioned the last thing he did before his arms were bound was to pull out of his pocket a red handkerchief, which he held in his right hand, and continued to do so or. the platform till the drop fell. As soon as he arrived outside we have heard that several women of the same class in life as the witness Harris, having the appearance of thieves' associates, watched him with great anxiety, and on seeing that he held the red handkerchief, one of them exclaimed, at the same time, striking her hands together, " True to the last! by G— he dies game !" We have been informed that the red handkerchief is the game-flag, and that when a thief dies with this in his hand, it is a signal that he has made no confession. that will implicate any one but him self. It is said that some spy who can safely appear is always deputed to attend the execution, in order to see whether the game-flag has been displayed, and that the felon has made his exit with this symbolic renewal of his oath of fidelity to the secrets and crimes of his associates. It has been remarked also that when he turned round to confess in the dock, and commenced his remarkkble declaration— " It's all over friend, but you are not the man," &e. he had taken out this identical red handkerchief, and coiled it round his hand. Our informant, who has been much in the ways of thieves, states that it is a sacred symbol with them, and was on the occasion last mentioned used, as an assurance and consolation to the spies in the gallery of the court that it was "all right." TIIE STAR CHAMBER.—The materials forming the interior of the old Star Chamber in the ancient Palace of Westminster were at the recent sale purchased by the proprietor of the Leasowes Hotel, on the Cheshire coast, where, having been arranged into an apartment, it forms no in considerable object of attraction to antiquarian visitors. Lady Byron and her daughter Ada King, are on a visit to the Earl and Counte-is of Athlone. The Prince of Oldenherg (nephew of the Emperor of Russia) has deferred his departure from England until Wednesday next, when he will embark for Rotterdam or Hamburgh. The young Prince and suite returned to the Clarendon yesterday, from a tour of the watering places along the coasts of Sussex and Hants. His Highness paid a short visit to the Duke of Richmond's splendid mansion at Good. wood, and dined with his Grace there. It appears from the lists of Parliamentary electors for the borough of Liverpool, that the total number this year is 10,600, being an increase of 1,132 upon the list of last year. The number on this year's list is made up as follows: Township of Everton, 502 ; West Derby, 411 ; Kirkda!e, 172 ; Toxteth Park, 1,016 ; Liverpool, 8,099. The number of persons registered, or claiming to be registered on the county for the township of Liverpool, is 1,858, b2inz an in crease of 381 on the lilt of latt year. The accounts from the North state, that the grouse is abundant, and in fine condition. Liverpool has been crowded during the week with sportsmen, and all the hotels have been necessarily full. From Wales and from Ireland they arrive by steam, the prices of conveyance being extremely moderate, and the vessels furnishing the most excellent accom modation. From the midland and western counties parties come to Liverpool to take the steamer to Glasgow ; by this mode they save money and a great deal of time. In fact, at this moment Liverpool is a great sporting " half-way house" between England, Ireland, Wales, and the Highlands of Scotland. A WOMAN NEARLY MURDERED BY HER HUSBAND.—Yesterday evening about six o'clock the neigh bourhood of Gee's -court, Oxford -street, was thrown into the greatest consternation and excitement, hi consequence of cries of murder proceeding from the house No. 6. Several persons immediately hastened to the spot, and immediately after police constable Langan D 137, who s entering the house, was shown the lifeless body of a female far advanced in pregnancy lying at the bottom of the stairs deluged in blood, her head and breasts dreadfully mangled, and was told that she had beets inhumanly treated by her husband, a costertnonger of the name of Kirby, living on the second flocr front-room, who having ' so brutally used her in his own apartment, finished his butchery by kicking her down stairs. The policeman was at first per suaded not to enter the room, as, from the well known violent character of the monster, he might meet with a similar fate ; lie, however, nothing daunted, accompanied by a brother con stable, proceeded up stairs, and on entering the room, which was not fastened, beheld the husband on the bed, his bands stained with the blood of his victim, and the floor, on which lay a poker and pair of tongs, much bent, also covered with blood. Langan spoke to him in the mildest manner, asking him-to go with him, in reply to which he said, " I'm willing." Superintendent Lincoln and a body of his men having by this time arrived, the prisoner, a ruffianly -looking fellow about thirty-five years of age, was convoyed under a strong escort to the station-liouSe, Maryiebone-lane, where, in answer to a question as to what he had to say, he replied, " My wife will tell yme " In the meantime, N'lr. Clark, surgeon of Alaryle bone, was sent for to the house, and advised the woman's im mediate removal to Middlesex Hospital, whither she was in stantly ceureyed ; where, on enquiry at eleven o'clock, it was expected every moment would be her last, as, in addition to the above violence, it was discovered that her windpipe was nearly bitten through. No doubt existed that death would end her suff7rings before the morning. THE HA ItliEsT.—The recent fine wcatl2r has ma terially improved the prospects of the farmer with regard to the coming harvest, and has in some degree checked the ten dency of prices to advance, in consequence of the reported failure of the American crops. In the southern parts of Yorkshire, the farmers are busily preparing for puttinng iu the sickle. The Tories of Southampton have been for same pact endeavoui ing to get np a Tory dinner, for the purpose of inviting Sir Robert Peel to partake of the same, but their progress has been very slow. Sir Robert Peel will remain at Norris Castle, Isle of Wight, till. September, having token if about a fortnight since for two months.

During the present month the cheap travelling from the Thames to Paris has caused that city to be visted by an unprecedented number of Englishmen of all grades, thousands of whom return after a sojourn there of two or three days ; but whose places are soon filled by others. • From the same cause, that of che , p travelling, there has been a great influx of fo reigners into this capital for some weeks past. The Marchioness of Lansdowne and Lady Louisa Fitzmaurice arrived express from Germany, in consequence of the distressing intelligence of the alarming indisposition of the F,arl of Kerry. The Marchioness will accompany his Lord -hip and his Countess to Lisbon for the improvement of his 'lealth. It ens intended for the party to set off this day if the Earl had been well enough to be removed. The answer to the ,umerous inquiries r.t Lansdowne [louse was, that the Earl was very little better. rr, swallows are now be ,, innin , to c ongregate on those parts of the coast from which they will soon emigrate, Shen thoseinsects get scarce on which they feast in this country, in search of which they proceed, directed by insti nc t to Africa, and other distant placcs, Own: from their t apid Sight they arrive in a few dais.
