Count MoLz said France could make no concessions to England about the affair of " one PRITCHARD." The whole Chamber seemed unanimous, and none could have said what would have been the result had M. GUIZOT an nounced that he would express sincere regret for the treatment of PRITCHARD, and grant him an indemnity —conditions which the French Government now have admitted to be just. When the bad passions of na tions are roused - , the small still voice of wisdom is lost in the turmoil. LOUIS PHILIPPE seems not aware of this indubitable fact , and he is still less aware that all the other nations of Europe regard France as a great volcano in the centre :of civilization, and are prepared to guard themselves against every ex plosion. We are sorry to observe that the apathy of Go vernment touching the improvements and extension of our efficient navy, remains as unmoved as ever ! Neither the menacing aspect of that political tempest which has so lately passed over without bursting upon us, nor the übiquitous activity of France in display ing and exercising her naval resources in every quar ter of the globe, is sufficient to dissipate the official napping of the heads of the Admiralty Department. Never have we been more thorough converts to the opinions of other men than we profess ourselves to be to the doctrine laid down in the House of Commons by Sir CHARLES NAPIER, touching the inevitable in fluence which years will be found, as a general rule, to exercise on the mental as well as the physical energies of even our best men in command. We are convinced that a man may be a Lord of the Admiralty, for instance, without finding any exemption from this common fate. Nor is he more free than any less for tunately distinguished individual of his species from the moral weakness of aged men—to undervalue the intelligence and powers of the present generation as compared with those whereof they were the con temporaries, and remain the survivors. There is a principle of movement stamped on almost all human institutions, however, by some superior power, the mint mark of which cannot be effaced even by the magical " broad arrow" of the QUEEN'S servants. Amongst these institutions, the science of naval tac tics, and therefore of naval armament, is certainly not the least progressive. The naval marine of the United States have long since and memorably demon strated the vast superiority of large frigates with heavy metal and great length of hull, over small men of-war of superior rating, of more guns, but those of inferior calibre, and of a proportionately shorter run from stem to stern. In the disastrous war of 1812 - 14, the costly sacrifices which we were doomed to experience of heroic intrepidity and heroic resolution, of human life and national honour, in noble but fruit less efforts to contend against overwhelming material superiority, are still to be deplored, except in so far as they shall have taught us the salutary lesson that one of ou; first duties in peace is precautionary preparation for the contingency of war. It is very certain that in the struggle of which we speak, the Guerriere was utterly overmatched in weight of metal, tonnage, manning, and every other element of efficiency by the United States ship Constitution, which captured her; that the lioi net was wholly unequal in the same essen tial elements to ti _e Peacock, by which she was taken ; that the Avon, which went down colours flying, if we remember, anti her crew cheering, sunk by the fire of her antagonist, the Wncp, was little more than an armed, but ill-found yacht, by the side of the far bulkier and more powerfully armed Ame rican sloop ;—and so, of other casualties (for more, alas! there were) in that lamentable contest. We do not pause here to balance this shameful account of discomfitures (occasioned by mismanagement, arro- price, and folly, for which we always have thought that the Board of Admiralty of those days, their Se cretary included, richly deserved to be impeached) by dwelling on the brilliant successes that always at tended our flag wherever it was but fairly matched, or even only " almost" fairly, against that of the United States, as in the capture of the Chesapeake, Ame rican frigate, by the British frigate, the Shannon ; of the sloop Argus by the sloop Pelican ; or of the President so-called frigate, by H.M.S. En dymion. Far from wishing invidiously to recur to these hostile conflicts between single ships of the two nations, we particularly desire to recal the fact to the attention of our readers, that our American antago nist was at that day, as in these, most honourably dis- tinguished for his admirable seamanship, his un doubted courage, his enterprising audacity, and the admirable system upon which his navy was manned, armed, and equipped. For it was with a full know ledge of all these facts that the Admiralty in 1812-14 allowed so many of our cruisers, under every con ceivable disparity of force and equipment, to encounter the overwhelming superiority of their American an tagonists. The results of that imbecile and overween ing confidence, though they showed against what hopeless chances 'British valour will always struggle —sometimes reaping death and defeat from the very temerity which at others enables her to pluck victory out of the hands of Fate as it were—did not fail to show that the omissions and errors of defective pre paration cannot be always repaired in time by the bravest efforts of the bravest service in the world. Now the Admiralty of 1844 will too surely follow in the footsteps of their predecessors of 1812, if the public voice do not immediately call them to a more vigilant and vigorous discharge of their most respon sible duties. What is the demonstration with which they are prepared, to prove to Europe and the world at large, that whilst on the one hand this country is neither so wanting in self-respect, neither so diffident of her strength, nor so prodigal of her means, as to com mission large fleets of her men-of-war for no other purposes than those of making descents on obscure coasts of remote seas, deposing olive-coloured princes, or tearing down the newly-acquired flag of a semi- civilized insular monarchy, in order to set up her own, by fraud or violence, in its stead ; or enforcing de mands of apology and pecuniary reparation against the barbarian SULTAN of dominions adjacent to those last usurped by them in Africa ? The demonstration pro duced by 'the exten*ve commissioning of so re spectable a naval squadron as France has dispatched against the forts and coasts of Morocco, and up the Mediterranean, by those detachments of powerful ships of the line, frigates, &c., which she has sent into the seas of China, off the shores of South America, and into the Pacific—by the coincident appearance, in the Yellow Sea, of an American man-of-war with this French force ;—by the display of a formidable Russian navy, the ships of which are appearing so often in the principal harbour and road steds of Europe and of Asia; and by the notorious and admitted inferiority of the scale on which our own navy is at present established, so far as regards the number and the manning of our ships in com mission : this demonstration consists in—what ? In the increase of our Mediterranean fleet in some amount less disproportionate to that of France than one or two to 17 or 19 ? In the replacing at our principal outports and naval harbours the customary protection of formidable guardships, such as first-class men-of war, in a condition capable of a rapid completion of equipment ? No, nothing of the kind. It consists in the putting into commission some dozen of small gun brigs—about the most useless craft which could be contributed for active service in the event of war, or even as a squadron of observation in the case of such further reckless displays on the part of the French navy, as the bombardment of maritime towns belonging to a friendly Power. These brigs, denounced by the most competent naval authorities, are commissioned for the sake of entering volunteer hands, and drafting them to other ships of her MAJESTY'S navy, as they may be required. A correspondent of our's has so recently and so ably de monstrated the futility of the expectations based on this kind of craft (from the unwillingness, among other causes, of men to engage themselves under con ditions that preclude them from knowing beforehand anything of the officers they are to serve under), that we do not enter again into that question. But we ask, what can be the reason that, against the irrefraga policy, and irrefraga ble evidence to the necessity, expediency of increasing both the efficiency and the extent of our navy, the Admiralty remain thus supine as to all useful exedion ; thus mischievously meddling as to the re-establishment of a foolish and ineffective de scription of vessels of war? Is it that Sir ROBER T PEF,L abets the twaddling unreadiness of Sir GEORGE CocKuuuN, in returning to the fatuity of the days of little brigs and half-and-half equipments, in order that he, the Premier, may realise on the year's in come a taking "surplus ?" . We arc _much disposed to teikvP that this mat, ha thc. rant Then!! is a larffe sion, class of silly people, among the supporters of the Premier, who take a surplus of revenue to be the most absolute test that car► be suggested of Ministe rial sagacity and excellence. It is strange that on the very fact of this annual surplus, they do not found a determined and invincible demand for the repeal of that obnoxious tax, the most disgraceful memorial of Sir ROBERT'S Administration, the income-tax. But it is still more strange that, with the Premier, they should look idly on, and permit to be sacrificed to such an object—to the mere personal or official inte rests of the Minister—all present securities, and im mediate preparations for the vindication of, the naval supremacy and the natural independence and dignity of Great Britain ! A Tory Contemporary of this morning, referring to the present troublous aspect of affairs in Ireland, ob serves :—" The impression gains ground among all parties, that the Minister will ere long be driven to the adoption of one of two courses—either to assemble Parliament before the agitation receives any fresh impulse, and to demand such additional powers as the exigencies of the times may require, for the sup pression—root and branch—of a conspiracy which, it would seem that the present laws are incapable of effecting ; or else, by a master-stroke of the concilia tory course of policy, such as that which distinguished the year 1829, at once concede Mr. O'Cosistrix's de mands, or an instalment of them, and trust to the chapter of chances for the future safety of the country. Of the two courses alluded to in the above passage, the first is the one which—although Ministers are likely enough to adopt it, in the event of the Repeal agitation again presenting a formidable front—can only be pursued at the certain risk of ignominious failure. By what new powers of law can Govern ment hope to put an end to the discussion of such a question as that of a Repeal of the Union, which is fast taking a foremost place in the thoughts and feel ings of every Irishman ? They may, to be sure, con trive to put a veto upon monster meetings, and get an obsequious Parliament—for their majority there will do any thing for them—to declare it illegal for Irishmen to assemble publicly in more than certain specified numbers in order to agitate the dreaded question ; but how will this avail them ? Will it stop the popular clamour for Repeal ? Will it not rather give it a tenfold impetus, and make those reckless and desperate, who before were simply active and resolute within the limits of constitutional propriety? Undoubtedly it will. To fan the flame of national discontent, nothing more is needed—as all experience shows—than an indiscreet opposition on the part of authority. Put down in one form, Repeal will be pretty sure to start up in another. Public meet ings, and even public dinners on the subject may be prohibited throughout Ireland ; but are there no other means by which the agitation can be carried on ? Can Ministers stifle the free and bold expression of opinion in the Irish press ? Can they prevent gentle men discussing the momentous question in snug social parties of a dozen or so, at the different reading-rooms ? Can they prevent them talking over it with their de pendents—writing about it in their letters—confirm ing each other in their opinions upon it at their fes tive meetings—and, above all, issuing tracts, pam phlets, and addresses upon it, to be circulated gratis —after the fashion of the Anti-Corn-law appeals— throughout the length and breadth of the sister country ? Can Ministers do any or all of these things ? Impossible. Repeal is a Proteus which the instant you grapple with it in one shape, eludes your grasp, and starts up in another. It is a thought—a feeling—a principle—which you can no more subject to your will by dint of menace or coercion, than you can enchain the free winds of Heaven, or check the en croaching waves of Ocean ! The first, then, of the two courses of policy which, as our Contemporary observes, Ministers have left for their adoption, is clearly useless, if not absolutely dangerous, as tend ing directly to aggravate the very evil which it is its object to diminish. With regard to the second— namely, the conciliatory course—of this far more san guine hopes may be entertained ; for instead of being at variance with justice, it is in accord ance m ith it ; instead of being obnoxious to common sense, it is the necessary result of the operation of this serviceable faculty. To put down the clamour for Repeal—or at least to enfeeble it to such a degree that it can have no further hazardous influence—it is by no means indispensable that Ministers should concede to Irelard'a demand for a Parliament in College-green. Mr. O'CONNELL himself, for all his assertions to the contrary, has not the slightest wish that such a suicidal concession should ever be made—all that is required is, that Government should promptly and cheerfully pay that attention to the just wants and wishes of the sister country, which, as an integral and influential portion of the British empire, no one denies to be her due. Let Ministers do this, and do it in a frank, generous, fearless, and confiding spirit, and from that auspicious moment Re peal will cease to be the demand of a nation, and be come the mere whisper of a faction. Accounts from Madrid of the sth inst. state that the Government had received the official confirmation of peace being established between Spain and Mo rocco. " Yesterday," says the Globo, " Colonel BARRY, belonging to the English Legation, arrived at Madrid. He had come from Tangiers and Gibraltar, and is the bearer of dispatches for the Spanish Go vernment, which, no doubt, contain the final conclu sion of the arrangements. Besides the satisfaction we have mentioned, it appears that the Moorish Go vernment will give a pecuniary indemnity to the family of the Vice-Consul, who has been assassinated." The elections were going on favourably for the Government. The Three per Cents. were done at 27 7-16 at 60 days ; the Fire per Cents. at 19 7-16 at 60 days; and the Floating Debt at 60 at 15 days. After the noise caused by the bombardment of Tan giers and Mogadore has subsided, and Marshal 131J GEAUD has retreated within the French frontier, cer tain politicians on the other side of the Channel begin to see that peace is as far distant as ever, and that much money must be spent and more bombardments take place before the Emperor of MOROCCO is brought to reason. This is the view taken of the French po sition by M. THTERS' journal, and it appears to us perfectly just. "If it were intended," says the Con. stitutionnel, " to strike a really effective blow at the commerce of Morocco, it was Tangiers which it was necessary to occupy rather than Mogadore. Tangiers keeps up with Gibraltar relations which the proximity renders exceedingly active. On one side, Gibraltar is the depository of all the English merchandise des tined for the commerce of the Mediterranean and the coast of Africa ; on the other, Tangiers is the store house of the provisions, without which the garrison of Gibraltar would be obliged to have recourse exclu sively to Spain. In 1841, 104 vessels destined for Mo rocco, or coming from it, entered or left Gibraltar. It is easy to comprehend that the imperial custom returns would have seriously suffered from the occupation of Tangiers. But England is not willing, even tempo rarily, to interrupt her relations; for the success of our arms. We have not, therefore, made use of our right, and the commerce of Tangiers will soon have resumed all its activity. Why, therefore, not have their own troops in: Larache or Rabat, in place of shut ting them up at Mogadore, in an island in front of a town enveloped on all sides by moving sands ? There is only one point really vulnerable in this empire— the town where are deposited the EMPEROR'S trea sures. These excite and appease insurgents, make and unmake sultans. But these are at Mequinez, and Larache and Rabat are the two gates leading there from the sea-side. Rabat and Salee, situated opposite each other on the banks of the same river, are the nests of all Moorish pirates. Larache, situated to the north of these two towns, at the mouth of the Lyxos, collects in its port all the naval force of the empire. The EMPEROR has confided the guard of these two keys of his treasures to the fiercest Islamism. Christians have been kept away with jealous care, and their 'entry by main force into these old sanc tuaries of Mussulman fanaticism would have produced a moral effect very different from the taking of the town of Alogadore, accustomed to the rule of the infi dels. The EMPEROR would not have seen without dread Christians fixed at a little distance from the treasures which he has always been increasing, and which consists, it is said, of considerable sums of money, a quantity of precious jewels, and a mass of gold and silver ingots. Under the perpetual fear of losing the fruit of his labours, the object of his pas the monument of his rei; ABDERRIIAXIAN would perhaps have capitulated. But we have only turned from their ordinary route the EMPEROR'S re venues. We will not take any part of his territory ; we leave him hi treasures; we scarcely impede his commerce ; England is his ally. How will you have him alter his determination ? And yet, even when we should have reduced ABDERRHAMAN to accept our conditions, all the difficulties of putting them into execution would still subsist; the cleverness and po pularity of ABD-EL-KADER ; the half savage indepen dence of the tribes ; the profound divisions which se parate the races, and the want of power of the EM PEROR, would still remain ! It is easy to see how much it is to be feared, from the very faults which have been committed, that we are far removed from peace." But alas I according to another journal, France has not the means to strike a blow. She has neither allies, nor armies, nor fleets. She is the most helpless state in Europe. Hear the evidence on this subject of the Presse, a journal patronised, we believe, by Queen CHRISTINA :-•-• " 1. As to allies, she has none ;"' for, in order to have them, it is not sufficient that it is proclaimed from the tribunes that such is the fact—there must be a com mon end in view and common interests to be attained. Where is there any end, or any interest, common be tween France and Englan , l? Whilst an entente cordiale may exist of the most friendly kind between M. Guizot and Sir Robert Peel, the rivalry which exists between their agents is evinced in every part—inlSpain, in Por tugal, in Greece, in Syris—and it is beyond the power of these Ministers to prevent it. England has for allies Turkey, which holds the keys of the Dardanelles, and Morocco, which sends to England the money which she has received from her at Gibraltar. What are we doing ? After taking possession of Algeria we hold it ; we take cause with Egypt against Turkey; we bombard Tangiers, and we burn Mogadore. At Otaheite our missionaries are driven out by those of England, and one of the latter is in his turn expelled by a captain of one of our cruisers. Such is the conflicting character of our interests which will ever prevent the two counties coming to any un derstanding even on a simple treaty of commerce. " 2. France has no navy, for the maritime superio rity of a state consists less in its vessels of war than its commercial marine, for the latter is the groundwork of the former. In the event, therefore, of a collision be tween France and England, where would be this grand foundation of the former? Confidence in their chief; and an enthusiasm in the cause they support, may turn recruits into heroes ; but although an army be thus formed, sailors cannot be so suddenly raised. No France has no navy. In the event of a war she would not have enongh to protect her mercantile marine, our colonies, and our coasts. One of two things must there fore be chosen. France must either change her allies, or must resign herself to swallow her shame in silence whenever it shall please England to make her feel the weight of her supremacy. "3. France has no army—for an army can only exist on the following conditions :—That its strength should be prudently calculated in proportion to the re sistance it has to overcome ; that the proportions of its arms should be strictly observed and maintained : that it should be so organised that in the event of losing the first battle it should have a formidable reserve, which might renew the contest with some chance of turning defeat into victory. " Where is the army which we could oppose to Europe in the event of a coalition against us ? What would become of the proportion of our arms if we should be compelled to incorporate in our ranks the whole or part of the mobilised National Guards ? Suppose that circumstances should compel the infantry to be doubled, where would horses be found to increase the cavalry in like proportion ? In a word, it is the duty of our Go vernment to have an imposing army to make England respect us. and a powerful army to make ourselves feared on the Continent ; and we have in reality neither the one nor the other. This is a proof of the inconsis tent policy of our Government, and to them we address these reflections." The Globe, M. GuizoT's journal, thus turns into ridicule the wild rumours invented and propagated by the Opposition journals : " The Gazette de France has imagined a very nice argument to prove that it must be true that the Cabinet sent M. d'Aubigny to the Marquesas on the first news of the late events : it is that this report was published in the journals, and never contradicted. How do you like that? The Propayateur de r Aube announces that there is a white bear in the woods of Souleaux ; and, as the Cabinet certainly will not get this news contradicted it must be concluded that the white bear is really in the forest in question. It is by the same kind of logic that several journals present as true a pretended treaty con cluded in three days by Sir Henry Ilardinge between Mehemet Ali and England, and by which the English Government guarantees to the Pacha and his descend ants the government of Egypt, without any power being able to interfere in his affairs. In return, Mehemet Ali has granted power to the English Government to act as it might think proper for the protection of all the Eng lish subjects in that country. In addition, the Pacha consents to allow troops to traverse Egypt, if necessary. Railroads from Suez to Cairo are immediately to be un dertaken. In short, the Pacha is a complete English men.' All we can say is, that if the Pacha of Egypt is a complete Englishman, they who credit such nonsense are complete ninnies. This is an event of immense im portance,' cries the Gazette, ' and it leads to the suppo sition that equivalent advantages have been accorded to Russia. It must not, therefore, be doubted that a treaty between the Czar and England has been effected to ac complish without our knowledge the divisiun of the East, to change the balance of the Powers, and the rank which they respectively hold in the world.' Thus, the Pacha of Egypt is not merely a complete Englishman, he must be also a complete Russian ! Only, since the Gazette pretends that Russia has obtained the same ad vantages from Mehemet Ali, we should like to know where the Russian troops are to go who aro to traverse Egypt." The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers : " Two companies of the 12th regiment of the line, in garrison at Havre, left that place on Monday for Eu, where they are to do duty during his Majesty's residence at the Chateau.

The steam press of Palmer and Clayton has done ample justice to Linton's abilty as a wood engraver in the clear and sharp impression it has produced of this plate. In Ireland this sheet of portraits should command a large sale. FOOT RACE. — yesterday the 120 yards' foot race, between Fred. Smith (better known under the cognomen of the Clapham Phenomenon), and George Weds (the Running Waiter), came off on the Union road, Clapham, in the presence of upwards of three thousand spectators. Smith was about to make his first debut in public. The ground was measured, and Smith ran a sprint, and immediately became the favourite in betting ; at the start they went away at locomotive speed, Wells in the rear. Smith maintained the lead, and came in the win ner, beating his opponent by two yards.

" ~ o `~' ~~~~~ ~~ ~i~~~~~ LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1844. The friends of peace cannot look with any satisfac tion to the present relations between England and France. The Otaheite affair has been patched up for the present, but neither country is pleased with the result, and every one looks with anxiety to the next intelligence from the Pacific. The Protestant and Catholic missionaries never can agree, and one party or the other must be expelled from the islands, now under French protection. It is needless to say which will he driven to the wall. The French have possession of the settlement; they will of course side with Ole Catholics ; and while the English mission aries remain there will be no peace. Never was there a more unfortunate selection for a French co lony than Otaheite. The disputes between France and !Morocco are in .the same unsettled state. The bombardment of two paltry towns will not bend the stubborn spirit of the Moorish4Dopulation, nor make the EMPEROR yield to the demands, probably most exorbitant, of France. Bat of these we have no knowledge. We have to infer, however, that they are exorbitant, from the . facility with which the demands of Spain, a country utterly helpless, have been ceded. They are much htrirer then Spain could have expected ; and when the power of Fr a nce is known, we may safely come 16 the eduplusion that the ultimatum of the French Cabinet is so Afitrageous, that the EMPEROR will rather risk all than yield. What will be the result ? The French forces - must march next spring into the interior, and occupy every town on the coast. BUGEAUD and JOINVILI. & must open a new campaign, destroy English commerce, seize territory on the Straits of Gib ra lti, beard the garrison of that fortress, and thereby excite alarm in England for her Mediter ranean trade and her communications with India. These are fearful, but they are very probable pros pects. If ,England throws obstructions in the way, the Chambers, nay, the whole of France, wou ld make a fierce outcry against her interference; neither the KING nor the Cabinet could control the national movement ; they must be carried with the tide, or swamped in the struggle. Louis PHILIPPE has, by a very excusable wish to see his sons distin guished, though not with his usual prudence, reused a spirit for war; nearly the whole of the • population are prepared for it ; the young generation, who have not experienced the power Englarkl, wish fur another contest, and, confiding too much to the state of Ireland, believe that they will be able to wipe out the defeats which they sus- Nined under the most powerful man that ever ruled Prance. "Perfidious Albion " will be the war-cry. hese are our firm convictions, even on the :nost sober and deliberate view of the present state of Pffairs. It sr49st have st,itcli every reader of journals, that not 4ne public man intgiance justified the conduct of the 4.l.,..Vernraent wheii : it was believed that they would p'y any deference to the delib er ati ons of the ,Crisligh Cabinet, either on the dispute about ,O;biteite or , Morocco.

The Court sat to-day for the purpose of hearing ap plications for bail, of which there were thirteen original, and fourteen adjourned bail cases ; of the latter eight were town, and six country bail. IN RE GEORGE NATHANIEL DAVIS. This insolvent, who was a prisoner in the gaol of Southampton, applied through counsel to be liberated upon bail until the day appointed for the final hearing. He was described first as a carcase butcher in Salisbury, and also officer to the Sheriff of that county, and next as the proprietor of the Steam packet Hotel, Boulogne sur-Mer, and lastly of Southampton. Mr. C ooKE, on behalf of several of the creditors, read several affidavits in opposition to the application, first upon the ground of a fraud, and next because it was a friendly arrest under which the insolvent was confined. It appeared that the insolvent had contracted a large amount of debts in the town of Salisbury, when he sud denly disappeared, and after some time it was found that he had taken the Steam-packet Hotel at Boulogne. After remaining there for a length of time he returned to England and went to Southampton, where he com menced business as a cider merchant and commission agent. In a very short time after his arrival in that town he was arrested, on a judge's warrant, for a very small sum, by a person who had been nearly connected with him, and he had now sought to be admitted to bail. The affidavits stated that one of the persons named as bail called upon the opposing creditor, and requested him to oppose his being taken as , a surety, as he did not like it. Mr. Cooxz said, as it had been proved that the in solvent ran away to France from his creditors, taking whith him a large sum in ready money, also that he was now in custody at the suit of a friend, he trusted the Court would not allow him that privilege which was intended for honest creditors. Mr. Commissioner LAW said this was a case upon which he did not wish to decide without consulting pre cedents upon the subject, and therefore adjourned it for a short time. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) John Flowers, a respectable looking man, was charged before Mr. Jardine, on suspicion of being concerned with other parties, in stealing 100/., the property of Mrs. Harley, the landlady of the King William Tavern, in Ship-yard. The prosecutrix, a widow, wishing to dispose of her house, advertised it for sale. The prisoner applied to her concerning it, and the preliminary arrangements having been made on Monday week last, he called and paid a deposit of 30/. On the following Thursday he called again with a man, who appeared to be a workman, and said he wished to measure the bed-room, as he had some old-fashioned furniture to put in it. She proceeded up stairs with the two, and when they got into the bed-room the prisoner examined the drawers in the room, and the prosecutrix said, " Oh, I intend to take those away with me." The prisoner then said to the other man, " You will want some money, I suppose," and then asked the prosecutrix to give him change fur a 51. She opened the drawer in which her money was kept, and took out a bag contain ing 1001, and gave him the change for the note. They immediately went down stairs, and the prisoner left the house. Having occasion shortly after to go up stairs, the prosecutrix found her room door locked, and the key taken away. On obtaining another key and going into the room, she observed that the drawer in which her money was kept was marked as with a chisel, and on examining she discovered that her money was gone. Information was given to the police, and the prisoner was taken into custody. A lot of new furniture was found in his house, and when he was taken he said, " Oh, it is sure to be a remand," He had been in custody on a charge of felony before. Mr. JARDINE remanded the prisoner for a week. MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.) Two working men, named M ennan and Jones, were charged with being drunk, and whilst in that state furi ously driving a gig along the Edgware-road. Policeman 206 D said he saw the defendants driving a gig along the road, and lashing the poor animal most unmercifully, at nine o'clock last night. They both had hold of the rains, and were quarrelling, and both wanted to drive. He went up to the horse's head and stopped their progress ; and, finding they were intoxicated and incapable of driving, many persons having been nearly run crier, he took them to the station-house and the horse and gig to the green-yard. When he stopped them the horse was rearing about the road, and wculd most likely have darted off, had he not interposed. . . . The defendants said they had drinking, and were very sorry for their conduct. They were fined 20s. each, which they immediately paid. UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Thomas Dunn was charged with committing a violent assault on Timothy M'Carthy, by which he fractured his skull. It appeared that the offence arose out of one of those disgraceful affrays which are of such common occur rence amon;.-,st the lower 'orders of the Irish in the me tropolis. On the preceding night a row commenced in White Hand-alley, a locality peopled chiefly by the Irish, and the complainant, who seems to have interfered in the character of peacemaker, was attacked by the prisoner, who struck him three heavy blows with a poker on the head and frac tured his skull. The whole place was in a state of complete uproar, men, women, and children being en gaged in the affray, which was not put an end to until the police interfered ; and the wounded man was obliged to be conveyed to the hospital, where, on examination, it was discovered that his skull was fractured. Although the injury is of such a serious nature, yet it was pronounced that M'Carthy's life was not ,in danger, and his assailant was held to bail to answer the charge at the sessions. FLANDERS AND HAMBURGH MAILS. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) ST. PETERSBURGH, AUG. 30.—The Emperor has ap pointed the Grand Duke Constantine to the command of the Ulysses brig. His Majesty has also given the insignia of the order of St. Alexandra Newsky to General Sirders, accompanied by a rescript thanking him for his impor tant services in Daghestan. The Leipsic Allgemeine Zeitung des Judenthums pub lishes a singular piece of information from Poland, namely, that the Jews who are included in the levies for the army, are obliged to take an oath by which they bind themselves to remain by their colours, and never to desert, even in case the Messiah should appear. HANOVER, SEPT. 6.—We have received to-day the melancholy intelligence that his Excellency the Minister Baron von Schell had died at his seat, Schetenburg. BRUNSWICK, SEPT. B.—On occasion of the assumption of the title of Highness by our Duke, it is remembered that his father Duke Frederick William was offered at the Congress of Vienna, the rank and title of Grand Duke for the great sacrifices he had made in the cam paign against Franco, and because the house of our Prince is one of the oldest in Germany. The Duke, however, declined it in order not to impose new burdens on the country, but he expressly reserved for himself and his successors the precedence before Mecklenburg and Oldenburg, which took that title. WARSAW, SEPT. I.—The exportation of corn from the kingdom of Poland is prohibited by the Prince-Go vernor till it shall be ascertained that there is sufficient for the home consumption. This measure is the more necessary as the transit is in fact very indifferent, and some landowners will even be obliged to purchase seed corn in the course of the year. BERLIN, SEPT. B.—The King, as was to be expected, has declined in a very gracious manner the great festivi ties with which the city of Berlin proposed to welcome him on his return to his capital. His Majesty is ex pected here on the 13th, and will go on the same day to Sans Souci, and on the 14th to Pillnitz, to meet the Queen, who leaves Ischel to day fur Munich, when she will proceed to Pillnitz.

Since Monday a fair average yuanLity of English Wheat has been received 'up to our market. The show of that article was moderate, while the demand for it was, on the whole steady, at full prices. There was a fair retail inquiry for foreign Wheat, at rates quite equal to those obtained on Monday. No new English Barley at market. Fine fresh foreign was in demand, at full currencies.

In Lambs, the supply of which was toler ably good, a fair business was doing at late rates. Although the supply of Calves was good, the Veal trade was active, and prices were well supported.

The trade in Grain and Flour between the United States and Canada is rapidly on the increase. The last purchase made for the British provinces at Illinois was 4,000 bushels, and 11,000 bushels in the markets of North Carolina and Virginia. The Public Securities have to-day been dull again. The Commissioners have purchased Consols at 994, and the range of prices generally has been 991 to 4 for Money, and 994 to 994 fur Account. There seems an indisposition to operate, and which some ascribe to the uncertainty prevailing as to the future course of events in Ireland. Exchequer Bills are 745. to 765. premium ; and East India Bonds 965. premium. The Com pany have given notice that the interest after next month will be reduced.
