Earl STANHOPE announced that he should this day present several petitions to the Leeds in favour of Universal Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, &c., and call their iLordships' attention to those subjects. The Earl of HADDINGTON, with that true spirit of Tory meddling, which was formerly indulged in framing laws to instruct people in the art of making beer, glass, whiskey, &c. &c., made a formidable inquiry of the LORD CHANCELLOR, touching two men who had got tipsy, and had enticed a third to join them in their carouse, and so he forgot that he had to vote at an election for the county of Ross, in Scotland. The Noble Earl wished to know whether the Lotus CHANCELLOR had $ made inquiries into that important and solemn subject, 1 and said he could not help thinking that these whiskey drinkers should net be appointed to the Commission of the Peace, The Noble Earl would, we suppose, have only tes-totallers receive that honour, which would pro bal.4 cashier a considerable number of Peers. Very properly did the LORD CHANCELLOR rebuke the trifler, by saying that his numerous and onerous duties pre cluded him from looking into the details of such cases, which the Earl of HADDINGTON probably regards as of snore importance than causes in Chancery. It is not one of the least evils of the present distribution of pro perty—which gives such masses of wealth to one man and dooms so many to want—that the rich are ail so idle, and, having no urgent and imperative duties to per form, being under no necessity to make themselves useful to others, for the want of occupations, and to get rid of their own weariness, perpetually interfere with busy men. The Earl of HADDINGTON and his important inquiries of the LORD CHANCELLOR about two drouthy countrymen of his, is a case in point. The poor might forgive, though they envied, the rich ; but tha trifling idlers who, as law makers and law administerers, make experiments on the humbler classes, in order to get rid of their own weariness, are altogether intolerable. How much misery would society , be spared if all the Lords had to earn their daily bread ! The discussion which ensued about the Beer Bill, is an illustration of the same truth. At length, however, a considerable number of the Peers seem awakened to the mischief they have effected, and are likely to effect ; for while one party reprobated the beer-shops, which their former legislation called into existence, the other party reprobated the Bill which is to put an end to these. Some Lords evinced a little repugnance at destroying the capital of 40,000 beer-sellers, and consigning their families to ruin, as we have seen a youthful gardener feel some repugnance at aeniiiilating a lerge nest or cater pillars, but who, nevertheless, thought it his duty to get rid of the vermin. So the Lords treat the beer-sellers. And, after a longer debate on such a subject than usual, read the Bi:1 a tVel time. Viscount MELBOURNE, we are happy to see, opposed the Bill, but he had not power to stop it. He stated, indeed that the House of Com mons would not pass it, perhaps would not receive it ; but their Lordships proceeded with what must, in that case be a useless piece of legislation. They divided, but the third reading was carried by 36 to 19. It was not passed, the Marquis of SALISBURY having several amendments to propose, which are to be discussed on Monday next. The House of Commons, besides receiving petitions, was chiefly occupied with the question of pri vileges involved in the case of Stockdale v. Hansard, which called forth much of the legal talent of the House, and produced, as might be expected, a dry and unin teresting debate. It was begun by Lord ions RUSSELL, who moved two resolutions, the first of which went to pledge the House .to take no further steps in the present case, ex cept to pay the expense, the other of which went to maintain the privilege, now brought into question, in future. This course was censured by Dr. Lusts isioeoe, as sacrificing the privileges of the House, and by Si r R OBERT INGLIS as not frankly enough coniessin,ss an error, and ad:nitting the superiority of the Courts. It was opposed by Mr. WAR BURTON, who moved an amendment to resist the payment of the sum awar d e d as d am ages, and to warn t he Sheriff he was rot to enforce it, by Mr. HIINIE, the Arr oese eyst-dENEnAL, Mr. Sergeant WILDE, etc. It w E as • s le ,G pported by Sir R. P EEL , M r . PEMBERToN, Sir wa sls DEN, etc. Aft er a protracted debate the first resolutio n . t carried a ga i ns t 14 p 1r. I ' VertrueToe's amend ment, by 1 166. On the second resolution the House also divided, and it was supported by 133 to SG.

We think our Correspondent who subscribes himself " A Cockney," and also gives his name and address, complains without reason of the Croydon Railway Company. The advertisements point out p - eciselv where the Norwood station is, and one who has bee❑ in the habit for twenty years of visiting the place where the gipsies congregate, ought to know something about the Jolly Sailors. We cannot find room for the letter of " Ocellus," but if we could, we are afraid it would not reform either the Rshoi) of Exeter or the Bishop of London. • e 7 --, • .i',-4 - - ... . .•,., '..--, ... ra id ", _ .,4 A 1)"..." .- .

The House of Commons and the Courts of Law are at issue, and really contending for supremacy. It is a dispute be twixt law and privilege, and as the people gene rally prefer the former to the latter, as, in fact, they venerate the one while they dread the other, the supremacy of the law must in the end be acknow ledged. Of the two parties in the House, excluding Sir ROBERT INGLIS, one seems as zealous to assert the privileges of the House as the other. Sir ROBERT PEEL, who supported Lord JOHN RUSSELL, was reminded by Mr. HOME of his having on a former occasion made a speech strongly advocating the privilege ; the Right Hon. Baronet admitted the fact, and grounded his pre sent conduct on the fact that the House had for merly overruled his wish, and ordered the ATTOR NEY-GENERAL to plead before the Court. The House had thereby acknowledged the . power of the Court ; it had applied to it for a decision, which the Commons must not question because it was adverse, when the Commons would have profited by it had it been favourable. He was still for maintaining the pri vilege generally, but for conceding in this particular case, because the House of Commons had pleaded, and so acknowledged the supremacy of the Court. The party that contended for the privilege, and wished the Sheriff to be at once resisted, dwelt much on the fact that this privilege was no personal immunity. It was necessary for the instruction of the public, and was exercised exclusively for their benefit. It was impossible to have a case more favour able to the House of Commons than the present to try the question, and all the arguments used against now estopping the Sheriff would equally apply to any case on which the House of Commons might be disposed hereafter to rest it. We are inclined to think the latter had rather the best of the argument, in reference to the present and future conduct of the House ; but we do not think eith er p ar ty caug ht th e mer it s , exac tly, of theimportant question at issue. There is no difference of opinion as to its bring in dispensably necessary for the House of Commons, the great inquest of the nation, to have the right to inquire into every part of the State, nor any difference as to its right to print, for the use of its own Members, all the information it may require or gather. But Lord DENMAN holds that this privilege of printing does not extend beyond the Members of the House; it is to en able them to perform their functions; if a man cease to be a Member lie must burn his parliamentary papers, which contain libellous matter ; and the House is not privileged to print or publish anything beyond its own Members. That, Lord DENMAN and the Court says, is the law ; the Commons admit that Lord DENMAN and the Court are the authorised expounders of the law ; the Commons always defer to them ; the Com mons admit, too, that law is above privilege, for the Commons would never dream of placing privilege in opposition to statute law ; thus the Commons, admitting the supremacy of the law, and admitting the Court of Queen's Bench to be the authorised expounder of the law, must, it is plain, submit to the law. But then comes the question, why this privilege of the Commons which is indispensable to the performance of the duties of the House, should not be clothed with the superior at tributes of law. For the House of Commons to act and to operate it must be elected, and the whole matter of the elections is prescribed by law. Why should not the privilege of printing papers be, like the elections, consti tuted the law of the land, and then the Judges, instead of being in a conflict with the House of Commons, would obey and enforce the law in its favour ? The Legislature, including the . House of Commons, is in fault, in no t h av i ng given the privileges which are essential to the duties of the House of Commons the force and attributes of law. But it is said it is a sacrifice of dignity in the House of Commons to combine with the other branch of the Legislature in making such a law. It must have the power of declaring its own privileges, which means that the conjoint Legislature is not fit to make laws, and that the same House of Commons, which, on general principle, insists on the supremacy of law, also insists on the supremacy of privilege, which is a gross and palpable absurdity. We have no doubt, therefore, that the House of Commons is wrong, though it is very likely that the Judges have strained the law to get power to the utmost. We think so, because in other and less important cases they acknowledge with great readiness what are called privileged commu nications, which they might have acknowledged thin to be without sacrificing their dignity, and without giving a triumph to a too well known individual over the Commons of England. On the whole we are glad to see this important case certainly argued without much party spirit, and parti cularly glad to see that Tories, as well as Whigs and Radicals, profess a great desire to consult public opinion, and carry it with the llouse in enforcing its privilege. As long as so much moderation and such deference guide the decision of the House, though it may in the first instance give up something to the supremacy of the law, it will in the long run lose nothing by the contest. After this question was disposed of the Jamaica Bill was postponed till Wednesday. The Winthor Sta bles Bill was read a third time and passed, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. obtained leave to bring in a Bill to improve the navigation of the Shannon. The House sat till nearly Two o'Clock. All the Tory journals throughout the country echo and repeat an unfortunate and incorrect as sertion, made a few days ago by a Ministerial Contemporary, to the effect that the country is without a Government. Such piteous wailings as the Tories utter over the lost honour and degradation of the country, are enough to melt the hardest heart. A fond mother weeping for her children, " and will not be comforted, because they are not," cannot send forth more piercing shrieks than do the broken-hearted, patriotic Tories. We fancy,:as we read their doleful lamentations, that we also hear the wild cry of revolution ; that it is proclaimed aloud that the army has turned out against the Duke of WELLINGTON, and frater nized with the Chartists ; that the Judges have shut up their Courts ; that the administration of the law is suspended ; that the tax-gatherer has thrown up his books ; that the Custom-house officers have ceased to visit ships which come and go, if any living being has the courage to come and go in them, unmolested ; that the Palace is no longer surrounded with guards, and that her Majesty has neither a file of Hussars, nor a train of courtiers to defend her. All this, however, is mere fancy, for though there be no Government, the affairs of the Government at home and abroad, the collection of re venue, and the payment of salaries, the due ordering, of the army and navy, the due administration of jus tice both civil and criminal—both in Westmnister Hall and in the Old Bailey, are all carried on just as before; •and if we have no Government, all its functions are at least continued with a wonderful vitality. NV hat our Contemporary, however, meant, and it is a pity he has never defined his meaning, was that the present Government is powerless to make laws. It is in a minority in the House of Lords, it is in a bare majority in the House of Commons, and is impo tent therefore to legislate. This may be curious and anomalous, but the Executive Government, ex cept this influence over the Legislature, is as power ful as ever it was. There may be some persons indeed, looking at the present encumbered state of the Statute-book, who regard this condition of the Government as not an evil. There are others looking at the discrepancy between the Statute-book and society, between the laws and public opinion, between the distribution of political power on the one hand, and of physical and moral power on the other, who think the impos sibility of moving the Legislature the worst of all possible conditions, except that of impelling it in a Tory direction. We have long joined with all our Liberal friends in urging the Government to attempt to influence the Legislature in one direction, and overcome its immobility. Like them, borrowing our notion of the functions of Government apparently from what it performed in Tory times, when a borough-mongering House of Com mons, a Tory House of Peers, and a Mi nistry, were all only different names for the same agglomeration of political power, we have regarded the Administration as having for its chief business to make good laws, and to repeal bad ones. For that mainly, in common with other Reformers, we preferred one Administration to another, and we have continually required that object at the hands of the Whigs. We now see, however, from time condition of political parties, that we must give up that object ; that the Ministers have no power over the Legislature, and in this sense there is no Government. If the present Ministers are to be preferred to the Tories, it must be because they administer the laws more to the satisfaction of the country, or because their possession of office prevents the bigotted and savage Tories from using political power, as here tofore, to crush the people. The latter seems the principal object ; and the late debate on Education having again brought out all the latent and inherent qualities of the Tories, who are untamed and un altered, as ferocious as ever in their advocacy of ignorance—as bigoted as ever in their adhesion to their own exclusive creed, we are more sensible than we were before of the advantage to the coun a them out of office. The plain f ac t s try of keepin g of the case, then, are, that while the Government is as strong as ever it was to administer the laws THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1539. it is nearly powerless to alter them. There are, in truth, no means of effecting alteration ; and this statu quo of the laws is called' by the Tories the predominancy of Conservatism. We should join in their approbation of this, if, while the laws were unaltered, society were standing still. There is undoubtedly an example in China of a people so regulated and re strained—se bound down and hemmed in on all sides by laws, that they move not, and society moves not, or so slowly that the motion is scarcely per ceptible ; but ours is not such a society. Large and ever growing branches of it, every new trade, every new art, every new town or county population, every budding opinion, every ma turing science, carries society beyond the existing regulations and statutes, and makes the predominancy of Conservatism, as above explained —the impossibility of moving the Legislature in a right direction—a serious evil at present, while it is certain to be the parent of great calamities. The Ministers appear to be of this way of thinking, for they have introduced a great number of useful mea sures, which they have been obliged to give up, and have made many valuable attempts, which they have been obligel to forego. For these last two or three years they have succeeded in passing very few of the measures they have proposed, and the pre dominancy of Conservatismhas caused an'e ver-widen ing discrepancy between the statutes and the con dition of society, between the state of the law and the state of our manners and opinions, between the distribution of political and of physical power. This is the triumph of Conservatism, but it is the herald of revolution. It gratifies the selfish arro gance of the priests and the Tories, but it is pre paring the way for the overthrow of the Constitu tion and the ruin of the State. To have no Go vernment, in the sense of there being no will and no power to improve the laws, which has been brought about by the exertions of the Tories, though they already weep over their own victory, threatens, we admit, great calamities for the country. To-day every Liberal Member will be in his place in the House of Commons to support Mr. GRom's motion for leave to bring in a Bill to establish the Ballot. We have not expatiated on what has of late formed a theme for much con gratulation to the Whig Journals, and for much mockery to the Tory Journals, namely the making the Ballot an open question. We shall wait to see the effects of the question being made an open one on the Votes before we shall consider it a theme for much praise. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, we preSume, cannot go from his recently recorded opinions, and we shall not have his vote. Now we are afraid that several other gentlemen who have voted against the Ballot, though they have neither spoken nor written against it, may think it inconsistent with their former conduct to vote at present in its favour. They have been so long com pelled to go in one direction, that they will, per haps, from the mere force of habit, keep in the same track. Should such be the case, the gain on the side of the Ballot will not be much. We will hope, however, for the best. The constituencies in general are eager to have the Ballot ; on them it would confer great advantages ; and many Representatives, what ever may be their own opinions, must vote in obe dience to the wishes of their constituencies. The only reason why the Ballot should be a party ques tion is, because one party gains and the other loses by corruption and intimidation. We can easily conceive that many honest politicians on both sides may not approve of the Ballot ; but if a great party make resistance to it a watchword—if the Tories shall, almost to a man, vote against it, we may be quite sure that they gain by corruption and intimi dation, and desire, therefore, to keep the means of corrupting and intimidating in their hands. New York Papers to the 26th ult., inclusive, have been received by the American ship Silvio de Grasse, bound to Havre, which touched at Falmouth to land passengers on Sunday evening. The Silvie sailed from New York on the 26th, and made the pessage in twenty one days. From the lateness of the hour at which these Papers have reached us, we can only make room for the following extracts. We have observed, how ever, that the contents of the Journals appear to be of no political interest : ( From the New York Morning Herald, May 25.) Canada is in a bad way. The peaceable are fast leaving the colony, and coming to the United States. Sir George Arthur is returning to England, and the whole province seems to have lost their senses. Their last outrage was on a United States vessel, that touched at Brockville. The 16,000 British regulars can hardly keep them in order. FROM TEXAS. The Colombia steam packet, Captain Windle, arrived last night, in thirty-six hours from Galveston, brings dates from that place to the 12th. TIIE FRENCH FLEET. —The Galveston Gazette of the 10th inst. has the following :—The French frigate Nereid, 64 guns, the steamship Phaeton, and the Crusader, an 18-gun b:ig, arrived on Tuesday, and are now (Tuesday evening) lying off this pert. They are a part of the blockading squadron from Vera Cruz, and brought up Admiral Baudin, who is now at Houston, having lauded at Velasco, and gone to the capital by land. Salutes have been exchanged between these vessels, and the Texian steam-ship Z walla, the fort, and Navy-yard. The Zavalla and the steam-packet New York have been alongside the Phaeton and exchanged friendly salutations with her officers. The President, among others, has been on board. " The Galrcstonian contains various particulars of the arrival of the rare visitants. The Nereid, in entering the port, got aground, and was towed off by the Zavalla. The commander of the Phaeton had been on board the Texian steam-ship, and expressed himself highly pleased with the vessel and her arrangements. Formal visits had also been exchanged between the officers of the Nereid and the Zavalla. President Lamer arrived in Galveston on the 7th, and de parted the same day on his return to Houston, through cour tesy to Admiral Baudin, who had gone to the latter city.— New York Evening Post, May 23. MONEY MARKET, FRIDAY, MAY 24, 6 P.M. There has been a fair business done in sterling ex change to-day ; some of the leading drawers ask 10 per cent., but sales have generally been made at 91 to 01 per cent., the United States Bank drawing at the former rate. The English news which reached us yesterday, although presenting no material change from the last advices, has been used by the bears at the Stock Exchange to produca a fall. It will, there fore, be perceived that small amounts only have been sold at receding prices. Bank of Commerce fell off per cent. ; Delaware and Hudson, + per cent. ; Farmers' Trust, per cent. ; Mohawk, per cent. ; Paterson, per cent. ; Stonington, I . + per cent. ; Harlem, 1 : 1 ,- per cent. ; but little is doing in Wail -street generally. Silver continues to command a premium, from its comparative scarcity, although gold is plenty. The former metal con tinues to arrive at New Orleans from Mexico in sums of various amounts. The schooner Watchman arrived here on the 16th from Matamoras with 21.587 dollars in specie to different firms. Iu domestic exchange we notice no material difference in rates since the last week. Except the Oriental question, there is no subject of any interest discussed in the Paris journals of Sunday• All the miscellaneous news they contain are included in the annexed extracts : M. Duchatel, the Minister of the Interior, has presented to the Chamber of Deputies a project of law for purchasing M. Daguerre's discoveries (Diorama), by the aid of con centrated rats of light, of copying drawings, &c., so that the objects preserve mathematically their form in the smallest details. M. Daguerre is to receive an annual pen sion of 6,000 f., and his partner, M. Nicpce, jun., 4 000 f. ; half of which pensionl are to go to their wives should they survive their husbands. M. Daguerre communicates to the Government his plan. M. Emmanuel de Grouchy, the French Charge d'Affaires to the Sardinian Court, has died at Turin, to which place the Marquis de Rumigny has departed, to resume his post as Ambassador, although it had been ru moured that he was to succeed M. de Ferenzac, the French Ambas2ader in Madrid. Baron Lacour, Marechal-de- Camp and Commandant of the Legion of Honour, has just died in Paris. MALTA, JUNE 5. —The Italian States have just adopted a measure which indicates their hatred of the liberty of the press ; they have prohited the importation of all the Mal tese journals, which they had hitherto admitted, and yet it is observed that the tone of these journals has hitherto been very moderate. " You will soon see Clot Bey, whose time of quarantine will be ended on the 12th of this month, and he will certainly sail for Marseilles on the 16th. His health has been much better since he left Egypt. He has boen visited in the Lazaretto by several persons distin guished by their learning and their rank, and he will cer tainly be well received when he lands at Malta. The English fleet was Malta on the 3d June. Admiral Stop ford was induced to sail on the following day with five ships of the line and two frigates, but it was for the coast of Sicily. off which some of their ships of the line had lately been on a cruise, in the course of which, having anchored at Ca tania and Syracuse, they had met with a reception for which they were indebted chiefly t o th e c i rcumstance t h at t h e English flag reminded the people of the constitution of 1812.

On the second of this month, in the morning, a battalion of the 54th Regiment, on its march from Mergieres to Wessenburg, was overtaken between Mouzon and Stenay by so violent a storm, with su c h t orren t s o f ra i n , th a t f or some minutes it could not advance a step. Several claps of thunder were heard, and the lightning appears to have struck at the same time all the eight companies of which the battalion was composed. Nearly 200 men were thrown down, and when they rose the blood issued from the mouth, nose, and ears ; an insufferable sulphureous stench rendered their situation still more distressing ; however, only two men, a grenadier and a voltigeur, fell victims to this terri ble tempest; they were killed on the spot. Their com- rides succeeded in reaching the nearest village, where they were treated with all the attention that their case required. —Le Droit. W e have received, via Marseilles, some very interest ing news from the East. War has not yet commenced, but we begin to fear that it is not so remote as we were led to hope when the first rumours of hostilities reached us. On the 26th ult. a courier arrived at Alexandria, from Syria, with the news of a further advance of the whole Turkish army. MEHEMET Au had declared in public that out of respect to the European Powers he would not be the aggressor, but that if the Turks fired a shot or violated a rood of his territory, then would he unsh , ath a sword, which would win for him an independent throne or a bloody grave. Ac cording to some reports the Turkish army was in a state of utter destitution, there being neither provi sions for the men nor fodder for the cattle ; while other letters from the same quarter (Alexandria and Aleppo) represent the Turkish army as supplied to profusion with every requisite. Two hundred deserters from the Turkish lines joined the Egyptian army almost as soon as the hostile divisions came in sight, and their numbers were reported to be daily on the increase. By the latest accounts from Aleppo we learn that the Turkish army had advanced within five hours' march of that fortress, so that a battle is hourly expected. Throughout Egypt the preparations for war are most extensive. The fleet on the 27th was almost ready to put to sea. It consists of twelve sail of the line and four frigates, while the Ottoman fleet numbers no more than seven sail of the line and eight frigates. These preparations for war have seriously injured commerce in every part of Egypt. To make bad worse traffic in the interior is entirely stopped by the following official circular addressed by SULEINIAN DACHA (the French Colonel SELVES) to the European Consuls in Egypt : " Aleppo, 16 de Sefer, 1255. For some time past the caravans do not arrive from Turkey, and commerce on that side is entirely suspended. We have been patient, in order not to aggravate the evils ; but since the leading column ofthe Turkish army has passed the Euphrates, it appears that the severity had been in creased, since nothing now arrives, neither merchandise nor caravans. Under the present circumstances, and in de spite of the unwillingness which I have to communicate any measures prejudicial to commerce, I have the honour to inform you that all kinds of caravans are prohibited from passing the frontiers. For four days from this date the caravans and merchandize will be stopped and sent back, but after that period, they will be confiscated. As soon as from the side of the Turkish army the free circulation is re• established, orders will be given that the same measures be adopted here. I inform you of these steps that no heees may be experienced from ignorance and misunderstanding. I regret that such a determination, taken by the Turkish army without having sent us word, has forced us to make reprisals. Even in the very possible case of hostilities, which may God prevent for the prosperity of the country, war appears disastrous enough, without joining to it deso lating measures for commerce and for the population in general. " Major-General of the Egyptian Armies to the Euro. pears Charge d'Affairs. (Signed) " Lieut. General SULE 'NIA N." This circular clearly contemplates the almost certain approaches of hostilities, and therefore has excited a good deal of attention in Paris. The Journal des Debuts, after publishing correspondence from Constantinople, Alex andria, and Aleppo, recounting the preparations for war on both sides, makes the following remarks upon the position and prospects of the two armies : Let us make a resume of the belligerent forces. First, the Seraskier, Hafiz Pacha, Commander-in- Chief of the Turkish army, concentrates at Bir, on the Euphrates, an army well clothed and disciplined, well fed, and full of ardour. He forms at Khoniah, on the road to Constanti nople, a body of reserve of 50,000 men. On the cpposite side of the Euphrates, that is to say to the west of Aleppo, the Pacha of Marasch is at the head of 15,000 men. Marasch is situated at the entrance of the gorges of Mount Taurus, to the north-east of Adana, which belongs to the Viceroy Mehemet Ali. It is not said whether the Pacha is to reconquer Adana, to extend his lines to the Gulf of Scanderoun, or if he is to turn by the defiles of Dagh- Liesel ( Mount Amanus), to descend in Syria by the lakes of Antioch (most of the maps of Syria only give one lake to the north of Antakia ( Antioch), but there are two, the Bohaire and the Guta). This manoeuvre would take the Pachalik of Aleppo in the sea by the west, as it is threatened on the east by the Euphrates, and on the north by Anitab. Finally, the Paella of Messoul, the ancient Ninive, and the Pacha of Bagdad, have arrived on the Euphrates with reinforcements of 20,000 men, and have taken their positions et Racha. Th is last movement is very significant ; there is no longer a doubt as to the plan of the Ottoman campaign, as soon as they arc seen to bear upon Racha, and a corps arrives 200 leagues off to aid in P. well digested plan. The importance of the movement is this. Racha (the ancient Nicephore) 'is situated at from four to five days' march below Bir, at the spot where Bolek (the ancient Balichus) flows into the Euphrates, and at eight or ten days' •from Damas, which is the centre of Syria, and of which the population, all composed of Os manlis deeply:detests the Egyptian sway. The consequence of this manoeuvre is therefore evident. Hafiz Pacha, having at his disposal a numerical force double that of Ibrahim, can hold him in check in Aleppo, and mask a flunk march towards Damas; that is to say, present in Ibrahim's front divisions to hold him in check, whilst another corps will execute a decisive movement. The desert, it is true, is between Damas and the Euphrates, but at every station there are springs or wells. Half way the fine oasis of Tadmour, the ancient Palmyra, is met 'with. This desert is incessantly traversed by caravans going from Damas to Bir, to Racha, to Deer, to Kerkisieh, and it has more than once been passed by armies. The fidelity of the Druses of the Hauran, and that of the Scheiks, a doubtful fidelity, is all that Ibra him can oppose to the Turks on this road, as he has not forces enough to guard it. The Hannan is a group of mountains fifteen leagues to the south of Damas, where there are a great number of springs which fertilize the ad jacent plains, of which Ledja is a portion, extending be tween Mount Hauran and Ouadi Adjem, a territory of Damas. This plain is commanded at the west by the great mass of Syrian mountains, in which are situated the principality of the Druses, between Damas and Beynith. This people are very powerful and warlike, and can bring 20,000 men on the field of battle. It is to their Prince that Ibraham has confided the care of Damas. It appears that the army of Ibrahim is threatened on three points; Syria taken on the rear by the Turkish army, and the situ ation of Ibraham is difficult, if not critical. It is well un derstood that our reasonings only apply to a rupture be tween the two parties, without renouncing the hope to see peace re-established by the common efforts of the European powers." We shall only observe upon the above, that the Egyp tian Commander-in-Chief is not a man to be caught in a net of HAFIZ PACHA'S weaving. With all the advan. tages which the Porte possesses, it is not d ou bt e d by th e ablest milit ar y authorities, that victory would declare for the VICEROY, were the belligerents loft to fight out their own battle. The power to work miracles is one of the least dis puted prerogatives of Royalty —a prerogative of which Protestantism only robbed the Priests to bestsw it the more extensively on Kings. Not a year passes in which Englishmen are not gladdened by beholding the most extraordinary instances of the practical exercise of the prerogative on the part of their gracious SOVE REIGN. By the stroke of a pen the most ignoble being on the face of the earth is made the most noble ; by the affixing of a seal the most dishonourable is trans fornied into the most honourable —and what is still most miraculous, the miracle in both cases is often perpetuated from generation to generation ! But there are degrees even in the exercise of miraculous power ; and we are disposed to accord to her most Catholic Ma jesty the Regent of SPAIN, the distinction of performing greater wonders than any other Sovereign, male or fe male in Europe. To prove that this is not the result of a groundless partiality, we refer to the Madrid Ga zelle of the 9th instant, in which we find a Royal De cree crea6g General ESPARTERO, the military dor mouse of Lagrono, Duque de la Victoria—Duke of Victory ! Well may this be called a cre.dian, since the materials for a Duke of Victory are not, and never were, to be found in ESPARTERO. Moreover, the General-in-Chief is created a Gran dee of the first class, so that from a suspected traitor he is at once become one of the most illustrious personages in Spain. To complete the farce, we re commend the Spanish Government to attach to the new Dukedom all the territory ESPARTERO has conquered from the PRETENDER during his four last brilliant cam paigns. Well walled in it might be made to supply his table with vegetables. The Madrid Press has protested against the Royal Ordinance for abridging its liberties. Not one of the Liberal Journals has consented to furnish the Censors ith copies p rev i ous to publication. This led to a Cabinet Council on the subject, but the Ministers shrunk from a prosecution of the Press before they bad ascertained more fully the general opinion upon the subject.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL COTTON MAkKET, MONDAY. —We have had a fair =demand for Cotton to-day, and Friday's prices have been fully maintained; the sales arc 2,800 bags, all for the trade. Arrivals this morning—French mail, and ship letters from Antigua. The accounts received from Rio Janeiro yesterday, al though not of a later date than previously received, still possess some interest. They state that "the financial posi tion of the province is at present infinitely more satisfactory than at the close of the financial years 1837 and 1838, when the Province was burthened with a debt, now paid off, amounting to 132,305,80,86 reis. The debt had risen from the fraud which had been practised prior to, and which occasioned the establishment of the previncial Consulado, to the enormous extent of 207,521,692 reis, in evading the payment of the dizimo on coffee, the growth of the province of Rio Janeiro, and effected principally by de spatching 245,065 arabas with arrias or certificates of different origin, and of dizimos already paid, caused this serious defalcation in the provincial revenue. ",We must not omit to record, that so soon as the Minis ter of Finance became apprised of the defalcation in ques tion, he removed the Administrator of the Consulado, and several of his subalterns, from office, upon a charge of con nivance and participation, or at least of culpable neglect in their duties ; but upon the Administrator being subse quently brought to trial upon those charges, he was acquitted by a jury. " The month of March is generally one of the dullest of the year for the import and export business,: arising partly from the smaller number of arrivals from abroad, occasioned by the contrary winds and tempestuous weather which pre vail on the European Sea during the first week of the year. This inactivity of the Markets has been experienced in a greater degree during the past month, on account of the holiday of Passion Week, and our ports have not ex hibited the same active scene as was witnessed during the months of January and February. " The Treasury here has refused of late to draw upon the northern ports, and we understand that orders have been sent to the treasurers there, to remit all disposable surpluses to London." Money has become more plentiful, and discounts were obtainable at more easy rates, The dullness which prevailed in the Share Market con tinued during the month, and there does not appear to exist any desire to speculate in them, notwithstanding the greater abundance of money. The American papers and letters by the New York packet Sheridan, have not yet been received. The few arrivals this morning, with the inactivity in commercial affairs, as well as a stagnation in speculating in the Funds, owing to the uncertain state of affairs in the East, and to which may be added the still prevailing great scarcity of money, cause much dullness in the City. To the present time both the British and Foreign Mar kets are at a complete stand still. THE FUNDS.

Some of the passengers landed at Falmouth, from whom New York papers have been ob tained, which do net contain any news of importance. The Galvestone Gazette of the 10th May states that a French frigate, a steam-ship, and a gun-brig arrived there on Tuesday, and are lying off the port. They are a part of the blockading squadrom from Vera Cruz, and brought Ad miral Baudin, who is at Houston. They state from Canada that the peaceable are fast leaving the colony, and coming to the United States. Sir George Arthur is returning to England, and the whole Province seems to have lost their senses. There was a fair business doing in sterling ex change, some of the leading drawers ask 10 per cent., but sales have generally been made at 91 to si per cent. We mmt observe that we do not believe the intelligence in the New York Herald respecting Canada—this is old news, received by previous papers, stating that some per sons were emigrating to the United States. We have received by the Silvie de Grasse, American packet, from New York, accounts one day later than the Sheridan.

ANOTHE R THOM IN FRANCE.--The Journal de Rouen contains the following from Neville, near St. Valery-en-Caux ;—" For some time past we have had here a stranger, who has been practising on public credu lity. lie announces himself to be Christ, and to have the power of working miracles, such as restoring sight to the blind, speech to the dumb, hearing to the deaf, &c., by means of prayers. The poor people of the country are so credulous, that at Ingouville, near St. Valery, a large number fell on ther knees in the middle of a farm-yard to hear the prayers of the new Messiah !" THE EXTRAORDINARY FISH.—Some Of 01.: contemporaries have been exciting the wonderment of the curious by narrating an account of a fish landed at Dover by some fishermen on Friday the 7th instant. We had an opportunity of inspecting the monstrum horrendunt shortly after its landing, and can assure our readers thati t was no other than a specimen of the Lophius piscatortus, or Com mon Angler, by no means large. This fishia nof uncom mon in our seas, and a variety is very plentiftli n Mounts Bay. It is a slow swimming fish, hides in the a hallows, feeding on smaller species which it decoys by the small worm-like processes placed upon the upper part of the head and back. It is certainly an interesting fish in its habits, but disgusting in appearance.—Dover Chronicle. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. (From the Poles and Proceedings of the House of Commons.)

Tnz Br.ooarsnunr CASE.—The manifesto to the Jockey Club has been signed by a considerable number of gentlemen, and will, no doubt, lead to such an alteration in the laws of racing as will render betting independent of any question of pedigree. GRAND ROWING MATCH. THE CAMBRIDGE SILVER SCULLS.—The final struggle for the Cambridge silver sculls, the amateur championship of the Cam. came off yesterday. It was frem first to last a most excellent and even contest. This contest was first instituted three years since, when Mr. Colquhoun, sen., a member of the Funny Club, gave this prize as an encouragement to sculling amongst the gentlemen of the Cambridge Universities, and vested the power with the Lady Margaret Club of St. John s to make such alterations in the wagers as to them might seem meet for the better encouragement of this invigorating sport. The articles of the race stipulate that the prize be a floating one, and that the winner of each year, arid necessarily the then holder of the sculls, shall, in the ensuing season, accept any challenge or resign the prize; but, in order to give him a better chance, the gentlemen desirous of disputing the palm of victory have to row with each other on the 12th of June, and the successful one of that body rows the final match against the holder on the 17th. Mr. Shadwell, of St. John' s Mr. Drew, of Trinity, and Mr. Vincent, of St. John's, we re the challengers of the present season ; and in the match of last Wednesday, detailed in our paper of the following day, Mr' Vincent was the victor, and yesterday was engaged in the final struggle for championship w ith M r . A n t ro b us, t h e winner o f last year and holder. The start took place at six o'clock, Mr. Vincent taking the choice of station at Westminster -bridg e * They were both off together, and kept abreast of each other by the llorseferry and Chandler's. The work in each boat wl beautiful, and Mr. A n t ro b us go t a s li g h t l ea d as they ne.kr,e Vauxhall Bridge ; but, in their desire to get most in the tif.ie, they came foul and abreast of each directly afterwards. Ai r ' Antrobus got clear, but was pressed hard to the Eagle, where they were again tog e th er . M r. Vi ncent h ere got a way, " 15 adversary could not overhaul him, and he arrived first at Putney by a considerable distance, his adversary having gon e foul at Battersea Bridge. LITERARY LION-ISM had .—We have lately a most piquant article, in a well-known periodical, on t he scope and tendency o f Li terary Lion-ism, from the pen of a lady, who, fro m p ersona l exper i ence, is better qua lified for the task than most of her contemporaries. But we arc now, it appears, to have " a whole history" of a Lite rary Lion, and from the pen (if report speak truly) of a writer singularly well qualified for the office. The sub. ject is undoubtedly a very admirable one. The personal history of a popular author of the nineteenth century can not fail to furnish innumerable traits and topics fraught with unusual interest and entertainment ; and as in the instance of " The Lion," we are expressly promised " a tale of the coteries," we may fairly look for the most at tractive novel of the season.
