EV IN G EDITION. LITERATURE. *CONFESSIONS OF A THUG.'- 3 VoLs. I3tnifey, London, 1839. About two years ago an admirable article appeared a, we think, the Edinburgh Review, giving an account of the Thugs —a fraternity of assassins who for years and years have pursued 'heir monstrous calling in every 'quarter of India, from Cutch to Assam, and from Cape Conaorin to the Hitnalayas ; and whose origin is lost in the remoteness of antiquity. Of this deeply interesting article w e gave •a minute account in The Sun, at the same tine! furnishin g our readers with a slight sketch of the Thugs, end the revolting circumstances under which they Perpetrate their wholesale murders. Since then, the whole iniquitous system has been laid open by the capture and 'revelations of some of the most noto rious leaders of these assassins ; and from the information anPLlied by these scamps, which the author of the tale hefe;e, us turns to excellent account both in his preface a!sd his narrative, we give the following additional par fsleulars, a great portion of which will necessarily be new to the majority of our readers. The word Thug, (which means a deceiver) is the general name for certain wandering bands of robbers and murd erers — many t h ousan d s i n num b er — w h o have front the curlie s t recorded ages, plied their profession ‘urougheut the entire length and breadth of India. Th e sYstem of - Thuggee, as it is called, is supposed to ow e its existence to the vagrant tribes of Alahumei ens wh o eeettinu,d to plunder the East, long after its in **sign by th e Moguls and Tartars. The Ilincloos, who, 4 clUtilly with the Moslems, engage in it, claim for the Syste m a divine origin, and pursue it therefore in the most inveterate spirit of bigotry and enthusiasm. Their chief tlivitiity is Blase anee—the goddess of destruction — ``h° hes conaniselened them, they allege, to pursue 4 ?" - , women., and children to the death, whenever ocett alon serves, with the exception of dancing girls, washer vvamen, bla c k stn i t h s ,• lepers, and deformed people , over whom they have power. In committing their mur ders, no howev e r they are to shed as little blood as pos sible, which is ediuus in the. eyes of Bhowanee ; where fore they use a normal (or handkerchief) with which they strangle their victims with all the quickness and " e ‘ t " it Y of a Jeck Ketch. The Thugs are remark tidy supctstitious, and never set out on an 'sxpeditioa, without consulting omens, conse erlting a pick —se, and eating a bit of holy sugar, Called goor, which is . supposed to rendei them callou s to al the impulses of humanity. They scour the. country in. separate bands of• fifty or a hundred, each of which has its Jemadar, or chief ; its Sothaeese or inveiglers of , travellers e , its Bbuttotes, or stranglers ; and its Singh:tees, whose office it is to dig the grave an, bur'; the dead: - They have one great and solemn festival in the vearthe Dasera—when they inaugu rate • their new -members, and immediately afterwards set fertli ott their expeditions, from which they seldom rttorn without al.tindanee of plunder, for it is a now w!- 1 1 ascertaiiicd fait, that they are in communication with many ol ilia native Rajahs and principal authorities of t he more sequestered Indian towns and villages, who wink et their proceedings, in consequence of their b eing ellosed a share of the plunder. It is a curious cir `"ls:nnce that the Thugs pride themselves, not only on the high antiquity and glorious character of their pro ' ses s l ° , l, -but, also ea their own strict moral and religious worth. They look upon themselves as saints, without spot or stain ; and certainly as husbands, fathers, bro thers, and friends, they arc most strict in the perform ance of their duties. In general, they are remarkably pleasing in their manners, mild and good-humoured in their conversation, full of anecdote and sprightliness, and will crack a joke with a traveller at. the very mo ment when they are about to strangle him. In fact, could they but keep their hands off a gentleman's neck, the Thugs, as a body, would leave nothing to be desired on the score of virtue and morality ! We will give a sketch of their mode of doing business. A party of Thu Js—amounting, say, to some fifty or sixty -start on an expedition whose route they have decided on during ti festival of the Dasera. Should they pick UP no victims on the road, they encamp on the outskirts . of some t own , d resse d i n t h e gar b o f merc h ants , w h o are associated together for protection ; and immediately send their Sauthaecs, or inveiglers, to the Bazaars, in order to insinuate themselves into the acquaintance of whatever body of travellers may be about to leave the town. As these Southaees are all adepts at deceit, winning, and h ghly correct in their general demeanor, they rarely fail of success. Supposing, therefore, that the travellers h ire agreed to join the Thugs, and accept of their escort to the next large town ; the first thing the -pretemied merchants do, is to send forward their Sughaces, to dig a grave in the most solitary part of the road, gcrierally on the confines of a jungle. Having arranged this preliminary, they nest make preparations fer rcceiring the travellers with all due hospitality in their camp ; set before,them a handsome supper—for they seldom commence operations till night-fall ; join them in their evening prayer; then engage them in ahireated conversation, in the course of which, while the travellers are splitting their sides at the f unny jokes of the Thugs,- a Bhuttote,• or strangler, 't"al's behind each individual ; and, finally, at a given signel trout the chief, of " give the Jherni !" strangle the urill,ip py wretches ; cut a gash in their bodies to prevent them from swelling after death ; bury them in the grave s which have been previously dug far their re ception ;. anti finish the night by apportioning to each Irian his share of the plunder. And all this is done without the slightest remorse or misgiving, in as cool and - business-like a manner as possible! Sometimes, as mane as fifteen travellers have been thus des- Ipitched' On one occasion, the Thugs were inter rupted in their proceedings, by the unexpected arrival (4 . two wears-, unarmed old men ; who, the instant they iSlught sight of the dead bodies, knew that there was no helle, and tottering towards the Bhuttotes, stretched Out their necks. for:the fatal 'handkerchief,. and were strangled without the slightest attempt at resistance! This horrid profession has now, we believe, received its (I, d l h-bknti. The Indian authorities have -for the last fo ur years been Unceasingly on the alert ; and the reve lations of one of the great Thug leaders—who boasted of havin g killed upwards of seven hundred men in his lime l—have led to the discovery and conviction of nearly one thousand murderers in one small district only. The tale before us, which purports to be the confes sions of a Thu g Jemadar, or chief, records the pro ceedings of these assassins in a minute, graphic, and truthful spirit. Many of the adventures, especially the more s‘mtionala al ones, are of course, fictitious ; but not a few of them hear, in every line, the sad impres s of reality. Th e ep i so d es which are frequent, are cleverly anti pertinently introduced, and relieve what would otherwise he a mere monotonous tale of blood. Of such a sort, is the account of the ma ratiding expedition of the Pindharee chief, Chee too, whose character is delineated with a breadth and vigor that occasionally remind us of Pope's masterly portrait of Hassan in " Anastasius." But, tragic and impassioned as some of its incidents are, there is one radical defect in the tale—and that is, in the reader's utter inability to take an interest in the fortunes of the hero. He is a monster of so atrocious a die —the deeds that lie perpetrates and glories in, place him so completely without the pale of humanity—that his suc cesses nice us no pleasure, and his reverses call forth none of our sympathies. But this was inseparable from th e nature of the subject, which notwithstanding its strangeness and novelty, is unsuited to the purposes of romanc, A LETTER TO THE QUEEN ON THE STATE OF THE .NATION. Br A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT. This is the production of a mild-tempered, well in tentioned eklerly gentleman, without force or depth. The author is a Conservative, and claims for his part tiie merit ef having thrown off the errors of Toryism, and become, as suitable to the events of the age, Con servative of the Constitution, or constitutional, rational, and praetteal Reformers. There is nothing in the pamp;det so good as the obvious intention of the writer, who, tLough lie mistakes the means, aims at promoting the public welfare. CANADA AND SOUTH AUSTRALIA, A COMIIIENTAI?Y, Erc. Br THORNTON LEIGII HUNT. Mr. Iluot, at present the editor of the Glasgow Ar,us, has devoted a good deal of time to the study or questions connected with colonization. He is one of Mr. Grbbon Wak,field's disciples, and a great advo cate for - sorno man or men seizing large portions of land end selling them to other men. In the olden time the Pope or the King did this, now it is a Corn • pan: .• • Tle Pope or th e Ki ng was sometimes generous, and b e g-aoted a whole continent or province, r.ithout any other consideration but his good pleasure.

So far as it has been acted on, the great object which Mr.'Hunt has in view is to compare its results with the results of the old system, as established in Canada and the North American Provinces, and particularly as these latter are known by Lord Durham's Report. As might be expected, the modern system is as much superior to the old one as a steam-engine is to a horse-gin, and Australia flourishes, while Canada and New Bruns wick, in the midst of prosperity, scarcely hold their own.

His remarks are supported by facts, and the pamphlet is neatly written. It is the result of lectures delivered to subscribers at the South Australian Rooms, and takes, perhaps, some of its colours from the audience to whom they were delivered, as well as from the bias of the author. HORRIBLE INDIAN TRAGEDY• ( From the lion. C. Murray's Travels in NorthArnerica.) The island which we were here passing was the scene, a few years ago, of one of those horrible tragedies, at which humanity shudders, and which Cooper has painted in colours equally graphic and terrible. The Sioux and the Winnebagoes had bee'.,for some time at war, but had agreed upon a tcraporary cessation of hostilities, when a party of al - ,out eight warriors of the former tribe came down to the bank of the river, and: saw on the island a 'Winnebagoe encampment containing eleven persons, all women and children, the men having gone out upon a hunting expe dition. The sight of these helpless victims aroused the thirst of the Sioux for blood ; and, regardless of the truce, they plunged into the river, swam to the island, and com menced an indiscriminate massacre. One heroic boy only escaped ; he drew his little arrow to the feathers, buried it deep in the breast of one of his enemies, then plunging into the thickets, fled, not for safety, but revenge. Swimming the river, he ran down its eastern bank to Fort Crawfurd, where his dreadful talc soon drew to his side many of his own tribe, who instantly returned with him towards the island, accompanied by a party of soldiers and officers (of whom my informant was one), who were ordered to use their best endeavours to over take and capture the Sioux ; but in the meantime, these latter, aware of the pursuit that would immediately en sue, completed hastily their murderous work, and scalp ing all their victims, retreated with their bloody trophies into the wilds of their own territory. When the Winnebagoes arrived at the scene of slaugilta., their shouts and yells were deafening. Women and children had joined them in great num bers, and mingled their shrieks and lamentations with the revengeful cries of the men. At length they esp;ed the body of the Sioux, whom the brave boy had pierced with his arrow ; he was, by this time quite dead, but had contrived to crawl a few hun dred paces from the encampment, and thus his com panions had, in the. hurry of their flight, forgotten to carry off his body. The Winnebagoes now surrounded it, and prepared to wreck upon it all the indignities which fury and revenge could suggest. The minister upon whom the office .devolved was a handsome young g;rl of eighteen, who was the nearest relative present of these who had been massacred ; she stept forward with a countenance calm and unmoved, seized the scalping knife, divided the bones of the breast with a skill and rapidity which . proved that the work was neither nevi , nor unpleasant to her ; and, tearing out the heart, cut it into small slices, which she pre sented warm and reeking to the savage men around her, who ate them in gloomy and revengful silence. In the whole history of the female sex, from the fierce treachery of Sissera, or the classical legend of Medea, down to the modern dramatic fiction of Helen Macgregor, I do not remember to have met with so fine a subject for the pencil of a Spagnoletto or a Guido, as this young and beautiful priestess of Ne mesis, surrounded by her murdered kindred, offer- ing the horrible banquet of the murderer's heart, not to satiate, but to excite the vengeful fury of the survivors of her tribe ! Would that I could see it on canvass, as I now have it before my mind's eye, with all the splendid accompaniments belonging to the scene ! the glorious Mississippi sweeping by ; the dusky groups bending with smothered grief and rage over the mutilated bodies of their friends ; the white men in the back ground looking on in the si lence of pity and horror, and, above all, the dreadful priestess of the bleeding heart ! Oh ! it is too horrible to think upon, and yet the injury suffered by these poor savages almost gives a tragic sub;imity to a scene which, under other circumstances, could be contemplated only with loathing and disgust EXECUTION OF GLEESON. (From the Barbadoes Liberal of June 26.) Yesterday morning the extreme sentence of the law was carried into effect at St. Ann's Garrison, upon the person of Corporal Patrick Gleeson, of the 36th Regi ment, who was convicted at the late Sessions of the wil ful murder of Acting Sergeant-Major Fletcher, of the same regiment. There was a very large assemblage of persons present, especially the lower orders, whose con duct before the arrival of the unfortunate man was un suited to so awful an occasion. At a quarter after ten o'clock a square was formed around the gallows, com posed of a detachment of the 36th and the regiments in garrison. At 20 minutes to 11 o'clock the criminal arrived at the foot of the gallows, accompanied by his spiritual adviser, the Rev. - Rogers, Roman Ca tholic priest, and surrounded by the mounted and foot police. A solemn stillness now pervaded the vast multitude of spectators, and the soldiers seemed deeply affected. After an interval of about five mi nutes spent in prayer, the unhappy man pulled off his boots, loosed the green cravat, from his neck, bound his head with it, and ascended the drop. There was not the slightest alteration in his countenance from what be exhibited in the Court-house during his trial ; the same settled calmness and apparent resignation. The rope having been adjusted by Sam Oddin, one of tl-e felons recently convicted of theft, he proceeded to ad dress the soldiers around him in substance as follows : " Brother soldiers and comrades, take warning by my example ; listen to my dying words—abstain from drink ing intoxicating liquors, for that has brought me to ! this untimely end. A report was in circulation that a conspiracy to take the life of the sergeant existed with two or three men of the company, and that I was the leader. With my dying .breath I assure you there was no such `thing ; no mortal knew my intention ; it was known to myself alone and to my God, in whose awful presence I shall soon be. I pray you all to forgive me. I have no one to blame but myself, and the use of strong drink." During the delivery of this address, which he made in a strong and clear voice, the conflict was indeed ter rible ; his bosom heaved frightfully, and twice he raised his eyes to heaven and gasped for breath. After con cluding the last words of his address the drop fell, and after slight convulsive struggles it was all over! He was not blindfolded, and we ere told that green being the colour of his regiment, was the cause of his binding his head with a green handkerchief. He appeared very penitent, and there was, we believe, but one feeling pervading the whole assemblage, that of sympathy for the unfortunate sufferer. We have since learnt that the unfortunate man ad dressed two very affecting letters, one to the jailor. and the other to his deputy; thanking them for their humane conduct towards him whilst in imprisonment, and under condemnation. NATIONAL EDUCATION.—Ott Friday a meet ing was held at Ipswich, at which the Lord Bishop of Norwich presided, for the purpose of promoting a So ciety for the advancement of Education in the principles of the Church of England. The Assembly Rooms were crowded with the Nobility and influential Gentlemen of the County, amongst whom were the Rev. Lord Bay ning, the Earl Jerrnyn, Lord Henniker, Lord Rendle sham, Sir C. B. Vere, Bart., K. C. 8., M.P., Sir W. Middleton, &c. The Bishop of Norwich opened the be sincss of the day, and said he should not have sought to have attended the meeting that day had lie not received a communication from the Dean of Norwich, requesting him to preside on account of the reports which had been industriously circulated, which conveyed a complete mis apprehension of his sentiments on the subject of National Education. His Lordship stated that he was a friend of education in connection with the Established Church, and approved of a system being carried out on the plan of the British and Foreign School Society. He said that the race of clergy which was now passing away had had the most favourable opportunity of instituting schools in their parishes, and of &meeting the people in the principles of the Church of E'agland. If this had been done thirty years ago, and education extended to teaching the children obedience to and. respect for the law, and the frugal hus banding of their means, it would have been impossible to ' have raised infuriated bands of malcontents, like the Chartists of the present day, and England Would have a very different aspect. He did not cast a general condem nation on the clergy of that period, for many of them had fully done their duty ; but he regretted that so golden an opportunity had passed—an opportunity that would take the greatest labour and energy of those anxious to improve the rising generation to reclaim. His Lordship concluded a most eloquent speech by stating the system he conceived should be pursued in parochial schools, and ho w the minds of the child ren shoul d be led to the practical use of the pre cepts instilled into them. Lord Bayning, Archdeacon Berners, Lord Henniker, Rev. Mr. Gould, Sir C B. &c., moved the resolutions in favour of the objects of the meeting, which were all unanimously carried.— Abridged f rom t h e Suffolk Chronicle.

Her Majesty went in state to-day to the House of Lords to prorogue Parliament. The Royal procession left the Palace before two o'clock, and pro ceeded along the centre Mall, and through the Horse Guards to Westminster. The doors leading to the galleries and body of the' House were opened at Twelve o'Clock, and the Peeresses and other Ladies who bad obtained tickets from the Lord Chamberlain began to arrive in quick succession. At Half•past Twelve the Earl of SHAFTESBURY toot his seat on the Woolsack, and Lord LYNDHURST, who was the only P eer in the House, presented several peti- tions, praying for support to the Established Church. • At one o'clock, all the seats which had been reserved for Ladle A were filled, and the body of the House and Gallerif:s presented a very brilliant and animated spec tacle. The space railed off on the right of the Throne for the Foreign Ambassadors and their Attaches was 'Also extremely crowded. The attendance of Peers was by no means numerous, there being not more than twenty present when her Ma jesty art ived. Among them we observed the Duke of Devonshire, the Duke of Cambridge, the Earl yfMun- ster, Viscount Melbourne, Marquis of Normanby; Mar quis of Slio, Viscount Duncannon, the Earl of Carlisle, Lord Stafford, Lord Ellenborough, the Bishop of Peter- borough, &c. The Duchess of Kent, accompanied by two other Ladies, entered the House at a quarter before two o'clock, and took her seat in front of the throne. All the Ladies and Peers rose on the entrance of her Royal Higl)ness, who acknowledged the mark of respect thus paid to her. At a few minutes past two the firing of guns and flourish of trumpets announced the approach of her Majesty, who shortly afterwards entered, preceded by the Heralds, the Lord Chancellor, Viscount Duncan non, Viscount Melbourne, and the great Officers'of State. The Usher of the Black Rod having been directed to summon the Commons, the Speaker, in his State Robes, and accompanied by a large body of Members, appeared at the bar. The SPE AKER then said— " Most gracious Sovereign, we, your Majesty's faith ful Commons of Great Britain and Ireland, attend your . Majesty with the last Bill of Supply for the Revenue of the present year. Various and important measures have engrossed our attention during a protracted and laborious Session ; but none more important or more deeply affecting the interests of the community than those which have for their object the prevention and punishment of crime. We have given the most care ful consideration to all these improvements, which have been suggested by experience and investigation, with reference to the Metropolitan and City Police Courts, and by extending and correctly defining the duties of those Courts, we have given increased security to the property of the inhabitants of this Metropolis without in any undue degree infringing on the liberties of the subject. The management and discipline of our prisons both in England and Scotland, have formed the subject of our most anxious delibera 'firm, and we have endeavoured on the one hand to make imprisonment as a punishment comparatively effective, and on the other hand to pay a due regard to the welfare of the prisoners with a view to their moral j improvement and reformation. Attempts having been made in some parts of the country to excite disaffec tion, accompanied as they have been in some cases by riots and destruction of property, we have felt it our imperative duty to adopt such legislative mee• sures as might prevent the recurrence of similar dis turbances. Accordingly we have provided the means of increasing your Majesty's military for. and have strengthened the civil authority of the realm by en abling the Magistrates to organise a paid constabulary force when the state of the counties or districts may require it. We have the satisfaction of announcing to your Majesty that, although the circumstances of the country have not permitted any material reduction in the public burdens, we have been enabled to alleviate their pressure by making a most important reduction in that branch of the revenue which is derived from the Post-office ; . and we believe that by the re duction of Postage to a low • and uniform rate, we shall not • only give encouragement to enterprise, and multiply the resources of the community, but that we shall have conferred social advantages of a much higher character on the poorer classes of your Majesty's subjects. We have given our willing aid in furtherance of your Majesty's wishes for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, by protecting from legal proceedings those officers who act under your Majesty's orders, for the suppression of the infamous traffic, and we earnestly hope that it may be reserved for you Majesty, under the blessing of Divine Providence, to perfect that great design which was originated by your Majesty's Royal predecessor, in• the purest spirit . of benevolence, and by the, final completion hereafter of this act of mercy and justice, shed a bright and enduring lustre on your Majesty's auspicious reign. It now only remains for us to present to your Majesty the last two Bills of the Ses. sion—one an Act to apply a sum out of the Consolidated Fund of the surplus of ways and means, and to appro priate the supplies granted in the present Session of Parliament ; and the other an Act for raising a sum of 12,026,050/. in Exchequer Bills for the service of the year 1839, to which, with all humility, we pray your Majesty's Royal assent." The Royal assent was then given to the fol lowing Bills :—The Twelve MiLions Exchequer Bills Bill; the Consolidated Fund Bill with the Appropriation Clause, the Exchequer Bills Fund ing Bill, the Duke of Marlborough's Estate Bill, the Bank of Ireland Act Continuance Bill, the Fisheries (France and England) Bill, the County and District Constables Bill, the Fines and Recoveries (Ireland) Bill, and the Bolton Police Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR on his knee then presented the Speech to the Queen, which her Majesty read as follows, in her usual distinct and impressive manner : " MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " The public business having been brought to a close I have now to perform the satisfactory duty of rcleas• ing you from your long and laborious attendance in Parliament. " I rejoice that a definitive treaty between Holland and Belgium, negotiated by the mediation of the Five Powers, has settled the differences between those two countries, and has secured the peace of Europe from dangers to which it had so long been exposed. " The same concord which brought these intricate questions to a peaceful termination prevails with regard to the affairs of the Levant. The Five Powers arc alike determined to uphold the independence and in- tegrity of the Ottoman empire, and I trust that this union will ensure a satisfactory settlement of matters which are of the deepest importance to the whole of Europe. "It has afforded me the sincerest pleasure to have been able to assist in effecting a reconciliation between France and Mexico. Intent upon preserving for my subjects the blessings of peace, I am highly gratified when I can avail myself of an opportunity of removing misun derstandings between other Powers. " I have recently concluded with the King of the French a convention calculated to put an end to diffe rences which have arisen of late years between the fishermen of Great Britain and of France. This conven tion, by removing causes of dispute, will tend to cement that union between the two countries which is so ad vantageous to both, and so conducive to the general in terests of Europe. " I shall continue to pursue with perseverance the negociations in which I am engaged, to persuade all the powers of Christendom to unite in a general league for the entire extinction of the Slave Trade, and I trust that, with the blessing of Providence, my efforts in so righteous cause will be rewarded with success. " I regret that the differences which lcd to the withdrawal of my Minister from the Court of Tehran have not yet been satisfactorily adjusted by the Govern ment of Persia. In order to fulfil the engagements announced to you at the opening of the present Session, the Governor-Gene ral of India has moved an army across the Indus, and I have much satisfaction in being able to inform you that the advance of that expedition h,ts been hitherto unopposed, and there is every reason to hope that the important objects, for which these military operations have been undertaken, will be finally obtained. " I have observed with much approbation the atten tion which you have bestowed upon the internal state and condition of the country. I entirely concur in the measures which you have framed for the preservation of order, the repression of crime, and the better ad ministration of justice in this metropolis, and I have given a cordial assent to the Bills which you have pre sented to me for the establishment of a more efficient constabulary force in those towns which peculiarly required it, and for effecting the important object of generally extending and invigorating the civil power throughout the country. " GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, " I thank you for the zeal and readiness with which you have voted the supplies for the service of the year. " It has been with satisfaction that I have given my consent to a reduction of the Postage Duties. I trust that the Act which has passed on this subject will be a relief and encouragement to trade, and that by facilitating intercourse and correspondence it will be productive of much social advantage and improvement. I have given directions that the preliminary step should be taken to give effect to the intention of Parlia ment, as won as the inquiries and arrangements re quired for this purpose shall have been completed. " The advantageous terms upon which a considerable amount of the Unfunded Debt has been converted into Stock, afford a satisfactory proof of the reliance placed on the credit and resources of the country, as well as on your determination to preserve inviolate the National Faith. " MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " It is with great pain that I have fo un d myse lf cam ! polled to enforce the law against those tvho no longer THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2B, 1839. concealed their design of resisting by force the lawful authorities, and of subverting the institutions of the country. The solemn proceedings of Courts of Justice, and the fearless administration of the laws by all who are engaged in that duty, ha . e checked the first at tempts at insubordination ; and I rely securely upon the good sense of my people, and upon their attachment to the Constitution, for the maintenance of law and order, which are as necessary for the protection of the poor as for the welfare of the wealthier classes of the community." The LORD CHANCELLOR then, by her jesty's command, announced the Prorogation of Parlia ment till " Thursday the 24th of October, to be then here holden." Her Majesty, who looked extremely well, then quitted the House, and the Royal cortege returned in the same order to Buckingham Palace. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Auorsr 27. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Half-past One o'Clock. Mr. E. J. STANLEY moved for new writs for the county of Tipperary in the room of R. L. Sheil, Esq., who, since his election, had accepted the office of Vice- President of the Board of Trade ; and for the borough of Manchester, in the room of Mr. P. Thomson, who has accepted the office of Governor-General of Canada. Mr. HAWES g ave notice th a t nex t s ession he would move for leave to bring in a Bill for putting the Sum mary Jurisdiction of Magistrates on a more satisfactory footing. Lord MORPETH presented a petition from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, complaining that they were not allowed sufficient remuneration for their attendance at inquests and on criminal cases. On the motion of Mr. MUSKETT a return was or dered of the rate of interest charged by the Bank of Ireland on loans at discount since the year 1780 up to the present time. Mr. FRESHFJELD brought up a further report of the Committee on public petitions. SLAVE TRADE. Sir ROBERT INGLIS asked if the Noble Lord at the head of the Foreign Department ;as prepared to state to the House if any, and what, measures had been taken for the further prevention of the slave trade, by additions to our naval force on the coast of Brazil and on the coast of Africa. On the coast of Brazil, he understood that at 'present we had only one vessel em ployed on that service ; he hoped the Noble Lord would be enabled to make a statement to the House on this subject which would be satisfactory. Lord PALMERSTON could assure the Hon. Baronet that her Majesty's Government would take proper m e asures for reinforcing the squadrons on both t h ose sta tib e s. The Hon. Baronet must perceive that the most important part was the coast of Africa, always supposing that they possessed the right of seizing and condemning" upon the equipment alone. The great object of humanity would be better attained by seizing the vessels before they had their slaves on board, which might be done on the coast of Africa, rather than by suffering the slaves to be trans ported across the Atlantic, and then either taken back to Sierra Leone, at a distance from their homes, or left in the Brazils, where, though nominally free, he feared they were really slaves.—(Hear.) Now the power of condemnation upon equipment alone we possessed by treaty with different countries, and the provisions of the Act recently passed affirmed the power of condemnation in cases where the trade carried no flag whatever, and he could also state that negocia tions were being entered into with the different nations of Europe and America with whom we did not already possess treaties on this subject. Mr. EWART wished to know if it was intended to employ steam vessels on this service. Lord PALMERSTON said that opinions were not agreed ou that subject, and some difficulty had arisen as to the employment of steam vessels on the coast of Africa—but his Noble Friend at the head of the Admiralty had a steam-vessel in readiness to go to that coast. At twenty minutes past two o'clock the Usher of the Black Rod summoned the House to the House of Peers, to hear her Majesty's most gracious Speech in pro roguing Parliament. On his return, the SFEAKER read her Majesty's speech, and the House then adjourned. LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS—Aucusr 27. Their Lordships sat this morning in a Committee of Privileges. The Peers in attendance were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Calthorp, the Earl of Galloway, Lord De Manley, Lord Strath allan, the Earl of Abingdon, and Lord Lismore. CAMOYS PEERAGE. The LORD CHAN C ELLOR g ave judgment to-day i❑ this case, in which there were several claimants to the dignity of the Barony of Camoys, which was created in the reign of Richard the Second, and which has been in abeyance for several hundred years. Their Lordships were of opinion that all the claimants bad made out their pedigree, and it therefore now remains with the Queen to say who shall inherit the title. Among the claimants are Mr. Stonnor. Sir Jacob Ast ley, Mr. Strange Styleman, Mr. Biddulph, and Madame De la Cauien. LOCKHART V. MACDONALD. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this case, remitting the interlocutors complained of back to the Court of Session, with instructions. ELLIOTT V. CLEGHORN. The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this case, dismissing the appeal ni:h costs. TRANSEY V. WHITE. The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this case, in which our readers will recollect the appellant pleaded his own case a few da}•s ago. His Lordship ordered the appeal to be dismissed. PORTUGUESE WINE TRADE. It will be seen by the order, signed by the -- 70110 — winfr Portuguese Minister of Finance, that the memorial of Messrs. Osborn Brothers, to the Portuguese Govern ment, has been successful. The memorialists, it will be remembered, are Oporto merchants, and the prayer of their petition was that the second quality of Port wine might be permitted to be exported from the Douro to Quebec in a British vessel, by paying an ad valorem duty of one per cent., according to a decree of the sth May, 1837 : (From the Official Gazette bf Aug. 17.) " The General Cortes not baying come to any deter mination respecting the matter submitted to the consi deration of the Chamber of Deputies, in a despatch from this department, under date of the 11th of March last, to wit, the application made by some merchants of the city of Oporto for permission to export Port wine of the second quality to the English Colonies in vessels of that nation, on payment solely of a duty of one per cent. ad valorem, instead of 6 milreis per pipe, as determined by the law of the sth May, 1837, Ar ticle 3d, when it is not exported in Portuguese vessels, or in vessels of the nation to which it is destined, if such nation admit into its ports Portuguese ships and produc tions on a footing of perfect reciprocity and equality ; and, whereas Osborn Brothers have lately requested to be allowed to export in foreign vessels a quantity of the said wine to Quebec, on payment solely of a duty of one per cent., on giving' i bond for the remainder of the impost of 6 milreis until the Cortes shall have definitively decided upon the subject ; her Majesty the Queen,con siciering the importance to the prosperity of agriculture and commerce of facilitating the opening of new markets for this superabundant produce of the country, the stagnation of which is causing the ruin of maNy families ; and adopting the opinion of the Attorney-General of Finance, orders, through the oitce of. the Secretary of State for the Department of Finance, that the Com mittee of Administration of the Custom-house of said city shall allow the exportation of the wine in question in foreign vessels, on payment of one per cent, ad valo rem, and bond given for the difference between it and 6 milreis per pipe, and shall practise the same in all s c h a a se ll s have ea decided similar finally uponu until i t i t -s h l e 3 8l matter. e l gi 3 sl 9 a legislative power (Si gne d) "M.A. DE CARVALHO. " Palace of Necessidades, Au me ago th e follow ing PRAGUE, AUG. 9.—Some time tragic occurrence made a deep impression in this ca pital :—Trubensee, an old orchestra conductor, known in Bohemia by several, though not very distinguished, corn. positions, had two daug hters, his only wealth. Th e eldest displayed great di s p osition for music and actin g , so that the father, who cultivated her natural talen ts with great care, could reck on on a comfortable old age , if . ' --valg gone to confession, the prie st happened to questi on h er ghiisrl,chwildhowerweassoopnaretnieanbilserdlytoheassucetinfudl th e stage. Th e h. ; about her situation in life. She informed him of her prospects, and made him acquainted with he r family harshly i 0 nif shedid h not irn, resist rebuked by and athffraeiarstenewdhewnithshe was sl p the temptations of Satan, which were attracting her to the stage. The father, who, in the course of his lessons soon remarked his daughter's refractoriness, endeavoured to overcome the impression made upon her by the priest's menaces, and did not fail in his turn to threaten the frighted girl. The poor creature, being repeatedly h>. rassed from both quarters, fell into deep melancholy, anda t length, intent upon putting an end to her wretched existence, threw herself from the top of a rock into one of the ditches surrounding the town, and fractured both her legs in her fall. She has since been cured in the hospital, but it will not be easy to restore her to her senses. She is this moment in a state of complete insanity. In spite of t'-is misfortune the father had the courage to destine his second daughter for the stage, where she soon made her appear ance ; but her inferior talent meeting with no success tele was hissed, and has since gone mad with disappointment The poor old man is now reduced to misery with both his daughters. There is a rumour that his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex has intimated his intention to visit Edin burgh during the present season. We do not vouch for the truth of this report.—Edinburgh Evcning Post. We hear that Mr. C. Wood will succeed Mr. Baring at the Treasury, and that Mr. O'Ferrall will go to the Admiralty as successor to Mr. Wood. PRICES OF CANAL, DOCK, ASSUR ANCECOMPANY SHARES, &c. &c.&t.

Equitable Loan Company A MARTYR.—The immortal Vicar of Liamlly and Llanon, the prosecutor of John James and David Jones, the Rev. Ebenezer Morris, is in circumstances of great difficulty. He says he is a poor man, and we will take his word for it. He is unable to defray the ezpenses he incurred by his proceedings against Mr. Jones, still less of those with which he is threatened in consequence of Mr. Jones's illegal imprisonment, and his friends ha v e there fore opened a public subscription in his behalf. Poor Ebenezer Morris! METROPOLI TAN POLITICAL SUMMARY. The Globe of last evening observes, with reference to the present popular discontents :—" That the nearly balanced state of parties in the House of Commons can not with truth be regarded as a proof of affection in the people to the principles of Toryism, is evident from the struggle which is now taking place among the labouring classes to obtain a larger share of iufluence i n the Government. Much as we deplore the discontents, and strongly as we disapprove of the means employed by the misguided followers of the unprincipled demagogues who have availed themselves of popular discontent to effect their own mischievous and selfish designs, it is not possible to shut our eyes to the fact that there is a struggle for mastery going on between the people and the aristocracy, which, if not allayed by a wise and prudent'' attention to the evils which led to it, may at no distant pe riod produce results fearfully and tremendously appalling. The unpopularity of the present Government with the lower classes, which the Tory party has fomented, and in which they so indiscreetly glory, results from its having placed itself between the popular movement' and the objects at which it aims. The same course must be taken with yet more hostile determination by the Tories, were they in power. The struggle would then become increasingly fearful. The innate hatred w Inch the great bulk of the nation feels to the prin ciples of Toryism, the selfish and corrupt operation of which is written on every page of England's history, would break forth—the movement' would be strength ened and accelerated in the collision which would ensue ; the most venerable and sacred institutions of the coun try would be endangered ; and though they might and probably would survive the shock, it is the part of wis dom to avoid the experiment." The Standard, commenting on the character of the new Ministerial appointments, observes as follows :—" That tit° Cabinet has been for some time past the scene of the lowest intrigue for place is obvious from the fact, that the various sections by which it is divided have exhibited, in reference to these very appointments, the greatest distrust and dislike of each other. Some authority must have been received from Members of the Cabinet to contradict the announce ment, on the correctness of which the Morning Chronicle insisted so positively. Was the denial put forth by the interested parties themselves, under a feeling of apprehension of any premature an nouncement of their forthcoming honours, lest sonic unlucky chance should intervene to prevent them from attaining them ? Or did the contradiction arise from the determination of the Melbourne portion of the Ministry to resist their preposterous pre tensions as long as they had the power so to do ? In whichever of these causes it originated, the result af fords abundant evidence that the ' movement,' or ' Morning Chronicle,' section of the Government, is at present in the ascendant ; and that further and more important changes may be looked for on the first convenient opportunity ? We may consi der, therefore, the intimation of Sir John Hob house on the subject, as correct as the authority' on which our three Evening Ministerial Contemporaries were pleased to deny so firmly the correctness of the Morn ing Chronicle's announcement. The Bedchamber Go vernment is evidently in the dark as to what it may or may not be compelled to d; , .. There is but one portion of their policy which may be held to be irrevocable, and that is, their determination to remain in office as long as it is possible for them so to do." The Courier, speaking of Lord Brougham's friendly allusion last night to Lord Melbourne, in the course of his speech on education, says :—The foolish fat scullion of Sterne must have wept at this ; but Peers, however fat, are wiser in their generation, and their hearts grow flintier with years. Lord Melbourne excites in us the utmost admiration. The power with which he seems to suppress his inward and natural emotions whilst hearing this, is marvellous. The effort must have been terrible, but it was successful. The Noble Viscount suc ceeded in saying not a word ! This was indeed a triumph. Had he attempted to utter a syllable he must have co vered himself with confusion. Emotions that excite tears, as in the case of Lord Brougham, are prodigiously powerful, and cannot sometimes be suppressed ; but emo tions that assume quite a contrary expression ought on such occasions to be controlled, and they were wonder fully kept down." STEAM LOCOMOTION ON COMMON ROADS. Mr. W. Hancock, of Stratford, has published a com parative statement of the advantages of steam locomo tion on common roads and on railroads, in which he safs—" It has been asserted that steam locomotion on common roads can never be profitably - adopted ; that it ; is against the laws of nature—because the resistance of a common road, compared with that of an iron rail, is as 12 to 1 ; and it would be inferred that the wear and tear would be in this proportion. Although the above ratio, 12 to 1, is believed to be too high, yet I will not dispute the point at present, but proceed to prove, that through the enormous first outlay in the formation of a railway, common road locomotion can well afford to pay , !for increased wear and tear. No person would forego the accommodations of the common roads to travel by railways, but for the sake of expedition ; and as wear and tear is increased by the squares of the velocities, this will be some set off in favour of locomotion on the , common road, not only in theory, but which practice has also fully established. I shall take the speed on the common road at 14 miles, and for the railway at 25 miles an hour. The average cxpence for the repair of railway locomotives has been allowed at 33 per cent., equal to a renewal every three years. The square of the velocity 14, gives 196 as the ratio of wear and tear of common road locomotives ; the square of the velocity 25, gives 625 as the ratio of wear and tear of railway locomotives ; or above three times more through increase of speed. Multiply 196 t by 12, the difference of resistance, it gives the ratio of wear and tear of a common road locomotive, compared 1 with a railway one as 2,352 is to 625, or nearly four times greater, which from my experience during 14 years' running on the common roads, and from all the information I have been able to obtain upon railway affairs, I am quite certain cannot be the proportion. As we are on the subject of wear, we should recollect that the present rough surface of the roads, arising from the horses' feet and narrow wheels, would be materially smoothed down by the rolling of the broad vertical wheels of locomotives, and the resistance be materidly diminished. We will now proceed to ascertain the merits of the two modes of locomotion, under as equal I circumstances as possible, that is, the removal of like weights equal distances. The formation of the Birmingham Railway cost, say 5,000,000/. ; the annual interest of which, at 5 per cent. is 250,000/. The for mation of stations for water, fuel, workshops, &c., on the common roads would cost, for the same distance, about 10,000/. ; the annual interest on which, at 5 per cent., would be only 500/. The number of locomotives on the railway we will take at 50 ; to perform the same work on the common road would require 70 ; and the reason that no more would be required is, that I make my engines of doable power in size of c 3 tin der to those used on the railway, and use steam at double the pressure, which makes one of mine equal to four railway engines, without weighing more, the lower speed, and other circumstances, nut requiring many of the parts should be so strong. The total value of the railway locomotives, at 1,4001. each. would be 70,000/. ; the annual amount of repairs, at 33 per cent. would be 23,300/. ; the common road locomotives at 1,8001. each, would be 126,000/. ; the annual amount • of repairs, at 33 per cent. would be 42,000/. It cannot be unfair to anticipate, that an equal annual sum would be received for goods and pas sengers, as with the railway, when we reflect that by passing along the ancient and accustomed line of traffic, both the expense and inconvenience of cross-road con veyance, as from the railway, would be avoided, greater accommodation (speed excepted) would be afforded, and that without risk of accident frorti running off high embankments, or the disagreeable confinement in travel ling at the bottom of deep cuttings or through tunnels." He then gives a table showing that the daily interest of capital on the common road, would be '271. Bs., and of the railway, 6851. On the common road, he says. the cost per mile would be 4s. 10d. ; and by the railway it is 17s. 7d. THE MARKETS.-(YESTERDAY.) (From the London New Price current cg August 27.) SUGAR. —The West India Sugar market has become very quiet; the demand from the grocers during the past week has been limited, particularly for good and fine yel low qualities, and the refiners bought cautiously, but the merchants remained firm, and the rates previously esta blished were supported for all descriptions.

Brazil is held firmly, but there has not it been much passing by private contract in brown sorts; white kinds have sold slowly; but grey descriptions with strength are wanted. Mocassr.s In West India the purchases have been to a less extent since this day week; still a fair demand has prevailed, and previous rates have been fully supported. This afternocn, 340 puns and 55 casks fine new Barbadoes were offered at auction; 180 of which were bold at 365, being on a par with last week's rates. fse.—the auctions, which commenced ye:tterday, were well attended by the trade: the quantity brought forward amounted to 37,500 packages, the principal part.

In the prices of East India no variation has occurred since we last wrote, but by private contract there has been less bo- sincss doing in Java for home consumption ; 138 bags at public sale sold at 78s to 78e 61 fur good ordinary mixed. For Mocha the demand has been only for smalls, at the quotations. This afternoon there was not much doing in Coffee ad missible for horse consumption, but in priers there was no variation ; 201 bags Ceylon at auction sold at 101 s 6el to 102 e for good, and 1031 61 for rine ord : 300 bags St. Do mingo were offered and sold rather dearer, good mei fetched 48; per cwt.
