Under the Management of Mrs. REELEY. _ . The Herald of yesterday, in an article full of paradoxes, makes the luminous discovery that Con servatism is everywhere rapidly on the increase. " The spread and growth of Conservative principles," says our sanguine Contemporary, "at the present moment are really wonderful. The advance becomes even visibly apparent from month to month." The Herald must have wonderful optics to be able to see what is " visibly apparent" to no one else in the com munity. Where are the signs and tokens of the rapid sn"ead of Conservatism? Assuredly they are not to be found in the House of Commons, where the regular working PEEL majority is, if any thing, rather on the decline than on the increase, or at any rate stationary ; and where the party itself is filled with doubts and distrusts, distracted with feuds, 1:epl-, together with difficulty, and as splenetic and hypochondriacal as a rheumatic old woman in a No vember fog. If we look without the walls of that eccentric assembly which—by way of a joke, we pre sume—calls its,4f a national Senate, still less shall we find any indications of the spread of Conservative principle:,. The people appear to be everywhere le thargic, if not absolutely indifferent, except, perhaps, in the manufacturing districts, where the general feeling is certainly anything but Ministerial. We might even extend this exception to the agricultural counties, for no one can deny that, torpid as is the public feeling there, opinion runs by no means so strongly in favour of the Conservative Cabinet as it did when this notable Junta first entered into office. Too liberal for the agriculturists, and not liberal enough for the manufacturers, Ministers are deci dedly strong nowhere but in the House of Commons; and even now, notwithstanding present appearances are in their favour, no one can calculate on the continuance of their power, for a very evident spirit of uneasiness pervades Parliament that in dicates anything but a settled state of the political atmosphere. But our Contemporary is quite satis fied of the truth of his assertion—we wish him joy of his conscientious conviction—and points to the recent f I election at Birmingham as a proof that Conservatism is rapidly on the increase. It is singular how this great town rises and falls in the estimation of our Tory journalists just according to the representatives it sends to Parliament. When Birmingham returned a Liberal, then it was a place whose political influ ence was of no moment whatever; but now that it has returned a Tory, the Herald suddenly discovers that the weight of its authority is great, and points to its choice of Mr. SPOONER as one of the most striking signs of the times. Now every one knows the means by which this gentleman's election was secured. It was not the increased strength of Con servative principles that enabled him to defeat Mr SCHOLEFIELD, but the disastrous split amongst the Liberals. Had Mr. STURGE not come forward, as he unquestionably ought not to have done, the Tory candidate would have had about as good a chance of entering St. Stephen's, as Sir J. GRAHAM has of re gaining hip long lost popularity. It was the Quaker " did it all." Our Contemporary goes on to say : " The tlivi4ons among the Conservative party - are di visions consluent upon known and ascertained strength. le assurance is becoming daily more and more co , irmed that there is little to fear from the opponents of Conservative principles, and that the Whigs are defunct and unable to resume the ma nagement of affairs, even were the most extraordi nary concurrence of events to place the oppor tuni within their reach." The assertion in The Adventures of " Martin Cbuzzlewit" having, on each repre .entation, been received with every possible mark of public appro bation by the most fashionable and crowded audiences, and having been pronounced by the unanimous voice of the publie press to be one of the most interesting Dramas ever produced from the works of its celebrated Author, a repetition of its performance will take place every evening till further n.tice.

Indeed whatever good there may be in the PEET. Cabinet, is solely attributable to its adoption of these principles. Its tariff, for which it takes so much credit to itself, is a Whig principle—its free-trade tendency is a Whig principle—its new-born toleration in religious matters is a Whig principle—its concession of a Post•office Committee, in deference to the just, wishes of the people, is a Whig principle—in fact it is on Whig principles that it conducts public affairs, knowing well, from humiliating experience, tbat it is not Whiggism but Toryism that is defunct. We recur to the debate on the Bank of England Charter Bill in the House of Lords, last week, with an increased conviction that it was better calculated to apprise the public of what may be termed the phi losophy of the measure, than any of the discussions which had preceded it in the House of Commons. But we must not omit to remark, by the way, that some of Lord RIPON'S frank admissions as to the past history of the results of the Bill of 1819 were of an effect not less fatal to the pretensions of this measure for its complement, than the more guarded, though not more convincing, pleas advanced . in its favour by Lord MONTEAGLE. Let us see what these admissions of Lord RIPON amount to. " The pressure," said he, " on the money market in 1825 was the most severe pressure, he believed, which had ever existed in this country. Indeed, he believed the effect of that pres sure to have been greater than that which occurred in 1797, previous to the Bank Restriction Act." Now there is no incident on which Sir ROBERT PEEL, is so fond of playing his battery of small common-places of " fatal measures," " ill-advised expedients," "de plorable resolution," &c., as this Bank Restriction Act. There is no topic but this upon will hhe permits himself to speak with flippant disparagement of his great master, Mr. PITT.

Lord PALMERSTON moved for a retura showing the number of African negroes landed for the purposes of slavery on the continent and islands of America from the year 1815 to 1843, both inclusive. His Lordship made an admirable speech on the horrible traffic car ried on by men calling themselves Christians. Sir ROBERT PEEL followed in a long speech, and said he would willingly have acceded to the motion at once, but for the oratorical display made by the Noble Lord, who had been comparatively idle all the session, and now made a great speech at the close.

Th e motion of Earl FORTESCIIE for infor mati,.n relative to his re-appointment was agreed to. The report on the Charitable Donations and Be quests 13i1;, applicable to Ireland was received. The measure seemed to meet with general approbation from the Opposition side of the House.

Mr. HAWAS moved the previous question, and after some discussi on, the House divided, when there were —fur the motion, 39, and against it, 5.

The House again met at half-past Five o'clock, when the CirANcEr.r.ott of the ESTHEQUER presented the Report of -the Commissioners of Revenue Inquiry, which he moved to be printed. He thought, however, that the evidence should not be printed, as it might criminate certain individuals. It would, however, be on the table the use of Members. Mr. T.

Lord RIPON admits that after PEEL'S Bill of 1819 had served a seven years' apprenticeship—in 1825, when, if ever, it should have been able to work out all the good which its projectors had so confidently predicted of it, "there came upon the country the severest monetary pres sore which had ever been known here—worse than that of 1797." But the Bullionists affirm that the restrictive Act of 1797 was, in effect, a compromised national bankruptcy. They date from that epoch the origin of all the evils that ensued, in the shape of adverse exchanges, of over-speculation, of over-issues of paper, of inconvertible paper—all the evils, in short, which Parliament was persuaded to believe the Currency Bill of 1819 would infallibly cure. The very State doctors who prescribed that empirical remedy now admit that seven years afterwards the patient was worse than he had ever been before, even at that two-and-twenty years antedated period which they had so long denounced as the most malignant hitherto experienced by the monetary sys tem of our country. But what next ? Why, having dosed us with this deleterious nostrum in 1819, and acknowledged its total, disgraceful, and almost irre trievable failure in 1826, they have now the modesty to insist on administering a larger and more nauseous potion—the large remainder, the dregs, the " comple rnen:,''—'n 1844! Between 1797 and 1819 there had elapsed fifteen years of war and four of peace ; and there had occurred no catastrophe to make the crisis of 1797 itself. Between 1819 and 1825 there had intervened seven years of profound peace, the closing year being distinguished by a mone tary catastrophe far more terrible than that which had distinguished the first of the series of fifteen years of war ! Since 1826 we have been blessed ss'Lli a serene period, extending over eighteen other years of profound peace ; and it is now— aethe end of this term—that the quacks, whose blundering treatment of 1819 reduced us in seven years to a more fearful state of exhaustion and jeopardy than we were in, even in 1797, insist upon their'greater capacity and our improved condition to submit to a further exhibition of their dangerous incompetency ! The Earl of RIPON sees the monstrous assurance and inconsistency of the demand of his fellow Ministers in this case, or the confidence and graditlity of Par liament; for he next admits the failure of the joint stoek banks' institution scheme to justify thd expec tations of the then Ministers, that it would;operate as a check to any over-issue of paper. 'Several monetary crises in 1832, 1836, and 188, de monstrated, he says, the futility of these ex planations. He says that the effect of +lar issues of paper is to produce actiaity business, but of a most fallacious kind ; a4id I under these circumstances men " overlook the kerri revulsions which must arise if their issues df pa be not regulated by a sufficient rule." • 'W wo respectfully challenge L or d R IPON t o po i nt u t : 1 period in the lapse of f or ty- seve n y ears , f ro , l' to the present time, at which, prior to 1814, w' we had not yet been favoured with a C u r rer 4 I as there have been in 1825, and in stye . 1 m recent years, under its operation ? But. Lor Rs contends that there was no sufficient rule wh eb: regulate these paper issues, except the con idol the foreign exchanges. We have more than once endeavoured to s ow the occasional utter failure to which this test uld be liable ; but Lord MONTEAGLE roundly maintains that it is exceedingly possible the Batik might larggly con tract its circulation, and thereby bring the exchanges nominally- in our favour, so that gold.vegl4 to be flowing into the country again, and yet that the Bank might be compelled, to meet the pending drair of bullion, before this influx had taken place,lto pa away its last golden sovereign. This case isl put c no less an authority than Mr. HUSIEISSON'S :f--" I now came to the greatest and most importanti obji tion to the Bill—namely, that it was founded i proceeded upon the assumption that the stet of foreign exchanges were constantly likely to 1 duce a drain upon the Bank, and that it was even contemplated there wo u ld b e suc h an effeict p duced by means of an internal drain.

" A grand con spiracy," it says, " existed, which had its agents at Vienna, Paris, and London, principally in the latter, for uniting all the different states of Italy into one great Government. The POPE and the Church were to be dismantled, the King of NAPLES banished, the several dukedoms dispensed with, the kingdom of Lombardy freed from Austrian authority ; in short, the great Government of Italy was to be established.

The instructions under the head of " Objections to persons on the lists," ought to be carefully studied by all who take an in terest in elections, and we ir.sy say of the publication in general, that we know of ,- f) work on the registra tion of voters, which contains so much information in so small a compass. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. The Madrid Gazette of the 9th contains three financial decrees : the first sanctioning the rescision of the tobacco contract, the second approving of the arrangement made by Senor Mon with the Bank San Fernando for a monthly advance of 60 mil lions of reals, and the third prescribing the mode of liquidating the different pending contracts. The parties interested in the tobacco contract are to be repaid their advances and expenses, with interest at the rate of six per cent., and two per cent. com mission on the amount of the tobacco sold by them whilst in possession of the monopoly. A portion of the tobacco revenues to be specially assigned for the payment of their claims. The arrangement with the Bank San Fernando is only from month to month, but there was little doubt of its being made perma nent, as no measure had yet been adopted for many years that would so fully tend to amelio rate the administration of the revenue. It was expected that in the decree of the dissolution of the Cortes and convocation of others, Ministers would explain their policy and the line they pro posed following. Some allusions would be made to national property of such a nature as to calm any anxiety which late reports might have created among purchasers. The funds improved in consequence of the confi dence which Mon's measure inspired.

Tbat labourers are extensively wanted in the the West Indies is notorious. Those coolies who have visited ck- the Mauritius have,. as a body, been well pleased with the results that have followed the exercise of their labour, of and in many instances have returned to their homes with OD small fortunes. Then, as to the expenses of deportation, no doubt is entertained by practical me n th a t it oug h t not to be 'e borne by the mother country. Lord Stanley, we are told, - has already fully considered the subject, and is of the opinion we have just stated. No question but that a loan for the purposes stated, to be guaranteed by the Legislature, would receive the support of the whole of the. West India body, in and out of Parliament. But as the Colonial Secre tary intimated last night, the session is now too far advanced for the consideration of any such measure this year. The following important notification had been issued at the Havannah, just before the last advices from thence were dis patched :- 19 " Our intendent, in consideration of the calamitous conse er quences of the drought, which, until lately, has been expe i-„ rienced throughout the island, h as d ecreed:—Firstly, That 'ed from the 10th July until the end of the present year, the fel la lowing articles shall be admitted upon paying half the pre sent rate ofduties, viz. —Maize, corn-meal, beans, potatoes, Lve and rice ; and that sweet potatoes, yams, and plantains, shal l la- be free of duty.

On Monday the usual annual fancy fair and fête champetre in aid of the funds of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum took place on the grounds of the Asylum, under auspices of the most cheering description. The quarterly meetings of ironmastere were held during the past week as usual; there was less previous anxiety as to the result either with respect to demand or prices than is usually the case. During the last quarter the trade has been in a healthy state, the demand steady, and the prices for all description of iron fair and remunerating. The population of Newfoundland at present amounts to nearly 100,000 souls, altogether of British birth or extraction. They consume annually the produce of other countries to the amount of 800,0001. sterling. They annually export produce in value to one million sterling, and there are employed in its fisheries alone not less than 20,000 active, enterprising, and able• bodied seamen. From all accounts the 12th of July, long notorious in Ire land for orange outrages, has passed off this year without any disturbances. There were Orange processions in several districts, but generally the usual demonstrations were not attempted. The accounts 'of the weather and crops in the north, and particularly in Scotland, are highly favourable. The weather, says the lyeshire Journal, is still delightfully dry and warm, and is pushin; forward the crops rapidly. Should the present weather continue, barley would be cut by the middle of August, if not sooner. Better weather for the hay crop was never known ; the yield is light, but the best hopes are en tertained of a heavy after-crop. MUSIC. COLOUR MUSIC. By D. D. Jameson. This is a most ingenious attempt to facilitate the acquisition of the art of playing at sight, by substi tuting distinct and definite sensations, which, being the language of nature, are at once understood, for the arbitrary mnemonics in. use. Mr. Jameson, observing the " correlations" which exist between colour arid sound, has a . pkilied them to the art of teaching music, by giving a separate colour to each of the keys of an octave of a pianoforte, so that, in fact, an octave is a prism. Instead of the ordi nary musical notation he employs coloured notes, answering to the coloured keys ; the height of the note indicates the octave, and the length the time— the rests are indicated by the blank spaces. We give the method of teaching in Mr. Jameson's own words : " Teaching by this method is so si-uple, that there is really hat (Ey any thing to bl described. • " The instrument being prepared, the learner should touch keys of the same colour and height as those on the paper; making their length, in time, on the instru ment, equal to their length in space, on the paper; ac centing according to the intensity of colour; and paus ing for times equal to the blank spaces." The method so ingenious, and, at the same time so simple, that we are not surprised when we are told that— • " A child, eight years old, who could play the piano forte, but was previously unacquainted with colour music, was taught in two minutes, to play new sound rAusic at_ oight by_ it." What Hamilton has done for the acquisition of lan-. guages—what Wilhem has done for the acquisition of vocal music, Mr. Jameson has done for instrumental music. We strongly recommend his system, and wish him that success which his talents and ingenuity so richly merit. . To ANGLERS.—The new edition of Walton and Cotton's Angler, or, Contemplative Man's Recreation, hAng a discourse on rivers, fish-ponds. fish, and fishing, with lives of the authors, &c., is illustrated by Major's 76 engravings and wood -cuts. This correct and ele gtntly printed volume is now published by H. Wash bourne, 18, New Bridge-street, in a very handsome and appropriate style of half-binding in morocco, at 125., and in whole morocco at I6s. The former edition, inferior to this, was published at 18s. ITALY.—A correspondent writes on the 4th instant from Bologna:—" A third sentence has been pronounced by the court-martial upon more of the persons compromised in the political events of the province in 1843. It has been sent -under seal to Rome, and .its confirmation is daily expected. It comprises about forty persons, several of whom belong to the higher classes of society. We are informed that there are some condemned to death, but that they are all out of the reach ofjustice, and sentenced in default of appearance." DANTZIC, JULY 2.—The kind of blockade on the Russian frontier often leads to very unpleasant events. Thus, the servant of the Russian superintendent on the Russian frontier, who has sometimes acted as a spy in Prussia, and given information of the smuggling of goods, was lately shot while he was walking with his master. A willow bush, which extended to the place where he was sitting, concealed the murderer, who escaped. It is not ascertained whether a. Prussian or a Russian committed the crime. The ball passed through the man's head, and killed him on the spot. THE LONDON COFFEE AND EATING -HOUSE KEEPERS' ASSOCIATION.—On Monday the 15th half-yearly meeting of the members of the above Association was - held at Ander ton's Hotel, Fleet-street, to receive the report for the past half-year, and to elect officers for the year ensuing, At eight o'clock Mr. Hare, the President, was called to the chair. The report was read by Mr. Abbot, the secretary, from which it appeared that the members of the Association had increased during the past year, and that the profits of the steamboat excursion, the entertainment at the Eagle Tavern, and the ball at Willis's Rooms. had yielded .a profit of nearly 100/., whilst the handsome subscriptions at the dinner by the Mar quis of Westminster (the patron), the chairman (Henry Warburton ' Esq., M.P.), and oth er gentlemen, demanded their thank s . The report was adopted, arid gave great satis faction Mr. Kirton (the late Vice.

All the Paris theatres remained closed on Saturday night, that being the anniversary of the death of the Duke 01 Orleans. The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, to which the fifth election of M. Charles Lafitte for the borough of Louviers was referred, has reported that the offer of M. Charles Lafitte for the branch railway to Louviers having been withdrawn, there is no longer any reason why he should not be admitted to take his seat. The question was expected to come before the Chamber on Monday. The Paris and Lyons Railway Bill, the debate upon which we mentioned several times list week, passed the House of Peers on Saturday with a majority of 75. The quarrel between the Cour Royale and the Council of Advocates has not been adjusted, the Council having resigneo in a body. A new election took place, when all were elected by a majority of 496 to 5. A great many members of the Chamber of Deputies, professors, and other members of the profession, long retired from business, attended to give their votes, and among others M. Gerard de Bury, the oldest mem ber of the French bar, who is now in the 99th year of his age. Accounts from Christiania, of the sth inst., announce that the anniversary of King Oscar's birth-day was observed there with extraordinary rejoicings. The reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, Prince Rupert of Saxe Coburg, and his Royal Consort Princess Cle mentine, have arrived at Vienna on a visit to the Duke Fer dinand of Saxe Coburg. They intend to remain about three weeks in the Austrian capital. In the Court of Bankruptcy the case of William Bromley was further heard, and adjourned at the bankrupt's expense till the 28th of October. In the course 'of the hearing the following dialogue took place. Mr. Sturgeon, counsel for Bromley, assured the Court that the bankrupt's property had cost him upwards of 120,0001., the whole of which will come to the creditors. Sir C. F. Williams--I should be very glad if 120,000 half crowns would come to the creditors. Mr. Humphrey, who represented the assignees, here said that there would not be one shilli ng i n t h e pound. The commission for the Oxford Assizes was opened on the 15th. At ten o'clock, Mr. Serjeant Atcherley took his seat in the Civil Court, and Chief Justice Tindal proceeded to charge the grand jury in the Crown Court at eleven. There are fourteen causes for trial, and the calendar comprises the names of thirty prisoners, who severally stand charged witl: the following offences :—Cutting and stabbing, 1 ; horse stealing, 2 ; larceny, 15 ; highway robbery, 2 ; stealing from the person, 3 ; sheep -stealing, 1 ; manslaughter, 1 - assault on constable and i ssu i ng b ase coin, 2 ; rape, I—the bill in this last case has been ignored by the grand jury. At Bow-street, Mr. Charles Pembroke, of 35, Ely-place, Holborn, was brought up in custody, charged with sending a threatening letter to Mr John Buller Yarde Buller, with in tent to provoke a breach of the peace. The case was taken in a private room, before Mr. Twyford, who ordered the defendant to put in bail, himself in the sum of 4001., and one surety in 2001., to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for twelve months. The bail was found. At Worship-street, four finely-grown, but exceedingly sun burnt young Lancashire women, very neatly and pictu resquely attired, were placed at the bar before Mr Broughton for final examination. They had been charged on a previous day with singing some dolorous ditty, collecting crowds, and begging in the streets. They stated that they had been em ployed in the coal mines, but were thrown out of bread by an Act of Parliament. The clerk, by direction of the magis trate, wrote to their last employer, to know whether their statement was true, and received an answer, stating that great number of young women have within these last few months been deprived of employment by the operation of Lord Ashley's Act for excluding females from coal-mines, and that the statement of the girls was likely to:be true. On reading the letter, Mr. Broughton expressed his conviction of the truth of the prisoners' statement, and ordered a suffi cient sum of money to be given to each of the girls from the office poor-box to carry them comfortably to their native place. The prisoners expressed their gratitude in the warmest terms for the magistrate's kindness, and p rom i se d to set out immediately on teir journey home. COttairt ---rissurohtliZza.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT SLOUGH.—WINDSOR, MONDAY EviouNG.—Thiaafternoen, shortly after two o'clock a very destructive fire broke out in the recently-erected man sion at Upton Park, near Slotigh, the property of Mr. J. F, Bedborough, the extensive builder, of New Windsor. As soon as thelntelligence of the fire reached Windsor two com panies of the Scots Fusilier'Guards, under the command of Colonel Drummond, left Windsor, with the barrack engine, for the scene of conflagration, followed by the two engines from the castle, the Windsor and Eton College engines, and several others from the vicinity; but such was t h e ascend ancy which the flames had obtained, before their arrival, that all attempts (though there was a plentiful supply of water) to preserve the property were totally ineffectual, and three houses were completely gutted, forming, the west-end of Vic toria-terrace. We understand the property is insured to the ,amount of 3,0001. (about one-half of its value) in the London Union Fire Office. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—DoVER, JULY la.— About one o'clock this afternoon a most melancholy loss of life occurred in Dover-bay, by the upsetting of a small pleasure-boat or punt. The party in the boat consisted of Mrs. Bentley, two of her daughters--one about ten, and the other eight years of age —a young gentlemen, said to be the nephew of Mrs. Bentley, but whose name we could not learn, and the two men who werein charge of the boat, named, we believe, Fox and Lewisham. The boat was under sail and tacking about a mile off the land, when she was observed to upset, there being rather a brisk breeze of wind blowing the time. On obs erv i ng th e acc id ent, several b oats were mime diately launched from the beach, but beibre they could get to the sufferers, a fishing smack that was about half a mile to windward bore down, and sent her boat to the spot, The fishermen fortunately picked up Mrs. Bentley and the two men, Fol and Lewisham ; but the' gentleman and the two young ladies had disappeared. Tha boatmen saved thorn. selves by swimming, and it is supposed Mrs. Bentley's clothes kept her °hove water. • Mrs. Bentley was brought on shore almost lifeless ; but on being taken to Mr, Marsh's bathing-house. she was placed in a warm bath, and by the application of the means reeommended by the Humane So ciety, she was fortunately recovered. Mr. and Mrs. Bentley are strangers here, from Preston (we understand), and have been living for some time in lodgings, at Nq. $, Stroud street. Mr. Bentley was absent from pdirer at the time of the melancholy event, he having> gone to Folkestone this morninrby the South , gastern Railway, and was not aware cif tiffs los till he arrived by train late in the afternoon. The iiistreeiing occurrence has cast a gloom over the place, and the beach is even now crowded with persons anxiously in quiring respecting it, ) Notle,,of the bodies. have yet been BIRMINGHAM ELECTION. t o MONDAY EVENING.—To-day this Tory triumph hag finally completed.
