The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all former viecedent ; the artist, the amateur, tho casual observer are all struck with its extraordinay beauty and fidelity of delinea tion,.i.d re unanimous in prtmouncing it the most wonderftil ex hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific disp'ay ar Dusk is unjust ; it should be seenin the calm stillness or the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa cious Lake, to be !Idly appreciated. The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS on Mondays, Tues days, Wednesdays, and Thursdays cont.ucted uy Mr. Godf re y, are upnn a scale of more than usual excellence ; hilt words fail in doingjustice to the awful representation of THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON. Its fearful characteristics are truthfully nourtrayed, but at the same time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic Art, roost delight is predominant over terror: and the 'thousands who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit that Sout.i.lay, •.he Unrivalled Pyrotechnist has achieved a matchless triumph. The Gardens and Zoological Collection are in the most perfect state, ai,d combining so many and interesting features, are by far the most atiraetive lounge in or near the neetrooolit.

I'llotning." l rnt - LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 1844. In the Lords the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Dis , sentients Bill was passed. The Ecclesiastical Courts Bill and the Metropolitan Buildings Bill went through Committee. The Law Courts (Ireland) Bill also went through Committee, with very brief remarks. Important measures now go through the House at railroad speed. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the report of the Committee on the Bill for repealing certain Acts imposing penalties on Roman Catholics. The Bishop of LONDON (we use his own words) "did not wish it to be supposed that he was opposed to the repeal of those penal laws, which pressed not prac tically but in theory only upon the Roman Catholics?' The pious Prelate opposed the measure most strenu ously, because the Bishops had not been consulted, and he then, not openly, but in the style of the Je suits, by inuendos, denounced Sir R. PEEL, for giv ing his support to the Catholic Emancipation Bill. The first time, he said, when the bulwarks of the Protestant Church were broken was when that Bill Was Passed. What a selfish, persecuting, and wealthy crew Sir R. PEEL has to keep in order ! These in tolerant, uncalled-for remarks of this upstart Pre late, the son , of a schoolmaster, will let the per secuted Catholics of Ireland know what mercy they are to expect from the Bench of Bishops ; and, above all, from the Bishop of LONDON, who, if we are to judge from his addresses to the Lon don clergy, is as good a Catholic as Father APHALE, the Bishop of Tuam. Towards the conclusion of the discussion, Dr. BLOMFIELD said he felt justified in the course he had taken by the countenance and ap probation of such of his Right Reverend and Most Reverend Brethren, who had attended to support him. So he was made the mouthpiece of the bench, and not one Liberal Prelate, not one sincere friend of Protestantism, was present to denounce this atrocious attack on seven millions of our fellow-sub jects. Lord BROUGHAM, to his honour, op- Rosed this selfish—this suicidal mania. " One or these penal laws," he said, " which the Bill would repeal, one of these safeguards of the Established Church, imposed a penalty of 200 marks upon every one who attended mass ; yet mass was said in every part of London 'every week, every day, perhaps ; and Catholic churches, some of them of great architectural beauty, were erected in all parts, at the expense of the pious in that persuasion. Would any one attempt to enforce that cruel and absurd statute ?" The Bishop of LONDON would if he had the power. Vie Earl of WICKLOW; a good Protestant, and 1111 upright man, supported the Bill, and only regretted that it was not more comprehensive. Every one but the mouthpiece of the Episcopal Bench supported the measure. The report was received, and the Bill ordered to be committed on Thursday. The Bench of Bishops was nearly upset during the commo tion caused by the Reform Bill, and we believe all the friends of their country, and a vast proportion even of the House of Lords, would be glad to see the lawn sleeves consigned to the fate of Gatton and Old Sarum. These inspectors of the Church say that they have great duties to perform; they have to watch over their flocks and the pastors of their flocks. But somehow or other they neglect both flocks and pastors for seven months in the year ; give dinners and parties in London, and are remark , able only for obstructing liberal measures of every description which come before them. Lord LYNn uuRsT And Sir R. PEEL see through their manoeuvres, and will bear with them no longer. The House adjourned at Eight o'clock. The Commons met at twelve yesterday, when several Bills were read a third time and passed. On the House re-assembling at Five, Sir JAMES GRAHAM asked Lord INGESTRE to postpone his motion relative to Captain WARNER'S invention, owing to the absence of Sir R. PEEL. The motion was postponed till this day at five o'clock. . A brief discussion took place on the depressed state of the coopers' trade owing to the late tariff, but it led to no result. On the motion of the Earl of LINCOLN, leave was given to bring in a Bill to form a terrace between Westminster and Blackfriars-bridges. The Bill was not to be pressed this session. _ Mr. MACKINNON called the attention of the Go vernment to the report of the Committee on the Health of Towns in 1842, and asked whether, in the course of next session, they intended to introduce any measure on the subject? Sir JAMES GRAMANI did not give any explicit answer. Mr. PETER Ijoiiniwicx made a motion about Don CARLOS, and was supported by two Members and opposed by thirty-one. The House was shortly after wards counted oat, only thirty-seven Members being present, and adjourned till Twelve o'clock this day. The " Insolvent Debtors Bill, to amend an Act passed in the sth and 6th yeari of the reign of her present MAJESTY, intituled An Act for the Relief cf Insolvent Debtors,' and to limit the power of arrest upon final process," was, on the 26th inst., brought down from the Lords, where it had been a subject of much controversy and some personal remonstrances, to the House of Commons. A print of this Bill, in the condition in which it left the Lords, is now before us. It would occupy tou much time and space to indicate the various amendments upon the original draft of the Bill, which have been introduced in the Upper House, or to point out their noble authors. Yet, as the public cannot but feel a lively curiosity to know what are the main enactments of the last legislation on so important a question as the mode in which it is proposed that insolvent debtors shall here after be dealt with, we will endeavour to give such a brief analysis of its clauses as may answer that purpose. The preamble of the Bill before us having recited the sth and 6th VICTORIA, c. 116; clauses 1 and 2 declare and enact, that notwithstanding any thing to the contrary in such Act contained, the notices thereby required to be given to creditors in the Lon don Gazette, or newspapers, previous to presenting petitions for protection from process—shall here after be dispensed with ; and such form of petition shall be according to a form specified in one of the three schedules of this Bill ; and the petition and schedule to be annexed thereto, according to the former Act, to be in the form of another of such schedules ;—to be sworn in like manner as any other affidavits in bankruptcy may now be, and to be an nexed to such petition at the time of filing the same. It has been erroneously imagined that the present measure is altogether to repeal the existing Act. But how unfounded this notion is may be inferred from the constant adoption, in the Bill before us, of such parts of the Act 5 and 6 Victoria as it does not expressly repeal. Clauses 3 and 4 enact, that from and after the filing of such petition, the Commissioners shall (and this is an important variation from the existing Act, as to such notice) "forthwith, after such notice shall have been filed, cause notice of the filing thereof to be given, in such manner as he shall direct, to the creditors named in schedule of petitioner, resident within the United Kingdom, and whose debts shall amount, respectively, to Si." and to be advertised in the London Gazette, or papers circulating within the county wherein petitioner shall reside ;" and the Com missioner shall thereby appoint a public sitting of the Court (adjournable, at his pleasure, from time to time) for examination of petitioners and choice of creditors' assignee. The creditor to be allowed, at discretion of Commissioner (who may reject or re move any person so chosen as assignee if he shall ap pear to him unfit for such office), to amend his schedule or correct any misrepresentation therein : the property of petitioner to vest in the assignee or assignees for the time being, by virtue of his or their appointment. Every such assignee is to be deemed an officer of the Court wherein the petition is filed, and to be liable to its control. (Power reserved to Lord Chancellor, or Judges and Commissioners of Court of Bankruptcy in Lon don, if authorised by his Lordship, to make such orders and regulations for the security of petitioners' property as they may judge fitting.) On this peti tion being filed, the Commissioner is to have the like power to seize property of petitioner, and examine him and other persons, as he now has by law in bankruptcy cases. The next clause, 5, whatever may be said for or against its principle, certainly does away with an invidious and unreasonable distinction which bore hard on the less fortunate debtor, under former Acts, who had not succeeded in saving himself from personal caption. It enacts that, " any prisoner in execution at the time of passing this Act, or any prisoner at any subsequent time in execution upon any judgment obtained in any action for the recovery of any debt" —may be a petitioner for protection from process ; and such petitioner shall be protected by an interim order from being detained in prison, upon any judg ment in any action for recovery of any debt men tioned in his schedule ; and if so detained, Commis sioner may order his discharge : but all his former liabilities to cease after lapse of the time mentioned in such interim order. Clauses 6,7, and 8 are also very important. If petitioner be in custody, no being entitled to be discharged, he may yet be brought up by warrant under the Conlin - issioner's hand, directed to the person having him in custody, and be heard at any sitting of the Court, either publicly or privately ; all expenses of such hearing to be paid out of his estate. In the event of a petitioner's death, the Commissioner may proceed in the matter of his petition, for distribution of his property. Wearing ap parel, bedding, working tools, and implements of a petitioner, not exceeding, in the whole, the value of 201., may be excepted by petitioner upon operation of the sth and 6th Victoria, and of this Act. Clauses 9 to 19 regard the powers, duties, trusts, &c., of as signees ; and these clauses again, in some res pects are considerable modifications of the Act just quoted. Thus : the official assignee to act as sole assignee until creditors' assignee ap pointed to sell property of petitioner, if Com. missioner shall so order, and make such allow ance to petitioner for his support as Commissioner shall direct :—the property so vested in the oflicia assignee to g. to his successor in office ; and if a petition be dismissed, " all sales - and dispositions of property, and payments duly made, and all Wier acts theretofore done, according to this Act, or the before recited provisions of sth and 6th Victoria, to be good and valid." So, again, assignees may execute powers which petitioner might have executed for his own benefit. Where a lease, or agreement for a house, has been accepted by the assignees, or the benefit thereof as part of his property, petitioner shall not be liable for the rent ; and in the event of such _ . assignees declining, on being applied to, to accept such lease, &c., the lessor may apply to the Court for the Commissioner's order in the case, either for ac ceptance of the same, or its delivery to lessor. As signees may sue in their own names—make composi tions for debts—submit differences to arbitration, under consent of major part of the creditors of the estate, and after a certain notice published, after hereby prescribed forms. Creditors to vote according to, and in respect of, the balances due to them on account fairly stated. Where the petitioner is bene- .'eft:sovr 0111.w4,.

The King and Queen of the French on Saturday evening received the Austrian Ambassador, the Bavarian Minister, the Minister of Justice, Duke Decazes, Counts de Montaliret and St. Aginan, Generals Sebastiani, Dode de la Brunerie, and Fabvier, and Martineau des Chenez. The Duke de Nemours had arrived at the Tuileries. The King and Queen of the Belgians left Neuilly on Sa turday for Brussels. A letter from Naples, of the 16th of July, states, that the third son of the King of Naples, the Count de Castro Gio vanni, is dead. Twenty-one of the Calabrian insurgents, who came from Corfu, have been sentenced to death, and six have been already executed. Accounts from the east of Algiers, brought by the steame r Cerbere, which ca me i n on the 17th, state that a party of Kabyles, amounting to about 500, lately attacked the camp of Bathena, between Constantina and Biskara. The force in the camp, though not strong, repulsed the enemy with con siderable loss, for they left twenty dead on the field, while the French did not lose one man. On the 20th, some slight shocks of an earthquake were felt at Louvie-Juson;in the Basses Pyrenees. The Lyons journals of Friday speak of the heat there as having been for several days of unusual intensity. On that morning the thermometer stood at 26 degrees Centigrade, 79 Fareuheit ; but at four in the afternoon of Thursday, it was facing the north, and in the shade, at 32i C., 90i F. This is nearly the highest degree of heat in that climate, as, according to the records kept at the Observatory of Lyons, it appears that the utmost point to which the thermometer rose, during the seven years from 1833 to 1839 inclusively, was 33 6-10ths C., 93 F. At Athens,inst., on the 10th the thermometer m ar k e d i n the shade 36 degrees Reaumur,ll3 Fahrenheit. The inhabitants of Constantinople were treated on the Bth inst. with rather a novel spectacle for that city. AM. Co marchi made a balloon ascent in the presence of the Sultan and his court, and an immense assemblage of persons. The ascent was perfectly successful. The Commandant-General of the Prussian Guards has is sued, says a German paper, an order interdicting the soldiers and non-commissioned officers up to the rank of -sergeant major, from beconlipg members of temperance societies, upon the ground that the rules of these societies forbid in toto the use of liquors which, if taken in moderation, are beneficial to the men, and at times even indispensable. According to a—letter from Belgrade, the Christians of Bosnia are still suffering great persecution. It was hoped, when Kiamil Paclia was appointed Governor of the province, that a more humans and enlightened policy would be adopted, as he had been twice ambassadoriu Europe, and was thought to be free from sentiments of religious hatred. It appears, however, that he has adhered to the coarse adopted by his predecessors. Augsburg4 Gazette quotes a letter from Smyrna, of the Ist, stating in the most positive terms that in the island of Rhodes and other places the Turks had formed a plot for the massacre of the Chrisrians at last Easter. The execution of the plot appears to have been prevented by an accidental discovery. LAW AND POLICE. The trials for arson at Ipswich terminated on the 29th. There were 21 cases for trial, in which 28 persons were charged with the crime, and of these 15 were convicted, 12 acquitted, and one turned Queen's evidence. At Guildhall, Michael Magnier, a City policeman, No. 368, was brought before Mr. Alderman Hunter, by order of the Police Commissioner, charged with entering a house on his beat in the night time, and attempting to commit an as sault upon a girl aged 18. After the girl had given her evi dence, which left no doubt of the prisoner's intention, he was remanded, at his own request, till he had legal assistance. Wm. Irish, George Everard, James Everard, John Rut land, and Richard Wm. Reeves, were brought up at Bow street, charged with havi ng violently assaulted Henry May nard, on the morning of Friday, the 26th of July. The as saults complained of arose out of disputes between the Wa termen's Company and the Free Watermen's Company, which are detailed in the police report. Mr. Twyford bound each of the defendants in their own recognizances of 20/., and or dered them to find two sureties each for 10/., to answer the charge at the next Westminster sessions. Two persons imme diately became bail for them, and they were discharged. At Marylebone Mrs. Mary Levy and Miss Mary Levy, her daughter, were charged with ringing the bell at the house of Mr. Bower, solicitor, Welbeck-street, without any lawful excuse for so doing. Mr. Bower's evidence went to show that on the 2d of May last, he opposed Mr. Levy, the hus band of the elder defendant, under the Bankrupt Act, upon his applying for his discharge, and since then he had been continually annoyed by a violent knocking and ringing at the door, and on the said door being opened, there was no one actually at the spot, but the defendants, who had been seen walking to and fro, were a short distance off. The de fendants were fined 20s. each, and cautioned with regard to annoying Mr. Bower again. A man of the name of Cole was charged at Worship-street with cutting and maiming with intent to kill, Mr. Joseph Gill, the landlord of the George the Fourth public-house, in Old. street-road, and fully committed for trial. C 0 =LT —PAS= 0N.A.8 The Duke of Wellington has invited a distinguished circle to meet their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Duchess of Gloucester, and the Hereditary Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Meoklenburgh Strelitz, at the Drand entertainment to be gi ven by th e N o bl e and Gallant uke this evening, at Apsley House. The party will ex ceed thirty. A grand concert of vocal and instrumental music is to succeed the banquet, all the leading artists of the Italian Opera being engaged in the programme. The Duke returns to town at an early hour this morning from visiting the Queen at Windsor Castle. The Duke of Buccleuch returned to town on Monday morning from Leamington Spa, where the Noble Duke went to see his sister, Lady Anne Elizabeth Scott, who has for some days past been suffering from indisposition. Lady Mar garet Marsham and the Earl of Courtown left last week. Count and Countess Zichy Ferraris and suite have arrived at the Clarendon Hotel from Milan. Viscount Morpeth returned to Castle Howard on Saturday last. His Lordship, accompanied by Lady Mary Howard, was expected to arrive at Trentham, Staffordshire, yesterday, to be present at the nuptials of Lady Elizabeth Leveson Gower and the Marquis of Lorn. Viscount Cranbourne, attended by Dr. E. C. Johnson, left, on Tuesday, Arlington-street, for the seat of his noble father the Marquis of Salisbury, Hatfield House, Herts, where his Lordship remains a short time previous to making a tour through Norway and Sweden, and afterwards Russia, on his way to China. His Lordship and medical attendant will necessarily be absent, at least, 12 months from this country. His Excellency Monsieur de Novossilizoff, Governor of Moscow, has arrived at Mivart's Hotel from Russia. The Russian General Baron W. Knarring and suite have also arrived at Mivart's Hotel from St. Petersburgh. Several of the distinguished Russian officers who have ar rived in this country by the Russian frigate Aurora, are at present sojourning at Crawley's Hotel.

The above 212 vessels brought 12,890 passengers, being an in crease of 7,654 upon the number arrived in June, 1843. During the last quarter, ending 30th June, the number of passengers arrived was 25,098 ; being a large increase upon last year. At Quebec, on the contrary, down to June 22d, only 8,827 passengers had arrived thi s season, b eing 1,171 less than last year to same date. The writ fo - r Cirencester was proclaimed on Monday, and the day of nomination fixed for Friday. Lord Villiers is con fident of success. The Committee of the House of Commons has given in a report against pulling down Westminster-bridge and building a new one. Owing to the boisterous weather, the promenade at the London Botanic Gardens has been postponed till Thursday.

Suits are not to be abated by the death or removal of assignees. Under clause 16, there is this declaratory enactment which strikes us as being very just and equitable in itself, and calculated to get rid of a vast amount of pettifogging and vexa tious intermeddling by greedy attorneys of a particu lar class in their profession ; namely,—goods in pos session, order, or disposition of petitioner whereof he was reputed owner, to be deemed his property. No distress is to be available for more than one year'§ rent; voluntary preference frau dulent and void as against assignees, to whom this Act extends the provisions of 3 Geo. IV. c. 39. Under subsequent clauses, warrant of attorney and cognovit actionem are not to be acted upon against property of insolvent petitioner, after filing his peti tion. Final order (as given under the third schedule) to protect the person of petitioner from process in re spect of debts or sums, particularly mentioned in clause 21, but specification of his debts shall not be necessary in such final order. Of a prisoner in execution at time of filing petition, if detained for any debt or matter in respect of which his final order protects him from process, the Commissioner may order the discharge. Of the other clauses (in all 49 in number) the effect of the most important is —that petitioners, not being traders, or being traders, but owing sums respectively not exceeding 3001., can petition—if in custody—to be discharged by a Com missioner's order ; and, it may also be added, that there is no remedy given under them for a " vexatious defence," nor power to detain per sons under remands, or debts under 201. For instance, under clause 37, the marginal note of its effect runs thus :—" Persons in execution at the time of passing this Act, on judgment on any Court, in any action for any debt, where the sum recovered shall not exceed 201. (exclusive of costs), shall be discharged on application to a Judge in one of the Superior Courts, or to the Court in which judg ment is obtained. The estate of the debtor dis charged to continue liable, as if he had not been taken or charged in execution." On the whole, it is clear that the decisions of Judges and Commissioners in bankruptcy, as a Con temporary has well observed, must be much more uniform in their bearing, and sound in principle, than they have been in the conflicting decisions under the existing Act, if they are adequately to protect the equitable interests of creditors under this Bill. Too much power seems to be given to the assignees; too little security taken for, or penalties inflicted on, the fraudulent misconduct in debtors. By the Britannia, which arrived at Liverpool on Monday morning, accounts were received from Philadelphia to the sth instant of the extraordinary outrages which had attended the renewal of the " Hiberno-American" riots in that city. Our readers will, no doubt, remember the mournful de scription which, about the month of May last, it became our duty to publish of the sanguinary tumult that had, just previously, disgraced the same locality, in consequence of the hostile feelings that had long subsisted between one section of the citizens, called the " Native Americans," and another composed of Irish Romanists, settled or established there under the protection of the Government of Philadelphia ; but not much iden tified, it should seem, with the regard and the respect of a people, to live among whom so many of these emigrants had voluntarily quitted their native land. In the former instance, however, the resulting casu alties were by no means so serious in number or ex tent as to the sacrifice of human life, as those which were destined to distinguish the sth instant, though far greater with respect to the destruction of public offices and private property. Under an alarm, real or assumed, but natural enough after the events of last May, and kept up by anonymous intimations to that effect, received by the priests, the Irish Romanist party assumed that there was an intention to recommence the work of destroying their chapels, &c. Among other preparations which they had made for such an event, it was soon discovered that they had collected more than eighty stands of fire-arms, which, togetheriwith a very large quantity of amunition and military stores (such as gunpowder, bullets, bayonets, &c ), they had placed in a magazine. This depository they formed in one of their own churches, very secretly, as it would appear ; but (which is the most extraordinary part of the story) they had also organised a military corps, and placed at its head a brother of the officiat ing priest of the chapel. Under what sanction or authority, it will naturally be asked, had this extreme step been not only attempted but accomplished ? So far as the accounts enable us, at present, to judge, we may answer under the express authority (though covertly given to Mr. D uris) of Governor PORTER, for the loan of some of the arms from the State arsenal, and for the drafting of some of the men for the protection of the edifice which was said to be menaced. We will not follow the conflicting speculations of the American journalists as to the greater or less degree of neces sity which existed for these defensive precautions. The consequences which ensued upon them were dreadful. For the particulars of the popular move ment excited by the discovery that such precautions had been taken—of the proceedings adopted by the municipal authorities for repressing the furious tumult thereby created—and of the sanguinary collision which occurred after the seizure of the arms and the evacuation of the chapel by the " Hiberno- Greens," between the State volunteers and the Philadelphia populace, we must refer the reader to the narrative we have already given. But we may state in general terms, that the "Native Americans" were exasperated, in the first place, by the evasive surrender, on the part of the Irish Romanists, of twelve stands of arms. When the native party detected this duplicity, on finding up wards of seventy additional stands, they obeyed their fatal propensity to take the law into their own hands. For upwards of three days they besieged, or fought, or fired upon the other party. The other party retaliated with great energy and resolution. When the majesty of the law had at last vindi cated itself, after that feeble and tardy man ner which seems its inevitable characteristic in the United States, from thirteen to seventeen persons were found to be killed, and more than fifty wounded, and of these some mortally. Old men and young boys are among the victims. It cannot be denied that the imprudent zealotry of such publications as the New York Freeman's Journal had done much to exasperate—or, at least, to afford rea sonable grounds of apprehension to—the " Native Americans." For that journal, on the occasion of the disturbances, had significantly intimated " that the Romanists, if thwarted, wanted neither the dis position nor the power to burn the city and massacre the inhabitants." To this imprudence—if we should not call it "atrocity"—the fatal discovery of the re served stands of arms was calculated to impart an im- portance, and a meaning, which the mind of the opposite party would not be slow to receive. Al though tranquillity, at the date of the last advices, was restored, numerous arrests continued to be made in the city (which swarmed with United States' troops), and explanatory appeals from both parties. This is one exhibition of that demoralising weak ness of the American Executive which, if it be not in the mean time replaced by more vigorous institu. . _ tions, such as shall give efficiency to law, and force to authority, must, at no distant period--say in an other half century—overwhelm in its own decay and toppling ruin the entire fabric of the Federal Go- vernment of the United States. But here is yet another. Coincidently, almost, with the popular excesses we have just described as having occurred in Philadel- phia, a popular murder of the most brutal and san• guinary character, has been perpetrated, in defiance of the law, within the precincts of its own strongh o ld, _ _ - and in violation of the solemn pledge of the highest constituted authorities of the State. A wretched en- thusiast or impostor, proclaiming himself a prophet, and announcing, with many absurd, and many more blasphemous pretensions, a divine mission from Hea ven, had recently founded a credulous sect, who call ;hemselves " Mormonites." The people :of Illinois, not content with the legitimate - arms of discouragement (examination, argument, and ridicule), have long anathematised their heresy as a subject fit, not for trial, but for vengeance and punishment, from whatever quarter administered—lay, secular, or ecclesiastical. Though little eminent themselves, we apprehend, for real common-place moral qualities, _ _ . _ _ or fair dealing and neighbourly good faith in their I social habits, these Illinois purists, with an odium theologicunz against the" Mormonite leaders more in verate, though somewhat more reasonable, than that of CALVIN against SERVETUS, waged a pitiless and unremitting warfare of annoyance against the pro phet (the poor man's "once familiar name" was no more romantic or prelatical than " JOE SMITii"), his brother, his disciples, and his dupes. They dispersed their meetings, pulled down their hovels, destroyed their crops, and hunted the wretched " Mormonites" from one district and one State to another, until, worn out by their buffetings, and persecutions, a,nd priva tions, these two sylvan pontiff 3--" JOE SMITH" and his brother, with two- or , three followers, surrendered themselves to the authorities, on condition of receiving, until and during trial;the protection of the State. Governor FORD pledged his undertaking for the observance of these terms, and they were con ducted to the prison of Carthage. On the following night an armed mob, with their "faces blackened, broke into the prison, rushed into the cell where these fugitives were secured, and deliberately shot them to death, the miserable leader being pierced by no less than 30 balls Before the people of the United States abandon themselves to any further indulgence of their beset ting passion for interposing in the domestic feuds of foreign independent States, whether at Mexico, or in TeXas, or in Canada, they would really do well first to uphold and vindicate the power of law, and the dignity of Government, at home, instead of assigning the absence of the one, or the want of the other, as a plea for their intermeddling with both abroad. Accounts from Madrid of the 23d state that the Court was expected to return to the capital on the 6th or 7th of August. The two Ministers, who had gone to Barcelona, were to return on the 28th of July. The Three per Cents. were done at 261 for cash, and 26-a at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 18i at 60 days. The Paris papers bring no intelligence of import ance. There had been no later arrival from the African coast, but we learn, froM another source, that the Prince DE JOIN VILLE'S squadron is not yet wanted at Tangiers. It sailed from Cadiz, as we stated yes terday, for that port, and after a very brief stay re turned on the same day to its former station. Some of the Opposition journals contain articles on the speeches made by Lord ABERDEEN and Lord CLA RENDON, relative to the slave-trade, but we find in them nothing worth remark, unless it be a less rabid tone towards this country. "It may be seen from the speech of the Foreign Secretary," says the National, " that the British Government considers it necessary to take into account the just' irritation produced throughout France by .the inquisitorial proceedings of the British navy, but it will not for that reason renounce the right of search ; and wishes merely to organize it in such a manner as to avoid complaints." On Monday, the third and last day of the July fetes, the Bourse was closed, and also the Post-office at half-past twelve, so that there are few particulars of the proceedings. They were likely, however, to pass off without any disturbance. The following are extracts from the papers : " The merchants of Paris who trade with La Plata, either as exporters, commission agents, or manufacturers, t o th e number of 117, have (says the o nstitutionnel) signed a peti tion calling the attention of the Chambers to the deplorable situation of the French at Monte Video and Buenos Ayres, and the prolonged interruption of the French commerce in that part of America. " The Globe mentions a report that the British Cabinet has obtained an important concession from the Austrian Go vernment. viz., the reduction of a penny in the pound on the duty on cotton threads. "The Provincial Council of Liege has voted a petition to the King of the Belgians, deploring that his Cabinet did not prevent the late Prussian Decree, whereby Belgian iron is struck with a prohibitive duty of fifty per cent. Tho Council declares that this duty deprives Belgium of the markets of the Zollverein for the benefit of the English, who alone (says the Council) from the cheapness of their produce, may, notwithstanding its inferior quality, supply Germany with iron. "A letter from Dresden states that some disturbance took place on the 20th, among the workiiien on the Saxo-Silesian railroad. They were paid for their work as had been agreed on by contract, but they found the sum too small, and about a hundred entered the city, and collected in front of the hotn . .e of the contractor. The next day the same scene took place, but with the addition of some disorders; a tavern was pil laged and torn down." THIS DAYS NEWS UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.) John Lynch and Sarah Lynch were charged with creating a riot and disturbance in the shop of Mr. W. Mouls, publi can, of Newington-butts ; and Sarah Lynch was further charged with violently assaulting Mr. Mouls, when at the station-house. The prisoners came into the front of the bar and called tr some beer, and soon after commenced quarrelling with the company, and their conduct was so violent that they created a mob of upwards of 200 persons round the house, and it was with the.utmost difficulty that the police could convey them to the station-house. The male prisoner was ordered to find bail to keep the peace for six months, and the female prisoner was fined 10s., or seven days' imprisonment in the House of Correction. The prisoners were locked up in default. Johh Bolter was charged with unruly conduct in the gal lery of the Surrey Theatre, and throwing oranges on the stage.—Fined 2s. 6d. Several persons were fined in the sum of 10s. for causing obstructions on the pavement, by placing baskets of fruit for sale. _-- ---.

We had rather a large show of Monday's unsold samples of English Wheat, while the demand for that article was in a very sluggish state at barely previous rates. In foreign Wheat so little was doing that the prices were almost nominal. Barley and Malt were a slow sale, and might have been pur chased on lower terms. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour, were about stationary. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. Oats. Flour English 1,780 qrs. 290 qrs. 20 qrs. 2,070 sacks. 1ri5h.....„. - - 8,340 - Foreign. ..... - Malt. 2,400 qrs.

SUICIDE OF A CLERGYMAN.—Within the last few days the people of Gravesend have been painfully excited by the self-destruction of the Rev. G. Harris, minister of one of the churches in the City. Tht unfortunate gentleman, who was about 48 years of age, left town last Saturday week with his lady and two daughters, in the hopes that a change of air would benefit his health, lie having, for the last three months, been in a very desponding state of mind. From in quiries made respecting the melancholy occurrence, it ap pears that at a late hour on Fridays night- , he retired to his bedchamber with his wife, Mrs. Harris retiring to rest first. A few seconds, however, had barely elapsed before she heard a heavy fall in the room. She immediately rose, and per ceiving Mr. Harris lying on the floor, promptly got out of bed, and then made the awful discovery that he had laid vio lent hands on himself. The police were instantly called in, when the lamented gentleman was found to have inflicted a mortal gash in his throat with a razor, which was discovered on the top of the drawers; and although Mr. Sanders, sur- geon, of High-street, was soon in attendance, and every means were resorted to to save his life, all proved ineffectual, and in less than a quarter of an Lour he ceased to exist. An inquest was held by Mr. Carttar, one of the Coroners for Kent, on the body, and a verdict of " Temporary insanity" returned. The remains of the late lamented Dowager Coun tess of Leicester were interred tt Longford Hall, Derbyshire, on Monday, in the presence of her deceased Ladyship's nearest relatives. The Earl and Countess of Albemarle, who were to have come to town en route to Goodwood, are stay ing at Quiddenham Hall, in retirement, in consequence of her Ladyship's demise. The llouseten adjourned until Five o'clock. MOVE Y AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. A very small business was done in Cotton at Liverpool yes terday, but there was no change in prices.

The Committee of the South American Bondholders have had a further correspondence with the agent of the Govern ment of New Granada, M. Mosquera, resident in this country, upon the subject of the too long delayed payment of the interest due from New Granada, upon that portion of the Colombian Loans assigned by consent to the republic before named. It will be recollected that so far back as March, 1842, an agreement was entered into by the agent s o f th e bondholders, under which terms were named for the settlement of their claims, but up to the present moment not a dollar has yet been handed over to the foreign creditors of New Gre nada. M. Mosquera admits that he has received no orders from his Government to pay over any sums to those who have so long standing claims on that country. It is not, we believe, to be denied, but that there are some assets here, but at the same time it can hardly be credited that a sufficient sum has yet been received to pay anything like a dividend to the holders of New Granada Bonds, the dividends upon which have been in arrear since the month of May, 1826. Still it is conceived that M. Mosquera nitht, without a breach of his official duty, have told the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders the actual amount that had been received by him, in aid of a fund for paying a portion of the interest upon the stock allocated to the Republic. A meeting of the shipping interests is at the present moment being held at the Hall of Commerce, to receive a report from the Committee of the Ship-owners Society touching various matters connected with this im portant branch of the mercantile marine. At pre sent we are only enabled to say that the attention of all those interested in ships, colonies, and commerce, should be directed to the report which was brought forward this afternoon. A meeting of the South Sea Proprietors is now being held to consider the propriety of accepting the terms of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, as they have already appeared in The Sun. The proprietors are ready to agree to the first proposition—the Guarantee Fund completion—but will take time to decide upon another point—the future management of the South Sea Stock, and Annuities—and the countenance of the Company should be given before coming to a definite conclusion. The Directors of the Bank of England are ready to take the management of the South Sea Stock at the reduced charge. The Funds are dull to-day. The Tahiti affair affords a pretext for keeping the market a little flat, though an amicable arrangement is generally predicted. C onso l s are 99a for Money and Time.

PREPARATIONS FOR A GRAND FETE AT DIEPPE.-- BRIGATON, TUESDAY EVENDIG.—We learn by the arrival of the General Steam Navigation Company's packets from Dieppe, that the Dieppois are making the most. extensive preparations to celebrate the erection of a statue to the memory of Admiral Duquesne. The King of the French has accepted an invitation from the Dieppe authorities to be present at the ceremony, which is to take place at the latter end of next month. The fete would have taken place earlier, but the King is desirofis of waiting till the accouchement of the Princess de Joinville, which is expected in about a fortnight. We understand there will be three days' rejoicing. All the spare troops from the north of France are to be present, and several ships of war are ex pected in the roads to salute his Majesty on his arrival. Steamers will run daily between Brighton and Dieppe during August and September. BRIGHTON, TUESDAY, SIX O'CLOCK, P.M.—Soon after twelve o'clock this morning a stiff breeze sprung up, and the sea was considerably agitated, and in the course of the afternoon the hull of the John o' Gaunt, the vessel de stroyed by Captain Warner, was seen drifting with th e w i n d. Hundreds of persons followed its progress down Channel, and at this hour a large portion of the devoted vessel is drifting just off the Chain-pier, and in the course of a n h our w ill, i n all probability, be on Lore. There are thousands of persons on the beach, anxiously waiting to examine the hull of the ship. Captain Pechell's fears respecting the danger to vessels going down Channel will now, of course, loe removed. We are sorry to learn the illness of Lord Powers court, the son-in-law of the Earl of Roden, who has been residing some time at Ems, for thebenefit of his health. - IAIPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE. OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at Twelve o'clock. The Lords' Amendments to the Kingston -upon-Hull Docks Bill was read and agreed to. The Ramsden's Estate Bill, Lady Le Despencer's Es tate Bill, and Harris's Estate Bill, were severally read a third time and passed. Hough's Divorce Bill was read a second time. The Grand Canal (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Spirits (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. -The Piccadilly Improvement Bill was read a third time and passed. The Woods and Forests Accounts Bill was read a third time and passed, The Clerks to Attorneys Bill was read a third time and passed. On the motion for the third reading of the Consoli dated Fund (Appropriation) Bill, Capt. BERNAL rose to oppose the motion. He could not help complaining that they were required to attend there merely to regiaer the acts of the Government.— (Hear, hear.) He referred especially to the circumstance of the House being counted out last night. He believed the motion for counting the House was directed particu larly against a motion which he had on the paper ; but so determined was he to bring forward that motion in the course of this session, that he would take every op portunity of obstructing the Government measures in order to accomplish his object. Sir J. GRAHAM extremely regretted that the Hon. Member should have taken offence at the circumstance which he referred to. So far as he was concerned. it was always his wish to do all in his power to give Hon. Members every opportunity of bringing forward 'notions which they had on the paper ; but it was extremely dif ficult to kecp a House at that period of the session. Mr. AGLIONBY said the Right Hon. Baronet usually exhibited, he admitted, the greatest courtesy, but it was extremely inconvenient when Hon. Members who sup ported the Government moved that the House should be counted. Mr. M. GIBSON also complained of a motion which he had on the paper being delayed by the circum stance of the House being counted ; and said he thought the Government were responsible for the House being counted, if they did not themselves endeavour to pre vent it. Mr. CRIPPS denied that he was a Government counter.—(Hear, hear.) He wished to absolve the Go vernment from all share of responsibility ; but with a House of thirty-three Members, he thought it would not be right to raise an Irish debate, which would probably be of an angry character. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. The Report of the Tralee Navigation and Harbour Bill was brought up, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The order of the day for the second reading of the Juvenile Offenders' Bill was read for the purpose of being discharged. The report on the South Sea Company Bill was brought up, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.
