The illoniteur of Friday publishes the following dis r"hes from Marshal Bugeaud, detailing his i°llB opera against th e com bi ne d A ra b an d M o orish armies, eM c onfirming his return to the entrenched camp of ‘ Magrena : • " Oued Bon Eurda (to the south of Maghrnia), July 15, 1844.

On the 9th I ascended ere for about five leagues, and encamped on the spot re Abd-fl•Kader had stopped for about two months. object in this advance was to derange his plans, to fore bis deyra into Morocco, to favour the return of the emi r_sh.t tribes who appear to be very weary of the life they zn and, in fine, to consume or destroy the grain sown by sa"°sel-Kader and his followers, as we:las the silos which, it said, he has collected in the valley of Guemfonda. A L' Before reaching this valley, we fell in with the scouts of ess w s el-Kader. They entered into conversation with our e l7los, and Colonel Jussuf himself advanced to enter into I s ZYersation with their netcf. These people manifested an ss 'nation to desert, and, ct, an officer, chief of a hun y,eci Men, came over to us. All of them promised to return hun g the night with some of their comrades. In the evening, at the entrance of the valley, the cavalry 41kbil-el-Kader re-appeared, and some spahis to enter into nv ersittion with them. th The Arab officer who had deserted, and the two chief of t ; s i e Beni A mer w h o h a d a b an d one d t h e camp o f the Emir in g, informed us that the deyra, whiCh was on the U sed it Zekera, had advanced further into Morocco, and was, was thought, encamped at Aiown Sidi Mellonk, near the P of the Morocco men. On the morning of the 11th I penetrated into the moun- Eaitss towards the south. I knew that the number of our : Te ignuit tribes had gone in that direction, and would pa e t a tt : 4 1" Y have These stopped near the are fountain about Ratwel zelai ven M B atm & fountains or I thirtee n to the Westward of Ouchda. tstVwas preceded by my cavalry, supported by three bat ns under the orders of General Bedeau. At six in the Morning the videttes of the cavalry perceived before them a Party of e m i grants , who, fearing to follow the direct track of the valley, had proceeded through the rougher country ou r cavalry pursued them, but were received with a brisk fire of m us k etry from:behind some craggy rocks, and w hi c h favour e d the retreat of the body, with their troops and . 01 1ggage. " Two squadrons of chasseurs and a party of spahis alighted and stormed the rocks, w hi c h t h ey carried," although de fended. inch by inch. The combat lasted three-quarters of an hour, at the end of w h ic h a ll the flocks had escaped, our men only being able to capture about 300 ad " The en em y l e f t 30 dead on the field; . our loss was one killed and three wounded. General Bedeau had by this time come up with the infantry, r and th e di smounted cavalry were able to withd raw. hde enemy did t follo w ; they felt happy at havi ng es r " Cnfirtunately, c w ap e e no had no previ ous acqua i n t anc e with the country, a n d no guide that could b e re li e d on ; therefore .u e fearla of w an t o f water during the extreme heat prevented e „ .ea r marching f orwards in the track of this emigration. We Ithe z r n e taft ‘ erwards that it would have l e d us t o th e deyra of tiver, ;tll.iehmir, who w as on l y a f ew l eagues o ff on a sma ll must fall into the Mouilha. This want of knowledge of the country and of the character of the inha bitants necessarily causes incertitude and hesitation in our nanceuvres. It was impossible for me to know even approxi ntely at what distance I was from wells or springs, where t ees supp ose d t h e great mass of the people had ret i red. of our A ra b s h aving talked w i th the enemy ' s h orse - Ten, inferred from what they said that the Morocco would come back to the plain of Ouenda. This ,4s7Port, though uncertain, contributed to determine me to march rearward, not being willing to risk losing the ,s e inci l'ell for the accessory. Nevertheless I resolved not to ~ueleoence my- retreat till the evening of the 12th, and to s ' l l on the following morning before daybreak two ham.

They belonged to the Mahias, a tribe of w ar. I.° „r,fteo desert, who had sent a contingent to the holy poet these men followed with evident timidity. Only a Passed the ambuscade, the others stopped, and began reat I hastened to give the signal agreed on. The s cPladrons of chasseurs, under the command of chef eyes Iloudailles, came out, and charged rapidly; but, 4 4 te er rapid was their course, it was not till after three <i7s. . v s of an hour that a detachment, commanded by %rut Jell, could reach the enemy on the left. The Arabs th en "g before them only 40 chasseurs, turned round, and !as er a very .serious combat took place, which, by dint of 111 Q " the part of our forty brave fellows, turned stuied.U• favour. The Arabs had fifteen men and six horses little con had one chasseur killed, and two wounded. This th e vaioenflict ought to give our enemies a very high idea of y °f our chasseurs. It is an advantage, undoubted ; the t ot I regret that this charge was pushed so far, without s m t' e of some import an t success . 'We have so few cavalry ou ght Parisou to that which the enemy displays, that we nit th t° use it with e x t reme care .

The King of the French, on Thursday, received at Neuilly 31. Mazard, Mayor of Limoges ; M. Fourner, Counsellor of the Cour Royale, and Member of the Municipal Council ; and 31. Arblant, Member of the Consultative Chamber of Manufactures of Limoges, from which town they were dele gates, on the subject of the railroad from Vierzon to Limoges by Chateauroux, lately passed. His Majesty conversed with them for some time on the state of the central departments, and the benefit they would derive from this new means of communication. The following is the current rumour respecting the King's visit to the Queen of England :—The King and Royal Family will leave Neuilly for the Chateau of Bizzy, imme diately after the close of the session. They will go from thence to the Chateau d'Eu, where they will arrive about tke middle of August. His Majesty will remain at the Chateau d'Eu till the 12th or 15th of September, when he will embark from Treport for Portsmouth, accompanied by three ships of the line, and three steamers. From Ports mouth he will proceed by railway for Windsor Castle. The heat at Paris is very oppressive. On Friday the thermometer stood at 89 deg. A letter from St. Omer announces that his Royal Highness the Duke de Nemours left that place on the 24th for Metz, after reviewing the troops of the garrison. During the re view, an accident occurred to two cuirassiers from the falling of their horses. The Prince immediately went to the spot, and ordered that the greatest attention should be paid to them ; the injuries they received were not, however, very severe. St. Omer was illuminated on the occasion of the visit of the Royal Duke, which occasioned great enthusiasm. The Moniteur confirms the report already mentioned, that after the official closing of the session, the Minister of Com merce will submit to the approbation of the King several or donnances for the modification of the tariff of customs, and adds, that they will be in conformity with the recommenda tions of the committees of the Chamber of Deputies, which have not been discussed in the Chamber from want of time. Saturday being the first of the fetes of the three days of July, a funeral service to the memory of the victims of the revolution was celebrated in several of the churches of Paris. The great illuminations were to take place on Monday. We find the following in the Augsburg Gazette of the 23d : " Letters from Bologna announce that tranquillity is restored in that city, and also in the legations. There have not been any other condemnations. The court-martial has condemned to death a man nalned Gardenoz, for having, in December last, killed a custom-house officer at one of the gates of Bo logna. He was shot on the 26th inst." The Gazette des Tribunaux states on the authority of a letter from Berlin, that the Prussian Government has come to a resolution to abolish imprisonment for debt in all cases. The Hanover Gazette of the 17th inst. announces that the King has been indisposed, but not so much so as to prevent him from transacting business. We learn from Prague that on the 16th inst. notices were posted up in the city that, as tranquillity was completely restored, the ordonnance directing all public-houses to be closed at nine o'clock was no longer in force, and that they might, as before, be kept open till 12. CotrWr-r.&B3EIXONABX.23. The Earl and Countess of Jersey gave an entertainment on Saturday evening to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, at their mansion in Berkeley-square. A select circle were invited to meet the illustrious Duchess at dinner, and in the evening about one hundred distinguished mem bers of the aristocracy assembled. The Duke of Wellington is expected to leave Apsley House, this afternoon, on a visit to her Majesty, at Windsor Castle. His Grace will return to town on Wednesday. The Russian Admiral Poortakin, of the Aurora frigate, now lying off Gravesend, and his principal officers, visited his Grace yesterday afternoon, at Apsley House, when they were conducted over the whole of the interior of that mag nificent mansion. The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, leave Beaufort House to day for Goodwood-park, where they will remain Its guests of the Duke and Duchess of Richmond during the races this week. The Countess of Westmoreland has gone to remain a few days with the Earl and Countess of Mornington, at Orleans House, Twickenham. The Earl and Countess of Eglintoun are expected to leave the Clarendon Hotel to-day, for Goodwood Park, where the races commence to -morrow. The Duchess of Sutherland, accompanied by the Lady Elizabeth Leveson Gower and the younger branches of her Grace's family, left Stafford House on Saturday, and pro ceeded, via the London and Birmingham Grand Junction Railway, direct to Trentham, where the marriage of the Lady Elizabeth with the young Marquis of Lorn, will be solemnised on Wednesday next. As upon the occasion of the marriage of Lady Evelyn and Lord Blantyre, in the latter part of last year, great rejoicings will take place in celebration of the event. The tenantry will be regaled, and the poor on the Noble Duke's estate feasted on the follow ing day. The Marquis and Marchioness of Westminster arrived in town on Saturday, from Woodstock, where they have been staying during the last few days on a visit to the Viscount and Viscountess Parker. The Noble Marquis is enjoying an excellent state of health, and appears much better than he was at this period last year. His Lordship has recently sent the whole of his stud, including two Derby colts, for next year, to John Day's stables at Stockbridge. The Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn, with their youthful family, have left town for the season, and are at present staying at the Priory, near Stanmore. The Earl and Countess De Grey are about to leave town, for West Park, near Silsoe, Bedfordshire, whence, after re maining a short period, the Noble Earl and Countess will proceed to Buxton for the benefit of the waters. Lord Stanley left town on Saturday for Tonbridge Wells. Lady Brougham has issued cards for a ball on Friday next. Lady Peel, and the younger branches of her Ladyship's family, left town on Saturday, for Drayton Manor. On Wednesday last the Duke of Devonshire arrived in Liverpool, and proceeded by the steamer of the same evening to Dublin, for the purpose of visiting his extensive estates in the south of Ireland. DICISCELLISIVEOUS. Lord Heytesbury arrived in Dublin on Friday. A great concourse of people turned out on the occasion and received his Excellency well, though they showed their dislike to the Recorder, who accompanied him ih the same carriage. Our reports from all parts of the country, says the Dublin Post, are in the highest degree satisfactory. The harvest will be about a fortnight earlier than the average of years. Reaping of wheat, oats, and barley, has already commenced in some few places, and next month it will be very general. Mr. Master, M.P. for Cirencester, has accepted the chil tern hundreds, and Lord Villiers, son-in-law to Sir Robert Peel, has declared himself a candidate for the borough. On Saturday, at the weekly meeting of the Committee of Aldermen, the members of the Navigation Committee and the Watermen's Company attended, and presented, in compliance with a recommendation from the Lord Mayor, a copy of by-laws and rules for the future regulation of the numerous steam-boats on the river. The alte rations proposed by these rules are, that in future no steam-boat is to carry beyond a certain number of pas sengers, according to its tonnage, and that proper persons are to be appointed to see that the regulation is not violated ; and also that no boat is to be permitted to go beyond a certain rate of speed, and the places of embarkation are to be upon a secure and uniform footing. On Saturday, at the Brentford Petty Sessions, Charles Druce and Henry Hunt, two respectable-looking young men, residing in Old Brentford, were charged with having set fire. on Wednesday night, to a hayrick, containing thirty-six loads, valued at upwards of 200/., which was wholly destroyed, while other property was seriously damaged. The prisoners were fully committed to take their trial at the next sitting of the Central Criminal Court. The lessee of the Haymarket gives the use of his theatre for a benefit on Thursday, the Bth of August, in aid of the funds of the British Society of Dancers. Several of the prin cipal performers of the company at the Princess's Theatre have consented to appear on the occasion. On Sunday, after the performance of divine service in the morning, the following notice was affixed on the doors of St. Paul's Cathedral :—" Notice.—There will be no service in this cathedral during the repairs and cleaning. Due notice will be given of its recommencement.—St. Paul's Cathedral, July 28, 1844." It is full time. The concert for the benefit of the wife and children of Mr. Hudson, the celebrated comic song writer and singer, is to take place on Wednesday, the 31st instant, at the Princess's Theatre. The high patronage under which the performance is announced will at once satisfy those who know nothing of the deceased, that he possessed claims of no ordinary kind to secure for his memory so great a distinction. THE FLOATING PIER.—The neighbourhood o Essex-street and Milford-lane, Strand, near the water-side, has been the scene of great noise and confusion during the last two days, owing to the erection of a rival floating-pier alongside the old one at the bottom of Essex. street, and the attempt of a gang of hired men to destroy the old floating pier belonging to Mr. Francis, which is moored in front of the Ship public-house, his property, and where passengers have landed and embarked for the last four years. By the side of the Ship is a passage leading from the steps at the end of Essex-street to the water-side, and the common sewer beneath it, and flows along an open culvert, or brick drain, to low water-mark. Over this culvert a floating pier has been moored at the expense of the old Greenwich and Wool wich steamboat companies, without the sanction of the City authorities or the Commissioners of Sewers, in whom the property is vested. The owners of this pier, determined to effect by violence what they could not obtain by other means, in the first instance broke down a gate at the end of the passage on the edge of the river, and placed a gangway board communicating with the inner barge of the pier upon it. No sooner was the pier opened, a few days ago, than several blackguards were employed as touters and to insult and annoy passengers landing and embarking at the old pier, where the Watermen's steamers and the wooden steamboats call. Among them are some of the watermen who formerly plied at the Temple-stairs, for whose benefit it has been given out the pier has been erected. These fellows, emboldened by the supineness of the City authorities, declared they would drag away the old pier, and destroy it altogether. On Friday morning a gang of fifty ruffians from Execution-dock, Wap ping, the stone pier at Greenwich, and other places, assembled as early as three o'clock, and began cutting away the sup • ports of the old pier, and swore with dreadful imprecations they would murder any one who interrapted them. Two watermen, named Maynard and Hill, in the employ of Mr. Francis, who endeavoured to protect their master's pro perty, were knocked down and severely ill-used. The police were sent for, and eight men of the F division came to the spot, and found a portion of the rioters engaged in the work of destruction, and the others fighting with Mr. Francis's servants. Crow-bars, boat-hooks, hammers, and other wea pons, were used by die ruffians, who swore they would an nihilate the police if they attemptesl to interfere. The noise and the shouts of the rioters at so early an hour alarmed the inhabitants, who rose from their beds and went to the spot to ascertain the cause. In the mean time the crews of several Thames Police galleys landed, and the ruffians de sisted, but not before they had caused damage to the amount of 100/., and torn away . the gangway board or brow on the old pier and thrown it into the river. Maynard was covered with bruises, and Hill was terribly knocked about. One of the assailants, a fellow named Ash, of Wapping, received a blow on the eye from a sharp instrument which was in flicted by one of his companions, and it is not expected he will recover the sight of it. The police continued on the spot and kept a sharp look out; and the rioters having declared their intention of coming down with a stronger force on Fri day night, the land and river police mustered in considerable numbers and preserved order. On Saturday the touting and brawling was going on, and some of the greatest blackguards on the river were dragging the people about, shouting in their ears, and doing all in their power to prevent them going on the old pier to embark in the Watermen's steamers. In the course of the day warrants were applied for at Bow street Police-court against several of the rioters, and granted. . A strong body of police were again stationed near the rival piers on Saturday evening, and will continue there till the new pier is removed. UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL,... SATURDAY EVENING. 'have received this evenfni'NeVYork papers to the 6th inst., being six days, later than before, brought the Neiv York packet ship Patric Henry, Captain Delano, which vessel being detaine off Holyhead by light winds, sent up her letter bag . and passengers by the Irish mail-boat, which boarded her. The news does not possess any feature of imp portance. The 4th of July being the 68th anniverl sary of the declaration of American Independenc(i was celebrated with great rejoicing and self-glorific tion throughout the cities of the Union. In Ne York, the proceedings of the day were marred b the accidental burning of the Washington Hall, o of the finest hotels in the city, and which was totail consumed, at a loss of 40,000 dollars, of which abo two-thirds was insured. A few other casualties o curred, but, altogether, the day passed off ye joyously. ' Very, great floods again prevailed upon the lVfissi; sippi and its tributary streams, caused by the ince: sant rain which had prevailed from the 17th to tl 24th of June ; much damage had been done to growin crops, as - well as to warehoused goods and produce and in some instances lives had been lost. - In S Louis great distress prevailed ' amongst those wk were rendered houseless by the calamity. The Mormon Prophet, Smith, had fled fro] Nauvoo to lowa, and peace was therefore likely no to prevail. The Britannia arrived at Boston on the 3d, ar the news by her was received at New York early c the 4th. It was looked upon very favourably, had the effect of advancing the price of stocks, as w as to cause the cotton market to rally. There h been little done in foreign exchanges since t sailing of the steamer, and the rates continued toll quoted as before. We give the following outline of the celebration the sixty•eighth anniversary of Independence, frol the New York Sun : The anniversary of our nation's independence w yesterday celebrated with more than usual demoi strations of joy and festivity.. For many years N have not seen so large a concourse of citizens a i strangers, and never was greater cheerfulness or bett order maintained. The day was beautiful. A cloudless sky and fresh breeze from the north-west added much to t happiness of the people. The little boys, as is their custom, opened the p - lude on the preceding evening by the firing of pig s, crackers, &c., which, with a short intermission, c - tinued throughout the night and following day. e earliest riser woke amid a general volley of these small fire-works, and at sunrise was added the range of a grand national salute tired from the battery, the forts, and the vessels of war in the harbour, and tlae joy-bells which were rung throughout the eity. i Between seven and eight o'clock, the various militafy companies, and the Civic and Trade Societies be gun to meet at their respective head-quarters, and to form in procession. The military formed on the batt y, and between . nine and ten were reviewed by theo vernor, accompanied by his staff. The Civic and Trade processions formed in Blealker-street, and marched down Hudson- s treet,through Chambers-str#et to Broadway, where it was met by the military frem the battery. The whole procession, with the military in front, at twelve o'clock, passed in at the east gate of the Park, and passed in front of the City-hall in re view before the Governor and his staff, who were ac companied by Major-Generals Stryker, Pent; and Kierstedt, and other officers, and the Mayor and Coiii mon Council. Major Popham, who had just been elected President of the Order of Cincinatti, in place of Major-General Lewis, deceased, and several other members of this Order were present. This company stood on the State - house steps • the Mayor and the Governor together, with heads Un covered With the exception of the Governor and his Staff, they had been in waiting in the Mayor's room, whiph was, during the whole morning, crowded with distinguished citizens and strangers. he Governor's room—the Mayor's room—the balcony, and other parts of the City Hall were crowded with ladies and gentlemen. The park and streets adjacent were crowded with human beings. The trough bqwl of Croton-Ice-Punch—the park fountain—vicas, during the day, surrounded with visitors of both sexes, who repaired thither to slake their thirst. The inmates of the city hospital—those who , were able — were out on the grass-plat in front of the buildin4 to watch the procession. Flags waved from the city hall, old Tammany, the public houses, and places of amusement ; yet all was quiet and orderly—not a a booth in the park, nor any scene of disorder 1 or drunkenness. Thanks to the glorious Washing tonian Reformation ! and the great Croton Punch Bowl! At about a quarter before eleven, while the im mense concourse in and around the City-hall were waiting for the procession, which did not come up until twelve, a fire broke out in Washington Hall; at the corner of Reade-street and Broadway, but a few rods from the Park. The ringing of the alarm bells, ascending volumes of smoke, the masses rushing: to and fro, the windows and the roofs of the adjoining buildings filled with excited and eager spectators, formed a scene of terrible sublimity. The fire, it is supposed, originated from one of the chimneys in the south-east corner of the building, and near the roof. For nearly an hour, with the exception of that corner only smoke was seen to ascend from the roof, and the opinion generally expressed was doubtless correct, that by the seasonable aid of three or four good engines the building all but the roof might have been saved. But it was half-an-hour before the engines came, and the whole service performed did not exceed what two or dinary engines might accomplish. Added to this, the frequent bursting of the hose, and the delay in getting water, for th ey h a d to go t o a di s tance for hydrants ; the one i n f ront o f t h e H a ll f or some cause or other not having been opened. Had it not been for the slate tiles of the houses on Chambers-street, the entire block to Centre-street would probably have been destroyed. The fire continued for upward's of two hours, and has left nothing but the bare walls standing. Washington -hall had just heen thoroughly repaired and re-decorated throughout, and had the most elegant and commodious assembly or concert room in the city. The damage to the Hall is not less than twenty thousand dollars. At twelve o'clock the Governor and his suite arrived at the Mayor's room fr om th e company, and pro ceeded to review th e m ili tary an d c i v i c process i on i n front of the City-hall. The military consisted of the three brigades of artillery, with the independent com panies attached to them belonging to this city, under the respective commands of Brigadier-General Storms, Colonel Vermilye, and Colonel T. F. Peers. It would perhaps be deemed invidious to select any one company far praise, as all made a fine appear ance; but we cannot forbear to notice the Italian Guards and their pioneers. The Jefferson Guards, the Lancers, the State Fencibles, forming the Go vernor's Guards ; the W as hington Greys, and the National Guard —all are deserving of commendable notice. When the latter company, under Colonel Vermilye, passed by Colonel Jones, the High Sheriff, formerly Colonel of this regiment, could not with hold his approbation at their exact and well dis ciplined military step. " The boys step well," said he. From the review in the Park the Civic and Trade Societies proceeded to Tammany-hall, where the De claration of Independence was read by Christian Hen glowing a n d b eau tif u l ora ti on was pro nounced WilliamWallace,Esq., who was raptu srhouawsl'yandba applaudedy Wallace, throughout the delivery.

Th e steamboats and railroads ( an d th e i r num b er t he presided. band James T. Brady, Esq., delivered was a legion), went out well filled with ladies and gentlemen, on the various excursions. The beau tiful fields of Hoboken were visited by thousands, and the olympic exercises of the celebrated Otto Motty, were witnessed with great delight by a vast assemblage. In the evening the ci ty presented a more lively appearance. All the omnibuses were crowded and dashing through the streets at a swift rate, some taking passengers to the Museums, to Castle Gar den, to witness the exhibition of fireworks given at that place; others going to Niblo's, to Washington Parade Ground, to Tompkin's-square, and to the Park, at all of which were splendid exhibitions of fireworks, the three latter at the public expense. Several accidents occurred from the bursting of pistols. A man, early in the morning, had his left hand much injured owing to placing it over the muzzle while he attempted to cock it. A fine boy, named James Cassidy, sixteen years of age, had his left hand nearly blown to pieces in Cherry-street in the same way. - He went home to dinner, when he prevailed upon some person in the neighbourhood to lend him a pistol ; soon afterwards he met with the ac cident. He was carried to the hospital. One of his fingers was blown entirely off and fell into the street. A lad named Thomas Weaklain, thirteen years of age, also had his left hand shattered in a similar manner, while attempting flWock a pistol in the park. MONEY MARKET.

HAYMARKET THEATRE. At the conclusion of the performances on Satur day night, a piece of plate, which had been sub scribed for by the whole of the company, was presented to Mr. Webster, as a token of respect, for his excellent management, and his uniform attention and kindness to the performers The piece of plate is an epergne of elegant design, executed in solid burnished and dead silver. From a circular base rises a shaft or stem, shaped somewhat like a champagne glass, supporting a basket formed of vine twigs and foliage, in which is placed a rich cut-glass bowl. Two beautifully-executed figures of children holding cups are seated at the foot of the stem. Around the base is an appropriate inscription, recording the circumstances under which the plate was presented. The stage was arranged for the ceremony of presenting the testimonial, which was placed on a table in the centre. Mrs. Glover, who had been deputed to the office, read the follow ing address written by Mr. Buckstone " TO MR. WEBSTER. " Sir,—l have been deputed by my brother actors, many authors, and all the officers and artizans of the Little Theatre in the Haymarket,' to present you with a testimonial of their regard for you, and by which they desire to mark and commemorate an event unprecedented in the history of the drama—an event that the annals of the stage, throughout its best days, have never been able to record—and that is, a successful and uninter rupted season of four hundred nights. Four hundred consecutive nights, without, on any occasion, closing the doors for a special rehearsal, and on no pretext whatever making the slightest deduction from the stipend of any one person who has had the good fortune to be employed in your establishment. " It was originally intended that the entire Haymarket company should unite in celebrating this dramatic tri umph, but a majority of the ladies, with that enthusiasm so characteristic of our sex, felt anxious at once to ex press their feelings for you, which they did to their sa tisfaction, and I am sure to your own. I preferred, with another sister actress (Mrs. Fitzwilliam), to join my brethren, and though there has been a division in the mode of doing a proud and pleasant thing, yet the hearty intention has been well and cheerfully carried out by all. " And belive me, that we feel still higher gratification in presenting you this testimonial, when we know it also records your firm encouragement of English talent ; proud are we to declare that the Haymarket Theatre has been English" from top to toe ' —ay, "my lord, from head to foot " with English actors, English arti zans, English comedies, and, to crown all, ever a full and joyous English audience, to appreciate them. " And more honourable yet is your triumph, still more deserved, when we are conscious that circumstances —imperative, no doubt—have prevented your efforts being cheered by that high patronage which would make our English hearts beat with gratitude, and, indeed, " teach us how to act "—our poets how to write. Still a fostering public has enabled you effectively to present the comedies of the noblest drama in the world, as the honoured names of Shakspere, Massinger, Congreve , Cibber, Vanbrugh, Goldsmith, Sheridan, Inchbald, Col man, Centlivre, Murphy, Morton, amongst the dead ; and our Sheridan Knowles, with Bulwer, and many others, amongst the living, whose names have appeared in your bills, during the four hundred nights, can suc cessfully and gloriously testify. " That you may long continue in your honourable career is the wish of all who know you, and may the spirit and enterprise that so lately led you to make a munificent effort to discover hidden dramatic literary talent, never fail of receiving that encouragement from the public which is its due. " And now, Sir, allow me to present you with that epergne, in commemoration of the event 1i have named, and with the heartfelt wishes of all your brother and sister actors and actresses, and ever ,y p erso n in the theatre, for your health, happiness, and success, and for the happiness and prosperity of your dear children, who will one day read the inscription engraven here, with a glow of conscious pride, as they reflect on the triumph 1 of their father and the many warm and devoted friends who have recorded it." Mr. WEBSTER acknowledged the compliment paid him in a suitable speech. CAUTION TO AMATEUR ROWERS.--All accident occurred yesterday, with narrow escape of the loss of life, to two young men, in a boat belonging to Mr. Searle, boat-builder, when rowing near the centre arch of Putney-bridge, apparently in deep conversation ; and had it not been for the timely warning of a young man on the bridge they must have gone .down, for the next moment the boat went in half: They had just time to catch hold of the piles that form the starlings, arid were taken off in two boats. It required the exertions of three watermen to get the boat from the pier, as the tide was running very strong at the time of the accident. FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday a fatal accident oc curred to a guard of the train which left Bolton for Manchester about three o'clock. The unfortunate man, whose name is James Cooke, was seated in one of the second-class carriages, and was putting on the brake, as the train entered the tunnel ; but leaning too far over the side of the carriage, his head came in contact with one of the iron pillars of the tunnel, arid with such force, owing to the speed of the train at the time, that the skull was dreadfully crushed and fractured. On reaching Prestolee the train stopped, and Mr. Turner, surgeon, of Manchester, who was travelling by it, got into the carriage where the poor man was lying ; but the injuries inflicted on the brain were beyond surgical aid, and Cooke expired in about ten minutes after the blow had been received. There appears to be no blame attributable to any one else ; the unfortunate man having imprudently stretched his head out too far over the side of the carriage. The deceased lived in Salford ; we believe he was a steady man, and he has left a widow and several children to mourn their sudden bereavement. An inquest will in all probability be held to-day.—Man. cluster Guardian of Saturday. CURIOUS COINCIDENCES.—On Thursday, July 4, 1839, at three o'clock in the afternoon, W.

" I write this letter in the house of Nayeb Samet Khan, the chief of the-artillery and the arsenal of his Majesty the King of Bokhara, a sincere and excellent friend of the British nation, but in the presence also of his Majesty, the Abneers, Mahrarn (private cham berlain), and I write this letter officially by order of the King of Bokhara, to whom I give a translation, and therefore confine myself only to the most neces sary topics without comment and without observation. " On the 29th of April the King stated to me by medium of the above-named Nayeb, and in the pre sence of Mullah Kharsem, the King's Mahram (private chamberlain), that he had put to death in the month of Sarratan, 1259 (July, 1842), Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly. The first had been put to death—firstly, on account of his having treated royalty with the greatest disrespect on different occa sions ; secondly, that he had turned Mussulman, and then returned to the Christian faith; thirdly, that he had promised to get letters from England in four months, by which he would be acknowledged as ambassador from England, and fourteen months had elapsed without any answer being received, though the King had erected japar khans (post-houses) on his account. And with regard to Conolly, that he had been put to death for having induced the Khans of Khiva and Kokan to wage war against the King of Bokhara, &c. "His Majesty has given me permission to leave Bokhara on the 9th May (Friday next). From Mesched I will write everything more fully, &c. (Signed) " JOSEPH WOLFF. " To Captain Grover." CHINA. The following brief account from a Correspondent relative to the new trade with China will be read with interest : "Shanghae is a large city, the walls are about forty-five miles round, but like all Chinese places, is very dirty. It has every appearance of being a place of large trade ; the river which is a fine stream is full of junks, which are arriving and departing every day, and it possesses a great advantage from being so near Nankin and Soo-chow, the latter one of the largest commercial cities in the Empire, it is said. The people are very civil (the effects no doubt of the thrashing they have had), which contrasts strongly with the behaviour of the Canton men, and the autho rities have shown every disposition to meet the wishes of the Consul—at first they objected to him living in the city, wanting to keep that sacred as in Canton, but he insisted on it, and told them if they would not allow it he should go on board the steamer and return to Chusan. A good site has been appropriated for the European residents—it is about three-quarters of a mile from the city walls, bounded on each side by creeks with a frontage of about quarter to the river but without any boundary behind, so that buildings can be carried as far back as is necessary or con venient. The shipping will lay right in front of this place, and the Custom-house being there also, it will be convenient for business. The country all round is flat, in fact, there is not a hill in sight from Shanghae or Woosung, but I cannot see why it should be so unhealthy as is generally represented, for in the n eighbourhood of the city it is principally dry wheat and cotton land. When we have comfortable houses to live in I hope we shall find it quite as healthy as Can ton, for the situation does not appear to me to be worse, if so bad. " Large quantities of cotton are exported from Shanghae principally, I believe, to the more southern provinces ; it has also a considerable trade with Japan, I am told. " I have also visited Ningpo, which is a much larger and handsomer city than Shanghae; it contains some of the best streets and finest shops I ever saw in China, but there is not that bustle and appearance of trade that there is at Shanghae, although its traffic must be considerable; the river Tai-hae is not such a large stream as the Woosung, and altbough there are many junks moored between Chin-hae and Ningpo, the bulk of them appear to be of a smaller class than those I saw at Shanghae. 'SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF A SUSPECTED MURDER —Some few weeks ago, as a man, assisted by his son, was digging turf in a lonely part of Longton Moss, near Preston, he discovered the remains of a human body under the following circumstances :—ln the course of his labours, he came to a spot of ground which had long been called the " grave," from the peculiar form and appearance of the grass growing over it being in the shape of a grave, and the sods' upon it much more verdant than the surrounding vegetation. When he had put his spade down among the turf, and was working it about to loosen the mass of soil which he wished to dislodge, he encountered something that obstructed his operations, which he thought was an accumulation of matted sticks, frequently found in turbaries. It proved, however, to be hair, and a human skull which he had just thrown out was covered with long tresses. lie then became aware that he had opened the resting-place of a fellow-creature, and in the breast of the earth which his labours had cleared the traces of a body were apparent. All was decomposed, except some of the larg,er bones ; but where the head and neck had lain the earth was of a different colour, as though it had been soaked with blood. The remains were most of them collected, and removed to a neighbouring house, where the hair was washed, and found to be of a very dark colour. The singularity of the occurrence caused no small talk in the district, and various were the surmises offered to account for it, in the course of which the fol lowing statement was gathered, which appears the most probable one, and which is submitted in hopes that it may, perhaps, lead to a discovery of the individual by whom the crime has been perpetrated : About twenty-two years ago, during the summer months, a man and a woman, both of whom were strangers, were seen one Sunday on the Moss, in company together ; and, by their appearances and behaviour, attracted the attention of the country people, who thought they were " courting." The evening was calm, and at midnight a respectable inmate of Sod-hall, which was the nearest house to the spot, was awoke from her sleep, by loud and piercing shrieks at some distance. She opened the window to listen, and heard a woman screaming, in an agonised manner, " Spare my life ; do not murder me !" All then was hushed, nor did she hear anything further. A few days afterwards a red shawl was found near the place, which was recognised as being the one worn by the woman who was seen on the previous Sunday, and some one remarked an appearance on the moss as though the sods had been removed. Some slight inquiry was made by the constable, but the place was unopemed, nor was further notice taken of it until some years after, when the grass had grown so verdantly over it, and it was so singularly formed, as to acquire the name of " the grave !" and sods were frequently cut from it on account of their being better than any near it. Ties ground, when dug into, was still looser than the surrounding earth, as moss soil, when once disturbed, is a lung time before it again becomes firmly bound toga ther.—Prestcrit Chronicle. ART-UNIONS BILL.—Lord Monteagle's Bill, en titled "Art Act for Legalizing Art-Unions," has been brought d own from the House of Lords, for the consideratcani of the lower branch of the Legis lature. It. enacts that all art-unions, and all mem bers, con tributors, subscibers, and officers thereof, and per , ions acting for them, or on their be half, shald be discharged and freed from all suits and prosecuti.ons, liabilities, pains, and penalties to which by law- they might be liable, as being con cerned in lotteries, little goes, or unlawful games, for any thing done, or which may be done by them herebefore, or before the Ist day of January next, touch ing the purchase of any such or other works of art, or the sale or distribution thereof by chance or lot. Pro vision is made by the second clause for the regular es tablishment and regulation of such associations by royal charter, t;o be granted on the approval of the Board of Trade at id Plantations. FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL. BRUSSELS, JULY 25.—The Moniteur of this day publishes -Ist. The law relative to the differential duties. 2d. A Royal resolution, fixing the tariff on tobacco. 3d. A Royal decree for the general execution of the law and the differential duties. 4th. A Royal decree relative to the assimilating of the flag of the United States to the Belgian flag. sth. A Ministerial order relative to the restitution of duties on certain kinds of wood. The Government in publishing the law on the dif ferential duties has immediately made use of the pre rogative given to it by an article of that law. The 6th article empowers to assimilate, by a Royal de cree, to the national flag, the flags of those nations which import direct from the countries to which they belong the productions of Asia, Africa, and America. The flag of the United States is now placed on an equality with that of Belgium in regard to tonnage, pilotage, and- all other port duties and charges whatsoever. The decree declared that cedar and ebony wood, cotton, wool, tobacco of Virginia, Maryland, and other parts of the United States, rum, pearl ash, Mash, rice, whale and seal oil, shall be considered as productions of the United States. With respect to other articles, which shall be represented as productions of the United States, proof must be given of their origin in the form fixed by the decree which regulates the execu tion of the law on the differential duties. The King and Queen will leave Neuilly on the 27th, and are expected at the palace of Lacken on the 28th of this month. The improvement of the communication with Eng land is on the point of being realised. We are in formed from Ostend, that the new line of steamers between Dover and Ostend will com mence their service on Monday, 29th instant. The steamers will be provided by the English South- Eastern Railway Company, but our Government, as it seems, is to bear the expense. The news is every moment expected from London that the postal con vention with England is signed. M. Bared brought the negotiations as near as possible to a conclusion. The requisite full powers have been sent to M. Van de Weyer to terminate them. 'We forgot to mention, when we first spoke of this convention, that the transit of letters from England to Germany, and vice versa through our territory, was fixed at a rate sufficiently advantageous to our office, that this line might be adopted for the conveyance of the overland Indian mail, which now passes through France b e y way of Marseilles, but would then pass by way of Trieste. AMSTERDAM, JULY 24.—His Majesty the King has returned direct from Luxembourg to Holland. An indisposition, which happily has proved but slight, prevented his Majesty from visiting Maestricht. The accounts from Luxembourg continue to relate in detail the proofs of loyalty and affection with which his Majesty has been welcomed in all parts of the Grand Duchy through which he passed. THE HAGUE, JULY 24. We learn that the King has gone from Luxembourg to Coblentz, and intends to come by the steam-boat to Rotterdam. His Ma jesty is expected at the Hague to-morrow or the next dtv. 111 E HAGUE, JULY 2.6.—His Majesty the King arrived here from Luxembourg yesterday afternoon. BELGIAN FUNDS.—BaussELs, JUDY 25.

IRELAND. ARRIVAL OF LORD HEYTESBURY. DUBLIN, JULY 26.—The weather, which had been all yes.. N: terday and last night wet and cheerless, cleared up szpster.

The...pasaises- - - -- , nade jetty at Kingstown, which was selected as the V114,4*, kt. t I t.:O M.'S :‘ debarcation, was thronged from an early hour with nu era of the most respectable of our citizens. The harbour itself presented a most animated appearance, the revenue cruisers having all their flags flying and their yards manned: A pas sage, enclosed by ropes and lined by a detachment of th e Royal Marines, was formed front the jetty to the railway ter minus, to ensure an unobstructed passage_ for his Lordship and suite, who, it was arranged, should - proceed to town by the Dublin and Kingstown Rail MN. Arguard 6f hemour, consist ing of the light company oftlael6l,llllegimentsand the band of the same corps were in attendance for the purpose .of assisting iii the ceremonial of hisLordship,'Arl,eception. About ten o'clock the Merlin, Adniiraltv stearnes as the vessel chosen for the conveyance of Lord IfeyteslatrY 10 our shores, arrived at the entrance to the harbour; but the ,hour fixed for the recep tion of his Lordship at Kingstowa by the authorities being eleven o'clock, the interval was occupied in cruising about the bay, thus affording to his Lordship an opportunity of viewing its almost unrivalled scenery under extremely fa vourable circumstances. Shortly before eleven o'clock the Merlin entered the harbour undena salute from the -guns of the Shamrock and Kite revenue cruisers, and immediately came to her moorings alongside the jetty, amid the enthusi astic cheering of the assembled multitude. The Earl of Donoughmore and Mr. Frederick Shaw, the two Privy Coun cillors appointed to receive his Lordship, immediately pro ceeded on board.' They were accompanied by the Solicitor- General, the Dean of Ossory, Colonel Bowlas, and several of the aides-de-camp and officers of the household, and, having congratulated Lord Ileytesbury on his safe arrival, signified to his Lordship that the Lords Justices were ready to receive him at the Castle. Ills Lordship then landed, attended by the above-mentioned personages ; and, amid the continued cheering of the vast crowd which had assembled, proceeded to the railway station, where a special train was in waiting to convey him and the cortege by which he was accompanied, to Dublin. His Lordship appeared to be in the enjoyment of most excellent health, and acknowledged, in the most courteous and most dignified manner, the cordial greetings which were tendered to him as ho passed along. At a quarter past eleven o'clock the train started from Kingstown, and reached Westland-row in nine minutes. At the various points aloilg the line where a glimpse of the train could be caught, groups of the country people had assembled, loudly cheering as it passed. Upon his arrival at Westland-row, his Lordship was received with repeated acclamation by a numerous body of nobility, gentry, and citizens, and was met by the Lord Mayor, accompanied by the Aldermen and Town-Councillors of the borough, who congratulated his Lordship upon his appointment and safe arrival, and tendered the keys of the city to him, which were graciously returned. In Westland-row a detachment of the Ist Royal Dragoons was stationed, who received his Lordship with the usual military honours, and formed his escort to the Castle. His Lordship having entered his car riage, accompanied by the Earl of Donoughmore and Mr. Frederick Shaw, proceeded to the Castle by Leinster-street, Nassau-street, Grafton-street, College-green, Dame-street, &c., which were lined with the troops lying in garrison, who presented arms, the bands playing " God save the Queen," as his Lordship's carriage passed their respective corps. The procession was headed by the Commander of the garrison and staff; and Lord Heytesbury's carriages were followed by a considerable number of those belonging to the noblemen and gentlemen subsequently presented to his Lordship at the Castle. The streets through which the procession passed were denselY thronged, and the manifestations of applause from the respectably-dressed portion of the populace were very frequent, intermingled, however, by counter cheers for repeal and Mr. O'Connell. Upon his arrival at the Castle, Lord Heytesbury was re ceived by the Gentleman Usher, and conducted to the Pre sence: Chamber, where their Excellencies the Lords Justices received his Lordship, sitting covered under the canopy as Chief Governors. After the usual ceremonies, his Lordship was sworn into oflice, the oaths having been previously administered by the Archbishop of Dublin and Chief Justice Doherty. During the progress of this ceremonial, the ordnance at the Park fired a salute of 21 guns, which, at the conclusion, was an swered by three volleys from the infantry drawn up in Dame street and College-green. His Excellency then held an undress levee, when the fol lowing personages were presented :—The Earls of Bandon, Donoughmore, Clonmel, Charleville, Clancarty, and Meath; the Archbishop of Dublin, the Bishops of Meath and Kildare, Privy Councillors; Lord Chief Justice Doherty, who came up from circuit to receive his Excellency, and administer one of the oaths of office ; Sir Edward Blakeney, the Master of the Rolls; Lord Downes, Lord Clarina, Lord Tullamore, Right Hon. Frederick Shaw, Right Hon. T. F. Kennedy, Major-General Wyndham, the Solicitor-General, the Judge of the Prerogative Court, the Dean of Ossory, Sir Lucius O'Brien, Sir R. Shaw, the High Sheriff of the city, Right lion. Arthur Moore, Sergeant Howley, Archdeacon Mousell, Mr. Commissioner O'Ferrall, Col. Browne, Col. Spey, Dr. H. Maunsell, Col. Brereton, Major Savage, Col. Napier, Col. Thomas White, of Woodlands; Col. Patrickson, Col. Columb, Rev. 11. E. Prior, Col. Lewis, Town-major White, G. F. Brooke, Esq., Dr. Hatchell, &c. At the conclusion of the levee, the procession having been re-formed, his Excellency retired, and at a few minutes past one o'clock took his departure from the Castle for the Vice regal Lodge, in an open carriage, the same in which he made his entrance, drawn by four grey horses, and accompanied by two aides-de-camp, but unattended by any military escort. FATAL ACCIDENT IN A MILL. Last evening, at the Manchester Royal Infirmary, Mr. Chapman held an inquest on the body of a young woman, named Frances Kenyon, nineteen years of age, whose death was occasioned by injuries received from machinery, .in the mill of Messrs. Watkin and Lees, cotton spinners, Dukintield. • Robert Wrigley, overlooker in the mill, stated, that the deceased was a weigher in the blowing-room, and had been employed in the mill about eighteen months. On the afternoon of the 17th instant, witness was re. pairing one of the blowing machines at which the de ceased was employed, when, hearing a shriek, ho looked round, and saw her with her left hand fast be tween two cog-wheels attached to the same machine. He threw the wheels out of geer as soon as possible and liberated her; after which Mr. Orme, surgeon, dressed her injured hand, and next day she was con veyed to the infirmary. She was the only person blameable, as she had nothing to do except to weigh the cotton for the person feeding with it. The wheels were not boxed off, though they easily might be. There were none boxed off in the room. Four or five years ago a female was caught in the same manner, and died in the infirmary. There had been new machinery put up since then, and the new was more dangerous than the old. Jane Pollitt, a female employed in the same mill, stated that the deceased was caught whilst cleaning th e machinery, which she had no right to do until it had stopped. It was nearly tea time when the accident hap pened, and the deceased was in a hurry to get to her tea. Her duty was to clean the machinery when it stopped at tea time. Mr. Tomlinson, house surgeon to the Infirmary, stated that the deceased was admitted on the forenoon of the 18th instant. The fore finger of her left hand had been amputated, and there was compound fracture of the middle and laceration of the two other fingers. Lock jaw ensued on the 23d, and she died on the morning of Thursday last. The injuries to the hand were the cause of death. The Coroner said, in this case, he conceived the jury would have to lay a deodand upon the machinery. He did not know that very large deodands were of any great service. The main object of imposing deodands was to make it compulsory upon parties to place their machinery , in such a state as not to be dangerous to the people em ployed about it. Several of the jurors expressed a strong opinion as to the impropriety of allowing the machinery to remain un • covered ; and eventually a verdict of " Accidental death" was returned, accompanied with a deodand of 10/. upon the machinery.—Manchester Guardian of Saturday. FATAL PRIZE lIGHT.—DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT 02 A FATIIEII.--On Tuesday an in9uest was held at Northamp ton, on the body of Frederick Fitzhugh, who lost his life in a pugilistic encounter with a man named Cumberpatch, com monly known in that part of the country as Dan patch. The tight took place on the day previously, near Merry's Close. It appeared from the evidence adduced that Mr. Smyth, a magistrate, interfered to prevent the fight, but without success, having been pelted away by the mob. The men fought for an hour ; once they left off, somebody having said that the police were coming. Fitzhugh at that time went away, and remained about six or seven minutes. He then returned, the fight was renewed, and they fought about four rounds more. In the last round the head of deceased struck against the ground, and he could not get up. He was removed and seated against the railings. From thence he was about to be taken to the infirmary, when a body of men came up and took him away by force. The father of the de ceased was present, but did not interfere; in fact, he scolded his wife for being in trouble about her son going to fight, and linked arm-in-arm with others to form the ring. s evera l of the witnesses swore that the father of the deceased had said, "that he would bring home his - son a corpse sooner than he should give in." decFased Was taken to the Milk ma id public-house, in Kettering-road, after the fight w as over; he was then fastdying, and expired shortly after wards. The father, on being called upon by the Coroner to say what he had to offer in explanation of his disgraceful con duct, declared that he lad been against his son's fighting, but refused to sign the written statement to this effect. It did not appear that . the men had had an y quarrel, but that they had fought for lOs. a-side, in order to decide which was the better man. The Coroner, in summing up, told the jury that they would have to consider whether the fight had been a prize-fight or not; if it had been, the' seconders, and all who were present, would be participating in the offence. If parties were engaged in an illegal transaction, and death ensued, the offence 'was murder : if, therefore, they should find . that the deceased came t o hi s death by blows received from Cumberpatch in a prize-fight, they would return a verdict of murder against him, and against the backers and other defendants, as principals in the second degree. They accordingly returned a verdict .of " Wilful murder against Daniel Cuinberpatch, Samuel Braines, William Cooper, and Joseph Page (who are:not. in custody),'and John Fitzhugh— the father—Charles Coles, Edward Lenton, and Henry King (who are in custody.)"—Abridged from the Northamptwa Mac urq. Bin roan.---About three months since three chimney-sweeps sold sixty bushels of soot to a neigh bouring farmer for 255., each party being very well satis fied with the bargain. Some days after it was discovered that the gentlemen of the black robe had adulterated the soot wit!' three sacks of very dry sawdust. The farmer, however, is convinced that his crop of turnips is greatly improved by the sawdust , as it materiall y contributed to the passing the manure through the drill ; and as the vegetation of the seed looks most propitious, the circum stance promises to prove a valua ble trial- of the virtues of the chimney - and saw-pit.—l Vest Briton.
