AITGUST 9, 1814. On the Marquis of NORMANBT presenting a peti tion from Leeds, drawing the attention of the House of Lords to the efforts of the Protestant Missionary Society for the last fifty years in the island of Ota heite, and complaining of the violation of the law of nations by the French authorities, the Earl of .ABER DEEN said he would say no more on the subject than was absolutely necessary, but he must, at the same time, state that though Mr. PRITCHARD was divested of his official character, he was no less entitled to the protection of his country. He still believed that mogieration and justice on. the part of the Govern ments of England and France, would disappoint the object of the war parties in bOth countries. A brief conversation took place about Spanish finance. The Earl of ABERDEEN seemed to have great confidence in the honour and ability of Senor MoN, the Chancellor of an Exchequer which is empty; but we doubt much if one Spanish creditor agrees with him. The Poor-law Bill was read a third time, and passed. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE gave notice that he would this day make a motion relative to the pro gress of the Houses of Parliament. On the motion of Lord IN - uARNcIaFrE, a discussion took place on the amendments of the Commons t• the County Coroners' B►ll, and, on a division, the numbers were equal—fourteen on each side. The question was decided in favour of the non-contents, and the amendments were rejected. After passing some Bills of little interest, the House adjourned till Half-past Three this day. In the Commons, the amendments made to the Merchant Seamen's Bill by the Lords were agreed to. In answer to a question from Mr. NYSE, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER Said it was not his intention to consent to the return of Stamps issued to each individual newspaper. Dr. BC/WRING said he would bring the subject before the House. next Session. Mr. WAKLEY hoped ,the return would never again be inczde, as by these returns the grossest ~ y frauds were committed on the public and on adver tisers. A brief discussion took place between Mr. T. DUNCOMBE and Sir JAMES GRAHAM, relative to the affairs of Guernsey ; but the main facts being purely personal, it was of no interest to the public. Sir J. GRAIIAM obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the alteration of the law of settlement, the main object of which was to repeal all the laws on the subject and begin anew, and that birth only should give a settlement. The measure was received with general approbation. _ - - The Lords' amendments to the Poor-law Bill were brought up and agreed to. The House adjourned at Nine o'clock till Half-past Three this day. We really know cot what to make of this wild out cry in France about the Otaheite islands, and the public seem to Ie in the same predicament. What would the French be at ? Do they wish to go to war with England'? Without the possibility of a doubt, that is the great object of the Opposition papers, and we regret to say also of some of the most influential men on the Opposition benches. It is a strange mania. We have notoffended the French in any way. We have not interfered with their occupation of the islands in the Pacific. The British Government have assented to all their plans of colonization in that dis tant region; they have allowed them to take posses sion of an island which is associated with the early re collections of the present generation, from the inter esting accounts given of it by missionaries who established themselves there forty-five year ago, and when the natives rebel against this usurpation, and fight against the French, England is denounced as the cause of all the mischief, and "one PRET ' CHARD," as M. D'AUDIGNY designates him, one of the oldest settlers, and almost up to the moment of his arrest the British Consul on the station, is treated with great indignity. No proofs are adduced that he was an active party in the insurrection, yet, when our Government complains of this strange proceeding, the whole of the Opposition press of Paris become furious at the presumption of Englishmen. It is painful to witness such an exhibition. It is lament able to see a powerful nation planted in the heart of Europe, which has such means of doing good, and which can afford to be magnanimous, thus im pelled by blind rage against a neighbouring country, anxious to live with it on peaceable terms. Is France still to be the general fire-brand, and the world to be thrown into commotion to gratify the vain aspirations of Republicans and the hopeless worshippers of the Bourbon dynasty ? We confidently trust that the rational men of France will take a different view of the question, and not rush headlong into a scheme which cannot benefit their country, which would entail great calamities on the human race, and would, to a cer tainty, end as most wars with this country have ended. Great battles, of course, would ensue, and vast destruction of property and human life, and when ex haustion took place both parties would sit down quietly to arrange the differences, and probably leave off precisely as they began. The nation which commences such a terrible contest incurs a fearful responsibility in the eyes of all Europe, and it would he well for it first to, consider whether it can justify its conduct, and whether in these days it is not more honourable to settle disputes by calm reason and judicious negotiations, than by an appeal to the sword. Lord ABERDEEN last evening justly observed that it mattered little whether Mr. PRITCHARD had or had not resigned his official duties. He was still a Bri• thh subject, and must be protected. Sir ROBERT PEEL has not altered or in any way modified his expressions which have given such offence to the War party in France; and we therefore presume that the British Government have just grounds for demanding reparation, and that they will not be deterred from their course by men who are equally enemies of England and their own Sovereign. In utter disregard of all the funereal laments of the Morning Herald, which has, over and over again, nannounced to its readers the fact of the Anti• Cor- raw League's demise—affecting, even, with a Phari saical affectation of s 3 mpathy (worthy of the Bishop of LONDON himself), to celebrate its obsequies—this idomitable body is still alive and in the flesh. It still survives in all the vigour of its or,,►anisation, to shock the conventional prudery of our Contemporary' s politica by the liberal tone of its principles, and its open addiction to the scandalous facilities of free-trad ing! What will be thought, in Shoe-lane, of the li cense which Mr. COBDEN allows himself in Covent garden Theatre, in toying with such disreputable topics as political economy, and in irreverently insisting on the duty of increasing the number of mouths fed, as prior and paramount to that of devising new churches to be built ; we dare not trust ourselves to anticipate. Enough for us, that the League, last night, held its four-and-twentieth meeting, being the last for the season, in the noble edifice whose walls hare been so often thronged by thousands of eager auditors of both sexes, assembled to hear the ♦iews of the League developed and illustrated; and perhaps on no former occasion were greater numbers ever congregated at these remarkable reunions, with more impressive effect. For the interesting details connected with the composition and aspect of the meeting, and its im portant proceedings, we must refer the reader to the careful report we have given in another part of our impression. No one can peruse that report with out the conviction that the power of the League-- whether for good or evil—has become an enormous one. If this conviction should operate, as we think it almost certainly will do, to prompt the public at large to a serious examination of the causes which can have given birth to so formidable a creation—this " Earth-born Myrmidon," as we may well term it, from its connection with the soil—the L eague—will have accomplished the most important end and the most legitimate object of its existence. It will have aroused that spit it of inquiry, and ensured that elimination of truth to which it has devoted its marvellous energies, its untiring industry, and its still unfailing means. The ultimate and not distant result will doubtless be, to secure the concurrence of the nation and the fiat of the Legislature in favour of the views it has so forcibly advocated and so widely diffused. Mr. G. WILSON, the Chairman, aptly illustrated these three points—the energy, the unwearied exertions, and the increasing influence of the League—by showing that in the interval which had elapsed since its last public meeting, it had been, addressing itself, almost exclusively, to the important object of watching and stimulating the electoral registration. He showed that their able agents had been dispatched for this purpose to no less than 140 boroughs, " in which they thought there was a reason able expectation that an impression might be made," prior to the advent of a general Parliamentary election. And he instanced the City of London and the Southern Division of the county of Lancaster as localities in which these efforts had been already attended with gratifying indications of success Seeing that the House of Commons, as at present constituted, presents, according to the observation of Mr. VILLIERS, on a former occasion, no re flection of the public mind on this question of corn-law monopoly, he justly argued that it devolved upon the Council of the League to adopt all possible measures that might prepare the electoral body, in due time, for a wise and discriminating► exercise of their franchise in return ing, when the occasion should. offer, such representa tives only as would carry out the two main ob jects of abolishing the corn-law restrictions in parti cular, and of establishing a system of free trade in general. The principal speeches of the evening were those of Mr. M. GIBSON, M.P. (whose improvement, in all respects, of matter and manner, forces itself upon our observation with every fresh address which he de livers), and Mr. COBB,EN' M.P. Mr. GIBSON rallied the Protection people very happily on the magniloquent failures of the British Agricultural Protection So ciecty, and the still more unfortunate break down of the Council of the Society for the Protection of British Agriculture. lie contrasted their progress of retrogression with the advance of the League ; and the backwardness of their supporters with the fervour that had induced upwards of 1,200 freeholders of Northamptonshire, supporters of the League, to sign a requisition to Mr. COBDEN to come among than to discuss these monopoly questions in an open air meeting. But no proposition was enforced with more vigour or effect by Mr. GIBSON than that which we ourselves have always desired to keep before the public in its true light —namely, that the relief and ' supply of physical wants must precede all attempts to establish any extensive and efficacious system of moral instruction or religious education. All experience of human nature—all the deductions of common sense —show that this is an immutable truth. The mind is in no condition to be disciplined, or informed, or expanded, whilst the physical machine is suffering under privation, and dis ease, and all their consequent derangements. Now laws which make bread artificially dear are at the very root of these evils of physical disorganisation. That the landowner, whose exorbitant rentals are identified with the maintenance of monopoly restric tions, or the importation of cheap grown corn of foreign soils, should keep up the scale of their incomes; it is now,by an imperative statute, required, that the . poor, whose health of body and consequent powers of intellect are dependent on an adequate and economic supply of wholesome bread, should be kept down to a minimum, insufficient, proportion of the first necessary of human subsistence, and abandoned in the mean time to the misery, the suffering and feebleness, and moral degradation and torpor, which are the inevit able adjuncts of such privations. In this fact consists the first and greatest of the many crimes chargeable on the existing corn-laws. But this is the solemn lesson which the League (whether in a rough or an accep table manner—a tone of conciliation or a language of defiance—no matter) has persisted in teaching, by the c )mmon confession of its enemies and its friends. The lesson is one worthy to be written in letters of gold in the same page of history which shall con sign to contempt the canting, one sided, Sabbatical, wailing of the Bishop Of LONDON over cheap fares of third-class railroad travelling on Sundays ; and to scorn, the bigoted and unchristian fulminations of the Bishop of EXETER against all other creeds and shades of religious pro fessions, but his own. Not less vigorous was the hit which Mr. Ginsom dealt at the sensitiveness of those pro-corn-law landlords who are so marvel lously jealous of our national honour, and so gene rously indifferent to the responsibilities of any war we may plunge into to vindicate it, but the genuine mo tive of whose readiness for war is to be qualified, as he observed, by the reflection that war is the mother of high agricultural prices. We need hardly com mend, again, the cutting irony with which he con trasted the spirited rivalry of landowners in feeding their "stalled oxen," to a degree of obesity which made it necessary for them to be assisted in getting on their legs, and their indifference to the craving pangs of famished peasants, who cannot use their limbs from the very langour of physical inanity and hunger. Mr. COBDEN'S speech was one of those manly efforts of a. remarkably compact and ready mind, stored with all information on the question to the elucidation of which its best powers are directed, that admit of no descriptive analysis, which would not tend to impair their effect. We earnestly recommend it to the careful perusal of every reader. It _must gratify men of all parties, from its vigour and simplicity, unless we ex cept, indeed, the writer of an article in the Morn ing Post, of which pleasant mention was made by th• Hon. Gentleman, in tracing the philosophy of incendiarism to the misapprehensions of a psuedo political economy. We suppose that the public will, by next session, confirm the judgments and services of this crusade against monopoly, by a verdict equiva lent to complete success ; a well-merited reward for so much consistency and perseverance as the League, under such able leaders, have shown throughout all fortunes. Madrid papers of the 3lst ult. have been received, but they do not bring later intelligence than that which appeared yesterday in a telegraphic dispatch. More arrests had taken place, and a conspiracy was said to have been discovered at Barcelona among the troops, the object of which was to seize on the fort of Montjuich, and that several officers and under-officers hare been arrested and imprisoned as being implicated in the affair. The following is the latest intelligence from Gib raltar, and is stated to be official : " GIPRALTA ft, JULY 28.—The Chancellor of the Consulate and all our countrymen have retired from Tangiers, with the consent of the local authorities. The Albion was sent on the 27th to Tangiers, with an officer, to take charge of the squadron in the roads, under the title of Commodore. " All the Consuls have quitted Tangiers. The English Vice-Consul has returned there. The arrival of Mr. DayststoilD Hay is hourly expected." Madrid Bourse, July 31.—Three per Cents., 27 at 60 days; Five per Cents., 19} at 60 days. The close of the French Chambers has given M. GUIZOT some relief from the attacks of Members re specting the Otaheite affair, but none from the press. Most of the journals continue their rage and fury against England, as if France had sustained some . grievous insult from us. They are not even satisfied with the result of the court-martial on Lieut. GHAT. Nothing, indeed, will satisfy the insane writers in these journals but war, or the utter humiliation of England. A determined attack was prepared against M. Gunor, at the sitting on Monday, which was to have been commenced by M. BERRTHR, supported by M. BILLAULT, but the impetuosity of M. DE LA IlocutEJAcquaust defeated their object. M. GUIZOT took advantage of his indiscretion, and gave such an answer that no further questions could be put with any degree of propriety. " I shall hold here," said he, " the same language I have held in the other Chamber. Allusion has just been made to a question which is, indeed, pending between the two Governments. There are in it conflicting facts and rights which must be cleared up and made to agree before they be discussed in this llouse. This question must be treated and solved between the two Governments. Such is what I have to do at this moment; 1 shall do it, having due respect to the rules and forms which preside over friendly international relations, and maintaining the rights, honour, and dignity of the agents of France, and of her naval officers in parti cular. When the question shall have been solved, I shall have to justify before the Chamber both what the Government shall have done and the motives for which it shall have thus acted. At present I should be wanting in every duty to the Kiwo and the coun try if I said more on the subject." The National thus raves on the subject : " The situation of England towards France, with re gard to Otaheite, is openly hostile. At Morocco she imposes on us her imperious will ; at St. Petersburgh she threatens us : we everywhere find her usual jealousy and perfidy, and this is precisely the moment chosen to compromise the King by an act of courtesy to which malevolence may give a serious bearing, Does not the Minister fear that France will consider this as an insult to all the sentiments she feels at this inopportune visit ? Is this the time for the French Government to play the part of a devoted friend to England, when perhaps the future may contain a striking and approaching rupture hetween the two States ? The Government has already sacritied enough to that falsehood which it calls entente cordiale.' It is time, in our opinion, even in the interest of the dynasty itself, which the Minister pretends to serve, that no one should be put in peril but himself ; it is high time that M. Guizut puts a stop to his continual policy of humiliation." Various reports were current at Paris of the course which the French Government proposed to pursue relative to this troublesome affair. Among others, it was said, that M. Gutzor had forwarded a com munication to Lord ABERDEEN, in which he admits that the conduct of Captain D'AUBIGNY was rather hasty, and perhaps harsh, in sending Mr. PRITCHARD to prison, and keeping him from communicating with his family and friends ; but he considers him perfectly justified in the circumstances in sending Mr. PRITCHARD out of the Society Islands. Viewing the whole bearings of the question, M Guizor comes to the conclusion that, although Capt. D'Auniores conduct may merit a reprimand, it was not so far beyond the limits of his duty as to warrant the Government either in dismissing him from the service, or even in withdrawing him from his post in the Pacific. The Journal dee Debates makes the following re marks on the result of the Court-martial held on Lieu tenant GRAY : " This judgment, if it shows anything, proves that the English Government, far from encouraging its agents in their irregularities, does all in its power to prevent such acts, and takes every means to repress them. We shall not bestow any praise upon the English Court-martial, for this would be out of place, as it has done only its duty by rendering justice ; but, under existing circum stances-, there may be perhaps some merit even in per forming a duty. The sentence has already been warmly attacked in England. It is pretended there that the officer was sacrificed to political feelings, and that the severe reprimand inflicted upon, him was a concession made to the remonstrances of France. It is clear, how ever, that some one must be responsible, and this the English Government is well aware of. So long as treaties exist, all are bound to execute them with fide lity, and the' precautions taken by the British Govern ment to guarantee the exercise of the right of search from all cause of irritation and dispute, ought to be accepted by us, in the same spirit of conciliation and harmony." The papers bring no fresh intelligence from Tan giers. It would appear that the French squadron under the Prince DR JOIN Tula was still in the Bay of Cadiz on the 28th ult.

Consols being 994 tol, both for Money and Time. The New Three and-a-llalf per Cents. were 101 f to 1011 ; and Re duced, 1024 to 4. There was no other alteration. Spanish Bonds were rather in request, and the Five per Cents. left off at 224 to 4, and the Three per Cents. at 33 to 4 ; Colombian were rather quiet at 13f 4. The Northern Securities were well supported, but there was not quite so much doing in Dutch.

The disposition of the Zollyerein States to carry the exclusive principle further may be presumed to have been in no way checked by the rejection of the really liberal offer made on their behalf, a short time since, to the Govern ment of the United States, the extent of which may be understood by the following extract of a New York com munication recently come to hand . "By this we see that the Customs Union sacrifice 45,540 dollars more of revenue on tobacco imported from the United States, than we do on our total importations of their manu factures. Our exports to the Customs Union are nearly twice the value of our imports, and the reduced duties on merchandise received from this country must nett a loan of , revenue greatly exceeding ours. Several agents have been sent to Europe, at a great expense, for the ex press purpose of opening markets for our great staple, tobacco, and to prevail upon the different Govern ments to admit it at reduced rates of duties. Our Minister to Austria, 3lr. Wheaton, with the aid of these agents, had actually succeeded, after a great deal of negotils tion, in perfecting a treaty of reciprocity, which our Go vernment refuses to ratify. The treaty was disposed of in our Senate very summarily, and in a. manner that reflects but little credit upon those intrusted with the regulation of our foreign trade.We had it in our power to open an immense trade with the Zollverain, which represents 27 millions of people. The Germans are tired of the monopoly so long enjoyed by the manufacturers of Great Britain, and would gladly take our manufactures of cotton twist, yarn, &c., to an immense amount, provided we took a fair quantity of their manufac tures. The manufacturers of this country, through the acts of their high tariff senators, have lost an immense market for their goods, who by their adherence to the most short-sighted policy have refused to accept a treaty that would do more to extend and build up our domestic manufactures than all the tariffs ever conceived or adopted. Our legislators do not see the future effect of any great measure ; their mental vision does not extend beyond the limits of their individual profession, and every future advantage is sacrificed to the present object, viz., political popularity. Racidial tariffites would not give up a tittle of their "hobby, even though the object for which they are a i m i ng c ould be obtained more speedily by so doing. They believe that nothing in the world but a high protective 'tariff will ever permanently establish our manufactures." Rather a large business continues to be transacted in the public securities, and although there is a fuller supply of stock than for some time past, the general public comes in steadily to make small purchases. At present the quotations are rather flat. Consols realise 991 to 991 for Money and Account. Exchequer Bills are 755. to 775. premium. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. realise 101 i to 101 i ; the Reduced 1021 to 1021; and the Three per Cents. 991 to par. Bank Stock is 200 to 2001 The accounts from Spain are certainly not encouraging, except the Fire per Cents., is bu h t ic t h h h e av N e mds a been done renot 1; the Three per Cents. are 33 to I ; Mexican Bonds are a shade better, being at 3.5 i to at l 2 o 2 wer to , 35i ; Portuguese Converted are dull at 431; Brazilian realise 84 ; and Colombian, 13i ; Belgian Stock is supported at 103 ; and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are firm at 61 to i.

The following is a copy of a letter received at Lloyd's from their agent at Gibraltar, dated Aug. 1, 1844 : " Sin—The only novelty which has transpired is the report of the expected dispatches from our own Charge d'Affaires, Mr. Drummond Ilay, dated Morocco, 26th ult., when he was actively negotiating with the Em peror, through his Imperial Ma'. sty's Minister, Ben Rez, which news our Governor considers to augur favourably for the realization of his hopes, that all differences will be amicably settled ; but I apprehend that the public are of opinion that the existing condition of affairs is such, es not to exclude all apprehension, and, if the negotiations, however successful, be tardy, it is thought that the French Admiral may not be in duced to continue to delay hostiFties; indeed, a general rumour prevails here, but upon what grounds I am unable to find out, that :n a day or two coercive measures will be adopted by his Royal Highness Prince Joinville, who is already at Tangiers with a part of his forces. Everything remained quiet yesterday in that town, consuls afloat. and European population retired, but numerous armed tribes had congregated under the walls and in the neighbourhood. "Nothing can be more critical than the actual posi tion of affairs. The British Admiral, in the Formidable, remains in our bay with the Caledouis, three-decker ; whilst at Tangiers are the Warspite and Albion, under Commodore Lockyer. On the part of the Spaniards their brigade is ready at Tarifa and Algesiras, and 1,000 cavalry are daily expected in our immediate neighbour hood from Madrid, to join the African expedition. Their movements will, however, wholly depend on the French, without whom it is supposed they wiil not act. (Signed) !‘ J. L. COWELL, To William Dobson. Esq., Secretary." SIR Co',max O'Loommor.—We are happy to learn that, Sir Colman O'Loghlen is daily improving. On Thurs day this popular young Baronet was so far recovered as to be able to walk for a short time in the grounds at Dnunconora. —Dublin Erening Post. RESTORATION OF THE CHURCH OF ST. °LATE, SOUTIIWARK.--The venerable edifice, St. Olave's Church, which suffered so severely by the firs at Topping's Wharf, just twelve months since, is now rapidly advancing towards completion. It is anticipated that Divine service will be per formed again in this church before Michaelmas, or in about five weeks from the present date. DUTCH AND FLANDERS MAIL. THE HAGUE, A uG.4.—Our accounts from India for the second half of April, inform us that pirates have again appeared in various places, fur instance in the Molucca Seas. Off Ternate a native vessel was attacked by five pirates, which, however, were repulsed with loss. In the Straits of Sands forty pirates had been seen, which were supposed to come from the north-east coast of Sumatra. One of the accounts says, that the pirates of Mangindano intended to collect their whole force, con sisting of about two hundred vessels (among which was an European ship which the had captured), and to as semble near Celebres, in order to take vengeance for the defeat they sustained last year, and even to do their utmost to get possession of the steamer which has done them so much damage. Captain F. A. d'Aguino, com manding the Portuguese ship Margarida, has been found guilty by the Council of Justice, at Batavia, of having carried on slave-trade, and has been condemned to five years' imprisonment, and to twenty years' banishment from the Dutch East-India possession. THE HAGUE, AUG. 4.—This morning the agreeable news was circulated here, and soon afterwards confirmed, that her Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Saxe Weimar Eisenach, only daughter of their Ma jesties the King and Queen of the Netherland:, was safely delivered of a Prince on the night of the 31st of July. The news came with extraordinary rapidity, and was received yesterday evening at nine o'clock by the Royal Family. Her Royal Highness and the young Prince are doing well. TIIE HAGUE, AUG. s.—The Queen arrived here the day before yesterday from Soetsdyk, coming by a special train by way of Utrecht and Amsterdam. Their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Frede rick of the Netherlands arrived here from Berlin yester day evening. BERLIN, AUG. s.—The journals of this city, and the principal commercial cities of the kingdom, contain long articles respecting the measures adopted by the Govern meht against Prussion ships, by way of reprisal, to the great augmentation of the duties on Belgian iron im ported into the States of the German Customs Union. The decision of the Government on this occasion is generally approved. Lieut.-General Count d'Hane de Steenhuyse, thi' King's Aide-decamp, set out yesterday, by the railway, for Germany, in order to congratulate the King of Prussia, in the name of the King of the Belgians, on his late happy escape from assassination. BRUSSELS, A tra. 6.—The brig Jean Van Eyck is to leave the port of Bruges to-day. It had a hundred settlers on board, whom it is to convey to the island of Saint Catherine, in Brazil. The Cardinal Archbishop of Malines has just received from his Holiness the Pope a fine present for the Univer sity of Louvain, viz., the complete collection of the works of the learned Cardinal Mar, 2 vols. 4t0., and the de scription of the Estra scar M useum , f oun dd by Gregory XVI., in 2 vols. folio.

WEDNESDAY, THREE O'CLOCK, P.M.—The nomi nation for candidates for this borough took place this morning, and, as usual in all manufacturing towns, the voice of the people was decidedly in favour of those great principles of free-trade of which Mr. Rawson is the actual representative in this borough. At an early hour large bodies of workmen, employed on my lord's and other Tory gentlemen's estates, were marched into the town, for the purpose of swelling the numbers of the friends of monopoly. At nine o'clock the two candi dates and their respective friends arrived on the hustings, and were received with the usual amount of groaning, cheering, hissing, and other popular demonstrations. 'l'. Badger, Esq., a Conservative magistrate, then came forward, and proposed Mr. Benbow as a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament. Ile did so be cause he was a thorough Conservative, a supporter of Church and Statc, and an opponent of the Anti Corn-law movement. Captain Bennet seconded the nomination of Mr. Benbow. Charles Twamley, Esq., in an able free trade speech, proposed Mr. Rawson. The Rev. John Palmer seconded the nomination ; after which Mr. Ben• bow addressed the assembly, merely recapitulating the topics set forth in his address. Mr. Rawson next pre sented himself, and after some slight interruption, he was listened to with marked attention. The show of hands was declared to be in favour of Wm. Rawson, Esq. A poll was then demanded on the part of Mr. Benbow, which commences to-morrow (this day). LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LOWDON, Auo. B.—Wind westerly, fresh breeze and fine.

THE LEARNED ELEPHANT. - " That's a wery knowin' hanimal of your's," said a Cockney gentleman to the keeper of an elephant. " Very," was the cool rejoinder. " He performs strange tricks and hantics, does he?" in quired the Cockney, eyeing the animal through his glass. " Surprisin'," retorted the keeper, " we've learned him to put money in that box you see up there. Try him with a dollar." The Cockney handed the elephant a dollar, and, sure enough, he took it in his trunk and placed it in a box, high out of reach. " Well, that is wery hextraordinary— hastonishing, truly !" said the green one, opening his eyes. ". Now, let's see him take it out, and ' an d it back." "We never learns him that trick," retorted the keeper, with a roguish leer; and then turned away to stir up the monkeys, and punch the hyenas. . SUMMARY OF NEWS AND )übltc aptitton. " Who riots may read." POREIGN. The King of the French arrived at the Tuileries from Neuilly, on Monday, at noon, and at half-past twelve a Cabinet Council was held, at which his Majesty presided. The sitting occupied an hour. The Court returned to Neuilly to dinner. The following summary of the business of the session appears in Galignani .—" The Chamber of Peers, con voked on December 27, has held 101 public sittings in 223 days, and passed 117 Bills, of which 75 related to mere local objects. The Address, to which the Chamber of Deputies devoted twelve sittings, was discussed and voted by the Chamber of Peers in one day, whilst the Secondary Instruction Bill occupied not less than 28 sittings. Amongst the Bills adopted by the Peers, the Secondary Instruction, Railroad Police, and Roulage Bills have not yet b een di scusse d in the Chamber of Deputies. Four new Peers have taken their seats during the session—the Prince de Joinville, M. Teste, M. Passy, and M. G. Delesert." The Journal des Dcbats states that Joseph Bonaparte was attended in his last moments by Louis and Jerome, his only surviving brothers. Nothing has been heard of these Princes for years and many persons believed them to be dead. During the month of November last there were eight fires in two , communes of the department of the Creuse, which, no doubt was entertained, were caused by incen• diaries. A few days ago a man named Lavaud was caught setting fire to a mill in the same country. Being brought before the magistrates, he confessed that he was the agent in one of the former fires, and accused a per son named Ripon of being his princip a l, or instigator. Both are committed for trial. On the 16th May last, Etienne Clement, a boy ten years old, of the village of Saint Mande, near Paris, went out bird-nesting with some of his companions. Seeing a nest in a hole on the side of a atone-quarry, to which there was no other access than by a plank thrown over a deep excavation, the boy ventured upon it, but only reached the middle, when the board broke, and he fell to the bottom and was killed. The father brought an action against M. Valette, the owner of the quarry, for the loss of the child through his negligence in laying down so insecure a board, claiming damages at 4,000 f. The trial took place yesterday before the Correctional Tribunal, and M. Valette was condemned to a fine of 50f. and also 800 f. damages. The railway from Altona to Kid, the length of which will be about 31 leagues (124 miles English), and which, in traversing the Duchy of Holstein throughout its whole extent, would unite the Elbe and the Baltic, is already more than half completed. The part of the line com prised between Altona and Feehrde (7i miles in length) is just finished. LAW AND POLICE. At the Shrewsbury assizes Susannah Wynne was con victed of stealing a brass candlestick, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. The case, which is cu • rious, will be found reported at length among the assize intelligence. In the case of Parry v. Lord Charles Fitzroy, being an action upon a bill of exchange accepted by the defend ant, and tried at Guildford, the jury gave a verdict for the full amount, with interest. In another action against the same defendant, a verdict was also given against him for 1,0121. An action was brought against a mai of the name of Parry, a parish broker, aged 70, by a sergeant of police for criminal conversation with his wife, when a verdict was given for the plaintiff—Damages 3001. The Carlisle assizes commenced on Tuesday. There are 17 prisoners in the calendar, the greater number of whom stand charged with petty thefts of a class more usually disposed of at sessions. The most serious case is one in which a person employed at the Post-office stands charged with embezzling the contents of a letter. There are 11 causes entered for trial. At Lambeth-street Police-court, James Cockburn. Be laney was fully committed to take his trial for the mur der of his wife, by administering to her a quantity of prussic acid. COTIXT-PISSNIONAIII.II.

Mrs. Winton, the wife of the renter of the tolls and keeper of the gate, went out to open the gate and let a donkey chaise through, and whilst standing there, and al most before the chaise had passed through the gate, she was knocked with great violence against the gate-post by a a horse which was drawing a four-wheel chaise, and coming from the direction of Steyning. The poor woman fell, and was removed to her house, where she suryived only two hours, and never spoke during that time.
