UNITED STATES. DEATH OF GENERAL JACKSON. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. We have another arrival here - to-day From New York, the Shakespeare, Capt. Cornell, with papers one day later, the interest of which may be summed up in the announcement of the death of General Jackson. The particulars of this event are from the New York papers of the lids June t— '` The event for which the nation had been reiignedly looking for some time past has at last occurred, and the venerable Jackson is no more. The news, although it was anticipated, produced a marked sensation in this city. Many persons immediately closed their stores—flap were hoisted half-mast high on the liberty poles— and througlioat the community all seemed impressed with the feel. ing that a mighty man had departed for ever. General Jackson's name has long been associated with the history of this country, and will be now enrolled on the list of worthies who have done the republic no mean service. He had many faults, of which friends and enemies alike made as much as they could ; but he had also many virtues, and let them only be remembered now Amid the quire aid solemn shades of the Hermitage, and close by the ashes of his wife, " ' After life's fitful fever, he sleeps well.' "The Louisville Democrat, of Wednesday last, contains the following melancholy intelligence: — "' The tern of General Jackson's eventful life closed on Sunday, Sth instant, at six o'clock. On Sunday morning the report reached Nashville that he had expired, owing to his having fainted away, in the attempt to remove him from his chair to his bed. He, how ever recovered for a few hours. A short time before his death, be twit an affectionate leave of his friends and domestics, retaining to the last his senses and intellect unctiuded. He expired with the utmost calteness, ex. pressing the highest confidence in a happy immortality through a Redeemer. '• • General Houston landed at Nashville at half.past six on Sunday evening, and set off in haste to the Hermitage, but was met by the physician, who informed him that the General was no " ' We received this intelligence from Colonel J. C. Eldredge, who accompanied General Houston from Texas, and who is now on his way to Wa.hington city. _ . . . . . " ' The simple announcement of this melancholy though long. expected event will excite the deepest emotion in the hearts of the American people. The memory of Jackson belongs to his country. Her history will contain the record of his valuable services, his sterling patriotism, and a nation's gratitude will be his monument. " ' The funeral, we understand, was to have taken place yester day morning. " he Common Council last evening passed resolutions appro. priate to the occasion, appointed a joint clinniittee to confer with other citizens, and report at a special meetin4 a plan for a more general maniiestation of the public sorrow, in view of this melan choly diipensation of Providence. General Andrew Jack , on was born March 15,1667, and died June 8,1845, in his 78th year." We regret. als., to announce the death of Edward L. Carey, 'Esc!, of Philadelphia, who for many years was the senior partner in the house of Carey and Hart, the eminent pub lishers of this city. Our amh ices front Montreal extend to the 15th instant, by which we learn that great exertions were made to push dry goods sales by 'auction, but little business appears to have been transacted. Freights were still in a dull state, owing to the number of vessels clearing being more than was actually re qu t. e d for the demand that existed. The Flour Market was dull, and prim-es remained at 245. to 245. 9d.: Pot Ashes were 235. 3d. to 235. 6d. ; Pearls had fallen 3d., and sold at 245. to 245. 3d. The Wesleyan Conference of ministers had terminated their sittings. Great numbers of emigrants were arriving, all of whom were pushing their way to the west. In comtwrcial matters there is little worthy of remark. Ashes sell firmly at at 3 dolls. 81 cents. No sales of cotton of importance, but prices very firm. Provisions are in good demand at firm prices. NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE, JUNE 16.-6,000 dols. Indiana Sty;, 34; 3,000 dots. ditto, dol., 34; 20,000 dols.

INQUEST AT BALLINITASSIG. The inquzst was resumed on Saturday morning. Under the directions of the Coroner the police force were called in ; they were accompanied by their officer, Mr. Kelly. Mr. Watsh—Are these the men who formed the party at Bal.. linhassig on that fair night ? Mr. Scannell—Certainly. Mr. Walsh—Will it be admitted that the seven persons, whose oodles have been viewed by the jury, died from gunshot wounds fin d by that party ? Mr. Scannell— Phis is a most unprecedented course. Mr. Percy (county inspector)-1 may state to Mr. Walsh that there can be no doubt of the tact. Mr. Scannell—There is no allegation that shots were fired by any but police, and we admit that what firing took place was under the command of the officer. I cannot go beyond that. Mr. Walsh it be admitted that the firing to the end was with the sanction of the officers? Mr. Scannell—The genera order was given prior to the corn muncement of the firing, and it was given under the impression that it was not only justifiable but essential. lam not prepared to say .hether the firing was continued to the end with the sar.ction of the officer. W4l.ll—Before the firing ceased did he giveorders to cease? ISlr. Scannell—No. The CORONER—We may take it that it was under the first order they acted throughout. Mr. Scatine.l—That may or may not appear in the evidence. The evidence was then proceeded with. The whole day was consumed in the examination of two of the country people—Denis Ditany and Patrick Hurley—whose testimony was to the same effect as that given by the w itnesses rui the previous day. Delany swore most priaitively that no injury was done to the back of the Dispensary until there were three corpses on the road outside; but subsequently, on Ms depositions being read over by the Conmer, he corrected himself by saying that he had not, at the time he saw the bodies, a view of the back of the Dispensary. The inquiry was then adjourned to Monday morning. RI , PEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, JUL , : 7.—The weekly meeting of the Association, which took place to-day, was greatly crowded. Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by several of the leading members of the body, was present, and upon his entrance was loudly cheered. Mr. M. O'Connell, M. P , presided. Mr. DAVIS moved the adoption of a draught of a petition to be extensively distributed in Ulster for the purpose of obtaining signatures to it, praying the House of Commons not to pass any Bill touching the tenantry of Ireland, without enacting therein a cl ruse recognising and saving whale the custom commonly called " the tenant.ri,;ht of Ulster." Mr. O'CoNNELL seconded the motion, and denounced any at tempt to hued . , re with the existing tenant right as a scheme of robbery by the landlords He pledged himself to make every exertion in his power not only to preserve the present tenant-right fur the people of Ulster, but to extend it to every other part of Ireland. The petition having been adopted, Mr. O'CoNstet.i. again rose, and said that he had a few observa tions to make on the subject of his recent mission to England. He denied that he had ever made any declaration of total absence from his Parliamentary duties, as was asserted by some of the English journals. What he had said was, that he should not go over unless for the purpose of endeavouring to effect some good or to avert some evil. He was also reported to have declared himst If favour. able to mixed enucatton. and to have given an a.pinion to the effect that the political tart of the New Colleges Bill would do no harm to Ireland. Now, both these reports were utterly untrue. As to Mr. Roebuck, he had bean comp'aisant enough not to attack him ( O'Conn. II) since he wen , Over to radon. Now in truth he cared as little fur his a'nree as for the barkinl of a cur-dog, and he b gg , d p,don of the four loured animal fir the coinverison.— (Laughter.) That was all he hail to say about little Roebuck, and he would next call attention to she present posture of affairs. The Hon. Gentle an then recounted the steps which he and Mr. S. O'Brien tor:k in the House of Commons in opposition to the New Banking and, Colleges Bills, and stated hit objections in e.rtenso to the latter measure, denounc.ng it as penal, restrictive, and having a tendency to corrupt the youth of the country. He in culcated the necessity of concilite ing persons of all political opinions, and earnestly condemned the system of Ribandism and Molly Magu;reism, which is spreading ti.rough the country. He adverted to the rt cent fatal co lision between the police and the country people n the county of Cork, where thirteen " innocent" persons lust their lives, and held it up as a warning to all to abstain from outrage and violence. The loss of life on that occasion had taken place in consequence of the manner ;n wh.ch the police were armed. In his opinion, the Government was wrong to send out the police on every occasion with deadly weapons in their hands. He also alluded to she assassination of Mr. Booth, and called upon wretches like his murderer to recollect that the red arm of God's vengeance was rat-eel agaiiat them, and that, if their crime was unrepented, their final doom was as certain as it was horrible to contemplae. He concluded by calling on the repeal wardens to rally with him for tranquillity, old Ireland, and the repeal. A resolution was adop ed, to the effect that the Rev. T. Maguire's speech at the Cavan meeting of magistrates should be printed and circulated in Cavan and the adjoining counties. _ _ - _ Mr. H. GRATTAN and Mr. J. O'CONNELL addressed the meeting at great lengrh ag.inst the New Education Bill. The week's rent was stated to amount to 4071. Is.

TVISsDAY.Ly S.—The Duchess de Coley and suite loft yesterday afternoOn in the packet ?davit fur Dieppe, en rout.: for Paris. more THE. SUN, LONDON, WEDNESD The Gaming and Wager Bill was read a third time and passed. The Documentary Evidence Bill was read a second time, and their Lordships adjourned. The Commons met at twelve o'clock. Immediately after assembling the House resolved itself into Com mittee on the Commons Inclosure Bill. Clauses up to 70 were agreed to, and the House resumed. _ _ . After the transaction of private business, Lord PALMERSTON rose to bring forward the motion of which he had given notice relative to the right of search. Th is motion gave rise to a lengthened debate, in the course of which the House was addressed by Sir R. Peel, Mr. Sheil, Sir R. H. Inglis, Sir C. Napier, Mr. Hope, and Captain Pechell. Sir R. PEEL intimated his refusal to produce the papers referred to, and the House divided, when there appeared—For the motion, 51 ; against it, 94; ma jority against the motion, 43. The report of the Irish Colleges Bill was brought up by Mr. WYSE. The Field Gardens Bill was then read a third time, and the House adjourned at Two o'clock. From the perhaps purposely ambigious manner in which Sir ROBERT PEEL, on Monday night, spoke to the intentions of Government as to the usual process of burking" the accumulations of business, in the shape of Bills in progress, but too embarrassing to be carried on to their final stages without much of difficulty or in convenience, we are inclined to look upon the chances of settlement prior to the close of the session, for any given question, as extremely precarious. Among the ques tions which we have no manner of doubt the Ministers would be too happy to bide over, are those which regard the deficiencies of our naval effective service under the present Admiralty ad ministration. By next session we can easily imagine that the Government, under the influence of that "pre sure from without," which (thank GOD !) is not likely to be soon withdrawn, unless the evils it is sought to remedy shall have been previously relieved, will have so far amended and reformed the enormous defects of the manning, armament, and construction of our men-of war, steamers, and sailing vessels, as to be prepared with' at least a plea in mitigation ! As it appears to us, however, to be of very great advantage to keep the public attention closely fixed upon matters which so essentially regard its most vital interests, we take leave to notice, among other "pending questions," which we do not wish to see cushioned, together with the session, the admitted imperfections of our naval preparations generally. For this purpose, we are 1114• willing to pass over a significant article that appeared last week in the Hampshire Advertiser, in re lation to the evolutions of the "Experimental Squadron:, It repeats the statement we made oa a former occasion on a different authority, that the largest of all the ships in this squadron, the Queen, of 110 guns, had but 50 able seamen on her books, having actually joined the squadron with but 25, out of her complement of 700 men. The boasted increase of the various ships' com plements, which the champions of Admiralty manage ment as it is had been previously holding up as matters for public applause and thankfulness, has turned out, ac cording to the Hampshire Advertiser, to consi , t in the addition of a grand total of between 200 and 300 general service men and marines to the whole squadron. " The navy was never so deficient in good seamen as at this moment ; and, in point of naval construction, we are as far behind perfection as we were when the Victory was built. How humiliating is the fact, that in 1815, we are so deficient in right principles upon ship-building, that squadrons are required to be sent out to sea in order to decide which is the best model to construct upon." When one reads of facts suck as these to-day, and learns to-morrow that so slovenly has been the dock-yard estimate of a newly built and equipped man-of-war's immersion, with her guns and stores aboard, that on her first trip she is found to sink beneath her coppering, and occupies the entire labour of a hundred shipwrights in adding a streak or two to her entire sheathing in order to make good so dangerous a defect, one may well be excused for enter taining serious alarm lest, in the bustle, and confthion, and hurry of a closing session, the warning voices of our naval censors, in and out of Parliament, should be for gotten or slumbered over. Now we do earnestly call upon those Members of the House of Commons who have already done so much good service in apprising the Legislature and the country of the delusions they have been led into by statements vouched, on authority that must have been fully informed of their falsehood, as to the almost perfect condition of our ships, and their crews, and their armaments, not to allow this salutary agitation on the subject of naval mismanagement to subside out of sight and hearing, together with dropped orders of the day on discarded Bills and indefinitely postponed motions. That agita tion, we trust, will never cease, or even relax, until the reproach of such maladministration and such palpable practical defects in the most important arm of the public service, be removed. _ _ _ Surely, these are no times for trifling with cardinal faults in the condition of its materiel, and the establish ment, the discipline, and the supply of the most im portant classes of the staff by which that materiel is to be worked and dealt with. Let us hope that the vital propositions which have been overted, from time to time, by the highest professional authorities for pro viding and keeping up an adequate supply, at all times, of able seamen,—for dis; arding the present ungracious, harsh, and (we may even ti rm it) suicidal system of " paying off" a man-of-war's crew, after any length of service, however hard, and in whatever climate. on her coming home— and " throwing them off," at the same instant, upon the wide world to shift fc..r them selves (as if their constancy, their intrepidity, their for titude and patience, their disciplined skill, and promp titude in discharging all the duties of good seamen and able hands, as that interval had given them—of all the tried servants of the public—no claim upon the equity, the consideration, the genero.ity, even, of the State, over and above the title to their pay, and certificates up to the date of their discharge)—let us hope that these propositions will not be allowed to pass out of the view of Parliament before it rises for the recess, and that the Douse of Commons will not allow itself to be mys tified out of the present adoption of these practical and indispensable reforms in the navy, where they can in stantly be carried into execution; and where they can not, that they will insist upon positive guarantees for their being carried into full effect at the earliest possible period. To those who take a deep interest in the only true and permanent source of our national prosperity—namely, the extension and resources of our comnr rce—the Returns of Trade" which have just been presented to both Houses of Parliament, by command of her MAJESTY, will be appreciated in all their importance. These re turns are for "the ports of Canton, Amoy, and Shang hai, for the year 1844." The originals were trans mitted by J. F. DAVIS, Esq., her MAJESTY'S Plenipoten tiary in China, in a dispatch, dated Victoria, llong- Kong, February 7, 1845, which is No. 1 in this collection. Mr. DAVIS, in calling attention to the exceedingly able paper (Inclosure No. 1 in his dispatch) from Mr. Consul MACGREGOR, remarrg, " These returns exhibit a great increase, particularly in cotton goods, notwithstanding the resort of British shipping to the new ports of China ; and I am happy to find that the previous feeling of on the part of the people has completely died away, the fifth instalment of the in demnity being paid without the slightest popular de monstration." Besides Mr. F. MAcGREGoa's Inclosure No. 1, above referred to, we have other five inclosures, numbered from two to six inclusive, all bearing the signature of the same gentleman. They are all of great importance. No. 2 is a " Return of the number and tonnage of merchant vessels which arrived at, and departed from, Canton in the year ending December 31, 1844, dis tinguishing the countries to which they belonged." From hence it appears that the arrivals were 308 vessels; agcregate of their tonnage 142,699. Of these, 228 were British vessels ; 57 American ; 11 Dutch ; French, Belgian, Danish, and Swedish (2 each) ; Bremen 1. Ile tonnage of the British bottoms was 1)1,850 ; of the American, 23,273 ; of the Dutch, 3,878 ; of the Belgian, 1,151 ; and of the French, 751 ; and of other flags, from 290 to 590 tons respectively. Under head of " Vessels Departed," the total number is 296 ; aggregate tonnage, 140,182. Of these the number of British was—(vessels) 228, ton nage, 112,142 ; of foreign, 28,040 ; there were Ame rican, 49 vessels ; tons, 21,600 ; Dutch, 9 vessels ; ton nage, 3,013 ; French, 2 ; tonnage, 632 ; Belgian, 2 ; tonnage, 1,151; Swedish, 2 vessels; tonnage, 581 ; Da nish, Ilamburgh, Bremen, Russia, 1 vessel each ; ton nage from 219 to 320 ; British, 228 vessels ; tonnage, 112,142. The next inclosure (No. 3.), is an extended detail of No. 2. Inclosure No. 4, is " A return of the quantities and value of merchardise imported into the Port of Canton" in 206 British vessels (of 104,322 tons), and 95 Hong-Kong (of 5,774) during same interval. This is a most gratifying statement, seeing that under the three heads of British manufactures and staple ar ticles, manufactures of cotton, and miscellaneous articles, raw and manufactured, the estimated value in Spanish dollars is no less than 7,860,676 Spanish dollars, which, at the exchange value assumed for this coin by Mr. MACGREGOR (p. 12) of 4s. 4d. per dollar, is 1,702,313/. 2a in a single year for the single port of Canton. Produc tions of India and other countries add to this amount 10,064,684 Spanish dollars. The grand total for Canton is, therefore, 17,025,360 dolt., or 3,883,8231. sterling. Inclosure No. 5, a similar account of quantities and value of merchandise exported from Canton in 164 British vessels of 83,679 tons to various countries. This return is arranged under two heads, " Raw Produce" (whereof was exported to British India, Great Britain, and British colonial possessions, to the value of Spanish dollars 16,398,950), and " Manufactured Articles" to the value of 526,410 dols. Total exports, 17,925,360 dols., or 3,883,8281. Inclosure No. 6 is a statement of tonnage dues, import and export duties paid by British vessels in the port of Canton for six weeks to Dec. 31, 1844. Adding the last six months of 1843 to the first six months of 1844, the total registered tonnage for one year was 125,192 ; total tonnage dues, 18,493/. ; import and export duties, 516,4101. ; grand total, 534,9031. Mr. DAVIS, in his dispatch to the Earl of AnEnnEEtt, No. 2, incloses " Re turns of the foreign trade of all other nations with Canton." Alluding to these important and curious do cuments, Mr. Dews writes," The manner in which these returns have been drawn up by that gentleman has given general satisfaction on their being published." The ge neral statistics of the American trade with Canton for 1844 may be thus stated :—lmports in forty-nine Ame rican vessels (20,292 tons) 2,445,870 dells. Of this sum, to the value of 46,056 dols., were articles imported from Singapore ; 85,567 dols. from Manilla, Bali, and Batavia ; 8,622 dols. from the South Sea Islands, and from Boston, Mexico, and Lima, in treasure, 1,125,700 dols.; in all 1,265,945 Spanish dollars. The remaining amount of 4,179,925 dols., or 255,6551., were the value of imports from all parts of the United States, chiefly New York. The total of American exports during the same period was 6,686,171 dols. The French trade re turns a total of imports into Canton of 33,823 dols., and of exports thence, of 37,130 dols. (or 7,328/. 155., and 8,0451. sterling respectively.) Total imports of Dutch trade with Canton 231,708 dols., and of exports (mis printed " imports," at foot of page 19), 572,186 dols., or, respectively, 50,2034, and 152,5831. sterling. Of the Belgian trade, the exports were 1,9501. sterling, and the imports 13,1121. The Danish exports were—nil. Im ports, 4,327/. The value of Swedish imports was 3,950/., and exports 33,299/. Of the German trade with Canton the imports were to the value of 26,6231., and the exports to 3,0631. sterling. From all these data, which will enable our readers to form a tolerably accurate estimate of the value of the foreign as well as British trade of Canton, only exports and imports for 1844, it results that the total of imports was in value 3,866,037 L, and of the ex ports, 5,528,0221. There is a return from Mr. R. ALCOCK, who sub scribes himself " Officiating Consul" at the Port of Amoy, and another from Mr. BALFOUR, her MAJESTY'S Consul for Shanghai. But neither of these is so com plete or satisfactory as the papers of Mr. F. MACGREGOR, and both are unaccompanied by any memoir or statement. They are, besides, mtr.lh less intelligibly prepared, to the apprehension of the general reader. The trade of Amoy would seem to be at present but insignificant. The " grand total" of ships arrived, British, was 12 (of 3,415 tonnage) ; of foreign, 7 ; tonnage, 1,001. Invoice value of cargoes of former, 8,819 ; ditto of the latter, 3,7931. By the returns for the port of Shanghai, the value of the cargoes imported (in the year) appears to have been 501,355/., upon which the duties paid amounted to 76,4601. Neither number of ships nor aggregate of tonnage is here stated. We recur with pleasure to the papers of Mr. Cons MACGREGOR, as holding out the most encouraging pr spects of the future growth of our trade with the Chinese empire, and demonstrating that the scale of extension it has already attained far exceeds, as to Canton at any rate, what it has been at former periods, and is based on elements of permanency and popularity in relation to the manners and the cants of the Chinese people. If these assumption s be, as we think them, well founded, it is scarcely pJasible to anticipate the extent of the market whickre.sy, in the lapse of a few years, be realised for our gr.oufactured cottons and coarse woollens. In the sequel Or circumstances the most apparently unfavourable, and after the deadly conflict of natural animosities and pre judices the most intense, we seem to have now established a decided taste for the productions of our looms and our mills. "I he first year of the new system of trade in its full operation has now elapsed ; and if allowance be made for several inconveniences inseparable from a change so sudden, it must be allowed that the new sys tem works as well as could possibly be expected, consi dering the character and political institutions of thu people with whom we have to deal. All monopolies, with the exception of a few, reserved by the Chinese Government, have ceased ; the foreign shipping is no longer exposed to the caprice and extortion of rapacious mandarins ; and the duties both of imports and exports are, in most instances, fixed on so moderate a scale as hardly to offer a sufficient temptation to the regular merchants to evade them." This document, however, is so important and various in its character, that we shall need no apo logy with our readers for recurring to it in a future paper. In the meanwhile, we conceive that the facts condensed into the following paragraph are fraught with mattter for unmingled satistaction to the British public. They are a noble homage to the spirit of the councils, the energy of the people, and the constancy and intre pidity of the services by which and through whom results so signally encouraging have been arrived at:—" The revenue derived from the duties levied upon British trade at Canton, last year, in conformity with the tariff. will show a total of " taels " of 1,777.524 5 0 8. or, 2,468,784 dols., of which amount 85,351 dols. were levied on shipping ; 821,882 dols. on imports ; and 1.561,551 dots. on exports. Calculating the articles of import, exclusive of treasure, which is duty free, at 15,500,000 dols , and the value of exports at 17,925,000 dols., the duty computed upon the former will be found equal to 5i per cent., and upon the latter to nearly 9 per cent. ad valorem. Thus, the British trade, at Carton alone, supplied a much greater amount of revenue to the Chinese Government than the sum (2,084,000 dots.) at which the produce of the whole of the China trade was estimated by Mr. THOM in the year 1842." Madrid journals of the Ist instant have been received. The Gazette of that date contains a royal ordonnance, signed by the Minister of the Interior, with the conditions of the pro posed loan for the repair and construction of public roads. The payments would be made in five years, and the contracts concluded ou the Ist of September next. It was said that the Gazette would al,o publish in a few days a new loan to the State by the bank of San Fernando, to the amount of 60,0001. per month for the following six months. These papers contain various rumours respecting the marriage of the QUEEN, the differences between NARVAEZ and Cult's- TINA, and the future movements of the . Court, upon which little confidence can be placed. On the Ist the Three per Cents. closed at 30 1 4 for cash, and 3314 at 50 days; the Five per Cents. at 21 at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest at 6% for cash. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the result of the negotiations relative to the Jesuits, and though divided io opinion as to the parties to whom credit is due for the settle ment of the question, they agree, with the exception of the Legitimatist journals, as b the benefits which it is likely to confer on France. These Carlist papers display the most bitter disappointment, and vent the rage of their party in loud complaints, not even sparing the infallible father of the Church The Quotidienne says :—" Such is the catastrophe of M. Rossi's negotiations. By dint of genuflexions in the chapel of the Jesuits at Rome, he has obtained the dispersion of the Jesuits in Paris. Thus M. GuizoT is as grand as the Duke DE CHOISEUL, with this difference, -that CHOISEUL did not count the beads of his rosary to gain the bull of CLEMENT XIV. But in this, as in all other political affairs to be de cided by the power of the POPE, there is a worldly influence which cannot at all times be comprehended and judged of. This is not a question of dogma essentially touching the con science of the Catholic ; it is a governmental affair affecting only political liberty and constitutional right. There is no thing, therefore, to prevent our declaring that the Papal de cision, so far as it concerns our civil state, our constitutional principles, our purely legal organisation, is a fault —an enormous fault, the consequences of which must very shortly be felt either by the Church of France or by the Holy See itself." This journal in another place, on the authority of letters from Rome, contradicts the statements made in the Govern ment papers, and says the note published by them is founded on u scandalous equivoke. Concessions, it is true, have been made, but not of the nature of those stated. The Constitu tionnel claims all the merit of the affair for its patron, M. TRIERS, to whom the Journal des Debats, in a style peculiarly its own, pays the following ironical com pliments : " We have not the slightest desire to triumph at the expense of the Jesuits, who for the moment have ceased to exist, still less at the exrense of the Church of France, which will soon recognise, we are persuaded, that the Government has never better served the real interests of religion than at present. Besides, every one cannot triumph at the sane time, and we see that M. Thiers has already claimed all the honour of the nego tiation. It is the illustrious chief of the Left Centre who did all ; the Ministry has only been the humble executor of his high behests. We expected this. For some time past M. Thiers has been matching from one success to another. A few days ago he negotiated with England, and obtained the suppression of the right of search ; at present he negotiates with Rome, and obtains the suppression of the Jesuits, But what is truly awkward is, that M. Thiers is not a great politician except when he is not Minister. When he is in the Opposition he assures the liberty of thought, the repose of the country, and the security of the territory. By wh t fatalty doe; it come to pass, then, that when he is in power he does precisely the contrary ? Was it in 11340, for instance, that M. Thiers assured the repose of the country 2 But however the matter may be, we shall willingly allow the illustrious chief of the Lett Centre to trium,.h. Tnat does no harm to any one. We shall have nothing to say to the policy of M. Thiers, so long as it shall b, worked out by M. Guiaot ; and if this position is to U. Thiers' taste, we recommend him to keep it. He has all the glory of power without any of the anxiety. He beholds his opinions triumphing, without his histories' labours being Interrupted. We NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.

The majority and the country consider M. Tillers far better in Opposition, and M. Tillers appears to be of the same opinion. Every one, therefore, is satisfied ; and truly it is a most fortunate thing that so great a statesman should be at the same time so great a philosopher." According to some of the journals sixty-two master car penters have yielded to the demands of the journeymen, and have agreed to pay them five francs a day, in consequence of which about 500 had returned to work. The KLNG and QUEEN, the Duke and Duchess DE NE 3totrns, the Duke and Duchess 9'AumALE, the Prince and Princess AUGUSTUS DE SAXE COBURG, and the young Prince of WURTEMBURG, had left Neuilly for Trianon, where they have taken up their residence. The Duchess of ORLEANS, with the Count DE PARIS, and the Duke DE CHARTRES, had also arrived there on Friday. On Sunday the weather was oppressively hot at Paris. At six in the morning FAHREN HEIT'S thermometer marked 68 in the shade, at noon 86, aad at two in the afternoon 90 degrees.

There are various arrivals to-day from different quarters, principally Australia and the Cape of Good Hope, but they bring nothing of prominent interest. The date from Sydney is March 18. The commercial markets were steadier. Graham's Town papers of clay 1 state that the 'kers conti nued to be very dissatisfied at Natal, and that beyond the Orange river the Griqua native tribes and the farmers were very much embittered against each other, and likely to have frequent conflicts unless our troops acted very decisively in favour of the Griquas. This being dividend day at the Bank of England there is a very full attendance of annuitants, and not much business , is doing at present, owing to the more attractive employ ment. Consols are flatter, having been 99 to 14. Bank Stock is 2101 to 211. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 1021: %.

Mr. BAGSHAWE said that the action had not been tried In con sequence of Mr, Jarvis, Mr. Van Sandau's leading counsel, having advised him that the best course to be adopted would be to request the Lord Chancellor to dispose of the whole matter, both at law and in equity, without a retertnce. Any order that his Lordship might make Mr. Van Sandau would cheerfully submit to. Mr. SWANSTON said that his client would be most grateful to his Lordship if he would decide the whole matter. As to the action, they were quite willing that a stet processus should be entered ; if, however, any proceedings were taken with respect to the costs at law, then his client must request that their common-law coun sel might be beard. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would dispose of all the ques. tions, except the question of damages, without a reference, but wish respect to them a reference must be directed to the Master. Mr. BAGSHAWE was willing to accede to any arrangement most readily on the behalf of Mr. Van Sandau. The only question now was, on what day the Courtwould decide it? The Loan CHANCELLOR would let the parties know in a few days when he would give his opinion. He thought it would be better for him to decide the different proceedings that had been raised in that Court. and then to hear Mr. Jarvis and the other common-law gentlemen on the question of costs, if it was necessary. The question of the damages Mr. Van Sandau had sustained must be dec:clid by the Master upon a reference. Mr. BAGSHAViE observed, perhaps Mr. Van Sandau might be in. clined to give up the reference. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought the parties had adopted a most wise course. Mr. BAGSHAWE wished it to be understood that all Mr. Van Sandau's counsel agreed in the propriety of the course suggested by Mr. Jarvis. Appeals occupied his Lordship the remainder of the day. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The further arguments in the part-heard case of Lord Nelson v. Lord Bri, port occupied his Lordship the Master of the Rolls the whole day. VICE-CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY•) The Vice. Chancellor of England was occupied the whole day with motions and causes of no interest; the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce took bankrupt petitions and causes; and the Vice- Chancellor Wigram, after disposing of Morris r. Howe, proceeded to hear the arguments in Forsyth v. Ellis, which occupied the greater part of the morning. ABINGDON ELECTION.

Duckworth EXETER, TUESDAY. 5 ?.M. FINAL CLOSE or THE POLL. —The High Sheriff has just declared the state of the poll as follows : Duckworth Briggs Al jot ity At the election in April last Major-General Briggs polled 529, so that there is, in less than fifteen months, an accession of 59 voters to the free-trade cause, amongst a constituency entirely dependent on the agricultural interest. Ihe number of electors in the city is 2.653, so that a number, namely, 1,395, exceeding in amount all who recorded their votes in favour of the successful candidate, remain unpolled. We wish, for the credit and consistency of Exeter, we could justify as easily as we can account for this self-disfranchisement of the Exonians. The truth is, that the old Whigs, the friends of Mr. Divett, the supporters of Lord John Russell's fixed duty, are fixed in the determination of neglecting their own duty, and are not yet prepared to follow their great political chief in his liberal and enlightened views on trade and commercial policy. The aristocracy and squirearchy of a wide range of neighbourhood have resorted, without disguise and without shame, to the usual " influences" they so well know how to apply ; but, despite all their terrorism, the Liberals might have won the election had they been (*sly true to themselves. Duckworth .... 19,1 FIRE IN BARBICAN. — Last night, between eleven and twelve, a fire was discovered raging in the basement floor of the house of Mr. Pim, linendraper, arc., No. 57, Barbican; but it was ingeniously got under by the firemen, who cut a hole through the Boor above, and played water upon the flames from the West of England engine. The damage was considerable. lI{E AT BLACENVAT L.—EIGHT li OITgrE BURNT.— Last night a fire broke out in one of the house in Folly.row, near the Folly- house, Blackwall, and which destroyed eight houses, the abode of nearly forty persona, who have lost the whole of their furniture, and in some instances the greater portion of their wear. ing apparel. The first discovery was made between the hours of seven and eight, by one of the occupiers named West, a poor water. man, whose attention, it appears, was directed to the chimney of his hahitation, by noticing flames issuing out of the same. He immediately got upon the roof and endeavoured to subdue the fire, which was then confined to the chimney In that, however, he was foiled, for the door of the room having been left open, and the wind blowing strong from the south.weat, the flames and sparks Were driten Uptiti the roof ; Which, being composed of thatch, was very speedily in a general blaze. As soon as the fire became visi. ble in the High-street, mounted police were dispatched fur the aid of the engines. With all possible expedition the parish engines Were drawn out, but from the peculiar situation of the blazing premises, they *ere unable to get sufficiently near to render the least assistance. Meanwhile the fire, unrestrained, con tinued to hurts With the greatest intensity, completely light ing up the river as far as Greenwich and Woolwich. The engines of the London establishment from Schoolhouse-lane, Wellelese and Jeffrey.squares stations, with Crookland, the fore. man of the district, Were remarkably quick in arriving, but un fortunately the distance of the road from the fire prevented them froth getting to work in anything like time to stop the ravages of the fire. To get to the spot the engines were obliged to be takers across the marshes of the Isle of Dogs. When matters were at length adjusted one engine was effectively worked; but the only good that could be done was the putting nut the bodies of solid fire lying scattered along the ground. By nine o'clock the whole clump of houses, eight in number, were nearly destroyed, very little more remaining than the bare walla. The whole of the oc cupiers, hard-working people, have thereby been bereft of every. thing they once possessed. The following are the names of the sufferers :—James West, Joseph West, and Joseph Taylor, water men ; Joseph West, a gardener; John Didden, a sawyer; James Moore, captain of the Emma ; William Leonaru, police inspector; arid Joseph Lund. We Barn from unquea'ionable authority that the Hon. Louis M'Lane, of Baltimore, formerly Minister Plenipo tentiary to the Court of St. James's, has received from Mi. Presi dent Polk the appointment to the same post, and that lie will shortly succeed his Excellency Ed ward Everett, the present Mi nister. Mr. M`Lane was for some time Secretary for the United States, but resigned his office in consequence of an unwillingness on his part to assist in carrying out the views of the thee} Presidnit, General Jackirop,—pot.
