To-morrow evening Mr. LOCKE'S motion for re scinding the order relating to . Post-office Sunday de liveries will enable the House of Commons delibe rately to decide between the dictates of common sense and fanaticism. If we are to build up our con jectures as to the result of the Honourable Member's proposition upon the only rational foundations—those of a calm and dispassionate exercise of the most ordi nary judgment—we shall not remain in much doubt as to the course which will be thereupon adopted by the popular branch of the Legislature. One considera tion must be self-evident to the least refleetive among our representatives, and this consideration is moreover, of a character most intimately affecting their retention of their seats in Parliament—we mean the consideration that their votes to-morrow night will be most closely scrutinised by their respective con stituencies. Upon those votes their return at the next general election is mainly dependent ; for if the subject about to be brought under discussion is no t one of a nature involving the adoption or rejection of any grand scheme, either of internal or international policy, it is one of a yet greater significance to the vast bulk of the communit3 —being immediately cal culated to influence the comfort, the conve nience, and the pockets of the population. In reference to this question of the Post-office Sunday deliveries, the public at large are actuated by the most resolute determination to withstand the retrogressive movement of superstition. If there is one vice more detestable than another in the view of the multitude, it is that of cant or religious hy pocrisy. Let that Let be borne in recollection by our Legislators, and let i; not be forgotten that the people who feel the most strongly opposed to these fl grant acts of the Sabbatarians are the mass of the ten-pound householders. The saints, it is true, have loaded the tables of both Houses with petitions in favour of the principles advocated by Lord ASHLEY and his associates, but—the circum stance is worth remembering—it is not electors alone who can, or do, put their signatures to a peti tion. Recent disclosures have shown what little im portance can be attached to these very specious docu ments. It has been demonstrated in rather painful colours that in many instances they are the results either of fraud or intimidation. As to their expreas ing the real sentiments of the community the mere notion is altogether preposterous. We obtained a lamentable proof not very long ago that the most formidable looking petitions brought under the consideration of the Houses of Parliament, may be, and occasionally have been the accumulated scrawl of pot-boys and ticket- porters, collected at the street corners, and in terspersed at intervals by words of the grossest in decency, the lowest slang, and sometimes by epithets of the most blasphemous description. We would not, of course, intimate that such are the disgraceful characteristics of the various petitions forwarded to the Lords and Commons, in the name and on behalf of the so-called SAbatarians. We mention an ac knowledged and notorious fact in relation to these sup plicatory papers. simply in testimony of the valueless nature of many of these petitions from the supposed population. Doubtless, among those who have in scribed their names upon several of these documents, many have been instigated to do so by the purest mo tives, and by feelings of the most conscientious since rity. But many also, it is well known, and those consti tuting the majority, have either been intimidated into so doing, or have assumed to themselves a representa tive character to which they were by no means entitled. For example, in one or two of the Scottish cities and horoughs, men have come forward and petitioned Parliament in the name of large classes of the community—and those classes of the com munity have, meanwhile, sympathised not in the slightest particular with their proceedings One or two medical men, for instance, have pertly spoken to the Government or to the Legislature in the name ef the physicians of a wide and populous locality— trose physicians being at the very time in profound ignorance of their chicanery and machinations ! It has been over and over again, in regard to divers trades and professions, the illustration of the old story of the three tailors of Tooley-street calling themselves the people of England. Another consideration of very striking and sig nificant importance is entitled to the serious attention of the Parliament and of the Government. We allude 'o the consideration as to what would be the course pursued in regard to these Post-office Sunday deli veries during time of war, or in case of invasion. Where would be the regulation of the day of unin terrupted repose under such an extraordinary pres sure of circumstances ? And if under ordinary cir cumstances the transmission of intelligence on the Sunday is sinful, equally ainful would it necessarily be under these or under any other extraordinary circumstances : the deduction from all which is of course sufficiently obvious. It is sufficiently obvious chat the pious project o' the saints is altogether im practicable, and that it cannot pass scatheless through the old ordeal of the reductio ad absurdum. What would be allowable in time of war cannot, of course, be culpable in time of peace,', consequently, if, in the event of an invasion, it would be allowable to send intimation of the landing of foreign troops on any portion of the coast up to the seat of Government, it must be equally allowable at any period, and under any position of affairs, to withstand this intolerable scheme of a periodical stagnation. The logic of the thing is clear and unanswerable. Relig ion is as much religion to belligerents as it is t o the most pacifically disposed. As a glaring evidence of the feeling entertained, upon the subject of tbese Postal restrictions population of the metropolis , to the pub lic meeting convene d this eve ning , at o we may refer by the seven o'clock, in the London Tavern, presided over by Do IMLAS JERROLD, a man of large popularity. We would especially call the attention of Hon. Members to the fact of this assemblage of citizens in the heart of the British capital, seeing that it is the last public mania festation of the real sentiments of the community, upon the question at issue—sentiments which we are satisfied must be echoed to-morrow evening, in the House of Commons, by a large majority of the poor. lar representatives. Many complaints have recently been preferred, as well in public journals as in the popular branch of the Legislature, with respect to the alleged ill-treat ment to which Mr. SMITII O'BRIEN ba4 been sub jected since his arrival at the colony which has been selected as the scene of his exile. Mr. Cnisinoest ANSTET, on Tuesday evening, brought the subject under the consideration of the House of Commons by moving for an inquiry into the circumstances under which a letter, addreQsed by the unfor tunate and misguided gentleman to a Member of Parliament, bad been intercepted and opened in Van Diemen's Land by the local authorities. The discussion which then took place will be eminently useful, as it must completely remove any unfounded impressions that may have been entertained with' respect to the course of discipline and line of conduct F untied towards that gentleman, and mud entirely LONDON, exonerate the Home Government, as well as the colonial authorities, from any desire to aggravate the hardships incidental to the position in which he is placed, or to treat a political prisoner with any undue severity. It was clearly and distinctly shown that Mr. O'BurEra has only himself to blame for the annoyance and inconvenience so loudly complained of, and that, so far from exhibiting any unusual or unwarranted severity towards him, the Government had permitted indulgences not allowed to any other prisoner, and were anxious, as far as practicable, to mitigate the stringency of regulations that must prove very vexatious to any person who had formerly occupied a respectable position in society, and enjoyed the comforts and luxuries which had at all times been within Mr. O'BatErf's reach. It must not be forgotten that Mr. O'BRIEN had been convicted after a long and impartial investiga tion of an offence—the highest known to the law— which not only according to the criminal code in force in this country, but in every civilized nation in the world, subjected the offender to capital punish ment. The justice of that verdict was never impeached. It could not be disputed that he had aspired to be the leader of a new revolution, and that he had organized an armed resistance against the constituted authori ties, or, according to legal phraseology, bad " levied war upon the Sovereign." There were, however, some technical points raised by the ingenuity of the very eminent counsel by whom he was defended. These questions did not in any degree apply to his moral guilt. They were, however, solemnly argued, and if decided in his favour would have freed him from the penal consequences of his deliberate violation of the laws of the land. The judgment of the Irish judges was, however, unanimously against the pri soner, and that judgment was approved and confirmed without doubt or hesitation by the court of ultimate appeal—the highest tribunal in the United Kingdom. Mr. O'Butztes life was therefore justly forfeited, and none could have complained if the extreme penalty of the law had been carried into execution. But the Government, to their honour, decided that justice should be tempered with mercy. The rebellion had been crushed ; its leaders were in the bands of the authorities, but no victim was led to the scaffold. Never before had such moderation been exhibited under similar circumstances. The sentence of death was commuted to banishment, so far as the ring leaders were concerned, while a general amnesty was extended to minor offenders. On the arrival of the prisoners in Van Diemen's Land tickets of leave were, contrary to the usual custom, at once offered to the parties, which would render them, at least com paratively, free; the only condition attached was, tha t each should pledge his parole not to take advantage of the opportunities for escape that would be thereby afforded. His companions gratefully availed them selves of the indulgence, gave the required pledges, and were allowed to reside without restraint in certain specified districts, and to earn their livelihood by their own exertion, or to live on their own:resources. Mr. O'BRIEN alone was obstinate. He steadily refused to make any prom iee, or to enter into any compact whatsoever. He was in their hands ; they might act towards him as they pleased ; but he would not make the slightest concession. What then remained for the authorities ? They could not yield. They must either give a free and unconditional pardon, or must detain him in the prison and subject him to the discipline appointed for convicts who had not obtained tickets of leave. The latter course was adopted, but some especial favours were shown, with regard to classification and dietary, which were granted to no other prisoner. It is now stated that Mr. O'BRIEN is prevented from seeing friends or visitors, save under certain re strictions—that be is not permitted to purchase tea or other articles of luxury from his private purse— and that his correspondence is under surveillance, every letter being inspected by the local authorities before he is permitted to receive or forward it. Granted. But what is the rule in this highly favoured country with respect to every person, how ever high his rank, who is convicted even of a trifling offence and sentenced to a short term of im prisonment ? He is not allowed, except on rare occa sions and distant intervals, to see, or even to com municate with his frig rids. He is limited to the prison allowance, and no addition will be allowed, unless by order of the medical officer as absolutely essential to the preservation of his health ; and above all, and even before trial, when he is presumed to be innocent in the eye of the lax, every letter directed to him is opened before delivery, and those which he wishes to send must be handed unsealed to the gaoler, to be carefully perused, and we believed copied before it is forwarded. In every point, therefore, on which com plaints . have been preferred, Mr. OTatnsi is no worse off than any person who has been committed to prison for a short time for the most trifling breach of police regulations; and not only is this the case, but even these restrictions will be in.mediately relaxed if he chooses to accept the li beral proposition long since made to him. 'We deeply sympathise with the unfortunate gentleman, who we believe to have been perfectly sincere in his professions, and to have been animated with ardent although mistaken feelings of patriotism. 'We would rejoice as warmly as any of his most intimate friends at any further mitigation of his punishment, but we cannot admit that the Government is deserv ing of censure for the course it bas pursued, a course which, in place of being marked with undue severity, is deserving of the highest praise fur its leniency and moderation. As might have been expected, the Extramural Fitermonts Bill has been smuggled through the Committee of the House of Lords with all its objectionable clauses unaltered, and this measure, legalising one of the most outrageous schemes of clerical plunder ever propounded, will, in a few days, become the law of the land. 'We have received several letters expressing surprise and disap pointment at this result ; we must confess that we do not share in those feelings. Tnose who know the House of Lords know full well that any scheme, how ever unjust, however tyrannical, or however oppres sive, is certain to meet with the concurrence of their Lordships, provided only it goes to increase the rental of the landed aristocracy, or to put money in the purses of the beneficed clergy of the Established Church. THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE. His Grace the Duke of Cambridge still continues in a very precarious state. The following is the answer given to inquiries as to his health this morning:—" The Duke of Cambridge has passed a very bad night, but is a trifle better this morning." A great number of the leading gentry called this morning to inquire after his Royal Highness. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—My attention has been drawn .to a paragraph in your paper of the sth inst., announcing a contest for the county of Hereford, in consequence of the death of Joseph Bailey, E.q , our highly respected representa tive. Ido not know who your informtot msy be, but as the Parliamentary agent of Mr. Bailey, I am most happy to be enabled to state that he is not only living, but that his friends and constituents have every hope that he may be reitored to health, and his useful and valuable services continued to them. I need not say that the canvass of the county is a fabrication. I shall be obliged by your inserting this contradiction in your Hereford, J u ly 6, 1850. Paper. Yours obediently, NICHOLAS LANWARNE.

The young man has already been condemned to two months' imprisonment for having followed people in the streets with a double-barn:llrd pistol, threatening their live s. It is considered that his mind is unsound. ZSA BERMUDEZ, who we.s Minister of Spain at the death of FERDINAND VII., and to whose exertions CHRISTINA was indebted for her appointment to the Regency, died at Paris on Friday. The electoral lists for Paris, under the new law, are published. The number of electors for Paris is 74,000 ; under the old law they amounted to 224,000. Tne Corstitutionnel has tlw following from Monte Video, dated April 8 : _ . " The Arehim a ede steamer and the Pomone and Ze nob e steam-frigates have beep, here several days. It is difficult to judge of the effect which the news brought from France by these vessels will have on the minds of the population, for the resolutions of the French Govern ment were but imperfectly known.

At the sitting of the Legislative Assembly on Fri day, M. Duran, the President, rose and addressed the Assembly as follows : "Gentlemen, at the moment when a neighbouring people, our ally, deplores the loss which it has just ex perienced in the person of one of its statesmen most worthy of esteem, I think that it will be to confer honour on the French tribune to express our sympathetic re gret on this occasion, and to manifest our high esteem for the eminent orator alluded to, who, during the whole course of his long and glorious carer, has never ex pressed any sentiments towards France but those of kind feeling and justice, and whose language has always been that of courtesy towards her Government.—(Loud ap probition.) It the Assemtly deigns to approve of my words, mention shall be made of the fact on the official minutes of our sittings." Unanimous marks of assent arose from every part of the Chamber, and some time elapsed before the business of the day was proceeded with. Never before has any foreign statesman had such honours as these paid to his memory. This official record of the regret and sympathy of the French Assembly is as unprecedented a testimony of respect and regret as was the adjournment of the British House of Commons on Wednesday; as is well ob served by one of the Paris journalists, "of all the acts of homage of which the memory of Sir ROBERT PEEL is the object, that which the French Republic has rendered to it, through the organ of her representa tives is, unquestionably, the one which will the most sensibly touch the English nation." Almost all the journals, of all shades and parties, speak in terms of commendation of the unprecedented mark of respect paid by the Assembly to the memory of the great English statesman. The Constitutionnel says : The sitting opened to-day with a homage rendered to the memory of Sir Robert Peel. It is M. Dupin, who, in taking possession of the chair, made himself the organ of the feelings of the whole of the Assembly. It was an honour to the French tribute, he said, to express our sympathetic regrets,_and to manifest our high esteem for an eminent orator. who, during a long and glorious career, has never had any feelings but those of justice and benevolence to France and words of courtesy to its Government. The speech of M. Dupin was received with the most lively marks of approbation, and the As sembly decreed that it should be inserted in the minutes." The Frew says : " We congratulate M. President Dupin on having re paired, at the opening of the sitting to-day, a piece of forgetfulness on the part of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is not in the ante-rooms of the Assembly, but in the tribune, that General de la Hitte should hare on the day before yesterday, announced the death of Sir Robert Pee►. Such a name merit-d such an honour. M. Dupin felt that. He made himself the interpreter of the sympathetic griff of France, by some simple and dignified words, to which the As=embly associated itself with a feeling of unanimity, and which will be recorded in the minutes." The Dibats says :— "At the commencement of the sitting, the President rose, and, in the name of the Assembly, expressed noble and sympathetic regret fur the eminent man whose loss England deplores. We do not know that such an honour has ever been rendered in this country to the statesman of a fcraign atste; but none deserved it better than Sir Robert Peel, who had never expressed any sentiments towards France but those of kindly feeling and justice, and whose language has always been that of courtesy towards 1 . 1 , -r Govern men t.' " The Slide says-.- " At the opening of the sitting of this day the Presi dent Dupin pronounced in a few words a noble and touching eulogium on the statesman whose premature death England and the whole of Europe deplore at the present moment. The words of M. Dupin and the una nimous adhesion with which they were received on all the benches of the Assembly wi►l be inscribed on the minutes of the House. Of all the acts of homage of which the memory of Sir Robert Peel is the object, that which the French Republic has thus rendered to it, through the organ of her representatives, is, without contradiction, that which will most sensibly touch the English nation. The new spirit which unites in common principles and sentiments two great rations which had been for a long time enemies, never received a more brilliant consecration. M. Dupin could not have inau gurated more worthily his again taking possession of the chair in which he has been placed by the confidence of his colleagues." The Univers says— " M. Dupin, at the commencement of the sitting, ren dered homage to the memory of Sir Robert Peel. The Assembly associated- itself to the sympathetic regrets manifested by its President for the illustrious statesman whom England has just lost." The Republique says : " M. Dupin opened the sitting by a sort of funeral oration on Sir Robert Peel. He invited the Assembly to deposit on its proses verbal the regrets with which the death of that illustrious man inspired him. The assent with which this proposition was received was unanimous, without any exc, piton of opinion. This incident should suggest some sad reflections. Where is the man among our statesmen whose death would inspire similar senti ments not only in foreign countries but eve n in France? Which of them has rendered real services to his country or displayed a character which commands esteem? None. We may say so without fear of contradiction trom any party. The greater part of them have nothing written on the record of their services but facts of in trigue or charlatanism, and recantations which corrupt the public mind. It becomes them well really to c. le brace the author or the promoter of so many political and financial measures gloriously inscribed in the history of his country. Had Sir Robert Peel ever the ridiculous pretension to save his country? It it true he vv ,, e on ly, af;er' all, a statesman of the first order. Ours have very different pretensions." The Corsaire says _ _ "We must be just. The President of the Assembly opened the sitting by a motion of which the whole world will comprehend the great propriety and delicacy. The question was to do honour to the memory of the late Minister of Great Britain, our old and eternal rival. Not a heart in France will hesitate to associate itself with this movement of the National Assembly. During his long career as a statesman Sir Robert Peel has never for a single day been hostile to French interests. On this account a solemn silence reigned in the hall as soon as the name of the originator of the famous corn-laws was pronounced. (After g i v i ng M. D u pi n ' s speech, it adds)— Unequivocal signs of adhesion were heard from all the benches, from those on the Right as u ell as those on the Left. At the same moment M. Dupin continued- - ' the Assembly deign to approve of my words, mention will be made of them in our minutes.' Every body rose without exception. This is a splendid testimony of sympathy, especially if it be considered th*t it is given by a French Assembly to an English Minister. Such a phenomenon was never pro duced before." The Evenement says "It was impossible that the great catastrophe which has just struck England—the death of Sir Robert Peel— should pass unremarked in the National Assembly of France. Let us do justice to M. Dupin, who has made himself the intrepreter of the grief and of the sympathy of the French public, in pronouncing, at the opening of the sitting, a few dignified and elevated words on that important event. M. Dupin understood his duty, and has nobly fulfilled i►. The Assembly, by its applause, appropriated to itself the sentiments with which its Pre sident was inspired, and expressed a wish on his motion, that the expression of that homage rendered to the memory of Sir Robert Peel should be recorded in its minutes." The Union says:— " The French tribune could not but join in a brilliant and last homage to the memory of Sir R. Peel. He, whose I less England and the whole wt rld deplor e , h a d i n fact, exceptional rights, we shall not say to the gratitude, but to the eternal esteem of our couctry. It is on this ac count that the Assembly hailed, with signs of its appro• bation which were not equivocal, the simple and touching words pronounced by the President at the opening of the sitting. This legitimate tribute, paid to the memory of the illustrious Sir Robert Peel, is one of the most strik ing testimonies in favour of one of the most incontest able glories of the present times." The Legitimatist Club of the Rue de Rivoli has de. termined to oppose any attempt to prolong the power of the PRESIDENT. It will also oppose the proposal for a prorogation of the Assembly for three months, notwithstanding this proposition is supported by M. DE MONTALEMBERT. On these two subjects the National has the f o llowing : " We are assured that, immediately after the proroga dun, a camp of 35,000 men of all arms will be formed at Versailles, and the command given to a General as much a friend of the Elysee as be is little agreeable to M. Cbangarnier; and what is more serious, he will not derive his authority from the commandant superieur of the troops of the first military division. This news has excited much conversation in Parliamentary circles. Several members see in it something more than a lesson to M. Changarnier; and it might happen that the future camp of Versailles would change the opinion of certain members of the majority, and espseially of the Right, upon the necessity of a long prorogation." The General to whom the command of this corps will be given is General BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS. M. DE PERSIGNY left Paris for Berlin on Thursday. M. DE FALLoux is at Angers, in an alarming state of health. The first number of the Proscrit was published on Friday, and was immediately seized. The Debats of yesterday states that a young lad, 17 years of age, named GEORGE ALFRED WALKER, a Frenchman, was taken into custody on Friday, close to the door of the Elysee, for having declared his in tention of assassinating the PRESIDENT of the Republic, who, he alleged, prevented the good republic from being established. WALKER had been long watching an opportunity of effecting his purpose, but by some chance always failed. He had never seen the PRE SIDENT, and on Friday, after having waited at the door of the Elysee for a long time, though the PRESIDENT had passed close to him, it was not allotted that by his hand Louis NAPOLEON should fall. Re gave himself up to the p olice, and fully avowed his design. lle was examined by the Prefect of the Pol ice on Saturday. lie i s a printer.

GERMANY. M. DE MANTEUFFEL, Minister of the Interior of Prussia, communicated on the 4th, to the College of Princes, a Bill to encourage emigration. The Com mittee of the Constitution has sent in a report on the note of the Saxon Government, which the College had submitted to it. Its conclusions, declaring that the obligations on the Saxon Government to guaran tee the Constitution, and to submit to the decision of the Arbitral Tribunal, in the cases provided for in par. 4 of the Treaty of May 6, 1849, cannot be con sidered as extinct, were adopted unanimously. The King of SAXONY has returned to Dresden. ITALY. In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies of the lit, the discussion on the emission of 6,000,000 francs of renter, for the payment of the indemnity due to Austria, was commenced without any incident worthy of notice, except that the orators of all parties, although in some cases hostile to Ministers in the de tails of the measure, generally concurred in the prin ciple. Before the adjournment of the discussion, the Minister of Agriculture announced that the reform of the customs duties was under consideration, and that a Bill for the reform of the maritime financial laws would be presented before the end of the week. The Concordia of Turin of the 2d states from Rome that the Government has directed that no more passports shall be delivered to Roman subjects for foreign parts. The Messaggero of Modena states that Sig. CAM.. PELLO, late Minister of 'War under the Roman Re public, has been set at liberty at Ancona, and fur•. nished with a French passport. The Nazionale of Florence of the 29th mentions the names of ten booksellers who were searched by the police the day before. Several bundles of old Florence newspapers, and some pamphlets of Mez- ZINI and other democratic writers were seized. NATIONAL PENNY SUBSCRIPTION FUND, FOR THE POOR MAN'S MONUMENT TO TILE LATE SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART., M.P. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUS. Committee Rooms, Belvidere Hotel, Pentonville, London, July 8, 1850. SlR,—The committee for the above object being anxious to take as li+tle as possible (;f any) from the amount to be raised by the penny subscririon, make this appeal to the whole of the newspaper press of Lon don sni the United Kingdom, that such proprietors of newspapers as will insert their advertisements free (except duty paid) will be p!ettie i to notify the same to the Honourary Secretary at the Committee-rooms as above. The committee wish to preserve a file of every newspaper giving tf_em their assistance, and therefore every proprietor doing so is requested to furnish to the committee his paps from the time of such notifica tion np to the Ist of January, 1851, which par rs will be paid for. As it is presutnt d this acquiescence will be with the wish and disposition to forward the great and national object in view, the proprietors will have it in their option to insert the advertisements at full length, or to use their best discretion to curtail them, as may suit their own want of apace and the circumstances of their locality; hut the committee desire to impress that a due regard be paid to give every publicity to their proceedings, which, with respect to the confidence and good faith they are determined to keep with the public at large, must be the primary consideration. Yours faithfully, JOHN DOWNES, Hon. Sec. I beg to add that Joseph Hume, Esq., M.P., Lord John Russell, M.P., Sir James Duke, Bart., M.P., Sir James Graham, Bart, M.P., Viscount Hardinge, and the Right Honourable Mr. Gladstone, M.P., have written me the most handsome letters, agreeing to be the trustees of the fund at the Bank of England, and that we are organising mlchinery to extend to the whole nation. A public meeting is fixed for six o'clock on Friday in the large racket-ground adjoining the Bel videre, at which Mr. Hume will preside. CONSECRATION OF ST. THOMAS'S CHURCH, BETH NAL-GREEN (Tim DAY).—It having become generally known that the consecration of the above church, which is the last of the ten new churches in Bethnal-green, was to take place this morning., a large number of ladies and gentle men attended to witness the interesting ceremony. The Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of London arrived shortly before eleven o'clock, accompanied by his chaplain, and the impressive ceremony usual upon these occasions was pro ceeded with, his Lordship preaching the sermon. The whole cost of consecrating the church had been defrayed by the munificence of an anonymous friend of the fund. DINNER TO LORD PALMERSTON.—The Reform Club banquet to Lord Palmerston will be held on Saturday next. Mr. Bernal Osborne is to take the chair, and the members of the Cabinet will be invited as guests. The num ber of the members of the club who desired to pay honour to the Foreign Minister of England was so great, that it was contemplated to give the dinner out of the club. A nume rously attended meeting of members was held yesterday, at which the matter was discussed, and it was decided that the banquet should be held within the club, and that the num ber of diners should be limited to 250. This arrangement must necessarily exclude a large number of members anxious to express their admiration of the private character of Lord Palmerston and their confidence in his policy; but it has been thought advisable to consult the wishes of those gentle men who originated the testimonial while the result of the division was yet uncertain. If the intention of the banquet were to celebrate the recent victory in the Legislature the numbers might have been extended, and means taken to admit all who desired to in in the triumph. The very limit* ion enhances the compliment, and will show that the support of Lord Palmerston's policy by the Reform Club is not dependent on the chance of a majority in Parliament, but that the Liberals of this country are with him at all times Weekly C/uonicle. WAR STEAMERS FOR THE SPANISH GOVERN MENT.—Messrs. Maudslav, Sons, and Field have contracted to make four pair of engines of 500-horse power each pair, for the Spanish Government, at an estimated cost of 200,00 W. for the whole. Messrs. John Penn and Son have also contracted to make two pair of engines, of 350-horse power each pair, and Messrs. Miller, Ravenhill, and Co., two pair of engines of 350-horse power each pair for the same Government. Messrs. Wigram are building a war steamer, and Mr. Green, at Blackwell, another of a similar class, to be fitted with their engines in this country. The other steamers fur the 500-horse power engines are on• the stocks in Spain, and will soon be ready for their reception. The Government of Spain are at the present time greatly increasing the royal navy of that country. THE WRECK OF THE ORION.--TORTPATRICK, FRIDAY.—On Wednesday night the wind blew a heavy gale, and yesterday about noon the Orion began to break up. Large pieces of her deck and the woodwork of the cabins floated away from the wreck, and both masts fell overboard. There is now no vestige of the vessel above the water. The body of Captain M'Neill was found on Wednesday floating near to the wreck. It had been brought to the surface by the ground swell. The Enf,lish divers who were at the time on the hill immediately above the wreck observed it, when they manned a boat and picked up the body. Th ere was found upon the body a purse containing .23/. i n geld and 14s in silver, a gold locket, a knife (with "A. *'Neil" engraved upon it), and a button honk. All hopes of raisin g the Orion are now at an end. and Captain Dougl as h as re turned to Glasgow to countermand all further preparations for that purpose. The three Government steamers still re main in Portpatrick Bay, but owing to the severity of the weather they have remained inactive. When the sea be comes calm the divers will resume eperations ; and as, from the breaking up of the deck, there will now b e easy cess to the interior of the vessel, should s h e rema i n together, it is expected that a great amoulit of property will be saved. The parties in custody, the captain and second rage, were liberated 933 bail 913 §atuiday MONEI and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CI 7 0 O'CLOCK. The sales of CoVon at Liverpool on Saturday were °shunted at 12,000 bales, of which 3,000 American, 1,500 Egyptian, anti 800 Surat were on specula tion. Extreme rates r.ere übtaiLed, and the market closed with an upward tendency.

Late accounts from St. Petersburgh notice large salts of grain. The steamer from America brings advices which are rather interesting, as showing more clearly the proba bility of a consitierale amount of specie coming to England, perhaps four or five millions of dollars. The American papers contain accounts from Buenos Ayres, uuder date of April 27. The Argentine Packet states— " The negotiations now going on between the Argen tine Government and the Plenipotentiary t f France, are conducted with all becoming reserve. Nothing, conse quently, has transpired to enable us to form any idea of the progress made. Meanwhile several vessels have ar rived at Monte Video, with part of the troops placed at the disposal of Admiral li?redour, to secure the obedi ence ot his refractory countrymen. Whether, on the arrival of the whole, the Admiral will at once pro ceed to disarm the foreign garrison, is yet a matter of speculation." The Packet of the 27th says:— " Our great diplomatic mystery has not yet been un veiled. Whatever quid nuncs and speculators may say to tho contrary, nothing has or zed out that can afford any clue for the formation of a correct opinion as to the actual state or prospects of the negotiation." On other matters, the Packet of the 20th gives the following:— "Accounts continue to be received of irruptions of the Rio Grande banditti into the Oriental territory, and of the chastisements uniformly inflicted upon them. The new President of that province has issued a pro• clams ion, which, if honestly acted upon, will, no doubt, have the effect of precluding the necessity ot the allied forces departing from the considerate line of conduct they have hitherto so forbearingly pursued. At ali events, we hope not to see General Caldwell, the new Commander-in-Yhief. re-enact the farce performed by his predecessor, General Arruda, of arresting the Baron de Jacahy, and than allowing his rescue by a handful his partisans, in the very centre of the province. The brigands have taken the rather whimsical appellation of ' Californians.' " _ _ A special meeting will be held at Derby on the 19th instant, "to consider the expediency of entering into certain arrangements with the holders of the 501. shares in the Midland C.,incany, for an alteration of the con ditions, rights, and privileges attaching to such shares. and the preferential dividends payable thereon; and of taking such steps as may be thought fit by the said me•etng connected with any proposals which may be then made with relation to such shares, and for carrying into I ffect any arrangements which may be approved by the said meeting relative thereto." Copy of a proposition (which has been made by cer tain of the holders of the 501. shares) to be submitted to the meeting:— " That the 5 per cent. dividend on the 351. already called on the 50/. shares shall cease to be pay able after the a Ist December, 1850. " Tbat 331. 6s Bd, (part of such 35/.) shall be conso lidated into and receive dividend rateably with the general capital stock of the company, from the Ist January. 1851, the company guaranteeing henceforth a divi tend of 4i per cent. on any future calls that may be made on the 50/. shares (beyond the call now due). and elsa on 1/. 13s. 4d. per share, part of the 35/. already called up. "That an Act of Parliament shall be applied for to sanction the arrangement." The following note dated Ist inst., has been received from the Secretary of the York and North Midland line: —" I beg to advise you, fur the information of the mem bers of the Stock Exchange, that the transfer-books of the ' Hull and Selby Purchase or Preference Shares' of this company will be closed from Thursday, the 11th instant, to Thursday, the 23d instant, both days inclusive, for the purpose of making up the dividends on these shares, and which dividend will he payable at the rate of 6s. per share (less income-tax) on the 25th inst."

CORN EXCHANGE.-(MONDAY.) The country markets, held on Saturday, were Teri moderately supplied with English Wheat, in which* st,aiy business was transacted, at, ia some instances, s* advance in the quotations of ls. per quarter. In Spring Corn comparatively little was doing, but fine foreign Wheat, as well as Flour, were quite as dear, with * good consumptive inquiry. Letters from New York to the 27th ult. state that ro e inquiry for Flour was inactive; but Wheat and Indian Corn moved off freely. In the continental ports, eel, tewt ransactions worthy of n o ti ce h ave t a k en place. 111) our market, last week, the receipts of all articles of home produce were small. From abroad, the arrivals amounte d to 12,625 quarters of Wheat, 3,385 ditto of Barley' s 8,778 ditto of Oats. 3,980 ditto of Beans 854 ditto 01- Peas, 560 ditto of Peas, 1,255 ditto of Linseeed 1,0 8 ! ditto of Rapeseed, 110 ditto of sundry Se e ds, 1 1 9 8 . sacks, and 1,903 barrels of Flour. The quantity of Wheat received fresh up to th is morning's market, frem Essex and Kent, coa s t w ise, I' 1 " . unusually small, but of full average quality. Frol Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, &c., the arrivals oft 8 grain, coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample' were limited in the extreme. The stands being Yell scantily supplied, the attendance of both London IT, country buyers on the increase, and th e l a t e h ea vy gait' having laid extensive breadths of wheat in nearly PI whole of our large districts, th e d eman d s f or a ll kinds English Wheat was decidedly brisk, at an advance ill. the quotations of Monday last, of fully 2a per quarters and at which a clearance was speedily effected. very few offers came to h an d f rom t h e E as t coas t to s nip Wheat, except at is to 2s per quarter more money. With really fine foreign Wheat we were scantilia, supplied. The leading millers purchased largely, AL the quotations impr o v e d 2 s p er quar t er . In Abe middling and inferior kinds, an increased business leo transacted at is per quarter more money. Scarcely a sample of English Barley was brong ht i d . forward, and the supply of foreign was comparatively small. All kinds wore a steady sale, and the turn 1 " f, favour of the sellers. We bad a limited quantity of Malt on show. 1111 ,1 inquiry ruled firm, and late rates were well supporte d in every instance. The supply by railway has fallen 011 ' A very limited quantity of Oats on the market. S e• lected and dry qualities improved in val ue qu it e 6d Pe r quarter. All other qualities was q u i te as d ear as 1119 t week. The sale of Beans was far from active; no et i theless, the quotations ruled steady. P eas , t h e supplY n which was moderate, moved off slowly at labt currency. Indial Corn was held with more firmness. The Flour trade was fi rm , an d f ore i gn qualities ay. 'anced is per sack.
