The trees here grow to an enormous size and height. One tree in this wood, cut down since I came here, averages 11 feet 3 inches through the butt, and after working it 150 feet, it measured 8 feet through ; the tree was 250 ,feet in length. I understand there is one on the opposite side of the bay still larger than this, sufficiently so to drive and turn a two-horse team and cart oa the stump. There has been apparently some years back a large tire in this wood, which burnt a great many of the trees hollow at the butt : houses are made of these hollows, and some of them sufficiently large to accommodate three or four persons very comfortably, so you ca n form some idea of their size.—A n ew York Ad vertiser. 4-rainit LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1850. An intimation of a rather extraordinary character, respecting the projected erection of a new bridge across the Thames at Westminster, has recently made its appearance. Viewing the entire scheme as one of a very suspicious description, and seeing that it is calculated to squander most unnicessarily a large amount of the public moneys, without tending to remove the present liability of such a structure to fall into a state of dilapidation, we feel ourselves, even at this early period, compelled to enter our most earnest objections to the undertaking, and to proffer those sug gestions which seem to us calculated to clear up many existing difficulties, or apparently insurmount able obstacles. of an intended revolt, also diverted the public attention from the landlord and tenant question, which remained uncared for and unheeded, while the representatives of the people were occupied on topics of inferior interest. The atrocious murder of the late Mr. MAULEVERER —a murder directly springing from agrarian causes — and which has been perpetrated partly in conse quence of the race between the different landlords to secure their own portions of the rent, and partly on account of the numerous ejectments that had been served after the death of the " mid dleman"—however, proves that the time has at length arrived when some decisive step must be taken if we desire to prevent the total demoraliza tion of the Irish people. There is now, happily, every prospect of an abundant harvest that will afford some degree of compensation for the sufferings and disasters of the last five years. Land is again be coming valuable, its possession will be eagerly de sired, and the " uncertainty of tenure" will again be referred to as a pressing grievance that paralyses every exertion on the part of the tenantry, and places an insurmountable obstacle in the way of improvement. The landlords, toe, will have immense power in con sequence of the large arrears that have accumulated in almost every part of the country during the late famine. There is, therefore, but too much reason to fear that the " clearance system," which has led to such fatal results whenever it has been attempted, may be resorted to, and that bloodshed and mur ders will be rife throughout the length and breadth of the land. It was under such circumstances that the Ho nourable Gentleman the Member for East Sussex brought for ward his Bill, mot for the purpose of appeasing the mutual distrust which unfortunately separate the classes of landlord and tenant, but for facilitating the process of ejectment and evictions in Ireland I Undeterred by the melan choly event to which we have alluded, Mr. FREwEN desired to give a summary jurisdiction to maxis • trates at petty sessions, by which the delays and expenses now necessary before the wretched peasant can be driven from house and home, and the process which has been but too correctly described as one of "extermination," can be indulged in. The general feeling cf the House was, however, so strongly exhibited that the Hon. Gentle man consented to the rejection of the Bill without a division. This is as it should be, but the matter should not be suffered to rest there. There is yet time to pass a large and comprehensive measure, even within the present session, and we can scarcely suppose that the Government are not prepared with a Bill which, if not as complete as could be desired, would still effect a considerable improve ment on the existing system. We have heard from Lord DEVON, that "if a tenant is removed from land he has occupied he is looked on as an injured man, and the decree too often goes out for vengeance on landlord or ag- - -nt, and on the man who succeeds to the farm." That " at times a large numerical pro portion of the neighbourhood look with indiffer ence on the most atrocious acts of violence, and by screening the criminal abet and encourage the crime." That "murders are per petrated at noonday, on a public highway, and whilst the assassin coolly retires the people look on and evince no horror ut the bloody deed." The cir cumstances connected with the " Crossmaglen assassi nation" show how fearfully accurate was this descrip tion published in February, 1845. The causes still are suffered to continue, and the results are the same. Mr. POULETT SCRUFF, whose sympathy for the suffering peasantry and unremitting exertions for the amelioration of their wretched condition are beyond all praise, thus describes the state of affairs in the Kilrush Union, where within the last three years 20,000 human beiags out of a population, which in 1841 amounted to but 82,000 individuals, have been turn( d from their homes and their houses for the most part levelled : " Wherever I went—said the Honourable Gentle man—and I drove in many directions over the union, I passed continually the traces of the 'levellers.' Sometimes eight or ten broken gables of stone built houses were seen to rear their It is proposed, fur example, in the plan against which we would now direct our arguments, that a temporary woolen bridge shall be erected in a conve nient position, whilethe old stone bridge at Westmins ter is being pulled down and a new one built upon almost the same identical site—a site which we have discovered to our cost to afford but rotten ground for the foundations, and to place in perpetual jeopardy the security and symmetry of the entire superstructure. This temporary bridge will be erecter , say the promoters, for the purpose of pre venting any injurious interruption of the immense traffic flowing continually to and fro between Lambeth and Westminster. It will require an outlay of 100,0001. !-100,000/. lavished upon a building des tined only to an evanescent existence !-100,0001. more dropped prodigally down the river, adding ano ther costly offering to the wealth already, according to the gorgeous imagination of SMAKSFERE, accumu lated in " —the ooze and bottom cf the deep, With sunken wreck and su mless treasury!" For virtually the money dedicated to the fabrication of a merely temporary bridge is so much specie thrown away. Now whence arises the necessity for any such perishable edifice? Simply from the se lection of the locality now occupied by the old bridge as the site for the erection of a more commodious and ornamental lire of communica tion between Lambeth and Westminster. Than this same very simple selection nothing could be more absurdly injudicious. As if we have not had sufficient testimony already afforded us of the unsuitableness of that particular part of the Thames for the building up of any such costly struc ture ! Besides which it has long been obvious to all parties at all qualified to pronounce an opinion upon the subject, that the present bridge at Westminster is altogether in too close proximity with the new Houses of Parliament. Removed somewhat lower down the river, a much finer view might be commanded of that superb palace of the Legislature ; while, more over, it is equally certain that such a removal would interfere in no way injuriously with the trade of either Lambeth or Westminster. Upon this im portant feature of the question we are fully decided, having considered it neither lightly nor super ficially. A few very indifferent and decaying houses on the Middlesex side of the Thames houses which must inevitably be swept away in a few more years in consequence of the progress of metropolitan improvement, and the trade value of which is already rapidly diminishing— alone plead for the continuance of the permanent bridge in its present situation. Against the petty consideration of a few individuals, easily com pensated, supposing compensation were deemed at all requisite, we would here advance all the manifold benefits and advantages certaia to accrue from the selection of another locality for the new bridge to be erected at Westminster. Say that the spot chosen were the one which we would here ourselves suggest as altogether about the most suit able and convenient stretching from somewhere about Derby-street on this side of the Thames to the opposite bank in Surrey. Derby-street running down to the river from Parliament-street, hard by the end of Cannon-row, and in the immediate vicinage of Richmond-terrace to the north, and of the Board of Control to the south, appears to our thinking to present all the advan tages that could possibly be derived under the circumstances. With roadways bending off from either extremity of the new bridge, like the upper branches of the letter 17—extending in Surrey, north wards by the York-road towards Waterloo-bridge, and southwards across Lambeth-road towards New ington; leading also on the other hand, in Middle sex, northwards along Whitehall, and southwards by , the projected street to be named after her MA• JEST; through the very heart of Westminster— the existing line of traffic would be preserved almost uninterruptedly, and new ones opened calculated to prove peculiarly beneficial. By this arrangement trade could receive, instead of in jury or detriment, a new and estimable impetus, while the sum estimated as necessary for the pro jected structure, namely, 350,000/., would prove adequate, without requiring the extravagant expendi ture of another 10000/. upon a wooden bridge of merely temporary utility. The site of the louses of Parliament would likewise be materially improved, and the chances of the renewed sinking of the foundations of Westminster. bridge become in the most effectual manner obviated. blackened and skeleton frames against the sky, betokening what had once been a comfortable hamlet, now a pile of ruins. Sometimes a few mere heaps of dirt, almost choked by the weeds which grew around, announced the wreck of a mud hovel. Some were single, some in twos or threes ; at times a whole street in a village had been destroyed. I seemed to be tracking the course of an invading army." Yet this is the system which it has been attempted not merely to perpetuate, but even to extend. Surely we cannot be considered as unduly urgent in calling upon her MAJESTY'S Ministers to lose no further time before introducing a measure that will be adequate to the emergency, and that v, ill effectually prevent occurrences such as should never have been witnessed in a Christian land. In another portion of our impression of this day will be found intelligence of the landing, in Cuba, of the piratical expedition, under LOPEZ. The Ame rican fleet either could not or would not overtake him, and he has landed, at the head of five hundred men, at Cardenas, and taken that town, the garrison of which, consisting of sixty men, surrendered to him, after having lost three out of their number. The authorities at the Havannah had proclaimed the whole island under martial law ; the militia was called out, and foreigners were called upon to enrol themselves for the defence of the island against the marauders. Serious remonstrances have no doubt been presented to the Government of the United States by the Spanish Minister at Washing ton, remonstrances in which we cannot for a moment doubt but that our Ambassador, as the representative of those who have a mortgage on the island for 6,000,0001., and who therefore are interested in its continuing part of the Spanish dominions, has ener getically joined. The Government of the United States is bound by treaty to send troops and ships to Cuba to expel LOPEZ from the island should he succeed in ob taining possession of it, as the United States has, on condition that Spain should bind herself never to dispose of Cuba to any foreign Government, solemnly guaranteed the possession of Cuba to Spain. That the Government of the United States will, if it be not too weak to have a will, perform this guarantee we have no doubt. That the Anti-Slavery party in the northern states will aid the Government in its endeavours to, enforce the honest observance of the treaty with Spain we have as little doubt; but we much doubt whether the Government and the Anti-Slavery party united have the power to enforce the observance of this treaty against the wishes of the slave-holding states, who would certainly rather break up the union with the northern states than forego the immense accession of power which the possession of Cuba must of necessity give to them. It is fortunate that we have such a man as Sir HENRY BULWER to represent us at Washington; be, above all men, unites the suaviter in modo to the _Prater in re, and he will have need of both in conducting the negotiations which must necessarily arise out of this Cuban affair, a matter which we fear it will be impossible for him to settle so speedily or so satisfactorily as he did the affair of Nicaragua. Gladly shall we witness the acceptance of some such scheme as this by her MAJESTY'S Government; and eagerly do we look forward to the time when not only this shall be accomplished, but when another new bridge shall be thrown over the river near the palace of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, and a third yet higher up the Thames leading to that long talked-of park at Battersea, which, like so many other brilliant projects, still remains in nubibus among the plans of metropolitan improvement. More than five years have elapsed since the publi cation of the report of the " Devon Commission." The vast importance of the subject so accurately in vestigated by the Noble Lord and his efficient co . adjutors, and th e b ene fi c i a l and pract i cal character o f the recommendati ons con t a i ne d i n t h at valua bl e docu ment, were admitted by persons of all classes and grades in society, and there was a general expectation that some decisive measures would be speedily enacted for the solution of the principal Iri s h difficulties, the settlem ent on a proper fo undation f t e nant eroundation of the relation ship between land o l oo or of the in Ireland.

We believe that if an election were to come on for Paris to-morrow the result under the new franchise would be precisely the same that it was under universal suffrage,and in every large town the same result will occur. The parties who will really suffer by the action of the Electoral Bill will be, not the Republicans, but the Legitimntists and the Parti-pretre, and M. LAROCREJACQUELI N proved himself mere far seeing than his compeers when he pathetically asked what was to becorkie of his bold peasants. They are disfranchised by the act of your friends, M. DE LAROCULTACQUELIN, dizfranchisul to a man and if you now work for the restoration of Monarchy, it will be for an Orleanist, not a Legitimatist Mo narchy. The result of the Electoral Bill will be to disfranchise many Socialists, but more Legitimatists, and by these disfranchisements to increase the rela tive voting force of the Orleanists as compared with that of the Socialists or the Legitimatists, but to diminish their voting force as compared with that of the Moderate Republicans. The bourgeoisie of the towns will not again submit to the tyranny of the nobles, which they shook off in 1830, neither will they again suffer themselves to be fleeced by the pecu lating Ministers of the Citizen King, or their fami lies to be corrupted by the examples of the Dujarriers, the De Beauvallons, the Graniers de Cassagnacs, the Testes, the Cubieres, or the De Praslins—they are almost to a man Cavaignacists, and into their hands has the voting power been thrown by the new Bill. The working of it will soon be tested in the depart ment of the Cher, but we feel convinced that, let a general election come when it may, if it takes place under the new law it will give not only a working but a commanding majority to that party which acknowledges as its leaders Generals CAVAIGNAC and LAMORICIEItE, and M. DUFAIIRE, the party par ex cellence of the Republic. THE UNITED STATES. THE CUBAN EXPEDITION. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNING. The new steam-ship Pacific, Captain Nye, has just arrived in our river, with one day's later Intel. ligence from the United States than that received by way of Halifax, per the Niagara. The Pacific, which is one of the Collins' line of steam-ships, left New York on the 25th ult. Although her news is not of much extent, it is of more than usual importance. The steamer Ohio had arrived at New York from Havannah on the 24th of May, having left that port on the 20th. General Lopez had landed at C irdenas with 500 men, and took that town. The garrison of sixty soldiers, after some resistance and three men being killed, surrendered to the Americans. Oae thousand more of Lopez's forces were expected to land. The greatest panic prevailed at Havannah. The city was under martial law ; militia being enrolled in every direction. The resident foreigners were also called upon to enrol themselves.

All persons who aided the Americans with money, food, or provisions, were ordered to be shot. Two thousand troops have been sent against Lopez. At the time of the steamer leaving Havannab, it was reported that Lopez's force had increased to 2,000 men. This is the only item of political interest in the advices. The commercial news represents business as being in a comparatively fair state throughout. the Union. The quotations of stocks were unchanged. The ac counts from Cuba had only reached on the night pre vious to the Pacific's sailing. Their operation on the markets could not be foretold; _ Cotton was dull, at steady prices; New Orleans and Mobile mid. fair to fair, 13 1 - 1 131; Uplands and Florida, 12i 13i. The accounts of the crop are still unfavourable. Exchange on London, 110 to 1101. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at irom 5,000 to 6,000 bales, all to the trade. The market closed heavily for Americas, owing to the large quantity offered. Surats were el. lb. dearer, but Ame rican and all other kinds at about previous rates.—The Market for Railway Shares opened heavily, but closed at rather highee quotations. The Colonial Markets have been steady this week, and at fuller prices. A larger business bas been done. The following is from Messrs. Schroeder and Mullins, of New Orlram: " Cotton—The period elapsed since the date of our last Circular of the 19th ult. has witnessed a gradually upward tending market, the same being under the in fluence of favourable accounts from abroad, the certainty of the last crop being a shcrt one, and the very unsatis factory advices from the interior respecting the growing crop, which,. besides being retarded in its progress by an unpropitious spring, is now being damaged in many sections by extensive overflows. All accounts from above concur in reporting that large tracts of country in some of the beat cotton regions of Mississippi and Louisiana are under water, and that planters will be obliged to replant. Under these circumstances, holders offer their stock sparingly, and manifest great indifference about selling, even at our present advanced rates. They find another support for main taining] their position in the extraordinary advantage which the staple has in the present state of freights and exchange. , , the leanr being unusually high for the period of the season, and the former depressed beyond precedent. The demand for Cotton has been fair, with out being animated, the reduced stock offering, and the high pretensions of holders holding buyers in check. Our receipts from Louisiana and Mississippi show a deficiency of 223,440 'bales, compared with last year, whilst those from Tennessee, Alabama, and Arkansas, overrun the arrivals of last season by 32,464 bales. Our stock of Cotton in presses and on ship board is this day 146,168 bales. against 184,843 bales last season. Cape of Good Hope advices of April 10 furnish no news of particular interest. In the Continental markets Public Securities have again risen. The English Funds are rather lower again, and the realisation of profits on the late advance is still in in progress.

THESIGER said he had no hesitation it such an undertaking. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—Then you may ta k e Rule nisi actor dingly. On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill, Mr. TRELAWTNY opposed the Bill. They could not afford to impose an additional tax on the people for the purpose of carrying the object of the Bill into effect, and ho thought it bad taste that so many landlords should be in attendance to give their support to it when they were so ready to vote against all other proposals to increase taxation. He considered that the money required by this Bill could be applied to purposes much more for the benefit and advantage of the country. The Hon. Member con cluded by proposing that they should go into Committee on the Bill that day six months. Col. THOMPSON seconded the amendment. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hoped, as the Bill had alre,dy been sanctioned by the Hous>, that the Honourable Member would not persevere in his amendment,: Mr. SLANEY also hoped the Hon. Gentleman woui not go to a division on his amendment. Ile could bear testimony to the utility and advantage which resultea from parties being enabled to otstein advances to set persons at work iu their particular distriers in drainage operations, and as that was the object of the present measure, it had his hearty support. There was one suggestion, however, which he wished to throw out to the Government. It happened that parties were earnestly desirous to borrow money for the sake cf per manent improvements, and that other parties in the same neighbourhood were anxious to advance that money, and he thought the Government might, under such circumstances, enable the one party to burrow and the other to lend, by means of similar machinery to that contained in this Bill. At present great trouble and expense was oceristoned by the investigation which had to be made into the title of the borrowing party. Ile called upon the House to relieve the borrower from the useless perplexity of the law. There were innume rable parties ready to adiance money, but the man who wanted it for the imerovement of his estate, and the em ployment of his labourers, was precluded from borrowing by the absurd intricacies of the law, and he, therefore, called upon Government to take the matter up. Sir J. TROLLOPE said it might be infertel from the remarks of the Hon. Member fur Tavistoek that the landed interest ware petitioning Government fur loans, but so far from that being the case, the vast majority o e the landowners of England were opposed to the Bill. After a few words from Mr. F. MACKENZIE, who supported the Bill, Mr. HUME said he was opposed to all Bills of this nature, believing, as he did, that all land owners who bad good security to offer would find no difficulty in obtaining money, but he hsd been told that in many parts of the United. Kingdom difficulties of that nature did exist, and he therefore could not object to the measure now. Besides, the House bad already adopted the principle, and he did nut think any Hon. Member after that approval cosild resist the motion for going into Committee. Still, though he did not now feel himself called upon to op pose the principle, he was bound to state that there were details in the measure which he never could agree to. For instance, it would appear that some of this money might be expended on !arm buildings, or prdvie stone, which he thought ought not to be agreed to, and therefore, when the House got into Committee, he should endeavour to get it expunged from the Bill.—(Hear.) Mr. TRELAWNY wished to reply, but The SPEAKER told him that as the mover of the amendment he was not allowed the privilege. The House then divided, when there appeared-- For the amendment ... 4 Against it ... ... 73 • Majority ... The House the n went into Committee. Mr. MACKENZIE hoped that the Chancellor of th, Exchequer would re-consider that part of the grant which was to be appropriated to England. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER wa , quite willing to grant to Scotland all that justice re quired. But he must remind the Honourable Gentle- ;scare. man that Scotland had already had advances to the amount Of 1,600,0001. in the same time that England had only received 373,0001., half of which bad beet given to the five northern counties. The grants had bees apportioned. according to priority of application. and he must say that great credit was due to Scotland for its promptitude and sharpness in apply ing for these grants. What he proposed, however. was to require all applications to be sent in by a certain day; and would apportion out a certain sum among the counties and make the grants 'according to the ap plication, having a certain regard to priority of application; arid that those sums which 'were not claimed would fall into a general fund, applicable to similar circumstances. Mr. H. DRUMMOND said there was no doubt that 'Seetland required more drainage than England. Hi could not get the farmers in his part of the country ta drain, because, in fact, they had no frith in any as sistence which the House of Commons might pro mise, because they had so often broken faith with them. Unless some facilities or assistance were given to small proprietors of land, they must 'give up their holdings. Lord HARRY VANE quite agreed with the. Hon. Member for Surrey, in so far as Ids last obserratien was concern( d, for no one cauld deny that great distraia 'prevailed amongst small holders, which 'meld only be removed by giving them facilities for raising money on easy terms. The small owner had no 'prosPect. but ruin before him if he could not obtain money to 'improve his land. Vast - improvements ehad been - made in many parts of the country, by private en terprise, but that resource was rapidly becoming ex hausted, and it was therefore highly desirable thet'a ,Bill of, this nature ehould" be p a s s ed as speedily as possible. , The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob served that they had met for the purposat of diapatchitig business, and he hoped Hon. Members would bet waste. time 'in Useles'S'discaepieni of this . nature. Mr. K SEYMER approied of the Bill. • ELLIS said, though he was a Freeitrader he admitted - the importance of advanding money td improve .the land of. the country. Nothing could be done with-. out .it ; and he, for one, would much rather ;SO 2;000,000/. of the public exchequer lent to the landholder • .• than sunk in supporting some Californian Mining laugh.) • •.•! • • Sir Ih. W.

The former holders, who had rented thein at moderate rates, would not pay the increased rent which the drainage had rendered - naCesebry; staid the consequecee was the land had been unoccupied for the last nine months.

Without seine measure of relief the landlords its Ireland were in such a condition as not to -be able to give em ployment to the mass 'of poor people 'in that country. He would support the clause.

He, therefore, proposed that no advance should be made, unless he had a certificate that the iinprove- Mews on the land would produce a return of 63-per cent. It was his opinion that the best mode of carrying out the elausecould be to provide for the eonsolidetion OO 'farm's', but many Himourable Members .differed eel3 6r or MED. • -d 6Z ta; with . him in that respect.

A very moderate Supply of English Vv heat has come to band for this markt t, since Monday, coastwi'e or by land carriage. To day the attendance of both town end country millers was small; yet the few parcels of home-grown Wheat o❑ offer were disposed of at Mon day's prices. Upwards of 10,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have arrived this week. The shcw of samples of both red and white was by no means large. Soleeted qualities were held firmly, at full rates of currency; but the middling and , inferior kinds were neglected. Barley—the supply of which was very moderate— moved off slowly, at barely late rates. Very little Malt was brought forward, yet the supply was quite equal to the wants of the buyers. Selected parcels of Oats were steady, at late rates. Damp qualities met a very in active demand. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn and Meal were almost nominal. No change took place in the value of the best Town-made Flour. Foreign qualities were dull. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Oats. Malt. Flour. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs. Qrs.
