In the Houle of Lords last night the County Courts Extension Bill was, on the motion of Lord BaouGsam, referred to a Select Committee. Under ordinary circumstances, we should have considered such a course fatal to the measure during the present session—that it was, in fact, intended to get rid of a Bill respecting which intense interest is felt by the industrious classes throughout the entire country, without incurring the obloquy of a direct rejection of its salutary provisions; but from what fell from the Noble and Learned Lord, who has rendered more valuable assistance to the cause of legal reform, than any man of the age, we are satisfied that there is no real danger to the Bill, and that the object of the proposed ingairy is rally and truly what it pro• 1 teases to bt—ao anxious desire to render A subject of THE SUN, the deepest and most vital importance to the national prosperity as perfect as it can possibly be, and to re move the dangers that may arise from any crude or hasty legislation. Nothing could be more distinct or explicit than what fell from the Noble and Learned Lord on the occasion. He expressly declared that "he did not propose this Committee with the slightest inten tion of delaying the measure o ,for if he found that there was any intention of the kind he would at once move that the Chairman report progress. And he gave this notice to whoever might intend to vote for delay in the Select Committee, that he would be the first to meet that attempt at delay, by moving that the Chairman report progress, and then let the House deal with the Bill in the best way it could." After such a statement every possible doubt as to the motives of the Noble and Learned Lord must be completely re moved, who has thu", to use his own words, afforded the strongest possible " guarantee to the public that the measure would not be delayed longer than was ab solutely necessary to its efficiency." Three important alterations were suggested by the Noble Lord in the provisions of the Bill, as sane• tinned by the representative branch of the Legisla ture. These alterations, which he had previously given notice of moving as amendments to the Bill in Committee, were similar to the provisions which he had brought forward in 1833 :—First, to give parties the option of going either before the superior or the county courts in cases where the amount was be tween 201. and 50/. ; secondly, to give powers of ap peal on points of law ; and thirdly, to create in certain cases a concurrent jurisdiction. With respect to the first point, if both parties should agree in having their differences adjudicated upon by the higher tribunal, it is exceedingly desirable that they should be at liberty to do so, and that not only where the sum in dispute exceeded 201., but in all cases whatsoever. Questions of vast importance, where the real point at issue may amount to many thousands of pounds sterling, may nominally be for the recovery of only a few shillings Thousands of similar cases may depend on the result of the first decision, and it would be manifestly unjust to compel the parties to abide by the decision of the county court judge, unaided by the arguments of competent and well-qualified barristers, and with the risk of conflicting judgments, a contingency which, to say the least of it, would be by no means improbable. If, however, the plaintiff in the suit were allowed the option, at his own mere will and pleasure, and without assigning any satisfactory reasons for the selection he might make, it would completely do away with the efficacy of the Bill, and render it practically worse than useless—an instrument of op pression and persecution, in place of a mode of cheap and expeditious justice We have already fully explained our views with respect to the proposed "right of appeal." The country requires " cheap law," but not " bad law." In strongly contested cases neither party will be satisfied with the decision of the county court judge. He will believe that if he had the power of appealing to a superior tribunal the result would be very different, and he will thus become discontented and dissatisfied with the state of the law under which what he, at least, believed to be deep injustice had been perpe trated. Such an opinion is very dangerous, and shoted by no means be encouraged, and every reasonable precaution should be taken to prevent the possibility of its being formed. Care should, of course, be taken to prevent the privilege from being strained from its legitimate ob ject, by being resorted to merely for the sake of delay and annoyance to the creditor. But this danger would be completely removed either by giving the right solely on condition of the full amount of debt and costs being lodged in court, or at least being amply secured in the event of the original judgment being affirmed; or by granting the appeal only by leave of the Court, and on such conditions as the judge should determine. This privilege, so far from deteriorating the character of the inferior tribunals, would, in fact afford the best guarantee for their efficiency. Al though there might not be a single appeal out of each hundred cases, the very knowledge that such was practicable would induce the judge to bestow full care and mature consideration upon every deci- sion. He would avoid anything approximating to a crude, or hasty, or petulant judgment, when assured that it might be reviewed in Westminster Hall and in the presence of his professional brethren. Every indh cretion would be carefully avoided, and the character of the courts would be materially raised as well from the adlitional pains bestowed by the judges as that it would prevent the possibility of any unfair or uu- warranted imputations being cast upon these learned gentlemen by dissatisfied litigants. And, surely, when a power of appeal is given from the most eminent members of the judicial bench, it cannot be considered an indignity to the inferior judges if their decisions should be subjected to a similar _ scrutiny. As to the concurrent jurisdiction, we confess that we have grave doubts of its propriety, and we fear that it would prove destructive to the salutary effects of the measure. If the plaintiff, or rather the plaintiff's attorney, should be enabled to select the scene of the litigation, he would still resort to the superior courts for the purpose of swelling the costs, orcora pelling the defendant to submit to extortionate de- mands from a reasonable dread of the expense of re- si3ting them. Besides, the power of appeal, within judicious limits, would completely remove any neces- sicy for such a concurrent jurisdiction. What motive except an undue and exaggerated fear of the power of the Pharisees should prevent Lord JOHN RUSSELL from at once res'oring to us our Post office delivery on Sunday it is hard to imagine. The answer of the Noble Lord last evening to the ques tion put to him by Mr. SPOONER proves that the proposed inquiry need not stand in the way of the immediate restoration of the regime of common sense in respect to this matter. It appears, from the re port of the proceedings in the House of Commons last evening, that Mr. SPOONER asked the Noble Lord at the bead of the Government whether it was the intention of her MAJESTY'S Government to lay be fore Parliament the report of the Commissioners ap • pointed to inquire into the working of the Post-office regulations respecting Sunday labour, together with the evidence taken before those Commis sioners ; also, whether permission would be given to any parties who might require it, to produce evidence before such Commissioners; to which Lord Jour; RUSSELL replied "that he had no objection that the report of the gentlemen appointed to inquire into this subject should be laid on the table of the House as soon as it was made. He did not know that it would be necessary for the Commit tee to take any evidence further than that of a docu mentary char ac t er. He did not see anything in the address of th a t House which requ i re d th a t f res h ev i deuce sh ou ld b e taken, and h e d i d no t propose t h at t h e Committee sh ou ld receive evidence." If the Commissioners are not to receive evidence, where can be the necessity for the delay of which the Marquis of CLANRICARDE talked in his reply to one during the with ever of the deputations whi c h wa i ted on him course of the week ? Th e d ocuments are , and ; a ndith have been, in the possession of th e Government their contents the Marquis of CLArtalcartr• Lord JOHN RUSSELL are no doubt well ac quainted, and they are just as competent to decide the question as the Commissioners ; all that is wanted is a little pressure, and we again urge upon any individual who feels himself aggrieved to make known his grievance by letter to the Prime Minister. Let us once set the voting power in motion, and we shall find no greater difficulty in preventing the Minister from giving effect to the mad schemes of the Sabbatarians than we did, two years since, in pre venting him from increasing the income-tax. Every day brings additional proof of the inconvtence inflicted on individuals and the public by this most mischievously absurd attempt to stop all socialinter course by letter on Sunday ; not only does it torture the best affections by its cruel interference in pre venting the communication between parents and children, not only does it tend to the ruin of the mer chant and tradesman by obstructing his communications with his banker or his agent, but it absolutely stops the progress of legislation. In the course of the dis cussion on the County Courts Bill, in the House of Peers last evening, Lord BROUGHAM stated, as a reason for postponing the progress of the measure, that "a Noble andiLeaxned Friend of his (Lord Das- sLA.D;) was still unable, from the bad state of his health, to resume his attendance ; but he (Lord Brougham) was in communication with him, and only for the dated Berlin, July 11, in the evening, says—" Semi official journals declare in decisive terms that Chevalier BUNSEN did not participate in the Lon-ion protocol, but that he remonstrated from the very first against it, and refused to attend the conferences. In the pro ject of a protocol published by the Allgemeine Zeitung of Augsburg, the plenipotentiaries are mentioned who were to have participated, but not not those who did participate in it." The Hamburgh papers publish the following pro clamation, which the Stadtholders of Schleswig and Holstein have addressed to the inhabitants of those duchies : Post•office regulation—(Laughter)—by which there would be a day's delay, he would receive from him a full statement of his doubts and the amendments he proposed, on Monday, but on Tuesday he would re ceive that statement." We trust that these accumulating evidences of the mischievous nature of the alterations introduced in compliance with the crotchets of the Judaizing Ssbbatarians will produce their effect on the Government, and that to-morrow will be the last Sunday of which the " bitter" ob &ervance will be enforced. " SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEINERS. " The Crown of Prussia has made peace with Den mark. We inform ybu of this fsct. The treaty of pace contains a recognition of our right, while the protection of those rights is freely left to the duchies. Our task is great and honourable, and the sound and honest sense of the duchies is a guarantee that they will be worthy of it. Schleswig, though in great anxieties, shall not want our protection. We are not averse tr) a peaceable solution of the question; we repeatedly offered it; but if Denmark must needs have war she shall find us pr« pared. Any Danish invasion of Schleswig., no matter under what pretext, w , ll meet with opposition; for our army is etrong and eater for the field. They will com bat and remember the glorious victories of our fore fathers f,r the old rights of the country. The Stadt holders stand by those rights and by their legitimate Sovereign.

' It is noble in an individual to devote his time, his talents, and his purse to the service of mankind; it is no less noble in those who have marked his long and disinterested labours to come forward and show that he has commanded their sympathies and their admiration, ar d to put him in possession of some tes timonial that shall transmit to future generations the knowledge of the fact that the public benefactor was not forgotten. It has been our happiness to be called to witness both these gratifying spectacles. For fifteen years a gentleman, whose professional acquirements, if directed solely to the advancement of his own benefit, would have secured him by this time a high position and an ample income, has gene rously consecrated his powers to the work of exposing and removing a disgraceful and I demoralising nuisance—that of annually putting be neath a thin surface of already poisoned earth tens of thousands of dead bodies, to diffuse in the process of corruption a pestilential miasma to be inspired by • the busy millions of this great city. The toils—fur years unnoticed—and which when first observed were met with the stern opposition of those who, deeming their craft in danger, ceased not to denounce the in termeddler in their unholy pursuits, and to cry out " Great is Diana of the Ephesians "—these toils, we say, at length awoke a slumbering city to its danger, and at last compelled a reluctant Government to at tend to what should ever be its first duty—the care of thepublic health. Our readers will before this have syl labled the name we are about to write, that of GEORGE ALFRED WALKER. The recent legislation on the subject of burial in towns has directed all eyes to the merito rious pioneer in this cause of sanitary reform ; and our paper of Thursday shows that the apostle of l purity, of decency, and of morality, will in due time receive in some substantial form a suitable memorial of the admiration and gratitude he has so richly me rited. We cordially join in the proposed testimonial, l and can sincerely say, Palmam qui meruit ferat, Rest THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Assembly has confirmed its resolution of in sisting on the publication of the name of the author of each article which may appear in a journal. The hatred ill-suppressed hitherto of the Legiti matists and parti-pretre to the Press, has at length burst forth, and journals and journalists of all shades and opi nions are denounced from the tribune in language such as the leaguers were wont to apply to the Huguenots Just previous to that massacre of St. Bartholomew':, of which M. DE FALLOUZ is the apologist, and M. DE MONTALEMBERT the justifier. The Journal des Debats commences its premier Paris in these words : —" We were wrong in reckoning on the intelligence or on the equity of our Legislators become our judges." After stating the result:of the vote on the amendment of M. TINGUY, the Debats proceeds : "We have heard a war-cry from the tribune against the press, as an odious rival and enemy. What strange preoccupation what strange blindness of parliamentary self-love and vanity !" This war-cry was raised by M. DE LABOULIE, one of the most bigotted instruments of the parti - pretre. "We must finish with journalism," ex claimed this worthy representative of the ignorant old noblesse, " we must destroy journaliism as we have destroyed the barricades." Thus, says the Debate, the work attempted two years since by M. LEDRU ROLLIN and M. PASCAL DUPEAT is accomplished by the party of order It is almost amusing to hear the maniacal cries of these descendants of the old French aristocracy for the destruction of every person and of every thing that they dislike or fear—it would really seem as if they were anxious to furnish an expost facto !justification of the conduct of ROSESPIBRRE, who defended the reign of terror as an act of self-defence, because the nobles, unless exterminated, would extirminate everybody else.

Trueman and Cook to submit to your consi deration a copy of the report which is enclosed, and which embodies the recommendation which we are au thorised to bring under the notice of the creditors. " This report was, shortly after its date, submitted to the Bank of England ai the largest creditors; and we have to inform you that we have received a letter from the Bank, dated this day, which conveys to us the ac quiescence of the Bank in the arrangement proposed by the inspectors. " We shall be glad to be informed whether you concur with the Bank, so that the arrangement may at once be carried into effect. " We feel it due to Mr. Cook to add our testimony to the services and attention which he has rendered to the estate, although by the inspectorship deed he has bee❑ virtually discharged from all the liabilities of the late firm since January, 1848. " We beg further to state that we have a copy of Mr. Coleman's report to the Bank, which is open to your perusal whenever it may suit you to call here. And we understand that the original is alio at the Bank, and will be shown to any creditor who may prefer to apply there.—We are, your obedient humble servants, (Signed) ' 6 OLIVERSON, DENBY, and LAME. " Frederiek's-place, 11th July, 1850." A meeting ti the creditors of Messrs. D. Brag gictti and Co., whose failure was mentioned on the 26th ult., took place on Thursday, when, after the examina tion of a balance-sheet prepared by Mr. J. E. Coleman, it was unanimously agreed to liquidate the estate under a deed of inspectorship. The statement presented showed that the gross liabilities amounted to 113,0001., which will be reiuced by securities held and bills ex pected to run off to eviout 30,0001. The greater part of the assets being produce, it is hoped that it good market prices are realised a dividend of 4s. 6d. or si. may be eventually distributed. The exports of Bullion from London this week have been confined to silver, and amount to 106,780 ounces, chiefly to Belgium and Hamburgb.

GERMAN Y. The sitting of the General Conference of the Zoll- ' verein commenced at Cassel on the 6th. At the meeting of the College of Princes, held on the previous day, M. VON SCHLEINITZ announced that the late correspondence between Austria and Prussia on the constitution of an Interior Central Go vernment of Germany had, failed to produce any result. The hope of an understanding was not aban doned, and to give time for the negotiations the pre sent organization of the Prussian Bund is prolonged provisionally for three months. The secession of the Elector of Hesse from the Bund was officially announced. Letters from Vienna state that the clergy of Moravia have protested against any attempt on the part of the Government to interfere with tithes or ecclesiastical revenues. The Emperor of AUSTRIA has bestowed on JEL. LACHICH a dotation of one million of francs. The wags of Vienna, says the correspondent of the Na • tional, continue to call JELLACHICH the greatest sophist in the empire. I know not why they give him this title, but what I know is that the Arch dtlehlkS SOPHIA. (the mother of the EMPEROR) is said to exercise over the policy of M. DE SCHWARTZEN.

One of the most interesting of the city of London fes tivals took place yesterday, when the memhera of the Bridge-house Committee, their ladies, and a select circle of visitors, proceeded from Kew to Twickenham on board the Maria Wood, one of the splendid barges be longing to the city, and one most admirably adapted for such a species of entertainment as that of which it was yesterday the scene. About a hundred and thirty lutes and gentlemen were ease...bled, including Aldermen Sir Chapman Marshall, J. Humphery, M.P., and F. G. Moon, James Low, Esq., Jacob Goodhart, Esq., and many members of the Common Council and their ladies. %Wile the Maria Wood wad being slowly towed from Kew te Twickenham, the company amused themselves awhile in admiring the beautiful panorama afforded by the hanks of the Thames, which, in the neighbourhood of Rich mond and Twickenham, present a continued succession of picturesque views. But this contemplative entertain ment constituted only a small part of the day's amusements. An excellent band was in attendance and the deck of the Maria Wood, throughout the early part of the day, was converted into a salon de dense. Quadrilles, waltzes, and polkas whiled away the time until, on the arrival of the barge at Twickenham, the fair dancers (the gentlemen not being allowed to share in the privilege) landed and visited the memorable grotto of the poet Pope. On the re-assembling of the party the real business of the day come menced. The artistic skill and the active ex ertions of Mr. Younghusband (the City Soyer) had rendered the saloon of the Maria: Wood a miniature Guildhall, where from a hundred to a hundred and fifty guests sat down to a magnificent and plentiful entertainment. The chair was v. ry ably filled by Mr. James Low, one of the members of the committee. The success of such peculiar entertainments very materially depends upon the president, and the assembly of yester day was in this respect remarkably fortunate. Careful to avoid anything like a " long speech" Mr. Low rendered his discourses brief In quantity but excellent in quality. His remarks were singularly emphatic, and enlivened with many happy and appropriate allusions, which were not lost upon the auditory. One of the happiest instances of thi s most excellent characteristic in a chairman occurred in the prefatory remarks to the toast of " The Army and Navy," in which Mr. Low felicitously expr esse d hi s wish " that every soldier and sailor might di e i n hi s b ed. " Among the toasts of the evening were, "The Queen," " the Royal Family," " The Lord Mayor," " the Magistrates of the City of London," responded to by Sir Chapman Marshall ; " the Chairman ," to who se care f ul arrangements, active exertions, and universal courtesy the success which at tended yesterday's festivity, and the enjoyment of every individual memb.r, was so greatly attributable. The " Health of Mr. Low " was proposed by Alderman Humphery; " the Sheriffs," "the Visitors," "the Ladies," and other toasts followed, wound up by that of " The City of London, and prosperity to the trade thereof." As the barge passed Richmond on its return numbers of persons congregated on the banks of the Thames to admire the attractive and unusual scene which it pre s. rated. Through the open windows of the saloon might be seen the gentlemen discussing their dessert and their speeches, while on the deck, under the awning, groups of elegantly dressed ladies were gaily " tripping it on the light fantastic toe," more gaily, perhaps, than if so en gaged o n terra fi rma. Among the songs with which some excellent vocalists enlivened the festival, the most appropriate commemorated the rising of "Old Father Thames," the scene of this singularly successful and pleasure-giving entertainment. MISS BINFIELD WILLIAMS'S SOIREE MUSICALE.— Miss Binfield Williams, whose masterly performance on the pianoforte makes us regret not oftener hearing her in public, gave a musical treat to a crowded and fashionable auditory last evening, at the new Beethoven Rooms, Queen Anne street. One of Osborne and De Beriot's concertante duetts was most charmingly rendered by the fair bew:ficiare and Herr Molique, and Beethoven's Trio op. 70 was performed as effectively as the most ardent admirer of that composer could desire by Miss Willia ms , H err Molique, and M. Rousselot. Miss Bassano sang "Ah ! quel porno" most brilliantly, and also elicited great applause in a pretty little ballad of Charles Saloman's. Mr. Harries Wilson sang his composition of Schiller's celebrated song of " The Diver" in a way that bids fair for his becoming at no distant day ex ceedingly popular in this species of musical monologue opera, and exhibited, by his manner of accompanying him self on the piano, a thorough knowledge of all the resources of the instrument. We should like to see such songs as " The Diver" introduced into our private drawing-rooms in the place of many of the milk-and-waterish, question-asking, reply-giving ballads that have made their way thith er o f late. M. Henri Drayton was announced to appear, but from some unexplained cause did not do so. The system, which is very prevalent just now with some artistes, of allowing their names to be put down, a n d t h en not coming forward, is a most unfair proceeding t o th e patrons, and ungenerous to the givers of concerts. Mr. Charles &lonian most ably conducted during the evening, which we hope proved as sa tisfactory to the fair provider of the entertainment as it did to all who were present. THE NEW LORD CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE COMMON I'Las.—The late Attorney-General, Sir John Jervis, Knight, 111. p., who, in consequence of the elevation of Sir Thomas Wilde, has been appointed to succeed him as judge in the office of Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, will be sworn in as Chi e f J ustice, singularly enough, before the samejudge on Monday next. THE NEW LAW ....APPOINTMENTS.—It will be ob served that writ^ for new elections were last night moved for in the House of Commons fur Devonport and Southampton, Sir J. Romilly and bin Cockburn having accepted the offices of Attorney and Solicitor-General. .MONUMENT TO SIR ROBERT PEEL.—The monu ment to Sir Robert Peel is the loaf of bread. Let it be put under the protection of his name, stamped "Peel's Loaf," and who will dare to displace that name, by diminishing the loaf or raising its price ?—Examiner. IV r. Alderman Carden yesterday remanded from ,he Guildhall a fur-worker, named William Turner, and a Jew dealer, named Abraham Harris, charged, the former with stealing, and the latter with feloniously receiving, several valuable Frexch sables and other skins. Ilarris had stated on a former examination that he was a skin-dealer, and would buy anything from any person without asking any questions. The groom of Mr. Alderman Hunter was yester day fined 20s. at the Marlborough Police-court for furious riding in the Park. 1 ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. A concert was given yesterday morning, in which i the principal meinbA.s of the establishment were el gaged, the name of Madame Pasta being a dded to tl list; the obje c t o f t h e per f ormance b e i ng to add soot! thing to the funds for assisting the Italian exiles now this country. The house, though not crowded, was w€ attended, and a ecnsideraWe sum was no doubt realise Madam e -Pasta exper enced an enthusiastic recept.iol She was encored in the duet, " Quest° cor ti gn' : amore," from Rossini' s D eme t r i o e Polibio, with Aid i ' Parodi; besides which she snug Pacint's aria, ~ I till frt. quen ti palpiti," which was also much applauded.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) DUBLIN, JULY 12. [We have received the following from W. Et Smith and Son, 1, Eden-quay, Dublin :—] NORTH OF IRELAND-12 . m OF JULY AFFRAY BETWEEN ORANGEMEN AND THE POLICE, CLOSE 'lO THE TOWN OF BELFAST. Last night (Thursday), about twelve o'clock, a great number of persons assembled near Malone turnpike, moving towards the town. The police, though numbering only five, under Constable Hind, prepared to meet the crowd of several hundreds, and, as they came through the turnpike, the police noticed a procession in the act of forming, headed by a young lad, beating a large drum, decorated with orange lilies. The police arrested the youth, when the mob hooted and pelted them with stones, and endeavoured to rescue the prisoner. The with the prisoner and the drum, reached the barrack, which was at once attacked, and all the windows in front broken. The crowd would listen to neither en treaties nor threats, the police loading their carbines and fixing their bayonets without avail ; when at last the police were compelled, in self-defence, to fire first one shot, which being unheeded, a volley of four more was fired, on which tw o young men - ( William Walker, 17, bearer of the drum, and William Ander son, one of the rescuing party) fell badly wounded. An investigation before the Mayor and Mr. Tracey, 11.. M., is to be held at the police-office this day (Friday).—Chronicle. SUICIDE OF WALTER WATTS. This morning the greatest excitement prevailed in Newgate amongst the turnkeys and others, when it became known that Walter Watts, the late 1 ssee of the Olympic Theatre, had, at three o'clock this morning committed suicie:e by hanging. But a few hours before hai Donovan terminated his existence in pre cisely a similar manner, and during the day had both the deceased received their sentence for their separate crimes from the same judge, and in the same court. It appears that Walter Watts had, during his confinement in Newgate, been so ill, that for the last few weeks be had been an inmate of the ward infirmary. In the same room were six other prisoners. It also appeared that the unfortunate man had been lately troubled with diar rhoea, and that ho was nightly in the habit of getting up and going to the water-closet. In order not to catch cold be had always a dressing gown and pair of slippers ready to put on. At about three o clock this morning the person who slept next to him was astonished to find the deceased out of bed and his gown and slippers in their usual place. Thinking something might have happened, having heard Watts say how severe the sentence was that he received that day, he went down to the water-closet, where, to his horror, be discovered the unfortunate man quite dead, having hanged himself in precisely a similar manner to that of Donovan, to the bar of the cell window by a piece of rope and his cravat. Ile was immediately cut down, and Mr. M'Murdo, the prison -surgeon, called, but it was too late, the unfortunete deceased having breathed his last an hour before being discovered. The exc i temen t which prevails in the neighbourhood is in tense, and the circumstance of two prisoners hanging themselves in one day requires looking into. CABINET COUNCIL•—(TIIIS DAY.)—A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign•otfice to-day, at twelve o'clock. There were present the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord John Russell, the Earl of Carlisle, the Earl of Mint(); Earl Grey, Viscount Palmerston, Sir George Grey, Sir F. T. Baring, S r John C. ifilahouse, the Right Hon. Fox Maule, and the Right Hon. Henry Labouchere. Several of the Ministers, after the breaking up of the Council, Froceeded to Buckingham Palace, where a Privy Council had been summoned for three o'clock. _ DIRECT EXETER, PLYMOUTH AND DEVONPORT RAlLWAY.—Yesterday the Master in Chancery, Sir W. Home, made a call of 115/. upon each of the 48 members of the provisional committee to this undertaking, to pay off the expenses already incurred in ihe process of winding up the concern, and independent of the payment of its out standing debts, which will have to be liquidated by a se cond call. BRITISH ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY.--.ThiS company's Bill passed safely through the Committee of the Lords last evening. ROTTERDAM.—It is announced in the advices from Rotterdam, that the Second Chamber of the States General have sanctioned by a majority of 50 against 15, the Ministerial projects abolishing all differential duties, be sides the transit duties and the Rhine dues; as also the im portant change in the navigation-laws, according to which foreign vessels can now obtain the Dutch flag by paying a registration duty of four per cent. ad valorem. These pro jects will soon be submitted to the approval of the First Chamber, and to the sanction of his Majesty the King; after which they will be carried into effect with as little delay as possible. ADULT DEAF AND DUMB INSTITUTION.—Last evening a meeting of the friends and subscribers to the above institution was held in the board-room, 26, Red Lion-square, Bloomsbury. The routine business having been disposed of, a warm tribute was paid to the memory of the late president of the institution, the Duke of Cambridge, to whose liberality and ready personal exertion much of the progress and prosperity of the charity was indebted. His Royal Highness, it was observed, had already warmly advocated the institu• tion, and had conseuted to preside over the ensuing anniver sary festival. The meeting expressed its deep regret in the demise of his Royal Highness—a loss that would be severely felt by many public charities, and equally by the public at Lugo. The liberal donation of thirty guineas from his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury and the trustees of the Chol mondeley charities having been acknowledged, the meeting separated. and the A LARMING COACH ACCIDENT. — The Retaliator coach, retu rn i ng from Writtle races on T ues d ay n i g h t, on i ts way to R u mf ord, was overturned near S h enf i eld toll-gate, p as sengers, about twenty in number , were precipi tatedi with great v i o l ence to t h e ground. Though many sustained bruises, happily not a bone was broken. The -- *vehicle was shattered, Chebilford Chronicle, The Advocate CERNIISCHI, who for the last twelve month has been confined in the dungeons of Rome to gratify the truly sacredotal hatred of the priests and cardinals, has at length been released, after having been twice tried on the same charges before a French court-martial and twice acquitted. The Official Gazette of Naples, of the 7th instant, says, the note of the English Minister relative to the demand for .indemnities for the losses of English subjects had been received and laid before the Com mittee appointed for investigating such claims, and that the Ministers of Prussia, England, France, and Austria, bad been invited to a conference on the sub ' jest, at which it was resolved that the matter should be arranged by peaceful negotiation, and that there is no fear of other measures being resorted to. The Senate of Turin, in its sitting of the 64), voted by a majority of 48 to 15 the Bill already passed by the Chamber of Deputies, granting a credit of 100,000 f. for the relief of Italian emi grants.—ln its sitting of the same day, the Chamber of Deputies, after some discussion, voted the order of the day- on the question addressed to the Cabinet by Signor Gavolli on the subject of the artillery of the national guard of Genoa. The Minister of Agriculture and Commerce afterwards presented two Bills, one for the general reorganiza tion of differential duties, and the other on navigation dues. The Giornale di Roma of the 2d states that Cardi nal Altieri having convoked the provincial council of the province of Rome, according to the law of July .5, 1831, that body assembled on the Ist, in his palace, and after a short speech addressed to the Cardinal as president of the province, immediately proceeded to business, which related chiefly to the good adminis tration and direction of the interests of the province. The Aldan Gazette of the 6th officially announces that the great electro-telegraphic bne of the Austrian empire will in a few days be extended to Milan, and will be open to the use of the Government as well as that of the public. The Duke of Castiglione returned from Vienna on the 4th to Florence, and immediately resumed the portfolio of Foreign Affairs. The Grand Duke is expected back shortly.
