' t-f, 56 4 : - r - alumina ;;;Atit LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1851. I❑ the House of Lords last night, A short conversation took place on the subject of the erection of a Protestant place of Worship in Rome, in the course of the Marquis of LANSDVWNI: ex pressed his far that no liberality v: a 3 to be expected from Roman Catholic Governments towards Protestants. The Royal assent was gi7en by Commission to several Bills. The Patent Law Bill was thrown out. Several Bills were forwarded a stage, and their Lord ships adjourned. In the House of Commons, The report of the Committee on the attendance of Members at the bar of the House of Peers was read, and resolutions founded thereon were agreed to. In answer to Sir DE LACY EVANS, Lord PALMERSTON said that the Government could not interfere in the affairs of Naples, but that he had directed the British representatives at foreign Courts to brirg under the notice of the Governments to which they were accredited the pamphlets which had been recently published by Mr. GLADSTONE. Mr. HumE moved that the evidence taken before the Income-tax Committee be printed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the motion, and on a division, it being discovered that there wero only thirty Members present, the House adjourned This day the Parliamentary Session of 1851 will be brought to a conclusion. Many and serious as have been the backslidings of former years, perhaps the difference between promise and performance has never been more painfully conspicuous. There was a reckless procrastination —an anxiety to postpone any and every subject of the slightest importance until a more convenient season. The Ecclesias tical Titles Assumption Bill will be the chief monument of legislatorial labour dur ing the year of the Great Exhibition, as it consumed the greater portion of time not de voted to merely formal business, and in saying this, we believe that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to pass a stronger censure on the proceedings. Even to the very last, matters were conducted in the same spirit. Although the House of Commons, contrary to our expectations, made acreditable attempt to pass the Patent Law Amendment Bill—although by a laudable effort it repaired the evil occasioned by the discourteous conduct of the legislative GEDULD:, no benefit was derived from these exertions, It was true that the Earl of MINT() moved that the Commons' amendments should be agreed to, but he did so in the style of Sergeant LENS, " very faintly, and as if without a hope of success." The Noble Lord, in fact, invited opposition, by stating that the amendments " were of such a nature that it was al most too much to ask their Lordships, at this period of the session, to assent to them." On the first show of resistance, although proceeding from one of the least influential Members of the Upper House, and that resistance actually courted, the mea sure was abandoned and rejected without a division. It was, in fact, as if a strongly armed convoy had sent out flanking parties to ascertain the chalices of attack, and to rouse any sleeping opponent, and that, on discovering a boy armed with a pop-gun, they had flsd in disorder, abandoning the goods they had un dertaken to protect. We cannot imagine a more suitable comparison for the ignominious surrender of one of the few measures of practical utility which might have in some degree redeemed that reproach that must now attend the session just concluded, and that on the first summons of the Lord MONTEAGLE But why should we wonder ? greater events have sprung from more trivial causes ? The cackling of a goose saved the capitol—the hissing of the ci (levant SPRING RICE, who was pitcbforked into the Upper House by the Whigs in order that they might get rid of an incompetent Chancellor of the Exchequer —oh that Sir CHARLES WOOD had received similar promotion !—has thrown impediments in the way of inventors for another (we trust only for another) year. The proceedings in other matters were of a similar character ; the same temporising and procrastinating policy was perceptible in every matter and on every point brought under the notice of Parliament. The myth of Pesainorz's web received a new illustration, the labours of one portion of the Legislature being neutralized by the other. Thus the Marriages Affinity Bill, which on successive years had been carried in the House of Commons by large and over whelming majorities, was rejected by the hereditary legislators—lawn sleeves being on the occasion " Thick as leaves on Vallambrosa—" the Right Rev. gentry being apparently as anxious to get their fingers into the pie,_ as if another Hor field Manor was surrendered to their tender mercies, to be dissevered from the property of the Church, and transferred to that of the individual bishop. Again the Oath of Abjuration Bill came up from the Commons with unusual prestige. The matter related solely to the House of Commons, which should be the best judge of the privileges and qualifications necessary for its own Members. With singular, and, as we conceive, most uncalled•for delicacy, it declined adjudicating on the matter of its authority, as it might, and with any degree of proper self•respect, would have done. The question lay in a nutshell. A precedent bad been established in the case of Mr. PEASE that should have been decisive on the point. There waa no truckling on the part of the popular branch of the Legislature, while the Reform Act was yet recent, and its effects perceptible in the conduct of the representatives of the people. That exaggerated complaisance was reserved for a later period—for the second moiety of the 19th century. Subsequent statutes, more especially the 1 and 2 Victoria, cap. 105, might have removed any doubts as to the validity of the tendered oaths. But the Commons behaved like a timid maiden, referring the pressing suitor to its elder relative, and "ask my Ma" was the only answer which Alderman SALOMONS could obtain to bis earnest solicitations. We need not state the un toward result. The question stands over for the present, and will, most probably, be decided by one of the legal tribunals of the coun try, and the House of Commons will have abdicated its natural functions without any sufficient cause, and without any recompense. It would be too painful a task to go through the various subjects respecting which complaints might justly be preferred ; we shall, therefore, only refer to the proceedings on the Property and Income-tax Bill. In place of dealing with the subject in a manly and straightforward manner, and making such alterations as would render the impost, if not altogether equitable, at least in some degree approximating thereto, the House transferred the responsibility to a Select Committee, renewing the measure for a single year with all its imperfections. Although the appointment of the Committee was thus carried, more than a month elapsed before the nomination of its members, which might never have taken place if Mr. Hunta bad not surrendered his privileges to Sir CHARLES WOOD, and enabled the Right Honourable Baronet to constitute it so that no possible ad vantages could be derived from its labours. We now find that although evidence was .taken it is not to be published, and that, in fact, the country i s to be left in the dark on this all-important subject until next year. Let Ministers, however, pause, they may press too strongly on the national forbear m manoeuvres ante. The income-tax is a subject on which no trickery may Minis t erial to difficulties of will now be tolerated or sanctioned. The led to the Minist office in 1852. CHARLES WOOD on tbis point haii°slic—oltlehaegyuesoffroSmil.the present ses sion—they th e ignominious expulsion of An elegant and gratifying token of their apprecia tion of the energy and talent of Mr. PAXTON, in owing his design of th Crystal Palace to be sue. LONDON, •FRIDAY cessfully carried nut, wa3 pricl on Tuomtly last to that dis . irguished man by the gentry of the good town of Derby. Nov the least intereting feature of the entertAinrrov. was the pre ence of the princely owner of Chatsworth, who erjoys the proud con- scionsnEss of having in years gone by given a helping hand to the steady and hardworking South who was destined one day to win so high a station in the ranks of nature's nobility, and of witnessing the world renowned fruits of his former generous patronage. When the design for the unparalleled structure, was first propounded by Mr. PAXTON, it was regarded by many with astonishment verging on incredulity, but the Duke of DEVONSHIRE knew his man. He felt a thorough confidence in the powers and perseverance of one whom "he bad never known to fail in any thing be had undertaken," in his " well regulated, clear, and active mind—his powerful and persevering will," and it was with a generous and just exultation that be was enabled on Tuesday evening to proclaim his pride in being connected with the pcssessor of " mind, integrity, simplicity, and talent, to enjoy whose confidence was as gratifying to his (the Duke's) feelings as his extensive services had been conducive to his worldly prosperity." Cordially do we unite in the certainty expressed by the noble speaker that, should the arrangements and regulations of the Crystal Palace hereafter be confided to the inventor, its merits and advantages in a second state would be as striking and as well appreciated as they were in the first." The speech of the honoured guest of the occasion afforded an interesting expression of the feelings which inspired him, from the very first, as regarded the stupendous edifice. " When the Exhibition," said he, " was first propounded, I hailed it with un mixed pleasure ; it appeared to me like a beam of light of vast magnitude, embracing a field of opera- tion, the true advantages of which could only be felt in after times, when the great efforts made would un fold themselves in a thousand different and unlooked for channels This is, the seed time, the harvest will assuredly follow. Not only will the mechanical in- genuity of man find means for extended improve meat, but the social nature of man will receive its re wards in the sweeping away of national prejudice, and establishing between nation and nation, and man and man, a kinder appreciation of each other's worth, and a more charitable view of each other's frailties." And of the correctness of those views we are now, fortunately, enabled to judge from the ex- perience of the last three months. Nor can the lucid statements made - by Mr. PAXTON, of his connexion with the magnificent scheme, and the reasons which induced him to furnish a plan, be perused without exciting interest throughout its details in the breast of every one less insanely pre judiced than the Gallant Representative of Lincoln. Perseveringly and confidently we find him working out his absorbing object from the first sketch made o❑ a sheet of blotting paper, and which indicated the principal features of the building as it now stands as much as the most finished subsequent drawings, to the realization of the marvellous conception. We may direct attention en passant to the refutation of an opinion which we shared in common with the rest of the world, that the circular roof of the transept was designed by Mr. BARRY, and not by Mr. PAXTON. " Sui cuique honores." The architects of the two great palaces have each sufficient laurels of their own. Nothing, however, could exceed the handsome and ungrudging manner in which Mr. PAXTON spoke of all his coadjutors, awarding his cordial weed of applause especially to the ability, energy, and transcendent skill of Messrs. Fox and HENDERSON, and the admirable judgment displayed by Mr. OWEN JONES in his selection of colours for the interior of the building. In referring to a notion on the part of some that the plan of the structure was merely " a fortunate idea," the speaker happily observed—and we would direct atten tion to the concluding sentences of the paragraph as a graceful specimen of sincere and unfulsome grati tude,:—" The idea, though fortunate, was not a for tuitous one. It was the result of long study and long labour, without which no really practical idea can be worked out into a distinct and palpable design. The great experience I had in the erection of glass struc tures, and the invariable success which had attended my exertions, emboldened me to produce that design, because I had not a doubt of its practicability if pro perly carried out. I had two objects in view in offer ing a design—the first was, that my proposal would be exactly suitable for the exhibition ; and next, it would meet a long cherished idea of mine fur a na tional winter garden. I have stated to you that the Victoria Regia was the immediate cause of my send ing in a design for the Crystal Palace; but the Crys tal Palace does not derive its origin from the exist ence of that noble plant. No ! It owes its erection to a nobler work of nature—the Noble Duke whom I have had the honour and pleasure to serve for more than a quarter of a century. It is to his fostering hand I owe all I possess ; he took me when quite a youth and moulded me according to his wants and wishes ; he has given me all the advantages of extended travel with himself, which could not fail to produce fruit in due season ; by his confidence and liberality I have had placed before me ample means for various experi ments, and without which, depend upon it, there never would have been a Crystal Palace ; and if there is one thing more than another that would en hance the pleasures of this day, it is that his Grace has done me the honour to be present to see the flat tering tribute you have paid ma." It is because we believe Mr. PAXTON to have attained his celebrity not by luck, or fitful genius, but by thoughtfulness, ' observation, and assiduity, because we believe him to deserve it, alike from the possession and combination of those qualifications, and from an unselfish, un presumptuous , and kindly disposition, that we rejoice in the public appreciation of his deserts, evidenced in such manifestations as that which has reflected credit on the citizens of Derby. Being personally unacquainted with him, we can the more unreserv edly say, that, judging both from his performances and his words, he may justly be pronounced de serving in the extreme of the popular admiration and respect which gather thick around his name. FRENCH PLATS, ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—Her Majesty the Queen has graciously intimated her intention of visiting the French Plays this evening, on whi c h occas i on Monsieur Bouffe will appear in his celebrated character of Grandet, in the popular play of "La Fille de l'Avare ;" and Monsieur Lafont in Alfred de Musset's comedie, " 11 faut qu'une Porte wit Ouverte on Feriae." THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.—Another of the meetings, making up the grand " Teetotal Demonstration for all Nations in 1.51," was held yesterday evening in St. Martin's-hall, Long-acre • Mr. Livesey, of Preston, in the chair. At six o'clock, the hour announced as that at which the proceedings should commence, the attendance was ex ceedingly thin; but this circumstance the chairman ex plained, by a statement that some of the placards had, by an unfortunate mistake, given the time of assembling as seven. Various temperance melodies were sung to fill up the interval, and Mr. Livesey, who was loudly cheered, de tailed to the audience the progress of the temperance move ment, especially in Preston, whence he came. Subsequently the hall became densely crowded, remaining so till nearly eleven o'clock, by which time many more songs had been sung and many more speeches delivered, much to the satis faction of the numerous audience brought together by the occasion. A letter from the proprietor of the Surrey Zoolo gical Gardens, where the teetotallers in very large numbers (25,000 in all) gathered recently, informed the secretary of the extreme orderliness and propriety of behaviour there maintained ; and the reading of this epistle to the meeting, complimentary as it was to the body to which the majority belonged, called forth moat vehement applause. THE CONDEMNED CONVICT AT NORWICH. ---The execution of the condemned convict, Henry Groom, who was tried and found guilty at the last Norfolk assizes for an ag gravated case of murder, is fixed to take place on Saturday, the 9th instant, at twelve o'clock, in front of Norwich Castle. Since his condemnation, the miserable culprit seems to be perfectly alive to the fearful nature of his po sition, and has made in general terms a full confession of his guilt to the gaol chaplain. He is most attentive to the reli gious consolation offered to him, and admits the perfect jug• tice of his sentence. THE PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.--Yesterday a report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons appointed to settle the order in which the Members shall accompany the Speaker in the opening or proroguing Par liament was printed. Every Member desirous of attending the Speaker is to communicate his intention in writing to the Clerk of the House, in case the House is not sitting, be fore fi ve o'clock on the day preceding, and if it s i tti n g, b e " between the hour of three in the afternoon an House d the rising of the House on the ea), preceding." On the being summoned to attend her Majesty the Cabinet Ministers pre sent are immediately to follow the Speaker. On the day of meeting , or the prorogation, b e fore any other business be done, the nam es o f the Me mbers are to he put into a glass and arranged according to the order in which they shall be drawn forth therefrom—the Members to proceed to the House of Lords in ranks of four. After the House has been sum moned to attend her Majesty no Member is to remain in, cross, or pass through, any door leading to the House of Lords, and the Sergeant -at-Arms is to keep the passage clear of Members. ELECTION OF A REPRESENTATIVE PEER FOR SCOTLAND.—Lord Colville, of Cuhoes, was elected at Holy— rood, on Wednesday, a representative peer for Scotland, in roil of the late Viscount Strathelleus EVENING, AUGUST 8 1 1851. PROROGATION PARLIAMENT. HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, I am glad to be able to release you from your attendance in Parliament, and I thank you for the diligence with which you have performed your labo rious duties. I continue to maintain the most friendly rela tions with Foreign Powers. I am happy to be able to congratulate you on the very considerable diminution which has taken place in the African and Brazilian slave trade. The exertions of my squadrons on the coasts of Africa and Brazil, assisted by the vigilance of the cruizers of France and of the United States, and aided by the co-operation of the Brazilian Go vernment, have mainly contributed to this result. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, I thank you for the readiness with which you have granted the supplies necessary for the service of the year. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, It is satisfactory to observe that notwithstanding very large reductions of taxes, the revenue for the past year considerably exceeded the public expendi ture for the same period. I am rejoiced to find that you have thereby been enabled to relieve my people from an impost which restricted the enjoyment of light and air in their dwellings. I trust that this enactment, with others to which your attention has been and will be directed, will contribute to the health and comfort of my subjects. I thank you for the assiduity with which you have applied yourselves to the consideration of a measure framed for the purpose of checking the un due assumption of ecclesiastical titles conferred by a foreign power. It gives me the highest satisfaction to find that, while repelling unfounded claims, you have main tained inviolate the great principles of religious liberty, so happily established among us. The attention you have bestowed on the admi nistration of justice in the Courts of Law and Equity, will, I trust, prove . beneficial, and lead to further improvements. I have willingly given my consent to a Bill re lating to the Administration of the Land Revenues of the Crown, which will, I hope, conduce to the better management of that department, and at the same time tend to the promotion of works of public utility. It has been very gratifying to me on an occasion which has brought many foreigners to this country, to observe the spirit of kindness and good-will which so generally prevailed. It is my anxious desire to promote among na tions the cultivation of all those arts which are fos tered by peace, and which in their turn contribute to maintain the peace of the world. In closing the present Session, it is with feelings of gratitude to Almighty God that I ac knowledge the general spirit of loyalty and willing obedience to the law which animates my people. Such a spirit is the best security at once for the pro gress and the stability of our free and happy institu -1 tions. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Last evening Madlle. Alboni appeared in the cba racter of Maria in the Figlia del Reggimento, for the first time in this country. In the course of this spring she created a great sensation in Paris by her persona tion of the Daughter of the Regiment, and from what we witnessed of her performances last evening, we are not surprised at her immense success in this cha racter in Paris. There is a heartiness about the per sonation of this character by Madlle. Alboni which we seek in vain for in that of any of her predecessors. She has also learned to beat the drum, and she herself beats the Ratanplan. Her singing throughout was delicious, and her Maria will become one of the most favourite parts in her repertoire. The " Lo dice" was exquisitely rendered, and was, as a matter of course, encored. The house was crowded. ARRIVAL OF INDIAN CHIEFS WITH ARTICLES FOR THE GREAT ExliinmoN.—A party of four Indian chiefs have arrived in the metropolis rid Liverpool, by the steamer Africa, from New York. They have br oug h t w ith them several packages, contain ing articles worked by themselves and their families, which, it appears, are intended for the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations in Hyde-park, when arrangements are made for their reception into the Exhibition for the desired purpose. SINGULAR FATALITY.—On Wednesday a highly respectable master butcher, named Yarnell, living at 47, First-street, Wilton-street,. Chelsea, expired in St. George's Hospital from the injuries caused by an accidental stab, whioh occurred in a most singular manner. On Saturday evening Mr. Yarnell had been talking with another master butcher, a neighbour of his, and the latter having sharpened his knife placed the handle against his stomach, so that the blade was forward, and in a few seconds afterwards the de ceased, who probably was not aware of its position, or from the darkness of the night not seeing it, suddenly turned round towards the other, and the blade of the knife was in an instant forced into the stomach. The injured man was taken directly to St. George's Hospital, where he was placed under the care of one of the principal surgeons, but he ex pired on Wednesday from the effects of the injury. NEEDLE MAHING.—Mr. Abel Morrall, of Stud ley, in Warwickshire, has invented a most ingenious machine for making needles, which Islay be seen at work in the Ex hibition, from ten in the morning until five in the afternoon. By this ingenious process 4,000 needles per hour are now easily eyed, whilst according to the old system only from 400 to 500 per hour could be completed. Samples of needles in the principal stages of manufacture are exhibited by Mr. Morrell. Our readers will many of them be surprised to learn that the needle goes through no less than seventy dis tinct processes before it is completed. Her Majesty, during her visits to the Exhibition, has minutely examined the needle-making machine, and has expressed her satisfaction and delight at the ingenuity of the machinery. Her Majesty was graciously pleased to accept from the inventor specimens of needles in the different stages of manufacture. GEIMSTONE'S EGYPTIAN PEA.--In the month of May, 1850, we were presented by Mr. Wm. Grimstone, proprietor of the Herbary, Highgate, with a box containing a few peas. These were a portion of the produce of three peas, presented to Mr. Grimstone, by Mr. Pettigrew (li brarian of the late Duke of Sussex), and were found amongst the dust on opening the vase (2,844 years old) sent to the British Museum by Sir Gardiner Wilkinson, the Egyptian traveller. Having given twelve peas to Thomas Bubb, Esq., of Windsor-terrace, in this town, who kindly con sented to plant them, and, having seen the results of his experiment, we strongly recommend the cultivation of this beautiful vegetable. Mr. Babb not being aware of the prolific properties of this pea was perfectly astonished at the quantity of seed realised from nine of the peas ( nearly a pint), three of them having been destroyed by blight. That gentleman being determined this season of giving them every attention, planted a portion of them in a prepared soil, in the open air, and succeeded in bringing the majority of them to maturity. The bloom is strikingly different from the common pea—white, with green stripes—it does not ex pand, but of a bell shape, producing the pod from the centre of the bloom, leaving the blossom attached to the stem. In shape they resemble the scimitar or marrowfat pea; they require no sticks in their growth, being of the dwarf kind, a string from end to end being all that is required to preserve them from the winds. Mr. Bubb has our thanks for a small sample of this vegetable, and we can safely pronounce it superior to any other table pea in taste and colour. The flavour is delicious, and combined with its abundant crops, we have no doubt that ere long "Grimstone's Egyptian Pea" will be extensively cultivated in all parts of the world.—Cheltenham Journal. BALLOONING IN FRANcs.—Large crowds assem bled on Sunday in the Champ de Mars and at the Hippo drome, to witness two balloon ascents, accompanied by de scents in parachutes. M. Poitevin made the ascent from the Champ de Mars, and Mme. de Poitevin made the parachute descent. After the balloon had risen to a certain height the cord of the parachute was cut; the parachute descended ra pidly for a few seconds, and then spread open; when near the ground it caught in the branches of some trees, but at last reached the earth in safety at the exterior of the Champ de Mars, near the railing of Avenue do Suffren. Mine. de Poitevin, who displayed remarkable sangfroid, then entered her carriage, whi c h bad followed her, and drove to the tri bune of the President of the Republic, n ho congratulated her, and accepted the bouquet which she had taken on starting. N. Godard, in the Hippodrome balloon, took up his brother in the parachute; ho cut the cord when he was over the Champ de Mars, but the parachute deviated, and fell into the river. M. Godard, when near the water, jumped in, and swam ashore, dragging the parachute after him. The two balloons proceeded in a southerly direction, and it is not yet known where they descended. M. Poitevin was accom panied by N. Petin, the inventor of a system of aerial navi gation, which he is preparing to exhibi t, and M. Godard by several gentlemen. The General Steam Navigation Company's new steam-ship Panther arrived at the St. Katharine's-wharf at eight o'clock yesterday morning, after a passage of 9 hours from Ostend, bringing several passengers of distinction, many of whom have come expressly to inspect the articles at the Great Exhibition.

A letter from Berlin, 3d instant, says :—" It is certain that the projects of Austria to enter, with all her states, into the Confederation, and that of Prussia to take out of it her Prussian provinces and Posen, are only up to this time wishes expressed by these two Governments, and although it appears to be wished to remain ignorant of the protests of France and Eng land against these projects, it is not the less true that there is no intention of disregarding them. France and England have not yet replied to the last resolution of the Federal Diet, which rejected their protests, but no idea is entertained that these two powers will abandon their decision. Some doubt is felt as to whether the Germanic Diet has resolved to suppress gambling establishments in the different states of Germany. The Government has given orders for an inquiry to be instituted into the cause of the diminution in the consumption of salt during the present year." DENMARK AND TH►E DUCHIES. The Prussian Gazette, under date of Copenhagen, the 3:1, says : " The majority of the members of the Assembly of Notables of Flensburg have adopted the following or ganization for the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstei❑ : " Art. 1. The Danish monarchy forms one united na tion, under the same prince, with the same order of succession, with one diplomatic and consular repre sentation, and one fleet and flag. One system of com merce, navigation, coins, &c., shall be established. The sinking-fund of the public debt of Denmark and Hol stein shall take place, and the portion for Holstein shall be fixed according to the population. " Art. 2. The Duchy of Holstein shall continue to form part of the Germanic Confederation. " Art. 3. When the affairs which interest the whole of the monarchy are discussed in the Council of State the Holstein Minister shall have a deliberative vote in the Council. _ _ " Art. 4. The Duchy of Schleswig shall have a spe cial Diet, and a subordinate administration fur certain affairs. In other cases it shares in the system of Den mark. For ordinary affairs, Denmark and Schleswig will have the same Government and the same laws. " Art. 6. The Danish and German people in the Duchies will enjoy the same rights and the same pro tection. " Art. 7. The affairs of Schleswig and Holstein, which have hitherto been iu common, will be henceforth se parate. " Art. 8. No change can be made in the above regula tions except with the consent of the Legislative power. " Art. 9. The Duchy of Lauenbourg shall continue to belong to the Germanic Confederation. " The provisions of Art. 1 also apply to that Duchy; as to affairs which are not common to all the Monarchy the Duchy shall have its administration and special Diet. The latter will exercise the Legislative power with the King." ITALY. NOTICE TO MARINERS. TWO communiewions have been forwarded from the cflice of the Committee of the Privy Council of Trade to the Secretary at Lloyd's (Captain Halsted, R.N.) the first to the t ffeet that the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs ut Madrid had declared that all captains and masters of foreign vessels which may hereafter enter the lazarettos of Mahon and Vigo to perform quarantine will be obliged to present the manifesto of such goods or articles en which sanitary duties are levied, in the Spa nish language, of their respective pardon. On adopting this measure it has been borne in mind that, as the masters of vessels are boned to exhibit another more detailed manifesto, drawn up in Spanish, to the Admi nistration of the Custom-house, it will be no great trou ble to them to make a more reduced copy of the latter, thereby affording greater facility to the officer of the Board of Health for the exact calculation of the duties which are to be levied. The Consulate from Teneriffe, dated June 14. notify ing that the Provincial Board of Health at Teneriffe have decided that all arrivals from Bahia, Pernambuco, Rio Janeiro, and other ports of Brazil, shall not be admitted to Fatigue in the islands until they have per formed quarantine either at Vigo or Port Mahon, in consequence of the reported existence of yellow fever o❑ the Brazil coast, this measure has been adopted here in accordance with a similar decision made by the Caliz Board of "Health under date of the 20th ult. This decision will .:fTeet the Royal Mail seam Packet Company's vessels on their return from the Brazils, bnt the civil governor of this island has assured me that every facility shall be given for the embarka,tio❑ of de correspondence, passengers, merchandise, or provisions, and for coaling in case of need.

A correspondent of the Lombardo Veneto of Milan gives the following account of the positions which General GRMEAU has taken up at ltome. lie has concentrated all his troops on the right bank of the Tiber, leaving only half a battalion at La l'ilotta, for the defence of the French embassy. The military occupation extends from the Castle St. Angelo to the Porta Portese, at the other extremity of the Janicu ks. Thus the French army is situated between the Tiber and the most important fortifications of Rome. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es timated at 10,000 bales, of which 1.000 American were taken for export, and 500 Surat, and 1,000 American on speculation. The sales comprised 8,000 American, 700 Perm= and M.aranham at siti to 6-id , 200 Bahia at 5 3 ,1 d. to 60., 250 Egyptian at 51d. to 7d., and 800 Surat at aka. to 3,1 d. per lb. The market closed firmly, and American and Surat were d. higher for ord to low mid, and other kinds were a blade against the buyer.— The market for Railway Shares was firmer at higher quotations. In the Produce markets this week a good business has been done, and generally at full prices. The West India mail is still due. In the English Stock Market there is no change. Consols are 96a. Exchequer bills are about 483. pre mium. The attendance of members is thin. Spanish Five per Cents. are 20i, Portuguese Four per Cents. 32i to 33i, and Mexican to 304 31. Shares do not support the highest rates of yesterday. MARKET INEWS.--(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. A fair average supply of English Wheat has arrived up to our market, this week, costwise, viz., 2,370 quar ters, chiefly from Essex and Kent. Fresh up to-day the receipts were small, yet they were fully equal to the demand, which ruled heavy, at barely Monday's de cline in the quotations, and a total clearance was not effected. There were a few rubbed-out samples of new English Wheat, Barley, and Oats on show in good con dition. A few transactions took place for future deli very. Upwards of 18,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to hand. Selected samples were very dull, yet the importers refused to accept lower terms. The value of low and middling kinds was almost nominal Foreign Barley was in large supply. All kinds moved off slowly, and previous rates were with difficulty sup ported. We had a very inactive inquiry for Malt at about stationary prices. Very few home-grown Oats were brought forward, but the supply of foreign exceeded 51,000 quarters. Heavy qualities sold at late rates, but other kinds were 64 per quarter cheaper. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour commanded very little at tention. THE FETES AT PARIS. (From Galignani's Messenger of Wednesday.) GRAND RE VIE 1V AND SHAM FIGHT. The civic fetes which have been got up in honour of the visit of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of London and the Commissioners of the Exhibition were yesterday followed by a grand military spec tacle in the Champ de Mars. The commencement of the manoeuvres was fixed for four o'clock, but several hours before that time the Champ de Mars, the quays, the heights of Chaillot, and indeed every spot from whence a view could be obtained, was densely thronged. Tribunes had been erected on one side of the Champ de Mars for the accommodation of a certain number provided with tickets, and which were at an early hour filled with elegantly dressed females. The centre tribune was more particularly reserved for the Lord Mayor and the other visitors, by whom it was filled some time before the manoeuvres commenced. At about three o'clock the troops began taking up their positions. Precisely at four o'clock the President of the Republic, accompanied by a numerous and bril liant staff, entered the Champ de Mars from the right bank, and crossing the Pont d'lena. Among the cortege were thirteen or fourteen English officers. Marginal Narvaez and several other foreign officers were also among the number. The moment the President came on the ground, he rode up to the front of the tribune, and saluted the Lord Mayor and the gentlemen who were there seated. He then turned again towards the river, and the manoeuvres imme diately commenced. English •• • • • • Irish •• •• •• •• ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. 1 Oats. Flour Qrs. Qrs, Qrs. 1 Qrs.

Notwithstanding that our market to-day was season ably well supplied with Beasts, both as to number and quality, the demand for that description of stock was steady, and, in some instances, the primest Scots pro duced a trifle more money. Sheep—the supply of which was tolerably good—moved off slowly, yet previous rates were well supported. We had only a moderate inquiry for Lambe, at Monday'i currency. Prime small Calves were quite as dear; but other kinds of Veal commanded very little attention. The Pork trade ruled heavy, but we have no decline to notice in prices. Milch Cows were dull, at from 141 to 181 5s each, including their small Calf. In order to form an idea of the mimic combat, we must imagine a hostile force advancing from Passy and the Bois de Boulogne to attack the Ecole Mili taire, a strong fortress having the river in its front. The attacking army had pushed on a strong recon noitring party as far as the heights of Chaillot, on seeing which the general in command of the fortress took up a position in the Champ de Mars with his force, consisting of fourteen battalions of infantry, ten squadrons of light and heavy cavalry, and two batteries of artillery. Finding the enemy were occupying the heights opposite his position, he advanced a strong force of tirailleurs across the bridge of Jena, at the same time that he made a diversion on their left wing by throw ing a ponton bridge across the river a little way above. The tirailleurs, under the support of a heavy fire of artillery, advanced up the heights, keeping up a rapid fire as they advanced through the wood with which the heights are covered. They were met with a heavy fire from the party posted on them, as well as from some artillery placed on the summit. The reconnoitring party were at length driven back on their main body, and the tirailleurs retained possession of the heights. Their conquest, however, was but of short duration, for the main body of the enemy ad vancing, the tirailleurs were in their turn obliged to retreat and re-cross the bridge. The enemy then, in their turn, became the assailants, and, under a heavy fire from their artillery, advanced on the Champ de Mars, compelling the garrison of the fortress to fall back on their strong-hold. This was not done, how ever, without every inch of ground being warmly disputed. The coup (iced here became truly magnificent, dense columns were seen descending the heights to wards the bridge, marching across it, and debouching on the Champ de Mars, on entering which they formed in squares to repel the heavy charges of ca valry. Jn this way the two armies went on, the one advancing and the other retreating, until the whole body of troops, amounting to from 25,000 to 30,000 men, were concentrated in the Champ de Mars. S ome splendid charges of cavalry were made on the in fantry, formed in squares, who received them with a well-supported fire. All the movements were exe cuted with admirable precision. During the passing of the bridge, and the attack on it by the advancing party, the President and his staff placed thernselves on the quay, near the Pont d'lena, and remained thore until the hostile party began to descend the heights. On the President coming on the ground he was hailed with loud cries of " Vivo Napoleon Vire le Prtisident !" hundreds of blouses joining in the shout, and taking off their caps as he passed. The combat was terminated at about six o'clock, when the Presid en t di smounted, and entere d the tri bune for a few m i nu t es , a f ter wh i ch h e aga i n mo unted his horse, and taking up his station in front or the tribune, the filing otf c omm enced, and was not finished until more than half-past seven. lie then proceeded with his staff towards the Elas63 by the the same road he had come.

BIRMINGHAM, Auc. 7.—At Gloucester and WoiCester markets, on the 2d, there was a large supply of Wheat from the farmers, and little progress could be made in sales even by submitting to a reduction of ls. per qr. Barley nearly maintained its value, the supply being short. Few Oats offering. and lower prices were not submitted to. Beans nominally unaltered. Peas is per quarter lower. During the present week, the weather being as fine as possible for the harvest, scarcely a transaction is reported in Wbeat• Barley taken in retail at nearly previous rates.

Ad SlR,—Tile only conclusion to be drawn from _,'"" speech of the Bishop of London, in the House of Lorat. on Monday evening, appears to be that the evils will s he deprecates are t o . be perpetuated, or their removal ' a to be postponed until the Board of Health has overo ol3 2„ all the obstacles presented . to their progress, rather OR; hand over the duties of public interment to a comP °l „ whom, he assumes, would not duly provide for the cier. e .g° of the m etropolitan . parishes. This , happily, is °i b is assumption, and a groundless one, as ' the se great Puck company" to which be alludes , and rightly, as hilt; been called forth by the delay and diffic ulties of t` Board of Health, are not only ready to do at ones . that the Board contemplate, as the ultimate and an h a ve tent of their lingering and lavish proceedings, but "2%, actually made due and stringent reservation of 0 ,1 3 ", clerical rights which are unquestionably vested "b e metropolitan incumbents, and which the Bishop rual, t i e assured the company to which he alludes are as ' 1 "0, disposed to violate as any other board, whether 00131 „d tutud by individual enterprise or the more tardy II" costly process of centralization.—l sm.
