lEbttton SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. FRANCE. The new law on the press has been presented to the Assembly. It enacts the deposit of caution money, the payment of fines imposed by the authorities within three days on pain of suspension of the pub lication of the paper, and the revival of the stamp. The Gazette de France says that the Legitimatists will oppose the Bill. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE 0 --- F LORDS. Their Lordships met at Five o'clock. Lord BEAUMONT presented several petitions in favour of the extensionTHE PAR KS. of county courts. Lord BROUGHAM asked if there was any objection to lay before the House the plans for the alteration of the Green-park and of Hyde-park. He also complained of the removal of nine elms from Hyde-park. His Noble Friend who had been recently at the head of that department would have said with himself, in the words of Virgil— Fortunatus et ille Deos qui novit agrestes." but it would appear that his successor adopted a different reading, and said— " Fortuaatus et ille Deos qni movit agrestes." Some of these elms had been planted for more than 200 years. He had a motion on the subject for to-morrow, which he would postpone until Thursday, on the under standing that nothing should be done in the meantime. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE was understood to assent to the production of the papers, but not to assent to the proposition for postponement. Lord BROUGHAM would then let his motion stand for to-morrow. PETITIONS.. The Duke of RICHMOND presented several petitions in favour of the clause in the Factory of which he had given notice, and if that clause were not carried he should, on the motion for the third reading, move that it be read a third time that day six months. PRIVILEGES OF PEERS. The NOBLE DUKE then presented a petition from Lord Henniker , an Irish Peer, who had been appointed to serve the -office of High Sheriff of the county of Suffolk, which he considered was a breach of the privi lege of the Peerage, and praying for the interference of their Lordships. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the selection of sheriffs was made made not by the Privy Council, but by the judges of the land, who alone could decide what was or was not the law, and on them rested the respon sibility of the selection. There had been several in stances in which Irish Peers had served the office of sheriff in English counties. Lord BROUGHAM thought that this was a matter of privilege, and that, therefore, the House, and the House alone, could deal with it. The Earl of WICKLOW said that no Irish Peer had ever been called on to act as sheriff in his own country, and there was no reason why he should not be so called upon if he could be called upon so to act in this country. lie considered it was contrary to the Act of Union to call upon an Irish Peer so to act. Lord CAMPBELL said that to all privileges of Peers Irish Peers were strictly entitled, but not to privileges of Parliament, and the exemption from serving the office of sheriff was not a privilege of the Peerage, but a privi lege of Parliament, and therefore an Irish Peer, not a Member of Parliament, was not exempt. Atter a few words from Lord MONTEAGLE and the Duke of RICHMOND, the:petition was ordered to be laid on the table. POLICE IMPROVEMENT (SCOTLAND) BILL. This Bill passed through Committee. COURT OF SESSION (SCOTLAND) BILL. This Bill passed through Committee. Their Lordships then resumed. PARLIAMENTARY FRANCHISE (IRELAND; BILL Their Lordships then resolved themselves into Coco mittee on the Parliamentary Franchise (Ireland) Bill. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following Bills, with amendments, were read a third time aad passed : Cork Docks and Harbour Improvement. Marylebone and Finohley Turnpike Roads. Rochdale. through Bamford aud Birtle to Bury, and other Turnpike Roads. The following Bills, as amended, were considered and agreed to:— Birmingham and Pershore Road. Brigstoeke's (or Player's) Estate. Castley's Divorce. _ _ Earl of Lincoln's Divorce. The following Bills were read s second time, and ordered to be committed:— Earl of Shrewsbury's and Grace's Trustees Estate. Saint Andrew's and Quebec Railroad Company. Saint Thomas's Hospital Estate. Westminster Temporary Bridge. Wolverhampton Improvement Act Amendment. WESTMINSTER TEMPORARY BRIDGE BILL. Sir R.:H. INGLIS moved that this Bill, whicl , had just been read a second time, should be referred to a Select Committee. Mr. W. PATTEN thought if the Bill were referred to a Committee that the trustees of the bridge would be placed under great disadvantage. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ob jected to the motion. It was well known that a con siderable sum of money had been expended oa the present bridge with the view of making it a safe structure, but the object had not yet been ob tained, and the commissioners believed that it would be most to the advantage of the public to erect an entire new structure on the site of the old bridge, and as they were anxious that no delay should take place they thr,ught it advisable to put up a a temporary erectir,a at once, in order to accommodate the passen• gers arid other traffic while the works were going on. if the commissioners found that the bridge was capable cr't being repaired, so as to render it permanently safe, they would not erect a new structure. Mr. L. HODGES supported the motion for referring the Bill to a Committee. Sir C. BURRELL and Mr. GREENE also supported the motion. Mr. PETO said 70,000/. of the public money bad already been expended on the bridge, and yet it was sill in a ruinous state. He thought they ought to con sider whether a better site could not be selected than the present one. He should support the motion of to night for sending the Bill to a Committee up-stairs. After a few words from Mr. P. WOOD, _ Lord R. GROSVENOR said,although the two arches on the Surrey side of the river were not at present in a dangerous stata, it was quite impossible to say how soon danger might arise, and hence the temporary bridge became necessary. Mr. W. PATTEN suggested that they should allow the Bill to go before a private Committee, and defer the question of referring the matter of a new bridge to a Se lect C immittee till the third reading. Sir R. H. INGLIS said, inasmuch as the question in ♦olved in the Bill was a public one, he could not consent to take that course. The House then divided, when - there appeared— Fur referring the Bill to a Select Committee 138 Against it _ 15 --123 Majority ... PETITIONS. Sir ROBERT INGLIS presented petitions from seve ral places in Oxfordshire against the admission of Jews to Parliament. Mr FAGAN presented a petition from the Corpora tion of Cork. praying that the Petty Sessions Bill may be passed into a law. Sir CHARLES BURRELL presented petitions from Seven parishes in the county of Leicester against the admission of Jews to Parliament. Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT presented a petition to the same effect from a place in Wilts (as we understood). Mr. FREWEN presented a petition from a place in Leic , sterahire against the admission of Jews into Par liament. Mr. REYNOLDS, who in presenting himself in civic robes and paraphernalia was received with loud laughter and cheers, said he had to present a petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of. the borough of Dublin, stating that they had learnt with surprise and deep regret that the Government had introduced into Parliament a Bill for the abolition of the office of Lord. Lieutenant. They believed that such Bill would do great injury to Ireland in general and Dublin in particular, would increase absenteeism and loosen that connexion which had long existed be tween England and Ireland. They also stated that the present was a most unseasonable and improper time to withdraw any benefits from Ireland; and they prayed that the House would reject the said measure. Sir GEORGE GREY presented a petition from a place in the county of Northumberland against the re cent regulations in the Post-office. Mr. BANKES presented a petition from a place in the county of Dorset against the admission of Jews into Parliament. ATTORNEYS' CERTIFICATE BILL. In answer to Lord R. GROSVENOR, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the business of Parliament had been interrupted by the debate last week, and he could not at present fix any day on which to take this Bill. BUSINESS OP THE SESSION. In answer to a glestion from Sir B. HALL, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that on Thursday he would state what he meant to do with the various Bills, which mill remained undisposed of. Viscount DUNCAN moved ler returns of the cost of construc(ing the wells behind Trida!gr.r-square, and o• erecting the buildings, engines, mains, pipes, and works connected therewith. Of the annual expense in main taining; and ;_working the same : and of the establishments, houses, reservoirs, &C.. supplied w i t h water therefrom, the amount paid for the water so su pplied, and the amount paid by such buildingF, es t a blishments, reservoirs, Rc., before they were so supplied', Also for copies of the return to an order o f a special court of metropolitan sewers held the which order was. " That the 29th d ay o f August, 1849, secretary do forthwith prepare an account in detail of all the expenditure of and incident to the flush ing works done since the opening of the Com mission of November, 1347, and of all the work done 'for such expenditure, and under whose direction, showing the length of the sewers cleansed, THE- SUN, and, as nearly as may be, the quantity in cubic yards of soil removed by such flushing from its original place of deposit to its place of final discharge from the sewers, and do report thereon to the court, with such remarks as may enable the court to found an opinion as to the propriety of such expenditure ; and that every officer and servant do give, in writing un der his hand, to the secretary, all such information as he may require, in writing, for the purpose of ena bling him to make such report; and, when required in writing by him, to furnish him with vouchers to enable him to judge of the accuracy of such information; and that the secretary do also report to the court as to the compliance by such officers and servants with his requi sitions for such information and vouchers; and that such report be printed for the use of the commissioners; and of the minute of the special court of metropolitan sewers, for the 29th day of August, 1849.—Agreed to. EXHIBITION OF 1851.—THE TREES IN HYDE- PARK. Colonel SIBTHORP wished to ask the Attorney- General whether he could inform the House and the coun try by whose authority and directions the nice trees out of the ten previously marked to be cut down in Hyde-park had been cut down, and whether this act had been consti tutionally exercised in the grounds which have been for so many years maintained out of the public purse, and by successive votes of the House of Commons for that purpose; also, whether this power is limited, or to what extent it may be carried, and for what special purposes, and if for what is termed a commission to afford accom modation for foreign markets, and the importation or w arehousing of foreign goods ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he must preface his answer by reminding the House that the parks be longed to the Crown in fee, and that at each accession they were transferred to the Woods and Forests for the use of the public. He believed that the trees which had been cut down had been cut down by the direction of the Woods and Forests, and he believed that so long as they continued within their legal limits they had authority to control all matters relating to the park. The House would likewise remember that the powers of the Commissioners were limited by the 10th of George IV. Now, the Commissioners had a pertect right, as tenants for the life of her Majesty, to cut down all ripe timber without the consent of the Crown, and likewise to any similar act that is calculated to improve the property, without any sanction from the Crown, but they cannot fell timber that is not ripe without such sanction. With re spect to the power of the Commissioners to confer the right of building, they had no power of conferring the right to erect a permanent building, but they had the right of granting permission to erect a temporary construction, as was evidenced by the existence of the Royal Humane So cieties sheds in Hyde park. Mr. STUART—WiII - the Right Hon. and Learned Gentleman do me the favour to answer this question. How does be propose that the public should interfere? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it was not for him to suggest the mode. Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE wished to ask the First Lord of the Treasury when it is intended that the national exhibition, 1851, should close; and whether, in consequence of the increasing dissatisfaction on the part of the public, that the proposed exhibition should take place in Hyde-park, it would not be advisable that the selection of Hyde-park aa the intended site should be recon sidered by the Commission; also, whether, in the event of the amount raised or likely to be raised by voluntary , subscriptions proving inadequate to defray the ex penses of the exhibition, it is in the contemplation of her Majesty's Ministers to ask Parliament, either this year or next, for any grant of public money towards such expenses. Lord J. RUSSELL said, in reply to the first question, that the latest period at which the exhibition would be opened bad been fixed at the 10th of November, 1851, but it might be closed earlier, while it was provided that within seven months after the closing the con tractors should remove all the materials that remained on the ground. With regard to the second question, be begged to state that on Saturday and to-day the Com missioners bad held two meetings, both of which were very fully attended; and they had gone over the reasons which had induced them to select Hyde-pack as the site of the Exhibition, and the reasons which had been urged against it The Commissioners adhered to their former resolution, but they had thought it right to embody their reasons for so doing in the form of a report, a copy of which he should now move for, and which he hoped would be iu the bands of Hon. Members to-morrow. With regard to the last question, be had to state that it was not contemplated to make any public grant whatever. The Commissioners had always supposed that the sub scriptions and the money to be received at the doors would be more than sufficient to defray the expense of the exhibition. He now begged leave to move that a copy of the Commissioners' report be laid before the House. The motion was agreed to, and the returns ordered. Lord JOHN MANNERS wished to know from the Attorney-General whether the trees in question had been cut down in Hyde-park before or atter the signing of the sign-manual by her Majesty? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL knew nothing of the facts. He apprehended the sign-manual was given merely for the purpose of showing hereafter that there should be no breach of trust of the Commissioners as trustees of the public.. He thought it would be perfectly legal for the Commissioners to out down trees before the issuing of the sign-manual. Sir HENRY WILLOUGHBY asked Lord John Russell whether there exists in the Treasury, or in any other department of the State, a power to erect, or to consent to the erection, of any buildings in Hyde-park, without the consent of Parliament. Lord JOHN RUSSELL imagined there was such a power. Sir B. HALL thought the question before the public was one which was worthy the consideration of the House, and he was ready to go into it immediately. unless he had an assurance that an early day would be set apart for its discussion. If the Noble Lord would be good enough to set apart an early day for its dis cussion, he (Sir B. Hall) should be prepared to move en address to her Majesty, that she would be graciously pleased not to allow the proposed exhibition to take place in Hyde-park. Lord J. RUSSELL thought the House would gene rally be of opinion that it would be more to their ad vantage if they could discuss the question with a full knowledge of the facts. He had no objection to say he would be ready to give an early pay to allow the Hon. Baronet (Sir B. Hall) to bring on his motion. He would say either Thursday or Monday. Mr. B. OSBORNE called the attention of the House to the probable depreciation of the value of property in the vicinity of Hyde-park if it be persisted in to hold the exhibition there. Mr. HOPE adverted to the depreciation of his own property in the vicinage of Hyde-park, in case the exhi bition went on there, and drew an amusing picture of the incidents connected with traffic which would take place in removing the goods and implements for the exhibi tion from Ranelagh-wharf to Hyde-park, by way of Grosvenor-place, occasionally diverging into Belgrave square, and perhaps into Chesham-place itself. Colonel SIBTHORP complained of the delay which had already taken place, and of the procrastination which the Noble Lord showed , to' afford an explanation of this matter. He contended that - the parks were public property, and there was no authority to destroy them by a Commission like the present one. He con sidered that the Commission was nothing better than an attempt to encourage foreigners at the expense of native industry. He asserted that all sorts of means had been used to gain subscriptions to it, such as in timidation of tradesmen and the like. Mr. REYNOLDS, as an Irish Member, would not presume to meddle with this question, but that he thought he could get the House out of a diffi culty. For the information of Honourable Members who had not had the advantage of visiting Dublin, he would mention that her • Majesty owned a park in that city, called the Phoenix-park—(Great laughter)— and, in the name of his fellow-citizens, he begged leave to offer that park, and the circle in it called the Fifteen Acres, to his Royal Highness and the Noble Lords and gentlemen associated with him in this undertaking.— (Renewed laughter.) The citizens of Dublin, he could assure the Gallant Colonel, would not take the cutting down of a tree or two as a grievance. Thev would not say to his Royal High ness, " Woodman, spare that tree"—(Laughter)— but would be anxious to do all in their power to facilitate the carrying out of that great object. Dublin had another geographical advantage, for it was expected that a large amount of the industry and in genuity of the United States would be exhibited at the exposition of 1851, and it should be recollected that Galway was the next parish to the United States. — (A laugh.) He hoped the suggestion he had made would be taken into consideration by the Royal COM mission. Mr. ALCOCK suggested that Battersea fields would , be th e s o best one side t localiitye by thetoselee Ttfhoarmtehse, and e on thexbibitionother , being bounded by the South-Western Railway. He thought that . 10,000/. or 20,000/. would be saved by erecting final l e :l l U a V t E o L th L e intimatedsite ot t he that buildinghe c would T the har _g b i build ing in that situation. Thursday, d ye, at five o'clock. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said one of these days the y would have some of the Commissioners coming down to the House with a doleful face and an empty purse, say ing, " We relied upon the entrance fees; we are sorry to say this exhibition has cost somewhere about 200,000/. or 300,0004 4 and we have only got 100,000/. towards it. We have incurred great liabilities for this national undertaking, but of course you will not allow us to pay them." Now the result of that complaint would be a grant, but he put:it,to she House whether it would not be better to come to some understanding now upon the subject, and put a stop to the begging system that was now going on, and which was a disgrace to the country. Depend upon it something would have to be voted, perhaps in the shape of a police-rate, for immense bodies of people could not be brought to gether without there being some increased force re quired, and he therefore called upon Government to deal with the matter at once. Mr. B. COCHRANE said it was a pity these sug gestions were not made months ago. The subject then dropped. POST-OFFICE AND RAILWAYS. Mr. RICARDO said in February last be moved for a return of the moneys paids to railway s for carrying the pcst-bags, but still it had not been laid on the table yet. He wished, therefore, to know when it would be-forth coming? Mr. HAYTER said the return was long and compli cated, but it would be produced as soon as possible. IRISH LORD-LIEUTENANCY BILL. The LORD MAYOR of DUBLIN asked whether the Noble Lord at the head of the Government intended to bring on the Abolition of the Office of Lord Lieute nant Bill to -night. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 1, 1850. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he did not intend to proceed with it to-night. (LEFT SITTING. TATTERSALL'S-THIS EVENING. Six o'CLocx.

We mentioned in our last, that General Garibaldi, the celebrated defender of Rome, arrived in Liverpool on Saturday last, from Gibraltar. During his stay he resided at the Waterloo Hotel ; but his evenings were spent at the houses of some of our principal mer chants. The General is rather below the middle size, stoutly made, with an erect and soldier-like air. His manners are pleasing and lively, but in general his demeanour is staid and grave. Although brought up to sea as a naval officer, be is well educated, and of varied acquirements, speaking fluently many lan guages. He was engaged in the war of the Greek revolution, and served in command of a vessel of war under Lord Cochrane, at that time Admiral of the Greek fleet. He speaks in the highest terms of re spect of the people of Rome, and says they are grave and well conducted. He alludes with the greatest enthusiasm to the bravery and devotion of the young men of that city ; but ' does not appear to value highly the French as soldiers, nur their commander, Oudinot, as a tactician. Mr. Tower, from Essex, who accompanied the General, says he visited the breaches in the walls of Rome, and that one of them, before the French gave the assault, was wide enough fur fifty men to enter abreast. He also states that the house in which Garibaldi lived was perfectly riddled with shot. Mr. Tower further related a curious inci dent which occurred during the escape of Garibaldi from the power of the Austrians. The Austrians knowing that Garibaldi was concealed in the town, had given an order that every person who wore a beard should be imprisoned. When the occupant of the house in which Garibaldi was concealed brought this information, be urged the General to get rid of his beard. Instead of acting on tbis advice Garibaldi ordered an open barouche, into which be and his aid de-camps entered, and driving along the line of the Austrian forces, who were drawn up in the outskirts of the town, as he passed them he saluted the Austrian officers, who returned the salute, little imagining that the General was then daringly making his escape. Garibaldi sailed yesterday in the packet-ship Water loo, for New York, leaving on the minds of all who had the pleasure of meeting him a very favourable inopression.—Liverpool Mercury. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal.) Although the share market has not appeared particu larly active during the week, atill there has been an mverage amount of business transacted, and an inquiry for shares in several of the leading mines is still main tained. At the Trehune meeting a dividend of 11. per share was declare'', carrying to the credit of next ac count 4041. At the West Caradon meeting the accounts for March and April showed a profit of 1,1201., which, added to balance from last account, allowed a dividend of 21. 10s. per share, carrying to credit 2,0051. At the Craddock Moor meeting the accounts for March and April showed a balance of 991. in favour of the adven turers; but a call of 10e. per share was deemed neces• ,ary. At the Gonamene meeting a balance of 44/, was found in favour of the adventurers. From the agent's report we find the mine has very considerably improved, and is likely now to pay her way. At the Tregorden meeting the balance-sheet showed 272/. against the ad venturers, with other liabilities before the next account, amounting to 5064 when a call of 21. per share was made. At the Balnooa Consols meeting the accounts for the four months ending April showed a balance against the athenturers of 1701. odd. At the South Wheal Tre lawny meeting a call of 21. per share was made. The accounts for five months show a balance of 1511. against the mine. At a special meeting of the West Tolgus and Treloweth Company instructions were given for going on with the operations with renewed vigour, to carry out which a call of 10s. per share was made. At the Wheal Arthur meeting the accounts were presented, showing a balance at the end of February of 20/.; costs for March. April, and May, 84/..=1041; call made in March, 961.; leaving a balance against adventurers of 81. A call of 11. per share was made. In foreign mines the transactions have been of a limited character; still there have been a few bargains in Linares, St. John del Rey, Imperial and National Brazilian, Copiapo, United Mexican, Santiago, and Cobre. The report from Linares to the 15th of June iully corroborates former advices. An application has been made to the Government officers for an additional piece of ground, which has been acceded to. The quan tity of ore weighed in during the week appears to be 1 812 arrobas, which, added to that already in store, will give about 34 tons-310 arrobas having been carried to the shipping port. The annual meeting of the Bolanos Mining Company was held. on the 28th inst. The di rectors produced a report showing that the company was in debt to the bankers 2,1001.; but expressing a hope that the property in Mexico would suffice to free the company from their liabilities. All the mining opera tions had been stopped, and the expenses reduced to such as are unavoidable in winding up the concern. The re port was received, and the accounts of the year passed. At a special general meeting of the Asturian Mining Company, which was held for the purpose of ratifying a contract entered into with certain capitalists in Paris and Spain, for the purchase of the company's mineral pro perties, iron-works, and quicksilver apparatus in the Asturias (Spain), the contract was unanimously con firmed, subject to certain unimportant amendments. The annual meeting of the General Mining Association was held on the 27th inst., when the half-yearly divi dend of 10s. per share was declared.

THE KOH-I-NOOR, OR MOUNTAIN SUNDAY TRADING PREVENTION within seven days next after the commission of the OF LIGHT. BILL. 1 offence, and not afterwards. Her Majesty's steam-sloop Medea has just arrived at Portsmouth, with a freight more precious, in nomi nal value, than was ever carried from Peru to Cadiz. Major Mackeson, one of her passengers, a meritorious and distinguished officer, brings with him that famous diamond of the East called, in the fondness of Asiatic hyperbole,:the Koh• i-noor,orPfountain ofLight,whieb, after symbolizing the revolutions of ten generations by its passage from one conqueror to another, comes now, in the third centenary of its discovery, as the forfeit of Oriental faithlessness and the prize of Saxon valour, to the distant shores of England. It was in the year 1550, before the Mogul dynasty had been established by the prowess of the great Akbar, that this marvellous atone was first brought to light in the celebrated mines of Golconda. Tne kingdom of this name constituted one of the five Mahometan States which towards the close of the 15th century had been formed in the Deccan. The diamond mines which have rendered it so famous in story were situated at some distance to the east of the capital city, near the present station of Condapilly, and are now in our possession, though they have long ceased to reward or invite the la bours of treasure-seekers. When the Mogul Princes extended their pretensions to the sovereignty of the Deccan, Kootub Shah, then King of Golconda, was brought into collision with Shah Jehaun, the reign ing Emperor, and father of the great Aur ungz eb e . Kootub Shah's Prime Minister at this period was the famous Meer Jumla, a statesman who to political abilities of unusual excellence added a singular knowledge of precious stones. He had, in fact, been at one time a diamond merchant, and was therefore peculiarly competent to appreciate the treasures of Golconda. It happened, too, that Shah Jehaun him self was a connoisseur of scarcely less skill, inso much that when at a later period he had been dethroned and imprisoned by his father, and a doubt had been created respecting the value of a certain ruby in the Im perial Treasury, the gem was actually trans mitted to the deposed Prince for his inspection and decision. Two such characters were well fitted fur the transaction which ensued. Shah Jehaun took up the cause of Meer Jumla against his Sovereign, and the Koh-i-noor passed from Golcond a t o D e lhi. While the kingdoms of the Deccan were suc cessively absorbed in the culminating dominion of the Moguls, the Koh-i-noor rested among the treasures of Imperial Delhi, where, on the 2d of November, 1665, it was seen by the French traveller Tavernier, who, by the ex traordinary indulgence of Aurungzebe, was permitted to handle, examine, and weigh it, being the first, and till now, probably, the last European who had ever enjoyed such a privilege. The Great Mogul sate on his throne of State, while the chief keeper of the jewels produced his treasures for inspection on two golden dishes. The magnificence of the collection was indescribable, but conspicuous in lustre, es teem, and value was the Koh-i-noor. Sometimes worn on the person of the Moguls, sometimes adorning the famous peacock throne, this in estimable gem was safely preserved at Delhi until, in 1739, the empire received the fatal blow from the invasion of Nadir Shah. Among the spoils of conquest which. the Persian warrior carried back with him in triumph to Khorassan, and which have been variously estimated as worth from 30 to 90 millions sterling, the Koh-i-noor was the most precious trophy but it was destined to pass from Persia as quickly as that ephemeral supremacy in virtue of which it had been acquired. Nadir Shah had entertained in his service a body of Affghans of the Abdalee tribe under the leadership of Ahmed Shah, who also served his master in the capacity of treasurer, and when the Persian conqueror was assassinated by his subjects, the Affghans, after vainly endeavouring to rescue or avenge him, fought their way to their own frontiers, though only 4,000 strong, through the hosts of the Persian army. In conducting this intrepid retreat Ahmed Shah carried off with him the treasures in his possession, and was probably aided by these means, as well as by his own valour in consolidating the new State which, under the now frmiliar title of :the Doorannee Empire, he speedily created in Cabul. It seemed as if the Koh noo r carried with it the sovereignty of Hindustan, for the conquests of Ahmed were as de cisive as those of Nadir , a nd it was by his nomination andpatronage that the last Emperor ascended the throne of the Moguls. At the beginning of the present cen tury the treasures and power of Ahuseed were vested in the person of Zemaun Shah, subject to the inces sant assaults of his kinsmen. One of these at length proved successful, and in the year 1800 Zemaun Shah found himself a prisoner at the disposal of his brother Shah Shuja, the identical puppet, 40 years later, of our famous Caubul expedition, so that we are now brought down to modern times and characters. Shah Shuja presently ascended the throne of his brother, but the treasury of Caubul was wanting in its most precious ornament, till at length, ingeniously secreted in the wall of Zemaun Shah's prison, was discovered the Koh-i-noor. It was eight years after this, while the Doorannee monarchy was for midable enough to inspire the powers of the East with uneasiness, that Mr. Elphinstone, accredited by Lord Minto to the Affghan Prince, betook himself to what was then the remote and unknown town of Peshawur, where, at his state reception, the Koh-i-noor again flashed, after an interval of so many years, upon the dazzled eyes of a European. Shah Shuja, aiterwards the client and pensioner of the East India C om p an y, was dressed on this occasion in a green ve l ve t tun ic, fitting . closely to his b o dy, an d seame d w ith gold and precious stones. On his breast was a cuirass of diamonds shaped like two flattened fleurs-de-lis, and in a bracelet on his ri g ht arm bl aze d th e price less jewel of Golconda. The Prince gave a gracious audience to the Ambassador, and Mr. Elphinstone retired, but the Koh-i-no or was no t f a ted long to continue in the divided and tottering family of the once powerful Abdallees. The embassy had scarcely recrossed the Indus when Shah Shuja was expelled from Caubul, though he con trived to make this far-f ame d di amon d th e com panion of his flight. After many vicissitudes of exile and contest he at length found an equivocal refuge under the protection of that powerful chieftain who bad now consolidated the domi n i ons d f t h e Sikbs into a royal inheritance for his own family. Runjeet Singh was fully competent either to the defence or the restoration of the fugitive, but he knew or suspected the treasure in hi s possess i on , and hi s mind was bent upon acquiring it. He put the Shah under strict surveillance, and made a formal demand for the jewel. The Doorannee Prince hesitated, prevaricated, temporized, an d emp l o y e d all the artifices of Orintal diplomacy, but in vain. Run jeet redoubled the stringency of his measures, and at length the Ist of June, 1813, was fixed at the day when the great diamond of the Moguls should be surren dered .by the Abdallee Chief to the ascendant dynasty of the Singhs. The two Pri nces me t in a room appointed for the purpose, and took their seats on the ground. A solemn silence then ensued which continued unbroken for an hour. At length Runjeet's impatience overcame the suggestions of Asiatic decorum, and he whispered to an attend ant to quicken the memory of the Shah. The exiled Prince spoke not a word in reply, but gave a signal with his eyes to a eunuch in attendance, who, retiring for a moment, returned with a small roll which he set down upon the carpet midway between the two chiefs. Again a pause followed, when at a sign from Runjeet the roll was unfold d, and there in its mrtchless and unspeakable brilliancy glittered the Koh i-noor. In this waydid the " Mountain of light" pass in the train of conquest and as the emblem of dominion, from Golconda to Delhi, from Delhi to Mushed, from Mushed to Caubul, and from Caubul to Lahore, verifying by the esteem which it j everywhere com manded the perspicacity and egmen . t of Meer i .ehu rsirr a i °ln.

A serious accident, by which two lives were losi and several persons placed in great jeopardy, occurred on Saturday night last on the River Tnames, off the Hungertord Suspension-bridge, on the Surrey side. On the night is question, Mr. William Hawtrey, the elder son of one of the members of the Court of Corn mon Council for Bread street ward, and four other gentlemen, hired a randan skiff of Mrs. Needhaive boatbuilder, at St. Paul's-wharf, for the purpose of proceeding up the river. The five persons having entered the vessel, they steered her some distance up without meeting with any accident, but on arriving near Bennett's-wharf, in the Belvidere•read, they pereeived a steam-boat coming towards them at a rapid pace from Hungerford-market. The persons in the skiff cried to the captain of the steamer to "ease" or "turn astern," but, as the speed of the larger vessel was not diminished, it was imagined that probably her crew were going to moor her for the night in the roads hard by. Uefortunately,ho wever, such was not the case, and the nose of the steamer came violently into col lision with the skiff, so as to cut her gunwale in two, which caused her instantly to fill with water, and the five gentlemen, together with a lad named William Higton, a nephew of the owner of the boat, became immersed. Those who were on the steamboat, having witnessed the occurrence, cried out for assistance, but, owing to the lateness of the night, none of the regular watermen at the various stairs were present to render the sufferers any aid. The steamboat was stopped immediately after the collision, and ropes with life-buoys were thrown out to those struggling in the water, but owing to the darkness of the night, they were unable to lay hold of them ; and, had it not been for the fortunate circumstance of a man named Mackaway, one of Mr. Tomlinson's, the boatbuilder's, men, passing in his wherry, and hearing the screams, the whole six persons must have pe rished. As it was, this man, at the risk of losing his life, by having his own boat pulled over, succeeded in rescuing two of the sufferers, who were in a very exhau,ted state. They were forthwith removed to the Swan 'Lavern, llungerford-market, where every thing was done for them that the nature of their case required. Two others were also saved ; one by swimming to the shore, and the other by clinging to one of the buoys in the river. Mr. Ilawtrey and Mrs. Needham's nephew were both drowned. It is suppos e d that when the steamer struck the s)nall boat they must have received serious i njur ies, as they were never seen to rise afterwards. The drags were instantly procured, and the river was searched for and also the gr ea t er port i on h ours during the night, of yesterday, but up to biz o'clock last evening (Sun day) neither of the bodies had been found. The name of the steam-boat which caused the accident was the Dahlia ' belonging to the London an d West minster Penny Company. The captain defies that he heard any one call, until it was too late to prevent the melancholy catastrophe. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 29.—The Corn-Exchange yester• day morning was thinly at'ended, and the business transacted was only limited. Holders of wheat and flour continue firm, and will not 3 ield in price; the millers, however, take merely what suits their immediate wants. Prime mealing oats are scarce, and id per bushel dearer than on Tuesday. Oatmeal was without alteration. Grinding barley. peas, and Egyptian beans brought fug prices. Yellow Indian corn gave way 6d per quarter , but the value of white was supported. American yellow corn was sold at 27s 6.1 per 4801 b. The weather cog' thanes dry and hot, and some rain will soon be very welcome to the farmer. No change in prices to-day. MANCHESTER, JUNE 29.—We have to report another week of favourable weather for the growing crops, and during the same period the tone of the flour trade hes not undergone the slightest change, the demand for choice fresh qualities, although only moderate, having continued fully equal to the supply. For oatmeal there has been somewhat less inquiry; but for prime oats► which are scarce, the previous currency was maintained. Our market this morning was rather languid. In the value of wheat, however, no alteration was apparent. whilst for fresh made flour holders demanded fully pre' vious rates, which w. re ..brained in the sales s fleeted. Oats must be noted the turn cheaper, and oatmeal. un• less of prime quality, was only seeable on slightly lower to rtes. COLCHESTER, JuNE 29.—The markets of this district bee been scantily supplied during the week, owing in a grea t degree to the farmers being engaged in the hay harvest, for which the weather is peculiarly tavourable, and a large breadth of gra-, has already been hayed and carted in excellent order. Last week's prices of corn have, therefore, been well sustained and in some cases an advance has taken place. In this market j to-day a slight advance was given for the best samples, so u for other sorts the trade was firm. On Friday, at Chelmsford, wheat of good quality realised 1 1 per quarter more, and the rate of the best w hi te w h ea t was well established at 4fis ; red was 34s to 41s. Barley w a s quoted a) , 23s to 2.65; and white peas, at 26s to 28s. In the markets of Suffolk generally late rates have been we ll sustained throughout the week. JUNE DERBY, JUNE 28.—Wheat—The supply was rather !anti; and the demand increased; to purchase best qualities Is Pt quarter mere money had to be submitted to, best whit" making 43s up to 4,4 per quarter ; lour, 305 to 33s per sae' Barley was little asked for, and prices cannot be quoted dearer' Oats were of ready sale, at Is snore money, best reaching 210 per quarter; good farmers' feed, 17s per quarter. Beans"' Best for splitting, 28s per quarter ; ordinary ditto, 241 PI quarter. Peas—Boilers, 235 to 301 per quarter ; grays 0° maples, 265 to 08s per quarter. Seeds as last week. READING, JUNE 29.—Wheat, 30s to 50s ; barley, 200 t° 255 ; oats, 155 to 20s; beans, 28s to 30s ; peas, 27s to 32s Vol quarter. Fat hogs, es Od to 05 Od ; porkers, Os Od to 010 t., per score.
