AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY NIGHT. This evening, at eight o'clock, the British and North American Royal Mail steam-ship Asia, Captain Judkins, arrived in the Mersey from New York dire ct, which place she left on the 18th instant, with the usual mails from the United States and British America, having on board upwards of 150 passengers, and the very large sum in specie of nearly a quarter of million of pounds ster ling on freight. The Asia arrived at New York on her outward run on the 4th instant, at 7.50 A.m.; she passed on the 19th instant at 4.30 A 21., the brigantine Dispatch, and half an-hour later the Royal Mail steam -shi p Niagara. The intended sailing of the North America to Galway has turned out to be a mere Yankee hoax. The intelligence by this arrival is in every respect more important than any that has come to hand for some months past, as the subjoined summary an d accompany ing details will fully exhibit. UNITED STATES. Much damage has been caused on the banks of the Mississippi b y a great overflow of that river. The waters have not risen so high within the last twenty-five years. The Mexican boundary commission, at our latest ad vices from Texas, were still at El Paso and vicinity. The commencement of the survey had been fixed upon the Rio Grande, about twenty-five miles below Dona Ana. The exercise of Lynch law at El Paso is said to be carried to a frightful extent, some fifteen Americans and Mexicans having been hung or shot within the space of two weeks. The crops throughout the greater part of Texas are remarkably promising. The growth of the cotton crop for the past few weeks has been truly sur prising. A telegraphic dispatch fron New Orleans announces the arrival of the steamer Alabama, with news from California to the 15th ult. Another terrible conflagra tion has taken place in San Francisco, destroying a number of public buildings, several whole streets of private dwellings, many of the ships at the wharfs, a nd a large amount of other property, making a total loss of 15,000,000 dolls. It is feared that a number of lives have been lost. Tno city of San Francisco is over whelmed with gloom at this fearful catastrophe, and business of all kinds is suspended. The extra session of the New York Legislature com menced on the 10th inst. Mr. Varnum, of this city, was elected Speaker, in the place of Mr. H. J. Raymond, now absent in Europe. The Governor's message gave an explicit statement of the reasons for enlarging the canals, with a thorough exposition of the constitu tionality of the measure. was received with great satisfaction by the majority of the Legislature. An unofficial statement has been made in regard to the policy of the Secretary of State on Central American affairs, which is supposed to be entitled to credit. It is said that Mr. Webster proposes a joint protectorate with England and France for the security of the Central American states, for the adjustment of questions at issue between each other, and for free action in respect to any line of communication which it might be for the in terest of the commercial world to have constructed be tween the Atlantic and Pacific. A similar proposition with reference to Hayti is also in contemplation. BRITISH AMERICA. The Canadian Legislature is waiting the result of the negotiation between Sir Henry Bulwer and the United States Government in regard to a reciprocity of trade. If this should prove ineffectual measures of a retaliatory character will be submitted to the Parliament. It is proposed to close the Welland Canal against American vessels bound to any port on the lakes, no obstae!e being presented to those which go direct from Lake Erie to the ocean. Mr. Mer ritt h.:is introduced a set of resolutions for a petition to the Queen, praying that England will impose on the productions of foreign countries the same rates of duties that those countries impose on ;the productions of Bri tish colonies. This proposal, though expressed in gene ral terms, of course aims at the United States. Other measures have been suggested on the imposition of duty on foreign grain admitted into England, while colonial produce enters free, and granting Canada the same pro tection which she formerly enjoyed in the British market. It is needless to say these measures receive no support from the Government or the free-trade party, who have no faith in the action of British statesmen for the benefit of Canada. The bargain and sale of Sir Allan M'Nab is fully asserted by the opposition journals, and thus far has not met with a denial. Mr. Mackenzie has announced his intention of bringing in a Bill for the abo lishing of the Court of Chancery, and conferring equity jurisdiction on the common law court, and another for breaking up the monopoly of the legal profession and al lowing every man to plead in the courts. Mr. Stanton, the late collector of Toronto, has been cast in damages to the amount of 4,000 dollars for defalcation in the dis charge of his duty. MEXICO. The latest accounts from Mexico present a highly discouraging view of the political condition of that country. No measure was adopted by Congress, previous to its adjournment, for the relief of the finances. The proposal to endow the President with extraordinary powers in tha: department of the Government was lost by a large majority. An extra session of Congress was to be called in a few days. A short time before the ad journment of Congress, official dispatches were presented to the Chamber of Deputies from the Commandant-Ge neral of Sonora, stating that an expedition was on foot at San Diego for the invasion of Lower California. The intelligence was received with doubt in the city of Mexico; but, in the opinion of the leading journals, the present course of the Government tended to provoke an invasion, which would include Lower California, Sonora, and Tehuantepec. The present relation with the United States, which had been seriously embarrassed by the course of the Legislature and of the press, involved the very existence of the Mexican republic. The arrival of General La Vega at Campeachy, which took place on the 20th ult., was welcomed by the authorities with general enthusiasm. The war had taken a turn in favour of the whites. Colonel Rosado had made a successful excursion into the eastern portion of the peninsula, re ducing a great number of the rebels to subjection. The city of Caruien, which was nearly destroyed by fire on two occasions last year, has suffered another extensive conflagration, which is supposed to have been caused by incendiaries intent on the destruction of the city. WEST INDIES. We have dates from Santa Cruz to the 31st ult. The new governor appointed by the Danish Government was daily expected from Copenhagen. It was supposed that an important change would then be made in the laws concerning the coloured population. A good deal of speculation was called forth as to the manner in which the partial emancipation of the blacks would be effected, as provided by law, atter the lit of October next. A new Roman Catholic Church was consecrated on the 25th ult., with imposing ceremonies, the civil and military officers being in attendance, and a salute fired from the fort. Incessant rains prevailed throughout the whole of May, which will have the effect to retard the manufacture of sugar. The prospects of the coming Year are excellent. SOUTH AMERICA. We have dates from Buenos Ayres to the 19th April, The Argentine Republic was in a state of tranquillity. There wag no news of importance. EUROPEAN AND NORTH AMERICAN RAILWAY. ST. JOHN, Na 3 , j 14.—Messrs. Dickey, Sardine, and Botsford, of i ho lj e N x E e merica c n ut ß iv: committee of the Euro pean and North A a ilway, returned from Port land yesterday, where meeting f was held on Wednes day to complete arrangements en terprise. Tile)' bring gratifying assurance prosecuting the n l 7 o assurance of liberal aid from capitalists of New York, and feel confident that the work will and other place), will be commenced in a very short time. ~S,_T k "UE STEAMER DESTRUCTIVE FINES AT T. LOUIS, AND LOSS OF LIFE—BURNING .b' SULTANA, &c. ST. Louis, JUNE 12.--Fivo buildings in Second street, occupied by Buhler and Barlow, furniture dealers and upholsterers, were destroyed by fire. The loss is 60,000 dolls.—covered by insurance. The steamer Sultana was burned to the water's ed ge at eleven o'clock to-day, and five or six persons are sup posed to be lost. She had a full cargo for New Orleans, being loaded with 50 hhda. bacon and 1,000 bales hemp. The boat was insured for 50,000 dolls-30,000 doll. in the Lexington, Madison, Floating Dock, Columbu3, and Union offices. The fire communicated to the sug tr re finery of Agelrodt, which sustain, , d a loss of 25,000 dolls., which was covered by insurance. The sugar refinery of Mr. Angelly , ck was also de stroyed by fire. The loss is covered by an insurance cf 20,000 dolls. DISASTROUS STORM AND LOSS OF LIFE. CHICAGO, JUNE 16.—A dreadful storm prevailed in Highland Prairie, M‘llenry county, on Friday 111.4. Twenty-five building were blown down, and three per sons killed. TREATY WITH OREGON INDIANS. We learn yesterday at the office of the Commissioner o: Indian Affairs that the Commissioners appointed by the Presi lent of the United States to treat with the In dians in Gregon, west of the Cascade Mountains, for the purchase of their lands, have conducted a treaty with the Santiam band of the Callapooya tribe of Indians, by which they cede to the United States a portion of the Willamette Valley, about 80 miles in len g th an d a b out 20 in width ; and they have likewise concluded a treaty with the Twallatty b a nd of the same tribe, including a county about 50 miles in length and about 20 miles in width. The lands ceded by these treaties are among the most valuable in the Willamette Valley. THE PROFITS OF THE JENNY LIND .CON- CERTS. PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 12.—Mr. Barnum acknow. ledges to a friend who is not given to exaggeration, that he has made 500,000 dolls. by the Jenny Lind concerts, and says that Jenny has realised not less than 350,000 dolls. in this country. The net proceeds of the 94 con certs do not lack ahoie 25,000 of a million dollars. DESTRUCTIVE STORM IN WISCONSIN. A correspondent of the Milwaukee Commercial Adver tiser, of the 9th instant, gives a deplorable account cf a storm which passed over Walworth county on the pre vious Saturday night. He is not very clear as to loca lities, but speaks of the swelling of Duck Lake, and con sequent damage of the canal. A house on Duck Creek was blown from its foundation, and turned topsey-turvey —the inmates, with the exception of one female, having previously rushed out; she was badly crushed among the falling timbers. The house of P. Brown, near the head of the lake, was blown some nine rods from its foundation. Mr. Brown, wife, and two ohildren, and a young man, were in the THE house at the time. All except tho children were much injured, but, it is thought, not dangerously. In one place, on Bloom Prairie, about 20 acres of meadow land were reft from the subsoil to the depth of three feet, by the rushing water, and deposited in un couth masses some distance below. Many other instances of a similar character, but less in magnitude, have been reported. So far as is now heard from, not a bridge or dam remains—everything is swept clean. THE STEAM-SHIP NORTH AMERICA. For the last three weeks it has been advertised that this steamer would sail from this port direct for Gal way, Ireland, on the 17th of June. In commemoration of the new enterprise an Irish flag was presented to her captain by a wealthy gentleman, and much gratification was expressed by our Irish citizens at the prospect of a direct steam communication with their native country. But, notwithstanding these preparations, the North America did not sail as advertised, and it was announced yesterday that she had been sold. She had steam up, and feel and provisions for the voyage, and her passen gers were coming on board, when they were informed that her destination had been changed. Of course there was much excitement among those who were on board, and the crowd that had gathered to witness the depar ture of the steamer, and many threats were made against her and her owners; but we believe nothing serious oc curred. It was the intention of those who controlled her to dispatch her as advertised; but at eleven o'clock yes terday they received an offer to purchase her from Cor nelius Vanderbilt, which they concluded to accept, as they had engaged but few passengers for the excursion to Galway. These were offered tickets for the Pacific on Saturday, and we believe this arrangement was gene rally satisfactory. It is understood that the North America has been purchased for the purpose of being placed on the route from San Francisco to Realejo, in connexion with the Prometheus on this side. She will leave here for the Pacific in a few days. The three iron steamers to run on Lake Nicaragua have already been dispatched to San Juan de Nicaragua, and will be ready for use in a short time. IMMIGRATION.—The following vessels have arrived at this port during the past 48 hours:—The ship Guy Man nering, from Liverpool, with 814 passengers; ship Mon tezuma, from Liverpool, 400; ship Oliva, from Liver pool, 320; ship Meridian, from Liverpool, 685 ; ship Compromise, from Liverpool, 339; ship St. Hilda, from Liverpool, 311; ship Rappahannock, from Liverpool, 594; barquo Richard Cobden, from Bremen, 192; barque Mozambique, from Rotterdam, 174; barque Packet, from Antwerp, 161; brig Sanset, from Bremen, 99. Total, 4,089. COMMERCIAL SUMMARY. The market for sound stocks has been firm since the last steamer, with a fair demand for Government and State Stocks for foreign account. In exchanges there is not much doing, but the market is very firm. Sterling 101 to 104. Francs 5081 to 507 i. Amsterdam, 414 to 41k. Bremen, 79 to 79;. Hamburgh, 36i to 36k. There is no change to notice in the Money•market, excepting an increasing activity and firmness of rates. The amount received at the sub• Treasury was dolls. 71,157; paid, dolls. 144,040; balance, dolls. 2,565,742. Freights are firm for breadstuffs but dull for cotton. The dry goods market is exceedingly quiet. The country demand is in abeyance, and that in the city is confined to the wants of clothiers, and to a shipping in quiry for the East Indies and South America. Stocks are heavy. Ashes—The market is steady. with a fair demand; sales of 150 barrels at dolls. 5 for pots, and dolls. 5 50 for pearls. Cotton—Since the last steamer the cotton market has been inactive, with sales of SQO to 1,200 bales per day. On Wednesday the market recovered ic. per lb., but has since been languishing. The accounts from the south show no new feature. Flour and Meal—There is increased heaviness in our market for the lower grades of State and western flour, and prices ere lower, especially for western, which is offered freely and is pressed on the market. The de mand for export and the trade is moderate, and the re ceipts are still large, far in excess of the demand. There is still some speculative inquiry for desirable lots. Grain—There is a limited demand for domestic wheat for milling, and prices still tend downward. There is some inquiry for Canadia❑ for export checked only by the absence of freights. We have only to notice a sale of 3,000 bushels good mixed Canadian, at 9c. in bond. Rye is not plentiful, and is in fair demand at bet ter prices. SHIP NEWS. NOTICE TO MARINERS. ZELATING TO A. ROCKY SHOAL IN THE FAIRWAY OF THE ENTRANCE OP THE HARBOUR ON ST. THOMAS. Admiralty, June 24. Sir,—My Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty having received from Lieutenant Lawrence, commanding her Majesty's surveying vessel Scorpion, a report of an important rocky shoal in the Fairway of the entrance of the harbour of St. Thomas, in .the West Indies, I am commanded by their Lordships to send you herewith a espy of the said report for the information of the com mittee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's. W. A. B. ILI.3uLToN. Captain G. A. Halsted, R.N., Secretary, Lloyd's. ORHOLN Rocs. Extract of a letter from Lieutenant Lawrence to the Hydrographer:— " During the;ccurse of our operations we'have very un expectedly come across a coral shoal at the entrance of the harbour, having only 20i feet of water on it at low tides. It stands directly in the Fairway, and is a danger' of some consequence. The shallowest part of the shoal extends in about a north and south direction from 80 to 100 feet, and east and west from 30 to 40 feet. It ap pears to be of coral formation, and full of inequalities, from the lead dropping off the surface of the rocks into 5 and 5i fathoms. Beyond the nucleus of the shoal the coral extends 60 fathoms to the westward, with depths of from 26 to 28 feet, and about 40 to the eastward, having 28 to 30 feet, and, occasionally, 34 feet. The sur rounding ground is composed of sand and rock, with a depth of 37 feet on the north edge, and from 37 t 039 feet on the south." To AVOID IT. " The highest part of Prince Robert's Rock on with the portico of Fredericksberg- house, N. E., clears it to the eastward, and the Outer Green Coy on with the ex tremity of the point, on which Muhlenfel's battery is situated, clears it to the northward."

The Earl of RODEN presented several petitions against Papal aggression; also several petitions from places in the north of Ireland, praying that Scripture schools might have a share of the Government grant; also several petitions against the grant to Maynooth, and a petition against the abolition of the Lord-Lieutenancy of Ireland. The Bishop of ST. ASAPH presented a petition from the London Hospital against the Charitable Trusts Bill. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. The Earl of MALMESBURY, on behalf of his Noble Friend Lord Stanley, postponed the motion of which he had given notice on this subject, and which stood for this evening. ABD-EL-KADER. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY rose, pursuant to notice, to put a question to her Majesty's Government, if they knew of any communication having been had between the French Government and the Government of the Porte respecting the continued imprisonment of Abd-el-Kader. He had seen with great satisfaction that the British Go vernment was on better terms with foreign Governments than it was this time last year, and he was glad to find that the entente cordiale between this country and France had not diminished under the rule of that wise and ju dicious Prince who was now President of that Republic, and who, he could not but believe, would receive any intercession of ours on behalf his captive would be favourably received. He had had a correspondence with the President on the subject, and he felt that the moral dignity of the House of Lords exercised great power throughout Europe, and he was certain that any representation they might make would produce great effect. (The Noble Marquis then proceeded to read extracts from his correspondence with the President of the French Republic on the subject of the captivity of Alyl-el-Kader.) He considered that, from the expressions made use of in the correspondence, the President was favourably disposed towards the liberation of Abd-el-Kader, and that any repre sentation from the Government of this country could not but strengthen him in his resolve. The Noble Marquis concluded by putting the question of which he had given notice, and also asked if the Go vernment would give intimations to the Ambassadors in France and Constantinople, to use t heir exertions to pro vide a less restrictive domicile for Abd-el-Kader. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that her Ma jesty's Government had received no communication from the French Government on the subject of Abd-el-Kader, and that we had no right to interfere in the matter. How ever much he might individually feel for the sufferings of such a great warrior as A bd-el-Kader, however satisfac tory it might be to hint to learn that that eminent warrior had been released, or that his sufferings had been mitigated, yet he felt that as a Government we had no right whatever to interfere. Lord BROUGHAM said, nothing could be more gratifying than the statement of the Noble Marquis re lating to this unpreeederited passage in the history of modern times. He did not blame the present head of the French Government or his illustrious predecessor; but he blamed the public opinion in France, which in this respect was anything but sound or creditable to the nation. PRIVATE BILLS. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE,severaI private Bills were forwarded a stage. PETITIONS. Lord BROUGHAM presented several petitions in favour of the County Courts Bill. CLINIBING BOYS. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY asked if the Govern ment intended to prosecute the person who had, accord ing to a statement which appeared in one of the Leeds journals, forced a climbing boy to ascend a flue in the city, in which the boy was smothered? The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the Govern ment had received no official information en the subject, but be would cause inquiry to be made into the circum stances of the case. Their Lordships then. adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. NEFW MEMBER. Captain SCORELL took the oaths and This; seat for Bath. The Hon. and Gallant Gentleman was introduced by Lord Duncan and M r. Pinney. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The following Bills w ere considered and agreed to:-- Cameron's Coalbrook Steam Coal and Swansea and Loughor Imperial Continental Gas Association. St. Bartholomew's Hospital Estate. St. Pancras (Middlesex) Paving. Jackson's Estate Bill and Lethbridge's Estate Bill were read a second time, and ordered to be committed. PETITIONS. Sir JAMES DUKE presented a petition from the city of London in favour of the Chancery Bill. Mr. ANSTEY presented a petition from the ship. owners of Youghal, praying for a revision of the exist ing navigation-laws. Mr. CHRISTOPHER presented a petition from the trustees of a charitable, trust in the county of Lincoln, praying for a reform in the proceedings of the Court of Chancery. Sir R. H. INGLIS presented a petition from the ministers and elders of the Church of Scotland of the Presbytery of Glasgow, as we understood, against the admission of Jews into Parliament. Mr. WILCOX presented; a petition from the chemists of Southampton in favour of the Pharmaceutical Bill. Mr. LACY presented a similar petition from a place in Surrey. Mr. S. CRAWFORD presented a similar petition from Rochdale. Sir B. HALL presented similar petitions from Mary. lebone. Mr. AGLIONBY resented a petition from the cor poration of Carlisle, playing for an alteration in the grand jury system. Mr. MOWATT presented a petition from the inhabi tants of the parish of St. Anne's, Westminster, praying the House not to sanctio n any measure for the supply of water to the metropolis; which did not place the ma nagers under the control of the ratepayers. The Marquis of GR A.NBY presented a petition from the attorneys and solicitors of a place in Leicestershire, praying for the repeal of the certificate duty. Mr. COWAN presented a petition, from Glasgow in favour of the Public 'douses (Scotland) Bill. _ _ Mr. .IIUME' presented a petition from the spirit dealers of Paisley against the Bill. Mr. B. OSBORNE presented a petition from Totten. ham against the Health of Towns Bill. MAYNOOTH.—BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. Mr. ANSTEY wished to call the attention of the House to a matter which concerned the privileges of the House; but before he founded any motion on the sub jeot he would move that a certain passage in last Satur day's Freeman's Journal be read by the clerk at the table. (This was done; the passage was a resolution passed at the Maynooth board contradicting a statement of the Hon. and Learned Member to the effect that for years past there had not been an annual assembly of the board at which a motion was not made against the Maynooth grant.) The Hon. and Learned Member then moved that Mr. Duffy, the printer and publisher of the paper, be called to the bar of the House. The House, he said, would observe that the resolution contained in the paper was a formal but not a substantial contradiction of what he stated in the House the other night. He never said that a motion had been made against the grant. What he did say was, that Dr. M'Hale had introduced a project to the board for the formation of a Roman Ca tholic University, to be supported by voluntary contri butions and a tax upon the different Roman Catholic benefices, which would make it possible for the college to refuse to apply any longer for the usual grant from Parliament. He would not press the motion to a division, as he had merely made it for the purpose of having en opportunity of giving that explanation to the House. r ae motion not having been seconded, then fell to the ground. POOR-LAW (IRELAND). Mr. G. A. HAMILTON asked the Chief Secretary ears (Leland), for the year C o mmissioners 1 ' 0 2o r m l im r n e i l s a st n ih d whyoen,the important tabl es , num b ere d 2 t o a ppendices to the report of the Poor-law 1849, and in their previous reports, containing statements of the financial condition of each union, with the receipts and payments in detail, had been omitted in the fourth report, recently presented? Sir W. SOMERVILLE was understood to say that the omission had arisen from the circumstance of the IRISH CENSUS. boundaries of the unions having , been changed. Colonel DUNNE naked the Secretary for Ireland why the census returns for that country were not pub lished; those for England being already given in the public papers, and it being stated that those for Ireland were in tho hands of the Lord-Lieutenant? MONDAY EVENING, JUNE so, 1851. Sir W. SOMERVILLE said he supposed the reason of the delay was that all the returns had not yet been received from Ireland; probably all the returns would be made by to-morrow or next day. POSTAGE OF LETTERS TO FRANCE. Mr. HUME gave notice that to-morrow he would ask whether any measures were in progress by the Govern ment for reducing the enormous charge now made for postage on letters sent to France. TRANSPORTATION TO VAN DIEMEN'S LAND. In reply to Sir W. MOLESWORTH, Mr. HAWES was understood to say that a vessel had been sent to Van Diemen's Land with 300 convicts. HINDOO SACRIFICES. In reply to a question from Sir R. H. INGLIS, Mr. WILSON said that a Bill was just on the point of being passed by the Council of India which would prevent the continuance of self-sacrifice to the idol of Juggernaut practised by Hindoo devotees. THE, NEW HOUSE OF COMMONS. Sir E. BUXTON put a question to the Noble Lord at the head of the Woods and Forests, when it was in tended to occupy the new House of Commons, and whether there was any intention of pulling down the present Howe before it was ascertained that the new House would accommodate the Members? Lord SEMOUR said that he had nothing to do with the new Hotses of Parliament, and therefore could not give the desired information. He had never heard of any intention of pulling down the present House. JEWISH DISABILITIES BILL. In answer to a question from Sir B. HALL, Lord J. RUSSELL said that he certainly meant to proceed with the third reading of this Bill on Thursday next, as the first order of the day. TRANSATLANTIC PACKET STATION. It was za! ural enough that in Irelfted groat hopes should have been built upon the idea that Galway was to be converted into the port for steam communication between this country and the United States. We grieve that we are compelled by the force of facts to come to the conclusion that the idea can never be seriously en tertained by the Government or the people of this country. The whole subject has been thor.aighly sifted by a body of Commissioners, who have just presented an elaborate yet carefully digested report to the House of Lords. These gentlemen do not, "on a careful review of the arguments that have been advanced, consider them as sufficient to justify them in recom mending the proposed change." They seem to have dis played a laudable anxiety to consider the subject with every possible reference to the interests of Ireland, and they have stated the result of their deliberations so clearly as to leave the unthinking advocates of change without reply. It must be remembered that this is not a case in which we can afford to make a mistake. There is a line of mail packets belonging to a firm in the United States which at present perform the journey between Liverpool and New York. If by any error in judgment we were to transfer the service of our own—the Cunard line—from Liverpool to Galway, the result is, not that we should succeed in forcing the traffic across Ireland, but simply that we should transfer it to the United States' steamers. The mer chants of England and Scotland have set their faces against the proposed change. The Chambers of Com merce of Manchester and Glasgow, and many eminent firms at Birmingham and Leeds, engaged in the North American trade, have expressed their strong opinion of the injurious results of any such alteration of the present system. For heavy goods the transit across Ireland is entirely out of the ques tion. The point must simply be considered with reference to the passenger traffic and the very lightest description of goods. " Even with regard to passengers, it is stated that increased expedition and reduced length of sea voyage would not generally com pensate, in the opinion of the parties above named, for the frequent changes and delays which the new route would involve." The Commissioners declare that they entirely concur with this opinion, and present the House with a set of carefully pre pared calculations. The result of these is, that the saving of time which would be gained by the adoption as a packet station of that one of the Irish ports which is most favourably situated would be under ten hours in a transit of nearly eleven days. Now, on the whole, is it worth while to run so great a risk for so slight a gain —if, indeed, the term can be employed without abuse of language? Is it a " gain" to save ten hours when the alternative is so motley a commencement or termination of so long a journey? Even for those per sons who are most subject to inconvenience from a sea voyage, is it not better to have one than two agonies? Is it not some little consolation, in the midst of their mi series, that they may retain undisturbed possession of the berth into which they may have rolled at Liverpool until the steamer shall have arrived at New York? _ _ There are many ports in Ireland which have contended for the honour of the Transatlantic Packet Station. The pretensions of Cork, Long Island Sound, Bere-haven, Crook-haven, Dunmanus-bay, Valentia, Galway, Foynes, and Tarbert (river Shannon), are in turn discussed by the Commissioners. It would appear, on the whole, as though the palm lay with Galway-, although that station is nut without very many draw backs and disadvantages which do not seem to have oc curred to the vivacious imaginations of our Irish fellow subjects. The Bay of Galway is certainly free from in jurious tidal influences, but the roadstead which must be used by the packets is 25 miles distant from those islands which guard the bay, and dues not offer any suitable shelter for Transatlantic packets such as would enable them to land passengers or take in coal. When the heavy gales from the W.S.W. are blowing, or the heavy Atlantic sea comes rolling in, the situation of vessels of any sine which might be lying in Galway roads would be precarious indeed. We should add that though the difficulty might be obviated by the erection of a break water and other works at a heavy expense, even so the objections to Galway are not at an end. The navigation of the west coast of Ireland is stated by the naval officers examined to be very dangerous, especially in winter. " The coast from Misen-bead, round to Galway-bay, is, in nautical language, steep-to,' there being ICO fathoms water at 18 or 20 miles off its outlying dangers. It is also subject to fogs and hazy weather and to fre quent heavy gales of wind blowing towards a lee shore, with high Atlantic seas and very un certain soundings." Cork is the freest of all the Irish ports from these drawbacks; but then the difference in the length of voyage to New Yurk, whether from Holy head direct, or round by rail from Dublin to Cork, is so infinitely small as not to deserve account. Cork, which, nautically speaking, presents the greatest advantages, is that one of the Irish ports which offers the slightest amount of acceleration—Valentia the greatest. The adoption of the last named station is, however, rendered quite impracticable by the dangerous nature of its en trances and approaches. When we turn to the other arguments that have been used throughout the discussion in favour of the Irish ports, we find none to be of sufficient weight to counterbalance the positive evils arising from trans-shipment—none which are not fairly set aside in the report of the Commissioners. It was stated, for example, that fares would be reduced in consequence or the lower rate of insurance on vessels sailing between the west coast of Ireland and the seaboard of the United States. The statement upon investigation turns out to be a mis take. The insurance is not less than upon vessels sailing between Liverpool and New York. Again, it was said that the convenience of emigrants would be consulted by the proposed change. Who ever heard yet of Irish emigrants going out in a first-class steamer? It costs them infinite pains to scrape together wherewithal to pay steerage fare by a sailing ship of an inferior class. Then, again, considerable stress has been laid upon the advantages that would result from electric commu nication, supposing the steamers to take their departure from Galway, and supposing that a continuous line of electro- telegraphic communication existed between Holyhead and the Irish coast. The last or these conditions has not yet been realised, and the first probably never will. The Commissioners reserve one of their most potent arguments for the conclusion of their report. At present the Government pays Messrs. Cunard and Co. 145,0001. annually for the conveyance of the mails to and from North America. " Should it, how ever, be found that the removal of the mail packets to an Irish port materially diminished the amount of traffic conducted by means of their vessels, the result would be a corresponding diminution of profits to the proprietors, and the necessity for a proportionate increase in the amount paid for, their contract." On the whole we re commend a dispassionate and careful perusal of this very able report to all persons who may be interested in the point at issue. They must be singularly blind to evi dence if they do not concur with the conclusion of the Commissioners, that any transference of the mail ser- vice to an Irish port would be neither politic nor safe. We should not benefit Ireland to any considerable ex tent, at the same time that we inflicted a very wanton injury upon that portion of her Majesty's subjects who reside and carry on their business in Great Britain. A saving of ten hours in a transit of eleven days is not worth so considerable a risk and so certain an incon venience.—Times. by Flaxman; two other pieces of flesh, in Mr. Reynol d's fieid, near the Neilesdon-road, by William Carter; eneeher piece of flesh, in the same place, by Marein Cory; a piece of flesh in the hedge near the windmill, by Robert Self; also a Piece of flesh in each of the fol lowing places:—Near Mr. Brown's farm, by Charles Davison; near Mr. Reynold's mill, without St. Augus tine's Gates. by Henry Cubitt; in the hedge near the mill, and in Brown's field, by Charles Davison. The search was continued on Wednesday. A number of the police were employed to drag the river from Trowse Mills upwards to Lakenham as it was though that the party who committed this diabolical crime might have thrown a portion of it into the river.. Nothing, however, was discovered. Another party of the police, together with several labourers, were em ployed in searching those localities where there was the least probability of any portion of the body being con (*elec. Daring the day the following pieces of human flesh were found, and brought to the station-house :—Five pieces of human illesh were discovered in a field a little past Mr. Reynold's mill, by three men named William Neave, Robert Leach, and Robert Burrow; a tibia or shin bone, in Mr. Shotger's field, by a young man named George Chapman: three more pieces in a field belong ing to Mr. Gowing, situate next to that of Mr. Rey nolds's, by Robert Dewing and Mott Bales, and in another field adjoining Reynolds's mill, by Charles Johnson. The only other portions found this day were a piece of flesh, by a young man named John Stone, in the field next Mr. Reynolds's mill; and another piece in a field belonging to Mr. Curtis, by Robert Bowing. These pieces were generally about the size of a man's hand, and had been mostly cut from the surface of the body. They consisted nearly wholly of portions of skin and thin layers of lesh or muscle. A portion of the patella was attached to one of the pieces, and the sciatic nerve to another. Notwithstanding that they had been found at so many different places, and in spots a con siderable distance apart, they were found to join when tried, thus proving that they all belonged to one body. From this it would seem that the body has been cut into pieces some time after death, and that the author of this atrocity has endeavoured to get rid of it by deposit ing small portions in different localities at various periods. This supposition is considerably strengthened by a discovery which was made on Thursday. As Robert Dewing was searching in Philadelphia that morning, he found a piece of human flesh inside a fence. Mr. Yarington is confident that this place was closely searched on the previous day; and if the statement of Dewing be correct—and there is no reason to doubt it —it shows that the guilty party had deposited this piece of flesh so recently as Wednesday night. This day a shirt, which had been found on Mousehold-heath, much smeared with blood, was delivered to Mr. Yarington. - On Thursday morning the search was resumed, the au thorities manifesting the utmost anxiety to adopt every means likely to throw any light upon this most mys terious occurrence. A number of the police were di rected to drag the river from the New Mills to Trowse, whilst others were directed to continue the search on land. At eleven o'clock the Mayor, P. J. Money, J. H. Car nard, A. Towler, and J. Betts, Esqs., met in the Guild hall, for the purpose of hearing the evidence of the sur geons, Mr. Nichols, Mr. Norgate, and Mr. Donald Dalrymple, to whom had been shown the various human remains as they had been found, and who, at the same time, proceeded to make a careful examination of the parts. The inspection lasted about an hour, and the at expiration of that time the ine.iical gentlemen entered the Sword Room, when Mr. Peter Nichols deposed—On Saturday last, the 21st day of June instant., I was shown the right hand of a human body by police-constable Daniels. I took charge of it. On the Sunday following, and also on the Monday, several additional portions of a human body were brought under my notice at the station-house. I then, with Mr. Norgate, made a careful examination of them, and we were of opinion that they were bones anti ether parts of an adult female. On the 25th and 26th days of June instant, additional portions were brought tinder my notice, and this day I have, conj , ,intly with Mr. Norgate and Mr. Donald Dal rymple, made another careful examination of the various parts which were brought before us, namely, several portions of the dorsal and lumbar vertebrae, the right os innominatum, the scrum, a portion of the left os temo rio, the right tibia and fibula, the left fibula, the right hand, the right toot, a portion of the right humerus, one patella, various portions of muscle and skin, and one portion of the intestines; and I am of opinion that they are human remains—that they are the bones of a young adult female. From the general appearance of the flesh it is my opinion that there is evidence of youth and health at the time of death. Some portions of the re mains appear to have :been immersed in some fluid. This appears to be the case with the foot, the hand, and the part of the pelvis and spine. The portions found in the different localities indubitably belong to the same person. I consider the individual, of whose remains these are a part, may have been dead a fortnight, or per haps longer. Mr. Norgato and Mr. Dalrymple confirmed this state ment. During the week several persons who have lately lost relatives have called at the station-house to ascertoin if they could identify the remains, but no clue has yet been found.—Norwich Mei curl/.

MANCHESTER, JUNE 28.—Supplies from Ireland and our own coast at Liverpool and Runcorn continue to come forward very sparingly, but from abroad the imports of wheat and flour are on a liberal scale, and fair of Indian corn. At our market this morning a very inactive feeling prevailed, and few trans actions occurred in any article. Some slight concession in prices would generally have been made, had buyers appeared, but in the absence of business we repeat (almost nominally) the auotations of this day se'nnight. Al Ipswich wheat was Is higher. At Woodbrioge fresh samples made as much as 2s per quar ter over the last quotations, and found a ready sale. On Thursday, at Stowmarket, the farmers stood out for higher rates, and little business was done. WORCE6TER, JUNE 23.—Best samples of English white wheat must be quoted at 17s tid per bag, and best red 16s 6d; second qualities 15s 6d to 16s 6d. Malting Barley 3s 6d per bushel, and distilling, 3s to 3s 4d. For English beans, 4s 6d per bushel was readily obtainable, and for foreign 3s 3d. Old English oats, 3s 6d to 3s $d per 391 b ; new, 3s to os 4d ; and Irish, 2s 8d to 10d. Peas, 4s 4d to 4s 6sl per bushel. The growing crops of w h eat look most promising, the present hot weather being to their advantage. At Stourbridge market on Friday business was flat, millers declining to purchase at the late advance, and the farmers being reluctant to make any concession. A very limited amount of business was the result. In wheat the rates of last week were hardly sustained. Nothing doing in barley. Beans and oats firm, at former rates. At Stratford on Avon on Friday, the supply of wheat was short. Trade ruled dull, and only best samples brought last week's rates. Secondary qualities of wheat declined in value, and raillers only bought for present necessity. In barley, on the contrary, there was an improvement, and a better inquiry. Good grinding barley, 25s to 285 per quarter. Oats and beans unaltered, and few on offer. Beans must be quoted at an ave. rage of 33s 6d per quarter. At Wolverhampton millers were unwilling to purchase at late rates, and business was dull for wheat, at the nominal prices of last week. Malting barley held for full prices. Eng lish beans firm, at 13s per bag for old, 12s for new, and 12s to 12s 6d for French old. Oats in moderate request; English, 26s to 28s per quarter. NOTTINGHA)I, JUNE 23.—With a small supply of fresh wheat and splendid weather, we have had a very slow trade, yet good qualities could not be bought lower than last week; rather less money would have been taken for inferior sorts. In grinding barley, beans and oats, there was no alteration, and but little doing.

DUBLIN, JUNE 27.—We have not to report any alteration in the currencies of our corn market since Tuesday, but the transactions to-day were very trifling. The fine summer weather had probably some effect in checking business. Less money would have been taken for Indian corn to effect sales.

CORK, JUNE 27. We have had some arrivals of foreign grain since our last, but the sailings have outnumbered them. The receipts of home grain continue very trifling, the supply for the week being only—wheat, 85 brls; barley, 10 brls ; oats, 284 brls. Prices are unchanged. The value of foreign wheat is firmly maintained, but for the reasons already assigned the business passing has been less active and to a smaller extent than that of last week. No stocks of barley are held here. We have not heard of any transactions haying taken place in oats, our quo tations for which we cannot alter from those of last week. Holders still look for prices which purchasers are unwilling to give, and this checks business. As regards flour, the bakers having supplied themselves pretty freely last week, are un willing now to comply with the demands of the millers, who are looking for an advance, and the result is that little or 110 business has been done. As their stocks run short it is evi dent that they must give in to the terms insisted on. Indian corn, with the gladdening prospects before us, and the now near advent of potatoes, in fair supply, and good condition, is very dull of sale, at a further reduction of fully 2s 6d per ton. The advices from abroad respecting the growing crops are on the whole very favourable. In France, however, the wheat crop is represented to be seriously injured by some disease or blight, which fact, on being known at Paris caused an advance on flour of from Os to 7s British per sack. French buyers have been purchasing French four in the London market for re-exportation to their own country. Barrels. Currency.

On the motion for going into Committee on this Bill, Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE presented a petition from a gentleman trading in chicory in favour of the reduction of the duty on chicory. Mr. T. BARING then rose to move, " That it be an in struction to the Committee to make provision forpreventing the mixture of chicory with coffee by the vendors of coffee." He said the late reduction of the duty on coffee had ,naturally acted as a stimulus to the consumption of coffee; but when the public could buy for 4d. per lb. an article which passed for coffee, but in reality was not, they could not expect this consumption to continue. He was ready to admit that chicory was the dearest article, with which coffee was adulterated, for beans, lupins, and mahogany shtivings were much cheaper, but even adultere ate d with this an article could be concocted for 7d. which was called coffee, for which, to obtain pure, the public would have had to pay 103. If persons chose to prefer this mixture, well and good, but this was far different from proclamations by a Govern ment that chicory might pass for the real article of coffee. Ho thought it would be a most improvident sacrifice to rw,ke the repeal of the duty on coffee altogether, but at the, same time that they had reduced the duty, by nut allowing it to be mixed, but even enjoining that it ought to be mixed with coffee they had destroyed the full benefit of that boon. This, however, was not a question of mere fiscal duties, but one of fairness and justise, and involving the prevention of fraud. Let them allow ch3cory to be sold to those who chose to buy, but still he thought they ought not to allow it to be sold for what it was not. It was no answer to say that adulteration had existed before this Treasury minute and would mist after it; but ie was one thing to stamp an act as a fraud and brand it with disgrace and an other to do all in their power to encourage it. They hod not attempted to ccouraga the mixture of sloe leaves wiala tea, and all that he asked was that they should be consistent with themselves, and not endeavour to pass one law for one trade and a different one for another. The country and the Government had but one common interest in this matter, and that was to prevent fraud attd protect the honest trader, as well in the dealer as thee producer, lhe agticulturist as the manufacturer. — (Hear, hear.) That was the rule which ought al ways to guide the Exchequer in its Customs and Excise departments. The public had means otherwise of protecting itself against frauds. In the present instance the rich man might secure himself against adulteration by making large purchases for his own use, bat the poor ma,n, who had an equal right to protection, was not able to lay in any amount of stores. He had to buy what he wanted in a state which should be ready for use, and no extent ofprecaution on the part of the Excisecould prevent the adulteration necessary to defraud him. In spite of the declarations of the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, ho could assure the House, upon the best possible authority, that this Treasury minute had greatly reduced the consumption of coffee. --(Hear, hear.) In 1830 the importations were 22'991,000 pounds; in 1840 they were 28,722,300; and in 1860 they were 41,226,0001 b. In 1846 the duty on West India Coffee was 6d. per pound, on East India 9d., and on foreign ls. 3d.; but in 1850 the duty on East India was 41, and on foreign 6d., showing an increase 6,900,0001 h. when the duty was highest and of only 2,000,0001 b. when there was a reduction of 50 per cent. in the duty of 60 per cent. in bonding charges. Now how came the large discrepancy? Surely it did not arise from any want of trade or a lack of means to consume, because our largo towns and manufaciuring districts had in the latter period enjoyed more than as average share of prosperity. The consumption of to a had increased, it was true, but not in any way disproportionate with the increase in the population, and the state of things presented the extra ordinary anomaly to them, namely, that while tea with its high duty had maintained a gradual increase, the con sumption of coffee, with a large reduction, had seri ously fallen. He could attribute the fall to no other circumstance but the minute permitting the adulteration with chicory. (Hear, hear.) These were the grounds on which he proposed the in- struction to tho — Committee; and this instruction would not have the effect of making them go back to the law which previously prevailed, and prevent grocers from selling chicory, but would allow them to keep it in stock, and only prohibit the sale of chicory under the name of the dearer article. He wished to propose no interference with the trade, and only asked the Government not to become godfather to the illegal christening of chicory and coffee. The great body of grocers in the metropolis were a very respectable class of people, and he con sidered that if the sale of chicory in the way he had mentioned was once declared to be illegal, the practise would at once discontinue among them. Many of them had resisted the temptation for a long time, because they could not reconcile their minds and consciences to the fraud, and it was only when starvation stared them in the face that they found themselves compelled to mix chicory with coffee. The Hon. Member concluded by proposing the motion which is given above. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Hon. Member had acted under the delusion that coffee was the only article adulterated, whereas almost every other article of consumption was in many instances mixed with deleterious ingredients. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) did not think it expedient that the grocers throughout the country should be subjected to Excise interference to prevent their mixing chicory with coffee. Any Government interference in regard to this alleged fraud could only take place on two grounds— either that the article was adulterated with dele terious ingredients prejudicial to the health of the public or that the revenue suffered in consequence of the practices adopted. Now he was in possession of facts, which showed that chicory was not injurious to health, and that its mixture with coffee was actually preferred by a great number of persons. The revenue had suffered to a very inconsi derable extent, if at all, by reducing the duty on coffee; he thought he had adopted the best means of preventing the continuance of the adulteration by chicory. (LEFT SPEAKING ROMANTIC SUICIDE OF A SOLDIER. The Cork Constitution gives the following romantic account of the suicide of a soldier in that city, in the frenay of love Some weeks since a private of the 40th Regiment, named Alfred Winstanley, an Englishman, about twenty eight years of age, who had been in the service about ten years, became acquainted with a young woman named Mary Low, the daughter of a military pen sioner. His proposal of marriage was accepted, with the proviso that he got leave to marry from his com manding officer. This ho was reluctant to ask, for some cause which remains unexplained, and her pa rents, considering it imprudent to sanction the mar riage of their daughter under any other circumstances, determined to conclude the intimacy between her and Winstanley by sending her on a visit to an uncle in London. On Wednesday ho got leave to remain out of barracks until eleven o'clock, and visited Low's house, where he remained until half-past ten. During this time he learned that Mary was to leave Cork the next morning at seven o'clock by the Ajax steamer, for London. He re turned to barracks within his leave, and, after reporting himself, scaled the walls and escaped, and again re turned to Low's, and entreated to be admitted, but was refused, though he threatened, if not, to throw himself into the river. Early the next morning he again endea voured to gain admittance into Low's, but was refused, and eventually left, declaring he would destroy himself. He then went into an adjacent house, and borrowed a breakfast cup. From this ho proceeded to the oil and colour shop of Mr. Dennis Connor, in the North Main-street, where he asked fur half-a-pint of oil of vitriol, for, as he said, removing stains from his cross belts. Having got the vitriol in the cup, ho hurried along Kyrrs-quay to Levitt's-quay, where he met Mary Low with her mother and sisters, on her way to the steam-ship. In a frienzied manner, he asked her if she would deceive him—if she was about to leave him who was so fond of her?' She moved on, and he followed, and holding up',jhe cup said, Mary, you know I love you, and if you don't stop and marry me, this will end my existence. You know I can't live without you, and this must put me out of pain.' Her mother then pushed her from him, when he im mediately drank the vitriol, threw the cup into the river, and leaped several feet from the ground, screaming frightfully. At this moment a private soldier of the 84th Regiment came up, when Winstanley, poitting after Mary Low, said, There—there she is ; she's the cause of it—it is she's to blame." Acting constable Edwards then came up and removed the un fortunate man to the North Infirmary, where he was at ones attended by Dr. Popham and Surgeon Gordon, who administered carbonate of magnesia, and the usual anedotes, but the corrosive effects of the poison were so id.mediate as to render all efforts unavail ing Dr. Haverty, the surgeon of the 40th, sutsequently saw him, and continued with Dr. Popham to attend him until his death, which took place at two o'clock yesterday morning, after indescribable suffering, which he bore with patience. During Thurs day, although writhing with pain, he asked everybody who entered the ward in which he lay, 'ls she coming? for if I get but one glimpse of her it will remove all my rain, and I shall die easy.' Deceased had a medal and star for several engagements in Indio, where ho had served with credit. SUSPECTED MURDER NEAR NORWICH. A murder of a most atrocious description has been discovered during the last week in the neighbourhood of Norwich. The circumstances of the case are as fol low :—On Saturday forenoon last a young man named Charles Johnson, son of a Primitive Methodist preacner, residing at Trowse, accompanied by his dog, passed down what is known as Mrs. Martinau's-lane. This lane extends from Trowse-road to Lakenham, and is of a sequestered character. About two hundred yards within the lane, commencing from Trowse ends, stands a small plantation on the left hand side, and when the youth arrived opposite to this, his dog, which had been running among the trees, sprung .over the hedge to the road with something in his mouth, which his master thought was a bone or a piece of carrion. A stranger, who was passing near, authoratively commanded the dog to "drop it ;" but, instead of doing so, the animal ran home to Trowse. Here it was discovered that the object the dog had found was a hu man hand, and young Johnson, on his return shortly after, was horrified to learn what the dog had brought. lle detailed the circumstances under which the animal had possessed itself of the hand, and it was then taken to the station-house and deposited with the police. A search was immediately instituted by the police, and a number of labourers with dogs, and on Sunday morning a human foot was found about 200 yards further down the lane, in Mr. Jervis's plantation, by two young men, named J. Spruce and T. Dent, and a dog. A portion of the vertebras was also discovered in the same place by Mr. Warner's coachman, and a second portion in a saw pit, not far distant, by Simon Finch. On the same morning a dog with Spruce and Dent found the pelvis. A black striped waistcoat was also discovered concealed in the hedge near where the hand was found, and a quantity of waste cotton, such as is used by mechanics and others in cleansing machinery, the latter being smeared with blood; also part of a roller such as is used by weavers. On Monday the search was continued—the police, assisted by labourers and dogs, minutely examining the hedges and every portion of the ground extending for a considerable distance round the lane. Every heap of manure or rubbish likely to conceal any portions of the body was turned over and inspected. Nothing further, however, was discovered on that day. The mayor and magistrates of the city examined those parts of the remains that had been discovered on Mon day afternoon, The hand, which belonged to the right arm, was firmly closed, the muscles appearing to be con tracted as in the case of a person who had suffered great pain. From the appearance of the skin, it also seemed as it it bad been placed in water. The toes of the foot were likewise contracted. The foot is small and delicate, with a high instep, and from the appearance of it and the hand a person would imagine that they be longed to a girl of fifteen or sixteen years of age. Death, whether natural or by violence, could not have taken place above a fortnight, or three weeks at the utmost, as decomposition had not fully commenced. The ligaments attached,to the joint of the pelvis were perfectly elastic, which would not have been the case had they been severed fur a long period. The . ribs appeared to h ave been sawn from the right side of the vertebra with a saw, in a rough and clumsy manner. On Tuesday the tollowing were found :—A fib u l a , at the lime-kiln, on the H e llesdon,road (distant about two miles from the place where the hand, & c ., were dis covered, on the opposite side of the city), by a man named W. Noller ; a humerus, near Dir. Manning's garden, Lakenham, by police-constable Wooller; another fibula in a field near the Hellescion road, by police-constable Moore; three pieces of human flesh, at the same place, ono of which would probably weigh a potwd, awl the others probably less, - J , ZARRIED.
