A Privy Council was appointed to be held at three o'clock this afternoon, at Buckingham Palace, for the purpose of settling the QUEEN'S Speech on closing the session of Parliament. Most of the Cabinet Ministers were expected to attend the Council. That supreme authority over the character of tLe Legislature, which is periodically confided to the dis cretion of the multitude, entails with it a supreme responsibility. Rashness is culpability, indifference is culpability, not less than dishonesty and corruption, in an elector. For it must be remembered that the proper exerc i se o f j udgment in the selection of e Parliamentary representative is absolutely requisite to ensure permanence and wisdom to the national councils. Under this consideration it becomes obvi ous that the possessors of the elective franchise are in effect the creators and guardians of the House of Commons; li to them is traceable the disposition of our representative assembly, the bias of that assembly, the tendency of its members, its disposition, its mo. rality, its capacity, its subtlety of comprehension, the eloquence of its discussions, the keenness of its per ception, the comprehensiveness of its experience —all are attributable directly and essentially to the people. It is by the people that the character of the House of eonamons is formed ; as emphatically—to use, not Ir reverently, an old scriptural expression—as the clay in h an d s of the potter. I s t h e P ar li amen t one o f distinguished honesty ' It is owing to the popular selecti on . Are its Members competent to de cide upon measures of legislative improvement ? Their capacity ha s been originally detected by the enfranchised people, and their ser vices consequentl y enlistedi n the ca use o f th e entire empire. Whatever may be th e p reva ili ng tone of a Gov ernm ent—whetheayr it of a perni c i ous or a beneficial influence—whether it profligat t e nn in e principle or con sc i ent i ous in practice—that voicestheof the as last has been born from the aggregated electors. This was deplorably manifested in generation, yes, in the la s t generat i on, as well its predecessors : the rotten b oroug h mon geringsy.sn tem impregnated the Commons with a venality and a pervading viciousness most consonant with the cor ruption practised among the pocket constituencies. Now, however, that boroughmongering is almost rendered impracticable, the electors are permitted a better opportunity for evincing at once their inde pendence, their incorruptibility, and their discretion. Their responsibilities are, moreover, enormously in treased. Never, we distinctly affirm it, never has a general el ection app roac h ed under circumstanc s more. calcu lated to afford the const i tuenc i es of the United kingdom a chance of selecting at their pleasure from among the various candidates who will present themselves upon the hustings, the most patriotic and enlightened body of representatives. The opposition which is pre vented I vented to you, Lib era l electors, is either so odious in purpose, or so splintered by divisions, or so contemp tible in its numerical di-proportion, that failure will only he attributable to yourselves. Union —and the day is not only yours, but the seven years are yours. I Combination—and the shadow of Conservatism, or rather Toryism disguised, will be discomfited for ever. The old electioneering war-whoop of " Protection" is forgotten because of the derision cast upon the misnomer. "No Popery "is chosen instead. So be it. That " pudding-headed" cry, as Mr. CARLYLE would call it, that cry so typical cf everything that is obsolete and thoroughly used up, is the symbol of the wretched faction opposed to us. Onward, then, courageously and confidently, and we must inevitably be victorious. - Activity is already visible in a large number of our cities, boroughs, and shires. The electors, with a wholesome providence of time, are bestirring themselves for the struggle which is approaching— which may, in fact, be said to have already arrived. Among these judicious constituencies we are rejoiced to perceive that of the second most populous city in the British empire —Glasgow. Better candidates — candidates more felicitously chosen to contest the re presentation of that great manufacturing city—could not by possibility have appeared than the LORD PROVOST of Glasgow himself; and the eminent, and indeed renowned, political economist Mr. MACGREG on. Both of them are men distinguished by their public services and their singularly practical ability ; both of them are men of unimpeach able integrity, and of assured principles. Mr. MACGREGOR is in a peculiar manner entitled to the consideration of a vast mercantile community like that of Glasgow. His assiduous and enlightened labours as one of the joint secretaries of the Board of Trade—labours extending over a period of fifteen years—labours which have associated him succes sively with the Governments of Lord MELBOURNE, Of Sir ROBERT PEEL, and of Lord JOHN RUSSELL— prove him to be a man skilled in the philosophy of commerce. This fact, moreover, has been blazoned conspicuously in the writings by which he has shOwn himself to be a worthy disciple of the first Apostle of Free Trade-- ADAM SMITH. Mr. MACGREGOR has earned for him self the esteem and the suffrages of the Liberal elec tors of Glasgow ; he is precisely the man qualified to watch over their interests, and over the commercial interest of the whole empire. By sending the LORD PROVOST • and Mr. MACGREGOR to Westminster Glasgow will nobly aid in the advancement of the national cause, and guarantee at least two distin guished Members in the Popular Parliament. We have to call attention to the copy of a petition, in another column, from the unfortunate claimants, for losses by the Danes, which was presented to•the House of Commons, a short time ago, by Mr. 'WAT SON. It seems the height of cruelty to deny redress to these parties, after the repeated decisions in their favour. They did not, however, bring their case more prominently forward this session, on account of the great exertions required to be made to relieve the distress which existed in Ireland and Scotland; but they intend to submit their long sufferings to the new Parliament, which they trust will do them justice. The session could not be permitted to come to a termination, the Legislature could not close its an nual labours without the modern QUIXOTE once more setting his lance in rest, and running another tilt on behalf of the goddess of his idolatry, his adored Pro tection. The chivalrous La blanchan was not more deeply impressed with the glories of knight-errantry, or imbued with greater hostility to the more sober rules of modern justice, which had usurped its place, than is the Noble Representative for Lynn enamoured with the perfections of monopoly, and opposed to the free-trade heresy that has sprung up to its exclusion! No facts are sufficiently strong to repress his ardour. He regards everything through a distorted medium, and colours it according to his own peculiar views. No wonder that he reposes implicit confidence in his own powers, and that he questions clear and (to other minds) convincing deductions with as little doubt or hesitation as that with which the Knight of the Rueful Countenance assailed the innocent windmills. The statement contained in the recent address of Sir R. PEEL to his constituents respecting the financial and commercial policy of the late Government was the giant which the modern mirror of knight-errantry desired to overwhelm in the present instance. Had he suffered it to go forth, without contradiction to the public, that an increase of the Customs duties, by a certain per centage, was not productive of a corresponding increase to the re venue, while a great and general reduction of the se ..141,/1 110 1 e55 Wail ,OZJ,VVVi. sterling was remitted to the people, was attended, in the year 184 G, by a diminution of revenue to the extent of 779,0001. only, and that in the year ending April, 1847, as that policy became more fully developed, and its results came into full operation, that defi ciency had wholly disappeared; and, notwithstanding these enormous boons conferred upon the people, there had actually been an increase in the ordinary revenues of the country derivable from the same sources—it would have a most injurious effect on his doctrines. What arguments could mystify or de ceive a people who had received such tangible be nefits, and bow could he hope that such a majority of his party would be returned at the forthcoming elections as would enable him to seize on the reins of Government, and restore the golden era of mo nopoly in the teeth of such decisive facts ? Some thing must be done, and that speedily, to counteract the effects of that plain and simple statement on the public mind, to restore confidence to hi 3 depressed associates, who were unable to sustain their positions in the face of such truths. The Noble Lord accordingly took advantage of a motion for certain documents, to which no opposition was intended, to enlighten the House and the public by showing, or rather striving to show, that no dependence should be placed on these extraordinary results, and that they were not in any degree owing to the more liberal commercial policy that had been introduced. The reasons by which the Noble Lord attempted to establish his proposition were certainly of no ordinary character. He could not controvert or deny the great fact that the ordinary income of the country was now larger in amount than that which was realized in 1841, before any of these reductions had taken place; but he says—" It is not wholly owing to the reductions, because in the articles with which the tariff of Sir R. PEEL did not interfere there was an increase of revenue within that period of 4,150,0001., for which he can take no credit. The whole of the reductions should be made up by the increased consumption of the articles on which they had taken place, in order to justify the policy, or to show that the improvement in the revenue had been occasioned thereby." Now there never was a more fallacious argument than this, or one more easily overturned. It could not be supposed that the loss of revenue occasioned by the total abolition of any duty (and our readers will hardly require to be reminded of how many ar ticles have been admitted free within the last six years that were previously subjected to heavy import duties) could be replaced- by an increased consump tion thereof, however great it might be ; but the relief thereby afforded to the people, the increased prosperity that followed, enabled them to partake more freely of other comforts or luxuries, and thus to increase . the consumption of those thi ngs on which perhaps no reduction had been made. The principal items on which this increase has taken place will be found to be those chiefly indicative of a more prosperous condition of the working classes. The great improvement has been on tea, tobacco, and snuff, British and Colonial spirits, bricks, paper, soap, land hops. Now these are amongst the chief comforts of the less wealthy portion of the people, and the increase therein i 3 asily accounted for. The re mission of duties to the extent of 7,500,000/. sterling saved aml,ooucho,loaoorgle.rssttv„ltgo ( the public, amounting to nearly l occasion). This enormoussaasywin e e proved on a former a p e li t c i a v b it l y e t i o n o tr th ad er e and u : more general g ra , l thus employment made ap p of a, occasio ne d a muc h greater the people, who had thus larger sums to spare for the purchase of other articles, and these were on which a t n h d in t g h s ey i n t urn led naturally applied t o th ose, their comforts chiefly depend e d to others ; thus tea was at once the most obvious article to be thus increased, and we find the revenue thereon improve d fully 2.5 per ce n t., or nearly 1,200,0001. This again would lead to a correspond ing increase in the sugar duties, for w hi ch Sir ROBERT was entitled to more credit th an (in PEEL his anxiety to remove any topic of controversy) he had claimed. The other points are susceptible of a similar explanation, and we do not think the Noble Lord will succeed in shaking the faith of the country Yak SUN', y LONDON, TRURSDAY y EVE-NINC;, in the free-trade policy. It is now too firmly estab lished, and has borne too well the several te.ts" to which it has been suhjected, to b 2 in any degree injured by such puny attacks or flimsy argumf nts as those with which it has been assailed by the Protec tionist leader. A supplement of the Quotidiazw of Rome, of the 10th, Confirms the statement of the resignatidn of Cardinal dmi, and of Cardinal FERRETTI, Legate of Pesaro and Urbino, being appointed his successor. The Holy Father had announced to him his no mination in an autograph letter, which contained these words:—" Let your Eminence come then to take this new charge. GoD is with us." Cardinal FERRETTI, who belongs to a noble family of Ancona, is fifty-two years of age. He was very intimate with the POPE before his election to the Pontifical chair, and has made himself remarked both by his firmness and piety in the legation which he governed. He is the brother of the Major FERRETTI who, in the time of NAPOLEON, was considered one of the bravest officers of the Italian army, and who lately refused the Grand Mastership of the Order of Malta. The POPE convoked on the Bth a congregation of Cardinals, to take into consideration the municipal law, and other urgent measures. Madrid papers of the 16th have arrived. The Faro, the organ of the Afrancesadoes, waxes virtuously indignant at the speech of Lord PAL. MERSTON on the non-payment of her debts by Spain, and, after the manner of all dishonest and shame lessly fraudulent debtors when threatened with " ulterior proceedings," bullies and swaggers : " Spain (says the Faro) will pay England what she owes her, not from any fear of her fanfaronnades, but because she is anxious to fulfil obligations she has not contracted in vain. We shall add that the British Go vernment, notwithstanding its power, is not at liberty to take possession of Cuba and Porto Rico whenever it suits its purpose, and we do not anticipate that it will be able in future to strike the bold blows which Lord Palmerston so emphatically announced at the close of his speech. To-day even, the English Government confuses that, if it interfered in the affairs of Portugal, it w 2.8 because it feared that Spain would interfere alone." It is all very well for these Afrancesado gentlemen to say " Spain will pay England what she owes her," but it would be better if they would tell us in what year of our LORD all this is to happen. The Correo, the organ of SALAMANCA, is dull and pompous, as becomes a Ministerial organ, but not one whit more honest than the Faro. " Base is the slave that pays," should be the motto of the Ministers of Spain, as it was of ancient PISTOL, but the day will come when, like PISTOL, these gentlemen will, not withstanding all their swagger, quietly eat their leek, and it is by no means improbable that Lord PALMERS• TON may be their FLUELLEN. The QUEEN, • who will remain at La Granja until the end of August, pardoned two Carlist pri soners of the band of the Estudiente. The pardon however, came too late, the poor fellows having been shot at Burgos before its arrival. The Correo states that a new protocol has been signed at Lisbon, in accordance with the provisions of which the English Marines have given up the Castle of Foz, at Oporto, to the Spanish. The Duke of SOTOMAYOR has published a letter denying the accusations made against his Ministry, of having fomented the differences between the KING and QUEEN. MADRID BOLSA, JULY 14.—The Three per Cents, were done at 27 for cash; the Five per Cents. at 17k; the Debt without interest, at 54; and the Coupons at 15, 'We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The -National says— "A rumour, which was generally credited, was circu lated at the Chamber yesterday, namely, that Marshal Soult, having again sent in his resignation, the Council of Ministers deliberated on it, and the offer was accepted. A letter, it was rumoured, was immediately written to Marshal Bugeaud, to offer him the portfolio of War, and it was almost settled that M. Guizot should assume the place of President of the Council. It appears certain that M. Cunin Gridaine has expressed, in tome! terms, his intention to withdraw, and that he is to be replaced after the session, by M. Muret de Bort." It is said that the resignation of M. CUNIN Gas- DAINE is owing to the discovery made by the Presse that Messrs. CUNIN GamalNE and Son, of Sedan, had been dabbling in Northern Railroad shares. The appointment of Marshal BUGEAUD is significant. It is a prelude not only to the break up of the Ministry, but to a coup d'etat. One of the first acts of Marshal if it be possibible to excite the opposition to a display of physical force, the drama which the Marshal has rehearsed in Algeria may perchance be performed in Paris. The trial of M. PELLAPRA, who has surrendered, is o commence on Friday 23d. The Ministry, in consequence of the discovery of ,he corruption of M. TESTE, coming as that discovery did in corroboration of the charges of corruption against other members of the Ministry, has been com pletely deprived of all moral power, as the following scene which occurred during the debate in the Chain • her of Deputies on the Lyons and Paris Railway Bill will show. M. L'HERBETTE, in denouncing the gambling prac tises on the Stock Exchange, said— ‘•Patriotism now-a-days means risking your money, and whether on the Bourse or in the Chamber it was the same thing.—(Exclamations from the Centre.) " The President —I cannot allow the Chamber to be compared to the Stock Exchange.—(Great agitation.) "M. L'Herbette admitted there was some difference. —(Loud cries of Order.) "M. Gamier Pages—Go on, M. L'Herbette. M. L'Herbette—You admit that Deputies may hold shares, and vote in favour of the railway Bill in which they are interested Why do you shrink from the con sequences of your own principle? " M. Blanqui—lt is indecent.—(Uproar.) "M. Gartner Pages—lt is the truth. " M. L'Herbette—l am exercising my right.—(Loud cries of • Order.) " M. Plougolm —Never has the Chamber been com pared to the Bourse. It is scandalous.—(Cries of Assent' from all parts, and Order.') " The President, amidst the uproar, decided that the comparison was disorderly. " M. Lanyer called on the speaker to retract. " M. Gamier Pages called upon him to do no such thing. " The Centre bellowed for retractation. The Left counter bellowed. "M . L'Herbette appealed sarcastically to the virtuous indignation of M. Lanyer. " M. Murat de Bort—We are all indignant. " The Centre in a chorus—Yes, all indignant. " The Left—No, not all. "M. L'Herbette—Then, if you will, I appeal to all, and demand if your virtuous indignation (explosion of dissatisfaction from the Centre)— " Several Voices—lt is an insult—Order, order—and what the reporter 01 the Debats cells interpellations diverses. " The President—l cannot allow the Chamber to be insulted. M. L'Herbette, I call on you to explain. " The Centre—Order, order. " The President—l have already called him to order, and now he is going to make an explanation. " M. de Lavalette—Such expressions cannot be per mitted.—(Prolonged agitation.) " M. Gamier Pages—The country should know— " The President —You cannot be allowed to speak ; you are out of order. " M. Blanqui—The scandal is in the language of the speaker (M. L'llerbette). " M. de Lasteyrie called on the Speaker to call ;%ll the interruptors to order. " M. L'Herbette said he had a right to explain. " M. de Lavalette—You commenced your expla nation with a fresh injury. "M. de Puzy—Let the orator explain, unless you have something else to propose.—(Agitation.) "M. L'Herbette—Do not vex yourselves.—(Lau t rhter.) And he went on to say that his allusions had bee n to a former Parliament, when the tours de la Bourse ursed to be posted in that Chamber. " The President—l never heard of such a fact. " M. Luneau—lt is the fact. " M. Dejean—lt is an invention. "M. L'Herbette—The abuse subsisted form long time. It had been cited against him the exec* itude observed by Government towards the builders (sr the fortifications. A Government sure of a people's low did no;: want fortifications. To be sure it kept them. iv hen the people were good enough to bestow them, bat for all that did not care about thein.—(Laughte r and marinas 2, and so forth and so forth.)" In the discussion on this Bill on Tuesday an amendment was proposed by' M. FOIILD, to this effect :—" Two years after the completir, n of the line, and its being brought into work, the crimpany should have the power of declaring -whether it intended to keep the concession, or preferred to g ive it up; if in the latter case, the State should reirn burse the com- pany the amount of their useful expe: rises in Rentes at par in Four per Cents," which w as, after some discussion, rejected. Art. I of the GI wernment Bill was then adopted, and the discussion oi. ened on Art. 2, which was continuing at post hou r. The Union Monarchique says—": The _alarming r umours that h ave b een current as to the s.'llte of health o f M . TESTS were yesterday confirmed. His health is compromised •to such an extent tlia family begins to feel serious fears. M. TESTE at tended by - Dr. CRUVE7LHEI and M. ItotyGET, phpi ciao cif Luxembourg prison." A demand in xeparation de Mews has just ben formed by Mflle. MARIE CATHERINE TESTI, the wife of M. TESTE. Tne French squadron, consisting of four vesels of the line and four frigates, under the command of the Prince DE JOINVILLE, arrived at Palermo on the 4th. " The decline in the price of grain, which mani fested itself last week," says the Echo Agricole, "has been followed by another fall in all the markets. Everywhere the harvest presents a splendid appear. ante, which has been changed into a reality with respect to all descriptions of grain in the southern provinces, and for rye in the rest of France. In the first days of August the reaping of wheat will be general, and everything announces results superior to those anticipated."

DEATH OF THE O'CONOR DON. With profound regret ae have to announce the de cease of the Right Honuurable Dennis O'Conor, com monly called The O'Conor Don, one of her Ma jesty's Lords of the Treasury. His death occurred this morning at seven o'clock, at his residence, 51, Pall mall West, where the Right Hon., the deceased gent!e man, was attended by two members of the Roman Catholic priesthood, Maisigniore the Rev. Dr. Magee, of Wesminster, and the Rev. Lee, of Warwick street. The O'Conor Don was a man eminently re spected in his public character, and more than esteemed by those admitted to his friendship. His dirsolution is described to have been serene, and consolatory to those who witnessed it. The deceased was born in 1794, so that he was in his fifty-third year. In 1824 he was married to Mary Ann, daughter of Major Blake, since deceased. He has occupied his seat in the House of Commons, as representative of the county of Roscom mon, since 1831, so that he has been sixteen years a Member of the British Parliament. As a politician the O'Conor Don was an ardent and consistent Liberal; the moral and social advancement of Ireland was among his most fervent and perpetual aspirations ; as a Roman Catholic, he was an advocate for a more generalized system of Church endowment; as a philanthropist, he was solicitous for the removal of the more rigorous enactments from our criminal jurisprudence ; as an Irishman, he was a Re pealer. The O'Conor Don was regarded as the chief of the ancient family of the O'Conors, as his title indicated. SHERIFFS' CO URT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.) WDOWALL v. PALMER. -- This was an action brought to recover the sum of 11/. 16s. on a bill of exchange. The defendant pleaded that he did not accept the bill. The plaintiff s are warehousemen in the City, arid de fendant a farmer at Lakenheath, Norfolk. To prove the plaintiff's case Mr. Fisher, a wine and spirit mer chant at Lynn, was called, and proved that he drew the hill on the defendant. and the latter had, both before and after the action was brought, admitted that he had accepted the hill, but said that he had put in a plea by the advice of his attorney to get time, and the only reason he had not paid was, that he had been very un fortunate with his crops for two or three yerrs. Mr. J. Jackson, of Lynn, also deposed, that to the best of his belief the signature was tbat of the defendant. Mr. RENTIS said he could not make any defence against such evidence as this, and he had been misled by his brief, by which he was led to suppose that the bill was ace, peed John Palmer, and defendant's name was John William Palmer, but that being an error, he must let the case go to the jury. The jury found for the amount claimed. MASSON n. DODSON. The plaintiff in this action is the landlord of the Fea thers public-house in Great Wild -street ; the defendant is a bookseller in Fleet-street. The claim was for 51. 10s., for money lent. The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted. The plaintiff's attorney stated the case. In February and March last year the, defendant frequented the plain tiff's house ; and being a sporting character, was known by the fancy name of " Walker. He would be able to prove the loans of 11. 10s. and 21. ; with respect to the other sum there might be some difficulty, as although witnesses could prove , that other money was lent, they could not s p eak to precis! annunt Znhe were called, and proved the lo an o f 21. an d 1/. 103., and that defend. ant said Chaffey (a fighting man) was to have anything he wanted, as there was no difference between them, and he would repay plaintiff, The UNDER SHERIFF What is a fighting man ? That is no profession, unless lie is a soldier—that is the only fighting man the law recognizes. The witness— He is a pugilist, a friend of defendant. 1/. was sent after a concert. By Mr. TuomAs—Some people called it a cock. and • hen club. It was frequented by sporting men and all sorts. On the part of the defendant Chaffey was called, and swore that the money was lent to him, and that plaintiff asked him fur it, and witness said he would pay as soon as he could. Cross-examined—Sometimes wore defendant's livery for a spree, and sometimes defendant wore his, but they were never both in livery at the same time.—(Laughter.) The UNDER-SHERIFF said that although the money was given into the hands of Chaffey, if it was on defend ant's request he was liable, as for money lent to him, but if the money was lent to Chaffey, and defendant after wards guaranteed to pay it, there must be a contract proved. The jury immediately found for the full amount. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) EXTRAORDINARY CHARG E OF BILL STEALING.— George Ritman, and Thoma, Tull y an eating-housekeeper, residing at No. 91, St. Martin's-lune, were charged by John William Sawyer, clerk to Messrs. Green and Co., ley, Cornhill, with s t ea li ng a bill o f exchange s e r m fsoher i ac nutes to five o ' c l ock, he went to No. 91. n u 2g t 2l or- l stated that o n t h e prev i ous afternoon, about ei etlno C St. Martin's lane, to present a bill for payment of 22/. He drew it from his case with a notice attached, and presented the latter to a female, who went away with it, and presently returned with the prisoner Ritman, wbo looked at the bill in his hands. Shortly afterwards the prisoner Tully presented himself, and asked witness if tie had the bill in his possession, and if he would allow him (Tully) to look at it, which he did, and the prisoner took it in his hands, and after looking at it for a few minutes threw it on the table, and said the writing was not his, and it was a forgery. Witness then took hold of the bill, and was in the act of raising it from the table, ahen the prisoner Ritman snatched it from him, and squeezed it up, and passed it to a female whom Tully said was hi s wife, whe tore it, and subsequently gave the fragments to Tully. Witness told them that they had acted very wrong in tearing the bill. The prisoners laughed at him. and said it was a swindling affair, and told him to be off about his business. He then went for a constable and gave the prisoners into custody. In cross-examination the prosecutor stated that he (lid not know whether it was the practice of ba n k ers to pre sent bills before they were sent to a notary. nemotpltoeylledhobwy Mmar.byWinhdit,fivesledm,tt!inetsotwbnereer. of th ir. e were on the back of the bill , but believed the re m i g h t be two. - - bGilrl.eecnowulads The solicitor for the prisoner said, he had no further questions to ask. He would merely state to the magis trate the brief facts of the case. Mr. Tully was keeping an eating house in St. Martin's lan?. Some few weeks ago three well dressed men went to his house, and ordered a dinner to be ready for them by four o'clock. T hey afterwards left the house, and after being absent for a couple of hours returned, and said that now they would enjoy themselves, as they had sent the governor off to a pigeon match at Chalk Farm. After partaking o f their dinner they proposed that Mr. Tully should join them in a game of cards. He unfortunately consented, and lost 8/. and several bottles of wine. He drank a portion of the wine, and speedily became in su ch a st a t e that he was easily induced to give a bill for the amount he had lost at cards. He had never seen the men since, nor did he know that the bill of exchange was out till it was presented by the complainant. It was in a moment of excitement that Mr. Tully had acted as he had done, as he knew that the bill had been ob tained from him in a fraudulent manner. He had no further remarks to offer, but would leave the case in the Magistrate's hands. Mr. BiNorcui said, whether the bill was a swindle or a forgery, %as not a question fur him to decide. He would propose that the prisoners, or some one on their part, should replac e th e bill and give it to the com plainant, and that they should also reimburse Mes s rs. Green . for the t rou bl e th e y had been at in presenting it. If that was done he should discharge them. The bill was subsequently pasted together and brought into Court, an d t h e expenses having been paid, the pri soners were discharged. ARRIVAL OF THE COURT AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE. —Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Royal Princes and Princesses, attended by a numerous suite, arrived by a special train at the Nime Elms terminus of the South-Western Railway, this after noon, at five minutes past one o'clock. The royal party immediately proceeded in five carriages, each drawn by four horses, to Buckingham Palace, where her Majesty arrived at twenty minutes after one o'clock.

The contest here, considering haw slight is the difference of opinion on all that concerns our fiscal policy, is more severe than was anticipated, especially seeing the comparative harmony that has of late prevailed in Parliament. The condi• Lion of the revenue does not afford much present hope of further reduction in t! , xation, or modification of duties, though the growing strength of free-trade principles will doubtless again afford, ere the lapse of many sessions, the pleasing opportunity of a further revision .1 the tariff, desirable in few respects more than in the article of tea. The trade with China can never be adquately developed until we are in a position to receive in ex change for our goods a larger amount of that article which the Celestials have the power of supplying, nor does it appear so far that the ()peeing of the ports has realised the anticipations formed, and as is generally inferred, in a great measure on this account. The sales of Grain in the pr,vincial markets continue very limited. Last week the quantity of Wheat dispostd of was hut 31,907 quarters. The Funds have been flat again this morning, witl very limited business doing. Consols have been 88 8 for present transfer, and 884 K for account.

Brazil Stock has been quoted 841 ; Equador Bonds were 31 a ; and Grenada, 19:1 to 20. Mexican are rather firmer at 19k. There have been no bargains in Peruvian, although the meeting of bondholders takes place to-morrow, in consequence of the information re ceived from Lima, that the propositions sent over by the committee of bondholders for an arrangement of the debt, and payment of the interest, from the pro ceeds of the guano contract, have not been accepted by the Government, but that an invitation is sent to depute an English commissioner to proceed to Peru, to confer upon the terms of an arrangement.

DUNCOMBE then proceeded to call the at tention of the House to the reports laid before Parlia ment during the present session, on the state of Milbank Prison, and the treatment of convicts on board the Hulks at Woolwich. The reports on the state of the Peniten tiary showed that the prisoners were in a most deplora ble state, that scurvy prevailed amongst them to a great extent, and that they were dirty and lousy. He hoped the Government would bring in a Bill to put this prison on an entirely new system. The Hulks are in an equally deplorable state. The Honourable Gentleman severely censured the conduct of Mr. Capper and his sun, and inquired what steps the Government intended to take with respect to both these convict establishments. Sir GEORGE GREY quite concurred in the recom mendation of the Commissioners of Prisons, that the management of the Penitentiary should be separated from those who were entrusted with the work of inspec • tion ; and if the measure which the Government had introduced with respect to prisons, this session, had been proceeded with, this would have been done ; but he trusted that the intention would be carried out early in the ensuing session. The inquiry made by Mr. Wil liams into the state of the Hulks at Woolwich had satis fied him that there - Was ample ground for a strict and searching inquiry. 11l health had prevented Mr. Cap per, sen., from attending to his duties so strictly as he otherwise would have done, and he had been assisted by his son as a clerk. The Hulks had beet placed under the superintendence of an inspector, and steps had been taken to remedy the abuses that existed. Efficient medical superintendence bad been provided. The sub ject would hare the serious attention of the Government during the recess, and no doubt considerable improve ments would be made before next session.
