LONDON : FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1840. In the Lords, amongst a mul.titude of huiness which was transacted, we mils( yttytien..that 7 th!.. ,Metropolis Improvement all (NO. 1) .was read a second time, Es was the Municipal Districts (Ireland) Bill, after the Rsbop of ExETEtt had .explained to their Lordships that it affected the Protestant interest. A little sparring took place between the Bishop of LONDON and some lay Lords, touching the Rating of Stock Bill, against which some clergymen petitioned, while Lords WHARNCLIFFE and PORTMAN declared the clergy had nothing to complain of. - In reply to the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, Viscount MELBOURNE said all the papers connected with the ar rangements for the Anglo-Spanish Legioa should be laid on the. table. Lord STRANGFORD inquired whether it was true that an arrangement relative to Egypt had been made, to which France was.not a consenting party ? . What fo!. lowed we must copy. " Viscount MELBOURNE said that it vas certainly true that negotiations had been carried on between Greatßritain, Austria, Russia, Prussia, and the Sublime Porte, to pacify matters in the Levant. These negotia tions had been carried on, and were considerably ad vanced ; but matters of .that kind could not be consi dered as settled until ratified. It was quite certain, however, that these negotiations had made considerable progress. " Lord BROUGHAM asked whether it was true or not as reported, that no communication whatever had been made to France, or its Representative, on the subject of these negotiations, until after the period of the clam pfetion of the treey. _ _ _ 't Lord 11.1E1.BotinriE said it certainly was their wish to concur wiih France on this subject ; but it was also certainly true that France was not a party to this at.; rangentent,_ " Lord BaoLGHam said, all he could then do was to express as strongly as he could, and he could not express too strongly, his deep regret on the subject." On the Order of the Day for going into Committee on the Ecclesiastical Revenues Bill, the Bishop of EXETER made a speech against the Bill, excusing himself for not having done that on the second reading by the lateness of the hour to which the debate was pro tracted. The Right Rev. Prelate made an onslaught on the Primate, the diffe►cnce amongst the Right Rev. and Most Reverend Gentlemen being one of the most gratifying circumstances which has of late fallen under our notice, and of far more importance than the Bill which has caused it. We recommend the whole speech of the Right Rev. Prelate, particularly his rebuke of the Prime Minister for a speech in Parliament, and his allusion to taking away the property of a certain Mar quis to relieve the distress at Glasgow, and his hint that Noble Lords should be called on to disgorge - Church property, to the attentive perusal of the reader. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY gave a brief ex planation of his conduct on a former occasion. The Duke of WELLINGTON again delivered his opi nions at some length on the subject of providing for spiritual destitution, and firmly said that It ought to be done in the first instance out of the property of the Church EiThe. Bishop of LONDON advocated a distribution of Church property, out of fear , —not of those who cried "Down with the Church"—but lest be as oneof the rulers of the Church should be wanting in his duty. Report says, that he has-oaken good. care of Number 0.3 e. Alter the. Right Rev. Prelate had pummelled his brf,thcr of EXETER sufficiently as he thought, th e Bill went into Committee, and several amendments were read pro forma, in order that they might be printed, and di- - cuti9ed on Monday next. Their. Lonisbips then adjourned. in the Commons the Consolidated Fund Bill and the Exchequer Bills Bill, were read a first time, which is svmptoma!ie of the end of the -Session. : We have hear , ' t'e,tt thef.day fixed for the prorogation is the. Ith. The Administration of Justice BM was put off for this 62.?sion, lie7autic Sir E. SIUGDEN- had given notice of a inoton oppositio . , to it, and because Lori J. rot think it right to pass such a BA at sue!: a period of the Sessioa, ua:css it be enanimoJsiy supp.3rtctl. rt-pf to Lord SAtcuotq, Lord PALmEasToN stated . thet tiie su!otier monnpoly in Sicily would cease as so:in as possible after the award which had been given in P.0i.1 ahould he known at Naples. Several. Bills,including the Regency Bill, were passed through ono star e without opposition. The third read ing or the itlilways &II was opposd, but the motion to postpone it was defeat e d b y 83 to '5. It Was, how evix, put off ti.i later in the evening. niter scaie resistanc e on the part of Mr. WAxerta- TON, the Linen (Irel an d) B i ll went into a Committee; and went through the t:otitnittee with a number of amon(:lnent. It is to be reported 011 - Monda . WAattunToN wished t o postpone the Church Discipline Bin, on the ground that the clergy are either unacquainted with its provision s , or were hostile moved to put it off for three months, but was defeated on a division by i!,7 to 13. The 1301 went into Committee, but did not struggle through it, as Mr. WARBURTON insisted on dividing on a clause, when the House being scanty of Members, the Chairman reported progress. Before the House adjourned, Lord MORPETH for Lord J. liussELL, obtained leave and brought in a Bill to amend the Act for the better regulation of Ecclesiastical Courts, the single object of which is to enable the Court which committed JOHN TIIOROGOOD to dis- I charge him. The House rose at Half-past Ten. The absurdity of the Bishop of WINCHESTER'S doctrine, to which we yesterday adverted, though unworthy of any lengthened refutation, is not unde serving of notice, as a specimen of the extreme ar rogance of the priesthood. His argument, which i is embraced by the great bulk of the clergy, was— " That the State has no right to divert the funds of Cathedral or other institutions fi om the intentions of Me original founders or donors." He doubted whether the State had any right to interfere with that distribution of property ; but we know, from the continued practices of the Bishops and their chil dren for the last two centuries, that they only maintain this doctrine against the State and the people, and that whenever it suits them to divert these funds, they do so without scruple or remorse. How else have the Tom LYNS, and the SPA RKES, and the SUTTONS, been enriched ? The Bishop of WINCHESTER concluded his speech by conjur ing the Peers, as they hoped for mercy at the last day, not to abolish prebendal stalls and sinecure canonries. What relation ex'sts between the sal vation of the Peers and an improved distribution of Church property, we must leave the Bishop of WINCHESTER to explain ; but such denunciations of unseen and unknown misfortunes are the wea pons which the priesthood have brandished in all ages before the dazzled eyes of their followers, to subdue them to their own will. We remember the time when the appointment of the present Bishop of WINCHESTER to his See was regarded by all respectable clergymen, and all right-thinking members of the Establishment, as a disgrace and scandal to the Church. It would be libellou4,in f the highest degree for us to repeat what we'then heaftl several respectable clergymen say of the source of his appointment, and of his unfitness for his office ; but we may say, without a libel, that had the Whigs made such an appointment, there is not a, clergyman throughout the length anti breadth of the land, who would not have accused them of intending to degrade the Church. But what ever might have been thought of the appointment of Dr. SUMNER to be Bishop of Winchester twelve or fourteen years ago, all the respectable clergy will now rejoice in it as having raised up in him a great champion of their extreme claims. They will perhaps remember that some of the most powerful chemical agents, such as nitric acid, are obtained from the most impure objects, and they %Nig think it almost miraculous that a similar result should take place in the moral as in the physical world. Now, let the reader take this doCtrine of the Bishop of WINCHESTER, which is in general that of the clergy, which tabbooes, as it were, all their possessions against the claims of all living men, and which denies the right of the State to alter, so far as regards their property, the testa mentary disposition of EDGAR ATHELING and EDMOND IRoNslDEs,—let the reader take this instructive doctrine in connexion with another which is laid down by Sir H. OAK LLY, the Very Reverend Dean and Rector of Bocking, in an ad dress to his parishioners, which is now lying before us. They have for some time objected to make a Church-rate, and the Reverend Baronet, in his address, lays it down that the parishioners are bound to maintain the fabric of the Church, and that the Spiritual Courts will make them. The State must not even alter the appropriation df that part of our annual produce claimed by the clergy, but the clergy may declare that certain churches want repairs, may call on the Churchwardens to make them, and may consign a whole parish of JOHN THOROGOoDs to gaol, if such be found, by a pro cess in an Ecclesiastical Court. What they class as church repairs, and make other men pay for, is shown by the aiticle from Chelmsford published in yesterday's Sun. Organ ists, washing surplices, keeping THoriocoon in gaol, are some of the items for which the Rev. Ba ronet claims a Church-rate, and claims a power in Ecclesiastical Courts of consigning men to a dun geon if they refuse to pay. We remarked, concerning the late debate on THOROGOOD'S case, that as there was no power to release him, he must have been punished by a power independent of the Crown. The Protestant Ec clesiastical Courts, in fact, claim a jurisdiction derived from Rome above the law of the Protestant State. Thus the priesthood enforce by Papal Courts of their own their claims to tax the people, while they strenuously deny that the State has the power or the right to touch any of their property. Now when we combine these two claims together, and see them made on the , pretext of providing for the salvation of the people hereafter, as well as their present mora lity, the conclusion is irresistible that the clergy as sume a juggling supremacy over the law, and insist on using it, . an d on using religion, to enrich them selves at other people's expense. We can only expose these pretensions and resist them by Our pen. The parishioners of Bocking, however, we are happy to see, are taking active measures to defeat the demands of the Rev. Dean. Oa the 24th instant, the friends of civil and religious liberty met in that parish, and have published a spirited reply to the appeal of the Dean, in which the concealed assumptions are dragged to light, and exposed in all their fallacious hideousness. The priesthood failed at Barking, and now they are to try .if they can succeed better in the neigh bouring parish of Bocking. The Reverend Dean, who is also the Rector and a man of title, accompanies his persuasion to vote a rate by a threat of enforcing a rate by the help of the Ecclesiastical. Courts. If the rate be once voted by the Vestry it will be irresistible, and Dis senters will have to pay for prosecuting themselves or their brethren—for such is the use to which Church-rates are put—who, for conscience sake, object to such a disgraceful and degrading impost. Traced from its source to its conclusion, from a mandate of a Dean to the imprisonment of an honest recusant—a Church -rate, for all Dissenters, is sheer persecution, a degradin g badge of the in feriority of their religion, and of their rank in so ciety. They are at once sectarians and slaves. Our Correspondent, " A Whig in politics," whose letter appears in another column, hardly needed to have told us that he penned his remarks in a hum. Had he taken a little time for reflection he would have made them a little more accurate as well as more to the point. We do not know whether he intends to prevaricate when he says that " the pre sentees of the patron and of the Presbytery are alike subject to the refusal of the people." He could not be ignorant that we were speaking of the Veto Act in its original form, in which form it con tained no provision for the people's refusal of the Presbytery's presentee. Any future modification of it may show the accommodating nature of the Non-Intrusion " principle," but it. leaves the inten tion of the Vetoists of 1834, as far as it can be de duced from their Act, exactly where it was left by us. That Act increased the power of the clergy at the expense of the patrons, and we are warranted in supposing that such was the intention of its framers. We arc glad to find that our Correspondent cor roborates our argument, that the effect of Lord ABERDEEN'S Bill was not to transfer the pa tronage of the Church to the Clergy, but to limit the power of the Presbytery. He is not so happy, however, in vindicating Dr. ett ALM FR§ from the charge of " making a Jonah" of the Veto and Call. It is clear enough from hi s own showing, fact, that the Revere e n r d e D there tni n ir e o w aa o si t .o l p r r e e sr ta.e p i ndy r t o i of filling of the to make an exc am bi on o commo " compete nc y."' (fides for presbyteri a l pointment no doubt was great when he found tUat Lord ABERDEEN would not be a party to this exchange, involving as it did a shameless d'erelic tion of the principle from which the champion of Non-Intrusion had publicly an d so l en in l y declared he would not retreat a "hair's-breadth." We mar, however, venture to affirm, that great as was the Doctor's disappointment, it wa s - not treater than that of a large portion of his party, i at his declaration of it. _ _ _ Another point in which our Col..7respondent agrees with us is the qualification of ob*jec tors. We have shown that the Clergy have 'the power of limiting, and have limited, the right of ob jecting to a mere fraction of the congregat' ion , and having done this, have the impudence l t o eXelaita 44 r Be . hold how zealous we are for the rights of the people What good reason can be given for de nying the right to a single individual, male or female, who belongs to the congregation, and has reached the years of discretion f' The restriction of the Non-Intrusion principle to mere objection on the part of the people, which we take the liberty of viewing as a great inconsistency —not to say dishonesty—in the getttrs up of the Non-Intrusion bubble, finds no advocate in our Correspondent, though he tries to excuse those who adopted it. He is for the power of " choos ing," but he is still short of the mark. He must, to be consistent, add to this the power of dismissal, when 4, edification" no longer waits upon the pas tor's ministrations. These are not different rights, but part and parcel of the same right, and those who will not give the full right must hold their tongues about " principle." To say, as our Correspondent does, that the Veto Act was the "smallest amount of the people's consent that could be given," is mere nonsense. Maxima and minima are legitimate things enough in physical science, but when they come to be ap plied to a religious principle, there is good reason to suspect that something is wrong. Dr. CHAL MERs may oscillate like a pendulum between two extreme points, and thus exhibit the wonderful " elasticity" of his sentiments on the Non-Intrusion question ; but all honest men must feel that a reli gious principle, conscientiously entertained, cannot be compromised and frittered away, but must be carried out to its fullest extent, whatever be the hazard to him who holds it. If we" wanted any proof that we were not far wrong in taking the public press as the test of the public feeling in Scotland on the Non-Intrusion question, our Correspondent, in his eagerness to confute us, has furnished it. He tells us that the press is no test of public opinion on this question, because "it is one in which the distinctions of party politics are altogether buried." If then these distinctions are altogether buried,. how comes it that, in this question, the press is all on one side —all against the Non-Intrusion humbug? Our Correspondent talks of the page of ecclesias tical history bearing testimony to the zeal of Scotch Christians for the interests of CHRIST'S Church. We are not disposed to dispute that point. We know that the people of Scotland have, in for ►taer times, stood up manfully for what they believed •to be CHRIST'S Church. We agree with him too in trusting—indeed we are pretty stile —that the blood of these " noble forefathers runs in the veins of their children." But we would remind him that all that the forefathers struggled for so nobly, is perfectly within the reach of the children without any struggle at all. The old Covenanters fought not for stipends and glebes. What they drew their broadswords to defend was the right to worship God according to their con sciences. Does any one deny this right to the Non-Intrusionists ? What, then, hinders them from enjoying it ? Mammon. They cannot find in their hearts to part with their State-provided stipends, their manses, and their glebes. These are sore clogs upon " principle.' The share of public notoriety which the " Distin guished Correspondent" of the Post has obtained by his revelation of Friday last, has so inflated his vanity, that we begin to suspect he intends devot ing the remainder of his life to the inditing of semi-official paragraphs for the Newspapers. Should he fail in his laudable endeavour to set two great nations together by the ears, he may still turn his attention to the harvest which a nature like his may reap from sowing dissensions among the mem bers of a party, or libelling all statesmen whose policy transcends his feeble powers of comprehen sion. He has not yet raised the veil which shrouds his " Noble" name from vulgar identification ; and if he would not provoke the derision or the scorn of the public, we recommend to him—after his lucu bration in the Post of yesterday, which will he found in another column--carefully to preserve his incognito. As an anonymous scribbler only can he escape being either compellud to prove the very serious charge which he has preferred against Lord PALMERSTON of kindling an insurrection in Syria, or of being looked upon by all honourable men as a base and malignant libeller, who scrupled not, as far as in him lay, to sacrifice the fair fame of his country at the shrine of his miserable vanity. But in the guise in which he presents hi.nself to the public we challenge him —nay, we defy him to prove that the British Government was iii any way accessory to the Syrian insurrection. He has made a distinct charge of infamy against the 13ritiA Cabinet. We call upon him to prove it. We dare him to do so, at the peril of having his mask torn from his face, and himself stigmatized as a shameless libeller, if he refuse. The "Distinguished Correspondent" of the Post affects as strong a passion for peace as he avows a deep personal hatred of Lord PALMERSTON. But who cannot see in .his taunting allusions to France his keen eagerness to kindle the fl a m es o f a n European war ? He well knoWs that a fancied slight is more likely to be resenteif 'by our high-spirited, gallant neighbours on the other side of the Channel, than a real injury and there fore he taunts them with Lord PALMERSTON'S lofty contempt for their Government, and for their power as a nation. A little reflection might teach Frenchmen the falsehood, no less than the malig nity, of these sneers. It might be expected that they would not require to be told, that by no na tion in the world, except China, is France likely to be contemned. To despise France would argue a temerity inconsistent with sanity. She ought, therefore, to be above entertaining any jealousy on this head ; in truth, it would best become her dig nity to smile at such indications of grovelling wickedness on the part of those envying her alliance with a generous and equally brave and potent rival in arts and arms. We know that when such sneers were applied to England in the French journals in the course of last year, they only provoked, on our part, a smile of derisive commiseration. We knew our own strength, and had the dignity to feel that France was too great, too civilized, too chival rous, and too wise, not to respect it. The Post's Correspondent made the startling re velation on Friday last that Russia, Prussia, Aus- tria, and England had signed a secret treaty for settling the Eastern question without the inter vention of France. We expressed a doubt of the correctness of this statement ; and we subsequently showed that the convention agreed to by the Four Powers was not only submitted to the French Mi nister, but assented to by him, though the engage ments of his Government to MEIIEMET ALI pre vented him from signing it. We appealed to the French Government itself, whether there was any mystery about the proceedings of the Great Powers. They proposed nothing the basis of which had not been previously approved of by France, and they took no step of which she was not officially and candidly made cognizant. Well, what reply does the " Distinguislurd Correspondent" of the Post make to thiS ? Why, that besides the convention submitted to all the Powers, there was still a secret treaty between four of them to the exclusion of France. If so, what does it contain which was not in the ultimatum which it was proposed the Five Powers should conjointly present to the VICEROY? Does it stipulate the restoration of the fleet ? Well, so (lid the other. Does it in sist upon the restoration of Candia to the Porte, and claim for the SULTAN the Sovereignty of Syria ? Such were the provisions of the conven tion verbally approved of by France. We have not beard that harder conditions are stipulated in the alleged secret treaty, and we cannot suppose Coat such a treaty would be manufactured for no other purpose than to awaken the jealousy and provoke the indignation of France. But while, on the part of the British Govern ment, we indignantly fling hack the foul and ca lumnious charge that the Ministry collectively, or the Noble Foreign Secretary individually, had any thing to do with the breaking out of the insur rection in Syria, we are quite prepared to ad m it that the success o f the insurgents would give us the liveliest satis faction ; and that it is the inter est of England to afford the Syrians any assistance le with the preservation o f o u r relations compatib as neutrals. Tile success of the Syrians at once settles the Eastern q uestion in the way proposed by the Great Powers, without ar.y interference whatever. If the Syrians succeed in throwing off the iron yoke of the VICEROY, and placing themselves under the standard of the legitimate Sovereign, there is no longer a road by which ME HEMET ALI can march his legions upon Con stantinople. The pretext. for Russian interference so strongly urged after the battle of Nezib, will be entirely removed ; and England and France will EVEN ING EDITION. THE JEWS AT DAMASCUS, by D. SALOMONS,Esq.

For these reasons, we con tend that the success of the Syrians is greatly to be desired by those who entertain a propel ittqt?l'of revolutions et for the mere iiiopean war. We toix: are no breaking noa o t t u o t i s o f of anc sake of change, or for establishing the tri umph of the democratic principle in ani7 country ; but when a simple and a !nyill people arms to assert their are iib goaded ertje : ,a i n n d to ‘ t , h ,h e en taki t tiligeir uP success is not only essential to their own security, but a bond for the peace of nations, it would be strange indeed did we not desire their triumph. To foment an insur rection, and to assist a brave people fighting for their liberties, are very different things. The latter is as noble as the former is detestable. We have observed with regret that several of the French Journals have fallen into the delusion of supposing that the alleged Quadruple Treaty has for its object the humiliatio n of France, and that it is neither less ❑or more than a combination of the Great Powers in favour of the monarchical principle. Never was there a greater error, even supposing the secret treaty to exist. Russia does not care a s• raw for the monarchical principle as regards Turkey, and just as little does Great Britain. In reality France, unknown to herself, is at this moment playing the game of the Autocrat ; and were a war to break out, the CZAR would be delighted to witness the prostration of Turkey effected by the cess►on of Syria to MEHEMET ALI, with whom his Im!.erial Majesty would eagerly treat about the early division of the re mai►►ing provinces of the Ottoman empire. There was a time when by striking one effectual blow, the VICEROY might have obtained all that he desired, and yet have had nothing to fear from the Great Powers. Had he, on the death of the SULTAN, made a dash upon Constantinople, and seized the sword and standard of the Prophet, we question whether, if hailed by the Turks as the So vereign of their choice, his Highness would have ' expetienced any great difficulty in reconciling the European Powers to his accession to the Imperial dignity. But he allowed the auspicious moment to escape him, and never will another present it self. If France be mad enough to espouse his claims upon Syria, she will so far contribute to the ult►mate subjugation of the Oitoman empire by Russia. The answers given by Lord MELBOURNE to the questions of Lords STRANGFORD and BROUGHAM in the House of Lords last night, relative to the negotiations between the Great Powers respect ing the Oriental Question, confirm the only two facts which, since the commencement of the con troversy we have sought to establish—namely, that no secret treaty has been ratified between Russia, Prussia, Austria, and England to the exclusion of France, and that the negotiations which have hitherto taken place on the subject of a Con vention were known by, and communicated to, the Cabinet of the Tuileries, though France declined to take part in them. In fact, the very notion of secresy is rendered preposterous by the ready expla nations given by Lords MELBOURNE and PAL- M ERSTON, as to the progress made by the Great Powers, and the disinclination of France to unite in a measure judged by her allies essential to the maintenance of the integrity of the Ottoman empire. The French Journsls of Wednesday are wholly occu• pied with the fetes of July and the Oriental question. We have given copious extracts from them, together with a summary of the correspondence of our con temporaries from Constantinople, to which we direct the attention of our readers. Want of space prevents us from offering any comments upon them. The Etstern correspondence will be found to harmonize entirely with our views. The Russians have again been defeated on the coast of Circassia. The number of troops cut to pieces or forced to fly for shelter en board the Russian ships of War is 30 000. Brussels and German papers, the former of NV ed n,sday's date, have reached us. The Belgian jour nals are of opinion that France has only seceded from the Great Powers on the Eastern question for the purpose of acting as arbitrator between the SULTAN and the VICEROY, with the concurrence, of course, of Russia, Prussia, Austria, and England. The latest news from Madrid is of the 22d inst., but it is unimportant. The capital was then tranquil. TORTONI'S, J U LY 29. HAL Y..PAST TWELVE. —1 here is no particular feature the mat ket.

It is added that more alarming news has arrived by an extraordinary express, and the French Funds have again receded. In IN tegrals there were many sellers ; opened at 52. and fell to 511.

EXTENSIVE FIRE AND NARROW ESCAPE.— Between one and two o'clock, as a watchman was passing the shop of Mr. Fowler, a cork-cutter, No. 17, Little Eastcheap, Lower Thames-street, he discovered a fire raging in the shop. The man apprised the family of their danger, and sprang his rattle, when several brother officers ran to his assistance. They broke open the shop door, but by so doing the current of air forced the flames in a few seconds into every room in the house, and by two o'clock every article of furniture, stock, books, &c. , were entirely destroyed. The l oss i s es ti mate d at 600 1 ., par t of which only is insured in the Phcenix Fire-cffice. The family escaped without injury. On Tuesday night, a few minutes before 11, some excitement prevailed in Shoe-lane, Holborn, in come quence of cries of " murder" from the upper part of No. 59, the lower part of which is occupied by Mr. Procter, plumber. Mallett, the beadle, who resides next door, followed by several others, rushed up the stairs whence the cries proceeded, and at the top landing they discovered a man named Obadiah Whiting, bleeding profusely from several large and deep wounds in the head, face, and neck, which had evidently been inflicted with a knife. As soon as he saw Mallett he cried out, " Foc God's sake, Mr. Mallett, take me away—l am a murdered man," and in tantly fell into his arms. Having procured as sistance, Mallett conveyed the unfortunate man to St. Bartho lomew's Hospital, when it was ascertained t at he had received no less than eight differelit wounds, some of them of a most dangerous and painful description. Among the rest was that of the nose, which was nearly severed from the face. On inquiry this morning at the hospital it was ascertained that he was going on as well as could be expected, but he is by no means considered out of danger. The origin of the attack arose, it is said, a s f o ll o ws : —Whiting discovered that his wife had b ecome acquainted with a woman whose character he did not approve of, and he suggested the rropricty of discontinuing such ac quaintance. She, however, refused, an:l last night, as he was proceeding up stairs he met his wife's acquaintance, who had evidently just left his room. She spoke to him as she passed; he, however, said nothing in reply, and passed to his room, where he discovered that she had left her bonnet behind, when he became so enraged that he thrust the bonnet into the fire, and his wife instantly commenced her attack upon him ; he, however, feels assured that he had more than one assailant, but is not positive, as the light was put out at the onset. In consequence of the competition on the road hence to Ramsgate, the fares are reduced by coach, 23 mires, to 2s. outside and 3s. inside passengers ; also the stages hence to Margate are at present running at half price, and by the omnihusses as low as 3d. each passenger.—Dover Chronicle. READING RACES.—A project .has been set on foot for the revival of Reading Races, which have been discon tinued for some years past. They were formerly held on Bul marsh Heath, and attracted a large concourse of people. It is now proposed to hold them in the King's Meadow, close by the line of the Great Western Railway, and contiguous to the Reading station, so that the easiness of access may induce persons to come from the metropolis. The proposed a..rangements will soon be laid before the public. RIOTS IN HOLLAND.—ROTTERDAM, JULY 27.—At the beginning of last week very serious disturbances took place among the workmen employed in draining the Zuid plas. 1 hey comnienced on the 20th in the afternoon atZeven. huizen, where three workmen (two of whom are arrested, the third having fled) came into the Polder with a red flag, and endeavoured to prevent the other workmen, 1,500 in number, from proceeding with their work. The number of those who joined them was so great that the work was stopped in the whole Polder, and several of the workmen were beaten and ill used. This disorder confirmed on Tuesday and Wednesday, though a detachment of infantry had arrived from Gouda, and a detachment of cuiras siers from Leyden. On Wednesday the officer of the tribunal of this place having received information of the affair, imme diately repaired to the spot, and caused the whole garrison sal' Gouda to occupy in the night all the entrances to the Polder, together with a number of police officers, the happy result of which was, that on Thursday most of the men returned to their work, and tranquillity has been no further disturbed. - " THE GLORIOUS DAYS OF JUL .1 TRANsLATTON OF THE REMAINS OF THE VICTIMS OF JULY, iN►l 1e4t,F1t1R41197,.0t ; Tilt Cott' n AT T►iE PLACE TIE LA BASTILE ON THE 28TH o'i This ceremony took place on Tuesday, under somewhat favourable auspices. The weather was cloudy, though no rain intervened, so that there was neither an excess of heat nor dttt.t. As eorly as eight oielock all the streets and avenues leading to the Louvre anti ih6 4aeent tletys wette blocked up by the military, and no person was permitted to enter the area in front of the church of St. Germain l'Auxerrois but the civil and military officers who were to t,,,ke part in the cortege, and persons who had been pro vided with tickets. There *ere battalions of National Guards and trodps or tile liiie, together. with Municipal Guards, sergens de ville, and police agents, stationed at every avenue leading to the church. The facade of this edifice and of the interior, presented a solemn and impos ing effect; indeed the lighting up a profusion of chando ; hers and wax tapers, ddurled With the t.,-..)Fttly hangings in black bordered with silver, tended in no small degrUe add to the solemnity of the occasion. In order to exclude daylight the windows were covered over with black cur tains. In the middle of the nave a rnat , nificent catafalque was erected, in which were deposited fifty coffins, each con taining ten bodies. All the authorities and personage. of distinction being assembled, the service commenced at nine precisely. Cherubini's funeral mass Was porlarrned by a chorus and instrumental hand of about 2bo performers from the Conservatoire, assisted by MM. Derivis, Alexis Dupont, and Pouehard, under the able direr Lion of M. Habentek, of the Academic Royale. The Ministers of the Interor and Public Works, the Prefects of the Seine and Police, the Municipality, and the Staff officers of the National Guard and the garrison were placed in the sanctuary. The catafalque was surrounded by a picket guard, composed of non-commissioned offieera n..nd sol diors decorated with the order of July. Both sides of the nave were lined with files of the National Guards and soluiurs of the Line. At a quarter past ten the service was concluded, and the coffins, which had remained under the catafalque from Monday evening, were carried by men chost.n from the third regiment of Artillery, and ranged inn the grand funeral car, which had been brought to the dour of the church during the service. The car consisted of an immense oblong basement, or body, on six wheels, surmounted by a colossal sarcophagus of the ant.que form. The whole was covered with black velvet, bordered with silver, and surrounded by a vast ega talque, also in black velvet. At the front and back of the sale , )pliagui was a lion; and on each side were large t s utcheons b, aring the ciphers 27, 28, 29, Juillet, 1830. Wncn all was ready the procession b,tgan to move in the fiillortinir ° order :—A . squaci , on of cuitai;:ers ; the Lieut.. Genera Command nt of Paris, with his staff; detach ments of cavalry, artillery, and infantry of the line; all the drummers of the regular troops, ceminanded by one ser vant-major ; the Lieutenant-General Commandant of the first military division ; a detachment of cavalry; ditto cavalry of National Guard; a corps of musicians, directed by M. Berk z, preceded and followed by detachments of National Guards; Marshal Gerard, as Commander-in- Chit fof the National Guard, with his staff; the Ministers of the Interior and Public Works; mourning carriages cons eying the clergy of Saint Germain l'Auxerrois; the funeral car, drawn by 24 black horses, four and four, each row of horsts led by a groom on each side ; the course of the vehicle behind being directed by fifty artillerymen with pules ani ropes, assisted by men of the Pomprs Funebres ; a deputation of the Decor 6; de Juillet, twelve hundred in number ; the Prefect of the Seine and the Municipal Council; a detachment of Municipal Guards and infantry of the line ; the legions of the National Guard ; cavalry of the National Guard; detachments of infantry of the line and cavalry. The car was at first stopped by an accident, which pro duced a momentary confusion. In turning the corner of the Place Saint Germain l'Auxerrois, and the street which leads to the Quay, OHO of the hind wheels of the car got locked, and nearly threw the enormous mass over. This naturally created a panic among all present, and the spectators fled with precipitltion. Several were thrown . . down and trodden upon, and one, it is feared, was seriously hurt. Order was, however, soon restored; in a quarter of an hour the obstacle was removed, and the procession resumed its march, the band playing the solemn funeral march composed by M. Berlioz. As the train passed by the Louvre, the King appeared at one of the windows, surrounded by the Royal Family, and attended by the President of the Council. His Majesty repeatedly saluted the procession, and remained uncovered as long as the car was in front. The King was in return greeted with acclamations. All along the line of march followed by the procession order was kept by the Alunieipal Guards and troops of the line stationed at intervals, and the soldiers all presented arms as the ear passed them. Oa arriving at the Place de la Bastile, which was at two o'clock, the car was drawn under the temple erected in front of the column, and preparations fur the absalution were made. At six in the morning, when the guns were first fired, the veil with which the column and the figure of Liberty on the tep bad been covered was withdrawn ; but a long s'.rearner of black crape, spangled with silver stars, floated to the base, and mingled with the tri-coloured fftgs. At eight o'clock the 9.h legion of the National Guard took up its station in the area, and soon after wards the eight circular tribunes, and two pavilions erected round the square of the column, were occupied by upwards of six thousand persons, who had receiveu tickets. On the right of the temple were placed the rela tions of the victims, and on the left other persons who had followed. On the reserved elevated seats were placed the clergy, the Ministers of the Interior and Puble Works, Manila' Gerard and his Staff, the Prefects, the Municipal Body, numerous civil and military officers, and deputa tions of the members of the order of July ; the rest of those, oecorated with the insignia of the order, being ranged round the base of the column. The horses has tug been taken from the car the coffins were exposed, and the clergy went down Into the vaults to consecrate the tombs for their reception. Tins receptacle fur the dead is entered through a bronze door in the circular base lending into a peristyle or vestibule to the staircase which ascends the coluam, and at the same time to the tombs. On turn ng to the ra t h is lou .d a circular corridor paved with avh.te marble, relieved with crosses and stars of black marble, arid lighted from windows of painted glass. After descending a few steps the funeral vaults are entered by four cast-iron doors ornamented with rich open work. Each vault contains one vast sarcophaguz, fourteen yards in length, one in width, and one in depth. Very large flag stories were placed by their sides, ready to form the covering. On returning from Cie vaults the clergy per formed the absolution, and M. Berlioz's grand symphony was executed by a numerous orchestra. The coffins were then carried into the vaults, and the ceremonies of the day concluded with the troops filing off round the column. The number of the National Guards present at this we rawly is estimated at 60.000. The Gazette de France asserts that some of the specta. tors on the Boulevard du Temple shouted " Vive la Re. forme I" yesterday as the Ministers of the Interior and Public Works passed, and that their cries were repeated by some of the National Guards, and especially by a legion of the Banlieue. Yesterday evening (Tuesday) the most perfect tranquil lity reigned, and it is confidently anticipated that the fetes this year will pass off witnout any symptoms of disturbance being manifested.—Morning Post. BOULOGNE-Stht-MER. Joey 30.—The last of the " three days of July" has been a great day for the loyal and good people of Bou logne. The first two were partially observed, but on the evening of the second, it was announced by official pla cards that the wuolo of the City National Guards, with the troops of the line in garrison, would pass in review before the Prefect, the Mayor, and other public func tionaries, by eleven o'clock on the 29ih ; and this was coniirmcd by the repeated discharges of two brass six pounders, drawn by four horses each, with the accom panying gunners in uniform, at the foot of the ancient walls that still surround the venerable old town and ci tadel which yielded in times of yore to the ale-drinking and beef-eating English under Henry the Eighth. At an early hour in tic miTning, consequently . the tri-Fo loured. flag floated from almost every house in the city, from every steeple and battlement, from the Palace of Jus tice, the Hotel de Ville, the vessels in the harbour, and from every place, in short, where there were human beings to rejoice over the expulsion of the last of theßoyal race that for twenty-five; years bad " forgotten and learned nothing." At the appointed hour the National Guard began to muster, all properly equipped with musket an'l sword, uniform white below and blue above, with red epaulets and facings or the same colour; and when the Prefet with his attendant officers arrived, the French King's men marched up the hill, and then marched down again. There were no manoeuvrings nor, firings; they merely exhibited themselves as on a holiday, and afterwards were quietly dismissed to witness the other performances pre pared for the occasion. In the expansive basin of water above bridge. where, on a time which Englishmen will lung remember, were collected Buonaparte's flotilla, were, on the 29th of July, 1340, assembled numerous plt asure yachts, some French, some English, with rowing boats too of bo . h nations ; and around its extensive banks thousands of men, women, and chi dren, that in the good Tory times would have torn each other to pieces, but who, on this occasion, met in peace and harmony, and vied with each other in doing honour to the memory of the brave men who fell in the sanguinary struggle which ended in the ace..swon of the present Constitutional dynasty. On the centre of the bridge, guarded by confine's, were placed some of the City authorities, who had the charge of conducting the performances, and on each hand was a flag —one, of cour e, the flag of the day—the far-famed tricolor ; and the other the flag that has '• braved a thou sand years, the battle and the breeze"—the flag of. Old England ; and what freeman does not pray, "May they long float together." Th e amu s ements commenc e d with a rowing match, when three boats started and rowed round a boat anchored in th e upper part of the basin. The par ties were all French, an d t h e row i ng very creditable to their skill and vigour. The next was not equal; the Union Jack was pitched aga i nst the Tri-colour, and any one on seeing the start could have no difficulty in saying which would be victorious. The French boat was a heavy, lum bering machi ne , w i t h four long oars—the English was little more than half the s!ze, and well equipped ; and John Ball of course came in first, when the serjeant de ville ordered the drum to beat in token of victory. After this came a most ludicrous scene. About thirty men, all naked, with the exception of a bonnet rouge and a ceinture blanche, were collected on a barge, with a pruier officer to direct their movemoes. From the prow of the barge was rust out it long pole. like a boerswir, well greased, and at the (nd was a little pole and a flag—of ecurse, the Tri color, These men in turns tried to walk along the slippery path to seize the prize, and by a singular accident the first that tried walked along, caught the flag as he lost his footing, and plunged into the water, waving triumphantly the emblem of the Orleans dynasty, amidst the shouts of the assembled stators. Sonic twenty tried it after ward„ and not More than three succeeded, all the others losing their balante and sinking disconsolately, while the crowd was convulsed with laughter. Then caul° another P,VENING EITI «N. seer Ole end O'a lard, run _put from the barge, tre a a ended an eci, iihotitrtt fael end a half long ; a boat Pas 4 rowed rapidly under it, while one of the asked men stood on a foot-hoard at the stern, then jumped at the eel, which elipred threugh his hands, and down he sunk, at mucks eCriuen* lo !tle wan amusement as that of the nurcroa? spectators. One at last Citceeded in catching tire -ed . , and not a few ducks which were let Purse on the water shared the same fate from the agile swimmers. Among the on-loookers were the whole nearly of a Sectch colony, irdth Vundee! mahlished in the neighbourhood, whose northern drawling language sounded strangely amidst !tut lively, facetious, and ready remarks of this active and lively people. The day was beautifully fine, the tin powerful, not a cloud in the sky, and no accident or untoward event. to cloud the rejoicing of the day. Numerous partite* dined tocrqher to celebrate the event, among others the: i• ologenrs of the Ist batallion, at the Hotel Floury. The following is a ! t rench report of the entertainment " Apres la revue les voltigeurs du Ire batallion se sont reunis a I'hotcl Floury ou ils ont dines avec grand ordre. I:!es toasts qui out rte porter etoient--- 4 au Roi des Prandals," a l'alliance Anglaise,' ala Reine d'Angle terre,' et 'au C:pitaine de la compagnie,' LTn NlAjor: kiglais, qui assiatait a la banquet-, a repondu au toast qui a ortd al4 Reine de n.ileterre ; ainsi quo ala corn tinuation de l'ailiance Anglaise." About nine o'clock fire wo7l.s were let off on the E-planade, around the bust Of ll..nri Qaatre, to the great delight of a vast and orderly' niultitude. The fire-works were splendid—beat Vans h.:ll and the Surrey Zoological Gardens, and elicited the most hearty applause. Louis Philippe does well to pay f.r these amusements which celebrate the expulsion of the Pourboi a 13u mararte and the Bourbons are now for gotten in France, and if L tuis Philippe adheres to the p inciplcs which placed him on the throne, he will be the most indepcnden Sovereign in the world.

The Ayram Gazette has the follawng account% iron Belgrade and the frontiers of Servia:- 4 ' The Prince has issued the following Ukase :—Manf persons, from almost all the districts, having waited 00 me, both bare and in Topcedere, saying that they were io doubt whether all the orders issued by the Ministers and the subordinate authorities were really issued w:th ell will and consent, as several of them had neither my si g nature nor my seal, and some houses evc o , refused the obedience due to the maglstrates, s think fit by this proclamation to acquaint the whole nation that all ordinances and commissions i3sacd by the Ministers and the subordinate authorities are my Ova' • and that in future obedience is to be paid without ccntradie tion or delay to all ordinances and all constituted autho rity, seeing that he who obeys them obeys me, and he wk° visits them visits me, and that every one who disobeys this order or any other of my orders founded on the Coe' 13itution, will ba &livered over to the tribunal, ana, severely punished. Concluding with my present will and order, I find it superfluous to refer every one who thinks himself injured in his rights by any person whatsoever to the ordinary tribunal, and to command the whole people to °bey even those officers whom they believe guilty of a derelic' Linn of their duty till they shall be removed from their office by the ordinary course of justice, and by a legal de' vision."
