LONDON: FRIDAY, JULY 3. 1840. NEWS FROM CHINA. The Overland Mail from India has arrived, bring ing Canton Papers of the 27th of March, Singa pore Papers of the 15th of April, and Bombay Papers of the 23d of May, inclusive. From Can ton the news is more interesting than important. The Chinese were making (for them) vigorous pre parations for hostilities with England. They were busily' constructing numerous fire-rafts for burning British shipping, and as from time immemorial the ingenuity of the Chinese has been directed to the ma nufacture of fire works,.there is more danger to be ap prehended from these infernal machines than from any of Admiral WAN'S floating batteries. The American merchants, finding that Canton was likely to be soon too hot for them, and that Great Britain was not to be deterred from seeking repa ration for the insult offered to the Representative of her Sovereign, and the robbery of her subjects, by their protests, bad quitted the provincial city, which put a complete stop to all foreign trade. The Druid, of 44 guns, had been ordered to join the squadron destined to make war on China. News of the death of the Empress of CHINA had reached Canton. Pekin was said to be in a state of dangerous excitement ; the stoppage of the foreign trade having occasioned great distress among the tea-growers and rhubarb cultivators. A considerable loss of revenue was experienced in the Imperial Exchequer, and the Mandarins who indi rectly profited by the trade, were ad discontented— and discontent sometimes finds a tongue even under the despotic sway of the Imperal Ruler of " ten thousand kingdoms." The reigning dvnas'.y, being of the Tartar race, is exceedingly unpopular in China, and it is not impossible that the comest with England may lead to a revolution. (..;`. .r",. THE KHIVAN EXPEDITION. A letter from Jellahabad, of the 23d of April States that the Russian army had entered Khiva in triumph. The KIIAN, finding resistance impos sible, submitted with a good grace —set at liberty all Russian prisoners in his dominions—entered into an alliance, offensive and defensive, with the Emperor NICHOLAS —and promised to afford the Russians all the assistance in his power towards the extension of their dominion in the East. The writer further sates that, on leaving Khiva, the Russian army would march to Bokhara. If this news be confirmed, we may prepare ourselves for an encounter with Russia, on the banks of the Indus. It is mare than probable that from the battle-fields of Central Asia the voice of England will be first heard evoking the restoration of Polish nationality and independence. The opinion of the Lords on the Canada Bill is to be brought to the test of a division on the third reading, the Earl of HARDWICKE having given notice that he will move to postpone it for six months. If certain Lords do not then vote away their own souls, as the Standard describes its party as doing, the Bill will most likely be thrown out. Several petitions were presented, and, amongst them, one by Lord BROUGHAM, from Edinburgh, signed by 8,000 persons, aga net the union of Church and State ; and the Noble Lord added, that the desire to separate the Church from the State was promoted by the late proceedings of eceesiastical authorities. The Marquis of BREADALBANE expressed a diffe. rence of opinion. The Earl of ABERDEEN . , Church Bill went through a Committee. After some oppositiort on the Part of the Marquis of 1311EADALBANE, who wiihrd that Counsel should be beard at the bar against the Bill, and who gave notice, that on bringing up the Report, he would move that Counsel be heard against the Bill, The Marquis of WESTMEATH again brought the case of Priest O'REILLY under the notice of the House, and moved for the papers relating to the transaction. The Marquis of NORMA:CBI' denied that there were rich papers as the Noble Marquis moved for. Ho had just received the most satisfactory accounts from that part of Ireland, and, considering the extent of business before their Lordships, hoped their time would not be wasted by such trifling. Th• rebuke seem►_d to be felt us it was deserved, and the Marquis of WESTMEATH withdrew his motion. The Payment of Wages Bill was withdri wn, several measures were fora; irdcd a stage, and their Lord.h ps adjourned. The Commons engaged in long Li d arm ( onteiton about the Weaver Clurches the third ; cad a; of which was moved by S.r P. ECE:I( N. Mr. THORNILY moved for a SL ect Con mitten :o Quire into the matter. xr. arm moved the ad;ournn eat of the sk,bc• ; but after several divisions the Bill was read a third time, and, some amendments being proposed, the further con sideration of the Bill was finally postponed till to-day. On Monday Sir ROBERT PEEL will ask a question concerning the construction of the Orders in Council, relative to China. On the motion that the House should go into a Committee on the Irish Regi s tration Bill (L )rd STANLET'S), Mr. O'CONNELL moved an instruction to the Committee, with a view to define the franchise. The lion. Member set forth the necessity of defining the franchise before proceeding to enact registration clauses, at great length. He complained of Lord STANLEY for forcing on the Bill before the English and Scotch Registration Bills were proceeded with, and concluded by moving that the Committee be in structed to define municipal cesses and taxes. Mr. LEFROY opposed the motion. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL showed that the law was uncertain, and that the franchise required to be defined. 1 Sir E. SUGDEN, of course, took an opposite view. Sir D. NORREYS supported Mr. O'CONNELL, and Mr. SHAW opposed him. Mr. LYNCH and Mr. LITTON also took opposite sides. Mr. H. GRATTAN said the people of Ireland ought not to submit to the Bill. Lord STANLEY was indignant that no Minister bad spoken, and that his progress in doing mischief was delayed. Lord JOHN RUSSELL explained at some length that he thought qualification and registration ought to be regulated by separate measures, and he could not vote with the [lon. Member for Dublin. Sir ROBERT PEEL condemned in strong terms the course pursued by the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin. Alter a debate which turned principally on the course of proceedings which had been adopted, the Howe di%idcd, and the instruction was refused by 311 to 162. Toe Committee was then postponed till Monday. At a Quarter to One the House adjourned, having done nothing but debate this instruction, debate the Weaver Churcnes Bill, and perform some matters of Course. It is understood that the split in the Conserva tive party, of which the Standard of last night furnished additional evidence, is immediately caused by the refusal of the moderate and respectable Tories to support Lord NV YNFORD'S motion to exclude Dublin from the Irish Municipal bill. Our Contemporary gives the following graphic de scription of his friends staining their souls by voting for what they believe to be unjust :-- If we could trust to the avowed conviction of Conser vatives we should have no fears : all agree in condemning tie 13;11—all call it an unjust, an odious, an execrable measure ; but, most strangely, some of the very men who use this language tell us teat the house of Lords is not at ',betty to reject the treasure in integro, and at once, es they ought surely to reject what is unjust. odious, and exe crable. Some pledge, forsooth, is referred to, though when given, or upon what consideraticn, no man w.ll say. Now, will the House of Lords adopt the •'unjust, odious, and execrable measure" under the compulsion of this mys terious engagement—will it thus repay thenipport which it has received in its day of peril from the Conservative people ? Will it throw away the hope of again receiving that support when it shall be again in danger, ns in danger agai❑ it must be? But some one has given a pledge, we hear it repeated. What has been the equivalent? If the pledge is not to be treated as a mere nudum pactum, let us know the value received. Let us see the concessions made by the 3linisters or their Ro manist task-masters. Nothing whatever of the kind can be shown. How, then, is any party bound by a ple ,2 ge in the price of which no party has partkipated ? Let every man bear his own burthen. It is not servitude, it is nut tlavery in the mild form in which it exists in Barbary or Turkey—it is a degradation cf the human bring below the delaaement of the wretch wl7o places his head under the wheels of Juggernaut, that c.atupels a man to stain his soul by voting for what he believes to be unjust, odious, and execrable, because truly another has promised that he shall do so. If the majority of the House of Lords em brace this foul slavery, trt Clem never again represent themselves as the guardians of cur liberty. Liberty seems theguardianshi i s of 'o,ectsman. .• The Duke of WELLINGTON is more of a poli tician than a sectarian—more of a statesman than an ecclesias,',:ic ; and he refuses, unlike the late Lord LIVERPOOL, and Mr. SPENCER PERCEVAL, to bow 1 - as neck to the yoke of tl'e bigot. Ile will not consent to take Dublin out of the Bill, because ti ae Irish parsons and the Irish Orangemen swear that Protestantis m w ill b e en d angere d by reforming that corrupt corporation. In this point he agrees with the Tory statesmen of the House of Com mons, who allowed the all to pass without pro posing to remove Dublin from its operation ; but he disagrees with the ultra-Protestants whom the Standard describes as the supporters of the peer age in its days of peril. This is one vital differ ence between the two sections of the 'Tories, which must make it far more difficult for them to form an Administration, when they have an opportunity, than to turn out the present Ministry. But between the DUKE and his friends in the House of Lords on the one hand, and the Tory statesmen in the House of Commons on the other, there is also a serious difference. He and Lord ELLENBOROUGII, though they declined to take on themselves the responsiniiity of rejecting the Canada Government Bill, spoke strongly against it, while Sir R. PEEL lent is aid to make it perfect, and Mr. GLADSTONE spoke of it as the only measure which could serve and save the Canadas. Lord ASHBURTON, again, was quite radical on Canada. On such vital questions, then, as the mode of governing the Colonies—as the constitutions they are to have—and as the local administration of Ireland, there is a complete schism in the party which claims to govern the country on account of its unity and its strength. On Wednesday, too, the Standard expatiated at great length on the power of the ultra Pro testants, and made it out, very much to its own satisfaction, that the Conservative statesmen in the House of Commons owe all their power to the fa natics. They seem induced to adopt the same con victicn, and therefore placed themselVes, on Tuesday evening, under the generalship of Sir It. INGLIS. The question he brought forward concerned the balance of power in the Constitution. He proposed to swidl the ecclesiastical authority ; and Lord STANLEY, who cut off ten Bishops in his Reform ing days, as well as Sir R. PEEL and Sir JAMES GItAII.,I, acknowledged the propriety of the mo ,ion by their votes. Such a question, binding down a great party, should have at least the ad vantage of the advocacy of its leaders if they had not originated it, but both Sir R. PEEL and his rival Lord STANLEY, gave a silent vote in favour of the proposition of their new leader. Perhaps they were ashamed of their recent submission to his power, and thought to conceal their degradation by their silence. Lord STANLEY, the author of Church Reform in Ireland, and Sir It. PEEL, the author of the Church Commission, now voting under Sir It. INGLIS to extend the Church, is as sorrowful an example of political folly and incon sistency as has of late fallen under our notice. But a more important consideration than the personal character of these statesmen is the effect on the public of the differences between the Tories, should they get possession of the Government, and of the predominance of the ultra-religious party. The disjointed Tories are prepared to turn out the Whigs, but from these differences on vital questions it would be impossible for them to carry on the Government for three months. They obstruct and would destroy, without the possibility of rebuilding and maintaining. Lord J. RUSSELL alluded, on Tuesday to the hostility of the Dissenters to the Church, but what they now feel is as a little comfortable parlour fire to a glowing furnace to what they will feel when alarmed by the Church Extensionists being in pos session of the Government. A hopefut prospect this for the country ! A powerful faction is re solved to destroy the present Administration, and to seize power which it could not hold, though its momentary suet( ss would excite the most angry passions in more than half the nation. No man can say that the Whigs, who are mostly Churchmen, are the enemies of any class ; but the Church Exten sionists must be, and are regarded, as enemies, as unjustextortioners and oppressors by a majority ofthe nation. Against a Government founded on Ultra- Protestant principles—and the Standardassures us no other has any chance of standing, the hostility of the Catholics, of the Dissenters, and of all those who belong to no sect —now a considerable party in the empire, would be di recte d ; so t h at t h e success o f the Tories in breaking up the present Administration must lead to contention and anarchy. Never was a greater misnomer than to call such mischievous men Conservatives. In a brief article we copy from the Scotsman on the state of trade in Dundee, it is said that the spring demand from America has not been so great as usual, partly because the Americans are beginning to manufacture for themselves. As we will not take their corn they cannot buy our cloth ing and cutlery, and as they must have garments and tools, they are compelled by ou r Com b -laws to turn manufacturers. They may ultimately be bene fited by this, and the same law which weakens England may strengthen America. To provoke anger in other nations and make them powerful are the ricixssary consevericcQ of a law expressly esta. Wished, as the landlords affirm, to increase the wealth and preserve the independence of Britain. One probable result of this slackness of trade, and the rise of manufactures in other nations, seems worthy of notice. To enable us to compete with them, we must conic down to their prices, and even undersell them. Tin that occurs, trade cannot revive and extend in England. But what a fall of prices here, to a level with, and below the level of prices on the Continent, with our pre• sent and increasing burdens, and with our Corn laws, signifies, the owners of property, of land, and capital, will not require us to state. Bankruptcy is beginning, but bankruptcy, we are afraid, wiil ex tend ; and when bankruptcy becomes eeneral amongst traders, it will not be long before the landowners and the monied classes will feel some of those poignant miseries their stupid and wicked legislation has inflicted on others. A country Correspondent, who has not seen the last Report of .the Select Committee of the House of Commons on the Opium question, expresses an earnest wish that we shall publish it, for the advan tage of such readers as prefer knowing the conclu sions arrived at by the Committee upon the evi dence given before them, to the less deliberative de cisions of the daily newspapers. We set it down to the wisdom of the Committee that a compliance with the wish of our Correspondent, will make nei ther him nor those who think as he does, anything the wiser. The Committee's Report, like the knife-grinder's perilous adventures, is soon dis posed of. 6' A story, bless you I have none:to t e ll." Equally lacon , c is the Hon. Reporter on the part of the Select Committee. He states in two lines and a half of prose, that the Committee feel that they shall best discharge their duty to the House by laying before it, without any observation on their part, the evidence on the opium surrender which they have taken. Thus every reader is left, and very properly, we think, to draw his own con clusions from the mass of evidence sub mitted to him. Parliament has yet heard but one side of the question. The witnesses exa mined, with a single exception, were all dealers in, or otherwise interested in the sale of, opium. Su perintendent ELLIOT and the interpreters ate yet to be heard, and it would ill comport with the Justice of the House of Commons to condemn any proceed ing on the part of a Representative of the Crown in a foreign country, without waiting to hear what vindication he may have to offer, for what at first sight may appear reprehensible in his conduct. But while we willingly acquit Capt. ELLIOT of intentional error—while we ate ready to grant, in the fullest manner, that he had nothing more at heart than to uphold the dignity of the Crown, and assert the rights of his countrymen and of all other Europeans and Americans trading in China, we have no hesitation in asserting that it is deducible, both from his own correspondence, and from the evidence given before the Committee, that from time moment of his arrival at Canton in March, when the trade was stopped, he completely lost his ba lance, and acted like a man who had no settled pur pose. His sudden, and by the whole community, unexpected surrender of the opium—his threats of war, followed in almost the same breath by humi liating p et i t i ons f or peace —h is attack on the Chinese fortress, which he abandoned when it was in his power to carry it—are itrecoecilealde with the conduct of a British officer in the cool posses sion of all his faculties. We have on former occasions approved, and we repeat our approval, of those acts of Captain ELLIOT of which the Tories have most loudly ex pressed their disapprobation. His refusal to give up an innocent person to be murdered by the Chinese authorities to revenge the accidental kiil ing of a native in a drunken brawl, reflects the highest credit upon him, both as a British oflicer and the Representative of our Most Gracious Sovereign. Neither do we find the least fault with him for the part the opium dealers would have it to be inferred he had in acceterating a rupture with China. It was plain to every person conversant with our relations with China, that a contest must . _have arisen sooner or later. The seeds of a rupture had been sown long before his appearance in the Chinese waters, and the fruit was ripe before his hand could be stretched to pluck. Nor, indeed, could a better time be chosen for deciding such a question in the Eat than when Europe enjoys the blessings of a general and, we trust, a lasting peace. What we blame Captain ELLIOT for is, the vacillation he evinced,- when firmness and steadiness of purpose were so essential to the safety of a British community and the dignity o f th e British Crown. We blame him for not having taken his course at once, and never swerved from it. From the instant he found him ,elf a prisonet at Canton, his course was clear. He must have known that the British Government would trot, and could not, overlook such a n outrage—such a gro s s violation of the Law of Nations. By the very lag, China had made war upon England. In attempt ing to treat with LIN after his escape, he was treating with an enemy, with whom he had no authority to make peace. The war was inevivible —UN's mode of bringing it about unobjection• able ;so far Captain ELLIOT is blameless. But his conduct subsequently satisfies us that his moral courage was not equal to so great and trying an emergency . The Church Extension question seems to us like no other question, and demands from the public peculiar consideration. How many policemen shall be employed, what number of soldiers is wanted, what shall be the size of the fleet and the number of seamen, how many Judges shall sit in Chancery, are all questions to be decided by a physical standard, and though politicians may (Lifer in applying it, they always look to the number of population, to the enemies likely to be opposed to us, or to the number of. suits, to determine the number of judges, soldiers, sailors, and policemen. But Church Extension is to supply the spiritual wants of the people, which are wholly invisible and intangible, and of which the sole judges are the persons who say they alone can supply the wants. It is not merely, to take an illustration from the army, as if the military officers should determine how many soldiers should be levied and how much they should be paid, but as if they decided by numbering up enemies whom nobody could see, and nobody could combat but themselves. Such a peculiarity in the question should make every man, except he he as pr:est-ridden as Mr. P.LtimPTRE, look on the assertion of the priest party with great suspicion. Another leading feature of this question, is its super-eminent importance. Though Sir R. INGLIs recommended his motion to the House of Com mons by considerations of public utility, he also asserted that he wished the Church to he extended because it is the true Church. Of course no man proposes to extend a false Church. But this true Church is not only the source, ac cording to him and his party, of all morality, and all virtue, and all civilization,—it is also the means of securing eternal happiness to mankind. Cer tainly nothing can be more thoroughly absurd than the supposition that souls can be saved by a vote of Parliament, as an army can be formed ; but the more absurd it is, the inure strong may be the belief in it, as it cannot be brought to the test of the senses. Such being actually the absurd sup position, and such the strong belief of the priest party, it follows that the extension of the Church, as the means of securing order, obecliene,, peace, and happiness in this world, and also of seeuri ii mankind eternal happiness, is beyond all cottt parison the most important question which can en gage the attention of statesmen. They pursue it with the zeal of fanatics. It admits of no compro mise ; and the Church Extemionists require more churches, in obedience to the commands of as a means of saving society from sin and Souls from cernal torture. Moreover, this opinion of the paramount import ance of the Church is shared by statesmen. They speak of it and uphold it as th e means b ot h of MI spiring the people with a love of virtue and a sense of political obedience, and also of leading the peopl c to salvation. Sir B. PEEL and Lord' J Rus- SELL alike share this opinion, and support the Church as the basis of social order and future happiness. On no other ground hut the pre-eminent importance of the doctrines it teaches can they or any men support our Church Establishment. They believe the doctrines of the, priests, and on their assertion, that there is great spiritual destitution amongst the people, they have been trying to increase the number of churches. Then comes for public consideration the union of the all-importance of the subject with the fact , that there- is no measure 'of the spiritual wants of THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1840. the people but the assertions of the priests them- ' selves. Lay statesmen cannot possibly know of themselves what extent of religious instruction is re quired for a people, or how many parsons ca►► ad m►n►ster it ; if they did, they would be the real priests and the real ministers of salvation. If they assume to know, they sct an Act of Parliament above the Gospel. They must depend entirely for this information on those who are to be paid, aid who fix their own terms, for supplying religious instruction. If the Church be of all that importance the priest party represents, it would be cheaply purenased though the whole revenue of the State were given to the clergy, for what avails man the wealth of the world if he lose his own soul ? Looking, i n d oe d, at what the principles of those who uphold Church Es tablishments lead to, and what the priesthood actu ally possess, we are bound to praise their modera tion. They are compelled to allow other mcn to live that they themselves may be sustained ; but beyond merely keeping the labourers in life, as the Jesuits did in Paraguay, we see no reason, con sistly with the immense ►mportance assigned to the doctrine of the Church, why the priests should not be absolute masters of all the wealth of the world. To be sure some suspicion arises as to their motives, and no little suspicion overflow's from them on to their doctrinex, when it is ascertained that the beginning, the middle, and the end of the exertions of the clergy center in themselves. The singular and important question we have brought under notice, with however much of falsehood, or how ever much of truth it may be connected, has this very suspicious circumstance belonging to it—that those are enriched and those are made powerful who assume the office of providing for the intan gible, invisible, spiritual wants of mankind. We beg the attention of our readers to an article which we have copied from the Bath Herald. It appears that the " saints are doing all that they can to ruin the city of Bath, and that they are in a fair way to have their pious labours crowned with success. Mr. DA VIDGE, the enterprising lessee of the theatre, has just closed a season rendered so unprofitable by the ascetic influence of the evange lical 3 par excellence, as they arrogantly pr‘tend to be, that there is little chance of the theatre being opened at all next season. The distress which such a suspension of employment must occasion among the numerous class of persons who in one w ay or other depend upon the theatre, as well as the pernicious consequences which it must produce be yond the immediate locality of Bath, are w e ll point e d out by our Contemporai His observations on the religious par of the question are also well worthy of attention. The truth is, that the intolerant austerity assumed by the " godly of Bath is as sure a proof as can be given that they are either hypocrites or fools. The truly religious man is the most cheerful himself, and the greatest promoter of cheerfulness in others. Religion's ways, we are told, are ways of pleasant ness, but these gloomy fanatics scowl upon the innocent recreations of the people, and scare away from the paths of religion mul titudes of persons who would be attracted to them were those "Ito frt quent them to display an invit ing deportment. It t h e o bj ec t o f t h e Bath Evan ge'heals were to render religion as repulsive and dis gusting as possible —were they anxious to bring to bear against it the discontent, the disappointment, the sufferings, the curses of a large portion of the community, they could not have adopted a course better calculated to attain that end. Instead of being the friends, they ate the worst enemies of religion. We should hope, however, that there is virtue and good sense enough among the bulk of the in habitants to resist this attempt to fanaticise—we should rather sa t , to unchristianise them—and power enough to eompel yellow admirals, old dowa gers, and meddlin g priests (the greatest pests of so ciety), to say their prayers in their own way, with out molesting, their neighbours. The result of Mr. CllEsswELL's motion on Tuesday next will show whether the power and in fluence of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, supported by his colleagues, is to overt ule the de cision of the House of Commons, so that the rights of individuals are to be sacrificed to the arbitrary will of a few. But though places, pensions, and titles are at the command of the Treasury, and may have had their influence on some, still there is, for tunately for the oppressed, a majority of high minded, independent Members who scorn to have . their sense of (pity and justice dictated to by any set of Ministers. 11 Ministers quote the opinion of the Law Officers of the Clown on an ab stract question in reference to the Law of Na tions, the claimants had, on the other hand, the equally high opinioes in favour of their case of Sir W. FOLLETT, Mr. D. PoLtmcK, Dr. LCSUING TON, and Mr. CRESSWELL ; bcsides, even on the • abstract question, the celebrated BYNKERSHOEK, the treaty of Brt da with Denmark, and the answer of the Treasury itself, of the of July, 1809, to the hook debt claimants, refute the adverse op;nion g iven. In fact, the case %vas so clear that the House of Commons decided twice in favour of the claimants, notwith:,tanding all the power and tau ence of the Ministers. It is melancholy for Ciose who support Ministers in their general policy to see how the efficiency of that Ministry is lessened by obstinate perseverance in hostility, which seems to have no other motive than that arising from the vexation of defeat. For why, under pretence that the goods were landed, pay last year a class who sent their cargoes to Hol ste:n, and why refuse it this year to those who were bringing their cargoes home from the more distant ports of the Baltic sea? Surely the one s‘as more entitled to protection even titan the other, and fully • as much to compensation out of the Daniz,h prize money for lossLs occasioned by the acts of their own ' Government. • The following extract from the German 1. 3 4 p-rs just received, contains the latest news relative to the new c.unpaign undertak,n by Rus,la against the brave Cir casNiaus JASSY, Jr 1. E 13 —The latest accounts from South Russia say that the Russian expeditio n had (ff.•cted its Lanitieg near Tuabs (To..ps) without meeting %HI any particuiar obstacles. The miirs force of tho Cire.ts , ians seems to be concentrated about Nicolajewsky. In the neighbourhood of Tuabs, on the first line of hills about that fort, which lies on the river of that name, only some scaiten.d posts could he seen with the telescop e . The scouts on the coast retired rapidly, and the Russians re gained possession of the fort without striking a blow. The work of repairing it was immediately b.•gun. The heavy artillery was still there, but the light cannon was carried off by the Circassians. It is supposed that the Russians lost about forty such cannons on the forts stormed by the Circassians.

Tue lifesaver, a Ministerial Paper, contains the subjoined account of the destination of the French Em bassy in Persia A Russian courier, which left ITahan on the sth of May, brings news from our embassy in Persia. At that date, Count de Sercey, who continued to be received with the most marked favour and the highest distinction at the Shah%o Court, was preparing to return to France by way of Bagdad, Mossul, and Alexandria. The Marquis de la Valette had left lspahan in th latter end of April, with despatches for France, and was to have followed the line of road which was taken by the embassy when pre. cerding to the Shah's residence. Count Daru and Count de Beaufort were to leave M. de Sercey on the 7th of Mav, in order to explore some points in the in. tenor of Persia." M. EUGENE BORE, a French ecclesiastic who accom panied the Ambassador, has addressed a letter to the Univers, from the suburbs of Ispahan, dated the 7th of April, giving an account of the preparations made for the reception of the Embassy by the SHAH and his Court, which was fixed for the Stb. M. BORE, who, with the Marquis DE LA VALETTE, first Secretary of the Embassy, arrived in Ispahan before the Ambas sador, had the honour to be admitted to the presence of the SHAH, who received him most graciously, and pro mised the restoration of property formerly belonging to religious orders established at Ispahan. The Ambas• sailor and his suite were all to be adorned with the Order of the " Lion and Sun." A letter from Saragossa of the 23d ult., in the Phare of Bayonne says•--•• 'l:tie Queens with their suite set ou early yesterday morning for Barcelona. Their M j:•stie must have bet n much fatigued, as the populace did no• allow them a moment's repose. The Queen-Regent re• mained till two in the morning on the balcony of her hotel. to view the aquatic fete in front of it; and at four her Ms jest) , was again stirring. Thcir Majesties suff red s greatly from the heat, that they were obliged to stop at common yenta to get some water."

Between the two operas a . seleetiOn fr ,, m the ballet of La Gitana was introduced, and Taglioni advanced amidst thunders of applause. Throughout her " Nl,,zurka," and her incomparable " Cachueha," both of which were encored, she was accompanied by the con tinued plaudits of the whole 'louse. A pas de trots between Pi..rson, and Keppler, composed by the first-named most promising danseuse. was not less successful. •When the curtain dropped there was a call for Taglioni, who came forward amidst renewed acclamations. Cerito was also summoned 'oefoze the audience, but having exchanged the rich dress she had just worn for her bourgeois costume. she ventured but a few stuns from the side scenery and forthwith vanished. L' aubre concluded the evening's en tertainments. The house waa crowded in all parts, the pit being at one time thronged to suffocation. THE PRINCE S THEATRE. • JessonJa was again pla)e'd last Light by the German coopany, with the advanta ! :e of the new singer, Herr Staudigl, in the character of Tristram, formerly sustained by Poeck. The manifold beauties of this delicious opera arc now beginning to be fully understood. His voice is a bass of a fine quality, rich, round, and so norous, with a natural compass, requiring no straining . to enable him to execute without effort all the music appor tioned to the character. His style, too, is chaste, and his acting at once impaszioncd and vtithoot vulgarity. His success was unequivocal. The dresses in this opera ought not to pass unnoticed ; they are splendid, and in strict keeping with the costume of the period. To-morrow A Night in Grenada will be played for the last time. and on Wednesday Gluck's grand opera, Iphige*. which has been come time in rehearsal. in which Marlame Heinefetter and Herr Wild will support the principal as racters.

The Duke and Duchess of Beauforrs grand fto to-night, at Beaufort Hou'e, to the Que:•ri and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, will be on a scale of extraordinary splendour. Invitations have been issued for upwards of 1,000 visitors, which will include the haute noble-se, without dis tinction of party. 'fh're is every prospect co! its being the most brilliant fete of the season. The saloons have been only just completed, and are unrivalled in this metropolis for the taste and elegance of their decorations. Yesterday a ballot was taken at the East India House for the election of a Director, in the room of jobs Goldsborough Ravenshaw, Esq., deceased. At six o'clock the glasses were closed, and delivered to the scrutineers, who reported the election had fallen on Lieutenant-Colonel William Henry Sykes.

Sir John Hauker English, of Worley House, Essex, fl.ed at St. Leonard's, on Monday last; in the 63d year of his age. He was a knight of the Swedish order of Gustavus Vasa. FRENCH RAILROADS.—The activity of the French Deputies and Peers representing localities between Orleans and Nantes, Paris and the Belgian frontier, Paris and Marseilles, on the subject of railroads, has been contrasted with the inactivity that prevails in the west and part of the south of France. They not only design to connect Nantes with Paris by the line from Orleans to 'Lyons by a line from Orleans to Nantes, but also to connect Orleans to Roame, the project of law for which will be presented next Session. By the Saone and the Canal Napoleon Lyons is connected with Germany and Switzerland, and 'thus there is a complete system for allowing the ports of Nantes and Marseilles to supply the centre s..s.f France with foreign produce. On the other side AQrseilles and Cette are to be connected by a railroad, and Cette‘ easily communicates with Perpignan, so that Marseilles will thus be put in communication by railroad with Spain, Paris, Switzete land, and Germany. Such a system is desired by the represen tatives of the parts of France to which it would apply. A sur prise has been expressed that' the other deputies have not shawls equal anxiety. Bordeaux, it is suggested, might take as advan tageous a position as Havre with facility of communicatieniand now there are transatlantic packets and colonial 'produce (be sides her own), to the centre and north of France. Ihe isolated position of Bordeaux has long been remarked, but at.ch a scheme would restore bir to importance. • DUNDEE.—Trade does not improve here ; .for, although a good many linens have been sold this week, prices are as low as ev, r ; and in some instances less than our nota tions have been accepted. The export of linens iu .111ay are above 14,000 pieces short of that in the corre.pond,ng month last year, and our importation of flux, to the 20th current, is above 1,500 tons short of that to the s,me period in 1839—this falling off in the export of linens is to be attributed very_ much to the low prices of cottons, and the filling off in the impor tation of flax is owing to the high prices at which it is held abroad. The advises from Riga and St. Petersburgh - are to the (Ist) 13th current ; at the former, flax found buyets at former notations, and a parallel of DC had been sold at 'R. t' or 321. per ton on board. At St. Peter, burgh some conside rable parcels of 9 heads and 12 heads, of crop 1837, had been taken to complete cargoes of vessels, loading at It. 98 and VA and nothing whatever doing in flax t.) arrive per the barques which were expected in a few days, R. 90 continued, to be demanded for 9 beads of braak 1839, which ,is more than its value in this market ; but the long prices conceded for braak 1838, a, noted above, will no doubt have the effect of making the dealers firm in their demands ; hut which, sOoner or later, they must depart from. A much smaller eprinri bu'iness has been done than usual this seasrm in the - United States. This is no doubt partly to be attributed to the short ening of credits, thus putting an end to a speculative • de mand ; and partly to the extensi-in of manufactures in that country.—Scotsman. COAL TRADE.—The following bulletin hes been issued from the office in Blacket-street, this mornin.Z. ( Monday ) :—That in addition to the former salutary regula tions which have originated in that quarter, they have deemed it necessary for the niveniencenf themselves, and the benefit of the shp-owners, to fix the rate of freight (supposed to London. but not so stated in the bulletin) to continue for one week, viz., Shields, by vessels a-al spout. 7s. 6d. ; Hayhole scout, 7s. 7d. ; Howden Pans, 7s. 9d. ; Wallsend, Walker, &c., Bs. ; above Bill Point, Ss. 3d.— Tyne Mercury. BOSTON TOASTS.—On the arrival of the Nova Scotia steamer at Boston, the inhabitants testified their gratitude to Mr. Cunard, the spirited proprietor of this new line of communication, by a public dinner to his son, and one OT two of the toasts on the occasion, from the gond feeling and original vein they exhibit, are worthy of being transcribed. One American speaker said :—" The Unicorn has long sine* been considered an apocryphal animal, but is now knJwn as reality, and I will add, may the lion of England never lay his paw, or wag his tail, or shake his mane in anger at the Uni con' " Another wi' proposed as a toast, " The two Govern ments—Boundary lines of less consequence than Cunard's line." COURT OF COMMON COUNClL.—Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of business. Several matters were brought before the Court, but none of them possessed much public interest. It was stated that Blackfriars Bridge could be closed for a month, commencing on the 21st inst. The murder of Lord William Russell appe ars to have excited almost as much sensation in America as in England. The New York Morning herald of (he 6th of Joist , contains a woodcut purporting to be an " Exact repre sentation of the bedchamber in which he was murdered, at the moment the policeman and housemaid entered on the morning of the murder." TOWER SESSION.—At a General Quarter Ses sion, held on Thursday at the Court-house, Wellelose-squares before Mr. Walsh, the chairman, and nearly the whole of the Magistrates acting for th e prec i nct and liberties of the Tower of London, the Grand Jury presented a memorial to the Court, praying that it might adopt measures for having the important duties of steward anti coroner for the precinct and Eberly discharged by a competent and proper officer. It appears that for some time past, owing unhappily to the menial affliction of the deputy steward, who had for maul years discharged these duties, the inhabitants have bees without a Coroner, and, what is more important, withou` * steward, to empannel or swear in leet juries, and 'on two c'e three recent occasions, in cases of death in tt:e Tower, or where bodies have been found within the weenier, Mr. Baker:esti Air. Payne were obliged to be called in to hold inquests upon them. The Clia,rman, after consulting with the Magistrates present, told the Jury that the subject should he taken into consideration, and the result communicated on the adjourned day. The Bench subsequently passed an address of congratu lation to her Majesty and Prince Albert on their escape Dora assassination. There are at present no fewer than 19 ves:•els at London loading for Sydney, N, W South Wales; 11 for Van Diemen's Land ; 20 for Madras and Calcutta; 4 for Bombay. and 15 fur the Cape of Good Hope and the Mauritius. A serious riot has occurred at 11.4*;eal het v, in the county of Cork. It originated in a shipment of p;Aatoes for Dingle. The sk u l l o . t h e constable of the pollee was fractured by a stone His patty the n fi le d on t h e populace one sho t taking eff,'at ot. the th ig h o f one o f t h e assailants. The v,lica were ultimately overpowered, and it is stated that the, con stable has sine died, and the sub -constable is despaired of. The inhabitant:, of an inn at R milers, in Bel" gium, were surprised in their beds a few nights ago by the house being on fire, And were bliged to make their escape in their night clothes. The ycung mother of Iwo children.ia the terror 01 the mom, nt came away with only one of them, a n in fant at her breast, but the panic almost instantly subsided, an d recollecting the other was left behind, she laid her infant on the Around, and rushed into the flames to save the other, or rather to perish herself, as every one pre-ent felt confident would be her fate. Her c , usage and affection were, however, rewarded ; for in a few minutes she returned wdh the child in her at rin.. though her own face vas scorched her hair singed, and her F Cant) covering in flames. She had scarcely got clear of the house wlien the 'wind(' building fell a burning mass of ruins. RA I LWA Y SPEED.—AI the m11011:4011 of the fete to otelebrate the opening of the South-Western Railway, the Chaplin et gine, with one carriage, was despatched from Southampton at a quarter to eight o'clock, stopped at Basing stoke eight minutes, at Woking six minutes, and arrived at the the Nine Elms terminus at four minutes pat ten, performing the whole journey of seventy-six m.les iu the short space of two hours and five minuet. By a Royal Ordinance, dated June 28, the Com pany of th., railroad from Paris to Rouen is legally constituted, under the direction of Messrs. Chat les Latitte, Blount, and Co.
