. cor sciv oo' EVENING EDITION. GENERAL ASSEMBLY. The General Assembly of he Church of Scotland assembled on Thursday. As usual, Lord Be:haven, her Majesty's Commissioner, held a levee in Holyrood House, which was numerously attended, there being no fewer that three hundred and twenty Noblemen and Gentlemen present. After sermon by the Rev. Dr. Duncan, Moderator • of last Assembly, his Grace the Lord High Commis sioners, with the members of the Assembly, returned to the Tron Church, when the chair was taken by Dr. Duncan. On the roll of members being read over by the r.gent, when he' came to the returns for the Presbytet y of Strathhogie, Mr. DUNLOP rose and said, he thought necessary to intimate now, that before they proceeded to the election of -Moderator or anything else, he should propose that the names returned by the Presbytery of Strathbogie be not called. The Roll having been called, Mr. DUNLOP said he should now propose that those names be not called. They were not now to enter into the validity of the Commission, and therefore he did not mean to say whether Mr. Hope or-Sir James Forrest Were to be considered as the elders from the presbytery of Strathbogie. The Assembly knew nothing of the parties by whom either were elected ; the clerk had en rolled them both ; and, therefore, so far as they were concerned, it was to be considered as a double return. But with respect to the ministers returned, the case was very different, for they stood at that moment suspended from the functions of their office by a sentence of the Commission of the General Assembly. That sentence might be set aside, as being beyond the powers of the Commission, but until it was so set aside it must be re cognized by every Church Court as a valid sentence. Dr. Coos: said they were not formally constituted, and they knew nothing as an Assembly of what was done by the Commission till their records were laid in a formal manner upon the table, or till certain pa pers transmitted by those Reverend Gentlemen ware transmitted to them by the Committee on Bills. Were they in possesion of all the requisites that were neces sary for forming a judgment on this, the most momen lons and important subject that ever came under the consideration of the Assembly? Suppose that they she old be pushed to enter upon the merits of this question, while many of them were in ignorance of all the faets in the case, it might turn out, after they had decided, when they had obtained additionalinformation, that :hey had pronounced a sentence which they them selves were forced to condemn. Under these circum stances, be was clearly of opinion that they should nut allow eith. , r the one party or the other to vote till their Commissiori were regularly returned, and by that time th e y would have the papers before them, and would be Perfectly prepared td meet the gentlemen on the me rits of the question. He intreated gentlemen, by a regard to the peace and trlnquillity of their proceed ings, that the matter should not be discussed now ; but that both parties should be suspended, or both allowed N) tender their votes under protest, which came to the sacoe thing. After some desultory discussion, the Procurator sug gested that Dr. Cook's plan should be agreed to, allow ing b o th parties to vote under protest, which was agreed to. ELECTION OF MODERATOR. The Moine...Too said that it bad been the custom, for a number of veers past, - fo - r the last Moderator to Propose his success er ; but circumstances, to which it was unnecessary for him farther to allude, made him feel it to be his duty to decline the task. Dr. P. MACFARLAN proposed Dr. Hill of Dailly. He noticed that Rev. Gentleman's eminent qualifica tions for the office—qualLications acknowledged by opponents ; and censured the departing from the usual mode of electing the Moderato!. Sir C. D. FERGUSON seconded the motion. Principal DEWAR proposed Dr. M'Kellar of Pent caitland, who, he remarked, united :softness anti gentle- Oen of manners with firmness—a combination of quali ties especially necessary at the present emergency. Mr. BUCHAN of Kelloe seconded the motion. Dr. CEIALMERS said, when the proposition first to op- Pose De, Hill was made, I think, in December last, it met with sty strongest disapprobation. I felt that such an attempt might be in the highest degree injurious to the cause which was intrusted to a Committee of last Ge nera l Assembly. I stood aloof for three months — A I saw an accusation made against Dr. Hill, that he had put his mime to a document which, I believe, if it were carried out into effect, would prove the death warrant of our Church Establishment. And that, loot by the hand of external violence, but by the vo!un tary surrender from within, of the spiritual to the civil Power. I was staggered by that charge so distinctly made, and I made no secret of what I felt. I said openly, that if this charge weretrue I would not vote for Dr. Hill to be Moderator. I made the requisite inquiries into its truth, and after that, to my infinite regret, I ascertained the fact. I wrote to Dr. Hill to say I could not support him I had rejoiced in the prospect of fighting the Little of the Church side by side,—there is no differ ence in our principles—the only difference is in our objects.—(Laughter.) I confess that, apart from all tironsiderations of the substantive good or harm of the ,position, it does appear to me to be violently out of l ee ring, to commence our business by electing a Mode eutor hostile to that principle, which, I trust, it will be *he disOsguishing glory of this Assembly to perfect and to establish. Let us suppose that in virtue of some controversy, it had been the work of this commencing Assembly to enforce and assert some leading article of ov r confession --say the divinity of Christ—l ask, what `would be thought should you commence your proceed ings by elevating t o the Moderator's chair, a minister bores that body—(Cries of " No, no," and " Hear, hur")—who, but a few w eeks or months before, had writtekt a book—(Loud cries ot . i• Order," and" Hear") ----7inetvred with Socinianism, an one of whose bad innag,chapt ers was an explicit avowa l of the heresy ? Thou gh ye are not called on to do this— ,Lette'h it .1, not a vital theological principle, still it is a vita) ecclesi astical principle with which we have to eo. It is th e divinity, but what in professional language is termed The, Headabip s of the Lord :esus Christ ; and the treat spiritual task which circumstances have de volved on this Assembly, is to define and defend the limits within which, as the substantial and exclusive ju risdiction of the Church, no civil power shall be suffered to enter. Now the declaration to which 1 have alluded forstalls the Assembly—having undertaken our work, it has done it wrong. It was a few weeks no that I near,' of Another declaration being in progress through the Church,—not like the former, vitally wrong in Principl e , but so far wrong in sound and rig ht policy, that h a d Dr . M'Kellar signed that document I would have had great difficulty in supporting him. I wrote to Dr. M'Kellar, and, to my'-infinite relief and enlarge !).t, I learned from himse lf that he bad no connec tion with it. He is not the representative of any section or sub-section of this house, and, while lie is a firm and t . tneielding friend of the Non•intrusion principle , he is ire; 'o entertain any proposition for giving effect to it, Wheth e r it may come from a Bill by Lord Aberdeen, or from any other quarter or point of the political c o mpass. There was, however, one overt act with which Dr. *Kellar stood notoriously charged, which was most honourable to hie'', and which marks him out. as the most proper representative of the Church in. this most arduous crisis. Vu a memorable occasion, when the Presbytery of Ddekeld was before the bar of the Court of Session, Dr. Mq.i.ellar stood by their slde.—(Loud applause.) He did there what, I know, he may be called to do again. He lifted up his calm and intre pid front before the scowl of offended Judges and the sneers of u ngodly men.. (freers.) He knew how to meet the displeasure of the Court, and the insolence of the c rowd, with that dignified bearing which ought ever to enitinguish a Christian minister. Mr. Gibbon of Lommay, and Mr. Bisset of 13ourtie, supported the motion. Mr. Binnie objected to the Thole system of the initiative of the Moderator's elec tion. Mr. Brown of Largo supported Dr. 11I'Kellar ; and Dr. Simpson, at some length, explained his rew..ons for voting for Dr. Hill. The house bciog impatient for a division, Dr. Macfarlan replied, after which the vote was taken, when 195 voted for Dr. M-Kellar and 147 for Dr. Hill. Dr. M'Kellar was then introduced and took his seat. His Grace the Commissioner then addressed the As sembly. He said, it had pleased her Majesty rgain to appoint him to represent her Royal person and authority in this Assembly, and her Majesty had com manded him to express to them the high respect which het: M a jesty entertained for everything that concerns the Church of Scotland. Her Majesty relied with un doubted confidence on their zealous exertions in pro *kiting the best interest of the country. Her Majesty 'Was too well Aware of the vast benefits which the People of Scotland had for a long time c'erived from the Established Church in the land, and which had Proved, under Providence, the source of all their pro sperity and happiness, not to feel more . then ordi narily a nxious respecting the peculiar circumstances which they were recently placed ; and while Tier Majesty recognised, in the fullest manner their undoubted right to discuss with entire freedom eve r y subject which might come b ;fore thorn, (and ,fie was commanded by her IVlejesty. to afford them sevry facility for doing so,) her Majesty trusted that the:le deliberations would be conducted with that calM ness, decorum, and moderation, which was also a pecu liar distincOon of their venerable body. Her Majesty sincerely prayed that all their discussions might tend to the glory of God,— !o the peace and tranquillity of the Church,—end to the ppiness and prosperity of the land. It s hould be his study to do everything in his Power that would conduce to t::* comfort and con • cvernenee during their sittings. He he: e concluded by Presenti n g the usual Royal donation of 2,0 0 /. for the ropagation of the Gospel in the Highlands. 'rho Moderator replied to the several topics adverted to in his Grace's speech ; but in so low a tone as ren dered his address inaudible where we were sitting. After disposing of some routine business, the As sembly adjourned about 6 o'clock. FRIDAY, MAY 22. Thi s d a y was, as usual, chiefly oceup7ed in devotional exercises. CONVERSION OF THE JEWS. Mr. CANDLISII having read the report of the As. sembly's Committee on this subject, Mr. DUNLOP suggested, that as several members of the recent deputation to Palestine were present, it would be highly agreeable if these Reverend Gentlemen would address the House. Dr. KEITH and Mr. M.CIiEvNE then severally de livered eloquent addresses, upon the condition of the scattered tribes of Israel which had come under their observation in Palestine and other parts of the east, visited by the deputation. They pointed out what they considered the most suitable places for missionary labours ; and remarked that Mehemet Ali, as had been stated by Dr. Bryce, had promised to permit the Jews, in any numbers, to return to the land of their fathers, and, if able to do so, to purchase pro perty there, assuring them of the same protection mt - un liberty as that enjoyed lay his Matiomeian subjects. Whatever weight might be given to the word of this remarkable man, Mr. M'Cleeyne said the fact was cer tain, that thoughout the con ntries over which he ruled, Christian Missionaries had received hitherto full pro tection and liberty to prosecute their labours. Judea, notwitstanding that their t ribes were scattered over every country, was still considered the centre of the Jewish world, and the deputation considered that to be the most eligible quarter whe ron to plant Missionary stations. They therefore proposed to have three stations in that district, and also to have one in the Grand Duchy of Posen, one at Syrnzna, and one at Constan tinople. 1111. M'Cheyne then proceeded to point out what they considered to be the best mode of Missionary operations, recommending especially that they ,should, after the example of the Lord and his Apostles, be sent out two and two together ; and next, as far as possible to teach the Hebrew children to reach the word of God and understand it, when, this being done, they anticipate that the doctrines of the Talmud would be instantly repudiated, and Judaism fall to the ground. Each of the Rev. Gentlemen con cluded his address by an eloquent appeal to the reli gious feel ngs and sympathies of the Church on behalf of the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Mr. BUCHAN of Kelloe, seconded by Mr. ROBERT sor; of Ellon, moved that the Assembly approve of the report, and return its thanks to the Rev. Gentlemen who had addressed the House, which was unanimously agreed to, and the thanks communicated to the Depu tation by the Moderator. On the recommendation of Mr. CANDLISH, the As sembly also resolved to memorialize her Majesty's Go vernment to interfere on behalf of the persecuted Jews of Damascus, The Assembly adjourned at five o'clock till twelve o'clock next day. SATURDAY, ➢IAY 23. The following order of business was agreed to : TUESDAY.—The Strathbogie case. WEDNESDAY.—The Report of the Non-Intrusion Committee, and overtures on that subject. ASSEMBLY HALL. Mr. DUNLOP gave in a verbal report of the Commit tee on this matter. He entered into a detail of the negotiations which have been carried on between the Committee and the Government and the Town Council, as to the building of a hall not in connection with one of the city churches, which Government still continued to refuse to sanction. The Committee recommended the Assembly to accept of the offer to build a hail in connection with one of the city churches on the Castle hill. Mr. D. said, that if the offer were accepted, it ought to be on the condition that any alteration sug gested by the Committee for the accommodation of the Assembly should be attended to. After some conversation as to the framing of the mi nute, the House unanimously agreed to approve of the report, and accede to the proposal to build an Assembly Hall in connection with one of the city churches on the Castle Hill, on the distinct understanding and condition that whatever alterations the Committee may suggest on the plan, in regard to the internal arrangements of the said Hall, should be carried into operation and that the Committee shall be satisfied in regard to the right of occupation. REPORT OF COLONIAL COMMITTEE. Principal MACFARLAN read the report of the Com mittee fur promoting the religious interests of Scottish Presbyteries in the Colonies, which was a document of great length, containing statements of the deepest inte rest, which we have no doubt will be laid before the public in a printed form. The Reverend and Learned Principal having finished the reading and bande'i the document to the Chair, made some observations of the annual progress which had been made by the Committee since its organization in its present form four years ago. Their correspond ence bad extended to all parts of the world where British colonies were planted, as well as to several foreign co lonies. The extent of their labours had indeed been great—those of the Acting Committee meeting in Ellin burgh had been unceasing ; and it was gratifying to state, that the liberality of their countrymen, in coun tenancing and supporting these _labours, had advanced in proportion with the necessity for exertion. As a proof of this the Rev. Principal stated, that in the first year of the Committee's existence, the subscriptions in its behalf had been 1,3501.; in the second year, 1,935/. ; in the third year, 2,831/. ; and in the past year they amounted to upwards of 2,9051. To their countrymen abroad, the Committee had also been greatly indebted for the success of their exertions—and he trusted to the continued liberality of their countr) men, both at home and abroad, in enabling the Committee to ad vance and perpetuate the great cause of spreading the lights of Christianity and of civilization to the farthest islands of the sea. Dr. NORMAN MiLEon, in a speech of much fervid eloquence, moved that the report be approved of, and the thanks of the Assembly given to the Committee, through its excellent Convener, who had just sat down. Dr. COOK said that, after the able report which had been read, and the eloquent manner in which it had been followed up, he meant merely to second the motion. However, be could not help exp ressing the great satis faction he felt at the establishment of a University in Canada. Without such an institution, the great object tne Church had in view could not be fully accoin wo._ pli So she m d :. pressLd in Parment: o refer en lia e having been made to the op inions ex _on the subject of the Clergy Re serves, however much de- Principal MACFARLAN said, tha. lighted he was with the judgment prone,.. once to the Clergy Reserves, he hoped it womu out to the public, that the Church of Scotland had ex pressed anything - like gratitude to the Judges for their dec:so n. -"riced in refer ' 3 not go The Report having been approved of, the Moderator conveyed the thanks of the House to PrincipalMacfarlan. DISPUTED COMNIIasIoNS. The Assembly took up the Report of the Committee on disputed commissions. After disposing of several cases they carne to that of Dr. Bryce, who had been appointed to represent the burgh of Inverury. Tee ob jection to the commission was, that according to the Act passed in 1839, excluding retired ministers from sitting in the Assembly as ruling elders, unless " Teachers or Professors of Theology," or bona fide acting elders, Dr. Bryce could net sit in the Assembly as ruling elder, he not being a teaching elder. The Committee recommended that the commission be sustained, and after a good deal of discussion, it was ultimately agreed to sustain the commission, with the understanding that in future cases the Act of 1839 wes to apply to the ex clusion of retired ministers who were not acting elders, or Professors of Theology. Benoit Or DUNDEE.—The commissio❑ of Mr. Blair, as representative for this burgh, was rejected for infor mality in the election. UNIVERSITY or GLASGOW.—The election of Dr. Fleming as representative to this University was oh jccted to, on the ground that there was not a legal 1 quorum of the Senatus present, and that the minute of meeting of the Ist of May, the day on which the elec tion was alleged to have taken place, bears no not;ee of that fact. Dr. Cook and Dr. Cooper, members of the Senatus Academicus, who were not present on the day of election, brought these objections before the As sembly, and its Committee, after considering them, re solved by a majority to receive the Commission. After some discussion, the Assembly resolved (99 to 78) that the matter be remitted to their Commlttee to take evidence and report. Button or LEITIL—The Committee recommended that the Commission from the Burgh be rejected, which was agreed to without discussion. The consideration of the Strathbogie Commission was postponed till Monday. The Ass( mbly then, at half-past ten o'clock, ad journed till eleven o'clock on Monday. MONDAY, MAY 25. The only matter of importance on Monday was the charge of heresy against Mr. Wright of Borthwick. After a discussion of some length, the Assembly found the libel relevant, and referred back the case to the Presbytery, with instructions to hear him in his de fence, and if necessary go to proof, and report to the next Assembly. Yesterday the great question came on, the appeal of the ministers of Stratbbogie against the legality of the sentence of suspension pronounced by the Commission. Mr. Patrick Robertson was heard for ministers, and made a powerful speech. He was fol lowed by Dr. Cook, the greatest living authority in the Kirk on constitutional questions, who contended that the Commission had exceeded its powers, and moved that its decision be reversed and rescinded. A counter motion was made by the Procurator, declaring that the Commission had not acted ultra vices, and dis missing the appeal. After a long debate, the latter motion was carried by 217 to 14;3. Tne question, it will be observed, was entirely as to the powers of the COM mission, rii'::ewnielax what shall question be done be na th t determined by the suspendedAssem ministers. The discussion on this point is delayed till Thurs d ay (y o terduy).—Scolsinan of Wednesday. RESTRAINTS ON MARRIAGE.----We herr to call the attention of our readers to an advertisement in another part of our paper relating to restraints on marriage, W hi c h we liope to see shortly placed upon some certai❑ basis, consistent with sound reason and good sense. ME SUN, LONDON, FRTDAY, MAY 29, 1840. INQUEST UPON CAPTAIN °TWAY, R. N. At seven o'clock last evening an inquisition was taken upon the body before Mr. Hines, at the Georg.: the Fourth Tavern, Montpelier-square, Knightsbridge. There were several persons of rank rresmt - during the investigation ; and the Jury having bees sworn to inquire into the death of Captain Waller Oz way, they proceeded to the hospital ward of Keightsbridge l-ar racks, where the body was deposited in a shell. The deceased's face was extremely thin and pallid. His rge was stated to be 36. And the Jury having performed this unpleasant part of their duties, returned to the inquest room, where the following witnese3 w..lre ex amined : Michael Manning sworn.—l am groom to Lord Charles Clinton, and was following his Lordship down Rotten-row, Hyde-park, on Friday afternoon about six o'clock, when I observed the deceased on horseback on the green. When I first saw him the horse was in the act of rearing up, and the deceased pulled the reins, and the horse fell backwards. and the rider was under neath. I went up immediately, and several other ser vants and gentlemen also rendered assistance. Inc deceased was perfectly insensible, and appeared to be very much injured. I gallowd etr to the barracks for assistance, and he was conveyed thither, and remained there until his death. He was placed in the officers' room. By the Jury—Two or three other gentlemen were riding near the deceased, but I did not see any of them cross him when his horse reared up. Ido not know what caused the horse to rear up, but I believe it vas purely accidental. The CORONER said he should like to see the medical gentleman next. The summoning officer replied that he was not in attendance. A corporal of the Life Guards stated that Sir Ben jamin Brodie, Sir Asticy Cooper, and Dr. Campbell, the regimental surgeon, had made a poSt mortem exa mination of the body, and had written out their evi dence for the purpose of its being laid before the Coro ner and Jury- The CORONER said he could not revive tie docu ment in evidence unless some oce of those gentlemen was present to be sworn to the truth. Corporal Cecil, of the Ist Regiment of Life G eards, stated that he was present when the pest mortem exa mination was made, and he saw that the bones of the pelvis were completely broken, and a pertion of the bone perforated the bladder. . . . After some discussion it was determi.ied to take the corporal's evidence, as all the surgeons we;e some dis tance from the Court. Charles Thomas Cecil was then sworn, and said—l am hospital-corporal of the Ist regiment of Horse Guards. The deceased, who was a stranger to me, was brought into the officers' house in Hyde Park barracks soon after the accident happened, and he remained there until he died. Sir Benjamin Brodie attended Captain Otvo.y about an hour after he was brought into the barracks, and Sir Astley Cooper arrived within two hours afterwards. Dr. Campbell and Dr. Burned, the regimental surgeons, also had the deceased under their care. 1 attended the decnsed in the officers' house, and he suffered very much during the time he remaieed there. At times he was se:isible, and he told me it vas an accident. I was present at the post-martern exami nation, and am satisfied he died of a rupture of the bladder. George Reeve, regimental servant to the Horse Guards, examined. I was looking out of one of the windows in the officers' house at the time the accident took place. I did not sec the deceas2d fall, Lit I saw him soon afterwards. In a few urinates there were a great number of persons collected round him. I ran up and saw that the lower part of his boly was covered with blood, and he appeared to be in dreadful pain, and said, "if anybody touched him there (pointing to his abdomen) he should We." He was sensible, and told those about him it was an accident. Tile horse did not run away, but stopped and began feeding. The Coroner remarked that it showed the animal was not a vicious one. Hugh Douglas Grace sworn—l am &erk to the Ist Life Guards. The horse the deceased rode was his own property, and he expressed a desire that it should be sold, and the proceeds appropriated to a nasal charity. CORONER—Did he make a will ? Witness—Only e verbal one he expressed to his mother, father, and sisters. By a Juror—Was the son of Admiral Sir Rabe: t Otway. He was perfectly sober at the time. Corporal Grace here remarked that the deceased only obtained his captaincy on the day of the melancholy occurrence, and Lord Clarence Paget, a brother cap tain, who was with him at the time, did not leave the unfortunate gentleman's bedside from the time be was brought into the barracks until he died. Indeed, the accident caused such a sensation, that the Queen, Prince Albert, and the Duke and Duchess of Cam bridge, sent hourly to inquire after Captain Otivay's condition, and the Duke of Wellington also sent several times. The officers of the Guards nad likewise slaawa the greatest attention and brotherly feeling to the de ceased. Colonel Cavendish gave up his suite of apart. mets in the barracks to Admiral Otway, and Colonel Hill most cheerfully resigned his to Lady °Ewa) , and her daughters. In short, every attention possible was paid to him and his family. Toe Jury then briefly consulted together, and re turned a verdict of—" Accidental death, with a deo dand of Is. upon the horse." EGYPT. ALE/ANDRIA, APRIL _6._ The Pacha is straining every nerve to re-fill his treasury, and has ordered another payment of the Ferdi, or Poll-tax ; he also ordered a postage of one piaster a drachm weight for each letter sent through his post to and from Cairo. This will be a very great coo venience to us Europeans, as the Paella's mail is transported in th;rty hours between these towns, it has hitherto only been open to the Consuls and a few of the merchants. His Highness has just sent an order to Sennaar for the immediate levy of 10,000 more :Tacks, who are to be sent as soor. as caught to Cairo. He has also ordered the seizure, purchase is the word used in the order, of all the grain in the upper country. 'rills year's crop is very abundant ; but it is expected that more than one-half of it will be lost in consequence of —.int of labourers to gather it. The few who have not " - 4 for soldiers have left thr. aUL - •tee desl V lt . l,Vi e t t. ll the e li ir ed v o il u fa ins e , s' been seat,- L , still persevered in, and hidden themselves in .. enrolment of the Civic Guam ' the. Pacha has given great offence to LV..I 1 204 of in vincih!es, by ordering their beards to Iv pat off. It is very amusing to see these poor devils wal. l / 4 44 ►niN a barber's shop. with beards which would have done honour to the patriarchs of old, and in two minutes re appear with their chins as smooth, though not a► fair, as a damsel's of 16 ; these worthy soldiers positively shed torrents of tears at their loss. A few days since about 50 or 60 C:iristians were seized by the Government for '° katibs" (clerks). Many of them were highly respectable merchants, and not clerks ; they were imprisoned in the citadel with chains round their necks and feet, and then marched to the Nile, where they were put on board boats, still in iro[:s. and sent off to Sennaar, where they are to refiilin and keep the Paella's accounts. This is of course not despo tism, but fatherly care—a desire to employ the needy. A merchant vessel ha; just arrived at Suez, with coal from England. By her we learn that the Paella is withdrawing all his trcops from the Hedjas. bawd Pacha has already evacuated Odeida. Mahomed Aii has also recalled the troops from Jedda and Mocha. Every thing is now quiet at Aden ; the Arabs have at length got tired of keeping up the siege, and our troops now get plentifully supplied with the products of the country. The evacuation of the Hedjas by the Paella, wilt be the making of Aden ; the merchants are all pre paring to take up their residences there, and we are sure of having the whole coffee trade in our hands. It is impossible to imagine how valuable Aden may br come to us—as a military possession it is the key of the Red Sea, containing two safe and capacious harbours. As a mercantile station it will become the emporium for the trade of Arabia and Africa, and yet our Govern. ment is hesitating about the expense of erecting proper and sufficient fortifications. Why, three years posses sion of this, to England, invaluable bit of land, will repay all sums that may be expended for its defence. The Paella has quitted Alexandria for the Delta, Lnd has sent his harem to Cairo. An exceedingly respectable meeting assembled on Tuesday, at the Adelphi Hotel, to hear an exposition of the principle adopted by the Metropolitan Patent Wood-pavement Company, by Mr. J. Lee Stevens, who also exhibited models of the invention. Upon the motion of the Worshipful the Mayor, the Chair was taken by John Holmes, Esq. Ctiairtn-0 to the Board of Commissioners for Highways; and after an address of some length from Mr. Stevens, that gentleman answered many and very detailed questions to the appal out satisfaction of the querists, (among whom were many scuattific and practical men), and the meeting unanimously passed are. t i l e n n s solution approving of the scientific principle thus successfully Patent ve and profitable Wood-pavement illustrated, and thanking the expositor for the lucid explana tions and ample information furnished by him. It was stated Company are works, doubt, from and there appears to be no the very general feeling at the mee ting alr th ea a d t y t e h r e ,g ll ag le e t d ro in po e l manifested on the occasion, that a specimen, at least, of this pleasant and useful pavement will very soon be laid down in Liverpool.— Gore's General Advertiser. Hyde Park, yesterday, was thronged from five to seven. All the leading politicians were in the rides and drives. The venerable Earl Grey and his daughter, the Lady Georgina, were among the equestrians. The veteran Statesman was looking well. The Duchess of Roxburghe drove herself in her unique britska phaeton. Yesterday nearly 150 workmen commenced re moving the green sward in the Green Park, St. James's, in numerous places, preparatory to digging the earth, for the pur pose of levelling the ground for the intended improvements. Shrubberies, tastefully laid out, serpentine gravel walks, a n d a grand carriage drive from Piccadilly to Buckingham Palace, are to be made Hundreds of loads of earth are being removed from Trafalgar-square into the Green Park, for the purpose of filling up the ditch at the back of the Ranger's lodge. Several elegant porters' lodges are to be built, and superb entrance gates are also in preparation. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. PRICES OF CANAL,DOCK, ASSUR ANCE COMPANY SHARES &c. &c.

(From the Globe.) Lord John Russell last night moved fop leave to bring in a Bill for the prevention of bribery and treat ing at elections. His Lordship had previously stated, in the debate on the Ludlow writ, ae leading provi sions of the measure, to Which we drew public attention at the time. - ,The Noble Lord now announced his in tention to introduce into it a provision, that if bribery or treating were practised before an election, the ad verse candidate might give notice that his opponent was committing those offences, ano that either the bribery or the treating, if afterwards proved before the Com mittee, should, unseat the one canditate, and,substi tate the other, in the same way as where notice is given that a candidate wants the requisite qualifica tion. We hail with approbation this attempt to stay the plague. The necessity of applying immediately some check to the prevailing practices by which the purity and freedom of election have been rendered a mockery, and by which, if allowed to proceed, the old system of borough:nongering will be restored under ;knew form, is now admitted by all -.vho are not either the bribers or the bribed. We arc by no means sanguine as to the efficiency- of the proposed measure : its failure, should such be the result, will, however, demonstrate yet more clearly the inveteracy of the disease, and convince thos e who are most o pp ose d t o ot h er measures, such as the Ballot, of the necessity of their adoption. (From the Standard.) We regard with great suspicion the proposition .of Mr. Hutt for the appointment of a Committee upon the grading of bonded corn, and must, therefore, regret that the motion of the Hon. Member was successful. Prima facie the object is too trifling to excite much interest, f nothing toy'air 15 conle4lated, but there appears to be a very great anxiety to carry the point ; and therefore it is that suspicions are awakened. A loose permission to grind corn in bond would practically repeal the Corn laws, but a strict and efficient guard over the operation would seem to leave the indulgence worth nothing. A great deal will, of course, depend upouthe,P9'W-r"ti°n of the Committee; a elceted, b u t we. •niickpate nothing from its labours, but nadre or less'_ of disappointment to the parties moving the question. If the Commit tee try to obtain an opportunity of smuggling foreign corn into domestie,oonsumption—as if the ma• jority arc mill-owners or money-jobb ers , they certaiuly will—no Bill recommended by them will ever becotne , a taw it, on the other hand, the Committee provide that no more than is ostensibly asked for shall be of tained, they who expect a great deal more than osten sibly they ask for will be grievously disappointed—and they, we believe, are the movers of the question. In short, the Committee appears to us to be incapable of doing any material good, and it may do mischief. (From the courier.) We have, perhaps, more frequently than most of our daily contemporaries, approached questions bearing on Colonial affairs, those referring to Canada more espe cially, and we have ever endeavoured to come to their consideration without party bias in any shape or colour, being entirely of accord with the Times of this morning in the opinion often expressed heretofore in the Courier, that the Canada Union Bill, as any other vitally affect ing colonial interests, " is not, or alight not to he; a pall," measure," It is,in this spirit that we trust to 000 the Canada Union Bill discussed this evening on both sides of the House. The time is clearly come when some decisive action must be taken one way or the other in respect of a final settlement of the constitutional forms under which the Canadas are Co be iovernod 'fur the future, and this necessarily in-VoiVcii the solutioa of.

FREMANTLE, a new writ was ordered for the county of Radnor, in the room of Walter Widtins Dc Wilton, Esq., deceased. On the motion of the same HON. BALONET, a new writ was likewise issued for the borough of Sudbury, in the room of Sir John Walsh, rho had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds. __ BRITISH GUIANA. Mr. GLADSTONE said, in answer to a question of his the other night, the Noble Secretary for the Co lonies had declined to produce a despatch to the Go nernor of British Guiana, respecting the increased Civil List. . By the last mail papers had arrived, which were already printed, and before the public, containing the despatch in question. Would the Noble Lord now have any objection to produce the despatch with such other. paper s as be mi g ht thi n k expedient LT - rd.. RUSSELL said he had not yet heard from the Governor, and he should wish to wait. Mr. GLADSTONE asked if no despatches bad ar rived by the last mail? Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to reply in the affirmative. EGYPT AND ASSYRIA. Mr. FECTOR asked if there was any hope of Dr. Bowrintes . : Report relative to Egypt and Assyria being laid on the table of the House,, and in an unmutilated state.—( Laughter, and hear.) . Lord PALMERSTON said he could § 0 far console the Honourable Member as to state that the Report had been returned to Dr. Bowring for the purpose of his s u p er i n t en di ng t h e pr i nt i ng of it. Ile. (Lord Palmerston) had, however, been compelled to strike out some short passages in the Report, containing poli tica! speculations of the Author, considering that if the Doctor wished to write a pamphlet about his own opinions upon political matters he ought not to do it at the public expense.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) The report, however, would contain every . informationpf a commer cial nature. NAPLES. Major CUMMING BRUCE begged to ask the .Nob:e Secretary . for Foreign Affairs whether he could give any information to the House in regard to the obstructions alleged to have been thrown in the way of the Protestant worship on the part of .the British resi dents at Naples. Lord PALMERSTON said difficulties had arisen in consequence of the strict laws of Naples forbidding any other than .Catholic public worship in that country. For.a long course Of time the Consul-General devoted an apartment in his House for, he worship of the British residents ; and when the offiCe of Consul-General was . abolished, and a Consul, with a reduced salary, was ap pointed, similar accommodation was still furnished in the Consul's house. At last, however, the number of the British residents increased so much, that a new building was required. The consent of the Neapolitan Govern ment was at first obtained for its erection, but, acted upon by other influences, after, the first stone had been laid, that consent was retracted. Some of the British residents still endeavoured to procure a., room to be fitted up as a chapel, hut even this the. Neapolitan Government interfered to prevent..--In eg . otia i• tions had been for some timeon with regard to a commercial 'wnia, however, had . been broken of ny the sulphur 'question. He hoped thei w i rfat soon come to some arrangement with the NitP.politzul Government on the subject of freedom of feligious worship for the British residents at Noisiec and the remov a l o f t h e gr i evances of wh ic h the tion, Gentleman complained. TRANSPORTATION. Lord MAHON wiShed to ask the Noble Lord the Secretary for the ColOnies, if he *mild have any objection to lay on the table . of the House the Order in Council recently issued Ain the subject of transportatiOn to New South Walei. Lord JOHN RUSSELL would not object to its .productio n if the Noble Lord.' would' move for it. On the motion of Lord MAHON an address to her Majesty, praying that she would-be graciously pleased to order the copy of the said Order in Council to be laid before that House, was agreed to: THANKS TO THE CHAPLAIN. On the oration of Lord John RUSSELL, the thanks of tha Heuse were voted to the Chaplain for a sermon preacite; r litiore the House this day. MALTA.' Mr. ENV ART wished to ask the Secretary of the Colonies whether he would object to lay before the House the Report of the Commissioners appointed to investigate into the state of Malta, more particularly with regard to the subject on which he some time since . presented a petition to the House ; he meant on the subject of the establishment of a repre sentative assembly in the island. . . Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the Commissioners had not made any report on the subject, but ithey.had given in a statement, and had acquainted him with their reasons for postponing the publication of a Report. Mr. I:\V ART wished to know if the Noble Lord had any objection to lay those reasons before the House. Lord JOHN RUSSELL did not believe the reasons were mentioned in the statement, but he would look it over to ascertain. CANADA GOVERNMENT BILL. Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved that the Order of the Day forthe House resolving itself into a Committee .on the Canada Government Bill be now read. Mr. GOULBURN said, he would take that op portunity of presenting a petition. which he had only received two hours since from Lower Canada, expressing an opinion adverse to the passing of the Bid. He wished to state that he did so, merely from the circumstance of the petition having been transmitted to him from Canada ; and as the petition was signed by 39,000 individuals, he th9ught it his duty to lose no time in presenting it. The petitioners stated that from thcfirst theyhad observed that the Governor-General had stated in his despatch ~that the re-union of the two Provinces was appreve , _, of by the inhabitants of Lower Canada. The.lntitioners stated that they were unaware of any step' s that had been taken to ascertain the feelings of . ti!..e inhabitants of that Province, except by calling a were council, of whi c h not above half of the Metn. l- Jers were present. The peti tioners further stated that the Council did not repre sent the feelings of the inhabitants, and they particu larly adverted to the statement that had been made in that House, that the former Bill was - •postponed for the purpose of ascertaining the opinions of the inhabitants of Upper Canada on the subject, and they regretted that a similar course had not been taken to ascertain the opinions of the inhabi tants of Lower Canada. The petitioners stated their belief, that after the long separation of the Provinces, their union would only produce disunion and confusion, and would be detrimental to the best interests of both the Canadas. The petition also stated, that many of the assertions in Lord Durham's Report relative to the disputes that had taken place in the Provinces were founded in error and, in conclusion, the petitioners prayed that the Bill might not pass into a law. The Hon. Member moved that the petition should be laid on the table. The petition was then ordered to lie on the table. Mr. PAKINGTON then rose to move the amend meat of which he had given notice. He was duly sen sible of the great difficulty and the great importance of the subject, and he approached it with no feelings of pre sumption, but with very great reluctance, and solely under a paramount sense of public duty. He could not consett to the Bill her Majesty's Ministers had brought into that House. He was not prepared to say that at no future period the union of the Canadas might not be practicable, but at present he believed that union would be fraught with danger, and would be highly impo litic. Entertaining these feelings, he considered it to be the most straightforward and manly course ex plicitly to state his views, and the reasons by which he had been influenced to move the amendment. At the same time he must add he did not think he should have adopted this course had he not found, on investi gating this subject, that the views lie entertained had been supported by the greatest and most illustrious statesmen of other days who ever adorned that House or did honour to the country ; and had he not also found he was supported in those views by, he would not say all, but by a large majority of those public officers who, at various times, had held authority in the Canadas up to the present time, and even under the present Adminis tration. In stating the views by which lie influenced upon was upon this subject, he would not be tempted to deviate into any lengthened comments upon the history of Canada for the last few years, neither would he dwell upon the various causes . that had led to the late rebellion, and which had caused that great destruction and unhappy sta te . o f disturbance which had now rendered A j ai . perative that the imperial Parliament should interfere to settle the affairs of Canada. He did not appr oac h the subject with any party spirit. He did not wish to infuse into his address any more of party feeling than he could avoid, but he entertained the opinion which he had expressed on a forme r occasion, th a t t h e re b ellion which had occurredin Canada, was mainly and essent ia ll y to be attr:butedto the bad policy;of her M a j esty ' s Govern meat. His decided opinion was, that had it no t b een for the false system of conciliat ion adopted b y her Majesty's Government, had it not been fo r th e i r long continued system of oppressing the loyal inhabitants and encourag ing the domocratic and rebellious in Canada--( hear)—had it not been for their bad and false poPcv altogether, the rebelli on never would have occurred ttrlil the distracted st a t e o f t h at country would not have now called for the interference of the Imperial Legisla ture. Entertaining these opinions, it would be n o matter of surrei se t h at ho shou ld regar d ithw distrust any measure brought forward by her Majesty's Government, for the purpose of healing those w ounds whi c h h a d .b een cause d by their own short-sighted policy. At the same time he dial not for a momen t to . impute to the Government that they were acting with any duplicity or insincerity. He be lieved that the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colo nies was acting in perfect good faith in the objects he wished to attain. It had been frequently stated that I the time had now arrived when the Canadas ought to be separated from the parent coun try. .. He did not be lieve that the Noble Lord entertained such an opinion, —he could not suspect the Noble Lord of acting upon any such disingenuous policy. He believed that the objects intended to be attained by the Noble Lord were I the same as his own, but the Bill on the table he fully believed would greatly tend towards that injurious end. The objects which he held to be specially the duty EVENING EDIT isr . t\f .• of that House to attempt to secure,.werel place, to legislate for the good goveraqiu, welfare of the Canadas ; in the secoVi- pep -- to maintain inviolate tLe connect i on between . * MON, ak nadas and the parent state, which was the earnest de sire of the loyal portion of the inhabitants cf the pro vinces; and he was perfectly certain that the Noble Lord would join heartily with him in desiring the at tendance of his third object, which was to. provide for the welfare and prosperity of 'the_ loyal portion of the people of Canada ; the majority of whom tvi.re resident in the Upper Province. These were his objects. He believed that the Bill of the Noble Lord then on the table of the House would be fatal, and destructive to the whole of them. Tne.first objection he had to the Bill wasfoundrd upon the enormous geographical extent of the count!y included in the two Canadas.. He doubted whether it would be found possible to govern such an earn... mous. extent of country by one single executive.— ( Hear, hear.) Was the House : aware that the leogth. of Canad a in which our co uaryinen had settled amounted to not less than between 11,00 and 1 0 ,0°0 • miles. Was the House aware that the length of Ca natl.* was nearly or might be as great as that of the Chinz_sc empire, with 350 millions of inhabitants. L kt,,TM SPA4I:IN6.) TB E LON DON GAZETTE.
