We have had another cold and stormy day, in which winter clothing and fires are neither rare nor uncomfortable. BALTIMORE, JuNE 7, Nine o'Clock, A. M. A storm of rain commenced last evening, about six o'clock, and after raging with great violence, settled to a steady rain, which is continued this morning, with no sign, so far, of stopping. Ti e flour market the past week has been rather quiet, and sacs made pretty generally of Howard -street, at $4 62.}, but it is very dull at that price to-day, and under the news from England, by the Unicorn, will most probably give way. City mills is scarce, and fre,,h ground will bring $4 87i, being wanted for particular markets. The inspections of the week are 11,484 barrels, and 284 half barrels. NATCHEZ.—We !earn frcm the New Orleans Beg that the steam boat Binds, which was wrecked during the tcrnado at Natchez, has been picked up at Baton Rouge, h ving fifty-one dead bodies on board—forty-eight of whom vvt re males, two females and one child. KILLED AND WOUNDED IN NATCHEZ.--The Natchez Courier gives the following report of the number killed and wounded at that place by the tornado : Killed in Natchez, 48; killed on the river, 269 Total, 31.7.. Wounded in the city, 74; Wounded in boats, 35 T,tal, 109. PIRACY AND MURDER. The New Orleans commercial Bulletin of the oqth n't•, • etails an act of piracy and murder, of which intelli gence was brought there by the steam ship Nachez : " On the 22d ultimo, the English brig Vernon, John Cunningham master, sailed from Falmouth, Jamaica, for Halifax, U. S. ;° and on the eight day out, being a little north of Cape Antonio, sho was chased by an open bolt, containing seven men, who fired at the brig. Having have to, the boat came along side the brig, and the crew thereof belonging to a revenue cutter at anchor just round the point, requested the Captain of the Vernon to to on board of her in his own beat, with his papers, which he did. Captain C. with three men started for the cutter, in company with the seven strangers in their boat; and when they had got a short distance from the brig, the rascals or dered him to stop and undress. This done, the pirates (for so they proved to be) began to murder the three Englishmen, stabbing and cutting their throats. The cap tain and two men were killed, and the other man jumped over beard, and swam to the shore. lie wandered on thf. shore five days, when h e was dis covered by the Captain of a Cape Antonio coaster, by whom he w,.s furnished with necessaries. " The Captain, having learned from the destitute wan derer the outline of the outrage, gathered a force and went in search of the pirates and their prize, which he succeeded in finding. The surviving English sailors were employed in the forced labour of unloading their vessel—and it was learned that, after •finishing their job, they were to have their throats cut. The captain of the coasting craft resorted to stratagem to circumvent the out laws. Ho took with him three old muskets, saluted them most cordially, and told them he had brought the guns to - - - be put in order, and that his vessel was near by, and calculated for the business, and that he had come on the same business. They readily accepted an invitation to breakfast with him, and on their ar rival be made use of the force he had prepared for the occasion, and the whole seven were secured. M. Philpot, who was the bearer of the information to the Captain-Gene ral, and who was present at the examination of the cul prit', says the cold-blooded recitals of these demons made his heart shrink within him. These pirates reside at Regla, and are well known at Havannah. The sailor , vho escaped to the shore says that while he went to the woods be saw' several parcels of sails, blocks, compasses, and merchandize, which were probably the effects of other vessels that had been taken and destroxeri. Tie sur viving Englishmen were provided for by. Philpot till the British Consul should send for them. —New York Paper. FIVE DAYS LATER FROM THE UNITED STATES.—BY EXPRESS. LIVERPOOL, Wednesday Evening. The United States, Captain BRITTON, has just arrived, bringing New York dates to the 14th 'ult. Our papers were delivered with great prornp rtrevlitude by Captain BRITTON, who has made he passage from New York in seventeen days. • These papers contain no political news of any in terest. The Oswego Herald, of the Bth of June, records a diabolical attempt made by two Canadian refugees, named LETT and DEFOE, to set fire to the steamer Great Britain, in that port, when about to start on her voyage, laden with goods and passengers, by means of a trunk filled with com bustible materials. The explosion occasioned a considerable destruction of property, but no lives were lost. LETT and DEFOE were speedily arrested and sent to prison. The mob, in their rage, offered to hand them over to the captain of a British vessel bound for King ston, Upper Canada, to be dealt with as traitors, but he very praiseworthily refused to have any thing to do with them. LETT was armed with four pistols, and a bowie knife, and attempted to shoot the officer who arrested him. A Mr. JOHN STILLE, jun., of Philadelphia, a member of the legal profession, lately absconded with 100,000 dollars, which he held in trust for various purposes. He is supposed to have em barked for Europe. The following is the latest commercial news in the New York Papers : NEW YORK MONEY MARKET. (From the New York Courier and Inquirer, of the 13th of June.) There was no material change in the value of Stocks indicated by the operations at the Boards to-day. Some business was done in sterling bills for to-morrow's packet, and the extremes of the exchange ranged from 106 to 1074 ; perhaps a fair quotation on London would be 107 to 1071. There were plenty of bills, however, and but few buyers. On the Continent nothing was done. The brokers' quotation on Paris is 5.35 to 5 30. There is no demand for specie. Inland Exchanges are very dull, and no change in rates of discount. PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 12. There has been' a moderate business done in Stocks, without any material alteration in the prices. Sides of U. S.'Bank to the extent of about 500 shares, at 751-, 76, and 75i ; the last sale at 75k, after tha close of the 2nd Board of Brokers. $6OOO draft on New York, sold at 1041 ; N. A.

Business trans action, and a view of the market, I annex. The Le gislature of our State have passed a resolution to adjourn this day. The market has been very quiet this week in most ar ticles of merchandize with the exception of sugar and coffee, of which considerable sales have been made, nearly all the sugar taken at first hands at full a per cent. advance on last week's prices. Coffee has improved a trifle, and holders firm with small stocks. Molasses remains entirely neglected, a sale of Matanzas at 23c. is all I hear the last day or two. Teas, sales small at former prices, say coun try packed young hyson a 55c. lb. ; Canton do. 42c. An invoice of Pernambuco hides a 101 four months. To bacco, 300 ceroons for your market, North side Cuba at from 171 a 20c. lb. as per quality ; Kentucky has been active, and about 300 hbds. taken principally by the trade at full prices; inferior grades a 5 a 6c., and prime 8 a 91c. lb.

Flour is very dull at $4 25 a 41 for Ohio, and $4 621 for Penn sylvia ; some lots, not inspected, of Western, as low as $4. Wheat is wanted for export, and sells on arrival at 96, 98, and 100 c. per bushel. Corn has improved a shade —yellow 49c. afloat, white 45e. Oats is also better, and sales by the cargo at 28c. Q.

The sales of Howard-street flour yesterday, were made at $4 50 a $4 56i, principally at the former rate.

Deer Skins, at 22 a 25c. ; 1,0001135. Western Feathers, very prime, at 50c., and of common to fair at 41 a 48cts. (From the Buffalo ComniercialAdvertiser.) BUFFALO, JUNE 9, 1840. STATE OF TRADE The increase of travel upon the various routes leading to and from this important point, have, during the past week, shown a manifest improvement. Trade has been more ac tive, and the general aspect of business decidedly more favor able. The number of emigrants landing, and the quantity of merchandise passing through is quite considerable. There is also a very large amount of produce arriving, which must give the intcrior•a tremendous fall trade. This is not to be wondered at, as the whole West is now a producer— and enters the market with full assurance of success. Every craft that rounds the pier brings to the embrace of our city a full cargo. Among the arrivals this week we notice the steam-boat Madison, with 1,200 bbls. of flour, taken in at St. Joseph's. This is, we believe, the first consignment direct from that port this season, by steamboat; and we are pleased to record the fact that this vessel, which is one of the largest en the Western waters, found no difficulty whatever in touching there and taking in her cargo. Gentlemen familiar with the subject say the har. hour is the finest upon Lake Michigan; but some local difference between it and Chicago, and the want of per manent improvements have deterred masters of vessels from making it a particular point. We speak advisedly when we say that 30,000 bbls. of flour will he shipped from that place this season, and it is asserted that half that number arc now awaiting a conveyance from Michigan City. The Lords stood adjourned over yesterday, and the Commons did not make a House. We agree with the Post and the Standard, that the small majority of 19 against Sir R. INGLIs's motion is not much of a triumph for the Liberals, nor much of a defeat for the Tories. A minority of 151, tellers included, is sufficient, if a cause be good, to ensure it final if not speedy success. When the idea was first broached by the Standard —for to that lying Journal belongs the scandal, we believe, of first suagesting, when other persons were denouncing the wealth of the Church, that it was not rich and powerful enough—it was very generally ridicUled as a monstrous folly, which no person would dare to broach in Parliament. The public, headed by the Times, was then of opinion that there was too much Church, and there was an almost general demand to reform, if not to curtail, its revenues; and we remember well that the pro position of the Standard, to give the Church a large additional sum of the public revenue was generally scouted, asequally unjust and impracticable. We have, however, now seen a motion to that effect brought forward, and seen it supported by 151 Members, while an almost equal number, the cause of whose absence is not explained, must, as Members of the Conservative party, be ready to give it support, though cold and reluctant. The division, therefore, as a Ministerial Evening Contemporary says,— "Is replete with warning to the country. Vigorous exertion and stout resistance are required to counteract the spirit of ecclesiastical aggression and extortion that has seized on High Churchmen, and which the Tories, as a party, foster and attempt to gratify, because of the aid they derive from the clergy, as a body, in advancing their party interests." The number after all, is parhaps not the most formidable feature of the division and the de bate. Though neither Sir R. PEEL, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, nor Lord STANLEY, spoke in favour of the motion, they all voted for it, and are there fore pledged to carry its principle into effect when ever they possess the power. Why Mr. GOUL BURN, another leader of the Tories, did not vote, we cannot tell, as he was in the House in the early part of the evening, and is known to be favourable to the measure. Besides these great leaders, the rising young men of the party, such as Mr. HER BERT, Mr. MILNES, and Mr. GLADSTONE, with Lords MAHON and SANDON, all voted for it, and by that pledge themselves to use their power in office and out of office to impose more Church on the community. Combining the number with the talent and influence of those who supported Sir ROBERT INGLIS, and looking at the probability of the Tories being in office, we must warn every man in the country not a member of the Church, that he must at once bestir himself to prevent at some future time a large sum being voted for extending the Church. But the strength of our opponents and oppres sors is for us not so formidable as the disposition of our friends. The foremost of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S reasons for resisting the motion was the present necessities of the State, and the pro bability that to increase the public burdens would be to increase the discontent. At the same time as Lord JOHN RUSSELL admits that the want of churches and the want of priests are evils, he, too, will be bound, should the revenue be abundant, at some future day to give a favourable consideration to Sir ROBERT INGLIS'S demand. The next objection made by Lord JOHN RUSSELL was the hostility of those who do not belong to the fa voured sect ; so that if they should slumber, or from prosperous worldly concerns care little for some additional taxation, Lord JOHN RUSSELL may be expected not to off er any v i gorous op position to the High Church party. Moreover, ' the great object of the remainder of Lord Jon s RUSSELL'S speech was to show that he and all the Ministers take a deep interest in the aurch, seek to promote its efficiency, and are favourable to the extension of its power, though he fears to impose new taxes on the people for th a t p urpose . Now in these avowals of partiality to the Church we see even more cause for apprehension than in the numbers and influence of the Tories. But even this is not all. Some of the most ef fective parts of Sir R. INGLIS'S spcecli consisted in quotations from speeches of Sir J. HOB HOUSE, Lord PALMERSTON, Lord HOWICK, and Lord J. RUSSELL, pointing out or admitting the insuffi ciency of Church accommodation, and professing a desire to remedy it. A Morning Journal, too, once the most forward and most consistent in attacking the Church, took care to impress on its readers yes terday, that " it was not hostile to the maintenance of (religious) establishments," so that where we have the most right to look for aid in " counteracting the spirit of ecclesiastical aggression and extortion," we find an acknowledgment of the utility of the Church, and a desire to uphold, strengthen, and extend it. This circumstance makes us earnest to impress it on every friend of the voluntary system throughout the land to be constant and unceasing in his exertions, for that noble cause is endangered by feeble or treacherous friends. It was over and over again stated, during the pro gress of the discussion on the Reform Act, that the Peterloo massacre was its parent. That single event convinced thousands in the manufacturing districts that there was no chance of obtaining either redress or justice till the House of Commons was reformed. It has been reformed, without causing any of the beneficial effects which were anticipated. Again great masses of grievances are growing up, for which no redress can he obtained, and again a demand has arisen for a further and a more sweep ing Reform. The petitions which we publish else where, under the head " Torture in England" seem to us likely to become, in common with other peti tions of the same character, to which it has been our duty to direct the attention of our readers, to that further and more sweeping Reform what the Peter loo massacre was to the Reform already achieled, the last drop which makes the full cup of indigna tion for "an age of wrongs" overflow. At least our countrymen must be wholly unworthy of the character they have always horny, if the middle classes are not thoroughly ashamed of the torture inflicted in their name and for their behoof on a few political offenders, and if the lower classes are not thoroughly indignant at the unworthy treatment in flicted on those whose utmost crime is that they have assumed to be peculiarly the friends of the poor. The number of petitioners is seven, and they all complain of similar usage. They are treated as felons, are obliged to tear the little meat they re ceive with their hands, and in same cases appear to be compelled to labour on the trcadwheel. We need not transcribe here their several complaints, but shall recommend the petitions of JOSEPH CRABTREE, confined in the House of Correction at Wakefield, and of RICHARD WHITE on behalf of his son, confined in the same place, to particular attention. The description given by CRABTREE is minute and specific, and if correct, as we are in. clined to think, it must require a considerable staff of turnkeys and watchmen to carry the prison dis cipline into effect. The treatment mentioned may be suffering to the victims ; to those who devised it, and to those who carry it into execution, it is an indelible disgrace. If that be prison discipline, it is a far greater crime, a more atrocious outrage on humanity, than any of the misdemeanours or petty felonies committed by those who are subjected to it. That an aged man, whose only offence was attending a public meeting where no violence was committed ; and that a sick youth, who is said to have twice fallen from the tread-mill, should have been equally exposed to such treatment, proves the unsparing cruelty of the system. " Each petition," says a Tory Contemporary, " supposing its allegations-to_ be true, reveals a sys tem of torture known only to the Star Chamber and the Inquisition." In Mr. WHITE'S petition it is added, that the cells at Wakefield are damp and unwholesome ; but as this is not supported by evidence, and is said to be under investigation, we do not further mention it as aggravating the miseries of the Wakefield House of Correction. Without that enough remains to make it doubtful whether the present horrors of English prisons, as inflicted on political offenders, can be surpassed by the dungeons of the Inquisition, or the negro prisons of Jamaica. - We must, in conclusion, remind those who are instrumental in inflicting these cruelties, that they will mar their own purpose, unless they pursue the course to its proper conclusion—the death of the prisoners. To allow them to come out of prison, will he to disperse missionaries of Chartism. and apostles of revolution, over the land. Even should their spirit be broken, and they should carefully shun the honour of further political martyrdom, they will talk of their sufferings, and will inspire many a young and ardent mind with an undying hatred of our political institutions. Of political offenders it is eminently true, that if you insult and injure, wi:hout destroying them, you only irritate and strengthen the enemies who will destroy you. In another part of the Paper will be found an account of an atrocious attack, made on ROBERT OWEN and his peaceable followers, at the Potte ries in Staffordshire. We know little or nothing of the doctrines of this sect, but we know that their public conduct deserves great praise for mo deration and decent demeanour. They do not, like some other sects, attempt to maintain or extend their tenets by violence ; they do not break out into open rebellion, like the Churchman under the guidance of the mad Lord GEORGE GORDON ; nor do they attack private property. like the igno rant and misguided persecutors of PRIESTLY— and why, then, should the Magistrates of Staf fordshire allow a lawless, ignorant, and prejudiced mob to attack men who offend not against the laws of their country ? We recommend to the cler4y mln who lectured on the occasion, to study the following text of Scripture :—" Refrain from these men, and let them alone, for if this counsel or this work he of man, it will come to nought, but if it be of GOD ye cannot overturn it." The I-lull Advertiser makes the following ic marks on the anomalous position, in which Sir AUGUSTUS and Mademoiselle D'EsTE—or, as they ought to be designated, Prince A uGy sT us and Princess AUGUSTA of SUSSEX—arc placed : " Sir Augustus and Mademoiselle D'Este arc legally, as well as morally, entitled to all the advantages that should arise to the legitimate offspring of a Royal Duke. This the Duke of Sussex has acknowledged, and the opinion of two lawyers, eminently qualified to decide upon the point, was, in 1831, pronounced in favour of the validity of his Royal Highness's marriage with Lady Augusta Murray. Dr. Lushington and Mr. Griffiths Richards, united in the opinion that " the Royal Marriage Act does not extend to any marriages by any descendants of George 11., contracted and solemnised bona fide out of Great Britain, and beyond the limits of British jurisdiction, and that the marriage of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex at Rome was not a marriage impeachable under that statute. " Under these circumstances, it is most unjustifiable to withhold from the generous and accomplished Sir Augus tus D'Este and his sister the rights of their birth, nor will the Duke of Sussex be held blameless for failing to use his best endeavours to obtain justice for his children Highly estimable as is the character of the Illustrious Duke, and greatly as his popular qualities arc appreciated by the nation, he will not be exempt from heavy censure should he shrink from discharging the obligations which, as a parent and a man, he owes to the offsprin g of his early affections." We entirely concur with our respectable Contem porary in these opinions. Indeed he has only ex pressed the sentiments which every one entertain s who has given the slightest attention to the subject. There is not, we will venture to say, a dissentient voice without the walls of Kensington Palace upon the merits of the question at issue between the Duke of SUSSEX and his children. Nor do we re gard this unanimity as a thing calculated to excite the least degree of surprise. The wonder would have been, had there existed a diversity of opinion on a point so clear. For what really is the ques tion but this, whether it is or is not the duty of a parent to stand up for the rights of his children, and to assist them in their endeavours to procure that justice which, without his assistance, may pos sibly be beyond their reach. Can there, we ask, be two opinions in any com munity, more especially in a Chiistian community, on such a question ? We say, with all respect for the Duke of SUSSEX, that if his Royal Highness has made up his mind to set the law of nature, and the opinion of the world, at defiance on this one most material point, all that he can do by the most praiseworthy conduct on other points, will be alto gether insufficient to save him from the public cen sure. We cannot believe it possible that a Prince, who has hitherto stood so high in the estimation of the country, will risk his popularity —were there no ',Uglier motives to influence him— by taking a course so different from that which the popular voice and the popular sentiment point out. But be t as it may, this, in our opinion, admits of no doubt—that Sir AUGUSTUS D'ESTE is bound, by a regard to the memory of his honoured mother, as well as by the duty which lie owes to his sister and to himself, to use his utmost efforts to obtain those rights which have been so unjustly withheld. No dereliction of duty on the part of the Duke of SUSSEX can absolve him from this obligation, how ever painful it may be to his feelings to act in such a matter, either in opposition to, or even indepen dently of, his Royal father, An appeal to the breast of his illustrious parent is unquestionably his first step, but should that, u n h a ppily, fail of success, his next should be to address himself to her MAJESTY'S constitutional advisers. We perceive that Sir AUGUSTUS, in con junction with Lord SEATON, late Commander in-Chief in Canada, had an interview with Lord MELBOURNE on Wednesday last, on the subject, it is presumed, of Highland emi gration to our Canadian possessions, in which he is understood to take a deep interest. The object is a highly patriotic one, and therefore deserves to be applauded ; but still we hold that, until the son of the Duke of SUSSEX is recognised as such—until he is r escue d f rom hi s present degra dation, and placed in the position to which his birth entitles him, he is culpable, if he do not bend his principal--we had almost said his whole —exertions to the attainment of that paramount object. _ _ We are confident, such is our opinion of Lord MELBOURNE'S honest English feeling, combined as it is with the most correct judgment, that were SirAUGUSTUS to represent to his Lordship person ally the grievous injustice,the unprecedented wrongs, to which he and his sister have so long a n d so pa tiently submitted, the hardship of their case, and the necessity of immediate redress, would at once be admitted. An appeal to the Prime Minister would, we are persuaded, not be made in vain, and we would earnestly impress upon Sir AuGusTus D'EsTE, that after the public opinion has been so unequivocally expressed in favour of the justice of his claims, and ►n condemnation of the unworthy treatment to which he has been subjected, such an appeal is expected from him. We shall also take the liberty to remind him that there is much ancestral wisdom in the adage " Strike the iron while it is hot." Since the above observations were put into type, we have observed that the Dublin Evening Post has opened its columns to the defence of the rights of the children of the Duke of SUSSEX. We hail, with cordial satisfaction, the accession of our able and influential Contemporary to a cause which has no other means of advancement than its intrinsic justice, and claims no other support than that which a sense of justice dictates. Our readers are aware that the Dublin Evening Post is the great organ of the MELBOURNE Administration in Ireland. Its advocacy of the rights of the son and daughter of the Duke of SUSSEX, against, to all appearance, the inclinations of their Royal Fa ther, may therefore be instanced as a fresh proof, were such wanted, that this question is not con nected, in the most remote degree, with political considerations. It is taken up and advocated with equal earnestness by Journals of all shades of poli tical opinion —by the warmest friends, and the bitterest opponents of the Government. Every week, too, is adding to the number of its adhe rents. These are circumstances which demand the deepest attention of the Duke of SUSSEX ; nor can they, we think, escape the notice of those whose duty it is to watch over the interests of the Royal Family. We remind our readers that a meeting in behalf of the persecuted Jews at Damascus, will be held at the Mansion-house to-morrow. The requisition to the LORD MAYOR, which appeared in The Sun of Tuesday, is sign e d by almost every man of title and wealth in the City, and forms a noble con trast to the bigoted ignorance of the Christians at Damascus, and the still mote atrocious bigotry of the citizens of London in by-gone days. It must afford great relief to a humane mind to see these old, absurd, and barbarous prejudices vanishing 'before the light of reason and common sense; and the very same class of men coining forward now to denounce as unchristian and wicked the system of persecution, which was considered meritorious under the reign of King JOHN. We have no doubt that this meeting wilt be productive of great benefit to a persecuted people, to whom we owe many bless ings, and who, notwithstanding all the oppressions to which they have been subjected, conduct them selves with a degree of moderation, patience, and forbearance which Christians have reason to envy. Dr. LUSH INGTON it appears, has decided in the Consistory Court, that a Church-rate is not invali dated by the omission of property to the amount of 2001. from the rate. It lies altogether in the dis cretion of the Judge to determine the invalidating quantum of omission, such is the glorious precision of Ecclesiastical law. We recollect the same Learned Civilian gave an opinion, we are not s•ire whether it was not in this very case, that an omis sion to the amount of sixpence would not be suf ficient to set aside the rate. We observe with pleasure that among the pre sentations at her MAJESTY'S Levee yesterday, the Rev. JAMES ACWORTH, M.A., President of Holton College, Bradford, and the Rev. JOHN EUSTACE GILES, Baptist Minister of Leeds, were introduced as a Deputation from forty-two Congregations in the 11 est Riding of Yorkshire, to lay before her MAJESTY two Memorials, one on behalf of the persecuted JOHN THOROGOOD, and the other praying for her MAJESTY'S sanction to the application which they are about to make to the Senate of Hamburgh, on behalf of the Rev. J. G. Oucic EN, and the Baptist congregation in that place, who are now, to the disgrace of that professedly free and Protestant State, forbidden to assemble for worship even ill a private house. As a proof of the interest taken in the case of JOHN THottooooD in Yorkshire, r, e may state, for the comfort of the Bishops, that in one day not fewer than forty congregations met to memorialize her MAJESTY on the subject, all of them professing religious tenets different from those of the unfortu nate prisoner. The Church, and not the Govern ment, is to blame for this wicked persecution. In deed, we have reason to . believe that her MAJESTY'S Ministers are most anxious that THOROGOOD should be released, but the Ecclesiastical Courts and the Bishops are still too strong for them. Letters from Constantinople of the 10th ult. cons firm the accounts previously received of the distnissa r of KIIOSREW PACHA from the post of Grand Vizie and President of the Council. In consideration of hi long service and advanced age the SULTAN has over looked his peculations, so that the Matti Sherif merely mentions his infirmities as incapacitating him from longer discharging the duties of so weighty an office. KHOSREW'S successor is RAOUF PACHA, a man older than himself, but one whose bands are said to be com paratively clean, and who is well disposed to second the efforts of the Reform party, and especially RESCHID PACHA, who is the animating soul of that body. The new GRAND VIZIER has a powerful and determined enemy in Russia, not the least of whose recent morti fications has been the dismissall tr of o.t. Advices were received at Constantinople from Odessa stating positively that Russia had landed 30,000 fresh troops on the Circassian coast. These troops were shortly to be re-inforced by another swarm of Cossacks, who were ready to embark, burning to revenge upon the gallant mountaineers the destruction of their companions in arms. We are astonished at the apathy of the Governments of France and England on the subject of the independence of Circassia. So brave a people ought to be rescued from the barbarians' yoke attempted to be imposed upon them by the tyrant of Poland. Brussels and German Papers, the former of Mon (lay's date, have reached us. The following extracts from them include all the news they contain of any general interest -- • BRUSSELS, JUN E 29.—The Illoniteur publishes the fol lowing notice :—" Tiic Minister of Finance of the king dom of Belgium, who is authorised to open a loan to the amount of eighty-two millions of francs, informs the public that he will receive till the Ist of August next all offers which shall be made to him to fill up the said loan, as well as all proposals relative either to the rate of interest of the bonds to be issued, or to the mode of competition which the persons interested would wish to have adopted. The time or payment might be arranged In such a manner that the last payment shall be made in the course of the )car 1842, and not earlier. _ " More ample information will be given at the Office of the Minister, to any person applying for it. MERCIER. " Brussels, 25th June." Her Royal Highness Madame Adelaide, sister of the King of the French, is expected at Brussels on Tuesday. An enermous:thornbaek, 9 feet long, 7 feet broad, and 1% foot thick, has been caught in the North Sea, and brought to Oitend. It a as immediately sent to the Cabi. net of Naturslllistery at Tournay. PoLista FRONTIERS IN JUNE.—The frOlVier is now more rigorously guarded than ever, so that all strangers pos sessing estates in Poland and Silesia are endeavouring to dispose of them below their value. The labourers, men And maid servants, who go from Poland to Silesia, or from Silesia to Poland, to woik on the estates of their rogitcra, can obtain passports only fur a few weeks at the utmost. At the expiration of that time they must imme diately return to their homes to get their passports re newed. Every time they cross the frontiers they are most strictly searched. It is only to the venality of the Cos sacks and of the Russian employer in general, that we are indebted for being able to cultivate our estates in Poland. If we were to submit literally to all the vexatious formali ties prescribed we would rather suffer our fields to be fallow. Persons of the highest rank, whose estates are traversed by the Polish frontier line, have applied to the Emperor for some modification of the measures prescribed. Wear that they have either a refusal or an equivocal answer. THE SUN,MONDON,7,THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1840. DUTCH FUNDS.-AMSTERDAM, JUNE ZO , - Money.

The extraordinary despatches from Paris, published in The Sun of yesterday, have deprived the French papers of Tuesday of all interest. Indeed, the only important additional fact they communicate is the recal of Marshal VALLEE, from Africa, and the appoint ment of Marshal Mom Ton to succeed him. The war is to be carried on with increased ferocity on the part of the French. We shudder as we quote from an article in the Journal des Debats of Tuesday, the fol lowing intimation of the course to be adopted to brirgthc Arabs on their knees before their most Christian con querors. Merciful Heaven ! need we wonder at the spread of Socialism and St. Simonianism, when we be hold a Government, professing the religion of the Cross, gravely giving utterance to such language as the following:— " It i; unfortunate that our troops were not able to burn their harvests to a greater extent I This terrible manner of making war has the double result of punishing and ter rifying them, and putting it out of their power to pay tri bute to Abd-el-Kader out of the produce of their crops, and by which tribute the Emir is enabled to pay his regular troops. Next year, in the month of May, we must come to the determination of burning their harvests without mercy, according to the plan laid down by General Bu geaud I We must by all means lay waste the province r'f Oran, because a diversion on that side would disengage the country about Medeah and Miliana ; the contingents belonging to Abd-el-Kadet's army would remain at home to defend their territory, or would make their sub mission to us, in order to save their property." The horrible misery which it is here recommended t o inflict upon the innocent husbandman, and his de fenceless little ones, will call forth no burst of clerical indignation. A proposal for the civil appropriation of the proceeds of one clerical possession in France, or a tithe pig in England, would excite a greater com motion among the priests, than a Royal proposal for the extirpation of all the native inhabitants of Africa. If in the above quotation we were to substitute, for the destruction of Arab harvests, the destruction of the property of the mosques, what a stir—what a commo tion there would be among the priests and priestlings of Christian Europe! The Armoricain, of Brest, of the 27th of June, says— " It is said that M. Grivel, the Maritime Prefect of Brest, the only one of our Admirals who has served on the Marines of the Guard, is to command the squadron which is to go to meet the remains of Napoleon." The Memorial des Pyrenees contains the following letter from Les Eaux-Bonnes : " General Bertrand leaves Les Eaux. Bannes on the 27th of June, to embark at Toulon on the 30th; but a telegraphic despatch from Paris, sent to the General by the Prefect of the Lower Pyrenees, informs him that the squadron will not set sail for St. Helena till the stli of July. Marshal Clausel and M. de Lamartine are expected here in a few days." The Bayonne Journals of the 27th, con fine themselves to giving some details of the entrance into France of 1,183 foot soldiers, and 123 cavalry, belonging to the battalions of Valencia and. Fidelity. Having en tered France on the 26th, they were Immediately sent to Bayonne, and the Chateau of Marac has been prepared to receive them. Nine hundred arms of different kinds have been deli vered by them to the military authorities, and are de posited at Saro and °lotto; 266 horses and mules brought by the Carlists, have been already delivered to the Spanish authorities at Irun. —Le Constit utionnel. The Toulonnais announces that the Gregeois steamer is to go shortly to Port Vendres, to take on board M. de la Redorte, our new Ambassador to the Spanish Court, and tu land him at Barcelona, where the Queen will be at that time. Several French and Foreign ships are taking in car goes of coal to convey it to the River Plata. It is reported that Admiral Lalande will retain the command of the Levant fleet ; in that case, the Ocean, hearing the flag of Admiral Rosamcl, would not have to go to the Archipelago._Le Commerce.

THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—We understand that a body of subscribers to these gardens, led on by Mr. W. Tooke, the wou:d-be Member for Finsbury, are to make an attempt on Thursday to shut up those gardens on Sundays. That is quite right. The rich as well a: the poor ought to be annoyed. Ti, Saints seem to be sent on earth for no other purpose but to plague their ueighbours, which they do effectually. A more inno cent amusement, however, than is supplied by these gardens cannot exist. SOUTH AFRICA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Will you be so kind as to favour me with an an. saver to the following question, in your next Sun. In the Evening Edition of Saturday's Sun, is a paragraph, beaded, " Facts about South Africa," wherein it is stated that a labourer may get to the Cape of Good Hope for six or ten pounds. Now, what I want to know is, whether the above is intended to apply to labourers exclusively, or whether any other of her Majesty's subjects can procure a passage for the aforesaid comparatively small sum. Your attention to the above will much oblige, A MEMBER OF THE ATHENJEUM. Manchester, June 30, 1840. [We believe a steerage passage for that small sum may be had by any person, but some of our readers who have an interest in answering the question, will, no doubt, fa vour us with a communication on the subject, in order to leave no doubt.] The Olympic Theatre was last night visited by the Duke, Duchess, and Princess Augusta of Cambridge, at tended by their suite, to witness the performances of Al. Matis and Mademoiselle Edlin in Estelle. The other pieces were Le Bal d' Ourriers and Le Commissaire Extraordinaire, in the last of which M. Tourtois admirably supported the princi pal character. The very able writer of an article in the new number of the Quarterly Review on the Chathani correspon dence, alludes to two letters from Junius, of which in that cor respondence fac similes are given, accompanied by fac similes of the writing of Sir Philip Francis, intimating that Sir Philip was the author of Junius. The reviewer says--" We will not now pursue tl:at inquiry. We will only express our contr ar y conviction that Sir P. Francis was not the author of Junius, and that, dell the candidates for that very questionable honour the weight of suspicion still preponderates towards Lord Sackville." HUNGERFORD REGATTA.—The oars' wager at Ilungerford-stairs, took place yesterday. The match was for a new skiff, and ether prizes, given by the inhabi' ants of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields and its vicinity, to be rowed for by six pair, in three heats, and the following had been entered : —G. Bancroft and T. Cook, light blue; A. Tough and A. Churchman, red; J. Dodd and J. Braith waite, green ; .1. Smith and F. Braithwaite, white ; T. Moody and W. Perry, pink ; and Vokins and W. Diamond, yellow. At three o'clock the first three pairs started for the first heat from buoys off Hungerford-stairs, up round a boat moored off the house of Lords, down the Middlesex shore, round the police-shin off Strand-lane, up again to the House of Lords, and back to Ilungerford to finish. 'The two winners of each heat went to their stations for the final struggle, start ing downwards as high water had made in the interval, and finishing as before at Ilungerford. Bed took the lead, main taining it throughout, although their opponents rowed ad mirably ; light blue came in second, about 150 yards astern ; pink was the third. There was a very large assemblage present. A RICH BEGGAR.—Yesterday Elizabeth Ben net, alias Dennis, an elderly woman, a complete dwarf, was brought up to Hatton-garden, charged with begging in the street. On searching her nearly 301. were found in her pockets. She was committed to the House of Correction for a month. THE SCHOOLMASTER SCHOOLED.—A man, named Meals, described as a schoolmaster, was fined a -yes terday by the Magistrate at Marylebone, for " conveying " from the Kensal-green Cemetery, some geraniums. The Ma gistrate obse:ved that it was a most cruel and unkind act on the part of any one to pluck from graves the plants and flowers placed there by affectionate relatives and friends. There are 40 prisoners in the county gaol for trial at the approachino . Assizes, including eight for murder, and twelve for the Whiteboy crime of assaulting habitatio ns , and seizing firearms by day and night. —Lime r ick Chronicle. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

KING'S COLLEGE.—On Wednesday the distri bution of prizes at the King's College was made by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, in the theatre of the institution. On Wednesday the ceremony of laying the first stone of the Butchers' Charitable Institution took place in the grounds purchased for the purpose at Walham-green, Fulham. The Earl of Miltown has directed his estates in the county of Dublin, and also those at Drumcondra, to be brought to the hammer. They are of the estimated rental of 4,0001. per annum. THE REGISTRATION.—Last night at eight o'clock, a numerous meeting of the members of the West minster Reform Society was held at Stannard's hotel, Charles street, Covent-garden, for the purpose of adopting measures to watch the proceedings in the Registration Court on behalf of the Reform interest. THE FORTHCOMING EXECUTION.---It iS said that as much as five guineas has been paid for a single place, commanding a good view of the scaffold ! _ _ _ How TO EAT STRAWBERRIES—MaIIy`SerVe up strawberries with cream and sugar, but give us the Italian dressing for a strawberry before all others. It makes a splendid dish for a dessert, and is sure to please nine nut of every ten persons at table. The operation is simple. Take off the stalks from as many berries as will form one layer at the bottom of a dish ; sift some fine leaf sugar over them ; then place another layer, and sift again ; each layer will be, found smaller than the preceding. When there are five or six layers, cut a fresh lemon and squeeze the juice all over them. Before they are helped, let them be gently disturbed, that they nny have the benefit of the lemon juice and sugar. They may be eaten of heartily with out danger, which is mole than can be said of strawberries and cream ; and, generally speaking, those who have eaten them with the Italian dressing will never eat them any other way if they can help it. DEATH IN WHITECROSS-STREET PRISON. —On Tuesday an inquest was held in the Whitecross-street Prison, on the body of S. Jones, aged 60. From the evidence adduced it appeared that deceased was formerly a medical in strument-maker in Holborn, and was incarcerated on the 14th of April last, for a debt of 291.105. Mr. Wadd, the surgeon, stated that when the deceased was brought in he was labouring under a severe attack of palsy in the left side. He was taken into the infirmary, and every assistance was rendered to him. A few days ago he was seized with typhus fever, of which he died nn Friday last. Mr. Owen, a solicitor residing in Chan cery-lane, deposed that he had known deceased twelve years. He was formerly in good circumstances. He was ill before brought to the prison, but he had no doubt the imprisonment hastened his death. Mr. Barrett, the Governor, said that deceased had told him that his wife, Mrs. Jones, was in St. Luke', madhouse, which preyed heavily on his mind. Verdict —" Natural death." An honest farmer was asked why he did not subscribe for a newspaper? " Beeatve," said he, "my father, when he died, left me a good many papers, and I haven't read them through yet." AN AMERICAN SHOT.--I had'a curious winter shot at nineteen rooks as k wanted for a breakfast pie. These here rooks were perched on apiece of zigzag of Farmer Muggs', close to the location house as they built when they were scoping out the pike for gravel. Nineteen rooks in a line, with their feet all spread flat over the top of the stakes. So I slides ever the grounds, for it was all over slithery, snew powerful, and gets down into the follow. I calcylated I should be able to hit the whole nineteen with one bullet, so I aims at the stake and split it, so that it opened over the whole length on the top, and in fell the feet of the nineteen rooks right into the split, which closed again immediate on their feet; and I wish I may be amazing disbelieved if I didn't ring the necks of the whole nineteen, for they waited patiently while I come at 'em one by one.— Uncle Sam's Peculiarities, in Bentley's Miscellany, June. EV_ENING ED s TION. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (THIS DAY.) (Before Lord DENMAN and a Special Jury.) CRIM. CON.—DUNDAS, CLERK, V. 1101 E. This was an action brought by the Rev. Mr. Dundas, a clergyman of the Church of England, against Mr. Hole, a gentleman residing in the neighbourhood of Beth, to recover damages for criminal conversation with the plain tiff's wife. Mr. TIIESIGER addressed the Jury on behalf of the plain tiff, who was a clergyman of the Church et' England, re siding in Wiltshire,eind the son of Captain Deans Dundas, R.N., the representative in Parliament for the borough of Devizes. The lady who was the unfortunate cause of - this action was the daughter of Colonel Burslem, and the plaintiff was married to her ;in the year 1536. Differences unfortunately had occurred between them, and they were separated from each other, Mrs. Dundas became acquainted with the defendant Mr. Hole, a young gentleman, residing in the neighbourhood of Bath, and that acquaintance ended in the unhappy con nection which was the cause of the present action. The Learned Counsel then detailed the circumstances of the case as they subsequently came out in evidence, and called the following witnesses : The Rev. Thomas Douglas Hodgson officiated at the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Dundas on 13th February, 1836. On his cross-examination the witness said he knew of Mr. Dundas paying his addresses to Miss Burslem. The marriage settlement was then put in and read, and the execution of it was proved by Mr. Baker, a solicitor of Newbury. There was also a draft of the deed of separa. tion, which Mr. Dundas had refused to execute when he was desirous of a reconciliation. John links, waiter at the Castle, at Marlborough—Oa the 13th of May, 1839, Mr. Hoie and a lady came to the inn, from Bath, and occupied a sitting room and bed room. They were attended by a female servant, and passed as man and wife. They remained two or three days. In 10 or 12 da) s after witness saw the same lady at the inn. Dr. Harman was with her. William fleetly, waiter at the Castle, corroborated the evidence of the last witness. Harriet Greenaway, the chambermaid at the castle, re collected the lady and gentleman coming there. They occupied but one bed. Dr. Harman, a physician at Bath, went with Mr. Den das to the castle at Alarlberougb, on the 29th May, 1839. Win. Hall knew the residence of Col. Burslem at 9, Portland-place, Bath. Ann Murrell, chambermaid at the White Hart, Chip penham, recollected that on the 15th of November a lady and gentleman came to that inn, and they lived as man and wife. They left a blue band-box behind, which wit ness took care of. George Nicholls, the waiter at the White Hart, recol lected the lady and gentleman corning there. Richard Hook knows the defendant. Ann Murrell had pointed him one to witness as the gentleman who had been at the White Hart. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. ERLE then addressed the Jury for the defence, and said that he was convinced his Learned Friend had not been instructed as to the real circumstances of this. unhappy case, or with his usual candour he would have, stated them to the Jury. The unhappy lady, who was. the subject of the present action, was possessed of great personal attractions, and was residing with her father, Colonel Burslem; in the neighbourhood of Barton-court, in Wiltshire. In the year 1834 Captain Deans Dundas, the father of the plaintiff, came to reside at Barton -court, and his son, the present plaintiff, was re- . siding with him. At that time the plaintiff was about 22, years of age, and was not in holy orders; he became a ' frequent visitor:at Col. Burslem's, and his attentions to Miss Burslem, who was then about 21, attracted general attention. On being spoken to on the eubject, he stated that a mu. tual attachment existed between himself and Miss Burs • lcm, that his intentions were strictly honourable, and he ended by an offer of marriage, and stated that the con • nex ion was one of which his family approved. Towards the latter end of 1834, Mrs. Burslem was confined to her ' room for two months by illness, and the plaintiff still con tinued his visits. During this time the plaintiff was base enough to take advantage of the affections of Miss - Burslem, and to abuse the confidence reposed in him by her family by effecting her ruin. Miss Burslem became ill; she was removed to Bath fur the benefit of her. • health, and then her mother learnt, for the first . time, that she was pregnant. From that time Mr. Dundas discontinued his visits. Having satiated his appetite he was base enough to abandon his unfor. female victim. Aliss Burslem was then removed to St. John's Wood, in the neighbourhood of London, where ' she was privately confined. In the mean time, negoti ations were opened between the family cf Colonel r Burslem and that of Captain Deans Dundas, with a. view of bringing about a marriage ; but the plaintiff exhibited the greatest reluctance to repair the erong he bad done. In fact, he believed that at that . time he was paying his attentions to another lady. Both the plaintiff and his friends exhibited the greatest repug-. fiance to the alliance, and it was only with the greatest t difficulty that the defendant had been forced to make ' this tardy reparation to his victim. From the time, of the marriage, Mr. Dundas seemed to have dcvottd his whole attention to the devising means.for getting rid of his wife. He was guilty even of personal violence towards her. He treated her with the greatest _ cruelty and neglect, and took every opportunity -of • exposing her to the seductions of other men,' • with a view of getting an excuse for such an action as the present, whereon he might found a suit for a divorce. He left her without any cause, and she re. peatedly endeavoured to get interviews with him without effect. She had applied at his father's house fer this pur pose, and the servants then had told her that it was as much as their place was worth to deliver any of her messages. She had repeatedly written to him, but her letters had been suffered to remain unanswered. When a plaintiff in an action of this sort was consenting to his own dishonour, the law would not allow him to recover any damages, In such a case as this, if the Jury felt inclined to give da mages at all, he thought the smallest possible amount would satisfy the justice of the case. The Learned Coun sel then called the following witnesses Mrs. Burslem, the wife of Colonel Burslem, and the mother of Mrs. Dundas.—Captain Deans Dundee came to Barton Court in 1834. Mr. Dundas became a fre quent visitor at witness's house, and his visits attracted the attention of the family. Witness's daughter was then twenty-one years of age. Mr Dundas, on • being spoken to on the subject, said that there was an attachment subsisting between himself and witness's daughter, and that his intentions were honourable. He made an offer of marriage, and said his family were agree able to it. He afterwards spoke to the Colonel on the subject. In the latter end of 1834 witness was confined for two months, and Mr. Dundas .continued his visits. Witness's daughter complained of being unwell in October or November, and went to Bath. Dr. Vance attended her. Witness fetched her back from Bath. Mr. Dundas did not visit her in Bath. While she was in Bath - witness learned she was pregnant. She was confined of a child in June, 1835. Witness stated what had happened to Cap tain and Mrs. Dundas before the confinement; had fre. quent communications with them about the mar riage. After that Mr. Dundas renewed his visits. It was understood by both families t .at a marriage should take place. He was in holy orders at the time of the marriage. In 1837 there was a great deal of quarrelling between them. Witness had at one time Observed a large cut on her daughter's lip. She was in tears. They once came on a visit to witness, and she thought they lived happily. He went away suddenly, leaving his wife behind him, and did not return for some time. In June, 1837, witness was on a visit to Admiral Ommaney. Mr. and Mrs. Dundas were there. There was a great disturbance in the room.one evening, and witness went to the room and pacified them. He was in a violent passion, and her clothes were torn. In 1837 witness fetched her daughter from Portsea. She had been left there in lodg ings by her husband. She has frequently written to him since, but her letters have never been answered. Cross-examined—After she left in August she lived sometime with witness at Bath. She left because she wished to have an establishment of her own. She pos sesses considerable attractions. She was confined privately at St. John's Wood. The members of the two families attended the marriage. Witness knew nothing of her daughter's pregnancy until six weeks after the birth of the child. After the last separation endeavours were made to bring about a reconciliation. Mr. Burslem was desired to he t he mediator. Witness had not seen the defendant since this occurrence. Col. Burslem, the husband of last witness, corroborated the testimony, and detailed the negotiations between the' two families, which ended in the marriage. Captain' Dune das and his son appeared to be reluctant to the marriage. Captain Berkeley lived In the same village with.' the, plaintiff and his wife in Wiltshire. On one oceasion - Mia. Dundas came to plaintiff's house, and complained of her _• husband's conduct. Witness aaid, the best persons to cart- - suit were the father and mother of the witness. Witness' remembered on one occasion going to - Salisbury in their . carriage with them to a ball. Witness returned in the carriage with two other gentlemen and Mrs. Dundas. Mr. Dundas was on the box.

Mr. MESMER, in reply said, that if the conduct of the plaintiff had been such as his Learned Friend bad repro. seated it to be, no terms of reprobation would be too strong to characterise it ; but ho utterly [failed to prove his allegations by the evidence be had called. There was no proof that the plaintiff himself was averse to the marriage; on the contrary, the evidence of Mrs. Burslem proved that the plaintiff had renewed his visits to Miss Burslem after her confinement. Neither was there any proof that the defendant conducted himself with harshness and cruelty towards his wife after their marriage--that he had neglected her, had exposed h er t o t emptat i on, cr had ever deovri.sedthmateahnse for getting rid of her. The disgrace of setting up such a defence must recoil upon the heads of those who had instructed his Learned Friend. Lord DENMAN summed up the case, and the Jury re turned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages One Farthing. 21) C ta 1 : I the ar t( Lo lati froi tan Mil MA ttei offi Op
