VDTTIOT47) THE LATE PRINCE OF CANINO• The following is a brief sketch o' the life of Lucien Bonaparte, whose death was announced in The Sun of Thursday : " Lucien Bonaparte, Prince of Canino, youngar brattier of the Emperor Napoleon, was born in Ajacc'e in 1775. He was twelve years old when the French lis:volutiou commenced. In 1793, compelled by Paoli *to quit Corsica with his fasnily, be took refuge in Pro vence, and in the same year was appointed keeper ot the m-igazine of• military stores at St. Maximin, in the Ver, where he afterwards married Mdile. Christine B ,yer, who was of a respectable family, but too nume rous to be rich. Being a commissary of the army in , 1795, he was two years afterwards na med Deputy from the department of the Liamone to the Council of Five nonsked. President of this Council at the 18th Bru maire, he displayed durieg the stormy sitting of that day bseh energy and coolness. On the proclamation of Lis - hrother as First Consul, Lucien became a member of the tribunal created by the new Constitution, and a short time after Minister of the Interior, in the room of i. iplace. In this office he displayed both zeal and tietitit, and granted to the arts and artists, men of science and literature, the most marked protection and eticouragement. He also contributed to the organiza tion of the prefectures. In the month Brumaire, An. 9, Liscien set out for Spain as Ambassador, and soon ourx the confidence of the King and the Prince of P-erne. When the war with Portugal broke out, the Seoaish and French armies jointly occup ied Elves, and tr. , aty, much in favour of the French, was signed at i'esdajoz, on 29th November, 1801. Lucien afterwards had an active share in establishing the kingdom of Etruria, sod in procuring the cession to France of the Ditehies ot Parma, Piacenza, and Guastella. On the 9na of March, 1802, Lucien entered a second time upin the tribuneship, and on the 18th of May was the official person who procured the adoption of the law for the Legion of Honour. At this time he was Grand Officer of the Legion, member of the Grand Council of Administration of the Order, and a Scuator. The estate of Soppetsdorf, in the Duchy of Treves, was given to him, and, on the 3d of February, 1803, he was elected a member ot the Institute, for the ctiss of French language and Literature. In July, 1603, b e went to the departments of the Rhine to take possession of the estates allotted to the Legion of Hii neur, and, on returning to Paris, married, tor his second Madame Jourberthon, the widow of a stockbroker. In August, 1804, he went to reside in Italy ; and af ter stopping some time at Pesara, near Uibino, went to Rome, where the Pope gave him a most gracious recep tits]. where he determined on remaining. The Peace cf Tilsit in 1807 led Napoleon to visit his ha iian State', and in November of that year he arrived at Mantua vete re he was met by Lucien. When Napoleon rut afore! to Paris, Lucien went back to Rome, and Aug,. :-‘lO, set out for the United States, but his vessel during a 4 - ttietlt sterna was driven on the coast of Cagliari, in Sardinia. He in -Jain solicited permission from the King of S,.rdinia to land on that island, and the Eng- Minister at the Sardinian Court, hAving refused to avant him a sate conduct, he put to sea again, and was .nimost, at the mouth of the harbour, captured by two English frigates which were cruising there, and taken to Malta, where he remained four months, waiting the of the British Government. In the suppsi 4,aii that the voyage of the Prince de Canino had a pelitici object, the English Ministry oruered tnitt Ile s• oa'd he sent to Worcester. Tile Prince was :if:not-d -i ,_iv fl:Mosed anther, and, having sent for Lis tinnily. isicti three years at that place in a hand:orne and corn "no,lious r, sitienee, greatly respected, and amusing him with literature. Tne political events of 1814 e e,;torert him to liberty, and he repaired to Rome, where Pius Vil. endeavoured, by his friendly perso tsions to ts ; but his fraternal effeetion would not allow i"eito to rt main a cold spectator of the misfortunes of t Eniperor, to whom he wrote several times. arid who showed himself sensible to his attentions. Ine evects of 1815 having replaced Napoleon on the imperial throne, Lucien returned t,) Paris, end was ett,,led to the Climber of Peers. After the disaster (it VV.iterloo, Lucien retired to Neuilly, and at the end of June set out for Italy ; but he was stopped at Turin, pod ;vas compelled to await there the decision of the n t t ;.:ll iovereiens. The faithful friendship of Pius VII. was su-ncessFully exerted in his favour, and he re ecived p „ m i ss i o :e to proceed to Rome, where he esta biished himself in the Villa RufEnella, near Frascati."

A PUPPY IN Cot;RT.—Richard Morton, a young man rustily dressed, hut wilt) wristbands turned some s . x. inches over the cuff of his coat, rings on his fingers, au eye•glass attached to a heavy brassy looking chain, anil a puppy in his cram attended to show cause tigilinst his paying his washfirrottian's bill to the amount of 6s. 41d. The plaintiff having stated her case, The defendant pleaded his shirts had been so scar' washed that they were not fit to be seen in, cud that he told the plaintiff if they were not betfaS " got up," be would not pay fur them. The washerwoman declared that there was not a speck upon the linen when it was seat home, and that it was is white as snow. It's false," said the defendant in a pompous manner. " It's not false," said the plaintiff pretty tartly, t‘ and the reason why you refuse to pay me i 3, because you ehols._ to go skittle-playing of nights, and in a boat up to Blttersea of a Sunday. " Woman I" excl.iimed the defendent, in a very towering monumentish rage. " Puppy 1" retorted the washerwoman. And then they went at it, Mr. Richard Morton magisterial, but loud and passionate ; and the washer unman waspish and quite as noisy ; and the 731Tpy— thefour•legged one—snapped and growled, and took his master's parr, as heartily as if he had been a better dog. You arc a puppy !" shouted the washerwoman, " You know you're a puppy—your mother says you are. She told me•so." The real puppy here yoked and snapped most de fuly. A COMMISSIONER (lauelino-officer, put the puppy out of Cann. . :Mr. Richard Morton looked hard at the Commis sioner, and lost all his pomposity and half his colour. Tue COMMISSIONER.

The CommisstoriEtt(looking at the defendant ray tiler signifieantly)—Will you swear you did not wear tin, linen that was " not fit to be seen in ?" The defen:lant held down his head, played with his e ye...zlass, and patted his puppy. The COURT iffinnediately d,CICI2II that he was t) pay the demand forthwith. What do you think of yourself now, puppy ?" said the plaintiff, with an aggravating grin of triumph. ll- you," thundered Mr. Itchard Morton, giv iiirr..bis puppy an unlucky knock on the head as he suited the action to the word. _ _ Yelp, yelp, yelp," mouthed the animal. " Turn 1/'.E puppy out of Court," said a COM.. NIVSSIONER. Yes, turn him out," thoutel the washerwoman. i• Turn him out." Mr. 11.14:11..r1 Morton went off, "looking," as the plain t;ff said, " like a ha'perth of so a p a f ter a h ar d d ay ' s washing:' SUDDEN DEATH--Thursday afternoon a g,ntlernan alighted from his horse at the shop of Mr. Ander il son , biscuit-baker, Old Kent-road, and on entering complained of suiden indisposition, and requested to be allowecit c o o s n ea l tti ned self for a few moments till he should recover. He had scarcelyi seated himself when be fell backwards, and expired. Medical assistance was sent for, but it was found of no avail. There were no papers found on his person to lead to a discovery of his identity. He had a valuable gold watch in his pocket. The ineidn of the horse's saddle bore the name of " Simpson, saddler, New: Cross." RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—EarIy yesterday morn ing, when the luggage trains were on their way from Liverpool to Manchester, a very serious accident, occasioning the loss of property to the amount of nearly 10001. occurred. The train belonging to Mr. Hargreaves was following, at a distance, the train belonging to the Liverpool and Manchester Company (which included some timber carriages), and, when proceeding up . the incline, a connecting rod broke belonging to the car riages in the first train, which, being thus loosened, ran back down the incline at. a tremendous speed, and as a matter of course came in collision with Mr. Hargreaves train, smashing everything bef,re them. Three casks of wine and a hogshead of spirits were stove in and emptied of their contents; and we hear that one of the engineers could not resist the temptation of having some liquor free of expense, and took so much, that a little time afterwards, when attempting to step from the engine to the tender (the train having started), he fell upon the rail, the wheels of the carriage passing over and killing , him Preston Pilot. A letter, with the following address, was received at the Leicester Post-office, on Wednesday ;—(Literal)—" To Mr. gudes of bagby Leicestershire under *he care of the man who keeps the head in at three Cranes Leicestershire town." Prescot Post Mark. EXTRAORDINAR Y FISH.`--On Sunday last some fishermen who were employed in taking mackerel off Blici leigb, Salterton, caught in their net a fish of the whale species, measuring 19 feet in length, and weighing about 20 cwt. The narmr,by which this fish is known to naturalists is the " Lesser Itorqual," and it frequents the coasts; of Iceland, No-wav, and Greenland. It is very active in its habits, and its ordinary length is about 25 feet. One measuring 10 feet was caught by Dr. Knox, in 1834, off the coast of Scotland, and one has been caught in France, but this is the first specimen, we be lieve, taken near the shores of our own country. It is men tioned by Dr. Scoresby, in his account of the wh a l es of the j _Northern Seas, and a fall description of it may be found in Jardirre's Naturalist's Library. The fish now caught was dead ' w hen landed upon the shore, but it had been seen pla)ing abOut in the water only a short timepreviously. — Western Luminary. f ......,...,,,,..„..„,_„,„!........,,_,..„...„_.„.

The E of Wtomow was afraid the temperance movement might be taken advantage of to promote po pular excitement, though it will not be drunken ex citement. The Marquis of WESTMEATH reiterated his sneers at temperance, and the subject dropped. The Earl of ABERDEEN withdrew his Bill anent giving peace to the Scottish Kirk, chiefly because the violent members of that hick repudiated, and because the Government were opposed to it. So ends ano her legislative abortion of a Session fruitful of miscarriage:. The report on the Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Bill was received, after the Bishop of EXETER had un dertaken the particular task of defending the Corporation of Dublin. Several verbal amendments were made, and the Duke of WELLINGTON s.uggeAed that the taxa tion clause should be amended. _ . The Administration of Justice Bill went through a Committee with amendments, and at a Quarter before Eight their Lordships adjourned. The SPEXICER informed the Commons that the oppo nents to the return of Mr. BOTFIELD for Ludlow had withdrawn their opposition. Mr. Muxrz gave notice, that on Monday he will move that on divisions strangers should not be ex cluded from the Gallery. Mr. EASTUOPE is next Ses sion to renew his motion as to Church- rates. In reply to Capt. POLHILI., Mr. LABOUCHERE stated , hat. the Regency. Lill would he forthwith brought into the House. ifie Order of the Day being rr.oved for a Com mittee of Supply, Mr. WALLACE called the attention of the House to the Report of the Select Ctim mittee appointed to inquire icto the Court of S,s,ion. Ind at the conclusion of his observations withdrew the otori‘m be had announced on the sulik.et. Mr. T. DUNCOMBF., with that devotion to the good of the people which has emle4red him to his eonstuuents, next moved a resolution disapproving 01 exposing persons to be treated as felons who were sea !cum{ to imprisonment for politir•al offences. He re ferred particularly to the case of LOVETT and Cot- LINS, and stated that he agreei with every word of that !the! for which they were punished. He said their treatment was harsh, and even unparalleled. The Hon. Member also brought most of those cases under the notice of the House, of which we have already laid he particulars before our readers, and spoke of the treatment which these persons had received with just indignation. Mr. WAKLEY seconded the motion, but concluded by expressing a Lope that his Hon. Colleague would not divide the House on it, relying on the assurances of the Under• Secretary of State, that the system 'Dad been improved. Ile wished all persons to be placod under the control of the S,: , :retary of State. S r G. STRICKLAND would have brought the citse of vile prisoners in the Wakefield House of Correction under notice, but he knew the Hon. Member for Fins bury would do it better than he should, and he left it in in his hind 4. _ Mr. Fox MAULE went through the different cases, and showtd that in several the prisoners bad beet, allowed to have a and hail received other indul gences. He denied that the police were employed at spies, and justified the sentence of Messrs. LOVETT and CoLLINs. The debate which ensued occupied the whole evening. Mr. D'lsnAeu spoke against the Government, and described it trampli►.g down the liberties of the people Mr. WARBURTON thought the Government had completely carried the nation with it in the prosecutions li,d instttuted, but that the prisoners had been punished more severely than the law warranted. It Hon. Friend divided the House, he would vote for his resolution. Mr. WAtty took the same view. Mr. BRUGES condemned very severely the conduct of' Mr. ROBERTs, CARRIER, and others, and thought they deserved to be very severely punished. Mr. Sergeant TAI.FoURD explained that the great subject of complaint was, that all these persons were suffering a more severe punishment than the law ordered: Lord ; JoHN RUSSELL defended the conduct of the Government, and spoke with some bitterness of those who, after the danger was passed, excited or promoted complaints against the administration of the law. The persons were punished according to law, and he hoped the House would not agree to the vague resolution of Mr. T. DUNCOMBE. Mr. HUME expressed his regret at the language used by the Noble Lord, and at the tone he had employed. Sir ROBERT PEEL referred the prisoners to the law if they were illegally punished, and very chivalrously ex plained that the real culprit in the ca-e, the cause of all the cruelties, was the law, as passed at his suggestion by a boroughmongering House of Commons. He rather taunted the Members with nut having amended the law, while he and his followers hive laboured most assidu ously and continuously to obstruct every amendment, and have kept the monstrous law he defended on the Statute-book. As the people know on his au thority that the law is the great culprit, and as they are taunted by him for not amending the law, we h pc they will take the hint and insist—and if they do insist, Sir ROBERT is not the man to deny them—on the had law being swept awa). Sir R. PEEL is one of those persons who think if they can plead a law, every injustice and every cruelty is warranted. A Judge who has only to administer the law may make such an excuse, hut a legislator is bound, above and before all things, to make just and good laws, not to plead his own unjust enactments as a complete defence of the cruelties which flow iron: tin m. After Mr. AGLIONBY and Mr. C. BULLER hid spoken, the House divided on Mr. T. DUNCoMBE ' S tnoti-n, and decided against it by 117 to 29. The Committee of Supply was postponed.

By If they can dispense with one regulation they can firing also from the spot whence OXFORD fired, dispense with all, and if Mr. FOX MAULE were the probable direction and distance of the balls, if • he fired any, might have been ascertained. More over, it is probable that the inside of the barrel, after a pistol is discharged, presents a different appearance, as it may have been loaded with ball, or only with powder. There are many considerations of this kind which military men would have suggested ; and, to make the case complete, such evidence ought, we think, in the absence of more certain and more painful proofs that the pistols were loaded with ball, to have been adduced. It was not ; and the Jury were not convinced that the pistols were loaded with ball, which probably strengthened their con viction that the prisoner was insane. We must acknowedge that we are glad that the life of the wretched youth is saved by the ver dict of the Jury. To spill blood at the gallows, when the victim is bound and h e l p l ess, who tt , c mighty mass of society are handed a ,, a i ltet , and there is no hope of escape, is perhaps one of the mist revolting species of homicide, and one which experience has now proved is extremely in jurious to the society which initcts it. Wit stied) a trial ought to have something more for its object OW to save a life or condemn a fellow-creature to death. death. to assert the contrary Lill the Greek Kalends, no human being would believe him. For all the par ticulars of this interesting but afflicting discussion we must refer our readers to the Parliamentary re port. To Mr. DUNComBE the greatest praise is due. With every wish to support the Government, and voting with them in every question that threatens their stability, he does not so fat forget the princi ples of liberty and independence which actuate him more, perhaps, than any Member of the House, as to shrink front denouncin g measures which cast op- I probnum, not only on Ministers, but on all who support them. Ott cvery occasion he is the friend and advoc.ite of the oppressed, and the enemy of their oppressors, whether these be Tory, Whig, or Radical. Arid this is the man whom some of the electors of Finsbury would supplant by a venerable gentleman who would close the Zoological G‘irdens on Sunnav, and carry out to I the utmost till those Puritanical Acts, for which we have rehicantly denon"ced Mr. Fox MAuLE, and the New Police. We observe that the Hon. conduct , ei r u b :: adver t ed v a er i t ) e u c t l ic t e u m s a o i l l n , e w i r l e o l , r) a a r t ks the of su o e u g rs es o t i r o t n tle o r l. , . his lii , pecitor, dressed as a butcher, and feigned illness, in order to entrap an innocent woman. He, of course, juqtlied our anitnadversions ; but the UNDER-SECRETARY, instead of simply asserting that this man was not a spy, would have done well tg state what investigation had taken pkoe, and what punishment had been inflicted for such au outrageous attempt to punish a woman for an act of charity and mercy to the vety policeman who UMW forward to convict her, Not a word has been said on the subject since the details were coin umoicated to thy Home-office. Are they too wicked to bear ;he light of day ?

We are compcilcd, reluctantly, to reprobate measures like these, because we are d es irous that. the (lovernment should succeed, and because we are convinced from our knowledge of the public mind, that by adopting, or even per mitting, such a line of conduct towards political prisoners, Lord MELBOURNE and Lord ~Toter ItUsSELI, are taking the IPQNt oPlItlii! Pv-Wls to tk'WoY their pokical power, and pave the way to office of a party who would inflict gteat calamities cn the country, - To lning home guilt conclusively to any person is one thing, to inflict punishment exactly com mensurate with that guilt is another and di>onct thing; and %%bile the former is the duty of society I for its own advantage, the latter seems to he &Ili, cult of appreciation, if it be not wholly beyond the faculties of man. What relation, for example, there is between OXFORD'S firing a pistol, sup posing him to he sane, anti hangliT, him, we kiiow not ; but it is of infinite iinportanee to the peace of society to ascertain all the causes which led to staph a vicious act, and to take measures to remove thea f , if tliqt can be done. Now, verdict of insanity assumes that the ingtiyes of such a person are beyond all rale—are up ceouut ai)le, or miraculous. as it were -,—or, at least, ate pe culiar to the organizition of the individual, and are not to be found in other persons. 11 such a %w -het, thotelh it save his life, shein!d stop investiga t'ithl Itfave all the causes of his aberration in ftrli force, it woald tigt Ilr sotsfiwtoty if ! tbe . riblic- His trial was only to establish the fiet of Ins inno cence or guilt ; the more important question is, how insanity in loin Caine to take that peculiar shape. It is quite doe that society cootains, and cfl, ways has contained, many peisops temporarily or permanently alienated from reason, Ott stich weak-minded individuals the doctrines of those who are not themselves deluded have a powerful effect. They are selected by hypocrites for their dupes, and by scoundrels as their tools. Those who are nut rall,ticised themselves, but assume fanaticism for their purposes, can easily fanaticise these weak or disorganized persons ; and on those who influence them rests the responsibility, however difficult to trace it, of the delinquencies of their dupes. We do not charge the King of HANOVER with plotting to take away the life of the QUEEN. Fie never saw OXFORD, and never directed anybody to communicate with him ; but neither did the PoPE nor the General of the Jesuits, we believe, see either DAMIEN Or RAVAILLAC, or counsel the crimes they perpetrated. No particular teacher can be pointed out as having instructed FIESCHI and ALIBAUD ; they caught their madness from the ex agri;erated and distempered doctrines of a party, and thought they were acting meritoriously in carrying them into execution. A hasty exclamation of HENRY 11. is said to have led some of his zealous servants to murder InoM As A'IIEcKETT. Or even, though no hint' were ever g iven, some forward persons might plot mischief from supposing it to he advantageous to their masters. Neither the King of HANOVER, therefore, nor his immed,ate friends, may ever have bad any com - nunication with OXFORD ; and yet the denun ciations Of her M AJESTY by ins pal tisans---1 he man ner in which the QUEEN was held up to opproln win at Canterbury, Livetpo o yc l t , rio a nf i e n s l It da I _!—the bru ntl language used towards her by the Mails and S'anclards, may have ki ndledi. tti is I he dnesiteeviecivkuleuila)itictlN.eeEr,astaNTi‘rol:Liseit the croall 11 re lt o ) e nt r e : i n reti g tue r,saeasLiiot of shall regret if the investigation wholly terminate with the trial. A good deal was said in the course of it about die letters written to the prisoner being in his (mu handwraing ; but might that not have been done to avo,d all chalice of cr minatiog another, while it gave the prisoner all the information he desired. Conspirators are accus agitiiiiil e h l: e h a e % q e u a i l k p e a : r i ti i c i i i i d ia u t c o e r d s :a u e t wined to take bonds, as it were, that all should be (pallyiheir crimes, the letters that lie might appear as guilty - as the others, and be unable, if treacherous, to convict diem. We cannot assert that his associates have been sufficiently traced or examined, and cannot for a moment believe that the verdict, though it exone rates him completely, disprove:3 the existence of persons who have profited weakness, and have urged him on. Among the disappNinted ul tras, there may be some who are nearly as mad as OXFORD, but with a great deal more cunning, who have used his madness to attain their own wicked ends. At any rate, the do.:trines which may have fired his insanity may fire that of others. Society abounds in fearful portents as to the state of men's minds; there is probably a great fund of such latent insanity in existence, and they who rouse it into life, though they be Reverends, or Right Reve rends, Right Honourables or Most Nobles, ought to be held responsible, unless the plea of insanity can be alleged in their favour, for the mischief they cause. Without questioning the propriety of the ver dict, we may observe that some of the circum stances dwelt on as proofs of insanity, in other minds are regarded as the signs of a generous and noble ambition. He would go to sea, he said, and become Admiral Sir EDWARD OxFonn, a germ of ambition similar to that which had led NELSON to many victories and many honours. He was anxious to be spoken of, to be noticed, to acquire notoriety. Why scores and hunch eds of calculating men, who ate considered very acute, pay for advertise. tnents, or speak lon g sp eec hes, which they carefully correct,or make furionsanslauo h ts on those whom they have formerly called Noble or Right Honotuable Friends, and are content to issue with then own stamp the spurious coinag e of the To r y p ress—are content even to earn t h e last'ung and just hatred of their fello y r r c, a I w :s - d i o n oih t e . have cteil t :i l t ec i the tiii. i ro r i l ts e jo a vl s ei e u , iii which, i i f ni l as to d e crimeout guy wt: see soy w Lary notori e ty.

Even in the report made by a Select Committee on that Railway Bill, to the Chamber of Peers, the fact is noticed as a gratifying proof of the increase of good feeling, and popular friendly relations between the people of the two countries, " What has particularly struck your Committee," says the Report to the Peers just al luded to, " has been the names, among other sub• scribers, of those Erglish capitalists who have so powerfully contributed to the formatio❑ of those lines of railway which at present cover their own countty. Half of the capital for the proposed line has bee❑ subscribed in England, and will he spent in the pay ment of French workmen. This union of English and French capital is a happy omen of the con tinuation of that alliance which causes these t great nations. mutually assisting one anotht r, to twitch at the head of civilizydynrope, and, in con solid,Ating peace, to ensure the welfare of all." This is the language of patriots and statesmen, and the fact of i;s having been addressed by a Coin : mittee of Peers to that body in its legislative capacity, impresses us with a higher opinion cf the good sense of the French Peerage than we ever previously entertained. In this country, we know, the d.frus►ou of such sentiments will give unqualified satisfaction to honest men ot• every party. Our countrymen have at last discovered that nature, instead of in- tending England and France to be enemies, de signed them to be friends and allies—to live in good neighbourhood one with the other, and in the con stant interchange of acts of kindness and benevo lence. That Frenchmen have made a similar dis covery is not more certain than delightful to us. To a few old rooted prejudices on both sides, which tine and the spread of intelligence will filially eradicate, we can mutmaily afford to make large concessions. Having established a re putation for courage as durable as the world itself, France and England can afford to live p:-aceably, their repose undi.turbed by circum stances which might embroil natioils of more equi vocal pretensions in fierce hostilities. To either of th,:in no glory cal henceforth accrue from shed ding the blood of the other. To peace, then— lasting peace--and the realization of its innume rable blessings, be the thoughts of the English and French people directed for the time to come. The Governments, we are happy to observe, are fore most in setting a good example to their subjects. It is from no fault either of M. THIERS or Lord PA LM ERSTON that the commerce between the two countries continues to be burthened with restrictions injurious to the true interests of both ; nor are the Cabinets of London and Paris responsible for the existence of any jealousy which may be yet enter tained by factions, - whether iu France or England, of the moral influence which public opinion in one country is acquiring in regulating not only particu lar acts, but the general conduct of the other. As regards each other, the Governments of France and England have done, and are doing, their duty with perfect good faith, and in a spit it admirably calculated to realize the blessing so patriotically hoped for by the French Chamber of Peers. On Thuridav the Chamber of Peers passed the Paris and Rouen Railway Bid, by a majority of 98 votes against 22. The proposed line from Rouen to Havre has received the sanction of the Penis, who, in their report, recommend it to be begu.i next year.

EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL FIVE DAYS LATER FROM NEW YORK. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY NOON. By the New York packet ship, England, Captain Waite, we have received New York dates to the 20th ult., and Montreal papers to the 17th. The England arrived this 'nothing, making her passage, in twenty days ; she has brought thirty three cabin pasen,, ,, ers. The Great Western ar rived at New York on the morning of the 19th— the voyage having been performed in less than fifteen days. The passage seems to have been Ten dered agreeable and pleasant to the passengers, who passed some very flattering resolutions commending the able conduct and polite attention of Captain Hoskin. The rate of Exchange was falling, and was quoted at 6 and 64. On Havre 5 30 to 32; Hanihurgh, 351 ; ; United States Bank Share, 752. These papers contain no news of much importance. Trade was very dull, as will be seen from the fol lowing extracts from the New York Daily Ex- press:— CITY NEWS.—THURSDAY, P.M. Exchange on England is drooping, and there is a less demand than we have known for a long time. Cotton goes forward rapidly, but with this exception the trade with England has fallen off astonishingly. The demand for bills is comparatively nothing, except to pay interest with. The demand for this purpose is probably about a hundred thousand dollars a month. The amcunt cf dry, or any other English goods arriving is very small, with no pros pect of any increase. The Stock market has continued very steady for several days past. There is an immense interest at stake with brokers and others to cause constant fluctuations in prices, as it is on the fall and rise that money is made and lost; and persons are to be found worthless enough to put reports afloat for the purpose of af fecting not only Stocks, but the credit of our most respectable houses. Last week it was extensively circu lated that one of the late, or one of the present officers of the United States Bank in Philadelphia had com mitted large embezzlements; since which it has been proved to be wholly false, and the object was to affect the stock ; this week it has been rumoured that a great mercantile house was to stop early in the week, and, then, that a large broker in Wall-street was also to stop; re ports without the shadow of truth, and the authors ought to he severely punished. The Gov. ruor of Pensylvania has called on the Banks of that Star!, f r one million two hundred thousand dol !ars, which sum they arc obliged to loan at five per cent.

Anson Brown, of New York, will be announced in the House to morrow morning. Mr. Curtis, of this city, has known him lone and well, and probably will be called up to announce the death of his colleague with the customary resolutio s. The Bankrupt Bill still slumbers upon the table of the President of the Senate. The friends of the measure dread its fate, and seem to fear to call it forth. I know of but two Administration Senators at present who will vote for it--Mr. Walker of Miss. and Mr. Norvell of Michigan. Mr. Buchanan, I understand, is to submit the motion of postponement nominally, with the view of obtaining an ex pression of opinion from the people, but in reality with a view of postponing action until the Presidential election is over. Mr. Bell has made a very able speech in the House of Representatives to-day, upon the Sub-Treasury. Hi s subjects have been, among others, the prolific but interest ing ones of Eeecutiee Power, Banking, its increase, and the causes of that increase, and expenditures. He shows that the President has, in many important particulars—in removals from office, for example—a greater power than the Crown of England. There, many of the important officers, nearly all, if not all, connected with the Treasury, are beyond the contr.' of the King. The banks, from Executive documents, he proves, have been multiplied by the friends of the Executive, and but for the enor mous imports growing out of the over-trading com plained of, he shows that the Government would now have been thirty millions in debt. Mr. Bell also ably porters o f t h e A dm i n i strat i o n upon the subject of a United set forth the incons istenc y of the su p - States Beek and other institutions —condemning prac tices by professions, and professions by pretences. Mr. Banks, of Virginia, professed to think many of these mat ters irrelevant to the why ct, merely because they were pungent. When his own friends have spoken, it has been in order to speak of all subjects, from abolition to the selling of white men, and from matters pet sone! to Gene ral Harrison, to those ell-impoi tent to Mr. Van Buren. But that which is an offence for one, is considered very proper for another.

(Front the New Orleans Bulletin, of June 8 ) FROM TEXAS. By the arrival of the stt am-packet New York, Captain Wright, we have received Galveston papers to► the 3d inst. They contain no further news from the western frontier, and little else of general interest. The Cr ilian says business of every kind is completely at a stand, and our wharves, which, during the wild:sr wore such a business-like appearance, are about deserted; everything is dull, the merkets being confined to small sales of articles fur immediate consumption.

'There is much in this tale that ta minds us of Coope tic! Arrc rican 'ovelist, tut we are not reminded of bins ser‘ile inntat•ous at cis in nine', but merely be cause Mr. Heffinan—ae author of G:eysliter—re • sorts occasionally to the same sources of interest in his Red Indian sketches, his hackwoodc,men, and hi details of wild adventures in the depths of American iorests. Tito periad of which he treats is the corn in,,ncement of the great transatlantic revolution, when their border wars were just beginning to exhiht symp toms of that determined and savage spirit by which they were soon alter characterized ; and the scene of his story is laid principal y in the woods and fertile valiey of the Mohawk. This enables him to present us with several striking sketches of Iroquois manners and characters, as also of the landscape scenery of that—in those days—wild and impressive district. Among other personages whom he brings prominently before us, is the celebrated Iroquois chief, Tnayendanagea, b Ater known in Europe by the nave of Captain Brant, who visited England about the middle of the last eentuty, was ire reduced to George the Third, who took a great fancy to him, and was on terms of fa miliar acquaintance with all the most illustrious person ages not only in this country but in France also. On the return of this half cividzed Indian Chief—for he never wholly laid aside his habits of savage life—to his native streams and forests, he found the British colonies in a state c,f general excitement ; and at the instigation of Sir John Jua was induced to take part with the Crown, to which he rendered the most efficient assist ance, pessessing more influence over the Indians than, perhaps, any chief before or since his time ever possessed. We remembi r reading some months since an able me moir of this t xtraordinary individual in the Niwth Ante rican Review, and Mr. Hoffman, in the work hetore us, bas drawn his character with singular spirit and minute ness. Indeed we do not know when we have been better pleased with a portrait, or -one that has more rivetted our attention. There are several other well-drawn characters in the talc—especially those of Greysluer and Alicia Dc Roos—but Brant's is the one in which the author has been most successful. COURT CIRCULAR.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE COUNTRY. —The following instance of the imperfect state of communication , in the North, about ninety years since, has been commu nicated to us by a gentleman well versed in local antiquities and general inf,rmation. When the late Principal Macleod of King's College, Aberdeen, was desirous of returning with his moiher and family to the island of Skye, he apple(' for a post-chaise in Aberdeen, but found that the only public car riage in the city, fit for the road, had gone that day to Ar broath. There was another vehicle, but it wanted a wheel, an' the only person in Aberdeen that could repair it was laid up drunkenness!'with The first coup cart made in the North was constructed under the superinttAndence of the late Mr. Welsh of Milburn, of ash grown in the islod in the river Ness, about the year 1775. This article of daily use (formerly all the carts in the Highlands were made GI rungs or small sticks, of the rudest description) was copied by Mr. Welsh from a cart used in the transport of pri,oners from Perthshire, to be tried at our Circuit Court of Justiciary. The first straight furrow in ploughing land in the province of Moray, was made by the late Mr. Thomas Duni can, farmer in Alves, shout sixty years since. The worthy farmer marked out the straight lines by means of holes placed in the field, - and his neighboors, when they saw these prepara tions fur 'ploughing, thought Mr Dunean's mind had fairly gone a-jee!" The late mini•ter of Dort s, the woolly Mr. Nl•Killivan, u ed to derlare that when he went first to college at Aberdeen, about eighty years aga, there was not a yard of stone dyke nn the high road from Inverness to Aberdeen, ex celling a small patch at Gordon Castle.--Inverness Courier. THE WEATHER.—The Iti'catllec ` lttls been most unseasonable fur the last. fortnight, a heavy weight of rain hav ing fallen, and the temperature generally being as low as it was in Marels. A Alids.mmer like this can scarcely be remem hered; p-nple hustle thrcugh the streets , s - rapped up in down th,-road coats and Mackintoshes, and- Christmas fires burn brightly in nearly every pailour. These things afford but a miserable prospect for the hay harvest.
