Thi storm may, and doubtless will be weathered, bu fearful calamities may be occasioned, and many valuable lives sacrificed, unless the prevailinp disaffection be nipped in the bud. With Si. PATEIOK GRANT on the spot, and Sir CoLIN CAMPBELL speeding to his destination, we ma) rest in the assurance that every thing which skil ful generalship may devise, will be accomplished. But the head to direct is useless, without the hand to execute. Thews and sinews, bone and muscle are also required, and not an hour should be lost THE SUN, LOINEON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY is, lAti7 iin despatching the regiments destined for the sea vice, so that they may appear on the scene of action at the earliest possible moment. The delay of a single week, almost of a day, might increase the danger a hundred fold, and induce parties, now hesitating, to commit them selves irreparably on the side of the mutineers. The fate of the Anglo-Indian Empire—the lives of our brethren now quartered in the out stations—may depend on the promptitude and activity displayed within the present wpek. Much has already been sacrificed on the shrine of " red tapisna," but more may now be lost by a rigid adherence to routine, then on all previous occa• sions. We have the troops, and we have adequate means of conveying them. The regiments ordered out can be assembled at the ports from whence they are to embark within a very few days, and we have screw steamers, which could be made available within the time. But to do this, all the Admiralty regulations respecting the transport system must be altered. "My Lords" must act in accordance with the spirit of the age and the exigencies of the crisis. Any demand that may be made on the guardians of the na tional purse, will be willingly complied with. Any additional number of seamen will be granted without a moment's hesitation. But there must be no " dawdling," no squandering of valuable time, in considering in what manner our resources are to be brought into operation. • We are told that a steam squadron is to start at once for the Indian Seas. That is a step in the right direction, and, unquestionably, the steamers will prove valuable auxiliaries. But it is lard forces that are chiefly required, and there is no reason why every vessel should not also convey a due proportion of soldiers or of marines. The delay would be very trifling, and the contest must, from its very nature, be fought on land, and at some considerable distance from the sea coast. Lord CANNING has, it appears, very judiciously adopted means to intercept the troops already despatched for China, so that he will the sooner obtain the co-operation of a trained body of men. The magnitude of the emergency fully justifies the step. They are, it appears, to be replaced by Marines, who are peculiarly qualified for a struggle such as that now taking place in the Celestial Empire. This is also right. But everything depends on our transports, and under the circum stances, we believe that there is not a single officer or sailor in the Royal Navy who would not cheerfully submit to any inconvenience to render their best service to the nation. We fear not that they will discharge their duty ! It is the Admi ralty Board that mrtst be kept up to the mark— that must be stimulated to exertion. The screw frigates, aye, and the gunboats, can do all that is required, and if the work is not performed, those on whose shoulders the responsibility of the failure must rest., will have a heavy account to render to their injured country. A lay of reckoning will surely arrive, and that perhaps more speedily than may be antici pated. We trust that the House of Commons will not remain indifferent or apathetic, but that some independent member will ventilate the question in such a manner as to enforce that com pliance with the exigencies of the case which its vast importance so urgently demands. We have long directed attention t 3 this subject, and can safely say that if our suggestions had been acted on the danger would have been greatly dimi nished, if not altogether removed, and we are happy to find that the Leviathan, as on many other points, is gradually but steadily coming round to the views which we have so earnestly advocated. We earnestly entreat attention to an aztiele on he all-important subj9ct of the Currency, which we have extracted from our valued contemporary tnd collaborateur the Derbyshire Courier, and which will be fund in another part of this day's m press ion. The ponderous efforts of the Times to pooh-pooh ;he subjec 4 , prove beyond the possibility of doubt ;hat all is not going quite so smoothly in corn aiitee, as Lord OVERSTONE and his disciples desire! We cannot believe that Mr. JAMES WILSON, whose able aiticle,o and speeches on the monetary laws, elevated him to the position he now occupie?, can succumb to such a man as Sir GEORGE CORNE WALL LEV7IS. He cannot retract the opinions he ince advocated with such extraerlinary power. He has proved beyond the possibility of doubt hat the use of twenty millions of one putel notes would be just as useful to the country as rho discovery of gold to an equal amount in the :;entre of England, and cannot so far forget what is due to his own character and to his patriotic feeling., as to vote against his own con victions for the sake of an office far inferior to that to which be might justly aspire. As the Derbyshire Courier well explains, the L 4,000,000/. now nominally issued against seen ities might just as well be issued by the Sett., tnd rendered inconvertible except in payment of aeration. Indeed, more than double the amount would be required to provide for the 1,200,000/. per week required by the demands of the t ix-c )1- !eetor. The 14,000,0001. is universally allowed to be insufficient. It might have answered when our exports amounted to but 51,000,0001. par tnnutn, but it must be inadequate when the same trade has expanded to 120,000,0001. Lot us then get twenty or thirty millions of small notes, which would liberate an equal amount of gold, and which, as our contemporary justly observes, would constitute "a basis for our circulating medium, not liable to be exported or withdrawn." As we have repeatedly proved, gold will be hoarded during any national emergency, or sink abroad whenever it may suit foreigners to pay a small premium for its use. The Banks of France Ind of Austria have replenished their own stocks at our expense. They have found it well worth their while to sacrifice a few thousands in order to procure the necessary supplies, while we, by our unwise and iniquitous laws, are prohibited from meeting our competitors with their own weapons. A better feeling is, however, rapidly arising, and the currency reformers are becoming more united in their views, and more willing to co-operate 3ordially with each other. This is what is re quired. Minor differences must be forgotten, in order to concentrate all our forces against the bullionist stronghold. As the Times tells us, and we thank it for the admission —"Currency wizards Are to be found at every corner," hard-headed men who will not, and cannot be convinced by the fallacies of the OVERSTONE school. They are assailed in the most sensitive point—the pocket. They find their profits absorbed by the extrava• gant and ruinous rate of discount they are com pelled to pay, and they are not willing to have their substance devoured, and themselves and their families reduced to ruin, to gratify the prejudices And enhance the already overgrown wealth of the moneyocracy. This is the time for exertion. A strong demonstration would now be peculiarl y valuable. We are aware of the influences that are in operation to keep men quiet, to prevent them from censuring the cratt by which moneylenders live. But it is a man's duty to disregard such influences, and to speak out baldly and intelligibly respecting that which his own interes's and those of the community at large imperatively require. Lord OVERSTONE wants a purely metallic cur rency. He would risk anything in order to bring about such a result. He might, however, just as well go back to "barter," and, we believe, that he has declared, not very lung since, that "a state of barter would be preferable to a paper currency." Jt might be so for the wealthy clpitalists, but such would not be the case for the industrial population, who, being compelled to furnish their tale of bricks, in the shape of taxation, justly and reasonably demand that they should be provided with the " straw," or, in other words, with a circulating medium adequate to the wants and exigencies of the country, and which would ensure to every man able and willing to work, that great desideratum, " a fair day'e wages for a fair day's labour," and enable him to be a creator and producer of national wealth, in place of being an unprofitable and miserable consumer—languishing in compul sory idleness, and seeing his family enduring all the privations produced by the most pinching poverty. For once a resolution has been submitted to the House of Commons, which Lord PALMLRSTON did not feel himself called upon to vote against, to meet by the previous question, or even by pairing off—one which was not " injurious to the public service" or "inconvenient ;" on the contrary, one which, though made by a private member, he could cordially support, and wish the House to pass unanimously—a wish to which he found all parties quite ready to accede. Mr. C. BUXTON proposed to address her Majesty, requesting her to use all means in her power to repress the Slave Trade, and to enforc3 the carrying out of treaties made for that purpose, by the nations which have entered into them. Lard PALMERSTON cordially accepted the motion (it makes no d►fferenca whe ther this was pre-arranged or not), assured the House that their decided vote must have great weight with other nations, that it would streoghtben the hands of her Majesty's Government, and that the House might rely on the Government doing its utmost to carry into effect the objects of the address. For once, then, all were unanimous, and every man in his right place. Mr. BUXTON inherits the place which he took, that of an independent an tagonist of slavery and of the Slave Trade ; Lord PALMERSTON was also in his right place, for not any even of his opponents, will deny him the merit of an earnest, persevering, and, on the whole, successful policy on the question of the :lave trade. The only accusation against him has been that of going too far in the coercion of independent nations, guilty of tolerating or not putting down this accursed traffic. A vary meri• torious offence, as we must think ; and even Mr. NEWDEGATE must also appear in his right place, too, lamenting the abolition of protective duties— a folly, in his view, essentially connected with the revised slave trade, to which enlightened faith we must leave him. We do hail, however, the indication of revived attention to the subject. Even with India and China on his hands, Lord PALMERSTON does not mean to let CHRISTINA, ISABELLA, and the mer cenary Spanish Government sleep at ease in their guilt, He means this discussion to intimate to that depraved Court, that the British Parliament requires him to do his duty—a duty he is quite willing to perform. The broad fact is undeniable that we p%id. Spain 400,0001. as a consideration for her giving up the traffic, and that the traffic is now ten times worse than it was then. In 1847 Cuba imported one thousand slave; but during the last two years she has imported twenty thousand ! and this after a treaty, and after receiving the money We cer tainly do not wish to trample on national rights, but we have yet to learn that it is one nation's right to take money of another nation to suppress a hateful traffic, and then not merely not to sup press it, but to nurse it to ten times its former magnitude, and even to enrich its Queen mothers and high officials by allowing them to share the spoils. We need feel no scruple whatever in taking the object of our treaty into our owa hands, if Spain will not accomplish it. We have one remedy—and America as well as Spain might kick at it if she liked, but it would be in vain, if we, were determined to enforce—that is, to declare the slave trade piracy, and to hang at the yard arm at least the captain, and if that wore not enough, the crew too, of all the devils in ha nau form who were caught engaged in the infernal trade. This remedy put an end to it under Eaglish auspices, and it would doubtless be effec tual with Spaniards, Portuguese, and Yankees tao. Sir JAMES BROOKE would, in one twelve month, put an end to this piracy, as he did to the piracy of the savages. It is uaendura.ble to have the captains and crews of those vessels sat at large, and with moneyintheir pockets! Groat Britain has so long and at such heavy sacrifices vindicated fur Africans, the rights of human beings, that she is now entitled to deal with their kidnappers as what they really are, as pirates. Manchester wa4 ramindA, as eve hope she will be from time t 3 time, of her ditty on the subject of slavery. At present she is the grand feet 3r nurse of slavery. It is her demand for cotton which makes a slave worth from 230/. to 30/. ; and it she who has it in her power t 3 create a cotton trade in -Africa which shalt super >ode the present demand on A aerial.. T:l3 article which Manchester cotton spinners want is producel na turally and abundantly in Africa; 10,0301b5. of cotton have already been brought thence in a state fir, for the Manchester market, and nothing is needed but for Mlnchester to devise means t.) encourage the growth of it. We cannot think it would be difficult to devise the means of doing this. Manchester men can be inferior to none in energy ; and already the traffickers in articles, in palm oil especially, have created a trade with Africa to the amount of 3,000,0001. annually. Now that India is so unsettl• it is surely well worth while for our Cotton Lords to direct their special attention to the cotton of Africa. No Government aid is needed there. The palm oil traders have opened the way, and Manchester has but to follow. The Committee on the Mayo Election have nn- I seated Mr. G. H. MOORE on the g round that he I had by his agents been guilty of undue influence, and spiritual intimidation, and made a special re port against certain .I.t.iverend Gentlemen, who made the sacred altars at which they were offi ciating, the scenes of political denunciation, and strife. This is right so far as it goes. No unprejudiced or disinterested person could peruse the evidence produced, without feeling the imperative necessity for protecting the voter in the exercise of his undoubted rights against sacer_Ltal domination. The parties specially re ported against have, unquestionably, merited any punishment that may be iuflict3d on them. But there are other species of tyranny equally obnoxi ous to the law, and which require to b© sum marily suppressed. The alleged justification was that the priestly influence was necessary to over come the landlord influence -- that if one party abstained from such unfair, illegal, and un constitutional proceedings, the others would die play similar moderation. So long, however, as elections are conducted on the present system— so long as the theory advocated by Lord Jonx RUSSELL, that the franchise is a trust for the exercise whereof the elector is responAble to the non-voters, such practices must and will prevail. Priests and landlords, employers and customers, will consider themselves entitled to use all the means in their power to control the will of the voter. Not one out of a thousand will fall within the meshes of the law. The miselii-f will still go on, and the sacrifice of an occasional vic tim, although it may render others a little more cautious, will neither cure nor materially alleviate the evil. The Ballot offers the only efficient remedy. With that, the man can vote in accordance with the dictates of his own conscience, without incurring the risk of temporal or eternal ruin. The land lord cannot eject, the priest refuse absolution, the employer discharge, nor the customer withdraw his patronage. Nor can " the roughs " resort to such gentle persuasion as cudgel or brickbat. The evidence in the Mayo case presents but one phase of the proceedings that have taken place in numerous districts. It unquestionably dis closes a very deplorable state of affairs, requiring a speedy and adequate remedy for the existing grievances ; but the whole subject must be dealt with in an enlarged and comprehen sive spirit. A universal cure is possible. The Ballot will give full protection to the voter, and, while it effectually destroys intimidation of every kind, it will also remove the temptation to bribery, and contribute more than anything that could be devised to the complete purity of election. The only parties who could com plain would ba the Parliamentary agents and lawyers, who would lose a fertile source of gain ; but that may be patiently submitted to, in consideration of the vast advantage to the cora , munity at large.

THE VERDICT IN MISS SMITH'S TRIAL.—It will be in teresting to our readers and the public to learn the numbers by which the jury came to a decision After deliberating there were five for a verdict of "Guilty" and ten for one of a Not proven." On the question, of an absolute acqnittal there was no diversity of sentiment whatever.—Caledonian Mercury. FATAL ACCIDENT FROM AWKWARD DRlVlNG.—Yes terday Mr. Bedford, the coroner, held an inquest at the King's Arius, Houghtoa-street, Linculnaeinn-fields, upo , a child named Sarah Jane Langley. A police constable deposed that on Saturday night, between ten and eleven, in Chistvell-street, Finsbury square, he saw a man driving a chaise-catt with a female in it and the child in her arms. A four-wheel cab was coming in the apposite direction. Both vehicles were on the proper side, and there wag room between them for a waggon, but when the chaise -cart arrived nearly opposite the cab, the driver turned the head of the horse and went direct across the road to the cab. The vehicles then coming in violent collision, the man, woman, and child, were pitched into the road. James Etridge, the cab-driver, and an eye-witness of the whole transaction, c orroborated the constable's evi ndaomminend as Isaac tn theG anracariel careless driving of the father.

LATEST NEWS. THE CONSPIRACY IN FRANCE. " The French police," says a Paris letter in the .Nord of Brussels, continue to display the greatest activity in their researches after all the Italians suspected of having taken part in the late plot. As the first act of the conspiracy was to have been an attack on the life of the Emperor, the French Government have a particular interest in searching fur and seizing on all the ramifi cations of this revolutionary attempt. About thirty Italians have been already arrested at Marseilles, and on the frontiers of the Var, of the Jura, and of Switzerland. At the time of the arrest of Bonaldi and Liprandi in Paris, not long since, the police discovered the cipher by the aid of which they cor responded with Mazzini, and, thanks to that dis covery, the French Government was able to follow, day by day, the march of the conspiracy which broke out at Genoa, at Leghorn, and in the Neapo litan States, and it is said that the Sardinian police seized at Genoa the special instructions of Mazzini relative to the Emperor of the French. A copy of these instructions has been sent to his Majesty at Plonabieres. The greatest publicity will be given to the trials which are to take placo in consequence of these arrests, in order that the disclosures made may serve as a warning and an instruction to the whole of Europe." FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. It is said that General Macmahon is to be pro. moted to the rank of Marshal of France, on the oc casion of the Emperor's fete, the 15th August. The news of the harvest from nearly all quarters of France is most cheering. In some the reaping is over, and in other places, where the corn is not yet ripe for the sickle, the heat, which in Paris, at least, is intense, will soo❑ bring it to maturity. Letters from Burtio, In Corsici, of the 13th, men tion that in some parts of tee island the yield of grain is superabundant, and good throughout the entire. The price of wheat, which had been high, has fallen 20f. the hectolitre. In the Calvados ' wheat has fallen 3f. the hectolitre. The price of fat oxen has also declined. The date of Queen Victoria's visit is not fixed, nor has it been officially made known as yet. Should it take place, k r Majesty will probably be received ae. Compiegne instead of Fun' ain.ebleau. The Monitettr of to-day contains the revenue tables of the Minister of Finance, fi r 1857, with the c imparative receipts of the first three moeths of 1855 and 1856. From these it appears that the produce of indirect taxes for the first quart er of 1857 is--526,017,000f. against 499,732,000 f. in 1856, and 442,962,000 f. in 1855 ; showing an increase of 83,055,000 f. over last year, and 29,285,0001. as compared with 1855. The officiel joureal then gives a table of monthly receipts of taxes and indirect imposts, for the second quarters of 1855, 1856, and 1857, compared with the corresponding mon , hs of two previous years. From this we gather that the monthly in crease of 1857 over 1856 was—in April 2,895,000 t., in May 5,449,000 f., in June 3,739,000 f. As against 1855 the increase was—in April 13,510,600 f. , in May 12,677,000 f., in June 11,581,00;4. Of direct taxes in the fist quarter of 1857, we lave 14,950,000 f, rec-ived. The total revenue from in cl!rect taxes of the second quarter of 1857 is, as before stated, 526,017,000 f. " Count de Moray," says a Paris letter, in the Independence of Brussels, " is, it appears, d-cidedly not to return to Russia, and it is conside fed highly probable that the Duke de Grammont, Minister at Turin, will be appointed to St. Petersburg." We learn from Algiers that a further nember of 40 hostages given by the Kabyle tribes have arrived at the Fort of Bab-Azoun. They were escorted by a detachment of chasseurs, and appeare I perfectly resigned to their fate. Some others still remain at Tizi-Onzou, who will be shortly sent to 'rejoin their couetrymen at the same fort. The Prince of Syracuse, says a Paris dispatch, has been in that capital in strict incognito. The state of M. B6ranger was so much worse yes terday as to remove all hope of his recovery. The heat yesterday was exceedingly oppressive in Paris. At six o'clock in the morning, M. Che vallier's thermometer marked 19 6-10ths Centi grele (67 1-3 d Fahrenheit) ; at noon, 28 8-10ths Cent. 834 F.) ; and at two o'clock, 30 8-10ths C. (87i F.).

"The _National Council of Switzerland," says a lett,r from Berne of the 9th, " ceminenced to-day the consideration of the conduct of affairs by the Fe local Council during the year 1850. The principal di s cussion took place on the episcopal differen ce of Ticino, the deputies being desirous of severing the bonds which connect that canton for ecclesiastical matters with the bishoprics of Como and Milan. M. For nerod, Presi lent of the Federal Council, showed that the course (f new•tiati on s did not depend solely 4wn the Federal Council, but that body, he declsred, was endeavouring to so conduct them as to lead to a result favourn,' , le to the honour of Switzerland. Tile assembly afterwards was occupied with various propositions, one of which tended to accord to the Federal Council the absolute right of ri , guliting every , hing coucorniwy, the permission to reside in the cantons. MM. Forcer, Martin and Blanche nay demonstrated in the clearest mannar that the proposition could not be acceded 0, as it was quite at variance with the cantonal sovereignty, ITALY. Colonel Pisacane, the leader of the late insurrec tion in Calabria, was admi ted into the Foreign Legion in Algeria at the recommendation of the Duke de Montebello, at that time French Ambas sador at Naples. His app`-in-ment was signed by General Tr-zel, Minister of War. He entered as Secopd Lieutenant, rose to the rank of Lieutenant, and resigned in the year 1848. His resignation was accepted by M. Arago, Minister of War ad interim, of the French RTublic. He distinguished hiuus,.lf at the Melitary School of Naples, and held the rank of Lieutenant of E•iginei.us in the iitan army. General who now commands a divisi•in of the Imperial Gutrd, was Colonel of the Foreign Legion when Pisa,cane entered. SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 15. The Royal-Mail Company's steam ship Medway, Capt. J. G. Parker, arrived at 6 p.m. to-day, with ti-e Brazilian and River Plate mails, in charge of, Lieutenant Payne, RN., Adminity agent. Her dates are—Buenos Ayres, June 2 ; Mont Video, 5 ; Rio de Janeiro, 14 ; Bahia, 19 ; Peru ambuca, 22 ; St. Vincent (Cape Verdes), July 1; Teneriffe, 6 ; Madeira, 8 ; Lisbon, 11. She landed 65 passengers at Lisbon, and brings 116 to Southampton. On freight she has specie from Teneriffe value 6001 , di a monds value 70,3001.; and a cargo consisting of 230 barrels of tapioca, 551 bags of cocoa, 779 bags of coffee, 217 bales of tobacco, and 73 bales of cochineal. The Anglo-Brazilian Bank was the object of great attention on the part of the Imperial Government. Several proposals had been made by other parties. The Ang,lo-Brazilian Bank was started by Mr. G-. S. Brandon, supported by influential persons in London, who have guaranteed the'capital to the Government, and it is said that the charter will be obtained this month, capital one million, with power to increase, to issue thi it own notes. The money market had been very tight ; discounts at 12 per cent., and no gold in the market. The bank proposed to supply the deficiency. From Rio there is nothing new in politics. The new tariff would come into operation on Ist July. The Government, it was understood, were disposed to make some modifications in it, but no one knew what they would be. The coffee market reopened on the 9h ult., at a decline of 103 reis to 200 reis as compared with rates quoted on the 13th May. About 101,000 bags had subsequently been sold ; in all 145,000 bags since the last steamer, of which 69,000 were for the United States, 71,000 for the Channel and North of Europe, and 5,000 for the Mediterranean. Sugar, white, was quoted at 4.800 to 5.400 ; and brown, 3.600 to 4 000. Hides were wanting ; only 960 very ordinary ones in stock. Exchange on London ruled at 27id. to 28d., the bulk of the business having been done at the former rate ; Hamburg, 650 ; Paritt, 343 to 345. Discount continued without alteration. Freight remained dull, - and the few charters effected were, at 355. fot the'Elbe, 355. to 455. for tie Channel, and 50c. to 70c. for the United States. From the Bahia Price Current of the 18th of June we learn that in import articles no transac tions of importance had taken place. Of codfish there were no arrivals, and stocks were rapidly diminishing, amounting only to about 300 barrels. In export articles great dullness prevailed in the beginning of the week, owing to the expected arrival of the Petropolis steamer ; wi h the excep tion of a sale of leaf tobacco, which was said to have been effected at 5.500 per arroba for closed leaf se conds, and 6.500 for firsts, no transactions of im portance were effected. After the steamer's arrival the sugar-market again partly regained its former activity, and considerable lists of whites changed hands at 4•600 per arroba. Cotton and coffee continued neglected, and pricas of hides and rum remained unaltered. In other siticles no alteration. In freights a vessel was ch ir tered for the Channel at 455. per ton. Exchange transactions have been effected at 28d. 90 days' sight, and 27/d. 60 days. Our correspondent at Pernambuco writes on Jnue 22 as follows: — Our sugar market continues active, and in spite of the heavy rains entries have been fair—since the 14t of the month 25,000 bags. We estimate the stocks for sal , : and shipment at 80.000 bags. After the Medway's arrival an advance in the price of Muscovados took place of 500 to 600 reis per arr.; and on the arrival of the Petropolis a further rise took plans.

A court was held to-day for the despatch cf public iusiness. FREEDOM OF THE CITY TO THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE. Mr. J. ANDERTON moved the following resolution : " That the Freedoin of this City be presented to his Royal B.igbness the Du' e of Cambridge, the cousin of our beloved Queen, and Commander-en Chief of her Majesty's Forces, as a testimony of the attachment to the Queen and Royal Family of the citizens of London represented by this court, al a grateful recognition of the support his Royal Highness has given to the vari ous public charities of the metropolis ; of the un daunted valour displayed by him in the late war in the Crimea; and of the judicial energy and success with which he has conducted the military affairs of the empire since he has accepted the high and re sponsible office of Commander-in-Chief of the British army. That the freedom be presented with a swore, or some other testimonial, of the value of two hundred guineas." The resolution baying been seconded, was carried unanimously. After the transaction of some other business the court adjourned LAW I_NTRT•T•IGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE THE WELSH POTOSI, SILVER, LEAD, AND COPPEJI COMPANY. To-day was appointed for hearing a petition in this matter for winding up the affairs of this company in Bankruptcy. Mr. Bagley appeared for the petitioning creditor ; Mr. Roxburgh to oppose on behalf of shareholders; and Mr. A spland to represent creditors. After a long discussion it was arranged that the peti tion should stand over till the 25th inst. ; the meeting to be advertised in the Gazette, &c., in the meantime. - Mr. Roxburgh then applied to his Honour for an order, by way of injunction, to prevent creditors from suing individual shareholders. Mr. Lyon, one of his clients, had been served with no less than 19 writs, and other shareholders were similarly harrassed. Mr. Aspland, for the creditors suing, briefly 'opposed the application ; and ultimately the Commissioner said that he did not think he had power to make an order to deprive creditors of their legal rights, and therefore he would not interfere in the matter.. SPAIN. MADRID, July 14.—The Royal authorisation to enforce the new law on the press has been published. The Senate has adopted by 61 votes to 17 the bill for authorising the government to carry into effect the bill on the press. In consequence of the numerous arrests made in Madrid the prisons were so full that the breaking out of maladies appre hended. Most of these persons had been arrested on the pretext of being vagabonds, and yet amongst them were many in good circumstances, some even who paid as much as 2,000 reals in taxes. At Malaga numerous arrests of persons notedifor the political opinions continue to be violence unade. of their A letter from Cet'inguen, in the Agram, Gazette, gives some details of the late executions in Monte negro.

The crew were taken off by the British barque Lard Elgin, then in company, and shortly afterwards the Sobraon wont down. Oa the 16th, 30 miles off Pernambuco, the long boat of the Lord Elgin was sent off with 10 men of the late Sobraon, and the barque proceeded on her voyage towards Cork with the master and the first and second mates.

IVIRRTING OF COAL-WHIPPERS.—Last evening a crowded meeting of the coal-whippers of the port cf London was held in the echo, 1-rooms, Johnson-streat, Back-road, St. George's-in-the-East, in consequence of the assertions made in evidence before the select com mittee of the House of Lords, now sitting on an iaquiry into the state of the coal-whippers in London. Mr. Thomas Flinn was called to the chair. He ref: r-ed to the late order, that no man should be employed from publicans, and stated that no more than one-half were engaged from the Coal-whippers' Office. He had a document pot into his hand, showing that in a case where a large number of men were emplo3ed the average earn ings were lls. 53. a week. Severe' speakers addressed the meeting, and a resolution was adopted pledging the meeting to exert itself to remedy the condition of the body. DR.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) MA.RLBOROUGH-STREET. INCITING YOUNG CHILDREN TO STEAD. Joseph Collins, a castermonger, was charged before Mr. Bing ham, in conjunction with a boy named Henry Croses aged 12 years, with stealing a quantity of boots, &c. It appeared from the evidence that on Wednesday night lase, Collins was in Windmill-street and met the prisoner Cross (whose father is a workman in the env ployment of Mr. Rose, boot and shoemaker in the Bur• liogton Arcade) and asked him if he had any boots. Cross replied that he had, and gave him three pairs, which were subsequently pawned. Last night the pri' soners again met, when Cross gave Collins four more pairs of boots. Cross gave Collins a pawnbroker's ticket and received a shilling from him. Joh❑ Davy, aged 11 years, living in Hopkin's-streets proved having seen Cross come out of the shop of Igt. Rove on Saturday with some boots. He was with the prisoner when Cross gave Cabins the boots. In answer to Mr. Bingham, Davy said he only beceo 3 ° acquainted with Collins on Saturday last. Mr. Rose said that the father of Cross worked for him► an 1 that he had lost a great many boots, Witness WO not able to say what was the quantity of boots he b 0 lost, but he should say from 201. to 301. worth ward missing. Police-constable C 145, who took the prisoner into custody, stated that he could produce the pawnbroker a t whose shop Collins had pledged some of the articles.. Mr. Tate, Cambridge-street, an assistant at gr . ; Aldous, identified the prisone r Co ll ins as having pawne d some of the goods at their shop. Mr. Bingham directed the depositions to be taken against the prisoners, for the purpose of their committal for trial. THE ELECTRIC CONDUCTIVITY OF COPPER WIRE'S. Professor W. W. Thomson, in measuring the re3 l g t( ance3 of wires manufactured for submarine tele" graphs, was surprised to find differences betwe e !c , different specimens so gloat as most materiallY; f effect their value in the electrical operations foe which they are designed. It seemed at first the the process of twisting into wire rope and covering with gutta perchamust be looked to to find the e%P ly ' nation of these differences. After, however, a ca re ful examination of copper wire strands some cover ed ' some uncovered, some varnished with india-rubb er ; and some oxydised by ignition in a hot flame, it 1 3 ascertained that none of these circumstances 1 0.13- dueed any sensible influence on the whole fe i sistauce, and that while there is some degree constancy in the quality of wire supplied f Ol3, . 0 the same manufactory, there is vast superio rl b in the produce of some manufactories c „ . that of others. A submarine telegraph o %i structed with copper wire of one manufactory 0, only 1-21 of an inch diameter, covered with ga bt o percha to a diame er of a quarter of an hid), ifut 1 „, with the same electrical power, and the same ; struments, do more telegraphic work than one 0 00 structed with copper wire of another manu foGe r ', of 1-18 of an ini.iti diameter covered with gu tta P e ' . ; cha to a diameter of a third of an inch. W i l is the cause of these differences in elect r t quality is a question of much 'practical /P; 11 0 portanco and high. scientific interest. A result of experiment shows that the great, ° oo degree of brittleness producible by te ol 0. do. s not alter the conductivity of the metal 11 0 much as one half per cent. A similar e xperio e l y showed no more sensible effect cn the conduea l it of copper wire to be produced by hammering 0, flat. There are no doubt slight effects on the c ° o ductivity of metals produced by every applicati ° l3 : and by the altered couditi in left atter the to drawat of excessive stress ; but these are folio' 0 be in all cases so minute that the present results / , to copper , ire are only what are t o b e ex pecten• Mechanic's Magazine.
