iiiroretbings in Varliaintnt. HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY. The Earl of HARROWBY presented a petition from the stand ing committee of West Indian planters, complaining of the distress now prevalent in those colonies, and after enlarging on this theme for seine time, expressed a hope that Earl Grey would be able to hold out to the planters some prospect, if not of a return to protective duties, at any rate of the extens►on of every facility 'for obtaining such credit with the mother coun try as in former times had been extended to distressed lute- Tests in Great Britain and Ireland. Earl GAM did not consider the present a fit time for enter inn' on so extended a subject, but promised his best attention to points urged in the petition. The Commons' amendments to the Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill were then considered, and after some discussion, in which the general opinion seemed to be that the alterations suggested by the Lower House should be received in a spirit of great for bearance, the amendments were agreed to. The second reading of the Bribery at Elections Bill was strongly opposed by Lord STANLEY, who objected to suspend the standing orders for the purpose of passing so objectionable a-measure. Earl GREY declared that in his opinion the bill ought not to pass this session, and it was ultimately abandoned. , Lord WHARNCLIFFE moved for copies of any communica tions which had passed between her Majesty's Government and the Governments of Foreign Powers in conseauence of the passing of the bill for the repeal of the Navigation Laws. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE regretted the impossibility at this advanced period of the session of complying with Lord Wharnclitte's motion, especially since negotiations were pend ing, which would be prejudiced if the correspondence in ques tion were produced. HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDAY. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY informed the house that he had received a letter from the Marquis of Dalhousie, the Governor- General of India, in which the noble lord stated, that the votes of thanks which their lordships Ind agreed to had been re ceived and read to Lord Gough, the officers, and in the pre sence of the whole Indian army, in reference to the late victo ries in India; and in reply, Lord Dalhousie said that Viscount Gough, the officers, and the army had received with pride and gratitude the distinguished mark which had been conferred on them. The Earl of RODEN rose for the purpose of offering explana tions with regard to the tragic occurrences at Dolly's Brae on the 12th of July. There was no individual who more sincerely regretted the collision which then took place as the melancholy result of the occasion. In another place his conduct had been greatly misrepresented in relation to this melancholy occur rence. He would state to their lordships the circumstances of the case as they really occurred. About a fortnight before the 12th of July he was informed that the Orangemen were desi rous of visiting Lim on that day. He endeavoured to dissuade them from assembling or calling on him. The gentlemen said they would be most disappointed, and that if they did not call upon him, they would meet elsewhere. He took two days to consider; and considering that they wished to manifest their attachment to him, he told them further that he thought, if they were determined to assemble, they would be safer in his park than elsewhere, and he would not shut his gates against them. On the 12th of July 2000 Orangemen, accompanied by tlrir wives and children, arrived in his park and defiled before him in the most orderly and quiet manner. No doubt some of them were armed, but he knew not that one of them was armed until he saw them there. He did not think that it was any wrong for them to be armed. On the 17th of March the Rib bonmen appeared armed, and had fired a volley as they passed his gate, and no attempt had been made to stop them ; and had he entertained the idea that the fact of some of the persons being armed made it an illegal procession, he would not have suffered it. The number armed only amounted to about 200 out of 20A. The procession went to the end of his park; and he felt it his duty to go with them, in order to prevent the commission of indiscretion, and to show them that the gentry were willing to stand by them. It was said th a t h e f eas t e d tbem with beer, porter, and whisky—the only refreshment supplied to them was bread and cheese and small beer. It was also said that he harangued them. He had addressed them, and he would read totheir lordships what lie had said—it had Veen taken down at the time. The noble lord here read the speech, in order to .show that it was the very reverse of being inflammatory, and concluded by expressing a hope that their lordships would be now satisfied that he was not guilty of the charges which had been made against him. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE had listened with the attention it merited to the statement of the noble lord in exculpation of his own character; but having said this, he hoped the noble lord - would excuse him when he stated that he wished to be understood, as neither assenting to, nor dissenting from, that statement at the present moment. The transaction in ques tion had led to an amount of irritation that it was not easy to describe. It had also Jed to loss of property, loss of life, and deep injury to a large class of her Majesty's subjects. It was therefore a fit subject for inquiry, and as such inquiry was in progress, he was not prepared to anticipate it. Whatever might result from it should be laid before the house to enable them to judge of the matter. HOUSE OF COMMONS.---TuEsDAy. The business was mostly of a routine character. Mr. HUME once more brought the case of the Rajah of Sat tare under consideration, but while the discussion was still proceeding, the house was counted out. • HOUSE OF LORDS.—WEDNESDAY. The Parliament was prorogued by Royal commission until the 9th of October. Her Majesty's Speech, of which the fol lowing is a copy, was read by the Lord President : " My Lords and Gentlemen, " We have it in command from her Majesty to inform you that the state of public business enables her to dispense with your attendance in Parliament and to close the present session. " Her Majesty has directed us to express her satisfaction with the zeal and assiduity with which you have discharged the laborious and anxious duties in the performance of which you have been occupied. " Her Majesty has given her assent to the important mea sure you have passed to amend the Navigation Laws, in full confidence that the enterprise, skill, and hardihood of her people will assure to them a full share of the commerce of the world, and maintain upon the seas the ancient renown of this nation. Her Majesty has commanded us to acquaint you that the friendly character of her relations with foreign Powers affords hes• a just confidence in the continuance of peace. "The preliminaries of peace between Prussia and Denmark have been signed under the mediation of her Majesty, and her Majesty trusts that this convention may prove the forerunner of a definitive and permanent treaty. " Her Majesty's efforts will continue to be directed to pro mote the restoration of peace in those parts of Europe in which it has been interrupted " Gentlemen of the House of Commons, "We are commanded by her Majesty to return you her thanks for the provision which you have made for the public service. " The public expenditure has undergone considerable reduc tions with►n the present year, and her Majesty will continue to apply a watchful economy in every branch of the public ser vice. _ _ _ • " My Lords and Gentlemen, "We are commanded by her Majesty to congratulate you on the happy termination of the war in the Punjaub. The exer tions made by the Government of India, and the valour dis played by the army in the field, demand her Majesty's warmest acknowledgments. " Her Majesty has observed with gratification the spirit of obedience to the laws which has been manifested by her sub jects clarity , the period which has elapsed since her Majesty last addressed her Parliament. " It is the characteristic of our constitution that it renders the maintenance of order compatible with the fullest enjoyment of political and civil liberty. " The satisfaction with which her Majesty has viewed the peaceful progress of her people in arts and industry, has been greatly alloyed by the continuance of severe distress in one part of the United Kingdom. " Her Majesty has observed with pleasz:re your liberal exer tions to mitigate the pressure of this calamity, and her Ma jesty commands us to thank you for your unremitting atten tion to measures calculated to improve the general condition of Ireland. It is her Majesty's fervent hope that it may please the Almighty Disposer of Events to favour the operation of those laws which have been sanctioned by Parliament, and to grant to her Irish people, as the reward of that patience and resignation with which they have borne their protracted suf ferings, the blessings of an abundant harvest and of internal peace." HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY. In reply to a question from Mr. MI LNEs, whether it was true that the Governor of Malta had refused to permit the Italian refugees to land on the island, on the passports deli vered by the British consular agent at Rome, Mr. HAWES replied that these refugees, several hundreds in number, came from Sicily as well as Rome, and more were on their way; that under such circumstances it was necessary to take precautions, but that no individual who could show a sufficient reason for landing was prevented. Lord NUGENT inquired whether a proclamation which had appeared in the newspapers, purporting to have been issued by General Haynau at Pesth and Buda, was genuine. Lord PALMERSTON said, her Majesty's Government, in cnmmon with everybody else, had read the proclamation with the deepest pain; but they had received no official communi cation upon the subject, and had therefore no official know ledge whether the proclamation was genuine or not. To a further inquiry, whether, if it should turn out to be genuine, the Government were disposed to interpose their good offices, nay, their authority, to stop the perpetration of such horrors, Lord PALMERSTON replied, that they must re serve to themselves the legitimate discretion to act according to circumstances. _ Soon after the business on the paper had been disposed of, Black Rod summoned the Speaker and the House to the House of Peers, to hear the Commission read, which put a period to the session. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. FRANCE. The President of the French republic returned to Paris on Thursday evening from his tour in the west. M. d'Arcourt has returned to Paris to advise with ministers as to ti e means of putting an end to the resistance now openly offered to French councils at Gaeta. M. d'Har court also complains of M. d'Corcelles and General Ou dinot, who, he says, seem determined to oppose all his suggestions. The Cabinet met on Thursday to discuss the matter, which resulted in MM. de Falloux and Mon talembert addressing letters of expostulation to Pius IX. at Gaeta. A courier left Paris on Thursday evening with these letters. The latest accounts from Toulon state that the Medi terranean fleet still remained at the isl Ends of Hyeres, waiting the arrival of its new commander, M. Parseval Dechenes. General Lavosseur has been appointed to the command of the fourth division of the army of the Alps, in place of General Arbouville. The MonitPur contradicts a statement made in a Paris paper to the effect that the Duke d'Harcourt, Ambassador from the French Republic to the Holy See, had been re called. " There is no foundation," says the Moniteur. " for the report. M. d'Harcourt demanded leave of ab sence, which has been granted to him. The government is fully satisfied with the conduct of M. d'Harcourt, and never had any idea of recalling him." A letter from Nantes, dated Tuesday last, states that the President of the Republic has granted a full pardon to all the political convicts sentenced in the western de partments to hard labour during the year 1832. It is a remarkable fact, that the ex-King Louis Philippe resisted every application made to him, no matter from what quarter, for any commutation of the sentence passed on these men. A letter from Perigueux, in the department of the Dordogan, states that in consequence of the productive Larvest the price of wheat has fallen there 20 per cent. It further mentions that the Indian corn and potatoes throughout the department present the most luxuriant appearance. Jean Sournet, one of the most ardent disciples of the Fourier school, appeared before the Paris Police-court on Saturday to answer a charge of having distributed printed papers in the street without a license. These papers were entitled. St. Resurrection, Universal Felicity, and Cry of Distress. He was sentenced to imprisonment for six days. • itNtrEo tTATEs. ARRIVAL k* tin WASHINGTON. _ The Washington Attived at Southampton on Saturday, from New Yolk, Witti dates to the 20th July ;. the news is unimpartlia. The markets continued firm for ccrn, flour, and cotton, and money was very abundant. The cholera had dimi nished, and the reports from the States in this respect were cheering. The steamer Alabama had arrived at New Orleans from Chagres. Large quantities of gold had arrived at Valparaiso from San Francisco, and bad been forwarded to England. News had been received, via" New Orleans, from Ja maica, to the 2d of July. The Governor in his Speech in the Legislative Assembly, urging them to receive the loan offered by the British Government. It was expected that the session would be short, as the members seemed in clined not to transact business. The ravages of the cholera in St. Louis are frightful. All who possessed the means having fled, the population is reduced from 70.000 to little more than 30,000, of whom 1,200 a week, on an average, fall victims to the disease. •'. ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA. The British and North American Royal Mail steam ship Niagara arrived in the river yesterday morning, soon after ten o'clock. She left New York on the 25th ult., and Halifax on the 27th. She has brought 102 passen gers. The steamship Europa arrived at Halifax on the 24th ult. The intelligence is not important. Business at New York was dull, owing chiefly to the continued ravages of the cholera. The money market was abundantly sup plied. the bank being at a loss to employ their funds. In foreign exchanges little was doing. The range of quota tion for sterling bills was from 8 to 8 3 4 . The cholera seems gradually to be extending itself both along the sea coast and the interior, and has developed itself on the lake shores. No where as yet, however, has it proved so deadly as at St. Louis, at the junction of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, although in New York it is assuming a more fatal type, and the deaths for the week ending on Saturday, the 21st ultimo, were 1,400, of which rather more than one half, viz., 714, or 102 daily, were by cholera. The president had fixed Friday, the 3rd instant, as a day of fasting and national humiliation. The weather generally throughout the land has been most propitious to the wheat harvest,which is completed in the Southern and Southwestern States. Except in Ohio, and possibly in Southern Illinois and Indiana, the yield will be abundant and of fine quality. In the Cincinatti (Ohio) Gazette, of the 16th instant, it is said that the in telligence from Ohio, Southern Indiana, and Southern Illinois, is full enough to lead to the conviction that the wheat crop of these states the present year will fall far below an average crop, and be perhaps not much more than half the aggregate yield of last year. Rust, weevil, worm and floods have all had an agency in producing this failure of the great staple of Ohio. The same paper, in relation to the crop of Indian corn and potatoes, holds this language, which is applicable to the crops generally. The drought which, until within a few days. has prevailed hereabout, was somewhat unfavourable to both these pro ducts ; but-still the yield will, it is thought, be abundant, and thus far nothing of rot in the potato. Concerning the growing crop of cotton, it is believed, and notwith standing rumours within a few days past of injury to the late plantations by excessive rains, that it will, for a late crop, which it must be, yield pretty fairly. We have advices from California one day later than our, last. The market at San Francisco is overstocked with all sorts of wares, and a number of ships were constantly expected from China to increase the glut. Gambling in land is all the rage there, house-lots having risen as high as 50,000 dollars in some parts of the town. No dis turbances bad yet happened at the mines between the Americans and Mexicans (of whom some 6000 have arrived in the country), but trouble was expected, and, as our dispatch says, if the Mexicans engaee in an out break, they will be shot down to a man. This indicates anything but a state of peace between the parties. The digging of gold dust had not yet been profitable, owing to the high water in th e s t reams ; b u t f rom one place in the dry diggings we hear of £60,000 dollars' worth of gold obtained by six men in the short time of twenty-three days. In Venezuela, Baez and Monagas were about to have a set-to, at our last advices ; rebellion had broken out in various parts of tifte country. Monagas was employing the power of the Government in raising forced loans. In Mexico and the States of Soutr. America, except Venezuela, there is nothing to be reported. In Canada no further disturbances have taken place. Matters there are ripening to a final crisis. Judging from the external indications we would say that the party of annexation was not gaining ground, but we think that the real fact is the other way. At any rate it is certain that the affection which the Canadians have hitherto cherished towards the British nation and government is constantly growing weaker. A feeling is growing up in favour of making the St. Lawrence River and the canal of the Ca nalas more immediately highways between the Western States and the Atlantic Cities. A large meeting was held at Troy, in the State of New York, to consider the expe diency of connecting the St. Lawrence, nearly opposite Montreal, with Lake Champlain, by means of a ship canal. The whole length of the projected canal (including 84 miles of the Chambly Canal, which it is proposed to en large to the required dimensions, will be about thirty-two miles, and the estimated cost would be a fraction within one and a-half million dollars. For an expenditure com paratively trifling as this, a ship canal, capable of trans porting a vessel drawing 2 feet wa'er, and of the burthen of 3000 barrels, can be constructed. LIST OF PASSENGERS.

Since the sailing of the steamer Hibernia, a fortnight ago, there has been a °lda produce market, although the moderate supplies of all kinds of flour have occasioned much firmness on the part of holders, and with a fair home demand, prices are now 25 to nic. per bbl. higher than at the sailing of that steamer. The exports of Indian corn continue large, but the Western supplies are now gradually diminishing. Freights to Liverpool are dull, and have declined : the rates are now 5 to 5 1-4 d. per bushel on corn and is. 6d. per bbl. on Flour. _ _ . . _ _ _ The exports from this port to Great Britain and Ireland for the fortnight ending the 17th instant, have been 491,862 bushels corn, 2,366 bushels wheat, and 26,554 barrels flour. FLOUR.—The enquiry for export is confined mostly to the uninspected and fine (polities, which are selling at .64 12i to 4 311 per barrel. The inspected brands, particularly those of good quality and sound condition, are less plenty, and bring .84 75 to 4 94 for common State and Western—S4 94 to 5 12i for good and straight brands of State and Ohio-85 06# to 5 25 for pure Genesse ; Baltimore, Alexandria, Georgetown and Bran dywine are held at .84 12f to 5 25. A sale of new Brandywine to arrive, has been made at .B's 50. Rye Flour sells at 33 per barrel, and corn meal at $2 94 for Jersey yellow ; Brandywine is held at .53124. GRAIN.—From certain districts of Ohio and a few other places, there continues to be receive. reports of the destruction of the wheat crop to some extent by the rust, but from other sections there is a fair prospect of an average crop. The sales in this market lately have been 75 to 85c. for common Chicago and Wisconsin, 103 to 110 c. for fair to good Ohio, 116 to 121 c. for Genesee per 60 lbs. Oats are worth 344 to 354 c. per bushel. Rye, for home use, sells at 57 to 574 c. per 56 lbs. Indian corn is a trifle better than at the date of my last circular—Northern yellow round 59 to 593c.,Western yellow 56} to 57i, high mixed 56 to 57c., low mixed 554 to 56c. ; white is scarce at 58 to 59c. COTTON.—The sales since our last, per Canada, amount to 8,200 bales. Prices paid for three days after the sailing of the steamer were very full, although the transactions did not exceed 1,500 bales per day; but the confidence in higher prices was unimpaired, and the quantity offering moderate. On the 21st instant the telegraphic advices from the Caledonia were received, and 2,600 bales were sold, inclusive of the cargo of the ship Alfred, from New Orleans, bought for Havre. On the 23d, the sales were 2,500 bales at * to ic. advance, and to-day 1,400 bales have been disposed of, fully establishing this im provement. The tendency of prices is evidently still growing upwards, and the unfavourable advices of the crop received from Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, are strong grounds for expressing the opinion that cotton will continue to advance, and that the new crop will open at very high prices. We quote as follows : Florida and N. 0. Texas Uplands. and ;Waite.

The market for cotton is very firm, and the sales for the last two days are 1,800 bales at full prices. The quotations for middles are 7} to Tic. The operations to-day reach 3,500 bales, the market closing firmly. WEST INDIA MAIL. The royal mail steam-ship Teviot, arrived at South ampton on Sunday morning, with important news from Jamaica, to which we have alluded elsewhere. Through out that island there had not been any great change in the weather, which was dry with partial showers. The sugar crops were nearly finished, and were considered fair. The island continued healthy, but there was no improvement in business. The stoc4 of butter was enormous, beef rather scarce, brandy stock ample, corn abundant ; sugar ranged from 15s to 19s 6d per 100 lbs, and as high as 20s was given for extreme qualities. Painful drought had prevailed at Antigta, and the 1850 crop would be late and very small. Great distress was felt all over the island, and water for the cattle and other pur poses was in some parts only obtainable at a distance of four miles from the estates, while in other places the live stock were perishing. In the town also the distress was much felt, the cisterns being nearly all dry. Water, far from pure, was hawked about, and readily sold at 6d to 8d per brl. The crops in Demerara aro+ it is feared, more than one-half destroyed by the very heavy rains. The crop of 1849 will be in all probability one-third short of last year's yield. In Trinidad the season was fine, and a good crop had been got in, nearly all of which had been shipped. In Barbadoes the legislature was sitting, but was occupied by no public business of importance. The season had been very fine, with plenty of rain. The crop for 1850 looked well, and the yield for 1849 has been larger than for several years, and will exceed 35,000 hhds. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. ROME. The Pope has appolnieJlCOmmissioners, with full powers to form a ministry, and regulate the government, until his return. From the vague and vapid tenor of his proclamations it is easy to see that be is cautious in com mitting himself to any promise that will bind him to a li beral course of policy. There is too much reason to ap. prehend that he has been persuaded to govern on princi ples, and by instruments, which the bulk of his subjects reject. It is especially to the exclusive use of ecclesiasti cal instruments that they most resolutely object, and it is precisely these that it is feared he will employ. Mazzini is addressing exhortations to the various municipalities to declare that their free choice would be the republican form, and the abolition of the temporal power of the Pope• " Let the cry," he says, " be constantly heard ; down with the government of the priests." With such senti ments afloat it will be the grossest infatuation on the Pope's part to aim at a rigid ecclesiastical supremacy. Garibaldi is still moving from place to place, but several of his detachments have been captured FRENCH OUTRAGE AT ROME.—Mr. Anthony, a mer chant at Malta, and well known in Liverpool, was under a commercial necessity of visiting Rome. On the sth of June he landed at Civita Vecchia, where the French not only deprived him of his passport, but made him a priso ner. On remonstrating he was carried to the camp before Rome, and treated with the greatest indignity. The French troops made prisoners of all the peasants proceed ing through the country, and pillaged their luggage, the French officers with their swords cutting open their bas kets, &c. Mr. Anthony lost his baggage. He has ap pealed to the British government. DR. WOLFF AND THE ROMANS.—Dr. Wolff has ad - dressed a letter to the citizens of Rome, in which occur the following passages Romans—Many happy days were passed by me within your walls when I was, in the years 1816 to 1818, first pupil in the Collegio Romana, where I had the honour of studying together with Counts Ferretti, Mamiani, Menochio, and Tosi, and studied eccle siastical history under Don Piedro (now Cardinal) Ostini, who, as you are aware, knew skilfully to shift from the party of Napoleon to that of Pius 7th—after the latter was restored to his papal chair in the Vatican. I then was transferred to the College of the Propaganda, by the excellent Cardinal Litta, but having argued openly not only against the infallibility of the Pope, but also against the right of the church to burn heretics, I was banished from your interesting city in the year 1818, on the 15th. of April. Romans ! many things have passed in the world ; the " Overturning, overturning, overturning," in Ezekiel, the 21st chapter, and the 27th verse, has com menced ; and it will continue until He shall come, whose right it is ; and when he shall set up that form of govern ment upon earth to which all nations shall willingly sub mit and rejoice. Until that time neither Louis Napoleon in France, nor the Constituent Assembly in Italy, shall better the condition of the world. * * * * Peter, whose successor the Roman Pontiff affects to be, drew the sword and struck a servant of the High Priest's, and smote off his ear • and though the sword was here drawn to save the life Of the Lord from Heaven himself, the Lord said to him, " Put up again thy sword into its place." But what did Pius the 9th ? he leaves his children at Rome like a coward, escapes to Gaeta, and from thence he exhorts his children in France to unsheath the sword against his children in Rome ; not for the purpose of saving either Christ or his church, but for retaking a paltry temporal dominion, which his predecessors in dark ages have grasped, and which he blasphemously calls the patrimony of Peter ' • and after General Oudinot regained it for him, he sends his congratulations. Romans therefore proclaim loudly that you are now convinced that Popery is, and has ever been a lie, that it can never be reformed, but must be destroyed, and pronounce before the whole world that you are BIBLE CHRISTIANS ! AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.—TO all appearance Georgey has succeeded in bringing the rest of his army over the Theiss. The 3d Austrian army corps has gone to rein force the Ban of Croatia, who still holds the left Danube bank, facing Peterwardein. The hordes of Dembinsky, lying near Czegled and Szolnock, are held in check by the second army corps of Baron Haynau, whose great object object is to force them behind the Theiss, and prevent their crossing the Danube. The Hungarians have, alto gether, 160,000 men and 250 canon, without including the Landstrum. This army is divided into four masses, under the leadership of Gorgey, Bern, Dembinsky, and Vetter. The beaten Ban has his head quarters at Ruma. General Haynau has marched to his aid with a body of 30,000 men, and 10,000 Russians are marching in the same direction from Orsowa ; but before leaving Pesth Haynau published a proclamation, threatening with death all who, either by words or acts, or by wearing revoluti onary colours favoured the rebel cause, or who formed any plots, &c. Letters from Vienna state that the recent de feat of Ban was owing to one of his officers having traitor ously communicated his plan to General Bern. The offi cer, a captain, had been placed in irons. A bulletin from the Russian head quarters of Aszod, on the 21st, says that in a cavalry engagement in the district of Jazyque the Magyars, though greatly superior in numbers, were driven beyond Tat Almas, in the direction of Tames Kata. The Breslau Gazette of the 26 inst. says, " The Russians lost 6000 killed and wounded in the afair of Waitzen. The battle lasted two days. There were 120 pieces of ordnance in the field. The second day the rear guard of Georgey made a terrible resistance. The Austro Russian army is surrounded in the centre of Hungary. Klapka defends Acs; Georgey and Dembinski, with 80,000 men, defend from Ypolsak to Tokay, Ucsay, and Guyon. They have been compelled to turn nearly all the churches and public edifices into hospitals for the wounded Russians." Letters from Vienna of the 28th stated that Temeswar has surrendered to the Hungarians. The aqueducts which conveyed water to the fortress had long been destroyed, and the fall of this important place, after an obstinate siege, was to be expected. Other news, from the same source, is not less important. The Magyars have entered Semlin, and Dembinsky has defeated Paskewitsch at Gyongyos. The possession of Semlin opens to the Mag yars all the country to the borders of the Danube, from Essege to Orsova. They are in direct communication with Turkey, and are able to provide themselves from Belgrade, which is friendly to them, with everything they require. The Jewish Chronicle says that some time ago Kossuth presented himself in the synagogue of Grosswardein, to thank the Jews for their devotion to the national cause. He asked pardon of the people of Israel for the persecu tions of the past times, and concluded his address by a so lemn promise that, in future, the Jews should enjoy the same rights as the other inhabitants of Hungary. During one of the recent engagements between the Austrians and Hungarians, near Comorn, a battle painter named Lalleman, was killed by a cannon shot while he was taking a sketch of the fight. From St. John's, Newfoundland, we learn from papers brought to England on Saturday last, that a serious riot had occurred between rival parties of Roman Catholics and Orangemen. The troops were compelled to quell the 6neute, but twelve persons were killed and a number wounded, The Indian papers contain a lengthened report of the proceedings in the trial of the Dewan Moolraj for com plicity in the murder of Vans Agnew and Anderson. The evidence for the prosecution had consumed six days, and was not yet brought to a conclusion. At present the chances of a conviction are slender. Letters from Berne, of the 2nd, announce the opening of the session extraordinary of the Federal Assembly on the preceding day. It approved unanimously of the levy of troops which had been made. The question of the refugees was referred to a committee of seven members. General Dufour was to be sworn in as Commander-in- Chief on the following day. DEATH OF CHARLES ALBERT.—His Majesty Charles Albert died at Oporto, on Saturday, the 28th July, at two p.m. His body has been embalmed and conveyed to the cathedral to await the arrival of a steamer from Genor to transfer it to that city. Every honour had been paid since his death ; minute guns were fixed, and the hells tolled. All public offices were closed for three days, and a general mourning for eight days. RESULT OF FEMALE EMIGRATION TO NEW SOUTH WALES.—Out of fifty orphan girls who were sent to Moreton Bay from the latest emigration ship, forty-nine are already married ; the fiftieth, upon being asked " why she remained single ?" said although she had received an excellent offer she could not get married because there was not a bridesmaid left for her, but she was anxiously wait ing for the next draft of emigrants, when that little diffi culty would be over. This is a fact.—Australian Sports man. , , • RAILWAY AFFAIRS. A direct communication between Leeds and Manchester, by way of Dewsbury, Huddersfield, and the Marsden and Saddleworth Vallies, was made on Wednesday, by the opening of the above line throughout to the public. The influx of passengers at all the stations on the line was very great. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAlLWAY.—Traffic for the week ended 29th July :—Coaching traffic, £1,879 ls. 2d. ; parcels, £55 3s. 10d. ; goods and cattle, £196 ss. 11d. ; steam boats, £lBl Ils. Bd. Total, £2,312 2s. 7d. Ex clusive of toll from Shrewsbury and Chester Company, and payment for conveyance of mails. RAILWAY PARCELS.—Petitions have been presented to both houses of parliament, extensively signed by mer chants, bankers, and wholesale traders in the following towns :—London, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. The petitioners complain of the conduct of the railway companies " in making a monopoly of goods traffic, charging oppressively, illegally, and unequally on small parcels and packed hampers, and praying for an investi gation, a revision of the companies' powers and rates, protection to wholesale traders and competitors, and a government superintendent of traffic." PRESENTATION TO MR. LOCICE.—On Friday evening, a party of about fifty of the friends and associates of Mr. Locke invited that gentleman to a dinner at • Fenton's Hotel, St. James's-street, on the occasion of presenting to Mrs. Locke the portrait of her husband. The meeting was composed chiefly of Mr. Locke's professional friends. Mr. Swift, of Liverpool, was in the chair. Mr. Brunel was present ; Mr. Stephenson was unfortunately absent. Mr. Locke's private friends were Mr. J. O'Connell, Mr. Cobbold, Mr. Peto, Sir J. Elphinstone, Mr. G. Pritt, Mr. D. Gooch, Mr. Charles Manby, and others. RAILWAY PASSENGERS ASSURANCE. — We are grati fied at learning that the London and North-Western Railway Company has placed itself at the head of the Railway Passengers' Assurance Company, by permitting the issue of assurance tickets at the principal stations on its line. It may be necessary to remind our readers of the terms upon which insurances, in lietit either of loss I of life or of personal injury, are effected by this company. A first-class passenger will, by' a payinent of three-pence, insure £1000; a second-class passenger, by a payment of two-pence, will insure £500; and a third-class passenger, by a payment of one penny, will insure £2OO. Double journeys will, of course, demand a double insurance. The insurance is, with this exception, irrespective of the distance to be travelled. LIVERPOOL, CROSBY, AND SOI7THPORT RAILWAY. — The half-yearly meeting of thiscompany was held on Thurs day last, Mr. W. Earle occupied the chair. The chairman moved the adoption ofthereport. This was seconded by Mr. Hugh Hornby, and unanimously carried. Mr. Langs dale moved that no dividend should be declared, but that the money should go towards the completion of the line. Mr. Moss thought that if they had earned the 2i. per cent. they ought to have it. This appeared to be the general feeling of the meeting. Mr. Langsdale withdrew his motion, and a dividend at the rate of 21 per cent. was declared. It was stated that atter payment of that amount there would still be a balance on hand of £l,OOO. It was resolved that two vacancies in the direction should not for the present be filled up. Satisfactory negotiations, it was stated, were pending with Lord Derby as to much of the land that would be required for the full extension of the line to Liverpool. Notice of intention to forfeit 965 shares was given. Thanks were voted to the directors, the engineer, and the secretary, and the meeting broke up. BRITANNIA TUBULAR BRIDGE.—The preparations at the Menai Straits for hoisting this enormous fabric to its permanent position over the straits are on a scale of great magnitude. The total dead weight to be lifted 100 feet from high water-mark is upwards of 2,000 tons, or equi valent to the elevation to that height cf upwards of 30,000 men. A general but erroneous impression seemed to pre vail that when the tubular bridge was floated the whole operation was completed. The floating was nothing more than the launch of the great iron ferry to the precise site from whence it has now to be raised by mechanical power, specially constructed for the purpose. The stroke of the hydraulic process employed for the purpoie is six feet ; that is to say, they are only capable of raising it six feet at one lift. The tube of 2,000 tons has consequently to be sustained while the presses are lowered, and a ,fresh hold obtained. This will be effected by building up successive layers of masonry, at every six-feet lift, under the tube, to support it securely in its upward ascent, during which arrangements will be made for another six-feet hoist, until the whole 100 feet are finished. Were it not for this pro cess of building up, the operation would only occupy about a day ; but, as it is, it will take a fortnight. RAILWAY BAGATELLES,—The sum of £140,000 has just been expended on a new station at Euston-square; £243,096 on the bridge over the Tyne, at Newcastle; £126,960 on the bridge over the Tweed at Berwick • and in the Eastern Counties expose, the stations, Cambridge, Ely, and Peterborough figure respectively in the sums of £80,555, £90,423, and £93,234 ! !—But those are baga telles compared with the expenditure on the bridge over the Menai at Bangor, which the Chester and Holyhead directors have admitted will cost £600,000 (some people believe it will exceod £700,000), although Mr. Stephen son's estimate was only £250,000 !! ! Costly as that bridge is it will be out-heroded by the projected Cornish railway bridge over the Tamar at Saltash, where the cen tre pier is to be sunk eighty feet deep below the water surface at low water spring tides ; and as the government stipulated that the bridge should be carried 100 feet above the high-water surface, mokes a total height of up wards of 180 feet, and thereby making the works much more extensive than those at Britannia bridge. Many persons doubt that Mr. Brunel will complete the Saltash bridge for less than one million ! The whole population of Cornwall, including the Scilly islands, was, according to the last census, only £341,279. OPENING OF THE HUDDERSFIELD AND MANCHESTER. —The opening of this line is remarkable in three ways. It forms virtually a second Manchester and Leeds railway, and is much shorter than the old one. Second, it is a singular instance of a canal converted into a railway— the canal, however, still suffered to exist—the two being pretty nearly parallel to one another, but not vested in the same proprietary. Third, it is remarkable in itself, as a line passing through a most difficult country, full of formidable works, completed in a short time, and at moderate expense. When we state that it has been little more than two years in progress, and that it contains one tunnel of more than three miles in length, being the longest in the world—which tunnel is at a depth of 652 ft. below the ridge of the bill which it pierces ; and when we add that there are seventy-seven bridges, seven viaducts, and four tunnels on the line,—it will be apparent that the engineer had to overcome no ordinary difficulties :—how successfully he has overcome them, the fact of the open ing on Friday last has most satisfactorily shown. The tunnel is a most successful piece of work, and so perfectly straight, that on a clear day one can see through it from end to end. It is entered by very handsome ashlar stone facings, and most of the mason-work is of the' beautiful millstone grit, which is abundant throughout the line. Tile country is so difficult, that it is by sharp curves and sharp gradients only that the line has been rendered prac ticable : but its advantages will be very great, as it reduces the distance from Leeds to Manchester to 421 miles, while by the old railway the distance is 62 miles. The town of Huddersfield is by this route brought within 208 miles of London, and important facilities are given to a vast ex tent of local traffic ;—the whole country through which the line passes being filled with woollen mills and manu facturing villages. Several of the viaducts are structures of great elegance and strength ; and having recently passed over the line, we can bear testimony to the excel lent judgment, complete finish and solidity of the whole of the works, which have been executed entirely wider the superintendence of Mr. Jee. On the completion of this line it becomes the property of the London and North Western, and forms a most important extension of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, which by this means adds to its resources a vast portion of the traffic lying to the east of Manchester, which would otherwise have been diverted from it. A passenger who now takes his place in Leeds or Huddersfield will find himself little more than 200 miles from London, which he will reach without change of carriage. CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. THE CHURCH.—The report of the incorporated society for enlarging, building, &c. churches for the past quarter, states that during that period fifty-one grants of money were made for the purpose of aiding the erection of nine teen new churches, the rebuilding of two, and the enlarge ment or re-arranging of the seats in thirty existing churches. This shows a considerable increase in the society's business, beyond that of the previous quarter ; and what makes this view more satisfactory is, that it dis plays something like a revival of the former exertions to build new churches—which undertakings have been, for a long time past, less numerous than they used t) be; and this agreeable prospect is made evident by the summing up of the grants made in this period, which were 101, 40 of these being towards the building of new churches, 10 for rebuilding, and 54 for the enlargement, &c., of existing churches, The number of additional seats which will thus be obtained are calculated at about 29,000; of which nearly 26,000 are to be free and unappropriated—in fact, solely for the use of the poorer classes. The sum to be bestowed to aid these objects from the funds of the society is £13,810. Since the issuing of the last quarterly report, a legacy of £3,000, free of duty, was bequeathed to the society by the late John Curteis, Esq. PREFERMENTS AND APPOINTMENTS.—The Rev. Dykes, curate of Malton, Yorkshire, to be a minor canon in Durham Cathedral.—The Rev. E. Greatorex, to be a minor canon in Durham Cathedral. THE BISHOP OF EXETER AGAIN.—We have autho rity to state, with reference to the case of the Rev. Charles Rookes, that the Lord Bishop of the diocese has com menced proceedings under the act for better enforcing Church Discipline, and that Mr. Rookes has already been served with notice thereof.—Exeter Flying Post. QUEEN'S. COLLEGE. BIRMINGHAM.—The Rev. Dr. Warntford has just contributed another £l,OOO towards promoting the interest of the above institution, being the third thousand which has been given by that distinguished divine to the funds of the college. The £l,OOO now given is towards an endowment of the Professorship of Pastoral Theology, and has been announced at a special meeting of the council. THE VICAR OF HAREWOOD.—The six months' pro hibition from preaching which was pronounced, in the Ecclesiastical Court, at York, upon the Rev. Richard Hale, the vicar of Harewood, having expired, that vene rable gentleman resumed his duties at Harewood Church, on Sunday week. The church, long before the time for commencing divine service, was crowded in every part. Mr. Hale took for his text the 12th verse of the second chapter of the First Corinthians, and, we understand, departed from his usual custom and read his sermon ; but very little of it was heard, even by those who sat nearly close to the pulpit. CATHEDRAL GRAMMAR SCHOOLS. —An importai t case has occupied the attention of one of the Equi v Courts for three days this week, in which the right of the Dean and Chapter of Rochester to dismiss the master of the Cathedral Grammar School of that city is questioned by the latter, he (Mr. Whiston) having been lately dis missed from that office, the ground of dismissal being the publication of a pamphlet reflecting odium upon the Dean and Chapter generally, and upon the present Dean and Canons individually. Much learned argument has been expended by counsel on both sides during the hear ing, and on Friday Vice-Chancellor Wigram stated it to be his intention to read certain statements in reference to the matter before he gave his judgment. SUBDIVISION OF PARISHES.—Her Majesty's Commis sioners have made a report on this subject from which we make the following extract :—" We are of opinion, that the Church Building Commissioners should be required to re-consider the boundaries of all divisions or subdivisions of parishes which have been effected under proper autho rity, with special reference to the question of a just and equitable distribution of the church rate ; and then to recommend your Majesty in council to fix a time when the new parish may be properly and fairly exempted from the double rate, and the remaining part of the original parish, and the new parish or district severally made liable only for the repair of its own church or chapel ; and we recommend that each parish or district should then pos sess an open parish vestry, with all the incidents, powers, and provisions applicable to vestries of parish churches, with separate churchwardens, one chosen by the inhabit ant ratepayers within the particular parish or district, and the other by the incumbent : and that the churchwardens belonging to any new parish or district should, so far as may be practicable, have the same power of seating the parishioners as is possessed by the churchwardens of old parish churches ; and under such circumstances we recom mend that all select vestries formed under the Church Building Acts should be abolished. We intend to prose cute our inquiries, in the hope of arriving at further prac tical conclusions, and expect to be able shortly to lay before your Majesty a general view of the probable num ber of new parishes and new churches required in all the dioceses of England and Wales." COURT AND FASHION. THE ROYAL VISIT OF THE QUEEN AND PRINCE ALBERT TO IRELAND. Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and suite embarked on Wednesday last, on board the Royal yacht Vic toria and Albert, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.H., at half-past three o'clock in the afternoon ; and the different members of the court and household, the servants, attendants, &c., having also embarked, the Vic toria and Albert, with the Royal standard at the main, proceeded, under a salute from Cowes Castle, en route to Cork, Dublin, Belfast, and Greenock. The Royal squad ron got into regular order soon after starting, and pro ceeded at a regular speed towards the Needles, betoken. ing a fair, happy, and prosperous passage for our beloved Sovereign in this her Majesty's first visit to the Emerald Isle. On Thursday evening at seven o'clock the naval autho rities at Cove were astonished by signal being made that the Victoria and Albert yacht, and the Royal squadron, were off the harbour. The news was so sudden that a general illumination as was intended could not be accom plished —a great number of rocKets and fireworks and other manifestations of rejoicing were however discharged. During the night the Royal party remained in the har bour, and, at an early hour on Friday morning, the town was alive, and Cove never before exhibited such an en livening scene. Soon after two o'clock, her Majesty and the Prince removed to the Fairy, and, amid the booming of artillery, and the loud acclamations of tens of thou sands, steamed round the harbour. Several deputations with addresses were then admitted to her Majesty ; shortly after which the Queen and her illustrious Consort set foot for the first time on Irish soil, which was the signal for renewed acclamations long protracted. On entering the beautiful pavilion, the Queen remained standing, and, at the request of the Cove deputation, as conveyed through Mr. Roche, M.P., her Majesty was pleased to change the name of the town to " Queens town," instead of " Cove." Her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and suite, then re embarked, amidst cheers which made the welkin ring, and.steamed in for Cork. Along the line, banners with suitable devices were displayed, and salutes were fired at all the batteries erected for the purpose. On arriving at the Custom-house, her Majesty received, on board the Fairy, deputations from the city and county, with ad dresses from each respectively ; immediately after which her Majesty and Prince Albert landed amidst enthusiastic cheers and waving of hats and handkerchiefs. The band of the 12th Lancers played the National Anthem, while a guard of honour of the Cameronians received the Royal party. . A . magnificent procession was then formed through the city, which was warmly received at every point. The sight of this interesting spectacle induced her Majesty to stop the progress for a moment, during which she seemed highly pleased with this commemoration of her first visit. At half-past five the cortege returned to the Custom house, immediately after which the signal gun was fired, and her Majesty entered the Royal yacht. In a few moments the gallant vessel steamed down the river amid great applause. As the first gun announced the approach of her Majesty to Cork, Mr. Hampton, who had caused three beautifully decorated balloons to be constructed and inflated for the occasion, bearing in decorated letters the words • Victoria,' • Albert,' and • Prince of Wales,' gave the signal to let go, when the balloons ascended steadily and gracefully amid the acclamations of the several hundreds who wit nessed the ascent. The feature was one of the prettiest in the day's proceedings. On her Majesty's return to the Fairy, the Mayor ex pressed his ardent hope and wish that her Majesty was pleased with her reception, to which her Majesty replied, " Nothing could be more gratifying or agreeable.' Sir George Grey then said that nothing could have been better or more gratifying, and that her Majesty was delighted be yond measure with everything she had seen. The Fairy then returned to Cove, and her Majesty im mediately went on board her yacht. The Royal yacht and steam squadron left for Dublin early on Saturday. On Friday night several of the public buildings in Cork, and a few of the hotels, were brilliantly illuminated. On Sunday morning, the Royal squadron were seen off Waterford at ten o'clock. The royal squadron reached Kingston on Sunday night at seven o'clock, and her Majesty remained on board all night. The debarkation was to take place yesterday morning, and in a second edition we shall be enabled to give the festivities attendant upon such an important event. The Lord Mayor of Dublin has invited the Lord Mayor of London to Dublin to meet her Majesty. THE ROYAL RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—This vehicle, in tended for the royal travel over the Irish railways, has just been finished. It is a grand saloon, tilled with sofas, flower stands, mirrors, and gilt mouldings within, the panels beings of a rich blue striped in white without. It is all of Irish manufacture, and lined with light blue Irish tabinet. There are ante-rooms at both ends, with the royal and Trish arms in juxtaposition. The only British sovereigns that visited Ireland in peace or war were Henry 11., John, Richard 11., James 11., William 111., and George IV., in August, 1821. Her Majesty is the first British Queen that will have visited this country. Sir George Grey, Bart., is the Secretary of State who accompanies Her Majesty on her voyage to Ireland and Scotland. It was his noble cousin, Earl Grey's turn to attend upon royalty on the occasion, but, having a dread of salt water and rough weather. be begged to be eveused. and allowed to retire to the shades and repose of Howick. HER MAJESTY AT FAULT. — Application having been made to the Queen by one of the patronesses of " the Providence Home," bringing the nature of the institu tion under her Majesty's notice, the following reply was addressed to the lady in question. by Mr. Anson : " Buckingham Palace, June 19th, 1849.—Mr. Anson is commanded by the Queen, to acquaint Mrs. —, in reply to her letter, that her Majesty regrets that she cannot subscribe to a charitable institution in Ireland exclusively for Protestants."—Dublin paper. Preliminaries have been arranged for a matrimonial al liance between the Hon. Miss Copley, daughter of Lord Lyndhurst, and the son of a wealthy commoner. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. GOODWOOD RACES.

The twenty-two went in first, and scored 129 ; the eleven made 39. The twenty-two at the second inning obtained 114, and the All England 32. Total — Newark, 243 ; England, 71 ; majoliti, 172. EXTRAORDINARY ROWING FEAT.—A few days since gentleman, well known as the champion of the Yare (in Norfolk,) - rowed a match against time, the distance being 100 miles, and the time 24 hours. He started in a boat from Carrow Bridge, Norwich, at 12h. 35m. a.m., and rowed to Beccles Bridge, a distance of 40 miles, a pretty good morning's work ; he breakfasted at Beccles, and then returned to Carrow Abbey, where he dined, having rowed 80 miles ; he then pulled down the river to Rockland Dyke and back again, a distance of 20 miles, and finished the whole distance of 100 miles at Bh. 28m. p.m., thus ac complishing this arduous task in 19h. 53m. On entering the river Waveney he had to pull aga i n st a s t rong tid e nearly 18 miles. He pulled the last 20 miles under three hours. POLITICAL MISCELLANY. Mr. Denison, M.P. for West Surrey, died on Thurs day, aged 81. On Thursday, Capt. Pelham, a Whig, was returned for Boston, in the room of Sir James Duke, by a majority of 101 over Mr. Wire, a Radical. Mr, Godson, M.P. for Kidderminster, died at his resi dence, Springfield Hall, Lancaster, of disease of the heart, on Wednesday. KIDDERMINSTER.—The sudden death of Mr. Godson has put all parties on the qui vive. Three gentlemen are already named as candidates—the Hon. S. H. Lyttleton, Sir T. Winnington, and Mr. J. T. Best. The two first are Liberals. REPRESENTATION OF READING.—There is every ap pearance of a sharp contest for this borough, there being no less than five candidates in the field, viz., Sir John Hare, of Bristol (whose name may be remembered in connexion with the recent prosecution of a lady for an alleged theft of a diamond ring) ; Mr. Stanford, Foley house, Portland-place; Mr. G. Bowyer {deputy-chairman of the County Quarter Sessions at Abingdon) ; Mr. R. Gardner (a barrister, and son of Mr. Robert Gardner, of Manchester) ; and Mr. C. Darby Griffith, of Padworth house, near Reading—the latter gentleman being the only Conservative candidate. _ _ I ITHE LAST SESSIONAL MISHAP.—TO the wry last moment ill luck attended Her Majettty's Ministers during lug 7,1840 i the session of Parliament just closed.
