The Peers received several petitions last night as usual, including some for the better treatment o: Mr. O'CoNNoR. In reply to Lord LYNDHURST, Lord MELBOURNE said, that he did not intend to introduce any nicasure to amend the boundary clauses of the Irish Municipal Bill. _ The Marquis o" LONDONDERRY, who is quite re markable for the terseness and novelty of his jokes, again asked Viscount MELBOURNE on what principles he intended to conduct the affairs of the Govern ment. The Ministers had lately sustained half-a dozen &feats, the country was in an unexampled crisis, and he begged for explanation. Viscount MELBOURNE was ready to reply to any spec fie question, but could not enter into the wide field of discussion opened by the Noble Marquis. On the motion of the Marquis of NORMANBY, his amendment to the Commons' amendments to the Pii sons: Bill, intended to provide for such cases as that of Mr. O'CONNOR, was agreed to. Their Lordships adjourned at an early hour. A considerable number of petitions were presented in the Commons. including, we are glad to see, seve ral against Church Extension. There was one peti tion from a Danish claimant, of the name of HEYWOOD, who complained that, while the Treasury were investi gating his claims, and delaying to report on them, he was reduced to seek relief in the workhouse. Sir R. biol.'s gave notice that he will move this day, that on Wednesday, July Ist, the House will re so;ve itself into a Committee to consider an Address to her MAJESTY in the terms of his former notice. Mr. HL ME 13 to move an amendment, and the discus sloe, therefore, on Church Extension takes place to day. We hope that no enemy to priestly extortion will be absent. &.r FILEEDERICK TRENCH is also to move to-day for the restoration of the wax lights. On moving the Order of the Day for a Committee on the Clergy Reserves Bill, Lord JOHN RUSSELL entered I into the subject cf Lord STANLEY'S Registration Bill. After pointing out bow very unconservative was the course proposed by Lord STANLEY, as well as its in convenience, and after expressing his determination to resist it if it were persevered in, he proposed that the Howe should proceed with Lord STANLEY'S Bill in Committee on Friday next. Lord STANLEY defended the course be had adopted ; denied that the Government had any right to transact its business exclusively on Mondays ; insisted that the Government held that privilege solely from the courtesy of the House, declared that his °hied was to procure a deliberate discussion for his 13ill, and ensure its not being shoved off from day to dry ; and finally consented to Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S proposition, on condition that the Noble Lord would on Friday use his influence to procure for his Bill a fair discussion in Committee. Lord JOHN RUSSELL promised to use his influence to prevent any obstruction to the Bill, though Mr. O'CONNELL declared that he would use every oppor tuni;.y to defeat a measure calculated and intended to injure and insult Ireland. So, however, ends for the pretent the fight about the Registration Bills. Loid JOHN RUSSELL then moved the second read ing of the Clergy Reserves (Canada) Bid. Mr. GOULBCRN assented to the Bili going through this stage, expressing his hope that the Goveimment wood alter some provisions of it in the Committee. Mr. GALLY KNIGHT, Sir R. INGLIS, Mr. PARING.. TON, and others, opposed the principle of the Bill, and the Hon. Baronet described it as a gratuitous robbery. Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Mr. LABOUCHERE de fended the Bill, as essential to the peace of Canada. At the end of the debate, on a division, the Bill was read a second time by 152 to 35 votes. The Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill went through a Committee. The Timber Duties Bill, the Tobacco Duties Bill, and the Glass Duties Bill were severally forwarded a stage, after some conversation on the propriety of not exacting the duties on glass melted a second time for scientific purposes. '[he House then adjourned. Before society has recovered from the shock it received by the murder of Lord WILLIAM Rus sEL, it reels under the more startling attempt on the life of the QUEEN. It was awoke by the former from a dream of security, and found itself trembling on the brink of great danger. The lat ter not made so profound an impression as to the insecurity of individuals, but it has much in creased the alarm. :Yainst crimes which grow from the manners and morals of society, no police—no military power, can effectually guard us. The protective system, under these two heads, is as complete, perhaps, in France as the art of man can make it ; and the number of diabolical attempts there made on life, from the KING downwards, proves that they are ineffectual. Hitherto assassination has been foreign to our manners ; violations of the right of property are the crimes which grow from them, and the increase of commitments every year for these offences equally testifies to the inefficiency of our protective system. If to the many crimes born of cupidity, the crimes which spring from the more violent of the passions, reckless of human life, are now to be added, the whole expense of the naval and military services will not suffice to make England a safe and habitable land. Such circumstances require investigation. Thourdi it be admitted that assassination is brutality, red into action by fanaticism , or set in motio n b y roya l bribes, there must be a fund of cold, hard or intense ignorance, in society to give either gold or supernatural terror such power over the mind. We are much afraid that the main cause of all these evils lies in our manners and opinions, and i s not to be removed by laws. For example, we have been taken to task by more than one correspond ent for inserting Mrs. ROBERTS' petition, and for the few remarks we made on her husband's case. Our correspondents are in love with the oppression exercised on others. For example, too, the prosecu tions instituted by the Government of the Chartists, for somewhat violent speeches, were neither so early nor sp vigorously followed up as many re spectable men thought was due to their feelings. For example, also, at this moment there are sundry prosecutions instituted against Socialists and others, not by the free-will of the Ministers, but because there are various respect able classes, clergymen and others, who insist on the honour of GOD being vindicated by criminal prosecutions. In copying the following remarks, therefore, from the Leeds Times, we must say that the system of which it so justly complains our manners a n d op i n i ons, and could springs from not exist, were it not in accordance with them. There must be ductile clay, as well as the potter's hand and wheel to mould it ; and, in like manner, the ductile masses must be willing and ready to take the forms into which legislation presses them, to become what they are. Our Contemporary says— " The character of a people is operated upon, in no small degree, by its laws and its government ; and it ought, in our opinion, to be made matter of the most serious in quiry, how far this growing ferocity on the part of the people, is attributable to misgovernment and injustice on the part of our rulers. " How have the governing classes educated the people; how fed them ; how dispensed justice to them ? What ex amples have they set before them ? Were they of charity, religion, morality, generosity, or kindness ? Have the clergy taught the people love, the law-makers humanity, the judges mercy, the teachers knowledge ? " On the other hand, has not industry been oppressed, and the industrious millions been starved and fleeced by their governing aristocracy ? Has not justice been de filed and polluted at its source, and the laws made the means of coercing and spoiling the multitude ? Has not the education of the people been utterly neglected ; and the religion taught and exemplified in the lives of their Established priests, been merely a cold and heartless wor ship of Mammon, which leaves the heart untouched, asd nourishes ia the public mind an avarice so intense as to brave the fear neither of shame, disgrace, nor punishment? " In short, the people have been demoralised by mis government. What are termed the " lower classes" have been cast beyond the pale of society. They have been abandoned to want, and poverty, and degradation. Everything has worked against the " slave-class " pne;er, and wealth, and pt ivilegc, and property ; and the effects are now becoming apparent in that reckless disre gard of human life which is so distinctive of our time. In these the higher classes are certain to share. The conse quences of their own heathenish neglect of the poorer classes cannot fail to recoil upon themselves. Cases, like chickens, always come home to roost.' " This attempt upon the life of the Queen is a fact that speaks louder than ten thousand tongues." We should find much consolation, even under this view, could we suppose that these late startling events would arouse, not merely the Legislature, but the community, which breathes power into the law, to a deep consideration and perhaps timely revision of current manners and opinions. One thing is quite dear, that no terror of death can or did operate in such cases as that of OXFORD. He could have no hope of escape, and none of mercy. The crime he committed is liable to the heavi est punishment the law can inflict ; nor has murder, though of late so frequent, been released from the penalty of death. While such hostility of class to class exists, therefore, as we have above indi cated,—while the masses are willing to persecute and prosecute one another,—while the priesthood, instead of teaching the virtues and duties now re quired to hold society together, inculcating charity, brotherly love, and honesty,—inflame all the viru lent and sectarian passions, and set an ex ample of most barefaced and continuous extortion, being more rapacious than wolves ; while such are our manners, it will be in vain to hope that the crimes which spring from them can be re pressed or prevented by any severity of punishment. If they, as the Leeds Times remarks, .‘ indicate the growth of a reckless ferocity among the people, and prove the forerunners of great social convul sion ; if they are the straws on the surface, which mark the approach to a destructive whirlpool," what can save us from being engulfed ? The terrors of death are of no avail; what greater terrors cao the law command ? With signal advantage, a great melioration of our sanguinary code has of late years been male ; the reform now required is in our manners, which, if not sanguinary, are re pulsive, unbrotherly, and cruel, causing diabolical acts, which excite universal alarm. The case reported under the head of tl►e Queen's Bench, " The Queen v. The Chapter of Exeter," is well worthy of public attention. Were it an iso lated case, we should think less of it ; hut it must be taken in conjunction with the efforts of the Scotch clergy to set the law at defiance, and with the efforts of our own priesthood to revive the Con vocation, and to procure an increased portion of the public resources—and taken in conjunction with these, the efforts of the Chapter of of Exeter to set aside the authority of the Crown in nominating the Dean, after it has been so exer cised for 300 years, is a confirmation of a design on the part of the priesthood to usurp every possi ble power and every source of wealth they can. We shall forbear from comments on the case till the Court delivers its judgment, contenting ourselves with thus calling the public attention to the new attempt of the Anglican priesthood to revive, for their advantage, the dominion which their Papal predecessors exercised before the Reformation. We must at the same time notice that. the Church of England, which makes such extra vagant demands on the public, is obliged to wait for orders before it can allow its congregation to , return thanks for her MAJESTY'S escape. The Jews, the Catholics, the Dissenters, spontaneously offered up their thanks to the Throne of Grace ► last Sunday; the poor enslaved congregations of the Church of England did not dare to give a voice to their feelings in the temple of their GOD. And this formal pharisaical day and time observing 1 sect is now, if Sir R. INGLJS be successful, to be endowed with more wealth and more power to sup press all the best emotions of the heart. The attempt to assassinate our most gracious and -beloved Sovereign and her Royal Consort, is the sub ject of grave reflections in the Paris Journals of Sun day. The National states that a number of private letters were received in Paris on the subject, filled with sundry rumours, one of which attributed the crime to the agency of the Duke of CUMBERLAND and the Orangemen, who sought to kill her MAJESTY before the birth of an heir to the Throne. This Journal 1 dwells upon the fierce personal attacks made upon the QUEEN by the Tory Papers during the publication of the correspondence relative to Lady FLORA HASTINGS —upon the yell of di light with which they all re ceived the speech of Canterbury BUADSHAW, threat ' eninl the deposition of her MAJESTY—and upon the unmanly and treasonable virulence with which on all occasions they individually assailed her, oven to the exclusion of her Ministers. The French journals likewise notice that Mr. (not:rifles greatest crime, in the eyes of the Tories, has latterly been his ardent loyalty to the QUEEN, and the manliness with which, on the floor of the House of Commons, he hurled de fiance at the recreant head of the Canterbury traitor. When our Paris contemporaries read the strain in which the Irish Orange journals narrate the mur derous and treasonable attack upon her MA JESTY, they will turn towards Hanover with still stronger misgivings than they have yet expressed. The Dublin Evening llTail rc'ates all the circumstances of this atrocious crime in language a thousand times more cold and measured 'than it would employ in narrating an attempt to shoot one of the King of liasovEß's dogs or horses. The report will bear no comparison in the expression of any indignant feeling to the account given of the murder of tithe-hunters, lay or ecelesiastical,in Ireland for the last seven years. There is something more than suspicious in all these things. It may turn out, and we trust it will, that the boy OxFoRD is insane ; but might not the brooding over such a crime produce insanity ? And what is there unaccountable in traitors employing a madman ? The Casior packet arrived at Toulon, on the 10th instant, from Algiers, with news that Marshal VALLEE, dreading the influence of his enemies at Court, who are intent upon his removal, had again taken the field against the Emu... On the 4th instant he marched from Blidah towards .Medeah, which he proposed to re victual, arid thence proceed to Miliaoa. To add to the perplexities of the Marshal, his army was suffering greatly from sickness. In the hospitals at Algiers the number of inmates was estimated at 1,000. The French hospital at the island of Mahon was only capa ble of receiving 500 patients, and even the ap pearance of that number greatly alarmed the in habitants, who dreaded nothing so much as a per manent settlement by the French. Such of the sick as could not he provided with accom modation at Algiers or Mahon, were to be brought in steamers to Toulon. The Madrid Papers of the Bth state that the QUEEN REGENT and her august daughters were to set out for Catalonia on the Ilfh inst. Her Majesty had created the Duke DE LA VITTORIA (EsPAarEao) likewise Duke of MORELLA, and conferred upon him the order of the Golde n Fleece. In all the Dissentin g meeting-houses the metropolis, on Su n d ay, thanks were offered up to the Supreme olleitnigefo j r e, r is e h ser s v y in n g az t o h , e , life of the Queen. The heads event, and prepared a beautiful prayer without for delay hcr after ,,. i e s t t the safety, and a tribute u a d , e an f d o i r n past e h t e ,e r ry deli verance. The Catholic o churches In London imitated the example. In every kirk in t. gl.' t . , t ha i n t juncture t o e r t n u l r c of i k\r !ra it er and praise fur the house, the walls rzisounded w ' saving a life so mee ti g- merciful dispensation of the dear and so ,ssenti:il at the present g'Y I' ' ' to prayer the peace and security of the country. T to g for the En,;iish Church was agreed an] will not he read in the churches tilt Sunday, Yesterday, parlia ment, while this dominant. Church excludes Jews fr a n y tr ; ment, would expel Catholics, tramples on Dissenters,lia. denounces the Kirk as no Church, and claims for he..se the exclusive title to loyalty and true piety—_ s h e is tie t very last in perfartning this great act of public devotion. We have received numerous addresses, agreed to unanimously at various places, congratulating the Q ueen on her pinvidential escape from the ball of the assassin, but can afford space for only a few. The joy is universal, and by publishing even one in a hundred we should only weary our readers w ith repetitions of the some expres sions of loyalty to the Tyrone and gratitude to the Giver of all Good. For stronger reasons Stilt we tie• dine giving at length the accounts concocted one day and contradicted another, about that wretched being who THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 16, t,!44(*, has caused all this painful anxiety and excitement. It is sickening to read the reports of interviews between him and public functionaries, the silly remarks said to be made, and the various details of his life and habits, thereby giving importance to a miscreant that had done his best t o throw this country into a more frightful state of confusion and danger than any perhaps to which it had ever been exposed. The Marquis of Normanby acts a wise part in disappointing as much as possible the morbid curiosity of the public, and the personal vanity of a monster that ought to be held up to universal execration. Mr. Wallace moved that the orders for two returns respecting the business of the Court of Session should be discharged—the reason tor this was, an assurance from the Lord Advocate that one of these returns would be extremely diflieult, if not impossible, to obtain correctly—and that the other was objected to by the profession in Edinburgh, and could not be made in the middle of the Session. On these grounds he moved that the Orders for the Returns should be discharged, and accordingly they were so. IMPERIAL ROTATORY ENGINE PIIMP.--.We have just seea in the gallery at the Lowther Arcade, a pretty little hydraulic machine, tented by Mr. J. S. Worth, of Manchester, (we b eve the same gentleman le i who is the patentee of the • genious machine for making a perfect screw from 4 II of iron wire). A circular box of seven inches j diameter, by about two inches thick, a winch handle, a suction tube, and a delivery pipe, constitute the whole exterior of the machine. Tne principle involved is to obtain a perfect vacuum in the box, by mean; of two revolving valves, the action of which is best described by a reference to a drawing of the interior. The effect is, to deliver a perfectly continnous stream of water, at the rate of about 25 gallons a minute. It acts both as a lift and force pump ; its powers of lifting being, of course, limited to the height to which water will rise in vacua (say 28 to 30 feet), and its forcing powers restricted only by the extent of the power employed and the strength of the materials. This specimen is fitted up as a pump for domestic purposes. It may be screwed to the wall, or other convenient place in any part of the house, and will draw water from a well or cistern in any part of the premises, and force it to the uppermost ; story of the highest houses with perfect ease. It is ap • plicahle to all the purposes for which hydraulic ma chines are used—the larger sizes for pumping of mines. , It appears admirably adapted for a domestic portable . fire engine, capable of being instantaneously applied in that part of a building where a fire originates, and thus arresting the further progress of the flames. It is ca pable of being used as a pneumatic engine ; also for drawing off the foul air frosa the deepest recesses of ' coal mines ; and in this point of view alone, the saving of life which it is calculated to accomplish, renders it a L desideratum in mining districts.

REGISTRATION OF COUNTY VOTERS.- It may not be useless at this time to remind Overseers of the Poor that, on the 20th instant, they are directed by Act of Parliament, (2 William IV., c. 45. s. 37), to cause to be fixed on, or near, the doors of all the churches and chapels within their respective townships, or, if there be no church or chapel therein, then to be fixed to some other conspicuous situation, a notice requiring all persons who may be eneled to vote in the election of Knights of the Shire, to serve in Parliament, to send in their claims as such voters to the Overseers, on or before the 20th day of July next. - In the Times of this morning, the sister of the assassin it made to say that, " when she threw herself in his arms on leaving the Home office, after he was examined before the Privy Council, he was rudely torn from her by the rolice constable." We are authorised by an eye witness who was present the whole time, to contradict directly this statement. The police did not interfere, and the prisoner parted from his sister of his own accord. MEETINGS TO ADDRESS THE QUEEN.- Already the people of Dublin are in motion, and requisitions are in preparation for parish meetings to give expression to the devoted loyalty of her Al?jest)'s Irish subjects, and their horror at the attempt upon her lit:. —Dublin Evening Post. - - FA L MoUT 11, JUNE 13.—Her Majesty's packet Opossum, Lieutenant Peter, arrived yesterday from Vera Cruz, brought 840,000 dollars, making 1,220,000 in toto, in cluding the Linnet's freight, in two days' arrivals. This amount is chiefly on account of the Real del Monte Mming been Company. engaF4 A miner, passenger in the Op9ssuna, who has edonthemine, states that nothing can exceed the flattering appearance of the lower levels, the lodes consisting, by his description, of veins of pure silver, the only mixture, if any, be ng gold. The Opossum and the Linnet will go at once to Plymouth ; the former will be paid off, the latter to have her copper repaired. LEEDS GREAT TEMPE:RANCF. DEMONSTRA TIwi AND FEsrivA L.—On Tuesday, one of the most formid able demonstrations in the cause of temperance paraded the streets of Leeds. Even in the early part of the day the greatest excitement began to manifest itself in every part of the town. Before two o'clock in the afternoon, the time announced for a grand procession to proceed from King-street, the greater part of the windows of the dwelling-houses on the route command ing a view, were beautified with the smiiing faces of anxious spectators. The scene presented in King-street, Park-place, Queen-street, and Wellington-road, the places appointed for arranging Cie order of the procession, was truly one of the most magnificent and inspiring ever beheld here, and, we may say, is exceeded by none in attraction but those which a closely contested election for our Borough Members has at times given us on the day of nomination.—Leeds Times. MERTHYR TYPVIL.—Those workmen at Mer thyr Tydvil who stood out against the recent reduction of wages, have all returned to their work. During the few days of disagreement the men conducted themselves peaceably and creditably. We most sincerely hope that an improvement in the marlet will soon enable the ironmasters to give the former prices.— Washmwt. THE WEATHER AND CROPS.—Since cur last impression the weather has been mild and salubrious, and, both crops and pasture never presented a more promising and vigorous appearance. It is generally allowed that vegetation is fully three weeks earlier than at this time last year, and in proof of which we may state there is a fine field of wheat be longing to Mr. Lockie, seedsman, in the immediate vicinity of the town, nos in ear, and just bursting the shot blade. Should the weather continue favourable there is every prospect of an early and abundant harvest. —Kelso Chronicle. The coin crops in the neighbourhood of Brad ford are looking remarkably well, and the wheat is just ready for shet-ttirtg. The grass crops are also heavy, and a little tine weather would induce the farmers to commence mowing.— Halifax Express. A partial commencement has been made in the hay harvest in the immediate neighbourhood of this city, and should the weather prove favourable the scythe will next week be in pretty general operation around us. The crop is excel lent almost everywhere, and in some places much beyond the average.— Worcester Herald. NATURAL CURIOSITY.—There is at this time a singular instance of the fearlessness of birds during incuba tion, to be seen in the Church at Pembridge. A redbreast has taken possession of a small tray within the clerk's desk (where he kept his papers, alrnanack, &c.) and built her nest; previ ously to its commencement she turned all the papers out ; she sits undisturbed by the Sunday's duty, and has hatched five eggs ; the young ones are now nearly fit to leave the nest. She is not at all disturbed by being looked at after the service is concluded.—Hereford Times. Lord Alford is laid up at Lord Brownlow's in Belgrare .square from the effects of an accident, which prevents him from attending to his parliamentary ditties. His Lordship fell from his horse on the pavement in Belgrave-street, by which he cut his lip, and knocked out two of his teeth. He is going on well. The Duke of Bedford has been suffering from en attack of illness, but his Grace is now convalescent.

BLACK WALL R A ILWAY.---FOr some weeks past several hundred men have been employed by night as well as by day to get this line of railway ip,-so forward a state as to be opened on 'Thursday next, the sfiniversary of the battle of Waterloo. This railway will b9formally opened nn Thursday, when a train will be in readiness at a terminus in the Iklinories to take the Directors and their friends to ISlacixall, when a handsome entertainment will be provided for them.

TO THE • ITOR OF THE SUN. Ste ) —Your Jourratfof the 12th inst. contained an ar ticle, intitled Clegga' Atmospheric Railway." A reference to The Sun Newspaper, the Railway Magazine, Railway Times, and Mining Journal, of about 20th of February, 1838, will show, in the report adopted by a public meeting of the shareholders in the " Pneumatic Railway Association," that I am the author and patentee of the Pneumatic or Atmospheric Railway. Mr. Clegg's name is mentioned in the report as having been examined by the Committee of Inquiry; on the subject of my inven tion, which he,in connexion with Mr. Samuda, the engine manufacturer, and-others, are now pirating, without even so much as a colourable variation of the invention, the details of which they were taught by me whilst canfidentiallyemployed. Having laboured in respect of this subject since the year 1825, and expended some thousand pounds in the endea vour to introduce it into public use, and being injured by ray former servants, I trust the circumstance and the facts that I shall now state will induce you to accord to me the justice of inserting this communication in your respectable and widely-circulated Journal. To understand the character of the proceedings of Messrs. Clegg and Samuda, and other persons mentioned in the said report, who aro now aiding them, it will suffice to state that, in 1837, Messrs. Samuda wore the manufac turing engineers employed to construct the principal part of the works and machinery which were intended for de monstrating the practicability of the pneumatic or at mcspheric system of railway, which was intended to be made on the Birmingham, Bristol, and Thames Junction Line, that Mr. Clegg who was then con nected in business with Messrs. Samuda, was con fidentially employed by Me in respect of this inven tion; that the detailed experiments in the construction, of the works were, during many months, going on under the immediate inspection of Mr. Clegg, and the Samudas, with whom, from day to day, I held confidential communi cation, by reason ef their employment, as documentary evidence under the hands of the parties, now in my posses sine, will prove, and Samuda sued the party now aiding them for 500/ , in respect to those detailed experiments made for my projected system. These works were expressly constructed to be applied to the Birmingham, Bristol, and Thames Junction Rail way, as the first published prospectus of that railway will show. and of dimensions suitable to the identical spot on which the demonstration has now taken place, but for a more efficient power, and in accordance with the two patents sealed by me :n 1834 and 1836. The engine ices a 30-horse steam-engine, the pneumatic mains were 13} inches diameter, therafora of about double the pow. r now exhibited. Messrs. Clegg and Samuda have betrayed the confi , leece I reposed in them, and have, in connection with parties I am now suing at law, pirated my invention in all its de tails, the combinations of which are of such a na-ure, Oe,t to et it any one of them, a practical operation would be impossible. My recorded sp,:cilleatiotis arc the evidence of this—Mr. Clegg witnessed the experiments that I made in 1835. I hold for this invention patents in Great Bri tain, on the Continent, and in Amcrica, and I bav,,gl,eady incurred the expenditure of te•ousAnds in respect of them No piracy of the invention has ever been attempted ex cept by those who from time to time have been emp!ojed to construct works, &c., for cart.) ing out my ptojection. Mr. Clegg, under the deceptive title of . 4 linpreve ments in Valves (applicable to pumps)" watt permitted to run through patents without notice to me, although i had caveats entered in the proper offices, notwithstanding which I was designedly kept in ignorance of his application for patents, which I would upon proper notice have prevented im from obtaining, but which nevertheless cannot be maintained. I have a right of property in the invention which is in. jured, not only by aw piracy but by the publicity given to it through the public journals. The works formerly con structed by Sainudas and others for roe were at the very threshold of completion and public demonstration, out of funds belonging to rn. , , broken up and sold off by unprin cipled men, the very parties now encouraging the piracy, and at the moment when i was about to solve a scientific problem. which would have destroyed the prejudice with which I bad had to contend for years. My redress of course is at law, slow in its operations, but I doubt not sure in a case of such a character, am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, HENRY PINKUS, Old Slaughter's Hotel, June 13, 1840. ANTI-SLAVERY CON VENTLON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. RESPECTED SIR,—I notice in your Paper to-day the following " Rev. Mr. Grew argued very shortly in favour of the original motion in favour of the admission of the ladies." Tbis is incorrect. I argued in opposition to the motion. I am persuaded jou will do me the justice (as I deem it a matter of importance) to correct the error immedia►ely in your Paper. I do not notice any reference to the interesting fact of the presentation by myself to the venerable Cbairman, Mr. Clarkson, of a history of the Pennsylvania Hall. sent to that revered pioneer of liberty, by Mr. Samuel Webb, of Philadelphia. You will oblige Mr. W. by stating the fact in your Paper. Very respectfully, London, June 13, 1840. HENRY GREW. OVERLAND MAILS TO INDIA. (From the Bombay Courier of the 21st of March.)

DISTRESSED OPERATIVES. --HINTS TO LANDLORDS.—The following letter is written in a beautiful hand, and we have since learnt that the writer belongs to the most intelligent class of our skilled workmen 66 TO THE EDITOR Or T HE. LEEDS TIMES. " Dear Sir,--On reading your Journal on Saturday last, I found a paragraph statinc' that there were a n umber of woollen mills about being established in Italy, and that families were engaging th emse l ves to qu i t t h e i r native land, in search of em ployment. My reason for addressing you is to obtain some in formation where and when to apply for further information, as to forming any engagement with persons who wish to hire English workmen. I can assure vou I would not have in truded upon your laborious duties, if I had not been jaded out with walking the streets of Bradford with lees than half employ ment for the last sit menths. I love my native land, and would not leave it, or attempt to leave it , i f sufficient employ ment were to be had i n it ; but it seems that our legislators are determined, at all hazards, that the labourer of this country shall not be 'worthy of his hire.' The Repeal of our Corn laws, and thereby an extension of our trade, seems as if it would frighten them into hysterics. But I would ask, what will be the value of their estates, after manufac' iv es hive left the country, an I the artis iris either crossed the Atlantic or the German Ocean ? I should take it as a ',articular tavour if you would condescend to answer my inquiries at your earliest lei sure.—Your's ever truly in the cause of improvement." THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

The Ascot Cup monopolized the whole of the little business transacted yeiterdav ; it was remarkable only for the advance of Bloomsbury to the cad of the list, and the absolute retire•. ment of Don John ; in place of the latter Hetman Platoff will be found, as little as 4 t.o 1 having been taken in the early part of the afternoon ; his friends, however, grew shy as the evening approached, and, at the close, 6 to 1 went begging.

The Hon. Henry Watnon, brother of Lord Sondes, with a praiseworthy munificence, intends erectino• m a new church at Guil s b 3ro ugh, Northamptonshire , entirely at his own expense. The cost of the building, it is said, will amount to upwards of 5,0001, EVENING EDITION. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOU:3.ti A.LS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS or THIS DAV'. (From the Morning Chrvnicle.) Sir Robert Inglis's motion for sinking a good round .vim of public money in church walls and clerical stipen ieee comes on to-night. We know not for what amount b' means to move, for his address is silent on this important:, subject; but many millions of pounds sterling as an ou'e lay, and some millions per annum, will be required to com plete the plans of the Extensionists, and provide church room for a population, a large proportion of which will never use it. The object of these gentry is to make a place at church for every person in the country; and this et a time when nearly, if not quite, half the religious people of the country have built and paid for their ow places of worship already. It is proposed to tax them all, nevertheless. These new churches, to be erected by means of a public impost, are contemplated also at a time when to levy rates for keeping the existing churekes in 'repair has become a matter of increasing difficulty. Only - last week, there were sundry instances of the seivnee of Dissenters' goods for Church-rates; and by two lair metropolitan parishes a rate was refused. Sir RobOrt Inglis must read the signs of the times with a curious OA to judge this a fitting season for his prpposition. ( From the Times., Lord John Russell, although nut without considerable pretensions to probity, has shown on various occasions that he is by no means above having recourse to poli i lciti stratagems at a pinch. Of this it has been our pa nn" task of late years to adduce many conclusive proofs. His Lordship's asseveration that there could be no satisfactory adjustment of the Irish Tithe question without the me: morable Appropriation Clause, which, when it had gain's his party purpose, was, after all, unscrupulously *ban doned--his connivance in the bedchamber plot, as sa accessory after the fact—his personal implication in the indecent despatch of the Perthshire writ, as well as his intrigue to prevent Ludlow and Cambridge from contri-• bating two Conservative votes for the committal of Lord. Stanley's Irish Registration Bill—all this has incontestably - proved, that if the Noble prude have only a steffieiOt temptation, there is scarcely an equivocal line of policy which his fastidiousness will not allow him to persue. To the same purpose is the illustration of his staieiess st,Atc manship which the Noble Lord has stooped to g:ve us, in regard to the two Bills about to be introduced fer pee petuating and perfecting the Poor-law Commission. (From the Morning Advertiser.) The two Bills of L )rd John Russell. fur reforming thei registration and giving efficacy to the suffrage, which have , just been laid on the table of the House, we have already' analysed. A few words of expatiation may be expedient. The Bill for amending the registration substitutes for ther lee revising barristers now employed yearly to revise the registers, fifteen revising barristers, who are to make cir cuits through the country, and to be employed throuebou t the year, in this duty. The elect of so greatly reducing the number of the revising barristers. and making the antic. of t e6eion their stile duty, s'ssili be to introduce more cer tainty and uniformity into the decisions ; end wilt be still farther advanced by the Court of Appeal, ove r, which three of the fifteen revising barristers ire to be ape pointed judges, and which is to decide dispuesd points of law, but nut metters of fact. Every prccautio n is takes to secure the fair appointment an the in , :epend Ince of the revising barristers and judges. The eff ct of the new Bilis if passed into law, will be to change the time of boldingh the revision in most places ; but abundant untie e o f te holding of the Courts—namely, four months—le to h e given. The great object of the new arrangements 10 remove every obstruction that now exists to the obteloi°,.g an ultdisturbee holding of the franchise, by th one wu° really possess the qualification. (From the Morning Herald.) The te!egraphic despatch from the Ambassadca' France at London to the President of the French C ouisSus a copy of which appeared in our columns of yesterday , i‘ e " lative to the recent attempt at regicide, favours the suppo' sition that the act was one of insanity. and so fa r beats the explanation given of it in the Morning Herald. would indeed be a great satisfaction to the public to WO / that no sane human being in England could have medi7 tilted, much less have coolly endeavoured to perpetrate , 50 foul, savage, and diabolical a crime ao that of murdering the youthful Sovereign of England—the lovely bride of : Prince, young and amiable as herself; .and likely to a d to the titles of Queen and wife, that BO.' more e ndearl# one, which twines the best and holiest affections wir which nature endows the female heart with a husband's pride, and a nation's hope in the successietr P f Eng lau d l . • Monarchs.

PERLIN, JUNE 9.—A depxation of the Municipal Coon' cil and Magistrates for the city of Berlin, waited on his Majesty yesterday, to present an address of eondolence on the death of tie late King, at the same time offering, to the name of all the inhabitants of Berlin, in the wan e of all the Prussian subjects, the assurance of the sincerest affection and respect, and the most perfect obedience , and of inviolable fidelity to his Majesty. His Majesty was coming out of his cabinet w hen the was announced, and orders were given to admit it immediately. As it drew near, tears fell from ti'e eyes ter of the King, who took the hand of the chief Burgorti , as Krausnick, and Magistrate l.).'sselrnann; and basing lis te,ed to the addro ' s of the Buriromaster, who was icePIY affected. Hia Nlaj..sty with. difficulty conquering emotion, replied in the following gr.icions words, whico made an indelible impression on the memory and beats of those who heard them : I am deeply Aiicted by the great loss which the country and myself have sustained by the decease of so el' collent a father, but at the same time greatly effected by (;evot,duess which the city of Berlin ha; always no ,:ifested to , to B , ive , ,i.:4.ns. ft has sp daily displayed it in these last days. The universal feeling of :ill the inhabi tants, which has been so clearly pronounced, has been g real com,olation to me and to us till. I love Berlin, not only as my native city, but because it has al.vays set an example to the whole country in the best sentiments and its everything goad; it proved this in 1810 and 1813, and now again quite recently. I shall never forget the year 1810 nor 1813, when I wtts myself here for a snort times and was a witness of it, and , :hen so noble a spirit.evol• where as now manifested itself. " I see you unprepared, and tlicge words come front my heart, and so it will ever he between us. lam your true and your warmest friend." His Majesty then again gave his band to the Burgonlas ter and the Magistrate, and graciously dismissed the De" putation.—Prussian State Gazette. FLAT GOLD WA'T'CHES, Gold 1) 115 ' Ten Guineas each.
