Unless the Free-trade electors immediately open their eyes t o a consciousness of their own p erver se and perilous proceedings, several of the Liberal con stituencies will send Conservatives, as their represen tatives, to Parliament. Unless, Ive repeat it empha.. tinily, the enfranchised promoters of the popular movement cast their prepossessions or their personal Piques aside at once—unless they dispassionately de bate within themselves as to the claims of the dif ferent candidates—unless they calculate beforehand the most probable issue of the electioneering contest, they will most certainly betray the cause of liberality, either by a t em p orary gra tifi c ation of ill humour or by an ill-advised division of their numerical strength. We regret to observe this disposition in more than one of those thoroughly t independent constituencies which have hitherto eleced principles. Among men of honest purposes :and generousthe most striking -.which recur to our recollection at this moment are th e boroughs of Maryleb one , of Lambeth, of Stock.

With every respect for Mr. W. generalp as a et voner , a nd a p rivate character, we do conceive that it would have been to the advantage of his repu tation hs,d he desisted from the rash course upo n which he. has adventured. Fortunately, however, for those &itizen-electors who are solicitous to aid in the cause .of social and political progression, the ap- N•earance car Mr. PAYNE has not in any very alarming nianner damaged the interests of the Prime Minister of England, or of his three distinguished colleagues, Mi' . -rATTiscei, Sir GECRG L ARPEN T, and Baron Lia NEL ROTRACHILD.

Lord DUDLEY STUART is entitled to their suffrages for consistency, for position, for abi . lities,forcandour, for boldness, and for uncompromis ing independence. In Lambeth, some show of disunion has resulted from the blundering appearance of Mr. CHARLES PEARSON, the City Solicitor. We cannot dream for an instant, however, that either Mr. HAWES or Mr. TENNYSON D'EYNCOURT will be deserted—tried and honourable representatives as they have proved themselves to be. Mr. CHARLES PEARSON is em phatically the advocate of filth and nastiness— he is for plunging the half-extricated millions back again into the actual filth and moral nastiness in which they have been immersed for centuries. The old prison discipline is the theme of his eulogiums—that old brutal system which transformed our prisons into pigsties, and decimated our criminals by the ravages of goal fever. Mr. PEARSON is opposed to the Health of Towns Bill ; an interference with the dirt of the population appears to him little less than an infraction of Magna Charts. If the people would preserve their civil and religious liberty, they must, in the estima tion of Mr. PEARSON, prevent the introduction of anything like cleanliness. Education, again, is so cal culated to purify the minds of the multitude, that it finds as strenuous an obstruction in the person of the City Solicitor as it has long since found in the pamphle teer of Leeds. In plain language, Mr. CHARLES PEAR SON is what we have already more than once called a DIRTY POLITICIAN, but beyond this Mr. PEARSON is, unfortunately, a dirty politician, physically and morally. Will Lambeth disgrace itself by sending a DIRTY POLITICIAN to Parliament ? Will it desert either of its old champions, HAWES, or TENNYSON D'Em- COURT ? We cannot think it. To-morrow, however, the local nomination takes place : let the constitu ency then decide between HAWES and TENNYSON D'EYNCOURT and—A DIRTY POLITICIAN ! Of all provincial boroughs about the representation of which there should not be one moment's hesitation the first and foremost is most certainly Stockport. Do not insultyour ill ustrious Member—Mr. COBDEN— by associating with him a shallow pretender to libe rality and free-trade. Let one name alone be com bined with that of COBDEN in the representation of your interests, and in the furtherance of the interests of England and of the whole world ! Electors of Stock port, remember that you have risen to great dignity among the boroughs of the British empire, remem ber this, and elect as the fitting colleague of Mr. COBDEN only such a man as Mr. KERSHAW of Man chester. Cheltenham, in like manner, must not be de luded from the honourable path it has pursued ever since it has been declared a borough. Ever since it has acquired that voice in the Imperial Legislature it has been represented in the House of Commons by the Hon. CRAVEN BERKELEY. Con sistently, honestly, liberally, boldly, perpetually, the Hon. CRAVEN BERKELEY has spoken and voted, as Member for Cheltenham, in the cause of constitu tional reform. His name has continually appeared, during the tw•o past sessions, in the free-trade divisions. He is an advocate for sanitary improve ment, and by his spirited opposition to the monstrous Bill for the Prevention of Seduction and Prostitu tion—a Bill which says little enough for the judg ment of Mr. SPOONER, awl which has elicited the condemnation of Lord BROUGHAM, of Lord CAMP BELL, and of all the legal authorities of any eminence —he has acquired the approval of every honest constituent. Against this long-tried and consci entious Liberal the Cheltenham electors are surely not going to encourage such a spurious politician as Sir WILLOUGHBY JONES, or such a political punchinello as Captain CARRINGTON SMITH. The nomination is fixed for to-morrow ; let the con stituency proclaim that consistency, character, and liberality are fully appreciated in Cheltenham by re turning the Hon. CRAVEN BERKELEY with a trium phant majority ! Since the foregoing was commenced we have received intelligence of the return, without opposition, of the Finsbury Tribunes—THOMAS SLINGSBY DIINCOMBE and THOMAS WAILLEY. Honour to the electors of Finsbury t they have shown themselves worthy of their representatives, and have afforded a brilliant example to the other constituen cies of England. May we not regard it as a splendid augury that the two first Members of the new Parliament are such men as Mr. DUNCOMBE and Mr. WARLEY ? We have often seen some provincial would-he dandy of slender pretensions aping the style and appearance of a man of fashion, and fancying that, by closely following the shape and materials of the garments, the peculiarities of the gestures and man ner, he was placing himself upon afooting of equality in the opinion of the surrounding multitudes with the object of his imitation. The wretched mimic is himself generally deceived, and some few of his im mediate followers may flatter him, by asserting that he really rivals the other, but the public in general are not so easily blinded ; they readily distinguish between the sterling gold and the gilded counterfeit, between the polished and educated gentleman and his servile imitator, and the latter will only succed in exciting a contemptuous smile at the folly of his absurd and ridiculous pretensions. So it is with the Protectionist leader. He wishes to be regarded as a statesman, as one fitted to conduct the councils and to wield the destinies of the empire. With this view he copies the sayings and doings of Sir ROBERT PEEL. If the latter addresses a pamphlet to his constituents, the former thinks it essentially neces sary that he should pen a voluminous epistle to the happy borough which, he condescends to represent. If statistical facts are brought forward by the ex-Premier as evidences of the soundness of his judgment, and of the beneficial results of his policy, the modern Quix , tte crams his letter with an equally imposing array of figures, intended to act as a counterpoise thereto. Here, however, the re semblance altogether ceases ; for while the one con vinces any unprejudiced mind, and by the most un answerable arguments establishes the truth of his propositions, the other brings forward a series of fallacies easy of detection, and which can scarcely im pose upon the most credulous or superficial. The real strength of a case is frequently discovered from the weakness and insufficiency of the answer ; so in the present instance, if any doubt or hesitation could remain after the masterly exposition of Sir ROBERT PEEL, it would be completely removed by the reply of Lord GEORGE BENTINCK, the many points left wholly untouched, or slurred over with some frivo lous and insufficient answer. All the earlier parts of Sir ROBERT'S address are left wholly unnoticed, or met only by that easiest ar gument, a torrent of vituperation and abuse. In this respect Lord GEORGE would appear to have grounded his tactics on something similar to instructions fre quently given to an advocate, viz., "W e have no de fence ; abuse the plaintiff's attorney." Hence no speech, or letter of any kind, is ever free from per sonal invective and vindictive attack. He does not venture to impeach the great result set forth by the ex-Premier, that a remission of duties to the enormous amount of 7,625,0001. had not only been unattended with any corresponding loss to the Exchequer, but that there had actually been an increase in the ordi nary revenues of the country in the financial year, ending the sth of April, 1847, over that derived from the same sources in the year ending the .sth of April, 1841. He appears in that respect to rest satisfied with the abortive defence contained in his statement to the House of Commons, the folly and absurdity of which we exposed in The Sun of Thursday last. The present e ff ort i s di recte d , not aga i nst t h e won derfula result s o f t h e f ree-trade pol i cy, b ut i t i s attempt tolare h urgent rgentand there was ssityfort not he altera tionthat that was insisted on by the late Mi nistry. In order to establish this proposition, he attempts to show that there was no real scarcity or distress existing in Ireland unt il after the change of the corn-laws, and the total ab o liti on of protective imposts on the food of the people. Notwithstanding the fearful realities that were unfortunately too ap parent, he persists in asserting that Ireland was in a prosp e rous condition in the earlier part of prosp 1840 that there was no actual failure of the potato crop — an d with a most reprehen sible want of candour, he wholly omits all mention of the 733,000/. advanced at the instance of Sir ROBERT PEEL from the na tional Exchequer, one moiel as a gift, and the residue as a loan, for the relief of the distress in that country up to the harvest of 1846, and would strive to have it inferred that 120,6521. only had been expended for that purpose. Could there possibly be a stronger confirmation of the truth and justice of the arguments put forward with such force and power by the real statesman, to whom we owe the final defeat of monopoly ? He then draws a contrast between the scales of Lord LIVERPOOL and CANIIINO in 1827 and of Sir R. PEEL in 1828, 1842, and 1846, and attempts to show that, as greater variations in the price of grain had taken place since the introduction of the latest of these systems, than during the continuance of any of the others, the attempt was a total failure. Here, again, he appears to forget a statement contained in the earlier part Of his letter, viz., "that as yet this vast free- trade experiment has only been tested under circumstances of famine." How the Noble Lord can attempt to show any deductions whatsoever, either favourable to, or in opposition to the policy, in the face of such an admission, it is not for us to explain. Like the redoubted Tom Thumb, " he makes the giants first, and then he kills them." It would seem a fairer line of argument if he were to afford some view as to what would have been the probable results had the Legislature still continued the protective policy, and retained the several restrictions on the supply of food. It scarcely requires a prophet to tell us what fearful scenes of misery and suffering would have been enacted had the remission not taken place. The Gallant Pro tectionist then passes to the future policy of the country. He takes his stand on the navigation laws, to which he avows the most devoted adherence, as " the last battle-ground of old-fashioned English protection of British interests." And he congratu lates himself on his brilliant plan for the relief of des titute railway scripholders, by the advance of 16,000,0001. of British capital to Irish railways, which he seems to think would have completely re moved the necessity for any other expenditure, again forgetting that his plan, if sanctioned by the Legisla ture, could scarcely have been brought into general operation up to the present period, and that it would not have saved one shilling of the vast outlay rendered necessary for the immediate relief of the people. It would be unjust to deprive the Noble Lord of the credit due to those parts of his policy founded on better principles. We heartily join him in his reprobation of the mischievous Act of 1844, by which the monetary transactions of the country are fettered and its energies restrained, and also in the just indignation against the unprincipled defaulters who have swindled British subjects out of such enormous sums of money. We have, however, no sufficient grounds for judging of the means by which he would attempt to remedy these evils, and we confess we have not sufficient re liance on his judgment and prudence as to leave these vitally important subjects to his discretion. The docu ment is manifestly intended to influence the elections on behalf of the Protectionists generally, and we can only say, that we heartily desire that it may obtain all the weight that it really deserves—and that every elector may see that, by supporting a protec tionist candidate, he will be lending his aid, in the words of their leader, "to restore (what he calls) protection to the farmer in some shape or other." According to the latest accounts Switzerland is again likely to become the scene of civil war. The Deputies of Lucerne, Ury, Schwytz, Unter walden, Zug, Friburg, and Valais, have issued the following protect, in which they declare that they feel it their duty to make preparations so as to oppose any attempt of the other cantons against their rights and privileges. _ _ " Berne, July 22. " The conventions which have been adopted by the high electors of the undersigned Deputies of the cantons of Lucerne, Ury, Schwytz, Unterwalden, Zug, Friburg, and Valais, are nothing else than a convention on the manner of rendering each other assistance, a thing foreseen and imposed on the cantons as a duty by Art. 4 of the Federal Pact. Events, till then unheard of, caused those resolutions, and made it a duty for the cantons to come specially to an understanding on the manner of executing this disposition of the Federal Pact to guaran tee themselves against any attack which might take place against their territory and against the right of sovereignty which belongs to them. These resolu tions are a defensive alliance commanded by the duty of our own conservation, and they are based on Art 4 of the Federal Pact. Whilst the apprehensions of the cantons which signed the conference (the seven cantons) are still justified by the present situation of federal affairs, the undersigned Deputies had reason to expect that sufficient guarantees would be given to them for the full and entire recognition and defence of the rights of sovereignty, and of the rights of religious liberty which belong to these cantons. Instead of that, twelve cantons and two half cantons have declared the League dissolved which was concluded for their security, and the seven cantons have been rendered responsible for the observance of that decision. The undersigned Deputies find themselves forced to declare, in the name of their cantons, that they do not recognise in a majority of the cantons of the Federation the right to take such a deci sion, and that they see therein a new attack against the rights which are guaranteed to them by the Federal Pact of 1815, and against their right of sovereignty since confirmed; consequently they do not recognise that decision, and referring themselves to the declaration made on August 31, 1846, and strong in the sentiment of liberty and independence purchased by the precious blood of their fathers, and conserved till now by the grace of God, they solemnly protest against the deci sion. To this protest they add a declaration which is quite as solemn, namely, that the seven cantons will act as they have acted till now, and will prove in the future that they only desire and are determined to observe the Pact in all its dispositions, as well as the oath they have taken." It is said that the Deputies of the seven cantons quitted Berne after signing the protest. The depu tation of Geneva presented a motion declaring that any relation with the separate League by officers or military employs of the Federation, is incompatible with their duty, and that the Federal Directory should be charged to inquire into the position of such officers and employes This motion, and the protest above given, would, it was believed, be taken into consideration at the sitting of the Diet on the 23d. At Geneva a body of free corps has been enrolled for the support of the orders of the Diet. On the 224 an apprehension was entertained that disturbances would occur at Glaris and Lau-anne. The Patriotic Society of Lausanne, on becoming ac quainted with the resolution of the Diet pronouncing the dissolution of the Sonderbund, published a Proclamation, engaging the inhabitants to enrol them3elves as volunteers in the corps franc. The Council of State of Yawl immediately took the energetic: resolution to dissolve that society, and, to attain that object, published an ordinance which has created great sensation in Switzerland. Im portant news from abroad compelled, it is said, the authorities to disavow the proclamation ; but the Prefect MEYSTRE, who signed it, was neither dis missed nor interfered with. The following is the let ter of the French Ambassador to the President and Executive Council of Berne, which has been alluded to by the Helvetie:— " Berne, July 20. " Gentlemen,—l have this moment learned that on Saturday last, the 17th inst., M. Jenni, a member of the Grand Council, caused his dog to publicly wear the Order of the Legion of Honour on the promenade of the Engni at the moment when it was most crowded. I have to request y ou , gen tl emen , to give me satisfaction for this act, w hi c h I s h a ll re f ra i n f rom qua lify i ng as it deserves. Not having any doubt as to the manner in which you will regard it yourselves, I leave the matter in your hands, relative to the means that you may I deem proper to adopt in the present cae--whether yo determine to proceed against M. Jenni ex. officio, in ac u cordance with the full powers conferred by the law on the executive authority ; or whether you determine on demanding from the Grand Cou nc il t h e app li cat i on o f such measures of discipline which every b ody possesses its with respect to members." The Government of Berne replied to the Ambas. sador : " I. That it could not proceed against M . iex Jenni officio, as the law did not give it any power to do so; 2. That the affair in question did not regard the Grand Council, inasmuch as M. Jenni had not as yet taken the oaths; and that his election was inipuzned; that besides, the regulations of the Grand Council did not authorise any measures of discipline to be taken relative to its members in matters which concerned their private life ; 3. That if the Count de Bois-le-Comte considered him self wronged, he could apply for redress to the courts of law." A letter from Lucerne, of the 17th, in the Augsburg Gazette, says :—" In the course of this week 3,000 guns have arrived in the Primitive Cantons ; they are destined for a general armament. To be ready for all events, the governments of Schwytz and Zug will immediately cause ammunition to be distributed to the troops. General de Sonnenberg passed in review eight battalions of the landwehr. At Lucerne and in other cantons redoubts are being constructed in certain places. In the radical cantons the clubs dis play ext raor di nary act i v i ty. S t ill w h a t proves that the radical "thWijasul is not very strong g this moment is, that their gifts for this year's fete des 1 aniuebusiers are fewer by one half than they were last year." The conflict in the Caucasus is still going on with undiminished inveteracy. A correspondent writes from St. Petersburgh on the 13th " Since the brilliant feat of arms of Colonel Slepnw, near China Jurt, a new attempt has been made in the Dagbastan to retake the village of the Gergebel, (Tett pi: dby the mountaineers. On June 16th the Ceroman der in Chief gave oiders for the attack, but the 13,- siege,l made so obstinate a resi'tance that the Russians were obliged to retire, and after three ineft ctual assaults were obliged to return unsuccessful to their camp, with twenty-eight officers and eighty-two men wounded, and haying 115 men lulled." It would appear that the Jesuit conspiracy recently discovered in Rome had extensive ramifications, and that the Austrian authorities were cognizant of the projects of the Serviles, and fully prepared to follow up any advantage they might have obtained. On the 17th, the day it was to explode, two battalions of Austrian troops, of 800 men each, followed by four pieces of artillery, with lighted matches, entered Ferraro, a city of the POPE'S dominions, in the cita del of which the Austrians maintain a garrison. The soldiers had their muskets loaded, their bayonets fixed, and wore green bows in their caps. Their behaviour was most insulting, and they affected all the airs of a victorious army entering a vanquished city. The men were quartered in the barrack of San Domenico, and the officers, after an attempt to be billetted on the inhabitants, which was resisted by the Cardinal Legate, were obliged to take up their residence in the hotels. On the 19th those " foreigners " were still in possession of the city ; but their endeavours to create disorders by insolent provocations had hitherto failed of effect. At Faenza, on the 17th, the Carabineers had attacked the people without any motive, and, but for the Swiss troops who had joined the latter, many lives would have been lost, so great was the exaspera tion on both sides. At Bologna the celebration of the anniversary of the amnesty was unattended with any public demonstration. In one of the churches, a Corsican, supposed to be an Austrian agent, inde cently interrupted the preacher whilst he was extolling the virtues of Pius IX. He, however, ' failed to produce any disorder, and was suffered to escape unmolested. It appears that the conspirators ' in Rome intended to begin by murdering the popular chiefs CICERUACCHIO, SCARCELLI, and the lawyer MORANDI. The latter had been appointed temporary Governor of Rome. The Augsburg Gazette publishes a letter from Athens of the 11th instant, in which it is stated that M. R. Schinas, who was Minister of Justice at the commencement of Coletti's administration, had em barked for Constantinople, and that it was be lieved that he was entrusted with a mis sion to arrange the quarrel between the two Govern ments with respect to M. .aiussurus. The same letter states that the British Government had again de manded payment from the Greek Government of the interest on the loan, and that it threatened to adopt stronger measures in case of a refusal. The Belgian Ministry is not yet formed, but the following are the names spoken of as probable, by the Brussels papers : INTERIOR.—M. Charles Rogier. JUSTICE.—M. H. de Brouckere. FOREIGN AFFAIRS.—Count Lehon. FINANCES.—M. Laurent Veydt. PUBLIC WORKS.— M. d'Hoffschmidt. WAR.—General Chazal. The King was expected to arrive in Brussels, from Paris, on Monday. The Madrid papers of the 21st instant have arrived. The merchants and capitalists of Madrid had sent an address to the Queen against Salamanca's mone tary system. The Carlists are still showing themselves, and several little affairs have taken place between them and the 'Queen's troops, but without any marked ad vantage on either side. The Gageta publishes a decree re-establishing the tribunal of the Rota Nunciatura, under the presi dency of the POPE'S delegate in Madrid. At the end of the third day's voting in Madrid for the election of Deputies, the Progressista candidates were at the head of the poll. The following appointments have been made : General CABBED°, Captain-General of Gallicia ; General ESPELETA, Captain-General of Estremadura ; and General NOEZAGARY, Captain-General of Ar ragon. The QUEEN is still at La Granja. MADRID BOLSA, JULY 21.—The Three per Cents. were done at 27 for cash; the Five per Cents. at 17i for paper; and the Debt without interest at 51. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. The Moniteur publishes the Quarterly Report of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, from which it appears that during the months of April, May, and June they have purchased 20,157 f. 4 per Cent Rentes, which cost 505,178 f. 85c., the average price being 100-23 per cent.; and 311,673 f. 3 per Cent. Rentes, which cost 8,103,022 f. 80c., the average price being 78 per cent. The Journal des Debats contains a long article in which it declares itself in favour of the cause of re form in Italy, and expresses its astonishment that while such persons as M. Guizot and M. Rossiare, the directors of the policy of France, in regard to the Italian affairs, there could have been any doubt as to the liberality of the views taken by the French Government upon that subject. The Debats calls upon the Italians to repudiate the wild ideas of the ultra-Liberals in other countries in Europe, and to trust to their own good sense and the enlightened feelings of their rulers for safe and moderate reform. Had this been the first time the Dibats had spoken out upon the march of affairs in Italy, the article in e o ur t t wt questionfallacious tdi mightng somebe symptoms pretty n satisfactory, o f iinsin cerity. ns c The Debats applies to Italy the specious b cious doctrines of M. Guizot with respect i :t . l h l s to France. In his speech to the electors of Lisieux, M. Guizot told his constituents that " every party in France could promise them reform, but that the Conservatives were the only party to give it," and he followed up that speech by declar ing, in answer to M. Duvergier's speech in favour of electoral reform, that reform of any kind was not required, and that he, for one, would not con sent to its being granted. In the same way the Debats declares itself, in the abstract, in favour of reform in Italy ; but it tells the Italians not to take their notions of reform from reformers, but from the absolute governments, which are the instruments of oppression of which they complain. The Deb a t s well knows that as long as people look to such sources for amelioration there is no great danger of the reformers being alarmingly extensive. We should be glad to see some surer signs of the kindly feelings of the French Government in favour of the liberal tendencies of Italy than the mere verbal assurance of the Debats. We cannot help suspecting that the same policy which has induced M. Guizot to interfere so unfairly and so unwar rantably in the affairs of liberal Switzerland, will, on the first favourable occasion that offers, be car ried out in regard to the Italian Liberals also. In no one of the countries in which the influence of France is felt, has M. Guizot hitherto exercised it for any than the narrowest, the most illiberal, and the most egotistical of motives, and we see no reason why Italy should be an exception to all the other cases. We shall, therefore, withhold our full confi dence in the fine words of the Debats till we find them supported by acts. The Presse, in a long article of seven columns, justi fies its present opposition to M. Guizoz on the ground that " The intoxication of success leads to the abuse of power, and the abuse of power leads to its destruction. To wish to govern without ideas is the most chimerical of undertaki ngs and the most dang erous of ex p eriments. Rather th an not dare to effect any change it is better that a free Government should dare too much. The danger would be less, for none is greater than to leave minds and bodies unoccupied, and minds still more than bodies. The Government exists solely by its works. It they are great, the Government will be strong and ho noured. If they are null, it will be feeble and contemp tible. The G ove rnment which attempts nothing is nut a Government. Every influence, every prestige, every authority abandons it. It exis:s only in name. An ex perience of seven years has proved that the force of a Ministry is nut in proportion with its duration. The duration is not sufficient. We should not wait until the: conclusive of a reign, WhiPLI serious events may surprise us. If during 17 years our Ministers had accomplished all that a vigilant Government could have done for our ts, e .sh:11,1 not have experienced a d.rfi cient harvest twice in succession, and we might have supplied the English market, opened by Sir R thert Peel, for the free importation of provisions." Fine words ! fine words ! but it is somewhat re markable that this discovery of the inefficiency of the Guizot Ministry should not have been made by M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN until M. GUIZOT had refused to make M. DE GIRARDIN'S father a Peer. Neverthe le:ss we do not for onv roomer' express a doubt of the truth of the assertions of M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN, as regards the Alinistry, neither do we doubt the truth of all that MM. GUIZOT and DUCIIATEL assert of M. EmtLE DE GIRARDIN. The quarrel is a very pretty quarrel, and affords infinite amusement to those who watch its progress. The Triton ship of the line, which was lately the flag-ship of Admiral Tunrin in the Levant, arrived in the port of Toulon on the 20th. The Admiral's flag now floats from the Inflexible, 90 guns. The French station in the Levant is thus reduced to one ship of the line and some small vessels. The Pluton steam corvette was about to leave Toulon, to join the squadron of the Prince DE JOINVILLE on the coast of Italy. A letter from Lorient, quoted by the Constitu tionnel, states that the ship Bayard, and the frigates Jean d'Arc and Vengeance, would be shortly launched in that harbour. Those ships are to Le re placed on the stocks by the frigates Dryade, Ceres, and Pallas. Orders had been, besides, received at Lorient to construct a floating battery, to be called Le Protecteur ; a steam corvette, the Tisiphone, of 30 guns ; a sailing corvette, the Thisbe, of 30 guns ; and a brig, Le Chasseur, of 20 guns. The municipality of Paris has abolished the octroi duty on hops. Duke DE SAN LORENZO ET DEL PARQUE, Grandee of Spain, ex-Captain of the Body Guard of the Queen of SPAIN, arrived at Bordeaux on the 23d, from Madrid. M. GONZALEZ BRAVO, formerly Pre sident of the Council of Ministers, also arrived there on the same day, with his family. The price of flour fell, on Saturday, in Paris, to 58f. 45c. per sack of 157 kilogrammes ; that of wheat, in the markets adjoining that capital, varied from 26f. to 301: per hectolitre, which presented a diminution of 30 per cent. since two months. At Epinal the price of wheat had declined to 30f. per hectolitre; at Chalons and Troyes, to 27f. and 25f. ; at Toulouse, to 20f. and 22f. ; at Bergerac, to 21f. and 23f.; at Bordeaux, 22f. to 25f.; and at Nantes, 26f. to 28f. The Reforme states that the price of the first quality bread would be reduced in Paris, on the Ist of August, by five centimes per kilogramme, and fixed at 50 centimes per kilogramme. On Sunday morning very heavy rain set in at Paris, and continued without intermission during the whole of Sunday night, and up to the hour of post on Monday. It was greatly apprehended that the crops would be injured if it should continue for any time. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Monday, at 77f.

We regret to announce the decease of John Walter, Esq., of Bearwood, Berks, principal pro prietor of the Times newspaper. This melancholy event took place at two o'clock this morning, at the town residence of the deceased gentleman in Printing House-square. The disease to which Mr. Walter fell a victim was cancer of the neck. DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT to BURN A WHOLE FAMILY.—(THIS DAY.) One of the most cold-blooded attempts to destroy a whole family that has probably ever been made, was tried this morning, shortly after twelve o'clock, and there is no doubt if it had not been for the providential discovery that was made, every person in the house would have been burned to death. The following are the particulars connected with this horrible affair :—lt appears that a waterman named Maxwell, with his wife and family, have resided for some time past in Love-lane, Rotherhithe. The family retired to bed at their usual hour last night, but at the time before stated, Maxwell was aroused from his slum bers by a strange noise in the lower part of the build ing. He immediately got up, and on getting about half way down stairs, he smelt fire very strongly. He went back and informed bis wife that he thought the house was wrapped in flames, at the same time telling her to get up and arouse the other inmates, whilst he went below to ascertain if what he imagined was correct or not. The moment Maxwell got to the foot of the stairs, he was met by a young man, who, armed with a heavy hatchet, struck him on the back of the head with such violence as to knock him on to the floor, after which he inflicted another blow on the head of the poor man. The family, hearing the man fall, ran down to learn the cause, and the villain, seeing the people moving, rushed through one of the back doors, and succeeded in effecting a safe escape. In the confusion of the moment the residents forgot that their first cause of alarm was the outbreak of fire, and it was not until a dense body of smoke issued from one of the lower rooms, that they became aware that the place had been fired. When they entered the apartment in question they found that a bottle of spirits of turpentine had been set on fire in the cupboard, and that the flames were extending. By the timely assistance afforded, the fire was happily soon put out. Everything that humanity or surgical skill can devise has been done for Mr. Maxwell, but it is to be regretted that he lies in a very precarious state. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.

LONDON SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF YOUNG FEMALES. —The twelfth annual meeting of this society took place last evening at the Hall of Commerce. In the absence of one of the vice-patrons, who was to have presided, the chair was occupied by William Ar thurs, Esq. The report for the last year was read by the secretary. It detailed the operations of the charity in all its departments. It appeared that the funds had increased 3501. over the receipt of the previous year, the income being 2,3351. ss. ld. Altogether the financial affairs of the institution were in a satisfactory condition, there being a balance upon the year's accounts in the hands of the treasurer of 181 During the year 26 infa mous houses had been suppressed m the metropolis, making 221 in the whole; among them that of Madame de Souza, of Grafton -street, Fitzroy-square. The house kept by this woman had the appearance of being a fashionable dressmaker's and milliner's, but was in reality a brothel of the worst description. Every strata gem was employed to defeat the prosecution, but without effect. She pleaded guilty, and was bound in her own recognizance and two good and sufficient sureties to ap- pear when called upon forjudgment. Her furniture has been sold, possession of the house given up, and her ini quitous career effectually stopped. Two cases of decoy ing young females from the country were named, in which the poor girls had been restored to their friends, Seventy girls, under fifteen years of age, had been pro vided for in the asylum, making in the whole 434; 12 had been sent to service, or restored to their friends, leaving 70 in the house. It was stated to be the inten tion of the Committee, in ccnsequence of numerous ap plications, to increase the number to 100 during the next year. The report was adopted, the committee and offi cers appointed, and the usual business transacted. The resolutions were moved and seconded by J. Stanfield, Esq., Rev. J. Robinson, one of the secretaries of the London City Mission, the Rev. Dr. Carlisle, and other gentlemen; after which the meeting separated. CHARING-CROSS HOSPITAL.—The annual general meeting of the Governors of this institution was held yesterday, in the board-room of the hospital, the Dean of Westminster in the chair. Mr. John Robertson, the secretary, read the annual report, from which it appeared that during the past year 9,761 indigent sick persons had been admitted on the books for relief, at a cost of 2,425/. 15s. 1 lid. Of that number, 1,052 were in patients, and 8,709 out-patients. As many as 8,239 patients had been admitted during the past year without any recommendation whatever. The total receipts dur ing the past twelve months were, including a balance in hand, and the sale of Exchequer-bills, 2,4361. 155., and the expenses 2,425/. 15s. 1 lid., thereby leaving in the treasurer's hands a balance of 310/. 19s. OP. The report having been adopted, a series of resolutions in be half of the institution were carried nem eon., including one of thanks to the Rev. Chairman, when the prooeed ina terminated.

Although the arrivals of English Wheat for our market this week have been on a very moderate scale, the show of samples of that grain here to-day was, for a Wednesday, tolerably good, owing to which, the conti nuance of fine weather for the crops, and the large im ports of foreign grain, the trade was excess,vely dull, and, to have effected sales, a further decline in the quo taticns of from is to 2s per quarter must have been submitted to. Foreign Wheat, the supply of which was very groat, was a mere drug, and quite Is. per quarter cheaper. The arrivals this week are nearly 28,000 quarters. Barley was in good supply and heavy demand, on somewhat easier terms. In Malt scarcely a trans action was reported. Oats were the turn lower, but Beans were quite as dear. Peas, Indian Corp, and Flour were certainly cheaper. Wheat. English ...... 1,120 qrs. Irish. • • •. •• .. 570 Foreign •• •• .. 27,210 ARRIVALS. 1 Barley. -- qrs. Oats, Flour. 70 qrs.
