EV ENING EDITION. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (FRIDAY EVENING.) POST.—Spanish Stock fell considerably to-day, the Active Bonds closing heavily at 261 to i ; Portuguese was also lower ; but, otherwise, there was no material varia tion in prices. A. meeting of the committee of Spanish Bondholders was, we understand, held in the course of the day, at their rooms, Old Swan, the object of the members being to take into consideration a statement received through a con fidential channel, as to the actual state of the finances cf Spain. It is rumoured that, accordi Itr 'o this document, the situation of the Christino Government is infinitely worse than the British public have any conception of. Great pains are taken by certain parties to prevent the publica tion of the particulars, but there can be no doubt that the whole will come out in the course of a few days. The committee appear to us to be acting injudiciously in suppressing them at any one's solicitation or suggestion, even for a single hour ; as, by so doing, they lay themselves open to the imputation of favouring jobbing and dishonesty on the part of operators for the account. If, indeed, the finances of the Queen Regent be in the woeful condition they are now repre sented to be, the consequences of the forthcoming expose cannot fail to be very ruinous to the interests of the bond holders. To be somewhat more explicit, we may men tion that it was this afternoon whispered about at the Stock Exchange that the liabilities of Spain amount to a no less formidable sum than two hundred millions ster ling, while the revenue does not exceed five hundred thousand pounds per month, or about half the amount which it has been the practice to put it down at ; so grossly have the official reports upon the subject been fal sified for the purpose of trepanning the French and Eng lish capitalists into further advances of rr ()ley. Shame on the Spanish Government, and shame still more on Those English noblemen who give countenance to their profligacy. TIM E S.—There has bcen an almost total cessation of late even of allusions in the city to the progress making by the Select Committee of the House of Commons on banking affairs, but it may nevertheless be stated, with very little reservation, that the prospects arc good for all those who desire to get rid of monopolies and chartered rights, and to obtain a settlement of the curreecy upon lure and lasting foundations. That the composition of this Committee was, in the outset, much too favourable for one side of the question, was an impression at the time so universal in the city, that the fact was hardly to be dis puted for an instant, of which perhaps the mere admission of the Governor and one of the Directors of the Bask of England, the culprit under accusation, as members of that Committee, would be in itself a suf f icient proof ; but the notion is nevertheless beginning to prevail that the force of truth has proved more powerful than all party ar rangements, and that many converts have been made in the Committee from the opinions with which they entered into the investigation. Further it may be said, that this new light has been obtained from two sources—first, from the strength of the evidence brought before the Committee in the early part of the inquiry against the administration of the Bank—and next, from the defects and the incon sistencies of teat testimony which has been put forward on behalf of the Bank. The Committee have discovered, it seems, to their great astonishment, that authorities " acknowledged to be of great character in 1832 have wholly ceased to be so in 1810, and that tliey have wholly failed in the application of prin ciples which, in the earlier of those two periods, they laid down with the utmost cor,fidence. To prevent misconc-ption it is proper to add, that allusion is here more especially made to the evidence of Mr. John Horsley Palmer, who will he found, when that evi dence appears in print, if the current reports arc only in part authentic, to have damaged his colleagues in a very material degree. Hence arises in some mea sure the great change cf opinion that has come over the Committee, for in the same proportion that the tes timony of Mr. Palmer lost weight, that of the oppo nents of the Bank gained in character. Many re turns, consequently, relating to the affairs of the Bank, which their friends had successfully resisted in the early meetings of the Committee, have since been ordered, and thus the means at least are furnished of cart-) ing, the scrutiny into the affairs of the Bank as far as it ought to go, in order to arrive at the exact truth. It would be improper to name directly the members or the Committee who have undergone the change of opinion adverted to, but there is reason to believe that they are of so much weight and leading character, that unl• 33 a dexterous turn can be given to the inquiry by ad. vocates more expert than Mr. Palmer, the cause of the Bank is in the utmost jeopardy. Mr. Palmer's evidence, it should be observed, has not yet closed, and it is ex pected to last several days longer. The Committee sat on Wednesday last, but have adjourned till Tuesday, Another change has occurred in the value of mo ney, which to-day was very much in demand, and among other causes a very decided action is apparent from the operations of the Bank in sellicg city bonds on the one hand, and issuing their temporary loans on the other. This measure may, therefore, it is con ceived, have important consequences hereafter. There can be no doubt that this realization of assets by the Bank is adopted from the belief of some new pressure at no very distant period, for which they desire to be prepared ; the very loans that they are making assist that immediate object ; but, as all these necessarily terminate under the notice in the middle of next month, the effect of the con traction of the circulation by the tale of the city bonds will only then be perceivable to the full extent. It is un derstood that nearly the whole of that description of secu rity is now disposed of. The chartered companies as well as private individuals have taken them very freely. SUN.—Foreign exchanges were without alteration this afternoon. Bills on Paris were taken at 25f 52 : 1c. to 552. ;on Hamburgh, at 13 9to ; on Amsterdam at 12 2 ; and on Frankfurt at 149; Consols for the opening, ex div,, wrre without altera tion to day, being marked alternately 913 and 911; Ex chequer Bills improved a shade, viz., to 25 and 27 prem., while East India Bonds remained at 4 prem. ; Bank stock rallied to 1761, and the Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were steady at 993 to .

The Brighton have been at 5, the Croydon Trunk at aad the South Eastern 12-1 discount. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS• ( From the Morning Advertiser.) Flimsy as is the representation which the House of Com mous presents of the British people, yet, as the semblance of a body representative of public opinion, we are anxious to see it maintain its duo respect and dignity. It is, there fore, with deep mortification that we refer to the disgrace ful proceeding which interrupted the debate of Thursday night. As has Fe-n seen by our Parliamentary report, Mr. O'Connell, in opposing Lord Stanley's Bill for the dis franchisement of Ireland, was assailed with most indecorous uproar. Having designated the interruption as " b eas tl y ," than which it would be difficult to apply a more appro priate term, Sir S. Canning in the midst of a scene of confusion more suitable to a bear-garden or a cock pit than to the House of Commons, insisted upon the offensive epithet being retracted. Mr. O'Connel', in reply, asked, in reference to the noise which interrupted him, " What sounds were they ? Were they human sounds ? Did you ever hear any other bellowing than beastly ?" The appeal was but too forcible, and, therefore, admitting of no reply, was met only by an exa cerbation of the uproar. The scene was altogether such as to be not only disgraceful to the House of Commons, but, as was avowed by several Members, disgraceful to any assembly of English gentlemen. The Chairman having expressed himself satisfied with Mr. O'Connell's explanation, the matter might have rested with out a further accession to the disgrace of the House, were it not for the most inopportune interference of Sir B. Hall, who, amidst loud Tory cheering, harangued with great acrimony against all " fac tious opposition" to a measure approved of by the House. The Hon. Baronet has gained but little credit by this pro ceeding. However factious may have appeared the oppo sition of Mr. O'Connell, the moss and indecorous manner in which he was assailed on addressing the House, was the subject to which a reproof was most imperatively called for, and Sir Benjamin Hall, in volunteering his censure of a factious opposition when the question was one of common it(h.!ubre," courtesy . and decency, however he may thereby recom mend himself to aristocratic insolence, will acquire but little favour with those who admire fiir discussion, and will not excuse a palpable dereliction of public duty. The sooner the false friends of popular rights take their truc e position the better. (From the Morning Chr onic l e. ) To form an accurate judgmeiit of t h hE machine t s i r o y n . petitions, we must compare the result w e NVere the clergy and the Church unanimous there the wouldeccle siastical be a petition frc,m every parish. Considering authority, and the motives by which this appiecea n - tiou to Parliament has been backed, it would have regarded (except in the case of hostility t o the proposed grant of public money) as a religious duty to p et i t i on. How many of the above number are parochial petitions we have no present means of determining. Suppose they all are, it will then follow that the Church, polled by p a _ riches, is divided in the proportion of four to one against the grant. The real proportion of the non-petitioning parishes is probably six to one. For every single parson wishing for Church Extension, there are seven demanding the repeal of the Corn-laws. Besides, the average of sig. natures indicates that in the petitioning parishes themselves the Extensionists are a minority. The allowance of only eighty-two persons to a parish church proves that an im mense majority of church-going people, interested in reli gious matters generally, have no sympathy for this appli cation to the public purse. The pretended exhibition of strength turns out, therefore, a demonstration of weakness. The petitions for the grant furnish a conclusive argument against the grant. From the Mn Past.) It seems n o w to be quite clear th g at her Majesty's Minis ters in the House of Commons, under the guidance of Lord John Russell, are ready to go any lengths with their eirty and despicable confederates of the Irish tail. We call upon every Euglish gentleman of common spirit to mark by his conduct his disgust at such base and degrading subserviency. How often is Lord Stanley's Bill, for the introduction of honesty into the registration system in Ireland, to be factiously obstructed? Lord John Rus sell, as Sir Robert Peel so clearly pointed out on Thursday night, ha ? made up his mind to go fairly, into Committee after so m any defeats in his attempts to stop the Bill ; but he was in duced to change his mind, and to. continue the obstructi ve this system. Not onlj did he makeh but change, he adopted precisely the policy which Mr. 0 C•i_nnell publicly chilked out for him weeks ago, when he proclaimed to his follow ers in Dublin that the Government had brought forward the English Registration Bill for thwarting and embarrass ing the progress of Lord Stanley's measure. Surely it mnst be apparent to every one who has been accustomed to fair and gentlemanly parliamentary welfare, that the efforts to obstruct Lord Stanley's Bill have been low, Vicky, treacherous, and base to the last degree. They have been quite worthy of Mr. O'Connell ; but in all of them the Government have joined, and have been time after time beaten. _ (From the Morning Herald.) The great object of eur remarks yesterday was to prove the insanity of the prisoner, notwithstanding the opinion to the contrary of Mr. M'Cann, the surgeon to the police face ; and until we ace them satisfactorily answered, we shall continue to think we have adduced strong reasons to show that the national character remains free from the stain of attempted political assassination, inasmuch as the act was that of a monomaniac. On thee conclusion of our remaiks we compared this regicidal at tempt to those of Hatfield and Margaret Nichol. son against the life of George 111., and if we mis take not, Hatfield was as apparently calm and col lected, under examination, after discharging a loaded pistol at the King, in the theatre, as Edward Oxford. But we doubt, and we expressed that doubt yesterday also, that the pistols were loaded with ball. Most assuredly the marks in the brick-wall which were pointed out to us as the marks of the pistol-bullets,:are not anything of the t;aoi if they are, then the prisoner [must have fired ten or a dozen bullets, as any one will see who takes the trouble of walking along the wall towares Hyde Park-corner, for within about 50 yards he will find ten or a dozen such ma ks, all as freshly made—two of which are within about twelve yards of the others. They are all merely chippings of the bricks which boys have been poking with sticks or their fingers (From the Times.) Well might Lord Stanley complain of the obliquity (or something worse) of Mr. Wood's proceeding, when he stated to the House that no effect could follow it but the " hanging up" of his own (the Irish Registration) measure, until Lord John Russell should be pleased to commence, which he need not do this session, the pro gress in Committee of his English Bill, and to terminate that progress, which would be simply never. Such is the disingenuous—such the deceptive manoeuvring, by which a self-named Liberal Government condescends to carry on the business of a mighty nation ! Such the morality to which Lord John Russell—a man formed, and once fitted, for better courses—does not blush to say before the House of Commons that " he shall cer tainly give his support," a declaration which deserves, as it has procured for his Lordship, the applause and grati tude of Mr. Daniel O'Connell. The defeat of Ministers in:this discreditable scheme was as unexpected by them, as it will be gratifying and encouraging to the upright English nation, and is already received by the political world as the auspicious prelude to many forthcoming victories over a host of greedy adventurers, in and out of office. BANBURY-FRIDAY. The intelligence of the attempt upon her Majesty's life, which was made known here by the Second Edition of The Sun, the only paper which brought the information, caused considerable excitement. The Mayor has called a meeting of the inhabitants at six o'clock this evening, to adopt an address of congratulation to her Majesty on her providential escape. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE QUEEN. (From the Liverpool Mercury.) Before this paragraph meets the eyes of our readers, the attempt made on Wednesday evening last, on the lives of the Queen and her Royal husband Prince Albert, will have created one feeling of intense horror and indignation throughout the land. From the accounts which we have extracted from the Morning Papers of yesterday, it will be seen that the whole affair is yet wrapped in mystery, tliough sufficient has transpired to warrant a strong suspi cion that the miscreant Oxford was the tool of others in the work of treason and death. That mystery must be probed to the bottom, and the accomplices of the san guinary ruffian who endeavoured to imbrue his hands in the blood of his youthful and innocent Sovereign—if accomplices he have any—must be traced to their hiding places, and high or low, rich or poor, held up to the scorn and execration of mankind. There appears to be no doubt whatever that the death of her Majesty, or that of her royal consort, one or both, was intended. The marks of the balls on the wall, and their direction, show this, but even if the pistols were loaded only with powder, the effect of such a shock on her Majesty in her present situation was no doubt calculated, and what that effect might have been, or may yet be, will readily be surmised. The ex pected heir of England, whose legitimacy an infamous Tory paper in this town has dared, almost in express terms, to question, might have fallen a sacrifice along with his royal mother, and thus cleared the way to the throne of England for Ernest of Hanover. From such a calamity Providence has, in its mercy, preserved Great Britain and the world. That an attempt should have been made to bring it about can excite surprise in the mind of no man who has paid attention to the fierce rav ings of the Bradshaws and Robys, the Grcggs and M'Neiles, the 7 imes and the Mails, some of whom have denied that the Queen is a Christian,—others asserted thet she has forfeited her right to the throne,—others all but denounced her as a prostitute,—and others quoted Jezebel in such guize that the application, whether intended or not, was made to her. For our own part, we are in no degree surpri-ed at the horrible attempt which has been made on the life of a sovereign so denounced, nor should we be sur prised at its recurrence. But, for the present, until the mystery is unravelled, the treason exposed, and the trai tors discovered, we can only say, from all such attempts may Heaven in its goodness preserve her Majesty ! From all traitors, foreign and domestic, GOD SAVE THE QUEEN! DOVER-FRIDAY. LORD DURIIANI.—Lord Durham continues to improve in health. CRICKET MATCH—FRANCE V ENGLAND.-On Monday and Tuesday last a grand match at cricket was played at the sweet little village of River, near this place, between 11 cricketers from Calais and 11 in the neighbourhood, when the men of River, after a severely contested field, were triumphant, they having seven wickets to go down. The return match is to be played at Calais Downs shortly. Much interest was excited by the match, and not fewer than 3,000 persons were on the ground on the first day. The hand of the 90th enlivened the scene by playing some favourite airs, and the accommodation Mr. Knott, of the " Dublin Man-of War," had provided for the visitors, added much zest to the pleasures of the occasion. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HIPPODROME RACES-FRIDAY. The racing commenced yesterday a little after three o'clock and, in consequence of a dispute as to the qualifications of the proposed gentlemen jockeys for the Scurry and Open Stakes, and hich ended in there being none at all for the former, did not terminate until past seven. The attendance included some of the fashionables present on Wednesday, but was not so name roes as the prolific character of the list had led the proprietor to anticipate. The falling off is doubtless to be attributed to the excited state of the public mind as to the recent attempt on her 3lajesty's life.

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE HER MAJESTY AND PRINCE ALBERT. During the early part of yesterday, police-constable Brown, A 85, who took the prisoner into custody, was en gaged with others in examining the shrubberies in the Royal gardens opposite where the pistols were discharged, with the view of discovering the bullets. Their exertions, however, were unattended with success. The several witnesses who were examined at the Home office on Thursday, have been bound in their own recogni zances to appear and prosecute, in the sum of 2501. Sergeant Otway, as was stated in our paper of yester day, proceeded to Birmingham by the seven o'clock morn ing railway train on Thursday, with private instructions to make such inquiries as might lead to some light being thrown upon this atrocious affair. Mrs. Oxford, the prisoner's mother, who is a respectable and good-looking woman, about forty-four years of age, was staying at a victualling house at Gardiner's-end, Bir mingham, and on hearing of the sad news she became like a maniac. The prisoner, when questioned by the officers, stated that he bad the pistols, sword, and bullets given to him by some party, but ho could not recollect by whom, but this statement is in a material degree contradicted from facts which have subsequently been discovered. Oxford, it appears, was in the habit of frequenting Mr. Green's shooting-gallery, in Leicester-square. His cus tom was to spend one shilling at the gallery upon each visit, and he generally divided that sum in the practice of pistol and rifle-shooting; in the use of the latter, it is stated, he was much more expert than in the former. It was also ascertained for a certainty that upon the occasion of his last visit, he purchased of Mr. Green a dozen pistol bullets, and the officers now have a ball of a corresponding size in their possession. The sword found in the prisoner's chest resembles a sci mitar, and the edges have been recently ground. One important fact that has not yet been published is, that a new mould far casting bullets was discovered at the prisoner's lodgings, and was produced at the Home-office in evidence against him. The letters and treasonable papers found at the same place bear no post mark. Tho rules of the suppose-el society (twelve in number) are of a most treasonable character, and are not printed, but written on two sheets of foolscap, bearing a similar water-mark to the Government paper. It was thought by many that the prisoner had probably written these documents himself, but such can be now positively ,fated not to be the fact, his autograph having been obtained from him, and on comparing it with the other writing, it is found to differ most essentially. Inspectors Pearce, Hughes, and Partridge, with Sergeant Otway and other officers, were last night making every exertion to find out the place where the " Young England Society" was held. About four o'clock yesterday his mother called at the Home-office, accompanied by her daughter, Mrs. Phelps, and the prisoner's uncle, Mr. INlarkwell, the proprietor of the Ship Tavern, Talbot -court, Gracechurch-street. The distressed relatives si , cceeded in obtaining an interview with Mr. Phillips, the Under-Secretary of State, and har ing been privately closeted for some time, he handed her an order for admission to see her son in Newg,,te. The unhappy parent of Oxford states that her husband died about twelve years since, and that during his lifetime he evinced great i rr it a bili t y, w hi c h l e f t litle doubt of the occasional unsoundness of his mind. Upon one occasion, in a fit of excitement, he cut the bedclothes up into shreds, and on another he rode into his sitting-room on horse back. She says that at times she is afflicted with nervous delusions, and she describes her son as an inoffensive and affocConate child, and declares her belief that he com mitted the act in a boyish frolic, and that there were no balls in the pistols at the time. The pistols, she says, he brought home about a month ago, and one morning he held one of them (empty) to her head, and threatened her in a joke, which exceedingly alarmed her. When Oxford descenued the steps of the Home-office on Thursday, after the solemn investigation that had been instituted, he laughed at some girls who were attend ing in the lobby as witnesses, and took off his hat to :hem in triumph. His conduct, however, since he has been in Newgate, has been altogether changed. He has been low, and depressed in spirits, and the Governor and Chaplain, who have been unremitting in their attentions to him, have frequently found him in tears. Upon inquiring the cause of his grief, he is said to have replied, " I know my own life is gone ; and that I care little about; but I am fearful that I shall also sacrifice my mother's." THE FOLLOWING IS THE COPY OF THE COMMITMENT OF OXFORD. [Seal of Office.l " The Right Honourable Henry Constantine Marquis of Normanby, one of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, and Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, &c. &c. These are in her Majesty's name to authorise and re quire you to receive into your custody the body of Edward Oxford, sent you for high treason ; and you are to keep him safe and close until be shall be delivered by due course of law, and for so doing this shall be your warrant. " Given under my hand and seal, at Whitehall, this 11th day of June, in the year of our Lord 1840. (Signed) " NORNIANBY. " To the Keeper of her Majesty's Gaol of Newgate." The orders given by Mr. Cope, the Governor of New gate, to the officers of the prison, were that they should ab stain from putting any questions except such as related to his necessary wants. The only observations that are reported to have fallen from Oxford in reference to his examina tion on Thursday were, that " they (meaning the official authorities) had made quick work of it—that be thought he should have been sent back for another examination ; but, after all, perhaps, it was as well that it was over at once, for they would get no more out of him." At a little after nine o'clock he was locked up in one of the strong cells—those usually allotted to prisoners convicted of ca pital felony, THE KING OF PRUSSIA. The following account of Frederick William the Fourth, who has just ascended the throne of Prussia, ap pears in the Chronicle, from the pen of a Correspondent, who is said to have resided many years in Germany. It will be found fully to corroborate the hurried remarks which appeared in the Evening Edition of The Sun of Friday, written after the arrival of the telegraphic des patch from Paris, announcing the demise of his Royal father, Frederick William the Third. " Frederick William IV., the present King of Prussia, is in his forty-fifth year, of a stout figure and middle sta ture. His countenance is full, and is redeemed from heaviness by a bright eye, whose keen glance indicates that sagacity is the distinguishing feature of his mind. More than commonly versed in ancient and modern litera ture, and an habitual frequenter of the society of men of taste and science from his youth, his opinion has great weight with all who know him ; and the choice of such men as Messrs. Rumohr, Bunsen, Count Stolberg, and others, to whom he has extended his friendship or patron. age, shows his discrimination, and gives an assur ance of his possessing sound judgment. While Prince Royal, he so scrupulously avoided taking a prominent part in public affairs, that while he is known to incline to many of the Conservative notions of the Doc trinaires,' it is still mere matter of surmise whether he shares the opinion that a monarchy based upon moderately popular institutions is the safest. An attempt to draw an expression of opinion from him on the subject of the Co. logne dispute he foiled by giving a public but most in explicit answer ; while an appeal to him as Rector of the University of Konigsberg, when the late Minister Von Al tenstein reprimanded that body for conferring honours upon two of the Gottingen professors, who paid more re gard to their oaths th,n to their places, was not as gra ciously received as had been hoped. In his youth he showed an inclination to smart, and even bitter, repartee, and some sayings of his which were currently reported, procured him the character of a wit rather than of a man of feeling. _ _ " He Chug ascends the throne with the most open field before him that a Monarch could desire, for he is pledged to nothing ; and as no fitting sphere of action was pre sented to the youth, we have to look forward to the actions of the man far the effect of the lessons of the great Nie buhr, of whom he was an assiduous, and always professed himself a grateful scholar. His Majesty has been married since 1823 to Elizabeth Ludovica, a Princess of Bavaria, half-sister to the King of that country, but has no children. The heir presumptive is Prince William, second son to the late Monarch, who is married to a Princess of Saxe Wei mar, by whom he has issue. " The Queen of Prussia is twin sister to the Princess John of Saxony, who has a large family ; while the Queen of Saxony, who is likewise childless, is twin sister to the Archduchess Sophia of Austria, who has had four children. These illustrious ladies thus confirm a fact not unfrequently met with in medical experience, and owing to this circum oance thi, line of succession to two thrones is likely to be changed." . _ (Fro'ili the Quotidienne, a Paris Royalist Journal, of Thursday.) According to all appearances, the death of Frederick William the Third must cause important changes in ques tions relating to the affairs of Europe, not absolute and hurried changes, but a new direction, more free and more decided. The policy of the late King was what is termed a policy of 70 years ago. The new King is in all the vigour of age, and his high intelligence has been cultivated by deep study. As a Prince he was a patron of literature and the arts, and as King will know how to give them his protec tion. Initiated in all the affairs of the kingdom., he has not to undergo his apprenticeship as king. There is no new reign without hopes. We have often expressed the one which we greet with most eagerness ; it is a prompt mo dification in the relations which exist between the Govorn ment and its Catholic subjects. Frederick 'William 111. was greatly in error respecting those questions of religi ous liberty. His successor view& in a different li g h t hi s in terests, and, we shall even say, the duties of the Crown. (ADVERTISE:NU:I.T.

A Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign Officl this afternoon, when nearly all the Ministers were present. We understand the object for which they assembled was to take into consideration the course to be pursued with regard to the Irish Regis tration Bill. On Monday Lord STANLEY, who seems determined to carry out his threat to ob struct public business, is to move that the Bill have priority, and LORD Jortx itussnr.L, as lie properly stated on Friday, is determined to oppose this insolent demand. A trial of strength consequently will take place ; and time is every reason to believe that Ministers will have a majority to support them in carrying on the business of the country. We need not call on Liberal Mem. hers to be at their post on Monday, when a question so essential to the peace of Ireland, and to the preservation of some of the best pro visions of the Irish Reform Bill, is to be decided. Those who are not with Ministers on this trial of strength must be regarded as their enemies, and the en emies also of their own liberal constituents. Both Houses met, as appointed, at half-past one o'clock yesterday, and went in procession up to Buck- ingham Palace, with the Address to her MAJESTY. The Commons went first, and the LORD CHANCEL LOR'S carriage and attendants closed the train. The de scription of the procession and the ceremonies, will be found in other parts of The Sun. Her MAJEsTY's answer to the Address was re ported to both Houses at five o'clock. Several petitions were presented for a l aw t o pre vent goods being carried on cana l s an d ra il ways on Sunday. The petitioners ought to ask for a law to prevent seed growing, or wind from blowing on Sun day. That the petitioners should all go to sleep or sing psalms on that day, nobody, we hope, will object, at least we shall not ; but we do object to their wishes, though Lord NORMAN BY said he had taken the subject into consideration, being made a law for other men. In answer to Lord ROLLE, Viscount MELBOURNE said it was the intention to have a day of thanksgiving for her MAJESTY'S escape. It must be appointed soon, or the national gratitude which is now so lively, and daily prompts the prayers of the people, will have passed away. The emotions of mankind cannot wait for orders.

Viscount MELBOURNE wished them to proceed with it, and the Duke of WELLINGTON pro rosed to postpone it till Friday. The Duke preserved his character of a conqueror, and carried his point by 94 to 68. The Bill was put off, preparatory to its being slain. Their Lordships soon afterwards adjourned. In answer to Mr. MACLEAN, Lord PALMERSTON stated that the negotiations which took place between Admiral DurcrrET and Mr. MAN DEr ILLE a t B uenos Ayres have been referred to the French Government, the determination of which is not yet known. In answer to Col. BAILEY, the Noble Lord said there was no report from Mr. M'GREGOR, relative to the treaty with Naples, to be laid before the House. On the motion for the third reading of the Canada Government Bill, Sir G. SINCLAIR moved that it be put off for six months. Sir R. PEEL, in a long speech, opposed the a mendment, and gave his sup port to the Bill, though he pointed out some altera tions which he thought should be made in it, such as to give greater power to the mercantile interest, to prevent the interest of any new debt from being a charge on the Consolidated Fund, and to prevent drying up re venue by an alienation of land. The Right Hon. Baronet founded, his support of the Bill chiefly on the fact, that it is approved of by the late Governors of the Canadas. Mr. ELLICE objected to the District Councils, which would place an additional taxing power in the hands of Government, but he strenuously supported the Bill. Lard STANLEY did the same, and hoped his Hon. Friend would not divide the House on the third read ing. He also objected to the District Councils. Lord Howicx approved of the District Councils, though be would be ready to support any amendment in the cla use to ma k e t h em com plete. Mr. PAKI NGTON protes t e d against the third reading of the Bill. Lord Jour; RU S SELL vindicated the c l a us es of the Bill compl a i ne d o f , though he admitted they might not be ne cessary, if there were not hi ng to prevent the lo ca l Legislat ure f rom cons i der i ng t h e su bject. The Bill was read a t hi r d t i me by 156 to 6, but it was not passed, as a delay of a day or two is to take pace to gi ve t i me to cons id er th e suggestions of Sir R. PEEL and Mr. ELLICE. The true Protest:ints of the House, amounting, it appears, to just six, thceaten another debate on the question, that the Bill do pos. The House was principally occupied during the IT mainder of the evening, on bringing up the Report ot . e Supply, with a noisy awl lengthy disuu,sFinn about education in Ireland. The grant for that purpose was ultimately carried on a division by 147 to 23. A Second Division took place on the grant to Maynooth, of 8,928/. which was opposed by thirty two Members, consisting principally of those righteous persons who ask 8,000,0001. for the Church of Elg land. It was carried by 121. The remaining votes were agreed to--the other Orders of the Day disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter past One o'Clock. Notwithstanding the all-engrossing interest of the one topic, we cannot omit to take some notice of the proceedings in the Lords on Thursday evening, as to the Corn-laws. The great number of Peers present, and their persisting in the debate under cir cumstances which made all ordinary subjects almost loathsome, are sure signs of the deep interest they are now compelled to take in h, of the fears they cannot avoid, and of their resolve—though how impotent, time will show !—to crush by their lordly votes all the hopes and all the agitation of the suf fering eaters of taxed bread. We felt great pleasure to hear Earl FiTzWIL LIANI 'coldly denounce the Corn-laws, and to hear he Earl of CLARENDON tell the Lords the laws were doomed. These remarks made an impression on their Lordships. They awoke in the Peers the conviction that there is one greater than they are, who loveth justice and will punish the oppres- sor. Their Lordships' own consciences barbed the winged words of the people's advocates, and com pelled one of the most forward and most foolish of our oppressors, whose descent may teach us to ex pect the combined malignity of a STUART with the rapacity of a French courtezan, to form and utter the sure conviction that the manufacturers never will rest till they procure the total abolition of the Corn laws. Why should any Peer jump to such a con clusion if he were thoroughly and undoubtingly convinced that the Corn-laws were both just and expedient, righteous in principle, and beneficial in results ? The Lords are thoroughly conscious that they have scandalously used the legislative power, reposed in them by the people, to enrich them selves ; and they begin to be aware that they cannot maintain the Corn-laws without endangering the whole political frame-work of society. Their con sciences, therefore, fight on our side ; and if we continue to goad them with pointed words, we shall make them do what is just and honest. They are obviously coming round. The motion on Thursday night, was not treated with the haughty contempt with which it was met by the empty-headed Duke of BucK INGIL A m last year. A person of far more knowledge, though crotchety, was called on to answer Earl FiTzwiLLlAm ; and the most astute and specious advocate of the Corn-laws, made a long speech to justify the vote the landlords had determined to give. The Corn-law men were far more respectful, and yet more angry than last year. Their numbers, too, have diminished. In 1839, there voted for Earl FITZWILLIAm's mo t Lion 24, and against it 224 ; on Thursday night the numbers were—for, 42, and against, 194. The majority, therefore, has dwindled from 200 to 152, a prodigious gain in one year on a body so little liable to fluctuation, and so high above all popular influence and all sympathy with the bulk of the people as the House of Peers. The division, therefore, instead of even leaving the question where it is, much less setting it for ever at rest, shows a manifest improvement, and encourages agitation. The crushing vote which the Duke of RICHMOND called for will pass for nothing. It will neither re-assure the agricultu rists, nor satisfy the eaters of taxed bread. Their Lordships' speeches might have some influence, but owing to the late hour at which most of them were delivered, they are very shortly reported. Unless the Noble Lords should therefore favour the world by rushing to the Press, and ap pearing as pamphleteers, almost all the astute fal lacies and laboured comparisons of Lord ASH BURTON and Lord WESTERN will be lost. We shall, on some more fitting occasion, expose such of them as have been treasured up. In the mean time we must inform the Corn-law advocates that the respectable case which the former Mr. BARING made out for them, owing to his feeble voice, could not be, and has not been reported. As far as the speeches of the Anti-Corn-law Peers are concerned, we must leave them to make their own impression on our readers, merely remark ing that Earl FITZWILLIANI told their Lordships some home truths, that the Earl of CLARENDON pointed out with great ingenuity the injurious ef fects of the Corn-laws on the farmers, and that the Earl of RADNOR's formidable facts, marshalled by a vigorous logic, and expressed in forcible though homely English, particularly his complete 'demon stration that the price of corn is not Datilrally much subject to variation in a community like ours, coin. mercially connected with the whole world, was a smasher for the present fallacies of the former Mr. BARING. To the above noblemen, with Lord BROUGHAM, the people owe a debt of gratitude, 1 for braving their class prejudices, and we commend them to the honest and heartfelt approbation of their countrymen. 1 _..._ The Gazette de France of Thursday, which we have received, together with the other Paris journals of the same date, says that a rumour prevails in Paris that the Great Northern Powers have consented, on the re monstrance of England, to evacuate the Republic of Cracow. The Gazette, which is the organ of the Legi timist party, and never loses an opportunity of having a fling at the citizen King and his Government, sneer ingly supposes that France must have gone hand in hand with England in remonstrating, as she likewise signed the Treaty of Vienna. Seriously speaking, we do not in the least doubt the fact, so far as regards the ready co-operation of the French Cabinet. M. THIERS is not indifferent either to the independence of Cracow or the fate of Poland ; and we can readily believe that Lord PALMERSTON found him as willing to co-operate with the British Cabinet as was the Noble Foreign Secretary himself. The following naval intelligence is from the Toulon correspondence of the Commerce of Thursday TOULON, JUNE 7.—A telegraphic despatch yesterday brought news of the speedy departure of the ships of the line. Five of these ships, the Trident, the Genercux, the Triton, the Scipion, and the Jupiter, after having conveyed the troops which aro to embark at Marseilles for Africa, are to go to Brest. It is believed that they will form the squadron which is to go to meet the expedition appointed to bring to France the mortal remains of Napoleon. It is said that this squadron will be under the command of Ad miral Lalande. This officer quits the command of the squadron in the Levant, which is going to be assumed by Admiral Rosamel, who will leave this port with four ships of the line, and will therefore have under his command ten ships of the line. Rear-Admiral Delasusse in the Montebello, and Rear- Admiral Cary in the Souyerain, will be under the com mand of Admiral Rosamel.—Eclaireur de la Illediterranee. Tho Castor steam-boat, running from Algiers, arrived at Toulon on the 9th of June. The French Court is to go into mourning for twenty one days, commencing on the 15th instant, for the death of the King of PRUSSIA. The Commerce publishes two letters from General BERTRAND to the Count DE SURVILLIERS (JOSEPH BONAPARTE) with the Count's answer relative to the arms of NAPOLEON. General BERTRAND states that the KING, in the name of the nation, refused to accept the arms of NAPOLEON from any member of the EM PEROR'S family, and that in consequence of his MA ' JESTY'S disapprobation of depositing them in the In valided, he had consented to place them under the care of the KING, with the Crown jewels. Against this arrangement JOSEPH BONAPARTE protests, and claims for the EMPEROR'S family the sole and exclusive right of presenting these arms, not to the KING, but to France. The Commerce sympathising with the illus trious exiles, is not sparing of bitter comments upon the character of the KING, who, on this occasion, displayed a littleness of mind surprising in a man of so much tact and talent. " A Bourbon has nothing to receive from a Bonaparte" was a very silly and very injudicious speech in the mouth of Louts PHILIPPE. The French Commercial Treaties with England, Holland, Spain, and the German Diet, not being signed, cannot be submitt e d t o t h e Ch am b er o f D eput i es this Session. M. TRIERS stated in the Chamber on Wed nesday, that, if duly authorised b} that body, he would cheerfully execute these treaties before the next meet ing of the Legislature, in order to give the country the early benefit of them. We fear the jealousy of the Chamber and the clamour of the monopolists will com bine to frustrate the patriotic views of the Minister. The general railroad discussion was opened on Wed nesday by a speech from M. GALos, who contended that there were no general principles of action laid demon by the Government, which ought to have a settled system ior the regulation of railroads. After M. GA- Los's speech, the debate was adjourned till Thursday. There is no news from Spain in these papers. The Madrid mail is now four clays in arrear, in consequence of BALMASEDA intercepting the road to France. It was reported that CA BRERA had determined upon mak ing a vigorous dash upon the capital ; that being the only project that could keep up the spirits of his fol lowers.

The humble Address of the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in Parlia ment assembled; presented to her Majesty on Friday, June 12, 1840. Thursday, June 11, 1840. Most Gracious Sovereign,—We, jour Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Lords Spiritual and Tem poral, and Commons, in Parliament assembled, beg leave humbly to approach your Majesty's Throne, to express our horror and indignation at the late atrocious and treasonable attempt against your Majesty's sacred Person, and our heartfelt congratulation to your Majesty, and to our country, on your Majesty's happy preservation from so great a danger. We desire to express to your Majesty the deep concern which we feel, at there having been found within your Majesty's dominions a person capable of so flagitious an act; and that we make it our earnest prayer to Almighty God, that he will preserve to us the blessings which we enjoy under your Majesty's just and mild govern ment, and continue to watch ovor a life so justly dear to us. JOHN WILLIAM BIRCH, Dep. Clerk. Parliamentor, Her Majesty's Most Gracious Answer:— " It is with heartfelt satisfaction that I receive upon the present occasion, this Address from both my Houses of Parliament. " I am deeply sensible of the mercy of Divine Providence, to whose continual protection I humbly commend myself, and I trust, that under all trials, I shall find the same consolation and support which I now derive from the loyal and affectionate attachment of my Parliament and my People." It is said the marriage of the son of a Noble Earl, with a lady of great personal as well as wealthy attrac tions, is delayed on account of an objection, amounting to a complete refusal, on the part of his Lordship's family connexions to consent to their union. A difference of religion forms the obstacle, the fair lady professing the Romish faith. A beautiful specimen of the Lacerta Green Lizard, was killed by Mr. A nning, landlord of the Mount Pleasant Inn, Kenton, among the straw in his stables last week ; it is twelve inches long, and the colours are very vivid..—Plymouth Journal. DEATH OF A YOUTH BY DROWNING.—Be tween seven and eight o'clock this morning, as police con stable 183 S, was proceeding on duty along the towing-path of the Regent's Canal, near to Meetwater-bridge, at the end of Park-street, Camden-town, he observed somethinc , bulky lying in the water, at the distance of about three feet from the shore. On more closely inspecting it, he felt convinced that it was the body of a human being, and in consequence procured the means to get it to land. The body is that of a boy, from twelve to fourteen years of age, very decently dressed, and with a school slate suspended from his neck by a string.
