Preparatory to closirg the Session, and to lighten the labour of her MAJESTY this day, the Royal Assent was last nig,ht:given by Commission to a great number of Biils, for the names of which we must refer to our report. The Coal Duty Bill was re .d a second time, committed, and ordered to be read a third time this day. Several petitions were presented, chiefly by the Bishop of LONDON, and amongst -them was one .for the suppression of the attendance of soldiers on idolatrous worship, on which subject the Right Rev. Prelate moved for several returns. We have elsewhere adverted to something the Right Rev. Prelate said, and shall only add here that he praised the Government for its exertions in giving effect to the prayers of such petitions formerly pre sented, in the Presidency of Bengal, but blamed it for not being equally imperative and successful in the Presidency of Madras. Viscount MELBOURNE satisfied the Right Rev. Prelate that the Government had acted judiciously, and that the reason why it could not proceed so rapidly in the Presidency of Madras as in that of Bengal, was that in the latter there were comparatively few nominally independent Princes, a id few endowed pagodas, while in the former they were numerous, and they could not be slighted nor suppressed without departing from policy to which, with statesmen, Christianity is generally subservient. The Right Rev. Prelate was gratified by the explanation, and withdrew his motion. The Right Rev. Prelate afterwards presented a petition against the employment of Counsel to eefend felons , and , hi nting very signifi cant l y at COURVOISIER'S trial, made, a somewhat severe at tack on the Bar, some of the professional pursuits of which he pronounced to be contrary to the word of GoD. Lord BROUGHAM eloquently and somewhat indignantly defended the profession, and maintained that the privileges of Counsel were the privileges of the accused ; that he had Counsel because he could not defend himself ; and that, if Counsel were per mitted to use their discretion as to whom they should defend, the weak, the poor, and the un popular, would soon fall a prey to the powerful,the lid', and the prejudiced ; and the lives, liberties, and property of the people, would not be worth three years' purchase. It is another good sign of the . times to see the two professions falling foul of ei.ch other. The remainder of the evening was occupied with two conferences, in which their Lordships agreed not to nsist on two amen d ments they had made to the. Loan Societies and Joint Stock Banking Companies Bills. In the Commons the business of the next Ses sion was begun by several Members giving notice THEE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 11, 1840 of what they will then do, for which pro- I obstructed all improvement. They are well aware nhetie undertakings we refer to our report. I that the Peerage and the Chutch have yet, and iong had, an overwhAning lAUCFICC on so ciety ; and, according to the Times, the bitter re sults are as follow : isv..cr to I ie d,d that an intention existed of making alterations in the present regulations as to R ichmc nd Park. There is one characteristic of the present state of society in England which is peculiarly alarming, and peculiarly characteristic of the artificial state—it is the separation of the d`•fferent classes from one another. The connexion, such as it is, is all mechanical. There is a want of that close and intimate union through which alone can operate and exist the principle and energy of A new writ was issued for Clonmel, in the room of Mr. PIGOT, appointed Attorney-General for Ireland. The Lords' amendments to the Loan Societies Bill, and to the Joint Stock Banking Companies Bill, were considered and disagreed to, a decision to which their Lordships, after a conference, con formed. life. The characte:istic feature of society at present is disunion. The upper classes are separated from the middle and lower ; the richer from the poorer ; the customer maintains little or no fellowship or com munication with the tradesman, the journeyman me, chunic with the master worktnao or manufacturer, the labourer with his employer. Even family ties and affections are broken up among the labouring classes themselves. Every one looks abroad, and is proud to boast himself rather to be a citizen of the world than a member of a family ; and the only link and bond between man and man, between beings endowed by nature %.ith social passions, and feelings, and interests. and affec tions, is " cash payment." Attraction outwards, say the philosophers, is the same as repulsion from the centre, and tends in equal degree to destroy the prin ciple of cohesion. The attraction to public life and public interests, the devotion to politics which men are taught is a duty, draws people away from their families, frum domestic tics and du ties, from their private affairs also, and business, and loosens all the more intimate and finer links wherein resides vital action. The present prevailing principle, and greatly growing principle, is—self. It is self in morals, and self-interest, and util ty. It is self in political economy ; and the best thing in the world is said to be our own interest, and every one for himself. It is self in religion ; and personal experience and holi ness are set up as if instead of all our duties to one an other. Thus self is rife and operative in all the parts of the system, and though little societies are formed here and there and everywhere for the fulfilment of dif ferent and opposing selfish purposes, yet the social principle is extinct as regards the whole community ; the country has lost its public spirit, its patriotism, its unity, its identity, and has, as it were, forgotten itself. To that condition have the selfishness of the aristocracy, who have trampled on right and justice to fill their own pockets, and the selfishness of tlie priesthood, who have prostituted religion to the same end, brought society. We are pleased to be able to strengthen our opinion by the authority of the Times. In another point our Contemporary agrees The House sat till Seven o'Clock. So ends, except the formality of a dismission, the Session of 1840. The Bishop of LONDON, who is an eloquent man, pointed out last night, in very forcible lan guage, the extreme hardship of making Christian soldiers in India attend the ceremonies of an idola trous worship. He even spoke for the Nlahomedan and Hindoo soldiers, and pleaded most eloquently in their behalf the cause of perfect toleration. He would on no account have the Government exert its authority to constrain either or any party ; he it.- sisted that it was the duty of Government merely to maintain the peace between different sects, and to force the conscience of no man, whether he be Christian or idolater. The observations of the Right Rev. Prelate did him great honour, and were heard with great plea sure. But we want to know why the same prin ciples should not be applied to Christians at home ? If it be, as the Right Rev. Prelate stated, highly improper to force a Mahomedan or a Christian sol dier to attend the ceremonies of the idolatrous Hin doos, what makes it otherwise than highly im proper to compel JOHN THOROGOOD not merely to attend ceremonies which he ab hors, but to pay for their performance ? If the warm-hearted religious people of this empire deem it a sacred duty to petition Parliament to keep all soldiers away from religious ceremonies in which they have no faith, surely it must be their duty not to farce their own countrymen at home to pay for a religion they disapprove of, or shut them up in gaol if they act on the principle which is considered honourable in Mahomedans and Hin does ? Such, however, are the contradictions of human nature that the very same persons who petition Parliament to remove all constraint from soldiers in India, and from the Hindoos and Maho medans, fiercely contend for the propriety of keep ing THOROGOOD in gaol because he will not throw golden incense on their own altars. By the instru mentality of the very Prelate who last night spoke so eloquently in favour of complete toleration, and by his Court, is THOROGOOD kept in prison be cause he would not pay for the religious ceremonies of the Church, which he regards, probably, with as much dislike as any Christian regards the worship of JUGGERNAUT. The Bishop who ob jects to allowing soldiers to attend the religious ceremonies of the Hindoos, incarcerates a fellow- Christian for not paying for the ceremonies of the Church of England. Whence arises this extraordinary difference— this deference to the religious prejudices of idolaters, and this intolerance of the prejudices of Christians —this tenderness for the rights of men in India, and this disregard of the same rights at Chelmsford ? It springs, we apprehend, from two causes. First, the affair between the Christian soldiers and between the Hindoos and the Mahomedans is no personal concern of the Bishop's. His own piide is not assailed. There is no opposition to his dog mas. He decides the question like a calm Judge ; or rather his followers are the suffering and injured party, and he pleads his own cause. Christian sol diers are forced to attend Hindoo ceremonies—his soul sees at once the injustice of the compulsion. Secondly, brother Christians at home dispute the validity of the Bishop's faith, and both offend his pride and frighten him with doubts of the saving efficacy of his own creed. They assert that something in which the Bishop believes is not true, and they must be punished as a homage to his pride, and be compelled by penalties to acknowledge the superiority of his faith, in order to still his own fearful doubts. The personal apprehensions and the personal arro gance of Churchmen, induce them, with the Bishop' of LONDON at their head, to inflict penalties on THOROGOOD, and impose constraint on Dissent ers, which they severely condemn in cases where their feelings are not concerned. The Bishop of LONDON has charity for the idolaters, but the Dissenters lie esteems to be wilfully blind. The idolatry of the Hindoos and the creed of the Mussulmans are false, and, therefore, men may be praised who refuse to follow them ; but Church-of-Englandism, say the Bishops, is the one sole truth, and therefore men must be compelled to do homage to it. The Bishops with eight or ten million followers are exclusively right, and hun dreds of millions of Hindoos and Mahomedans, with all the rest of mankind, are, and ever have been, wrong. Those only are to be saved who believe as the Anglican Bishops believe. They are, therefore, the elect, and the many millions of GoD's creatures who have never known, or never believed, Church-of-Englandism, are to be eterna:ly damned. What uncharitable. ness, what an unworthy representation of the all wise, all-knowing, all-embracing GOD 1 . If there were no other reason for doubting the goodness and the truth of Church-of-Englandism than this hypocritical pleading for foreigners, and this con demnation of brethren—the narrowing of the AL MIGHTY'S paternal goodness to such a s.nall section of His great creation would be sufficient to make us discard Church-of Englandism as wholly un worthy of the ALMIGHTY ; but when we know that the Bishop of LONDON and the rest of the Bishops, are bribed by large incomes —incomes of 20,0001. 15,0001., 10,0001., or 6,0001. a year— to maintain that it is the sole truth, we not only re fuse to a,cknowledge it, but feel unbounded astonish.. ment that any person should put faith in such in congruous and interested assertions. We listened last night with great pleasure to the Bishop of LONDON, but we must apprise him and the petitioners against forcing English soldiers to attend, as guards of the Rajahs, at idolatrous festi vals, that there is not one word of their arguments and their petitions which does not apply to the case of JOHN THOROGOOD, and to compelling the Dis sentients to pay Church-rates. The only differ ence is, that the Bishop and the Churchmen arro gantly assert of their creed, that it is the one truth, while they believe that the idolatry they object to is one of many false faiths. with us. He says, " Whatever the general course of society may he at present, one thing is certain— that the current is most rapid." We have over and over again used this argument against those who insist on holding on ancient institutions which are no longer suitable to the circumstances of society, while, between the two, the discrepancy is every day becoming more frightfully great. In that passage the Times re cognizes the great truth that society ultimately gives the law to the pretended law-givers, and com pels them, :,hough they may make it traverse a de vious and painful course, in the end to follow it. If such, however, be the case, why does not the Times counsel its Conservative patrons to study the course and tendency of society, and to adapt their laws to it, instead of perpetually striving to thwart it, and make it conform to their unfounded theories ? Why does it not expose the folly of the Tories, setting up in their own minds a model of what society ought to 's,e, a sort of normal idea of a perfect community, to which they endeavour, by all kinds of tortures, to make society conform ? Why does it not disabuse its patrons of that petty FENELmi-like notion which they yet entertain, that they can chalk out the rights and duties of men, and make them virtuous and happy by numerous enactments, while, at the same time, they declare that,' in their state of probation, happi ness and virtue cannot be the lot of mankind ? The Times does this in some cases. Yesterday, following out its plan of warning the public " against " the insolent contempt of justice " dis played by the aristocracy, in their eternal meddling with the rest of the community, as if they, for sooth, were the guardian angels of mankind, afflicted with none of the weaknesses or vices of ordinary men, it dealt the philanthropic-mongers, who exercise legislation to gratify their yearnings after a sensation, some heavy blows. It said, con demning both the old system and the new— We admit that the present system of committing young prisoners (aye, and old prisoners too) to our common gaols before trial, is a system of gross injustice, directly opposed to the principle of law, which pre sumes a man to be innocent, for all penal purposes, till his guilt is proved—a system of gross and degrading moral contamination, especially to the young. We will go further than Sir Eardley 'Wilmot, and say that great. evils have been found by experience to arise from committing young offenders, even after conviction, to those receptacles of iniquity. The whole subject is well deserving of a much more extended inquiry, a much more serious consideration from the Legislature, than Sir Eardley Wilmot has succeeded in obtaining from it. Sir E. WILMOT has proposed as a remedy for the moral contamination caused by the lawmaker, — treating the peccadilloes of children as if they were grave moral offences, and so prohibiting a youth from ever retrieving any of the errors to which all youth are liable,—a system of summary punish ment, which the Times shows to be as full of vice as the present system. It adds— Summary conviction is too apt to be conviction with out law or justice, without legal evidence or dispassion ate inquiry. Our children of tender age are as much entitled to law and justice as ourselves, and we have no right, under pretence of saving them from moral con tamination, to leave their characters, their limbs, and their liberty, upon any accusation, however frivolous or however false, to the tender mercies of two Justices of the Peace. The motel contamination is of our own creating ; we must remove it at our own expen_e, and not by curtailing their rights, or the rights (in them) of their parents. We will quote one short passage more, as a con firmation of a remark we yesterday made, that the aristocracy, even in their benevolence, show an " insolent contempt for justice":— " We believe," said the Times, " that Sir Eardley Wilmot is an honourable and benevolent man, and that this Bill was introduced with benevolent intentions. We sympathise with his intentions, while wti protest against his legislation." The Times properly regards the legislation, like almost all the Acts passed at the instance of the aris tocracy in relation to the humbler classes, to be based on injustice. So do we, and we rejoice to find the Times knocking down with its club the supports of its own party. It promises further investigation ; let it be warned in time. It cannot carry on such investigations without becoming anti- Tory. Toryism and philosophy, Toryism arid in quiry, are the enemies of each other ; and the Times must either cease to be Tory, or it must give up the glorious privilege of thinking, inquiring, and in vestigating social phenomena. We regret exceedingly that Lord JOHN RUS SELL should have assented to the amendments made by the Lords in the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill. The Bill was introduced for the express pur pose of liberating a man who, for non-payment of a religious tax of five and sixpence, which he could not conscientiously pay, has been imprisoned during a period of twenty months. It is perfectly clear to every person gifted with the smallest modicum of understanding, that a man who prefers the loss of liberty to the payment of five and sixpence, will never compound for freedom by paying seventy-five pounds. Yet this is what that sapient legislator the Earl of DEVON, and the dunderheaded Lords who voted for his amendment, expect. " You, JOHN THOROGOOD," they say in effect, " will not, to we obtain know, y pay the few shillings of Church rate o ur liberty, but we have no doubt, when the amount is swelled by the costs in the Ecclesiastical Court to seventy or eighty pounds, you will readily consent to the payment I" Then look to the paltry, as well as clumsy, trick, which this ci-devant Chancery Clerk has had re- The world says that the Times is ready to turn Chartist, but unhappily the Chartists cannot come clown with a sufficient consideration. Its remarks on the case of PUNTER v. GRANTLEY, which we yesterday quoted, were followed up on Saturday by a general view of society, in which nothing flattering for Conservative principles can be traced. We like to borrow arms from our opponents, and therefore we quote, to direct against the party which the Times supports, the following remarks. Our readers will remember that it is the boast of that Journal, and its fellow_ labourers in the Tory cause, that Conservative principles are obtaining the ascendancy in society. Our readers know that these principles have long course to in order to give the amendment of the Tory Lords a false show of liberality. By the ;1 . to ii c Upr. Tided, that at the end of twelve months' ►mpr►son ment, the captive might be released, if the original rate was under 51., without payment or rate o costs, on the principle that so long a period of im prisonment should be considered as a set off against the pecuniary demand. But No, exclaims the wise man of the west—we will rather have the money and shorten the term of imprison ment by one-half. But what absurdity is this ? If this noodle of a Lord could have seen half an inch before his nose, he would have been aware that he might just as readily have done away with the six months as the twelve, and then the Bill would enact simply that persons in the situa tion of JOHN TIIOROGOOD shall be exempted from promising obedience to the Bishop of the diocese. As the Bill now stands, this is really all the relief which it grants, for all that a " contu macious " person has to do under the law as it stands at present, in order to obtain his release, is to pay the rate and costs, and make a declara tion of future compliance with the Bishop's orders. This Bill is, therefore, to all practical pur poses, a mere nonentity--or, what is worse, a pre tence of granting relief where no relief was intended to be granted. JOHN THOROGOOD, and men of his sturdy principle—we wish there were more of them among the Dissenters—will not stultify them selves by any base compromise. If they make up their minds to go to gaol rather than violate their consciences by paying a Church-rate of trifling amount, they are not very likely to incur this vio lation, by paying it when augmented to an amount which, in all cases, would be a considerable sum of money, and, in many, would probably be beyond the means of the sufferer for conscience sake. Poor THOROGOOD, then, muat still be the victim of Church persecution. Nothing, it is clear, but his life will satisfy his enemies, and we have no doubt whatever, from what we know of the man, that he will cheerfully sacrifice his life rather than depart in the smallest degree from what he considers the line of religious principle, and the path of Chris tian duty. As long as he lives, he has the happi ness to reflect that he is affording to the world, in his own person, a. proof of the inhumanity and un godliness of a State-created system of religion, and that thus his sufferings will, sooner or later, be of signal utility in battering to pieces the anti-Chris tian fabric. France. It presents a grAtn).n b ono,rist to LI articles which during the previous ten days ap peared in the same Journal : " Interrogated by Mr. Hume on the important question which so deeply agitates the political world, Lord Palmer ston expressed himself respecting the French alliance in terms which created universal as well as the most lively satisfaction in the tiJuse of Commons. " Lord Palmerston has declared that the British Govern ment never had the intention of renouncing the French alliance, which he continued to regard as of the highest value, not only for the two countries hut for the prospt , . ity of Etvope, a:A that he had the limiest hope that 0, pr• sent difference would only be temp.,rary, and would le•:d to no hostilities between two nations having such common interests. These fresh assurances of Lord Palmerston will cer tainly be as sincerely received by us as by the English Par liament. If Lord Palmerston had always held the same language we should never have been under tLe painful He cessity of throwing upon his personal responsibility the weight of proceedings and measures in which he passed to have had the greatest share. " However happy we may be again to find in Lord Pal merst-n's language the expression of sentiments which we should have wished had remained always the same, we cannot refrain from saying that we find the sudden change which has manifested itself in his disposition towards another Power very little justified. Lord Palmerston an nounces that Russia abandons the treaty of Uokiar Ske lessi. We say that this treaty has always been a dead letter—this, its bone fide annulation, was the union of the two maritime Powers, France and England; that a year since when Constantinople, without army, without fleet, without Sultan, was menaced by Ibrahim, it was certainly then the time to execute the treaty ; and that Russia shrunk in the presence and under the surveillance of the two united fleets. " It is Lord Palmerston—it is the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Great Britain—who says in Parliament —' The Russian Government has declared spontaneously that we were in error as to the views attributed to her.' Thus for so many years past you have been mistaken, and we have been mistaken I We have misconceived and calumniated together this innocent Russia ! for so many years past that your Parliament, more even than ours, resounded with multiplied protests. Russia suffered patiently, evangelically, these unjust suspicions, that she could have dispelled with one word. However, we do not believe that we have the right to dictate, as the condition of our alliance, enmity towards other Powers. England is free, if she thinks it prudent, to give up her lung and permanent watchfulness of her new ally; we are much less interested therein than she is. As to what regards us, we are entirely disposed to find in the words of Lord Palmerston a certain pledge for the main tenance of peace. It is after numerous and recent com munications between the two Governments—it is in the midst of the universal excitement caused by inevitably bitter discussions—that Lord Palmerston solemnly pro claims his firm conviction that the union of the two oc tions will not be br.ltee. The language of the Minister and the attitude of the Parliament inspire us with an equal conviction. The principal object of the King of the BEL GIANS' present visit to the Court of London is generally supposed to be political. It is not often that King LEOPOLD charges himself with the functions of diplomacy ; but in the abundance of his admiration of two great nations—in the pleni tude of his friendship for the Sovereigns who sway their destinies, so nearly connected with him by the tenderest ties of relationship, he has, it is under stood, undertaken to employ his mediation in re storing the harmony which existed between France and England previous to the signing of the .new Quadruple Treaty for the settlement of the Turco- Egyptian Question. A worthier accomplisher of so truly laudable and exalted an object of Royal ambition, than King LEOPOLD, could not be found in Europe ; and, whether successful or otherwise, his Majesty will not the less merit the gratitude of the friends of peace. Did the matter in dispute rest entirely with the French and English Sovereigns, no shadow of doubt could be entertained as to the result. The mediation of the King of the BEI, GIANS would not even be necessary to restore a con fidence in the long continuance of a friendly alliance between the two countries. But rumour represents the King of the FRENCH as powerless in the hands of a Minister who stands irrevocably pledged to support MEHEMET ALI'S claim for the possession of Syria. It is now, in fact, whispered, that when out of office M. THIERS was rash enough to make promises to the VICEROY which he can now only perform by provoking a war with the Great Powers of Europe. To these pledges of support neither the French King nor the French people are parties, and were M. TIIIERS out of office, the next Government would find it self in a condition to adopt freely the policy of the Four Powers. But this is a consummation, how ever " devoutly to be wished," to which it would be in vain to look forward with any degree of con fidence. M. THIER S is now fairly in the saddle, and, we believe, may def out of it. His v o l untary retirement from off i ce for a few months is a y the sacrifice which h Court ch toF France a t throw ww ould i i e h e e t ra fr l om sym h p is a p th a i t e r s io ; ti h s u m t , 14 a .o nd fo a a l r l Europe right from t o h s e ex l: even he pants for the glory of directing a great military movement which shall hereafter associate his memory with the laurels of national conquestE He has it now m his power to adopt a nobler course, and to arrive at a more glorious pre-emi nence. The day is not distant when the triumphs of the sword will be darkly recorded in the annals of civilized nations ; and when to have spared the effusion of one drop of blood, will confer more real glory upon statesmen, than to have waded chin deep in the gore of prostrate nations. Public opinion in France was already considerably al layed in its anxiety. Several Ministerial journals have an nounced the receipt of pacific despatches from the British Government. We hope that these happy signs will be further confirmed, and we believe that Lord Palnaerston's declaration cannot but contribute to calm definitively the public mind." Amongst the most important rumours afloat in Paris on Sunday, was one to the effect that M. TIIIERS will be forced to resign office to make way for the pacific adjustment of the Eastern Question. It is curious that we should have suggested such a course as the only means of overcoming a difficulty seemingly otherwise insurmountable. The KING, it is said, is greatly displeased with the hostile tone assu►: - med by the President of the Council towards England. Of general news the Paris Papers of Sunday are quite barren. Orders have just been given at Cherbourg, to arm im mediately the new ship of the line, the Friedland, of 120 guns, and the frigates La Refine Blanche and Calypso, each of 60 guns. A Icvy of 2,000 seamen has just been ordered in the first maritime arrondissement. —Journal du Havre. It appears that the idea of convoking the Court of Peers for the trial of M. Louis Bonaparte has been given up, and that a jury will have to decide on the fate of the persons accused. A letter from Douay, dated the 7th of August. to the Gazette des Tribunaux, states that the news of the landing of Louis Bonaparte was sent that morning to Douay (Boulogne is subject to the jurisdiction of the Tri- bunalat Douay). The letter gives some details of the proceedings of the Triounal, which met on the occasion, and decided that, by An. 235 of the Code d'lnstruction Criminelle, the cognizance of the affair belonged to it. " It is, then," says the letter before the Court of Assize of the Pas de Calais, " that Louis Bonaparte and his ac complices will have to appear if the ordinary course of jus tice is followed." The number of persons arrested at Paris was eight ; three, against whom no charge appeared, were set at li. berty yesterday. Among those who remained in custody are Macrame Salvage de Faderolles, formerly Lady of Ho nour to Queen Hortensia, who arrived lately from London, and Mr. Bacchiocci, Chamberlain to the King of Wurtem berg.—Gazette des Tribunaux, The Capitole announces that Madame Salvage has been set at liberty. The Arniorican of Brest of the 6th says—The Ministry has just given orders here immediately to re-arm the large fr;gates, Didon, Minerve, Nereide, and Cleopatre, and to ascertain the condition of the other fiigates, Venes, An drornede, Asie, and Africaine, that the latter may be like. wise made lit for sea. The Ministry orders these operations with the greatest activity to purchase the articles wanted, and to increase the number of the workmen. —Le Constitutionnel. NAVAL PREPARATIONS OF RUSSIA.—" The energy," says the German Frankfort Journal of the 7th, " with which the Cz r has declared that he would pacify the East, in conformity with the treaty of the 15th of July, is spoken of with enthusiasm in the Berlin political salons. It is worthy of remark, that Russia has already made all the necessary preparations to execute the plan of pacification, whilst England has as yet taken no active measure in this respect. Every means of transport for the grand southern army is ready; it will be commanded by Prince Paske witsch, with whom will be associated, it is said, a Prince of the Imperial Family. Seventy-two vessels of war, in cluding thirty ships of the line, and about fcrty frigates, corvettes, and schooners, are cruising in the Baltic." ALEXANDRIA, JULY 17.—M. Perier, who is sent on an extraordinary mission to Mehemet Ali, arrived on the 15th, and, with M. Cochelet, hada conference with the Pacha, which lasted three hours. The utmost secrecy was observed on both sides, but it is thought that another attempt will be made at Constantinople, in order to prevail upon the Sultan to come to a direct under standing of peace with the Viceroy. The departure of a steamer from Toulon for Constantinople, at the same time as the Papin for Alexandria, renders that supposition more than probable. The Pacha appears pretty we ll satisfied, which is a presumption that he has certain expec • tations. M. Perier also appears to base some hcpas upon the pacification of Syria, for he expressed a desire for the news to be immediately transmitted to Constantinople. By the next packet I shall have , no do u bt, some interest ing ne ws to communicate to you. The Pacha's packets the Nile and the Haggi Baba will then have returned from Constantinople. On the other hand, all is quiet at Alexandria and at Cairo but the Arabs still display a great animosity against the Europeans, But while we deprecate war as the most dreadful calamity that could now happen to Europe, we are by means prepared to make the concessions de manded by France to avoid it. England cannot, and will not, consent to the' dismemberment of the Turkish empire by conceding Syria to MEHEMET ALI. The Four Powers can and will enforce the fulfil men t o f the Treaty ; and as the provi sions of that Treaty were approved of by the SOULT Cabinet, we still indulge the hope that the President of the Council will see not only the justice, but the expediency, of recommending iVIEHEmET Am to make a virtue of necessity, and anticipate by his concessions the demands of the Great Powers, and the consequent employ ment of force on their part. Were a hostile struggle to take place, whatever might be the fate of France, MEHEMET ALI would be sure to perish. England, at all events, would break the sceptre of his power not only in Syria but in Egypt. Whoever would be the gainer in the long run, the VICEROY would lose all. Not a city in Africa would own him Lord at the close of the conflict. Thi s i s a f a ct which the Parisian friends of the PA CHA oug ht to weigh well before madly goading him into a war which, left to himself, he would have the good sense to avert by timely sub mission. ECCLESIASTICAL DUTIES AND REVENUES BILL.— A return has been made to the House of Commons by the. Treasurer of the Governors of the Bounty of Queen Anne for the augmentation of the maintenance of the Poor Clergy, made in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons, dated 20► h July, 1840, and of an address to her Majesty " of the several canon rit s, prebends, dignities, and other offices now vacant in the several Cathedral and Collegiate Churches in England and Wales, and of any other preferment which under the Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill it is proposed to suppress ; specifying the day and year when the same severally became vacant, together with the amount received on account of each such preferment by the Treasurer of Queen Anne's Bounty." The total number vacant, and to be suppressed, is as follows : Canonries and Prebends residentiary 18 Stalls, four of which are still occupied, but to be suppressed ; Chan cellorships 2 ; Precentorships 4 ; Prebends not residen tiary 66 ; Sinecure Rectories 4. This return includes all the vacancies which have come to the knowledge of the Treasurer, and the total amount of money received is 30,0381. 15s. 9id._ TRICKS OF THE TORIES.—A Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle states that the Tories have been extremely busy in endeavouring to stir up the agitation against Lord Palmerston. There is some truth in this, and a Tory gentleman who has been a candidate to re present a populous and thriving manufacturing town, is known to take the lead in it. Another person, who is forward in the work, is a disappointed diplomatist, who is distrusted for his treachery, and is not distinguished for his modesty. But, besides the Tories, the agents of France aro said to have laboured in the same work. It is not creditable to the Tories that they have com bined with foreigners to injure their country. But what politicians will do under feelings of disappointment, is very difficult to say. They are subject to monomania, like Oxford, or any other vanity-inflated fool, and, un der it s i n fl uence , w ill p l ay pran k s o f w hi c h th e y will be heartily ashamed should they ever recover their senses. The Madrid journals which have arrived are of the 2d inst. They contain no news of any inte rest. Some riots took place at Murcia as soon as the events at Barcelona became known there, but they were quickly suppressed. On the Ist inst., at Madrid, 33 bargains in e New Fives, to the amount of 13 600 000 reels, were done at 27 t-16 for cash, and 271 fur 60 days. Exchange upon London, 90 days, 384• The Paris Papers of Sunday devote the whole of their columns to details of the insane attempt of Prince Louis NAPOLEON to revolutionize France. At an early hour that morning, the KING, M. THIERS, and M. DE REMUSAT returned to Paris, and at 12 o'clock a Cabinet Council was held to deliberate u p on t h e cou rse to be taken with re gar d to i th ao e rdoN di p sp A O L Sa N l iE O ß f the T Piince. , s Spee c h on th e O r i enta l Question has g i ven gre at satisfaction to the F renc h press. Peace, we have pleasure in stating, is ag a i n the order of the day in Paris. In the Journal des s FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE —Last night, be tween 11 and 12 o'clock, vehement cries of " Fire " were heard in Milton-crescent, Euston--qua.e, which proceeded from the house occupied by a Mr. Mead, lodginghouse keeper, in that place. The engines belonging to the Well -street, Crown-street, Holborn, and Farringdon-street fire-stations were promptly in attendance; but their s e' , vices were not required, as the damage sustained was con fined' to the back-kitchen, whence the alarm proceeded. A most appalling sight, however, presented itself to their view, being that of the body of a flue young woman, 23 years of age, and daughter of Mr. Mead, not quite dead, but burned almost to a cinder. A blanket was wr a p pe d round her, and she was conveyed to the University Col lege Hospital, but life was found to be quite extinct on her arrival there.

" MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " The state of public business enables me to close this Scssion of Parliament ; and in releasing you from your attendance I have to think you fur the care and attemion with which you have dis charged your important duties. " I continue to receive from Foreign Powers as surances of their friendly disposition, and of their , anxious desire for the maintenance of peace. " I congratulate you upon the termination of the civil war in Spain. The objects for which the quadruple engagements of 1834 were contracted, having now been accomplished, I am in communication with the Queen of Spain, with a view to withdraw the Naval force, which, in pursuance of those engagements, I have hitherto stationed on the northern coast of Spain. " I am happy to inform you that the differences with the Government of Naples, the grounds and causes of which have been laid before you, have been put into a train of adjustment by the friendly mediation of the King of the French. " I rejoice also to acquaint you that the Govern ment of Portugal has made arrangements for satis fying certain just claims of some of my subjects, and for the payment of a sum due to this country, under the stipulations of the Convention of 1827. " I am engaged, in concert with the Emperor of Austria, the King of Prussia, the Emperor of Rus sia, and the Sultan, in measures intended to effect the permanent pacification of the Levant, to main tain the integrity and independence of the Ottoman empire, and thereby to afford additional security for the peace of Europe. " The violent injuries inflicted upon some of my subjects by the cfficers of the Empefor of China, and the indignities offered to an Agent of my Crown, have compelled me to send to the coast ot, China a naval and military force, for the purpose of demanding reparation and redress. " I have gladly given my assent to the Act for the regulation of Municipal Corporations in Ireland. " I trust that the law which you have framed for further carrying into effect the Reports of the Ec clesiastical Commssioncrs will have the beneficial effect of increasing the efficiency of the Established Church, and of better providing for the religious instruction of my people. " I have observed with much saticfaction the re sult of your deliberations on the subject of Canada. It will be my duty to execute the measures which you have adopted in such a manner, as without im pairing the Executive authority, may satisfy the best wishes of my subjects, and provide for the per manent welfare and security of my North American provinces. " The Legislative Bodies of Jamaica have ap plied themselves to the preparation of laws rendered necessary or expedient by the altered state of society. Some of these laws require revision and amendments, bud have every reason to expect cordial assistance from the Assembly of Jamaica, in the salutary work of improving the condition and elevating the character of the inhabitants of that colony. The conduct of the emancipated negroes throughout the West In dies has been remarkable for tranquil obedience to the law, and a peaceable demeanour in all the rela tions of social life. " GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, " I thank you for the Supplies which you have granted for the service of the year. " I lament that it should have been necessary to impose additional burthens upon my people, but I trust that the means which you have adopted for the purpose of meeting the exigencies of the public service are calculated to press with as little severity as possible upon all classes of the community. " MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " In returning to your respective counties, you will resume those duties which you perform so much to the public benefit and advantage. It is my anxious desire to maintain tranquillity at home and peace abroad. To these objects so essentil to the interests of this country, and to the general welfare of mankind, my efforts will be sincerely and unremittingly directed, and feeling assured of your co-operation and support, I humbly rely upon the superintending care and continued protection of Divine Providence." THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—The bodies of the three children of Mr. Sea ward, the Secretary of the Promoter Assurance Office. have not been found, although the river has been dragged in all directions. Placards have been issued giving a de scription of the children, and offering handsome rewards for the recovery of the bodies. We regret to state that Mrs. Seaward is in a very precarious condition, and that the shock occasioned by her immersion in the water and the loss of her children is not unlikely to prove fatal. LEECH LETTERS.— Amongst other strange packages received from London last week in Stamfoid, was a small paper box, consigned to a druggist of the town, which had contained upwards of two hundred leeches. On emptying the letter-bag the postmaster found, to his dis may, that two score of the reptiles had escaped from the box ; some had crept into the letters, and others, aroused from their torpidity by the warmth of the room, were crawling about in all directi ons . It was on ly by a rigour ous search, that he escaped a gratuitous bleeding..—Lin cola Mercury. TEETOTAL TRICK.—On Monday, the 3d inst. Archibale Farquharson, Esq., of Fiuzean, was summarily tried before the Sheriff at Stonchaven, near Aberdeen, for having wickedly and feloniously administered, or caused to be administered, to the members of the total abstinence soiree, held at Banchory Ternan, on the 16th June last, a certain quantity of jalap mixed with a pound of tea, and an ounce and a half of calomel mixed with four pounds of sugar, and which was accompanied with the following note:—" From a well-wisher to the health and prospe rity of the society." The panel pleaded guilty, and was fined 101. On Wednesday, as the morning Midland Counties Railway train from Leicester to Nottingham, was passing near Kegworth, a full-grown partridge rose in the air, when, coming in contact with the chimney of the steam-engine, it Gil dead into the tender. GORAN HAVEN.—On Thursday night last, the drift boats took some fine fish, and a shoal was seen a little outside one of the turns. The wind is now easterly, which will, if it continue to blow fresh, prevent the scans going to sea.— West Briton. CAUTION.—It is important to masters of ves sels, trading to New Orleans, to know the p rov i s i ons o f a recent Act passed by the Legislature of Lousiana, in reference to fugitive slaves. It provides thrt if any slaves are found on board a ship, or any other vessel, without the consent of the owner, it will be presumed that such slaves were received with the intent to transport them out of the State. This presumption will be sustained by the law, whether the slaves were actually transported or not, and the question of concealment will not be entertained. Two witnesses, not employed in the ship, will be necessary to convict the master, who is made responsible to the owner in the sum of five hundred dollars for every slave taken away, or lost, in addition to the value of such slave. Be sides the fine impoied, and the value of the slave, the owners may recover from the proprietors and captains of ships, or other vessels, all damages that may have been sustained. The parties are responsible in person, and the v eE s,l is liable to a lien. —New York Paper. GAME.-..The accounts from the Highlands re present the grouse as rather plentiful; but in some instan ces small, arising from second broods having beers hatched. The partridges have had a good breeding season ; but they are yet far from numerous. We would recommend a farther jubilee this year, and, should the next breeding sea son be favourable, they will, in a great measure, have secured a footing till the next overwhelming snow storm. Hares are in great abundance. We hear that ail the great shootings in this quarter have found tenants ; and, during the last week, there has been a large importation into our town of dogs and guns and everything needful for the eventful 12th.—Aberdeen Herald. POWER OF LOYALTY.-Perhaps the greatest instance of the power of excitement which occurred during the passing of the " hundred-thousand-pounds -a-year" lady through the town, was witnessed in the window of our opposite neighbour Ayrey, where the bonnets, hitt erto headless and unheeding, suddenly became filled with heads, to which were attached pretty faces, and other ap. pendages, in the full glow and vigour of life. When the lioness was gone, the bona( ts again resumed their headless and listless apathy. What a charm must there be in the presence of a Dowager Queen I—Leeds Tunes.
