LONDON: FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1840. Ti.e Bislicrfa of EXETER seems haunted by the Catho liet as if he had done them a great injury. His con seienoe will not allow hies to re.st. Last night, in the House of Lords ho inquired particularly abut an ordi nance respecting the monastery of San Sulpice Canada, but Viscount MELBOURNE could give him no ease. His Lordship had not received the despatch the Right Rev. Prelate inquired about, and San Sulpice will haunt him for some time to come. On the report of the Canai,:a Government Bill being further considered, the Duke of WELLINGTON moved that the commencement of the Act should be postponed for fifteen months. It would have been better to have rejected the Bill. At any rate there is no use whatever in now passing a measure in which circumstances, we may be quite oertain, will make alterations necessary before it comes into operation. More kolish conduct we cannot imagine. It tantalizes the Canadas with a show of freedom which it snatches from their grasp. It must irritate, and cannot redress. Had the Bill passed, the people would immediately have begie to work it out after their own fashion ; tit‘y ' we,uld have found means to mould it to their wants ; but now they cannot act, they must go on suffer in4 under their present constitution, knowing all the wile that at the end of fifteen months they mist begin with another. Lord ELLENBOItOUGH suggested several other amendments, which were not adopted, and after a conversation the Report was agreed to, and the Bill ordarod to be read a third time on Monday. Almost every course which could be taken as to Canada is full of peril ; but we believe the course which the House of Peers has adopted, under the influence of the Duke of WELLINGTON, is the most perilous. It deserves, at the Caine time, to be noticed, that almost the only great measure passed by the Legislature this Session, will be for more than a year a complete nullity. On the motion of the E ar l of Wanwreic, the Re port of Mr. .I)nm:us, concerning the riot last year at Birmingham, and some papers connected with it, were ordered to be laid before the House. The Noble Earl, with a pious disregard of himself and all his brother Warwickshire Magistrates, declared that the safety of Birmingham was owing to a special act of Providence. We hope, since the Almighty has shown such favour to the town of anvils, furnaces, and smoke, that it will be spaPkril by the Corn-law-making landlords, who seem at present inclined to effect that by famine which Provi dence prevented incendiaries from causing by fire. Their Lordships adjourned at a Quarter-past Eight o'Clock. In the Commons, after the presentation of petitions, Sir3J. Liortuntrsz stated, in reply to questions, that a considerabl e sum of the East India Company's fund 3 were spent under the authority of the Secret Committee ; Chat his had promised to lay an account of that expendi ture before the House, and, he believed, that before tl.e Beat Session, a full explanation would be laid before the Directors and before Parliament. Mr. Hosts withdrew hit notice for a Committee to inqui', into the operation of the Corn-law s on wages Hes.tE brought under th e not i ce of the House and and the e...untry the fact which we mentioned two day s ago, that foteign sugar bad been admitted f or home con sumption. The Hon. Member added that this ar was from Cuba and the Brazils, and was therefore slave grown sugar. Mr. LABOUCUEZE admitted that some foreign sugar bad paid duty and been admitted for home consump tion, but whether it was slave or free labour produce he did not know. Most likely it was slave-grown produce, which our present system is likely henceforth to en tonrag:_•. After Lord JOHN RUSSELL had stated that he should take the Supply to-day, and the Constabulary Bill on Monday, the House went into a Committee on the Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill. It again ()eel:Tie( • i •Irn H o use for a considerable part of the - earning, and s everal divisions took place on its clauses, which left the Bill, however, as it was. The Bill went through the Committee, some new clauses were added, and the Report was ordered to be received. On the motion to commit the Poor-law Com m i s . sion Bill, Mr. BUM:OIIGUS moved chit it be an in struction to the Committee to authorize the Guardians of the Pour to afksw widows with faniflies re;is.l out of 1 the poor-house. The motion occupied the House for the remainder of the evening. Mr. BURROUGLIS . motion was lost on s division, by GO to 34, sad the Bill went through a Committe e . The House sat till a Quarter to ftvo.

If the precepts of the Jesuits have descended to the Roman Catholics, their deeds have become the in heritance of their bitter oppcnents. Nor are their precepts unmatchable in the writ , ings of the Ultras. The night before last the Standard laid down the principle that statesmen should do a " little wrong in order to do a great right." The little wrong is acknowledged, the great right is contingent ; it exists only by sup position ; it is the offspring of the imagination ; and with a chance of attaining it the Standard counsels the doing of a little wrong. It does evil which is ceitain, that good may come, which is very doubtful. In fact, the presumption is, as the course of nature is homogeneous and uniform, that moral evil is always the parent of evil, never of good. The little wrong, if not speedily corrected, is sure to become a great wrong. Those who adopt this mode of reasoning, voluntarily depart from the ' landmarks of moral principle, and drift over a boundless ocean, guided only by their own ima ginings. The principles, which the Standard would violate in little, are, at least, in conformity with the most enlarged results of experience. Were they and the results of experience at variance, they would be re jected or modified. If it should be proved by many observations, that theft and murder were beneficial, men would consider theft and murder to be duties. When they now imagine them to be benefi cial, as in taking prizes, and slaying men in battle, they perform them. The Tories, on the subject of oaths in particular, and on many other subjects, when it suits them, insist on a rigid observance of prin ciples; they will not admit of departing from them a hair's-breadth, but when it suits their purpose they give principle to the wind, and avow their readiness to do a " little wrong." The indefinite, shift ing, and immeasurable character of political expe diency—the same class or sect of politicians, for example, at one time lavishly wasting the national resources to aggrandise Russia, and bring her into Western Europe, and at another directing them to repress her growth, which fills them with alarm—makes it necessary that the people should rigidly hold their rulers to the strict ob servance of the moral principles. When they are discarded, what can politicians substitute for them, hut short-sighted ignorance, blind selfishness, and stupid, ruinous wilfulness A Tory paper of yesterday contained a remark able illustration of the foolishness of the " do a little wrong" policy. A writer in the Morning Post said, in an article headed " The Irish Gentry," Ever since we have been acquainted with the modem ` , lstory of Ireland we have considered the " Penal Laws" to have been far more injurious to the Protestant part of the Irish community than to the Papist. The subjoined note from an article in the Dublin Univers'ty Magazine, m the famous, or infamous, George Robert Fitzgerald, more commonly called " Fighting Fitzgerald," is strongly corroborative of this opini.n " The improvement in the manners, habits, and moral conduct of the country gentlemen of Ireland may En. attri uted not only to a better education, a greater diffusion of knowledge, and the wholeorne restraint of public o ; .inion, but also to the great change that has taken place in the character of the Irish clergy. Secure from rivalry, and fearless of scrutiny, under the stringent opera tion of the penal laws, the Estabiisbed Church of Ireland during the last century seemed so to have fallen into in- Meru and useless habits as to have lost her missionary character altogether—her superior clergy, little better than grasping end intriguing politicians, her inferior were but squires, with black coats, nito hunted and caroused, and kept company, where their presence was not coueted sty straint on ish,sphemous or licentious language. And now what a change I We believe Christendom can furnish a more pious, pains-taking, dutiful set of men, than the clergy of the Ecstoblished Church, not only keep. ing aloof from all dissipavel society, but actively enforcing the pure morality that flows from the truths they preach ; they especially attend to the education of the youthful poi tion of their flocks. The consequence is, that a more religicus tone has come over the character of the Protes tant gentry. which is especially observable amongst the fornales. They, as mothers end wives, have called forth a taste for the proprieties:, the elegancies of life, and, what is better, they foster a sense of religious accountabi lity, which should belong to the character of a gentleman snd a landlord. In this nay we assume that the present pene ratica has wonderfully improved on that of the last half century, and see fondly anticipate still happier results in that xhich is to follow. Indeed ti.ink it can with con ti.ler:oe be EISSeI ted that the country gentlemen of Ireland are not now behind tie it equals in Britain, either in morels or manners. The Roman Catholic gentry are unqiestioo a!*, more moral and religi,:.us than were their progenitors; and although there now exists unhappily a mutual repul siveness between them and their Protestant neighbours, arisiag from p , liticel difLrence, made more bitter by reli gious intolerance, yet even this is better than the ungodly community of former days, when the 'squires of bath per suasion; often merged their religious distinctions in the united blasphemies of a Hell-fire Club." This is a distinct admission by a Tory, that the '' little wrong" of the penal laws, of which the Standard was and is a bigoted and immoral advo cate, inflicted a grievous wrong both on the Pro testant clergy and Protestant gentry of Ireland, whose exclusive interests they were made to pro mote. We have it on the united testimony of the Post and Dublin University Magazine, that both these classes have been improved and benefited by the redress of that " little wrong" which they so strenuously resisted. Competition has made them assiduous, gentlemanly, and orderly, while securing to them privileges and dominion by law, only made them negligent, rude, passionate, and brutal. We feel extremely grateful to the Post and the Maga zine for supplying the world with 'this irresistible proof of the injury so long inflicted on Ireland by Tory policy, and the benefit which has been con ferred on the Protestants there by acting on Whig principles, which these very unscrupulous or very stupid journals, nevertheless, habitually revile. ' Since the Tory Post and the Tory Magazine have ' suggested the inference, we may, without giving offence, observe that the essence of justice, as of ex pediency, is, that it is beneficial to the acting agent. The maxim we have quoted from the Standard, thourh reviled when expounded by the Jesuits, and amply refuted by the facts stated in the Post, is unfortunately acted on to a great extent by the Tories. As a body, they are the advocates of the unjust Corn-laws. The best that can be said of them is, that they are a " little wrong." They keep food from the people, and they tax them to put money into the pockets of the landowners. They stop trade with corn-growing countries. This is the avowed " little wrong" they do ; but the Tories, true to their Jesuit creed, assert that they achieve a great ri,u,aht,—that they ultimately increase the supply of corn, and keep the nation indepen dent of foreigners. We know that this as sertion is destitute of truth, that the evil is certain and admitted, and that in this case, as in others, the "little wrong" has been the parent of nothing but a succession of other wrongs. Like the penal laws, the Corn-laws in flict at this moment great and irreparable injury on the very classes they were made to protect. We care not, however, at present, to dilate on this consequence ; we only wish our readers to observe that the Tories and High Churchmen who abuse the Catholics for preaching immorality, openly practise it, and never hesitate, as in the case of the Corn-laws, and a score of others which might be mentioned, were we not limited by space and time, to do the most dishonest, the most corrupt, the most wicked acts when they fancy that doing so will add to their power or their wealth. We repeat if the Roman Catholics have preserved the precepts of the Jesuits, their deeds have become the inherit ance of the High Churchmen and the Tories. We re peat also, fortified as the assertion will now be by these examples, that there is no safe guide for statesmen but justice, and that the people ought to 'flake their legislators rigidly adhere to moral prin ciples. Honesty is not only the best, it is the onl y Policy ; and every man who counsels a depar tre anti a rogue. fraoniitinpolitics, should be regarded as a cheat One of the main arguments used by the worthy re p resent ative of Oxford bigotry, in his late attempt upon the pock e t 3 o f th e p eo ple for Church Extensors money , was the great saving that would he occasioned by a cop i ous out-pouring of the national cash for church-building purposes. This would seem, at first sight, to be a somewhat paradoxical proposition, hut Sir ROBER T INGIS is not easily dismayed by things of that sort. The ing,enuity of the Fright Hon. Baronet is truly marvellous. This is his: argument—" It is quite clear," says he, " that you 11113 t have eith er gao l s or churches nobody will deny that. Neither will anyb o dy d eny that churches are much better than gaols— a ll, therefore, that you have to do, is to lay out p l enty of money in building churches, and you will save ever; farthing of it, and a great deal more in gaols." This profound argumentum ad crumenam, Sir ROP3ERT drove home, and clenched by an appeal to arithmetic, which he no doubt deemed wholly irre sitibie, He showed incontestlbly that, in one • ritE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1840. year, there had been laid out in building and repairing gaols 3,319,0001., without taking into consideration the expences attendant on the main tenance of the inmates, the trial of criminals, the transportation of convicts, &c., which may be estimated at as much more. Now, a great part of this money, he argues, would have been saved if there had been more churches and parsons in the land. We are by no means inclined to take this for granted, and we protest against any outlay of the public money on such fallacious grounds. So far from viewing the enormous expense of our gaols as a reason for giving more money to the clergy, we regard it as a strong ar gument against such a grant. Why is it that we require so much gaol ? How comes it that vice and crime prevail to so alarming a degree, when we have so numerous an army of clergymen spread over the country, for the very purpose of keeping the people virtuous by their teachings and their example ? Can there be a more severe con demnation of the clergy, or a more convincing proof of the utter inefficiency of a State-paid clerical po lice, than the simple fact that so large a sum is ex pended on the punishment of crime ? If the truth were told, it is because the Church is so richly endowed that it is so powerless as an instrument of moral correction. It is not the palace-lodged Bishop, the stall-fed Prebendary, or any other clerical personage, too dignified to mix with the humblest classes of society, that will ever influence those classes for good. The men who expect to reform the morals of the poor must not stand upon the ceremonial observances practised at Oxford or Cambridge. Neither must they be hirelings. Their mind and soul must be in their work. They must not think that their duties are done for the week when they have delivered a drowsy sermon on Sunday. If they have not in them that missionary zeal which keeps them employed at all seasons— which sends them into the cottage, the hovel, and the cellar—wherever, in short, poverty, and misery are to be found, they are not the men for the task of reforming that class of the community from which the great mass of criminals issue. Now, State clergymen are by education and habit, and, in many cases, by birth—such are the conventional regulations of our social state—com pletely incapacitated for missionary labours. T;ley have never succeeded in that capacity abroad, still less can they be expected to succeed at home. Why have the ministers of other sects mo nopolised the instruction of the black population in our colonies, but because the State clergy—the men of Cambridge and Oxford—will not submit to those facrifices without which no good can he accomplished ? They ate men of iefinement, fond of ease, studious of elegance, and have no notion of taking up their cross, at the expense of all that is associated in their minds with the enjoyment of life. It is, therefore, an utter delusion to hope that any check will be given to crime by the multiplica tion—even ad iiffinitum—of such men, especially after the lamentable proofs of their past inefficiency with which the country abounds ; and to tax an already overburdened people, of so many different religious persuasions, for such a purpose, would not only be an act of folly and extravagance, but of the greatest iniquity. The following official news from Paris, which appeared in our Second Edition of last night, con firms the account published in 'Pie Sun of Wcd nesdav, of CABRERA'S flight into France, and the termi!lation of the civil war, which so long deso lated the fairest provinces in Spain. The des patches were received by the French Government on Tuesday evening, and . are quoted from the Hfmiteur of Wednesday : TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES: " The Pr.::Let of the E,tern Pyrenes to the Minister o the Ivterior. " Perpignan, .Irily 6, Half-past Ten, A. NI. " Berga is in the pow:r of the Chri,tinos. Curb) pur sues the faction, 100 of whom entered France this morning, by Osseja. Cabrera, at the head of 4,000 men, is in signt ; he trill probably enter Franca this night." " The Prefect of the Eastern Pyrene;2s to the Minister of the Interior. Pt-rpignan, July 6, Nine, p.m. " Cabrera has just entered France with 5,000 men. " B2lmaseda has .arrived in Faris. The Spanish Governmei:t asked for Cabrera and other Clrli,t chiefs to be given up, but the French Cabinet refused." The refusal of the French Government to give up CABRERA and his colleagues in crime and mis fortune, is only what we were prepared to expect from a nation so tenacious of its honour in all that relates to political refugees. Had the Spanish Go ye! nment, as it was its duty to have done five years ago, passed a sentence of outlawry upon that traitor and his master, not for the crime of treason only, but for murder—for the brutal murder of British and French, as well as Spanish subjects—it would have acquired a right to demand him from the Go vernment of any country in which he might seek shelter. But to the last moment Spain declined adopting such a course, and therefore it is preposte rous to suppose that France would deliver up to cer tain death a wretch who claims shelter as a political refugee. How consistently, from the death of FERDINAND the SEVENTH, we have supported the cause of the QUEEN and Constitution, is well known ; and how emphatically we have denounced the infamous career of CARLOS and his agents in rebellion, and murder is equally familiar to all who have paid the slightest attention to the progress of events in Spain ; and yet were CABRERA, dyed as he is with the innocent blood of our countrymen, to cast himself a refugee upon our shores, we would rather sacrifice the friendship of the Spanish Government than yield him a prisoner to General ESPARTERO. But though the war in Spain is now virtually at aar end, some time must elapse before public confidence can be restored—before the machinery of a regular system of Government can be established in permanent working order in the distlicts so long the scat of a successful rebel lion. It will likewise require an unusual degree cf firmness and moderation on the part of the Autho rities to heal the wounds inflicted by local jealousies and personal antipathies—to fuse, as it were, a huge mass of seemingly heterogeneous materials into the one body which constitutes the true essence of strength and durability and independence in a king dom. To this great work the Spanish Government must new address itself, and we trust that England and France will interpose their good offices in the way of furthering its happy accomplishment. The following scraps of intelligence constitute the bulk of the additional news in the Paris Journals of Wednesday : The Gazette de France announces that Don Francisco do Paulo and family have quitted Paris for Spain. The French Government has sent the Coyte steamer ficim Toulon, on the ',pith, with urgent despatches for Con stantinople. Marshal Vallee) writes to the Minister of War that he shall be at Blidah July 4, when he will send a detailed re port of his operations. The French Ministry has sent engineers to construct fortifications in the Aletidja. Madrid papers of the Ist inst. continue to dwell on tl.e prospect of a change of Ministry. We have received Sydney Papers to the 17th of A 1 arch, and other South Australian Papers, from which the following are extracts : The accounts from Adelaide bring intelligence of sec-. ens depredations committed among the stations in tle Bush, to the northward of Adelaide, by three men. They had established a regular system of bush-ranging. The revenue for the years 1838 and 1839, and for the last quarters of those years, have not been published. We will first turn to the abstract of the revenue of the Colony of New South Wales for the years ending December 31, 1838 and 1839, respectively, showing the increase and de crease. The first and most important item, Customs, 37,0001., an increase on the corresponding quarter of 1838 of upwards of 6,500/. ; the duty on spirits distilled in the Colony amounts to 2,5971., an increase of 1,500/. ; the Crown Lands only brought 21,5001., a decrease on the quarter of 8,000/. The Port Philiip reveuuo for the quarter amounted to upwards of 35,1001., the corresponding quar• ter of 1 839 being only 5,000/. The total revenue for the year 1838 was 334,0791., and for 1839, 427,3681., an in. crease on the year of 93,2881. SWAN RIFER —The blacks were becoming- more and more troublesome daily. The last Session of the Council terminated on the Ist Mly, and before the close of that ! month, a communication reached the Government from the resident Magistrate at York, of the wanton mur der of a female and her infant! child, by: a party: of aborigines in that district. Active measures were imme diately taken for the capture of the offenders, but without success, and the first excitement of feeling at this outrage had not subsided when another murder of still more daring character Was announced, of a youth of about fourteen accounts sentt s from in years Five p t to f age, Vr n !io had charge of a small number of sheep. of butt it military wa s otn o n n a d v c a civil forceThc 011 n V C i a i re s l e o‘ t i lrnifetlti s settlement n other respects are, very favourable. DISCIPLINE OF TIIE O:IIES,—The Tines yester day gave the following description of Lord Stanley's troops " Alen of a class', generally speaking, beset by social blandishments aad allurement', surrounded by the tempta tions of luxury, brou4ht up with strong tastes f o r at h!etic pporc and various amusement, to the number of consido rably more than 300, were found, as the Session advanced, with daily increasing punctuality at their posts, under the most irksome circumstances and trying inducements to absent themselves. To so praiseworthy a pitch was this sense of duty carried, that on some of the more recent divisions not a single defaulter could be named !" We quote it for the instruction of the Whigs. While the Tories had not a single defaulter, they never gained a victory from which more Whigs were not absent than would have sufficed to defeat them. Such, however, is the difference between the sharp-set, hungry Tories, greedy for office, and the satisfied negligence of the Whigs in possession of it. The Times went on to bestow some flattery on the gentlemen whom it lately described as " wine warmed individuals," and formerly scolded with much zeal, for preferring Crock ford's and dinner parties to their duty in the House ; but the public laughs at the flattery, and laughs at the Times, which carries its impudence so far as to describe their service as generous. The whole world knows that the most intense selfish ❑ess kept them together, and that they have suffered the most bitter disappointment by their final discom fiture. They rail now at Lord Stanley as they formerly railed at Sir R. Peel, and console Crockey, who began to talk of shutting up his shop in despair, by promising never again to desert his endearments for the thankless labours of assiduously attending the House of Commons in order to turn out the Whigs. Parliamentary Electors in - Cities and Boroughs, enti tled under the Reform Act, will lose their votes for the next year, unless they pay on or before the 20th day of July all the poor's rates (and window tax, if any) pay able from them in respect of their premises previously to the 6th day of April. Country voters must send in their chines on or before the 20th day of July. INFLUENCE OF LITERATURE AND OF THE THEATRE. —Mr. Sheriff Evans has published a letter distinctly contradicting Mr. H. Ainsworth, and distinctly affirm ing that Courvoisier confessed to him that he was insti gated to commit the great crime for which the suffered by reading " Jack Sheppard," and that he borrowed the book from the valet of the Duke of Bedford. It is not, therefore, literature, pci se, but only literature of a certain kind, which is beneficial to society, and some literature does unspeakable harm. It ought not to be enough therefore to ensure a man the public reward that he is a great and popular author, unless it be also proved that his writings are publicly beneficial. In be stowing pensions on literary men and men of genius, therefore, it will be necessary to examine the effects of their works, otherwise reward may be bestowed on those who have incited men to commit great crimes. The Prime Minister, in whose power it lies to give such en i s 'i o m rs s ; 'lf, an o d r I pens iem io u n s s t , m b u e et g e a i i t d h e e d r b b y e a a c g o r a aN n - e cil ce o n f s , o c r even then he may es easily bestow the funds of the nation on the pander to vice as on the promoter of vir tue. It is plain also, that the theatre, which is in some countries so much encouraged as a means of teaching virtue, and which we always desire to see flourish, as a source of rational and delightful amusement, may be a means of disseminating crime. "Jack Sheppard," has had its run in mos t o f the theatres, and Jack's songs are among the popular street-ballads of the day. But it is not necessary to quote such examples ; for no sooner is a theatre opened for a penny or two-pence than the Magistrates and the police denounce it as a den of vice ; and thus the same amusement may be made either a school of virtue or a nursery of crime. Whether tyre Lord Chamberlain be a proper censor for such amusement or not, we cannot say ; but it is plain that the theatre, like literature, must be properly con ducted to be a means of promoting civilization.

MADRID, JULY 1.-It is reported that the Cortes will be prorogued in a few days, but the exact time is not yet fixed. Reports relative to the change of Ministry become every day more current, but they appear to be like the ru moured prorogation of the Cortes—more wished for by a certain party than contemplated by the Government. There were great preparations making at Barcelona to receive the Queens in a manner becoming their rank. On the 30th ult. Espartero was at Esparsaguer, between Lerida and Barcelona. The Chamber of Deputies unanimously passed a resolution proposed by Senor Olano, " That the Basque provinces end Navarre had faithfully performed the pro mises made at Bergara.", Senor Vincent supported a proposal to invite the Go vernment to present-1, the accounts of M. Aguado, the Paris banker; 2, the sums owed by the provinces for ordi nary contributions, excepting the provinces which were ravaged by war ; and 3, the amount of money due to the Treasury on account of the war extraordinary contribu tions. This resolution :‘ as opposed by the Minister of Finance, who declared that Aguado's accounts were referred to a committee, and it consequently did not become the Cham ber to interfere with it. The first paragraph relative to M. Aguado's accounts was then negatived ; and the other two paragraphs were adopted without a debate. The Stock Exchange was becoming more animated. The funds continued to improve. The Five per Cents. were done on the Ist of July at 281 cash, and 27 at sixty days. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.

" The faction of Aragon, about 8,000 strong, is the only one which has entered with Cabrera. " The Catalonians, in four bodies, still hold out. The firing between Carbo (Christino Chief) and Rosel Enles (Carlist), was heard yesterday near Puycerda." " Cabrera," says the official Alesrager, " imme diately after his arrest was sent on to Parts in charge of the gendarmes, and may be expected here on Thursday night or Friday morning." The Madrid Deputies on the 2d voted the Ministry 180 millions of reels for war expenses, rejecting the amendment reducing that amount to 70 millions. Don Carlos, say the German papers, has sold all his plate, and is in great distress at Bourges. NEWS FROM PERSIA. " Despatches," says Thursday's IVloniteur, " sent from Ispahan on the sth of May, by the Count de Se ver, and brought to Europe by the Marquis de Lava lette, have arrived at Paris. His Excellency was, as before announced, preparing for his return home. He had by his influence obtained the promotion of all the non-commissioned officers, taken into Persia by Hassan Khan, to the rank of Captains, with double pay. The Count, seconded by the Marquis of Lavalette, suc ceeded in obtaining a restoration to the French Catho lics of the church which had formerly belonged to them ; and, further, prevailed upon the Shah to issue an edict in favour of all the Christians under his empire. The Marquis de Lavalette is shortly expected in Paris." WAR IN FRENCH AFRICA. TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES. " MARSHAL VALLEE TO THE MINISTER OF WAR.

The enemy offered no opposition to the march of the convoys. According to the information which I have received from deserters, the tribes refuse to march with Abel-el-Bader, and he is afraid of compromising the regular troops that remain to him. I have already informed the Government that since .the taking of Medeah, General Dunrier has not been attacked. " The town and detached forts are in a very good state. The tribe of Monzara, which had constantly been the most hostile to us, has been chastised by one of my columns in returning fro.n Medeah. The flocks were taken, many Kabyles were killed, and all the crops were burned. Several Marabouts and a part of the women and chil dren were conveyed to Blidah. The army will speedily have terminated its operations and return to its posi tions in the Sabel. " Toulon, July 7. THE MARITIME PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF MARINE. An absolute submission reigns from the Bibans to the frontiers of Tunis.

AIAESTRICTIT, JULY 2.—The differences between the Dutch and Belgian Commissioners, respecting the demarcation of the frontiers are chiefly the following : The Dutch Commissioners in measuring the 1,200 toises on the left bank of the Meuse, allotted to Dutch Limbury, would set out from Fort Peter, and the ex treme front of the outworks near the Booschpoort ; whereas the Belgian Commissioners would begin to mea sure from the external glacis of the fortress of Maestricht itself. By the first mode the whole of the village of Camne, and the Castle of Baron de Thier, belonging to it, on the one side, and on the other the principal part of the village of Smeermaas, would belong to the Nether lands ; by drawing the line as the Belgians propose, both those villages would be cut off. To remove the difficulty the Belgian Commissioners have proposed to draw an intermediate line, and so to split the difference.; but the Dutch Commissioners not ac ceding to this proposal it fell to the ground, and these points, as well as the respective claims to Martelange, in Luxemburg, are now the subject of diplomatic negotiations, which, we are assured, are very far advanced towards a conclusion. The Belgian Com missioners appear not to be disinclined to concede a greater extent of territory where it can take place with out loss of population ; but, on the other hand, to have much at heart the retaining of the villages of Camne and Smeermaas, which includes a convenient place for landing coals on the Meuse. AIAESTRICHT, JULY 4.—We learn that the affairs of the Roman Catholic Church in this province, till his Majesty shall be pleased to establish a bishopric at Burimond, will be directed by the Rev. M. Von Bonomel, Bishop of Liege. It would have given more satisfaction if they could have been placed under the Vicar-General Bois le Duc, and had no connection with the Belgian clergy, who are fond of meddling with the temporal concerns of a country in which they have spiritual authority. We hope this provisional state . of things will be of short duration--Dutch Papers, July 7. ST. PETERSEURGH, JULY 26.—M. Saaveur de la Chapelle has just received his cxequator as Consul of France at Tiflis. Mr. James Baker has just received his ex equal or as English Consul in Livonia. The Journal called the Mediator gives a very favour- able account of the appearance of the crops in several provinces. In the course of 1839 there was, at Moscow, 9,327 births, and 9,725 deaths, being an increase of 308 deaths.—Journal de St. Petersburgh, June 27. COLOGNE, JULY I.—The news from Roesfeld that the Archbishop will shortly go to Berlin has spread rapidly through this city, and gives occasion, as may be imagined, to various conjectures. A great many per sons fancy that the Prelate will make his entry in a few weeks, and are already full of joy. The most judicious, however, who justly appreciate the position of the Arch bishop with respect to the Government, entertain doubts of his return, which they do not think desirable, since, as matters now stand, no good can be expected from this Prelate for our diocese ; they wish that the Pope may raise Baron Droste Vischering to the dig nity of Cardinal, and appoint to the Archbishopric of Cologne some other Prelate more disposed to conform to the spirit of the age. At all events it is desirable that unpleasant affairs might be terminated as soon as possible. LIEGIC, JULY 6.—Two individuals, ono - designated by the title of Count de Sivey, Captain in the Staff in the service of Franee, the other by that of Count d'Au mont, were arrested on Saturday evening, at the Mo_ lines station, on a suspicion of swindling, for giving and issuing forged notes. These gentlemen, who came from Hol!and, had put up for a day at the Hotel Bellevue at Brussels. They came in the morning from that city, to Molines, and at the moment of their arrest were going to set out by the evening train for Liege. It appears that a courier had arrived from Holland to require their arrest. One of them mad• most desperate resistance, and it was necessary to apply for assistance to the lancers posted at the station. The gendarmes handcuffed them to take them to Brussels.

EVENING EDITION. BIMHOPSGATE CHURCH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—I read in one of your evening papers a short time since, a statement by an inhabitant of the parish of Bishopsgate, relative to the new Church, in Skinner street, of the average amount of congregation, and description of the officiating minister. The statement is awfully correct. The Church is situated in a eery crowded neighbourhood, where one was much needed, and at a considerable distance from any rival Church. But why is it not filled? and many more that I could name, both in the City and its suburbs. The statement of your Correspondent gives the answer. The drones by which these Churches are served, men destitute of talent, men who speak or read as though they were afraid of being heard, and if heard, heard without edifi cation, their preaching being nothing more than a jumble of inconsistencies and contradictions, affording no attractions, not even to the poor and illiterate. Let the Church in question be served by a Noel, or a Dale, or a- Robins, and such like, and the neighbourhood of Skinner-street would want some Church room; and so of the rest. But no ; such men are rarely patronized, and wherefore, because it would put hundreds of their brethren in the shade. In the dis trict where I reside,:l am surrlunded with drones, so that I am obliged to pass through several parishes beforo I arrive at a Church worth attending. Now, Mr. Editor, you aro aware that a great effort is making to obtain collections towards a fund for the erection of Churches in destitute districts, the extensive and populous parish of Bethnal-green, for instance, where bye-the-bye, there are two Churches already, not half filled ; but admitting the necessity, and I think, in reference to many districts, it is adniittable, yet if these new Churches are not served by men pos sessing talents well adapted to the particular class of persons inhabiting those districts, they had bettor be presented to the great body of Dissenters, who w ould take ample care that these Churches should be ade quately supplied. Knowing, Sir, your readiness to throw out useful hints for the public good, I have submitted the above, of which you are at liberty to make what use you please. I am, Sir, yours, &c., A LOVER OF THE CHURCH AS IT SHOULD BE, NOT AS IT IS. 18, Milk-street. HOW TO MAKE A BOOK SELL At a meeting of the Society for the Propagation at Christian Union, held in New York on the 15th of May last, a Mr. Rennie, a gentleman possessed of a most de licious Eastern brogue, and who twaeged his sentences forth without mercy, rose and addresssd the meeting " I have, my beloved hearers, a great reluctance to ad dress you—first, for my youth, and secondly, from the very peculiar situation I find myself placed in just now. on account of a matter I will pretty quickly - relate to you. I came from the green hills of Vermont, and I will tell how 1 happened to get here among you. I'd heard of the Union Society, and I said to myself; I'll jest travel to York and sea what kind of folk* these Unionists may be. So here I am, a good two hundred and fifty miles from my own home. I've got now to tell you how I came to take this journey. Six months ago I belonged to the society of ray place called Union Baptists. I differed with my people on some doctrinal points, and they parted with me in anger. It came about thuswiee. We had a glorious revival of religion in our parts—there was a great ex citement in all our churches. Many hardened sinners showed signs of piety. But the enthusiasm was chiefly' among the young. Now, when these young lovers of Jesus came for admission into the church, the) were ranged around the altar of the sect to which their par e ets belonged, and compelled to recite certain creeds accord ing to the rites of the church they were joining, wh e ther Baptist, Methodist, Calvinist, or any other denonii nation. I was of opinion that young children could not understand these doctrinal difficulties, and freely expressed my opinion to that effect. My people' took offence at this, and cast me off. At parting I told them I would never abandon my beloved f l ock. I'll hold on to your skirts, I said to them. I will not abandon you. I will not on account of this disagree-. went cast off my faith and join some other denomina tion. No, I will hold on awhile. I will not quit you- I will hold on a little longer. This, my brothers and sisters, is my dilemma. What think ye is best t o be; done? I cannot yield to my people. They renounen me._ It's a fix any way V' Mr. Rennie here sat down, but almost imme A liatelY started up again and said, " Hold on a bit, my f r i en ds, I forgot to mention that I had written a pamphlet ori this subject, which I have here for sale. I 'wish eserl one to read it and do a little more; a poor reap ; every dollar counts." Some purchasers went to the desk and obtained Mr. Rennie's lucubrations. A hymn was then sung• Scarcely was it ended when " Hold on a bit! don't be' in a hurry !" was heard from Mr. Rennie. The audienoe waited to learn what next. They were not kept long in the dark. " I forgot," said Mr. Rennie, " to mention that I've got the second and third number of my work here, so that they who have purchased the first, by buying these two, can have the work complete." At this announcement there was a general roar of laughter. Many seemed to admire the 'cuteness of Mr• Rennie's plan for selling his pamphlet, and joked the buyers. Others made off as fast as possible, and w hile' the indefatigable seller was yet exclaiming " H o ld on Is hit," the audience dispersed.—Anzerican Peeper. THE MARKETS. COUNTRY MARKETS. W heat.
