Evening.. 57 minutes after 12 We no w have the returns from the great majority of the Irish cities and boroughs, and from one county, and as yet there has been no material change in the balance of parties ; nor is it probable that there will be any Ministerial gain or loss in that country worth taking into account. Dungarvan has happily been spared the disgrace that must have attached to it had it rejected the Master of the Mint, by the election of that brilliant and accomplished orator and statesman by a majority of 16 over his Repeal anta• gonist. The Right Hon. Gentleman, however, de clined to address the constituency on the final close of the poll and the official announcement of his victory, in consequence of the disgraceful and offen sive manner in which he had been received on his nomination by the parties who had thronged the Court-house, and who, notwithstanding the fair and gentlemanly conduct of his opponent, who had used every exertion to obtain a hearing for him, refused to listen to the voice that had so often been uplifted on their behalf, in defence of their rights and privi leges, and in denunciation of the tyranny and mis government with which they had formerly been op pressed. The state of the poll sufficiently testified that the parties who acted in this outrageous manner were not electors, but that they had intruded them selves on the proceedings without the slightest authority. But they were Irishmen, and have earned for themselves the reproach of every well constituted mind for their base ingratitude to pro bably the ablest associate of the deceased Liberator in his struggle for civil and religious liberty. The gratification of this triumph, however, is con siderably diminished by the defeat, in the neighbour ing city of Waterford, of one of the most able and con sistent Irish politicians —a man of whom his country might have been proud indeed—Thomas WYSE, the eloquent historian of the Catholic Association, the strenuous advocate for the instruction of the people, who has laboured with assiduity and effect to disperse the mists of ignorance and to diffuse the blessings of education to the very humblest of his countrymen. The electors of Waterford have chosen, in place of that amiable and polished gentleman, Mr. Alderman MEAGHER, whose sole claim appears to be that he is the father of that enthusiastic visionary whose fiery and truculent harangues mainly led to the dissensions and differences that ended in the withdrawal from Conciliation Hall of the Young Irelanders. It was the hopeful offspring of the new Member for Waterford, who was breathing defiance to • the Saxon, and urging the propriety and necessity of an appeal to physical force, when JOHN O'CON NELL interposed, and, with some of his lamented father's prudence and discretion, put an end to the speech of the excited orator, and declared that he, at least, would not patiently listen to the language of sedition, and subject himself and his associates to the penalties of a participation therein. We believe, however, that the Alderman does not go to the same extent of Young Irelandism ; and that he avowed himself on the hustings a moral- force Repealer. With him is associated young DANIEL O'CONNELL, who gave up Dundalk ; and Sir HENET WINSTON BARRON has proved that his recent indig nant remonstrances, on behalf of Irish landlords, have not preserved him from defeat. In Galway, too, the Solicitor-General for Ireland, who gave the most decided promise of a brilliant Parliamentary career, during the brief period he possessed a seat in the House, withdrew from the contest, and suffered the Repealer, OTLAHERTY, whom he defeated but a few months ago, to walk over the course without a contest. Galway has thus lost the legislatorial services of a gentle man, whose acknowledged abilities and universally admitted profound legal skill would have been most valuable in the conduct of the Encumbered Estates Bill and other measures that are about to be brought forward for the improvement of the relations between landlord and tenant, and the general amelio ration of Ireland, and, in place, has obtained, as a re presentative, one whose public services are limited to his Si. donation to the coffers of Conciliation -hall. Drogheda, however, has acted otherwise, and al though the defeated candidate possessed much higher qualifications than any other Repealer who has come forward, as a man of sound sense and judgment, and great commercial experience, the Chief Secretary for Ireland was a third time returned as their repre sentative to Parliament. In the city of Limerick, the only place where a real contest took place between Young and Old Ireland, Mr. R. O'Goamas, the phy sical force candidate, was defeated by JOHN O'CON NELL, in opposition to whom especially he was started, by an overwhelming majority, the numbers being— for O'CONNELL, 581 ; for JOHN O'BRIEN, the late Member, 532 ; and for O'GOR3iAN, 381 This may be regarded as tolerably good evidence of the esti mation in which the physical force doctrines are held, Limerick being one of its strongest holds, and the mild and peaceable Rev. Mr. KENTON, the pro poser of Mr. O'GORMAN, being resident in its im mediate vicinity. Cerk has witnessed a rather extraordinary termi nation of the contest, Mr. FAGAN, who was at the head of the poll by a considerable majority, having, just before its final close, resigned in favour of Mr. WC...ll:ray, one of the late Members, who was at the foot of the poll, and in a minority of 94 to Mr. FAGAN. We cannot conceive how the re turning officer could have sanctioned such an arrange ment. The moment a candidate is proposed and seconded, and a poll on his behalf demanded, he ceases to have any control whatever. If placed in a majority he must be returned as the Member, and the sheriff would run a considerable risk if he attempted to act in opposition to his manifest duty. If the precedent was for a moment admitted, if the principle was sanctioned, the most corrupt and unconstitutional compromises might take place. If the man to whom the majority of the electors had given their confidence could be induced to betray those by whom he had been selected, and to accept a bribe, even at the eleventh hour, there would be nothing to prevent the sale of the constituency, or their being handed over to a person who could only obtain the suffrages of a small minority. We do not impute anything of this kind to either Mr. FAGAN or Mr. M`CARTIIT, but it is impossible to tell to how dangerous an extent it migh be pushed if for a moment tolerated.

Another detachment of troops is to corm itself in the Lower Valais, and to be ready, i n case of need, to make an invasion or a diversion in the canton of Vaud. On the territory of Lucerne a superior officer of the stair, accompanied by two other officers of the staff, has made a reconnaissance up to near the ter ritory of Berne, in the district of Trachselwald. lie caused a plan of the locality in which the intreachtuent.i " There is something profoundly disquieting in the repugnance of the Ministry to run the chance of an open and solemn discussion before a court of justice. If acts provided for by the Penal Code be pointed out it says, I don't believe them.' If a deputy or publicist accuses it, or, to use its own language, calumniates it, it assumes an air of disdain and cries out that a conspiracy is plotted against it; it has not any time to lose in struggles, the succession of which has been prepared with a Macchiavel lian art. We allow that it is disagreeable to have con tinually to defend one's self against withering accusa tions, and to bring twenty accusations for defamation before the tribunals; but the best and surest means to put an end to these calculations of ambition, envy, or hatred, is to have the first calumniator severely punished. Besides the Ministry, in our opinion, is in a position which admits of neither contempt nor indulgence. The public conscience is uneasy, uneasy to injustice, if one pleases. M. Guizot has congratulated the country on it. Had he been astonished or made a complaint, the matter would not have changed. Are not more col leagues of M. Teste in power? Have the men who ap pointed him to a seat in the first court of justice resigned their portfolios?" In the same sitting the Lyons and Avignon Rail way Bill was thrown out by a majority of five. The Paris and Lyons, the Montereau and Troyes, the Ver sailles and Chartres, and the Dieppe and Fecamp Railway Bills were passed. The Opposition have issued a circular to the Li beral electors of the provinces, calling upon them to hold reform banquets throughout the country. The Journal des Debats, in replying to a letter re cently published by Father ROOTHAN, the General of the Jesuits, gives the following expose of the doings of that intriguing order in Bavaria : " Were our alarms vain we should willingly allow this to the reverend father, but we cannot in conscience do so. He writes us word that there were no Jesuits at Munich in the month of March of this year; it was an unfortunate month, for we know that for the last ten years they came very often from thence for France, Bel gium, or Switzerland; we could name those who on the invitation of certain prelates, habitually directed the retraites of the diocesan clergy; and since, if necessary, in order to convince the reverend father that we are not always so ill-informed,we can even add that the sad deter mination which placed the college of Lucerne in the hands of his company came from Munich, and not from Lucerne. We do not believe either too much or too little in the affiliations and intermediates which the company, it is said, knows how to provide for itself in the age, but we do not forget how the question stood about it at first in Bavaria. It was the laity who com menced the agitation in 1834, and then petitioned for the entrance of the Jesuits. From 1836 to 1837 these same persons united with women of rank and statesmen ; every one knows how, and for whom, these latter go verned from 1837 to 1847. It was under this govern ment that the most respectable ecclesiastics M. de l)iepenbrok, a t present P r i nce Bishop at Breslaw, the defunct Bishop of Ratisbon, and so many others more obscure, were seen to inveigh strongly against the intolerance of the young fanatical priests ; it was under this direction that the education in the ecclesiastical seminaries more and more departed from the primitive line, in order to become isolated and self confined; that Protestants were pointed at in all pulpits, and denounced to the contempt and hatred of their Catholic fellow-citizens; that the interior of families was disturbed by wild sermons against mixed marriages ; that the exercise of the Protestant worship was impeded in every possible way; that conversions were multiplied, and minors taken away by surprise from the religion of their fathers. But have the Jesuits ever done anything else? In fine, the Redeemerists are not certainly Jesuits, but, like them, they form an association, and not an order, without reckoning that they aid each other mutu ally —a rare thing between religious orders. In reality, the institute of the happy Liguori is nothing else than the institute of Loyola. Who then has so suddenly called into the whole of Bavaria the missionaries of the Most Holy Redeemer?' Who gave the signal of those missions lull of scandal, which went beyond those which were seen in France in 1829? Had Catholic Bavaria so ur gent a want of propagandism, and thus that propagand ism of such good alloy, when made with books in which were heaped up all the tales of the Golden Legend, to prove the utility of mechanical devotions ? We also have some of these books in France, and it is not the Redeemerists who write them. Does the Reverend Fa :her de Roothan wash his hands of them ? The reve rend father's letter has, besides, struck us: by a denial still more particular. It declares that the sage consti tution of the society forbids to all its members, under the severest penalties, any interference, direct or indi rect, in public affairs.' Here have three hundred years passed by without any one ever imagining the existence of that prohibition; for our parts, we can only facilitate the General of the Jesuits on having so well chosen his time to renew it, and we hope that in Rome he will be taken at his word." The royal squadron, which is shortly to assemble, was to be composed this year of the steam-frigate the Cromer, the corvette the Comte d'Eu, the yacht the Reine Arnelie, and of several other little steam vessels; but the Comte d'Eu will be replaced by the Passe-Partout. The division is to be commanded by M. LAURENCIN, who has received a private letter of appointment (a thing which never before occurred), by which he will be allowed to employ more state than he had the right to do as simple captain of one of the vessels. The squadron was to assemble yesterday at Cherbourg, from whence in a few hours it could proceed to Treport. It is stated that the stay of his MAJESTY at the Chateau d'Eu will not be so long this season as in previous years. The Constitutionn e l says that the Prince DE JOIN VILLE has received orders to dispatch two of his ships and a steamer to Tunis. The Panama, which arrived at Toulon with dispatches from the Prince from Naples, has received orders per telegraph to proceed again to Naples without delay.

LONDON, MONDAY. AUGUST 9, 1847. Lord MORPETH has at length received a colleague in the representation of the West Riding of York shire eminently worthy of his distinguished cha racter as a liberal statesman. As a testimony of the popularity enjoyed by the Hon. Member for Stockport, he is returned by acclamation by the most populous of all the constituencies of the United Kingdom, and this not merely without his own per sonal interference, but without his own knowledge. The prestige of his name has driven an adversary from the field without even the show of resistance ; it has proved more influential than the noisiest demon stration or the most brilliant eloquence. A similar enthusiasm has almost simultaneously declared the Hon. CHARLES VlLLlsits a knight of South Lan cashire and Mr. COBDEN a Knight of the West Riding of Yorkshire. These, we conceive, to be nobler tokens of the gratitude entertained towards the two most memorable of the champions of free trade than statues of Carrara marble or pecuniary testimonials. And it is fitting that Lord MORPETH should be associated with Mr. COB DEN in the representation of a county constituency of thirty thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight voters, for it cannot be forgotten that that Noble Lord was one of the first and one of the most earnest con verts to the generous doctrines of an Emancipated Commerce. The promptitude and candour with which Lord MORPETH acknowledged his submission to the irresistible logic of the League, and for warded through the letter, in which he shrived his political conscience, a five-pound note to wards the funds of that great association, still remain vividly in the recollection of a large portion of the community. It is a worthy commemoration of that confession that his name should now be coupled with that of the masters orator and master-agitator of the illustrious League ; and it is a fitting demonstration of regard to RICHARD COBDEN himself, that he should have honours as magnificent as these thrust upon him by his coun trymen. The circumstance proclaims at the least that free trade is not a scheme adventured upon with rashness and received with a timorous conniv ance ; it shows that the principles of that gigantic and beneficent system are as comprehensible to the multitude as the rudiments of trigonometry are to the mathematician, and that the commercial reforms undertaken with such statesmanlike au dacity are welcomed by the people with no ordinary sentiments of exultation. If further evidence is required of the cordiality of the reception of the free-trade advocates during the progress of the Parliamentary elections, a splendid catalogue of triumphs can be recorded. Protectionist fanatics may be sceptical : we shall, therefore, enu merate some of the most prominent of the free-trade successes. Not merely is Mr. COBDEN elected with acclamation both by Stockport and the West Riding of Yorkshire, n o t mere l y is Mr. VILLiEns received with equal ardour at Wolverhampton and Sou th Lancashire, but Mr. B RIGHT is declared, by a decis ive majority, a successful can di date at the hustings sivet Manchester. Besid es , thi s Colonel PER o THOMPSON—a pamphlete er as h erculean in in fluence as CA MILLE DRSMOULINS, th oug h with a more e r i g hteous conscience and in a m ore r i ghteous cause is accepted by the electors of Bradford; his name sake GEORGE THOMPSON, the orator of co mmon sense and universal justice , i s recei▪ ved with all honour at the Tower Hamlets ; W.

MILNER GIBSON for Manchester Such is the ear nestness with which the population acquiesce in the various truths promulgated under the auspices of the Anti-Corn-law League ; and, furthermore, numerous constituencies have solicited from Mr. GcoaGE WILSON, the indefatigable chairman of that associa tion, the honour of deputing him as their represents tire to the Imperial Legislature. Aft* these brilliant and, in many respects, re markable F jctorie3 achieved by tik free.trade candi. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY t ' d to a t k e n s , o i w t b w e choomwe a ill b be quest u s e e l s e t c i o t in d o ft o considefil fill thee r considerable a i n n t t e s r e e a s t s for Stockport and Wolverhampton. to the it m ho o u st tinth the smallest degree desiring to dictate a appro priate candidates, we would suggest that a better re presentative could scarcely be desired by the old con stituents of Mr. COBDEN, now that that eminent man is called elsewhere, than Alderman KERSHAW, the honest commercial and political reformer of Man chester. Should the Right Hon. THOMAS BA.BING. TON MACAULAY find the fascinations of his literary pursuits superior to those of Parliamentary life, the electors of 'Wolverhampton will act wisely in securing in their service the probity and the intellect of Mr. ROEBUCK. In another direction, the vacancy which has occurred in Greenwich, in consequence of the sudden demise of Mr. E. G. BARNARD, a Liberal of long standing, and of unsul lied reputation, affords an admirable opportunity for the return of Mr. HAWES by a metropolitan consti tuency. If THOMAS SLINGSBY DUNCOMBE recovers from his present serious indisposition we shall regard the Liberal cause as unusually fortunate. are to be constr uc t e d to b e drawn up. At the passage of Brunig, in the Ob wa ld , t h e works of the fortifications are being pushed on actively. Hundreds of men are there occupied, and gatherings of troops and inspections take place continually. Heavy artillery has been brought to Lungern. A citizen of Berne, M. Oswald, Registrar of the tribunal of the district of Oberashli, whilst pro ceeding to Sarnen, received from M. Bril.chgi, at Lun germ advice to return, if he would not expose himself to disagreeable treatment. These hostile demonstra tions with respect to the federal resolution cause, among the people of Berne, sentiments of which yo 3, gentlemen, can appreciate the character when you are told that the government of this canton has been strongly solicited to send arms and ammunition to the frontier districts." The Federal .Assembly decided that this document should be sent to the Committee of seven members nominated in the preceding sitting. The Bdle Gazette of the 4th announces that the Vorort, in consequence of the resolution adopted by the officers of the Sonderbund, has addressed a cir cular letter to all the officers of the seven cantons, calling upon them to declare before the 10th their position and relations with regard to the Sonder bund. They are required to say whether it be their intention to maintain a position incompatible with their duties as federal officers. If they send no answer, it will be presumed that their intentions are incompatible with their federal duties. Madrid papers of the 2d have arrived. The QUEEN has returned to La Granja. An order for the payment of a month's instalment to the State creditors has been issued. MADRID BOMA, ACC. 2.—The Three per Cents. were done at 261 for cash ; the Fire per Cents. at 17i for cash; the Debt without Interest at 51 for paper; and the Coupons at 15 for cash. Exchange on London at 49f. 40c. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. Those of Friday contain a report of a scene in the Chamber of Peers, in consequence of Viscount DunoucrtAoE having read a letter from M. WARENEY, which had been published in the papers, in which that 'gentleman, as a delegate from Bona, charges Marshal SOUL; General St. YON, the late Minister of War, and several other high per sonages with having made concessions of mines, &c., in Algeria, for corrupt purposes. The Viscount de manded explanations, but the Minister, as usual, de clared the charges unworthy of notice, and refused to institute any inquiry. This refusal, after the revela tions which have taken place in the Teste affair, is, certainly, very suspicious. As the Union Monarchlgue justly observes "It is impossible to form even the most vague idea of the ultimate financial and commercial position of this country. With all the wealth Europe possesses, we are destined to surpass her, and in much less time than many imogine, or would believe, we shall stand the hi g h est i n the l i st o f commercial, nations. Our progress is so rapid that it is not astonishing that we cannot keep up with it in our calculations ; the changes are so great in such short periods, that it is impossible to draw any inference from the influence or effect of any movement, at one time, upon things at another. We must reason from things as we find them. Every year in this country is almost distinct of itself : what would produce embarrassments this this year, would perhaps have a contrary effect next. While we are progressing so rapidly in wealth and re sources, our prosperity is becoming established upon a sound, solid, and healthy foundation. We have such a variety of interests within our own limits, that they will in a few years support each other, placing all indepen dent of any foreign aid and comfort. From Mexico we have by this arrival some inte resting news, not later, but giving particulars in de tail not brought by the last West India Mail. PHILADELPHIA, JULY 15.—There has been less ac tivity in flour, but prices are fully sustained, owing to light receipts. Sales of 500 bbls. Western at 5 dols. 371 e. and some at 5 dols. 50c. to the retailers. Penn. flour, fresh ground, is held at 5 dols. 57c. with small sales. Rye flour is nominal. Corn Meal : A sale at dols. 35c. per bbl. Grain : A sale of 1,000 bushels good red wheat at 3 dol. 15c., and a lot of prime at 1 dol. 20c. per bushel. Rye is worth 72 a 73c. Sales of 2,000 bushels Penn. yellow at 75c. It is wanted at this price. A sale of New Orleans at 70c. By the French steamer Union (Havre), we have advices from New York to the 24th July. The New York Courier and Enquirer says— The Mexican war is, as it was. We have dates from the city of Mexico to the first day of the present month, up to which time it does not appear—how ever prevalent sports to tho contrary—that the Congress had met to deliberate upon the renewed propositions from this Government, through Mr. Trist, for negotiations. The idea still prevails, nevertheless, the negotia tions will come of this proposition, and the rather as it seems to be understood that the offer was made through the agency of the British Embassy in Mexico, and that the earnest efforts of that Embassy are exerted to secure a favourable consideration to such offer. Meantime, it is hardly doubtful that General Scott, reinforced by some 2,500 men under Generals Cad wallader and Pillow, and with a further reinforce ment in view of about equal strength, under the command of Colonel Pierce, on the road from Vera Cruz to the capital, left Puebla about the 29th of June, for the purpose of occupying the city of Mexico. It does not seem to be the opinion of the American officers that any serious or sustained resistance would be made to the advance of the army, either at Rio Frio or at the city itself; and great confidence is felt in the opinion that within the first week of July instant the American flag would fly in triumph over the capital, unless the march of the army be arrested by a preliminary acceptance on the part of the Mexi can Congress of the offer to negotiate. Mr. Trist, it does not seem to be questioned, bears with him in all due form, a copy of th e t rea t y w hi c h the United States are willing to consent to ; and if the Congress of Mexico will accede to that treaty, Mr. Trist, immediately on their doing so, is autho rised to pay down three millions of dollars. The supposed terms of this treaty are, the concession by Mexico of the line of the Rio Grand e , f or T exas , and of Upper California ; in consideration thereof the American Government will assume all the claims of its citizens upon Mexico ; give her a discharge in full, and probably offer her some additional sum in compensation for the territory she will surrender. However this may be, the impression gains ground that a pacific solution of our difficulties is at hand ; but doubt and delays yet embarrass its view. There has been no fighting since our last. To basco has fallen to a naval attack, and the whole Gulf coast and all its ports are in American keeping. General Taylor remains at Monterey, without any present indication of a purpose to march upon San Luis. Of the growing crop accounts are, upon the whole, satisfactory, though recently in Lower Alabama and Mississippi we hear of flooding rains, from which damage is apprehended. The grain crops all over are enormous. Some of the new wheat of 'Western New York is already in market, and is of the first quality. The weather which has prevailed throughout the wheat-growing country for the last three weeks has been most favourable to getting the crops well in, and the apprehension of a still further decline in prices, and the certainty of a very large yield, prompt the farmer to hurry the new grain to mar ket as rapidly as possible— so that, while there is yet quite a considerable residuum of the old crop, the overflowing new will be pressed into competition with it. Of Indian corn,-of which the harvest is in October, the appearance is most promising, and the yield will be unparalleled. The potatoes, of which the early crops here are in the process of bei ng gathered, are exce ll en t i n qua li ty, and show no si gns o f disease, and those i n t h e groun d everywhere look well. Our money market is quite easy, the credit of the General Government high, and the stock of the de faulting States is appreciating. Exchange on Europ e is rather tending downwards. Bills on London range from si, at which good bills may be had, to 6i, the top price asked for the most favourite signatures. On Paris the rate is 5 321 to 5 33. i.

'We have an arrival here to-day from New York, with four days later advices from the United States. The New York packet, John R. Skiddy, Captain Luce, entered our port this morning, bringing papers from New York to the 20th ultimo. A private letter also informs us of the arrival at New York, on the 19th, of the steamer Sarah Sands, after a long passage. The royal mail packet Britannia, Captain Harri son, had made another remarkably quick passage from Liverpool to Boston. She arrive" on the morning of the 17th, after a rapid passage of twelve and a half days, including her calling at Halifax, to land and take in passengers and mails at that port. The New Yorkers were beginning to look for their own native steamer, the Washington, which they had no doubt would make her homeward voyage in twelve days. The commercial news taken out by the Britannia, which was to the 4th of July, had a most depressing action on the prices of breadistuffs in all the corn and flour depots of the United States and Canada. At New York, flour which commanded 6 dollars 12f cents on the 16th, declined on the English news of July 4 becoming known, to 5 dollars 75 cents to 5 dollars 50 cents, and at the latter quotation sales but to a limited extent only could be effected ; at that hour the steamer's letters had not been de livered, and in their absence both holders and specu• lators were disinclined to operate ; a general opinion prevailed that during the following days a further decline would take place. The exports of flour to England continued on a large scale, and 500,000 barrels would, in the month of July only, pass across the Atlantic for Liverpool and other British ports. The cotton advices from Liverpool, of July 4, had had the effect of making holders demand higher rates: a few sales for immediate consumption were made at an advance of cent per pound; the staple was, however, generally withdrawn till the private advices became public. The grain crops throughout the United States and Canada are represented as most abundant, and that with a large additional breadth of land thrown into the cultivation of wheat and Indian corn, this portion of the world boast that, if needful, they can supply the population of Europe at prices lower far than the cur rency which grain and flour have commanded during the present year. Business throughout the Union was most pros perous, money plentiful, accommodation at the banks easily obtained on good paper, and altogether the business of the Republic was " looking up and going a-head." A New York paper, not remarkable for its modesty, thus writes : EVENING, AUGUST '9, 1847. 1,000 dolls. U. S. fi's '62 1054 5,000 dolls. Ohio 6's 5,000 dolls. Illinois 47 1,000 dolls.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.) IN RE THOMPSON AND SAFYIN. Mr. STURGEON applied in the case of these bank rupts, for a postponement of the advertisement of adju dication in bankruptcy, for sixteen days. The applica tion was made on behalf of the bankrupts, with the consent of the petitioning creditors whose solicitor was present. HIS HONOUR said he did not know that he had the power of postponing it after adjudication. Under the old law he knew he had not, but some such power might exist in some of the many new laws. Mr. STURGEON suggested that the Learned Commis. sioner being a judge of a court of record had a power of adjournment. HiS HONOUR did not think that he had, for although he sat under the Act William IV., and subsequent Acts, their powers were under the old law except where ad ditional powers were expressly given. Mr. STURGEON said, that if that was his Honour's opinion they must go to the Court of Review. CLOSING OF THE ACCOUNTANTS IN BANK- RUPTCY OFFICE. An order has been issued by the Lord Chancellor for closing the books of the Accountant in Bankruptcy, from the 17th instant to the 4th of October next, inclu sive, during which time no dividends can be declared. INSOLVENT COURT-( THIS DAY IN RE HENRY STEANS. The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER mentioned, soon after he had taken his seat on the bench, that he had just received a letter respecting the case of the above named insolvent, which was appointed for hearing before him to-day. He could not too strongly reprobate the conduct of parties sending private lettvrs to those who had publicly to decide upon cases. The writer had signed himself " Richard Shillito," and he could inform that person, if he w as i n attendance, that he highly dis approved of such conduct, and that if he had any com plaint to make it was his duty to come forward in court and make his opposition. MARLBRU-STREET—(THIS DAY.) Edward Miller, and Thomas Humphreys, two cabmen, were placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with uttering a counterfeit half-crown, and also with assaulting the police-constable in the execution of his duty. It appeared that on the previous night, about a quar ter to twelve, the prisoners entered the St. Alban's Hotel, in Charles -street, St. James's, and requested Mrs. Smith, the landlady, to serve them with a half quartern of gin. After they had drank it the prisoner Miller put down on the counter what appeared to be a new and genuine half-crown ; but on Mrs. Smith ex amining the coin, she immediately detected it as being a counterfeit. On her requesting the prisoners to give good money in payment for what they had partaken of, they abused her, and created such a disturbance as to draw the attention of a constable who was passing, who entered the house, and inquired what was the matter. Mrs. Smith - informed the constable of the prisoners' conduct, and gave them in charge. Police -constable 111 A said he was attracted to the house of Mrs. Smith by seeing a cab standing opposite without any person attending it, and on his going to wards the Albion Hotel he heard the defendants making use of abusive language. He entered the house, and received charge of the prisoners. In taking them out of the house they struck him several times and knocked his hat off. He procured assistance, and eventually con veyed them to the station, where, on searching Hum phreys, another bad halt-crown was found upen him. The prisoners denied all knowledge of the coin being bad, and said if the constable received any violence it was his own fault. The prisoners were remanded till to-morrow, for the attendance of the Mint solicitor. James Bean, a lad about fifteen years of age, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with committing a burglary under the following circumstances:— Mr. James Herman Watts said that he was the pro prietor of the billiard-rooms, No. 218, Regent -street. The prisoner was in his employ as errand boy up to the 25th of July last. About nine o'clock on the evening of that day he went out for a walk, leaving no person in the house. He had previously taken the precaution to lock all his drawers and the door of the house. On his return at eleven o'clock the same night he proceeded down into the kitchen, which he was surprised to find in great dis order. A chest of drawers had been broken open, and a tea-caddy, in which he kept a sum of money, had been abstracted, and the lock forced off with a chisel. On examining further he missed a small tortoiseshell-box containing two 51. notes, one sovereign and a half, 11. Is. 6d. in silver, and a purse. The prisoner not returning to his employ, he suspected him of the robbery, and gave information and a description of the prisoner to the police. He heard nothing more of him till he received information that he had been taken into custody on the previous night. Subsequently to his being taken into custody he con leased to witness that he committed the robbery by getting o►er the area, and breaking open the kitchen door. William Carlton, an intelligent lad, about 14 years of age, said that he was a " tiger," and lived at 23, Half Moon -street. On the evening of the 25th of July the prisoner called upon him, and asked him to go for a walk ; having nothing to do, he consented. They walked into Regent-street, and, on coming to 218, the prisoner said he would see if his master was at home ; he then rang the bell, but no person appearing, the prisoner got down the area, and after being absent some time, came to him and said " Make haste, let us be off." After walking into Oxford•street, the prisoner pulled out a tortoiseshell box, which witness observed contained a large sum of money. The prisoner shortly left him, and said he was going into the country. He knew nothing further of the circumstance. The prisoner, who admitted the robbery, was re manded. CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.) John Seager was charged, before Mr. Combe, with in flicting a desperate wound upon the head of Mary Donoughoue, whereby her life is endangered. A constable of the G division stated, that as he was passing through Pell's-court, about two► o'clock on Sun day morning, he saw a female lying upon the flags in a pool of blood, with a dreadful wound on the side of her head, and several others on her face and neck. Finding that she was in a state of insensibility, he had her con veyed to the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's Inn road, where her wounds were dressed, and she partly recovered her consciousness, when, in reply to the policeman, she stated that she had been attacked by the prisoner. The constable found him in bed in a state of intoxica tion, and upon informing him of the nature of the charge, he said the female and he had been drinking together, until both of them got quite drunk, and that he had no recollection of anything that occurred. A certificate was handed in from the house•surgeon of the Royal Free Hospital stating that the wounded female was at present in a dangerous state. The prisoner, when called upon for his defence, im plored for mercy. Mr. COMBE remanded the prisoner to Thursday. MIDDLESEX _LECTION (THIS DAY.) STATE OF THE POLL. TEN O'CLOCK.

Gibson Craig, Esq., M.P. The party was highly grati fied with the golden and gorgeous edifice. The throne and the woolsack were objects of peculiar interest, as also the painted chamber. The party then proct eded to the House of Commons, and were shown the Ministerial and Opposition benches, and the respective seats of the leading Members. From thence the company proceeded in detachments to see the vaults where the notorious Guy Faux attempted to accomplish his wicked design, " the gunpowder plot." The apparatus there connected with the warming and ventilating arrangement of both Houses, being the invention of their talented and scientific townsman, Dr. D. B Reid, were put in opera tion, and were fully described by Mr. Stewart, who has the management of this department. CLOS G PRICES. 195 8674 86% 88% 9 1-16 2-1 N ONE PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK.

The Cotton market at Liverpool continued dull on Saturday, at about the previous quotations. Sales, 2,500 bales, incltiding ?,000 bales of American, at eV. to Bd. per lb.—Railway Shares were drooping, but there was not a large business done. Accounts of June 9, from the Cape of Good Hope, are not so satisfactory as could be desired. The Kafirs were excessively troublesome near the Goolah heights, and even where they offered no resistance it was most difficult to deal with them, since to attack unoffending people was a most ungrateful office for our brave coun trymen. The destruction of the Kraals, and the re capture of cattle, appeared to be the only methods of re taliation. The papers and letters from New York to the 19th instant do not give much news, but the corn-market was down materially, while nominally the exchange was more against us. , There are more failures in the Corn trade to-day, and business is very slow. The arrivals of foreign continue large. A provincial firm writes that— "As stated in our last circular, the total breadth of land under potatoes is unusually small; of this the greater proportion was applied to . the growth of the early sorts; these have produced an abundant crop, of fine quality, which has been pressed with much eager ness into consumption. The later kinds are showing the old disease in many localities; but we are still of opinion that its effects will not prove so destructive as during the last two years. The dry weather, however, precludes the expectation of more than -a small yield from late potatoes; and this, coupled with the great falling off in the quantity grown, must lead to a con tinued consumption of wheat and other grain, upon a very extensive scale during the coining season." The Funds have given way again this morning upon the rather improved values of Saturday, the serious failures and the somewhat fluctuating state of the wea ther serving to check business. We may observe, how ever, that money would app ear t o b e eas i er if we were to judge by the Exchequer bill market, which is firmfr at 2s. discount to 2s. premium, but we apprehend that as yet there can be no general change out of doors, the failures occurring being calculated to impair confidence. Consols are WI to 861 for transfer to morrow, and 864 to 4 for account. For the New Th ree - a nd-Quarter per Cents, the rates have been 88i to 88:1, and the Three per Cents. 864 to 87.
