FOREIGN 8; COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE WEST INDIES The royal mail steam-ship Medway, Capt. M`Dougall, arrived at Falmouth on Sunday last, bringing the West Indian and Mexican mails, upwards of twenty passengers, and about 370,000 dollars, 15G serons of cochineal, and 13 serons of indigo, on freight. On the 4th ult., whilst crossing the Campeachy Banks, in lat. 22 15 N. and long. 88 W., the Medway's main topmast was struck with lightning and thrown on deck shattered in a hundred pieces. The head of the mainmast was also sprung. The meteor was seen to fall in the water on the starboard quarter, close to the vessel. Three distinct peals of thunder were also heard. The accounts from Jamaica respecting the crops are very favourable. Lord Elgin was still in the enjoyment of good health. The crops in the Windward Islands are said to be good. At Martinique and Guadaloupe the crops were about one-fifth less than those of last year. At Barbadoes everything was favourable to the opera tions of the planter, but no improvement bad taken place in commercial affairs. A correspondent of the Barbadoes Standard says, " Continued rains for the last four weeks have tended materially to improve the appearance of the young crop of cains, now looking very promising. The old crop is nearly finished, and will be from 24,000 to 25,000 hhds." The weather had also been extremely propitious at Dominica. The quantity of sugar already shipped from that island amounted to 17,647 hhds., 850 tierces, and 560 barrels. Altogether the crop, it was expected, would amount to 19.000 hhds., being an increase upon the pre vious year of between 4,000 and 5,000 hhds. The Demerara papers contain a statement of the affairs of the British Guiana Bank, from which it appears that the losses of the company, arising from the commercial embarrassments which commenced with the failure of the Troughtons, would amount to 247,078 dollars, absorbing all the remaining surplus fund, and ten per cent. upon the paid up capital of the bank. The statement of losses in cludes a sum of 17,000 dollars, which would be required to cover the frauds of the late assistant accountant. The net profits for the half year were calculated at 46,448 dol lars, out of which a dividend was declared of two per cent. on the capital stock. The prospect of the crop was favourable. The dry weather had set in unusually early, but no injury was an ticipated therefrom, vegetation in general in this colony suffering from too much rain. A great number of proprietors had come to the deter mination to discontinue payment for medical attendance and medicine for the neeroes. Santa Anna was at Mexico ; he appears to be getting more unpopular. The treaty between the Mexicans and Yucatanos had been completed; one of its leading clauses is, that Yucatan is still to be under the Mezican flag, yet it is to be an independent state. A treaty between Mexico and Texas was also on foot, and with relation thereto her Majesty's ship Sylla, Commander Sharp, had sailed for Galveston. The Montezuma, and other steamers belong ing to the Mexican government, were at Vera Cruz, so that the report of the Montezuma having been captured by the Texians is erroneous. MILITARY REVOLT AT MADRID The Moniteur of Monday publishes the following TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH :- Bayonne, Sept. 3 In the night of the 29th to the 30th, a Battalion of the Regiment del Principe revolted at Madrid. The men de manded their discharge, which had been promised to them This battalion was immediately disarmed. Five sergeants, two corporals, and one private, were shot on the mor ning of the 30th in the presence of the garrison, and ap peared to be devoted to the government. The Queen and Infanta returned to Madrid on the evening of the 30th. They were received with the warm est enthusiasm. Madrid was perfectly tranquil. The Madrid Gazette of the 28th ultimo, contains a de cree of the Minister of the interior, prescribing that as soon as the election for the Cortes shall have been termi nated, all the provincial deputations shall be renewed, and enter on the functions the first of November next. This decree has created considerable sensation at Madrid, as it was considered a violation of the constitution. MADRID, AUGUST 29.—A1l the garrison has again taken arms during the night. Strong patrols traversed the streets. General Narvaez, at the head of his staff, de spatched orders to all parts of the capital. Pots of in fantry were placed before several houses. The most con tradictory rumours were circulated as to the causes which could have induced the government to determine on this energetic measure, and which could have influenced this unusual display of force. Some declared that the govern ment had discovered secret depots of musket and ammu nition. Others maintained that the government were anxious to provoke a collision between the garrison and inhabitants, in order that they might have a pretext for placing Madrid under the control of exceptional laws. During the nights of the 28th and 29th the troops were under orders, and the greatest vigilance prevailed through out the garrisou. The King of Hanover arrived on the 4th at Antwerp, with a numerous suite, and took lodgings at the beautiful Hotel, St. Antoine-hill. A special tr kin was ordered to convey His Majesty to Brussels to visit King Leopold. The Queen of Belgium was shortly expected from Eu. A letter dated Baden, Sept. 4, published in the Times, gives an account of a duel fought at that place between M. Verifkin and M. de Goler, an officer of artillery, in which the latter received a ball in his chest, and the for mer was shot dead. EXTRAORDINARY BRIDGE.—We read, in a letter from Venice :—" The construction of the bridge which is to connect this city with the main land is urged on with great activity. Of thirty-four arches, which it is to have, twenty are already terminated ; and, to all appearances, this gigantic monument will be entirely finished before the end of next year." A letter from Constantinople states, that " the impres sion is every day gaining ground in this place, that the re port of the Murder of Colonel Stoddart and Cap. Connolly, at Bokhara, is altogether unfounded in fact. All the Hajjis who pass through Constantinople, on their way to Mecca, agree in contradicting this story, and state that though incarcerated, these gentlemen are still alive." COL. STODDARP AND CAPT. COOLLY.—On Thursday last a meeting took place in London, at which it was re solved that efforts should instantly be made to ascertain the fate of these two officers ; that a committee be au thorised to communicate forthwith with the Government, in order still, if possible. to secure their interference ; and if they do not succeed in that, to send out Dr. Wolff for the purpose; a handsome subscription has already been entered into. EXTRAORDINARY DUEL.—A fatal but extraordinary duel took place a few days since in the commune of Mai san-fort (Seine-et-Oise). Two gentlemen, named Lefant and Maldant, having quarrelled over a game at billiards, drew lots who should first throw the red ball at his ad versary's head. Chance favoured M. Maldant, who threw the ball with such force and correct aim at the fore head of the other as kill him on the spot.—Galignani's Messenger. DEATH OF THE DAUGHTER AND THE SON-IN-LAW OF VICTOR HuGo.—On Sunday week the newly married daughter of the celebrated French writer, Victor Hugo, went with her husband, M. Vacquerie, his brother and uncle to sail on the Seine. The sheets having been made fast, the boat was taken aback and overset, when all on board perished. Madame Victor Hugo received the news, on Tuesday morning, at Havre, where she has been resid ing some time with her two other children. She set out immediately for Paris. M. Victor Hugo is travelling. MASSACRE OF THE NESTORIAN CHRISTIANS. — The expedition of the Pasha of Mosul against the Mountain Nestorians has been attended with the most deplorable success, and that success stained, as was to be expected, from the co-operation of his savage auxiliaries the Kurds, with every sort of atrocity. The houses of the wretched inhabitants were fired, and they themselves hunted down like wild beasts and exterminated. Neither sex nor age met with favour or mercy; the mother, brothers, and sisters of the patriarch were the objects of peculiar barbarity, the former having been literally sawed in two, and the latter most shockingly mangled and mutilated. The patriarch himself succeeded in effecting his escape, and has taken refuge in the house of the British consular agent at Mosul. The number of victims who have perished in this massacre is not yet known. The popu lation of the mountains amounted to 100.000. Their fate has been truly lamentable and extraordinary. Sur rounded by Mussulman hordes, pent up for ages in their native fortresses, the very existence of these children of the primitive church had remained almost a secret to the rest of Christendom. Happy for them, indeed, had it continued so, for their obscurity seems to have be, n their best protection. No sooner had their country been ex plored by missionaries, and the interest of learned and scientific men been awakened with respect to them, than this terrible visitation befel them, and the public is called upon to sympathize with them in their destruction, before, perhaps, it had become generally aware of their existence. Letters from Mosul throw much of the odium of this sad affair upon Europeans. It was the imprudent zeal of rival missionaries that first excited the jealous ap prehensions of the Pasha of Mosul, and caused him to "let slip the dogs of war" on the unfortunate Nestorians. It is affirmed even that some of these gentlemen, with a view of prejudicing his mind against the American mis sionaries, suggested to him that they were assisting the mountaineers to raise forts, whereby they would be here after enabled to set the Sultan's authority at defiance. These reports were altogether unfounded : their conse quences, however, have been dreadful—such, indeed, as could never have been contemplated by the inventors of them. who have, nevertheless, brought an awful re sposibility upon themselves. ESPARTERO.—This distinguished Spaniard, whose re cent misfortunes have caused him to come a fugitive to our shores, was born in 1;94, and is the son of a humble joiner of the village of Garantula, in La Mancha. By the aid of an uncle, of the clerical profession , he received in his youth education to qualify him for the same calling. The war withiFrance having broken out, he, at the age of fifteen years, formed one of a volunteer corps of his fel low-students. This corps was afterwards drafted to the regular service, and Espartero remained a few years in . a private position, when he w as placed by his uncle in a military school at C a di z . Wh en t wen ty-three years of age, he in due course, received the commission of ensign. He then went over to South America with the troops sent by Ferdinand VII sent to reduce the rebellious Spanish colonies. He acted for along time as secretary to General Murillo ; but obtaining leave to j o i n i n a tt ac ki ng a f or tress, in the assault all his superior officers were killed, and he displayed great valour in successfully leading the storm ing party. He rose to the brevet rank of brigadier-gene ral, and became colonel of a regirotnt, and brought home a large fortune, which was said in a great part to be the produce of successful gambling , in wh ic h vice the S p anish officers at the time excessively indulged. When the Car list war broke out in 1833, he offered his services to the Queen Regent, and was appointed to command the Chris tino forces in the province of Biscay. His military ca reer may be described in exhibiting conspicuous valour in actual conflict, but as a General, much procrastination, and a desire rather to wear out the enemy, than to meet and conquer him. After the military revolution of 1835 at Madrid, when the Queen Regent was forced to accept the constitution of 1812, Cordova threw up his office as Commander-in-Chief, and recommended Espartero as his successor. This recommendation was carried into effect, though the temporary command devolved for a time on General Ovaa. After months of censured inactivity, an action occurred near Bilboa, in which, by his distinguished valour, he redeemed his credit, leading in person the last decisive charge of horse. After this followed again in activity, during which Don Carlos was allowed to approach the very gates of Madrid. After this there was a loud clamour among his officers for a dissolution of the Minis try, and several intrigues followed, the result of which was that his only rivals, Narvaez and Cordova, thought it pru dent to go into exile, and Alaix, and his favourite lieuten ant, was made Priaie Lieutenant of Spain. The war was terminated, as our readers will recollect, by the treachery of Maroto. He then, in 1839, received the title of the Duke of Victory. Lie assumed the Premiership in 1840, and demanded to be associated with Queen Christiana in the Regency. Queen Christino abdicated her office and left Spain, and Espartero was appointed Regent in her stead. IRELAND. Potatoes are so plentiful in Ireland, that they may be had in many places at one penny per stone. The Government appointment of Mr. Howley, not only a Roman Catholic, but a distinguished member of the old Roman Catholic Association, to the sergeantcy, vacant by Mr. Keatinge's promotion to be judge of the Prerogative Court, has created much anger among the Dublin Protestants. Mr. Howley retains the appoint ment he already held as assistant barrister for Tipperary. F r ' OUTRAGES IN THE COUNTY MEATH.—Several Out rages have recently occurred in the barony of Ratoadt. The tails of three cows, the property of Mr. Kennedy, II untstown, have been cut off, and a similar atrocious outrage perpetrated on three cows belonging to Mr. Fitz simons, of Donnyrnoor. The ears were cut off a mare belonging to Miss Keoghan, of Ballybreen, in the same neighbourhood. Mr. Green, the aeronaut, made a successful ascent from the Botanic Gardens, at Belfast, on Saturday afternoon, in the presence of 4,000 persons. He attained an altitude of above two miles (12,911 feet), and intended to have crossed the channel to Cumberland, but finding that he could not get over the water before nightfall, he descen ded in a field at Craigavad, not far from the sea-coast. An address has been presented to Mr. O'Connell from the ladies of Mountmellick, beginning " May it please your moral and irresistable greatness ; " stating that they " the daughters, sisters, matrons, and wives of countless thousands," " prostrate themselves before his irresistable greatness ;" with more of the same kind, to which the Dublin Evening Mail alludes as very equivocal and very funny. EXECUTION.—On Tuesday last, James Downey and Michael Mullins underwent the extreme penalty of the law for the murder of Laurence Hoyne, at Rathcubbin. Downey, from the time of his entering the press-room, appeared in a very weak and exhausted state, but Mullins, on the contrary, seemed to have suffered little since the passing of his sentence. The former continued silent all through, but Mullins prayed fervently and audibly, both in the press-room and when on the drop. He said, " I die in expectation that my Saviour will have mercy on me, and the death I am about to suffer is nothing in compari son to what my Saviour suffered for all sinners." When on the drop he earnestly called on the assembled multi tude to pray for his soul. They were turned off at half past two o'clock, (and after hanging the usual time they were cut down. Neither appeared to suffer much. No public confession of guilt was made by either of the culprits.—Kilkenny Moderator. Ittrstr EXPORTS.—lreland never could be styled a manufacturing country ; but her exports of linen alone — her staple manufacture—are estimated to amount to about £4,000,000 sterling yearly ; and the annual value of the agricultural produce imported into Liverpool only, as shown by a return furnished to the House of Commons, was £4,500,000 sterling ten years since. In 1837, the cattle, sheep, and pigs imported from Ireland into the same port were valued at £3,397,70. Add to this large sum the value of the grain and meal, and the value of both grain and cattle imported into Bristol and other ports. The total value of the exports from Ireland to Great Britain amounted in 1825, as the official tables show they did, to £8,531,355, and the imports from Great Britain into Ireland to £7,018,936, whilst, in 1801, the first year of the union, her imports were only £3,270,330, and her exports £3,537,725. The yearly importation of feathers from Ireland into England reaches the amount ot#:500,000, whilst the value of the eggs imported into Liverpool and Bristol amounts to £lOO,OOO a-year. AN HONEST ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST is, indeed, a rara axis in terris. But honest priests there are, and we are happy, whenever the occasion offers, to do justice to their singular merits. It is probable that Mr. O'Connell may not believe but that they are all as corrupt as he would fain make the Irish soldiery; but we have proof positive of one, at least, resident not one hundred miles from a place popularly called the Smuggler's Nest, who has not tasted the " insane root," and who has the courage to maintain his loyalty aild right of free opinion, uncor rupt by blandishment and undeterred by intimidation. The following letter is addressed to the editor of a Kerry paper:— _ I was not a little surprised to find in your last my name affixed to the requisition inviting O'Connell to a Repeal meeting in Kerry, as I did not sign it myself, nor have I authorised any person to do so. Humble as I am, I have formed my own opinion on the merits of the Repeal movement. The hollow patriot who has taken such un warrantable liberty with my name has my cordial forgive ness, but my most unbounded contempt.—Sir, your obedient servant, "JOHN SHANNON, R.C.C. Ardfert." Bravo ! Father Shannon ! Be assured your spirited ex ample will bring out others. You will not long be left to stand alone. ROBBERY OF ARMS AND GALLANT CAPTURE BY THE PEASANTRY.—On Sunday last a party office armed men, with their faces blackened, entered the house of John Cormack, of Cureeny, an aged and respectable farmer, whose residence is in the very heart of the mountains, about seven miles from Nenagh. They took away two guns and one pistol which were dully registered. There was only a servant boy in the house at the time named Patrick M`Loughney, whom they threatened with death if he offered any resistance. After they departed M'Lough ney gave the alarm, when the neighbours assembled and gave chase after the robbers. After a long and harassing pursuit, they closed in upon the party endeavouring to es cape. One of the ruffians presented a pistol but he was too closely pressed, and three of the five fellows were sur rounded and captured. When taken there were found in their possession two pistols and one of the stolen guns. They had thrown away the other gun, but went back and showed where it was. The two who escaped had taken with them the pistol belonging to Cormock ; the two pis tols found on the others were their own. About this time Thomas Cormock, one of John's sons, who resided with his father, came up, and identified the two guns as his property. They then hound the prisoner's arms, strapped the stolen guns on the backs of two of them, and marched them, with an escort of about 200 of the country people, who had come out of the chapel and who followed in the pursuit, and having called at the police station on their way, lodged their prisoners safely in the bridewell of New port. They have been fully committed for trial at the as sizes.—Nenagh Guardian. REPEAL ASSOCIATION. —At the weekly meeting of the Repealers on Monday, Mr. O'Connell praised the appointment of Mr. Howley, who he asserts is a relation of his own. He also praised the Orangemen of Ulster for not holding their meeting. Whether these indorsements add to the value of the re spective commodities, or the contrary, we doubt. In old-fashioned times, and in the days of iEsop's fables, &c., they would rather have led the other way. The rent of the week was announced at £1097 6s. Bd. On the first of October the entire province of Leinster we learn is to " pronounce" on a great scale, officially assisted by several corporations. Other meetings are in progress and Mr. O'Connell promises the organisation speedily of the great three hundred delegates of the Pre servative Society which he pledges himself shall not in fringe the convention act or any law. He has also es sayed to rehaptise the absurd phrase of " fixity of tenure," which he now calls " equity of tenure." There is a dou ble advantage in the change ; it substitutes a phrase of some meaning for a phrase of none, and it cloaks plain robbery with a convenient and fair-sounding pretence. As to the sedative effects of the Queen's speech upon Repeal, these foregoing facts might suffice ; but lest they should not, the following morsel from Mr. O'Connell's speech will supply the deficiency :—" And, (continued the honourable gentleman,) when they tell me that the Queen's speech is to satisfy me for all that, and when they tell me their deep concern that agitation should pre vail in Ireland, I say to them there is agitation in Ireland, and there will be agitation in Ireland (cheers)—and there shall be agitation in Ireland (cheers)—and there must be agitation in Ireland" (cheers.) A Voice : " We will never give it up."—Mr. O'Connell : " Yes, the moment our grievances are redressed, and that the parliament is in College-green." NEW STEAMER.—We are enabled to state that a steamer to supply the place of the Columbia, lately wrecked between Boston and Halifax, has just been con tracted for. The new vessel is to he built by Messrs. Robert Steele, and Co., of Greenock, and she is to be of the same size and power as the Hibernia, which was constructed by the same able builders. Her engines and other machinery are to be furnished by Mr. Robert Napier, of Glasgow, who constructed the engines of the other steamers on the line.—Glasgow Citizen. FRAUDS ON THE CUSTOMS.—The examination of the books of Dean and Candy by the crown officers, has led to the implication of three more officers of her Majesty's customs, two of whom (landing surveyors) have been dis missed ; the third retains his appointment in the long room for the present; but it is understood he will shortly he removed to a lower class. A landing waiter named Thorpe has also been dismissed the service for returning a cargo of eggs in chests as half chests, and dividing the amount, of which the revenue was defrauded, with the agent employed by the importer to clear the goods.— Observer. THE ERPO STATE OF SOUTH WALES. During the early part of last week, there was a slight lull in the Rebecca movements, and hopes were enter tained that if the coppermen would return to work, mat ters would go on in their usual course. These hopes, however, proved fallacious; for the coppermen still ob stinately determine to remain on strike, as they say, to the last; and the Rebecca outrages have been resumed with additional audacity, when a large body of the Re beccaites assembled and destroyed the Forest gate above Pontardulais. On Tuesday night a body of them on horseback and on foot went to the town of Llanelly, and attacked the house of the harbour-master (on the sea shore), who, it appears, has rendered himself obnoxious to some persons by rigidly enforcing the rules of the port. They destroyed a portion of the house, and having made the harbour-master come out to them, they ordered him to quit the country in a fortnight, or to take the conse quences; after which they fired one or two guns, and departed. On Wednesday, at midnight, the Rebeccaites and the police had a conflict at Pontardulais gate. When the for mer came opposite the Pontardulais Inn, they fired a volley, and then commenced blowing their horns, and went in a regular march to the Pontardulais gate, which is situate in the very centre of the village. They imme diately attacked and broke open the blacksmith's shop close by, after which they tore down the turnpike gate, which is a very strong one, and on the main road. Hav ing finished the destruction of the gate, the police ad vanced upon them, and commanded them to desist; in stead, however, of doing so. the Rebeccaites fired a volley at them. This being the case, the police were ordered to draw their pistols and fire, which they did twice, wounding several of the Rebeccaites, and shooting the horse of the leader. A regular battle took place for a short time, and the police succeeded in capturing six pri soners, three of whom are wounded, two severely. They were taken in their disguises, with faces blackened, and bonnets and nightgowns on. While the police were se curing their prisoners, the rioters returned to the attack, with the view of rescuing them, but two of the magistrates having ridden off for the troops, a party of the Dragoons from Swansea, who were out on the road, and some of the 76th Foot, arrived, and the Rebeccaites fled. Several meetings of the turnpike trusts have been held for the purpose of coming to terms with the toll contrac tors, but nothing has been effected. At one meeting it was determined to discontinue 13 out of 15 side bars on a trust embracing 75 miles of road. Since the burning of some corn mows in the neighbourhood of Llaridilo, the farmers have become alarmed, and are endeavouring to insure their corn. Such, however, is the unsettled and disturbed state of the country, that the insurance-offices refuse to giant policies on farming stock. Bands of people, in threes and fives, are prowling about demanding charity at the gentlemen's houses in the coun try, and endeavouring to exact it by threats of vengeance from " Becca" if not given. The other day a wealthy farmer at Llanon, who acted as a kind of banker for the district, had his house broken open, and £6OO in money taken a way by a number of men with blackened faces, and who passed as Rebeccaites. Toll-bars are now sinking in importance as a grievance; in fact, most of them are either down or abolished; and objections to the New Poor-law and to tithes and to high rents, are beginning to stand in the front rank. The tithe-payers now say, " We are determined that no cler gyman shall receive more than £lOO a-year from tithes." In nine cases out of ten they do not receive so much, and very often from every source united not £lOO a-year iu the aggregate. As an instance of the alarming tone which the feeling of the people is taking, a grave has been dug in Dynevor Park, near Llandilo, the seat of Lord Dynevor, the father of Col. Trevor, the Vice-Lord-Lieutenant of the county, and a notice has been sent to Col. Trevor that it is in tended for him, and that he is to be laid in it before the 10th of October. This state of society gives rise to very serious apprehensions. From an account (in the Times) of the Whitland turn pike trust, which extends from St. Clears to Narberth, we have a sample of the way in which such affairs are managed in South Wales. It appears that the receipts are £499 19s. 9d. for tolls, and the expenditure is £516 Ils. Bd. Out of this sum all the money expended on the road for keeping it in repair is £l4 Os. 9d. for labour, and one-third of £2 14s. Bd. for materials. There is an item, " Law, defending constables, &c., £175." £ll3 of this sum went for defending two constables for handcuffing a farmer on the road, on his return through one of the gates, he having passed through in the morning without paying, as there was no one at the gate to take toll. It is to be presumed the constables were in the wrong, for they lost the action. A second edition of the Swansea Journal published on Thursday evening states, that one of the prisoners is scarcely expected to survive, and that the person who acted as Rebecca on the occasion, and who had his horse shot under him is a young marl, a respectable farmer's son, named Hughes, who resides in the village of Llanon. He had one arm broken and sustained other injuries, and is now at the infirmary of the House of Correction. The party who attacked the gate, were at leat one hundred and fifty, whilst the police were only a dozen ! The Re beccaites are taking vengeance on all who oppose them. Two stacks of corn belonging to Mr. Chambers, a magis trate, were burned late on Thursday evening. ANOTHER STEAMER TOTALLY WRECKED LOSS OF THE QUEEN STEAM-PACKET. , (From the Dublin Mail.) Mr. Hare, of Bristol, a passenger in the ill-starred vessel, has kindly furnished us with the particulars of this calamity. . . . The Queen steam-packet, Capt. Gardner, started from Bristol on Friday last, at hal-past ten o'clock, p.m. with a valuable cargo and passengers ; and at eleven o'clock same night, being suddenly enveloped with a dense fog, struck on a rock in Jack's Sound off Milford Haven, and in less than half-an-hour went to the bottom. The cargo is en tirely lost ; but it gives us inexpressible pleasure to add that, with the exception of an old man, a dealer in pigs, who is supposed to have fallen asleep in the forehold, the passengers and crew (upwards of 50) were rescued from a watery grave. Shortly after the Queen had struck, a coasting vessel, named the Hope, most providentially hove in sight, and, with the promptitude and humanity which distinguish British sailors, came to the rescue just in time to save all lives on board (with the one exception above mentioned). The vessel foundered in less than five minutes after. Amongst the passengers who are indebted to Providence for this timely rescue, were Mrs. Latouclie and family, of Marley ; the Rev. Doctor and Mrs. Handcock ; Mr. Hare, of Bristol; Rev. Mr. Bredan, Mr. Croshie, and many others, whose names we have not been able to as certain. They all reached Milford in safety. NEWPORT, JULY 15.—DISSENTING PROFANITY !—A sect calling themselves "The Bible Christians," after an nouncing in a large placard that the children of their school will be publicly examined in their chapel on Sunday next, " when they are to recite several interesting pieces," also state that they will form a procession, and perambu late the villages of Whitewell and Niton the next day, and " affectionately invite persons interested in the wel fare of the rising generation to attend and partake tea with them afterwards, Tickets Is. each. After tea, the Trial of St. Paul before Felix, Festus, and Agrippa, will be acted by the first-class boys !!! NOVEL OCCURRENCE.—A party of sixteen men headed by a person named Howells, entered a field of wheat at Bromsborough-row-heath, in the parish of Dymock, be tween the hours of ten and eleven on Monday ninht, which they cut, and carried off the wheat in two wag gons brought for the purpose. Many of the cottagers and people of the neighbourhood were obliged to look contentedly on while they performed their task, as they threatened vengeance to any one who dared to interfere. Report states that they were armed, and that two or three policemen were spectators, but were afraid, from their disparity of numbers. EXECUTION OF A MURDERER.—The last sentence of the law was, on the Ist instant, carried into effect, on the Esplanade, at Perignan, on Blanque, for the murder of his brother-in-law. On being informed that the order for his execution had arrived he gave way to a violent fit of rage : he uttered the most horrid blasphemies, and tore his clothes until be was reduced almost to a state of nudity. On recovering himself from this violence he de manded to have breakfast, of which he ate heartily, and drank a bottle of wine. He afterwards submitted to all the preparatory ceremonials with the most perfect calm ness and resignation ; but, to the last moment, refused all the offices of the ministers of religion. He ascended the steps of the platform steadily. CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.—A case of much in terest, involving a most serious charge against a gentle man of the name of Lazarus, occurred at Birmingham last week. Mr. Lazarus, and a party consisting of three sailors, started for Birmingham on Wednesday week, and while on the journey two of the sailors fell asleep, and when they arrived at the terminus one of the three " Jacks" found he had lost three £5 notes and some gold. He soon collected a crowd about him, when his companion Cunningham, who had remained awake in the train, whispered to him that the gentleman who travelled with him in the carriage, and who had just " gone off," was one of the " swell mob," and had committed the robbery while he was asleep. Mr. Lazarus was at once taken to the magistrate's office and searched, and curiously enough, three £5 notes were discovered in his possession, some sovereigns, and some loose silver. The whole chain of evidence seemed to run against Mr. Lazarus, but he was admitted to bail to appear the next day in the sum of £2OO. On Friday the whole of the parties again appeared before the magistrates, but during this short interval the scenes of the drama had shifted, and James Cunningham. the chief and only witness against Mr. Lazarus, occupied his place at the bar, charged with the robbery of his com panion, John Smith Lynn. Lynn narrated his journey from London to Birmingham, and said that on leaving the court he adjourned with his companions to the American Tavern, near the railway station, where they had some grog and a game at bagatelle. There was a strange man playing with him, and on Cunningham's leaving the room he saw in the stranger's hand a small M altese c oin , which wrapped theman how up in his letter recognised with the a n s o tes one andwh which he . ehad He a he came by the coin, who told him he had received it from Cunningham, when be immediately suspected that his comrade had not played him fair, and had him tak en i nto custody. On being searched by the police-officer, four sovereigns were found in his jacket pocket, but. the notes were not forthcoming, At length the officer stripped him, and on taking off his stockings found concealed in one of them three £5 notes. The fellow swore hard that the money was his own, and that Lynn was a rogue, wh o was not to be believed ; but finding that the Maltese coin had been identified, he acknowledged that he committed the robbery. L STANDARD THE COURT. HER MAJESTY'S MARINE EXCURSION As we stated in our last, the arrival of her Majesty and Prince Albert at Eu, in France, took place on Saturday week. At eight the town was illuminated, after the French style, not certainly with variegated lamps or bril liant stars of gaslight, but in a very efficient manner,—by earthen pots, filled with grease and wicks of twisted flax. Altogether the effect was good, and was increased by the tower of the Church of the town being lit up in a similar manner. The market-place and the main street were filled till a late hour with soldiers, civilians, carts, car riages, omnibuses, horses, &c. On the following day (Sunday) all at the Chateau d'Eu was in a state of per fect quietude. On Monday all the inhabitants of, and all the visiters at, Eu, were out of their beds at an early hour, making preparations for their departure to the Forest, in which, according to the announcement from the Chateau, a fete champe'lre was to be held. The distance from Eu to that part of the Forest in which the Royal party were to take their rural dejeuner may be about eight English miles : the road is exceed ingly hilly, and, shortly after leaving the town, winds through a succession of woods, which form the Forest. Some of the views from points of the road are very mag nificent, commanding an extensive range of undulating country covered with corn, and thickly studded with trees and forest scenery, but wanting water and deficient in the spires and farm-houses by which such a landscape in Eng land would he diversified. In many places along this road were assembled groups of peasantry to behold the Royal cortege and obtain an opportunity of forming their own notions of our gracious Queen Victoria. They were all gratified in their wishes. The Royal party left the Cha teau d'Eu shortly after two o'clock, but did not go in a direct route to the opening in the Forest in which the tents were erected, because his Majesty Louis Philippe was desirous of showing Queen Victoria the most pic turesque part of the Forest, and pointing out the im provements he had made. The place on which the tents were fixed is called Le Mont & Orleans ; it is a small hill in the centre of a large part of the woods, on which the ground is cleared, and forms a small circular grass plat, from which the eye com mands a rural panoramic view of many miles in circum ference. On one side of this spot was placed the Royal marquee, a long narrow tent, the front of which was open, and in which a long oblong table was laid for the guests, in a style of simplicity the very antithesis to the magnifi cence of the banquets at the Chateau. All was, however, in good style, and in good keeping wi h the sylvan scene. The batterie de cuisine and the temporary offices were at the back of this tent, at some distance, and concealed by the foliage of the forest. In the front of the tent were drawn up the military band of the Carabiniers ; gen darmes guarded and cleared the avenues, and a detach ment of a regiment of the line may be said to have kept the ground. There was, however, but little appearance of military parade, and there could scarcely have been fewer soldiers employed. At ten minutes to four o'clock a noble cavalcade of horsemen entered the grass-plat. Amongst them were Prince Albert, Prince Augustus of Saxe Coburg, the Prince de Joinville, the Dukes D'Aumale and Montpen sier, and many other persons of high rank, with their at tendants, &c. The whole were in plain clothes. Prince Albert rode a splendid white horse, and appeared in ex cellent health and spirits. This illustrious group of horsemen had scarcely dis mounted when the approach of the Royal carriages was announced by the shouts and hurrahs of the spectators, who lined the road, or cut, through the forest, called La Route Clementine, by which the cortege entered the en closure. The cortege consisted of six carriages, char-a- bane, four drawn by six horses each, and two by four horses each. In the first were her Majesty Queen Vic toria and his Majesty Louis Philippe, who sat together on the first seat. The Queen was dressed in a plain silk dress, with a black mantle, or pclerine, and yellow drawn silk bonnet; his Majesty in plain clothes, with a white bat. On the second seat of this carriage were her Majesty the Queen of the French and Madame Adelaide ; on the third the Queen of the Belgians and the Duchess of Or ' leans ' who was in deep mourning; and on the fourth the Princesses Clementine and de Joinville. On alighting his Majesty Louis Philippe handed our gracious Sovereign to her chair on his right hand, and next to her Majesty sat the Queen of the French. On the left of Louis Philippe sat the Duchess of Orleans, the Queen of the Belgians, &c. The rest of the guests were seated to the right and left of the King, according to their respective ranks ; but there did not seem to be much appearance of studied etiquette, the gentlemen wearing their hats during the dejeziner, and the whole baying more the appearance of a❑ actual fete charripare than a repast of state, at which so many exalted person ages assisted. — The Royal party did not continue at the table much more than twenty minutes, and during this time appeared to enjoy themselves with the good feeling and familiarity of old acquaintance. Her Majesty the Queen was in ex cellent health and spirits, and listened with apparent pleasure to the conversation of the King of the French, who, if appearances are to be relied upon. certainly took great pains to make himself agreeable, and with no want of complete success. The . d(jeriner being finished, the Royal party prome naded round the grass-plat, Queen Victoria supported on the arm of his Majesty, the rest of the Queens and Princes following them in pairs. The Queen of England entered the small tent appropriated to the Count de Paris and the Prince of Wurtemburg, and conversed with them for a few minutes, patting them on the head, and enjoying their good humour and childish delight. All this time the b;.'nd was playing " God save th?, Queen," and the spectators who were close to the Royal party huzzaing and waving their hats. Soon after four o'clock the whole party were again in their carriages and on horseback, and returned amidst the cheering of the assembly to the Chateau d'Eu. The din ner party in the evening was served as on the day prece ding, and the enjoyments of the day formed subjects of conversation of which none appeared to be weary. The Duchess of Orleans, who has on this occasion ap peared in public for the first time since her bereavement, was an object of deep interest. Fier presence at the pro menade and luncheon was in compliment to our beloved Sovereign, who seems to have the power of charming all who approach her. It appears that the Queen's kind and endearing reception of the Count de Paris (and the other grandchildren of his Majesty the King of the French) made such an impression on the Duchess of Orleans, that she broke through her resolve to remain secluded for yet some time, and she joined the gipsying party. Tuesday was fixed for a visit to the British squadron off Treport, but the wind blew " fresh" from the north, and caused so much " sea," that the visit was postponed. and in lieu of it the churches of St. Laurent and of the Col lege (in which latter are the celebrated tombs of the Duke of Guise and his Duchess) were visited. The breakfast at the Chiiteau was marked by increasing gaiety, and, if I may use so homely a phrase, friendship. Among the innumerable works of art to be seen in this gem of a Chateau are some splendid pieces of tapestry, and specimens of the far-famed Porcelain de Sevres. Two of the former—" The Death of Meleager," and " Death of Calydon," were particularly admired by her Majesty Queen Victoria. The King, delighted at an opportunity for gallantry, prayed her Majesty's acceptance cf them and a superb casket of Sevres china with so much warmth, that refusal was impossible, and they are at this moment in the hands of the emballeur to be packed up. After visiting the Eglise St. Laurent the illustrious party proceeded to Treport for a drive. When her Majesty had taken her place in the char-a-banc, King Louis Philippe pushed Prince Albert forward, who said, " he could not precede his Majesty." "Ah ! there is nothing of ' Ma jesty' necessary here," replied thegood-natured monarch, " get up." " But your Majesty will not have room be side the Queen." " True, true," said the King, "I am a little stout, but I will sit sideways." The cavalry regiment, the Carabiniers, left the town shortly after six o clock, and took the road towards Di eppe. About four miles from this place (Eu) they left the main road, and took up their ground on a large plain, where they awaited the arrival of the distinguished party at the Chateau, and on which they were to perform their evolutions. At seven o'clock his 1? oyal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Doke D'Au male and Montpensier, Prince Augustus of Saxe Coburg, and the French generals and staff, &c., came on the ground, and the military band immediately struck up " God save the Queen." The regiment was formed without delay, and went through a variety of manoeuvres with the precision and rapidity for which this branch of the French service is distinguished. They are a very fine body of men, and are mounted on excellent horses. Their accoutrements, brass cuirasses, and brazen helmets were very splendid. and when formed in line, their whole appearance was grand and warlike. At the conclusion of the review his Royal Highness Prince Albert thanked the gallant band for the satisfaction they had given him by their display of military tactics. His royal highness and the rest of the party then re mounted, and the cavalcade returned to the chateau about half-past nine o'clock, where a dejeuner was prepared. After this the royal party paid a visit to the Collegiate Church of the Virgin and St. Lawrence. It was known but to a very few that their Majesties were about to visit this church, and, consequently, there were not half a dozen persons therein when they arrived. The party, consisting of nearly all the members of the French Royal family, Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, Lords Aberdeen and Liverpool, M. Guizot, and suite, entered by the side door on the western side just at four o'clock, the Queen of England leaning on the arm of the King of the French, and the Queen of the French upon that of Prince Albert. Her Majesty wore a tartan dress, with black mantle and white silk bonnet ; the King was in plain clothes, the Princes in mufti. The Duchess of Orleans appeared, on entering the church, to he affected by some sudden recol lection, and was abcut to retire, when the Queen of the Belgians, taking her by the hand, led her towards the great altar. Her Royal Highness, the Queen of the French, and the Queen of the Belgians then kneeled arid continued for a short time in prayer, on rising from which it was apparent that the Duchess of Orleans had shed tears. The whole of the royal party then walked round the church, examining the various curiosities, &c., and afterwards descended into the crypt, in which the monu ments of the Counts d'Artois are placed. The crypt was lit by candles, so that everything it contained was easily to be inspected. Her ;Majesty Queen Victoria appeared very much interested in what she saw, and his Majesty Louis Philippe in his explanations acted as an experienced antiquary, evidently pleased in answering the questions put to him. On Wednesday it was believed the Royal Family of France would, on an invitation from our Queen, visit the Royal yacht off Treport, but the order of the day was changed, and the party enjoyed a drive in the Forest. The cortege left the Chateau by the gate of the Cour d'Honneur shortly after two o'clock, and passed along the road to the village of Madeleine, on its way to an open ing in the Forest called St. Catherine. It consisted of the same carriages in which their Majesties and the Royal party were conveyed to the Forest on Monday last. There were also the same led horses, &c. The Dukes d'Aumale and de Montpensier, the Prince de Joinville, and the Prince Augustus of Saxe Coburg, were on horse back, but his Royal Highness Prince Albert was in the char-a-bane with his Majesty Louis Philippe, and sat be side that Monarch on the first seat. On the second seat of this very commodious carriage were the Queens of France and England, and the Queen of the Belgians, and on the other seats the Princesses', &c. Lords Aberdeen and Liverpool, and M. Guizot, were all seated together on the first seat of the second carriage ; and on the other seats, both in this carriage and in the others, were the same distinguished persons who occupied them on the oc casion of the former fete. As the distance of St. Cathe rine is something further from the Chateau than the Mont d'Orleans, the Royal party did not arrive at the spot chosen in the Forest for the deljedner until near 4 o'clock. Here the tent or marquee used on the former occasion was erected, and preparations made as before for the amusement of the Royal and noble guests. Such scenes have rarely been witnessed in forests in these days. " Thy forests, Windsor, and thy green retreats, At once the Monarch and the Muses' seats," may have beheld something of this kind, and, most pro bably, will again, if it be true, as is here given out, that Louis Philippe is to return the visit of our gracious Queen. The royal party having partaken of refreshments, took their departure at half-past six. Precisely at eight o'Clock on Thursday morning, the Royal Party left Treport for the shores of England. The cortege from Eu consisted of seven carriages. Her Ma jesty wore a purple silk dress, silk bonnet, and Paisley Shawl. Prince Albert was in plain clothes. The Queen then took leave of her Royal host, the Queens of the French and the Belgians, and the whole of the French Royal Fa mily in the most affectionate manner. This scene was full of interest, and evinced the very warm regards which the respective parties felt for each other. King Louis Philippe and his family then left the Royal yacht, which immediately got under weigh, the gallant Captain Hall mounting the paddle-box and giving the signal to them, which was was responded to by the whole fleet in a rnaner only known to British seamen, as the vessel cut through the water. The cannons again pealed forth in thun ders of farewell, and the Monarchs sought their re spective shores ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY AT BRIGHTON. As it had become generally known that her Majesty had signified her intention of quitting the shores of France on Thursday, the inhabitants of Brighton quitted their homes as the morning advanced, and before one o'clock the beach was crowded 1 , 37 thousands of human beings. At a quarter to three o'clock, a single steamer hove in sight, coming in the direction from Treport. The vessel was probably some five miles off when first seen, for the great heat of the weather had caused a sort of haziness along the water, which prevented objects at any great distance from being observed. It was not long before this steamer was discovered to be the Royal yacht, and immediately a Royal salute was fired from the pier bead, and the splendid band of the Grenadier Guards on the esplanade struck up a martial air. In about half an hour more the Royal yacht was off the pier, having safely brought back the Sovereign of these realms to her native country. As the state of the tide did not permit the Royal yacht to come close to the pier, one of the boats was lowered, quickly manned, and pulled towards the landing-place at the pier, followed and surrounded by various small boats and pleasure yachts, the hearty cheers from which clearly enough indicated to the mere spectators that the Queen of England was approaching the shore. About halt-past three o'clock the Royal barge, in which were seated Her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Prince de Joinville, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Aberdeen, Lady Canning, the Hon. Miss Liddell, &c., reached the pier. A sort of sliding platform had been fitted to the pier steps on the west side to assist Her Majesty in landing, as it was so constructed that it could be raised or lowered with the tide. The contrivance, however, did not appear to please her Majesty, and it therefore became necessary to remove this platform before her Majesty could land, as it was cer tainly higher than convenient, owing, perhaps, to the water having fallen lower than was anticipated. In the mean time the exuberant loyalty of the crews in the various pleasure boats induced them to press around the Royal barge, and almost to bear it in ; which her Majesty ob serving and perhaps, fearing that some accident might occur, if any confusion arose among the vessels, signified, by waving her hand, her desire that they should keep at a greater distance ; an intimation which, it is needless to say, was as promptly obeyed as possible. The platform having been disengaged from the pier steps, her Majesty then stepped from the barge, and was received by Captain Sir Samuel Brown. Her Majesty, who, it was gratifying to observe, seemed to be in the enjoyment of the best health arid spirits, walked along the pier to the esplanade, with Prince Albert on tier right hand and the Prince de Jeinviilp on her left, and then stepped into her carriage, which was in waiting, amidst the hearty cheers from the assembled multitude. The women belonging to the bathing machines manifested their loyal feelings in a most striking manner, for they actually ran into the sea as the Queen was walking to shore, being seemingly desirous to meet their Sovereign half-way ; while they welcomed her home with boisterous huzzas. The appearance of the shore at this time was of a most remarkable and pictu resque kind. THE FIRST MEETING OF HER MAJESTY AND LOUIS PHILIPPE. — The correspondent of the Times says " I know not exactly how her Majesty felt after the first mo ment of her interview with King Louis Philippe, but the manner of his Majesty must have caused her some as tonishment, for in the outset he gave a specimen of his frankness which eery much alarmed the Jacks who were witnesses of it, and who began to think of cutlasses and handspikes, and coming to "the rescue." The moment the King set foot ou deck he took her Majesty in his arms, and saluted her on each cheek, and without waiting an instant for recovery from the surprise, descended into Lis barge with his precious burden. This produced the first laugh, and it has been reproduced, almost every mo ment since. CAN THE QUEEN LEAVE HER DOMINION S.—Among the numberless questions to which her Majesty's visit to the Continent has given rise, not a few have been mooted respecting the supposed incapacity of the Queen to leave her British dominions without the sanction of an express act of parliament. Some persons (upon what grounds it is difficult to conjecture) have maintained that the Prince of \Vales, and not her Majesty, is the person affected by this restriction. In order, therefore, to remove all doubt upon the subject, it is right to mention that the third clause in the Act of Settlement, which enacted " that no person who shall hereafter come to the possession of this crown shall go out of the dominions of England, Scot land, or Ireland, without consent of parliament," was re pealed very soon afterwards, in the first year of Geo. I, (Ist Geo. I, c. 31,) " whose frequent journeys to Han over," says Mr. Hallam, " were an abuse of the gracious ness with which the parliament consented to annul the restriction." THE ROYAL BIBLE.—On the recent occasion of the marriage of the Princess Augusta, among the bridal gifts which were offered to her Royal Highness by her friends was a Bible, most splendidly and appropriately bound in white vellum, illuminated, clasped, &c., from a lady of the highest rank. Lord Stuart de Rothsay, it would now appear, is about to retire from his embassy to St. Petersburg. His lord ship has for some time back been labouring under physi cal indisposition ; and the arduous duties of an embassy growing daily more important and delicate, will soon be an overmatch for his increasing infirmities. Fox PAS IN HIGH LIFE.—A Sunday paper says " The report which has been current in the circles of ton during the last fortnight, inculpating the matrimonial fidelity of Lady William Paget, and implicating in the dishonour of her husband the Earl of Cardigan, unfortu nately turns out to be too true. Lord William Paget has commenced an action against the former nobleman, and laid his damages at £20,000. Lady William has left her husband's roof. She is the mother of three children." POPULATION OF PARLIAMENTARY BOROUGHS.-By a list of the population of the parliamentary cities and boroughs and districts of boroughs returning members to parliament according to the census of 1841 (excluding in each case the inmates of all public institutions, barracks, &c.,) we find that the largest parliamentary borough pop ulation is that of the Tower Hamlets, 419,730; and the smallest, Bridgnorth (Salop), 1,931. The following arc the parliamentary boroughs whose population exceeds 100,000 : Tower Hamlets Marylebone Liverpool.. .. 419,730 .. 287,465 .. 282,656 Birmingham 181,161 Leeds Southwark Bristol. 123,188 London (city) 120,702 Sheffield Finsbury 265,043 Manchester 240,367 Westminster Lambeth TIIE IRON TRADE.—A few days ago an extensive sale of iron took place at the Horsley Iron Works, which was attended by the principal ironmasters of Staffordshire, and several large iron dealers from various parts of the country. The catalogue contained no less than 1,500 lots. The commonest pig iron fetched £2 12s. per ton, short weight, on the bank, and cold blast pig iron was sold for £3, short weight. One ironmaster bought 250 tons of common cast iron scrap at £2 Bs., short weight. These were the lowest prices that cast iron, in pigs and in scraps were sold at. Many lots of common cast scrap iron were sold at £2 lls. Bd., short weight; and the greater part of the iron sold was purchased by Staffordshire ironmasters. Such facts prove that the statements in the papers, that cast iron hot-blast is being sold at £1 18s. and £2 a ton, are erroneous. The price of No. 2, hot blast, long weight, on Thursday last, delivered into boat, was £2 17s. Gd. cash ; and one of the first houses of the dis trict, holding a stock of 3,000 tons, refused an order on Saturday for 400 tons at £2 18s. Gdr The very lowest price quoted on Thursday of No 1 pig-iron, delivered at Birmingham, was £3 10s., which is now advanced to £4. The price of nail rod iron quoted on Thursday was £5 12s. Gd., long weight. These are very gratifying in dications of a revival in the long depressed staple trade of Staffordshire ; and, we may add, that one house near Tip ton has received an order from Liverpool for 7,000 tons of castings for home consumption.—Birmingham Adver tiser.
