Parliamentarp Vz•orrOtngz. _..,._._____ HOUSE OF LORDS.—MoNbAY The Princess of Augusta's Annuity Bill was passed. Lord COTTEN RAM then moved for a select committee to inquire into the operation of the Bankruptcy Act of last session. The noble lord spoke at great length on the evils which that act produced, by allowing the effects of bankrupts to be administered in some instances at 70 or 100 miles away from the residence of the bankrupt and his creditors, leading to enormous expense and prejudicing smaller creditors to the benefit of the larger. The Lord CHANCELLOR opposed the motion, on the ground that it was taking the measure out of the hands of the government before sufficient time was given to judge by experience of its expediency. The motion was premature, and he trusted their lordships would not agree to it. Formerly the power of the commissioners extended forty miles round London, and so beneficial was its oper ation found to be that it was deemed expedient to extend the sphere of its activity. There were doubtless oppo nents to this plan, because it displaced 700 commissioners, and also had various other interests to oppose it, all of whom had it view that the old system should be re-esta blished. At pi esent he, in conjunction with those who were acting with him, was endeavouring to meet every difficulty and to remedy every abuse as it betrayed itself in the working of the bill. After a few - words from Lord BROUGHAM and other peers, the motion was negatived. On the motion of the Earl of ABERDEEN the house re solved itself into committee on the Scotch Church Bill. Lord CAMPBELL complained that the bill in its present re objectionable than it was when first .e house, and if it should pass it would prove the ruin of the Church of Scotland. The bill was a declaratory one, and he hoped the noble lord would not compel a majority of the house to vote that to be law was not law. He moved as an amendment that words " declared and " be omitted. The Lord CHANCELLOR supported the bill, which was not, he contended, open to the greater part of the ob jections urged by his noble and learned friend (Lord Cottenham.) The question before the house was one of Scotch law relating to the Church of Scotland, and upon which, therefore, the opinion of Scotch lawyers should have great weight. The bill had been therefore sub mitted to Lord Justice Clerk, to the Judge Advocate, and the Solicitor-General, who were of opinion that the bill was only declaratory of the law of Scotland, and was in no wise at variance with the judgment in the Auchter arder case. Upon a question of Scotch law he was very diffident in giving a decided opinion unless he heard it argued, but he was content to rest his opinion upon that of the very high Scotch authorities to whom he had re ferred, and whose weight fully justified his noble friend in pressing the persent measure, which he hoped would not be opposed by their lordships. Lord DENMAN said that the grounds upon which it was proposed to pass this declaratory law appeared to him to be in the highest degree alarming, for it went to declare that to be law which the highest judicial court in the kingdom declared not to be law. There could be no necessity to declare such an untruth, and be protested against the whole proceedings, for it appeared that the law was to be superseded by private declarations made by Scotch judges to the government. When the Lord Chancellor declined to give his own opinion upon this question, surely in the face of that fact they could not think of declaring that to be the law to which the highest legal authority would not venture to pledge his pro fessional character. After a few words from Lord CAMPBELL in reply, the amendment was defeated by a majority of 30 to 8. shape was f presented to HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY - • Sir R. PEEL said it was his intention to have the corre spondence laid upon the table of the house relative to the removal of the West India mail packets from Falmouth to Southampton. _ On the proposal of the first clause of the Irish arms bill, Lord J. RUSSELL said that he had voted for this bill up to the present point, believing an arms bill to be neces sary for Ireland, but the bill should be made consistent with that now in existence. It should not assume the shape of a coercion bill ; and unless the objectionable clauses were abandoned, be should vote against the bill on the third readi❑g. Lord ELIOT contended that, owing to a want of the means of identifying arms, the existing bill was not as efficient as it ought to be. He also challenged Lord J. Russell with not acting with his usual candour, in thus opposing a measure at the last moment which be had hitherto supported, and which, so far from being a coercion bill, was infinitely milder than a bill the noble lord him self supported while he was in power. A good deal of discussion took place on the clause, and after some divisions on amendments to that and to clause 2, they were both agreed to. Several other clauses were agreed to. Sir R. PEEL said/he never doubted the commercial and social advantages likely to result from the penny-postage system, and revenue considerations alone had caused bim to hesitate about the propriety of its adoption. He had before now given his testimony as to the abilities of Mr. Hill ; and if it were deemed desirable to continue his ser vices, the proper way would have been to make him se cretary to the Post-office. The character of Lord Lov;_ ther was a sufficient guarantee that the new system ',could he carried out in good faith, and the house might rest as sured that the whole influence of the Govermnent would be directed to aid the success of the system. After a reply from Sir T. WILDE, the motion, as amended, was agreed to. On the motion of Mr. MACKINNON, a select commit tee was appointed to inquire into the means and expedi ency of preventing the nuisance of smoke arising from fires or furnaces, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.-THURSDAY The scene in the House of Lords, which, from Lord Brougham's violence on Tuesday evening, might have been expected, did not " come off." Lord ABERDEEN briefly explained, that be had under stood his learned opponent to acquiesce in the course he had adopted, and to reserve his opposition for a future stage of the bill; and, as an evidence of his inclination to consult Lord Brougham's convenience, consented to a yet further postponement. . Lord BROUGHAM professed himself entirely satisfied with this explanation. The bill for the enclosure of Hampstead-heath having been withdrawn, their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF CONIMONS.-THURSDAY Almost the entire sitting was devoted to the proceed ings in committee on the Irish Arms Bill. The opposi tion to several clauses, particularly to that which provides for the affixing of a mark or brand on each weapon, was factious and vexatious in the extreme ; however, the most important clauses were got through i n th e course o f t h e • evening, HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY Messengers from the House of Commons brought up a request that their lordships would permit the attendance of the Duke of Wellington to give evidence before the shipwreck committee.--Leave was given for the attend ance of the Duke. Lord WHARNCLIFFE laid upon the table of the house copies of the correspondence with the Lord Chancellor of Ireland respecting the dismissal of Irish magistrates. The Earl of ABERDEEN then moved the second reading of the Apprehension of Offenders Bill, by which an inter national system of giving up offenders was to be esta blished with France and America. The bill, after some observations from Lords CAMP BELL and BROUGHAM, was read a second time, and their lordships soo❑ after adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY In reply to a question from Mr. H. HINDE, respecting the materials collected by the late Mr. Petre towards editing the collection of British Historians, Sir J. GRAHAM said that, in consequence of the delay in the labours of Mr. Petre, and without any disrespect to his memory, the Treasury, in 1836, had given him no tice that he need not persevere in his labours. It was, however, now proposed, with the sanction of the Master of the Rolls, to hand over to the Historical Society the materials he had left behind him ; and that society was about to publish a work in accordance with the design of Mr. Petre. In reply to a question from Mr. HAWES, Sir J. GRAHAM said that all the regulations respecting education in the Factories Bill, as it now stood, were com prised in four clauses. Those clauses altered the ages of the children employed from 9 to 13, as it is under the ex isting law to 8 and 13; they altered the number:of hours from eight to six and a half per diem, and gave a power to the committee of privy council on education to appoint inspectors of schools, and to withhold grants of money when they saw cause for so doing. Mr. GISBORNE then moved for a committee to inquire into the allegations of the petitions which had been pre sented to the house respecting Nottingham electioneering. The hon. member entered into a lengthened statement of the proceedings at the two or three last Nottingham elections, many of his inferences implicating to a con siderable extent the Earl of Lincoln, whose conduct, he said, could not be considered quite consistent with that of a high-minded man. Although the details of the bribery and corruption practised at those elections were by too means new, yet they were sufficiently deplorable and dis gusting, and presented a strong prima facie case for the necessity of granting a committee of inquiry. Lord LINCOLN entered upon a defence of his con duct, and said that corruption had taken such a firm bold of Nottingham that it could be only cured by disfranchisement, or by some arrangement by which the representation of that borough could be divided quietly between the contending parties. For his own - HOUSE OF COMMONS.—T UESDAY. part he had never done anythi ng e ith er t o corrup t or enslave, and he could safely assert that his father, Sir T.

The. marriage of her Royal Highness the Princess .e..:agusta, eldest daughter of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, with his Royal Highness Frederick, the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, was solemnized on Wed nes d a y even i ng , w i t h great splendour in the Chapel Royal, Buckingham Palace. The Ambassadors, Foreign Ministers, Cabinet Minis ters, and members of the Administration, began to arrive at eight o'clock, and assembled in the library. Their Excellencies appeared in their respective diplomatic cos tumes • the Lord Chancell or wore hi s go ld St a t e ro b e, the Duke of Wellington his Field Marshal's uniform, with the Riband and George of the most noble Order of the Garter (the latter set in brilliants), and the ensigns of the Golden Fleece; Sir R. Peel, Lord Wharncliffe, Lord Stanley, Sir J. Graham, Mr. Gladstone, Earl of Aber deen, and Sir E. Knatchbull, wore the full dress official costume ; the Earl of Haddington, a Lord Lieutenant's uniform, with the ensigns of the most illustrious Order of St. Patrick. The Dukes of Beaufort and Devonshire, the supporters of the Royal bridegroom, appeared—the former in a yeo manry uniform, and wearing the ensigns of the Garter; and the latter in his Lord-Lieutenant's uniform, and wearing the collar and star (the latter set in diamonds) of the Order of the Garter, and the Collar of another order of knighthood. Their Serene Highnesses Prince Peter and the Princess of Oldenburg, his Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburgh Strelitz, the Crown Prince of Wurtemberg, and his Majesty the King of Hanover, ar rived about eight o'clock. Her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta arrived at a quarter before nine o'clock, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George and the Princess Mary. The Princess was at tended by the Baroness de Normann. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were attended by Lady Augusta Somerset, Baron Knesebeck, and Major Stephens. The Royal Bride's dress was of very handsome Brussels point lace over white satin, looped on each shoulder with bouquets of orange blossoms, diamonds, and sapphires, and very elegantly ornamented in front with a border of orange blossoms and silver ; the train (of Spitalfields manufacture) was of the richest white satin and silver tissue, and was most tastefully trimmed down the sides and at the bottom with festoons of orange flowers, finished with a raised border of silver. It had an edging of deep point of lace, having the orange flower in the pattern. The Princess wore on her head a wreath composed of orange flowers and myrtle, and a tiara of sapphires and diamonds, and was covered with a very large and most beautiful veil of point lace, remarkable alike for its size and the elegance of its design. The lace handkerchief carried by her Royal Highness was a present from her august uncle, the King of Hanover. Of its kind it is perfectly unique, from the great beauty and costliness of the material. The initials of the Princess, surmounted by a coronet, had been i n t ro d uce d i n the design. Her Royal Highness wore a necklace of brilliants. The sto macher was of sapphires and diamonds, and ear-rings en suite. Her Majesty wore a petticoat of white net over white satin, trimmed with silver blonde and pearls. The train was lilac and silver-shot tissue, trimmed with silver blonde. The stomacher was trimmed with diamonds and pearls. The head-dress a tiara of diamonds. His Royal Highness Prince Albert wore a Field- Marshal's uniform, with the ensigns of the Orders of the Garter and of the Golden Fleece, the latter splendidly set in diamonds. All the company having arrived at nine o'clock, the Archbishop of Canterbury, followed by the Archbishop of York, the Bishop of London, and the rest of the clergy, entered the chapel, and took their places within the pre cincts of the altar. In about ten minutes the procession entered the chapel, a voluntary being performed on the organ. On her Majesty reaching the entrance to the chapel, her Majesty's private band, stationed in the Royal closet, under the direction of Mr. Anderson, performed the chorus in Handel's Coronation Anthem, " God save the Queen." Her Majesty seated herself on the north side of the altar, at the end of the haut pas. On the side of the Queen were Prince Albert, the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Duchess of Cambridge. Opposite to the Queen were the King and Queen of the Belgians, the Prince and Princess of Oldenburg, the Crown Prince of Wurtemburg, Prince Reuss Lobenstein Eberedorff, and Prince George of Cambridge. The Prin cess Augusta of Cambridge, and the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz, stood in front of the altar, the Princess supported by the Duke of Cambridge, and the Grand Duke by the King of Hanover. The Arch. bishop of Canterbury, having the Archbishop of York and the Bishop of Norwich on his left hand. and the Bishop of London on his right, then commenced the ceremony. The responses of the bridegroom were given in a clear distinct voice, but those of the Princess were scarcely audible. Sir George Smart presided at the organ. At the conclusion of the ceremony the bride approached the Queen, and was saluted by her Majesty, as also by the Duchesses of Kent, Gloucester, and Cambridge. The Grand Duke received the congratulations of all those about the altar. The Royal bride and bridegroom then left the chapel, attended by their suite, and were so on f o ll owe d b y her Majesty and the res t o f her illustrious relatives and visi tors to the great dining-room, where the registration of the marriage was made, and was attested by the august and illustrious relatives, and by the Ministers and officers of State. The benchers of the Inner Temple will give a grand en tertainment to the King of Hanover on Wednesday the sth of Jul. Her Majesty the Queen contemplates a visit, in August next, to Warwick Castle, which is undergoing the most extensive embellishment that the taste of metropolitan and local artists can accomplish. At her Majesty's Theatre, on Saturday last, three queens were beheld in the same box, her Majesty the Queen, the Queen Dowager, and the Queen of the Belgians. An elegantly-wrought counterpane, made by the in mates of the Royal Victoria Asylum for the blind, in Newcastle• on-Tyne, having been forwarded to the Duchess of Kent, her royal highness most kindly consented to pre sent it to her Majesty, and a letter has been received from Sir Henry Wheatley, stating that her Majesty has been most graciously pleased to accept the same. Her Grace the Duchess of Northumberland has given a dona tion of five pounds to the funds of the institution, and has been pleased to accept one of the beautiful shawls wrought by the inmates.

The annual meeting of the Manchester Ten Churches' Association was held on Tuesday. £60,000 have been collected since its establishment, and £21,000 more was required to carry out the scheme as originally submitted to the public. REV. H. E. HEAD, OF HONITON.—ID consequence of this clergyman's suspension in accordance with the sen tence lately pronounced in the cause prosecuted against him by the Bishop of Exeter, he preached his farewell sermon on Sunday, 18th of June, taking as his text the words, " The first principles of the oracles of God." We learn from authority on which we can rely, that the appointment of an archdeacon to the proposed bishopric of Manchester has been made, and that the choice has fallen upon a most zealous and indefatigable clergyman, who has devoted his energies unsparingly to the promo tion of the best interests of the establishment.—Maccles field Courier. CONTRIBUTIONS BY CHURCHMEN.-At the annual meeting of the Ten Churches' Association, Manchester, on Tuesday, the Hugh Stowell, adverting to the voluntary efforts of the members of the Established Church, said that they had, in the last ten years, raised no less than three millions sterling to circulate the truth at home and abroad. NEW CHURCHES.—On Wednesday last the Bishop of Chester consecrated a new church on Stretford new road, Manchester. It is dedicated to the Holy Trinity, and has been erected through the munificent donation of £lO,OOO, from Miss Atherton, of Kersall ; and on the following day, the bishop consecrated two new churches in the neighbourhood of Bury; All Saints, Elton, and St. George's, Unsworth. DR. PUSSY.—Notwithstanding all that has been said as to the difference of opinion between the six doctors, it hs a positive fact that they were unanimous in agreeing that the parts of the sermon complained of were dissonant and contrary to the doctrines of the Church of England ; and it is no less true that communication after communi cation with Dr. Pusey took place through the medium of a friend ; so that the tale of never having had a hearing is extremely disingenuous.—Standard. The University of Oxford has conferred the degree of Doctor in Civil Law on Mr. Everett, the American Minister, and Professor Daniell, of King's College, Lon don. Mr. Everett was formerly an Unitarian preacher in the United States. At the time when his name was proposed by the Vice Chancellor, the under graduates began to hiss an unpopular proctor, which prevented the non-placets, of which there were several, from being heard. A protest against the legality of the deree so conferred has since been signed by nearly forty megmbers of the University. DR. PUSEY'S SERMON.—We have not yet seen a copy of this much canvassed production. The preface to the sermon, however, appears in the Times of yesterday. The doctor says that th e " sacre d subject of the Holy Eucharist " came in the order of a course of sermons which he was delivering on the comforts provided by the gospel for the penitent, and that it was his object to point out the " comforting character of the eucharist in two ways; Ist, indirectly, because it is the body and blood of his Lord, and is the channel of his blessed presence to the soul : 2nd, because, in holy scripture, the remission of sins is connected with it." The following paragraph is all we can extract from the preface, which is only short. " Once more to repeat my meaning, in order to relieve any difficulties which might (if so be) be entertained by pious minds, trained in an opposed and defective system of teaching before whom the sermon may now be brought. My own views were cast (so to speak) in the mould of the minds of Bishop Andrews and Archbishop Brarnhall, which I regarded as the type of the teaching of our church. From them originally, and with them, I learned to receive in their literal sense, our blessed Lord's solemn words, " This is my body," and from them, while I be lieve the consecrated elements to become, by virtue of His consecrating words, truly and really, yet spir and in an ineff a bl e way, Hi s b ody and blood, I learn itually ed also to withhold my thoughts as to the mode of this great mystery, but, " a s a mystery, " to " adore it." With the fathers then, and our own great divines, (explaining, as I believe, the true meaning of our church,) I could not but speak of the consecrated elements as being what, since he has so called them, I believe them to become his body and blood ; and I feared not, that, using their lan gnage, I should, when speaking of Divine and " spiritual" things, be thought to mean otherwise than " spiritually," or having disclaimed all thoughts as to the mode of their being, that any should suppose I meant a mode which our church disallows." It wonld appear that an appendix accompanies the sermon, giving, as was anticipated, a number of extracts from ancient divines. CHURCH OF SCOTLAND.—The following is given by the Scotsman as an estimate of the emoluments surrendered by the clergymen who seceded from the Church of Scot land :—" The stipend, in the lowest class of livings in our Established Church, is £l5B 6s. Bd. ; and the manse and glebe being valued on an average at £4l 13s. 4d., the poorest benefice is worth £2OO per annum. Where the teind (tithes) are exhausted, and do not yield £l5B 6s. Bd., the deficiency is supplied from the Exchequer. There were 196 out-parishes where the teinds were exhausted, but yielded £255, including manse and glebe; and 470 parishes, with free teinds, yielding a b out £ 282. The average of 872 li v i ngs paid from teinds and Exchequer grants was £257, including manse and glebe. The value of the livings in towns, which are paid from taxes, seat rents, or burgh funds, may average about £350 per annum. These data being premised, the incomes given up may be estimated as follow :- 267 parochial ministers, at £370 each ...... £72,000 17 parliamentary ditto, whose stipend, we believe, is £l2O 17 assistants, say £6O 164 quoad sacra ministers, say £125 4 professors, say £400.. 2,040 1,020 20,500 1,500 97,250 The aggregate o f th e i ncomes surrendered may,£ therefore, be estimated. in round numbers at £lOO,OOO, which is two-fifths of the whole revenue of the church. The average for each of the 469 individuals is £207. Many of the seceding ministers are among the best paid in the establishment." The Duke of Sutherland resists all entreaties of the free presbyterians to grant them sites for the erection of meeting-houses on his estates in Scotland. Machin being nominated, the vicar, without putting the question to a show of hands, or waiting for any expression of opinion from the meeting, announced that he would appoint twelve persons to take a poll, and immediately appointed six poll-clerks, all in the interest of Machin ; and, subsequently, six others. He declined, when asked, to say how long he would keep the poll open. The poll commenced about half-past eleven on the following day, and closed at half-past one o'clock (two hours), votes being taken rapidly during that time, and almost without intermission. About half-past twelve o'clock, Mr. Suck ling, an attorney, in the interest of the vicar, having as certained from a poll-clerk that Mr. Machin then stood " very well" or ` 1 all right" on the poll, said he would go to the vicar and get him to close the poll as soon as possible. At this time nearly all the votes for Machin had been given ; and, during the hour that the poll re mained open, the votes for Oliver continued to increase in the proportion of four to one to those for Machin ; and when the poll was closed a very great number of persons had not voted who came subsequently to vote for Oliver. The total number of voters in the parish is 11,000, but it was said that 2,500 only had paid their rates. On the poll there appeared 225 persons voting for Machin, and 479 for Oliver ; but, on the scrutiny, it appeared that the votes were, for 'Machin, 450; Oliver, 300; majority for Machin, 153. Mr. Hill, in support of the mandamus for a new election, referred to Lord Denman, who, in giving judgment in the Manchester case of the election of church wardens, the King v. Archdeacon of Chester, had much relied on the time for closing the poll being part of the original appointment ; so that nobody could be deceived. The Vicar of Aston had kept the poll open two days in 1842, and he should have given notice if he meant to close it in two hours in 1843. He argued from the affidavit that the poll was not slack, and that the voting for Oliver was increasing and that for Machin diminishing at that time. At one o'clock only 350 had voted for Oliver, and 225 for Machin; and at half-past one the numbers were, Oliver 479, Machin 225, so that Machin had only taken 30 votes while Oliver had taken more than 200, and that moment the poll was stopped. Lord Denman, stopping Mr. Hill, said that the last fact entitled him to have the rule for a mandamus made absolute.—Rule absolute. FASHIONS FOR JULY The materials most in request from the promenade are taffetas in plaids of various colours, .foulards of small checks in three shades, taffetas and bareqes striped. Silks shot in three colours are the most admired, and this style is adapted equally for taffetas ' watered silks and peki ns ; chine plaids ha ve succeeded the rich brocades of winter, and they are worn without trimmings, the richness of their colours requiring no ornament. Barge is decidedly the favourite material of the season ; there is much variety in them, satin stripes, stripes a jours, bouquets forming co lonnes, &c. &c. ; the style of make rather decides their use as to neglige or dress. Tucks are generally preferred for them, which are often edged with lace or fringe. Deep flounces continue in favour, when in silk they are pinked, lighter materials are festonne's in worsted or silk ; ruches of tulle are pretty for dresses of coloured tarlatane. For young ladies, blouses a la Rachel of very clear muslin, are' made resembling the Roman tunic. Blouses peig noirs of white batiste and made also with corsages a la Vierge. Robes of carnelian silk are with three deep flounces en biais, giving the effect of triple skirts ;—high bodies are very much worn, and the points are decidedly rounding; the backs are either plain or with fulness in the centre ; the gathers of the skirt are not so full over the hips, and a smaller tournure appears likely to be in troduced. Many dresses are ornamented in the tablier style, but gimp is much replaced by ruches of ribbon ; for dress, the ruches are of gauze or lace, for watered silks and drogu els gimp and braid continue to be used ; frange dentelle, a new style of trimming, is also used. Cannezous com posed of inlets of lace and embroidery are much in demand just now, as well as the fichu Marie Antoi ne tt e. Cein tures are either worn with a buckie or of ribbon with long ends. Scarfs Catalanes, mantelets Pompadour, mantilles a la vieille, mantillee Marie Antoinette with flat ruches, &c. &c. are all now in favour : the mantelets a la duchesse are much improved ; they are lined with pink or blue, and trimmed with lace, having double heading surmounted by embroidery in application. Black lace bonnets are quite superseded by those of white lace, crape bonnets are small, and mostly white, ornamented with bluebells. Open straws are lined with colour, having feathers to match. Capotes of poult de soie of the ecru colour are also lined with silk, and organ.. dys with lilac or blue gauze. Some bonnets, particularly straws, are simply ornamented with the flat ribbon ruche. Capotes of paille de riz have been made with crowns of plaid silk.—London and Paris Magazine. LAW INTELLIGENCE. It appears from a letter in the Northern Star of last Saturday, that Mr. O'Connor has served a writ in a civil action for libels published against him in the Times news paper, in connection with the two last Nottingham elec tions. THE YORKSHIRE ASSIZES. —We understand that there are upwards of one hundred prisoners in York Castle for trial at the ensuing assizes, which commence on Wednes day, the 12th instant, although only three months have elapsed since the last assizes terminated.

The repeal rent for the week before last, amounted to £1.259 3s. 91d. A man of the name of James O'Donnell was killed on the 18th instant, by lightning, near Mayo, in Ireland. The Protestants throughout Ireland have determined to avoid all processions and displays on the anniversaries during the present month. The Belfast papers state that all the women in the barracks were on Monday ordered to leave, and take up their quarters outside the walls. According to Lord Nonteagle, an illicit still, with all the necessary apparatus, may be purchased in Ireland for £3, or hired at half-a• crown per brewing. The Mayo Constitution records the death of a woman from the effects of a fright caused by a thunder storm. She was found in an upright position against the wall, without any marks of injury except her hair being slightly singed. TEA LEAD FOR IRISH REPEALERS.—We are in pos session of certain information that money has been sent over from reprealers to H alifax to purchase tea-lead of the grocers and tea-dealers of this town, which is to be sent over to Ireland for the use of the Repealers. In one in stance, last week, upwards of £6 was sent to one man for this purpose.—Halifax Guardian. The Rev. Dr. Drew in a letter addressed to a Dublin paper, states, that whilst £2,439 2s. 9d. is annually re mitted from England in aid of the Hibernian Female School Society, (solely for the benefit of the Irish poor) not one hundred pounds per annum is contributed by Ireland. What a comment on O'Connell's abuse of the English ! MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.---011 Saturday last, a me lancholy accident occurred in the canal boat from Killaloe to Limerick. A presbyterian clergyman and his wife were amongst the passengers; and when within a few miles of Limerick, the former looked out through one of the cabin windows, but before he could withdraw from it, the boat reached one of the locks, and, sad to relate, the unfortunate gentleman had his head literally dashed to atoms !—Tipperary Constitution. The number of magistrates in Ireland who have been superseded, in consequence of the Repeal agitation, since the Ist of May, is 48, namely 28 by authority of the Go vernment, and 20 at their own request. Of the latter, two, G. Delany, Esq., and W. F. Finn, Esq., in the county of Kilkenny, have been reinstated. Messrs. Daniel and Maurice O'Oonnell are among the number of those removed by the Government; and Mr. Charles O'Connell is one of those removed at their own request. WHAT BECOMES OF THE REPEAL RENT.---All Irish correspondent states that the repeal rent now exceeds upwards of £20,000; and that a division of this spoil has just been arranged. What may be the share of Mr. O'Connell is a profound secret; but the services of Mr. Maurice O'Connell, M.P., as warden of one province of Ireland, are, he assures us, to be rewarded with £2,000, "say two thousand pounds ;" and those of Mr. Dillon Browne, M•P., in a similar capacity with £l,OOO. To another O'Connell who is inspector -general of the re peal lodges in England," four guineas a week are assig ned. THE " CROWNING" JOKE.—lt has been already stated, and the statement remains undenied, that the Romish Bishops have given orders to insert the name of Daniel the First next after the name of her Majesty in the Prayer book. This, however, was only the first step towards the actual assumption of royalty. A second is thus an nounced by a provincial paper :—" A medal about the size of a crown piece has just been struck in honour of Daniel the First. On one side is a bust of the Liberator, with the words, Daniel O'Co nne ll, E sq., M . P ., ' and on the reverse is a wreath of shamrocks, with the inscription above, ' Ireland expects every man to do his dut' and below, next?" Repeal of th e l eg i s l at i ve un i on.

The total quantity of sugar imported from the sth of January to the sth of June, 1843, is 1,650,795 cwt. ; the total for the corresponding period, 1842, was 1,530,130 cwt. The amount of foreign sugar imported during those five months in 1843 is 207,512 cwt. ; in 1812 it was 108,266 cwt. The quantity of foreigh sugar entered for home consumption entered in the first five months of 1842 was 71 cwt. ; in 1843 it is 31 cwt.

FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDEN r.—Loss OF NINE LIVES. —We regret to announce that on Monday evening, at one of the pits belonging to the Fenton Park Company, situ ate at the back of the china manufactory of Messrs. Green and Richards, of Fenton, an explosion of fire-damp occur red, which was attended with the loss of nine lives. The cause of the accident is ascribed to the imprudence of one of the sufferers, who shut to a door, which, when re-open ed, caused such a rush of foul air towards the shaft of the pit, as ignited by the candles by which the men were lighting themselves. Two of the sufferers lost their lives by going to the assistance of those who fell victims to the explosion. An accident of so shocking a nature has not hapened in the Potteries for many years. EXHIBITION OF CARTOONS IN WESTMINSTER HALL. —This exhibition, the result of the prizes offered by the Royal Commission for the Encouragement of the Fine Arts, with a view to the decoration of the interior of the new Houses of Parliament, has been opened to the pub lic. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by the King and Queen of the Belgians, and other illustrious foreigners, viewed it on Friday. There are one hundred and forty subjects altogether, and the sizes vary from 15ft. to 10ft. square, none being admitted over or under that standard. The subjects are chiefly from British his tory, embracing many of the most important incidents in the annals of our country. Shakspeare and Spencer's Fairy Queen have also afforded several specimens of great beauty. The prizes have been awarded to the successful competitors by the judges appointed by the royal com mission ; and we publish the names of the artists and the subjects of their cartoons :—Prizes of £300: Armitage (Landing of Julius Caesar) ; Watts (C Rome) ; Cope (th e fi rst Trial by Jury).— aractacus Prizes o f f £200: Horsley (St. Augustine preaching before Ethel bert and Bertha, his Christian Queen) ; Bell (Queen Margaret taking Sanctuary at Westminster) ; Townsend (the Fight for the Beacon).—Prizes of £lOO : Parris (Joseph of Arimathaea) ; Severn (King Edward and Queen Eleanor) ; Bridges (Alfred presenting his Code of Laws to the Witan) ; Frost (Una surprised by the Fauns and Satyrs ; Selous (Boadicea).—The judges were the Marquis of Lansdowne, Sir R.

Cobden:is aenou onde eye to s own gene interests as a manufacturer. We w gh his r that, in his late attack on our colonies, he should have quite overlooked a consideration of which, in the earlier years of the anti corr.-law agitation, we thought we should never hear an end. We were then told that the mere amount of our exports to any country was no proof of the prosperity of our manufactures,—that some sorts of exports, as for instance of goods upon which little labour has been be stowed, were in reality ruinous to us —and we derived little or no profit except from the export of finished manufactures and goods into the value of which much labour has entered. Now, assuming all this to be cor rect, let us ask, which, on this supposition, is the best customer for our manufactures —the foreigner or the colonist ? The answer must be, the colonist. We take up one of the returns moved for by the anti-corn-law agitators, " a table showing the value of British produce and manufactures exported to various quarters of the world in 1827 and 1838, distinguishing finished manu factures and goods into the value of which much labour has entered, from materials of manufacture, and goods upon which but little labour has been bestowed." From this table we find that of the exports to our colonies, the centesimal proportion of those on which little labour has been bestowed is only 15.45 ; while of the export to foreign countries, the same proportion is not less than 30.28. The figures, which speak for themselves, are these : Much labour.
