Senate upon that measure. The third day's proceedings of the Nashville Conven tion (slavery) consisted of the presentation, of resolutions, all embodying exclusively Southern sentiments and some of the moat ultra character. A general willingness, how ever,'was expressed to accept, as a compromise upon the slavery question between the North and South, the Mis souri line of 36.30. Steamer Cherokee, with dates from California to May l, arrived on the evening of Wednesday the sth instant. She brought upwards of one and one-half million dollars in gold dust, and one hundred and forty-two passengers. An excited feeling is beginning to manifest itself through out,the country at the delay of Congress in admitting the new state to the union. The Legislative had adjourned. In the towns, business generally was steadily improving, and the accounts from the gold districts are quite as en couraging as at any previous time. Vast numbers, how ever, are returning by every steamer with disappointed hopes ; and, toolrequently, with broken down consti tutions. Provisions were selling at barely remunerative prices,; but for , timber, hardware, dry goods, clothing, &c, the markets are overstocked, and prices were ex tremely low. The . British steamer Driver was preparing to sail for Valparaiso with about one million dollars in gold dust. A serious riot, involving the lives of several persons, recently occurred at Panama, and was only suppressed by the united efforts of the local government and the consuls of the several governments. America's news reached New Orleans, per telegraph, on Wednesday the sth instant, for the three days previous to which the cotton market had been very inactive, the sales not exceeding 4,000 bales. The following day sales amounted to 4,500 bales, at llic. for middling. The British brig, Ellen and Margaret, from Castle town, Ireland, detained at Boston last week, owing to an infringement of the .passenger act, has been, or speedily will be, it is said, released by the President of the United States. _ At a meeting of the citizens of Toronto, Canada, on the sth, it was decided that the city should not subscribe for stock in the Huron.. Railroad Company. Father Mathew, at last accounts, was at Natchez, Miss., the guest of Bishop Chance. Exchange on England had been in fair demand, and sales had been made at from 1091 to 110* ; the bulk of the business, however, was at 1091 a 110. Francs were dull at quotations, the demand being principally confined to sight drafts. The news from Europe, or the late advices from the Tsland of Cuba, had not produced any marked effect upon the New York money market. Capital is superabundant, at low rates. TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH. _ _ NEW YORK, THURSDAY, NooN, JUNE _l3. All danger of a rupture between Spain and the United States has been removed. The questions relative to the Contoy prisoners are to be settled by Mr. Clayton arid Senor de Calderon, the Spanish Minister, at Washington. Nine of the invaders had been shot, and there are thir teen prisoners now remaining in Moro. Castle. The proceedings of Congress and of the Slavery Con vention at Nashville, since the departure of the Asia, are devoid of interest. Toronto, Canada, June 12.—Sir Allan MacNab's mo tion to amend the indemnity losses bill of last session has been negatived in the House of Assembly by the decisive vote of 35 to 16. COMMERCIAL.—The Canada's news, as given in the telegraph despatch to the Associated Press, yesterday, has imparted great firmness to our markets, especially for Cotton. Three thousand bales were sold on Tuesday at full prices, and in some cases an advance of was paid over the published quotations that go out by the Asia. On Wednesday the sales were 3,200 bales, and prices fur ther advanced 1. About one-half of the sales were on speculation. Our advices from the South this morning continue of a most disastrous character for the growing cotton crop. On examination, large portions of seed are found to have rotted during the long-continued wet weather ; and this is said, on good authority, to be the case in nearly all cotton-growing sections, except Middle Florida, where the prospects are very good, but which will yield only about 37,000 bales. Flour continues very firm at the quotations of Tuesday, with a fair demand. Indian Corn has receded two cents. per bushel since the Asia left. Provisions are unchanged in prices, but are very arm. Brig Belle Poule, from Monorca, arrived at New York yesterday. WEST INDIES. The West India Mail steamer Severn arrived on Thes. day at 10 30 a.m, She brings 60,000 dollars on a ccour of the Mexican Dividends. JAMAICA, 23rd May.—The markets unchanged. Bu siness dull. Exchange on London Jamaica Bank, 90 days, par. The wet season had set in, and the crops ge nerally presented an improving appearance. HAVANNAH, MAY 27.—Cholera very much decreased. Prices of produce not affected. Business in imports suf fered a good deal, and alse from the-excitement oaused by the landing of General Lopez and his expedition.— Tobacco crop large, and of good quality; prices moderate. -About 140 prisoners taken. into Havana by the Spanish Admiral, were in close confinement. The Captain- General of Cuba refused to supply their names to the senior officer of the American squadron, or to per mit him to have any intercourse with them. St lago de Cuba has• been put into thorough repair and state of defence in the anticipation, it is believed, of an at tack from another section of the Lopez expedition.— No apprehensions for the safety of the city were enter tained in Havana. Sugar firmly quoted. Weather in a great degree unfavourable for grinding, and the crop will fall considerably short of the original estimate. Trans actions in Coffee trifling. Vessels were abundant.—Ex change on London, 11 pm.; On Paris 21 dis. The Archbishop of Lemburgh has prohibited his clergy from wearing long hair like the peasants, and from smok ing in public " like demagogues and sons of Baal." A Paris letter says, " Louis Napoleon finds that, what with race-horses, stables, card-playing, Mrs. Howard, et hoc genus omne, £24,000 is a very poor income for a man of spirit." Letters from Leghorn mention that a good deal of quicksilver is now coming from a mine in the neighbour hood of that city. 5,000 cwt. put up in iron bottles had been sold at lir. 3.17.8, or about 3s. 7kd. sterling per lb. on board. Horace Vernet is painting, at Versailles, a most singu lar picture. The guillotine occupies a prominent space. A heap of headless bodies are lying about, but the axe is at rest, for the executioner is supposed to have beheaded himself. _ _ _ The health of the Queen of Spain continued satisfac tory. Her Majesty, having entered the ninth month of her pregnancy, had commenced, according to an ancient usage, a pilgrimage to the nine churches dedicated to the Virgin Mary. GOLD MINES IN CENTRAL AMERICA.—The Trinidad papers state that excitement had been created in Port of Spain by the receipt of a circular fully confirming previous accounts of gold in large quantities having been disco vered in the Yuruary river, district of Upata, in Angos tura, of Columbia, province of Carthagena. A rich mine is said to have been opened, from which samples had been obtained in gold dust and grain of various sizes. Of the latter the average size was that of the coffee berry, and the standard of fineness was 24 carats. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A JUDGE.—Whilst the Supreme Court of Denmark was sitting on the 11th at Copenha gen, a violent wind suddenly forced open a large window just behind the president, M. de Louzow. The president hastened to shut it, but just as he had caught hold of it, he made a false step, lost his balance, and fell to the pavement below. The court, being on the first floor, the height was considerable, and the unfortunate judge frac tured his skull. He was conveyed to his residence in a desperate state. He is 62 years of age, a privy councillor, and a member of the First Chamber of the Diet. A SUTTEE.—The Bombay Telegraph just received gives the. following account of a suttee in the presidency : "The suttee occurred at a village about 20 miles from the Cutcherry. The husband was an old man upwards of 60 years of age, and the unfortunate woman quite young say 22 or 23. The patell of the village came in to the collector to give information that such an event was to be apprehended, and expressed a wish to have a guard sent with him to prevent the sacrifice. The guard was given to the man at once, who returned immediately and with all despatch, but found, on his arriving at the village, that the woman's object bad been effected in his absence, and all that remained was a heap of ashes. All who were known to have have been present at the suttee were ap prehended and tried by the district Judge ; 19 or 20 were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment, from ten to two years. No one seems to have advised the woman—it was her own act, dictated and carried through of her own free will. The parties were all of low caste ; the husband of the woman was a spurious Brahmin, and by no stretch of the Hindoo law, or rather traditions, could have been en titled to such a sacrifice on the part of his widow." LOVE, MURDER, AND SUICIDE.—The following tragical incidents are related in the French papers :—About three years ago a tradesman, inhabiting the Quartier Breda, destroyed himself in a fit of desperation, after having written a letter in which he declared that his reason for making away with himself was that he could not survive the knowledge'of his dishonour. .A thousand reports were current at the time as to the precise cause which led to the catastrophe. When the husband was dead a liaison sprung up, and was almost publicly acknowledged be tween his widow and a young man in the neighbourhood, but satiety was soon followed by coldness and scenes of reproach, caused by the jealousy of the widow, whose lover seemed to neglect her more and more every day. The intimacy between them still continued, however, not withstanding the clouds which so frequently disturbed its course, and the young man was accustomed to take his meals almost daily at the house of his mistress. On Thursday last he had dined there as usual, when, having scarcely risen from table, he was seized with burning pains and vomitings, sufficiently alarming in their character to cause the assistance of a medical man to be called in. Immediately on his arrival, at the first examination of the patient's count enance and of the substances vomited by him, the man of science suipected the case to be one of poisoning. His treatment was that usually resorted to in such cases ; 'but in spite of the promptitute and energy of the measures adopted the patient expired, accusing his mistress of the deed. As for the individual in question, as soon as the first symptoms of poison appeared, she be came completely wild, and when her lover was dead she appeared struck with terror, shut herself up in her apart ment, and refused all assistance or consolation. She re mained thus secluded during two days, when suddenly the neighbours heard proceeding from her lodging the sound of an exploded fire:-arm. The doors were broken open. and the commissary of police summoned. On his arrival all that was found was a lifeless corpse. The unfortunate woman had shot herself through the heart with the same pistol with which three years ago her wretched husband h i d terminated his existence. iprorrellings In Varliaintitt. HOUSE OF LORDS.—TUESDAY. Two clauses were added, on the motion of the Marquis of llTjusrm EATH, to the the Irish Encumbered Estates Act Amend ment Bill, after which the bill was read a third time and passed. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE gave notice that, on Tuesday, le should move for the appointment of a committee on the sublect of proper accommodation to Foreign Ministers who wished to be present during the business in that house. His lordship made an apologetic allusion to that inhospitable esca pade of Lord Brougham, which offensively expelled the Prus sian Minister, on the preceding night, from a seat which that respected nobleman had naturally supposed he had a right to occupy. Their lordships then adjourned till Friday. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY. The House was chiefly occupied in the discussion of a motion of Mr. IlitionT's, for a commission to inquire into the obsta cles that prevented the growth of cotton in India, urging the importance of the question to the manufacturer, who could not rely safely on the fluctuating supply from America. The motion was opposed by Sir J. HOBHOUSE and Sir J. liooo, as likely to lead to no good, both appearing to doubt, after the experiments that had been tried, the probability of anything like a supply being obtained. The motion was with drawn, and some bills advanced a stage. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. The motion for the second reading of the School Establish ment (Scotland) Bill was, after a discussion, rejected by a ma jority of 100 to 94. Mr. SOTHERON having moved the second reading of the Friendly Societies' Bill, Mr. ROEBUCK urged that the measure being such an impor tant one, the Government ought to take it into their own lands, to give the working classes an assurance titat their sights were secure. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought it far better that the bill should proceed from private members. He felt that there were many objections to some of its details, but they mi.ght be remedied in committee. Tbe bA 11 was then read a second time. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TounsDAY. THE MINISTERIAL DEFEAT IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS. Mr. ROEBUCK asked Lord J. Russell what course the govern ment intended to purue in consequence of the result of the debate in the House of Lords on Monday. Lord J. RUSSELL read the resolution submitted by Lord Stanley, and agreed to by the House of Lords, and said he could not assent to the interpretation which that resolution placed upon the law of nations. The noble lord was proceed ing, when Mr. DISRAELI rose to order, and said the noble lord, instead 10f answering the question, was entering into a discussion of what took place in the House of Lords—a discussion for which he might find a more fitting opportunity. Hon. members on both sides of the house here betrayed con siderable excitement. Lord J. RUssELL said the question was very short, but it was also very general, and he must therefore answer it as he was about to do, or remain altogether silent. (Cries of "Go en.") The first part of the resolution he disagreed with alto gether. The second part was a censure on the government, anl he would at once say they were not going in any way to alter their foreign policy in consequence of that resolution. "Ile was not prepared to resign the government of the country into the hands of those who were prepared to act upon that re solution. The noble lord quoted former precedents, one 140 years ago, and another during the administration of Earl Grey, in which such censures coming from the House of Lords bad been disregarded; and he believed in adopting that line of policy, they had conferred an important service i on the country.. :Mr. Disraeli, who had interrupted him , was n close political connexion with Lord Stanley, and he might, had he chosen, have moved a similar resolution in that house, had he believed in its soundness. He would the more certainly have adopted this course, because in that house sat the minister who was respon sible for every proceeding of the government. He repeated that the government would persevere in its foreign policy, and if the hon. and learned member wished to found a motion upon the subject, he would take care he should have the earliest possible day for bringing it forward. (Cheers.) Mr. DISRAELI said the reason the question was not brought forward in the house was because discussion was always depre cated on the ground of pending negociations. He begged to inform the noble lord that there was no want of sympathy and concurrence between the gentlemen around him and Lord Stanley, and he should be prepared to defend the resolution of the noble lord whenever it should be brought under discussion. Mr. ROEBUCK said he would, on Monday, move a resolution Upon this question, because he believed the condition of the government was crippled by the vote of the House of Lords, and it became therefore necessary that the world should know whether her Majesty's government enjoyed the confidence of the people. He would move the following resolution :- 41 That the principles which have hitherto regulated the foreir,n policy of her Majesty's government are such as were required to preserve untarnished the honour and dignity of this country, and at all times best calculated to maintain peace between this country and the various nations of the world." HOUSE OF LORDS.--FRIDAY. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE then moved the appointment of a committee to decide upon the accommodation that could be provided during debates in the House of Lords for the =embers of the corps diplomatiquc. Lord BROUGHAM made some remarks, partly apologetic and partly explanatory, of his own conduct on Monday evening, in procuring the expulsion from the gallery of a distinguished representative of a foreign court. In course of his address the noble lord drew a distinction between the respect to be paid to an ambassador, who represented his sovereign, and an envoy, who represented only a minister. He complained that his demeanour on the occasion in question had been most grossly misrepresented in language the least incle ‘o ous he had ever seen. - - . - . . Earl GREY took some blame to himself for not having inter fered at the time, but explained his omission by the sudden ness with which the affair transpired. • Lord BROUGHANI said be had- taken up to the gallery two ladies, peeresses, and another, a . peer's daughter, who, bein,,o• married, had therefore lost her right to a place; and be had only sought to obtain a seat for a viscountess, a near relation of the noble lord the foreign secretary, whose right was unde niable under the order of the House. The Marquis of BREADALBA N E said, he conceived the noble and learned lord, in his excitement and his anxiety to accom modate the noble lames who could not obtain seats, might have addressed the gentleman in question in a manner which was not quite what might have been desired. For instance, lad not the noble and learned lord said to him—" Now you will come down"?—(Hear, hear.) Lord BROUGHAM (with jreat emphasis)—No, no. Was the noble lord present at the time? The Marquis of BREADALBANE —NO. Lord BROUGHAM—Then the noble lord only had it from some one else? Was that person in the house? The Marquis of BREADALBANE—Yes. Lord BROUGHAM—Ana did he hear those words said? The Marquis of BREADALBANE—It was not a member of your lordships' house, but some one who was present. Lord BROUGHAM—Then he misinformed the noble lord— totally and grossly misinformed him; and the noble lord may tell him that I say so.—(Laughter.) The Metropolitan Interments Bill was read a third time and passed. The Mercantile Marine (No. 2) Bill was read a second time, as was the Merchant Seaman's Fund Bill. On the third reading of the Factories Bill being moved, Mr. F. O'CONNOR said that the factory operatives ought not to be defrauded of their rights by a quibble. Behind govern ment he saw men sitting who had jumped from clogs into patent leather, and out of dung carts into carriages, and who cared for nothing so long as they could traffic in the blood of Vie factory children ; but surely government would not depend for support on such persons. He then made an attack on Mr. Bright, whom he charged with habitual oppression of his tvorkpeople, and he drew a strongly coloured picture of the unhappy condition of the factory labourers in general, con cluding by.urging government not to base its power upon those who lived by the maintenance of such a system. He opposed the third reading of the bill. the gallery was cleared, but no division took place, and the bill was read a third time and passed. On the third reading of the County Courts Extension Bill, Major BLAcKALL moved to add a clause, providing- that 'lrish barristers of seven years' standing should he eligible to the office of judge under the act. Upon a division it was n3gatived by 111 against 58. Mr. MITCHELL moved a clause, enacting that, by leave of the court for the district where the plaintiff resides, the sum mons may issue in such court. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed this alteration on the ground that it would make this a plaintiff's bill. Mr. FITZROY supported it for the very reason that it would benefit the defendant. Upon a division the clause was negatived by 90 against 55, And the bill passed. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY. Mr. Hum E gave notice that he will move an amendment to Mr. Roebuck's motion respecting the foreign policy of the government, to the effect that the house, considering the diffi culties attending the general policy of the government, was of opinion that, upon the whole, the course pursued by the noble secretary for foreign affairs was calculated to promote the inte rests of the country, and would, therefore, continue its confi dence in her Majesty's government. (Cheers and laughter from the opposition side of the house.) Mr. G. A. HAMILTON moved as an amendment, "That an /tumble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be graciously pleased to direct that such a modificatio n o f the systm of national education in Ireland may be made as may remove the conscientious objections which a large propor tion of the clergy and laity of the Established Church entertain to that system, as at present carried into operation ; or other wise that means may be taken to enable those of the clergy and laity of the Established Church who entertain such conscien tious objections, to extend the blessings of scriptural education in Ireland." After a long debate, the gallery was cleared for a division, and the amendment of Mr. Hamilton was negatived by a majo rity of 225 to 142. The house then went into committee of supply, and some money was taken on account of several miscellaneous esti mates ; after which The house resumed, the remaining business was disposed of, after another unavailing struggle on the part of Mr. Pusey to have the landlord and tenant bill read a third time. The bill was eventually postponed until Thursday. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA. The magnificent royal mail steam-ship Asia, Captain Judkins, arrived here on Saturday morning before seven o'clock, with 134 passengers. By some parties she was expected by midnight on the previous day, and the ex pectation had been backed in several quarters by heavy wagers. She has, however, effected the quickest passage that has ever yet been made across the Atlantic, having accomplished the whole distance from Boston, including - the detention at Halifax, in 9 days 181 hours. She has brought telegraphic advices from New York to the 13th instant, and the usual despatch from Halifax to the same date. The following letter, from our correspondent at th 3 latter port, gives all the intelligence of interest : " Halifax, June 13, 1850. "The royal mail steamer Canada arrived here at half past nine o'clock on Tuesday morning. She arrived off the harbour some hours previous, but a dense fog pre vented her from reaching her wharf at an earlier hour. Her news was immediately transmitted to the United States, and was published by the Associated Press on the following morning. " The Viceroy, from Galway, Ireland, was signalled shortly after the arrival of the Canada, and reached her wharf at about 6 o'clock p.m. She, as well as the Canada, encountered head winds nearly the whole distance. Although not built for ocean navigation, the Viceroy has, under the circumstances, done extremely well. She remained in port 24 hours, and sailed for New York last evening. She accomplished the passage to this port in 10 days and 6 hours.' The Hermann steamer . ha.s arrived at New York in 10i days. The steamer Atlantic arrived at New York on Sunday, the 9th instant. She was telegraphed at two o'clock, p.m. and arrived at her wharf late in the evening. There has been no decisive vote in the Senate of the united States upo& OP Compromise Bill, but by the nut ?Uri LIVEINEOL STANDA RD. I R-E•L A N D. There is a falling off of 200 subscribers to the Lawyers' library, Dublin. this year. All the accounts from Ireland, as to the harvest, are very satisfactory. New potatoes were selling in Cork last week at Id. per lb. On Saturday, Mr.. Reynolds, was served with nine writs of summons, for penalties of £5O each, for acts done in his capacity as Lord Mayor of Dublin. The Tralee Chronicle says :—" We learn with regret that the potato blight has exhibited itself in the vicinity of Dingle, and at Glenbeigh, and other parts of Inve ragh." James Nocher, the recently-appointed gamekeeper to the .Rev.1.V...13. Forde ' of Seaforde, county Down, was shot by an assassin on Sunday week. He was on his way home at two o'clock in the morning, when he was shot dead, his body being almost riddled with slugs from the head to the stomach. _ _ The Mayor of Limerick has called a public meeting of his fellow citizens, relative to the severities of Mr. Wilm. Smith •O'Brien's incarceration. Much indignation has been expressed about the treatment which Mr. O'Brien has received from the authorities at Maria Island, and it turns out that there is no such place in existence. STATE OF IRELAND.—Rent is becoming a thing of the past—an obsolete obligation, of which it is an offence to his freedom to remind the tenant. In the Clare Journal we read :—A rescue, of stock seized under an execution, at the suit of Synge against Synge, took place yesterday at Caherhue, when the sheriff and the police acting under him were attacked by the country people and driven into a sand pit, where they were detained until the stock was removed. Mr. Synge was from home at the time. None of the party engaged in the rescue have yet been arrested. The Limerick Chronicle tells us that—A sanguinary fight took place at Newcastelon Tuesday between country people from near Abbeyfeale, named Donoghue, and bailiffs who, it appears, made a distress on the Tionog hues and drove off their cattle. They were followed and beaten, and the cattle rescued.—From the Carrick-on- Suir Correspondent of the Clowned Chronicle we learn that a poor process-server was all but murdered for pre suming to carry a summons into a part of law-loving Tipperary :—On Tuesday last, George Allen went to Curraheen (about four miles from - here) to serve a pro cess; just after leaving in company with his son, they were attacked by four assassins, for such I must call them, who beat them both until left for dead on the road. Fortunately Head Constable Urrick passed by, and seeing their situation, procured a car, and had them removed into Carsick, but faint hopes are entertained of the elder Allen's recovery. As yet no person has been arrested for the offence." Thus the work goes on, and these are not the worst results which may be expected from the doctrines inculcated on the dishonest and the vindictive. LAW INTELLIGENCE. .----4-..-- - In 1815 the salary of the Lord Chancellor was £5OOO, and now it is £lO,OOO, with £4OOO in addition as speaker in the House of Lords, but fees and emoluments were considerable [in 1815, though they .cannot now be ascer tained. In the Queen's Bench, London, on Tuesday, at the sittings before Lord Campbell and a special jury, the case of Tayleure v. Lennox was called. This was an action to recover compensation for an alleged criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. The pleadings in the case were opened to the jury by Mr. Crompton, and the Attorney-General, (who appeared for the plaintiff, who resides in Liverpool,) was on the point of stating the case to the jury, when Mr. Hugh Hill, who represen ted the defendant, Lord Arthur Lennox, interrupted the learned Attorney-General, and said that inasmuch as the inquiry if gone into would be attended with pain to many parties, he was ready to consent to a verdict for the plain tiff with £5OO damages. The Attorney-General on the part of the plaintiff having agreed to this proposition, Lord Campbell directed the jury to find a verdict for the plaintiff, damages £5OO, which they did accordingly. CURIOUS CASE.—In the Queen's Bench, on Wednes day, an indictment was preferred against Lord Dunboyne, under the 41st section of the 6th and 7th William IV., c. 86, which enacted, " That any person who should wilfully make, or cause to be made, for the purpose of being in serted in any register of birth, death, or marriage, any false statement touching any of the particulars by the act required to be known and registered, should be subject to the same pains and penalties as if he were guilty of per jury." There were several counts in the indictment, which, in substance, charged the defendant that he wil fully and knowingly made a false representation, in the month of December, 1843, for the purpose of registering a marriage, as required by that act to be registered. It ap peared that the defendant had married a widow privately, and soon after was married publicly, when he described himself as a bachelor. The marriage was kept secret from the lady's friends, on account of their objection to the union, and of considerable property to which she was entitled. Mr. Cockburn contended that what was done by the defendant was every-day_practice, , where partiq married at the registrar's office, went immediately to the Roman Catholic church, and were there married again. He also cited the case of the late Lord Eldon, who hav ing been married in Scotland, and subsequently in Eng: land, on the last marriage he described himself in the mar riige register as " John Scott, bachelor," and his lady as " Elizabeth Surtees, spinster," notwithstanding they had previously contracted a valid marriage by the law of Scot land. The jury found a verdict for the defendant, thus acquitting Lord Dunboyne of any attempt at fraudulent perjury. POLITICAL MISCELLANY. We are happy to find that the difference between the French and English Governments, on the disputes with Greece, has been brought to a close by the adoption of those terms of the Convention of London which were re fused on the 14th of May. Frye ►d Bright came out as a Protectionist on Tuesday. His motion for rendering our cotton manufactures inde pendent of America was a strange one for such a man. Tl.e Eirl of De by voted by proxy in favour of minis ters, and against Lord Stanley's resolution on the subject of Greece. _ _ Government was again defeated in the House of Lords on Tuesday. The Marquis of Westmeath carried a mo tion against them by a majority of two, relative to the Irish Encumbered Estates Bill. _ _ . The Queen held a Privy Council, at Buckingham Palace, on Wednesday, at which the Lord Chancellor resigned the Great Seal, which was delivered to Lord Langdale, as Chief Commissioner, who, along with the Vice-Chancellor and Baron Rolfe, received the commission for the custody of the Great Seal. _ _ _ The list of the minority in the House of Lords on Mon day is published. It is a noticeable fact that it does not contain the name of " the Duke," who generally feels bound to support "the Government of her Majesty ;" neither is the name of the Earl of Clarendon, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, to be found among those present, Jr in the proxies, or pairs. A goodly array of the Bishops' bench supported the Government, including the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, the Bishops of Chester, Down, Limerick, Manchester, Norwich, St. Asaph, Peterborough, Hereford, Durham, and Worces ter. The Daily News gives the following incredible anecdote :—" In the uncertainty of the impending strug gle in the Lords, the Earl of St. Germans is said to have waited on Lord Palmerston and asked him, for one of his friends, some office in his gift. At such a time nothing was to be refused. Lord St. Germans, therefore, pocketed the paid altachl-ship for his relative (an Elliott), and then absented himself from the division." A PICTURE FOR FREE-TRADERS.—We had last week the opportunity of a long conversation with Capt. Gram, the highly-intelligent master of the Margarita schooner, then clearing at Fosdyke-bridge, and who is also a consi derable farmer at Batten, in Denmark. He gave us the following details, which will be found very edifying to the producers of this country. The price of beef in Den mark is 2d. and 21d. per lb., veal Id ; farm labour is from £5 to £6 a year, with keep, although with that keep the above " cheap" provisions form no part. We have now in our possession a piece of the staple food of this" happy peasantry," a black rye bread, coarse and hard as a mill stone, and redolent of a flavour from which any English pauper would turn away in disgust. Even the middle class of farmers do not consume their own wheat ; the captain says he sells his, which is tolerably good, and about 601 b. to the bushel, at 16s. a quarter; the freight from Denmark to Spalding or Boston is about 3s. a quar ter ; duty, Is. ; total £1 a quarter ! There is not, at present, a great tract sown with wheat, but it will be ob vious that the continuance of free trade must tend to encourage it. The captain is a highly respectable man, and fully prepared to substantiatehis statements.—Boston Herald. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE.—Prior to the brilliant debate in the Peers, on Monday- night, an incident occurred of rather an awkward character, in which Lord Brougham and the Chevalier Bunsen were the dramatis persome. It appears that the gallery now devoted to Peeresses was formerly occupied by the ambassadors, whose positions have since been changed—no intimation being given to the latter :—On the present occasion the Prussian Ambas sador, unconscious of wrong, took his seat with his wife and daughter as usual in this gallery, a circumstance that called forth the ire of Lord Brougham in the manner fol lowing :—" Lord Brougham—My lords, I have given notice —yes, I have given notice to the party on whose conduct lam now about to make some comments. I believe that it is well known to your lordships that no peer or com moner has any right in the gallery of the peeresses, and that any nobleman or gentleman being there infringes on the tules of the house. ' There is one gentleman (the Che valier Bunsen) there now, and he has no right to be there. (Laughter among the peeresses.) If he does not come down I must move that he is infringing the rules of your lordships' house. (A pause.) Besides, that gen tleman has a place assigned to him in the house itself, and by his presence in the gallery he is excluding two peeresses. (Roars of laughter both in the house and among the peeresses present.) I move that the standing orders be enforced by your lordships' officers. (A laugh.) Let it not be supposed that I am doing this discourteously. I have given that gentleman ample notice that if he did not come out, I would address the house upon the sub ject and have him - turned out. (Continued laughter, and some confusion.) His lordship then- addressed the indi vidual in question, and said, You must come out now.' The gentleman remained immoveable; whereupon Lord Brougham stalked down the house to the bar with great haste, and addressing either the Usher of the Black Rod or one of the messengers (for in our position we could not see which), said, 'Go and take him out.' Shortly _afterwards, Sir A. Clifford went into the gallery, and immediately the Chevalier Bunsen rose from:his seat, and, accompanied by two or three ladies, left it." According to the Chronicle report, Lord Brougham. is made to say, and we should think more correctly, that none but peers" and peeresses had any right in the gallery. The matter was referred to next day. CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. The Rev. E. M. Pickford, M.A., has been instituted by the Bishop of Chester to the Rectory Tilston, void by the resignation of the Rev. J.

Cr elanell, a clergyman {of African extraction) from AmeriMpreached in St. George's Church, Barnsley, in the evening, taking for his text, " No one careth for my soul," when a collection was made for the erection of a church in New York, at which place he has been sta tioned, and preached in hired rooms for ten years. The collection amounted to £8 9s. BORNEO CHURCH MissioN.—On Friday a meeting was held in Willis's-rooms, London, in aid of this missionary undertaking. The attendance on the occasion was nu merous and highly respectable, the proceedings being pre sided over by the Earl of Ellesmere, who, at some length, impressed upon the meeting the importance of the ca se which they were assembled to support. He believed 4. the island of Borneo, and many others in the hid 1.. - New Zealand, presented a most encouraging field fo sionary enterprise. Far more so than where a reli 4 4;) - imposture, such as Mahomedanism or fire worshipping had to be contended against. The first resolution was proposed by the Bishop of Manchester, and contained an expression of thankfulness to the Almighty that a mission of the church of England had been securely established at Borneo, and that the introduction of Christianity was looked upon with favour by the inhabitants. The right rev. prelate pointed out that Sir James Brooke had, under Providence, been the chief means by which these kappy results had been brought about. Sir James had not only been a protector and friend to the Bornean mission, but he had contributed largely from his private means to its support. The motion was seconded by Captain M'Quhae, R.N., who, from personal observation, strongly urged the importance of missionary labour in Borneo, and antici pated from them the best results. The second resolution was moved by Lord Littelton and seconded by Archdeacon Robertson, and was in substance—that a church mission house and schools having been erected at Sarawak, an effort should be made to increase the number of mission aries attached to it, and to extend the plans for evan gelising the island. The last resolution adopted recog nised the importance of sending out a bishop for the settlements of the Indian Archipelago, and thus providing for the perpetuity of the church in that quarter of the globe. At the close of the proceedings a collection was made. COURT AND FASHION.

A LIFE CAR.—Our New York correspondent says:— Mr. Francis has recently produced a life car, which has been very successful, and will probably change the cha racter of future shipwrecks. The machine consists of an iron boat, with a top which can be fastened down, and when close the car resembles a double boat, the concavi ties facing each other. In this the passengers on board the wreck are placed, the cover being fastened down, and they are hauled on shore by a line, without being wet, or even chilled. The car cannot upset even in the surf. On the 12th of January last, the ship Ayrshire was wrecked on Squam Beach, in New Jersey, in a terrific snow storm. By means of Mr. Francis's life car, the passengers and crew, every soul of them, men, women, and children, were saved alive, and not only saved, but brought ashore with out feeling the cold. The system is gradually being adopted along our coasts. For three hundred miles southerly below this port these life cars, with howitzers for throwing lines, are regularly stationed, and in every instance they have been perfectly successful. A FOOTMAN IN LOVE.—At Marylebone Police. office, on Monday week, Richard M'Allister, a man rather shabbily dres.ed, was charged with having been near the premises of Miss Bellew, Primrose Hill-road, for an un lawful phrpose. The man formerly lived in the house as footman ; he declared that he was in love with his mistress, and that she returned his passion ; the lady heard this, and discharged him. He has since pestered her, pretending at times that she owes him £2, and talking about their mutual passion. Two years ago, he was sent to prison, in default of finding sureties, for threats and annoyance. He has since renewed his out rages, going to Miss Bellew's house, and alarming her by his presence. The Magistrate was employed for a consi derable time in the investigation, endeavouring to disco ver if M'Allister had recently used actual threats of vio lence. Miss Bellew was examined, and was much excited, so that the Magistrate had to beg her to be more calm. The defendant declared to Mr. Broughton that Miss Bel- IT had promised to marry him, and no one but him; keepwtth them more pe ret a o ee th t e e msamiesaßellew purpose. and her Hewashel household fordtobailtoa month, and sent to prison in default of sureties.
