There was nothing to induce them to believe that there would he a change in that policy which had produced such disastrous results, and threatened more. (Hear.) Lord Stanley seemed to think that no thing done in New Zealand could be right, unless it were in direct opposition to the views of the company, with which he considered that he bad a standing controversy. What had the government done since 1841, in order to promote the prosperity of this young and important colony? They were ready to pronounce a glowing arid beautiful paneeyric on the advantages of representative govei nment, and the importance of New Zealand ; but the letter of Lord Stanley was equivalent to a declaration that the colony would not be fitted for such a government for a century to come. In other colonies the right of the Crown to unoccupied waste lands was undisputed ; but in New Z-aland the Colonial Secretary was endeavouring to establish a principle hither o unrecognised by any civilised nation—no title to land was to be valid unless the rival and contradictory claims of the savages were by them selves acknowledged to be satisfied. Such a state of things would destroy all confidence in the minds of the emigrants, who would direct their capital and labour to Australia ; and a thriving settlement would thus he ex posed to great risk, if not ruined. He did not doubt that a time would come when they would see their error, and retrieve their conduct ; but, meantime, they were pur suing a course, in order to gratify the pride and obstinacy of Lord Stanley—endangering the prosperity, if not the security, of the colony. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY In reply to Mr. Hawes, Sir R. PEEL, stated that the government had taken into consideration the report of the committee on the petition and allegations of the South-Eastern Railway Company; and that, as a result, it had been his painful duty to advise her majesty to ac cept the tendered re ignations of Captain Roldero and Mr. Bonham ; that the master general of the ordnance had absolutely dismissed Mr. Hignett, the late solicitor to the board ; and that the home secretary had written a letter to Mr. Wray, the receiver-general of the metropolitan police, cautioning him that he should in future confine himself to matters connected with his official duties. Captain BOLDERO went into some particulars respect ing these transactions , asserting his ptrsonal integrity, and complaining of the unnecessary severity of a portion of the c mamittee's report: Some conversational debate followed, and the subject - - dropped. Mr. C. BULLER brought forward his motion, that " The House regared with regret and apprehension the state of affairs in New Zealand, and that those feelings were greatly aggravated by the want of sufficient evidence of a change in the policy which had led to such disastrous re sults." After a long discussion, the debate was adjourned. On the motion fur the third reading of the Jewish Disabilities Bill, Sir R. INotts moved, as an amendment, that it be read a third time that day three months.—On a '"visio• 'here were—Fe - - th-rd en _a _ toe - reading, 43 ; against it, 11 ; majority, 32.--The bill was read a third time and passed.

The Art Unions Bill, the Unlawful Oaths (Ireland) Bill, and the Waste Lands Australia Bill passed through committee. HOUSE OF LORDS.-THURSDAY Lord BROUGH AM at considerable length commented upon the small misunderstanding that had occurred be- The Geological Survey Bill and the Loans Societies Bill were read a third time and passed. tween himself and Mr. French, in consequence of the re port of a sptech by the latter gentleman which had ap peared in the Times. His Lordship exp r e s sed himself Lord BaouGHAsa adverted at considerable length to the charges reported to have been brought against him by Mr. F. French in the Commons, which he denounced as foul, libellous, and slanderous in the highest degree, and a great breach of the privi eges of the house. He entered into an explanation of -the course which be had pursued on the committee of inquiry. It appeared that the Stand ing Orders Committee of the Commons had reported against the Dublin and Galway R►ilway Bi:1, but Mr. F. French, doubtless animated by patriotic feelings, induced the house to rescind the resolut►on of the committee, and permit the railway bill to be proceeded with. But it after wards appeared that Mr. French was one of the directors of the contemplated company, the board trafficking in shares, realising considerable sums, and, doubtless, grati fying their patriotic feelings at the same time. But on the pe•it►on of a Mr. Pym, an inquiry had been instituted in a committee of their Lordships' House, from which it appeared that out of 970 applications for shares in the Dublin and Galway, only 111 had been accompanied by references as to character and solvency, and inquiry hav ing been made into 29 of these 111 references, nt, less than 14 were found to be false or fraudulent, on which, on the principle, doubtless, that if they went further they would perfectly , without bringing reporter and printer of the .perch to the bar of the house. Lord BROUGHAM moved an address to her Majesty, desiring that ,he would give directions for having the new Houses of Parliament finished by the beginning of next session. Lord Wu RSCLIFFE opposed the motion, as did also the Duke of WELLINGTON and Lord SonEr.v. Lords CAMPBELL and WICKLOW supported the motion, which on a division was lost by a majority of 24. It was discovered when the motion for reading the Luna tics bill a second time Lad been assented to, that some cleri cal error had crept into it in its passage through the Com mons, which rendered it necessary to expunge one of its clauses, and to commence again by reading the bill as a new one, which was accordingly done on the motio❑ of Lord Whaincbffe. The Commons Enclosure Bill was read a second time. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--Multsimy The house, which met at twelve o'clock, and sat conti nuously, transacted a consiller.hle fare worse, further search was abandoned. He gave one or two instances of the character of individuals to whom shares were allotted. One, who was held to be " respect able" because she lived at "Lower Tooting, Surrey," turned out to be an old female pauper, who could neith e r read nor write. Th e exculpatory evidence whi, h he was charged with' suppressing was that of Mr. Joseph Parkes, the well-known attorney, who, however, was only gene rally acquainted with the practices pursued by railway companies, while the witness whom he had suggested, the Secretary of the London and York, proved that the prac tice pursued by the Dublin and Galway was perfectly the reverse of that adopted on this line. He contra3ted the severe and Pharistucal course adopted towards Messrs. Boldero and Bonham with that general laxity which tole rated such practices as those he had exposed. (Hear, bear.) Reverting to the attack of Mr. Fitz3tephen French, he was bound to beli ye it a gross fabrication, for other morning papers reported the honourable member as having been inaudible, and his respect and veneration for the House of Commons him from entertaining. nd reading o the Stock-in-Trade Bill, and the carrying through committee of the Slave Trade Brazil Bill. The latter measure raised a discussion, Mr. MILNER GIBSON protesting against the policy of the government, on the double ground of its aggravating the evils of the slave trade, and injuring our commerce and trade. Sir R. PEEL defended the government from the imputations thrown on them; and atter some debate, shared in by Lord PALMERSTON, the house went into committee on the bill, which was subse. quently reported. HOUSE OF LORDS -FRIDAY - - - The Pauper Lunatics Bill was read a second time and committed, on a division, the numbers being 27 to 11. The report of the Commissioners on Criminal Law was laid on the table.

On a division, the report was carried by 67 to 23. auu upwarns ut .300,000 had been expended in building new churches. The complaint was, that the members of the Free Church had been prevented from put cha,ing sites for churches, by which they had suffered great harnshlps, having been compelled to meet in the open air or under canvas tents. Sir J. Graham observed, that Mr. Stewart was not to blame for calling attention to ►his very painful subject. It was One iIgITII4c/a.•• I. _: I .

HP trusted that, after this discussion, free toleration would again prevail in Scotland, and that every facility would be granted by the proprietors of that country to the erection of places of public worship for the congregations of the Free Church. The motion was negatived without a division. Mr. EVART moved for the repeal of the duties on the importation of butter and chee,e. The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER opposed the the motion as being inconsistent with the financial ar rangements for the year.—After some observations from Mr. Gibson, Mr. Hume, and Mr. Cobden, Sir R. Peel objected to bringing forward such a motion at so late a period of the session, when all the financial arrangements of the year had been completed.—After some discussion the motion was negativea by a majority of 136 to 38. In answer to Mr. FORSTER, who withdrew his motion for a committee to consider the expediency of a future alteration of the tariff, Mr. SUIEL recommended the endowment of the Free Church. Mr. HINDLEY opposed it. Mr. Hoare called the attention of the house to the loss which the public had sustained in consequence of the pro clamation concerning light gold, and moved an address to the Queen on the subject, which was negatived by a ma jority of 64 to 34. Sir R. PEEL said, that when he bad brought forward his reduced tariff, he did not state that there were not other articles on which a reduction of duty ought also to be made ; but considering the progress that the govern ment had made during the past three years in commercial reform, he thou4bt the house might very well leave fur. ther alterations in their hands for future consideration. Mr. HuasE expressed a hope that Sir Robert Peel would in the next session undertake the reform of the Custom House, as the number of Commivsioners and of subordinate officers ought to be reduced, now that their duties were so much diminished by the withdrawal of so many articles from the tariff. IcultEIGN AND COLONIAL. ARRIVAL OF THE OVERLAND MAIL An extraordinary expre ss , f rom Marseilles, arrived in London on Tuesday morning, bringing letters and news papers in anticipation of the Overland Calcutta mail. '1 he dates are :—Calcutta, June 3d ; Bombay, June 3d ; Madras, June 10th.; Galle, June 14th ; Aden, June 30tb; and Alexandria, July 10th. • The most important local event which had occurred at Calcutta was the passing of the New Tariff Act, a draft of which was sent home some months ag o. It rema i ns in statu quo as regards its provisi ons , th expression of public opinion upon it having led to no modification of any of its clauses. It is hardly likely that an addition of It to a duty of 3 per cent. will operate as a very great check on importation, or that even th e h eav i er increase on certain articles and on goods import e d by foreign ves sels wiil materially affect those branches of trade.

PEEL wished that Mr. Hume would spend a week at Liverpool, and judge for himself whether the number of Custom -house officers employed there was too great for the tumeasiog trade of that port. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. Mr. MACKINNON withdrew his Smoke Preveution Bill, on the express understanding thtt a goverment commis sion should be issued, arid that if the report of that com mission be favourable, government will introduce a simi lar mea-ure next session on its own responsibility.

From Sincapore news has arrived of the total loss of the barque Columbian, of Liverpool, Captain Wakem, by striking on a sunken rock in the Gaspar Straits. The crew and passengers reached Sincapore in safety in the boats. The passengers sent a letter of thanks to the captain for his good conduct en the occasion. Toe Java bank had, by an order from the Dutch go vernment, suspended cash payments. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. CONFLAGRATION IN SMYRNA (From a Supplementpf the" Impartial," dated Smyrna, 9 ' 4 Ju'y, 18:15.) A frightful catastrophe has plunged our city into an abyss of desolation. Smyrna, flourishing and prosperous on Thursday. was, on the next day, Friday, the 4th July, a pile of cinders and smoking ruins. The effects of the fire of the 29th July, 1841, are far from having been so disastrous. Then the destroying element had only exercised its ravages on the members of the body, so to say ; but now it is the soul, the very heart of the city, that has been seized. The fire commenced on Thursday, the 3rd July, at half-past six in the evening, in a low eating-house at Mamoglu. Fed by a violent gale from the north, and finding its food in crowded streets, or in very old houses (all built of wood), it soon became immensely developed, pushed on as it was by the wind to the right and left, in squalls violent enough to uproot trees. It marched, at the same time, against the wind with a prodigious quick ness. Not a s , ngle stone-built house was there to arrest its progress. There was a general dread, and profound discouragement. Ihe fire marched on one side as far as Tabachana, sweeping on its passage all the Armenisn quarter, and some small bazaars. The bazaars of the clothiers and drapers, &c., are all safe. On this side it passed through the large wine and rachee stores, where it found, from the immense quantity of spirits (rachee, &c.) stored there, an aliment which gave it a new strength. All the quarter of the Roman Catholics, called Kenourio Machalla, and the streets branching out of it, those called the Moscov Sokaki, Hadgi Sotira, Abraham, and the hospital and its adjoining houses and streets, became very soon a prey to the flames. Passing after this to the quar ter called Hadgistan, it opened upon the Frank (European) quarter, and rejoined the column of fire, which had de scended by the Madama Khan (between the Kenourio Machalla and the Frank quarter). Thanks to the high walls which girdle the premises occupied by M. Sponty (walls left bare, but still strong and firm, by antecedent fires, over which was once built a stately residence), the fire was at length mastered, at the moment when Rose-street was threatened with de struction. The remainder of the Frank quarter (by very far the most considerable part) was thus saved. Thirty large houses in this quarter, the centre of com merce, with the small shops beneath them, the hospital of St. Anthony, three-fourths of the premises of the Sisters of Charity, the Armenian church and school, nineteen large taverns (or wine -stores), several small khans containing merchandise, warehouses containing furniture (lodged there for safety !). 4000 houses, and a large number of (small) shops, have become a prey to the flames. Frightful and terrible catastrophe! Twenty years will not suffice to recover from this blow. The fire lasted seventeen consecutive hours, driven in• cessantly by a furious gale. Nine-tenths of the Roman Catholic population are amongst the unhappy victims whom this fire has rendered houseless. Of nine hundred houses numbered by the Armenian population, only thirty. one remain ; thousands of persons are without an asylum. The loss is estimated at 200 millions of piastres (Xl,800,000). Charity makes immense efforts, but we call on all Europe for assistance. On the 15th instant the guillotine was employed for the first time in the canton of Zurich. Lettcrs from Rome state the health of the Pope to be such as to create some alarm. The strawberries annually raised by one market gar dener, near Amsterdam, are worth upwards of £3,000. A Berlin letter of the Ist states that the health of the Empress of hussia continues to decline. It is said that her disease is anturism. Mr. Everett, Minister in London from the United States, has been recalled; and Mr. Louis M'Lane is ap pointed in his place to our Court. A letter from Leipsic, July 11, says that the church in which the altar of St. Ignatius de Loyola is placed has just been closed, in consequence of the Roman Catholic commune having embraced German Catholicism. CHRISTIANITY IN CHINA.—The intelligence of the determination of the Emperor to tolerate Christianity is confirmed ; but it appears that the religion is allowed to be practised only at the five ports open to foreign com merce. A PARISIAN CIRCUS.—The vast theatre at Paris, called the Hippodrome, 350 feet in length, was opened last week, with a variety of entertainments, partaking of the character of the sports of the ancient circus, to an audience of upw;,rds of fifteen thousand persons, of every rank, from the pier to the gamin. The Executive Council of Zurich has decided on suffer ing Dr. Steiger and the three gendarmes who assisted him in his escape to enjoy the rights of hospitality, and on treating them as political refugees. This resolution was unanimous as respects Dr. Steiger; but there were some votes in favour of refusing the gendarmes permission to continue in the canton. NEW NAVAL PowER.—A letter from Naples states that the King of the Two Sicilies has of late years been occupied with increasing his navy. It is at present com posed of twelve sailing ships of war ; among which are one of 80 guns and four frigates ; arid twelve steam-ships, of which eight are large frigates with engines of 300- horse power, mounted with Paixhan's guns. The king hls erected at Pietrana a foundry for steam-engines. and " 0 -horse power, destini-d for a new frigate now ing, will be shortly finished finished IRE LAND Mr. Lucas, the under-secretary for Ireland, has re signed his situation in consequence of ill health. At the Tipperary Assizes, on Friday, Denis Lacy was convicted of the wilful murder of Daniel Sullivan, in July, 1843. The Chief Justice passed senter,ce of death. There is no doubt now that the sentinel supposed to have been shot while on duty in Phcenix-park, Dublin, maimed himself with a pistol in order to procure his dis charge and a pension. He is to be tried by court martial. Two men have been committed for trial at Derry Assi zes, charged with having shot at the Rev. Mr. Kean, of lshaheen, as he was returning on horseback from visiting a sick parishioner. OUTRAGES (IRELAND.)—From a parliamentary return it appears that the total number of outrages specially re ported by the constabulary in Ireland during the month of June latt, was 896. The number in M a y was 823 ; t h at in June, 1814, only 4-16. Of the 896 outrages so reported during the last month, 182 were of agrarian character. INTENDED ORANGE DEMONSTRATION.—The Dublin Mail says that a procession of Orangemen is to take place on the 12th August at Enniskillen, at which forty thou sand members will be present. The day will not, at all events, call forth any angry reminiscences from their op ponents, and the Protestants now feel that it is their turn to intimidate according to law. THE ATTEN DANCE - AT WEXFORD.—As Mr. O'Con nell has estimated the number of " stalwartli" men par ticipating in the demonstration at 200,000, we have referred to the latest census, 1841, and we find the males of all ages from the new-born infant to the most advanced age, to be set down at 97,918 for the whole county of Wexford. To talk of Mr. O'Connell's figures in the face of this document would be idle in the extreme. WEXFORD REPEAL DEMONSTRATION. This great repeal demonstration took place on Wednesday last. The progress of 11,1 r. O'Connell from Bay to Wexford is de scribed as one long triumphal procession. The last named town was crowded with people await ng Mr. O'Connell's arrival. The open-air -meeting was attended by a vast crowd, by whom Mr. O'Connell was received with the most unbounded enthusiasm. The dinner took place in a large tent erected in a timber-yard, adjoining the quay of Wexford. The tables were capable of ac commodating about 1,000 persons, and fully that number' sat down to dinner. Mr. O'Connell responded to the toast proposing his health. REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—The usual weekly meeting was held in the Conciliation Elan on Monday.—Mr. O'Connell's speech was a denunciation of the police for massaereing" the people at Rathcormac, Skisbereen, and Ballinhassig ; and Mr. Thomas Steele rooted the tor por of the shilline members by denouncing the editor of the Evening Packet as an assassin, an d one b eyond the pale of all law.—Mr. O'Connell went into a long cata logue of grievances under which he says Irel an d i s labor ing, and concluded by giving notice of his intention to go off to Derrynane, and there draw up no l ess t h an eleven acts of parliament to be submitted to the committee for approval. One of the threatened acts is for the repeal of the union, and another for the taxation of absentees.-- The week's rent was announced to be £319 18s. ld., and the meeting adjourned. CLERICAL AT Ws.

No fewer than fifty two Railway Bills received the Royal assent on Monday. The Runcorn and Preston Brook Railway Bill has been rejected by the Lords Committee, but Lord Francis Eger.. ton, the promoter of it, will, it is said, proceed with the measure neat session. HUDDERSFIELD AND SHEFFIELD RAILWAY.--The staking out of the line of this railway from Huddersfield to Penistone, has been commenced this week, preparatory to the actual breaking up of the ground by the workmen. A meeting of the shareholders of the North Kent Rail way took place on Friday at the London Tavern, Sir J. L. Goidsmid in the chair, at which it was resolved to pro ceed with the undertaking next year. To complete this scheme a capital of £3,300,000 would be required. A state ment of the preliminary expenses was also hid before the meeting, from which it appeared that the law charges, ' surveyor', &c. costs amounted in the gross to engineers £13,943 16s RAILWAY BUSINESS AND BANKING.—It will give some idea of the immense extent to which banking transactions have recently increased, in consequence of railway busi ness, when we state that the amount sent to the clearing house recently, by one firm in L.,mbard-street, was 2,500,000/. ; and, as nearly the same amount would be drawn upon them, this gives the enormous sum of 5,000,000/ for the business of cne firm in one day I Under ordinary circumstances, the amount sent to the cleating house by any of the largest bankers, does not exceed 1,000 , 00 0/,—Bankers' Magazine. PROGRESS OF RAILWAY BILLS. —The preambles of the following were proved in the Lords last week Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton; Oxford and Rugby; Londonderry and Coleraine; Wakefield, Pon te'ract and Goole ; London and South Western (Metro. politan Extension); South Wales; Erewash valley; South-Eastern (Tunbridge Extension); Glasgow, Barr head and Neilstan ; Direct London and Portsmouth ; Brighton and Chichester (Portsmou h Extension); Guildford, Chichester and Portsmouth; Monmouth and Hereford. The following have been negatived : London, Worcester, and South Staffordshire; Runcorn and Preston ; Cornwall ; Brayton and Goole. In the Com mons : London and York has been proved (exclusive of the branches to Wakefield and Sheffield). Besides these a number of bills have received the royal assent, and their titles will be found in our parliamentary proceedings. NORTH UNION RAILWAY.—The half-yearly meeting of this company will be held, in Preston on Thursday next, when the directors will recommend a dividend of £4 per cent on stock A, and £2 per cent. on stock B, for the half year. From the statement of accounts, it ap pears that, notwithstanding the reduction in the passen ger fares, the gross receipts of the half-year show an im provement upon the corresponding half-year of 1844. There has also been a profit of £6013 7s. realised by sel ling the Lancaster and Carlisle shares held by the com pany. The directors announce in their report that, in order to give the public the greatest accommodation in the goods deportment, they have given the present lessee of the warehouses notice to give up the company's pre mises on the 31st December next. The directors also state their intention to co-operate with the promoters of the " West Lancashire and North Union Railway Com pany," the object of which is to make a more direct com munication between Liverpool and Preston than the pre lient lines afford, and which will be by a jun;:tion with the North Union line, near Euxton, and proceeding via Orniskirk to Liverpool. MIDLAND RAILWAY.—The half-yearly meeting of this Company was held, at Derby, on Friday last, Mr. George Hudson in the chair. The meeting was very nu merously attended. Mr. Hudson alluded to the extraor dinary decision of the parliamentary committee on the London and York line, and stated, that the Midland and other companies. who had money to the amount of twenty millions involved in existing lines, had not been allowed a tearing before the committee against the York bill. He expressed the determination of the company to retire from the committee and take the sense of the house as to whether the London mid York line should pass. The di rectors hail the satisfaction of recommending a divi- , lend of £3 upon each £lOO of the consolidated stock, and £3 upon each £lOO of the preferential stock, and £2 6,3 d. upon each £lOO of the Birmingham and Derby consolidated stock. The receipts, including those from the Sheffield and Rotherham Railway, had exceeded those of the three companies, in the corresponding half last year, by 65,115 Bs. 6d. The staten ent of the capital ac count to the 30th June, 1845, was as follows :—The amount expended to the 31st December, 1844, was. £6.259,838 ; further charges since, £67,852 ; making a total of £6,327,690. The amount received on acccount of shares and debentures, with some deductions, was £6,284,631, leaving a balance of £13,052. The balance in favour of the company, on the revenue account, was ' £151,011. The report was adopted. The Rev. Mr. Leek, seconded by Mr. Wright, moved, that the trains be not permitted to run on the sabbath. This, and a sub sequent motion for a petition against Sunday travelling, was negatived. It was agreed that the company should give £2,000 towards the erection of a monument to I\lr. George Stephenson ; that £5OO per annum should be paid to the committee of management ; and that the divi dend be paid in August. It was also agreed, Mr. Hud son having previously h-ft the chair, that the directors of the company be requested to put themselves in communi cation with the directors of other companies over which Mr. Hudson has control, for the purpose of giving him some public testimonial on a large scale, his own wishes being consulted on the subject. RAILWAY SPECULATION.—THE DUBLIN AND GAL WAY liniLwAY.--From a voluminous report of the evi dence taken before a committee of the House of Lords, over which Lord Ponsonby presided, and of which Lord Thougham was a member, we have taken two extracts, explaining some of ti e artifices resorted to in fraudulently getting up a railway company. The promoters of this line were so successful, that their project having been sent back by the committee of the House of Commons for almost innumerable instances of non-compliance with the standing orders, a majority of the house over ruled the decis , on of the committee, and the bill was, with the approbation of the Secretary for Ireland, sent to the House of Lords. —The first case is that of a wit ness whose name had, without his knowledge, been sub fcribed to the deed. The Rev. H. Baynton is called in, and examined as follows :—Do you know anything of the Irish Great Western Railway ?—No. Did you ever hear anything about it ?—No. Did ever anybody apply to you to take shares ?—No Did you ever wr i te any letter upon the subject ?—No Did you ever receive any ?—Not that I remember. Is that your handwriting (showing the con tract deed to the witness) ?—No, it is not. Did you ever live in Bennett-street, St. James's ?—No ; I never was there, that I remember. Look at this (showing to the witness the letter applying for shares) ; is that your handwriting?—No. No part of it?—No Did you ever hear of that lette- of application for shares ?—No. Did anybody ever speak to you about shares ?—No. Did you ever pay any money into the bank?—No, Railways are things I have always endeavoured to avoid. Are you a clergyman of the Church of England ;—Yes. Are you a beneficed clergyman ?—Yes. In what county ?—ln Wiltshire. What is the name of your living ?—Brorn ham. Do you live at Allen's, a truokmaker's, 22, Strand, corner of Hungerford-market; —Yes. Are you aware that your name was down as a shareholder previ ously to the proceedings b- fore the Committee on Stand ing Orders?—No. The next case is that of another des cription of shareholder. Margaret Meredith is called in, and examined as follows :—Did you ever subscribe to the Irish railway concern ?—No, never in my life; not to any one. Did you ever write a letter asking for shares?— Never, I cannot write my own name, nor read it. Are you a person in rich circumstances or in poor circumstan ces ?—Very po or . D o you receive parish relief?—Yes. Did you receive parish relief last December ?—Yes ; and have done these four years. You did not sign that paper for 3,500, therefore You did not pay £l7O into the bank ? I never was worth the sum in my life. Where do you live now ?—At Tooting—Lower Tooting, very near the Angel Inn. ne of 31 CHINA.—We understand that private letters have been received in Liverpool from Shanghae, of a date later than any intelligence which has appeared in the newspapers; and the intelligence which they contain, if strictly correct, is highly important, as showing the great extension of the market for British cotton manufactures in the eastern ports of China. The statement is to the effect, that. within three weeks, no less than six vessels, the Sarah, Louisa, the Valin, the Thomas Worthington, the Flora, the Monarch, and the Richard Cobden, all which left Great Britain in October, had arrived at Shanghae ; and that nearly the whole of their cargoes of manufactured goods had been disposed of at satisfactory prices. EXPEDIENT TO ESCAPE SLAVERY.—On tbeBth June, a box, labelled, '• This side up, with care," marked " To J. Bennett, Louisville. Kentucky." an d , i n another place, Crockery ware," was brought up to the wharf, at Mem phis, preparatory to shipping. Soon after the box was landed on the wharf-boat, a strange noise was heard within, and, upon its being opened, a live negro was taken from it. He had been almost suffocated in his confinement ; hence the alarm. It seems that this negro, who was a slave, belonging t ) a gentleman in the vicinity of Memphis, had paid J. Bennett, a free negro, fifteen dollars to transport hi m t o a f ree state_nn,t d to cJntract, hosed him up, and would have ne, set him accordin at liberty had he been successful.—American Paper. OMNIBUS RIVALRY IN NEW YORK. —The proprietors and drivers of rival omnibuses in London show their re sentful feeling by driving against each other; in New Yolk. it appears, they take more certain means of bring ing their rivals to a stand still, as appears by the follow ing paragraph in the New York Journal of Commerce:— " We learn that 36 horses, belonging to Mr, C, Whitson, of Yorkville, proprietor of the new line of omn ib uses to inaL place, were poisoned early on Tuesday morning last, in consequence of drinking the water in the trough at the corner of the 3rd avenue and 85th street, into which some villain had thrown a large quantity of arsenic. Nine of the horses haveldied, and, from appearances, at least twelve of the • _ remaincier will expire. Besides these, several horses, cows, and hogs, belonging to the neighbourhood have died, and others are in a critical condition. The running of the stages will be temporarily suspended, to the great inconvenience of the public, who by this line have been carried between the city arid Yorkville for 64: cents. fare. It is supposed that interested malevolence has done this deed." THE COURT 4. FASHIONABLE WORLD, Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the royal children continue in the Isle of Wight, and are not expected to return to town till the prorogation of patliament. The King of Holland arrived at Woolwich on Thurs day, and on Saturday his Majesty paid a visit to the Queen and Prince Albert, at Osborne, Isle of Wight. Accounts from Berlin state that the Queen and Prince Albert will arrive at the Palace of Brubl, near Coblentz, on the 121 h August. The Duke of Wellington will have the honour of enter taining the King of Holland during his Majesty's sojourn in this country. The Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by the Prin cess Mary of Cambridge, and attended by Baron Knese beck, according to present arrangements, will leave to morrow (Wednesday) for Germany. Four thorough-bred Arabian horses have just arrived in this country, a present from the Imaun of Muscat to her Majesty the Queen. The animals, notwithstanding the wildness peculiar to their breed, have, since their ar rival, exhibited wonderful docility. THE ROYAL FAMILY AT COWES.--The royal children are on the beach, throwing stones into the water, by nine o'clock in the morning. The Prince drives out her Majesty and some of the royal children every day: and .they look so plain and homely that they are scarcely noticed by the people. The Prince of Wales told the Queen he did not wish to go back to Buckingham Palace again —he should like to stop at Osborne House and throw stones. THE QUEEN'S NEW SUMMER HOUSE AT BUCKING HAM PALACE.—" Garden Pavilion," which has just been opened fJr the inspection of the public, is a small Swiss looking edifice, on the summit of an artificial eminence, overlooking the lawn and piece of water in the gardens of Buckingham Palace. The external appearance of the Pavilion is picturesque and fantastic. The central room is an octagon. The roof rises into a dome, in each com portment of which is a circular opening, with a sky back- ground. A rich cornice runs round the room, and below the cornice are the eight lunettes, containing the frescoes, by eight different painters. Over each is a tablet, on which is inscribed, in gilt letters, on a browni-h•red ground, the passage of the poem which has suggested the subject of the painting below. The subject of all these frescoes is Milton's masque of romus. The artist , were Stanfield, Uwins, Le-lie, Sir William Ross, Eastlake, Maclise, Landseer, and Etty. LAW INTELLIGENCE A question of some importance has arisen in bank ruptcy—viz., the issuing of a fiat against a public com pany. The Forth Marine Company is the case we allude to. The precedence set of making a public company bankrupt, will bring on others, which will be one of the ready means of exposing some of the bubbles of the day. MISS CRELLIN AGAIN.—In the Vice -Chancellor's court on Monday, Mr. Romilly moved than Ann M`Gill, of Liverpool, (otherwise Crellin) and John Orr M•Gill, might be restrained by injunction from proceeding in an action of ejectment to obtain possession of premises, whereof the plaintiffs, Lyon and Jones, were mortgagees, His Honour was of opinion that it was a case in which the court could not interfere. In the Vice-Chancellor's Court, Mr. Rogers, on behalf of Mr. Charles Mathews, moved the court to restrain Mr. Webster, of the Haymarket Theatre from performing the well-known f arce of " Used Up." Mr. Mathews claimed the farce as his own under the new Copyright Act, having translated it from the French, and re-written portions of it. He has lett the Haymarket, but Mr. Webster still continued to perform it. The Vice. Cha ncellor suggested that the matter should stand over for a day, to enable the other party to appear, and this was at length agreed to. CASE OF Cant. CON.- ROBERTS v. lIERBmAN.—A most painful case of this description was tried on Tuesday last at the assizes for the county of Tyrone, (Ireland,) and excited much curiosity, not only from the circum stances attending it, and the position of the parties, but, as well, from the fact of its being the first action for crim. con. tried in the county for upwards of 30 years. The plaintiff in the case is a Mr. Percival Benjamin Roberts, first master of the Alfred frigate, in which he is at present on the South American station, and the defendant is a mercantile man, a member of the firm of Mulholland and Co., of Belfast, and resident managing partner of Sion Mill, near Strabane. The lady was a Miss Pettite of Malta, who was married to the plaintiff whilst he was with his ship at that island. Itappearect in evidence that on the plaintiff, Mr. Roberts, leaving England with his ship he offered his young wife the option of remaining with his own brother, a bachelor of mature age, or of visiting Ireland aWI residing with the wife of a Doctor Moody, the surgeon of his own ship. She chose the the latter; and it was whilst residing with Mrs. Moody. whose cottage was in the immediate neighbourhood of Sion Mill, that she became acquainted with the defendant, and visited with his wife and family. During this time the seduction of Mrs. Roberts appears to have taken place, the case being aggravated as against the defendant by his great pretensions to piety. Ultimately an exposure of the connexion between them took place; and Mrs. Ro berts was delivered of a child since dead. The defendant when first charged with the offence fully admitted his guilt. The damages were laid at £5,000; and the jury returned a verdict for £l,OOO, which appears to have been more lenient than it would otherwise have been, owing to considerations of the injury which might result to the wife and children of the defendant from the infliction of heavy damages.

The Turks find it so exnuis tte by charming, that they excite themselves to drink of it t i f eating salt. It is a common say i ng ameng them, thA 1a Mohammed h a d d run k o f i t, h e would have begged i-qt. not to have died, th a t h e m i g h t always have d o ne 9 When the Egypti ans un d erta k e t h e p i lgrimage of Mec ‘ c e ; or go out o f t h e i r country on any other account, t" speak of n o thi ng b ut t h e pleasure they shall find, at tied return, in drinki ng th e Nil e water. There is nothing to be comp are d to this satisfaction ; it surpasses, in their esteem, that o f see i ng their relations a ga in, and t he m families. All those who have tasted this water allow th s o they never met with the like in any other place. When person drinks of it f or t h e f i rst time, it seems difficult to believe that it i s no t a water prepared by art.
