AMERICAN AND CANADIAN AFFAIRS The Sirius, Capt. Mowle, arrived at Plymouth on Monday afternoon, having sailed. from New York on the 30th of June at eight o'clock in the evening. She brings 25 cabin pas sengers. (From the National Intellioencer of June 26.) SOB-TREASURY B11;1, DEFEATED. We stop the press to announce the Sub-Treasury Bill has just been rejected in the House of Representatives by a vote of 125 to 111. Laus Deo. We understand, however, that one of the minority will more to-day a reconsideration of the vote—vain t hou g h it will be. (From the New York Daily Whig of June 28.) Mr. Foster, of New York, rose and moved a reconsidera tion of the Sub-Treasury Bill. Sherrod Williams moved the previous question. Motion lost, 21 to 102, so that the house refused to reconsider. (Frorn.the New York Daily Whig.) We are called upon this morning, says the Rochester Democrat of the 23d current, to communicate the important fact, that Lord Durham has been recalled by the Home Government The causes which have led to this very sudden and important movement are given below:— "Toronto, June 21, 1838. " Mr. Dawson,—Dear Sir, I hasten to tell you of an im portant change which has taken place in our distracted government. This is an uuexpected recaltof Lord Durham. The circumstances are whispered here, having arrived last night by a dispatch, although probably on account of the expressed wishes of the government, they have nut been pub lished in any of the Lower Canada papers. " A great many years since, an ancestor of the present Selkirk family received from toe British government a grant of the present Canadian provinces, with a considerable por tion of what is at - present the United States. Among other privileges granted by this charter was that of being perpetual governors—the fatal consequences of which were not con sidered at that time, when the country was mere hunting government, that they have been obliged to recall ourdespot, and no future governor can be appointed without the con currence of Lord Selkirk. "This is all the information the government has allowed to become public, and this is merely Whispered among a few. " His lordship does not sail, it is believed, for a month or six weeks. He is said to have been excessively enraged, at the reception of the intimation of his recall." (From the New York Evening Star of June 30. THE PATRIOTS TOTALLY DEFEATED.—The lo Ad vertiser, of Tuesday afternoon, furnishes the following, which, if true, as it propabiy is, will terminate the disturbances which have been created in that quarter. It is, however, most probably exaggerated:— " Accounts have been received this morning, from Canada, of the entire defeat of the insurgent force in the neighbour hood of the Short Hills, yesterday, and the capture of their standards and ringleaders. A large body of troops, and 600 Indian warriors, had been previously collected in their rear, and gradually hemmed them in. It is said that there are many Americans among the prisoners, who will most pro bably be tried by a field court martial and be executed forth with. All communication across the river has been sus pended, and the boats drawn up to prevent the escape of any parties still lurking in the woods." We learn from Samuel Heron, Esq., editor of the Dundas United States Gazette, who came over in the Traveller yes terday morning, that the Patriots left the Short Hills on Saturday night, and moved towards Grand River. The in telligence reach Hamilton on Sunday, and, M‘Nab was im mediately ordered out with the 3d regt. to meet and attack the Patriots at Short Tavern, about 14 miles from Hamilton, ou the Grand River-road. It was supposed by many that the Patriots would reach this point before the Royalist troops. (From the St. Catherine's Journal (Niagara district) of June 21.) SERIOUS TROUBLE, IN_A NEW QUARTER.—For several days past this section of the province has been teeming with rumours of the concentration and movements of the " Patriots," in various directions, not only along the frontier, but in the interior of the country—some of which were of such an exaggerated description, that we were, for a while, strongly inclined to treat the whole as existing - only in the imagination of those with whom they originated. But recent events in the vicinity of the Short Hills, prove most conclu sively that we have been hitherto innocently resting in false security, on the brink of a volcano, now just ready to burst under our feet, and overwhelm us in one general ruin and dismay. In consequence of sundry unfavourable reports, and ill usage received by some of the most active Loyalists, from a few miserable loafers about St. John's, it had been deemed prudent by the authorities, a few days since, to station a de tachment of Major Magrath's lancers at that place. After this, all appeared quiet, until Thursday morning, when our villages were alarmed by the arrival of an express, (Mr. Zenas Fell,) at day break, from St. John's, bringing the astonishing intelligence, that an organised gang, vari ously estimated at from 50 to 100 desparate villains, well armed, had attacked the tavern occupied by Mr. John Ous terhout, where the lancers (only 1U men) were quartered, about three o'clock that morning; and succeeded in capturing them, with all their equipments and horses, except one, and had made off to the nearest swamp, with their booty. It appears, however, that those brave volunteers, although assaulted in the 2d story, while asleep, in the dead hour of the night, totally unprepared 'for immediate resistance, did not yield without showing the most determined valour. They successfully repelled their assailants at the stairway; and the banditti finding the odds fearfully against them, in firing through the windows, at last resorted to the expedient of setting fire to the building. On learning this, the lancers rushed out of the house, sword in hand, resolutely.cutting and slashing on every side, among the motley group assem bled there; but were finally overpowered; taken prisoners, and conducted, with several others, a distance of two or three miles, and then di s ch a r ge d. Sixty-eight ball holes were counted in the ceiling of the room in which the horsemen lodged; but providentially, only one of those gal lant fellows was seriously injured in the affray. Three men are known to have been badly wounded among the assailants—one of whom, being unable to walk, was car ried away by Mr. Davis's team, which they pressed into their service. In the meantime, as we have since learned, another squad of the same gang, entered the house of a farmer, in that neighbourhood, Mr. Overholt, and robbed him of 1000 dollars in specie. • . _ Immediately after the arrival of the above tidings, ex presses were sent off to head quarters; and a strong party of volunteers, both horse and foot, mustered, on the spur of the moment, and set off, well armed, to the scene of this diabo lical outrage. In fact, the whole population of the country is iu inotiqu—and well it may be—for, while such a lawless and powerful banditti is roaming at large, no man is safe. any more than he would he in a howling wilderness, infested by hordes of wild beasts of the most ravenous kind. in the course of the day they overhauled and captured five prisoners, two of whom were those wounded the night before, and one of the others was Samuel Chaundler, supposed to be the principal leader of the gang. The latter was taken by Mr. Thomas Adams, of this village, and secured through the assistance of Lieut. Heath, of the Lancers A sixth rene gade, named Kempt, was shot down, in attempting to escape, by one of the Lancers—the remainder of whom had instantly hurried to_ the relief of their companions in arms the moment they were apprised of the dastardly manner in which they had been attacked. The prisoners were escorted to Niagara„gaol, under a strong guard, where they will, no doubt, soon meet. a just and well-merited reward for their crimes. ' FRlDAY.—Preparations for hunting down and extermina ting these mad-brained desperadoes, still continue. Three companies of British regulars, belonging to the 24th regiment, arrived at Queenston, from Toronto, on Wednesday, destined for the disturbed sections of the district. The high sheriff, with a number of magistrates and officers of the six-months volunteers, are in motion. Captain M'Donald's troop of cavalry, and a volunteer company of infantry, hastily collected in this village and vicinity, have just gone out to reconnoitre. Reports are flowing in from all quarters, all the movements of the marauders—who appear to be divided into squads of some 30 or 40 men, each, and described as being a poor, rag ged, emaciated and haggard looking set of wretches, as were ever banded together—fit instruments, in the hands of wicked and designing individuals ; and countenanced a n d supporte d by a few disaffected residentsin different parts of the pro vince, to do much mischief, if not promptly put d own b y t h e strong arm of the law, and the united voice and exertions of every friend of his country. Six more prisoners were taken this day, after a sharp en gagement with one of those bands of robbers, during which two of the volunteers, under Jacob Keefer, Esq., of Thorold, were slightly wounded in their cheeks. The loss among th e brigands is not known, as the remainder precipitately fled to the woods, carrying off their dead and wounded, if they had any. SATURDAY.—it is stated this morning, that one of the lan cers is missing in an unaccountable manner—that his clothes have been found, with spots of blood upon them—that the mill-pond at St. John's have b een d rawn o ff, a nd other dili gent search made for the body, without success—and that there is too much reason to fear he has met foul play at the hands of some of those prowling villains, now attempting to lay waste the country. According to all accounts, we are induced to believe, that these petty bands of marauders are principally composed of the refugees, who have been hovering along the frontiers du ring the last six months, some of whom have made their way thus far into the interior unarmed, in pairs and singly, by the regular ferries; the others in small parties, with boats ob tained from the other side, loaded with arms and ammunition, which have been return e d. F rom G r a n d I s l an d t o near B lac k Creek, is said to be a point at which much business of this kind has been done. Finding the United States government officers and troops growing tired of the annoyance, and harrassing duty required of them, in consequence of the operations of these misnamed " Patriots; and the sympathy" of the American people, getting quite below par, since their wanton destruction of the Sir Robert Peel, and other depredations upon defenceless Canadian inhabitants—these wretched misguided men have, as a last resort, and reckless of the result, thus madly return ed to their own country, and imbrued their hands in the blood of their friends and neighbours and thereby irretrievably cast themselves into the jaws of ruin and death. PROCLAMATION. UPPER CANADA. - - - By his Excellency_Sir George Arthur, Knight Commander of the Royal Hanoverian Guelphic Order, Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Upper Canada, Major Gene rid commanding her Majesty's forces therein, &c. &c. Whereas, on the morning of the 21st of this present month of June, a large body of armed men assembled in the town ship of Pelham, in the Niagara district, and attacked and plundered a house in that neighbourhood of a large sum of money and other property, and fired upon and overpowered a small detachment of the embodied militia there stationed : And whereas, information has been received by me, that certain evil disposed persons connected with the brigands, who have of late molested and disturbed the peace of the American and British frontiers, have crossed the Niagara river, and that they lurk and secrete themselves in parts of the district of Niagara, with the knowledge and connivance of some of the disaffected resident inhabitants. And whereas it is necessary for the peace and security of the district of Niagara, that the ingress and egress of idle and evil minded persons should be restrained aneprevented, and that the perpetrators of the above outrage, and their abettors, should be brought to condign punishment. I do therefore strictly order and command all officers, ma gistrates, and others whom it may concern, that no person be permitted to land upon or leave the shore on the British side of the Niagara river, coming from or going to the United States territory, unless he shall give a full and reasonable account of himself, and show that he is coming or going in the prosecution of his lawful affairs and business, which per son shall be furnished with a passport, to secure biro. from further hindrance or molestation. And I do hereby earnestly call upon all magistrates, offi cers, and other loyal subjects of the Queen, for their best united exertions in restoring the peace and tranquillity of the province, in the prevention of crime and disorder, acid in the apprehension of the guilty ; and I assure them of every support and assistance which may be required for these pur poses, to the utmost extent of the civil and military powers which her Majesty has been pleased to place in my hands.

About 200 of the 32d regiment have gone from Hamil ton, Upper Canada, to the Short Hills, and on Saturday 250 more regulars were on their march from St. Catherine's to the same destination; also Governor Arthur with 100 from- Queenston. General Clitherow has arrived at Montreal. It is rumoured the Patriots at the Short Hills robbed the Dutchman whose house they burned of 2000 dollars. Chaund ler, their leader, before he was arrested, snapped his musket and knocked down two or three of the assailants with the but end of it. The person who was ploughing in the field, and with whom he was conversing, was shot. Chaundler was summarily tried, and to be shot, it is said, on Monday last. The Patriots are said to have five magistrates, whom they threaten to hang if Chaundler is executed. The regulars and militia in the v►cinity of the Short Hills exceed 1500—the Patriots number GOO. It is again rumoured Bill Johnson has destroyed the William IV. steamer. (From the Daily Express, of the 30th.) MONEY MARKET-CITY NEWS. Friday, p.m. A report is in general circulation in Wall -street, that Mr. Biddle will be here in a week or ten days, for the purpose of making arrangements for opening his new bank or branch; and further, that bank certificates of the western banks will be receive4at. very favourable rates. Whether the report is well or ill founded we cannot say. Now the sub-treasury is defeated, it is a natural Sapposiiion that Mr. Biddle will take early steps to carry into effect the establishment of his bank; and any arrangement that can be made by which southern funds can be turned into cash will produce a most beneficial effect.. The public are suffering beyond all account from the great difficulty negotiating. lf the exchanges on the south can he brought down to 5 or - 8 per cent., instead of 8 or 20, as they now are, it will be most acceptable. The Stock Market yesterday was again active without any material alteration in prices. No sales of United States Bank were made. No change has taken place of any con sequence in domestic exchange, or in current money. There has been, as yet, but little demand for bills on Europe for transmission by the Bristol steam-boat Sirius. Drawers have in consequence lowered their rate.

EXTRACT OP A LETTER FROM QUEBEC, DATED JUNE 23. • " We are all sadly vexed at a report of the intended resig nation of Sir John Colborne, a man who has united the mild ness of a parent and the energy afa soldier—one whose aim, whilst in the Upper Province and before the disturbances, was to exert himself to the utmost to assist and improve the situation of the numerous emigrants who proceeded to that province. From proceedings at the Castle which have leaked out, a war with our neighbours is not a little talked of. Lord Durham has sent for Sir John Harvey.

He then applied to Lord Francis Egerton, M.P., for the county, who gave him the assistance he wanted. This kindness on the part of his lordship has so worked upon the old radical's feelings, that he has since he returned from Lo'ndon joined the Operative Conservatives, and last week he gave an account of his conversion, from what he had always caller liberal principles. He now states that although he has been a radical for forty years, he will now live and die a conservative.—Bolton Chronicle - - - During the past week the Duke of Wellington, as consta ble of the 'rower, paid a visit to the Ordnance Map and Chart-office, in the Tower, attended by the officers attached to his staff as field-marshal, and other military gentlemen of distinction.

Emperfal ljartiamcnt. HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY. NEGRO EMANCIPATION. Lord BROUGHAM, after alluding to the fact, that the noble example set by .Antigua had gradually been followed, first in the smaller colonies, next- in Barbadoes, and lastly in Jamaica itself, by which in all not less than 355,000 indivi duals were emancipated, besides those already emancipated as non-predials and young children, by the law of 1833, moved, "That an humble addreSs be presented to.her Ma jesty, praying that her Majesty wanld be graciously pleased to cause an order in council to be issued, putting a period, under proper provisions and regulations, to negro appren ticeship in the unchartered colonies of the crown." Lord GLENELG said, that he and those who acted with him had always felt and avowed that an earlier termination than 1840 of the apprenticeship was desirable, if that object could be attained by acts of the local legislatures; and he might say, that the movement in Barbadoes was originated by a despatch from himself. It would, however, have been dan gerous to have sought to effect the object without the pre vious sanction and hearty co-operation of the local autho rities. Exactly the same ground applied to the crown colo nies as to the chartered colonies. Similar instructions to those sent out to the chartered colonies bad been forwarded to the crown colonies, and he had no doubt they would be acted upon by the local authorities, who would legislate in the same spirit as the former had legislated. He was : happy in being able to state, that in fact, the legislatures of the 'crown colonies had followed the examples set them by the legislatures of the chartered colonies ; for, in addition to the information alluded to by the noble and learned lord, similar satisfactory accounts had lately been received from Grenada, and also from the Bahamas; and further, that in some of the crown colonies the governors intended to submit to the legis lative bodies acts of the same nature as those which had been carried elsewhere, and that no doubt was entertained of their success. His lordship then proceeded 'to describe what had been done in Trinidad, Santa Lucia, and in Guiana. He said that he had every reason for anticipating the same satis factory result in the !Mauritius. Lord BROUGHA M expressed himself highly gratified by the information communicated by the noble lord. antrivithdrew his motion, on an understanding that government would, in despatches to the different governors, urge in the most earnest manner the carrying o f Shriller measures in the crown colonies to those adopted by the legislatures of the chartered colonies. The benefices plurality' bill went through--a committee. The report was orderer/ to be received on Friday,next. The church discipline bill and the sheriffs' courts bill were read a second time,- and ordered to he committed on Thurs day. • ; heir lordships then adjourned at twelve o'clock. HOUSE OF COMINIONS-11oNnAv. THE FACTORY QUESTION. Lord AS HLEY gave notice,.that upon the first motion. for going into a cciMmittee of supply, he would move the reso lution relative to the factory question, which stood on Thurs day's paper. NEGRO APPRENTICESHIP IN JAMAICA. . . . Sir G. GREY stated, in answer to au inquiry by Mr. O'Connell, that the legislature of Jamaica had made pro vision for the termination of the negro apprenticeship system on Ist of August next. IRISH TITHE BILL. Lord Jot's; R ussEi.i.;ttecitii;co;rse which ministers pro posed to take in reference to this measure; how far they were disposed to adopt the suggestion of Sir Robert Peel, and in what respects they felt bound to deviate from it. Instead of £640,000 out of the million, £740,000 had been expended, because £lOO,OOO had been granted to the ecclesiastical com missioners under a special statute. This would leave £260,000 vet unapplied; and this sum, together with so much of the £740,000 as could be recovered from landlords, it was pro posed to devote to the payment of arrears of tithe composi tions due from occupying tenants in the years 1836 and 1837. In addition to the £260,000, it was his opinion that the sum to be recovered from landlords (whom he did not intend to relieve from liability, but the tenants only) would amount to £300,000. Thus, the sum of £560,000 might be applied to the payment of arrears of 1836 and 1837. " Though we yield," added his lordship emphatically) to the general wish of the house upon this question, we still think that the propo sition is not favourable to the permanent interests of the Church of Ireland. We feat that the payment of arrears due from persons who have refused obedience to the law will offer a species of premium upon tithe resistance, which is ill cal culated to promote the stability of the Protestant Church in Ireland." His lordship said he objected to make it optional with titheowners to accept or refuse this arrangement, which it was intended to effect, not by a new set of paid commission ers, but through the agency of persons already in office. The noble lord concluded by moving, as was understood, that the house resolve itself into committee upon the 3d and 4th Will. IV. (the Million Act,) and another act. Mr. HUME put it to the noble lord and the house, whether the house of commons had ever entered upon a vote of a mil lion of public money without previous notice given ? Lord J. RUSSELL said, that if the hon. member persisted in ohjecting . to the 'notion upon that ground, he might, per haps be strictly justified; but be thought that the notice which he (Lord J. Russell) bad given of the intention of go vernment on this subject had for all useful purposes been sufficient.—(Hear.) • Mr. Hust said it ought not to be to him, but the Chan cellOr of the Exchequer, who should stand forward to protect the public purse; but when he saw that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, instead of interfering, actually connived at the contemplated act of robbery, he was bound to stand forward. Sir It. PEEL said that at this late period of the session he was not disposed to throw any impediment in the way of this measure on a point of form. At the same time, whilst he should consent to the motion of the noble lord for going into committee, he begged it to be understood that he did not pledge himself to the contemplated arrangement upon the first statement of the noble lord. After a short discussion, the house resolved itself into com mittee; the resolutions were proposed, and the house then resumed. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the house being in possession of these new clauses, he should propoSethat'they now go,into committee upon the remaining clauses of the tithe bill. Sir G. SiNct„ttut gave notice that, when the report was brought up, he should take the, opportunity of making some observations' on the conduct of the Irish government. Several clauses were then agreecrtn. On the reading of clause 9, v,hich relates to the revision of tithe compositions.on application to the lord - lieittenant in council, Mr. LEFROY proposed the omission of that clause, and all the following clauses to clause 19. He objected to the whole of those clauses, on account of the manner in which they proposed to revise the composition of tithe, and especially on account of the mode of appeal. The committee, after a short discussion, divided on this amendment, when the numbers were—for the amendment, 88; against it, 103; majority, 15. The remaining clauses and preamble were then agreed to, and the house resumed to report on Thursday. Lord J. RUSSELL intimated that,. having considered the point, he was willing to postpone the resolutions, which were now fixed for consideration to.inorrow, till Thursday. TRADING COMPANIES BILL On the motion of Mr. C. P. TutomsoN, the house went into committee on•this bill. The house resumed, and the re port Was ordered to be received to-morrow. HIGHWAY RATES BILL. This bill was reaCiili;citinie. Mr. GRIMSDITCH moved the .insertion of a clause in the bill, by which it should be provided that the amount of all rates collected in any parish or township should he applied only to the repair of the roads in that parish or township. After a short conversation, the clause was ordered to be brought up. On the question that it be read a third time, the house divided. Vor the clause, 12; against it, 41; ma jority against the clause, 32. The bill then passed.—Adjourned at one o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDAY. The Dean Forest Encroachments Bill (with amendments), - and the Dean Forest Mines Bill (with amendments), were severally read the third time and passed. The Entails (Scot land) Bill went through committee. The Earl of WINCH ILSEA having moved for a return re specting the appointments made by Lord Durham since his arrival in Canada, inquired, as a vessel bad just arrived from that country, whether any information had been received of the appoint - latent to office of Mr. Gibbon Wakefield by Lord Durham; and whether Sir J. Colborne had resigned in con sequence of having required an increased military force. Lord MELBOURNE answered that no information had been received regarding the appointment to which allusion had been made; but that, with respect to the other. question; he thought it would be admitted that it was one to which the government ought not to give any answer. He, however, afterwards stated (the Earl of Winchilsea havi ng followed up his inquiry) that Sir J. Colborne certainly had requested to be relieved from his command, he having required more troops, and the government thinking that there was nothing in the present state of affairs in Canada to warrant an ad dition. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY inquired whether there were not a vessel loading with arms to Spain; and secondly, whether it would be allowed to proceed previously to a satis factory adjustment of the claims of the legion on the. Spanish government. Lord MELBOURNE thought that the first question had better be asked of Earl Minto when he was present; and, with respect to the second, said that a commission was pro ceeding with the investigation of the claims, and that the government would not relax in efforts to secure a satisfactory adjustment. The Juvenile Offenders Bill, on motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, was considered in committee. Lord WHARNCLIFFE called attention to the appointment of magistrates, particularly in the west riding of Yorkshire, declaring that the lord chancellor now made the appointments with reference to the politics of the parties, and with the view of " balancing" the political opinions of the bench, which he viewed as the commencement of a new..system,-aatt one; of a very prejudicial tendency. He moved for a copy or copies of any petition, memorial, or other communication made to the lord high chanCellor from any person or persons residing at Leeds or its neighbourhood, or in the wapentake of Skyrac, respecting the insertion of certain names in the commission of the peace for the west riding of the county of York o o d n ; the hi s lordshipproposi di f s o p r o , r a d rd of b The Lord CriaxcaLLor. said that this m o ti on h a d b een i n v o t n h e a. Ea former f ar evening ad witted that he had been guided i n hig mag i ster i al appoint broughteffect men ta by the political opinions of parties already on the bench, having sought, where there was any, preponderance of political opinions, to counteract it by the introduction of persons hold ing opposite sentiments. The motion, after some discussion, was understood to be withdrawn. The report of the Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Bill was agreed to, Lord MELBOURNE stating that he should not offer any op position to the details that had been introduced into the bill. He considered opposition would be useless. The other business being disposed of, their lordships ad journed. ROUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY There was a ballot for the Maidstone election commit tee. The Coal Trade Bill, and the Edinburgh and Leith Agree ment Bill, were severally read the third time and passed. Mr. H UNIE gave several notices of motions, one of which was against continuing the monopoly enjoyed bythe Bank of Ireland. A committee on the Militia Estimates was appointed, after extended conversation and a division. The Glass Duties Bill was read the third time and passed, after much conversation regarding its details... The RegiAtr.iion E1e..4.., Dill uaa cot►sidered at great length in committee, occupying almost all the remainder of the sitting. HOUSE OF COMMONS—WEDNESDAY. The Speaker took the chair at four o'clock. MIDDLESEX COUNTY COURTS. Mr. CRAWFORD moved the adjourned debate on the Mid dlesex county courts' bill. Sir E. SCGDEN moved that the 40th clause be expunged from the bill. _ After a few words from Mr. F. MA ULE and Mr. ActtoNsv, the house divided, when there appeared—Against the clause, 26; for it, 16. Majority, 10. Clauses 40 to 44 were struck out of the bill. The report on the Fisbguard harbour bill was brought up and agreed to. IRISH TITHES. Mr. HUME gave notice that ,on Thursday, when the noble lord the Secretary for the Home Department brought forward his motion respecting the arrears at Irish tithes, be should move a resolution to the effect that such a plan would be highly inexpedient and unjust. FOREIGN COMMERCE. Mr. MAC LEAN gave notice that on the 26th instant be should call the attention of the housito the petition presented film Glasgow, relating to the state of the foreign commerce of the country. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS (IRELAND). On the motion of Mr. E. TENNENT, the house went into committee on the Registration of Voters (Ireland, No. 2) Bill. The clauses were agreed to without amendment, and the bill ordered to be read a third time. The Sugar Refining Patent Bill was read a second time. WESTERN AUSTRALIA BILL. After a short discussion the Western Australia Bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed. RECOVERY OF TENEMENTS BILL. Mr. AGLIONBY moved that the house resolve itself into committee on the Recovery of Tenements Bill. Sir E KNATCHBULL trusted that the hon. member would postpone this bill until another session, as many country gentlemen who were anxious to take part in the debate were absent. Mr. AGLIONBY said the bill had been before the house three sessions, and therefore he could not consent to any fur ther postponement. He should if possible, ,pass it through parliament before the adjournment. Sir E. SUGDEN, at considerable length, opposed the bill. He considered it would be giving a great . advantage to the rich over the poor, and, therefore, he moved as an amend ment, that the bill be committed that day three months. The real object of the bill was to turn every humble tenant out of his premises, at the will of the landlord ; and that was a principle which he wished a British House of Commons would never sanction. (Hear.) A more objectionable measure, he firmly believed, was never brought under the consideration of the legislature. It was an attempt to grind the poor for the benefit of the rich. Sir E. WILMOT said he entirely differed in opinion with the right hon. gentleman ; he did not think the bill would interfere with the rights and interests of the poor; if he for a moment entertained such an idea, he would oppose it with all his power; but be believed it would have acontrary effect, and that it would confer a great benefit on the•public. Mr. AGLIONBY defended the provisions of the bill, and de. Died that it was at all calculated to support tyranny or op pression. The bill had been fully considered by a fair and important committee, and, therefore he felt it his duty to per severe with it. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL strongly supported the bill. If it was ahunpopular measure he was willing to have his share of the unpopularity, for he had always been a strenuous sup porter of the bill ever since its first introduction, three years since. The hon. and learned member contended that the bill would confer a benefit upon all parties, and he was sure it would be well received by the public. The house divided, when there appeared— For going , into committee ll2 - . l' or the amendment 7 Majority The house then went into committee ou the bill.

That every copyholder of the annual value of £lO and upwards, and in possession twelv e - months previous to the 31st or JON; is entitled to be registered, provided such copy hold`does not and may not confer a right to the elective fianchise of any borough.

This caution, however, we must emphatically give:— Every claim must be delivered to an Overseer of' the Parish or Township in which the qualifiCation is situate On or before the 20th July, and such claim must be accompanied by time sum of ls.

PORTSMOUTH, JULY 1 4 . —Admiral Sir Philip Durham returned this evening from a long leave of absence, and re sumed the command at this port. It is understood he has succeeded in inducing the whole of the distinguished foreign ambassadors, &c. who are come to this country in honour of the coronation (including the Duke of Dalmatia), to pay Visit to this port in a fors days,—Hconpthiro Telegraph. MISCELLANEOUS. Among the Queen's state ratermen at the coronation, was an old man 91 years of age, who walked in the procession at the coronation of three` Kings, viz.: George 111., and IV., and William IV. The tolls between Bridgewater and Tiverton, fell on the annual letting last week, near 5001, owing to the decrease in traffic and travelling. A forgery to a considerable extent has, we hear, been com mitted on a West-end banking house, in the name of a gentle man of large fortune in Wiltshire. SUFFOLK.—Never did the crops of wheat, barley, oats, beans, or peas, appear in a more flourishing condition than in most parts of this county at the present time.—Suplk Chron. Such is the enormous increase of the Swansea copper mar ket, that a single firm at the ticketing, on Wednesday, pur chased to the amount of £l6,ooo.—Carnarvon Herald. THE CANARY.—I have known the canary to be killed by keeping him in the same room where children have had the small-pox, and the measles have the same effect.—Smith' s Instructions for breeding the Canary. REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE.—IncredibIe as it may ap pear, it is nevertheless true, that Air. M. N. S. Murphy has been twice right in his predictions within the last ten days ! The fact is sufficient to sell another edition of his almanac. A worthy alderman who has passed the chair, overhearing himself alluded to bv 'one of the foreign visitors, as " le feu mare," whispered to a byestander with great apparent com placency, that there had certainly been but few mayoralties such as his.—Morniny Herald. There was such a heavy fall of snow on the 29th ult., at the Font de Cere, in the Cantal, that the agents of the Ponts-et- Chaussee, who were employed in making a survey, were obliged to suspend their labours. Mi. Allen, of Langriville, has now in his possession a black ewe that has bred him 35 lambs (17 pairs and one single lamb) in 18 successive years; she is now 21 years old, and has a pair of lambs sucking this season. Travellers by the London and Birmingham railroad com plain of the drunken reckless conduct of the drivers of some of the coaches between Denbigh Ilall and Rugby; and it would be well if the evil were corrected before some serious accident occurs. We regret to learn that the Bishop of London, while coming to town on Saturday from .Fulhain, at rather a quick pace, was thrown 'from his horse. and broke his collar b o n e .— , , Under the judicious care of Mr. li.eate. however, his lordship is'dOing well.—ltforniag Herald. STATEIOF TRADE.—The stock of goods in the hands of our manufacturers is now being quickly reduced, but at no ad vance in prices. To-day (Monday) there was a fair sale of all descriptions, but those goods which have been kept on hand were disposed of at prices which will not remunerate the manufacturer.-.-Blackburn Standard. In the neighbourhood of Falmouth, two tame doves, both of them cocks, have leen sitting by turns for some time on an egg of a common fowl. On Tuesday last, the usual time for sitting having expired, the shell was broken and the chick en made its appearance. We understand the little produce of their patient toils is in a fine state of preservation, and up to the last account enjoyed perfect health.--Falmouth Express. EXTRAORDINARY PER FOR HANCE.—Gow, the celebrated Northumbrian swimther, performed some of the most unpa ralleled feats in the Dee, near the Grosvenor Bridge, on Tuesday evening. The assemblage of spectators was im mense; and though we have not heard the amount collected, we hope he met wi►h the reward he merited.—Chester Gaz. OUTRAGE.—As a quiet, inoffensive Protestant, named M‘Murray, was returning to his home, up the Falls road, on Saturday night, he was attacked near Mr. Alexander's mills, by three men, by whom he was severely beaten, and left in a helpless state.—Beyissi Chronicle. CHESTER AND CREWE RAILWAY.—We are glad to find that the contract for making the first seven miles of this railway, was taken yesterday by Mr. Thomas Brassey, the contractor, whose work on other railways has given so much satisfaction. The work will be commenced immediately.— Chester Gazette. REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE.—Few of our readers are aware how justly our Virgin Queen has been termed the " Rose of England," for the day chosen for the august cere mony of her coronation is the anniversary of that upon which roses were first planted in this highly-favoured land in 1522. A THUNDERING STORY.—A person had been relating many incredible stories, when Professor Engel, who was present, in order to repress his impertinence, said, " But, gentlemen, all this amounts to but very little, when I can assure you that the celebrated organ►st, Abbe Vogler, once imitated a thunderstorm so well, that for four miles round all the milk turned sour. At Newton, in Herefordshire, a curious species of worm has made its appearance on the oak trees in great numbers. They have somewhat the form of the hair-worm, but they are quite white, and two or three inches long. On examining them with a microscope, they appear to have heads formed like lampreys ; they fall from the trees to the ground in thousauds.—He: eford Journal. ANIMAL MAGNETISM.—We are informed that one of the female patients, or rather actresses, in the London Univer sity, has, like Petronella Leclerc, in Paris, turned traitress - , and peached about the tricks and contrivances; for which she has been unceremoniously dismissed from her situation in the hospital.—Literary Gazett6. THE HARVEST.—Haymaking has commenced generally in the counties of Meath and Louth; the crop is represented to us as being most abundant. Wheat, barley, and oats are very generally shot out, and th e promise of an abundant harvest stares us at every step we take through the country. —Drogheda Journal. LORD TEN! PLEmoRE.—The alleged ejection of Presbyterian tenants from the property of Lord Templemore, near D err y, was brought under the notice of the Synod on Tuesday evening, when a decided and unanimous feeling was ex pressed that there was no foundation whatever for any charge of persecution against either the noble landlord or his agent. —Belbst Chronicle. SUPERSTITION OF THE GREEK CHURCH.—The St. Peters burgh journals publish hn Ukase, prescribing the rules to be observed with regard to the images of saints found in the pos session of bankrupts. All the ornaments in gold or precious stones belonging to the frames may hereafter be sold for the benefit of the creditors when they have not been sanctified by touching the images, or when they are detached therefrom, as in the latter, case the pre existent prnf.n.tien naturally fails on the owners, and cannot affect the prosecuting credi tors. A SLIGHT MISTAKE..—A certain citiian o; some repute, who was present' at the receptlim of Marshal Soult by the dock company, brought home to his lady a note which a friend had given him of the marshal's speech, beginning, as it did, " J'eprouve one profonde impression en repondant au toast que vient de porter M. le President." "I do not talk French," said the worthy citizen, "but I understand enough of it to perceive that old Soult began by approving the wine and porter we gave hiin."—London Paper. NEW Pools LAWS.—The poor law commissioners have sent their fiat to the guardians of the Chelmsford union, com manding them not, under any circumstances, and without regard to the number of children in the family, to give in future out-door relief to able-bodied labourers. The guar dians regretted that such an order should be made until after the ensuing winter, as cases of the most extreme hardship may be the result of taking from,the board the discretionary powers hitherto exercised.—Chelmsford Chronicle. When Mr. Hankey was in vogue as a banker, a sailor had as part of his pay, a draft on him for fifty pounds.—This the sailor thought an immense sum, and calling at the house, in sisted upon seeing the master in private.—This was at length acceded to; and when the banker and the sailor met together, the following conversation ensued. Sailor, Mr. Hankey, I've got a tickler for you—didn't like to expose you before the lads.—Hankey: That was kind. Pray, what's the tickler? —Sailor: Never mind, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you; 'tis a fifty.—Hankey : Ah; that's a tickler indeed.—Sailor: Don't fret; give me five pounds now, and the rest at somuch per week, I shan't mention it to anybody. SUSSEX.—In the neighbourhood of Lewes, hay-making is progressing' briskly, both in seeds and meadow. The former are generally good, but the latter on the high lands are short ; in the brooks and low lands they are better. In the vicinity of Chailey, the good effect of using the drain-plough fourteen inches deep and a rod apart is particularly striking; where this machine has been used the crop is good, hut otherwise it is indifferent. At Hurstbarns, the property of Lord Abin ger, the drains have stood fourteen years, and seem to be in an excellent state; the drains wanting occasionally to be open at the ends. The late favourable rains have brought forward the wheat crop, which appear strong and healthy. In the Weal and Down farms they are generally thin, but the barley and oat crops are good.- - Sussex Express. THEBOARD OF TRADE AND THE " SWINISH MULTITUDE." —A curious correspondence has for some time past been going on between the board of trade and the owners of Irish steam vessels as to the best mode of protecting her Majesty's subjects from the danger which not unfrequentiv arises from the large cargoes of pigs crowded on board. When a squall tames on, the swinish multitude becomes very squeaky, and their general turbulence greatly obstructs the right working of the vessel. At present, the matter is receiving the grave consideration of the Right Hon. Mr. Poulett Thompson, but it is not expected anything can he done in the present session •of parliament. In the next it is expected to be made a cabinet ineasure.—Belfast paper. Egypt is fast becoming of moment in the opinion of other nations. Five years ago there was not a single steam-vessel of any nation plying from Egypt; now, those of England, France, Austria, and Egypt, number eighteen regular oppor tunities to and fro every mouth from Alexandria. When will our Government build the "Great Eastern," of 1500 tons, to go direct (both ways) between Plymouth and Alex andria in fifteen days, with India mails and passengers, and thus keep the French and Austrian lines troth our Indian correspondence? I shall visit Canton via Calcutta, and see if sufficient interest and capital cannot be realised there for - the extension of Indian- steam-navigation to China.—Ex tract of a Leiter front Mr. Waaliorn. THE LANCASTER AND PRESTON RAILWAY.—The line at the Lancaster end of our railway is progressing wth great rapidity. At the Hole-of-Ellel, a double culvert has just been completed; and the stage for the viaduct at Galgate is nearly ready for the reception of the crane. This stage is a rather formidable work. It stands forty feet above the level of the road. Upon it will rest a crane which travels to and fro, at the will of the workmen, and by this crane, of course, ,materials for building the viaduct will be raised. The founda tion of two bridges are laid, one near Foxholes, and the other at Burrow-beck; and a third situated behind Scotford, is nearly completed —Lancaster' Gazette. THE IRON TRADE.—We are authorised to state, that for the convenience of all parties, a new arrangement has been made between the iron-masters, the merchants, and manu facturers, by which the Birmingham quarterly meetings will in future take place the second Thursday in the month suc ceeding each quarter-day respectively, so that Thursday next will be the quarter-day at Birmingham; Tuesday the 10th at Walsall, Wednesday the 11th at Wolverhampton, Friday the 13th at Stourbridge,' and Saturday the 15th at Dudley. This arrangement makes a deviation from the dates given on the old principle in the Birmingham almanack, but the days will be accordant with those announced in the same almanack for October. —Merthyr Guardian. A RICH BEGGAR.--A female mendicant. was brought not long ago before the magistrate of Amboise. On investiga tion it was discovered that she was owner of a small cottage, for which she had paid 500 fr., a sum of 2,600 fr. in silver money in one bag, and an unaccountable number of two sou, pieces of mixed metal, distributed in closets, chests, baskets, and other places of concealment, which were put by the ma gistrates into .two casks, and estimated by measure and weight at no less than B,ooofr. The rich beggarwoman had besides ninety knives .of all sizes and shapes, a gold pin, a saver pencit-case ' end large. store of plate, linen, and household gear. On being questioned how she came by all this wealth, she affirmed.that she had acquired. it by gather ing herbs, and selling them, and by collecting manure ou the roads. "No OTHER JOURNAL HAS THE NEWS."—Ati American country paper says, under this head—" We stop the press to announce the important intelligence that we have no more paper, and that our ink is all out. If our delinquent subscri bers have any bowels of compassion they will immediately book up what they owe us in order to enable us to go on with our business. If they do not this is the last sheet we shall be able to send them—as we are tired of writing for nothing and finding ourselves. N.B.—The paper maker will not tiust us with another ream, unless we pay up arrearagee. 2d N.B.— This journal will be published every now and then, until fur ther notice. 3d N.B.—The sheriff is waiting for us in the next room, so we have no,opportunity to be pathetic. Major Nabem says we are wanted and must go. Delinquent sub scribers, you have much to answer for, HEAVEN may forgive you, but I nem can.—D, I. o,'! • Lord Dundas will be appointed lord lieutenant of the north riding of Yorkshire, vacant by the death of the Duke of Leeds. —Ministerial paper. The government of Peru have declared Valparaiso under blockade from the 26th of August; and the government of Chili have declared Callao and two other Peruvian ports under blockade from the 18th April. The Duke of Sutherland and the Duke of Cleveland are doth spoken of as likely to get the garter, vacant by the demise of the Duke of Leeds. The complaint which carried off the noble duke was gout at the stomach. DINNER Hoots--The fashionable dinner has this season advanced full an hour, and has very nearly overtaken that Which, fifty years ago, was the supper hour; in which latter meal the former will, it is imagined, soon merge altogether. INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF IRISH CONSTABULARY.—COI. ITGregor arrived at Bristol by the Great Western. The gallant colonel is hourly expected in Dublin, to assume the duties of inspector-general of constabulary.—Dublin Evening Post. A correspondent to the Sussex Agricultural Express states, that he has found, by using a top dressing of gas ashes, after sowing turnip seed, the plants are effectually preserved from the fly, which is attributable to the odour arising from the ashes.' A QUEEN ANNE FARTHING—Within the ancient man sion of Staincliffe, near Middleton, there was recently dis covered a farthing of Queen Anne. It was found amongst a choice collection of scarce and interesting coins, and is now in the possession of Mr. John Pilkington, Little Park, who is distinguished for a laudable desire to accumulate what ever is curious in the antiquities of the neighbourhood. ABELA RD.—A manuscript has been found in the Vatican library, which, among other things, contains the songs of helard, with their musical notation. The celebrated Abbe Raines (author of the Life of Palestrina) is about to give a modern dress to them, which is to be edited by a German now in Rome. A joint-stock company is establishing at Coblentz, for forming a railroad from that city to Ems, which will be car ried by a tunnel, about 31 French leagues in length, through the heights of Pfaffendorf near Ehrenbreitstein, and will, consequently, be longer than any railroad tunnel out of En gland. The road is estimated to cost 360,000 thalers, (about 1,300,000 francs,) of which sum the tunnel will take 220,000 thalers. MARSHAL SOULT.-It seems that the corporation of Liver pool actually sent a deputation to London to invite Marshal Soult to dinner, and in compliance the marshal has fixed the 20th instant for his visit. Of course when they get himdown, the loyal corporators will present him with a vote of thanks for his services during the war.—Lancaster Gazette. Government have at this moment at their disposal a lord lieutenancy for a county in each part of the United King dom :—The North Riding of York, in place of the late Duke of Leeds ; the county of Kilkenny, in place of the late Mar quis of Ortnond; and the county of Renfrew, in place of the late Mr. Campbell, of Blvtheswood. LORD LIEUTENANCY OF THE NORTH RIDING.—The death of the Duke of Leeds occasions a vacancy in the lord lieutenancy of the North Riding of Yorkshire; and it is rumoured that the appointment will be conferred upon the Earl of Zetland, or upon his son now Lord D'sndas. Other reports state that either the Marquis of Norwanby or Earl Fitzwilliam will succeed the noble duke.—Leeds Mercury. STATE OF TRADE.—There was rather more business doing in the yarn market yesterday, principally, we believe, for Russian account; but it was extremely difficulty to obtain previous prices, and, in many instances, reduced rates were submitted to. In goods there was a fair business doing, especially in shirtings and printing cloths; but the drooping and, uncertain state of the cotton market continues to have a rather unfavourable effect upon prices.—Manchester Guar dian, Wednesday. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JULY 16.—We have had a good demand to-day for goods of the coarser kind, but there has been no improvement in the price, Flannels of the finer qualities have been little inquired for, and few have been sold. Wool still keeps up its price, though the demand is but limited, and the manufacturers are purchasing only for immediate use.—Manchester Guardian, li'ednesday. THE PULASKI STEAMER.—We understand that a 11Ir Stansfield, of Todmorden, was one of the unfortunate indi viduals in this packet when its boiler burst, on its passage from Charleston to Baltimore, on the 14th ult. When the vessel went down, he got upon a raft with a number of others, and was exposed four days and four nights at sea, without food or water. Soon after he was brought to land, it is spid, he died of exhaustion.—Manchester Guardian. AFFAIR OF HONOUR AT ROCHDALE.—In consequence of some dispute which originated at a public dinner in Rochdale, on Thursday evening last, a hostile meeting took place the following morning-at four o'clock, betwixt a gentleman from Manchester and another residing at Rochdale- each being attended by a military officer The parties took theirground at a distance of twelve paces; and after exchanging twoshots each without mischief, the seconds interfered, and declared that the matter should proceed no further. The belligerents then shook hands, and parted amicably. A LONG DANCE.—The Countess of Cadogan gave a ball on Monday night, at her residence in Piccadilly. The com pany exceeded five hundred in number, and included some of the principal members of the beau monde. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke de Nemours and Prince George of Cambridge danced with the Ladies Augusta and Honora Cadogan several times in the course of the evening. Dancing commenced shortly before eleven, and concluded before five with a German Dance, which lasted upwards of an hour and a half The cold which marked the commencement of the present year has been extremely long in its duration in Sweden, as we learn by a letter from Stockholm. On the 10th inst. the northern side of the Isle of Ocland, in the Baltic, was still blocked up with immense masses of ice, which extended to a distance of seven French leagues into the sea, and which, on several points, were so close to each other that, when seen from some distance, they seemed to form but a single mass. They were five feet thick, and had chilled the atmosphere to such a degree as to put a stop to vegetation. In the Arctic Ocean and White Sea, too, the masses of floating ice were unusually abundant. An English merchant vessel, on her voyage from London to Archangel, recently struck against some of these blocks, and went to pieces at a short distance from the latter port.—French Paper- _ SUBMARINE VOLCANO.—On the 25th of last November the Captain and passengers of the brig Caesar, from Havre, nn passing the bank of Bahama, saw an enormous fire, which increased till it had tinged the whole sky and part of the horizon. It was kept in sight for four hours, and could only be accounted for as proceeding from a stibmarine volcano. On the 5d of January the captain of the Sylphide, also from Havre ' being on the same spot, found the sea disturb e d a nd of a whitish colour, which he attributed to the same cause. To these notices, conveyed to the French Academy of Sciences, M. Moreau de Joannes adds, that on the 30th of the same December an earthquake took place at Martinique. The shock was violent, and the heat very great. GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL.-We have great plea sure in drawing the attention of our readers to the advertise ment containing the announcement of the forthcoming musical festival. When we recollect the great increase of power gained at the last meeting, by bringing the morning performances into the nave of the cathedral, and increasing the number of performers to two hundred, we cannot but express our satisfaction at the promise of the magnificent effect of a band and chorus still more considerably augment ed, very far exceeding anything before heard in that city.. Gloucester Cathedral, it is well known. is considered to be the best adapted in the kingdom for musical purposes, the volume of tone produced by the band being greatly increased by the structure of the building, and at the same time equally favourable to the single voice. In addition to the increase in the number of performers, the list of principal singers, although still incomplete, presents us with a host of first-rate talent, such indeed as has never been exceeded at any pro vincial festival. THE NEW GREAT SEAL OF ENGLAND.—The following is a description of the new " great seal," which has just been finished by Mr. Wyon, principal engraver of her Majesty's seals. It is said to be a beautiful specimen of art:—Obverse —An equestrian figure of her Majesty, attended by a page. The Queen is supposed to be riding in state; over a riding habit she is attired in a large robe, or cloak, and the collar of the order of the Garter; in her right hand she carries a sceptre, and on her head is placed a royal diadem. The attendant page, with his hat in hand, looks up to the Queen, whilst gently restraining the impatient horse, which is richly decorated with plumes and trappings. The inscription, "Victoria, DEI Gratia Britanniarum Regina, Fidei Defen sor," is engraved in Gothic letters, and the spaces between the words are filled with heraldic roses. Reverse—The Queen, royally robed and crowned, holding in her right hand the sceptre and in the left the orb, is seated upon the throne, beneath a rich Gothic canopy ; on either side is a figure of Justice and Religion; and iu the exergue are the royal arms and crown; the whole encircled by a wreath or border of oak and roses. VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY.—Letters have been received from Captain d'Urville, commanding the Astrolabe, which, with the Zelee, sailed from Toulon last September, to make a voyage of discovery in the Pacific Ocean, as our readers will probably recollect. They were brought to New London, in Connecticut, by the American South Sea whaler Al' Donough, Captain Lawton, who, on the 12th of March, found them de posited in the post-oox established by Captain d'Urville at Port Famine, in the Straits of Magellan. A barrel had pre viously been placed on a post set up on this desert shore by the captain of another vessel; and Captain d'Urville re placed it by a box, as being more secure, putting in it the letters contained in the barrel, and his own despatches, with directions, begging whoever found them to forward them to Europe or the United States. It appears by Capt. d'Urville's despatches, that the vessel arrived safely at Port Famine from Rio Janeiro, on the 15th December, and intended sail ing on the 28th, if the wind should admit. No further con tents of the despatch have yet been published. Severa; letters for England have come to Europe from the same spot' —Galignani's Jlevenger. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF MURDER.—Perhaps a more painfully humiliating andheart-rending scene could not have been witnessed than the committal, on Monday evening last, to the gaol of this city (Aberdeen) of two ragged little boys, (brothers,) of the ages of 10 and 9 years respectively, on the serious charge of having murdered their cousin, an infant of three years of age, at Cromblet, in the parish of Fyvie, on Saturday last. On their reception at the gaol, the keeper, in searching their persons, took from them some scraps of beef, oat cake, &c., and was about to deprive them of a few marbles, observing that they would have no use for such play things. Thereupon, the wretched little criminals, apparently quite unconscious of their situation, fell a crying, and be seeched the gaoler that he would spare them their marbles! Being told that this could not be allowed, they exclaimed— "o, keep them, then, till we get out again !" The names of the unhappy boys are George and Isaac Newlands; that of their wretched victim is, Joanna M'Allister. They are charged with having effected their purpose by striking the poor infant with sticks and stones, so as almost immediately to extinguish life. They all belong to a gang of tinkers, better known than trusted in this locality. Several of the fraternity have been tried and convicted before our criminal courts for various offences. The boys can neither read nor write. As the case is at present under judicial investigation, we forbear any remarks. As it involves the sacrifice of human life, under circumstances of a most extraordinary nature, the authorities will spare no pains in thoroughly in vestigating the whole affair. —Aberdeen Paper. EFFECTS OF A WHIRLWIND.—That phenomenon which is known by this familiar name, was witnessed with great atten tion and no small cause of apprehension on Wednesday last, by Mr. John Prestwood, of Branston, near this city, whose minute description we state almost in his own words. About a quarter before three, just preceding the storm, a whirl of air was seen to approach from the east, and to become a vast column about eighty yards in height, and as large round as a hay-stack that should have about fifteen tons of hay in it. It approached the field slowly where Mr. Prestwood and his men were hay-making, and took up the hay, in a spiral ascent, to a vast height, carrying it to a great distance, going off across the adjoining fields. In about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour another great tornado was seen to ap ',proach out of the same quarter, proceeding in the same route , 'as the other; but it took across a fallow piece about sixty yards from Prestwood's house; it made a turn to the right, and then along the fallow field; there then occurred a sight most wonderful, for it tore up the earth and raised it to a great height in a black mass that seemed to be full of fire, with thundering and lightning out of the midst of it the noise and crackling were hideous and appalling. It missed the house by a few yards, and Prestwood believes that if it had passed over it the whole would have been carried away. The cdiner of an outhouse, and nearly a ton weight of newly cut thorns, were taken along with it, and scattered in all directions. It did not go faster than a horse could keep up with it. Its course then went whirling and curving towards Canwick. The cattle that beheld it fled about in order to avoid the danger; and such was its force, that anything that lay in its way pot, have been cleWoyed,—.Liaegla (iaotte, THEATRE-ROYAL, LIVERPOOL.
