HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY Lord BROM:MA/4 brought up the report of the select com mittee on the County Courts Extension bill, and at the same time expressed his intention of visiting America in the spring when lie hoped to have the pleasure of taking with him a copy of the bill as a satisfactory proof of the progress which this count ry is making in the law of debtor and creditor. The report was to be taken into consideration on Thursday right. The house then went into committee on the Factories Bill. The Earl of HARROWDY moved the insertion of an amend ment in the first clause, limiting the labour of children to the extent proposed .in the case of" women and young persons." The amendment was negatived by a majority of 33, 25 voting for and 58 against it. . . The Duke of RICHMOND then moved an amendment, similar to :that proposed by Lord John Manners in the Commons, fxing halt-past five for six, p.m., as the hour of closing the fac tories in the evening. . Lord STANLEY and the Bishop of OXFORD supported the amendment, which was opposed by Earl GRANVILLE, the Bishop of MANCHESTER, the Earl of GALLOWAY, and the Mar quis of LANSDOWNE, and ultimately lost by a majority of 13, 39 voting for and 52 against. The bill, which relieves " women and young persons" from mill work before sirin the morning or after six o'clock in the evening, then passed through coin =Mee. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY The committee of the Mercantile Marine (No. 2) Bill was resumed, and some further progress made with the clauses. The Hon. F. Scorn suggested that in token of respect to the illustrious duke, whose funeral had taken place that day, the house should at once adjourn. Some discussion ensued, but ultimately the suggestion was adopted. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. The Copyholds Enfranchisement Bill passed through com mittee, and the Smoke Prohibition Bill was withdrawn. .• HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY The house went into committee on the Mercantile Marine Bill, commencing with the continuation of the 61st clause. Six clauses were, after a great deal of discussion and several divi sions, agreed to, and at the 67th clause the house adjourned, it keing three o'clock. _ _ _ _ . Lord M A ncus HILL brought up her Majesty's reply to the address of condolence upon the death of the Duke of Cam bridge. The noble lord subsequently brought up her Majesty's answer to the address respecting the erection of a monument to the memory of Sir R. t'eel in Westminster Abbey, in which her Majesty assured the house that she had given directions in conformity with the wishes of the house. Lord SEYMOUR also appeared before the bar, with the answer of the Duchess of Cambridge to the address of the house con doling with her royal highness upon the death of her late husband. Mr. O'CONNOR gave notice that on this day fortnight he should move that the union between Great Britain and Ireland be repealed. (Loud laughter.) _ . . . The ndjourn s ed debate - upon'the University Commission was then resumed by Mr. R. Palmer. After Sir G. Grey had spoken, Mr. STEWART moved an amendment to the effect that the government commission was illegal and unconstitutional. Mr. H. Drummond and Mr. Bunbary supported the motion, and Mr. Gladstone, in a lengthened speech, supported the amendment. . . Lord J. RUSSELL defended the commission, and indicated the objects it had in view. Sir G. GREY moved the adjot Mouse divided. For adjournment, 160 ment of the debate. The against it, 188. Majo- rity. 22. On the order for committing the Attorneys' Certificate Bill, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the commit tee be deferred for three months ; but upon a division the government were left in a minority, the amendment being nega tived by 105 to 103. The house then went into committee on the bill, and after a very severe struggle and three divisions, in two of which the government were successful, it was reported. HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY The Lord Chancellor took his seat at five o'clock. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the third reading of the Factory_ Bill. . . . The buke of RictimoND moved that it be read that day three :months, which, after a brief discussion, was negatived without a divisiOn On the motion that the bill do pass, the Earl of HARROWBY moved an amendment similar to that moved by Lord Ashley in the House of Commons, in favour of children. The house divided, when there appeared, for the amendment, 14; against it, 30; majority, 16. The bill then passed. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY In answer toa question from Mr. Milner Gibson, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, stated that the Attorney-General was willing to sub mit to any alteration in the office lie had undertaken, which night be made by Parliament, in respect to the fees paid to him on patents. In reply to Mr. Anstey, Lord J. RUSSELL stated that, on Monday next, he would state the course he would take upon the Parliamentary Oaths (Jewish Disabilities) Bill. Mr. M. Giasori, in reply to Mr. J. Williams, said it was not his intention to proceed with the County Rates Bill after the adverse retort by the Select Committee, and be saw no chance of its succeeding unless it was taken up by the Government. After a few words from Sir J. Pakington, Sir G. GREY said be - would, during the recess, consider the evidence upon the bill taken by the committee, but he would not pledge himself to introduce a measure upon the subject. The house then went into committee to consider the Royal Message with respect to the allowance for the maintenance of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and his sister the Princess Mary.—Lord J. RUSSELL said that the late Duke had left no large sum behind him. The present Duke, inderend iently of his professional employments, derived from the pro -nertv of his father an income of only about .e 1,200 a year, a Zum quite incompatible with the maintenance of his dignity as * member of the royal family. He proposed an allowance of _e12,000 a year to him, .e 2,000 less than had been enjoyed by the late Duke of Gloucester, and £3,000 per annum to the Princess Mary. Mr. HUME proposed, as an amendment, an allowance of - - - - - Mr. Disraeli, the Marquis of Granby, Sir R. Inglis, Colonel Ilawdon and Colonel Charteris, supported the motion. Mr. BRIG HT spoke in favour of the amendment. The house divided, when there appeared for the amendment 53; against it 206; majority 153. Mr. H UME, in a second amendment, proposed an allowance f X 10,040, which was opposed by Lord J. Russell, Mr. Vernon Smith, and Mr. Drummond, and supported by Mr. Heyworth ; after which a division took place, with the following result : For the amendment 55; against it 177; majority 122. The original motion was then agreed to. The house then went into committee of supply in a vote of Aelo,ooo for the purchase of Danish forts on the gold coast of Africa. . Mr. COBDEN. considering that the position of the forts would be useless for putting down the slave-trade, moved disallow ance of the sum demanded._ _ _ . A lengthened discussion followed, in which the amendment was opposed by Mr. Foster, Mr. Hawes, Colonel Thompson, 31r. Cardwell, Sir F. Baring, Sir de Lacy Evans, Lord Palmer ston, and Mr. Muntz, and supported by Mr. Jackson, Mr. M. 'Gibson, Mr. Vernon Smith, Mr. Austey, Mr. Bright, Mr. Just, and Mr. Hume. _ . The house divided. For the amendment, 42; against it, 138; majority, 96. The vote was consequently agreed to. After various other votes had been passed, the Chairman reported progress, and the house resumed and again went into committee, when the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved a resolution recognising, the expediency of reducing the duty on home-grown sugar to the same amount as that levied on colonial sugar. The resolution was ac FOREIGN AND COLONIAL The celebrated French Republicans of the Rouge, M. Ledru Rollin and M. Causidiere, are about to take up their abode in Guernsey. The well-grounded hope of an abundant harvest in France has produced a fall in the price of flour, and the -stores in Paris continue to be filled by persons anxious to -dispose of their stocks on hand. A portion of the Table Rock at Niagara Falls, about forty feet long, gave way on the 29th ult. A carriage was -passing at the time with six passengers, who saved their livec; by leaping from the carriage, which was thrown over the precipice. Letters from Madrid of the 12th instant mention that an angry discussion had taken place between the King Consort, and Maria Christina, on the subject of the title "of Frieze proposed to be given to Narvaes. The Queen .'Mother consented to grant the title to Narvaez, provided (the same be given to all her own children. The King is understood to have refused. INDlA. — Telegraphic despatch from Trieste, anticipa ;tion of.the Overland Mail :—" The political news is alto gether without interest. The heat of the season prevented all activity. The Governor-General was still sufibering in ;his health. The military complain of Sir C. Napier, on ;account of his unnecessarily moving the troops during the jlot, season. From Hyderabad we learn that the Sikhs had assumed a threatening position. The President of the Chinese Cabinet died very soon after the Emperor's de cease. The commercial treaty between America and China had not been concluded. There was , no progress 'snaking in the British negotiations with China. Obstacles Thad of 'late been laid in the way of the opium trade. Dis -IsLrbances continued at Bantam, on the island .of Java. SotoApirates. Lad been seen in the waters of Kiel, and a junk ..tiad been plundered. The cholera was raging at K a mlodia, as much as formerly at Siam and Cochin China:" - The commercial accounts are even less favour able than-the former ones, as it respects the position of The marlotfor manufactured goods. It is admitted mall hands !let with few exceptions stocks are greatly in excess, and that ao - ky sales that bad been effected in the interval from the laot mail were at a considerable sacrifice on the cost of prodtiction. As.this estimate is made on the prices at which gooes were manufactured at least six months ago or mere, it iQ self-evident that the advance which has since taken place in the price of the raw material entirely cuts off all chance •of exports lacing made to Asia at the present cost. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM.S,IIIP CAMBRIA. LATER FRO M AMERICA. The Royal Mail Steam-ship Cambria, Captain Stone, artived in the river on Tuesday at half-past five a.m. She left_New York on the 3rd instant, and• Halifax to the sth, but we have received intelligence from the former port to thelstter date by electric telegraph. The Cambria has brought 94 passengers, some of whom were from the Viceroy steamer. She has also brought the Viceroy's mails, that steamer having been ashore. Shell's also on board about £20,000 in specie, and a large amount in bills. The steamer Pacific arrived at New• York Ist instant, in eleven days and sixteen hours. Her.news was taken to that port, by the boat belonging to the American associated press and telegraphed to New York, anticipating her own arrival by sometime. Her greatest run in one day was 311 wiles. During six successive days of the p.aesage she made ,a distance 1,804 miles. The Viceroy went ashore off Cape Sable during .a dense fag. The steam-ship Europa arrived at Halifax at six pan. on the Ist instant ; and the City of Glasgow steamer had reached New York, on the 29th June, after a passage of 14 days 6 hours. No Progress has been made in Congress with the slavery apintion. - Money was abundent,in New York, but internal trade was gloomy, as is always the case in the first week of July. The following paragraph, from the Wew York Courier of the 26th ult., should be read with attention :—" The stock on hand of all kinds of British goods is large— heretofore the goods sold early b . t the season have paid the best profits, and consequently we have the fait jrnpor tations here at this early stage pf the season, and the importers fob 40 early /MOP t 4 mike their Apr pearance—judging from present aapeartinces and from information from England by the last steamer, a large amount of goods ordered to this market`bave been counter manded ; if those goods can be held' back, we may go through the fall season with a small profit, but if other wise, and if the goods should•tontintia to arrive freely later in the season, we cannot see how a profitable season can be expected." Mr. Stewart's cotton circular is as gloomy as ever with respect to the new crop. The price at New York" during the week had advanced 4 cent. on the better descrip tions. The sales amounted to 10,000 bales. The news by the Pacific and Europa had no affect on prices. The weather had become more encouraging. and warm weather and genial showers gave a healthy appearance to the plant, and it is now growing finely, though not in bloom. Pre dictions are hazarded that, under the most favourable circumstances for the remainder of the season, a very moderate crop only can be made, and that the yield will be smaller than any season since 1839. CONFESSION OF PROFESSOR WEIMER...-. Professor Webater has confessed that he killed Dr. Parkman. He states that the deceased went to the Professor's room on the fatal day to receive some money owing to him by the prisoner—that he provoked him without measure by taunting reproaches and threats—thrust his fist in his face and called him liarocoundrel, &c., and that in the heat of passion thus roused, he (prisoner) dealt a sudden blow at the deceased which almost immediately destroyed his life. His confession, which is very long, adds that the thought of proclaiming the deed, and explaining the circumstances, never entered his head, but that he at once determined on concealment, and took measures for that purpose with singular composure and skill. He con fesses to having afterwards cut up the body, and having burnfseveral parts, thrust the trunk into a sink. The confession seems to be pretty generally believed, but it is thought that it would have been of more avail to him if made immediately after the event. He solemnly declares that he never for a moment premeditated the murder, and asserts that his temper has been always uncontrol lable. The wife and three daughters of Professor Webster appeared_before the council, at Boston, on the sth inst., and pleaded in aid of the petition of their husband and father, for a commutation of punishment. Mrs. Webster said that she had been unwavering in the belief of her hus band's innocence until he made his confession. She also stated that it was chiefly through her means and represen tations that the petition for pardon, and protestation of his innocence, was sent in. After their withdrawal the council sent for Dr. Putman, and stated that they having grave doubts on certain points in the confession, had consulted separately threeeminent surgeons, andadocument had been prepared for him to communicate to Professor Webster. Before the document was read the doors were closed, but it was understood that one of the questions propounded was, whether such a stick as that described in the con fession would give such a blow as would cruse death in ten minutes ? All three considered it would not. The other questions are stated to have been answered adverse to the confession. The opinion is generally expressed that no commutation will be granted. _ _ _ _ List of passengers per Royal Mail Steam-ship Cambria. Mr. E.

Kirk, Holmes, Jacoby, Hounstan, Green, Harrison, Ratchford, Han cock, and Dr. Darling. Those passengers whose names are in Italics are from the " Viceroy." The accounts from the Western States are more favour able as to the next grain crop. There was much dullness at New York, and prices on the lower grades had declined about 25 c. per bbl. on Flour. The following is the latest market report :-- _ _ _ . _ "Canadian is in limited request at sd.to 5 d. c. in bond, the stock of that description in the bonded warehouse in this port at the present time, is about 50,000 bbls. INDIAN CORN is also a trifle lower, owing to the increased receipts of Western mixed by the Canal, and a falling off in the export demand. The Exrowrs from this city to Great Britain and Ireland from the 11th to 25th June, were 10,166 bbls. Flour, and 181,643 bushels of Indian Corn. GRAlN.—Wheat continues scarce and held at ld 45c told 50c for Genesee, and ld 25c to Id 30c for Canadian in bond. Rye is lower and brings 61c to 61ic. Barley 64c. Oats are worth 47c to 48c for Northern. _ _ PROVISIONS.—As usual, at this season of the year. our mar ket is very quiet. We have to complain, however, of unusual dullness for every article of provisions for the next month or six weeks. Exports of Lard have almost entirely ceased, owing to the low priCe in the Enzlish market; while of Pork also the exports for the month just ended show a large falling off from June, 1849; of English Bacon there is little or none here, and the home demand for provisions generally has also been exceedingly small and unsatisfactory.

ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA The British and North American royal mail steam-ship Niagara, Captain Ryrie, arrived in the Mersey shortly after eleven o'clock on Saturday evening, with the usual mails from the United States, Canada, &c., upwards of eighty passengers, and a valuable cargo. She left Boston on the 10th, and Halifax on the 12th instant, and has made the entire run, inclusive of the detour to, and de tention at, Halifax, in the remarkably short space of ten days and six hours, being the quickest passage ever made from Boston, except by the Canada and Asia on former nccasions. The United States mail steam-ship Georgia had arrived at New York, from Chagres, with 40,000 pounds in the hands of passengers. The Pacific steam ship Oregon had arrived at Panama, with mails to the Ist of June, and £745,000 sterling in gold dust, on freight and in the hands of passengers. The royal mail steam ship Hibernia, Captain Lang, was passed on the 11th instant, a day's run from Boston. The royal mail steam ship America, Captain Shannon, was spoken on the 14th , instant, five hours' run from Cape Race : she would reach Halifax on the 16th instant. The steam-ship Viceroy, Captain Ewing, had been got off the rocks where she struck, near Cape Sable. The West India mail steam ship Trent had arrived at Mobile Point, en route to the Gulf. Her Majesty's ship Inconstant was at Mazatlan, and would sail for England. During:her run the Niagara made a very high speed, namely 312 and 310 miles in two consecutive days. Our accounts from New York by the Niagara extend, by letter, to the 9th instant, and by electrietelegraph, via Halifax, to the 11th instant, and announce the important fact that President Tayhir's political career had been, suddenly, and for ever closed by the stroke of death. The President had been attacked, shortly after the departure of our last accounts by the Pacific, with a fit of cholera, and, although prompt medical assistance was obtained, the gallant old soldier gradually sank, and at length died. Our telegraphic report will show the effect of this sudden calamity upon Congress, the people, and the affairs of State, and, generally, the demise of so gallant a soldier and stedfast an upholder of constitutional doctrines, was deeply regretted. Vice-President Phillimore succeeds to the vacant presidency, as did President Tyler on the death of General Harrison. A new cabinet must now also be formed ; and one Point of interest will be the result of the new state of affairs on the slavery question, From . Washington our accounts are in other respects almost wholly uninteresting. Much anxiety existed, however, in relation to the disputed question of territory between New Mexico and Texas. Troops were being marched to the spot by Texas, and New Mexico had organised a constitution. The document had arrived at the capital, and the States' senators were shortly 'expected. President Taylor's death may also exercise an important negative influence upon the course of events in this quarter. the British Government had made a communication to the United States' Government in reference to the wreck of the steamer Missouri, which was sunk while burning in the harbour of Gibraltar. The wreck endan yered -navigation. The subject was before the committee on naval affairs in the senate. The expense of removing this wreck is estimated at from :880,000 to £90,000. On the 4th instant, the ratifications of the Nicaraguan treaty were published officially with the treaty. A letter had been received from an officer of the Arctic expedition, in search of Sir John .Franklin, dated off Newfoundiand, June 7, stating that they had been retarded by head winds and heavy weather. The officers and men were all in good Health. We have accounts from Havana to the 4th inst. Great excitement prevailed against the Americans generally, and particularly against the American consul, Mr. Campbell, on account of some letters he had written to the United States' State Department, reflecting, in the opinion of the Spaniards, on their navy and militia. The consul was ,obliged to keep his house fortified, and ready at any moment to repel an aCtack. He had been threatened with assassination in anonymous letters, and did not con side: his life, an d t h at of .his family, safe, The consul takes the ground th at t h e OP ture of the two vessels was an illegal act, in which he was supported by all the Ame ricans in Havannah. The Spa niards were assembling a large naval force at Havanna. Dr. Webster still continued iminisoned as a convict under sentence of death. His wife az .`d daughters had in terceded for him personally. MultituOnous petitions for a commutation had been presented to the' authorities, and hopes of at least preserving his life were era"ertained. From California we have by this arrival ac, -cants to the Ist of June, being fifteen days later than our oft advises, brought to New York by the steam-ship Phii:vielPhia, with £500,000 sterling value of gold-dust, and the Ceurgis, both from Cbagres, whence they sailed on the 30tu . The Alabama ewer had aloe left Chives with 125 101- sengers and £lOO,OOO in gold dust for New Orleans. Our San Francisco advices are not unimportant. Several collisions of a serious character bad occurred between the United States troops and the Indian aborigines of the Sacramento Valley. The losses were chiefly on the side of the Indians, who soon after sent a deputation of chiefs to procures treaty of peace, a result which had been at tained in a perfectly satisfactory manner. At Clear Lake a large body of Indians had been killed by a detachment of the Urated States troops from' the garrisons of Sonora and Benicia. Much difficulty had arisen from the collec tion of the mining -tax on foreigners of £4 per month. The tax was protested against as exorbitant and unjust, and 'the citizens generally sympathized with the discontent of the foreigners. some violent demonstrations had taken place at Sonora. Other accounts state, that the ship Albion, of London, chartered by Her Majesty's Govern ment for procuring timber for the navy, had been seized at Oregon by General Dorr, on the part of the United States Government, for smuggling and cutting timber in the possession of the United States. The stock market was buoyant. Cotton had slightly given way in New York, while in New Orleans the decline was more decided, middling being quoted at 11 to Hi on the 3d July. The weather had taken a favourable turn, but lamentations on the back ward state of the growing crop are not thereby removed. The effect of the death of General Taylor upon the ad ministration is even beyond conjecture. The telegraphic accounts to the 11th July, from New York, advise the re ceipt of intelligence by the Hibernia on that day, but at too late an hour to influence the market. The price of breadstuffs was too high to admit of shipments to this country being made to a profit. Exchange 10+ to la, with little doing, remitters holding off, in hopes, we sup pose, that some miracle will work in their favour. The following are the movements of cotton, as made up in New York on the 2d July, being the forty-second week of each season:— 1850. 184 9. 1848.

In the interval since the death of , President Taylor the proceedings of Congress have been of a most impressive character, having exclusive reference to the afflicting event which has plunged the nation into mourn ing. Appropriate remarks have hoop wade in both houses. The funeral is appointed for Saturday at noon. Mr. Phil limore, by choice of the American people Vice-President, and by the death of the late chief magistrate now Presi dent, was yesterday sworn into office. The cabinet, as is usual, have tendered their resignations. Various names are mentioned as likely to be called to office, but of course all is idle speculation. It generally is conceded that few, if any, of the late President's cabinet will hold office under the altered state of affairs. Mr. Webster is confidently named for a state secretaryship. The Hibernia's news was not received till just the close of the market, and consequently did not influence it. Cotton market dull, to-day's sales 700 bales. To-day's prices, Liverpool classification, are ordinary to middling uplands 12 to 12i ; Gulf, 12+ to 13 ; fair to good fair, 13t to 144-; Gulf, 144 to 15; Western Canal flour steady to day, £sk to as ; Canadian in bond, 5 to 54 ; wheat, SI 45 to 81 50; Indian corn, yellow, 63c. to 64. The president's death has not affected the stock-market, which is firm, with an upward tendency. State of Government Sixes, of '6B, at 1154. There is a talk, says a correspondent of Chambers' Journal, of a stationary balloon over Paris, to sustain an electric sun for illuminating the city at night ! The intelligence from Austria announces the disgrace of Haynou, of Hungarian butchering notoriety, who has, it seems, at length incurred the displeasure of the emperor, and been dismissed from all military command. Twenty-seven houses have been destroyed by fire at Burnahaupten le Bas, in the department of the Haut Rhin, and the damage is estimated at 15 2 ,075 f. The fire broke out simultaneously in two places, and no doubt is expressed that it was the work of incendiaries. A new religious sect has arisen in Persia, in consequence of the preachings of a man named Bab, who has written a new book to take the place of the Koran. He is said to have already made several thousand proselytes ; and eighteen of these Babees, as his followers are called, have been publicly beheaded by order of the Shah. At a temperance " Jubilee," held a few weeks ago at Boston, several of the southern delegates refused to sit on the platform with coloured men ; and one of them (an Irishman by birth) begged the reportors to make no mention of the fact that there was a section of coloured boys in the procession, " as it might hurt the cause at the South !" The American papers mention that a frightful tragedy occurred at Wilmot, Annapolis county, Nova Scotia, on Sunday, the 9th ultimo. Mrs. Miller, after her husband had gone to church, walked out with her four youngest children, tied them to her dress, and plunged with them from a cliff, and all were drowned. Her mind had been slightly deranged, but on that day she appeared unusually well. THE EQUESTRIAN AERONAUT.—M. Poitevin made 8 second balloon ascension on horseback from the Champs de Mars, Paris, on Tuesday. The same horse was used as on the previous occasion. He displayed no alarm as the strings, &c., were a ffi xed, and when raised from the ground, appeard quite accustomed to this singular way of travelling. To prove to the public that he was no way fixed to the saddle, M. Poitevin, when about a hundred yards high, stood on the horse's back, and saluted the public. The balloon went in the direction of St. Germain with extreme slowness. A DEVOTED NATURALIST.—ProbabIy one of the most curious examples of the apparently trifling pursuits of scientific men has been exhibited by one of the most esteemed members of the Academy of Science of Paris, M. Dureau de la Malle. He was anxious to ascertain at what hour different birds began their morning song ; he, therefore, from the first of May to the 6th of July, made observations, which he regularly published. It appears that for thirty years this vigilant naturalist went to bed at seven o'cloek in the evening and rose at midnight, during winter and summer, and that this eccentric habit was for scientific purposes. It seems that the concert is opened about one o'clock by the chaffinch, and that the sparrow is the laziest bird, not leaving his rest until five o'clock. In the intermediate hours, at marked intervals, which M. de Malle has carefully noted down, other birds commence their natual melody. He has shown, on more than one occasion, that the different birds have mistaken artificial light for the dawning of day, and that a solar lamp has awakened the little choristers. A BULL FIGHT AT MADRID.—The last bull-fight here was extremely fertile in incidents. Besides the ordinary number of horses killed, and pickadores bruised, a muni cipal guard was gored to death, and a celebrated bull fighter, named the Habanero, had his skull cleft. The municipal guard was on duty outside the barrier, when a bull, one of the famous breed belonging to the Duke of Veragua (the lineal descendant of Christopher Columbus) rushed against the barrier, broke it down, and tossed the unfortunate soldier into the air twice, each time goring him in a manner that would have let out 20 lives, if he had had them. The Habanero is one of the pickadores. The horse that he mounted was raised from the earth with him upon it, by the same bull, and thrown against the barrier with fearful violence. These two mishaps caused a momentary thrill thoughout the dense mass of spectators ; but another pickadore came galloping into the arena, and another municipal guard took charge of the post that his gored comrade had occupied, and the games went 3n, and the mad approbative yelling of the crowd at a good lance-thrust of the pickadores, or a sword-stroke given according to the best rules of tauromachy by the matador, went on, as if every one was perfectly oblivious that a few moments before two of their fellow-creatures had been sacrificed.—Madrid Correspondent of the Daily News. TEST OF AFFECTION.-Mr. Archibald Stanhope, a groggy sentimentalist, residing in Buckley-street, Phila delphia, conceived the harrowing suspicion that his wife was not as passionately fond of him as a lady of good taste should be ; and, to put the matter to a fair trial, he hit on a little stratagem, which he put in practice the other day, with the results hereafter to be detailed. He took a suit of clothes, and composed an effigy of himself, by stuffing the garments with a quantity of straw, which had lately been discharged from an old bed. Having sus pended this figure to a rafter in a garret by means of a piece of clothes-line, he ensconced himself behind a pile of rubbish in the same garret, to watch the effect. After a while his little daughter came up after a iumping-rope. and caught a glimpse of the suspending figure. She ran down the stairs, screaming —" Oh ! mother, mother, daddy has hung himself !' " Now for it," thought Archibald, in ambuscade—" we shall have a touching scene presently." " Hung himself ?" he heard Mrs. Stanhope repeat, as she walked leisurely upstairs; " he hasn't got pluck enough for such a thing, or he would have done it long ago. Well, I believe he has done it, however," she continued, as she came in view of Archi bald's straw representative. " Moll," to the little girl, " I think he ought to be cut down. You had better go into the kitchen and get a knife, my dear; but don't go down too fast, or you might fall and hurt yourself. Stay—l forgot—there's no knife in the kitchen sharp enough. You can go round to Mr. Homes, the shoe maker, Sixth-street, he's only two squares off, and ask him to lend us his paring -knife ; tell him to whet it a little before he sends it. And, Molly, while you are in the neighbourhood, you can call at your aunt &key's, and ask how the baby is. And, Molly, you can stop at the grocery -store as •you come back, and get a pound of seven-cent sugar. Poor Archy !" sighed Mrs. Stanhope, when her daughter had departed, " I hope we'll get him down before the vital spark's extinct—for these buryings are very troublesome, and cost money, He wanted to put on end to himself, too; and I think I ought to let him have his own way for once in his life; he used to say that I was always acrossing him. I wish he hadn't spoiled the new clothes-line—an old rope might have answered his purpose." Here a voice, which sounded like that of the supposed suicide, broke in on Mrs. Stanhope's soliloquy with " You confounded Jezebel, I'll be the death of you !" Mrs. Stanhope, thinking this must, of course, be a ghostly exclamation, uttered a wild scream, and attempted to escape down the narrow staircase. Archibald, starting from his place of concealment, gave chase. Mrs. Stanhope stumbled midway on the flight of stairs, and Mr. Stanhope having just reached her and made a grasp at her dishevelled hair as it streamed back wards, the amiable partners were precipitated to the bottom together. Both were the neighbourhood.ereratherbadly bruised, d the cries of the la: raisedlY ./ et! I bald was arrested for znaking a disturbance and practising on the tender sensibilitieo of his wife. He was recognised in 200 dollars, and jocularly proposed his suspended effigy as his surety ; but he found, to his sorrow, that " straw bail" was not acceptable under he administration of Mayor Jouee.—Penweranian, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. ROME. The Pope has caused a direct contradiction to be pub lished in the Roman Journal of the statement of Lord Palmerston with regard to his having sent for Lord Minto. Letters from Rome of the I2th inst. inform us of the general feeling of regret felt throughout Rome on account of the sudden death of Sir Robert Peel. FRANCE A sergeant of artillery of one of the forts of Lyons was shot dead by a corporal, while in the act of instruct ing the men in the exercise of the guns. The ball passed through his heart, and wounded a grenadier who was standing at some distance. The corporal had been punished a short time before for some breach of disci pline. Nineteen houses had been destroyed by fire on the 18th instant, in the commune of Tremblay Le Vicerente, Eure et Loire ; and six houses, with the whole of the crops and 11 cows, the same day, in the village of Chantaloup were also destroyed, There is little doubt of this ,destruction being the work of incendiaries. The Vice-Consul of France at Rabot, writes under date the Ist of June, to say that the drought which prevailed in the south of Morocco has completely destroyed the crops, and that a famine was apprehended. On the evening of the 17th a corps of 2,000 Danes entered Flensburg, and on the morning of the 18th a slight skirmish took place between the outposts near Bilschau. The Danes have also crossed over in force from Alsen, and taken possession of the heights of Duppell, in the Sundewitt. A serious collision between the armies was expected every day. The Danish fleet kept up a vi gorous blockade of the Schleswig-Holstein harbours. From Panama we have advices to the 29th ult. The steam-ship Sarah Sands, Captain Thompson, was about ninety miles below Monterey, on her passage up, taking in coal. A number of her passengers had left her and gone to San Francisco by land ; those who remained on board of her were all in good health. The steamers New World and Isthmus sailed from Panama on the 22nd of June, both full of passengers. WEST INDIES.—On Thursday, the Thames steamer arrived at Southampton from the West Indies. The dates of her news are—Vera Cruz, 15th June ; Havannah, 27th ; Jamaica, 22d • Demerara, 18th ; Trinidad, 20th ; Barba. does, 27th; St. Thomas, July Ist; Bermuda, 6th. She has 47 passengers, also 282,700 dollars on merchants' account. Guadaloupe and Martinique are still under martial law, in consequence of incendiaries.

The legislature assembled in extraordinary session to remedy a defect in a loan bill passed;last ses sion, to raise £240,000 to efface the debt of the island. The late bill limited the amount of interest to be paid, at which it could not be procured ; the assembling of the legislature, therefore, was to afford an opportunity, of which it readily availed itself, of authorising the commis missioners in England to increase the amount of interest on the required sum. On the Ist instant the assembly would be prorogued to the Ist of October. Fine rains had fallen, and the weather was favourable. The mail steamer Avon arrived out on the 30th, with the English mails two days before due. IRELAND. On the motion of Mr. O'Connell, the " Repeal Asso ciation" in solemn silence has agreed to adjourn, not to meet again until required by the country. The prosecution of the persons who were to have been tried at the present Down assizes for the Dolly Brae riots, has been abandoned by the Crown. An Irish paper states, that on Monday last, a pauper named Doogan fell into a pot of boiling stirabout, at the workhouse of rallawillen, in Ennis. He remained in it some minutes before the accident was discovered ; and he died about eight hours subsequently, after suffering intense torture. The Wilhelmina, of Liverpool, Captain Robbins, lying in the North Channel, after arriving from Alexandria, with a cargo of Indian corn, has brought the head, hands, and feet of a female Egyptian mummy, in fine preserva tion. The captain has also the hand of another mummy, the nails on the fingers being tinged with red, as brilliant as if coloured only a few days since.—Cork Constitution. THE " DUKE " AND Da. CANE.—Dr. Cane having written a letter to the Duke of Wellington, in reference to his grace's reflections upon the loyalty of Repeal mayors, while recently in the House of Lords stating his objections to the proposed abolition of the viceroyalty of Ireland, has received the following characteristic answer : Apsley House, July 13th, 1850, F. M. the Duke of Wellington presents his cOmpliinents to Dr. Cane, and is concerned to find by his letter on theist inst., that the office of mayor of Kilkenny is of so paltry and incon siderable a nature, that its functions entirely consist in signing some unimportant papers, which Dr. Cane describes as " pawn office declarations," but the purport of which the duke can only guess at—and committing paupers, a class of society which the duke believes, with regret, to he the most numerous at pre sent in that enigmatical country, Ireland. The duke has, however, read the Kilkenny newspapers of a shortly subsequent date, where Dr. Cane is reported to have publicly asserted at a meeting of the corporation of that city, that the office of the mayoralty was one of such consequence that it required a salary of .4100 to support its dignity. . . . The duke is at a loss io reconcile this statement that in which the office of mayor is alleged to be devoid of all dignity nor can he see the " importance of civic functionaries described by Dr. Cane as " mere automata acting under the direction of her Majesty's constables." F. M. the Duke of Wellington therefore regrets that he is compelled to decline all further correspondence orcommuni cation with a gentleman, who, however patriotic, could stoop to such political inconsistencies as those above alluded to. CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. The Rev. Ernest Hawkins has been nominated by Earl Howe to succeed the Rev. Dr. Fultord, as minister of Curzon Chapel, in the parish of St. George, Hanover- square. The Rev. U. W. Beckwith, 8.A., of University College, Oxford, has been presented, by the Archbishop of York, to the incumbency of the parish of Thornely-in-Cleveland, Yorkshire. The first stone of the new church at Gwersyllt, in the parish of Gresford, was laid, on Saturday week, by Mrs. Williams, of Gwersyllt-park, in the presence of the Bishop of St. Asaph and a very numerous assemblage of all classes. The Archbishop of Canterbury has conferred the degree of Master of Arts upon the Rev. Charles Marshall, chaplain to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of London, and the newly-appointed rector of St. James, Duke's place, London. The Rev. W. Knight, of St. James's, Hull, has pub lished a letter in the local papers complaining of the recent charge delivered by Archdeacon Wilberforce ; and that it may be desirable before another visitation, for the clergy agreeing with him to learn how far it is obligatory upon them to subject themselves " to the pain of having the archidiaconal brand applied afresh." The Rev. St. Vincent Beechy, formerly of Fleetwood, has been nominated by the Earl of Ellesmere to the per petual curacy of Worsley, vacant by the resignation of Rev. Charles Cameron, late the incumbent. The Rev. Richard John Shields has been nominated to the perpe tual curacy of Hornby, near Lancaster, by Pudsey Daw son, Esq., of Hornby Castle. The Rev. James Geoffrey Hornby, rector of Bury, has been nominated by Dr. Haggard, the chancellor of the diocese of Manchester, to be one of his surrogates. A correspondence is published in the Berkshire Chro nicle between the Bishop of Oxford, and certain laymen of Reading, 420 of whom forwarded an address to his lordship, as a counter protest to, the address presented to the Bishop from the clergy of the archdeaconry of Berks. These laymen declare their " entire approval" of the judg ment of the Privy Council, that the present agitation, " so actively promoted by the leaders of the Tractarian party," tends to nothing less than the unprotestantising of the church and country," and "to plurge us again intoPopish darkness and superstition." The Bishop replies, deeply lamenting the tone of the protest. MEETING ON THE GORHAM CASE.—This meeting is now definitely fixed to take place this day, at St. Martin's Hall, Long-acre, at twelve o'clock, when the resolutions submitted to the meeting will consist of the adoption-- Ist, Of a protest against the judgment in the Gorham case. 2d, Of a petition to Queen. 3d, Of an ad dress to the Archbishops and Bishops. 4th, Of an ad dress to the Scotch Bishops. sth, An appeal to the Clergy and Laity of England. The protest, first reciting the opinions of Mr. Gorham, as expressed in his book, and than the doctrine of the Church as contained in the Nicene Creed, Baptismal Service, the Order of Confir mation, the Catechism, and the 25th and 27th Articles, sums up :—" Now, we, the undersigned, members, of the Church of England, accepting without reserve these distinct declarations of her doctrine (denying also that her deliberate and unambigious expressions in the actual ministration of the Sacrament of Baptism are to be taken in a qualified or uncertain sense), and holding THAT ORIGINAL SIN IS REMITTED TO ALL INFANTS BY SPIRI TUAL REGENERATION THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF THE MERITS OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST IN AND BY THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM, which doc trine we, together with the whole church, individually affirm whenever in the recital of the Nicene Creed we ' ACKNOWLEDGE ONE BAPTISM FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS,' do hereby solemnly repudiate and protest against the said judgment of the judicial Committee of her Majesty's Privy Council ; and do appeal therefrom unto a free and lawful Synod of the Church of England, when such Synod may be had." TREATMENT OF THE WELSH CHURCH.—During the debate on the ecclesiastical commission bill, on Tuesday, Sir B. Hall said he would move that the incomes of the English deans be reduced from £lOOO to £7OO a-year, the sum received by the Welsh deans. To show the effect of appointing deans for Wales who were imper fectly acquainted with the Welsh language. he might mention that in a case which had come under his notice the clean's sermons were written by a person who had been a member of the Independent body of dissenters, but who had been expelled by them. This man was on one occasion brought before the magistrates, among whom was the dean, for neglecting to maintain his family, when he said--" If you would pay me more than half-a crown for seventeen sermons I should be able to main tain my wife and family, but I can't do so now." (Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Mr. J. Williams could bear out the statements of the hon. baronet as to the incon venience experienced from the imperfect acquaintance of the clergy appointed to preferments in Wales with the Welsh language. On one .occasion a clergyman transla ting into Welsh the passage " The righteous shall in- i 'writ eternal life," used a Welsh phrase which signified " The goslings shall devour the food of the geese." (Laughter.) It was not to be wondered at that the whole kvirregatien laughed at him. He found on every hand En,,q l s l,o3 an appointed as bishops, deans, and to other inferi . Of ,9tfigef ii 3 the church in Welt)s? Pr) grAs?"4 munificent incomes as teachers of the people while they were totally ignorant of their language. There were two brothers, sons of a late Bishop of St. Asapb, who did not understand a word of the Welsh language, but whose incomes exceeded those of eighty-seven curates—(hear, hear)—and the house would scarcely believe, perhaps, that there were two curates in St. Asaph who did duty every day in the year, and whose annual income was only £3O each. The tractarians are issuing an address to the Archbishop of Canterbury, " solemnly imploring h.s grace not to suffer any step to be taken for the institution of Mr. Gorham." The Bishop of Manchester, in the debate on the Factory Bill in the House of Lords, on Monday, stated that he had consecrated as many as twenty-four churches in the short time that he had exercised episcopal functicns, and confirmed twenty-two thousand young persons. THE CHURCH QUESTION IN YORKSHIRE.—The Eccle siastical Court of the Archdiocese of York is about to be moved to ascertain the soundness of the doctrines held by the Venerable Archdeacon Wilberforce. In the course of his archdeacons' visitation just concluded, the archdeacon broached opinions. while delivering his charge, which the majority of the clergy of the diocese believe to be unscrip tural and opposed to the teaching of the Church. The archdeacon has expressed his willingness to resign his " office of teaching" in the event of its being established that his views are heretical. THE BISHOP OF EXETER'S PROTEST.—It will be seen from our report of the proceedings in the Arches Court, on Saturday last, that the Bishop of Exeter, in making his return in the Gorham case, accompanied it with a protest, which the judge refused to receive. That document is published in the London papers of yesterday. After reciting the doctrine held by Mr. Gorham, and the proceedings taken before the Privy Council, the protest is concluded as follows :—" Now we, the said Henry, Bishop of Exeter, taking the premises into our serious and anxious consideration, and furthermore, considering that the judgment of Her Most Gracious Majesty in Council on the said appeal was pronounced solely in reliance on the statement made in the report and recommendation of the said Judicial Committee, as being a just, true, and suffi cient statement, do, by virtue of the authority given to us by God, as a bishop in the church of Christ, and in the apostolic branch of it planted by God's'providence within this land, and established therein by the laws and consti tution of this realm, hereby solemnly repudiate the said judgment, and declare it to be null and utterly without effect in foro coascientice, and do appeal therefrom in all Lanicerns Luc cuLL..114.. haiLL au cLc oa,actl Oyuud ut this nation when it shall be in the name of Christ as sembled as the true church of England by representation.' And further, we do solemnly protest and declare that whereas the said George Cornelius Gorham did manifestly and notoriously hold the aforesaid heretical doctrines, and bath not since .retracted and disclaimed the same, any archbishop of bishop, or any official of any archbishop or l.ishop, who shall institute the said George Cornelius Gor ham to the cure and government of the souls of the pa rishioners of the said parish of Bampford Speke, within our diocese aforesaid, will thereby incur the sin of sup porting and favouring the said heretical doctrinei, and we do hereby renounce and repudiate all communion with any one, be he whom he may, who shall so institute the said George Cornelius Gorham as aforesaid. Given under our hand and episcopal seal this 20th day of July, in the year of our Lord, 1850.—" H. EXETER." POPERY IN THE CHURCH.—A paper with this heading has just been published. It is as follows, and so clearly speaks for itself as to require no addition from us : "The Rev. William Dodsworth, incumbent of Christ Church, Regent's Park, has published a letter addressed by him to Dr. Pusey, Canon of Christ Church, Oxford, the main design of which is to censure (mildly, however) a certain ' ambiguousness,' on the part of the latter, in his method of upholding and promoting the doctrine of spiritual regeneration in baptism. In this letter the writer addresses his correspondent as his dear friend ;' speaks of the long friendship which has subsisted between them,' and states that hitherto they have been fighting side by side for the same holy truths.' At pages 16 and and 17, Mr. Dodsworth pronounces the following eulogy on his friend,' with whose principles and conduct he must be presumed to be intimately acquainted :—` You have been one of the foremost to lead us on to a higher appreciation of that Church System," of which sacra mental grace is the very life and soul. Both by precept and - example you have been amongst the most earnest to maintain Catholic principles. By your constant and common practice of administering the sacrament of pe nance; by encouraging everywhere, if not enjoining, au ricular confession, and giving special priestly absolution ; by teaching the propitiatory sacrifice of the Holy Eucha rist, as applicatory of the one sacrifice on the cross, and by adoration of Christ really present on the altar under the form of bread and wine; by your introduction of Roman Catholic books ` adapted to the use of our Church ;' by encouraging the use of rosaries and cru cifixes, and special devotions to our Lord :' as e. g. to His five wounds ; by adopting language most powerfully expressive of our incorporation into Christ, as e. g. " our being inebriated by the blood of our Lord ;' by advocating counsels of perfection, and seeking to restore, with more or less fulness, the conventual or monastic life ;—I say, by the teaching and practice, of which this enumeration is a sufficient type and indication, you have done much to revive amongst us the system which may be pre-eminently called ` Sacramental.' In relation to the foregoing ex tract, public attention is invited to the following facts : First. That both Dr. Pusey and Mr. Dodsworth are, to this day, beneficed clergymen, and the former a digni tary, of the Church of England,—Dr. Pusey in the diocese of Oxford, and Mr. Dodsworth in that of London." POLITICAL MISCELLANY. Mr. Gladstone has withdrawn his motion for additional bishoprics, on Lord John Russell's promising to take it into consideration. Mr. Robertson Gladstone has been solicited to become a candidate for the representation of Chester, but declined the honour on account of the advanced age of his father, and the multiplicity of his own engagements. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of Down, Durham, and Manchester, the Earl of Harrowby, and the Marquis of Westminster voted, on Monday, against the Duke of Richmond's amendment for a bona fide ten hours' act. ELECTIONS —The following elections took place last week without opposition :—Sir Robert Peel for Tam worth ; Mr. Cockburn, the new Solicitor-General, foi Southampton ; and Sir Samuel Romilly, the Attorney- General, for Devonport. Messrs. J. Heywood, A. Henry, W. T. Egerton, Sir J. Walmsley, and Sir Philip Egerton voted, on Tuesday, for Lord Robert Grosvenor's motion for the abolition of the duty on attorney's certificates. Sir T. Birch, W. Brown, L. Heyworth, and T. Thornley voted with government against the motion. Nearly all the protec tionists voted for the motion. _ _ The free-trade Liverpool journals are in the dumps, be cause the people there wont run a rivalry with other places in deifying the deceased Tamworth baronet. Sit divus, dum non sit vivus. The man who scorned to be a lord, is now sought to be made a god. The " mediocre age" is going far to prove its own proper claim to an im mortal mediocrity.—Shrewsbury Journal. THE CURRENCY.—California is having its effect in England ; and the House of Commons will now be called on to pronounce what the effect amounts to. Colonel Thompson hai given the following notice for Tuesday next :—That, looking to the probability of changes in the value of gold, lik,3 what took place in consequence of the discovery of America, it is expedient that the Chancellor of the Exchequer should be authorized to create a secured stock, with interest secured on the principle of a corn rent ; such secured stock to be given by volun tary exchange at what shall from time to time be the market rates, for other stock to be thereupon extin guished, the premium resulting , from such exchange to be carried to the public account. ' MR. FRANK FORSTER AND " THE Tlan po lite and agreeable engineer who superintended the pro gress of the Chester and Holyhead Railway and the con struction of the Tubular Bridge, has provoked the enmity of the London Times. Some time ago, he was appointed surveyor to the commissioners of sewers, in the metropo lis, and was denominated " Frank Foster," but in parlia mentary papers recently published, he is called, in one place, Frank Forster, and in another, Francis Forster. On this, the Times insinuates that Frank Foster being an eminent engineer, Francis Forster assumed his name and got the place, by the aid of Mr. Robert Stephenson and Sir H. De la Beebe. These gentlemen, however, declared that they never knew a Frank Foster, but have known Frank Forster for twenty years. The Times is not satis fied, and arks why the r was omitted in the first instance. In all probability it was originally a clerical error; but Mr. Forster ought to explain it at once. Mu. Bum—This gentleman has issued an address to the electors of Mayo, in which occurs the following pas sage :—" Upon the great question of protection to home industry, my opinions are not, perhaps, unknown to you. I am an advocate for fair and efficient protection to every branch of Irish industry. In this I believe all classes of Irishmen are interested. I see that free trade has equally injured the owner and the cultivator of the soil. I believe that it has long since destroyed our manufactures—that it is now crushing the small farmers and the shopkeeper in your country towns—that it is throwing out of employ ment the artizan and the labourer—that it is reducing every class to beggary and ruin. These convictions will compel me to endeavour, by all practical means, to effect a return to that system of protection to every branch of Irish industry, under which Ireland once enjoyed prospe rity, and under which her people were employed. I ask of every elector of Mayo to judge of this question—one which vitally affects the interests of us all—to without reference to those dissensions which have been too long the bane of this unhappy land."
