The Univers is very indignant on the sub ject, and maintains that the word jesuitical ought to be banished from parliamentary language. THE RIVER PLATE.—The following remarks on the state of affairs in the River Plate are extracted from the Jornal di Comercio of the 24th of June :—" The French Magellan arrived yesterday from Montevideo, having on board Boron Gros. As we have already in formed our readers, the negotiations for peace entered into have been interrupted in consequence of General Grike having withdrawn the propositions which he had presented through the medium of the inte,- .vening negoti ators ; a withdrawal which had been imposed upon him by General Rosas. Baron Gros, upon retiring, had resolved, in accordance with Admiral le Predour, to suspend until further decision the blockade of the port and coast of Buenos Ayres, and to make effective the blockade of all the points of the Oriental coast occupied by forces under General Oribe. Besides this measure, the French Mi nister had decided upon allowing the government of Monte Video a monthly subsidy. The Oriental govern ment had revoked the decree of the 20th of May, which established an impost upon all articles of consumption, substituting in its place another, by which all mercantile houses had to pay monthly a quarter part of the annual impost appertaining to each. In Monte Video, some in dividuals recently arrived from the besieging camp, and suspected of being accessory to the murder of Ur. Varella, had been arrested. Mr. Gore, the colleague of M. Gros in his recent mission, remained at Monte Video in the character of. Charge d'Affaires of her Britannic Majesty. From Buenos Ayres nothing important." The Danes attempted a secret landing on the 15th, between Apenrade and Hadersleben, but were repulsed by the Prussian general. INDIA AND CHINA. We have received by express from Marseilles our ad vices from India in anticipation of the arrival of the over land mail of the Ist of July from Calcutta. Our advices from Bombay were by dank to Madras. The dates thus received are from Calcutta and Bombay to thelst of July, and Madras to the 9th of July. -.- Our military position i n the Punjaub seems well se cured. There is no news from the north-west of India of any prominent importance. The intelligence from Moulton, as regards the opera tions of the district officers in the field, continues to be of the most satisfactory character. The force under Lieut. Edwardes amounts by these advices to nearly 6,000 men, Mahomedans. The body is secure along the line of the Indus, and has managed to gain possession or all the means of passage in that part of the stream. It is said that the Bunnoo Sikhs continue to join the standard of the Dewan, but that the Patens and Beloochees stand aloof; while, on the other hand, Colonel Cortlandt's dis trict force had been much strengthened by Belooch en listments, and Lieutenant Edwardes counted a strong body of Patans. The forces of the rajah of Bhawalpoor had already crossed the Gharree river into the insurgent territory, but, not taking proper precautions, in their eagerness for plunder, one of their parties had met a stronger body of the enemy and was cut off. This dis aster spread alarm at first, from conflicting rumours which got into circulation, but happily did not entail any mis chief, and subsequent accounts announce the capture of four small towns on the western bank of the river. There seemed every probability an advance would be made, should further circumstances secure the probabilities of success for a movement by the British district officers on the centre of insurrection. The captive governor of Dee ra, Ghazee Khan, and another man of note on the side of the insurgents, had been executed. The Dewan, on hear ing this news, is said to have sent 100 rupees to each of their widows; and, apparently taking a hint of the fate that might await himself, ordered a funeral pile to be prepared for his family, to be used in the event of his fall ; evidently not more inclined, by these circumstances, to sell his life cheap._ No less than 630 followers of the insurgent Gooroo. Maharaj Singh, who took arms in the Punjaub, had sur rendered, and, by late accounts, were prisoners at Shung. The property and arms of the fanatic Gooroo had been secured, and he himself is reported to have been drowned. Sir Lawrence Peel, Chief Justice in Bengal, has sus pended Mr. Grant from his office of Master in Equity in the Supreme Court at Calcutta, in consequence of that functionary having been implicated in the transactions of the Union Bank as one of its directors. Some disturbances which had broken out among the Bheels in the Mye Counta district of Guzerat—a still un settled portion of Western India—had been promptly suppressed by the energy of the Political Agent, Captain Wallace, who gave orders for the instant march to the scene of riot of a sufficient body of troops. Our correspondent at Hongkong writes as follows, under date of June 14 : " We have had a month of inactivity, and nothing to disturb the general quiet at Canton and the other ports. The Braganza arrived on the 16th inst.; the next mail is around the Church of England, and heard the people praising God, not in an unknown tongue, but in a lan guage simple, and understood of all men ! Why had not Bishop Wiseman pointed to Ireland.? Why had he not looked at the picture drawn of that wretched country re cently by Lord Shrewsbury ? But what made it' wretched? Popery. Look at the north of Ireland. Was it a scandal to the world ? Nay, verily. Its beauti ful fire-sides, its peaceful hills and valleys, its open-hearted generous yeomanry, and its fine, bold Orange peasantry, had not a rival in the whole world. (Great cheering.) Let Bishop Wiseman come nearer home, and look at England. Why, we should have had no disturbances in England. if it were not that we had Irish Papists amongst us. (Hear, hear.) The criminal returns showed that at least one-third of the crimes perpetrated in this country were committed by Irish Papists. (Hear, hear.) The Leeches and others who had been lately arrested for Chartism were all of Irish extraction, and the priests of Ireland nurtured sedition in that country, though now, like the monkey in the fable, they were putting the cat's paw into the fire and taking care of their own paw. (Loud laughter and cheers.) But the sedition in Ireland was theharbinger of better times. The people would awake to the treachery of the priesthood. The people would assert the prerogative of immortal beings. This was the harvest time of the Irish Society if only it bestirred itself. It was a disgrace to England to have so long permitted the holding of masque rades and dumb•shows in. the middle of the noon-day. Those who practised these masquerades should be made ashamed of their tom-foolery. (Cheers and laughter.) Such things might be practised in the twilight of Spain and Italy, but never could they be carried on in England, the cradle and birthplace of the Reformation, the land which had successfully resisted the encroach ments of Romanism, and the country that was the very palladium of Protestantism. (Loud cheers.) Let, then, the people rise up ! Let every Protestant try what he could do by the progress of Scriptural knowledge, and the influence of the truth,to give Romanists no rest until they changed the red robe to the surplice— the sacrifice of the mass to the consecrated bread and wine—angels, and saints, and purgatory and penances, to Christ Jesus and Him crucified—the basin of holy water for the Bible—and the service of the masque rade for the service in pure English of a known tongue. (Great applause.) When they did this we would be one with them. All we wanted was, that they should give up innovations, and adhere to what was primitive—have no head but Christ, and allow neither Pope nor any one else to share homage with the Redeemer. Let British Protestants demand this, and soon would the time arrive when England and Ireland, and all the ends of the earth, would have the Prince of Peace reign ing over a tranquillised and purified world. The rev. gentleman resumed his seat amid loud and protracled bursts of applause. The Rev. F. BARKER moved the last resolution, and in doing so expressed his warm approval a' the objects of the society, and commended their exertions. As a me vious speaker had remarked, they would only attain their object by showing a bold front to the enemy. The Rev. Dr. M'NEILE seconded the motion in a pow erful address. The resolution called attention to the dis orders and commotions now prevalent in Ireland, and which had their origin in Romanism, and could be over come finally only by the dissemination of Scriptural truth. The Government of England had gone so far in encouraging Romanism that they dare not now leek it in the face. It was thought by Protestants some years back that there were two ways to put down Popery,—the cir culation of the Bible and the co. operation of the British Government. They (the Protestants) had long warned the liberal legislators that if they proceeded from con cession to 'concession confusion would be the result, and now actual rebellion was the result. The law-givers had scorned their warnings, and the consequence now was, that through divided interests, we had a suspension of the constitution. The Liberal Government had gone so far, that it would be difficult now to find a remedy. We were now aware that no human powers, but God alone could put down the moral disorders. He alluded to the period between the reign of William 111 and George 111, when alone, thorough peace generally prevailed in Ire land, from the maintenance of the principles of the Reformation. He gloried in the measures that had brought this about ; he had no objection to the energetic measures of the Orangemen of Ireland, who had but to show themselves in comparatively small numbers, in order to disperse and confound their oppo nents. From the time that concessions were shown to the Roman Catholics, rebellion showed its head. The priests fomented disaffection in Ireland ; but the moment they found the government too strong for them, they changed their tactics, and preached peace. (Cheers.) There was not a true-hearted Protestant who had b e l onge d to the government for some years back. Lord John Rus sell had not supported Protestantism ; neither had Sir R. Peel, who had acted in fact more reprehensibly, for his promises had been greater. He would always prefer an open and candid foe, to a pretended friend. He then, with allusion to the meeting of the night, said that they had heard some excellent speaking, but that they had yet some real business to transact, and late as it was he would allude to it. He was sorry to observe that he saw among them few or none of their merchant princes to support their worthy and venerable chairman. (Hear, hear.) True, the weather was unfavourable, but their respected president had braved the rain and the tempest to be pre. ta,vc. Au Luc Ui tile gospel. inns, mine multitudes have been drinking in the principles of treason and rebellion, thousands in the Church of Rome have been drinking in-prin ciples from the pure fountain of Divine Truth, which will en sure loyalty to our Sovereign respect for British law, and, above all, obedience to the Saviour. Whatever remedies may be employed to establish order and promote prosperity in Ire land, the root of her disease will be left untouched until scrip tural light is poured upon the minds of the people. Other plans for ameliorating their condition may be beneficial up to a certain point, but theword of God alone can grapple success fully with the master evil of that land. If this remedy were more extensively applied; the same results which we now be hold on a small scale, through the labours of the Irish Society, would soon be discerned far and wide. On this principle that society conducts its labours. Already it has brought almost 300,000 of the people into contact with the Irish scriptures, and this year nearly 800 individuals are employed by this society in instructing the people in their own tongue. The seeds of hea venly truth will promote Ireland's real welfare, and establish British influence on a lasting basis. The Rev. D. FOLEY proposed the adoption of the-re port, and said that the great master evil of Ireland was the Church of Rome. He felt, as the result of a rational con viction, that Rome was not only the great evil of Ireland, but the great evil of every country where Romanism pre vailed. In the north of Ireland a vigorous spirit of Pro testantism prevailed, and crime was almost unknown. In the south of Ireland crime was encouraged, and all kinds of evil were encouraged. The pike was the weapon fre quently used, and this, and much more than this, was the vicious teaching of the Church of Rome. Ireland was not one isolated instance of the villainous system of Po pery. Spain afforded a lamentable example of the atroci— ties of the Roman system. What was the remedy ? He had no objection to legislative enactments; but still, un less Protestant modes of order were adopted, no good could be expected. It was a constant cavil that Protestantism was a total failure in Ireland. He denied this, and he asserted confidently that if it were not for Protestantism, trial by jury would be a farce in Ireland. The Protestants sustained trial by jury, and were absolutely the only men who sustained the connexion between England and Ireland. The great fact must ever be told, and never be forgotten, that the Church of Rome had never yet circulated the Bible in the Irish language; and yet there never was, at any former period of the Irish history, such an opening for the circulation of the scriptures as there was at present, even in Tippe rary. About six months ago, we had only 25 scripture schools, but in three months these schools increased to 92. Then persecution commenced; the priests spoke from the altar against him (Mr. Foley) and other Protes tant clergymen ; and great were the efforts which were required to sustain the position of the Irish Society's school. But the society was nevertheless sustained ; and here he was delighted to say that there was not a single teacher connected with the Irish Society who was connected with any Ribbon or Rebel Society. There were now 100 teachers, and 1,850 readers of the Bible in Tipperary alone; and, besides these, there were upwards of 3,000 more who were reading the Bible in their native tongue, though they were not exactly recog nized by the Irish Society. He asserted publicly and fearlessly, that the priests, one and all, were the teachers of sedition and rebellion, but he asserted with equal pub licity and fearlessness, that the two millions of Protes tants in Ireland would drive all the repeal clubs out of Ireland. (Load cheers.) He, moreover, asserted confidently that the Protestantism of Ireland was the Protestantism of courage, and intelligence, and deter mination, and that in the midst of obloquy and persecu tion, the friends of the truth would steadfastly maintain the cause of Christ. He was happy to say, also, that even in Ballingarry, where the late rebellion was rife, the Scripture readers were exceedingly busy, and that in another part of the country not far distant from Ballin garry there were no fewer than one hundred converts from Popery. .He had himself preached to one hundred and fifty Roman Catholics in the city of Cork, the other day, and the work of preaching was going on successfully in various districts of the county of Cork. He was happy to say that very many of the Protestant clergymen were now preaching in the Irish language, and that one of these clergymen alone had no fewer than six hundred converts from Popery who were attending the Scriptural schools. Along the coast of Waterford there was a most wonderful spread of the reading of the Scriptures ; tradi tion was being entirely abandoned there ; and most im portant and interesting were the conversations which were constantly going on among the peasantry relative to the Sacred Scriptures. He (Mr. Foley) was in the habit of addressing thousands of Roman Catholics, at the va rious funerals at Clonmel, and he was happy to say that much good was the result. He concluded with a power ful appeal in favour of the society, and urged upon the meeting valianCy to oppose the master evil of the day and of Ireland—Popery—and strenuously to propagate the Go spel of Truth in his unhappy land. Mr. Foley con cluded amid great applause. The Rev. HUGH STOWELL rose, amid protracted cheer ing, to second the resolution. He said it had often been his lot to stand before the people of Liverpool in favour of Ireland ; and though he was no Irishman himself, yet he was delighted with the Irish friends by whom he was sur rounded; and he could not but feel that Ireland would be great and glorious among the nations were she but freed from the upas-tree of Popery. Had it not been for the direct and indirect conduct of the government, Popery would now be as low as the depths of the sea, for she seemed occasionally to be sinking like a dead body, until galvanised again by the acts of the government. Orangeisto was the mainstay of Ireland, ( Loud cheers.) Aag►Ast 2.2,1848. sent. He considered that no tOttn in the kingdom would be more benefitted by the improvement of Ireland than Liverpool, and he proposed, not as an amendment, but a rider to the resolution, that a special subscription should be raised in Liverpool for the furtherance of the objects of the society, i n any way, suggested by the committee, in which it would be likely to be most effective. The government, if they showed themselves in earnest in this way, would be constrained to come forward in the cause of Protestantism and could no longer sanction Popery. He alluded to the diplomatic negotiations between this coun try and the Pope in Italy, as disgraceful and de grading to England. He proposed that they should come forward with small subscriptions for Scriptural teaching in Ireland. The House of Commons would then no longer taunt them when they petitioned. by say ing they talked much but did nothing themselves. ne concluded by moving a rider, to the effect, that a special fund should be raised in Liverpool, and a sub-committee be appointed to conduct the correspondence and assist in forwarding the plan. This was seconded. The Rev. CHAIRMAN put the motion, remarking that the rider was an excellent addition to the motion. The motion, as amended, was unanimously carried. A vote of thanks, on the motion of the R e v. gr. PARRY, was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. On Sunday sermons were preached in many of the churches in town, when liberal collections were made in aid of the funds of the society. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY EXPRESS.) MONEY MARKET. YESTERDAY.

During the last week, the arrivals of all kinds of grain of home produce, including Flour, coastwise and by land carriage, were on a very moderate scale. Although the attendance of buyers was not large, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was steady, arising from the continuance of very unfavourable weather for the growing crops, (harvest work in particular,) and the spread of the Potato disease, at an advance in the quo tations paid on Monday last of from 3s. to 4s. per quarter, and at which nearly the whole of the supply was disposed of.

STANDARDS OF REPUTAPION.—At the last assizes in Newcastle, the keeper of a lodging-house, a woman, who had put some thievish men and women in bed together, told Mr. Dundas that " she did not think they were bad characters : she would not have any bad characters in her house." " Bad characters," observed Judge Erler " with such persons as the witness, means people who do not pay for their lodgings." In another case the landlord f o t e f el he i sh B e e l d e s man, wign who k e s a h s ad e d h e to been robbeddefine b twheficephnedivitiaoantiopf • a s y, and replied, " He had had drink, but was qualified tort for liq uor, AND PAY FOR IT :" w hi c h , said Mr. Otter, was a lan d lord's criterion of sobriety.. A ROYAL ROMANCE.—The new Administrator of the German Empire—the Archduke JOhn of Austria—was loft exiled from the Imperial Court on account of his plebeian marriage. The story is thus told :---Once on a summer's day, upon arriving at Aussee, a small town in Styria, he royal traveller was informed that from some grave mish a p or Other no postilion was at hand. The unfortunate gouty old postmaster and his wife were in the greatest distress — the maids were sent out to find a man able to drive th e Prince's carriage ; the groom was bid rat h er h ars hly to put a the horses, when the handsome young daughter of the house quietly approaches her father, and assur es him that she will take the rei ns , f or f ear thaton the bad roads.some harm might happen to his Imperial Highness by a more unpractised driver. A few moments afterwards she ascends the box, and drives the horses in a masterly man ner through the narrow and tortuous street of the moun tain village. The Prince was surprised, and, when the road became easier, he accosted her, thanking her for s o great a kind ness on h er part. To all he said, the answer s were so innocent a n d so c l ever, t h at h e ended an h o ur's conversation by announcing his intention to marry his fa i i driver. The po s t- mas t er ' s d aughter was frightene d an a so was the Emperor Francis when he heard of this untoward plan.
