HOUSE OF LORDS.- MONDAY Lord LvtimitiltST, in the conrse of krone remarks upon the bill for Chancery reform, lately introduced by the Prime Mi nister in the House co Cow mons. contended that the provisions contained in that measure respecting the Master of the Rolls and judges of the equity bench interfered with the privileges of their lordships' hou,e. The question ought to be referred to the committee of privileges, and the noble lord concluded by a motion to that effect, which wms agreed to. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MoNnkr The house having gone into committee on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, Mr. WA LPOLK moved a series of amendments to the preamble, with the object of rene.ering the bill an effectual protest against papal usurpation, since it appeared that they were not to be allowed to make it effectual as a remedial mea sure. These alterations were negatived, and the preamble adopted. The house then resumed, the report being ordered to be brought up on Friday.—The Oaths of Abjuration (Jews) Bill went through committee, and was ordered to be reported on Friday.—The Court of Chancery and Judicial Commit:ee Bill passed the second reading.—The report of the committee of supply was brought up and agreed to, after some prolonged commentaries by Mr. Bumf , : on the Caffre war vote. ^TUESDAY HOUSE OF LORDS Lord REDESDAI (this day, jesty to mass, need his intention on Tuesday, n ;iddre.ss to the Queen, praying her Ma ll)le the Houses of Convocation.

So long as _ . they remained within Scotland they were a rated from that Chord and this they did at tilt that no individuals who eutertai of the Establistied Church of atous advocates, but having sepa they raised an outcry against them; same time that they took especial care 'ned opinions different from theirs should gain admission to the Free Church clia'rs.

The United States steam-ship Humboldt arrived at New York on the 17th inst. from Havre and Southampton. The steam-ship North America, announced to sail from New York on the 17th inst. for Ireland, and whose anti cipated arrival has lately caused such extensive prepara tions and induced so many sanguine hopes in that country, had suddenly been withdrawn, the Galway route not hav ing proved sufficiently attractive. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, writing relative to postal arrangements, mentions that, from the 6th of July next, there will he a regular uxchange between the United States and the British pro vinces of New Brunswick, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland, at the same rates established for the United States and Canadian mails. The yacht America, lately built at New York to com pete with the vessels belonging to the English yacht club, was to sail on the 18th for London. She had already been beaten by a yacht named the Maria. She cost 20,000 dollars. Her price, however, would have been much higher hut for this defeat. SAN FRANCISCO IN ASHES—Loss, $15,000,000 All the Newspapers-offices but One Destroyed. New Orleans, June 13. The steam-ship Alabama has just arrived, with two weeks' later news from California, dates being to May 15. The news was via' Acapulco. A terrible fire had occurred in San Francisco, laying in ashes property to the amount of $15,000,000. Among tbe buildings destroyed are the Custom-house, Union, Parker's, National, New World, City, D. lmanico's, and the Exchange Hotels ; also Rose's Buildings and the offices of the Steam-ship Company. The fire also spread to the shipping, burning a large num ber of vessels which were lying at the wharves. It was first discovered in Clay-street, and ran through about one dozen blocks, quickly spreading to the other parts of the city. the greater of which is a heap of ruins. The buildings of-Hunter, George's, Main, Centre, and El Dorado-streets are reduced to mere shells. The utmost consternation prevailed during the fire, and thousands were turned out of house and home. having lost their all. Measures were about being adopted to relieve the distressed. It is thought that a number of lives have been lost. All the news paper. offices, except:that of the Alta California, have been destroyed. Business was not thought of. San Francisco presents a sorrowful and heart-rending picture. The news from the mines continues of a cheering cha racter, new discoveries were daily being made, and the prespects of the miners were highly favourable ; those working with the quartz machinery were reaping a rich reward ; in some instances the average per man was 4330 to S5O per day. Lynch-law is still in force; several in stances had occurred. THE PAPAL STATES The Univers states, in a letter from Rome of the 20th, that the garrison of Rome is to be increased by 1,500 men more. It adds, that General Gemeau having demanded, in consequence, of the Papal government the occupation of several military posts, the latter has granted some, but refused others, among which were the Collegio Romano and the Pontifical palace of the Quirinal. The Austrians have advanced to Otricoli. Monsignor Matteucci was, while visiting the prison of San Michele at Rome, accosted by several political prisoners with violent insults and im precations, and one of them threw a bottle at him, which slightly wounded the reverend prelate. It is believed an Anglo-French company, at present represented at Rome by M. Montelar, will undertake the execution of the great railway line from the Adriatic to the Tuscan line. A letter from Rome, of the 20th, in the Constitution net, contains an account of several events calculated to produce disturbances, which the correspondent attributes to the Mazzinians. It confirms the fact of the explosive cigars we mentioned a few days ago, and odds that a strict inquiry having been set on foot by the police, several par cels of cigars were found in the very magazines of the Government, sealed with the Government seal, and charged with fulminating powder contained in a small tin tube. In consequence of this discovery several arrests have been made. Signor Bonifazi, the bookseller, had his premises set on fire, but disastrous consequences were happily averted by timely assistance. Since then he has received threatening letters menacing him and his family with death. The police, according to this letter. have some hopes of discovering the murderer of ignor Evan gelisti, a man having been discovered lurking near the house of Colonel Nardoni, armed with a double-edged stiletto, which exactly corresponds with the sort of weapon which the surgeons declare has been used in stabbing the above-mentioned victim. Two brothers, named Cincinnati, have been condemned by default to hard labour for life for having thrown stones at some French soldiers at Frascati, one of whom has since died of —;Yed in a contusion received in consequence. The Bologna Gazette of the 18. h gives an account of an encounter between two detachments of Papal troops and six robbers, in the vicinity of Bologna. Three sol diers were wounded by the fire of their adversaries, but one of the latter having been killed, the others took to flight and escaped. Forty men have just been tried. and most of them con victed, for sedition and treason, in the Swiss canton of Fribourg. A young lady lately appeared in male attire at St. Louis, and one of the editors says that her disguise was so per fect, she might have passed fora man, had she hada little more modesty. CHLOROFORM A PROPELLING POWER.—Experiments with chloroform as a propelling power, in the place of steam, are now making in the port of Lorient; and there is reason to hope, from the success which has already attended them, that they will result in causing a conside rable saving to be effected in cost and space.—Galignani. It is confidently reported that Lola Montes is about to reappear upon the stage, and that large offers have been made to her by Barnum. It is certain that she spends her time in practising the half-forgotten steps and graces of her youth, and is taking lessons most assiduously from the ballet-master of the opera. Jenny Lind's movements still occupy the American press. On the 9th she closed her engagements with Bar num, at the end of the 93d concert, paying to the `• gene ral" 7,000 dollars, in addition to the sum stipulated to be forfeited should she not finish her 100 nights' entertain- Barnum, it is stated, has made £120,000 by the , and Jenny £BO,OOO. DESTRUCTION OF ARCHANGEL BY I•IRE.—Mr. Handy- side, of Derby, has received a letter from Russia. The writer says :—" The fire in Archangel occurred on the29th of May, old style, (11th June). The whole of the better part of the town is destroyed. The houses of the foreign merchants are, with very few exceptions, burned to the ground. The tire lasted only about twelve h ours , b u t in that time one hundred and fifty houses, extending over a length of two versts (14 miles) were destroyed. Arch angel is built almost entirely of wood. Many of the foreign merchants are sending their families abroad. Many families are living in barks on the river, in tents, and under any temporary shelter that can be found. Of the direction of the streets not a vestige remains. No lives Derby Reporter. were lost SUPPOSED CAPTURE OF A SLAVER.—BV the British schooner John Wesley, from Nassau, we have papers con taining the following item :—A steamer, having a disabled brig in tow, bad been seen from the Caicos, and, from the circumstances mentioned in the following paragraph, it is conjectured that the latter was a captured slaver—" Capt. Coverley, of the schooner Nancy, arrived on Friday from the Caicos, informs us that on Sunday. the 13th ult.. he heard at intervals, the whole of that day, heavy cannon ading to the leeward of Lnrimores, Gaicos. On first hear- ing it he supposed the tiring proceeded from some vessel in the vicinity in distress, but could see nothing to strengthen this impression. The next day he saw smoke as from a steamer, and later on that day a steamer having a brig in tow stood in close on Lorimores, and then bore away to the north-west. The brig's rigging was much cut up, and one of her masts was gone, as also one of the steamer's. She was probably a slaver, which, after a long chase, the steamer had succeeded in capturing."—New York TribunP LAW INTELLIGENCE On WedLesday a tradesman of London obtained a ye diet, with £lO damages, as compensation for injuries su tained in conse compromise t £5O. Fie action for £2O, but th - e plaintiff demanded IRELAND. The Lord. Lieutenant has appointed Robert Ball, Esq., LL.D., to be secretary to the board of Queen's - Colleges, in Ireland. A man was killed by a boiler explosion at the Clogbroe flour mills near Cork a few days since. A verdict of pan. slaughter was returned against the enzine driver. Prince de Joinville, son of the late King of the French, and three of his royal relatives, have been lately .visiti,ng the Lakes of Killarney, with which they were delighted. They sojourned at Cotter's Hotel, on the lake. Sir Coleman O'Loghlen and Mr. O'Hea have sent in their resignation as standing law-advisers to the Dublin Corporation, on the ground that cases have been submitted to other barristers. This led to a four hours' discussion with the municipal body last week, and the acceptance of the resignation is postponed. A peculiarly savage crime has been committed near Dundalk. While a young man was proceeding to mass on Sunday morning, accompanied by his sister, a gang of ruffians attacked him and put him to death before his sister's eyes. The young man's father had lately taken a piece of land from which another had been evicted. The impression now generally prevails that the result of the Irish census shows the population to be less than six-and-a-half millions. In 1831 the copulation of Ire land was 7,000,000; in 1841 it was 8,176,01'0; and at the same ratio it is calculated that it should, under ordinary circumstances, be at present nearly 10,0 t 0.000. SHOCKING SUICIDE.—The Cork Constitution contains an account of a shocking suicide by a private soldier of the 40th Regiment, who, having been disappointed in forming a match with a young woman, the daughter of a pensioner, purchased half a pint of oil of vitriol, which he swallowed, and, strange to say, survived until the next day, when death put an end to his torture. His name was Alfred Winstanley, and he was a native of England. The emigration drain from Ireland has not been much, if at all, diminished, although it might by expected that the small farmers were, in general, waiting to gather in the present harvest, and take its produce with them across the Atlantic. No doubt, however, the flight of emigrants will be much increased after the crops shall have been dis posed of. 1 t is said that the thinning of the congregations in the Roman Catholic chapels of some districts' has become most remarkable. The sale of Encumbered Estates in Ireland progresses slowly. There were three estates in the order of sales for Tuesday, but owing to the wretched attendance, along with other causes, the attempt to dispose of even a single lot was unsuccessful. Two properties only were lint up, one of which was situated in the county of Limerick, and was of considerable extent.; the second, which was in the county of Galway, was but a trifling affair, and offered no peculiar attractions for the random speculator. During the short time which the Court sat there were but two or three bids made, and those at so low a figure that the proceedings were abruptly brought to a close, and all the sale: adjourned. BREACH OF PROMISE.—TWO actions of this tender na ture were tried at Dublin on Monday. The first was " Nowlan v Sullivan," the plaintiff being a young though portion'ess lady, the daughter of Captain Nowlan, and the defendant, being a rich millowner. The contract was ad mitted, but the defence set up was that the lady had re leased him from his vows, that she was consumptive, and that consumption (organic) was contagious. The jury awarded the lady £lOO damages and costs.—The other action was brought by Miss Catharine Edwards, for being jilted by Mr. Richard Rafferty—and the jury arrived at the same conclusion, that the capricious lover should pay £lOO. with 6d. addition to her costs. The plaintiff in this case was the daughter of a millowner resident at Tulla. more. She was wooed, and her consent to marriage won. by the defendant, an extensive farmer, who, however, afterwards married another woman. CAT AND MICE.— A few days since a cat, belonging to Mr. David Reid, a farmer, living at Killen, near Holly wood, brought forth kittens, all of which, with the excep tion of one, were drowned, and about the same time it happened a memoer of Mr. Reid's family discovered a brood of young mice, which he carried home, believing puss would make a meal of them ; but, to his as;onish ment, the young " varmint" met with quite a different reception from their natural enemy. The cat took them up one after the other in the most affectionate manner, and deposited them gently by the side of the young kit ten. She has since sh, wn them all the fondness of a parent, without making any distinction between her own and the adopted ; and the " happy family" continue to live on the best terms with each other. The mice, though far front lying on a bed of roses, seem perfectly "at home" in their new abode, and suckle puss with avidity, without as yet any unpleasant circumstances arising to mar the uninterrupted good feeling subsisting between &I.—Bel fast Chronicle. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. RAILWA Y AFFAIRS. Messrs. Fairbairn are constructing the engines which are to run express t,ains between London and Birming. ham in two hours and a half. The driving wheels are to be seven feet in diameter, and the tanks of the tenders are to hold 2,000 gallons of water, so that, if necessary, the engines can run 60 or 70 miles without stopping for water. WOLVERHAMPTON, CHESTER, AND BIRKENHEAD RAILWAY.—On Monday Master Brougham, after hearing Mr. Glasse and Mr. Rogers, on the case of Mr. W. Cooper, jun., an allottee of twenty shares of £2O, each in this company, who agreed, in writing, to take the shares and pay the deposit of two guineas thereon, but who—the panic supervening —did not, directed Mr. Norris, the official manager, as the decision will affect 1,400 allottees in the company, to carry the case forward on appeal, so that the question, which has a bearing on a great many other companies, may be determined by the. House of Lords. SHREWSBURY AND CHESTER RAILWAY.--The battle between a large portion of the shareholders and the board of this company continues as fierce as ever; one party, with the directors, strenuously insisting on accepting the terms offered by the Great Western, and the other an alli ance with the London and Northwestern, who, they con tend, offer more certain and substantial terms. By a correspondence with Mr. Stewart, the secretary of the London and Northwestern, it has been inferred that the London and Northwestern would give a guarantee of 4} per cent. The. London and Northwestern party are, therefore, anxious at the next meeting, on the 16th July, to refer the whole question to a committee, which, they think, will not fail to see a great advantage in the London and Northwestern alliance over that of the Great Western.— Herapath's Journal. SPEED AND POWER OF THE NARROW GAUGE. — Great doubt has been expressed in reference to the stated per formances of Mr. Crampton's six feet driving whee 1 engines at work upon the South-Eastern Railway. Many practical engineers even deny the possibility of obtaining 73 miles per hour with an engine having only six.feet ° driving wheels. With us, the speed of the engine, with a train of eight carriages, weighing 44 tons, does not:admit of question, because, on Wednesday last, we timed the speed every quarter of a mile of the dis tance between Reigate and Tonbridge, viz., '2O miles, with a train of eight carriages, and from what we saw of the working of the engine, we have no doubt whatever that, with six, or say four carriages, she would reach a speed of 80 miles per hour. One of our contemporaries " thinks" there is very little difference in running 20 miles in 191 minutes, and in 20 minutes 49 seconds, as witnessed by us. The difference of 79 seconds in a Tun of 18 miles, which is the greatest possible distance over which an engine could maintain her maximum speed in a run of 20 miles, is not small. It amounts to nearly five miles and a half per hour. To accomplish 20 miles in 20 minutes 49 seconds with eight carriages requires a velocity of 66.67 miles per hour for 18 miles—to perform it in 19/ ?quires a speed of 72 miles per hour over that distance POLITICAL MISCELLANY Lord Palmerston calls the Irish Parliamentary Brigade " The Pope's Brass Band." GREENWICH ELgcrrorr.—Final close of the poll : Al. derman Salomons, 2208 ; Alderman Wire, 1311 ; majority for Alderman Salomons, 897.—Alderman Salomons told the electors that he will take his seat in spite of the Speaker ! Mr. G. F. Young is to be entertained at a public din ner by the protectionists of Brigg and the neighbourhood, on Thursday next. It is in contemplation to invite the same gentleman to a public dinner at Tynemouth, for which borough he had the honour to be the first M.P. The town of Newry, formerly a strong hold of the Free Traders, is a convert to Protection. One of the local journals announces, " with much pleasure," that petitions to the Houses of Lords and Commons, praying for the re-imposition of the duty on foreign flour imported into the United Kingdom, are in course' of signature in Newry." ELECTION FOR BATH.—The nomination for Bath took place on Monday. The candidates were Captain Scobell, a-, and Mr. Sutcliffe, Protectionist. The show nanns was in favour of Captain Scobell, and a poll was demanded. On Tuesday the polling took place. The contest was very close. At one o'clock the returns skewed each candidate to have received 928 votes. At the close the numbers were, Captain Scobell, 1,103; Sut cliffe, 1,041. THE NAVIGATION LAWS.—The Skipping Gazette has the following observations on the issue of the debate in the House of Lords on this subject :—" It Free-trat] t now appears, that, the 11t} was never intended for the benefitoi mr commerce or shipping . . The Times is very explicit upon the point; it says,—" To impose restrictions on th e shipping of other nations, corresponding to those to which ara era cnhiortpri h. to abandon the principle upon section of the a Jaw; were which the others the best reason for distrusting it by showing that we distrust it ourselves.' This is very plainly saying that the 11th section of the act was a premeditated fraud which the . ministers practised upon parliament and the country. Earl Granville admitted that we were placed .1. IS 1.41M111_1111111 tug c try ti inc. ••••..- trade to California; but even here his lordship had an apology. Nations (said Lord Granville) must stand upon their rights; and there is very little doubt that the United States Government were technically right in viewing the trade between New York and San Francisco as a coasting trade.' Nations must stand upon their rights ! .To be sure they must, and every nation does stand upon its rights except Great Britain. If England stood upon its rights, the trade between London and Calcutta would be a coasting trade to this country so long as the trade between New York and San Francisco was a coasting trade of America." As an example of the benefits which are to be expected from the repeal of the Navigation Laws in India, and a warning to shipowners, it may be mentioned that it is stated in a recent letter from Calcutta, that sixty sail of ships from California were expected shortly to arrive, the whole of which were foreign bottoms. CLERICAL 11VTELLIGENCE. THE DIOCESAN SYNOD OF EXETER.—The diocesan synod appointed to be held by the Bishop of Exeter com menced its proceedings on Wednesday by attending Di vine service in the cathedral in the forenoon ; but.no more than the ordinary amount of interest was manifested by the public, and the building was not at any time inconve niently crowded. The dignitaries whose absence formed the theme of comment were the Dean of Exeter, the Rev. Chancellor Martin, the Rev. Canon Bull, and the Rev. Canon Rogers. Of the thirty-two deaneries in the see of Exeter, tro only decline sending representatives to the synod. The Rev. Prebendary Hale, rector of Chud leigh, preached the sermon, which he founded upon the first chapter of the 2nd Epistle to Timothy, the 13th and 14th verses—" Hold fast the form of sound words which thou hast heard of me in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus ; that good thing which was committed unto thee, keep by the Holy Ghost, which dwelled' in thee." From the words of the text the reverend gentleman came to the conclusion that even in the Apostolic church there existed a form of doctrine—a definite rule of faith, which contained the first principles and foundation of the truth of the gospel, and which was a line of clear demarcation within which was truth and beyond it error. The rev. gentleman then contended that there were numerous pre cedents for the holding of a diocesan synod, alike before and since the Reformation ; and lie was certain that Archbishop Cranmer and his great coadjutors never sup posed that from such assemblies there could by any pos sibility arise any disloyal questioning of the supremacy of the crown, the separation of the church from the state, and fatal consequences to the well-being of the nation, and even to the existence of the monarchy itself. The remainder of the sermon was occupied with an elaborate and learned vindication of the doctrine of baptismal rege neration. At the conclusion of the sermon, the holy communion was partaken of by the bishop, clergy, and several of the congregation ; after which a procession was formed by the members of the synod, with the bishop at their head, to the chapter-house. The bishop then as sumed the presidential chair, and after an introductory address, proceeded to explain his declaration upon the subject of baptism. The declaration as amended was at length ordered to be printed and placed in the hands of the synod, for discussion on the following day. The sy nod then suspended its sittings, during afternoon service at the Cathedral, and resumed at four o'clock. At the adjourned meeting the synod took into consideration and agreed to a declaration, asserting the guilt of schism to any religious community, and particularly to the church of Rome, which was characterised as the abandonment of truth for error. This declaration was proposed by the Rev. C. C. Bartholomew, and carried by a very large ma jority. Another declaration condemnatory of the papal aggression, and especially of the intrusion of a Roman Catholic hierarch to the see of Exeter, by the title of Bishop of Plymouth, was carried unanimously. At half past five o'clock the synod adjourned until the following day. The synod closed its sittings, on Friday. after adopting the declaration of baptismal regeneration; Dr. Philpot so lemnly exclaiming, at the termination, "God be praised !" THE ARCHDEACON OF EXETER AND THE SYNOD.—We learn that on Wednesday the Venerable the Archdeacon of Exeter, during the Synod, stated in an address that he had attended, in obedience to the bishop's summons, as archdeacon, but that he did not attend as canon of Exeter, entertaining, as he did, doubts of the expediency, and still more of the legality of the Synod—a diocesan Synod of the clergy by delegates being entirely new. On Thursday also an address having been delivered by a member of the Synod involving censure upon other bishops of the church and capitular bodies, who were charged with having neg lected their public duty, the archdeacon expressed his disapproval of such views, and his conviction that those charges were unjust. IMPORTANT SPEECH OF M. THIERS ON PROTECTION In the French National Assembly on Friday, M. Thiers made a lengthened address on the benefits which both France and England have derived from a system of pro tective duties. After showing, by a long array of facts, how the agriculturist, the merchant, the tradesman, and the artizan had all prospered under that system, he con cluded as follows:—A great nation cannot consent to de pend on foreign powers for its daily supplies. We cannot look to others for our iron, coals, and tissues. The hon. gentleman here entered into an examination of the theory of Laissez faire laissez passer. He examined what had taken place in England under Henry VIII., and reminded the Chamber that woollens produced at that period in England were sent to Flanders, where they were spun and sent back in a manufactured state. " What," said the hon. gentleman, "was the conduct adopted by Henry VIII. ? He levied a heavy duty on Flemish manufactures and forced the English to manufacture for themselves. Every one knows to what extent they manufacture cloths. That was what the wicked Henry VIII did ; and if that had been all he did I would not apply the term wicked to hire. (Laughter.) When the English, after taking possession of India, wished to take to their own country the manufacture of cotton goods, they levied heavy duties on cottons manufactured in India, and after they had ruined India they lowered the duties." The hon. gentleman in sup port of his argument, said that England was determined to do everything of itself and independently' of other countries, and alluded to the construction of the Crystal Palace. He then continued to bring forward arguments to prove that the theory above alluded to was the result of indifference, of folly, and of puerility. Such things might, he said, be done in England, but the example could not be followed in France. It was necessary, during peace, to support certain branches of manufactures -by protective duties which would enable them to develop themselves by degrees. I will mention the linen trade as an example. A duty at 5 per cent. was first established, and was found to be insufficient, and it was afterwards increased to 10, 15, and 25 per cent., and the result was that 100,000,000 francs were saved to the country. Such was the result of protection. I now come to my last argument, according to the example of England and of America. We have the Exhibition of London to form a comparison as to the strength of nations ; the Exhibition of London, that noble and grand imitation of France. England there takes the lead, through her speciality in a great portion of her manufactures. She has nothing to fear for iron, coal, or cotton. Masters of markets for their pro ductions, the English have been led to believe that in all other respects they could support free-trade. But for silk goods, for gloves, and other articles, England has pro tected interior articles. As far as that, however, free trade has not been unfavourable to England. It has not been the same with corn • that was only brought about by a political pressure. The aristocracy, however, knew bow to make sacrifices, for that body is essentially liberal; it is the mother and the guardian of liberty in England, and I think that if the aristocracy of England were to perish, liberty would fall with it. (Agitation.) I think Ido you honour, gentlemen of the Left, in saying this, for it proves that you can hear the truth, and the truth is that the English aristocracy is essentially liberal, and that if we do not commit very serious faults we are sure of having England as a friend and a support under circumstances which I foresee, but which I hope never to see take place in Europe. (Renewed agitation.) I am not at all de ceived as the result of free trade in corn in England. God grant that the English people may remain calm before to the eventualities of the future. I hope that all will end well, but I would not, however, wish to introduce into France what I consider to have been an imprudence in England, in spine of all that it may support with the speciality of its manufactures. I will now say a few words on French manufactures. Their characteristics are universality and perfection. In manufactures we are the masters. Compare the productions of France with those of England, Gertrany, Italy, and Spain, and you will see that, you have all which those nations have together, while they have not what you possess. You are endowed with great Intelligence, and are assisted by the aid of machinery. Formerly the glory acquired by our armies made us for get our unfortunate politics ; now it is our manufactures which take the lead. Our workmen out of doors are noisy and ungovernable ; in their workshops, with their tools in their hands, they are perfect. We have ao export trade al most as good as that of England. We sell at a higher price, but we sell good articles, such as excite the admiration of Europe. In articles of luxury there is no country that can compete with us. Does this perfection cause the living of the working classes to be dearer here than elsewhere ? In order to ascertain that fact I have myself visited the different shops in London and in Paris. In London bread of the first quality is sold at 50c. the 21b. loaf; in France it is only 25c. Meat of the first quality in London costs 17 sous, in France 15 sous ; the second quality, 15 sous and 12 sous respectively; and the third quality, 9 sous and 7 sous. With regard to clothing, madapolam in Lon don costs 92 centimes the metre, in Paris only 90c. The making of a shirt in London costs 31. 75c., in Paris it is better made for 3f. You will perhaps ask me why this madapolam, which is made in such large quantities in England. is sold at such a high price to the English people ? That can he readily explained. As the English manufacturers produce large quantities they cannot be come dealers, and the article, therefore, passes through several hands before it comes into those of the consumer. In France such is not the case ; the manufacturer is also the dealer. I am far from wishing to foretell a disas trous destiny for England, but i say that she requires to be very powerful abroad. Suppose, however, that any change should take place in her political position what would become of that influence abroad ? I prefer, for my part, a good existence at hotne.—(Bear.) In America they now make for 24e. what costs the English 29c. Ame rica is also becoming acquainted with manufactures on a large scale. With regard to France, she has a market secur ed to her; we do not depend on a reaction in favour of cheap articles. I should be very proud of being an English man, but I am not unhappy at being a Frenchman. (Loud applause.) Two great nations are now entering on a manufacturing career, America and Russia; one has a democratic, and the other a despotic form of government. Both are making rapid strides. The Americans have good reasons for advocating the cyst _ em of free trade. They lave all they require for food and clothing. But if Washington were to return on earth, what advice would he give his fellow countrymen ? lam sure that he would advise them to remain agriculturists, as the surest means of liberty and greatness. (" Hear, hear;," and sensa- Russia desires to make cotton cloths, because she trade with them in China, her design being to rt them there in caravans. The Russians are perfectly right, for every nation ought to do as much as is in its own power. At first the experiment will cost dear, but with time and patience the articles will become cheap. Look on the map at the spot which we occupy—what is it in comparison to the rest of the world ? Providence has given to China and India silk ; to America, cotton ; to Arabia, the horse. But Providence has given something superior to allthese things to the temperate zone —namely, man. (Hear.) Man, so created superior. exercises his intelligence, and after bringing to perfection the goods which he receives from those distant climes, sends them back to the populations which gave them. It is, I say, the design of God which you blaspheme in proposing to confide to chance this great and noble civilization, I protest in the name of my country against such a doctrine, and I recemmend it to persevere in the admirable sentiments of its policy sad its tradition. (Loud applause.) SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. --4,- GREAT TROTTING MATCHES AT AINTREE The interest excited by the anticipated competition of the pet American trotting pony Lady Muscowe, and the London pony Jacky, attracted a numerous attendance of the sporting fraternity to Aintree on Wednesday last. The several races were contested as follows: A TROTTING MATCH, in harness or saddle, at the option of the owners, for 50 sons. a-side, p.p. Five miles. Mr. Holmes's mare Eliza . Mr. Chandler's b. h. Faugh-a-Ballagh Eliza trotted in harness, driven by Mr. Wm. Yellop ; Faugh-a-Ballagh was ridden by Mr. Birchen. The mare took the lead, and, with a single exception (when the horse came abreast near the distance chair the last time round), kept it throughout the race, winning easily. A TROTTING MATCH, in harness, for 100 soya. a-side, h. ft. Ten miles. Mr. Holmes's London pony Jacky Mr. Taylor's American pony Lady Muscowe The start took place about midway on the down course on the opposite side, and the horses passed the stand no less than seven times. Mr. Burke had been retained to steer the American lady, and Mr. Holmes, brother to the owner, piloted the London pony. Unfortunately, how ever, in taking a preparatory trot down the course, a drunken sailor rolled across the path of the American, and Burke, fearful either of damaging the frail carriage in which he was seated, or the man who intercepted his course, instantly drew up, the effect of which was to pitch him headforemost from his seat to the ground, and, one of the wheels of the vehicle passing over him, he was so far injured as to render it imprudent for him to under take to drive. This caused an alteration in the state of things, and to some trifling extent affected the betting market. In a short time, however. Mr. A. Taylor, the owner, came forward to drive the mare, and mounted his seat amidst loud cheers. Soon after the start, Jacky broke trot, and, in coming up the course, was scarcely past the distance when his opponent was rounding the coming-in chair. On the next time round, however. he was but a few lengths behind on passing the stand, but, 'in going down the course, again broke, and in the third round he was a full half-distance in the rear. He again recovered himself, but several times was kept back from the same cause as in the previous cases. The lest time round, however, his driver was enabled to keep him, and it was becoming manifest that his superior strength was telling decidedly against the mare's evident greater swift ness. At the bottom of the course, running home, his driver gave him the whip, and, notwithstanding, kept him in trot. Just before reaching the distance-chair, he came abreast of the little mare, shortly afterwards passed her, and ultimately won gallantly by several yards, amidst the boisterous shouts and plaudits of his backers, who almost carried him and the vehicle to which he was attached to the weighing-place. Nothing could exceed the skill dis played by both drivers. The distance was done in thirty one minutes ten seconds. The next race was a TROTTING SWEEPSTAKES, in sad dle or harness. Distance a mile and a half. It was won by Mr. Ellis's Miss Brown (in harness), beating Mr. Wilson's Bess and Mr. Stanley's Prince. This race ter minated the day's sports. The lady who is stated in Bell's Life to have lost £20,000 on the Derby is no other than " Ada, sole daugh ter of ' My House and Heart' " (Lady Lovelace). HAWKING EXTRAORDINARY.—Last year we noticed the exploits of Kenneth Macnair, one of the keepers at Anplecross, amongst the hawk's nests, at Shielding, which were almost unprecedented, and enough to incite the jealousy of the Hereditary Grand Falconer. On Tuesday, however, Kenneth surpassed ids last year's victories, by capturing at the same place twenty-four young glades, two old ones, eight sparrowhawks, and one old one, together with thirteen hooded crows, and a polecat, all in one day ! —lnverness Courier. The cricket match between the Gentlemen and the Players of England, on Lord's Ground, commenced on Monday. Seldom, if ever, says the Morning Herald, has Lord's presented so crowded or so fashionable an appearance as that which met the eye of the visitor on this occasion. First, there was something like 3000 per sons on the ground ; next, there were between forty and fifty carriages filled with gaily-attired ladies of renk and fashion ; and then there was no end of ladies and gentle men on horseback. These, too, were in addition to the computed number of lookers-on. At the end of the first day's play, the score was:—For the Gentlemen. G 5; for Players, 207. Amongst the players, Guy got 65 ; Parr, 32 ; Calryn, 48 ; and Wisden, 22. THE RACE BETWEEN SEWARD AND MATTIIEWS.—This raa e was brought to a satisfactory conclusion on Monday, at Hyde-park. Sheffield. Nearly 5000 spectators assern hied to view the race. The distance was 1100 yards, for £5OO a-side. A great deal of betting took place in Shef field, at 12 to 10 on Seward. A special train, of seventeen carriages, was run from Birmingham. Seward trained under the care of John 1-I , fward, of Bradford, and Mat thews under the care of William Shepherd. The men prepared to start a little after half-past six o'clock, 7 to 4 being freely offered on Seward. They bounded away on the first. attempt, Matthews leading by a clear yard, and maintained his lied until reaching the bill the second time, wnere Seward passed him, and eventually won easily by 30 yards. Time, 2 minutes and 45 seconds. COURT AAO FASHION --- Her Majesty will visit the Royal Italian Opera, in state, early in the present month. _ _ _ Ifer Majesty, the Prince Consort, the Princess Royal, and the King of the Belgians, and his sons and daughter, left Buckingham Palace, on Saturday, for Osborne-house, Isle of 'Wight. her Majesty and her royal visitors are expected to return to•day to London. THE ROYAL CHILDRXN TO BE TAUGHT GAELIC !—A correspondent of the Inverness Courier, who dates from the Temple, states that her Majesty and Prince Albert have commissioned a gentleman from the north to engage the services of a Gaelic teacher for the royal family ! " There is every chance," he says, " of an intimate friend of mine getting the enviable appointment." This is cer tainly a compliment to the ancient language of the Gael. ALARMING FIRE IN LONDON, One of the most fearful conflagrations that have been witnessed in the metropolis since the fire at the Tower of London, broke out on Monday, about half•past three o'clock in the afternoon, at Montague-close, Southwark, known as Humphrey's warehouses, near London-bridge, and running parallel with the river. The premises con sist of a block of warehouses, extending the whole length of the str ' et, and abutting to the northern side of St. Saviour's Church. The fire originated in the second story of the warehouse on the east end of the range, which was used for the joint purpose of a rag, hop, cheese, and provision warehouse. In a short time nearly the whole of the brigade and West of England fire-engines were on the spot ; but, notwith standing the utmost efforts made by the firemen, the flames raged with uncontrolled fury, until at last the entire building was one body of fire, and the roof shortly after, being burnt through, fell down with a tremendous crash. Shortly, however, before this event occurred, the floating fire-engines from Southwark-bridge and Rother hithe were brought opposite to the Hibernia Wharf, manned by nearly three hundred men. The hose from each of them was conveyed through the lower ware houses, and in a few moments they rendered great ser vice, the water being literally thrown in torrents upon the flames, but which nevertheless continued to burn with great rapidity. The first range of warehouses had now burnt itself completely out; but in consequence of the great heat the fire communicated to the roof of the adjoin ing warehouses in the occupation of Messrs. Wiggins, White, and Co., hop-factors and warehousemen; and these also shared the fate of those adjoining, and in a very short space of time were completely gutted. The greatest apprehensions were, during this time, en tertained for the safety of St. Saviour's Church, and every possible precaution was taken and though somewhat damaged, the edifice has sustained no serious injury. After these two immense piles of buildings had been in a great measure burnt out, the flames were got under, and it Ras thought that any further extension of the fire was at an end. Between seven and eight o'clock, however, the fourth warehouse, in the occupation of Messrs. Wigan and Co.. also took fire, at the back part of a roof, which soon revealed itself in a fearful body of flame bursting out of the front of the premises, and so suddenly was it that a fireman standing on the top of the wall with a hose nearly fell a victim to the devouring element. However, he made a precipitate retreat and escaped uninjured. Not many minutes had elapsed before it became evident that this building was also doomed to the same fate. The fire next shewed itself in the third warehouse, that had hitherto remained unscathed, although completely surrounded ; and the flames, now joined by a new and powerful ad junct, rose with fearful rapidity, and the evening ap• proaching they showed forth with a vividness that pre sented a scene of grandeur. The fire remained burning all night; and at twelve o'clock on Tuesday, although the flames had been long completely got under, there still existed in all the three warehouses an immense body of smothered embers; and the engines were kept at work in playing on the ruins until nine o'clock on Tuesday night. The total loss sus. tained by this fire cannot be less than £150,000. CURIOUS SCENE IN A CHURCH.—For some weeks past a series of discourses has been in course of delivery at the Sunday evening services in St. John's Church, Upper Charlotte -street, Fi'zroy-square, London, the subject being, " The Message of the Church." Last Sunday the special topic of the day was the "Message to the Poor," and the sermon was preached from Luke 16 , by the Rev. C. Kingsley, the well-known author of " Alton Locke." In his discourse the rev. gentleman eloquently enforced the peculiar views which attracted so much attention to his published works. He dwelt most emphatically upon the wrongs and miseries of the iporer classes, attributing their vices to their poverty and ignorance, and those again to the injustice they suffered at the hands of the rich ; while to the latter be assigned the responsibility o f a ll t h e social evil that prevailed to so lanientable an ex t ent. T he di sc ourse was listened to with extreme surprise by a very crowded congregation. After the preacher had concluded, the Rev. Mr. Drew. the rector of the parish, who had occupied a pew beneath the pulpit, ros e i n hi s seat an d addressed the audience just as they were about to disperse. A most painful duty, he said, had devolved upon him in o n s a rebuke m in e ed matter having to condemn the di scourse j ust d e li vere d , an d a Drew er ed t fhe declared rt e wit hd ste rnc which he had never anti c i pa t ed h ear i ng from a pu l p i t. Mr. o n n emotion,ttelri rtproceededatK i ng sl ey,was t o whose admi nister sermon question able in doctrine, pernicious in tendency, and untrue in fact. He regretted that exhortations of so dangerous a character should have b e e n o ff ere d to the member s of a Christian church. This interposition caused much excite ment among the congregation, and a large number re mained round the doors of the church for some time after they were closed, exchanging comments upon the singular incident of the evening.
