Brown, of the Kendal Ga :elle, should be called to their lordships' bar, for a breach of privilege committed by him in having attributed im. proper motives to the noble lord for introducing a declara tory bill to their lordships, implying that it was so intro duced in reference to'a trial about to take place at the next Westmoreland Assizes, in which he (Lord Brougham) had a personal interest. On the motion of the Earl of ABERDEEN the Church of Scotland Benefices Bill was read a third time. The bill was passed, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MONDAY. IlisznE moved the issue of a new writ for Dur ham, in the room of Lord Dungannon, declared not to have been duly elected. Mr. HUME opposed the motion, which was, however, carried by a majority of 145 to 17. Sir R. PEEL and Sir J. GRAHAM intimated that it was the intention of the Government to carry the Irish Arms Bill, the Irish Poor Law Amendment Bill, and the Scotch Church Bill. That other measures might not be carried was not attributable to the Government, for the time of the house had been taken up by the corn law question no less than 17 or 18 times, arising from the Canada Wheat and Flour Bill, and much of its time had been also occu pied by the continued opposition to the Irish Arms Bill. In the present s shape of the Factories Bill it was not ab solutely essential that it should pass this session, though, if possible, he should like to proceed with it. He could not hope to pass an English Poor Law Amendment Bill during the present sessian, nor did he conceive himself pledz.ed to do so after the bill of last year continuing the commission; yet still there were some amendments he would wish to make if he could. 'With respect to the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill and the County Courts Bill, they were not prepared to say that they should be per severed in, although not wishing to give up all hope of carrying them. Lord J. RUSSELL hoped the government would name an early day upon which they would state positively what measures they would proceed with, and what abandon, during the present session. The bill respecting the Scotch Church would meet with a most determined opposition— the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill had been so altered that, competent authorities had told him that in its amended shape it would produce nothing but mischief—the Factories Bill, contrary to general understanding, still contained objectionable educational clauses; and it was not very gratifying to those who felt an interest in the English Poor Law Bill to find that Sir James Graham's pledge that such a measure should be introduced this session was not to he carried out. Sir R. PEEL said that a great many government days had been taken up by the discussion of motions which led to frequently adjourned debates, towards w,dch system there was of late years a growing tendency. More gen tlemen took part in those debates than was formerly usual, and the government, in consequence, felt much dif ficulty in proceeding with their measures. He attached much importance to the Scotch Church Bill; but he would take an early opportunity of stating what measures should .be proceeded with, and what abandoned. Sir J. GRAHAM complained of the bitterness of feeling which characterised the speech of Lord J. Russell, and expressed himself in indignant terms at being charged with breach of faith respecting the Factories Bill, and the English Poor Law Amendment Bill. The Factory Bill no longer contained any compulsory educational clauses ; and as to the Eng'ish Poor Law Bill, he proposed to abolish the Gilbert unions, and he believed that those who were interested in the amendment of the poor-laws would be rather gratified than annoyed by its not being intro duced. After some further conversation the house resolved it self into committee on the Irish Arms Bill, in which they remained until nine o'clock, when the house resumed, having made but little progress with the clauses. On the order of the day for the house resolving itself into a committee of supply, Mr. C. Woon moved as an amendment—" That this house do resolve itself into a committee of the whole house to consider sO, much of the act 5 and 6 Vic., c. 47, (Cus toms Act,) at_relates to the duties on the importation of foreign sheep and lambs' wool." The hon. gentleman said the object he bad in view was to obtain an expression of the opinion of the house that it was necessary to make a reduction in the duties on the importation of foreign wool ; and he then proceeded to show that this duty enabled France, Belgium, and Prussia to drive us out of the foreign markets by the cheapness at which they obtained the raw materi• , l. They had neither greater skill nor capital than our manufacturers, nor had they better machinery, so that the real obstacle we had to contend with was the duty which enhanced the price of wool to our manufacturers. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER regretted to have to resist a motion for the reduction of taxation, when so strongly supported as it had been by the right hon. gen- tleman. Still he must observe that this duty on wool existed long before the present depression in the woollen trade, and that depression could not be attributed to it but rather to other causes, such as the modern inventions of mixed fabrics of cotton and wool. His chief objection to the motion, however, was that he could not allow the revenue to be so far interfered with. When settling the new tariff the wool duties were retained as being those which it was not prudent to abolish, for financial reasons wholly. Sir IL PEEL, while he resisted the reduction of the duty for the present, would not say a word against the propriety of a reduction whenever the financial position of the country would permit it. It was not very easy to substi tute another tax for this; in fact, notwithstanding the income tax, there was still a deficiency in the revenue. They were bound to sustain public credit, and he hoped the house would not in the present condition of the coun try sanction a reduction of taxation to the extent of £lOO,OOO, more particularly when they recollected that if this motion were acceded to, the claims for a reduction of the duty on cotton could not be resisted, and thus an additions'. - f..700,000 or ;CSOO,OOO would be lost to.the revenue. iie did not think the reduction of the duty would be prejudicial to the agricultural interest, and it was not upon that ground that he felt himself called upon to support it. The house divided, and the motion was negatived by a majority of 142 to 72, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY. Mr. S. CRAWFORD gave notice that on the bringing up of the report on the Irish Arms Bill he would move a re solution to the effect that the unrestricted power of carry ing and using arms for all legal purposes is an inherent right enjoyed by Englishmen and Scotchmen, and one of the essential safeguards of freedom, and that the limit im posed on that right with respect to Ireland is an insulting and unjust distinction, and a violation of that equality of rights which is the only just basis of imperial legislation. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE made it a matter of complaint that the Government had not made a house on the previous evening, when there were some important subjects for dis cussion, amongst which was one of which he had given notice respecting prison discipline. The Government had no right to complain of any obAruction to the progress of public business, when they had themselves prevented the discussion of those important subjects on the only day now left to independent members. Unless the Government wished to become as despicable in England as they already were in the eyes of the people of Ireland, they must en deavour to manage the house better. The hon. member concluded by moving that the dropped orders of Tuesday should have precedence of other business this day. Sir IL PEEL said he was quite surprised, on coming down to the house on Tuesday evening, about twenty minutes past four, to find that it was not sitting. He had to observe, however, that the members of the Government had the weight of their official duties on their shoulders, and bad no right to be exclusively responsible for not making a house, the onus lying quite as much upon the opposition as upon the ministerial side of the house. Ultimately, at the suggestion of Sir G. GREY, Mr. Duncombe withdrew his motion. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved, pursuant to notice, that leave be given to the sergeant-at-arms to plead to the action commenced against him by Ur. Pearse. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE regretted the absence of Sir T. Wilde, for he thought the country had already paid dearly enough for the blunders committed in the course of former actions. Now that people saw the house wavered in sup porting its privileges, they might rely upon it that they would hear enough of such actions. The authority of the Louse was at an end ; but still, in order to arrest the pro gress of the mischief, he moved as an amendment that the party who had served ;the writ on the sergeant-at-arms should be desired to attend at the bar of the house this day. • Mr. HUME seconded the motion. Sir R. PEEL said that the action would not be stayed by the committal of the party who had served the writ, and the motion would only have I,lie effect of once more bringing them into collision with the executive authorities of the law. He hoped, therefore, the house would allow the sergeant-at-arms to plead to thermion. After a short conversatte7h the AtErney-General's mo tion was agreed to, by a majority of 105 to 44. The Health of Towns BilOavas withdrawn for the pre- sent session. The Coroners Bill went through committee pro forma, notwithstanding an amendment was moved by Sir E. KNATCHBULL to have it committed that day three months. Tlic amendment was negatived by a majority of 62 to 42, and the house was soon after counted out. HOUSE OF LORDS.-THURSDAY. Lord LYNDHURST moved the first reading of a bill to legalise Presbyterian marriages in Ireland. The Marquis of DOWNSHIRE expressed his approba tion of the bill. Lord CAMPBELL wished it to be understood that their lordships had never declared these marriages to be invalid. The bill, after a few words from Lord BROUGHAM, was read a first time, and was ordered to he read a second time next day. Lord BROUGHAM postponed the further consideration of the Slave Trade Suppression Bill. The rep o res f the committee on the Ecclesiastical Func tions Bill was brought up and agreed to. The other bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS:-THURSDAY. In reply to a question from Lord JocELYN, Sir R. PEEL said that by the accounts from Ind'a, dated the 29th of March, it appeared that directions had been given ;hat all the Ameers of Scinde, with the excep tion of the who has been implicated in a murder, should be treated with respect, as prisoners of war, and that their ladies and families should also be treated with re spect and attention. In reply to a question from Dr. BOWRING, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that a l i plan had been submitted to Government for establishing steam communication with Syria and the Levant, about a 1 year and a half ago, which they declined to adopt on the ground of its expense. Another one, more economical, had since been submitted to them, and was now under consideration ; but it would, if accepted, compel them to I forego the advantage of calling at Cadiz and Oporto. i Sir R. PEEL stated the business which Government in- tended to proceed with. They would persevere with the Arms (Ireland) Bill, the Scotch Church Bill, the Irish Poor-Law Bill, and the Export of Machinery Bill, this session. It was difficult to say how long it would take to discuss these bills, but he feared they could not anticipate being able to proceed with the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill during the present session. The Factories Bill he should also be compelled to postpone, but he was unwilling to give up all hope of passing the County Courts Bill ; and he should, if possible, proceed with the Small Debts Bill and the Superior Courts of Common Law Bill, but these would depend in a great measure upon the course taken with respect to the County Courts Bill. He did not think there would be much difference of opinion with re spect to the Copyright of Designs Bill; but he should not proceed with the Law Courts (Ireland) Bill, nor the Pri soners (Scotland) Bill, until next year. Lord ASHLEY regretted that the Factories Bill was to be postponed ; but, under the circumstances, the Go vernment could pursue no other course. In reply to a question from Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN, Sir R. PEEL said he hoped to be able to proceed with the Irish Corporations Bill this session. In reply to a question from Mr. B. WOOD, Sir J. GRAHAM said he should bring in a bill this ses sion to continue the'Usury and Rate of Discount Acts for another year. In reply to a question from Lord ASHLEY, as to the treatment of pauper lunatics in workhouses and in their own houses. Sir J. GRAHAM said he would cause the subject to be inquired into. The house then went into committee on the Arms (Ire land) Bill ; and the remainder of the evening was passed in the discussion of the clauses. HOUSE OF LORDS, THURSDAY. Lord LYNDHURST moved the first reading of a bill to legalise Presbyterian marriages in Ireland, which was read a first time. Lord. BROUGHAM postponed the further consideration of the Slave Trade Suppression Bill. The report of the committee on the Ecclesiastical Functions Bill was brought up and agreed to. The other bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, THURSDAY. In reply to a question from Lord JOCELYN, Sir R. PEEL said that by the accounts from India, dated the 29th of March, it appeared that directions had been given that all the Ameers of Scinde, with the excep tion of one who had been implicated in a murder, should be treated with respect, as prisoners of war, and that their ladies and families should also be treated with all due re spect and attention. . _ In reply to a question from Dr. BowniNG, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that a plan had been submitted to Government for establishing steam communication with Syria and the Levant, about a year and a half ago, which they declined to adopt on the ground of its expense. Another one, more economical, had since been submitted to them, and was now under consideration ; but it would, if accepted, compel them to forego the advantage of calling at Cadiz and Oporto. Sir R. PEEL stated the business which Government in tended to proceed with. They would persevere with the Arms (Ireland) Bill, the Scotch Church Bill, the Irish Poor Law Bill, and the Export Machinery Bill this ses sion. It was difficult to say how long it would take to discuss these bills, but he feared they could not anticpate being able to proceed with the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill during the present session. The Factories Bill he should also be compelled to postpone, but he was unwilling to give up all hope of passing the County Courts Bill; and he should, if possible, proceed with the small Debts Bill and the Superior Courts of Common Law Bill, but these would depend, in a great measure, upon the course taken with respect to the County Courts Bill. He did not think there would be much difference of opinion with re spect to the Copyright of Designs Bill ; but he should not proceed with the Law Courts (Ireland) Bill, nor the Prisoners (Scotland) Bill, until next year. Lord ASHLEY regretted that the Factories Bill was to be postponed ; but, under the circumstances, the Govern ment could pursue no other course. In reply to a question from Lord ASHLEY, as to the treatment of pauper lunatics in workhouses and in their own houses, Sir J. GRAHAM said he would cause the subject to be inquired into. The house then went into committee on the Arms (Ire land) Bill; and the remainder of the evening was passed in the discussion of the clauses. HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY. The standing orders were suspended, for the purpose of allowing the Presbyterian Marriages (Ireland) Bill to pass through all its stages, which it accordingly did. Lord PORTM A.N laid a bill on the table, for the purpose of amending the law of landlord and tenant, so far as it related to the improvement of land. The bill was read a first time, and ordered to be printed. Their lordships soon after adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY. Mr. EWART gave notice, that early next session he would move for the abolition of the duty on foreign wool. Mr. HUME gave notice, that on Tuesday next he would move that the Attorney-General be directed to prosecute the agents of Lord Duiwannon at the late Durham elec tion for bribery, and that similar steps should be taken against those who had received the bribes. - Lord STANLEY, in reply to a question from Mr. EWART, said that there was no sum of money at the disposal of the colony of New South Wales for the pur pose of promoting emigration under the system of bounty orders, nor was it the intention to renew that system of emigration. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said £150,000 had been voted as a loan to the sufferers by the late earth quake at Antigua and St. Kitt's, which money would be paid over as soon as the necessary securities were per fected. The Presbyterian Marriages (Ireland) Bill was brought down from the House of Lords, and read a first time. In reply to a question from Lord ASHLEY, Sir R. PEEL said he very much regretted the postpone ment of the educational clauses of the Factories Bill, but he should re-introduce an amended bill on the subject of mills and factories early in the next session of parliament. On the second reading of the Arches and Prerogative Courts (Canterbury) Bill, Dr. isitcuom, said he thought the bill unjust and op pressive. and he therefore moved that it should be read a second time that day three months; and the bill, after a short discussion, was negatived by a majority of 69 to 22. The house then adjourned. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS. OXFORD, JULY . 15. The Rev. Charles Henry Browne, scholar of Worcester College, has been elected a fellow of that society.

Mr. Miles has agreed to subscribe the sum of £4,000 towards the erection of an additional church in the parish of Paddington. ANTI-TRACTARIAN MOVEMENT.—Lord Ashley pre sided over a very large meeting on Wednesday, called for the purpose of preparing a memorial for presentation to his Grace the Duke of Wellington, Chancellor of the University of Oxford, directing the noble Duke's attention to the fearfully rapid spread of heretical opinions in that seat of learning, and praying that his grace would use his influence in counteracting their dangerous tendencies. The meeting was composed exclusively of laymen, and is expected to be the first of a series. The noble chairman, in opening the proceeding, spoke at some length on the critical position in which the Established Church of Eng land had been placed by the spread of the pestilential doctrines of Tractarianism, and urged upon the meeting the necessity of adopting immediate measures for their suppression. Several geriismen addressed the meeting, when a memorial to the Mlle of Wellington was unani mously agreed to, and will be Rresented in4he course of a few days. The Protestant Asilociation has also prepared a memorial to the right rev. the primate and the prelates of the church ; it has already been numerously signed.— Evening paper. , THE SCOTCH CHURCH• COLLEGE OF THE FREE PROTESTING CHURCH,—AP POINTMENT OF PROFESSORS.—The general education committee of the Free Protesting Church, at a meeting held in Edinburgh on Tuesday last, in the exercise of pow ers conferred upon it by the Free General Assembly, made the following appointments to the chairs of the College established in connexion with the Church : Dr. Chalmers, to be Principal and Primarius Professor of Divinity. Dr. Welsh, to be Professor of Divinity and Church History. Dr. 'Cunningham, to be Professor of Divinity.—The special limits of his department to be afterwards arranged. Dr. Duncan, to be Professor of Ilebrew and Oriental Languages. It is understood that the queen lately purchased a pair of alpacas as an ornament to the grounds at Windsor. FOREIGN 6- COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From our Second Edition of Tuesday last.) ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICAN PACKET-SHIP " GARRICK." THE MONEY MARKET.—The New York Herald of the 26th reports under this head that American gold is in demand at per cent. premium, and very little can be procured. The quantity of specie in the country is suffi cient for all its wants, and is constantly increasing. There are in the New York banks 13,000,000 dols. in money; and yet scarcely any is to be found in circulation. There is very little prospect of a demand for business purposes, and money can therefore be obtained on good security, at prices never before equalled. It is expected that it will be long before the import trade can revive, under the present tariff. CORN MARKET.—The improvement noticed in this market in our last report still exists, and prices are firm, at an advance on our last quotations. Genesee is at 5 dols. 75c., and operations to some extent at that rate. Michigan 5 dols. 621 c.; Southern, common, 5 dots. 50c.; flat and round hoop Ohio at 5 dols. 50c. to 5 dols. 621 c. Our quotations for all descriptions during the present fluctuating state of the market cannot be otherwise than nominal. Many holders of Genesee demand a little above the rates given, while others, more wary, are disposed to operate often and remain safe. - • REPEAL AGITATION IN AMERICA.—The son of the Pre sident of the United States is reported by the New Fork Weekly Herald to have identified himself with thisagitation The Herald thus describes the circumstances—" Bob Tyler, (!) agreeable to previous intimation, addressed a numerous assembly of repealers at Boston on Wednesday last." The speech referred to was calculated to excite the passions of the Irish population of the States. In New York a meeting of the Repeal Association was held on the 24th, and exhibited a most tumultuous scene. The Americans have taken objection to Daniel's anti slavery efforts ; and the opinion of parties able to esti mate the feelings of that people upon this ticklish sub ject is that " reaction has begun," and that the " sympa thy" of America " has cooled down to zero." " Every future meeting of the repeal agitation throughout the union," remarks the New York Herald, " will present a scene similar to this. Rows are unavoidable. The whole agitation may, indeed, be fairly said to be at an end in this country." I _ Mrs. Catharine Gilmour, alias Cochrane, who came passenger in the Excel, from Liverpool, was arrested on the 24th inst., on the charge of poisoning her husband in Scotland in January last. Yesterday she was brought up to have her first exami. nation before Mr. Rapelvea, U. S. Commissioner, and ultimately postponed till the Ist July. This is the first arrest under the new treaty. MATANZAS.—An arrival at Savannah from Matanzas brings a report of an insurrection in the Island of Jamaica though no particulars. An English brig was totally lost on the east end of the island of Cuba while going in to load. Mr. Legare, the Attorney-General of the United Stateal had died suddenly. James Gordon Bennett, of the New York Herald, ar rived in England by the " Garrick," and is expected to return in autumn. WEST INDIES. Jamaica papers, which we have received to the 16th ult., announce the melancholy intelligence of the death, at the early age of 22, of the Countess of Elgin, lady of his Excellency the Governor. Her ladyship died on the ith ult., after a premature delivery the day before. The Postoffice arrangements still furnished matter for general complaint. Mr. Kaines, however, the commis sioner appointed to inquire into the regulations of the establishment, was on a tour through the island, for the purpose of investigating all its branches. The steamer Forth had brought only three passengers from St. Thomas's, and the Avon was reported to have run down a brig. , The weather in Jamaica was extremely sultry, and the sea- breeze very violent ; both tending, though occasional showers had fallen, to scorch up vegetation. From the other islands the accounts were much the same, the ex cessive drought and heat having in many places been ac companied by considerable sickness. Whilst the rising crops, however, were suffering from the intensity of the solar influence, those in a more forward state were rather benefited by it.3ln Barbadoes the manufacture of sugar was proceedi with great activity, twenty-seven vessels having been Tespatched with cargoes, and others being nearly ready for sea. From British Guiana we learn that Mr. Emery, the editor of the Guiana Times, having been expelled from the College of Financial Representatives, on the ground of his being under a sentence of outlawry pronounced upon him in Scotland in the year 1834, his real name being Imray, the Governor, after an ineffectual endeavour to set aside the decision, had dissolved the court, and a new election was to take place on the Ist of July. A man, named Constant Macrez, now in prison at St. Omer, and who has been already at the hulks, has con fessed himself to have been guilty of eighty-three robbe ries. The regulations for facilitating the transport of mer chandise on the Indian route through Egypt, have been published. The duty is very moderate, not exceeding per cent. VIENNA, June 25.—Great sensation has been excited on 'Change here, by a report that a resolution has been taken by which, in the course of this year, a total change will be made in the tariff of customs, so that all foreign manufactures will be admitted into Austria on the pay ment of certain duties. THE NEW RUSSIAN STEAMER.—On Saturday, the first trial of a new steamer called the " Duna," 120 feet long, was tried on the Thames. She has been built for the Riga corporation. During the present year a great many steamers have been fitted out in the river Thames for the Turkish, Austrian, and Neapolitan governments. The King of Belgians has issued an ordonnance, that all wools in bulk shall be allowed to pass through Belgium without payment of any transit duty. This exemption is to commence from and immediately after the close of the next session of the chambers, should not the ordonnance be in the meantime converted into a law. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT.-MONDAY. In this case G. A. Pritt and C. W. Clay carried on the business of solicitors at Liverpool, under articles of part nership. Mr. Pritt died in December, 1831, and by the articles it was provided that, in case of the death of either, the survivor should make out and deliver the bills of costs within six months, and after discharging the debts of the partnership should pay the share of the residue, to which the deceased partner was entitled, to his representatives. The accounts bad been very irregularly kept, and were not made out as directed by the articles; and in 1836 the plaintiffs, as executors of the deceased partner, filed a bill against Mr. Clay for an account. An attempt was made to settle this suit, and on the 27th of March, 1837, an an swer was put in stating that the amount due upon the bills delivered was £2,220, and that the amount due upon the bills to be delivered was £122 15s. 6d., that £2,043 had been received, and that £4,413 ss. sd. had been paid. In consequence of this the plaintiffs were induced to execute a release of all claims existing upon the accounts between the testator and Mr. Clay. Among the bills delivered was one for business done for the Manchester and Liverpool Railway, to the amount of £2,000. It omitted several items, and contained others which were carried on in blank. These were said to be of considerable amount. Upon the discovery being made an application was made to Mr. Clay, but as he claimed the benefit of the release which had been executed, the present bill was filed to set it aside, and to have the benefit of the debt due from the Manchester and Liverpool Railway, and to open the ac counts generally. Mr. Peinberton Leigh (with whom was Mr. Rolt) ap peared for the plaintiffs ; and the Solicitor-General, Mr. Tinney, and Mr. Bazalgette for the defendant. Lord Langdale thought the accounts stated were vague ; the omission, however, was accidental, but Mr. Clay had the books, and he ought to have made out the accounts correctly. He therefore did not think he could retain the advantage he had gained. With regard to opening the accounts generally, the reasons stated for it were plausi ble, but he could not be satisfied without reading the pleadings. WILL OF THE EARL OF ABERGAVENNY.--The Will and three codicils of the Earl of Abergavenny, late of Eridge Castle, Tonbridge, has just been proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, by George Henry Neville, his brother, and Daniel Rowland, Esq. the ex ecutors. After observing that by dint of economy he had succeeded in greatly improving his estates, the deceased bequeaths the greater portion of them to his son John, Viscount Lord Neville, together with the sum of £12,000, and also all gold and silver plate, lace, pictures, books, family pearl necklaces, robes, diamonds, and all ornamen tals, which are to descend to the future Earls of Aberga venny as " heirlooms;" to his sister-in-law, Caroline Neville, his "half-length portrait, by Sir Thomas Beechey, and the diamond pin •or brooch that I wear ;" to his granddaughter, Mary Myers, £3,000 ; and to her brother, Thomas Myers, £500; and to numerous branches of his family, legacies varying in amount from £5OO to £5000; to his executors £lOO each ; and to George Henry Neville I one of his executors, " the gold repeating wat c h th at wear, as a small token of my affection ;" to his bailiff, £300; to his valet, £3OO, and a small annuity ; to his butler, £2OO ; to his gardner, £l5O ; to his page, £5O : to four keepers; £3O each ; to his carpenter, £3O ; and to all his female lodge-keepers, mourning. The effects are sworn under £250,000, and the brobate bears a stamp of £3,000. —Britannia. Two boatmen were unfortunately drowned in the Tyne on Saturday week. They were in a boat which was sunk in consequence of coming in contact with a steamer. At the York Assizes, on Thursday, four men were found guilty of a burglary at the house of J. Steele, near Hud dersfield. The prisoners took from Steele's bed-room nearly £llOO, which had been accumulated by his f a th er and himself. The money was deposited in an oak chest, secured by a chain passed three times round it, and fastened with three locks. There were about £230 in notes, 200 old spade-ace guineas (which had been there from 40 to 45 years,) near 630 sovereigns, and about £ll5 in silver, in a bag whicn would hold about three pecks of m a lt. The sentence on the prisoners was deferred. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARb. IRE iiA! D. THE STEWARTSTOWN ORANGEMEN. A letter is given in the Mail of this evening signed by John C. Hunter, and 15 of the Orangemen whose names were appended (fraudulently, it appears,) to the address read at last week's meeting of the Repeal Association. These men declare that they are decidedly anti-repealers, that they had never seen the address in question until it made its appearance in the public prints, and that the cir cumstances under which it was concocted are as follow : " Two men, namely, Simon Williamson and Joseph Williamson, who were formerly our associates, were long in imprisonment, and of late having been liberated came round Stewartstown, saying that they were going to send off a `letter of thanks' to the person or persons who had set them at liberty. We said that the persons who bad done so deserved their thanks, and had no objection to their putting our names to a letter to that effect, but ob jected to it if it was in any way connected with repeal, which they, at the time, positively denied." This seems to be perfectly satisfactory. It now only remains for the financiers of the Corn-Exchange to explain how or by what means the sum of .£l5, acknowledged as the contribution of the 31 Stewartstown Orangemen, with 100 associates, found its way into Mr. O'Connell's coffers, or to say was it in reality subscriped at all. REPEAL PRECURSORS. A statement appears in the last number of the Cork Constitution which shows the sort of encouragement likely to be given to the " Saxon" who may be rash enough to embark his capital and skill in the promotion of works tending to revive the almost extinct manufactures of this country. It is as follows :—Previous to the Act of Union there was a number of sugar refining establishments in this country, which were kept up by a protective duty of 7s. per cwt. charged on refined sugar imported. When the Union took place the equalisation of duties destroyed the sugar refining trade in Ireland, the manufactures here being unable to compete with those of the sister country. However, an effort is now being made by a combination of English and Irish capital, to revive this trade, under circumstances which will enable the proprietors to com pete with English establishments, and in all probability it will succeed unless opposed by the violence and intimi dation which have already been resorted to by the Se paratists, The facts are these :—A few weeks since Messrs. J. and J. Evans merchants in this city, in connexion with Mr. H. Thwaites, au English gen tleman, became tenants fora portion of the Crosses Green quay Mills, for the purpose of erecting sugar refining works, and entered into a contract with a German in Lon don to fit them up. The German sent over six foremen to superintend the erection of the necessary buildings and machinery, and employed over 40 Irishmen of all trades to carry out their orders, and the works have proceeded about a fortnight. On Friday, however, when the men were at dinner, a mob congregated opposite the building, for the purpose of intercepting the return of the English men, while another mob surrounded their lodgings. Here they called on the Saxons' to come out, and the head engineer having appeared, they told him that he and the other Englishmen should leave Cork next day by the steamer for England, or they would never go home alive !' He inquired what harm they were doing ?' The reply was, that ' no Englishmen should work in Cork—that they were determined to drive out all b—y Saxons from Ireland.' He then requested them to accompany him to his employers, and that they might make what arrange ments they pleased with them, and, as they proceeded along the streets, the most offensive expressions were used in Feference to their country. At this time the mob amounted in number to near 200 persons, and when it joined the body opposite the concern, it amounted to about 400. The fellows were moving boldly into the yard of the establish ment, when Mr. James Evans, who had previously sent for a police force under the apprehension that the Eng lishmen would be assaulted, stepped forward and inquired what they a - wed ? The mob then formed a half circle, when one of, them walked forward and said, We have come here to 'demand work.' To demand ?' said Mr. Evans. Yes,' was the reply, ' and to order that the Englishmen be discharged.' What!' said Mr. Evans, ' discharge scientific men, who came here to superintend the erection of buildings, and direct the execution of works, which no Irishman is competent to do ?' Here the engineer came forward and said,—' If you drive us from this country, when we return to England we will tell what has occurred, and the consequence will be that every Irishman at work there, and there is scarcely an establishment without them, will be disemployed.' This was answered by a fellow saying, We will have no Saxons in Ireland.' Good God,' said the engineer, we have fitted up establishments in Constantinople and in Bre men, and our presence has been hailed with delight. We have taken Englishmen and Irishmen to those places, and have not employed natives ; still we were not attacked as we are here.' At this time the police arrived, and the colloquy was suddenly broken off as the ruffians moved away. Ever since the Englishmen, who are in apprehen sion for their safety, are obliged to be protected through the streets by policemen, besides that a guard was to be placed on the building. Under these circumstances there has been some doubt entertained as to the prudence of continuing these works, which will create an expenditure of many thousands of pounds, and after their erection give continued employment to forty or fifty people, be sides numerous artisans, carriers, &c. There is one fact connected with this outrage worthy of notice, as it shows that it was not a common case of trades' combination ; that the parties concerned, who could not be identified, appeared to be strangers, and not city tradesmen. We .have heard of another gentleman who is about to erect machinery for carrying on the chandlery business in this city, with the intention of competing with English manu facturers ; but he has been threatened with personal violence should he persevere in carrying out his intentions, although the establishment would give employment to an increased number of hands and of necessity require the superintendence of an Englishman." The county Wicklow grand jury have agreed to a strong declaration against the repeal agitation, which, they say, is producing the utmost injury to the commercial and agricultural interests of the country. A valuable cow belonging to John Kellett, Esq., was maliciously poikoped at Clonacody, near Clonmel, on Friday night. Another of the repeal demonstrations was held at Ennis corthy, in the county of Wexford. Amongst the speakers was Dr. Keating, Bishop of Ferns. The Newry Telegraph denies the truth of the story circulated by the Dublin Nation as to an alleged " orange massacre," and states, that up to this time no complaint has been made to an 3 magistrate. The most daring acts of intimidation are daily prac tised in the neighbourhood of Carlow to prevent witnesses from attending to give evidence at the assizes. An order was received on Thursday at Woolwich for the first company of Royal Sappers and Miners to pro ceed immediately for Ireland ; and the company embarked at the Royal Arsenal on Monday (yesterday). There are 147 prisoners in the county gaol of Limerick —seventeen charged with murder, three abduction, six assaulting habitations and robbery of arms. In the city there are but eleven in custody for immediate trial—two for murder, six conspiracy to murder. We understand that a number of persons, consisting of women and children, collected in York-street last night, and burned Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P., and Liberator of Ireland, in effigy to the great amusement of the by standers. The far-famed trial of Samuel Gray, for firing at James Cunningham, in November, 1840, which has been post poned so frequently, came on at the Monaghan Assizes on Saturday week. The jury found the prisoner guilty, but the sentence was deferred. REFEAL. — Another repeal demonstration came off at Tullamore, on Sunday last, at which the repeal prints say 150,000 persons were present. There was little new in the speeches, except a little more than usual of boast ful triumph over our conciliation-policy -government. • The Dublin Protestant Association have sent an address to the King of Hanover. His Majesty, in reply, says— " I never did, or shall, deviate from those principles in which I have been brought up by my late revered father George III." SEIZURE OF FIRE AnNrs.—On Monday evening, the 10th instant, Constable Robert Johnston of this station, proceeded to the premises of John Scurlock, of Coolbawn, near Borrisokane, and found concealed in a stack of turf, one double-barrel pistol and two single-barrel pistols, un registered, one well loaded, and all in a state of perfect repair.—Nenagh Guardian. EMBARKATION OF TROOPS FOR IRRLAND.-011 Sat urday morning at eight o'clock, the Dublin Steam Navi gation Company's steam-packet Royal William, Captain Swainson, sailed from her moorings off the Alderman's stairs, Lower East Smithfield, for Plymouth, Falmouth, Dublin and Belfast. At the Royal Dockyard, Woolwich, she received on board between 300 and 400 artillerymen, for Dublin. TYRANY ZN A CONVENT.—We understand two nuns, ladies of most exemplary conduct, and for upwards of twenty years members of an eminent convent in the suburbs of Dublin, have, from frequent acts of constraint practised by the deputy mother abbess, been obliged for self preservation of life and health, recently made their escape from the establishment. They are of res pectable connections in Dublin, who intend to appeal to the laws. of their country for redress.—Dublin States man. EXTRAORDINARY ELOPEMENT.--The Kerry Post states that a Roman Catholic curate, named M`Donnell, lately eloped with a Miss Honora O'Connor, niece of the parish priest of Castlemaine. The lady took £2O from her father ; but was pursued and overtaken by her brother, who found the loving pair at Walsh's Hotel, where they had stopped that night. Young O'Connor lodged infor mations. which were subsequently withdrawn, and the money was returned. It is said the fugitives were on their way to America when overtaken, and that the reve rend aspirant for matrimonial bliss received a severe per sonal castigation from the damsel's br other. Miss O'Con nor first met her admirer at the house of her uncle, for whom he acted in the capacity of curate. EFFECT OF THE DISMISSAL OF MAGISTRATES.—Just at the close of the proceedings of the Repeal Association, on Tuesday week. M r . O'C onne ll gave notice of a very important motion for Tuesday next, to the effect that, in consequence of ithe dismissal of the repeal magistrates by the government, he would move that, in pursuance of the practice followed in the Catholic Association, they would adopt measures for the appo i ntment li n each district in Ireland of arbitrators, to whom the people would refer all their differences, instead of going, as heretofore, to hos tile petty sessions courts, and paying fees to magistrates' clerks. The association would have legal instruments prepared, authorising the persons appointed to act as ar bitrators.—(Loud and prolonged cheering.) Some painters7were summoned to Knockane Petty Ses sions county Kerry, a few days ago, for having painted in large red letters " repeal or blood." Government was communicated with, and the answer received was, " that it was not aware.of any act under which the painters could be punished." Mr. O'Riordan, who was present, ob served that while Mr. O'Connell's speech at Mallow re mained on record, it would be folly to take notice of the harmless conduct of these poor men.—Limerick Chronicle. . TWELFTH OF JULY.—Accounts from the most re mote districts in Ireland have now been received ; and we rejoice to say, that in no single instance did a procession take place, nor was there any occurrence having a ten dency to a breach of the peace, or a violation of order. This is a glorious victory over passion and prejudice, and from our heart do we congratulate those brave and endu ring men upon the achievement of one of the greatest moral triumphs ever recorded in the history of any nation. Well may Lord Roden and his noble and distinguished associates feel proud of the influence they possess, and re joice that their appeals have produced such happy and beneficial consequences.—Carlow Evening Mail. REPEAL RIOTING.—On Saturday night week, a large mob of repealers assembled at the west end of Belfast, with the intention, as was said, of wrecking the houses of Protestants in that neighbourhood. In consequence, the people who had retired to rest rushed out to protect their property. This alarmed the repealers, and they slunk away, but not before striving ineffectually, by all the means in their power, to provoke the Protestants to a breach of the peace. When the Protestants had again retired to rest, the repealers came to Stanley-street, and wrecked the houses, and severely injured the inhabitants. A collision afterwards took place, and several of the riot ers were taken into custody, and on Monday were brought before the magistrates. and committed to Carrickfergus Gaol, to stand their trial for felony at the next assizes. ORANGEMEN—REPEALERS.--A few days since Mr. O'Connell presented at one of the repeal meetings an address in favour of repeal, which he stated proceeded from thirty-one Orangemen of Stewartstown. Those parties have come forward to deny that they signed such an address, and give the following explanation as to how it was got up :—" We never saw the letter until we saw it in the public newspapers, nor was ever such a thing thought of by us. Two men—namely, Simon Williamson and Joseph Williamson—who were formerly our associates, were long in imprisonment, and who have lately been li berated, came round Stewartstown, saying that they were going to send off a letter of thanks to the person or per sons who had been instrumental in setting them at liberty. We said that the persons who had done so deserved their thanks, and that we had no objection to their putting our names to a letter to that effect ; but we objected to it if were in any way connected with repeal, which they denied positively at the time. We, the following persons, deny the charge and foul calumny that has been heaped upon our character, as to one or any of the undersigned giving our sanction to a repeal of the union ; but we are willing, and always ready, to give our aid in support of our Queen and the British Constitution. THE TWELFTH OF JULY IN IRELAND.—This ever memorable day was celebrated in Ireland as it deserved. Though there were no processions, no cheering, no wear ing of party colours, yet in each of the districts the loyal Protestants met together and cheered each other under the many discouragements they are called upon to endure. At Ballyshannon the repealers surrounded Brownes' Hotel and kicked up a row, but the Orangemen were not provoked into a breach of the peace. Lord Roden has addressed a letter to the Protestants of Ireland, which he thus concludes :—" It is gratifying to find that, notwith standing the strong attachment which you entertain for the ancient and cherished demonstrations of your loyalty on the first and twelfth of July, your respect for the laws has triumphed. Your conduct, contrasted with that of those who seek the dismemberment of the empire, and the destruction of Protestantism in Ireland, must produce towards you feelings of respect in every honest heart. Repealers are permitted, with impunity, to disturb the public mind, even in the metropolis, by large masses of their adherents, arrayed in martial procession, whilst you are subject to pains and penalties for celebrating the most glorious events in our history, which placed a Protestant monarch on the throne of these realms, and gave civil and religious liberty to all denominations of the people. This cannot be justice. Either the procession act must be repealed, or this revolutionary movement must be sup pressed. I wish it were in my power to assure you, in dividually, how grateful I feel for the kind sentiments expressed towards me by my Protestant brethren, not only in this country, but from the most distant parts of Ulster. I trust I shall never forget their confidence but always prove myself their faithful friend and brother. " RODEN." Sir John Seale was accidentally shut out from the divi sion on Mr. Smith O'Brien's motion. This and the two votes lost by Mr. B. Chapman's mistake, reduce Sir R. Peel's majority to 7G. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. The directors of the Belgian railroads are building a diligence with two floors. The upper part will I,e a glazed gallery, from which an extensive view of the country will be commanded. It is to run between Liege and Verviers. LARGE TRAIN.—The special train which passed here at ten o'clock on Friday, with the teetotallers of Glasgow on a trip to the Land of Burns, amounted to thirty car riages, dragged by three engines. More accommodation being wanted, a couple of aduitional carriages were hooked on, but even these were insufficient, and on some of the carriages passengers were clustering outside like bees. — Paisley Advertiser. PROPOSED RAILWAY TO BARNSLEY.—On Saturday week a meeting was held at the Court House, Barnsley, convened for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of forming a branch railway from the Man chester and Sheffield line above Penistone to Barnsley, to join the North Midland. From the tone of this meeting, as well as that of the meeting held on the same subject on Monday, at Dunford Bridge, there will be no lack of share-takers ; and steps will be forthwith proceeded in for obtaining an act of parliament. The cost of the pro posed line is estimated at about £200,000. THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—On Mon day a town meeting, convened by the high constable, was held at the Town-hall, Brighton, for the purpose of re ceiving the report of the deputation appointed to confer with the directors of the London and Brighton Railway, relative to an alteration of the fares. The report stated that the directors had agreed to reduce the fares—of the first class, from 14s. to 12s. ;. the second class from 10s. to Bs. ; and the third from 7s. to ss. ; to come into operation on the Ist of August. The report gave great satisfaction. A CONTRAST.-PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT TO BRISTOL. • The change of times and manners cannot be more strik ingly illustrated than in contrasting the account of Prince Albert's visit to Bristol with the ' following curious par ticulars of a visit paid to that city in the reign of Queen Anne by her royal consort, Prince George. In Corry and Evans's History of Bristol, vol. 2, page 423, is the following :—" Extract from an old Bristol newspaper, relative to Sir J. Duddlestone.—Prince George of Denmark, consort of Queen Anne, in passing through this city, appeared on the Exchange, attended only by one gentleman, a military officer, and remained there till the merchants had. pretty generally withdrawn ; not one of them having sufficient resolution to speak to him, as per haps they might not be prepared to ask such a guest to their houses. But this was not the case with all who saw him ; for a person whose name was John Duddlestone, a bodice-maker, who lived in Corn-street, (probably the house now occupied by Norton and Son, booksellers, which is very ancient,) went up to him and asked him if he was not the husband of the Queen ?' who informed him 'he was.' John Duddlestone told him he had ob served with a good deal of concern that none of the mer chants had invited him home to dinner, telling him he did not apprehend it was for want of love to the Queen or to him ; but because they did not consider themselves pre pared to entertain so great a man. But he was• ashamed to think of his dining at an inn, and requested him to go and dine with him, and to bring the gentleman along with him, informing him that he had a piece of good, beef and a plum-pudding, and ale of his dame's own brewing. The Prince admired the loyalty of the man ; and though he had bespoke a dinner at the White Lion, went with him. When they, got to the house, Duddlestone called his wife, who was up stairs, desiring her to put on a clean apron and come down, for the Queen's husband and another gentleman- were come to dine with them. She accordingly came with a clean blue apron, and was immediately saluted by the Prince. In the course of the dinner the Prince asked him if ever he went to London ? He said, that since the ladies had worn stays, instead of bodices, he sometimes went to buy whalebone ; whereupon the Prince desired him to take his wife with him when he went again, at the same time giving him a card to facilitate his intro duction. to court. In the course of a little time he took his wife behind him to London, and with the assistance of the card he found easy admittance to the Prince, and by him they were introduced to the Queen, who invited them to an approaching public dinner, informing them they must have new clothes for the occasion. So they each chose purple velvet, such as the Prince had then on, and in that dress they were introduced by the Queen herself as the most loyal persons in the city of Bristol, and the only ones in that city who had invited the Prince her husband to their house. After the entertainment, the Queen desiring him to kneel down, laid a sword on his head, and (to use Lady Duddlestone's own words) said to him, Ston up, Sir Jan.' He was offered money, or a place under government, but he did not choose to accept of either, informing the Queen that he had £5O out at use, and he apprehended that the number of people be saw about her must be very expensive. The Queen, how ever, made Lady Duddlestone a present of a gold watch, which my lady considered as no small ornament when she went to market, suspended over a blue apron. Sir John Duddlestone, with his lady, lies buried in All Saints Church, Bristol, on the right side of the entrance from the north door." =DURHAM ELECTION.-Mr. Purvis. Queen's Counsel, is the candidate on the Conservative interest ; and Mr. Bright, of Anti-corn-law league notoriety, offers himself on the side of the free-traders. Mr. Purvis left town for Durham on Monday night. Two workmen employed at the sugar house of Messrs. Craven, in Whitechapel, London, Vti ere unfortunately steamed to death while cleaning a boiler, into which, whilst the men were at work, a quantity of steam was com municated from a second steam boiler, which had inter nally burst or given way. When taken out the skin in most parts of their bodies was raised an inch, and in some parts two inches from the flesh, and their tee and finger nails were so loose that some fell oti,. 5u55.......m..........iiii5.•+" Fawceetttt pI;FL• THE LATE FATAL into the circumstances that led to ; lodged iNi r.,• Isidore HarriHarri e t u t the d Colonel David Lvnar Fawcett was resamne ;aiiiiti 13rodie, The first witness examined was Sir ',';'-. being called who related the circumstances attending ...' were barth .
