On the motion for going into committee on the Home-made Spirits in Bond Bill, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the house go into committee that day three months. The house then divided :—For going into committee, 120; apinst, 121 ;—majority, 1. The announcement of the numbers was loudly cheered by the minority. HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDAY. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY was anxious to move on ad ' Ministers out of regard to the late Duke of Cambridge, but Ministers objected, and, instead, addresses of condolence were voted to the Queen and the Duchess of Cambridge, the Nlarquis of Lansdowne, Lords Brougham and Redesdale, (the latter in the absence of Lord Stanley,) bearing testimony to the good qualities of her Majesty's deceased uncle. Several important hills were advanced a stage. - The report on the Benefices Plurality bill, with its amendments, was broiled up by Lord LYTTLETON was agreed to. The third reading of the Parliamentary Voters (Ireland) bill was fixed for Friday. The Metropolitan Interments bill passed through oommittee ; and the General Board of Health bill, and the law Hof Copyright Design bill, were read a third time and passed. HOUSE OF OOMMONS.--TEMSDAY. The Mercantile Marine bill passed through committee, two amendments being rejected by overwhelming majorities on division. In the afternoon sitting, similar votes of condolence 'to those in the House of Lords were passed to the Queen and the Duchess of Cambridge on the proposal Of Lord Join Rue- SELL, and seconded respectively by the Marquis of Gstmostr and Mr- D , IsRAELI. A new writ was ordered for the comity of Mayo. After a lengthened discussion, a moticm of Mr. LOCKE 1CT740 for leave to bring in "a bill to make the franchise in counties - in England and Wales the same as in boroughs. by giving'the Tight of voting to all occupiers of tenements of the annualNaltie of .e 10," was rejected by 159 to 100. Mr. LOCKE then brought forward his motion fee rescinding 'the late postal regulations for the better observance of thelab bath. • Mr. ROEBUCR seconded the motion. Sir R. 'Nauss thought her Majesty's honour concerned in adhering to an arrangement which had so lately been 'reooin mended to her by the government. The right hon. baronet • asked:—" Did the house know low the employes in the :post office had spent the first Sunday during whichttis measure had liberated them from their ordinary duties? At Bristolhetween forty and fifty of them assembled to render thanks to God for ',the boon which had been conceded to them. In Mandhester sixty-five of them attended the church of the Rev. Hugh Sto well, who took an active pact in the movement; and in Liver. pool seventy-five post-office clerks and lettercarrierawalked to church four abreast on the occasion." Lord JOHN RUSSELL moved as an amendment to omit the 'last few lines of the resolution, so as to allow the present sys tem to continue until an inquiry could be carried •out as to whether the business of the post-office could not be transacted on the Sabbath in a shorter time, so as to-allow the clerks and carriers to attend divine service. Mr. GLADSTONE wished the question had been more fully discussed when Lord Ashley's motion was,carried, but theught time had not yet arrived for its being re-apened :—" Bat the *motion was passed by the house, and toTescind the decision of the house was rather a serious matter, the more so when it was .done so suddenly that it was perfectly plain that it was not done fromexperience. However anxioushe might be to-secure to working men the immense boon and blessing of cessation from Sunday labour, he was not prepared to say that, in some cases, for the public convenience. that boon should not be with held, but you could not say you were sensible of the public in convenience that arose from the cessation of the delivery of letters, when, in point of fact, you had mot watched the work ing of the new system for any length of time, and were merely acting upon a foregone conclusion, entertained before the mo tion of his noble friend with the same force as it was entertained now." Sir THOMAS ACLAND and Mr. CARDIN - ELL supported the amendment, and Mr. A. B. HOPE the original motion, " wish ing to establish a rational and Christian, and not a Judaising observance of the Sunday." Lords ASHLEY, R. GROSVENOR And J. MANNERS, declined accepting the amendment of the Premier, which was carried, on a second division, by 195 to 112; the original motion of Mr. Locke having been first nega tived by 234 to 92. A motion by Mr. ANSTEY for a select committee to inquire into the declining state of th , colonial and foreign coffee trade was negatived by a majority of 205 to 60. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY. Lord J. RUS , ELL gave notice that on Friday next be would move that the house resolve itself into committee for the pur pose of considering a resolution, to the effect that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she may be graciously pleased to give directions for the erection, in the Collegiate Church of St. Peter, Westminsier, of a monument to the memory of the late Sir Robert Peel, with an inscription, expressive of the public sense of the great and irreparable loss which the country has sustained by his death, and to assure her Majesty that the house will make good the expense of the same. After considerable discussion the house went into committee on the Weights and Measures bill, when, after the first two clauses had been agreed to, it was agreed that the further con sideration of the bill should be postponed, to give the govern ment an opportunity of considering whether or no the bill ought to be extended to every part of the kingdom. On the motion for the third reading of the Marriage bill, another discussion took place, Mr. WALPOLE having moved that it be read a third time this day six months. On a division the third reading was carried by a majority of 144 to 134. . Mr. OSWALD then moved the addition of a clause to exempt Scotland from the operation of the bill, but this was also nega tived by a major ty of 137 to 130. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--TuunspAy. Mr. EWA RT moved for leave to bring in a bill to abolish the punishment of death, supporting it by the usual arguments urged against capital punishments. Mr. HUME seconded the motion, contending that the less value put on life by the Government the more value would ne placed upon it by the populace, and the more bloody the laws, the more bloody would be the habits of the people. Sir G. GREY said he should resist the motion, because he thought the retention of the punishment indispensable to no security of life, and except for murder there had been scarcely an execution for some years. It was his opinion that the repeal of the law would lead to au immense sacrifice of life, for he was, he believed, correctly informed by those who had the means of forming a judgment, that there was no punishment so greatly dreaded by criminals as that of death. The Motion was supported by Mr. BRIGHT and Mr. S. ADAIR,a fter which The house divided, and the motion was negatived by a ma jority of 46 to 40. Mr. F. O'CoNNoR moved the usual Charter resolution, with every one of its six points, which he was endeavouring to sup port by arguments by no means novel or interesting, when The house was suddenly counted out. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY. The Friendly Societies Bill passed through committee pro forma, and was appointed to be proceeded with at a day sitting oil Monday next. On the motion of Mr. HAYTER, new writs were ordered to he issued for the borough of Devonport, in the place of Sir John Romilly, appointed Attorney-General ; for Southampton, in the place of Mr. Cockburn, appointed Solicitor-General. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON asked Lord Palmerston if he had received any satisfactory answer from the Portuguese govern ment to the remonstrance relative to the impost of .t 6 per pipe levied upon wine imported to England, when 6d. the pipe only is imposed upon wine exported to America? Lord PALMERSTON, in reply, regretted to say that he was not able to give the house any assurance of a satisfactory result to the communication which had been made to the Portuguese government upon this question • there could be no doubt that the difference of duty which had been described was not only a great injustice to the British consumer. but to the Portuguese wine-growers. Her Majesty's government, however, would not desist from making such representations to the Portuguese government on the subject as appeared most likely to induce them to alter the existing regulation. In reply to a question from Mr. G. THOMPSON, Sir GEORGE GREY stated that he had not felt it to be his duty to call upon Mr. Baron Alderson for any explanation Of the terms which the learned judge had used in passing sentence upon the man Pate, convicted of an assault upon her Majesty. THE LATE SIR R. PEEL. Lord J. Russ ELL, again eulogising the merits of Sir Robert Peel, moved that the house go into committee to consider the propriety of erecting a monument to the memory of that lamented statesman. The noble lord, in the course of his statement, said that her Majesty had desired him to inform the house that it was her desire to bestow the same rank on Lady Peel as had been bestowed upon Lady Canning and her family upon the death of the late Mr. Canning. He had received a letter from Lady Peel in answer to her Majesty's wish, and it was to the effect that it was her desire to bear no other name than that by which her late husband was known ; but Lady Peel added besides, that there was a special direction left to his family by the late Sir R. I'eel, that it was his desire that no one of his family would accept any title or public reward for any services he might be supposed to have rendered to his country. After the honours of a public funeral had been declined, there was the stronger reason why the house should consent to the erection of a public monument to the memory of the late lamented deceased. The house then went into committee, Mr. Bernal in the chair, when a resolution was sdopted, amidst profound silence, for an address to her Majesty to give directions for the erec tion of a monument in Westminster Abbey to the memory of the deceased. The address was ordered to be carried up in the usual form. Mr. GoutnußN then moved that the Speaker issue his writ for the election of a member for the borough of Tamworth in the room of the late Sir R. Peel. Carried. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. S. CRAWFORD called the attention of the house to several peti tions presented on behalf of the depositors in the Rochdale Savings Bank with reference to the losses sustained by the defalcations of the late actuary of that bank, and asked the Ch'ncellor of the Exchequer whether he intended to propose any measure to parliament for the relief of depositors who had suffered in such cases? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply, said he was not prepared to propose any measure of the nature referred to by the hon. gentleman, because it would be admitting a liability on the part of the government which the government had never yet undertaken—a liability to which he could never give his assent. Colonel SIBTHORP then introduced the subject of the exhi bition of 1851, and delivered an invective against it, which elicited no reply whatever. Mr. HUME next moved for an address to the crown s praying for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the slaughter of the Bornean pirates by the combined forces of the Queen and the East India Company. Mr. COBDEN supported the motion, which was opposed by several hon. members, and an animated discussion took place. The house divided, when there appeared—for the motion, 29; against it, 169: majority, 140. The house went into committee of supply, which occ u pi e d the remainder of the night. A new writ was issued for the city of Chester, in the place of Sir John Jervis, appointed Chief Justice of Common Pleas. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. FRANCE. The French Assembly was thrown into a high state of excitement and confusion on Monday, during the discus. sion on the Press project, the Minister of Justice, while defending the measure, having designated the revolution of February as " a veritable catastrophe." No sooner was this emphatic phrase pronounced, than the Mountain broke forth into ungovernable fury, with shouts of " Order, order !" " It is disgraceful !" " The Republic has been grossly insulted !" and such like Expressions. M. Girardin declared that he would not sit in an assembly where such an odious sentiment was offered, and that it' the minister were not called to order, all the opposition members ought to resign their seats. This opinion, how ever, received but a very feeble response from the Left, while the Right laughed and jeered, which increased the uproar. The sitting was adjourned in the greatest dis order. M. Girardin and his party afterwards held a meeting, which was throughout most tumultuous; but the proposition of resigning en masse obtained no favour. It was, however, resolved that a protest against the minister's language should be laid before the Assembly, which was duly complied with ; but the calls for the order of the day were so frequent and so loud, that no further _ , THE BEAR AND THE ACTRESS.—A. M. Bonnet, of Montpelier, having a bear of the Pyrenees, to which he had succeeded in imparting a remarkable degree of instruc tion, entered some time ago into a contract with M. Fournier, director of the Theatre de la Porte St. Martin, to exhibit the animal on the stage for 40f. a day, for two months, from the 13th of May last. A play called the Bear of the Pyrenees was written, and the animal learnt its part admirably. But an actress who was to be saved from death by the beast refused, as required by the authors of the piece, to throw herself into its arms, as an expression of her gratitude. This led to difficulties between her and the director, and the authorities having interfered, gave positive orders that the bear should not be allowed to appear in public unless muzzled. This rendered the performance impossible. Bonnet accord ingly brought an action against Fournier for 1,875 f., the amount due to him on their contract, and the authors of the piece brought an action against the director for 1,000 f., for the loss sustained by the non-performance of the piece. M. Fournier, on his part, having given up the management of the theatre to M. Colin, demanded that that gentleman should be declared responsible in his place. The Tribunal of Commerce, after hearing the arguments of all the parties, relieved M. Fournier from all liability, and condemned Colin, as his successor, to pay Bonnet 1,000 f., and the authors 500f.—Galignani's Messenger. Two engagements have taken place between the Rus sians and Circassians. Both suffered immense loss. A letter from Bordeaux of the 10th instant, states that the wheat harvest has commenced in the department of the Gironde under the most favourable auspices. The grain is firm and heavy, and of excellent quality. A piece of gossip by the last overland mail is, that the Ex-Ranee of Lahore, the Queen-Mother Chundah, who escaped to Nepaul, is now in England in disguise, as one of the mission from that country ; a tale at least indicative of her high reputation for boldness and suc cessful cunning. At the recent convention of the diocese of North Carolina, the Bishop requested the appointment of 'a committee of some of his own clergy and laity for the investigation of certain imputations of false doctrine of a Romanizing tendency which had been cast upon him self, and which he met at the same time by an explicit denial. Sir Moses Montefiore has received news from Damascus that Osman Bey, President of the City Council, has re ceived an imperial firman calling on the Christian and Israelite communities each of them to elect some man of talent and integrity to represent them in the council, hitherto exclusively Moslem. The Jews had chosen the venerable and respected Mr. Meir Salaman Farhi, a suf ferer in the persecutions of 1840. Accounts from Malta of the 24 instant state that great alarm had been felt by the re-appearance of the cholera. The seamen of the fleet had been refused permission to land, but some of the cases which had occurred on board had proved fatal. Among the troops the malady had been almost entirely confined to the 44th Regiment, quartered at Florian. The city was generally healthy ; but the total number of persons attacked, including on sea and shore, were 82, 60 of which cases had proved fatal. THE LAND OF LIBERTY.—We are informed that a most infamous outrage was perpetrated on Saturday, by several men, in the vicinity of the Lager Beer-vaults, on the Schuylkill, near Fountain Green. A coloured boy was seized by the men in question, who were heating pitch in a large kettle, and his feet and legs thrust into the boiling liquid. They were scalded in the most shocking manner. Up to last night the perpetrators of this inhuman outrage bad not been arrested.—Pennsyl vanian. PRESIDENT TAYLOR.—An American correspondent of the Manchester Examiner says :—" President Taylor has just purchased a magnificent sugar plantation in Lousi ana, on the right bank of the Mississippi, about twenty five miles from New Orleans, at a cost of £73,000. He was previously the owner of an extensive cotton plan tation, which he intends to abandon, and devote him self, in his private capacity, to the cultivation of sugar. A singular position, you may be tempted to think, for a republic president, to be laying plans for accumulation of wealth by the labour of slaves. But it is by no means without precedent. He merely treads in the footsteps of his predecessors, Washington excepted." AN EXECUTIONER KILLED BY HIS SON.—It is well known that among the degrading punishments provided by the penal code of the Netherlands is the one which is called the brandishing of the sword, and which consists in the culprit being placed on his knees on the scaffold with his eyes blindfolded as if he were about to have his head cut off. The executioner then whirls several times over the culprit's head the sword which is used for the decapita tion of criminals. At Bois le Due, in Holland, a few days ago, the executioner entrusted this duty to his son, whose arm growing weak, he lost command of the wea pon, and struck his father on the head, inflicting a fatal wound. The youth is in custody, but the occurrence was evidently accidental.

The Rover's Bride was gone, -and Mr. Dill having returned to the Rosetta, and informed Capt. Edwards of his trip, that gentleman immediately sent Mr. Banner to inform Captain Bell of the Rover's Bride. Captain Bell immediately made a signal to his other boat at Mallaby to return to the ship, and on her arrival he despatched her with two extra hands, in company with the Rosetta's boat, to ascertain the facts. On their return at seven p.m. they made the following statement:—When the boats arrived at Bunkett, the crews landed, leaving one man in charge of each. On examining the beach, they found it strewed with portions of hair and patches of blood ; they then proceeded up the river as far as possible in the boat; and on landing dis Covered one ton of sandal wood besmeared with blood, near which was the stump of a tree literally covered with blood, portions of flesh, hair, &c., and which, from its appearance, seemed to have served the purpose of a block for this inhuman butchery. Near the stump was found a pistol belt and canvas pistol bag. No natives were seen, and not a vestige of the boat, save the anchor buoy. Finding that nothing fur ther could be ascertained, they took the sandal wood and returned to the vessel. Captain Bell then consulted with Captain Edwards ; and it was deemed best for the Rover's Bride to proceed to Anatam, and the Rosetta to continue cruising about Cook's Bay for five days, in case anything further should transpire. On the Sunday prior to the massacre, the chief of the Bunkett tribe was on board the Rover's Bride, received some presents, and appeared on the most friendly terms.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD• ~. IRELAND. The widow of a once very influential magistrate of the county Mayo was on Monday last appointed assistant matron of Clanmorris Workhouse at a salary of £l5 a-year. On Monday, as some labourers were at work at a deep cutting at the railway works near Moate, Athlone, a considerable quantity of earth fell on them, and three were crushed to death. A woman was arrested by the police in Limerick, on Saturday, in the act of selling one cwt. of human bones, which she had 2 emoved from the burial ground of Killaloe. She had also a quantity of shrouding and caps worn by the dead. The anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne was com memorated in the " Maiden City" by the hoisting of a crimson flag on the cathedral, and an orange and purple flag on Walker's pillar. The joy -bells rang forth merry peals during the day. Three shots were fired from a piece of ordnance on the wall, when the flags were raised. According to the Freeman's Journal, the Austrian minister has handed to Lord Palmerston the sum of £3,000, " the munificent subscription of the people of Austria towards the relief of the Irish poor." It is under stood, it seems, to be the desire of the contributors that the money should he disbursed through the agency cf the Roman Catholic bishops. As the mail train of the Great Southern and Western Railway of Ireland was on its passage from Cork to Mallow on Monday night, some scoundrel, standing on one of the bridges, heaved an immense stone, which dashed through the guard-box ; but, fortunately, the guard was not in his place at the time, or he must have been killed. The harvest accounts continue to be favourable. In reference to the potato crep, the Dublin Evening Post says :—" That the disease has been in existence tbr some weeks past—commencing much earlier than usual—is a matter beyond all doubt ; but its progress in the few localities affected has been so slow, and its range so very limited, that the apprehensions excited at the outset have been in a great measure allayed, and hopes now prevail that the crop so extensively planted will escape with comparatively little injury." AFFRAY IN THE VICINITY OF BELFAST.—The Belfast Newsletter, of Friday, states that a collision took place near Belfast on the preceding day, the " Twelfth of July," between an Orange procession and a small body of police. They arrested the leader of the procession, who carried a drum, and took him to the police-station. Tha Orange men attacked the station, and compelled the garrison of five policemen to use their firearms. William Walker, the rescued leader, and William Anderson, one of the rescuers, " fell badly wounded." SERIOUS AFFRAY.—On Saturday evening, three young men left Newry to proceed home by Canal-street, and thoughtlessly commenced singing certain songs that gave offence to the numerous railway labourers that lodged in that part of the town. A number of those " navvies," of course, followed them to beat them, and coming up to them, proceeded with their intention. The three hap pened, however, to be armed with some kind of sharp instruments, which they immediately used in their own defence, with such serious effect, that two of the " navvies" were wounded, so that their lives are despaired of. THE MURDER OF MR. MAITLEVERER.—Justice has been so far foiled, and the murder of Mr. Mauleverer is as yet unatoned for. The three men who have for some time been in custody (including the car-driver, M`Nally) on suspicionof being deeply implicated in thedreadful deed, were indicted at the Armagh assizes on Thursday, and all pleaded not guilty. When the jury panel was called, they refused to join in their challenges, and the attorney-gene ral directed the other prisoners to be put aside, and Brian Hanratty to be tried. After seventeen peremptory chal lenges on the part of the prisoner, and without any chal lenge on the.part of the 'Crown, a jury was sworn. After a great deal of evidence, the jury found the prisoner not guilty, though the foreman said they cutertained a strong j bus,picion,of.hio guilt. {JNIVERSITf AND CLERICAL NEWS. The-great meeting of thit. clergy on the Gorham case is appointed to take place at,'St. Martin's Hall, Long Acre, London, on Tuesday ne•A, the 23d instant. The 'Globe of Monde 5 says, " There is no truth in the report that the Rev.. Mr. Wilberforce (brother to the Bishop•of Oxford) is. about joining the Church of Rome." So it was said of Mr... Maskell. The oldest of our colonial bishops is at this time in England, the veaerable Bishop of Toronto, Dr. John Strachan. At the age of 76 his lordship has left his dio cese for a short period to repair, if possible, the loss of an immense sum of money given by George IV. to found and endow a college at Toronto. NEW BISHOPRICS.—if Mr. Gladstone succeeds in adding a clause to the church commission bill, empower ing the crown to form a new bishopric in any place where £30,000 may be raised by. local contributions, -(the in come not to exceed £1,500, without a seat in, the Lords,) it is intended to erect Westminster and Southwark into distinct episcopal sees immediately, sufficient funds for which can easily be raised. Westminster Abbey and St , Saviour's Church will form the respective cathedrals. TRANSITIONS PASSING ON.—We are informed that on Sunday evening last Mr. George Ballard, a very con stant attendant at Margaret-street Chapel, and who pro ceeded to Oxford about a year.ago to prepare to take or ders, was received into the Church of Rome by Father Oakeley at Islington. It is further said that his brother, the Rev. Edward Ballard, is in a " transition" state, if not beyond it. 0 n the evening above named, Mr. Heald (the St. Barnabas schoolmaster) and his family (consist ing of four persons,) as we are informed, were received into the Romish communion by Father Pelcherini, at St. Mary's, Clapham. Members of the Romish communion speak very confidently touching the secession of two arch deacons, both of whom are known to be in a " transition" state. A Leicester clergyman is also said to be somewhat " unsettled," as it is called. The, gentleman alluded to, is, we believe, a relative of Archdeacon Manning's. He has published a " St. Margaret's Church Kalendar," in which several Romish festivals are dwelt upon, and au thorised festivals .are " transferred" in accordance, we believe, with Romish practice. Finally, it is reported that Father Newman has been a visitant at Bishopthorpe, the episcopal residence of the Bishop of Exeter. The report is probably true ; the previous rumours, which were very extensively circulated of this night reverend prelate having had intercourse with Father Newman, do not appear to have been contradicted.—Church and State Gazette. THE EDUCATIONAL QUESTION. The following important document is now in course of signature : DECLARATION. We, the undersigned clergy and laity of the Church of England, feel deeply interested in providing for the labouring classes a sound scriptural education in the principles of the Established Church, combined with good secular instruction. We are at the same time of opinion that the proceedings of the majority at the last two annual meetings of the National Society are calculated to pro duce the serious misconception that they declare the feeling of the whole church with regard to the educational -question, and may thus tend materially to multiply the difficulties by which it is already surrounded. We desire, therefore; to state our decided conviction First—that many members of the National Society, and a large number of the clergy and laity of the church, and managers of church schools, are far from believing that the proceedings of the committee of council are " inimical to the education of the poor in the principles of the Established Church." Secondly—That the minutes of the committee of coun cil, including the management clauses as at present exist ing, are upon the whole sound and judicious, and calcu lated not to interfere with the legitimate authority of the clergy, but to create and keep alive amongst the laity an interest much to be desired in the promotion of the great work of national education, as well as to raise the stan dard of education, by furnishing a better trained and better paid class of masters and mistresses. We are, therefore, prepared to act in the spirit of the resolution which was carried at the meeting of the National Society on May 29th ; and to declare that " it is highly desirable that the most amicable relations should exist between the church and the committee of council on edu cation ; and that both the cause of sound religious in struction and the interests of the church will be promoted by their friendly co-operation." The declaration is signed (amongst many others) by the Revs. St. Vincent Beechy, incumbent of Worsley ; R. W. Browne, prebendary of St. Paul's ; R. Burgess, rector of Upper Chelsea ; F. Close, incumbent of Cheltenham ; E. Girdlestone, vicar of Deane ; Thomas Hill, archdeacon of Derby ; J. S. Howson, principal of Liverpool Colle giate Institution ; C. W. Lawrence, incumbent of St. Luke's, Liverpool ; -H. G. Liddell, head-master of West minster School ; H. W. M'Grath, incumbent of St. Anne's, Manchester ; Hugh M`Neile, D.D., hon. canon of Chester ; J. 0. Parr, vicar of Preston ; H. Raikes, chancellor of Chester ; Hugh Stowell, hon. canon. of Chester ; Isaac Wood, archdeacon of Chester, &c. COURT AND FASHION. The Court will return to Osborne House to-morrow. Her Majesty has addressed a very kind autograph letter to Lad♦ Peel. The court went into mourning yesterday for the Duke of Cambridge. The mourning is to last till the 4th of August. A general mourning commenced on Sunday, to be worn for ten days. RAILWAY AFFAIRS. Mr. Ormsby Gore, the chairman of the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway Company, is about to retire from the presidency of the board, and will be succeeded by Mr. Wardell, the banker, of Chester. The Morning Herald of Saturday publishes a long and important letter, addressed by Mr. J. C. Ewart, of New Brighton, to the House of Commons, against the Railway Audit Bill. In consequence of the disputes amongst the railway companies meeting at Chester, three of these companies intend to erect a new station for their own exclusive use, leaving the Shrewsbury and Chester Company sole pos sessors of the present station. The site named for the new station is at the head of George's-street, and is not more than one-third the distance of the other station from the Cross. _ THE DUTCH RHENISH RAILWAY.—The meeting of this company, which had been adjourned, was resumed at Amsterdam on Friday week. It was reported that the financial position of the company had been much im proved. A resolution was passed, authorising the pay ment of the expenses incurred by the Liverpool committee in procuring the recent alterations in the constitution of the company. MIDLAND RAILWAY. — On Wednesday, a special meet ing of the shareholders in this undertaking was held at the Clarendon-rooms, to consider the proposed conver sion of the £5O shares into a reduced guaranteed or pre ference stock. An advertisement had appeared, caution ing parties against attending the meeting, stating that it had been convened by " the bear" party. About thirty gentlemen—upwards of one-half of whom were share brokers—were present. Mr. Brancker—who was induced to take the chair—denounced the proposal as iniquitous ; and Mr. Wills moved a resolution pledging the meeting to opposition. This was unanimously carried. On Tuesday evening in the Lords, a bill was passed for enabling the Great Northern Railway Company to increase their tolls. The grounds upon which the company make the demand, are, the great expenses that have been in curred in getting their line, which, under the head of pre liminary and parliamentary charges, amount to about £600,000. The land too, it appears, cost nearly three times as much as the estimated value of it. The total paid up to December last, under this head, amounted to £1,168,997 10s. 7d., or about £6OOO per mile ! We do not profess to know where the evil lies, but surely there is some gigantic wrong somewhere. POLITICAL MISCELLANY. There are now five parliamentary vacancies :—Tam worth, Mayo, Chester, Devonport, and Southampton. The bill for the better regulation of mines has been withdrawn by the Earl of Carlisle. The British. Electric Telegraph Company's bill has passed through the committee of the lords, without any material alteration. The penny subscription for a monument to Sir Robert Peel has been very warmly and generally responded to. The late Sir Robert Peel has left his papers to Lord Mahon and Mr. Edward Cardwell, 11I.P. The vacancy in the representation of Tamworth will be offered to his eldest son, the present Sir Robert Peel. On Tuesday Mr. Cardwell presented a petition in favour of a fair trial being given to the new postal regulations for Sunday. Messrs. L. Heyworth, J. Heywood, T. Thorneley, and Sir J. Walmsley, voted for Mr. Ewart's motion, on Fri day, for the abolition of all capital punishment. Sir Edward Walker and Mr. Edwin James are spoken of as likely to become candidates for the representation of Chester, vacant by the promotion of Sir John Jervis. Lord Palmerston first took office in 1810, as Secretary of War, and has scarcely left office, but for a brief interval, since that period. On Monday, Lord Naas's home-made spirits bill was lost in the House of Commons by a majority -of one only. The second reading had been carried previously, in spite of the opposition of government. Mr. Maurice O'Connell, M.P., is a candidate for the new office of collector general of taxes. The appointment lies with the lord-lieutenant of Ireland, and the salary is said to be fixed at £BOO a year. On Monday, in the House of Commons, Lord-Naas gave notice of an address to the throne praying her Ma jesty to take immediate steps for establishing steam com munication between this country and the Australian colonies. There has been a meeting of the Wool League in Berk shire, the Marquis of Downshire presiding, at Reading, on Saturday. The noble lord, who was applauded for the example he set in Ireland, in October last, for recom mending the use of " moderate and discreet language," in the Earl of Roden's case, appears now to have gone to the opposite extreme, for he is now represented to have used such language as the following :—" I did not come here to-day to do things by halves ; no, 'I came here to speak out, and to call things by their proper names. (Loud cheers.) And I now declare that I wish this agitation to be considered as a war a routrance on the part of the farmers against the Manchester cotton manufacturers. (Vociferous cheering.) Now, mark my words—l will stand by them ; and, if there be a penalty attached to them, on my head let it fall. I recommend ythi and all Englishmen to abstain from dealing in a - single ounce of their blood-stained cotton goods." Mr. Ferrand was also present, and followed up the uoblekell's declamation with greatsusta. Sir Alexander Spearman, who retired on account of, ill health from the appointment of Assistant Secretary to the Treasury, and who has been recently actively em ployed on the committee on Custom-house expenditure, has been appointed Secretary and Comptroller. General to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, vacant by the demise of Sir Samuel Higham, Esq. SUNDAY POSTAL LABOUR.—Mr. Cardwell, Sir T. Rirch, W. Brown, A. Henry, L. Heyworth, Sir J. Walmsley, and T. Thorneley, voted with the government for the address to the Queen praying inquiry. Sir P. Egerton, J. Tollemache. Lord R. Grosvenor, Sir E. Buxton, B. D'lsraeli, W. E. Gladstone, T. Greene, G. C. Legh, Lord J. Manners, J. Masterman, G. F. Muntz, Colonel Sibthorp, R. Spooner, and J. S. Wortley, voted with Lord Ashley in favour of the present system continuing without inquiry, which is obviously needless. On Tuesday, Lord Ashley transmitted to Sir George Grey, for presentation to the Queen, more than one hundred and thirty loyal addresses (in addition to ninety seven previously sent in) from the postmasters, and their assistants, of provincial towns, expressing their gratitude to her Majesty for her gracious order, recently issued, whereby the rest of the Sabbath is for the first time granted to them. - A DISSENTER.—Ebenezer Elliott, the corn-law rhymer, was a violent Radical and anti-Churchman, yet he had an eye to the loaves and fishes, for two of his sons, Ebenzer and Edwin, are clergymen of the Established Church ! So much for the consistency of dissent. We know an in stance of a person in this county who is continually railing at the Church, but has contrived to get his son a living in the Church of England, and talks largely of " my son the clergyman," when he is not engaged in vilifying the doc trines and ceremonies of the church. Your conscientious Dissenter is remarkably fond of quartering on the enemy.— Shropshire Paper. THE LORD CHANCELLORSHIP.—Sir Thomas Wilde has been selected for the important office of Lord Chan cellor, and his appointment has been approved by her Majesty. It is understood, however, that Sir Thomas Wilde will only discharge the full duties of his office until the arrangements necessary for separating the func tions of the Chief Judge of the Chancery Court from those of the Speaker of the House of Lords and Chief Judge in Appeal are completed. Sir T. Wilde will then retain the political office—probably under the title of Lord Keeper, and the Presidency of the Chancery Courts will become a distinct appointment. It is under stood that Sir J. Jervis, the present Attorney-General, will succeed Sir T. Wilde as Chief Justice of the Com mon Pleas, and that Sir John Romilly will be appointed Attorney-General. It is confidently expected thet Mr. Cockburn will succeed Sir John Romilly as Solicitor- General. THE NEW CHANCELLOR.—The appointment of Sir Thomas Wilde to the Chancellorship is universally con demned. The Morning Herald, while objecting to it on various other grounds, among which the unfitness of the new Chancellor has the foremost place, considers it, moreover, as an indication that no separation between the political and the legal functions of the Chancellor is really intended. The Times can see no other test than that of " party services and party connection," by which both the chief appointment, and the inferior appointments connected with it, can be recommended to the country, and threatens Lord John Russell with the " burden" which is sure to fall with a " crushing weight of responsi bility" upon the minister, " whose sense of duty to his party is stronger than his sense of duty to the public." The Morning Chronicle " cannot resist a suspicion that when the transaction is thoroughly raked out, it will be found at bottom neither more nor less than a prodigious job." TRIFLING EXTRAORDINARY.—OnCe more Lord John Russell has postponed his Jew Bill from the 4th to the 18th of July. With whom is his Lordship trifling ? With Baron Rothschild. to whom he stands pledged to bring for ward a "Relief" Bill, the time being, fortunately for the Noble Premier, "not in the bond ?' Or with the House of Commons, before whom he des!res to vindicate his con sistency without placing his position in jeopardy ? Or with the House of Lords, whom he means to insult during the dog-days by asking them to reverse at twenty-four hours notice their solemn verdict of last ses sion ? Or, with the feelings and faith of the people, whose perseverance in petitioning against the measure he proposes to punish, and at the same time to wear out, by making it appear that after all the process of pe titioning was wholly superfluous ? Whatever may be the noble lord's intention in this new manoeuvre, certain it is that his Lordship's persuasion must be more powerful to convince than the " Hebrew persuasion" is, proverbially, ready to be convinced, if, he can make his Jew colleague believe that he is anxious to instal him by his side in the House of Commons. SUNDAY POSTAL LABOUR.—It has been said lately that public opinion on this subject is changing—the people have discovered their error. Where is the proof of this ? True, a few petitions are now dropping in, but of what sort let the 57th Report on Petitions, j us t delivered, inform us. Here are three petitions presented on the Ist of July : " Members of the Reform Association of the city of Exeter, adopted Et a general meeting of its mem bers. Signed on behalf of the meeting, R. J. Westlake, president of the association (Mr Locke) " Frances Sarah Barlee, of Duke's Bridge House, Bungay, in the county of Suffolk, widow (Mr Locke) " Inhabitantsof Hurworth-upon-Tees, Nesham, and the neighbourhood, in the county of Durham (Lord Harry Vane) 10 in all. The first is from a Radical Club, held at " the Pig and Whistle." The second is from—a widow. The third is from Hurworth-on-Tees and the neighbourhood, and boasts of eight signatures. Is this " the revulsion of public opinion ?" MIND THE REGISTER.—It has been often observed, and cannot be too often repeated, that the battle of the country must be fought in the Registration Courts. The period of the year having again come round when attention to the register is of vital importance the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION has done good service by putting forth a Tract, containing, in a condensed and intelligible form, such information as may enable persons entitled to a vote to prefer their claim at the time and in the form prescribed by law. We beg the particular attention of our readers to the following dates :—July 20th, last day for county voters to register, and for city and borough voters to pay rates and taxes due before the sth of January last.—July 31st, last day for commencing a fresh occupation (not bring freehold or copyhold) to give a vote on the next year's register.— August 4th and 11th, lists of country and borough voters affixed on church doors. Let every elector look after his own name.—August 25th, last day for making objections, or sending in claims for voters omitted on the register.— September Ist and Bth, list of objections and fresh claims affixed on church doors. Let every objector and claimant look after his case. _ _ _ LOUIS PHILIPPE AND THE NEW FRENCH REGIME.— The following is said to be a passagt of a letter from one who has intimate relations with thy, ex-Royal Family of France, addressed to a distinguished member of the National Assembly :—lt is perfectly true that Louis Philippe regards a fusion of the two branches as the only reasonable solution in France. The Duchess of Orleans is not favourable to the proposition ; but her opposition is by no means so great as some of your journals have pretended. In her conversations with the ex-King she is very careful not to say anything that could offend or annoy bin on this subject, and at times she appears to be convinced by his arguments; and so great is the influence of Louis Philippe over his family that it would not be as tonishing to see the Duchess of Orleans become a convert to his views. The most affectionate intercourse exists between the ex-King and his daughter-in-law • but he talks to her as he would to a man, and thus shows the reliance that he has in her judgment. His favourite—l ought almost say his pet—is the Duchess de Nemours. He appears absolutely to doat on her, and her devoted ness to him is delightful to witness. The Duke de Ne mours agrees fully with his father. As to the Prince de Joinville and the Duke d'Aumale, it is well known that they are not favourable to a fusion ; but if the King should carry his ideas on this point to the extent of lay ing his injunction upon them, be assured that it would be religiously obeyed. SIR ROBERT PEEL AS A FREE-TRADER.—At a very early period shrewd observers detected the progress of his mind in the direction of free trade, and we have heard it stated on high authority, that long before his principles were developed Mr. Huskisson predicted the great changes he would effect. On the occasion of a division upon one of Mr. Huskisson's motions, that celebrated man empha tically replied to one who was reproaching him for his dangerous principles, " You talk of me as a Free-trader; there is a young man (Mr. Peel) standing there, who, if he lives, will carry free trade to an extent that will asto nish you." During the Duke of Wellington's adminis tration there was an obvious preparation for great changes long before they were announced. The appointment of leading members of the opposition to offices of great trust, and some of them of great emolument, scandalised and perplexed the Tories. The office of lord-lieutenant was conferred, whilst Peel was home secretary, on determined Whigs ; and even Mr. Abercrom by' s consistent Liberalism was rewarded with a sinecure judicial appointment in Scotland, which, under an act of parliament, he exchanged for a pension of £2,000 a year. This tendency, on the part of Sir Robert, to favour Liberalism continued, and was manifested again in 1841, when, to the great disgust of the Protectionists, Mr. Lefevre was continued as speaker, although Mr. Goulburn desired the appointment. Sir Robert's whole life forbids us to charge him with dis honesty, but there was no doubt a gradual process of development going forward in his mind, which he felt it his duty to conceal, until it became more rapid at last, and ended with the destruction of all monopolies, inclu ding the repeal of the c o rn l a w s .—Record. MINISTERIAL SHUFFLING.—An indignant le tter in th ,, Times, from a cor r e s p on d en t signing himself " P. gives the following account of the ministerial manoeuvres, connected with Mr. Locke's motion, on Tuesday last t : h — e " The motion made by Mr. Locke with respect to regulation of the post was a motion concerted _wi e th and agreed upon by the ministers themselves. d Tdh, after very wording of the proposed motion was consideration and by agreement. The administration, considering the resolution of the house against Sunday labour in the post-office to have resulted from accident, and believing that a larg e majority of the house were desirous of rescinding a determination which did not fairly represent the opinions of the majority—the ministers, I say, w e re n aturally anxious to have the matter brought once more before the House of Commons, in order to take a vote upon it, a fter deliberate notice and solemn discussion. Mr. Locke gallantly undertook the task of submitting the question to the consideration of the house. That there should be no mistake about the matter, how ever, and to prevent any unnecessary division of opinion or clashing of 'particular views, the words of the motion, were carefully weighed, and deliberately adopted. Every body was given to understand that the peculiar phrase ology employed was approved, if riot suggested, by the ministers themselves. Ministerial circulars were sent round marked with the usual signs of official urgency, Jaly and sl" i tt Certain divisions were triply scored, to die 104 i; kl ministerial followers pressed otoardis..tg, The '; 4 0 consequence of the ministerial reIIPUI, by a le r/ ,, Z'' began, Mr. Locke supported his ni° tlu ta t ad_ . „ 6. 1 ?f perate yet effective array of argon:llo.ns air lki; when ever)body supposed that a _ioolittiello it about to be taken on the pre-arrallge`..', h is or: p h John Russell, without pressure 111 1" . is the i li ti k , without suggestion from his friends,,P _0000,,/ of the resolution by two-thirds. e opy . up " I noble lord were not slow toprofit hlre°;010 ttZ, generosity.
