prorrttings in Varliamtnt. HOUSE OF COMMONS-THURSDAY. Lord NLMERSTON said he felt that what had transpired in that house and elsewhere, upon the subject of the negocia' ions respecting the affairs of Greece, required, in justice to himself, and deference to the house, that he should enter into some explanation. The noble lord then referred to vvbat he bud stated on a former occasion in reference to the recall of the French ambassador, and his then expressed hope that there irrould be no misunderstanding of an important nature with the French government. The fact was, that he had placed in the hands of the French ambassador a number of dispatches calculated to alleviate, if not wholly remove the displeasure of Ills government immediately prior to his departure from Lon don ; and not being at all prepared for the premature disclo sures read by the French Minister to the chamber, he would mot lie justified in giving to the occurrence a more serious colouring than he bed done, for by so doing he would have Tendered matterastill more embarrassing to both governments. !The grounds upon which France had undertaken the office of mediator were perfectly understood. The demands of England mere not to be questioned. the principles on which they were made were to be admitted, and the friendly offices of France were to be directed to settling the amount of those demands. In the negociations, however, between Baron Gros and Mr. "Wyse, the former raised .questions having reference to the vrinciple of the demands, which Mr. Wyse said he had no Instructions to entertain. Baron Gros then said he had better apply to his government at home for fresh instructions, which lir. Wyse declined, being already in possession of positive instructions, and thereupon Baron Gros said his functions were suspended, and withdrew from further negociations until be bhould have received further instructions. Notwithstanding, Ibis, Mr. Wyse‘waited the full time which had been previously agreed upon, and even then addressed a proposition to Baron ,Gros, which unfortunately the Greek government would not accede to, and the result was such as they were all aware of. Ile thought the course pursued by Mr. Wyse was perfectly justifiable, and that the letter of General La Hitte had been written under an erroneous feeling which the documents he bad transmitted were calculated to remove. He much regretted the misunderstanding that had taken place, not having the slightest wish to slight the mediation proffered by France. He loped, however, that harmony would be speedily restored, and impressed on the house the necessity, in the course of the dis cussion, of abstaining from anything which could delay such a desirable termination of an occurrence which he sincerely regretted. fir J. WALSH said that the explanation -of the noble lord proved beyond all doubt that he had strained a point in the answers he'had given to the questions put to him on Thursday iweek . He condemned the whole policy of the noble lord, as calculated to embroil us with all the nations of Europe. French alliance had been the keystone of the arch of the ncble lord's policy, but now he had abstracted the keystone from the arch, and the alliance with France was as nearly severed as were our alliances with the other states of Europe. - T---. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. On the motion for the house resolving itself into a committee of supply, Mr: 13iimsroNE moved as an amendment for leave to bring in a bill to repeal so much of the act 3d and 4th Vict., c. 17, as imposes an additional duty of 10 per cent. on assessed and window taxes. This duty was laid on to make up a deficiency in the revenue, and now that they had a surplus it ought to be Immediately removed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQTJER resisted the motion on the ground that the finances of the country could not afford the loss of revenue which it would occasion ; but even if he were prepared to make reductions to a considerable extent, it would not certainly be in the assessed taxes, but rather in those taxes which pressed upon the great body of the people. Mr. BANK•ES said the right hon. gentleman had carefully avoided any allusion to the window tax, which stood upon grounds wholly different from the assessed taxes, Sir G. PECWELL hoped Mr. Blackstone would withdraw his motion, for those who would vote for the repeal of the window tax might not be willing to take the same course with the assessed taxes The house then divided, and the amendment was negatived by a majority of 130 to 65. - Mr. IT. Coe FIRANE then called attention to the foreign policy of the government, which he strongly condemned as having embroiled this country with foreign states, and having led to the revolutions in Italy. Lord PALMERSTON defended the policy which had been pur sued, and said Mr. Cochrane was wrong in his assumptions as to the revolutions in Italy resulting from the mission of Earl 31linto, who was to give his advice to such of those states only ss might solicit it. As a proof that these revolutions were not the result of the policy of the government of Great Britain, he would remind the house that the only country which had fol lowed the advice of Lord Minto was in a state of perfect tran quillity. C. HAMILTON asked if that advice was that Sardinia, the state referred to. should commit the aggression of which it lad been guilty against Austria ? Loan PALMERSTON absolutely denied that any such advice had been given by Lord Minto to Sardinia. The matter then dropped, and the house went into committee of "ripply on the miscellaneous estimates. The estimates relating to the new Houses of Parliament occu pied the attention of the house during the greater portion of the evening, and objections were made in no measured degree to the style, size, accommodations, &c., of the new House of Commons. Sir DE LACY EVANS moved, as an amendment to the vote for the decoration of the houses, that the estimate should be reduced by the sum of '1,050, proposed to be expended in the Peers' private refreshment-rooms, with pictures of the chase by Mr. Landseer. - A lengthened discussion ensued, terminating in a division, when the amendment was carried against the government by a inpjority of 94 to 75. The vote for the repairs of Maynooth College also led to some discussion, Colonel StBTHORP, in the absence of Mr. Spooner, laving moved its rejection. On a division, however, the vote was carried by a majority of 124 to 47. The Exchequer Bills bill (.e8.558,700) passed through corn =Mee' and was ordered to be reported on Monday next. Mr. DISRAELI said that no satisfactory explanation had been given, and remarked that the noble lord had made no reference whatever to the convention made in London with De Lhuys. He pointed out several omissions, particularly with regard to the part of Russia in these transactions. If there had been any political blunders, he contended that Lord J. Russell was responsible for them. He called on the ministry whose career had lately exhibited a series of diplomatic SCrtpeS to inform the house whether it had left an ally to us in —urope. - Lord J. RATSSELL said the speech of the hon. member proved the impropriety of debating the question until members had /tad the documents. The London Convention would be shown by the papers to have been an after thought of the French ambassador. The noble lord then proceeded to vindicate the sincerity of the explanations he had given on Friday last; that at that time he had not read the letter of M. de Lehitte, 2nd he only spoke from information derived from a despatch from Lord Normanby, assuming the possibility of all that had been done by the Foreign Secretary. No occasion of his official life had given him more pain than the present unbappy breach of cordiality with France; but ho efforts on his part should be wanting to restore amicable feeling. (Hear, hear.) The subject then dropped. Captain HARRIE called the attention of the government to the importance of abolishing impressment. The Stamp Duties (No. 2) Bill was read a second time. The house then went into committee on wood used for ship_ 'building, when Mr. MITCHELL'S resolution, that it is expedient that a draw back be allowed of all duties on such wood, was opposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Upon a division, the amendment was carried by 50 against 19, so that the resolution was lost. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. From the Sandwich Islands we have news to the middle - of March. Thus Sandwich Islands news is in England in two months from date. The port of Lahaini Maui was 'visited by a hurricane on the 15th of February, which did great damage to the shipping in the harbour, and de stroyed much property in the town. The schooner Mary was driven to sea in the early period of the storm, and she vas followed by the Sophia and two small schooners. During the night the Sophia capsized, drowning three of her crew and three or four natives who were on board. :33oth of the schooners—names unknown—were lost, the crew of one saved. One hundred houses were blown ,down or unroofed—the king's palace among the number. ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA. - (From our Second Edition of Tuesday last.) • , The Royal mail steamer Cambria, from New York, arrived in our river at a quarter past eight o'clock this morning, having made a fine run of 121 days, with head winds during nearly the whole of her passage. She brings 110 passengers, and dates from New York to the Sth instant. The Niagara had arrived at Halifax on the 7th, having made the passage across the Atlantic in less than ten days. Her advices. reporting an advance in cotton, and in American securities, provisions, &c., had been tele graphed to New York. The auxiliary screw steam-ship City of 'Glasgow, Capt. Matthews, arrived at New York on the 2nd instant, hav ing made the passage in 16 days and 21 hours. She ex perienced during four days very severe weather, with a high sea, and meeting with field ice she was detained (by having her course altered to the southward) about four teen hours. She performed admirably during the bad weather, and shipped no water. An address of thanks • and congratulation, signed by all the passengers, was pre sented to the captain. expressive of their confidence in the strength and capabilities of the ship and in the supe riority of her machinery. ' The 'United States steamer Washington from Bremen reached New York on the 4th. Our telegraphic news furnishes the latest commercial intelligence. The following extract from the New York Express, 'though, of melancholy import, ought to furnish a hint to the manufacturers of this country :- 44 We have a large number of strangers in the city, many of - them country merchants, who are purchasing liberally of our jobbers, and the stockof the latter are thus daily reduced ; but SO many domestic godds have accumulated in the market that they are afraid to replenish thoroughly, and sales fronLfirst lands are thus confined to.actual wants. In this state of things manufacturers are becomingalarmed, and a large mumber of Cotton Milliare either suspending or making short time." The establishments at Lowell have most of them given the usual 30 days' notice to their hands, and will close or only run six Jinni's at the expiration of.the time. The mills about Provi dence"and through. Connecticut have many of them come to the same determination, and south of us, the Patapsco, and other' arge establishments, near Baltimore, are adopting the same plan. There is no use in mincing matters—manufacturers. cannot go on attke present relative prices of the raw material and finished goods, without infringing upon their capital, and in this state of things the plan proposed is the o n l y rat i onal one. Some argue that the best course is to drop prices still lower, and thus let the goods go out of the market; but this is only putting off the evil day. Our export markets are limited,. and if they are broken down now, we must bid adieu to farther shipments for some time to come. For those who have little or sio floating capital. suspension of labor is almost equivalent to suspension of payments ' • but even this will be better in the end than producing to sell at a loss, which, with some rare excep tions, must be the case with all who have to purchase stock at present rates." • ONE MONTH LATER. FROM THE PACIFIC.—Tnree steamers—the Empire City, .the Georgia, and the Che rokee—arrived at New York on the 7th instant, bringing dates from Chagres to the 27th ultimo. They brought 3 00 passengers, and gold-dust (on freight and in passen gers'. hands) to the amount of 2,656,000 dollars, nearly • the whole of which was from California. The steam-ship • California arrived at Panama on the 23rd April, bringing dates from San Francisco to the Ist April. The steam ships Sarah Sands and Tennessee sailed from Acapulco 11th April for San Francisco. The former had gone up full of passengers. About 3,000 still remained upon the Isthmus, waiting their chance. The rainy season bad mot set in, and Chagres and Panama were still healthy. Many robberies were daily taking place at Panama and .4on.theisthrous. The collector of the customs at Cali fornia has received instructions to pay all sums received as duties to the State government, and steps were being aken in consequence to form an independent government. 4.1 d is Kited to be more plentiful than ever, but the 'complement of gold-dust to meet the tstimate of twenty five million dollars per annum 'Ws not been rece ived, and all said to be gold is not iv any means that metal. Prices for real estate, and merabandise of all kinds, was rapidly falling, and the 'revulsion had already com menced. Failures have commenced in California, and at New York a universal explosion among the speculators at San Francisco is confidently anticipated. which will prove very disastrous to the ports of the Atlantic. The enormous value of money at San Fran cisco, the extravagant prices for property of all kinds, gave indications of the approaching storm. Buildings, nut long since yielding thousands, now only return hun dreds, while many are vacated. Multitudes are still on their way there, and thousands of hale, hearty men, with tens of thousands of horses, mules, &c., are still passing through the state lowa. At the different starting points on the Missouri River there are said to be fifty thousand persons, and the crowd was hourly increasing. _ YELLOW FEVER AT THE BRAZILS.—The French Cor respondent of the New York Herald of the Bth, records the ravages of yellow fever in Brazil. At Rio, Para, and Bahia both natives and strangers bad fallen victims. Mr. Richard Ryan, English Consul, had been attacked by it, and died at Para on the 2nd of April. The Em peror himself had also been attacked ; but, at the latest dotes, was convalescent in the metropolis. The contagion bad extended to Rio Grande do Sul. Many members of the two chambers had fallen victims ; and the terror had been so great that many commercial houses had closed their stores. THREE DA YS LATER FROZI NEW YORK. (By Electric Telegraph.to Halifax) NEW YORK. MAY 10 The steamer Niagara arrived at Halifax on the ith inst., also the screw-steamer British Queen, from Hamburg. Since the Cambria left, we have Washington intelligence of more than usual interest. The Slavery Compromise Committee have presented their report; the manner in which it was received does not indicate a speedy adoption of its recommendation. In debate it was denounced, the specific points of hostility being the admission of Califor nia. Mr. Clay undertakes the defence of the report. The ultras of each side are arrayed against him. This subject engrosses Congress to the exclusion of all others. The bill admitting California to the Union, and recom mending governments for the territories, as reported by the committee, comes up immediately for consideration. The authenticity of the letter assigned to Mr. Bulwer, addressed to Mr. Chatfield, is said to be established. A steamer arrived - at Philadelphia supplies Rio Janeiro dates to the sth of April. The accounts of yellow-fever ravages are awful. Many vessels there have lost every soul on board, and there were not seamen to man half those in harbour ; and of 80 custom-house officers who remained on shipboard or on shore, death was eoually unsparing. In less than three months, 14,000 deaths had occurred ! The American Secretary of Legation died. Every English ship has suffered more or less. Vessels had put to sea with a new crew, and returned in a few days with only men enough to get the vessel back, fre quently bereaved of the captain and officers. Later news fiom Havanah announces the cholera as having prevailed there for three weeks. The number of deaths had increased to 60 daily. A collision of two Canadian steamers had occurred on Lake Erie. near Port Maitland, by which one, having on board a portion of the British 23d Regiment, was sunk in a few minutes in eight fathoms water. The surgeon, Dr. Grantham, and 24 soldiers, and 13 women and children are reported drowned. Th 6 Stock Market continues firm. Government and state securities in good demand. The Niagara's news can hardly be said to have affected cotton market. Sellers from the South represent the weather as more genial and favourable to growing crops. Flour Market is heavy, and in favour of buyers. Wheat in fair , demand, and firm. Indian Corn more active : 70,000 bushels mixed Southern brought 61 cents. Exchange 1091 to 110. MORE FROM RIO The Penguin, from Rio, arrived at Falmouth yesterday morning. When she left, the average number of deaths was 200 per day. Three passengers, the sailmaker, and steward's mate, died on the passage of yellow fever. Se veral vessels are waiting at Rio Janeiro, having lost their masters and crews. The English residents had not suffered to any great extent. Business generally was at a stand still, and dealers were afraid to venture down to the city. .s. NEW SOUTH WALES, We have accounts from Sydney to the end of January. The whole of the country on the north shore had been fearfully ravaged by bush fires which extended far inland, and destroyed much property ; several lives had been lost during the conflagration, and many narrowly escaped with their lives : several parties' losses will amount to total ruin. In the Maitland district also several bush fires had occurred, but the damage done was less considerable. The colonial revenue was in a most satisfactory state, the in crease in the last quarter of the year, compared with the corresponding quarter in the previous year, having been upwards of twenty per cent. Such was the abundance of the late harvest that wheat was selling at 2s. 6d. to 3s. per bushel. Some fears were at one time entertained of the coming crop, in consequence of the parching heats by day and sharp frosts during the night, but these have been dispelled, and the low rates for wheat continued with little or no prospect of an advance. The out-turn of wool also promises favourably ; one gentleman at Darling Downs had sold the whole of his wool of the season's clip to a mercantile firm at Sydney at ls. 31-d. per lb. We regret to notice that sickness prevailed to a very great extent amongst all classes of the inhabitants ; in character the disease closely resembles the cholera, pro bably caused by the great alterations of temperature which threatened the standing crops. A seam of coal of greater thickness than has been heretofore worked, has been dis covered at Newcastle, where the Australian agricultural company were sinking a pit about two miles distant from their wharf at Newcastle. VAN DIEMEN'S LAND Hobart Town papers to the 25th of January have come to hand. Further coal discoveries are announced. Some ice-houses had been erected on the top of Mount Wel lington, at an elevation of 3973 feet, to the summit of which a good horse path had been constructed. Mr. Ar nold, a near relative of the celebrated Dr. Arnold, had arrived in the colony as inspector of schools. The open ing of the High School was celebrated by an entertain ment, at which h s Excellency and Lady Denison were present. NEW ZEALAND There are accounts from this colony to the middle of December. A great demand was springing up for New Zealand flax, which had induced parties to engage freely in the culture. The settlement, at length, of the claims of the Welsen purchasers on the New Zealand Company for land, had caused a general feeling of satisfaction and confidence amongst the colonists, by putting an end to the conflict which has lasted for several years. Crime appears to be scarcely known among the blacks ; at a late sessions there were but two cases for trial. Sir Geo. Grey, the Governor-in-Chief, left Auckland on the sth of December, on a tour to the interior of the province, which would occupy, it was supposed, about two months. The Lieutenant-Governor, Mr. Eyre, while visiting the interior, had a narrow escape from most imminent peril, his native guide, but a few feet in advance, being preri pitated down a snowy precipice to the depth of 1,500 feet. THE BRAZILS The Swordfish, Captain Greene, which sailed from Per nambuco on the 15th ult., has arrived in the Mersey. There is not any political intelligence. The fever was still raging, but with less violence than before. Business was very dull. The Serafin, Gilhing, from Maceio and Pernambuco, will probably bring a week's later news. Passed the Great Ormshead at half-past six yesterday morning. SPAIN The Madrid journals of the 19th inst. have reached us, together with our usual correspondence. Reports of a Carlist movement were becoming more current in Madrid. It was said that at the period of the Queen's accouchement a general rising would take place throughout the kingdom. A decided increase in the revenue derived from the Post-office had taken place since the system of the pre payment of letters by postage stamps had been carried into effect. Hertz, the pianist, arrived at San Francisco, a few days before April 1, and announced a concert. The country in the neighbourhood of Dombasle, in the department of the Meurthe, France, was covered with a heavy fall of snow on Friday week.

Mr. Smith O'Brien is receiving more lenient treatment in Van Dieman's land;. and Mr. O'Donohue has started a newspaper, which promises to yield him a decent support. _ _ A: clandestine manufactory of gunpowder vered in Montpellier on the 17th instant. of gunpowder was seized, as also some sacks saltpetre, and charcoal. Thei:e is a report current in New York that Captain Warner is about settling in that country, having made arrangements with the American Government for the purchase of the long range and invisible shell. The magnificent incense burner sent as a present from the clergy of France to the Pope on his restoration to the Papal throne, is one of the finest piecei of workmanship even displayed. It is of solid gold, adorned with carbun cles of extraordinary size. The Earl of Durham is at present in the United States, and was at the President's reception, at Washington, on the 3rd inst., leaning on the arm of the British Minister He was much stared at, of course, and was particularly noticed for his simple and unobtrusive manners. About 40 sulphur, The mail steamer Clyde,.Captain Moss, has arrived with the usual West Indian and Mexican mails.

MADEIRA. We are favoured by Mr. Driver, with advices from Ma deira to the 7th instant, brought by the packet brig Brilliant, which vessel arrived at Southampton on Satur day last, with upwards of sixty passengers. When the Brilliant left it -had been blowing a perfect gale from the west, for the last four or five days, accom panied with heavy rain, which was doing considerable damage to the grapes. The authorities in Madeira had memorialised the govern ment at Lisbon, to be allowed to cultivate tobacco, which plant grows remarkably well on the island, and great excitement prevailed amongst the farmers to learn the result, which, if granted, would no doubt restore the island to prosperity. His Imperial Highness,- the Duke de Leutchenburgh, embarked in the Russian frigate Pallas, on the 23rd ult., for Gibraltar, very much improved in health, by his resi dence on the island. He has made himself very popular in Madeira, and in addition to £lOO given to the poor of Funchal, has made many other charitable bequests in various parts of the island. Her late Majesty, the Queen Dowager Adelaide, be queathed to the civil governor of Madeira a handsome niece of plate, bearing the following inscription : _ Presented to His Excellency Senhor JOZE SILVESTRE RIBEIRO H. M. F. Majesty's Councellor And Civil Governor 'Of the Province of Madeira, In grateful recollection Of his civility and kind attention During her residence In Madeira, Sir G. Douglas arrived on the 16th April from the. Ca naries, inhis yacht Ariel, and proceeded on the 19th to Barbadoes. Letters from Marseilles of the22nd inst. state that the utmost precautions ,were taken there on the night pre vious to protect the shipping, which, it had been dis covered, had been menaced with conflagration by the conspirators. The following edifying information is contained in the Paris Patrie :—A miraculous girdle, which had been worn by the Virgin, and which is one of the precious relics of the Cathedral of Tortosa, has been sent up to Madrid, to be placed near her Majesty in•her approaching accouche ment. It is for the present deposited on the altar of the Chapel Royal.—They ought to have sent to Rome for the .Bambino-- au ugly image designed as the representation of the infant Jesus, and which, transported in a splendid carriage from house to house on occasions of this kind, brings " no small gain" to the amity monks who have the custody of it. TELEGRAPH BETWEEN ENGLAND AND RIISSIA.—The Emperor of Russia has decided on placing St. Petersburgh in telegraphic communication with Vienna and Berlin, by means of the electric telegraph, which will also pass through Warsaw and Posen. The wires are now being laid down between Berlin and St. Petersburgh, and St. Petersburgh and the Black Sea. When the continuous line of wire, an important part of which is now being sunk submarinely between Dover and Calais, is coriipleted in connection with the Continent, a person in London may hold almost instant communication with another in Russia. The Peninsular mail arrived at Southampton an Friday, bringing intelligence from Lisbon to the 19th instant. Our Admiralty agent had been arrested on his landing at Cadiz with the mails, for having refused to deliver them up to a stranger who had gone on board and de manded them on behalf of the Spanish government. The British officer was sent to the guard-room, searched, and his sword taken from him. By the interposition of the gentleman acting for the English consul, he was ordered to be released, when his sword was returned, and he was set at liberty, having been confined two hours and a half. He then went to the consulate, and shortly afterwards sailed for Gibraltar. Here, it is observed, is a direct insult to the British nation. INTERNAL CONDITION OF FRANCE.—Of the domestic prospects of France the Times augurs favourably, on the ground that " the resolution shown by the gcvernment at home, and the spirit shown by them abroad, have ma terially increased their chances of security and duration." The Standard, after stating that the quarrel with England has caused a diversion in favour of the opponents of Socialism, observes that " the domestic prospects of the government of France are sufficiently gloomy to dispose I unscrupulous and desperate men to escape from them even by flying to a foreign war. The old disease remains in full vigour—Paris still governs France ; and until Paris shall be deposed from that tyranny by the iron despotism of an individual, France will be a place of torture to her people, and the common plague of Europe." MONSTER HAILsToNEi.--4he following extract from a letter is published by the Bombay Telegraph:—" I just write these few lines to inform you that on Sunday last, between the hours of four and five o'clock,:atremendous fall of hail occurred at the village called Condwul, about six miles from Sattara. The hailstones are described as being as large as cocoa nuts. Several houses fell, cattle were slain, and several people were killed by the houses falling in. Many large fish were killed in the river also. The natives declare they have never seen such hail in their lives. I am within the mark when I say they were as large as cocoa nuts ; they have been described as much larger. In camp we had merely a tremendous dust-storm, but for several hours the sides of the hill were white with the hail, like snow in appearance." THE FAILURE OF THE COTTON CROP.The appre hended failure of the cotton crop in America, fills the Times with serious apprehension, and leads it to discuss the propriety of measures for growing cotton in India, as the only quarter from which we may hope to obtain a. permanent and sufficient supply of an article which " we must have." The Globe fears that the best devised measures can result only in a slow increase of the supply from India, and suggests that the West Indians might be induced to plant their deserted sugar estates with cotton, The Standard replies to the dictum of the Times, that " cotton we must have," by " Richelieu's answer to the libeller, who said, faut vivere," Je ne vois pas la necessity,' said the Cardinal. As cotton was not certainly indispensable to our ancestors 100 years ago, who scarcely knew its use, we cannot conceive it now to be a thing of absolute necessity." A TRAGEDY IN THE AUSTRIAN MILITARY SERVICE. —A letter, dated Vienna, May 18, says, " A mysterious tumult took place a few days ago in the garrison of the newly-recruited Honveds, which parties interested are endeavouring to hush up. A young Hungarian noble man, (Honed,) who had been refused permission by his captain to go to a coffee-house, unable to resist the solici tations of some corporal, who promised to be responsible for this petty insubordination, quitted the barracks. The captain, upon hearing this, gave orders that the young nobleman should be flogged upon his return. All the corporals of the battalions refused to raise their hands to carry out the sentence, and a corporal of. the Hayman Regiment of Infantry was summoned from another bar rack, and commenced putting the sentence into execu tion ; but he had inflicted only a few blows when the young nobleman sank down in a fit of apoplexy. In one moment all the Honveds rushed upon the captain and put him to death. On the same evening the entire troop was disbanded." WESTERN AUSTRALIA.—Perth and Fremantle journals have come to hand to the end of January. Some fine country had been discovered in the neighbourhood of the Geraldine silver lead mine. From the published accounts of the Deputy Surveyor General and Lieut. Elliot, H.M.'s 96th Regiment, there was an abundance of water, as well as food for smelting purposes. The natives in the neighbourhood are a fine race of men, cannibals, eating dead bodies of Maids or foes, no matter whether killed or dying from disease. Lieut. Helpman, R.N., who was the first of the party to land, found these natives some. what hostile, but soon after they became friendly ; they acknowledged to have formed a portion of those who attacked the governor some months previously, and ex pressed their sorrow for it, offering to bring in the man who threw the spear at the governor, and they also stated that two men and one woman of their party were killed, whom they ate, as is their usual custom. Writing on this latter subject, Lieut. Elliott, then on the spot, re marks :—" The natives in these districts eat their dead— old men, women, and children. The heart is given to the mother, as they say it assuages her grief. They hollow out the ground and make a kind of oven in which they bake the body, and after eating it they throw the bones into the hole and cover them over, which accounts fOr no graves being seen." HORSES DISSENTING FROM THE POPE.—Last week the Pope was good•enough to bless the whole world from the balcony of the Church of St. John Lateran. The Times correspondent, describing the scene, says :—" Next came a pause, as if to give time for, a solemn prayer before the benediction itself was pronounced ; and then up rose the pontiff, and extending his arms, held his open palms over the heads of the multitude, and pro nounced the solemn benediction. The people knelt in pious submission at his feet, and as the last words were uttered each of the faithful made the sign of the cross, and each, I hope, rose up a better man. The solemnity of the scene was fora minute disturbed by all the horses, even of the Pope and cardinals, taking a fancy to join in an universal fit of neighing whilst their masters were wrapt in prayer ; but they were soon restored to order, and the serious character of the scene was not again affected." The usual distribution of indulgences (says the Daily News) took place after the blessing, and was attended by the usual scramble, although a far different result awaited the two Papal bulls and their enormous that of preceding years. The expectant coun below the balcony, who had been enduring a fearful squeeze for some time previous in the hope of seing in a good situation to catch one of the indulgence 3ulls, were cheated out of their just expectations by the gustiness of the weather, and the wind most provokingly carried away the first document just out of the reach of their straining fingers towards a party of French soldiers, by whom it was immediately snapped up. The second underwent the same fate ; and a French grenadier, very red from the struggle, crammed it into his shako, as the safest depot he possessed. A chasseur d' Orleans, one of the unsuccessful scramblers, inquired confidentially the nature of the bulls—" Qu'est ce qua c'est done que ces papiers la ?" " Mais (replied I), ce sont des indulgences." Ah, bah !" exclaimed he, in turning away, and con soling himself with a most expressive shrug for not having borne off the prize instead of his stouter competitor. OUTRAGE AT ROME.—INTOLERANCE OF POPERY.— The P seals tl trvmen nan correspondent of the Times writing from that city on the 18th inst. says :—A visit paid last night private house of a very respectable man by the shows that the spirit of mischief, at least, is not I allude to the violation of the domicile of M.

Ercole's family ' allege : to do their duty in the most violent and offereive manner. The violence ceased on the arrival of a superior magistrate; but he nevertheless fulfilled his task with equal rigour, and on being furnished with his keys by the master of the house proceeded to open all the drawers and examine his papers and books. Nothing fortunately was found to implicate M. Ercole, and the only book seized on was the Life of Bea. trice de Cenci. The search lasted till five this morning, at which hour the magistrate and the police withdrew, after making many apologies to the family, and expressing the regret they felt at being obliged to perform so disa greeable a duty. It would appear from several questions put' during the investigation, that M. Ercole was more suspected of harbouring Protestant Bibles and New Tes taments than political papers—but he and his family are strict Roman Catholics, and, happily for them, the only Bible they had was that in common use here, licensed by the church. It must 'be admitted that M. Ercole is a Roman subject, and possibly, however harsh the conduct of the police may have been, it for that reason is not ille gal; but some respect ought to have been shown to his position under the English government, and the acting Chancellor of the Consulate, having the British arms on his private door, is entitled to consideration. Ignorance cannot be pleaded for this violent conduct, as on all occa sions for many years, during Lord Aberdeen's as well as Lord Palmerston's time, whenever Mr. Freeborn obtained leave of absence M. Ercole acted as his representative in the bank and as consular agent, and I know that the fact was officially notified to the government since the acces sion of Pio Nono. There is not a more inoffensive person than M. Ercole, and I am sure that every English gen tleman who has transacted business at the consulate will confirm what I say. I have no doubt that the attack, though it fell on the deputy, was intended for the princi pal; and that the Papal government, always suspecting the leaning of Mr. Freeborn to be unfavourable to it, imagined that papers which might compromise him could be placed beyond suspicion or seareh in the house of the vice-consul. Whatever may be the cause of the proceed ing, the manner in which the domiciliary visit was effected is most reprehensible ; and, as far as I can see, Mr. Free born has just right to complain. IRELAND. The Belfast Presbyterian Synod have adopted almost unanimously a petition in favour of " tenant right." On Tuesday a man of the name of James M`Keowin, residing in Nenagh, caught a young robin which has four legs ! .The Queen has appointed the Hon. and Rev. Robert Plunket, Archdeacon of Killala, to the deanery of Tuam, vacant by the death of the late Dean Carter. On Saturday, a violent storm, accompanied by rain, hail, thunder, and lightning, visited a considerable portion of Tipperary and Limerick. Lord Gough arrived at Derry on Wednesday. The apprentice boys welcomed his arrival by firing numerous rounds of cannon from the city ramparts. A splendid banquet took place on Thursday evening. _ ACcording io the Limerick Chronicle, mortality and emigration have so thinned the ranks of the Roman Catholic priests in that diocese, that the Bishop (Dr. Ryan) has not a clergyman to fill a vacant curacy at Bruff. REVERSE OF FORTUNE.—A gentleman rf highly re spectable family and connexions, the owner in fee of dif ferent estates not many miles from Newp3rt, in Tippe rary, and which realised until very recently a rental of over 13,000 a-year, died within the last few weeks a recipient of in-door relief within one of the Dublin workhouses. THE EARLDOM OF Roscommox.—ln reference to this barren title—for there is no property attached to it— the Dublin Evening Mail says the rightful claimant en listed as a private soldier, and went with his regiment to America, where he is now residing. He is the son of the late Mr. F. Stephen Dillon, who opposed the claim of the late earl before the House of Lords, in 1828, and who died some time afterwards in very embarrassed circum stances. DREADFUL MURDER.—On Thursday, Robert Lindsay Mauleverer, of Mahera, county Derry, was employed in giving each tenant a plot of bog, free, and had just tran sacted tall his business in time to go by the train that passes Colville, at one o'clock, p.m. He left the hotel at Crossmaglen on a car for the Colville station; and in less than half an hour the car returned with the melan choly intelligence that he had been brutally murdered. The driver states that he was shot from behind a hedge, but that cannot be true, there being only a low stone fence at the place ; and from the circumstance' of his head being greatly fractured, it seems more probable that he was murdered with a spade, or some such instrument. The unfortunate gentleman was highly respected ; he was a magistrate for the county Derry, and was exten sively employed as a land agent. The sole object of this great crime appears to have been the gratification of re venge, as there was a considerable sum of money found on his person.—Dublin Mail.—LThe Belfast Whig accounts for the discrepancy as to the cause of death by reporting that, after the unfortunate gentleman was shot dead, the country people, instead of seizing the assassin, showed their diabolical feeling by striking the body with their spades.] SCENE AT A MEETING.—At A - meeting of the proprie tors of the Hibernian Bank, held in Dublin, on Monday, a very civilized " row" arose. An amendment was moved by Mr. Reynolds, M.P., the lord mayor, to a motion originating with the directors; and whilst the votes were being taken, this gentleman, as usual, insisted on being conspicuous. The report is as follows: —The:Lord Mayor called on Alderman Sir T. O'Brien who stood :near the tellers; not to be interfering with the voting. It was great presumption in him to do so. Who cared about his money ?—Mr. P. O'Brien, jun. : That is nice gentlemanly conduct on the part of the head of the Corporation.—Near the close of the polling, the Lord Mayor, addressing Alderman M'Kenna (who was standing behind the chair of one of the tellers), said: Go away out of that, sir : you have no right to be there.—Alderman M'Kenna: Sir, you are very impertinent to speak to me in that manner. You are a foul-mouthed ruffian.—The Lord Mayor.: You have no right to be standing there. You are interfering with the voting of the people ; go out of that.—Alderman M'Ketina : I will do no such thing, You are a most im pertinent ruffian.—Lord Mayor: May I ask you, Mr., Chairman, to prevent this fellow from creating disorder in the meeting ? (To Alderman M'Kenna): You have no right to be there, sir.—Alderman M'Kenna: 1 have a better right to be here than you.—Lord Mayor : You are a foul-mouthed fellow, but you have no right to interfere with the voting.—l wont suffer :you to browbeat me.— Lord Mayor : Put that person out. Go out of that, sir. ;--Alderman M'Kenna : I will not.—Lord Mayor: Who cares about your foul-mouthed language? I implore you, Mr. Moylan, to keep order and prevent this person from interfering with the voters (hear, hear).—Eventually Mr. Reynolds carried his amendment. HIGHLY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. The Daily News of Saturday informs us that " On Thursday evening a tea party was held at the King's Head Tavern, in the Poultry, to which several gentlemen from various parts of London and its vicinity were invited, to meet Sir Joshua TValmsley, M.P., the president, and the council of the National Reform Association, for the purpose of conferring on the best means of organising the reformers residing in the metropolis and the surrounding districts, and of carrying into effect the resolutions of the National Reform Conference." To what extent the worthy knight enlightened the " se veral gentlemen from various parts of London and its vi cinity" we are not informed ; but our contemporary states that " the utmost unanimity and determination prevailed during the sitting," the tea-drinkers, it is to be presumed, finishing an extraordinary number - of cups in token of their earnestness. We are a little astonished that Sir Joshua does not come out a little more in his proper sphere—the House of Commons. He is hiding his lamp by exhibiting only at tea-drinkings in obscure corners.

CRICKET MATCHES.—A match between the Liverpool and Manchester clubs came off on Monday last, on the ground of the former. It was a drawn one, as the Man chester gentlemen could not remain to finish it. Th match between eleven of England and eighteen of Ox fordshire occupied three days, and was declared against the eleven by 187 runs. A person picking up .500 stones, a yard apart, and placing them separately in a basket, one yard from the first stone, walks 152 miles 580 yards. In performing a similar feat with 300 stones, the distance tr3versed is 51 miles 540 yards. _ _ _ preliminaries have been arranged for a t natch be tween the Liverpool Olympus and the Preston Cricket Clubs, on Thursday, the 25th June, on .the ground of the former ; at Prjnce'-park. The choler LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, MAY 22. THE AGAPEMONE. THOMAS V. ROBERTS.—This is not a case of taking an infant from its father; but the case of a father who, hav ing abandoned the mother of his child before its birth, seeks to obtain possession of the child, against which attempt the next friend of the infant asks the aid of the Court of Chancery. Judgment was reserved last term, which was now delivered. His Honor (Sir J. K. Bruce) denounced the Agapemone and all in it in the most severe terms, and said—" God forbid that I should be accessary to condemning any child to such a state of probable debasement As lief would I have on my conscience the consigning this boy to a camp of gipsies." He declared that the mother was to have the care of the child. who was to be kept from the father. Of the latter the Vice- Chancellor spoke in most severe terms, for having got possession of his wife's money, abandoning her, and now living in a state of heathenism. .The Queen has appointed the Attorney-General, S. Martin, Esq., W. H. Walton, Esq., G. W. Bramwell, Esq , and J. S. Willes, Esq., barristers-at-law, to be her Majesty's Commissioners for inquiring into the process, practice, and system of pleading in the superior Courts of Law at Westminster and on circuit. RESIGNATION OF THE LORD CHANCELLOR.—We be lieve we may announce as a fact that the Lord Chan cellor has at length actually resigned his high office. His Lordship has, we understand, been urged to this step both by the recommendation of his physicians and the entreaties of his family, and by a regard for the public inconvenience occasioned by his continued absence from the Court of Chancery. RAILWAY AFFAIRS. The rumour has again been revived that the extension of the Furness railway, through Ulverston, to join the Lancaster and Carlisle railway near Carnforth, will be brought forward in the ensuing session of parliament. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY,—THE FORTHCOMING DIVIDEND.--We learn, from competent authority, that this company will be able to pay a five per cent. dividend for the present half-year ' and carry over a balance of upwards of £140,060 to the December or better half-year's traffic receipts. The balance carried forward from the Jude account of last venr was £15,000 only.—Railway Record_ VALIDITY OF RAILWAY PREFERENCE SHARES.— We are informed that doubts of a very serious nature ex ist as to the validity of the preference shares of many companies. Eminent legal authorities have been con sulted, and it is stated that the great majority of opinions are unfavourable to this class of securities. According to this view of the case, not only have preference divi dends been illegally bestowed, but the holders of such shares have no claims on the companies for a restitutien of their money. This is a question of great importance, and which demands immediate solution.—Globe. THE BRITANNIA BRIDGE.—The operation of turning the third tube round, by a semicircular sweep over the water on its four pontoons, assisted by large cable chains and a huge upright beam attached to the shore, which formed the fulcrum or centre of motion on which it was swayed round, took place with success on Thursday even ing last, under the superintendence of Mr. Stephenson, M.P., and Captain Claxton. Its journey to the bearing point, from whence it will have to be floated to the foot of the piers on the 10th of June next, occupied about 40 minutes, the distance traversed being about equal to its own length. COURT AND FASHION. On Tuesday the ceremony of churching the Queen was performed in the private chapel at Buckingham Palace by the Hon. and Rev. Gerald Wellesley, her Majesty's do mestic chaplain. Prince Albert. and the Dowager Lady LyttletOn were present. The Duchess of Kent visited the Queen at Osborne on Wednesday. The Queen and Prince Albert, with the younger mem bers of their family, left town on Wednesday for the Isle of Wight, where they arrived at five o'clock. The Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury's infant daughter was baptized at the private chapel at Hatfield house on Saturday forenoon, on which occasion the Duke of Wellington and a large family circle were present. The ex-King and Queen of the French, the Queen of the Belgians, Prince and Princess Joinville, the Duke and Duchess de Nemours, the Duke and Duchess D'Aumale, and suite.. arrived at St. Leon!ird's : on : Seaon Wednesday. The following statement of her Majesty's family may be interesting to some of our readers :—The Queen was born May 24, 1819 ; married to Prince Albert, Feb. 10, 1840. —l. Victoria Adelaide, Princess Royal, born Nov. 21, 1840; 2. Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, born Nov. 9, 1841; 3. Alice Maude Mary, born April, 25, 1843; 4. Alfred Earnest Albert, born August 6, 1844; 5. Helena Augusta. born May 25, 1846; 6. Louisa C. Alberta, born March 18, 1848 ; 7. Arthur, born May-day, 1850. POLITICAL MISCELLANY. On Thursday, Sir T. Birch, Mr. Cardwell, and Mr. Thornely voted in the minority in favour of a drawback on all wood imported for the purpose of shipbuilding. A son of the Naples correspondent of the Times has been appointed to a diplomatic (post in the service of the King of Naples. Government were again defeated on Friday night by a majority of 19, an a motion for £lOOO to decorate too expensively one of the rooms of the new House of Lords. Mr. Miles has given notice of a motion in the House of Commons, to the effect that the government, in con cert with the hoards of guardians, should take steps to promote the emigration to Australia, as apprentices, of orphan girls who are at present inmates of the several workhouses. Mr. Wakley has addressed a, letter to the electors of Finsbury, expressing his willingness to resign his seat. in consequence of being unable to attend to his parlia mentary duties through illness. He wishes, however, to retain his seat during the present session of parliament, the end of which, he says, is rapidly approaching. . - THE FACTORY BILL. - --The advocates of a ten-hours law in Bradford still remain firm to their demand for a limitation of the hours of factory work to the space, daily and weekly, which parliament sanctioned three years ago ; and they have determined to support Lord John Manners in his attempt to secure this object. In other respects they approve, as we think wisely, the frame-work of the government bill. MR. DISRAELI ON THE lIINISTRY.—GiVO us a Chan cellor of the Exchequer who would only break down four times before Easter in his budget, and we might form an administration (cheers). Give us a practical man like that, and even the defunct tory party might again exist. Give us a practical secretary for the colonies, who finds only three insurrections in her Majesty's dominions at the same moment—with such a practical secretary of state we could do wonders. (Cheers and laughter.) But, above all, give us a practical man far our secretary of state for foreign affairs ; let him deprive our Sovereign of all her allies—with such a practical man we might even form a ministry. (Loud cheers and laughter.) THE HEIGHT OF IMPUDENCE !—Mr. Ferrand, at the important meeting at Goole, after urging on the agricul turists the importance of a wool league, referred to the critical state of the cotton interest, and the consequent efforts of the master manufacturers, in the following terms :—" But of all the audacious impudence ever prac tised by an Englishman in broad daylight, Mr. Bright has been guilty of the most. (Laughter.) Would you believe it, farmers, this man, who would cram free trade down our throats with no lternative, who is the representative of the free trade system, has literally gone ' whining' to parliament for protection ? (A burst of laughter.) On the 4th of May, I believe, Mr. Bright moved, in the House of Commons, ' that the petition of the President of the Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures at Man chester, for inquiry into the present state of the cotton trade, presented on the 2nd of May, be printed with the votes.' That is, that the petition and votes were to be printed and circulated amongst the members, in order that they might hear what the Manchester cotton lords wanted; and you shall hear. (Laughter.) `Mr. Bright gave notice that, on an early day, lie would move an ad dress to her Majesty to appoint a commission to proceed to India to inquire into the obstructions which prevented the increased growth of cotton in that country.' I call that the height of impudence. (Much laughter.) Upon my honour. Mr. Chairman, when I first read it I could seemly believe it, that Cobden should tell us, in January, that it we uaree to attempt to get back a shilling of pro tection, we should compound for our existence, and that in May we should have Bright going whining to parlia ment for protection. Protection we demand, and, by God's help, protection we will have. (Tremendous cheer ing.) The farmers of England are loyal to a man. (Loud cheers.) They stand between the Queen and Manchester —between a monarchy and a republic." (Vociferous and protracted cheering.) MR. GILMOUR AGAIN. [The. following letter will, at all events, serve to amuse our readers.].

The total number of competitors was three thousand eight hundred. The delivery, by one morning's post alone, amounted to one thousand six hundred and eighteen letters. Among the competitors were clergymen and ministers of all deno minatiGns, officers in her Majesty's service, doctors of di vinity, law, and physic. surgeons, solicitors, professors, tradesmen, and a large number of ladies. Three hun dred and twelve persons have been declared to be success ful, and have received a second enigma for further compe tition.. Of these 312 persons, 170 are gentlemen, and 142 ladies.
