'We stop the press to announce the Sub-T re asu r y Bill h as just been rejected in the House of Representatives by a vote of 125 to 111. Laus Deo. We u nderstand, however, that one of the minority will mo ve to-day a reconsideration of the vote—vain though it will be. (From the New York Daily Whig of June 28.) Mr. Foster, of New York, rose and moved a reconsidera tion of the Sub-Treasury Bill. Sherrod Williams moved the previous question. Motion lost, 21 t o 102, so that the house • `_ _ •7 (From the New York Daily Whig.) We are called upon this morning, says the Rochester Democrat of the 23d current, to communicate the important fact, that Lord DUrham has been recalled by the Home Government ! The causes which have led to this very sudden and important movement are given below:— "Toronto, June 21, 18.38. " Mr. Dawson,—Dear Sir, I hasten to tell you of an im portant change .which has taken place in our distracted government. This is an unexpected recall of Lord Durham. The circumstances are whispered here, having arrived last night by a dispatch, although probably on account of the expressed wishes of the government, they have nut been pub lished in any of the Lower Canada papers. " A great many years sitli,e, an ancestor of the present Selkirk family received from the British government a grant of the present Canadian provinces, with a considerable por tion of what is at present the United States. Among other privileges granted by this charter was that of being perpetual governors—the fatal consequences of which were dot con sidered at that time, when the country was mere hunting government, that they have been obliged to recall our despot, and no future governor can be appointed without the con currence of Lord Selkirk. "This is all the information the government bas allowed to become public, and this is merely whispered among a few. "His lordship does not sail, it is believed, for a month or six weeks. He is said to have been excessively enraged, at the reception of the intimation of his recall.". (From the New York Evening Star of June 30. THE PATRIOTS TOTALLY DEFEATED.—The Bujitlo Ad vertiser, of Tuesday afteruoon, furnishes the following, which, if true, as it propably is, will terminate the disturbances which have been created iu that quarter. It is, however, most probably exaggerated: — Accounts have been received this morning, from Canada, of the entire defeat of the insurgent force in the neighbour hood of the Short Hills, yesterday, and the capture of their standards and ringleaders. A large body of troops, and 600 Indian warriors. bad been previously collected in their rear, and gradually hemmed them in. It is said that there are many Americans among the prisoners, who will most pro bably be tried by a field court martial and be executed forth with. All communication across the river has been sus pended, and the boats drawn up to prevent the•escape of any parties still lurking in the woods." We learn from Samuel Heron, Esq., editor of the Dundas United States Gazette, who came over in the Traveller yes terday morning, that the Patriots left the Short Hills on Saturday night, and moved towards Grand River. The in telligence reach Hamilton on Sdnday, and INl`.Nab was im mediately ordered out witu the 3d refit. to meet and attack the Patriots at Short Tavern, about 14 miles from Hamilton, on the Grand River-road. It was supposed by many that the Patriots would reach this point before the Royalist troops. (From the St. Catherine's Journal (Niagara district) of June 21.) SERIOUS TROUBLE, IN A NEW QUA RTE R.—For several days past this section of the province has been teeming w,th rumours of the concentration and movements of the " Patriots," in various directions, not only along the frontier, but in the interior of the country—some of which were of such an exaggerated description, that we were, for a while, strongly inclined to treat the whole as existing only in the imagination of those with whom they originated. But recent events in the vicinity of the Short Hills, prove most conclu sively that we have Leen hitherto innocently resting in false security, on the brink of a volcano, now just ready to burst under our feet, and overwhelm us in one general ruin and dismay. In consequence of sundry unfavourable reports, and ill usage received by some of the most active Loyalists, from a few miserable loafers about St. John's, it had been deemed prudent by the authorities, a few days since, to station a de tachment of Major Magrath's lancers at that place. After this, all appeared quiet, until Thursday morning, when our villages were alarmed by the arrival of an express, (Mr. Zenas Fell,) at day break, from St. John's, bringing the astonishing inteliigence, that an organised gang, vari ously estimated at trout 50 to 100 desparate villains, well armed, had attacked the tavern occupied by Mr. John Otis terhout, where the lancers (only 10 men) %very quartered, about three o'clock that morning, and succeeded in capturing them, with all their equipments and horses, except one, and had made °IT to the nearest swamp, with their booty. It appears, however, that those brave volunteers, although assaulted in the 2d story, while asleep, in the dead howl• of the night . , totally imprepared for immediate resistance, did not yield without showing the most determined valour. They successfully repelled their assailants at the stairway; and the banditti finding the odds fearfully against them, in tiring through the windows, at last resorted to the expedient of setting fire to the building. On learning this, the lancers rushed out of the house, sword in hand, resolutely cutting and slashing on every side, among the motley group assem bled there; but were finally overpowered, taken prisoners, and conducted, with several others, a distance of two or three miles, and then discharged. Sixty-eight ball holes were counted in the ceiling of the room in which the horsemen lodged; but providentially, only one of those gal lant fellows was seriously injured in the affray. Three men are known to have been badly wounded among the assailants—one of whom being unable to walk, was ear tied away by Mr. Davis's team, Which they pressei into their service. In the meantime, as we have since learned, another squad of the same gang, entered the house of a farmer, in that neighbourhood, Mr. Overholt, and robbed him of 1000 dollars in specie. Immediately after the arrival of the above tidings, ex presses were sent off to head quarters; . and a strong party of volunteers, both horse and foot, mustered, on the spur of the moment, and set off, well armed, to the scene of this diabo lical outrage. In fact, the whole population of the country is in motiou—and- well it may be—for, while such a lawless and powerful banditti is roaming at large, no man is safe, any more than he would he in a howling wilderness, infested by hordes of :gild beasts of the most ravenous kind. • In•the course of the day they overhauled and captured five prisoners, two of whom were those wounded the night before, and one of the others was Samuel Chaundler, supposed to. be the principal leader of the gang. The latter was taken by Mr. Thomas Adams, of this•village, and secured through the assistance of Lieut. 11 eath,of the Lancers A sixth rene gade, named Kempt, was shot down, in attempting to escape, by one of the Lancers—the remainder of whom had instantly hurried to the relief of their companions in arms the moment they were apprised of the dastardly manner in which they had been attacked. The prisoners were escorted to Niagara gaol, under a strong guard, where they will, no doubt, soon meet a just and welt-merited reward for their crimes. FRlDAY.—Preparations for hunting down and extermina ting these mad-brained desperadoes, still continue. Three companies of British regulars, belonging to the 24th regiment, arrived at Queenston, from Toronto, on Wednesday, destined for the disturbed sections of the district. The high sheriff, with a number of magistrates and officers of the six-months volunteers, are in motion. Captain M'Donald's troop of cavalry, and a volunteer company of infantry, hastily collected iu this village and yicinity,,haye just gone out to reconnoitre. Reports are flowing in from all quarters, all the movements of the marauders—who appear to be divid!d into squads of some 30 or 40 men, each, and described as being a pour, rag ged, emaciated arvi haggard looking set of wretches, as were ever banded together—fit instruments, in the hands of wicked and designing individuals, and countenanced and supported by a few disaffected residents in different parts of the pro vince, to do much mischief, if not promptly put down by the strong arm of the law, and the united voice and exertions of every friend of his country. Six more prisoners were taken this day, after a sharp en gagement with one of those bands of robbers, during which two of the volunteers, under Jacob Keefer, Esq.; of Thorold, were slightly wounded in their cheeks. The loss among the brigands is not known, as the remainder precipitately lied to the woods, carrying off their dead and wounded, if they had any. SATURDAY.—It is stated this morning, that one of the lan cers is missing in an unaccountable manner—that his clothes have been found, with spots of blood upon them—that the mill-pond at St. John's have been drawn off, and other dili gent search made for the body, without success—and that there is too much reason to fear he has met foul play, at the hands of some of those prowling villains, now attempting to law waste the country. According to all accounts, we are induced to believe, that these petty bands of marauders are principally composed of the refugees, who :►are been hovering along the frontiers du ring the last six months, some of whom have made their way thus far into the interior unarmed, in pairs and sitig.lv, by the regular ferries; the others in small parties, with boats ob taiued from the other side, loaded with arms and ammunition, which have been returned. From Grand Island to near Black Creek, is said to be a point at which much business of this kind has been done. Finding the United States government officers and troops growing tired of the annoyance, and harrassing duty required of them, in consequence of the operations of these misnamed " Patriots; and the `sympathy" of the American people, getting quite below par, since their wanton destruction of the Sir Robert Peel, and other depredations upon defenceless Canadian inhabitants—these wretched misguided men have, as a last resort, and reckless of the result, thus madly return ed to their own country, 'and imbrued their hands in the blood of their friends and neighbours and thereby irretrievably cast themselves into the jaws of ruin and death. PROCLAMATION. CDA. By his Excellency Sir tlneEtt George ANA Arthur, Knight Commander of the Royal Hanoverian Guelpbic Order, Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Upper Canada, Major Gene ral comrnandint, her Majesty's forces therein, &c. &c. Whereas, on the morning of the 21st of this prese nt month of June, a large body of armed men assembled in the town ship of Pelham, is the Niagara district, and attacked and plundered a house in that neighbourhood of a large sum of money and other property, and fired upon and overpowered a small detachment of the ernliodied militia there stationed: And whereas, information has been received by me, that certain evil disposed persons connected with the brigands, who have of late molested disturbed the peace of the d. he American and British frontiers, crossed the Niagara river, a nd that they lurk; and the dseerkeeteewthieemdgseelals connivancei n parts the di s t r ict of Niagara,it of some of the disaffected resident inhabitants.

And I do hereby earnestly call upon all magistrates, offi cers, and other !rival subjects of the Queen, for their best united exertions in restoring the peace and tranquillity of the province, in the prevention of crime and disorder, and in the apprehension of the guilty ; and 1 assure them of every support and assistance which may be required for these pur poses, to the - utmost extent of the civil and military powers which her Majesty has been pleased to place in my hands. Given under my hand and seal at arms, at Thornton, this 22d day of June, in the year of our Lord 1838, and of her Majesty's reign the second. By command of his Excellency, GEO. ARTHUR. C, A. HAGERMAN, Attorney General. D. CAMERON, Secretary. (From the Rochester Democrat.) The British steam-boat Experiment, at Toronto, has been purchased and manned by the colonial government to go against the buccaneer Bill Johnson, among the Thousand I Isles. • About 200 of the 32d regiment have gone from Hamil ton, Upper Canada, to the Short Hills, and on Saturday 250 more regulart were on their march from St. Catherine's to the same destinatiora; also Governor Arthur with 100 from Queenston. General Clitherow has arrived at Montreal. It is rumoured the Patriots at the Short Hills robbed the Dutchman whose house theyburned of 2000 dollars. Chaund ler, their leader, before he was arrested, snapped his musket and knocked down two or three of the assailants with the but end of it. ThZ person who was ploughing in the field, and with whom he was conversing, was shot. Chaundler was summarily tried, and to be shot, it is said, on Monday last. The Patriots are said to have five magistrates, whom they threaten to hang if Chaundler is executed. - The regulars and militia in the vicinity of the Short Hills exceed I.soo—the Patriots number 600. It is again rumoured Bill Johnson has destroyed the William IV. steamer. MONEY MARKET-CITY NEWS. Friday, p.m. A report is in general circulation in Wall-street, that Mr. Biddle will be here in a week or ten :iays, for the purpose of making arrangements for opening his new bank or branch; and further, that bank certificates of the western banks will he received at very favourable rates. Whether the report is well or ill founded we cannot say. Now the sub-treasury is defeated, it is a natural supposition that Mr. Biddle will take early steps to carry into effect the establishment of his Lank; and any arrangement that can be made by which southern funds can be turned into cash will produce a most-beneficial effect. The public are suffering beyond all account from the great difficulty in uegociating. if the exchanges on the south can he brought down to 5 or 8 per cent., - instead of 8 or 20, as they now are, it will be most acceptable. The Stock Market yesterday was again active without any material alteration in prices. No sates of United States Bank were made. No change has taken place of any con sequence in domestic exchange, or in currenttnonev. - There has been, as yet, but little demand for bills on Europe for transmission by the B, istol steam-boat Sirius. Drawns have in consequence lowered their rate. The asking prices are 8 to 81 per cent. pre m iu m on E ng l an d. The A tlantic'Marine has declared a half-yearly dividend of 15 per cent. The United States Fire Insurance Company has declared a half-yearly dividend of 5 per cent. The Tradesmen's Bank has declared a half-yearly dividend of 5 per cent. . The Lafeyette Bank has declared a half-yearly dividend of 4 per cent. The Directors of the Boston and Worcester Railroad have declared a dividend of 3 per cent. for the last six months, payable on the 9th of July, to the holders of stock on the 30th instant. EXTRACT OF A LETTER PEON! QCEBEC, DATED JUNE 23 " We are all sadly vexed at a report of the intended re.sig nation of Sir John Colborne, a man who has united the mild ness of a parent and the energy of a soldier—one whose aim, whilst in the Upper Province and before the disturbances, was to exert himself to the utmost to assist and improve the situation of the numerous emigrants who proceeded to that province. From . proceedings at the Castle which have leaked out, a war with our neighbours is not a little talked of. Lord Durham has sent for Sir John Harvey.

Yesterday the rain came down in torrents. The farmers are anxiously looking for fair weather, as the grass in this part is now- being injured for want of cutting. The crops of grass are abundant, but it is feared that much, will be spoiled in the getting.—Blackburn Standard. GREAT NORTH OF ENGLAND RAILWAY.—It is stated, that in consequence of the engineering difficulties which attach to the proposed course of the Great North of England Rail way through the county of Durham, the parliamentary line of road will be altered, and that, avoiding the heavy cutting at ShinclifY, use will be made of the splendid Bridge recently erected across the River Wear at Fatlield. Economy, and a regard for the interests of the pr9rietors as well as the public, certainly suggests the propriety of this course.— Newcastle Joitinal. It has been officially announced that the Durham Junc tion Railway, which is tributary to that prosperous under taking, the Stanhope and Tyne railway, will be opened in about a month. The Durham junction will afford the facility of shipment on the river Tyne to the rich and exten sive Coal Field of the County of Durham, south of the river Wear, and may therefore be expected to bring avast addition to the trade of this port.—Newcastle Journal. LONDON UNIVERSITY COLLEGE.--The smothered fires of this establishment, are now bursting into public notoriety, beyond the means of concealment. The £l,OOO deficit in accounts is only a loss, but the fierce contention in the me dical school has grown to such a pitch as to render it expe dient to revoke the charter, in order to recognise the body politic. The whole matter is before the Home Secretary, and some measures must be adopted to heal this strife, which so injuriously agitates the university.— Lilera7y Gazette. A CONVERTED POLITICIAN.—About a month since, a veteran reformer called Edmund Hall, of Ashton-under- Lyne, had occasion to be in London, and having business to do, and wanting the assistance of a member of parliament, he applied to all the liberal members whom he could think of from Lancashire, but not one of then gave him a satisfac tory answer. He then applied to Lord Francis Egerton, M.P., for the county, who gave him the assistance he wanted. This kindness on the part of his lordship has so worked upon the old radical's feelings, that he has since he returned from London joined the Operative Conservatives, and last week he gave an account of his conversion, from what he had always called liberal principles. He now states that although e eaussreibnrevgeautivaer.tdEicoaillon Chronicle rflouroile ty n y e e po n n ars, he will now live and die a e ble of the th l e ' Chart-office, in to his staff as fieetlhrd'e-riPaid h a ' distinction.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY. NEGRO EMANCIPATION. Lord BROUGHAM, alter alluding. to the fact, that ihe noble example set by Antigua bail gradually been followed, first in the smaller colonies, next in. Barbadoes, and lastly in Jamaica itself, by which in all not less than 335,000 indivi duals were emancipated, besides those already emancipated as now-predials and young children, •by the law of 1833, moved, "That an humble address be presented to her Ma jesty, praying that het Majesty would be graciously pleased to cause an order in council to be issued, putting a period, • under proper provisions and regulations, to negro appren ticeship in the uncbartered colonies of the crown." Lord GLENELG said, that he and those who acted with him had always felt and avowed that an earlier termination than 18-10 of the apprenticeship was desirable, if that object could g • say, that the . movement in Barbadoes was originated by 'a • despatch from himself. It would, however, have been dan gerous to have sought to effect the object without the pre vious sanction and hearty co-operation of the local autho rities. Exactly the same ground applied to the crown colo nies as to the chartered colonies. Similar instructions to - • those. sent out to the chartered colonies had been forwarded to the crown colonies, and he had no doubt. they would , be acted upon by the heal authorities, who would legislate in the same spirit as the former had legislated. He was happy in being able to state, that in fact, the legislatures or the crown colonies had followed the examples set theta by the legislatures of the chartered colonies ; for, in addition to the information alluded to by the noble and learned lord, 'similar satisfactory accounts had lately been received from Grenada, and also from the Bahamas; and further, that in sonic of the crown colonies the governors intended to submit to the legis lative bodies acts of the same nature as those which had been carried elsewhere, and that no doubt was entertained of their success. • His lordship then proceeded to describe what had been done in Trinidad, Santa Lucia, and in Guiana. He said that he had every reason for anticipating the same satis factory result in the Mauritius. Lor - d BROUGHA at expressed himself highly gratified by the information communicated by the noble-lord. and withdrew his motion, on an understanding that government would, in despatches to the different gnvernors, urge in the most earnest manner the carryin , of similar measures in the crown colonies to those -adopted by the legislatures of the chartered colonies. • rhe benefices plurality bill went, through a committee The report etas ordered to-ho received an Friday nett.

Nr.cr.o A PPRENTICP.SIIIP IN JAMAICA Sir G. GREY stated, in answer to •-• t;lncl.tiry by Mr. O'Connell, that the legislature of .Jamaica had made pro vision for the termination of the negro apprenticeship system on Ist of August next. 1111511 TITHE EILI. Lord Joust RussEt.r, stated the course which ministers pro posed to take in reference to this measure; how far they were disposed to adopt the suggestion of Sir Robert Peel, and in what respects rtes felt bound to deviate from it. Instead of .€640,000 nut of the million, £740,0 1 A) had been expended, because £loo,ooo.llad . been granted to the ecclesiastical cotn tnissioners under a special statute. This would leave £260,000 vet unapplied ; and this sum, together with so much of the £740,0a0 as could be recovered from landlords, it was pro posed to devote to the payment of arrears of tithe composi tions due from occupying tenants in the years'lB36 and 18.37. In addition to the 1:260,000, it was his opinion that the suns to be recovered from landlords (whom he did not intend to relieve from liability, but the tenants only) would amount to £3e0,000. Thus, the sum of £360,000 might be applied to the payment of arrears of 1836 and 1837. " Though we yield," added his lordship emphatically) to the general wish of the house unon this question, we still think that the propo sition is not favourable to the permanent interests of the Church of Ireland. We fear that the payment of arrears due from persons whohave refused obedience to the law will offer a spec►es of premium upon tithe resistance, which is ill cal culated to promote the stability-of the Protestant Church in Ireland." .His lordship said he objected to make it optional with titheowners to accept or refuse this arrangement, which it was intended to effect, not by a new set of paid commission ers, but through the agency of persons already in office. The noble lord concluded by moving, as was understood, that the house resolve itself into committee upon the 3d and 4th Will. IV. (the Million Act,) and another act. Mr. HUME put it to the noble lord and the house, whether the house of commons had ever entered upon a vote of a mil lion of public money without previous notice given ? Lord J. RUSSELL said, that if the hon. member persisted in objecting to the motion upon that ground, he might, per haps be strictly justified; but he thought that the notice which he (Lord J.

Mr. 1-li:luE said it ought not to be to him, but. the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, who should stand forward to protect the public purse; but when he saw that the Chancellor of th.e Exchequer, instead of interfering, actually connived at the contemplated act of robbery, he was bound to stand forward. Sir R. PEEL said that at this late period of the session he was not disposed to throw any impediment in the way of this measure on a point of form. At the same time; whilst he should consent to the motion of the noble lord for going into committee, he begged it to be understood that, he did not pledge himself to the contemplated arrangement upon the first statement of the noble lord.

Several clauses were then agreed to, On the reading ,of clause 9; which relates to the revision of tithe compositions on application to the lord lieutenant in council, Mr.l.EFnor proposed the omission of that clause, mid all the following clauses to clause 19.

Colborne had resigned in con sequence of having required an increased military force. Lord 14.1EinotiuriE ausweted that no intermation had been' : received regarding the appointment to which allusion bad been made; but that, with respect to tbe other question, he thought it would be admitted that it was one to which the government ought not to give any answer. lie, however, afterwards stated (the Ea,l of Winchilsea having thllowed up his inquiry) that Sir J. Colborne certainly bad requested to be relieved his command, he having required more troops, and the government thinking that there was nothing in the present state of affairs in Canada to warrant an ad dition. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY inquired whether there were not a vessel loading.with arms to Spain; and secondly, whether it would be allowed to proceed previously to a satin= factory adjustment of the claims of the legion on the Spanish government. . . _ Lord illEr.nounrin thought that the first question had better be asked of Earl Minto when he was . piesent; and, with respect to the second, said that a commission was pro ceeding with the investigation or the claims, and,that the government would not relax in efforts to secure a satisfactory adjustment. _ _ _ The Juvenile Offenders Bill, on motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, vas considered in committee. • Lord Wil A aNCIA FFE called attention to the appointment of magistrates, particularly in the west riding of Yorkshire„ declaring that the lord chancellor cow made the appointments with reference to the politics of the parties, and with the view of "balancing" the political opinions of the bench, which he viewed as the commencement of a new system, and one of- a very prejudicial tendency. He, moved for a copy . or. copies of any petition, memorial, or other communication made to the lord high chancellor from any person or parsons residing at Leeds or its neighbourhood, or in the wapentake of Skyrac, respecting the insertion of certain names in the commission of the peace for the west riding of the county of York The Lord CIIANCgLLOR said that this motion had been in effect disposed of on - a loPiner evening on the proposition brought forward by the' Earl of Harewood ; his lordship ad mitted that he had been guided in his magisterial appoint tnenta hy the political opinionS of parties already on the bench, having sought, where there was any preponderance of political opinions, to counteract it by the introduction of persons hold ingopposite-sentiments. _ 'file motion, after some discussion, was understood to be withdrawn.

Mr. AGLIONBY said the bill had been before the house three sessions, and therefore he could not consent to any fur ther postponement. He should if possible, pass it through parliament before the adjournment. Sir H. SCGDEN, at considerable length, opposed the bill. Ile considered it would be giving a great advantage. to the rich over the poor, and, therefore, he moved as an amend ment, that the bill be committed that day three months. The real object of the bill was to turn every humble tenant out of his premises, at the will of the landlord ; and that was a principle which he wished a British-- House. of Commons would never sanction. (Hear.) A more- objectionable measure, he firmly believed, was never brought under the' consideration of the legislature. It was an attempt to grind the poor for the benefit of the rich. Sir E.WILmoT said he entirely differed in opinion with the right hon. gentleman; he did- not think the bill would interfere with the rights and interests of the poor;. if he for a moment entertained such an idea, he would oppose it with all his power; but be believed it would have a contrary effect, and that it would confer a great benefit on the public. r AG LIONUY defended the provisionsof the bill, and nied that it was at all calculated to support tyranny or op pression. The bill had been fully considered by a fair and important committee, and therefore he felt it his duty to per severe with it. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL strongly supported the bill. If it was au unpopular measure he was willing to have his share of the unpopularity, fur he had always been a strenuous sup porter of the ever since its first introduction, three years , since.

On investiga tion it was discovered that she was owner of a small cottage, for which she had paid 500 fr., a sum of 2,600 fr. in silver money in one bag, and an unaccountable number of two sou, pieces of mixed metal, distributed in closets, chests, baskets, and other places of concealment, which were put by the ma gistrates into two casks, and estimated by measure and weight at no less than B,ooofr. The rich beggarwoman had besides ninety .knives of all sizes and shapes, a gold pin, a silver pencil.case ' and a large store of plate, linen, and household o•ear...On being questioned how she came by all this wealth," she affirmed that she had acquired it by gather ing herbs, and selling them,. cud by collecting manure on the roads.

The government of Peru have declared Valparaiso under blockade from the 26th of August; and the government of Chili have declared Callao and two other Peruvian ports ur.der blockade from the 18th April. The Duke of Sutherland and the Duke of Cleveland are cloth spoken of as likely to get the garter, vacant by the demise of the Duke of Leeds. The complaint which carried off the noble duke was gout at the stomach. DINNER Hourt--The fashionable dinner has this season advanced full an hour, and has very nearly overtaken that Which, fifty years ago, was the supper hour; in which latter meal the former will, it is imagined, soon merge altogether. INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF IRISH CONSTABULARY.—OOI. M'Gregor arrived at Bristol by the Great Western. The gallant colonel is hourly expected in Dublin, to assume the duties of inspector-general of constabulary.—Dublin Evening Post. A correspondent to the Sussex Agricultural Express states, that he has found, by using a top dressing of gas ashes, after sowing turnip seed, the plants are effectually preserved from the fly, which is attributable to the odour ar►sing from the ashes. A QUEEN ANNE FARTHING—Within the ancient man sion of 6taineliffe, near Middleton, there was recently dis covered a farthing of Queen Anne. It was found amongst a choice collection of scarce and interesting coins, and is now in the possession of Mr. John Pilkington, Little Park, who is distinguished for a laudable desire to accumulate what ever is curious in the antiquities of the neighbourhood. ABELA un.—A manuscript has been found in the Vatican library, which, among other things, contains the songs of A belard, with their musical notation. The celebrated Abbe Raines (author of the Life of Palestrina) is about to rive a modern dress to them, which is to be edited by a German now in Rome. A joint-stock company is establishing at Coblentz, for forming a railroad from that city to Ems, which will be car ried by a tunnel, about 34 French leagues in length, through the heights of Pfaffendorf near Ehrenbreitstein, and will, consequently, be longer than any railroad tunnel out of En gland. The road is estimated to cost 360,000 thalers, (about 1,300,000 francs,) of which sum the tunnel will take 220,000 t balers. MARSHAL Sout.z.—lt seems that the corporation of Liver pool actually sent a deputation to London to invite Marshal Soult to dinner, and in compliance the marshal has fixed the 20th instant for his visit. Of course when they get him down, the loyal corporators will present him with a vote of thanks for his services during the war.—Lancaster Gazette. Government have at this moment at their disposal a lord lieutenancy for a county in each part of the United King dom :—The North Riding of York, in place of the late Duke of Leeds ; the county orKilkenny, in place of the late Mar quis of Ormond; and the county of Renfrew, in place of the late Mr. Campbell, of Blytheswood. LORD LIEUTENANCY OF THE NORTH RlDtNG.—The death of the Duke of Leeds occasions a vacancy in the lord lieutenancy of the North Riding of Yorkshire; and it is rumoured that the appointment will be conferred upon the Earl of Zetland, or upon his son now Lord Dondas. Other reports state that either the Marquis of Normanby or Earl Fitzwilliam will succeed the noble duke.—Leeds Mercury. STATE OF TRADE.—There was rather more business doing in the yarn market yesterday, principally, we believe, for Russian account; but it was extremely difficulty to obtain previous prices, and, in many instances, reduced rates were submitted to. In goods there was a fair business doing, especially in shirtings and printing cloths; but the drooping and uncertain state of the cotton market continues to have a rattier unfavourable effect upon prices.—Manchester Guar dian, Wednesday. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MAREET, MONDAY, JULY 16.—We have had a good demand to-clay for goods of the coarser kind, but there has been no improvement in the price, Flannels of the finer qualities have been little inquired for, and few have been sold. Wool still keeps up its price, though the demand is but limited, and the manufacturers are put chasing only for immediate use.—Manchester Guardian, Wednesday. THE PULASKI STEAMER.—We understand that a Mr Statisticld, of Todulorden, was one of the unfortunate indi viduals in this packet when its boiler burst, on its passage from Charleston to Baltimore, on the 14th ult. When the vessel went down, he got upon a raft with a number of others, and was exposed four days and four nights at sea, without food or water. Soon after he was brought to land, it is said, he died of exhaustiou.—Manchester Guardian. AFFA lit OF HONoUn AT ROCHDALE.—In consequence of some dispute which originated at a public dinner in Rochdale, on Thursday evening last, a hostile meeting took place the following morning at four o'clock, betwixt a gentleman from Manchester and another residing at Rochdale,- each being attended by a military officer The parties took their ground at a distance of twelve paces; and after exchanging two shots each without mischief, the seconds interfered, and declared that the matter should proceed no further. The belligerents then shook hands, and parted amicably. A LONG DANCE.—The Countess of Cadngan gave a ball on Monday night, at her residence in Piccadilly. The com pany exceeded live hundred in number, and included some of the principal members of the beau monde, Their Royal Highnesses the Duke de Netnours and Prince George of Cambridge danced with the Ladies Augusta and Honora Cadogan several tunes in the course of the eveninu. Dancing commenced shortly before eleven, and concluded before with a German Dance, which lasted upwards of an hour and a half The cold which marked the commencement of the present year has been extremely long in its duration in Sweden, as we learn by a letter from Stockholm. On the 10th inst. the northern side of the Isle of Ocland, in the Baltic, was still blocked up with immense masses of ice, which extended to a distance of seven French leagues into the sea, and which, on several points, were so close to each other that, when seen from some distance, they seemed to form but a single mass. They were five feet thick, and had chilled the atmosphere to such a degree as to put a stop to vegetation. In the Arctic Ocean and White Sea, too, the masses of floatin g ice were unusually abundant. An English merchant vessel, on'her voyage from London to Archangel, recently struck against snore of these blocks, and went to pieces at a shunt distance from the latter port.—French Paper- SUBMARIN Vor.cANo.—On the 25th of last November the Captain and passengers of the brig Caesar, from Havre, on passing the bank of Bahama, saw an enormous fire, which increased till it had tinged the whole sky and part of the horizon. It was kept in sight for four hours, and could only be accounted for as proceeding from a submarine volcano. On the 5d of January the captain of the Sylphide, also from Havre, being on the same spot, found the sea disturbed and of a whitish colour, which he attributed to the same cause. To these notices, conveyed to the French Academy of Sciences, Mot eau (le Joannes adds, that on the 30th of the same December an- earthquake took place at Martinique. The shock was violent, and the heat very great. GLoucrsTstt Mus Ica I. FEsTIV A L.—We have great plea sure in drawing the attention of our readers to the advertise ment containing the announcement of the forthcominw musical festival. "When we recollect the great increase of power gained at the last meeting, by bringing the morning performances into the nave of the cathedral, and increasing the number of Performers to two hundred, we cannot but express our satisfaction at the promise of the magnificent crieet of a band and chorus still more considerably augment ed, very far exceeding anything before heard in that city. Gloucester Cathedral, it is well known, is considered to be the best adapted in the kingdom for musical purposes, the volume of tone produced by the band being greatly increased by the structure of the building, and at the same time equally favourable to the single voice. In addition to the increase in the number of performers, the list of principal singers, although still incomplete, presents its with a host of first-rate talent, such indeed as has never been exceeded at any pro vincial festival. 'THE NEW GREAT SEAL. OF ENGLAND.—The following is a description of the new "great seal," which has just been finished by Mr. WTyon, principal-engraver of her Majesty's seals. It is said to be a beautiful specimen of art :—Obverse —An equestrian figure of her Majesty, attended by a page. The Queen is supposed to be riding in state; over a riding habit she is attired in a large robe, or cloak, and the collar of the order of the Garter; in her right hand she carries a sceptre, and on ,her head is placed a royal diadem. The attendant page, with his hat in hand, looks up to the Queen, whilst gently restraining the impatient horse, which is richly decorated with plumes and trappings. The inscription, " Victoria, Dm Gratia Britanniarind Regina, Fidel Defen sor," is:engraved in Gothic letters, and the spaces between the words are filled with heraldic roses. Reverse—The Queen, royally robed and crowned, holding in her right hand the sceptre and in the left the orb, is seated upon the throne, beneath a rich - Gothic canopy ; on either side is a figure of Justice and Religion; and iu the exergue are the royal arms and crown; the whole encircled by a wreath or border of oak and roses. - VOYAGE or DISCOVERY.—Letters have been received from Captain d'Urville, commanding the Astrolabe, which, with the Zehle, sailed from Toulon last September, to make a voyage bf discovery in the Pacific Ocean, as our readers will probably recollect. They were brought to New London, in Connecticut, by the American South Sea whaler M'Donough, Captain Lawton, who, on the 12th of March, found them de posited in the post-box established by Captain d'Urville at Port Famine, in the Straits of Magellan. A barrel had pre viously -been placed on a post set up on this desert shore by the captain of another vessel; and Captain d'Urville re placed it by a box, as being more secure, putting in it the letters contained in the barrel, and his own despatches, with directions, begging whoever found them to forward them to Europe or the United States. It. appears by Capt. d'Urville's despatches, that the v esse l arr i ve d sa f e l y a t P ort F am i ne from Rio aneiro, on the 15th December, and intended sail ing on the 28th, it' the wind should admit. No further con tents of the despatch have yet been published. Severe; letters far England have come to Europe from the same spot' —Gatignanr s Messenger. EXTRAORDINAEY CASE OF 31URDEE.—Perhaps a more painfully humiliating and heart-rending scene could not have been witnessed than the committal, on Monday evening last, to the gee( of this city (Aberdeen) of two ragged little boys, (brothers,) of the ages of 10 and 9 years respectively, on the serious charge of having murdered their cousin, an infant of three years of age, at Cromblet, in - the parish of Fyvie, on Saturday last. On their reception at the gaol, the keeper. in searching their persons, took from them some scraps of beef, oat cake, Sze., and was abdut to deprive them of a few marbles, observing that they would have no use for such play things.. Thereupon, the wretched little criminals, apparently quite unconscious of their situation, fell a crying, and be seeched the gaoler that he would spare them their marbles! Being told that this could not he allowed, they exclaimed— "o, keep them, then, till we get out again !" The names of the unhappy boys are George and Isaac IsZewlands •' that of their wretched victim is, Joanna APAllister. 'They are charged with having effected their purpose by striking the poor infant with sticks and stones, so as almost immediately to extinguish life. They all belong to a gang of tinkers, better known than trusted in this locality. Several of the fraternity have been tried and convicted before our criminal courts for various offences. The boys can neither read nor . write. As the case is at present under judicial investigation, we forbear any remarks. As it involves the sacrifice of human life, under circumstances of a most extraordinary nature, the authorities will spare no- pains in thoroughly in vestigating the whole affair.—Aberdeen Paper. EFFECTS OF a WHIRLWIND. —That phenomenon which is known by this familiar name, was witnessed with great atten tion and no small cause of apprehension on Wednesday last, by Mr. John Prestwood, of Branston, near this city, whose minute description we state almost in his own words. About a quarter before three, just preceding the storm, a whirl of air was seen to approach front the east, and to beCome a vast column about eighty yards in height, and as large round as a hay-slack - (hat should have about fifteen tons of hay in it. It approached the field slowly where Mr. Prestwood and his men were hay-making, and took up the hay, in a spiral ascent, to a vast height, carrying it to a great distance, going off across the adjoining fields. In about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour auadher great tornado was seen to ap proach out of the same quarter, proceeding in the same route as the other; but it took across a fallow piece about sixty yards from Prestwood's house it made a turn to the right, and then along the fallow field; there then occurred a sight most wonderful, for it tore up the earth and raised it to a great height in a black mass that seemed to be full of fire, with thundering and lightning out of the midst of it : the noise Mid crackling were hideous and appalling. It missed the house by a few yards, and Prestwood believes that if it had pissed over it the whole would have been carried away. The corner of an outhouse, and nearly a ton weight of newly cut thorns, were taken along with it, and scattered in all directions. It did not go faster than a horse could keep up with it. its course then went whirline. and curving towards Canwick. The cattle that beheld it fled about in order to avoid the danger; and such was its force,' that anything that lay in its way tippet have been destroyed,-I,il . can-gazette. .

THE WAR 1N SPAIN.-CHRISTINO CRUELTIESi."--- The radical press in this country has taken especial delight in dilating upon the-cruelties said to -have been perpetrated by the Carlist forces in Spain, especially in making war upon defenceless females; bat-we defy the ingenuity of any liberal scribbler in the kingdom to produce anything so utterly revolting to the. feel ings as the narrative which we are about to- detail, the actors in which were Christinos—the especial favour ites of our present government. It. appears from a letter, dated Logrono the 4th instant, that the wife of a Carlist officer, full of zeal for the cause of Don CaT , lo,s, employed herself in giving information; and ren dering other services to the cause which she littrirf , poured: A few days previous to the date of the' letter she left Logorno, carrying: :Wont her an" account Of the movement . Of Colonel Zorbano to surprise the Car lists. After about two hours journey she met with Zurbano'S party, but, thinking they were Carlists, she told him her mission, with all the circumstances : they let her continue in the belief• that they were . Carlists,• and conducted her to Logrono. On the morrow she was tried by a military commission, and condemned to be shot, but previously to be marched through the town. Immediately on herleaving the:prison the as sembled populace, not content with loading- her with abuse and insult, threw stones' and •strnck her with clubs, so that, arrived at the place of eitecution; was a corpse they dragged along, and there was no neces ?ity for other means of death ; neverthelessiwp Shots were fired at her The barbarity of these Wretches did not each here. It was not sufficient for them to put her to death,in a . manner the most revolting and _ig nominious. Their revenge was not yetsatiated ; but, with a brutality which could only be displayed by the degraded slaves of Popery, they proceeded to tie the body to the tail of a, horse, and it was dragged through the streets of Logrono until literally only a morsel of flesh was attached to the horse's tail. . . . . Here is a specimen of the sort of warfare carried on by the Christinos—the allies of England —no, not of England, but of a Popish-ridden cabinet, and a'tadical faction, who have done all they can to render the nan:e of England despicable in the eyes . Of the whole world. It is, indeed, high time that something should be done to vindicate our national character IroM an imptited participation in such atrocities. It is a burning shame that the British navy should in any way co-operate with such abandoned wretches as the Clristinos, and that these cut-throats should be aided in their murder ous enterprises by supplies of alms and ammunition from the English government. There is butone'vvaY of doing away-with this scandalous allianee, and that is by dismissing' from (ace the present unprincipled ministry. •UNITED STATES AND CANADA.--By the Sirius steam-ship, which sailed from New York on the 30th ultimo, and arrived at Falmouth on Monday last, we are put in possession of news from the United States to tire end of last month. The latest advices from Canada extend to the 2Gth t.ltimo. We learn that the Sub-Treasury Bill has been rejected in the House of Representatives by a majority of 123 to 111. The news seems to have thrown the New York press Into ecstacies of delight. An attempt was made to procure a le-consideration of the vote, but the motion met with a still worse fate than the bill itself—having been ne gatived by a majority of 102 to 21. • The Rochester Democrat—on what authority it .is impossible to divine--gravely announces the iMpoet ant fact of Lord Durham's recall by the Home . GO.' vernment. The alleged cause of this singular move ment is said to be a warm reinonstrance addressed to' the British Government by the present Earl of Set= kirk, who claims the appointment of Governor over the Canadian provinces. We shall not beStow'another word on this absurd rumour. The New York Evening Slur of June 30:11 a n. , flounces that the rebels had received a total defeat in t h e neighbourhood of Short Hills, which are located in the Niagara district. The standards and ringleaders. of the insurgents were captured. A great number.of Americans are said to have.been discovered among tho prisoners. When the last news from - this q uarter reached New York the rebels were in- full retreat to- wards the Grand River•road. . • St; C(Aioiiies. tsat SOo°4o
