The freight for bullion has been fixed at the enormously high r ate of one and a-half per cent. Now, we can carry passengers from Melbourne to Liverpool average of less than 50/., and gold at for an transit duty ch gypt, is a great triumph, if we can dare to use a word of exultation on such a subject, for the advocates of the sparing of life It ShOWs that those exhibi- tions - which were only a few years ago looked up to as so many natural incidents in the ordinary course of things have become too horrible for these days. The Peers of the Realm, have, in a word, ex ploded the doctrine of " example," and have so- lemnly rebuked those who ask on that score " blood for blood" as a great public necessity. The Whole f capital puni Ihment has, therefore, itself into the narrowest limits It has, in —whether that whieh the highest fact, com to this tribunal in the land are of opinion is injurious to society when performed in public, is to be sanc tioned in private ? To give the country the supposed benefit of a full measure of even-handed justice, every responsible being who commits a murder ought to be hanged. This can not be done, owing to the numbers found guilty. One in three or five only is selected for execution, although all are equally guilty, and those who suffer the extreme penalty of law are publicly hanged, as we have always been told, for example—to strike terror into the minds of evil doers. Now, if this example is found to be no longer expedient, what becomes of the argument in favour of putting one murderer to death and sparing the life of another? Is it to be supposed that the public desire to have those lives taken away within the precincts of a prison which they do not deem necessary to take for the general good before the world ? Such an idea betrays a belief that there is a greater degree of ferocity existing in the Englishman's bosom than has yet been shown, whereas the suggestion contained in the Lords' report is the result of a directly opposite feeling, - and growing conviction in favour of the total abolition of the punishment of death, under any circumstances. The whole subject has, however, been once more brought fairly under discussion, and_ when the report of the Peers' Committee has been read and digested by the public, we are convinced that the arguments which have been employed against the continuance of open day hanging, will be found to tell as strongly against the expediency of private execu . There are many deaths more terrible to meet than that of the gibbet. There is the death of a man's liberty ; the death of a pitiless slave in chains ; the death of a self-accused and self condemned murderer; the death of on exile, separated from the scenes of his wickedness—from all his lingering attachments to home and kindred, in an impenatrable wilderness, pursued by the bitterest tribulation at the thought of the past and but that new birth which robs death, even on the scaffold, of its sting. Finally, there is no other subject which could engage the attention of any people in which religion, morality, and philo sophy combine in such perfect harmony as they do on this one. And the more those who are in favour of capital punishment reflect upon it, and discuss it, the sooner they will be convinced that it is a practice which ought to have ceased with the dawn of Christianity and the emancipation of the mind of man from the thraldom of paganism. Humanity has no refuge from these tortur THE WENSLEYDALE PEERAGE.—We have reason to believe that the question so long pending as to the am biguous position of Lord Wensleydale will be immediately solved by the conversion of the life peerage which that eminent lawyer now holds into an hereditary peerage. Under all the circumstances of the case we cannot but express our satisfaction at this termination of the dispate ; our suprise is only that so simple a solution of the diffi culty should not have been thought of at an earlier period in the session.—Times. ST. MATTHIAS'S CHURCH SCHOOLS.—Last night a soiree was held in St. Matthias's Church School - , great Howard street, on the occasion of the distribution of prizes to the pupils. There was a very numerous gathering of the members of the congregation belonging to the church, and of the friends and supporters of the schools, and the fes tivity seemed to afford to all the utmost pleasure. After a very excellent tea, to which full and liberal justice was done by " Young England," assembled for the occasion, the company retired to the railed-in space outside the church, which was canopied over and tastefully fitted up with evergreens and flowers as a promenade, and while they there enjoyed the fresh evening air, grateful after the heated atmosphere in which they had been recently crowded, the tea equipage was removed and the rooms Prepared for the more practical business of the evening. In one part of the promenade, however, a magic lanthorn was set up, and was a source of boundless amusement to the children, whose laughter and exclamations of delight came streaming in at intervals through the door of the school where their seniors were listening to the instruc tive and encouraging discourses on the importance of lay agencies and visitations, which were being delivered by the clergymen present. The chair was occupied by the Rev. Mr. Sheldon (incumbent), and the other clergy men in attendance were the Reverends H. Marlon, It. Dandy, J. Gilmour, and G. Troughton. The Chairman, before proceeding to the distribution of the prizes, observed that the examinations had been strictly carried out on the Government plan of written questions, and that the utmost impartiality had been observed in deciding as to the successful competitors. In the girls' school they had given a special prize for sewing, because it was one of the most important qualifications a young lady could possess (hear, hear), and he, for his part, should confess that he would not give a pin tor any woman that could not darn a stocking and make a shirt. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) This prize, consisting of a very pretty little work-box, was then bestowed on a little girl named Amy Jarman, whose eyes beamed with pride and pleasure as she received it. Prizes consist ing of books were bestowed for readin.:, writing, &c., on Sarah Ann Hiley; 2nd prize, Margaret ihnson. Second division, Elizabeth Trumpet ; third division, Ann Joyce. Boys' school-Ist prize, 11. Moore; 2nd do., William Mitchell; second division, Thomas Hunter; third division, James Corran; arithmetic, Edward Carey. Several anthems were sung by the choir, which is composed of voluntary amateurs, during the evening, and the company separate until an advanced hour. We may mention that before breaking up a most elegant and beautiful did not s 2nd parties change, wh, Ws of the World pe, or is per cent. The value of g ods passing through I cent. on the value, or one-eighth more than the entire freight on gold from Melbourne to Liverpool. It would, therefore, be paying the contractors a French compli ment to wish them all success in this branch of their anticipated traffic. The " Overland " passage" is to be accomplished in fifty days. In this assurance, " weather permitting," and other ancient provisos, go for nothing. Fifty days is the time to which Mr. WILSON and the Government are pledged, notwithstanding that the shortest passage on record is that just made by a Liverpool ship, the Royal Charter, and that has occupied fifty-nine days. The mail contractors have to beat this wonderful performance, before they can hope to take either passengers or gold from the ships of the Mersey. If the mail steamers on the other side of Egypt, can perform the passage from Men to Australia in the same time, the public will have no cause to be dissatisfied with their sailing or steaming qualities. And if they can perform the whole distance from Southampton to Melbourne in 75 or 80 days, we have had sufficient experience to show us that they will be doing wonders, and we repeat once again, for the special information of Mr. WILSON and the contractors, that the average transit of mails, for two years, by the Marseilles and Aden route, according to official evidene as given in the Parliamentary blue books, was fifty six days mtward, and within a fraction of sixty-five lays homeward, and knocking off six day one way, and fifteen_ days the other, is drawing rather )ed fortune. It is tantamount to a revolution has taken place in )n, the art of navigation, and the x) larg 7. tha' ter of the regions to be traversed, which no one but Mr. Wllsom and the fortunate Ed charm compre Probably, Liverpool has much to learn, but until we see something better done, we may rest satisfied that the Royal Charter has discovered the We have heard of th lhortest and best route onvict who said to the astonished Kangaroo, I transported to se e you," but the rapturE 'elt at this r joy of th, that tt Liverpool pier-head ntre could have beenAlothing to the Colonists, when they were convinced ithin only fifty-nine days of the Royal Charter has nobly sustained the of her name, and if she should er homeward run in seventy days, there the high prest make h are many who will be disposed to back her on the through ocean run against the Royal Mail steamers via Aden. Liverpool, however, has lost nothing by the transfer of the Monthly mails to Southamp• ton, beyond the contract for their conveyance The passenger traffic is still open to the Panama route. We can carry passengers and bullion from forty to fifty per cent. cheaper than the South amp . . and if a regular line of steam ships 'ere started from this port to Australia, the public 'mild insist on a mail being sent by them. The close connection between the Colony and the parent State is becoming of more importance daily, and every opportunity must be taken by the Go vernment and the mercantile community to keep up a rapid intercourse between the two countries. We may then hope still to see a line of steam-ships running between Liverpool and Melbourne via Panama. The merchants of the North will never be satisfied with the transmission of their Austra lian letters and bullion by the Government route. We speak advisedly when we say as regards time it will be a pitiful repetition of former failures.

MORE STABBING BY WOMElC—Stabbing by women now seems to be the rule in Liverpool. Yesterday, a female luties named Eliza. M'Donnell, who resides at the north end of the town, was brought up before Messrs. Cropper and Benn, at the police court, charged with having stabbed ,et t another woman named Eliza Evans. It appeared that the parties were in some sailors' boarding - house at the 0 t g n s north end of the town, when a dispute arose between them L o a naturally virtuous mind, or to those e ference to " a beauty of a black man , " and then a pugilistic encounter followed, when the prisoner stabbed r the safety and well - being of society, as t he compliinant in several places on the face, p artic u l arly about the nose.

Amongst the manufacturers the demand for exportation is almost nil. The late events in Spain has closed all trade in that quarter. England and Russia continue to make small purchases. The last packet boats from New York and South America brought no new orders. The commercial operations be tween France and the United States during the first quarter of 1856, as regards imports, amounted to 416 millions of francs, against 236 millions in 1855, and exports 240 millions, against 176 ditto respectively. In the principal sugar markets there has been a rise in prices. At Havre good Antilles advanced from 66f per 50 kilos to 68f. The stocks on hand are said to be very small, and a good many purchases have been made in advance of arrivals. This rise at Havre has influenced the market at Nantes, where there are many extensive sugar refineries. One establishment purchased 7,475 bags of Antilles at 67f, or an advance of 50c on previous quotations. At Marseilles an upward movement has taken place in foreign sugars, in consequence of the deficient importations from Havanna and Brazil, and the increased consumption throughout 600,968 France. This day the second annual meeting of the London and Eastern Banking Corporation was held, the Hon. John Cadwalader Erskine in the chair. The general manager, Mr. Stephens, read the report, from which it appeared that this bank had been very successful within the two years of its establishment. The profits of the past year were 25,3781., exceeding 10 per cent. upon the paid-up capital of the bank. The shareholders having been paid two dividends of 6 per cent. for that year, the directors felt it more advisable to stop any further distribution out of that year's profits, and had therefore put away the balance of 10,3781. towards a reserve fund. The past half year's profits had been so far satisfactory that the directors felt bound to continue, in anticipation of the accounts, the usual dividend of 6 per cent to the 30th June last. It appeared from the report that the objec tion to this bank offering a higher rate of interest than others was removed by the corporation having Indian branches, in which money could be em ployed at remunerative rates. The success attend ing the Hyde Park Branch had induced the directors to establish another in Pall Mall. The report was adopted, and a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman and directors, and to the officers of the corporation. At the annual meeting of the Union Bank of Australia, held also this day, Robert Brooks, Esq., in the chair, the report was read, which included the statement of the accounts for the half year ending in the Colonies, 31st December, 1855, and in London, on the 30th of June last, and they expected a diminished profit as compared with the previous year, the fact arising from an advanced state of exchanges. A dividend was declared by way of interest, at the rate of 10-!- - . per cent for the half year, being with the previous dividend, equal to 24 per cent for the year, on the amount paid up in respect of each share in the capital of the com pany, payable in London free of income tax, on Tuesday, the sth of August, and in the Colonies, with the addition of income tax, as soon as the inspector shall fix after the receipt of advices. The dividend will be at the rate of £2 12s 6d per share, which will make, with that of the last half year, £6 per share for the year The report was unanimously adopted. The English Funds are exceedingly dull, at about previous quotations. Speculation appears to be almost suspended, and the public are not investing so freely as usual just after the payment of the dividends. Consols closed to-day at 95 11-16 95 13-16. In the discount market the enquiry for accom modation continues very quiet, and the fates are about 31- for the negociation of first class paper. As the foreign exchanges are rather firmer it is hoped that the remittances of gold to the Conti nent will diminish, when the Directors of the Bank of England would probably be in a position to reduce the minimum rate of discount. Foreign Stocks remain dull and quiet. The committee of Spanish Bondholders have published a notification announcing the dissolution of their body. In the Railway Share Market there is no general movement of importance in prices, but they remain exceedingly firm. In many instances the principal shares are ss. to 10s. higher than on Saturday. Paris and Lyons and some of the other foreign lines are rather heavier. Riga and Dunaburg Shares rule firm.

LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT, YESTERDAY.—(Before Mr. Commissioner Perry.)—ln rf, JOHN L AMB.—The bank rupt, a drysalter, of Liverpool, passed his last examina tion this day, and the 19th of August was fixed for the certificate meeting. In re WILLIAM STOREY.—The bank rupt, tailor and draper, of Great George's-street, Liver pool, also passed his last examination, and the certificate meeting was fixed for the same day. THE CHARGE OF SCUTTLING THE SHIP JOHN LYNN. —This case was proceeded with yesterday, when Robert Town, the second mate of the above ship, was again brought up, before Mr. R. Gladstone, on the same charge. Mr. Simon, instructed by Mr. Harvey, appeared for the prosecntion, and Mr. Tyndall Atkinson, Instructed by Mr. Bluck, defended the prisoner. The chief facts of this case have already appeared in our paper, and for nearly three hours yesterday witnesses were examined to support the charge, but it finally failed, as the evidence was not deemed sufficient to sustain it, and the prisoner was discharged. CORONER'S IrtQuEsTs.—Yesterday, the deputy-coroner, W. H. Statham, Esq., held the following inquests :—OR the body of Isaac Roberts, aged 23, who was a labourer in the employment of Mr. Jones, Duke-street. The deceased was working at a new mill in Crabtree-lane, and was on a scaffold, from which he fell suddenly on a stone, an d hurt his head so seriously that he died on Saturday. The transaction was purely accidental, and the jury found accordingly. — On the 'body of Patrick Mathews, a labourer, aged 26. He was employedlas a watchman at a building in Grayson-street, and on Satur day night he fell off a wall and smashed his head. Verdict accidental death. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE SPANISH INSURRECTION Despatches from Marseilles, dated Sunday evening, announce the arrival at that port of the Spanish steamer Balear, which left Barcelona on the preceding day, and has brought the intelligence that the rising which took place to the cry of " Long live Espartero " has been suppressed. The barricades were carried. The government par. doned the insurgents. The ships Suffren and Toulon sailed for Barcelona yesterday. The 37th regiment left last evening for the Spanish frontier. The Messager de Bayonne of Sunday states that Espartero is watching Madrid (garde a vue Madrid.) At Barcelona, on the 19th, Vanquility is said to have been re-established, and the militia disarmed and dissolved. There has been a movement at Janquera. A junta has been formed at Saragossa, of which General Falcon is President. All Aragon has pronounced against O'Donnell. Gurrea com mands the insurnction. The Cortes is assembling at Saragossa. Eighty-five deputies have already arrived. o - FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. 4here is no additional news from Spain. At the close of business on the Bourse to-day, the French Funds were quoted as follows :—Four and a Half per Cents, 93f 50c ; Three per Cents, 70f 50c. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, StNDAY EVENING The more that is known of the events in Spain the graver they appear. The meeting of the Cortes, which O'Donnell dispersed by force, was, it appears, from the numbers present, and the manner in which it was convoked —constitutionally a par liament. Thus then, though O'Donnell was con stitutionally nominated Minister, he has, in a legal point of view, made as arbitrary a coup d'etat as Louis Napoleon did on the 2nd December. All Arragon, it seems, declares against him, and Sara gossa is completely in the. hands of the insurgents. The Mexican Embassy announces through the newspapers the arrangement of the difficulties between Spain and Mexico. It is said that the Government contemplates uniting all the railway companies in France into five or six gigantic companies. BELGIUM. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) BRUSSELS, JULY 20. Whilst France is plunged into complete political lethargy,—and whilst Spain is in a state of frightful confusion, all Belgium, and particularly Brussels, is getting up magnificent fetes, and manifestations of national joy. The Belgians have this very month accomplished the twenty-fifth anniversay of their i n d e pendence as a nation, under the sagacious and moderate rule of King Leopold, and they have wisely resolved that it shall be celebrated with becoming solemnity, both in the capital and all over the kingdom. At Brussels the fetes are to be on a scale of extraordinary splendour, and are to be the same as those which took place when, this time twenty-five years ago, Leopold, Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, made his public entrance into the city to assume the crown and sceptre. In all the principal squares of the city triumphal arches are erected, and nearly all the houses of all the streets are decked with flowers and foliage, and the national colours of black, red, and gold. The people, without distinc tion of class, seem full of the liveliest enthusiasm. They are proud of their position in Europe, proud of their nationality, proud of their prnspPrity. and proud of their liberty—and they love their king. Well, then, may they be enthusiastic on such an auspicious occasion as this ! It is to-morrow that the fetes, properly speaking, commence, but they have in reality begun to-day, as all the people dressed in their best, are (in spite of unfavourable weather), out of doors holiday making, and the city is literally encumbered with foreigners and strangers. High mass has, besides, been celebrated in the cathedral with extraordinary pomp, by the Cardinal Archbishop of Malines, and there has been a splendid procession through the city of the troops of the garrison, bands of music, the archbishop and clergy, a large body of citizens, young girls dressed in white, &c., &c., with banners and statues of saints, and I know not what besides. In the evening there is to be a discharge of artillery and illuminations. _ Reports have been current that the King con templated abdication, but they have been denied by authority. Great numbers of English are here. THE EAST The Simois arrived at Marseilles on Saturday, with Constantinople letters of July 10. M. Masai, the Sardinian Ambassador to the Porte, had pre sented his credentials. Mehemet Ruchdi, the Minister at War, had offered his congratulations to Marshal Pelissier. The Marshal was afterwards presented to the Sultan, who received him most warmly, and expressed his thanks for the powerful support which the Marshal had given to the inten tions of the Emperor to defend his sovereign rights. On Saturday there was a review, and after wards a dinner of 110 covers at the Dolma-Bagtche Palace. There was a diplomatic dinner on Thursday. The Dido frigate and twenty trading vessels remain still at Kamiesch. The Russians and English saluted Marshal Pelissier on his departure. Gene ral Mouravieff was expected at Tiflis to concentrate the army of the Caucasus. Marshal Pelissier's departure from Constantinople is fixed for the 19th. Generals Damesure, De Lamoire, and Sol, the 44th and 94th regiments of the line, and the 17th battalion of Chasseurs, will accompany him. The Crimea is completely evacuated. The Russians have promised to allow the merchants at Kamiesch six weeks to embark their goods. A telegraphic despatch received at the Admiralty yesterday announces that the following vessels passed the Bosphorus, on passage to England, on the 15th, 17th, 18th, and 2)th inst. :—Clyde-400 men of Land Transport Corps and Army Works Corps; 60 men D Troop.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.-,MoNDAy The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsac at five o'clock. THE BRAZILS.-RUSSIA, In answer to a series of questions urged by the Earl of Malmesbury, The Earl of CLARENDON said that the Brazilian govern ment was most anxious to put an end to the slave trade r and the differences that had arisen between that govern ment and the British Envoy at Rio de Janeiry were con sequent upon neglect on the part of certain of the authorities of Brazil. The British government had, however, signified to the Brazilian minister at this court their wish to remain on terms of amity with his gover meat, and he (the Earl of Clarendon) hoped that the friendly relations between the twe governments would not be disturbed. With regard to the fortresses of Ismail and Reni, the noble earl admitted that they had been dismantled, and observed that nothing was said at Paris about their preservation, because it was not. believed that the Russians would have taken such am improper and malicious step. In reference to the delay of the Russian Government in sending their minister to London after the British minister had gone to Russia, the noble earl held that it was undoubtedly disrespectful to her Majesty. The Earl of DERBY remarked that these interruptions of good understanding between the two Governments did not seem to augur well for the patched-up peace. The subject then dropped. The Court of Chancery (Ireland) Receivers' Bill was, read a third time. The Formation of Parishes Bill also passed.

NEW TUBULAR BOILER.—A model of a new tubular boiler for marine engines was exhibited yesterday at the Exchange News Room by the patentee, Mr. Simon O'Regan. The novelty and value of this invention con sists in the tubes being placed vertically, and being filled with water. The furnace occupies the same position as in the common boiler, but the flame passes from the furnace to that portion of the flue in which the vertical tubes are placed, and these are so arranged as to check the current of heat, while a large area is left for radiation. By these means there is secured a two-fold mechanical distribution; first, of the water to be heated; and, secondly, of the heat by which steam is generated. The tubes would be about 3it feet long, and 3i inches in diameter, over which there would be about 10 inches of water, still leaving an unusu ally large space for steam in the crown of the boiler, which is probably one of its greatest practical advantages. The tubes being constantly filled with water are protected against heat, and will keep themselves ffee by the action of the boiling wLzer which must pass through them. To the boiler the patentee adds his smoke prevention furnace, which keeps his flues from being choked with soot, • a defect which has led to the failure of every other descrip tion of tube boiler. By this counteraction the patentee guarantees, it is said, a saving of 20 to 50 per cent. in fuel, and a duration of the furnace which is almost incredible. Mr. O'Regan has announced that he will be ready to explain the whole of his invention in the News Room to-day and to-movrow from three to four o'clock. session , THB BANK CHARTER ACT.

The amount of expenditure over income in 1856 7 was X 1,635,520. The deficiency was no doubt very large, and was attributable wholly to the expense of public works; if it had not been for which there would have been a surplus revenue of X 346,044, instead of a deft iency.
