bbYTEmi.6l, l l l * Y PRESS. The discussion in the Houie of Lords last night, relat ing to the MUnicipal Corporations Bill. (nicknamed b", its authors a bill of reform) will, obtain the applause and excite the general' gratitude• of the people of England. The country will retain a deep and lasting sense.of obli- Eation to the Earl o f F a l mout h , L or d S tra n g f or d , t h e arl of Winchilsea, Lord Lyndhurst, the Duke.of Wel lington, and other peers, who manfully stood forward -upon this occasion to,arrest the career of boldand.profli gate injustice, and to, stein: the torrent of unprincipled calumuy—injustice not the less flagrant that it. was de vised'by disloyal.' ministers 'of the crown, and faithless, servantkor the peoPle', for their own base and selfish par poses--calumny not the less 'pernicious or offensive that it has been promulgated by a body of mercenary corn anissioners illegally hired- E'er that purpose. Ts it not' mOnStrous that a body Of briefless lawyers. _should - haVe' been hired by the ministers of the crown 4e travel through England, armed with such authority as, those ministers could give, to collect liugevolumes of malignant slander against the reputation-of the • most entinent inhabitants of every corporate town? Is it not Still more Monstrous than these, huge volumes ; of malig r.ant slander should so have been collected in order to found upon them an act of .tlie legislature, which was to disturb much valuable property, and annul many impor tant and well-estato;shett rights. We - say that the corporation commissioners were alas . .. pointed by the whig . mini s t ers , an d pa id at t h e expense of the people of England, for the purpose of collecting. • huge volumes of malignant slander against"the most enii . - nent and respectable burghers and citizens of this coun try'; and we make 'thiS assertion upon th e , sound, and just,' andnniversally admitted principle that men must be presumed to intend whatever kale necessary ornatu• , rat effect of their own deliberate conduct. The whig, ministers who appointed the corporation commissioners. may even more fairly be charged with the foul slanders. Of: which (thanks to the conscientious regard of the ; House . of Lords to the character and property of their, fellow-subjects) those commissioners and the swarms of false witnesses whoin they drew around them are about to be convicted, than the man can be charged with mur- . der who' haS s l a in a f e ll ow-creature by a pistol•shot fired at random into a public highway, for in a fortunate' concurrence of circumstances the pistol-shot so fired at random may by possibility miss every brunan being, while there is no' possibility that, such commissioners . should fail to give birth to, just such volumes of, flagiti ous calumny as those recently edited.under the authority of the executive government. What was it that the Whig Corporation Commissioners, in effect proclahned to the whole body of the inhabitants of every city and corporate town that they disturbed and: . infected by their presende ? What was' it that they were: authorised to proclaim . ? It was simply this :—" If in - the 01)0 or City (as the case might be) of ---- there be any man who envies or who huts the possessors of local authority, justly or unjustly, with reason or vvithotit, if there b any man who harbours resentment, for that lie fancies municipal' honours arid authority have descended upon hiui too slOwly ; for that he deems any services he mayhave rendered, or supposed himself to have rendered; to, the town to have been inadequately rewarded ; for that be imagines he has been unjustly or excessively punished by the local MagistrateS for 'any offence which he may have heretofore committed s --if, in short: there be any dis c(Mtented man, whether hisdiscontent arise from an alder man having neglected to return his 'salutation with suffl-: cient.courtesy, from the (*mission to send hint an Invite tion to' the corporation dinner, or froni the beadle having ernPlOy,ed too vigorous an arm the last time he Made free with the hen-roost Of an influential corporator —now is the time for all such men to' vent their spleen, and gratify their malice. Such an' opportunity probably will never re c ur. We, 04Scorporation commissioners; are the per s o n s to whom all men may unburden their griefs: Liars, slanderers, stamps, •and vagabonds of all descsiptions come forth. Now is your' day of triumph. Ali that you say to us shall be re2orded, shall be sent to -the King,ashall . be . printed at the' ptiblieexpense, and dis persed throughout g.tikland,—shall,be used as the fowl s , dationnf a mea sure t o overthrow the power of the men who have overlooked' votir pretensiOns, or visited your offences with a, too paissful rigour. Corneforwardbolilly; • • : alai tell us all you know, and as much more as you for, yon need further encouragement, knew that on this special occasion you rnav speak fatselibpd with the fullest assurance of impunity." This was in substance 'the' proclainat ion made by tke whig corporation - cointtifs Ittioners in every city and tow n i n E ng l an d : Th at it was fatly understood—that- it was eagerly and diligently obeyed—that it has produced many ponderous volumed of malignant anti profligate . CaluMny can excite no sur prise. .The on ly marvel. that it ha s p ro d uce d so li ttle. When men are indiscriininately invited to speak evil of their superiors, with the certainty that they may tell lies with impunity, the harvest of slander isrMit likely to be' scanty. The time, however, has at length arrived when the fa - Isehood4.-colleeted with so much diligence and zeal, alid'at so consul rable a cost to the nation', will be duly sifted. We know from the very nature of the inquiry carried on by , the corporation commissioners that the gresit hulk of the' iuliirrnation which they profess to have given the country,' in return_ for their abundant pay, must, of necessity, turn out to be false on the first ap proach of anything like close investigation. H a d we ever entertained any doubt of this, the desperate attempt made last night by Lord Melbourne to deprive the traduced: corporations of the common justice for which they peti tioned, of being heard in their own defence at the bar, would entirely have removed it. His Lordship pretended, in order to debar the accused parties of a hearing, that the bill before the house hati . no' reference to the past conduct of corporations, but was to he regarded as a great theasnre of national policy. Why, then, We beg to ask, were the commissioners appointed ? Why did" they travel through the country, to collect what they call evidence, and what we call calumnious tattle ? Why has all this mass of slander been printed at the public expense, and to the grievous injury of numerous bodies of respectable men, who can have no legal redress ? Why, we repeat, all this cumbrous, and useless, and per. Mils:sus apparatus? Is Lord Melbourne driven at last to the hard necessity of confessing that the commission was appointed fur the mere purpose of putting large sums of the public money into the pockets of some dozen or two of briefless lawyers, whein it suited the party purposes of tife whigi to patronise ?—Morlting STATE OF 1118 GOVERNMENT.—The anomalous posi tion which the three estates of the realm hold relatively tottards each other is, at this Moment a subject of mu ni'entous importance. The principle of the British con stituting, which grants -to the king, the lords, and' the commons an equal share in the legiSlatiVe power of the country, is nnw particularly at stake. In the words o f a whig paper, the queition is asked f 4 Whether the lords or tlie.coiumons are to govern ?" This is the problem Which the liberal Party_ would have the public believe is about to be solved and set at rest. The fallacy embraced in the question as pripounded by the whips and radicals is easily exposed. These men wish to pit the point at issuer upon an eh Uneous foundation, in, order to divert the friends of our mixed 'form of government from the real qaestion, which is neither more nor less.than this, " Are the lords to be gov'erned by the commons?” or rather, are the cornnions to be the sole potVer•in the - state ? Such is the true statement of the question at issue; and the at tempt of •the' 'ministerial party to place it upon other' grtiuntla is mer e ly a device to delude. the gr ea t- body o f tl)e'lieop!e from the real point under discussion. • iu. entering upon this important topic, we mean not to argue the justice "and - expediency of the principles whi c h regulate the British conqitution ; it is conceded, on al every.side; that 'they 'are practically wise and bene ficent. They are . also wellunderstood ; so that in apply ing. them to the existing, state of the legislatur e and of the government, they firrnish Us -with 'a test whereby we are easily enabled to decide upon the :: . liaracter of mea sures contemplated by parties, and the means by which tlir..se are attempted to be carried. Tile principles of the constitution; however obsolete such language may have become in these liberal tinier, powerfully teach us that nn measure ought to be carried into a law which ha's not. the full sanction of the three estates; and, moreover, that the party who etideavours to deprive any of these pOwers of their just and constitutional influence, are guilty of treaschn against the state. We can hardly re gard the men less criminal who bring forWarcl measures which they know to amoral certainty one,' if not two of the estates will refuse to sanctidO. rq so.doing these men are &Mod guilty of inflicting a most wanton injury Upon the ccnstitlition ; for their attempts can only be re garded as a means of holding up the o'bjectin'g authority to public odium and indignation. That the present mi nistry are placed in this situation with relation to the House of Lords —that they have most 'recklessly resolved to risk a collision with that branch of parliament—can not be disputed; and they must, therefore, be . regarded as abandoning th e rea l duty of gover nment,which in forms them that their first object ,ought to be to smooth the working and pr eserve t h e frame of the machine of the constitution. The ivhigs have not been forced into this most unna tural attitude. If the people bad returned a decided nia:- jprity'tif representatives in . favou r of superseding the upper house;ministers would have had sonic excuse for o:eir"conAirer . ; but when we know that, but for their in f:i.ence;the House of Commons would act harmoniously. House of Peers on all the quest Zones ve - idliP which at present agitate the political world,. We cannot suflicientlY condemn the selfish ambi t i on which ha.s dnear' them so far to violate the duty which th . ey . . ow e to . the cou.Vril and its established instituti o n ! ; . , • . A! - •' uow for the first, time in the histolY of Great .Bri ':....,:eAlrev'olution, the attempt is made to govern by t..e iousei of Commons alone. It isomly' by m eans . of tl,irpower i n th a t h o u s e that' the Melbourne admini stration ean 'entertain the - slightest hope of. success for their orojects mow under discussion. It may be said that the type lious,e has had no oppt.a . tunity of deciding. upon the character of the bill for the spoliation of the Church of Ireland; .but such an argument is too childish to merit a reply. There can be no doubt that the pterS wilt reject that measure. Will any of the ministers say that. they are uncertain what will be its tate in the upper house? No—thev are•satistied that it will be thrown out; and yet they push it forward as if the opposition of the lords were no obstacle in its way. Does not this circumstance fully justify us in asserting that ministers are desirous 'of plac ing the whole power of the legislature io the commons, to the virtual abrogation of a cu-equal constitutional au thority.? 13a~' will the House of Lords submit to this insolent dictation of a liberal ministry, supported though it: be by a majority in the House of Commons? We venture to think they will nut. At a period when circumstances were infinitely less favourable for the exercise of their power, thep•dared to exert it, and for a time successfully. They threW ,Out the reform bill, when the flame of ex citement extended 'from one end of the . country to the other- 7 -when the people were_lond in its support—when it was supported by the King—when it was advocated by the whole popular press—and; moreover, •when more than two-thirds of the . House of CommonS had recorded their votes in its favour. If the lords acted in this man ner then, whai, may we not expect' from them now—now when those circumstances are altogether or nearly re versed, in so far as the spoliation of the church of Ireland is concerned. The popular voice is not raised in support of that unprincipled and anti protestant measure7--the Monarch is notoriously averse to it—the "popular press" is.opposed to it—and parties in the House of Commons are so closely divided in opinion with respect to its lead ing principle, that it is even doubtful whether a bare majority will be secured in its favour. What then have the lords to fear ? where is the compelling necessity, such as existed on a former occasion, to carry a measure which they sincerely deprecate and condemn ? Are they to be told that they must bend their necks to the thirty papists who make up the majority of the House of,Commons ? that they must yield because "the tail" commands ?—that they, the assembled peemof , England, must crouch, "Mith bated breath and whispering humbleness," before the united Russells,. Humes, 'Gullys, Roebucks, O'Connells,.H arveys , M urrays , and. Gillons ? The idea is at once so ridiculous and revolting, that there can be only one opinion as to the result. The lords will reject the revolutionary principle, and let ministers adopt what ever course the King allows them to take. The one point to which matters are tending, surely • and steadily, cannot be overlooked—and that is, a dis solution of, the present parliament. There is no other : means by which the balance of government can be re stored. • This all parties admit. -So necessary a step, cannot much longer be delayed; and in expreSsing this belief, we only repeat what, we have said ever since we observed the, materials of which the House of Commons is now composed. But if any question previously existed upon this point, it is now completely set at rest by the registrations throughout the country. A vast accession of conservative voters will be added to the constituencies. There is no doubt that by their assistance the scale of parties in the lower house will be materially altered. and that the next. parliament will act in unison upon this measure, by repudiating its,principle altogether. With this prospect, the House of:Cords are aware, not only that they may with safety reject the,appropriation, but. that, in doing so, they will be greatly advancing the general cause of order and good government in the state. - It is not to be wondered that, in such circumstances, ministers are,beginning to tremble in their seats. Judg ing frorq the furious and vituperative ebullitions which, their,organs almost daily send forth, it is•difficult to sup pose that they are not at this moment ".setting their house in order." Suspected by the Monarch—OppOsed by the aristocracy—harassed by a numerous and - able party in the House of Commons—and detested by the peat body of the people, their downfall must. be near at hand ; nor rdo We think that such an event will be retard ed even by the most desperate enterprise which it is possible for whig duplicity and whig selfishneSs to con '.ceive or attempt.—Edinburgh svening Post. It is no joke to hold office under Mr. Daniel O'Con nell. There . are few sinecures about the agitator's court. The blindest4edience, servility the most abso-, lute,-are qualificationsy-With which he i s no t the man to , dispense in those who tender him their political allegi .ance. • ThechUrch of Rotne in the person of her haugh lie'sf'and most inexorable confessor exacts not from the, trembling 'penitent, a more abject prostration of- spirit, and understanding than the pensioned lay-tyrant Mr. Daniel O'Connell insists on from the Whig and radical.; tools'of his policy. A scene more disgusting than that which, occurred two nights ago in a certain house which shall be nameless, has never, we understand from those • who observed it, been witnessed by the Oldest person now alive, or spoken of in any traditio . n.extant. When the Attorney-General for Ireland informed' th e hobse that h e mean t to propose certain ainendments t o the clause of the Ii ish church bill, which authorized the reopening of the compositions, with a view to guard, by more precise and - equilable rules, the respective interests of the church and the parishioners, the tone in which a learned personage commanded the Atiotney-General to desist from his amendments was not - such, say our informants, as will be soon forgotten.— "Leave your amendments out ; it is an idle mockery to introduce all these things into the bill;" which amend ments, he afterwatds said, instead of tranquillizing the the people of Ireland; would by them be considered an, "additional insult." An thtditionat insult to the "peo ple of Ireland" means, of course, the slightest contraven tion of Mr. Daniel O'Connell's will ! Dearly have the • ministers paid" for this man's patro nage o f t h em an d o f. their government; deep has Ott iron entered into their .wincing souls.

THE TEA TRADE. On Monday the EaSt India Company's sale 'of teas which have remained uncleared. since the March sale took place at the India House, when there was rather a full attendance of the trade. Tie quantity of teas" upon which the required prompt had not been paid, and de clared for re sale, - was 487,000 -/bs., but a not i ce was issued . by ,the East:lndia C ompany. on S aturday, stating that only 96,700 lbs. would be offered. The-teas sold with some briskness, with the exception of about 28,000 Mr. Twining reported to the trade the result of the interview he and others, who had formed a deputation from the trade, had with the chancellor of the exchequer on Saturday last. The deputation had pressed upon government the policy of an immediate reduction of the high duty on fine teas' to 2d. ly /b., in order to relieve the trade from the injury it, as well as the • revenue, ) - would sustain, by the delay that would. occur hetere the permanent cliange,to a fixed scale of duty should -be made. Mr. Twining . informed the trade that the chancellor-of :the exchequer. received the statements made on behalf of the reduction of the duty with much attention, but ccuid Inot consent, unless the trade sanctioned an additional - iduty . being placed on the second grade,of teas, raising it q 2s. 2 1 4.' lb„ in order that the• revenue might be protected from loss. Mr. S. Rice assured the deputation that the subject should be fully considered. The trade are led to expect, from the favourable nature of the inters ieit that the concession asked will be granted. The tea trade is in a mere active state in consequence, and the deliveries of East India Company 's and p:rivate' trade teas last week were considerable. THETFORD WOOL FAIR. The above fair held on Friday last, was fully attended • by penions in the trade. Upwards of 200 dined, Air. Coke in the chair. After the usual • toast's :and apologies 16r those absent, Mr. WhitWorth' (the' ini.ebtor of innueula torY. paStute,.wh'o ,was present) charged the woolbuyers of Lincoln - with playin g a deep trick. Being rebuked by Mr. Coke for making the charge, he said the dealers were employed in running down . the 'long . vs.ol'of cohishire, his county, allhou'alr there was a good . traoe in the articles made from it, M. Elliman, who was present, said that the sales of , wool in London that week would amount to £400,000. He hoped the next day to have an interview with the Duke of Richmond, %vit . ° had taken great pains to bring the French governMent to a fair re ciprocity in the wool trade, th e admission duty upon our wool being 22 per cent.. Mr. Fison said he. had lately been at a house in London where wool to the amount of £15,000 was prepared to be smuggled, into France through Belgium ; at a premium of 15' per cent. Mr. Waller (a dealer) made mentirui of the honourable con duct of Mr. Coke, who, on a ccount o f hi s J oss on e year, returned him £l2O, ? Mr. Coke off ere d his wool to Mr. hoggets ,25..* lb., ewe wool Is: 3d., which Mr. Waller accepted; and bought Captain Fitzroy's clip at the same price. The Duke, of Norfolk's wool was offered at 38s..and 545., but refused. Several off•rs were I Made to the buyerS, but the reply was that they were ready to sell the wool bought last year at a loss. Mr. Ellman'tO this replied that there appeased to bin, to be a' e4 n thination among the buyers not to hid over one ano-' tiler. Mr. Fison declared to the contrary; that their agent at Bradford had .sold w oo l at a halfpenny and a pennv a pouwA less than he would have taken when he. left. Mr. Coke expressed himself in similar terms to Mr. Ellman. This Was denied by Mr. Baldry, who Charged Mr. Ellman with appearing there last year, and stating prices to have been given in Sussex Which. had, never been realised. Mr. Ethan threw back. the . imputation with 'disdain. Much c on f us i on t h en arose, in somuch that Mn Coke left the chair, and the meeting• bt 2 oke up 'abruptly.., Mr. Powell and Sir C. Clarke sold their wool out of the room at 50s and 35;5, THE BALTIC TRADE. In consequence of the delay which has frequently ta ken place in the delivery of letters by the Hamburg!' mail, a letter was addressed by the Secr e t ar y o f t h e Com mittee of Merchants engaged in the Baltic and other trades to Six Francis Freeling upon the su,bject. The letter stated that on occasions of late nearly four hours had elapsed from the time of the arrival of the Hamburg!' maili and the period when the . letters were delivered, which had occasioned great inconvenience, to the mer chants, and that on the arrival of the last Hambirrgli mail the letters were not delivered until seven o'clock in the evening, by wind) numerous orders were left uncom pleted till the following day. The following letter was received from Sir Francis Freeling upon the subject : • "General Post-office, July 21, 1835. "Sir,—lnimediately on the receipt, of your letter of yester: day, I made the necessary inquiries upon the subject to which it refers, and I beg to acquaint you that, in consequence of the large additional influx of foreign and ship letters, the departure of the letter-carriers from hence, which is always later on Mon day, was still more so yesterday, and the return of a part of them to prepare for a second deliver) , was proportionably re tarded, which prevented an earlier hour being fixed for the distribution of the Hamburgh "The Postmaster-General is most anxious to afford all possi ble facilities in this respect to the merchants of London, and, since the former occurrence to which you shade, he had ordered arrangements to be made to facilitate the delivery of foreign mails arriving tate in the day.

Pau:EL:NG, Sec. "TO W. Wilson, jun., Eq., Baltic Coffee-house." EXPLOSION OE THE EARL GREY STEAMER. (From the G1ay, ,, 010 Courier.), FURTHER PARTICULARS.—Th e spectators on the quay suffered severely.. When the top flew. off the boiler, the steam and water, coils of rope,. fragments- of iron and timber, large pieces olcoal, &e. were blown on the quay, and fell fifty. and sixty yards from the vessel. A number of the people were knecked down, and were instantly. covered with boiling water, or severely hurt by the fall. ing missiles. Two young men belonging to * Greenock, of the names of M'K e ll ar ( son of Captain WlCellar,. Samson steamer), and M'Nee -(step-son of Mr. William Wvse, grocer), were dreadfully scalded. All the sufferers were either taken on board of the steamers lying at the quay, or to houses adjoining:, and medical uid was sect for., and vehicles to carry the wounded to the infirmary. ,Although the explosion was great, and heard all Over the town, still nothing was known of the accident by the in habitants generally, until the . unfortunate sufferers were on the shoulders o f men, or in noddies to the in firmary. Dr. Bruce, the only medical gentleman who visited the spot, rendered every assistance in his power.• Many-of the ladies who were passengers, and escaped un hurt, but who had friends ands elations on board, and whose fate was uncertain, were in a state of delirium, and were removed to the inns arid hotels. • A coil of rope, and a large quantity of other things, alighted on the roof of the watchhouse, about fifty .or . sixty yards from the Earl Grey, and the. iron-grating. which covered the Coalhole was carried a greater dis tance, and fell Within. a few yards of the west corner of the Custom-house; fortunately no person was in its way, else death would have beenthe consequence. Letter from Paisley—l find that M essrs. Caldwell and Barclay (not Barkland, as reported in our last) were in the Earl Grey at the time of the accident. " Mr. Barclay is. slightly scalded in the face, but Mr. James Caldwell has not been any way injured. Saturday the . Sheriff ordered the valves and other small: parts of the boiler ashore, for the purpose of assisting the' judicial investigation going on. It is reported that the. weights were allowed to remain on the valve the whole tune (said to be tcn minutes) that she lay at the quay, for the purpose ofaCcumulating steam, and thus causing the catastrophe. Great blame, doubtless, is attributable somewhere. GREENOCK, MONDAY AFTERNOON.—There have been no more bodies got, nor is it probable that any more will cast up •for some time, as the powerful current of the river passes. over that part of the harbour where. the. cata strophe occurred; consequently nothing- that would at. all float, could remain there many minutes. Had those, however, who were 'precipitated into the water been blown upon the. quay, the number. of lives lost would have been muchgreater. The only two individuals who were thrown ashore (Wilkie and Watson) were both killed in consequence of. falling heavily on the stones. .Regarding• the latter, it may be remarked, that just a minute before the explosion, ire had been sitting with his wife and two friends in the steWard's room, taking a glass of porter, but went on deck to look after a trunk whiCh lie hall in charge to Glasgow, and he had not been there many seconds when the accident took place which instantly depriyed him of existence. Had the catastrophe. occurred on • the previous clay, when, on account of the Fast, there were twenty people for one on the deck and on the quay than were on Friday evening, the conse quences would have been still more fearful and destruc tive. We were in a trivial error, when we stated in our last that the Earl they came from Rothesay on the day of the accident : the mistake was occasioned from not knowing- that, till lately, Rothesay was her station; but we learn that within these few weeks past she has been plying between Kilmun and Dunoon, and the Inter • mediate places, to Glasgow.—W e s h ou ld ha ve a dd e d , that Mrs. \Vatson escaped unhurt, though the fright she sustained has somewhat affected her mind, being on . Saturday incapable of recognising any of her relatives, talking wildly and incoherently. • When the explosion occurred the people on the quay ran back. A tar who was present rushed forward, when. he.saw the surface of the sea covered with human beings, and heroically sprang off the quay, and caught hold of a .fragment of the deck, and then swam to' the_ assistance of • an old gentleman, who wa# 'apparently. on the eve of sinking, and succeeded in bringing him on shore after considerable ditculty. This brave fellow sailed in the .ship. Ann Grant, on a foreign voyage, on Sunday, although he was urged to decline sailing until a subscrip tion should be entered into to reward him for his bravery in rescuing a fellowLoreature from a watery grave.— " No," said Jack, "I did nothing but was right, and I want nothing for it." His name we did not learn, but we understand that he is a stranger in the port. A Mr. Anderson, belonging toGlasgow, had a narrow escape; he was standing leaning his chin on the muzzle of a double-barrelled gun just at the time when the ex plosion took place. The gun was blown to pieces, and only the stock and lock have been found. He was very much injured apd . cut about the face, but we are glad to say was able to be removed to Glasgow on Sunday, as were also a number of the other sufferers. In addition to the- particulars above given, we have just learned that Mrs. Dr. Mitchell, with Mr. and Mts. Robert Moncrieff, had gone.down on Friday morning as far as Gourock, and .having spent part of the day with mutual friends, th e y . were on the i r way home. Upon going,into the boat they had providentially taken their seats near the helmsman, close by each other. Afterthe moment of the awful catastrophe, and when involved. in confusion and smoke, Mrs. Mitchell felt herself-not ma tertally injured„ - but saw her niece, Mrs. Moncrieff, with her head thrown. back upon the railing, covered up with deals of wood, and when - extricated she - was found quite . insensible and apparently dying. Mr. Moncrieff„ sitting below her, was thrown i n t o t h e water, w iih .a severe cut on the back. of his head, but kept himself afloat till picked up. Mrs. Mitchell's impression is, that there were at this period none left on the quarter deck except,herself and :Mrs. INlOncrieff.. Mr. and:Mrs. NrOucrieff are rapidlV.re- Coveting ; Mrs. Mitchell, i - s, slightty scalded on the face and bruised on ,the,arrns . , The proprietor'poihtdij, states that the engine of the Earl Grey •Was'not constructed-on the high pressure prin 'ciple, as has been reported. There can be no doubt that the explosion-w - as caused by an over pressure of steam ; ' but whether occasioned by the safety valve accidentally going wrong, or its being overloaded, is not yet ascer tained. THE 'FEMALE SAILOR. It is with sincere pleasure we record the following instance of His Majesty's generosity towards this extraordinary indi tidual. Soon after her return to her native town, Donegal, she Was attacked by fever, and, being in a distressed situation, seine friends suggested that, if she petitioned the King, His Majesty, as a brother chip, would probably relieve her. She accordingly did so, sending her petition, under cover, to the :Marquis Wellesley, and she had the satisfaction to find that it was im mediately attended to, for an application was made through Colonel D'Aguilar, Adjutant-General for Ireland, to the Rev. Richard Homan,. rector of Donegal, respeeting her circum stances and moral character. Mr. Homan's reply was strongly in her favour, and the gentleman received the following note last week from Sir H. Wheatley, from which it will be seen that His Majesty, with his characteristic beneficence, has been pleased to direct that the sum of £lO per annum be hencefor ward paid to the female sailor out of the privy purse : • "TO THE !LEV. RICHARD ItoMAN. " St James's Palace, July 9.

ORGANS. —The first mention of an organ which is to be found (in our N'ohhern Chronicles) is A.D., 757, when Constantine Cupronynaus, Emperor of the East, sent to the King of France “'ep,in,) among other new presents, a ma4ical machine, which theFierich 4 - riters describe to have been composed of pipes and large tubes of tin, and to have imitated sonietiines the roaring of thunder and sometimes the soft warbling of a flut e .

CASI 4; OP BANCAL. (From the Gazette des Tribunaux.) On Saturday came on fur trial, before the Court of Assize of Paris, the extraordinary case of Stephen Pros per Bancal, a surgeon in the navy, accused of having premeditatedly put to death his mistress,. Madame Prior land. The prisoner, a young man of small but well pro portioned stature, with a handsome coUntenance and very black hair and beard, entered the court (crowded almost to suffocation) with faltering steps, and, either from 'over powering emotion or embarrassment at having every. eye intently fixed upon him; sank down - upon the seat ap-• peopriated to the prisoners, awl seemed lust to all around him for some minutes. After the act of accusation, or indictment, had been read, the president proceeded to interrogate the pri soner : • From what period were you acquainted with Madame Priol laud ?—Sinee 1825. Was therenota correspondence between you and her ?—That was later; in 1827. Was therenotavery close intimacy between y ou ? Did you not "thee" and" thou" each other ?—Yes, Sir Who caused this correspondence to cease?—lt was no doubt her husband that was opposed to it. Were you not married at Senegal?—No, Sir, I lived as other guropearis did: Have you not several children ?—One only . You saw'Madaine Priolland again in 1831? Yes, Sir; till then Madame Priollaud had nut forgotten her duties. Did you not eudeav3ur to form a criminal connexion with her? —No, Sir. 13ut it could not be Madatue - Priolland, living quietly in the midst of her family, who first fiirmed the idea of self-destruc tion: She had her mother and her daughter, for whom she_ evinced the greatest tenderness, and their affection must have attached her to existence?—She had:Motives for leaving it. But she had a great affection for her daughter, and we have a proof of it in the letter she wrote to the uustress of the board ing school where the child was placed. A person who could Write suet. a letter would Out resolve on being put to death with out being strongly excited to it. Was it you who endeavoured to inspire Madame Priolland with your iueas of suicide?—No i Sir. Have you not often said, that to die with her you loved was the dream of your life?—'That is true.. Did yott nut cominuoicate that idea to Madame Priolland ? No', Sir. Among your papers, copies and ext rac t s o f various r9marices have been found. Were they not made tor the purposeof being cominunicated to Madame Pliollinn?—No, Sir. Here is 'one passage :—" 1 could . wish to live tnr one'hour the life of angels, the first, perhaps the last." Why did' you copy this_piaSsage , ?—lt seetned to me to express a pure idea. ' Whether was it you or Maclaine PriolLitid who first mani fested the de - sire to commit suicide ? Madame Priolland. As fur me, I should never have thought that such an idea could have entered the mind of a woman. That is also the prosecutor's idea. What did you answer . when she spoke to you' in this way ?—That I thought a luau tmight have courage to carry such a project into execution, but not a woman. Did you endeavour to divert her mind from such ideas?. Sir, I considered it a mere joke. Did you speak to her of what you called the dream of your life?—Nu, Sir, it was she who first spoke to m e o f it; and when I expressed a doubt of a woman's having courage to execute such an idehi, she struck me on the hand, saying, .‘ We sh a ll see who will first draw back." —No, On what occasion had you this convers:tion ?—lt was in read ing. an article in a newspaper — where two . young persons, who loved each other as we did, killed themseh;es, after passing eight days together in the country. ' What sort of death did she choose?—We passed all sor t s i n 'review, and we resolvedon that which appeared to her to be the least painful. • Had the criminal Connexion bet Ween you and .Madame Pd. °band commenced at Angouleme?—:No, Sir. 'Where did you meet ?—At Poitiers. Had you then resolVed on what you were to do?—A11 was pre pared. Had you not purchased the acetate of morphine, and was it not •to make use of it ? Yes,• Sir, in case the blood-letting should not suffice. Were you provided with money?—Yes, 'Sir, I had four hun dred francs. But you must have known that such a sum would not have enabled you to remain any time iu Paris?-Madame Priollaud had also some money. Did you not receive from her a sum of one thousand francs? —When she proposed to me that we should die together, I told her that I was under engageuients, and that I could not agree to die until they were fulfilled; she then offered me the means of paying these debts, and I accepted it. But this tuoney was not the property of Madame Priolland, it belonged to her children?—l thought it belonged to Madame Priolland. After you had enclosed this money in a leter to your mother, which you put in the post-office on the 23d of. March, what did you do?-1 r..!turned to the hotel, and placed myself alongside Madame Priolland, when s h e sa id to hie, " We must be g i n ." ' I answered, " We have stilt time enough," to which she le plied, " But do you not recollect that you told me that it 'Would probably take a long tiuie," and she again added, "we must begin:" Here the prisoner dropped upon the seat, and let his head fall between his hands. Alter a short time he rose up, when the president asked him, In what manner did you begin ?—She told the servant of the hotel to bring a fuot bath and water, into which, after she had heated the water, she put her feet, and I opened soine of the veins in theiri; the blOod flowed in great abundance, and she fainted away. Here the prisoner's emotion became so great as to prevent him for some moments from continuing. On recovering him self, he continued thus:—l raised her up and placed her on the bed, and put a bandage over the Wounds, as she was unwilling that the bed or her clothes should be stained with blood. I then endeavoured to arrange her dress iu the manner that she wished to be placed in the coffin. What took place next? —Seeing the time advance, and that she had no appearance of'dying, I took a scalpel and directed it towards her heart, but recollecting that she expressed a wish not to die by that means, I threw it aside, and waiting till she came to herself, I then proposed to her to take the acetate of mor phine. She consented, and I divided the poison into two equal portions, one of which she took, and I the other. I thought our last moment was near, and we lay together on the bed for two or three hours, in that kind of intoxication generally produced by acetate of morphine. The'prisoner, after stating that they both threw up the poison, said, " I then asked her if she dished to recover. She replied ' No,' and asked me to divide one of her arteries. I attempted - to do so, but my hand trembled's° violently that I could nut completely succeed. I then stabbed myself with a scalpel, and I took a pleasure in beholding my blood floW. When she saw it, she said, 'Stop! fur if, you should faiut away,eve shall never be able to - finish: ' (Here the prisoner was again obliged, by overpowering emotion, to interrupt his statement, and sit down for a short time. On again rising, he continued in the follow ing terms :—" I again asked her if she did not wish to live?" To which she replied, ' No,' and said, " I see we must have recourse to the means you spoke of.' I then looked for the scalpel, and did not find it for some time, as it had fallen under the bed. On seeing it in my hand she said, ' Now, we must finish, eor they will soon be comity here.' I then stabbed her, bat the blow was too feeble, 'dry hand was so unsteady. I-then stabbed myself, and we lay for some time thinking that all was nearly•over, but she at length recovered herself, and said, I do nut feel that I am dying; you must try again, but take care that the next blow is a good one.' I then stabbed her a second time, when she said, Ah, that one is good!' and pressed my hand." Here the prisoner fell quite exhausted upon the seat, buried his face m his hands, and gave way to convulsive sobbing, the only sound that interrupted the silence of horror that prevailed through the court. After some moments' interval a lancet and scalpel, stained with blood, was shown to the prisoner, who re cognised them as those he had put Madame Priolland to death with. The first witness examined was M. Casinecasse, the friend of Bancal, who had dined with him and Madame Priolland, and passed the evening until ten O'clock with th em t h e night of her death. He stated that during that evening Madame Priolland appeared more cheerful than usual, whilst Bancal, on the con trary, was serious ,and pensive. This witness also deposed to several attempts made by the prisoner to destroy himself shire the death of Madame Priolland, TwO or three surgeons who were also examined, stated; that the wound s i n fli cte d upon him self by the priStin ee must have proved fatal had he not been suc coured in time. The keeper of the hotel where the prisoner and Madame Priolland lodged stated, that not the slightest suspicion of their intentions could have been entertained in tie hotel, as they ap peared so happy and contented that the general remark of the servants was,. " What a gay and' a happy coup l e they were. They had been to the opera a few days before the catastrophe, and even the very day that it took place Madame Priolland was heard singing some of the airs of La Sylphide. M. Plougoulth addressed the jury at great length, in support of the indictment, and strongly insisted upon the necessity of a Tcrtlict of guilty ; at the same time leaving it. to tke. jury to accumpiany such verdict with a declaration of alleviating cir- Cuaistances. After a speech from M. Hardy, the prisoner's counsel, and .a recapitulation of the evidence by the president, the two fol lc,wing counts were submitted to the. jury z-1. Is Stephen Prosper Bancal guilty of havi ng comm i tte d , w i t h premeditation, a voluntary homicide upon the person of Madame Priolland? 2. Is he guilty of having attempted the life of Madame Priol land by means of a substance capable of producing death ? At a (patter to ten at night the jury retired, and at ten minutes after eleven they returned into court, and gave in a verdict of Not Guilty on both counts. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. SEA SERPENT IN LAKE ONTARIO. By the following extract from the Kingston Whig, of the 16th instant, it will be observed that the great water serpent, which was " nut seen" lately at Detroit, is on his way to visit us, We do not see why we have not as good a right. to tell snake stories in Canada as our friends " do wn east " . Our office has been' favoured with a visit from Captain A. Kellogg, of the schooner Polyphemus, of 4.;acketes, arrived this morning from Rochester. 1 his gentieman has related to us such a tale of wonder, /t tale so incredible, that we scruple some, as the Yankees say, in laving his narration before our readers, lest they might think it fiut the creation of our imagination. Captain Kellogg states that, yesterday evening (June 15th), about seven o'cl o ck, as h e was making f,ir Kingston Harbour, the " Ducks" bearing N. by W.•distant two mileS, he saw sorne thing lying still on the weather-bow that looked like the mast • of a vessel. Observing it more attentively, he was surprised and alarmed to see it in motion, and steering towards the schoon er. Singing out to his hands to take care of tbeinselves, he put the schooner up to the wind, lashed the helm a-lee, and run up the main rigging, waiting for the monster to approach. The serpent, for it was no other than an immense'snake, neared the vessel fast, and passed immediately under the stern, taking no notice whatever of the schooner or those on board, but affording to every budy an ampl e opportunity to observe and note his monstrous dimensions. In length he was about 78 feet, of a dark blue colotn, spotted with brown; towards either end he tapered off, but about the middle his body was of the circumfer ence of a tlour-barrel. His head was peculiarly small, and could not well be distinguished but from the direction in which he ino . - wed. He swam with an undulating movement, keeping best part of his body under water, but oeccsiou ally showing his en tire length. He was in sight full fifteen minutes, and when last seen was making the best of his way down the St. Lawrence. On board the schooner were two young Men, the vessel's crew, together with three passengers, who are all willing to be quali fied to the truth of what has been here stated."—Canada paper. It is stateq . .injbe ," Life of Sir James Mackintosh," that lie o►lce remarked of Gibbon that,he might have been cut out of a cOiner of But ke's mind without his missing it. importo.
