The many-headed monster —neve appreciate and make " Jessonda " its own. It is a splen did addition to the first repertoire in the world. The QUEEN, you have heard, does not prorogue Parlia ment in person. Quite right. She has no time. There is to be a week in Dublin, the Corporation of which are to be invited to dine with HEU MAJESTY at the Vice-regal Lodge ; after that—Balmoral. Mine host of the Trafalgar, of Greenwich, will have his charcoal and stewpans in order for next Saturday, the Ministerial fish dinner day—the usual prelude to prorogation ; but I have been at the fish dinner a full fortnight before the close of Parliament could be accomplished. Never did a Ministry more thirst for relief than the present. A couple of weeks ago, I told von that the 25th of August was the day appointed for say the 20th. I still hold the finale. Some of t Two or thre TGN'S not proroguing always leads to and the fact of the SOVEREL uncertainty as to a day or two. The fish dinners now are poor, cold —mean, dull affairs. During all the long rule, or mis-rule, Whichever you like, of the whips, their magnificent white bait dinners were enough to redeem their evil doings for a Session. Fox MAULE, now Lord PANMIIRE, and " Yes and No," " Matilda" NORMA.NBY, as near fast livers as prudence would permit, generally faced each other. Fox MIT; LE i n th e c h a i r . For three hours fun and frolic was the order—a bit of a song also—the interests of the country were left to them selves. The Whig Ministers used to stroll about the garden of the tavern, playing all sorts of tricks ; I verily think they would have had pipes and batty, but for de cency. I remember, at one of the feeds, during the usually dismal half hour in England before dinner, NORMANDY and Fox m ATILB got hold of a huge buffer of a turtle, which was creeping lazily about the garden ; a child was enjoying the fun, MAULS took the lad up and placed him astride the turtle, touched the latter under the raw—he has his tender parts even out of the pot—and made Master Turtle wriggle a triumphant circle of the garden with the boy on his back. Now, these Whi gs are getting old ; NORMANDY is obliged to go to G ermany to drink the stinking water there, and PANMITRE, long kept out of his patrimony, is in Forfarshire killing rabbits, . The Conservative fish dinners are or time, or anything dearer and duller (I am sorry to say) than those of the Whigs, but far more respectable. They have always plenty of carriages to take one home. The Whigs 'bus it back. Every one connected with the business of parliament, peers comm ons, newspaper-men, even little ministers, L ea ded WILLIAMS, who guards the run dy-tundy, turmP -- en t ran ce to the commons chamber, is heartily sick and tired of the unprec e d en tedly prolonged session, now, thank the Fates, fast drawing to a close. Many of the most active and valuable members of the representative body have left town already, in anticipation of the prorogation, the great majority of those remaining at their posts, with of faithful sentinels, having no other all ra ir e view than the arrangement of a little their own account" with Mr. HATTER, business e arthly the objectaea on the immaculate Secretary to the Treasury and dispenser general of patrone for the goeent.

This indi vidual -boring for places is ba d en ough ; but it is sweet as hon e y , delicious as seltzer water and Ch a bli s onasnysu day t ii o newrh'siohfortunate when compared with th e depu tation-huntingun Mr. HATT ER i s sub , ject. An applicant for place comes up to town, and happening to have eight or ten parliamentary friends, he solicits the favor of their interference. Th ey all promise, but none of them will weaken their chances of success for other parties about whom they are interested, by making separate personal application for the latest arrival. They will join in any request, or back up any recommendation which ,any other member Chooses to originate, but to put in a personal demand for the fulfil ment of the country individual's requirements, is just the ' thing which none of them will do. In this dilemma, the place-hunter fancies it would be a master-stroke of policy , if he could bring all his friends together, and persuade ' them to wait on Mr. HATTER in a body. The idea he conceives to be a grand one, and success now appears cer tain. Down he goes to the Central Hall of the. House of • Commons, through which the members must pass on • their way to the chamber or to the library. After waiting there four or five hours, he sees the most of his friends, e and they agree to wait on Mr. HATTER en masse. In the secretary's little rsom behind the Commons post-office the interview takes Owe, lasting some ten or fifteen minutes, each deputationist saying something commonplace for the a candidate, and Mi. HATTER declaring that he will give v the matter the most favourable consideration." One day last e week, while engaged in . looking for confirmation of some important political news I had heard, when breakfasting at the Reform Club, I saw no less than nine of those e deputations formed; and the same number of interviews e sought with Mr. HATTER. But these deputations are the L . veriest shams in existence, and the man whose solicitation ll for government place is laid before Mr. HATTER, or any other member of the executive, in that manner, has not g the most remote chance of success. Mr. HATTER thinks $ the whole affair a right good joke. He knows that the Ls ceremony is performed to satisfy the place applicant, and when the deputation withdraws, he thinks no more about the matter; indeed, I believe there is no instance on ,e record pf pn appointment having been conceded to the ap. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER. parently earnest request of a deputation—one good mein• ber is worth fifty deputations of five hundred members each. And if any of our Lancashire friends have claims on the present government, I strongly recommend them to avoid the deputation system just as they would the Upas tree. _ There appears to be an impression in the Clubs, Con servative as well as Liberal, that Parliament will as irly in November ; and that the RUSSELL-ABERDEEN Administration ari to the permanent establishment of such a ,ble lutumnal .e favoilra. Ithering, with the view of rendering rolongation of the ord;-- unnecessary the session beyond the' first iveek in July. A de has been got up by Mr. GEANTLEY BERKELEY, One Of the Government whips, and it has already received the signature of nearly three hundred members. Some prac tical men have given it as their opinion that the expe riment will fail, but in my mind the success or failure will depend very much on the use to which Government will put the short preliminary session. Of course, if the Com mons are to be called together in November for the pur pose of indulging in speechmaking up to Christmas, Mr. BERKELEY'S plan will do more harm than good ; but if it be devoted by Ministers to making substantial advances with a series of measures, then great must be its advan tage ; and I hope it may be adopted, if for no other reason than that it will save us from the agony of sitting in the pestilential atmosphere of the House during the sweating nights and mornings of July and. August. Glancing through the parliamentary reports, you will not have failed to observe that many of the measures which are under the immediate care of the Home Office, have been introduced into Parliament by white-headed 808 LOWE, one of the Vice-Presidents of the Board of Control, and by him conducted through the respective stages. This Circumstance has given rise to a good deal of speculation, and the majority of people, either in doors or out of doors, can't understand why the business of one depart ment should be transacted by the subordinate of another. The fact of the matter is simply this,—Lord PALMERSTON, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, won't work. Since his return to power he has become mon strous lazy, seldom or ever going near his office, and, if the, story which his friends tell be true, absolutely falling asleep at Cabinet Councils; when Russian aggression on Danubian Principalities forms the subject of deliberation. The sub-Secretary for the Home Department is labouring under a treacherous malady, and his physicians having some regard for his life, peremptorily impose absence from the House of Commons. His conflict with the London cabmen, and the excitement consequent on the strike which his legislation brought about, have rendered him LUUre than ever a at subject for the sinllnl and watchful physician's hands; and hence it is that' Bob LOWE, one of the Time*' leader-writers, is obliged to represent the Home office in the House f Commons. It strikes me very forcibly that, as the CIIANCELLOR of the D'uorrY of LANCASTER has nothing in the world to do but eat, drink, sleep, and take his salary, the office should be conferred on Lord PALMERSTON. In the Home office he is out of his element, and in the Foreign departmenthe has already proved himself no faithful minister of the-Crown. mr of such a project JoiNSA.DLIER, the Junior Lord of the Treasury, and recently returned to Parliament as representative for the pure borough of Sligo, is a lucky bird. There have been no less than three petitions presented against his ele4tiou, each alleging various acts of bribery, corruption, intimi dation, Hanlyism, and I know not what beside, but the recognizances in all three cases are insufficient in point of value, or defective in point of form, and therefore fatal to the progress of the inquiry which Mr. SOMERS, the defeated candidate, seemed bent on prosecuting. Mr. SADLIER'S seat is therefore secure, and Messrs. LUCAS, DUFFY, and GRAY, may now bark until they are black in the face. COMMERCIAL 4 MONETARY NEWS, MONDAY NIGHT. ALTHOUGH the commerce of Great Britain may be considered in a most satisfactory state, owing to the steadiness of prices, the continued demand, and the absence of all tendency to feverish speculation, the long-protracted negotiation on the affairs be tween Russia and Turkey, and the uncertainty which still exists as to the issue, have had rather a serious effect upon monetary affairs. This is owing in some measure to the various contradictory re ports received by electric telegraph, which have tended to weaken public confidence, and the conse quence has been a decline in the value of Public Securities to a lower point than they have reached for a considerable time past. Something is also owino., no doubt, to the continued demand for specie as shown by another decrease in the stock of bullion in the Bank of England, arising, probably, from the arrivals from Australia being smaller than were anticipated. The uncertainty as to the productive ness of the approaching harvest has also not been without its effect, and these combined causes have led to an increase in the rates of discount. It was by some expected that the Directors of the Bank of England would have raised their minimum rate of discount from 3i to 4 per cent., but Thursday passed over without any change being announced. While we allude to these various causes as having probably operated injuriously on monetary affairs, and. thereby tended to restrict commercial opera tions, we are of opinion that many of them may prove to be groundless. We have endeavoured to show, in a leading article, the reasons for believing that political affairs in the East will not result in a resort to hostilities ; the favourable change in the weather must have removed many of the apprehen sions as to the coming harvest, and in the next place the subsequent receipts of gold and the arrivals expected will, no doubt, speedily place the resources of the Bank of England upon a more satisfactory basis. A few days more may serve materially to alter the aspect of affairs, and the money-markets, relieved from the pressure of doubt, exhibit a buoyancy which will more than counteract the present depression. The attempt of the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER to partially retrieve the failure of his financial scheme by giving to trustees who are bound to invest, the power to accept his proposed conversion has met with more opposition than it seems to deserve,. There is no doubt that in the present position of affairs any attempt at conversion is utterly hopeless, but a reaction might enable him to rally so fares not to render his pro posed saving a positive loss. The reports from Manchester state that al though there has been some inaction, owing to• the unsettled state of affairs in the East, prices -, have been firmly maintained; more particularly for the home-trade goods and yarns. Indeed, business appears to be on a most satisfhctory basis, and the settlement of the Russo-Turkish question, which is now immediately anticipated, wffl no doubt add ma terially to the buoyancy of the market. The turn out at Stockport is at length brought almost to a conclusion,, owing, in a great measure, to the de mands for manufactured goods leaving the masters no alternative than to submit to the demands of the operatives. From the other manufacturing districts the reports are of a similar character, prices being steadily maintained, notwithstanding. a temporary inaction.. The official,- returns relating to the trade and na vigation of the United Kingdom have been made up for the month and six months ending July 5. In all the principal staples there has been a large increase of imports, taking the months, as com pared with the corresponding periodi of last year, but flour is oneexception. The month's imports of rum, tobacco, wine, and sheep's wool are larger; but in cotton; brandy, tea, and tallow there is a de crease. The exports show a great increase upon the month in cotton manufactures, Ems, metals, beer, and ale, coals, and some other articles. The result is, that during the month ended - July 5, the exports were £6,772,733, being an increase of £1,003,637. The six months' exportS amount to £41,866,557, an augmentation of £8,317,165. The vessels eivaged in the foreign trade gave a tonn, ge of 697,311, being an increase of nearly 100,000 tons, and in this-increase the ships in the United Kingdom and its dependencies count for about 63,000 tons. These are the entries inwards, and the outward clearances are almost equally large, although the scarcity of shipping has . caused the increase to be less conspicuous in British vessels. It should, however, be borne in mind that this vast amount of exports has been entirely owing to the discovery of gold in our colonies, andi the conse quent tide of emigration which has sets in from this country, as also from many European , states, thus creating an almost inexhaustible demand for articles of general consumption. - The return from,the Bank of England for the week ending the 30th of July gives.the following results, when compared with the previous week Public deposits £2,175,265; Inerease £ 325,607 Other deposits ... 12,755,038; Deerease 424,800 Rest •• • 3,248,703; Inerease 5,122 On the other ski - I)A' the account-- Government securities £13,337,333; Decrease £200,000 Other securities ... 12,466,213; Decrease 86,800 Notes unemployed 7,870,510; Increase 137,515 The amount of notes in circuiatibiris £23,352,290, being a decrease of £274,800; and the stock of bullion in both departments is £17,739,107, showing a decrease or £90,172, when compared with the preceding return..

COTTON.--The fears of war, the‘ depression in the public funds, and the tightness-of the money market have operated to produce a slight re-action, owing to the manufacturers who have purchased freely . of late, having withheld. their orders for a time, in order to watch the effect of circumstances upon holders. The latter,, however,, have not felt inclined to give Way, though; for American the turn is in favor of the buyers, but Brazilian may be quoted rather dearer. The. sales during the week ending Friday were only 44,210 bales, of which 3,960 were for sp ecu l a ti on and 6 ,860 for export., On Saturday the demand continued limited, the sales amounting only to 5,000 bales, including " 1,000 on speculation and for export. TO-DAY there has been a much better inquiry, the transactions reaching 10,000 bales, of which 4,000 are on specu lation and for export, with a firmer 'market. 1 SALES. r ascitipTlON. PRICES.

WooL.—The business of the:week has not been) quite so active, aid holders are more inclined to meet the market; this may be amounted for partly from the warlike appearance whichthe Russian ques tion has presentedrand which, added to the tighten ing of the money market, have produced a more cautious clisposition-ainoni manufacturers, who are still consuming at a full average rate, and will very shortly be compelled to come into the market more freely.

The latest news received' gives a more favourable account of the Eastern question, which will have its effect on the market. POLICE-COU.RT, YESTERDAY. WATCH ROBBERY IN BitowNLow.hrm..—A young man, named John Walker, was charged by William Roberts with robbing the prosecutor of his watch, on Saturday evening last. The prosecutor stated that, whilst he was walking up Brown low-hill, on Saturday evening, he was attacked by the pri soner, who held him whilst a woman, who was in company with the prisoner, took his watch. The woman ran away, and was successful in escaping with the watch. The prisoner also made off after the robbery bad been effected; but was pursued by the prosecutor, and was ulthiiately taken into custody. Mr. Bluck, solicitor, defended the prisoner, and endeavoured to prove that the prisoner was not the man. The magistrates, however, considered the charge proved, and committed the prisoner for three months. ESCAPE OF A PRISONER FROM THE POLICE-COURT.—Yes terday, a young man, named Troy Wallace, was brought up at the Police-court, in the magistrates' room, charged with stealing two mantles. After the hearing of the case, the magistrates-decided to commit the prisoner for trial, and the witnesses repaired to a. table at one end of the room, for the purpose of having their depositions taken down in writing. This is always done in the presence and hearing of the accused ; and the prisoner in the present case accompanied the witnesses to the table, in charge of police-officer 34. Whilst the depositions were being taken, the police-officer, much to the astonishment of the bench and others present, wildly rushed out of court, when it was discovered that the prisoner had coolly walked out of the room, and made his es cape, unobserved by the officer, who at the time was attend ing to one of the witnesses'statements. The officer's endea vours to discover the prisoner within the precincts of the court were fruitless. The "gaol bird" had flown, and up to the time ofour going to press last night, had not been recaught. ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY.—A young woman, named Ann Shepherd, a servant in the employ of Mrs. Robinson, residing in Duke-street, was charged with stealing a quantity of jewel lery and wearing apparel, the property of her mistress.. The stolen articles were found in the prisoner's box. The pri soner had nothing to say in her defence, and, as the prosecu trix was about to sail for Australia, the prisoner was com mitted for two months. . . ~• GAROTTE ROBBERY.—Thomas Sampson was charged by a person named Richard Morgan, with attacking him on Satur day night, along with another man and a woman, and robbing him or a gold watch valued at It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor that, about ten o'clock on Satur day evening, he went into an entry in Camden-street. At the time, the prisoner and the other man and woman were at the bottom of the entry. The prosecutor had not been in the entry many moments before the prisoner and the other man rushed upon him, and, whilst the prisoner held him, he felt the other man take his watch. The prosecutor seized the prisoner, and succeeded in detaining him until the police came to his. assistance, when he gave him into custody. The in spector on duty stated in his evidence that when the prisoner was taken into custody, and charged with the robbery, he stated that it was trot him, but the other man who had taken. the watch. The prisoner's accomplices both escaped, anti the watch'has not yet been recovered. The prisoner was re manded for seven days. PrtoTooulartr.---At the recent meeting of the Liver pool Photographic Society, Mr. Burgess exhibited and described an instrument for taking pictures, and which was considered to possess many advantages. It-will be inte resting to the members of the society, many of whom have a great love for photography, but have comparatively few opportunities or practising it to the extent they could wish ; and particularly to those who are able, to pro duce good negatives but have not time to print them, to learn that they may obtain assistance, as well as materials, from Mr. Keith, a member of the society, who has re cently opened an establishment at Birkenhead. Mr.. Keith, who has practised photography for the last eight years as an amateur, and whose productions have been much ad mired not only by the society, but elsewhere, is worthy of every encouragement, now that he has commenced pro fessionally. We understand that he undertakes. to print either from glass or paper negatives; and he has certainly turned out some of the best pictures of this description we have seen. SBAXEN'S STRIICE.—On Tuesday, a public meeting o seamen, the first of a series which is being held in thef North-East ports, took place in the Seaman's Hall, North Shields, in reference to the clause in the Merchant Shipping Bill, which provides for the manning of ships, and on which question the seamen of the North-East ports are at present agitating. After some discu ss i on a resolution was agreed. to,. That no British seaman, a member of this association, sail on board of a ship, where a foreign seaman sails, after the passing of the act." COLLISION AT Gnimvocs.—on Wednesday afternoon, a little after four o'clock, whilst the Victoria, Helensburgh steamer, was moored at Greenock Qp,ay,, landing her pas sengers on her upward voyage, she was r u n i n t o by the Lyra, which had jest arrived from, Liserpool. The collision fortunately eventuated in merely carrying away the com panion of the Victoria by the Lycra's cutwater. The ap proach of the Lyra was perceivect in time to enable all the passengers to retreat forward before the collision took . A UOI7IIT-MAN'ISAL assembled on board the Victory, flag-ship, at Portsmouth, on Wednesday, to try Mr. John Tresemen, Second Lieutenant of H. M. steamer Vulcan, Commander Von Donop, on the charge of having been, whilst officer of the watch on board that ship, asleep, the ship being then in lat. 46.23 N., long. 42.51 W. Com mander Von Donop prosecuted, and Mr. James Hoskins, solicitor was permitted to act as the prisoner's. friend. The Court found that the charge was filly proved, and severely reprimanded the prisoner; and admonished him to be more circumspect and vigilant for the future. TIZE GLOVCESTEB DOCKS, at the present time, exhibit a greater appearance of business than proably they ever before manifested. The basins and wharves are literally crammed with ships—British, French, Dutch, Italian, and Greek ; but one cannot but contrast the cleanly appear ance of the English sailors with the dirty and wretched condition of some of the foreigners., The new graving dock at the basin, is now completed, and has already been occupied. The dock is constructed, of Forest stone, is in length, at the bottom, 150 ft., at the top, 167 ft., in width at the bottom, 30ft., at the• top, 40 t.—Gloucester Chronicle. ROBERT OWEN ON SPIWTI7AL MANIFESTATIONS.— Robert Owen, who some years ago proposed to regenerate the world on Socialist and Rationalistic principles, exclud ing Christianity and Revelation as unworthy a place in his Utopia, has started a periodical which he calls the Rational Quarterly Review. The third number contains the fol lowing letter to Her Majesty, which exhibits at once the absurdities of the Rationalist and the credulity of the Infidel. It relates to conversations he alleges he has had with the spirit of Her Majesty's illustrious father, the late Duke of Kent Permit me the liberty to present to your Majesty the second number of the Rational Quarterly Review and Journal, which, at its conclusion, opens sub jects deeply interesting to the human race through all future time. I am now permitted by the spirit of your Royal father to inform your Majesty that we have had two conferences, which to me have been most important and gratifying. In the first, held a short time before your Majesty's late happy confinement, I inquired, ' If I should inform the Queen of this conference between us ?' The re ply was, Not yet, I will tell you when will be the best time to introduce it to my daughter.' In the second conference, held subsequently to your Majesty's recovery, I asked, Should I now introduce the subject to Her Majesty ?' The reply was, Just as you please.' I have waited some days since this interview, or rather conference, to learn that your Majesty's health was fully established ; and I may now state that my questions on both occasions were numerous, and the answers beautiful, and quite in character with my knowledge of his Royal Highness when in his early life. These questions and answers I reserve for the present, except, as I think it will gratify your Majesty to learn it, that his Royal Highness informed me that he was in the fourth sphere and first circle, and that he was, as all the spirits were in his sphere, happy in a very high degree.' I may also add, that I asked If these conferences were agree able to him ?' The reply was Very much so.' And 'Would it be pleasant to come, at a future time ?' Yes.' In my first conference his Royal Highness was in company with Prisident Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, with both of whose spirits I had been some time in conversation when his Royal Highness joined them, precisely at the minute which on the previous day he had promised to be present. The three agreed in all their answers to the genera public questions I addressed to them."4lsl COURT AND FASHION.

Admiralty will, it is understood, arrive at Ports- mouth, to take part in the naval review. The,fleet will proceed to the back of the Isle of Wight, and perform a variety of evolutions of a most imposing character. The review of the fleet is to be on a scale of magnitude and splendour never before witnessed. As at present arranged, the different vessels composing the fleet will move into action at eleven. It is stated that the. Admiralty will place steam-vessels at the disposal of the• members of both Houses of Parliament, and other eminent persons ; and from Gosport an ample supply of boats. for the general public will be provided, to enable them to view the manceuvres to advantage. Every facility, in the shape of early express trains between the metropolis and Gosport and other parts of the line, will be provided by the South western Railway, so that the immense mass who will con gregate to see this unparalleled spectacle may do so with every convenience to themselves. AMERICAN MAILS.—The British and North American mail steam-ship America, Captain Leitch, took her de parture hence for Boston on Saturday morning, with a large number of passengers, a full cargo, and the usual mails. The pressure at the docks, arising from the brisk ness of the American trade, still continues. PANIC IN THE M ETRO POLIS.—There was a panic in the city on Friday, arising from two causes, one was the re ceipt of a telegraphic communication from Vienna, stating that the negotiations with the view of obtaining a peaceful settlement of the Eastern difficulty were not progressing favourably. The other cause alleged was an expectation being generally entertained that the Bank of England would be compelled to raise their minimum rate of interest at their next meeting to £4 per cent. Some apprehensions are also felt about the Chancellor of the Exchequer's ability, in the present state of the money market, to pay off the dissentient holders of South Sea Stock. POST-OFFICE DELIVERY EXTRAORDINARY.—The clerk of a mercantile establishment in town, when getting his letters the other day, received among the rest rather a bulky parcel wrapped in a piece of newspaper, and without either address or postage labels, Acting on the principle of " take all you can get," he brought the suspicious parcel along with him, and delivered it, in the absence of the masters, to the senior clerk, who generally opened the letters of the company. The sight of this one, however, rather dismayed him ; and, accordingly, a consultation was held as to what should be done with it, when it was sug gested that as it was only tied with string and not sealed, it should be opened, and if private could easily be tied again. This was accordingly done, and the contents being exposed to view presented, not a file of East India news papers, nor a bundle of prices-current, but a veritable slice of bread and butter ! The laughter occasioned by its appearance could only be exceeded by the dismay of the unfortunate wight who had placed his lunch ii'. dangerous ground,—Glasgow 0-I(igen, IRELAND CLITIIEROE ELECTION.--On Thursday, the witness committed by the Clitheroe Election Committee to New gate for prevarication, was released from Newgate, on payment of the required fee, £l4. _ _ - LARGE CAPTURE OP WIIALES.—On Tuesday week, two boats and twenty men captured, off the Wesfi THE ROYAL is now officially announced that her Majesty will arrive at Kingstown on the 29th inst., and remain in Dublin for one week.

The laborious duties of Chief Commissioner of the Encumbered Estates Court have well nigh made shipwreck of the learned baron's constitution. Ito of his STATE OF THE CEOPE, — The returns from the country, particularly respecting the potato crop, are looked to with much interest, the vast burg of them are highly favourable. That the blight has appeared in a few districts is fullT proved, but it is apparently in a very mitigated form as compared with that of last year. HARVEST PEOSPECTS. — We have had several days of ettremely fine weather, and if no untoward change sets in, harvest-work will probably commence something ear lier than was anticipated a few Weeks since. The agricul tural reports are all favourable, with the exception of a few isolated complaints of the " appearance" of blight in the potato. MunnE2.—At Galway assizes, John Hurley was found guilty and sentenced to death, for the murder of Katherine Kendrigan, a fellow-servant, at Dunsandle, in revenge for the young girl, a mere child, having mused his dismissal by giving evidence of a series of dishonest practices on his part. When sentence was_passed upon tie hardened mis- areant, he deelared he - crania hay the jury and the prosecutors, " either in this world, or the next." ANOTHER SINOD AT THITELES.—The Tipperary Free Press—high Romanist authority--announces that, " in compliance with the , instructions of the Most Rev. Dr. Cullen, delegate of the Holy See, a provincial Synod, under the presidency of the Most Rev. Dr: Slattery, of Cashel, will be held at Thurles in the ensuing month. The preliminaries- have not been as yet finally arranged, but in all probability the sittings of the Synods will com mence about the Ist of September." The " Apostolic delegate" is determined not to do his work by halves. The Romanist Primate (Dr. Dixon) is now, it seems, a mere cypher as regards spiritual al ment of the Irish " Church .overn- m the ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE A CLEEGYMAN. — Con Friday night, a little after eleven o'clock, the Rev. Wm.. Turpin, vicar of Clara, was fired at in his own house, about three stiles from the town. He had just entered his study, with a lighted candle in his hand, when a shot was discharged through the window, the shutters of which had not been closed., He escaped unhurt, although the assassin fired in the.direction of a desk at which Mr. Turpin is in thehabit of sitting. Mr. Turpin is• of a singularly gentle and un offending disposition, and had only recently taken posses sion- of the vicarage. He succeeded the Rev. Skelton. Gressel', whose life vas attempted in a some at similar manner about twelve years.aio. A MASONIC BALL wa& given, on Wednesday, in. the Roturda, at Dublin,. for the purpose of raising a fund to liquidate the cost of erecting the Masonic 'Female Orphan School, recently built in that city.

ATTACEZON PROTESTANT. STREET-PREACHERS IN IRK LAND.—Two missionaries, the Rev. Messrs. Dickenson and Lewis, were assailed by a mob, in Limerick, on Sunday evening, in-.consequence of Mr. Dickenson having com menced preaching in the street ' • and it was with difficulty that they were rescued. When some of the persons con cerned in the assault on them, were brought up at the Police-court, it was stated by the - .police that the peace of the city was seriously endangered_ by street preaching, and the rev. gentlemen consequently promised not to attempt again to preach in the open air.. Disturbances of a similar. kind have taken place in several other towns in the south of Ireland. It instated that WO missionaries have gone or are going from England and Scotland, for the purpose of open-air preaching. IMPERTINENCE REBUKE-Ur—it lady, plainly dressed, went a short time ago, into , a shop in Dublin, and pur chased several articles, which. she was about to pay for, when the shopman teased her:to look at some other things, which she did not inquire for:. After wasting his eloquence in vain for some time, he at last said, " Oh ! if yon would but buy this dress, you would,tben look like a lady indeed." The - inference to be drawn from this was anything but complimentary, .and the patience of the lady being com pletely exhausted, she resented the fellow's impertinence by refusing to purchase the articles already selected. Th shopman stormed and talked of legal proceedings, to corn pel her to complete her bargains. to her solicitors, or to her broth 'ect him Lieuten;ant (not the present, but a late• Lord Lieutenant). Had a. thunderbolt fallen at the feet of the shopman, he could not have lookedlmore frightened. His insolent demeanour vanished in an instant. Ha was now all humility; he. begged, he prayed, he entreated the lady to say nothing about it ; as it-• would ruin, the concern. She contented herself with writing to the•prindpals, but the affair• got wind sufficiently -to injure the• establishment con:Ailembly LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

PARIS, SU.NDAN.—The announcement in the Moniteur, that the Emperor of Russia had acceptad ,the note fbr warded to hiln.from Vienna, produced tut.immediate.effect upon the speculators assembled on the Bou_Wards. Threes, which closed 77.20 on Saturday, rose t 0.79.20. A despatch, dated Vienna, eight p.m., Sunday, confirms the report that the acceptance of the Porte is alone want ing to the propositions of the Four Powts• Plans, Sul( DAT EVENIN G.—The Globe's correspondent says :—The news in the Moniteur drie . 4 notinspire full confidence,, on account of the conditiquuttaed by the Emperor of Russia; there is, however, he_ thinks, no grow;ut of apprehension on this point.. According to what is said in the ministerial circles, there.is.no direct stipula tion on this subject, of the evacuation., of the Principali ties, but it was fully implied, and the evacuation will be a natural consequence of the acceptance of. the propositions of tike , Four Powers. . - The Times' correspondent says,-"It is not probable that much difficulty will be found in that quarter, and he believes that no serious objection was rais*A by the Turkish ambassador in Paris, to whom the propositions had been previously submitted." Tile Times' correspondent now sees no serious obstacle to a pacific soku.tion, except in an insurrection at Constantinople: No mention is made respecting the important point of the evacuation of the Principalities, =lithe Herald's Paris correspondent remarks that the lefoniteur's silence is by no means satisfactory. The Standard's city article says the pacific nature of the news from St. Petersburgh. has exercised a very con siderable influence upon the corn, tallow, and other markets for the staple commodities of northern produc tion, but until more decisive, intelligence be received, the. variations in prices might be considered as the result Of ' speculation. The Standard, alluding to the statement that the Em peror of Russ** accepts the project of mediation upon condition that the. Porte makes no alteration in it, and *4l receive an ambassador at St. Petersburgh, if the Porte sends one, says Why not send a Russian ambassador to Constantinople or Vienna to treat, if there remains any subject of dispute ; the whole affair is far too plainly a mere didatory device ; the statement, however, has pro duced some little reaction in the Funds, and, further information is, of course, anxiously expected." The. Sun says it appears that up to this moment no positive information has been received in reference to the ultimatum decided upon by the English, French, Austrian, and Prussian representatives. No news even to the effect that it had reached its destination ; yet, we are informed, that matters are already brought to a satisfactory settle ment. The Sun awaits more explicit intabgence. HOUSE OF LORDS, Their lordships met at five o'clock. The Earl of WICK LOW presented a petition, signed by sixty of the principal supporters of the system of National Education in Ireland, complaining of the alterations recently made by the majo rity of the board, the object of the dominant party was either to destroy the system altogether, or to get the whole grant into their own hands, to neither of which would parliament ever consent. The Courts of Common Law (Ireland) Bill passed through committee pro forma, and ordered to be printed. The Naval Coast Volunteers Bill was read a second time. The Public Libraries (Ireland and Scotland) Bill was re ported with amendments. TURKEY AND RUSSIA. - - The Marquis of CLANRICARDE asked what information had been received by Her Majesty's Government as to the pro ceedings of the Russian authorities in the Danubian pro vinces of Turkey, and what steps had been taken by them in consequence of such proceedings. He hoped he should be told that this country had taken a decisive step upon this subject, and that the British fleet was at least before Con stantinople at the present moment ; for if the facts were true, as stated in the public journals, there was no explaining them away, seeing that they were in entire contradiction of the circulars voluntarily issued by Russia. The occupation of these provinces was either war or piracy. Good news had;how ever, arrived this morning, to the effect that the proposals sent from Vienna had been accepted. Unfortunately the house did not know what those proposals were; but he was sure no proposition would be recognised by their lordships whi ch did not include the immediate evacuation of the Prin cipalities. At the same time news had arrived of the Russians being in command of the inner navigation of the Danube. This was a matter of the utmost importance to Europe. The Earl of CLARENDON said he had no information to give materially different from that which he bad given five days ago , in reply to a similar question. He agreed with his noble friend, that the permanent occupation of the Prin cipalities, or any thing like the permapent occupation of them by Russia, was a Very Brave PO her Majesty's TUESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1853• Government had received no official information of th e nattl_re alluded to by his noble friend.
