dates, it becomes a question of considerable interest
to know who will be selected to fill the vacant seats
for Stockport and Wolverhampton. Without in the
smallest degree desiring to dictate as tothe most appro-
priate candidates, we would suggest that a better re-
presentative could scarcely be desired by the old con-
stituents of Mr. COBDEN, now that that eminent man
is called elsewhere, than Alderman KERSHAW, the
honest commercial and political reformer of Man-
chester. Should the Right Hon. TIZOMAS BARING..
TON MACAULAY find the fascinations of his literary
pursuits superior to those of Parliamentary life,
the electors of Wolverhampton will act wisely
in securing in their service the probity and
the intellect of Mr. ROEBUCK. In another direction,
the vacancy which has occurred in Greenwich, in
consequence of the sudden demise of Mr. E. G.
BARNARD, a Liberal of long standing, and of unsul-
lied reputation, affords an admirable opportunity for
the return of Mr. HAWES by a metropolitan consti-
tuency. If THOMAS SLINGSBY DUNCOMBE recovers
from his present serious indisposition we shall regard
the Liberal cause as unusually fortunate.

We now have the returns from the great majority
of the Irish cities and boroughs, and from one county,
and as yet there has been no material change in the
balance of parties; nor is it probable that there will
be any Ministerial gain or loss in that country worth
taking into account. Dungarvan has happily been
spared the disgrace that must have attached to it
had it rejected the Master of the Mint, by the
election of that brilliant and accomplished orator and
statesman by a majority of 16 over his Repeal anta-
gonist. The Right Hon. Gentleman, however, de-
clined to address the constituency on the final close
of the poll and the official announcement of his
victory, in consequence of the disgraceful and offen-
sive manner in which he had been received on his
nomination by the parties who had thronged the
Court-house, and who, notwithstanding the fair and
gentlemanly conduct of his opponent, who had used
every exertion to obtain a hearing for him, refused
to listen to the voice that had so often been uplifted
on their behalf, in defence of their rights and privi-
leges, and in denunciation of
.the tyranny and mis-
government with which they had formerly been op-
Pressed. The state of the poll sufficiently testified
that the parties who acted in this outrageous manner
were not electors, but that they had intruded them-
selves on the proceedings without the slightest
authority. But they were Irishmen, and have
earned for themselves the reproach of every well-
constituted mind for their base ingratitude to pro-
bably the ablest associate of the deceased Liberator
in his struggle for civil and religious liberty.
The gratification of this triumph, however, is con-
siderably diminished by the defeat, in the neighbour-
ing city of Waterford, of one of the most able and con-
sistent Irish politicians—a man of whom his country
might have been proud indeed—Tuomas WTYSE, the
eloquent historian of the Catholic Association, the
strenuous advocate for the instruction of the people,
who has laboured with assiduity and effect to disperse
the mists of ignorance and to diffuse the blessings of
education to the very humblest of his countrymen.
The electors of Waterford have chosen, in place of
that amiable and polished gentleman, Mr. Alderman
MEAGHER, whose sole claim appears to be that
he is the father of that enthusiastic visionary
whose fiery and truculent harangues mainly led
to the dissensions and differences that ended in the
withdrawal from Conciliation Hall of the Young
Irelanders. It was the hopeful offspring of the new
Member for Waterford, who was breathing defiance
to the Saxon, and urging the propriety and necessity
of an appeal to physical force, when JOHN O'CON-
NELL interposed, and, with some of his lamented
father's prudence and discretion, put an end to the
speech of the excited orator, and declare, that he, at
least, would not patiently listen to the language of
sedition, and subject himself and his associate
to the penalties of a participation therein.
We believe, however, that the Alderman does not
go to the same extent of Young Irelandism ; and
that he avowed himself on the hustings a moral-force
Repealer. With him is associated young DANIEL
O'CONNELL, who gave up Dundalk ; and Sir HENRY
f }iia nor Tlf
nant remonstrance;,- Or7l.3Qila 7f-
have not preserved him from defeat.
In Galway, too, the Solicitor- General for Ireland,
who gave the most decided promise of a brilliant
Parliamentary career, during the brief period he
possessed a seat in the House, withdrew from the
contest, and suffered the Repealer, OTLAHERTY
whom he defeated but a few months ago, to wall:
over the course without a contest. Galway has
thus 19st the legislatorial services of a gentle-
man, whose acknowledged abilities and universally
admitted profound legal skill would have been
most valuable in the conduct of the Encumbered
Estates Bill and other measures that are about to be
brought forward for the improvement of the relations
between landlord and tenant, and the general amelio-
ration of Ireland, and, in place, has obtained, as a re-
presentative, one whose public services are limited to
his 51. donation to the coffers of Conciliation-hall.
Drogheda, however, has acted otherwise, and al-
though the defeated candidate possessed much higher
qualifications than any other Repealer who has come
forward, as a man of sound sense and judgment, and
great commercial experience, the Chief Secretary
for Ireland was a third time returned as their repre-
sentative to Parliament. In the city of Limerick,
the only place where a real contest took place between
Young and Old Ireland, Mr. R. O'GORMAN, the phy-
sical force candidate, was defeated by JOHN O'CON-
NELL, in opposition to whom especially he was started,
by an overwhelming majority, the numbers being—
for O'CONNELL, 581 ; for JOHN O'BRIEN, the late
Member, 532 ; and for O'GORMAN, 38 ! This may
be regarded as tolerably good evidence of the esti-
mation in which the physical force doctrines are
held, Limerick being one of its strongest holds, and
the mild and peaceable Rev. Mr. KENYON, the pro
poser of Mr. O'GORMAN, being resident in its im
mediate vicinity.

Cork has witnessed a rather extraordinary termi-
nation of the contest, Mr. FAGAN, who was at the

head of the poll by a considerable majority, having,
just before its final close, resigned in favour of Mr.
M'CAlrrily, one of the late Members, who was at the
foot of the poll, and in a minority of 94 to
Mr. FAGAN. We cannot conceive how the re-
turning officer could have sanctioned such an arrange-
ment. The moment a candidate is proposed and
seconded, and a poll on his behalf demanded, he
ceases to have any control whatever. If placed in a
majority he must be returned as the Member, and the
sheriff would run a considerable risk if he
attempted to act in opposition to his manifest
duty. If the precedent was for a moment
admitted, if the principle was sanctioned, the
most corrupt and unconstitutional compromises
might take place. If the man to whom the majority
of the electors had given their confidence could be
induced to betray those by whom he had been
selected, and to accept a bribe, even at the eleventh

hour, there would be nothing to prevent the sale of
the constituency, or their being handed over to a

person who could only obtain the suffrages of a small
minority. We do not impute anything of this kind
to either Mr. FAGAN or Mr. IWCARTHY, but it is

impossible to tell to how dangerous an extent it migh

be pushed if for a moment tolerated.

In the sitting of the Swiss Diet, of the 2d, the Pre-
sident announced that he had a new communication
to make
with respect to the preparations of the Son-
derbund. This announcement created great sensa-
tion. The following dispatch, addressed by the Ex-
ecutive Council cf Berne to the Federal Directory,

officer of the staff, accompanied by two other officers of
the staff, has made a reconnaissance up to near the ter-
ritory of Berne, in the district of Tracbselwald. He
caused a plan of the locality in which the intrenchments

are to be constructed to be drawn up. At the passage of
Brunig, in the Obwald, the works of the fortifications are
being pushed on actively. Hundreds of men are there
occupied, and gatherings of troops and inspections take
place continually. Heavy artillery has been brought to
Lungern. A citizen of Berne, M. Oswald, Registrar of
the tribunal of the district of Oberashli, whilst pro-
ceeding to Sarnen, received from M. Brilschgi, at Lun-
gern, advice to return, if he would not expose himself
to disagreeable treatment. These hostile demonstra-
tions with respect to the federal resolution cause,
among the people of Berne, sentiments of which you,
gentlemen, can appreciate the character when you are
told that the government of this canton has been
strongly solicited to send arms and ammunition to the
frontier districts."

The Federal :Assembly decided that this document
should be sent to the Committee of seven members
nominated in the preceding sitting.

The Bale Gazette of the 4th announces that the
Vorort, in consequence of the resolution adopted by
the officers of the Sonderbund, has addressed a cir-
cular letter to all the officers of the seven cantons,
calling upon them to declare before the 10th their
position and relations with regard to the Sonder-
bund. They are required to say whether it be their
intention to maintain a position incompatible with
their duties as federal officers. If they send no
answer, it will be presumed that their intentions are
incompatible with their federal duties.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday. Those of Friday contain a report of a
scene in the Chamber of Peers, in consequence of
Viscount DUROUCHAGE having read a letter from
M. WARENEY, which had been published in the
papers, in which that 'gentleman, as a delegate from
Bona, charges Marshal SOULT, General St. YoN, the
late Minister of 'War, and several other high per-
sonages with having made concessions of mines, &c.,
in Algeria, for corrupt purposes. The Viscount de-
manded explanations, but the Minister, as usual, de-
clared the charges unworthy of notiee, and refused to
institute any inquiry. This refusal, after the revela-
tions which have taken place in the Teste affair, is,
certainly, very suspicious. As the Union Monarehique
justly observes
" There is something profoundly disquieting in the
repugnance of the Ministry to run the chance of an open
and solemn discussion before a court of justice. If acts
provided for by the Penal Code be pointed out it says,
I don't believe them.' If a deputy or publicist accuses
it, or, to use its own language, calumniates it, it assumes
an air of disdain and cries out that a conspiracy is plotted
against it; it has not any time to lose in struggles, the
succession of which has been prepared with a Macchiavel-
lian art. 'We allow that it is disagreeable to have con-
tinually to defend one's self against withering accusa-
tions, and to bring twenty accusations for defamation
before the tribunals; but the best and surest means to
put an end to these calculations of ambition, envy, or
hatred, is to have the first calumniator severely punished.
Besides the Ministry, in our opinion, is in a position
which admits of neither contempt nor indulgence. The
public conscience is uneasy, uneasy to injustice, if one
pleases. M. Guizot has congratulated the country on
it. Had he been astonished or made a complaint, the
matter would not have changed. Are not more col-
leagues of M. Teste in power? Have the men who ap-
point( d him to a seat in the first court o!'justice resign, d
their portfolios?"
In the same sitting the Lyons and Avignon Rail-
way Bill was thrown out by a majority of five. The
Paris and Lyons, the Montereau and Troyes, the Ver-
sailles and Chartres, and the Dieppe and Fecamp
Railway Bills were passed.
The Opposition have issued a circular to the Li-
beral electors of the provinces, calling upon them to
hold reform banquets throughout the country.
The Journal des Debats, in replying to a letter re-
cently published by Father ROOTIIAN, the General of
the Jesuits, gives the following expose of the doings
of that intriguing order in Bavaria :
" Were our alarms vain we should willingly allow this
to the reverend father, but we cannot in conscience do
so. He writes us word that there were no Jesuits et
Munich in the month of March of this year; it was an
unfortunate month, for we know that for the last ten
years they came very often from thence for France, Bel-
gium, or Switzerland; we could name those who on the
re--1,4,1= Zt eillTic;san cietiy ; and since, if necessary, in
order to convince the reverend father that we are not
always so iil-informed,we can even add that the sad deter-
mination which placed the college of Lucerne in the
hands of his company came from Munich, and not
from Lucerne. We do not believe either too much or
too little in the affiliations and intermediates which the
company, it is said, knows how to provide for itself in
the age, but we do nut forget how the question stood
about it at first in Bavaria. It was the laity who corn
menced the agitation in 1834, and then petitioned for the
entrance of the Jesuits. From 1836 to 1837 these same
persons united with women of rank and statesmen ;
every one knows how, and for whom, these latter go-
verned from 1837 to 1847. It was under this govern-
ment that the most respectable ecclesiastics, M. de
Diepenbrok, at present Prince Bishop at Breslaw, the
defunct Bishop of Ratisbon, and so many others more
obscure, were seen to inveigh strongly against the
intolerance of the young fanatical priests ; it wai
under this direction that the education in the
ecclesiastical seminaries more and more departed from
tbe primitive line, in order to become isolated and self-
confined; that Protestants were pointed at in all pulpits,
and denounced to the contempt and hatred of their
Catholic fellow-citizens; that the interior of families was
disturbed by wild sermons against mixed marriages ;
that the exercise of the Protestant worship was impeded
in every possible way; that conversions were multiplied,
and minors taken away by surprise from the religion of
their fathers. But have the Jesuits ever done anything
else? In fine, the Redeemerists are not certainly Jesuits,
but, like them, they form an association, and not an
order, without reckoning that they aid each other mutu-
ally—a rare thing between religious orders. In reality,
the institute of the happy Liguori is nothing else than
the institute of Loyola. Who then has so suddenly called
into the whole of Bavaria the missionaries of ' the Most
Holy Redeemer ?' Who gave the signal of those missions
full of scandal, which went beyond those which were
seen in France in 1829? Had Catholic Bavaria so ur-

still more particular. It declares that the sage consti-
tution of the society forbids to all its members, under
the severest penalties, any interference, direct or indi-
rect, in public affairs.' Here have three hundred years
passed by without any one ever imagining the existence
ef that prohibition; for our parts, we can only facilitate
the General of the Jesuits on having so well chosen his
time to renew it, and we hope that in Rome he will be
taken at his word."
The royal squadron, which is shortly to assemble,
was to be composed this year of the steam-frigate
the Gomer, the corvette the Comte d'Eu, the yacht
the Reine Amelie, and of several other little steam-
vessels ; but the Comte d'Eu will be replaced by the
Passe-Partout. The division is to be commanded by
M. LAURENCIN, who has received a private letter of
appointment (a thing which never before occurred),
by which he will be allowed to employ more state
than he had the right to do as simple captain of one of
the vessels. The squadron was to assemble yesterday
at Cherbourg, from whence in a few hours it could
proceed to Treport. It is stated that the stay of his '
MAJESTY at the Château d'Eu will not be so long this
season as in previous years.
The Constitutionne/ says that the Prince DE JOIN-

THE UNITED STATES
AND MEXICO.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.
We have an arrival here to-day from New York,
with four days later advices from the United States.

The New York packet, John R. Skiddy, Captain
Luce, entered our port this morning, bringing papers
from New York to the 20th ultimo. A private
letter also informs us of the arrival at New York,
on the 19th, of the steamer Sarah Sands, after a
long passage.

The royal mail packet Britannia, Captain Harri-
son, had made another remarkably quick passage

_ .
from Liverpool to Boston. She arrived on the
morning of the 17th, after a rapid passage of twelve
and a half days, including her calling at Halifax, to
land and take in passengers and mails at that port.
The New Yorkers were beginning to look for
their own native steamer, the Washington, which
they had no doubt would make her homeward voyage
in twelve days.
The commercial news taken out by the Britannia,
which was to the 4th of July, had a most depressing
action on the prices of breadlstuffs in all the corn
and flour depots of the United States and Canada.
At New York, flour which commanded 6 dollars
121 cents on the 16th, declined on the English news
of July 4 becoming known, to 5 dollars 75 cents
to 5 dollars 50 cents, and at the latter quotation
sales but to a limited extent only could be effected ;
at that hour the steamer's letters had not been de-

livered, and in their absence both holders and specu•
lators were disinclined to operate ; a general opinion
prevailed that during the following days a further
decline would take place. The exports of flour to
England continued on a large scale, and 500,000
barrels would, in the month of July only, pass
across the Atlantic for Liverpool and other British
ports.

The cotton advices from Liverpool, of July 4, had
had the effect of making holders demand higher
rates : a few sales for immediate consumption were
made at an advance of cent per pound ; the staple
was, however, generally withdrawn till the private
advices became public.
The grain crops throughout the United States and
Canada are represented as most abundant, and that
with a large additional breadth of land thrown into
the cultivation of wheat and Indian corn, this portion
of the world boast that, if needful, they can supply the
population of Europe at prices lower far than the cur-
rency which grain and flour have commanded during
the present year.

Business throughout the Union was most pros-
perous, money plentiful, accommodation at the banks
easily obtained on good paper, and altogether the
business of the Republic was " looking up and going-
a-head." A New York paper, not remarkable for its
modesty, thus writes :
" It is impossible to form even the most vague idea of
the ultimate financial and commercial position of
this country. With all the wealth Europe possesses,
we are destined to surpass her, and in much less
time than many imogine, or would believe, wo shall
stand the highest in the list of commercial nations.
Our progress is so rapid that it is not astonishing
that we cannot keep u; with it in our calculations ;
the changes are so great in such short periods, that
it is impossible to draw any inference from the
influence or effect of any movement, at one time, upon
things at another. We must reason from things as we
find them. Every year in this country is almost distinct
of itself : what would produce embarrassments this
this year, would perhaps have a centrary effect next.
While we are progressing so rapidlyin wealth and re-
sources, our prosperity is becoming established upon a
sound, solid, and healthy foundation. We have such a
variety of interests within our own limits, that they will
in a few years support each other, placing all indepen-
dent of any foreign aid and comfort.'
From Mexico we have by this arrival some inte-
resting news, not later, but giving particulars in de-
tail not brought by the last West India Mail.

PLIILADELPDIA, JULY 15.—There has been less ac-
tivity in flour, but prices are fully sustained, owing to

By the French steamer Union (Havre), we have
advices from New York to the 24th July. The New
York Courier and Enquirer says—
The Mexican war is, as it was. We have dates
from the city of Mexico to the first day of the present
month, up to which time it does not appear--how-
ever prevalent reports to the contrary—that the
Congress had met to deliberate upon the renewed
propositions from this Government, through Mr.
Trist, for negotiations.
The idea still prevails, nevertheless, the negotia-
tions will come of this proposition, and the rather as
it seems to be understood that the offer was made
through the agency of the British Embassy in
Mexico, and that the earnest efforts of that Embassy
are exerted to secure a favourable consideration to
such offer.
Meantime, it is hardly doubtful that General Scott,
reinforced by some 2,500 men under Generals Cad-
wallader and Pillow, and with a further reinforce-
ment in view of about equal strength, under the
command of Colonel Pierce, on the road from Vera
Cruz to the capital, left Puebla about the 29th of
June, for the purpose of occupying the city of Mexico.
It does not seem to be the opinion of the American
officers that any serious or sustained resistance would
be made to the advance of the army, either at Rio
; and great confidence is felt
in the
or at
theopintihe cityonth itself;
twsefilthin the first week of July
instant the American flag would fly in triumph over
the capital, unless the march of the army be arrested
by a preliminary acceptance on the part of the Mexi-
can Congress of the offer to negotiate.
Mr. Trist, it does not soon to be questioned, bears
with him in all due form, a copy of the treaty which
the United States are willing to consent to ; and if
the Congress of Mexico will accede to that treaty,
Mr. Trist, immediately on their doing so, is autho-
rised to pay down three millions of dollars. The
supposed terms of this treaty are, the concession by
Mexico of the line of the Rio Grande, for Texas,
and of Upper California ; in consideration thereof
the American Government will assume all the claims
of its citizens upon Mexico ; give her a discharge in
full, and probably offer her some additional sum in
compensation for the territory she will surrender.
However this may be, the impression gains ground
that a pacific solution of our difficulties is at hand ;
but doubt and delays yet embarrass its view.

Of the growing crop accounts are, upon the whole,
satisfactory, though recently in Lower Alabama and
Mississippi we hear of flooding rains, from which
damage is apprehended.
The grain crops all over are enormous. Some of
the new wheat of Western New York is already in
market, and is of the first quality.
The weather which has prevailed throughout the
wheat-growing country for the last three weeks has
been most favourable to getting the crops well in,
and the apprehension of a still further decline in
prices, and the certainty of a very large yield,
prompt the farmer to hurry the new grain to mar-
ket as rapidly as possible— so that, while there is
yet quite a considerable residuum of the old crop,
the overflowing new will be pressed into competition
with it.
Of Indian corn, of which the harvest is in October,
the appearance is most promising, and the yield wit
be unparalleled.

favourite signatures. On Paris the rate is 5 321 to

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.)
IN RE THO3IPSON AND BAFFIN.
Mr. STURGEON applied in the case of these bank-
rupts, for a postponement of the advertisement of adju-
dication in bankruptcy, for sixteen days. The applica-
tion was made on behalf of the bankrupts, with the
consent of the petitioning creditors whose solicitor was
present.
His HONOUR said he did not know that he had the
power of postponing it after adjudication. Under the
old law he knew he had not, but some such power might
exist in some of the many new laws.
Mr. STURGEON suggested that the Learned Commis-
sioner being a judge of a court of record had a power
of adjournment.
His HONOUR -did not think that he had, for although
he sat under the Act William IV., and subsequent Acts,
their powers were under the old law except where ad-
ditional powers were expressly given.
Mr. STURGEON said, that if that was his Honour's
opinion they must go to the Court of Review.
