A NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.

MR. HOWARD, Surgeon Dentist, 52, Fleet-
street, has introduced an ENTIRELY NEW DESMIP-
TION of A/tTIFICIAL TEEM, fixed without springs, wires, or

,igatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural tetli-ai not to be
distinguished from the originals by the closest observer; they wi
never change col .ur or c'ecay, and will be found very superior to any
teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction
of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve
teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and
mastication; and, that Mr. Howard's improvement may be within
reach of the most economieal. he has fixed his charges at the lowest
scale possible. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mastics

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—BOTANIC WATER AND BEAR'S
GREASE.—When the hair is becoming thin and falling off,
the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the
use of the two above-named articles, applied alternately—the
Botanic Water to cleanse the roots from scurf, and as a sti-
mulant, and the Bear's Grease as a nourisher. If any further
evidence was required of the virtues of Bear's Grease for reno-
vating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the
quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of
the North American Indians would be a sufficient answer.—
Ross and Son's, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, who first
introduced the use of Bear's Grease in this country, and who
fat and kill the animals, recommend the public to purchase
none other but with their names and address printed on the
pot, or the chances are they are obtaining a spurious ar-
ticle. All vegetable oils applied to the hair are worse than
useless.

THE MURDER AND SUICIDE AT BERMONDSEY.—
A sensation, which it is impossible to describe, has bee
created throughout Bermondsey, since the perpetrati, n
of the dreadful murder and suicide, in Hickman's Folly;
and during Wedn, • lay, so great was the crowd in front of
the house in which the tragedy occurred, that the police
were obliged to be kept there on duty. The parents of
the unfortunate young woman are in a state of heart.
rending distress; and the father is obliged to be watched,
as he has several times since attempted to destroy him-
self. From inquiries made on Wednesday, itappeared that
Matilda Griffin and Ilenry Parker had la( en keeping
company together for eighteen months or two y ears. On
Monday night the female went out with a male ac-
quaintance to some place
.of entertainment, without
Parker, who, on hearing of it, threatened to do some
thing desperate. On Tuesday, about half past four, the
girl was sent by her mother up stairs to make the bed,
at the same time telling her, in the event of Parker com-
ing in, to leave the room, as she did not like his manner
that day. She went as requested, and it is presumed.
that whilst she was kneeling down, making the ly d,
Parker entered the room unobserved, and that he then
inflicted the fatal wound. Upon examining the neck of
Parker, there are no fewer than three gashes in his
throat, one of which is very extensive. Mr. Johnson, a
butcher, who lives opposite, found a letter, which it is
said, was written by Parker, and which alluied to the
dreadful affair. It has been handed over to the police.
and the contents will not be made public,until the inquest
is held.
NEWFOUNDLAND PRODUCE.—Ihe vessel Dart, ar-
rived in the river from Newfoundland, has brought, in
addition to a cargo of oil and other merchandise, the
large number of 18,194 seal skins; and another vessel,
the Cynthia, arrived from the same place, besides a
cargo of oil, 17,000 of the same kind of skins. Ihe e
extensive importations of the skin of the seal from ti e
British North American province mentioned amply
trate the abundance of the creature in that distiict.
INTERESTING DIsCOVERY.—The Union, of Mans,
gives an account of the discovery at Boisse-le-Sec of a
subterranean passage leading to a hall nearly fifty ft et
square, in the middle of which is an immense stone
table, having above it a lamp in baked clay, suspended
by an iron chain. Another curious discovery has taken
-lace at Morellettee, near Mtwara. A peasant, who
was diegirg there for clay,
found, at about six feet

SPANISH BONDHOLDERS' ASSO-
CIATION.
A meeting of the Spanish bondholders convened by
this association was held yestcr lay at the London Tavern
to receive a communication from the association's agent
at Madrid, Mr. James Henderson, respecting the settle-
ment of the claims of the bondholders.
DEMPSTER ELEM3IING, Esq , the chairman of the asso-
ciation, was voted to the chair, and said that under
ordinary circumstances he should have felt great reluc-
tance in taking the chair, but he considered himself then
before the meeting in a double capacity, not only as the
present chairman, butes the chairman of the Spanish Bond.
holders' Association. In the latter capacity he was
delighted to have an opportunity of affording the share-
holders some explanation how that association originated,
and why k was subjected to the imputation of being self-
constituted. In last July this association was constituted.
Before that association was formed a committee existed,
but no sooner did the horizon in Spanish politics clear
and the affairs of the bondholders begin to amend, than
that committee began to relax its efforts and retrograde,
and it at last became effete. They (the association)
had communications with several influential merchants
in the City, and the expediency of having a body of
gentlemen who might communicate with the Spanish
Government, and give the result of such communication
to the bondholders, was admitted, and the present as-
sociation was then formed. It was then dcemed
necessary to send an agent to Madrid. They
bad sent a memorial to Senor Mon, but no re-
spome having been received to that communication, in
order to give greater effect to their eff els they had
unitei with the bondholders of Belgium and France, and
they had an interview with M. Guizot, who gave them a
recommendation to M Bresson. Fortified with that
letter, Mr. Henderson proceeded to Madrid, and it was
only justice to him to state that he had done all in his
lower to adjust the affairs of the bondholders. The
Government of Spain, he was satisfied, were anxious to
revive the credit of the country by settling with foreign
creditors. lie was sure they wanted the power, and no
the will, to carry out their wishes • and it was to that
they must attribute the debts ofF the bondholders not
being liquidated before.

Mr. LAPEL here statpd that one of the committee had
expended no less than 1,0001. in endeavours to arrange
the affairs of the company.
The SECRETARY then read the letter from Mr. Hon-
dersen of the 2d of July, which has already been pub-
lished.

Mr. E. Limo proposed that the committee be consti

tuted as ;he rt pteseritatives of the bondholders.
Mr. NATION seconded the resolution, which was car-
ried unanimously.
Thanks having been voted to the chairman and the
other members of the committee,
Mr. W. I.IENDEnsosr read a letter from Lord George
Bentinck, aryl in an eloquent speech proposed a vote of
thanks to his Lirdship, which was seconded, and carried
unanimously.
The letter was as follows:
"Harcourt House, July 13. 1847.
" Dear Sir,—You are at perfect liberty to declare atq
where in my name, that if Lord Palmerston fails or pro-
crastinates in demanding and procuring redress for the
British holders of Spanish bonds, I will again, if I live.
bring the matter bi fore the House of Commons. I think
it, however, only justice to Lord Palmerston to say that
all his previous curtail( tin forcing redress from Portugal,
New Granada, and Venezuela point him out, of all the
statesmen who have ever held the seals of the Foreign-
office, as the man in whom the British holders of foreign
bonds have the best right to place confidence that he will
fearlessly and firmly seek and obtain payment of their
just debts.
"Lord Palmerston's heart is evidently with the British
creditors (4' foreign repudiating and non-paying states ;
and it is clear that Lord Palmerston only requires to be
properly baked up by the representatives of the empire,
to take effectual measures to obtain for all British holders
of foreign bonds punctual payment of their interest by
all nations who have not the excuse of poverty, insol-
vency, and bond fide inability to pay.
" Practically, then, it rests with the British holders
of Spanish and other bonds now, when on the eve-of" -
general eluction, to rouse constituencies from the,ortb
of Scotland to the Livd's..End, andslll6E Harwich to
Galway, to call 4%Q *Or rseresentatillcs, or rather
upon the candidates eilAkeinisting!, to pledggithemselves
to support Lord PahnerTion, in de handing altd securing
the immediate and punctual payment of the interest upon
all the debts due by solvent national C 4115 vernments to the,
subjects of Great Britain. 1. 111 ye.* •
" Lorkralmerston hasitatited tikaggregate principali;-F of the DOH due to Bri 'sh subjects, at one
hundhd an4fty Ihillions sterling ; alb three end a ball'
per cenelbinterest this would give upwards of five mil-
lions a year of interest due by foreign nations, and un-
paid to British subjects.
This is a sum nearly equal to the property and
Income-tax ; it is an annual sum to be paid to England
in 'foreign gold,' nearly equal to that drain of English
gold,' in p iyment for foreign prain, which, in the months
of April and May last, created such a panic and such a
pressure on the money market.
"Had these BASE foreign National Debtors, as
Lord Palmerston has justly designated them, been
'HONEST instead of BASE,' the DRAIN Of SIX
MILLIONS of GOLD in payment for foreign grain,
would have been within ONE MILLION STERLING COHN-
TIRVAILED by the cash payments in discharge of the
annual :nterest of these foreign debts, and there could
have been no pressure in the money-market, no obstacles
to the liberal discounts of the bank—no distress amongst
fair, honest, enterprising English merchants and manu-
facturers.

" Let the people of England remember that they to
whom these Spanish thieves' owe an annual interest of
upwards of one million six hundred thousand pounds
sterling, pay every year for th• slave-grown sugars and
coffee, and slave-raised copper of Cuba and Porto Rico,
a sum fully greater than this, mostly in English gold,
the hard-earnings of honest English industry, to
these very Spaniards ; and then let them ask
the candidates for their suffrages, whether, if
returned to Parliament, they will suffer any longer
this barefaced robbery to continue ; let the people of
England aOt the candidates for their votes, it they will
tamely and basely connive at the longer continuance of
this Spanish freebooting, at the expen:e of the hard
horny hands, and exhausted sweat of English labour
and English honesty.
" Will they suffer this, in order that the Queen of
Portuiral and her profligate Court, and a et more profli-
gate Ministers, may continue to revel in a lavish extra-
vagance, and a wasteful expenditure, greater by one-half
than that which contents the wants, and maintains the
dignity of our own Queen, the greatest Sovereign of the
earth ?
_ _ _

" Will the people of England be content any longer
to look quietly upon Cubs and Porto Rico, producing to
value upwards of ten millions sterling of produce an-
nually on the one side—and on the unpaid debt of
forty-six millions. due by Spain to British subjects
on the other side—Cubs and Porto Rico, AT ONCE SO
RICH and so EASY A PRIZE, and FORBEAR LONGER To
DISTRAIN UPON THE GOODS OF THEIR WEALTHY, their
,aithless, their unprincipled Spanish debtors ?
" Finally, I repeat that the battle rests now with the
British bondholders, to be fought by them on the hust-
ings. Though my political opponent, I think the',
o
ught to have confidence in Lord Palmerston ; but if
the British bondholders do their duty to theinstlves and
to Lord Palmerston, and Lord Palmerston should never-
theless disappoint their just expectations, then, I say,
you will know where to look for one who, in what he
knows to be a just cause, will neither flatter nor flinch,
deceive, desert, or betray, in your faithful servant,
" G. BENTINCK.

" To Wm. 'Henderson, Esq."
Thanks were then voted to Lord Palmerston and
Lord Brougham, after which the meeting st parated.

THE INTENSE HEAT.—The intensity of the heat
during the past three days has been much greater than
has been known for many years past. The thermo
meter ranged during the afternoon of Monday as high
as 96 degrees in the sun, and 84 degrees in the shade,
wish wind W. ; on Tuesday, 98 degrees in the sun, and
86 in the shade, with the wind N.N.W.; on Wednesday.
from two to four, the mercury was up to 104 degress,
being six degrees above blood beat and only six degrees
below fever heat, and in the shade the mercury stood at
92, with the wind due north, with a brilliant clear sk)
overhead, although to the south and east there wire in
Ito distance masses of clouds. On Wednesday lit' sun set
very red in a cloudless but hazy sky, and at eight o'clock
the thermometer still showed 80 degrees.
'Emu WASTE LAND IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY:—
Yesterday there was a general meeting of this society at '
the King's Head Tavern, Poultry, to consider the pre-

Earl of Devon presided. Colonel Robinson rend a de-
tailed statement of the objects and progress of Ihe society,
from which it appeared that the number of the tenantry
bad greatly increased, as well as the amount of the so
ciety's rental, and that the tenants' property had more.
than trebled itself during the course o the last three
years, up to the time of the late disastrous, failure in Ire-
land. The society had employed al its tenantry in the
bad season in permanent and reproductive works. No
one had died of famine on their
ofestates during that pe-
riod. The general appearancethe crops on the estates
was highly favourable, including 100 acres of potatoes.
The various crops were growing over 1,200 acres of re-
claimed land. Amongst e improvements suggested

the spirit grocers of Ireland were made einitle d to re-
ceive from the officers of Excise licenses for the ,sale by
retail of spirits, at rates fixed by these statutes.
"That the officers of her Majesty's Excise did for
several years illegally and wrongfully exact front the
spirit grocers of Ireland upwards of 400 per cent. mere
for their retail spirit licenses than the law allowed them
to chi.rge, as decided by the Irish judges in the case of
a spirit grocer, 'Stephen Fox Dickson v. a Collector of
Excise, George Pape Ei q "That the officers of Excise
did, pursuant to the judgment of the Irish judges in a

Stephen Fox Dickson, through whom the question was
decided, such excess of tie license duty charged as was
decided to have been il!egally and wrongfully taken
from said St‘phen Fox Dickson, a spirit grocer, in the
one case brought h fore the court upon which case the
judgment vas given. That when applied to for repay-

"That your petitioners have to regret to state that
the officers of her Majesty's Excise did not obey the
order of your Honourable House, but did untruly return
as an answer to said order of your Honourable House,
'that the amount of the rate is in dispute, and is the
subject of a writ of error now pending in the House of
Lords, in the case of M'Kenaa v. Pape,' that this being
as it is, and has been unfounded in truth or fact, your
Honourable House has been imposed upon, and the
amount of the moneys wrongfully and illegally exacted
and levied by the Excise off the spirit grocers of Ire-
land, kept concealed from your Honourable House, and
thereby the interests of the Irish traders grievomly
damaged.

" That your Honourable House has been pleased on.
the 31st day of March, 1847, to order 'a return (in
addition to the Sessional Paper, No. 662, for• 1845),
showing in an additional column, and opposite each

your Honourable House, one on sessional paper 662, for
1845, the other on sessional paper 476, for 1847, both
returns calculated :to impose upon your Honourable
Horse, to damage the interests of petitioners and fellow-
traders in Ireland, and by concealing from your Honour.
able House the amount of the large sums of money,
amounting in the gross to many thousand pounds, which
the officers of the Zxeise have illegally and wrongfully
exacted from petititincis and fellow• traders of Ireland,

,APACIOUB Fzus E TISM AT ----BLENHEIM.O.-.With
the exception of the invited excursion to Blenheim on
Saturday, and a certain failure in the concluding break-
fast on Wednesday, it may truly be said that the recent
meeting at Oxford was alike honourable to the British
Association, to England, and to science. The Blenheim
affair was indeed a disgraceful drawback. Never did we
witness such a scene of rapacity and meanness. From
the entrance-gate to the leave taking of the kitchen
garden, there was not only the dirty, greedy looks of
menials and the ready Arab hand for backshieh but the
impudent demand of a fixed price of admittance as at
the door of a penny show, a theatre, or St. Paul's Cathe-
dral. The company was ranged by the cards sent out in
the name of his Grace the Duke of Marlborough, into
parties not exceeding six, and according lad mostly
joined in half desens to perambulate the palace and
grounds. Over the former they were hurried by house•
keepers, maids, and servingmen, all of them looking for
the expected fee with countenances and gestures not to
be mistaken. In ether cases they haggled for half-
crowns instead of shillings, and contemptuously insulted
any unfortunate who might fancy that a little sixpence
added to the amount of which he had been already
fleeced was enough. At the entrance to the pleasure-
garden (one must pay tor pleasure !) the charge was ss.
tor six persons ; but it was reducA in some cases of re-
monstrance, and in others the visitors would not go in,
or roused to submit to the imposition. All through it
was to the same tune ; and to auernent the discredit of
!he afflir, the servants pretended that they acted by
order of their due master, that he would share their
fees, and that they had no wages but what they got in
his most scandalous manner. Such libels by house-
maids, flunkies, and gardeners upon the sucre,tor of the
glorious conqueror of Blenheim, an individual of princely
rank, living on a domain presented by a nation's grati-
tude, ought surely to be punished ; and we trust the
noble duke will cause a stribgent inquiry to be made
into these injurious statements and practices ; the more
to be lamented in this instance, as they were baretuacssedial

Dia 17Trr REGIMENT.--CIIATHAM, JULY 13.--
This evening the left wing of this Regiment ("Royal
Tigers") arrived at this place from Gravesend, at which
port it disembarked from the ship John Brewer, 500
tons burden, Captain Brown. The strength consists
of 222 men, including noncommissioned officers, with
10 women and a number of children, under command
of Lieutenant-Colonel P. M'Pherson, with the following
officers,—Captain 0. P. Bourke, Captain T. 0. Rut-
Lioutenant G. H. Messiter, Lieutenant W. A.
Armstrong, Ensign J. Nolan, Ensign E. Gardiner, Ensign
P.lll.`Pherson,with a,sistant• burgeon J. B.Thomson,
These troops embarked at Botubay on the 13th of Marc%
last. During the passage the ship put in at Acheen, and
also at St. and four soldiers and one oman
died on board. The 17th was sent out to New South
Wales from Chatham in the 3 ear 1830, and, after serv-
ing in various parts of Australia In un•A ards of five years,
embarked for Bombay in 1836. It then formed part of
the army under the late Lord Keane, destined for the
capital of AffghaniAan, and was present at the first
storm and capture of Ghuznee on the 23d of July, 1839;
and in 1846 it formed part of the arrny under Ureteral
Sir C. Napier, and marched towards tl • north-west. on
reaching 13haw ulpore, the force was ordered to return,
and the 17th, on the way down the Indus, was detained
at Sukkur, and lost a great number of ram from fever.

Leagued in the same malign cause as that which
has engrossed the imagination and obscured the
judgment of the Citizen King, are the Kaiser of
AUSTRIA and the Czar of Russia. Leagued in the
same glorious cause of political and social emancipa-
tion with the reforming PONTIFF, are the King of
PRUSSIA, the King of SARDINIA, the King of the
BELGIANS, and the Grand Dulre of TUSCANY. All
the energies of the Cabinet of Berlin are directed to
the liberative movement which has latterly been per-
ceptible in the vicinity of his Italian provinces. She
incorporation of the Cracovian republic has not
been sufficient to appease the anxieties of the im-
perial FRANCIS. With NICHOLAS, on the other hand,
everything is being done for the consolidation of the
vast power already under his yoke for the prosecution
of certain ulterior intentions. Among the most im-
portant means adopted to this end by the Emperor of
all the RUSSIAS is, unquestionably, the projection 01
a gigantic line of railway, connecting the capitals o
Moscow, St. Petersburgh, and Warsaw. That rail,
road will be the spine of the Russian empire. While
the United Diet of Prussia is progressing happily in
its novel duties, and FREDERICK WILHELM IV. is
observing with satisfaction the present and
prospective happiness conferred thereby upon
his loving subjects, the Venerable Pius is
embarrassed by the sudden accumulation of
obstacles to his reforms. So, in like manner, is the
Sardinian CHARLES ALBERT, and so also must,
very speedily, be the Grand Duke of TUSCANY.
King LEOPOLD, depressed by the lamentable state of
his health, and the momentary antagonism of the Bel-
gians, threatens to abdicate in favour of a stripling
Prince; and the thrones of Spain and Portugal are
still only doubtfully occupied by ISABELLA and
MARIA DA GLORIA.
Among the lesser points of European interest are
the partial reconciliation of the Greek King OTno
and the Sublime Porte, and the opening. of the Diet
of the Swiss Confederation at Berne, amidst urgent
and numerous anxieties. Probable as many of the
consequences are, which may be inferred from the
foregoing circumstances, the most likely amongst them
are, however, as uncertain as the elevation of the
Due D'AUMALE into the Viceroy of Algeria, or of
ABD-EL-KADER into the Emperor of Morocco.

STANLEY grounds his removal •.erom office on other r
grounds, so as to exclude that appeal—to prevent him
from submitting his case to the judgment of learned
and impartial men. Such a proceeding cannot pos-
sibly be justified, and Mr. LANGSLOW would clearly
be entitled to a revision of his sentence from the pre-
sent Ministry, but for what, with all respect for the
Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, we must
designate as a most ridiculous and absurd regulation
which he has adopted, investing his predecessors with
an official infallibility, and refusing to reconsider or
interfere with any decision at which they might have
arrived, no matter how erroneous it may be.

We trust that this rule may speedily be altered,
and that Earl GREY may not, by a strict adherence
thereto, subject himself to the charge of being the
participator in and abettor of tyranny and oppression.

We read in a letter from Constantinople in the
Augsburgh Gazette —" The French Embassy had
addressed to the Porte reclamations relative to debts
contracted by the last alministration of Tripoli and
of Barbary, which debts the Porte took upon itselr.
The affair has just been analysed, the debt recog-
nised by the Porte as being due to France, being
settled at 1,600,000 Turkish piastres (about
400,000 f.)"
According to the last arrivals from St. Peters.
burgh, the Emperor IN ICIIOLAS will not go into Ger.
many this year. His MAJESTY is said to have directed
his Minister of Foreign Affairs to collect in August
at St. Petersburgh all the diplomatic representatives
of Russia to the Great Powers.

A letter from Berne of the 9ch says,—

" The day before yesterday M. de Rois-le-Comte went
to the President of the Diet, and rtad t) him a s .mewhat
long dispatch dated 4th July, by which M (it izot not
only fully ratified the language held by the Ambassador
in his famous discours ecrit, but even strengthened the
expression of his idea by ascribing to the great conti-
nental powers with respect to our country more hostile
intentions than a simple examination of the complica-
tions which may arise in case the majority of the Swiss
states should take collective measures against the mi-
nority. In a word, the written language of M. Guizot is
in complete opposition with the declarations that he
made in the Chamber of Deputies in the sitting in which
the interpellations teok place. After having read this
dispatch to M. Ochs, nbein, they Ambassador off red, ac-
cording to usage, to leave him a copy. The President of
tie Vorert at first replied by a positive refusal, but
afterwards consented to the formality, declaring, how-
ever, that as the dispatch was not addressed to him as
President, nor to the Vorort, he could not communi-
cate it officially either to the i 'let or the Directory."

The attention of the House of Commons was on

Tuesday evening taken up with another case of great
apparent hardship, and we will add of injustice, to
one of the official servants of the Crown in our colo-
nies, which places in the strongest light the system
too frequently adopted in our Colonial-office, to the
deep and serious injury, not only of the individuals
whose prospects in life are ruined on some frivolous
and insufficient pretexts, but also of the inhabitants of
the settlements in v,hich these instances of arbitrary
power are suffered to prevail, and which interferes
with and impedes the course of justice. The necessity of
establishing the perfect independence of the bench of
justice, of preserving those distinguished and learned
men who may be elevated to the judicial rank from
every undue influence, has long been recognised in
this country. It has been felt that without that

Madrid papers of the Bth have arrived.
The Faro of that day had been seized on account of
an article on the Palace question.
Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA was present at the
banquet given tothe Pope's Nuncio. The Ministers
had neglected to invite him, but the QUEEN caused
him to be sent for, and he was present at her
MAJESTY'S express desire.
The mission of Senor SARAGOSSA to NAUVAEZ to
induce the General to place himself at the head of a new
Cabinet had failed. NmtvAez replied that he could
not leave Paris, as he had pressing affairs to arrange

independence there could be no safety for
popular rights and liberties, no guarantee for the
honest and efficient discharge of the important duties
of their station. To suffer them to remain dependent

on the mere will and 'pleasure of the Executive, who,
in the event of any obnoxious decision or refusal on
their parts to become the instruments of tyranny and
oppression, could crush and ruin them, was found to
involve a principle of the most dangerous character.
We could scarcely hope for a course of strict ard
unbending rectitude from one whose. private interests
are brought into collision with his public duties, and
who is too well aware that the faithful and conscien-

MADRID BOLSA, JULY B.—The Three per Cents. closed
on the Bth inst. at 264 for cash ; thu Five per Cents. at
17 ; and Passives at 51 cash.

Intelligence has been received from Lisbon of the
9th, and from Oporto of the 10th instant, by the
Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship
Madrid, which arrived at Southampton last night.
The Junta of Oporto has dissolved itself, and
SALDANIIA and his troops have entered the town,
where they are at present in garrison with the
Spanish troops under CONCHA. The castle of Foz is
garrisoned by English marines. The Duke of
TERCEIRA and his fellow-captives have arrived in
Lisbon. The Ministers of Lisbon, and the English,
Spanish, and French Ambassadors have, it is said,
expressed their disapproval of the convention entered
into with the Junta before their surrender. The fol-
lowing proclamation has been issued by SALDANLIA :
" Comrades !—Her Majesty, through her magnanimity
granted the fullest amnesty, ar;cl no one is permitted to
remove the veil drawn over the past. The army, which
con .tautly has given most evident proofs of its obedience
and devotion to the person of the Queen, will show by
its conduct towards every Portuguese, whatever poll-
t.i.cal opinion he may have followed, that it knows how
to respect the will of its Sovereign, and will use every
effort to realise a sincere union of the Portuguese family.
If any individual, however, which I du notexpect, should
full in this sacred duty, punishment will immediately
follow the offence.

tious discharge of the latter will plunge the former
into irretrievable ruin. We can hardly hops that selfish
considerations will not ultimately triumph in the
great majority of cases, or expect unbiassed decisions
from those who are obliged to beccme the mere pup.
pets of a superior power. A British judge, therefore,
holds his office dam se bene gesserit, and cannot be
removed or suspended therefrom save on an address
to the Crown from both Houses of Parliament; and
it is due to the eminent and learned men who have
been selected for the ermine to state that there never
has been the slightest occasion to desire that the
power of unconditional dismissal had been retained
in the Crown.
This judicial independence is, if possible, more
urgently required in our dependencies than in the
mother country. Here there are reports of numerous
decisions published, by which almost every queStion
that may arise is governed and regulated ; there is
an observant press recording and circulating through-
out every part of the country the legal proceedings,
and, in the event of any impropriety in the conduct
thereof, ready to expose the error, and to awaken
the public indignation against the offender,
and there are many competent and learned men who
cannot be deceived or blinded by any sophistry or
plausibility, by which an effort may be made to make
the worse appear the better reason. By these means
the most efficient control is established. The voice
of public opinion is never slighted or despised. In
the great majority of our colonies these things are
totally different. The existing laws are generally a
sort of compound between the old lex loci and
those portions of the British law that from time to
time have been added thereto, and brought into ope-
ration in the district. The complicated and motly
character of this patchwork code necessarily affords a
much wider discretion to the presiding judge than
that which exists in the parent state. He is to a
certain extent treading on new ground, and may put
forward principles and reasons for his judgments
which could have no possible force here.
He has, therefore, a far greater opportunity, if dis-
honestly inclined, of abusing his power than is afforded
to an English judge. There are no reports of former
decisions to guide or direct him in his judgment, or
iitt opposition to which he must assign good and suffi-
cient reasons if disposed to overrule or set them aside.
There is no powerful journalist to expose his delin-
quencies should be go astray, and the members of the
bar practising in his court are few in number, and,
generally speaking, the anxious seekers after Go-
vernment patrona4e. Every reason, therefore, tends
to establish the vast importance of placing our colo-
nial judges in a proper position, and extending the
rule that has so long been beneficially acted on in
this country to our several colonies and dependencies.
Mr. LANGSLOW has certainly just grounds of
complaint, and we cannot believe that our
countrymen will regard with indifference the
manner in which he has been treated. Having
sbarristerontheWrestern
deiisrteiutigitu, ishedhimself as
rac at
ied with every
where
he had pprospect of
success, he, in the year 1832, accepted the office of
Attorney. General at Malta, and thereupon relin-
claisbed his English connexion, and devoted himself
andiih ewd'elaln,
da frompe
wholly to the public service. When he had filled that
situation six years, we are bound to believe efficiently
nthsieonfact of his having
subse-
quently selected for promotion, the office was abo-
been d
to hint until his
services could again b:vainsarantt,
available.
In 1840 he
was appointed one of the districte"
Judges of Ceylon, in
which situation he continued
his office by Lord STANLEY, to
act until deprived of
on o what we must cnsi-
der most frivoloaa and insufficient
grounds. Against
that sentence Mr. LA:scs Low appeal
its justice openly and publicland impeaches
forsooth, complains of the failure'.
of Lordh STANLEY,
his temper and
want of self- control and discretion,
" Oh wad some power. the giftie gin us,
To see ourselves as others see us."
We should hardly find that Noble Lord considering

"Head-quarters at Richouza,
July 2, 1841."
The Marquis of LOULE, and several other dis-
tinguished membrs of the Junta, have arrived at
Lisbon. The Conde Das ANTAS and the Visconde
SA DA BANDEIRA are still detained as prisoners. It
is rumoured that the QUEEN, unmindful of the recent
lesson which has been taught her, is about to recal
CnsTa. CABRAL. Several Cabralistas have been ap-
pointed to high official situations, and these appoint-
ments being in direct violation of the promises
made when foreign intervention was asked for,
have given great umbrage. Neither has the QUEEN
performed her promise of entering at once upon a
constitutional course of government. A decree was
issued on the 9th, continuing to the end of July
the suspension of the guarantees of personal liberty,
and prohibiting until that day the publication of
newspapers and pamphlets.

sailed from Oporto to Vigo on the 3d. CESAR DE

tlemen considered it prudent to retire from Oporto
until tranquillity would be fully restored.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.
They confirm the report which we mentioned yes-
terday of the confession and attempted suicide of M.
TESTE. The evidence produced before the Chamber
of Peers on Monday was conclusive as to the guilt of
M. TESTS. It appears that M. PELLAPRA, finding
that an attempt was making to save M. TESTE by
convicting him (PELLAPRA) of swindling, determined
to tell the truth, and confiding to Madame PELLAPRA
certain documents, desired her to transmit them to
the Chancellor. Those documents were transmitted
accordingly, and were verified by M. ROQTJEBERT,
the notary of PELLAPRA, before the Chamber on
Monday.
The evidence of M. ROQUEBERT left no doubt
on any person's mind that the bribe of 100,000
francs had been received by the Minister. While
this witness was deposing to the fact messengers
from the Chancellor were searching the books at
the proper department of the Minister of Finance to
verify an account furnished by Madame PELLAPRA
from among her husband's papers, described as a me-
morandum of the sum paid to the Minister, and the
shape in which it was paid—viz., Treasury bills.
Towards the latter part of the day extracts from the
Treasury books were exhibited, showing that on the
2d of March, 1843, M. PELLAPRA had taken four
Treasury hills, for which he paid 94,000 f., which fell
due on the 2(1 of September following, but were not
demanded till the 12th ; and on that same day, the
12th, CHARLES TESTE, the Minister's son, lodged
95.000 f. for a Treasury bill to his own order, payable
the 12th of March following. The memorandum
b •ing thus verified, M. TESTE was called on to offer
some explanation, but he merely demanded a copy of
that document as well as of the notes and papers
furnished by Madame PELLAPRA. The transaction,
he said, appeared to belong to his son. Leaving the
court,
mhoalnv.ever, he was heard to exclaim that he was
a lost

;hat the ball did n)t enter, and fell to the ground.

..... ......
No wound was inflicted, and the only trace of the

explosion was a black mark from the powder on the
flannel waistccat and the skin.• It was remarked
that the discharge of the second pistol produced a
severe contusion and a violent swelling, and that it
was with great difficulty M. TESTS could be induced
to submit to have the contusion dressed."

The trial was resumed on Tuesday, but M. TEsTE
was not present.
The report of the Commissary of Police was
read, which stated that having heard of the attempt
at suicide by M. TESTE, he (the Commissary) had
repaired to the prison of the Luxembourg, and upon
his addressing an interrogation to M. TE•:TE, the latter
acknowledged what he had done, saying " It is true;
I did attempt to commit suicide. I have ever pre-
ferred honour to life. It was my own son who pro-
cured me the pistols, and I thank him for the act,

give

which I esteem one of filial piety."
The declaration of Dr. BAYLE was next read, de
scribing the state of the prisoner. There was a con
tusion on the left breast. The pistol had been s
tightly pressed upon the region of the heart as to have
been deprived of air, and the ball could not penetrate.
The doctor ordered an application of leeches ; M.
TESTE obstinately refused to allow their application
but permitted him to apply an emollient poultice. The
pistols were pocket pistols.
The director of the prison stated that he heard a
report, which he first took to be a squib. Having
asked a turnkey if he had heard a report, and the
latter answering in the negative, he went up to M.
TESTE'S room. He saw seated on the staircase M.
TESTE'S servant, looking pale and mute with fear,
He hastened by him into the chamber. M. TESTE
had on his trousers and shirt only. Witness ques-
tioned M. TESTE, asking with great emotion, " What
ha;te you done ?" " Monsieur le Directeur," coldly
replied M. TESTS, and putting his hand upon his
breast, "I am not hurt, and I am less moved than
you are." The witness called for the doctor to be
sent for, and set about looking for the pistols. M.
TESTE told him he need not trouble himself seeking,
as they were on his desk.
Another witness confirmed this testimony, adding
that M. TESTE was perfectly calm.
It was proved by the man servant that prisoner's
counsel, Messrs. PAILLET and DEBRANT, had dined
with the prisoner in the evening, and that nothing
occurred to excite suspicion of his intention. He
suddenly saw a light, and heard a slight report, when
running into his master's chambers he exclaimed,
" M. le President, what have you done ?" and then
ran out, crying for help, and sat down on the stairs.
where he was found by the director of the prison.
The Chincellor then c Ailed on M. RLNOUARD
the reporter of the commission, to read a letter he had
received from M. TESTE that morning. It was as

"M. le Chancelier,—The incidents of yesterday
hearing allow no room for contradiction. Furthe
discussion becomes useless. I accept all that the
Court may choose to do in my absence, for my pre-
sence is henceforth of no necessity, unless indeed it
should judge right to constrain my appearance by
force. I respect its authority, and resign myself to it."
The Greflier of the Chamber read a report of the
huis der, to the effect that M. TI.STE had refused to
accompany him to the bar of the court. He said
that " his presence was useless ; that he could no:
combat the facts produced against hint; and that he
dearly expiated the one sole act of weaknEss of his
whole life."
The Procureur•General then called upon the Court
to declare all the accused guilty, and the counsel for
the accused were proceeding with their addresses
when the past left.
M. PELLAPRA, it is said, has arrived at Haarlem, in
Holland. It is generally supposed that General
CUBIERES will be acquitted, and that tke others will
be found guilty of corruption.
The Constitutionnel states that the secretary to
the Mayor of Thionville poisoned himself on Fridiy
to avoid the consequences of a prosecution for cor-
ruption. The system is producing its fruits. The
trial of M. TESTF will not only shake the Mi-
nistry—it will do Tn.0r,3,, it will 'hake the system
according to which constitutional government has
been lately managed in France. It will do for the
violation of the Charter by fraud what the Revolution
of 1830 did for the violation of the Charter by force
—render it henceforth impossible, and at length the
Charter will become a truth.
A meeting of the members of the Ministerial
majority is to take place at the house of M. DELES-
SERT to consider the course which it may be proper
to adopt under existing circumstances. ,

REMOVAL OF THE COURT TO
THE ISLE OF WIGHT.
PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—The expected arrival.
of the Court at this port this afternoon, en route to the
Isle of Wight, caused the moat I,vely interest to be ma
nifested by many hundreds of , the inhabitants of thee
towns and neighbourhood.
At 25 minutes to three o'clock her Majesty, the Prince
Consort, the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, Prirce
Alfred, Princess Mice, and the infant Princess Helena,
attended by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, the G.untess
of Mount Ethicumbe, Lady in Waiting; the lion. Miss
Murray and Miss MtDonald, Maids of Honour ; Ead
Morley, Lord in Waiting, ; Major-General Bowles,
Master of tin Household; Colonel Phipps, Colonel Sey-
mour, Colonel Buckley, Equerries, and Dr. Meyer, left
the Nine E ins terminus of the South Western Railway
in the royal state train, which was accompanied by a
court of directors of the company, the secretary (Mr. L.
P. Campbell), the general manager (Mr. C. Stevin), the
engineer (Mr. Gocch), and the special guards, for Gos-
port, where it arrived at a quarter before five o'clock,
which was the signal for a salute from the Commander-
in-Chief's ship Victory, 104, Captain Pasco, with yards
manned and dressed.
On the platform at the Clarence-vard her Majesty was
received by Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart, the Corn-
mander•in Chief ; Major,General the Right lion. Lord
Frederick Fozeharence, G.C.H., Lieut.-Governor of thr
garrison, with the keys and staff; Rear-Admiral Hyd
Parke:, C 8., Superintendent of the dockyard ; Captaii
Sir W. E. Parry, Superintendent, and the other officers
of the Royal Garence Victualling Establishment; Cap-
tain the Right Hon. Lord Adolphus Fitaclarence,
G.C.H., of the Royal yachts; Mr. Stevens, of the South-
Western RAlway Jompany; flag-Lieutenants Cochrane
and the lion. W. S. Spencer; Major Harvey, aide•de-
caMp to the General; Captain Servente, commanding
tire Royal Engineers at Gosport; and a guard of honour
of the 60th-Royar Rifle Regiment, commanded by Major
Crombie, Captain Jones, Lieutenants Roe, Fletcher, and
Bowles.
Sir Charles Ogle escorted her Majesty to the state
barge, and assisted in the Royal Family. Lord Adolphus
Fitaclarence then took the helm, and steered the barge
through the Weevil Lake (it being dead low water) to
the Fairy, under the charge of Commander Crispin. A
tew minutes were occupied in embarking the whole of
the royal party, when the vessel was released from her
moorings, arid left the harbour under the cheers of the
seamen and visitors afloat, and the salutes usually fired
upon such occasions.
On approaching Spithead the fl.,et under Sir Charles
Napier presented a splendid sp-ctacle.
The Fairy arrived at Cowes harbour a little before six
o'clock, and disembarked the royal party at Trinity
wharf, whence they proceeded in four carriages to
Osborne, where the royal standard was immediately
hoisted from the summit, of the high tower.
The Court is believed to se journ at Osborne until the
dissolution of Parliament, and we are informed that the
royal children will remain at Osborne during her
Majesty's visit to Scotland.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH; WEDNESDAY.—The Amphitrite, 26
was commissioned at this port this morning by the ap-
pointment to her of Captain T. R. Eden (1844). She is
to have a complement of 240 men, which, we imagine,
she will not be long in picking up, men_ having a stron4
feeling in tavour of small vessels of this class, and Cap-
tain Eden being a highly esteemed and generally liked
officer. The Amphitrite was a 42-gun frigate, built at
Bombay in 1816, after the lines of the French Leda.
She is of 1,064 tins, and will carry a very heavy'arma-
ment. This is her first commission as a ranee corvette.
An order has been down for some days past to enter
men for the Cambrian, 36, at this port, which is expected
daily to be put in commission by Captain the Hon. H
Keppell, purported to carry a broad pendant to the E )sl
India and China station, to relieve the Fox, 42, Commo•
dore Sir H. Blackwood, and not to go to New South
Wales, as stated on Monday.
The Vengeance, 84, Captain Lushington, has at length
got her reduced complement, men having exhibited an
alacrity to join since Commander Aldham has been ap.
pointed to her.

MODEL ROOM OF THE ELECTRIC

TELEGRAM COMPANY.

We were yesterday gratifik d by being permitted to
inspect the models deposited in the model room of the
Electric Telegraph Company, at 345, Strand. In this
room there are working models of every electric
telegraph that has ever ben invented, and it is
most interesting to have the gradual perfectionement
•f the instrutnent, from its fir., t appearance as a mere
philosophical tey to its present state, in which it may
be considered as a power of even greater potency than
the printing press itself. Wondzrful, however, as is
the double needle telegraph (the one at present in e-
it bids fair to be superseded by what we may cae
the symbolic printing telegraph. The powers of this
telegraph are at present incalculable, but already by its
means a thousand letters have been transmitted in one
minute from one terminus to another. In the same room
there is an electrical clock, which requires no winding up,
and which, were it not liable to wear out from wear and
tear, of material, might be considered as having solved
the problem of perpetual motion. The clock will go as
long as the metal of which it is made shall last, or th,
electric wires shall remain. We also visited the business,
room of theestablishment, and witnessed the transmission
of a message to Southampton, and the return of an answer in
less than half a minute. The gentleman who attended
us over the rooms was most attentive in showing the
working of the models, and most lucid in his explana-
tions of the modus operandi of the various telegraphs,
and of the relative values of the various inventions and
improvements.

THE LATE

FATAL

ACCIDENT

OFF TILE FAIRY STEAM-BOAT,

Late on Wedi:osiiay Mr. J. P InP, the deputy coroner,
opened a very interesting incpury at the Green Man
Tavern, airkhouse-lane, Billingsgate, on view of the
body of a remarkably fine young female, aged twenty,
name unknown, the deceased being supposed to be the
young person who was drowned or. Sunday evening last
at Southwark-bridge, off the Fairy, a Woolwich steamer,
and some brief account of which has already been pub
fished. _ _

WiHim Arnold, of 12, Water-walk, Greenwich,
waterman, deposed that about half-past three o'clock
that (Wednevday) morning he found the. body of de-
cf--ased floating on the surface of the water jut by_llt itv,t,eslls

- coincided with the account at the police-
station of the party who was lost on. Sunday.
George Arnold, son of the last corroborated
the testimony given above.
City policeman, 16G, William Byford, the beadle of
St. Mary at-Hill, and James Martin, city police-sergeant
61, were examined at considerable length, but none of
them could give such information as might eventually
lend to an identification, and, after a protracted inves-
tigation,
Mr. PAYNE rmarked, that this inquiry was one of a
most important character, because, if the deceased were
the person represented to have been lust off the Fairy on
Sunday last, it would se, m that her death had arisen
from oue of two causes. viz., that the steamer was so ex-
cessively crowded as to endanger the lives of the public
in such a manner, and which he regretted to say was but
too frequently the case with the majority of the vessels
on the Thames; or, on the other hand, deceased may
have been pushed over. In the latter instance, it would
be their duty, in common justice, to investigate the
matter thoroughly; and with regard to the overloading
of steamboats, he (Mr. Payne) considered it of such
public insporance that he was d.termined the present
case should have a mast rigid inquiry, and would, there-
f.ore, in consequence of the lateness of the hour, sug-
gest to the jury an adjournment, in the hope that the
body would in the interim be identified.

PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—A wonderful instance of
p-evidential escape from drowning through the gallant
co :duct of a clergyman, occurred on Monday week.
A 'mut six o'clock on the morning of that day William
Matey, a labourer, residing in the parish of South Pool,
Devon, went down to theSalcombe river to get a boat,
which was moored out in the tide beyond his reach. He
stripped himself, but not hting able to swim, he colleckd
two or three oars, a spar, and gangboard, which he placed
under his chest wit.,out lashing thpni together; then
paddling with his hands endeavoured to reach the boat.
The moment, however, he got into the run of the tide,
out of his depth, the timbers parted company, and he
was at on 1., left to hie Own resources. For a moment or
two he con'inued above water, hut jast as he was sink-
ing, for the second time, the Rev. E. L. Davies, of 1101.
well House, near Kingsbridge, who had arrived at the
spot, plunged into the water with his clothes on, but
before he could reach him the drowning man had disap-
peared. Mr. Davies then took oue of the oirs which
was floating and pashed it down upon the ?nal, whom he
