M. A rrago, according to one of the Parisian journals,
predicts that Europe will this autumn be visited by the
most sultry weather ever yet on record, particularly in
France and the British- Isles. Now the celebrated Llama
cloth Registered Palet& most opportunely comes to the
rescue, as it can bo had weighing even but eleven ounces;"
this is called the Palettit d'Ete, and is chiefly used in tro-
pical climates, and in this country in an open carriage to
keep the dust oil' the other coat. But those of a medium
eu')startce are useful six months in the year, as at this sultry
weather they are worn without any other coat, and though
thus sensibly affording much ease to the wearer, loses no-
thin in appearance, hut, on the contrary, falls gracefully to
g
the figure. H. J. and D. Nicoll are the patentees, 22, Corn-
hill, and the chief warehouse is 114, Regent-street.
THE M.4.ILS. SOUTHAMPTON, AUG, 7. —The
Oriental Company's steam-ship Royal Tar, Captain Hamilton'
left the dec.- at three r.x. this day, with the outward mails for
Gibraltar, Cadiz, Lisbon, &c., a full cargo of bale goods, and several
passengers. The Company's boat Tagus, Captain Brookes, from
Trebizond and Constantinople, is due on the 9th instant at the
Metherbank. She will bring the East India and other mails from
Malta. The Queen steamer, Captain Russell, with the Peninsular
And other mails, is expected on the I:ith from Gibraltar. There is
nothing of any interest moving in the dock or port.
Thursday morning, just before ten o'clock, a portion
of the roof of a range of stabling and workshops in the oc-
cupation of two or three persons, fell with a fearful crash in
Doctors'-commons. The whole of the lead gut-
tering was ripped off, and the major part of the tiles fell into
the street. Several persons who were puling at the time
narrowly escaped.

imiuted tO -Countenance and support him. We have
thrown out these suggestions; nit as approving
the practice, but since, unfortunately, it must
be s,:tttinUed for a brief space, to do away
with some few of the objections. It is impossible
to go through the entire debate. The admirable
speech of Dr. nOWRING could not be curtailed or
abridged. It should be deeply studied, and uni-
versally circulated. We trust that steps will be taken
to effect this object, so that every Englishman may
be fully informed on the subject in all its fearful
details. We shell only say to the Learned Gentle-
man) persevere in the course you have so well com-
menced, and you will receive the cordial esteem of all
good men—the approbation of your own conscience.

Another protectionist hero has just received an
ovation. The civic crown has scarcely settled down
upon the ears of Lord G. BENTINCK, when another—
just as gaudy with the paint of flattery and the tinsel
of egotism—is awarded to the Marquis of GRANBY.
If banquets are to be given to every individual
capable of spouting nonsense with fluency, or of
pressing upon the Legislature theories utterly used
up and exploded, then must GUNTER enlarge his
cuisine, then must TOOLE open an academy for toast-
masters, then must Sheffield and Covent-garden
increase their accumulation of cutlery and vegetables.
An epidemic of dinner-parties appears to be raging
in various agricultural districts, the contagion is
spreading with alarming rapidity, and, unless some
corrective be speedily discovered, many of our
1 eading-string representatives are in danger of
being carried off by a surfeit. If the protectionists
are really desirous of propitiating the favour of their
countrymen, they are proceeding upon the very worst
system possible. Instead of decreasing the
amount of ridicule attached to their previous
exertions, they will merely be rendering them-
selves more thoroughly ludicrous. Although
John Bull has a proverbial affection for "the roast
tied' of Old England " and other masterpieces of the
art of cookery, he still abhors any immoderate grati-
fication of the appetite ; and least of all is his admi-
ration aroused by seeing his legislators stuffing them-
selves like so many turkies, and guzzling
each other's health like so many toadies. Sir
JOHN FALSTAFF, when taunted by PISTOL with
having received threepence halfpenny nut of seven-
pence, as his share in a petty theft, replies, " Reason,
man ! Reason. Shall I endanger my soul gratis ?"
And precisely upon this metaphysical principle of
compensation we presume the protectionists are
acting at the present moment ; they claim
the contents of the larder, in recompence
for endangering their popularity. In this we
conceive they are guided by a marvellous obliquity of
judgment; their resolves, like those of CU.RISTOPIIER
HARLOW, are
" In folly ripe, in reason rotten."

2d. To reduce the export duty on rags from 2 rii-doi-
lars 80 sous (sf. 25c.) the quintal, to 1 rix-dollar 20
sous (21. 30c.) the quintal. The ordonnance will, it
is said, be immediately signed by the KING.

The POPE is becoming every day more and more
popular. The amnesty has attached to his fortunes
the very men who, up to the present time, have been
the most formidable enemies of tle Popedom in
Italy. A letter from Rome, of the 28th July, pub-
lished in the Univers, says :

" Nothing is spoken of at Rome and throughout all the
provinces, but the fine character and noble intentions of the
Holy Father. Two months have not yet expired since his
accession, and yet what grand actions has he not performed!
I cannot refrain from making you acquainted with what is
in the mouths of every one in this city. On the occasion of
his accession the Pope made a donation to each of the pa-
rishes of Rome of fifty piastres,' to be drawn for by lot among
the poorest of the young girls residing in them. The draw-
ing was made in public under the direction of the cure, and
the first name issuing from the urn was, according to the
intentions of his Holiness, to receive the dowry. The cures
of Rome are men of integrity, full of zeal and charity; but
one alone amongst them has not been irreproachable. For
some reason unknown he refused to give the sum to the girl
whose name was first drawn, and, by a second drawing,
awarded it to another. The father of the former made re-
monstrances, but the cure rejected his applications under
some pretence of which I am ignorant. The Pope, however,
is a lover of justice, and accessible to the complaints of the
poor. O❑ being informed of what had taken place, he
severely reprimanded the cure, and ordered him to give
the fifty piastres to the girl properly entitled to it, and a
similar sum from his own pocket to the other girl, whose
name was drawn in the second drawing. I leave you to
judge of the effect of such conduct amongst a poor popu-
lation ! An important functionary had made to his Holiness
a report which had an iniquitous object. The Pope having
received better information on the subject trom a Cardinal,
he again interrogated the functionary on the business, and
received an answer in accordance with the conclusions of
his report. His Holiness then looking sternly at him, said:
You are the first person that has dared to deceive us—do
not again appear in our presence.' A vacancy for a Canon
of St. Peter's having occurred, a list of candidates was pre-
sented to the Pope, each having more or less claims to the
situation. Very well,' said his Holiness, ' I have made my
choice; but the person whom I have selected is not on this
list—it is the Abbe Ponzileone, an intelligent priest, full of
Christian zeal and charity, who has devoted his life to good
works. Such men are dear to us; we wish to reward them.'
It was not enough for a heart so expansive, and so filled
with the charity of Jesus Christ, to have delivered political
prisoners, his Holiness has also set at liberty a great num-
ber of persons confined for debt, having devoted a consider-
able sum from his private purse for that purpose."

What, let us inquire, are the claims of such noble-
men as Lord GEORGE BENTINCK and the Marquis
of GRANBY to such lavish honours, such ful-
some panegyrics, and such vociferous accla-
mations as are awarded them at these most ec-
centric demonstrations ? Is a very fifth-rate
maiden speech any tolerable reason for such adula-
tion ? Is a great; facility in the utterance of per-
sonalities, or a morbid intensity of vituperation
an admissible reason for such ostentatious
jubilees ? As well might Admiral BYNG
have been voted a peerage, instead of being
executed, for losing Minorca. As well might
General BURGOYNE have received a pension for show-
ing himself a poltroon; or the Duke of YORK re-
ceived the thanks of Parliament for the failure of the
Walcheren expedition. Besides all this, the real
friends of protection to agriculture are unconsciously
damaging their own cause by pandering to the
vanity of those few advocates of their policy
who have evinced any talent whatever. Let
them reflect that orators, like plants, can-
not be forced into premature existence without
debilitating their strength and materially lessening
their natural qualities. Great statesmen have never
been fostered by adulation. FREDERICK the GREAT
was treated with contumely by his father, PETER
the GREAT with contempt by his sister. HALL, at the
dawning of his career as an orator, never heard even
the whisperings of flattery. CICERO himself listened
to no. encomiums upon his intellectual powers when
he was an aspirant and a scholar. We feel the utter-
most contempt for those who can administer the nar-
cotic of extravagant praise to a young mind just as it
is beginning to display some little glimpses of talent ;
and we entertain sentiments of the deepest sympathy
and commiseration towards the victims of a practice
so miserably pernicious.
Five hundred gentlemen of the midland counties
assemble together at Waltham, in Leicestershire—
with what purpose ? Why, in the language of the
Chairman, they assembled together for the purpose of
" paying their tribute of thanks to the Marquis of
GRANBY for the ability, zeal, and perseverance
with which he had fought the cause of protection in
the House of Commons!" A few lines after this
turgid compliment, we find the expressions, "his
noble conduct"—" ability hardly second to any one."
Then we are assured that the young Marquis had
made the greatest sacrifice a public man can make, and
pieces
v e industry
of of
that he was, moreover, competent to " take the lead in
this mighty empire !"
All supportt hes eoi
grosshe
flattery being uttered in the
presence of this prodigy of a peer; every fresh
epithet of praise being received with shouts of
.t
applause by upwards of .500 persons, including
half-a-dozen noblemen, and the whole of this
wretched piece of adulation being crowned by the
company " rising as one man and giving repeated
bursts of cheering !" If that be not sufficient
to damage the most splendid intellect and
the most admirably constituted mind, then
was our great SLIAKSPERE altogether unacquainted
with the workings of the human heart. It
is all very reasonable, and very natural, and very
beautiful, no doubt, to hear the Duke of RUTLAND
declaring of his son, the Marquis, "that in every word
he has ever uttered—that in every act he has ever
done—that the whole course of his life has testified
to me most satisfactorily the purity of his mind,
the integrity of his purposes, the probity of his prin-
ciples, and the excellence of his judgment."
It is the tribute of an affectionate
father, honourable alike to both individuals
concerned. But when we perceive the flattery
lavished upon a young man like the Marquis of
GRANBY by Mr. FLETCHER NORTON and others
—when we see the character of a man painted,
in his presence, in colours the most exag-
gerated, with lines the most unnatural, and
the paint laid on an inch thick, we regard the whole
as a miserable spectacle of voluntary subserviency
and human weakness. Those who remember the
circumstances attendant upon the passage of
Free Trade through Parliament will feel
how disproportioned is the monstrous eulogiurn
showered upon this precocious politician, the Marquis
of GRANBY, to his maiden speech upon that occasion. It
is the most misjudged huckstering of words man ever
heard of. Surely, if we are to believe his panegyrists,
the Most Noble the Marquis of GRANBY is too great
a man for the House of Commons!

Madrid papers to the Ist of August have been
received.

The regiment of Don FRANCISCO D'Assis has been
ordered to Madrid, so that it would appear that it is
determined that he shall have no excuse for absenting
himself from Court.

General VILLALONGA, the Captain General of
Galicia, has published an order from General SANZ,
the Minister at War, dated July 11, directing him
to repel by force any attempt oh the part of the
Spanish refugees to enter the Spanish territory, and
to follow them into Portugal, " for it is the will of
her MAJESTY," adds the Minister, " that, in that case,
those emigrants be followed until they shall have
been beaten, without any regard to the limits of that
country."
This vapouring, if carried out, might be productive
of disastrous consequences, but, profiting by the les-
son taught to FERDINAND VII., just twenty years
since, by Mr. CANNING, when the worthy royal petti-
coat-maker, in a fit of unwonted valour, threatened to
invade Portugal in support of the Marquis of CHAVES,
General SANZ, it is said, recollecting that " the
better part of valour is discretion," followed up this
very warlike proclamation by an order to the troops
to withdraw altogether from the Portuguese frontier.

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday.
The results of 453 elections out of 459 are now
known. Of the Deputies returned in these 453
cases, 280 are Ministerialists and 173 Oppositionists,
giving a Ministerial majority of 107. Of the 'six returns
not received, two are from Corsica, where Marshal
SEBASTIANI and M. DE GASPARIN are certain of being
returned without opposition, and it is expected that
in the other four cases two Ministerialists and two
Oppositionists have been returned. This 107 ma-
jority includes the small band who support Count
MOLE and M. DUFAURE, and who might, perhaps,
if they saw a chance of ousting M. GUIZOT and
replacing 'him by Count MOLE, be inclined to join
the Opposition in a factious vote for that purpose.
They will, however, now most probably become re-
gular supporters of the Ministry, seeing they have
no chance of attaining power, as the oppo-
nents of M. GUIZOT, for so large is his personal
following in the new Chamber, that he could beat
the MOLE and DUFAURE sections, and all the Oppo-
sition united, by a majority of from 70 to 80 votes—
a majority numerically greater, and more compact
and united than any Government has obtained since
1830.

The Chambers meet on the 17th to elect the Pre.
sident and officers. M. SAUZET is the Ministerial
candidate for the Presidency, and M. DUPIN and M
DUFAURE will, it is said, be started by the Oppositi3n

Intelligence has been received from Tiflis of the
20th June, of the complete success of SCHAMYL'S ex.
pedition for the destruction of the Russian establish-
ments in the Caucasus. At the head of 20,000 men
he rushed from his mountain fastnesses upon the
Cossack settlements in the Kaburdias, took sixteen or
twenty of them, and seized all the property and the
inhabitants they contained. The booty found was
immense, and in order to secure it, SCHAMYL put the
greater part of his prisoners to death in order not to
be impeded in his fight to the mountains with his
plunder.

Under the date Vienna, July 26, we find the fol-
lowing in the German Gazette of Frankfort :
" Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg set off last week for Bel.
giutn and England. He will return in September, but will
not remain here long, for, according to the favourite project
of the English Ministry, this Prince is destined to become
the husband of Queen Isabella. The father and mother of
the Prince will resist this marriage, from the experience ac-
quired in Portugal. The high position of the Coburgs is a
source of grief for the female branches of the family."
A letter from Copenhagen, of the 30th ult., states
that, by order of the KING, the administration of the
customs has submitted to him an ordonnance, having
for its object, Ist. To reduce by a fifth the tonnage du-
ties on vessels leaving the Danish states for Norway,
Sweden, the ports in the Baltic, Holland, Belgium,
England, France, and Spain to Cape Finisterre ; and

The heat continued intense. The thermometer was

SUGAR DUTIES BILL.
of this 11111, _

Sir J. R. REID earnestly hoped the Government would
pause before they passed this Bill. In its present shape it
was eminently unjust and oppressive, for they were, in fact
about to destroy the only advantage which they West India
colonies possessed, whilst they were opening up a previous
opposition against them. If this Bill were to pass, there
ought to be some great facilities given for the introduction
of free labour into the colonies.

Dir. P. M. STEWART quite assented to all that had been

( said by the Ilon. Member for Dover (Sir J. R. Reid), and he
I warned the Ministeni how they built up a monument to them-
! selves on the ruins of those noble West India colonies, which
' had always been considered an integral portion of this empire.
The easiest part, and only the easiest, of those treasures was
passed. The whole principle of fre,e trade ought to be applied
to the colonies, or none of it.
The CHANCELLOR of this EXCHEQUER said that it
was necessary to pass this measure now, and that it was in
the contemplation of Government to take the whole of this
matter up early next session, when the introduction of free
labour would be fully gone into, it,nd every remedy provided.
After a few words from Mr. P. BORTHWICK,
The Bill was read a third time, with a few .verbal amend-
ments, and passed,
RATEABLE PROPERTY (IRELAND) BILL.
This Bill went through Committee, and was ordered to be
reported.

FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL.
This Bill w,ts read a third time and passed.

EXCLUSIVE •TRADING (IRELAND) BILL.
This Bill was also read a third time and passed.
DUTIES ON RYE, PEAS, AND BEANS.

Mr. C. VILLIERS moved the copsideration of the peti-
tion of Robert L.aule Gillies and George Home, respecting
the duties on rye, peas, and beans. They set forth that the
Corn Bill assimilated the duty on these articles to that
charged on the importation of barley. The consequence
was, that great hardship was inflicted on the dealers of those
articles, because, when barley was high in price,
rye, peas, and beans were invariably dear. From
May to August malt was not much in demand,
whilst the demand for other articles of grain was great. Now
he apprehended that this was a mistake, and that it would
be rectified by a Treasury order.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER considered
that the late Government intended that the measure should
work in the way pointed out by the Hon. Member, and could
not consent to abrogate it by a Treasury order.
OFFICES OF THE HtJUSE. •
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER also obtaintd
leave to bring in a Bill to amend an Act of the fifty second
year of his late Majesty King George the Third, relating to
the offices of the House of Commons.

PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND).
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER also obtained
leave to introduce a Bill to extend and consolidate the
powers hitherto exercised by the Commissioners of Public
Works in Ireland, and to appoint additional Commis-
sioners.
