Federal Commission assembled for the last time. The

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 18th have arrived.
The Gaceta publishes an order that prayers shall
be put up in all the churches of the kingdom for the
happy delivery of the QUEEN. Deputations from

PORTUGAL.
Advices have been received from Lisbon to the
19th.

Three attempts at getting up among the troops a
pronunciamento in favour of the CABaALS had signally
tailed. The first was an attempt to excite a Cabralist
demonstration among the 16th Infantry, on the 10th.
The object was to assassinate Colonel MAGELHARS,
recently appointed to the command by SALDANITA, to
restore Colonel F. TABORUDA, the Cabralist Colonel,
and to expel the Septembristas. The plot was dis-
covered, and several non-commissioned officers were
arrested. The next was an attempt made by the Ca-
bralists to murder the Governor of Beija, in Alemtejo,
on the 10th. In order to encourage the movement,
the report was circulated that dosE CABRAL bad been
appointed Minister, whereupon the Cabralist
parti-
sans broke into the Government-house and attempted
to murder the Governor, who, being a very powerful
man, resisted his assailants, beat them off, and made
his escape. A detachment from Evora has restored
tranquillity in Beija. On the 14th an attempt was
made by certain Cabralist officers to induce the sth
Cacadores to mutiny against the Septembrista officers
lately appointed, by telling them that the Septem-
bristas were sold to the Cabralites, who wished to
disarm the battalion. At first the men credited the
statement, but when told that the 16th Infantry were
coming to fraternize with them their eyes were
opened : they shut the gates of the castle, and re- I
fused to open them to any one but the Duke of SAL-
DANUA himself, who soon after arrived, and placed
the rebellious officers under arrest.

The Miguelite meeting on the 10th was tolerably
well attended. They decided on taking no part what-
ever in the forthcoming elections. In the provinces,
however, they seem to be of a different opinion, for
they are to be met with in many of the electoral
committees.

NEW RULE.

Rule XXXIV. states profits shall be divided evory
five years, one tenth to the Benevolent Fund, nine-tenths

As an accompaniment to the above rules, it was re.
solved—

"That a subscription of ss. shall be paid by all clerks.
assurers claiming to continue members of the Benevo-
lent Department, in respect of policies of assurance, the
premiums of which were paid during the year 1851, be-
fore the alteration of the rules, such subscriptions to be
paid on or before the 29th September.
A vote of thanks was then passed to Mr. R. H.
Jones for his able, impartial, and courteous conduct
in the chair.

The CHAIRMAN expressed his 'gratification at find-
ing that the proceedings of the evening had arrived at
so happy a termination. He felt strongly that what
had been done would be of essential benefit to the
association, whose success and welfare it should ever
be his anxious desire to promote to the best of his
ability. 'When they met again next year, he hoped
they would be enabled to show that the course they
had adopted had tended to augment the funds and
increase the usefulness of the association.—(Cheers.)
Tho meeting did not terminate until a late hour.
London, England, 1851-07-24

NEW RULE.

ALDERMAN SALOMONS.

Sir B. HALL thought it advisable to state what
course he intended to take with reference to the petition
from the electors of Greenwich, The NobI• Lord at
the head of the Government had postponed his resolu-
tion respecting Alderman Salomons until Friday
next. Now he (Sir B. Hall) would present the
above petition to-morrow and move that it be printed
with the votes in order that it might be placed in the
hands of Members by Saturday morning. He was per-
mitted by the Noble Lord to say that instead of pressing
his resolution on Friday, he would further postpone it
until Monday, and he (Sir B. Hall) would then take the
opportunity of moving that the electors be heard at the
bar of the House.

Lord J. RUSSELL said it was his intention to move
tho resolution on Monday, but he thought it would be
better for the Hon. Baronet to move his proposition that
the electors of Greenwich be heard at the bar as a sub-
stantive motion.

Broca EXCHANGE.—There is little new of any importance
to be reported with respect to the proceedings on our Stock
Exchange to-day. The Railway Share Market continues
quiet, buyers and sellers being equally scarce. The brokers,
who generally are less engaged in speculative transactions
than those of busier marts, maintain a piaci i but far from sa-
tisfactory reserve. There were sales in private, but no
transactions in railway stock were reported on 'Change.
Quotations generally were in advance of those yesterday.

GERMANY.

The German Journal of Frankfort, of the 21st,
says :—" Several journals have spoken of a proposi-
t:on made by Austria and Pi u,sia, at the sitting of
the Germanic diet of the Bth, having for its object to
establish a central committee of federal police. If
we are well informed, these journals are more or Jess
in the wrong. The proposition has not precisely for
its object the establishment of any authority of the

hind. It gee forth r, irr 11;,t • 4.,iclart-
itself competent to summon the particular states
whose internal situation should threaten the safety of
the Confederation, to put their constitution, their
laws, and their policy in harmony with the funda-
mental laws of the Confederation. This proposition
being based on the articles of the fundamental laws
of the Confederation, and the stipulations of the
second committee of Dresden, the great powers are of
opinion that the Diet might occupy itself immedi-
ately with the affair, without requiring any prelimi-
nary instructions. Bavaria and Hanover, however,
hesitate on this point. We moreover learn, that
Austria and Prussia have proposed to the Germanic
Diet to suppress all the journals whose tendencies
ere in opposition to the monarchical principle, reserv-
ing however to itself to make a general law on the
liberty of the pres:!."

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Their Lordships met at Five o'clock to hear the
Royal Assent given by Commission to certain Bills.
The Lords Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor,
the Lord Privy Seal, and the Earl of Carlisle.
The following were the public Bills which received
the Royal Assent:—
Survey of Great Britain.
School Sites Amendment.
Landlord and Tenant.
Prisons (Scotland).
British White Herring Fishery.
Common Lodging Houses.
Lodging Houses.
Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction.
Highway Rates.
Loan Societies.
Militia Ballots Suspension.
Assessed Taxes Composition.
Public Works, Fisheries, &c.
Apprentices to Sea Service (Ireland) (No. 2).
Marriages (India).
Turnpike Acts Continuance.
Turnpike Trusts Arrangement.
Inhabited House Duty.
Burgesses and Freemen's Parliamentary Franchise.
More than fifty other Bills, local and private, also re-
ceived the Royal Assent.
Their Lordships then adjourned during pleasure.

On their Lordships resuming,
The Earl of ABERDEEN presented a petition from
Doneraile against the Ecclesiastical Titles Assump-
tion Bill.

CIVIL BILLS (IRELAND) BILL.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved the second
reading of the Civil Bills (Ireland) Bill. The object of
the Bill was to extend the jurisdiction of the assistant-
barristers in Ireland from Blotters in which 201. only
was in litigation to matters in which the amount in
litigation was 401. The Bill also codified and
embodied in one statute all the laws relating
to the jurisdiction of assistant-barristers in Ire-
land. It was a digest of all the laws relating to the civil
bill practice and, jurisdiction of assistant-barristers,
courts in Ireland. It proposed to give to the assistant-
barristers'courts jurisdiction in all cases relating to insol-
vency, thus doing away with the neceesity for the
Commissioners for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors
going circuit—an arrangement which would greatly
facilitate the administration of justice.—(Hear, hear.)
The Bill made the Civil Bills Court a court of original
jurisdiction, giving the Court the power of awarding
costs to witnesses; it also gave the Civil Bills Court ab-
solute jurisdiction in all cases of legacy under 201.,
whatever might be the value of the estate upon which
the legacy was charged.

NATIONAL GALLERY.

In reply to a question from Mr. V. SMITH,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,

Provided always, that in every dispensary, district, and
other charity where only one medical officer shall be ap-
pointed, every such officer shall be required to possess

THE LATE DR. LINGARD.
Several curious reports having recently become cur-
rent in reference to the last moments of the Catholic
histurian of England, it will, doubtless, interest the
public to perii,e the subjoined letter written by Mr.
Johnson, the friend and medical attendant of Dr. Lin-
gard, and addressed to the publisher of the latest and
best edition of the great work of our national annalist:—
" Lancaster, 2 Ist July, 1851.
" Mr. Dolman—Sir,--The late Dr. Liogard is repre-
sented in some newspapers as afraid of going to bed, be-
cause afraid to die.

" For many years, probably thirty or more, I have
had the confidence of the venerated historian as his
medical adviser and friend. I beg to state that he
never manifested on any occasion whatever an unrea-
sonable fear of any kind. He was, in my humble
judgment, as wise and good a man, his mind as highly
cultivated and as thoroughly disciplined, as is attainable
in this life.

"During the whole of his last illness he was uniformly
cheerful, tranquil, and resigned. Not a word or ges-
ture betrayed complaint, impatience, or dread of any
kind.

" My religious creed is different from his and yours,
and I am personally unknown to you; but I know that
you were esteemed by Dr. Lingard, and am sure you
will take an interest in his posthumous character. You
will use this note, or any part of it, with or without my
name, as you think proper.
" I remain, Sir, yours very faithfully,
" CHRISTOPHER JOHNSON."

have vanished. The tone of the market has been flat
throughout.
BIRMINGHAM, JULY 23.
STOCK EXCHANGE.—There is little new of any importance
to be reported with respect to the proceedings on our Stock
Exchange to-day. The Railway Share Market continues
quiet, buyers and sellers being equally scarce. The brokers,
who generally are less engaged in speculative transactions
than those of busier marts, maintain a placi I but far from sa-
tisfactory reserve. There were sales in private, but no
transactions in railway stock were reported on 'Change.
Quotations generally were in advance of those yesterday.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Commander Thomas Mitchell. (1842) has been ap-
pointed to the Persian, 12, in the West Indies, vice
Bulman, invalided.
Rear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott proceeded with
the gentlemen from the Pay-office to Spithead, to pay
the Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord Edward Russell, six
months in advance, yesterday morning.
The Hotspur, East Indiaman, arrived at Portsmouth,
from the River, outward bound, yesterday morning.
She is a splendid frigate-built ship, and it is her first
voyage.
PORTSMOUTH, JULY 23.—A serious accident occurred
at four o'clock this afternoon on board her Majesty's
screw-frigate Dauntless, 24, Captain Halsted, refitting in
the harbour, by which a man named Nicholas White,
boatswain's mate, was suddenly deprived of life. The
deceased was superintending the discharge of the iron
water tanks from the hold to the jetty of the dock,
when, by some means unexplained, one of the tanks
broke from the slings and fell upon his back crushing
him down upon the hammock nettings. He was in-
stantly removed to the surgery of the dockyard, where
the promptest attention was rendered by the medical
staff, but life was extinct.

STATE OF TRADE.

ROCHDALB, MONDAY...-W. have had a more promis-
ing market today, and the merchants have purchased
rather more freely, at prioes much the same as those of
the preceding week. Low priced English wools are in
good demand and scarce, and those of a finer quality can
be purchased upon rather easier terms.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—Our manufactured goods
trade continues in the same position as that of last week;
the business doing is limited, and stocks of spring goods
are known to be light, probably not more than two-thirds
of the usual quantity having been made this season.
Home-thrown—This market has again relapsed into a
state of quietness; stocks, however, are light and prices
firm. Foreign-thrown—Considerably more doing, a fair
business having taken place, at somewhat higher rates
than the quotations of Ist instant.
HALusx, SATURDAY.—There is no perceptible alter-
ation in the condition of the worsted trade since our last
report; nor can we observe that there is any improve-
ment in the yarn market, which is greatly depressed.
Wool is very quiet, with the turn in favour of the buyer.
HUDDERSFIELD, TuEspAr.—There has been an in-
creased activity in our market to-day. In the Cloth
Hall a pretty lively trade has been carried on. Goods of
a better quality have been more in demand than for the
last few weeks. The fancy trade is brisker; indeed, a
pretty good business has been done to-day. Most of
the purchases have been from the stocks; not much has
been done to order. The shippers are, if anything,
rather busier than last week, though not much. The
trade in wools has been quiet, as is usual before and
during the London sales.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The markets both to-day and
Saturday last have been brisk, and there is a good busi-
ness doing to order. The manufacturers are well em-
ployed, and prices cantina firm.

PASSENGERS' BAGGAGE.

Mr. MACKINNON wfsbed to ask the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, or the Under Secretary of State for
the Home Department, what obstacles there are to the
examination of the baggage of passengers from France
in London, instead of at the outports of Folkestone and
Dover, on the same principle as is now adopted in
France, of examining the baggage of passengers from
England at Paris instead of at Boulogne or Calais?
Mr. C. LEWIS said the matter referred to was now
under the consideration of the Treasury, who were in
communication with the Board of Customs on the
subject.
METROPOLITAN SEWERS BILL.

In reply to Mr. FITZROY,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he

and if he could he should proceed with the second read.

REGISTRATION OF ASSURANCES BILL

In reply to Mr. MULLINGS,
Lord J. RUSSELL said it was not his intention to
proceed with the above Bill this session, but it
was reluctance that he abandoned the Bill, and the sub-
ject would be renewed at the earliest opportunity next
session.

we are well informed, these journals are more or less
in the wrong. The proposition has not precisely for
its object the establishment of any authority of the

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

The Maidstone Gazette of Tuesday give us the latest
information regarding the hops. We subjoin our con-
temporary's account trom a few of the more important
localities. The reports from other places represent the
vermin as still destroying the weak shoots of the bine,
and the plantations on the whole seom hardly to warrant
the expectation of even a moderate crop.
MAIDSTONE.-The heavy storm of Friday afternoon,
whilst it cut some grounds severely, and levelled some
poles in exposed situations, has also cleared most grounds
of a considerable portion of the insect vermin with
which they were infested. The heavy rain, too, has
freshened the bine and improved the soil, and if kindly
weather ensue, although some grounds aro still in a
very precarious state, in others there is a probability of
some hops being sown.
CANTERBURY.—It was hoped that the showery wea-
ther would prove highly beneficial in clearing off the
vermin. It is true that a considerable quantity has
been swept away; but still, with the midsummer shoots
not growing out well—a great quantity of the bino turn-
ing black—and where the bine is short, vermin and fire
blast having entirely stopped the growing, the hops on
the whole are decidedly in a worse state. These appear-
ances induce the conjecture that the duty will not ex-
ceed 70,000/.

RUSSIA AND POLAND.

ST. PETERSBURPII, JUNE 17.—The chief of the
postal department has laid before the EMPEROR et re-
port of the postal service in 1850. From this it ap-
pears that the intercourse between the various towns
has been considerably increased during the past year.
Between Smolensk and Moscow the letters are inter-
changed four times a week instead of twice ; and in
Riga the letters are received two days sooner from
Smolensk than hitherto. This is likewise the ewe in
regard to Kasan, Saratow, Carican, and Astrachan, in
fact, the postal service is conducted on an altogether
different footing since 1842, when the last report was
made. A new postal map of European Russia is now
being laid down. The mail carriages are to run on
the projected Petersburgh and Moscow line, and one
of our post-office functionaries has been sent abroad
for the purpose of making himself personally ac-
quainted with the most minute postal arrangements
in foreign countries. In the kingdom of Poland es-
pecially a very important change has been made in
the postal service. Since Jan. 1, 1851, the Russian
rates of postage have been introduced, and the
management taken out of the bands of the Warsaw
board of directors, and placed in those of the chief
head of the postal administration of the empire.

BRUSSELS, JULY 22.—During the first six months
of 1851 the revenue. has amounted to 38,066.941 f.,
being 937,602 f. more than during the first six months
of last year. The increase has arisen chiefly from
the tolls, the duty on beer, registry dues, and the
post-office. The Government railways have brought
in an increased revenue of 5,325 f.
The 21st anniversary of the inauguration of his
Majesty the KING was celebrated with great solem-
