crime of incendiarism ! Fifteen out of 30 prisoners, on
similar dreadful charges, wholly without education !
Why, what could the parochial and district clergy
have been about ? Where, in this statement,
is there any evidence of those incessant, all-im-
portant, and spontaneously administered efforts,
as enlightening and instructing, informing and
guiding the minds of their flocks, especially those of
the rising generation, which the. Bishop of LONDON,
with so much unction, and his Right Rev. Brother of
Exirmt, with so much vehemence, insist upon as the
undoubted and indefeasible merit of the beneficed and
the working clergy of the Established Church ?
Haply the districts where these offences have been
perpetrated are so unfortunate as to be without any
adequate array of clerical teachers ? We should
hardly think so. At least they are not without an
ample contingent of magisterial parsons : for (on the
authority of the Morning Chronicle, which has
supplied us with these detail 3) it would appear that,
of the whole thirty prisoners, no less than twenty-

COLONEL STODDART AND
CAPTAIN CONOLL Y.

The most interesting piece of information brought by
the Levant mail, and it is one 'which will be deplored
throughout England, is the''eonfirmation of our worst
fears with regard to the fate of Colonel Stoddart and
Captain Conolly. It is with deep regret we-have to an-
nounce that the death of both these gallant officers is at
length put beyond a doubt. They ware executed at
Bokhara in the month of June, 1842. The object of
Dr., Wolff being thus unhappily ended, the reverend
gentleman was to leave Bokhara towards the end of
May, on his way to Europe.
_ .

four were committed by clergymen in the
Commission ; and, as if to make this fact
still more significant, of the fifteen who
could read and write, twelve were sent
to prison by reverend pastors, whose time would
have been better employed in teaching the ignorant
peasant youth of their neighbourhood the first elements
of education, and the first elements of their duty to-
wards God and man, than in the more secular avo-
cation of hearing charges against them and their
fathers. But there may be zealous partisans of the
established clergy, who will suppose that the theatre
of such offences must have been some remote and
savage country district, shut out by mountains or
bad roads, or dangerous waters, from the ordinary
advantages and communications, which tend so
much to the instruction and improvement of
the poorer classes in more favoured localities.
But the theatre is, in fact, the broad expanse of
Suffolk with part of Essex : two model counties of
Conservative politics, agriculture, and attachment to
our ancient " institutions in Church and State." Had
the outrages been perpetrated in Bungay or Chelmsford
or Colchester, how loud and fierce would have been
the anathemas directed against sectarian criminality
and radical disorganisation,—Wesleyan indifference
to the moral welfare of its congregations, and Unita-
rian laxity in the inculcation of all moral or religious
principles ! Truly, the Ipswich calendar, with its
useful commentary, distinguishing the partially in-
structed from the utterly ignorant, bears a grave and
memorable record against the ministration and use-
fulness of the established clergy in that part of the
kingdom. It will not be readily forgotten.

The following letter, dated Constantinople, July 7, is
published in the Malta Times
We have just received positive intelligence as to the re-
sult of Dr. Wolff's mission to Bokhara. Colonel Shell states,
in a letter under date of the Bth of June, from Teheran, that
dispatches have arrived from Dr. Wolff, in which he writes
that Cglonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly were both of them
publicly executed, in June or July, 1842. The Doctor him-
self, thanks to the letters with which he had been furnished
at Constantinople, was courteously received by the Khan of
Bokhara, and was to have left that place on the 10th of
June. The mystery that hung over the fate of these unfor-
tunate gentlemen has thus been finally dispelled. Their
friends will now know the worst ;'''and even that, perhaps, is
better than the painful uncertainty they have so long expe-
rienced on the subject."

Captain Grover received on Saturday evening the
following letter :

"Bokhara, May 5,1844.
"I write this letter in the house of Nayeb Samet
Khan, the chief of the artillery and the arsenal of his
Majesty the King of Bokhara, a sincere and excellent
friend of the British nation, but in the presence also
of his Majesty, the Ameers, Mahram (private cham-
berlain), and I write this letter officially by order of
the King of Bokhara, to whom I give a translation,
and therefore confine myself only to the most neces-
sary topics, without comment and without observation.

" On the 29th of April the King stated to me by
medium of the above-named Nayeb, and in the pre-
senee of Mullah Kharsem, the King's Mahrarn
(private chamberlain), that he had put to death in the
month of Sarratan, 1259 (July, 1842), Colonel
Stoddart and Captain Conolly. The first had been
put to death—firstly, on account of his having treated
royalty with the greatest disrespect on different occa-
sions ; secondly, that he had turned Mussulman, and
then returned to the Christian faith; thirdly, that
he had promised to get letters from England in four
months, by which he would be acknowledged as
ambassador from England, and fourteen months had
elapsed without any answer being received, though
the King had erected japer khans (post-houses) on
his account. And with regard to Conolly, that he
had been put to death for having induced the Khans
of Khiva and Kokan to wage war against the King
of Bokhara, &c.
" His Majesty has given me permission to leave
Bokhara on the 9th May (Friday next). From
Mesched I will write everything more fully, &c.
(Signed) " JOSEPH WOLFF.
" To Captain Grover."

The only articles of the least interest in the Paris
papers relate to the affairs of Morocco, and particularly
to the late operations of Marshal BUGEAUD against
the Moorish troops. A general belief prevailed, that
as the Marshal had returned a third time to hi,
former position on the frontier, he would be unable
to penetrate through the desert to Fez ; and all,
therefore, would depend on the fleet under the Prince
DE JOINVILLE. The National gives the following ac-
count of the state of affairs in that quarter :
" Marshal Bugeaud is at the head of 8,000 men, in
the vicinity of Ouchda. Before him is, in perpetua!
movement, this little Moorish army, composed of regular
troops, or of fanatics, excited by Abd-el-Kader. Three
defeats have not discouraged them, and the more con-
cession the Emperor is willing to make, the more they
are excited in the name of the Koran. On the whole,
the influence of Abd-el-Kader commands 3,000 men.
Marshal Bugeaud, of course, does not dread these
hordes of barbarians that our brave troops make
fly before them, but he does not move forward. When
attacked, he repels the enemy ; he then returns to his
camp, until the same game again commences. Why
then does he not advance, penetrate as far as Fez, and
spread the terror of our arms throughout the whole em-
pire ? Six weeks ago, all that was very possible, but
now the season is too far advanced, the great heats are
insupportable ; in spite of all precautions, our soldiers
sink beneath an atmosphere of fire. To reach Fez we
must march 70 leagues, without a drop of water.
"We must wait, but waiting has also.its perils. In-
decision is defeat in the opinion of the Arabs. Until
when are we to wait ? Until the autumn commences,
and brings on its rains, which render all movement im.
possible. In short, we must postpone all operations till
the spring.
" The sea remains, however, open to us ; but has not
M. Guizot declared at the Luxembourg that he would
neither touch Tangier nor Tetuan. Is it England that
prevents him ? No doubt it is ; but will England inter-
dict Spain, Sweden, and Sardinia ? Is it only against
us that her orders are directed ?
" We are, therefore, for some time to come to expect
nothing from Marshal Bugeaud. It is to the squadron
commanded by the Prince de Joinville that we are to
look for offensive operations."
It appears from the Journal des Debats that on the
9th a grand entertainment was given by Sir ROBERT
WILSON, on board the Warspite at Gibraltar, to the
Prince DE JOIN VILLE. The whole of the civil, mili-
tary, and naval authorities, the persons of distinction
and note in Gibraltar, and the officers of foreign ship,
of war in the bay, were present. The Prince was re-
ceived on board by Sir R. WILSON and the Captain of
the ship, with the utmost cordiality, and the manner and
address of his Royal Highness excited the admiration
of the whole company. On leaving the Warspite to
return to the Pluton, the Prince was saluted with 21
guns. On the 10th his Royal Highness and his
aides-de-camp dined with the Governor, who sent his
own carriages to convey them, on landing, to the Go-
vernment House. The same journal confirms the re-
port that arrests had been made at Neuilly, but it
appears they were not of a political character.
We regret to learn from these papers that no doubt
remains as to the fate of Colonel STODDART and Cap-
tain CONOLLY. Colonel SUEIL had received a letter
from Dr. WoLer, announcing the melancholy fact,
that our unfortunate countrymen were executed at
Bokhara in June or July, 1842.
The following is the official programme for the
celebration of the anniversary of the Revolution of
July, at Paris :—On Saturday, 27th, funeral services
in memory of the citizens who died in 1830, in
defence of the laws and liberty, will be celebrated in
the various places of public worship. A special ser-
vice will be performed in the Church of St. Paul,
during which the standards on the Pont Neuf will be
veiled with crape.--On the 28th, relief will be dis-
tributed at the homes of the indigent of the various
arrondissemens.— On Monday, the 29th, salvos of
artillery will be fired, at the Hotel des Invalides, at
six in the morning and six in the evening. On the
esplanade of the Invalides and the Barriere-du-Trene,
from two o'clock till night, there will be representa-
tions of military pantomimes, orchestras for dancing,
and May-poles with prizes. At three o'clock there
will be jousts on the Seine, between the Pont Royal
and the Pont de la Concorde. At seven o'clock
there will be a grand concert in the garden of the
Tuileries. At nightfall there will be a grand illu-
mination of the Avenues des Champs Elysees, from
the Place de la Concorde to the Barriere de l'Etoile.
The Column of July, ornamented with a banner, the
Pantheon, the Madeleine, the Arc de Triomphe de
l'Etoile, and the other public buildings, will also be
illuminated. At nine o'clock there will be a grand
display of fire works on the Ponte de la Concorde and
the Quai d'Orsay, in front of the garden of the
Chamber of Deputies, and another at the same time at
the Barriere du Trone.

UNITED STATES.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING.
We have received this evening New York papers
:o the 6th inst., being six days later than before,
brought by the New York packet ship Patrick
Henry, Captain Delano, which vessel being detained
off Holyhead by light winds, sent up her letter-bags
and passengers by the Irish mail-boat, which boarded
her. The news does not possess any feature of im-
portance. The 4th of July being the 68th anniver-
sary of the declaration of American Independence,
was celebrated with great rejoicing and self-glorifica-
tion throughout the cities of the Union. In New
York, the proceedings of the day were marred by
the accidental burning of the Washington Hall, one
of the finest hotels in the lity, and which was totally
consumed, at a loss of 40,000 dollars, of which about
two-thirds was insured. A few other casualties oc-
curred, but, altogether, the day passed off very
joyously.
Very great floods again prevailed upon the Missis-
sippi and its tributary streams, caused by the inces •
cant rain which had prevailed from the 17th to the
24th of June; much damage had been done to growing
crops, as well as to warehoused goods and prodyce ;
and in some instances lives had been lost. In St.
Louis great distress prevailed amongst those who
were rendered houseless by the calamity.
The Mormon Prophet, Smith, had fled from
Nauvoo to lowa, and peace was therefore likely now
to prevail.
The Britannia arrived at Boston on the 3d, and
the news by her was received at New York early on
the 4th. It was looked upon very favourably, and
had the effect of advancing the price of stocks, as well
as to cause the cotton market to rally. There had
been little done in foreign exchanges since the
sailing of the steamer, and the rates continued to be
quoted as before.
We give the following outline of the celebration of
the sixty. eighth anniversary of Independence, from
the New York Sun :
The anniversary of our nation's independence was
yesterday celebrated with more than usual demon-
strations of joy and festivity. For many years we
have not seen so large a concourse of citizens and
strangers, and never was greater cheerfulness or better
order maintained.
A cloudless sky and a
The day was beautiful.
fresh breeze from the north-west added much to the
happiness of the people.
The little boys, as is their custom, opened the pre-
lude on the preceding evening by the firing of pistols,
crackers, &c., which, with a short intermission, con-
tinued throughout the night and following day. The
earliest riser woke amid a general volley of these
small fire-works, and at sunrise was added the music
of a grand national salute fired from the battery, the
forts, and the vessels of war in the harbour, and the
joy-bells which were rung throughout the city.
Between seven and eight o'clock, the various military
companies, and the Civic and Trade Societies began
to meet at their respective head-quarters, and to form
in procession. The military formed on the battery,
and between nine and ten were reviewed by the Go-
vernor, accompanied by his staff. The Civic and
Trade processions formed in Blee-tker-street, and
marched down Hudson-street,through Chambers-street
to Broadway, where it was met by the military from
the battery. The whole procession, with the military
in front, at twelve o'clock, passed in at the east gate of
the Park, and passed in front of the City-hall in re-
view before the Governor and his staff, who were ac-
companied by Major-Generals Stryker, Pentz, and
Kierstedt, and other officers, and the Mayor and Com-
mon Council. Major Popham, who had just been
elected President of the Order of Cincinatti, in place
of Major-General Lewis, deceased, and several
other members of this Order were present. This
company stood on the State-house steps ; the
Mayor and the Governor together, with heads un-
covered With the exception of the Governor and
his Staff, they had been in waiting in the Mayor's
room, which was, during the whole morning, crowded
with distinguished citizens and strangers. The
Governor's room—the Mayor's room—the balcony,
and other parts of the City Hall were crowded with
ladies and gentlemen. The park and streets adjacent
were crowded with human beings. The trough bowl
of Croton-Ice-Punch—the park fountain—was,
during the day, surrounded with visitors of both
sexes, who repaired thither to slake their thirst. The
inmates of the city hospital—those who were able—
were out on the grass-plat in front of the building to
watch the procession. Flags waved from the city
hall, old Tammany, the public houses, and places of
amusement ; yet all was quiet and orderly—not a
a booth in the park, nor any scene of disorder or
drunkenness. Thanks to the glorious 'Washing-
tonian Reformation ! and the great Croton Punch
Bowl !

At about a quarter before eleven, while the im-
mense concourse in and around the City-hall were
waiting for the procession, which did not come up
until twelve, a fire broke out in Washington Hall, at
the corner of Reade-street and Broadway, but a few
rods from the Park. The ringing of the alarm bells,
ascending volumes of smoke, the masses rushing to
and fro, the windows and the roofs of the adjoining
buildings filled with excited and eager spectators,
formed a scene of terrible sublimity. The fire, it is
supposed, originated from one of the chimneys in the
south-east corner of the building, and near the roof.
For nearly an hour, with the exception of that corner
only smoke was seen to ascend from the roof, and the
opinion generally expressed was doubtless correct, that
by the seasonable aid of three or four good engines the
building all but the roof might have been saved. But it 1
was half-an-hour before the engines came, and the
whole service performed did not exceed what two or- I

We have intelligence from Madrid to the 19th,
from which it appears that the Opposition have given
up all thoughts of contesting the elections. It is
said, and generally believed, that they will not come
forward at all, and leave NARVAEZ and his party to
manage affairs in their own way. The Gazette
publishes a decree for a levy of 50,000 men, which
commences thus :—" Peace happily reigns throughout
the whole country. In the Maestrezzo alone there
remains the seeds of a rebellion without object. But
we must not deceive ourselves ; the partisans of a

Prince, and of a system, repudiated by the nation,
do not desist from their mad and criminal enterprise.
Those who have been conquered at Alicant and at
(:arthagena, still meditate the overthrow of the throne
of your MAJBSTY." It is said that orders had been
forwarded to the Captain-General of Saragossa to raise
the state of siege ; and to the Governor of Valencia
to arrest and bring to trial the officer who shot the
Carlist prisoners at Caspe, on the Bth. Are we, then,
to infer from this, that the monster who committed
these atrocities acted wilhout orders from head-
quarters'?

The Three per Cents, were done at 26i. for cash,
26i at sixty days ; and the Fives at 2043 for the 26th
of August.

all be in town until Friday, the 23d of August ;
their Lordships shortly afterwards will have a
meeting to consider the questions propounded to
them by the House of Lords, and it is generally
expected that judgment in the case of Mr. 15.
O'Connell, and the other traversers, will be given either
on Thursday, the 29th, or Friday, the 30th of August.
As before stated, when the public business of Parliament
is brought to a close, both Houses will adjourn from
time to time until the judgment on the writ of error is
puonounced. There will be no formal prorogation until
that question is decided —Ministerial paper.
ALEXANDRIA, 6TH JULY, 1844.—Sir Henry Har-
dinge, who left Alexandria on the 25th of June, reached
Cairo on the following day, and remained there to visit the
lions of that city, the Pyramids, &c., until the evening of
the 28th, when his Excellency started far Suez in a britzska
and six horses, and crossed the desert in the extraordinarily
short space of twelve hours. On the morning of the 29th,
his Excellency embarked on board the Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steam-ship Hindostan, which sailed at
ten o'clock that day for Madras and Calcutta. Besides Sir
Henry Hardinge, his son, and Major Wood, there were very
few passengers on board the Hindostan. The Pacha, who
professes to have found Sir Henry Hardinge one of the most
amiable and talented men he ever conversed with, has said,
that his Excellency mentioned to him that the British Go-
vernment was very desirous of placing the transit of the
India mail through Egypt on a secure footing, and that he
replied, that the mails are, and always have been, the object
of his special care ; and that he considered his honour inte-
rested in their safe conveyance ; but that if the French
Government particularly wished to come to some under-
standing with him on the subject, he would be very happy
to do anything in his power to meet their views. Sir Henry
Hardinge then announced, that in such a case a person
would come out to Egypt on the part of the British Govern-
ment to treat with his Highness. Mehemet Ali has ordered
a British mineralogist to be engaged for him in London, to
come out to Egypt for the purpose of making researches for
coal. The mission of Prussian sevens, under Dr. Lepsius;
was at Gebel Barkal in the beginning of June, all well, and
was on the point of proceeding to Dongola, whence it expected
to be back at Thebes in September. Her. Majesty's steamer
Geyser left for Beyrout and the coast of Syria on the 4th
inst. The water of the Nile continuing to be very low, but
little produce is likely to reach Alexandria for some weeks to
come, especially as a large party of soldiers is at present en-
gaged in cleaning and deepening different parts of the Mah-
moudieh canal, consequently trade is unusually flat. The
Pacha has upwards of 40,000 bales of cotton in his stores,
which he does not intend to sell until he can realise ten
dollars a canter for it, the present price being from eight to
nine dollars.
The splendid picture of his Grace the Duke of
Wellington in consultation with his officers previous to a
general engagement, was brought to the hammer on Wed-
nesday, at Messrs. Foster's auction gallery, Pall-mall. A
great number of persons attended. The auctioneer, having
stated the conditions of sale, said this celebrated picture was
pronounced by the whole of the press to be the chef d'ceurre
of the late Mr. Heaphy, containing, as it did, faithful
likenesses of the Duke of Wellington and the principal
officers engaged in the Peninsular war. That work was
painted expressly for his late Majesty George IV., for
the stipulated sum of 1,400 guineas. The artist was
with the army in Spain for about eighteen months, for the
purpose of taking the portraits for this great work. On
his return to this country he was employed upon it for a
period of nearly three years. The late J. A. Smith, A.R.A.,
was engaged by the artist to make the well-known engraving
therefrom, but the engraver's death happening before the
plate was entirely finished, prevented Mr. Heaphy com-
pleting this inimitable performance until after the demise of
his Royal employer. After wishing that the picture might
be bought for one of our national institutions, the auctioneer
said there was not the slightest reservation placed upon it,
and sold it must be, no matter how great the sacrifice. An
offer of 501. was then made, and after six more biddings it
was knocked down to a Mrs. Kean, of Green -street, Lei-
cester-square, for 85 guineas. The engraved copper-plate
from the above, with 448 impressions, together with the
copper-plate key, were knocked down to Mr. M'Lean, of the
Haymarket, for 175 guineas.
MILITARY SAVINGS' BANRS.--A Parliamentary
paper on the subject of military savings' banks has been
printed on the motion of Mr. Hume, M.P. for Montrose.
We find, on examining it, that the total number of those
banks which have been established up to the 31st of
March, 1844, amounts to 108 ; that the total amount of
cash deposited therein was 15,0021., the amount with-
drawn was only 3034 and the total number of deposi-

FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL.
BRUSSELS, JULY 25.—The Moniteur of this day
publishes-. -
Ist. The law relative to the differential duties.
2d. A Royal resolution, fixing the tariff on tobacco.
3d. A Royal decree for the general execution of the
law and the differential duties.
4th. A Royal decree relative to the assimilating
of the flag of the United States to the Belgian flag.
sth. A Ministerial order relative to the restitution
of duties on certain kinds of wood.
The Government in publishing the law on the dif-
ferential duties has immediately made use of the pre-
rogative given to it by an article of that law. The
6th article empowers to assimilate, by a Royal de-
cree, to the national flag, the flags of those nations
which import direct from the countries to which
they belong the productions of Asia, Africa,
and America. The flag of the United States
is now placed on an equality with that of Belgium
in regard to tonnage, pilotage, and all other port
duties and charges whatsoever. The decree declared
that cedar and ebony wood, cotton, wool, tobacco of
Virginia, Maryland, and other parts of the United
States, rum, pearl ash, p )tash, rice, whale and seal
oil, shall be considered as productions of the
United States. With respect to other articles, which
shall be represented as productions of the United
States, proof must be given of their origin in the
form fixed by the decree which regulates the execu-
tion of the law on the differential duties.
The King and Queen will leave Neuilly on the
27th, and are expected at the palace of Lacken on the
28th of this month.
The improvement of the communication with Eng-
land is on the point of being realised. We are in-
formed from Ostend, that the new line of
steamers between Dover and Ostend will com-
mence their service on Monday, 29th instant. The
steamers will be provided by the English South-
Eastern Railway Company, but our Government, as
it seems, is to bear the expense. The news is every
moment expected from London that the postal con-
vention with England is signed. M. Bareel brought
the negotiations as near as possible to a conclusion.
The requisite full powers have been sent to M. Van
de Weyer to terminate them. We forgot to mention,
when we first spoke of this convention, that the transit
of letters from England to Germany, and vice versa
through our territory, was fixed at a rate sufficiently
advantageous to our office, that this line might be
adopted for the conveyance of the overland Indian
mail, which now passes through France by way of
Marseilles, but would then pass by way of Trieste.
AMSTERDAM, JULY 24.—His Majesty the King has
returned direct from Luxembourg to Holland. An
indisposition, which happily has proved but slight,
prevented his Majesty from visiting Maestricht.
The accounts from Luxembourg continue to relate
in detail the proofs of loyalty and affection with
which his Majesty has been welcomed in all parts of
the Grand Duchy through which he passed.
THE HAGUE, JULY 24. We learn that the King
has gone from Luxembourg to Coblentz, and intends
to come by the steam-boat to Rotterdam. His Ma-
jesty is expected at the Hague to-morrow or the next
day.

THE HAGUE, JULY 2d.—His Majesty the King
arrived here from Luxembourg yesterday afternoon.

LADY JOHN RUSSELL.W6 are happy to hoar
, that the accounts of her Ladyship's health continue of a
favourable nature, and it is thought a few weeks will entirely
restore that amiable lady to her general health.
TITHES ON RaiLways.—ln his evidence before the
Select Committee, Mr. Richard Jones, one of the Commis-
sioners under the Tithe Commutation Act, stated that there
had been a difficulty in respect of a few railways—the Great
Western, and Lancaster and Preston in particular—in reco-
vering tithe rent charges, the objection being not o such
to the amount, which it was stated had never, in a
rural parish, exceeded 121., but to the principle of the
charge. Where there is a station in a parish, there
is no difficulty, for the tithe owners can distrain cta
the coals and furniture. In parishes, however,
where there is no station, there is under the existing law no
remedy. The party cannot seize the rails they being fix-
tures, nor can he take possession of the railway, which is a
public thoroughfare. It seems, however, fom Mr. Jones's
evidence, that the tithe-owner has " various ways of torment-
ing " the companies. " The tithe-owner (added the wit-
ness) may lay hold of the banks of the railway; he may say
that. the men shall not come to do any repairs." It was
farther stated that in one ease a tithe-owner proposed, !ant
was dissuaded from, taking possession of a railway, and
putting up false signals l—Railway Record.
