LeNDON, THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1844.

The .9 ouse of Commons met yesterday at twelve
o'clock, a hen Mr. GLADSTONE moved that the House
resolve it golf into a Committee on the Joint-Stock
Companit Registration and Regulation Bill. The
anotion was opposed by Mr. lIAwEs, a lengthened
discussion-. ensued, Mr. HA.wEs finally withdrew his
amendine nt, and the House went into Committee.
Several clauses were agreed to and the House re-
fumed.

The F,moke Prevention Bill was withdrawn, and
sailer t:m transaction of some other business of little
Importance, the House adjourned. The House of
Lords did not sit yesterday.

The Irish Orangemen are again speaking out,- in
their usnal unceremonious style, on the subject of Sir
E. PEEL and his Conservative Government. They
are always in a ferment about this period of the year,
when the anniversary of the battle of the Boyne
comes round, which they seem to consider as the
most glorious military achievement recorded in
the annals of history, and it requires the utmost
efforts of their sober and more provident leaders
to kßep them within the bounds of pro-
priety. At a public meeting of these effervescing
Onangemen, which took place on Monday last at the
Rotunda iri Dublin, for the purpose of commemo-
iatiag theit great battle, their incorrigible party pre-
judices, which , would appear to be engrained into
their very nature, and which can no more be rooted
out of them than an 2Ethiop can be washed white,
were manifested in the boldest manner passible, not
only by a host of bigoted orations, in which each
speaker, whether lay or clerical, vied with the other
Sn virulence of sentiment and expression ; but by
such flagrant party toasts as " Protestant Ascendancy'
r-which every one knows is synonymous with the

FORMIGN.
On Saturday evening their Majesties the King and Queen
of the French received the British Ambassador, Lord Cowley,
the Hanoverian Ambassador, the Prefect of the Seine, Mar-
shal Gerard, Admiral Willaumez, General Marquis de La-
place, and Barons de Mareuil et Aymt
The Moniteur Parisien announces that the King and
Queen of the Belgians are expected to arrive shortly at the
Palace of Neuilly.
The Presse says :—" All the Peers and Deputies who have
co-operated in the formation of railway companies have, we
are assured, given in their resignations." The Patric doubts
the truth of this statement, the Chamber of Peers not hav-
ing yet sanctioned the amendment of M. Crernieux against
Deputies being connected with railroad companies.
AToulon letter, of the26th ult., says—" The Rubis,which is
to form part of the expedition under the Prince de Joinville,
takes out a large quantity of Congreve rockets. The Marengo
and the Neptune are taking in provisions, and will imme-
diately proceed to join the expedition. The Belle Poule,
which has taken on board a large quantity of bags of earth,
has sailed, as has also the Gassendi. '
A letter from Barcelona, of the 24th ult., states that Mr.
Bulwer, the English Ambassador, who has been for some
time in a weak state of health, has; left Barcelona, for the
baths of Caldas. The day before his departure, he sent his
secretary to London, with dispatches. The same letter in-
forms us that the two Queens are expected to remain for
some months in Barcelona.
The Opinion of Auch states that all the preliminary pro-
ceedings in the affair of Mme. Lacoste, accused of poisoning
her husband, have been completed, and that notice has been
served at the former residence of Mme. Lacoste, that she must
constitute herself prisoner within the space of ten days after
the date of the notification. The trial is fixed for July 10;
and the chemists of Paris, MM. Flandin, Pelouze, and Du-
vergie, are summoned to attend on that day, as well as their
medical brethren of Auch.
On Tuesday last many of the communes of SaOne-et-
Loire had nearly all the growing crops destroyed by the
effects of a violent storm. In a few minutes the ground was
covered with thick layers of hailstones of enormous size.
Many roofs of buildings were greatly damaged, and the
destruction of glass was so extensive that it will require many
days to replace it.
The state of the crops in France is generlly satisfactory.
Wheats are fine, although they have suffered in some places.
It is said that the grain will be excellent, but the quantity of
straw will be but small. A slight tendency to a fall in prices
has already been perceptible in some markets.

would consider these facts, and say whether they were
satisfied that there was a conspiracy to do this injury to
the prosecutor, or whether, without any regard to his
interests, the defendants had determined to pursue a
course of their own, and to get rid of the contract in a
way that must be, or that might be, injurious to him. If
the jurors believed this to be the case, then, though no
personal malice was proved, the verdict must be guilty.
If the jurors were not satisfied of this, they must acquit
the defendants.
The jury retired at half•past six o'clock, and in an
hour and twenty minutes, returned with a verdict of Not
Guilty.

From T. J. Pettigrew, Surgeon, F.R.S. to Messrs.
S. and B. Solomons, opticas, 39, Albemarle-street,
Piccadilly,—Gentlemen, I have no hesitation in replying
to your inquiry as to the results obtained by the use of
your Improved Spectacles ; being in the constant habit
of reading and writing for many hours together by lamp-
light, it is but justice to say that your newly invented
Spectacle Lenses have affetcled me the greatest comfort.
When I employed the ordinary pebbles, I never failed to
experience in the morning' a great irritation in the eyes.
Since 1 have used your admirable glasses I suffer from
no inconvenience of the kind, and my vision is much im-
proved. I shall ever feel grateful to my good friend,
Dr. Blundell for having drawn my attention to the sub-
ject.—Believe me to be yours, very respectfully. T. J.

Acromatic Waistcoat-pocket Telescopes and Opera-

tions the powers are so great and the lenses so bright
and brilliant that minute objects at an extraordinary dis-
tance is brought completely under the eyes. Sportsmen
tourists, and sea-side visitors will indeed here have a
great treat. Acoustic instruments of every description

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 4, 1844.

the Royal Family meets with objections, which we
regret, but which we respect, because they are
sincere

The following, from the National, is evidently di-
rected against Louis PHILIPPE himself:—
" There are some men who are so completely blinded by
their love of gold, that they lose the most vulgar notions of
prudence. The effect produced on Monday by the admi-
rable speech of M. L'lleroette, will no doubt appear to them
to be a movement of the factions; and some words of good
sense pronounced by M. ITupirt, will be regarded as au in-
sane attack against monarchical institutions. The law of
dotation will be incessantly brought forward, and we are glad
of it. Assured as we are of public opinion, which will rally
all good men against the stock-jobbers, we are not inclined
to be afflicted at the imprudence committed in the llioniteur,
or elsewhere."

The Quotidiene attacks the Ministry for the article
in the Moniteur, and, unlike the National, charges it
with falsehood, in stating that tne KING had only
received five millions under the head of indemnity.
The amount he received, it asserts, exceeded sixteen
millions. " LOUIS PHILIPPE asking for more," bids fair
to damage the Ministry more than any event whilh
has occurred since M. Guizor became Prime Minister.
We see nothing else of interest in the papers.

BOULOGNE RAILROAD.

We made a few remark s last week on the report of the
Commission on the Northern Railroad and its embranch-
ments to the coast. We have to day the very great pleasure
of stating that the whole question has been terminated by
the Chambers, in a way • honourable to themselves and bene-
ficial to the country. '1 'he Belgian line goes direct to Lille,
thence to ITazebrouck, fi- 9M whence two lines branch oft; the
one to Calais through St. .9mer, the other.to Dunkirk by the
west of Cassel. The route to England is from Amiens to
Boulogne through Abbeville, being the shortest. As such
there is no possible competitilon with Boulogne ; Calais is left
alone in its glory to all the advantages to be derived from
its communication with the•north of France, Belgium, and
Germany. Such is the end of its intrigue and conspiracy
against the interest of Boulogne.

-A
Company will be offered the Boulogne line, with a lease
not to exceed ninety-nine years, with the same tariff as the
Bordeaux and Tours lint ;-Gove rnmont having the option, at
the end of fifteen years, of purchasing the line from the Com-
pany, which is not very likely to take place.
Thus has terminated the struggle of justice with folly and
monopoly Thus ha 3 the Mayor gloriously terminated his
labours I Thus has his prudence triumphed over factious op-
position ! Thus,have his anxieties, unceasing toils, and un-
remitting exertion been rewarded I May he live long to enjoy
the reward, arid see the town thrive beneath his care and
wisdom ! If the inhabitants respect themselves, or know the
value of the boon lie has obtained for them, they will erect
an imperishable monument of their
.gratitude to Mr. Alexan-
der Adam. We hear that the Mini icipal Council have al-
ready voted him a sword of honour ; and the Chamber of
Commerce a gold chased cup, and an, ether to Mr. Fontaine.
There is also a subscription raising for a'n ulterior offering to
Mr. Adam.—Bortlogne Gazette.

SAILING UNDER FALSE COLOURS ! !!

THE BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH
hereby CAUTIONS the PUBLIC against the numberless
Pills sold under fictitious names and titles, which have sprung into
existence since Mr. Morison's work appeared. The parties who put
forth such pills (sailing under false colours), take the name of some
eminent person not in existence, and then most fraudulently make
extracts from Mr. Morison's work, which they put Into their bills in
order to obtain a sale for their pills. It is, therefore, against such a
nefarious practice that Messrs. Morison deem it their duty and inte-
rest to warn the public, being determined that the Hygelau Theory of
Medicine, as introduced by James Morison, the Hygeist, shall not be
*Ade a vehicle to such fraud and imposture. (0.

VILISCEMX.II.I47COU'S.

A meeting of the Wellington Committee was held on
Tuesday, at which Sir Peter Laurie protested that his sole
reason for intruding himself into the Mansion-house, on the
day of fixing the statue, was his anxiety for the honour of the
presence of the King of Saxony, that the event might be re-
corded in the annals of the Corporation.
In consequence of the Duchess of I3uccleuch's fete at
Montagu House this day, the proposed meeting of the
ladies patronesses of the Waverley fancy dress ball has been
deferred until Friday, when the final arrangements arc to be
determined on.
On the 2d instant a new steam-frigate, called the Retn-
bution, was launched at Chatham. Her engines are to be of
800 horse-power. She is to carry 10 guns-2 guns of 8-inch,
112 cwt., and 4 guns of 8-inch, 65 cwt., and 4 32-pounders,
of 25 cwt. The dimensions of the Retribution are—between

The approaching contest in South Lancashire is a
subject of such interest and importance at the present
criss, that it behoves all free-traders, not only in that
electoral district, but throughout England, to spare
no pains to ensure success, for they may be assured
that, to a considerable extent, the great question
between Monopoly and Free Trade is staked upon
the issue. A sudden vacancy in the representation
of such a constituency must, under any circumstances,
create considerable difficulties in all parties; there
are rival claims to be adjusted, farniiy interests to be
considered, private jealousies to Lc conciliated, and
inveterate prejudices to be respected. If the League
were regarded as an ordinary political party, these
circumstances would create perplexities which might
seriouslyimpede its course; but now the League
stands before the world as a national association
formed for national purposes, and, therefore, all that
is merely local must be placed out of sight on the
present occasion. The free-traders of South Lan.
