On Tuesday afternoon the King of the French and Madame
Adelaide, accompanied by General Aymard, Colonel de Cha-
bannes, the Count de Montalivet, and the Marquis de Strada,
paid a visit to St. Cloud, but returned to Neuilly to dinner.
In the evening, their Majesties received the English, Aus-
trian, and Neapolitan Ambassadors, the Pope's Nuncio, Duke
Decazes, Marquis de Pange, Baron Reinach, M. Dupin, sen.,
and M. Boulay de la Meurthe.
The King and Queen of the Belgians arrived at .Neuilly on
Thursday evening. ller Majesty was to accompany the
Royal Family to Dreux, to assist at the funeral service which
is to be celebrated there for the repose of the soul of the Duke
of Orleans on the 13th, the anniversary of his death.

Count Alexander of Wirtemberg, cousin of the King, died
on the 7th inst., aged 43.
" All accounts (says the Constitutionnel) concur in giting
a sad picture of our establishment at the -Marquesas. A lady
who has accompanied thither her husband, an officer of the
Staff, writes that she has found nothing but privations 'and
misery."
We have already announced the intention of the Council
of the Order of Advocates of the Cour Royale to appeal
against the decision of their judges. On learning their inten-
tion, which has now been carried into effect, the members of
the Council of Advocates of the Court of Cassation tendered,
says the Commerce, their aid in the appeal to the members of
the other bar.

On the sth inst. two Englishwomen, mother and daugh-
ter, accompanied by the two children f the latter, went on
the jetty at Ostend, with the intention, as' has been since
avowed, of first drowning the children and then themselves.
They had thrown in one of the children, when they wen' ob-
served by some persons on the spot, who saved it. The
younger of the females then declared, in answer to the ques-
tions which were put to her, that distress and despair at hav-
ing been abandoned by her husband had suggested this pro-
ject of murder and suicide, in which her mother had consented
to participate. The Constitutionnel, in which we findthis
account, does not inform us what was done with these wo-
men, whose wretchedness must have been extreme indeed to
have urged them to such a course.

Accounts from Trieste state that the insurgents captured in
Calabria have been shot.

LAW AND POLICE.
At the Abingdon Assizes a young man of the name of
Robins was indicted for the abduction of Jane Wiltiviiat; a
girLunder the age of 16. The prosecutor, a large*
_re-
siding at West Woodhay, in this county, his about i acres
of land, and his rent. is 700/. per annum. The prisoner, every
good-looking youth, was his under-carter. After evidence in
proof of the charge had been heard, the fair subject, the c,ause
of poor Robin being placed in a dock, a well-looking 1;49,
whose age seemed to be at least 19, stated that there, had
been little love affairs between her and the prisoner, end that
their elopement was planned between them the night before
it took place, and that it was she who offered to rnn away
with him, and not he with her. The viscuer was found
guilty, and sentenced to a fine of Is., which being instantly
paid to the sheriff, he was discharged, amidst loud applause,
The Western Circuit commenced at Winchester on the
10th. The calendar shows the names of twenty-seven pri-
soners. Out of these there are two cases of manslaughter,
one forgery, two burglaries, three highw:-,y robberies,. one
rape, two assaults with intent, &c.; three cases of arson. one
case of cutting, and one case of shooting with intent to
murder. Mr. Justice Patteson presides on the Civil, and Mr.
Justice Wightnian on the Crown side.
The Hon. William Touchet was brought up at Bow-street
for re-examination, charged with firing a loaded pistol at
Thomas Smith, gun-maker and proprietor of a shooting-
gallery, 288, High Holborn, with intent to murder him. The
prisoner was brought in the: van at ten o'clock from Clerken-
well new prison, and he evinced the same indifference that lie
did at the last examination. It appears from the following
certificate that Mr. Smith is not able to appear before the
Court :—" I certify that the patient, Thomas Smith, although
having gone on favourably up to last night, is not so well this
morning, and 1 cannot pronounce him out of danger.
(Signed) GEO. ROYDE, House Surgeon, Bartholomew's
Hospital, July 12, 1844, half-past ten o'clock. a.m." The
prisoner was remanded ibr a fortnight.
At Marlborough-street James Riley, valet to Lord North-
land, No, 38, Pall-mall, was charged with having stolen a
10/. note, the property of his master. The defence of the
prisoner was, that he, had received the note from his master
in order to pay for sa. worth of stamps. Lord Northland
said he certainly desired his valet to buy some stamps, but
he gave him ss. in silver for that purpose. The prisoner was
remanded for a few days.

FIVE DAYS LATER FROM THE
UNITED STATES.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.
By the packet-ship Garrick, Captain B. J. H. Trask,
which arrived this morning from New York, in sixteen
days, we have received papers to the 26th ult., being
five days later than those brought by the Rochester,
which arrived yesterday. The following is a summary
of the news :

WASHINGTON, JUNE 24.—The rumour relative to the ob-
jects of the extra session of the Cabinet was true in part. It
is now alleged• that an extra session of Congress will be
necessary to consider the affairs of Texas, and to annex that
country.to ours, in consequence of new light which has beeui
discovered on the subject of the‘movement of the British
Government. It is also said that England is desirous or
making a commercial treaty with Texas on the free trade,
principle, orat least on terms of reciprocity, and to interpwe
her good offices in securing the recognition of the indepen-
dence of Texas by the Government of Mexico.
The New- York Express of the 26th says "We have seen
the dispatches just received by General Almonte, the Mexican
Minister, now residing in this city. It seems that the
Mexican Goveinihent are fully determined to keep Texas.
Senor Bocanegra, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs in Mexico,
tells Senor Almonte, in the strongest terms, that Mexico will
never assent to the annexation—that the GOvernment and
the nation are determined to resist the project, and reject all
proposals for its consummation, whether accompaniedby offers
of compensation or otherwise. General Almonte is instructed
to contradict any assertion or intimation of a different cha-
racter to this."

The hradisonian contains a treaty which has been con-
cluded between the United States and France, and duly rati-
fied by both Governments. The convention is for the mutual
surrender of criminals other than political, escaping from one
country to the other.

A great repeal meeting was held, on the 25th June, at
whichlt is stated 12,000 persons were present. The object
of the meeting was to collect money to pay the fine upon
O'Connell, and 1,000 dollars were reported to have been re-
ceived, whenthe meeting adjourned to the following evening.
A paper called the Nauvoo Expositor having been esta-
blished in opposition to the Mormon impostor, Joe Smith, on
Monday, the 10th of June, a company consisting of some two
or three hundred of the Nauvoo Legion, assisted by as many
volunteers, armed with muskets, swords, pistols, bowie-knives,
&c., marched up in front of the office of the Expositor—en-,
tered the building by breaking open the door with a sledge-
hammer, and destroyed the press and all the materials,,
throwing them into the street and setting the whole on tire.
The Catholic citizens of Philadelphia had prepared, an ad-
dress in reply to the presentment of the grand jury, relating
to the late serious riots, alleging that they had been grossly
misrepresented by that body. It was feared another outbreak
would take place on the 4th July.
Sir C. Metcalfe had proceeded to Montreal, which was now
formerly adopted as the seat of Government,
The state of the crops in the United States is very favour-
able. In the western section of the State full crops of wheat
will be realised. The harvest, generally, is a fortnight earlier
than usual, and in Washington county the farmers are
busily engaged in cutting their wheat.
MONEY AND ;COMMERCIAL.
AMES.—Pots continue in very limited request, and w e still
quote 4 dolls. 18io, to 4 25c. k the sales principally .at the
former price. Pearls are very inactive, at 4 50c.
BEES WAx.—This article is in very fair demand, and sales
of prime northern yellow have been made at 29t to 30c.
CorroN.—The sales have again been limited, not exceed-
ing 300 to 400 bales, for manufacturers. Shippers will not
purchase unless at a decline, which holders are not at present
willing to accede to. Freights are dull, and vessels cannot
get id. for square to Liverpool. Indeed, one or two vesselli
would take less, to fill up, were it offered.
Foreign exchanges still continue very high, and we can see
no probability of the rates being reduced for some time. Our
imports have been so very large, and our exports so very
limited, that the balance of trade must be regulated by ship-
ments of specie. The stocks of cotton on hand in the prin-
cipal markets of this country and in Liverpool are very large
--in the aggregate more than two hundred thousand bales.
larger than at the same time last year. A very large por-
tion of the cotton held in Liverpool is on account of advanare
made to owners here, who are holding on to the last moment
for an advance. Cotton laying in Liverpool is, in fact, ex-
ported from this country, but as returns have not been real-
ised, it can hardly yet be valued in the exportation up to this
moment.

The rate of Exchange On London is 109 to 1094.

Low PARES ON THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM.
RAILWAY.—It appears from Mr. Laing's paper appended to
the Select Committee's Report, that at present the Lon'ion
and Birmingham Company carry 780,000 passengers per an •
num, an average distance of 66 miles each. Of this number
37 per cent. pay 3d. per mile, 34 per cent. 2d., and 9 Ter cent..
lid. Supposing the company to run third-class ca•zriages at
Id. per mile, with all their trains, and allowing that 15 per
cent. paid 3d. per mile, 30 per cent. paid 2d., ane. 55 per cent.
Id., they would require to carry 2,979,670 perr,ons (or nearly
four times the present number) an average, distance of 30
miles each, to secure the same gross returns ; or, as the ex-
penditure would be increased, the nullifier must be raised to
3,500,000 to retain the existing amount of nett profit,—Rail—
way Record.
THE LANDOWNERS AND RAILWAYS..—It was given
in evidence before the Select Committee, that no less a sum
than 8,500,000/. has been expended by Railway Companies,
in England and Scotland, on land and " compensation.'
This is about an average of 5,000/, a mile. On the Paris and
Rouen Railway, the item was 2,300/. a mile. The average is

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. r

mom TUE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—The Bill for repealing the union of the two
Walsh bishoprics received its ;Teeth-blow on Thursday last.
The Duke of Wellington then struck it down by a •sudden
ts-zs of the Royal. Prerogative—a " State trick," which was
kept in reserve, as a dernier resort, to prevent the con-
fu .on and disruption whici it would have caused in the
Ministerial ranks, had it been allowed to enter the House of
Commons. There the discussions would have separated
Gladstone from Peel—Goulburn must have supported the Bill,
or vacated his seat for the University of Oxford—while the
Ministerial benches would have been again in a state of
most admirable insubordination. With the additional bitter-
ness which Church questions generally infuse into debate, the
scenes that were enacted on the Sugar Duties would have
been repeated. Such a Bill was to be got rid of at all
hazards, and by any means. The danger was imminent.
It required no ordinary skill, on the part of the Ministers, to
extricate themselves from the difficulties of their position.
The (tails on either hand were obvious. On the one side was
the Church, demanding the preservation of the two sees
which were threatened with amalgamation. Lifting up their
mitred heads, and raising their episcopal voices, the Bishops
protested against the dangerous interposition of the State
with the spiritual functionaries of the Church. Those of the
lay peers who sided with the Bishops in their crusade against
the Government, denounced, in terms more caustic than
courteous, the "manoeuvre" by which the Duke of Welling-
ton, acting iu the name and on the behalf of the Ministry,
had frustrated the vote by which the Lords had de-
clared for the retention of the Welsh bishopric sacrilegiously
threatened with extinction. All this was bad enough. But
Prime Ministers possess peculiar means of softening the
wrath of Bishops. The gentle spirits which inhabit episcopal
breasts, keep not in remembrance the offences of Cabinets.
Peers themselves are placable when the acts which
they disapprove are committed by the Government of
whose general politics they approve, and which has
honours and rewards at its disposal. To strangle the
Bill iu the house of Lords with the silken cord of the
Royal Prerogative, was, doubtless, a course less fraught with
danger than to allow it to enter the Commons. There it
npuld be the signil for renewing dissensions not yet healed ;
of reviving altercations between the Ministry and its friends
the sounds of which have scarcely ceased to grate
upon the sensitive ears of the Premier. The Bill
was, as we have said, and for the causes we have ex-
plained, knocked on the bead by the Duke of Wel-
lington on Thursday last. Its fate was alluded to last even-
ing by Earl Powis, its author; who complained of the treat
meat the measure had received from the Government :—" He
believed lie oould say, that during the whole period the House
of Hanover was on the throne, there was no precedent to be
found for such a course as had been adopted in this case.
There was no measure that Parliament had expressed a wish
further to consider, in which the Crown had interposed its
authority to prevent that further considerationof the matter."
His Lordship, however, felt that it was vain to contend with
the power which had been brought to bear upon the measure ;
and he therefore withdrew it from further notice. The Bishop
of Salisbury pronounced the funeral oration over the lifeless
corpse of the Bill, martyred by the sacrilegious hands of Minis-
ters—strangled by a " manoeuvre" for State convenience. We
dismiss the reproaches and remonstrances which the Right Rev.
Prelate addressed to the Government, for the purpose of in-
troducing, what appears to us of much more importance—the
imputed infraction of the union between the Church and the
State, which has been committed by Ministers, in their mode
of getting rid of the difficulties that embarrassed them, in
connection with the Bill being introduced into the House of
Conarnons after having passed the House of Lords. We stop
not to investigate the validity of the grounds on which the
Bishop of Salisbury rests his accusations of the Government.
STANDARD.—EarI Powis last night withdrew his Bill
for the severance of the dioceses of Bangor and St. Asaph. A
debate of considerable length preceded the withdrawal of
the Bill, but the topics of this discussion related rather to the
regularity of introducing such a Bill without the appro-
bation of the Crown previously obtained, than to the merits
of the Bill itself. We think that there is some (per-
haps not useless) obscurity involving the question
really debated—the right of the Crown to set a preliminary
veto lipon Or introduction of any class of measures. We
know ;that in practice, the Crown and each of the two
Houses severally have been allowed an exclusive initiative in
particular cases—the Crown, where Crown property, or pri-
vilege, or grants to individuals may be concerned, the House
of Lords all measures touching the peerage, and the Commons
in the matter of taxation. Thjg, all are aware, has been the
practice of the three branches ofMie sovereign legislature ; bait
woaild be difficult to trace that practice to any distinct law. The
natural explanation appears to be, that in each of. the cases,
the Crown, the House of Lords, and the House of Commons
have, upon just and prudent considerations, divested itself
of the initiative of propositions, by proposing which first it
might inconveniently compromise itself with one or both of
the other branches. This is plainly the opinion of Lord
Brougham—an excellent authority- upon a question of Con-
stitutional law—for his Lordship maintains the perfect
legality of a member of either House of Parliament introduc-
ing any measure, subject only to the self- imposed orders of
the House to which he belongs.. According to this view,
which is, we are convinced, the just one, it is a rule esta-
blished by the House of Lords, and not the prerogative of
the Crown, which has unfavourably determined the
destiny of Lord Powis' Bill. As we have said, how-
ever, the question is obscure, and not uselessly obscure. It is
better to avoid the definition of naked rights among powers
wilt* cordial co-operation is necessary for their acting
with success. " Definitions lege suet perieulosee" in
more senses than one ; for, questionless, reciprocal
concessions tend much more to harmony of ac-
tion than a separation of powers by stern legal
barriers. Of the merits of the Bill withdrawn last night
we have little to add to what we have already said :
we could heartily wish that St. Asaph's might retain its
bishop, and that Manchester might have a bishop also ; but
we cannot shut our eyes to the difficulty of completing this
arrangement or to the danger of opening anew the adjust-
ment of the ecclesiastical establishment so long ago ef-
fected. Lord Powis' ,Bill, if successful, would not be a
barren precedent, nor would the use made of it be
limited to the episcopal order. The union that it
would sever, is a part of a plan wisely, and with
the best, intentions, contrived to render the resources of the
Church to the utmost extent available for the religious in-
struction of the people, with the view of being able to
call boldly upon the country to supply the deficiency
that might be found after this effort and its sacrifices
had been made, and had been made manifest. We
have a confident hope that the effect will be to
stimulate the people to go before the Legislature in de-
manding a large extension of the means of the Church's
utility and the sphere of its influence. Such, we have no
doubt, is the purpose of Sir Robert Peel. In the dispensa-
tion of Church patronage he has done all that a minister
could do to advance the Church in the favour of the public.
The bishops of his appointment are surely men the
best calculated to reflect honour upon their sacred
office, and to render the office itself popular, even
with multitudes who have been hitherto indif-
ferent or insensible to his value. We are convinced that
even now the appointment of ten or twenty new bishops (such
bishops as Sir Robert Peel has appointed) upon newly es-
tablished bishoprics, would be gratefully welcomed by
the nation ; nor would any difficulty be made be-
cause of the augmentation of the Church influ-
ence in a House of Lords 'so largely increased
br lay peerages ; but the temporal provision is
still to be considered, and for that the newly awakened zeal
of the public is not yet sufficient. We have, however, no
doubt that in good time all difficulty on this head will be
made to disappear, if only the plan of the Prime Minister
shall be permitted to work without interruption. It is be-
cause the success of Lord Powis' Bill would seriously impede
the progress of that plan, that we are reconciled to the failure
of the measure.
