LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1845.

The House of Lords met at Five o'clock.

A short conversation took place on the subject of the
new Houses of Parliament, and Lord BROUGHAM and
several other Noble Lords complained in strong terms
of the inconveniences to which they were subjected in
consequence of the delays which had taken place in the
completion of the new Houses.

In reply to Lord CAMPBELL, the LORD CHANCELLOR
stated that he hoped, in the course of next week, to in
troduce a measure to remedy the defect occasioned by
the taking away the challenge to the array in jury cases
in Ireland.

Lord COTTENHAM moved the committal of the Eccle-
siastical Courts Consolidation Bill. The motion was
opposed by the Bishop of EXETER, and after a short dis-
cussion, the Bill was ordered to be referred to the Select
Committee.

The Calico Print Works Bill was read a third time.
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH moved the adjournment of
the House to Monday, which was opposed by Lord
BROUGHAM, on the ground that it was absurd to lose a
day on account of a ball to be given elsewhere. Noble
Lords might come down to the House in their ball
costumes.

The House then adjourned until to-morrow (this day.)
The SPEAKER of the House of Commons took the
Chair at Four o'clock.

Several railway and other Bills wero forwarded a
stage.

Mr. LABOUCHERE then brought forward the motion
of which he had given notice, pledging the House to
adopt some measure to prevent parties promoting Rail-
way Bills, which might be thrown over to next session,
suffering from unnecessary expense and delay ; and ap-
pointing a Select Committee to inquire in what manner
it might be expedient to carry such measures into effect.

Sir G. CLERK admitted the importance of the sub-
ject, but objected to the pledging the House to the adop-
tion of any particular course, and therefore moved as
an amendment, " That a Select Committee be appointed
to inquire into the several Railway Bills, and report
what measures:could be adopted to facilitate the pass-
ing of Railway Bills through Parliament, and what
course it might be most judicious to adopt in refer-
ence to Railway Bills to be brought before, the House
during the session."

After a short discussion, the motion was withdrawn
and the amendment was agreed to.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated, in
reply to Mr. LABOUCHERE, that it was now a settled
point of law, that Jersey had no more right to import
British spirits into this country free of custom's duty,
than Ireland or Scotland had.

In reply to Lord JOHN MANNERS, it was stated by Sir
H. PEEL, that passports had been granted to Don
CARLOS to proceed to the Pyrennees, for the benefit of
his health.

On the order of the day for the House going into
Committee on the Scotch Banking Bill being read,
Mr. P. M. STEWART expressed his decided disappro-
bation of the measure.

Sir R. PEEL hoped the Hon. Gentleman would allow
the Bill to go into Committee, where the details could
be discussed.

The House was subsequently addressed by Mr. HumE,
Sir W. CLAY, Mr. HAWES, Mr. BAILLIE, Mr. C. WooD,
the Hon. Mr. BOUVERIE, Mr. MLTNTZ, and Mr. BARING,
after which the House went into Committee upon the
Bill, and Clauses 1 to 7 having been agreed to, the Chair-
man reported progress, and the House adjourned at One

of European beneficence, and of Christian duty, the hos-
tile tendencies of the two mightiest monarchies in the
world, arising out of the conflict of their balanced powers
and their vast resources, will become gradually neutral-
ised; and that the dangerous spirit of an unquiet, though
it be a generous rivalry of political grandeur, will give
place, at no distant day, to a strict, an invincible, and a
genuine " Holy Alliance" for the extension and consoli-
dation of their united peace, prosperity, and power.

The intelligence from Spain, which is to the 29th of
May, is of a very gloomy character. The funds are
falling rapidly, the Bank of San Fernando has refused
to grant any more loans ; :the journals, which formerly
supported the Government, with one exception, have
turned against it, owing to the late arbitrary proceed-
ings of NARVAEZ ; and circumstances altogether fore-
bode some new convulsion. In what shape it will appear
no one can tell, but the country is evidently roused
against the despotic Government of CHRISTINA and
NARVAEZ, and will follow almost any leader who will
have the courage to brave this reckless military dictator.
The Espectador journal had been seized, because it
contained as article stating that above thirty persons had
offered their services to the proprietors of the Clamor
Publico, and 300 more were ready to put down their names
and bid defiance to the prosecutions of the Government.
The Tiempo, hitherto friendly to NARVAEZ, boldly de-
clares that within four days the Government has become
revolutionary, and it denounces the arrest and deporta-
tion of the three editors as arbitrary, unjustifiable, and
odious acts, and as the commencement, without any
authority and without any cause, of martial law. A
popular tumult, or something worse, was expected at
Madrid, and the troops of the garrison were consequently
kept in readiness in their barracks. Additional troops
had also been ordered for the provinces, but probably
they will be more required there than in the capital.
The poor young QUEEN, with her mother and sister,
escorted by NARVAEZ, had arrived at Chinchilla on the
27th, after a cold, wet, and fatiguing journey.
The Bourse on the 29th exhibited a very dismal ap-
pearance, not fewer than nineteen defaulters having
been declared on that and the previous day. One ac-
count says, the funds have continued declining, reaching
a point which they had not experienced for many
months, since Threes were offered for cash at 321, with
scarcely a purchaser—a real panic prevailing on 'Change.
Day by day many millions are sold by the supreme com-
mittee belonging to bankrupt speculators, or those who
do not appear to claim their stock. Capitalists look on
passively at a state of things whose result they cannot
foresee unless a prompt remedy be applied.
The Three per Cents. closed at 32% for cash, and 331/2 at
60 days ; the Five per Cents., at 231/2 for cash ; and 24 at 60
days ; the Coupons, at 2714 for cash ; and the Debt without
Interest, at 8 for the 10th of July.

The Paris Moniteur contains a royal ordonnance,
dated the 3d inst., announcing that' M. GUIZOT is re-
instated in his office of Foreign Minister, which had been
held by M. DUCUATEL during his illness. On that day
M. Guszor attended a cabinet council held by the
KING, and his Majesty counter-signed the new treaty for
the suppression of the slave-trade. Every dispatch ap-
pears to be made for bringing this question to a final
settlement. " We are assured," says the Journal des
Debuts, "that an attaché of the Minister for Foreign
Affairs set out from Paris on Tuesday afternoon, for Lon-
' don, carrying the treaty with him. It is believed that the
ratifications may be exchanged on Friday next between
Lord ABERDEEN and Count DE St. AULAIRE. It is pro-
bable that on Monday or Tuesday next Admiral
MAcxAn will present to the Chamber of Deputies a
Bill fur carrying the treaty into immediate execution.
The Bill will contain a demand for a sum of ten millions
of francs for completing the number of 26 steam-
boats and sailing vessels, of which our squadron
is to be composed." The same journal
in answer to one of the objections made by the opposi-
tion to the treaty, namely that a navy cannot be exer-
cised unless engaged in war practice, says :—" We are
really desolated, that this disastrous state of general
peace, in which the world is thrown by the fault of one
Ministry, does not afford more active occupation to our
navy, but we confess that we are not much affected with
these gymnastic considerations. We do not think it
indispensably necessary to seek a quarrel with Eng-
land, or any other country, solely for the purpose of ex-
ercising our squadrons, and we are persuaded that our
sailors will resign themselves to the accomplishment,
with less éclat, perhaps, but certainly with as much ho-
nour, of acts which most promote the cause of humanity
and liberty."
The state of the French navy will be brought before

The Convention recently negotiated between the
King of the FRENCH and the Queen of ENGLAND for
the prevention of slave trading under the respective flags
of England and France, is a compact honourable to the
character and the reciprocated respect of two great
nations. It is a noble pledge, recorded and de-
posited at the altar of humanity, by those
of all the states of Christendom and civilisa-
tion which are most competent to act as her irresistible
champions. How happy for the peace of mankind and
the repose of nations, were the emulation of these two
States never to exceed the limits of this generous rivalry
in the cause of human liberty, or that struggle for
priority in the perfecting of their several institutions
social, moral, and political, or in the career of liberal
arts and of science, in the results of which the destinies
of all the other races of mankind are so profoundly and
extensively interested.

the Chamber of Deputies in a few days. The report of
the Committee on the budget of expenditure for 1846
had been distributed on Wednesday, and, accord,ng to
that document, the naval estimates are increased by
4,700,000 francs, as compared with the present year. The
following is a brief summary of the state of the navy, as
given in the report. The sailing vessels afloat are stated to
be :-23 ships of the line of all classes ; 30 frigates ; 19
corvettes ; 26 brigs; 47 galiots, cutters, and luggers, with
about 60 smaller vessels—in all, 220 vessels. The sail-

ing vessels in dock are:-23 ships-of-war of different
ranks, of which about two-thirds are finished ; 20
frigates and 5 small vessels—total, 48 ships partly
finished. Of steam war vessels afloat there are 4

frigates-1 of 540 horse power, and 3 of 450 horse
power; 8 corvettes-1 of 320 horse power, and 7of 220
horse power; 41 steamers of 160 horse power and under
—total, 53. Steamers on the stocks:-4 frigates, lof 640,
1 of 540, and 2 of 450 horse power, about half-finished ;
10 corvettes, 5 of 320, and 5 of 220 horse power, one-fifth
finished, and 8 steamers of 160 horse power and under,
only commenced. The report adds, for the service of
the year 1846, it is proposed to keep 170 ships of dif
ferent sizes in a state of armament, namely, 8 ships of
the line, 12 frigates, 12 corvettes, 25 brigs of war,
30 gun brigs, and other smaller vessels, with
62 steamers, of which 3 are of 540 and 450, 3 of
320, 10 of 220, 23 of 160, and 23 of 120 and under. In
commission de rade 12 ships, namely, 4 ships of the
line, 4 frigates, and 4 corvettes. In commission
du port, 4 ships, 4 frigates, 4 smaller vessels, and 6
steamers. The Committee expresses its disappointment
at the smallness of the French navy, and urges the
Ministry to complete the reserve in conformity with
the royal ordonnances of 1837 and 1842. It appears
from the naval inscription that the number of sailors in-
scribed during the year 1845 was 112,462, which shows
an increase since 1838 of 22,938 men liable to service,
and in the year 1844 alone of 3,052. The Committee
expresses satisfaction at the disposition shown by the
inhabitants of the coasts for the naval profession, as
holding out good prospects for the commerce of the

This Convention, which is understood to have been
signed so lately as Thursday last, is remarkable for the
tone of good faith and earnest intention which prevades
its ten articles of succinct and intelligible stipulation.
The preamble, or recital, of this Convention recurs to
the two Conventions of November, 1831, and March,
1833, executed between the contracting Powers, as
" having attained their object in preventing the slave
trade under the French and English flags;" but it is de-
clared that they have not proved competent to effect
the complete suppression of this odious traffic, and
the said Powers having it much at heart to concur
in the requisite measure for this object, declare
that the present Convention shall be substituted for, and
stand in lieu of, those former instruments. By the Ist
article, the King of the FRENCH engages, sithin the
shortest possible period to establish, upon the western
coast of Africa, from Cape Verd, to the meridional
lat. of 16 deg. 30 min., a naval force of 26 cruisers, is
well sailing vessels as steamers ; and the Queen of GREAT
BRITAIN engages to establish a force of similar amount,
steaming and sailing cruisers, on the same portion of
the African coast. By subsequent articles, the two
Powers agree to maintain a strict surveillance upon all
this range of coast, especially at those points where
slave-trading is carried on; and, for this purpose, they will
exercise all the powers pertaining to their respective flags,
except only as to the restrictions introduced into the
present Convention touching' French and English ships.
The officers of the two squadrons are to concert together
the best means of proceeding in the objects of this Con-
vention, settling stations, devising the regulations under
which the cruisers of the two nations are to act together,
or separately, as may be found most convenient ; any
treaties that may be concluded by either force with native
chiefs along these coasts shall have for object only
the suppression of the slave trade ; and if concluded,
separately, by an officer of the British force, the option
of acceding to it shall be reserved to the King of the
FRENCH ; and so, vice versa, if concluded by a French
officer, the option of concurring in it shall remain to the
Queen of GREAT BRITAIN. When both Sovereigns con-
cur, the expenses attending the negotiation of that treaty
shall be borne by both Governments in equal proportions;
but where the employment of the military or naval
forces shall be found necessary for the execution of said

country and the defence of the state. The strength of the
army is fixed:at 340,000 men and 81,689 horses, in which
are included 60,000 men and 15,398 horses, for the
service of Algiers. The total estimates for the year, as
drawn up by the Government, amount to 1,302,502,386 f.
(51,000,000/.), which the Committee propose to reduce
by 5,630,000 f.
The Constitutionnelstates, that Lieutenant D'AUBIGNY
had returned from Otaheite to Paris, but had communi-
cated with the Government only by writing. Passports
had been granted to Don CARLOS and his Consort to
leave France. It was understood they would take up
their residence in Savoy.
A letter from Vienna, of May 24, says:—." The Court
of Austria has been official►y informed of the speedy
arrival of Queen VICTORIA in Germany. Prince AL-
BERT is to accompany her. Her MAJESTY'S arrival
has also been officially announced to the Senate of
Frankfort."

the King of the FRENCH shall be ready to commence
operations, that fact will be formally communicated to
the British Sovereign ; and the two Monarchs will issue
a joint declaration that the operation of this Convention
is about to commence. The right of mutual search, esta-
blished by the Conventions of 1831 and 1833, shall
cease to be exercised in three months after such decla-
ration.

The two Powers pledge themselves to interdict all
slave-trading in any colonies they do now, or may here-
after, possess, and to use all means to prevent their re-
spective flags from being employed by their subjects in
carrying on a slave-trade with foreign nations, or being
in any other manner connected with slave- trading of any
kind. The tenth and final article regards the mode in
which the recognised servants and functionaries of the
contracting Powers shall proceed in conformity with the
objects of this Convention; in six months after the joint
declaration above alluded to of the two Sovereigns shall
have been promulgated.
Such is a brief abstract of a compact that promises to
be of more practical service in efficiently- repressing, and
finally (let us hope) extinguishing the slave-trade than
previous treaties of a more elaborate character for some
years past have been able to accomplish. There is a
moderation about the language of the contracted obliga-
tions on either party—an absence of all pretensions in
one party that might possibly be distasteful or offensive
to the other—a calm and grave avow al of the great ob-
jocts common to both—from which we augur a bright
and hopeful future for the negro races of Western
Africa. But we also indulge the gratifying belief that
by thus combining in a noble work of national charity,

NORTH UNION RAlLWAY.—Wednesday a meeting
of this Company was held in the Cotton Sales-room, Liverpool, for
the purpose of taking into consideration and deciding upon the Bill
for the consolidating of the Bolton and Leigh, the Kenyon and
Leigh Junction, the North Union, the Liverpool and Manchester,
and the Grand Junction Railway Companies. The chair was taken
by Mr. Rathbone, who read a statement to the meeting. After
which, he proposed a resolution approving of the Bill, but as it
received a great opposition, headed by Mr. Powell, the motion was
lost, and the provisions of the Bill disapproved of. The meeting
also passed resolutions in favour of the Bills for enabling the North
Union Company and the Ribble Navigation Company to make a
branch from the North Union Railway to the Victoria Quay, at
Preston, and also a railway from Southport to join the North Union
Railway, at Euxton.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE BRANDLING JU4CTION
RAILWAY.—SUNDERLAND, TUESDAY.—Yesterday evening, as the
quarter-past five o'clock train was proceeding from Newcastle to
this town, an accident occurred about a mile from the Brockley
Whirls station. It appears that one of the rails having been left
by the men who are mending the ways in an insecure state, the
passenger-carriages were thrown off the rails, and fell over with
great violence, two or three of them being smashed to pieces.

There are no later arrivals to-day.
The following particulars respecting an important branch
of trade may be interesting to some of our readers
" The good demand for consumption experienced in April
has continued to the present time, and to this only must be
attributed the rise in price. There has been no speculation,
but a steady good business doing for consumption. It is
generally stated that the supply of English Tallow
is short, and far below an average ; it certainly is
the fact in London and in many parts of the country ;
the high price of meat, protracted winter, and shortness of
fodder, favour the presumption that for some time at least
the supply of home fat will not be abundant. The low price,
and very cold weather, have enabled the chandlers to work
up a considerable stock of candles, and it will, I think, be
found that this has tended both to keep English Tallow scarce
and assist the demand for Foreign. A considerable business
has been doing in Y.C. to arrive. Within the last ten or
fourteen days upwards of 12,000 casks have been sold,
and the disposition to buy is at present more vigorous than
to sell ; 41s. 3d. is the present price. t The chief pur-
chases have been of a speculative character, but some, though
few, of the trade have been buying for their consumption.
By the letters from St. Petersburgh, dated the 12th and
24th of May, the Russians were asking 105 R. for May and
June, and 104 R. for August delivery, and these letters
answer to our price of 395. 6d., it is therefore probable that
we may hear of a further advance in that market.
The accounts respecting the quantity of New Tallow to be
brought down still vary a few thousand casks, but they ge-
nerally agree that the quantity will be less than that of last
year.
There is reason to believe that the New Tallow will be much
better this year, in consequence of the strictness of the brack.
The Market for the Public Securities has been drooping

Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat have been
on a very moderate scale, they not having exceeded 3,160
quarters, hence the show of samples of that article was small.
Selected parcels commanded a steady inquiry, at fully pre-
vious rates; but all other kinds were a slow inquiry. In
Foreign Wheat, free as well as in bond, very little
was doing, yet the quotations were supported. Barley and
Malt moved off slowly, at late rates. There was a steady
demand for Oats, Beans, and Peas, at full prices.
