complained of, and defended the Post-otSce authorities.
As inquiry could lead to no good result, he should op-
pose the motion.

After a few words from Dr. Bowring, Mr. Williams,
Mr. F. Baring, Sir C. Lemon, and Ir. Curteis, the motion
was rejected by a majority of 76, the numbers being—
for the motion 30, against 106.

Mr. WYSE then moved that an Address be present( d
to her MAJESTY praying her to establish a museum of
national antiquities.
The motio.,, which was seconded by Mr. HAWES, and
supported by Mr. BERNAL and Mr. EWART, was nega
tived without a division, and the House resolved itself into
Committee of Supply.
Several sums were voted for the Ordnance and other
departments of the public service, and the other busines.
of the day having been disposed of, the House adjourned
at half-past one o'clock.

The Levant mail brings intelligence from Constantinople
to the ith hist , Smyrna the 9th, Beyrout the 3d, and Athens
the 10th. Preparations were in progress at Constantinople
fur celebrating the marriage of the Sultana ADILE, eldest
sister of the EMPEROR, with ALI PACHA, Grand- Ad-
miral of the fleet. A number of tents had been
pitched in the plain of Ilaydar, where the mar-
riage was to take place, and entertainments were to be
given to the Foreign Ambassadoys, the tilemas, and the
principal authorities. The accounts from Beyrout are more
favourable. An armistice had been concluded on the Ist

lest. between the Maronites (Christians) and Drases, and the
contending parties were to remain in their respective positions
until the decision of the Divan as to the terms ofreconciliation
should be proclaimed. It is said that in the course
of the late contests a hundred villages and seventeen con-
vents had been reduced to ashes. About two-thirds of the
villages were occupied by Christians. Letters flame Damas-
cus state that a woman who had abjured Islamism, being
threatened by the people, sought refuge in the home
of the French Consul. Crowds collected aroiand the house,
which they were preparing to enter by force, when the autho-
rities interfered and restored tranquillity. Greece is still in a
very disturbed state. Banditti traversed some of the provinces
with impunity, and had committed great ravages. General
Gitivas had attempted another outrage by challenging Ge-
neral CALERGI to fight a duel in a room, without seconds
which, of course, was refused. CoLErn and METAXA had
formed a coalition, but it was not supposed that they could
remain long on good terms.

Accounts from Madrid, of the 19th, announce that MAR-
TWEE DE LA Rosa had left for Barcelona on that day, to
join the royal party. Rumours prevailed in the sapital that
Carlist risings had taken place in several of the northern pro-
vinces, but they are not entitled to any credit.
The Three per Cents. closed at 3176 for °ash, and 321 A
at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 21 for cash, and 21 13-16
at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest at 7 at 60 days.

The intelligence brought by the Paris papers is not im-
portant. The Chamber of Deputies had, after some discus-
sion, agreed on the Bills totbe postponed till next session;
and among these are the Trans-Atlantic Steamers Bill, the
Canal Bill, and that to prevent the adulteration of wine
They afterwards proceeded to discuss the estimates for the
department of Public Instruction, when M. DE LA MEURTHE
moved an additional sum of 100,000,000 f. for primary
schools, but the amendment was rejected. The Chamber
of Peers had passed by a great majority the Great
Northern Railway Bill. Only five Members voted against
it. The carpenters' strike still continued, and it appears the
infection had spread into the provinces. On some of the
new lines of railway the carpenters and other labourers had
also claimed an increase of wages. This shows the great
demand for labour at the present time in France. The Go-
vernment, in order to counteract the evil caused by the sus-
pension of public works, had given permission to all the car-
penters serving as soldiers in the garrisons at Paris to work
at their trades, and every precaution had been taken against
any disturbance, but the men engaged in the "strike" con-
ducted themselves with great good order, and were resolved
to avoid any steps which might bring them under the opera-
tion of the combination laws.

On Wednesday the Three per Cents. closed on the Paris
Bourse at 83f. 80c. ; the New Loan at 84f. 25c.; the Five
per Cents. at 1211. 70c. ; Orleans Railroad shares, 1,182 f.

AMERICAN NEWS.

HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY.
Vorning .. 22 minutes after 8 1 Evening .. 18 minutes after 8

ARRIVAL of the GREAT WESTERN

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY MORNLNG, FOUR O'CLOCK.

The steam-ship Great Western entered the river this
morning at three o'clock, bringing ninety passengers, and
New York papers to the I2th instant, being ten days later
than by the last arrival. These papers are much occupied
with the affairs of Mexico and Texas. The Commercial
Advertiser, of the Ilth. instant, says, "We were farnishee,
just after the paper went to press yesterday, with the sub-
joined extract loin a letter to an eminent mercantile firm
in this city, dated

" MEXICO, MAY 20.
" This Government having been empowered by Congress to
enter into a treaty with the Texan commissioners, all fear of a rup.
Lure between this country and the United States, on that score is
at an end." ,
" The writer obviously thaws his Inference from the belief that
Texas will accede to the arrangement."
This news is extremely probable, ac we find the same facts
stated in a letter from Vera Cruz, of a previous date, with se-
veral particulars. The writer says :
" It appears that Captain Elliott, the British Minister at Texas,
accompanied by an agent from that Government, charged with
proposals for peace, arrived here on the llth April, in the British
man of war Eurydice, and departed directly in a very private
manner for the city of Mexico. M. Cuevas, the Minister
of State, made a report to the Mexican Congress on
Texan affairs, and, with the unanimous consent of the
Cabinet, proposed a decree authorising him to receive proposi-
tions made by Texas to arrange and conclude a treaty of peace
honourable to Mexico, to be submitted for the approval of Con-
gress. this decree passed the House on the 3d of May by a vote
of 41 to 13, and subsequently was approved by the Senate unani
mously. A Bill for a loan of 3,0.0,000 dolls. has also become
a law.

" Since then letters from the city of Mexico, which I am told
may be relied upon, have been received here, stating that the nego-
tiation between Mexico and Texas has been completed so far as the
executive of the two countries are concerned. The terms are said
to be that Mexico acknowledges the independence of the latter,
guaranteed by France and England, provided Texas rejects annex-
ation with the United States or any other country."
The domestic intelligence in the American papers is not
important. No decision appears to have been came to re-
specting the Oregon affair.

We have intelligence from Quebec to the 3d inst., six days
after the great fire, with some additional particulars. The
Committee of Relief had notified that each of the sufferers
would receive two dollars, on application. " One assertion,'
says a Quebec journal, "we may safely make, that the amount
of property lost is not so far magnified, and the sacrifice of
human life is underrated. The total loss has been computed
with the utmost nicety possible, and found to be between
one million and one million and a half of pounds ! .'—or, in
dollars, from $4,000,000 to $6,000,000 1 The loss of life
cannot be estimated.

The following are additional extracts :
FROM HATT!. —Capt. Robinson, of the schooner Samuel Roberts,
thirteen days from Cape Haytien, reports nothing new. All was
quiet. President Pierault mailed at Cape Haytien four days be-
fore Captain Robinson sailed.

MORMON' TRIALS.—The St. Louis Republican of Monday, the
2d inst., speaking of the trials going on at Carthage, Illinois, says
—" We are informed that the jury in the case of the indictments
for the murder of J. Smith, Mt Mormon prophet, after an absence
of about thirty minutes, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The in-
dictments for the murder of Hiram Smith will be tried at a special
term, which w,ll be held after the circuit is gone through with."
The editor of the Saratoga Sentinel has been sued for a libel by
Joseph M. Wheeler, of that place. The following is the paragraph
on which the action is brought :—" QUERY P—Did gentlemanly Joe
Wheeler ever see anything of a pair of boots sent from West Troy
by the cars, marked for 'H. Wilbur, Saratoga Springs ?' We
merely ask for information, as they never reached their destination."
Quesec, Jurta 3.—The bulk of the Spring fleet has arrived.
The number now amounts to 460, with a tonnage of 167,207.
Last year, at the corresponding period, the ameunt of vessels arrived
was 259, and the tonnage 98,082.

The Sharellarket is drooping, and there is still a dispo-
sition to sell. Among the new lines, the Manchester and
Birmingham Continuation, which has received such powerful
support in the provinces, as shown by the statements at a
meeting given in another column of The Sun, seems to rank
well, and its connexion with the Old Manchester and Bir-
mingham line will doubtless prove of considerable import-
ance to it.

THAMES GRAND REGATTA.
SECOND DAY.—( WEDNEsDAI .)
This was the " gold cup" day of aquatics—that on which
the grand challenge prize was to be cowered. For this great
race the Oxford University, the Cambridge Sub<crip•ion
crew (amongst which are several resident members of these
universities), the St. George's, and the Neptune had entered.
Oxford, it may be remembered, had held " the mastery "
fur a long period, up to the spring of the present year. Their
"giant seven " at Henley w ill long live in the memory of
aquatic men, and their prowess be readily acknowledged. The
match of March turned the tide of fortune, and the Cantabs,
who, previous to the victories of the rival university to which
we have alluded, had been favoured by conquest in many a
gallant struggle, redeemed their laurels. The regatta at Hen-
ley a fortnight since, again brought them into action, and
again Cambridge was crowned with victory; but it is but fair
to the Oxonians to suite, that in consequence of some of their
crew not having been in the boat more than a few days, they
were suffering under disadvantages. The Thames regatta
afforded the vanquished crew a third opportunity, and whether
they had "steam " enough to combat successfully with the
Cambridge rowers was the point to be decided. There was
one more great opponent at least in the field, to say nothing
of the Neptune, and this was the St. George's--a club whose
exhibition at Henley of science and game proved beyond
all doubt that they had made rapid strides towards perfection,
and bid fair to become " the leading stars of the London river."
The sport commenced at half-past three o'clock with the
gentlemen scullers' contest for die silver challenge cup, the
gift of Mr. J. Layton (a distinguished patron of aquatic
sports), together with a silver wherry, the gift of Messrs.
Makepace and Walford

FIRST HEAT.
Mr. Chapman (green)
Peacock (black) .. 2
Messrs. Soane and Colquboun were also in this heat. Mr.
Chapman was the favourite. It was a beautiful race through-
out. Soane drove away with the lead, followed by Chapman
and Colquboun, Peacock, for some reason, not seeming to
attach so much weight to the start as the others, and conse-
quently taking it very leisurely. They were all, however, racing
near each other at a very dashing pace, but Mr. Some could
not retain his position, and shortly gave way to Colquhoun, and
a beautiful race followed, in the course of which the last-named
gentleman in his turn gave place to Chapman and Peacock,
who, having shook off their opponents, rowed easily the rest
of the way.

Three others, Messrs. Kennedy, Russell, and Westrop, were
also in this heat.

On the signal being given, they all went away beautifully
together; and, after a few strokes, Mr. Conant began to show
in advance, Messrs. Wallace and Bumsted being level with
each other. Shortly afterwards, at a little above the Crab Tree
Point, Mr. Bumsted fairly outrowed, first, Mr. Wallace, and
then Mr. Conant, and went into the first place. It was through-
out a very beautiful race, and was only wen by a length; the
seconi gentleman not being half a length in advance of the
third.
