LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 5, 184;.

The Lords met at Four.
The Royal Assent was given by Commission to
several public and private Bills.
Their Lordships then adjourned, and re-assembled at
Five o'clock.
On the motion that tho report on the South-Eastern
Railway Bill be brought up,
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE presented a petition
from a person named MOURILLIAN against the Bill, and
moved that it be recommitted.

Lord REDESDALE said the allegations in the petition
had been inquired into before the Standing Orders'
Committee, and that they were frivolous.
The Marquis of CLANRICABDE withdrew his motion,
and then moved, as an amendment, that the evidence
takes before the Committee be printed.
On a division this motion was negatived, the numbers
being—For receiving the report, 37 ; for the amend-
ment, 1.

Lord STANLEY moved the third reading of the Taxing
Masters Court of Chancery (Ireland) Bill.
The Earl of WICKLOW moved, as an amendment,
" that all persons to be appointed under the Bill should
be solicitors of the Court of Chancery in Ireland, who
should have been in practice for the space of ten years
or upwards."

The amendment, which was supported by Lord
COTTENHAM, Lord CAMPBELL, the Marquis of CLAN-
RICARDE, and Lord LANGDALE, and opposed by the
LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord STANLEY, and the Earl of
St. GERMANS, was carried by a majority of 6, the num-
bers being-19 for the amendment and 13 against it.
In answer to Earl FORTESCUE, it was stated by Lord
STANLEY that the execution of the persons convicted 'at
Exeter of the murder of Mr. PALMER and some of the
crew of the Wasp, had been respited, in order that the
opinion of the judges might be taken on the point of
law raised at the trial.
The County Rates Bill was read a third time.
The Duke of RICHMOND moved that the Portsmouth
Railway (Atmospheric) Bill be recommitted.
The recommittal was opposed by the Marquis of
NORTHAMPTON; a long discussion ensued, and eventually
the amendment was carried ; shortly after which their
Lordships adjourned.
The Commons met shortly before Four o'clock, and
went up to the Lords to hear the royal assent given to
various Bills.
On their return

Mr. HAWES presented a petition from the Chairman
of the Cambridge and Lincoln Railway Company against
the London and York Railway Bill, representing that
many of the names on the subscription list were those of
paupers and many of them were forgeries. lie moved
that the petition be printed.
The motion, which was opposed by Mr. B. DENNISON,
Mr. WARD, Mr. BERNAL, and Mr. DARBY, and sup-
ported by Mr. ROEBUCK was agreed to.
Mr. B. DENNISON then moved the third reading of the
Bill.

Mr. ROEBUCK moved that it be read a third time that

day three months.
The amendment, which was supported by Mr. HAWES
and opposed by Mr. W. PATTEN, Mr. B. DENNISON and
Mr. WARD, was negatived, and the Bill was read a third
time and passed.
Mr. ESCOTT gave notice of a motion for next session,
for the admission of Indian corn duty free.
Sir H. PEEL gave notice that, to- morrow, he should
move thiloadjournment of the House till Friday.
Mr. SMYTHE postponed, till next session, his motion
on Portendic.

In answer to Sir R. INGLIS, it was stated by Sir R.
PEEL, that the subject of the propriety of rebuilding
Westminster-bridge was under the consideration of Go-
vernment.

In answer to Mr. CHRISTIE, Sir J. GRAHAM said that
le Brazilian pirates condemned at Exeter were respited
in order to give time to have the legality of the convic•

don argued.
Mr. G. W. HOPE, in answer to Mr. P. HOWARD, said
negotiations were still going on between the Government
and the New Zealand Company.

After a few words from Lord PAL3IERSTON on the
subject of the causes of the recent accident on the Dover
Railway, and from Mr. TUFNELL and Sir J. GRAHAM,
on the case of JOHN MAYES, supposed to have been im-
properly convicted of felony,

• .
Mr. MOFFATT asked whether the new Houses of
Parliament would be ready by 1847 ?
Lord LINCOLN said the Committee-rooms would be,
but not the Hall.

Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in answer to Lord EBRINGTON,
said, that measures had been taken to prevent the re-
currence of such revolting scenes as had occurred at the
Spafields burying-ground.
On the motion for going into a Committee of Supply,

Mr. M. GIBSON rose for the purpose of drawing the
attention of the House to the state of our relations with
Brazil, and also to the question of encouraging the
immigration of labourers into the West Indies.
A brief discuss on ensued, but Sir R. PEEL declining
to enter into the matter at any length, the subject
dropped.
Mr. HAwEs then brought forward his motion respect-
ing the conduct of Mr. WRAY, which led to a long dis-
cussion, in the course of which the House was addressed
by Sir J. Graham, Mr. Sheil, Mr. W. Patten, Lord John
Russell, and Sir R. Peel, but ultimately the motion was
rejected, and the House adjourned at a quarter-past 11
o'clock.

Dladrid papers to the 28th have been received.

The Gazette publishes a dispatch from Saragossa of
the 25th. The QUEEN was to have left that city on the
28th for Tudela by the canal of Arragon, on the 29th
to arrive at Tafalla, and on the 30th at Pampeluna
The dispatch states that she is in the most perfect
health.

It was expected the Court would proceed from Pampe-
lusia to Tolosa, and from thence to San Sebastian,
where it would arrive about the 6th or 7th of August.
El Heraldo has the following in relation to the Ma.
lags conspiracy :

" The conspiracy had ramifications at Rondo, Grenada, and
other places, and relied on the co-operation of some unworthy
officers of the provincial regiment of Jaen, and on the majo-
, rity of the sergeants of that corps. To arm the national
militia, plunder the commercial houses of Malaga, and,
with these forces and resources, hasten to Rondo and
Grenada, in order to protect there the revolutionary
movement, commencing by the assastination of the
authorities—such was the plan of the conspirators. They
also reckoned on a general rising in Catalonia and at
Valencia. A large house in the High-street was their head-
quarters, and the rebellion was about to break out at the mo-
ment General Caminero, who had long entertained suspicions
on the subject, received positive news of it, which is said to be
due to a sergeant. The General forthwith marched to the
barracks, ordered the troops under arms, fell upon the conspi-
rators, arrested several of them flagrance deiicto, and Malaga
has thus been saved from a tremendous catastrophe. Among
the prisoners are a Commandant Don Manual de Lara, various
officers, a large number of sergeants, a merchant named Hervas,
the Advocate Carder°, and Canadillas, Saborio, and other indi-
viduals, well known in the Progressista party.
It also states that Madrid was to have been the
theatre of a revolutionary movement. The political
chief of Ciudad Real hiving seized a treasonable cor-
respondence carried on between the Carlists of that pro-
vince, had thought proper to banish three of the princi-
pal chiefs of that party. Soma changes were contem-
plated in that military department. General ASPIROZ;
the director of the Artillery, was to be replaced by Gen-
eral LOIGORRY, and General SORIA, Inspector of the In-
fantry, by General CORDOVA.

Petitions have been presented to the Commandant-
General of Malaga by Moderados and Progressistas in
favour of those compromised in the conspiracy discovered
there ; and the Captain-General of Grenada has been
prayed to stay the execution of the sentences until her
Majesty's pleasure be known.

A large body of troops were assembling at Vittoria in
order to prevent a Carlist coup de main on the Royal
Family. The Government print, El Herald°, announces

that the ship of war Manzanares, under the command of
the Infante Don ENRIQUE, has been ordered from Malaga
to the coast of Biscay.
Great preparations were making at Bilboa to give the
QUEEN a splendid reception. General NARVA.EZ and
M. MARTINEZ DE LA RosA accompany the QUEEN
on her tour. All the other Ministers had returned to
Madrid from Saragossa.
The Three per Cents. were rather firmer than at the
last quotation. They were done at 28?-, for cash, and
29* at sixty days. Amount, 26,200,000. Fives at 21*
cash ; 400,000 done. Passives, 7* from the 15th of
August. Amount, 4,000,000.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.
Those of Saturday allude to Lord PALMERSTON'S
speech in the House of Commons on the defences of the
country, ridicule his fears, and accuse him of ex-
aggerating the maritime power of France. They infer
from his speech that there must exist in England some
latent ill-will against France, or such expressions of
distrust in her intentions would not be indulged in. The
Sieele, however, in remarking on the speech, says—
" There is, as usual, some exaggeration, but there is a great
foundation of truth in what was said by the Noble Lord. The
Straits are no longer an obstacle on which England can de-
pend as it could before the introduction of steam : our fleets
have at Cherbourg and Brest a secure shelter against the attacks
of an enemy: England may consider itself, with gnat truth,
threatened with a disembarkation in the event of a contest with
France. But we have not a navy in every respect superior to
that of Great Britain, and our steam fleet is not sufficient to
transport two hundred and ninety thousand men. Without
reckoning that an army of that size would be needless for a
descent, we know that 40,000 men disembarked on the coast of
England, with sufficient stores and ammunition, would maintain
itself easily there during the whole time necessary to receive
reinforcements by the new mode of navigation. The Emperor
wished to go to London with 70,000 !men ; an army of from
70,1.00 to 80,000 men would be sufficient at the present day
against a country where the people are in flagrant hostility with
the aristocracy, and where battalions do not start up at once,
whatever may happen."
In relation to the means possessed by Great Britain of
repelling invasion, it adds—
" In England soldiers are engaged for life, so that it is evi-
dent that not one-third of the 50,000 invalids are fit for ser-
vice. As to the militia, Mr. Pitt armed it, and placed but
little dependence upon it—first, on account of the state of pub-
lic feeling; and, secondly, on account of the difficulty that all
Englishmen have in contracting military habits. But we now
only wish to point out that, by holding a lofty attitude towards
England, we can oblige our neighbours to expend fifty or sixty
millions additional francs annually to place their land forces on
a footing to give us battle on the soil of Great Britain itself.
A straggle between England and France henceforth be as
much a continental as a maritime war."
The annexation of Texas is also the subject of com-
ment. The Opposition journals are loud in their con-
demnations of M. GUIZOT for having co-operated with
England in endeavouring to prevent annexation. The
Consttutionnel loOks upon the whole as a matter of bar-
gain and sale. The Texans were in debt, and have sold
themselves to the highest bidder. The Courrier Francais
says—

" We imagine that Mexico will not engage in a war with
the United States in order to retake Texas. As to England,
no doubt she will resign herself to it, and our Ministry will
follow the example of that of Sir 11. Peel. But now that the
Texas question has been resolved, there still remains that of
Oregon, and we shall be much astonished if the British Go.
vernment does not seize the occasion to be avenged for this
late defeat."

According to the Moniteur Algerien of the 26th, Mar-
shal BUGEAUD embarked for Delges on the 28th to take
the command of the expedition against BEN SALEX,
Colenel PELISSIER is to accompany the Marshal in this
expedition.
We extract the following from the France Algerienne—

" A violent animosity subsisted for a length of time between
the Sendjes and the Sheah tribes, the latter of whom have
always resisted our troops. They lately, after having endea-
voured to assassinate by night Si Mohammed, whe was set
over part of the division of Orleansville by the French,
committed an act of odious treason. Colonel de St. Amand
had sent an escort of honour of thirty spahis to Hadj
Homed, the French agha of the Sendjes, for the marriage
of his son. The Sheah having found apart from their
comrades several of the spahis who accompanied the tax
collector, killed them, and then taking off their red burnous,
put them on themselves. Thus disguised, the wearers
came on at the head of about three hundred of the tribe to
meet our agha of the Sendjes. Perceiving the red burnous at
the head of the band, he supposed it was his colleagues of the
Meld:men
_coming to pay their compliments to him on the

occasion of the mwarriale.- Under cover of this disloyal impo-
sition, the Sheahs came up to within pistol-shot, and then dis-
charged their muskets at the band. The agha fell dead on the
instant, and with him two caids, and about ten others. The
spahis, notwithstanding their disproportionate numbers, mad* a
brave defence, and got away, at last, with the loss of only
five men. A body of between two hundred and three hundred
armed men on foot, who were lying in ambush, fired upon the
rear of the agha's party at the same time that it was attacked in
front."

It appears that the young bride, with several women,

and the whole of the baggage, fell into the hands of the

assailants. Marshal BUGEAUD has decreed the transpor•
tation of the tribe, and the confiscation of their territory,

The proposed visit of the Queen of ENGLAND to the
Rhine appears to have excited some apprehensions in
the minds of French diplomatists. La Fiance says:—

The French Cabinet feels somewhat alarmed, and has

instructed its political agents to collect every rumour
that may transpire round the royal residences. The
Cabinet of the Tuileries still renumbers the 15th of
July, 1840, and views with apprehension a conference
which may regulate without its participation the affairs
of the peninsula."

The Moniteur announces that the Minister of Public
Works has fixed the 9th, of September, at half-past two

in the afternoon, as the day when the Great Northern
Railroad, with its branch lines from Lille towards Calais
and Dunkirk, is to be publicly adjudicated. The adju-
dication of the branch line from Fampoux to Hazebruck
is to take place at the same time.

The Prince and Princess DE JOINVILLE arrived at the
Tuileries on Friday, and were to remai❑ there until the
departure of the Royal Family fur Eu, which is fixed fur
to-day.

The Paris and Rouen Railway Company have de-
clared a dividend of 23 francs 10 ceniimes for the nine
months ending July.
Dan CARLOS and the Princess of BEIRA arrived at
Greoulx on the 24th ult.

The Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS left Limoges for
Pompadour on the 30th ult.
The Memorial Bordelais of the 31st ult. has the
following :

" Among the arrivals here are Count Bressen, the French
Ambassador to the Court of Spain ; PSI. Druard, Comptroller
of the Household of the Duke d'Aumale; and M. Aguerre
Mayor, the American Consul. Considerable disturbances were
created in the night of the 29th ult. in front of the residences
of the Dutch and Neapolitan Consuls, at Bordeaux, in con-
sequence, it was pretended, of their not having hoisted their
figs and illuminated their houses in honour of the national fete
The rioters, after giving them a most hearty charivari, broke
their windows, committed other excesses, at J, finally teiring
down their escutcheons, threw them into the river."

The Semaphore of Marseilles gives the following from Al-
giers, 25th ult. :—" The news of the death of our agha of
the Sendjes was immediately spread by the cherif partisan of
Abd-el-Kader, who calls himself a descendant of the Prophet,
and it appears that the Arabs look on it as an act of Divine
justice, so that fresh risings are to be dreaded in the district of
Orleansville. While these things are passing in the west, the
insurrection appears to be extending in the east. Reinforce-
ments of troops have just been sent to Dellys. It appears that
all Kabylia is in arms, and that the campaign which is expected
to commence about the 26th or 27th, will be a rough one."
A letter from Tangiers, 9th ult., says :—" The Emperor has
just established at Fez a kind of military school, where 600
young men are to study the elements of European tactics. The
Moors consent to this measure with a very bad grace, and nu-
merous desertions take place. The Consuls-General of Spain
and Denmark at this place have been promoted by their res-
pective Governments to the rank of resident Ministers, and it is
in this quality that the Danish agent of this place, M. Car-
stenseen, is, it is said, shortly to proceed to the United States.
The Vice-Consuls employed under their orders have been
named Consuls. The general opinion here is that M. de Nyon,
the Consul. General of France at Morocco, will not return to
We post."

Letters from Beyrout of the 12th July state that hos-

tilities had ceased in the Lebanon.

THE EIGHTH EDITION OF " MR BuRKE'S PEERAGE
AND B.A.RONETAGE" has just made its appearance, and com-
pensates for the kegth of time devoted to its production by
the completeness and finish of its details. Every line seems to
have been searchingly revised, and the whole now forms the
m Est comprehensive and perfect history of our Nobility ever
predueed. Peers, Baronets, and their numerous off-shoots are
all accurately and most clearly shown, and the researches
connected with Mr. Burke's other great National work " THE
DICTIONARY of the Landed Gentry," have enabled him to
add a most interesting feature, in the introduction of the
thousands of Gentlemen's families allied by descent or inter-
marriage with the titled orders. Consequently, almost every
reader finds some one of his connexions recorded in the pages
of the " PEERAGE." It may be said, indeed, that there is no
work published more essential than this to the conversation
and occurrences of every day life.

We are without any arrivals in the City to-day from the
British Colonies.
The Hon. Secretary of the Committee of the Association
formed here to forward subscriptions for the relief of the
sufferers by the fires at Quebec, has proceeded to Liverpool
to arrange matters there for forwarding the good cause, and
we are informed with the most satisfactory results.
After an association of snore than thirty years with most
of the subscribers to the subscription-room of the North
and South American Coffee-house (in former times and
before steam-vessels across the Atlantic were dreamt of) we
find by a letter before us, that it is proposed by the new
proprietor, Mr. T. B. Simpson, to remove the locale
to certain rooms on the same floor. This, it is
considered, will be a great convenience. The spacious
rooms now devoted to the subscribers will be attached to the
tavern department. It ought to be stated that the new pi o-
prietor has taken the best means possible to obtain early in-
formation for the subscribers.

The Consol Market has been steady to-day at 98% 3 for

premium upon Exchequer-bills has rallied a trifle; notwith-
standing capital is in request, an immensity of commercial
bills having arrived at maturity, this being the 4th of the
month. They have been very well paid as yet. The busi-
ness of the "Clearing House" has been exceedingly large.
India Bonds are at 675. premium.

Very few bargains were made in the Foreign Stocks to-
day ; Spanish Actives have been quoted only at 2634 ;

Mexican Deferred at 2014 ; and Buenos Ayres at 50.
The market for the Railway Shares has been heavy this

great. The French lines are in request.

DREADFUL EXPLOSION.
LOSS OF TWENTY-NINE LIVES.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

An explosion of fire-damp, by which 29 human
beings lost their lives, took place on Saturday last at a
colliery belonging to Mr. Thos. Powell, situated at
Crombach, about three miles distant from the village of
Aberdare, and six from Merthyr T 3 dvii.
About eleven o'clock a loud report, :attended with a.
violent concussion of the earth was heard, whlCh-Ciiiised
the people of he neighbouring houses to direct their
attention towards the pit, and in a very short time the
awful fact became known that an explosion of fire-damp
had occurred. The consternation which ensued may be
more easily imagined than described, when it is known
that there were in the pit at the time from one hundred
and fifty to two hundred human beings, men and boys,
and the awful uncertainty that existed, how many, if any,
were alive. Langaage cannot describe the mournful
lesson. The wailing of women, and the crying of children,
as they ran towards the pit's mouth seeking their rela-
tives, were sufficient to unnerve the stoutest heart, and
melt the most stoical spirit. In one face you might see
the fearfully anxious look changed into one of gladness
as the husband, son, or brother, came up alive. In
another face "hope fled,", and settled despair when one
after another came up, and the expected one still be-
hind. I visited the pit in a few hours after the catas-
trophe, and never has it fallen to my lot to witness a more
awful lesson. Surely, legislation ought to step in, and en-
deavour togive security to human life, by the appointment
of competent persons—men whose scientific acquire-
ments would be at least a guarantee that nothing which
science could do had been left undone towards the se-
curity of human life. The air in the pit, after the ex-
plosion, was so noxious, that it was a considerable time
ere any person could venture to seek for the missing
men. But such is the devotion, such the spirit and
courage of these poor working colliers, that they were to
be seen going into the pit without the least hesitation
to seek their missing fellow•workmen. The risk which
they incurred may be imagined, from many of them
having fainted when proceeding towards the workings ;
yet others were pushing on and working, undauntedly,
hoping to find some one alive and in need of assistance.

It is not exactly known how the accident hap-
pened. It is said the Davy lamp was constantly
used to tr the air, but the pit has always
been in bad repute on account of its de-
ficient ventilation. No accident in this part of the
country has ever keen attended with the loss of so much

human life, and the effect consequently is an unusual
gloom over the whole neighbourhood. There were also
two or three horses killed, and the damage done to the
works is very great. Doubtless more will be made
known on the inquest, which will be held on Monday,
of which I will send you a full report.

WHITE BAIT DINNER TO THE LORD MAYOR.-
A very splendid fish dinner was on Thursday last given to the
Lord Mayor, by the guardians of the City of London Union, at
the Crown and Seeptre,"Greenwich, of which board his Lord-
ship, on the introduction of the new poor-law into the City,
was chosen chairman. Upwards of seventy sat down to dinner.
The chairman, in proposing the health of the chief magistrate,
alluded to the length of time his Lordship had occupied the
chair of the board, and the high satisfaction which had been
frequently expressed by these best qualified to judge of the
talent, zeal, discrimination, and humanity exhibited in the
trans'ction of the important business of the union. These
qualities were exercised ever since the formation of the union in
1837, a period during which the difficulties attendant upon the
management of the powers vested in the guardians by the Poor-
law Bill were greatly increased by the enomous influx of des-
titute persons into the City from all parts of the country. The
Lord Mayor, iii arknowleding the toast, which was received
with acclamation, torak oticasien to refer to the elegant tribute
he had lately received at the hands of the board, in the shape of
a vote of thanks, magnificently emblazoned and framed, and
expressed in terms the roost kind and graceful. There were 58
guardians present, and the day was spent by the company in a
most convivial manner.

SOUTHAMPTuN, AUGUST 3.—The Tagus, Captain
Brooks, steam-ship, left the docks this day, at three P. M., for
Malta, with the East India and China mails, which will be
transmitted by the company's steamer Iberia for Alexandria,
and the Tagus will proceed on for Constantinople and Smyrna.
She has 38 passengers and a very full cargo of Manchester
goods. The Royal West India mail packet, the Forth, Capt.
Chapman, left the river yesterday, with the West India and
South American mails, and 33 passengers, and on freight
quicksilver to the value of 10,8961. ; 4,6211. in gold doubloons,
and 1,5501. in silver. Two gentlemen, in connexion ith the
railway now building in Jamaica, went out in the Forth to
superintend the opening in October. The weather has been
extremely boisterous here all day. The next Gibraltar packet,
with homeward-bound Peninsular mails, is due to-morrow.
