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 against France, or such expressions of
distrust in her intentions would not be indulged in. The
Siecle, 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-
hend as it could before the introduction of steam : our fleets
ave at Chet bourg and Brest a secure shelter against the attacks
of an enemy : England may consider itself, with great 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
74y 00 to bO,OOO 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 50,1i00 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 feelii:g; 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 struggle between England and France will henceforth be as
much a continental as tl maritime war."

Thu 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
ConAi tutionnel 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 R. 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 SALEM.
Colenel PELISSIER is to accompany the Marshal in this
expedition.

Provincial of Ireland ... 25

We extract the following from the France Alyerienne—
" 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, who 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
Hamed, 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
Makhzen coming to pay their compliments to him on the
occasion of the marriage. 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, made 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 wears to have excited some apprehensions in
the minds of French diplomatists. La France 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 remembers the 15th of
July, 1840, and views with apprehension a conference
which may regulate without its participation the affairs
of the peninsula."
The Mon<teur announces that the Minister of Public
Works has fixed the 9th of September, at half-past two
in the afternoon, to 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 remain there until the
departure of the Royal Family for Eu, which is fixed for
to-day.

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 Tydvil.
About eleven o'clock a loud report, attended with a
violent concussion of the earth was heard, which caused
the people of the 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 h,
more easily imagined than described, when it is known
that three 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. Language 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 to give 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 try 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 been 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.

The Paris and Rotten Railway Company have de-
clared a dividend of 23 francs 10 centimes for the nine
months ending July.
Don CABLos and . the Princess of BEIRA arrived at
Greoulx on the 24th ult.
The Duke and Duchess DE NEMOURS left Limoges for
Pampadour 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 ; M. 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
ligs and illuminated their houses in honour of the national fele
The rioters, after giving them a most hearty charivari, broke
their windows, committed other excesses, and, finally tearing
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 imaiediately 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 500
young men are to study the elements of European tactics. The
Moors consent to this measure with a very bed 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
his post."
Letters from Beyrout of the 12th July state that hos-

The Hon. Secretary of the Committ3e 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 more 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 Atlattic 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% i3/4 for

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner HOLROYD.)
IN RE CHAMBERS AND CO.

A meeting was held this morning for the audit of the ae-
counts of Messrs. Chambers and Son, formerly of South
Molton-street, and Bond-street, bankrupts.
The fiat was issued nearly twenty years ago, and from that
time to the present, litigation to a great extent has been carried
on. but which it now appears is likely to terminate in the pay-
ment of a dividend, and a winding up of the affairs.
The proceedings of the audit were not of, a public nature.;
but it was stated that the funds in hand, the bulk of which was
from the proceeds of the Opera House estate, applicable for a
dividend was 100,0001.

The proceedings taken against Mr. Wilton, formerly soli-
citor to Mr. Chambers, have been so frequently before the
Courts and the public that Mr. Wilton had threatened to eject
the tenants of the Chettle estate, of which Mr. Wilton was
tru:ee, under the marriage settlement of Mr. and Mrs. Cham-
bers. Since the last audit an order of commitment had been
made by the Lord Chancellor, in consequence of his not having
entered up satisfaction on judgments obtained against the
estate. He had refused to do so, but had re-registered four
judgments, amounting to 21,000/. A printed letter was ex-
tensively circulated containing some correspondence between
Mr. Wilton and Messrs. Few and Co. in explanation, and an
offer to come to terms. He bad given notice of his intention
to publish the correspondence, and attend before the Learned
Commissioner to explain personally, but did not do so.

GRAND REVIEW IN HYDE PARK.—This morn-
ing the household troops, consisting of the Ist and 2d Regi- I C
merits of Life Guards,- the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), the D.
4th Light Dragoons, the Ist and 3d battalion of the Grenadier g,
Gi ards, the Ist and 2d battalion of the Fusilier Guards, and a g,
brigade of guns of the Royal Horse Artillery, were reviewed
on the usual exercising ground in Hyde Park, by his Majesty
the King of the Netherlands, the Duke of Wellington, and a "z
number of General Officers. It was not positively known that
the review would take place until eight o'clock, at which hour "`
an orderly sergeant from each regiment attended at Apsley Fl
House to receive the commands of the Duke of Wellington.
Shortly after ten o'clock the troops assembled on the
ground, and notwithstanding the unfavourable appear.
since of the weather thousands of persons were present.
At half-past ten o'clock the troops took up the following posi-
tions The 3d battalion of the Grenadier Guards and the Ist
battalion of the Scots Fusilier Guards occupied the centre;
the 2d battalion of Scots Fusilier Guards the left, and the let Gt
battalion of the Grenadier Guards the right wing, flanked by Du
the cavalry, under the immediate command of General Lygon ;
on the extreme left was stationed the field battery. At a few
minutes before eleven the Duke of Wellington, attended by a Le,
n umerous and brilliant staff, arrived ; and, shortly afterwards, Lo:
his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, dressed in the uniform , 1
of a British Field-Nlarshal, accompanied by Prince, George of
Lo,
Cambridge, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Colonel Baron Coehoorn,
Count Bylandt, Hon. Captain A. Hood, and Viscount Do,
lia warden. His Excellency M Dedel, anti 111. Bond, occupied one Lt
of her Majesty's carriages. His Majesty was received
with the
usual military honours, the artillery tiring a royal salute of 21
guns, and the bands of the several regiments playing the national
anthem. The illustrious visitor having rode round the line and
minutely inspected the appointments of the men, the troops
broke into subdivisions and marched past in slow and quick
time, after which they were wheeled into line and went
through the various evolutions with the utmost precision. The
fot mation of squares upon different positions was effected with
Ihe greatest rapidity, and the evolutions of the cavalry were
executed admirably, and appeared to give universal satisfac-
tion. His Majesty during the review conversed with several
of the general officers, and at tha conclusion addressed the
commanding officer. A general salute then followed, and the
regiments were marched to Lheir respective barracks.

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 Sceptre, 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 those best qualified to judge of the
talent, zeal, discrimination, and humanity exhibited in the
transaction 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 enormous influx of des-
titute persons into the City from all parts of the country. The
Lord Mayor, in acknowleding the toast, which was received
with acclamation, took occasion 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 most kind and graceful. There were 58
guardians present, and the day was spent by the company in a
most convivial manner.
