LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1845.

The Lords met at Five.

The Waste Lands (Australian) Bill, the Arts' Union
Bill, and the Unlawful Oaths (Ireland) Bill, respectively
passed through Committee.
The Geological Survey Bill was read a second time,
arid the Loan Societies Bill was read a third time and
passed.

On the presentation of a petition by the Marquis of
BREADALBANE from various parts of Scotland, praying
for the abolition of religious tests,

Lord STANLEY defended the conduct of the Govern-
ment in regard to the late Bill on that subject.
Lord CAMPBELL complained that the Government by
throwing out the measure would deprive Sir D. Brtzw-
STEIL of his professorship.
Lord BROUGHAM then drew the attention of their
Lordships to an attack which it was stated Mr. F.
FRENCH, had made on him in the House of Commons,
on account of his conduct as a member of the Com-
mittee on tho Dublin and Galway Railway petition. Sl

characterised the attack as foul and libellous and un-
true, and expressed his belief that no such words had
ever been uttered in the House of Commons ; or, if ut-
tered, that they could not have been heard by the
Speaker or the Members.
After some discussion, the further consideration of the

matter was postponed till Thursday, and the Irish Col-
leges Bill having passed through Committee, their Lord-
ships adjourned.
The Commons met at Twelve o'clock.
The House went into Committee on the Small Debts
Bill, but did not get beyond the 2d clause, the conside-
ration of which was, at the suggestion of several Hon.
Members, postponed until to-morrow (this day).
On the order of the day for the third reading of the
Lunatic Asylums Bill being read,
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE proposed a clause limiting the
operation of the Act to two years.

This was opposed by Lord ASHLEY, and lost by a
majority of 30, the numbers being—For the clause, 13;
against it, 43.

Sir C. NAPIER then proposed a clause excepting th
large metropolitan parishes from the operation of tb,
Bill.

This was opposed by Sir J. GRAHAM, and negatived
without a division, and the Bill was read a third time.
On the motion that the Bill do pass,
Mr. T. DIINCOMME moved the reduction of the salaries
of the Commissioners to 1,2001.
The motion was negatived on a division, the
numbers being, for the amendment 13 ; against it 32 ;
majority against the amendment 19.

Mr. T. DUNCOXBE then moved a clause, providing
that no person not having more than one asylum
should hereafter receive a licence, unless he resided on
the premises so licensed, which was agreed to.
The further proceedings in the Bill were postponed

till to-morrow (this day.)
At the five o'clock sitting Sir 11. DOUGLAS brought up
the report on the Bolton and Leigh Railway Amalgama-
tion Bill. Its reception was opposed by Mr. M. GIBSON,
but, after a lengthened discussion, the reception was car-
ried by a majority of 44, the numbers being, for receiv-
ing the report 67, against it 23.
Sir R. PEEL expressed a hope that those Members who
had motions on the paper would give way in order tha
the adjourned debate on New Zealand Might be re-
sumed.

Mr. TrumE and Mr. EWART, however, insisted on
their rights, and accordingly' Mr. HumE brought forward
bis motio❑ fur an Address to the Crown, praying for an
inquiry into the case of the ex-Raja of Sattara.
Dr. BOWIUNG seconded the motion, which was op-
posed by Mr. E. TZNNENT.

The House was addressed by Mr. WILLIAMS, Mr
Hocc, Sir E. COLEBROOKE, Mr. WAKLEY, and Mr. B.
BARING, and eventually the question was negatived with-
out a division.

Mr. IlAwEs postponed his motion on the Danish
claims till next session.

Mr. EWART then brought forward his motion for a
reduction in the duties on butter and cheese, which,
after a short debate, was negatived by a majority of

linety-eight.
Several measures were then advanced a stage, and
;he House adjourned at a Quarter to Two o'Clock.

In reference to our observations yesterday on the
Danish claims, it will be seen that Mr. HAWES has, as
we anticipated, postponed his motion till early in the
next session. The unjust opposition which these claims
have met with, and the various subterfuges by which
they have been evaded, both by the Whig and Tory Go-

vernments, naturally leads to the inquiry—what are
the motives for, and who are the glen who support this
denial of justice? We believe most persons will admit
that had this been the claim -of some influential or courtly
party, the compensation would have long since been
granted, but, as the claimants are merely plain ship-
owners and honest traders, every device which
art and power could suggest have been re-
sorted to in order to deprive the claimants of that re-
dress to which they are so justly entitled.) One of
their greatest enemies, who has been pitchforked into the
House of Lords, has feathered his own nest more than
any man who has been in office for the last fifty years,
and through whose negligence the country had to pay
a large sum. Another opponent, who now holds a
similar office to that held by the former, is a person whose
only merit seems to be that of having himself, and his rela-

tives, received, during some years, more of the public
money than would remunerate the losses of all the
claimants ! What makes the case more grievous is, that
what the claimants seek as being due to them is not

the public money, but a restitution of part of the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the Danish property, for the seizure
of which the ships and cargoes of the claimants had been
taken in reprisal. A large portion of these pro-
ceeds had been lodged in the British Treasury.
for the purpose of indemnifying these parties,
at the fountain of which Treasury many jobbers
and drones have since been sucking honey, whilst many
of the poor claimants have been pinjng in misery. To
illustrate a little more the injuries to which these par-

ties have been subjected, we may mention that an
Honourable Member hid the candour to say, the other
day, that though he considered the case of the claimants
to be a very just one, he was, nevertheless, obliged to vote
as the Minister dictated ! The late Mr. MATHEWS used
to relate an anecdote of an American, who, ou finding
that he could not in England inflict personal chastise-
ment on his black man, exclaimed, " Call this a free
country ?—can't flog your own nigger !" Had the
said American known anything of the House of Com-
mons, he would have found that there the Premier can
flog his niggers as he pleases, yet this is what is called
the boasted representation of the people ! There are,
however, some noble exceptions, who have acted man-
fully towards the claimants, and of whose unflinching
honour they have cause to be justly proud.
We can only hope that the eyes of the Premier will
be opened, before the next session, to the cruel treat-
ment which these claimants have endured, and accord
to them, though late, that justice for which they have
so long been struggling. In any case, let the claimants
persevere, and they must ultimately succeed !

with the parties referred to that Court, whether they
shall accept the award or not, We give an extract
from the minutes of communication between Lord STAN-
LEY and the deputation of New Zealand Directors,
lately laid on the table of the House of Commons, to
show that we are not misrepresenting his Lordship.
" That with respect to the lands at Wellington, com-
prising about 60,000 acres, he (Lord STANLEY) saw no
objection to giving instructions for an immediate grant,
on the assumption that the award had been made, and
the money awarded accepted by the natives." Absurd as
such a condition would be with civilised men, it beats
all imaginable absurdity when savages are the parties
whose assent is made necessary by Lord STANLEY.
3. The " mistake," to use Mr. Under-Secretary
HOPE'S phrase, about the two sets of instruc-
tions to Captain GREY on the subject of the

Company's land claims, is at least unfortu-
nate. Lord STANLEY places some instructions,
dated 6th July, in the hands of the deputation, and pro
mises to forward these to them, that they may be com-
municated to the whole Board, after the Indian mail
shall have sailed. He afterwards sends instructions, dated
the 27th June, which differ materially from those which
the deputation had seen, and which the deputation de-
clare that they did not see. Lord STANLEY declares they
did ; but Lord STANLEY'S word is the word of only one
man against four. We make no imputation against Lord
STANLEY'S honour, but we doubt the accuracy of his
recollection. And this is how Mr. B ULLER
raised the point, though Mr. Under-Secretary
HOPE thought it convenient to represent that Lord
STANLEY'S honour was attacked, and to wax indignant
at a charge which he had first invented. Mr. BULLER'S

words place this beyond mistake :—" And though he
did not impute bad faith—he was willing to believe that
this had arisen from carelessness cr mistake—but what
he said was, that if bad faith had been intended, the
Company could not have been placed in a worse po-
sition than they were in consequence of that careless-
ness or mistake.—(Hear, hear.) And he said farther,
that this was not a mistake which ought to occur twice
on the same subject in two successive years.—(Hear,
hear.) He thought, too, that the former discussions

in that House should have made Lord STANLEY more
cautious : and he would further say, that a person
who managed the business of a great public department
in so loose and careless a manner, was not a fit person
to conduct satisfactorily the Colonial department of the
Government of this country."—(Loud cheers.)
And this is the secret of Lord STANLEY'S co!onial mis-

rule,. He has talent, but no application—he can make a
slashing speech, but will not sit down to study a dispatch.
He picks up information by piece-meal—gets a scrap
from Mr. STEPHENS and a scrap from Mr. HoPE—talks
at random to deputations, and does not know what in-
structions he is showing. The last Parliamentary papers
convict him of an inaccuracy with reference to these

very instructions ; and if his recollection is inaccurate

in one point, it may be in another. He placed some in-
structions in the hands of the deputation—that is ad-
mitted by himself. But when he sends to Lord INGEs-
TRE, who headed the deputation, the instructions which
he sent, he writes, "I transmit to your Lordship the
accompanying extracts from my recant dispatch to
Governor GREY : they are the passages which I read to
the deputation, or of which I .stated the substance to them."

Quite forgetting that he had placed the instructions, in
eztenso, in their hands. And forgetting this, he may
surely, without any impeachment of his honour, have
forgotten that he did not communicate to the deputa-
tion the instructions of June 27. And is a man who
conducts business in this irregular manner, fit to retain
the government of a colony iu the alarming condition of
New Zealand ?

Mr. C. BULLER'S speech will be admitted by every
unbiassed reader to be an ample justification of his se-
cond appeal from Lord STANLEY to Parliament, on the
wrongs of New Zealand ; and if anything could lay the
spirit of party in the House of Commons, or conquer
those personal considerations which compel Lord STAR..
LEY'S colleagues to stand by him, should ensure the con-
demnation of the infatuated course in which, in spite of
all the sad warnings from New Zealand, and in spite of
his colleague's late fair promises, the Hotspur Colonial
Minister still perseveres.

We know what will be the end of these discussions.
Sir ROBERT PEEL cannot desert Lord STANLEY in Par.
liament, but the opportunity will be taken, during the va-
cation, of removing this incendiary from the Colonial-
office, and placing him in some situation of honour, where
he will be no longer powerful for mischief.

Madrid papers to the 15th have arrived. The decree
against the press is the leading theme in all the journals.
The Eco del C.mercio addresses a note to its correspondents,
engaging them to use the utmost circumspection in their
communications if they would spare the journal the denunci-
ations of the agents in power. The press, says the Tiempo,
is now as completely under martial law as any town in Cata-
lonia ; nevertheless, it promises to submit to the decree.
Several of the editors had just met, but as those of the
Herald°, Globo, Tiempo, and Postata had abstained from at-
tending the meeting, no resolution had been come to, and the
Opposition prints declare that they will await the opinion the
Moderado journals may express, before they decide on the
course they shall pursue under the critical circumstances in
which the decree against the press has placed them.
A meeting of the Progressista leaders, which was to have

taken place at the house of the editor of the Clamor Publico,
for the purpose of deciding the course the party should adopt
on the question of the QUEEN'S marriage, had been prevented
by the authorities.

El Herald°, the organ of the Government, has the follow-
ing paragraph, dated Barcelona, July 12 :—" We can assure
you that the Court will leave by sea, on the 17th, for Valen-
cia. We know not what will be afterwards decided upon as
to her MAJE STY'S movements."

The Femento of Barcelona says, " That reports are in cir-
culation that the QUEEN will repair from Valencia to Sara-
gossa, and so to the Basque Provinces ; and it was considered
that the constant movements of troops in those provinces
favoured such a supposition."
A dispatch, received at Barcelona on the 14th, from the
General commanding at Igualada, announces the complete
dispersion of the insurgents near Tora, after an hour's fight-
ing. A second gathering, near Cervera, has been equally
dispersed, and the submission was general.

The Femento, however, of the 15th, mentions that the Cap-
tain-General has marched from Barcelona, at three in the
morning, with half of the cavalry of his escort.
The reception at the Palace of Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA,
in honour of the fete day of his son Don HENRY, was ex-
tremely brilliant :--
" The company (says a letter) was most numerous. All the
members, of the corps diplomatique remaining in this capital were
present. The Me of the Prince, whom several journals of re-
spectability consider as the pretender to the Queen's hand, who has
the best chance of obtaining it, could not fail to be celebrated with
éclat. The Infante Don Francisco, his father, is now most
recherché by the high society of this country."

Who could have thought that, in the short space of a
month after Sir R. PEEL'S and Sir J. GRAHAM'S fine-
sounding speeches, so many new points could be made
even against Lord STANLEY, and even in the case of
New Zealand ? Mark Mr. BULLER'S specific charges
against Lord STANLEY.

1. Sir ROBERT PEEL promised Representative Go-
vernment, quoted BURKE in praise of it, and so carried
away the House of Commons by his liberal aspirations,
that, as Mr. BULLER tells us, several of his friends ear-
nestlw dissuaded him from dividing on the last occasion,
after the Premier's emphatic assent to the chief
principle of his own scheme of future policy for New
Zealand. Mr. BULLER doubted whether the Premier's
fine words were more than words, or were meant for any
but the momentary purpose of helping Lord STANLEI
through a scrape ; and the result has too soon justified
Mr. BIILLEICS opinion. Lord STANLEY, within ,eight
days of Sir R. PEEL'S speech, writes out to the new
Governor, Captain GREY, that representative Govern-
ment in New Zealand" is for the present impracticable."
All that he will ,give is " municipal bodies, with consi-
derable powers of taxation for local purposes, and of
making the necessary bye-laws." A pretty substitute
for Representative Government ! And he will leave
the snore general powers of legislation vested in the
Council, as at present constituted." That is, in a mise-
rable oligarchical interest, dependent on the Governor of
the colony. So much for Sir R. PEEL'S promise of Re-
presentative Government.

The Three per Cents. were done on the Madrid Bourse,
on the 17th inst., at 28 3-16 for cash, and 28 11-16 at 60
days. The Five per Cents., 20 13-16 for cash.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday, on the
morning of which day the Chambers were prorogued. The
royal ordinance of prorogation was carried to the Chamber
of Peers by Marshal SOULT, and to the Chamber of Deputies
by M. DustoN, the Minister of Public Works. M. GUIZOT
was present in the Chamber of Deputies. The opinion that
the Chambers would be dissolved early in the autumn
seemed to be gaining ground in well-informed quarters. M.
VILLEMAIN, whose health continues to be satisfactory, has
just set out for a tour in Switzerland. The KING and the
Royal Family leave Paris next week for the chateau d'Eu.
The Journal des Debats gives the following account of the
departure of Don CARLos from Bourges
" BOURCIES, JULY 19.—0 n Thursday morning, at eight o'clock,
the Infante Don Carlos and the Princess de Beira, his consort, left
this town for the waters of Greoulx. On the day before the
Princess had heard in the Archbishop's palace a mass celebrated by
the Archbishop in person. In the morning a large number of per-
sons belonging to the families habitually received at the Hotel
Panette had assembled in the court-yard of the Archbishop's pa.
lace in order to take leave of their Royal Highnesses, who entered
their carriage amidst the warmest demonstrations of regret. The
Princess de Beira seemed deeply affected at this departure, In the
first carriage the Infante, the Princess, his wife, the Prince of
Asturias, and the Marquis de Villafranca took their seats. MM.
Guilhem, de Villavicanico, Cordons, and a lady of honour occupied
the second carriage. The third was that of M. de Milan, Aide.de-
Camp to the Marshal Minister of War, who is ordered to accom-
pany the Princes to Greoulx. An escort of twenty cavalry, headed
by a trumpeter and commanded by a captain, followed the Princes
to the limits of the department. On reaching the second relay, the
Prince of Asturias took leave of his relations, who continued their
journey to Lyons. The Prince re-entered Bourges at six in the
afternoon. MM. de Montenegro, Alzan de Toledo, and Garcia
Martin remain with the young Prince."

The following account by an eye.witness of the horrible
affair at Dahra, appears in the Journal de St. Etienne. It
purports to be written by a non-commissioned officer of the
36th Regiment.

The writer, relating the proceedings of the column under
the orders of Colonel PELISSIER up to its arrival at the
mouth of the cavern, where the Arabs had taken refuge,
says:--

Two hours after our departure from the camp we arrived in
front of the grotto or cavern. A company of grenadiers was or.
dared to descend by the hollow way which leads to it, but scarcely
had they advanced a few steps when a discharge of musketry
obliged them to fall back. The position was inexpugnable, and as
the place could only be entered man by man, our whole corps would

to surrender. Then the Colonel ordered the men to cut wood and
make faggots, which with great pains they succeeded in letting
down near the entrance of the three grottoes. These faggots,
mixed with straw, were drawn away by the Arabs as fast as
they were let down, notwithstanding the tiring that was kept up
by men placed in""ambush. At last a number of the enemy
being
.killed, and :the entry being encumbered, the Arabs
were obliged to renounce their attempt. Fire was then flung
down, and the immense mass of wood was set in flames. The
whole of the 18th was employed in supplying this furnace. Then
was heard inside a frightful tumult of cries, groans, and discharges
of musket shots. It was afterwards ascertained that the Arabs
were deliberating what course to determine on, but at the time it

we should not penetrate into the interior of their
grottoes;
and that they should keep their arms. These conditions hav-

2. Without adverting to the past history of an
Association upon whose land dealings and
general
trans-
actions at that period we have, from time to time, freely
expressed our opinions, we will ask—in justice to its
more recent negotiations and correspondence with Go-
vernment—how has Lord STANLEY acted with regard to
the New Zealand Company's land elaims, in the short
intentsl which has elapsed since the last debate ? He
has actually imposed a new condition, in addition to
those which they before complained of, for their obtain-
ing land to which the New Zealand'Committee of the
House of Commons adjudged that they were uncon-
ditionally entitled from the Crown. The New Zealand
Company thought it grievance enough that they should
be subjected to investigation of their titles by the Court
of Claims, and to further payments to the natives
byawards
of that Court. After Sir ROBERT PEEL'S
conciliatory
speech, they hoped that something of these
hard conditions might be given up ; but Lord STANLEY
hasi actually added a new condition. He now requires,
for the first time, that the award,
ac-
cepted by the
natives,th:

ployed in keeping up an infernal fire, to hear the heavy groans of
men, children, and animals, the cracking of the calcined rocks as
they tumbled down, and the continual detonation of fire.armsl
During the night, too, there was a terrible struggle between the
men and cattle. In the morning, when the entrance of the
Caverns was set clear, a horrible spectacle struck the eyes of the
assailants 1 have visited the three grottoes, and this is
what I saw. At the entrance lay oxen, asses, and sheep;
their instinct had drawn them to the opening, to breath
the air which was wanting inside ; amongst these animals,
and heaped together under them, were women and children.
I saw a man dead, the knee on the ground, and the hand
on the horn of the oxen, and just before him was a woman
holding a child in her arms. It was easy to see that this
man had been stifled, as well as the woman, child, and ox, at the
moment when the Arab was endeavouring to preserve his family
from the fury of the animal. The grottoes are of immense size;
yesterday 760 corpses were reckoned ; only 60 men came out,
three-quarters dead; 40 could not survive, and died immediately;
there are ten who have been bent to the hospital in a most dan-
gerous state; and the ten others have been sent away to their tribes.
Today, the 23d, we are still in front of these grottoes, which it is
impossible to look at without shuddering. Pestilential exhala.
tions are breaking out. At ten o'clock we raise our camp. Scarcely
had the news of this terribly catastrophe become known, when the
whole Dahra submitted. From all quarters the Arabs are coming
in, bringing their arms; our camp is encumbered with muskets,
and in consequence the troops are to receive six days' provisions,
in order to dispose of the mules to carry the arms. It is necessary
to be, like us, on the theatre of events to recognise all the efforts
which were made to prevent this catastrophe, and to comprehend
the importance of reducing these folks, in the interest of the gene..
rill tranquillity. But the grottoes of the Ouled Riah will always
have a sad renown."

The Monitew contains laws authorising the Minister of
Public Works to make concessions of the following lines of
railroad :—First, of the railroad from Paris to the frontier of
Belgium, with embranchments from Lille to Calais and Dun-
kirk ; second, of the railroad from Creil to St. Quentin ; and,
third, of the railroad from Fampoux to Hazebrouck. The
duration of the lease of the former is not to exceed 41 years;
and the maximum of that of the Creil and St. Quentin and
Fampoux and Hazebrouck lines is fixed at 75 years. No
Company is to be admitted to bid for the concession of those

roads unless it shall have been previously approved by the
Minister of Public Works, and deposited the required se-

curit ies.

The following are some interesting particulars of the tim-
ber trade at Liverpool :-" This month 36 vessels, 19,851
tons, have arrived, and, as compared with last year, a much
larger supply of timber from Quebec. The market, in con-
sequence, has not opened as animatedly as had been hoped
for, the consumers in the country holding back in the expec-
tation of timber being lower; and as the timber-merchants,
in most instances, have imported several cargoes direct from
Quebec, the regular importers have had a narrower field for
the disposal of their cargoes, and have been obliged to give
way. The entire arrivals since the Ist of the month have
been from British North America 36 vessels, 19,851 tons, of
which 27 vessels, 16,150 tons, are from Quebec; and from
the Baltic five vessels, 1,867 tons, three being from Dantzic,
one from St. Petersburgh, and one from Abo."
- There are no ship arrivals to -day with later intelligence
from foreign parts.
The Funds have been rather dull this morning, but
although prices are not higher, Stock is comparatively scarce.
Consols have been 99 to 99% for Money, and 99%, buyers
and sellers alternately, for Account. Exchequer-bills have
rallied to 545. and 565. premium. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have realised 102% %. Bank Stock is
firm at 211%.
The Foreign market is very well supported-Spanish Ar-
chives have been 264 A, and the Three per Cents 37% %.
Portuguese Old Bonds were at 87. Colombian have been
firm at 173/ to 18; Mexican have been marked 37; Dutch
Two-and-a Half per Cents. have been 62%, and Russian
11
TB%.
he Railway Share Market is fluctuating, and there is a
good deal doing. London and York have caused much ex-
citement, owing to the favourable decision.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The arrivals of English Wheat were very limited, hence
the show of samples of that description of grain was small.
Owing to the changeable weather, and the full average num-
ber of buyers in attendance, the demand for Wheat of home
produce was firm, at prices quite equal to those obtained on
Monday last, and at which a good clearance was effected.
The show of fine foreign Wheat was scanty. The finest
Dantzic moved off freely, at, in some instances, an improve-
ment in the quotations of is per quarter. Bonded parcels
were in improved request at higher figures. The sale for
Barley was tolerably steady at late rates, but in Malt, nex
to nothing was doing. The Oat trade was very dull ; but al
other articles were quite as dear.

PROTEST AGAINST THE SECOND
READING OF THE FIELD GARDENS BILL.
1. Because by this Bill there may be established in every
parish in the kingdom a board endowed with corporate privi.
loges, irresponsible, and armed with powers which may he used
fcr purposes of favouritism on the one hand, or of oppression on
the other.
9

G. Because the objects of this Bill, purporting to be sub-
idiary to the provisions for the relief of the poor, under divers
Acts of Parliament, are, in truth, in direct contravention to
their principle.
3. Because, as in each parish, where the provisions of this
Bill shall be adopted, the field-wardens will be wholly un-
connected with those of every other, and uncontrolled by any
superior power, it cannot be doubted that in process of time
there will be introduced in different parishes a diversity of
practice, which will lead to heart-burnings, discontent, and
confusion.

4. Because the provisions 'of this Bill, if carried out in
the fairest and most equitable manner, will necessarily aggra-
vate the acknowledged evils resulting from the present law of
settlement.
5. Because its unavoidable tendency is to promote early and
improvident marriages, and to give an unnatural stimulus to
the increase of population, already superabundant in the agri-
cultural districts.
6. Because the necessary consequence will be the lowering
of the wages of the agricultural labourer.
7. Because the provisions of this Bill lead to the indefinite
increase of holdings and divisions of land, and thus to many
of the evils which now press so severely on the people of
Ireland.
8. Because they are in accordance with an opinion much in
founded on an unfair estimate of their intelli-
vogue, but which I think false in itself, and injurious to
gtheencpeoplespirit,; and (if acted upon) tending to lower their
independence, and to degrade their moral condition, viz., that
they cannot manage their own concerns, but mutt be card for,
overlooked, and directed by others, their superiors perhaps in
fortune, but I believe by no means superior to them irevirtue,
natural intelligence, or public spirit.
P. Because if I am mistaken in this character of the people,
and their comparative worth, the evil ought to be cured by good
example and education, and will oily be aggravated by such
measuresas those contemplated by the present Bill.

THE KING OF HOLLAND.—Orders have been re-
ceived at Woolwich Dock-yard to prepare for the reception of his
Majesty the King of Holland, who is expected to arrive and land
in this country between ten and eleven o'clock this (Wednesday)
evening. In the event of his Majesty not arriving at the time
stated, a look out will be kept for his arrival on Thursday.
TORQUAT.—This fashionable watering-place has
been well-filled during the past month, considering that the sum-
mer is not here, as at other places on this coast, its filling season.
It is at length better understood, that the thermometer at Tor-
quay is not higher in the summer than at many other places in
England. The invalids have been succeeded by many families
from Exeter, Rath, Bristol, and London, who have come hither to
enjoy the beautiful scenery with which this country abounds.
The floral and horticultural exhibitions of the Torbay Society,
held here, on the 11th instant, was well filled and fashionably
attended.
FUNERAL OF EARL GREY.—It is understood
that the funeral of this lamented Peer will take place on Saturday
next.

LADY FOLLETT.—Lady Follett and her youthful
family, in corn' any with Lady Gifford, her Ladyship's mother,
have left town for Ilfracombe.

INSURRECTION IN CANDlA.—Letters from Bey-
rout, of the 29th of June, mention that intelligence had just
arrived there of a general rising of the Greeks in Crete, but no
particulars are given.

The Duke and Duchess of Richmond, and the
Ladies Gordon and Lennox, left Portland-place yesterday for
Goodwood Park, where a brilliant party of fashionables will as-
semble on Tuesday next, when the annual races commence in his
Grace's park. The party is not expected to separate until the fol-
lowing Friday.
Mr. Vernon Smith has paired off with Mr. Buckley
for the remainder of the session.
INTERRUPTION TO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—
On last Monday evening, at a quarter before five o'clock, upon the
arrival of his Grace the Duke of Wellington at the House of
Lords, and immediately atter he bad dismounted, a tall and able
man, of rather decent appearance, and about 48 years of age,
rushed towards his Grace from among the crowd which usually
collects about this hour at the entrance of the House to see the
Duke, and was in the act of thrusting a letter upon his Grace,
when he was instantly collared by two constables on duty, and
drawn back. His Grace appeared for a moment slightly flushed,
but paid no attention to the circumstance; and scenting uncon-
scious of anything unusual having occurred, gave his orders to his
groom and walked into the House. The man was conveyed im.
mediately into the House in the custody of the constables.—Cer.
respondent of a Morning Paper.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 16} per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/ 17s.
100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25 56 ; and the exchange at Paris 00 London at short being
25 55, it follows that gold is 0.04 per cent. dearor in Paris
than in London. By advices from Iramburgh, the price of
gold is 438 per mark, which, at the English flint price of
3/. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 13 11 ; and the exchange at Ilaniburgh on London at
short being 13 12k, it follows that gold is 0.45 per cent.
dearer in London tnan in Hainburgh.
TIIE l,uyA ARTILLE RY.—A return has been
printed, on the motion of the Member for Montrose, showing the

sive. The average strength of this body in the United Kingdom

1831 the strength amounted to 4,090, the discharges to 109, and
the deaths to 82; in 1832 the average strength amounted to 4,062,
