PARLIAMENTARY PROCLEDINGS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR this day proceeded to address
their Lordships on the Queensberry ease, and stated, that It was
his intention to move their Lordships to reverse the judgment
of the Scotch Court; but as the case was one of deep interest,
both as regarded the Scotch Courts and the administration of
justice, he should, on Monday, give his final judgment in writing.
He was anxious to do this, as, from the vast magnitude of the
case, it might probably be quoted on future occasions.
His Lordship gave judgment for the appellant, in an appeal
from the Irish Court of Chancery, " Jackson an Innis." rents-
ins the judgment of the Court below.
The LORD CHANCELLOR also said, he would on Mon-
day give judgment in the case of Lady Cummin
There was, his Lordship said, another case, the name of which
he did not now recollect, relating to a quarrel between certain
Scotch Seceders, as to the doctrine to be taught in their chapel
If time permitted, he would on Monday give judgment on it.

New South Wales Duties, the Excise Duties, and the Plate Glass.

FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.
" PARIS, JULY S.

44 To those who are strangers to Paris, it will ap-
pear strange, when we assert, that the political world
is divided into factions, or parties, who each pretend
exclusively to be the organ of the nation. The great
parties being three in number, such an assertion is of
course false as to two of them. Looking farther, we
shall tear of other' masks, and discover, to our sur-
prise, that 4,the Royalists" detest the King, the Con-
stitutionalists the Constitution, and that the Mining-
zialists do their utmost to sap the foundations of the
Minister. Alas, then ! what u to become of ,France
if these divisions run so high ? We :newer, there is
no danger. That these struggles are confined to about
500 persons; diviied into three parties, each of which

proton& to be ;he organ of SO millions. It is the battle
of the frogs and mice. France looks on with cool
contempt. She knows that like real Virtue, Honour
and Patriotism are not boasters ; and that those who
try out, g we are the only men who can save you,' are
the last in whom confidence ought to be placed.
Indeed civil and religious liberty is threatened princi-
pally by those, who, from their rank and situation,
ought to be their defenders. The Ministry possesses
all the elements of strength and vigour in its compo-
sition without making use of them, and it is daily set
at defiance by the Royal Courts throughout the
Kingdom. Colonels Fabvier and Sainneville, em-
ployed by the Government to discover the causes of
the troubles of Lyons, have been prosecuted and
found guilty of denouncing the authors of the mas-.,
sures: they appealed against the iniquitous sentence
strong in their own innocence, and supported, is they
fancied, by Government. The latter has abandoned
them, it would seem, to their fate, for they have
dropped the appeal to a superior tribunal, and refer-
red the matter to that of public opinion, which not
only acquits them, but demands vengeance on die
heads of the pretended Royalists, who bathed their,
hands in the blood of the innocent.

" The Priesthood also sets all the orderrof go-
vernment at defiance : a few days since, a respect-
able man, on his death bed, told the Priest that he
put his whole trust in GOD, and none in the Saints;
and that, therefore, he would pray to Goa alone,
The Priest, in a fury, declared him a d—d heretic,
and refused him confession. Even death would not
appease his pious wrath, for the Priest also refused
to bury him, though positively ordered to do so by
the Civil Authorities. How far these gangrenes will
extend, of the Church and the Courts of Law, we
cannot say; but Justice and Mercy are dammed in
their sources to all those who aremot Ultras or fana-
tics. We look to M. DECAZES to cleanse this Angean
stable: we are told he intends radical reforms; but
why delay their commencement. We know he has
had struggles to make of no ordinary nature: the
proposer of the Ordinance of the sth of September,
and the Law of Elections, has merited nobly of his
country and of Europe—let him ge on with the good
work!"

A Flanders Mail has brought us this forenoon
Brussels Papers to the 7th July. The coasts of Hol
land and the Netherlands have been visited by several
violent hurricanes, but no particular damage is stated
to have been occasioned by them. Private Accounts
from Madrid state that several regiments which were
in garrison on the Frontiers of Portugal, as well as
a division of the corps of artillery of Segovia, have
received orders to march immediately to Cadiz, to
join the Expedition, the departure of which is said
to be near at hand.

New York Papers arrived to-day to the 19th of
June. They furnish us with the Spanish official, and
several accounts, of the re-conquest of Porto Bello,
but we do not observe any material difference be.l
tween these accounts and the statements already be-
fore the Public. We are happy to End a repetition
of the assurance that the greatest human!ty has been
shewn by the Spanish Authorities, to such of our un-
fortunate countrymen as have fallen into their hands.
An article from China affirms, that the amount of
property exported from Canton during the last year,
by the Americans, exceeded that by the Eng:ish East
India Company► by nearly half a million of dollars.

We are sorry to learn from the Mauritius Gazettes,

EXPLOSION OP A STEAM-BOAT.—A serious accident
of this nature happened on Monday afternoon at
Grangemouth. The steam-boat Stirliv, Captain
SUTHERLAND, having undergone some repairs, was
preparing to start from the harbour for Newhaven,
when, in consequence of the safety-valve not being
opened sufficiently to allow the ecape of the accumu-
lating steam, the boiler exploded, and nine persons
were more or less scalded, three of them severely;
but although a number of passengers were on board,
and many people on the wharf opposite at the thme,
rovidenually no lives were lost.
