HOUSE OF LORDS

-THURSDAY

After the royal assent had been given by commission to
several bills,

The Duke of WELLINGTON presented a petition from the
University of Oxford against the ecclesiastical duties and
revenues bill. His opinion, however, differed entirely from
that which the petitioners had expressed, and he thought
that the measure would be beneficial alike to the public and
the church itself. He should give it his most cordial sup-
port. _

Lord KEN ON, in presenting a'petition to the same effect,
regretted that he was obliged to withhold his concurrence
from the sentiments which the noble duke had declared.

The Archbishop of CANTERBURY, the Bishops of DUR-
HAM, SALISBURY, ROCHESTER, and CHICHESTER also pre-
sented petitions against the bill.

A conversation then ensued upon some petitions presented
by Lords CHICHESTER and MOUNTEDGECUMBE against the
encouragement of idolatrous practices in India, and espe-
cially against the employment of British officers and soldiers
in such ceremonies.

Lord MELBOURNE said that orders had been sent out in
reference to the subject referred to, but as he was not fully
informed as to the details, he must hesitate in making any
statement in reference to the petitions.
Lord STANLEY (of Alderley) defended his sons from an
imputation which had been cast upon them of having pro-
cured certain persons to be appointed commissioners on the
lines of mad between London and Holyhead; and after the
presentation of several petitions, a short discussion took
place on the Weaver churches bill.
The regency bill, the turnpike trusts bill, and the assessed
taxes bill, then passed through committee; and one or two
other bills having been forwarded a stage, counsel were called
in on behalf of the petitioners against the ecclesiastical duties
and revenues bill. Mr. K. Bruce and Mr. Hope appeared,
but their arguments were not concluded when the house ad-
journed.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING

There was very little done to-day, and the highest offer on
the field for the Goodwood Cup was 7 to 4 ; 5 to 1 bar
Charles XII.

ST. LEGER.-5 to 2 on the field ; take 3 to 1 on Crucifix

TATTERSALL'S, ThURSDAY

The alterations in the betting to-day may be described in
a few words. For the Goodwood Stakes, Hetman Platoff
and Orelia were backed with considerable spirit, the horse
having the lead at the finish ; Clarion underwent a further
decline, and the other favourites (if such a term can be.ap-
plied to them) were in very little favour. The Cup betting,
was confined to a small number; 2 to 1 was taken eagerly
about the first favourite, and in some instances a shade less •
two or three small sums were also laid on Hetman Platoff
Beggarman, Pocahontas, and Romulus, but we did not ob-
serve any " eagerness" to get on about either ; Lanercost
was friendless. A few engagements were entered into on
Galen, Dr. Camas, and Maroon, for the St. Leger, without
causing any material change. , Gibraltar, for want of sup-
porters, dropped to 15 to 1, and the only bets we heard
against the two favourites were at 5 to 4 against them jointly.
The following were the prices at the close of a very dull af-
ternoon :

GOODWOOD STAKES.

CANADA

The Unicorn steam-packet arrived at Quebec on the 29th
ult., in 80 hours, from Halifax, for the purpose of conveying
the Governor General and suite to Halifax. The Governor
arrived from Montreal the same evening, "and was received,"
says a correspondent of the Montreal Herald, " by a guard
of honor, and by a number of citizens, silently but respect-
fully."

Great numbers of the citizens and the garrison of Quebec
crowded the ramparts, the citadel and the wharfs, when the
Unicorn was coming in. " All seemed anxious," says the
Quebec Gazette," to get a sight of this precursor of the line
of steamers which is to introduce so important a change in
the communications of the North American provinces with
Europe and between each other, and every one was delighted
again to meet a friend and old acquaintance in Captain Doug-
las. Just after the Unicorn came to the wharf a royal salute
was fired from the citadel in honour of Her Majesty's coro-
nation, suiting well two joyous occasions."

(From the Montreal Courier.)

We beg to point attention to an article under the commer-
cial head, extracted from a Buffalo paper, respecting the
large quantity of American wheat, making its way into Upper
Canada, for transmission to England, in the form of flour.
The Americans, very naturally, want to have the advantage
of the carrying trade, with all the profits of shipping; ware-
housing, &c., for so much of the important supply of bread-
stuffs to the British community, as seasons of scarcity admit
of; and they are desirous of getting the same import duty
placed upon Canadian imported flour, as is at present levied
upon the article in England, when coming from a port
belonging to the United States. Our neighbours are ob-
viously fully awake to the advantages of this carrying trade
by the St. Lawrence, and we cannot but regret that acttve
measures should not be taken to bring on the enormous glut
of flour now lying at Kingston for shipment. This stoppage
paralyses the trade to its source. We know not what good
reason there can be against the construction of temporary
flat-boats for the purpose, such as are used on the Mississippi,
and as were formerly in vogue upon similar emergencies,
upon this very route.

BANKING

TO PEOPLE OF GREAT BRITAIN

Edinburgh, Bth July, 1840

So many proposals have been broached upon the subject of
improving our system of circulation, that, like most other
subjects, that have become the topics of the day, it has been
overlaid, and brought into utter and almost irremediable dis-
credit. I shall advert to only a few of the most dangerous.
The introduction of ISSUES by GOVERNMENT has been
suggested by some, and argued very lately in a meeting of
It is yet more insane, if possible, than the

merchants

adoption of a SOLE BANK OF ISSUE! Because even suppos-
ing both to act with good faith to the best of their ability
(and that is a very violent supposition,*) where is the assur-
ance that either would soon know what they were doing?
The members of government in particular, are seldom if ever
MEN of BUSINESS ; that is, men acquainted at once with
principle and detail. Whence, then, their power of con-
troul, whatever might be their wish ? They could have none.
They could not even have the proper anxiety,—nor in the
proper quarter, nor the slightest idea of where they ought to
look for mischief ;—and if they had all these, have they time
to carry their wishes into effect? There can be no doubt,
that the confidence already placed in the government, in mat-
ters of detail, is not only unjustifiable but criminal, consider-
ing whence the money they have to deal with comes. Let
us do ANYTHING therefore, but add the issue of paper to
the mess. We should soon have the cooks of under-officers
keeping books of state-notes in their kitchen drawers, to pay
for their caps and coals, as has happened with respect to
bank-notes, where it was infinitely less to have been antici-
pated.

WHERE AND WHAT IS HEAVEN

BY THE REV. J. B. M'CREA

Say what is heaven, and where

—lteplies the untutor'd native of the West.
("Tis far beyond the purple mountains ; there
" Sires and their sons eternally are blest,
" Sailing in light canoe from place to place,

.
" Unscathed by storm, by hot sun unoppress'd;
"With favourite hounds engaged in joyous chase,
" Or stretch'd on flowery banks in dreamless rest,
• " No dread of white man-robber to molest."

Where? ask, and what is heaven

The scholar of the old philosophy.
He will convey you, at the silent even,

And point where seems to ope the golden sky,
And say, " Beyond that burnish'd coast are given
" Elysian fields of immortality
" To sages gone, for wisdom who have striven ;
" To heroes who have bled for liberty
" Matrons and maids of vestal purity."

What ? ask at Mecca's cave,
And where is Allah's envied paradise?
"Above the sixth-roofed heaven," replies the slave

Of luxury and lust, " the regio'n lies."
He'll speak of sensual pleasures which the brave
And zealous for the prophet realize;
Where carnal appetite may nothing crave ;
Sounds meet the ear and beauty feasts the eyes
With ecstacy that nor abates nor dies.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1840-07-28

But what and where is heaven ?
Say, taught of Christ. "That house unmade witt
hands,
"To all the ransomed by our Jesus given;
"Within whose everlasting portals stands
" A throne of glory, circled by the blaze

" Of pristine seraphs and redeemed bands,
" Who cease not their united songs of praise
" To Him who honour'd all Divine commands,
" And groan'd, and died, and lives the Saviour of al.
lands."

THE UNITED STATES

By the packet-ship Patrick Flenry we have received New
York papers to the Bth instant, inclusive., The following are

the most important extracts

STATE OF TRADE.
NEW YORK, JULY 6
_ .

The past week has evinced no increase of animation in
the different markets. The foreign imports continue very
limited ; in fact, as there are no orders abroad, and the state
of our markets give no margin to the enterprise of foreign
merchants, we cannot reasonably expect any great increase
of imports. The receipts of produce from the interior con-
tinue large. Our canals are sending quantities of broadstuffs
heretofore unparalleled. The following is the official report
of the canal collection, at Buffalo, for the month of June, as
compared with the receipt's of the same month last year :
The amount of the Buffalo Flour and Wheat cleared, and
toll received at the Buffalo-office, in the month of June, 1839
and 1840, is as follows :
Ms. flour. bushels wheat
115,104 114,951

RUSSIA

It seems to be certain that the Emperor of Russia, after
the reviews of the Guards are ended, will return to Poland,
and then go to the southern provinces of the empire. The
following statement of the amount of the troops assembled
there, since the camp at Bordino, is given from an authentic
source. Immediately in the vicinity of the Turkish frontiers
and of the Black Sea, about 50,000 men were assembled. Of
these from 15,000 to 20,000 men may have by this time been
landed on the Circassian coast. Along the frontiers of the
principalities in Poland, and in the interior of the southern
province, about 150,000 men were cantoned. A part of these
is already appioaching the frontier to take up the position of
those that have been sent to Circassia, and to be in readiness
to act in case events at Constantinople should render it ne-
cessary.

Increase,

The receipts of cotton, at all the ports of the United States,
have been large, and, although the shipping of the United
States have made but small freights home, the freights out
were never better, and the voyages out and home have made
an exceedingly good average. The prospect for the shipping
interest is, however, not very flattering, after the present
crop shall have been sent forward. Freights are already be-
coming less firm. _

COTTON.—The cotton market during the week has been
moderately active, without any great alteration in prices.
The southern markets are getting heavy as the season
advances. At some points the price has declined, and at
others advanced. The following is a table of sales, stock,
prices and remarks, at the different points, for the week
previous to the date affixed.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

SPAIN.
(From the Morning Herald of Saturday.)
We have just received the following official intelligence, by
extraordinary express, from our correspondent at Paris :
" PARIS, Thursday Evening, Nine o'clock.—Though the
postcript to my letter of to-day announced the important in-
telligence received from Barcelona, I do not hesitate to send
you an extraordinary express, with the Moniteur Parisien of
this evening, as I consider the official confirmation of that
news too valuable to be a moment delayed from your
readers.

" The .Moniteur Parisien, just published, says—
" ' Government has received from Perpignan telegraphic
despatches of the 21st and 22d, 'which give the following
news from Barcelona :

" On the 18th Espartero, after vain efforts to force the
Queen to revoke the sanction given to the law on the muni-
cipalities, announced that he would leave the city.
" Van Halen, sent for, arrived at Barcelona at the same
time with Ayerbe and Carbo, whose divisions are cantoned
in the neighbourhood.

" In the evening a bloody tumult took place, and the
military force, disclaiming the authority of ministers, did not
prevent these disorders.

" Espartero returned to the palace. obtained the revoca-
tion of the sanction given to the bill, and the formation of a
new ministry. lie re-armed the battalions called •` the
Blouse," and it is said that he named as president of the
new ministry, Onis or Campuzano.
" Barcelona is in the greatest excitement. The Queen
Regent is incensed. M. Perez de Castro, the General
Cleonard, and others of the old cabinet, took refuge on board
the. French brig, the Meleagre. They arrived at Port Ven-
dres on the 22d.

" Our ambassador, the Count de la Redorte, who left on
the 21st, learnt this sad news at sea. Government for-
warded to him to-day such instructions as are rendered.ne-
cessary by this change of circumstances.' "

Agreeably to a public notice given out in the several
churches specified in the following resolution, passed on the
23d day of November, 1839 :
Resolved,—That it be respectfully recommended to the
several congregations of the colored population, of the city
of Baltimore and state of Maryland, to announce, from their
several and respective pulpits, that a public meeting would be
held at the Bethel school room, in the said city, on'Monday
evening the 25th day of November, 1839, for the purpose of
selecting two persons, as delegates, to visit the province of
British Guiana and the island of Trinidad, to ascertain the
character of the climate, soil, natural production. and the
political and social condition of the colored inhabitants of the
province and island aforesaid, and hereafter to report to a
public meeting, to be called for that purpose, all the infor-
mation acquired by them, and especially whether it possesses
such advantages as can justify the free coloured population of
this city and state to migrate thither.

In pursuance thereof, a large anll respectable number of the
free coloured population of the city of Baltimore aforesaid,
met at the Bethel school-room, in the city of Baltimore afore-
said, on Monday evening the 25th November, 1839.

The meeting was organized by the appointment of Thomas
Green, as chairman, and Harrison H. Webb, as secretary ;
the object of the meeting being fully explained, the following
resolution was offered :

Resolved,—That this meeting now proceed to elect two
persons as delegates, with instructions to proceed first to the
province of British Guiana, on the continent of South Ame-
rica, and thence to the island of Trinida.d, and at each of said
places to ascertain the character of the climate, soil, natural
productions, and the political and social condition of the
colored inhabitants of the island and province aforesaid. Said
resolution being adopted, the meeting proceeded to elect two
persons in conformity thereto, and after counting all the bal-
lots, the chairman announced to the meeting, that Nathaniel
Peck and Thomas S. Price had received the largest number
of votes, and were duly elected delegates for the purposes set
forth in the foregoing resolution.
" Now this is to certify to all to whom it may come, that
in pursuance of the proceedings had in the premises, that the
above named Nathaniel Peck and Thomas S. Price, are duly
authorized, empowered, and commissioned to proceed to the
province of British Guiana, and the island of Trinidad, for
the purpose contemplated and especially set forth by the
written and aforegoing resolution.

TO THE PUBLIC.
OF THE TIMES (LONDON) I

IN LIVERPOOL, &c.
SEVERAL complaints having been made, that the copies
of the TIMES, supplied by News Venders, are delivered
at a late hour in the evening, in Liverpool, 'Warrington,
Wigan, Chester, &c, &c, subscribers are informed that
their orders should be given to the agent for the Times, 45,
LORD-STREET, LIVER 001„ and not to the News Vendors,
and they will then be SUPPLIED WITH THE/ TIMES
BY FOUR O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON, AND
WITH THE LATEST EDITIONS. '

To ensure the arrival of the Morning papers in Liverpool,
&c, by Four in the Afternoon, they must be dispatched by
Six o'clock in the Morning, from Euston-square ; and, as
the Agent for the Times is unconnected with the distribution
of any other paper, his Subscribers' copies are forwarded
BY EXPRESS FROM THE TIMES OFFICE TO THE
RAILWAY STATION, AS SOON AS THEY ARE
PUBLISHED.

News Vendors frequently lose the first train from London,
by.the delay consequent upon the collection of their papers
from the various offices, at a distance from each other ; there-
fore the cause of irregularity in their supply of the Times is
obvious. The proprietors of the Public News-rooms should
forward their orders to

L. T. GASKILL,
_ Sole Agent for the Times

45, Lord-street, Liverpool.'
N.B.—The first morning paper supplied in Liverpool or
Lancashire, by four in the afternoon of the same day of its

A very important FREEHOLD ESTATE, situate in the
WEST RIDING of the COUNTY of YORK, with
MANOR, ancient MANSION, beautiful PARK and
GROUNDS, the PERPETUAL ADVOWSON of the
RECTORY of BOLTON, and several very valuable
FARMS; comprising together upwards of 2500 ACRES,
all in DAIRY FARMS, and within a day's journey from
London.

day and to-morrow, to counteract the mischief, the
conservatives will find on the day of election that their

candidates will be in ►uinority

We entreat them not to look at t

ie Mayor as a can-
didate easily beaten, nor to be deceived by the common
remark, that the more respectable whigs will not sup-
port him. It is true that many of them are jealous of
his power and elevation, and would rejoice at his de-
feat ; but when the day of election comes, they will
one and all support him. He possesses energy of cha-
racter, does not disdain attending to details, has at his
command active lieutenants who will not stick at
trifles, and, above all, he will bleed freely. What with
the aid of a popish party, and the engines of the Re-
form Association, the pretensions of his worship to re-
present the borough in Parliament are not to be trifled
with. This is no time to conceal matters. UNLESS

THE CONSERVATIVES REGISTER 600 VOTES MORE

THAN THEY HAVE AT PRESENT ON THE BOOKS, SIR
JOSHUA WALMSLEY AND MR. LABOUCHERE WILL

BE MEMBERS FOR LIVERPOOL

And as the payment of rates entitles a man to parish
relief, numbers of those who are so shamefully put on
the registry will soon be found applicants for parochial
relief, and the parishioners at large will in the long run
have to pay for these scandalous proceedings. And
this impudent fraud of swamping the registry is being
acted by those who denounced the old freemen as unfit
to exercise the elective franchise—men whose loyalty
was their crime, and men a thousand times more re-
spectable than the shoeless and trouserless swarms of
wretches sent forth from the sty of the Protector As-
sociation.
