 Byth ship Mary Howland, Captain Akin. which sailed from Liverpool on the 18th of July,hays received London papers to the lSth.
 A very dangerous conspiracy had been dis covered among some Polish officers and the numerous Russian prisoners in Warsaw, in time to prevent any i'll effects.

The plot if not detected, might have been productive of most disastrous results to the Poles. One part of it was to arm the Russian prisoners from the arsenal to destroy the bridge of Praga, and thus cut off inc troops stationed there from the relief of The Capital while the Russians were to eross the vlstuias at Flock or Dohrxga; and enter Warsaw. n the absence of the troons.

 Nothing of importance is furnished by the papers, unless nOie favorable prospect of an amicabIe settlement of Belgian affairs.
 The Reform Bill was to go into committee on Tuesday the 12th; and the question of it's disposition in the House of Lords had assuln- ed an intense interest. Tho Globe states it as report in well informed quarters that the bill will be rejected by majority of g, the bishops constituting the majority.
 The Manchester Guardian of July Q, sayss "After adebate of several days. the question on which the lssumptioR of the throne by Prince Leopold depends,slill on Tuesday last, (5th) remained unsettled. Great violence had been displayed by the war party. The friends of peace and order, however, at length succeeded and gained the attention of the House, and several of them, and particularly M. Devaux and M. Lebau, Minister for For eign Affairs, are stated to have spoken with great talent, discretion and effect.

 POland.-The foreign news this week is brief and not very important. The last ac- counts from Poland merely confirm the favor- able views already before the public, and the position and resources of the Patriot army are said to have disposed the Emperor to lis ten to more moderate counsel; his honor, it appears, is the only thing that prevents hin, from abandoning the campaign; and that the gaining of battle would be followed by the adoption of measures of conciliaiion. Other accounts, and we suspect the true ones, rep resent the Autocrata as more determined thar ever, and lest he should be frustrated by tn, mediation pf France or England, he has em 8ployed Austria to prevelit smg such applica < tion.. The French, hOwcKHf are likely l. make representations that may alter the Elm peror's tone.

 IHe Presidency cy.--Rumors have for few days prevailed, that overtures have been made by the anti-masonic party to MT. Adams and to MT. Rush. which have been declined by both of these gentlemen. We do not youch for the correctness of these rumors nor is it m Gur power to trace them to an authentic source. The precise extent of these oyertures does not appear 10 be understood but " hat evef form they may have assumed, their pur- port and substance may be safely coniectur- ed. It is said that more light will shortly be thrown on this subject. and that it will appear that each of these gentlemen declined taking any step inconsistent with personal and polit- IcaI attachment to Mr. Clay.
 When the facts alluded to (if facts they bel are taken into consideration with some others. they appear to authorize important inferences relative tO the effects of anti-masonry upon the Presidential election. Can an anti-nla- sonic candidate, as such, be found :? We mean 2 candidate who can go before the people with any personal and political power and strength 1t is no secret, that Mr..Clay has been urged by anti-mas0ns, even to importantly, to take some step, which would enable them, on their exclusive system, to support bim and that he has declined. It is currently believed here, that MT. Webster refused the proffered honor of their support; although, as political trends ofi that gentleman, we pretend to no knowledge 0n this point, not possessed by the public. Itis ascertained that Judge Mclean ms been appealed to without success. Mr. Qalhoun cannot be the man, for the strength of anti masonry resideain New York, Penn sylvania, and Ohio, and we presume the peo- pIe of those states are not to be rallied, even under the anti-masonic banner. in favor of null lihcatlon, and against the industry of the country. It then, Mr. Adams and Mir. Rush nave also declined being the candidates of this party, lasit is now rumored that they bavel U would appear that there is no individual that has been thought of for the Presidency, wno IS willing. under the circumstances of the case, to accept their nomination.
 The anti-masons must then, at this election, oring forward some individual of their own party, not possessed of high national standing, and without the hope of success or they must sIpport'izne of the regular candidates. m the latter case, Mr. Clay ought to receive their support--because should he succeed. sre sagtt huce q first fafe Prssideat.

But let us bear constantly in mind that
the union, the happiness, the peace and
power Of our beloved country depend OH
the domestic industry without which these
United States would cease to be an inde-
pendent nation.
Let those who acknowledge this great
bond of union never forget that "united
we stand and divided we fall;" that su-
gar and iron, hemp and lead, wool and
cotton, and the other productions of our
diversified soil, elaborated by our own
indefatigable industry, and protected by
our own free government, are, in effect,
the government that holds us together,
and make US one people, that the home
market is the palladium Of home itself in
all its most endearing and ennobling po-
litical and social relations, without which
we have no common country, but should
be reduced to the condition Of dismem-
bered and delenceless provinces. Let il
therefore be the instinct of all who ac-
knowledge its cause as their own, to
stand together, like the fathers of the rev.
olution; with no local jealousy, no i'm
polite preference of one part of our sys-
tenn to another, but maintaining u united
and infleXible adherence to the whole.
Spontaneous conventions like the pres
ent originated our glorious revolution and
our admirable constitution. May the
Almighty Power that presided over THEN
deliberations, and that has never yet fail
ed to guard these United States, shed the
gracious influence of his protection upon
our labors
