ENGLAND.
The British Parliament had been principally
occupied in discussing the subject of Tithes, the
| Poor Laws. and the comforting Of University
hOnors upon dissenters. An act authorizing
the latter had passed the House of Commons by
majority Of ia.
| 1t is very evident, from the tendency of the
discussion going on, that deep determination
exists, by large party in England, to reduce
the revenues of the Church establishment; and
not few are disposed to sever the connection
between Church and State. Earl Grey is pledg-
ed, indeed, to sustain the conneXion, and will
doubtless do so as long as he can; but the cur
rent has been setting in very strong ever since
Lord John Russell, in 1923, obtained repeal
of the Test Oath. The Tories have been grow.
ing weaker ever since, whilst in the mean time
the liberal party has been growing stronger and
stronger. 1t is expected that the bill authorz-
ing dissenters to receive University degrees will
be rejected in the House of Lords; but the pa
pers speak of its final passage in tones of en-.
tire confidence,
The arrival of Don Carlos in England has
been previously announced in this paper. This
parsonage landed at Portsmouth on the 18th of
June, with his family and suite, from a yacht
which had been despatched to receive him from
the Donegal
On Friday, the Goth of June, in answer to
a question by the Marquis of Londonderry,
Earl Grey declared that it was the intention of
Government to receive and treat Don Carlos,
while he remained in that country, as a Prince
of the Blood of Spain.
A public dinner was about to be given to Ge-
neral Nina, in London on the 18th, in antcpa-
ton of his return to Spain, where it is under
stood he will occupy an important place in the
government. Joseph Bonaparte had requested
that his name might be added to the Committee
on the subject
Mr. Buckingham, the member for Leeds, is
about to introduce bill into Parliament to
prevent the barbarous practice Of duelling.
1t is stated from undoubted authority that
Charles Y. has sent to Don Carlos cheque on
London banker for a million Of francs, (f4O,-

Mr.. Spring Rice the new Secretary for the
Colonies having Of course resigned his seat in
the Commons on coming into the Ministry, has
been returned again for Cambridge by very
small majority. 1t was considered Of vital con-
sequence to the ministry that his election be
carried, and every effort was made for that
purpose. On all hands it seems to be conceded
that the present ministry stands very insecure
ly. The Times, and the Morning Herald, lead
ing journals, are strongly opposed to them;
upon the extraordinary and unenviable tenure
that there are no persons willing to take their
places.

Der or January last The stock of goods, how
ever, which had accumulated in the manufac-
turers hands during the early part of the year
is now much reduced. In consequence of the
fall in the price Of wool since January, and the
dull markets which have been experienced
since that time, the manufacturers have been

of goods have in consequence become scarce

ton OF the fall
The great falling off in demand consequent
on the arrangement Of the monetary system in
America, the fall ofthe price of wool, the strike
Of the tailors in London, and the strike of the
Trades Union men here, combined almost to
annihilate the spring trade in Leeds and the
season being now far advanced, little can be
expected to be done in the warehouses, until
the buyers are down to make their purchases
for the fall
The advance in the price Of wool at the Ger

the demand for English worsted stuffs in that
country, though the stuifs are not made of for

CHOLERA IN DUBLIN.-The cholera has made
its appearance again in Dublin and its vicinity,
with scarcely any abatement of the virulence
which marked its first approach. In the
neighborhood ofKingston and Blackjack (says
letter writer, numerous fatal cases have &C.
Cured; and although no public mention has
been made Of cholera in this city, have heard
from good authority that 40 deaths occurred in
one parish on the north side of the river last
week.
CRops AND MARKETs.-The crops in Queens
county, Ireland, appear healthy and luxuriant,
and the potatoes promise well. In very few
instances there has been failure of the early
kinds, which are not planted in this country ex-
cept for the use of the gentry; so that the class
whose fooc is the potato exclusively will suffer
nothing by the deficiency; but the general crop
is thriving and forward for the time Of year.
The poor mans garden is well stocked.
