The Liverpool steam ship arrived this morning
about o'clock, in just III days frsm Liverpool,
bringing files to August LIST, her day ofleaving.
She brings intelligence of rise in cotton from a
4to penny per pound. Sales at that, fair.
The Bank of England has tried to negotiate a loan
with the Bank of France and failed. Exchanges are
better. The money market displayed some frmness
on the 30th ut and purchases Of Consols, for time,

places, and the Queen is in excellent health There

Pasha was victorious The Sultan is dead.
The Canada Cove rnment Bill had passed to third
reading in the House of Lords The following is the
debate thereon.
The Marquis Of Normandy moved the bringing up
the report Of the Canada Government Bill, which
being done, the noble marquis moved an amendment
on the third clause respecting the powers Of taxation
vested in the Governor and Council.
The Duke Of Wellington believed that the house
had agreed generally that powers should be given to
the Governor and Council to levy for local i'm
provements, but it appeared that the Governors
spondence and the report made by the council
to the Governor, pointed to measures which could
not in this country be deemed to be local improve
ments He did understand that either this the
other house Of Parliament had approved Of general
extension to the Governor and council of powers to
lew taxes to establish local jurisdictions, to build
ails or for many other objects adverted to both in
the dispatches of the Governor and in the report OF
the council. Now, it was very desirable that this
bill and the powers which il conferred should not be
misunderstood in Lower Canada; and under these
circumstances he (the Duke of W. ngton) earnestly
recommended that few words should be added to
the previso at the end of this clause stating to what
objects the power of taxation should not be extended
in other words, setting forth from the words in
the despatch and the report those and OBJ
ects to which was not the intention Of the Govern
ment Of this and the other House OF Parliament that
the power of taxation should apply
The Marquis Of Normandy said, he would endea-
vor to have a provso framed before the third read
ing, to meet the views of the noble duke.
The Duke of Wellington was strongly in favor OF
the completion of the Welland Canal, but that was
matter which principally regarded U. Canada. How
ever the whole subject of the defence Of the colony
by fortication and the Improvements in the commu-
nication between the Upper and Lower Provinces,
formed the ost interesting topic to which the Go
vernment could turn its attention at the present
time. There had been most voluminous reports on
the subject Of the defence of the communication by
Notifications and he must say, If that effected,
it would be certain not only to tranquill-
IT, but the colonies would be quite safe from TO
reign INVASION.

This confederation Of the detection Of the Turkish
Admiral with the fleet is bad enough. But wsrsc
and still startling tidings have we fear, be
added 10 il. These are, that the members OF the

hereditary government OF Syria and Egypt, and IN
viting Mehemet Ali 10 Constantinople to reorganizs
the Government.
All this is said 10 have been done by Russia; and
that England, France, and Austria will stop these
measures and preserve the independence OF turkey.

tween Aleppo and the Euphrates. Ibraham Pacha,
who was more and more spprehensive that the pre-
sence ef the Ottoman army would cause an insurrec-
ton in Syria, has attacked the army ct Hatz Pacha,
and overthrown IL after a short action. The Turks
behaved IN the most shameful manner; they betook
elves flight after the first canonade, and II is
probable that Hafz Pacha has scarcely been able to
save or rally third part Of his army. This blow Is
decisive and places the throne III tho young Sultan
in extreme danger, who is bat just proclaimed.
On the 18th ult, between Aintab and Bir, Ibraham
Pacba ordered a general attack OF the whole army
