 The troubles in Ireland still continue, without any prospect of remedial justice or satisfaction. Even the prospect ot an abun- dant crop docs not appear to allay the mur- murs of discontent.
 The convict Francis, who fired at the Queen, has been rcprievcd. There does exist doubt that the pistol was loaded with a destructive substance. He still asserts that he had not intended to injure her Majes- 1 ty, but did 1t with a view to get provided with home for life similar to that of Oxford. He will be transported for life to q penal settlement.
 The announcement of his reprievc had scarcely been made known, when the pub 1 lie were alarmed by a report that another and exactly similar attempt had been made upon her Maiestys life. The details are almost too tarcical for notice. It appears that as the royal cortegc was returning on Sunday from the Chapel Royal, in St. James, to Buckingham Palace, a detormed youth presented and snapped an old rusty pistol at the carriage in which her Majesty was seated. He was apprehended in the course 1 of the day, when it was discovered that he had recently and repeatedly been heard to say that he admired the conduct of Francis and regretted that he had not succeeded in his attempt; that Francis was a brave tCl- low, and he wished he had been in Francis place, for he would do for the Queen; that he had prime air-gun and pistol, and he would use them in the same cause. His motive is supposed to be the same as that of Francis.
 Latest accounts from Batavia speak in frightful terms of the effects of the late earthquakes in the islands of Sumatra and Java. These earthquakes were caused bya new eruption of tho volcano Gonnong Con- tour, the highest in Java, which covered the rich country around it with ashes and lava, and entirely destroying some of the fi- nest coffee plantations of the island. Many lives were also lost.
 The rich and beautiful American hcircss, Miss Thorne, now at Paris, is about to be married to the Count de Pierre.
 ARRIVAL OF DICKENS HoME.--The packet ship Geo. Washington, Capt. Burrows, which sailed from New York on the 9th ult, arrived at Liverpool on Wednesday, June 20th.- Amongst the passengers were Charles Dick ems, Esq. and his lady.
 CHINA.-The accounts from China arc interesting. On the 18th of March the Chi ncse, 10000 or l2,0O0 strong, tried to retake Ningpoo, while another force attacked ChinghB. In both instances they were re- pulsed with considerable loss.
 The MandarinS also contemplated an at tempt upon Chusan, for which purpose they had collected considerable force on the isl- and of Taisam. Their intentions were, how ever, frustrated, by the Nemesis having been sent to reconnoitre, and ascertain tho extent of their preparations. A boat having been dispatched from this vessel was fired on by tho Chinese, when pulling into creek The Steamers crew were immediately land cd. They succeeded, after killing nlany of the enemy, in capturing 30 junks, supposed to have been intended to convey troops to Chusan.
 It was remarked that all the Chinese Sol diers left dead at Ningpoo and Chinhp, had few dollars about them. It is supposed from ',.is that gratuity was issued to them lmmediately hefnrn they attucked tho city, in order to induce them to advance. It is said that the Emperor has ordered that the pro- vinces which arc the seat of war, shall de- fray the whole of it's expenses.
 Bya notification from the plenipoteniary, itappears that the Chinese will be suffered to use their own discretion in fortifying the banks of tho river, between Whampoa and Canton but ifthey venture to erect any new WUTkS UcE)W lnc IOFUCT pidCt, UOSt1IllCS will be immediately resumed

This last letter of MT. de Bocanegra was written, as you will see, before it was possible for him to expect an answer 10 his first, which answer is now forwarded, and shows the groundless nature of the con- plaints of Mexico. The letter itself is high ly exceptionable and offensive. It imputes violation of honor and good faith to the Government of the United States not only in the most unjust, but in the most l indecorous manner. You have not spoken of it in terms too strong in your circular to the members of the diplomatic corps.
 On the receipt of this, you will write a note to Mir. dc Becanegra, in which you will l say That the Secretary of State of the United States, on the 9th day of July, recei- we'd his letter of the 3lSt ot May; that the President of the United States considers the language and tone of that letter derogatory to tho character of the United States, and highly offensive, as it imputcs to their Gov ernment direct breach of faith and that he directs that no other answer be given to it than the declaration that the conduct of 1 the Government of the United States, in re- gard to the war between Mexico and Texas. having been always hitherto governed by a ct iof rA frN ttS trnt nh
