[Correspondence of the Herald.] Lonpon, July 5, 1842. Theproceedings in Parliament have possessed no very especial interest, business having been devoted to the income tax end the new tariff questions,both of which are now passed. It is expected that the business of the session will be broughtto a close about the 20th of this month. The long-expected ordinance for an increase on. the importation of linen and linen-threads has at length been published by the French Government A new ministry has been formedin Spain. In Portu- gal the electors have gone against the Govern- ment. ALondon paper, ithe British Queen, states that during the last few weeks the Premier’s health has become materially impaired, and that his indisposi- tion is making alarming strides. Oppenheimer & Co. of Hamburg have failed. Considerable inconvenience has arisen amongst the trading community by the government having is- sued their proclamation for cutting and defacing light gold, as the greater part of the sovereigns in circulation and all the half sovereigns have lost weight by friction. The indisposition of the people to render themselves liable to the loss, ageasioned for some time a scarcity of silver; but the currency isgradually recovering itself. The minister ex- plained that the act was adopted at the present pe- riod from a consideration of the state of the ex- changes, and that it would have led to abuses had notice been given of the intention. . * The fine mail steamer Columbia, which arrived on the evening of the 28th, made the run home in nine days anda half from Halifax to Liverpool, be- ing the shor‘est Feasehe yet accomplished across the Atlantic; the Great Western arrived at Bristol on the morning of the 29th ult., after a pasate of twelve and a half days from New York. dy Bagot with her three daughters and suite proceed on by the nt steamer, to join the Governor General Sir Charles Bagot.

Rumors are rife in London of diesensions among the Conservative party, and that there is even a se- rious difference of opinion in the | cabinet, arising out of the poor law bill, and certain of Sir Robert's propositions in the House of Commons. A serious breach is reported to exist between the tight honorable baronet at the head of the govern- ment, and the noble lord who presides over the colouial department. This has been more than suspected for some time; and recent circum- stances seem to illustrate and strengthen the fact of its existence. The manner in which Lerd * Stanley was put down by Sir Robert Peel in the House of Commons, in the act of rising to speak on an important question, with hig papers arranged, and his notes prepared for a ech, made a imy ‘on on the House. The Premier was of course submitted to; but the effect upon the Colonial Secretary was manifest. The inal nity was too marked to be forgotten or forgiven. Yours, w. Anoruer ATTEMPT To ASsASSINATE THE QUEEN. —The convict Francis, who fired At the Queen, has been reprieved. There does not exist a doubt thatthe pistol was loaded with a destructive substance. He still asserts thut he had not intended to injure her Ma- but did it with a view to get provided with a hours for life similar to that of Oxford. He will be transported for life to ent settlement. announcement ef his reprieve had scarcely been made known when the public were alarme: by a report that another and exactly similar attempt had been make upon her Majesty’s life. The de- tails are almost too farcieal for notice. It appears that as the royal cortege was returning on Sunday from the Chapel Royal, in St. James's, to Bucking- ham Palace, a deformed youth presented and snap- ped an old rusty pistol at the carriage in which her majesty was seated. He was seized by another youth, who wrested the weapon from his and, but the policeman in attendance refused to take him in charge, believing it to be a hoax, on which he was permitted to escape. He was apprehended in the course of the day, when it was discovered that he had recently and repeatedly been heard to say that he ad: the conduct, of Francis, and regretted that he had not succeeded in the attempt; that was a brave fellow, and that he wished he had been in Francis’s place, for he would do for the Queen; that he had a prime ait-gun and pistol, and he would use them in the same cause. The pistol had an old flint, lock with screw and rifle barrel.— Upon detaching the barrel, which was done with some difficulty, from the screw having become ex- ceedingly rusty, owing to its long disuse, there were found in it a portion of very coarse powder, a piece of tobacco pipe, and some paper waddi His motive is supposed to be the same as that of Fran- cis. Tar Wratner anv rue Crors—From all parts of Boajand, Ireland,and Scotland we hear of copious fails of rain, accompanied with thunder and light- ning, after a long continuance of warm weather.

Great Britain and Texas, The ratifications of the long-pepding treaties be- tween Great Britain and Texas were exchanged at two o’elock on Tuesday the 23¢1 inst., by the Earl of Aberdeen, plenipotentiary of Great Britain, and | the Hon. Ashbel Sinith, plenipotentiary of the Re- public of Texas. These treaties are three in number:—a treaty of amity, navigation, and commerce—a treaty under- | taking mediation by Great Britain between the Re- publies of Mexicoand Texas—and a treaty granting reciprocal right of search for the suppression of the African slave trade. ‘They. were negotiated in 1840, and concluded “in November ot that year by Viscount Palmerston and Gene- ral James Hamilton. ‘The powers to ratify the two first have been a considerable time in En- ‘land, but their Sorpliros has been delayed until the ratifications of the treaty granting the right of search could be simultaneously exchanged. _ Art. 1. The Republic of Texas agrees that if, by means of the mediation of her Britmnic Majesty,ai unlimited truce shall be established between Mexi- co and Texas hse thirty days after this present convention shall have been communicated to the | Mexican government by her Britannic Majesty's mission at Mexico, and if within six months from | the day on which that communication shall have been se made, Mexico shall have concluded a treaty of peace with Texas, then and in such case the Re- public of Texas will take upon itself a portion, amounting to one million pounds sterling, of the ca- pital of the foreign debt contracted by the Republic of Mexico before the Ist of February, 1835. Art. 2.—The manner in which the capital of one million pounds sterling of Litiy> debt, mentioned in the preceding article, ehall be transferred from the republic of Mexico to the republic of Texas, shall be settled hereafter by special agreement be- tween the republic of ‘Texas and the republic of Mexico, under the mediation of her Britannic Ma- jesty.

Psew laid certain papers onthe table by command of her Majesty, and said— These arefthe papers in respect of which a question was lately put to me by the hon. and learned gentle- man opposite. They are the treaties which were concluded by her Majesty’s late government with the Republic of Texas, and which we, acting on the almost uniform usage observed in public, have felt it our duty, as there was no question of an exceed- ing ot powers by the agents authorised by the British government, toratily. Mr. O'Connxut wished to know from the right hon. baronet whether, since the intimation had been iven to this country that Texas intended to Blockade the western coast of America, embracing an extent of 700 or 800 miles, he had received any information as to the capability of Texas to make that blockade effectual 2 Sir R. Peet said that the last account which he saw from Mexico stated that there was then no bona fide blockade. He hoped that Texas would with- hold from the blockade. That was his hope; but he could give no assurance on the subject. He would repeat that the last account which he saw stated that up to that time there had been no effec- tual blockade instituted by the Republic of Texas, Bank or Enctanp.—In the Gazette of Tuesday we have the return of the quarterly average of the weekly liabilities and assets of the Bank of Eng- land, for the three months from the 29th of Mare! to the 18th ult.

Destrrvute Foreieners ann ForeiGx Cox — At the Mansion House, London, on Monday, the Lord Mayor found it necessary to allude in terms of strong reprehension to the conduct of some of the consuls acting in Londen for foreign govern- ments, with respect to destitute foreigners, a subject to which he trusted the notice of the British govern- ment or of parliament would be directed before the termination of the present session. He called the attention of the Austrian cohsul .a short time ago to the deplorable condition of an aprcreenste sailor, who had been born in one of the Italian States Who was subject to that government, and who had been abandoned to starvation or the casual charity of those who walked the streets. To that misera- ble individual’s claim the consul turned a deaf ear, because it Depopdiag that the claimant had worked on board an English vessel, no assistance was given. Soon after his lordship had expressed himself on the subject of the conduct of some of the eonsuls resident in London, an American sailor was brought before him. This seaman had broken windows in order to obtain a lodging, and upon being questioned by the Lord Ma: ‘or, told a melancholy tale about his sufferings and privations, and said that all he wanted was a: home, ‘ x The Lord yor said, he felt it to be incumbent on him to state, that the American consul was a marked and most humane exception to the class of ns of whom he had spoken. That gentleman ad uniformly come forward to the aid and relief of poor Americans when applied to, and the following report which has been just received with reference to the sailor at the bar, proved how desirous he was to exercise his functions for the benefit even of indi- yiduals whose conduct was culpable. The follow- ing was the rt:—John Whitcom applied at the consulate the 8th of May, 1838, and was sent to the boarding-house where he remained until the 18th of the aame month, when, being well clothed, he was ordered on board the ship Ontario, bound to New. York, by which vessel his passage was paid by the consul. He, however, absconded trom the vessel, and was not again heard from until the 21st of July, of the ante 7984 when he again aptied for relief, and was refused. On the ot July, he was brought to the consulate by an officer from the Thames reoke office with a request from the ma- gistrate that he might be taken care of, and, being in a miserable condition, he was again en in hand and sent to the boarding-house until the 27th of July, when he was again clothed and his passage a second time paid to New-York. On the 12th of last March, he again applied for relief, having de- serted his ship at East Cape, and was for a short time d ;, but being in a state of starvation, and without clothing to cover him, he was taken in hand on the 24th of March and sent to the boarding house, where he was attended by the surgeon of the consulate, well clothed, and every care taken of him. He remained till the 19th of April, when he again absconded from the boarding-house, taking the clothing with which he had been furnished He as not since applied at the consulate, but was seen within a day or two of his leaving the house in the most miserable state, having, no doubt, sold the clothing with which he absconded.” His lordship, after having read the report, said, that the public would form their own opinion of the contrast between the conduct of the American con- sul and that of the gentleman to whose humanity it was uselees to fppesl,, sod sentenced the American seaman to hard labor in bridewell for two calendar months. PRESENTATION OF AN Appress To THE Hon. Ep- warp Everert.—The folowing address was pre sented, ata public_meeting he Manchester, to the Hon. Edward Everett, ambaesador to this coun- try from the United States Government, who was in that town attending upon the British Association for the Advancement of Science. “ We, the undersigned merchants, manufacturers, traders, and others, inhabitants of Manchester and its vicinity, feel gratified and honored by your tem- porary visit to our town, and_ gladly avail ourselves of the opportunity of expressing the friendly senti- ments we entertain towards the great countrygwhose people and government you represent. Y “* We are sensible of the strong ties by which the United States and our own country are already con- nected. We feel that we are the same people, and of the same branch of the great human Reauly: with those who haye converted the pathleas wastes of yoo vast continent into a land where civilization as reared her standard, and where man is pursuing with unfaltering steps allthat is great and noble, and worthy of his highest ambition. We feel that much of what is cheering in the luture progress of the world may depend apon the career of (wo nations so intimately allied, and that a heavy responsibility is imposed upon each coun- try in woening Out its part of the all-wise designs ot Divine Providence, in the advancement of the high- est common interests of our race. “We believe that he is the best friend of both countries who endeavors to promote an equitable and enduring alliance between them ; and that no- thing can serve more powerfully to insure this than the extension of reciprocal commercial intercourse, and the creation of a closer mutual dependence operating to the greater mutual advantages of all parties. “We deeply regret that there should exist the slightest barrier to the most perfect commercial freedom between the enterprising population of these islands and our brethren of the American continent. NEW YORK, We trust that the delusive idea of protecting one branch of industry. by inflicting injuries upon other branches, is fast passing away ; and that ere long, the abundant products of your country, and. the va rious manufactures of otrs, will be’ freely inter- changed; thatcommercial transactions will Bhooms as uncontrolled by fiseal restrictions as are the waves, which, whilst they separate, unite the parent with the daughter country. We feel couvinced, that the doom of monopoly is sealed in our land, that even the blindness of party is be- coming enlightend, and that all the wise aud good willsoon be brought to regret that a single hour should have been allowed to pass without the adop- tion of the sound principles of free trade. “We would hope—nay, we cannot doubt—that in your native land, of ef free insututions you are justly proud, commerce will not long be permit- tedto languish in letters; and that all who would give her perfeet freedom, in your country and in ours, will not only hold out to each other the hand of fnendship, and co-operate to advance the great principles we espouse, but to have to greet each other on the speedy realization of the objects they so ardently desire. “We are most axious that perpetual peace should exist between the two countries—peace founded on mutual respect and mutual benetiis; and that wherever the flag of our respective countries may be. unturled, it may be hailed as the herald of amity, of civilization, and of religion. — “To your excellency, findividually, we desire to convey our most earnest wish that your sojourn amongst us may be gratifying to yourself, and tend, in an eminent degree, to promote the most kindly feelings between the great people, whose interests you have the distinguished honor to represent, and the inhabitants of these realms, a va majority of whom, we feel assured, most cordially unite with us in the sentiments we now express, fr it suasion that the consummation of their views will secure solid and lasting benefit and blessings to onr- selves, to you, and to the world.” Mr. Eversrr, having received the address, amidst the most cordial and friendly greetings and eheers from the meeting, replied to the following effec Mr. Greg and Gentlemen—I feel much flatter- ed by the unexpected honor of the address, which you have had the goodness to present me, on behalf of the merchants, manufacturers, traders,and others, inhabitantsjofManchester andits vicinity. [ beg you to receive my grateful acknowledgnients for your kind welcome, with which I shall lose no time in acquainting my government. Permit me to offer you my sincere thanks for the friendly sentiments you have been pleased to express towards the people and government of the United States, and to assure you that those sentiments are cordially reciprocated y those whom I have the honor—however un- worthily—torepresent. The relation between our two countries is indeed, sir, as you have described it, of a most intimate character ; more so probably than has ever existed between two great states, 1 am gratified to believe that this relation has contri- buted, in no small degree, to the prosperity of both ; and that such may continue to be the case, must be the desire of every patriotic citiaen of either coun- try. (Cheers.) On those topics of the address. nina are matters of controversy, both in Eny Jand and the United States, the delicacy of my official position precludes me from any comment. Our two governments (led by similar considerations in refer- ence to the state of their finances) are now engaged in revising the laws of trade. 1 shall cordially re- Joice in the utmost possible extension of commercial intercouree, which the wisdom and experience of the two governments shall deem compatible a the rralttre of their constituents. (Loud cheers.) In your wishes for the perpetuation of peace between England and the United States, | most heartily cen- cur. Its interruption I shouid deem most disastrous to both; I will add, to the whole civilised world. (Renewed cheers.) Nothing that I can d sistently with my duty to my country, shall d to avert such a catastrophe ; of which, I am happy to say, [have no apprehensions. It is my ardent de- sire that our two kindred countries may run a long and glorious career of mutual and emulous exertion to promote the arts of civilized life. I deeply re- gret, Mr. Greg and gentlemen, that my visit to Man- chester is necessarily so short: hat have seen of it but increases my desire to see more. In respect- fully taking my leave of you, I beg you to accept my best wishes for your individual weltare, and for the prosperity of this great, enterprising, and intelli- gentpopulation. (Great cheering ) : The interview shortly afterwards terminated ; all present, we believe, being much gratified with the Yet in which Mr. Everett responded to the ad- ress, Hovors To THe Amertcan Ampassapor.—At the anowal dinner of the members of the British Asso- ciation, held in Manchester, on Saturday, after the usual routine, of toasts, Lord Francis Egerton, the chairman, said that among the distinguished foreign- ers present there was one whom, although he came from a far country, from another hemisphere, and asthe representative of a foreign State, still he (the chairman) would not class “a foreigner” —(ap- plause) nor would he nor any of his countrymen be so considered in this island. “They spoke a common language, fier, had a common origin, and the same Anglo Saxon blood flowed in the veins of both.— (Loud and continued cheering.) It was only ne- cessary to go from the factory exhibitions of Man- chester to the quays and docks of Liverpool, for any man to be convinced that no mission could be at once more honorable or more important than that of cultivating and cementing, if he may, friendly re- lations between two such conntries as the United States of America and England, which was, he be- lieved, the main part of the mission of the distin- uished individual near him to this country. (Hear, rom Mr. Everett) The high reputation of his ho- nourable friend had preceded him here ; and he (the chairman) was sure that !ngland would consider she could not have had a higher compliment p: her by the United States than in sending Mr. rett as herrepresentative. (Applause.) The health of his Excellency was then drunk by the company standing, and with marked enthusiasm. His Excellency the American Minister then rose, and was received with loud cheers, He said that he should be more or less than man if he did not feel considerable embarrassment at the manner in which the toast had been received. He was, however, relieved i Aisa conviction that it wasmeantto reach far beyond himself—across the Atlantic—and that it was meant for the people whom he had the honor to represent. (Cheers) He accepted all their kind- ness in the spirit of frankness in which it was given. Whilst he experienced such a welcome as the pre- sent, he felt indeed that he was not a stranger amongst them, but that in crossing the wide ocean that separated his country from theirs, he had come into the land of his fathers to receive the kindness and the charities of hospitality at the hands of their successors. (Cheers.) ITis éxcellency then ad- verted to the relations between colonies and mothe countries whether founded upon conquest or emi- gration. Egypt, Greece, and Rome, had each had colonies, but there never had been, and there never could be, such relations between them as now ex- isted between the United States of America and this country. (Applause ) Those relations were to C= be found in the mysterious bond of a common lun-* quage, a common origin, and a_ perfect conviction that they were destined to execise an all-powerful influence on whatever they were destined, and to fulfil the highest endsin the order of Providence for the welfare and happiness of both. When America was prosperous, the hand-loom weavers felt it in England; and when manufactures and com- meree in England languished, the pulses of America beat feebly and slow. With respect to the now staple eager America, it was doubtless known that the cultivation of cotton in the United States was but of recent origin. So re- cently as 1784, the first parcel that arrived at Liver- pool was seized as contraband, and supposed to be the production of the West Indies. Now, by the improvements made in the culture and treatment of the cotton in America, more especially in the pro- cees by which the seed wae separated from the fibre and by the improvement afleeted by Arkwright and his successors in the spinning of it, the supply from America would be as boundless from the former cange as the demand in mepians from the latter; and the importance of that trade and manufacture could hurdly be overstated, when it wag admitted that its resources carried England through the crisis of the French revolution. (Cheers. epublicansas the: (the Americans) were, there wasa much greater ‘fj tinity between Ameriea and Great Britain, political- ly speaking, than between any of the European mo- narehies, or between any two nations on the faee of the earth ®(Cheers.) With the Americans with the British, liberty was enshrined in the consti- tution ; and if the pillars of their monarchy were laid deep in the minds and the affections of the people, by which they were brought to, support the throne, the foundations of American liberties rested upon trial by jury, habeas he te , freedom of speech, the liberty of the press, and self government, tempered hy submission to lawful authority. (Cheers,) His Excellence concluded by expressing the happiness he should feel in being instrumental in cementing the best understanding between England and the United States, and resumed his seat amid the cheers of the Assembly. The remaining toasts of the evening were all suit- ably introduced and responded ah yet serve to | SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 23, 1842. =———= Accwenr to 11 Marguis anp Marcutoness oF | Warenrony.—On Saturday, the 25th ult., the mar- quis was driving his bride in'the grounds of Curragh- more, when one of the horses ofhis phwton, stung by a hornet, ran away, with his yokefellow, and the riders were thrown out. The marquis was un- hurt; but the lady suffered a slight contusion of the brain, and a severe contusion on her left side. The most exaggerated reports reached Dublin; where, as well as in the immediate neighborhood, the most lively interest was excited; the recent nuptials of the pair, the marquis’s kindness—he had just for- given histenants a whole year’s rent—and’ the en- gaging demeanor of the bride, were circumstances which gave more than usual interest to the accident. From the latest accounts, it appears that the mar- chioness is recovering, by slow degrees. Important To THE Corn ‘TRape —Since the print- ing the bill for the new tariff of duties onthe 17th ult., an important relaxation has been introduced by the committee of allowing corn m the bonding warehouses an allowance tor natural waste, viz :— Twelve months and upwards—wheat, barley and Tye, # percent; oats, 5 per cent.

The suspension of paymeast by three highly re- spectable firms on the Continent has been announ- ced in terms of general regret. The first of these is the very old established firm of Nevin. Kerr, Black and Co., of Constantinople. The second is that of Wilson, Hurvey & Co.,-a mereantile house of high standing at St. Petersburg: and the third that of Op- penheimer & Co., of Hamburg—a failure which it 1s supposed will be felt inthis country, as the firm weré considerable purchasers of Manchester goods. Tae Wesr Inpta Mam Boats —The United Service Gazette announces that the losses of the company some time past have not fallen far short of £1,000 per diem, that the contractors have solicited the Adiniralty to relieve them from their responsi- bilities, that it is likely the Admiralty will purchase the boats; and in the course of the next two months, the entire service will be placed under the direction of the Board.

A gentleman employed by government has, it is said, in ascending the river Juba, in Africa, fallen in with a considerable tract of country, inhabited by a curious race of pigmies, not exceeding four feet in height, with very curious views of religion and government, and exactly resembling the type of Herodotus.

A grand entertainment was given on the 29th at Goldsiith’s Hall, to Sir Robert Peel and the rest of her Majesty’s ministers, at*which the right honor- able Baronet indulged in a speech alike distingnish- ed for its strength and its length. More than five thousand operatives were out of employ in the mining districts of Traro, and about anequal numberof women and children whose ser- vices had been connected with mining operations. The distress among them was unparalleled. ‘The third dividend declared under the bankrupt- cy of Garry and Curtis, the Baltic merchants, is two pence in the pound.
