ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA. in Spain— Overland Mall—State of Affairs in Aft- ghanistan—The Chinese offering terms, The Britannia arrived in Boston at 4 o’clock Fri- day morning. We received her news atd yesterday morning. She brought eighty-six passengers to Halifax and fifteen from there to Boston. The news is of great importance. The overland mail had arrived. The Chinese had offered terms; to pay $40,000,000 and to give up Hong Kong to the British. The Duke of Nemours is to be Regent of France. The Christinos at Madrid are still active against the Regent. It 1s understood that the Cortes will be dissolved and a new one elected about the monthof November. Tur Covrr.—Much has been said of late rela- tive to the intended visits of her Majesty to several of the principal nobility, but we believe most of them to have been inaccurate. We learn froman authentic quarter, that, at present nothing of her Majesty’s intention has transpired, beyond it being known, that in the month of September, the Queen, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert and the néblemen and ladies of the royal suite, will honor the Marquis of Exeter with her royal pre- sence at his lordship’s noble mansion, Burghley House, Northamptonshire. Tux Covrt.—The Court have ieft the country retreat at Claremont (still so called in the authentic chronicle of royalty) for Buckingham Palace. The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the he- reditary Prince and Princess of Saxe Coburg Gotha, arrived in town a little before five o’clock on Mon- day, inan open carriage and four, escorted by a party of Hussars, The infants and suite followed i three other carriages and four. The Queen hasled a quiet life, walking occasionally in the gardens of the palace with Prince Albert. On Wednesday her Majesty rode out in an open carriage and four, with the Princess of Saxe Coburg Gotha, Prince Albert and the aaa?! Prince riding by the carriage on horseback. Col. Bouverie and Col. Grey also attend- ed on horseback, and two Maids of Honor followed inanother carriage. Among those who have joined the small dinner parties at the palace are Sir Robert Peel and Viscount Melbourne. Mexico and ‘Texas, Hous or Commons, Aug. 2.—Mr. Cobden made some enquiries relative to the destination of the Montezuma steam frigate, said to be fitting out in London for an invasion of Texas, and commanded by an officer in the service of the Eritish govern- ment. Sir R. Peel said he believed the facts were these : two vessels were fitting out, one at Blackwall and the other at Liverpool. It was said that thoze ves- sels were for the Mexican government. Applica- tion had been made to the British government to permit them to be manned with British seamen, and that permission had been refused. The hon. mem- ber was under the impressien that one vessel was to be commanded by an officer who held a commis- sion in her Majesty’s navy. He could state, that in consequence of an application from the Texan mi- nister on the subject, that minister had been inform- ed that no officer in her Majesty’s navy would be allowed to serve the Mexican government against Texas. The Texan government had been inform- ed that if hostilities should take piace, it was the intention of the English government to maintain a perfect neutrality. Mr. ‘O'Connell said the treaties with Texas had been laid on the table at so late a period of the ses- sion, that no opportunity had been afforded of bring- ing under the consideration of the house the state in which those treaties left the communication be- tween this country and Texas. There was a law in Texas that no free subject of colorshould remain there longer than a certain time. He would feel it his duty, whenever a convenient opportunity arriv- ed, to call the attention of the house to the sub- ject. . Lord Patmerston said he believed the laws in ‘Texas were precisely the same as the laws in the southern States of the United States. Mr. O’Conneut said it was only in the State of Carolina that the law existed. rd Palmerston said that so far from the Texan government being at our mercy, we were, on the contrary, at their mercy. [Hear.] They had al- ready secured the recognition ot their independence by treaties with the United States of America, with France, and the Netherlands, and the question came to this, whether the commerce between England and Texas should be placed on the same footing as the commerce between Texas and other countries, or whether we should be exposed to disadvantages to which other States were not subject? Mr. C. Buller said that he did not think ‘it would be proper to require of a state to alter its internal laws on entering into a treaty with another country. Mr. Labouchere thought that the house had no business to interfere in such questions as the pre- sent. It wasa pubject for the consideration of the governments of different countries. Mr. Hume said he should consider that it would be most desirable that our government should inter- fere if possible, to prevent the hostilities which had taken place between Mexico and Texas. Those hostilities would necessarily produce Met misery in those States, and would necessarily greatly in- convenience British trade. H S Sir R. Peel said that the, dissensions between those states and South America, had been undoubt- edly attended with the worst eflects. They carried on their hostilities with the bitterest. animosity ; pirates were encouragod to enter into their service ; they destroyed each other’s commerce ; they pre vented the growth of their natusal prosperity. Those events, in addition, interfered with their communi cation with those countries which were the first to recognize their independence. But it was princi- pally on the ground of the fatal consequences to those states themselves that such hostilities were to be, deprecated. Every effort in the power of the British government would be made to contribute to the restoration of tranquility in those countries. Prorocation or Parttament.—The “ Morning Herald” says, ‘‘ The day now named for the proro- gation of Parliament isthe 10th of August. The la- ors of the session will now terminate in three weeks.” Grouse shooting will commence twodays afterwards. Rieut or Seancr.—The following despatch has been addressed by the French Minister of Marine to the Maritime Prefects :—‘‘ By the terms of Art. 9 of the convention ed to May 22nd, 1833, be- tween France England, for the repression of the slave trade, the captains of merchant vessels of both nations, who think they have cause for com- plaint from vexations or abuses of the right of search without seizure, are to make their declara- tion on oath before the competent authorities of the first port of their country which they touch at, or before the consular agent of their nation, should they repair to a foreign port. declaration, in- dicating the damage they lay claim to, is to be veri- by means of examinations on oath of the chief members of the crew, or of passengers, who may have been witnesses of the search, and infotma- tions of the whole are to be drawn up, two copies of which are to be delivered to the captain, who is to forword one to his government in support of his complaint. In case the captain shall be absolutely vented from giving testimony, his declaration can be supplied Oy, at of the owner, or any other person interested. These formalities have hitherto been negleeted by such captains as have had complaints to make against English cruisers, and the maritime and colonial administrations have not taken care either to remind them of the necessity of complying with them, nor haye they conformed to them themselves, not requiring at the time when they send their report, or when they pass the state- ment of landing, the’ necessary declarations and examinations, as they ought to have done each time that they were charged to trans- mit to any department reports in which such complaints alluded to have been mentioned. You will, therefore,be pleased to give orders that, for the future, Art. 9 of the convention of May 23d, 1833, may be punctually ex ed in the ports of your ma- ritime arrond nents. It is, proper also to remind the captains of vessels that, without waiting for their attival ina French or foreign port, they are always to profit by the first opportunity which offers to get their complaints carried to one of the vessels on the French station appointed to protect our commerce in the latitudes whers they may happen to be.” Tne West Invi, Matt, Sreamers.—A memorial to the Admiralty is, we hear, now in course of sig- nature in London, praying that her Majesty’s gov- ernment will vary the contract for the conveyance of the West India mails, so as to reduce ‘the num- | “Upwards of “£20,000 had been insured upon the ber of voyages to one a month, continuing, how- ever, to pay the stipulated amount of the contract to the company—viz: £246,000 a year. This memo- rial has received the signatures of muny leading mercantile establishments. Rumor ascribes to gov- ernment a desire to make use, on the expiration, or earlier termination of their present. contract, of Cu- nard’s line of steam ships from Liverpool to Hali- fax, in the conveyance of the West India mails, and their transmission trom the latter place to the West Indies and Mexico, by a new line of steam ships. Evorement i Hieu Lire.—The following case of clopement has caused no small degree of excite- ment in some of the fashionable circles of society ‘The facts of the affair are briefly at the west end. these -—On Monday morning last, about seven o'clock, a young lady, of great personal attractions, and between eighteen and nineteen years of age, the daughter of a wealthy baronet, residing in Port land street, was suddenly missed trom the mansion, and {it was immediately discovered that she had ta- ken with her the whole of her jewellery, which was of considerable value. Every pomitte inquiry was promptly instituted, with a view of finding out the retreat of the fair fugitive, but no tidings could be gained respecting her, by any of those members of the fiamily whose anxious solicitude for her wel- fare prompted them to be on the alert. The mys- tery, however, was, in the course of a few hours, cleared up by the arrival of the lady, who returne: to her parental roof (which she had so unceremo- aber fled from) in a handsome carriage, and by her side was seated a dashing young Irish gentle man of fortune, to whom she’ had on the same morning been united in bonds indissoluble, at a church not far distant. The “happy couple” alight- ed, and entered the dwelling, when the lady ac- quainted papa with the fuct that she was married, and that she and her husband were about to quit London for the Emerald Isle. Whether a reconci- liation took place between the baronet aud his daughter, we are unable to say with any degree of certainty ; but we believe the “error” has been for- given.—Sun. Cuear versus pear Suaar.—Ata meeting of the merchants and bankers of London, held on Wed- nesday, at the London Tavern, to consider the dis- tress of the country, Mr. Ashworth produced a pound of sugar brought over by a workman from New- York, for which he paid three-pence. He at the same time produced a pound of sugar of similar qua- lity which he had purchased in Liverpool for eight- pence. Exhibiting both, he merely said, ‘Do you understand this ?” ° Marriace or Miss AprLarpg Kempir.—We have been informed that the proclamation of the bands of marriage made in the city churches on Sunday last between Count Sartoris and Miss Adelaide Kemble, was followed up by the marriage of the parties on the following day. The ceremony was performed by the Rey. Mr. Almond of St. Mary’s Episcopal Chapel. Goop Apvics.— About one o’clock, on Saturday morning, Mr. Fielden, the member for Oldham,was addressing the House ef Commons. He had, he said, in his pocket an account of a flannel weaver who had been ruined by machinery. He was then proceeding to read the account; but, being met by a laugh from the house, said, ‘You people who laugh, go home to bed to your wives.” Roars of laughter followed this appeal to the conjugal obliga- tions of honorable members. _ Tur Fasting May.—Bernard Cavanagh, the fast- ing man, who left his native village to speculate on the gullibility of the public—and a profitable specu- lation it was forsome time, until the imposter was detected—returned to his father’s house,near Swin- ford, on Saturday, and, on Sunday made his ap- pearance in the chapel of thattown.

Frient or 300 Carrier Picoxs prom Rima nam ro Antwerr.—An extraordinary and Mitere: ing flight of earnge gents, to decide a match, was witnessed in the neighborhood of Birmingham, on Tuesday, the 12th ultimo. About 300 pigeons, be- longing to merchants and other parties at Antwerp, were forwarded a few days previously to Mr. Muutz, brother of one of the members forthe borough, with arequest that he would see them fairly started at six o’clock on the above morning. is request was a ciprinay comaues with, the whole of the pigeons having been started on their journey almost simultaneously, from Mr. Muntz’s residence at Handsworth, and after making some gyrations in the air, they took an easterly direction, and favored bya fresh breeze, they were out of sight in a few minutes Mr. Muntz has since received intelligence of the safe arriva lofthe whole flock, the first prgeon having reached Antwerp at half-past, nine o'clock the same morning, followed in rapid succession by the others, in fives and tens, the last pigeon reaching its destination at half-past ten.

Musical and Dramatical Chit-Chat. Porutariry or THE Orgns.—At the present mo- ment there is a sort of ce for opera, even in quar- ters where it would hardly be expected. Mr. Willis Jones, at the Surrey Theatre, was bold enough to engage Miss Romer, Harrison, Leffler, Stansbury, We., at very high salaries; his houses have been crowded ever since he commenced. We are told that Miss Romer is paid £50 per week for her ser- vices, and that the other singers, male and female, engaged to support her, are in proportion. Drury Lang Tuearre.—Drury Lane is likely to be opened considerably earlier than the Ist of Octo- ber, the day originally named, in conseqnence of the unusually early commencement at Covent Gar- den. We have heard nothing more of fresh en- gaastienis by Macready, but we are enabled most ecisively to contradict the rumor circulated a week or two since that Mr. and Mrs. C.

Covent Garpen Taeatre.—We mentioned some time since that it was in contemplation to begin the season at Covent Garden early in September. It seems that the day has been now finally settled, and that performances will be commenced there as early asthe 4th of September. This is at least ten days sooner than was projected a fortnight or three weeks since.

Miss A. Kemble appeared, for the last time, July 24th, before an Irish audience, as “Norma.” for the benefit of the manuger, Mr. Calcraft. The house was densely crowded, and the reception of the gift- ed vocalist enthusiastic inthe extreme. At the con- clusion the manager appeared before the curtain,and after expressing his warm sense of gratitude to his supporters, adverted to the arduous dramatic cam- paign that concluded the season. He proceeded to account for the manifest decline of taste for thea- trical exhibitions in Dublin, and, amongst many other causes,assigned asa principal one the la teness of the dinner hour in the fashionable circles. Mr. Calcraft next spoke of Miss Kemble in terms of high and well-merited eulogium, and concluded by an- nouncing that, on the re-opening of the house upon the Sth of September, Signor Mario, Signor La- blache, Signor Fredericke Lablache, Signor Costa, and many other performers of celebrity, would have the honor of appearing before a Dublin audience.

Fashions for August, Boxxxts.—The form of bonnets is much the same, still slightly shading the face; the crowns made round and large; they are composed of light zephyr materials, such as crape, tulle, fancy t ooge and tissue, bordered round the edges with folds of the same, and trimmed with rich plumes of divers colors, shad he interior decorated with light flowers. ‘The bonnets of fancy ganzes, either white, rose or bive, are mostly trimmed with lace or blonde, the crowns being prettily decorated with very light roses, each rose being surrounded and divided by the lace—the interior trimmed to match—we must not, also, forget to mention that the curtains of the bonnets behind are commencing to be worn more shallow Les paille dItalie and alle de riz are still much worn; the former being generally decorated with shaded plumes, and the latter donble with a glace silk, white and pink, and trimmed with a branch of pink and white accacia; some- times, indeed, they are ornamented on the exterior with a beautiful drooping Russian plume, the interior of the brim being shaded with a light blonde, interspersed at the sides with small light roses. We may, also, cite, as being both simple and elegant, a oes of paille d’Italie, trimmed with apale green ribbon, forming a ruche, passing across the front, and descending on each side as far as the ears. Marensacs.—Light stuff are still all the rage amongst our clegantes, as well us those beautifal light silks of dif. fe id stripes; then there are batistes of Surat, laine, tissus bayaderes of every sort, and elicate balso rines, amongst which we have remarked a very pretty fantasie, the ground being of ait pt pb te covered oe hg 4 . convenient distances, and striped with palm leaves, having a v effect. The heavier materials are les moires Ninga Slew moires Pompadour, les Pekins, covered with narrow stripes shaded, intermixed with small flowers of a paler shade, and les toffetas glaces, bearing the pretty names of rose vt ciel and rose et myrtle. Eventwa Dresses.—Nothing is so much worn, at the present moment, as white for evening dresses; we see it everywhere; at the theatre, at balls, at concerts, white is everywhere visible, the favorite material being mousey line or tarlatan; the form of the corsage round, an oa vierge; plain sleeves demi-longues, and mostly cover: st 2d, Rubin with the cordinel or lace crispin, forming the sole orna- ment to the dress.

The treaty of commerce between Belgium and France has been concluded. Belgian linen and thread are to be still admitted into France on the existing duties, but British articles of that kind are not to be imported into Polini aikcerr on payment of the duties set torth in the French Tariff. Bel- gium isto reduce the duties on French wines one- third. The Navigation Act is moreover to be altered so as fe give to French salt the advantage on that pro- duced or manufactured in England. The official Moniteur publishes the royal ordi- nance forextending to the 18th of August the delay allowed by the ordinance of the 26th ult., for the operation of the new duties on linen threads and |i- nens, as regards Belgium. The Presse states that by the treaty the Belgian ‘overnment consents to reduce the customs’ duty on French wines in cask from 2f. per hectolitre to 50c., and on those in bottle trom 12f to 2f. The excise duty 1s to be reduced from 32f. per hectolitre to 24f. 75c. per hectolitre. 8 ‘The Commerce states the number of opposition members returned to the new Chamber of Deputies to be 221. The chamber cosBists of 459 members. The King opened the session on Tuesday, the 26th ult., with the following speech :— “GenTLEMEN, Peers, anp Deputies :—Under the grief which oppresses me, deprived of that dearly beloved son whom I considered destined to replace me on the throne, and who was the glory and sup- ort of my old age, 1 have deemed it imperative to hasten the moment of your assembling around me. We have together a great duty to fulfil. When it shall please God to call me to himself, it is peceasa- ry that France and the constitutional monarchy be secured against being for a moment exposed to an interruption of the royal authority. You will, therefore, have to deliberate upon the measures re- quisite for preventing, during the minority of my beloved grandson, this immense danger. “The calamity that has befallen me does not render me ungrateful to Divine Providence, which still preserves to me my children, worthy of all my tenderness and of the confidence of France. “Gentlemen, let us now secure the re| and safety of our country. Ata later period I shall call upon you to resume your accustemed labors rela- tive to state affairs.” The carne is the address of the Chamber of Peers to Louis Philippe, in reply to the speech from the throne :— hey ‘Sire,—The Chamber comes to unite its griefs with that of a King, with the despair of a mother and venerated Queen, and with the mourning of a nation. A great misfortune has fallen upon us. ‘That prince whom your care and your example had formed for the glory and happiness of France, to whom situations so difficult and circumstances so diverse had given the education of experience—who grew up in respect for the Jaws and in love of his country—whose valor on the field of battle our sol- diers were proud of, and whose wisdom when he took part in our councils we acknowledged—this prince has been torn from us so suddenly that we can scarcely believe that he whom we loved to see by the side of kis father is there no more. cere grief admits not of consolation, it is a duty for us to say what ought to sustain the courage and constancy which have neyer abandoned the King in the most severe trials of his life; it is a duty for us to pro- claim what ought to maintain the nation in its se- curity, even when it is profoundly affected and af- flicted. Yes, sire, this grief which unites all classes and all opinions in one sentiment is undoubtedly a sad, but it is alsoa powertul, proof of the attach- ment which France has conceived for the dynasty which she has called to the throne, and which she has entrusted the preserva- tion of her liberties and her honor. Yes, sire, in this public calamity it cannot be doubt- ed that we all love the monarchy that we have founded; it is placed above the storms and discus- sions inseparable from the political existence of a free people, Itis the fixed point to which our rights and our affections are aitached It has now become indispensable to fill up a chasm in our institutions. Our confidence in the future has been betrayed. Providence has been severe towards us; but we should be ungrateful if we forget how frequently it has preserved us. It will prolong for Haven the life of your Majesty. God still protects France, to which you are so necessary; the royal child, whose birth was a gource of public joy, will grow under your eyes; he will gather the lessons of your wis- dom. “Your sons, those sons of France, those faith- ful and devoted servants of the State, will con- stantly set him the example of love of the country, and of the fulfilment of duty. His mother, that princess who shared our love and confidence with the husband for whom she for too few years was the cause of happiness, will devote her life in rear- wee King of our children for the future welfare of France. And the whole nation, surrounding him with its love and its hopes, will prove to him that 1t isa noble task to reign by the laws over a great and powerfulempire.” And the following is the answer of the King to that address:— , i “‘Meseieurs les Paris—I am much affected by this address. I find in it the expression of those senti- ments with which my own heart is penetrated, and anew plecige for that anion of all the powers of the state on which is founded security for the present, and a guarantee for the future against the dangers to which they might have been exposed from the cruel blow has fallen upon me.” ‘ Most of the members of the Chamber had joined the grand deputation charged with the presentation of the address. All the pam had crape on their arms and on the hilts of their swords. A decided breach is established between the ex- treme and centre gauche, and the party really hos- tile to the presentcabinet is left without guide or direction. i It appears now certain that the Conservatives again mean to elect M. Sauzet to the premidency of the Chamber; after which the Regency Bill will be presented and passed, and the session, convoked for that special aspombe pon ed to November. The Chamber of Peers has unanimously voted an address of condolence to the King. The first part of the funeral ceremony of the Duke of Orleans—namely, the removal of the body from Neuilly to the Cathedral of Notre Dame, took place on Saturday. The greater part of the garrison and national guards were under arms, and it might be be said that the whole of the population of Paris had collected on the road to see the procession. The Gazette de France was condemned, on Friday last, for a libel against the Crown, in articles writ- ten on the occasion of the death of the Duke of Or- leans, to a fine of 24,000f. and an imprisonment for two years of M Paul Aubrey, the responsible edi- tor. This sentence is generally considered to be one of uncalled-for severity. - " The election of Ri. La Roche Jaquelin was con- firmed on Friday by the Chamber of Deputies. M. Duchatel, on the part of the Minister, denied that any government assistance had been given to the royalist candidate. i The King has issued two royal ordinances—one authorising the Minister of Finance to advance a sum of 400,000f. to defray the expenses of the Prince Royal's funeral; and a second authorising the same minister to pay to the Duchess of Orleans the sum of 139,166f. bc., ing the amount fixed by the law of the 7th of May, 1837, as a dowry in case she should survive her husband, the Duke of Orleans.
