THE NEW YORK HERALD. Vol. IX.—No, 229.—Whole No. 3441, ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN. ONE DAY LATER. Further Riots in Wales---Movements in Spal ‘State of the Markets. The steamship Great Western, Capt. Hosken, arrived this morning, after a boisterous passage of fifteen and a half days. The whole voyage yards down ard topmasts struck. The last week experi- enced very thick weather. The G. W. brings 121 cabin passengers and a full freight. We are indebted to Charles Willmer, of the “ Transatlantic Newspaper Office,” Liverpool, for the London Times of the 5th inst. James Gordon Bennett, Esq. of the New York Herald, with his lady and child, passed through Liv- erpool on the Sth instant, on their way to I reland. The packet ship Montezuma, which left New York on the 19th ult., reached the Mersey on the 4th at 8 o’clock. The weather had improved, and the great corn market at Wakefield was not acted upon by the late heavy rains to the extent that we anticipated. No serious injury has yet been done to the crops, and if the remainder of the month should exhibit a fair portion of warmth and sunshine, all may yet be well. Butti “.me is critical—suflie*-atly 60 to ex- .te apprehension. Nothing in the way of news had transpired since tie departure of the Hibernia. Seville, Spain, con- tinued to be bombarded on the 25th ult., showing great resolution, but suffering great disasters. Sur- ragossa had sent in its adhesion to the Government at Madrid. The Junta of Burgos had arrested General Seoane, on his passage through that place. Madrid continued trarquil. Nothing of importance from Ireland. The Lords of the Treasury had issued a minute, which had been received at Dublin, and a copy forwarded to every person holding office under Government, threatening with immediate dismissal every indi- vidual who connects himself in any way, however remote, with the agitation for the repeal of the Union. The repealers will, of course, regard this asa mere brutum fulmen, and laugh at it accord- ingly. Rergat.—O’Connell has invited Sharman Craw- ford and the best of Ireland’s landlords to become members of the Repeal Association. He says, in his letter, “that the relations between landlord and tennant cannot possibly be suffered to remain as they are. There must be an end put to the whole- sale massacres of the clearance system. There must be an end pat to the retaliatory associations of agents, landlords, and in-ceming tenants. The stain of blood must be effaced by obliterating its causes, and that can be done only by an arrange- ment consented to, and concurred in, by the best class of landlords, and rendered sufficiently protec- tive of the occupying tenants, Nothing can be more absurd than to accuse the repealers of a desire for feparation or for revolutionary violence. What we want is to preserve and improve the social state— not to injure it. What we desire is to consolidate the connection with England upon a popular basis —not to sever it.” . The Dublin Pilot eaye that the repeal “ demon- stration,” fixed to take place on the “ Hill of Tara,” this month, will, far and away, exceed all others in magnitude and general importance. The Augsburg Gazette mentions a report that the King of the French is not opposed to the idea of marrying the young Queen of Spain to an Italian Bourbon, and that negociations on the subject have been opened with the Court of Lucca. It is stated in the Universal Gazette that every Prussian who may cross the Russian or Polish fron- tier without being provided with a regular passport, will be sent to Siberia if he be a civilian, and lodg- ed in a fortress if he belong to the army. Tus New Yorx Packet Sutrs—Since the de- atch of yesterday’s publication by the Steam Ship ibernia, we have the arrival of three Packer ships from New York—the Virginia, Captain Allen; the Montezuma, Captain Lowber; and the Hottin- guer, Captain Bursley. The captain. mate, and crew of the Drusilla, from Boston toSt. Domingo, which was destroyed by fire on the 6th July arrived at Liverpool in the Sheffield, by which they had been takea from the Cape whale ship Harry. House or Lorns, Friday, August 4.—The Lord bene hod took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The Commissions for taking Affidavits in Scot- land and Ireland Bill went through committee; to be reported on Monday. On the motion ot the Earl of Dalhousie the Excise Bill was read a second time and was ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The Earl of Ropen presented two petitions from the county of Down in favor of agrant tothe Church Edueation Society; a petition from the Protestant inhabitants of Westport against the national system of education in Ireland; petitions from places in the counties ot Westmeath and Antrim against any further grant to the College ot Maynooth; and a petition to the high sheriff, grand jurors, clergy, and gentry of Kilkenny, against the repeal of the legis- lative union. The earl said he would take this op- portunity of giving notice of intention to present a petition trom a very large class of the Protestant inhabitants of the ceunty of Down, respecting the act of Parliament relating to processions in Ireland. He had intended to present the petition in question on Monday next, but as he understood there would be some business before the house on that day, he would submit it to their lordships on Tuesday. The Slave Trade (Avstria) Bill, the Slave Trade (Mexican Republic) Bill, the Slave Trade (Chili) Bill, the Slave Trade (Portugal) Bill, and the Stamps Biil were severailv read a second time. ‘Tue Iron Trapr.—The depstation of iron mas- ters from South Stattordshire hed an interview with Sir RK. Peel, Mr. Goulburn, Sir J. Graham, and Mr. Gladstone, at the Home office, on Wednesday last. The business was opened by James Foster, Esq , chairman of the deputation, who stated that the ob- jectof the deputation was in nv way connected with any intention of soliciting support from the government by way of cuniary assistanee, to ena- ble them to continue their works in operation, but to discuss the practicability of the application ot any measures by which the internal trade of the country generally could be improved, end the popu lation maintained in a more healthy state of em- ployment. The progressive reductions in the prices of iron, the rate of weges, and the state of pauper- ism, as exhibited in the enormous increase of the poor rates in the unions comprised in this district, were stated in extensive detail by other members of the deputation, and the operation of the American and the various continental tariffs was adduced, as acting most prejudicially on the iron trade ot this country. It was explained, that a strong unpression prevailed that the great falling off in the exportation of commodities to the United States, resulting from the restrictions of the late American tarifl, was mainly attributable to the continued exclusion American corn, by the operation of the late ad, ment under our own tarifl, and which a mode fixed duty would be calculated to remove. In con- formity with this view, Mr. Thornley stated the re- eult of bis impressions on a recent visit to the Uni- ted States, and the improbability of any treaty be- ing negotiated without some modification of our corn laws on this point. ‘ Su Robert Peel stated, that he should most wil lingly give his best attention to any remedies that might suggest themselves to the minds of the depu- tation, but that he feared the production of iron had been forced by the requirements for railroads and other causes so much beyond the ordinury demand that, now that these sources of consumption had been supplied, he could hold out no prospect of im- mediate Tas cover trom any measures within the power of the government ‘he members of the deputation stated tnat they were nearly unanimous in the conviction that tne depression under which their trade was suflering,® Il as that which was affecting most ther branch. of productive indus- try, was attri. able to the great falling off in the < demand, occasioned by the vicious operation of our | the township o! Pendleton, near Manchester, which preseat money laws, and the consequent want of a euliicient cireul —————SE— adequate to the discharge of the fixed public and private burdens, which formso large a proportion of the cost productron in this conotry, that without some change of these Jaws there was, in their opinion, but little hope of any improvement in the condition of the working classes, which would gradually approximate to that of the same classesin Ireland. S.r Robert Peel expressed his dissent from these conclusions, and, after thanking the deputa- tion for the temperate and judicious manner in which they had stated their views on the important objects which had engaged their atrention, the conference terminated. Britisu Trape with America.—It appears, from a return just laid before Parliamant, on the motion cf Mr. ‘Vhornely, that the exports of British gcods to the United States of America, in the year 1842, were lees in value by the sum of nearly twelve hundred thoasand pounds than they were in any previous year since 1833, and that they were less by more than one-half than the average annual exports of the nine preceding years; the average yearly ex- ports from 1838 to 1841 (20th y’rs inclusive) being of the value of £7,890.000, while those of 1842 were not more value than £3,52°,°07. This alarming decline in the largest branch of the foreign trade of the country, we regret to say, is not confined to a few, or even to severalarticles, but extends to all, with the single exception of tin and tinned plates. It appears, however, that notwithstanding this falling off in the delared value of the goods, there has been an increase in the number of ships and amount of tonnege employed between the two countries since 1833; American shipping having increased trom 229,869 to 319,524 tons, and British from 114,200 so 195,745 tons. ‘The following abstract shows the to- tal declared value of exports during the five years: 4 1938 109910 rit 1 Cotton manufac: € £ £ £ £ tures, including cot- ton yarn, 17 439 1515,933 497,276 Woollen, do, 28 1919925 892"335 Linen 17 1 17 463,64 Sik do 59 306,797 81,213 Hardwaites and cut- lery, 661,704 819,610 331,065 581,100 298,881 Tron and steel, 634,299 801,198 355,531 626,032 391,854 The Canada Corn Act will come into operation on the 10th of October next, and from that date the duty levied upon all wheat and flour, the produce ot the province of Canada, imported from thence into the United Kingdom, will be one shilling per quarter on wheat; and upon every 196ibs of flour, a duty equal to that upon every 384 gallons ef wheat. A parliamentary return just published, shows that the sums paid, or to be paid, on accouat of the war with China, amount to £2,579,873, of which sum £804,964 are required to be voted in 1843 44, as ba- lance due to the East India Company. State or THE Minine Districts —It is with great bai Bor that we have to notice a state of depression in other branches of trade immediately connected with mining operations, in addition to that felt by the ironmasters, and those empioyed by them. It now appears, that the copper smelters of South Wales, have not for months past, been in a much more en- viable position than those whose capital is embark- edin the iron trade; they have been very conside- rable losers, though by keeping in their furnaces, they have continued to give employment to the population around them; as, however, a much bet- ter state of things cannot be expected at once, they have at length been compelled to propose a reduc- tion of wages of 12+ per cent, or, in the event of this proposal not being agreed to, the only alternative would be the closing of some of the furnaces. The workmen in the employ of Messrs. Vivian, Messrs. Williams & Co., and Mr. Benson, have agreed to the reduction, and though, in some of the neigh- boring districts, considerable numbers hold out, it is hoped the knowledge that even the largest capi- tals must in the end sink under continual loss, and that it 1s not cupidity, but sheer necessity, which has suggested the reduction, will induce the men to agree to the terms proposed.—Mining Journal. ‘Tonacco Jmports.—The quantity of tobacco im- ported from the United States during the past year, are given in returns just presented tothe House of Commons, amounted to 38,618,012 Ibs. being a de- crease of several thousand pounds as compared with the praceding year. Hor Duty.—At, the annual hop dinner at the Queen’s Head, Maidstone, last week, several bets were made in favor of £149,000, but the average betting was much under that amount. Some heavy sporting bets were made. against naming the duty within £1,000, and which, with one exception, went considerably beneath £140,000. ‘Toe Weatuer anv THE Crops —We have had frequent—we may say almost continuous—and heavy showers of rain in the neighborhood since Monday, aad the temperature, with the exception of Thursday at noon, comparatively low. The cern crops look well in field, but the ear does not seem to be filled or properly ripening, and the harvest must be late even if plentiful. Potatoes and turnips for the best part are failures, but in some instances promising. The hay crops are generally very fair. In Cheshire and the poncralsy they are a full ave- rage, butall are not housed or even cut. The corn crops are with slight exceptions good. There ap- pears to be aconsiderable breadth sown. In some cases, well-founded complaint is made of the light- ness of the ear, particularly in wheat, but it does not prevail to any great extent, or on landsina high state cf cultivation. The potatoe crops are good ; thougi: in some places the seed failed. Turnips are deficient in the breadth sown, and in many cases have suffered fromthe fly and the wire worm. In the southern counties the farmers are preparing to commence reaping about tne 15th, should the wea- ther continue fine. The rain that has fallen very heavy in seme parts has laid the corn, but should the sun shine forth it will much efleet the crops, which appear to be in a satistactory condition, and promise abundance. The accounts from the hop districts are rather unfavorable. From Glasgow to Helens- burgh the late rains have greatly improved the ap- pearance of the crops, particularly the potatoes, which have come away and are covering the ground, indicating a fait crop. The harvest will be at least a fortnight to three weeks later than last season. In the Highlands the potatoes and crops look remark- ably well. he ‘* Derry Standard” says, that iu that neigh- borhood the crops are just now in a very critical situation. Wheat, which generally promised an abundant crep, is beginning to be seriously injured. Oats, which in general would have been a short Me but for the late rains, is in many places lodged; and flax, except where the crop is bad, is com- pletely prostrated. Potatoes, in many parts appear well, but are making too much to top. They are not expected to be an average crop. We have been favored with the following extract of a letter, dated Limerick, 31st July, 1843 :—** Du- riog the latter part of last week and yesterday, we had occasional showers of rain here with high wind. The weather to-day 1s very fine, with wind from the north. Up to this time we have not had more rain than is necessary for the oat and potatoe crops. _Wheatis filling weil,and in no way injured. It is said that a few fields hereabouts will be cut this week, but reaping cannot be general for ten days era little more. Much now will depend on the next four weeks’ weather. Oats are looking well, with a large head, and the late rains have served the poor lands. (The appearance of the crops is all that could be desired, and with fine weather there will be a great harvest.” Serious Accipent to I’, O’Connor.—On Tuesday night Mr. O'Connor was addressing the Chartists at Frome, Somersetshire, in alarge wareroom, when, without a moment’s notice, the dense mass at each side were precipated into the underneath floor, mixed together in one common heapin the centre, with the broken beams and flooring over some ana under others. Not abit of the floorremained stand- ing, the whole having given way from the wall on either side. The crash of the large centre beam was terrrible, but was soon lost in the piteous groans and moans of the-sufferers. A fine young woman, named Mary Gabbie, had her leg broken; while many received severe contusions, sprains and frac- tures, Feargus O'Connor received a very serious wound on the right leg and hip, the leg being cut along the calf from under the knee as far as the ankle bone inside, and-much bruised outside. Mr. Roberts, who stood near the window, aud upon a spot that rernaimed almost the last, had a very nar- row escape of being precipitated from the window to the road in his endeavor to avoid the gencral crash.—Northern Star. , Tur Vacant Garter.—The names of eeveral dis- tinguished noblemen have been circulated at the clubs for the Garter at the disposal of the Premier, by the death of the Duke of Dorset, but we have reason to believe the honor has not been awarded to any personage. This isthe sixth Garter that has been in the gift of Sir Robert Peel since he came into office “namely «those held by the Earl of West- moreland, Marquis Wellesley, Marquis of Hertford, Duke of Dorset, Duke ot Norfolk, and Duke of Cleveland. An influx of water, involving the destruction of property to the value of fifty thousand pounds, and the total deprivation of employment to several hun- dreds of workpeople, took place on Tuesday even- ing, at the colliery of Mr. J. Fitzgerald, situate in NEW YORK, TUESDAY M Fatusr Matuew 1x Lonpon.—The apostle of tem- perance commenced his London mission at ten o’clock on Monday imorning last, on the new Catholic burying ground in the Commereial read. Atnoon, when there were about 30,000 persons pre- sent, Earl Stanhope arrived,and was loudly cheered. After shaking hands with Father Mathew, his Lord- ship addressed the multitude for nearly an hour, and said he had been a teetotaller for many years, and invited his hearers to follow his example. He de- clared his intention of publicly taking the pledge from Father Mathew, and warmly eulogized the Rev. gentleman for his useful and patriotic exer- tions in Ireland. and expressed a fervent hope that bis mission to England would be attended with similar results. Father Mathew then called upon those who were anxious to come forward and take the meses with Earl Stanhope to doso. A semi-circle was formed, and three hundred men and women knelt down and received the pledge. Earl Stanhope, who labored under considerable agita- tion, was directly afterwards embraced by Fa‘her Mathew, who, inthe enthusiasm of the moment, kiesed his cheek. The Noble Earl smiled, and grasped Father Mathew’s hand, exclaiming, * God bless you, sir.” The administration of the pledge was continued until dark, when Father Mathew lett the ground, after announcing that he would attend every day during the week for the same purpose. Aboui 3000 persons took the pledge. The consump- tion of beer and spirituous liquors on the ground by anti-teetotalers is said to have been immense. Lavuncu or tHe Great Brian. —This vessel was launched at Bristol, on the 19.h ult. Suitable pre- parations were made at the railway station for the reception of Prince Albert. A special train leftthe Paddington terminus at seven, and reached Bath at nine, where the mayor and corporation were in at- tendance, to present an address to his Royal High- ness. The train then preceeded onwards to Bris tol, and arrived at the station at ten. The mayor, corporation and town clerk, and deputation trom the Society of Merchant Venturers, and from the clergy, were in waiting, and had the gratification of presenting the addresses which had been prepared. These his Royal Highness was pleased to accept, and acknowledge in a very appropriate manner. Having arrived at the works of the Great Wes- tern Steamship Company, his Royal Highness was received by the directors, and was conducted to the room prepared for his use. His Royal Highness then proceeded to inspect the stupendous vessel, with which he expressed his admiration; atter which his Royal Highness proceeded to the ban- queting room, on the premises of the company, which was elegantly and tastefully decorated for the occasion, About 520 sat down to the banquet, and the usnal loyal toasts were proposed,and thanks duly retarned by his Royal Highness and the other distinguished guests, amongst whom were the Prus- sian and American Ambassadors, Lord Wharn- clifle, the Marquis of Exeter, Earl of Lincoln, Lord G, Somerset, Sir E. Codrington, the Hon. E. Berk- ley, and P. W. S. Miles, Esq , M. V.’s for the city, the Hon. Grantley Berkeley, &c. Nuring the banquet the weather again became un- favorable, but as the time for floating the ship out approached it cleared up, aud at half past-three the Great Britain was floated out of her dock, amidst a acclamations of hundreds of thousands of peo- ple. Tue Navication or THe MAGELLAN SrRarrs—We have been favored with a letter {rom a naval officer belonging to one of her Majesty’s vessels in South America on this subject, from which we extract the following: ‘The Chillians are endeavoring to es- tablish steam-tugs for towing vessels through the Straits of Magellan. I do not think the plan will answer, as great power would be required to move vessels insafety, the winds being very violent and uncertain. The more feasible plan would be to es- tablish acolony at port Fumina, and have a village of pilots at each end of the Straits, viz. at Profession Bay, on the coast of Port Kefuge, on the west, or perhaps even better than this would be to establish the town at Port Retuge, which has every requisite fora colony. The pilots going fromthence might remain at Profession Bay until they brought a ves- sel from the Eastward. To England these Straits would, in a few years, prove of great value as a de- pot for stores, &c, which are now carried to Chili at an immense expense of coals, for the steam navi- gation of the Pacific might be Jeft with advantage. A valuable timber trade might also be carried on.— All that is wanting is the transporting a coloay there fromthe Falkland Islands. The passage of the Straits is generally considered a very difficult one, probably {rom reading accounts of the old navigators, some of whom were enabled to get through ; but with a well-found ship it might be easily done in from three to four days, and at a much less cost of wear and tear than in doubling the Cape, and certainly with infinitely less danger to the safety of the vessel. The time taken in beating against the heavy southwest winds to the southward of the Horn is well known to all who have naviga- ted these seas. The Falkland Isles cannot be made by a vessel going to the west coast of Americafrom any part of the eastward without a great sacrifice of time and labor, They are the dwelling pecs of storms, which, from their fury, destroy all vegeta- tion, and render the coast, despite thejmany harbors, n difficult of access. The idea entertained by some of supplying peat to steamers navigating the South Pacific isabsurd. The Jabor of cutting and prepa- ring it, with any population the Falkland Isles are likely to have, is out of the question ; and even were peat a good substitute for coal, the expense of shipping it would be immense, with ever so turge a population.”—Plym. ‘Times. Sinevtar Discovery at Winpsor Castix.— Amongst ihe various necessary additions which have just been made to the royal residence, and completed on Weanesday, previously to the arrival of the court, may be mentioned an extensive cold larder, for the preservation of game, &c., which has been constructed underneath the north terrace, with acommunication to the interior of the cast le, m the immediate vicinity of the kitchen. —!n making an opening on the north terrace, after digging through about three feetof earth, a mass of brick- work presented itself of nearly two feet in thick- ness. U;en this being penetrated, the opening was found to lead te an arched subterranean vault of 2Lfeet in height, 20 teet long, and 11 feet wide, constructed of most beautifully finished pointed brickwork, in apparently, as fresh a state as when first erected. In proceeding to the eastward, along the under portion of the north terrace, six more arched chambers, communicating with each other by means of low arched openings, were dis- covered, constructed of the same materials, and in the same highly fini-hed manner. There were like- wise the same number of chambers, of the like cha- racter and onstruction, leading to the eastward to- wards the Winchester tower. It has been ascer- tained that these works were constructed in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, at the period of the erec- tion of this part of the North-terrace by the maiden Queen, now above 200 years ago, and that they have remained clesed eversince. Upon descending into this subterranean vault, or rathervaults, a most extraordinary scene presented itself. The arched roof in many places was thickly studded with innu- merable stalactites, and many of them of the extra- ordinary length of upwards of threefeet. The sides of the vaults were also covered with beautiful spe- cimens of the stalagmites, several of which have been carefully preserved as great curiosities by those who were permitted the opportunity ot visiting this curious cavern. The opening from the crown of the arch has now been bricked up, and the vaults will probably remain closed for another couple of centuries The herring fishery has commenced on the coast of Northumberland and Berwickshire, and at this early season, the oldest fisherman does not remem ber so Jarge a shoal of fish upon the coast. Wales, Canmantiten, Wednesday Night, the 2d inst — The county magistrates to-day held a meeting at the Town Hall for the purpose of swearing in special con- stables to act in the several parishes in the neigh- borhood. 245 persons had summonseseent them to atiend and beewornin. Out of this number 8 ap- peared, and of these 6 refused to take the oath, and only two (') were sworn as epecial constables. The magistrates gave notice, that should those sum- moned continue to neglect to attend, and refuse to be sworn in, the penaity of £5 would be enforced oneach; anda further day was appointed for this purpose. Those who retused to take the oath suid they did so because they were afraid of Rebecca, who hadgiven them warning the night before no’ to be sworn in, or their houses would be pulled down if they were. Some said they would willingly take the outh if the Government would guarantee to them that their property and lives should be safe. With astrange want of judgment, those sworn in were charged a 3s fee for it by the magistrates’ clerk. Swansea, Aug. 4, 7 o’elock, A. M.-No sooner were the parties whose examination was sent you in my lust report committed, than the Kebeccaites, as if to show the wantooness of their power, and their utter contempt of the very large military and police force assembled at this place, actually des- troyed three gates, and broke in the doors and win- dows of a toll-house.

Itis said that the Communes on the other side of the frontier are to be made jointly responsible for the pains and penalties whieh individuals belonging to them Hine have incurred by defrauding the Cus- toms, which measure, it is supposed, will tend to SOnALAT ASE smuggling.—Hamburgh Papers, August . Bertay, July 22 —The death of Prince Augustus is the sole subject of conversation in allthe circles of the capital. He was the eldest Prince of the royal family, a general experienced in many, fields of battle, the chief of all the artilery, which is con- sidered asa model in Europe and the East, presi- dent of a committee composed of the most learn- ed and experienced generals for examining all mat- ters relative to military service, and one of the greatest, perhaps the richest, of all landowners in that kingdom His life was therefore most ac- tive, and intimately connected with the most im- portant interests ot the State. A Cabinet order, is- sued yesterday by the King, fully recognises the merits of the deceased Prince. ‘The offivers of the army are to go into mourning for 14 days, by wear- ing a black crape on their arms. Riots ar Hampura.—Certain proceedings were recently instituted against Major Neimitz,at Lubeck on account of a letter addressed by him to the Se- nate, in which he severely censured the military ad- ministration, and proposed measures by which qoa- siderable savings might be eflected. This writing, it seems, was expressed in very unbecoming term: and the major was first suspended, and then con- demned to amonth’s arrest. The populace took his part, assembled tumultuously, and proceeded to the jouses of several persons obnoxious to them, and broke their windows. The military were called in and dispersed the mob, but several were wounded. These riotous proceedings were repeated on three successive evenings, notwithstanding the proclama- tions and energetic measures of the Senate. The military, however,succeeded in dispersing the mob, but many persons were wounded, anda great num- berarrested. Some officers were severely hurt by stones thrown by the mob. _Fatan Duen in Betcivm.—The Liege journals give an account of a duel which took place a few lays back in that town, and the result of which has caused great sensation in consequence of the severi- ty of the laws in Belgium against duelling. An offi- cer named Kant, in garrison there, was coming out of his quarters with a comrade, whena M. Dutilleux met him, and inquired “why he looked at him so insolently?” M. Kant replied that “so far from looking at him insolently, he had not even observed him.” The other raising his voice, and seeming de- termined to insult him, more words ensued, which endedin a challenge. M. Kant, asthe insulted par- ty, having claimed the choice of weapons, the sword was decided on. They met near the town, and atter a few passes M, Kant having stretched out his arm, his adversary, in rushing in, came right on it, and was transfixed through the right lung. He ded on the instant. A criminal prosecution has been instituted against M. Kant. Grocrarnicat Discovery.—Some time since a very important memoir was forwarded by Captain Harris (then on a mission to Shwa, in Abyssinia) to the Bombay government, relating to a magnificent river, said to disembogue itself about two degrees north of the line on the east coast of Africa. Lately au intelligent young officer of the Indian navy (Mr. Christopher) was despatched by Captain Tints from Aiden, for the purpose of surveying that part of the coast. He has discovered a river to the north- ward of the river Jub, which he entered and traced 130 miles fr: m its mouth; as he advanced he found it increased in width and depth, which, from the Teport of the natives, whom be found to be civil and obliging, it continued to do for 400 miles higher up. The breadth was from 200 to 300 feet; a clear meendering stream, with the banks in a high state of cultivation, atid grain of all kinde plentiful aud very cheap. It was named by Mr. Christopher the Haines River, after the able superintendent of Aden. —Colonial Gazette. the corone! nel Davi teman, in addition to paying all the expenses incur: red by Mr. Miles, the landlord of the Camden Arms, on behalf of Colonel Faweett, has presented Mr. Miles and his wife with a valuable diamond ring each,in token of the kindness and humanity dis- | played by them on the admission of Colonel Faw- | cett on the morning of the duel, and up to the peri- od of his death. | The Bengal Hurkaru says that the Acrsam Tea Company propose to send to England samples of the | indigenous and cultivated tea of Assam inaraw | state.

According to the programme, funeral services were performedon Friday in all the churches in Paris, forthe repose of the souls of the victims. of July. Allihe civil and military authorities, with detachments of national guards, and large congre- gations of the people attended. In the afternoon, large bodies of the national guards, the students of the schools. and of the people in general, went in procession tothe column of July, and deposited crowns of immorte:les at its base. The utmost order and propriety were observed throughout the day. A | mob collected onthe Place de la Bastile on Friday, | but were content with singing the ‘Marseillaise Hymn” at the foot of the July Column. Their Majesties and the Royal Family arnved oo Saturday evening at Neuilly, from the Chateau le Bizy. The Tidethentre inthe Passage de l’Opera, ad- joining to the Academie Royal de Musique, took fire on Sunday and was consumed. Considerable alarm prevailed in Paris respecting the reported Turkish expedition against Tunis, and two ships of the line and a steamer sailed from Tou- lon for that destination on the 26th. ‘The weather throughout France during last week wa: on the whole cold and stormy. On Saturday evening and on Sunday much rain fell in Paris — The crops throughout the country were most pro- mising, but required suushine and heat to bring them to maturity.

ANECDOTE OF ONE OF THE Swett Mon.—lit fre- quently happens that the individuals who have to perform the necessary and sometimes exciting duty of tracing out the minute history of grave delin- quencies, tall upon little incidents and traits of cha- racter that are nota little amusing. A curious an- ecdote, somewhat illustrative of the manners and mode of life among the more highly initiaied in the art of irregular appropriation, has transpired in the course of the inquiry in the case of Anderson, now pending before the magistrates of thistown. One of the most celebrated associates of the gang ot adepts with which Anderson has beea_ connect- ed, is known by the designation of “ Dashing Jemmy Grant,” and a very showy smart fellow he is, it all accounts may be credited. The head quar- ters of Dashing Jemmy are in London, but he occa- sionally, when business requires, takes an airing in the provinces. Lately, whcnin Liverpool, he went to the Adelphi, and ordered dinner. ‘The waiter pro- duced the bill of fare, in which were set forth that goodly choice of substantials and delicacies, for which the excellent hotel alluded to is so famous. Dashing Jemmy was expected to point out the vi ands of which he intended to partake; but, alas! varied as were hfs accomplishments, reading and writing formed no portion of his acquirements, but ashe did not lack a most gentlemanly appearance, he, without hesitation, pointed out two dishes, which he desired to be served up. The waiter stared, and asked him if he preferred those to the other dishes named in the billof fare. Dashing Jemmy, believing that he had ordered something very rare and expensive, and as he had entered the hotel with the determination of. as he termed it, ** cutting a swell,” said it was a dinner he was much accustomed to. The waiter took his order as in duty bound, and Jemmy waited impatiently for the dainties of which he was to partake. In due time the dinner was dished, but what was Jemmy’s as- tonishment when the covers were removed to find that he was supplied with pudding and cabbage !— Gore’s Advertiser. Lonervity.—Old Sergeant Reid, who was infthe ranks at the battle of Bunker’s Hill, and an actor in many other deeds of arms, still survives, although in the 108th year of his age; but he is no longer able to sit at the door, basking himself in the sun, and crooning or lilting songs he learned at youth, or at mess table, when he had become a tall, athletic, powerful man. A short time ago he was struck with paralysis, which deprived him of the power of looomotion. When visited lately, we found him fast asleep; his breathing unimpeded, his chest broad and deep, and his arms brawny and muscular as ever.—Dumfrics poper.

Oa the 22d instant they sing at Exeter, Mr. Robert Clarke, who has been vo long and so honorably connected with the Theatre Royal of this town, has taken a pleasant villa at Knightsbridge, near London, where he and his respected and ta- lented lady will probably spend the remainder of heir days in retirement. Mr. Clarke has realized a andsome competency. We hope he may enjoy it. |, The new theatre in Cleveland street, Wolver- hampton, has been taken by Mr. Stirling, of the Adelphi, London, for ove month. On Monday night the theatre opened under the patronage of Lord Wrottesley. The company is an excellent one, Mr Marray, the manager of the Edinburgh thea- tre, has been, lor some time past, in treaty with the proprietors of the Theatre Royal in this town. It is very prebable that Mr. Murray willbecome the fu- ture lessee of this house, once the finest dramatic property in the kingdom. Balle’s new opera, “ Le Puits d’Amour,” has been accepted by the manager of the Princess’s Theatre, where it is to be forthwith brought out.

Nothing new had occurred at Barcelona down to the 30th ult. . We have received by the same express Madrid journals and correspondence of the 27th ult.,on which day it was believed that the Cortes would be convoked tor the Istof October. The appointment of the Duke of Baylen to the guardianship of the Queen, was held to show that the provisional Go- vernment would not take upon iteelf the responsi- bility of proclaiming Her Majesty of age before the time fixed by the constitution. The Duke of Saragossa had been named Captain-Commander of the Halberdiers. The “state of siege,” in which the province of Madrid was declared on the 9th, was raised by a decree of the 26th. The Heraldo staves thatthe Ministry would probably be modified for the purpose of completing it. Lopez would in that case assume the direction of the Foreign De- partment; M. price that of Justice, and M. Madoz wuuld succeed the latterin the Mimstry of Finance. The brigade of General Bayona, consisting of four battalions of infantry, several squadrons of cavalry, and some artillery, entered Madrid on the 26th. General O'Donnell had arrived at Madrid, and was to be appointed Captain-General of the Island ot Cuba, vice General Valdez. On his passage through Valladolid, {O’Donnell ipresented himself before the junta of Old Castile, and declared that the enemies of the union and liberation of the country could alone attribute to him and his companions in exile ideas of reaction, vengeance, or even of poli tical predominance ; that he had come to join his ence, and the conciliatory programme of the Lopez Ministry. Our Paris letter of Thursday states, that a feeling of indignation against Exspartero was becoming general in consequence ot his violent proceedings at_ Seville. It was admitted thatto possess himself of that city at any price might have entered into his original plan ot operations, but that to pursue it now was only gratuitous and unnecessary cruelty. ‘The French government was about to recognize the new government of Spain,a formal notification that it had been installed having reached Paris, and it was said the British government was equally and similarly pre- pared. The new government has published a ma- nifesto, in which it claims to be ‘legally consti- tuted,” and ‘deriving its power and legality from the insurrectionary junta or Government of Barce- lona” (and which was fora long while personified in General Serrano), “which has been recog- nised by all the provinces,” and ‘‘from the universal acclamations with which the Lopez Ministry had been cailed upon to take office:” This state logic will pass for what it is worth. and mentions in song t of parties connected withthe household who had already taken out their pasports for Bayonne.

All the troops of the line were out, and the junta freely di d of its batailions of volunteers. Even General Castro, the military com- mander. refrained from exercising his functions. On the 23th fresh negotiations were opened by the junta with the Governor of Montjnich for the sur- render of the fort. The latter replied that he would await orders, and that in no case would he deliver up the fort to any but regular troops, and that before entering into any terms he would previously de- spatch two of his officers to Madrid to take the orders of the new Government. The junta was pro- ceeding with the demolition of the ramparts on the land side, at which 800 workmen were daily em- ployed. It was also its intention to level Fort Mountjuich with the ground.

We learn by them thatto avoid tbe importu- | nities of the British resident, who urged the com- etion of the negociations at Erzeroum the Shah of Persia had suddenly left Tehran—a step attributa- ble, no doubt, to the counsels of the Russian minis- ter atthe Persian court. Rumors have again reach- ed Constantinople, by the way of Persia, suggesting the belief that Colonal Stoddart and Captain Con- nolly have not fallen victims to the fate whieh it is generally supposed had betallen them; but these suggestions were not sufficiently enforced by facts to warrant implicit reliance on the statement. The news from Curcassia contains nothing‘of novelty. The report of the British merchants as to the effect ot the commercial treaty of 1838, between England and Turkey has not been given in. @trom a Constantinople corres; ondent, dated the 17th July, we learn that Russia had formally protest- ed against the late election in Servia; the Sultan, however, seemed determined to adhere to his deci- sion, and was making preparations accordingly. Markets. xx1—The English Stocks have not undergone much alteration since our last publication ; in- vestments to a considerable extent have been made by the public, and no new feature of any importance has pre- sented itself. The recent intelligence by the Overland Mail has had no effect upon the market. The premium upon Exchequer Bills is lower and Consols have receded slightly of late, the sales of an influential broker havin, affected pricesslightly; in other respects we have little alteration to notice in British funds. In anticipation of a large importation of grain from abroad, the Forel; Exchanges have declined ; they will probably remain without improvement tor some time, but from the dant supply of bullion in the Bank of England, the ations of the corn market will have little effect upon the pricesof Stocks. On the receipt of advices stating that an art ice had been co between Texas and Mexico, the bonds of the latter country immediately ad- vanced nearly 2 per cent ; they are, however, now rather flat at the quotations. Columbian have improved, a8 also have Brazilian, though it is by no means improbable that the new Government of Spain will retuse to recognise the arrangements of the late Minister of Finance ; ish stock continues on the rise, 12 per cent. being consid- ered a suiliciently high dividend to warrant the risk. Faivay Niont, August 4.—The weather and the state of the crops are topics anxiously commented upon at pre- sent; the general impression is that prices of corn will advance, and inthat anticipation many orders have bern sent to D: and other continental ports, as before sta- ted; however, the valueof British stocks is not likely to be inuch affected by the probable imports.
