FRANCE AND MOROCCO. Arrival of the Overland Mail. AFFAIRS IN RUSSIA. THE FRENCH IN TAHITA. RIOT & MURDER IN CHINA. ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE Kives OF PRUSSIA AND GREECE. Attempted Revolution in Spain, Markets, &c. &c. The Acadia arrived at Boston on Sunday, at half-past 2 o’clock, P. M. . The news was brought from Boston by E. T. Bridge, Eeq. Special Post Office Agent, by express, over the Norwich and Long [sland Railroads. This special express left Boston at 6 o’clock Sunday eve- ning, and reached this city at 64 yesterday morning It was detained one-hour at Worcester by being thrown off the track, and two hours at Greenport. The actual running time of thia express was eight hours—distance 238 miles! And the average speed over the rail roade,two hundred and sx mites in length, was forty-one miles an hour, beirg the greatest speed for any distance, ever uttsined over any rail-road in the world. All the mails and passengers were brought on by this conveyance, and we cannot thank Mr. Bridge and Nathaniel Greene, Esq , Post Master of Bos- ton, too much for their kindness and attention Our advices from London and Liverpool are to the 5th inst.—Sunday. The Great Western arrived out on the 3d_ inst. The Britannia arrived out on Sunday the 27th ult, The Acadia when a short time out {rom Liver- pool, met with a slight accident which detained her nine hours to repair. The Acadia passed the Caledonia on the 17th inst., half way on her passage to Halifax. She left Boston on 6th. The Acadia is now under the command of Capt. ‘Wm. Harrison, formerly first officer of the steamer Britannia, in which station he proved so efficient that the Company have selected him for the pre- sent important trust. The passengers by the Acadia were so much pleased with Captain Harrison, that they intend to present him with a splendid service of plate. Ex-Governor Davis of Massachusetts came pas- senger in the Acadia. The English papers are filled with accounts of the Philadelphia and Mormon riots. No material change in cotton. The demand on the 2d instant was steadier. Nothing hew about O’Connell. The eccouchment of the Queen had not taken place. The Parliamentary proceedings for the last fort- night have been entirely unimportant. ‘The Overland Mail brought no news of impcr- tance. An attempt had been made to assassinate the king of Greece. The disturbances among the operatives in the factories at Prague have ceased, and quiet is re- stored. The Paris Journal des Debats contains a long article, explaining the differences existing between Spain and Morocco, and between France and the same power, and giving a briet history of events, in order to induce the people to assent to the jus- tice of the measure about being adopted by the go- vernment. La Presse, in its correspondence from Toulon, says that Abd-el-Kader had received from the son of the Emperor of Morocco a supply of 6000 Eng- lish muskets, with instructions tor Artillery ser- vice, printed in Arabic and English. From this, ot course, the Paris journals argue that the British government is giving assistance to the enemies of France. ‘The Lyons papers say that several persons have been arrested, charged with a Fieschi plot against the authorities of that place. Several grenades were found in their possession, with which, it is said, they intended by a single discharge to destroy the general in command, the mayor, and the pre- fect, when coming out of the church of St. John, after the solemn mass of the Ist of May. Accounts from Bologna stote that a “ third sen- tence has been pronounced by the cuurt-martial upon more of the persons compromised by the po litical events of this province n 1843.” WThe Zurich Gazette of the 19th ult., announces, that the disturbances which commenced at Schafl- hausen on the 15th ult., in consequence of the as serted arrival of M. Hurter, who became a convert to Catholicity at Rome, were renewed onthe 16th. Letters from Constantinople state, that the inun- dation which recently occurred at Adana, was even more destructive than at first represented. More than 1200 lives were lost, and the property destroyed is valued at tem millions of piastres. A letter from Lubec states that despatches are hereafter to be exchanged between the courts of London and St. Petersburgh once a week, instead of once a fortnight, as heretofore. Some of the Liverpool people are in ecstacies with American ice, a cargo of which recently arri- ved there from Boston. We are glad to find that our English friends begin to acknowledge that one good thing at least can come out of America. The dragoons who were committed for trial by the Exeter magistrates, on a charge of turbulence and riot, and of assaulting the police officers in the execution of their duty, have all been acquitted. The trials for incendiarism in Suffolk, commen- ced at Ipswich, on the 24th ult. Ann Manning was found guilty of setting fire toa cottage in which she lived. A coal mine at the Beaufort Iron Worksat Aber- gavenny, recently ignited, and is now on fire to the extent of three miles. Many serious accidents have already been the consequence. An iron steamer, built at Paris, intended to vigate the Weser, passed through Namur a days ago. On account of its exce: length it was necessary to pass it through the sluices on the Sambre in two pieces, which were joined together at Namur. There has been a very large importation of new potatoes this season from Holland, one salesman alone in Spitalfields Market having received as many as 2108 baskets during the past month. It ia reported that Govern: i H the whole extent ot the channel ooast of Eeiend’ . Lady John Russell, who has been alarmingly ill, is convalescent. It is contemplated to erect a monument in Glas- pa Yy J author of the ‘ Plea- Exauisn Opinion or American Riots —The scenes which have taken place in Pennsylvania and Illinois would have degrees a nation ot sava- ges. We question whether even amongst the aboriginal natives of the continent of America, dis- tinguished as they have been for wild and_pitl ferocity, and utter disregard of human suffering, any record can be found of deeds more sanguinary than the riots et Philadelphia, or the massacre of the Mormon leader and his brother, in the prison at Carthage. For the particulars of these events, so shocking te humanity, so disgraceful to Amer- ica, and so discouraging to the friends of democra- tic institutions, we must refer to our compendium. —tiverpool Mercury, Aug. 2. Tue Quren’s Accovciment.—Phe Queen has been domesticated at Windsor Castle of late, ta- ki ly rides in her peny phwton with Prince Al ind walking in the pleasure grounds of the castle when the weather permitted. The Duchess of Kent has been most assiduous in her attendance on the Queen, and has dined at the castle almost daily. The srenmests selected for the accouch- ment of her Majesty at Windsor Castle are in the Augusta Tower, situated between the Victoria Tower (in which are the suite of rooms appropria- ted for the nursery of the infant royal fenelly and the York Tower, and commands a beautit' pect to the southward, extending Walk, Windsor Forest, and the Great Park, an bounded by the richly wooded scenery of the Sur- pp hills. “This apartment, alse, is in every respect admirably situated and fapted for the purpose for which it has been selected. Dr. Locock, Dr. Ferguson, Sir James Clarke, and Mrs. Lilly, are all lodged in the Castle and its precincts. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, arrived at Woolwien, in the Black Eagle, steamer, from the continent, on Thursday, July 25. The Duchess of Kent has returned to England from the Continent. The Duke of Devonshire haa arrived at Lismore Castle, county Waterford, after an absence of se- veral years. The object of the visit is to make a considerable reduction in his Giace’s rents. We understand that Sir William Drummond Stewart, who recently returned from a second ex- cursion to the Rocky Mountains, is expected to ar- rive immediately at Murthly Castle. Angivat or GenreaL anp Lavy Sate.—General Sule, the hero of Jellalabad, and his heroic lady with their widowed daughter, Mra. Sturt, an child, arrived at Lyme Regis, on the 22d ult. They lett for London, on Tuesday morning, amid the cheers of a great number ef persons who assem- bled. to witness their departue. Tue King or Saxony.—His Majesty has visited Oban, Staffa, Iona, Inverne: unkeld, and on Tuesday was to be at ‘Taymouth Castle. His tour has been accomplished in the most unostentatious manner, although the most marked attentions have been paid tothe Saxon monarch, who seems to have left a good impression of the simplicity of his manners and tastes.—Scottish rdian, Tue King or France’s Vistr ‘to Enauanp.—A Toulon letter states that the vessels which are to proceed to Cherbourg, in order to escort the King to England, will be Ocean, commanded by Admiral Parseval,and the Inflexible, by Captain Graeb. - A grand review of the whole of the house- hold troops,including several cavalry regiments and regiments of the line, is contemplated to take place in Windsor Great By , before the King of the French, in the early part of next month. Prince Albert, who will take the command of his own regiment, the Scots Fusilier Guards, now in garri- son at Windsor, has met it several times, during the past fortnight, on the exercising ground in Windsor Great Park, where his Royal Highness has been practising, giving the word of command, and putting the regiment through various evolu- tions, so as to be pertectly qualified to take the command of this excellently disciplined corps at the review next month, Prince Frederic William Louis of Pruesia, broth- er of the King, and hetr-apparent to the Prussian throne, is expected on a visit to Queen Victoria in the beginning of August. ‘The result of De: Wolff's mission to Bokhara is stated by the Malta Times, on the authority of a letter from Colonel Sheil: Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conally were ublicly executed in June, 1842 Dr. Wolff was to set out on bis return to Europe at the latter end of May. It was feared, however, that Wolff would fall a victim. One of her Majesty’s steam ships on the Mediter- ranean stations is to proceed immediately to Alex- andria, to embark Lord Ellenborough and convey his lordehip thence to Malta and Marseilles. The following pensions on the civil list were ranted last year:—Mrs. Bell, widow of Sir C. Bell, 100; Miss Anne Drummond, sister of E. Drum- Brown, Evy, botanist, 2200; Lady Sale’ £500; and rown, f nist, ; Lady dale, £500; Sir W: it.

The Times announces that by a treaty just con- cluded with Hanover, a moderate and uniform ta- riff has been substituted for the arbitrary and op- pressive Staadt dues. It is stated that the Austrian government is about to reduce the duty on cotton twist a penny a pound. The Economist calculates the total extra cost of corn and sugar from the lst of January to Saturday last, 1n consequence of the monopolies, at £10,- _ The value of ex in 1843, was £5,013,504; the East indiesand Ceylon, £6,404,549; the Maurits, £258,014; China, £1,456,180; Brinet Korth America, £1,7 1; Cuba, £624, 871; Mex- ico and South America, exclusive of the Brazile, , 286, Chas. Wilmer’s News Letter, Aug 3 In the southern counties of Europe, the wheat crops have been, for the most }, secured in good order. The trade in wheat, from these causes, is at present dull, with declining prices. There are uponthe German railroads 296 locomo- tivea, of which 195 were manufactured in England, 57 in Germany, 16 in Belgium, and 29in America. Amxzican H, -A quantity of about ten tons of pros- over the Lon rts to the British West Indies 441; to the United States, fine American hay, brought from the neighborhood ar- of New York, by the Patrick Henry, which rived on Tuesday, was offered for sal di the Waterloo Dock Quay, by John D: on the part of the consignees, Chapm: and Co, The novelty of the sale attracted a good many persons. The entire quantity was divided into ten lots, each lot containing ten trusses. The first bid was 91. per stone, beyond which there were no ‘offers, and the whole was withdrawn. The reserved bid was 1s, This is the first instance of American hay beiug offered to English consu- melas fae i far as this Le span is concerned, it does not appear to promise others.—Liverpool Mercury, Aug. 2. . Prospects or Taz Guano Trapg.—As guano is likely to come into general use as an available and profitable manure, an idea may be formed of the quantity ultimately required. There are, tor in- stance, in England and Wales, 25,000,000 acres of land under cultivation, and almost 16,000,000 in Ireland and Scotland. Supposing, however, that guano be applied ultimately, to only one-twelfth of this quantity, what a trade would thus be created ! Taking it fer granted that an acre will require about two hundred weight and a half, 600,000 tons anu- ally would be required ; while the import of this quantity would employ some 1200 vessels of 500 tons burthen each.—Ztverpool Journal ‘Wreck or tur Missouri —A letter from Gibral- tar Bay states, that the operations against the wreck of the American steam frigate Missouri are goin, on well, and that it was expected that she ‘sould be afloat in two or three weeks from 21st July.— The work was a most arduous one, operations hav- ing to be conducted under a burning sun, with the thermometer at 125, and in the shade varying frem 95 to 110. Launcn or THe Camarta.—On the Ist of August, at 2 o’clock, a handsome +teamer, tor the British & North fetish | a ral Lal birined aes mpanys was launched from the building yard o' Robert le & Co., of Glasgow. This “splendid vessel is 220 feet long, and 36 feet broad, and mea- sures, according to the ‘Wew system, 1,423 tons. She is named the Cambria, and is to be comma: ed by Capt. Judkins, formerly of the Hibernia, The model of this large steam ship is very fine, and she is an substantial assheis beautiful. The figure: head 18 @ very finished piece of work. It represents a Welsh girl with a ate her hand. The vessel is to be fitted up b: fapier. We have no doubt that the Cambria, both as respects speed in her voy- ages and comfort in her accommodations, will in- crease still more the just celebrity ofthe builders who were eugaged to furnish this excellent line of pack- ets, whose punctualityghas been such as to reflect the highest credit on all concerned in their con- and management. Barris Pantiament.—On Thursday, July 26, the Earl of Aberdeen laid upon the table a cory of the latest instructions sent out to the naval offi- cers engaged in the suppressiog of the slave trade, and entered into various detatte to show that the trade had diminished of late. Much, he said, had been done, but England alone could pot Bat it down. From the year 1768 down to the number of persons torn from Africa fluctuated from ninety to one hundred thousand; from 1830 to 1835 the number fell to an average of 58,000 ; but in the four following years, from 1835 to 1340, the average rose 10 90,000 But, in the three last years, 1841, 1842, and 1843, notwithstanding the Teproaches cast upon the present Government for remissuess in this matter, the average had fallen to 25,000. Spain and Brazil were the only countries that now benefitiby that trade. for Portugal had shown every disposition to fulfil the treaties. He had no hesitation in saying that, if Spain and Bra- zil faithfully and honestly executed their treaties with t's country, the slave trade would be at an end; and he could assure the House that no efforts would be spared to entorce those treaties, to which Engiand had as undoubted a right as to the posses- sion of a ceded province or town. There was also much encouragement in the fact that the most cordial understanding prevailed between her Ma- jesty’s squadron off the coast of Africa, and the leet of the Uuited States, France also had lately shown a disposition to co-operate more earnestly than heretotore. The prospects of success were, therefore, much improved. He had always been of opinion that an imperfect watching of the coasts ot Africa and America was an injudicious em- ployment of our torce. We knew trom what part the slaves must come and whither they must carried. (Hear, hear.) On that accouut the forces had been increased ut these two parts A suffi- cient force would be kept up on the coast of Brazil tosecure any slaver that might escape the vigi- lance of the cruisers on the coast of Africa. The Earl of Minfo, Lord Colchester, the Earl of Clarendon, and Lord Brougham, «xpressed their approval of the proceedings of Government. Extensive Exeeriments.—The experiment of Capt. Warner, on a vessel called the John O’Gaunt, off Brighton, which he sank by an invisi- ble agency, the secret of which he 1s anxious to sell to the government, has created more than or- dinary interest. As a mere “sight,” the sudden and unaccoun‘able destruction of the ship, in the presence of some forty thousand spectators, was at once novel and theatrical. The wood-cut illustra- tions of the scene represent the vessel in the differ- ent positions of being towed by a steamer to her destruction; then the explosion, and finally the settling down ;” all of whieh have a pictorial et- fect sufficiently striking. The subject has been al- luded'to in the House of Commons. The debate relative to Captain Warner’s remu- neration, elicited from Sir Robert Peel, Sir How- ard Douglas, Sir Charles Napier, and other mem- bers, opinions very unfavorable to the precceatnity of the invention. The Premier, in a long. speech, threw ‘cold water” on the project. Captain War- ner has the alternative of selling the secret of his “invisible shell” and his *‘ long range” to any other power ; and having failed, it is said, in coming tu an arrangement with the King of Russia, he would be glud, no doubt, to negotiate with Mr Tyler, My. wate or whoever may be the next President, for the purchase of his secret, on terms more favorable than he demanded from Sir Robert Peel—namely, £400,000. , Porutar HeautH.—The mean term of life dimin- ighes northwards in Great Britain. The highest is in the south-western counties, in the following or- der: Sussex 55, Hants 53, Dorset 55, Devon 56, Cornwall 55; the decrement. in the last case is caused by the sli lives of the miners. The a mean of 86, the lowest county of Lancaster pool rates at 26, Human ‘county, in which | life in Devon is on average, theretore, 20 years longer than in Lay r, and 30 longer than in Liverpool. Russian Goip.— Tlic Aurora, Russian’ frigate, at Gravesend, brought on account of the Nussian gov- ¢rameut, bar gold to the amount, it is said, of £600,000 ratty, ‘the whole of this gold is the produce of the Oural mountains and it is rather finer than the standard. A portion of it will be ap- plied, it is thought, to.be manufactured in this country, a project which augurs well for our iron works. The produce of the Oural mountains for the present year is estimated at about £4,000,000 sterling. Osirvary.—On the 27th ult. at his residence in Manchester, the distinguished philosopher and phi- lanthropist, Dr. Daltou, who had been for more than half a century an active and invaluable member of the Lite! and Philosophical Society of that town. Dr. Dalton had been president of this socie- ty since 1817. He was born at Eaglesfield, near Cockermouth, in Cumberland, on the 5th of Gaps tember, 1766, of respectable parents, and gave early indications of mathematical ability. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1821 or 322, and was also a member of the Royal Society ot Edinburgh and of several foreign colleges. In 1826, he was preseated with a gold medal by the Royal Society as the individual: most eminent for his scientific discoveries; and a sum of £2,000, was raised, in 1833, for the erection of a stutue to perpetuate his remembrance, and the task was en- trusted to Sir Francis Chantrey, who brought to the execution of his subject a warm admiration of the man,and a proportionate desire to do him justice. The statue when completed was deposited in the entrance hail of the Royal Manchester Institution On the 18th July, Hyman Hurwitz, Eeq., Professor of Hebsew at University College, London. He was held in the highest estimation for his great know- ledge of biblical literature. On Thursday be week, at Keith Hall, Aberdeen, the Earl of Kin- The eause of his lordship’s death is stated to been an injury received while hunting many years ago, and which, though partially cured, had left effects from which he never altogetner_reco- vered. On Sunday morning, John Haslam, M. D., at his house in Lamb’s Conduit street, in the 8Ist year of his age. The doctor, as is well known, was ptinguitied for the cure and alleviation of diseases of the mind, and has left behind him many valuabie works upon this melancholy subject. On Briday last, at his residence at Bath, Mujor Gene- ral Edward Scott, at the advanced age ot 82 years The Earl of Mountnorris died at Gai, oops on Thursday last. The title is extinct. ‘The estates devolve on A. L. Macleod, Esq , son of Gen. Mac- feod and Lady Annabella Annesley. On the 3ist ult., Anne Amelia, Dowager Countess of Leicester, wife of the Right Hon. t dward Ellice, M. P. for Coventry. . Her Jadyship’s death resulted from her confinement, having on the 10th inst. given birth to a son, who survived only a few hours. Scotland. Tue Rev. Mr. Dowpnsy 1x Scot.anp.—A few days ago, as we find the fact stated in an Edin- burgh papers two sermons were delivered in the Episcopal Church ot St. John, at Greenock, by the Rev. John Dowdney, A. M., Rector of Saint James's, New York. The Rev. gentleman wound up his conclading discourse in these words:— “It was with peculiar satisfaction and pleasure, breth- ren, that I accepted the invitation of my respected er, the minister ot this chapel, to assist to day in ita solemn services. “Aaa priest of the Catholic Church in America, ! can- not but be deeply anxious for your and welfare, for it » as in d that our Seabu: dear to every Churchman—was consecrated his holy office. You well know, that, after the Revolution, the eat task sn 9 i eng - shores, ey ro" jency of for Propagating the Gospel in Forage ‘arts, was almost prostrate, and that eecery and mombers were dispersed Your Bishops, with all the sympathy and affection that they could feel, came forward, and invested with the apostolic office one who, by his soundness in the faith—his devotion and his unwearied zeal, did perhaps more than any other person toward laying that solid foundation upon which we aro now building with such triumohant success. Dr. Seabu- ry, our first bishop, was consecrated at Aberdeen A. D. 1784, nearly three yore before the consecration of Dr. White at Lamberth Palace, by the Archbishop of Canter. bury. Since hisconsecration there have been 40 others set apart to the same office, 22 of whom are now alive. These, with more than 1, clergy, and a fe ar brew 46°43 1 eformed Catholic in the United States—a Church which exerts a powerful influence upon the and welfare of our ba jer principles, drawn irom the consentient voice of Holy Scripture and Catholic tradition, and em- bodied in her pure formalories, are taking deep root, and she is drawing to her fold the thoughtful and the serious even from the various sects around her. Nor is it possi- ble jay, jadging from past, how glorious will be hercareer. Toward our si communion in Scotland weallcherish the most ardent affection. Our circum. stanees are the same. Unfettered by = civil Hepislation we can assert our own rights and exhibit to world those principles which have been the solace and strength of fathers and con! and martyrs in every age of the a el that my heart is ure while serving at your Prem Hd o T can scarcely express. Nobiy has the Church contended in every period of her his- tory for those Catholic truths which we are endeavoring to carry out. On no other arm but Christ’s can we lean. large Church Weare thrown upon principles alone, and our success must prove that they are such as our divine head Na sanct ere and bless. Mien | dependence and is in a strict adherence to traths ; and in faithfal allegiance to our holy mother the Church, may we be kept from all discord and achism—from even the al to disunion ; and oe ee rend the of Christ, by di to her constituted a , and to those wholesome laws to which we have promised entire conformity, be convinced of their error. Allow nt say how sincerely | long “4 jor your weifare, and to express in the name of the Bishops and of the c! of the dio. cese of New York, the Christian love which we shall ever bear towards the ‘ Scottish Episcopal Church’” | , So great, even at this day, is the ignorance exist- ing in England with reference to the past history and present condition of the Retormed Catholic Church of Scotland, that we dare say many persons here never heard at all of the interesting circum- stance related by Mr. Dowdney, and the few who are aware that it ook place have probably only a very general impression of the subject. _ We have the particulars of the event so affect- ingly alluded to by the Rev. Mr. Dowdney, in his recent sermon at Greenock, and our principal ov- lene doing so has been to place before the Eng- ish public the obligations which the great cause of Catholic Christianity owes te the Episcopal Church of Scotland. That Church, exposed tor ages to the virulence of persecution, and then driven into obscurity by the relentless operation of penal stat- utes, has nevertheless preserved its apostolie suc- cession, its apostolical doctrine, and, we may truly add, its apostolical poverty ;—and has, moreover, been the means, under Divine Providence, of cre- ating a branch of the Church Catholic, numbering at this moment twenty-two prelates and twelve hundred clergy, in a country where, but for that Church, there would be no sanctuary from secta- rianism and infidelity. In usefulness so extensive as this it has perhaps never been permitted to any other Church to co-operate—certainly to none re- duced by violence to the powerless condition in which, at the period to which we refer, the Epis- copal Chureh of Scotland was placed. This body, however, has always been distinguished for ** con- stangy inthe good cause ;” and the sume noble pe! city in ag Selgeee carried it through ats long and fiery trials, bas, under the ceaseless >u perintendence of its exemplary Bishops and Cler- gy, not only enabled it to secure its existence, but within the last few yeare, to double the numbers of its people — London Fost, Aug. 3. _ ContarButions From America.—The collection in the United States in aid of the Free Church of Scotland has terminated, and the sum realized amoun's to nearly forty thousand dollars, which would have been greatly increased had the reverend members of the deputation consented to accept of indiscriminate subscriptions. This there was an objection to in many of the slave raising states of the south, which will account for a much larger sum not being at the disposal of the Edinburgh committees.—£ dinburgh paper. Ireland. _ New Lorp Ligurenant-—Lord Heytesbury ar- rived at Kingstown, in H, M. steamer Merlin, Capt. Keane, about seven o’clock on Friday morning last. His Lordship was receiwed, on landing, by Lord Donoughmore, and the Right Honorable F. Shaw, two of the Priv; Council, accompanied by the Solicitor-General, Colonel Howes, the Dean of ry, and several aids-de-camp and members of the household. A censiderable crowd had assem- bled,-as also the Lord Mayor, the High Shenff, and other municipal officers. A procession was then formed. There were marks of disapprobation at various points along the route from Westland-row to the castle, but when the procession reaclied Cork-hill, a loud groan was given, and on inquirin, among the dissentients, we learned that this mar! of disapprobation was distinctly proclaimed to be for the gele benefit of Mr. Shaw. The Right Hon- orablevand learned gentleman was then aeked, in a loud voice, what he had done with the jury fists? The marty asking the question, forgettul of the Re- corde®s titles and dignity, familiarly called him “Pred.” Some inquisitive persons ascertained that Lord Donoughmore materially assisted in at- tracting these marks of disapprobation towards the Vice-regal carriage, so inaugpiciously occupied. The usual ceremonies were atterwerds gone through, and their termination was signified by the discharge of a rocket, followed by a salute of twenty-one guns. The Orangemen sre quite out of sorts, anticipating, how just! [Cation te) be seen, that his Lordship's advent is the harbinger of fur- ther concessions to the great bulk of the people. At a Rotundo meeting the day before, the Rev. Trash Gregg held forth in the following terms:— tae Heytesbury was just about to arrive, to- m w was appointed tor his entree, and how woalg he comet Not as the Viceroy of a Protest- ant Goverament, but as appointed to carry out the policy of Sir R. Peel—a policy quite as bad as that of Karl Grey or Lord Melbourne. In fact, Lord Normanby deserved just as much of Protestant support as Lord Heytesbury.” _ Rurgat Association —The usual weekly meet- ing took place on the 20th ult., Captain Broderick filled the chair. Mr. O'Brien handed in £200 frem the Kepealers of Halitax, Nova Scotia, also £54 103 3d from his own constituents. _Mr. Gordon withdrew his motion that the question of repeal ehould be brought before the present Pariiament.— He would bring the subject more fully before the association on the next day of meeting. Sir V. Blake, M: P., handed in the resignation of the edi tor of the Galway Vindi That gentleman t ‘indicator. had resigned at the request of the association—who were anxious that no member of the press should be connected with that body, in consequence of the doctrines put forward on the State trials. Mr. Mc- Nevin rose to bring under the notice of the associ- ation the estimates for the current year. He com- mented on its various items, and argued that it fur- nished new arguments for a repeal of the Union.— Mr. 8. O’Brien, M. P., handed in various sume of money. Mr. O'Farrell handed in £24 16s from Dungannon. He also stated that the repeal cause wus progressing in the north, and in proof of his assertion he said, that to a Protestant anti-repeal petition there were only three Presbyterian gi tures affixed. The Rev. Mr. Hearn, from Man- chester, handed in £61 2s from that town. The rent for the week would be about £1,600. The Rev. T. Tierney, one of the traversers in the late trial, presided at the Mein! meeting of this body on the 29th ult. Amongst the contribu- tions handed in was one of £24 trom Liverpool, 3 W,S. O'Brien, M P., read aletter ; klow, in answer to one from his Lord- ship, to the effect that Irish members of Parlia- ment could better serve their country in Parlia- ment than in the Conciliation hall. This was re- spectfully denied in the reply. Daniel O’Connell, jan , made his usual weekly return from the prison, aod announced that his father and fellow martyrs were in the very best health and spirits. The Hon. entleman then read the opinions of his father on ifferent{topics. A.B. Molloy (barrister) brought forward the report of the committee of the Catholic Bequests Bill, and then proceeded, at some length, to point out the injurious tendencies of the mea- sure. Smith O’Brien moved a resolution to the effect that each repeal reading room in Ireland be supplied with a copy of the fas ppl of Tuam’s (Dr. M‘Hale) different translations in the Irieh lan- guage.

The municipal protest against the trial and im- prisonment of Mr. O'Connell, has now received the signatures of 450 members of the various corpora- tions in Ireland. Irish State Trials. In the House of Lords, on the 19th ultimo., the Lord Chancellor rose to complain upon a subject relating personally to himself. He should not have thought of troubling their Lordships upon the mat ter, if it had not been connected with a proceeding which had taken place in their lordships’ house.— He alluded to the arguments in the case of the writ of error which was pending in the case of the Queen v, O'Connell and others., Now in the course of those arguments he (the Lord Chancellor) had said to Mr. Hill, with reference to the jury lists, that the fact was admitted, and that it was clear from the record that the there had been a fraudulent list —that the book had been made ap from the list, and the panel from the jury book. Upon this an article had appeared in the Morning Chronicle containing the misrepresentation of which he complained ; he did not think it was a wilful misrepresentation, but ‘was anxious to 8u) that it arose from misappre- hension. (Hear, hear.) He wished, however, to explain that when he used the words attributed to him, he did not mean to say that there parent was'a traudulent list, but that ithad been admitted, for the sake of argument, that it was so. He wae informed, however, that the [rish papers had copied the misrepresentation, and printed it in large char- acters, setting forth that the Lord Chancellor of England had declared that the defendants had been tried upon a fraudulent jury list, . iy ax em 94 en gh in the ex- Lord Campbell took occasion | ay that ever the matter came before their lordships’ house, he should be prepared to contend that the Attorney General of Ireland had acted very improperly in go- ingie trial with such a jury book. _ The Lord Chancellor said he expressed no opin- ion upon that point. In the House of Commons on the same day, Mr. T. Duncombe said that as the opinion of the Judges had not yet been delivered respecting the late Irish State Trials of Mr. O’Connell, he would peunone until another supply day, the question for an addrees to her Majesty, praying her Majesty to release the prigoners. 5 ‘ é Sir R. Peel said he understood the Chief Justice had arranged the questions, and supplied the Judges therewith ; but he could not state any thing on the subject of the answer.

The Parliament will not, however, be then prorogued; but the session will be continued by adjournment to the 25:h of August. The purpose of this arrang ment is to afford time for receiving the reports of the judges, and making up the judgment of the House of Lords n pon the writ of error brought by Mr. O'Connell and his fellow prisoners.— Morning Herald.

There hasbeen more fighting between the French and the Moors; in which the latter were again the aggressors, and were again beaten off. It appears from the despatches of Marshal Bugeaud to the Prince de Joinville that the Moors pitched their camp on the let July within two cannon shot of the French camp at Oned Isly, and assumed a threat ening attitude. The next morning some light in- faaiey. of the Moors fired on the advanced posts of the French. On the Seraieg of the 3d, the Mar- me ee in order of battle, prepared to resiet cavalry. The? Moors followed, but without making any attack; and the Marshal, conceiving it would have a bad moral effect were he to permit himself to be pursued, determined to tuke the offensive The undisciplined cavalry of the Moors were quickly repulsed, and the French horse pursued them be- yond Ouchda. The Moorish infantry kept too far off to take part in the engagement, and retreated as the French advanced. i's The casualties are not stated; the affair is spoken of as having had “little or no material results;” but the Marshal says it secures a considerable moral advantage. Several chiefs from the provinces of Oran were on a visit in the French camp; and their report of the affair in the interior, it was hoped, would have goodetfect. The Moorish force enga- fed ted of 4,000 horsemen and 3,000 regu- ars. |-Kader is said to have been in the ac- tion. A telegraphic domestic, dated from the bivouac of Sidi Zaer, the 16th ult., announces that Marshal Bugeaud, having been provoked by a fresh att omthe partof the Moors, had completely defeated them, and pursued them suring three days march beyond Ouchda. He returned on the 15th to the camp of Lalla Maghrania. All the tribes are offer- ing to submit, even those who ure situate on the territery, of Morocco. 2 The Toulonnais of the 21st announces in a post- script, that the Labrador steam frigate brought des- patches from Oran of the 17th, stating that Marshal jugeaud, incensed at theattack of the 3d, had en- tered the territory of Morocco, which he was lay- ing waste in every direction. The celebration of the fourteenth anniversary of the “Three days of July” began on Saturday, July 27, with religious ceremonies, and closed on Monday with fetes. There was no pol: 1 un- easiness. The fetes were of unusual rilliancy the weather was propitious; and everything would have off well, but for an accident which happened in the Place Louis Quinze, just efter the fireworks, from{the enormous pressure of the crowd. About a dozen people were trodden under foo: one of whom was killed on the spot, and severa a were carried severely wounded to the hos- pital ey The prizes awarded to the exhibiters in the ex- ition of national industry were distributed «n Monday, at the Tuileries, by the King in perscn. The number of prizes awarded was six hundred; one hundred gold medals, two hundred silver n-e- dals, and three hundred bronze medals. Some of the most meritorious and distinguished exhibiters were made chevaliers of the Legion of Honor. The ceremony lasted five hours, during the whole of which time his Majesty continued standing. He afterward entertained two hundred of the exhi- biters at dinner in the great gallery of the Louvre. Admiral Hamelin, who is to succeed M.

Tho ey ey a cory of a communication made by the Duke de Bordeaux to the Sovereigns ot Europe on the deoth ot the Duke d’Angouleme: “Having become, by the death of the Count de Maine (the Duke d’Angouleme), head of the House of Bourbon, I consider it asa duty to protes: against the change which has been introduced in France in the | imate order of succession to the Crown, end declare that | never will re- nounce the rights which, according to the ancient laws of Vrance, I hold from my birth. ‘These rights are con- nected with serious duties, which, with the Grace ot God, I shall falfil. I will not, however, exercise those rights antil Providence shall, in its corviction, call me to be truly useful to france. Until that period my intention ia, duri the exile in which I am forced to live, to as- sume only the title of the Count de Chambord. It was that which J adopted in | France.

These horrible schemes have: however, been deteated by the zeal and activit of our military and political authorities, and the admi- rable fidelity of the troops.

It appeara nearly certain from all accounts, that the Exaliados had an idea of making some mani- They had made overtures to the ser- jeante of some of the regiments, and given them money; but after they got into possession of the secret, and received the bribe, those men, faithful to their duty, communicated the affair to their of- ficers, and thus prevented the contemplated out- break.

He was shot in the back on the preceding day. His execution had exciteda most painful sensation, but little calculated to allay the ferment that seems to prevail throughout Italy. : The papal states continue tranquil, the principal leaders of the late insurrection having either been taken prisoners or had fled trom Italy.

India, — The following intelligence, in advance of the Overland Mail, arrived in London on the Ist in- stant. The Indian Mail arrived at Marseilles the 29th July, bringing news from Bombay to the 19h of June, and from China to the Ist May. The fact of Lord Ellenborough’s recall was known at Bombay the 6th June, on which an ex- press was despatched to Calcutta. His Lordship wonld have known his recall, it was expected, by the 5th. It is generally believed that the removal of his Lordship, though very unexpected, had given great satisfaction generally. His Lordship had be- come very unpopular. We copy the following summary of the intelli- ence from the ‘ Bombay Monthly Overland imes:—The hot and rainy months are alwaysthe newsless ones in India ; field operations are lever pursued then unless in cases of extreme emer- gency, and communications by land and sea be- come tardy and difficult. he rumors ot the muster of a grand army of from 60,000 tu 80,000 on the Sutledge have died away; and, though it is still understood that the orders were given for 12,000 baggage camels in Scinde, und stores tor fifty theusand men at Ferozepore, the further report must either have arisen on insvffi- cient foundation, or the Governor-General, as his hour of danger became known, must have ubun- doned his schemes of conquest. The meeting of the Belochee chiefs at Hydrabad on the 24th of May, has passed very peacctully, with what goed results to be seen. Sickness has not increased with the rapidity that was apprehended amongst the troops.

Ersxins, Murray anv Party —We are sorry to learn from the Hong- Na Gazette, of the 23d April, that Commander the Hon. Erskine Murray, who had proceeded with acouple of vessels to Borneo to torm a settlement there, and to establish friendly relations, was-be- trayed and treacherously murdered, with several of his party, by the Sultan of Coti. R An amended translation of the Chinese treaty has been published, which shows that we have stipulated for something more or something less than we intended; and great blame has been cast ry Sir Henry Pottinger tor so great an oversight. he upshot is, that we find the Isiand of Hong- Kong, as our main commercial depot, ccaidarabtr less valuable and important than we conceived it to be. The annexed paragraphs trem the Singapore Free Press, will show what are the principal omis- y the article it is provided, that Chinese mer- chants purchasing goods at Hong-Kong, must ship them on board Chinese vessels. This does not ap- pear in the official translation, and yet it is a most important clause, as it in eflect, combined with another in the 17th article, will completely shut out foreigners from carrying on a coasting trade, which otherwise could not have failed to be both exten- sive and profitable. As we read the non-official translation of this article, all Chinese merchants, except those residing at one of the five parts, are prohibited from trading with Hong-Kong, although this does not appear on a perusal of the official translation, i ‘ ; “The 17th article, which makes provisions re- garding vessels under 150 tons, and by which they will be admitted to Canton on payment of a very small duty, contains one very important pas-age, not given in the official translation, by which all vessels under 150 tons, visiting any other of the ports except Canton, which will have to pay the same rate of duty as large vessels, and which, on a small vessel of even 50 tons burden, visiting the four ports and calling for return freight, would amount to £100 sterling! By this fatal oversight on the part of the British plenipotentiary, in allow- ing such a clause to stand, the value of Hong- Kong, as a convenient place from whence trade might be carried on with the different ports, is de- stroyed ; and, in fact, the whole operations of mer- chants in China will be narrowed and crammed by this most untortunate clause.” Riots at Canton,—The news from Canton is to the let of May. The Canton Press, of the 16th of March, says, ‘‘ on Monday last some Manilla sea- men belonging to a Swedish ship, at anchor at Whampoa, had a quarrel with the Chinese, who began to pelt them with stones; upon which the Manilla men charged the mob, and it is said, stab- bedaChinese. The mob, however, after havin; been dispersed in the first instance, soon returned, and threw stones at the seamen in the company’s garden, and the latter had to take to their boat.” New Zeal The Journal des Debats gives the following story, communicated by a correspondent at Akaroa, in in New Zealand :— “Probably before my letter arrives in France you will have learnt that the Mahouris, a tribe of Zea- landers, have killed thirty English of this colony ; but you perhaps will not know that the bodies ot these unfortunate men were eaten. This is but too true. We had been out one hunting party for about a week, when one evening we arrived amon, the friendly tribe of Terauparaa or Mahouris, an found them regaling themselves with humal 5 We all conceived that they were eating some cap- tives, or native slaves of their own.
