By the arrival of the steainship Britannia, Cap- tain Hewitt, at Boston, from Liverpool, we have highly interesting advices from Europe to the 4th inst, inclusive. The B. made a very short passage, having arrived at her berth, East Boston, at 12 o’clock, Monday night. She le{t Liverpool 4th P. M., and arrived at Halifax at half past 8 A. M. Sunday—left Halifax tor Boston half past 2 P. M. Off Cape Aun, 7 o’clock last evening, passed the Hibernia—stopped engines and was boarded from her—exchanged papers. She brings 98 passengers and has made the passage in twelve days and six hours. The Queen was well, and the baby is said to be the finest in the world, On the whole, Europe appeare to be in quite a harmless state The Baltimore hence arrived at Havre on the 26th ult. ‘The Europe arrived out on the 24th. The Havre cotton market, on the 27th ult., was without material change. The sales on the 26th and 27th were 500 bales each. James Hagarty, Esq , American Consul, at Liver- pool, is dead There was to be an immense sale of American produce in London, the 4th of September. A line of the newly invented electrical telegraph is shortly to be completed from London to Poris- mouth. The ‘Times states positively that Louis Philippe. will not visit England this year. The Countess Guiccioli is about to arrange and publish the manuscripts bequeathed to her by Lord Byron with remarks of her own. The increase to the trade of the port of Liver- pool during the past year has been 187,000 tons of shipping. ‘Two extensive failures have taken place in Man- chester. The old established firm of Burgess and ‘Townsend, calico printers, whose liabilitiesexceed £50,000, and Edward Bingham Jackson & Co., fustian manufacturers, whose liabilities, it is said, are about £20,000. Osrivary —Lord Keane, the captor of Ghuznee, died on the 26th ult. of adropsy. Intelligence had been received of the demise fo the youthful Archduke Ruiner of Tuscany, third son of the Grand Duke, on the Mth ult. We regret to announce the death of the Baroness Rossmore, which took place atthe Dell, near Wind- sor, on Tuesday. The memory of this amiable lady will be long revered by a very large circle of friends.— Windsor Express. Tue Queen.—The ceremony of churching the Queen, took place on the 28th ult., in the private Chapel ef the Castle, the Honorable and Rev. C. Lelie Courtenay officiating. His Royal Highnese Prince Albert attended the ceremony. The Queen and Prince Albert afterwards walked on the ter- race, and in the pleasure grounds adjacent to the Castle ; a garden chair was taken forher Majesty’s use, when required. ARRIVAL OF AMERICAN Packets AND STEAMERS. —Since our last the arrivals from the United States have not been numerous. The Hottinguer arrived on the 2tst ult.; the Europe (sailed Ist Aug.) on the 24th; the Adirondack on the 26th; and the Independence on the 8rd inst. The latter vessel fell in with very stormy weather on the 13th ult., in which she lost maintopmast and tore and mizen- topgallantmasts. The Caledonia, Boston Steamer, arrived on the 29th ult. at 10 P. M. Extraonpinany Facr.—The pera infant has been pronounced by the eurgeon to the royal house- hold at Windsor, to have been one of the finest and most robust children at its birth ever witnessed by the faculty. The infant Prince took the breast from Mrs. Perkias, the wet nurse, within six hours of itsbirth, and has thriven amazingly. Exrutsion or Sisters or Cuariry From Russia. —We find the following in the Westphalian Mer- cury:—Several sisters of charity have lately arri- ved at Berlin, having been conducted to the fron- tiers of Prussia from their convent at Wilna, in Russia, which has been suppressed. They are young women of education sad. good families, and willretura to their principal convent in France. They were put under the charge of Cossacks, of whose treatrnent they make severe complaints. Her Masesty’s Vistr to Scor.anp —It is now, we believe, finally determined, that her Majesty end Prince Albert will embark on board the royal yacht on Monday or Tuesday next, and imme diately progeen to Scotland, on a visit to the Duke of Athol, over whose magnificent estates his Roy- al Highness will enjoy the eports of the field. Tue Queen's Visit to Ineuanp.—The report ains strength daily that the Queen will visiiflre- and in the course of the present auruma, and it is also generally believed that her visit will be signa- lized by a gracious and generous act, namely, that of the liberation of Mr. O’Coanell and his compa. nions in imprisonment, (supposing that the decision oi the judges should not have done it previously.) Several of the papers meation this report, and we haye also heard it from a quarter gene- rally possessed of correct and early informa- tion, We trust that it will prove to be true in all its _parta, for although it is impossible that her Majesty could meet with any thing but atnost cordial reception from a people like the Irish, even if her visit was not attended by any such act of grace as shat which she is said to con- template; yet if the report should prove to ve true that she intends to liberate trom confinement, by the royal prerogative, a man who, however wrong he may be on the repeal question, has done more for the civil 4 ous liberties of Ireland than any other that ever lived, she will add unspeaka- bly to the enthusiasm of her reception, and wil'jwe trust, reconcile many of the rey enlers to the con- neciion between the two countries. Whai will greatly increase ihe popularity of the act, is the well-known circumstance, that from her accession to the throne to the present time, she has proved herself, under all circumstances, to be @ steady {riend of ireland and of its friends. One of the first acts of her reign was to authori Lord Joha Russell to write to the Marquis of Nor- mandy, informing him that she entirely approved of the line of policy which had gained tor him the affections of the Irish people ; at a subsequent pe- riod, when the present Ministers attempted to ob- tain oftice, she informed Sir Robert Peel that she entirely approved of the policy of Lord Melbourne’s Government; and though she had yielded to ne- cessity in admitting the opponents of that policy into her councils, there is every reason to believe that her feelings towards Ireland are unchanged, and that nothing will give her greater pleasure than to perform an act which will be agreeable to the people of Lreland.—-Liverpoot Times, Aug 27. Tue Visit or Lovrs Puruipre.—It has been sta- ted in the papers thatthe visit of Louis Philippe to this country 1s postponed, if not ‘abandoned We have made inquiries on the subject, and find that no intimation to that eflect has yet been re- ceived ah rahe moat likely to be well informed as to his Majesty’s intentions.— Observer. Tt is said that 12,000 Moorish cavalry were in arms at Tangier ready to attack the French if they had attempted to land. A similar force feli upon the Austrians when they landed at Larac! in 1828, and destroyed the greater part of them before they could form in order of battle. Navat Preparations aT Puymourn —We have been politely favored with the fallowing letter from Plymouth, by Mr. Court, Secretary of the Under- writers’ A-sociation:— PurmovrH, Aug 24, 1844. Since our respects of the 224, ight movement has en place in the naval departments, namely :—Meamen new being entered on board the guar! ships for genc- ral service, and one hundred are to be entered in the dock- yard in lieu of one hundred landsmen, to be discharged. “P.8.—Since the above, orders have been received here to get the Vanguard, 80, and Superb, 80, ready for commissioning a3 soon as possible; and, we apprehend, four others are to be got ready at the eastern yards, “FOX, SONS, and Co.” TureaTenep ©rrike or THE Factory Orgra- tives —Meetings of the different branches of the work-people employed ia cotton factories have been held from time to time, during the last few weeks, preparatory to giving notice for an advance of wages, such a course having been attended with success in some parts of Lancashire. On Tuesday night two meetings of the selt-actor spinners were held, one at the Bull’s Head, Market place, and another at the Rock House, Heaton Nor- ris, to devise measures for securing, with the least possible delay or inconvenience, an increase of ten per cent upon the wages at present paid. Delegates from the adjoining towns attended, and several encouraging addresses were made by resident artizans. It was resolved that “shop meetings” should be held thronghout the mills in the districts, comprehending every branch of the manutacturing business, who were to agree upon the Pree to be demanded. Another general meeting of the factory operatives was next to be convened, at which the reporis are to be made. The masters were then to receive notice of the in- crease, and if not conceded, the whole body was to strike for the advance.—Halifax Guardian. Tue Tovacco Trapu.—It is the opinion, from what has recently transpired, that an alteration in the excise of that article 1s in contemplation. Great complaints are made on account of the non- publication ot the Committee’s Report on the To- bacco Trade, but it is hoped the exposition mhich Mr. Hume has 80 easily obtained will not be lost sight of by the Government. Nora Bene.~-The fowy American Indians, now exhibiting at the Egyptian Hall, belong to a tribe from the interior of the country, which 1s reported to be avery honorable. race, being always honest in their dealings with strangers, and never breaking their faith when once it 1s pledged. They must not be confounded with the tribe of the Tou’s, who are natives of Pennsylvania, and bear a very opposite character.— Punch. The following letter appears in the London pa- pers, in answer to one of inquiry from merchantsiu the Portugal trade:— Foreien Orvics, Aug. 26, 1844. Gentlemen—I am directed by the Earl of Aber- deen to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of thy 15th, in which you request to be informed whether commercial negotiatiaus are likely to be re-opened pees , and I am to state to you in reply, that his lordship is not aware that there are any grounds for supposing that such negotiations will be renewed Lam, gentiemen, Your most obedient, humble servant, [Signed] Canning. To Messrs. Cockburn, Brothers & Co. Customs Orpers —It having been decided that clocks of the description usually imported into this country from the United States of America do not, in strictness, fall within the prohibition contained in the 58th and 59th sections of the Act of 3 and 4 William 1V., chapter 52, in consequence of the maker’s name and place of abode not being mark- ed on the frame and on the face, such clocks be- ing of a peculiar construction, and the works simi- lar to those of common Dutch clocks, it is ordered, by a mite, dated the 10th instant, that, when the clocks in question are fitted with pieces of silvered glass, such glass is to be charged with the duty payable thereon under table A, class 13, of the Act 5 and 6 Victoria, chapter 47, in addition to the ad valorum duty of 20 per cent due upon the clocks. Tue War Between France anv Morccoo.— The Prince de Joinville has followed up the bom- bardment of Tangier by the bombardment and oc- cupation of Mogador on the 15th, After the de- struction of tne townsand forts, he took possession of the island and port. On this occasion the Moors do not appear to have awaited the attack of the French, but to have fired upon them before they could bring their guus to bear,and the consequence, according to the French accounts, is, that seventy eight men, of whom seven wete officers, have been killed and wounded. Meanwhile, the military arm of France has not been inactive. On the 14th, Marshall Bugeand achieved a complete victory, at Isly, over the Moors, 800 of whom were left dead upon the field. He took from a thousand to twelve hundred tents, eleven pieces of artillery, sixteen stand of colors, a quantity of warlike stores, the personal baggage of the emperor’s son, and an ‘timmense booty.” Reinforcements are expected in consequence of the son of the emperor having joined the Moorish camp, and the probability of the troops, of which he was said to be in command, having accom- panied him ; but the French prints protest that it is no part of the present et of France to appro- priate any portion of the Moorish territory. It is Cera that the emperor has been procrastinating and holding out in the expectation that the ap- proaching bad season would overtake the French expedition, and put an end to its operations before the conquest of the empire could be effected.— The rapidity of the combined movements of the Prince de Joinville and Marshal Bugeaud have, however, completely foiled this purpose, and the probability now is, that by the next despatch we shall hear of the emperor having accepted the terms proposed by France. The French prints are excessively wroth «t the publication in the Times of three letters from naval officers in the service of Great Britain, who wit- nessed the engagement before Tangier, and which assures us, that, in spite of all that has been done ot late years to raise France as a naval power, the mancuvres of the Priace de Joinville at Tangier, show that there is still a vast disparity in every branch of naval efficiency between the French and ourselves. Certainly, the propriety of giving pub- licity to them is very questionable, not because they have thrown the war party into hysterics, but because they may be offensive to the French go- vernment, and increase the obstacles to a final and satisfactory understanding on the Morocco ques tion. Some of the Frenc’ prints declare that the visit of Louis TAL to this country is put off, but we are assured by the Standard that there is no truth whatever in the rumor, and that his Ma- Jeary may be very shortly expected. Marshal Bugeatd is, it is said, to be created a peer by the title of Countd’Isly. ~The Globe states that a letter had been received from the Marshal, dated the 18th, which confirms the report that, Ab- del Kader had been seized by the Emperor of Mo- rocco, and would be given upto the French go- verament. The Toulonnais also stutes that on hearing of the defeat of his son at Isiy, the Emper- or had sent 400 of his cavalry te seize Abdel Kader, and that iat fell in with him, and made him pris- oner. Another rumor, evidently false, states that the French cabinet had set a price of 2,000,000 franes upon his head It was generolly believed that the Emperor would now accept the terme pro- posed him, the more especially as France is willing to adhere to those originally oflered. The Moniteur Parisien announces that copies of the let- ters exchanged between the Emperor and his son were found in the Moorish camp, but do not add if they afforded any further evidence of the insin- cerity of the Emperor's pacific professions A large convoy of gucpowder had also been intercepted.— The Debats questions the authenticity of the news of the capture of Abdel Kader. The Revue de Paris affirms that the preparations for the visit of the King of the French to this country have not been countermanded. The King’s present purpose is said to be to leave Treport for England early in October. ‘ : Unlike the demonstration at Tangier, the affair at Mogadore is remarkable, not merely for the bombardment of the Moorish batteries, but for the destruction of the town itself, which appears, from the terms employed in the despatch copied else- where, to have been completely reduced to ruins The subsequent seizure of the island has given a still more serious aspect tothe transaction ; and, if report be true, it has already produced an impor- tant crisis in the relations between Great Britain and France. It is stated by the Morning: #ost of Friday, on what it annonnces tobe good authori- Ws that the receipt of the intelligence from Mogn- dore on Tuesday night was immediately follow by the despatch of a special courier to Paris as the bearer of a communication from Lord Aberdeen to M. Guizot. His Lordship is said to have de- manded the immediate evacuation of the island. of Mogadore by the forces under the Prince de Join- ville, and to have intimated that, in the event of a refusal to withdraw the French troops, measures would forthwith be taken in conformity with the NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY MORNING, established usage in similar circumstances. report was contradicted by the Standard and cen- sidered questionable by some of the other p#per but at present there are no means of ascertaini®S, its uuth. There can be little doubt, we presume,that the rumor is a correct one, as it would be manilest- ly impossible for this country to permit anythios like an armed occupation of the ports on the Mo- roeco coast by the French government. Neither can there be any question that the views of Eng- land, so just to the preservation of the balance of power amongst the great nations of the old world, would be supported by Russia. The colonisation of Algiers by the French, in direct opposition to their assurances when the expedition departed for the alleged punishment of the pirates which found refuge and encouragement from the Dey, is fresh in the memory of our rulers, who are not likely to allow of a similar mistake being committed in re- ferencefto Mogadore. The following letter, which is extracted trom the “Augsburg Guzette,” of the 23rd of August, and is dated from London, of the 16th, contains much that has the semblance of truth, and which justifies the opinions we heve ex- preesed : Orders have just been given to arm several ships of war and frigates. The number of seamen at present receiving pay amounts to 36,000 men; the war steamers represent a force of 13,600 horses. It is not doubtful that in six weeks a fleet would be ready to assemble at Spithead. The turn which affairs have taken between France and England favors the views of the Emperor of Russia. The proposals made by that sovereign when in London, have been renewed by Count Nesselrode. I am assured that the French govern- mentia fully informed on the subject. The Court ot St. Petersburg is said to have offered to the Queen of England an alliance offensive and defen- sive in case ef war with France. The {mperor added, that he would piace his entire land and sea force at the disposal of the allied powers. It 1s easy to divine the answer of the English government. It expects that the Cabinet ot the Tuileries will yield to the equitable and moderate representa- tions of England, and that it will not be necessary to have recourse to war. If, however, tranquility should be interrupted, it would be the interest of ali the European governments to put an end to it as quickly as possible by displaying an imposing force. it is, therefore, beyond doubt, that in case ot war here would be a Russian-English alliance.”” Mr. Owen’s Departure for America, In accordance with the arrangements announced in our last number, the members and friends of the London Branches of the Rational Society assembled on last Sun- day afternoon in St. James’ Park for the purpose of accom- panying Mr. O-ven in procession to the terminus of the South Western Railway, by which he intended to join the ship Victoria, at Portsmouth. Althongh no other un- nouncement of the intention to do this hud appeared, save that 1m our columna, together with the notice at the close of Mr Owen’s lecture on the previous Sunday evening, at Jobn street, the concourse wus very greut, being various- Jy estimated at from five to eight thousand persons; among whem we recognised many of the old friends of Social- ism, of whom we have tor some time lost sight. There were also many friends present from various parts of the country. A few minutes after three o’clock, Mr. Owen, having Mr. Clarke the Vice-President ot the Society, and President of Branch A 1, on his right, and Mr.;Fivming, editor of the New Moral World, on his lett, and accompanied by several members of the Central Board, the Council of Branch A 1, Messrs. Ellis, Camp- bell, and a great number of friends, started trom the gate of St. James Piace in the Mal), towards the Duke of York’s pillar, where the great body ot those intend.ng to juin in the procession had assembled. ‘I'he immense muss divided on each side, as Mr. Owen advanced, and received him with hats off and every mark of fervent sffection and respect ; after which, the greater pait fell into rank of three abreast. So great, however, was the desire to see Mr. Owen, and to asy farewell to him personally tat immense numbers surrounded the head of the column from the commencement of the procession to its close. The meratalling of the procession was much aided by the route. It wasthrough the Park, which was entered at the gate next the Horse-Guards, und quitted at the Palace Gate, where the line debouched into Pimlico, Here the numbers were much augmented by the accession of par ties who had stationed themselves in this quuarter to await the approach of the procession. In addition to those formed in a line, which extended to a great distance, the spacious street wag covered as {ar as the eye could reach with adense mass of human beings. The quiet- ness, decorum, order, and respectability of this vast us- semblage,‘unaccompanied as it was by any of the usual adventitious aids for calling crowds together or keeping them in order, evidently excited the greatest possible cu- riosity in the minds of the inhabitants of the quorter through which the line passed; the windows on each side being well filled with wondering spectators. A little before four o’clock the procession haited at an open space near Vauxhall Bridge, Mr. Owen and his immediate sup- porters occupying a slight eminence, and the mass of the friends the hollow ground stretching around it. Silence bein; tained, Mr. Fleming briefly addressed the essembly. He said that for the informatien of any strangers who might be resent, it was necessary to state the cause of that assem- lage. The members and friends of the Rational Society were that tot congregated for the purpose of taking @ public farewell of and showing a parting token ol respect to Mr. Owen, the Founder of the Rational System of So- ciety, and Patriarch of Socialism. He was wow about to leave this country for the United States of North Ameri- ca, and no truer friend of Britain ever left its shores.— They had come forth thus publicly to accompany him on his road fortwo reasons :—First, they were met for the purpose of publicly testifying their affection and respect for Mr Owen as a man, and of their devotion to those be- nign principles of which he was the original propound- er, and had been, through life, the indefatigable and con- sistent advocate Second, in order that ne occasion should be given for newspaper paragraphs, such as have too frequently uppeared, respecting Mr. Owen and the Society of which he is the head ; paragraphs which were eqnally unfsunded and calumnious—Mr. Owen leit the country and the Society openly, ona mission connected with the great business of his life, namely, the emancip: tionof the human race from ignorance, error, poverty, and crime, and intended to rcturn early in the ensuing spring. Of the success of Mr. Owen’s inbors, that meet ing was itself a splendid and a convincing proof. With- out having reconrrn to ony of the arts by which large af. semblages were gather od together, there were t ed in thousands at the call of affection and principle alone. No other body of equal magnitude couid have exhibited equol order acd decorum—and that too without the aid of marshals to array them, or stewards to keep order—nei ther uproar nor ¢onfusion had a'tended their march. It was heralded and accompanied by no banners or banda, the playthings of grown-up children, but called together at the dictates of reason, for the manifestation of a univer: sal sympathy, in an unostentatioua but determined man- ner Their procession that day, resembled the system ot which those camp jing it were the advocates, and which was surely destined, withont violence or conf abrogate’ a systema of error, injustice, and derect in ite place one based upon truth, j ice, and t waa Mr. Fleming then intimated that, as it would be both inconvenient and expensive for the procession to pass over Vauxhall bridge, it was thought best that it should here bid farewell to Mr. Owen, and, ia the name of the vast arsembly around him, he cordially and fervently wished that every blessing might rest upon the head of the venerated man whom they were now parting with, and their earnest hope that they would, in a few months, have the pleasure of again meeting him. He hoped that Mr Owen’s interview with his family, with the govern- ment of the United Stater, ond the heads of the various parties in the republic, would be attended with all the sat- Fraction he could desire ; and again, in the name of the assembly, affactionately bade him farewell. A short but expressive and universal cheer was given at the close of this address, and Mr. Owen said that he was gratified to see so many of his friends around bim. He hoped on hii urn to find the public mind had so progressed that it woull he com- paratively on easy task to introduce generally a system that would provide profitable, permanent, and beneficial employment for all, and axvperior education for the gro ing generation. During his absence ,bis time and means should be devoted to the furtherance of their common cause, and with his most affectionate acknowledgments of their kindnese, he now bade them farewell, with the hoy of meeting them after the lapse of a few ‘months. The great body of the meeting then took its way back to town, and Mr. Owen entered a carriage which was in waiting. find slowly possed over the bridge, both sides of which, and a considerable portion of the road beyond leading to the station were lined with friends of both sexes, who en. gerly pressed (orward to shake hands with him, and to bid Kim alien Atthe station the approaches were almost blocked up, but the crowd divided and allowed Mr. Owen and his immediate supporters to pass up. evineing, beth by look, word, and action, the most intense enthusiasm and affection Shortly afterwar’s, Mr. Owen took bis departure, and the oesembly separated. In the evening. Mr. Fleming lectured in thé John Street Institution to a crowded avdience, on the Life, Character and Writings of Robert Owen. We have not space for an abstract ot this lecture, which was not concluded till ——_ ant nine o'clock ; it was listened to with the silence of it tense feeling, and not unfrequently accompanied by tl tears of the audience ; and, on its conclusion, was gre ed with three hearty rounds of applause London has done its duty in the matter of part 4 with Robert Owen, and has clearly shown how deeply he is enshrined in the hearts of his disciples.—New Moral World. Ireland. The Christian Doctrine Society of Dublin, has voted « gold crucifix to Mr. O'Connell. Rereat Association—The weekly meeting of this association was held on Monday last, Mr. R. Dillon Brown in the chair. Ov the motion of Mr. D O'Connell, jun., a vote of thanks was passed 1o Mr. 3, O’Brien for the services which he has rendered to Ireland in Parliament and elsewhere. Remittances were handed in, including £25 from Liverpool, £200 from Halitax (Nova Seotia,) £30 from Prince Edward’s Isle, £125 from Montreal, £240 from New Branswick, and £242 {rom New Orleans. Mr. O'Connell made bis weekly return fromthe prison. He had to repeathis usual report of the health and ages of the Repeal martyrs — They were perfectly well and full of hope. Ir was likely, inall appearance, that Eogland would want the lion heart and stout arm of Ire- land, and she could easily procure both the one ans of the plansibie and the othe;, not by the i hypocrisy and sweet words Sir Robert Peel, but by the substantial instrumentality of doing jus- tice tothe Lrish. it was the opinion of Mr. O’Con- nell that the association should take steps to get as many persons as possible to take the total absti- nence pledge, and to torsweur the use of tobacco in any shape, for a limited period; that is, tll the repeal of the union. 1 was al-o the intention of Mr, O'Connell himself, on the 30th of May, 1845, to itute a pices tor the non-consumption ot ex- ciseable articles in Ireland, and, also, a pledge for the non-use of any article not of Irish manufacture. The repeal rent for the week was announced to be £1,162 33 9d. _ Rereat Association.—The usual weekly meet- ing of this association was held on Monday, the 26th ult. ‘The chair was taken by Sir Valentine Blake, M.P.

O'Connell then rose to make his usual weekly re- turn from the prison. He said the repeal martyrs were, as usual, in excellent health and spirits, cheered at the tranquillity of the country, and the spirit of perseverance evinced by all parts of Ire- land. He was happy to state, that he knew it was Mr. O’Connell’s thorough conviction that the hour was coming for repeal, and coming fast, Let the people then not be turned aside by false hopes of uny kind.

The Irish State Trials—Writ of Error—Deci- sion of the Judges. House or Lonps, Monday.—To day being appointed for the Judges to give their opinions ou the Writot Erior, in the case of O'Connell and the other prisoners, the gallery and all the approaches to the house were densely c.owded with persons anxious to obtain admission. hen the doors were opened, there was a considerable rush, but the greatest order was maintained Prayers were read by the Bishop of Lichfield and Co- ventry. Lord Chiet Justice Tindal, and most of the other Judges, were early in attendance. The attendance of lay lords was not numerous. Amongst those who arrived first, we noticed his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Earl of Dalhousie, Lord Redesdale, Lord Beaumont, and Lord Strangtord. About 20 other peers were in the house when business commenced, ‘but the number increased as the proceadings nced. rd Brougham, Lord Cot were very early in attendance ‘The Lord Chancellor took bis seat on the woolsack at a quarter past 10 o’clock, when the following cease was called on:— Grey V. the Quen—This is a writ of errer brought against a decision of the Court of Queen’s Bench, Irelaud, in the case of Samuel Gray, convicted of, and in prison for, afelon. ‘The particulars have been frequently repor- ted. When the writoferror was argued, ut its conclu- sion their lordsbips referred it to the judges for their opin- ion as to whether the prisoner had a’ right to the peremp- tory challenge of a jurymap, which he made on his trial, but which was refused by the Court on the ground that the challenge ought to have been made before the jury were sworn, and pot afterwards. Mr. Justice Wightman, at some length, read his opin- jon of the question submitted for the consideration of the judges. His lordship, after taking a review of the cir. ‘cumstances attending the trial, and citing a number of Jegal authorities on the subject, suid he was of opinion that the challenge ought to have becn admitted, and there- fore that their lordships should allow the writ of error, Mr. Justice Coltman was of the same opinion; he consi- dered the prisoner waa entitled to the right of challenge, and therefore the writ of errer ought to be allowed. Mr. Justice Williams fully concurred in the opinions and remarks of his learned brethren who had preceded him. Mr. Justice Pattivon and Mr. Baron Gurney took the me view of the law applicable to the case; they consid- ered the writ of error ought to be allowed. Their lord- ships were of opinion that the prisoner had an undoubted right of peremptory challenge. Mr. Baron Park waa of opinion that a peremptory chal- lenge was not a right, except in cases where a prisoner’ life might bein jeopardy. He regretted to differ from learned brethren who had preceded him, but he felt bound to come to acontrary conclusion on the state of the law. ‘The learned judge at very considerable length, stated bis views of the case, and queted the statutes bearing on the question, andin conclusion said he was of opinion the challege ought to have been disallowed. The Lord Chief Baren (Sir F. Pollock) was of opinion the right of challenge ought to have been admit.ed, and therefore that the writ of error should be allowed. Lord Chief Justice Tindal was of opinion that the Court below ought to have allowed the peremptory chal- lenge made by the prisoner. ‘The other judges did not state their opinion. ‘The Lord Chancellor moved, that the further considera- tion of the case be adjourned until Wednesday next, which motion was agreed to. Final judgment postponed. The State Trials— O'Connell ard others v. The Queen — After a short interval, the case of O'Connell v. the Queen was called on, when the greatest anxiety was manifested. Lord Chief Justice Tindal said, in this case, the first question propounded to her mojesty’s judges was, if en: ot the counts in the indictment were bad in law, and it 80, which of them? The answer to this question (on which all the judges were unenimous) must depend upon the framing of the different counts. If the counta had been drawn in loose and vague terms, the defendants were entitled to the benefit of them on demurrer, and they were entitled to the same benefit in writ of error. To constitute the offence of conspiracy, it must be clearly ide that two or more persons combined together for nown illegal purposes. The gist of the offence was, did the parties meet together for the rarer of knowingly breaking the i Now the wording of the first five counts in the indietment were not disputed ; those counts related to the character of the offence ; the 61h counts charging the defendants with creating J. tion in the minds of her majesty’s subjects, Se. nham, and Lord Campbell The judges all agreed that these counts did not state the of- fence charged in the indictment with sufticient legal oc- curacy and certainty. Although the object of the defen- dants might be to break the law, they considered that it was not stated with sufficient certainty. The counts ought to have stated what person or persons it wes intended to in- timidate and raise discontent in, but the counts only al- tedged that such intention waa certain by adisplay ofnum- bers. They did not think those counts had been drawn up with sufficient ceraihty. The th, 9h, and 10th counts in the indictment set forth the purposes and objects of the defendants, which, it was alleged an intent to violate the laws of the land, diminish confidence in the existing gc vernment, and bring into disrepute the administration of justice. Now, if either of those offences wes proved, it ‘was a most serious and grevious offence. The answer ef the judges therefore to the first question propounded to them was, that they were of opinion the 6th and 7th counts were not valid in law, and if they had stood alone, no judgment could have been had on them. The next question then arose with respect to the finding of the jury—whether thore were any errors in the finding — ‘They all agreed that the finding of the jury on the Let, 24, 3rd, and 4th counts were not sound in law. as set forth inthe indictment, had not been sustained by legal evi- dence, Each count charged all the defendants with one conspirncy, and therefore there ought to have been only one finding, It was not competent to find some of the de- fendauts guilty of some paits of the charge, and others not guilty, {t was not a valid finding to say that the de- fendants were guilty of several conspiracies, when the counts only charged them with one. The judges, there fore, considered the findings in the first four counts were not correct in law, and therefore improperly entered on the record. “The third qu stion was, whetherthere was any reason to reverse the judgment, in consequence of the defect in the finding of the jury in some of the counts in the indlct- ment? On this point there was a difference of opinion amongst the judges, and therefore he now only delivered his own humble judgment, He was of opinion that if one or more counts on which a defendant waa convicted were good, orl some of the other comnte ware defective, it was not a sufficient reason to reverse the judgment ow writ of error. ‘Their lordanips’ question must, therefore, be an- swered in the negative. The fourth question war, whether the plea of abate. ment was a sufficient reason to reverse the judgment ?— ‘The jndgesare allot opinion it was not ; and their lord- ships’ qnestion must be answered in the negative, ‘The fifth question was, whether tho trial being con tinued during the vacation, was a sufficient reason to re- verse the judgment? The judges all ogreed that the trial had been properly continued, and therefore they answer: ed the question in the negative The sixth q n wae, Whether there was sufficient to reverse the jnigment, in consequence of the objec. y the defendants to the jury panel, ‘The of opinion that the Sheriff was bound to se. lect the jury from the jury book, He could not be held responsible if a mistake occurred ; fur instance, an over- seoriathe county might neglect, or there might bea mis- take in the sending in the jury list of a particular parish inthe county. It that was held to be a valid objection thegreatest dificulties would arise in England. Business atcounty assizes might be suspended, an all trials could be stopped by one party or another. The judges were all agreed that the objections taken tothe jury list wore not suificient, and this question must be answered in the neg- ative. 6 seventh question, whether the objections taken to thecontinnasce of the trial was suflicient to reverse the Judgment, the jndgealwere of opinion they were not; thot the trial had been properly continued, and they therefore anawered the question in the negative ‘The next and eighth question was, whether there was sufficient to reverse or vary the jndgment,in consequence of negligence or irregularity in entering the recogni zances. ‘This question tho judges answered inthe negati they did not consider sufficient had been stated to reve the judgment Tho ninth question, whether sufficient had been stated on the aesignment of error to reverse the judgment, the Judges answered in the negative. The tenth question, whether there were sufficient grounds for reversing the judgment, in consequence of irregularity inthe record and the time of entering the judgment of guilty against the prisoners, the ju'ges were of opinion the answer must be in the negative. They were of opinion there was no sufficient reason to reverse the judgment. a dleventh and last question the (Lord Chief Justice Price Two Cents, ‘Pindal) considered must be answered altogether in the negative. He gave this as his own opinion only, as he rstood some of his learned brothers took « somewhat different view of parts of the question. Mr. Justice Pattison said he agreed with the answers given to their lordahiys’ questions, except as to those which related to the first, second, third fourth counts; he thought on those counts the judgment of the court be- low could not be sustained. He was ot opinion, Lowey er, that the other ceunts were good ; Mr, Justice Maule shortly stuted, that he agreed in the answers given to thelr Jordships’ questions He was of opinion that the judgment could not be reversed on the writ of error. i Mr. Justice Coltmor said, he was of opinion that there was sufficiont substantially to support the judgment ; al. though inere were some technical imperfections in the proceedings. Mr. Justice Williams considered there was enough sta- ted in the record to sustain the judgment. He, therelore, answered all their lordships’ questions in the negative | Mr. Baron Gurney, who spoke in alow tune ot voice, was understood to say that he agreed in the propriety of the judgment, and therefore his answer to the questions was in the negative. fede Bs Mr. Baron Alderson at some length stated his opinion on the questions propounded to the judges. It wus the rule of courts to give judgment on the good counts of an indictment, and not on the bad counts, and, therefore, in considering 4 writ of error it was necessary to ascertain whether there was suflicient in any cf the counts to sup- port the judgment appealed against. ‘The learned baron inconclusion, said his answer to all their lordships’ ques- tions must be in the negaiive, and in confirmation ot the judgment pronounced by the court below. Mr. Baron Parke eaid—It must be recollected that when conside:ing the questions submitted to the judges, that convictions im criminal cases were very different to ver- dicts in civil actions. If on writs of error verdict civil cases were set aside, a new trial might be had incriminal cases the effect was different as the p1 was at once set at liberty. ‘The learned baron, after cit- ing a number of legal muthoritiey, suld he could not alto- ether agree with the majority of his learned brethren.— fie feit bound to auswer the third ond eleventh questions He answered the other questions in in the affirmative. the negative Lord Chief Justice Tindal sid one of his learned bre- thers (we could not hear which) was too unwell to at- tend; but he had authorisod him to say that his answer to the questions was in the negative. The Lord Chancellor, after the judges had read their opinions, rose and said, the case before them was one ot the greatest importance: he therefore moved that its {ur- ther consideration be adjourned until Wednesday next. Lord Brougham—And that the opinion of the judges be printed in the meantime. The Lord Chancollor—Yee, certain! ‘The consideration of the judges. opinions was then postponed until Wednesday next. France. We fiad the following, inthe Presse of this morn- ing. We give it merely as one of a hundred in- stances of the avidity with which-the most silly ru- mors are caught up if they be of an alarming na- ture. The rumor alluded to by the Press is not only inconsistent with all that has transpired, but it must have had a very limited circulation, tor not one of the other journals seems to have heard of its existence. The Presse says:— 7 ‘A report was current yesterday, on the faith of letters written from London, by persous who are said to be usually well-informed, that the English Cabinet, after having taken the opinion of the law officers of the Crown, had decided that an altima- tum should be addressed to the French Government demanding the disavowal of MM. Bruat and d’Au- bigny. 1: was added that, inthe eventof a refusal, Lord Cowley is to apply for his passports.” The Globe declares that there is not a word of truth in the statement made by the Revue de Paris about a proposition from M. Guizot to the British Goxernonent on the subject of Tahiti. The Globe aqds:— “Tahiti is now under the régime of the Protec- torate, which ogens its ports to the vessels of all nations, and of course the commerce of England and France will be on a footing of equality,for they are so at this moment. As to Mr. Pritchard, the Revue de Paris forgets that it was decided nearly six months ago that he should not remain at Tahiti in the quality of Consul.” 3 The Montezuma steam-frigate left Brest on the 2lst for Tunis, with orders, says the Toulonnais, tor the Inflexible, ship of the line, to join the squa- dron of the Prince de Joinville. ‘The Montezuma is also to be attached to that force. A Toulon letter of the 20th says: ‘‘ To-morrow the Egerie corvette, and the Perdrix transport will sail for Mogadore with powder and ball for the Prince de Joinville. The hospital steamers Me- tregeois will leave at the same time tor Algiers. A letter from Vienna, in the Cologne Gazette, states that the publication of the Juit Errant has caused several journals, in which it had been given, to be seized. France and Morocco, The following is published in the London papers of Saturday, as the last intelligence trom Morocco: “The last uccounts from Marshal Bugeaud are of the 9th. Atthat date the Marshal still occupied the camp of Lella Magrina. The negotiations with the Moorish camp had yielded no result. he Mar- shal’s army had been abundantly supplied by our steamers. The squadron of the Prince de Join- ville was still on the 9th in the waters of Tangier.” The French government has received the fullow- ing official intelligence: — “Accounts have been received from Marshal Bugeaud, dated from the bivouac at Koudiac. The Marshal having marched against the Moorish army, which was daily becoming stronger and more me- nacing to Algeira, he encountered it on the Mth, two leagues in advance of his e»mp. The Moors assumed the ofiensive with 20,000 horse, at the mo- ment when the heads ot the French column were passing the Isly. Tne French troops have obtain- ed a sigral advantage.” No accounts have been received of any opera- tations of the fleet under the Prince de Joinville, subsequent to those which we gave in our last paper. After bombarding Tungiers, the Prince sailed to Cadiz to repair the damage received by the Sufiren {rom the Moorish guns, and it was un- derstood that he was about to proceed from that place to attack Mogadore, Larache, and the other fortresses on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. If so, we shall doubtless hear of his Royal Highness in a day or two. It will be seen from the following telegraphic des- pateh, that Marshal Bugeaud has assumed the of- fensive, by marching 1oto the Moorish territory and attacking the enemy. He has been victorious, as the commander of well disciplined troops always must be in pitched battles, over bodies of Miverderty horseman; but it is very doubtful whether this vic- tery. will produce any greater results than the previous ones: Manseiiixs, Aug. 22, 5 o'clock P.M.

The Moors assumed the offensive with 20,000 horsemen, atthe moment when the heads of our columns were crossing tho ely. We were surrounded by them on all ides, ‘The most complete victory was gained. The weather having become sufliciently clear in the alternoon of Saturday, the Government receiv. ed the conclusion of the telegraphic dispatch of the Mth, from the bivonac of Koudiat Abderrhaman, ch we now give entire “Having marched upon the Morocco army, which became daily more strong and menacing to Algeria, f came up with it at two leagues in front ofitscamp It asstmed the offensive with 20,000 horse at the moment the heads of eur columns were crossing the Isly.

Our losses, though sensible, are light for such a capital day, which we shall call the Battle of ely.” France and Tahiti, The Morning Herald of Saturday has the follow. i heads ttlement, by Anticipation, an Question” :— “Our private letters from Paris state that the em- barrassment created between the two governments, by the Tahitian affair, has been favorably disposed ein a most unexpected manner. Captain Bruat fo whom. Admiral Dupetit Thouars hed delegated his authority, not approving of the arrest of Mr Pritchard, and particularly of the informal manner in which it was azecute, thought proper to repri- mand M. D'Aubigny, and to euspend him until the Seseds of the French government was taken in is regard, “This timely interposition of Captain Bruat, it is hoped, will settle the question between the two cabinets, aod relieve the Earl of Aberdeen from pressing M. Ciuizot on a point where the sensibility of the French nation is, though erroneously, miucp) excited The Revue de Paris publishes the following statement as to this dangerovs buemess:—'* We have derived the following information respecting the Tahiti affair from an authentic source :—After the exchange of seveiul diplomatic notes, M. Guir zot_ proposed to England to constitute Tabiti into an independentetate, under the authority of Queen Pomare ; to accredit near that Princess consuls for Great Britain and France, whose subjecis should be treated on a fooung of perfect equality, as re- garded commercial advantages, and to recall the French expedition Mr. Pritchard would be per- mitted to retura to Tahiti as a mere individual, but hot to oceupy any situation in the island. We ere ignorant of the answer returned by England to this overture ; we can only state that such is the tenor of the proposition made by M. Guizot.”” The affair ef Tahiti is said to have reached its crisis. ‘The French papers tor some days have ar- gued on the belief that the Briush Cabinet, alter having taken the opinion of the law officers of the crown, had sent an ultimatum to the French Go- vernment, demanding the recall of Capt. Bruat and M D’Aubigny from Tahiti, and had directed Lord Cowley, in the eyent of a reiusal, to demand hia passports. It is now, however, stated by one of the official journals that, netwithstanding the ru- mots to the contrary, no specific wtimatum has yet been presented by our goverament, but that a Breat number of verbal and other communications upon the subject have taken place between Lord Cowley end M, Guizot. Lord Cowley, on the part ot the British Government, demands the recall of both Captain Bruat and M. D’aubigny, and the disavowal of the conduct of these officers to Mr. Pritehard. M. Guizot, it 1s said, refuses to disavow Capt. Bruat, on the ground that he was quite entitled to remove Mr. Pritchard trom the island; and as regards M. D’Aubigny, he main- tains that the unnecessary harshness of his conduct had already been disapproved of by his superior officer, and this was, in fact, the only offence he had committed. The French Cabinet, therefore, considers that, in recalling M. D’Aubigny, all the reparation is oflered which the case requires. It is added that M. Guizot has intimated his imten- tien to resign rather than make any further con- cession; and that the whole ot his colleagues in the cabinet have adopted the same resoluucn, In the meantime the visit of King Louis Philippe has been postponed until October, and doubts are en- tertained on both sides of the Channel whether it will take place at all. Unusual preparations are making in our dockyards, and reintorcements of troops are under orders to proceed to Gibraltar. ‘The Times ot yesterday says:—*We beg to con- gratujate the country on the truly gratifying intel- ligence of a probable arrangement of the Twhiti question, and a termination to all fears ef a rup- ture between ourselves and France. The question appears to have been settled in a way equally hon- orable to both countries. The indignity to Eng- land has been eancalled without the smallest loss of dignity to France ; we have got every conces- sion that we could justly demand, and France haa only given what she could not in justice withhold.” Spain.

The arrangement of the dispute be- tween Spain and Morocco is said to have been effected by Mr. Bulwer, and we rejoice to find that it has proved satisfactory to both parties. The Bank of San Fernando had agreed to advance 60,- 000,000 reals for the use of tLe government during the month of September.

Costa Cabral and his colleagues have re-publish- ed the obnoxious decree respecting the judges, which makes them dependent on the crown, ad- dressed to the army in the torm of an Order of the Day from the War Office. The reason of this is, that the same decree likewise attacks the in- dependence cf the military officers, inasmuch as it makes them liable to be put on half-pay without any form of court martial, whenever it shall please the government to do so. The Duke of Palmella has protested against the measure, and the down- fall of the party was confidently anticipated.
