The Chamber of Deputies has been occupied for leverat days in discussing the projet of a law for be- stowing a million of francs to pay the dowry of the "Queen of the Belgians. M. Odillon Barrot protested Against it. He said, by the law of the Civil List, Proving insufficient, documents should be produced t(> prove that the Civil List was insufficient. They had not required this in the case of the Duke of Orleans, who, as Heir to the Throne, was entitled to especial consideration; but the other Princes and Princesses of the Royal Family ought to be supported out of the Civil List if it were sufficient. M. Laplagne, Finance Mini- j ster, said that the two Commissions of the Chamber Which had examined this question, and of which he was reporter, had both unanimously set aside the idea of asking the Crown to shew its accounts. Both as Mi- lister and Reporter of the Commission he was of this °pinion. M. Odillon Barrot said, that in that case the Proviso in the Civil List Law of the Princes to be pro- vided for by the country, only in case the Civil List Proved insufficient." was a derision. M. Montalivet, Home Minister, insisted on the impropriety of asking the King for his accounts: it was notorious that the ^ivil List was insufficient: this notoriety must suffice, Thosa who were not satisfied with it would vote against the law those who were satisfied with it, the contrary. The Chamber affirmed this determination of the Mi- j nisters, and passed at once to the order of the day. On Tuesday Count Montalivet laid before the Comniittee on the Bill documents shewing that the King's private property, which produced only 2,400,000f. per annum, was encumbered and inadequate to the providing for | his Majesty's children. On Wednesday the Chamber J of Deputies voted (by a majority of 193 against 159) the whole of the supplementary supplies required by Government; and adjourned over to Thursday, when the Bill for granting the million dowry to the Queen of the Belgians was brought under discussion, the de- bate upon which was proceeding at the hour when the despatches were closed. We stated in the postscript of our last number, that the trial of Meuuier, Lavaux, and Lacaze, had terminated, but that the sentence of the Court was not delivered when the mails left. The Papers of Wednesday state, that the Court sentenced the former to undergo capital punishment, in the man- ner resorted to in the previous similar cases of Alibaud, &c. viz. that he be taken barefoot, his head covered with a black veil, to the place of execution, and that, i after being exposed to the people whilst his sentence is read by the attendant officer, he be immediately put to death." It was thought the execution would take place on Thursday (yesterday). The latest accounts Inspecting this wretched convict represent him as hav- ing lost all hope and courage the moment his advocate, Delayle, gave his opinion to the Court lhat his client Was guilty, and deserved death, but that the only ex- tenuating circumstances were in the probability of his having been a tool in the hands of others. As it re- gards Lavaux, it is stated that 132 Peers were present, and 67 were for finding him guilty, and 65 for acquitting him. By the constitution of the Court, five-eighths of the Peers present must concur in a finding of "guilty," and he was acquitted accordingly. All the judges, ma- gistrates, and lawyers in the court, it is said, were for condemning him, and all the military men were for his acquittal. The acquitted prisoners were immediately released, and were received by a number of friends and relatives outside the Court, who conducted them with tokens of joy to the rue Montmartre, where Lavaux lives. There also a number of journeymen saddlers were collected to give their comrade a welcome. The papers of Thursday announce that the punishment of death awarded against Meunier by the Court of Peers, 1-ias already been commuted by the King to transporta- tion for life. This act of royal clemency has given the greatest satisfaction to the citizens of Paris of all ranks. The King appointed the President of the Court of Peers to announce to Meunier in his dungeon, his reprieve from death, which the culprit heard in silence, followed by demonstrations of the liveliest repentance. This act of mercy will do more to put an end to conspiracies against the King's life than the beheading of twenty intentional regicides. Letters from Bayonne of the 23d inst state, that General Espartero had adopted a new plan of campaign, which he was to act upon in the course of a week, and that the movement of Iribarren towards Puente la Reyna had been concerted with the General-in-chief. It was believed in St. Sebastian that General Evans would be shortly reinforced, but a letter from Bilboa of the 19th positively announces that the moment the fortifications of the place shall have been completed, Espartero will proceed to Vittoria, by the Encartaciones, with the greater part of his forces, and having effected a junction with Iribarren, will attack the Carlist on that side. The last accounts from Tolosa, Vittoria, Pampeluna, and Estella, represent the Carlist expedi- tion as ready to march to the interior. Some letters state that it was contemplated to divide it into two corps, one of which would operate in Lower Arragon, and the other in Caslile. On the 22d 2,000,000 reals were forwarded from Bayonne to Don Carlos. The sum had been remitted in bills of exchange drawn on Milan, Naples, Florence, and Turin. The German papers arrived to-day announce the death of M. Ancillon, the Prime Minister of Prussia, and both they and private letters speak of his removal as almest irreparable. Prior to M. Ancillon, Prince Hardenburg filled the same situation, and then the weight of the monarchy was supposed to rest principally on his shoulders. Late accounts from Madras state that the war against the Rajah of Goomsoor was carried on with the greatest activity, but that the Rajah had not shown any dispo- sition to submit. The country within the circle of the seat of war had been depopulated, the lives of the women and children alone being spared the inhabitants had, in most instances, saved themselves by flight.- The important question of steam navigation continued to excite the greatest attention in the Presidency. The government appeared disposed to forward the measure, and several meetings had been held in support of it, recommending the route by the Red Sea. THE COURT.-At the Levee on Wednesday, Major- Generals Sir David Leighton and Sir Robert Houston were kuighted and invested with the ensign of Knights Commanders of the Bath. Thursday being appointed for the celebration of Her Majesty's birth-day, the King, who arrived from Windsor Castle at one o'clock, held a Drawing-room at St. James's Palace, Princess Augasta received the company as on the previous Thursday, owing to the continued indisposition of her Majesty. The Archbishops of Canterbury, York, and Dublin, the Bishop of London, Winchester, Exeter, Hereford, Salisbury, Dirrham, St. David's, Lincoln, Gloucester, and Bristol, Carlisle, Ely, Bangor, Ripon, Chichester, Rochester, and Killaloe, were introduced to the King in the royal closet, and the Lord Primate read a Congratulatory Address.-The Duchess of Kent ,and Princess Victoria arrived in state, and received with the usual honours. The Equity Judges and the Speaker of the House of Commons also went in state. -At two o'clock Princess Augusta took her station on the right of the Throne, and received the company. The Drawing-room was attended by the Dukes of Cumberland and Cambridge, the Great Officers of State and Royal Household, the Cabinet Ministers, Foreign Ambassadors, and a long list of nobility and gentry. The Court did not break up until near six o'clock.—His Majesty afterwards gave audience to Lords Palmerston, Winchester, Conyngham, Alber- marle, Hill, and Glenelg, and at seven o'clock left the Palace for Windsor.-By express command of Her Majesty, the Ladies appeared in dresses of Spitalfields manufacture.—In the evening the town was very generally and splendidly illuminated. State dinner in honour of the day were given by Viscount Melbourne, &c. &c.- His Majesty came to town again on Friday morning, to open the sixty-ninth Exhibition of the Royal Academy, held in the East wing of the New National Gallery in Trafalgar-square. The King, ac- companied by Princess Augusta, Duchess of Gloucester, Dukes of Cambridge and Cumberland, the Marquis Conyngham, and the usual circle of the Court, occu- pying seven carriages, arrived about a quarter past one. They were received at the principal entrance by Sir M. A. Shee, the President, Sir David Wilkie, Principal Painter in Ordinary, and the other Mem- bers of the Council, who conducted them through the various rooms, which are extremely capacious, and all in one floor with the the exception of the Sculpture, which is exhibited on the basement of the edifice. The East room contains a majority of what are usually de- nominated the lions of the Exhibition.—His Majesty and the suit left the Academy a quarter before three. He was loudly cheered by the immense crowd in Tra- falgar-square when he took his departure.—At four o'clock the Dnches of Kent and Princess Victoria en- tered the Gallery, attended by the Duches of I^or^hum- Aerland and Sir John Conroy. These personages aningled promiscuously with the visitors. ■■■Si^SiSiiiSiiiiiMaSSiSSSiSSSiBiSiSSSiS^iSiSii TRADE AND COMMERCE.—The letters by the Inde- pendence packet, which left New York on the St1. inst- delivered this morning, And their CWNTENTS PR ,duced agieat Jegreo Sf'city- The 1 the bonds of the United States Bank tot rc.m tancc ue e so g,eat .hat only Se pressure upon minor establishments ieniai e tpnorof •tarm which exUttd Xlf 8 Tb.

It was believod that the woist had nassed One letter observes—" We shall pay eveiy do! ar o our foreign creditors, and in six months from tlusUme we shall be creditors of England instead of debtors The in- telligence received to-day from the United S ates having been in a great mfasnre anticipated, its effects upon om merchants have not been so severely felt as under other cir- cumstances would have been the case. The state of trade is improving, and the sales of manufactured and other goods this week, for exportation and home consumption, have been very extensive. It is however with very great regret that we have to announce the suspension of payments of a highly respectable establishment long connected with the East India and China trade, which has been subjected to very heavy losses in consequence of the great decline that has occurred in tea and othftr valuable produce they have im- ported. The extent of the liabilities of the house are va- riously estimated, but as nothing is known positively we refrain from stating any sum. The effects of this failure will be severely felt by all the holders of India and China pro- duce, as it must tend to keep them very heavy. The com- mercial accounts from Liverpool, Manchester, and other places, are more favourable than they have been for some time past. The fall in the price of most articles seems to be stopped, and pretty large purchases have been made of goods for exportation. But it is of importance to observe, that the orders in question are almost entirely on account of the Continent and Brazil; and that, for the present at least, the United States, India, and China, may be said to be out of the market. It appears from the official returns pub- lished to-day, that the Joint Stock, as well as the private Banking Establishments throughout the united kingdom, have in the last quarter very considerably reduced their issues of notes. The reduction in the circulation of the Private Banks has been from 7,753,500J. to 1,275,7841., and in that of the Joint Stock Banks from 4,258,197Z. to 3,755,2791. The total reduction is rather above 980,000J., viz. from 12,01] ,6971. to 11,031,0631. The Earl of Durham, it is again stated, is shortly ex- pected to arrive in this country. Sir William Molesworth being, it is stated, satisfied with the report of his agent at Leeds, intends shortly to declare himself a candidate for the suffrages of the burgesses of that borough at the next general election. Mr. Thomas Hearn, the mayor of Buckingham, has resigned that post to enable him to give support to Sir Harry Verney, the liberal candidate, free from ail im- putation. This is an example worthy of imitation, but we may be sure will find no Tory imitators. Mr. Ellice, son of the Right Hon. Member for Coven- try, has consented to become a candidate for Hudders- field, provided he has a fair chance of success.—Mr. Oastler, of Flixby-hall, has issued an addrers to the electors, stating that a requisition has been presented to him, requesting him to offer himself as a candidate, to which he says, "unhesitatingly I answer, yes, I will;" adding, that if returned he will instantly give notice of a motion to tear the New Poor Law from the Statute Book. It is by no means unlikely, observes the Standard, that the Government will announce their determina- tion on Monday next, or whenever the Irish Church bill comes on, to adhere to the appropriation clauses and that Messrs. O'Connell and Shiel will get up and say that these clauses will no longer ensure the tran- quillity of Ireland; whereupon the Ministers will say in that case they had better withdraw them. This is believed to be the scheme by which they mean to back out of these clauses, and. excuse themselves to the country for the abandoament." The Romish Bishops in this country, observes the Standard, have, under the legal advice of Mr. O'Con- nell, resolved to reconstruct their Church in England exactly upon the same plan on which it was constructed before the Reformation; throwing off the titles of vicars apostolical," and resuming the dignities of ter- ritorial bishoprics. In order to complete the corps on the footing on which it stood three centuries ago, it will be necessary to appoint ten or twelve new Bishops; and, if we be not misinformed, Mr. Griffiths, the vicar of the London district, and Mr. Walsh, the vicar of the Wolverhampton district, have proceeded to Rome to make the proper arrangements for this most important change. The Romish Church in England will then be in precisely the same case as the Romish Church in Ireland. The annual grand Masonic Festival was held on Wednesday at Freemasons' Hall, and produced an as- semblage of more than three hundred members of the craft. Lord John Spencer Churchill, Deputy Grand Master, presided at the cross table, and was supported, among others, by the following distinguished brethren: -J. Ramsbottom, Esq., M.P., Rowland Alston, Esq., M.P., J. J. Guest, Esq., M.P., S. M'Gillivray, Esq., and R. H. Lewes, Esq., Provincial Grand Masters- Sir William Rawlings, B. B. Cabbell, Esq., David Pollock, Esq., and H. R. Willett, Esq., Past Grand Wardens; Rev. John Vane and Rev. W. Fallowfields, Grand Chaplains; the Hon. Fox Maule, M.P., Grand Senior Warden John Henderson, William Shadbolt, and Henrv Perkins, Esq., the Rev. G. Gilbert, &c.— It v/as mentioned by the Noble Chairman, in the course of the evening, that the Duke of Sussex was recovering rapidly from indisposition, and might be expected to attend the next quarterly meeting. Lord Lyndhurst left town on Thursday afternoon for Paris, having received a very alarming account of the state of his daughter's health. About six weeks ago his Lordship, at the suggestion of two medical friends (one a physician, the other a surgeon), of great ex- perience and reputation, took his second daughter to Paris, for the purpose of having an operation of a delicate nature performed on her throat by Mr. Roux, who has acquired considerable celebrity for his skill in that branch of surgical science. The operation was performed with success, and the young patient, an in- terest child of 15, was pronounced to be cured, when she was suddenly seized with the Parisian epidemic called la grippe. The symptoms soon manifested themselves in the most severe forms of cough and fever, and Lord Lyndhurst was so much alarmed, that in spite of the urgent claims upon him as a leader of his party to attend to his parliamentary duties, lie merged the statesman in the parent, and determined not to leave Paris. At the begining of last week, how- ever, his daughter was pronounced convalescent and Miss Copley (his Lordship's sister) having arrived at Paris, he left that metropolis for London. Since his return all the accounts have been favourable till yes- terday, when lie received a letter anuouncing a dan- gerous relapse he immediately ordered horses, and started with his eldest daughter for Paris, to receive, we fear, the last embrace of his poor child, or, what is more probable, to find her no longer a living object of his affection. We have entered into this detail in order to explain to the general public the reason of the absence of a political chief at this important political crisis —a reason which all will admit with sympathy and respect.—Times. Mrs. Graham, yesterday, made her first balloon ascent since her accident, at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. She was accompanied by her husband and Capt. Currie and they descended safely at Sir Samuel Scott's park] near Bromley, Kent. Gambling at the principal Clubs is said to have been considerably on the decline since the late expose, which has had the effect of producing general suspicion, by showing people what sort of company they keep. It is stated that the Poor Law Committee, after a long discussion, and a division of nine to seven, have this day resolved that the evidence taken before them shall be published from day to day. The new locomotive engine, the Eden, performed the distance between Milton and the London road to station, on the Carlisle and Newcastle Railway, on Saturday week, in the astonishing short space of time of ten minutes, being at the rate of seventy -two miles an hour.— Whitehaven Herald. Dr. Franklin observes that the only animals created to drink water are those who, from their conformation, are able to lap it on the surface of the earth; whereas all those who can carry their hands to their mouths were destined to enjoy the juice of the grape. LITERARY POVERTY.—Mr. Hood, in an article of sin- gular humour, states that the phrase "republic of letters" was hit upon to insinuate that taking the whole lot of authors together, they have not got a sovereign amongst them." A fraudulent bankrupt, named Richardson, formerly carrying on the business of a linen-draper in Regent street, London, was traced to Boulogne, last week where a police inspector discovered property to the amount of more than 10001. in the bankrupt's posses- sion—all of which he succeeded in bringing back to the creditors. But he was defeated in his object to take the bankrupt prisoner, as the French authorities refused to interfere. The Court of Common Council have voted the sum of 500/. towards the fund raising for the destitute poor of Scotland. The larger sum of 10001. was proposed, but the smaller was substituted on a division of 64 to 62.—At the same Court the report of the committee recom.mending an addition of 5001. per annum to the City Judges was, after some discussion, agreed to. LIVERPOOL CUSTOMS.—It appears from a Parliamen- return, that the revenue from customs received in the port of Liverpool last year was 4,224,7981. 6s. 2d., being an in- crease of 179,9031 7s. 6d. on the receipts of the preceding year. The receipts in the port of London during the same period were 12,156,2791. 14s. 6d. These returns, however, do not give a correct idea of the comparative extent of the commerce of the two ports, owing to this circumstance—the imports into London consist principally of tea, sugar, wines, spirits and other articles of consumption, on which the du- ties are very high in proportion to the value, whilst the im- ports into the port of Liverpool are principally cotton, hides, dye, wares and other raw materials for the manufac- turing districts, on which the duties are very slight. Liverpool Telegraph. ° IMPROVED STEAM ENGINE.-A patent was obtained some time ago by Mr. Whitty, engineer, in the Staffordshire Potteries, for an improved Steam-engine, which is likely shortly to co/ne into use. The advantages are, that the vehicle may be propelled at the rate of one-third more than the usual speed, if required, and which may be brought to bear in ascending an inclined plane, &c.% It is constructed on the rocket principle (a mere transposition in gunnery) whereby all the recoiles are converted into power: thus the unpleasantness of a continual thumping, which all those who have travelled by railways must have observed, will be done away with. On Thursday the 28th instant, a verv respectable party assembled in the large room at the baraceu s Head. Among the company were—J. Davenport, Esq.; Job Meigh, Esq.; Messrs. W. Butler, engineer, and J. R. Daffers, M.A. Shelton lion-works; E. N. Fourdrinier, (patentee of the paper machined E. Ackwnrth. M.D. W. Palm,er, Lessee of the water-works; L. J. Abington, J. W. Harris, and H. F. Pankhurst, &c. who inspected the model, which gave great satisfaction; and the following resolution was unanimously agreed to That the principle appears to this meeting to be entirely new, and verv superior as to sl?IP,ISi ?,an ^ect, and deserves the serious consideration of all Railway Companies." BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL.-The ensuing tri- ennial ft "Slc^ Festival will be held in Birmingham on Tuesday e 19th of September next, and three following days. The contemplated arrangements of the Committee of Management, we understand, include all the leading talent of this country, combined with a number of the most distinguished professors from the continent. Advantages much greater than at the last festival will also result from the alterations now in progress at the Town Hall; for not only will the room be lengthened, and its proportions and general appearance improved, but the Orchestra will be so enlarged as to be capable of conveniently accommodating four un red performers. The Organ likewise will be found to e gieally improved by the augmentation it has ungergone since e tormer meeting. Under these circumstances, a meeting at least fully equal in splendour and effect to any that has taken place in England, may be fairly calculated upon. ihe profits of the festival, it is known, are devoted to the support of the General Hospital in that town; and perhaps on no former occasion was a succesful meeting more essential to the interests of this important charity than at present. THE CONVICT GREENACRE.-Greenacre's case was repqrted to his Majesty in Council on Wednesday, and he was ordered for execution on Tuesday next. Th Re- corderm the afternoon sent the Order to Newgate, and immediately after the Rev. Chaplain, accompanied by the Governor, went to the room in which he was confined, for the purpose of communicating the result. Greenacre was writing at the table at which he had been sitting placidly most of the day. On seeing the Ordinary with a paper in his hand w th the black seal attached, he rose from his seat, but without appearing to be at all agitated or dis- turbed. The Ordinary said, as is the custom on occasions of the kind, "The Recorder has made his report to the King, and I am so ry to inform yon, that it is unfavourable to you."—Greenacre: "It cannot be helped—I am sacri- ficed through prejudice and falsehood."—The Ordinary expressed a hope that Greenacre would occupy the period between the moment the communication was made and the time of execution, in earnest and hearty prayer.—Greenacre: Nothing but inward prayer will suit my condition. I have a confidence in the mercy of GOD, and will trust to that. I care not a pin for death; but I abhor the thought of going out of the world branded as a wilful murdeier. I commit- ted no murder."—The Ordinary then handed a Book of Prayer to him, and called his attention most earnestly to it. —Greenacre cast his eye over the book, and said, I can't attend to those long prayers. I must look to inward prayer for relief. All prayers from the heart are short, as,' GOD be merciful to me a sinner.' Oh! I should think nothing of death, but for the horrible stigma on my name, for ever." —The Ordinary: "The blood of the unfortunate woman is on your hands, for it was by your means she came to her death." -Greenacre: Yes, but it might as well be said that I murdered her if a cart wheel passed over, and I after- wards committed the mutilation. I have fallen a sacrifice to prejudice and the press."—He then shewed some symp- toms of agitation, and returning thanks to the Ordinary for his humanity and attention, reseated himself, and resumed his pen. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN DUB.LIN.On Thursday morning, one of the most destructive conflagrations ever witnessed in Dublin broke out at the Suffolk-street side of the Royal Arcade, in the toy-shop next the gateway, occu- pied by a Mr. Kirby. It is supposed it originated in the ignition of some shavings lying in the shop. The flames spread with extreme rapidity through the arcade, owing to the dry and combustible nature of the buildings, and the goods which they contained, and the free current of air through the passage. In less than an hour scarcely a ves- tige of the two lines of shops on the galleries overhead were visible, and the flames had extended to the Royal Hotel in front and the chambers for public exhibitions adjoining. In the meantime the fire had communicated to the adjoining houses in Suffolk-street—Mr. Wisehart, bookseller, which was completely destroyed, and Messrs. Simmonds and Wal- pole, linen-drapers, slightly injured but upon this side the fire did not extend far. It was upon the buildings forming the old General post-office that the flames committed the greatest ravages. For a long period—upwards of an hour a supply of water could not be procured, although the fire- engines of the various insurance offices were in attendance. The arcade was entirely destroyed before the firemen were enabled to commence operations. In a short period after the first alarm was given the high-sheriff, Town-major White, the horse and foot police, with parties of the 77th, 46th, and' 95th Regiments, were in attendance. At half-past four the exhibition-rooms in front of the arcade were burnt to the mere walls, the collection of wax-figures having greatly added to the progress of the flames in this direction. The only remnant of the various curiosities exhibited here was the small figure of Toby, the learned pig," which still re- mains over the entrance. Poor" Toby" himself was saved by a gentleman, who took him under his arm out of the reach of the flames. At five o'clock the Royal Hotel was enveloped in flames, and the spectacle presented by the conflagration at this period was truly awful and alarming. From every window the flames were bursting, while the terrified inmates were rushing from the burning pile; and at intervals the crash of the falling floors increased the horror of the scene. One individual, an English commercial traveller, we believe, was. extricated from the hotel by means of sheets tied together, and suspended from one of the windows. About six the flames had extended to the banking-house of Boyle, Lowe, and Prim, next door to the Royal Hotel, and burned with great rapidity. On account of the quantity of property and papers known to be in the banking-house, every possible exertion was made to check the flames- in this quarter, and the principal engines were worked with the utmost skill and vigour upon the premises. It was quite impossible, however, to arrest the destructive element, and in a short period the house was completely burned. No loss was sustained beyond the building and furniture. All the valuable bank property, money, papers, &c., has been preserved by the care and promptitude of the gentleman residing on the premises, who lost not a moment, after the alarm of fire had been given, in placing all the books, papers, &c., in a large fire proof safe, composed of granite, with iron lining, which has since been removed from I the premises, and upon investigation it was found that not a particle of injury had been done to anything which it con- tained. At eleven the fire had been greatly checked. The engines, however, continued to play upon the ruins, and the military, officers and men, whose conduct all through had been most praiseworthy, continued to afford every possible assistance.—The damage is estimated at 60,0002. a great portion of which, however, is insured. CAMBRIDGE, April 29.—At a Congregation on Thursday last a grace passed the Senate to sanction a petition to the Chan- cellor for the purpose of obtaining for Mr. Stanley, of St. John's College, the new Bishop of Norwich, the degree of Doctor in Divinity by royal mandate.
