LONDON. JULY 11.
LONDON. JULY 11. IE Paris papers to Thursday's date have been received. Bv them we learn that Cabrera crossed the French frontier at the head of 5000 followers on Monday, having narrowly escaped being taken by the Spleen's troops. At first it was reported that he was Actually made a prisoner by General Concha but a telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, received by the wrench Government, removed all doubts of his beintj a prisoner in France. The Carlist chief Palacios had been oblio-ed to surrender to the Queen's Generals at Lanz. after vainly endeavouring to reach the frontier. Cabrera will probably be sent to Paris, where Balma- seda arrived on Saturday night. Berga has by this time surrendered so that the flaw of Don Carlos does not wave over a single fortress capable of resisting the attack of a hundred men in all Spain.—The Moniteur of Thursday pnhlishes the following telegraphic des- from Marshal Vallee to the Minister at War:— t> B/idah, July 2.The expeditionary corps has jost arrived at Jiltdah. Medeah and Mitiana are provisioned till the 1st of I ovember. The enemy ottered no opposition to the march of th: convoys. According to ihe information which I have re- "AhrT^i ^rotn 'e deserters, the tribes refused to march with bd-el-Kader, and he is afraid of compromising the regular troops that remain to him. I have already informed the Govern- ment. that since the taking of Medeah General Duvivier has not been atUeked. The town and the detached forts are in a very M>o stale. The tribe of Mousaia, which had constantly been e n,r>s' hostile to us, has been chastised by one of my columns in retiirninjr from Medeah. The flocks were taken, many Kabyles were kij^ed, and all the crops were burnt. Several Marabouts, 1 a pnri of the women and children, were conveyed to Blidah. ie army will speedily have terminated its operations and re- turn to its positions in the Sahel." The Moniteur announces the death, on the 27th ult. at Viterbe, near Rome, of the Prince de Canino (Lucien Bonaparte), second brother of Napoleon, in the 66th year of his age —The Prince de Joinville embarked on Monday on board the Belle Poule frigate for St. Helena, accompanied by General Gourgard, one of the King's Aides-de-camp, Messrs Hernoux and Tonchard, Aides-dn-camp of the Prince, and M. Emannel Las Casas, Member of the Chamber of Deputies. His Royal Highness is expected to return with the remains of Napoleon about the second week in December. Paris letters, in referring to the affairs of the East, contain an assurance that under the united auspices of the French and British Governments an arrangement of the existing differences would be effected within six weeks from the present time The packet ship England, which left New York on the 19th ult. arrived at Liverpool this morning after a good voyage of twenty days. The time of her sailing was postponed from the morning until the evening of the 19th, in order that she might bring answers to let- ters sent out by the Great Western, which arrived at New York early on that day, after a favourable passage of fourteen days and a half. The papers brought by the England are entirely destitute of political news, .q S, either foreign or domestic and are in other respects generally uninteresting being chiefly occupied with discussions on the approaching presidential election. Justness was still very dull, but the money-market was decidedly easier both at New York and Phiiadel- phia. The orders for English manufactures and Euro- pean goods were said to be exceedingly few, and dis- counts were obtained with great facility.—The papers contain accounts of sundry collisions between the Tn- :ans in Florida and the troops of the United States, n one of these skirmishes eleven Americans were killed and several wounded The public and private advices received to-day from Canada notice the prevalence of dull markets for British mannfactured goods, of which there were large stocks on hand. Up to the date of the latest advices from Quebec (the loth ult.) not less than 11,887 emigrants had arrived out from Great Britain, or 9,186 more than had reached that port in the same period of 1839. Full employment was immediately given to all settlers who were willing to work. Governor Thompson had authorized the appropriation of funds out of the military chest to complete the Chambly canal, and to increase the facilities of navigating the island rivers. There were funds also to be appropriated to the formation of new roads. Added to this the settlement of new lands was to be carried on, and active Agents had been ap- pointed by the Colonial Authorities to aid and advise the poorer settlers. The accounts are altogether very favourable.

We understand, observes a Ministerial paper, "that the important question of a Regency, pending the accouchement of her Majesty, has been finally settled ill the Cahinet, and that the selection of a single Regent in the person of Prince Albert, will probably prevent party opposition. A bill to this effect will be immedi- ately introduced into Parliament." On Thursday, her Majesty, with Prince Albert, visited the Royal Hospital at the Royal Military Asylum at Chelsea. The bovs of the institution went through their different exercises, at which the illustrious Vi- sitors expressed their high approbation. Her Majesty gave audience on Friday to Lord Melbourne, and also to the Right Hon. SirG. Grey, Judge Advocate General, who submitted the proceedings of some Courts Martial. Many anxious inquiries are made in the City to ascertain if possible the cause of the extremely heavv state of Bank stock, which since the commencement of the present year has fallen 7 per cent. while, if we take its value this time twelve months, a depreciation raust be noticed of very nearly 20 per cent. It is ap- prehended by many parties that another reduction in *he dividend is contemplated, and efforts are made to show that the Directors consider the profits of the Corporation cannot he maintained even at the present standard. It would be useless to notice the speculations afloat to account for the fall of Bank stock with respect to the proceedings which have taken place before the Select Committee of the House of Commons on the subject of the working of the presentsystem of Banking throughout the country, as it is impossible to state whether that body are or are not in favour of the es- tablishment of one bank of issue. Bank stock to-day has improved to 173f, which is per cent. above the lowest price lately paid. The impression which has been very general in the City this week that the prevalence of cold and variable weather has tended in some degree to retard the growth of the crops, has prevented that improvement in the quotations of the Public Securities which would without doubt have taken place, especially when it is recol- lected that by the payment of the dividends capital in the City has been rendered superabundant. If the information received from the principal agricultural districts be correct, there is at present the prospect of an average produce of wheat should the weather be calculated to bring the crops to maturity. If however adverse circumstances should arise to render the pro- duce deficient, very serious results are anticipated, not only as respects the condition of the labouring popula- tion of the country, but also with regard to the question of the Currency, and on this subject the Directors of the Bank of England are said to be extremely anxious. The increasing value of grain in the markets of this country is fairly taken to rise from the prevalence of an opinion among the best informed in such matters, that there are probabilities of a short yield, and hence the desire shown amongst the growers to hold their stocks the markets in the mean time being barely supplied It is, therefore, and not without good reason, that the Directors of the Bank are acting with great caution as respects their circulation of notes, as should there arise any demand of importance for foreign grain to meet the wants of consumers in this country, it is 110t difficult to foresee that the stocks of the precious metals would suffer a most material diminution. Lord Melbourne's able speech on Tuesday night, ex- planatory of the intentions of the Government, and the principles of the Canada Bill, appears to have consider- ab-y appeased the hostility entertained againsf the measure by the few Members of the House of Lords lately so violent in their opposition to it. The Report of the Committee on the Bill was last night taken into consideration with a temper and impartiality which we wish would more frequently pervade the deliberations Of that assembly. We are surprised, however, that the amendment of the Duke of Wellington, postponing the irfnntf10". °f the Act for fifteen" instead of six" ls> should have been agreed to without a division, Hirtf«Venfany d'scuss'0n. jn thg preseilt unsettled con- n of the Canadas, this delay may be attended with very disastrous results. We shall not, however now, anti cipate evil, but we must regret that the operation If a measure received by all parties with such general approbation, should be delayed even for a day. Until 16 i come into operation the Canadas must be in a state ot doubt and uncertainty, which is in itself an evil in any state, but in a state like Canada, recovering from the shock of an insurrection, with numerous mal- contents in her own bosom, and in proxim: 'ty of a powerful neighbour, whose exampiei if not instigation, stimulates the efforts to perfect independence and a severance of the connexion with Great Britain: in a c'rcums^ance(l measures of government fcoourn be of the most prompt and decisive character. A suite of apartments is fitting up at Buckingham Palace for their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess de Nemours, who are expected to arrive on Tuesday or Wednesday next on a visit to her Majesty arid Prince Albert General report gives the Lord Lieutenancy of the County of Surrey, vacant by the death of Lord Arden, to the Earl of Lovelace. We learn with the most sincere regret that the Right Hon. Stephen Woulfe, Chief Baron of the Exchequer in Ireland, died at Baden-Baden, on/the 2d inst Mr Woulfe was one of the first Roman Catholics promoted to high station in Ireland, and there could not possibly be an individual selected whose choice reflected more credit upon the government that promoted him, than that lamented and accomplished gentleman. Mr. Tornliue's refusal to defend his return for Sud- bury, does not, as some persons seem to suppose, vacate his seat. According to the law, any of the electors who please, may defend their election, and, as they are allowerl thirty days to decide whether they will defend it or not, it seems very likely that Parliament may be prorogued before the question can be tried, which, in that case, will remain in abeyance till after the Parliament re-assembles.-Slln. A new stamp for the postage envelope, to supersede the Mulreaddv landscape of savages, camels, barrels, and Britannia?, is prepared. It consists simply of a well-executed likeness of the Queen, resembling the label, but circular in form, and it is to be printed on the right-hand upper corner of the envelopes and covers Some expense will be incurred by the change. The triennial festival of the City of Londoi. Conser- vative Association took place at Covent Garden The- atre last evening. H. Kemble, Esq. M.P. in the chair. i Among the company were the Marquis of Londonderry, the Earl of Eldon, Lord Teignmouth, Sir S. Canning, and several other noblemen and members of the House of Commons. The toasts given on this occasion in- duced several speeches, both from the proposers and those who responded to them of the true Conservative 1 principle." attacking every liberal improvement in our Institutions, and firmly believing that the Government of this great country could only be safely entrusted to their party, and that the Union of Church and State was the only Salvation of the British Constitution! ARCHIMEDES SrEAMEIL-The Archimedes steamer, which has created so much interest at the various ports of England and Scotland which she has visited within the last two months, arrived at lilackvvall on Tuesday evening, at half-past eight o'clock, from Hull, in twenty-nine hours, having contended with a perfect gale of wind and a heavy sea, which for twenty-four hours was directly a-head. The Monarch, a larger and more powerful vessel, left Hull an hour and a quarter later, and arrived about two o'clock on Wednesday morning, being thirty-four hours on the passage, under the same circumstances of wind and sea, which at times flew completely over the top of the funnel of the Ar- chimedes; thus showing the superior qualities of vessels fitted with the screw-propeller in a heavy sea, &c. RAILWAY ACCIDENT.- Early on Wednesday morning when the luggage trains were on their way from Liverpool to Manchester, a very serious accident, occasioning the loss of property to the amount of nearly lOOOi., occurred. The train belonging to Mr. Hargreaves was following, at a dis- tance, the train belonging to the Liverpool and Manchester Company (which included some timber carriages), and, when proceeding up the incline, a connecting rod broke belonging to the carriages in the first train, which, being thus loosened, ran hack bown the incline at a tremendous speed, and as a matter of course came in collision with Mr. Hargreaves' train, smashing everg thing before them. Three casks of wine and a hogshead of spirits were stove ill, and emptied of their contents; and we hear that one of the engineers could not resist the temptation of having some liquor free of expense, and took so much, that a little time afterwards, when attempting to step from the engine to the tender (the train having started), he fell upon the rail, the wheels of the carriage passing over and killing him. VESSEL BURNT AT SEA, AND PROVIDENTIAL PRESER- VATION OF THE CREW.-The Sardinian brig Telemachus, Captain Suvoashy, from Genoa, houn.1 to the Brazils, was discovered to be on fire on the 1st of Junh, when about on the equator. The captain and crew, after endeavouring to extinguish the fire, finding that, instead of diminishing, it gained on them, turned their thoughts to their own imme- diate safety, and hoisting out their boats (two in number), bid adieu to the ill-fated craft. After experiencing for five' days and nights the horrors which the uncertainty of their final safety from their immense distance from land would naturally create, they were on the 6th, in lat. 5 N., long. 27, picked up in a very weak state by the Oiient, Capt. William Taylor, from Sydney, New South Wales (since arrived in the Downs), and received all the attention which they re- quired, and Capt. Taylor was able to render ihem. Tims, thirteen human lives, after suffering the worst of sea perils, have, under Providence, been safely restored to their families. It is needless to say, that with the exception of what the men had on at the time in the shape of clothes, they have saved nothing. ENGRAVING ON STEEL,-Messrs. Perkinsand Bacon have unquestionably brought this style of engraving to a de- gree of perfection, which cannot he equalled, much less sur- passed, by any other nation. We have just inspected a specimen of their skill, which is so surpassingly beautiful, as to exceed all expectation, and almost all belief. It appears, that the proprietors and inventors of an article, which stands deservedly high in favor with the Fashionable World, finding that the marks and labels of their productions were imi- tated to a considerable extent, particularly on the Conti- nent, have sought and found in the resources of native talent and native art, a protection against the frauds of unprincipled foreigners, and Messrs. Perkins and Bacon have, at their suggestion, produced a specimen of perfection in the art of engraving on steel, which will effectually set all imitation at defiance, and secure the public against the possibility of fraud and deception. When we mention, that amid a num- ber of designs the most beautiful, varied and chaste, the specimen includes an inscription of no less than 30 000 let- ters engraved in a style so exquisitely niimite, that it can only be read by a magnifying glass of considerable power and when we add, that the distinguished and fashionable ar- ticle—for the protection of which so much industry and talent are called forth, is no other than ROWLAND'S CELE- BRATED MACASSAR OIL, we feel that we have stated enough to interest the pnbtic for this admirable production of Eng- lish art, as well as for the zeal and energy of the spirited proprietors and inventors of this indispensable requisite for the loilet-at whose suggestion this beautiful label was de- signed and executed.—See Advertisement.

SHl,EY COOPER'S BOTAN[CAL PURIFY- A ING PILLS are established by thirty years' experience, are prescribed by most of the eminent Physicians and Surgeollsin London, and are always administered at several Pllblic Hospilltls, as the only certain remedy for Gonorrhoea, Gleets, Strictures, and all other forms of Venereal Diseases in either sex, curing in a few days, by one small pill for a dose, with ease, secrecy, and safetv. Their operation is imperceptible; they do not require the slightest confinement, or any alteration of diet, beverage, or ex- ercise They do not disagree with the stomach, nor cause any offensive smell to the breath, as is the case with all other medi- cines in use for these complaints and after a cure effected by the use oft ese piils, the party will not experience any return of the complaint, as general v occurs after taking Balsam of Copaiba, and other drngs of the like nature, which, only possessing a loeal action, merely suppress the complaint lor a time without eradi- cating it from the constitution, and the patients on undergoing a little more fatigue than ordinary, find all the symptoms return, and that they are suffering nnder I he complaint as much as at first, and are at last constrained to have recourse to these pills ns the only certain cure. They are likewise a most efficient remedv for Pimpled Faces, Scurf, Scorbutic affections, and Eruptions < fthe Skin, Sore Legs, and all other complaints arising from an impure state of the blood. Captains of vessels should make a point of al ways taking them to sea, their unrivalledellicacy in curing ncirvy being known throughout the world. The following letter, selected from numerous other professi nal recommendations forwarded to the proprietor when he first olrt red these pills to the public, may be considered interesting. From thateminent Surgeon, the lale Joshua Brookes, Esq. F. R S. Professor of Anatomy, &c. &c. "Theatre of Anatomy, Blenheim-street. Dear Cooper-I have tried your pills in numerous instances, and lilY candid opinion is, that they are a most improved system of treatment for those peculiar complaints for which you recommend them, cnrillg with rapidity, and with a certainty that I had never before witnessed; but what I consider their 1l1l\,t valuable property is, that they entirely eradicate the complaint, and never leave those distressing secondary symptoms (that harrass the patient for life) which usually arise after the use of those uncertain remedies, Mercury and Copaiba. llllÍllk yon cannot fail to have a very large sale for them. "Believe me yours, very truly, JOSHUA BROOKES." Dr. Borraijan presents his compliments to Messrs. Hannay and Co., and writes to say, that having for some years prescribed Ashley Cooper's Pills to his patients with the most successful results, he feels called upon to add his testimony to their great efficacy in ruling sexual (tisleas", lin(I they deserve well of the public and profession.

Conformably to a Garrison Order, dated 9th March, IS3S, for Ihe assembly of a Medical Board, to take into consideration she state of health 01 Lieut..Masters, R.V.C., and to report accord. JIIgly, We, the undersigned, Siaff Officer and Civil Practitioner, forming the Board authorised by that order, after a strict exami-, nation of the case of Lieut. Masters, consider him as entirely unfit for military duty Lieut. Masters has for several years been afflicted with Rheumatic Gout, which has produced serious functionary derangements of his stomach, liver, and other viscera, and finally given rise to infirmity, weakness, and enlargement of ihejarticulalions, especially of the ancle joints; his general health and constitution is much impaired, and therefore, in our opinion, he is incapable of further service. ( Signed) ANDREW FERGUSON, M.D., Staff-Assistant-Surgeon. EDWARD KIELLY, Surgeon. LETTER OF LIEUT. MASTERS, TO MR. PROUT, 229, STRAND LONDON. Hauley, near Bagshot, IMh Jan., 1840. SIR,—Considering that the public would be greatly benefited by the publicatiou of the exiramdinary benefit which I have derived by taking Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, I herewith send the partionlais of my case, and the Medical Certificate, bv which I was invalided. I was first attacked with Rheumatic Gout in from which period to 1833 1 was under the treatment of the late Drs, Rod, Horner, and Jacobs, its well as by the present Dr. Davis, all of Hampstead. From 1833 to 1838 I was at St. John's, Newfoundland, doing duty as a Subaltern it, the Royal Veteran Companies, where I suffered most severely, an* was under the care of Surgeon Huston, R.V.C., Staff Assistant-Surgeon Ferguson, and Mr. Shea, private practitioner there, without being able to prevent the most violent fits of tlie gout three or four times annually, which becoming so bad caused the Garrison Order tor the Medical Board, as before named. About the middle of last February and the whole of March my sufferings were dreadlul; in fact, I was u lable to move without being carried; when Major Birch, 01 Croiiiiiie, near Farnhnm, a Magistrate of this county, kindly commisserating my situa. tion, called on me for the purpt.se of taking my affidavit, that 1 receive my half pay and seeing me in so miserable a slate, advised me to try Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Villa, saying, although not gt uty himself, he knew several who had derived benefit from them. 1 had previously been advised by a then neighbour, Nfr. Fedgent, of Aldershot, to try them, but I declined until the Major recommendeti tliein.-I com- menced by taking them according to the directions; and, after taking six pills, found a cessation of all pain, and the remainder of the box effectually setiled that fit. I have since had several attacks, but as soou as I feel the least sensation of the disease 1 take the pills, which have at once removed all symptoms. 1 may also mention that the chalk "Inch had formed on my ears has disappeared, and where it formed in my fin- gers is decreasing. I have ceased to have those very weakening per- spirations 10 which I was subject before trying the pill-. Were you to print my case, and appoint an Agent in St. John's, New- foundland, where my {sufferings were known, and where there are so many afflicted with Rheumatic Gout, you would vastly increase the sale of this valuable Medicine.-I am, sir, your obedient servant, JOHN MASTERS, Lieut.

From ALEXANDER TWEEDIE, Esq., Surgeon to tbe Metropolitan Fr«e Hospital, Carey-street, Lincoln's Inn Fields. My dear Sir,—I have notes of six cases, in which I have adminis; tered yonr preparation of Copaiba, for the cure of Gonorrhaa, in all of which the disease has been subdued in a shorter period of time than ac- cording to the ordinary plans hitherto made use of. Besides these cases of which I have taken notes, I have tried it in several instances at the Grenville-street Hospital, and am quite satisfied that it possesses a control over the urgent symptoms of Gonorrhoea, relieving the discharge and mitigating the scalding in making water, that 1 have not observed in the usual methods of exhibiting Copaiba, 111 one instance only did it dis- agree with the stomach; but in this it seemed to depend rather on the method of exhibition than on the remedy itself, for, on diluting it with a larger quantity of water, the objection was at once obviated, aud the patient got well in teu days.from the time that he commenced taking the medicine. I have not bad a case in which the discbarge continue* longer than ten days after commencing this treatment. I am, dear Sir, yours very truly, (Signed) If ALEXANDIIK TwitEDIR."
