yogtgttigt LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 16. Madrid papers of the 9th have been received, but their contents relate chiefly to the proceedings which took place at the Palace on the 8th. The Duchess of Victoria left Madrid for France on the morning of the 7th, with an escort of troops to the frontier, and will proceed with little delay to England tomeet herhtishand. It would appear by accounts from Lisbon that the ex- Regent had not received permission to land, and, con- sequently, that he would sail without delay for this country. The Madi'id Gazette contains several decrees, ordering the dissolution of the corps of operation, the staff, and the battalions of volunteers raised during the insurrection. According to the latest accounts frr'm Galatia, the Junta still refused to give in its adhesion to the provisional Government. The Paris journals of Monday contain no news from Spain, but they continue to comment at great length upon the declaration of the majority of Queen Isabella. Most of them concur in regarding this measure as the best that could have been devised but some, notwith- standing their hostility to Espartero and their approba- tion of the insurrection, are honest enough to admit that the declaration of the majority by the provisional government, without waiting for the assenting of the Cortes, in order that it might proceed from that body, is an inexcusable violation of the constitution. The Paris Globe continues to express its regret at the over. throw of Espartero, and mentions, as one of the con- sequences of the present state of things in Spain, the outbreak of public opinion in England, under the impression that our influence has been destroyed by the intriguesof the French Government.—The Otaheita affair excites great in'erest in the French press. The journals which were loudest in their censure of the Government for the importance which it ascribed to the possession of the islands when there appeared to be no opposition on the part of England, affect to regard them as vastly important now that there is a prospect that the natives will demand back their independence. Some of our contemporaries even think that war between England and France must arise out of this question; but the journals which indulge in such a view of the affair are celebrated for their false prophecies. These journals contain no domestic news of much importunce but we learn by a letter, dated Oran, July 29, that the indefatigable Abd-el-Kader bad made a sudden attack upon a French division,between Oran and Mascara, in which the commanding officer was killed and several officers killed and wounded. On the 25th," says the account, various convoys, with camels and mules, which had left the town with provisions and goods for Mascara, returned soon after, having met on the way some Bedouins, who informed them that camels loaded with flour, had been pillaged by the marauders of Abd-el-Kader. This chief had again made his ap- pearance between Oran and Mascara, and it was re- ported that the tribe of Ouledassa had revolted. The same day, earlv in the morning, Abd-el-Kader attacked in person, at the head of 800 horsemen and 200 foot soldiers, the camp of Oued Aman, formed to protect the works of the bridge, now in course of construction on the Mascara-road. ?I We had on this point nearly 250 infantry, and yet the enemy was vigorously repulsed, leaving eight dead. Unfortunately, Chief-de-Bataillon Leblond, of the 6th Light infantry, who was in command of the camp, was mortally wounded in this affair He received two musket balls in the body, and expired whilst in the act of being transported to Mascara. The surgeon of the division was also wounded, as well as some soldiers, and one man was killed. On the 24th, two spies of Abd-el-Kader were taken, with letters in their possession, addressed from the Ex-Sultan to the Garrabate. The Emir, it appears, is redoubling his activity to cause us fresh embarrassments." The Duke of Nemours continues his route through the Provinces, and is everywhere well received. No Mayor has yet had the courage to imitate the Mayor of Le Mans.

We have much pleasure, says a Glasgow paper, in being able to state that for some time trade in this part of the country has decidedly improved, we may say, in nearly every branch of business, with the exception of the iron and engineering trades. The different print works, cotton mills and weaving factories, are all fully employed. The Lords of the Admiralty have ordered the Cap- tains of the St. Vincent, Victory, and Excellent, to call upon such yonng officer, &c., who may wish to learn to swim, to place themselves under the direction of proper persons, who have been appointed to attend to their instruction in that science on board the Success luilk, at Spithead. The swim. ming belt lately sent down from the AdmiraJty has been tried on board the St. Vincent, but it has been found not to have such an effect in supporting a person unable to swim as the inventor imagined, for while the person who was in the water kept his arm below the surface of the water, and perfectly still, it supported him very well; but directly he began to struggle or raise his arms above the water, be was immediately in danger of being drowned.—Hampshire Tele. graph. BAPTISM OF TWO CONVERTED JEws-Two converted Jews were baptised in the Parish Church of Cheltenham, on Friday, by the Rev. Paul Lewis Sandberg, himself also a converted Jew, and lately ordaiued a Minister of the Church of England. DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL SIR DONALD MACLEOD, K.C.B.—This venerable officer died at his house in Mon- tague-square, on Wednesday, at an advanced age. He was the son of Donald Macleod, Esq., who was grandson of Sir Roderick Macleod married, 1813, daughter of John Mac. kenzie, Esq., of Kincraig, who died 1841 entered the military service of the East India Company 1781 attained the rank of Captain 1800; colonel, 1820; and Major-Gene. ral, 1837 was knighted for his services in the east. SERIOUS COLLISION BETWEEN THE BRITISH SHIP ELECTRA AND THE FRENCH FISHERMEN ON THE COAST OF NEWFOUNDLAND.—(Frum the Cork Reporter of Saturday )-The Science brig arrived in this harbour last night, having on board James Tobin, Esq., and family, in sixteen days from St. John's, Newfoundland. Mr. Tobin brought dispatches from Sir John Harvey, Governor of the island, for the British government, which were immediately forwarded. They relate to a most serious collision which had taken place a few days before the Science left, between her Majesty's ship Electra, 88 guns, and the French Fishermen, who, hav- ing commenced to take bait on the British ground, were warned off, but, refusing to obey, were fired upon by the Electra, stationed there for the purpose of protec- ting the British ground—when one man was killed and several wounded. This most untoward collision had excited a great sensation at St. John's, and the Gover- nor had deemed it of such importance as to forward the dispatches brought by Mr. Tobin, on the day of whose departure a French frigate had arrived to de- mand an explanation. t, ASSIZE INTELLIG ENCE.- The case of Robinson v. Bird and others, which involves the claim of the Birds to the estate of Btongham Hall, was decided on Friday, at Applehv, before Mr. Justice Wightman, in favour of the plaintiff, with 40s. damages. The Birds are thus defeated. The evidence against theii claim was exceedingly strong.— At the Surrey Assizes, on Friday, Feargtis O'Connor brought an action against the Times newpaper for a libel, charging him as a venal and time-serving public cha>acter," in having at two Miection-t for Nottingham, one between Mr. J. Stuige and Wr. Walter, sen., and second between Mr. Walter, jun., and Mr. Gisborne, received money for lec. turing on behalf of Liberal Candidates, and al«o with having received 51. for an active agent on behalf of Mr. Stnrge, to whom he only paid 3L, putting the remaining 2t. in his own pocket, thereby calling in question his honesty and veracity. Chief Justice Tindal, in summing up, told the jury if they believed that defendants ebargtd plaintiff with having ern. bezzled the money stated, he was entitled to a verdict to the amount of the injury sustained by that publication. The jnry returned a verdict for plaintiff, damages 20s., and a* the Learned Jud.;e refused to certify, both parties have to pay their own costs !At the Staffordshire Assizes, Arthur O'Neil was found guilty of sedition, and sentenced to twelve months imprisonment.—At the same Assizes, Eli Salmon, aged 20, and William Palin, 18, were convicted of violating the person of Hannah Sutton, a married woman, with six children, and sentence of death was recorded against them. —At the Chester Assizes, James IJatcliffe, all old man, was convicted of the deliberate murder of his wife. It was proved that prisoner was addicted to intemperance, and was in constant practice of maltreating the deceased—her sou, who in vain remonstratell on the profligacy of his eon- duct, obtained separate lodging for her at Stockport, hoping to secrete her from his father's violence, but he discovered her residence, and whilst she was giving him a cup of water, he stabbed her iu the abdomen with a clasp knife. Sentence of Death was passed,, with an intimation that any mitigation of punishment was impossible.-At the same Assizes, a ruffian, named William Hutt, was convicted of the man- slaughter of his wife, by striking her wi'h his tbts and kicking on the head and breasts, in consequence of a qua) ret arising from family disagreement, and sentenced to trans- portation forlife.—At the Croydon Assizes, William Thornton, aged 23, leather-finisher, Richard Hill, 22, labourer, and Cornelius Crawley, 19, labourer, were indicted for feloniously assaulting and -obbing on the highway Mr. George Smith, at Newington, and taking from his peison one 101. Hank of England note, about 24 or 26 sovereigns, and t'lght bills of exchange of the value of above 2501. They were all trans- ported for life. HtMTS TO THE FAIR SEX. — We understand that the unmarried gentlemen of Northumberland have resolved to form themselves into an association, to be denominated the "Shirt and Pie Club," Ih.. principal object of which is to insure suitable wives. To effect ttti", each member s bound, under a penalty of SOL., not to marrv any laly who cannot, by two credible witnesses, be proved to he able to cut out and sew a shirt, make a pie, and darn a pair of stockings; and he must within six months after his marriage, under a similar p nalty, be able to establish that his lady has made at least a dozen of shirts, baked a dozen of pies, and darned a^dozen pair of stockings. The idea has been borrowed from a club in the south, where the scheme has been emineutly successful, as the young ladies, seeing that what in mo- dern parlance are usually denominated accomplishments, were at a discount, turned rheir attention to what was really useful, and were consequently rewarded with good husbands.—Berwick paper. DREADFUL EXPLOSION OF GAS.-A most alarming accident took place on Friday evening, between nine and ten o'clock, in Rosamond-street, Clerkenwell, through an escape of gas, which originated in a most remarkable way. A gentleman lighted his cigar at the gas projecting from Mr. Jones's, green-grocer, in Rosamond.street, and threw the lighted paper on the pavement, which blew down the grating of the common sewer, and an instantaneous explosion of gas took place, resembling a discharge of artillery, causing the most frightful consternation for many hundred yards round the spot, and fears were entertained that many lives had been lost; hnt, though in a densely-populated neighbour- hood, we are happy t" learn that those fears were groundless, though the damage done to property is very extensive. The windows of the London Spa public-house, corner of Exmouth and Rosamond-street Mr. Varnain's, grocer, Rosamond-street; Mr. Parnall, cheesemongpr, Myddleton- street; the house of the Commissioners of Sewers, and numerous dwellings in Exmonth-street and the streets ad- joining were shattered to pieces, and the pavement torn np, strewing the places adjacent with fragments of stone. One man was blown a considerable distance, and was for a short time stunned, but received no further injury. An old woman, who keeps an apple-stall close to the shop of Mr. Punnell, had a most extraordinary escape. She was sitting on the pavement with her basket of fruit, which was thrown about in all directions, and she herself escaped unhurt, although the flag-stones around her were torn lip. Five engines were promptly in attendance, and at the same time several men in the service of the Chartered Gas Company came to examine the pipes, which they found close to the irrnption perfectly secure.

< M P E K I AL P A. RLIAM E NT.- HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY, AUG. 14.—Their Lordships met at five o'clock, when several bills were forwarded in their respective stages. Lord Wharncliffe, in moving that the Report on the Theatres Regulation Bill be received, said he had re-considered the clause preventing the acting of Shakspeare's plays, except in the patent theatres, and he entirely disapproved of it; he should, therefore, withdraw the clause; and the 7th clanse was accordingly ex- patiged.- Lord Contl)bell proposed an amendment rotative to the 15th clause, but after some discussion it was withdrawn till the third reading of the Bill. The Report was received. THE REVENUE.—Lord Monteagle then rose to bring forward the resolutions, of which he had given notice, with respect to the present state of the revenue of the country. [The resolutions will be found in our Parliamentary digest, p. 4.J_The Noble Lord supported the resolution in a speech of considerable length, em- bracing a variety of details, and in which he expressed dis- appointment that the expectations held out of a surplus revenue of half a million had been met by an actual deficiency of 2,421,000/. -The Duke of Wellington, although fully admitting the dis- appointment of his own as wall as his colleagues' expectations in the amount of revenue, could not consent to take a desponding view of the national finances, and went through the various arti. cles included in the Cuntora* and Excise to explaiu the deficiency and find grounds for hope of returning prosperity. He defended the course pursued by Government in tbe management of the funded and unfunded debt, and although regretting that the neces- sities of past years had induced the practice or appUing all that couid be rendered available, the balance in the Exchequer was considerably greater than during last year. He concluded by moving a negative to the resolutions — ljord Brougham also at great length, and in a tone of bitter vindictive, opposed the adop- tion of the resolutions.—Marquis of Clanricarde followed, and observed, that he never knew a Budget which was so great a ed failure as that of last year, or one which had deserved the praise bestowed upon its auihor.—Lord Monteagle replied, he would not divide the House at present on the resolutions but as there had been raised an issue upon matters of fact, he would take a future opportunity of enabling their Lordships to judge of the facts. After a short conversation the resolutions were negatived without a division. TUESDAY, AUG. 15 —The Theatres Regulation Bill was, after a short discussion, read a third time and passed. IRISH ARMS* BILL. The Duke of Wellington then moved the second reading of this bill, and stated very shortly its provisions to their Lordships—Lord Camoys opposed the bill. and, al- though opposed to the repeal of the Union, thought the people of Ireland would be unworthy of liberty if they did not agitate for the redress of their manifold grievances —Lord Winchilsea spoke in indignant terms of the proposed destruction of the Protestant establishment in Ireland, in spite of the sacred promises by which they had been taught to believe that it would be held inviolnte; and claimed credit for the fulfilment of the predictions he had so constantly made during the debates upon the Relief Bill.—The Marquis of Lansdowne, with whatever doubts as to the elficaov of Arms Bills, could not bring himself to withdraw from the Go- vernment anv power which it considered necessary to preserve the peace, although he defended the pertinacity with which the bill had been opposed in the other House, and rejoiced at the mi- tigation of many of its enactments. At the same time be lamented the absence of remedial measnres which should strike at the root of the evil it was now proposed not to remove, but to coerce and suggested a provision for the Roman Catholic Clergy as an im- portant step in the right direction—Lord Brougham was one of those who held cheap the predictions against Catholic emanci- pation, and he was still perfectly ready to defend both the princi- pie and the result of that measure. The Noble Lord insisted, that by the Roman Catholic oath, all Roman Catholics were boaud not to disturb the Established Church.—Lord Camoy* said that the oath could not bind peers in their legislative capacity.— The Earl of Shrewspuiy said he would not consent to sit in the House under such a construction as that which Lord Brougham had placed upon tbe Catholic oath.—Lord Beaumont, as a Catholic Peer, disclaimed all intention of dllllurbillg the Established Cborch.— Lord Campbell referred to several tuthoritiestoprore that the interpretation put upon the oath by Lord Camoys was the correct one the oath was similar to that taken by the Monarch at the time of his or her coronation and if it were to be construed in the way now attempted, how could the royal assent have been given to the Irish Temporalities Act, which did away with eight bishops and two archbishops? The bill was opposed by the Marquises of Ileadfort and Clanricarde, and supported by the Marquis of Londonderry. It was then read a second time without a division, and ordered to be committed on Thursday The Poor Belief (Ireland) bill was read a second time, and after some other bills had been forwarded a stage, the House adjourned to Thursday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY, AUG. H.—Tbe House met at twelve o'clock, when several bills were forwarded a stage. CHELSEA HOSPITAL OUT-PENSIONERS BILL.-On the order of the day for the Committee on this bill, Mr. Hume, objected that it was disorderly, there having been no vote of the House fixing the number of soldiers to be thus called out by the Crown, ¡ and no Mutiny Act comprehending any such soldiers.-Sir H. Hardinge answered, that though these men were not specified in the Mutiny Act, yet they. and all other persons, when called out into military service by the Crown, became liable to the Mutiny Act, ipsoffleto. This was the case with every regiment of veo- manry or volunteers.—Mr. T. Duncombe denounced this bill as an insidious attempt of the Government to undermine still further the liberties of the people. He moved that the bill should be committed on that day six months.—Mr. Williams spoke on the same side, and, in conclusion, expressed an apprehension that the Qneen's troops might refuse to act against rioters. — Sir H. Hardinge desired to lose no time in affirming the fidelity of the army, who, he assured the House, would be found loyal and in- corruptible. He vindicated the principle of a standing army, and the absolute necessity of such a force under the present consti- tution of this country —Mr. Roche was not surprised that the last days of a session, in which nothing had been done for the people, should be spent in providing against their probable discontent. Bui this provision should have been made, not by the sword, but by reason and justice. If this bill were passed, he hoped it would be a useful lesson to the British people to see that the same legislature which was so ready to coerce Ireland was willing to coerce England —Mr. Bright was adverse to standing armies. He wished that the Government, instead of relying on such an instrument for quieting tbe people, would redress their grievances. — Mr. Protheroe believed that liberty had much less to fear fiom a standing army than from popular violence.—Mr. Cobden dis- claimed, on the one hand, all fear of standing armies, and on the other, all wish for tbe alliance with the soldiers. The wav to prevent discontent was to provide employment.—After some fur- ther discussion, the House divided.—For the order of the day 92, against it 13, majority 79.—The House having gone into Commit- tee on the bill, Sir R. Peel explained that the bill gives power, not to call out more of the pensiohers than might be summoned under the existing law, but only to select the effective men, instead of summoning the whole body. It enabled Ihe Government to employ the pensioners only when, and only so long as, the neces- sity ol the public peace should require it; and it was better and cheaper to employ this kind of force than to bring the yeomanry into contact with the populace.—After some further discussion, the Chairman reported progress, and the House adjourned. TUESDAY, AUG. 15.—The House met at twelve o'clock, when a renewed discussion ensued upon the Chelsea Pensioners bill. The arguments advanced, pro and con, were similar to those of the preceding evening, and, after two or three divisions the further progress of the bill was adjourned. COLONIZATION.—Mr. C. Butler brought under the notice of the House the subject of Colonization, and submitted a plan to carry his views into effect.—Mr. Hope (Under Secretary to the Colonies) having intimated that the whole subject would undergo the consideratiou of the Government, Mr. Buller expressed him- setf satisfied and withdrew the motion. GancF. AND SERVIA.-The remainder of the evening was occupied with discussion on tbe affairs of Greece and Servia, arising from a motion, by Lord Palmerston, for the production of some papers relative to those states.—Sir R. Peel having stated that these papers could not be produced without prejudice to tbe public interest, Lord Palmerston said he would not press his motion to a division.—Adj

SWANSEA. FRIDAY, AUG. 18. IT has been to us a cause of much astonishment and deep regret, to witness the strike of the Coppermen upon our river. In almost all cases, the objects of a strike are not gained. The men who have turned out are generally obliged, after spending very often the savings of jears, to resume their work at reduced wages, or are thrown out of employment altogether. The only justification workmen can have for turning Out, is a conviction that their masters are imposing upon them-that they are getting a profit out of all; proportion to the wages of the men they employ. Now, we ask the Coppermen ot Swansea, if upon a calm consideration of their case, they feel thoroughly persuaded that they are not being fairly dealt with- that their masters are receiving from them the greatest quantity of labour with the least possible wages ? We say to them. in the first place, as Mr. Vivian did, a fort- night ago—Consider the present state of trade, as com- pared with what it was not long ago. Iron, which used to sell at 121. per ton, will now only fetch 41. copper, which sold twelvemonths since at 12d. per lb.. is now selling at 9d. Thus, the price of copper bas. fallen off one-fourth, and yet the men employed in the trade seem to think that the masters can still afford to keep up the old rate of wages. They forget that this falling-off in the price of copper leaves no profit, so that the proprietors are positively losing by their works. Such being the case, the masters endeavour to keep on their hands during bad times, and ask them to consent to a small reduction in their wages. This proposition is only met by a strike, the effect of which is to cause great inconvenience and farther loss, by the furnaces being allowed to go out. It appears, when the trade was prosperous, a metal furnace-man re- ceived 30s. a-week, and when the trade is in a most unfavourable state, it is purposed to pay him 22s. a-week, being a reduction of a little more than one- fourth We say, such a workman, in such a state of the trade, has no right to complain. It is true, he works hard, but he must not forget that even big. diminished wages are a great contrast to those received by any agricultural labourer in the country. He must also recollect, that the common labourer is rarely so leniently dealt with, as he can never hope for work when his labour is scarcely productive of profit to his employer. In our opinion, therefore, there is no real ground of complaint for the Coppermen, and their refusal to consent to a reduction in their wages, we consider foolish and unadvised. We beg to remind them, that, in consequence of the strikes amongst workmen, machines have often been invented to per- form the labour which was before entirely manual. They may, unintentionally no doubt, be the cause of the application of a new invention to some process connected with the copper manufacture—the effect of it upon themselves they can easily imagine. The play, the chief acts of which have just been per- formed upon the stage of Spain, is as extraoadioary as any that have been exhibited even in that country, where revolutions follow each other in the most rapid succession. Seldom has the world witnessed a quicker descent than Espartero's little more than two- months ago, we saw him, as Regent, take a step which seemed a proof of his confidence in the strength of his Government. He determined to oppose the bostiie majority of the Cortes, to reject the Lopez ministry, and to throw himself upon the country. The result shows the imprudence and miscalculation of his designs. The only means by which he could accomplish them was the army, the greater part of vthich immediately deserted him. This ignorance or the sentiments of the soldiers was the cause of his overthrow. He has in his defeat displayed none of that address that was for- merly so conspicuous in him, and which raised him to the highest civil and military eminence. fit the early part of his career, he acquired military fame by his distinguished conduct against the rebellious American colonists of Spain. In the New World he was most renowned for his personal bravery and IIIE: impttuottS valour; but, at home. although he has always, when occasions demanded it, maintained his old reputation, his conduct has heeti more marked by artifice and in- trigue. In the various commands he has held in hi own country, he rarely met the enemy boldly face t face, but has always appeared more desirous to avet peril by inaction. However, by the aid of circtf stances, and the use of the most wily acts of policy^c succeedcd in elevating himself to the commallllern- cliief, and ultimately to the Regency, The -ite' scenes of the Regency have been characterised bin- ertness and cruelty.
