MADELINE S.NI[TH.-A tradesman in this town (say s the Bt,r?ci.-L, Advertiser) having a eorrespond- cat in Glasgow, wrote there to inquire whether the report Le had heard here was true, to the effect that it was proposed to raise by sub3criptio)i the sum of.C2.0UO to be presented to this unfortunate gM, as an expression of public sympathy. He has received, in reply, the information tnat the subscription is intended to he made, but that it is not limited to any sum, and la as likely to be LIO,000 as le-s. That an address is about being presented to her father M herein the tradesmen of Glas,ow witt express their esteem for him as a neighbour, and sympathy for his family under the present afSietion, and a hope that he will forego the intention of expatriating himself on account of an occurrence which reflects no discredit on him. VERY IMPORTANT FROM KANSAS.—Our readers are aware that since the inauguration M r Buehanan the Kansas border ruman pro-slavery party of poor Pierce has been superseded by a democratic party resting upon the national principles of the democra- tic party of the Union. This party have just held their territorial convention for the nomination of their candidate for congress and as an evidence of the way the democratic wind is blowing in that quarter, the said convention substantially resolved, by a vote of forty to one, that the stat9 constitu- tion which the approaching constitutional conven- tion is expected to adopt (pro-slavery) wd[ not be considered a valid instrument until it shall have received the ratification of a popular vote. This looks very much like a hearty approval bytheKan- sas democracy of the course of Governor Walker, and very much like a sign of the course that may be anticipated from the approaching constitutional convention.—.iVw Yorlo: Herald.

GEORGE IH.—The rcactiontry movement was greatly aided by the personal character of George the III. for he, being despotic as well as super- stitious. was anxious to extend the prerogative, and strengthen the Church. Every liberal sentm.ent, everything approAchin g to refer m, nay, even the mere mention of inquiry, was an abomination in the eyes of that narrow and Ignorant princ?. \Vithout knowledge, without taste, without even a glimpse of. one of the sciences, or .1. feeling for one of the fine arts, education had done nothing to eaiarge a mind which nature had more than usually con- tracted. To.aHy ignorant of the history and re- sources of foreign countries, and bare!y knowing their geographical position, his information wa-; scarcely more extensive respecting the people over whom he was caUed to rule. In that mass of evidence now extant, and which consists of every description of private correspondence, records of private conversation and cf public nets, there is not to be found the slightest proof that he knew any one of those numerous things which th;- gover- nor of a country ought to kr.ow; or, indeed that he was acquainted with a single duty- of jus position, except that mer.i )nceh:tnica) rouhno of Otdiiary business, which might have bct=n ejected by the towest clerk in th° meanest cmce m i;iA kingclo,ii.-Ilistory of Ciuili:1fÙm England by 2?.

Co'<TE\TMEXT.—n'j:nan life has been said to rescmbie the situation of spectators in a the;ltre; where, whilst each pe;son is engaged by t!n' scene which passes before him, no one thinks about the place in which he is scated. It is only when the business is interrupted, or when the spectator' attention to i: gro\s idie a:i(I remiss, that he he- gins to consider at a)! who is before hir", or who is behind him whdher others arc bet'er accom- modated than himself, or v/hether any be not worse. It is thus with the various ranks and stations cf society. So iosg :'s a man is intent upnn the duties and concerns of his own condition, hi; never thinks of comparing it with any ott.er; he is never troubled with the renectio-i upon the dinercnt ctasses and order-, m' toankind, -m<t advantages or di,i-t(lv.itita,-cs of each, the opcessity or non-necessity ot civli dtstinction; much less d.)es he feet within himself a disposition to cov='t ot envy any of them. He is too mu'dt taken up with the occupation of his calling, its pursuits, care" atid business, to hf-stow unprofitable meditations upon the circum- stances in which he sees others piaced. And by this means a man of ft sound and active ilirid, has in It's very constitution a remedy against the dis- turbance of envy and discontent. These passions gain no admittance into his breast, because there is no teisure there, or vacancy for the trains of thought which generate them. He enjoys, thete- fore, ease in this respect, and ease resulting from the best cause, the power of keeping his imagina- tion at home; ofconnningit to w!<at beiongs to himselt, Instead of sending it fort!) to wander amongst speculations which h)ve neither limits nor use; amidst views td unattainable grandeur, fancied happiness, of <'xto!!ed, because Inexpe- rienced, privileges and ,lelights.-Pahy.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. '_M' I THE IXDL\S )IÐTIXIES. THE INDIAN MUTINIES. The British Ind'an. humble. like the British I;anR bubble. lia= burst at last. RcpeatefUyIiave we warned the- shareholders, or, in oth"r words. the public, of what would be the result of leaving their aifairs in the directors' hand?. But our words were unheeded. as had been the words of greater men before. The delusive statements of the directors were believed because they made things pleasant; and now the nation -will have to bear the consequences of its folly and its neglect. What steps it may eventually de- cide to take against those who have so greatly misled it, It were needless to anticipate. But we feel assured that If the worst should happen that may happen, the people of these realms will he in no humour for trining with those who have brought about the crash. The revelations made to the House of Lords, by Lord Melville, on Monday night, show that the directors must have known all along that they were deceiving the country by the statements they put forth. For. what docs his lordship declare ? Why, that in 18.50—when they were driving the late Hir Charles Xapier from the command of their army for asserting (falsely, as they alleged), that it was anected largely by a thirst of mutiny, and taking the measures necessary to prevent an outbreak—the discipline of that army was, in point of fact, of the worst description. The "rossest overt acts of mutiny had been committed, and so bad was the condition of the army known to be that his lordship was Entreated not to give ut- terance to the facts in public, as it was extremely desirable that foreign nations should not be mad ? ae- quainted with the real state of atfairs. The late Sir Charles .Xapier was thus insulted—disgraced as far as the a'ts of such men could disgrace him— and hurried prematurely to his grave and all for stating what now appears to have been the simple truth, for doing that which he was imperatively bound to do in order to avert the dreadful catastro- phe which has now befallen T[s, and which for the time lie warded off. In tho whol:' rango of English lustory we know of nothing so shameful as this. Tall: of the British Bank directors and their concealments, why they were nothing, by L,)r(I Melville's account, if the consequences only be considered, to the conceal- ments of the East India directors. In that ease, the loss of a few hundred thousand pounds, and the ruin of a few dozen families, were the worst that could take place. But in the present instance, the loss in money will have to be counted in millions, tlie loss in lives will have to be recokoned in thou- sands, and the loss in prestige, in any case, will be incalculable. Any worse contingency we pray may be averted but it will not be averted if the country continues to intrust the destinies of India to the m'n bv whom the crisis has been brought about. Already, Indeed, may be seen symptoms of a dis- position to turn the state of affairs to the purposes of jobbery rather than resort to any hearty efforts to in-urc the speedy arrival, in India of the troops that are being sent out. While the government has to supply soldiers, the directors have to engage ships for them and Lord Ellenborough told the lords on Tuesday evening the kind of ships they were taking up. Instead of all the fastest vessels procurable, they were, he said, engaging, among others, a par- cel of old tubs notorious for their slow-sailing qualities. One of them, he said, to his knowledge, never used to progress at above the rate of four knots an hour. We do not know whether the prac- tice of the company is as it used to be, to make the contracts a perquisite of the directors, for the benc- fit of themselves and their friends; but. If so, it will not be surprising if their troop-ships, like every- thing else they send to India, from steamers to stationery, be at once the most costly and the most worthless of their k!ud. Meantime, it may be as well to point out tlic elfeets of the crisis, present and possible, to the nation at large. At present, then, v.-e have 32 regi- ments In a state of open revolt, besides artillery while the rest of the Bengal army is utterly incn.p.Y- Me of bciug depended on, and is as likely as not to rise upon us at any moment. In many cases the otRcers and their families have been murdered, and in others they have been driven forth with insult scarcely preferable to death. The treasury of Delhi has been plundered, besides an endless number of smaller local treasuries. The amount that fell Into the hands of the mutineers at Delhi was about seven hundred thousand pounds, and the arsenal and its contents were worth about a million more. What the amount of money seized by them elsewhere mav be, it is impossible to say. But we shall not be f- tr wrong if, at the very least, we estimate the loss already caused by the plunder of money, arms, and stores, and by the destruction of public and private property, for which the state will have eventually to *make compensation, at six millions sterling. Before the au'air Is over, it will probably have reached nearly twice that sum. Thcu, of course, the revenue of the present for the whole of the disturbed provinces will be utterly lost, which, with the falling oil' of the customs' duties, will be some millions besides. The mHita! y operations undcr- dertaken for the suppression of the revolt, including the transport of troops and stores from England, and largesses to the native soldiers who may re- main staunch to us, will not, under the most fa- vourable circumstances, be less than fifteen millions sterling more. Supposing, therefore, cvervthin"' to go on as favourably as expected, the whole loss to the nation incurred through the misconduct or incompetence of th" directors will probably not be less than thirty millions sterling, if it do not exceed that sum. In the meantime, their paper is utterly unsaleable in India; th" native capitalists are drawing out their money from the government banks; a.nd there are tidings of commercial failures on every side. These thirty millions w:H, there- fore. have to be paid most like!v by the people here -1'1. p¡ CS$. ————— VICTIMS OF JUSTtCE. Evidence which has appeared sufHeicnt tojtistify conviction, or even posit ve execution of sentence, ha.s in son.C cases turned out to he a sunpfe mis- take. The number of these cases is very great. Looking to Europe atone, and not going- back for more than two centuries, we could bring forward at least 200 case's, in a )arp:e proportion of which sentence has been executed. We w;tl notice a very tew of these casas. One of the tnost inter" tins is that of E)!eu GI))(.t, a young, han<bomr" g;irj, at Bourg en Bresse, in Franc: who, in 16-2.5 was ccndenmcd to death for Infanticide. But puhhc opinion heHeved so strongh' in hf-r ir.no- cenee that evot the executioner had not the cour- age to strike in co!d blood, and thus twice missed his a:!n. 1'heu a frightfu) scene ensued.

The jury declared them guilty, and nine persons wcro condemned to death, and were ordered for execution. Fortunatciv, the particulars of the ease, attracted the attention of Alien Ramsay, the poet, who proved to the satis- faction of all the world that the persons convicted n-ere perfectly innocent, and that the girl Canning had got up a story to account for an otherwise un- accountab)e child to whom she afterwards gave birth. Of Admiral Byng's execution, four years i after, we will not speak, as it was more a political than a judicial murder; and the same objection applies to the execution of Struensee, the Danish minister of state. Of all innocent persons ever con- victed, Jean Calas has found the most brilliant ad- vocate in Voltaire's pen, so that Jean Calas's nune is cited now wherever injustice is mentioned, The case, however, of John Joinings, who was ex- ecutcd in HuI!,17C3.for n highway robbery, of which be was altogether guiltless, is quite asstron"- an argument against the Infallibility of the twelve good men and true." Yet in England, poor inno- cent John Jennings is not hatfsomuch hmentej as Joseph Lesurques, who was innocently convi ted and executed for highway robbery and murder in 1706, and whose story has been made up in novels, ballads, and melodramatic shows oye< <nd r over :i"'aln, in England as well as In France: Inno- cent, most probably, were also the three Ash erofts and Wi)llam Holden, executed in 1S17, at Man- chester. Balzac has proved the innocence of the ¡ public notary, Teyte], executed in 1838 for murder. But no author vet thought it worth while to prove the innocence of the score of miserable Jews, who were accused in Damascus, in t840, of eating alive a reverend priest, the Padre Thomas, and who were beaten to death and tortured until they confessed a murder which they could not have com- mitted. It is interesting to ]<no\v. that in some of thess cases, the convict, although innocent of the crime i hputed, has been guilty of every irregular, some- times of criminal, conduct. But there is a wide step between some kinds of ilagrant Immorality, and murderous intentions and it is rather a re- markable incident, that in the whole mass of evi- dence brought forward at the Edinburgh trial, there is no trace of any homicidal disposition on the part of the prisoner. Tht're are many traces of such a feehug on the part ff L' Angelier.Leader.

Brought to justice, the prisoners had atrcady confessed their crime and revealed the names of their accomplices. The Go- vernment notwithstanding suspended the proceed- ings against tliem. in order that the eclat of the process might not be regarded as a m( avts of inilu- encing the result of the elections which were about to take place. The proceedings ate now resumed, and an ordinance of the Judge of Instruction has sent before the Chamber of Accusation all the pri- soners arrested, with their accomplices. Their names are Tibsidi, Barto!otti, Griili (otherwise Saro), Mazzini, Ledru R"t)iu, Mazarcnti, and CampaneHa. The presence of Count Xesseh-ode in Patis has given ri-se to all sorts of conjectures, even the very wildest. He cannot be there, however, in any public capacity, and as he is no longer Min- ister, and as there is a regular Russian e't.bassy at Paris, it would be very strange indeed if he realty were entrusted with some particular mission of im- portance on the part of his Sovereign. It is known that the interview, much desired on both sides, be- tween Louis Napoteon and the Emperor Alexander still requires some indirect negotiations to settle previous points of etiquette, but is scarceiy with this object that Count Xesstdrode is now in Paris. Lord Palmerston's declarations with tegard to the Kuez Canal continue to occupy public attention in France.

MlMTARY OUTRAGE AT CHATHAM.—A SCrioUS outrage, perpetrated by some s.ddin's ùelonin\' to the 27th and 7Uth Regiments, took place in Chatham on Tuesday night.

Shovel public-hnuae in Chatham, they had haif-a-gallon of beer, f.,r which they refused to pay. Eventu- ally they were ejected from the house, after doing considerable mischief and destroying everything they could lay their hands on. From thence they proceeded to Cage -Lane, and tore down a stone wa! and having therefrom armed themselves with. stones, they proceeded across the lines to New Urontpton, doing considerable damage, and break- iu); suyern.1 windows and n!armi!ig the neighbour- bond. Between one and two next morning, they returned to Chatham, and broke several panes of piate glass at the Old Barn, when some civilians and navigators interfered, and a general row ensued between them, which ended in a light. Two of the navvies who were very much injured were re- moved to a house fur surgical assistance. The em- barkation took place at Gravesend;4S pi-izioilers (ringleaders in the above outrage), were marched, handcuffed, through the streets to the railway statiofTat Strood, to embark at Uravesend.

IMPERIAL. PARLIAMENT. I HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAY. I AFKtCAX SLAVE TRAUE. I Lord Buoucn \.M moved an address to the Crown on the subject oi'the African slave trade in connec- tion with the measures adopted by the French Go- vernment in respect thereto. The noble lord sup- ported his motion by recapitulating and comment- ing upon a detail of circumstances which have already obtained general publicity, and undergone discussion in both Houses of Parliament. The Earl of Malmcsbury harmg spoken, and Lord Brougham replied, the motion was agreed to. f CRIMINAL I.W The scries of bills, eight in number, introduced j by the Lord Chancellor for the consolidation of J various branches of the criminal law, wre passed through committee. I Other bills ha.viug bcMi advanced a stage then' I lordship;! adionrncd. liouse OF COMMONS.—FinDAY. I ADMISSMX OF JEWS TO I Lord J. RusKELT. inquired what course the Go- vernment intended to pursue with respect to the h)Il which he intended to ask leave to Introduce, namely, the (Jaths Validity Act Amendment Bill. The no- ble lord was proceeding to remark upon the nature and purport of his measure, when he was interrup- ted upon the point of order, and therefore contented himself with asking whether the Ministers could give him a day for the discussion of his bill. Lord 1'Ai.MEitS rox remarked that the days of the session were numbered, and many important mea- sures still hung on hand. He could not name a day for the proposed bill, until the ministerial business was further advanced. INDIA.. Mr. DisRAEH after remarking upon the gravity of the circumstances that had lately occurred, in India, and on the delay in producing the official papers connected with the subject, inquired when the documents would he ready, and on what day the government were willing to have the question dis- cussed. Lord PAMfERSTOx said that the papers were pre- paring and would be issued in a few days. As another overland Mail was due in the course of next week, which would in all probability bring very important intelligence, he proposed to take the In- dian debate on Monday week. This arrangement was accepted by Mr. Disraeli, and the discussion was ordered to stand for the day named. THE MILITIA. On the motion for going into committee of sup- ply, Mr. Bentinck called attention to the defenceless state in which the country would be left after the departure of so many regiments to the East. He asked whether the militia were to be called out. Lord FALMEmiTox believed that an ample force would remain for home defence, without incurring the cost of embodying the militia. THE FEUStAX W.\J: The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved a resolution granting £;)OO,OOU towards the expenses incurred in the 1'ersian war. Glancing at the po- litical occurrences out of which the war had arisen, and explaining the financial arrangements that had been concluded with the East India Company, Sir <j. (J. Lewis stated that in addition to the vote now asked for a further sum of ;E30U,000 was computed to be required to defray all the cost of the operations in Persia, X400,000 for the war in Chinn, and ;C10U,(JUO for the additional naval charges. After remarks from Mr. Gladstone, Lord J. Rus- sell, Lord I'ahnerston, and Mr. DIsraeli, the discus- sion, which became considerably confused and as- sunied a personal character, was continued for some time. At last the vote was agreed to, as were the following votes X400,000 for tile war in China, and 2,000 seamen for the increased naval force. The remaining business was disposed of, and the house adjourned at two o'clock. HOUSE OF LORDS.—MoXDAY. MEIMEY CO:SmWA:\CY BILL. The Duke of NEWCASTLE then moved the second reading of the bill, observing that after the decision of the house in the last case, their lordships would at least consent to send it to a committee, where its merits could be properly investigated. He went through the history of the town dues, contending that they had been misapplied to municipal instead of shippmg purposes; and after a. most elaborate argument in its favour, he urged that the adoption of the measure, in its present shape, would be to the advantage both of .Liverpool and the country at large. Lord RAVExswoRTH strongly urged their lordships to reject the bill, contending that although it had been referred to a committee of the House of Com- mons, that-investigation was entered into with a foregone conclusion. Any measure of this sort ought to have been founded upon the principle of compensation, but that had been completely ignored so that property obtained by the corponmun. of Liverpool by purchase was now deliberately pro- posed to be confiscated. Under these circumstan- ces he moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Lord Wenslcydale, the Marquis of Clanricarde, the .Earl of Derby, Lord Stanley of Alderlev, and Lord Redesdate having spoken, the house divfded— For the second reading 23 against 15-S. The bill was read a second time. The bills on the paper were then advanced a sta"-e and the house adjourned at 9 2.). HOUSE OF CmnlOXS.-1IoxD.u. DHPKfCE OF THE COUNTRY. Mr. LEXTixcn called attention to the present state of the defences of the country, which he maintained, owing to the demand upon the army and navy for the Chinese H'arand India, were reduced to a dan- gerously low standard. Lord A. VAXE TEMPEST called upon government to declare what steps they intended to take to replace the troops sent out to India, expressing h:s opinion that enlistment by recruiting would fail, and that recourse must be had to the militia. Mr. 'VILLLBI:! thought the government were the best judges of their wants, and no doubt would ask the house for an increase of the army if they found it necessary to do so. Colonel Kxox. hoped that government wouldloac no time in making provision to meet the loss that must shortly happen from casualties. Lord l'AL)lE1I.STOX said he had always been anxious to impress upon parliament the necessity of providing properly for the defences of the country, and he felt contident that parliament would always meet the call made upon them in an emergency. He, however, saw no necessity at present for mak- ing any addition to the force placed at the disposal of government at the commencement of the year but if a great emergency arose during the recess in India, it would be easy to call parliament together again, and ask for their assistance and eo-opcration. 'ith regard to the militia, it would be a most ex- pensive method of recruiting the army to call out the militia for training during 56 days in order to gain a few volunteers from each regiment; and there was no likelihood of any European war to justify their embodiment. j CONVEYANCE 01' TROOl'S TO IXDIA. -Air..LtXDSAY made some remarks upou the con- veyance of troops to India, in which he claimed a saving of one-third in time in favour of screw st.ea:nei's over sailing vessel: Sir C. XjL"iER. censured the conduct of "'ovcrn- ment in not keeping up the channel ncct at Sic con- clusion of th(,-Iaz;t war, and called upon thcmnow to obtain as in:my met chant scrcv.' ships as possible for ths eonycyance of troops, the early amval of winch in India might be of inuumsc importance. After some other business had been disposed of' the house adjourned. HOUSE OF J.OltDS.-TuEsD"Y, REMOVAL or JEWISH DMAJitLITIFS I Lord CAMFHELL called the attention of the house to the present state of the question whether Jews were entitled to sit in parliament, and asked the Lord Chancellor a question in reference to the cause in error, Solomons v. Miller," now pendin- in the House of Lords. Upon this appeal depended the question whether, by the existing law, a Jew could lawfully sit in parliament. The question was whether the phrase, "upon the true faith of a Christian," was the mode of taking the oath or a part of the oath. He had himself often voted for the admission of Jews to parliament; but sittin" as a judge, he was clearly of opinion that no person could be allowed to sit in parliament without takin"- the oath in the form prescribed. It would be eon° trary to all law, and a usurpation for the House of Commons to instruct their clerk to administer the oath to Baron Rothschild omitting the words upon the true faith of a Christian." The case of Air. Pease was not analogous to this case. Mr. Pease took his seat according to the law. The House of Commons, if they passed the resolution, could not prevent sections being brought to recover penalties for aittting and voting if the oath was not taken in the manner prescribed. If such a resolution was adopted, a revolution would he begun in this coun- try winch would lead to very senous consequences. Re had, however, very great conuJenee in the nrm- ncss of Lord 1'almerstonto resist such aproposition, for while the judgment of the Court of Exchequer remained, it was only by act of parliament that the Jews could be admitted. The LoRD CHANCELLOR said the debate stood over at the joint petition of both parties until the 15th of August, but whether it could then be brought in he could not say. After some observations from Lord Brougham, the subject dropped, and the house adjourned at eight p.m. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY. I REMOVAL OF JEWISH LIABILITIES. ,,1 The Si'BAKEU. called upon Lord John Kusseli, when Mr. XKWi'EHA.TE took the objection, that such a blU us that of the noble lord, inasmuch as it an'cct- cd the privileges of the house, ought, according; to precedent, to have been preceded by a resolution submitted to a committee of the whole house,' and appealed to the Speaker for his opinion upon the point. LordJ. RussKi,L said lie did not propose to make any alteration in the oath. The Si'E AKEU. ruled that it was not necessary to found the hill upon a resolution of the house. Lord J. Ru-ssELL then proceeded to ask leave for the introduction of his bill, contending that the ex- traordinary circumstances of the case rendered some such solution of the question necessary; as it had I; never before happened that a measure so highly approved of hv that house had been so repeatedly rejected by the House of Lords. The removal ot j Jewish disabilities was the one thing wantmg to complete the triumph of civil and religions liberty in this country. But it seemed aa if nothing but a state of things verging on disaffection would bring the Lords to assent; and it deeply au'ectcd the dignity and privileges of that house, that, after repeatedly passing a t.iH by large majorities, they should now allow themselves to be bamed by the opposition of the other house. The house, it seemed to him, had power to decide by resolution tliat the words formed no part of the substance of the oath, and so to permit Bhron Roth-child to take his scat after taking the oath in a manner binding on his conscience, but he thought it better to proceed by a bill in order to avoid future dispute, if the consent of both houses could bo obtained. Everything, however, depended upon government, for with their aid he thought the opposition of the other house might be overcome, .lie concluded by asking leave to bring in a bill to amend the act 1 arid :1 Victoria, chapter 108, intituled "An act to remove doubts as to the validity of certain oaths." After considerable discussion, in which Mr. AVal- pole, Mr. Dillwyn, Mr. Gilpin, Mr. Ncwdcgate, and Mr. Packc took part, Lord PAMtEnsTox said he should support the motion, but reserved his further opinion uutil he had considered the provisions of the bill. He and his colleagues were desirous of settling the question, and if the measure was such that government could forward it in its other stages they would, but they could not postpone other business for that purpose. After remarks from Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Wliite- side, and Mr. Horsman, the house divided-For the motion 24:6 Against it 154-92. Leave was consequently given to bring in the bill. AGRICULTL'HAI. STATISTICS. Mr. C'Ainn then moved for leave to bring in a bill for the collection, of agricultural statistics, observ- ing that he had no hope of passing the measure this session, but he desired that it might he circu- lated for the consideration, of the country during the recess. After a short discussion, leave was given to bring in the bill, and the house adioumcd. HOUSE OF rUBLIC CHAMTIES BILL. Mr. II.RDCASTi.]-: moved the second reading of the I'uhlie Charities Dii), the object of which, he explained, was t) It,ssen the expenses arising from the appointmentof uew trustees to charity property. Sir J.TROLi,"rE ai<l the bill was t'D impcrtanr to be considered in so sm )U a house, or at so late a period ot the session, and he therefore moved that the bill he time that day three months. Mr. M.\ssEY seconded the amendment, and the i bi]I '.v:s negatived without a division. HCHIAT. ACTS AMUXDMEXT Bir.L. The house then went into cotumit.U'eont'tH bil).

AG-RICUJLTUKE. i{nv!E\v OF THE CORl TuAHE DURING THE WEHK.— (From the J[ark La;7c -r,,rl)ress). Another week's highly favourable weaker, witn some refreshing rain, has brought the country, af. tcr a period of great anxiety, totheveryverg.' of harvest. As respects wheat, opinion others strength—notwithstanding some real abatementa muLh exaggerated—titat it will ))e rather over the average ia this country. Reports arc still more de- cided from all parts of France, as to there being a great crop on the ground. Nor are these cheerin"- prnspects timited to ourselves or our neighbours. It is the stme in Spain, Ita)y, Algeria, Enypt, the Principalities, and Southern Rusjia, while sli Ame- rica c(,iifirais the prospc'-t of p)ent.y. Southern Europe, too, ha3 favourably eoinnu-ueed, but the great buik awaits it., Matutity ami .final ingather- ing. -Let us hope that in .Hr.triin, ns wcU as in every pirt where human wants arc fcit, all will be safely stoted. St:U, last year'" heav. and ccn- tinued rains remind us of possible changes, while the universal deficiency of stuck is convincing that old wheat nimt be scarce, and in great demand for mixing. What the difference of vatue will be' as compared with new, it ii: impossible to foresee but the best samples seem iikely to be relatively dear. There is, however, some abatement already to be made fur the prospective increase. The new crop of Rye in Northern Europe, from ita earlincss and long exposure to easterly winds, is decidedly of inferior quality and defective yie)d. As this is the main dependence of the poor, a large void will have to be made up by other cereals, which have nowhere so good a. promise as wheat. The good appearance of grain lias everywheie told upon holders, who have been more ready to clear their stocks, though some country tnarkets have still gone short. Indcpendent.ly of supplies, prices have retrograded, and a decline of fully 3<. per qr. has been generally conceded. In France, where the range has been relatively higher, rates have be- come greatly reduced and quite irregular, and all over the Continent the s'a]e has been descending. America has kept comparatively firm, having taken the n'st and best opportunity to quit her surplus. In maize afloat there have been about ten car°goes quitted at prices varying from 33s. 6d. to 3Gs. per qr., chieny from the Danube ami Odessa. One cargo of Syrian barley has been placed at 25. 3d. and one of Odessa at 2Js. Two or three cwoes of L,Ytian beans have also Lean sold at 355, to oas 6d. with one for Liverpool for 3.5s. 9d. The sates noted last week were 75,992 qrs wbê;t, at 6:!s ]0d, against 75,249 qrs last season. The Lon- don average was 67s ad on 1,6CO qrs. The imports Into the ptincipal porh of Great Britain, in wheat and nour, 10)- the week ending Sth July, were 57,G;n qrs. The month of June's imports 6t whent into the United Kingdom were 313,640 qrs, and in flour 9i,077 cwts.

SuiC)J)K OF AK' ODDFELLOWS J-.()I)G-: TREASURKH AT HoLTOK.—On Friday evening, an inquest was held before Mr. Taylor, borough coroner, Botton, on the body ot'Tho.'nas Tay ior, of Oid Acres, a;,ed 7o.

Tm; IW LIOUSF, OF P.\n.LiAMEXT.—The time is now come when judgment call bo ftiriy farm- ed, by the unprofessional eye -to which a:<;httt'c- tuta.1 "elevations" and projections" are hopeh'ss mysteries—upon the total and final effect of thu new Houses of Parliament from certain points of view, and it may be well to poirt out to a public proYerbialiy indifferent to the excellence of what is thf'ir own. the fact that theirmetropolis new anbrds an architectural coup d'œil such as, for magnifi- cencf, it is no exaggerations to say the worid ean- not match. The three principal towers, respective- ly of the height of 310, 320, and 300 feat, as SC3n for example, from Westminster-bridge, constitute in combination with the various minor elevations of the louvres, or smokeshatts, and the raised roofs of the exttemities of the edifice a spectacle wlueh we imagine that few persons can have looked upon for the first time without a powerful emotion of wonder and delight. From this point of view thevastnessofthe masses, the eye-exeitin"' alti- tude to which they soar,and the strong but harmon ized contrasts in which they stand to each other are elements of efftCt that arescarnejy at aH di- minished by the frippery of th" ornamentat'on which is, in fact, entirely overwhelmed by these mb!e and forcible features. Let us candidly con- fess that this one view is a magnificence not wholly disproportionate to the prodigious Rost of money at which we have purchased it; and let us not refuse to enjoy the sight of it for reasons which, if allow- cd to influence us in other eases, would deprive us of the power of deriving pleasure from some of the greatest efforts of ancient architectural art.A's- tioiza[PLeviett!.

The poor man immediately confessed to the house that ho gave to Anthony Gar;and, mayor of the said town, of Westbury, and one Watts, of the same, £1 for his place in parliament. Upon which an order was made that the said Garland and Watts should repay unto the said Thomas Lon. the £4 they had of him.

XAHROW ESCAPE FROM PoisoNiNG. —Last Wed- nesday forenoon, a woman of the name of Syme residing about the Glassworks Barracks.Alloa, went into the shop of Mr. Horthwick, druggist, and stated that she had been sent by a lieighbour, who was alleged to be suffering from toothache, for a pennyworth of aquafortis. Mr. Borthwick, be- lieving the woman's statement, gave her a smail quantity of nitrous acid. Shortly afterwards the woman had quarrelled with some of her relatives, and, to end her supposed sorrows, she swallowed the phial of aquafortis. Dr. Brothcrston was immediately in attendance, and antidotes were ad- ministered. The woman vomited freely, but, from tIie agony the was enduring, it was feared for a time that death would ensue. The roof and aides of the mouth, and the surface of the tongue, seem- ed as if torn into shreds ot skin by the burning acid. On Friday the woman was considered out of danger.-Alloa Advertiser.
