      PBANCB . The Paris pipers of Thursday contains the fq&oiring telegrapHc despatch : — "TiSGrm , Jtjlt 10 . —A letter frcva Ifce Pasha of Israehe declares , in Che mane of < he Emperor , that thai Prince formally disavows the aggression that jook place on tin- I 5 ih qj Jane , sad Just he J »» 3 ordered his son to exysl those "who ^ rere gailty of It from the rankB of tiiB army , by dismissing the princi pal chiefs .

      SPAIN . Madbid , Jcrr 12 . —General Breton , the captaingeneral of Arragon , las declared the whole of that military district in a state of siege , hy a proclamation dated at Saragossa , 10 th instant , and containing all the nsnal accompaniments of coancfls of war , and the shooting of everybody who may attempt to interrapt public tranquillity in any possible way . The accounts received from Saragossa to-day state that public tranqpility has indeed been disturbed , but by thB acts of the government itself , and a most painful sensation t& 3 been , excited by the execution , on the 9 A * of Don F- Lagnnaa , formerly commander < rf the l ? auonal Gosui , and two other persons , named BartolemeRibeiro and Estevan Miana , nicknamed General Zordo , who had been arrested a few days before as participators in the massacre of General Esteller

      awe than six years ago . It will be remembered that on the 6 tb of Mareh , 1838 j a large body of Carlist troops effected an entry by night into Saragossa , from which they were again driven by the National Guards , after * severe strnggl ? , and that , through the prevalent belief that treachery existed on the part of ihe authorities , . the life of the military commander , General Esteller , was sacrificed by the excited nationals ; General Erteller was a Moderado authority , and the same party which now decrees an apotheosis to Montes de Oca , who openly pnt himself at thehead of an insurrection , and set a price on the heads of the authorities opposed to him , has taken from their families , tried by a conneil of war , and shot , the above mentioned three men for taking pan in a tumult , in which a military authority wasMlled , above six years ago .

      The crime for which Don F . Lacunas has suffered , is not the murder of General Esteller , hut the Liberal principles which he was known to entertain . The object in putting him and his companions in misfortune to death was , not to Tindicate public justice , hnt to strike terror into the minds of those who dare to disapprove of Narvafz and his system of GoTernment . The real end aimed at is to influence the approaching elections , and to frighten the mem"b ers of the -Liberal party from being candidates , or , should seme few be scffieiently bold to offer themselves , to intimidate ihe electors , and prevent them from giving them their support ,

      Moke Atrocities—MadbjDj Jixt 14 th . —The Clamor PulRco pnblishes accounte of a new outrage to humanity committed by the military tyrants who aow rule in Spain , which for barbarity and violence exceeds even the ordinary course of Spanish out-» ges . It appears that three Carlists and two smugglers , who had crossed the frontier a month ago from France , were taken prisoners , and brought before the ordinary criminal tribunal at Caspe . The trial had commenced , the evidence for the prosecution was closed , and the counsel for the defendants was allowed tfll the 12 th of Jnlyto prepare their defence , bnt on the 9 th an officer commanding a small body t > f troop 3 arrived from the neighbouring military post of Alcaniz , armed with authority to seize the prisoners . He declared that any defence

      K&s quite unnecessary , and proceeded forthwith to the prison , in opposition to the remonstrances of the judge , where he seized npon the unhappy Carlists , dragged them from their dungeons , and without further ceremony shot them . We regret to say that -this barbarity has not even the miserable txcase of being perpetrated without authority . It was committed on . a deliberate order issued by General KarTaez , in his capacity as Minister of War , and we will venture to 33 y that even in Spanish annals a greater atroei : yis not on record . This execution , coming so toon after that of the unfortunate commander of the l ? anonal Guards , at Saragossa , has produced a most profound sensation throughout the country . AItdptU has been placed in a stats of siege .

      5 WII 2 EBLA 2 TD . Shcoti 5 g Meeting rs Swttzekla 5 d , —TLe great federal shooting meeting At Basle is concluded . It is calculated that the number of carabine-shots fired was at the leasi 2 * 0 , 000 ; and , it is said , on the Sunday , no fewer ihan 21 . 000 bottles of wins were drank ' in a few boors . The list of all the przes would fill many columns of a journal . There were three grand przes of the respective value of . 3 780 / ., 2 . 400 / ., and 2 , 100 £ . —the Sxst being won by CoJoae ] Hunerwald , t > f Le-mburg , in Argau ; the second by M . Bes-iinger , of Appecz » l ; and the third by the English nobleman , Lord Yeraon , who obtained his naturalisation in Switzerland , in order to have the

      righi of competing ; . He is said to have made a vow thai he will no ; leave Switzerland until he has won the first prize . His skill has excited bo much jealousy in the country , that a citizen of AppeDzsl , lamed Eohler , one of the most renowned marksmen in Switzerland , had recourse to a most unworthy trick to gain the superiority over Lord Ternon . By giving a heavy bribe , he sednced a marker to put down to him many more hits than he actually made . Thefraud , however , was discovered , M . Kohler "W& 3 obliged to leave Basle immediately , and , by a Council of the Federal Carabineers , he is disqualified from ever shooting again at any public match . The marker , who broke the oath he took to mark justly , has been arrested , and will bs tried .

      GERJIANY . The Riots is the MAScr-AcnrRisG Districts . — The riots which took place in the early part of June in Silesia have been followed by others in Prague ; and Commissions are Bitting in both districts te explore the real eauses of these excesses . Prom the various accounts from those districts these causes are pretty plainly excessive lowness of the price of labour ; Mid , to a great extent , utter want of work . Tor 2 . long period th » distress among the handloom linen weavers has been dreadful . This has now extended itself to the cotton-spinnere , and the description of the appearance of these workpeople—the formerly ample , peaceful , industrious , and happy inhabitants of the Silesian valleys—is heartrending .

      Pale , consumptivejWeak-eyed men , languidly gliding down from thB mountains , staff in hand , clad in their hlne liren jackets , and bearing wearily the bundle of linen to the master's , which they have woven at Is . 6 d . the 120 ells , is the picture of the linen weavers . That of ihe cotton-spinners is worse , because it is more morally revolting . Before Christmas some disturbances took place—the distress kas gone on increasing . On the cne hand the formidable competition of England ; on the olher , ihs strict closing of the trade across the frontiers with Russia , has at length brought the people to desperation . They aiu-ibnled all their miseries to the introduction of machinery , and accordingly against that thtj turned their fnry . Collecting in

      a mass of more than a ihousand , they marched with a white curtain torn down from a window , aad hoisted on a pole asa banner , and to the singing of a song which had long been sung through all the district to express thsir injuries , into the populous mannfaenrring villages of Peterswaldeu and Langenhielau , where they aitacked the chief factories , those of Messrs . Zwajmger , Hilbert , and Andritzky , and DIerig . Attempts were made to turn away their fary by ihe distribution of money , bat , in most cases , in vain , The fury of the rioters was terrific ^ Windows , roofs , machinery , furniture , all met with one common destruction . The stores of yarn , indigo , manufactured goods , spindles , &c , were all carried out and fiang iuio the mill-streams . During fourand-twenty hours that it required to get an order

      from Breslau for the employment of military , thi 3 work of demolition and plunder went on . The soldiers , on ihar arrival , fired on the mob , and killed thirteeB on the spot , hesides wounding many others . The rioters then jUsd to the hills and woods , whence the soldiers hunted them out . Upwards of a hun-^ redweie con veyed to the prison at SchweidBix Pnnce Adalbert of Prussia hastened to Breslau to ascertain the ieal facts of the case . There also the laob manifested a disposition to the same excesses ; broke the street lamps , and the windows of houses and of the reformed church . Ko sooner did the news arrive ia Prague , than the cotton spinners also assembled on thB 17 th and 18 ; h of June , and demo-IL-hed the machinery of the factories , M > which they attributed the lowness of their wages , ' and all their

      coajequent miseries . The Riots is Bohehia . —A letter from Prague , of the 8 i inst , in the Augsburg Gazette ^ gives the following account of disturbances in the mannfaclunng districts of Bohemia : — " The agitation which has for sometime Teigned here has spread the inlaenee to'Kdchenberg . Is thesorninj ? vf tbejJrd * great number of workmen had assembled together at Cathsrin » bsrg , &boii t a league frosa Beitchenberg , where is placed the farthest manufactory ascending the SeiEs . They engaged the men belonging to the spinning mills to join them in destroying the machinerr which supersedes manaal labour . The

      insurgents went along the river from one manufactory to tae other , and seduced all the spinners . The aillB on the Upper Neiss were sot meddled with , because &ey have none but vhe old machinery ; but when they came to the manufactory of M . Stephen . Ksenig , aiHabencorff , several hundreds joined in dragging the machinery into the meadows , and in a Jew Minutes broke it into fragments . Hence they went by Maohendof w Ham . m . ereton » gathering as they ¦ wr ot along , until they amounted to 600 . At the factory ef SI . Sigmona , Mewnanger , and Co ., they broke up five new fflachiaes , xaA ibxew them into the river . They did no injury to the xneny n " r did ftiej touch ike old machines . Pursuing their course

      they ciine to the factory of M . Ginsel , at Rosenthtl , brq ^ e in , and destroyed between 30 and 40 machines . The amount of the damage done most be very large . They were pre p * ing tb raelves for en expedition against the extensive factory of Messrs . Liebegand Co ., in the Josephinenthal ; but at ten o ' clock in the morning information of the riotous proceedings wasbrought to Rei&henberg , the burgher guard was called out , y-Tid when the rioters reached Roshentbal , they were met bj several hnndretlfl of thia body . Refusing to obey the snmmofts to disperse , and throwing § tones at the guard , a conflict ensued , in which seieral of the rioters were arrested , and the main body compelled to retreat . The guard passed the night under arms . " The Frankfort Journal has another letter from Prague , dated the 9 : h , giving the particulars of a eerioji riot in that city the preceding evening , caused by the labourers on the railroad : — They came on in bands , demanding an

      increase of wages . Finding the gates shnt against them and guarded , they became so violent in their attempts to force their way , that the officer in command felt himself compelled by his duty to order his men to fire . Several of the assailants were tronnded ; bnt , most unfortunately , a stray bullet entered a house by the window , and killed the child of & tradesman , four years old , while sitting at table . A coachman was also struck while seated on his box , and is since dead . Upon thiB the townspeople became enraged , and assailed the guard in its rear , and placing it as it were between two fires , forced it to shelter itself from the missiles launched at it nndsr Ihe gateway , * ill other corps came up , and dispersed both the tumultuous assemblages . The populace , as usual on snch occasions , exhibited their animosity againBt the Jews , committing outrages against their persons and property . "

      Aaothsb Account . —Pbacub , Jo t . t 10 . —We had fresh disturbances on the &h , but on this occasion blood was spilt . The workmen on the railway assembled , to the number of some hundreds , near the Porzitseh gate , and remained perfectly quiet during the morning , but did not work . It is said they are dissatisfied because , it having rained the day before , they were prevented from working , and received only part of the day ' s wages . Some companies of infantry and squadrons of cavalry were sent to occupy the gates . About four o ' clock in the afternoon , it is net known from what causes ( some fay because the cavalry attempted to disperse them ) they began an attack with stones on the Porzitseh gate , which was shut . Ten rods of the railway were

      broken up . The stones were torn from the new wall , which runs along the Riska- Mountain , and thrown at the soldiers . The Custom House was demolished , the Imperial Eagle torn down and trampled under foot , till at length Prince Windisch Gratz , ihe General commanding in Bohemia , ordered the troops to fire- Two persons were killed , one of whom was the child of a merchant that happened to be standing at & window . We saw six woundtd persons , but do not know if there were more . It is said that there ara several in the hospital who were wounded by the cavalry . The animosity and rage of the populace is great , especially against the Jews . Several companies of soldiers remained in the neighbourhood during the night of the 8 : h , to protect the Jews' quarter .

      The Prussian Stale Gazette has the following under the head of Prague , July 10 : — " Tranquillity has been restored , but , as a measure of precaution , the authorities have established two batteries in the lower town . The labourers on the railroad have resumed their work . Their exasperation against the contractor , Klein , appears to have been founded on real grievances . Only one of the men who demolished the chimney of the corps de garde has been arrested . This act . compelled the troops to have recourse to their arms . Of nine persons who were wounded two are dead . They had taken no part in the riot . " ITALY . According to a letter frem Ancona of the 9 . h , in the Augsburg Gazette , lloro , one of the conspirators in the recent attempt to revolutionize Calabria , wa ? not killed as reported , but is in prison with the two Bons of Admiral Bandeira .

      WEST INDIES . Sovtbxuttox , Jcit IS . —The Forth arrived this evening socn after seven , bringing all the mails . It appears that the want of rain was still very much felt at Jamaica , and many of the other West India islands . Dysentery had also prevailed to a considerable extent . On board her Majesty ' s ship Hermes , whick was at St . Thomas ' s , it had been most disastrous , no less than 26 seamen falling a sacrifice . CUBA ,

      The Hermes may be expected daily , and the Inconstant in abcat ten days . The Inconstant goes immediately after her arrival to the Havannah . We have already stated it to be our opinion that the Piqae is expected to be also at the Havannah . This looks as if our gallant naval commander has determined upon stopping O'Donnell ' s progress in sending away or inflicting punishment on British tubjects . — Jamaica Paper ,

      FOREIGN MISCELLANY . Rome , JtrsB 29 . —The Allgeme ' me Eeitung contains the following : —A scandalous story has lately created a great sensation here . A priest , brother to the regicide Fieschi , carried on an intrigue with the daughter of a Roman duke , and had a rendfzvous wiih her at an hoDSe of iJJ-fame . The brother of the young lady being apprized of the fact , suddenly appeared before the house , at the head of a company of carabineers . The priest alarmed , jumped out of the first floor window , and hurt himself severely , but

      nevertheless , managed to reach the neighbouring church , where he hoped to find protection . He was , however , arrested in the church , and judgment was afterwards pronounced against him by the ecclesiastical authorities . When an affair of this kind is committed by a priest , the guilty party , after having undergone his sentence , is generally ordered to Borne part of the country which is known to be unhealthy , here they linger for awhile , but not long : Eucha punishment being almost equivalent to a sentence of death .

      Brazil . —A dreadful accident occurred at Rio de Janeiro on tbe 25 th of May , bj the bursting of the boiler of one of the small iron steamers belonging to the Kithershy Company , that ply between the city and Praia Grande , by whichupwards of forty persons lost their lives . Hasoveb , Jult 16 . —We were alarmed yesterday by a report that the town of Gedar was almost entirely barnt to the ground . To-day , however , we learn that there has been a great fire , which destroyed a church , with a celebrated organ , and two houses . It is stated that to the indefatigable and judicious exertions of the military in directing the fire-engines , may be ascribed the preservation of the remainder of the town , the wind being very stormy , and the roofs of the adjoining houses being often in great danger . —Hamhurgh Papers .

      r HOUSE OF LORDS— Friday , Jult 19 . Lard Mokteable moved tbe committal of the Bill for localising Art Usions . The Dake of Ca 31 SS . idgb expressed his cordial approbation of the Bill , nod stated that he had witnessed most gratifying results from institutions established to promote the fine arts . The Bill went through the committee . Various other 3 ills TFsre advanced ; and the County Coroners Bill , after some discosaion , was read a second time .

      MO-fDAT , JtTLT 22 . In the House of Lords Mr . Sergeant Wbanoium was heard in opposition to the Bill for the Disfranchisement of Sudbury , and concluded hiB speech at balf-psst fivfc o'clock , when a discussion took place on the Gamiag BUI , -which passed through Committee , and was read a third time this day . The House then resumed the order of the day for the Disfrancbisement of Sndbnry and the Lord Chancellor strongly urged the expediency of the measure , as & ¦ warning to other corrupt electors .

The Loxd Chancellor moved the second reading of the Charitable Treats BilL

      The Bishop of Losbox hoped tbe Bill would not be -passed this session , as many of the Bishops were obliged to leave totra forthwith , and such a Bill Bbould not be discussed In their absence . The Bill was accordingly postponed until next session . Several bills were then forwarded a stage , but npon Lord Be almost moving that his bill for repealing the penal acts affecting Roman Catholics should be considered in committee , the Bishop of London repeated the same objections which had been successful against the ^ preceding measure . It tpss supported , however , by the Lerd Chancellor and Lord Wicklow , and was allowed to pass through committee upon tbe understanding that it might , if opposed , bs re-committed .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Friday , Jolt 19 . Mr . Gladstone brought up certain resolutions , relative to futore KiUway Bills , WhiCD Were agreed to . Thft Joint-Stock Companies Regulation Bill went through oomxeittee . Other meaeaces were advanced through different stages of their progress . Mr . Bright called attention to tbe case of two women , convicted ef murder at the last assizes for Roscommon , in whose case there appeared doubtfnl circumstances . Lord Eliot promised the attention of the Irish Government to the case . On tbe motion for going into Committee of Supply , Mr . ^ w art urged the importance of the Government making explicit statements to tbe House of the disposal and the results of the outlay of public money voted for the purposes of education .

      Lord Ho wick pointed out the vast importance of promoting education throughout tbe community , and suggested that the patronage of tbe Government in the bestowal ef subordinate places in the public service might be made auxiliary to tbe great object , by rendering them rewards for young men educated in Government schools . Sir Robert Peel pointed out the minutes of the Committee of Privy Council on Education , as affording much interesting information , of tbe fcind dsaiderated by Mr . Ewatt . He approved of Lord Howick ' s suggestion , and would -willingly aot en it , bo fax as it might be practicable . Mr . Eward urged the importance and tbe expediency of tbe Government promoting the formation of public libraries in large towns for tbe use of tbe working classes .

      SirR . Peel considered it better to allow private exertion and voluntary enterprise to supply the deficiency , ¦ whore it might exist . Government interference would , he thought , prove prejudicial . Mr . M . Gibson moved an addreBS , praying that Her Msjesty would send down to the Eastern Counties a commission of inquiry as to the causa of incendiarism , so prevalent there . He wished the Government to undertake this in the spirit of statesmen , and not merely as matter of police , and , in a chief constable's view . It was the more incumbent on them to take measures for the happiness" of the rural population , because their happiness was one of the professed objects for which the Corn Laws were retained , to the great prejudice of other portions of tbe people . The labouring classes had a feeling that tbe Legislature disre >

      garded them snd their interests . The evils of the eastern counties aroae not from want of pastoral care , for that district was aland of churches and clergymen . The landlords , in order to prejudice the people against the manufacturers , bad taught that machinery was & grievance ; the labourers had applied tbe doctrine to the machinery of the farmer , particularly the thrashing machine ; and irritated , by the use of it , and by tbe low rate of wages , they had turned against tbe property of the farmers . He then recurred to the subject of the corn dutier , and assumed that Sir R . Peel's declarations in favour of the existing law were still but equivocal ; and so be had lately been telling the people in a part of the country which , he had just visited , hoping he should thus induce them to rely on their owb efforts rather than on the protections of the Jaw .

      Sir J . Grabam found it difficult to conceive what « bject Mr . Gibson could have bad in making tbe speech just delivered , at a moment when the mischief was diminishing , and when the only tfftct of such statement would be to throw fresh fael on the flame . As little c&uld he understand why the Hon . Gentleman alleged that this House neglected the labouring classes , when for some time past the House and the Government had been anxiously employed , morning and evening , upon the law for the relief of the poor , whilb the Hon . Geutkuian hod been taking bis pleasure in the country . The present -motion would not , 'if granted , diminish the evils complained of . He thought , on the contrary , that it wonld tend to increase them , and he should give it bis decided negative . Mr . WOBEHtusB denied that the state of the peasantry was tbe cause of the incendiarism .

      Mr . Dabby rrtorted on Mr . Milner Gibson that his motion originated from party cbjects . He traced tbe fires to a morbid spirit , excited by imitation , or to children , actuated by puerile mischief . Mr . Bright traced the social condition of the country to vicious legislation , raising rent , interfering with trade , and exposing the agricultural population to uncertainty , loss , and ruin , while the Game Laws aggravated all the other mischiefs , because destructive of produce and demoralising ta the peasantry . Misery R& 4 irjustice were at the bottom of all these fearful outrages against property : ho warded the landlords that they were responsible for such a state of things ; and expressing his fears that a day of retribution was at hand , prayed that Heaven might t > a more merciful to them than they bad been to their unfortunate tenaatry .

      Colonel RisHBBOOKE , Mr . BraMSTON , and Lord Henmker gave explanations of a personal nature , and censored the tone adopted by the assailants of the landlords . Mr . Villiebs , after remarking that every measure of amelioration bad to bo wrung from the Legislature through incessant agitation , showed that the Now Pour Law was not an adequate cause of the distress of the peasantry of Suffolk . The process of deterioration had been loDg going on , as be showed by citing the sentiments of a Suffolk labourer , published in the Times fort&en or fifteen years ago , in which the writer complained of the low wages , scanty fare , and deplorable condition of his class . He considered that Mr . Milner Gibson tad done public eervice by bringing the suVjtet before tbe House . Sir John ttbrell complained of these incendiary speeches .

      Mr . TiLiiEHs rose and asked what he meant bj " incendiary speeches . " Sir John Ttrbejll considered that the remarks of Mr . Gibson and Mr . Bright had all the marks and attributes of incendiary speeches . ThiB was an adjourned debite on the Corn Liws . Looking , however , to the returning confidence inspired by the determination of the Government to maintain the Corn LawB , to reviving prosperity , and tbe expiring efforts of the Anti-Corn Law League , he hoped that they would meet next session undtr happier auspices . On a division there appeared—For Mr . M . Gibson ' s motion 41 Against it 130 The House then went into Committee of Supply , an ft

      Mr . "Wtse moved en address , praying Her Majesty to take measures for giving the full benefit of University education , at Maynooth or elsewhere , to her Roman Catholic snbjecls of Ireland . He Bhowed , from a survey of other states , that Ireland had a smaller educational provision in proportion to her popnlation than any country of Europe . After urging at great length the advantages and importance of hi 3 object , and Bnggesting different modes for its execution , be appealed to his own experience , and stated that having himself received the earlier part of bis education in a Jesuits' College , and been thence transferred to the University of Dublin , be bad learned to live in harmony and affection with his Protestant fellow-pupils , Sir R . Peel gave credit to the diligence which Mr . ¦ Wyse had exercised npon this subject , and to tbe temper in whicfe fee bad treated it . The number of elementary

      national schools in Ireland , and the number of scholars atteading them , had greatly increased ; and happily the prejudices against this system of united education were wearing away . With respect to the education of youth in mere advanced years , the subject was one which had ocenpied the serious attention of Government ; and though the lateness of tbe session , which made it Impossible to take any practical step , made it also inexpedient to state particulars for the present , he had no difficulty in avowing th 3 t the Government considered the existing means defective ; and be assured the House that the attention of the nswly appointed Lord-Lieutenant should be early directed to the matter . He would add that Maynooth College was certainly in an unsatisfactory Btate , and that to this institution likewise the attention of Government would be carefully given .

      Mr . Sheil gave a reluctant but most sincere praise to the declaration just made by Sir R . PeeL He added BOme suggestions , founded on an existing set of Parliament , and tending to facilitate any plan which Sir R . Peel might have in view . Mr . Bellew and Lord John Manners expressed their satisfaction . - Mr . Grogas hoped that Ministers would proceed with caution , and with due regard to the experience of tbe past . The subject , after some further conversation , dropped , and the educational vote for England was agreed to . > , It was then proposed that a sum not exceeding £ 75 , 000 be granted to enable the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to advance education in Ireland . The motion ' was opposed by Colonel Terner , Mr . Flumptie , and others . Ultimately the * ote was agreed to .

      The next vote for £ 8 . 000 was tbe grant for Maynooth College . Colonel $ i £ TH 0 £ PB and other opposed tbe vote ; the House divided—For the vote 87 Agaiasfcit " . » . * 9

The House ef Cbmmoni met at twelve o'clock After some complaints by two or three Members about the arrangement of tbe business , the order of tha day was moved for going into committee on the Joint-Stock Banks Bill . The firsfccijrase having oeen carried ,

      The Chairman reported progress , and the House went into Committee on the Railways BilL On its first section Mr . Gladstone explained the alterations which had been made in the measure . The sixth clause , which provides that third class trains shall run every week-day raised a lively debate .

      The Joint-Stock Complies Remedies at Liw nod Equity Bill , ; and the Metropolitan Buildings Bill , were both read a third time and passed . Some other routine business was transacted , and , on tne order of the day for going into a committee of supply , Mr . Sheil adverted to the circumstances attending the French occupation and subsequent possession of Algiera . Reoountiug the circumstances attending the fitting out of the French armament neainat Algiers , in the latter portion of the reign of Charles the Tenththe remonstrances of the Earl of Aberdeen , whose correspondence , cleat and decided , contrasted with hfs conduct , feeble and undecided—the accession of LouiB Pailippe—and the dexterity with which French diplomacy hid evaded all the efforts of tbe then Gorernmenfc to draw specific declarations as to the objeeU contemplated witb Algiers—he c « ne to the period of tbe accession of the WbigB . Earl Grey found that no

      stipulation had 1 been made : no exequatur had been applied for our consul , who still acted on the authority received from the Doy of Algiers ; and thus continued the state of things from 1831 to 1841 Bat no sooner was the Earl of Aberdeen restored to tbe Foreign office , than one of his earliest embarrassments came from this very business of Algiers .

Aulaire , tbe French ambassador , reported to his Government that England now admitted its occupation ot Algiera te be a / ait accompli ; and this compelled tbe Earl of Aberdeen to explain that the phrase was used in an incidental conversation , and was not intended as the ambassador bad understood it But M . Gafz 3 t took no notice of the despatch which contained this explanation ; while France took important steps to secure its possession . In 1843 an ordonnance raised tbe duties leviable on British manufactures imported into Algiers . He did not dispute the title of France , nor did he wish to raise questions which might di « - turb the peace of the world . But events were now

      going on analogous to those which preceded the sofzure of Algiers . In tbe one case the Dey bad struok tbe Frerch consul , and had brought about the consequences which enBued ; in the other , the cause of quarrel waa tha shelter uffjrded by Morocco to Abd-el-Kader , the 14 hero of tbe desert . " Morocco was of great importance to us in a commercial point of view . Her population of upwards of eight millions , consumed a large amount of British manufactures ; let her fall under the dominion , ( or even the protection of Prance , and that commerce wonld be destroyed . What fleet bad we in the Mediterranean T The late Governanut had been severely ; censured for their alleged negleot of tbe navy ; and , contrasting the comparative numbers then aad now , he stated that we had but one ship of the line—the Formidable , an ominous name—while a French squadron was off the coast of Morocco . Lord Haddington had , indeed , apologised for this , by saying that our fljet had

      been concentrated off the coast of Ireland , a country he ought to know well , and the reasons for which he was doubtless qualified to comprehend , seeing he had exchanged the Orange flag for the union jack . ' Professing great admiration for the noble qualities of the French nation , and especially for M . Guic jty whom he described as a great writer , speaker , statesman , and , above all , as an honourable and honest man , he vindicated the course he had adopted in calling attentfon to this subject Lord Palmeraton was charged with having alienated Fiance ; at all events , he did not lower England . Terms : of diplomatic endearment were freely exchanged : but had they got their treaty of commerce or extended the rightof search ? Or was the loss of our influence in . Spain to be compensated by the loss of our commerce with the coast of Barbary ? He concluded by moving , iu the shape of an address to tbe Crown , for the production of certain papers .

      Sir Robert ; Peel regretted the raising of this discussion , which , though of course not intended , counteracted instead of aiding the efforts of Britain in preventing a'hostile collision between France and Morocco . The motion now made was not the original one , which was for a select committee to inquire into tbe circumstances under which tbe French had acquired their possessions in Africa . Suppose some member of the Chamber of Deputies moving for a committee to inquire into the circumstaneea attending our acquisition of Hong Kong . So conscious was Mr . Saeil of the unprecedented nature of that motion , that after it was made , he endeavoured to prevent its being printed . Adverting to 1 S 30 , ha taunted the late Government with having , for eleven years , acquiesced in tb « military

      occupation of Algiers by France . This arosa , he admitted , from their desire not to take any step which would affect the still unsecured throne of Louis Philippe ; but they did acquiesce without a knowledge of the intentions of France . In 1803 , Marshal Sjult publicly intimated their determination to retain permanent occupations of Algiers ; and there was a vast difference in the question of p : easing for evacuation in 1830 and in 1841 . Looking to the time which had elapsed , would it be consistent with common sense , or common discretion , to ask for the abandonment of Algiers now ? The ordonnauce of 1843 ,. raising tbe duties on foreign manufactures imported into Algiers , was not novel in principle ; it bad been preceded by a similar one in 1835 , and the object

      of both was the same—to fay on dtiacriminatiag duties in faveur of French manufactures , as againBt those of other nations . This he deplored , and had expressed their regret to the French Government j but they could not contest its right to do sa . With respect to actual events in Morocco , he was restrained from dpeakiug with freedom . They must be content with the public declarations made of the French Government as to their intentions . [ Here Mr . Sheil made a gesture cf dissent . ] Then Mr . Sheil hud better have spared bis compliments of the characters of Louis Philippe and M . Guiz » t ; hts two-fold abject of courting popularity at Paris and at home was not to be attained by praising French statesmen , and ttnoering at their declarations .

      Mr . Sheil—I said nothing . Sir Robert Peel—No , you said nothing ; but the Right Honourable Gentleman is so naturally eloquent , that a shrug and a sneer on his expressive face conveys more than the words of other men . France required that Morocco should not shelter and aid Abd-el-Kader ; and the general tenor of the instructions to Prince Join * ille had be . n frankly communicated , confirming tbe fact that their sole object was to secure this . He declined entering on a discussion on the state of tbe navy ; our naval estimates ( notwitbstan ing the necessity for economy imposed by the deficiency which caused the income tax ) ^ had been larger duriai ? the last four

      than the ten years preceding ; and we were In a state of preparation w&icb won'd enable us to meet any emergency . Ships in commission were not precisely a test of strength ; they might be insufficiently manned , as was the case with the Mediteranean fleet during the Syrian campaign , so far at least as the complaints of Sir Charles Napier testified . Contending that France was pledged not to extend its conquests in the direction of Morocco er Tunis , and deprecating remarks which would provoke' similar passions and retorts in the Chamber of Deputies , he hopbd nothing would b « done which wonld diminish our authority , exerted to obtain an honourable peace

      Lord John Rrssell confessed that , in the present ftate of circumstances , he should not himself have thought it neceBsary to make any motion at all upon this subject ; bat Mr . Sheil , who had deemed it expedient to do go , had , at all events , used a becoming temperance of language . Perhaps the existing condition of affairs was not such as to exclude all apprehension ; but be saw nothing at this moment which , in his judgment , made it necessary to press for papers . Besides , he could not help observing the existence of a blind warparty in France , whose urgency would be very

      embarrassing to the French Government , if that Government were pressed by England with any demand that should irritate the national feelings of the French people . On the subject of our naval force , however , he did not think there waa the same need for delicacy . He then entered into a comparison between the amounts of our aaval force in 1838 and in 1844 , showing an advantage fer 183 < upon the number of ships , eenauring tbe Government for having reduced that nnmber , and treating the present force as inadequate to the exigencies of the time .

      A lengthy discussion followed , in which Mr . Milnes , Mr . Hume , Mr , Mackinnon , Sir C . Napier , Lord Infrestre , Sir G Cockburn , Mr . M . O . Ferrall , Mr . S . Herbert , and Captain Pechell took part . Lord Palherston justified Mr . Shiel for having made this motion . He considered the existence of the war party in France as an additional reason for entering into discussions , which would show the force and resolution of this country . He stated tbe substance of some correspondence which bad passed upon the subject of Algiers between the Duke of Wellington ' s Ministry in 1830 and the Government of France ; and

      defended the course taken by the subsequent Ministry in leaving the subject undisturbed . He blamed the present GovernmeHt for the insufficiency of their naval force . They had mistaken the reverse of wrong for right , and had so overmanned their few ships , that there were on beard more men than sleeping places . He believed that tbe best economy : was to be well prepared with the means of naval defence ; for . peace was more likely to bepresetved if tfioB © "Who might be ai * posed to attack you taw a strong force ready to tesist them , than if your means of defence were bo small aa to invite insult .

      The motion waa negatived without a division ; after which , at 11 o ' clock , Mr . Hume brought on the motion , upon Which the House had bees coonVed out a few nights before for an address to the Crown , praying Her MajeBty to remodel the Royal Academy , with a view of renderipf It more conducive to the advancement of the fine uriB . : , Sir R . Peel refused tbe motion , which waa negatived without a division .

      ETZLER ' S PARADISE . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NQBTHKRN STAR . Esteemed Sib . —As youjare a leader of theTprogressive order of men , who are not delighted with conservative stagnation of fool slavery and ignorance , and all concomitant evils , )! presume it must afford to you no small gratification when you see a chance afforded yon to promote a knowledge of means for effecting the universal progress of humanity with a vengeance . This is natural to every friead of humanity , in whom the miad is not brutalized by prejudice , tbe nobler feelings of bnraau nature not blunted by bad habits , and who loves light of knowledge instead of darkness of ignorance on the most vital concerns of human life . I am induced to

      believe that you are acquainted iu seme manner with the subjects which 1 have brought before the public , and on which you ] have kindly admitted a number of paragraphs in yo ! ur paper ; and especially by your own friendly remarks on these subjects occasionally , I am led to believe that you are aware of the essential trutha of my propositions . 1 also know that many of your readers have made themselves acquainted with my publications , and would wish to see in your paper a medium for farther public communications on the progress of that cause , originated by me , which is calculated to produce immediate relief to the poorj and ultimately universal exaltation of the human race to all that supreme felicity of which human nature i 3 capable .

      We hear of distress of the mil lions in the centre of an empire which extends its dominiou over all parts of the globe , and commands an aggregate of territories of the happiest climates , and the greatest productiveness , fifteen times as large as the British Empire in Europe , and of more than 1 , 000 times the productiveness of ihe samo ? -an empire famous over all the globe for its wealth aad power , and for its practical sciencos too ! Are the people asleep that they cannot make any good use of these great advantages ? Has ignorance and stiff adherence to old stupid notions and customs sunk the great people into profound stupor , that nothing caa arouse them to activity for their amelioration 1

      My pamphlet on " Emigration to the Tropical World , " shows from faota acknowledged ia our present age , that the one-half ( the equatorial ) of the globe is capable to afford th < i necessaries and luxuries of human life for more than 1 , 000 times the present population of all the world ; that tbe Republic of Venoguela alone , is four times as largo as Great Britain and Ireland , and is capable to produce for the wants of a happy life for more than one hundred time 3 ihe population of our empire , while it contains ouly 800 , 000 men ; that this Republic offers land freely , and freedom of taxes and public services tor fifteen years to all emigrants ; that by proper

      cultivation , one acre there may produce as much in nutritive stuff for man as 133 acres of wheat , or 44 acres of potatoes ( according to Thos . Humbold ) ia our country . I propose an association in shares of £ 5 , to secure for each share 30 acres , 10 of which to be cultivated by machines to the benefit of the shareholder , to secure amply the physical wants of any family , for ever , without further labour or additional contribution . Pajsage to ] that chantry may , by ju'licious sooial arrangement , be procured with less oxpence than £ 5 more , besides two months' provis i on . Are these things to be slighted by the suffering , constantly drudging , and poorly eujiyiug millions of tbiscouutrv ?

      My " Paradise within the reach of all men , by powers of Nature and Machinery , " developes the stubborn facts that there are million times greater powers in nature , which neither eat , nor drink , nor sleep , nor tire , nor cost anything , than all the nerves and muscles of man can afford—how these powers can be brought unto the disposal of man , to turn a wheel any where , with any amount of power , perpetually , uniformly ; and that consequently all machines that are in existence jor ever may be invented can be driven by such perpetually-turning wheels ; that the earth can be tilled ] and beautified by these means , and earth can be made a paradise for ever , without labour of either man or beast ; that then , man being no longer doomed to hard labour for life , but a free , happy , glorious being , neither suffering nor fearing want , can gradually acquire all the mental and moral improriameats of which he is capable . <

      Are these things to be slighted I—to be laughed at , because here and there some silly buffoon , ia bis ignorance , attempts to express in publio his apish grin to an unthinking multitude ! My "Mechanical System' shows what sort of simple machine may be used to till the land , gardenliko ; clear it from spontaneous growth and rocks ; level , excavate , or elevate it ; for any purpose , and do other works , with a total saying of all expenses for , and use of , cither man or beast , at the rate of three or four men cultivating 1 , 000 to 2 , 000 acres . Are these things to be slighted ?

      My description of my " Naval Automaton" shows and proves irom facts well known , how to navigate any vessel across the oceau with but one or two men , superseding all manual labour , with three times the quickness , and iu almost perfect safety , by the power of waves that cost nothing , land by applying waves or wind power to manage the sails quickly . Are these things to be sli g hted by Englishmen i Sciences and arts , intelligence , so much boasted of , so dearly paid for to doctors and professors , and so highly revered—where are ye 1 Are ye all asleep , that neither sound nor literary communications can rouse ye to enquiry ! |

      Mr . Hardy , on rising , went on to show the evil effects of the monthly bonds proposed by ttie Gual Owners , and showed , from hia own experience , that if once adopted in Northumberland and DorhamJ the

      Untitled Article

      worst possible consequences would follow , not only to tbe Miner , but to the publio in general ; for by thefe operation tbe men would be brought entirely under tbe contronlof the masters , who would reduce their wages down to tbe lowest possible rate . Besides this he waa confident monthly bonds would bring in their train infamstu track system , which would completely rnta hundreds of tradesmen In Newcastle and Ita neighbourhood—( hear , bear ) . He showed the pernicious f-. fftcta of mqnthly bonds in Cumberland , how they had affected himself , and gave several striking instances of oppression . His speech evidently bad a great effect on tbe meeting .

      Mr . Joseph Favtcett , of West Moor , spoke at some length in a sttain ot bnmonr and considerable eloquence . He was loudly cheered throughout the whole of his address . He spake on the old bonds , one of which be held in his band , and read several clauses from it , commenting as he went along . The Colliers were called ignorant , bnt the owners at least had taught them oaa principle of arithmetic—namely , r « duction ; not only that , but they put them into practice—( load laughter and cheats )—and now they wanted to reduce them into vulgar fractions—( continued laughter );—but they were down on that dodge—it would not do—lebeers ) . He

      then entered i&to the cruel methods adopted in turning ; the Colliers out of theSr houses . One of the miscreants who-turned his wife and family to the door , actually threw the broth on the dunghill wbicb was for hia children , in order to prevent their supping It—( shout * of indignation ) . The masters thought , by these measures , to break down the spirit of the men , and thna drive them to work on their own terms ; but they were disappointed—it only made the men more resolved to stand out—( cries of " Bravo" ) . They would die rather than submit to the monthly bonds—( hear , bear , aud loud cheers ) . He concluded with a poetic quotation denouncing oppression .

      The Chairman here again invited any persen to con * tradict tho statements of the speakers . On no one appearing , he introduced Mr . George Charlton , of South Shields , to the meeting , who said he had lately been one of the deputation which was sent to Lenden . They had been well received—much better than the Emperor of Russia—( applause ) . The Trades of London were coming nobly forward to support them . He hoped other towns would go and do like wise—( cries of we will" ) . The speaker then went on to show some of tbe grievances under wbicb the Miners suffered , and sat down much cheered , having made a very effective speech .

      Mr . Edward Richardson , from Dsrwent Iron Works next spoke . He confined himself principally to answering the address of the Marquis of Lsndondevrf . With respect to the first statement , that " 3639 men were employed hewing coals , " be could confidently assert-that this statement was not true—( hear , bear ) . There were not more than 2 , 000 ia the two counties , including off-banded men , Irishmen , Scotchmen , Welshmen ,. &o ., most of whom bad never been down iu a pit before , and were now getting tired—( cheeTa ) . Then as to " 766 sensible men having left the Union : " why the real fact was , there were aot 400 ieft , out of 33 OOt men and boys—( cheers)—and many of them were old bands , such aa shifters , wastemen , deputies , &a » men always ready to do the dirty work of the viewers ,

      who only joined the Union under a pretence for about : two or three weeks , for on being threatened with losing their situations they left it But supposing tbe statement of tbe noble Marquia to be true ( which he utterly denied ) , how was it tbat be omitted to state , that nearly 3 , 000 men joined the Union since the strike ? —( applause ) . Because it was truth , and truth evidently did not suit Coal Owners—( cheers ) . Again , regarding " the produce of their labonr being 5 . 11 ? chaldrona per day , " that waa very doubtful , bnt how were they working ? Why they were destroying the working . Was it c < ral they sent up ? No , it was mere dirt —( cheers)—so bad that tbe people of London could not make gas of it—( continued cheers ) . Taere were little or no coals iu the London market and tbe simple

      assertion tbat the few inefficient bands which they h ? . d : could Bupply the matkat , especially when 30 000 Col liers were employed , was rather too much to be believed by tbe most gullible—( cheering ) . He then referred to a letter which the Marquis' men bad written in answer to bis address , whetein they denied hlfl assertion " tbat they bad no grievances , no ground of complaint against bis viewers , or tbat they were compelled by tbe power of tae Union to fight tbe battle of others : " these statements of his were all false—( cheers and applause ) . The principal difference between the Marquis and bis men was tbe monthly bond , and when be learned that , be was very ' angry , and said , " that instead of being in Italy when tbe monthly bonds were agreed to , be wished be bad been at the 1 "—( cheers ) . The spsaker

      concluded an able address by stating that the sew bands which the masters had introduced into the collieries were discontented and leaving ; they found they had been deceived ; that twelve Irishmen at one colliery , and fourteen at another , belonging to the Marquis bad already left , they bad gone home , and were telling doleful stories about the pits—( applause ) . He ( the Marquis ) was so well liked on hi 8 Irish estate that he dare not go himself to set fresh bands—( cheers ) This be knew , for tha Union had sent a man to Ireland , who was on his Lordship ' s estates at that moment , itid had obtained an interview with bis head agent He said that thirty-six of the new bauds had left Seaton Dalaval and the Cr&wiiagtona—( thaers )—and tbe " blacklegs" themselves had actually struck woik at Seghill aad Whltiey—( prolonged cheering ) .

      The Chairman said be believed all tbe Miners had spoken who intended to address the meeting , but if any other individual had anything to advaBce , he should be happy to bear him , upon which Sl- « . ATK . 1 N , of the Dacrow Inn , rofse and shortly addressed the meeting . He bad given upwards of £ 20 to the Miners , be considered it bis duty to do so , fur what he had he had obtained by the Miners—( load cheering ) . He chilled upon all tradesmen to support them in tbeir present struggle , which be believed was founded upon truth and justice—( applause ) . Tbe following resolution was then unanimously passed amid loud cheers-. —proposed by Mr . Crowthera , and seconded by Mr . Blackburn , who stated that he waa convinced there waa a confederacy between tbe Ship and Coal

      Owners—Resolved , " That , in the opinion of this meeting , the operative Coal Miners of this country are the victims of a system of fraud , injustice , and cruelty , and tbat their forbearance , under extreme privation , merits the esteem of every Christian in the kingdom . " A . vote of thanks was carried to the Chairman by acclamation , who returned thanks , and the immense meeting dispersed in the highest spirits and in admirable order . Tbis meetiug has done great good in removing false impressions from tbe minds of tbe inhabitants—they should be held oftener .
