THE POST OFFICE SPY SYSTEM . The Reports from both Secret Committees , that of the Lerds and that of the Commons , have been presented ; and those Reports bear out to the fall Mr . Descombx ' s statements . They Bet forth that the power of opening Utters has been in constant exercise ; that a Roving Commission was sent down to Manchester and other places in the Horth , in 1 & 42 ; that it it impossible to ascertain the number of letters that hare been opened ; that amongst others the letters of Mr . Mazlm hare been stopped , and extracts of them given to Foreign Governments j VK « . t the stoppage of letters in his case , was at the request of a Foreign GoTernment ; and that it i 3 a serioos question whether the power to open letters ought not to be done away with .
The evidence taken by the Committees is sot giTen Of course not : thai is recret . "We own to a most itching curiosity to see it . We fancy , that were all laid bare , one of the " Warrants" spoken of as haying been issned in 1842 , was in operation against US , as well as again 3 t many of those who were tried and convicted at Lancaster . " It used to be matter of surprise to us , that letters posted in Manchester on the previous evening , lorg beforemail time , did not reach us at Leeds before next day afternoon . The existence of a Warrant , " and a person down from London to look over onr correspondence , wonld explain thai . We should much like to see the * evidence /*
And we fancy that we shall , some day or other , haye the gratification of " knowing all about it , " notwithstanding the secrecy" in which the matter is at present enveloped . One thing is clear ; the "whole -question can not be allowed to remain as it is . The Secret Committee have made their report Sow it is for Mx . Dcscohbs to make bis . We nave a notion that , some how or other , the member for Knsbury will manage to rattle-ont the facts that are kept -behind ; and that he will show that the Committees , industrious as they have been , nave not gone to the batten of the Iniquity , and
hare not reported even all they know . The Earl of RxDsoa has already moved ; he has introduced a BQl to define and begulate the power of opening letters , confining it to certain oases ; it will be for Mr . Dcscombe to introduce a Bill to abolish the practieealiogether , making these Reports the groundwri for such proceeding . The Reports ineontestably show that the practice has rarely , if eyer , been of the slightest serrice ; while the suspicion engendered , the want of confidence that arises on eyeryhand , and the serious effect on pnblic morality itself by the deceit , fraud , and forgery which the practice necessarily
causes , are eyils of that character that scarcely anything can compensate for . The whole system of letter opening ; the " warrants f the w inner or secret office , " with its steaming of wafers , and plaster-east seals ; the Roying Commissioners sent scampering after F . O'Cossob , Jahts Leach , asd set £ > tees oxHEE Chabtisis i all , all , mu 3 t be swept away ; and the practice entirely abolished . Teeasos must be smeUed out some other way : and " evidence" for monster indictments come at by
IMre honest means th&n the sending © f letters to the people ' s leaders by Government spies , that they may be intercepted in the Post-office , or found in the possession of the party to whom they are addressed ; fiie police hunting the lucky moment when to appear and catch such party , just when the letter has been delivered , and before there has been time cither to destroy it , or to make the inquiries necessary to secure to the sender the legal consequences » f his wickedness .
We repeat , the whole system must be swept away and the country will look for Mr . Duscombe ' s endeavouring to do it . The exposures that ne has been the means of making justify him in calling for the abrogation of a power so odious , so fraudulent , so dangerous , and bo liable to gross abuse . Next week we shall giye abstracts of the two Rxrosrs .

Losdos Repbai Meetings—We have received a Tery lengthy report , or rather a series of reports , of a number of Repeal Meetings holden in tbe different Metropolitan Wards during the past week .

" And the point is likely to receive legal solution ; for an action has been brought to try tbe p « 3 t- We have been requested to call on the frame-work knitters to contribute the necessary funds to prosecute the suit ; and surely they will do so , for they are deeply interested in the settlement of the question . If it should turn oat that this demand is illegal , —and there Is abundant reason fox thinking it will , —a great addition will be made to their weekly earnings . Surely then they will contribute the means to try the point .

DREADFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT . FOURTEEN PERSONS KILLED ! Kottisgham , August 7 . —This morning ( Wednesday ) beiDg the day fixed for the execution of wm . SaviUe for the murder of his wife and three children , the town was thrown inso aa unusyal state of excitement . At au earlj hour , crowds were Assembled in front of the County Hall ; and at a few minates to eight o ' clock there could be not less than twenty thousand people present , anxiously waiting to behold the inhuman spectacle . At eight o ' clock Saville made hiB appearance on the platform , accompanied by the sheriff , chaplain , and
the executioner . He setmed to display great firmness , and looked around him quite cool and unconcerned . He nodded to a few friends whom he distinguished in the crowd , and not more than two minutes could elapse from the time of his arriving on the scaffold to the fatal bolt being drawn . He was macb convulsed ; but in a few minutes , all his tronbles in thiB world were at an end . Proceedings of a more painful nature have to be narrated as the result of the brutalising scene of " hanging . " At the time the drop fell , the rush was bo terrific , some anxious to get a sight of the wretched man , whilst otbe * wished to be released from the pressure of
the crowd , that a great number of persons of all ages and boih sexes , were precipitated down a flight of stepB leading from the High Pavement , down to Garner ' s fHH ; and notwithstanding every caution of the Major and other inhabitants , areat numbers were forced down upon thoBe already lying in a mangled state . Seven persons were taken ap quite lifeless , and a great number more much injured . The dead and those that had sustained the most serions injuries , were conveyed to the Mayor ' s Yard , whilst others were conveyed directly to the General Hospital . Sedans , ehairs , and various suitable vehicles being put in requisition for tbe purpose . Tne { Mayor ' s . Yard presented a spectacle the most

appalling . Never did human eye behold a more heard-rending sight than there presented itself . The wailings and mournings of parents for the loss of their children , husbands lamenting the fate of their Wives , Wives the fate of their husbands , together wiih the cries and moans of tbe injured and dying , were truly horrifying . Every countenance seemed agitated ; whilst parents and relatives were running in all directions to discover those most dear to them . Every facility was afforded ( as soon as suitable arrangements could be made ) to allow parties to visit the mangled bodies , for the purpose of recognizing their friends and relatives . Great praise is due to tbe mayor and town police for the kind manner in which they conducted themselves towards the afflicted friends of the unfortunate dead and injured , whiist I am sorry to say the " rorals" did not evince a like spirit .

ExEctmoM at Lincoln . —On Friday last , at noon , the wretched woman , Eliza Joyce , was executed at Lincoln Castle for the murder of two children , one of them her own offspring , the other a child of her husband's by a former mairiage . An immense concourse of people assembled , particularly from the southern parts of the country , where she waa known personally ; many persons travelled fifty or sixty miles to be present at the execution . She had murpered another son of her husband ' s a boy fifteen years of age , by slowly poisoning him with arsenic ,
Tne boy died in October , 1842 , but the murdere for which she has been executed were both previous to this ; her husband ' s youngest child a year before , and her own infant , at three weeks old in January , 1842 . In both these cases , she had employed laudanum as her destructive agent . Common rumour has also made her guilty of two other murders , a young man , her sweetheart , in a fit of jealousy many years ago , and also her own father ; there is , however , no authority in any confession that she made as to these imputations .
DESTRUCTIVE FlRZ AT MANCHESTER . —MANCHESTER , Tuesday . —Last evening , at a little past ten o ' clock , another rapid and destructive fire , which , we regret to say , was attended with loss o life , broke out in this town , and in tbe course of an hour and a ralf property to the amount , as is supposed , of £ 25 , 000 was destroyed , without the slightest chance of iu being saved . The premises in question were an elegant pile of buildings , called Irweil Buildings , situate in Blackfriars-sireet , the Parsonage , and Water-street , and belonged to Messrs . Robt . Charlton and Brothers , calenders , makers up , and packers . Messrs . Cbarltou had the lowept story of the building , The next portion of the premises , in
Blackfriarsstreet , was occupied by six firms , viz ., Garner and Co ., Henry Jacquet , Henry Fisher and Co ., M . Ralli , Richard Rostron , and T . Halstead , export merchants , and Mr .. Mendel , also a foreign merchant , had the rooms fronting into Water-street . The building we understand , with the ' exception of the small portion which is fire-proof , was lined with wood , and had not a party wall in it ; and , therefore , as may well be imagined , fell an easy prey to the flames . In less than twenty minutes after the disoovery of the fire the whole of the building , which is fifteen windows long by five deep , and six stories high , was one masa of flame , wiih the exception ef tbe engine-house . Such was the intense heat that the Blackfriars Hotel and the
housis adjoining were several times oa fire , and it was only by a continued stream of water from two engines being poured upon them that they were saved . About half-past three o ' clock this morning a large portion of the wall in Water-street fell with a tremendous crash ; but fortunately no one was injured . The flameswerepartially subdued by twelve o ' clock , but tbe firemen continued their operations till sear seven o ' clock . About twenty minutes past six o ' clock , in spite of repeated warnings , itwo men , named Thomas Jackson , a packer , and James Irving , a joiner , in the employ of Messrs . Charlton , approached too near a wall at the back of the premises , which had long been in a tottering condition , when snddenly the cat-head" of the teatjle and the wall came upon them with a load crash . Irving was killed on the spot , and Jackson is so severely mangled that he is not expected to recover .

FRANCE . The Chambers were prorogued on Monday . The Fetes op Jolt . —Shocking Occurrence . — The correspondent of The Globe evening paper , in a etter dated Paris , July 30 , says : — The fete yesterday , but for the calamity which succeeded it , would have been the most brilliant thing ever witnessed in France . The evening being remarkably fine , there was for more than an hour a continued fatream of population pouring down , the

Boulevards towards the Champs Elysees—one really wondered how Paris , large aa it is , could contain so many persons . The fireworks works off with eclat , but were neither better nor worse than on former occaewaa . The illumination ia the Champs Eiyeees , was magnificent beyond description ; the entire aveauerup to what is called the Rond-point , was hung wuh variegated lamps to the number , it is " -JV- Fm ? oh ; more than a million ^ and these being arranged rn festoons , temples , &o , had an almost magical elteofc . Imagine the most splendid fiction of the Aribiau Nights trebled in real eplendour , and yO * ii *?? * « ht » and obIj a slight , idea of what the thing really waa . You may judge , however , of the extent of the illumination , by thefaofc that more than 1 , 300 men were employed ia lighting the lamps . After the fireworks there was a rush towards the Champs Elysees , and so impetuous was tnecrOWO , that hundreds of nfroons wnra tramnled
under foot . The scene was painful in the extreme , { several lemaleb were carried away fainting , some received dreadful bruises , and there is reasoD to believe , that « ven or eight at least , are dead . A little girl , twelve years of age , was taken into the guard-house , dead ; and of five persons , a man and four women , who were conveyed to the hospital , oae ( the man ) is since dead , and a woman was this morning considered in imminent danger . Two bodies were taken to the Morgue , but these deaths are supposed to have been the result of assassination , but under what circumstances has not transpired . In mentioning these five deaths , I do but give yoa the official statement of the police . This ia probably undercharged , and it is quite certain that many persons were taken away ia a dying state , of whom the police took no account . The screams of the women in the crowd were dreadful , aud to add to the horror of the aeene ^ many of them had infants ia their arms ;
Thb Coming Revolution . —The correspondent of the Dispatch says : —All circumstances , past and present , tend to prove that France , with a democratio Bjstem of government , would make strides in the arts of industry and peace unequalled , perhaps , in the history of nations . The true friends of freedom long to see France a Republic . The Englishman feels that a reactionary power will then ( as in the case ef the Revolution of 1830 aad the Reform Bill ) augment his own liberties . The Spaniard is ready to fraternize in working out the same system ; the Pole—the gallant Pole—expects it as a signal for asi 8 tance to throw eff the Russian tyrant ' s yoke ; the Italian prays for its early consummation as tbe
beacon of hope to cheer him on in his struggle against the Austrian despot and the oppression of his own native Princes ; the German would instantly respond to , the electrifying influence of French Republicanism , and shake the Thrones of his numerous petty rulers ; and the whole of the Northall that territory which , in former times , was comprised in the name of Scandinavia—would unfurl , with a simultaneous shout of joy , the banner of freedom . Let France set the great example—she will have plenty of followers—and that she will do so soon is apparent to every intellect whioh is not wilfully blind or deaf to the ominous ** signs of tho times . "
The War in Morocco . —Mabseilles , Jult 29 , 1844 . —The French steamer , La Ville de Paris , entered this port at five o ' clock , a m . Captain Double , orderly officer , attached to Marshal Soult , came as passenger with dispatches from General Bugeaod . Marshal Bugeaud informs his Government that he had received dispatches from the Emperor of Morocco , to the effect that he had ordered the Calipha who had attacked the French troops to be put into chains , and to be placed .: at the disposal of Marshal Bugeaud . The Marshal replied that he should refuse receiving the prisoner until lie bad received further instructions from his Government and that in the meantime , he should continue hostilities against the Emperor . Marhal Bugeaud , on tbe 22 nd current , had his head quarters at three leagues from Ouchda , and was continuing to burn the villages and destroy the crops on the Morocco territory .
The Paris papers of Saturday , are of course filled with comments on the declaration of Sir R . Peel id tbe House of Commons . The correspondent of the Morning Chronicle Bays , — The Ministry is much embarrassed by the turn affairs have taken in Tahiti , and their embarrassment is not a little increased by the universal support given by the Paris press * , and even by the usual supporters of the Government , to the extraordinary conduct of Captains Bruat and d'Aubigny . There is no doubt , however , that tbe Cabinet does not , and cannot , approve of what has been done , and
especially of the conduct of Captain d'Aubginy , who has acted with the most unjustifiable violence against a man who , if even all that is alleged , of his enmity were true , had bo forco to carry out such plans agamBl the French authorities . "I understand that M . Guizot , in the course of a conversation yesterday with a pevsoa of some political distinction , at his own office , eaid , with respect to Tahiti , 'It is a very grave question ; but I have got over great difficulties , and I hope this timo to get out with honour . ' The manner in which he expressed himself , however , was by no means confident .
The Siecle states that the British Government has delivered a note containing the following demands : —" Firstly , the dismissal of M . D ' Aubigny , the author of the measures adopted against the ex-Consul Pritchard ; secondly , the recal of Captain Bruat , who , on his' return , has eauotioned the measures adopted by the ad interim Government ; thirdly , the destruction of all the fortifications raised in the island whilst it has been placed under the de facto sovereignty of France ; fourthly , the establishment of an English station of equal force to that of France in order that in no case her Britannic Majesty ' s subjects may want sufficient protection . " In the Chamber of Peers , on Thursday , during the discussion of the budget , the Prince of Moskowa put a question to M . Guizot on the fubjtctof the war in Morocco , to which , according to the report in the Journal des i ) cbats < M . Gu ' zot made the following reply , whioh we translate literally : —
** M . Guizot—In the present state of our relations with Morocco , and at the point at which they have now arrived , it is not only right , but it is my duty to refuse all discussion and all explanation on the subject . The Prince of Moskowa has not only laid down a lino of policy , but a plan for tbe campaign . I cannot—I ought not—I will not—dispute any of those plans . I will confine myself to repeating two things which t have already said to the Chamber ; the one that the Government has formed no views of aggrandizement or of conquest on the territory of Morocco ; the other , which has determined it , and which ought to conduct it to the end which it proposes ! to attain , is that it has preserved the full liberty of action for arriving at that end" ( very good , very good ) .
LetteTB from Madrid of the 28 fa state th&t an extraordinary courier from Gibraltar had just arrived at the British Embassy in that capital , -whioh brought accounts that the Prince of Joinville having learned that the Marocains had for a third time attacked the French troops , and addressed to the Governor of Gibraltar and to the commander of tbe English squadron an official communication . In that despatch he informs them that he is about to go with his fleet to the Bay of Taneiers , with the
intention of attacking that place , and he expresses his conviction that , according to the understanding which exists between France and England , the English : squadron will abstain , during the operations , from appearing before TangierB . The Governor of Gibraltar and the commander of the English squadron sent an answer , in which they stated that the instructions of the English government to them was to observe the striotest neutrality , and that that neutrality would be observed till they received new orders .
Gibraltar , Jult 24 . — "The Priace de Joinville had just left our roads , with the whole of the fleet under his command , for the coast of Morocco . This movement on the part of the Prince is in consequence of the answer given by the Emperor to Mr . Drummond Hay ( which was received yesterday ) being unsatisfactory . The Emperor ' s answer , though expressing an anxiety for peace , is in some respects evasive , and the Emperor refuses to bind himself to submit strictly to all the conditions demanded by France . It is said that he contends that the attack was made by the French upon him , and not by him upon tbe French ; and he is said to
have expressed great indignation at the grasping policy of the French authorities , who have invaded a portion of his territory under pretence that it was their owa . I am assured that the Prince will not attack Tangiers , in consequence of an arrangement to that effect with England . In point of fact , the trade carried on by that town with England , France , Spain , and Italy , renders it more an European than a Moorish town . The Prince , I understand , will commence by attacking the other towns on the coast , and especially : Mogador , El Araoh , Mazagan , and Santa Cruz , which will , no doubt , be reduced to ashes by the formidable artillery with whioh the Prince is provided on board of his ships . "
The Paris Globe give these additional particulars : —It is on the 1 st of August that the delay given to the Emperer expire ? . In the absence of reparation , both satisfactory and in conformity with the ultimatum , the'instructions of the Prince de Joinville order him to open immediately the fire of his ships upon Tangiers , and if nothing happens in the interval to satisfy the legitimate complaints of France , to bnrn all the ships belonging to Morocco , and to bombard successively the placeB on the coast , without exception , both iti the Meditteranean and in the Atlantic . it is therefore probable , that at the moment when we frrite the French cannon have been thundering for three days ^ gainst the coast of Morocco , for it appears evident that the Emperor , whose good intentions otherwise appears evident , has it not in his power to grant that whioh France demands .

SWEDEN . The following aro extracts from King Oscar ' s speeoh on opening the Diet on the 20 . h of July : — " In the Temple of God » ve have just now invoked the protection of the Almighty . We shall derive the strength neoeaaary for that fulfilment of the sacred duties imposed upon ns from onr mutual obligations of attachment , fidelity , benevolence , and concord . I pledge myself to defend and maintain justice and troth , to aid the progress of knowledge , and to direct all my offorts to the development of the noble and solid qualities which belong to the manly acd energetio character of the people of the north . On your part I expect a sincere co-operation towards the accomplishment of this great object , and that confidence which is due from a magnanimous nation to purity of intention and unwearied vigilance for the welfare of the country .
" In summoning you , Gentlemen , to this extraordinary Diet , I have been j prompted by my earnest desire to see you assembled at a period so interesting for me and for the conn ry , rather than by the hope of preparing in a space of j time so brief and of submitting to you the important measures whioh are the objects of my solicitude , and regaiding whioh I wish to learn your opinions and ; resolves . " Besides , the great social questions whioh the last Diet has bequeathed to you will give you serious occupation , and command your particular attention . I hope , however , to be able during the present session to present to you several propositions for
measures of high interest ; and in the first place the plan of a new criminal code , conformable with the ideas of our age , as well jas with the efforts made for reconciling the severity necessary in the application of punishment with the respect due to the dignity of man . j " Appreciating the importance and the necessity of simplifying our domestic administration , and of completing our system of defeuco , I will devote my uninterrupted attention to those vital questions . In order that I may be supported in these labours by your enlightened concurrence , I intend soon to assemble you again in a new extraordinary Diet . "
UNITED ] STATES . Livebpooi ,, Sunday Evening . —The Great Western , Captain Mathews , which left New York on the 20 th of July , arrived here to day , at noon , with sixtyfive passengers , after a run of fourteen days and sixteen hours . | The treaty for the annexation of Texas , although thrown out by the Senate daring the late session , is intended by Mr . Tyler to be the ground on whioh he again claims to be continued during another term , in the Presidential chair . He has
accordingly , published in the Government paper , the Mudis < onion , a number of " secret '' documents which he sent to the Senate while that body with closed doors was debating the project , with ! a view to induce them to pats it . First , there ia a " imessage , " from Mr . Tyler to the Senate , in which he strongly expresses his own opinion in favour j of the treaty , as the only remedy of keeping Texas oat of the clutches of England ; the message also shows , that General Jackson entertains the same sentiment as Mr . Tyler himself , and all this is strengthened by the testimony of Mr . President Houston , who declares that the country , of wbioh he is the head , like a young bride , presents herself for the { espousals of the United States , and if on this the third occasion of
proffering her hand , she is rejected , great will be her indignation towards her uagallant suiter . A letter from a Mr . Allen to a Mr ! Walker , dated Houston , March 1 , 1844 , shows the feeling in Texas , in favour of the annexation , and that " if the effort fails , President Houston will make a Free-Trade treaty with England . " Finally , ithereiB a " circalar , " addressed to the Frenoh , Spanish , English , and Russian ministers , by an employe of the Mexican Government , in whioh the Santa Anna version of the project is put forth . The document goes at considerable length into the subject , and shows that the treaty , if effected , will be ] an act of gross injustice
to Mexico , as that country , has never acknowledged the independence of Texas , and still regards it as a province of the mother country . Flood 3 ^ —The New York papers give long accounts of floods on the great rivers—the Missouri , the Arkansas , White and Red rivers , and even the Mississippi itself , —by which wide and fertile plains have been , covered , crops , cattle , fences , aud ia some instances , houses and families , swept away , and numerous towns and villages inundated to the depth of ten or twenty feet . The flood at St . Louis , on the Mississippi is stated to have been three feet higher than it was during the great flood of
1785 . i Muhdbbs— A horrible murder has been committed at Philadelphia by a man ; named Flavel , who shot his wife and her niece with ;* pistol loaded with slugs . The latter died shortly after , and the wife was pronounced mortally wounded . —The body of a man was Found murdered on the 6 th inst ., at West-Hoboken . On examining his body , they found three wounds on his breast , two apparently inflicted with a knife , and the other , being a gun-shot wound , immediately over the heart . The deceased was ascertained to be G . A . Martin or Meccher , who had lately arrived in this country from Denmark , and had been residing at 42 , Dey-street . He is supposed to have brought considerable property with him , and is known to have carried a gold watch and a heavy chain , neither of which have been found . A yoang German , who was acquainted with the murdered man , was arreated
on suspicion . ' At New Orleans , on the 5 th inst ., a young lady about seventeen years of age , named Catherine Cummings , was brutally murdered by a man named Baune , or Bond , who was married , bat who had been paying , unsuccessfully , his addresses to his victim . He shot her through the heart . The next day the murderer was discovered to have committed suicide by shooting himself through the head . The unfortunate lady was to have been married on the day following ! that of her murder . Another murder was committed in New York on the 6 th inst ., on the body of a man named John Emery , a native of Newj Hampshire , by a woman named Sarah Smith . She had beat him over tbe right eye with a hammer , which fractured the bone forming the floor of the brain , producing extravasation of blood , which caused death .
The Grbat Western Flood . —The Baliioree American says : —We take this opportunity to say that Mr . Reilly , of Kaskaskia , llliBuis , a gentleman duly authorised , haa armed in our eity for the pnrpose of receiving such contributions as may be given for the relief of the distressed people in his neighbourhood . We sincerely hope his mission will be fruitful I of good results . The following note from Mr . R . describes the character and extent of the oalamity in the section from which he come « : " Kaskaskia is situated in the American bottom , three miles from the Mississippi river . In the TPcent rise , which was jat its greatest height on the ? 8 ' . h of June , the whole town , as well as the
surrounding country , was entirely inundated to the depth of from ten to twenty feet , a current passing over the town at the rate ofjfour or five miles an hour , carrying off many of the houses , and destroying all the com , wheat , and gardens in tbe whole lowland regions , and drowning immense numbers of cattle , hordes , &o . The inhabitants were driven to the bluffs to secure their lives , many of whom are entirely destitute , not . having provisions for a single day , nor the means for procuring them . I am certainly Within the bounds of truth , when I say there were on the 27 th June , above 1000 ofi the sufferers encamped along the bluffs opposite Kaskaskia , not knowing whither to fly , or how to preserve themselves from starvation . —Yours trufy , ! Daniel Reillt . "
A St . Louis paper , speaking of the oity of Kaskaskia and the town of Chester , says : "We regret to learn by late Western papers , that the city of Kaskaskia , Illinois , has been 6 wepfc away by the flood ; a few buildings only being left to mark the spot where but a few days ago stood a flourishing oity . Chester is ruined also . Millions of dollars' worth of property have been swept i away from the shores of the Missouri and the UpperMississippi Rivers and their tributaries . j Loss by Floods . —Some ; of the western papers estimate the loss to the States of Arkansas , Mississippi , and Louisiana , at twelve millions of dollars . It is no doubt immense . ; Philadelphia , Jwly 20—The correspondent of the Morning Chronicle writes : —
I am happy to say , that this city is once more free from riot and bloodshed . It continues , however , to present the appearance of a ; garrisoned town , several hundred soldiers being quartered here—the old Girard Bank having been converted into a sort of barrack . My impression is , that there will be no further outbreak . It is impossible , at the same time , to conceal the fact , that there is a strong feeling of prejudice among the-masRes against the Irish Catholics , owing partly to a few misguided and violent men of that body hay in e fired upon and murdered American citizens at Kensington , in May last , and to the fact that the church of St . Philip de Neri had been armed , almost as a fortress —though I believe only for protection and defence —by the Rev . Mr . Dunn . These things are publicly mentioned as the great causes of the riots
and bloodshed that have stained the oity ; in the latter instance , perhaps unjustly , as the act of arming the church for defence ] was certainly an act of folly ( such a conrse not being necessary ) , and not one of crime . Besides , the arms were all removed at the request of the mob « and yet they were not satisfied ; they attacked the ohuroh to gratify an evil disposition for destruction ; they attacked the Hibernia Greens ( soldiers ) ibeoause they were Irishmen ; attacked the military until they were fired upon , and then assailed the troops with cannon and musketry , in revenge for their having dared to support the laws . Many of the rioters have since been arrested , and it is hoped that they will be duly and signally punished , in the event of their conviotion . It is unfortunate—very mahpropot—that just at this crisis , a , " Bull" should have arrived in this country .

having been published at Rome , May 8 , 1844 , by tfce present Pop * , Gregory XVI . This " Ball , " in point of fact , denounces Bible Societies and condemns the translating and reading of the Bible ( in a Protestant sense ) ia the vnlgar tonge , fulminates strong censures against Luther , Calvin , et id hoe genus omne , and condemns a Bible and Tract Association ( the "Christian Leaguo" of New York ) , in two places by name ! The effect of this decree is to render broader and deeper the unhappy dissensions that exist here between Catholics and Protestants , and to induce many of the latter to believe , whatever might have been arg « d to the contrary by Bishop Hughes , of New York , and other eminent
Catholics , that the real object of the Catholic clergy in America was to exclude the use of the Bible , sofar aa in their power lay , from the public and national schools . Thus , the prejudice which at first only existed againqt the Irish Catholics , now extends more or less in this oity , at least , to nearly all the Catholic body . Numerous families of labouring Irish ; have recently left Philadelphia for the British provinces ; and I am informed that many resident families are averse to employing Irish servant girla who are Catholic . This kind of social persecution is deplorable and illiberal , and yet the history of mankind in all ages shows that it is but too common , a result of civil commotion , prompted by religious differences .
ITALY . Letters from Florence , of the 30 th , mention the death of Joseph Bonaparte , at one time King of NapleB , and after wards of Spain . He died on the 28 : h ult ., after a long illness . His brothers , Louis and Jerome , were with him is his last moments . Louis is now the head of the family , but his health is also very bad , and his successor is Prince Louis Napoleon , the prisoner at Ham . The Romagna is stated to be still in a very disturbed state . It is said , too , that the Pope is dangerously ill .
OTAHEITE . The latest accounts represent the natives as in a state of insurrection against the French , provoked by the tyranny and brutality of the latter . In the meantime the French have seized upon the Gambier Islands , and even threaten the Sandwioh . A storm seems to be brewing .
CANADA The Toronto Examiner of July 17 ch contains a long account of what might have proved a very serious aud bloody riot , between a number of Orangemen and a large party of Roman Catholic labourers , who assembled in the neighbourhood of that city . It appears that the Orange party had formed the intention of going on board a steamer , with their party colours , music , and deadly weapons , to the Falls of Niagara , where they intended to hare passed a gala day , and dined at the hotel , on the British side of the falls . Tne Roman Catholic ) labourers assembled , to the number of 1 , 500 , and
declared that unless the badges of the Orange party were suppressed , the arms thrown away , and every symptom of an offensive ! character taken from them , they would prevent the excursion . The Orange party , fearing the consequences , consented , and thus a breach of the peace , whioh , had it occurred , would have been of adeadly character , was prevented * The labourers were armed with muskets , bayonets , scythes , reaping hooks , and every imaginable instrument of destruction . These party broils between the Catholic aud the Orange parties are giving much annoyance to the local authorities ia Canada .
¦ WE ST INDIES . By advices from Dominica to the 23 rd of June , we learn that the insurrection had been quelled , and the operation of martiallaw suspended . The Governor issued a proclamation of amnesty to all , with the exception of the ringleaders , ninety of whom had had been retained in prison to undergo the decision of the laws , several hundreds have been discharged under the admonitory advice ofthe Governor . The islands had been overwhelmed with rains and floods , with great damage to the roads , &c . A singular discovery had been made in taking a census of the Island of Trinidad , being that of " two encampments of the aboriginal Indians ofthe island , belonging to a race perfectly distinct from any hitherto known .

Emley . —On Monday last the Odd Fellows of this locality , in connection with the Manchester Unity , held their anniversary . At two o ' clock the Odd Fellows Hall , capable of affording accommodation to upwards of five hundred persons , was filled by the brethren of the Order , and such of the inhabitants as could oonvenientlj be accommodated . The patties were so assembled to listen to an address by Mr . Joshua Hobson , Editor and Publisher of the Northern Star , who had engaged to attend for tnat purpose ; but business of importance , connected with the Huddersfield meeting , preventing his attendance , Mr . David Ross , of Leeds , at his request , kindly undertook the engagement , and lectured in his stead , taking for his Bubject , " The inability of a government constituted like ours to meet the wants of the age . " 11 is worthy of remark that Mr . Ross was the
first who had attempted to lecture in thiB locality , oo man ' s social and political redemption . Hitherto we have had only sermons and homilies ; but on Monday we enjoyed a treat such as will not readily be forgotten . The lecturer , in a ^ clear and masterly manner , spoke on the question of Odd Fellowship ; after which he pointed out the means necessary to be adopted to restore man to his natural position in society ; and concluded by an eloquent and soul-stirring explanation of the principles contained in the People ' s Charter . Never did a better feeling pervade an audience than on this occasion . An unanimous vote of thanks was given to the lecturer , and from a hundred mouths the question was asked , " When will Mr . Ross visit us again ] '' After the lecture about 150 of the brethren partook of a good substantial dinner , which , like iho previous proceedings , gave entire satisfaction to all who partook of it .
