Moniay ^ Jutyld . lord Whakxcliffe , in reply to Earl Radnor , feaid j that the Government did not intend to bring forward J any specific measure for the relief of the existing j distress , "which they believed to bo ameliorating by tfrai . revival of trade and commerce ¦ which was following the passing of the recent measures . The Lord Chan cellos , moved the second reading of three bills , vrhich he thought might all be discussed j together—the Bankruptcy Bill , the Lunacy Bill , and the County Conrta BilL By the Bankruptcy Bill , itj was proposed to extend the jurisdiction of the London . Commissioners from 40 to 100 miles round the Metro- J poUs ; by the Lunacy Bill , to establish C jmmi&sioners ] far the trial of cases , and to diminish the extravagant j

Tbe noble and learned i lord made a long statement , and entered at length on i the snbjects of ttie three bills . I Lord Coitbsham expressed regret that the Bills did ¦ nofc go far en » ogh . He reviewed their provisions , j pointing out where he thought they would prove insuf- s ficient , professing himself favourable to the entire abo-j lition of imorisoument for debt , and contended that if ; in the Bankruptcy Bill the principles for which he ] argued were not embodied , it would be difficult to do ¦ so at a future period .

HOUSE OF COMMONS , Friday , July 15 . Mr . Gladstone introduced a Bill to remedy a typographical error in the ebw Customs Duties Act ; 1842 . being printed for 1843 in the timber duties schedula The bill will be made incidentally to serve the purpose of removing the duty which the new tariff imposed on eement-stcne ; and which , although it passed unnoticed at the time , is fotmd to be really injnrioss . The House resumed the Committee of Supply , and passes another long string of votes ; the discussion of -which possessed little interest On going into Committee , tbe Chancellor of the Exchequer stated , in answer to Mr . Charles Wood , that the doubt as to the law whether light sovereigns may be cut was under consideration .
Tnevote of £ 50 , 000 fcr education occasioned an explanation from Sir James Graham , that this grant will not at present be Increased ; but if Government determine to propose a , grant to the Exeter Hall classes , it will be applied tor in a separate form . Sir . Bobert Inglis , hoping that Government would not Buffer themselves to be represented by Lord WharncHffe / the Liberalism of whose speech in the House of lords on Thursday he attacked , drew upon himself a sharp rebukefrem Sir James Graham ; who taxea him ¦ with pursuing a course calculated to sow dissension amonsrthe members of the Administration , while he was otjecting to views agreed to in a compromise between the late and the present Administrations &E < 1 anerftmad by tiie ^ Bishops . Sir Robert Inglis admitted ike iusdieeof tbe rebuke .
On ihe vate of £ 50 000 . for education in Ireland , lad Eliot warmly defended the system of education in that country ; and another Httle dispute arose in an attack by Sargeant Jackson , the Solicitor-Gtenenl for Ireland , on the Irish Secrttoy . Tha House divided en the voto , and it was carried by 94 to 0 2
Saturday , July 16 . Mi . Ricakdo asked if the GoTernznent had received any intimttion of tbe reported disturbances in tbe Potteries , - . - ¦ Six X . Ghahas s&id some accounts of disturbances in the Potteries had been received by the Government ; and , consequentlyj a email mLitary force had been cent to ISewcastis-under-Lyne . Sir J . Geabam said it had been bis fixed deterainaticm to proceed with the Mills' and Factories * Bill , fcut . -at tbe advanced stage of the Session and the present state of pnblic business , he did not think he should be justified in proceeding with the measure during the present year . He should , therefore , postpone the Bill nntil next Session . Mr . Hi ¥£ S isqaired if it was intended to proceed with the Ecclesiastical Courts * Bill this Session . Sir J . Graham said he had no intention to do so this Session .
W r . V- Sxith— " DaeB the Right Honourable Ba « r et intend to proceed with his Ecclesiastical Leasing Bill this Siission ?" Sir J . Ghaham— " Tea , I do intend to persevere in passing this BilL It is my intention to go on with this measure . * Tie Licensed Lunatic Asylums Bill passed through Committee . The Fisheries ( Ireland ) Bill passed ttrough Coi&inittee , and the report was ordered to be received on Tufsiay . AdjonrnejL Monday , July 18 .
Mr RoEBtiCK # btained leave to plead at the bar of Hie House of Commons , in support of the SudburyDisfranchtBement Bill ; and he also announced that the report of she Election Compromises Committee would be ready for the end of the week . In reply to Mr . Hawks , Sir Robeb . 1 Peel said that be would take the sutg-. ct of Church extension into his serious consideration daring the recess , and would state his intentions in the ntxt session . Sir R- H . Jkgits then postponedhi « Church extension motion t ll next session . Lord Elioi intimated that tbe report of the Irish Census Commissioners would be ready in a fertnight On the motion for going into a Committee of Supply , Sir . Shiel called attention to the policy pursued in Irelasd . TUB present Government , through Sir Eobert
Peel and Lord Eliot , h »^ RTiprmpff *^ their determination to disregard all party considerationa in the adminis-trstion of th © government of Ireland . Bat this "was contradicted by the conduct of the Irish Government ; by the nature of its appointaents ; by the actions of its partisans , more especially as evinced during the last Dublin election ; and lastly , though not leastly , by the conduct of the legal agents of the Irish Government is packing juries , challenging most respectable Catholics , in order to secure Protestant jurors and favourable verdicts TMb latter allegation he illustrated by several instances , more especially in the case of the trial ot toe proproprietor of the Belfast Vindu ^ dor . He concluded his speech by referring to the case of the restoration of Mt St . George to the magistracy , and moved for the correspondence relating to it
Lord Eliot rejoiced in the opportunity thus afforded him of vindicating the Irish GoTernment He contended ths& tbs declarations wlucb J 10 had mads bad been acted up toin BpMEas in letter . He rerwwed the ¦ various appointments of the Irish Government , and Justified ita interference in the Dublin election ; de-«» aded the comduct of the Irish Crown Solicitor , with reference to the trials adverted toby Mr . Shiel ; and , after explaining the circumstances attending the restoration of ill . St George to tie magistracy , declared that it would be inexpedient to produce the required correspondence . *
Sir Willjak Sokhebtille thought that the grave ehargee adduced by Mr . Shiel were calculated to throw discredit on the impartial administration of justice , and with reference tojtbe « fo * H »« Efa g of jurors , giving doe credit to the explanations of Lord Eliot , considered that it was at least unfortunate that there should have been such a preponderance of Protestants on these trials It was a monstrous state of things that articles freely published in the Homing Cknxiide dare sot fee reprinted in the Dublin papers to fear of » pro
Mr . Sergeant Jxcssox adduced ca *« ia which . Mr . O'Conuell and Mr . Shiel himself had peremptorily chal lenged Protestant jurors ; at the same time denying , in the most positive manner , that in tbe recent trials jurors had been set aside , because they were Roman Catholics . He defended , amongst others , the appointment of Mr . Ba ? on Lefroy , whom he affirmed to be one of the nuwfc eminent equity lawyers in Ireland , and vrbo , before his elevation by the present Administration , bad refased three offers ef judgeships from different

Governments ; and affirmed that the article In the Belfast rindioator was calculated to disturb the peace of the eoantiy , and was , therefore , a fit subject of prosecution . After a few words of explanation from Sir William Sommerville , and from Mr . Shiel , in explanation of the case quoted agslBst him by Mr . Sergeant Jackson , Mr- MoasiK John O'Connell entered generally into tha subject of the discussion , contending , more especially , that the present Irish Government , by their libel prooecutioiis , were attempting to stifle the liberty of the press . ; Lord Joceltn justified hi * interference in the Dublin election , denying that in his canvass any threats bad been held out to such of the electors as were under Castle controuL The late Government had , however , used their influence to compel the Dublin electors to vote against their feelings and conscience .
Mr . C Bullbb .. after commenting on Lord Jocelyn ' s admissions , contended that the proceedings which bad taken place in Ireland were calculated to inspire , alarm with respect to the impartial administration of justice in that cbuutry . It was difficult to believe that chance was the cause of the exclusion of Catholic jurors , and the terms used by the Chief Justice Peraefather , in his charge to the jury en the trial for libel of the Belfast rindicator , were far more fit for a violent partisan than a judicial expositor . The Irish Gore ' mment had done itself no good by a prosecution which , if directed against the press of this country , wou ' . dput an extinguisher on that entire and unrestrained freedom , of discussion which it had enjoyed for the last tenyears .
Sir James ( Jbaham recounted the Irish judicial appointments of the late Government , which were the result of political considerations as much as those of the present Government In the unhappy state of society in Ireland peculiar difficulties attended the administration of justice , and tbe right of challenge of the jurors was , therefore , a matter of great importance . This right had been exercised in the recent cases according to established rules and with perfect impartiality , attested by the fact that Chancellor Sugdea , on investigation , was perfectly satisfied . The Government had no disposition to resent newspaper attacks by prosecutions ; but the one in question in this debate was calculated to disturb the peace of the country by impugning trial by Jury in Irelasd .
Lord PaLHERSTON , giving credit to the Lord Lientenant for stood intentions , was not surprised at the failure of the Irish Executive in obtaining the confidence of the people . Their appointments were unfortunate ; and the right of challenging jurors ought undoubtedly to ba exercised so as to inspire confidence in the Administration of justice . Still , he was pleased with the tone of the debate which was honourable to both sides of the House , and indicated that change of feeling which Lords Normanby and Fortescue had been so instrumental in bringing about . Mr . GB . EGOB . T denied that he had pledged himself on tbe subject of the national system of education , though he was opposed to any system which did net take the Scriptures fcr its basis . No undue influence had been exercised at his election for Dublin .
Sir R , Peel , after contrasting Mr . Shell ' s speech and motion , said that Mr . St . George had been , from an early period , his personal friend . He admitted that Mr . St George ' s letttr to LordNormanby had justified bis removal from titte magistracy , bat be was restored on explanations which were considered satisfactory . Eirl de Grey had reluctantly been persuaded to nndertake tbe government of Ireland ; but having done so , he was too honest and firm to permit subordinates to dictate- to him . Lord Eiiot , as Chief Secretary , and Sir E iward Sugden , as Lord Chancellor , were also proofs and guarantees of his intentions in the government of Ireland . Though he acted on bis
avowed principles of preferring his political friends ne looked to' professional eminence rather than parliamentary influence , & 8 evinced by the characters of Mr . Justice Pennefather and Mr . Baron Lefroy . He waa somewhat turprised at Lord Pa mersloo ' s assurance in objecting to tbe elevation of tbe latter-mentioned judgu ~ b . e who as a member of the late Government had been a party to offering the Chief Baronship to the strenuous advocate cf the repeal of the Union , Mr . O Connell ! The character of Mr . Sergeant Jackson also justified bis having availed himself of his services . He concluded by contending that he bad fully act ^ d up to the spirit of his declarations with Tespect to Ireland .
Colonel Vebnee addressed some observations to a Loisy and impatient House ; after which a division took place , when there appeared 146 to 75 . It bein * npwards of half-past twdve , Mr . Hume and Mr . ~ Bb . otbes . tos objected to going into a Committee of Supply ; but after considerable altercation , tte House went into Committee , and a vote was taken for the Militia Estimates . The House then proceeded to the orders of the day ; and on the South Australia Bill , some remarks of Lord Stanley provoked Mr . Hume to complain of his impertinent conduct This txprassion Le retracted , when called on by the Speaker . The other orders of the day were then disposed of , and the Houas adjourned .

DISTRESS IN THE METROPOLIS . To tie eye of the superficial observer , there is little , if indeed any distress to be found in this mighty metropolis . Tbe suburban fairs are well attended , tbe rirer Thames crowded with strain boats , ant the various places of public anmsement , thronged with apparently happy faces and light hearts i There are but few fee ? gars in tbe streets ; and no particular object of distress meets the eye—or if it does , it is passed by , as unworthy of notice , and undeserving in itself . In short , society in London presents a eomplete collection of contradictions—as monstrous as the portress of hel in Milton—half divinity , half snake—majestic and beautiful above , grovellins and poisenous below . Whoever desires to obtain even a bare existence in the metropolis must sacrifice the physical want * to the artificial—^ from the office clerk to the messenger , and from the artisan to tbe veriest shop boy .
It is from these false appearances that a mistaken idea of abundance and comfort arises ; the face wears the smile of plenty , but the canker of poverty is- eaiing into the heart . It is the hectic flush of consumption , sptaking only of the worn and dec % ying system . There are in London and Southwark five courts for the recovery of small debts—tbe City Court of Requests —the Osbornt-street Court for the Tower Hamlet *—the Castlo-Btreet Court for the City and Liberty of Weatr minstsr—the Southwark Court of Requests , and the Middlesex County Conrt in Kingsgate-street , Holborn ! It is to these places that the eye of the benevolent should be turned—it is here that the manifold wants
end miseries of tens of thousands become but too painfully palpable—here tbe under current of human life flows openly and freely—here may be observed daily the struggling of honest poveity with overwhelming hopelessness—mothers eloquently and children mutely imploring " Have patience , and I will pay thee alL " The scenes of abject distress , and the constant recurrence of them , might melt the heart of any ; eo artless , indeed , and yet withal so heartrending , are many of the cases in their detail , that many plaintiffs , on getting acquainted with the particulars , have generously forgone their * i « i < T !« , and regretted that their enforcement had ever been attempted .
The" following is an illustrative case in point . It aSbrds also an instructive lesson of the manner in whicb the faces of the poor are ground to the earth by both Christian and Jew slopsellers : — Westminster Court of Requests—A tall , careworn-looking widoT woman , ( it would not be out of place to say widow lady , ) of about forty years of age , and whob * carriage and manners evident y showed how keenly a sensitive mind was struggling up against misfortune , was summoned for £ 1 18 a . by a Scotch baker , named Charles Watts . On the name being bellowed forth by the crier , the poor lady seemed to shrink within herself as she stepped before the gazs of the commissioners and a y&ry crowded court . .-. ¦ --
The usual interrogatories having been pat to the plaintiff and sworn to , the defendant w&s ask&d why she had refused to pay a debt which she did not dispute?—Because , Sir , said the defendant , choking with grief , I am utterly unable . Commissioner : —Then why did yeu contract it ?—To keep my poor daughter from a premature death by starvation [ bursting into tears ] - Sir , I have three helpless daughters , and hoped , by untiring industry at the needle , together with such little aid aa they could give , to find ourselves a scanty portion of bread and tea , and a home , however humble , to rest in ; but from morning until midnight , the uttermost we can earn barely exceeds a Jsbilling per day } Commissioner : —What description of work is it ?—Shirt and collar making , Sir , for a large warehouse in the City .
Commissioner : —And how are you paid ?—Defendant : —For some shirts twopence and twopence-halfpenny each— these are gentlemen ' s fancy coloured shirtc ; but for the very b « Bt work—for a shirt that the fastest workwoman cannot make in a whole day—we seldom are paid as much as a shilling . For collars , && , a penny and three-halfpence each—never more J Commissioner ( a warm-hearted looking fellow )—Mer ciful God ! why , how do you contrive to exist t ¦ . Sir , said the poor widowed woman , it Is not an existence— -it is a lingering death of protracted starvation ^ I feel my strength to be fast wearing away ; but this I know , that there are thousands of poor women even worse than I , and God above knows that my home , like ay heart , is cheerless and desolate —( extreme sympathy appeared to be manifested by all present ) I cannot , && the poor woman , pay thademand yet ; it is a just one , I admit , and I will

DISTRESS IN THE POTTERIES . The accounts received from Buralem ( the metropolis of the Potteries ) and the mining and manufacturing districts in the neighbourhood , are of the moat alarming description . It would appear that , influenced by the badness of trade , or by some other motive which can be best and only truly explained by the masters themselves , there has been within the last two or three weeks an attempt made to reduce the wages of the men employed in the collieries of North Staffordshire , and the turn-out of the miners has necessarily by the want of coal seriously aflVcted the men occupied In the potteries and iron works . The proximate cause of the facts , according to the statements of gentlemen just arrived frosi Burslem , appears to be the reduction pf 7 d . per week from the wages hitherto paid by Mr . Sparrow .
whose works are situated near Burslero , The same authorities state , that such is the magnitude of Mr . Sparrow ' s establishment , that tbe reduction of 7 d . in each : man ' s wages will make a difference of not less in the aggregate than £ 300 per week . Be the cause , however , what it may , the Potteries , according to the accounts , have been in a very fearful state . On Wednesday , Burslem , Hanley , Stoke , Tunatal , and Lane-End , the chief towns witbin the Potteries , were greatly excited ; so much so indeed , that the authorities deemed it necessary to call in the immediate aid of the county police and military . The turnouts , to the amount of some thousands , visited the collieries , iron-works , and potteries , where men were to be found who hod accepted the reduced scale of wages ,, and . in some
instances inflicted peraona . 1 violence upon men v ? bom they found peaceably engaged at woik . Afc Fentonpaxk \ t is Eta ted that one man was thrown into scalding hot water , and in other places acts of the / grossest violence were committee } . On Wednesday the discontented assembled in peat numbers , and their ! line of muster , if not of march , extended from Tunstal to Lane-end , a distance of at least seven miles . Some detachments of Yeomanry paraded the district , but this description of force beiag deemed insufficient to meet the emergency , application was made for the assistance of her Majesty's troops . Alderman Copeland , the member for the Potteries , arrived at the eeat of the Earl of
Dartmouth , at Sand well , on Wednesday afternoon , for tbe purpose of obtaining advice , and if necessary military aid . Lord Dartmouth being , however , from home , the worthy Alderman resorted to other means , and the same evening a troop of tbe 3 rd Dragoons , from the Birmingham barracks , left Birmingham for the disturbed districts . Persons arriving from Burslem state , that 6000 workmen have turned out , and that boatloads of assistauts for a row have arrived from Bilfit » n and other manufacturing districts of South Staffordshire , The insurgents were on Thursday marching forCheadle , but it was confidently hoped that the precaut onary measures adopted by the authorities would prevent further outrage .
A letter dated Birmingham , Friday evening , saya : — " Things are in a dreadful state in the Potteries—all the colliers out , and I ftarnext week will not paBS over without dreaful work—thousands parading the streets with large sticks in their hands . The manufacturers must give over this week . Soldiers are arrived—meat and money are already demanded by the poor creatures , and who , in the name of God , can blame them if they take it Human endurance cannot much longer continue , and where it will end God only knows . I have just seen a gentlemen who parsed through the Potteries to-day , and he says no serious acts of violence have yet been committed , but they appear ready for iniscblef . The roasters have proposed a reduction of wages , not requiring the labour of the men at all , audtaathas caused the present confusion- Yesterday the mob carried off provisions out of the shops at Stoke , and Borne , I am told , iave been apprehended . "
A letter from Newcastle-under-Line , dated July 14 th , Bays— " I arrived here last nigbt from Stafford . On entering the town , 1 found it more like a garrison than any thing else . Last night the colliers came into the town in hundreds , and caused great commotion . Sj great was the alarm , that the troop of Nowcastle Yeomanry Cavalry were called out , and stationed at the Duke of York and other public-houses . To-day the colliers arrived In large numbers , and commenced levy * ing contributions on the inhabitants of Lane-end , or Longton . They visited and stopped all the works at which any men were employed , and took out several of the men who were at work , and ducked them in a pond ; and when remonstrated with by the magistrates on the . impropriety of their conduct , the answer they gave was , that it woaid be better for tkem to be allot than Bee their children starve . At this moment , I
uudeistand , the town of Longten , which is four miles from here , is in gr- * t confu&ion , and much few is entertained for the resu . t of to-night The Newcastle troop has just marched out , hfeaded by , they say , fifteen magistrates , amongst whom are Captain Power and tbe Reverend Mr . Snejd . Two troops of the 12 th Foot have also arrived from Weed on barracks by express , and what the result of to-night may be Qod only knows . I wish I was at — , out of the noise . The people here art ia much distress , but it is to be regretted that the poor people cannot Bee they are only increasing their d-ffijuHies ; but it ia folly to reason with starving men . In Stafford and all the adjoining towns I found similar distress . I do hope Parliament will not separate withcut doing something to relieve tbe distress . If they do , take my word there will be one traveller less upon thu road . "
Subsequent accounts from these districts represent that , bad as appsarancts certainly were , the alarm has passed away . The above statements , it will be borne in mind , refer to proceedings previous to last Sunday ^ The accounts since received from the Potteries give a very favourable report of the state of the district . Tha system of perambulating the roads in bodies and levying contributions on the inhabitants has been abandoned , and th « colliers confine their operations at present to visiting the pits , and compelling all wbom they Snd at work to join the turn out . Nearly the whole of the mines and iion works are at a stand still , none of the men being permitted to come to terms with their masters until the demands of all have been complied with . This state of things will continue so long as the colliers have the means of supporting themselves ; but in tbe meantime business is suspended to & very considerable exteat among all classes , and particularly amongst the small shopkeepers and tradesmen .

AMERICA . The Britannia steamer , from Boston and Halifax , arrived at Liverpool on Saturday morning , at a quarter before eleven o ' clock . By her we have recaived New York papers to the 1 st , Philadelphia to the 1 st , Boston to the 2 ad , and Halifax to the 5 th , and from Canada generally to a corresponding late date . The Britannia is a day behind her usual time of arrival , as usually calculated , which arose from her bciDg detained off Halifax , on her way from Boston , for thirty-six hours , by a most dense fox , which rendered it unsafe to run for the harbour . She sailed from Halifax on the morning of the 6 th , having left Boston on the 2 nd , and has made the voyage under ten days . She has fiftyseven " passebgexs , amongst whom is Major Cooke , the bearer of despatches from Lord Aahburtbn .
( From the New York American of July 1 . ) The political occurrences of the last few weeks in the United States have been discouraging to all who love their country , and hope for the perpetuity , as well as efficiency , of ita free institutions . At Washington discord prevails . The President ia without the confidence of Congress , or a « y considerable portion of it , and the result is disagreement as to almost all important public measures . The state of the revenue laws 10 such as to make it questionable whether any duties can now be collected ; for the Compromise Act had its completion yesterday , and from that date new dutieB , and new modes of levying
those dntifB were to be arranged . Bat the legislation on the subject contemplated by the Compromise Act , has not been matured , and to meet this contingency a temporary Bill w » fl passed , extending to August 1 st the duties in force on June 1 st , and the laws for collecting them . Upon this temporary Bill the President has put his veto , and as there are not two-thirds in either House to carry the Bill , notwithstanding the veto , it is defeated , and the collection of 4 nj revenue will be disputed . _ ; The effect npon the credit and financies of the general' Government of this quasi anarchy at Washington cannot be otherwise than disastrous , and even more disastrous will be its effect upon the affairs and business of the nation at large .
Turning from the affairs of the Union to those of the State of Rhode Island , we see much to deplore there . The rebellion , indeed , is crushed—we think now finally—but innocent blood has been shed . Martial law has been proclaimed in a time of profound general peace . Money is very abundant , and first-rate paper is in demand at from six to seven per cent , interest per annum . New York Slate Stock , since the closing of the books , have fallen from one to two per cent . U . S . Six per Cents , are daily taken for investment at par and interest ; and unless a farther amount is injudiciously issued , will not be lower .
Public feeling is much excited in New Orleans , in regard to the condncfc of the banks now in suspension , and we fear some violent outbreak . At the last dates from there of the 22 nd instant the discount on the notes of the suspended banks varied from seven to'thirty-eighfc per cent .

Ambrican News . —Liverpool , Thursday morning . —The Hibernia , Captain Burber , arrived at this port to-day , and by her we have dates from New York to the 24 ih ultimo , / inclusive . The papers of the 22 nd say the failures among merchants continue numerous , and businesH generally ig " exceedingly" dull in all its departments . The state of bnBiness is sensibly felt by the banks , which have lost the most profitable part of their business , consisting of the deposits .- ' . 'of-ihe . . small dealers about town ; We apprehend that near three-fourths of the business derived from the deposits of that class of dealers have ceased to be . It is understood that the labours of Lord Ashburton are nearly brought to a close .
N p doubt is now entertained that the negotiations will . be satisfactorily consummated at an early day . A meeting in favour of the Hon . Honry Clay for the office of president of the United States , was held at the National Hallj in Canal-streeVi'n the 23 rd ult , Stephen Whitney , Esq ., was called to the chair , and J ' . Phillips Pl"O 3 aix and others were appointed vicepresidents . Letters were read from the Hon . N . P Tallmadge , Hon ; Luther Bradishi and qthefaj expressing their concurrence in the objects of the meeting , but regretting that they could not be present . In consequence of the heated state of the room , the meeting : adjourned to Canal-street , where addresses were made . The performances were dosed by a song ia honour of Mr . Ciay .
The Grain Crop OF the United Statfs . —All accounts concur in saying , notwithstanding rust in Lower Virginia , and wet cold weather elsewhere , it will be superabundant . Belgium . —French Tariff . —The greatest oxcitemeut continues to prevail in Belgium on account of the French ordonnance for increasing the import duties on linens . The answers of the King of Belgium and bi 3 ministers , to the addresses of the numerous deputations from the trade , are couched in such a guarded manner that it is impossible to form any opinion as to the success of the ; negotiations
conducted by Mr . Kindt , at Paris , for a modification of the new , law which is to take effeot on the 120 th July , on the Belgian frontier ; but we . 'think ' th « following account likely to be near the truth , it is given in the PariB correspendenee of one of the Brussels papers : — "The Belgian government has declared , to ours , that it could not grant the concessions demanded by us iu return for a reduction of duty on linens , and that it ; would feel itself obliged to use reprisals if some modification of the law of 26 th June last be not made . It is added that the Belgian ministry has decided to open negotiations with Prussia for entering into the German customs ' union . "
Important from St . Domingo— Revolution-in Hayti—President Boyer Deposed . — " We learn to-day , ' sayB the Philadelphia Journal of June 23 , " from Captain Hill , of the brig William Thatcher , which arrived here from St . Croix , on Saturday , which place she left on the 7 th , that just before his departure he was informed by ene of the most re ^ spectable citizens of St . Croix , that letters had just been received by an arrival from Si . Domingo , giving the important information that a revolution had taken place in the island , that President Boyer had been deposed , and had been , or Would be , put to death . In the hurry of departure , Captain Hill did not make very particular inquiries . . The impress on , however , ia strong on his mind that his informant said that President Boyer had been put to death , but of this he is not positive . "
The French Regency is to be given to the Duke of Nemours , eldest brother of the late Duke of Orleans , and in the event of his death , to the Prince do Joiuville and the Dukes d'Aumale and
Moripenm sucoea-. M . Thiers has returned to Paris , and ib already in the thick of the intrigues iipou the Regency question . He is very eager that the King should advise with him about it . Belgium has reduced the import duty on French wines and salt , and increased the import duty on English thread .

EXECUliOKS FOB MURDEB . —CiONMEt , JULT , 16 . —Tnis afternoon Byrne and Quilty ( the -former . for the murder 6 j Robert Hall , Esq ., the latter for the murder of a man named Laffan ) paid thefori ' eit of their lives in front of our coianty gaol , the scene of so many similar melancholy spectacles , There . were present at least five thousand persons . Public anxiety was much' excited in consequence of the report i which * very generally prevailed , that Byrne would make a full disclosure of the fearful part taken by him in the murder 6 f Mri Hall . Ho was , however , totally ; ' silent upon ( that top ^ ic , although previously to his execution , arid whilst in his cell , he occasionally adverted to that horrible assassination , and said the part which had been •' assigned " him
in that tragedy by bis prosecutors was not that which had been performed hy him . The conduct of the wretched man afforded a satisfactory proof of the influence of the Roman Catholic priesthood over convicts of the worst claBS—the contrition of Byrne having been manifested in a manner which showed how deeply he felt the enotmity of the revolting crime for whioh he suffered . The nnfortanato youth , guilty , who ivas little , more than twenty years of age , protested his innocence in the most energetic manner , as well in bis last moments as repeatedly since his conviction . He stated that he not only had not been at any murder , but that his feelinea recoiled
at such atrocities . Both convicts , suffered very little after the executioner had drawn the fatal bolt . Amongst the immense crowd assembled it seemed to be the fixed and universal opinion that Quilty was aa innocent as theother convict was guilty : But the eame impression of the innocence of Quilty extended even beyond the multitude , and some of the upper classes , without distinction of party , appear to regard it M , at least ; a donbtful case . However , all speculation is now unavailing * The bodieBof the two inen executed were interred in the evening in the place allotted for tkat purpose jn ' lthe gaalyard .
