SPA [N. PARTS, JULY 3.—A British courier has arrived with Madrid news of the 27th. The Regent had stopped at Albaceta, and sent to Van Ilalen to join him. The latter had lound the troops of Alvarez so disorganised before Granada that he was obliged to withdraw them. The Memorial des Pyrenees of the 29ih ult. states that a great number of deserters from the Spanish regiments quartered in Favre and in the Basque provinces, have pre t sented themselves latterly to the French authoities 011 ih tronter, in the arrondissement of Mauleon. These nun have been sent forward to Pau, whence they have been either located in the interior or received as recruits for the legion in Algeria, for which a number of those deserters have offered to enlist. The intelligence from Spain, by the Paris papers of Monday, is very unfavourable to the Regent's cause. Although the ra- pidity with which the insurrection spreads is, probably, exag- gerated, and its triumphs, no doubt, prematurely predicted, it is high time, when such a place as Pampeluna has followed the example of Barcelona, Carthagena, Burgos, Corunna, &c.,that Espartero should strike the blow for which he has directed his efforts to the north east. The following telegraphic despatches reached the French Government on Sunday Bayonne, July 2. The garrison of Pampeluna and of its citadel effected theii prvnunciamento the day before yesterday. A junta has been formed its President is a Brigadier. All the posts on the frontier, excepting Irun and Fuenta- ratiia, have acknowledged the pronunciamento of Navarre, by command of the Captain General. Van Halen has retired to Jaen, whither he arrived on the 21st. Cordova etTected its pronullciamento on the 23rd; the Governor and garrison went and joined Van Halen. There was nothing new at Madrid on the evening ot the 28th." Perpignan, July 2. Ceuta, Algesiras, and the camp of San Roque have effecte,l their pronunciamentos

DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION AT VALPARAISO. f From the Valparaiso Gazette of the 16th, 17th, and 18th o^ March, just received by a vessel ariived at Swansea, we learn that that city has been the scene of a calamity such as has never before been equalled in Chili. At a quarter past 8 p.m., on the 15th March, flames were first seen breaking through the roof of the naval stores of Messrs. Julian and Lopez. An at- tempt to break down the connexion between the burning edifice and a newly-built house having failed, the fire spread with the utmost rapidity, embracing a wide range, threatening to extend over the whole circumference, which it brilliantly illuminated. Great efforts were made to save the Bourse, by pulling down houses in ita vicinity, and fortunately, with success. On the other side of the place, however, where the fire originated, its progress was not arrested till it had destroyed the whole range of houses reaching near to the sea. To persons ignorant of the topography of the town, it is lm- possible to convey an exact idea of the extent of this terrible conflagration, the damage caused by which is estimated, by tbe Gazette, at 2,000,000 dollars, or £ 400,000, though this state- meat in a subsequent number is somewhat modified. Imme liatety after the first alarm, the Minister of War, the Governor, and the other persons of influence were on the spot, and prompt assistance was rendered, under their and others' directions, by < great number of firms of various countries, many of whose names are gratefully and honourably recorded in the Gazette. In the list we observe especially mentioned M. Al6e, the com- mander of the Reine Blanche, and the greater part of his crew, Captain Hammond, of the Salamander, assisted by Lieutenant Carpenter and 70 men, Captain Garrick, of the Pearl, who narrowly escaped from the flame*, and Captain Heath, who rendeied great service in the preselvation of the Bourse. The crews of the vessels, both French and British, gave the most valuable aid by their courage, promptitude, discipline, and strength. Prompt measures had been taken to repair the consequences jf this sad calamity-Io collect in one place all goods rescued 'rom the flames, and to make arrangements for the resumption •A business, which had been entirely interrupted.

MELANCHOLY EVEN r-LOSS OF FIVE LIVES. The following is an extract from a letter received yesterday in the city, from Gibraltar, dated June 21, 1843 — This beautiful bay, I regret to state, has been the scene of < most distressing accident, involving the loss of five lives.- Last week a party was formed by some ladies and gentlemen 'esidtng here, to visit Algesiras last Sunday (the 18th ult.), intending to spend the day there, and to return in the even- ing. The PATty consisted of four daughters and two sons of Mr J Francis, Miss Cruikshank, daughter of the Quarter-mas- ter of the 79th Highlanders; Mr and Miss Maxted, Messrs IV. and J. King, and Messrs Crusoe and Elms. They started about half. put seven in the morning, from the New Mole, in the ferry boat No. 33, accompanied by a boatman and two boys. The weather being rather rough, some of thtfla- dtes became alarmed, and at their request were landed, but unfortunately Miss Cruikshank, from a deisre to see Algesi- nn, conquered her fears and remained on board. The ap- proach to Algesiras in a westerly wind is very dangerous, and equires gieat skill and caution, «hich it appears the people in "harge of the boat did not possess. The boat consequently capsised, and the whole party were immersed in the water.- rhe catastrophe was observed by the masters of two vessels ying near, the British Queen and the Bremidon, both of whom -ent their boats to render assistance. J'hey picked up most of e party, but I regret to state that Mr Elms and one of the boys were drowned, and their bodies are not yet found. J hree ot the party were conveyed on board one of the above-men- noned vessels, and means were resorted to to recover them, which proved successful in two cases, but without effect in the 'hird who died. Miss Cruikshank and another of the party ire since dead, making in all five persons who have lost their lies by this unfortunate accident. But for the timely assist- ance rendered by Captains Evans and Orfeur, to both of whom great praise is due, the whole party would have perished, as J learn from one of the survivors that a few minutes' delay would ■lave consigned them all to a watery grave. "Mr Elms, who has thus been deprived of life, was a young gentleman just entering life with favourable prospects, was greatly esteemed by all who knew him. and his loss will be severely felt by a numerous circle of friends. He has left a lather and two sisters to lament his untimely end. It causes a gieat sensation here, and it will take some time to subside."

THE LATE ACCIDENT To iMn BRUNEI.—At a meeting of the members of the Koyal Medical and Chirurgical Association, held last week, a communication was read from Sir B. Brodie, Hart., containing some interesting particulars relative to the medical treatment adopted in the case of the recent accident to Mr. Brunei, the civil engineer, and of the extraction of the 'I half-sovereign from the trachea. Aftei entering into a detail ol of the experiments performed by Sir B. Brodie, Dr. Chambers, Dr. Lesh Thompson, and Mr. Aston Key, which were carried on at intervals from April 3, to May 13, when the coin was ejected, an interesting discussion ensued amongst the members, in which Sir B. Brodie, Dr. Webster, Mr. Aston Key, Mr. llawkins, and Mr. Quain, took part, and from which it trans- pired that the case of Mr. Brunei was the first upon record of a coin having been spit up, and that had it been allowed to remain in the trachea, disease of the lungs would have been engendered, and ultimately death would have ensued. It was owing to the nature of the coin that prevented its producing ir- litation; but had it been of copper, brass, or any other metal, the case most likely would have been fatal. A similar instance to that of Mr. Brunei was mentioned of a gold coin remaining four years in the trachea, at the expiration of which time the patient died of phthisis, and it was further stated that a case was recorded by Dupuytren in his Lecons Orales," in which a patient who had swallowed a half franc piece lived for ten years afterwards, but ultimately died of phthisis. A singular trial for debt was heard in the Cambridge Bo- rough Court of 1 leas a few days ago. A Mr. Richard Southey brought an action against a William Wildeispin to recover wenty shillings money lent. The defendant pleaded that the noney had not been advanced to him as a loan, but had been ;;vcn to him for the corrupt purpose of inducing him to vote for Mr. Kelly, the conservative candidate at the late election. iegal objection was taken to this piea, and the court, after 'aking some time to consider, gave judgment in favour of the iefendanf. Honesty is the best of policy. With that considerate anxiety for the welfare of the Spital fields weavers which the Duchess of Kent has ever evinced, ler royal highness has purchased a beautiful dress of white naize and silver-watered silk, with other elegaut and expensive specimens of their ingenuity and taste, to be worn it the en- -uing royal marriage fetes and the birthday drawing-room. RESPITE OF THE MALTESE CONVICT.—In the course of Monday afternoon a messenger arrived at the Old Bailey from the Home-office, bearing a respite for the convict Guiseppo Vzzopardi, now lying under sentence of death. The news was mmediately made known by Mr. Cope, the governor, and the esu)t will be transportation, probably for life. The Grand Duke Michael Paulowitsch, brother of the Rus. ;ian Emperor, and his consort, the Duchess Helena, daughter if Prince Paul of Wurtemberg, are expected in Eogiuid.

HOUSE OF LORDS. TUESDAY, JlTLY 4. The Royal Commission was given to the Sugar Duties Bill, and to various private bills. The house then went into committee on the Canada Corn Bill, moved by Lord Dalhou*ie. The measure was opposed by Lord Stanhope, Lord Radnor, Lord Beaumont, the Duke of Richmond, Lord Teyuham, and the Duke ot Buckingham; and supported by Lord Wharncliffe, Lord Monteagle, and Lord Ashburton, The arguments in the discussion, pro and con, diffeied little from those employed in the previous debates in the Commons. On a division the motion was carried by a majority of 57 to 25. The bill then went through committee, and the house ad- journed till Friday.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. TUESDAY, JULY 4. THE DUKE OP WELLINGTON. Mr Blewitt 1 rise most respectfully to make the enquiry of which I gave notice yesterday. It is necessary for me to state two or three facts for the elucidation of the subject, and to them I shall strictly confine myself. In September, 1841, soon after the right honourable barouet opposite received her Majesty's commands to form an administration, a list was published, as from authority, in the Times newspaper, in which the Duke of Wellington was placed at the head of the Cabinet; it being understood that his Grace had no particular duties to perform, but was to be a member of the Cabinet. I remember perfectly well that he went down to Claremont as one of the new minis- ters to pay his homage. Soon after the nealh of LOld Hill, the Duke of Wellington was appointed Commander-in Chief, re- taining at the same time his seat in the Cabinet. On all occa. sions in the House of Lords he has taken part in the debates, 3nd has acted as the official organ of the administration he vindicated his colleagues, and explained the acts of the govern. ment. On the 1st of October, 1841, a question arose as to the prorogation of the House of Lords, and the Duke of Welling- ton took upon himself a share of the responsibility in advising her Majesty to dismiss the parliament for a lime. A day or two afterwards his Grace spoke of his colleagues in the House of Commons, and on many subsequent occasions he employed similar language. It is to be observed, also, that he attends all the meetings of the Cabinet Council, and I may presume that he takes part in the deliberations of that body. On Saturday last he sat for four hours, and no doubt the question before it was one of importance. Such appears to be the ostensible po- sition of the Duke of Wellington, and I now wish the house to hear what he himself thinks of that position. A few days ago Mr Mulock addressed a leiter to the Duk- of Wellington, which his Grace acknowledged in the following terms London, June 15, 1843. b;eld Marshal the Duke of Wellington piesents his com- pliments to Mr Mulock. As it appeais that Mr Mulock has addressed the minister, the Juke concludes that he will give him an answer. He is one of the few men in these days who docs not meddle with questions over which he has no confront." About Ihe same time a Mr Espy, the secrelary of an associa- tion in Dublin, transmitted an addiess from the society and the Duke of Wellington acknowledged it in this way :— II June 15, 1943. A society or association in Ireland should address the Lord-Lieutenant, or the Chief Secretary of the government of Ireland, and not the Commander-in-Chief of the Army, who never interferes in any affair over which he has no contronl." This note reminds me of a letter which the duke addressed to a deputation from Paisley, in October, 1841, which came up with the express purpose of soliciting an interview with his Grace, respecting the unparalleled distress prevailing in that town. The deputation, on its arrival, solicited the interview, but the duke sentthemanevasiverepty. The deputation re- peated their request, when the duke sent them the following lelter;- London, 0clober 30, .841. Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington presents his com- pliments to the members of the deputation from Paisley. It is true that the duke returned to town the night before last, in order to atteodai Buckingham house, when her Majesty will be confined. The duke's time has been,—and will be,—much occupied while he will be in London, and he must again decline to re- ceive the deputation from Paisley. He pay* every attention it is ia hit power to give to the distresses at Paisley, as well as elsewhere. A meeting to discuss them is not necessary in order to draw his attention to those distresses, and his other occupations render it necessary that he should decline to receive the depu- tation. He begs the deputation to observe, that he is not in the Queen's political service, that he does not fill any political office, and exercises no power or authority. I he Members of the Deputation from Paisley." The deputation wrote a reply to the Duke of Wellington, from which the following in an extract "November 1,1841. Whatever may be the nature of the appointment your Grace may hold as a member of the Cabinet, we, as a deputa- tion, and the whole country, consider your Grace one of the most influential of her Majesty's advisers, and one of the principatheadsof the Government. We feel justified in en- tertaining this opinion from the public declaration lately made by your Grace from your place in the House of Peers, that you would take on yourself the responsibility of advising her Majesty to prorogue Parliament.' I helieve Ihat tha duke sent no answer to this remonstrance from the deputation, which left town without being able to ob- tain an interview. I think I have stated enough to show that I have been justified in putting this question on the paper, and J, therefore, beg respectfully" to call upon Sir Robert Peel to explain to the house and to the country what is the political position of his Grace the Duke of Wellington; whether his Grace is or is not in the political service of the Clown, subject to ministerial responsibility, and possessed of any, and what control over the administration of public affairs." Sir R. Peel I shall attempt to answer the question of the honourable gentleman as respectfully as he has put it. With respect to the political position—that is, the official position— of the Duke of Wellington, I have to state that he is com- mander-in-Chief of the British army. He is so far in the poli- tical service of the Crown that he is one of the privy council- lors, honoured with the immediate confidence of her Majesty, constituting what is popularly called the Cabinet. As a mem- ber of the Cabinet he is responsible for any advice he may offer. As to the controul possessed by the Duke of Welling- ton. I should say that he has great controul over the adminis- tration of public affaIrs-that is to say, that controul which is implied by a willing deference to any opinion the duke may offer, either upon civil or military affairs. (Cheers,) I am sorry that the hon. gentleman has been put to so much trouble in collecting the minute facts with which he has favoured the house, in order that it may be justly inferred that the Duke of We'*jnSton is a member of the Cabinet, because if he had asked me the question, I should havo had no hesitation in at once avowing the fact (Hear and laughter); and in stating, on my own part, and on the part of every member of the govern- ment, that we are most proud to have the Duke of Wel- lington for a colleague. (Cheers) As to the letters and com- munications the hon. gentleman has read, they amount to no more nor less than this, that the duke advises those who have business wilh particular departments to address themselves to those departments. I apprehend, that from general confidence in the integrity and judgment of the Duke of Wellington, his Grace is overburdened with correspondence on matters over which he has no immediate control; therefore, he refers the writers to the heads of departments who, after due inquiry, are able to give an opinion. I cannot answer for the accuracy of any of the letters published, but I am quite sure that the Duke of Wellington, as a minister of state, did not mean to say that he was exempt from responsibility, or that he did not exercise controul becoming his age, rank, and station all that he meant was, and I myself follow that course, that when persons address him on matieTS belonging to the Secretary at War, or any other department of government, he earnestly begs leave to reierthem to the heads of those departments who are able to inquire into the grievance and to redress it if it be found to exist. The Duke of Wellington refrains from meddling with matters with which he has no concern, and over which he has no controul, and, perhaps, the honourable gentleman himself might have profited by the example. (Cheers.) Mr. Blewitt wished to add a word or two in his own justifica- tion. He considered it a part of his dut y when he saw a public man like the Duke of Wellington declaring that he was not re- sponsible—[here the honourable member was interrupted by cries of "order," and he resumed his seat; immediately after which] Mr. T. Duncombe moved for certain returns, to the produc- tion of which no objection was made. Mr. Hutt brought forward his motion respecting the Stade duties;1 but ministers representing '.hat the production of the correspondence which had taken place would be prejudicial to the country, he withdrew it. STATE OF IRELAND. Mr. W. S. O'Brien then brought forward his motion for a commitleeto take into consideralion the presentcausesof discon- lent in Ireland, wilh a view to the retiress of grievances, and Iho establishment of a just and impartial government. Having enu- merated a variety of cases in which the people of Ireland had cause to complain, he besought the house to grant the commit- tee, as some proof at least that they sympathised with Iieland, and weieanxious to do something for her welfare. Mr. Wyse seconded the motion. Lord Eliot was of opinion that no committee could deal with subjects so many and so various as those in the mover's speech, and that no committee, fairly representing the house, would be likely to agree upon any result. (laving defended atconsfde- rable length, the policy of the administration, he said, that considering this motion as a censure upon government, he trusted rhe house wouidreject it by a large majority. Mr. C. Wood dectared his disappointment at the speech of Lord Eliot, who had admitted most of the grievances alleged by Mr. O'Brien, but wi'hout suggesting on the part of Govern- ment any remedy for any of them. The debate was theo adjourned, and the other orders of the day having been disposed of, the house rose.

EXTRAORDINARY FISH.—A man named Hawtry, who was trolling a short time since in the Thames, at Clewer, near Windsor, hooked one of the largest pikes ever caught in the river; and, after skilfully playing" with the fish for upwards of an hour and a half, he at length landed it safely on the bank, but not without considerable difficulty, being alone and unpro- vided with so necessary an aid as a landing net. This enor- mous fish, which has just beeu stuffed as a great curiosity, weighed upwards of 30,b.. and is three feet seven inches and a half in length Mr. Mills, the banker, of Lombard.titreet, who was spinning" in the Thames from a punt on Saturday last, caught, in the course of the afternoon, between Windsor and Datchet bridges, three splendid trout in beautiful condition, which weighed upwards of 251b. A barbel wa3 also hooked, and landed near Datchet, two feet ten inches long, and weigh- ing 241b. IMITATIVE CIGARS. QQ Monday a young man named Ben- jamin Law, wi-schargfd at Union Hall with attempting tosett "real Havannahs, which he describes as being of the finest quality. On examination it turned out, however, that these foreign luxuries were simply composed of rhubarb leaves, the outside being covered with brown paper steeped in a liquid composed of peppei and saltpetre. '1 heie was not a particle of tobacco In their construction, lie was in consequence dls- charged. The Rev. Erskine Head, Rector of Feniton, Devon, who has been suspended for three years fiom the Ministry, the loss ol his living with £500 a year, and the costs of the action, all ot wlllch he says ruins him, preached a valedictory seimon, which producedthe deepest emorioo on the part of his flock. His a'teged offence was the publication of a letter in an Exeter pa. per, in which he maintained that the Church Catechism, the Order of Baptism, and the Order of Confirmation in the Book of Common Prayer, contained erroneous doctrines

VISIT OF PRINCE ALBERT TO BRISTOL. As the time approaches for the visit of his Royal Highness, Ihe anxiety to prncure Infonnation of his intended movements increases. We believe the following may be relied on as ac- curate. His Royal Highness will leave London by a special train at 7 o'clock, and will travel with more than ordinary speed. He is expected to reach Bath soon after 9, and has expressed his willingness to receive an address from the Town Council of that city, at the station. His Royal Highness, without fur- ther delay than is necessary for the above object, will proceed to Bristol, and may be expected to reach the terminus about 10. A* his Royal Highness's stay in this city will be so very limited, it has been arranged that he will receive the addresses voted by the Town Council and other public bodies, at the station. The authorities of this city, with a view to gratify the inhabitants at large, have been laudably anxious that his Royal Highness should pass through the principal streets of the city, and we believe we may say that on their representation this course has been resolved on. It was to be desired that his Royal Highness would have been enabled to alight at the Council House, and receive the address of the Corporation in the magnificent room, worthy of the oty but, as we have stated, from the shortness of time, and the extent of business to be transacted, this has been found impracticable. We trust that the trades and other bodies who may have en- tertained the idea of forming processions, &c., will forego the intention, as stoppages in any part of the line would, by com- pelling an accelerated pace over other portions, deprive the public at large from sharing in the gratification of beholding the consort of their Sovereign. We repeat, therefore, our hope that there will be no impeding the thoroughfare by banners or processions, and thus his Royal Highness will be enabled to proceed at a moderate pace through the city, and receive, no doubt, the cordial greetings of the countless thousands on his line of progress. His Royal Highness is expected to reach the vessel soon after 1 o'clock, when the ceremony of launching, or rather floating, this magnificent steamer will take place. After par. taking of a splendid banquet provided for the occasion, his Royal Highness will return to the terminus, which he will leave at four o'clock, and is expected to reach Buckingham Palace to dinner. We could have wished that his Royal Highness could have made a more protracted stay but should the weather prove auspicious, we have little doubt that the passing glimpse at the fine scenery and picturesque beauties of Clifton may induce him to repeat another and a longer visit at a future period.— Bristol Gazette.

OPENING OF ST. MARY'S CATHOLIC CHURCH ON THE QUA Y, BRISTOL. The beautiful and chaste building on the Quay. formerly known as the Irvingite Chapel, having been lately purchased by the Catholics of this city and neighbouihood, and denomi- nated by them St. Mary's Church," was this day (Wednes- day) opened for the celebration of Divine Worship with great solemnity. The ceremony was commenced by the various priests and officers, arrayed in their several gorgeous vestments, perambu- laiing the Church in the following order:- Sub-Deacon, the Rev. H, Astrop, bearing the silver cross. Four boys bearing lighted tapers. Six Pages. The Thurifers, with incense. Pages of the Bishop. Master of the Ceremonies, the Rev. J. Bononi. Forty Priests, in Iheir robes, two and lwo. Page bearing the crosier. The Rev. H. Woollett, Deacon. The Rev. P. O'Farrell, officiating High Priest. During the procession the Right Reverend Dr. Baines, Bi- shop of Siga, and Vicar Apostolic of the Western District of England, attended by his chaplains, the Rev. — Sheehy and the Rev. J. Illingworth, and his assistant priest the Rev. The. mas Shattock, entered the Sanctuary by a side door, and took his seatuponthe throne erected on Ihe left side. High Mass, coram episcopi, was then commenced, the Rev. P. O'Farrell officiating as high priest, and assisted by his dea- cons. Haydn's sublime No. 2 Mass, and attheclose Te Deum, were beautifully performed by a most efficient choir, compris- ing, as trebles, Mrs. Millar, of Pierre iPoint Chapel, Bath, and Miss Lucy Murphy, of Bristol; contraltos, Miss Sullivan, of London, Miss Bevan, of Bristol, Miss England, of Bristol, and Mr. Glock; tenors, Mr. Millar and Mr. Curtis; bass, Mr. Curtis, of London, and Mr. England, of Horfield-road, Bris- tol. Mons. Guiscard presided at the organ, which is a new in- strument built by Bishop, and of great sweetness and power of tone. The whole was under the superintendence of Mr. Curtis. The sermon was preached by the Right Rev. Dr. Baines, who took for his text, the 18th and following verses of the 28th chapter of St. Matthew—" All power is given unto me in Hea. ven and Earth go ye, therefore, and teach all nations; teach- ing them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. Behold, [am with you all days, even to the consumma. tion of the world."—The address of his lordship, which was very able was directed to establish the claim of the Catholic Church to bf: the one, true, united, indivisible, pure, and Apos. tolic Church, and her Bishops and Priests to be the true suc- cessors of those Apostle to whom our Blessed Redeemer gave Ihe commission iD the text. We have not space nor time, even were the columns of a newspaper an appropriate channel, to insert a report of his Lordship's address. The chapel was crowded to suffocation, by a very respectable, devout, and attentive audience. At the conclusion of mass the procession was re-formed and paraded through the chapel, the priests offering up prayers for the salva- tion of the Church.—Bristol Gazette. — — I

THE MESMERIC DELUSION. At a meeting last week of the Bath and Bristol branch of the Medical and Surgical Association, held at Bristol, it was resolved, that the society should hold quarterly evening meetings, and that one should take place in Bath in September nexl. Mr. Eslin read an address on Mesmerism, decrying the scenes lately enacted within the walls of the Institution. Mr. Brookes, lecturer on Mesmerism, who attended the meeting as a visitor, having obtained permission of the Presi- dent to speak, observed, that the report of his lectures in the newspapers was not an accurate one, and that the reason why the sleep-waker spoke of her charitable feelings when the organ of colour had been mesmerised, was, because he had previously been exciting the organ of benevolence. The cases related by Dr. Haygarth, of cures by fictitious tractors, did not depend on t|,e imagination, but upon the mesmeric influence com- municated by the hands of the operators. This explanation was received with bursts of laughter. 1\Ir. Brookes was proceeding with his remarks, when it be- came quite obvious that the meeting had not patience to hear Some urged the lateness of the hour as requiring a ter- mination of the discussion one gentleman observed that Mr. 13.'s observations were more suited to a lunatic asylum than to such a meeting as theirs and after some ineffectual attempts at being heard, Mr. B. discontinued his remaiks. About 50 gentlemen, all belonging to the medical profession, met afterwards at the Great Western Hotel, where they dined,

DOMESTIC NEWS. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET,—July 4 1843.—Tne market has been dull since we last wrote, and prices have slightly declined the sales of the week are only 250 hhds. and tirces, and to-day there is very little inclination to do bus- iness except at lower prices. The Rum marketh stIli improving. SWANSEA NEW BRIDGE.—Mr. Thomas Renoden, of that town, has again succeeded in obtaining the contract for another public undertaking—the construction of the dam across the river Tawe; his tender having been accepted by the harbour trustees. Mr. Renoden's tender was the lowest, amounting to about £10.000.. On Tuesday evening after the annual general meet- ing of the Swansea Canal Company had been held, the shareholders, comprising most of the principal gentry and merchants of the neighbourhood of Swansea, sat down to a most excellent entertainment at the Bush inn, in that town. The chair was taken by Howel Gwyn, of Baglan, Esq., and the vice-chair by Thomas Grove, Esq., 01 Danycoed. An accident of a most painful nature occurred on the river, at Swansea, last Saturday evening, by which a poor man named Rees Jones, aged 36, a resident of Ebenezer- street, lost his life. The unfortunate man belonged to one of the barges plying on the river, which had started with- out him, and got a considerable distance, when the de- ceased jumped on board another barge proceeding in the same direction, and on approaching his own barge he en- deavoured to leap into it, but either owing to the swell or miscalculating the distance, he fell between the barges, which at that instant came into violent collision, and jammed him between them twice. He was instantly rescued from his perilous situation, and medical assistance promptly obtained on board, but from the internal injuties received in the region of the chest, he expired, after suf- fering for fifteen or twenty minutes. An inquest was held upon the body, at one o'clock on Monday, at the Dolphin inn, when a jury, after hearing the statements adduced, returned a verdict of" Accidental Death." The deceased has, we are informed, left a widow and one child, totally unprovided for to lament his departure. BRISTOL, JUNE 30.—The Vulcan, government steamer, arrived at this port this morning, express from Waterford, having left at a moment's notice. She brought Lieutenant Crispin, bearer of important despatches for the govern- ment. Lieut Crispin posted to the station, and left by the eleven o'clock train. The Vulcan is now taking in coals, and is under orders to be ready and return at a moment's notice.—Post. TRADE OF BRISTOL.—The export of coal from Bristol has fallen from 4614 tons, in the year 1841, to 1481, tons in 1842, or nearly one haUl How thankful ought we to be for a "Conservative government. It was to put every thing right. So far we have only got less trade and more taxes. Most persons would prefer fewer taxes and more trade. CHURCH BOOK SOCIETY.—At a meeting of this society, which was held on Tuesday last, we understand that a stormy, and not a very creditable scene, took place. The Rev. Dr. Irvine, it appears, is one of the Committee, and on taking his seat, the Rev. II. Richards, of Horfield, moved, and the Rev. Mr Carter, of Frenchay,seconded a resolution, that Dr. Irvine, be requestedjto leave the room. The Dr. very naturally inquired the reason, and was in- formed by Mr. Richards that being suspended by the Bishop, no clergyman could associate with him and that it was very bad taste for him to come there. The Doctor re- plied that by the rules he had a perfect right to be there, he was, although suspended, still a clergyman,and as to matter of taste, it was in much worse taste tor the Tractarians to come there and disturb the harmony of thesociely. After a stormy discussion the resolution was put from the chair and lost; amotion was then made to adjourn the further proceedings untill Monday; this was also lost, on which Dr. Goodenough, rose and left the chair, and was followed by all the Traclarian party. The Rev. J. B. Clifford, was then called to the chair, and the business of the meeting was proceeded with. The Rev. Gentleman, amidst the cheers of the meeting assured the Rev. Dr.Irvine that the members of the society would be always most happy to see him amongst them, promoting the usefulness of the society, as he had hitherto done.—Bristol Gazette. HEREFORDSHIRE BOWMEN.—We understand that the first meeting of this Society for the present season will take place at Mr. Peploe's, Garnstone.on the 27th of July the second at Mr. Freeman's of Gaines, on the 17th of August; and the third at Col. Drummond's, The Boyce,on the 30th of August. A match of cricket wa* played on Monday in the Mili- tary Ground, Windsor, between the 2nd regiment of Life Guards, and the 1st battalion of Coldstream Guards, now stationed at Windsor, which terminated in favour of the latter, with eight wickets to go down. In the second in- nings the Coldstream Guards obtained 17, with eight wickets to go down; of which Serg. Bristow marked 8, Corp. Bentley 7 (not out); byes, &c. 8 A meeting has been held at Divizes for the purpose of establishing an agricultural college for a district comprising Wilts and the adjoining counties of Gloucester, Oxford, nd Berks. In the Court of Exchequer, William Dean, a partner in the house of Candy and Co., was convicted in a penalty, amounting to £ 6,000., for defrauding the Custom House of the duties payable on a quantity of foreign silk. This was one of the cases connected with the recent Custom- house frauds. It is an extiaordinaiy fact that whilst we have been de- luged wi'h rain, scarcely any has fallen in some of the Northern countries. A letter from Stockholm of the 22nd ult. states, that from the first of January up to that period not two inches of water had fallen, and m May not a cloud was to be seen- EXCELLENT APPROPRIATION.—A meeting of the sub- scribers to the monument to the late Right Hon. George Canning was held last week, when it was decided that the balance of the funds collected, amounting to £ 872.,should be divided equally amongst the Collegiate, Mechanics', and the Royal institutions.— Liverpool Mercury. A marriage will shortly take place between George Chetwynd, Esq., eldest son of Sir G Clietwynd, of Gren- don Hall, Warwick, and Lady Charlotte Ilill, daughter of the Marquess of Downshire. THAMES TUNNEL.—Neatly one million (928,000 up to Saturday last) have passed through the tunnel since its opening on the 25th of March. PRINCE ALBERT.—We are sorry to hear that his Royal Highness has got a slight attack of the prevailing influenza. THE QUEEN DOWAGER.—Queen Adelaide has recovered most satisfactorily from her late attack of influenza. Mr. O'Connor has served a writ in a civil action for Ii. bels published against him in the Times newspaper, in connexion with the last two Nottingham elections. LITERARY ANTIQUITIES.—We understand that Sir T. Phillipps (who a few yeais since discoAered among the re- cords of the Cathedral the allegation bond upon which the marriage license of Shakspeare was granted) has just made the discovery also of a hagmentof a curious roli of the houshold expenses of Godfrey Gifford, Bishop of Wor- cester, when his brother Walter, Archbishop of Yotk, it is presumed, came to visit hini at Ilartlebuiy, in the reign of Edward the 1st. Like the iElfric Saxon Grammar (which Sir T. Phillipps found among the same records, and which with the kind permission of the Dean and Chapter he has partly printed,) it formed the cover of a book bound about 300 or 400 years since.— Worcester Guardiun. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.— On Monday last a most awful instance of sudden death occurred in Hyde Park at a quarter before nine o'clock. Colonel Ellison, of theIst Foot Guards, whilst going through the customary inspec- tion 01 the men of his regiment, suddenly exclaimed,"Oh God 1" and his sword dropped from his hand; he, at the same moment, fell from the saddle of his horse upon which he was riding, and in an instant expited. WILL OF ROBERT SOUTHEY, THE POET LAUREATE.— The will of Robert Southey, late of Keswick, in the county of Cumberland, has just issued under seal of the Arch- bishop of Canterbury. The executors named are Henry H. Southey (the brother) and Henry Taylor. After desiring that he may be decently buried, he directs that £2,.000 be invested in the funds, and the interest paid to his wife, Caroline Southey. The remainder of his property to be equally divided between his four children —Charles Cuth- bert Southey, F.dith Mary Warter, Bertha lIlli, and Catharine Southey. The property is sworn under £12,.000. Britannia. EARL GREY—We are glad to hear that the health of Earl Grey is improving. The attack under which the ven. erable nobleman has been suffering is one of paralysis. SUICIDE.—Asuicide of a melancholy and singular cha- racter occurred in the neighbourhood of Westbury-on- Trym last week. It appears that Mr. Hopton having sur- rendered Clank mill, situate between Blaize Castle and that village, his foreman, a steady, carefdl, industrious per- son applied to become tenant to the same, and his propo- sal was accepted by the landlord, George Hilhouse, Esq. Strange to say, however, after having received an answer in the affirmative to his application, the man seemed sud- denly apprehensive that he should not succeed—that he would be unable to make it pay, and all that, until at length it so preyed upon his mind that he attempted to commit suicide by throwing himself in the mill pond his son how- ever, being in the neighbourhood, and seeing the act, jumped in after him and succeeded in dragging him out, Afte" this his medical attendant perceiving the state 01 his mind, said it was necessary that some one should care- fully watch over him from destroying himself, and the more securely to do this the son slept in the same bed with him. On Tuesday night, the latter finding himself disposed to lall asleep placed his arm round his father's neck, so that he should not get up without his knowledge; on waking in the morning, however, he found to his horror his un- happy parent hanging from a beam in the room quite dead. having somehow contrived to get up unknown to his son, The unfortunate man bore always an excellent character.— Bristol Mirror. At a recent meeting of Repealers, the Liberator, in enumerating the grievances under which Ireland laboured, said, "Cork county has a population of 750,000, and the population of Wales 50,000 more, yet Wales has 29 reo presentatives, while Cork has but two Every Welshman is worth fourteen and a half of you." A voice By Jove they ar'nt. (Laughter and cheers.) Mr. O'Connell. I do not think one of them could beat fourteen and a half of you." A voice Oh, the D— a bit, or a half a one of us," (Much cheering.) I. THE CHOPS.—(From the Mark Lane Erprm. —A b t the weather has not been of a forcing charactei s) e our Jas the temperature having been rather low for the time of year' and the nights even cold, the reports from most parts of t, country describe the appearance of the wheat plant as favoU1' able. I he improvement which has taken place since tbe ceased, is stated to be very great. In the southern the ear is now well out, and with a continuance ot propiti°°* weather, harvest will probably be commenced in the more for- ward districts early in August. In the north it must, of be later; but there is no reason to suppose that it will be ra^°i behind tbe usual period in good seasons, should July J warm month. An immense quantity of hay has been sec.ure,tf within the past fortnight; this labour has scarcely met a sing interruption, and so actively has it been proceeded with, tbjj all other descriptions of work have for a time been neglect*?' hence tbe shortness of the supplies of grain brought forward' the agricultural districts. The hay crop is, almost withoUj exception, good, in many localities heavier than for se*^r,< pears past, and that portion which has hitherto been carted na^ been secured in excellent order. Oats, Beans, and Peas coB' tinue to be well spoken of, but Barley has not recovered so we from the injurious effects of the cold wet weather experience" in May and the beginning of June. The most serious conse, quences likely to result from that inauspicious period is, -it evei, the paitial foilure of the Potatoe crop; on cold the sets have come up very irregularly, and there can.j doubt that the total produce of this valuable esculent will V considerably shoit of an average. SIR R. PEEL AND HIS TENANTS.—On Saturday last Right Honourable Baronet's half-yearly audit was I amworth, when ten per cent, was returned to the whole oftn tenantry. This substantial mark of consideration on the par of their liberal landlord, gave uniform satisfaction.. I I he first ship of war ever built by the Prussian t the nucleus of that national marine, which the writers of Crerman Customs League look forward to as so powerful an a! to the development of their commerce, was launched at stetlb: on the 24th of June, amid the enthusiastic acclamations assembled multitude. The vessel is a sloop of war, and IS If bear the name of the Amazon. She is to carry 14 guns, them 32 pounders, and the rest 18-pounders, with a comP'^ ment of 100 men. The command is to be given to Baron »° Dirkink-Holmftldt, a native of Prussia, but for many years a officer in the Danish navy. A Ba RRisTER IS TROUBLE.—At the Glouaestershire Sessio? Mr. Augustus Newton was arrested for debt, but pleaded vilege from all such proceedings during the sesssions, and 1 chairman, Mr. Sergeant Ludlow, allowed the plea, Mr. ton giving a pledge that he would not commence legal Pr, ceedings for false imprisonment.—Mr. Greaves argued strp0?/ that no such privilege as that claimed by Mr. Newton —Mr. Newton has since inserted the usual notice in a CP tenham paper, stating that it is his intention to make »pP„0 tion to the Court of Bankruptcy, Leeds, for an exaroioat touching his pecuniary affairs. i. JULY FAIR.—A large quantity of wool was brought to-t city on Saturday, but a great portion of it having been d'5?0^. of through the medium of private agreement, (he supply bited in the market was comparatively small. The bulk s° at from lOd. to lid. per lb. and fine Downs at Is. It nearly all disposed of at those terms. In the cattle fair jj* was some demand for prime fat animals, but business gener* „ was very dull. Prices from 5d. to 5 £ d. per lb* There waii^, immense number of sheep, which also went at about 5d. to1? Veiy few dealings took place in the horse fair, where the est price obtained for any one animal was only, accordin £ ,|, the toll book, about twenty-four pounds. An accident was at first supposed to be of a fatal nature, occurred High-town, where William Dillon, a young man from lington, sustained a kick from a horse. He was taken 10 Infirmary where it was found that he had sustained a co pound fracture of the upper jaw, and a slight wound °fte is back of the head from falling against the pavement- going on well. A married woman named Elizabeth Hulli.v at St. Owen's gate, was also knocked down by a horse i° High-town, and so much bruised and injured that it is '•Lj she will not be able to leave her bed for a month.—HereJ Journal. ø ANOTHER DEATH FROM A BULL.—Last week N.

It appeared that the bull n» flicted a wound on the neck of deceased, by goring, casioned his death. Mr. Turner's evidence was by other witnesses, and the jury returned a verdict of' dental death."—Hereford Journal. mef' INCOME-TAX.—New Enactments.—In an act of Pa trovi* passed a few days back respecting assessed taxes, two sions appear to simplify some difficulties in the Act. It is delared that the commissioners of stamps and are to direct where parties shall be assessed to the lnconie in cases where they are liable to be assessed in more place.
