      Monda y ^ July 19 , lord WHAB 5 CLIF ? 2 , in reply to Earl Radnor , said that the Government did not intend to bring forward any specific measure for the relief of the existing distress , which they believed to be ameliorating by that revival of trade and commerce which was following the pissing of the recent measures . The Lord Chasceixok moved the second reading of three bills , which be thought might all be discussed together—tbe Bankruptcy Bill , the lunacy Bill , and the County CoBrt 3 Bill . By the Bankruptcy Bill , it

      was proposed to extend the jurisdiction of the London Commissioners-from 40 to 100 miles round the Metropolis ; by the Lnnacy Bill , to establish CbmmiBsionera for ths trial of cases , and to dhulnisa the extravagant expenses at present sfctenfiemt on those proceedings , and by the County Conrts Bin to provide , instead of rasi rent jadges , who might be warped by their Iocs ! feelings or prejudices , jndges who would go their ctrcnite like | ndg « B of t&e land . The noble and learned lord made a long statement , and entered at length on the subjects of the three bills .

      Lord Cottbkham expressed regret that the Bills did Dot go far ensngh . He reviewed their provisions , pointing oat where he thought they woald prove irsafficient , pmfeasing himself favourable to the entire abolition of imprisonment for debt , and contended that if in the Bankruptcy Bill the principles for which he argued wen not embodied , it would be difficult to do so at a future period . Irjrd Brocchah concurred generally with Lord Cottenhsm , though be admitted that the Bills were improvements bo far as they went .

      Lord WvjcFOKD considered that the country was deeply indebted to the Lord Chancellor for these bills . Lord Campbell contrasted the positions of the insolvent and the baskmpt—the one with liabilities hanging over Mm long afterwards , and undergoing imprisonment , the ottjar coming forfh & free man after going through the court , and not necessarily liable to imprisonment He was afraid that these Bills would stand in the way of farther improvment After a reply from the Lobd Chas czlxob , the Bills Were read a second time , and the House shortly afterwards adjourned .

      HOUSE OP COMMONS , Friday , July 15 . Mr . Gladsto 5 B introduced a BM to remedy a typographical error in the new Customs Duties Act ; 1842 feeing printed for 1843 in the timber duties schedule . The bill wai be made incidentally to serve the purpose of removing the duty which the new tariff imposed on cement-stone ; and which , although it passed unnoticed at the time , is found to be really injurious . The House ifcsamed the Committee of Supply , and passed another long string of votes ; the discussion of Vhich possessed little interest . On going into Committee , thfi Chancellor of the Exchequer stated , in answer to Ml . Charles Wood , that the doubt aa to the law whether light sovereigns may be cut was under consideration .

      Toe vote of £ 30 , 000 for education occasioned an explanation from Sir James Graham , that this grant will not at present be iocreassd ; but if Government deteimine to propose a granl to the Exeter Hall classes , It will be applied for in a separate form . Sir Eobeit Inglis , hoping that Government would not Buffar themselves to be represented by Lord WhaTncliffe , the Liberalism of whose speech in the House of lords on Thursday he attacked , drew upon himself a sharp rebuke £ r » m Bii James Graham ; who taxed him with pursuing a course calculated to sow dissension among the members of the Administration , "while he Waa 'ibjeetiag to views agreed to in a compromise betw-en thelata and the present Administrations and sanctioned by the JSishops . Sir Robert Inglis admitted the josdice of the rebuke . -

      On the vete of £ 50 . 000 for education in Ireland , lard siiot warmly defended the system of education is that country ; and anaiher little dispute arose in an attack by Sergeant Jackson , the Solicitor- General for Ireland , on the Irish Sficrctsry . The House divided on the vote , and it was carried by 94 to 0 . '

      Saturday , July 16 . Mr . RrcAKiX ) asked if the Government had received any intimation of the reported disturbances in the Potteries , Sir J- GaAHAXasid some aeconnts of disturbances in the Potteries had been received by the Government ; and , consequently , a small miitary force had been sent to NewcssUe-nnder-Lyne . Sir J . Geaeam said it had "been Mb fixed determination to proceed with the Mills' and Factories' Bill , but , at the advanced stage of the S&ssion and the present state tf public business , he did not ftHnfr he shooM be justified in proceeding "With , tha measure during the present year . He Should , therefore , postpone the Bill until next Session . Mr . Hawes inquired 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 .

Ghaham— " T « s , I do intend to persevere in passing this SilL It is my intention to go on with this measure . ' The Licensed LucaSc Asylums Bill passed through Committee . The Fisheries ( Ireland ) Bill passed through Coicraittee , and the report was ordered to be received < jb Iue& , isy . Adjournei Monday , July 18 . Mr Roebuck sbtsined leave to plead at the bar of JhB House of Commons , la sapporfc cf ths Sudbury DiBiranchisement Bill ; and he also announced that the report of the Election Compromises Committee would be ready for ihe end of the week . In reply to Mr . Ha"wxs ,

      Sir Robeet Peel said that he would take the subject of Church extension into his serious consideration duriDg £ he recess , and would state Ms intentions in the next session . SJr SH . I 5 glis then postponedhis Church extension motion till next session . , - L « rd Eliot intimated that the report of the Irish Census Commissioners would be ready in a fortnight On the motion for goinj into a Committee of Supply , 3 tlr . Shiel called attention to the policy pursued in Ireland . The present Government , through Sir Robert Peel and Lord Eliot , had announced their determination to disregard all party considerations in the adudmslr&ticn of the government of Ireland . But

      this was contradicted by the conduct of the Irish Government ; by tfae nature of Its SppoinVmentB ; by the actions of its partisans , moT = especially as evinced during the last Dublin election ; and lastly , though not leastly , by the conduct of the legal agents of the Irish Government in packing juries , challenging most respectable Catholics , in order to secure Protestant jurors and favourable verdicts . This latter allegation he illustrated by several instances , more especially in the case of the trial of the proproprietor of the Belfast Vindicator . He concluded bis speteh by referring to the case of the restoration of Mr . St . George to the magistracy , and moved for toe correspondence relating to it .

      Lord Eliot rejoiced in the opportunity thus afforded him of vindicating the Irish Government . He contended that the declarations which be had mad » had been acted up to in spirit > s in letter . He reviewed the ¦ various appointments of the Irish Government , and Jostified its interference in the Dublin election ; defended the coaduct of the Irish Crown Solicitor , with reZezence to toe trials adverted to by Mr . Shiel ; and , after explaining the circumstances attending the restoration of Mr . Sb Georga to the magistracy , declared that it would be isexpedient to produce the required

      corxetpondenea . Sir William Sommeetillb thought that th » grave charges adduced by Mr . Shiel were calculated to tarow discredit on the impartial ' administration of justice , sndwith reference tooths challenging of jurors , giving doe credit to the explanations of Lord Eliot , considered that it was at least unfortunate that there should have fceen such a preponderance of Protestants on these trials It was a monstrous state of things that articles freely published in the Morning Chronicle dare not be reprinted in ths Dublin papers for feai of a pro-¦ e cntion . , -- ¦ ••

      - Mr . Sergeant Jacksom adduced eases ia which Mr . O'Connell and Mr . Shiel himself had peremptorily challenged Protestant jurors ; at the same time denying , in tfaB most positive manner , that in the recent trial Juro rs had been . B 8 t aside , because they were Roman Ca&olics . ~ He defended , amongst others , the appoint * men * of Mr . Baron Lefroy , whom he affirmed to be one of the most eminent equity lawyers in Ireland , and vfto , before his . elevation by the present Administration , had refused three offers el judgeship * from different

      Untitled Article

      Governmeuts ; and affirmed that the article in the Bel / ail Vindicator was calculated to disturb the peace of the eo&ntry , and was , therefore , a fit subject of prosecutaon . After a few words of explanation from Sir William Sommerville , and from Mr . Shiel , in explanation of the ease quoted against him by Mr . Sergeant Jackson , Mi . Morgak John O ' Coknell entered generally into the subject of the discussion , contending , more especially , that the present Irish Government , by their libal prosecutions , were attempting to stifle the liberty of the press . Lord Joceltn justified his interference in the Dublin election , denying that in his canvass any threats toad been held out to sucll of the electors as were under Castle coatronl . The late Government had , however , used their influence to compel the Dublin electors to vote against their feelings and conscience .

      Mr . C . Bulleb , after commenting on Lord Jocelyn ' s admissions , contended that the proceedings which had taken place in Ireland were calculated to inspire alarm with respect to the impartial administration of justice in that country . It was difficult to believe that chance was the cause of the exclusion of Catholic jurors , and the terms used by the Chief Justice Pennefatber , in his charge to the jury « n the trial for libel of the Belfast Vindicator , were far more fit lor a violent partisan than a judicial expositor . The Irish Government had done itsefc no good by a prosecution which , if directed against the press of this conntry , would put an extinguisher on that entire and unrestrained freedom of discussion which it had enjoyed for the last ten years . - ¦

      . „ . Sir James ( Jkabam recounted the Irish jadlekl appointment of the lata Government , which were the result of political considerations as much as those of the present Government In ttie unhappy state of society in Ireland peculiar difficulties attended the administration of justice , and the 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 Sagden , on investigation , was perfectly , satisfied . The Government had ne disposition to resent newspaper attacks by prosecutions ; bat the one In question in this debate was calculated to disturb the peace of the country by impugning trial by Jury in Ireland .

      Lord PALMEBSTON , giving credit to the Lord Lieutenant for % ood intentions , was not surprised at the failure of the Iruh Executive in obtaining the confidence of the people . Their appointments were unfortunate and the right of challenging jurors ought undoubtedly to be exercised so aa 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 . Grjegokt denied that he had pledged himself on the subject of the national system of edacation , though he was opposed to any system which did not take the Scriptures for its basis . No undue influence had been « x * reis © d at Ms 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 . Gforge * s letter to Lord Normanby had justified his removal from the magistracy , but he was restored on explanations which were considered satisfactory . Earl de Grey had reluctantly been persuaded to - undertake the government of Ireland ; bat having doae ao % he -was too honest and firm to permit subordinates to dictate to his . Lord Eiiot . as Chief Secretary , and Sir Eiward Sugden , as Lord Chancellor , were also proofs and guarantees of his intentions in the government of Ireland . Thcngh he acted on Iub

      svowed principles of preferring his political f nends he looked to professional eminence rather than parliamentary influence , as evinced by the characters of Mr . Justice Pennefather and Mr . Baron Lefroy .. He was somewhat surprised at Lord Pa merston ' s assurance in objecting to the elevation of the latter-mentioned judge—he who as a member of the lute Government had been a party to offering the Chief Baronship to the strenuous advocate of the repeal of the Union , Mr . OConcell ! The character of Mr . Sergeant Jackson also justified his having availed himself of his services . He concluded by contending that he had fully acted up to the spirit of his declarations with respect to Ireland .

      Colonel Tekneb addressed some observations to a Loisy and impatient House ; after which a division took place , when there appeared 146 to 75 . It-beiB « upwards of half-past twelve , Mr . Hume and Mr , Bbothebton objected to going into a Committee of Supply ; but alter considerable altercation , the House went into Committee , and a vote was taken for the iiilitia Estimates . The Bouse 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 hi 3 impertinent conduct This cxprsssion Le retracted , when called on by the Speaker . The other orders of the day were then disposed of , and the Houm adjourned .

      DISTRESS IN THE METROPOLIS . To the eye cf the superficial observer , there is Httle , if indeed any distress to be fonnd in this mighty metropolis . ' Tna suburban fairs ara well attended , the liver Thames crowded with steam boats , and the various places of public amusement , thronged with apparently happy faces and light hearts ! There &re Out few beggars in the streets ; and no particular object of distress meets the eye—or if it does , it is passed by , as unworthy of notice , and undeservisg in itself . In short , society in London presents a complete collection of contradictions^—ss monstrous as the portress of he : 2 in Miiton—half divinity , half snake—majestic and beautiful above , grovellina ana poisbnous below . Whoever desires to obtain even a bare existence in the metropolis must sacrifice the physical wants to the artificial—from the office clerk to the messenger , and from the artisan to the veriest shop boy .

      It is from these false appearances that a mistaken idea cf abundance and comfort arises ; the face wears the smile of plenty , but the canker of poverty is gating into the heart . It is the hectic flash of consumption , Bptaking only of the -worn and decaying system . There are in London and Southwark five courts for the recovery of small debts—the City Conrt of Bequests —the Osboms-Btreet Court for the Tower Hamlets—the Castle-street Court for the City and Liberty of Westminster—the Southwark Court of Bt quests , and the Middlesex County Court in Kingsgate-street , Holborn J It is to these places that the eye of the benevolent should be turned—it is here that the manifold wants

      snd miseries of tens of thousands become but too painfully palpable—here the under current of human life flows openly and freely—here may be observed daily the struggling of honest poverty 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 xecurrense of them , might melt the heart of any ; so artless , indeed , and yet withal so heartrending , are many of the eases in their detail , that many plaintiffs , on getting acquainted with the particulars , have generously forgone theii claims , and regretted-that taeir enforcement bad ever been attempted .

      The following is an illustrative case in point It affords also an instructive lesson of the manner in which the faces of the pacr are ground to the euth by both Christian and Jew slopsellers : — Westjii > steb Cofbt of Requests , —A tall , carewom-looktog widovr woman , ( it would not be out of place to say widow lady , ) of abont forty years of age , and whoso carriage and manners evident y showed bow keenly a sensitive mind was struggling up againBt misfortune , was summoned for £ 1 18 s . by a Scotch baker , named Charles Watts . On the name bsing bellowed forth by the crier , the poor lady seemed to shrink within herself as she stepped before the gaza of the commissioners and a very crowded court .

      The usual interrogatories having been pat to the plaintiff and sworn to , the defendant was asked why she had refused to pay a debt which she did not dispute ?—Because , Sir , said the defend&ut , choking witk grief , I ^ m utterly unable . Commissioner ,: —Then why did you contract it ITo keep my . poor daughter from a premature death by ttarvation [ bursting into tears } - Sir , 1 have three helpless daughters , and hoped , by untiring industry at the needle , together with ' such little Aid as they could give , to find ourselves a scanty portion of bread and tea , and a home , howe ? ei humble , to rest in ; hut from morning until midnight , the uttermost we . can earn barely exceeds a shilling per day l 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 shirts : but for the very b * 8 t work—for a shirt that the fastest workwoman cannot make in a whole day- —we seldom are paid a > much as a shilling . Por collars , 4 a , a penny and three-halfpence each—never more ! Commissioner ( a warm-hearted looking fellow }—Merciful God ! why , how do you contrive to exist ? 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 wearingaway j 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 , said the poor woman , pay the demand yet ; it is a just one .

      DISTRESS IN THE POTTERIES . The accounts received from Burslem ( the metropolis of the Potteries ) and the mining and manufacturing districts is the neighbourhood , are of the most alarming description . It would appeat 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 lost 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 affected the men occupied in the potteries and iron works . The proximate cause of the facts , according to the statements of gentlemen just arrived from Burslem , appears to be the reduction ofIA .

      per week from the wages hitaerto paid by Mr . Sparrow , Whose woxfes are situated near Bvralem . The same authorities state , that such is the magnitude of Mr . Sparrow's establishment , that the redaction 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 Btate . On Wednesday , Burslem , Hanley , Stoke , Tunstal , and Lane-Ead , the chief towns within the Potteries , were greatly excited ; so much bo indeed , that the authorities deemed it necessary to call ia the immediate aid . of the county police . and military . The turnouts , to the amount of Borne thousands , visited the collieries , iron * workB , and potteries , where men were to be found who

      had accepted the reduced scale of wages , and in some instances inflicted personal violence upon men whom they found peaceably engaged at work . At Fentonpark it is stated that one man was thrown into scalding hot water , and in other places acts of the grossest violence were committed . On Wednesday the discontented assembled is great numbers , and their line of muster , if not of march , extended from TuuBtal to Lana-end , a distance of at least seven milts . Some detachments of Yeomanry paraded the district , but this description of force being 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 teat of the Earl of

      Dartmouth , at Sand well , on Wednesday afternoon , for the purpose of obtaining advice , and if necessary military aid . Lord Dartmouth being , however , from hom *> , the worthy Alderman resorted to other means , and the same evening a troop of the 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 assistants for a row bave arrived from Bileten and other manufacturing districts of South -Staffordshire ; The inBurgents were on Thursday marching for Cheadle , bnt it was confidently hoped that the precautonary measures adopted by the authorities would prevent further outrage .

      A letter dated Birmingham , Priday evening , says : — tl Things are in a dreadful state in the Potteries—all the colliers out , and I fe&r next week will not pass 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 , iu the same of God , can blame them if they take it . Human endurance cannot much longer continue , and where it will end God only knows . 1 have just seen a gentlemen who passed through the Potteries to-day , and he says no serious acts of violence have yet been committed , but they appear ready for mischief . The masters bave proposed a reduction of wages , not requiring the labour of the men at all , and that has caused tfee present confusion . Yesterday the mob carried off provisions out of the shops at Stoke , and some , I am told , have been apprehended . "

      A Jetter from Newcastlo-under-Ltne , dated July 14 th , says— " I arrived here . last night from Stafford . On entering the town , I found it more like a garrison than any thing else . Last night the colliers came iato the town in hundreds , and caused great commotion . So great was the alarm , that the troop of Newcastle Yeomanry . Cavalry ware called out , and stationed at the Duke of York and other publie-bouBes . To-day the colliers arrived in large numbers , and commenced levying 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 nitsn 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 would be better for them to be shot than see their children starve . At this moment , I of

      understand ' t ^ e town Xongren , which i « fonr miles from here , is in gr , at confusion , and much fear is entertained for the reBU . t of to-night The Newcastle troop has just marched out , headed by , they say , fifteen magistrates , amongst whom are Captain Power and the Reverend Mr . Snejd . Two troops of the 12 th Foot have also arrived from Weedon barracks by express , and what the result of to-night m 3 y be God only knows . I wish I was at— , out of the noise . The people here are in much distress , but it is to ba regretted that tbe poor people cannot see they are only increasing their difficulties ; but it is folly to reason with starving men . In Stafford and all the adjoining towns I found similar distress . I do hope Parliament will not Beparate without doing something to relieve tbe distress . If they do , take my word there will be one traveller less upon the «> ad . "

      Subsequent accounts from these districts represent that , bad as appearances certainly were , the alarm has passed away . The above statements , it will be borne in mind , refer to proceedings preVlQUI to last Sunday . The accounts since received , from the Potteries give a very favourable report of the state of the district . The system of perambulating the roads in bodies and levying contributions on tie inhabitants has been abandoned , and the colliers confine their operations at present to visiting the pits , and compelling all whom they find at work to join the turn out Nearly the whole of the mines and iron 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 rompliidwith . 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 a 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 received New York papers to the 1 st , Philadelphia to the 1 st , Boston to the 2 nd , and Halifax to the 5 tb , and from Canada generally to a corresponding late date . The * Britaania is a day behind her usual time of arrival , as usually calculated , which arose from her being detained off Halifax , on her way from BostoD , for tbirty-six hours , by a most dense fog , which rendered it unsafe to run for the harbour . She sailed from Halifax on the * morning of the Gtb , having left Boston on the 2 nd , and has made the voyage under ten days . She has fiftyseren passengers , amongst whom is Major Cooke , the bearer of despatches from Lord Ashbarton . ¦

      ( From the New York American of July I . ) Tbe political occurrences of tho last few weeks in the United States have been discouraging to all who love their country , and hope for the perpetuity , aa well as efficiency , of its free institutions . ^ At Washington discord prevails . The President is without the confidence of Congress , or any considerable portion of it , and the result is disagreement as to almost ail important public measures . The sta , te of the revenue laws is 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 duties , and new modes of levying those dnties were to be arranged . But the legislation

      on the subject contemplated by the Compromise Act , has not been matured , and to meet this contingency a temporary Bill was passed , extending to August 1 st the duties in force on June 1 st , and the laws for collecting them . Upon this temporary Bill tbe President has put his veto , and aa there are not two-thirds in either House to carry the Bill , notwithstanding the veto , it iB defeated , and the collection of any revenue will be disputed . - The effect upon 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 ia very abundant } and first-rate paper is in demand at from sis to seven per cent , interest per annum . New York State Stock , since the « loaing of th « 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 further amount is injudiciously issued , will not be lower .

      Public feeling is much excited in New Orleans , in regard to the conduct 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 . tolthirty-eight per cent .

Beigium . —French Tariff . —The greatest excitement continues to prevail in Belgium on account of the French ordonnaace for increasing the import duties onimehs . The answers of the King of Belgium and his ; 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 oew law which is to take effect on the 20 th July , on the Belgian frontier ; but we think th « following account likely to be near the truth , it is gives in the Paris correspondence ofvone of the Brussels papers : — " The Belgian government has declared to ours , that it could not grant the concessions demanded by us in return fora reduction of duty on linens , and that itjwould feel itself obliged to use reprisals if some modification of the law ot 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 Germau customs' union . "

      Important from St . Domingo—Revolution in Hayti—President Boyer Dbposed . — We learn to-day , ' ' 8 ay 8 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 t , h , that just before his departure he was informed by ene of the most fe > epectable citizonB of St . Croix , that lettersJiad just been received by an arrival from St . 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 tbo hurry of departure , Captain Hill did not make very particular inquiries . The impress on , however , is strong on hia mind that his informant said thai President Bbyer had been put to death , but of this he is hot positive . " -

      The Fremh Recienct 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 taei Prince de Joinville and the Dukes d'Aumale and Monpen-Bier in succession . M . Thier 9 has returned to Parig , and is already in the thick of the intrigues upon 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 .

      Executions for Mubdeb . —Clonmel , July , 16 . - —This afternoon Byrne and Quilty ( the former for the murder oj Robert Hall , Esq ., the latter for the murder of a man . named Laffin ) pa- 'd the forfeit of their lives in front of our county ; gaol , the scene of bo many similar melancholy spectacles , There were present at least five thousand persons . Public anxiety was much excited in consequence of the report , which veiy generally prevailed , tbat Byrne would make a full disclosure of the fearful part taken by him in the murder of Mr . Hall . He was , however , totally Bilent Upon that topic , although previously t <> his execution , and whilst in his cell , he occasionally adverted to that horrible assassination ,

      and said the part which had been " assigned ' ' him in that tragedy , by his prosecutors was not that which had been performed by him . ' The conduct of the wretched man afforded a satisfactory proof of the influence of the Roman Catholic priesthood over eonvicts of the worst class- ^ -the ^ contrition ^ of Byrne having teen manifested in a manner which showed how deeply he felt the enormity of the reyolting crime for which he suffered . The unfortunate youth , Quilty , who was little more than twenty years of age , protested bis innoceiice in the most energetic manner , as well in his last moments as repeatedly

      einee his conviction . H « stated that he not only had not been at any murder , but that his feelings recoiled at Bucb 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 as innocent as the other convict WW kuilty ; But the same 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 as , at least , a doubtful case . However , all speculation is now unavaUing . The bodies of the two men executed were interred in the eveiiing in the place allotted for tkat purpose . inlthe gailyaxd ,. ' . .
