France. Tire '* Thi«E Gumma Dw'-Thei Par...
FRANCE . Tire ' * Thi _« e Gumma _DW ' _-Thei Paris journals of Tuesday , the third of the . three glorious da _« " of Julv , _Contain reviews ofthe History ofthe ReVohitionof 1 S 30 . The Kadical journals deplore at inch length , and with apparently much sincerity , Sat which thev deem tlio utter failure of the revolution of 1830 , aiid which the annivcrsarv of thc great dav ( July 29 ) brought to their remembrance , lhe ] National _distinguishes itself in this course . It com- j ounces with observing , that" crowds of citizens , in- j eluding the students , and the operatives of the Fau-1 bout-gs _^ " raid , on the _preceding day , thc tribute of their respect and admiration at the foot of " the column of July , " erected on thc site of the Bastile , to thc victims * of the " three days , " whose remains j lie interred beneath it .
" 'We hare , * " says the National , "had our proportion—3 nd a large one it is—of the persecutions and the sorrows which all must experience who devote themselves with ardonr to thc task of reconquering for France her principles and her flag ; but we are not among those who would deter our fellow citizens from eclchratiw ; the victory of the people , although remembering the deceptions that followed it . We have seen that system wluch pa _« cd from the hypo * orisica ofthe Hotel dc Viile to thc cynical eorraotion practised at the present moment by M . Guizot gradually increase and strengthen itself ; nevertheless ,
great as have been our trials and are onr griefs , we liave never blasphemed against the _Revolution of July . " The Rational proceeds to saT , that it had never _, from thc dav after thc Revolution , been thc dupe of that which was professed then , and followed up since , Unit it perceives at the same time beneficial results for libertv that can never be destroyed . " In spite of all , " continues the writer , " if the revolution of July were f o be made again , wo would , without hesitation , be in the midst of thc combatants ; for , deplorable as is tlie present political system of France , it lias not removed from our memories the recollection
cf that which preceded it . Funeral services wei * performed on Monday in all the churches of Paris and banlieuc , in honour of thc victims of July . In thc church of St . Paul , in which parish the Column of July is creeled , a special service was celebrated , at which were prcseut the Prefect of the Seine , the Commandant of thc . National Guard of the department , and staff , Gen . Viscount _SeLastianJ _, Commandant of the First _Jlilitary Division , Genera ! Aupick , Commandant of Paris , with the superior officers of the regiments composing thc garrison , and several of the National Guards . Thc porch and inside of the church were hung with black . The colours on _thePont-Ncuf and that on the Column of July were veiled with black crape , and hung halfmast high daring thc service .
SPAIN . Wc learn from the Madrid journals ofthe 19 th of Jtdy , that General Concha had issued aproclaniation to the inhabitants of Catalonia , promising a full and complete amnesty to all the insurgents , including even the leaders , who should deliver np their arms -within a week . Thc only exceptions were such persons ss might hare pillaged the public property and Government functionaries who had joined in the revolt . __ _Accoiidi . vg to Madrid papers ofthe 21 st , much excitement had been caused by the departure of a _lirigade for Cuenca , from which place it could easily be directed upon cither " Valencia or Aragon . There were rumours of agitations in Galicia and other provinces on account of thc new tribute tax , but they
xecded confirmation . The Heraldo , under date of ten o'clock at night , announces the receipt of a telegraphic despatch from Paris , warning the authorities that Generals Prim and Ametler were travelling towards Spain by way of Bouig Madame . The Gazette _-published despatches from Barcelona of the 17 th . A Tarty of insurgents-was dispersed by the troops near Vails . Tranquillity is nearly restored in thc whole of the principality . Thc Queen arrives at Saragossa on the 23 rd . She passes tbe first night at Cervcra and the second at Fraga . One hundred prisoners ¦ were taken near Sco i ' Urgel by the _colnmn sent in their pursuit as they were about passing the French ¦ frontier . Amongst them were Aguirrc aud two or three other chlcts . They were ordered to be conducted to Lerida to be tried by court-martial .
_CossrmiCT ai Mauga . —The Madrid papers of the 25 th ult . contain thc _following : — " On thc 19 th the Governor of Malaga was officially informed tliat a conspiracy had been concocted in that city , which "was to burst forth on the 21 st Several Serjeants of a regiment in the barracks of the Merced were to have used their inflaence to procure the surrender of all thc arras in the place when called upon by the conspirators , who to tlic number of 1000 , most of them national guards , were to march to thc spot . The plot was revealed by one of thc Serjeants to the general in command of the town , who took the necessary measures to counteract tbe mischief . Several arrests have in consequence been made . Malaga was perfectly tranquil when thc courier left . "
SWITZERLAND . TnE Swiss Jouhxals aunouncc the death by violence of M . Joseph Leu , of Ebcrsol , member of thc Grand Council of Lucerne . This event took place at his country house , on the nig ht of the 19 th . The deceased had long taken a leading part in the aiFairs of the country , aud his conduct in the Jesuit question liad excited CTeat resentment against him . AI . Leu was found dead in his bed , a ball having passed through his breast . The murderer had entered thc window by means of a ladder . A quantity of straw and other combustible _materials had bee n collec t ed round thc hon ? e , evidently with the intention of setting fire to it , had thc ball from any circumstance missed its intended victim . So duo has yet been discovered of the murderer . The Gazette dc Bale states , that AI . Leu was murdered by a servant , named Rcdlinger , on account of a private difference about money matters . Thc murderer has escaped .
The Helvetic ofthe 2 Cth of July , says : — The death of AL Leu has furnished _afresh * occasion for acting liatshly against the adversaries of thc Jesuits in Luccrae . Three inns , one of _thcia kept by a person named Trolleur , a native of Soleure , have been closed by the police , and their owners thrown into prison . AL Trolleur received orders to quit the city within eight hours . Two commercial travellers 3 iave also been arrested without any cause . The city is already foil of soldiers , and four more companies Ikitc just been called in . The tribunal has condemned 117 more adversaries of thc Jesuits to ten months' imprisonment , which brings up thc total _Bumbertoifei .

The Acadia brings to England the lion . Louis IffLanc , the minister to the Court of St . James . Mr .

CANADA . ANOTHER AWFUL FIRE IN QUEBEC . ( Ftom the Quebec Mercury of Monday , Jane 23 . J _Ilcspor . dingly we take up ourpen to recordasocond disastrous fire which has nearly blotted Quebec from ¦ the list of cities . Our task in this matter is not only painful hat difficult of execution . To convey aii adequate idea of the extent of misery caused by these two tir es is impossible ; to conceive the ultimate results hardly to be compassed by the human mind . On Saturday evening last , about eleven o'clock , flames were discovered issuine from the _hangatdof
M . Tessier , Esq ., N . P ., in 3 _'AiguiIJon-strcet , just without St . dohu ' s-gatc . The alarm of fire by the tocsin was tardily given , but at the earliest moment possible a number of persons were on the spot who lent every assistance toward * arresting the progress of tho fire ( which , it is said , arose from the emptying of a cau of hot ashes on a dunghill ) . By degrees it crept from street to sweet , and the final result was that" thc entire suburb of St . John , " including that denominated St . Lewis Suburbs , is , with the exception of a few paltry streets , in which but few houses liad _Iieen built , _entirely devastated .
The fire spread from causes which favoured it on the r . ' . i . _'r ; . ! jtof the ' 2 SthMay—namely , thcshiii'ded roc . - v . w -ill winds , and the previous dry weather -V * *• ¦ •<• was a miserable supply of water , aud b'r _iiensrts , beyond the military , were on the _£ . ¦ _¦* _Immediate preparations were made by the _jr-i-Jiv . _yv ... ithoritic 3 , under the sanction of the mayor , for ancjiing the lire by blowing up houses or entire Uo :: ' . is ; « _rannencing at the English burial-ground l ' o _wdc r was sent for , but so rapid was the advance ot the iirc , that before it arrived the blocks intended to
1 ) 0 destroyed were in flames . Artillerymen , with ammnniiion , were howevor shortly at the disposal of the authorities , and six houses were blown tip at different periods . Two were rased iu Chcvrotlercsticet , and so violent was the concussion from the explosion , a house on the opposite side of the road was completely rent in twain , and fell . This destruction of property was not effected without loss of life . One man was killed by thc falling materials , and several others received severe injuries , some serious fractures , of whieh one , M'Kemia , hass ' mec died .
At eight o ' clock on Sunday morning the fire may Ic said to liave been stayed . " What is now to become of us ? Our workmen , of all description !! , are ruined and houseless ; mam- who lad commenced their re-establishment after tlie last Brc have been again burned out ; their former savings and ths assistance afforded hy the charitable and Irom private sources are alike sacrificed . A large number of mmilies have fled from the citv . _^ 11 u Teiy nxuch to feared th ' " 1 * _tllc-r secession Jill be permanent .

. - The parishes at Pointe Levi are filled witlit refugees , _asnlso Champlian Ward aa aa SMery Cove ; we have , moreover , just heard that Beauport , Lorette , and the several villages adjacent , to the c i t y are crowded .- Within the walls but few houses , even of the highest respectability , are not crowded ; one gentleman has twenty-eight persons in his house , another fifty-five , and a third forty . - In the two fires , at theleast , 3000 houses have been consumed , and 20 , 000 persons rendered houseless . The following day ( Sunday ) , a large meeting of citizens was held in the Parliament Buildings , when means for providing shelter and food for the _suffered were agreed upon . Major General Sir James Hope
kindly placed at the disposal of the corporation the Splinter Proof Barracks , and 350 tents , which were put up in the Cove Field , by the military , by five o ' clock in the evening . * . _*''* ' *¦ _* ¦¦ " * The scene was one truly piteous . Hoary age , and helpless infancy , frail women , the sick and decrepid , halted in these bleak highways and rude outbuildings , unable to ily further from the scene of danger ; there they sunk down , overwhelmed with 'despair . Some idea of the sufferings of these broken-hearted people may be gathered from thc fact that two children , who were taken from a bed of fever , expired yesterday in a stable . A woman also expired from fright and exhaustion in an open field , and we have been told that a man also died in some wretched corner on Sunday
night . ( From tho Quebec Gazette . J _Disrninciiox of . Food to the St'FFEREns _crinE Late Fire . —As no bread could be obtained from the bakers on the morning after the fire ( it bciug Sunday ) , biscuit was procured , and about-twelve' cwt . was immediately : distributed to the crowds of _jioov sufferers , who had fled for safety with their little all , and were lying on the glacis , and in the fields adjoining the martcllo towers . This temporary relief was conducted by Messrs . _Synies and Faribault , who were assisted hy Messrs . Frechette , jun ., Iluot , Fulton , Prendergast _, jun .,- and Evans . On Aionday morning the distribution of bread was made at thc building of the Legislative Assembly , under thc superintendence of Messrs . Faribault , Chabot , and Holt , and continued to a lato hour . The number of individuals who were thus supplied with food was 4 S 00 , or 1100 families .
_IMPORTANT NEWS FROM TEXAS . We take the following extracts from the New York papers ; intelligence from Galveston to the 23 rd ult . had been received by tlie Princeton steamer : — The _Tbeatv with Mexico rejected . _—Pbesidext Joxes _' s Mkssage . —The Annekatiox Project adopted _ujulnimol'sly by _Coxohess . —The . news brought by the Princeton is of the most interesting character . Both houses ofthe Texan Congress have unanimously consented to the terms of the joint resolution ofthe United States . The Senate had rejected the treaty with Alexico by a unanimous vote . A resolution was introduced into both Houses of Congress , requiring ike executive to surrender all posts , navy yards , barracks , & c , tothe proper authorities
of the United States , i'he joint resolutions were introduced into both Houses of Congress on the same day , and were almost identical in their tenor . The resolutions passed the Senate on the 18 th of June , and were sent to the house ; the house laid them on thc table , and passed their own resolutions unanimously , and sent them to the Senate on tbe next day . In the meantime considerable jealousy arose as to which branch should claim the honour of the paternity of the resolutions ; and it was finally settled that the house should take up thc resolutions , ef the Senate , and amend them in the third section . The house then passed them in their present form , and sent them back to the Senate , which body concurred in the amendment .
Thc Washington Union of tho 3 rd announces the acceptance of the annexation of Texas on the terms proposed by the latter . It therefore appears that there is now no avoiding the full consummation ofthe scheme .
MEXICO . The intelligence from Vera Cruz is to the 13 th ult . _Asothbh _Atiemti at Revoluiiox . —Wo have already , say the New York papers , had accounts of another revolution , but this arrival gives fuller details of it than had reached us . It seems that on the 6 th of June , according to a letter in the Picayune , a regiment broke through the guard stationed at the Government Palace and took thc President and Secretary of Foreign Relations prisoners ; but thc revolutionists were immediately afterwards put down by thc citizens and soldiers , and thc above distinguished personages set at liberty . In this affair , a colonel , a captain , and about thirt y o f the » ri v a t es belonging to the _maloentents were killed , when quiet was once more restored . Many men in high stations in Alexico aro suspected of having a hand in causing this new outbreak , and it is said that ex-Secr etary _Tornel has been arrested and imprisoned .
CUBA . Great Fmb at Matanzas . —Loss Estimated at Eight Hundred _Thousand Dollars . —TheiVcw York Express ofthe evening preceding the Acadia ' s departure publishes thc following : —We have a Havannah paper ofthe 28 th ult ., which gives us the details of a great fire in Alatauzas , that happened on the 26 th . Thc following we translate from La Aurora , a Matanzas paper of the 27 th : —It appears that a severe calamity has befallen the rieh city of Matanzas . At half-past eight o ' clock , a . m ., the bells ofthe parish church announced that thc richest part of the city was seized by thc flames . In fact , the fire had burst out , as we are informed , in a carpenter ' s shop , in the Marina , where a large collection of timber supplied abundance of fuel to the flames . The fire immediately extended to thcadjacent buildings , which were all of wood , and of such age a ? to be highly
combustible , so that thc conflagration extended rapidly towards thc Royal Custom-house , on the opposite comer , and tothe house of Don BartolmC * de la Mater , which was soon seized by the devouring clement , threatening to consume the whole town . It is three o ' clock in the afternoon , and we have just left the scene of the catastrophe ; and while the ruins of the edifices of the _whole Marina are consuming , the pri n cipal bl oc k , and another adjoining it , have disappeared . A great part of the contiguous blocks in the west have also been destroyed in part . We may truly say that . vkat has been the general depot of the great part of thc commercial wealth of their city has now been made a prey to the flames . The losses have been incalculable , and consternation so great that the streets were blocked up with men , women , and children , flying for their lives from the flames . The splendid house of Don Vicente de Junco has been destroyed .
INDIA AND CI 1 INA . —Ovmhjxd Mail . Losnox , Friday AIorxixg , August 1 . —Despatches have been received , anticipating the arrival of the Overland Afail from Bombay . The dates are—Bombay , June 19 * , Calcutta . June 8 ; Madras , June 10 ; China , Alay G ; Egypt , July 19 ; and Malta , July 21 . The present mail , as far as political intelligence is concerned , is certainly a barren one . From Scinde no news is usually good news , and we see little reason for questioning the accuracy of tho definition on this occasion . From the Southern Mahratta country _tve have no news save what relates to a few military movements . Our news from the Punjaub bears referen * e principally to the ravages of cholera , which dreadful scourge has spread over the country far and wide , and in the city of Lahore has cut off hundreds daily . Cholera has been very prevalent both at Bombay and Poonah . Thc news from China is of no interest .
National Trades' Conference. Aionday, Ju...
NATIONAL TRADES ' CONFERENCE . AIONDAY , JULY 38 . ' The Trade , pursuant t » public notice , held their second Conference to consider and determine on two plans of organisation , drawn up and prepared by the Provisional Central Comniittse—the one for the more efticient regulation of strikes , or turn-outs ; and the other for employing surplus labour in agriculture and manufactures .

Fleming , Hobson , Skelton , and Barratt—and took part in the discussions , but did not vote .
_iTlie chairman , in opening the proceedings , congratulated the Conference on their again assembling to discuss subjects bo important for tho benefit ot tlie working classes . He could assure them that since they last met the Central Committee had not been unmindful of the interests of the working classes . They had divided their plans of organisa _^ tion into two distinct sections , namely , one for the better union of Trades generally , and the otlier for the better employment of surplus labour in agriculture and manufactures . The more ho ( Mr . T . Duncombe ) considered the plans which the committee had proposed , the more was ho convinced that they were the only ones which would have the effect of permanently _benefiting the working classes .
( Hear . ) They were now assembled to discuss the E lans which thc committee had proposed , and he oped that they would do so with temper and discretion . He was bound , however , to . tell them , that he had received many communications , to the effect that a sufficient space of time had not intervened between the publication of the plans , as drawn up by the committee , and tho assembly of the Conference to consider them , to allow of tho Trades gonerally to send delegates . Indeed appeals . had been made to the eommittee to postpone the mceting _' of Conference , for some two or three months . ; but the committee felt that it would have been an exercise ol power liable to'be called in question . Thc Conference that appointed the committee had fixed the day
for thc assembling of the second Conference ; and though tho committee knew that the time between the publication ofthe plans aiid the meeting was very short—far too short—still all they could do was to convene the Conference , leaving it to the body when assembled to adjourn for a stated period if . it thought such a course desirable , or at all likely to result in a better representation of the Trades . The plans had been promulgated as soon as * thoy had been prepared , and they would have been prepared sooner , had the respective Trades sooner responded to the call made on them for the detail information necessary for thc committee , before drawing up their _ssliemes of organisation . lie had thus brought the matter before them : if they thought
it best to adjourn , they had the power to do so .... No desire being expressed to adjourn the meeting , The Secretary read over the order of business . A list of standing orders was also submitted , which was agreed to nem . con . The report of the Provisional Committee was brought up by the secretary , which , on the motion of Mr . Berry , seconded by Air . Aarons , was received , and read at full length . When it was concluded , Mr . Rogers rose and read a plan submitted by tho Trades of Bristol . Upon the motion being put that this plan should bo received , Mr . W . Evans moved" That any attempt to form a general union on a plan combining the twofold principles of the organisation
of Trades and Land allocation , will be impracticable and prejudicial to the union now sought to be cemented "—which was seconded by Mr . Young . On the question being put , the Chairman declared the amendment carried . The preamble of the plan propounded by the Provisional Committee was then submitted , and unanimously adopted . Thc further discussion of the plan was _adjovitBftA Mwtil Tuesday morning , ten o'clock . The following members were appointed to . audit the committee accounts : — -Messrs . Bush , Carpenter , W . Evans , Potter , and Kenyon , Block-Printers . The Conference then adjourned .

Evans reported from the auditors , and stated that they would be prepared with a full report on Wednesday morning .
