At half past 1 o'clock on Wednesday, (says the Courier of the 5th June), the commons being summoned to the house of lords, the royal assent was given to If, bills, and the lord chancellor then read the lords commissioner's speech as follows: My lar-h and gentlemen ""His majesty commands us to inform von that the state of the public business "enabling his majesty to close the session at a period of the year, the most ennvcnient for a general election, it is his ma - jesly's intention to dissolve, without delay, the present parliament, and to di rect the issue of writs for the calling of; a new one. uHis majesty cannot take leave of you without commanding us to express his majesty's deep sense of the zeal and public spirit which you have constantly displayed in the discharge of your several important functions. "His majesty particularly acknowledges the promptitude and discretion with which you have applied yourselves to the objects specially recommended to you by his majesty at the commencement of this session; and his majesty confidently hopes, that the good effect of your deliberations will be manifested in the improved stability of public and private credit. "His majesty has the satisfaction to inform you that the distinguished skill, bravery and success, with which the operation of the British arms in the dominions of the king of Ava have been carried on, have led to the signature, upon highly honorable terms, of a preliminary treaty with that sovereign, which his majesty has every reason to expect will be the foundation of a secure and permament peace. "His majesty further commands us to repeat to you, that his majesty's earnest endeavors have continued to be unremittingly exerted to prevent the breaking out of hostilities among nations; and put an end to those which still unhappily exist, as weil in America as in Europe.

Parliament was then prorogued by CQmmissiou, to the 14th of June. Von. Weber, the musical composer, died at London about the 1st of June, aged40year.

Napoli and Athens are both menaced by the Turks and Egyptians. There is reason to hope a portion of the garrison of Missolonghi escaped.; This hope is founded upon the solicitude of Ibrahim to prevent any communication with the coast. Ibrahim had, according to the Journal des Debats, given orders to kill all his prisoners, and even unarmed peasants, in order to complete the number w' six thousand heads and pairs of ears, that the sultan had ordered him to send to Constantinople. It appears he could not make up his number at Missolonghi. The death of Canaris, by a cannon bail, is confirmed.

During all this time all hands were at quarters on board the Cyane, the matches lit, arid the guns double shotted; and tiie Brazilians were plainly seen at quarters also. A bo.it was then sent to the Cyane, the ohVer of which informed Captain Elliott that Buenos Avres wa blockaded, and that permission would

not be given him to proceed further. Captain Elliott gave tbemto understand

that he was determircd to proceed to Buenos Ayres, and that he would allow their commander thirty minutes to decide whether he would use force or not; but that he (Captain Elliott) was determined to proceed. At the expiration of thirty minutes, they were hailed Irom the Cyane to know their determination, when they inquired if they could have a letter that was on board the Cyane for the Admiral: they were informed that they could have it, if their boat would come for it. A boat accordingly put off; but seeing

the Maria dc Gloria still kept on herjwerked in this country, but is supposed

The Brazilian, seeing thr.t he could not obtain i the advantage, lacked his maintopsail. when the maintopsail of the Cyane was also backed; the boat was permitted to come up; and tile Cyane continued on her way without further molestation. Norfolk, July J 3. Kidnappers. We were present yesterday at an examination before the ?Iayor, of three men, who had been taker into custody upon a charge of kidnapping free negroes and attempting to sell them as slaves. The men stated that they belonged to Nanticoke, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and they gave in their names Elijah Moore, alias Massey, John JV. Watts, alias liaison, and Dickenson They arrived here on Monday night in a small schooner called the Sakey of Vienna, Moore as a passenger, the other two belonging to the vessel. The next morning Watts waited on a slave dealer, with an offer to sell two negro women, and a small boy, then on board of his vessel. The dealer accompanied him to the wharf, to see the women, but they declared thev were free, and that they had been decoyed away by Moore from Baltimore, he would have nothing to do with them, but gave information to an officer, and the three men with the women and the child, were taken to jail. It appeared upon their examination that Moore was the chief actor in this nefarious transaction, and that the others were casually drawn into it. The statement of the women, which Moore himself admitted to be correct, was as follows: Ann Robinson, while gathering chips on on 5thinst. was accosted by Moore, who asked her if she had any objection to hire herself out? and being answered that she had not, he said he would hire her; (hat he lived at Nanticoke; had lost his wife some months before; that he wished her to go home with him and be his house-keeper, and made her very advantageous oilers. He even accompanied her home, and appeared so earnest and fair in his proposals, that she finally agreed to go with him. Accordingly the next morning she called on him on board the vessel in which he was to return to Nanticokc, (the schooner Wasp.) with her child, a boy about four years old, and another colored woman, named Lwlia Polls an acquaintance of hers, who vessel proceeded down the bay as far as Pangier Islands, but being very leaky. Moore proposed to the women to quit her and go on board of another small 'schooner, (the Sukey of Vienna, before 'mentioned, navigated bv Watson and Dickenson,) which had followed them all the way from Baltimore. j iei - T 2ie Watson slated that he was bound to Nanticoke, but was prevailed upon by Moore to proceed toNorfolk,by the oiler of P, 200, which he said he would pay him as soon as he could sell the Negroes he had with him, that be ing his object in wishing to go to Norfolk. On their wav down the Bav, the women were apprised of Moore's intentions, but were ordered to keep below most of the time, and cautioned not to cry out when on deck, should they pass any vessel. There is no doubt that Moore and Watson understood each other very well and that Watson, being the least suspicious looking man, undertook to sell the Negroes as his own pro perty, as betorc stated. It did not ap that Dickenson had any part in the

business. Moore is a miserable lookinnr'nnnir. nhhnn.rh tK,lv- h,(- 7 -in nnn,,r.,n.

Herald S ALsnunv, (N. C.) July 4. Another Gold Mine. We have been informed that, on the 13th ultimo, three men were permitted to make an experiment for finding Gold, on the land of Mr. West Harris, on Beaver-Dam creek, four miles from the "Narrows,'' on the Yadkin river, in Montgomery county, in this State; and that after working a short time, they were successful in finding Gold

It may be proper for us here to state that individuals are not permitted to wash for gold on shares, as formerly, either at Chisholm's or Harris's a company having purchased the privileges at the former, and the family of Mr. Harris having taken the management of the latter into their own hands, only suffering individuals to work there on restricted terms. B est Carolinian. Important Judicial Decision. The additional security afforded in remitting Bank notes through the Post Office, by cutting them in two, and sending each half by a different mail, had been rendered doubtful for some time by a notice issued from the Bank of the U. S. that no payment would be made cf any note of that Bank voluntarily cut in two or more pieces, unless all the parts of it should be produced. The doubt is now removed by a decision which give that certainty to the security contemplated by those who used that mode of remittance. The Democratic Press contains the opinion of Judge Washington, in the case Martin vs. The Dank oflhc United States, argued at the last October session of the Circuit Court of the United States, in Philadelphia, upon a statement of facts, which set forth, "that the plaintiff was the owner of a number cf notes of the Bank of the U. S. amounting in the whole to 500 dollars, which his agent, after the publication of the notice by the Directors that the Bank would not pay cut notes, unless all the parts were produced, divided into halves at Cincinatti, Ohio, and forwarded in two parcels, by different mails, for Philadelphia, one of which parcels never arrived. The demand of the plaintiff was for the full amount of the notes. The Judge, in his decision, treated the ques tion as if the notice were brought home to the plaintiff; and decided that the holder of a Bank note has a legad right to cut it with a view to the security of the debt of which the note is the best evi dence, and that the Bank, which is the debtor, cannot, by any declaration, however notitied, affect the legal rights of its creditor, who has not assented to the conditions of that declaration. Judge Peters concurred in opinion, and judg ment was rendered against the Bank foi the full amount of the notes' From the .X. Y. Com. Advertiser. July 1 0. Money Affairs. There was another explosion at about 12 o'clock to day, and one which threatens fearful ravages, as it is supposed to be a very heavy one. We mean the stoppage of the Life and Fire Insurance Company. There is a great crowd in Wall and William street and reports are as usual, very contradictory. Some allege that it is an absolute and heavy failure, whilst others assert that it is only a "suspension"' of payment in consequence of the inability of the company to raise a large amount of money which was wanted, on their securities. The Tradesmen's Bank. The crowd in Chatham square is immense and the press upon the Bank great. The outer doors are open and the inner doors shut. We understand, that such has been the alarm, that the bank dares not commence paying tkeir bills with less than 200,000 dollars; but that in consequence of the present TIic Fulton Rank. The run upon this! institution yesterday, was "prodigious,?? bat every thing was promptly met and to day all is quiet. We passed the bank since 2 o'clock, and there was nobody at the doors.

These bloody and fatal conllicts are shamefully frequent in our conntrj, and arc in a great meaMire attributable,to the false notion, too generally entained among us, that a prompt and iolent resentment of tbc slightest affront is necessary to prove the coin-age ot a gentleman. The truth is, the veriest coward will fight when he is in a passion, especially if he is surrounded by friends, whose interposition in his behalf he may reasonably expect. This readiness, howcer, to resent an insult, with a knife or pistol, is a characteristic of a savage anil not of a gentle'mar, and ought to be. discountenanced bv all the discreet and honorable part of society. We live under a government of laws, which ought to protect us, as well from the insolence ot the bully, as from the dagger of the assassin or the intrusion of the midnight robber. If our laws are not adequate to this protection, they are e.- ntiallv deficient and should be amended; but let it not be said, that in the State of Tennessee, a man is compelled to degrade himself to a level with the brute or savage, in order, when wantonly insulted, to maintain the character of a gentleman or to avoid the imputation of pusillanimity and cowardice. We know nothing of the peculiar circumstances of the case which has called forth these remarks, but we speak in reference to many other instances of similar violence which have resulted in consequences equally fatal. Aashiiilc It hip. The Hon. Mr. Adams died with his impressions lively to the last hour. About ten days previously to tile Jubilee, the committee of Arrangements, in Ouincy, addressed a note to him requesting his company on the occasion: An answer was sent in writing and he replied, besides, to the committee, UI shall not be present in body, but in spirit I shall be with you." The signature to the answer is the last he ever wrote, and it is said to be clearer from blemishes than any he has made for several ears. On the following Saturday ho rode in :i coach for a short distance. On the morning of the Jubilee, he awoke at the ringing of the bells and the firing of cannon, the servant who watched with him said, do you know Sir, what day it is' "O yes'.11 he replied, "it is the glorious 4th of July God bless it God bless ou all."' In the forenoon, the orator of the day Mr. Whitney, called to see him with a clergyman. They found him seated in a large armchair and Mr. Whitney in the course of the interview asked him for a sentiment to be delivered at the table in the afternoon, lie said I will give you "Independence forever" after a lew moments had elapsed, a lady present skcd if he wished to add any thing to ths toast, and he said not a ryUahle.
