Sunday and Tuesdays Post. LONDON. TUESDAY. JUNE 8 THE French papers of Saturday, with the Etoile, dated Sunday, have come to hand. They are full of rumours and specu- lations respecting the probable effect of M. de VilleVe's defeat. According to some he had offered his resignation, which had not been accepted. According to others," says the Constitutionnel, " the retreat of another Minister ( Viscount Chateaubriand) appeared probable, although that Minister, in the memorable discussion which will re- echo throughout Europe, took the precaution of preserving an apparent neutrality " The Elode consoles itself with the idea, that, combining together the votes of the two French Cham- bers there was a large majority in favor of the Jaw, viz. 833 for it, and only 265 against it.— An article from Odessa gives a copy of a real or pretended note of the Grand Vizier to Lord Strangford, on the subject of the breach of neutrality by British subjects, in assisting the Greeks with men and money. The Turkish Diplomatist is extremely puzzled to comprehend how any Govern- ment should be unable to restrain its sub- jects from interfering in a war in which that Government is avowedly neutral. The Con- stitutionnel gives thedetail of the disturbances at Madrid on the 23d and " 24th ult.; but the Journal ties Debats asserts that they occurred as far back as the second of May, and that they had been entirely suppressed and abun- dance restored long before the date of the last accounts, which was the 26th ult. The Council of Castile have addressed the King to enact more severe measures with regard to the- Constitutionalists. Intelligence from Trieste, of the 23d of March, states, that the fleet of theCapitan Pacha had been seen in the waters of Mytelene, steering for the south, and that it was very closely observed by some Greek squadrons. The latest price of the French Rentes on Saturday, was 103f. 36c. for money, and J03f. 70c. for the end of the month. A subscription for the Greeks has been commenced at Calcutta, and, up to the 8th of January, 18,764 sicca rupees had been sub- scribed. Letters from Mexico have arrived to the 10th of March. The most profound tran- quillity prevailed throughout the country. From Lima the news is, that Bolivar, in January, was in treaty with the Spanish Generals Laserna and Canterac, and strong hopes were entertained that hostilities would be avoided, the Spanish Generals having de- clared that they would not acknowledge the absolute Government of Ferdinand. Other accounts speak of the Spaniards having capi- tulated, on condition of being sent to an Atlantic port, by way of Panama.— Monte Video having been evacuated by the Portu- guese, i* taken possession of by the Brazilian troops.— Pernambuco is in the hands of a faction, who oppose the authority of the Brazilian Emperor. The ships of the latter blockade the port. The Dutch Government has repealed that hw V, v w\ i„ h u is forbidden to the subjects of Holland to make loans to Foreign Powers. Colombia,— fFrom the Bogota GazrtleJ.— The day after the arrival of the Commis- sioners from his Britannic Majesty at the capital, they waited on the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and expressed their satisfac- tion at the state of the country. On the 3d ( March) they again visited him, and delivered a letter from Mr. Secretary Canning, ac- crediting them as confidential Agents, or Commissioners, from his Britannic Majesty to the Government of Colombia. Being ac- knowledged by the Vice President in this character, they solicited on the 6th to be pre- sented to his Excellency, which was done on the 8th, atjjalf- past eleven in the morning. At this hour the Secretary for Foreign Affairs conducted them to the Audience hall, where they, were introduced to his Excellency the Vice- President, who was accompanied by the other Secretaries of State, and various general officers. On being presented, Col. Hamilton, Chief of the Commission, addressed the Vice President in the following manner:— " Sir, It is iny ardent de- ire, that the Commission sent I) V the King of England to the Republic of Colombia, be productive of the means of establishing a firm and solid alliance between the hyo countries. Their mutual interests demand this treaty, and 1 confess I see no obstacle towards the attainment of this desi- rable object. I must acknowledge, that at present but little is known in England of South America, that re- gion in which nature lias been so generous, and, I may say, lavish, of her most precious gifts— where are found in abundance all the productions peculiar to the tropics, and the greater part of those belonging to the temperate climates of Europe. But your Ex- cellency will allow me to assure you, thattlio British nation is not ignorant of the sacrifices already made by the Colombian people, nor of the valour and reso- lution manifested by the Colombian army, in a most bloody and arduous war, by which they have obtained freedom from anoppressiveslavery. I can con6dently assert, that Ihe British people feel the most lively in- terest for the welfare and prosperity of Colombia. Permit me likewise to declare that I participate, to the fullest extent,- in their generous sentiments. It is said. Sir, that France- wishes to assist Spain in re- con- quering these countries. Let not the people of Colombia entertain the least apprehension of such an invasion, be- cause in Great Britain they will find a constant and firm friend. J have the honor to present to your Excel- lency, on the part of his Britannic Maje ty, a snulf box, in testimony of his esteem." His Excellency the Vice- President an- swered with expressions of the highest con- sidaijatioi) towards the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and esteem towards the nation. " This important commission," lie said, " intrusted to persons so estimable, must necessarily produce the greatest advantage to Colombia and to the in- terests of Great Britain.— The sacrifices of the Co- lombians have been crowned by victory, and the as- surances of friendship which you now offer us merit our particular gratitude. The Republic has never sought for enemies, who by keeping us in a state of warfare, obstruct the progress of our happiness— but if Spain should still find in France or any other power, allies and coadjutors desirous of interrupting that in- ternal peace which we have acquired at the expense of so much blood, and so many sacrifices, the reso- lution and constancy of the Colombians will not be less firm than that which they have shown for the last fourteen years in their struggle with Spain. The constitution prohibits me from receiving presents from any foreign King or Prince— permit me, gentle- men, to express the sentiments of my heart for this mark of esteem from the King of Great Britain, until Congress consent that I accept it.'' The ceremony ended, the commissioners remained a long time in conversation with the Vice- President, and other persons in the hall; during which his Excellency bestowed great eulogium on Mr. Canning, who, he said, merited not only the gratitude of Co- lombia, but of all South America. This interview has inspired us with the hope that we shall soon see established between Co- lombia and Great Britain, the most intimate relations of friendship and harmony, and we anticipate from this commission, the most favorable results for the cause of South Ame- rica, so long afflicted by a bloody and dis- astrous war. His Brazilian Majesty, it is said, after the ceremony of taking an oath of fidelity to the Constitution, gave an audience to Lord Cochrane, at which he gave his Lordship explicit assurances that he had no other aim than the independence of Brazil. His Lord- ship is stated to have been further conciliated by the condemnation of the ships captured irom the Portuguese, the delay in which had first excited suspicion of sinister designs on the part of the Government at llio. At Pernambuco a Portuguese, in the em- ployment of a British merchant had been arrested by order of the Governor Carvalho, which beinsr contrary to the treaty subsisting with this Government, the British Consul demanded his release, which was refused; he was, however, ultimately liberated, in consequence of the spirited conduct of Capt. Willis, of his Majesty's ship Brazen. Captain Laurence and four subaltern officers, of the Royal Marine Artillery, will go out in the Algerine sloop of war, to do duty off Algiers in the mortar- vessels. The Lightningand Meteorsteam- vessels, attached to the Plymouth and Portsmouth dock- yards, are ordered to assistin towing the bombs and mortar- vessels into and from their respective stations, during the intended active bombard- ment of that city. Mr. Gaze, Master- Atten- dant of the dock- yard, who was master of the Queen Charlotte during Lord Exmouth's gal- lant attack, is ordered to take the direction of them. Alarming Scarcity at Madras.— Madras, Dec. 23.—" It is with regret that we notice the increasing distress prevalent among the natives from the scarcity of rice : in the bazaars it is not to be procured, and only one bankshall is now open for its sale, conse- quently the rush of the people to obtain a portion of this small supply is dreadful, and the North Beach is covered with hundreds, waiting with the faint hope of being at least fortunate enough to reach its door. Many European gentlemen are seen mingled with the crowd, endeavouring to procure grain for their ser- vants, which, after having succeeded, the difficulty of c- frying it away in safety is considerable, as the right of the strongest, the only law of necessity, seems universally acknowledged. Some few mer- chants are dealing out their stock of rice scantily and secretly during the night, to avoid the scene of con- fusion " and violence attendant on a public sale of it. Grain of the worst and oldest description is bought up with avidity, and many are reduced to subsist on grain ; this even is not to be purchased except in smalt quantities, and at an enormous price. Several deaths have occurred amongst the lowest order of the natives, which have been occasioned by starvation, and so miserable is their condition that many children have in despair been abandoned by their parents. " The inhabitants of Pondichorry, we regret to learn, are also sufferers to the want of food. We can now no longer indulge the expectation that a fall of rain may yet save the harvest of the coming year, as we understand from those acquainted with the subject, that the crops are already destroyed ; we however sincerely hope that plentiful supplies from Bengal and the Northward, will soon reach this port, to obviate the distressing effects of a scarcity which presses so severely on all classes of the native popu- lation. " December 25.— On Mondaynight a vast multitude assembled in the Black Town, and proceeded to break open some of the rice stores belonging to native merchants, which were plundered and. much grain carried totf. Guards of native troops were sent to protectproperty of this description.— The mob, how- ever, behaved in the most daring and outrageous manner towards the sepuys, while the latter, we understand, acted with the greatest forbearance, under very trying circumstances; two of the mob, however, are reported to be wounded, and one killed. It is imagined that not less than 10U, 001) persons were collected." National Schools,— On Thursday the Friends of the Institution for Educating the Children of the Poor on Dr. Bell's system, held their annual meeting attheSehool House in Bald- win's gardens, the Archbishop of Canterbury in the chair. There were present, besides his Grace, the Archbishop of York, tile Bishops London, Exeter, Worcester, Gloucester, T. His Majesty remains at Windsor, riding out daily in the Parks, and viewing the improvements going on about the Royal domains. The Royal assent was given on the 17th ult. to an act for incorporating a Com- pany of Guardians, and appointing Wardens and Assay- maslers for assaying and marking gold and silver plate in Birmingham, wherein it is enacted, that no Goldsmith or Silver- smith, or any other person or persons whom- soeverin Birmingham, or within thirty miles thereof, shall knowingly put to sale, ex- change, or sell any standard gold or silver plate, vessel, or manufacture of gold or sil- ver, made or wrought in the said town, or itliin thirty miles thereof, nor export the same out of the kingdom after the first day of July next, until the same shall be marked with the mark of the maker thereof, bearing the initials of his christian and surname, or, if partners, the initials of such partnership, and with the marks of the said Company of Guardians, in addition toother marks which are expressly directed by the said act to be stamped thereon, on pain that such plate, or the value thereof, shall be forfeited; and every person so exercising the trades of a Goldsmith or Silversmith is also required to enter his name, and his mark and place ot abode, with the Wardens of the said Com- pany, on pain of forfeiting the sum of one hundred pounds. The House of Commons assembled on Saturday ; some routine business was got through, and the Bills on the tableadvanced. The Session is expected to close somewhere about the 20th. A Bill has been brought into Parliament to enable the India Company to send ships direct from China, with tea and other Chinese productions, to any of the British Colonies or Plantations in America. Mr. Wilberforce, report says, will conclude his parliamentary career on Friday, with a speech on Mr. Brougham's motion relating to Mr. Smith, the Missionary. A public meeting of the merchants of Liverpool, called together by the Mayor, was held on Saturday, to petition Government for the recognition of the independence of South America. After some discussion, a petition to that effect was agreed to unani- mously, which lies for the signatures of the inhabitants at large. Lord Byron himself dul not wish the Memoirs published. How they came into the hands of Mr. Moore and the bookseller— for what purpose, and under what reservations— we shall probably be at liberty to explain at a future time ; for the present we can only say, that such is the fact, as the Noble Poet's friends can testily — Examiner. Orange Lodges.— The following Resolution was agreed to by the Grand Orange Lodge of Dublin, on the 21st May : " Resolved— That in consequence of the evils which have arisen from the erroneous views which many persons have taken of the motives and conduct of the Orangemen of Ireland ; and of the intention and tendency of processions which have usually taken place on the 12th of July, in memory of the glorious revolution, the Grand Orange Lodge feel anxious to evince publicly their desire to promote tranquillity, and to take from the ill- disposed every excuse for their misconduct, and are willing to re-' strain even their own most earnest wishes for the public avowal of that attachment to our glorious Constitution, which is the life- blood of the Associa- tion, hereby resolve, ' That no public procession of the Orange Association shall be made on the 12th of July next.' And that our Grand Secretary be in- structed to communicate this Resolution to the several Grand Masters for the information of all concerned." and Oxford; Lords Caltliorpe and Bolton; the Dean of Worcester; the Rev. Drs. Wordsworth and Petersford; Archdeacon Aldershaw, Gen. Thornton, J. Watson, Esq. and many other persons of distinction. The report was read by the Secretary, which stated, among other things, that in order to recruit the exhausted state of their funds, the Committee had applied to his Majesty, who had granted to them a Royal Letter, which had been the means of collecting £ 27,358. The number of schools united to the Society last year was 116; and the total, 1,963. It is their intention to institute a school in Mary- la- bonne for 400 boys and 200 girls ; and in proportion to the augmentation of their funds to institute schools in various other places. — The report concluded by showing the considerable wood done by the Society, which, although highly gratifying, would be too voluminous to detail. It met with excessive approbation, and was ordered to be printed. And after several speeches in praise of the Charity, thanks were then voted to the Chairman, Drs. Bell, Walmsley, and J. Watson, and the Meeting broke up. On Friday, the Gentlemen who usually bid for the Lottery attended the Chancellor of the Exchequer at the Treasury, when the offers for 20,000 Tickets, to be drawn on or before the 11th day of December next, were as follow:— Bish & others, £ 13. 10s.; Sive- wright, £ 13. 8s. But the Chancellor of the Exchequer having fixed his sealed price at 13 guineas, the first- named Gentlemen in- creased their bidding to that amount, and were then declared the Contractors. The King and Queen of the Sandwich Is- lands paid a visit on Saturday to the Royal Military Asylum. Their Majesties were attended by Sir Willoughby Gordon, and appeared much delighted with the establish- ment, the nature of which was explained to them by the interpreter. In the Court of King's Bench, on Thurs- day last, Thomas Thurtel and John Snow- den, were found guilty of setting fire to a warehouse in Watling Street, occupied by the former, with intent to defraud the Di- rectors of the County Fire Office, by falsely pretending that there were goods on the premises of the value of ,£ 1,913. 10s. whereas they well knew there were only goods to the value of ^ 100. Ennison was acquitted. The trial commenced at half- past nine o'clock in the morning, and the verdict wasnot given till near midnight. Robinson, the Jockey, betted, before the Epsom Races commenced, that he would win the Derby and Oaks, and be also married before Sunday. He has won each wager, and was married on Saturday. Approved Itemed;/ for Weakness in the Stomach. It is a fact worthy of the most serious atten- tion, that the disorders termed BILIOUS and NUKVOUS, with t heir train Of distressing symp- tom* ( such as Indigestion, l. oss of Appetite, Nausea, Pains, and Irregularity of the Bowels), owe ( heir origin, generally, to a weak and de- ranged state of the digestive organs. Gid- diness also, and Faintness or Dizziness, and other sensations which seem to threaten an attack of Palsy or of Apoplexy, are not un- common results from the same cause. The remedy required is one that shall gently relax th: bowels, and gradually restore the tone of the stomach, and TOWERS'S TONtC PILI , S are confidently recommended. They are the result of serious investigation, and long ex- perience in medicine; and the unequivocal ap- probation of medical men, and others of un- doubted eminence, with the great request they are iu with the public, are proofs decisive of their real utility, and of the high estimation in which they are held. The genuine are signed " John Towers" on each label, and may he procured at the Printers' of this Paper, and of venders of genuine medicines in all prin- cipal towns. CAMBRIDGE, June 4.— The Rev.

AS the present unexampled Rage for new Insurance Companies occasions the public At- tention to be engaged by vaiiotis attractive PRO- MISES, it may not be improper to remind the Friends of the County Tire Ojjice, what have bc- eu its PER- FORMANCES. The County Fire Office has now been established upwards ot seventeen Yeais, during which ' Time SIXTEEN HUNDRED SUFFERERS have been indemnified, and only one Claim lias been brutish! into a Court ot Law, namely, that or Ihe notorious Thurtels.

L PERsONS who have eonliiitted insured seven Years, upon ANNUAL as well as upon iepfetint'alPolicies, and whether they have lieen Claim- ants for Losses, or otherwise— an important Ad- vaniage which no other Insurance Ollice existing has afforded. By vigilant and prudent Management, the County Office grew rich dining the Years which were favor- able for In- inance Business, and iu this Advantage, Persons who now Insme participate.

Several of these, which were announced under high Patronage, anil with ihe most captivating Pio- tnises, have expired in total Insolvency, and left the disappointed Claimants in fruitless Litigation with their Trustees and Directors.

LONDON, TI. U » HI, IY, JUNE 10. p- g- niE French Papers received last ninjbt * bring the somewhat unexpected news of t he dismissal of the Viscount de Chateau- briand from the French Ministry. This ener- getic step ha* been forced upon M. lie Villele by the defeat which he suffered in the Cham- l> » pof Peers, and which is well known to have been effected by the intrigues of the Ultras out of office, and as it would now appear, by the connivance of their official friends. it is pleasant lo see that treachery has met with its deserts, and this retributive disgrace of M. Chateaubriand is certainly not the less gratifying, that it removes from the Councils of France one of I he busiest and most violent and perhaps the ablest of oil those enemies of freedom- and peace with whom Russian influ- ence has surrounded the French throne While, however, we profess our satisfaction at M. ite. Villele's triumph, we must not pass, without notice, the lesson lo be derived from thai Vlinister's danger, viz. Hie extreme im- prudence of placing any reliance upon a go- vernment of compromise. A Cabinet filled will) conflicting opinions may perhaps hold pretty well together until some contingency arises to call upon it to act: such a Cabinet, for example, may serve very well to appor- tion their routine tasks to clerks in office; indeed, its neutralising faculty will adapt it very happily for the nega'. ive duties of good government, which in times of peace and prosperity are not a few. [ Jut the very moment in which the active duties of the Executive commence, the weak- ness anil inefficiency of such a Government will betray themselves. Does internal faction distract the country, the vigor of the laws will be palsied by ihe grasp of some minis. . terial conciliator. Dees invasion threaten, the means of resistance projected, perhaps, upon an adequate or liberal scale, will be frittered down lo impotence and insignificance by some economist" iu office. Or do the financial cir- cumstances of the country require a bold and decisive measure of amendment, the reform will be obviated bv the insidious industry of some treacherous Minister. Thus the fruits of trimming in Government will alway be — laws unexecuted, and therefore unobserved- effects greatly inadequate lo the preparations made to produce thorn— ami all projects for the welfare of the Stale falling untimely and abortive The Journal du Commerce of Saturday states, that two young Prussians, Vlr. Kwchler, a Student in Medicine, and Mr. Sachse, a Secretary, have been condemned by the Special Commission to six years' imprison- ment in a fortress, for having belonged to a s cret association. Portugue: e in Monle Video.— A Buenos Ayros paper, called the Argus, of the 10th of March, gives the following account of the entry of General l. ecor into Monte Video :— The Republican, of Sunday, has given us some ( Mails of the entry of the Brazilian troops into M atte Video. This" event took place on the 2 • of Martin. Genera! Iecor entered, attended by his wife, a deputation of the Town Council, and his Europe., Brazilian stall. We can affirm, upon the faith of otir tioi'rosp'Mtdehtfe in that quarter, that the mourning with which the population received their imperial gin- sis, furnishes an irresistible proof of the aversion which' thev entertain towards foreign dominion. Never was there seen in Monte Video so mournful a spectacle. In the streets generally, nobody was seen : in that called Porton, there was only a small number of people collected to witness the entry. In th'J great square, no house had any spectators, but that of Senor ( loinez. Women, negroes anil young people, were the only spectators of the entry. The ( General proceeded to the residence of the. Council, • where he left his wife to proceed to church, whence he repaired to his house along with his wife. To amuse this lady there was a play in the evening, hut only three boxes were tilled, and those were occupied with women and new comers ." A teller from Gibraltar, of the 17th ult. gives the following account of the failure of the crops in Spain and Portugal: " Owing to the great want of rain experienced throughout Spain, the wheat crops are very b, d, for the easterly winds duringtha last mon'. h, and a burn- ing sun, have completely destroyed all hopes of the harvest being ordinarily productive ; indeed the wheat in some parts is not worth reaping, and the ac- counts from all parts complain sadly. Wheat has in consequence been selling in Spain as high as 65s. and 70s. per quarter; and barley has risen from 15s. to ' 27s. per q larter. It has also experienced a veiy considerable rise with us. ': In Por tugal the want of rain has been also very severely felt to that it is expected Lisbon and the Spanish ports will be thrown open.'' Letters from Catalonia also received this morning represent the hail storms and previous droughts to have affected their crops equally, and that the vines 1 ,1 I Stuttered considerably. The vessels which reach here from Madeira likewise complain of a scarcity of wheat." A contemporary has asserted that the dis- patches lately received from Mexico bring satis- factory accounts of the state of that country. We regret to say that this is notthe fact. The representations " which have hitherto reached Government on this subject by no means justify the wish expressed by the Liverpool Meeting for a speedy recognition of the new Stale; at least, as to Mexico. The public will of course expect his Majesty's Ministers lo proceed in so delicate a business with no less caution than firmness. They have sent out Commissioners tb examine into the state of Ihe couutry. Time must be given till those reports are drawn up, weighed, and subiacted to mature delibe- ration ; and then finally Ihe decision must be, riot according to our wishes, but our interests arid duties. We can assert, on the best. au- thoutv, that Mexico is at present in a state of cx- tmne• anarchy; and that Ihe contending fictions exhibit conduct little different, in many instances, from that of savages. Wh it • elied the arrival of llurbide may have in conciliating or still further exasperating the opposing parties, it remains for time alone to show. — New Times, We have occasion to know that individuals, whose station gives importance to what falls from them, continue to represent the contents of the dispatches received on Saturday from N'exico, as of the most unfavourable nature. We kn v not ourselves what to think of the matter ; but it is the bounden duty of persons in office to let the public know the real stale of the case, that if the reports are with- out foundation, men's minds may tic set fairly at rest Why me the resources of the couutry lavished on Agents and Commissioners, if the people arc to derive no benefit from their re- ports to suidethem ill theii operations?— Mi ru- in a Chroniele. Northern Expedition — A correspondent has kindly favored us with the following commu nication :— Cntm Thin e, Tli'irso, May 11 — As the public are much interested in every thing which concerns the brave Captain Parry and his dauntless followers, who h ; ve .. gain renewed their perilous wanderings on the ocean. I take the liberty to acquaint you, for the in- formation of votir readers, that the Hecia and Fury passed through' the Pentlan 1 Frith yesterday after- noon, with their colours living. Tjtev hail a line favo- rable lire, ze, am) as it still continues, it is supposed th. it this eveivng these brave men will, for a time, bid farewell to the. snores of their native Isle. They were piloted through the frith by a fishing smack, the master of which reports, that the crew of both vessels were in great spirits, anil most of them, who could write, gladly embraced the opportunity of returning to the shore to forward a few farewell lines to their relations and friends. An official dispatch to the Admiralty, and a bag of letters from each ship, which were sent to this office Accompanied by a polite card from Captain Parry have, in t'- rms of his request, been forwarded by the mail, agreeably to their several addresses. The impression on the seals of many of the sea- ~ men's letters was, " though lost to sight, to memory dear;" a motto, no doubt, reciprocal to the feelings of their friends atlioine, who, from this time, mast feel, a deep anxiety for ihe sucet >, s and safety of those brave and intrepid adventurers— a feeling which their countrymen in general must also anticipate.— Invur- wfw Courier.

On Tuesday night, at a quarter before eleven o'clock, the King arrived at his Palace in Pall mall, from Windsor His Majesty has uot entirely relinquished the marine excursion which was intended to take place in July. The King is said to be exceedingly pleased with the spirit of the regular inhabitants of Brighton, who have given substantial proofs of their gratitude, by the liberal subscription they have entered into, for the purchase and complete demolition of those new buildings which entirely intercepted the view from the Palace to the sea. Uis Majesty intends to re- turn to Brighton at the usual period. The King's Leoee, Court, ( fa— Yesterday his Majesty held a Court and Levee at his Palace in Pall mall. The usual attendants were at their stations between twelve and one o'clock. The grand hall was lined by the police. Two of the tallest men iu Ihe Life Guards, upwards of six feet high, dressed as Cuirassiers, were stationed in the grand hall. A detachment from the King's Guard marched into the Court, with their band in state uni- form. Soon after the gates were opened for the admission of the company, llis Majesty entered the State rooms at two o'clock, when the Field Officer iu waiting, accompanied by the Colonel of the guard, made a report to the King of the effective state of the three Regi- ments of Foot Guards. The King entered his Royal Closet, where the Earl of Lauderdale was admitted to an audience, and delivered the Orders of the Grand Cross, St. Michael, and St. George of ihe Ionian Islands, worn by his late brother. Sir Thomas Maitland. The Marquis of Lothian had the honor of an audience, to deliver the badge of the Order of the Thistle, worn by his late father. The Bishops of Bath and Wells, and Chichester, were admitted into the Roytd Closet, and did homage to his Majesty upon their election to their Sees. The Bishop of Lincoln attended as clerk of the Royal Closet, ns did Mr. Secre- tary Peel, His Majesty gave audiences to the Portuguese and Dutch Ambassadors, also to Ihe reigning Prince Reuss d'Ebersdorf, Loben- slein, and Gera. Hie Ambassadors and Mi- nisters present then made their obeisances to the King. The Cabinet Ministers also made their obeisances to his Majesty, who gave private audiences to Mr. Secretary Canning, Mr. Se- cretary Peel, the Duke of Wellington; and after the Levee to the Earl of Westmorland. His Majesty was surrounded by several of his Royal relatives and officers of State. On Tuesday afternoon, at four o'clock, the Duke of York held a Levee, as Commander in Chief, at his Office in the Horse Guards, which was attended by the Marquis of Bute, Lord Brudeuell, Lord George Beresford, Ge- neral Cockburu, and nearly fifty other military officers Should Parliament come to no determina- tion on the subject, it is in contemplation, that a public meeting be held for the purpose of raising a fund, to compensate those Right Rev, persons the Deans of Westminster and St. Paul's, for the fees extorted from honest John Bull, before, he can be permitletl to enter Westminster Abbey or St. Caul's Cathedral. Boxing — The Great Fight between Spring and Langan — This great contest, for the Champion- ship took place on Tuesday, iu a ploughed field about ihree miles south of Chichester, in which a stage, conformably to agreement, was erected for ihe combatants, encircled by waggons, forming an extensive ring; in ad- dition to which several large booths were erected, and within a rope ring was formed between the stage anil waggons, leaving an open space of nearly forty feet. Thousands of persons by different conveyances continued to pour into Chichester during the whole of the precedingday from various parts of the king- dom; hundreds, if not thousands, who had been to Warwick, arrived in the course of the night, and hundreds were left behind who could uot procure conveyances. Spring, ac- companied by Cribb and Painter, arrived at the Swan Inn, on Monday evening about eight o'clock ; and soon afler Langan, accom- panied bv Colonel O'Neil, Belcher, and Mar- iner, reached the Dolphin Inn. Every one who had not seen either of Ihe men, were now by every means iu their power making the attempt to get a peep at those they seemed to rank among the wonders of nature. In this attempt but few were gratified, the men both retiring to rest at an early hour. Oil the fol- lowing morning, both the Heroes took a gentle airing, and each was evidently iu the finest possible order. At a quarter before one, Mr. Jackson, the Commander- in- Chief, walked round the ring, and requested the Gentle- men would keep their places, and also uot call *' foul," or ' fair," but. leave it lo Ihe Umpires — At five minutes before one the men entered the ring, Spring first, with his backers, Cribb and Painter; Langan followed with Belcher, Harmer, and Mr. O'Neil. Langan look off his coal immediately, and Spring followed his example. The umpires and referree were placed at one corner of the stage on a plalfor'ai erected for that purpose; even betting that Spring won it iu one hour, two and three to one on the event. Both men looked well and pleasant at each other. Al this time there could uot be less than 2 » , 000 persons present, Spring'scolotir was blue and Langan's black, and both ensigns were tied to the rail of the stage. Laugan won the toss. He then examined the ' belt, and shook hands with Spring. The Fight.— At six minutes past one the combatants set to ; and after 77 rounds fought in an hour and forty- eight minutes, Spring was declared the victor. Laugan appeared most shockingly scarified. The calls of the ring to take him away, from the 24th to the 7<> lu round, were vehement. He was blind of both eyes, but still refused to yield. A braver man was never seen— Spring, com- paratively was but very slightly hurt; he had suffered most iu his hands, tvhich were much swollen. Sir llcnry Hardinge.— The Durham County Advertiser of Saturday last coutaius the fol- lowing article :— " We have heartl with great satisfaction, of a letter written by hia Royal Highness the Commander in Chief, to oar worthy Representative, Sir H. Hardinge, expressing his Royal Highness's entire and unquali- fied approbation of Ills highly honorable and gentle- manlike condnet in the recent unjustifiable attempt of Mr. Bittier, late a Cornet in the 10th Hussars, to fasten a qu- irrel on him. His ttoval Highness states, that, had Sir II. Hardinge acted otherwise than he did, it would have been in direct disobedience of hisex- piess commands, anil would have incurred his se- rious displeasure; adding, after perusing tne state- ment confirmed liy Colonel Western's signature, it would have lowered the credit of that profession which his distinguished sei vices and gallantry in the field had so eminently upheld, and that by continuing to treat tyith contempt any intrusion oil his attention, he will best consult the credit of the service, and best support a character which is too well established to risk being affected by Ihe failure of any attempt by Mr. Battier, or by any other person disposeti to advo- cate his cause ( if indeed any sueli could be lound after his own exposure oi his conduct) to provoke him to abandon a course which it has been his Royal Highuess's duty to prescribe to him. The letter is dated Horse Guards, 2.5th May, 182V, and signed '' Frederick, Commander in Chief."— VVe have been induced to notice this most highly flattering testi- mony of the meritorious conduct of our gallant member, from an assurance that it will attord infinite satisfaction to every person of honorable feeling and principle; and we sincerely hope, Sir Henry Har- tlinge will ! o g, very long enjoy that confidence his gallantry and approved good conduct so justly merits. Tuesday's Gazette announces that the King has issued a Conge d'Elire to the Dean and Chapter of Chester, to elect a Bishop of that See, void by the translation of the late Bishop thereof to the See of Bath and Wells, and re- commending Dr. Blomfield to be by them elected. It also announces his Majesty's per- mission for Sir G. Nayler to accept and wear Ihe insignia of the Portuguese Order of the Tower and Sword. The Society for Promoting Christian Know- ledge, had its Anniversary Dinner on Tuesday se'nnight, at the Freemasons' Tavern. The Bishop of London took the chair. The Noble Prelate, in proposing success to this Society, remarked on the flourishing state of the Insti- tution, and the utility of its proceedings. In the course of the past year the Society have issued to the members on the terms of the Society, granted gratuitously on special appli- cation, or delivered to members for their gratu- itous distribution :- Bibles, 44,5!) 0; Testaments, 60,275; Prayer Books, 126,4: 31; other bound books, 95,142; small tracts, 811,949; books and papers ( gratuitous), 316,431; total, 1,454,818. Infant Schools.— On Monday a numerous Meeting was held at the Freemasons' lavem, for the purpose of raising an Establishment for the Education of Infants, the Marquisof Laus- down in the Chair, supported by Sir James Mackintosh, Lord Calthorpe, II. Brougham, Esq. M. P. Mr. Wilberforce, Rev. Mr. Irving, Dr. Thorpe, and several other persons of dis- tinction. It appeared from the speech of the Noble Chairman, that the idea of establishing so peculiar an Institution originated with himself and several other Gentlemen, through whose exertions a School for the reception of Infants was formed in Westminster, where the chil dren were instructed, and the happiest results urged them tocxteud the Institution to a wider circle. It was frequently the case, that parents in the lower order of life were called'away from their children, tolabour, and theinfants were left to prowl about the streets, and were too often made the dupes of hardened persons, who to shield themselves, made them the vic- tim* of their own dishonesty. A Central School, where the children could be received on a wider scale, was desirable, and he had no doubt of its meeting with success. Mr Wilberforce, Lord Calthorpe, Mr. Ir. ving, Sir James Mackintosh, and others, spoke in favor of the object, and a handsome sub- scription was made. Fire at Carlton I'alacc.— The greatest fears prevailed on Tuesday night for the safety of this splendid Palace, in consequence of a fire breaking out in tiie sitting- room, adjoining the great hall, and next the crimson chamber. His Majesty, Sir William Knighton, and suite, arrived from Windsor about half past ten o'clock, and in about twenty minutes alter, the servants in the hall were surprised at a peculiar noise that proceeded from the sitting room; however, they took no particular no- tice lilt they heard it again, and then one or two of them opened the door, and a volume of smoke and flame burst forth with alarming rapidity. The whole establishment were im- mediately alarmed, and his Majesty, on hear- ing the cause, went for personal safety to a remote part of the building. Sir William Knighton was one of the first on the spot, and took an active part in endeavouring with the servants to extinguish the fire whilst in its infancy. Messengers were instantly dis- patched for the engines, and shortly those of St.. James's parish arrived at the Palace, and the pipes were conveyed into the interior of the edifice: a good supply of water being ob- tained they were speedily put iu motion, and after great exertions the fire was happily con- fined to the sitting- room, in which the da- mage sustained is extensive and irreparable. The ceiling is entirely consumed, and nothing but the girders are to be seen. Four inestima- ble portraits have been completely spoiled by the heat, the canvas is so blistered that scarce- ly any trace of the portraits are visible. They consist of a beautiful full- length portrait of the late Duke of Cumberland, painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds; another of his Royal High- ness the llukeof Clarence, by the celebrated lloppner; another portrait of Louis XV, and another of the Duke of Orleans: this was supposed to be one of the finest pictures ever executed by Sir Joshua. A half- length portrait of George 11, and a full- length portrait of her late Majesty Queen Caroline, were the only two saved from the devastation. When the loss of the above valuable paintings was made known to his Majesty, he appealed evidently much concerned, as they were highly esteemed by his late revered father. The disaster is supposed to have originated iu ihe following manner:— From the ceiling of the sitting- loom, which has of late years been used as a waiting- room, was suspended superb lustre, and to keep the dust from ap- proaching it, it was enclosed in a large holland bag, which hung below the bottom of the chandelier. Immediately under this bagstood a small table, upon which were placed some lighted candles, and it is therefore beyond doubt the flame issuing Irotn them caught the bag, atitl caused the sail calamity. An Hiberian patrol, with others, was very ardently occupied in conveying buckets of water to the scene of the conflagration.— Several persons were rather iu Pat's way whereupon intent upon the main object of his labours, lie removed the parties civilly, but sufficiently unceremoniously. Amongst these persons was his Majesty, iu his travelling cap and dress, just as he had quitted the carriage Pat knew not the King; but touched his Majesty on the shoulder, at the same time re- marking. " Fait, your Honor, you must get out of the way.'' The King obeyed, and yesterday the anecdote waslhesourcoof much enlertaiumeut at Carlton Palace. Old Bailey New Court Tuesday, before the Recorder and a London Jury).— Ulasphe. mous and Seditious Libels— William Campion ( one of Carlisle's shopmen) was this day in- dicted for publishing, iu May last, a blasphe- mous libel of and concerning that part of the Holv Scriptures called ' The New Testament.' Messrs. Bollaud and Bernard were retained for the prosecution. Thomas Drummond, one of the messengers of Bow street, being called, deposetl that he knows the heuse No. 8, Fleet street, Carlisle's name is over the shop door. Witness went there on the 5th of May, and saw the prisoner iu the shop; asked for Paine's Age of Reason, which prisoner handed him, and for which he paid 4s.; witness asked him if he were to take half a dozen, would lie ( the prisoner) make any reduction in the price; the prisoner re- plied he would reduce it 25 per cent. The Recorder here asked the prisoner had he any questions to put to the witness; he replied in the negative, and then entered upon his defence, which he read from a closely written book containing about twenty or thirty sheets, the object of which being merely an attempt lo defend the principles of faille's works, we feel that we could not perform our duty to our readers, and lo the public iu general, otherwise than by suppressing alto- gether the report of this most blasphemous and seditious attack on the Holy Scriptures. Twice was this unfortunate young man inter- rupted by the Recorder, who sincerely hoped he would uot persist in acourse which he must perceive was extremely offensive to the ears of every person in Court, and more especially to the jury who had long since expressed their desire that he might be prevented reading any more of this blasphemous manuscript. The Recorder, however, explained to them the delicate situation in which they were placed', the consideration of which should overcome any disgust they felt for the abo- minable principles of which Ihe prisoner was such a zealous, though deluded, defender. The Jury acquiesced and heard him to the end with great patience; when the prisoner having stated thai he had no witnesses to call, the Recorder proceeded to sum up the evi- dence, commenting upon the defence which the prisoner had made, and concluded by citing many cases as direct contradictions to the statement of the prisoner, namely, " that bis was nooffence against the laws of the land." The Jury retired at a quarter before one o'clock, and at a quarter past, two o'clock returned a verdict of Guilty. Being called up for judgment, the Recorder sentenced litui to three years' imprisonment in the gaol of Newgate, and to find securily in £ lOil for future good conduct. It is a curious coincidence that Paine died this day fifteen years, expressing his regret that he had ever promulgated his destructive principles. Sheriff's Court, Dublin, June 3.— Moore v. F tzgibbon.— The Defendant in this case having allowed judgment to go by defanlt, it came this day before the Assessor and a most re- spectable Jury, to assess the damages Mr. llowel Walsh opened the pleadings, and Mr. Solicitor- General stated the case. He commented ably upon the different facts, which were afterwards substantiated by evi- dence. The first witness, William Moore, Esq. was exniincd by Mr. G. Bennett, K. C. He deposed to having procured a copy of the en- try of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Moore, from the Registry at Enfield, which took place the 26th of March, 1814; he further deposed to the state of happiness they mutually enjoyed till the year 1820, at which period he perceived a change in her manner towards her husband. In September, 1823, she eloped from her house. Mr. Baron Pennefather stated that he was the person who first communicated to Mr. Moore the elopement of his wife. The effect was similar to that of a pislol shot— he fell in- sensible to the ground. He had him removed to his bedchamber, and while iu that state, Mr. Baron Pennefather took the precaution to remove his fire arms, which at that time hap- pened to be in the room, and other dangerous weapons. Mr. Moore in a short time worked in strong convulsions, and after a time made a desperate effort to raise himself, and rushed towards the spot where his pistols were usu- ally deposited ; he demanded who had taken away his arms ; he appeared iu a deranged slate. Margaret Mooney deposed to having accom- panied Mrs. Moore from her own home to Howth, where she was met by Colonel Fitz- gibbon, who proceeded with them to Dijon, in France, where they lived as man and wife; there the witness left them. Captain Skinner's evidence went to corro- borate part of the last witness's testimony. Mr. Ashley proved that the value of the situation of Usher to the Court of Chancery was £ 2,000 a year. Defendant's Counsel ad- mitted that Colonel Fitzgibbon ( who is brother to the Earl of Clare) held that place. Mr Stafford, of the Bank of Ireland, proved that, to the best of his recollection, Colonel Fitzgibbon had in the 3J per Cents, to the amount of £ 28,400. Mr. Johnston addressed the Court in mitiga- tion of damages. The Assessor charged the Jury ; who retired for a short time, and found a verdict for the Plaintiff— Damages .£ 6,000. Spinning Match.— At Gal way, on Wednes- day week, in the gardens, at West house, the seat of the Port Collector, there was a trial of skill in the art of spinning by several young women; and premiums, consisting of u new wheel, a handsome gown, a reel, he. were to be given to the most deserving. About 30 competitors started, each seated under a tree in the shrubbery, and dressed in her holiday clothes. By asigual bell they commenced their work at two o'clock, each being previously furnished with an exact half- pound of flax, which she was to convert into the greatest quantity of good and well- spun yarn in the shortest space of time, aud most nearly equal in grist, & c. to a pattern of two hanks of yarn exhibited to them be- fore starting. The result of the contest was, that Kitty O'Neil, a native of Newry, but of late a resident in Galway, got the tirst pre- mium, having spun her full half- pound hank nearest to the pattern, in four hours and thir- teen minutes. The next best spun 8J cuts in the above time, and the others followed ill a near progression. Elopement Extraordinary.— The Westmorland Gazette says—" On Wednesday lastasprightly lad of 75 eloped from the sweet and peaceful vale of Grasmere with a blooming and blush- ing maid of 25. So anxious was the ardent lover for the success of his hymeneal expedi- tion, that ill spite of rheumatism, catarrh, and the other ills which ' flesh is heir to,' lie actu- ally walked to Ambleside ( no little feat for a bridegroom of his years), and ordered a chaise to be ready when called for. He then re- turned to his fair intended rib, who kindly ac- companied him back on his legs of love to Am- bleside, where a friend was prevailed on to accompany the loving fugitives to Ihe matri- monial anvil at Gretna Green A chaise aud four having been obtained, the joyous trio set off for . Scotland as fast as the wheels of love could carry them, amid the congratulations of hundreds of admiring spectators. ' The course of true love never runs smooth ;' but theirs has been more than usually rough. Perhaps few people have encountered more disappoint- ments than these two have In their endeavours to be made one. The banns of marriage were forbidden ou the second publication by the trustees of the young man s property. Then every obstacle was thrown in the way of the lovers' happiness which the glorious uncer- tainty of the law could invent. The banns were again published, but no clergyman coutd be found to tie the knot; aud the happy con- summation was delayed from day to day, till the patience of IheGrasmereStrephon was com- pletely exhausted, and he resolved upon the perilous expedient of a journey to Gretna Green. At Annan, however, we believe the happy couple were joined in one till death them shall part; and they have returned to their friends safe, cheerful, and married." A Mechanic at Easingwold, has invented a piece of machinery for preventing burglary. It is a statue which ou a thief entering the door or window of any house, fires a gun or pistol, and also rings an alarm bell. For The Northampton Mercury], ON A MOTH SCORCHED BY A CANDLE. HOLD, daring insect 1— fluttering tiling forbear, What!— wouidst thou rush into a Hauling sea ? Learn, dauntless venturer, ' tis a wily snare Of Tyrant Death,— to put an end to thee.

Mr. Hume described the unlimited duration of the service as an evil, and the low rate of wages, as another griev- ance. The system of punishment on board our ships of war he characterised as worse than that of the slave owners in the West Indies. The seamen, he said, was also un- fairly dealt with in the distribution of prize money. The Honorable Member, after en- larging on these and other topics connected with thequestion, at some length, concluded by moving a resolution, pledging the House to take the subject into consideration early in the nextSession, with a view to such regu- lations as may obviate the evils arising from the impressment of seamen, consistent with the efficiency of the navy and the interests of the country. The motion was opposed by Sir George Cockburn. Mr. Hume's motion, after a protracted discussion, was lost, on a division, by a majority of 70, the numbers being, for the motion 38, against it, 108. On Tuesday, Pears, a notoriously had character, was apprehended at Romsey, charged with stealing a quantity of brass chandeliers belonging to the Abbey Chapel in that town. When brought before the Magistratesaspectacle was presented, which has seldom been equalled. The Mayor on the bench was the prisoner's own uncle: the solicitor employed against him, was nearly related to him, and of the crowd assembled to hear the proceedings, there were few, who were not intimately connected with him or his friends, or who had not known him from childhood 1 He was some years since con- cerned in a robbery, for which he yvas sen- tenced to transportation for life, but which sentence by powerful intercession, was com- muted to five years imprisonment.

New Discovert/ between Port Jackson and Tor- res Straits, Extract of a letter from Captain Sumner, of the Avon, dated Sept. 17:—" At five half p. m. saw a range of breakers and coral reefs from the mast head, extending from S. W. toN. W. as far as the eye could discern, with ati islet or rock to the N. E. Hauled on a wind to the S. S. W. Two islands resembling sand- banks, with trees, were seen beftring S. YV, by S.; stood on towards them until the coral bottom was discovered under us, when we tacked to the E N. E. soundings in stays two casts 18 fathoms.— Sent the gig to explore the islands, distance off them four miles, and » tood off and on unlit her return. Her report was, that reefs extended from both islands iu an E. S. E. direction, that tbey are otherwise steep to approach. Not finding a good landing on the northward, they pulled to thesoutliward— soundings between them 20 fathoms and not less than nine. Landing on the N. E side of the island, found it covered willi various sea- birds, many sitting on their ejfgs in the sand, and others in the shrubs. At five, saw a range of breakers from the mast- head, bearing S. E. distance off thetn supposed eight or ten miles, with an apparent clear sea between them and the islands. Bore up to the W. S. W. At sun- set no soundings and a clear sea a- head ; resumed our course to the W. N. W. The Avon's Islands may be made and passed to the southward within two miles, or less, if preferred. In case of emergency. I should not hesitate, with a commanding breeze, to run between them be- fore noon, as the coral bottom may be dis- tinctly seen in eight fathoms."

Mr. Hume brought forward his motion on the Impressment of Seamen last night, and introduced it by a speech of considerable length. The system of impressment, the Hon.

Our Market square seems a tempting spot for such au ornament, which would likeni. se prove a great convenience to tiic market stalls,- during Ihe dark evenings of winter. ( fur limits will not allow us to enlarge on this pleasant subject, but we rhust not omit to stale that the lighting of the Town, both in the streets and windows, which took place according to promise, on Wednesday evening, was in perfect consistency yvitli the work at large, and proved ' a source of high gratification to the populace, who pnrailed the streets in all directions to the latest hour of Ihe night. On Sunday last two sermons were preached by the Rev. C. Gloyne, of this place, ut Ampthill, Bedfordshire, for the benefit of the Wesleyan Sunday School there. The collection amounted to upwards of eight pounds. After the services many of the children answered, with great propriety, se- veral questions put to them relative to the nature and effects of vital Christianity, which gave general satisfaction to the audience. At the Warwick races, in September next, no less than 37 horses are named to run for thtf Leamington Stakes.

A case of importance to extra parochial Pa- rishes! - Si. Nicholas, Leicester, Appellants, <* r, d All Saints, Derbyf Respondents. — This was a case of appeal at the last Epiphany Sessions for Derbyshire, when the Court confirmed the order subject to I he opinion of the Court of King's Bench, upon a special case, which was argued last week in the Court of King's Bench, by Mr. Nolan, for the Appellants, and . VIr. Clarke, jun. for the Respondents, when tho Court quashed Ihe orders, deciding it in farof of St. Nicholas. The question arose upon the removal of au illegitimate child horn iu the Blackfriars, Leicester ( an extra parochial place!, to the settlement of its mother; and Ihe effect of the decision is to establish, that illegitimate children born iu extra- parochial places are irremovable to the settlement of their mothers, and consequently ( having no settlement of their own), must be maintained as casual poor by ihe parishes in which they may happen from time to time to be resident. On Friday the 21st nit. ati Inquisition was taken before Thomas Times, gent, coroner for the county of Bedford, at Oakley, on view of the body of a female child, born on the Wed-- ncsday preceding, and which was suspected by the parish officers to have perished through the negligence and inattention of Ihe father, William Brown, in not calling in proper as- sistance upon the birth of the child. How- ever, it appeared that no blame could be at- tached to him, he having used his best en- deavours in going to an adjoining village tor at midwife, during which time his wife was de- livered of the child, which upon the arrival of the midwife was found to be dead.— Verdict accordingly. On the next day, an Inquisition was taken before the same coroner, at Roxton, on view of the body of John Pitts, a lad employed in the navigation of coal barges upon the river iiiize, who ou the Thursday preceding, slipped with his horse from the towing path into the river, and could not be extricated from the water until life was extinct.— Verdict— AccU dentally drowned Ou Wednesday last, an Inquisition was taken before the same coroner, at Goldingtou, on view of the botly of William Hull, aged 19 years, who, ou the Monday preceding, was drowned in the river Ou/. e, by the sinking of of a bout in which he was standing. It ap- pears that he yvas imprudently swaying the boat about from side to side, which occasioned it, to fill with water and sink atone end, when the deceased fell backwards into the river. The deceased was taken out in the course of about feu minutes, and means were used to restore animation, but without effect.- V< i- I diet as in the preceding case. After much less than the usual period of such extensive operations, we have now to re- cord with unmixed pleasure, the completion of our gas works, the lighting of our town iu a tasteful and liberal manner, and in short, the entire realization of all the fair prospect* which the pecuniary resources of lite com- pany, the zealous attention of the committee, and above all, the truly excellent qualifications of their engineer had collectively held out lo the public. We may safely and energetically prououuce that no one declaration of the cer- tain and happy results of the great under- taking has failed. With a view to the re- moval of unfounded prejudices, arising solely from the want of correct information, Mr. Bradley consented to deliver the lecture oi Monday evening last, which was heard With great attention, and operated strongly in fa- vor of the Lecturer's views of the superior advantage of gas illumination. The flood of radiance which was poured upon us from a va riety of burners clearly evinced the excellence and purity of the gas, which was further de- monstrated by approved chemical lests,— Whether it may be attributed to the steadi- ness or peculiar colour of gas flame, its effect upon the eves, even in its most concentrated state, is rather graleful than distressing, mid it possesses in that respect a decided ad- vantage over caudle and lamp light for many essential operations in the arts of life. Eigh teen mould candles of six in the pound, were compared withasingleArgandburner, decididly lo the advantage of the latter; and judging as well as we could do from the general ap- plauses of the audience and thu appearance of unanimous approbation oil the countenances of individuals, we think ourselves warranted to conclude that the effect of the Lecture has been decisive and salutary upon the minds of those who had sullered from unreasonable ap- prehensions of injury either to Ihe persons or the commercial interests of the inhabitants of the town. From the fulness of the attendance ou Ihe lecture, and the number of lights exhibited, the heat was of course considerable, but not the least odour of the gas was perceived, and we are much mistaken if the same quantity of light could possibly have been produced by candles or oil without uiost opprttsive and disgusting exhalations from those materials. It may prove satisfactory to our candid readers if we state on the authority oi a Gen- tleman of considerable reputation for chemical scieifce, that the G; ts while burning is entirely free from any oduvir or vapour peculiar to itself, and at the Moment of extinction, the escape of the unburnt air is prevented by the construction of the turners. lu conformity with his general plan and purpose of blending the agreeable with the Cambridge, June 11. — The Chancellor'^ gold medal for the best English poem by resident undergraduate, was on Friday last adjudged to Winthrop Mackworth Praed, scholar of Trinity college.

These Versus were written by Lord Byron when the Courftess was at Ravenna, aud ho was travelling down the Po to join her:— • TO THE PO.— Jtme, 1819. KIVP. R, that rollcst by the ancient walls Where dwells the lady of my love; when she Walks by thy brink and there perchance recalls A faint anil fleeting memory of me;— t^ battf thy deep and ample stream should be A mirror of my heart; where she may read The thousand thoughts I now betray to thee, Wild as thy wave, and headlong as thy speed. What do 1 say? " A mirror of my heart!" Are not thy waters sweeping, dark, and strong? Such as my feelings were and are, thon art, And such as thou art were my passions long. Timo may have somewhat tamed them ; not for ever Thou overfiowest thy banks; anrl not for aye Tbv bosom overboils : congenial river, Thy floods subside— and mine have sunk awayl But left long wrecks behind us, and again. Borne on our old unchanged career we move: The i tendest wildly to tiie main, ^- nd I to loving one [ rshould not love. ' fii^ current I behold will sweep beneath Her native walls, and murmur at her feet; Her eyes will lo ik on thee, when she shall breathe The twilight air, unchain'd from Summer's heat. She will look on thee: i have look'd on thee, Fall orfoat thought?, and from that moment ne'er - Thy waters could I name— ne'er name or see, Without the inseparable sigh for her. Her bright eyes will be imaged on thy stream— Yes, they will meet the wave I gaze on now; But mine cannot witness, even in a drcim, That happy wave repass me in its flow. The wave that bears my tear returns no more, Will she return, by whom that tear shall sweep ? Both tread thy bank, both wander on thy shore, I uear the source, she by the dark blue deep. But that which keepcth us apart, is not . Distance, nor depth of wave, nor space of earth, But. the distractions of a various lot,— Ah, various as the climates of our birth. A stranger loves a lady of the land, Born far beyond the mountains, but his blood Is all meridian, - as if never fann'd By the black wind that chills the Polar flood. My blood is all meridian: were it not I had not left my clime : I should not be, Jn spite of torture ne'er to he forgot, A slave again of love— at least of thee. " IV vain to struggle: let me perish young, Live as 1 lived, love as I have loved : To dust if I return from dust I sprung, And then at least my heart cannot be moved. HOUSE OK LORDS, Friday, Juno 4.

HOUSE of COMMONS, Friday, June 4. Slavery. Mr. ' Spring Rice presented a Petition from the inhabitant of Dublin, praying for the gradual Abolition of Slavery. Similar Petitions were presented from Xenkin, Castle Cromer, Melbourne, and Aylesbury.— Or- dered to be printed. Test and Corporation Jets. Mr. Hume presented a Petition from the Pro- testant Dissenters of Chichester, praying for the tppeul of the Test and Corporation Acts. i\ lr. ./. Smith said that those were ihe most absurd Acts of Pailiainent that were ever pa- sed, ia this or any other country. He would bring ihe whole subject ui- der ihe view of the House in some future Session of Parliament. Sir J, Se! Cpi) 11 also spoke against ( he acts. Mr. fV. Smith said that he should have a similar Petition lo present from the Dissenters of Eng- land,, in a fe. w d; t) S. Mr. Bright was gl id that this quetinn was shortly to eouie befoie Parliament. Lord J. Russell said it . was disgraceful that the Dissenters, ulio were so well behaved a body should be . subject to the provision? of these Acts.— The Petition was read and ordered lo be primed. Mr. Hume presented a Petition from ' certain Seamen, Lightermen, and others, against impress- ment. He should call the attention of the House to the subject at the end of the Session. He would only therefore say at . present that it was a subject of the highe. t importance, and that he nas con- vinced the Government could abolish or greatly modify impressment. Sir I. Coffin observed, that the Navy must be manned one way or another. They were the out- posts itf the nation, and if not puf forward, or if driven in, the country would be in danger. He had been ftl't> years. in the service, and in his early days his head had been sliced like a Cheshire cheese in the impressment of sailors s but there was no help for ii. tie knew tliat the seamen preferred im- pressment to being all enrolled.— The Petition was then read, and ordered to he printed. Transportation Hill. Mr. Secretary Pee/, in muting that ihis Bill he committed, stated iha. t it was to continue a Bill which expired atthe end of the Session. Amongst ritner ttiingi. it was to dispense w ith the necessity on ilie pail uf the Crown lo name the place of traus- portalion upon every ship that went out. This Bill would enable his Majesty In do ibis generally, by making it transportation to New South Wales. It was al- o designed to tnake the Clerk of Ar- raigns of each county responsible for ihe transpor- tation of cunvicts. In the new regulations of New South Wales, he ought lo slate, a po « er of distin- guishing between ihe different offenders sent out would be exercised. He had often spoken of ihe inequality of the punishment of transportation with- out this power, and that would now he remedied. Mr. Scarlett objected to any alteration » f the punishment, after sentence, as illegal. There could he no discretion exercised upon that sentence iu the way of aggravation. Mr. Secretary Peel said, that no new principle was involved in this Bill. The sentence of the Court was generally transportation, and ilremnined for the Executive to natne the place. With regard to the regulations for distinguishing between diffe- rent convicts, that was a prerogative of the Crown, • placed in such hands as the Crow n thought proper. It would certainly tie a great aggravation of the scntenca < f the Court, if such a man as Connolly, or forgers to a large amount, whose habits were probably mote elevated than the generality of convicts, should be classed with ihe lowest offend- ers. The whole of this was, however, mete mat- ter of regulation, not proceeding from any new principle whatever. Mr. Scarlett explained. Mr. Wilinot llorton hoped il w . tuld be under* itnod distinctly that the newr regulations of New South Wales weet to iuciease the hardships of transportation. Hitherto it had been rather no ndueemeiil to crime from the easy life led by th- convicts. This, however, would be henceforth different ; convicts would be sraliered about the agriculiural districts, instead of enjoying the plea- sures of society. There was a place also called Norfolk Island, where the worst characters would be stnt, and it here the punlshmeut tvould be in- creased. Mr. Gipps considered the new regulations as highly proper. After a few words from Mr. Alderman Wood, Mr. Secretary Pee!, and Lord Stanley, the House went into a Committee. The Bill was gone ihroujh j and after a few tvurdi from Mr. Secretary Peel the House resumed, a d the Report was ordered lo be received to- morrow. Acto Churches. The Chancellor of the Exchequer moved Ihe Or- der of the Day for receiving the Report on this Bill Colonel Davits opposed the nioiiuo, and was sup- ported hv Mr. Lester. Mr. It Cooper supported the Bill, expressing hi « regret thai it had been opposed as il had. Mr. Hume renewed his opposition lo the Bill, and repealed bis op; nion thai it proposed a very profligate grant, lie thought the Cl'Tf.}' were al- ready over paid ; ar. d he thought, too, that tliev were less useful in proportion lo the increased means placed at their disposal. The Bill was par- ticularly unju- t, inasmuch as it proposed to tax those w ho disserjed from the Established Church, in nrdcr to build places of worship to which they would not resort. This was taxing the many for the advantage of the few. The money, however, to be raided by the tax, would not do any good to Ibe Established Religion, though it might increase Ihe patronage of Government. It had been ob- served by an able Writer, lhal Ihe best support of a Government was to be found in < 1 servile Priest- hood. Wli ' iher the Clergy of this country were as servile as tho- e mentioned by the Author to whom he h id alluded or not, they were at least dependant on the Government, Mr. H. Cooper ex plained. Mr. C. Wilson supported the Bill. In answer to a question front Mr. H. Gurney, The Chancellor of the Exchequer said it was pro- posed to di- trihme ihe money under this gram ex- actly in the way in which the former grant was disposed of. Sir ./. Newport thought this course was very ob- jectionable, us it rendered each additional Church a burthen upon the Dissenters of the parish. The subject otighi to he left In private contributions was the rase with schools ill Ireland. Mr. V. FilsgeraUl spoke shortly in favor of tho Bill; and Mr. Gratton, as was understood, against it. Mr. Phillips opposed the Bill, contending that the demand for new Churches by the people Itrtd nol been dissati. factorily shown. In Manchester there were more Churches thnn were necessary. He thought it disgraceful to the country that reli- gions liberty should flourish more in France than in England. Mr. Monck also opposed the Bill. He cared liltle for the Bill itself, but was sorry to mark tile position whirh the Church iiself occupied al Ihe present moment, and s>* ry to see that half the Churches already built were nothing like full. He did n a I wish to diminish the funds of ( he Church, but thought it would he right lo appoint additional Curates, and take the sums accessary to rover their stipends from the funds already provided, lie thought that at all events there was no occasion for the immediate passing of the Bill, and be there- fore hoped the measure would be postponed at least till a future Session. Sir I. Coffin expressed a hope that the House wnuld go on and have the Churches. The House then divided— For the Motion, 42; For the Amendment, 9 ; Majority, 33. The Itepmt was then brought up and agreed to and Ihe Bill ordered to be engrossed, and read a third time on Thursday. On the motion of Mr. Secretary Peel, the Counly Gaols Bill was read a third time and passed. On the report of the Qualification of Jurors Bill being taken into consideration, Mr. Wes( ernaddres » cd Ihe House at some length in explanation anil in defence of the provisions of the Bill. He proposed to move the further cousi deration of the report for Monday se'nnight, but i it should be objected to by the House, he would not press the measure in Ihe present Session. Mr. Cripps thought the measure was one calcu lated to give the greatest benefit upon the country After a few words from Sir E. Knatchhull aud Alderman Wood, the motion was agreed lo. The Masters and Workmen Bill went through a Committee, and some verbal amendments were made. The Report was received, and the Bill ordered to be read a third lime to- morrow. The Horse.' Slaughtering Bill went through . Committee pro forma. Mr. It. Martin stated to the Committee that he had visited the slaughtering hosi. es, and found horses were kept there for ten days without food He gave the fellows who were with litem a few shillings to get the poor animals some hay, and when il was hrongbt they ran to il like a kenn « l n" hounds who had been kepi without food for foil days. The man then observed that he had muc better give the money lo him than lo the horses and swore that if he did not, he would go and trample on the hay. He was absolutely obliged to compromise with the fellow by giving him two shillings. But lie had his revenge, for he tent 200 letters lo Ihe man from different quarters, desiring him to feich dead horses where none were to be had.—(< 1 laugh). The Report was ordered lo be received on Wed- nesday next. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and Ihe Hou. g adjourned at Half- past Ten o'clock till tu- morrow. Sunday and Tuesday's Host— continued from first Page. A bronze statue of the late Mr. Pitt is about to be erected in theceiitre of Hanover- square. Untitling nf Cliiirclitii anil Chapels.— Oil Wed- nesday I lie Annual General Meeting of this In- stitution was held at tlie Freemasotn' Tavern, wlten a most numerous » rid respectable Com- pany attended, among whom were noticed— II is Grace ihe Archbishop of Canterbury, Arch- hi. hop of York, Bishop of London, Bishop of Worcester, Bishop of Oxford, Lord Kenton, Arch- deacon of Cambridge, Joshua Walson, E- q. Dean and Chapter of Westmin- ter, Dean and Chapter of Exeter, W. Cotton, Esq. the Hon. Mr. Justice l'ark, the Rev. N. N. Edwards, the Rev. E. Row- den, George Bramwell, Esq. the Dean of lily, J. Pep) s, Esq. and various other persons of distinct ion. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury was called to the Chair at one o'clock, on which be sug- gested that the Report be read. The Rev. Dr. Barren read the Report, which staled, that during the last year, 182 triplications had been received for assistance, some of which are still under ihe consideration of the Committee, and grants have beep made in 82 cases atnauu'ing lo £ IS, 755, and by the aid of lhal sum additional ac- commodation will be obtained for 17,630 persons. The number of free and unappropriated sittings will he 13,088. The whole number of applications made since Hie Establishment of the Societ) is 556; that 316 grants hate been made ; that in 36 cast's, in consequence of offers of increased accommoda- tion, ihe original sums voted have been increased ; and that the total uf grant.' amounts to =£ 76, SSO, but that 21 grams, amounting to <£ 4,955 have, from different causes, been relinquished, aud that in five instances lite works have been completed without claiming ihe sums » liich have been soled, amount- ing to i£ 530. Tiie lotal amount of grants is ^£ 71,395. Al Beddrngtnu, Kingsbury, Cirencester, and Soulhend, increased accommodation was ef- fected, and the grants rated by the Society were not claimed hy the parties, having found their own resources adequate to the work, leaving the grants to lie appropriated lo more urgent purposes. The Society has leal iis aid towards producing addi- tional accommodations for fifty, forty, or thirl) live persons, w here only Ihatnum'er was required; and contributed to provide church rooin for much greater numbers at Bath, Wrexham, Walsall, Coventry, and nther places ; and by the grants whicli have been made, additional accommodation will be provided for 92,655 persons; and that of this number llie free and unappropriated sittings amount to 69,295; but siill there were thousands and lens of thousands for whom church accom- modation remains yet to he provided, and the Society, lo continue their wiiik, must depend en- tirely on ilie public. The whole Amount of lite donations received, and which has been invested in ihe public funds, is =£ 61,209. 19s. tOd. and thru of annual subscriptions, :£ S00. The amount of money actually paid, and of grnnir, ihe payment of w hicli Ihe Society have plsdgcd themselves, is =£ 71,891, aud the disposable balance ut pre- ent is reduced to a sum less than ihe expenditure of last jear In one half. The number of free anil unappropriated sittings t. iill be 69,295, wiiere the poor may have ihe Gospel preached to them. The annual state-, ment front March 31, 1V23, to 1824, of donations subscript it. ns received, to dividends on stock in pub- lic Fluids, to sale of consolidated 3 per cent, an- nuities, Its sale of 3 per cent, ditto, and lo sale of furniture, amounts lo £ 34,1.13. 7s. 9d. and by grants paid ; by charge anil disburseoients, & c amounts to the same sum. llis Grace, the Archbishop of Canterbury rose to propose a Resolution, that the Report be primed and distributed. The Resolution was seconded, and unanimously carried. T.' iac. ks were voted to the Chairman, who re- turaed thank i, and a mod munificent subscription was made b\ I He company, amounting to upwards uf <£ 2,090." The Norwich Paper says, " Sis Officers of the 8th Hussars pulled in Capt. Cartwright's six- oared boat, down to Yarmouth, on Fri- " uy last, against the tide, in four hours, aud returned in four and a half, having the stream strong against them. The distance was 70 miles, A circumstance almost amounting tt> a phenomenon occurred on Sunday afternoon n the neighbourhood of the metropolis. A thick fog, having the appearance of a dense cloud, spread most suddenly over the coun- try, and appeared to travel at a rapid pace. Persons who were on different roads became alarmed, and men, women, and children, were seen running towards their houses, with evident symptoms of fear in their countenan- ces. Coachmen also began to wish themselves safe at their journey's end. Re/ ait Beer Bill.— The followingare the ob- servations of Mr. Cobbett on the Retail Beer Bill, in a letter to Aid. Wood :— The public- ho uses are ( says Mr. C.) in general, the iropertyof big brewers, who compel the people that ceep the houses to sell the beer of those big brewers and no other beer! What a monstrous system ! What an oppressive monopoly ! and yet, strange to say, you speak in defence of it. You tell us, that there are forty- Jour thousand public- bouses in the kingdom, nd that twenty- two thousand of these brew their own beer. Thus say you, " one liaLJ of the supposed mono- poly ends at once." Now, Sir, T wish I could believe, that you did not perceive the fallacy of this statement I wili suppose that one- half of the houses brew their own beer. But what sort of houses are those ? Why, little houses in the country, 50 of which do not draw so much as one single house belonging to Hanbury, Buxton & Co. or any other of the. pious saints, who serve out that very dark- looking stuff, called porter, to the sinners of this and other great towns. Let us see what Mr. Robinson's bill will tlo for us. It will do this t enable a brewer to sell by retail. He its to pay a little more duty upon his beer for permis- sion to sell retail. But the bill does not require him to have a Justice of the Peacc license to his house ; he is in no danger of having his trade taken away by Magistrates ; in short, is like another big brewer, only he cats seflby retail; he can sell any man a pot of beer as well as a publican can; and, having no publican's license to pay for, not being subject to have his trade put an end to by tka caprice of Jus- tices of the peace— not having to pay any of that high rent which is occasioned by his house being licensed — being able to serve 50 times as many persons as a publican can— and it not being necessary for him and his family to waste their time in waiting upon and humouring a parcelof sots— friefromallthecharges, losses, and annoyances, be C3n sell as good beer for four- pence a pot as the licensed and lazy publican can sell for sixpence a pot. But there is this difference between him and the licensed publican. The latter may sell his beer to those ( which he chiefly does indeed) who drink it in his house. Those who sit and sot, and soak and sleep, and who deserved to he kicked iuto the street; wretches who steal away from their families to cuzzle down, in a public- house, that which they ought to enjoy, if at all, with those families. The licensed publican's trade is carried on in this way : but the reruil brewer is not to sell beer tobe drank upon hispreniists. The lanouring man can get from him for 4d. or less that which he must give the licensed publican 6d. for. But he must take it away— he must not drink it in the brewer's house or premises— he must take it home; and pray, Sir, is not this a wise measure ? Aquatic Pugilism.— A fighliitg exhibition took place at Ihe Swing bridge, Lincoln, on Mon- day night. George Thacker, a neat- made amphi- bious biped, and Abraham Siorr, a tail glpsy- lonking navigator, both of them ( o appearance well cupped, had a row on the edge of the river William. As ( heir profession made it immaterial whether they fought on terra firma, or in their equally natural element the water, a contest took place in ihe river. The antagonists, after sparring ali. ttle on land, quickly struggled into the water, and both being very capital swimmers, a scientific set- to commenced.: Round 1. George mancenvred on his back. Abraham swatn on his belly ; and when the latter approached, George gave formidable lunges on Ihe defensive wilh his legs. A hit was at last planted on George's left shoulder, which he repaid, by adroitly diving a blow at his antagonist's bread room ; a grapple took place, and both disappeared fur a second under water, and rose a few yards asunder to take breath. B. The water was very deep, and no remission of the exertion of swimming could be allowed, therefore a few minutes floating ensued to lake breath. George at length squared towards his foe, and ihey swam at each other with all the iuipetu* they could derive from streuglh, skill, and deter- mination. A very spirited wrest ling iu deep water, wilh several mutual blows, Bent them again to the bottom, and separated them for the next round. 3, No time allowed by Abraham, who dashed and splashed at his opponent and bored hiin beneath him, menacing his destruction by drowning. But Georgesucceeded in dragging him under water also, aud both men arose very much distressed, having swallowed a deal of slush.— Both gasping. 4. George was again attacked by his more roomy opponent, whose size gave most power in the water. George, though an admirable sw immer, in vain struggled to sink himself und his antagonist, and was so much overpowered that lie became nearly Insensible. A man jumped into the river asd rescued him from drowning, and both men were scarcely able to get safe on shore. li was some moments before Thacker recovered, and being pri- ud of his familiarity with the water, he showed deep mortification at being foiled by his clum. y opponent ; he shortly again took the river, and challenged Siorr, who, however, very pru- dently, was prevented- from the contest, as ill blood was very strongly manife- ted on both sides. Both men, in this exiraoidinary fi^ ht, were enrumbered wit| their garments, which, though light, were a great hindrance lo their exertions. A moil dreadful Occurrence on Epsom Dom^ s. — On Friday, after the races had terminated, a large ring was formed iu the hollow for a fight, between two of the members of the P C. and was flanked by numerous horse- men, carriages, waggons, and other vehicles. It was then agreed that the tight should take place on the course opposite the Derby Stand, arid as soon as the intention was known the ring was broken up, and equestrians and pedestrians were seen quickly moving en masse towards the placeappointed for the rencontre. The only entrance for horsemen aud those in carriages was at the top of the course, near the rubbing- house and this was blockaded by a large chain extending completely across and guarded by constables.— When the cavalcade arrived at this spot, finding their progress was intercepted, they instantly forced down the chain, and upwards of 500 horsemen, besides carts, waggons, & e. gal- lopped indiscriminately down the course; the scene occasioned by this shameful out- rage, was truly frightful; many persons were knocked down and trampled on by the horses; one lady had her jaw broke by a horse treading on her, a countryman received a severe fracture of his arm, and a boy was so dreadfully injured that his life is despaired of. A coachman residing near Kew Bridge was so dreadfully kicked by a horse, that lie was " completely stove in." He was con- veyed instantly to the Magpie, in Epsom, where he died in about an hour after. A groom residing at Banstead was thrown from his horse, in consequence of a cart running foul of him ; the shaft of the cart entered the horse's chest, and the animal died almost instantly; the rider had his scull fractured, and now lies without hope of recovery. About nine o'clock in the evening, a IVobleman drove down the road four- in- hand in full gallop, and when on this side of Ewell, many persons who were proceeding along in chaises, to avoid his Lordship, pulled up to let him pass, a spirited animal iu a gig began to plunge at the noise, aud threw a lady and gentleman out backwards, but fortunately they were but slightly bruised. Several pickpockets, detected at Epsom races, were brought to Bow street, on Satur- day. They were first carried before some of the Magistrates of the neighbourhood, who directed the patrole to convey the whole to Bow street, after the races. Sir R. Birnie and Messrs. Hall and Minshull, who were on the bench, said they were much obliged to the Epsom Magistrates for this proof of their consideration, and remarked, that some gen- tlemen seemed anxious to get into the Com- mission of the Peace merely that they might enjoy the name of Magistrate, without at- tending to the duties of one. The prisoners were held to bail or remanded. Barbarous Act.— Yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock, an inquest was held at the Lon- don Hospital, before J. W. Uuwin, Esq on the body of a middle- aged man, named Wm. Hewitt*, who died in consequence of his left eye having been violently thrust out.— It ap- peared from the testimony of four persons, named Anderton, Webb, Travers, and Mur- ray, that about twelve o'clock on the night of the 24th May last, the deceased man and a coal porter, named Andrew Dove, were sitting in the tap of the Rainbow, London street, Ratcliffe Highway, when a quarrel arose about a pot of beer, which, as alleged, was won by Dove at the game of dominos, which the deceased refused to pay, and struck Dove several times. After this they went into a public house, known by the name of the Queen's Head, and there the quarrel was renewed and continued, when they got into the street, and Dove in an infuriated state exclaimed with an oath, " I will punch out your eye," and suiting the action to the word, raised his right arm, and forced the end of a tobacco pipe into his ( the deceased's) eye; the deceased staggered, and in the most ex- cruciating torture said, " he has knocked out my eye." Dove was then secured and lodged in the watch- house, and the deceased was taken to the hospital, where he lingered until Saturday, and then expired. — The opinion of Mr. Day, the House Surgeon, being, that an inflammation of the eye, which was much lacerated, commenced, and extending to the brain, caused his death. The Jury were of the same opinion, and re- turned a verdict of Manslaughter. Execution of John Campbell ( From the Stir- ling Journal)— On Friday last, this unfortu- nate man forfeited his life. On Monday he was visited by his father, two brothers, and three sisters. About one o'clock the execu- tioner entered his cell to pinion his arms, •. vhen Campbell shrunk at the sight, his coun- tenance depicting extreme horror. He, how- ever, gradually recovered himself, and qui- etly permitted the executioner to proceed with his duty. At half- past two he walked with rather a quick step to the platform erected in front of the Court- house— his head down, and to appearance somewhat confused. After standing a few seconds he looked round among the crowd, the sight of which seemed to abstract his mind from more solemn thoughts. All being now ready, the knees of the prisoner began to tremble, and the fa- tal signal was placed in his hand. Fie aid not, however, let it drop so soon as the exe- cutioner expected, and he had to touch him gently on the shoulder to remind him— he then dropped the handkerchief, and instan- taneously with the same hand grasped the rope at the back of his ear, at the same time compressing his body downwards, as if he intended to spring, but doubtless with the hope that he would thereby render his fall more easy. All this passed in an instant, for he had no sooner disengaged the handker- chief than the drop fell. His hand conti- nued to grasp the rope for a minute. He held the rope for the time mentioned, and that he still was not quite insensible appear- ed too evident, as upon disengaging his hand, he seemed to make a grasp at the spars of the folding gate and door, which had come against his body whilst struggling ; his hand, however, only struck against one » f the spars, and he dropped itto his side, clenching his fingers in upparent agony. He struggled long and violent. The body was cut down after it had hung rather more than thirty five minutes. He was carried off by his fa- ther and brother in a cart with all speed, un- der the fond hope that efforts to restore ani- mation would not prove unavailing. The father had, a day or two previously, called on a medical gentleman in St. Ninians, and mentioned what he intended to do on getting the body of his sou. The medical man not being able to move the father's resolutions, by representing to him the utter hopeless- ness of the attempt, agreed to attend aud use his efforts; aud the body having been brought to the house with the speed already described, he was in attendance, and cer- tainly appearances were so different from any thing he had formerly seen, that they gave him stronger hopes by far than he had enter- tained. The surgeon opened a vein in the temple, but without effect. He was more successful on opening the jugular vein, which flowed so freely that he could have taken any quantity of blood. The body was rubbed, and the usual methods adopted for producing circulation put in practice, but without effect, for no sooner was the blood drawn than the body became cold— the aspect of the countenance, and every thing placed it beyond doubt that the functions of life had now been too long suspended to expect that any human efforts could recal them again into action. He is, however, confident that if Cumpbell had been suspended, for ten minutes less, the result would have been very different. CAMPBELL'S WARNFNG, dated May 8. " I, John Campbell, under sentence of death, and imprensed with the awfulness of my situation, take this opportunity, as my last and dying declaration, most solemnly to warn all mankind, particularly the young people" in and about St. Ninians, with some of whom f have been in the habit of associating— " First, take solemn warning by my deplorable condition, against disobedience to parents—' Chil- dren, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.' 1 Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the LOUD thy GOD givetii thee.' " The breach of this commandment I have often committed, and most deeply and bitterly do I deplore it. " Secondly, ' Remember the Sabbath- day to keep it holy.'—[ Read the 4th commandment]. Sabbath profanation was the leading means of my ruin ; by neglect of religious ordinances, spending the day in idleness, sinful conversation, and sometimes sinful practices. Avoid these if you wish to prosper in this world, and regard your eternal happiness hereafter.' " Thirdly, beware of cock- fighting, for the follow- ing reasons - great cruelty, bad and idle company, drunkenness, with many other bad habits, whicii fol- low in their train ; again- t which I now, as a dying man, lift up my voice and warn ail to avoid. " Let all be careful of keeping the eighth com- mandment, particularly my former young associates. [ Here the prisoner names six youug associates to whom lie gives this caution, but propriety and strict justice forbid our saying more]. And [ implore you all to take warning by my untimely and awful situa- tion, and sincerely lament that I have been the means of leading you astray. I advise you fcr your soul's sake to give up all and every deviation from rectitude, and turn unto GOD, from whom you have deeply and awfully revolted. I return tny most trrateful acknowledgments to Bailliu Wm. Jaffray, of Stirling, for his unremitted attention to me since my condemnation, but more particularly for the sincere interest he has at all times manifested for the salva- tion of my never- dying soul. " To the Provost, and other Magistrates, I return my most sincere thanks for their kindness to me upon all occasions." Of Bai Hie Jaffray, the prisoner says, after particularizing the means of consolation used: " The impression on my mind I shall retain to my latest breath, and I pray the GOD of all grace may abundantly bestow upon him the consolations be has so liberally dispensed to me. The Kev. Drs. Wright and Small, Messrs. Smart and Gilfillau, Stirling, Greig, Anderson, and Logan, of St Ninians, Mr. Anderson, Blair Logie, Mr. Dempster Denny, and all others who vi- ited me in mv forlorn situation, ail of whom have been indefatigable in their endeavours to bring me to a proper sense of my situation. All these Rev. Gentlemen and others 1 beg may accept my sineerest and best thanks; and 1 trust, by the in- strumentality of these individuals, 1 am brought, in some respect, to see the exceeding sinfulness of sin — the offence which the magnitude of my transgres- sions must give to a pure and holy GOD, but still I cleave to that blessed promise that the blood of JESUS CHRIST. GOD'S Son, cleansetli from all sin, and that CHRIST died even for the chief of sinners. " X, John Campbell, declare the foregoing confes- sions and warnings to be truth atid genuine, in so far as my memory serves me, and it is my last and ear- nest request that they may be published, and given to the world, as my dying declarations ; and as such subscribe them in the presence of, & c. '•' ( Signed) JOHN CAMPBELL." Horse stealing is arrived at a most alarming pitch, being carried on upon a system diffi- cult to detect. The thief who steals the horse only rides him a short distance, when he is delivered into the hands of an accomplice, by whom he is forwarded to another. The actual stealer then makes his appearance in the neighbourhood where the robbery is commit- ted, and of course avoids suspicion. A truly humane system has been for a long time adopted by the Carron Ironworks company respecting their old horses. When the old faithful horses have fulfilled the pe- riod of their servitude, a large park, with a comfortable house, is provided for their shel- ter, in which the deserving pensioners are turned loose upon the superanuated list, to spend the remainder of their days in the lux- uriance of grass, ease, and freedom. On Friday, while the workmen were dig- ging out the foundation of the old grammar school, Perth, they found a large live eel about seven feet below the level of the street. The place where it was found was a little moist; but it remains a mystery how it got there, and how it contrived to live. The eel, which measured upward of three feet in length, and eight inches in girth attheshonl- ders, is to be presented to the Antiquarian Society. It is said that a gentleman moving in the higher circles, and possessing considerable property, has undertaken the singular task ( for a wager of 500 guineas), to beg his way from London to Edinburgh, and return within a month, engaging to save ,£ 100 du- ring his journey: to start in less than a fortnight. lilnpement Extraordinary.— A Real Occur- rence.— An affair has recently occurred in the vici- nity of Dublin, which occasioned no small degree of bustle in the family of a worthy old sportsman, whom ( not to publish nnmei), we will call Mr. Steeplechase. Every hotly ksnwf Mi's tiiddy Steeple- chase squints a liltle, and has a bit of a liucnp ou her back, though not much mure than the pretty set all voluntarily assumed, when they first adopted the French fashion of sticking out their backs, and wearing coal- scuttle bonnets. But what did this signify to Paddy O'Dandy, a dapper little gentle- mao, who had discovered that Miss Biddy would have £ 10,000. Paddy put on all hrs charms; he mounted a new gilt watch chain with seals, brushed up his castor, leered, grinned, ogled, and strutted. Is short he so wriggled himself ( as far as his stays would permit him to wriggle), into Miss Bitldy's good graces, that she really fancied herself in Inve. Paddy made his approaches skilfully, and at length proposed an elopement to Gretna. Miss did nol think the Blacksmith genteel, so Paddy was obliged 10 run for Paris. The only question now was, to raise the wind. Paddy scraped, and beg- ged, and borrowed, and at last, by letting his old father into his scheme, contrived to squeeze out of his savings the needfal for the ejeursion. When all was ready, Miss Biddy, under pretence of sickness, retired early one afternoon to her roon, faslened thedoor, and then, wilhall the delightful and tro- mantic joys of an elopement, bolted through he window into the arms of her expectant iwaln, who conducted her with protestations of eternal love In a covered car, intended lo carry her to Kingtlown, and titer, ce to Liverpool. Off they went ; and Paddy, elated by the deiterity of his scheme, pre- pared alelier for old Steeplechase, which hethrew in at Biddy's window. The steamer loon wafted them to Liverpool, and thence they posted off, as fast as horses could carry them, to their destination. The next morning early old Steeplechase knocked at his daughter's door, and receiving HO answer, and becoming alarmed, he applied his shoulders, and in n twinklingforced an entrance. But the bird had flown! Paddy's letter lay on the goor before him. He look it up and read as follows: — Dearest Dad Elect,— Don't be in a pet at being diddled. We have got, at least, 14 or 15 hours'start of you ; so you need not waste your time and money in pursuit. I am going to be ma'rried at Paris, and to do the thing genteelly, so that the family wiil have no cause to be ashamed of it. As what is done can't be rmdone, I beg you will send me, for my Biddy's sake, a letter of credit, on P. iris, as 1 have oniyjust cash for the journey. Iam, your dutiful son- in law elect, P. O'DANDY. " Stole away !" roared out old Steeplechase, with a tremendous oath. " Thrown out I jockeyed by that puppy I But stop ; let us look at'the country 5" said he, as he snatched op a map. After a moment's consideration, & loud tally- ho! pro- claimed his rising bopes, ihat be shnnld yel over- take ihe fugitive!. " Lynch," said he, " hnrne. s ihe black mare with all speed. Ah, the puppv I he won't jockey ah old sportsman so easily."— In such etclumations he vented his feelings till the mare was brought to the door, and he then drove to Kingstowo, which he reached just In time lo Slep on board the Bristol steamer. On his ar- rival at Bristol he posted, without stopping, to Southampton, where he found the steamer which runs from that place to Havre de Grace. An offer of =£ 50 induced the Captain to put to sea wilh all pm- ibleexpediiion, and in the course ofa few hours he landed at Havre. Henre hisjourney to Paris was quickly made. He then took up his station at Meurice'e, and, having refreshed himself, quietly wailed the arrival of the runaways. In due time up drove, wilh furious haste, a rum- ble- tumble French carriage, containing the ena- moured pair. Paddy handed out his prize, full of triumph and exultation, inhaling wilh delight the tickling sounds of Mi tor Anglaise from the po « lil- lions. liut suddenly appeared Ihe horrible vision of old Steeplechase. Miss Biddy went admirably through the regular forms of a loud scream, nnd adroitly fainted inio Ihe arms ofa handsome French Gar( on, who slood near her. As for paddy, he was almost petrified w ith horror. He seemed as though he would gladly have disappeared. Trembling aud pale, he glanced fearfully on the huge hunting whip which portentously swung lo and fro in Ihe fisi of old Steeplechase, who slood quietly with his arms a- kimbo in fronl of poor Paddy, enjoy ing hi) terror and confusion. At length, to his inexpres- sible relief, old Steeplechase, in a tone of innck gravity, thus addressed him—" Dearest, not elect, son- in- law, don't he in n pet at being diddled.— When you want to get Ihe start of an old fox hunler, lake care that you know the country over which 1 Iie sport lies. Now find the shortest nray back to Dublin— troop." Paddy needed no more. He turned upon la is heel, and scarcely felt the heavy kick of old Steeple- chase's boot, which, applied to his rear, lifted tlim nearly three feel from the ground. The old gentle- man leirorely returned with his daughter; and re- port says Ihat Paddy O'Daudy wits seen at Kings- town, sneaking out as a . teerage passenger from lite Bristol steam packet, shorn of his heam « , having pledged, uf Southampton, all be could pledge to pay Ihe expense of liii passage home.

The supply of Wheat since this day se'nnight lias: been tolerably large, upwards of' 9,000 quarters, and we had a fair arrival this morning, chiefly from' Essex and Kent; the trade, however, still continues in the same dull state we have of late had occasion to notice, the finest runs being selected on quite as good terms, whilst there Is no disposition to take off the ordinary sorts, although offered full 2s. per quarter lower.- Barley remainsmuch as last stated, and in Beans we observe 110 alteration in value. Peas, of both kinds, however, are a trifle dearer.— We have been largely supplied with Oats since this day se'nnight, and the trade is scarcely so brisk to- day, and about Is. perauarter cheaper— The Flonr trade is exceedingly dull, though without alteration in price.

We have hut a limited supply of Beasts at market to- day, and much of it isot an inferior kind, there being many town end Cows here ; in consequence, good Scots and Devons have risen 6d. per stone, with a quick sale for them, at that advance.— Mutton, on the contrary, is on the decline, there being a full market.— There is a scarcity of good Lamb, as much is wanted, and the best weights and qualities go off freely at 6s.— The great proportion of Veal here is vcrv inferior: hence the best quali ties have advanced' 2d. per stone ; the inferior can be had much beloiv 5 » . 6d.— For Pork there it little demand, witii no alteration in price.
