THE latest news received from Constan- tinople states that the Porte employs all the means in its power to hinder the commercial transactions of our merchants, anil to oppress the Russian subjects whom their affairs have obliged to remain at Constantinople. A great number of ships under the Russian flag are for- cibly detained, though they are provided with the neces- sary firmans for prosecuting their voyages, as the Cap- tains have been compelled to deliver up their cargoes at prices fixed arbitrarily. LISBON, April 9.— The miseries of Portugal, in a fi- nancirl view, are fast on the inctease. This evening re- port speaks of the dissolution of the Bank, tor nothing good can now be expected from its existence ; the credit of the country, is ruined; the Government threatens to seize the property of the State to supply its necessities; half the employes are starving, or living merely on public plunder; the coin in general currency is fast removing ; and commerce and confidence destroyed. Thus is Portu- gal hastening to a revolution. , . , „, ELVAS, April 7— All is perfectly quiet here. The embarkation of the British troops, has caused great joy in one party and despondence in the other. Trade is at a complete stagnation in Spain. Money is very scarce, but provisions plentiful. The crops are in a very forward state, and never more promising. The crops of pease and beans are almost unprecedented. LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 21. The French papers of Friday contain a letter from Vienna stating " it was believed in that capital that the moment hostilities should begin between the Russians and the Turks, a Declaration of Neutrality would be issued by the Courts of London, Paris, Vienna, and Berlin." M. Guilleminot, the Frensh Minister, remains at Corfu, whither Mr. Stratford Canning will repair in a few days. „ , _ MADRID, April 9— A brigade of the Royal Guard, composed of two regiments infantry, and another cavalry, have been ordered to leave Madrid, in order to clear the road, and to protect their Majesties' return to the capital It is confidently asserted that our Cabinet has lately received a very energetic note from the English Government, relating to our interference in the affairs of Portugal ; and that our Minister of State has formally declared that Spain would not interfere directly or in- directly in the internal affairs of that kingdom, or in- fluence the political conduct of Don Miguel. The Lyra sloop of war has arrived at Falmouth from Lisbon with despatches for Government. Their contents- have not transpired; but a Portuguese officer, who came over in the Lyra, reports that extensive arrests of the Constitutionalists and advocates of the Charter had com- menced in Lisbon, and that the persons seized, in most instances, had their hands tied behind their backs, and were marched between a file of soldiers through the middle of the streets, to the prison of the Limoeiro, without any consideration to their age or rank. The opinion entertained in the best informed circles is, that the Queen and her son will not desist from their enter- prise, and that ere long the Charter will not only be trampled to the ground, but that Don Pedro's authority will be set at naught. A letter received in the city, dated Odessa, 28th ult. states that all the military preparations were suspended on the 27th, by orders from St. Petersburg. By one ol' the Articles of the Treaty with Prussia, Prince Abbas Miiza is recognised as heir ap- parent to the throne of Persia. Letters from St. Petersburg to the 5th inst. state that the exchange had advanced to 10jj, being within an eighth of what it was previously to the issuing of the late manifesto against Turkey. This advance shews that there is not so niuch alarm among the merchants respect, ing the effect of war with Turkey on the intercourse with England. The subscription for the Duke of York's Monument amounts to 18,907/. At the late St. Patrick's Day Festival, the benefactions amounted to 1,1351, 10s. fid. The subscriptions for the sufferers by the fall of the Brunswick Theatre, amount to 3,2001. The Quebec Gazette states that his Excel- lency the Governor- in- Chief, the Earl of Dalhousie, re- ceived by the December mail a notification that the King had appointed him to succeed Lord Combermere in the command- in- chief of India ; and that whenever his Ex- cellency shall, at his own convenience, fix a period for leaving Canada, a successor will be named. A vessel has arrived at Tampico, from Vera Cruz, at Liverpool, which brings a report that the province of Vera Cruz has declared itself independent of that of Mexico, and the former has sent for assistance to the mother country. ROYAL COURTESY.— We are credibly in- formed, that the beautiful horse which his Majesty pre- sented to Don Mignel on his visit to Windsor Lodge, is now employed by this graceless scion of royalty in draw- ing stones about the streets of Lisbon— Portsmouth paper. For the last eis; ht or ten days an extraor- dinary motion of the sea has been felt in the Channel, in in so much that several ships outward bound could not proceed to the westward of the Lizard, and were_ ulti- mately obliged to put back into Plymouth. The rise of tide for several days was IS) feet. Upwards of forty labouring families are about to emigrate to North America from Newnham and Doddington, in Kent; the poor rates in these parishes are intolerable from the redundancy of labourers. In Oxfordshire the appearance of the wheat and barley crops is favourable, and there is more blossom in the fruit trees ( especially the cherries) than has been seen for Some years. In the comity of Gloucester the appearance of the com fields is very unfavourable. The wheat, in particular, looks extremely yellow. In the vales the late rains have put the pasture grounds into a highly flourish- ing state, and there is reason to hope for a large crop of apples. BOROUGH, April 21.— There is but little do- ing in Hops, but the holders are firm, and not disposed to give way. Currency: Sussex Pockets, 82s. to 88 « .; Kent, 90s. to 95J. and 105s. ; Hags, 76s. to 95 » , per cwt. In Old Olds, those which are fresh, ratlier more money is asked.

IN this Country there are few Persons who do not experience the debilitating effects of an indiscriminate use of Purgative Medicines. On the Con- tinent the use of Lavemens has long been established as a certain, immediate, and perfectly harmless means of preserving the body in that state which is indispensibleto health. An eminent medical Author says, " In France and Italy the Lavemen Apparatus is deemed as necessary an appendage to the toilet, as the water jug;" and adds, " it has been said, and perhaps with truth, that the fe- males of France are more healthy than those of Great Britain, which is attributed to their keeping the intestinal canal in a regular state by the use of domestic injections." Hitherto the great obstacle to the general adoption of this remedy in England, has been the inconvenient nature of the Instrument employed G. MAW and SON, 55, ALDERMANBURY. LONDON, are manufacturing an improved PORTABLE INSTRUMENT, which has received the approbation of the most eminent Medical Men. The following Testimonial is from Dr. Graham, author of the Modern Domestic Medicine, January 30, 1828:— Gentlemen, I have examined your Injecting Ap- paratus, and have much pleasure in giving my testimony in its favor, as a portable, effectual, and very useful In- strument. I keep one for the use of my own family, and shall recommend it as extensively as possible. Gentlemen, your's, & c. T. J. GRAHAM.

HUNT respectfully informs the Public, that he has now brought to unrivalled perfection his " MATCHLESS JAPAN BLACKING," an article which will be found on trial far superior iu qua'ity and cleanliness to any ever before offered to their notice. It is warranted not to contain a particle of copperas, stink- ing oil, or any of those pernicious ingredients, which prove so destructive to the leather, so disagreeable to the touch, and so offensive to the smell, and with which all common blacking is impregnated. It will afford peculiar nourishment to the leather, and, if well laid on with clean brushes, it will not soil the most delicate skin, or the finest linen. The best proof of its superiority over all other blacking, is the unprecedented patronage it has at- tained amongst all classes in the British Metropolis within the short space of four years, it being now selling in up. wards of 8000 shops within the bills of mortality. Sold wholesale and retail by Brodie ana Dowding, Salisbury; John Blackwell, grocer, Devizes ; and by all respectable venders in town and country.

MONDAY, April 21. Several petitions against the Test anil Corporation Acts were presented, as were also mheis against the Catholic claims. The order of the ( lay being moved for their Lordships to go into a Committee on the Test and Corporation Acts Bill, Lord Eldon observed it might be recollected, that from the year 1662 to the year 1828, a period of pretty nearly two centimes, those Acts continued to exist with- out any alteration, and the Church of England continued to be preserved— the subject had been completely at re9t, until a few weeks ago— when the march of intellect so speedily prevailed upon their Lordships in the manner in which it had evinced itself. In the thousands of petitions which had been presented to the House on the subject, he did not know how, but the Sacramental Tests were alluded to as degrading— but he would acquaint the petitioners that his Majesty himself had taken the Sacramental Test, and was obliged to submit to that which they had all stated to be a degradation— The question he considered to be truly this— whether, under the effect of the Acts as they then stood, the Con- stitution of the country had more security than it ought to have For himself, he thought decidedly not; for in his mind the Constitution was formed of Church and State, and existed only in their union and identity. Now, it was evident to all, that these Acts hud been framed with a view to keep up that alliance, which formed in truth the Constitution. Lord Holland said the noble and learned Lord was in- correct as to the fact of the Test and Corporation Laws forming part of the Constitution. The Constitution con- sisted in the power vested in the King, Lords, and Com- mons, of making statutes; but the statutes themselves were no part of the Constitution. Lord Eldon said he had considered the subject long and conscienciously, and he never would become a party to a separation between Church and State, in the alliance be- tween which he considered existed that Constitution which the wisdom of our ancestors had made, that had lasted for ages, and produced the happiness not only of this country, but, he firmly believed, of erery other part of the world. All that he wished, or hoped, or prayed, was, that he might never see the destruction of that Constitution under which England had been great, glorious, and happy ; and that when his time was over ( and it could now be but brief), that lie might leave posterity in possession of it, as the choicest blessing that this world could bestow. The Duke of Wellington said he had consulted with the Right Rev. the Bench of Prelates upon this subject, and he found that they were disposed to consent to the measure, and had strong objections to tile sacramental test. He felt also that if the Bill were not now passed, they would lose all the advantage resulting from the desire to establish the religious peace that had been displayed. Earl Grey complimented Ministers on the course they had adopted. The desire which the noble Duke had manifested to conciliate all parties, while preserving an anxious care for the security of the Church, entitled him to the gratitude of the country, and had very much en- creased his confidence in the noble Duke's administration. Lord Redesdale complained that their Lordships had compelled the King to belong to the Church of England, yet, by this bill, allowed his Ministers to be of a religion adverse to his Majesty; this was to him an insurmount- able objection. Amendments moved by Lord Eldon and Lord Tenter- den, were negatived; and the Bill went through the Committee.— Adjourned. TUESDAY, April 22. Lord Melville presented a pe- tition from the Hoyal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh, praying for a removal of those difficulties, which were opposed to procuring Subjects for Anatomy. A similar petition was presented by the Karl of Shaftesbury from « lie Physicians, Surgeons, and Students of the Medical School, in Aldersgate- street. On the motion of the Duke of Wellington, for the second reading of the Life Annuities Repeal Bill, Lord King rose and severely commented upon the political blunders which lie alleged had been the cause of the present ffieasure. After some discussion, the Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Their Lordships then adjourned till Thursday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY. April 21.— Numerous petitions were pre- sented against the Friendly Societies Bill, and against Catholic Emancipation. Mr. Peel presented a petition from the President anil Council of the Royal College of Surgeons of London. He had only to mention the names of Sir Astley Cooper, Sir Wm. Blizard, Mr. Abernethy, Sir Patrick M'Gre- gor, & c. to engage the attention of the House. These highly talented and respectable Gentlemen represented the great difficulty in the way of the successful prosecu- tion of medical studies in this country, which obliged so many students to go to France for education in the branch of anatomy. They staled that a knowledge of the con- struction of the human body was not to be obtained from models, but from the human subject alone, and that whilst medical practitioners were liable in this country to severe penalties for ignorance of their profession, the ade- quate means of knowledge were not within their reach. The Right Hon. Gentleman also presented similar peti- tions from the Medical School of Portman street, Glas- gow, and from the Surgeons of Leeds. In Scotland, he observed, the difficulties were greater than in England. Sir J. Mackintosh prssented a petition from the Medi- cal Society of Edinburgh, praying for the adoption of some means for the promotion of anatomical science. In Paris the means of acquiring anatomical knowledge were twenty times as great as in London ; and the consequence was, that 500 out of 2,000 medical students repaired to France for their education. Unless some means of im- provement were adopted, they must continue to derive the present inadequate supply from the clandestine and contraband disinterment of the dead, which was a school to lit men for the worst purposes. On the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer the House resolved itself into a Committee of Ways and Means, when the Right Hon. Gentleman moved that a sum of 4,000,000/. from the Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom be appropriated to the service of the current year, which was agreed to. The other orders of the day were disposed of.— Adj. TUESDAY, April 22— Mr. Brougham presented a petition, signed by the Chairman and Secretaries of all the Friendly Societies of Manchester and its vicinity, at a meeting held in that place, against the Bill now in pro- gress through the House He would not at present dis- cuss the subject of that Bill, but he would observe, that he entirely concurred in the views entertained by the pe- titioners, and hoped it was not now too late for the House to listen to the prayer of a body of men, amounting in number to not less than a million, and who were among the most industrious and well- disposed of his Majesty's subjects. The clause to which he ( Mr. Brougham) chiefly objected was, that called the retrospective clause; there were other clauses to which he was also opposed ; and if his objections to the bill were removed, very little of it would remain. When the House took into consi- deration the importance of the body from whom this and similar petitions emanated, he was sure it would be dis- posed to listen to their prayer. A petition was presented from the millers of the county of Stafford, against the importation of Hour. Twelve petitions were presented from parishes in Lin- coln, against the restrictions on the Coin Laws. Lord Stanley presented a petition from the Physicians and Surgeons of Manchester and its vicinity, against the regulations of the College of Surgeons. Mr. Western presented a petition from the owners and occupiers of 50,001) acres of land in the neighbourhood of Maldon, and a similar petition from parties bidding an equal quantity of land around Colchester. The peti- tioners expressed their apprehensions of the effect which would be produced by the proposed resolutions on the Corn Laws. Mr. Hume presented petitions from ten Benefit Socie- ties in Winchester, and from the Bowling- green Society in Manchester, against the Bill before the House. Mr. Benett presented a petition from the neighbour, hood of Salisbury, Warminiter, Devizes, and Marlbo- rough, praying that the House would not legislate on the Corn Laws, The petitioners were occupiers of laud to the value of a million a year. Mr. Caleraft presented a petition from the farmers and other occupiers of land in the neighbourhood of Shaftes- bury, praying the House not to meddle with the Corn Laws, but to impose a tax upon Foreign Wool. Mr. Warburton moved that a Select Committee be appointed to enquire into the manner of obtaining sub- jects for the schools of anatomy, and the suite of the law atfectiog persons employed in obtaining and dissecting dead bodies. Mr. Peel assured the Hon. Member, that he ( Mr. Peel) was convinced of the necessity of furnishing every facility possible for the prosecution of medical science, and had, as far as was consistent with an observance of the laws, done every thing in his power to afford them, i Hear- 1 The most eminent men of the medical pro- fession had stated the great difficulties that lay in the way of prosecuting properly the study of anatomy in this country, and of the necessity students found themselves under of repairing to foreign schools. They stated, at the^ same time, that they thought there were means bv' which an increase of subjects could be procured in this country. Under these circumstances he was very un- willing to refuse the medical profession an opportu- nity of laying their opinions before them. He had the good fortune to have much intercourse with the n-. embers of that profession, and he mast say, that it was utterlv impossible to find in any profession men of more enlightened views or disinterested benevolence. ( Hear.) Their representations were ehtitlcd to every considera- tion ; still he could not help having an opinion of his own, that if this inquiry was not conducted with the greatest caution, the object in view would be rather retarded than advanced. He knew that it was necessary that subjects should be had, and any man who had con- versed with an intelligent surgeon must laugh at the idea i f its being possible to become acquainted with the con- struction of the human body by means of wax figures. As had been truly observed, to deny surgeons subjects, was to reduce them to the necessity of mangling the living instead of the dead. He implored, however, the Hon. Member to proceed with caution— to beware how he attacked those prejudices which, for himself, he could not but respect— or he might raise difficulties in his path instead of obviating them. He had great hopes, from the maimer in which the Hon. Member had expressed him- self, that, as Chairman of the Committee, he would make his ( Mr. P. ' s) fears prove vain. ( The question was then put and carried, and a Select Committee was appointed. On the order of the day for the House going into Com- mittee on the Corn Laws being read, Mr. Portman rose and said, he thought the resolutions before them were worse for the landed interest than those adopted in the last Session of Parliament. The agri- cultural interest required a protection which should se- cure them 60s. per quarter; and the proposed resolutions did not give that protection so effectually as did the Bill of last year. Mr. Calcraft was not willing to give up the principle of the measure of last year, with which that House— with which the whole country— had been satisfied. ( Hear, hear.) lie thought that 62s., the pivot price, for the quarter of wheat, was a sufficient protection for the agri- culturists, and tliat it was so was very evident, since no complaint had been heard against it; but what had hap- pened since? Without any new information— without any change of circumstances, but merely because there had been a change in our Councils, we were now to be told that the pivot price must be 66s. ( Cries of no, no.) The Hon. Gentleman said lie was correct, taking into consideration the difference between the imperial and Winchester measure. Why, he would ask, depart from the measure agreed on last year ? He was so decidedly sensible of the advantages of the bill of last year over the measure now before the House, that he felt it would be Ills duty in the course of the Committee, to propose the duty of 60s. instead of the proposed one of 045. So inex- pedient and unjust did he consider that part of the pro- posed change, that he would divide the Committee upon It; and he would again repeat, that in other respects he regarded the bill of last year preferable to the one that was likely to emanate from the Resolutions before the House, if the majority of the House did not vindicate its own consistency by supporting the proposition which they last year had testified in so marked a manner by their approbation. Mr. Robinson, Mr. Stanley, and Mr. Ferguson, con- curred in the sentiments of the Hon. Gentleman ( Mr. Calcraft) who spoke last. Mr. Peel was decidedly of opinion, that the proposed Bill afforded a not unreasonable protection to the Agri- culturists, and that it was one likely to conduce to the satisfaction of the country generally. It was founded upon experience, to which he thought it was better to look, than say, we will adhere to what has been passed, bee mse we once declared our opinions to be in favour of it. The House then went into a Committee. Mr. Calcraft said, he would endeavour to go forward with his purpose, though the hour was rather late. He should move that the resolutions of last year be sub- stituted instead of those on the table. Mr. Robinson seconded the motion. Mr. Benett certainly preferred the Bill of last year to the present. It was founded on sounder principles, and gave protection where it was wanted. He had prepared certain Resolutions, as an amendment of the Bill of last year, from which, however, they did not generally differ. He should not move them then, while the motion of tile lion. Member for Wareham was pending. He was con- vinced that the new Resolutions were generally unpopular, and that they deserved to be so. Mr. Huskisson said he was aware that many Members had suffered themselves to be led away by the ingenious calculations of the Hon. Member for Wiltshire, which, after ail, could not bear analysis. He was sure that at the point at which both sides met, an adequate protection was given up to 60s.; then the admission of foreign corn up to fi5s., under regulations, and without any restric- tions at all, when the price arose above ( Jos., was well calculated to meet both ends, of protection and admission. But as to the Bill of last year, lie would confess, that though he was party to it, yet when he found it did not answer in practice, he felt it to be his duty to take the benefit of experience, no matter how inconsistent his con- duct might appear; and was not the fact of admitting corn from the Colonies last year at Cos., a proof that 65s. was considered by the framers of last year's Bill a good and proper admission price. But w^ nt surprised him most of all was to hear his Hon. Friei4 talk of a pro- tecting price. Now was it possible for any person to imagine that, under the present circumstances of the country, a permanent high price could be maintained ? Even the relaxation of the price was useful to the coin grower himself; as for the depression of the price in abundant seasons, he was entitled to demand a remune- rating price in other seasons. He was sure that, under all circumstances, it was quite impossible to fix on a high permanent price on the consumers. As to the proposal of the honourable Member for Taunton, though a price of from ( 10s. to fi4s. might be considered protection last year, that was no reason it should be held sufficient now ; as it was proved by experience that 00s. was not a sufficient protection at present. In fact the House was bound by that experience to increase the pro- tection, in order to give effect to the principle laid down in Mr. Canning's Bill. Even in 1804, the protecting price was from 24s. up to 03s. Winchester; now that was equal to a sum varying from 21s. up to 83s. imperial. Mr. Portman said, that lie did not consider the duty sufficient, and that 4s. additional were necessary at the present pivot price. The Honse then divided, when there appeared— For the original motion, 202 ; For the amendment, 58; Majority, 144. The House having resumed, the Chairman repotted progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Friday next. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned to Thursday. London. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23. Anniversary of his Majesty's Birth- duy.— This being St. George's Day, and also appointed for the anni- versary of his Majesty's nativity, the morning was ushered in with every demonstration of joy, by the ringing of bells and displaying of flags from the steeples of the dif- ferent churches. At one o'clock the Park and Tower guns fired a double royal salute on the occasion, and every preparation is making for a grand illumination in the evening. The Duke of Cumberland, accompanied by his son, Prince George, attended by his private Secre- tary, arrived at his apartments in the King's Palaoe, St. James's, about five o'clock on Monday afternoon, in the carriage and four, from Dover, The Duke left his Pa- lace near Berlin on the 9th inst. The Dnke of Cumberland, accompanied by his son Prince George, proceeded yesterday morning to the residence of the Princess Augusta, to inquire after the health of her Royal Highness. The Duke from thence proceeded to the Admiralty, and visited the Duke and Duchess of Clarence. From the- Admiralty the Duke proceeded to Gloucester- House, where Prince George remained to breakfast with the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, while the Royal Duke paid a visit to Earl Eldon. The Duke, accompanied by the Prince, after- wards proceeded to the King's Palace, at Kensington, and visited the Duchess of Kent, the Duke of Sussex, and Princess Sophia. In the evening his Royal Highness dined with his Majesty, at his Palace in St. James's. Neither House of Parliament meets to- day, in consequence of the Drawing- room, and of its being the King's birth- day. A declaration of neutrality from the Courts London, Paris, Vienna, and Berlin, is expected to be published, as soon as war breaks nut between Russia and the Porte. By this Declaration, the Greek Question will be separated from tile Russian Question— Courier. It is confidently stated in the City, that the remonstrances of England, Austria, and Prussia, have induced the Russians to delay the passage of the Pruth for a month. In the French Chamber of Deputies the Keeper of the Seals has introduced a project of law on the press, which abolishes the discretionary censorship; which abrogates the law of tendency ; and which restores to all Frenchmen permission to establish any new journal, literary or political, which they may choose, by con- forming to the existing laws. Hamburg papers to the 16th inst. have brought intelligence from St. Petersburg to the 3d. By the Treaty between Russia and Persia, Russia, besides the important provinces of Erivan and Naketschevan, acquires the salt mines of Knipi and other extensive com- mercial advantages. Of the 80 millions of rubles stipu- lated to he paid by Persia, 64 have been already received by Russia. The Emperor has ordered 0 millions to be distributed among the officers who have most distinguished themselves in the Persian war. BERLIN, April 16.— Some shocks of an earth- quake were felt here on the night of the 12th instant. MALTA, March 5.— The reinforcements sent from England to Admiral Codrington, begin to arrive. The Ætna and Infernal bomb vessels aie already ill our port. The Hussian ships, which came here to repair after the battle of Navarin, are now in order again, and are preparing to sail to the Archipelago. It is confidently stated that the Sinking Fund will be reduced by the Finance Committee to one million and a half per annum ; and this only to take place, pro- vided there is an excess of revenue over expenditure. Upon this report the Funds are advancing. Extract of a letter received from Dublin, dated Saturday last :—" The Catholic Association met yesterday— the Rent amounted to 84l. The most unex- pected proceeding of the day, was the visit of Lord Wm. Paget, son of the Marquis of Anglesey, accompanied by Lord George Hill and Baron Tuyll, first Aid- de- Camp to the Lord Lieutenant. I cannot describe to you the sensation of the Catholics on so unexpected an occasion." One of the Readers of the Irish Society was murdered a few days since at Kingscourt, and some bibles taken from him and cut in pieces on the road— Limerick Chronicle. A new Report lias been made by Mr. Jacob to a Committee of the Privy Council on the subject of the Agriculture and Corn Trade of the Continent. His inquiries tend to shew, that countries which grow corn cheap, cannot export it on such low terms as may have been supposed. The bad state of the roads in some of the States which he visited, made it impossible for the farmer to remove more than half an English load of grain, by the same means which would here suffice to carry a whole one; and the slow rate of travelling, and the consequent expense for horse food, necessarily add considerably to the price of the commodity before it can be put on ship board. In 11125, he states that there was a general belief, that over production was universal, and this, too, at a time when almost all the places he tra- versed had but little stock on hand. Mr. Jacob calcu- lates that the population of Europe has received an in- crease since the general peace of from twenty- eight to twenty- nine million of souls. A petition is now in course of signature to the House of Commons, from the Traders and Inhabi- tants of Exeter and its vicinity, to the following effect :— " That your petitioners, viewing with alarm any measure calculated to lessen the circulating medium, as being in their opinion pregnant with consequences highly injurious to the manufacturing and trading interests, and probably not less detrimental to the Public Revenue, do humbly beseech your Honourable House to make provision for the continuance of the circulation of notes of one pound and under 51, value, by the Country Bankers of England and Wales, in the same manner as Bankers in Scotland are now authorised to continue the circulation of such notes." The woolgrowers of Lincolnshire have re- solved to petition both Houses of Parliament to the following effect:—" That your petitioners are labouring under the greatest distress for want of a market for their wool, which they attribute to the reduction of duty on the importation of that article from foreign countries ;— for this reason, till that measure took effect they had not any difficulty in obtaining a market for it, but from that time the reverse has been the case ; and consequently at this period many of us have not less than two or three years wool by us, without ever having had an application or a customer for it." Mademoiselle Sontag was born at Cohlentz. Her parents were distinguished theatrical performers; and she seemed destined by nature, as well as by early education, for the stage. At the age of five years she performed with so much grace and intellect a part re- quiring genius, that every body presaged her future great talents. At nine years of age, having lost her father, she travelled with her mother throughout Germany, perform- ing every where with complete success : her voice had already acquired an extraordinary extent, and her ma- nagement of it was so perfect, that the most difficult airs of Mozart were sport to her. At Prague, she received a classical instruction, which such a pupil alone stood in need of. Her wonderful talents were afterwards ex- hibited at Vienna and on the Italian stage. A young gentleman, the grandson of a soli- citor at Braintree, lately deceased, who by his parsimony accumulated about 150,000/. m estates and money, to which the youth will be entitled when of age, eloped, on the 9th instant, with the daughter of the landlord of the Horn inn. The lady is said to be about 1( 1, and the young mail is a ward in Chancery. They are supposed to have reached the opposite coast Essex Herold. A new town called Columbus, has been laid out and commenced at the falls of the Chattahochee, in Alabama. The town is laid off in oblong squares of four acres; each divided into eight square, lots of half an acre. Its length parallel with the river is 1$ mile and 300 yards, and its breadth half a mile and 34 yards. The two streets nearest the river are 165 feet in width, and suitable squares have been reserved for a court- house, churches, & c New York Paper. FERNANDO PO.— The latest accounts of this new colony continue to give the most satisfactory as- surances of its prosperous commencement. More me- chanics had gone from Sierra Leone to join Captain Owen ; and the natives continued peaceable and friendly. Iodine has lately been exhibited, both in- ternally and externally, in cases of gout, with consider- able success. It has, it is asserted, subdued the most violent paroxysms. At Dibdale Bank, near Dudley, there re- sides a young woman, upwards of 17 years of age, who is only 30 inches high, and weighs not more than iSOlbs. She cannot speak, and exhibits all the usual propensities of a child two years of age. Her name is Lucretia Knight. At the Mansion House on Monday, a young man named James Fehrman, of most respectable con- nections, underwent examination on a charge of having committed forgeries in the name of N. N. Rothschild, Esq. The Justice Room was crowded with persons of respectability, The prisoner ( who appeared afflicted with shame) was after a short examination fully committed to Newgate for trial. Fehrman was confidential clerk to the highly respectable house of Ward, of which the worthy City Member of that name is a partner. His salary, from his situation, which was one of great trust, was very considerable, and he received, it is said, with his wife, a niece of Mr. Bolland, a fortune of five thousand pounds. Most unluckily for his character, for that of his family, and, it is feared, for his life, he was tempted in an evil hour to dabble in time- bargains, a traffic ill which a few speculators have amassed princely fortunes, and in which thousands have been ruined. He was unsuccessful, and for the purpose of making good his differences appears to have had recourse to the last desperate re- source— forgery. At the Surrey Sessions, on Monday, Eliza- beth Aris, mistress of the Chorusses at the Surrey Thea- tre, was convicted of stealing several articles of jewellery, the properly of Mr. Bennett, veterinary surgeon, Vaux- hall Walk, to whose wife the prisoner had been employed some time to teach music, since which period she was in the habit of visiting occasionally. The prisoner, during the whole of the trial was in strong hysterics The Jury recommended her to mercy, in which the prosecutor most strongly joined; and the Chairman sentenced her to pay a fine of 1 » . and be discharged. AFRICA.— It has been put beyond question that Major Laing and Capt. Clapperton have been mur- dered while pursuing their researches into the interior of Africa. GAME LAWS.— It was stated by one of the witnesses lately examined before the Committee of the House of Commons, and who had, by his own confes- sion, been an extensive dealer in game, in a town in the North of England, that, on one occasion, having had an information filed against him by a preserver of game in Yorkshire, he gave the poachers a premium for poach- ing on the land of the gentleman in question, and by paying them an addditional sixpence for every brace of birds, hare, pheasant, & c. he actually succeeded ill de- populating the estate of game of every description. Archdeacon Browne has again apportioned ( as has been his practice for some years past) land, ready tilled, and rent free, to forty poor families of the village of Cotgrave, for the growth of potatoes— Nottingham Journal. Cure FOR TOOTH- ACHE.— A sheet of writing- paper, burned on a clean white plate, will leave a yel- lowish oily residuum ; take this up with a small piece of clean cotton, and place it in the affected tooth ; in about a quarter of an hour, the pain will, in nine cases out of ten, be completely removed.— Mechanics' Magazine. SINGULAR MISTAKE.— When the late Bishop of Chichester was first elevated to that Bishopric, he re- sided on Star Green, till the Palace was ready for his reception, and sent to a London fishmonger an order to supply him with a dish of fish twice a week, dating his letter from Star Green, signing it at bottom J. Cicest. The fishmonger, not knowing the rank of his customer, had the following direction written on a label, and tied to the packages: " J Cicest esq m p Stargreen Battle SUSSEX" Several parcels were sent, directed in this manner, before the proper mode of direction was pointed out to him. There is a considerable quantity of base coin now in circulation. Not less than five counterfeit sove- reigns were lately presented at one of the Boston banks in one day. Moveable stocks have been prepared at Chi- chester, to be drawn on four wheels, so as to be made use of in any parish, on the shortest notice. They have already been the means of procuring three fines of as. each, for drunkenness, the parties choosing to pay rather than suffer the punishment of being placed in them. A seizure of upwards of 1000 yards of French Silk, was made a few days since by Gamblin and Robin- son, of the Customs, Portsmouth, in a yard belonging to the King's Head, in the Borough, London. CRUELTY.— At York, on Wednesday even- ing, in consequence of some information obtained, re- lative to the treatment of a female child ( five years of age), of one Edward Ray, in Petergate, by its father and stepmother, a constable proceeded to the dwelling- house of that person, which consists of two apartments; lie found Bay and his wife, with two children, sitting at supper in the inner room ; anil the child in question was found standing against the wall, in the outer one, which was without fire or light. The body of the child was bruised from head to foot. Kay and his wife were taken into custody, and on Thursday were examined before H. J. Dickens, Esq., who committed them to Peter Prison, for trial at the sessions. The child is an illegitimate one of Ray's; and as a proof of the cruel way in which it was treated, we may state, that, last Saturday, the unnatural father put it naked into the coal- hole, where it was kept for four hours; when it was taken out, he took a bucket of cold water, and the cloth used to wash the house with, and scrubbed its body, slapping its face every now and then during the operation. - Hull Packet. Lord Eldon's Protest against the Repeal of the Corporation and Test. Acts :— " Dissentient,— Because we think this Bill proceeds upon the alleged expediency of repealing the Sacramental Test, for the purpose of substituting as a security for the support of the Established Church, which is an essential part of the Constitution of the State, nothing but a de- claration as to Corporate offices, which may be made by persons not Protestants, and not even Christians ; and because, also, it does not render necessary even such a declaration to be made by any persons accepting offices and places of trust, but leaves it wholly in the power of the Crown to require, or not to require, it to be made by any such persons." ( Signed by Lord Eldon and many other Peers.) HORRID MURDER.— On Monday evening a constable from Suffolk, named Ayres, made an applica- cation at Lambeth- street police- office, stating that a 3trong suspicion was entertained that a murder had been com- mitted in Suffolk, by a person named William Corder. In consequence of this communication, an officer of this establishment, in company with Ayres, apprehended Corder ; and a few minutes before the office closed yes- terday evening, he was brought in custody before the sitting Magistrate. From a statement, on oath, of the constable Ayres, it appeared that the murdered woman, whose name was Maria Martin, aged 25, was decoyed, in male attire, on the l8th of last May, from the house of her parents, at Polstead, in Suffolk, by the prisoner, ( son of an opulent farmer) who desired her to meet him at a certain barn, when he promised her that they should go to Ipswich, and be married by licence. The unsus- pecting girl accordingly attended at the time and place appointed. From that day to this the girl has not been heard of. Since that time, however, many letters had been received by the parents of the girl from the pri- soner, in which he uniformly stated, that he and their child were living most happily together in the married state ; and ill the last letter he wrote, he stated that he should soon return and resume the occupation of his farm. He feigned many excuses for the silence of the deceased, from time to time. The mother of the girl, however, became alarmed, and the subject preyed so much on her mind, that she dreamed that her daughter was murdered, and her body buried under the floor in the barn of the prisoner, where he had appointed to meet her on the 18th of May. The corn which was in the barn l: av<>' ' been recently threshed, the mother requested :; iat the floo might be taken up, which was accordingly done, when, to her horror, she discovered the remains of a sack, in which was the mangled body of her daughter. The body was, of course, in a state of decomposition, but it was identified by one of the teeth of the jaw being out, which was her case. She was also dressed in the same male attire she wore on the fatal night. The prisoner was sent in the custody of the constable to Suffolk. The unfortunate Maria Martin above- men- tioned was handsome in person, and had borne a child by Corder. It is a most remarkable circumstance, that the successful search for her body, was made in conse- quence of her unhappy mother dreaming on three succes- sive nights last week, that her daughter had been mur- dered and buried in the barn. ( From a Correspondent of the Preston Chron- icle.)— Ellen Alston, aged I8 years, residing in the neighbourhood of Chorley, after being much convulsed, vomited, on the 23d of February last, ( having previousiy said she had someting alive on her stomach) a large sized frog, which lived about three hours. In 3 or 4 days afterwards she threw up a second, which, from its ap- pearance, must have been dead several hours, as the body had partly been decomposed by the action of the gastric juice. Its skin was found to be entirely obliter- ated, and the viscera of the bowels, together with the first joints of the esbremetus, were nearly destroyed; proving, what is generally understood, that the gastric juice will not attack living matter, but dead. The other frog was unusually large, and was found to contain an immense quantity of spawn. Its colour was very similar to other frogs, but the claws were softer. The girl has been accustomed to drink water from rivulets, pools, & c., and to sleep on the ground; she says she threw from her stomach, some years since, a living animal with four legs, which most probably was the larceta aquatica. She has, since the rejection of those reptiles, enjoyed a toler- able share of good health. The Rev. Rowland Hill, M. A. uncle to Lord Hill, the Commander of the Forces, preached at the Countess of Huntingdon's Chapel, Canterbury, on Thurs- day evening, for the benefit of the Foreign Missionaries. This venerable man remarked that, though he was preaching upon the benefits arising from the diffusion of Christian knowledge abroad, there were many beings at home in a state of almost utter ignorance. The place was crowded to excess, and many went away, unable to find room. At a meeting of the inhabitants of Birming- ham, held on Friday, it was resolved to petition the Legislature to carry into effect the intention of Govern- ment for the amelioration of the condition of the Slave population in our Colonies, and to employ such other measures as experience may have suggested for ultimately extinguishing slavery in the British dominions. The cotton and woollen manufactories in Leeds and the adjoining counties arc now in full employ- ment and the immense population dependent on them is once more in the enjoyment of the necessaries of life and of a portion of its ordinary comforts. The Sheffield Cutlers.— A requisition to the master cutlers of Sheffield is now in course of signature, for a public meeting, to take into consideration the serious inconvenience which is likely to arise to manufacturers and others, in consequence of the contemplated with- drawal of all small notes from circulation in January next Leeds Mercury. The ruins of the New Bruswick Theatre, it appears, are likely to be still the subject of a contest.

PUGILISTS.— Sampson has resolved to retire from the Ring, and has in consequence declined accepting Spring's challenge; lie has published a letter to this effect in the papers: he says, addressing himself to Spring, " You state in your bills, that you are the Champion of England, and vet you dare not fight Ward, but challenge me. I have advised with my friends, and they say that they will back me against any man in England, for Five Hundred, anil against you in preference to any other, for they think that you are an old woman, which is my opinion also. I have only to say, when I am placed in the world as you are ( I mean cleaned out), I will fight again, and you shall have the first chance— but not till then do I mean to enter the Ring. Allow me to remind you, that Ward is in want of a customer, and, I have iio doubt, would be proud to make a match with you as soon as you think proper." WRESTLING.— The grand Metropolitan Match for 000 sovs. commenced on Monday last, at the Eagle Tavern, City Road, but at which, unfortunately, the brave A. Cann will not be able to exhibit his tactics, having been attacked with a severe fit of the gout— Some sporting characters have offered to back nine Devonshire men, now assembled at the above match, against any nine men in the world, for one thousand sovereigns. SEA- WEED FOR MANURE.— It is the annual custom at Aldemey to cut the sea- weed from the rocks with hooks, at the lowest tides, in March. There is abundance of sea- weed on our coasts; and yet it is al- lowed to remain on the rocks as useless, whereas if it was applied to manure the land, it is certain from the experi- ence gained at Aldemey, as well as most parts of Ireland, that its effects on land are most advantageous. HATS.— Hats for men were invented at Paris, by a Swiss, 1404. They were first manufactured in London, by Spaniards, in 1510. Before that time, both men and women in England commonly wore close- knit woollen caps. POTATOES.— It may be important to those who wish to preserve this invaluable root from shooting out or budding forth when stored up for use, to know that by distributing a small quantity of salt between each layer of potatoes, on pitting them, it will have the effect of checking the vegetation, and. instead of lessening, will add to the nutricious quality of the root. The experiment iias been successfully tried both in this and the adjoining county of Wilts Berkshire Chronicle. On Friday last a girl, about nine years of age, was discovered suspended from a tree, near Penrith. This unfortunate little creature lost her life in a most sin- gular manner; it was at first supposed that she had com- mitted suicide; but upon examination, there was reason to suppose that she had fastened her Swinging rope to a tree, for the purpose of amusement, and by some mears, not accounted for, it slipped, and caorllt herself by the chin, and dislocated her neck. In this position she was found, with her knees nearly upon ( he ground, quite dead. A husband residing in Ashton- under- Line sold his wife in the public market, ai Wednesday, for threepence. As soon as the sale was cincluded the party adjourned to a public house to ratify the disgraceful bargain. Mark Kent, an inhabitant of Devonport, has been fully committed to take his trial at the ensuing as- sizes, for committing an assault on a female child aged five years and nine months. The prisoner is an old man, and kept a school for small children. The brother Of the little girl was under his instruction. This is the second offence of a similar description tie wretch has been charged with. The new Uniform approved of by his Majesty for the different Regiments of Militia throughout the kingdom, is now in the course of delivery to them.— Long lapped coats, similar to those worn by the Guards, supersede the present jacket. FUNERAL OF COUNTESS NELSON.— The re- mains of this lady were interred yesterday morning in die cemetery beneath St. Paul's Cathedral. The procession, consisting of a herse and six followed by two mourning coaches, the carriages of the deceased, and her son- in- law, Lord Bridport, with another private carriage, drew up to the western door, at which it was met by the offi- ciating clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Knapp. The coffin, which was covered with crimson velvet, was preceded by a mute bearing an Earl's coronet on a crimson cushion, and was followed by Lord Bridport, Messrs. Matcham and Yonge, nephews to the deceased, and Lord Nelson's Solicitor, wearing crape scarves— two females, apparently domestics, in deep mourning, closing the train. After the appointed Psalm and Lesson, which was read in the small chapel on the left of the entrance, the procession again moved to the vaults, where the body was finally deposited in a brick grave on the south side of the late Lord Nelson's tomb, anil between it and that which contains the remains of his gallant companion in arms, Lord Collingwood. The whole was conducted in the most private manner, and very few spectators were attracted. The late Sarah Countess Nelson died in the 79th year of her age. She was the daughter of the Rev. Henry Yonge, and at the time of her marriage with the then lie v. Wm. Nelson, in 1780, had very little expecta- tion that her brows would ever be decorated with a countess' 3 coronet, the present Earl Nelson, who is a prebendary of Canterbury Cathedral, having succeeded to the title on the demise without issue of the illustrious Earl Nelson, according to the limitations of the patent.— Times. LISBON, April 7.— The Gazette contains a detailed account of the late murder of the Professors of the University of Coimbra by thirteen of the students. Nine of them have been arrested, and are in the prison of the University; the other four have, for the present, evaded the search made for them. PORTSMOUTH, April22.— That highly disci- plined regiment, the 58th, under the command of Lieut. Colonel Clifford, were inspected, yesterday, by Colonel Phillpot, of the Royal Artillery, previous to their em- barkation for Ceylon, which is expected to take piace in a few days. Colonel Phillpot is the senior Commanding Officer in the absence of our Lieutenant- Governor, Sir Colin Campbell. The 21st Fuzileers will replace the Silth in garrison here. By reference to the history of the Corn Trade, and the laws which regulated it in former times, we flnil that previous to the year 1660 the price of corn had been higher in this than in other countries, and we had im- ported occasionally foreign supplies. About that time it fell, and laws were enacted to shut out foreign corn, in order to raise it again to a proper level. These laws did not have the desired effect; they were unavailing in that respect until nearly one hundred years after, when the price rose, and in 1764 laws were enacted to permit im- portation regularly Farmers' Journal. By the return of the Corn and Grain Ave- rages between the 1st August 1827, and the 31st March 1828, it appears that on the 3d of August the Wheat was 61s. Id. per quarter, and on the 20th March 1828, 54. t. 2d. but, by the addition of other cities and towns in Great Britain and Ireland, the quarter of Wheat is 50, t. 10./. WOOL.— We are happy to observe that those districts, in which Wool is principally the staple produce, are exerting themselves with considerable energy to pro- cure an adequate protection against foreign importations. Unless some alteration is made in their favour, it is im- possible to say where the ruin which is daily creeping upon the British Wool- grower will stop ; and unless that alteration is made speedily, it will come too late to save many from the effects of its being delayed. As this sub- ject affects, in the greatest degree, the freeholders of counties, we trust that the example of the constituents will not be lost upon their representatives, but that the latter will prove to their agricultural electors that they have the interests of agriculture at heart. They cannot have a better opportunity of doing good to those whom they profess to support, and of evincing their own sin- cerity, than in pressing upon the Legislature the vital necessity of recurring to that system of protection, which was merely abandoned on the ground that the abandon- ment would not injure the Agriculturists of England. It has injured them, and it is but just, not to 6peak of the policy of the measure, to re- enact those duties which were given up on a promise which has not been realized.— Farmers' Journal. There are said to be in the United Kingdom fifty- eight thousand looms propelled by water and steam, which can manufacture at a rate which, allowing six yards for the yearly consumption of one person, would supply 62,700,000 persons per annum. Some idea of the minute particles of odorous bodies may be formed from the fact, that musk and am- bergris may diffuse a continual and strong odour for a long period of time, without suffering any diminution of weight. Haller found that one grain of ambergris im- bued 0,000 square feet of paper with its peculiar odour, which was not lost during a period of forty years; and the same philosopher and physiologist also calculated that less than the two thousand millionth part of a grain of camphor is distinctly perceptible when diffused in air I Lord Valencia also states, that the perfumes of the island of Ceylon may be detected at the distance of nine leagues. FLATIERY,— Trust not the flatterer. He ex- pects a good price for a worthless commodity. His very offering proves his mean opinion of your understanding'; and his end being to profit by your credulity, he will be the first to turn you into ridicule for suffering his dex- terity to be successful. DUBLIN, April 21.— The manner in which Lord Anglesea received the deputation from the meeting of the nobility, gentry, bankers, merchants, & c. on Fri- day, was most interesting. The deputation was composed of men of ail parties, and when the Lord Lieutenant entered the reception- room, he appeared to be strongly affected by the union of sentiment which he witnessed. O'Connell appeared near him in his Association uniform. It is a green dress, with one gilt button on the breast, with a shamrock encircled by the words " Catholic Asso- ciation." Many others of the deputation wore another description of dress, which has become quite fashionable here since Lord Anglesea has patronised the manufactures of Ireland— blue Irish cloth coat with gilt buttons, bear- ing the inscription " Anglesea" upon them, and buff tabbinet waistcoats, with buttons of a smaller kind to match. The charge for deck passage from Ireland to Liverpool, & c. is only 1 s. 6d. At the Assizes of Clonmel, last week John Burke petitioned for compensation for the loss of a valu- able mare, stabbed to death last January. He swore that he could not procure a valuator to come forward to prove the value of the animal, so great was the terror which prevailed; and that he had three sons, one of whom was married to a sister of Daniel Mara who was murdered, and this was the only reason he could assign for killing his mare ! Judge Moore immediately ordered the peti- tion to be 6ent before the grand jury, emphatically re- marking that such a case clearly showed the state of society in Tipperary. In the night of Thursday last some thieves broke into Sydney Gardens, Bath, and plundered the Aviary of its canary birds, cages, & c. There were about 140 birds, in fine plumage and full song, and from 80 to 100 of the feathered songsters, and a greater number of eggs, were stolen, together with property connected with the fitting up of their colony ! SINGULAR MARRIACE.— On Thursday were married at Mylorchurch, Mr. Anthony Rowe and Miss Mary Ann Rickard, of that parish ; the bridegroom, who was one of the crew of the Rinaldo packet, unfortunately had both his arms shot off above the elbows, at Halifax, last July, on the anniversary of the King's coronation. He was indebted to the help of the carpenter for a pair of wooden hands, encased in a pair of gloves, having a spring at the fore- finger, which enabled him to put oil the ring. VALUABLE WIFE.— A man of the name of Carpenter exposed his wife for sale at Smithfield, yester- day. Two bidders contended for the purchase, anil she was going to be adjudged to the highest bidder for 21. when her husband, properly conceiving that, at this rate she must be worth something, bought her in again. CORN- EXCHANGE, April 23.— Our supplies ( 6,100 quarters of Wheat, 5,400 of Barley, 3,750 of Oats, and 0,400 sacks of Flour) since Monday were, up- on the whole, large; still fine samples of Wheat, Barley, and Oats, fully supported that day's currency, although the sales effected in each of them were far from being nu- merous. Hudson's Botanic Tooth Powder and Tincture. THESE DENTIFRICES, which have so A much attracted die attention of the medical Pro- fession, are Remedies for all Disorders of the Mouth ; they not merely cleanse and beautify the Teeth, but preserve them from decay. They make the Teeth white, fasten such as are loose, eradicate the scurvy and tartar from the Gums, leaving them firm and of a healthy redness, and if used regularly will supersede the necessity of a Dentist. They are entirely free of acid, and so in- nocent that a child may take the contents of a box of the Powder, and the Tincture is an excellent stomachic and a certain remedy for the Tooth- ache.

T1416 BILIOUS, NERVOUS, & LIVER COMPLAI NT- Dr. SYDENHAM's ANTlBlLlOUS, or FAMILY PILLS— These Pills ( Entirely Ve- getable^ are unrivalled in Bilious and Liver Complaints, Indigestion, Flatulencies, Habitual Costiveness, Spasins, Nervous Head- Aches, & c., Mild, yet effectual in their operation, without mercury or mineral, and requiring no restraint in diet or confinement during their use, possess- ing the power to clear the intestines of the bile which may be acting offensively to them, at the same time correcting- and improving the secretion, without increasing the quan- tity secreted. Females find the occasional use of them materially beneficial to their general health, as their purely Vegetable composition is not likely to disagree with the most delicately constituted stomach. Nothing can show their superiority more than the approval of Families off distinction, as well as the Public and Medical men in present practice. ( See the opinion of an eminent Physi- cian practising extensively at Clifton and Bristol, on the wrapper surrounding each box of Pills.) And the in- creasing sale of Sydenham's Antibilious Pills, prove them the most valuable, safe, and effectual Medicine extant. Persons of either sex going to or residing in hot climates, those leading sedentary lives, and Commercial Gentle- men, will find them a certain assistant to repel the attacks of disease arising from neglect, intemperance, the want of exercise, or the effects of climate. One Pill taken at the hour of dinner, is admirably calculated to assist digestion, correct excesses of the table, and give a healthy action to the stomach. Sold by the proprietor, J.

The Prince de Polignac, the Baron de Damns, and the Duke d'Escars, are spoken of to succeed the Duke de Riviere. The Diaro di Roma announces that Ibrahim Pacha has destroyed the fortifications of Navarin and Modon. There is news from Constantinople ot March 26. There is nothing of any importance. The Divan which considered the war with Russia as inevitable, was causing the defensive preparations to be carried on with the greatest activity. , - , ZANTE March 28. A squadron of men of war be- longing to the Allied Powers, has been cruising for some days past, before Navarin, and forbids all ships to ap- proach the Morea. The Greek steam packet remains be- fore Patras. Pirates are still seen in. the environs of Maina. VIENNA, April 12. It is said that a note of the Eng- lish Cabinet was received here the day before yesterday, in which it declares that in case of a rupture between Russia and Turkey it will remain neuter ; hut that in concert with France, it will persist in tile execution of the treaty of July 6. It is generally believed here that this declaration may be considered as a pledge for the maintenance of peace between the Powers ; and we feel the more easy, because Russia has protested lately, more than once, and in the most solen. manner, that it had not in view any increase of territory. It is thought that these assurances of Russia have pro- duced a declaration of the English Cabinet : the result of which will probably be, that Prussia and Austria will enter into the same engagements, with respect to the war between Russia and Turkey— Augshugh Gazette. The States of the Prussian provinces of the line have been convoked for a near period, in order, it is thought, to demand a contingent of men and money. MADRID, April 10. The Count d'Espagne remains in Catalonia as Captain- General of the principality. He earnestly desired to be permitted to return to the capital as Commander- in- Chief of the Royal Guard, but the King would not accede to his request. His Majesty has named fourteen superior officers of that guard to the command of the most important points of Catalonia. HOUSE OF LORDS. THURSDAY, April 24— The Life Annuities Act went through a Committee, and ordered to be reported. Several petitions having been read, and ordered to lie on the table, the debate on the Test and Corporatian Act Repeal Bill was proceeded with. Lord Eldon expressed his determination to offer every opposition to the success of the Bill, which could Hot pass without producing a mighty effect on the Catholic Ques- tion. His Lordship moved two clauses— the first declar- ing that the Protestant Religion, as professed in England, was established permanently and inviolably ; the second, that all persons becoming Members of Corporations should declare themselves Protestants; for he pledged himself as a lawyer, that if this Bill passed, there was no law to prevent Roman Catholics from becoming Members of Corporations unless the charters of those Corporations ex- pressly provided against it. A long discussion arose, in which the Duke of Wel- lington stated that his opinion upon the subject of the Catholic Claims had undergone no change, but was pre- cisely the same as it had ever been. He disclaimed all intention of favoring the Catholics by admitting them into Corporations under the Bill, and thought their Lord- ships were bound not to suffer the Bill to pass without at least requiring an assertion, that the members of Corpo- rations were Protestants. A division took place, when the numbers appeared, For Lord Eldon's Amendment, 31 ; against it, 71. The Duke of Wellington afterwards moved the post- ponement of the debate till to- morrow, which was car- ried by 49 to 24— Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. THURSDAY, April24— A great number of petitions were presented in favour of and against Catholic Eman- cipation. . Mr. M. A. Taylor rose, pursuant to notice, to make his motion respecting the proceedings of the Court of Chancery; and after pointing out many reforms winch lie considered necessary, more particularly the separation of Bankruptcy causes from the business of the Court, con- cluded by moving, " That it appears to this House, both from the papers laid upon the table, as well from the evidence given before the Commissioners appointed under the authority of his Majesty, that, notwithstanding the establishment of the office of Vice- Chancellor in the year 1813, some farther steps are still necessary to advance the interests of suitors in equity, by affording a more prompt decision on their claims, and to enable the Court effectually to discharge the other duties connected with its jurisdiction." Mr. Peel said, inquiry had taken place, and the Com- missioners had made their report. In consequence of the recommendations contained in that Report the Lord Chancellor had made 83 orders. The Government had dope all they could to promote the object in view; but when the House considered what had been the situation of the Government during the last lix months, they must admit, that it was almost impossible that the Govern- ment could have made any beneficial changes in the Court of Chancery. There was undoubtedly in the Court of Chancery aiid in the Court of King's Bench a great arrear of business. These Courts wer<- overwhelmed with busi- ness, and three persons were considered insufficient to discharge the business. With respect to the intended changes, it was in contemplation to make the Court of Exchequer assist the Chancery in the disposal of Equity business. In the Exchequer the business was confined to a few Attorneys, or Clerks of the Court. It was in contemplation to admit the Attorneys of all the Courts to practise in the Exchequer upon Equity business. If, by the addition of another Judge in the Court of Ex- chequer for Equity business only, the Court of Chancery could be assisted,' and the arrear of causes wiped off, the change would be desirable; the project however would receive due consideration. The Right Hon. Gentleman was not unwilling to attend to a judicious reform, but he could not be governed by abstract propositions ; he should therefore meet with a direct negative the proposition of his Hon. Friend, and move the previous question. After a few words from Mr. Brougham, the Attorney and Solicitor General, Mr. H. Twiss, and Mr. Sugden, Mr. Taylor replied, and said, until some practically beneficial measures were adopted, he would unhesitat- ingly persevere in his humble efforts at improvement, lie had no personal object to answer— the public voice strenuously supported htm, and until the cnu he was de- termined to persevere. A division took place; when there appeared— for th2 previous question 91; for the motion 42— Maj. 49— Adj. London, FRIDAY, APRIL 25. The Marquis Loule and his wife, the Prin- cess Anne of Portugal, left the River for Calais on Sun- day morning by the Belfast steam- packet, and arrived OH the evening of the same day. Letters have been received from them to- day, stating that they would leave Mau. rice's hotel for Paris on Tuesday morning. As we long since said, we think the way is preparing for the Commandership- in- Chief by the Duke of Cumberland. Sir William Knighton's journey to Hanover, & c. had reference, we believe, to this object. The Crown would then have under its immediate con- trol the Army, Navy, Church, and Law— M. Herald. The presence of the Governor and Deputy- Governor of the Bank at the Cabinet Council of Tuesday, and their subsequent visit to the Treasury, have attracted some attention in the City. It is said the interview re- lated to a matter which is known to have been for some time past under the consideration of Ministers,— viz. the expediency of making payment in silver a legal tender to a greater extent than is at present prescribed by law, or even of making it a legal tender without any limitation as to amount. The Commissioners of Woods and Forests are about to sell the Crown Estate of Eckington, in the county of Derby, towards defraying the sums expended on the Royal Palaces. It is generally believed that the Penryn Dis- franchisement Bill will be thrown out in the House of Lands. There seems u strong feeling against it in that house. ... The double anniversary of the State birth- day of the King and the actual one of Shakspeare ( who was born and died on the 23d of April), was celebrated Jjy the performers of the Surrey Theatre, at Johnson's Coffee- house, 30 of whom sat down to an excellent dinner, Mr. Elliston in the chair, and Mr. Rayner vice- president.

The Chamber of Commerce of Newcastle- upon- Tyne lias determined to petition the Legislature on the impolicy of the Act which restrains the issue of One Pound Notes by Country Bankers, from the 6th of April , 1829 . On Tuesday the anniversary of the Refuge for the Destitute, was celebiated at the City of London Tavern, the Marquis of Lansdowne in the chair. 1 lie subscription amounted to upwardslot' 400/. amongstwhich was a donation of'}(. 1 « » from a female who had herself been once relieved by the Institution. The whole of the National Debt of the United States it expecUd lu be liquidated in 1835. Wednesday ( St. George's Day) being the day appointed by his Majesty for the celebration of his birth- day, the usual demonstrations of respect were observed throughout tile Metropolis, The bells < Jf the different parish churches continued ringing merry peals during tlie day ; the standard of England was hoisted at the public buildings and at the steeples of the churches. The day was observed as a holyday at all tlie public offices. The Courts of Law were merely opened as a matter of form, it being the first day of Term. The General Postmen appeared in new uniforms. About ten o'clock the bands of the three regiments of Foot Guards assembled at the Parade in St. James's Park, ill their state uniforms, and performed delightful pieces of music— the number of wind instruments, amounting to nearly one hundred, producing a very tine effect. Soon after the Guard was mounted, the state colours were brought out. All the men Were dressed in new regimentals. Notwithstanding the un- favourable state of the weather, there was a numerous assemblage of respectable company to witness the parade. In the flag yard of the Palace the concourse of people was immense. The bands then struck up " God save the King," and continued playing till near 12 o'clock; among the pieces were the Coronation Anthem of Handel, the Overture to Tancredi, and several airs from Semi- ramide. At one o'clock the Park and Tower guns fired a double Royal salute. The King had appointed Wednesday for holding a Drawing Room, which, owing to the length of time which has elapsed since the last was held, excited consi- derable interest throughout the country, great numbers having travelled a considerable distance in order to be present. Crowds of people assembled about all the ave nues leading to the Palace. Sir Richard Birnie, Messrs. Roe and Rogers, and Messrs. Townsendand Sayers, with numerous parties of police, and Mr. Lee, the High Con- stable of Westminster, with a large body of constables, were in attendance to keep the carriages in order and pre- serve the peace. About half- past one a detachment of Life Guards took up their station at the bottom of St. James's- street, and a detachmentof Royal Horse Guards in the court- yard adjoining Marlborough- House, each with their respective bands ill their state dresses. About twelve o'clock there were two rows of carriages in St. James's- street, filled with ladies anxtous to see those who were going to the Drawing Room ; the chain of carriages with company having even then reached some way up St. James's- street. By a quarter before one o'clock the chain had extended nearly to the top of Bond- street, although it was then three- quarters of an hour before the Palace gates would be opened, which took place about half- past one o'clock. The Marshalmen and Under- Porters appeared in new clothes. The Pages ap- peared in state uniforms. The Yeoman Guard appeared in their Coronation costume. The Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms lined the Presence Chamber and the entree, under the command of the Earl of Hereford, their Captain. The company continued arriving at both doors without intermission, until near three o'clock. On no former occasion was there so great a display of elegant dresses, more particularly as regards the magni- ficence of the ornaments of diamonds and other jewels worn by the ladies. Among the most splendid were those worn by the Duchess of St. Albans, who, in addition to a diamond tiara, had a stomacher of diamonds. The Marchioness de Palmella, Princess Esterhazy, the Duchess of Northumberland, Countess d'Alcudia, and Princess Lieven, had also spendid displays of diamonds. It being a gala day, the Knights of the different Orders wore their respective insignia, and there were several of the company whose breasts were nearly covered with ri- bands ami stars, particularly Prince Esterhazy, Marquis de Palmella, the Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Devonshire, Viscount Beresford, anil Lord Hill. Among those who came in state, were the Austrian, Russian, French, Spanish and Portuguese Ambassadors, the Duke of St. Albans, the Duke of Devonshire, the Lord Chancellor, and the Speaker of the House of Commons. At a quarter before two, the Duchess of Kent arrived in state, with her suite. Soon after, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester arrived in state; the Duke ap- peared in his Field Marshal's uniform, wearing several orders. Prince Leopold followed immediately after, dressed in a Field Marshal's uniform. Shortly after, the Duke and Duchess of Clarence came in state; his Royal Highness appeared in the uniform of Lord High Admiral. The King entered his closet about two o'clock, diessed in a Field Marshal's uniform, where he received the con- gratulations of his Royal relatives. The Duke of Cumberland appeared in the regimentals of the regiment of Royal Horse Guards, for the first time since his appointment as Colonel of that regiment, and was accompanied by his son, Prince George, who ap- peared in the regimentals of the Tenth Hussars. The Duke of Cumberland was presented to his Majesty on his appointment to the command of the Royal Horse Guards. The King then received those who have the privilege of the entree. His Majesty then proceeded to the Throne- room, and took his station in front of the throne, and received the numerous and brilliant presentations. At half- past four the King retired. THE ILLUMINATIONS.— On Wednesday even- ing the houses of his Majesty's tradesmen, and the Thea- tres and Hotels, were most generally illuminated; and many splendid exhibitions were displayed. Princess Sophia Matilda was prevented from attending the Drawing Room on Wednesday ill consequence of indisposition, arising from a severe cold. The dinners given by some of his Majesty's Ministers and the great Officers of State were all of a most splendid description. His Majesty's birth day has been celebrated throughout the country with every demonstration of loyalty and attachment to his Majesty's person and Government. The Duchess of Gloucester and Princess Sophia visited nis Majesty yesterday. The Duke of Cumberland took his seat yes- terday in the House of Lords. Description of the Dress worn at the Drawing- room by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester : Over an under dress of rich white satin a very splendid robe of white and silver lama, finishing at the bottom with an elegant garniture of the same matinet, intermixed with rich and brilliant gold tissue, separated in tasteful dis- tances by a light gold ribbon, terminating at the top of the garniture with bows of the same, and ears of gold corn. The front of the corsage of her Royal Highness's dress was entirely covered with superb medallions of costly brilliants, forming a stomacher, terminating at the point with a magnificent fringe of diamonds ; body and sleeves most elegantly trimmed with fine Brussels point lace and diamonds. The manteaux was composed of a most superb figured silver tissue, ornamented round with a rich border of gold: head dress, a magnificent plume of ostrich feathers, with a profusion of diamonds. The whole of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester's dress was of English manufacture, and had a magnificent effect. Lord Hill's Levee yesterday, as Commander of the Forces, was attended by eleven General and about thiry other Officers. The Marquis of Anglesea is at present highly popular with all parties in Dublin, and that city has been exceedingly gay since his arrival with grand dinner par- ties, routes, balls, & c. Buckingham Palace Royal Gardens.— These truly beautiful gardens are nearly of a triangular form, anil contain about fifty acres, the site of the Palace in- cluded. ' They exceed more than half a mile in length, measuring from the Triumphal Arch, or grand entrance to them from Piccadilly, to the Royal Mews, in Pimlico. Their width may be about the half of that. The only private entrance to them at present for State Visitors is through a small gate leading off Constitution Hill. There are a number of beautiful grottos, arbours, miniature labyrinths, private shaded walks and seats, with many other elegant works of art and curiosity, to be constructed during the ensuing season, and which, when completed, will give Buckingham Gardens a decided superiority over any others now known in or out of Europe. WHLLESLEY CASE.— The House of Lords was occupied yesterday in hearing Mr. Home, who opened the case for the appellant ( Mr. Wellesley) in this cause. He commenced his case by remarking on the painful situation in which Mr. Wellesley was placed by the de- cree of the Court of Chancery, and also on the important public principle involved in the question. He then pro- ceeded to animadvert oil the evidence of Dr. Bulkeley. He observed, that it was principally through the means of Dr. Bulkeley that the suspicions first arose in the mind of Mr. Bligh that Mr. Wellesley was carrying on an adulterous intercourse with his wife. The whole of the conduct of Dr. Bulkeley clearly showed that he much wished to blacken the Conduct of Mr. Wellesley in every possible way. The learned gentleman proceeded at considerable length to examine the affidavit of Dr. Bulkeley, to shew the inconsistencies in his conduct from his own evidence, and to declare the little credit he could attach to it. He said that the evidence of that person had had considerable effect on the Court of Chancery, but he trusted now that he should be able to show how little belief should be attached to his statements— Mr. Home's address occupied their Lordships' attention from ten till four, when tile further proceedings were adjourned to this day. Lord Eldon was present, and took notes us the learned Counsel proceeded in his argument. KING'S THEATRE.— On Wednesday evening, shortly after the doors were opened, the pit was crowded; of course great numbers were obliged to go into the gal- lery, which, in a short space of time, was completely filled. Long before the raising of the curtain the house was crowded in every part. We observed in the boxes several ladies with their plumes of feathers, who had evidently been at the Drawing- room. Mademoiselle Spntag performed, for the third time, Rosina in Rossini's delightful opera of the Barber of Seville, and her ex- quisitely beautiful notes in the last verse of " Ah, dolce concento," rivetted the attention of the audience as usual. Her singing of this verse is one of the most finished spe- cimens of what the voice is capable of— of any singer that we ever heard. It is in its kind unique— we never heard any thing to equal it, at least in our opinion. As we before mentioned, it is worth any person's while to go a considerable distance to hear Mademoiselle Sontag sing this verse only— Morning Herald. _ , Meetings of the different benefit societies in Plymouth and Devonport are about to be held, to petition Parliament against Mt. Courtenay's proposed Bill, The conspiracy against the Constitution o' Portugal proceeds as rapidly as circumstances permit. All the Authorities have received instructions to circulate the most treasonable papers— and to induce the people to invite Don Miguel to assume the Crown. St. Ubes has, for some time, been designated as the town which is to have the infamous pre- eminence, and to be the first to proclaim the absoluie King. The military governor pub- licly calls upon the civil officers of the town to act with- out the least delay, and to implore Don Miguel to pro- claim himself King. Of course, the military governor acts under the orders of Don Miguel and the Queen. It is in their palace that proclamations and placards are printed, and these are sent to all parts of the kingdom. Every official person is charged to see them circulated, Or stuck up throughout his district. Thus there is no doubt of the wishes and sentiments of Don Miguel and the Queen— Courier. On the 11th instant Lisbon remained per- fectly tranquil; but considerable apprehension was enter- tained in regard to the approaching celebration of the Queen's Birth- day ; of which occasion the Anti- constitu- tional party are expected to avail themselves to advance their purposes. We can positively state that the Russians, who were to have crossed the Pruth last week, have de- ferred doing so for another month, in consequence, it is said, of the remonstrances of England, Austria, and Prussia, which last state is beginning to take no small interest in the movements of her powerful neighbour.— St. James's Chronicle. It is . stated in a letter from Paris that Lord Cochrane is making every possible effort to organise a small force, with which he intends returning to Greece immediately. The Duke de Riviere, governor to the young Duke of Bourdeaux, died at Paris on Monday. The Duke was devoted to the cause of the Jesuits. DIEPPE, April 22.— This now fashionable watering- place is likely to be thronged early in the sum- mer. The Duchess de Berri and a host of French Nobility are to be here in June, and houses are already engaged for several English fashionables, among whom may be named— Lord Granville ( the British Ambassa- dor), the Earl of Pembroke, General Graham, Sir George Pigot, Admiral Walker, and Lady Rawson. The pas- sage by steam- vessels between Dieppe and Brighton is now very regular, and it is generally performed in nine or ten hours. Accounts from Norway state that the King of Denmark is about to resign his throne. Letters of the 31st ult. have been received from Malta, which announce the arrival there of a Rus- sian corvette from Naples, and that the whole of the Russian fleet had subsequently sailed from the harbour, but for what destination was not known. It was believed at Malta that the Russian squadron was no longer to act in concert with those of France and England. Tile Dart- mouth frigate had arrived at Malta, after an unusually short passage of eleven days from Portsmouth. Letters have been received from Vienna to the 15th inst. From these letters it appears that the Em- peror of Russia is expected at Warsaw about the 12th or 14th of May. From Warsaw it is said his Imperial Ma- jesty will proceed to Brody, a frontier town in Austrian Poland. At Brody he will meet the King of Prussia, and, some say, Prince Metternich. The Austrian Observer of the 10th inst. copies from the Universal Gazette of Greece of the 16th of Feb- ruary, a long proclamation by the President of Greece respecting the establishment of a national bank. Ill this proclamation the President, after urging the Greeks to unanimity and good conduct, for the purpose of rendering themselves worthy of the support of the great powers of Europe, and stating that the pecuniary aid which he has reason to expect from the three powers who signed the treaty of the 6th of July must be for some time delayed, proposes to form a bank, with a view to enable the Greeks to meet the exigencies of their position. The accounts from Frankfort, dated April the 11th, neither affirm or deny the news respecting the Emperor of Russia having suspended the crossing of the Pruth. They state that " the public securities of the dif- ferent States, negotiable at Frankfort, have been rising for some days; but the letters from different parts do not afford much hope that the so- long- talked- of passage of the Pruth by the Russian army will not take place; but in the eyes of many of our moneyed men, this probable event does not threaten such serious consequences as others apprehend from it. Letters have been received from Alexandria, to the 18th ult., which are rather of a warlike nature. The European residents were preparing for the blockade of that port by the combined fleets, as the Pacha was reported to have declared that he would implicitly obey the Sultan ; that the abandonment of the Morea could not be coniemplated, but that Col. Craddock might wait till the return of the special messenger sent to Constanti- nople with dispatches. A letter from Odessa, of 21st March, in the Austrian Observer, says—" The winter has been so severe, that that alone would have hindered the arrival and departure of ships, had the Turkish Goverment thrown no obstacles in the way. We have been much surprised this week by the arrival of several with goods under the Austrian and Russian flags, from Constantinople direct, " Unluckily, when the Bosphorus is again open, the hopes of our merchans are destroyed by the certainty of a breach between Russia and the Porte. Military prepara- tions are very active here and in the vicinity, and it has been reported for some days that the 13th of April is fixed for the crossing of the Pruth. Count Pahlin is making preparations to go forward with the army, being designed as we hear, for Governor of both Principalities." LISBON, April 11.— We have received ac counts from several quarters, stating that regular circu- lars are sent by the military governors to all the munici- palities, inviting them not to be the last in addressing a supplication to Don Miguel to proclaim himself King and absolute lord of these kingdoms, and to abolish the char- ter as contrary to our fundamental laws, and as being a production ot the faction which in 1820 usurped the so- vereignty. This fact leaves now no doubt that Sir Fre- derick Lamb's exertions to bring Don Miguel to the sense of his duty are completely lost. As soon as the ne. cessary quantity of addresses from the municipalities have been obtained, we shall hear Don Miguel say that he cannot resist the wishes of the nation. LISBON, April 12.— Several guerillas of formal rebels and assassins are already ravaging the provinces of Tras- os- Montes and Alemtejo, to second the circulars. They commit the greatest depredations and assassinations wherever the people are inclined in favour of Don Pedro. However, at Serpa, in the latter province, one of those guerillas met with general resistance, and was repulsed with the loss of ten men, who were shot; whilst in Tras- os- Montes, as they arc seconded by the natural disposi- tion of the inhabitants, the guerillas got the upper hand, and committed horrid cruelties. This is the beginning only of our tragic drama. VIENNA, April 12.— Letters were received yesterday from Odessa, which say, that the breach be- tween Russia and the Porte is unavoidable, and that the Russian army has received orders to commence hostilities ill the 1st ( 13th) of April, by passing the Pruth. Count Von Pahlin, Governor of Odessa, ( as we have already mentioned in the Allgemeine Zeitung,) is appointed Go- vernor- General of the Principalities. This news, which is given in the Austrian Observer of to- day, has had the effect of depressing our funds. FRONTIERS of TURKUY, April 5.— The mail from Constantinople of the 26th March, and expresses from Bucharest of the 3d of April, have been received, but contain nothing of importance. Tranquillity pre- vailed at Conetantinople. and the Divan, which had lately offered to the Greeks, through the Patriarch, something like the conditions of the 6th July, 1827, only avoiding the intervention of Foreign Powers, continues its prepa- rations for defence, in the conviction that it cannot avoid a war with Russia. It seems, indeed, that it has given up all hopes of preserving peace with Russia ever since the battle of Navarin, which the Turks consider as a Russian victory. FRANKFORT, April 16.— There is now no doubt of the Russians having passed the Pruth. The news has been again circulated to- day. The last Calcutta papers give the most me- lancholy accounts of the effects of extensive and destruc- tive storms which had visited that part of the world. At Bombay, the loss of lives has been truly awful; between three and four hundred persons at least have perished in the harbour. At Madras, scarcely a single ship in the roads escaped damage : five vessels were on shore, total wrecks ; and two had not been heard of. Van Dieman's Land papers to the 29th of December, have arrived. A very plentiful harvest had tieen secured, and the colonists appear to have adopted the language of some agriculturists ; they complain that the price of grain is much below " a remunerating ave- rage." The French discovery ships remained in port on the 28th December. His Excellency the Governor had ordered a stamp duty of 2d. per sheet on each newspaper, which it is sta ed was for the purpose of suppressing some publications tkat indulged in too much freedom as to the liberty of the aubject and the abuses in the Government. The whale fishery had lately been very successful on the coasts of NEW South Wales and Van Dieman's Land, and one of the papers congratulates the " Tasmanians" on the last accounts from England, asserting, in a tone of colonial pleæsantry, " that whalebone had advanced to 200/. per ton. and was likely to be much higher, on account of the sate of society in Britain ; that the ladies had put on amour against the freedom assumed by the gentlemen, and that the beaux had lately incased them- selves in the sane impenetrable stuff." A new bank, capital 15,000/., had been established at Hobart Town. Several distilleries had been erected. Haytor Mite, Devon.— A new iron mine has been lately opened in a field contiguous to the former mine, belonging to another proprietor, affording ores ol the richest quality. The estate which produces this trea. sure has heretofore been let for about 50/. a year, but it is now estimated to be worth 20,0110/. In working this mine, some minirals of most extraordinary high lustre were a few days since explored, especially a few topaz quartz crystals, eiual in colour and brilliancy to Brazil topazes. Montgomery, who stands charged with utter- ing forged notes, las been fully committed for trial to Newgate. PLYMOUTH.— By the St. Andrew brig, Deiper, which arrived here on Friday night from Sierra Leone, after a passage of fifty- one days, we learn that there had been a great deal of sickness in the colony after the rainy season, but very few deaths. Very favourable accounts had been received from Fernanda Po, in which settlement there had not occurred a single death, although the rains had been excessive. The natives, who seemed to be of a gentle nature, had manifested a most friendly disposition, and Captain Owen was sanguine in his expectation of making the settlement permanent and successful. He hail sent for many more mechanics from Sierra Leone, and the latter place had consequently been deprived of many useful inhabitants. Mrs. Kilhem, who went out to Sierra Leone about five months since, for the purpose of making herself acquainted with the native language, in order to pave the way for the instruction of the natives in the English language through the medium of their own, has returned in the St. Andrew, having been most successful in the object of her voyage. She has brought home thirty specimens of the dialects, and means to form an English and African Dictionary. The specimens, as Mrs. Kilhem terms them, are the words or sounds used by the natives to express the most familiar objects or ideas. IRELAND.— The progress which education has made in Ireland, within the last 20 years, is perfectly astonishing. From the returns made by the clergy, in 1808, the number of scholars attending all the schools was estimated at 200,000; it was found to be 304,813, when the general census was taken in 1821 ; and in 1824 it had risen to 560,542, according to returns made by the established clergy, and to 588,064, according to those made by the Catholic priests; the amount of education has thus been almost tripled In sixteen years. THE NEW SERIES OF CHRONICLES OF THE CANONGATE. The Chronicle about to appear ( within a month) is, we now learn, entitled St. Valentine's Day, or, the Fair Maid of Perth, which single story extends through the three volumes. The time is the reign of Robert III. of Scotland ; and, as might be suppossed, the town of Perth is the principal seene. Among the characters are the Duke of Albany, the unfortunate Duke of Rothsay, the renowned Black Douglas, and many other remarkable personages of that day. A very inter- esting love tale is interwoven throughout the whole web of this narrative: Henry Wynd, the celebrated fighting man, i. i the Tales of a Grandfather, is the hero; and the author has never excelled himself in what he has here done with the said Henry,— the poor king, Robert,— and the hapless Rothsay.— Edinburgh Paper. Sir Walter Scott has engaged to furnish two tales and a poem for the annual publication called The Keepsake, for which he is to be paid the almost incredible sum of 1000 guineas! Well might Johnson say there were no Maecenases but the booksellers. Mr. KEAN, JUNIOR.— This evening Mr. Kean, junior, makes his first bow to a Dublin audience, in the character of Young Norval. He is only 17 years of age ; the part is, therefore, well suited to his age and appear- ance. We are informed that he strongly resembles liis father, both in his personal attributes and his style of acting. He has had the advantage of a very liberal edu- cation at the Classic Seminary of Eton, and has lately received the benefit of . his father's instructions in all the characters he has performed in London Dublin paper. It appears from the concurrent testimony of preceding navigators, as well as the late Russian navigator Kotzebue, who explored the Pacific Ocean recently in various directions, that a constant formation of new islands is going on ill the great Pacific Ocean, through the combined efforts of volcanic agency and the production of coral reefs of rocks. From the Philippine Islands to the Moluccas, the formation is almost entirely volcanic, while the small islands to the southward of New Guinea are almost entirely produced by the astonishing operations of that minute animal the coral insect. Printing for the Blind.— Some time since a Committee was appointed to examine the books invented and printed by Mr. Gall, for the use of the blind, and the mode of writing on paper, by which they can com- municate with each other. This Committee state, that the boys they examined, after a few weeks practice, and regular teaching, were able to read with their fingers as well as boys possessing their sight could be expected to do under similar circumstances. They also found that the method of writing or communicating with the blind upon paper, is easy and effective, and, from the univer- sality of its application it promises, when reading by the blind shall become familiar, to be an art of great practi- cal utility. SINGULAR TASTE.— On Monday the 24th ult. died, advanced in years, Mr. Thomas Hall, farmer, of Cewbit. The deceased was a person of eccentric habits, and a friend to vermin. Upwards of sixty rats have been seen feeding at one time at his pig troughs; and for se- veral years he has had a manure heap in his yard, which he constantly kept up as a hot bed for snakes; several of which at the same time have been seen creeping about his premises with the greatest confidence, no one being allowed to disturb them Cheltenham Chron., April 24. At one of the recent assizes, the following charge was delivered to the jury by a learned Judge who is celebrated for exercising his attention on different sub- jects at the same time. The recollection of the tone of Liston's voice in some of his mock heroics, and his eye " in a fine phrenzy rolling," will fill up the sketch for the imagination of the reader. " Gentlemen of the jury, the prisoner at the bar, is indicted for—( Hist— hist— pray don't— be silent)— horse- stealing, that is a black mare. This is a capital charge, gentlemen— which affects ( That man hammering below must stop)— his life,— a gentlemen—( I can't go on— I can't hear myself speak. Make way I say, make way there, for MR. ) You must take care, gentlemen, that in— a-^ deciding on this case, your conclusions are— a— drawn from the evi- dence that—( Those dogs below ought really to kept quiet) — the prisoner at the bar is tile person, who—( Really, really, Mr. Under Sheriff)— was guilty of the offence he is charged with. You have it in evidence, that on the night of the 14th, the prisoner was seen near the premises of the prosecutor, and—( This Cout is insufferably hot) next morning he was found 10 miles off—( Pull down that window there, don't stand laughing at me like a great fool)— in possession of the black horse— mare, I mean. Thus you see it is a case of recent possession, which, if you believe the witnesses, leaves very little doubt of what your duty should be—( Mr. Under- Sheriff, I'll fine you if they let any more into the gallery, it is too full already)." In the Court of King's Bench, on Wednes- day, Messrs. Ullock and Co. wine- merchants, obtained a verdict, with 659/. damages, against a foreigner named Reddelain, residing at Lubeck, being the amount of wines sold for Pauliac of the finest quality, which proved to be very inferior, and in the purchase of which the plaintiff's had been greatly deceived. LIBEL.— A writ of enquiry was last week executed at the Swan inn, Wells, before— Lovett, Esq. the Under Sheriff, to assess damages in a case of libel, in which the Rev. J. Lloyd was the plaintiff, and Mrs. M. Meyler, the proprietor of the Bath Herald, was the de- fendant. The action arose out of a paragraph which ap- peared in that paper in October last, cautioning the pub- lic against the plaintiff as an impostor, and an unfit ob- ject for charity. The defendant, in order to save ex- pense, had suffered judgment to go by default; but it having'ttcen proved that the plaintiff hail been living for years in n state concubinage during the life of his wife, and that he had been recently convicted by the Magistrates of the district of Lawford's Gate, as a rogue and a vaga- bond, for having endeavoured to obtain money under false pretences, and that he had been sentenced by them to one month's, imprisonment for the offence, the Jury found a verdict for the- plaintiff, wilh only one shilling damages. BURGLARY.— In the absence of the family, during divine worship, on Sunday last, the dwelling- house of Mr. Ralph Swatridge, butcher, of Rampisham, Dorset, was burglariously entered, and cash to the amount of 33/. with two gold rings, & c. were stolen therefrom. Shepherd, the Yorkshire runner, can be backed against any man in England, to run two miles, for one or two hundred sovs. He lately ran five miles in twenty- seven minutes & thirty- seven seconds, at Enfield. The cuckoo was heard in the neighbourhood of Dorchester last week. BIRTH.] The Lady of the Right Hon. the Lord Chancellor, of a daughter. DIED.] Lady H.

FRIDAY, April 25— Several petitions were presented against the Catholic claims. The Karl of Radnor presented petitions from Reading and Whitehaven, praying for religious liberty.' On the motion for re- consideiing the Report of the Committee on the Test Acts, Lord Eldon renewed his former motion, that the words " being a Protestant," be inserted in the second clause of the Bill. After some discussion, their Lordships divided :— Against the Amendment 117; for it M; Majority— 62. Another amendment moved by the Earl of Winchilsea was lost.— The 3rd reading of the bill was then ordered for Monday.— Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. FRIDAY, April 25.— Several petitions were presented against the Catholic claims, ami against the Friendly Societies Bill. The House having resolved itself into a Committee on the resolutions respecting the Corn Laws, Mr. Benett proposed a duty of 24s. 4d. when the price was at Olis. When the price was above 62s. he would propose that the duty should be at least 2s. with the advance of Is. His duty, therefore, would be IDs. 8d., which is 3s. below the price proposed by Government. The Hon. Member stated a graduated scale of reduction for the prices up to 72s. The duty proposed by him would give a protection of 2s. more than that proposed by Government. Mr. Portman supported his Hon. Friend, the Member for Wiltshire's, amendment. After considerable discussion, a division took place on Mr. Benett's amendment, when there appeared:— For it 30; against it 232 ; Majority 202. Mr. Portman proposed, as an amendment, that 2*. be the descending duty, instead of 1 » — Negatived— Adj. London. SATURDAY, APRIL 2G. For two or three days past the Question of the Currency has engaged the attention of the monied interest in the City. All that we think it necessary to say at present is, that this Question, as connected with the Corn Question, & c., is one of those very important matters which, of course, have not escaped the considera- tion of Government — Courier. There is a report that the King of Spain has expressed his entire disapprobation of the conduct of Don Miguel, and we are inclined to give credit to the rumour. — Courier. The Qnotidienne mentions the arrival at Florence of M. Ribeaupierre, the late Russian Am- bassador at the Porte, wnich seems to indicate that the Emperor lias no intention of renewing the negotiations with Turkey. The acConnts in the French papers of Wed- nesday from Odessa, of the 31st tilt., and from St. Pe- tersburgh of the 7th of April, agree in representing it to be the intention of the Czar to persevere in his hostile movements to the very frontiers of Turkey. His Ma- jesty had not left his capital, but active preparations were making for his departure; the transports to convey hi3 troops and ammunition to the mouths of the Danube had also sailed for the Crimea. It was understood, however, that the passage of the Pruth would not take place before the end of this month ; that the armies of Russia would occupy the principalities, and from the banks of the Danube would announce its final proposals to the Ottoman Power before proceeding to decide them by arms. It is said that the Russian Government will be guided in its * ets and determinations by a strict regard to the treaty of intervention, and the interests of the Allies. ( From the Banks of the Danube, 13th April.) " Austria, which is the most immediately concerned in the war which threatens to break upon its frontiers, is taking all necessary measures in the expectation of this contingency. By a rough estimate, the force which that Power has concentrated in the Buckowina, the Bannat of Temeswar, Sclavonia, and Croatia, may be token at 130,01) 0 men : but, above all, the Cordon formed on the frontiers of Servia, presents a formidable appearance; for, besides the 17 frontier regiments which were raised to their full complement, three or four months ago, by order of the Aulic Council of War, this Cordon has now been reinforced with 40,000 troops of the line, consisting principally of Hungarian regiments: this line is also completely provided with field artillery, of which con- siderable parks have been formed in the vicinity of Te- meswar and Semlin. Nine regiments of infantry and five of cavalry, forming part of the army in Italy, " have just received orders to quit their cantonments on the Po, and in other parts of the kingdom of Lombardy and Venice. They arc to repair to Venice, and some other parts of the Adriatic, to be embarked directly tot the coasts of Dalmatia." MARSEILLES, April 15.— The continnation of the war with Algiers injures the commerce of this city most materially. The freighting of vessels on account of the Government, is still going on with expedition, and tlie same activity prevails at Toulon in arming and pro- visioning ships. The report that the Government of the United States intend to form an important establishment in the Medi- terranean gains ground ; and it is now said that the is- land of Poros has been fixed upon for' the purpose, with the consent of the Grand Seignor. Most of the hotels at Paris are full of English : there are more there now than last year at the same period. The Memoirs of the Duke of Rovigo ( Savary. Minister of Police under Napoleon), of which the publi- cation has been delayed many years from various circum. stances, are about to appear. The Emperor Nicholas has addressed an Order of the Day to the Army of the Caucasus, in which he praises their valour, and, in testimony of his appro- bation, has ordered medals, inscribed '' For the war in Persia," to be delivered to every individual who has served in the campaigns of 1820, 1827, and 1828. Advices from Bucharest of the 28lh instant, contradict, as was to be anticipated, the reports of the Russians having crossed the Danube to destroy the Turkish magazines near Galaez. They further affirm, that if a revolt has taken place in Servia, it has not been excited by the Russians. Light- House, on Caldy Island.— The Trinity Board has now determined to build a light- house on Caldy Island, near Tenby, for which preparations are commenced. The site is selected, and arrangements made for the supply of stones, & c. The accomplishment of this object lias long been wished for. Several miners lately returned to Cornwall from Colombia and Mexico, speak in most favourable terms of the abundance and quality of the copper ore foimd in Colombia, but the accounts from the Mexican mines are less promising. Numerous flocks of swallows have made their appearance in the neighbourhood of Exeter. A farmer in the Hebrides sometime ago dis- covered that a few stalks of wild mint scattered up and down among his stacks, completely preserved them from the ravages of mice.— Scotch paper. A cargo of pilchards is about leaving Pen- zance for the Mediterranean market. A shipment so late in the season was never before known. It is in suggestion to establish another line of London traders at Plymouth, the increased trade and wants of the town calling for more frequent communica- tion with the great mart of the world. The present tra- ders have proved by their very profitable returns to be excellent property. Extensive Embezzlement.— W. Ford, holding a confidential situation in the firm of Boyd and Co. Skinner- street for upwards of fourteen years, was fully committed by the Lord Mayor to Newgate for trial on Wednesday, charged with embezzling 30/. the property of his employers. There were other similar charges against the prisoner— one i'or embezzling 103/.; and it was stated there were charges of a still more setious na- ture, but the prosecutors did not press them at present. One of the firm stated that, independent of I he embez- zlements, the prisoner had been supplying all his friends with Irish linens, dimities, Ac. from the prosecutors' stock, which lie had never entered in the books. BANK ROBBERS.— It is understood that the robbers of Ranks and Bank parcels, form a gang uncon- nected with any other set of thieves, and the receivers of the plunder are distinct from the other receivers of stolen property. This svstemised confederacy has agents in various parts of the country, which accounts lor the correctness of their intelligence. At the East Kent quarter sessions, before Sir E. Knatchbull, Bart, and a full Bench of Magistrates, William Leach and James Wilson were sentenced to transportation for fourteen years for fowl- stealing. MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.— Two marriages, now the topic of conversation in the fashionable circles, are to take place next month : Lord Forester's daughter to Mr. Biddulph, of Chirk Castle, in Wales— and Lieut- Colonel Bulkeley, eldest son of Mr. and Lady Georgina Bulkeley, to Lady Catherine Bouverie. The Duke of Bedford has had another para lytic attack, which took place on Saturday.— M. Paper, Mr. Geo. Robins, on Thursday, sold the large Somersetshire estate, at the Auction Mart, for 64,000 guineas. Jas. Adam Gordon, Esq. was the purchaser. During the spring and autumn, Madame Ca- talani purposes remaining ill London ; after which she will make a provincial tour. Towards the end of autumn this " Queen of Song" will visit Ireland. A celebrated coachmaker in the Haymarket, who lately made a trip to Paris, partly on business, and partly on pleasure, received orders for no less than fifteen new carriages from French families of the highest dis- tinction. The principal singers engaged for Hereford Triennial Music Meeting are, Madame Caradori Allen, Miss Paton, Mrs. Wm. Knyvett( late Miss Travis), Miss Marian Cramer, pupil of Madame de Miinck ; Mr. Braham, Mr. Vaughan, Mr. Wm. Knyvett, Mr. Bel- lamy, Mr. Taylor, and Signor de Begnis. BRISTOL SHIP- OWNER'S SOCIETY.— At the annual meeting of this Society, held on Monday last, at the Commercial Rooms, among the proceedings of the day, it was unanimously resolved, That it is the opinion of tills meeting, that the Reciprocity Treaties with the Northern States of Europe are highly detrimental to the British Shipping Interest, and have most materially aug- mented its distress. One of the most extraordinary instances ever known of the depreciation of property occurred in the foreign market on Saturday, in the instance of the shares ill the Tlalpuxahua Mining Company, on which 270/. has been paid, and which were sold that day at from 20 » . to 25 » . each. Caution to Drivers of Waggons and Carts.— Several drivers of waggons and carts have lately been summoned before the Bathforum Magistrates, and fined in mitigated penalties, for neglecting to fasten to their carriages, dogs which attend them on the turnpike road. The unfortunate criminal Millard, now under sentence of death in our gaol, has confessed that he was the person who passed the counterfeit bank- note for which Bryant was tried at our late assizes.— Bristol Gazette, April 23. Preservation of Life by a Dog.— A few days ago, as some children were playing upon the banks of the mill stream at Pool Quay, near Welsh Pool, two of them fell in. There were some persons on the opposite side of the river ( Severn), but the water being high they could not rescue the children, who must have perished but forthe sagacity of a dog belonging to the factory, who jumped in and laid hold of the child nearest to him, which he brought to the shore. The noble animal im- mediately rushed in to the rescue of the other, which he piovidentially accomplished. CORN- EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, April 25. There has been a good arrival of Wheat this week, and the trade is on the whole dull, and rather lower than otherwise. Barley, Beans, and Peas, support Monday's prices; and Oats are taken off on quite us good terms, the supply this week being very limited. Wheat, Essex Red, new, 42s. to 50s; Fine, 52s to 1) 2*.; White, 45s to 56s ; Fine. 60s to 65s ; Superfine, tilts to 68s— Barley, 2fls to 32s; Fine, 34s to 36s- Pease, Hog, 31s to 35s; Maple, 35s to 3Ks ; White, 38s to 4Cs; Boilers, 43s to 46s— Beans, Small, 44s to 48s— Oats, Feed, 17s to 2Cs; Poland, 1 < J3 to 21s ; Potato, 25s to 26s. SMITHFIELD, FRIDAY, April 25. Our supply to- day is but short, though quite sufficient for the demand— The prices of Monday are, however, supported, though with much difficulty, for everything excepting the very choicest Lambs, and for these 7s. is currently given: the inferior ones are lower, with a heavy disposal. A very few calves may have gone a trifle beyond our quotation, but 5s. 8d. is the general price for good ones.

SWANWICH, April 24.— We can with unlimited confidence assert the pleasing prospect of the early com- mencement of the season at this universally admired watering place, as several most respectable families have announced their intention of very soon visiting it. Various improvements have been made ill the Manor House Hotel during the past winter, and it now may truly be said to combine every comfort and convenience from its peculiar and delightful situation. The Hotel commands most extensive sea and land views, and there are cold and warm baths in the house. Pleasure boats of every description are to be had at the shortest notice.

On Monday last a serious accident occurred ill this city to the son of John Fleming, Esq., one of the County Members: the young gentleman, whilst walking in South Gate- street was met by a greyhound at full speed, which ran between his legs, and threw him with great force on the back part of his head against the curb of the paving; he was taken up in a state of insmsibility, and conveyed to the residence of Mr. G. K. Lyford, sur- geon. where he remained some time; we feel much plea- sure in stating that he is now in a fair way of recovery. On Tuesday last the Rev. W. Thorn was or- dained pastor over the Di « senting Church and congrega- tion, worshipping in Parchment- street, in this city. The Rev. Mr. Adams, of Hast End, offered the ordination prayer; the Rev. Mr. Griffin, of Portsea, delivered the charge to the minister; and ton the subsequent evening) the Rev. Mr. Adkins, of Southampton, addressed the people on their duties to the pastor. The services were unusually interesting; the chapel was crowded with res- pectable persons from various parts of the county, and nearly thirty ministers were present on the occasion. On Wednesday last the Hants Association of the Congregational Ministers and Churches was also held in Winchester. At seven o'clock in the morning there was a public breakfast at the Black Swan; after which a meeting was held of the Hants Sunday School Union, when a luminous report was read br the secre- tary, and several eloquent speeches were delivered by the gentlemen present. At half- past ten an excellent sermon was preached in I lie dissenting chapel by the Rev. Mr. Bishop, of Newport, I. W. on " the Doctrine of Assurance;" and the sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered to the members of Christian Churches of different denominations.

Withers v. Elgar.— Oa Friday the 18th inst. a Writ of Inquiry of Damages in this case was executed at the Angel Inn, Lymington. It appeared that the action was brought by the plain- tiff, a farmer of Boldre, against the defendant, a gentle- man residing near Lymington, his landlord, to recover a compensation in damages: 1st, for a distress and sale at the farm at Boldre for more rent than was due after tender made of the right rent; 2dly, for a distress for double rent upon a notice to quit given; 3dly, for hold- ing possession under the last distress ( which was aban- doned) longer than allowed by law. Mr. B. Pepper, attorney for the plaintiff, stated the case to the Jury; and much evidence was adduced in aggravation of damages- Mr. J. H. Richman, who was engaged on this inquiry for the defendant, made a strong appeal to the Jury, and amongst other, produced evidence shewing the insolvency of the plaintiff, in mitigation of damages. Verdict for tile plaintiff, damages 100/. Withers v. Pocock.— The same evening a Writ of of Inquiry of Damages was executed in this case. The action was brought by the same plaintiff against Mr. Pocock, a respectable agriculturist, of Beaulieu. Ry the statement of Mr. B. Pepper, the plaintiff's at- torney, and the evidence, it appeared that the plaintiff sought to recover damages for a trespass committed by the defendant on the same farm, by his men with teams going thereupon and forcibly carrying away a consider- able quantity of manure into one of the plaintiff's fields, and spreading it thereupon by way of taking possession of the farm after notice to quit, instead of resorting to the usual remedy by action of cieetmcnt It was proved that the defendant was indemnified by tlie landlord. Mr. J. H. Richman, who was retained by the defendant o: i the occasion of this inquiry, after a strict cross- exa- mination of the plaintiff's witnesses, addressed the Jury against any but nominal damages. Verdict for the plaintiff, damages 50/. Romsey market on Thursday was well sup- plied with fat sheep and lambs, but the sale was dull. Mutton fetched from lid. to 7d„ lamb from ild to lOd. per lb.
