ALetter from Toulon, received at Mar- seilles, on the Uth inst. announces as certain, the hews of peace between France and the Regency of Algiers. The Augsburg Gazette has the following letter from Berlin:—" It is said that our Court has addressed to the ( treat Powers a declaration, in which it defends the mili- tary measures adopted by Russia against the Porte, and expresses its disapprobation of the conduct latterly pur- sued by Turkey." . A leport is spread, and several journals repeat it this morning, that on May 3, in the evening, Don Miguel Issued a Decree for the convocation of the three estates of the kingdom. It is said that, on the Bth, the members of the Diplomatic Body, including the Minister of Spain, had addressed a note to the Infant Don Miguel, to inform him that their functions had ceased. VIENNA, May 6.— An Austrian courier, who left St. Petersburg on the 25th of April, brings the news that the Emperor would leave St. Petersburg on the 7th of this month for Odessa, and would probably be with the army on the 18th. The Russian army had orders to pasa the Pruth on the 7tli of May, and to cross the Danube a t the same time at Ismael and Galatz. London. MONDAY, MAY 19. Cabinet Councils were held on Saturday and yesterday, in Downing- street. A Cabinet Council will be held this evening at the Foreign Office. Hamburgh papers just received contain the order of tile dav issued by the Emperor Nicholas at St. Petersburgh, after having reviewed his Guard, 1.30,000 strong), and conducted them with the Empress « nd the Grand Duke Michael out of the capital, in the midst of the enthusiastic shouts of the soldiers and the people., The Emperor was to leave St. Petersburgh ou the 7th inst. anil to reach the army on the 18th lit Ismiel. Or- ders had previously been issued for the passaf e of the Prutli and the Danube simultaneously, at four (.' clock in the morning of the 7th, when the troops were to begin their march immediately through the shortest road to Constantinople. In order to meet the contingencies of any unexpected prolongation of the war, a niiw levy of two men out of every five hundred has been ordered throughout the Russian empire. Accounts from Constantinople to the 13th uit. state that the warlike preparations by Turkey were con- tinued, and that the Sultan continued to display the most unbending disposition. Every thing was trarfquil in the capital. A letter from Odessa, dated tlif; 28th of April, states that all the vessels in the port, including English, had been taken up by the Government for three months. Although the purposes of their donation had not been officially notified, it was well / mown in the place that they were intended for the transport of military stores and provisions to Sizopoli, a Turkish seaport, si- tuated a little more than half- way between Odessa and Constantinople. BERLIN, May 6.— Letters from St. Peters- burgh, of April 24, say, that the preparations both in Bessarabia and Georgia for the approaching campaign arc more considerable than Russia ever made before, and that it never displayed such a force even in a war against France. It seems certain that the Danube will be passed in several places, and that General Paskewitch will ad- Vance from Erserum. Accounts from Lisbon of t'ne 30th April state that great agitation still prevailed in that capital, and that the altercations of parties bec: tme more violent; the project of the Absolutists was to convoke the Cortes ac cording to the old form, to pu'. the question to the vote whether according to the Constitutions of Lamego, Don Miguel should be invested with the royal authority. Letters from Malta, dated 2' 2d uit., state that the Admirals of the English and French squadrons had orders, whenever they heard that the Russian army had ciossed the Pruth, to separate themselves from the Russian squadron. The Malacca Observer of 6th Nov. reports the discovery of a gold mine in the district belonging to the Company. It is in the neighbourhood of the Mount of Ophir, which was formerly renowned for its gold, but the mine has long been exhausted and abandoned. The Duke of St. Albans presided on Saturday at the Highland School Society anniversary: 700/. were subscribed, including IU01. from the Duke of Buccleugh. The Parks were yesterday very much crowded, though the high wind proved annoying to the Parisian draperies of the London belles. White silk was ( lie pre- vailing colour for dresses. A private of the Royal African Corps was landed at Portsmouth last week from Sierra Leone, in confinement on his own confession of murdering a man at Haverhill, Suffolk, five years ago. Upwards of ' 200 agricultural labourers and their families, from Kent and Essex, embarked lust week at Portsmouth for New York; 500 more from inland counties, are ready to sail for the same destination. It appears by Halifax papers, that the Pro- vince of Nova Scotia, according to a late census, has doubled itself in the number of inhabitants since 1817; the number of souls is 143,848. Hay- making is commenced in Middlesex: hiore than a fair average crop is expected; the clovers are particularly fine. John Hunts, a clerk in the Post- Office, was this day fully committed for trial, on a charge of having stolen 130'. from a letter which passed through his hands. An order was forwarded from the Home Department, on Saturday evening, to Newgate, an- nouncing a respite for Smith, alias Eastwood, during his Majesty's pleasure, and commuting his sentence to trans- portation fot life.

BUCKINGHAM lias the pleasure 1* A. to announce that, in compliance with a very ge- neral demand for some one improved DAILY EVEN- ING PAPER uniting the advantages now only to be found scattered through many, he has given his attention to the preparation of a New Daily Journal, to be called ' THE ARGUS,' and persuades himself that he has devised a plan of greater originality, comprehensiveness, variety, and general convenience, than any hitherto attempted The full details of this plan will be found in a printed Prospectus, to be had of all Booksellers and Newsmen in the Kingdom ; and a Specimen Number of the Paper itself will shortly be deposited for inspection at all the Public Libraries, Institutions, Coffee- Houses, and Read- ing- Rooms in England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, 50,000 copies being intended to be printed immediately for that purpose. It is sufficient here to observe, that the prin- cipal features of novelty in ' THE ARGUS' will be : 1st. That it will embrace nearly as much matter as the largest M orning Paper ever published. 2dlv. That, in consequence of these enlarged limits, it will include every class of in- formation, Political, Literary, Scientific, and General, each arranged, in a peculiar manner, under its respective head. 3dly. That each number will be so printed, as lo be capable of separation into Two Distinct Sheets,— one to be the Department of Public Records, and the other the Department of General News, each perfect in itself, and, therefore, serving the complete purpose of Two Separate Papers,— an advantage which no existing Jour- nal possesses, and which cannot fail to render ' THE ARGUS' ( supposing it to contain no other feature of supe- riority) peculiarly acceptable to all places in Which Daily Papers are taken for the perusal and accommodation of more than one individual. The First regular Number of ' THE ARGUS' ( at the ordinary price of Sevenpence) will appear on MONDAY, the 30th of JUNE, and the Specimen Number ( for gratuitous distribution) on the 30th of May ; the interval being intended to be employed in seeing all the necessary arrangements for its active and energetic continuation completed, in such a manner as to ensure success. As the Specimen Number will admit only the limited portion of Advertisements for which a certain space is intended to be allotted in tire regular Paper itself, and as such an opportunity of extensive cir- culation in any one Paper is, perhaps, never likely to occur again, early application is recommended, as pre- ference will be given in the order of priority alone, and no Advertisements will be in time after the 25th of May. Further details may be learnt at the Office of Publication, 147, Strand, London. 1 The ORIENTAL HERALD," which is confined chiefly to the discussion of questions connected with India anil its Affairs, and the communication of Intelligence from all parts of the Eastern World, forming an Octavo Num- ber of 200 page*, and containing more matter than cither ' The Edinburgh,' or ' Quarterly Review,' will still, as heretofore, continue to be published Monthly, at is. per Number. 4 The SPHYNX,' which is a General, Political, and Literary Newspaper, containing the condensed essence of the News of the Day, for the accommodation of those for whom a Daily Paper is too expensive, and a weeklv one not sufficiently frequent, will continue to be published, as at present, Tzeice a week; namely on Wednesday and Saturday Evenings. Price id. per Number. ' The ATHENÆUM,' which is a Periodical devoted exclusively to Literature, Science, and Art, will also be continued on its original and present plan, and published Once a Week; namely, on Wednesday Mornings, when no other Literary Journal appears. Price if stamped for circulation free of postage, li., and unstamped, 8d. per Number. ' The VERULAM,' a Weeklv Periodical of the same size nnd price, originally devoted to Scientific Informa- tion alone, being now incorporated with ' THE ATHE- NÆUM,' an additional attraction will be given to this, by their union of interests and powers. Of the character of these two Journals, it will be sufficient tn give the fol- lowing passage, from the last Number of 1 The Edin- burgh Review,' in an article on the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, understood to be written by Mr. Brougham. In characterising the principal Weekly Periodicals of the day as being of very ordinary merit, he makes the fol- lowing exceptions : ' Mr. Buckingham's ' ATHENÆUM' is of a much * superior cast, and, it may be hoped, will meet with all * the success the great merits and persecutions of its ex- 1 ceilent Conductor are well entitled to look for at the 4 hands of Englishmen. But " THE VERULAM" pro- 4 fesses a higher aim, and, indeed, a wider scope, being 4 devoted to Science as well as Learning.' For the accommodation of such individuals, or Public Institutions, as may be disposed to become Subscribers to either of these Publications, from the commencement of the approaching half- year, a New Series and a New Volume of each will be entered on at that period, July 1, 1828, so as to prevent the necessity of their purchasing any of the previous Numbers; after which no surplus copies will be printed beyond the actual number required for the supply of regular Subscribers, who are therefore requested to give early intimation of their wishes.

It will afford peculiar nourishment to the leather, and, if well laid on with clean brushes, it * ill not soil the most delicate skin, or the finest linen.

The Duke of Wellington moved that the Lord Pre- sident, the Duke of Devonshire, Earl Grey, the Earl of Eldon, Earl Vane, the Bishop of Durham, and Lord Colchester, be appointed to confer with the House of Commons, in the Painted Chamber, in compliance with the resolution which their Lordships had agreed to on Friday last.— Agreed to. A discussion then took place as to the proper time for taking into consideration the resolution tlmt had been en- tered into on the subject of the Catholic claims. The Marquis of Lansdowne at length nloved that it should be when into consideration on Monday the ' Jth of June, which was agreed to. Swcral petitions were presented by Earl Grey and other noble Lords, from Roman Catholic bodies in Eng- land, claiming their right to a participation of the be- nefits of the Constitution. The Stockton and Darlington Railway Bill was read a third time, and passed— Adjourned.! TUESDAY, May 20.— The Marquis of Downshire presented a petition from certain noblemen, gentleman, mid landholders in Ireland, pmrt\ in; t out the necessity of draining and improving the lands of Ireland, and praying their Lordships to take the matter into consideration. The Earl of Shaftesbury presented a number of peti- tions from tlie Protestant inhabitants of several parishes in the county of Cavan, praying their Lordships not to extend any further concessions to the Roman Catholics. The further consideration of the Penryn Disfranchise- ment llill was postponed till after the holidays— Adj. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY, May 19— The following Committee was appointed to manage the conference with the Lords on the subject of the resolution that had been agreed to re- specting the Catholic claims: Sir F. Burdett, Sir J. New- port, Mr. Secretary Huskisson, Mr. Brougham, Mr. C. W. W. Wynn, Mr. C. Grant, Lord Duncannon, Mr. Calcraft, Lord Althorp, Mr. Doherty, Lord Nugent, Lord A. Hill, Lord Ennismore, Mr. Caulfield, Lord Clements, Mr. Grattan, Mr. Stanley, Mr. Brownlow, Mr. Spring Rice, Mr. V. Fitzgerald, Sir J. Mackintosh, Lord Palmerston, Mr. Lamb, and Lord Morpeth. The Committee proceeded to the Painted Chamber, and 011 their return, Sir F. Burdett stated that he hail been to a conference with a Committee of the House of Peers, to whom he had communicated the resolution of the House of Friday last, and had received for answer that the resolution would be taken into consideration by their Lordships. Sir R. Wilson rose to ask some questions of the Right Hon. Gentleman who represented his Majesty's Govern- ment in that House, relative to the subject of foreign transactions. In doing so he assured the light hon. gent, it was in no degree his wish to embarrass the policy of his Majesty's Government, by seeking to induce them to make premature , disclosures. The first question was, whether the British Government still adhered to the Treaty of the 6th of July ? The second was, whether England was combining, or proposed to combine with France to carry on certain operations to attain the objects of that Treaty ? And the third was, as to whether any communication had been received from our Commanders in the Mediterranean, to uccount for or to justify ( if it were possible so to do) the nun- enforcement of the block- ade of the Morea ? Mr. Peel replied, that from the moment the Treaty of the tith July was signed, there had been on the part of the advisers of the Crown a sincere desire punctually and scrupulously to fulfil their engagements; he acknowledged the necessity of putting an end to the struggle between ' turkey and Greece, and oi' establishing an arrangement as to the relations in which Turkey and Greece shall hereafter stand towards each other— As to the second question, it was the wish of his Majesty's Government to avoid interfering with the internal concerns of other countries, and . to luui; the » » " operations to the precise . objects of the Treaty. The declaration of war by Russia agiinst Turkey had not changed the disposition of the three parties towards Gieece, though having altered the character of one of the Dowers into that of a belli- gerent, it had involved important consideiations as to the means by which the Treaty was to be carried into effect.— With respect to the blockade of the ports of the Morea, instructions had been immediately sent to carry the blockade into effect.— Consistently with his sense of public duty, Mr. Peel could not, nnder the present cir- cumstances, give a more ample explanation. The House having resolved itself into a Committee of Supply, various Navy estimates were moved and agreed to. Ill a Committee on the East Retford Disfranchisement Dill, Mr. Calvert wished to extend the elective franchise to the freeholders of the neighbouring hundred of Bas- setlaw, while Mr. Tennyson forcibly pressed on the House the superior claims of Birmingham to the for- feited franchise.— After some discussion, a division took Place, when there appeared— For transferring it to the undred 148; against that proposition 128; Majority 18. — Adjourned. TUESDAY, May 20.—- Mr. P. Thompson, after various observations on the injurious effects of the law as it now stood in respect to usury, moved u for Ifcave to bring in a bill to amend the Usury Laws." The Chancellor of the Exchequer suggested the pro- priety of deferring the discussion on the general principle of the laws, until ihe Hon. Member's amendments should have been laid on the table. Sir R. Heron was willing to consent to a repeal of the extravagant and absurd penalties enacted by the Usury Laws— but it was impossible to go the length of a total repeal of these laws without affecting the rale of mortgages. Several other Members having delivered their opinions on the state of the usury laws, leave was given to bring in the bill. Mr. Hume rose, pursuant to notice, to move for an account of the number of pensions on the civil list. No- body could pretend that tile civil list was granted that liis Majesty might do what he pleased with it. The money was granted that individuals, eminent for public services, might be rewarded out of it. He was sorry, however, to find, by the return made in 1820, that there were few on the list, who had any claim for their public services. They were generally put there as an act of grace and fa- vour on the part of his Majesty to particular individuals connected w. th the government. He found upon it the names of peers, of their daughters, nay, even of the daughters of dukes, and but very few of them whose claims were such as ought to have been allowed. The English and Irish Civil List now granted to his Majesty was, together, I ,046,900/. without any distinction of what went to pay these pensions and other charges, and what really went to pay the expences of his Majesty's household. Nothing could more strongly impress upon the House the necessity of closely watching ihese Pension Lists, than the consideration that the whole of the pensions paid by the nation, including the half- pay list, amounted to up- wards of six millions, nearly one- third of the twenty millions Government had at its disposal, after the pay- ment of the interest of thy national debt He con- cluded with moving, " that an humble address be pre- sented to his Majesty, praying that there might be laid before that House returns of the pensions on his Majesty's Civil List in England, up to the 1st of January 1828, stating the name of each person, the amount of pension, the date at which it was commenced, and whe- ther for life, or during pleasure; with a similar return of the Irish and Scotch pension lists." The Chancellor of the Exchequer did not think it ne- cessary, cither, to enter into any explanation of that, part of the Hon. Member's speech, in which he stated the amount of the pensions paid by the country to be six millions, as he was satisfied there was not a Member in that House who did not know that in that sum was in- cluded the whole half- pay, oHu'ers pensions, those of soldiers and sailors wounded in the service, the whole civil superannuation list, as also every grant made by the Crown, in consequences of addresses from that House, to individuals distinguished for their civil or military ser- vices. He admitted that they formed large sums, but he was sure that the House, having moved the Crown to grant them, would not now beg to have them annulled, ( heart, hear.) He looked upon those pensionsas memorials of the country's glory not to be abolished. ( Hear, hear.) He thought that the arrangements in respect of the Civil List, between the Crown and the Parliament, ought not to be lightly interfered with ; and it was because he did consider, that until it could be shewn that the disposal of the pensions on this list had been so managed as to con- stitute an abuse of the powers confided to tlis Crown—( an abuse calling for the interference of Parliament)— that the Hon. Gentleman could have no fairground for his mo- . ram; that he ( Mr. Goulburn) would certainly resist it. To the Hon. gentleman's first proposition lie ( Mr. Goal- burn) was most decidedly opposed, not from any personal hostility to the Hon. Member, but ftoni a great indis- position to disturb a system which had been considered by that House essential to the dignity of the Crown, the comfort of the Sovereign, and the convenience of Par- liament. ( Loud cheers.) Lord Althorpe spoke in favour of ( lie motion. Mr. Huskisson, said, that if this li t were to be called for like any other paper of account, when a pension hap- pened to be granted,— and that was the doctrine laid down as the foundation for the production of this list,— then a very considerable portion of their time would be be employed every session of Parliament in discussing the right of the Crown. The Crown did not act in this case without the assistance of responsible adtfcers; and tinless gentlemen could adduce an instant in which a very improper application was liiade of this fund, it was the usual practice of Parliament to presume that th- Crown had been properly advised. The House had, he contended, no right to touch this sub- ject, unless where the Crown called for a new Civil List, or where it was placed in the unfortunate situation of coiiting to Parliament for relief. Under all the cir- cumstances he should oppose, because he could not con- sent that the hon. Member for Montrose t, should sit in judgment on every pension that might be granted by the Crown. After Sdme further discussion, the House divided :— For the motion, 52; Against it, 131; Majority against the motion, 79. Mr. Sagden moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the alteration of that ( mrt of the Law of Real Property which enabled Trustees for ii Minor to plead the infancy of the vendor against the completion of the conveyance begun by the predecessor— Leave given. The House having. resolved itself into a Committee on the Corn Importation Bill, Mr. Whitmore moved an amendment, which was negatived. Mr. Portman also moved, as an amendment, that London should be left out of the list of places in Which averages were to be taken; in this he was supported by Mr. Benett, but the motion was lost by a large majority; The House then resumed. The Pensions Act Amendment Bill Was ffead s second time. ( Mr. Hume intimated, that at the next stage of the Bill he would take the sense of the House on it, The Chancellor of the Exchequer brought in a Bill to enable tavern- keepers to retail wine under certain regula- tions.— Adjounw't London, WEDNESDAY, MAY 21. liis Majesty left his Palace in St. James's', about eleven o'cfeck Monday morning, in his travelling carriage and four, for. his Royal Lodge, ill Windsor Park. Soon after his arrival his Majesty took a drive in the Park, and inspected the Temples lately erected, and the other improvements carrying on in the Park. The King dined at the Royal Lodge, and afterwards returned to town, where his Majesty arrived about half- past eleven o'clock. It is understood that Parliament will adjourn for the holidays from Friday to Friday. Tlte Duke of Cumberland visited liis Ma- jesty yesterday at his Palace in St. James's. The Duke of Wellington had an audience yesterday of the King. Prince George Lieven and the Hon. Master Lambton ( second son of Lord Durham), dined with Prince George of Cumberland yesterday, in the apart- ments of liis Royal Highness, in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Duke of Cumberland honoured the Duke and Duchess of St. Albans with his company to dinner on Monday, at their residence in Piccadilly. The Royal Regiment of Horse Guards, Blue, were reviewed yesterday morning on Wormwood Scrubs, by their Colonel, Field- Marshal his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland. This fine regiment went through the different evolutions in admirable style, and was highly complimented by his Royal Highness. liis Royal Highness the Duke of Cumber- land has issued an order to his regiment ( the Royal Horse Guards, blue), that the men, as well as officers, do imme- diately adopt the fashion of moustaches, and wear their hair behind dressed, or rather undressed, a In Russe.— Globe. The Lord Mayor, accompanied by the City Remembrancer, had a conference with the Duke of Wellington anil the Chancellor of the Exchequer yes- terday, at the Treasury. His Royal Highness Prince Leopold gave a most splendid entertainment to a numerous party on Monday night, at Marlborough House. A host of Krst- rate musical talent was engaged for the gratification of the distinguished visiters, consisting of Mademoiselle Sontag, Madame Pasta, Madame Caradori, Madame Puzzi, and Madame Morin; Signers Curioni, Zuchelli, Pellegrini, Begrez, and De Begnis, who performed a Concert in the course of the night, in the principal drawing- room. The company began to arrive at ten o'clock, and continued setting down without intermission for about two hours. The members of the Royal family were among the earliest who arrived. The Duke and Duchess of Clarence, and the Duchess of Gloucester arrived at a quarter past ten o'clock; they were soon afterwards followed by the Duchess of Kent, the Duke of Gloucester, and the Duke of Cumberland. It is confidently stated, in quarters possessed of good information, that Ministers have become sensible that, in the present situation of the country, the settle- ment of the Catholic Claims can no longer with safety be delayed. This determination was, it is affirmed, con- veyed by the Duke of Wellington to a certain exalted Personage, to whom the communication was exceedingly unpalateable. The Premier, however, declared that he was personally as averse to the concession, as that exalted Personage could be, but that circumstances rendered the measure absolutely necessary; and as he could not be answerable for the safety of the country, if the ques- tion remained much longer unsettled, he would consent to remain in office onlv on the condition of an arrange- ment with the Catholics. A certain individual, whose visit to this country has excited some surprise, advised, it is said, the acceptance of the resignation of the Ministry ; but this proposition was still more unpalateable than the concession.— Morning Chronicle, The Courier paper of to- day positively asserts, that the above statement in the Morning Chronicle is altogether without foundation. We copy a report Oom a Morning Paper, that the Duke of Wellington has announced to the King that the only condition on which he can continue Minis- ter is, that an arrangement be made with the Catholics. Whether or no this account be to its full extent correct, it is certain ( hat at no former time did so strong an opi- nion prevail that such a source of internal division as the Catholic Question should and must, for the sake of the strength and credit of the country, be got rid of. Under these circumstances, plain and direct concession may be avoided— not because any real danger, exists, but to save the credit of parties who will not at once acknowledge, even to their own minds, that they have long been de- luded by merely imaginary alarms.— Globe. CITY, TWO O'clock.— The statement in a Morning Paper— that the Duke of Wellington has ten- dered his resignation, on account of the Catholic question — excites much interest in the City, but is not commonly believed. It will probably surprise our readers to find from a paper just laid before the House of Commons, that the Bank of England, besides receiving 260,269/. 13s. 6rf. for the management of the public debt, has con- stantly in its hands an average balance of upwards of four millions of the public money. The account has been made up for the whole of the year 1827— two days are selected in each month, the 1st and L5th, and ttie lowest amount on any one day is 2,794,734/., and the highest 7,493,663/. The average of the balances for the whole year leaves in the hands of the Bank a sum of 4,223,867/.— Courier. The sum advanced last year fo the Govern- ment by the Bank of England was 21,000,000/. The sum that was in the Treasury on the 6th of January last amounted to 350,000/. The Paris papers of Monday, just received, contain no recent news from Turkey. In the sittings of the Chamber of Deputies on Monday, the report of the project of law on the Press was brought up, after which a debate on a lately proposed loan of eighty millions was continued. The Minister of Marine said, " The policy of France is easily understood ; the King desires the maintenance of order, and of all legitimate rights; the triumph of the rights of humanity. A, policy so glorious, so honourable, is not difficult to be judged oft. It is not a war establishment that we ask of you. We desire to place oui selves on a respectable peace establishment, in order not to be surprised in any case by events." A Paris paper ( the Messager des Chambres) of Sunday contains the copy of a letter from Lisbon, dated the 3d inst. in which it is stated that the remon- strances of the Foreign Ministers, aided by the opposi- tion of the respectable portion of the Portuguese, had produced symptoms of hesitation in the conduct of Don Miguel. No expectation, however, is held out that he would forego his designs; but it is merely supposed that he would prosecute them in a less intemperate manner, than either his own impatience, or that of his partisans, had hitherto allowed him to adopt. It is affirmed that the foreign ambassadors at Lisbon, npt satisfied with blaming the events which are now passing in Portugal, have addressed energetic Notes to the Infant, to induce him lo abandon the crooked path into which he has entered. If his Royal Highness continues deaf to their wise remonstrances, it is expected that their Excellencies will leave Portugal. The obsti- nacy of the Infant, and his ambition, which his flatterers take care to keep alive, by concealing from him tile dan- gers of his situation, give reason to fear a very deplorable result; meantime the Authorities continue to take effica- cious measures for the preservation of tranquillity in the capital.— French paper. Letters of tlie 11th instant, received from Bilbao, state thai preparations were making there for the reception of the King and Queen of Spain, with their' suite, who were daily expected. It is supposed to be Ferdinand's intention to proceed by the coast of Corunna, and return to Madrid through Gallicia. The expectation of the Royal visit has caused much bustle in Bilbao, as the whole cortege, including the troops which accompany Ferdinand, is estimated at full 5,000 persons. There has been a mutiny in the Russian fleet in the Mediterranean, of so serious a nature that a Court- Martial sentenced nine of the leaders to death. It was the intention of these individuals to blow up the flag- ship, in consequence of some dissatisfaction at the manner in which Admiral Heyden distributed amongst his crews the medals bestowed on them by the Emperor for their gal- lantry in the battle of Navarino. It is said that Ferdinand is seriously mortified at the little enthusiasm that was displayed on account of hij presence at Saragossa. This day most beautiful little Arabian stal- lion, perfectly white, and only forty- three inchcs in height, : ihd aged five years, was received at his Majesty's Mews, Pimlico. This beautiful animal wit's brought from India as a present to the King, by Capt. Thomas Baker, of the Hon. East India Company's ship Lowther Castle. EPSOM RACES.— There are 8!) subscribers to the Derby Stakes, which will be run for to- morrow ; and 7il subscribers to the Oaks Strikes, to be run for on Friday. The Governor and Deputy Governor of the Bank of England, after attending a meeting of the Bank Directors, proceeded to the Treasury yesterday afternoon, and had an interview with the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer. The new Pension Bill has been printed. It empowers his Majesty " to grant 3,000/. a year for the life of Charles Canning, second son of the late Right Hon. George Canning;" and it further empowers his Majesty to direct " such provisions and regulations as to the application of this Pension, for the benefit of the said Charles Canning, or of his brother Wm. Pitt Canning, or of Viscountess Canning, or of either of them, as to his Majesty may seem fit." The Portsmouth and Arundel Navigation Bill was read a second time, last week, in the House of Lords. ^ The Duke of Wellington, on the reading of i clause in the night poaching bill, in the House of Lords, laclared his objection to the principle Of making people Jerve ill the Army or Navy, under the sentence of Courts if Justice, as a punishment for crime. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.— Yesterday morn- ing, at St. Margaret's, Westminster, the Rev. Dr. Hips- combe, Lord Bishop of Jamaica, led to the hymeneal altar Mary, daughter of the late Dr. Page, formerly Master of Westminster School; The ceremony was per- formed by the Rev, Dr. Webber, Sub- dean of West- minster Cathedral. Madame Pasta's benefit on Thursday last, is ( laid to' have produced 1800/.! There is nothing new in the French papers from the East of Europe, with the exception of news from Semlin, referred to in a private letiet from Vienna, of the litli, according to which the Austrian troops were expected in a short time to enter the adjoining Turkish territory; but whether in the character of friends or enemies, remained a problem which only time could solve. The same letter says, that a blind confidence pre- vailed amongst the Turks of all ranks, with respect to the events of file war; and that it displayed itself in a parti- cular manner amongst the superior officers who were at- tached to the Staff of the Grand Vizier. They vaunted aloud, that the arrival of the Sultan at Adrianople, would be alone sufficient to rally 400,000 round the standard of Mahomet; and it is said that the war, so far from ex- citing any alarm, has created the highest enthusiasm, joined to the most sanguine hopes of success. VIENNA, May 6,— An Austrian courier, who left St. Petersburg!! on the 23d of April, has brought the answer of his Majesty tlie Emperor Nicholas to a letter of our Emperor, in which his Majesty made a last effort for the preservation of peace. We are assured that the answer declares that the late decisions of the Russian Cabinet will be persevered in. May 8.— Yesterday there was much agitation on our Exchange; at first the funds declined, in consequence of a report that the Russian army had crossed thie Pruth; afterwards they recovered, in consequence of the high quotations in the accounts from London and Paris. To- day they are rising. LISBON, May 8.— The Municipality of Oporto proclaimed Don Miguel on the evening of the 29th ult., but the garrison of the same city, as well as that of Braga, have declared in favour of Don Pedro. These two gar- risons, amounting to about 3000 men, are decidedly dis- posed to support the cause of Don Pedro. Don Miguel and his partisans have not yet attempted to adopt any measures against the disaffected troops. Our public funds have fallen nine per cent, since the arrival of Don Miguel, ar. d still continue to decline. PARIS.— Mr. Kean made his second appear- ance at the English theatre here, in the character of Othello, and attracted nearly as numerous an audience as that on the night of iiis debut. The story of the play being more familiar to the public than that of Richard the Third, the actor's efforts were more fully appreciated, and made a much more powerful impression, tlian on the first night of his performance. In the third act, particu- larly, his deeply tragic and pathetic rtterance, and the terrible energy with which he writhed under the tortures of the fiend Iago, were most powerfully effective, and produced unqualified, general, and long- continued marks of approbation. On the whole, Kean was considerably more successful, and impressed the French with a deeper conviction of his talents as an actor, than in his own more favourite part of Richard the Third. The Paris Geographical Society lias offered a prize to procure exact observations respecting the posi- tion of Timbuctoo, the course of the rivers that run in its neighbourhood, the commerce of which it is the cen- tre, & c. A sum of 9,025 francs will also be given to the first traveller who sliall penetrate to Timbuctoo by the way of Senegal. American Great Western Canal.— The great western canal, which was begun in 1817, is now completed, and connects Lake Erie with the waters of the Hudson, near Albany. This astonishing undertaking is generally mentioned to have been suggested and principally pro- moted by the Hon. De Witt Clinton, then governor of the state. Its whole length is three hundred and sixty- two miles, and cost seven millions of dollars. Boats run on the canal, of about fifty tons burden, and draw about four feet water. They are drawn by two or three horses and afford tolerably comfortable accommodations for passengers. It appears bv a table recently published, that of the nineteen millions and a half of acres which Ireland contains, there are at this moment 4,900,000 uncultivated and perfectly capable of improvement. It is said that the East India Company intend following up the thanks which they have voted to Earl Amherst and Lord Combermere for their services in India, by granting to the late Governor General a pension of 3000/. a year for life; and presenting to the Com- mander- in- Chief a residence in London, to be called Bhurtpore House. The annual Meeting of the Society for the Promotion of Permanent and Universal Peace was last night held at the Meeting- house, White Hart- court, Gracechurch- street. The report stated that a number of Branch Societies had been formed in this country and elsewhere, and in America above 2,000 tracts on peace had been ciculated. ASYLUM FOR FEMALE ORPHANS— The anni- versary of this excellent institution was celebrated yester- day at the London Tavern ; C. N. Pallmer, Esq. M. P., in the chair, supported by Lord Bexley and Mr. Sheriff Spottiswoode, M. P. The objects of this institution, which was founded so long ago as the year 1758, are such female orphans as have no certain abode, or whose parents' residence cannot be ascertained. None are admitted under eight, or above ten years of age— They are in- structed in the tenets of the Established Religion, besides being taught reading, writing, needlework, and house- hold business, and at a proper age are apprenticed as servants in respectable families. The amount of dona- tions and subscriptions announced at the close of the evening, was upwards of 600/. Several young men have lately fallen under the displeasure of the Vice- Chancellor and Heads of the Colleges at Cambridge. Mr. Duppa, B. A. of St. John's, has been discommoned; Sir W. Molesworth, and Mr. H. Barnard expelled ; and Mr. Desborough, and one or two others, rusticated. The matter originated in a gam- ing transaction, and a subsequent challenge. COURT of CHANCERY.— On Satu) day a gen- tlemen behind the bar begged to remind the Lord Chan- cellor of a case ( Gran v. Grant) which pressed for judg- ment : his Lordship said, " I have not forgotten it, and will give judgment as early as possible— but it should be recollected, my time is fully occupied. I devote at least fourteen hours every day to public business." The public attention was on Monday even- ing attracted to a house in the Strand, near the end of Norfolk- street, rather brilliantly lighted up with gas. The novelty is, that a gentleman has recently adopted a mode of generating gas over a common kitchen fire, and purifying it so well by . a new process, that it may not only be intioduced with safety into houses, but without causing any bad smell. The novelty of the invention consists principally in the adaptation of a retort to a com- mon kilchen fire. It is placed horizontally across the fire, so that the flame is impelled powerfully under it. Two boys having been taken lie lore the po- lice magistrates, in Glasgow, last week, for breaking a pane of glass in a shoopkeeper's window, upon being questioned, stated that they were employed by a glazier in that city to break glass for him at the rate of a penny a pane. Two men have undergone examination at Bow- street office, on a strong suspicion of stealing, three months ago, thirty mail bags containing letters and pro- perty to a great amount from the post- office at Hounslow. GILLHAM, the Murderer.— When the decision of the Judges in this wretched man's case was commu- nicated to him, he received it without any great emotion, and said it was no more than he expected. Since his trial, Gillham has conducted himself in a manner be- coming his awful situation. His nights are undisturbed, and he rises at five o'clock, passing some time on his knees in fervent prayer; the Chaplain also visits him daily after prayers. His private hours are chiefly spent in reading or meditation ; and he is frequently observed to shed tears^ He has, however, made no further con- fession of his guilt, though he never denies it. On Wednesday night the inhabitants of West Lulworth, were alarmed by the cry of fire, which pro- ceeded from a shepherd, who was passing a range of thatched cottages, ar. d perceived that a pig- stye at the end of the range was in flames, and notwithstanding every exertion and effort to arrest the progress of the fire, tile whole range was burnt to the ground in less than two hours; water was very scarce, and nothing but buckets copld be obtained to bring it to the spot. The buildings were occupied by six aged persons, whose united ages amount to 400 years ; they have saved but very little of their furniture, and none of their wearing apparel, except what they were clotlied in when they cscapcd from the flames. At a numerous Catholic meeting held in Dublin, Mr. O'Connel, Mr. Shiel, and Mr. Lawless, warmly congratulated tie assembly on the majority that had voted in favour of he Catholic claims in the House of Commons, and on tie recent emancipation of Dis- senters, which must be i precursor to that of the Ca- tholics. Mr. O'Connell aid their Bill Would not be before the House of Lords for four or five weeks. Within that time I propose ( said le) to organise another simul- taneous meeting, and evey Catholic parish to petition the House of Lords, and . o forward an address to the King. Let there be three housand addresses sent to his Majesty— let them call upin their nobility to present them— let them go to the hvees— they would appear in the Gazette, and we will mike the bulkiest Gazette that ever appeared. Those wh » surrounded the Throne might invest it with German Guards— they might take the So- vereign to fishing patties; bit the voice of congiegated Ireland would reach him— the petitions of seVen millions would be heard by him. Tley would say to him, you are our Sovereign | we are reajy to defend with our lives and fortunes the Throne and your sacred person; we have given you the best proofs of our loyalty, and, after all, we are as good as Germans. We are Irish, to be sure t but has nature given superior powers, intellects, or faculties, to Hanoverians, or any other kind of Germans, that she has denied to us ? Your Majesty has protected liberty of conscience amongst tlie Catholic Germans; it is not, then, the religion you entertain a dislike to; your Majesty surely will not refuse the voice of millions, who ask you for liberty of conscience. Mr. O'Connell then mentioned that, if their addresses were successful, they would soon find a miraculous change in the Bench of Bishops; and concluded by proposing resolutions. In the Court of King's Bench on Saturday, two young men named Davis and Blundell were brought up for judgment, . having been found guilty at the Lan- caster assizes of having a dead body in their possession, knowing it to have been indecently disinterred, fur the purpose of illegal dissection. Davis, it appeared, had contracted with a stranger for the subject for dissection, with a view to instruction in bis profession; Blundell, only 17 years of age, apprentice to a stationer at War- rington, had, at the request of a medical friend, assisted in carrying the body from an outhouse to the house of a physician. Counsel for the prosecution and defence hav. ing been heard,— Mr. Justice Bailey said ; John Davis and William Blundell, you have been convicted of the offence of having in your possession a dead body, with a view to indecent and unlawful dissection, knowing the same to have been indecently disinterred. You are both very young, and have borne generally a very good cha- racter. But this is a very serious offence of which you have been round guilty, and it is one which is calculated, in a very high degiee, to distress the feelings of the re- latives and friends of any departed persons whose bodies are thus indecently disinterred and unlawfully dissected. The Court must take great care lest it should do any thing from which it might be inferred that they consider this a slight offence; but the Court must look at the cir- cumstances of this case: you, Davis, it appears, were led into temptation by a stranger, who offered you a sub- ject for dissection at a stated price, and though it was a f: reat offence in you to make any such contract, you were ed into it by a man more criminal than yourself. The case of Blundell stands on a different footing; he was not in any way concerned in the matter till after the dis- interment, when he thoughtlessly lent his assistance to a friend in the manner that has been suited. Blundell too, it appears, is in a very bad state of health. We have considered all these circumstances in your favour, and we hope that the mildness of the sentence will not have the effect of giving encouragement to offences of this de- scription. The sentence of the Court on jbu, Davis, is, that you pay a fine of 20/. to the King, and on you, Blundell, that you pay a fine of 61. to the King, and that you be both imprisoned till these fines are paid. The de- fendants immediately paid the fines, and weri discharged. The Chancellor of the Exchequer appeared in the Chancery Court on Saturday, and made the De- claration prescribed by the Test and Corporation Acts Repeal Bill. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, May 19.— The King v. F. Y. Guildford, Esq— This was a criminal information against the defendant, a gentleman residing at Bodmin, for a libel upon a respectable lady of tlie name of Isabella Mary Wallace, to whom he imputed adultery with the Marquis of Hertford. The defendant suffered judgment to go by default. It appeared that the calumny originated in the ill- blood of election feeling. The Court, taking all the circumstances into considera- tion, sentenced the defendant to four months' imprison- ment in Bodmin gaol. CORPORATION OF WELLS.— In the Court of King's Bench, on Saturday, Mr. Campbell moved for a rule nisi for a writ of attachment against Henry Brookes, Francis Besley, John Watts, John Lovell, and William Chester Barryman, members of the Corporation of Wells, for disobeying a writ of mandamus. There bad been judgment of ouster against tlie mayor and capital bur- gesses, and a mandamus issued, commanding them and others to proceed to the election of a mayor and five capital burgesses, and proper notice was served personally on them; but they wilfully absented themselves in order to prevent tlie election taking place. They were seen walking about the town at tlie time When tney ought to have attended in obedience to the writ— Rule granted. DUBLIN, May 18.— This. city has been a scene of congratulation to- day, since the arrival of the mail. The circumstance of the war, coupled with the proposal of a conference with the House of Commons by the Duke of Wellington, has been one great cause of exultation. The exhuming of bodies for anatomical purposes pre- vails here to a great extent— so much so, that the friends of deceased persons of the lower order, who are generally selected for resurrection, are compelled to watch them for many nights after tbeir burial. In an attempt to take up a body this week, there was a resurrection- man shot. A whimsical expedient was adopted to elude vigi- lance a few nights since: a coffin, followed by half a dozen gigantic women, was seen appproaching a church- yard with a celerity of movement not befitting funereal solemnity. The coffin was deposited in a grave con tiguous to the place where another burial had taken place that day. The women resolved to watch over their buried friend that night, and they accordingly lit a fire, and made other preparations. No suspicion was excited by their arrangements— but, in the course of the night, the women took the liberty of exhuming the real body which had been buried in the course of the day, and retired, leaving untouched the coffin filled with stones, which they had buried, in order to assist their plan I A most wanton and unprovoked murder was committed on the evening of Monday last, about , a mile and a half from Antrim, by a number of individuals called Ribandmen. As Mr. Brownlees, a hinhlv respect- able character, unconnected with any political party, was returning home to Feernisky, from the fair of Antrim, where he had been on business, in company with two men of the name of Cooper, they were attacked by up- wards of twenty men, armed with stones, who had se- creted themselves behind tlie ditches, and who, without any provocation whatever, assailed them with a shower of stones, knocked them down, and, after tlie most bar- barous and inhuman usage, left the unoffending men for dead on the public highway, where they were found b^ some people returning from the fair in a state of insensi- bility. Mr. Brownlees had his skull fractured in several parts, and lingered till one o'clock the following day, when he expired. Mr. Cooper and his son still survive, but are in a dangerous state.— Belfast News Letter. One of the Irish Scripture readers, named Owen Mac Daniell, was waylaid and murdered near Kingscourt, a few days ago, and the Bibles he was con- veying were torn in pieces. One of the murderers escaped to Kingstown, and got on board the Quebec, a trader, which had sailed when the officers reached that port; but, by the aid of a swift cutter, tliey soon got alongside the vessel, and he was apprehended. The other was taken at Old Kilmainham, in the house of a relative: their names are Thomas and Luke Carolin. The respite in the case of Charles Smith, alias Eastwood, who pleaded guilty on a charge of for- gery, ' ." as caused by a remarkable circumstance. He had lived in the service of Mr. Dulin, jeweller, Cornhill, and never violated the confidence reposed in him; in fact he never before was charged with any offence, and Mr. Dulin determined to use every exertion in his behalf. Before the day appointed for his trial arrived, Mr. Dulin, who was acquainted with Mr. Cope, the City Marshal, asked that gentleman for advice as to a mode of proceed- ing for the purpose of saving Eastwood's life. Mr. Cope suggested that the prisoner's best course would be to plead guilty, and he instanced many more aggravated eases in which, on account of pleas to that effect, the punishment of transportation was the only one inflicted. The principal clerk to Mr. Gates, solicitor to the Society Of Bankers, gave an opinion similar to Mr. Cope's ; and the prisoner's solicitor, Mr. Harmer, a most experienced person in cases of that kind, permitted him lo plead guilty, in the conviction that his life would be saved. Thus provided with advice, Mr. Dulin went to Newgate, and urged Eastwood by all means to plead guilty to the indictment, assuring him that a pledge had been given upon such condition that his life would be spated. In the conviction that there was a certainty of the extension of the Royal mercy, the man resigned his chances of cscape, and pleaded as he was advised. The Secretary for the Home Department having requested the Lord Mayor to institute an enquiry into the circumstances of this case, a Court of Aldermen was held for the purpose on Thursday last, when a number of witnesses were examined, and after a long discussion it was determined that a resolution should be passed expressive of the Court's disapprobation of Mr. Cope's interposition, as calculated to impede pub- lic justice. It apnea;* that the firm of Curtis & Robarts, upon whom the forgery was committed, had petitioned the King in favour of Eastwood. CAUTION TO POUND- KEEPERS.— It MNY not be (; cne. ally known, that, by the 1st and 2d Philip and Mary, c. 12, any person takiag more than fourpence for impounding cattle shall forfeit 5/. For some time past the hayward of Midsomer- Norton, ( in common, it is beli.' ved, with those of many other places,) have been in the hahit of charging OIK! shilling. Mr. Porch, a farmer, having recently had a bull impounded at Midsomer- Norton, tendered the hayward 4d. which he refused to take ; and Mr. Porch paid his demand of Is.; but de- termined to try the right of the hayward to this extra charge, he commenced an . action against hio ; when the haward's attorney deemed it ad « isablr tr> pay the penalty of SI. and eosts.

The Charge delivered by the Bishop of Salis- bury to the Clergy of his diocese at his primary visitation in August 1826, has been recently published. Amongst other important topics, Dr. Burgess notices the claims made by the Catholics; and, as the sentiments enter- tained oil this subject by so eminent a divine may not be unacceptable to our leaders, we present them with an extract: " By the very first Canon of our Church, you are re- quired, four times every year at the least, in your Ser- mons and Lectures, to maintain the King's Supremacy ; and to teach that no foreign Power hath any jurisdiction within this realm. If this duty had been constantly per- formed since the first promulgation of the Canon, there would, probably, have been at this day no question among Protestants of the Church of England respecting the justice or policy of admitting to any share of political power in this country, any persons who refuse to acknow- ledge the King's entire Supremacy in his own dominions; and at the same time submit themselves to a foreign Power held by them, in Ecclesiastical concerts, to be superior to the sovereignty of the Realm. The inconsis- tency of such intrusive Power, with every natural and civil principle of society, is so obvious and insurmount- able, that false pretences of religion, grounded on mis- interpretations of Scripture, are necessary to give any colour to iti " A learned Clergy was never more necessary to tile Church for the maintenance of true religion, than it is at this day, in opposition to the errors of Popery, Unitari- anism, and Fanaticism, and to provide against the pro- bable consequences of the Mechanic Institution.— The necessity of a learned Clergy will be the more obvious, when it is considered, that the errors of Popery, Unitari- anism, and Fanaticism, are founded chiefly on misrepre- sentations of Scripture. The infallibility and supremacy claimed by the Pope and his Church, are errors so con- trary to Scripture, to history, and to reason, as to be wholly unworthy of the trouble of refutation, if it were not for the pernicious consequences which have resulted from them to society and civil government. They h ive been abundantly refuted by Barrow in his cele'brat d Treatise on the Pope's Supremacy. " An attempt has been lately made by persons of very • high authority amongst the Romanists of Great Britain, to explain away, without renouncingj the idolatry, su- perstition, and disloyalty of the Romish system, ( by an avtiSeu ill old as the Reformation,) disclaiming do, contained in Pope Pius's (' reed, professed on onui by priests and converts, and maintained in the daily usage of their Church;— rejecting the charge of disloyalty, though they continue to give that honour to the Pope, which is due only to the King ; and have bound them- selves by an oath to the Pope to disclose to him all secret councils opposed to his interests;— professing the most perfect and entire obedience to the civil government, though they refuse that allegiance to the King, which is his prerogative by the common and statute law of the land,— complaining that they are deprived of the tights of British subjects, though nothing can entitle them to those rights but submission to the laws and to their natural Sovereign. None but fellow subjects are entitled to equal civil rights. That t/ iey arc not our fellow- subjects seems at length to be felt by themselves, and to be intimated in their designation of us Protestants, not as their fellow- subjects, but their fellow- countrymen. The designation is correct. " Many persons, who are most adverse to the corrup- tions of Popery, are nevertheless advocates for the claims. as they are c died, of the Romanists. They claim to be put on the footing of good subjects, without fulfilling the very first law of civil obedience. Their advocates plead for this most anomalous immunity, as an indulgence to conscience on account of their religion. " They claim, on account of their religion, a dispen- sation from the laws. James II. forfeited his Crown for granting tlie dispensation, which the Romanists now claim ; and he granted it on account of their religion. " They claim a dispensation from the constitution of their country. Protestants, on the contrary, claim the inviolable integrity of that constitution, as established by law, and guaranteed by the oath of their Sovereigns. And what is the religion, for which this claim of the Ro- manists is set up ? As far as the claim of dispensation, and the plea of conscience, are concerned, tlie religion is founded on false interpretations of Scripture, and falser inferences from it. Let Lactantius answer the question : Dubium non est quin religio nulla sit ubicunque simu- lachrum est. Beyond all doubt, • wherever there is an image ( that is where an image is venerated with the ex- ternal arct of worship by bowing down to it, in violation of the second commandment,) there is ito religion. The Church, therefore, that tolerates such an offence against the sovereignty of God, and riot on'y tolerates, but en- joins it, and not only enjoins it, but anathematizes all who do ndt comply with it, is, in the judgment of Lactan- tius, a Church without religion. Yet for tht sake of this irreligious, this Foreign Church, is the claim made, for dispensing with that allegiance, which is Required bv the common and statute law of the land, arid is tli3 test of Popery, and the security of our Protestant establishment." The Commission of Inquiry into the State of the Laws, relating to the Transfer of Real Property, is completed. The number of Commissioners is limited to live, and the Commission is composed of one Common Law Barristor, two Conveyancers, and two Equity Bar- risters. Mr. Campbell, of the Court of King's Bench, is Head of the Commission. Mr. Tinney and Mr. Duckworth are the Barristers, practising in the Courts of Equity. And Mr. Hodgson and Mr. Brodie, the Con- veyancers. A petition to the House of Commons against withdrawing the one pound country notes for circulation, has been signed by nearly every man of business in De- vizes ; and another is completely filled with the signa- tures of the respectable farmers and dealers who frequent Devizes market. Mr. Alderman Wood, on Tuesday evening last, presented a petition to the House of Commons, from Warminster, against the practice of paying work, men's wages in goods. The appeal againttbe decision of Lord Eldon respecting Mr. Long Wellesley having the care of his children, is still going on in the House of Lords. TRADE IN SCOTLAND,— The staple manu- factures of the district of Stirling— weaving and nailing- are carried on with considerable spirit. The wages of those engaged in working cotton average about ten shil- lings a week. In Lanark, weavers are pretty well off; webbs are to be had in abundance, and provisions are by no means unreasonable. A good hand can make twelve shillings a week, which will average nearly two pecks of meal per day. HORRID OCCURRENCE.— On Friday was com- mitted to Shepton Mallet bridewell, by Sir T. S. Champ- neys, Bart., Sarah Mitchell, wife of a labouring man at Frome, charged with stealing a quantity of silver pliite from a gentleman's house in that town. Through the humanity of the committing magistrate, her child, about 7 months old, was allowed to be taken with ber ; but no sooner was the woman confined in a cell of the bridewell, than, in a desperate fit of insanity ( to which, from habi- tual drinking, she has been for many years subject), she seized her infant by its legs, and dashed its brains out against the bedstead !— The wretched woman acknow- leged afterwards, that she had before destroyed another child in the same way.— A coroner's inquest'was held on the body of the infant on Saturday; when a verdict was returned of Wilful Murder against the mother. Last week, a woman, named Bignold, « f Headbourne Worthy, near Winchester, who intended to give some Epsom salts to one of her children, about 11 years of age, administered, by mistake, half an ounce of oxalic acid, which she had in her possession for the purpose of bleaching bonnets'. The child being seized with violent vomiting, and other alarming sympthms, Mr. Henry Lyford was sent for, who, after great atten. tion and exertion, succeeded in extracting the poison by the application of the stomach pump, and the child is now perfectly recovered. A bov about two years old, whose parents live in Hatton- wall, Clerkenwell, was killed on Sunday evening by felling from an upper window, bis father having imprudently placed him on the window. Early on Sunday morning the house of Miss Nevile, No. 4, Woodland- place, Bathwick- hill, was entered, and a very considerable quantity of plate car- ried off. The cider- growers at Lambrook, Kingsbury, Burrow, & e„ are in expectation of a considerable crop of apples again this year; but the orchards in some situa- tions ure only partially in blossom ; consequently the price of cider has trot materially declined. CORN- EXCHANGE, May 21.— Our market was nearly hi a state of stagnation this morning. Scarcely a sale has been effected in Wheat or Barley; but prices remain nominally as on Monday. Oats were, as nearly as possible, in t it same condition as on last Market day; very little doing, but what has been transacted was at Monday's prices. ATKINSON'S BEARS' GREASE FOR THE GROWTH of the HAIR— CAUTION. THH Public are respectfully cautioned against the numerous Counterfeits" of the above Article, some of them say Atkins instead of Atkinson, others William, Thomas, kc. instead of James, and being generally got up for cheapness, are mostly rancid fats mixed with pungent essential oif « , and are very dele- terious. _ The genuine may be distinguished from the counterfeits by attending to the following particulars. The Counterfeits have a printed label on the top of tlie pot, the Genuine is not printed but engraved on the pot, and burnt in like all other delph or china ware when the pot is made. It is a Bear with the words ' Atkinson's Bears' Grease for the Hair.' The Genuine lias also a small address label pasted ou the edge of the pot, with the words ' Atkinson, 44, Gerrard- street, London,' thli is in a circle, and much resembles a stamp, and is very difficult to imitate. Atkinson's Bears' Grease is now well known for promoting the growth of Hair. It is war- ranted Genuine without any admixture, except a little perfume to keep it sweet; and, independent of regents rating the Hair, it is very pleasant for dressing it, making it beautifully soft and glossy.

A report has been very current in the City tl at Mr. Huskisson and Lord Palmerston are about to r li„' n their official appointments.

A n ither report was also current, that Lord Dudley and Mr. Grant were about to retire. Neither rumours, how- t\ ' fcr , obtained any credit. The issue of the debate upon the East Ret- ford Question has given rise to rumours of intended cl langes. Some of the Cabinet Ministers were opposed to e; cli other in the division.

Lisbon Gazettes to the 8th inst. liave arrived The only news in them worth noticing, is the evacuation of fort St. Julian on the 25tli ult. by our H'o'cps; the lower of Lorenzo having been previously ceded by them to the Portuguese authorities. Extract from a private letter:— " LISBON, May 10— Don Miguel, who is described here as being, what in French is called a ' bete,' ignorant, fearful, and easily led, has been persuaded that he has been elected King by the Portuguese people, the Clergy, and the Nobles; and that the clamour ot the lowest mob of Lisbon and of about forty unattached officers, and the addresses of the Camaras, or municipalities, in the coun- try, could give him a title: he has, therefore, this week made rapid strides towards an absolute monarchy. In the beginning of the week, by his orders, the Viscount de Santarem sent a circular note to all the Ambassadors and Ministers at this Court, stating that the Prince Regent, having taken into consideration the addiesses of all the municipalities of the kingdom, as well as those of the Nobility, had come to a resolution to convoke the old Cortes of the nation, as the only means of esta blishing the quiet and tranquillity of the country The Ambassadors and Ministers held a meeting, as it is said, in the house of the Pope's Nuncio, at which it was agreed that they should all suspend their functions until they Should receive further instruction from their Govern- ments. As the new French Minister had not presented his letters of credence, and as the Kth was appointed for bis reception, they agreed to postpone their declaration until lie would be authorised to join them. He pre- sented his credentials, and, having been accredited at Court,, lie, the day following, as well as each member of the Corps Diplomatique, sent in a note, declaring his functions suspended until he received further instruction. Among the Ambassadors who are said to have expressed their disapprobation of Don Miguel's conduct in the warmest terms, the most indignant are the representa- tives of the Monarchs Of Austria and Spain. " On Tuesday a Supplement to the Gazette contained a Decree for convoking tile, old Cortes, which was the Signal for the suspension of the diplomatists. " In the country all is described as confusion, and the work of blood is said to have begun. At Oporto, on the 4th and some subsequent days, there was a regular fight beiVcVri the people, aided by the lllth regiment of infan- trv, and the police, supported by the lltli chasseurs. The Colonel of the latter regiment was formerly of the Liberal party} but now he leads his men on the opposite side- Rumour states that Ihe Governor of Oporto, and some other persons in power, have been killed. I have seen letters dated the 0th, which describe every thing as quiet; bul they state that the people are determined to support Don Pedro, for fear of having a war tvith tlie Brazils, which would ruin thousands in the northern provinces of Portugal. The volunteer- corps in that city arc said ui be unanimous in thefr resolution. An English- man, long resident in Oporto, is said to be signalised as a leader of the people. It was yesterday stated that the people had gained the victory over the police. At Aveiro the 10th regiment of chasseurs proclaimed Don Pedro IV. the day after the Camara had proclaimed Don Miguel At Braga there are two parties regularly skir- mishing with each otlier. At Mirandella the 2?> d regi- ment of infantry, being Miguelite, endeavoured lo dis- arm the Otli regiment of chasseurs, but the latter would not submit, and they fought against each other. In all the towns and villages of the north, where there are troops, there have been some conflicts; for the sol- diers in general feel disposed to support Don Pedro IV. and the Constitution, while the Clergy and the mobs join the municipalities for Don Miguel. In Alentejo there is great disturbance; bands of robfcerfe are, scattered about, laundering in the name of the King. The fith. regiment of cavalry, which had a conflict about a fortnight since with tile inhabitants of Evora, was ordered to come to Lisbon, in order to be disbanded; but when on their route hither, they determined to go towards Oporto. The greateet, confusion, it is thought, will arise over the whole countrv, when the news of the Ambassadors hav ing suspended their functions shall have been circulated. The English Ambassador's arms were , taken down on Thursday from the house where Lord Heytesbury ufeed to reside, and have iiot been put up, and, as I under- stand, will not, unt; l further instructions arrive from London, at Sir F. Lamb's . new residence at Buenos Ayres. There is, therefore, in fact, no acting English Ambassador ill Portugal, an'tl will not, it is thought, for some time. This news cannot ." but produce an extraor- dinary effect in Oporto and the provinces. In many parts the people refuse to pay any taxeS,, At St. Ubes, which is considered to be a most absolute lowi:,[ the people, and, among others, the fishermen, refuse to " pfty tlie usual contributions. " In the mean time Don Miguel is goinp; on in his kingly movements. In the palace all call him " Majesty." The Danish Minister, on taking leave, the tither day, heard of nothing but " his Majesty." Yesterday fie held u Court at the Palace of Bemposta, when most of the Miguelites of Lisbon attended. He sat on the throne, and was saluted with the name and honours of a king. Unfortunately for him, no King in Europe— not even Don Pedro IV.— can acknowledge him as legitimate, while Donna Maria II. lives; for she was born ill the King of Portugal's palace, was acknowledged the heiress to the throne of Portugal, Mid, although her father might, by any act, forfeit his right to, or vacate that throne, she cannot justly be deprive! of her birth- right. Her brother wns born a Brazilian subject! Mie a Portuguese. The thione Of Portugal belongs to her as certainly as that ol'. Brazils docs to her father; and his recognition of Don Miguel, even if allowed by all Europe, will not remove her rights to this sceptre. So say some of the best in- formed men here. Orders were issued, this morning, to all the Officers, to issue their documents in future in the name of the " Infant Regent," and not of the " King." Some of his violent partisans are dissatisfied with him for not throwing off the mask at once; but he appears fear- ful, like his uncle, and prototype Ferdinand VII. Preparations are tnakinirfor convoking the old Cortes; An order from the Prince Regent was expedited to- day to all the higher Corregidors of the district, called Comma- reas, for the election of new Vercadores of the Camards; resembling the Sheriff's in England; by which means the persons to assemble in the Cortes will be wholly Don Miguel's choice. " There is a report in circulation that a Provisional Government has been appointed in Oporto, under the name of a Regency. I'rom an account laid on the table of the House of Commons, it appears, that in the vear ending January 5, 1826, the aggregate value of British manu- factured woollens and woollen yarn exported from Great Britain was fi, l! U, 02fU.: in the year ending Jan. 5. 1827, 4, ll « 2, H0lW.; and in the year ending Jan. 5, 1828, the value amounted to S, 277,1101/.

Also, in the years ending Jan. 5, 1826, 2?, and 211, the amounts of British wools exerted were Ii7ll,( « 4 lbs., Blli;, 057 lbs., and 700,10' J lbs. THE WELLESLEY CAUSE.— On Wednesday the further proceedings before the House of Lords were resumed, and Mr. Brougham was heard at great length in continuation of his arguments oil the part of the ap- pellant, and in favour of the reversal of Lord Eldon'" decree, depriving Mr. Wellesley of the guardianship of his children. The gist of the Learned Counsel's livgu- ment appeared to be to show that the jurisdiction in this instance claimed by Chancery, was never in existence; that it was tyrannical in its operation, anil iniquitous in its principle ; and though there was some authority for the Court in the case of Wards exercising a control ovar the child, it merely extended to the property it migli? have been entitled to, but not to the scveration of lh4 child from the parent. Mr. Brougham made a most powerful appeal til their Lordships, in which he implored them to consider the consequences that must flow from the recognition of tills dangerous jurisdiction. It thight Come to their own floors, and they knew not the liniment tif they established such a precedent) that a disc tided menial might not bring them to the bar of publicopioion, rtnd make their most heedless expressions the grout tl of the- vilest calumny. The House rose at four oYb'oR. The Attorney- General will Follow for the respondent.. i on Ihe 4th June, to which day the cause lias been adjourifed. In the Court of Common Pleas on Wednes- day, nil action wr. s brought by Mr. Thomson, an art. vt, against Mr. Shackell, the registered proprietor of iSe John Bull newspaper. The libel stated that a portrait of his Majesty, which had been painted by Mr. Thomp- son, was a daub, and was only fit for the sign of a public house.— After hear'ng witnesses, the Chief Justice sai l the question vhl : h the Jury had to trv was, whether tlur comments whicn wtrc made on the character Of the pic- ture were fa r a . d honest criticism ? The Jury, itithout llesit t on, returned a verdict for the defendant. On Tuesday an inquest was holderi a! the poor- house, in Faringdon, Berks, on the body of Wm. George, alias Ingram, a boy about II years ot age. who died in consequence of a kick from a horse. The deceased was a plough- boy, in the employ of Edward James, of Wadley Farm ; and it appeared that about !) o'clock in the evening of Saturday last, as he was attend ng his master's horses in a Held, one of lliem fcickeit him on the lower part of the abdomen, and stni.- Uhini to the ground. Two carters, Isaac Smith and William Rouse, came to the spot, and Rouse cut a stick oat of the hedge, whilst Smith procured a halter, an I both beat the pwr boy be- cause could not get tip! He afterwards laid himself down under a bush, and passed the night there. Next morning. Rouse beat hint again with a halter, until Smith s id that he hail enough. The bov was afterwards carried to Faringdon poor- house, where he was placed in tlie hospital, and surgical attendance instantly procured. He was perfectly sensible, but seemed rapidly sinking, and next morning his deposition was laken by John Hughes, Esq., and warrants issued for the apprehension of Smith and Rouse. The boy died about seven o'clock on Monday evening, and on Tuesday morning, the Co- toner's Jury, after a minute and careful examination of all the witnesses, returned the following verdict— •' We find that the decccsed came by his death in conse- quence of mollification produced by the kick of a horse ; and we are also of opinion that his chance of recovery was verv much diminished by ihe floggings which lie le- ctived from Isaac Smith ami William Rouse ( servants to Edward James, of Wadley), and by their conduct in having left the deceased excised to the flight air, and^ without medical attention.

Copy of mortal front ti Country Bankers to the Lords of the Treasury dated May 9. The humble Memoria of the Country Bankers in . England and Wales, Showeth,— That the banking system established in this country forms a most impiftant and essential part of its commercial, economy ; tilt the Bank of England has heretofore been princ'ip d| y engaged ill' performing the functions of a Stare bank and in transacting business in London, . i he country banks have been the medium of the most important pecmiary transactions in all other parts of tile kingdom; mil with this system are inti- mately connected the prosperity of trade, the support of agriculture, the increas: of general improvement, and the productiveness of . tie national revenue. That an important mil extraordinary change in this system was suggested by the First Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, upon the most erroneous conception df the actual state of the case; general charges of misconduct in the practice of country bankers, which were groundless, formed tile basis upon which a new system was proposed and undertaken ; and your memorialists cannpt refrain from pressing upon the attention of yoO. r Lordships, that had due inquiry into tlie subject preceded th'e suggestion, the measure of esta- blishing branch banks would not have taken placc. Your memorialist! beg further to state to your Lord- ships, that should these branches, conducted by directors not personally responsible, succeed by means of exclusive advantages, in their apparent object of supplanting the existing banking establishments, the Bank of England will thereby be rendered masters of the circulation of t'te country, which it will be enabled to contract and expand at pleasure, and thus be armed with a tremendous power and influence dangerous to the stability of property a d the independence of ihe country,— a power which if tnis corporation is suffered to exercise uncontrolled during the unexpired term of their exclusive privileges, will jlice them in a situation to dictate terms to the Government, and thus virtually, if not by statute, render their mono- poly perpetual. Then will the value and rental of land, the value of all domestic producc, and of all commodities consumed at home, the revenue of the State, tlie wages of labour, and the employment of the poor, be made to fluctuate according to the secret and uncontrolled regu- lations of the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. Your memorialists therefore deeply regret, that your Lordships do not feel justified in adopting measures for the withdrawal of branch banks; and they hope that your Lordships will be pleased, as far as lies i'. i your Lordships' power, to prevent any interference with the business of your memorialists; and your Lordships will be pleased to institute an inquiry into the system of coun- try banking, and take into your Lordships' consideration jlie claims of the country bankers to be regarded as parties in the intended application for the renewal of the Bank Charter; and that no special privilege or monopoly be granted or continued to the Governor and Company of the Bank of England ; but thnt they may be placed on a perfect equality with country bankers in the competition which, by means of their branch banks, they are now carrying on with your memorialists. By order of the meeting, ( Signed) JOHN WROTTESLEY, May 9. Chairman. Mr. Hunt, who is on a tour in France, lias addressed a letter, of which the following is an extract, to the editor of a \ norning paper. He dates his lettir, Muerice's Hotel, Paris, May 06; " Sill,— Having seen by the London papers that green peas sell for three guineas a quart in Covent- garden mar- ket, I am induced to inform your readers that wo gave, ten days ago, 2s. fill, for a quart of green peas ; they now sell for Is. lid. a full quart; they arb in great abundahce at every table where the price of the dinner is 2s. ( id. per head. We can purchase here as much asparagus, of the finest quality, for 2s. ( id. ( enough for s: x pcisons), as would cost Ills, in Covent- garden ; there is also a great abundance of French beans, at an equally moderate price* and very fine strawberries for Is. fid. a pottle. I landed at Dieppe from Brighton on. Sunday morning the 4th instant; and I was not a little surprised to see the whole of the shops open, a, very large fish- market, and every one employed the same as on what we call in Eng- land a working day. Red mullet Xii. each ; and a John Dory ( Bib.) for as. 4d. We started at 10 o'clock in the diligence for Rouen— a distance of forty miles— which wc accomplished in four hours, to my great astonishment, " Some part of the way being drawn by nine Norman horses, Apparently as powerful as Barclay and Perkins's dray horses, but as active as our best hacks. I was par- " Mcularly interested, as a farmer, in travelling through Normandy, the whole of which is beautifully cultivated. In fact, there ivas not an acre within sight of the road but was cultivated ; and— what will be thought more extra- ordinary by the English farmer— not an acre without a crop on it, or ill the progress of being sown : this ci n only be accounted for from the absence of tithes. Ti a whole of the way to Paris we travelled between a double avenue of beautiful apple trees, in full blossom. I can confidently affirm that I have seen more slovenly farming in one parish in England, than I saw in travelling 140 miles in France. 1 find the labourers in towns get about 2s. a day for their labour ; and all agricultural labourers get cr) fj. a week, and all their board and lodging. I have beep it) France twelve days, and in this time I have only sec'ii " iW drunken person. In all the towns and cities trade appears to be in a prosperous state, ' i'liere are more shops shut up in one street in London, than there is in Paris; Rouen, St. Germain's, and Dieppe; and such is the'difficuity to obtain a shop in a good situation in Paris, that 400/. . a- year is asked for a single room of eighteen feet square, without ap inch of outlet.— Paris is a delightful place, the best hotels being about the same price as those of London." In the Court of Exchequer, Dublin, a rase was argued, in which the residuary legatee contested n bequest of 4000/. left by an old ladv to priests to say masses for her, in order to rescue " her poor miserable soul" from the torments of purgatory.— Mr. Cooper ( counsel for the legatee) contended that this was an enor- mous sum to have appropriated'to such a purpose - The Chief Baron: How- much do you think would bring lur out of purgatory, Mr. Cooper?— Mr. Cooper: I think 10/. would be quite enough to relieve so old a woman, my Lord.— The Court referred it to the Master to deter- mine how much he may think nectssary fur her relief in purgatory I The late Dr. Baillie was sometimes irritable when In the hurry of his extensive practice, to which he often devoted 17 hours out of the 24. One day, aftbr listening, with torture, to a prosing account from a lady, who ailed so little that she was going to the Opera that evening, lie had happily escaped from the room, when he was required to step up stairs again. It was to ask him whether, on her return from the Opera, she might eat some oysters, " Yes, Ma'am," said Baillie, " Shells and all." It is stated that there are about ninety thou- sand licensed victuallers in the united kingdom. UTILITY OF MOLES.— Inour attempts to im- prove on nature, we frequently defeat our own purposes. Farmers are extremely anxious to get rid of moles, whose hillocks destroy the smooth level of grass and corn fields, when they are very abundant; but it has been found, in some farms, by experience, that when moles are extir- pated, worms increase so prodigiously, that the moles have been wished for again, as the lesser evil of the two. SLUGS.— The most destructive and insidious pest of the garden, during the tender growth of seedlings, is the small greyish white slug, or shell less snail. It is often so small and inconspicuous, that it cannot be dis- covered, and as it feeds like its congeners, by night, valuable seedlings tiisappear as if by magic. It has been found an almost infallible trap for these depredators, to make small thimble- holes, about an inch in depth, near the plants uttackeil; into these holes the slugs arc certain to retreat during the day, where they may be destroyed, by sprinkling a little quick- lime into the holes. EPILEPSY.— It has been stated that salt is a powerful remedy against epilepsy. The Greenock Ad- vertiser this week mentions a case in wliieh a woman was instantly relieved by salt being applied to her mouth. AGE OF TREES.— In cold climates, the age of trees may be known by counting the circles which appear upon making a transverse section. In warm cli- mates, this cannot be done, for there the tree is always growing, and is not, as in cold countries, interrupted in its yegetation by the cold of winter. In old trees there arc often hollows which prevent the counting of the layers. FELLING OAKS.— A new and rather interest- ing way of managing timber designed to be cut, is now taking jilace in some parts of Berkshire. A rarty of men, reported to come from some part of Yorkshire, are at this time stripping the bark from the body and limbs of the oaks, as they are standing in the wood; and which trees are not intended to be cat until next winter; and it is re| iorted that such timber will be better, and last much longer than when cut immediately, and that the sap of it will be nearly as good as tlie heart. Among the various public undertakings now iu progress, no one is more worthy of commendation t lan the intended Charing Cross Hospital, which is com- prehensive in its plan, unexceptionable in its nature, and calculated to produce much undoubted goi d ; and that in a district ot the metropolis, where no hospital is now ea iily accessible. Anecdote of Instinct in the Ass.— The follow- ing is given by the Rev. Mr. Kirby, on the authority of Lieut. Alderson, of the Royal Engineers. An ass, the property of Captain Dundas, R. N., was shipped at Gibraltar, on board the lster frigate, fur Malta. The vessel having struck on a sand- bank, olF the Point dc Gat, at some distance from the ihore, the ass was thrown overboard, to give it a chance i^ f swimming to land— a very poor one, for the sea was running so high, that a boat which left the ship was lost. A few days afterwards, however, when the gates of Gibraltar jvere opened in the morning, the ass presented hims^ f for admittance, and proceeded to the stable which lie hid formerly occupied, io file ho small surprise of his quondam landlord, Mr. Weeks, who imagined that, by sjns mistake, the asi hud never been put oil . board the Ister. On the return of the vessel to repair, the mystery vas explained. The ass'hail not only swam safely to shore, but, without guide, compass, or travelling- map, uad found I. is way from Point de Gat to Gibraltar, a distance of more than Ejio miles, through a mquntahious an( intricate country, intersected by iueams, which he li4 never traversed btCxre. Mademoiselle Sontag, it is said; has ac cepted an, engagement for Dublin, at the ra'. a of 1000 guineas for three nights' performances at the Theatre. . One of the largest of the Scotch steam- boats, called The Queen of Scotland, was bought last Wednes- day on account of the French Government. The orig. nal cost of the vessel was above forty- live thousand, pounds. It is stated that two more ships of the same description are wanted foi immediate service. I. n some parts of France only two oxen are . used in a plough. Their motion is necessarily slow, hilt, moving in perfect unison of step, they perform their work to admiration. HYDROPHOBIA.— A lamentable insfance of the fatal cffVcts of this horrible milady '. as exhibited at Nettlested, during the last Week. About two months since, a dog, supposed to be in a rabid state, was prowling about the neighbourhood and bit several individuals, amongst whom was Thomas Hills, a boy about 14 years of age. Medical assistance was procured, and the wound very soon healed without exhibiting any untoward symp- tom. No noticc at all was taken of the circumstance of Hills being bitten, and it was almost forgotten ; but, on Friday night last, the poor fellow suddenly awoke from his sleep in the greatest agony and distress, and expressed great alarm to his bed- t'eiiow. Every thing that could be done was tried in order to check the cruel distemner ; but the patient, almost from the time just mentioned, till his death, was attacked with violent fits of convulsion. The symptoms continued to increase till 9 o'clock on Sunday evening, when the unfortunate youth died. We under- stand tlie medical gentlemen who saw the patient are de- cidedly of opinion that the convulsions were the effect of pressure on the brain, caused by the absorption of the rabid virus.— Maidstone Journal. Loss of the Clydesdale Steam- Boat by Fire.— On Thursday night, betwixt eleven and twelve o'clock, the Clydesdale steam- packet took fire, when crossing the Channel for Belfast, after about an hour and a half's sailing from Corsewall Point t on discovering the fire, the master determined to run the vessel for the Light- house, where they providentially arrived between one and two o'clock in the morning, and succeeded in landing the whole of the passengers in safety, to the number of about lit) or 70. The first occasion of alarm was from a peculiar smell circulitinir throughout the Vessel, on examining into which the file was discovered aft the funnel. Not- withstanding every exertion was made both by the crew and passengers, with the tire- pipe and boat's buckets, the fire increased, ar. il made rapid progress towards the stern of the vessel, which rendered the steersman's situation very precarious; he, however, was true to his charge, and notwithstanding his dangerous situation, Was most attentive to the master's orders, who took Ills station at the bows of the boat, and directed the steersman how to guide the vessel. A considerable time before the packet reached the shore, the engineer and firemen were driven from the engine- house by the violence of the fire; the engine was left by them plying, and fortunately it conti- nued to ply till the vessel reached the shore. It is thought that the vessel will be nearly, if not altogether, a wreck. CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.— At a numerous meeting of the association in Dublin on Saturday, . Mr. O'Connell spoke in a most triumphant manner of the majority that lately voted in the House of Commons in favour of the Catholic claims. He named and treated with great derision and ridicule several Members who had opposed the claims. " We have ( said he) succeeded so far, and all we want is to resign, by the settlement of our question, that formidable power, which iis opponents have plaCed in our hands. They say it is formidable. I admit it. Ii is a mighty power; we should not possess it, and I therefore cail upon them to restore us to our private stations iu lift*, and to allow myself, from being an agitator and a demagogue, to become a plain Nisi Prius lawyer. If they do not do this, we must pe - severe. We are ready to dissolve the Association on getting Emancipation; we are ready— nay, we are anxious to do so. For my own part, I am ready to admit that the Catholic religion lias gained by the struggle in which we have been engaged, and that the very withholding of our political rights iu-. s been of advantage io that religion. — The surrcpititions attempts made at corrupting the people— the efforts at proselyting the children of Ihe un- fortunate Catholic parent, have produced a contest, in which our holv religion has rot been the sufferer,— I would tell the conscientious Protestant that the con- tinuance of the present combat is one of the best means — 1 will not say of preserving tlie Catholic religion, for it wants no auxiliaries, and will stand and flourish at all events— but of rooting Protestantism out of Ireland. We are ready to give up the advantage we possess, for wc desire nothing for our religion but a clear stage and no favour. We want nothing for it if it cannot maintain itself without factitious assistance. Wc do not require any advantage; we scorn the aid of the bayonet, the penal code, or the police constable. If the religion wc profess is not able to sustain itself without such unholy helpmates, we are ready to give it up — hut it can live and prosper without extrinsic support. The security of the State would be increased by Eman- cipation. England is now grown old. She has had a long but an enervating race of glory. She wants the young blooD^ md the buoyant spirits cf Ireland to be in- fused into her veins. The North is in arms— the barbaric youth of Scythia arc ranging over the fair plains of Greeee; the despot of Russia is rioting on the monuments of the brave. and the great; the withering hand of tyranny is ready to crush civilization ; the commerce and the wealth of England would be excellent spoil for these barbarian's. England waits our assistance— let her conciliate and she can receive a new nation into her alliance— she can array in the front of her battle a people who never flinched in open conflict— let her purchase our affections by a cheap act of justice, and Europe may congregate its despots against her in vain. The settlement of our question— and it can be settled but in one way— by Emancipation— will givusecurity to the Throne, permanency to the Con- stitution, unanimity to the people, ar. d tranquility anil happiness to the Empire at large." ANECDOTE.— We can vouch for the ( ruth of the following:— During one of tlie reviews held at Ply- mouth, in honour of Don Miguel's arrival, some gentle- men present Wre debating his identity, which being overheard by a marine on duty, close nt hand, he civilly poipted out his Highness, upon which a comrade r.*- mark.- d, how dost thee know that's he?" to which the vetetan replied, " Egad, I think I ought to know ' en, for I stout centinel over ' en three days, on board tlie Wind- sor Castle, ill Lisbon, when lie attempted to kili his father."— Exeter Gazette. A clock- maker of Memmlngen lias announced a clock for sale, of his own invention, which has em- ployed his exertions for the. last thirteen years. It is made of wood, and has nothing metallic in its compo- sition ; it requires to be Wound up only once in three months, and a report as loud as that of a 12- pounder gives notice of the time when it has stopped. The in- ventor, M. Pipert, Warrants it for twenty years, and asks 11000 ducats for it: the Grand Duke of Hesse has offered him 5000, which he has refused. Mr. Bakewell, in his Iiltioduction to Geology, calculates that the coal in Northumberland and Durham will be exhausted ui the period of 350 years; that the coal fields of Derbyshire, the West Riding of Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Whitehaven, and Lancashire, will none of them last longer than that time ; but that the immense coal- field of South Wales would supply the whole con- sumption of the country for 2000 years. The latter coal is of an inferior quality, but it is probable that improved methods of burning will be discovered. THE KING'S THISTLE.— When his Majesty was in Edinburgh, in 1822, a thistle of gigantic height was carried before him by the ancient society of gardeners. This plant, measuring upwards of eight feet, w'As brought from the Castle of Dumbarton, and presented a noble appearance. Shortly after the pageant wa6 over, a man from Dumfermline procured a slip from this national emblem, and upon his return home, planted it in his little garden. The following year the plant grew amaz- ingly, and ttl the anniversary of the King's visit it reached the height $ nd size of the parent stock, and attracted the notice and admiration of every beholder.

FRIDAY, May 23.— The Royal Assent was Riven by Commission to the Passengers' Regulation bill, the Election Acts Consolidation Bill, and to several Private Bills. On the motion of the Duke of Wellington, it was agreed that the House, at its rising, do adjourn to Monday the 2d of June. The Earl of Darnley said, it might be recollected, that after the glorious battle of Navarino, several hun- dreds of the Greek population were carried off by Ibrahim Pacha, and sold as slaves in the Egyptian markets. He wished to know whether any means had been adopted towards remedying it. The Duke of Wellington, in justice to the late Govern- ment, declared that every precaution had been taken to prevent its occurrence, and that the present Government had adopted efficient means to prevent its recurrence. " With regard to the remedying the misfortune, it was not possible to effect the perfect restoration of the Greeks who had been sold as slaves, U> it as far as it could be effected, Ministers had given orders that enabled him to say that it would. ( Hear, hear.) Adjourned to the 2d of June. HOUSE OF COMMONS. FRIDAY, May 23.— The Bill for allowing Prisoners to be defended by Counsel, was read a first time. The Attorney General gave notice of a motion for the 10th of June, for leave to bring in a bill to prevent the assumption of the title of Baronet in Ireland. The Chancellor of the Exchequer moved the third reading of the Corn Bill. Mr. Western wished, before the Bill was passed into a law, to express his disapprobation of it. He thought the agriculturists of England were not sufficiently reco- vered from embarrassments under which they had la- boured, to encounter any great importation of foreign com, and as a record of his opinions, he moved a series of Resolutions, expressive of liis opinion. After some discussion, Mr. Western's resolutions were negatived, and the bill was read a 3d time and passed. The Cities and Boroughs Poll Bill was, after a little discussion, read a third time. The Labourers' Wages Bill was road a 2d time. The other orders of the day were dis[ iosed of.— Adj. London. SATURDAY, MAY 24. The King left ( own about one o'clock yester- day, for Kew.

Prince George of Cumberland sat yesterday to Mr. Behncs, the sculptor, for a bust. A meeting of some of the Cabinet Ministers took place at a late hour on Wednesday night, at the re- sidence of Mr. Secretary Peel, in Privy Gardens. On Wednesday, we understand, Mr. Hus- kisson, Lord Dudley, and Lord Palmerston had tendered their resignations. They were, as their friends expressed it, actually out of office " Negotiations were, however, subsequently entered upon to induce them to withdraw their resignations, and they are, we believe, still pending, with every prospect of success— Globe, May 23. Should Mr. Huskisson and Lord Palmerston retire from office, it is understood that Lord Goderich will succeed Mr. Huskisson, and Lord Farnborough Lord Palmerston. It is stated, ( hat Government have deter- mined to add six sail of the line and several frigates to our present naval force in the Dardanelles. It is said lliat Government has made a con- tract for thirty- six thousand loads of African timber. Accounts from Egypt to the loth of April, announce the determined resolution of the Pacha to sup- port the eause of the Sultan in the Morea. Provisions had been sent off' to supply the troops. The manifesto issued by Russia had been received at Alexandria, and produced a great sensation. Letters from Oporto state that 1he military ( ired upon the mob on the 10th instant, while the latter were proclaiming Miguel as absolute King. The Paris papers announce the important fact, copied from the Austrian Observer of the 14th, that the Russian troops entered Jassey, the capital of Mol- davia, that morning, without opposition. The Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday passed, by an immense majority, the law for the loan of eighty millions of francs. A letter from Paris says, " great prepara- tions are making in our maritime ports, but the object of them is kept a profound secret." Accounts from Brest, state that the vessels fitted out there were the Marengo, Duquesne, Couronne, of 74 guns, the frigates Pallas, Themis, and Erigone, and three others of the second rank. On the 9th inst., Admiral Roussin had put to sea from that port in the Jean Bart of 74 guns, accompanied by the new frigate Terpsichore of til) guns, and the Arethuse of Ii4 guns. Letters from Paris irention a rumour very prevalent in the French capital, that a peace had been negotiated with the Dey of Algiers. Ex tracts from the Gazette dc France, May 22. " BUCHAREST, May 4— It is understood that on the 7th of this month the Russian troops will begin to occupy the principalities. " The Russian Emperor is expected at Jassy on the - 4th of May, to which city all communications are to be addressed, and whither all persons who desire to speak to the Emperor are to repair. Count Wittgenstein has ihc chief command of the whole army. Count Woron- zow commands one wing, and Count Pahlen, all the cavalry, " Tile Turks arc carrying on their preparations witli activity, but they will be hardly able to oppose the supe- rior force of I he Russians. It is therefore the general belief in the Russian Army, thai the war will be ended in one campaign, and that the Turks will speedily be induced lo yield. " CORFU, April 27— We learn that Redschid Pacha arrived ar Prevesa on ihc JOtli. " It docs not seem that a blockade of the Dardanelles is intended, but that the Russian fleet will, for the present, only sci in concert with the naval force of the Allies, tor the pacification of Greece."

The French papers contain accounts of the the vigorous preparations making by Turkey lo resist the Russian invasion, and speak of a Manifesto lately drawn up at Constantinople, which is reported to announce no less a design than sword in hand to throw off" the yoke of the hurthensome conditions which of late years have been extorted from the Sublime Porte under various pretences and forms;" to which end every Mussulman is i ailed upon immediately to place himself under the Banner i f the Prophet.

The greatest success attends the manufac- turing of beet- root sugar in France ; two manufactories, on it very extended scale, are about to be established in the neighbourhood of Valenciennes, According to letters from Berlin, it is affirmed that the third corps of the Prussian army, stationed at Frankfort on the Oder, and in the other fortresses of the March of Brandenburg, was going to be sent into the Grand Duchy of Posen, for the purpose of forming a corps of observation— Brussels Papers, May 20. The Austrian Government is said lo have made an important communication to all the German Courts relative to the affairs of the East. A Declaration is expected to be published very shortly. Thursday evening, as a pleasure- boat, with a party of 7 persons, was passing near the weir at Bath- ampton, the eddy drew in the boat, whiili was filled with water, and we iegret to state that Mr. Howard and Miss Knight, of the patty, weit diowncd Bath paper. EPSOM RACES, Thursday, May 22 : The Derby Stakes of 50 sov. each, h ft. for 3 years old colts, 8st. 71b.; and fillies, fist. 21h. The last mile and half. The owner of the second horse to receive lOOsovs. (!!!) Subscribers.) Duke of Rutland's Cadland ( dead heat) 0 Hon. E. Petre's The Colonel ( dead heat) 0 After a most beautiful race, the first ended a dead heat between these two; the second heat was run tot after a considerable delay, and won by Cadland, by half a length. Thirteen other horses also started, but they were not placed by the Judge. Many persons would hardly credit that the first was a dead heat, such an event never having before occurred for the Derby or Oaks. Two finer races were never seen for either Derby, Oaks, St. Ledger, or any other Stakes. The excellence of the running, and the skill di.- played in the riding, were much admired. His Grace the Duke of Rutland nets 24MM. by the Stakes, after making the customary deduction. The course was enormously crowded, but the excellent regulations by the Stewards made all right, and a finer day's sport has seldom been witnessed. Friday, May 23.— The flak Stakes, of AO sovs. each, for fillies 4lb. The last mile and half. The owner of the second horse to receive 100 sovs. out of the Stakes. ( 78 subscribers.) Duke of Grafton's Turquoise 1 Mr. Ramsbottom's Rantipole 2 Won easy by two lengths. Twelve other horses started, but were not placed. The value of the Stakes to his Grace the Duke of Graf- ton is 2130/. The result was totally unlooked for, and is a floorer to the layers of odds. The company on the Course this day, without being so numerous ss yesterday, was very fashionable, and the weather favourable in the extreme. Most of tile nobility who attended yesterday were present. WADHAM COLLEGE, OXFORD.— There will be an election of a Scholar on the 30th day of next June, when a native of Somersetshire, oi a native of Essex, who shall be found otherwise duly qualified, will be entitled to a preference.— A candidate must have completed the 14th and not have exceeded the 19th year of his age. It is said that a union will shortly take place between Henry Maxwell, Esq. M. P. for the county of Cavan ( nephew to the Right Hon. Lord Farnham), and the Hon. Anna Stapleton, youngest daughter of Lord Le Despenser, and sister of the Countess of Roden. From a Parliamentary paper, giving ac- counts of the quantities of wines of all descriptions im- ported into Great Britain, we find that in the year 1823 duty was paid for home consumption on 4,594,211 impe- rial gallons; in 1824 on 4,714,949 galls.; in 1825 on 7.375,433 galls.; in 1828 on 5,510,877 galls.; and in 1827 on 8,254,310 galls. In the whole, 28,449,600 impe- rial gallons, of which 14,374,898 galls, was of Portugal Wine, ( 1,898.095 of Spanish Wine, 2,578,189 of Cape Wine, 1,574,300 of Madeira, and 1,544,505 of French Wine. MEXICAN STOCK.— The arrival of the Lord Melville packet has brought no confirmation of the re- mittance on account of the Mexican dividend; on the contrary it appears that though the Minister had suc- ceeded in raising the sum of 400,000 dollars, it had been applied to the emergencies of the State. Letters from Mexico, just received by the Lord Melville packet, are dated from the City the 12th, and the Coast, the 18th March. Bravo and his asso- ciates were still in confinement. The Minister of Finance had not succeeded in raising money for the dividends, for which purpose he had been at Vera- Cruz. The old Spaniards were leaving daily, previous to which they had made large shipments of specie. The accounts, alto- gether, are of a very unsatisfactory nature. A dreadfnl event took plaxe on the 15th inst. in the town of Maisoncelle- le- Jourdan, near Vire: at half- past ten in the morning, during the performance of high mass, a violent storm broke over the Church, in which the whole population of the Commune was assem- bled, a thunder- bolt struck the steeple, burst in a large portion of the roof, killing ten people on the spot, and wounding 85, forty of whom are in a dangcous state. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Sheer- ncss has been held to petition, his Majesty to alter the name of that town to Port- Clarence or Clarence- Port. THE SUN.— Those who aie curious in astro- nomical phenomena will be highly gratified at present in viewing the face of the sun, on which there are visible 22 spots, one ef them immensely large. We are requested to caution the public against bad silver, of which there is a great quantity in circulation. The half- crowns and shillings are principally of lead, polished over by plate iwwder— Bristol Gazette. GAME.— It is said that since the Bill for legalizing the sale of Game has passed the House of Lords, many considerable landed proprietors have an- nounced to their tenants, that when game is legally sale- able, they shall propose that all game killed on their estates, and not immediately required for the private use of tfie landlord, shall be sent to the nearwHicensed shop, and the receipts from 3itch salts to be placed to the credit of the tenant of the land where the same bad been killed. This conduct would be most honourable on the part of the landowners, and would secure to themselves all the pleasures derivable from their estates, to which unques- tionably they are justly entitled, whilst they would en- sure to the tenants the pecuniary advantages obtainable from the sale of game that had consumed their corn, and thus also secure to the public a full and cheap market without the risk of penalty for an illicit traffic in game. The immense importation into this country of cattle, sheep, and pigs, from Ireland, increases every year. Some idea of its extent may be formed fiom the following account of the importation into Liverpool alone: From the 3d of January to the 31st of December 1827, there were imported into Liverpool 38,052 oxen, cows, and calves, ( freight 30,441/.); 132,531 sheep, ( freight 13,253/.); and 138,574 pigs, ( freight 20.788/.) The annual Meeting of the National School Society for the Instruction of the Children of the Poor in the principles of the Established Church, was held on Thursday at the Central School in Baldwin's- gardens, the Archbishop of York, in the chair. There were present, the Bishops of London, Chester, Lincoln, Bris- tol, Sodor and Man, St. Asaph, Winchester, L » ndaff, Lichfield and Coventry, Carlisle, Gloucester, the Dean of Peterborough, General Thornton, & C.& C. The Arch- bishop of Canterbury was absent from indisposition. The report stated, that 471 Schools on the National system were now in existence, in which were educated Sunday and daily scholars, 48,900; Sunday scholars only 5,200 ; that the establishment of schools on their system was constantly increasing, and was not confiied to England, but making rapid progress in Denmark. It is intended a grand ball shall take place at the Devon and Exeter Royal Public Rooms, on the 18th of June, being the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo. Mr. Green, the celebrated aeronaut, will make an asccnt from Exeter, with his superb balloon, in the course of a few days. There is now little doubt that Mr. Estcourt / ill at length succeed in carrying his Bill for the improve- ment of the Licensing System. A short time since, as Lord Longford was returning from Dublin to his mansion house, at Summer- hill, ( county Meath), some ruffian tired a gull or blun- derbuss at his Lordship from behind a hedge, within a quarter of a mile of his own demesne wall, and on his own estate.— Ilis Lordship fortunately escaped unhurt. An officer of a regiment in Dublin garrison has received a notification to retire on half- pay, in con- sequence of appearing intoxicated at a late Castle ball.— Dublin paper. Moore's Almanack has again made Iwo lucky prophecies— viz. that hostilities would coimnoncebctwecn Russia and Turkey about this time, and that a great General ( the Duke of Wellington, of course!) would be promoted ! Shepherd ran five miles and a quarter on Monday, at Guildford, in 29 minutes. He is matched airain to run ten miles and a quarter within an hour, 30U/. to 200/. WAKD AND CARTER.— The match between these men will collie off' on Tuesday next, within thirty miles of London. Both men are well, and speak con- fidently of success. The odds on Ward are 2 and 3 to 1. NED NEAL AND WHITE- HEADED BOB.— The adjourned fight between these heroes will be resumed on Wednesday next, within forty miles of London. Neal is still the favourite at 5 and ti to 4. Baldwin is training on the Portsmouth mad, and Neal at Streatham. A shocking occurrence has taken place at Acton, near Sudbury. A family of the name of Ranson, having eaten some food cooked in a copper boiler, want- ing repair, were all taken ill; the woman died on Friday and her husband on Monday last; and four children are now lying ill— Bury Post. ARCHES COURT, May 21— Sir Jacob Astley, Bart, against Lady Astley.— In this suit of separation and divorce, promoted by reason of adultery of Lady Astley with Captain Garth, the evidence offered was precisely similar to that which was adduced on the trial at common law. The sentence of Sir John Nicholl, the Judge, will be delivered oil the first session of next term. SOMERSETSHIRE SOCIETY.— At the rccent dinner of the friends and subscribers lo this most useful institution at the Albion Tavern, in Aldersgate- street, Mr. W. Leigh took occasion to observe, that if any thing were at all wanting in the exertions to promote the suc- cess of the Society, it was not sufficiently known in the county that surh a Society existed. Mr. Hurd assured the meeting that as far as newspaper information went, no e< pcnse was spared in general ad- vertisements ; and this very meeting had been advertised ill every Somersetshire paper, in every Bath and Bristol paper, as well as in the Salisbury Journal, Sherborne Mercury, and several times in the principal papers of London. He returned thanks to Mr. Leigh, for his ge- nerous exertions in behalf of the society, and proposed his health, which was drunk with applause. The orchards throughout Somersetshire arc in profuse and vigourous blossom, and promise a bounti- ful supply of cider. The unfavourable indications which appeared ir. the early part of the year in this and some other counties, have enuiely diwppeaied, and a full nop uuy be csyeiteil The hop plantations, both in Sussex and in Kent, we hear, are recovering from the injury they re- ceived from the late cold and frosty nights. The flea has been more injurious to the Kentish gardens than to those of the above counties. From the appearance of the orchards in the county of Gloucester, there is every reason to expect a very large crop of apples this year. Potatoes are now selling at Is. a bagoflGOlbs. in many parts of the West of England. CORN- EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, May 23. Our supplies rf Grain in general this week have been very moderate; the trade nevertheless continues in a dull state, with little variation. Fine Wheat sells on full as good terms; but Barley is rather lower than otherwise. Having but few arrivals of Oats this week the trade is firm, and the sales 011 as good terms as on Monday.

Wm. Oakley, Esq. Mayor, being called to the chair, G. Arden, Esq. rose, and after opening the subject, drew the attention of the meeting, in the first place, lo the cause which might be supposed to have influenced the Legislature in passing the Act then under consideration, and reminded them, that it was soon after the panic and distress wnich was so prevalent towards the close of the year 1825. He would not attempt to offer any conjectures on the cause of that distress, because the opinions on the subject had been so various and so opposite; but he thought it quite clcar that the distress which had com- menced in the Metropolis could not be attributed to the country banks, nor to the maimer in which their business had been conducted. 11c conceived tile public were under great obligations to these institutions, as they had endea- voured, on nil occasions, to assist the government, and to promote the best interests of the country ; at the same time he was ready lo admit that the question was not to be discussed with reference to their individual advantage or disadvantage, but as it regarded the interests of the public at large. With these impressions, and feeling satisfied that the circulation of promissory notes under the value of five pounds, and payable to the bearer on demand, had materially contributed to the convenience and prosperity of the town and neighbourhood, lie begged permission to offer for the consideration of the meeting the draft of a petition to both Houses of Parliament, which was afterwards read and unanimously approved of. This morning the Hawk revenue cruizer, Lieut. Moor, R. N. made a seizure of a boat with upwards of 100 casks of spirits, and secured the crew of four French and two Englishmen. The Marchioness of Bute and Lady Catherine How- ard, Sir Wm. Richardson, and Mr. and Mrs. Thompson Jacob, are among the numerous arrivals of the week. On Monday last several parties proceeded to the Burning Cliff, when the fire was found to be raging in 11 different places. The long continuance of the fire is considered by geologists as a most extraordinary circumstance. POOLE, May 23. Arrived!

Torrens, Major General Sir Colin Campbell, and Lieut— General Sir J. W. Gordon.

Withers v. Pocock.— The damages assessed by the same Jury, in this action, at fifty pounds, have been re- duced by the Court of King's Bench to one shilling.

Salisbury. MONDAY, MAY 26, 1828. The Rev. Robert Grant, LL. B. Fellow of Winchester College, has been instituted, by the Bishop of Bristol, to the vicarage of Bradford Abbas, with Clif- ton Maybank annexed, in the county of Dorse!, to which lie has been presented by the Warden and Fellows of Winchester College. Mr. Hooper has been appointed Surgeon and Mr. John Chalk the local Agent of the Downton District of the Wiltshire Friendly Society, The District of Downton comprises the following places: Bodenham, Nunton, Rockburn, Whichbury, Martin, Tippet, Da- merham, Plaitford, Landford, Whiteparish, Standlynch, Redlynch, and Bramshaw. Mr. Richards, son of the late Rev. Mr. Richards, of Chiverell, near Devizes, has been appointed Lieutenant to the Windsor Castle, commanded by Capt. Bouverie. We have every reason to expect that our Musical Festival, which takes place on the 19th of August and three following days, will be as brilliant and attractive as on any former occasion. The names of Madame Caradori, Miss Paton, and Mr. Braham, with those of the highly celebrated instrumental performers announced in our Journal of to- day as bein.' alr- » dy engaged, lead us to anticipate the most successful result. Mons. Howard's recent performances at our assembly- rooms having been most favorably received by genteel parlies, he is induced to perform again to- morrow and Wednesday, in the morning and evening. His foreign doves will perform for the first time in this city. We perceive an announcement of sale by private contract of a large and superior landed invest- ment of 7000 acrcs, several manors, & c. & c,; and from the information which we have gleaned, we are of opinion that probably nothing of such an advantageous nature has ever yet been offered to the public. We likewise see amongst our advertisements a splendid Mansion and 2000 Acres for sale, near the Coast in the county of Dorset. This property is such as seldom or perhaps never will be equalled : it possesses in an es| iecial degree all the desideratums for a family of the first re- spectability, who may wish for their country seat to be in the best possible neighbourhood, near to many places of fashionable notoriety, and within easy distances of Bath and London. The terms on which it may be ob- tained are exceedingly in favour of the buyer. On Tuesday evening, Walter Bromley, Esq. an officer in his Majesty's Navy, who is travelling through the county of Dorset, on behalf of the British & Foreign School Society, convened a meeting of many of the inha- bitants of Dorchester, when he offered many important and interesting facts on the subject of general education ; bis statements were luminous, and evinced much n.- al in the cause. Whit Tuesday being the day for the annual festival of the Spetisbury Friendly Benefit Society, it is expected that the visitors will be very numerous, if the weather prove favourable. This society may justly boast of distinguished patronage, having upwards of forty of the Nobility arid Gentry of the county as honorary mem- bers, and its funds are in a most flourishing suite. The anniversary will be held in the park of the patron of the society, where an excellent band will enliven the scene, and every accommodation will be provided for the com- pany. CRICKET On Monday last a long and well- contested match was played between II of Newton Toney and 11 of Cholderton and Shipton, which was decided in favour of the latter. BIRTH.— May the 21st, at Shroton, Dorset, the lady of Captain Ryves, Royal Navy, and C. B., of a son and heir. On Wednesday last was married at East Tytherly, by the Rev.
