BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH, NEW- ROAD, KING'S- CROSS, LONDON. MR. MOIUSON, the President, and Mr. MOAT, the Vice- President, in conjunction with ail the Honorary Members, and Country Agents of the British College of Health, being now fully borne out wath the conviction, approbation, and indubitable proofs, of upwards of 200,00( 1 individuals ( who had been thrown aside by the Fa- culty, and out of the Hospitals, as incurable) having been restored to sound health by the " Universal Medicines-," with all this incontro- vertible mass of evidence in support of the Hygeian Theory and Prac- tice, which challenges the controversy of the whole body of Medicists, under the old system to subvert, they, the heads of the College, hesitate not to declare, In the face of - the Faculty, that this new light must com- pletely change the whole course of the Materia Medica, and introduce a new era in the science of physic : that, in fact, mankind will be taught, in future, a new and certain mode of investigating the nature and cause of Diseases in general, and of possessing a certain and harmless mode of cure, making every individual his own efficient doctor. In confirmation of what is here asserted, the heads of the College mean to insert, in this Paper,- a continued series of new cases, from individuals giving their names, residences, and dates of time of cure, all of which have been veluntarily given, and ascertainable as to the facts. by inquiry. TO MR. I'ROUETT, P. II. S. Sir,— With heartfelt gratitude to the Supreme Disposer of all things, and to you as an instrument in dispensing the Vegetable Universal Me dicine, I request you to publish my case and cure. for the benefit of the afflicted. From experience, I am convinced of the truth of Mr. Mori- son's theory, as set forth in the " Origin of Life," and of the efficacy of your medicine in all curable disease, let it appear in any form whatever, though those forms of disease may be deemed incurable by the Faculty. For several years I have been afflicted with most tormenting pains, which commenced in a violent bilious attack, succeeded by a compli- cated form of disease, viz. accumulation of bile, worms at the chest, pains of the fiver, with very little appetite, bleeding piles, and bearing down of the body, at times to that degree that I have not been able to rest night or day. When I applied to your agent for Leicester, I never expected a cure, yet hope led me to make trial of that medicine I heard so highly and repeatedly recommended. Having tried tbe Faculty to very little purpose, I began to take the Universal Medicine in doses of four pills of No. 1, and six of No. 2, every night, with the Aperient 1' owders two or three times a day. In a short time I found great benefit from the bile and chest worms passing from me in great abundance. After taking the pills eight weeks, I found but little benefit from the bleeding piles, and why V— because I did not abide by the directions re- lative to strong doses, taking more of No. 2 than No. 1; but by the advice of your indefatigable agent, Mr. Breedon, I rose up to fifteen and twenty of Nos. 1 and 2 alternately, daily, though tempted to give it up as a hopeless case. Having commenced strong doses, I sooii was relieved from every distressing form of disease which my afflicted body was exposed to, and after perseverance for several months, do affirm that I am perfectly cured by Morison's pills alone. In sincerity, I pub- licly acknowledge the benefit derived, that my suffering fellow- creatures rj? ay be encouraged to use the same means, which are administered not fpr any particular complaint, but for the blood, that by the removal of impure humours the pure blood again flows to every part of tbe body, ind consequently restores the patient to perfect health. In gratitude, ' I remain yours truly, MARY BREEDON. Wood- street, Leicester, May 2, 1831. TO MR. MORISON. Sir^~ I beg leave to add to the number of astonishing cures that have been performed by your " Universal Medicine," the following statement < rt' my caee and cure, by it only:— I was, about eiglit years ago, most severely afflicted with the bleeding piles, which brought on what is termed a running fistula, which incapacitated mefrom following any kind of employment for weeks and months, at different periods. I have been operated upon, but the complaint returned again with great violence. I applied to be operated upon again, but was refused 011 account of my age ( 54). I had ihen no hope of relief from my complaint; but a gentle- man hearing of my Case, requested me to try tlie " Universal Medicine" ( he having proved its efficacy on himself, and particularly on its having completely removed ® cataract on the eye of a female relative, which he is ready to attest on my inquiry), and kindly gave i » . e a supply, direct- ing me to take fifteen pills of No. 2 every night, and five more every morning, which, iu so adhering to without intermission, I most posi- tively affirm, and am ready to testify to any one who may inquire, that by taking the aiwve medicine, I was perfectly cured in six weeks, and have been able to follow my business ( that of a printer) ever since, now three months ago, and have enjoyed better health than I have expe- rienced for the last fifteen years. I should also mention that, about a month after 1 commenced taking the pills, I voided two pieces of ( lead flesh, or apparent- decayed liver, without any pain whatever; and that, after that discharge, the cure was very rapid indeed. Should you think Eroper to add the above cure to your certificates, I shall, in duty bound, e glad to give any information in my power. With every grateful feel- ing", I am, Sjr, your linmble servant, Skinners' Alms House, London, Aug. 1, 1831. BENJ. BEVERIDOE.

T~ r" RECOMMENDED BY THE FACULTY. ~ MOX O N ' S EFFERVESCENT MAGNFSIAN APERIENT, decidedly the most agreeable saline purgative ever offered to the public.— This unique preparation unites all the active powers of the most approved saline purgatives, with the palatable qualities of a glass of soda water; but, unUke them, it never produces the slightest pausea. In torpid state of the liver and bowels, bilious affections, cholera morbus, nains in the head from constipation, a dis- ordered state of the stomach, nausea, and violent sickness, it will be found a safe, speedy, and eft'ecf. jial remedy. It gives instantaneous re- lief in the heartburn, is of great service in preventing piles, fistula, and gout, aud in alleviating the febrile symptoms attendant on the latter affection. Derangement of the stomach, & c.? arising from a too free indulgence in the gratifications of the table, is speedily removed by a tea- spoonful taken early in the morning.-.- Sold wholesale and retail by Moxon and Swith, chemists, Hull, and at. their depot, 41, Ludg^ te- street; Sanger, 6\ for/ I- street; Johnson, Cornhill, London : also, at all the wholesale medicine - warehouses in Jj^ wUm; and J. and R.

" We wish to recommend to our readers the Lady's Magazine. It was formerly published by Robinson, but in the year 1830 it changed proprietors, and was continued under the appropriate title of4 Improved Series;' which, indeed, without requiring any particular talent, it might easily sustain. But the work before us assumed a tone and character which called down upon itself the venom and hatred of its then luckless contemporaries. Devoted as it is more immediately to the service of the Ladies, its monthly display of Fashions no longer exhibited a merely dressed- out figure in a new costume, but an elegant company of Fe- males, beautiful in appearance, and engraved with such exquisite art, that our English engravers ( for the plates are all executed in Paris, and present the newest, mode) candidly avow that they are deserving to be ranked amongst works of far greater pretensions. There is also pub- lished in each Number an Embellishment of a different description, a Portrait of some Eminent Character, or a picture representation of some other interesting subject. " As a picture- work it is decidedly superior to any published— Sharpe's Magazine is the only just comparison with it; that really failed by rea- son of its excellence, for it could not command a sale sufficient to com- pensate the spirited proprietor: nor could it be expected, when thou- sands of subscribers were necessary for a return, when, under ordinary circumstances, hundreds only would have been sufficient to have left a profit. " We have spoken of the embellishments, which can best be judged of by an inspection of the volumes. These can be seen, or ought to be, in every respectable circulating library; or if not, the public should re- quire them to become subscribers to it. " We will now turn to the pages of this periodical. A part of the work, it is true, contains matter interesting alone to the fair sex; but the general reading matter is highly amusing, and oftentimes very in- structive. The reviews are marked by sound discrimination and unbiassed iliHcrmpnt on fho* •'~-- *— judgment, so that to be praised in the Improved Series of the Ladv's Magazine, argues no little merit; and the manner in which it is got up reflects no smal praise upon Mr. Page, the publisher, by whose permis- sion we see the beautiful Fashions are exclusively used for the ' Follet Courrier des Salons' » "< i • U . . and the ' Lady's Magazine ;' thereby possessing the double value of originality, that they are such as no other work can imitate, and reallv fashions to be worn by the elite of Paris and London. " We should not have so highly commended the Lady's Magazine, which, for distinction- sake, we w ill say is published by . Mr. Page, at No. 112. Fetter- lane, had not this been tbe season when, at the close of the half- year, eyes are abroad to find out the best periodical to subscribe to; and that we felt confident our recommendation would be looked ujKin as just, and esteemed as a favour by those who set a value upon and delight in encouraging merit." We transcribe the following document, establishing our right to the exclusive privilege of importing and publishing the Fashion Plates of the Follet, Courner des Salons :— " We, the undersigned, jointly concerned with James Page, publisher, & c. in London, in . England, in quality of proprietors of the riglit of pub- lishing certain Engravings published by us in Paris, and by the same parties in London, authorise, by the present writing, the use of our names in all proceedings w hich the said parties may find it necessary to institute, for the prevention of the counterfeit publication of the said Engravings published by us in France, and by them iu England, in a work named Le Follet, Courrier des Salons.

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. • HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY, JULY 9. Some petitions were, presented. The Earl of GLENGALL, in reference to an opinion heretofcra, expressed by Lord Plunket, asked on what authority, or Act cf Parliament, it was declared that it was illegal for the magistracy to call out the yeomanry in Ireland, for the suppression of dV*- j turbances. Lord PLUNKET declared it to be well known, that neither by the common law, nor the statute law, did such power exist; and* in return, he begged to ask, what Act of Parliament gave tins; authority ? The Earl of GLENGALL gave notice that be should bring forward the subject in the shape of a resolution. Earl GREY submitted that the magistracy in Ireland could. net call out the yeomanry as a " military" body : that power, however,. was vested in the Lord Lieutenant. I After a few words from the Duke of Wellington, and the Mar- qui es Clanricarde and Londonderry, the conversation dropped. PUNISHMENT OF DEATH RILL.— Lord WYNFOBK said, as, the mover of the amendments to this bill, which had- beeru objected to by the House of Commons, he would give up all ihojf* amendments, but the first and last, and would, jlierefore, move fet the amendment to the first section and that to the last section le insisted on. After a few- words from Lord Dacre and the Duke of Wellington. The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed his concurrence ui tfcs first and the last amendments, which he thought were great raa*- provements on the bill, and which, without any disrepect to tk « other House, he thought ought to be insisted upon. The resolutions— that the House do insist upon the araendmeaM to the first and last section, were then put and agreed to. A committee of their lordships was then ordered to hold a con-, ference with the House of Commons, which conference accordingly took place. DIVISION OF COUNTIES ( ENGLAND) BILL.— On th » motion for the third reading of the Euglish reform boundaries MIL, the Marquis of Clanricarde moved that Dursley should be sn& » stituted for Thornbury, as the polling place for the western divisitic of the county of Gloucester, which was carried by a majority of 1- 9- Aruudel was added to the polling place for the county of Sussex*. The bill was then passea. REFORM ( SCOTLAND) BILL.— The House went into com- mittee on this bill. Tlie Earl of HADDINGTON moved an instruction to the com- mittee to provide for the representation of the Universities of Scofcr l uid, by giving one member to the University of Edinburgh, King s College, Aberdeen, and Marischal College, Aberdeen, and one member for the Universities of Glasgow and St. Andrew's j tlie- right of voting to he in the office - bearers and graduates in Scotland The LORD CHANCELLOR said he felt affection and respect for the Universities of Scotland; but his noble friend had net.' satisfied him that there could be found a constituency, or thi materials for a constituency for them. After some further observa- i tions from the- noble and learned lord, the motion was put a » e! negatived. After a short discussion and some amendments proposed ' iua£ been negatived, the first seven clauses were agreed to, the chaiftnftTi reported progress and obtained leave to sit again. Adjourned at half past twelve o'clock. TUESDAY, JULY 10. A mes- age from the Commons brought up the baundarjt- A ( England) bill, with the Lords' amendments agreed to; the general cemetery bill; Ihe Zemindar of Nozeed's bill, with ameRdmeata- agreed to; and the Scotch peers' bill; and also notified, that tbn. Commons did not insist on disagreeing from the amendments made; by their lordships in the punishment of death bill, but had agreed, to them. The report of the committee on the anatomy bill was read„ aEd., agreed to, and the biil was ordered to be read a third tiuie. on. Friday next. On the motion of the Earl of llosebery, the amendment made by the Commons in the Scotch peers' bill were put, and ag » eedto. » " REFORM OF PARLIAMENT ( SCOTLAND) BILL.— Tins bill was further considered in committee j several amendmentsne. ro, proposed and adopted. ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS' CONTEMPTS BILL.— After:, a complaiut on the part of the Marquis of Westmeath, that this bill was meant to have a retrospective effect, particularly, as regarded. his ( the Marquis's) case, which assertion was rebutted by the Lord\ Chancellor, tiiis bill was read a third lime and passed, and tie House adjourned at a quarter past nine o'clock. WEDNESDAY, JULY 11. The. royal assent was given by commission, to the houndaty bitf,. the punishment of death bill, the Scotch peers' privilege bill^ irCT- - general cemetery hill, the Zemindar of Nozeed bill, and seveai private bills.

On the motion of the Earl of MINTO, the third reading of the anatomy bill was postponed till Thursday next. Adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS— MONDAY, JULY 9. Amongst other petitions, several were presented by hon. mem- bets. in favour of the ministerial plan of education in Ireland, and one or two against it. REFORM OF PARLIAMENT ( IRELAND) BILL.— Mr. STANLEY moved the order of the day for the committal of this bill. The Right Hon. Gentleman stated, in answer to a question of Mr. Dundas, that Ministers could not pledge themselves, at that late period ofthe session, to proceed with the Bribery at Elections Prevention Bill before the prorogation. The House having resolved itself into Committee on this bill, Mr. D. BROWNE moved the disfranchisement of several boroughs in Ireland, and that the fianchise be transferretl to other places, which he named ; but, after some obsetvations by Mr, Stanley, the Hon. Member said he would not press his motion to a division, his object being merely to put on record his opinions uf its expediency. On the postponed clause, 54, being read, Mr. JEPIISON rose to propose that the elective franchise should be transferred from the Scholars of Dublin University to the Mas- ters of Arts ; and also, that all persons who had taken the degree of Bachelor of Arts should have the liberty to replace their names on the books of the Dublin University. The students were mostly intended for the church or for the bar; and if the right of voting was left exclusively in their hands, they would elect either a stickler for ecclesiastical abuses or a lawyer; and, though he had the greatest respect for the latter class of persons, he must say that he thought there was enough of them in the House already ; and he did not believe them to possess, in any eminent degree, those qualities which were essential in a Member of Parliament— industry and common sense. ( Liughter.) Mr. CROKER objected to the amendment, on the ground that the resident scholars would be completely overpowered by the great number of out- voters whom it would let in. He thought it would answer every useful purpose, if words were added to the clause in the bill, which would extend the franchise to all persons who ob- tained the degree of Master of Arts, or any higher degree. Mr. JEPIISON withdrew his amendment, and moved the in* sertion of the words suggested by the Right Hon. Member. After a short discussion, the amendment, thus altered, was put and carried. Mr. STANLEY proposed to add a proviso to the clause, with a view to'exclude honorary graduates from the right of voting, which was adopted, and the clause agreed to. Clause 55 was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then proceeded to schedule A, which was agreed to without discussion. Schedule B, after some verbal amendments, was agreed to. Schedule C, after some technical amendments to the seventh Clause had been adopted, was agreed to. Schedule D was agreed to, as was also the preamble. The House then resumed, the bill was reported and ordered to Ve printed, and the report lo be taken into further consideration on Friday next. PUNISHMENT OF DEATH BILL CONFERENCE— A message from the Lords requested a conference in the Painted Chamber.— The request was complied with.— On the return of the deputation, Mr. EWART informed the House that the Lords persisted in the amendment which they had made. Lord ALTHORP said that, under existing circumstances, he would move that the House should agree to the Lords' amendments. The motion was then agreed to. _ REFORM BILL.— STATE OF IRELAND.— On the mo- tion that the House should resolve itself into a committee on the Irish Boundaries Bill, Lord J. RUSSELL, in answer to a question by Sir R. Peel relative to the dissolution of Parliament, said, that the registration would not be completed till the 1st of December, and if a dissolu- tion took place before that period, the registration would be null and void. He would leave the Right Hon. Baronet to draw his own inferences front that statement. To a question put by Mr. Hume, Mr. STANLEY said, tha 1 Government had certainly received information that the Orange-' men were preparing to celebrate the 12th of July by processions. Government had made every arrangement for preserving the pub- lic peace, and would niatk, with ptoofs of their disapprobation, any persons under their control who should encourage or attend the processions. The House then resolved itself into a committee on the Irish Bbundaries Bill. The bill then went through committee. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at three o'clock. TUESDAY, J ULY 10, A few petitions were presented. Mr. SPENCE brought forward his application for leave to bring in a bill to diminish the delays and expenses in the Court of Chancery. He entered into details illustrative of the necessity of such a measure.— Motion agreed to. Mr. RICE obtained leave to bring in a bill to regulate those charities in Ireland which are partly maintained by Grand Jury assessments. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the creditors of Faunt- leroy and Co., complaining of the negligence of the Bank of Eng- land, through which the forgeries had been perpetrated, and pray- ing that the Bank Charter might not be renewed. Mr. Hume's motion was for returns of all forgeries in the transfer of stock since 1800. • Sir E. SUGDEN deprecated any discussion, as the question was under consideration in a court of law. He was followed by Alderman Thompson, Sir C. Wetherell, & c.; but the papers were granted without a division. CUSTOMS' DUTIES BILL.— On the motion of the CHAN- CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the House resolved itself into a committee on the Customs Duties Bill. Mr. P. THOMSON moved that a sum of 803!. should be paid out of the Consolidated Fund, to purchase the port charges on wines imported into the County Palatine of Lancaster, for the year 1833. To an objection made by Mr. Hume, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the motion would not have the cffect contemplated by the Hon. Member. The only object was to free the port of Liverpool from this tax. The House then resumed, and the report was ordered to be Teceived next day. IRISH TITHES.— Mr. STANLEY moved the order of the day for resuming the adjourned debate on the Irish Tithes Bill. Mr. HUME contended that it ought to be postponed till the new Parliament was returned. Mr. STANLEY observed that the Government stood pledged to one of the Bills— that one which made the Tithe Composition Act permanent and compulsory. After the debate had proceeded for some time, Mr. MULLINS moved that it should be adjourned till Friday, on account of the thin attendance. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at half- past two o'clock. WEDNESDAY, JULY 11. At one o'clock the house met, and were summoned to the bar of the House of Peers, when the Royal assent was given, by com- mission, to the Boundaries Bill, the Punishment of Death Bill, the General Cemetery Bill, and some others. An adjournment until four o'clock then took place. At four o'clock the House met again, but the Members who attended were of a different class from those who formed it at one o'clock, as they consisted, with the exception of Mr. Sheil, almost exclusively of the opposition. Several petitions were presented by Colonel Percival and Lord Cole, from ljoyal Orange lodges, against the Government plan of education in Ireland ; and one by Mr. Lefroy, from the Protestant Conservative Society, against the Irish Boundaries Bill. Lord STORMONT then moved the- orders of the day, which were summarily disposed of, and the House then adjourned. THURSDAY, IULX 12. — Mr. EASTHOPE postponed his motion for various Returns respecting the Bank of England's affairs, profits, & c. to Tues- day, the 17th inst. RUSSIAN DUTCH LOAN.— Lord ALTHORP then rose, and begged to call the attention of the House to the Treaty with the Emperor of Russia, which had lately been laid upon the Table. The House was already generally aware of the circumstances connected with the case before them : they were aware, that in 1815, a Treaty had been entered into between the King of the Netherlands, this country, and the Emperor of Russia, where- by the King ofthe Netherlands and the King of Great Britain took upon themselves the payment of a loan due. from Russia. The second article of that treaty provided, that Great Bri- tain and the King of the Netherlands should continue to pay the interest of the loan at the rate of five per cent., with a sinking fund of one per cent., until the loan should be extinguished ; but with this condition, that if a separation should take place be- tween Belgium and Holland, the payment was then to cease. As the case at present stood, a separation had certainly taken place between these two countries; and the question to be decided was, whether that separation was of such a nature, that by the fact of its having occurred, this country was exonerated in honour and jus tice from the payment stipulated by the Treaty. It appeared to him ( Lord Althorp) that the separation contemplated by the Treaty was one which should take place by means of a foreign force. This was manifest from the great objections of the parties to it at the time, and the apprehensions entertained of the power of France, from which it was, in his opinion, plain that the separation contem- plated was no other than one which should be effected by a foreign power. This was confirmed by the secrettreaty entered into at the same time, one article of which declared, " That supposing an enemy should ever be in possession of Belgium for the space of one year, still the payments under the other treaty should be con- tinued." Nothing whatever had been said of any other descrip- tion of separation. The object of the treaty was evidently to make Russia interested in giving her opposition to such a separa- tion as that contemplated ; but Russia, it was true, now concurred in the separation that had taken place ; but how 1— in concurrence with the wishes of the country, and not in any way in opposition to them. Then could it be said, that if a party engaged in a treaty for a certain object, and that a condition was annexed, the fulfilment of which was agreed upon to be enforced, lie asked, could it be said that the party at whose instance the condition had been abandoned was at liberty to turn round and say, " I stand on the letter of this contract, and I will not abide by its spirit 1" It appeared to him ( Lord Althorp) that this was so contrary to every principle of honour, that such a course of conduct could not be contemplated in any country. Circumstances had, no doubt, changed technically, and although this country was bound in honour to fulfil the treaty of 1815, still under the altered cir- cumstances of the case it was necessary and fitting that a change should be made in the terms of the engagement. This had been done, although it could have no effect on the equity or the sub- stance of the former agreement, and was but an alteration in terms, With this view, the treaty lately laid upon the table had been en- tered into, and it bore date immediately after the treaty which had recognized the separation between Belgium and Holland. He had now stated the circumstances of the case, and he felt a difficulty in conceiving on what grounds any gentleman who wished to support the national faith (" hear, hear," from the Ministerial, re- echoed from the Opposition side) would object to enable his Majesty1! Government to. confirm and act upon this treaty. The Noble Lord concluded by moving, " That the House do resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, lo take into consideration the con- vention entqred into between his Majesty and the Emperor of all the Russias, on the 16th of November, 1831, and presented to this House on the 2? th of June last." Mr. HERRIES entered at great length into the subject, giving the history of the different treaties, beginning with that of the 13th of August, 1814, under which the obligation ofthe loan was con- tracted, and concluded by moving the following resolution, as an amendment upon the original motion :—'' That it appears to this House that the payment made by the Commissioners of the Trea- sury, on account of the interest due on the Russian Loan, in Hol- land, in January last, when the obligation and authority to make such payments had, according to the terms ofthe convention with Holland and Russia, and of the act of Parliament founded thereon, ceased and determined ; and also when a new convention with Russia, not then communicated to this House, had been entered into, recognizing the necessity of recurring to Parliament for power to continue such payments under the circumstances which attended the separation which had taken place between Holland and Belgium, was an application of the public money not warranted by law." Dr. LUSHINGTON said, that he had listened attentively to the statement of the right hon. gentleman, and had experienced no small degree of astonishment to hear him address the House for so long a time, on a question which had been before completely dis- cussed. He ( Dr. Lusliington) considered that this question had been already substantially settled, and if any new circumstances bad occurred since the decision to which the House came on a former occasion, those circumstances rather served to establish the pro- priety of that decision, than to produce any alteration in its re- corded sentiments. The hon. and learned gentleman then pro- ceeded to rebut the arguments of the right hon. member ( Mr. Herries), and added, he thought that ministers had fulfilled a sacred obligation, which, if they had. not done, they would have brought disgrace on themselves and their country. ( Hear, hear.) The right hon. gentleman had preached up the constitutional doctrine, of re gard for the public money and non- payment without the authority of Parliament, but he ( Dr. Lusllington) was certain that the people of England, anxious as they might be for economy, were too pru- dent, too well- informed, and too honourable, to desire that Govern rnent should relieve themfrom the paymentwhich prior stipulations had unfortunately imposed upon them, at the expense of the honour and integrity of the British Government. ( Cheers from the opposi- tion.) In conclusion, he repeated that Ministers had put the only sound interpretation upon the treaty. ( Cheers.) Mr. BARING supported the view taken of the question by Mr. Herries, and concluded by saying, that he would not assert that the noble Secretary for Foreign Affairs might not be able to make out a case that would justify payment to Russia; all he would say was, that such a case had not at present been made out; and that not i word had been advanced which deserved to be viewed as an an. swer to the arguments of his right hon. friend. Colonel DAVIES said, that although he was ever determined to oppose the wasting of the public money, yet he found it impos sible to vote for the resolution brought forward as an amendment to the proposition of the noble lord ( Althorp.) Mr. MACAULEY would trouble the House with a very few ob- servations, which had been rendered almost unnecessary by the able, the unanswerable, speech of his hon. and learned friend. After commenting on the treaties already alluded to, the hon. gentleman contended, that as Russia had not done anything in violation of her part of the agreement, we were still bound to make good our part ofit. He should give his vote upon that principle; and that vote he should be prepared to avow and to defend before any con- stituency in England. He believed that it was possible to make the people of England understand the necessity of preserving the perfect identity of the state ;— he believed that it was possible t( make them understand that in public as well as in private transac tions, honesty was the best policy. ( Hear, hear.) He believed that it was possible to make them understand that it was their duty to pay what they owed— that a state, whose good faith in the dis charge of its engagements was doubted, was already in a perilous situation,— that the preservation of peace was a matter of interest all classes, and that it depended materially on the preservation its good faith in all its engagements. ( Cheers.) Sir C. WETHERELL asserted that the debate on the other side had been conducted with great political cunning. After going, some length, into argument on the question, the hon. and learned member concluded by saying, that without any assumption or affectation, he must repeal, that a more flagrant violation of duty in the construction of a treaty never did, and probably never would exist. ( Hear, hear.) The ATTORNEY GENERAL, after replying to the arguments of Sir C. Wetherell, said, his horn and learned friend had made several allusions to what he supposed likely to happen on the hus- tings at the next elections. This showed the object of this motion, first and last; for the same sort of language was held on a former occasion, when they heard of appeals to the people from those who had seldom before mentioned them but with contempt,— when they heard so much talk of economy, and of this hocus pocus trick— this kind of Midas- like touch, by which 1,800,000(. was turned into ,000,000/.— who, he asked, could doubt that this question was not brought forward for the honour of Parliament, but for any thing rather than for the honour of the country ? Nobody could for a moment doubt the object. He would ask the riglit hon. gentleman ( Mr. Herries) what was the object? Did they admit this country was bound to make good the engagement, ay or no? Or did hon. gentlemen mean to assert that if they came into office they would endeavour to so spell the treaty as by its verbal construction to de- feat the claim of Russia ? If not, then what meant all this parade about economy and the guardianship of the public purse. The re- solutions, he contended, merely implied a censure on the Crown lawyers, and had nothing to do with the question of- the letter or spirit of the treaty, as to which there could be no doubt. Mr. [ F. POLLOCK made some observations on the question, and concluded by saying, he fully agreed in the necessity of ad- hering to national faith, but he denied that this was a question of national faith. It was a question involving the conduct of ministers, which Parliament ought to observe with vigilance. If ministers had acted wrong ( and their own doubt and hesitation condemned, them), they should have asked for an act of indemnity, which would have marked the legislature's sense of the mis- conduct, instead of com- ing down to the House with those resolutions. ( Hear, bear.) Sir E. SUGDEN said that the real dry question before the House, was, whether there had been a breach of the law or not ; and, if there had, then, whether they ought to pass resolutions con- demnatory of the conduct of ministers. It was impossible that any reasonable man could reconcile the construction of the treaty of 1815 with the convention of 1831 ; if any reasonable man de- clared he eould, he ( Sir E. Sugden) would give up the argument. The construction ofthe treaty by the convention of 1831, was that Great Britain should pay the money without inquiring whether there had beeu a severance or not. It was taking advantage of a new construction of the treaty to make a present to Russia to con- sent to a severance which it was the very object of that treaty to prevent. He never gave a vote more cordially than he should do to- night. Lord PALMERSTON said, the hon. gentlemen on the other side had been asked, whether it was their opinion that England was bound to continue to make the payments to Russia.—( Hear.) To that question no answer had been specifically stated, though he ( Lord Pahnerslon) could undertake to state that they thought that this country was bound—( hear): he drew this conclusion from their conduct, not from their words. They did not meet the ques- tion directly; they reverted to a question which had been already disposed of, months ago, in this house, because they thought there was more chance of success on a point which had beeu carried by a narrow division.—( Hear.) But since that time, ministers bad produced additional documents to Parliament, and had explained what ll ey could not explain at the former period. The noble lord then went into a minute history of the origin of the loan. After which he went on to say the Government of Great Britain, not the present but the late Government, when called upon by the King of Holland in the October following the revolution in Belgium to afford him military aid to re establish his authority there, which it had a right to do if it pleased, refused to do so, and thus, in fact, was the severance of Belgium from Holland accomplished by the moral au- ority and example of Great Britain; for the Emperor of Russia, hen a similar application was forwarded to him. by the Dutch King, expressed his readiness to comply with it, and to march i60,000 men to his aid, and it was only the example of this country Vhat prevented him from doing so. With what face could we, un- der such circumstances, say to Russia, that we would no longer continue those payments on account of the separation of Holland and Belgium— a separation which our own example and. moderate counsels liad induced Russia not to step forward to prevent ? ( Hear, hear.) In conclusion he said, if the House should refuse its consent to this convention, the character of this country would be sunk so low, that he would despair of its holding henceforth any advantageous or amicable relations with the Powers of Europe. ( Hear.) Sir R. PEEL, after stating his opinion at some length, con- cluded in the followii g words:— Looking, therefore, at the facts in the most favourable puint of view, he could only come to the con- clusion that the House would do right in voting for the amendment on the original question, because, though it might be. subsequently admitted that the national honour aud faith were both implicated in the continued payment of the loan guaranteed by the treaty in question, yet it was necessary for the House to guard their consti- tuents, the nation at large, against the consequences of establish- ing a precedent, by which future Ministers should imagine they were able to take similar responsibilities upon themselves, when guarded by large, and, indeed, overwhelming majorities of that House ( cheers.) Lord J. RUSSELL said, he was surprised that, after so many charges of duplicity and other harsh terms, no Gentleman at the other side of tile House had given an opinion whether this country was bound injustice and fairness to continue the payment of this money. The Right Hon. Gentlemen at the opposite side of the House seemed certainly to have adopted a manoeuvre of debate, in taking credit for a desire to save the public money, whilst he was convinced, that if the matter came to a vote they would be obliged to admit, that this country could not be absolved front the payment of the money—( loud cheers.) Mr. CROKER said, his right hon. friend had asked whether, in case of a war with Russia, we should be bound to continue the payment of this money; and the noble lord had nodded assent. He would say that he would never support so absurd and prepos- terous a proposition as that of subsidizing our enemy. Lord PALMERSTON referred to the treaty of 1815, from which he read an extract, by which this country was bound to continue the payments, notwithstanding the breaking out of war between any of the parties. The House then divided, and the numbers were— For the motion, 243; for the amendment, 197;— majority for ministers, 46. The House went into committee pro forma, after which the chair- man reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday. In answer to a question from Colonel Sibthurp, relative to the possibility of the payment of the Deccan prize money, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the arrangements were in a state of great forwardness, and that next week he expected that a minute of the Treasury would be issued for the distribution of the funds. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a quarter to five o'clock. FRIDAY, JULY 13. Several petitions were presented. TITHES.— IRELAND.—( ADJOURNED DEBATE).— Mr. STANLEY moved the order of the day for resuming the adjourned debate on his motion for leave to bring in a bill to make the commutation of tithes in Ireland compulsory. Mr. CALLAGHAN was by no means a willing opponent of the present Government, but felt it to be a duty lie owed his country to oppose their present scheme with respect to Irish tithes, and to vote for the rational proposition of the hon. member for Wicklow. Mr. W. PEEL would give the right hon. Irish Secretary's mo- tion his cordial support. Mr. BENETT would also give the right hon. gentleman's mo- tion the best support, as he conceived that no houester or wiser could be well proposed under existing circumstances, or one which the Irish landlord ought to hail with more satisfaction. Tithes, were the property of the state ( hear), to be disposed of as best promoted the interest of the state;— those wha talked in. another strain, were either grossly ignorant of facts, or wilfuf misrepre- sented of them. fHear, hear.) Lord KILLEEN would support the amendments of his hon. friend, the member for Wicklow, as they were definite, simple, practicable, just in principle, and calculated to satisfy the people of Ireland. Mr. CAMPBELL would vote against the amendment, and in favour of the right hon. Irish Secretary's motion, as he conceived the former to be false in principle, inasmuch as they struck at the root of all property by stigmatizing tithes as a tax. Mr- O'CONNELL said Uiat he gave his cordial dissent to the motion of the right hon. Secretary for Ireland, and his hearty con- currence to the resolutions of his hon. friend. He did not know a more contemptible mockery than the species of discussion respecting Irish affairs, which had taken place on the motion before the house — adiscussion, in which the state of Ireland was totally forgotten, the conduct of the government to that country, was overlooked, and the entire union of the nation treated as if it were a combination of artificers, who had joined together for tiie purpase of robbing their employers. The people of Ireland were treated as colonists, their wants and desires were neglected: for could it be doubted, that, if they had a legislature of their own, tithes would not exist for one moment longer in that country ? The whole nation was com- bined against the system. He would tell the right hon. gen- tleman that it was a piece of insanity for him to attempt to keep up the church establishment of Ireland In its present state. He deeply deplored the conductwhich the right hon. Secretary had thought proper to pursue towards Ireland. He had acted more tike an enemy than a friend to that country, which had been de- livered oyer to him like a spoil to the hunter, to be worried and torn to pieces. But he warned the right lion, gentleman that, as he could have done last year what lie could not do this,, so he could do this year what lis would not bo able to do in the next. The right hon. gentleman was wasting time by proposing an unjust and impracticable scheme of compulsory composition, which the country had already rejected, when he should come forward and declare that the expression " the extinction of tithes" was not used as a mere juggle. ( Hear, hear.) The hon. and learned Member concluded by imploring tha Government not to press forward their proposed measures in the present advanced stag © of the session, but to postpone them till the meeting of a new Parliament, and in tha meantime to take a vote of credit for the purpose of relieving the distressed Protestant Clergy. If the right hon. Secretary had the interest of the clergy at heart, he would adopt that course, and he would then meet with the disinterested support of every man who represented the people of Ireland. ( Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL said, that if the object which the hon. and learned member had at heart was conciliation, the course which he had adopted that night was ill calculated to attain it. He was one of those who had voted for Catholic emancipation, because he thought that all classes of his Majesty's subjects ought to be placed on a footing of equality ; but he had never antitipated that that equality was to be converted into tyranny, and that those who had been admitted into all the privileges of the British constitution, should make so bad a use of those privileges as to become, in their turn, the oppressors of a once dominant and intolerant party,— Yet it was impossible not to see that it was the object of a certain party in Ireland to obtain, not by legislative means— legislative remedies for what they conceived to be grievances— but by means of force and violence, and then to compel the Legislature to follow- in the wake of that violence. ( Hear, hear.) The proposition of the hon. and learned Member embodied, in substance, though in a hidden and veiled manner, the whole of Dr. Doyle's plan. It was impossible that the House could entertain a proposition of that nature, unless they had made up their minds to effect an alteration in the appropriation of the church funds. He thought that the measure proposed by his right lion. Friend was that which was best suited to the occasion, and best calculated to meet tbe exigencies of the case, and that the plan which had been detailed by the lion, and learned Member ought to be left for future consideration. Mr. LEFROY expressed himself gratified at having heard the noble lord condemn the proposition of the hon. and learned mem- ber for Kerry, which was nothing but an imperfectly disguised plan for the spoliation of the Church of Ireland. The hon. and learned gentleman, after going into some detail on tbe revenues of the Irish Church, concluded by supporting the right hon. Secretary's motion. Sir J. BURKE said, to render the Composition Act compulsory, would be, in bis opinion, to alter its character entirely ; and he be- lieved, if it were thus brought into operation, it would act against the feelings of the people, and defeat die intentions of the right hon. secretary for Ireland. At the same time, he admitted that some measure of relief was necessary, whether by commutation, va- luations, or otherwise. Mr. H. GRATTAN was convinced that the right hon. secretary for Ireland would fail both in restoring peace to the country and in providing for the clergy. The proposed plan of relief appeared to him impracticable in operation. The measure proposed by the right lion, secretary was well meant, but he did not think that it contained any of the principles of sound and substantial legislation. Mr. STANLEY, in reply, contended, that one of the advantages of his bill would be, that it would extinguish, not nominally, but really, the most oppressive parts of the present system.—( Hear). Another advantage would be, that it would provfde a fund for a future Parliament to deal with, in case a future Parliament should deem it necessary to make a new appropriation of the revenues of the Church. It would likewise give the landlords of Ireland a bonus of fifleen per cent, on the whole amount of tithes, if they would undertake to redeem their lands from tithe, and make tithe a matter to be settled between themselves and their tenants, and not between their tenants and the Protestant clergyman. He did not mean to say that this Bill would meet all the grievances of the present system ; but this Bill had been admitted, upon all hands, to- be, as far as it went, a considerable benefit to Ireland. He, therefore, felt himself satisfied in pressing for leave to bring in the Bill which he had described to the house on a former evening. Lord EBRINGTON gave his unqualified support to the mea- sure of his right hon. friend. He had listened with the greatest at- tention to every gentleman, who had spoken in opposition to it; but he had not heard one of them propose any substitute for tithe to which he could give his assent. Mr. DAWSON was of opinion that this measure would not suc- ceed in establishing tranquillity in Ireland. He looked upon tha three bills of which the right hon. gentleman had given notice on this subject, as measures calculated to inflict the most fatal wounds on the church of Ireland which it had ever received. Whatever might be effect of the system of policy now proposed to be pursued, he would trke care not to be in any respect responsible for its operation. Sir R. PEEL proceeded to observe, that they ought, one all, to express their abhorrence of the most shameful system of tyranny that ever existed in any country— that system which now prevailed in Ireland. ( Hear, hear.) The. system which now prevailed must lead to general spoliation, and he called on his Majesty's Ministers to take decisive measures for the purpose of putting an end to it ( Hear.) Wishing to put down the conspiracy, he was determined to give all the support to the measure he could. ( Hear, hear.) Mr. CHAPMAN said, that the only way to put an end to the conspiracy or combination, was to do away^ with grievances which gave rise to it. Mr. PRAED said he would give his support to the whole of the measures of His Majesty's Ministers respecting Irish tithes, as far as he saw them. Major MACNAMARA concurred in the objections made by his hon. friend, tlie member for Kerry, to the proposition before the House. The House then divided,— For the amendment, 32; against it, 124 ;— majority for the original motion, 92. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. LIVERPOOL FRANCHISE BILL— After a desultory con- versation as to the practicability of proceeding with this bill in the present session, Mr. BENETT consented, in accordance with the prevalent feel- ing, to withdraw the bill. REFORM IN PARLIAMENT ( IRELAND) BILL— On the motion of Mr. Stanley the report, with amendments, was re- ceived, and the bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday. Adjourned at a quartet past two. ofclock. Sw\ y IS. THE TOWH. 227 REFORM FESTIVALS. CITY REFORM DITTOER. Wednesday being ftoc day fixed for the Civic Festival, to be • given to the Ministers and the leading members ® f the two houses of parliament, in commemoration of the passing of the Reform Bill, a very considerable sensation was created in the city. From four to five o'clock there was a continual arrival at the Guildhall of members of his Majesty's government, and of the two " houses of parliament. As the majority which carried the Reform Bill in both houses was present, it is unnecessary to particularize such members as were or were not present. The Duke of Sussex arrived nt - an eariy hour. Shortly afterwards EarlXSrey and Lord Althorp were ushered into the council chamber, and were accommodated with Chairs on the platform. On the Lord Mayor's appearance in court the business commenced by reading the . minutes of the last meeting. From those minutes it appeared, that on the 2d flf July flie Common Councilhad passed certain resolutions con- demnatory of the provisions of the Irish Reform Bill, and that they had declared that the court could not refrain from petition- ing the legislature to liberalise the Irish Reform Bill, by render- ing it in principle and in detail similar to the English Re- form Bill. The Chamberlain then read the resolutions, by which the freedom of the city was granted to Earl Grey and Lord Althorp. When this ceremony was accomplished, and their Xordships had taken the oaths of freedom, Sir J.. Shaw addressed Lord Grey, and in very eulogistic terms mentioned his Lordship's long- continued and untiring efforts in the cause of parliamentary reform, end congratulated him on his triumphaut accomplish- ment of that measure. Earl Grey then . rose, and addressed the court in a very ani- mated and feeling manner. His Lordship concluded, by saying, I trust that this measure of reform will be found a truly con- servative measure; and that, by the operation of this bill, car- rying into effect a full, fair, and free representation of the people, we shall seoure ® ur own liberties, and ensure that good govern, ment which in itself is a practical refutation of all tiie reproaches and sinister predictions of calamity and danger which our ene- mies have long been in the habit of casting out against us, as the result of a measure intended to remove the abuses of that con- stitution which- we all in common admire. 1 . have only, with a full and glowing heart, to return you my thanks for the, honour which you have just conferred upon me, and to thank your chamberlain for the very flattering terms in which this distinction lifts been. conferred upon me. The Chamberlain . then addressed Lord Althorp in very com- plimentary terms, and his Lordship returned a suitable reply. A member of the Common Council then moved that the ad- dress of the'Chamberlain to the two noble lords just admitted freemen should be placed upon the journals of the court. The motion was carried unanimously. The . company then left the Common Council Chamber, and proceeded to the Hall, where the dinner was laid out for them. The decorations Of the hall were most sumptuous and elegant. The . great eastern window was blocked up, . and cowered with a black shade, on which the word " Reform," a < crown, and " W. R.," were beautifully lighted with gas. Underneath, flags and weapons of various descriptions were grouped together with - very exquisite taste. Below this collection of banners a range of mirrors were placed reflecting the whole length - of tables in the hall, and alsD the various busts and monuments which grace the- sides of it. At the opposite « nd of the hall, in'the window between the statues of Gog and Magog, a cap of maintenance, with the sceptre and sword crossed, were also illuminated with ; gas. Below them was a beautiful transparency Of the Star of the Order of the Garter, which, however, appeared - more beau- tiful. in the mirror opposite than at did in its own . proper colours. Tbe various compartments of the hall were also elegantly defined • by the gas- lights, which reached, in long succession, from the floor to the vaulting of the hsdl. At stated distances from each other were placed banners, and images of men in armour, which, contrasting with the crimson . drapery with . which the hall was hung, gave . to > it a very singular and picturesque effect. • At six O'clock the Lord Mayer, attended ' by his distinguished - guests, • arrived from the Council- chamber, and were received with the most enthusiastic weleeme. . At that moment not less than eight hundred gentlemen naaust have been assembled in the Tiall, After the dinner was removed, the professional gentleman favoured the company with'" jNVm nobis, domine." Tiie Lord Mayor then- gave the'health Of " The King," which wasalrank with four times four. Song—"- God. eave the King:" The next toast was, " The Queen." The Lord Mayor, after eulogizing his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, . who stood so irigh in the esteem and affections • of the people for his consistent.- and patriotic conduct, concluded by proposing " the health of the Duke of Sussex, and the rest'of the Royal FamiLy." ( Great cheering.) The Duke of Sussex returned shanks, and expnessed his great - admiration of the conduct of Earl Grey and Lord Althorp. The Chairman then gave " The glorious triumph of Reform,' with three times - three. ( Drank with enthusiasm.) The ILord Mayor then gave, in a highly complimentary speech " The health of Earl Grey and his Majesty's Ministers." Earl Grey returned thanks, and in the conclusion of his speech thus expressed himself:— Still he would not hide from the meet- ing that ifihere never was a time in - Which it was move important that the people of England should assume a firm and imposing attitude. There were many - subjects of foreign policy of the first- rate importance . still undecided. Those subjects could only be settled by the certainty of tranquillity at home, and of con- fidence ahraad. The power of this oountry, founded as it is in peace, ought never to be exercised save for the benefit of man • kind. Let v. s refute tiie predictions of anarchy and confusion . which our opponents say will spring from reform, hy showing them the spectacle of a people united at home, and determined to resent and repel everything like insult or injury from abroad. Glee— Goddess of Er. eedom, from JOB. high behold us." Earl Grey then gave •" the health of the Lord Mayor, and prosperity to the city of - London." The Lord Mayor briefly returned thanks. The next toast was, " the Lord Chancellor, and his . Majesty's Ministers." ( Drank with . the greatest enthusiasm.) The Lord Chancellor said, he felt unspeakable satisfaction in coming as a citizen of London to celebrate the success of this cause, Which of itself was of immense importance, but which was enhanced by the . consideration,, that not one violation of the law had marked its progress, and that all who wished well to it— and they were all the friends of the country—- felt a confident ex- pectation that the law, the whole law, and nothing but the law, would in future be the fixed, tbje unaltered, and the eternal rule for the conduct of Englishmen. ( Chews.) The Lord Mayor then gave the health of Lord Althoip. His Lordship returned thanks, but not one single w- ord of what he uttered was heard in the body of the hall. The healths of Lord John Russell and the reformers of Eng- land, of Lord Plunkctt and the reformers of Ireland, and of the Lord Advocate and the reformers of Scotland, were drank with three times three. Lord John Russell, Lord Plunkett, and the Lord Advocate, severally returned thanks, hut were inaudible in that part of the hall where the reporters were situated. At ten o'clock the distinguished guests at the upper table left the hall, and were followed by a great majority of the - company. CELEBRATION OF REFORM.— On Tuesday about 600 of the working classes of Camberwell assembled in a spacious tent, erected for the occasion, in a field at Peckham, and partook of a substantial repast of roast beef and plum pudding, in celebra- tion of the passing of the Reform Bill. Benjamin Wood, Esq. presided, supported by the Right Hon. Charles Tennyson ( one of the candidates for the Borough of Lambeth), Mr. Alderman Wood, Mr. Samuel Palmer, of Walworth, and several highly respectable gentlemen. The meeting was conducted with the greatest propriety, order, and regularity. The health of his Ma jesty was drunk with great loyalty. It was followed by that of the Duke of Sussex and the rest of the Royal Family. The health of Mr. Tennyson and the Reformers - of England, and other appropriate toasts, were drunk, and, after three cheers had been given for the Ministers and Reform,, the tables were re- moved, and dancing commenced in { he true old English style.— The whole concluded with a grand display of fire- woiks. TRIUMPH OF REFORM AT UXMUDGE.—( From a Correspon- dent.)— A public demonstration of joy, in honour of the passing of the Reform Bill, took place on Wednesday last, by 1000 people of both sexes sitting down to a most excellent dinner, provided by the gentry and tradespeople of the town. The dinner was given in the High- street, and the tables ( reaching nearly a quarter of a mile) were tastefully ornamented with evergreens and flowers. Flags were flying in every direction, and a white having on it " Long live King William," & c. was hoisted on the top of ihe market- house. The morning was ushered in by the ringing of bells, firing of small arms, and the rapid as- semblage of vast numbers of people from the surrounding vil- lages. At one o'clock 1000 buns were distributed to the chil- dren of those who were to attend the dinner, amid a merry peal from " the steeple's hoary top." At four o'clock nearly 100 members of tbe Mechanic's Institute and their friends sat down to an excellent dinner, at their own expense, at the Bell inn, from the window of which a white flag was displayed, with the motto, " Knowledge is the guardian of Peace." As the clock struck five, the dinner to the public was brought down the street in the most complete manner, by means of a moveable table, from Mr. Green's, of the King's Arms inn, who provided for the whole, and was placed on the tables ; when, grace having been said, the work of demolition took place, the band of the Ux- bridge Volunteer Infantry playing " Oh the roast beef of Old England," and the bells ringing merrily. After dinner was over the whole of the company, amounting to about 10,000, repaired to the common, where a variety of rural sports were provided for their entertainment, which were kept up till darkness called upon the multitude to separate, which they did in the most or- derly and quiet manner. Perhaps no day of public amusement ever went off with so much quietness and good feeling. Every one present seemed determined to be in good humour, and the excel- lent exertions of the Committee, cordially uniting with the public views aud wishes, " had the effect of sustaining harmony and good- will among all. The town generally is mueh indebted to their ability and solicitude, for at a very early hour nearly all were in their beds, and a drunken man was not to be seen in the streets. The manner in which the day passed in this town, must do much to convince those who were against the Bill, that the lower classes have of themselves little inclination to disorder, except when worked upon by the artful and designing; the good sense and feeling displayed by them on this occasion, entitle them to the favourable consideration of their superiors and the public. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. The accounts from Canada, which reach to the 20th ult. con- tain the most distressing details of - the ravages which the cholera, was committing among the inhabitants of Quebec aud Montreal, and particularly among the unfortunate emigrants from England and Ireland. Tiie disease was remarkably virulent, proving, in many cases, fatal in one or two hours. A letter, dated Montreal, June 17, says— Great numbers that were walking our streets yesterday, are now in eternity. We see scarcely aiiy thing but carts with the dead." The disease did not confine its ravages to the poor, the dissolute, or the filthy; it had attacked all classes. The cases which had occurred at . Quebec were supposed to reach 2500, and the deatlis, in nine days, to the frightful number of 8001 The return of cases aud deaths at Montreal did not exhibit so large a number, the disease not having broken out there so soon as at Quebec. Tl> e deaths, however, in seven days, amounted to 300. The United States had not been visited by the pestilence. The citizens had'formed a cordon - sanetaire along the whole line ol frontier, and would not allow a sou! to pass ( the line. Letters received from Patras and JS'apuli, state lhat on the 9lh of May, the Commandant Zavella hoisted on the fortress of Patras the standard of Trince Qtlio. It bears a phoenix, surrounded by a wreath uf olive, with dhe inscription, « « •> © tho II., Sovereign Prince of Greece." Several other commanders hi - continental Greece and Peloponnesus are said to have done the same thing; and it is added', that'Coriduriotti, Colleti, Ipsilanti, Bozzaris, and Griva, the members of the - committee of Government, are so strongly suspected of . betraying the national interests, that it is expicted that a new committee will shortly be formed in the name of Prince Otha. The Allgeineine Xeitmrg - speaks df the interview between the Archduchess Marie Louise and her suffering • son, tlie young Napo- leon, as being most affecting, . all hope . of his recovery . seems to be at an end. Flogging with laths, the only corporal punishment that remained in use in the Prussian army, has just been abolished by order of tbe king. A report is current at Frankfort, that Prussia is about to contract a loan of SO. jQOO. iOOO of thalers ( 180,000,00 © francs), through the medium of the house of Messrs. Rothschild. The Frankfort papers announce that prosecutions have been in- stituted against all the persons who had taken a prominent part in • exciting the people at the late fete at Hambach, or who are sup- posed to belong to unlawful associations. The Paiis papers are wholly without political news. The Moni- teur contains an ordinance, authorising ( he Minister of Finance to contract for a loan of 150,000,000 francs ( 6; 0Q0,< 300f. sterling), at an interest of 5 per cent. LettoM from Constantinople represent the affairs of the Vice- Roy of Egypt as being in a perilous position.

FLOGGHK;.— On Mo- aday a meeting on the subject < of flogging in the army and navy took place on Kennington Common, Henry Hunt, Esq., M. P., in the chair. The Chairman $ aid that they were now met to express deliberately and firmly their opinion against the cruel system that prevails of torturing soldiers iu the army and sailors in the navy. The hon. member then went into a tolerably long history of what he had done hi Parliament to get rid of the abominable system of flogging. The secretary of the National Union of the Working Classes then read letters from Messrs. Hume, O'Counell, Tennyson, Sir F. Burdett, & c., apo- logising for their not being able to attend the meeting, but ex- pressing their wishes that the efforts of the meeting may be at- tended with success. Several resolutions, reprobating the prac tice of torturing soldiers and sailors were then read and carried; and the meeting dispersed. LUNATICS.— Return to an Address to his Majesty, dated 5th June 1832 ; for Return of the Number of Lunatics confined under the Authority of the Lord Chancellor, whose Property amounts tojless than 2001, per annum each, and the Total Annual Amounts of such Property; also, a similar Return of all; Luna tics, whose Property amounts to 200/. each per annum and upwards :• COUNTRY MISCELLANEA. The Dalystown estate, which is sold to pay off incumbrances, was the property of the late Right Hon. Denis Howes Daly, and i » situate near Loughrea. A curious discovery took place after Daly's death. The body of his wife, who died thirty years before, was found in a high state of preservation, in a small closet, to which none but Mr. Daly had access, and which, when at Dalys- to « n, be was in the frequent habit of visiting. At the time of the lady's decease, a funeral took place, and her inteiment, as was supposed, in a cenotaph erected on the grounds. The secret, how- ever, never transpired until after Mr. Daly's death. Such was his attachment to tliis lady, that it is said he wore, to the day of his death, the ashes of her heart in a locket.— Freeman's Journal. A curious contest has commenced at Bath. A Lord of the Bed- chamber, Lord James O'Bryen, has entered the field against the two reform ( and therefore government) candidates, General Palmer, the old member, and Mr. Hothouse, the Secretary at War's brother! It is with extreme regret we have to announce a considerable por- tion of Comber distillery, tiie property of Messrs. Johnson, Miller, and Co., was burned by fire on Tuesday morning. An Excise Of- ficer, accompanied by one of the partners and several of the work- men, were engaged in trying the strength of some liquor then in process of distillation. The dipping- rod, by some mischance, came into contact with a lighted candle. The consequence was that the contents of a large vessel took fire, and an immediate explosion followed, by which Mr. Miller, Mr. Shields ( the officer), and some of the workmen, were very seriously injured, and the premises in- stantly set on fire. By extraordinary exertions the flames were got under, after consuming property to a considerable extent. Mr. Miller is severely burnt— Belf'a » t Northern Whig. A few weeks since, a certain person in this island, who was greatly in debt, took a fancy to a girl, sold all his property to her, and passed the contracts in private before some Jurats at his own house ; he then married the girl, and in a few days afterwards they were separated at Court quant aux biens, by which he is now enjoy- ing all his property, through the protection of his wife, and at the expense of his creditors I— Jersey Advertiser, Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Tuesday evening, it was discovered that the extensive spinning factory in Duke- street, Glasgow ( the property of Mr. Angus Shaw), was on fire. The flames suddenly burst forth from all parts of the factory ; and flat after flat gave way so rapidly, that in the course of two hours nothing was visible but a heap of smouldeiing ruins. About 250 persons, men, women, and children, employed in the various operations consequent on the cleaning, carding, and spinning of cot- ton, have been suddenly deprived of work by this unlucky occur- rence.— Glasgow Chronicle. The Red- legged Partridge has been just introduced into tbe Principality of Wales, the Rev. Mt.

They much resemble ours iu colour and size, with the exception of the legs and hill, which are of vermillion red. They require very steady dogs to be shot with, as they run much like the landrail, and are reluctant to take wing, except when forced to it.— Shwwsbury Chronicle. TAUNTON REFORM FESTIVAL.— The preparations in this town are proceeding with great activity. The following materials are ordered for the dinner, which is provided for 5,000 persons on Wednesday:—? fat oxen, 1,375 gallons of beer, 938 gallons of ale, 625 quartern loaves, 40 bags of potatoes, 5001b. of salt, 2,000 tobacco pipes, 1,000 ounces of tobacco, 1,5001b. of flour, ? 50ib. of raisius, aud 6501b, of suet— making 400 puddings of 81b. each.— Taunton Courier. YORK, JUI. V 10.— The alarm in this city is of the most extraor dinary nature, on account of the violent rage of the cholera morbus, which has within these last few days swept oil' a number of its in habitants. So great, indeed, is the alarm here, that several opu- lent families have left the city and suburbs. To persons who have never before visitcil York, its appearance might not for the moment startle, hut those who have can easily perceive its desolated condi- tion. Nothing scarcely is to be observed but " Lodgings to let;" whilst, on the other hand, houses are empty in abundance. MUUDER.— An inquest was held on Monday last, before Mat- thew Keunett, Esq., on the body of Daniel Churchman, who, it was supposed, was wilfully murdered by Samuel Griggs, of the Coast Guard Service, whilst running a quantity of contraband goods. A verdict of " Wilful Murder" was returned against Griggs. The funeral of poor Churchman took place on Friday, at St. Laurence Church- yard. The body was conveyed from Broad- stairs in a hearse, followed by two mourning coaches, and upwards of 100 decently attired seafaring men.— Kenthh Chronicle. For the Salisbury reform festival a subscription amounting to 517/.

It is slated that Harrogate has not been so dull for the last twenty years as at the present period.— Hull Packet. PHLEBOTOMISING A ROYAL TIGRESS.— A fine tigress, six years of age, belonging to Atkinson's collection exhibiting at Leamington, had suffered for a long time from inflammation of the lungs, and was at the point of death. At the suggestion of a medical gentie- man named Cottle, the ends of two strong cords were formed into nooses, which, while the animal was lying down, were directed to be passed over the fore feet, above the upper or fifth claw, by means of a rod from the outsioe of the cage. It was intended by the assistance of three men holding the extremity of each cord, to draw the legs of the animal between the grating and the floor of the cage— a space wide enough to admit the legs through as far as the slioulders. The first step of fixing the cords was soon done; but, in attempting to draw her legs through, the natural ferocity of the beast bade defiance to tbe eiithralment of bodily suffering, and, bounding about the den iu spite of the force used, she seized one of the ropes, which yielded to the tremendous power of her jaws ; the other leg was, however, drawn through to the neck, and the loose one again secured, when a vein was speedily opened in one of the shoulders; but ( he complaint was too far advanced for the life of this beautiful and valuable animal to be saved bv the remedy — Leamington Spa Courier.

The Magistrate at Bow- street, on hearing the charge, gave notice to the solicitor for the Mint, who iu consequence attended the next day, and stated that from the inquiries he had made, he was perfectly satisfied with Mr. Ro- bertson's respectability; that he was convinced he had the counters as whist- markers, and did not know what he was doing when he offered them as coin, and could not think of proceeding on the charge. The Magistrate, however, said that a poor man would be sent to trial, and held Mr. Robertson to bail. The Grand Jury, it is evident, did not think that Mr. Robertson should be called on to answer such a charge. On the wall of a house of three stories, situated in St. Germain en Laye, is the following inscription :—" Knock for the first floor, j ring for the second, whistle for the third,"— Cabinet de Lecture. The case of the late Lord Amesbury is supposed to be the first instanoe of a peerage - having been created and become extinct iu the short space of one month. The determination to proceed against performers at the Strand Uieafere was announced at the annual meeting of the proprietors of Drury Lane on Saturday. At the late meeting of the Temperance Society in London the Rev. G. Evans called the attention of the meeting to a bill which had been put into his hands for that purpose ; it was sent by a publican to a tradesman, and demanded the sum of 3/. 6s. 84. for gin supplied to his wife during the last thirty- three days off her life, by which it appeared that the unfortunate woman had drank three half- pints of giu daily during that period, and so killed herself. The late Dowager Duchess of Manchester, at her death, was in the receipt of 3,000/. per annum as a " compensation allow- ance" for loss of the office of Collector of Customs outwards, held by her husband, the late Duke. By her Grace's dissolu- tion a public saving of this pension is, of course, effected. The Rev. E. Irving is the only out- of- door orator whose rail' ings against the reform measure are tolerated by the out- of- door public. The rev. gentleman employs his Sunday mornings itt denouncing from his pulpit in the usual place, under the wall of the House of Correction, the reform act, reformers, political unions, & c. He contends, in a style worthy of the Charles- street conservatives, that the " new privileges which have been so much vaunted will only tend to produce strife and dissension — that they will set man against man— and that they will end in. blood." The lead mines of the Marquis of Westminster, in Flintshire* produce his Lordship a revenue of about 15,000/. per annum. The annual rental of this property has much decreased duriug the last few years. It is said that at the next election there will not be one Tory candidate returned for any of the Devonshire boroughs.

DUCK HUNTING IN THE NEW COURT OF THE OLD BAI- LEY.— On Monday, during the trial of a young lad, for stealing some ducks, it was necessary to produce the ducks, that the prosecutor might identify them. From the clumsy manner ia which the basket containing the ducks was handled, one of them, escaped from it, and the officers of the Court, aided by several individuals, were occupied a considerable time before the duck was recaptured. The bird, after having visited nearly every corner of the Court, to the no small amusement of every one present, was at length replaced in the basket. ARMY PRIZE MONEY-.— An officer who served under the Duke of Wellington in the Peninsula, and entered Paris with the army, and received his share of the Paris prize- money, states that the Duke's share amounted to 60,000/., equal to that of 50 general officers, 142 field officers, 666 captains, 1818 sub- alterns, 3158 sergeants, and 24,000 rank and file!— Morning Chronicle. FLIGHT OF A DIRECTOR.— We hear that a resident director of one of the Life Insurance Offices has absconded with about 15,000/.; very little of which will or can be recovered.— Sun- day Times. Sheridan Knowles and C. Kemble had a misunderstanding before they left London, in the course of which sundry hard terms were applied. If we are not mistaken the ground of dif- ference was this:— When Knowles bargained for only 10/. a week for acting in his Hunchback, it was mentioned that the ruinous state of the stage was the cause of so low an offer being made, and for the acceptance of it by Knowles. As is well known, the success of The Hunchback redeemed Coveiit Garden from bankruptcy, and the average receipts were raised from 150/. to 400/. per night. Knowles omitted to bargain for an increased salary in case of a run of his play, but he thought himself in equity entitled to it, especially as his benefit turned out so uil- profitably. He, therefore, made his claim, which was at once rejected by C. Kemble, and he was told in addition that he had himself been no attraction in the part of Master Walter after the first night. This put Knowles' never very tranquil blood up, and the result was a violent quarrel.—- Observer. An extensive distillery for the illicit distillation of wine and spirits has been discovered hy Mr. Golding Bird, the general examining surveyor of excise of the department in Broad- street. From information Mr. Bird went to premises in Mark- lane, and there discovered at the top of the house in spacious garrets two copper stills of a very superior construction, and capable of working nearly 100 gallons. The apparatus, fitting up, and all the appurtenances, were constructed in the most ingenious and evpenslve manner; and upon Mr. Bird continuing his search, it was found that pipes for conveying a way the. manufactured liquor extended from the distillery to the bottom of the house, and from thence underground to the cellars of adjoining pre- mises. An immense quantity of wash and spirits were found and seized. One man was taken into custody on the premises at the time. A CONTRAST.— Some wag has been amusing himself by pub- lishing together in one print a side- view of the " Louvre, or the National Gallery of France," and a ludicrously faithful portrait of a dirty, shabby- looking dwelling- house, which is known as " Number 100 Pall- Mall, or the National Gallery of England:'' Between the two he has the following lines:— " Look here upon this picture, and on this, " The counterfeit presentment of two brothers." And he has dedicated his performance to the First Lord of the Treasury. He had better have dedicated the print to the mem- bers of the House of Commons, for they alone can authorise the erection of a building that will remove the national reproach which it is the object of his ingenious device to laugh and shame the country out of. TOWNSHEND THE BOW- STREET OFFICER.— John Townshend, the officer, who was for upwards of fifty years attached to the police office in Bow- street, died on Tuesday, at his house ia Pimlico. He was in the 73d year of his age. It is reported that he died of cholera. Sir Richard Steele, the celebrated author of the Tatler, who represented Boroughbridge in 1714, carried his election against a powerful opposition by the laughable expedient of sticking two apples full of guineas; and declaring to the electors, before whom he held them up, that the largest should be the prize of that man whose wife should be the first to bring forth a boy aftir that day nine months, and that the other should belong to hint who should become the father of a girl within riie same period. This finesse procured him the interest of the women, who are said to commemorate Sir Richard's bounty to this day. They once made a strenuous effort to procure a resolution, that no man. should ever be received as a candidate, who did not offer himself to their consideration upon the same terms, THM ® OWJ¥. July 15. TO THE PUBLIC. The Proprietors of THE TOWN respectfully inform the Public, that - tfifcey Intend to present to their Subscribers, GRATIS, a well executed MAP OP ENGLAND im& er the Reform Bill, from the Ordnance surveys, assisted by the " B^ ports of the Commissioners for the division of Counties. This superb Map, which will be engraved 011 steel, will contain the latest statistical details, population census, with a geological survey of kingdom; also, the navigable rivers, canals, railways ( present and • CT& temrplated), parks, and turnpike roads, etc. By Authority. flie Proprietors of THE TOWN Newspaper feel that a new era com- aaaencefl when the Reform Bill passed, and that every Englishman now . feels > a double interest in his country. To commemorate this glorious event, to mark the date of this brilliant epoch of its history, they ima- gine nothing can be more acceptable than a Map of their Country, show- the alterations such Bill has made, together with the data on which Sfcfee present Government proceeded. 1 The Proprietors also feel that they are now offering to their Sub- scribers a work which will be unique, and surpassing all others yet fcmfefished/ for it is well known that at present there is no Map of Eng- wd that can be depended upon. . To the Nobility and Gentry it will be acceptable, forming a handsome appendage to the library or drawing- room; to the merchant and profes- sional man, a work of general reference, both for roads and parishes, , which will be here clearly and accurately laid down; and to all classes, , a source of amusement and instruction. The Proprietors intend bringing the Map out in parts, each part to be perfect in itself, and they will thus enable the Subscribers to judge of « £ s completeness and general utility, before calling upon them for far- ther subscriptions? in case they should not be fully satisfied that the Proprietors have m every respect redeemed their pledge of giving a . Map at once the most splendid and useful of its kind. To entitle Subscribers to the first part, which will embrace the Home Counties, and Southern and Eastern Coasts of England, with Sand Banks and Soundings, they will be required to subscribe for 12 num- bers ; and to insure them against the disappointments experienced by similar attempts that have been made, they are determined that the first pa- rfc shall come out early in September, and a specimen immediately. They also intend adopting a similar course for the other parts, which are ' duly to appear in succession. The parts, when all out, will form either one complete Map, of five feet long by three feet seven inches wMe, > or may be bound up in an octavo or folio volume. The Proprietors, to secure for their patrons proof specimens, have gone to the heavy expense of engraving their Maps on steel. ^ N. B. Agents are requested to inform us precisely of th © number of subscribers they obtain, that we may be prepared to supply them with the, earliest copies.

LONDON: SUNDAY, JULY 15, 1832. * Information, resting on tbe very best authority, lias just reached us that the insurrection in Lithuania is spreading, and - that Guerilla parties have been organized, and are daily increasing in the forests, one of which cut to pieces a • detachment of Cossacks who were traversing the forest of Surefo- Korzyz. The Russians have established a travelling ^ commission in Lithuania, for the purpose of confiscating the property of even those individuals who were not impli- cated in the Polish revolution. The owners are to be txacsfcrred to Russia, where lands are to be assigned Them in exchange for their own. Already 30,000 Polish peasants have been forcibly sent from the domains of the Grown into the interior of Russia, and their places sup- plied 4> y an equal number of Russians. NICHOLAS has teen heard to declare that he will make Poland a Siberia, an A Siberia a Poland. The Russians dread a revolt in Warsaw. Every night the city is traversed in all directions by strong patroles, with pieces of artillery in their train. Ireland should be wholly changed, not so much in its policy, which underthe present administration is really liberal, but in tlie personal composition of the government. The system is, that Ireland should be ruled by a pageant Lord- lieute- nant, who should in bis turn be governed by a tyro Secre- tary, undergoing a sort of probationary discipline for an English cabinet minister. Lord WELLESLEY, with all his capacity and pride, was Utile more than a pageant, whilst the real governor was Mr- GOULBURN ; and Lord ANGLESEY doubtless, lias as little to do with the measures proposed in parliament for the government of Ireland. The efficient Irish minister should be neither a political tyro nor a pa- geant nobleman, but a minister of the highest standing and greafest weight in the cabinet. A sort of crusade has been proclaimed in favour of Irish tithes by a proclamation from tbe castle. The result is looked to by those who best know Ireland with the strongest apprehension. In fact, nothing short of a general disruption of society is expected to result from a serious conflict between the Irish peasantry, orga- nized and reckless as they are, and the Government em- ploying its powers to enforce laws which have been evaded with such impunity, as to reduce them to desuetude. The discussion on Mr. STANLEY'S modified Irish tithe • measure, comprised in one bill, was resumed on Friday iiighf, and decided in favour of Ministers— or rather of the Irish Secretary— for the measure is said to be exclusively - iiis— by a curiously composed but sweeping majority of 124 to 32. This result decides nothing respecting the efficacy of the measure, or the legislative genius of the Irish Secretary. The opposition to it was more remark- able for declamation, passion, and appeals to popularity, flian sound argument, though the reasons against its prin- ciple are obvious enough, and its failure apparently almost certain. There appear to be four leading enactments pro- posed— first, to render obligatory, general, and perpetual, the . compositions under Mr. GOULBURN'S Act. Now there is ™ limine a radical, a fatal vice in this provision. Itrenders obligatory and perpetual the legal or nominal composition - wliich was hardly ever paid, aud which greatly raised the previous assessments, not the actually paid compositions • iVhich the incumbents thought it expedient to accept. The next provision exempts those, whose unexpired term is MK< ier three years. Tho object of this was to relieve the . tenant; but the relief will go a very short way, and will have an air of flagrant inequality. The rack- rent tenants, . whose• term comprises, or exceeds three years unexpired, - are'the great majority of their class, and not a whit the Jess objects of compassion and relief. A third provision enables tlie lessor to make himself responsible for the iMiie. tm the terms of an allowance of 15 per cent, from the tithe- owner, with the proviso that the higher lessor should have the preference over the lower; and that, in case of default, a receiver should be put in for the benefit of the incumbent. In this, we anticipate nothing but a fertile source of litigation, or a power which will not be sexercised. Who is the lessor that would, at this moment become responsible for the tithe of his lessee, on the condi { j. on of 15 or even 50 per cent.? The fourth provision pro poses to enact, that all future lessees shall be exempt from the payment of tithe. This last provision is all very well, but it becomes a nullity if the preceding should be found inoperative. We fear Mr. STANLEY setstoo much value upon talent in debate; and that comprehensive views, meditation, and pro Sting by the counsels of others, are regarded by him as subordinate qualifications for a minister. He appears to jjidge the practical efficiency of an Act of Parliament by fee minute completeness of its machinery on paper, rather tfcaR by the temper and circumstances of the country, and the people for whom itis destined. Itwould also seemthathe overrates the force of an Act of Parliament; that he supposes it has within itself some inherent power of obtaining effect — and this at a moment when the statute- law and common- Jaw are a dead letter in the very Ireland for which he is le- gislating.. It strikes us that the system of administration in The Tory opposition rallied its whole force on Thurs day evening to give pitched battle in the House of Commons.— The subject was the Russian- Dutch loan. For some days, gloomy bodings on one side, trium- phant predictions on the other, foreran this debate.— Lord ALTHORP having addressed the House at some length, moved " that the convention with Russia respecting the Dutch loan, dated the 16th of November last, and lying on the table, should be submitted to a Committee of the whole House." His object was to sanction payments made in January last under a convention of 1815. Lord ALTHORP prefaced his motion in a tone which betrayed want of con- fidence, and augured ill for the result. His speech was regarded as ominous of defeat, and there were many pal- pitating hearts both in the body of the House and in the gallery. Mr. HERRIES followed, and having replied to Lord ALTHORP, or rather discussed the question, in a speech of ingenious, elaborate, and somewhat petulant, so- phistry, moved the following amendment— " That it appears to this House that the payment made by the Commissioners of the Treasury on account of the interest due by Russia on the loan made by Holland in January last, when the obligation and authority to make any such payment, had, according to the terms of the convention of 1815, and the Act of Parliament founded thereon, closed and determined ; and also when a new convention, not then communicated to this House,, had been entered into, recognising the necessity of recurring to Parliament for the power of continuing such payment under the circumstances attending the separation that had taken it out of" the case of the convention, was an application of- money net warranted by law." After a long debate the original resolution was carried by a majority of 46 in favour of Ministers. This trial we look upon as decisive for some time to come. Tbe Tories could not rally in greater force, or upon more advantageous- ground. They had all the advantage of hollow appeals to public economy, and the clap- traps which it supplied, to bear upon the approaching elections; hut> they were defeated, by a majority sufficient, though not overwhelm- ing. It is said, that Tory preparations are making for an attack in the House of Lords, where a majority against Ministers is confidently announced. The time is gone by when a majority in the Lords could upset an Administra- tion. If the plain truth may be spoken without offence, a majority in the House of Lords against the Ministry, would shake, not the Ministry, but the House of Lords itself. To return to the Russian- Dutch loan.. We wilLnot go into this question,— it is too detailed and various; and a just view of the matters in dispute,, would be but a repetition of the triumphant reasonings of Dr. LUSHING- TON, and Sir T. DENMAN. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL, in- deed, reduced the question to a conclusive issue, as, to the objects and sincerity of those who supported the amend- ment. He asked whether any Right Honourable,. or Hon. Member, on the other side, would declare, that he, were he a Minister, would maintain that the separation of Bel- gium from Holland, was a release to this country from the engagements contracted by the treaty of 1,815— and not one voice was raised in the affirmative. But who is the man put forward' on this occasion as the leader of the forlorn hope? Mr. HERRIES, an adept the VANSITTART school, who endeavoured by a piece of arithmetical mystification or numerical ehiaro- scuro magnify a sum between a million and a half and two mil lions, to five millions sterling. And who are they that are so sensitively jealous of the payments of foreign loans scrupulously saving of the money of the people ? They are those who have lavished hundreds of millions of Eng- lish treasure wrung from the people in loans and subsidies of which the chief result has been the momentary restoration of legitimacy and the Bourbons in France, the precarious blessing of King FERDINAND'S Government in Spain, and the happy annexation of Poland to the sway of the Emperor of RUSSIA. When tho Tories suppose that such glaring inconsistencies and such hollow clap- traps, could impose upon the new constituency under the Reform Bill, they must think the English people the most easily deluded and besotted in the world. It is true that the people have been so long patient of abuse and susceptible of delusion, as in some measure to warrant their present manoeuvre, how- ever clumsy— but the time is gone hy, and for ever. It might be suspected that the choice of Mr. HERRIES was made because he had been the chief agent of the intrigue which put an end to the administration of Lord, GOIIERICH. If it was hoped that he might be as lucky on the late occa- sion, the charm is broken, and Mr. HERRIES may be left to pursue his favourite studies as au amateur of stock-, market speculations.

[ To be continued.] TOWN TALK, King Leopold has lately progressed on a tour of inspection to Hassett and Turnliout. Our " Great Captain," who begins to think it is high time to have " chacun son tour" in Downing- street, wishes Lord Grey would imitate Leopold's example, and proceed forthwith to turn- out; but his Lordship prefers stopping at has- it,— where the people hope he may long remain. A Mr. Lawes Long longs to make laws, as M. P. for the wes- tern division of Surrey. Mr. Cartwright, of Ay no, comes forward again on the Con- servative interest for Northamptonshire. Not even so experi- enced an artisan as Mr. Cart- wright can repair the old Tory go cart,— or replace the knaves and fellows of the broken wheels; though it must be confessed that none are so fit for the pur- poses of that party as those who have Aye, No, at command, as it may suit the will of their imperious taskmasters. Marshal Soult has visited the foot of Mont d' Or for the benefit of his health. We always thought he had reached th° sum- it long ago. It is deemed not very improbable that private Somerville may give Major Wyndham a summerset, the serious consequences of which not all the dexterity of another Somerset can avert. We are requested to state, that the " Complete Gentleman's House," advertised in the Morning Herald of Monday, is not the property of Sir Charles Wetherell, Henry Hunt, or Sir Edward Sugden. It is not true that Lord Kenyon gave evidence in favour of his friend and quondam partner, John Joseph Stockdale, on that person's trial for assault at the Middlesex Sessions. It was supposed his Lordship would be " called to character," but as Mrs. Harriette Wilson, a well- known literary lady, volunteered her services, Lord Kenyon's were dispensed with. Lord James O'Bryen, a lord of the bedchamber, opposes the Reform candidates at Bath. We suspect his visit will be to tbe Cross Bath. He had better stick to his bedchamber duties. The grand national monument in the metropolis, to com- memorate the death of corruption, was very properly proposed by Common Councilman DEATH. There is not the slightest foundation for the rumour that the petition against regimental flogging, agreed to at the Kennington meeting on Tuesday, was drawn up, proposed, or seconded, by Sir John Cam Hobhouse. The Right Hon. Baronet's official duties, as Secretary of War, alone prevented him giving his most strenuous support to a cause which he so long advocated ex- officially. Lord Winchilsea has been wounded in the heel by a pitchfork. We trust a wound in the heel will not prove as fatal to him as to Achilles. Lord Porchester and Mr. Fleming are candidates for Hamp- shire on the Tory interest. If the constituency of that county, which was honourably distinguished by its zealous support of reform, are now false to the principles they lately professed, they can find no worthier representative than a noble apostate from liberal principles ; and as such we commend their choice of " the heir to all" Carnarvon's glories. As to Mr. Fleming, we suspect he will be able to give but a Flemish account of his spe- culation. ELECTIONEERINGESTIMATES— The aristocratic anti- reformers are decidedly of opinion that Mr. Neeld is not at all qualified to represent Shaftesbury. The Tories think that no candidate can contest Seaford with Lord Storm- on't; and that Poole belongs of right to Lord Lou- vaine. It is agreed by all parties that Sir Roger Gresley requires More- pith. Lord Villiers is sure of Sal- for't. Spencer Perceval, if fame does not belie him, asserts his right to Bang- her. The " conservatives" vote that Henry Hunt he sent to Coventry. Sir Charles Wetherell is the man for Chat- ham. It is resolved, nem. con., that Daniel O'Connell shall not, with impunity, aspire to Sunder- land. Sir W. Knighton it is thought should start for Lances- ton. The pseudo Baron Baring is indignant— and not without cause— at Lord Grey's presuming to think that England should assume " an imposing attitude," now that the downfall of the Tories is as complete as it is signal. He thinks no good can possibly come of a Whig Minister being over bearing at such a juncture. Sir R. Peel said, in the debate on the Russian Dutch Loan, that " the declaration of Ministers should not deter him from recording his opinion on the question." Sir Robert forgot to specify which of his opinions he desired to record. PARLIAMENTARY PITCH AND TOSS. : The conduct of Ministers reminds me of the vulgar joke of 14 Heads I win; tails, you lose."— Mr. Herries' speech on Thursday. ' " Heads, I win ; tails, you lose," exclaim'd Herries in sport; But oft our own sport is perverted to scoff us :— Though his head be toss'd up, yet did quidnuncs report Strange tales when poor Herries was pitch'd out of office. WINDSOR.— Thursday forenoon a post mortem examination of the body of Princess Louise of Saxe Weimar was performed by Mr. Davies, his Majesty's personal surgeon, in the presence of Sir Astley Cooper, Sir Charles Clarke, and Messrs. Keate and Brodie. There was nothing more discovered on the exami- nation but what had been anticipated by these gentlemen, name- ly, that of a softening of the spinal marrow, extending from the middle of the back to its termination. The body was removed to an apartment in the north wing of the Castle, and a room is being fitted up by Mr. Tebbott, the King's builder, ( who also made the shell, which is of the finest Spanish mahogany, lined with white silk,) where it is intended the body shall lie in state. Arrangements are in a state of preparation for the funeral, which is to take place between 11 and 12 o'clock to- morrow morning. It is to be a walking procession from the Castle to St. George's Chapel. The Hon. H. W. Scott, Lord Eldon's son, who died on Fri- day, was Registrar of Affidavits, and Receiver of Fines, in Chancery and Clerk of Letters Patent. The emoluments arising from these snuggeries were fearful. Mr. Scott was in his 37th year ; he once represented Hastings, but retired from public life in 1846. Lord Eldon has survived his lady and two sons, so that Lord Encombe, son of the late Hon. J ohn Scott, is the only living male descendant of the venerable earl, who has just completed his 81 st year. EXPEDITION TO THE INTERIOR OF AFRICA.— It is expected that this interesting expedition will leave Liverpool to- morrow, for the coast of Africa. It consists of the brig Columbine, 170 tons, and the Quorra and Elburlca steamers, both built ex- pressly for the purpose, and possessing all the qualities neces- sary for performing the voyage up the River Niger and its various branches. Every precaution has been taken to render them se- cure against any attacks of the natives on the coast; the com- manders are all men of experience, and every attention has been paid to the comfort and health of the crew of the passengers,—. Liverpool Courier < jf Wednesday, July 22. THE TOWM, 2 2 9 PARLIAMENTARY PR A WINGS. MR. O'CONNELL. The great Irish agitator is one of those compounds of sa vagery and civilization, of turbulence and subserviency, of reck- less ribaldry and sycophant adulation, of animal passion and intellectual power, which Ireland only, with her long- degraded caste, foreign ascendancy, and fierce temperament, could pro- duce. It may with truth be accorded to him, that he is the child and champion of the democracy of Ireland. He affects, indeed, aristocracy of birth, talks of foreign counts in his family, and boasts his lineage from Irish kings. With his pedigree we pro- fess to be wholly unacquainted. He may be, as he says, the re- lative of Austrian counts, and the descendant of the Kerne kings of Ireland. The humbler condition of his more immediate progenitors is attested by an incident on circuit, whilst he prac- tised at the Irish bar. It was his lot to cross- examine a hedge or village schoolmaster, in his native county, which he now re- presents. Seizing the occasion to display his latinity, he inter- rogated the poor pedagogue—" Quis es tu ?" and received the following answer, in quite as good Latin as his own :—" Ego sum pauper pedagogus sicut erat avus tuus, et tu es stultus dives sicut erat avus meus." Prompt and unabashed as Mr. O'Con- nell was in Court, the rebut unnerved him, and long rankled in his mind, to the great amusement of the junior barristers, who touched and played upon the reminiscence with malicious plea- santry. As an advocate at the Irish bar, in causes not demanding the first order of eloquence, whether civil or criminal, Mr. O'Con- nell is supreme. His management of Irish juries and witnesses is unrivalled. He hits, or rather shares their secret feelings, and coarse humour in such a manner, as to obtain complete dominion over jurors, and wrest truth from the most resolute and adroit gladiators in false swearing. In his cross- examination, he has not the finesse of a Garrow. His is a sort of rude, but dexterous cudgel playing, which, in Ireland, is not equally, butmore efficient. He hasmore energy, morework in him, than most men ; and, with frequent escapes of the grossest taste, he has tact and versatility. He writes, as well as speaks, with vigour and correctness at one moment— with false rhetoric, mawkish pathos, and revolting vulgarity of mind and matter at another. Some of his letters to the Irish Catholics, or, as they were called, his epistles to the Romans, and his speech in support of the validity of his first election, at the Bar of the House of Commons, might be cited as examples of the former. Examples of the latter are innumerable. The position of Mr. O'Connell in Parliament is singular. He commands attention, and exercises power in debate, without re- spect for his character or sympathy with his eloquence. Since his entrance into the House of Commons, he has varied his tone with his characteristic versatility. The Member for Preston did not make more commendable efforts to be gentleman- like than Mr. O'Connell in his debuts: but he only abandoned the ad- vantages of his native vigour, without acquiring the grace of re- finement, or of what may be called Parliamentary manners. He attempted to be personally conciliating, and was only grovelling. Did Mr. Stanley make an able reply to Sir Robert Peel or Mr. Croker, he no sooner sat down than Mr. O'Connell left his seat, crossed over to the Treasury bench, and cried " admirable," " divine," with an ecstacy of adulation in the ears of the Irish Secretary, whom but the week before he had denounced in Ire- land with outrageous ribaldry and scurrilous defamation. The Irish Secretary acknowledges the civility only by a look half wonder, half sneer ; the British Members are quite perplexed by the phenomenon, and the Irish Members, who have a quicker sense of humour and a better knowledge of Mr. O'Connell, laugh loud. He has not obtained a single success in the House of Commons— and he has suffered many signal defeats. He cannot stand in debate before the Irish Secretary, and he cowered even before such men as the late Member for Drogheda ( Mr. North) and present Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas, who were far from athletic debaters. He has sometimes abandoned a forced and uncongenial tone of deliberative ora- tory for his true element— for vulgar dramatizing— rude jests— Irish exclamations— furious temper, and frantic gesticulation ; but whilst he thus puts forth his whole force, which is really gigantic, he revolted rather than roused his auditory. If his oratory disqualifies him for a debater in a popular assembly of gentlemen, he is still more unfortunate in the distrust inspired by his reck- less tergiversation, and amazing effrontery. He denies, evades, or openly spurns, the moral and conventional obligations of good faith, or of fact the most notorious. His assertion only cre- ates doubts; and the expressed opinion of a man so wavering, passes idly as the wind. What then is the secret of his ac knowledged power in the House of Commons? His bound- less influence over the multitude in Ireland. The man who could move millions, speaks in a voice of terror which may he hated, cannot be despised, and, in fact, must be fearfully heard. Here Mr. O'Connell is iu his true element. Over the multitude in Ireland, he rules supreme. He is the creature of the multitude, upon the passions of which, he plays with surpris- ing force; and, whenever he has suffered defeat in the House of Commons, he immediately consoles his vanity by flying back to his proper sphere, like a savage throwing off the livery of civilization to fly back to the woods, and become the chief and oracle of the tribe once more. He is, indeed, the first of mob orators.— The amplitude and vigour of his limbs and features, the ostentatious carelessness of his demeanour and dress, his prompt and rude humour, and his abusive personalities— above all, his long and intimate familiarity with Irish temperament in the common people, make him the most powerful leader of the populace, and the most formidable adversary of a government whom Ireland has yet produced. Mr. O'Connell has the most jealous vanity of any man alive— and a gross appetite for flattery without discernment or taste. His better character is spoiled by the servile homage of the coterie by which he is surrounded in Dublin. Yet has he not a single friend. His whole career has been a succession of squabbling and scurrility, envy and defamation, furious resentments, and hollow reconciliations, alternate laudations, and abuse, with his associates in politics; but, he has not, we repeat, a friend. His satellites in Dublin are attached by interest or a craven fear, ora pitiful vanity of appearing in his train ; and as to the Irish members in the House of Commons, he is hated, feared, or used as an instrument by them. Will the influence, or rather power, of Mr, O'Connell last ? It has long endured in spite of trials in which another man would have been lost. But nothing is more perilously uncertain than that power which has its hold rather on the passions of a mob kept in perpetual and almost delirious fever, rather than in the common sense of the people. He has, it is true, achieved much for the liberty of Ireland, but when he appeared to be carrying a great cause, it was the cause that carried him. BUCKINGHAM HOUSE BAZAAR. [ Continued from our paper of the lst instant.] In the ninth stall, or standing, stood a poor old man, whose cheeks were furrowed with tears, whilst his eyes were fixed in silent admiration on a portrait representing a drivelling dotard in maudlin mirth, or " crying drunk," as the Irish say, at the bacchanalian orgies of an Orange lodge, where the old boy seems shouting aloud, " One cheer more !" The stall- keeper tried to " move all hearts to pity," by recounting his misfortunes. He had once, he said, lived Scott- free in the purlieus of Palace- yard, but he was now about to be put on short commons, which would entirely drive him from his old haunts. His once boasted constitution he was afraid was gone— indeed the doctors pro- nounced it quite decayed— and some of his quondam friends had proved his bitterest enemies, neglecting him in his old age, and even forcing him to part with all his valuables, especially his favourite seals, that he had worn for half a century. He offered for sale a small phial of crocodile's tears, which he had long treasured as a great curiosity, but they were now become so common that he was anxious to get rid of them on any terms.— No bidders. No. 10. A dingy, dirty, slovenly- looking person stood in No. 10. It was evident that clean linen was a luxury in which he seldom indulged, and he looked to all the world the great original of the " Parliamentary Portrait" given in THE TOWN of Sun- day last. His eye- brows were considerably scorched, which, he said, occurred in his miraculous escape from a conflagration oc- casioned by a bonfire kindled in honour of his arrival at a watering place in the west. Being- completely " burnt out," he had turned his head to mechanics, and invented a new fire- escape, for which he hoped to obtain a patent. His stock in trade consisted of a small assortment of old clothes, but they seemed in such ill- favoured condition, that no one would touch them. No. 11. A briefless barrister, who had converted his bag into a hawker's wallet, filled with trinkets, offered sundry gim- cracks for sale; but whilst he was wrangling with a lady about the purchase of a paper of pins, one of the police came up and ordered him to go about his business, his wife having complained to the mistress of the standings of his misconduct; and though he kneeled and prayed to be forgiven, the officer was inexorable. A sort of copartnership, for economy's sake, seemed to exist in No. 12, where two disappointed courtiers were offering for sale the coronets they had ordered in anticipation of their " blushing honours." The one declared there was no bearing such a mortification ; whilst the other turned the whole affair into a jest, by exhibiting his useless coronet on the top of a barber's pole.— No customers for either lot. A crabbed, " cantankerous" sort of person tried to tempt the crowd to patronise his standing by playing " The Boyne Water" and " Lillibullero" on a rusty old barrel organbut the orange lilies for which he solicited custom were all faded. His spe- culation was a total failure. In the next standing we observed a good- natured looking rat catcher. He once did a deal of business in that way ; but endeavouring to practise his art in the north of Ireland, he un- luckily tried, as a proof of his skill, to catch some of the pea- santry by the fingers, and they, in revenge for the tricks he played, ducked him in Lough Foyle, whereby all his patent rat- traps were completely spoiled, and the patent destroyed. He was now doing a little in the horticultural way, and cutting olive- branches, remembering, better late than never, that" blessed are the peace- makers." Close by him stood a bluff brawny body, who had once been in the same line, though originally bred up a lamplighter and scene- sliifter. He endeavoured to attract attention by exhibiting some curious vases, which he said were originally of Irish ma- nufacture, and all the rage in their day; on inspection they proved to be very brittle, and were left on his hands. The very name, which he said was once as common as a proverb, being now almost forgotten. No. 16 was occupied by the squinting ex- head- waiter at the Exchequer coffee- house. He exhibited for show the stuffed carcase of a goose, which he pretended was the real original " goose with the golden egg." Strange to say, the head of the bird bore a most extraordinary resemblance to the head of the showman, who likewise displayed some of the golden eggs, on which he had himself endeavoured to perform the process of incubation, but without success, for they were all addled. He likewise set up for a dealer in " home- brewed small beer," but it proved to be only froth and vinegar ; whereat the assembled crowds indignantly departed, and the Buckingham- house Bazaar closed for the season. DUBLIN, JULY 12. PROFESSORSHIP OF POLITICAL ECONOMY IN TRIN. COL., DUBLIN. Two days were occupied, Monday and Tuesday, in a regular examination of the Candidates for the Professorship. The first day there was a series of questions proposed, which were said to be furnished by Mr. Senior ; anything more inapt or foolish, was never heard. Some of the candidates were of opinion that he submitted them under the impression, that the Irish are igno- rant of the first rudiments of the science. They were treated in the most cavalier style. Only imagine a question such as this —" What ought to be the conduct of a person to enable him to receive rent ?" The answer of one of the candidates was, he should take care to provide himself with a goqd and solvent tenant. The same question was put as to the receipt of profit, to which it was responded, that the recipient of profit ( Senior's phrase) should buy as cheap, and sell as dear as he could.— The Archbishop favoured the seance with some comicalities, amongst the rest the following enigma. The ensuing was stated as a fact that occurred :— A man of miserly character inherited a fortune of 2,000/. per annum ; he lived penuriously, and only spent 200/. a year— he never gave any thing away, and met with no losses during his life. He lived to an advanced age, and when he died there was hardly enough to bury him. Query— What were the circumstances of the case, and to what does it amount ? I leave you to chew the cud upon this poser. On Tuesday Dr. Phipps put some admirable questions, but each of which would have required a treatise to itself. These were to be answered like the former, by the candidates, in writing, during the sitting in the Hall— so that you may judge how crude and dejune the answers must have been ; and from these the Board ( Provost and Senior Fellows) is to form a judgment on the fitness of the person to be appointed, THE THEATRES. THE KING'S THEATRE. On Wednesday night the Opera of Don Juan, with the Ger- man words, was represented here, for the benefit of Madame Schroeder Devrient. From the very effective performance of the preceding operas by the German company, we went with very heightened anticipation to witness their efforts in this, the chef- d'oeuvre of their national operatic music, but we regret to say that this anticipation was fully satisfied only in two instances, that of the orchestra and of the fair beneficiare. This will not appear strange, when it is recollected that the two principal cha- racters, Don Juan and Leperello, which give animation and in- terest to the whole, were undertaken by two persons, Her Hau- ser and Her Gunther, ( if the latter had an r in his name it would be a more appropriate one) who were totally inadequate, both as actors and singers, to the task assigned them. A more spiritless and inelegant Don Juan, or a more heavy and lumbering Lepe- rello, it has never been our misfortune to witness. Upon those of the audience who had seen Ambrogetti and Garcia in the for- mer part, and Pellegrini in the latter, the awkward attempts of their " counterfeit presentments" fell with the most benumbing effect. The Zerlina of Mademoiselle Schneider, though sung correctly, was, as a piece of acting, exceedingly tame. Of the representative of Mazetto, the less said the better, for he was a most unendurable dullard. Having got through the disagreeable part of our duty, come we now to the agreeable portion— that of giving praise where it is justly due; and first of Madame Schroe- der. This excellent singer and admirable actress was, in the part of Donna Anna, all that we expected her to be. She was in fine voice, aud gave full effect to the pathetic music of her role, and at times exhibited that rare gift of nature, or acquisi- tion of art, which the French call une voix pleine des larmes. Her acting was highly tragic and impressive, and if at all ob- noxious to criticism, it was only in a rare instance, where in her anxiety to do too well, she urged the expression of agonized feel- ing a little beyond the proper boundary. But, " take her for all in all," she is the best Donna Anna that has ever appeared upon these boards. Madame de Meric sung the part of Elvira in her usual correct and graceful manner, but the difficult airs allotted to this character require, we think, a more powerful intonation and greater compass of voice, to give them proper effect, than this lady possesses. Haitzinger, as Don Ottavio, sung with feeling, but his acting was rather too tame and level. To the orchestra too much praise cannot be given. The overture ( which was encored) and accompaniments, were executed with a preci- sion, effect, and expression, that left little, if any thing, to desire. The choruses also were admirably given. The scenery and de- corations were for the most part of the most paltry description, and the descent of Don Juan with attendant demons was managed in the most bungling manner. COVENT GARDEN. On Monday night the French company, brought over by La- porte, commenced their operations at this house with the Valerie, of Scribe, in which Mademoiselle Mars was the principal, nay, it may be said, the sole attraction, as without the prestige of such an admirable actress, this piece, disagreeable in its plot, and no longer possessing the charm of novelty, would have proved but sorry entertainment. Mademoiselle Mars, though increased in years, and embonpoint, since last she visited England, is still the first of living actresses,— her personation of the benighted Va- lerie, suddenly restored to the great blessing of sight, and to the rapture of beholding her lover, who, until then hadonly been dimly seen by her " mind's eye," was an exquisitely graduated, and most affecting performance, that elicited, and most deservedly so, the most enthusiastic applause. Armand played the Count with all the ease and tact which a long acquaintance with the boards had givenliim, but he is too much in the ' sere and yellow leaf to pro- duce anything like the necessary illusion in the part of a young and ardent lover ;— besides, the " effect defective" of advanced years in his case, is made more apparent by the loss of his teeth, from which cause his words, at a very short distance from the stage, are in a great measure unintelligible. Before the commencement of the second piece, L'Heritage ou I'Amart Timide, ( which went off very tamely ; it is of too whipt creamy and frothy a nature for the taste of an English audience,) that most graceful and delightful of dancers, Taglioni, executed with all the charm so peculiarly her own, the pas of th eTyrolienne; and, after the second piece, renewed the enchantment by dancing La Napolitaine. The boxes were tolerably well filled, the pit crowded, and the galleries nearly empty. On Thursday, Moliere's comedy of Le Misanthrope was re- presented here, and though Mademoiselle Mars played Celimene with all her usual excellence, the performance, as has always been the fate of this comedy, was far from amusing. In fact, notwithstanding the beauties of composition, the accurate know- ledge of human nature, and the keen and cutting satire that per- vade this production, it is, from the feebleness of the plot, the absence of any interesting qualities in most of the characters, and their very slender connexion with the business of the play, a bad acting comedy, and has ever gone, and ever will go off flatly— though, in the closet, it must still be acknow- ledged as one of the most remarkable creations of the great comic genius of France. Armand did not appear to advantage in the character of Alcestehis modish, and rather freluquet style of acting being totally incompatible with the manly dignity indis- pensable in the part of Alceste. However, La Jeune Femme colere and the bewitching dance of Taglioni, sent the audience away HAYMARKET THEATRE. On Monday night a serious drama, entitled A Duel in Riche- lieu's Time, an adaptation from the French, by Miss Boaden, was produced at this theatre. The plot is an interesting one, but its interest is somewhat obscured by its intricacy. The following is a brief outline :— Marie de Rohan is beloved by the Comte de Chalais, favourite of Lonis XIII., but has been forced by circumstances to become secretly the wife of Le Due de Chevreuse. At a ball given by the Queen, a quarrel occurs between De Chalais and the Abbe de Gondi, which terminates in an appointment for the following morning. De Chalais, previous to meeting his opponent, pens an amorous letter to Marie, taking an eternal leave of her, and returning her miniature which she had presented him. As this letter is only to be delivered in case of his falling, he locks it up in a cabinet, with directions to his secretary that it is to be delivered as directed in case of his death. A variety of circumstances, which we have not room to detail, detain him till past the appointed hour ; and Chevreuse, who had en- gaged himself as De Chalais' second, encounters the Abbe alone, and is wounded by him ; and the Abbe is in turn all but slain by De Chalais, who arrives on the field very shortly after. As Richelieu had instituted severe laws against duelling, De Chalais is induced through the solicitations of his friend to fly; he com- plies, but not before he has gained from the wife of his friend a promise to follow him in his flight. This promise she makes in consideration of the certain detection of the lover of herself and De Chalais through the letter penned by the latter, and which has been seized with his other papers by the officers of justice employed by Richelieu. This fatal document, together with the portrait, is sent by the Cardinal to the injured husband before the wife has time to fly, and, fired with wrath, he immediately re- veals the place of De Chalais's retreat to those in pursuit of him ; he is accordingly brought back, when Chevreuse, forcing a pistol into his hand, demands satisfaction, De Chalais uses the pistol as the means of his own destruction, and Chevrev. se, rushing in with the news, dashes the letter and portrait at the feet of his wife, declaring that they are henceforth eternally separated. Miss faylor, as the Duchess de Chevreuse, played with feeling and considerable effect. Cooper, as the Duke, was more spirited than is his wont; and Vining's De Chalais, and Webster's Da Gondi were creditable performances. The drama met with a very favourable reception. ENGLISH OPERA. On Friday night, a musical piece under the title of the Climb- ing Boy, was brought forward at this house. It is not of suffi- cient importance or merit to justify an analysis ; suffice it to say, that its chief element of success was in the character of one Jack Rag, a street- sweeper, as played by Reeve. The very laughable, though somewhat coarse buffooneries of this actor put the audience in good humour, and induced them to refrain from, doing justice upon the absurdity of plot, and worse than medio- cre music of this novelty. PARIS, July 12. ( FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.) All the world has set off, aux eaux, to the watering- places; diplomat and dandy, idler and minister of state, since nothing more for the present is to be done in Paris, either in the way of pleasure or intrigue. Dupin has been got rid of for the present, though supported generally enough by the Perrierites, but viru- lently opposed by the Doctrinaires, de Broglie, Guizot, & c., who, it seems, hate him worse than Barrot himself. The King acts as his own Prime Minister ; and so it appears he did in the ordonnance of the Etat de Siege, for it has been discovered that the report preceding the proclamation, and the proclamation it- self, were drawn up, not in the office of any responsible minis- ter, but were the work of M. Villemain, who is a kind of Under Secretary of Public Instruction. Both Dupin and Talleyrand have disapproved of it highly. The latter has acted rather % foolish part. He arrived, was consulted, and found himself un- able to give any advice whatever, in the midst of the confusion of petty interests and petty ambitions that encumber the Court. Soult is upheld by the Prince Royal, Thiers is thrust forward by the Doctrinaires, who now patronize him, though his former writings ridicule and oppose them ; and, backed by this interest, he may get the Finances. But this seems scarcely possible, as he was expelled from a subordinate place in that very office un- der very equivocal circumstances. Dupin is expected to be Garde des Sceaux, Montalivet swearing fealty to him in the Home Ministry, Soult and Sebastiani remaining independent in their respective functions. Meantime the Opposition are not idle. They now reckon 140, such being the number of adhesions to the Compte Rendu, so much vilified. They have held meetings, such as are in Paris, at the house of Lafitte, and Barrot has been commissioned to draw up a similar document, in the form of an impeachment of the ministry, which is to be followed up at the opening of the Chamber. By way of reply to this, I suppose, the police have every where spread the report of a fresh insurrection, to take place the 14th or the 26th of the month. As the first date is only next Saturday, we shall see. But there are actually marches and concentration of troops, as if there were ten men in Paris, of any party, mad enough to recommence the riots of the 5th and 6 th of June. The haute police has, however, decided that there will be an insurrection, and no doubt they can make good their words. The Government has gained one advantage from the Etat da Siege, viz. the possession of important papers, disclosing the secret views of both extremes. In the papers of Lavoissiere, one of the Republican Deputies, were found letters, over which the administration exult. They are said, however, to contain mere speculations; and those, however extreme, betray no proof of immediate execution, and the proof is, that no action is likely to be commenced in consequence. The escritoire of the Duke de Fitzjames afforded a much more abundant harvest. He seems not to have had suspicion of the possibility of arrest. All his Carlist correspondence was seized, letters from Holyrood two or three, and whole quires from his niece, who, it seems, is the chief Carlist emissary in London. Her correspondence gives most curious details, I promise you, about London society, high life, & c. If Colburn and Bentley had but hold of them, they would make precious noise and scandal, but I am only at liberty to mention just what I have mentioned, and no more. Political topics have this week, however, given way to a com- mercial one. It is Paris now, not England, that has become a body of shop- keepers ; and the new entrepot to be established at Paris, is at present the great subject of interest. It is a ware- house, as with us, where colonial and other produce may be stored, paying duty merely as it is sold. The project was bit- terly opposed by the ports of Havre, Nantes, and Bordeaux, much of whose immediate importance and business it will de- stroy. But all is here sacrificed to the capital, of which the French are determined to make as much a sea - port as possible. This project, however, will be of advantage ; it will much im- prove the position of the Parisian capitalist, and will divert him from the idle and gambling speculations of the Bourse, to those of real and enlarged commerce. It is yet uncertain whether the entrepot will be in town, at Tivoli, or St. Lazare, or the Inva- lides, or without the walls at St. Ouen. Commercial folk are crying out for some information on this subject. All the copies of Maculloch's Dictionary have been bought up greedily. Were a work produced here immediately, containing the British Ware- housing Laws, an account of them, and the preliminary mea- sures, it would meet with instant success, and be of great utility. The lion of the week is the Polish General Dwernicki, just arrived. These poor refugees are here in a state not only of mi- sery, but of dire dissension. Some exclaim against Czartoriski and the aristocratic party, and cannot even admire the late ad- dress to the British parliament, said to be the production of that prince's pen. He could not live here, from the prevalence of the more violent party of his countrymen. In London, they are said to be more approaching the juste milieu. Another vacancy in the Institute yesterday, from cholera, M. de Saint Martin. Men of science are advancing, like a subaltern in the West Indies. Thowret and Moreau, both literary names, are also in the necrology of the week. Lamartine, the poet, has taken his departure, with his family, for the East, bidding his good night, like another Childe Harolde, in verse. Have you seen his epistle to Walter Scott in the Cent et Un, for I have not, although they speak of it here ? De Vigny's " Stello" turns out to be an essay, a la Sterne, instead of a romance, with but the interest of good writing about it. The drama, since I wrote last, has made another stride into the incredible and abominable. A piece called " Sara" is played by those delightful actresses, Leontine Fay and Despreaux. I know not how even to allude to it with decency. The gist of the piece is, that Miss Sara is made to believe that she is a mo- ther, and has given birth to a child which is presented to her, the whole being a deception. The aim of the author must have been to amuse the audience by the blushes of the poor females con demned to act, under peril of losing their engagements. There can be nothing so perfectly absurd and infamous. The iron roads and bridges here do not thrive. The road from Orleans to Paris is postponed. An iron bridge over the Allier in Auvergne has given, way under a load, and failed, as the first erecteu opposite the Invalides here did some years ago. I see " t> y American letters here, that the New York folk have give, a splendid dinner to Washington Irving, and questioned \ » tm. thereat how long he intended to stay in America; wkerei TO to he replied, " All my life." THE ffflWH, July 15. COMMISSION OF LUNACY A GAINST MISS BAGSTER. [ Continued from our Paper of last Sunday.] SATURDAY. The principal witness examined was Mr. William Kingston, member of the College of Surgeons. Had known the family of Mrs. Bagster upwards of two years. After detailing several cir- cumstances, similar to those already published, he proceeded to disclose a conversation of a nature that is wholly unfit for publication ; and, in conclusion, said, he thought she had not sufficient mental capacity to distinguish between right and wrong. She had a great want of mind. She appears to be deficient in all he has been in the habit of considering evidence of mind. She is incapable of taking care of herself or her affairs. The witness was cross- examined by Mr. Follett. Jane Welsh and Mr. Sliadbolt, Mr. Cope and Mr. Gower, executors to Alderman Crowder's will, were examined, and stated, as the result of their knowledge of Miss Bagster, that she • was not capable of taking care of herself or property. Dr. Munro, sen., physician for 16 years to Bethlem Hospital, was examined— He stated, at great length, the particulars of conversations that he had with Miss Bagster, most of which were similar to those already published, relative to her visit to Gretna Green ; and concluded by saying, she is not capable of taking care of herself, and unfit to assume any of the responsibilities of a married life. Cross- examined by Mr. Follett— The Jury has on one occa- sion only found a verdict against his opinion. ^ It was here mentioned to the Commissioners that Miss Bag. ster had arrived, and was in attendance in the Judges' chamber; upon which they retired with the jury and the counsel, to hold a private examination. They were absent from half- past three o'clock till six, when they returned, and adjourned the further proceedings till Monday. MONDAY. The proceedings commenced this morning with the reading of the will of Mr. Alderman Crowder, from which it appeared that he gave to his executors 30,000/. 3 per Cent. Consols, upon trust, that they paid the interest to Mrs. Bagster during her life ; 10,000/. of that sum was at the disposal of Mrs. Bagster at her decease ; and after the payment of certain legacies, amounting to about 5,000/., the remainder was bequeathed to Miss Bagster. The Alderman's freehold and leasehold estates were also devised to Miss Bagster. Other legacies were left to Mrs. Ba^ among which were furniture, plate, & c. to the amount of 1,200/. wines and spirits to the amount of 200/., and 400/. in ready money. Not the slightest allusion was made in the will to Miss Bagster's state of mind, but directions were given relative to the disposal of the property in the event of her marriage, and if she had children, directions were given as to what part of the pro- perty was to be applied for their benefit; the property was not to be subject to the controul of any husband Miss Bagster might marry, but receipts were to be taken by the executors. The will of Mr. James Crowder was also read, from which it appeared that he bequeathed his house on Ludgate- hill to Mrs, Bagster and her daughter, and his other property, which was sworn under 5,0007., to the Alderman. Mr. Kelly summed up the evidence in support of the com- mission, and proceeded at great length to comment upon it. The learned gentleman dwelt on the evidence that has been before ad. duced, and adverted to the young lady's examination before the commissioners and the jury, as a proof of her unsoundness of mind. He particularly referred to a question that had been asked her respecting the reason for the observance of the Sab. bath, to which her reply was, that it consisted " in going to church in the morning, repeating the prayers after the clergy man, and afterwards taking her pleasure." He concluded with stating, that all the testimony had gone to show that she had no faculty but that of memory ; that the question for their consi deration was, whether she was capable of the management of her self and her affairs ; that the fate, fortune, and person, of this unfortunate young lady were all in their hands ; and that, as matter of necessity, as well as kindness to her, the best course they could adopt would be to place her under the protection of the Court, where, if hereafter reason— the best of God's gifts— should return, she will find herself in the possession of those resources and that property, which would otherwise be lost to Jier for ever. Mr. Law said, that it now became his important duty to pro duce his case, in behalf of the gentleman for whom he appeared • or rather to furnish to their minds the negative of that issue, the affirmative of which had been supported by his learned friends on the other side. After stating the law of the case, he pro • ceeded to say, he would now address them on what were the real facts of the case, and the station in which the parties stood to- wards each other on the 22d of April. He admitted that his client had been guilty of impropriety in the irregular proceed ings of what might be called a clandestine marriage. Mr. New- ton was the son of a late and intimate friend of Alderman Crow der, of twenty years standing. It was attempted to be proved that Miss Bagster knew nothing of the intention of her running away until the moment of its occurrence ; but how was that re- conciled with the fact of those words used by her at Mrs. New- ton's the day before—" When I go to the Zoological Garden I don't intend to return to Warwick- square." And when she was informed of the troubles she had given rise to, what was her . answer ? " I wish they would all live happily together." And when the Commissioner asked her to whom did she offer up her prayers when she went to church, what was her reply ? " To the Almighty, and I pray that he may carry me through the miseries of this investigation." And this was the lady that was _ of unsound mind, and had no idea of God or Heaven. Mr. Law here addressed the jury on the evidence that had been ad- duced of the consummation of the marriage, and deprecated the manner in which it had been obtained. Having dwelt at some • length on various parts of the evidence of the chambermaids at tbe inns at Carlisle and Keswick, and on that of Mr. Gower, he went on to state that much reliance had been placed on the fact that Miss Baxter had given different accounts of her property ; . hut had she had any means of acquiring any true knowledge of 5t ? Had the will, by which she was entitled to it, ever been read and explained to her? No such thing. And the answers ^ she had given were the very fact, namely, that she had 700/., which was the sum allowed for her maintenance, and 100/. pin- money. Great stress had also been laid on the statement that she had no idea of the - moral duties of matrimony; but what was her own declaration, when asked if she had been really mar- lied? Why, that " notwithstanding all the nonsense she had leen told to the contrary, her idea was that she was really mar- ried." And being asked if it were wrong for a married woman to love any one else but her husband, she replied, " that it was wrong, and the woman who should do so would go to hell." The fact of her being ignorant of arithmetic he would admit, but that was easily accounted for by the manner in which she had been educated, or rather spoiled, and allowed to do just as she pleased. Here the Court, on the application of Mr. Law, adjourned to the next day. TUESDAY. The inquisition in this case was resumed. Mr. Law, on resuming his speech to evidence, proceeded to remark upon the statement of the young lady herself when under examination on Saturday. He was quite certain that her state- ment, coupled with the will of her grandfather and uncle, would prove to them the real state of the mind of the young lady. The examination of the young lady took place in the adjoining Toom, before the Commissioners and the gentlemen who had been engaged by the respective parties. That examination began by the Chief Commissioner asking her if she came from Mr. Alderman Kelly's. She said " Yes." The next question, was, How long have you been living with Alderman Kelly ? " I think three months." Who did you live with before you went to Alderman Kelly? " With my mother." Did you not live with your grandfather, and how long since ? Her answer was, I think three years ago." The next question, Have you lived with him all your life ? and on the question being changed te ia long while, she said, " Yes, as long as I can remember anything." When did he live at Hammersmith ? *' I went to the school there. The second school I went to was Miss Price's, and I twas day boarder with that lady." How long did you stay at Miss Price's? I think it was about a year, and that lady said, if I did not continue at the school, I should not succeed." The young lady nest informed them that she went to Miss Grisidall; and, upon being asked tow that lady came to change her name she said, " I believe it was owing to her marrying a gentleman of fortune." Did you go to school any where else ? Here was hesitation •; but she afterwards gave a correct answer; she said, " No; I don't think I did." She then immediately said, Oh, yes! I went to school with Miss Jemmerson at Brook- green- lane. This was a long while ago." She then said, " I had a governess at home. The first, I think, was Miss Edwards, then Miss Sowerby, and then a lady whose name I do not recol- lect." The next answer was, " My next governess wass Miss Clayton." Has she been with you ever since ? " Yes; four or five years." Are you fond of Miss C. ? " Yes, I am ; she is very kind to me." She is with you still ? " Yes." Do you recollect going a long journey ? " Yes, Sir, I do." How long is it; do you recollect? " No." The young lady here turned round to Mr. Alderman Kelly, " Do yon not recollect ?" Where did you go to on that journey ? She repeated the words, and upon being asked, You do not recollect ? she said, " Yes, I do, and the name of the place is Springfield." Where did you go from ? " The Zoological Gardens." Upon being asked who she went with, she hesitated, and then said she went with Miss Clayton and the twTo Misses Newton. The Commissioner, seeing her .' agitated, asked her if she liked the gardens ? She replied, Yes, but I like other places better ; I like the theatres." And he ( Mr. Law) did not believe there was a young lady living within the bills of mortality but preferred the theatre to the Zoological Gardens. She was then asked why she liked to go to a theatre ? She said, " Merely for the sake of fashion." What do you go to the theatre for? She said, " I always choose out a good piece." What piece do you like best ? " 1 think the last one, and that, gentlemen, was the Hunchback. I do not know why I like it, hut there was something about it which was very much to be liked ; there was Miss Kemble ; she is a lady; I do not know the exact part, but she is represented as coming to town to visit the public places." Upon this question being repeated, she added—" And to visit her friends, but I forget their names. I did not remain to see the whole of it." What was it which amused you the most ? She said, " I do not remember at this moment." She was asked at what house it was ? " Covent- garden." To another question, " I have been to the theatres, most of them ;" and in enumerating them she mentioned Sadler's Wells and the other minor ones. She was asked which she liked best ? She said " Covent- garden, for all the fashions are there ;; the winter season, I mean." Now he ( Mr. Law) would say that out of 10,000 young ladies not one would give a different answer to what they had heard if those young ladies spoke the real sen- timents of their minds. On reverting to the Zoological Gardens, she said Miss Clayton was one of the party. " Who did you see there ? " I saw Mr. Laver and Mr. Newton there, and a gentleman whose name I have forgot ?" Did Mr. Newton say anything to- yeu ? " No ? but his sister said something." What was it ? She hesitated, and upon being asked " Did she forget what had been said ?" she replied, " I think she asked me to go and take a ride in her brother's cab, to go and pay a morning visit." What did you say? " I have no objection— I don't recollect what I said exactly." Did you go and pay the visit No, Sir, I altered my mind afterwards ; I said, No, I would not go." Then where did you go when you changed your mind ? You know I went to this place," meaning Springfield. Did you go all the way in the cab ? " No ; I think I went to Cam- den- town, and then got into another carriage." On being asked how many horses were iu the carriage, she said, " I think four." Did Mr. Newton ask you to go ? " I said to him that if he would go to Springfield as fast as he could, and would return to Warwick- square as fast as he could, I would have no objection." When was it you said that ? Here wag a pause, and upon it being repeated, she said, " It was before I got into the carriage— it was in the cab." Did you ask how far it was? " No; I should think it was 800 miles, or perhaps more." " Before you consented to go in the way you did to the Zoological Gardens, had you consented to go with Mr. Newton ? " I had been in the habit of going to Mrs. Newton's to coffee, and I had heard whispers of it, 1 must say " Whom did you hear whisper ? " Miss Emma Newton." What did you hear her say when she was whispering about it ? " She asked me if I had any objection. I said I thought if mamma heard of it, she would not like it. I knew it was of no use. I knew the family so many years, I did not like to disappoint them, or vex them." When you went to the Zoological Gardens, did you expect some- thing to happen? " Iliad an idea of something certainly. I cannot say that I had not." What had you an idea of? did you think you were going to be married? " I had an idea of it, be- cause the young lady told me about running away." When you went to the Zoological Gardens, what did you think was to be done ? " I almost made up my mind, that I was not to go back to Warwick- square." What were you going to do all that time ? where were you ? " We were on the road." Did the horses drive away at a good pace? " Oh, dear, yes, Sir ! I was so terrified lest we should be stopped." Do you know where Springfield is— what country is it in ?— It is in Scotland. What did you do at Springfield— what did you do at the inn ? " We went to the inn at Carlisle" ( avoiding all mention of Spring, field). What did you do at Springfield before you went to the inn at Carlisle ? Was any body called up ? " Yes." Do you know who it was ?— With considerable hesitation, not from ap- prehension, but disinclination to enter into this part of the case, she replied, " Yes, I did." What did he do? " He wished to know what was our object. He wished to know whether we had come, as many people came, for that purpose— for that same purpose. I said ' You will do it as fast as possible; I am in haste to get back.' " Why were you in such a hurry ? " I was afraid my friends would overtake me." What did he do ? it makes you laugh. " He said something, but I do not like to say what it was." What did he do, if you do not like to say what he said ? Had you a ring ? " He said something about a prayer book." What did he say about a prayer- book ? You do not re collect, perhaps ? " Yes I do, but I do not like to say." Is it something not fit to be repeated? " I think so." Did you laugh at the time ? " I did not. I do not think I did. I was very much fatigued. I had come a long way." Did you go to an inn ? " We went on to Springfield." Is there an inn at Springfield ? " There is a sort of cottage." And you went into the cottage ? " Yes." And he said something to you there which you do not like to tell ? " Yes." You need not be afraid to tell us, we will not tell any one ? She appeared unwilling to tell. You do not wish to tell. Did you write any thin. " Yes, my name." How came you to do so ? " The blacksmith told me to do so." How did you write your name ? " On piece of paper." How did you write it ? how did you spell it ? with an ' x ?' " No, I always spell it with a ' g.' My mother spells it with an ' x,' but I can't bear it." Did Mr. Newton write his name ? " Yes, and I was desired to write my name over again.' Who desired you to do so ? " The blacksmith." Did you go to Carlisle ? " Yes, I did." Did you sleep at Carlisle that night The young lady appeared very reluctant to answer this question She stated at last, " I must say we did so." Why do you say ' must ?' " Because you have asked me to say so." Is it not disagreeable to you ? " No, no." You went back to Carlisle " Yes." Did you go back together? And from thence another place ? When you got to Carlisle did you sleep there " We slept there." How many beds were ordered at Carlisle " I went on to Keswick, wishing to escape; that was the next day." You slept at Carlisle? " Yes." Had you bed to yourself? " That is such an odd question." You did not sleepj> y yourself, did you? Are you afraid of sleeping in the dark ? " I used to be afraid ; I am not so much afraid now as I used. As we grow older we, get more sense, and think less about it. I think my mother is more afraid of it than I am." You had a ligSit in your bed- room at Carlisle ? " Yes." Who was in the room with you, any body ? "' Yes, I must not tell; I was told not to tell. I won't tell any body." We won't tell any body. Whs slept in the room with yon ? She appeared desirous not to communicate, and turned round and said, " Alderman Kelly is not here, is he ? He is so nervous, I do not like to frighten him." No, he is gone out of the room. Who slept with you— did Mr. Newton ? " Yes." Why did he sleep in the same room with you ? " I don't know." Is he your husband ? " They say he is not, because it was not done at some of the churches and fashionable places at the west end of the town it was not a marriage ; so I was told." Do yau think you arethe wife of Mr. Newton? " I do not know, because mamma and Mr. Gower told me it was not a right marriage." What do you think ? " In my own mind I don't know about it; it often puzzles and perplexes me. I think sometimes it is." Do you love Mr. Newton ? " Yes, I like him very much, although I tell my friends a different story, because they don't like him." Have you any idea of marrying Alderman Kelly ? " I must tell the truth." Has he never said any thing to you about marriage ? " There has been something said to me ; about being Lady Mayoress, and the servant said he had heard I was to be Lady Mayoress; but I did not believe it, I thought it only a joke." Supposing Alderman Kelly offered to marry you, would you have him ? " He certainly has a very good fortune ; he keeps a carri- age and a cab. If I did marry him, it would be only for the sake of his fortune." But if you were married to Mr. Newton, what would you say then ? " I should not think it proper ; and under these circumstances, if he should be foolish enough to believe it, it is not my fault." Was Mr. Howell one of your favourites ? " I do not like him, in the face of that story of the west of England, which rests on the unsupported evidence of Miss Clayton." Would you marry Mr. Howell? " He was too religious." Ought not a man be religious ? " Yes, Sir." What do you mean by religion ? " Going to church, accompanying the minister, and afterwards take pleasure, and hearing a good ser- mon." When you go to church, and say your prayers, to whom do you say your prayers ? " To the Almighty, of course." And if you did not say your prayers to the Almighty, what would happen ? " It would be very serious indeed." And if you con- duct yourself ill, where would you go to ? " To hell, of course." And if you conduct yourself well? " To heaven, of course." And if a person was married to one man, and lived with another, what should you think of that ? " I should not think it was right ?" Suppose you were married to Mr. Newton, would you live with your mother ? " On that subject I don't know what to do ; I should rather live with him." Should you like to live with Mr. Newton all your life ? " Yes, Sir ; my mamma is quite irritable, and he is of a good disposition ; the thing I look for." Supposing you got tired of Mr. Newton, should you like to marry any one else ? " No, I should not think I should like it, but I do not think it would be proper. I do not think any one would do such a thing." The Learned Gentleman having commented at considerable length upon this evidence, said he should now proceed to offer a few observations to the Court and jury, as to the law affecting persons alleged to be insane ; after doing which, he concluded a most able and energetic speech, by thanking the Court and jury for the patience with which lie had been heard. An attempt to applaud ( which was immediately checked) fol- lowed the conclusion of the Learned Gentleman's speech, which occupied seven hours and a half in its delivery. The inquiry was then adjourned to the next day. WEDNESDAY. Doctor Morrison, Surgeon to the Surrey Lunatic House.— The following is an abstract of the witness's evidence :— He stated, I saw Miss Bagster four times ; the first interview took place on the 24th of June, and the other interviews on the fol- lowing Monday, Wednesday, and Friday ; I told her, in conse- quence of a law process in whieh she had been concerned, I had been requested to see her, and examine her state of mind, and, therefore, trusted she would excuse me if any questions I put to her appeared to be impertinent; she said she did not think I would do so, but some of the gentlemen who had called had asked her very impertinent and improper questions ; I then inquired how her education had been conducted ? she said she had been to day- schools, but never to boarding- schools— that she could read, and did read a little in a book; she said she had neglected arithmetic, and was not fond of it; you can tell me, however, what 5 and 5 make ? O, yes { she said), 10 ; she asked me if I had been to the Opera this season, and if I had seen Paganini ? observing, how wonderful wras his performance on one . string ; I asked if she read sometimes ? and she said, yes, and was fond of novels ; I asked her if she had read some of Scott's novels ? Yes, she replied. She then asked me if I had seen any of the exhi- bitions this year, adding, she had not, but should like to see them ; and observed, that the Exhibitions would close soon, as the summer was wearing away ; she said, what is a mad Doctor? I asked her if she knew Bedlam, and that a mad Doctor was one who attended patients in that place ; she then said, that a gen- tleman had told her that he was a mad Doctor ; and asked if Dr. Haslam and Dr. Sutherland wTere mad Doctors ? and said, are you one ? 1 said, no ; I cure all diseases, if I can ; I asked her if she had any money in her purse, and she said, " No, every thing I require is bought for me ; I am not in the habit of pay- ing money." On the second interview she again reoeived me politely, shook me by the hand, and hoped my daughters were well; Dr. Roots and Dr. Sutherland had examined her two hours that day ; she said she was quite nervous in consequence of seeing so many strangers and answering so many questions, and by being told that they were endeavouring to ascertain if she was in her senses ; that Dr. Haslam had frightened her by let- ting her know this. She read a few passages in " Waverley ;" I asked her if she had read " Guy Mannering ?" and she said yes; and in reply to my question, said she recollected the character of the Witch of Endor, but pansed, as if wrong, and said Meg Merrilies ; and she repeated the name as if it had just come to her memory; she said she had not seen Mr. Newton since she was taken away from him ; and in reply to my question, said, " she should like to return to him, but so not long as tilings were in the present state— in a year, perhaps ; I believe it will be better to wait some time ; it was a foolish thing, but you' know one reads of such things in novels ; I am sure I would not have done it if I had known it would have led to all this work." As to her fortune, she said her grandfather had left executors to take care of it for her ; her mother, she said, had not allowed her money at any time; I said, what ? have you never had a penny to give to a beggar ? she said, no, never ; I have had no opportunity of learning the use of money; I am of opinion she is not of unsound mind, and her ignorance of many things proceeds rather from defect of education than from want of capacity. On his cross- examination by Mr. Pollock, the witness further stated it to be his opinion, that a deficiency of education will account for all the appearances observed in Miss Bagster ; her incompetency to manage her affairs arises not from her unsound- ness of mind, but from ignorance ; I have no hesitation in say- ing, that she is capable of instruction, so as to manage her affairs ; the indulgence of the grandfather, and conduct of the mother towards her, and the frequent change of her teachers, were calculated to produce the effect we now see. Doctor Roots examined— His testimony was of the same na- ture which has been so frequently reported as to the state of this lady's mind. The result of his observation of Miss Bagster, he stated to be that from her ignorance of numbers, and of the value of property, as well as the very feeble state of her reason- ing powers, his opinion was, that she is not competent to take care of her person or property. THURSDAY. Dr. Haslam examined— This witness repeated the answers given to him by Miss Bagster during two conversations which he had with her, and which were, for the greater part, similar to those deposed to by some of the preceding witnesses. The fol- lowing are those which appeared the most novel: Did you know the gentlemen who lately came and asked you a variety of questions ? No, but I have been told they are friends of Alderman Kelly. I said, Madam, you have been deceived ; they are all of them doctors— mad doctors— and I am one myl self. She here became very much affected, and wept, and said, I hope, Sir, you do not think me a fool; I have sense enough , to know that I rim not so clever as many other - persons, but I am no fool; and I hope, Sir, you do not think me a fool ? I said by no means. She said, I know that my grandfather's fond- ness spoiled me : he told me he would leave me a fortune, and I am sensible that I have neglected my learning; I never liked figures, but at one time I could pretty well go through the mul- tiplication table ; and without being asked by me, began with twice one are two, and went on to twice ten are twenty, but went no further. The witness thus concluded his direct testi- mony. From these three interviews, I am able to form a cor- rect opinion of her state of mind. She is not a lunatic; by the term lunatic, I comprehend all those terms meant in a: legal sense— insanity, madness, melancholy depression ; she is not an idiot, nor is she of unsound mind. Cross- examined by Mr. Pollock— Is she of sound mind ? Witness— I never saw a person of sound mind. ( Laughter.) Mr. Pollock— Do you mean that as an answer to my question? Witness— I presume, Sir, that the Deity is of sound mind, and, he alone. Mr. Pollock— How came you to be of that opinion; where did you learn it ? How long have you been a mad- doctor ? Witness— I learned it after 40 years' reflection, and after fre- quent conversation with the best divines in the country. Mr. Pollock— I ask you, is that young lady of sound mind ? Witness— Competently sound. Mr. Pollock— Is she able to take care of herself, or to manage her affairs ? Witness— I do not know what affairs she has to manage. I am unacquainted with her affairs. Mr. Pollock— Is she competent to aet as mistress of a family ? Witness ( after a short pause),— Whensheis properly instructed, I presume she is. Having stated her defects of education, a- nd that I believe they can be readily supplied, 1 believe that she would become capable of managing her domestic concerns, as well as any other woman. Mr. Pollock— Do I understand, that with the exception of the defects in her education, you think she is competent to the ordi- nary affairs of life ? Witness— I do. Mr. Pollock— Do you think her present disabilities would be removed by education ? Witness— I am persuaded of it. Mr. Pollock— How long would it take to render her fit? Witness— That would depend upon the person tutoring, and the manner in which the tuition was exercised. Mr. Pollock— Supposing her to be taught in the best manner, and by the ablest masters, how long would it take ? Witness— Yon must tell me the quantity of education to be obtained be- fore I can answer that. She is deficient in arithmetic, and in music, but that is not an essential. My opinion is founded on the manner in which she answered the questions I put to her. Mr. Pollock— When you went to visit Miss Bagster, did you make any attempt to teach her ? Witness— No, Sir ; I am not a schoolmaster. I did not go to teach, but to learn the state of her mind. ( Loud laughter.) Mr. Pollock— But when she told you that she had formerly known the multiplication table pretty well, did you not ask her any questions about it ? Witness— No, Sir. Mr. Pollock— Why did you not, Sir ? Witness— Because I did not go there to cross - examine her, but to examine her in chief. ( Immense laughter.) Mr. Pollock— I wish, Dr. Haslam, you would answer my questions directly, and then you may ramble as you like after- wards. Witness— I am not much inclined to ramble. I am pretty well fixed here at present. ( Continued laughter.) I Re- examined by Mr. Follett— I have written several books upon insanity, and upon the powers of the mind in the morbid state. Idiocy is well marked in the countenance of every idiot; it speaks for itself. There is no such expression in the coun- tenance of this young lady. A great symptom of idiocy is igno- rance of the fact of its existence. Mr. Bowling was then recalled, and examined by the Chief Commissioner, at the instance of some of the jury; but his evidence was of that delicate character, with reference to the statement to the witness by Miss Bagster of the transaction in the carriage, that it is impossible we could even allude to its outlines. Mr. Christopher Wilson Wilson was then examined. He said he accompanied the parties to Springfield, and travelled in tiie rumble at the back of the barouche the whole way. The witness gave the oft- repeated description of what took place at the mar- riage. The next morning the subject of writing home was spoken of. Miss Bagster said she was so nervous then that she could not write. Witness sketched a letter for her, and she wrote one from it to her mother. The letter was here read ; it was to the following effect :— " Carlisle. " My dearest Mamma— I hardly know how to write to you after what has taken place ; indeed, I am so agitated at the thoughts of having so offended you, that I can scarcely hold a pen. Pray, pray, forgive me, and intercede with my guardians, and send me a letter addressed to the Post- office, Liverpool. " Raymond has written to his mamma, entreating her forgive- ness : which I again entreat you to grant. " Your affectionate daughter, " April 23, 1832." " ROSA. At the conclusion of this witness's testimony, the case was adjourned. FRIDAY. The inquiry was resumed this morning. Miss E. M. Newton, examined by the Court.— I was aware of the intention of my brother before I went to the Zoological gar- dens ; I first knew of that intention about a month before ; ou the Thursday ( before the Saturday of the elopement) I had some conversation with Miss Bagster for the first time upon the sub- ject ; I then said, " Well, dear Rosa, you will be far away by this day week." She replied, " Yes, I have no doubt I shall be much happier." Witness also stated, that in the Zoological gar- dens, and immediately before her brother and Miss Bagster set off for Gretna- green, she ( the witness) took Miss Bagster apart, and begged she would remember the solemn step she was about to take, and to consider of it; I asked her if she was as firm and happy in her determination to go as ever, and whether she really preferred Raymond to all the young men she had ever known or seen. She replied, without hesitation, " Indeed I do, dear Emma ; I have known him longer, and love him better than any one else." Alderman Kelly examined.— This witness deposed to acts of violent conduct on the part of Miss Bagster, similar to those already stated, and said, I have had frequent opportunities of seeing Miss Bagster during the last seven or eight years; in my judgment, the state of her mind is childish and imbecile, not possessing the usual reasoning faculties which others possess. After a few more questions had been put to the witness, and to- Dr. Monroe, who was recalled, the chief Commissioner said, then we will consider the evidence as now closed, Mr. Pollock rose to reply, and after making some general ob- servations on the case, proceeded to read and comment on some of the evidence, and in re- stating some of the circumstances of the elopement, said, I denounce Sir. Newton as a wretch ; and if he had been a man of feeling, honour, or humanity, he could never have carried off this young person for the purpose of consigning her to an asylum, and sharing her property with those who had fed his brutal appetite to obtain it. The executors, long before this- wicked aud unholy marriage, as it was called, contemplated taking out a Commission of Lunacy against this unhappy individual j but they thought she was safe under the protection of her mother, and that no man would attempt to do that which Mr. July 15. THE TOWS, 231 Newton had done, and which he and Ills friend Mr. Wilson appeared to take great pleasure in, but which act was the finish- ing touch, to the unfortunate and melancholy state of Miss Bag- ster's mind. The object of those by whom these proceedings had been instituted was to endeavour to rescue Miss Bagster from the situation she was placed in, not by her own free will, but by the acts of Mr. Newton, and whose base motive was the desire to obtain her. property. If the result of tbe verdict was that Miss Bhgster- was of sound mind, it would restore her to the arms of Mr. ' Stsuton ; she would be placed under bis protection, and the fortune ilier grandfather bad left her would be under his control. But, if - shewas pronounced of unsound mind, the Lord Chancellor would order : tUat protection should be thrown around her person and estate, and if she disliked her mother, some other committee would be ap- pointed to take care other person. Mr. Pollock's speech appeared, to excite tlie most intense in- terest,. and was received with the most profound attention by a very crowded court. Mr. Follett is to be beard in reply, oil the part of Mr. Newton. The Court adjourned at four o'clock to the next morning. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. LOWAX n. JAB is.— Tuesday, an action was brought on a Bill of Exchange for 1,000!., drawn by the defendant on Lord Foley. Mr. Sliee stated the case. He said the plaintiff was a gentleman • of considerable property, who, having some money idle, thought it would be usefully employed in discounting bills. Accordingly, he entered into some transactions of tbat kind wilh a person named Sutton, from whom he received the bill in question. He would prove the acceptance of the defendant, that lie had it for a valua- ble consideration; and though he had taken it after it was due, it would also be proved that the then holder had a right to recover upon it. Mr. Latham was called, and proved the bill to have been drawn and endorsed by the defendant, who was a paymaster of Exchequer Bills, like himself. H. E. Masaey presented the bill at Drummond's ; the answer was, that it was not provided ton Mr. Sutton was then called.— He said he got the bill in question from a Mr. Gompertz, to whom he gave 940/. in cash and a horse for it; this was on the 10th of November. He presented the bill, but- it was nut paid ; about two months after it was due he gave it to the plaintiff, to whom at the time he owed upwards of 3,000/. Cross examined by Mr. Williams.— Was of no profession or bu- siness since 1814 or 1816, when he was Secretary at the Opera House. Mr. Williams— Pray, Sir, will you, allow me to ask you how you maintain yourself? The witness was extremely indignant at this question, and ap- pealed to his Lordship whether he was bound to answer such an impertinent question ? tfis Lordship was of opinion that it might be material. The witness, then, with a face which was expressive of the greatest contempt, looked at Mr. Williams, and said he lived upon his means, his business, and other ways. Mr. Williams.— Now., Sir, without at all meaning to offend you, I would ask, do you know Hertford House in Piccadilly 1— I do. Mr. Williams.— Is it a gambling- house, and are not you pro- prietor of it? Witness.— I do not know what you mean by a gambling- house ; it is a. club- bouse, and I am a member, but not a proprietor, nor do I know who is. He had bad dealings with Gompertz to the amount of 600/., but did not know either what he did or where be lived. At the time he gave this bill to Lomax he owed him 3,000Z. and upwards, entirely for money borrowed. He did not know any person named Hutchinson, or Bevan ; be resided in Hertfordshire, and bad a house in Curzon- street, also lodgings in Oxendon- street, • which might be a sporting neighbourhood ; perhaps Mr. Williams might sport there sometimes, but he ( the witness) sported else- where. Mr. Williamsi for the defendant, said, that both Mr-. Jadis and Lord Foley had been swindled out of this bill by some of those men who made it their trade to advertise money to / end. The Jury returned a. verdict for tlie plaintiff— damages l, 000i. with interest from the 5th of May. OLD BAILEY. — On Monday Thomas Reilly, a shoemaker, was indicted for the • wilful milder of his wife Catherine, in Compton- street, Clerkenwell, on the 15lh of June last. The evidence in support of tbe indict- ment was the same which has been recently detailed in our police reports. The prisoner said nothing in defence, but declared bis innocence of tbe charge. The Jury retired, and, after three quarters of an hour's delibera- tion, brought in a verdict of guilty of murder. The Recorder then pronounced sentence on him, which was, tliafc he be hanged on Wednesday, and his body be given up for dissection. The prisoner during the entire trial showed a calm and composed appearance. Tbe only symptom of a troubled mind that he evinced was an insatiable thirst. He drank immense quantities of water. But when the Jury returned, bis features became distorted, and his whole frame convulsed. He listened to bis sentence very atten- tively, the picture of horror and despair, and when leaving the dock turned quickly about three times, and stared wildly at tbe bench. RETRACTING A VERDICT.:— Tuesday, Eliza Reay, a girl about 13 years of age, was indicted for stealing sixty- eight yards of silk, and other articles, of the value of 81. 1.4s., the property of Mr. John Holland ; and her parents, Robert and Sarah lleay, for re- ceiving the same, well knowing tliein to have been stolen. Tbe whole of the evidence resting upon tbe sole testimony of a youthful accomplice, who bad been admitted as evidence for the Crown, Mr. Clarkson, who attended on behalf of the receivers, submitted tbat there was not a tittle of evidence to go to the Jury. Mr. Sergeant Arabin said he was of a different opinion, and therefore minutely recapitulated the evidence to the Jury, who de- clared all the prisoners Guilty ; upon which Mr. Clarkson observed, tbat in tbe. whole course of his practice he bad never beard a more monstrous verdict; and as there was a second indictment against the child, he should challenge the Jury. Upon which The Foreman of the Jury requested the Court to allow them to • reconsider their verdict; and, after having consulted together for more than twenty minutes, they found Eliza Reay Guilty, and ac- quitted Robert and Sarah Reay. Tbe Court then informed Eliza Reay, that she. having been a wholesale thief, must be sent out of tbe country. THE FORGED LOTTERY- TICKET.— On Tuesday Robert Bloice, a carpenter, aged 43, was indicted for having utiered a forged share of a lottery- ticket, with intent to defraud John Rowland Duiant, a partner of the firm of Hazard and Co., the late lottery contractors. The particulars ot this case have already been published in this paper, as appeared in proceedings at the police- office. After hearing several witnesses, the foreman of the jury rose and said, that the jury had made up their minds to acquit the prisoner. A verdict of acquittal was hailed by a burst of applause, accom panied by loud clapping of bands from all parts of the court, which was very much crowded. Mrs. Sophia Horder, wbo carries on the business of a dress- maker in Hanovei- street, Hanover- square, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging her with purloining eighteen yards of riband from the shop of Messrs. Hodges and Lowman, linen- drapers, Regent- street. The particulars of this case will be found in our police report. The court deferred passing judgment for the present. ROBBERY AT THE FIRE AT SMITHERS' HOUSE.— On Wednes- day jhithoniy Clarke was indicted for stealing a gold watch and a variety of other valuable articles, tbe property of Miss Catherine Twamley, sister to the late Miss Twamley, for whose murder Smithers was hanged on Monday last. The prosecutrix, who appeared much affected by the recent calamity, deposed to having lodged in the house of Smithers, and having lost the property now produced at the time of the fire, a portion of which she identified as her own, and the remainder belonged to her sister* during her lifetime, but became hers- by her necent death. Mr. Smart, a gold- refiner in Prince's- street, Sfflho, proved the prisoner bringing a gold watch, gold chain, and silver guard chain', to his shop, and offering them for sale. Witness refused to purchase them, and, having beard of the fire in Oxford- street, he suspected that they bad been stolen therefrom, and he therefore detained the prisoner, and gave him into custody. The prisoner acknowledged that he found the property in the ruins, but denied that he intended to appropriate them to his own use. The jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced; to be trans- ported for seven years. STEALING A LION.— On Thursday Andrew Hall, a lad about 10 years of age, was indicted for stealing a lion, aged 229 years, value one shilling, the property of a person named Nicholas. It appeared that the prosecutor keeps a curiosity shop inHoxton, and on the day mentioned in the indictment the prisoner went in unperceived, and pocketed the lion. A gentleman who happened to be passing at tbe moment saw tbe felony committed ; he instantly stopped the prisoner, and he found the lion ill his breeches pocket. Here the lion was produced and identified by the prosecutor. It was manufactured in ivory in 1603 by Pietro Winnat. The jury found tbe prisoner guilty, and the court sentenced him to be privately whipped and discharged. The Sessions having ended, the Recorder passed sentence of death upon the following individuals, viz.:— Henry Otter and William Jones, for house- breaking and larceny; Levi de Sizer, for a robbery from tbe person, A great number of prisoners were transported for life, fourteen years, and seven years. Others were ordered to be imprisoned for terms varying from two years to seven days, and some were sentenced, to be privately whipped and discharged. POLICE. MANSION- HOUSE.— Saturday two men, named John Devey and Jnhn Crote, were charged with having disturbed the neighbour- hood of Tower- hill by fighting. The cause ofthe quarrel, as it was no common one, we shall particularize. Devey, as it appears, gained celebrity by drinking beer through his nose, an accomplishment which is called " snuffling the heavy," and has won several wagers by thus irreverently changing the uses for which nature intended that noble feature. On Friday evening Crote, who is a stranger to him, and has some talent in the same line, felt rather jealous of his fame, and expiessed a doubt of bis ability lo " snufile a pint clean," without taking it from his nose, at the same time offering to, run the heavy up bis: own konk without blowing a bit from it into tbe measure. A wager was Ihe conse- quence, and umpires were appointed. Devey began and went on for some time in a very handsome style, occasionally addressing a friend and taking a bit of bread and cheese as the beer flew up bis ( nostrils. Before, however, lie got through two- thirds of bis task he was seized with a violent fit of sneezing, in consequence of the difficulty with which a piece of match passed through, so tbat he failed. Crote then commenced. To the astonishment of every body in the public- house the beer quickly disappeared, and this Wonderful snuffler contrived to whistle during the experiment, " Had I heart for falsehood framed." He was not, however, mag- nanimous enough to bear bis victory with moderation, but sneered at Devey's. want of command over liis, nose, swore the poor man's " konk" wasn't worth a d— n, and never, deserved to taste a drop of beer again, and used other provoking language. This naturally led to a quarrel, in which a very singula! fact came to light— the men struck violently at each other, but although each made the other's nose crack again, not a drop of blood issued from either. They bled at the mouth and ears, and other parts ofthe head,, but their noses stood out pale and bloodless amidst tile wreck of the surrounding features. The Lord Mayor— Well, this is certainly a very odd affair, and it is a pity that two men, who might divide the hemisphere of London between them as far as regards this singular way of drink- ing, should endeavour to disqualify each other. I suppose they derive their living. from their noses. ( Laughter.) The policeman who took them into custody, said he had reason to think that Devey supported his family through his nose at fairs and- other publiG exhibitions. He knew, nothing of Crote. Devey— Please you, my lord, Crote acted unproper; for I am sure it was lie as thro wed the match in wot stopped my draught. Why, my lord, I drinked two pints just afore that, and I done it so clean, that you or any other gentleman might a drinked after me. Crote— No, my lord, I never meddled wi' none on it, and I wouldn't a eared if there was half a dozen matches in mine.— ( Loud laughter.) The Lord Mayor— Are you both ready to give good bail that you will not again, disturb the neighbourhood? The two men declared tbat they were quite unprepared, but tliey would willingly be security for each other. The Lord Mayor consented to take this security, and the de- fendants went away friends. Before they, parted from each other Crote set all Devey's pre- tensions at rest. In a tap- room, near the Mansion- house, he laid a wager of a shilling that lie would snuffle a glass of gin without winking. Up the gin went, and Crote held out his hand for tbe shilling. *' No ( said the fellow who betted with him), I don't think it was gin." " There then ( said Crote, who had snuffled the spirits without swallowing it, and he squirted the mouthful into the eyes and mouth of Ihe loser), d— n your buttons, you can smell it, and see it, and taste it altogether, you nasty, insignificant, know- nothing warmint." GUILDHALL.— SWINDLING.— Tuesday arespectably- dressed, middle- aged female, named Eliza Arnold, alias Jones, alias Foster, was charged wilh defrauding various tradesmen. It appears that she had been in the habit of dressing up her son, about twelve years of age, in livery, who, with an accomplice attired as a lady's maid, gave her rather an imposing appearance. She then hires a horse and chaise from a livery- stable keeper, and easily procures admittance to fashionable lodgings—- her residence in which enables her to obtain goods from various tradesmen. Some time back she obtained a hat for her son from a halter at Islington, who allowed her to take it away without payment, on her saying she would call again and order something of some value. Tlie hatter lately met the son with the identical hat on his head, and be immediately seized him, and threatened to detain him if be did not give up the residence of bis mistress. Tbe boy was thus obliged to give a clew to his mother, who bad taken refuge in an atlic in Pentonville. There were several tradesmen present to prefer charges. A green- grocer bad allowed her to have nineteen shillings' worth of vegeta- bles in five days. A milliner said the clothes on Mrs. Arnold's back belonged to her; and a livery- stable- keeper stated, that his horse and chaise, after being kept from him three months, had been sent back almost valueless.— Tbe prisoner met every charge with looks of defiance, and the Magistrates were obliged to dis- charge her, as all the cases against Jier were mere debts. WORSHIP- STREET.— On Saturday night, an elderly man, named James Holt, was charged with attempting to commit suicide at a public- house. He had managed to make a slight incision in his throat. When remonstrated with by the magistrates, he said lie would not promise not to attempt suicide again. Castlereagh bad com- mitted suicide, and the Duke of Newcastle had said, '* A man has a right to do what he likes with his own." His throat was his own, and he had a right to do what he liked with it. The magistrates ordered him to be taken to the infirmary. On Monday, Mr. W. Washington, a respectable tradesman, at- tended before the magistrates, and said tbat the prisoner had bor- rowed 10s. from a friend of bis, named Hall, a saddler in Piccadilly, and not being able to return it on Saturday, as he promised, and under the excitement of liquor, he made tbe attempt; but he ( Mr. W.), in order to calm his mind, had that morning sent to Mr. Hall, and paid the money. He had known the prisoner upwards of 40 years; lie knew liim as a respectable manufacturer at Man- chester, and at one time he was worth upwards of40,000/.; he went to the same school with Sir Ilobt. Peel, and was then equally as re- spected and as respectable ; his pride prevented him from applying to liis friends, and his distressed wife and daughter were outside of the office. The magistrates then ordered'the prisoner before him, and desired that the wife and daughter might be brought in. Tbe scene that followed was; truly, distressing, particularly between the father and daughter, a young woman about 20' years of age. When the prisoner recovered a little, he begged GodV pardon for tbe rasli act he attempted, and said lie felt sincerely thankful to the magis- trates for the kindness and attention paid to liitn at the prison by his orders; and to questions from Mr. Broughton, he said he was formerly a rope manufacturer at Manchester, and tbe first cause of bis misfortunes in trade arose from an embargo laid on all British ships in the Baltic by the late Empress of Russia. After apolo- gising to tbe police for bis conduct, lie left the office, accompanied by his wife and daughter. MARLBOROUGH- STREET.— Monday Mrs. Sophia Harder, a fashionably- attired female, about thirty- five years of age, who keeps an extensive establishment in the dress- making and millinery business, at No. 9, Hanover- street, Hanover square, was charged with purloining eighteen yards of ribbon from the shop of Messrs. Hodges and Lowman, linendrapers, Regent- street, and three ladies' worked net collars, valued at 41. the property of Mr. E. P. Jones, lacetnan, 268, Regent- street. The following evidence was taken down by the clerk:— John Orchard stated that he was in the em- ploy of Messrs. Hodges and Lowman, and about ten o'clock that morning he saw the prisoner looking at some, ribbons ; he suspected her, and watched her proceedings; a drawer full of ribbons was lying on tbe counter before her, and he perceived her put her hand in tbe drawer, take out something which be could not distinctly see, and then put her hand in the silk bag which she carried with her. On her leaving the shop witness followed her, and saw her enter the premises of Mr- Jones, in the same street. He waited until she came out, when he said to her that ho thought she had got more than her own in the bag. She replied, that if such was the case she must have taken it in a mistake ; at witness's request she accompa- nied him back to his employer's shop, where she took out ofher bag eighteen yards of ribbon, worth about 10s; witness sent for an officer and gave her into custody. John Andrews, the officer, deposed that on receiving charge of the prisoner, lie asked her how it was tbat she caine to do such an act, when she replied that she did it in an unguarded moment, and was very sorry, and hoped the gentlemen would forgive her. Witness searched her bag, and found three ladies' worked collars in it, which be afterwards ascertained belonged to Mr. Jones of Regent- street. Mr. Jones staled that he bad frequently seen the prisoner in his shop ; she was ill the habit of coming about twice a week. She had made a purchase this morning, which was ordered to be sent to her residence. The witness identified the net collars as his pro- perty. The prisoner, on being asked if she had any thing to state, re- plied in tbe negative. The husband of the prisoner said tbat his wife was confused in lier mind, and that if she did what was attributed to her, she was unconscious of what she was doing. The Magistrate considered be should not be doing his duty, were he not to commit her to take her trial. The prisoner's husband did not appear to be aware of the Ma- gistrate's decision, and he made inquiries as to what was to be done to his wife. On being informed that she was to be committed to Newgale, he exclaimed in a tone of mental agony, " Good God I is it possible?" 11c then left the Magistrate's room, declaring that he was certain bis wife was unconscious of what she was doing when she took tbe property. HATTON- GARDEN— On Monday George Cooper, aged 38. a man well known at several of the minor theatres as Harlequin, was brought to this office in custody, charged with having attempted to commit an assault on the person of a child eight years of age, daughter of Mr. Joseph Stride, of Chapel- place, Islington. Also with the like attempt, on Elizabeth, aged eight, and Rebecca, aged six, daughters: of- Mrs. Sarah Blackwell, of Chapel- place. Rachael Stride stated that the prisoner enticed her into an- un- inhabited house near the Liverpool- road, where be gave her some pictures and three- halfpence. The witness then, described what followed, which is too disgusting for publication. He then left her, having previously made her promise not to tell any one what had happened. On the Monday following she again saw tbe prisoner, who treated her exactly in the same manner he had done previously. The mother of the girl deposed tbat on Tuesday morning her daughter was unable to get up, and on questioning her she elicited sufficient to induce her to carry her to a surgeon. Sergeant Knott proved: having taken tbe prisoner into custody ; he was lurking about the fields in tbe Liverpool- road. Witness had since made inquiries, and had brought the two other children against the prisoner for a similar offence. There were many others who had been ill- treated by him, but were unable to attend. The two girls, Rebecca Blackwell and Elizabeth Blackwell, then deposed that the prisoner enticed them into an empty house oil Tuesday last, and, after giving them some playthings, ill- lreated them. The prisoner made a defence which tended, if possible, to ag- gravate the offence. He said, with the greatest indifference, that the children seduced him into crime. He was fully committed for trial. The parties, and Mr. Ashby, the overseer of Islington parish, j were bound over to prosecute. Emma Emm and Sarah Catling were charged under the following circumstances :— Davis, 90 G, deposed that he was on duty on the Woodbridge estate, Clerkenwell, about three o'clock that morning, when he saw the defendants with a large bundle. Having watched them for a few minutes, they went under one of the arches, when witness fol- lowed them, and found that the bundle in question contained 17 cats, fresh killed— indeed some of them were quite warm. Just as he pounced upon them they were beginning to skin them. A gentleman connected with the estate here stepped forward, and stated that cat- stealers were ill the habit of going on to the estate every riiglit. They could very easily conceal themselves und;' roneof the arches, and carry on tbe " process of skinning." It was quite a nuisance, for there were the carcasses of dead cats sufficient to load two dust carts. The defendants were held to bail. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF BIGAMY Wednesday, Richard Stanton, tbe man who, it will be recollected by many of our readers, was attacked by liis wife, and dreadfully wounded with a razor, some years ago, in Clerkenwell, was brought before Mr, Wedg- wood, charged with intermarrying with Lydia Ann Hughes, his for- mer wife being still alive. Lydia Ann Hughes stated that she was married to the prisoner by bans, on the 18th of January, 1824, at Newington Church, and that he left her in three months after the ceremony, saying that he must go back to his first wife, and telling her ( the complainant) that bis other wife would kill her if she came within reach of her, as she was of a very violent and impetuous temper. The witness produced the certificate of her marriage with the prisoner, and said that, after he had given such an account of his first wife, she went and lived with her mother, and was delivered of a daughter. The child was then in court, and, she added, that any person could at once see the resemblance between it and the father. Mr. Wedgwood— Then you were married to the prisoner sub- sequently to tbe dreadful act committed upon the prisoner by his wife, at Clerkenwell, and. which excited so much of the public at- tention at the time ? Complainant— I was married to him in three months after the accident. Mr. Wedgwood— Were you aware at the time that he was a married man 1 Complainant— I certainly was: but he told me that, in conse- quence of his wife having used him so shamefully, she had forfeited all claim upon him, and that he was determined on leaving her for ever, and taking another wife. Believing what he said was true, the complainant added that she consented, to marry him. Mr. Wedgwood inquired whether the prisoner bad assisted in the support ofthe child; and the reply was that he had not. Tbe Magistrate then asked whether he disclaimed being She father of it? The complaisant said that the prisoner did not deny the fact and that very morning had offered to give 5s, a week for the main- tenance of the child, and keep up the payments, if she consented not to pursue this mailer any further. The Magistrate then inquired whether tbe prisoner was now living with the wife who was reported to have inflicted serious in- juries upon him?— The complainant replied in the affirmative. Mr. Wedgwood inquired whether the prisoner's first wife intended, to come forward and give evidence against him in this case ? Jefferson, the officer, who took the prisoner into custody, sajd that nothing would induce the first wife to appear against him, and she even refused to give any information by which the certificate of their marriage might be procured. The Magistrate said that he must remand him until proof of the first marriage was adduced. UNION- HALL.— Tuesday Mr. Bayes, a solicitor, attended at this office to apply for a summons against an individual calling him- self Lord Annandale, for non- payment of servants' wages. Mr. Bayes stated, that about nine months ago the individual against whom lie now applied for a summons, engaged a splendid mansion at Fulham, once the residence of the Duke of Sussex, and had passed himself off as Lord Annandale. He furnished the house in a style of splendour, engaged a set of servants, includ- ing coachman and footmen, and, in fact, lived in a way becoming tbe rank of the title lo which he aspired. Matters were carried 011 in this style until recently, when the tradesmen began to get clamorous for tbe payment of their bills, and finding all applica- tions on their part useless, they at length arrested him, and be wa3 now confined in the King's Bench. There were eleven servants now at Sussex House, to all of whom lie was indebted, and their condition was truly unfortunate, for they were all literally starving, their only food being that which the garden produced. Mr. Murray said, that if things were in such a condition as, had been represented, the 11 servants bad better leave the house, and look for other situations, rather than run the risk of starvation. Mr. Bayes> upon leaving the office, intimated that he should not let the matter drop there, until he had obtained redress for tbe eleven poor servants, on whose behalf he had made this ap- plication. THAMES OFFICE.— CUTTING AND MAIMING.— Captain Jose Ramon de Eustacha, master of the Spanish ship Yberia, was charged with wilfully cutting and maiming- William Palmer, master of the sloop Devereux, of Harwich, with intent to murder hiin or do him some grievous bodily harm. The complainant, whose head was bandaged, stated that his vessel was lying alongside the prisoner's vessel off Union Stairs, Wapping, and on Monday he put a fender out, to prevent one vessel damaging the other. The prisoner said it injured bis paint, and lie wanted him to remove it, but he ( complainant) refused to do so. The prisoner then directed a lad to fetch him an axe, and it was no sooner brought than he attempted to cut the lashings by which the fender was suspended. He then raised the axe with both hands, and struck at his ( complainant's) head, but the moment the weapon was descending he stooped. The edge of the axe cut the back part of his head, and tbe blood flowed profusely down his shoulders, and everything lie bad on was almost instantly saturated with gore. He had no doubt that had he not " bobbed" his head forward, his skull would have been cleft in two. He was certain Ihe blow was aimed at his head, and not at the fender. The prisoner denied be bad used his axe, and called his chief mate to prove that complainant had hurt his head by falling against the fender. This, however, was completely disproved by several witnesses. Tbe prisoner received a good character, and it was stated he would be ruined if he were confined. Mr. Ballantyne said the case was very serious. Had the blow proved fatal, he should have committed the prisoner for murder. As it was, he should commit him on tbe capital charge of cutting and maiming.— Prisoner was then committed. EXECUTION.— Monday morning, at the usual hour ( 8), Jona- than Smithers underwent the extreme sentence of the law in, front of Newgate, for the crimes of arson and murder. During the interval between the hour of condemnation and that of his execution, he had not for one moment considered that his fate was any other than inevitable, but repeatedly complained that it was hard that he should have been tried for murder, as, had he been tried, only for arson, his life would not have been so soon forfeited, nor his body given over for dissection. After the chapel service on Sunday, his wife ( and child by a former hus- band), had an interview with, him in the afternoon, and it was remarked by the turnkeys that there was not the slighest emo tion on either side, or the usual heart- rending scene, which on all occasions takes place at the parting interview between a hus- band who was on the brink of eternity and his family. On leaving the cell, she said, " Good bye, Smithers," kissed him, and retired. A little before eight, Smithers entered the press- room,, attended by the Rev. Dr. Cotton and Mr. Baker ; he approached the yeomen with a firm step; having bowed to the sheriffs, he gave himself up to be pinioned. All being ready, the procession proceeded to the scaffold. He told Mr. Baker that it was strange,, that for years past he had had a presentiment he should die on the scaffold by the hand of the common executioner, as his wife, to whom he wished Mr. Wontner to forward a letter as soon as. he should be no more, could testify. After praying for a con- siderable time, and the Ordinary having given the usual signal,, the bolt was withdrawn, and he died without a struggle. The body, after having hung the usual period, was cut down and delivered to the surgeons for dissection. EXECUTION OF REILLY FOR MURDER.— Pursuant to hi? sentence, Thomas Reilly, tlie man who was condemned on Mon- day last for the wilful murder of his wife, Catherine Reilly, was executed, in front of Newgate, on Wednesday morning. Pre- cisely at eight o'clock the culprit was removed from the cell, and surrendered himself calmly into the hands of the officer, who, having pinioned his wrists and elbows, led him through the nar- row passages of the prison to the scaffold. Mr. Baker assisted him up, as his frame began to tottpr, but he immediately reco- vered his fortitude, and took his station on the platform with, surprising firmness. When the cap was drawn over his eyes, the unhappy man again prayed aloud, and continued to do so till the. drop fell. For some seconds he was observed to struggle, and it was apparent to all that life was not extinct; however, by the aid of the executioner, who clung to his legs, his misery was of short duration. During Tuesday the culprit wrote a letter, which he addressed to the lady of Mr. Sheriff Pirie, wherein he declared that he was totally unconscious of what he did on the night in question, and admitting that, owing to the irritability of his tem- per, which was increased by the liquor he had taken, and his feelings being worked upon by the tauntings of his wife, he might have committed the dreadful act, but he declared, as he hoped to be forgiven by the Almighty, that he was not aware of ® what he was doing. At nine o'clock the body was cut downr and removed in a cart to be dissected pursuant to his sentence. On Saturday morning, about one o'clock, as Cornelius Draper, a tailor, of No. 13, Orange- street, Red Lion- square, was re- turning from Chelsea in a glorious state of intoxication, he had unfortunately to pass Cheyne Walk, close to the river ; here he tacked to the left and right, when unluckily standing too long upon his starboard tack, he pitched head- foremost off the bank. It was nearly low water at the time, and he fell a height of about ten feet into the mud, where he rolled about for some time, until a policeman heard a moaning noise in the mud ; he went! to the spot, and, in order to render the unfortunate tailor as- sistance, he jumped down, little thinking that the mud was nearly six feet deep. The policeman finding himself unexpectedly up to his neck, shouted for assistance, when several policemen came up, and both parties were hauled out of the mud by ropes. The tailor was in a most deplorable condition, and nearly exhausted 5 he was conveyed to the station- house and scoured, and some brandy was given him, when he vomited a large quantity of Thames mud, whieh he had swallowed. He was afterwards car, 1 ried to the White Horse and put to bed. The surgeon said that if he had been half a minute longer in the mud, he must have been suffocated.

John Phillips, M. A., to the Vicarage of Ninfield, Sussex. The Rev. Francis Robert Raines has been instituted by the Bishop of Chester to the Perpetual Curacy of Milnrow, Lan- cashire, vacant by the death of the Rev. W. Hodson. Patron— the Rev. R. W. Hay, as vicar of Rochdale. His Maj'esty's Chaplains in ordinary appointed to preach be- fore the King and Queen during the present month, at the Chapel Royal, St. James's, are the Right Hon. and Rev. Lord Augustus Eitzclarence, the Hon. and Rev. Henry Leslie, the Hon. and Rev. William Capel, and the Rev. A. P. Perceval. His Majesty's Chaplains in Ordinary at St. James's amount to fifty, who take the duty at the Chapel Royal in rotation. . The Rev. Jeremiah Smith, M. A., has been presented to the Prebendal Stall, in Lichfield Cathedral, vacant by the death of the Rev. William Walker. ROYAL AND FASHIONABLE MOVEMENTS. His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, as Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, gave a grand entertainment on Wednesday to the Noblemen and Gentlemen composing the De- putation with the Address to the King, on the recent attack on his Majesty's person. Covers were laid for tliirty- six. The Duchess of Bedford will give a dejeune at Camden- liill, on the 19th inst. The Duke of Cambridge is expected home in the autumn to take up his future abode in his own country. The Duchess of Hamilton gave a brilliant ball and supper on Wednesday evening, in Portman- square, to two hundred persons of the first distinction. ALMACK'S.— The ball on Wednesday night was of a very bril- liant description ; nearly five hundred persons of rank and dis- tinction were present. A new set of quadrilles were introduced for the, first time, called, " La Chiara di Rosenburg," and were the decided favourites of the evening. Prince Achilles Murathas arrived in London, for the purpose of seeing his wife embark for America. The Prince, who is a colonel in the Belgian service, will return to Brussels as soon as his lady shall have embarked for America. The Marquis of Hertford will give a grand fete at his villa, Regent's- park, to- morrow. Sir Walter Scott, accompanied by his eldest daughter, Mrs. Lockhart, Miss Scott, and Mr. J. G. Lockhart, left the St. James's Hotel, Jermyn- street, and embarked on board the James Watt, steam- vessel, on Saturday evening, for Leith ; from thence the worthyBaronet was to be conveyed to his own delightful place at Abbotsford. Very little change has taken place in his health ; but having manifested great anxiety to return to Scotland, Sir Henry Halford and Dr. Holland, we understand, acceded to his wish. Major Scott, the eldest son, is gone to his regiment at Manchester, and the youngest son to his duties in the Foreign Office. Ever since the arrival of Sir Walter from Italy, Mrs. Lockhart lias been a severe and anxious attendant upon her be- loved father. The worthy Baronet was safely landed at the pier, at Newhaven, on Monday evening, after a fine passage of forty- six hours, and immediately proceeded to Edinburgh. DEATH OF THE PRINCESS LOUISE.— The long protracted sufferings of this young Lady have at length terminated. Her Royal Highness departed this life at Windsor Castle, on Wednes- day morning, at six o'clock. Expresses were immediately dis- patched to the different members of the royal family, to com- municate this long- expected event. A report prevailed on Friday that the Leveret had seen Don Pedro's expedition off the Rock of Lisbon, but which was ne- cessarily unfounded, as the date of that vessel's departure from the Tagus was the 30th ult., and on Thursday intelligence from Lisbon, dated the 3rd inst., had reached town which brought no confirmation of the report. We have, however, the satisfaction of stating, that letters brought by the Leveret hold out a confi- dent antfeipation of the speedy triumph of the Constitutional cause. In spite of all the vigilance and rigour of Don Miguel's satellites, means have been found to make known to the people the approach of the expedition, and to prepare them for its re- reception. A number of papers, in the form of handbills, have been circulated among the troops and the inhabitants of Lisbon. They appear to be intended for different classes, and are sent forth under signatures suited to their respective des- tinations, as " Hum Fidalgo," " Hum Veterano," " Hum Ecclesiastico," " Hum Religioso," & c. They expose the false- hoods of Don Miguel's Gazettes, vindicate the cause of Donna Maria, and are well calculated to produce the desired impression on the public mind. The soldiers are informed that the Duke of Braganza comes to restore the usurped Crown to his daughter, that the sacred Quinas, against which no true Portuguese will fire shot, wave over the masts of his ships ; and care is taken to assure them that Lord Grey is still minister of England, and that no power remains in the hands of the Duke of Wellington. In one paper a friar expresses his deep regret at having contri- buted to deceive the people by preaching sermons in support of Don Miguel's legitimacy, and hopes to obtain pardon through a sincere repentance. It has been reported in some letters from Lisbon, that Don Miguel was making preparation for his escape to America, and the fact is stated in the secret bulletins circu- lated in Lisbon. We are sorry to have to announce that, in consequence of the state of Ireland, a prompt addition to its military force has been deemed necessary, and the following regiments are now under orders for that distracted country :— the 14th, the 85th, the 90th, and the 91st. This last regiment commenced its march on Wed- nesday for Manchester to embark at Liverpool. The 80th regi- ment has been recently sent to Ireland, and a battalion of the Guards is now on its march to supply tlie place of the battalion which has just returned from Dublin.— Courier. In consequence of the alarming prevalence of the cholera in York, the assizes, which were to have been held at the end of the week, have been postponed. A notice to that effect appeared in Tuesday night's Gazette. Accounts, we regret to say, have been received at the North and South American Coffee- house from Quebec, dated the lltli of June, stating that the cholera had broken out at Quebec and Montreal with much virulence. On the evening of the 10th, eighty cases had occurred, of which upwards of sixty proved fatal. The disease was supposed to have been taken out by a vessel from Ireland, called the James Carriers, which conveyed a number of emigrants. Unripe fruit should at this season of the year be, carefully avoided, and as a substitute and a refresher we cordially recom- mend to our friends ( the junior branches in particular), a wine from Lisbon fruit. If perfection was ever attained in wines it is at the present moment, and that by an old standard, Mr. Taylor, opposite Fumival's Inn, Holborn ; there the most fasti- dious may satisfy themselves of its great superiority over every Other description of British Wines. One of Mr. Watson Taylor's attorneys, a gentleman whose practice had been worth from four to five thousand pounds a- year, • unfortunately became security for him to the amount of 75,000?. Immediately upon Mr. Watson Taylor's leaving the country he was called upon for the amount; unable to pay it, executions were put into his house— ruin stared him in the face— his brain became disordered, and he is now, we are informed, in St. Luke's, leaving a wife and nine or ten amiable children " to the mercy of a rude world." Such is one of the sad consequences of Mr. Watson Taylor's failure.— Devizes Gazette. PRODIGIOUS !— An American, expatiating on the merits of a certain " severe colt" belonging to that " ' cute Yankee, Uncle Ben," relates as a proof of the animal's agility, that it was once chased several times round the circuit of a meadow by a flash of lightning, and that the lightning could not " come within a rod of the colt."— Athenaum.

CRICKET.— On Thursday last the return match between the Kingsland and Camden Town Clubs, for 25 sovereigns a- side, came off on the Kingsland Cricket Ground, at the back of the Lamb tavern, Kingsland- road, which, after a spirited contest of eight hours, terminated in favour of the latter by one run, with six wickets to go down. Kingsland first innings 100, second 44— 144. Camden Town, first innings 66, second 79— 145. The players then retired to the Lamb tavern, where an elegant supper was served up which met with a " warm reception," In the course of the evening the Kingsland club offered to make a new match for 50 sovereigns a- side, which was declined on the part of the Camden Town. IMPORTANT TO ACTORS AT MINOR THEATRES.— On Satur day, at the Court of Requests, Leicester- square, Mr. Davenport, proprietor of the Westminster Theatre, was summoned by Mr Symondson, for the amount of his salary for performing at hi- s theatre. Mr. Davenport contended, that the Commissioners had no jurisdiction in the case, as his theatre was not licensed, being merely a subscription theatre. After some argument on the point, the Commissioners decided that the complainant had no legal claim for his salary, as he was acting in an unlicensed theatre. This decision affects all the actors and actresses at the minor theatres, not duly licensed. THEATRICAL DOINGS IN THE COUNTRY.— Last week the theatre at Hythe, in Kent, opened for the season under the management of Mr. Robberds, previous to which he waited on the Mayor of Hythe to request his permission for the company to perform; but that functionary, being of a very religious turn of mind, and an avowed enemy to stage plays, peremptorily re- fused his sanction. The manager pointed out the great loss both he and his company would sustain, he having taken the house for the season, and stating that he had engaged some of the first theatrical talent from the metropolis to perform, including Liston, Miss Phillips, from Drury- lane, Messrs. Paulo and Ellar, the pantomimists, and other London stars. The Mayor, how- ever, was inexorable, and refused to sanction such abominations as stage plays. Mr. Robberds, finding it in vain to ask the Mayor's permission, determined to open the house as a sub- cription theatre, and, instead of taking money at the doors in the customary way, the inhabitants and visitors at Hythe pur- chased their tickets at an adjoining house appointed for the purpose. On the first night of the opening of the subscription theatre, Miss Phillips, from Drury- lane, made her appearance, and a highly respectable audience were delighted with her per- formance. On the following day Mr. Robberds was served with a summons to answer an information laid against him, before the Mayor, for performing without a license. A man who had pur- chased a ticket, and witnessed the performance, proved the case. The manager contended that it was a subscription theatre, and that no money was taken at the doors. The plea of not having taken money at the doors was over- ruled, and it was deemed quite sufficient that a ticket had been purchased; and the ma- nager was find in the penalty of 50?. The manager remarked that he thought the proceedings very arbitrary. The Mayor in- dignantly aslced him how he dared to dictate to him what was his duty. A week was then given to the manager to pay the penalty. The manager, in this dilemma, consulted with his company, and they determined to keep the house open. At the next per- formance the house was well attended; but, just as the curtain was about to rise, the constables entered the theatre with a dis- tress warrant for the 50?. penalty, and carried off all the scenery, dresses, and decorations, and deposited them in the Town- hall. Nothing seems to be positively settled yet as to the period for dissolving the Parliament; but Ministers declare that they have no intention of causing the present Parliament to re- assemble after the prorogation. Yesterday, after Mr. Follett, counsel for Mr. Newton, had addressed the Court, the Jury retired, and after an absence of forty minutes returned into Court with the following verdict: " We find that Rosa Matilda Maria Bagster, otherwise Rosa Ma- tilda Maria Newton, is of unsound mind—( A slight appearance of dissatisfaction in Court)— so as not to have sufficient govern- ment over herself or her property. LATEST NEWS FROM IRELAND.— An anti- tithe meeting, at which 200,000 persons were present, representing the counties of Waterford, Carlow, Kilkenny, and Tipperary, took place at Bal- lyhall on Sunday last; Col. Pierce Butter," Deputy Lieutenant, THE TITHE TRIALS.— Six of the men charged with illegally assembling for the purpose of obstructing the payment of tithes, and violating the law, by collecting in large numbers and erect- ing mounds, & c., at Dunlavin, have been tried under an indict- ment at common law at the assizes of Wicklow, and convicted. Thirty- six others who were arraigned for the same offence pleaded guilty. The judgment of the Court has not yet been pronounced, in the chair. Further arrests have taken place, but the spirit of insubordination appears to have increased with the vigour of the government. The latest Dutch and French papers, arrived yesterday, contain no news of importance. The following is from the Atlas of yesterday :—" We have learned, from a gentleman just returned from Holland, that it is the intention of the Dutch King to take the question of the Netherlands into his own keeping ; and that he is resolved to make war upon Belgium, beginning his opera- tions on the 15th instant ( this day)." The latest accounts from tbe squadron of Don Pedro stated that, if nothing unfavourable occurred, the troops would land about fifty or sixty miles from Lisbon. We cannot well expect news of the landing before the 18th inst. ( Extract of a letter from a correspondent in Lancashire.) " This, the northern division of our county, will be represented by Wilson Patten, whose assiduity and attention, as well as the ability he displayed in conducting the business of the county in the parliament before last, has made him friends amongst all parties. The Irish Secretary, Stanley, is our other one. We trust these two may come in— they both have character, respectability, and property, and therefore will not advocate wild schemes, or intentionally injure the country for the sake of gain. For the southern division I do not know who will stand; Lord Molineux talks of doing so, I hope Lord Stanley will not retire, as he is a good Member. For Preston it is not yet known who stands, except Hunt. At Lancaster the two old Members— Greene and Stewart will be returned. Liverpool will also have Lord Sandon and Ewart. Salford will most probably return Garnett; and Manchester is yet uncertain. In Blackburn, Fielden and Hindle will be returned. In Bury, the Derby family could return the Member ; but they do not offer any one this time." From the LONDON GAZETTE of Tuesday and Friday last. [ The Gazette contains an order for tbe Court going into mourning for her Serene Highness the Princess Louise, niece to her Majesty; the mourning to continue from the 15th inst. to the 5tli of August. The Gazette also notifies, that his Majesty's Levee next week will be held on Tuesday, instead of Wednesday; and announces that the honour of knighthood has been conferred on Captain John Marshall, of the Royal Navy, and upon Major- General John Hanbury, late of the Grenadier Guards. The Summer Assizes, intended to be holden at the Castle of York, on Saturday, the 14th of July instant, are postponed. WAR- OFFICE, JULY 13th, 1832.— 1st Regiment of Dragoon Guards.— Cornet H.

Wednesday, a man of the name of Thomas Whitfield was taken to the station house, Little Vine street, Piccadilly, 011 the charge of having caused the death of a woman named Catherine Knight, with whom he cohabited. It appears that the man, who is a breeches maker by trade, lived at No. 1, Little Vine- street, and that thev had both been in a beastly state of intoxication during the last" week. On Saturday night they had a quarrel, when she received some severe ill- usage from him. On Sunday night the quarrel was repeated, since which time the deceased had been in a lingering state, and continued constantly to decline until Tuesday, when she died. On examining the body, it exhibited a dreadful appearance, there being a variety of bruises upon different parts of it. Acton.
