CURE OF CHOLERA MORBUS. TO MR. MORISON AND THE MEMBERS OF THE COLLEGE OF HEALTH. Gentlemen,— I have the pleasure to inform' you that the Halcyon ar- rived at Cromarty, from Riga, on the 26th ult. all well. • She is bound to Glasgow; but, according to the restrictions on the Baltic ships, has to perform quarantine at Cromarty. The mate's wife received a letter from her husband, who states that " when at Riga he caught the infection, then raging at its highest; ships laying on alt sides, losing daily part of their crew -," but observes that, " by my ( the writer, Mr. Gardner, who is part owner of the Halcyon,) plentifully supplping the vessel at Sun- derland, before sailing, with the Universal Medicines of the British College of Health, he resorted to the means, in strong doses, which had the desired cfl'ect of removing the complaint, and bringing him to a per- fect state of health, and also kept them all clear of the infection after- wards." Surely this ought to induce all commanders of vessels to take them to sea every voyage, not only as a certain preventive to all diseases, but a sure investment to trade, the medicine being now in high request - I am, Gentlemen, your humble servant ARMY CONTRACTS.

TO MR. MORISON. Sir,— I return you my most grateful thanks for the wonderful cure performed on me in that dreadful complaint, the cholera morbus, with which I have been attacked in a very serious manner, anil which must have proved fatal to me had it not been for the prompt use of ' Morison's Vegetable Universal Medicines,' under the direction of your agent, Mr. TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF PRESTON. GENTLEMEN, AS the retirement of Mr. Wood from the representation of this borough will, cause a vacancy at the ensuing Election, I take the liberty of offering myself to your notice. The selection of Representatives is a most important act, and in so- liciting your votes, I feel it is a duty I owe both to you and myself, that the principles I am actuated by, and the course of policy I advocate, should be first submitted to your consideration, and, I trust, approval. My opinions are founded in honesty and sincerity ; and I am anxious to state them, as it is on principle alone that I presume to solicit your support. Several important alterations must of necessity be made by the new Parliament. Amongst the questions to be considered, the Corn Laws will probably attract early attention. Were these laws revised, and a fixed, but moderate, duty imposed, in place of the present plan of averages, prices would. be more equal, and the country would be mate- rially benefitted by the change. As ofriend to the real interests of re- ligion, I should wish to see the Tithe system altered. Monopolies and Slavery 1 altogether disapprove of. I look upon the Indian question as one of thc most momentous which will shortly come under the consider- ation of the Legislature, and will advocate those measures, which, by giving increased freedom and facility of intercourse, may be most bene- ficial to this country; guarding at the same time against all risk of severing India from the Empire. Viewing our Colonies as an integral portion of the British Empire, and as of immense value to the trade of the Mother Country, all measures promoting their mutual benefit, and extending their intercourse, shall have my support. Taxes should be drawn from sources of real and tangible property, and removed as much as possible from pressing upon the industry of the country, and a care- ful watch kept over the public expenditure. Being desirous of pre- venting all misunderstanding, I have stated my sentiments on many leading questions more fully than I otherwise should have done. Sincerely attached to the institutions of my country, and unconnected with any political party, I am desirous of renovating those parts of our Constitution which the hand of time 01- corruption has impaired, and of carrying into effect such improvements as may diffuse happiness and prosperity amongst every class. To promote the true welfare of my country at large, and more particularly that. of each individual connected with this town, my honest exertions shall be given; and should you elect me to the honour of a seat in Parliament, I will endeavour that the efficiency of my exertions may be equal to the sincerity of my inten- tions. As soon as the registry is completed, I will do myself the honour of waiting personally on each individual, and, I am, Gentlemen, your very faithful servant, .... Rossall Hall, July 13, 1832. ' P.

CURE OF PILES, RHEUMATISM, AND COMPLICATION OF COMPLAINTS. TO JAMES MORISON, ESQ. Sir,— Gratitude to God, as the giver of all good, and to you as an in- strument in his hand, has induced me to give this public testimony of the good effects of your ' Universal Vegetable Medicines,' in a compli- cation of complaints under which I had long suffered. I have been sub- ject to that painful disorder the piles for between twenty and thirty years, the rheumatism in my limbs for nearly the same period ; I was also troubled with a bilious complaint and inclination to asthma; sub- ject to bleedings at the nose from my childhood. To remove these com- plicated and painful . disorders, I tried various remedies, but found no lasting benefit from any of thein. At the time I providentially met with your medicines life was almost a burden to me. I commenced with the ifiedicinos, taking from three to five of No. 1 pills for a fortnight; I then increased the dose to twelve of No. 1 at night, from six to eight of No. 2 in the morning. The first effect was to produce sound sleep, without pain, to which I had been a stranger for the last ten years. After the first fortnight my appetite returned, so that I could enjoy my food in a manner I had not done for years before ; I also found my strength re- turn while under the operation of thc medicine, fully proving the truth of your assertion, that the Universal Medicine takes weakness out of the frame, contrary to the effects of any other medicine that I ever heard of. I have enjoyed a good state of health for some months. I always in- tended to publish my case if I obtained a cure, but I was not in a hurry to do it. I have had no return of my complaints, and am now in the full enjoyment of health. At the request of Mr. Charlwood, your agent for the county, I have commenced to sell the medicine to my fellow- sufferers, which I do now with pleasure. I have also witnessed its good effects in my own family aud many others, from children to persons upwards of eighty years of age. Of the truth of the above particulars, I can give satisfactory proof to any person that may please to call 011 me, as well as other interesting information of the effects of the Universal Medicine. With gratitude, I subscribe myself your devoted advocate, Oct, 16,1831. WILLIAM FARROW, • Straw- hat- manufacturer, Magdalen- street, Norwich.

( From Fraser's Magazine, June, 1832.) ' 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 of' 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, ana 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. " AVe 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 tlieni to become subscribers to i{. " We will now turn to the pages of this periodical. A part of the work, it is true, contains matter interesting alone to tlie fair sex; but the general reading matter is highly amusing, and oftentimes very in- structive. The reviews are marked by sound discrimination and unbiassed judgment, so that to be praised in the Improved Series of the Lady's Magazine, argues no little merit; and the manner in which it is got up reflects no small praise upon Mr. rage, the publisher, by whose permis- sion we see the beautiful Fashions are exclusively used for the ' FoIIet, Courrier des Salons' and the ' Lady's Magazine ;' thereby possessing the double value of originality, that they are such as no other work can imitate, and really 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 will say is published by Mr. Page, at No. 112, Fetter- lane, had not this been the 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 upon 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, Courrier des Salons :— " We, the undersigned, jointly concerned with James Page, publisher, & c. 111 London, in England, in quality of proprietors of the right 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 which 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 in England, in a work named Le Follet, Courrier des Salons.

Lord B , who in cock- fighting took great delig t, Once offered this wager to lay :— That when put down together the cocks should not fight, But run from each other away ; For that he a greater attraction would bring Than they to each other would prove, A cliarm so alluring, that round the wide ring They should follow where'er he should move. The wager accepted, the cocks trimm'd and grae'd, ( What a concourse encircled the ground!) And they were no sooner upon the turf placed, Than each cock turn'd suddenly round. They viewed not each other, but made a short stand, Then swift at liis Lordship they flew: ( His boots were by Warren's jet Blacking japann'd, And surprisingly shone to the view). The secret was out; but the wager was won, For the image of each was. display'd, In the high polish'd boots that so brilliantly shone,' And each cock attack'd his own shade. Then shouts of applause eclio'd loud from tlie throng, To his Lordship's sagacity due ; But if praise to his Lordship's invention belong, Warren! what must be given to you ? For without your jet Blacking his boots had not shone, Nor have had such a lustre to boast, The humour had failed, he the bet had not won, And the sport of the day had been lost. Each Nobleman present then quickly declared Warren's Blacking alone lie would use, And each one to Warren as quickly repaired, To buy his japan for their shoes.

NEW PUBLICA TIONS. HISTORY OF CHARLEMAGNE. BY G. P. R. JAMES, ESFT. This is the first volume of a history of France, to be conveye4 in a series of lives of her great men. It is elegant and interest- ing, with some slight faults of style, partly from negligence, partly from ambition. The author has a tendency to the gor- geous manner of Gibbon, but withont the sententious philoso- phy which charms even when it does not convince the reader of that immortal historian. The defect, as it strikes us, upon a cursory - view of the work of Mr. James, is, that he does not write in a. spirit sufficiently searching and severe, and that he treats Charlemagne too much as the hero of an historical romance. For instance, he slurs over the destruction of the Saxon tem~ pies, and massacre of the Saxon priests, because they worshipped Arminius or Ares ; the massacre again of 4,500 Saxon prisoners, because they were guiltless of the infamous treason of delivering up their vanquished chief, the famous Witikend— the conversion of the Saxons by the sword, and the atrocious policy of em- ploying spy- assassins to dispatch relapsed idolaters with the poignard. Charlemagne had redeeming virtues and a tran-"' scendant genius, with remorseless cruelty, and grovelling super- stition— the vices and weaknesses, in short, of a barbarian. Mr. James adopts too implicitly the tone of the Church writers, and the authentic but flattering memoirs of Eginhart. His work, however, is, we admit and repeat, one of great elegance, interest, and research. The volume contains some curious representa- tions of Charlemagne, from illuminations and seals. We extract, the following account of the famous defeat of Roncesvalles :— " The Pyrenees, extending in a continuous line from the Bay of Biscay to the borders of the Mediterranean, rise in a long straight ridge, the superior points of which are but a few yards lower than the summit of Mont Blanc. In the highest part of the chain there are occasional apertures, and from the main body of the mountains, long masses of inferior hills are projected into the plain country on either side, decreasing in height as. they proceed, till they become imperceptibly blended with the level ground around. Between these steep natural buttresses,. narrow valleys, sometimes spreading out into grand basins, some- times straitened into defiles of a few yards in width, wind on to- wards the only passes from one country to another. The roads, skirting along the bases of the hills, which, to the present day, are frequently involved in immense and trackless woods, have always beneath them a mountain torrent, above which they are raised, as on a terrace, upon the top of high and rugged preci- pices. A thousand difficulties beset the way on every side, and, nature has surrounded the path with every means of ambush and concealment. " Mounted on heavy horses, and loaded with a complete ar- mour of - iron, the soldiers of Charlemagne returned from their victorious expedition into Spain, and entered the gorges of the Pyrenees, without ever'dreaming that an enemy beset their'foot- steps. " The monarch himself, with the first division of his host, was suffej- ed to pas£* unmolested ; but when the second body of the Francs, following leisurely at a considerable distance, had entered the wild and narrow valley called the Roseida Vallis, ( now Roncesvalles,) the woods and mountains around them sud- denly bristled into life, and they were attacked on all sides by' the perfidious Gascons, whose light arms, distant arrows, and knowledge of the country, gave them every advantage over their opponents. " In tumult and confusion, the Francs were driven down into the bottom of the pass, embarrassed both by their arms and bag- gage. The Gascons pressed them on every point, and slaughtered them like a herd of deer, singling them out with their arrows from above, and rolling down the rocks upon their heads. Never wanting in courage, the Francs fought to the last man, and died unconquered. Rolando and his companions, after a thousand deeds of valour, were slain with the rest; and the Gas- cons, satiated with carnage, and rich in plunder, dispersed amongst the mountains, leaving Charlemagne to seek for imme- diate vengeance in vain. " The battle must have been fierce and long, and the struggle great, though unequal; for, during the lapse of many centuries, tradition has hung about the spot, and the memory of Rolando and his companions is consecrated in a thousand shapes through- out the country. Part of his armour has there given name to a flower ; the stroke of his sword is shewn upon the mountains ; the tales and superstitions of the district are replete with his exploits and with his fame ; and even had not Ariosto, on the slight basis which history affords, raised up the splendid struc- ture of an immortal poem, and dedicated it to the name of Ro- lando, that name would still have been repeated through all the valleys of the Pyrenees, and ornamented with all the fictions of a thousand years." Mr. James describes as follows the first entry of Charlemagne into Rome :— " In the meantime Charlemagne set out from Pavia, accompa- nied by a considerable army, and an immense train of bishops, priests, and nobles ; and passing through Tuscany, he advanced by rapid journeys upon Rome. Shouts and songs of triumph greeted him on the way ; towns, castles, and villages, poured forth to see him pass ; the serf, the citizen, and the noble, joined in acclamations which welcomed the conqueror of the Lombards ; and dead Italy seemed to revive at the glorious aspect of the vic- tor. Thirty miles from the city he was met by all those who - could still boast of generous blood in Rome, with ensigns and banners ; and at a mile's distance from the walls, the whole schools came forth to receive him, bearing in their hands branches of the palm and the olive, and singing, in the sweet Roman tongue, the praises and gratulations of their mighty de- liverer. Thither, too, came the standard of the cross, with which it had been customary to meet the Exarchs on their visits to the city ; and truly, since the days of her ancient splendour, never had Rome beheld such a sight as entered her gates with the monarch of the Francs. " It was now no savage army come to ravage and to spoil, with hunger and hatred in their looks, and foulness and barba- rism in their garments. On the contrary, a long train of the princes and nobles of a warlike and beautiful nation, mingling, in the brilliant robes of peace, with all the great of a people they had delivered, entered the gates of Rome, and, amidst songs of victory and shouts of joy, were led forward, through all the splendid remains of ancient art, the accumulated magnificence of centuries of power and conquest, by a monarch such as the world has seen but once. " Above the ordinary height of man, Charlemagne was a giant in his stature as in his mind ; but the graceful and easy propor- tion of all his limbs spoke the combination of wonderful activity with immense strength, and pleased while it astonished. His countenance was as striking as his figure ; and his broad high forehead, his keen and flashing eye, and bland unwrinkled brow, offered a bright picture, wherein the spirit of physiognomy, na- tural to all men, might trace the expression of a powerful intel- lect and a benevolent heart. " On so solemn an occasion as his entry into Rome, the gene 3 3 4 TIIE TOWI July 22. ral simplicity of his attire was laid aside ; and he now appeared blazing in all the splendour of royalty, his robes wrought of purple and gold, his brow encircjed with jewels, and his very sandals glittering with precious stones. " As he approached the church of St. Peter, and was met by the Exarch's cross, the monarch alighted from his horse, and, • with his principal followers, proceeded on foot to the steps of the cathedral. The marks of his reverence for the shrine of the apostle were such as a sovereign might well pay, whose actions and whose power left no fear of respect being construed into submission. In the porch, near the door, he was met by Pope Adrian, attended by all his clergy, clothed in the magnificent vestments of the Roman church; and while loud shouts rent the air, of ' Blessed be he who cometh in the name of the Lord!' the pontiff held his deliverer to his heart, poured forth his gra- titude, and loaded him with blessings." FIFTEEN MONTHS' PILGRIMAGE THROUGH UNTRODDEN TRACTS OF KHUZISTAN AND PERSIA. BY J. H. STOCFTUELER, ESQ. Tins is a very unpretending account of the adventures and " hair- breadth scapes by flood and field" which befel the author, • who, in a journey from India to England, commenced in Fe- bruary, 1831, was forced by circumstances to vary from his ori- ginal plan of pursuing the beaten road, and was thrown into parts of Khuzistan and Iran, which he found had never been trodden by Europeans. Amongst other evils that awaited him in his excursion was that of being compelled to play the medecin, rnalgri lui, of which he gives the following account:— " My situation was now extremely critical and distressing. I had been twice obstructed in my journey ; my means were frit- tering away, and the different roads to Europe known to English travellers were closed against me. In this dilemma I consulted my Greek acquaintance. Nicolas, or Saheb Khan Nicolas, ( for so he styled himself, by virtue of a firman from Futteh Ali Shah,) was a native of Corfu, acknowledging an English sire and a Greek mother. He had passed his earliest youth in nautical pursuits in the Archipelago ; subsequently got a commission in a Sicilian regiment, when Lord William Bentinck was in Sicily; had vi- sited England as a dealer in Grecian antiquities, ( a Lord Elgin on a small scale;) then entered the Persian army, as an officer acquainted with European tactics, and finished by joining the Bactiarian mountaineers and becoming a leader of hordes. For good services rendered the Prince of Oologerte Berugia, Nicolas was named governor of Shuster ; hut political convulsions had unseated my friend, and he was obliged to seek the countenance of the sheikh of the Chabeans. This man, compassionating my situation, and delighting in serving a native of a country which held, as he expressed it, so many ' dashing girls,' * advised me to seize the opportunity which the campaign against the Zobeirs offered for the useful exercise of my medical acquirements, and to place my services at the disposal of Sheikh Samur. The ex- periment appeared a bold one to a man utterly unacquainted with the mysteries of surgery, but it seemed to offer the only means of acquiring the sheikh's assistance in getting through the Chab territory into Persia. I accordingly waited on the sheikh; enumerated my powers as a hakeem ; exhibited my medicine chest, ( which had been well filled at Bussorah,) and explained the virtues of calomel, laudanum, rhubarb, and other medica- ments. The sheikh ordered me to he well entertained, gave me a tolerably decent asylum near his palace, and twice visited me. " It is needless to tire the reader with a detail of the vile ex- periments I made on the bodies of the wounded Chabeans ; how many balls I extracted, how many wounds patched or plastered, and how many stomachs I filled with nauseous nostrums. Suffice it to say, I endeavoured to avoid the destruction of human life, even if I did not succeed in affording its miseries relief. The sheikh was well pleased with my zeal, and more so with a box of ointment which I laid at his feet as a certain remedy for the im- paired vision of his left eye. He had been stone blind from his childhood, hut he held it disrespectful to he told so. " I passed seven days in quackery, and then waited on the sheikh at one of his afternoon levies, and acquainted him with my wish to proceed to Bebuhan through the Chab territory. He promised me safe escort to Fellahi, the head quarters of the Chabeans ; and a letter of introduction to his brother, Mobader Khan, the Prince of Chab. The following morning I prepared to depart; and, as soon as the ceremony of a mutton breakfast ( for it was the feast of the Bairam) had been despatched, em- barked in a small boat, with a guide, the promised letter, arms, a carpet, and a small bag of clothes." His next misfortune was like that of the good Samaritan— he fell amongst robbers— which he thus describes :— " Four pharsaghs north east of Semiroon, however, in a dis- trict where the people only acknowledge fealty to the Schah, we experienced one of those ' disastrous chances' which render tra- vellers very interesting personages in books and by family fire- sides, hut which in actual experience are any thing but agree- able. In short we were attacked and robbed.— I can never for- get the whole scene ; it was romantic and picturesque in the ex- treme, and I only wanted the portfolio of the gentleman in ' the Brigand,' and a little of his presence of mind, to sketch the Mas- saroni who, with his crew, drew so largely on our courage, acti- vity, and pecuniary appliances. " We had left the woody portions of the mountains behind us, and had entered upon one of those extensive undulating wastes which distinguish the more level portions of Iran. The day was sultry and the ride tedious. We believed we had got fairly out of all chance of danger, and had ceased to observe that order of march, exhibiting a concentration of force, which had hitherto seemed best adapted to our security. We were straggling at short distances from one another, my servant in the van, and were just on the point of ascending a little eminence, when a horseman, splendidly attired, suddenly appeared on the summit, and discharging a pistol in the air, as a signal of attack, dashed down the hillock followed by several others. ' The shepherds fled for safety and for succour,'— sauve qui pent was the order of the day. In a few seconds, however, they rallied, and a sharp skirmish ensued, which ended in the whole of my party being discomfited, then driven together like so many sheep, their eyes bandaged, their hands tied behind them, and their persons rifled. Of my own share in the transaction it is unnecessary to say more than that, though I took as active a share in the distribu- tion of blows as my companions, no personal violence was offered to me on the part of the assailants, and I was merely robbed of every thing valuable I possessed. " As soon as the brigands had secured the victory and bound the ' true men,' they rode up to me while I was standing at a distance watching the progress of events, and discharging their pieces in the air, called out, ' Hakeem Saheb, bisheen,' ' Sir Doctor, sit down'— a kind of half- mandate— half- request— which I could not decline complying with. Besides I was rather fa- tigued. They then blindfolded me, drove the mules and horses up a hill, and taking with them one of the defeated party, ( a merchant who had joined my escort a few days previously, with a small caravan of merchandize,) they desired him to point out the ' Ingreze's' property : this he readily did ; upon which they proceeded to cut to pieces my khoordjs, or travelling bags, and ' to empty them of the money, silk handkerchiefs, knives, razors, spoons, blankets, and other useful little articles they contained. " They finished by thrashing Hajee Moolla Mahomed Shuffa, the merchant, until the poor fellow could scarcely stand, by way of testifying their gratitude for his officious zeal, and then gal- loped off to narrate their exploits to their friends, and to divide the spoil." On pursuing his way home through Austria, he met at Linz with the Polish General Skrzynecki, with whom he had an in- terview, and heard from him an account of his escape from Warsaw, but which is too long to extract, at least at present; we may at some future moment return to it. This book, though not remarkable for originality of remark or grace of composi- tion, offers an amusing and unaffected sketch of what the author saw, and may serve more profitably than a fashionable novel to while away some listless hours in this sultry season. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. A new edition of the Landscape Illustrations of the prose and poetical works of Sir Walter Scott has just appeared, and at a diminution of price, which places these beautiful efforts of the burin of Finden within the reach of every lover of the fine arts, be he ever so moderately gifted with the goods of fortune. In this first livraison is a view of a room at Abbotsford, hung round with ancient armour, and containing the desk in which lay perdu for several years before its publication the MS. of " Waverley," till the author found it in his search after some lines and flies. To the landscapes comprised in the former edition are added, in the present one, portraits ( fancy ones of course) of the principal female characters of the novels and poems, accompanied by a short description. The portrait which adorns this first part is that of Rose Bradwardine, from the novel of " Waverley." It is from the pencil of C. R. Leslie, R. A., and represents a sweet and graceful maidenly countenance, with a dash of wild ness or stag- like shyness in it. This publication, from its at- tractions and smallness of price, must command success. Mr. J. Rennie, M. A., Professor of Zoology, King's College, London, seems to be one of the most active and indefatigable labourers in the wide domains of natural history. It was but a very little time ago that he favoured the world with an interest- ing work on insect architecture, and now, following quickly on the heels of it, he presents us with a closely printed and small typed volume, entitled A Conspectus of the Butterflies and Moths found in Britain, containing a variety of curious and minute information on the numerous tribes of these winged and many- coloured insects. —— NEW MUSIC. I SAW HER AT THE FANCY FAIR. WORDS BY E. SMITH, ESCL., COMPOSED BY BARNET. This is a sweet and flowing melody, simple in construction, and easy of execution. The words are pretty, and less fantas- tical than the usual rhapsodies indulged in ballad inditing. PRETTY ROSE, OR GENTLEMEN ALL 1 NOW I BEG YOU'LL OBSERVE. This is a comic song which, with it sprightly triplets, has been repeatedly sung with great effect by Mrs. Fitzwilliam. The French and other foreign papers contain no facts of im- portance, except the following:—" The Egyptian brig the Crocodile, which has just arrived at Toulon, brings intelligence of the fortress of St. Jean D'Acre having surrendered to the army of the Pacha of Egypt on the 24th of last month." The French Papers are chiefly occupied with remarks upon the Protocol of the German Diet. The opposition papers contend that the conduct of the Diet is an attack on the liberty of the world, and that France ought, as the champion of that liberty, to be prepared to repress it. MORALS AND MANNERS OF SOME OF THE GERMAN PRINCES. The present King of Bavaria formerly excited great hopes, but which have not been realized. He was very popular when Prince Royal, and saluted by the unanimous applause of his people when he came to the throne. These brilliant illusions, however, have passed away, and some parts of bis private conduct have given great offence. His Bavarian Majesty loves nature and women, and makes frequent journies to Italy, to visit tbe Pope and his mistresses, usually returning from these campaigns much fatigued. Meeting by chance with a beau- tiful English woman, who came to pass the winter at Munich, he became so captivated with her, that, forgetting ail sense of pro- priety, he wished to present her himself to the Queen. That Princess, however, knowing the history of the female alluded to, who, when the wife of a Noble Lord, carried on an adulterous in- tercourse with a young Prince, and was now ready to become the mistress of a King, refused to receive her. A scene followed which became a scandal at Court, and amongst the public, for the King, in the height of his amorous warmth, persisted in attempting to present Lady to the Queen, whilst the latter, actuated by just indignation, quitted the apartment, saying to him, " I was aware long since tbat you would deceive me as you have deceived your people." It appears, however, that this lesson went for nothing. Lady became the avowed mistress of the King, who went in the spring to do penance for his sins at Rome. Next in order comes the Prince Elector of Hesse, whose small empire does not reckon more than 500,000 inhabitants. For a long time the daughter of a watchmaker at Berlin, raised to the title of tbe Countess Reichenbach, has lived publicly with this prince, and has a numerous family by him. The Electresswas forced to receive her at Court with all possible distinction. Several times this unfortunate Princess took refuge in a foreign country be- longing to the family of the King of Prussia, but the influence of the Cabinet of Berlin succeeded in obliging her husband to take steps to induce her to return home, and she for some time lived at Cassel in good understanding with her rival. The events in France having produced a great agitation in Germany, this Prince became frightened, and purchasing considerable property at Frankfort for his dear Countess and her family, he retired thither himself, whilst public opinion openly pronounced against himself and his mistress. The people agreed with the Chamber of Representatives, in refusing their consent to a constitutional Prince abandoning his States, and residing in a foreign territory, and he was forced to return home. Not daring to occupy his magnificent palace at Cassel, he chose a small frontier town for his residence, which produced much aggra- vated discontent in the capital. Seeing that this state of things could not long continue, he handed the reins of Government to the hereditary Prince, intending to reside at Moutpellier, in France. Scarcely installed in his high functions, the Prince Regent, fol- lowing the example of his father, purchased the wife of a Prussian officer for 30,000 crowns, gave her the title of Baroness de Schaum- berg, and concluded with her a marriage Morganate, in which the female is a sort of privileged concubine. The Prince Regent endeavoured to compel his mother to receive the Baroness de Schaumberg at court, and in her box at the theatre, but the consequence was a tumult at Cassel, where the Electress is very much respected. In Saxony, the old King ( who, through bis friendship for Na- poleon, lost half his territories^ promenades the streets of his capi- tal every morning before daylight, repeating his prayers. The Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt passes much of his time in eating and drinking. The other little Sovereigns in Germany possess most of them such small states, that their existence is unknown to the rest of the world, unless some happy chance draws them forth from their pro- found obscurity. The Prince of Coburg would never have been known in Great Britaiu or elsewhere, but for his marriage with a Princess of England ; nor would the Prince of Hombourg, who reigns over a population of 20,000, and has an army of 200 men, have been distinguished but for his marriage with an English Princess.—( From Notes of a Recent Traveller.)— Courier. * Nicholas had lived during his stay in England in the Commercial- road, and was well acquainted with the purlieus of Whitechapel and Katcliffe- highway, and their fair inhabitants. The order by whieh the widows of officers of the navy could only hold pensions by their husbands having served ten years in active service has been rescinded, and ten full years on the list of commission or warrant officers will now entitle them to their pensions.— Portsmouth Herald. POPULATION OF PRUSSIA.— By the triennial census of the population of Prussia, made up to the close of 1831, it appears that since the year 1828, when the amount of the population was 12,726,110, there has been an increase by excess of births ( in 1829, 1830, and 1831,) of 241,699, and by immigration of 71,151, making together 312,850, and increasing the whole po- pulation to 13,038,960. There has been a considerable decrease in the increase of births, but an increase with regard to immi- gration. SKELETONS DISCOVERED IN WESTMORELAND.— As some workmen were lately employed in cutting drains in a field, the property of Mathew Ewbanke, Esq., of Rampson, on Stainmore, in Westmoreland, they found several human skeletons. They were about five feet below the surface. It is supposed that they have been imbedded in the peat moss there for upwards of 500 years, indeed ever since the year 1298, when Sir William Wal- lace was encamped near the place with the Scottish army on coming in sight of the English Forces of Edward the First.— Tyne Mercury. PROTOCOL OF THE GERMAN DIET. The following are the mOst important clauses of this extraordi- nary document, which is too long to give entire :— " With regard to the unexampled abuses sf the periodical poli- tical press, the Diet, convinced that it is its duty to employ all the power and means afforded by the federal constitution, for the main- tenance of the internal tranquillity to the Confederation, has al- ready, by its decision of tbe 10th of May of the present year ( § 154), drawn the attention of the Governments to the dangers which threaten the federal bodies, if the Governments do not fully execute the decisions of the Confederations in the affairs of the press. Moreover, the Diet appointed, on the 17 th of April, a com- mittee ( selected from its own body) to take into immediate con sideration the project contained in article 18 of the federal act, re- lating to uniform arrangmentson the subject of the press ; and from the intelligent zeal of that committee, it may be expected that its task will be executed in such a way, that without checking the ac- tivity of useful and estimable writers, and without seeking to im- pede the natural advancement of human knowledge, it will restrain within due bounds the intolerable license of an insolent press: labouring to shake and overthrow all existing institutions and to de- fame all that is most august and sacred. " The Courts of Austria and Prussia not only conceive them- selves obliged once more to declare their conviction, that until the period when all the Governments shall concur for that purpose in a constitutional decision, the provisional law of the 20th September, 1819, continues to be obligatory for all the Confederation, and for the interest of public tranquillity, its decisions might be conscien tiously maintained by all tbe Governments, and by the Confede- ration; but they also conceive it to be their duty to contribute with all their power, and in concert with their Confederates, ( to whose conformity of sentiment they attach so much importance, that they believe that they may confidently rely upon them in anticipation,) to enforce the execution of that lawfully and without exception. " If, after this, the Diet be enabled to maintain the rights of the Confederation against the attacks of the Chambers of the States, and against the abuse of tbe press— if it employ these rights in a suitable way, and if its resolutions be executed with vigour and energy,— if, in short, the combined efforts of the Princes should succeed in bringing under the deliberation of the Diet, arrangements of general utility and interesting to all Germany, to which the Courts of Austria and Prussia solemnly pledge themselves to contribute, by means of their legations at the Diet— it may be hoped that the measures of the Confederation ( which will operate efficaciously for the general good,) and its authority will be acknowledged and respected, and that public opinion, disavowing the erroneous and sophistical doctrines by which it is now misled, will return to the paths of truth, law, and good order. " But if this expectation should be disappointed; if Germany should be doomed not to see the revival of order and internal tran- quillity, and if the authority of the resolutions adopted by the Diet by virtue of the federal laws, for the maintenance of those greatest of all blessings, should incur the risk of being disavowed, then their Majesties tbe Emperor of Austria and King of Prussia, in their solicitude for the destiny of the States united in the Confederation which they do not separate from the care they bestow on their own justly appreciating the danger of seeing the whole social system of Europe shaken by anarchy, and faithfully fulfilling their duties to the Confederation, are firmly resolved to employ, at the invita- tion of one or all of the Confederate States, every means at their disposal for the maintenance and execution of the federal constitu- tion, its important objects, and the resolutions of the Diet, to which theydwive served, and will serve, as bases,— in short, to avert every - attack upon the Confederation and its members, from whatever quarter it may be directed, sb that the punctual and exact execu- tion of the resolutions of the Diet may be secured, with that degree of certainty which alone can guarantee the tranquillity of our common country." Next follows the formal accession to the propositions of Austria and Prussia by all the States, beginning with Bavaria, including the Kingdom of Hanover, and ending with the Hanse Towns. Some verbal amendments are suggested in the votes of Bavaria and Electoral Hesse ; but, in fact, the measures are carried unani- mously. The protocol concludes thus :— " All the Governments of the Confederation gratefully acknow- ledging the attention ( of which the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia have given new proofs) to the general welfare of Germany, have unanimously resolved as follows :— " 1. Considering tbat by article 57 of tbe final act, concluded at Vienna, all the powers of the state must remain united in the head of the state, and that the sovereign, by the constitution of the States, can be limited only in the exercise of certain rights by the co- operation of the States, every German sovereign, as member of the Confederation, is not only authorised to reject the petitions of the estate which may be of a contrary tendency, but liis duty to reject them flows from the object of the Confederation itself. " 2. As, farther, according to the spirit of the said 57th article, and the consequences comprehended in the 58th article, the estates cannot refuse to any German sovereign the means necessary to conduct the Government in a manner conformable to his obligations as a member of the Confederation, and those which are imposed on him by the constitution of his country, therefore, all cases in which Assemblies of States may attempt to make the granting of the taxes necessary for the Government, depend not directly or indirectly on the fulfilment of other objects or wishes, must be reckoned among the cases to which article 25 and 26 of the act of Vienna are appli- cable. ( Article 25.) The maintenance of internal tranquillity and order in the Confederated States belongs to the Government alone. Nevertheless, ( and as an exception) for the internal secu- rity of the whole confederation, and in consequence of the obligation of its members reciprocally to assist each other, the co- operation of all for the maintenance or restoration of tranquillity may take place in case of resistance of the subjects to the Government, of open in- surrection or dangerous movements in several of the Confederate States. ( Article 26.) When in any Confederate State, by the resist- ance of the inhabitants to the Government, internal tranquillity is directly threatened, and a propagation of seditious movements to be feared, or if an insurrection has actually broken out, and the Go- vernment itself, after having tried all legal means, claims the as- sistance of the Confederation, the latter is bound immediately to offer its assistance towards the restoration of o'der. If, in the latter case, the Government is notoriously unable to suppress the rebellion by its own means, and hindered from applying to the Confederation for assistance by circumstances, the Confederation is then bound, even though not applied to, to interfere for the re- establishment of order. In no case, however, can the measures in question be continued longer than tbe Government to which assist- ance is given shall think it necessary. " 3. The internal legislation of the German Confederate States must not be opposed to the object of the Confederation, as de- scribed in article 2 of the Act of Confederation, and article 1 of the penal aet, nor impede the fulfilment of the federal duties, particu- larly the levying of the necessary supplies. " 4. To secure the dignity and rights of the Confederation, and of the Assembly representing it, against demands of all kinds, and in order to facilitate in the several states the maintenance of the constitutional relations between the Government and these assem- blies of States, a committee shall be appointed by the Diet, ex- pressly for this purpose, to make itself constantly acquainted with the proceedings of the Estates in German Confederate States,— to take into consideration tbe proposals and resolutions, contrary to the obligation, with respect to the Confederation, or the rights of the Government guaranteed by the federal compact, and to give notice of such to the Diet, which will then, if it judges the matter deserving of attention, consult with the Governments interested. The committee shall be appointed for six years, at the encJ of which its continuance shall be taken into consideration. 5. As by article 59 of the final act of Vienna, in those coun- tries where the publicity of the debates of the Estates is guaranteed by the constitution, tbe free expression of opinion cannot be used either in tbe debates themselves, or in the publication of them by the press, in a manner calculated to endanger the public tranquil- lity of the particular state, or of all Germany, and tbat provisions must be made for this in the regulation of the Chambers,— the Government of the Confederation bind themselves severally and collectively to each other, to adopt and carry into effect, as they have hitherto been bound to do by their federal relations, proper measures to prevent all attacks on the Confederation in the Assem- blies of the Estates, and to repress such attacks, each according to the forms of its own constitution. " 6. As the Diet is already called by article 17 of the penal code to maintain the true meaning of the Act of the Confederation, and of the enactments contained in it, to declare it in conformity to the object of the Confederation, should any doubt arise respecting the interpretation of it, it is evident that the German Confedera- tion alone, and exclusively, is authorized to interpret the Act of Confederation, and the penal act, which right it exercises through the Diet, its legal organ. " With respect to the abuses of the periodical press, the Diet waits for the report of the committee appointed in its 14th sitting this year, for the introduction of uniform ordinances respecting the press, that it may take a final resolution ; and it confidently expects, from the zeal of the committee, that it will as speedily as possible complete its labours in the spirit of the above representa- tion." ( Here follow the signatures.) THE ST. SIMONIANS. [ We borrow the following lively sketch of the present state of the Saint Simonians from one of the letters of the clever corres- pondent of the Morning Chronicle.] Paris, July 14, 1832. SIR,— You know my opinion of the Saint Simonians! You know that I think they put the cart before the horse, and begin by associating men together without first adapting them for such asso- ciation. You know that their " Free Woman" would, in my opi- nion, be a great nuisance, and that their mode of destroying im- morality would be the sure means of promoting it. You know I have no great faith in " Apostles," or " Fathers" of a Church, whose " waistcoats" are admitted to be the best made in Europe— whose " cravats" take them at least a quarter of an hour to adjust and whose kitchen and cellar are celebrated amongst the gourmands of this capital, as being the most delicate, delicious, and varied. And yet I protest against the persecution of the Saint Simonians • If I were an Absolute Prince, and wished to exterminate a new sect, or prevent the progress of its doctrines, I would never set about persecuting them, for I should be quite certain that multi- tudes would join the standard of martyrs, and even adopt, without examination, their errors. The history of the world comes forward to corroborate the justice of my views, and the truth of my opi- nions— so I will not insult your readers by arguing this point with them. Well, then, the French Government has undertaken to " perse- cute the Saint Simonans"— to follow them from house to house and from hiding place to hiding place— to interrupt their religious services— to prevent the propagation of their doctrines— to crush their Journal by demands for Stamp Duties— and to hold them up to the public as cheats and swindlers, who persuade young women and old men to surrender to them their fortunes or income, in order that they may live in indolence and fatten on the spoil. I need not tell you that in proportion as the folly c# the Government leads it on to persecute this new moral or philosophical sect, just in the same proportion do their numbers and revenues increase and Michael Chevalier, who was the other day the Editor of the Globe, and a very elegant fashionable young man, is now a martyr, who is suffering for what he considers the benefit and the happiness of the human race. The last time I referred to the Saint Simonians in my correspond- ence, the sect was about to leave its spacious Hotel and elegantly furnished Salons, in the Rue Marsigny, for the retirement of the country— and its balls and soirees it was about to exchange for gar- dener's instruments— study— and plain fare and plain habits. Sines then the Saint Simonians have partially carried their plan into effect. To the number of forty ( all males) they have retired to a village called Menilmontant, close to the barrier of Paris, but which is on a most commanding elevation, and is completely secluded from the world. The young men have taken to let their beards grow— have assumed a sort of smock frock costume— live in common work in the garden— dress their dinners— lay tbe cloth— and wait at table ; and their piety consists in digging, hoeing, and singing in the gar- den, whilst the fair and the brown, the youug and the old, the handsome and the ugly, the witty and the dull, the wise aud the stupid, assemble by hundreds in their pleasure grounds, to con- template these smock frock apostles, who dine admirably dig fervently, and certainly sing most sublimely. Removed from Paris secluded from the society of the capital— and, living in compara. tive privacy, the Saint Simonians can do no possible harm, even should they fail of accomplishing any good ; and if they think that by allowing the poorer and the middling classes of society to in- spect their abode, and notice their daily toils, they shall thereby be rendering their visitors more satisfied with their condition in life, by showing them that they ( the Saint Simonians) think it not be- neath them to black shoes, clean knives, scour candlesticks, make beds, and wait at table— why, let them follow out their fancy; and if they thus contribute to the happiness of others, let us not only rejoice, but wish them abundant success. The French Government will not do this! When the St. Simo- nians met in Paris at a Salle or chapel, in the Rue Taitbout, the Government dispersed them by force, closed up the doors, and placing seals thereon, refused them right of assembling. In return for this most violent attack, the St. Simonians offered that same Salle to the use of the Government for a cholera hospital, and the offer was accepted. When the St. Simonians retired to Menilmon. tant, the police proceeded to their dwelling, shut up their private chapel in their private house, and said that they must not meet together either for preaching or lecturing. The St. Simonians smiled at this act of folly and of passion, and replied, " Then we must preach in our garden." They did so ; and then the police pro- ceeded to the garden, ordered all to leave who were not inhabitants of the house, and by force compelled the evacuation of the pleasure- grounds. What was the consequence? Why the next day of re- ception hundreds proceeded to the grounds of the St. Simonians who before had never visited them, and many who went from curiosity became converts. Annoyed at this defeat, the Govern- ment proceeded a step further. It sent an agent of police to pre- vent the entry of the public on the days fixed— directed the St. Sinionians to refuse to receive the visits of their friends and ac- quaintances— and actually imprisoned them in their own dwelling. The St. Simonians then appealed to the law— asked if this was the honest execution of the Charter of 1830— and required at least that a private dwelling might be secured from the visits and attacks of the police. The Government replied, that there was a law which declared that no more than twenty persons could collect together without the permission of the police— and that the St. Simonians collected together in their gardens a much greater number on fixed days. The answer to this sophistry was easy. All private balls and soirees, and fetes champetre, are always composed of more than twenty persons, and yet no one thinks of asking the permission of the police to give a ball or soiree every week. '' But," said the Government agent, " you give lectures, pronounce speeches, and enter into conversation, as well as distribute books in your garden relative to your sect and religion, and you meet on fixed days and on fixed hours." The St. Simonians were prepared with their reply. They said, we give no lectures— we pronounce no speeches— we converse with our friends in our own gardens, as private individuals do in their pleasure- grounds— we receive no money for admittance — make no collection, and very often our friends are there simply to witness us perform our culinary or our household or gardening duties. And then as to receiving our friends and acquaintances on a fixed day and at fixed hours, why to prevent any dispute on this head, we shall in future receive them on every day and at all. hours, July 22. THE TftWH. 23* Here, for the moment, the matter rests. The St. Simonians are young men— eleves of the Polytechnic school— are ardent, resolute, determined to persevere in their system— and against whom the arm of persecution must eventually be powerless. Then let us pray the Government to leave them alone— to let them dig, and sing, and talk and cook at their pleasure, and I will pledge myself that the new sect will soon become a very small and unimportant so- ciety, less numerous and less formidable than even the followers of Joanna Southcote. COUNTRY MISCELLANEA. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. A singular and fatal accident occurred at Kilham on Friday week last. Mr. Dickinson, of that place, attempted to turn a loaded waggon without the aid of horses. Being placed on the declivity of a hill, it received an impulse which accelerated the motion until it acquired a speed that completely overpowered him, and he was driven forward, without the means of escape, into a horse- pond, where he fell, and one of the wheels resting upon him, held him under the water. Several of his own la- bourers were promptly on the spot; but, though they used every exertion, it was not until a great part of the lading, consisting of about three tons of bone manure, had been thrown out, that they were able to move the waggon, or extricate the sufferer, owing to the depth of the pond and the adhesiveness of a quan- tity of strong mud at the bottom. Life was of course totally ex- tinct.— Hull Advertiser, On account of the cholera, 90 prisoners have been liberated from Wakefield House of Correction. The Leeds Mercury says that none of those charged with game law offences have been in- cluded ih the number of the discharged. THE HAY HARVEST.;— The hay throughout this county is Considerably more than half housed, and if fine weather should come on, it will be all carried by the latter end of the ensuing week. In quality and quantity the crops have never been equalled in the recollection of the oldest farmers. In some instances there is a double average, and in almost all one- third more than an average crop— Newcastle Journal. All the professional men in the Stroud district intend to give their services gratuitously in support of the liberal candidates in the ensuing election, and we are happy to discover the same spirit among the professional gentlemen in Cheltenham. This is re- form I— Cheltenham Chronicle. The Rev. Mr. Aylward, the Roman Catholic curate at Thomas- town, got up out of bed about one o'clock on Monday morn- ing, in consequence of hearing a noise in the street, occasioned by the rioting of some persons, on their return from the anti- tithe meeting at Ballyhale. He threw open the window, and was in the act of addressing the mob below, when he unfortunately fell out into the street, and was killed on the spot.— Kilkenny Moderator. Loss OF AN EMIGRANT VESSEL.— TheRedwing, Stuart, from Sunderland, arrived at Quebec on the 8th instant. On her pas- sage she fell in with the Henry the Fifth, Davies, master, from Neath, with 180 passengers, then in a sinking state, having sprung a leak 24 hours before. Captain Stuart remained by the wreck until all hope of stopping the leak was abandoned, when he took from on board her the 2' assengers and their effects, and has safely landed them at Quebec.— The Cambrian. A BARGAIN.— On Thursday se'nnight, at Writtle, during the sale of the late Mrs. Saunders's furniture, by Mr. Baker, a bureau was about to be knocked down at less than twenty shil- lings, when at the instant a secret drawer was discovered, which proved to contain bank notes to the amount of thirty pounds, mi fifteen sovereigns. On Wednesday week the grand division of the 91st ( Argyle- shire) regiment, arrived from Liverpool in Dublin, and, without one hour's halt in this city, immediately commenced a forced march towards Mullingar. In the centre of the band marched, proudly, and with true military precision, a gigantic stag of the Highland red deer species, who haughtily tossed his towering antlers as the pipes screamed out the martial war song of his own clan. He is a most beautiful creature, and attracted uni- versal admiration.— Dublin Freeman's Journal. HARPUR CHARITY.— On Thursday se'nnight, Elizabeth Pratt, a poor woman of good reputation, applied to the trustees of this munificent charity of 12,000/. per annum, for 20/. as a marriage portion, bequeathed to her by the immortal Harpur ; when lo I his trustees thought proper to refuse this young woman's re- quest, because her aged and infirm parents, some six or eight years ago, were unable to provide for their numerous offspring without parochial assistance. Well might the Rev. S. Hillyard declare to the trustees his regret that his name had ever been affixed to such a clause in their late abominable act, that goes to the exclusion of such deserving objects, expressly declared in the donor's will; whilst 80/. a year is bestowed upon the opulent for their education at our universities, who are total strangers to Bedford, and never would have been seen or heard of here, but for the charities wrested from the poor, and which are misap- plied for the benefit of the rich. Surely every considerate man ought to refuse acting as trustee to the institution, until these evils are corrected.— Huntingdon Gazette.

GENTLEMEN OF THE LONG FACE, AS WELL AS THE LONG ROBE.— At the Exeter Sessions on Monday, there were six pri soners, forming four cases ; during the forenoon fifteen barris ters dropped in I PonroiSES.— On Monday last a large shoal of porpoises was observed to arrive with the tide in the Bay of Morecambe, at Poulton- le- Sands, near Lancaster ; and several of them were left in that part of the bay called Poulton- ring, after the ebbing of the tide. Upwards of twenty boats were immediately manned by the principal part of the male villagers, who armed themselves with every kind of offensive weapon they could procure, includ Jng guns, sithes, spades, and pitchforks. The attack was made with great animation, and the firing of the guns, and the surge from the rolling of the wounded and bulky animals, partook not a little of the terrific. The assailants succeeded in capturing three porpoises, of dimensions far exceeding those ascribed to that fish, in the works of several established writers on natural history. The following were the dimensions :— 1st, 10 feet long, by 6 feet 2 inches in girth ; 2d, 11 feet by 6 feet 5 inches ; and the 3d, 11 feet 3 inches.— Preston \ Chronicle. BIRD- NESTING EXTRAORDINARY.— We have often heard of birds choosing singular places for building their nests, but of none more singular than that we are about to record. A coal vessel from Newcastle, or some place in that neighbourhood, having lately been at Nairn, two sparrows were frequently ob- served to light on the top of the vessel's mast; and the crew, after being several hours at sea, were much astonished at seeing the two creatures following the sloop. After being exhausted with flying, they perched themselves on the top of the mast. Crumbs of bread were thrown on the deck, with the view of alluring them down ; but they resisted the temptation for a con- siderable time. Pressed by hunger, they at last descended to the deck, and ate up with avidity the fragments that were scat- tered before them. Having eaten a hearty meal, the feathered Voyagers returned to the topmast. By the time the vessel was two days at sea, they descended from their high altitude once on an average every three hours, when, after partaking of some food, they regularly returned to their elevated quarters. Mat- ters proceeded in this way during the voyage, which was a long one, the crew all the while being alike ignorant of what had at- tracted them in the first instance to the vessel, and of what could have induced them to put to sea. On reaching the river Tyne the matter was explained. A nest, with four young ones in it, was discovered at the topmast. The nest, with its young in- mates, was taken down by the sailors, and being put, in the presence of the old birds, into a crevice of an old house on the banks of the river, the unfledged creatures were left to parental Care, which they doubtless received.— Elgin Courier. HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY, JULY 16. Earl Grey laid on the table copies of the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation between his Majesty and the Free City of Ham- burgh. Tbe Earl of RADNOR moved the third reading of the corporate fund bill, which, after a few words from Lord Eldon, was agreed to, and the bill passed. Lord DUNDAS presented a petition from Mr. John Wright, complaining of having been struck by a witness in one of the com- mittee- rooms, and praying that he might be heard at the bar. Mr. Wright was accordingly called to tbe bar and sworn. In answer to questions put to him by the Lord Chancellor, he stated that he was an agent for tne shipowners of Sunderland op- posed to the Sunderland Dock bill, then under the consideration of a committee of their lordships; that immediately after he had quitted tbe committee room that morning,'' and while still in the House of Lords, he was accosted by Mr. James Allison, a ship- builder of Sunderland, who was a witness on the other side of the question, who said to him, " IIow dare you allude to me in your speech!" and then struck him in the face. Mr. Wright was then ordered to withdraw; and on the motion of the Lord Chancellor, Mr. Allison was ordered to attend at their Lordships' bar to- morrow at two o'clock. MOFFATT'S DIVORCE- The Earl of ELDON moved the second reading of Moffait's divorce bill. After a few words from the Lord Chancellor, in opposition to the bill, the House divided on the question that the bill be read a second time.— Contents, 8; non- contents, 16. Majority against the bill, 8 Adjourned. TUESDAY, JULY 17. Their lordships met at two o'clock, for the purpose of giving the Royal assent by commission to several bills. The Commons were summoned to appear at the bar, and the Speaker, attended by several members, having arrived, the com- mission was read by the clerk. The following bills then received the Royal assent:— The Scotch reform bill; a bill to provide for the conveyance of premises the property of the crown, situated between the Tower and London- bridge ; an act to amend the 7th and 8th of Geo, IV., relating to tbe union of parishes in Ireland; a bill for the more effectual pre- vention of trespasses by persons in pursuit of game in Scotland; a bill to amend an act for the establishment of Portman- market; and two private estate bills. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.— James Allison, who struck John Joseph Wright for his evidence before the Sunderland dock com- mittee, was called to the bar, and ordered to be committed to the custody of the sergeant- at- arins for his offence.— Adjourned. WEDNESDAY, JULY 18. A message from the Commons brought up the London new police bill, and the Commons' assent to their lordships' amendments in the corporate funds bill. BREACH OF PRIVILEGE— On the motion of tbe LORD CHANCELLOR, the order of the day for taking into considera- tion the circumstances of a message having been sentto Mr. Wright, a witness and solicitor before the Sunderland dock committee, was discharged, the learned lord not conceiving the affair to be cogni- zable by their lordships as a breach of privilege. The Earl of CADOGAN presented a petition from J. Allison, in custody for having struck the witness Wright, stating that the petitioner had committed the offence in entire ignorance of ils being a breach of privilege ; that he was extremely sorry for his having done so; and had apologized to Mr. Wright for his intemperate conduct. The petitioner, after having been reprimanded by the Lord Chancellor, was discharged. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, after expressing at some length his disapprobation of the foreign policy pursued by mini- sters, concluded wilh asking, whether the noble earl was prepared to lay before the house a copy of tbe conference of the three powers, under which Prince Otlio was appointed king of Greece, and whe- ther he meant to call upon parliament to enable ministers to pay tbe loan which they had guaranteed? Earl GREY said, he had no hesitation in slating, that the choice of the three powers had fallen on Prince Otho of Bavaria, who had been spoken of in the time of their predecessors. He had no hesitation in stating, that a convention had been entered into on that subject, and that it was correct that a treaty had been agreed upon, containing a stipulation for guaranteeing pecuniary aid to the amount mentioned. By the treaty, if sanctioned by parlia- ment, government had agreed to guarantee tbe third part of tbe sixty millions of francs, the other powers guaranteeing the rest. Whether that was justifiable or not, would be proper matter for dis- cussion when the treaty and the documents relating to it should be laid on the table, and tbe subject should be immediately brought under consideration. On that subject be need say nothing more at present, than that every possible security was taken against eventual loss. If peace and good order should be restored to Greece, the revenues of that country were amply sufficient to pay the interest of the debt and the sinking fund for the liquidation of the principal. The Earl of ABERDEEN expressed himself at some length on our foreign policy with regard to Belgium and Greece, to which Earl Grey shortly replied ; aud after a few observations from the Duke of Wellington, Viscount Goderich, and the Earl of Hadding- ton, the conversation dropped, and their lordships adjourned. THURSDAY, JULY 19. REFORM ( IRELAND) BILL.— Mr. Crampton, and others, brought up from the Commons this bill.— Read a first time and ordered to be printed. On the motion of Lord Melbourne, the second reading was fixed for Monday next, on the understanding that the motion would be deferred in the event of the bill not being printed by that day. RECIPROCITY DUTIES ( FRANCE) Lord STRANG- FORD was anxious to elicit from the Noble President of the Board of Trade some information relative to the tonnage duties on British merchandise entering the ports of France. This country had every reason to complain of Fi ance, whose reduced tonnage duty of Is. 3d. was 50 per cent, more than was levied on French goods in the English ports. Lord AUCKLAND was confident that the noble lord was much mistaken as to the difference between the French and English ton- nage duties, and that so far from that difference amounting to 50 per cent, the duties were to all intents and purposes equal. But, said the noble lord, tbe charge in France now is Is. 3d.; therefore the French have an advantage of 50 per cent. This was not the fact; the difference was altogether apparent, and arose from the circumstance of the English and French measures being to each other in the proporlion of 10 to 15, ( Hear, hear,) so that Is. 3d., in France on the English ton, was pretty much the same thing as lOd. in England on the French measure. ANATOMY BILL.— The Earl of MINTO moved the order of the day for the third reading of this bill. Lord WYNFORD moved that the bill be read a third time that day six months. After a few words in favour of the amendment by Lord Teynham and the Earl of Harewood, the House divided— Contents, i » 9— Non- contents, 9— Majority for the third reading, 20 The LORD CHANCELLOR proposed some clauses by way of riders to the bill, which were agreed to. A conversation ensued as to the expediency of doing away with dissection in the case of convicted murderers. After which, Earl GREY moved a clause to the effect that the bodies of all prisoners convicted of murder should either be hung in chains, or buried under the gallows on which they bad been executed, or within the precincts of the prison in which such prisoner had been confined, according to tbe discretion of tbe Court before whom the prisoner might be tried, and that such addition be stated at the time of pronouncing sentence. The clause was then agreed to, and the bill was read a third time ond passed.— Adjourned. FRIDAY, JULY 20. IRISH REFORM BILL.— Tbe Duke of CUMBERLAND expressed a hope that the second reading of the Reform Bill ( Ire- and) would be postponed from Monday next lo a future day, in consequence of the absence of many Irish Peers now attending the Assizes. Earl GREY thought it was not very reasonable, at so advanced a period of the Session, and the Irish Peers having had due notice, to ask for delay. Lord WYNFORD moved that the second be fixed for Thurs- day, instead of Monday next. After a desultory discussion their Lordships divided on Lord Wynford's motion :— Content, 13 ; Not Content, 15— Majority for taking the second reading on Monday next, 2. Lord WYNFORD moved the second reading of his bribery bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR hoped that this bill would not be pressed, as the bill in the other House ( Lord John Russell's) would be proceeded with, and he hoped would be soon before their Lordships, so as to be passed this Session. Lord WYNFORD said, after this intimation, he would not press his bill beyond the second reading pro forma. The bill was read a second time, and the House adjourned till Monday. HOUSE. OF COMMONS, MONDAY, JULY 16. On the motion of the Lord Advocate the Lords amendments to the Scotch reform bill were agreed to. RUSSO- DUTCH LOAN.— Lord ALTHORP moved tbe order of the day for a committee of the whole House on the Russian loan. Mr. BARING rose and delivered a speech in which he went over pretty nearly the same ground as when the question was dis- cussed last week, and concluded by moving, as an amendment, that an humble address be presented to his Majesty, praying that his Majesty would be graciously pleased to order that there be laid on the table of that House copies or extracts of any docu- ments relating to the convention of the 19th May, 1815, between Great Britain, Russia, and tbe Netherlands, explanatory of the spirit and objects of that convention." Mr. ROBINSON seconded the motion. A rather lengthened discussion here ensued, in which the same topics and same arguments were gone over by tbe same speakers who debated tbe question on the 13th inst. Mr. SHEIL, who had not spoken on the former discussion, thus expressed himself:— The treaty of 1814 was absolute and uncon- ditional- England bound herself to pay so much money to Holland. She received four colonies of Holland as a consideration. She has the estate— has any event arisen by which she is released from the payment of the purchase money ? The treaty of 1815 was founded on the treaty of 1814. Holland transfers her absolute demand on us to Russia, and by the 5th article a contingency is attached, in the event of which the payment is to cease. That contingency has arisen— but how > that is the question. Through England's own interposition. ( Hear, hear.) What are the facts! Brussels follows the example of Paris,— Holland invades Belgium,— the armies of France march,— the flames of a general war are about to break out, — England interposes,— the union of Holland and Belgium might involve her in irretrievable disaster. She takes a new kingdom in lieu of her former junctions; she plants on a new throne a prince, an Englishman by adoption, linked with her own royalty by the nearest ties, and who must be faithful to England if he be true to himself. Under these circumstances, is England relieved from a debt for which she has the consideration! Let common honesty and common sense answer the question. There is no doubt that there exists in England an indisposition to pay Russia; but Russia has not lost ber claim to our money, by having earned a title to our detestation. We are not to try the responsibility of one party by tbe delinquencies of another; to rely on Poland's sufferings in order to make money of them, were indeed a thrifty retribution. ( Cheers.) There was a time when we might have interfered,— when an ad- miral in the Baltic might have interceded with more eloquence than a minister at St. Petersburgh ; but the irrevocable decision has passed by ; and now, are we— now that Poland has perished for ever, and of her glorious people nothing but their glory remains,— are we now to avail ourselves of all her incalculable misery,— her anguish,— her tears,-— her desolation, to indulge in a lucrative sympathy, and profitable commiseration,— to make an entry of her wrongs in our fiscal ledger,— to convert them into an item of sordid calculation, and balance tbe account with Poland's best and noblest blood ? ( Cheers.) 5,000,000/. is a large sum— it is a vast heap of gold ; but the character of England is above all price; better to lose every thiug except our honour, than win the world without it. ( Hear, bear.) Towards the close of the debate, Mr. KEARSLEY rose and said, amidst cries of " Question," he hoped the House would bear with hint for a short time. He did not often trespass upon tbe in- dulgence of the House, and when he did, he was generally fortu- nate enough to obtain a most cheerful audience. ( Laughter.) His speeches were " like angel visits— few and far between." ( Great laughter.) It was only a few nights ago that the lion. Member for Middlesex calumniated the Emperor of Russia, by calling him a monster, and he was therefore very much surprised to see that night the Noble Lord, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, bandying com- pliments with the lion- Member, and pitching it right and left. ( Continued laughter.) While on bis legs, he would take the liberty of addressing a few words to the Noble Lord, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Did not that Noble Lord know that he was bring- ing down the Divine wrath on this country by the desecration of the sabbath ? He would inform the Noble Lord, that " Example strikes where precept fails, And sermons are less read than tales." ( Great laughter.) He knew that he possessed but a weak voice, but if he had a strong one, he would not fail to ring into his graci- ous Monarch's ears, that bis illustrious father would have blushed to have countenanced men who had not a blush in tliero. ( Shouts of laughter, followed by loud cries of Question.) The gallery was then cleared of strangers, and the House divi- ded. The numbers were— For Mr. Baring's amendment 155— Against it 191— Majority in favour of Ministers, 36. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at half- past Three o'Clock. TUESDAY, JULY 17. On the motion of Mr. Alderman Wood, the London police bill was read a third time and passed. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL moved the first reading of the ecclesiastical courts' contempt bill, and of a bill to render the judg- ments of ecclesiastical courts more efficient.— Read a first, and ordered to be read a second time. After tbe presentation of several petitions, Mr. J. E. GORDON wished to put a question to the right hon. Secretary for Ireland. It appeared there had been a meeting at a place called Ballyhale, on the subject of tithes, where, it was said, two hundred thousand persons had assembled, and that the chair- man on the occ » sion was the deputy- lieutenant of the county of Kilkenny. He wished to know whether this was fact, aud if whether the chairman had been called to any account. Mr. STANLEY said, it was undoubtedly true that Colonel Butler, tiie gentleman alluded to, a magistrale, and deputy- lieute nant of tbe county, had presided at a very large, and, he believed, an illegal meeting; and he could further state, that that gentleman had been called upon by the Lord Chancellor of Ireland to account for his conduct. Mr, HARVEY again brought forward his motion respecting the power of the benchers to prevent individuals being called to the bar and practising as barristers ; and many members, some of them barristers and benchers, admitted that such power was too great to be left in irresponsible hands. The House, however, on going to a division, w as found not to contain forty members.— Adjourned. WEDNESDAY", JULY 18. Some petitions were presented, amongst which was one by Mr O'Connell, from Mr. Cobbett, complaining of the English reform bill, and praying that another bill might be passed in this session to entitle every man who paid taxes, or was bound to serve in the militia, to vote. The petition also prayed for the ballot. After a few words from Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Hunt, who declared that Mr. Cobbett was a man of high ability, indeed of the most powerful talent, so far as his capability of turning short round from one side of a question to the other went, The petition was ordered to lie on the table. After some remarks from Mr. of certain Inns of Court to prevent students of law being called to the Bar, the Attorney General intimated that it was ascertained to be competent to the law commissioners to institute the proposed in- quiry without further instructions. To a question from Sir R. Peel, relative to tbe re- appearance of the cholera in the Metropolis, Mr. Thomson replied, that there had been considerable exaggerations on the subject— that the ave- rage of deaths, in and about the Metropolis, was from 20 to 30 a- day— that for the last four days there had not been any case in Ihe Docks or upon the River— and that such considerations in- duced the Government to withhold daily announcements, as the effect would be ( he closing of the ports of other countries against our vessels. GOVERNORSHIP OF LONDONDERRY FORT.— Mr. G. DAWSON said he wished to call the attention of the House to the subject of the salary paid to the Governor of Londonderry Fort, for doing nothing whatever, and which money, lie thought, might be appropriated to a purpose of public benefit. The motion which he intended to submit to the House on this subject was—" That an address be presented to his Majesty to release the Irish Society from that part of the charter, which obliges them to pay 200/. a- year, and the rents of certain lands, to the Governor of London- derry and Culmore Forts, on condition of their applying those sums to the building of a stone bridge over the river Foyle, or any other improvement in that district," Lord ALTHORP opposed the motion, and added, that it was true that he bad stated himself to be opposed to all useless sine- cures; but he had never expressed an opinion that those offices which afforded tbe means of rewarding distinguished and merito- rious military officers were useless sinecures. ( Hear, hear.) After a few words from Mr. Hume, Mr. Byng, Mr. Fane, and Mr. Alderman Venables, Sir H. HARDINGE expressed his surprise that liis right hon. friend, who had supported him through thick and thin whilst in office, should bring forward a motion that was opposed to the policy by which liis conduct had always been regulated. It would be establishing a most unconstitutional precedent, to teach officers to look to this House for reward instead of to the Crown. Mr. G. DAWSON said that he would not divide the House. The motion was negatived. COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY.— On the motion of Lord Althorp, the House resolved itself into a committee of supply. Mr. S. RICE said that he would propose no vote which was likely to occasion discussion. The following votes were then agreed to :— 30,892/. to defray tbe expences of the Foundling Hospital Dublin..— 26,2981, for the Lunatic Asylum, Dublin.— 1,735(. for the Richmond Lunatic Asylum 1,046/. for the Hibernian Marine Society.— 1,354/. for tbe Female Orphan- house, Dublin 3,560i. for the Westmoreland Lock Hospital.— 1,423/. for the Lying- in Hospital, Dublin.— 1,962/. for Dr. Stevens's Hospital 4,825/. for the Fever Hospital, Cork- street, Dublin.— 625/. for the Hospital of Incurables.— 6,625Z. for the Royal Dublin Society.— 375/. for the Royal Irish Academy.— 875/. towards defraying the expenses of the Board of Charitable Bequests and Donations.— 1,875/. for the Belfast Academical Institution.— 14,000/. for defraying the expenses of tbe Board of Works.— 28,716/. for defraying tbe ex- penses of the offices of the chief and under- secretaries, the Lord- iieutenant, and his Majesty's printer in Ireland.— A sum of 16,67 Tl. for salaries of officers and attendants of tbe household of the Lord- lieutenant, usually charged on the civil list of Ireland.— 8,807/. as the charge of the office of Vice- Treasurer and Teller of the Exche- quer in Ireland. In moving this grant, Mr. S. RICE took occasion to state, that tbe sum which had been due from Sir G. Hill, the late Vice- Treasurer of Ireland, to the Government, had all been paid up. ( Hear, hear.) The next items were a sum of 5,1251. for printing proclamations in the Dublin Gazette, and other new- spapers in Ireland ; and also for printing the statutes.— A sum of 72,500/. for the expense of criminal prosecutions in Ireland, including the expense of the spe- cial commissions, which Mr. S. Rice said had swelled the grant to 10,000/. more than the grant of last year. After some short dis- cussion the vote was agreed to.— The next votes were the sum of 30,230/. 5s., for the expense of non- conforming, seceding, and dissenting ministers in Ireland.— A sum of 24,937/. to defray the expense of the police and watch establishment of the city of Dublin, for five quarters, from the 31st of December, 1831, to the 31st March, 1833. To this vote Mr. HUME moved an amendment, but which, after some conversation, he withdrew, and the original motion was carried.— The sum of 4,454/. 4s. 3J- d. was voted for defraying the expense of certain public works in Ireland ; and 7,5001.' for de- fraying the expense of Dunmore Harbour; and 26,668/. 10s. for the purchase of the several commissions and appointments in the Battle- axe Guards, in Dublin. The House then resumed. Report to- morrow. THE REFORM BILL ( IRELAND.)— On the motion of Mr. Stanley, this bill was read a third time. Mr. CRAMPTON proposed two clauses, for the better regulat- ing tbe mode of registration, which were agreed to, and added as riders to the bill. Some amendments were moved by Mr. Mullins, Mr. Jcplison, and Mr. Leader, but withdrawn after some conversation. On the motion of Mr. Stanley, several verbal amendments were then read and agreed to. A long desultory conversation as to the qualification oath admi nistered to Roman Catholic freeholders here ensued, in which Mr. Walker, Mr. M. O'Connell, Mr. Wjse, Mr. M. O'Ferrall, Colonel Perceval, Mr. S. Rice, and other members, took part. The clause remained unaltered, and the bill then passed. TITHES ( IRELAND) BILL On the motion of Mr. Stanley, the second reading of this bill was agreed to, without discussion, on the understanding that ample opportunity for further discussion should be afforded in the committee, which was fixed for Tuesday next. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and tlie House adjourned at two o'clock. THURSDAY, JULY 19. There being but 33 members present at four o'clock, the House stood adjourned to the following day. FRIDAY, JULY 20. The anatomy bill was brought from the Lords, agreed to, with certain amendments. Sir J. C. 1IOB1IOUSE stated, in reply to an inquiry respecting private Somerville, of the Scots Greys, that though his discharge liad not taken place— a discharge that rested with the Commander- in- Chief— he ( Somerville) would have the opportunity of attending the inquiry, which commenced on Wednesday last, without being ubjected to any species of intimidation. RUSSIAN LOAN.— Upon the motion of Lord Althorp the House then resolved itself into a committee on the Russian Dutch Loan. Lord ALTHORP proposed a resolution to empower his Majesty to continue the payments hitherto made by the Crown, for the purpose of liquidating part of the interest of the Russian Dutch loan Mr. MILLS contended that no reason whatever existed for the payment of so large a sum of money to Russia as was proposed by ministers. The hon. gent., after some further remarks, moved an amendment, " That the chairman do leave the chair." A long discussion here ensued, in which the same objections and same arguments as those used in the three former debates on the subject were repeated, and in which Lords Sandon and Althorp, Mr. Stanley, Mr. A. Baring, Lord Palmerston, Sir R. Peel, and other hon. members, took part. At the conclusion of the debate tbe committee divided, when there appeared— Ayes, 112 ; Noes, 191; Majority for ministers, 79. The original motion was then carried, the chairman reported the resolution to the house, which report was oidered to be considered next day. Mr. F. PALMER moved the order of the day for the third reading of the Sheriffs' expenses bill. Mr. CAMPBELL moved that the clause exempting sherifSrfr^ JE^- j^ the necessity of escorting judges into towns of assize be onfitteH. - A* The house then divided— For the amendment 28 ; WinV., 1" Majority for leaving out the clause 12.— The bill wa< Xh0i » fead a Harvey on the subject of his. - - - motion respecting the arbitrary and irresponsible power of Benchers tllird ti, lie and passed.— Adjourned at half- past 2 o cloBt, 236 THtE TOWST. TO THE PUBLIC. The Proprietors of THE TOWN respectfully inform the Public, that they intend to present to their Subscribers, GRATIS, a well executed MAP or ENGLAND under the Reform Bill, from the Ordnance surveys, assisted by the Reports of the Commissioners for the division of Counties. This superb Map, which will be engraved on steel, will contain the latest statistical details, population census, with a geological survey of the kingdom; also, the navigable rivers, canals, railways ( present and contemplated), parks, and turnpike roads, etc. By Authority. The Proprietors of THE TOWN Newspaper feel that a new era com- menced when the Reform Bill passed, ana 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- ing the alterations such Bill has made, together with the data on which the present Government proceeded. The Proprietors also feel that they are how offering to their Sub- scribers a work which will be unique, and surpassing all others yet f> ublislied, for it is well known that at present there is no Map of Eng- and 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 its completeness and general utility, before calling upon them for far- ther subscriptions, in case they should not be fully satisfied that the Proprietors have in 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 part 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 wide, 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 the number of subscribers they obtain, that we may be prepared to supply them with the earliest copies. *#* A Saturday Edition of this Paper is published in time for the Country, which may be obtained of all Neivsmen on Sunday morning, within 100 miles of London. Tiff ® T © LONDON: SUNDAY, JULY 22, 1832. There has been another " talk" in the House of Com- mons upon the Russian and Dutch loan. Tbe crisis had gone by— the trimmers saw that the administration was safe— the speeches contained nothing new in the way of fact or argument. The only novelty was in tbe way of passion— and the matter is, wo trust, set at rest by tbe large majority of 191 to 112. It is difficult to read without contempt tho shallow quibbling, and unblushing incon- sistency, with which tbe Opposition argue against a mea- sure of good faith and national honour, imposed upon tbe present Government by the CASTLEREAGH and WELLING- TON Cabinets. We are surprised that no Member of the Ministerial majorily lias thought it worth his while to reply to the surviving subalterns of the Castlereagh school, by citing lite speeches of Lords LIVERPOOL and CASTLEREAGH in 1815, when this transaction originated; their fulsome eulogies of Ihe Emperor ALEXANDER, and the trifling nature of this pecuniary en- gagement as a recompence for his services to England and to Europe. We have respect cnongh for the character and memory of tbe late Lord LIVERPOOL to hazard tbe belief that were be now alive, atld in Opposition, he would repudiate that factious chicanery with which it isattempied to impugn tbe obligation under the treaty of 1815, and convi r. ti n of 1830. We have reason to believe that notwithstanding all ( bat has been said about repealing the taxes on knowledge, it is not intended by tbe present Ministry, if tbey remain in office, to propose any diminution of consequence either in Die stamp or advertisement duty. Mr. L. BULWER has had several interviews with Lord ALTHORP. but without having been able to obtain any distinct pledge on the sub- ject. It is reported that the influence of two or three great monopolists has prevailed— or, rather, to do Lord AL THORP justice, for be is not a man to favour any particular interest against the conviction of duty, the statements which they have made have satisfied the mind of tbe Noble Lord. _________ The first breaking out of the Asiatic cholera in this coun- try, under circumstances of terror and exaggeration from distance, was met with a manly firmness, characteristic oftlie country, and honourable to the people. From the great salubrity of the capital, with its municipal organiza- tion and public spirit, the progress of the disease had but a slight proportion to the vast population, and it disap- peared. It has returned, and, we believe, with still less virulctice, and rapidity of communication. But we appre- hend, that as the evil has become more familiar, due pre- caution is abandoned. The matter, perhaps, is not of such a nature as to demand the direct interference of Government; but, from our observation, and the commu- nications of Correspondents, we are satisfied that there is negligence, or supineness, on the pait of the local magis- tracy and the police. It is impossible to pass through the poorer and more crowded parts of the capital, whether East or West, without witnessing such neglect of cleanli- ness as of itself to generate disease. of Vienna and Berlin. How far Ihe ruling princes of the minor states of Germany are really consenting pai es to this usurpation upon their independence we will not take it upon us to pronounce. It would appear at first sight little short of prodigy, that any reigning prince should freely submit himself to the absolute will of a foreign power. But in some of those states, institutions giving an imperfec liberty were extorted from the sovereigns, and the latter may be satisfied to give up their own independence, on the condition of being released from the controul of any sort of constitution. The unconditional servitude of their sub- jects may be to them an equivalent for their own vas- salage to a foreign power. But there is another and more interesting view of this matter. What has called forth this act of usurpation by the Sovereigns of AUSTRIA and PRUSSIA? NO serious ma- nifestation of popular discontent or revolutionary feeling had taken place in Germany. It is true lhat the freedom of speech was rather boldly exercised, but the tone of the German press, against which the ire of the Diet is chiefly directed, was moderate and guarded. What then pro- voked the denunciation against all freedom, all law, it may be said, all independent rights, both of states and governments ? It is the knowledge which the Austrian and Prussian governments possess that the popular pas- sions are fermenting, and arc embodying themselves by di- rect organization. The Germans are a ruminating narcotic race, but they have a tendency to hardihood of speculation in philosophy and politics, a love of secret and mystical as- sociations, and a familiarity with them, which may make the state of Germany pregnant with danger to its rulers, whilst tbe people appear to the rest of Europe in a state of repose. Is it possible that the contiguous atrocities ofPoland could pass unheeded by tbe Germans? That the heart and intel- lect of all that is most enlightened and independent of the great German nation, are occupied with the grievous fate ofPoland, and the regeneration of that gallant people, and with the liberty of " the great German family," we have reason to believe. It is to crush this formidable germ, or, perhaps, more than germ, of redress and reform, that the two Sovereigns of Austria and Prussia have usurped the despotic tutellage of tbe German states. Will they succeed ? This is a matter of awful uncertainty. That a great shock between despotism and freedom will soon follow, we have little doubt. Prince TALLEYRAND, in one of bis diplomatic notes, whilst at the Congress of Vienna, pending the fate of Poland, declared, that it was the atrocious partition of Poland that brought upon Fiance and Europe the scourge of the French Re- volution. Is it likely that the massacre and desolation of the same generous people, by an unparalleled instance of faithless tyranny and inhuman cruelty, will pass idly over more independent and enlightened Europe at the present day?— We think not. The journals of Europe, at this moment, are occupied with the manifesto of what is called tbe German Confede- ration. Wherever* the press is free, public opinion ex- presses itself in a voice of indignant reprobation— and where the press is but the organ of despotism, the shame- less hypocrisy with which this tyrannical document is falsified and eulogised, only excites disgust. The spirit and effect [ of this document, is to extinguish at once the liberty of spccch, and of the press,— to suppress the constitutional rights of the people, and the independence of the several States,— to make the Diet of what is called the Confederation supreme and absolute over tho whole Germanic body;— and again, to place the voice of this Diet at the disposal of the Cabinets The Belgian question may be considered iu statu quo as to action, but not exactly so as to principle, for after all the vapouring of the French Government, it has tran- spired in a manner which leaves no doubt of the authen- ticity of the fact, that General SEBASTIAN), the Minister for Foreign Affairs, has informed the Dutch Ambassador at Paris, that, come what may, France does not intend to employ coercive means against the Dutch, for the purpose of compelling them to consent to the terms of the Con- ference treaty. This is pretty treatment of the Belgians, considering that it was the French Government that urged them to revolt, that procured them support in the revolution, and, lastly, guaranteed their independence; but it is not to be wondered at, for, by abandoning tbe Belgians, the French Ministers hope to protract their dismissal from office. The Belgians still declare that they will either have the treaty, as agreed upon between them and the Conference, or try the chances of war; but what can they do but submit, if France docs not, as it is bound in honour to do, second them in the attempt to compel the Dutch to exe- cute the treaty? The King of BELGIUM has, indeed, an army of nearly 90,000 men, well disciplined and provided, and, with good officers, such an army would be more than equal to a contest with tbe Dutch single- handed; but Prussia has declared that she will not consent lo witness hostilities between the Dutch and the Belgians, without interfering; and even England is not prepared to enforce the treaty, which was so solemnly guaranteed by theEritish and French Cabinets. Thus situated, the statu quo must be maintained for some time longer, or the King of BELGIUM must at once relin- quish all his claims on the honor and justice of his allies ; for to him the duration of the statu quo would be destruc- tion. In a population of three millions, seven hundred thousand, he has an army of nearly 90,000, at an cxpence of three millions of florins monthly. What country could sustain such a burthen as this, in proportion to its popula- tion? None: and there is no country in Europe so little able to sustain it as Belgium. Even France, menaced as she is by other powers, has not a standing army like that of Belgium; if she had, it would amount to more than 600,000, and how would France be able to maintain such an army without additional burthens on the population ? Is it not unjust, therefore, on the part of the Powers who proposed the treaty between Holland and Belgium, now to fly from their engagements, and compel the Belgians, in their impoverished state, to incur an expenditure for their army, which, if continued much longer, mast cripple their resources beyond the power of recovery?

Here is a gentleman of unblemished cha- racter, of old and high family, a large landowner in the neighbourhood, and of liberal, but not radical, principles, chosen by a town generally considered one of the most de- mocratic in the kingdom. Even the worthy electors of Preston know that, now the good fight has been fought and won, it is to their interest collectively and individually to choose as their representatives men of education and pro- perty, who are domiciled wilh them, and personally ac- quainted and mixed up with their welfare and local inte- rests, instead of rantipole radicals and democrats, who have nothing to lose but their own frothy words. Mr. HESKETH FLEETWOOD'S address will be found in another part of the paper; it is a manly, and, we are sure, honest, declaration of his political opinions. POLITICAL PASTIME. TOWN TALK. Mr. WOOD retires from Preston, and Mr. HESKETH FLEETWOOD, of Rossall Hall, in that neighbourhood, bavin consented to offer himself for the vacancy, will he returned without opposition, This is as it should be, and is another KEARSLEY CANONIZED. " I do not often trespass on the indulgence of the house. My speeches are,' like angel visits, few and far between.' "— See Mr. Kearsley's speech on Monday night.

Amongst the exhibitions that await the sight- seer in this great emporium of all curiosities, the MODEL OF A COPPER MINE, now exhibiting at the Exeter Hall, in the Strand, deserves to be distinguished. This very ingenious and complicated piece of machinery, which is twelve feet long, six wide, and seven deep, is constructed of brass and mahogany, and worked by thirty gallons of water. It offers, in miniature, the complete fac simile of a copper mine in full work, with all its various processes of digging out the mineral, raising it to the surface, breaking, washing, and conveying it on a rail- road. To those who have never descended a mine, and are yet desirous of having a perfect idea of one, a visit to Exeter Hall will save them a journey into Wales or Cornwall. DON PEDRO'S EXPEDITION.— In the Times City article of Friday is the following:— There is, as we are assured, a letter in town, brought by his Majesty's ship Pantaloon, which states positively that the whole of the 19th Regiment, nearly 1,000 strong, and part of the 12th, went over to Don Pedro on the day before the Pantaloon sailed. This latter regiment was di- vided in sentiment with regard to the desertion from the Usurper, and the conflict which took place, by which about 100 men were killed and wounded, was between one portion of this regiment and the other. A letter from Madeira of the 20th says, " The Conde de Madeira, one of Don Pedro's ships, is cruising off the port against Portuguese vessels, and yesterday captured the Restaurador, from Lisbon, with despatches for our Government." DUCKETT AND MORLAND'S BANKRUPTCY.— At a meeting of the creditors on Monday, in the Bankruptcy Court, it was proposed, that application should be made to parliament for an act to enable them to dispose of Stort Navigation and the Hert- ford Union Canals in shares, and to form a company ; but the proposition was at length rejected, upon the ground that the creditors were completely ignorant of the cost, expenditure, and receipts of the canals, and they thought that the property would be more beneficially disposed of by selling it to three or four in- dividuals, than by forming themselves into a company. The chairman then announced to the meeting, that the assignees had realized 26,893/. upon the various estates of the bankrupts, and that there was yet a considerable property unsold. The total amount of debts at present proved against the joint estate exceeds 130,000/. The good debts due to the estate amount to nearly 105,000/ ST. DUNSTAN'S CHURCH, FLEET- STREET.— Thursday this edifice, as far as its masonry is concerned, was brought to a con- clusion. It is in the Gothic style, and has a square tower, from which springs an octagonal turret, surmounted by richly ornamented pinnacles at each angle, with open masonry- work, and three smaller pinnacles between. Viewed from the end of Fleet- street it has a very besutiful appearance. A temporary flag- staff has been erected in the centre of the turret, from which the Union Jack is displayed in honour of its completion. REFORM.— Saturday week a copy of the bill for " amending the representation of England and Wales" was received by the overseers of every parish in the metropolis and suburbs, accom- panied with printed instructions, giving every information with respect to their duties in the registration of votes, placing notices on the church doors, & c.; and reminding them that by a clause in the act of parliament they will be liable to heavy penalties for neglect of their official duties pointed out in the Reform Bill. The instructions and admonition to " all overseers" are signed " J. M. Phillips, Home Secretary's Office, Whitehall." The act and instructions were also forwarded, per mail, free of postage, to the sheriffs, returning officers, overseers, and other functiona- ries, of every county, city, town, parish, hamlet, and village, in England and Wales. The following Declaration is in course of signature among those inhabitants who united themselves with the Political Union, on the resignation of Earl Grey and his colleagues, in May last:— " We the undersigned, Inhabitants of the town and neighbour- hood of Birmingham, who joined the Birmingham Political Union on the 1 Otli and subsequent days of May, for the purpose of promoting the further union, order, and determination of all classes in support of the common cause of Parliamentary Reform, believing that the object for which we joined it has been fully accomplished by the great measure to which we pledged our support having become the law of the land, do now deem it our duty to withdraw from the Birmingham Political Union from this date." [ To be dated from the day of the Royal Assent being given to the Irish and Scotch Reform Bills.]— Birming- ham Gazette. The Horticultural Society assembled on Tuesday, at their establishment in Regent- street, when James Gooden, Esq. took the chair. There was a brilliant show of shrubs and flowers from the garden of Turnliam- green, many of them extremely rare, and all of them in the meridian of their beauty. Professor Lindley read some valuable communications from corresponding mem- bers, several candidates were selected, and others advanced to- wards the ballot. There were on the table fine specimens of the red masculine apricot, peaches, Elton seedling strawberries, cherries, gooseberries, and most delicious grapes. The vege- tables from the Society's garden were laitue de Malthe, Batavia brune, and superb Prussian lettuce. We heard nothing said re lating to a public breakfast, so that we apprehend thejete is de- ferred until next year. Tuesday the Members of the ancient Lumber Troop Club cele- brated the anniversary of their Society, at the Eyre Arms Ta- vern, St. John's Wood. Amongst the company were, the Lord Mayor, Mr. Hume, M. P., Mr. Tennyson, M. P., Col. Evans, M. P., Sir Samuel Whalley, Bart., Mr. Alderman Venables, Mr. Sergeant Spankie, & c. & c. The festival concluded with a ball. TRIAL OF Mr. BEAMISH'S NEW INVENTED CUTTER.— The trial which had been ordered by the Admiralty of Mr. Beamish's Cutter, the Paddy from Cork, against his Majesty's Tender Emerald, commenced at Portsmouth on Friday last. The vessels started from the Spit buoy at 10 a. m., ran from thence to the Nab Light, and returning round the Red- buoy off the Buolder, arrived at the winning- post; the Paddy at 2 hours 30 min. 20 sec.; the Emerald at 2 hours 41 min., the Pacjdy beating the Emerald nearly two miles in a distance pf twenty- five miles. It quite rejoiced US to hear the anti - reforming Colonel Fane supporting Mat- o'- the- Mint's amendment on the Russian Dutch Loan question, on the ground that " the money ought not to be paid to Russia." On the ^ jpe economical and prudent principle, Colonel Fane must feel pledged to support an amend- ment that we hold Joe Hume pledged to move on the civil list, for rescinding the pension now enjoyed by Mrs. Harriet Arbuth- not, since, in the opinion of the whole country, the money ought not to be paid to the said Mrs. Arbuthnot. Mr. A. Baring has postponed his " Privileges of Parliament Bill" to the next parliament, which, we trust, means to the Greek calends ; for if the reformers of England do their duty, the said Mr. A. Baring may, at that time, be spared the neces- sity of meddling with all parliamentary privileges, even by virtue of " his breeches pocket." Lord Londonderry, having been robbed of his wax- lights, now endeavours to " throw light on the subject" by dabbling in Greece. Sir Peter Laurie declines saddling Marylebone with the trouble and expense of a contested election. He says himself, " though a first- rate saddler he could not now make sure of his seal." Hunt, the matchless M. P. and blacking man, was charged at Preston with assaulting his quondam crony, Mitchell, and bound over to keep the peace for twelve months. Mitchell wished to have him bound over to " be of good behaviour," but the magis- trate declined, very properly alleging, that the law did not authorize him to do or require impossible conditions. On Tuesday night, on Mr. Whittle Harvey's motion for " re- gulating the Inns of Court," the House was counted out. It is high time it should. Oporto, the first scene of Don Pedro's triumph, was called by the Romans " Partus Gallorum." Don Miguel begins to fear it may prove to him the door of the gallows. Sir R. Peel said, on Monday night, that " the only motive for his vote was, to vindicate the honour of parliament." Had not Sir Robert better vindicate his own ? At Liverpool the cholera has proved fatal to the flies. The drones of St. Stephen's have taken the alarm, and no longer disturb public tranquillity by their buzzing and humming. We are assured there is not the slightest foundation for the rumour, so insidiously whispered about, that one of J. J. Stock- dale's literary ladies is the authoress of " The Private Corre- spondence of a Woman of Fashion," so strangely made public. Mr. Osbaldeston, of sporting celebrity, has ridden the cele- brated American horse, Rattler, to death in his late match for a trifling wager ; and the topping jockey of the Tories almost worked the celebrated American hackney, Chief Juggler, to death, in the last steeple chase for a sovereign. Is there no Cruelty to Animals bill in force ? When Sir Robert Peel tauntingly asked Mr. Hume whether his late vote on the Loan " was consistent with that straight- forward political course on which the honourable member was so fond of pluming himself on the Middlesex hustings," Sir R. Inglis grumbled in his gizzard very audibly, " I have often heard of Satan reproving sin, and this is the practical illustration of the saying." Mr. Goulburn declares that " he is anxious for the preserva- tion of the national faith." What a pity his anxiety was not excited when he twice broke faith with the national creditor. Though Mr. Praed opposes the Russian loan as " public plunder," it is well known that no man is more anxious to restore the Prced- a- tory system. The hopelessness of the Tory faction to recover power or place is most strikingly manifested in George Dawson's sudden repudiation of sinecures. " Derry Down," seeing no chance of securing the loaves and fishes for his own friends resolves that no one else shall enjoy them in quiet. Oh, the dog in the manger I the dog in the manger 1 I On Thursday the Morning Herald cited a case from a Bury paper in which the efficacy of bleeding in cholera was satisfactorily demonstrated. The faculty have no doubt found " bleeding" the most efficacious part of their system even in their Bury practice. His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester has left town for Cheltenham, resolved to put all his complaints, political and personal, into " Schedule A." Colonel Sibthorp is perfectly choleric because ministers do not publish cholera bulletins daily. We entreat the colonel to ' calm his clioler," lest he should superinduce a serious fit of coughing. Mr. Croker is " wroth to a degree" with the reporters for presuming to insinuate that his patron, Lord Hertford, intended the blaze of his tar- barrels for a reform illumination. The ex- secretary says they were deemed expedient on account of Sir Charles Wetherell figuring amongst the guests. Mr. Dawson i3 extremely anxious to have a bridge built over the Foyle. This, we suppose, arises from the personal incon- venience the worthy member is said to have suffered in his last passage of that river. If this be, as some suspect, a mere par- liamentary speculation, we fear nothing less than a bridge of gold will secure George's success, or prevent his being once more foiled. On Tuesday an old woman complained at one of the police- offices of the loss of her owl, after she had taught the bird of darkness all manner of tricks. The magistrates were unable to afford her any redress ; but the owl has since been discovered, perched on a bench in the Court of Exchequer, and the old lady was seen hobbling briskly along Piccadilly in the direction of Hamilton- place. Orders have been suddenly received at Portsmouth for all the remaining officers and men of the Royal Marine Artillery, not embarked in any of his Majesty's ships, about 100 in number, to proceed to Plymouth, where they will be joined by about 300 of the Royal Marines of that division, to form part of a secret expedition, the command of which will be given to Major Park, C. B. The following officers of the Marine Artillery will join ; — Major Parry, at this division ; Capt. Burton, Capt. Grey, and Lieut. Mitford, who arrived here on Friday from Woolwich and Chatham in the Dee ; Lieut. R, Henry, who also arrived here on Friday from Woolwich, in the Messenger ; second Lieuts. H, W. Parke, at Plymouth, and G. Logan, at Chatham. They will take a brigade of guns and Congrevc rockets. Different opinions exist as to their probable destination.— Lisbon, Antwerp, and Minorca, being each named. We have no good reason for attaching any particular credit to either of these rumours in preference to the I others.— Portsmouth Herald. X July 22. THE TO WM. PARLIA MENTARY DRA WINGS. MR. HUNT. " Hie NIOER est." Mr. Hunt, who gives so much employment to the brothers of the brush, is entitled to a place in our gallery of drawings. He is, however, a vulgar and worthless subject for portraiture. His best recommendation is in his person. Imagine a hale, florid- faced man, near six feet high, between fifty and sixty, clad in a blue frock coat, white or striped waistcoat, white cravat, radical white hat, his lower extremities draped in kerseymere, with long white gaiters or top boots, bearing himself with an air of self- importance— and, in short, a very plausible Lord of a Manor. A bishop is not more studious of the propriety of his costume and purity of his lawn— whether it be that Mr. Hunt, like Robespierre, thinks that by this attention to his toilet, he inspires the democracy with more respect, or that he would prove, as the advertisements say, that the article in which he deals ( his blacking we mean) would not soil the nicest dress. At first, his entree into the House of Commons of an evening was rather embarrassed, either be- cause he felt himself not exactly in his place, or from the no- velty of the scene. No one, however, has a more unabashed front or more nerve than Mr. Hunt— that is, where he is threat- ened with no danger to life or limb. But he now enters the House with an imposing carriage, takes off his hat like a gentle- man, looks round him, takes his seat on the front bench with the Tory Opposition, divided from the Peels, Crokers, Scarletts, and Wetherells, only by the avenue which leads to the upper benches, puts on his hat, folds his arms, and listens to the proceedings with due dignity and nonchalance. It is not unamusing to observe the passing communications between Mr. Hunt and the leading politicians on both sides. The Member for Preston, in the early part of the evening, whilst petitions and other matters of brief consideration are before the House, is seen frequently in communication with the treasury bench. Lord Althorp answers his questions with frankness and simplicity; Mr. Spring Rice, on the other hand, is studiously civil, receiving him with a bland smile, and a profusion of words, either in the way of ministerial explanation, or of professions to oblige. There is one minister whom the blacking- man, with all his assurance, seems to shrink from addressing or approaching, and who eyes him askance, with a passing glance half antipathy and half sneer. It is the Irish Secretary, Mr. Stanley. Of the Tories, hardly one condescends to notice their ally— neither Sir Robert Peel nor Mr. Croker would, for the world, be seen to ex- change a syllable with him : and if Sir Charles Wetherell or Mr. Dawson give him a word or a cheer, it is only when he says the Whigs are the enemies of the people, or the people repudiate the Reform Bill. The figure of Mr. Hunt, associated with his notoriety, pro- mises much to a stranger seeing him for the first time when he rises to address the house. His heroic stature, vigorous limbs, active form, hair white with age or powder, hale complex- ion, and regular features, create a favourable prepossession j but, upon a moment's perusal of his face, this impresssion vanishes. His red descending gills denote the predominance of the animal; his eye is not lighted with the slightest gleam of thought or in- tellect, and his countenance undergoes no play from inward sen timent or emotion. His face changes from habitual dulness only to the grimace of some base passion or vulgar excitement. His voice is full and clear ; but he no sooner opens his mouth than all expectation, all curiosity, give way to disgust, at his vul- gar vocabulary, gross improprieties of speech, ignorant com- monplaces, and consummate effrontery. He has no knowledge on any given subject, no sagacity or shrewdness beyond his per- gonal traffic, no eloquence— not even physical excitement. He never uses even a vulgar phrase with point or effect, or is roused to that pitch of emotion or passion which, whatever the language, communicates itself to the hearer. He has neither the eloquence of nature nor of discipline. When laughed at on some occasion, he threatened to make the mockers " laugh with the wrong side of their mouths." This was well, if any thing followed; but the threat produced only impotent dulness. The repartee to one of the brothers of Sir Robert Peel, ascribed to him in the newspapers, was madefor him, not by him. Of the many Members of both Houses who are under obligation to the re- porters, his debt is by far the greatest. A speech of his faith- fully reported, would have all the ignorance without the humour of a clown in a farce. His fluency and assurance, whether the result of nature or of practice, never produce any thing beyond the most shallow and worthless common- places of discourse. In the House of Commons he is endured only from peculiar circum- stances. The Tories cheer his nonsense or his knavery, because he is a thorn in the side of Reform and the Whigs. Let him but cease to be useful to them, and he will soon find his level He will no longer catch the impartiality of the Speaker's eye j that right hon. gentleman will manifest a strong dimness of vision with respect to the particular place occupied by Mr. Hunt. But how has Mr. Hunt obtained the popular ascendant which has put him into the house of commons ? Simply by the same sort of low craft which has enabled him to make a fortune as a blacking manufacturer. He has had the art to turn the chaff both of his roasted corn and his speeches to account. His popu larity, too, is neither extensive nor secure ; it rests chiefly upon his share in that odious transaction called the Manchester mas- sacre. He conducted himself, both as chairman of the meeting and on his trial, with more firmness and capacity than could be expected of him, and he produced a salutary reform in the gaol to which he was consigned by his sentence. But his chief ad- vantage was derived from the popular hatred of a ministry of which he was regarded as the victim. He appealed to the elec- tors of Bristol, Somersetshire, Westminster, and London, and obtained no more support than might be obtained by any popular brawler; and there is every probability that Reform and the next election will condemn him to parliamentary death. The fact is, that he has no one qualification for a demagogue, excepting perhaps his unabashable effrontery. He possesses neither elastic animal courage, nor the eloquence of the passions, nor any other source of great popular influence over an assembled mul titude. A successful demagogue should have advantages of birth or education to give him a superiority over the people whilst he proposes to identify himself with them. Wilkes and Mirabeau had both these advantages. The very populace, so far from favouring, entertain a contemptuous jealousy of those who are really no better than themselves.

TORY JUVENILE JUBILEE. ( BY OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.) On Thursday evening, the 19th instant, being the anniversary of the crowning glory of the " god of their idolatry," George the Fourth, the leaders of the Tory aristocracy resolved to com- memmorate that " great and glorious event" by a gorgeous spectacle, the expense of which was defrayed from the secret service fund, levied by the Cumberland Club by a tax upon pen- sions. To render the fete perfectly unique, it was determined that all the elderly gentlemen and old women of the faction should renovate their frames, to fit them for the full enjoyment of the jubilee gaieties, and they accordingly went through the process of the mill, and were " ground young again," an opera- tion which their aptitude and experience in the mysteries of grinding rendered very easy to them. The spot selected for the brilliant scene of action was a large space of enclosed pleasure- ground in the Regent's- park. The Marquis of Hertford, who really looked nearly as young as when first his flaming red moustaches roused his Tory ire by changing—" oh, think what a change for his whiskers 1— to Grey.'" most condescendingly patronised the gala, and presided over the festivities. The grounds were brilliantly illuminated, and, as the reporters say, many articles of vertu were exhibited," though, truth to con- fess, the articles of virtue were rather rare. The Standard, and papers of that caste, would have us believe that there was a grand muster of some thousand and one tried and true Tories on the occasion ; but in fact the number did not exceed one hundred and eighty- four, being precisely that of the last minority on the second reading of the " bill." As it was surmised that the greater part of those assembled had not been cleansed and purified since the last scramble for the loaves and fishes, the noble president ordered a cordon sanitaire of tar barrels to be kept blazing during the evening, in order that no disagreeable effluvia from the clothes or persons of the subordinates should le " betwixt the wind and his nobility." This command was instantly obeyed, notwithstanding the protests of— 1st, the Duke of Cumberland, on the ground that the exhibition of such blazes only excited unpleasant notions of a " fiery furnace ;" 2dly, of Lord Wynford, who complained of the heat; of Lord Wharn- cliffe, who thought it threw too much light on their doings ; 3dly, of Wilson Croker, who, reeking from the Bull office, took it as a personal reflection; 4thly, of Sir Charles Wetherell, who denounced it as a burning shame thus to expose the unbrushed state of his habiliments, and the unblanched condition of his linen, hands, and face ; and 5tli, and lastly, of George Dawson, who opposed the expenditure on the score of economy, to which he had become a sudden though sincere convert. All these objections were overruled by the Duke of Wellington, who de- clared that all who could not " stand fire" were at liberty to go home again ; upon which the Earl of Winchilsea sullenly stalked away. The preparations being now completed, the juveniles began their gambols. Merriest amidst the gay group; figured Master Jacky Eldon, who came attired as the hero in the Merry Mourners, and flinging away the onion he had care- fully concealed in his handkerchief, he " regretted that the ladies had not been invited to partake of their hilarity, and hoped the omission did not arise from any remarks of his at the great baby house near Westminster- bridge. If it did, and he had his doubts on the subject, he must say the fault was not his, but rested with those rascally radical newspapers that told tales out of school; he should, however, take the papers home with him before he came to a decision." Jacky then danced a pas de deux with Master Wynford, who threw aside his crutches, and, though almost wild with joy, had the best of it. Charley Vane cut all sorts of imaginable capers on the green sward ; but being thwarted by some of his playmates, he flung himself in a passion on the ground, broke sundry variegated lamps, and was led back to the nursery literally bedaubed all over with grease. An urchin, with a gilt paper coronet, and bearing an unsightly bar in his arms, next curvetted about upon a white rocking- horse, brought from Hanover. Though born in England, he had a strong Munster accent, and was said to be a perfect spoiled child. But he soon broke his hobby to pieces. A young Yankee, called Copley, amused the company by various sleights of hand, being, as he boasted, the cleverest juggler of the day. He next challenged all competition at chess, and offered the long odds to " check- mate" any of the party. He introduced anew play of " Watch and Ward," not very unlike " Hunt the Slip- per." But in a match of foot- ball, he slipped just as he had " the ball at his foot," and hurt himself so much, that all his friends despair of his recovery. Master Arthur Wellesly amused himself by tearing slips of Orange- Peel to pieces, and Neddy Law, a great overgrown strippling ( who, from his well curled ringlets and Miss Mollyish habits, his playfellows nick- named " Ellen" Something) cut the strangest figure imaginable from trying to play Falstaff, in the last scene of The Merry Wives of Windsor, wherein his attempts to fasten the antlers on his head, convulsed the whole company with laughter. Master Wilson Croker played at leap- frog with the wheelbarrow. Little Monson was in the mumps for the loss of a rabbit- borough, which was levelled in laying the foundation of a grand national monument, but the lordling was appeased by getting a new doll to play with. Master Bobby Peel worked at a portable loom, throwing the shuttle with great dexterity, and weaving a web as fine and as flimsy as a spider's, but which changed colour at every turn of his hand, and seemed alternately orange, green, blue, yellow, purple, and jet black— in which last deep dye it settled. Master Pelham Clinton, from Newcastle, went through all the antics of Harlequin with great agility, but in striking the ground too hard to perform one of his favourite pantomimic tricks, he broke his bat; and young Charley Wetherell, who played the Clown to the very life, running suddenly against the sprig of nobility with his newly- invented fire- escape, nearly broke his head. Little Harry Goulburn officiated as tap- boy to a homebrewed- beer shop, but getting tired of the occupation, he took to playing the fool, in which he seemed quite a natu- ral. Master Derry Dawson built bridges of cards over the Re- gent's river. Little Lord Castlereagh was busily engaged with a new toy, which he called " packing select vestries," but he selfishly kept all the sport to himself. We were glad to observe poor Horace Twiss usefully employed on this occasion, in lighting the variegated lamps, and keeping them in order— a sign that all Tory sympathy and support is not withheld from this unfortu- nate person, whose readiness to do any little job they do p. ot pro- perly estimate. The amusements were kept up till a late, or rather an early hour ; but we have not space to emunerate any more of the diversions or characters, THEATRES, 4- 0. HAYMARKET THEATRE. On Thursday night a new comic drama was brought out here under the title of The Court Jester. It is a very close transla- tion of a French piece on the same subject, and is said to have been done into English by the younger Mr. Mathews. The plot is intricate and intervolved, without any very stirring interest about it, and the dialogue tame and monotonous, and perfectly innocent of any thing like originality of re- mark, or witty point. The following is a brief outline of the plot. The Duke of Ferrara, while yet a stripling, and serving in the army, is clandestinely married to Pau- line, the niece of a village pedagogue named Hugo Bambino, a most pompous pragmatical, and. in his own eyes, important personage. The Duke of Ferrara, after a brief honeymoon of five days, is obliged to quit Pauline, who is ignorant ofliis real rank, and join the army. A report shortly efter is conveyed to Pau- line that her husband has fallen in battle. He, however, is alive, has inherited the dukedom, and is presssed by his Minis- ters to choose a wife from some of the neighbouring courts. A bride is fixed upon, but the Duke's Chamberlain, for some reason only known to the original author or translator of the piece, is opposed to the match, and, in order to thwart the de- sign, contrives to throw Pauline in the way of the Duke, hoping that he may be smitten by her charms, and make her his mis- tress. He engages his secretary, Marini, to carry off Pauline from the house of his uncle, Hugo Bambino, for which purpose, it is necessary to get Bambino out of the way, and he is accord- ingly sent to Court, under the belief that lie is to be made a privy councillor ; but, on his arrival, heismistaken as a candidate for the office of Court Jester, which then happened to be vacant. The ludicrous confusion and laughable disappointment to which this mistake leads, form the chief drollery of the piece, and with Farren's acting as Hugo Bambino, its only element of success. Farren, as the pompous pedagogue, exerted himself with great effect, and by his clever and highly comic personation of the only character in the drama, for all the rest were mere nullities, secured the success of a production, which in less efficient hands would in all likelihood have met with a far different fate. STRAND THEATRE. This establishment has been signalized this week by the pro- duction of two new pieces. The first, a musical farce entitled, A Day in Paris, in which Miss C. Crisp exhibits considerable versatility of talent in personating five different characters ; to wit— Emily, the heroine of the piece, a female Fench barber, a groom or tiger, Miss Susannah Sophia Soplioniba Snowdrop, a sentimental lady susceptible of sentiment, and of the light elec- tricity of waltzing, and Captain Girouette, a French exquisite. This pleasant trifle was completely successful, and was followed by another novelty of minor merit and with minor success, entitled, Wheedling, or Love in a Snow Storm. The humour of this last piece is somewhat broad, and the principal character* were played in their broadest style by Keely and Mrs. Honey. VAUXHALL GARDENS. The most interesting ffite of the season, the Juvenile one, took place here on Thursday evening, when crowds of youthful and happy creatures rambled through the brilliantly illuminated walks, pleased with themselves and every thing they saw, and looking as if they were never to grow old. The proprietors did especial honour to their young visitants, by additional illumina- tions, appropriate devices, and the performances of the Boys' Band from the Military Asylum at Chelsea. The musical skill and just expression with which these young performers executed selections from Rosini, Weber, & c., was not the least attractive portion of the evening's entertainments. GRANTHAM.— The Royal Pantheon at Grantham continues every night most numerously and respectably attended. REV. E. IRVING.— At the Presbytery of Annan, last week, the case of Mr. Irving was taken into consideration ; and, in conformity to the instructions of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, a letter was prepared, and is immediately to be forwarded to Mr. Irving, with the following questions, which he is required to answer on or before the 1st day of September: — 1st, Are you the writer of the letter signed Edward Irving, in a periodical journal called The Morning Watch ?— 2d, Are you the author of a performance entitled the Baptism of the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost ?— 3d, Are you likewise the author of the performance defending, in the opinion of the Rev. Edward Irving, the scriptural duties and obligations of the Ministers of the Church of Scotland ?— If so, will yon express your readiness to retract those erroneous opinions or doctrines with equal pub- licity.— Edinburgh Advertiser. The effects of the storm on Thursday se'nnight at Margate were of a nature almost unprecedented in this country. Even those who were well acquainted with tropical climates, allowed that they had seldom seen one in which the hail was more des- tructive. Not less than 15,000 panes of glass are computed to have been destroyed by it in that town, while in the nearly ad- joining village of Birchington no injury whatever was done. In the new church 100 panes were broken. Scarcely one pane escaped in the front of the Ship Inn. The sky- light in the roof of the Hoy Inn having been broken in, the rain ran through the house in an impetuous torrent. In very many houses the in- habitants sat up all night.— Kentish Gazette. Thursday week the diploma of doctor in medicine was con- ferred on 112 gentlemen by the University of Edinburgh, of whom 26" are Scotch, 25 English, 51 Irish, 2 from the West Indies, 3 from America, 1 from Spain, 1 from the Cape of Good Hope, 2 from the East Indies, and 1 from the Island of Sarnia. On Wednesdey se'nnight a box, addressed to Alexander Gal- loway, Esq., banker, Airdrie, was left in the quarters of one of the carriers to this place in Glasgow, and as a matter of course, was regularly delivered to the gentleman to whom it was addressed the following morning. In expectation of some letter arriving to explain the nature of its contents, Mr. Galloway allowed the box to remain for several days, without attempting to open it f but no such explanation appearing to be forthcoming, he was in- duced to examine it cautiously, and by turning it upside down, discovered several particles of gunpowder dropping out. This excited his suspicions, he despatched it to a founder to open it; which being done by breaking the lid in the centre, a discovery was made which excited horror. The box, contained 41b. of gunpowder mixed with turpentine, a quantity of tow in the centra thereof, and a phial containing phosphorus and water. The in- ternal mechanism of the box was of the most murderous and fiendish description, and was evidently intended for the most dia- bolical purposes. Several wire springs, suspending the phial of phosphorus, were ingeniously fixed to the inner extremes of the box, connected with cords attached to the lid, and these again by screw nails to the bottom, so that by opening the lid in the usual manner, the cords operated on the wires, and instantly broke the phial containing the phosphorus, so as to ignite in a moment the other combustibles, and produce the dreadful consequences con- templated by the villainous projector.— Glasgow Free Press. EXTRAORDINARY MADNESS.— There is at present a man who believes himself dead ever since the battle of Austerlitz, where he received a serious wound. His delirium consists in that he can no longer recognise his own body. If he is asked how he is, he says, you ask how Pere Lambert is, but he is dead, he was killed at the battle of Austerlitz ; what you now see is not him, but a machine made in his likeness, and which has been very badly made. This man has frequently fallen into a state ot immobility and insensibility, which lasts for several days. Nei- ther sinapisms nor blisters ever cause the slightest pain. The skin lias been frequently pinched, and pierced with pins, without his being aware of it.— Does not this man offer a remarkable example of delirium manifestly influenced by want of sensibility in the skin, and want of well- marked modification of visceral sensibility ?— London Medical and Surgical Journal, " 1 THE TOWM. July 22. ROYAL AND FASHIONABLE MOVEMENTS. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. TO WN M ISC EL LANE A. The Duke of Gloucester and suite left town on Wednesday for Cheltenham. Among the latest fashionable arrangersents is said to be that of a dyeuner a lafourchette at the Countess Grey's, at East Sheen, to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, and a large circle of the beau monde. The Ducliess of St. Alban's establishment is thrown into con- sternation by the fact of the head cook, who officiated at her Grace's recent parties, having died since, after a few hours' ill- ness, of cholera. The Ladies' Bazaar and fete champetre, in aid of the Funds cf the Royal Dispensary for Diseases of the Ear, took place on Monday at Vauxhall Gardens, and was remarkably well attended. DEJEUNE AT CAEN WOOD.— One of the most splendid fetes champetre of the present season was given on Saturday by the Earl and Countess of Mansfield, at their delightful seat, Caen Wood, between Hampstead and Highgate. In consequence of the death of the Princess Louise, their Majesties, and the other members of the Royal Family who had promised to honour the entertainment with their presence, were necessarily absent. There were, however, above 400 of the principal Nobility and persons of distinction present. Iu the early part of the morn- ing the weather was unfavourable, but it gradually cleared off, and before noon was as fine as could be wished, and the grounds were unimpaired by the rails, affording a most agreeable pro- menade. The sumptuous " breakfast," was ready at half past five o'clock, and at seven o'clock dancing commenced. The principal part of the company did not retire until midnight. Thirteen apartments were thrown open. THE MARQUIS or HERTFORD'S FETE.— His Lordship's beau- tiful Villa, in the Regent's Park, presented a splendid scene on Tuesday night, on the occasion of his giving a Ball to between 500 and 600 of the Nobility and persons of distinction. The grounds were illuminated with a great degree of taste and splen- dour. The arrangements of the exotics, both in the principal corridors and walks, displayed much judgment; an extra num- ber were placed on the lawn, and so illuminated in variegated lamps as to resemble glow- worms ; the effect was pleasing in the • extreme. The grounds in the distance were illuminated with innumerable pots de feu, which afforded a powerful light, almost as vivid as day light. The following apartments were thrown • open :— the statue gallery, grand saloon, the grand range of four drawing- rooms, the Russian chamber, the ball room, the refresh- ment room, and the conservatory. Upon the arrival of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland a dis- charge of Bengal lights took place, and also occasionally through the night. The carriages began to arrive before 10 o'clock, and continued setting down until two ? dancing was supported with much spirit to the music of Weippert's full quadrille band. On tbe lawn was stationed a Pandean band. The company ex- pressed their admiration of the whole entertainment, and no- thing appeared wanting for their gratification. The beautiful conservatory and the fountain attracted much attention, as did also the orangery with the plants in high perfection. His Lord- ship, with a view to remove any fear on the ground of the pre- vailing epidemic, caused numerous tar- barrels to be burned to the windward of the grounds; this did not produce the most agreeable fragrance, but still most of the visitors approved of tbe precaution. The company did - not leave until a late hour in the morning.. The Duchess of Kent, and the Princess Victoria honoured part of the performance at Covent Garden Theatre with their presence on Thursday evening. At the Privy Council held by the King on Tuesday, Mr. Holt Mackenzie, and Mr. Henry Ellis, were introduced and sworn in Privy Counsellors, and took their seats at the Board accord- ingly. Should the report of the contemplated marriage of the beau- tiful Miss . Strachan and Lord Kmnaird ( Baron Rossie of the English Peerage) prove authentic, it is expected that tbe Mar- quis of Hertford will give his young charge a fortune of 200,000?. His Lordship was appointed guardian to this young lady and her sisters by the late gallant Vice- Admiral Sir Richard John Strachan, Bart., on whose dissolution without male heirs, some years ago, the title ( a Baronetcy of Novia Scotia) became ex- tinct. It has been rumoured that a Prince of the Royal Family of Naples was a suitor for the hand of Miss ( Matilda) Strachan during her residence in Italy. MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.— We understand that the lovely and accomplished second daughter of E. J. Littleton, Esq., is about to be united to Lord Newark, the eldest son of Earl Man- ners.— Wolverhampton Chronicle. The Duke de Bordeaux, the Duchess de Guiclie, ber sons Alssiuer, Auguste, and Alfred de Gramond, the Marquis de For- iresta, and a numerous suite, arrived at the George Hotel, in Inverary, by the north road, on the 10th instant, and remained in Inverary till the 12th, visiting the beautiful and romantic scenery, attended by D. Patteson, Esq.— On the morning of the 14th, the royal party left Inverary by tiie Glencroe and Tarbert Toad, on their return to Holyrood House.— Caledonian Mercury. WINDSOR.— The fusneral of Princess Louise took place on Monday at half- past eleven. Lady Howe was the chief mourner and the pall was supported by six maids of honour. Then fol- lowed Ladies Sydney, Fox, F. Fitzclarence Falkland, Erskine, and Erroll: some members of the Royal Family, Lords Erroll 3?. Fitzclarence, Ashbrook, and Falkland. Prayers for the dead were read in St. George's Chapel by the Dean of Windsor. The King and Queen were not in the procession, but the King pre- ceded it in a carriage to the Chapel. His Majesty was dressed in a purple robe. The Queen and the Duchess of Saxe Weimar did not leave the Castle. Sunday night their Majesties inspected the vault. The - coffin was covered with crimson velvet, and studded with silver nails. The following inscription was en- graved . on a brass plate :— Her Serene Highness Princess Louise Wilhelmina, Duchess of Saxe Weimar, eldest daughter of Duke Bernard and Duchess Ida of Saxe Weimar, and niece of their Majesties King William tlie Fourth and Queen Adelaide, and was born at Ghent, 31st March, 1817, and died at Windsor Castle 11th July, 18,12, in the 16th year of her age."

IRELAND. CHOLERA AMONG THE FLIES..— It is a singular fact, that wherever the cholera prevails the flies die. Never before were there seen so few flies in Liverpool as at the present moment Butchers, grocers, and provision shops are quite free from them Liverpool Journal. DEATH OF A CAT BY CHOLERA.— A few days since the ser. vant of a lady of the name of Scott, residing at Pentonville, was seized with the cholera morbus and was sent home by her mis- tress in order that she might be well attended to. The servant had not been gone long when it was discovered that the favorite tabby of of the lady was in great agonies, and not withstanding every effort of the lady, her favorite expired a victim to that malignant disease which is now unhappily so prevalent. On Thursday evening an inquest was held before Mr. Higgsin the governors room in tlie penetentiary, Millbank, on the bodies of Jane Sanderson, aged 36, Richard White, Aged 20, and Wil- liam Hadland, aged 20, three of the prisoners confined in that institution. After hearing the evidence of Dr. Wade, the sur geon of that institution, and other witnesses, the Jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to their deaths by Cholera Morbus. Immediately after the inquest, it was announesed that another of the prisoners had died of the same disease. We Understand that there are still several cases remaining in the in- stitution. Precautions have been taken to prevent its spread. By our Continental friends preserved ginger is recommended as a preventive to an attack of cholera. The essence of ginger, in the form of wine, must be far superior: this no one can better elucidate than an old manufacturer of the article— i. e., Mr. Taylor, 17, Lower Holborn, opposite Furnival's Inn.— Single bottles, as samples, may be had ; which will satisfy the best judges this wine will bear competition with any foreign erticle. LEINSTER CIRCUIT.— Thirty or forty persons were indicted for tumultuously and riotously assembling about mounds or hills of earth, which they had some time previously erected, and there asserting the right of the people to contravene the laws of the country when oppressive and burdensome. They were all found guilty, and sentenced to punishments proportioned to their dif- ferent degrees of offence. The leader is to be imprisoned for two years, and pay a fine of 501. ; the rest to less imprison ments and less fines. ANTI- TITHE STOCK PURSE.— The different parishes of this county, but more especially those of the barony of Forth, are proceeding vigorously with the establishment of the stock purse fund. All the parishes in Forth and Bargy are coming forward ; and preparations are making by the Political Union of Edermine to hold an important meeting on the banks of the Slaney on the subject. Tacumshane has performed its duty ; and a meeting will be held there on Sunday to take Mr. Stanley's new bills into consideration ; and to prevent their adoption by timely remon- strance.— Wexford Independent. Owing to the delay in obtaining the new loan for carrying on the Wellesley Bridge Work, and the present funds being nearly exhausted, Mr. Spring Rice has from himself kindly advanced the sum of 1,000?. to prevent the poor artizans and labourers, now engaged on the work, from being thrown out of employ- ment.— Ibid. The Orangemen had their senseless exhibitions in all the northern parts of Ireland on the 12th. The Orangemen of Cavan were entertained in Lord Farnham's Park on cold beef and whiskey. In the afternoon Mr. Porter, son of Lord Farn- ham, entered the Court- house, dressed in the insignia. The Chief Justice immediately ordered him out of Court. In Dun- drum, Enniskillen, Newry, Virginia, Tanderagee, Tinahely, Charlemont, Newtownlimavady, & c., there were no riots, and, except one death, that of one of the Orange party near Newry, none of the murders customary on these absurd exhibitions. Bills have been found by the Grand Jury of Monaghan against Messrs. Gartlan, Besmingham, Marcus Costello, and M. W. Reddy, for aiding and attending at a meeting lately held at Car- rickmacross, in that county, assembled for the purpose of evading and resisting the payment of tithes. The application of these gentlemen to postpone their trial to the next Assizes has been granted. Warrants have been issued against more of the leaders of that meeting, who are not yet amenable.— Dublin Times. OUTRAGE AND ATTEMPT TO MURDER A LADY AT RANELAGII — A most atrocious outrage was perpetrated on Monday night, at Ranelagh, in the residence of an elderly and respectable lady named Way, who lives in a very secluded state ; keeps no inmate or servant in her lonely dwelling, and is rarely visited by young or old. Three men knocked at Mrs. Way's, at six o'clock, and said Mr. White, painter, had sent them to work for her as carpenters. On hearing this she incautiously allowed them to enter the house. The moment the door was closed these cowardly ruffians attacked the old lady of eighty in llie mostbrutal and barbarous manner. Their object, ap- parently, was to murder her, and then plunder her house of all the property which is stated to be in it. They knocked her down, trampled on, and tried to force her into a wine bin, near the kitchen. She screamed violently, which fortunately alarmed the villians, and they fled shortly afterwards. Two of the robbers were soon after taken into custody and recognized by the old lady. The prisoners, after undergoing a minute examination before the Magistrates of College- street office, were remanded to Newgate for further ex- amination, Mrs. Way being too great a sufferer from the injuries received to attend.— Dublin Times. On Tuesday evening two apprentices of Mr. Sparry, butcher, Rosoman- street, Clerkenwel), quarrelled in their master's shop, and the younger, a lad of about 16 years of age, having been struck repeatedly by the other, seized a large knife with which steaks are cut, and plunged it into the left side of the other, inflicting a despe- rate wound just below the ribs. The wounded man was immediately conveycd to the station- house, in Upper Rosoman- street, where he was attended by two surgeons; and, although the knife had pene- trated the body more than six inches, hopes were entertained of his recovery. The offender, who did not attempt to escape, was taken before Mr. Sergeant Sellon, at Hatton- Garden office, and remanded to the New Prison until the fate of the wounded man is known. The quarrel which led to this result originated in a dispute about the ownership of a halfpenny ballad ! A most melancholy and destructive fire broke out on Friday, about 10 o'clock in the forenoon, at the town of Bradninch, near Exeter, by which 48 to 50 houses were entirely destroyed in two hours. An old man lost his life, aud many others were severely burned. It is supposed to have originated from a chimney in a baker's shop. Tuesday morning, about half- past three an unfortunate female, weft attired, flung herself from oue of the recesses of Waterloo Bridge, and was drowned. COOK, THE MURDERER.— The Assizes will commence at Leicester on the 4th of August, and the trial of Cook, the mur- derer of M. r. Paas, is expeeted to take place on 6th of the same month. We understand that Sir Walter Scott is certainly somewhat better, and when collected, which he is usually for an hour iu the morning, his favourite amusement is to have Crabbe read to him. The choice portion of Mr. Hoadley's Library, sold by Evans, during three days in the last week, produced upwards of two thousand pounds. Many Of the books nearly doubled the price given for them by the worthy proprietor. The first folio of Shakspeare, although it wanted Ben Jonson's Verses on the Por- trait, and the leaf containing Digges's Verses to Shakspeare's ' Memory, and the List of Actors, produced fifty- one pounds ; lhe Magna Charta, sixty- three pounds; Roman de la Rose, ihirty- three pounds; Dibdin's Bibliomania, in six volumes, llustrated, seventy- three pounds ; and the Bibliographical De- cameron, twenty- one pounds; Petrarca Sonetti, first edition, twenty- four pounds ; Les Grandes Chroniques de France, fifty • five pounds ; the Works of Adrian and John Collaert, sixty- six pounds ; and the Drawings relating to York Cathedral, one hundred pounds. TOWNSEND AND THE DUKE OF YORK.— The following anec- dote, illustrative of the free and easy manners of this well- known legal character, may be depended upon. The late Duke of York meeting him one morning on the parade in St. James's Park, good humouredly inquired if there was any news ? " Nothing particular," said Townseud, " except a little scandal about your Royal Highness." " What is that ?" inquired the Duke. " Why," said the veteran, seizing his interrogator by the but- ton, " They do say that you have been losing pretty heavily at I Brookes' lately." " Well, Townsend, I don't mind what they " That's right, that's right. Your Royal Highness would be a d d fool if you did."— Ihe Original. The conservative clique are perfectly desperate. There is an universal apathy shown to them by all the towns and boroughs that have acquired representatives under the reform bill; and even the counties, where some of the rich boroughmongers fan- cied they had strong claims, because of their wealth, seem in- clined to desert them. Their " men of all work" have little chance of being returned to a reformed parliament. PUT TO HIS SHIFTS.— A gentleman, in passing through a small town in England, forgot a shirt at the inn where he had put up during the night; and, missing it on his arrival at the next stage, sent back a memorandum of his loss to the inn, and received the following satisfactory reply from the chamber- maid : " Dear Sir— I hope you are not hurt— I'll tell the truth— you need not doubt it; I made a shift of your new shirt, And you must make a shift without it." ILL AND WELL.— When the prisoners confined in Bridewell, Blackfriars, heard that all those who were labouring under the effects of illness were to be released, there was scarcely one to be found in the different wards who was free from the " sto- mach- ache." It having been subsequently announced that all who were ill were to remain— in older that the cholera should not be dispersed over the metropolis by their being suffered to go at large— the pains and aches immediately left them, and the inmates of the Bridewell became, all at once, the most healthy prisoners in Christendom. Most of the judges and counsel left London on Monday for the circuits. All the Courts adjourned on Saturday till the end of October. An official notice from Lord Howick, by desire of Lord Gode- rich, has reached Lloyd's Coffee- house, acquainting the mercan- tile shipping interest that the local authorities of New Bruns- wick have ordered to be levied a small tax upon emigrants, pay- able by the masters of the ships conveying them from Europe ; which act has been sanctioned by his Majesty in Council. A few days ago M. George Buder, formerly master tailor of the Court of Louis XVI., died at the Hague, at the great age of 100 years and nine weeks. The Governorship of Stirling Castle, by the death of Earl Donoughmore, the Governorship of Londonderry, by the death of General Hart, and of Pendennis Castle, by the death of Colonel Fenwick, are vacant. Not a provincial paper has been published for the last fort- night the columns of which are not, more or less, crowded with accounts of the rejoicings which have taken place on the passing of the Reform Bill. The funeral of Townsend, the Bow- street officer, took place on Tuesday morning, at St. Peter's Church, Chelsea. He is said to have died worth 25,000?., which is invested in the Funds. CASE OF SOMERVILLE.— We understand that his Majesty's Government have resolved thoroughly to investigate the charge against Major Wyndham, of the Scotch Greys, arising out of the case of private Somerville. The investigation is to take place at Weedon barracks, Northamptonshire. The Right Hon. Robert Grant left town on Monday to conduct the investigation, in his official capacity of Judge- Advocate General. Somerville, of course, will be the principal witness, as the main part of the charge must necessarily turn on the conversation which took place between him and Major Wyndham, on the subject of the letter which he wrote to the Editor of the Dispatch. The in- qniry on the part of Somerville will be conducted by Mr. Har- mer, whose assistant, Mr. Wooler, left town early in the week to arrange the evidence. Some anonymous Christian friend gave 500?. to the Home Missionary Society, on June 25, and on the same day the same sum to each of the following :— the British and Foreign Bible Society, the Religious Tract Society, and the London Mission- ary Society.— Christian's Penny Magazine. Lord Minto goes out as our Ambassador to Berlin ; the Hon. Henry Fox as Secretary of Legation to Turin ; and Lord Nugent is certainly to be the new Commissioner of the Ionian Isles.— The whole of these appointments will give the greatest satisfac- tion to the public, it being of the utmost importance that the existing Government of England should be represented in fo- reign Courts by men not only of general ability and experience, but well known for their attachment to freedom, and possessing the confidence of the British public. Mr. Babbage, in his admirable work on The Economy of Manufactures, has a new plan of conveying the mail. The immense revenue of the Post- office would afford means of speedier conveyance ; the letter- bags do not ordinarily weigh a hundred pounds, and are yet conveyed in bulky machines of some thousand times the weight, drawn by four horses, and delayed by passengers. The rail- road and the steam- carriage will probably soon relieve the speculator. Mr. Babbage pro- poses the erection of pillars along each line of road ; these pil- lars to be connected by inclined wires or iron- rods, along which the letters inclosed in cylinders, attached to the rod by rings, are to slide; persons stationed on these columns are to forward the cylinders from each point, after having extracted the con- tents belonging to their own station. In this manner it is cal- culated that a letter might be sent ( from pillar to post) to the farthest limits of the land in the course of a very small portion of time— from London to York probably in an hour or two. In the absence of these pillars, and in the interior districts, it is suggested that church- steeples, properly selected, might answer the purpose ; and in London the churches might be used for the circulation of the twopenny post. MUSICAL PUN.— The other day, a friend, who could never resist a pun if it pop into his head, was sadly bored by a mi- serable fifer, who was screaming most dreadfully out of time and tune, proposed the following conundrum of the Billy Black school:— What common colloquial expression would be most applicable to this fellow ? to which none of us being able to find the solution, the propounder observed that it was " O, fie for shame 1" ( O fifer shame!) PEMMEKIN.— Does the reader know what Pemmekin is ? Should he not be so far informed, we will tell him, that Pem- mekin is a name given to the previously ignominate mass formed for the nourishment of the sailors who went under Captain Parry's command to the North Pole— a concentration of the nutritious qualities of meat, so powerful, that 50 pounds of beef make about a square inch of it— as much of it, scraped, as will lie on a shilling, will feed a fellow six feet high and four feet broad for 22 hours. Its great merit is, of course, its portability, and its utility must be evident to the most inveterately preju- diced landsman, when he comes to consider that Jack can carry a quarter of a bullock in his tobacco- box, and stow away half a dozen hams and a fillet of veal in the fob of his trowsers. Liverpool Courier. The Members of the Conservative Club, No. 2, Carlton- ter- race, have ( according to a correspondent) received notice from, the Commissioners of Woods and Forest, to quit forthwith. It appears, from the leases granted to those residing on Carlton- terrace, that no house is to be converted into a club- house. The " clique" are extremely dissatisfied with the determination of the Commissioners ; especially as they have been unable to provide themselves with a suitable residence in which to hold their secret meetings. It has been proposed by some of the party to dissolve the club entirely ; and we understand meetings to that effect have been held— the result has, however, not transpired. AN IMPERIAL HUNTRESS.— Previously to the return of Don. Pedro from the Brazils, the Empress was to be met frequently in different parts thereof in her sporting attire, and with all the paraphernalia of the sports of the field ; or, to use the Greaifc Bard's style, " Caparisoned, mounted for warrior- deed." When last seen in this costume she was on a fine horse, which: she rode en cavalier, disdaining the side- saddle, and was flanked | by servants on either hand, bearing fowling- pieces, and suit- rounded by her dogs. Her hat was richly surmounted with, ostrich feathers ; her palefreniers were highly laced, but still the whole turn out was that of Imperial Majesty incog. COUNTER MARCH OF INTELLECT.— During the recent scien- tific Congress at Oxford, Mr. Farraday was exhibiting privately to a few friends, his experiment of obtaining the electric spark from the magnet. While this was proceeding, the head of one of the colleges ( Dr. T.) entered, and inquired what was going on. He was told that the Professor of the Royal Institution was demonstrating a proof of his late very important discovery-,, the nature of which was explained to the Reverend Doctor. " I am sorry to hear of it," said the very sapient rector; " I am exceedingly sorry to hear of it; It will only put new arms into the hands of infidels.'" The Duke de Reichstadt is not yet dead. His case, however, seems hopeless. It is said that a French artist was recently admitted to the presence of the young Prince, and on requesting that his Highness would honour his album with a souvenir, he wrote down the following :—" Vous retournez it Paris ; dites 5 la Colonne ( the Column of the Place Vendome I) que je rneurs en regrettant de ne pouvir l'embrasser 1"—( You are going back to Paris ; tell the Column I die regretting that I am not able to embrace it I) The Royal Library has just purchased the rich collection of antique medals made by M. Edouard de Cadalvfino, during his three years' tour in the East. In addition to the rare Greek coins in this collection, there are upwards of an hundred im- perial golden medals, which will, in a great measure, repair the loss occasioned by the late robbery. This is the second collection with which M. de Cadalvine has supplied the Royal Library, which, notwithstanding the extent of the robbery, still possesses the most complete cabinet in Europe.— Paris Paper. Eight hundred and fifty pounds admission money was taken at the Surrey Zoological Gardens, ou the two days of the Fancy Fair. NOT so BAD AS EXPECTED.— In the melo- drama of the Caravan, a dog named Carlo played a principal character. Dig- num, the singer, was also in the same piece. One evening the latter went up to Sheridan, and, with a grave face, informed him that he had some bad news to relate. Sheridan eagerly inquired what it was ; to which Dignum answered, that he felt himself so hoarse as to be unable to get through the songs. Sheridan, seizing him by the hand, rejoined, " My friend, you have re- lieved my mind of a weight; I thought the dog had been taken ill." Sir Thomas Tyrwliitt has resigned the office of Usher of the Black Rod, and Sir Augustus Clifford is appointed his successor. The salary derived from fees is about 4,000?. per annum. Sir Thomas, who is of the same age as his late Majesty George IV.,. held the office for many years ; during which two accessions and two coronations took place, on all which occasions large per. quisites fell to his lot. " That's a fine stream for trouts, friend," observed a pisca- torial acquaintance, the other day, to a genuine " Sprig" from the emerald isle, who was whipping away with great vigour at a well- known and favourite pool. " Fait, and it must be that same, sure enough," returned Pat, " for deuce a one of ' em ' 11 stir out of it." The landed property in Berks and Kent, of the deceased Lord Amesbury, descends to his nephew and son- in- law, Capt. Dundas, R. N., who married Lord Amesbury's only child. The first traces of the fable about the Pelican feeding its young with its blood, says a new penny aspirant to public favour ( Pin- nock's Guide to Knowledge), are to be found in the writings of some of the early fathers of the church, and it was eagerly adopted by the heralds of later days, whose unbounded credulity was ever on the watch for the marvellous, in natural history more especially. In the course of the 18th century, it was not uncommon for the English merchants at Aleppo to obtain intelligence of the arrival of their vessels at Scanderoon by means of carrier pigeons. Whatever could be comprised in a few words was written on a slip of paper, and fastened to the pigeon, which immediately took flight. It was usual to send down the pigeons from Aleppo, that they might always be ready at the port. Maillet, the French Consul in Egypt, relates, that a merchant of Aleppo, having accidentally killed one of these feathered messengers, was the first to learn that a scarcity of galls prevailed in England, and, profitting by the intelligence, he made a speedy speculation by which he gained 10,000 crowns. Amongst the Eastern poets, one of the best known for his erotic strains is Amarou— rather an appropriate name for a lover. The Hindoo admirers of his verses attribute his superior know- ledge of the nice affections of the heart to the fact, as they allege it, of his having been an amorous young female before he was changed into the form in which he was known as a poet;— this is at least a poetical fancy. On Saturday, in Paris, the temperature reached between 95 and 96 degrees of Fahrenheit. On Sunday the same thermo- meter marked only 80. The Landers, it seems, have sailed from Liverpool on a com- mercial expedition to the Niger; we hope, therefore, soon to hear that they are landers in Africa. The receipts of the Paris theatres, in the month of June, were — Porte St. Martin, 57,740f. ; Academie Royal de Musique, 36,560f.; Vaudeville, 36,249f.; Theatre Francais, 26,243f.; Palais Royal, 23,743f.; Gymnase, 19,884f.; Variety, 19,750f.; Gaite, 18,302f.; Ambigu, 13,080f.; Folies Dramatiques, 7,895f.; Pantheon, 5,973f.;— total, 365,424 francs, about 14,500/.— Cabinet de Lecture. MADEMOISELLE MARS.— Most of our readers are probably aware that Mademoiselle Mars was a warm Buonapartist ( as the admirers of Buonaparte were termed after his abdication), and that she took every opportunity to let the world know her opi- nions. Upon one occasion, after the restoration of Louis XVIII. the garde du corps, which was composed of nltra- royalists, were marching through the streets of Paris, and happened to hiss the carriage of the above lady. " Ah 1" said one, " there is that Buonapartist, Mademoiselle Mars 1" " Yes," replied another, " there she is, leaning back in her carriage, as though she were afraid to look at us." " What 1" observed Mademoiselle Mars, " what have the garde du corps to do with Mars ?" This sharp retort to men who wore their military garb for show, and not for service, arrested them effectually from making further ob- servations.— The Original. 1 1 July 22. T H E T O W M, 2 3 9 LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE- CHANCELLOR'S COURT. ATTORNEY GENERAL V. GILPIN.— Mr. Bethel! stated that this case came before the Court oil the petition of the Dean and Chap- ter of Christ Church, Oxford. The facts were shortly these In the year 1775, a person of the name of Lee, residing at Upper Layton, in the county of Essex, devised certain estates to the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church, Oxford, for tbe purpose of found- ing an anatomical school in the College. The professor was to have a salary of 100/. ayear, and was to deliver lectures on anatcmy at certain periods. The founder also directed tbat 40/. a year should be expended in procuring anatomical preparations, and two human adult bodies for the purposes of dissection, which were to be pro- cured by the professor, under tbe penalty of sacrificing a large por- tion of bis salary. By an order of the Court, tbe salary of the professor was increased lo 150/. a year, and the sum to be ex- pended in procuring bodies and preparations to 80/. a year. Dr. Kidd, the present professor, continued duly to deliver the lectures, but according to the law, as it at present stood, not being able to procure bodies for the purposes of dissection without great legal responsibility, he had used in their stead wax figures, which the Learned Counsel observed were now very generally in use, and which be should think would answer every purpose in an enlightened place like Oxford. This, however, not being in accordance with the will of the founder, it became necessary, for tbe indemnity of the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church, to have a declaration of the Court, justifying them in continuing the payments to the pro- fessor; and the present petition was for the purpose of procuring • that declaration. Provision also was made in the gift of the foun- der for the salary of a demonstrator, hut as the use of wax bodies had superseded his duties, the petition prayed for tbe discontinu- ance of that salary. His Honour thought tbe application an exceedingly proper one, and made the declaration asked by the petition. SUMMER ASSIZES. OXFORD CIRCUIT.— ABINGDON. DARING Bu RGLARY.— Tuesday, Edward Green, aged 20, Samuel Green, aged 25, Thomas Lincoln, alias White, aged 26, and James Morris, aged 21, were charged with having on the 5tli of June, committed a daring burglary and robbery in the house of Jane Robinson, a venerable old lady, at Cookham. Mr. Justice conducted the prosecution. The prisoners had no Counsel. The facts of the case are these : On the night of tbe robbery the prisoner Lincoln applied to Barfour, a blacksmith residing near Maidenhead, and he made him an instrument called a jimmy, such as are generally used by housebreakers to break open houses and boxes ; they then proceeded to the prosecutrix's house, and effected an entrance into the premises by removing tlie back door; the pro- secutrix at that time was in the act of getting into bed, and the only persons in the house with her were her daughter and two female servants, who were in bed and asleep. Hearing the noise of foot- steps approach her room, and observing a light under the door, she called out who's there?" A voice answered, " we have come for jour money or your life," and she was desired to open the door; she said she could not open the door, and it was immediately broken open, and three men entered ; one of them had an axe in his hand, which he flourished over her bead, saying your money oryour life; the old lady called to her daughter to get up, which she did • and sprung the rattle out at the window ; one of the prisoners in- stantly seized her by the neck, and throwing lier on the bed, threat- ened to strangle her if she made any noise. Mrs. Robinson then gave the prisoners four sovereigns; they searched her pockets, and took away her silver spectacles, and some keys, which opened her drawers, from which they took half- a- guinea, an Indian coin, and several crowns, half- crowns, shillings, and sixpences, a dozen tea- spoons, several table- spoons, & c. They also broke open some trunks, and among other things they carried off two silk handker- chiefs, which were afterwards found on the prisoners, together with the half- guinea, the Indian coin, spectacles, & c. They next went Into the servants' room, and having ordered them to gel out of bed, • compelled them to go into the kitchen and supply them with some- thing to eat, and afterwards into tbe cellar, from which place they selected a bottle of wine and a bottle of gin, part of which they drank before they left the house. Miss Robinson was obliged to accompany them, to see that they were furnished with the best ac commodation that the house afforded. Edward Green and Morris when taken into custody, admitted having been concerned in the robbery. The prisoners declined saying anything in their defence, except Lincoln, who said he was not there. The Jury almost immediately returned a verdict of guilty. Samuel Green and Thomas Lincoln were then removed from the bar, and Edward Green, James Morris, and Daniel Piggott, were charged with having, on the night of the 31st May last, committed a robbery in the house of Jonathan Brunsden. The prosecutor, after detailing the circumstances of the robbery, identified the prisoners, as well as the property which was found upon them, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The five prisoners were then put to the bar, and The Learned Judge having put on the black cap, addressed them in the most impressive manner, and assured them that such was the nature of their offences that they could not hope for mercy here He then passed the awful sentence of the law upon them. They all appeared to be greatly affected, and in the most awfu[ - silence they were removed from the bar. CHARGE OF ASSAULT, WITH INTENT TO COMMIT A RAPE.— The following case came on the first thing on Wednesday morning, by special appointment; it excited the most intense interest. The accused was a respectable attorney at Reading; he was agent to Mr. Hallet at the last election, and is now agent for Mr. Walter, the present candidate for the county of Berks. Mr. C. Phillips ( with whom was Mr. Carrington), stated the case for the prosecution:— The complainant in this case was Harriet Carvil; and although her husband was only a florist and gardener, she was herself a woman of good education and acquirements, and was altogether above her station. The prisoner was Mr. Weedon, a. solicitor, of Reading, and up to tbe time ofthe event occurring had always borne the character of an honourable man. Tbe case almost entirely depended on the evidence of the lady herself, and he ( Mr. Phillips) would therefore call her before the Jury, and from her manner and statement, they would be able tojudge whether or not the offence had been committed, or whether she was coming for- ward to perjure herself, and blast her own character, by making statements necessarily so much to her shame. Mrs. Harriet Carvil, the complainant— In the summer of last year Mr. Weedon was employed by my husband as his attorney, Mr. Weedon came to my house frequently when my husband was away at his work, as I principally managed the business in which he was engaged. My husband had been unfortunate, and Mr. Weedon had alibis affairs in his hands. I recollect Mr. Weedon coming to my house with a letter at the latter end of May, before the 25th. I was in very ill health ; he put the letter on the table, and explained to me the contents. He then began to take liber- ties with me ( tbe witness here described the first attempt stated to have been made by Mr. Weedon) ; his language was very indecent. The second occurrence was a few days after, also before the 25th May; the third was between the 2d and 8th June. ( The witness described what took place on both these occasions, and appeared much affccted during the relation.) Cross- examined— Mr. Weedon is a married man, and has a large family of young children ; I told my husband of the attempt that had been made about a fortnight after the last occurrence ; I could not tell him with propriety before, as Mr. W. had all our • business in his hand, and I was afraid my husband would be angry with him; Mr. Harmer, of London, is one attorney for the prosecu- tion ; I told the maid servant of all the attempts after the last had • been made, but not before. Mr. Talfourd made a most eloquent address to the Jury on behalf • of the defendant. He was a most respectable man, and an old and • only friend of his ( Mr. Talfourd's), and their parents had likewise ' been acquainted. The learned counsel commented on the evidence of Mrs. Carvil, and submitted that it was perfectly unsubstantiated against Mr. Weedon, and he much regretted that lately there had been so many prosecutions for similar offences against professional men, some of whom had afterwards been elevated to the bench and tbe peerage. Thirty witnesses, amongst whom were Dr. Mitford ( father of the celebrated authoress, and chairman to the magistrates), the Rer. H. H. Millman, late professor of poetry at the University of Oxford, J. B. Monck, Esq., at present a candidate for the representation of the county, and many bankers and barristers i n the town of Rea- ding, spoke to the high character of Mr. Weedon as an honourable man. The learned JUDGE, in summing up, remarked that tbe evidence of the husband and seivant maid, which was the most material part of the case, had been omitted on the part of the prosecution. The Jury then found the prisoner Not Guilty, which verdict was received with every demonstration of satisfaction by all present. NORFOLK CURCUIT.— BUCKINGHAM. Wednesday William Aidridge was indicted for having, in Feb- ruary last, set fire to a barn and two stacks of hay, tbe property of William Ashley, of Iver. The principal witness against the prisoner was bis sister- in- law, who proved the crime to the satisfaction of the Jury, who in a few minutes returned a verdict of Guilty, and sentence of death was im- mediately passed on him. He left the bar very little affected by his perilous state. SURREY SESSIONS. Monday Sarah Hill, aged 27, was indicted for stealing 17s. in silver moneys, a knife and a key, from the person of Wm. Clever- done, his property. The prosecutor, who said he was a " Yorkshireman coomd up to Lunnun/' gave his evidence in a manner, which convulsed the Court with laughter, to the following effect:—" I knows the lass, but I only had a short acquaintance wi' her. One night ( the 24th of June) aboot twelve o'clock, I was a ganging down tbe Borough, and she com and cotchd hold o' moy arm, and axed me to gi' her some gin. I wur aboot three sheets in the wind, but 1 knowd what ~ wur at, and I tould her I wanted nooan of her coompany. Just as I got through Mint- gate, she put her hand in mny pocket, and grabbed all moy niooney. ( Laughter.) You maun laugh, but she did thou' as sure as my name's Bill Cleverdone. ( Loud laughter.) Well, you know, I sings out for the watch; the poltisman cum'd and took the money out ' un her hand under tbe lamp- post, loik you know." ( Laughter.) The prisoner cross- examined the prosecutor very minutely, and asked him if another lady was not in his company 1 Prosecutor— No; there wur one cum'd up to you and laid hold me the other side, but she made her lucky. Prisoner— Didn't you promise to make it up! No; you sent some o' your friends to me, and they swore they'd kill me if I did not keep away ; but I suppose I must foight through it as well as I can. ( Laughter.) Police- constable, M. 124, watched the prisoner, and was close behind her when she committed the offence. He immediately seized her, and found the money, with the knife and key, in her hand. The prisoner denied the charge. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and The Court, understanding that the prisoner was an old offender, sentenced her to seven years' transportation. POLICE. MANSION HOUSE. CURIOUS APPLICATION.— Iu the course of Monday, a gentle- man applied to the Alderman for his advice how to act rela- tive to a talkative parrot, belonging to his next door neighbour. The applicant said that the parrot talked incessantly from morning until night, and his noise was so discordant and shrill as to operate most unpleasantly on his organs of hearing. Applicant had had an interview with the lady to whom the bird belonged on the sub- ject, but all the satisfaction he could obtain was an expression of astonishment on the lady's part that he conld be a man so void of taste as not to be delighted, instead of being provoked, at the sweet talk" of her favourite parrot. If the bird was placed in one of the back rooms, or even in a front room up stairs, the jar- gon which it sent forth and its loud screech would not be half so bad ; but when it was suffered to hop about the front parlour win- dow sill, mimicking the voice of the human species, there was no bearing it; and he ^( applicant) was determined if possible to abate the nuisance, and for that purpose had come to the Mansion- house. The Alderman, laughing, said he was not aware there was any law to prevent a lady from keeping a talkative parrot, if she liked; it was possible that the lady, unlike most of her sex, was not fond of talking herself, and, therefore, had provided herself with a sub- stitute. He would advise the applicant to coax the lady over. MARLBOROUGH STREET. FOREIGN AFFRAY.— Monsieur Antonio Andre Ramage, atravel- ling French merchant, was charged with having kicked and cuffed the body of Mynheer Von Reider, an importer of German curio- sities. The cause of the quarrel, as well as could be gathered from the voluble jargon of the complainant, who, however, seemed to pride himself on his proficiency in the English language, appeared to have arisen from some disparaging remarks which Mynheer Von Reider applied to the country of Monsieur Ramage. The dispute ran high, and as Monsieur's stock of English was by no means so extensive as Mynheer's, he, in return, for the " dam your eye" of his antagonist, placed his hand in a significant manner on that part of his person where, according to Sir Hudibras, honour is lodged. This was instantly resented by the German, who seized a glass of hot whisky and water, and flung it in his face, the pain of which caused the Frenchman to caper about the room like a dancing- master, and, as he said, " to cause both his eyes to make very most water." The German put himself in a fighting attitude, and the Frenchman consented to decide the matter according to the English fashion. They both stripped and came into the middle of the room, where they stood swinging their arms about like the sails of a mill for a quarter of an hour, without inflicting any blows on each other. At last the German having by chance caught the French- man a slap with the back part of his hand, the Frenchman rushed on him, and, being the " stronger vessel," threw him down, and himself upon him, in order to improve his advantage, according to the Continental fashion, by thumping the German's head against the floor. This being against one of the fundamental rules of " fair play," the bystanders interfered, and the discomfited German, having got the worst of the bout, brought his rival before the Ma- gistrate, to balance the account. " Pardonnez moi, Sare," said the Frenchman, gesticulating in the most energetic manner, " dis brigand sal vant to murder- a me. He call me von great damn liar, and say he sat knock me. I say, hola, I do not know a great deal ' box,' but I sal knock vit you. Den, Sare, he knock von box in my belly, and von, two, in my nose ; so I knock his bottom over top, and every body say, Hah ! very good, box him veil vid your foot, and de certainement I have fight him very well." Mr. Dyer said, from what he could understand of the matter, that the complainant had been tho aggressor, and, therefore, he should advise the parties to retire, and settle the matter out of Court, or he should hold both to bail. This suggestion was complied with, and the parties made up the matter without the help of tbe Magistrate. MARYLEBONE. Wednesday, a genteel looking young woman, named Valency, stated to the Magistrates that on Sunday morning, when dressed in her best attire, she was walking past the residence of Lord Ducie, and on a sudden was almost frightened out of her senses by re- ceiving from one of his lordship's windows, a quantity of soup, which nearly blinded lier. On recovering her eye. sight, she was assailed with the hue- and- cry of a number of persons, whose at- tention was attracted by her grotesque appearance, the soup hang- ing like so many icicles around her bonnet and in the folds of her dress- In this plight she waded through the mob, and made the best of her way home, with the soup dripping from her dress, and the sun shining on it, to the no small amusement of many persons, who seemed to delight in her misfortune, and frequently hallooed after her, " There she goes ! what a shocking bad bonnet!" The next ( Jay she called at Lerd Ducie's, and, on inquiry of the house- keeper, she was informed that the soup had been thrown out by the man cook, with an intention to punish some disorderly boys, who often disturbed the family by playing in front of his Lord- ship's house; but she positively refused to give her tbe aggressor's name, neither could she procure any satisfaction for the injury done to her Sunday best, although they were rendered entirely useless and had cost her upwards of 5/. Mr. Hoskins desired an officer to call at Lord Ducies, which he has done twice without any success. The young woman, unless she have spirit and money to bring an action, will thus be obliged to sit down with the loss of her clothes. UNION HALL. DEATH FROM FRIGHT.— On Monday Catherine Keefe, a disre- putable character, was charged under the following circumstances: — Mrs. Ann Forrester, a married woman, was passing along White Bear- gardens on Friday evening, when defendant rushed out of a notorious house, and, going behind her, turned her clothes over her head. The fright produced by the conduct of tbe girl Keefe had such an effect on the mind of Mrs. Forrester, who was in a stale of pregnancy, that on her arrival at home she expired. The Magistrate regretted that he was only enabled to deal with Keefe as a disorderly female, and sentenced her to one month's confinement and hard labour. THAMES OFFICE. SHOCKING BRUTALITY AND MURDER.— An Irishcoal- whipper, named Dennis Nowlan, was brought before Mr. Broderip and Cap- tain RichbelJ, on Saturday, charged with committing a brutal and unprovoked assault on an elderly woman named Jane Nowlan, who has since died of the severe injuries inflicted upon her. It appeared from the evidence of tbe complainant, given before the Magistrates, tbat she was on her way home about one o'clock on Saturday morning, when she met tbe prisoner, of whom she had some slight knowledge, in Shakspeare's- walk, Shadwell. He pushed against her, and drove her against the wall, and on her ask- ing him what he did tbat for, he abused her, and swore that she should not leave him until she went with him to a public- house and had something to drink. She refused to do so, and said she wanted nothing of him. Some words ensued, and the prisoner gave her a dreadful blow on the eye, which knocked her backwards against a door. He then seized her by both ears, and beat her bead in a violent manner against the door. She endeavoured to get away from him, and called out " Murder, murder 1" on which the prisoner knocked her down, and while she was lying on the ground kicked her in a most savage way about tbe body. Several persons alarmed by licr cries, came up and prevented any further ili- usage' The poor woman's statement was in part confirmed by her appear- ance. The prisoner, in defence, said that when be accidentally pushed against the woman, she tore his coat and grasped him so tightly by the throat that he was compelled to knock her down in order to dis- engage himself. Mr. Broderip observed, that the prisoner, according to his own statement, had been guilty of a most unmanly assault. His con- duct was most atrocious, and the Bench were of opinion that he should pay a fine of ol. to the King, or be imprisoned six weeks. The prisoner, in default of payment, was committed to tbe Clerken- well prison for six weeks. On Monday, Mr. Fagan, an inspector of the K division, waited on Mr. Broderip, and informed him that Nowlan had died of the injuries inflicted upon her. Mr. Broderip directed that a detainer should be lodged against the prisoner if any one should call to pay the fine at the prison. MURDER AND ROBBERY ON THE THAMES. rworder he proceeded to make inquiries, ami ascertained that a boat and a' scull had been stolen from Mr. Moore's, the boat- builder at Lambeth, who was not aware of his loss until witness called upon him. He had since found tbe boat at Nine Elms,- Battersea, on the Surrey shore ;• and' he bad no doubt that the men who committed tbe robbery and murder rowed a » quick as possible when they saw Mr. Wilkinson in the water. He gave direction to Mr. Isbester another officer, who apprehended the prisoners in Lambeth. They had given accounts to him of the manner in which they spent their tune very different from tbe statements they had made to others. All four were very bad characters, and had been fined and imprisoned by the magistrates of that office for petty theftson the river. Mr. William Isbester deposed to apprehending the prisoners that morning, at a beer shop in Lambeth, Kennedy saw him coming and hastily left the house, but he followed and took him into custody' Captain Richbell cautioned the prisoners that they were not compelled to speak a single word, and that every thing they did say might be used in evidence against them. Kitley, with an impudent air, said he worked as mate of a barge called tbe Hiran, and he had frequently met Kennedy at a beer shop in Lambeth Butts. Kennedy was an apprentice to a fisher- man, and had run away from him, and on Tuesday he met him at the beer- shop, and he asked him to let him have a lodging in his barge, as he had nowliere's to sleep, and he told him he might have his bed. He was at the beer- shop the best part of tbe day on Tuesday, and left there about nine o'clock in company with tho landlord's son, and continued talking to a young girl until half- past nine, when her mother told them not to haunt her place, and drove them away ; they then returned to the beer- shop and met Kennedy, who asked him if he was going on board; there was another young man, named John Flack, and he asked him if he was going home ; he said he was not, but would turn- in with him and Kennedy, and they all went on board together; they reached the barge about five minutes after ten ; Flack slept in the cabin with him, and Kennedy by himself ;• they got up about five o'clock in tlie morning and went to the beer- shop. Kennedy, in defence, said that he was at the beer- shop by a quarter before ten, when three young fellows asked him to go and have a game at knock ' em down, and they called for a light, and played for some beer in the skittle- ground. After they had° finished the game, he went on board the barge with Kennedy and Flack and he would swear it was not more than a quarter past ten whea he got on board.- While he was at the beer- shop that morning, Kitley said that Mr. Mitchell, who had had him before, wanted to see him. He inquired which way he had gone, and went to meet him, and he was taken into custody. Lyon, in his defence, said he was at Mr. Lacey's, the Duke's Head, in Fore- street, Lambeth, on Monday night, and he said, if he had nothing to do, he might come and collect the pots ill next day, and lie was engaged collecting pots for Mr. Lacey from nine- o'clock on Tuesday morning, until eleven o'clock at night. Brown, who said he was a costermonger, and sold fruit, declared he was walking about tbe Borough with " another chap" from nine until eleven o'clock on Tuesday night, and was in bed by a quarter past eleven. He lived with his parents, in High- street, Lambeth. John Flack was then examined— He was a carman, and lived in Lambeth butts. He was at Mr. Bean's beer- shop from eight untiL ten o'clock, when he went on board the barge, in company with. Kitley. There was no one else but bim and Kitley went to the barge. Kennedy did not go with bim. [ Kennedy, in his defence, said be did.] Kennedy came on board during the night. Witness awoke at an early hour, and beard Kitley call out to Kennedy, " Are you there?" They had some conversation, but he don't re- collect what it was about. He don't know where Kennedy was from eight until ten o'clock. He did not see any one lake a boat away from Moore's. . Mr. Mitchell— And have you not stated that you did ? Tbe witness, after some hesitation, said he had not. Mr. Smales said that he bad seen the keeper of the beer- shop that morning, and he bad contradicted the statement of Kennedy, re- specting his calling for a light and proceeding with three others to tbe skittle- ground to play a knock ' em down. He was not there at that time. On Wednesday James Kitley, William Kennedy, Daniel Lyon, and Wm. Brown, four youths of notoriously bad character, were brought before Captain Richbell, at tbe Thames Police office, charged with the wilful murder of Mr. William Wilkinson, manag- ing clerk to Messrs. Williams, Jacob, and Co., merchants, Hare- court, Aldersgate- street. Mr. T. W. Smales, a stationer, of No 36, Aldersgate- street, deposed as follows :— Last night Mr. Wilkinson and myself hired a boat at Mr. Hodges's, near Blackfriars- bridge, to row up the river. We got as far as Vauxhall bridge, when we observed one or two boats rowing after us, and keeping time with us, which we did not like. When we got through the bridge, we found the people in the two boats had got very near in shore, and were pulling very- strong against us. We had a very light funny, and my friend said, " Smales, we must not let these people pass us." We then pulled as hard as we could, until we came to the Spread Eagle, on Thames bank, beyond the entrance to Lord Grosvenor's Canal, when we drew in our oars. I took out my watch to see what time it was. It was ten o'clock, and my friend said to me, " I think we can go on ten minutes longer, and then return with the tide, and we will take a glass of ale at this house" ( meaning the Spread Eagle). While this conversation was going on, one of the boats which had been previously chasing us, passed us. We thought no more of it, and pulled a few strokes with our oars until we were about thirty yards from the Spread Eagle causeway, when the same boat which had just passed us came right athwart our boat with great force ; my friend immediately exclaimed, " We are foul of a boat here, let us shove her off." We accordingly began the operation of get- ting clear of her, but we found she came further alongside as fast as we attempted to get clear of her. At that moment one of the men in the boat made a snatch at our two coats, which were lying in the bottom of our funny, just beneath my friend's feet. Captain Richbell directed the witness to look round aud see if lie could point out the mail who snatched the coats. The witness fixed his eyes on Kennedy, and said, " To the best of my recollection that is the man who stole the coats." Mr. E. W. Symons, the chief clerk, asked the witness what cap the man had on ?— Mr. Smales : A red cap with white border. The Magistrate directed Kennedy to put on his cap, which exactly answered the description given by the witness, and Mr.. Smales exclaimed, " I have no doubt that is the man, and that is the cap he was wearing." Mr. Smales then continued bis narra- tive :—" The coats were taken away, and they began to shove oft ; I endeavoured to lift my oar from the rullocks to strike Kennedy, and made three or four attempts, but whether I effected my pur pose I cannot say. The boats separated, and the men had their head to the tide, and were going rapidly away from us, when my friend made a spring from the boat we were in, and darted six or eight feet, and caught their boat with bis hands. He clung to the gunwale, and struggled to get into their boat, and seize tiie parties who had attacked us, but they struck bim over the head and bands with their sculls, and he was ultimately compelled to let go. He then attempted to swim towards the boat, but was again struck on tbe head, and failed in his endeavours to reach it. [ The witness here burst into tears, and it was some time before he was enabled to proceed.] During this time I put out a scull and an oar, but could not reach him, and he disappeared, while the parties in the boat rowed away as fast as possible. During the whole of this business I was calling out " Murder !" and was at length heard from the shore by the Jack- in- the- Water at the Spread Eagle, who called the waiter, and they both put off in a boat, but were unable to save my friend, who was struggling in the water altogether nearly ten minutes. When I got on shore I met Mr. Unwin, the proprietor of the Water Witch sailing- boat, and one of the Thames Police officers, who happened to be at the Spread Eagle, and they procured the drags and went on the river, but were unable to find tbe deceased. Soon afterwards I met with one of the Thames Police galleys, and accompanied Mr. Unwin and the officers to the police ship off Somerset House, where I gave information of the robbery and murder. Captain Richbeli inquired how many men were in the boat when Kennedy snatched the coats ? Mr. Smales replied, there were only two men in that boat, but he believed there was the other boat, which contained more than two, near them when the robbery and murder were effected. He could not swear to tbe other man in the boat with Kennedy, but he very . , much resembled the prisoner Brown. lunacy inquiries which have been discussed during the last eight or Mr. Alexander Mitchell, a surveyor of Thames Police, and tbe I ten years; some of the. ni, in fact, were engaged as jurors in Lordl principal officer of the Police ship, stated, tbat on heating of the I Portsmouth's case; j Mr. Mitchell said he had not at present any more witnesses. Captain Richbell remanded the prisoners for further examination. Mr. Wilkinson, the deceased, was aged 25 years. Mr. M. Mitchell, and White and Judge, officers, proceeded in a. boat towards Lambeth, to make further inquiries into this melan- choly affair. On their way to Lambeth, they met with Mr. Bean, the keeper of the beer- shop. Mr. Bean hailed the officers, and communicated to Mr. Mitchell that he bad been informed by his son that the prisoners sent tbe witness Flack for a lighted candle, and commenced burning some papers. On learning this fact he picked up some of the fragments, which he produced, and the hand- writing upon several bits of paper was immediately pronounced by Mr. Smales to be that of Mr. Wilkinson. One bit contained a. line of poetry, and Mr. Smales said that his friend and another gentleman had been jointly engaged writing poetry. Mr. Mitchell immediately took possession of the fragments of paper, and pro- ceeded in pursuit of Flack. The body was discovered on Thursday morning, by the police, on the shore opposite the Spread Eagle public- house, Millbank. INQUEST ON THE BODY OF MR. WILKINSON. The inquest was held on Friday night at the Spread Eagle, Thames- bank, on the body of this gentleman, who was murdered on the river on Tuesday night. The evidence adduced against the suspected murderers at the Thames Police- office, was repeated be- fore the jury, who returned a verdict of " Wilful Mulder" against Brown and Kennedy. The prisoners suspected of the above murder and robbery, underwent a second examination before Captain Richbell, at the Thames Police- office, on Friday, and were remanded for a week. Miss BAGSTER'S LUNACY COMMISSION.—( From the Correspon- dence of a Morning Paper).— This commission, which terminated on Saturday night after having occupied the previous eleven days, will, it is expected, cost upwards of 5,000/. Formerly the fees paid to the Commissioners and Jury were much larger than at the present time, the Commissioners receiving five guineas, and thtt Jury three guineas per day, independent of a very splendid dinner, which was served up at the house where the inquiry was held. These expenses, however, were reduced when Lord Lyndhurst suc- ceeded to the office of Chancellor, and instead of five guineas th » Commissioners were ordered to receive no more than three guineas per day in future, and the Jury were leduced to one guinea per day, and no dinner. In this case there were 22 Jurymen sum- moned, and three Commissioners presided, so that tbe expense of those gentlemen alone will amount to 341 guineas. The fees paid to Counsel were rather large, including consultations, itc. The attorneys on both sides will reap the richest harvest from the in- quiry. The ponderous bags of papers and documents which were each morning brought into Court bore evidence of the industry of the professional gentlemen, and of the immense mass of evidence and explanation which were necessary to the elucidation of the case. Forty- six witnesses were subpoenaed in support of the commission, including some of the most eminent medical gentlemen which this country can produce ; many of them were required to attend in Court until the termination of the proceedings, as it was expected the Jury might require some questions lo be asked, and of course sum must be tendered to them equivalent to the length and num- ber of the attendances they were obliged to make. The coffee- house expenses will also, form a very serious item. A short hand- writer was engaged by both parties, and his bill, it is expected, will amount to about 200/. Mr. Newton's expenses, from the time of the elopement, will amount to a very considerable sum; a Gretna- greea flight, particularly when a pursuit is expected, becomes very- expensive ; and the vigorous and determined opposition which Mr. Newton made to the commission, must involve him in a very serious expense with his professional advisers ; he also had subpoenaed a great number of witnesses, but his Counsel declined calling them, relying upon the examination of Miss Bagster. Among the Jury we observed that four were Magistrates of the county of Middlesex, and several of them have been engaged upon the most important 34 ® THE TOWI. luly 22. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. Notwithstanding the causes assigned for the non- arrival of news from Don Pedro's expedition, it must he regarded as ex- traordinary, considering that there are three steamers with it, that the Regency authorities here are without accounts. It requires only four, or, at the utmost, five days for a steamer to arrive at Falmouth from Oporto, and hut thirty hours for an ex- press from Falmouth to London; so that we might yesterday afternoon have had accounts from Pedro, up to the 15th inst. Nothing, however, has been received. We can state from a positive knowledge of the fact, that the Russian and Prussian Ambassadors in Paris have represented to several persons in that capital, that Gen. Sebastiani, the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, informed Baron Fagel, the Dutch Ambassador, that it was not intended by the French Govern- ment to use coercive measures for the purpose of compelling the Dutch to consent to the Conference Treaty. It seems difficult to helieve that General Sebastiani can have so committed himself; but as names are mentioned, it will be very easy for the parties to set themselves right on the subject. The French papers of Thursday, which have arrived by ex- press, are very barren of information, but we observe that the French government has given way to strongly expressed public opinion as respects the financial department, a great number of the provincial officials and receivers belonging to which having been dismissed or removed. The Nouvelliste states, from St. Petersburgh, June 20th, that the French ambassador has had leave of absence. The cholera has manifested itself at the palace of St. Cloud, and eleven of the servants have died. There have died in the hospitals fifty- five persons, and in private houses one hundred and fifty - two, making a total of two hundred and seven deaths. The latest German papers are entirely barren of interest. Tbe First and Second Regiments of Life Guards will be re- viewed to- morrow, on Wormwood Scrubbs, by General Lord Hill, Commanding- in- Chief. SPOR TING 1N TELL1GENCE. CHELMSFORD RACES, TUESDAY.

GRAND NATIONAL FESTIVAL.— Wednesday a public festival of the working and middle classes, as a solemnization of the triumph of reform, was held in the spacious gardens annexed to Sadler's Wells Theatre. Mr. Hume, M. P., presided. His col- league, Mr. By tig, M. P., Alderman Wood, M. P., Serjeant Spankie, Mr. Temple, Mr. Moore, Mr. Dixon, and a great many other gen- tlemen, also attended. The entire of the large garden, which was very liberally lent for the occasion gratuitously by the lessees of Sadler's Wells Theatre, was covered over, the canopy being em- blazoned with a great diversity of curious devices appropriate to the purpose of the festival. There were, as we understood from those - who were capable of estimating the numbers, 3,500 persons present. The majority were those who paid for admission. The assembly presented a splendid and delightful sight, and every one seemed to contribute to the general hilarity. Roast beef, plum- pudding, & c., were dealt out with the most profuse liberality to the guests. After this, the best ale was administered in quick succession, and in un- sparing quantity- ; and for six hours we could say that we did not hear any murmur of discontent, or one shout of turbulence. After a great many excellent speeches, dilating on the benefits likely to result from reform, and the proper mode of exercising the franchise the meeting quietly adjourned. REIGATE, SURREY.—( From a Correspondent.)— On Friday week last, the passing of the reform bill was celebrated at Reigate by a dinner given to the poor of the borough in the Castle Court: fifteen tabies were placed in an oval form, with a large space be- tween ( and a centre table for the band, & c.) ; forty persons were placed at each table, with a gentleman of the borough at each end to carve for that portion of the guests; and thus more than 600 persons were regaled with a plentiful supply of roast beef and plum- pudding, accompanied with a sufficiency of good beer and ale. The large hall, which is cut in the sand rock, below the green sur- face where the company assembled, is said to have been the place • where the Barons in the time of King John met to deliberate on the provisions of the first great charter of the people's liberties. This was in the year 1215, and after a period of 617 years the nation has at length obtained what may justly he denominated a second grand charter, by « hich the most extensive and permanent benefit will he produced if tbe people who were true to themselves in obtaining it, will be equally true to themselves in making a right use of it, by choosing enlightened, honest, and trust worthy repre- sentatives. After the King, the Duke of Sussex, Earl Grey, and his Majesty's Ministers, Parliamentary Reform, and other patriotic toasts had been done honour to, a merry dance took place ; and after tbe sun had gone down, the festivities of the day were con- cluded by an exhibition of some splendid fireworks. Every one then retired to his home, satisfied with the enjoyment he had ex- perienced, and delighted with the pleasurable hopes and vivifying sentiments which the occurrences of the day had excited iu his breast. MURDER IN SHAD- WELL.— A dreadful murder was committed on Thursday night, at a house of ill- fame in the Match- walk, Shadwell. An abandoned woman, named Catherine Bainbridge, during a quarrel with a Creole seaman, inflicted two stabs with a " knife, of which wounds the man almost immediately died. On Triday Catherine Bainbridge was brought up for examination be- fore Captain Richbell, at the Thames Police Office.— One of the principal witnesses, Ann Leonard, stated, I live in a room in the same house, underneath the one occupied by Bainbridge; I heard the deceased and prisoner quarrelling, and I heard Francis call out " Nance, Nance 1" I went up stairs, and as I entered the room I saw him staggering and bleeding; he made an attempt to hit her as he staggered, but failed, and fell heavily on the floor, and never spoke afterwards.; when I first entered the room the deceased said, " Oh, Nance, see what Kitty has done ;" on which the prisoner said she threw a basin at him, and cut him ; there were two or three knives lying on the chair ; one of them was stained with blood. Other witnesses deposed to the same effect.— Mr. J. Bird, a surgeon, stated, about a quarter past twelve I was called upon to attend at No. 4, Match- walk, Shad- weSJ, where I found a man of colour ; he was then alive, but was unable to articulate ; he was bleeding profusely, and I examined him, ibid found a deep wound on the left breast, which appeared to have been inflicted with a knife ; it was about an inch in length. There was also another wound over the left eye. Either of these • wounds was sufficient to cause death. Captain Richbell asked the prisoner if she had any thing to say.— The prisoner, in a sullen manner, and holding down her head, said she flung a large " basin at the deceased, and also threw some plates at him ; hut she did not stab him with a knife, because she had not one in the room. Captain Richbell: I feel it my duty to commit you to Newgtie for trial, for the wilful murder of William Francis. A yeoth, named James Moreland, belonging to one of the Margate steamers, was found in the fields at the back of the Eagle Tavern, City- road, on Monday night, with his throat cut in a most dreadful manner. The policeman who found him discovered that life was not extinct, and the razor with which he did it lying " by his side. He instantly procured assistance, and the poor fellow was carried to St. Bartholomew's hospital, where he now lies in a . very precarious state. Wm. Smithers, landlord of the New Inn, Thurston, was last week committed fo- r trial at the assizes under the following cir- cumstances ;— Sunday evening week, Stephen Bounds was at his house, and both were intoxicated. Smithers having taken offence at some liberties, taken with him byBounds, swore he would blow his brains out, and went up stairs to fetch a pistol he always kept under his bed. On Jii^ return, Bounds was at the door at the foot of the stairs; upon wijch Smithers, still in a passion, swore that if the door was not uu^ p^'- tely opened he would fire. He instantly carried his threat into e^ iitition. The ball passed through the door and entered the head of the other just above the right ear. He fell, and never after spoke, #. nd in the middle of the night expired. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of '' manslaughter," and Smithers was isijhgdiately committed to Winchester gaolBrighton Guardian. KENDAL RACES, July 17.

GRAND TROTTING MATCH BETWEEN RATTLER AND DRIVER FOR 500I. A- SIDE. This match, in which Rattler, the celebrated American, the pro- perty of Mr. Osbaldeston, was matched to trot in saddle 34 miles ( seventeen out, and seventeen in), against Mr. Law- ton's galloway Driver, for 500/. a- side, or lOOi. forfeit, cante off on Friday ac- cording to articles. The start took place from Newmarket, on the road towards Loudon, and back. Rattler had to carry 11 stone, while Driver had to carry but nine stone— a difference in weight considered highly in favour of the latter, although scarce 14 bands high, while Rattler is 15 hands and a half. We may here mention that Driver was formerly in possession of the Duke of Gordon subsequently became the property of Macdonald, the jockey, but has lately been the property of Mr. Lawton, who made tbe present match. The weights having been adjusted, and Mr. Osbaldeston having mounted Rattler, and Macdonald Driver, the signal was given for starting. The horses went off at a steady pace, Mr. Osbaldeston rather in the rear— a position which it was understood he intended lo preserve throughout till near home, when he purposed taking the lead, if . in his power. The road was alternately up and clown hill, in some places the ascents and descents being rather precipitous, between chalk hills, which rendered it extremely warm and Oppres- sive, from a want of a free circulation of air. In going towards town, the hones were met by a gentle and refreshing breeze, but this being at tjiejr backs on their return, the disadvantage was ob- vious. As the horses proceeded, Macdonald increased his speed, but Mr. Osbaldeston judicously kept close to his quarters, and waited upon him wilh persevering industry. The first three miles were done in twelve minutes, and the first fourteen in fifty minutes. At the turn of the 17 rpiles Driver was in front about a couple of lengths, and without pulling up they came on in tbe same relative position till within about a. tnile of home, near Ihe ditch gate, when the Squire said " Good by." Both horses were now greatly dis tressed ; the pace, though not rapid, was sufficiently fatiguing from the beat of the atmosphere. Macdoriald tried his little nag towards the conclusion, hut he always found Mr. Osbaldeston close upon his haunches. At last jVIf, Osbalde. slon, finding the period for the push arrive, went forward, and in spite of all Macdonald could do, came 111 first by about fifty yards; performing the thirty- four miles in two hours, eighteen minutes, and fifty- six second?, or at the aggregate rate of a mile in four minutes throughout. Li . many parts of the road this pace was exceeded, as the trot for the jas. t few miles did not seem to exceed twelve miles an hour. Mr. Osbaldeston was loudly cheered. He immediately dis- mounted and weighed, apparently little fatigued. Rattier, how- ever, was greatly distressed, and was fajten into the first stable which presented itself, where every possible « MP W- but when our account left Newmarket, rumour stated him lo be in a precarious condition. Driver was equally distressed, but was con- ducted into the town and bled. He refused his food for some time, but gradually recovered his spirits, and was pronounced " in a fair way," although acknowledged to have been " dead beaten." Rattler is since dead : he died on Saturday. CLARENCE YACHT CLUB SAILING MATCH. Wednesday the members of the Clarence Yacht Club gave their annual silver cup and cover to be sailed for by the vessels belong- ing lo the club. The prize was a very superb one, and the follow- ing boats sailed from Westminster Bridge to Wandsworth Mea- dows and back to the place of starting, viz :— Brilliant ™ ™ ™ ™ Lord II. Cholmondeley. Lady Emma Mr. R. Bucknall. Water Witch Mr. J. Unwin. Cascabel ™ ™ ™ ™ Mr. Polden. Secret — . Mr. Harvey. The match excited considerable interest along the whole line of the river, and the betting was exceedingly brisk. About half- past five the signal was given for starting. The Lady Emma was the first under weigh, and took the lead, followed ' by Brilliant and Water Witch. On arriving off the Penitentiary, the Water Witch overhauled the leading boats, and passed under Vauxhall Bridge first, the Brilliant taking the second place, and the Lady Emma third, close in tbe wake of the Brilliant. The Water Witch main- tained the lead the entire distance, but at times closely pressed by the Brilliant. In rounding the flag- boat at Wandsworth Meadows, the contest between the Brilliant and Lady Emma was of the most scientific nature. The Water Witch, however, kept the lead, and ran before the wind towards the flag- boat off Westminster, which she rounded first— the winner of the prize. The Lady Emma was second ; and had it been a greater distance to run, she would have overhauled the Witch. The Briiiiant was an excellent third, and the others brought up the rear. The match lay entirely between the three first boats, and the contest was of an interesting nature, and reflected much credit upon the respective owners for the science displayed throughout. CRICKET.— A Cricket- match was played at Grantham, called married and single, which terminated in favour of the latter, with five wickets to go down; the ground was most respectably attended. SWIMMING.— On Wednesday afternoon, Dr. Bedale, of Man Chester, the celebrated swimmer, took an excursion in his favourite element— by the way, as he calls if, of amusement— from London Bridge to Battersea. This distance would have been considered quantum suf. for most Englishmen ; but the Doctor preferring float- ing and floundering in the water, to the dust of a road in the summer, or the monotony of sitting still in a boat, after partaking of some refreshments, resumed his swimming, and returned in that manner to Waterloo Bridge. He was two hours and a half in the water, and on Friday swam from London Bridge to Greenwich. From the LONDON GAZETTE of Tuesday and Friday last.

SUICIDE.— Wednesday au Inquest was held at the Volunteer, Commercial- road, on the body of Samuel Gulson, aged 31, late a mate of an East Indiaman. Since the return of the deceased from his last voyage he addicted himself to drinking. Meet- ing with aBible a little while ago, he was struck with his bad con- duct, and he wrote the following :—" I promise, from this day, never to blaspheme nor drink grog, in the name of the Almighty. S. Gulson, July 10, 1832." On the evening of the same day his passion for liquor overcame his resolution, and he got very in- toxicated. The next morning he was sadly grieved at having broken his vow, and the circumstance appeared to prey on his mind. On Sunday he cut his throat with a razor. Verdict, Insanity. SHOCKING ACCIDENT TO A CLIMBING BOY-.— Tuesday the landlord of the Rose public- house, Hatton- garden, finding a great smoke in his house, the passage of the chimney being stopped with soot, he sent for a climbing boy, to clear it away. Shortly after a poor iittle fellow, about six years of age, arrived, and proceeded up the chimney, until he got to the pot, which was crammed with soot. He was called to force it out, and to knock it down, which he did, until he managed to clear it; but while enveloped in the pot it gave. way, and Jie was precipitated from the top of the house, a height of three stories, to the yard. His legs, arms, and head, were dreadfully injured, and his feet were shockingly lacerated. He was carried to J? t< Bartholomew's Hospital, without hopes of recoverv.
