MONDAY.— The Commons' Resolutions on the subject of the East IndiaCharter were communicated to the House, a conference having been required for such purpose. On the motion of Earl Grey they were ordered to be printed, and taken into consideration on Friday ee'nnight. The Earl of WINCHILSEA. inquired whether Ministers contemplated any measure for the suppression of the Political Unions ?— Lord GREY replied that he did not at present consider it necessary to pro- pose any measure having such object: the existing laws were con- sidered sufficiently efficient for the suppression of any illegal assem- blies.— The Earl of ELDON complained that the Government had passed over thousands of seditious publications, and declared i t was theirduty to put an end to those libellous productions which dailyas- sailed even their Lordships' House.— Lord MELBOURNEadmitted their pernicious tendency, but asserted that the most efficient means bad been adopted to check or punish those that were deemed seditious Or illegal. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved that the House resolve itself into Committee on the Local Jurisdiction Bill.— Lord LYNDHURST in a - very powerful speech, opposed the Bill. His Lordship said, the question to be considered was, whether or not the proposed vast change would be for the good of the country. He knew very well that with many the cry of cheap law and expeditious law was ex- tremely popular, but he sincerely hoped that neither their Lordships nor the country would ever cease to bear in mind the great distinc- tion between cheap and expeditious law and cheap and expeditious justice. Under this Bill nearly two- thirds of the business of the superior Courts would be transferred to the Local Courts, and cases of libel might be tried before a judge and jury resident on the spot, and likely therefore to be personally mixed up with the circumstances of the case. His Lordship concluded by moving that the Bill be read a second time that day three months.— No division, however, took place, and the Bill was ordered to be re- committed on Friday next.— Adjourned. TUESDAY.— Several petititions were presented on the subject of the Apothecaries' Bill. On the motion for the second reading of the St. Luke's Poor Bill, Lord SEAGRAVE moved an amendment that it be_ read a second time that day six months, which amendment was carried. WEDNESDAY.— Lord ELLEN BOROUGH said thatseeingthe Noble Earl ( Grey) in his place he wished to ask him whether his Majesty's Minis- ters had any objection to lay on the table of the House the corres- pondence or communications that might have taken place between the Board of Controul and the East IndiaDirectors, respecting those changes which it was contemplated to make in the constitution and power of the local Governments of India ?— Earl GREY had made inquiries into the subject since the Noble Baron had alluded to it on a previous evening in that House, and he had found that there had not been any correspondence between the Board of Controul and the Board of East India Directors such as the Noble Baron imagined. There was nothing to lay before the House of a nature to afford the Noble Baron information on the subject.— Lord ELLENBOROUGH was surprised that on a matter of the very highest importance to the Welfare of India no communications had passed between the two Departments to whose joint functions all the Government of India was entrusted. Under such very extraordinary circcmstances he thought the Noble Earl could not object to his proposal that the Bubject should be. postponed until next Session, in order to afford Parliament an opportunity of inquiring into it.— Earl GREY agreed with the Noble Baron that the subject was of the highest importance. The changes were proposed with a view to improve the condition of the natives of India, and to give them additional securities for good government; and he hoped when they were fairly discussed that such would be found their probable results— results very different from those which the Nofcle Baron anticipated. On the motion ol theDukeof RICHMOND the Agricultural Labourers' Bill was referred to a Select Committee. THURSDAY.— The Bill for the Regulation of the Reduction of the National Debt, the Bill for the better Regulation ofthe Woollen Trade, and several Public and Private Bills, were brought up from the Commons, and read a first time. Mr. STANLEY, Lord DUNCANNON, and others, brought up a Message from the Commons desiring a conference with their Lordships' House upon a subject of the highest importance to his Majesty's Colonial Possessions. Their Lordships having agreed to the con- ference in the Painted- Chamber, the following Members were ap- pointed to conduct it:— The Lord Privy Seal, Duke of RICHMOND, the Earl of WICKLOIV, Lord LITTLETON, Lord SUFFIELD, and the Bishop of LONDON. The conference being concluded, the Peers re- turned, and the Lord Privy Seal acquainted the House that they bad received a communication from the Commons that that House had passed certain Resolutions in a Committee of tire whole House for the purpose of extinguishing negro slaverv. The Resolutions having been read were ordered to be printed, and the Lord Privy Seal gave notice that he should move that they be taken into consideration on Thursday next. The Duke of P„ ICHMOND moved the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Quakers' Affirmation Bill.— Lord WYNF- ORD observed that Quakers wculd, he beleived, rather violate their affirmation than find a verdict of guilty against men on capital indictments, and that they therefore ought not to be prat upon Juries.— The Bislrop of LONDON did not mean to oppose the Bill, but he wished to call the . attention ofthe House to the subject of oaths in general, and to the manner in which they were administered in this country. He had often greatly wondered that the attention of the Legislature had not been directed to the subject at large. Partial remedy had been provided for the evil by a Bill which " had passed the Legislature two years ago. He believed that there was no country in the world, or at least no country in Christendom, where the most sacred of all religious sanctions were looked upon with less of importance as to the mode of application than in England. Even a pound of tea could not travel from the ship to the consumer without the sanction of half a dozen oaths. He ( the Bishop of London) thought that the sacred sanction of an oath ought not to be required except in cases of extreme emergency. Judicial oaths were subjects of great delicacy; but of municipal oaths, he believed that full nine- tenths might be dispensed with, and solemn declarations B- uiwtituted in their stead, whilst in many cases, no declaration whatever was requisite, for the penalties of the law would secure a faithful discharge* of the duties. Unless the subject sltou d be taken up early next Session he should think it is duty to call the attention ofthe Legislature to it, and to submit that it either lie submitted to a Select Committee of that House or to a Royal Commission. There was another class of oaibs Or'an objectionable nature. He alluded to those administered at the Universities andpubiieschool*. He had no hesitation in 6aying that I jljta; eji « \ dJy was a case where it WM proper to administer such oaths j[ to young men not ot age, except where judicial truths were to be ascertained. He could not but express an earnest hope that this important subject, which had been recently taken into consideration by the authorities of one of the Universities, might soon be taken up by both.— The Lord CHANCELLOR expressed his satisfaction at the announcement made by the Right Rev. Prelate of his intention to direct the attention of the Legislature to the existing state of the laws relating to oaths generally; and strongly condemned the prac- tice of voluntary affidavits. After a short discussion the Bill was read a second time, andordered to be committed on Tuesday next. On the motion of Lord LYNBHURST the House resolved itself into Committee on the Limitation of Actions Bill. Several clauses having been agreed to, the Bill was reported, on the understanding that it should be re- committed on Monday next.— Adjourned. FRIDAY,— The Quakers' Affirmation Bill was read a third time. The Earl of ABERDEEN said, from some circumstances that had transpired he felt it necessary again to allude to the correspondence which bad been laid before the House, between the government of this country and that of France, and other documents not yet before Parliament, from which it appeared that positive engagements as to the retention of Algiers had been entered into not only by the King of the French butalso by his ministers. He should notnow make any motion on the subject. The honour and interests of this country were in the keeping of the Noble Earl Grey, and he trusted the Noble Earl would come forward with such a statement as would show that neither had suffered in his hands.— Lord GREY had received no communication from the French Government on the subject, and had no information beyond what he had seen in the French papers. When the time for explanation arrived, he trusted his Majesty's Government would be able to show that they had not been neglectful of their duty.— The Marquess of LONDONDERRY was not surprised at the declaration of the Noble Earl's ignorance on this important subject, considering how injudicially the foreign policy of the country had been managed of late.— The Earl of RIPON defended the conduct of his Majesty's Government, not only as related to Algiers, but to the foreign policy of the country generally.— Lord LONDONDERRY* expressed himself assured that with the Noble Earl's ( Ripon) assistance, he could demonstrate that his Majesty's present Ministers had not only failed in the foreign policy, but that they had debased the country from the high station in which it had formerly rested. The Earl of WICKLOW then brought forward his motion for an account of alllthe sums of money which had been collected in Ire- land under the provisions of the Tithe Commutation Act; in doing which, the Noble Earl strongly censured Ministers for the conduct which they had adopted towards Ireland.— Lord MELBOURNE denied that there was any foundation for the charges brought aaainst Minis- ters by the Noble Earl.— The Duke of WELLINGTON characterised the Tithe Commutation Act as a measure of great injustice towards the landlords in Ireland. His Majesty's Government had given no information calculated to remove the anxiety felt by their Lordships on the subject of Ireland.— Lord GREY defended the Government, and said noble lords could promise themselves no advantage from bringing the subject forward thus prematurely. After a few words from the Lord CHANCELLOR, the motion was agreed to. The House then resolved itself into a Committee upon the Local Jurisdiction Bill. After some objections bad been urged by Lord Lyndhurst and Lord Ellenborough, the Bill went through Committee with some amendments, and was ordered to be recommitted on Monday, to which day their Lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY.— On the motion of Mr. CHAPMAN, the Roman Catholic Marriages. Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on the 26th. Lord ASHLEY moved the Order of the Day for the second reading of the Favtories' Regulation Bill; which, being read, and the ques- tion put that the Bill be read a second time, Lord ALTHORP said that he should not oppose the second reading of the Bill, as he concurred in the principle that the hours of labotir for children in factories should be restricted. He could inform the Noble Lord, however, that the opinion of the Commissioners was that the Noble Lord's Bill did not go far enough in restricting the labour of children under the age of fourteen. They thought, however, that beyond that age it would not be advisable to interfere by legislation.— Lord ASHLEY asked ( as we understood) what was the number of hours recommended by the Commissioners?— Lord ALTHORP said it was proposed by the Com- missioners that the restriction should extend only to persons under fourteen, and that the number of hours for working should be eight. He did not object to the second reading, and the Noble Lord could not at present proceed further. In the Committee some of the pro- visions might be altered, or new ones introduced.— Lord ASHLEY asked whether he was to understand that the Noble Lord would not hereafter oppose the Speaker's leaving the Chair?— Lord ALTHORP answered in the affirmative.— Lord ASHLEY: I am not to consider myself bound by any of the suggestions thrown out by the Noble Lord as to the alterations in the Bill ?— Lord ALTHORP: Certainly not.— The Bill was then read a second time, and committed for Friday week. The Irish Church Temporalities Bill was again recommitted, the dissussions upon which occupied the whole of the evening. Several clauses were agreed to, when the Chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again. TUESDAY.— At the morning sitting several petitions were pre- sented relative to the Apothecaries' Bill. Mr. HUME and others contended for the necessity and advantage, of terminating the monopoly of the Apothecaries' Company. Colonel WOOD said that the Company did not desire to retain injurious monopoly, and that they were willing to have their affairs and fees investigated by Parliament. On the resumption ofthe House, Colonel EVANS moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend that part of the Reform Act which required the payment of poor- rates and the assessed taxes previous to being allowed the exercise of the elective franchise.— The CHAN- CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER resisted the motion, which, after some discussion, was lost, there being a majority of 60 against it. Mr. FRYER brought forward his promised motion respecting the Corn laws. The Hon. Member contended that without a repeal of these laws all reductions of taxation would be useless. He then made some severe comments upon the conduct of his Majesty's Ministers, stating that not long ago they agitated the kingdom from one end to ti e other; they indirectly, if not directly, encouraged the Political Unions; they counselled the King to dissolve an impracticable Parliament they admonished the Bishops to put their houses in order; and, to crown the whole, in the vulgar slang of the day, they swam lied the House of Peers.—( Hear, heat.)— And all this for what? The Ministers would answer, for the sake of Reform.—( Hear, hear.) — But where was Reform ?—( Hear, hear, hear,)— There was none. Was the Coercive Bill Reform ?—( Hear, hear.)— Was the Church Temporalities Bill Reform {—( Hear.)— He could tell them that the Tories were jeering and laughing and sneering at the Reformers. They said they had at last got " the Bill, and the whole Bill," hut they had also got " nothing but the Bill."—( Cheers and laughter.)— It was petfectly true the people had got nothing but the Bill. He begged to move for " leave to bring in a Bill to alter and amend the 9th Geo. IV., commonly called the Corn Bill." He wished the country to go back to the state of things in 1791, when they had the same money as now, and when the duty on wheat from 50s. to 54s. a quarter was half- a crown.— Lord ALTHORP thought the question had been already sufficiently discussed, and should therefore oppose the motion. After some discussion a division took place, when the numbers were, for the motion, 47; against it 72. Sir A. AGNEW applied for leave to bring in a Bill for the better regulation of the Lords' Day in Scotland.— Lord ALTHORP said he should not oppose the motion; but it was quite impossible that it could be adequately considered at so advanced a period of the Session. The motion being pressed, the House divided— for it, 73; against it, 68. Majority for the introduction of the Bill, 13. The order of the day having been read for going into Committee on the Church Temporalities ( Ireland) Bill, several clauses were adopted. On the 42d clause, Mr. PRYME moved an amendment for the gradual exclusion of the Bishops for Ireland from the House of Lords.— Mr. STANLEY and Lord ALTHORP resisted the amendment, as one that they could never think of sanctioning, maintaining that the presence of the Bishops in the House of Peers was essential to protect the interests of the Church, and they submitted that if it were deemed right to raise so important a question, it ought not to be brought foi ward as an amendment to a clause of a Bill. After several Members had resisted it, and Mr. HUME had supported it, declaring that he was ready to exclude the Bishops ot both countries from the House of Lords, Mr. PHYJIE withdrew his amendment.— The Committee then proceeded with the remaining clauses of the Bill, and the 90th clause having been agreed to, the Chairman reported I progress, and asked leave to sit again to morrow, WEDNESDAY,— Lord ALTHOKP rose to request Hon, Members I whose motions had precedence on the paper to give wav, in order that the committee on the Irish Church Temporalities Bill might be resumed. Mr. W. BROUGHAM, the second reading of whose General Register Bill stood first among the orders of the day, expressed his readiness to give way if it should appear to be the wish ofthe House. At the same time he thought it would be better that so important a measure should be at once decided on, or postponed altogether, for if it were not now proceeded with, there would be no hope of carrying the Bill through during the present session. After a desultory conversation, in the course of which Sir R. PEEL suggested that the Bill might be pro- ceeded with now, with a view to its being better understood when it should be again brought forward in a future session; and the SOLI- CITOR GENERAL observed, that without a general registry the law could never be rendered cheap and simple, Mr. W. BROUGHAM said, he would move the second reading ofthe Bill, butwithoutany remark. — Mr. SANFORD opposed the Bill. He had been a Member of the Committee on this Bill. The most able and experienced men were consulted npon it. He went into the Committee not favourable to it, and what he had heard did not make him more favourable. The measure if agreed to would have the effect of throwing great diffi- culties in the way of the agriculturists, who might have occasion to raise some loans, and this it would not be desirable to do. It was said it would give security to landed property. This might be the case if such a Bill had been passed several years back; but it was too late now, and would throw great and inconvenient liabilities on persons of property. He would therefore move that the Bill be read a second time that day six months. After a short discussion, a division took place.— For the second reading, 69; against it, 82; majority against the Bill, 13. The Separatists' Aflirmatian Bill went through Committee, and the report was ordered to be received to- morrow. The House then went into Committee on the Church Temporalities ( Ireland) Bill, and proceeded as far as the 118th clause, claused being postponed at the suggestion of Sir R. PEEL.— The Committee to sit again on Friday. The Dwelling house Robbery Bill was read a third time and passed. The Parochial Rates Exemption Bill went through Committee, and the report was ordered to be received to- morrow. THURSDAY.— At the morning sitting Colonel EVANS presented a petition from the inhabitants of Sr. Ann's, Westminster, praying for the [ repeal of the house and window taxes. The Hon. Member said be had the highest authority for saying that these taxes were obnoxious and ought to be repealed, for the Noble Lord ( Althorp) bad advocated the repeal of those taxes when out of office.— Lord ALTHORP— No no; I voted against them, but I did not athocate the repeal of them.— Colonel EVANS— Well, I find th& t the Noble Lord had voted several times against them.— Lord ALTHORP— Not several times.— Colonel EVANS— At all events I find his name down in three or four lists against them.— Lord ALTHORP— I believe not. On the SPEAKER taking the Chair at five o'clock, Mr. HUGHES moved that the House be counted, but withdrew his motion on the expression of some disapprobation by the Members present. Mr. BETHELL moved for copies of Memorials presented by the country bankers to the Duke of Wellington, and to the present Government, on the subject of the Bank of England Charter. The only object of this most respectable body was to have the case fairly before the House. They were not aware that they had given occasion for any complaint, either on the ground of having refused accomodation or having forced their circulation. If there were any grounds for such charges they were quite ready to meet them. They were anxious on] y for full investigation into the subject before a monoply was granted to the Bank.— Motion agreed to. There was no other business of consequence transacted, and the House adjourned at 6 o'clock. FRIDAY.— T{ ie Marquis of CHANDOS brought up the Report of the Select Committee on the Sale of Beer Act. He hoped Ministers would direct their attention to this Report, and thata second Session would not be allowed to pass over without doing something on the subject. From the evidence it would be seen that the evils arising from beer shops were such as required a remedy.— Mr. G. LAMB said it was rather late in the Session to take up the subject. He believed the evidence before the Committee proved that great abuses existed, and he hoped either in this Session or early in the next, to be able to bring forward some measure.— Mr. SLANEY said that, for the protection of the working classes themselves, 6ome further regu- lation of beer- shops was necessary. Without, however, taking away the benefits of competition, it was necessary that something should be speedily done.— The Report was ordered to he printed. Lord CHANDOS presented a Petition from the Archdeacon and Clertry of the Archdeaconry of Buckingham against certain parts of the Irish Church Temporalities Bill. The Noble Lord presented a similar Petition from Cork. Ordered to lie on the table. The House then went into Committee on the Irish Church Tem- poralities Bill.— Upon the motion that clause 147 be agreed to,. Mr. STANLEY wished to call the attention of the House to this clause. By this clause the surplus of the purchase money of the perpetuities: of the present holders of bishop and leases, was declared to be liable to be appropriated as Parliament should direct. The Right Hon. Gent, said the clause had been strongly objected to both within and without the walls of the House ; a perseverance in pressing it might also lead to a collision between the two Houses of Parliament— with, a view of avoiding so great an evil, he should propose to omit this clause altogether— especially as doing so would not at all affect the principle of the Bill. This proposition was opposed by Mr. O'CON- NELL, Mr. HUME, Mr. HARVEY. Colonel DAVIES, Mr. F. O'CONNOR and others ; and supported by Sir R. PEEL, ( who disclaimed having entered into any compromise with any party whatsoever), by Dr. LUSHINGTON, Mr. MACAULAY, Lord SANDON, Lord J. RUSSELL, Sir R. INGLIS, & C.— and on a division the numbers were, for the omission of the claus 280; for retaining it 148, giving a majority againt the clause of 132. The House then resumed, and the Committee will sit again on Monday. The Separatists' Affirmation Bill was, after some discussion, read a third time and passed. Mathews's most successful Comic Annual is approaching the close of the season ; a few nights more will terminate this amusing entertainment, which, in spite of the depreciated state of theatri- cals in general, has been unusually prosperous. It is reported that Mr. Mathews will perform for a few nights in the English Opera Company his favourite parts of Nicholas Trefoil in Before Breakfast, and Jonathan in England. A Treaty has been concluded between the Postmaster- General of England and M. COMTE, the Director- General of the Post- Adminis- tration in France, assisted by M. PIRON, the Sub- Director- General, for a daily transmission of letters between the English and French metropolis. This Treaty was sent to Paris on Saturday last to be ratified, and will take effect immediately after its ratification. INDIA AND TURKEY.— Captain Thornton, R. N. has given us A volume ( published at the low price of 7s-) which, for its perspicuity and arrangement, bids fair to become popular; and, in the present state of the India Question, we do not hesitate to say should be pos- sessed by every one, even in the remotest degree connected with the Company or the country : it is entitled, A Summary of the His tory ofthe East India Company, from the grant of their first Charter by Queen Elizabeth to the present period." It may be used as a manual by all parties: it is a succinct account of every point of history. The details of the Burmese War are from the original memoranda and recollections of the author, who was present in it. Another and most beautifully- written volume, under the title of Sketches in Greece and Turkey, ending in the Autumn of 1832, with the present condition and future prospects of the Turkish Empire,"' we would also recommend, and in the words of our contemporary- the Spectator, introduce and leave it with our readers. " This is a, charming volume, for it embraces both the useful and the beautiful. It is rightly named Sketches: we are favoured with outlines, and a few glowing colours— details only here and there ; but the effect is magnificent. In a few pages, the present state of Greece is set before us as in a panorama; in fact, the last intelligence to be relied on in any form, is communicated in this volume. Monday a young man, who had been some time in the employ of Mr. Davis, newsman, of Broad- street, Bloomsbury, cashed a cheque for 3001. at Price's, Fleet- street, which had been entrusted to his care, and absconded. He has not been heard of since. About four o'clock on Friday morning a fire broke out in the ex- tensive coach manufactory of Messrs. Walters and Whitechurcb, No. 131, Oxford- street, near Regent- street, which, together with the valuable stock of carriages, were soon reduced to ashes. At nine o'clock the walk fell in with a tremendous cra# h, but without doing any micthief, t June 23. JOHN BULL: 195 PARISIAN CORRESt'OXDENCE. DEAR BULL, Paris, 19th June, 1833. The counter- revolution is proceeding with rapidity. The Cham- ber of Deputies demands its own dissolution. It feels that the country is divided into two great parties, the Republicans and the Royalists; the latter being all the proprietors, manufacturers, farmers, merchants, wholesale and retail shopkeepers, and inhabit, ants of the rural communes, together with the clergy, nine- tenths of the army and navy, and the whole of the ancient nobility; and the Republicans consisting of the active agents of the Revolution of July, both in the capital and the provinces, who do not want either talent or zeal, but who have wholly mistaken the interests and the wants, as well as the desires of the majority. The Chamber of Deputies feel that it belongs to neither of these great parties; that it is nothing less than the national night- mare, and that it desires its own dissolution. That dissolution will take place towards the close of this year, and it will then be the duty of all who possess in any shape or form any interest in the country, to proceed to the elections, to return Royalists, and to come to the vote in the Ses- sion of 1834 either for or against the existing state of things in this country. This is the project, this the scheme of the Royalists, and, if conducted with skill and talent, it cannot fail to succeed. The owners of every sort of property in France are all thoroughly sick of revolutions and revolutionists, and if wise and moderate Royalists be selected as candidates for the Chamber of Deputies, there is not any reason for doubting that even at the approaching election the majority will be Royalist. That Royalist Chamber will then call HENRY V. to the throne, and without violence, bloodshed, or intes- tine troubles, order may be restored by the very power in the State which, by its imprudent votes, was the first to derange it. In the mean time the nation is being prepared for the change which is about to take place. There is no longer any amalgamation of parties in the interest of the Citizen- King; LAFAYETTE no longer says that " this is the best of republics ! " The Republicans no longer consent to make a bastard alliance with the new Monarchy. Things and men are once more called by their right names! There is no longer any intention on the part of the new Monarchy to cede any of its supposed rights to the Republic, nor any intention on the part of the Republicans to make any concessions to this new and illegitimate Monarchy. All this is favourable to the counter- revo- lution. The Republic now stands by itself; Bounapartism by itself, for the Republic has of late renounced it, and has declared that, as Bounapartism is nothing more nor less than the affair of a dynasty, it ( the Republic) will have nothing to do with it. In like manner the old and legitimate monarchical system stands by itself; and. finally, the bastard dynasty, created for the moment by an unnatural union of parties, now all dislocated, stands by itself; and, verily, its supporters, ( who are not actually paid to be so) are the least nume- rous. At the Theatre Francais a piece was announced, entitled " The Youth of Henry V." or " The younger days of Henry V." Such a title eighteen months ago would not have been announced, for the mob would have torn down the placards, the theatre would have been demolished, and the actors would have been insulted and roughly handled. But how different is the case now. The theatre was crammed to listen to the piece, and when, through the sudden indisposition of an actress, the piece could not be performed, the pit, galleries, and boxes became clamourous, and " Vive Henri V." 41 We will have Henri V. 1" proceeded from a thousand voices. Some Republicans in the twopenny gallery cried out for the Mar- seilloise, but the band was much too loyal to perform it, and the Royalist cry prevailed of " Long live Henry V.! " On the other hand, the new dynasty never appears in public, is never thought of, receives no addresses, no visits, and no civilities; the Ambas- sadors at foreign Courts are treated as if they were thieves or traitors, and all their movements are watched with the most scru- pulous exactness. No confidence is placed in their promises, and no attention is paid to their threats. Europe proceeds in all her diplomatic arrangements just as if no France existed; and she dare not even colonize Algiers for fear of offending her pretended allies. Whilst such is the condition of the bastard royalty of the present moment in this country, and whilst in Great Britain the House of Brunswick is threatened with a revolution, if it shall not consent to destroy the second power of the State, it is consolatory to turn to those countries where monarchical institutions are differently under- stood, and where the Monarch is looked up to as the father of the people. These fetes of the Monarchy used to be known in England even in the time of CHARLES JAMES Fox; and. in France, they were not uncommon during the reign of LouisXVIII. But for the present they are unknown in both countries; and the Whigs in Eng- land, and the juste- milieu\ r\ France are too cowardly to espouse the cause of the Throne, and not daring enough to take up the cause of the Republic. But this middle state of lukewarm and indifferent Government will not last long in either country; and we may yet hope to see, even in France and England, similar fetes to that which I am about to describe as having taken place in the capital of Russia. I am indebted to a valuable correspondent on the spot forthe delight- ful sketch which follows : •• On Saturday the 25th of May, his Majesty the Emperor of all the Russia8 gave, at the winter palace of St. Petersburgh, a dinner to the proprietors and manufacturers of his kingdom, the products of wiiose looms, fields, gardens, and agricultural, manufacturing, and even shipping industry and talent are now being exhibited in the capital of the empire. This 25th May, 1833, will be ever held dear and memorable in the annals of Russian industry; and the benevo- lence and virtues of the Emperor and his family will be for ever enitraven on the grateful hearts of his faithful and devoted subjects. • On that day his Majesty being desirous of rewarding with his appro- bation all those, whether rich or poor, whether mechanic, labourer, • ot4 rich proprietor and manufacturer, who had contributed by the products of their farms, or gardens, their loomsor their forges, or in any other way, to the exposition of the products of the year that had passed, deigned to admit and to invite them all without distinction todine with him in his winter palace. The Ministers, many generals, aide- de- camps, the foreign consuls, the merchants, both wholesale arid retail, of the two first Guilds of St. Petersburgh, as well as the Members of the Council of Commerce, and ofthe Council of Manu- facturers. were also invited to this splendid repast. Having had the inexpressible happiness of assisting at this truly national fete, which is, perhaps, quite unique in its character, I feel the greatest pleasure in forwarding a sketch of it to my friends. " The guests of the Emperor were of very different conditions in life. There were the Lords who had established manufactures, or injprovementsin agriculture, horticulture, & C.& C. on their properties; there were the rich manufacturers, who supply in their establish- ments abundant occupation to thousands of labourers, and who put in circulation millions of roubles; and there were also the modest arid humble artisans, who, in their quiet wotkshops, labour most assiduously to bring to perfection the products of their industry. But in the presence of the great Monarch of the Russian Empire they were all confounded in one class of useful citizens, devoted to the career of national industry— co- operating by their efforts in this noble task, and increasing the glory and the riches of our well- beloved country, all concurring in assuring to it a perfect independ- ence of foreign industry. They were all the well- beloved and faithful subjects of the Monarch— nor were they less the grateful children of a tender and devoted father. " A table of 505 covers was prepared in the saloon which precedes that of the musical salle, and the repast, the plate, the ornaments, and the viands were sumptuous, national, and delicious. _ At half- past three o'clock, his Imperial Majesty arrived, accompanied by his august family, and followed by the Imperial Court. His Imperial Majesty seated himself in the centre of the upper table, and the Empress, the Hereditary Prince, the Grand Duchesses MARIE and OLGA, and the Grand Duke MICHEL, were placed in front of him. The Emperor had on his right hand the Minister of Finance and the ' fureign Consuls, and on his left begun a row of merchants, manu- facturers. and proprietors of establishments of useful industry. In general all etiquette was banished from this repast, where no atten- tion was paid to the pre- eminence of rank. The Ministers, Aides- de- Camp of the Emperor, and the head Officer of the Court, were placed in the midst of the other guests. Her Majesty the Empress condescended to wear a robe made of a beautiful stuff; fabricated in the manufactory of the Councillor of Manufactures, KON DRASCHEFF, and which she had graciously purchased at the exposition. " During the repast the Imperial Family deigned to converse with benevolence and affability with all who surrounded them ; and to- ward? the close of the dinner the Emperor rose and proposed the following toast—" To the health of those who devote themselves to works useful to the country." And what heart did not reply to this toast, by wishing, with all sincerity, to its well- beloved author long years of happiness and health— yes, of health and happiness, glory and honour, to the magnanimous, benevolent, paternal Sovereign of Russia, whose existence is so necessary to the happiness and the glory of our country. " When dinner was terminated, the guests proceeded to another saloon, where a new and touching spectacle to Russia was presented to our ravished sight. The Emperor had condescended to orderthat the younger branches of his illustrious family, even the young Grand Dukes and the young Grand Duchess, should be presented to his faithful subjects. This he did in a loud tone, and on their intro- duction said—" Behold my children!" and then turning to the young Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, and taking him by the hand, he exclaimed, " Behold my High Admiral." This most lovely boy, after having saluted the assembly, precipitated himself towards his father, and springing up, clung round the neck of the Emperor, and there hung embracing him. After this touching scene, the Emperor took up the Grand Duke NICHOLAS in his arms, in order to shew him to the assembly. " In a few moments all the purple and splendour of the Imperial Court had disappeared from our eyes. We now only saw the happiest of husbands and of fathers, loving and being beloved in his family, and worthy of all the affection with which he was so evidently che- rished. We only perceived a good and true head of a family shedding around him happiness, ease, and the excellent example of an irre- proachable public and private life. And this head of this family, so virtuous, so noble, so loyal, is OUR SOVEREIGN I the father who watches over the happiness of so many millions of human beings, there are no words which can be found— at least in our language— to express the sentiments with which so touching and so delicious a spectacle inspired us. Tears of tenderness and affection filled every eye, and ran down every cheek, and these tears were not unaccom- panied with a prayer to heaven— a prayer which Gon will read at the bottom of all our hearts— a prayer for our good Emperor, which will, we are fully assured, reach the throne of his fathei and our father, his GOD and our GOD." I will not attempt to add a single word to this description. It is so true, so loyal, so touching, and breathes so much of that genuine patriotic feeling which was known so well in a country much nearer and dearer to us than Russia, before those vile and hateful Whigs came into power to blast and to destroy, that I am sure the account will be read with satisfaction ; and that, in these most difficult and dangerous, thorny and crooked times, the prayer will also be offered forthe Monarch of Great Britain, that he may " scatter his ene mies " " confound their politics," " frustrate their knavish tricks," and cause us all, with heart and voice, to sing, as we used to do in good olden times, *' GOD save the KING."

ADDRESSED to those who value the Use, Ornament, and Comfort of serviceable Teeth.— It is well known that these are indis- pensable assistants to our ease, and often chief auxiliaries in exertions for fame or fortune. Impressed with this conviction, Mr. A. JONES, Dentist to their Royal Highnesses the Princess Augusta and the Duchess of Gloucester, & c. & c. after devoting much time to the practice of Dental Surgery, bot » in Eng- land and on the Continent, can conscientiously pledge himself to afford relief under most cases affecting the health, use, or ease of these imperatively neces- sary appendages of the mouth. He has recently been eminently successful in restoring defective articulation and mastication, by the substitution of his newly improved Teeth for those unavoidably removed. Mr. A. Jones solicits the per- sonal attention of members ofthe faculty to these really effective inventions, and particularly recommends them to Gentlemen engaged in public speaking.— Carious and tender Teeth wholly preserved from the progress of decay, and ren- dered useful by A. Jones's unequalled Anodyne Cement. Every operation per- taining to Dental Surgery. At home from ten to five, 64, Lower Grosvenor- street, Bond street. ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL is the first production of the age, and the ORIGINAL.— This celebrated Oil generates ample growth of beautiful Hair, and will sustain it in perfection through all stages of existence. Subduing all relaxing tendencies, it firmly keeps the hair in curl and other deco- rative formation, during many hours, unimpaired by damp weather, crowded assemblies, the dance, or even equestrian exercise. In exposure to marine atmosphere, and in sea- bathing, the hair is subject to change— a glossy appearance and silky feeling of the hair being: frequently su- perseded by palpable coarseness and harsh texture. These subversive results are all averted or removed by this incomparable Oil— the friend of both sexes ; for while it facilitates the progress of female beauty, it enhances, by producing Whiskers, Mustachios, & c., the graces of manhood.

LONDON, JUNE 23. ON Tuesday their MAJESTIES arrived in town from Windsor. In the evening the KING, attended by Sir ANDREW BARNARD and one of His MAJESTY'S Aids- du- Camp, went to dine with his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON. Her MAJESTY honoured the Opera with her presence. On Wednesday the KING held a Levee, at which the pre- sentations were very numerous. The QUEEN, accompanied by a numerous suite, went to the Fancy Fair in Hauover- square. Her MAJESTY and suite went in three carriages. In the first carriage were the Queen, the Duchess of Cumberland, the Duke of Gloucester, and Prince George of Cambridge. In the other carriages were Prince Alexander and Prince Charles of Salms, the Dowager Duchess ot Leeds; the Earl of Denbigh, Chamberlain ; Countess Brownlow, Lady in Waiting; Hon. Mr. Ashley, Vice- Chamberlain; Mis9 Eden and Miss Boyle, Maids of Honour; Mr. Hudson ; and Lady Sophia Lennox, Lady in Waiting to the Duchess of Cumberland. The Duke of WELLINGTON received Her MAJESTY at the rooms. The QUEEN returned to the Palace about five. The Recorder made his report to the KING, who was graciously pleased to respite all the prisoners under sentence of death. On Thursday her MAJESTY held a Drawing- room at the Palace at St. James's, which was very numerously attended. Carriages, filled with company, arrived at the Palace before the gates were opened, and were setting down for two hours. The weather being propitious, numbers were collected at the avenues to the Palace. The Band of the Life Guards performed pieces in the course of the afternoon, alternately with the Band of the Foot Guards The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND came in state in three carriages, accompanied by Prince ALEXANDER and Prince CHARLES of Salms, and attended by Lady SOPHIA LENNOX, Baron LINSINGEN. and Sir JOHN SLADE. The Duchess of KENT, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Princess ALEXANDER and ERNEST of Wurtemberg, and his Serene Highness the Prince of LEININGEN, came in state, escorted by a party of Life Guards, and attended by Lady CHARLOTTE ST. MAUR, Sir JOHN CONROY, and Sir GEORGE ANSON. Her Royal Highness entered the Palace by the Standard Court- yard, and was received with the usual honours. The Duke of GLOUCESTER came in state to the Standard Court yard, where his Royal Highness was received with God save the King. Sir WILLOUGHBY COTTON, Colonel HIGGINS, and three other officers attended the Duke. Their MAJESTIES entered the State Rooms about two o'clock ; the QUEEN received the company in the Throne Room. In Her MAJESTY'S suite were— The Duchess Dowager of Leeds ( Mistress of the Robes), the Marchioness of Ely ( Lady in Waiting), the Marchioness Wellesley the Marchioness of Westmeatb, and Countess Brownlow ( Ladies) Miss Eden ( Maid of Honour in Waiting), Miss Hope Johnstone! Miss Bagot, and Miss Mitchell ( Maids of Honour), Lady Caroline Wood, and Lady Isabella Wemyss, the Earl of Denbigh ( Lord Chamberlain), the Earl of Erroll ( Master of the Horse), Hon. Mr, Ashley ( Vice- Chamberlain), General Macdonnell and Capt. Pechell^ R. N. ( Equerries), Mr. Hudson ( Gentleman Usher), and the Page of Honour. The presentations were very numerous, and the dresses extremely splendid, and the Court excessively crowded. This was the last Drawing- room of the season. In the evening the KING went to dine with Lord HOLLAND, upon • which occasion he was attended by Sir HERBERT TAYLOR ! Her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT and the Princess VIC TORIA proceed almost immediately to Norris, in the Isle of Wight. NEVER have the Government and its partizans displayed more weakness and malignity mixed, than during the last week. Abuse unmeasured— scurrillity unqualified— false lioods the most glaring— libels the most naked and undis guised, have filled the columns of their papers, and coarse- nesses, not to be repeated, have flowed from the tongues of their most active adherents. And why ? Why, because the KING dined with the Duke of WEL- LILNGTON on Tuesday. No sooner was His MAJESTY'S intention known than the country was told, through the ministerial journals, that certain persons ought to be ba nished from the Court, that it was unfair to Ministers to permit the existence of Tory influence, and that they could not carry on the Government if it continued. It is droll . enough that, in all their fury upon the occasion, they seem ito have forgotten that their ability to carry on the Govern- ment is not a question of serious importance with the coun- try., which, on the contrary, is universally petitioning that the KING would be graciously pleased to dismiss them. To be sure, nothing could betray their weakness and alarm so. cfearly, or so laughably, as the fuss into which they put ithemeelves about this dinner. Never did men make such fools . of themselves ; because the tone which they ought to have taken is—" that as nobody could deny the most unqualified praise and admiration to the Duke as a hero, it was highly gratifying to find that His MAJESTY, not per- mitting . political differences to interfere with a just tribute to soeh exalted merit, had expressed his intention of gracing the celebration of the anniversary of that hero's greatest victory by his Royal presence." Nobody would have thought anything of it. The KING has dined before with the Duke on the same occasion, and not a soul would have discovered that the Whigs were wretched, and jealous, and uneasy, and miserable, at the Royal visit to Apsley House. As it is, they hare exposed the littleness of their minds, the meanness of their suspicions, their despicable, paltry, doubts of their MONARCH, their sneaking apprehension that the SOVEREIGN could not visit the greatest of his sub jects, in a large party of his fellow- soldiers, to celebrate their triumph in arms, without entering into some political cabal, or taking advantage of the opportunity to talk upon the " state of affairs." Why, what fellows they must be! Do they so little know their KING as to fancy ( hat, if His MA- JESTY wished to consult the Duke of WELLINGTON, he would not send for him openly and fearlessly ? Do they really believe, as they brag, that they have got the KING all to themselves— or do they flatter themselves that their master is so afraid of them that he would condescend to make an excuse to go and dine with one of bis Generals, order to contrive to talk to him about them ? Their extraordinary agitation upon this occasion, however, has shewn the world what they really are ; and the import- ance which they have attached to the visit, shews the world exactly what they know themselves to be; for let it be cjearly understood, that more has occurred, « i4 is occurring. amongst themselves, than " the beast of a nation," as they call the PEOPLE, surmises. But even the littleness of their vast distress at the KING'S dining where he liked, is excelled, if possible, by the greater littleness— pardon the Irishism— of their exultation in finding that His MAJESTY proposed dinine with Lord HOLLAND on the following Thursday. To the Tories, this dinner was to be cooling physic— we trust it was not so to the guests— and the brag about it was more ridiculous than the bluster about the other. As for the Tories, they have meditated no blow— they have attributed nothing to the KING'S personal conduct as a private individual: ft was conscience that made cowards of the Whigs— and bullies too. The Tories never fancied that the KING'S visit to the DUKE meant more than it appeared to be ; all the motives, and all the doubts, and wonderments and alarms, were furnished by the Whigs. On Monday week, the KING dined with the Duke of'NoRTHUMBER LAND ; on Thursday, with Sir WATHEN WALLER and Lady HOWE; on Tuesday, with the Duke of WELLINGTON and on Thursday, with Lord HOLLAND; and if Ministers and their newspapers had made no remark, nobody would have seen anything extraordinary in it; as it is, everybody sees, as we have already said, the really ticklish, tottering, state in which the Destructives are placed, and the dread which they have of the appearance of the KING'S political impartiality, even in his commonest actions. As for Lord HOLLAND'S dinner being a set- off against the Duke of WELLINGTON'S, since they have made a noise about it, and really bring it forward as a public affair and as a matter of triumph ( as if Lord GREY had made a com- promise with the KING upon the subject), we must say that in that point of view Lord HOLLAND'S dinner is no such thing. The KING goes to the Duke of WELLINGTON'S on the anniversary of his most glorious victory to dine with him, surrounded by all the illustrious Chiefs who were his companions in arms, to bestow the tribute of his Kingly esteem and gratitude for the conquests his noble guest had achieved. He goes to Lord HOLLAND'S, because his Lord- ship's son has married one of His MAJESTY'S daughters, and because Lord HOLLAND, for many reasons, cannot conve- niently go to Windsor, and because the KING is kind, hearted, and unaffected, and affectionate. The circum- stances, therefore, are not parallel; nor can the two dinners since they are made of such importance, be brought into any fair comparison. Besides, there is another reason why they are totally different.— To Lord HOLLAND'S the KING was begged and entreated to go, and if the Ministerial news- papers are to be credited, much exultation was expressed by the Government that they had. after a vast deal of Tayloring, completed the job. To the Duke of WELLING- TON'S the KING condescended to invite himself. The littleness is, therefore, in the jealousy and apprehen- sion which have been so glaringly displayed ; shuffling and under- handed in all they do themselves, they dare to suspect others of similar sinister conduct, and such is the weakness of their heads or the strength of their potations ( we speak of the literary part of the Cabinet), that in the phrenzy of horror at losing their offices, they break out into invectives which even their example will not induce their opponents to copy, and attack indiscriminately men and women, without recollecting that nothing but forbearance from wounding the feelings of unoffending individuals preserves them from exposures to which, if they look back to the official records of their own Administration, they can- not fail to feel themselves fearfully liable. THERE was a debate upon the Irish Tithe Bill in the Lords on Friday, in which, as usual, the Ministers cut a very sorry figure. Their friend, the Times, endeavours to makeitajoke, and in the effort, makes an attemptat a joke itself, in which it fails most seriously. Lord BROUGHAM, it seems, came forward in the course of the debate, and spoke ( according to the Times'' report) thus;— The Lord CHANCELLOR said that he did not come forward to say a single word on the subject matter of the Noble Earl's motion ; but in consequence of certain observations which had been made respecting the promotion of an eminent individual at the Irish bar, a matter which lay in the department of his noble and learned friend the Lord Chancellor for Ireland in the first instance, and in his own depart- ment as head of the law in the second, he felt that he should not dis- charge his duty, either in his own station or in regard to his noble and learned friend, if he did not say that, so far from shrinking from any responsibility, or from any share of the responsibility, which attached to the promotion of that eminent individual, he challenged his share of it, and held that promotion to be an act of common justice, and not a matter of personal predilection and favour. It was a matter of course— a right, as strong a personal right, as any lawyer could have, standing in the eminent situation in which that eminent individual stood before the country. He held thatno man's political conduct, so long as he kept within the line of the law, within which that eminent individual always had kept,— that no man who had not disqualified himself by absolute and undeniable public misconduct from receiving legal promotion could, without injustice done, not to him only, but also to the profession of which he formed a part, and not only to the profession, but also to his clients, who had a right to his assistance,— that no man, without the treble injustice, could be kept from the enjoyment of those honours which, as a matter of course had been conferred by his noble and learned friend on Mr. O'Connell. Who that reads this, will not see how much self predomi- nates ? For the " eminent individual," as Lord BROUGHAM chose to call Mr. O'CONNELL, Lord BROUGHAM has the most unqualified contempt; but the flourish gave him an opportunity of flinging a reproach at those who suffered Lord BROUGHAM himself to potter on, in a stuff gown, run dry of business in London, beaten to shivers on the Northern Circuit by FREDERICK POLLOCK, and almost on the point of relinquishing his profession, until at length he received from the hands of the CHANCELLOR, whom he now attempts to oppose, the silken object of his ambition. The Times, however, is wrong with respect to Mr. O'CON- NELL. BROUGHAM did not commit himself by stating what the extent of the favour conferred upon Mr. O'CONNELL actually was. The Times, less cautious, does ; and says :— " Another charge related also to the same Mr. O'CONNELL— viz., that Ministers had' promoted' the learned gentleman in his pro- fession, thereby . signifying that they had improved his stuff gown into a silk one. This us called a premium on agitation, & c.'' It is curious enough to find the Times vindicating O'CON- NELL. However, in its facts the Times is wrong. At the period when some of the Cabinet were intriguing against Lord GREY to make O'CONNELL Irish Attorney General ( Sir HENRY PARNELL and Lord DUNCANNON wiji recollect the time when O'CONNELL went off suddenly on the Saturday, after the late Cabinet on Friday night)— at that period Mr. O'CONNELL was not only made a King's Counsel, as the Times says,— not only was " his stuff gown changed into a silk one, but Mr. O'CONNELL receiwj a patent pf precedency, which at one Mow carried him over the heads of all the King's Counsel, and stationed him in rank between the first and second Serjeant— there being in Ireland but three ; the effect of this patent and this precedence being to place his name in the Commission of Assize next to that of the Judge; so that if illness or any accident should occur to his Lordship, Mr. DANIEL O'CONNELL, the Agitator, would, assume the Judgment seat, and try such Rockites, Whitefeet, and other people of the same principles, as might be brought before him. This, we understand, to be the truth ; so that the simple- process of conversion of stuff into silk is not all that has been undertaken as " a premium for agitation"— a premium,, however, which could scarcely be withheld, after Lord ANGLESEA'S parting admonition, by a Ministry who was forced to keep him in office, and soothe his Lordship's disap- poinments on other points by the promise of a Dukedom. But if affairs looked bad for Ministers in the House of" Lords on Friday, what shall we say of the Commons ?— what shall we say of the bold STANLEY, who, in his cha- racter of Colonial Secretary, continues to manage Irish affairs ? In Committee upon the Irish Temporalities Bill, Lord OXMANTOWN beat the Government upon clause 132 by a majority of 36 ; and as to clause 147, the clause of the Bill, containing the essence— the spirit— the object of the Bill, Mr. STANLEY, after blustering and blundering for a considerable time, announced that Ministers had abandoned it ; that is to say, for the sake of their offices, they had sur- rendered their principles, and given up that which they had held out as a premium to the Irish Members to induce them to vote for the Coercion Bill. The yells and noises with which this mean and dastardly determination was received, were, perhaps, never equalled in the House of Commons; and O'CONNELL, followed by HUME, proceeded to deal out language to His MAJESTY'S Ministers, to which they are scarcely yet accustomed, but which they will hear, not only within the walls, but from every part of the kingdom. Mr. O'CONNELL called their conduct'' treachery, so help him God— so base an act of treachery he never knew, nor where to look for its example." Mr. HUME thought there was more cause for sorrow that anger at the figure which His MajESTv's Ministers cut. Who, he would ask, was there that understood anything as being the principle of the measure introduced by the Noble Lord and the Right Honourable Gentleman but that which they had now given up, and upon which, as men of honour and good faith, if it could not be carried, they stood pledged to resign their places.—{ Hear, hear, hear.)— After such a pledge as they had given, as soon as they found them- selves unable to carry the measure through, that moment they should have retired from office.—{ Cheers.)— They had no other course left them as honest public men after they had obtained the Coercion Bill by pledging themselves to do so.—{ Cheers.) Mr. WHITTLE HARVEY congratulated the Tory Peers upon having a Government subservient to their wishes, and through which they could have their principles enforced without taking upon them their responsibility.—{ Cheering.) — It might be very well for the To- ries, but he could not comprehend upon what principle the Re forming Government could hesitate to enforce this clause. The chief grounds upon which the question of Parliamentary Reform was placed were, that unless the people were to be made to have a voice in the matter, through their Representatives in Parliament, no Ecclesiastical Reform could be effected. Why, in the worst days of Toryism, when that ( the Treasury bench) seat was its hotbed, nothing so rankly injurious to all Ecclesiastical Reform could have sprung from it as this proposition. Look at the remaining objects of the Bill. Was there any one subjectwhich itembraced half so promi- nent in the minds of the people of this country at the present mo- ment as that of applying the superabundant wealth of the church to the relief of that distress which pressed on every side? The re- duction of the number of the Bishops, instead of being a relief, waa an injury and an aggravation.—{ Hear, hear, hear.) Sir ROBERT PEEL disclaimed being a party to any compromise. He must observe, however, that the reasons stated by an Honourable Member for abolishing all the IrishBishoprics except four, appeared to him most strange and inconsistent. He would reduce the number to four, because there were but four who had seats in Parliament. This was, indeed, a most extraordinary way of promoting the residence of the Bishops.—{ A laugh.)— He approved of the course now proposed by Ministers, but would enter into no pledges respect- ing any other part of the Bill.—( Cheers.) Colonel DA VIES expressed his unqualified disgust at the conduct of Ministers. He maintained that the House had consented to the Coercive Bill for the temporary tranquillizing of Ireland only on the understanding that the present measure would be passed as a means of permanent tranquillization. By abandoning this measure Minis- ters had degraded themselves, and they never could regain the respect or confidence of the people. The people had been blinded by the professions of the Ministers, but by this time they began to see how egregiously they had been imposed upon. He had never thought to see the Administration sink to so low a pitch of degrada- tion. It was clearly absurd that the House should emasculate measures of this sort from a fear of what might occur in the enemy's camp.—{ Hear, hear.)— If such were to be the conduct of the present Ministers he should feel very much disposed to give his adhesion to the other party. If they were to have Tory proceedings, let them be under Tory banners. After several Members bad expressed similar views and opinions the clause was expunged by a majority of 132. Thus has been got rid of the abominable principle of this odious Bill, which now may be entirely set at rest by the Lords without necessarily casting upon their Lordships the imputation of any desire to disturb the Government or- unseat the Ministers. Ministers are— by their own admis- sion— beaten, and have retreated. They, however, take as much killing as badgers, and will to- morrow be all alive- and merry again— and if such a life of scorn, contempt,, hatred, and ridicule be agreeable to them, long may they live. THE Times publishes yesterday from an evening paper an extract of a letter, said to have been sent by the KING to certain of the Bishops on their recent political votes.— We believe the whole thing to he a fabrication ; if it be not, who wrote the letter? Upon this alleged extract the Times. observes:— " This is another proof of the firmness and sincerity with which' the KING supports his Ministers ?" What is the first proof to which the Times refers ? His- MAJESTY'S having dined with Lord HOLLAND ? Nobodjr ever said that the KING did not support his Ministers, except themselves; they told the country so, and wept because the KING went to dine with the Duke of WELLINGTON. WE are told of a ludicrous scene which took place a few days since at Holland House— not on that day when, by the persuasive compromise of Lord GREY, Lord HOLLAND ob- tained the honour of a visit from his MAJESTY— but on the day when the collective wisdom of the Ministry was deposited upon its musty- smelling floors at a Cabinet dinner. As far as the dinner went, all went well— upon certafic ^ established gastronomical rules there can be neither discus- sion / ior division,— hut, unfortunately, there was business to do, or at least, a make- believe of business to be imposed upon the subordinates of the establishment; and accordingly the Cabinet devoted itself to the consideration of one or two. of the leading questions, of which they are much inthe iabit Jmie 23.' JOHN BULL: 197 of talking, but- which they neither understand, nor expect to I DINGE exerted himself in the House of Commons upon this « » rry during the present Session. I point. Where is lie noiv ? If the state of these Their deliberations continued for some time, the conversa- tion carried on in an under tone, and the course to be pur- sued determined on, when, amidst the obscurity and gloom • with which the councillors were enveloped, it was all at once • discovered that two of their body were fast asleep— Lord MELBOURNE on one sofa, on one side of the room, and Mr. CHARLES'GRANT on another sofa, on the other side of the room— the former worn out with ennui, and the latter over- come by port wine. Lord GREY, who can endure a joke, if there happen to be a little mischief in it, instantly made a sign to his colleagues to make no noise, but to follow him out of the room, bringing • with them ail the candles. The idea was brilliant— to see the Premier practically facetious was delightful. Away they went, according to orders, the First Lord of the Admi- ralty bearing off a lamp, which nobody else in the Govern- ment could lift, and the Duchy of Lancaster bringing up the rear as fast as his gout would would let him. Shortly after the execution of this design— almost the only measure they have carried, and certainly the only one upon which they have been unanimous— the sudden silence in the apartment attracted the attention of Lady HOLLAND ( who Las no seat : in the Cabinet, but who had been, nevertheless, attending its deliberations in the next room), and her Lady- ship forthwith proceeded with a candle to inquire the cause of the awful stillness which prevailed. The noise of her Lady- ship's entrance, and the sudden burst of light, awoke the two sleeping beauties, who, rousing themselves from their slumbers, beheld before them the astonished mistress of the house Her Ladyship's arrival was very seasonable ; a quarter of an hour later, and the whole Ministry, except the " sleep ing beauties" themselves, would have been on their road to town. Surely if he is not at work upon it already, H. B. ought to give us a graphic sketch of this. The best part of the joke is, that the two subjects under discussion while MELBOURNE and GRANT were asleep were— the internal state of the country in the factory districts, and the proposed modifications of the East India Company's Charter. WE have several times called the attention of our readers to the shameful, pettifogging system which has been for some time in operation at the War- office, of purchasing up the pensions of our veteran soldiers at rates extremely advantageous to Government; that is to say, buying up the poor man's rights at a most inadequate price, thus convert- ing that department into a huckster's shop, or rather the dirty counting- house of a Jew broker. By accounts received from Canada we find that all our worst fears for the poor deluded individuals who have been over- reached into selling their pensions for inadequate sums, to be disbursed upon their emigration and settlement in America, have been already realized. The meanness— the injustice— nay, we might almost call it fraud— by which these poor worn- our defenders of their country have suffered, had its origin in the vanity of making a show of economy in the military expenditure of the country ; from its permanency we in justice must attribute the first idea of the dirty scheme to some subordinate busy- body : not that the adoption of so mean an expedient by the different ostensible heads of the department can be justified by the want of originality in the design. Sixty thousand pounds have been paid to these poor suffer- ers, in order that the amount of pensions might be diminished ( and it would be worth while to move for a return of the pensions thus redeemed, with the ages, & c., of the pension- ers), which sixty thousand pounds might just as well have been flung into the sea, or settled upon Lord GREY'S family. The poor men who have been induced to accept of it, in full of all demands, are, for the greatest part, destitute, and starving in the exile to which their transportation was kindly facilitated by the Government: they have been robbed of their ready money by needy adventurers who had pre- ceded them in emigration, and were ready to pounce upon them on their arrival; or they have been unable to obtain employment, and so have been constrained to live upon the little capital which, through the equitable bounty of the War- office, they actually possessed, and are novr a burthen upon the colony, suffering the most abject distress. We ask if Englishmen will bear this ? if the country, which is abie to pay twenty millions of money to jeopardise all our most valuable possessions, will, for the sakeof sixty thousand pounds, suffer its brave defenders to linger out the latter days of their lives in exile and beggary, in order that the Army Estimates, for the next year, may appear less than they were the year before ? There is, we perceive, a resource yet left for some of those who are able to work— for in the Quebec Mercury of the 16th of May there appears an advertisement, signed by Mr. BUCHANAN, the chief agent for settlers, " announcing that ajl emigrants who reach York, in Upper Canada, and may require it, will be employed by Government;" an announce- ment followed by some high praises upon the exertions which were making in Quebec to clean the streets! from which we may natually infer that the unfortunate old soldier who has spent his best days in fighting the battles of his country is to be reduced— as a great favour on the part of our Govern- ment— to the station of a scavenger in the Colonies. We say this mock- compact, this sham- bargain, must be cancelled— the soldier must have his rights— rights which he has not legally or justly forfeited. The shameful order from the War- office, which encreased the period of the sol- dier's service and diminished his pension, has died away. The brutal regulation for the Navy which issued from the Admiralty, and which was revolting and beastly, has been rescinded. So must this commutation be annulled, and the veterans released from their thraldom. The system, however, we believe to be still at work, and with higher grades of the army than poor privates, or cor- porals, or Serjeants. We have heard that the War- office drives bargains with officers for the redemption of their half- pay ; that every facility and encouragement is afforded at the War Office to this traffic, and that instances are already OB record where men, hurried or worried for an immediate supply of ready money, have received infinitely less than others who could afford to stand out, and resist the haggling cf the Governmenf. With officers and gentlemen, ruinous as the consequences of frequenting this cheap sale- shop may be, it is not yet so dreadful in its effects as that of the purchase of the poor old soldier's pittance ; but it altogether exhibits a principle so mean, so base, and so erroneous, that we sincerely hope the subject will be speedily brought before Parliament. We recollect that, upon a former occasion, Sir HENRY HAR- particular point, poor men is really what it has been represented to us in letters from Canada, and he is aware of it, why does he not again step forward as their friend and champion ? SEVERAL persons have expressed their surprise that the Duke of HESSE DARMSTADT should be induced to spare his " Brass Band" for a whole season in order that they may ex- hibit publicly in England. To us this seems nothing extra- ordinary; our KING, like the Duke of HESSE DARMSTADT, has at present a " BRASS BAND "— they perform in Downing- street and in the two Houses of Parliament every day— Sundays not excepted. Like the Duke's musicians, their performances are remarkable rather for noise than harmony, and we have no doubt, if His MAJESTY could induce them to go, he would be just as ready to get rid of them, as the Duke of HESSE DARMSTADT. The noise these bands make, leads us to believe that they regulate their blunders, and endeavour to conceal their ignorance, by an extraordinary exertion of lungs, under one of HOYLE'S rules for bad whist- players—" Whenever you are in doubt, trump it" . A DISCUSSION arose on Monday in the House of Lords be- tween Lord LYNDHURST and Lord BROUGHAM, in which the latter Lord lost, what a wag might say, he ought to be too happy to lose— his temper. Like a boxer, his Lordship, by fighting wild, laid himself open to the straight blows of his learned and noble antagonist, who proved to demonstration that the Local Courts' Bill— useful as every body believes only as it gives increased patronage to the CHANCELLOR himself, — will completely overthrow the whole practice of the law, and subject the country to a vast but needless expense. The legal knowledge and political foresight which Lord LYNDHURST displayed in his elaborate address to the House, made the Chancellor writhe, and when he had put the question his Lordship started up to support his Bill in a manner, if not indecorous, at least unusual. The effect of his Lordship's speech was to display to his auditors the real temper of his mind. The acumen of Lord LYNDHURST, who cut the Bill to pieces, on one hand, and the apathy of all the Noble Lords on the Ministerial side of the House in its defence, had nettled and curdled, and soured and in- flamed him, and being restrained for many reasons from venting his spleen upon the Noble Lord to whom he was at- tempting to reply, he betook himself to an abuse of the pro- fession by which he has lived ever since he has had anything to live upon ( except indeed Review- writing), and with the most unsparing ferocity denounced all the lawyers in the land, whether judges, Serjeants, barristers, solicitors, or attorneys; a denounciation which either occasioned, or nearly occasioned, a meeting of the profession on Wednes- day. On Friday Lord LYNDHURST battled the same job ( the Bill, in the first instance, having been printed with a whole line containing one of its most important provisions omitted), and insisted upon having the schedules printed previously to discussing the Bill. Lord BROUGHAM floundered, but Lord LYNDHUUST adhered to his purpose, and the House went into Committee, when the Chancellor said he would not propose that the schedule of fees should be insisted upon, if they would but let the Bill go on. Lord ELLENBOROUGH hinted that the increased expense to the country by the Bill would be between 2oO and 300,0001. This the Chancellor did not deny, but said that could be altered. The Bill, however, was committed, and ordered for further consideration to- morrow, by which time, as Lord LYNDHURST disired, the schedules will be printed. IN the House of Commons on Tuesday a resolution was agreed to, " That the Commissioners for the reduction of the national debt be authorised to appropriate such portion of the money issued to them towards the reduction of the national debt as they may think fit for the purchase of the reversion of perpetual and redeemable annuities." Lord ALTHORP stated that the object of the resolution was to enable the Commissioners to convert interminable into term- inable annuities, that being the only practicable mode, in his opinion, of effectually reducing the amount of the national debt. This resolution has caused a considerable sensation in the City, and a spirit of opposition to the ministerial measure not unmingled with surprise; inasmuch as the plan is directly at variance with the act which it proposes to amend, and is neither more nor less than a flagrant breach of faith to all persons who laid out their money in annuities under its pro- visions. Why any surprise should be excited by such con- duct in a Government which has just treated the West India planters and proprietors upon precisely the same principle, we know not;— but it cuts more home— it strikes more directly and immediately at the interests of the people of the mother country, and therefore is felt the more keenly and suddenly; nor is the wound rendered less poignant by the reflection that the next healing measure of a ministry who begin with this as a practicable mode of reducing the national debt, " may be of a nature and character more seriously important to the public credit." The City correspondent of the Times newspaper explains the strong feeling against the scheme to have arisen from these circumstances:— " The original Annuity Act, which passed in 1829, and was brought forward by Mr. GOULBURN, was in the course of about twelve months to double the amount of Government Annuities previously in exist- ence, but that after the events in Paris and in Brussels in 1830, the value of these annuities, in proportion with that ot Consols, declined, and since that time the National Debt Office has been scarcely at all resorted to for the purchase of them. This has continued to be the case up to the present time, and the reason that these securities con- tinue to be purchased at a cheaper rate in the open market. Now, the holders of all such annuities are necessarily among the first to complain of the new measure, one consequence of which they foresee will be that of reducing stil 1 lower the value of these annuities. The plans of Government, so far as regards the granting of annuities, were considered by them to have been completed in 1829: if those plans are now deviated from, it must be in giving greater propor- tionate advantages to the new annuitants, which to them would be unjust, and as has been remarked before, a breach of faith. If greater advantages are not given, then the scheme cannot take effect, inasmuch as in the state of the market such annuities will no longer sell at the fixed Government rate. " Another objection to the plan, and from a different class of reasoners, is, that no immediate relief to the public is afforded by it, but that the same rate of expenditure in the shape of interest on the public dsbt must continue for a long series of years, while what the people at large want is some diminution of the existing pressure, " As a measure operating, or likely to operate, to any extent in the conversion of fixed debt into a terminable one, its success is held to be extremely doubtful. The stockholders in general adhere in all cases to that form of investment to which they have been ac- customed, and the chief traffic in annuities takes place among the great bankers and capitalists, or some of the insurance companies, and other public bodies, who generally contrive to gain an undue advantage, and to overreach the Government in the bargains they make." Of the justice of the compliment which the Times pays to the " great bankers and capitalists, the insurance companies, and other public bodies," we do not pretend to give an opi- nion— If, however, the system of the leading men of our great metropolis is to gain undue advantages and over- reach the Government, we can only say, they had better make the best of their time— they never will have another such op- portunity if they live for a thousand years. WHATEVER difference of opinion may exist as to Lord BROUGHAM'S political merits, nobody can for a moment doubt his pre- eminent qualifications for establishing a system of " cheap law." His Lordship's own law has long been, held very cheap indeed ; and under his guidance the Court of Chancery may fairly be considered the first establishment in England for the sale of that desirable article— the Privy Council occasionally interposing itself as a " Court of Recon- cilementwhen customers happen to think the goods faulty, and the shopkeeper refuses to change them. A new feather has been placed in the cap of Ministers.. France, which stood pledged to England that its expedition to Algiers had not for its object any extension of possession,, or any attempt at colonization, has now proclaimed its inten- tion of settling there, and the French Government has been indulging in the description of this splendid accession of territory, which will produce to that country the wealth and. advantages of a new India. This is all French bravado and absurdity, unless that tone is taken to wheedle our Government into the belief that such are the real objects of the appropriation by France to itself of Algiers ; but that the possession of Algiers will be to the Frenrli a most important and serious advantage, nobody can doubt. That it is gone, we believe ; all correspondence between LONDON and PARIS on the subject has ceased, and, we suppose, any further observations about it would offend the Citizen King, our excellent friend, who has already told us that he likes to keep on good terms with us, to ad- vance his own interests. Lord ABERDEEN, on Friday, made an observation or two upon the subject, to which Lord GREY replied, that all he knew of what had passed in the Chamber of Deputies upon the subject— he had read in the newspapers ! Lord LONDONDERRY made a few pertinent remarks on our negociations, in which the names of Lord DURHAM, Sir STRATFORD CANNING, and LordPoNSONBY, stand immor- talized. LordDURHAM/ AZVERFin Russia; Sir STRATFORD failed in Spain; and Lord PONSONBY did not get to Con- stantinople till the treaty was concluded. Of one thing there is a certainty, in which we find some consolation— if the influence of England at the Porte is gone, that of France is gone too. IT appears that the West Indian Body have appointed a Committee to watch the progress of the spoliation and de- struction Bill through Parliament. The general wish and feeling expressed by the high- minded and honourable per- sons who are by these enactments to be robbed of their pro- perty, are that the Colonial Legislatures should afford every fair trial to the scheme of Government; emulating in this respect the Conservatives of England, who, upon the two vital questions of Popish Emancipation and Reform, have acted upon the principles of the venerable Earl of ELDON, in loyally obeying the law when enacted, which, while the struggle against it could be made, they had vigorously opposed. In some of the colonies, it is thought the people will not second the conciliatory efforts of the non- resident proprietors,, or agree to the recommendations of the Local Legislatures. Jamaica is represented as most likely to resist to the utmost ; and, with respect to our Oriental possessions, we have little doubt that the addition of the present measure, to those which have already shaken the government of Mauritius to its foundation, will bring that island to a state which will render it necessary— if our Ministers think the colony worth keep- ing— to adopt measures and employ a force much stronger, and far greater, than they at present imagine. The West Indian Body seem to put faith in Mr. STAN- LEY'S hints— and the tone of his speech— and to believe that, although the principle ( i. e. the total abolition of slavery ! ! .') of his measure will apply to all our colonial possessions, the details will be filled up with a due regard to the peculiar circumstances and local habits of the different Islands. The West Indian Body have exceeding confidence. We cannot but recollect the mode in which the Parliamen- tary Committees have been god rid of, and the precipitancy with which the vital measure has been pushed forward. We hope, however, if the West Indians derive any satisfaction from so small a modification of the fatal plan, that they may not be disappointed. POST- OFKICE REGULATION. A considerable sensation has been created in the metro- polis, in consequence of a general seizure of coach- parcels, which were ultimately found to contain letters, contrary to the Post- office regulations, and by informations having been pressed against the offending parties. As the Bristol mail was about to leave London, all the parcels were taken out of the coach by the officers of the Post- office, and we under- stand that one firm in Bristol has been subsequently served with no less than six Exchequer writs.— Bristol Mirror. This is all extremely fine and very vigilant, and there can. be no doubt that the offenders are guilty of great meanness, to call it by no more criminal name; but we are, neverthe- less, entirely at a loss to understand by what law the parcels in question were opened. We must not be told of a Post- office regulation. The Duke of RICHMOND must find some other ground for so tyrannical an act as the breaking open of mercantile parcels, which are, by law, permitted each to contain a letter of advice, which may contain commu- nications of the most important and confidential nature. His Grace may borrow hints from the French Post- office, and enter into treaties with the French mail- contractors, but we must have no breaking open parcels, if his Grace jleases. We know the liberality of Whig Governments: nit this system of espionage Englishmen will not peace- ably ep. dure. The time to have made the search was when the parcels were brought to the office to be booked ; then the bearer should have been secured, and the officer have proceeded to the sender of the parcel, and demanded that it should be opened by him, in the officer's presence. This might have been legal, under the suspicion alleged to exist: what has happened will most certainly not be suffered to rest where it is. 198 JOHN BULL. June 23. ~~ PEMXCAN. On Tuesday, his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON gave his usual dinner on the anniversary of the glorious battle of Waterloo, at which his Grace was honoured by the presence of the KING. The party, consisting of seventy ( with the exception of Earl BATHURST, who was present as having been Secretary at War during the period of our glorious successes over the French) were in uniform, wearing all their well earned orders and decorations. Nothing could be more splendid than the banquet, or more gratifying to the feelings of every one present, than the manner in which the evening was passed. Among the company were:— General Lord Hill, Lieutenant Generals Sir James Kempt, John Byng, Colquhoun Grant, Lord Edward Somerset, Sir Charles Colville, Sir Hussey Vivian, Sir Pere- grine Maitland ; Major- Generals Sir Edward Kerrison, Andrew Barnard, Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Lord Robert Manners, Sir Colin Campbell, Sir Henry Hardinge, Sir George Quentin, Sir A. Wood- ford ; Colonels Lord Saltoun, Lord Arthur Hill, Fremantle, Towns- Lend, Sir W. Gomm, Sir Robert Gardiner, Elphinstone, Sir George gavill, G. Woodford, Murray, Egerton, Sir A. Dickson, Sir C. B Vere, D'Oyley, & c. The following " anecdotes" of the day have appeared in the papers of the week :— " When the KING dined with the Duke of WELLINGTON on Tues- day, he was received by the Duke at entering, on his knee. The KING stopped his kneeling, raised him, and shook his Grace's hand heartily in both his ( his MAJESTY'S). At dinner, when the Duke's old servant and particular attendant ( who had in some action saved his life) came for some purpose immediately behind him, the KING turned round, spoke most cordially to him, and shook him by the hand. Such circumstances are always interesting." " On Tuesday evening, when his MAJESTY dined with the Duke of WELLINGTON, in honour of the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, on the cloth being removed, preparatory to the health of his Grace being drunk, his MAJESTY-, addressing the Duke, said, t. WELLINGTON, have you no other persons in the house that fought at Waterloo?" The Duke answered his Sovereign in the negative; upon which the KING replied, " O yes, there are; for I saw two policemen in the hall wearing the Waterloo medal; let them be called in, and join in drinking your health." The commands of the KING were instantly obeyed, and Mr. Superintendent MAY, of the A division of police, and Mr. Inspector ADAMSON, of the same division, were introduced, and had the honour of drinking the Duke of WELLINGTON'S health in the presence of his MAJESTY." Mr. WINTER SCOTT, the successful opponent of the Marquis of DOURO at the election for South Hampshire, has been appointed by the Duke of WELLINGTON ( Lord Lieutenant) Deputy Lieutenant for the county. A splendid dinner and a magnificent service of plate were given, on Tuesday, to Mr. WRANGHAM, late Member for Sudbury, by the electors of that town. A most numerous company assembled, and the day passed off with the greatest hilarity and pleasure. The members of the Conservative Club, at Nottingham, assem- bling at the Maypole Inn, dined together on Tuesday last, in a large room in the factory lately occupied by Messrs. LINGFORD, in Parlia- ment- street. The room was tastefully ornamented with evergreens, ribbons, & c., and at the back of the seat of the Chairman ( A. MANSON, Esq., M. D.) was placed a full length portrait of that Gen- tleman, presented by the Society of which lie is the President. Two hundred members of the Club, besides visitors, sat down to dinner. The cloth being drawn, the healths of the KING ( three times three); the QUEEN ( three times three); the Duke of WELLINGTON ( four times four, and one cheer more); the Duke of NEWCASTLE ( three times three); Lord ELDON, and other distinguished Noblemen, were drunk with enthusiasm. The increase of Members since the last anniversary was stated to be 500. It was not until a late hour that the meeting broke up, when all confessed that greater harmony, conviviality, and good feeling never prevailed. Several dinners took place on the same day in other parts of the town. ( Extract from the Indian Register.) BAPTISM OF BABOO KHISTMOHUN BANERJEE, EDITOR OF THE ENGLISH NEWSPAPER " THE ENQUIRER." One of the most solemn and at the same time gratifying scenes that I ever witnessed, was exhibited last evening at the house of the Rev. A. DUFF. The occasion was the public avowal and profession of Christianity, sealed by the ordinance of baptism, of an intelligent Coolin Brahmin, the well- known editor of the Enquirer newspaper. The sacred ordinance was administered in the presence of a nume- rous and highly respectable company of ladies and gentlemen, and of upwards of forty natives, the majority of whom nrequondam pupils ofithe Hindoo College, and some of its brightest ornaments.— This highly interesting ceremony sounds odd to European ears; not that the Christianizing of newspaper editors would be at all a needless or unimportant process in England. The following letter from Oporto, June 2, has been received by the Standard :— " The army of Don MIGUEL is composed of 40.000 men at least; I should rather say 41,000. [ have seen them all passed in review.— The enthusiasm of the troops is beyond all conception, much less expression. If Don PEDRO should be advised to leave Oporto, by whatever side it may be, the besieging army will enter that city on the other side. The political, or property- hunting pillagers and adventurers in Oporto are estimated at 6,000 troops. For more than six weeks past they have only been supplied with a little cocoa, a small portion of rice, and a little wine. A considerable number o vessels, charged with fresh provisions, which have arrived from the ports of England and France, have presented themselves at the mouth of the Douro, but our batteries have not permitted them to approach. A considerable number have therefore put to sea. It is reported that General SOLIGNAC, despairing of success, and feeling that he is serving a hopeless cause, is preparing to return to France. Considerable sums have arrived here, arising from the loan made in Paris and London. A portion of this money has been applied in completing and arming the royal fleet, which should have just quitted Lisbon at the moment I am writing. This fleet is composed of two menofwar, four frigates, three schooners, and two brigs.— They state that three steam- boats, lately purchased in England for the account of the KING, will shortly arrive here. Nothing can ex- ceed the loyalty and devotion of the Portuguese to tlie cause of their old Monarchy and their national institutions; and every thing an- nounces that Portugal will soon be delivered from the buccaneers who now infest her." By the arrival of a ship of war from Malta, we have particu- lars of an attack made by his Majesty's ship Beacon upon the pirates of Kymirer, who were threatening the inhabitants of Thessos with the destruction of their houses and property, if their demands were not complied with. On approaching, eight piratical boats were dis- covered, which were pursued by the Beacon's cutters, and seven of them captured. The number of pirates captured was 140 with four light guns, 133 stand of small arms, and about 5000 rounds of amuni- tion. About 60 escaped, and fled to the mountains.— The money found on the persons of these pirates amounted to 41,000 piastres. A gentleman left the pier- head at Kingstown, Dublin, at 5 o'clock on Monday last, and dined in Cheltenham at half past- six on Tuesday — the distance being nearly two hundred and sixty miles. MATHEWS'S collection of pictures attracts not only the lovers of the drama, but the patrons of all the arts, to the Queen's Bazaar. It is a curious and interesting assemblage of paintings, many of which are intrinsically valuable. The Catalogue raisonne is worth reading. We suppose the pictures will eventually be disposed of by auction. The spread of canvass betokens a sale. Active preparations seem to be making for the theatrical coalition campaign. We see that by some of the Bills in Parliament, or the proposals in Committee, or something of the sort, that eighteen playhouses, including those of Greenwich and Woolwich, are to be considered regular theatres. This will be a most advantageous con- cession to their managers, all of whom already act the legitimate drama without permission, and all of whom, with the exception of YATES and Madame VESTRIS, are in a state of poverty. To have the drama kept respectable, to give it an interest in the public eye, and to secure a supply of talent, literary and histrionic, ade- quate to the demands of the public, the two Winter and one Summer Theatre should alone be considered regular and legitimate play- houses. This is not a question of experiment, the fact has been proved, and the Drama, taking its authors and actors into the scale, has never flourished since what, in the cant and jargon of the present day is called the " monopoly," ceased to exist. Where are the authors to write for eighteen Theatres r— where the players to act in them ? As it is, it is with the greatest difficulty a Comedy can be acted; and as for Tragedy, except indeed the half melo- dramatic things of recent growth, there does not exist a theatrical company competent to perform one. Divide this mass of inability by eighteen, and see what will happen. However, so as old institutions are overthrown, and new principles introduced, the gallery company will be de- lighted ; and, as they at present form the principal part of theatrical audiences, there can be no doubt but that the contrivers of the new scheme will be adequately compensated for their trouble. Mr. RANKIN has been appointed to succeed Sir JOHN JEFFCOTT at Sierra Leone, and kissed hands on the appointment. Mr. WHATELY, of the Oxford Circuit, is said to have been named one of the Judges of the Supreme Court at Calcutta. It is said that Colonel DAVIES is about to take office. He has re- cently voted against Ministers, which renders it probable ; at all events, Worcester is ina state of preparatory canvass. The Fancy fair at the Hanover- square rooms has been most bril- liantly attended. On the first day. Her MAJESTY and suite, in- cluding ( by command) his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON, honoured the rooms with her presence: the crowd was immense, and the reception of her MAJESTY enthusiastic. It is in few nations of the earth that such a combination of beauty, rank, and wealth, in the sacred cause of charity could be found— the collection will be no doubt very great. It is thought the QUEEN will again visit the splen- did and gratifying scene. The Duke of BRUNSWICK quitted Brighton on Sunday for Dover, to embark thence for the opposite coast. His Highness purposed remaining in Brighton till Wednesday, but having received a letter from London, which demanded his immediate attention, he left the town suddenly. We learn that the Clyde steamer, while on her passage from Glasgow to Liverpool, with upwards of 100 passengers, struck, about one o'clock on Sunday morning last, on a rock near Ardwall Bay. The vessel was speedily got off, and, while filling fast, was, by the utmost exertions, run a distance of four miles intaPortnes- sock, where fortunately all the passengers were landed in safety. Immediately after the Clyde sunk .— Dumfries Courier. There is no truth in the report of the serious illness of the Mar- quess of HERTFORD. Lord EGREMONT has ajain made a noble donation of 1,0001. to the Chichester Infirmary. It is generally understood that the present LORD MAYOR will be created a Baronet. Following Sir JOHN KEY-, the honour may not be considered great; but such as it is, Sir PETER LAURIE richly deserves it. DEATH OF LADY HALFORO.— Died on Monday, at her residence in Curzon- street, May- fair, Lady ELIZABETH BARBARA, wife of Sir HENRY HALFORD, Bart. Physician to his MAJESTY. Her Ladyship was third daughter of JOHN Lord ST. JOHN, and was united to Sir HENRY in 1795. Her Ladyship has left a daughter married to a brother of the Earl of COVENTRY, and also a son ( HENRY) united to a daughterof Baron VAUGHAN. In 1815 an Act passed for conferring to Sir HENRY VAUGHAN and his issue male the surname and arms of HALFORD, agreeably to the will of the late Sir CHARLES IIALFORD, Bart, who died without issue several years ago, when the title became extinct. The dinner to Sir RICHARD VYVYAN in Bristol is intended to take place on Wednesday ( beinr the Anniversary of the King's Accession), on the lawn in the rear of the mansion in Park Row, formerly occu- pied by Colonel BAILLIE, that situation being better adapted to the purpose than the Horticultural Saloon. The erection of a room of adequate dimensions has already been commenced. TITHES.— Government orders have been received by the military and police authorities in this county intimatincr that neither force shall in future be employed in the enforcement of tithes, or the ser- vice of legal processes for their recovery.— Cork Reporter. NEW CATHOLIC CHURCH.— The foundation of a new and very large Catholic church was last week laid at the populous town of Preston, in Lancashire. The building is to have a very handsome steeple and an octave of bells.— Evening Paper. Some of our Irish friends will oblige us by saying whether the following paragraph extracted verbatim et literatim from the Dub- lin Freeman's Journal, relates to the Most Rev. Dr. LAWRENCE, orto the Popish usurper of his Grace's see— if to the latter, which we suspect, the publication is, besides being illegal, a daring effort of impudence:— " REV. MR. QUINLAN.— His Giace the Archbishop of Cashel has been pleased to appoint the Rev. Mr. QUINLAN, rector of the united parishes of Golden and Kilfeacle, vacant by the death of the Rev. Mr. Hmars.— Tipperary Free Press. Standard, Thursday. MR. SIMPSON has been elected one of the Committee of LLOYD'S, in the room of Mr. CARRUTHERS resigned. The following resolution lias been passed by the News- room Com- mittee of the Birmingham Political Union :—" That on account of the want of principle and veracity exhibited by the Times newspa- per, the same be no longer taken in at the Union News room." At a Special Meeting of the Committee of the Boston Athenaeum, holden on Tuesday last, the Times newspaper ( in consequenee of the revolutionary doctrines which it has of late advocated) was unani- mously voted out of the Society.— Lincolnshire Chronicle. At a very early hour on Tuesday there was a great influx of people at Chatham; and as the morning advanced steam- packets crowded in every part; gentlemen's yachts, filled with elegant parties of both sexes, were seen coming up the Medway, from London, South- end, and other places. Tlie men- of- war lying in the Medway, and all the yachts, were decorated with a profusion of flags; an immense number of boats had collected ; the shore, as well as the dock- yard itself, was thronged with spectators ; and as the hour appointed for the launch of the IVaterloo to take place ( one o'clock) approached, the scene was one of au animated and interesting kind. The fVaterloo was built on Sir ROBERT SEPPING'S plan of the round stern, and is pierced for 120 guns, the largest number carried by our first- rate men- of- war. Her dimensions are as follow : Feet. 205 Length on the gun- deck Length of keel for tonnage Extreme breadth Depth of hold Height of figure Height in midships Height of taffrail Burden in tons ..

At two minutes past one o'clock, the props which supported the vessel, commonly called the dog shores, were knocked away, and the ceremony of " christening" having been performed by ADAM GORDON, Esq., a Magistrate of Deptford, in the absence of Miss BERESFORD. daughter of the Admiral of that name, who arrived too late, this magnificent structure was consigned to her proper element amidst the deafening cheers from the multitude assembled within the yard, echoed most heartily by those on the water.. She glided slowly, but majestically, from her building place, and it'is gratifying to state that no accident of any consequence occurred. She was swung round, and in a few minutes safely moored alongside the Southampton frigate lying in ordinary. Lord BROUGHAM has, since his strange elevation to the Woolsack, appointed no less than five thousand three hundred and seventy- one new Magistrates— Clerical 1354, Lay 4017— This appears incredible, but so we are assured it is ; and these in addition to those peremp- torily recommended to the Lords Lieutenant by the Home Secre- tary— which recommendations, however, we must say, are not always attended to. The Americans, it seems, have found out one of our patriots— a Commission of Lunacy has issued against the popular leader of a once popular party— Mr. Ex- Sheriff PARKINS. The accounts from the East contained in the French papers, re- present the Russian influence at Constantinople to be resuming its former ascendancy, and that Count Orloff has obtained the mastery over the combined efforts of Lord PONSONBY and Admiral ROUSSIN It is even stated, in an article copied from the Augsburgh Gazette, that a French sloop had been fired at when attempting to enter the Dardanelles. The Sultan, it is said, is organizing his army, which is to be composed of 80,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, with four regiments of artillery, to be trained in the European manner; and Admiral ROUSSIN is stated to have offered to supply officers of every description to form a military school at Constantinople for the in- struction of the Ottoman troops. Sir STRATFORD CANNING has returned from Madrid— re infectk— that is to say, if it was ever intended that he should do anything except receive a certain sum of money. It appears by the expenditure of last year for civil contingencies that the Earl of DURHAM received the sum of 5.0001. for his special mission to St. Petersburg!], with the further sum of 1831. for his ex- penses on board his Majesty's ship Talavera, from England to Cron- stadt. The whole sum expended in the last year for special missions amounted to 15,8001. Lord WILLIAM RUSSELL was paid 1,0001. for his mission to Portugal, Sir STRATFORD CANNING 4.5001., and Sir ROBERT ADAJR the sum of 5,0001., exclusive of the expenses of their several journeys, amounting altogether to 2861. The sums required at the moment by the present economical and retrenching Government are as follow :— West India Contingent ^ 20,000,000 Bank nearly 4.000,000 East India Company about 10.000,000 Making altogether. . ^ 34,000,000 — They are nice fellows, and not more nice than wise. The project for a rail- way from Manchester to Sheffield is aban- doned. The rail- road from London to Birmingham, and that from London to Greenwich, are begun. On the line of the former the dis- tances are thus timed from St. John's Wood- road, where it begins:— Tring 1J hour. Leighton Buzzard 2 hours. Blisworth 3 hours, Coventry 4| hours. Birmingham Si hours. By mistake it was stated in our last number that the marriage be- tween Lord ALBERT CONYNGHAM and the Hon. Miss FORRESTER had taken place. The ceremony is deferred until the latter end of next month. The Cambridge Chronicle says:— " In the midst of much which is disheartening, it is satisfactory to see that the voice of humanity is likely to prevail with respect to the employment of children in the manufactories. It is understood that the Government, upon the report of the Commissioners, will recommend that infants under fourteen years of age shall not be employed more than eight hours in the day. This is a remission greater than even Lord ASHLEY'S Bill contemplated; and will be received with pleasure. We wish we could have had a chance of June § 8. JOHN BULL: 190 seeing the whole evidence which has had such weight in determining the opinion ofthe Commissioners. Their decision upon thi9 point will certainly go far to remove the suspicion with which their previous conduct had caused them to be viewed." — From this latter part of the Cambridge Chronicle's observations we must beg to dissent. Their decision has been produced by the reception which they have met with— not made of themselves, but trimmed down by the terrified Ministers, in order to stop popular clamour-, and rob Lord ASHLEY of the merit of his humane efforts. The Devonport Telegraph says, " An affair of a delicate nature is very currently reported, in which a Magistrate in the Southern Division of this county, and the wife of a Rev. Gentleman, are the principal actors. It is said the discovery will supply briefs for some Gents, of the Long Robe on the Western Circuit." At present the public impulse seems entirely turned to emigration. Two splendid vessels have just left Leith harbour for Van Dieman's Land, and a vessel is about to sail with passengers for New York. From Greenock vessels sail for some one of the ports of America every week, and there is scarcely a sea- port of any consequence throughout the kingdom where emigrants are not constantly embark- ing.— We very much regret to say that this spirit is not confined to the needy or laborious classes; a great number of the most noble families are either gone or going from this kingdom, brought as it is • by the misdeeds of a weak and wicked Government to a state of excitement wholly uncongenial to the tastes and feelings of a large proportion of its best inhabitants. The Norwich Guild dinner on Tuesday last, SAMUEL BIGNOLD, Esq., Mayor, was attended by upwards of twelve hundred persons, amongst whom were the Lord- Lieutenant of the county, the High Sheriff' of Suffolk, Lord STORMONT, and Sir JAMES SCARLETT, se- veral of the Dignitaries of the Church, and members of the principal families of Norfolk and Suffolk. CAUTION.— Overseers are bound to prepare fresh registers of voters every year, notice of which is to be given on the 20th of June in each year, under a penalty of 5001. Within the next six weeks the registering under the Reform Act must take place. It may be as well that persons who have changed their residence should know, that such a circumstance requires that they should register their votes. It is highly important that these registrations should be attended to. At the time that Mr. HOPE was beaten in Marylebone not one- tenth of the houses in the principal streets in that district were registered as qualifications. The following accounts of the Moors may be acceptable to our sporting readers We have very favourable accounts from various parts of the coun- try of the appearance of game in the moors this season. The early part of the spring was so very cold as to throw the breeding about three weeks later than last year; but the weather has since been so dry and warm that there can hardly be a rotten or unhatched egg, and accordingly the coveys of young grouse that have yet been seen are very full. There is now more to fear from severe drought than anything else, and therefore a few summer showers would be highly acceptable, until the cheepers acquire strength of wing to carry them from the dry patches of their nativity to cool their " crappins" at the neighbouring lochs and streams.— Edinburgh Evening Post. The season has been so favourable for hatching, for some time back, that the coveys of young grouse that have been seen are very full, and it is not doubted that the quantity will be great.— Ayr Advertiser. In the highest districts of the Highlands the long continuance of the snow interfered with the breeding of the birds, and coveys are consequently scarce. In the lower grounds they are more plentiful. Perthshire Advertiser. Newfoundland Papers have been received at Lloyd's, which convey some further intelligence respecting the loss ofthe Lady of the Lake, from Belfast to Quebec. It appears that within twenty minutes of her striking the ice she turned over and sunk, and that of the 18 men who escaped to the wreck of the Harvest Home in the long- boat, and were left on the wreck by the captain, 13 were picked up by the Messenger, of Torquay, the other five being drowned in attempting to swim after the captain. The number of souls on board the Lady ofthe Lake was 231, of whom 197 perished, twelve being saved in the long- boat, eight in the stern boat, thirteen in the boat of the Harvest Home, picked up by the Messenger, and one picked up by the Lima. MR. BEAMISH? TO JOHN BULL. SIR— Private circumstances have prevented my humbly effering a few words of comment on the explanation of Mr. THOMSON when Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE did me the honour to present my petition to the House of Commons. These comments, I am happy to say, may he compressed into a very brief space, for Mr THOMSON more than once acknowledged that my conduct had been irreproachable; his words, as I find them reported, were:—" Far be it from my intention to impeach the integrity or zeal of Mr. BEAMISH— 1 believe his character to be unimpeachable." This, Sir, limits the enquiry, the more particularly as, of five or six other Members ( of different parties) who spoke on the occasion, there was not one who did not express himself in my favour; and indeed, the explanation given by Mr. THOMSON was so little satisfactory, that I am informed there is no doubt a Committee of Enquiry will be appointed, This is all I hope for, or at present desire, but I feel it ne cessary to clear the ground for that enquiry, and therefore offer these few words of comment. After the above testimony to my character, Mr. THOMSON added, what is to be considered, I suppose, the real ground of my removal—" From his infirmity of temper and body, he considered that I should not be able to perform the duties of a clerk of the second class." The charge of infirmity of temper admits of no reply— it is the shadow of a shade— there is no grappling with it ; but I cannot understand why temper ihould be either better or worse on promotion, or why it should qualify or disqualify for one office more than another. But tlie question, " infirmity of temper," may be illustrated by " infirmity of body." It is true that I am infirm of body, but I was born so— I was so when appointed in November, 1805, to the office ; and, as proof, I enclose you copies of medical certi- ficates from Mr. MERRIMAN, of Kensington- square ; Mr. HICKS, of Henrietta- street, Cavendish- square ; Mr. MILLINGTO. V, of Great Tichfield- street, St. Marylebone; and Mr. MENZIES, of Ladbroke- terrace, Notting- hill; all testifying that I am not in the slightest perceptible degree more lame than I was twenty, thirty, and thirty- five years ago. But it may be said, that I was qualified for the third class, not for the second; this might be a reason for not promoting me, but I cannot understand how it justified my superannuation— but what are the duties of the second clerk at a port ? I will tell you ; they are notoriously considerably less than than the duties of the third clerk ; and it will, I think, perplex those who understand the rela- tive duties— and who, if the Committee be appointed, will be called on their oaths to speak upon this subject— to explain, how a man qualified for the one is not qualified for the other. But even admitting the force of this difference, it is nothing to the purpose. My successor has been put into the second class, and does the same duty that I had previously done, and the only difference at Devonport is the change of persons and the loss to the country by my forced super- annuation. And now, with a few words upon less important matters incidentally touched on, I shall conclude. Mr. THOMSON, I regret to find, ventured to say that some " allegations in the petition were utterly unfounded," as for instance, that, respecting the extra clerk who had been appointed ; he stated that he had only 901. per year, and had served two years as an under clerk previously to his appointment. Now had Mr. THOMSON confined himself to the first vague clause in this sentence, that " some allegations were utterly unfounded," it might have been classed with the " infirmity of temper," as a something too unsubstantial to be laid hold of; but the " infirmity of body" fortunately followed the one and the specific proof of the other. Here, first, let me quote the words of the petition:— " Whereas your petitioner knows, and is prepared to prove, that a week or ten days preceding the date of that letter ( informing him of his office being abolished), one of his juniors, of only seven years' standing in the office, had been actually ordered to Plymouth, was raised to the second class, and his salary more than doubled in consequence, to perform the very duties heretofore discharged by your pe- titioner. And your petitioner must further submit, that his removal cannot be consequent on any general reduction in his office, three new appointments having been made by Mr. THOMSON" on the 1st July, 1S32, being the day after your petitioner was forcibly turned out of his situation. The names of the gentlemen are— H. A. REID, another son of the Chief Clerk at Devonport; GEORGE J. POUND ; and WM. STUNDON. See Returns to the House of Commons.— " Such indeed has been the result of these extraordinary changes and removals, that one young gentleman, not more than seventeen years of age, as your petitioner believes, is already, after three months, senior clerk of the third class, the highest rank which your petitioner had obtained after twenty- seven years, and from which he is so unexpectedly, so unjustly, and so cruelly removed." Now one of these allegations is, it appears, " utterly un- founded." What! only one ? you may ask, for there are many, and some startling enough, in this little pithy sentence. Well, let us consider that one. Mr. THOMSON says it is utterly unfounded, because B. had been two years in the office. Why, Sir, he might have added that C. had been four, D. six, E. ten ; but I cannot understand how that proves the falsehood of an allegation which applies to A. I much dislike bringing gentlemen by name before the public; but I will not permit even the most unimportant assertion in that petition to be disputed, for upon its accuracy my character must rest; and, therefore, I now state that Mr. EYRE is the young gentleman referred to; the returns to Parliament prove that he was seventeen, that he was ap- pointed to the office 1st May, 1832, and on the 1st July, or thereabouts, such being the result of the extraordinary changes," he was senior clerk of the third class, the highest rank I had attained after twenty- seven years' service, and the highest rank that any clerk could heretofore hope to attain after an average of a quarter of a century; and upon the very next vacancy this same very young gentleman, unless under a change of Administration some " infirmity of temper" may become manifest, is entitled to be placed in the second class at 3001. per annum, rising by fixed annual increase to 5001. I trust, therefore, that in the instances ad- duced I have proved the truth of the allegations— Farther, therefore, for the present I need not trouble you, but shall wait the appointment of the Committee. I am, Sir, your very humble servant, CHARLES BEAMISH. February 18 th, 1833. I have been intimately acquainted with Mr. CHARLES BEAMISH during a period of more than twenty years, in every part ot which time he was equally lame as he now is. I have never observed the least difference. T. MILLINGTON, Surgeon, & c. Great Titchfield- street, Murylebone. Ladbroke• terrace, Notting Hill. } 6th February, 1833.

THE ARCHDEACON'S VISITATION.— On Thursday last, the Venerable the Archdeacon LYALL held a visitation of the Clergj of the Diocese, at St. Peter's Church, in Colchester. The attendance was more than usually numerous and respectable. The Rev. S. CARR having per- formed the morning service, the Rev. R. DUFFIELD, Rector of Frating, preached a very impressive, and, considering the mo- mentous state of the times at which, unhappily for the country, we have arrived, a singularly appropriate sermon, from Psalm 31, v. 15 to 18. In the course of an eloquent address, the Rev. Gentleman adverted to the peculiar manner in which this country had been favoured by the light of revealed religion— to the wanton attacks recently made upon it by political empirics— who, under the catch- words of the " hypocrisy of priestcraft," " trammels of super- stition," & c. & c. sought to degrade our sacred religion in the eyes of the people— not by bringing forward the doctrines ol the Scriptures, but rather by thrusting forward their sacred mysteries. The Rev. Gentleman concluded a long and most eloquent Charge by urgently exhorting the. Clergy to a zealous performance of their sacred duties, and an appeal to all who styled themselves friends of the Church to co- operate with them in repelling the attacks of her, unhappily at the present moment, numerous and active enemies. A somewhat novel occurrence was witnessed by the congregation assembled at church in the town of Chard, on Sunday week. Imme- diately after the publishing the banns of marriage lor the last time, between the farrier of the troop of Royal Diagoons and the cook- maid of the George Inn, in consequence of the troop being ordered to march for head quarters the following morning, the clergyman was called on to unite them in the bonds of wedlock, and the rite was performed in presence of the whole assembly. The Bishop of ELY'S confirmation in Cambridge was fully at- tended, nearly fourteen hundred persons being confirmed. The Bishop of BANGOR officiated. On Tuesday, the Bishop of ELY intends holding a confirmation at Whittlesey, and also to consecrate a large piece of ground, which has been added to St. Mary's church- yard. Ranters.— The peaceful town of Andover has, on two successive Sundays, been made the scene of most disgraceful riots and conflicts between the lower class of towns- people and the followers of the above sect, who assembled from the neighbouring villages for the purpose of hearing their peculiar tenets preached and acted in the streets. This inroad the former determined to oppose, andjas remon- strance was in vain, adopted a summary mode of ejectment, first by pelting the Ranters with rotten eggs and other less harmless missiles, and at length after considerable resistance, hunted them out of the town, but not without the loss of gowns, coats, and sundry other habiliments belonging to the vanquished party. VISITATION AT DONCASTER.— The visitation of the Venerable the Archdeacon of York was held in the parish church of this town on Monday last. The attendance of the Clergy on this occasion was very numerous. The sermon was preached by the Rev. R. SUTTOH, A. M. official of the Archdeaconry of York, and Rector of St. Michael's, Spurriergate, in the City of York, from Matthew, v. 16. It was a masterly delineation of the duties of a Christianjtninister, and made a powerful impression upon the congregation. CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY.— The annual sermons for the benefit of this society, were preached on Sunday last, at St. James's church near Nottingham, by the Rev. T. WOODROOFFE, M. A. Rector of Calhourne, Isle of Wight, and late secretary to the society, when the sum of 401. was collected. On Friday se'nnight, a massive and complete tea equipage of silver, with elegant papier vtachee tray, and a handsome suit of canonicals, purchased by subscription from a number of his parishioners, were presented at the National School- room, to the Rev. A. CHEAP, Vicar of Knaresborough, by the Rev. THOMAS COLLINS, A. M., in the pre- sence of of a numerous assemblage. The plate bears the following inscription :—" Presented to the Rev. A. CHEAP, L. L. B... Vicar of Knaresborough, by his Parishioners, as a token of their affectionate regard and esteem, for his unwearied exertious in the Ministry and active benevolence amongst the Poor, during the period of 29 years." The Rev. Mr. COLLINS expressed himself honoured in having been (• elected by his townsmen to offer this token of regard to their worthy Vicar, particularly in these times of rebuke, when so many were desirous of bringing obloquy upon the church of which Mr. CHEAP was so consistent a member. The Rev. MICHAEL HOBART SEYMOUR, of Ballinrobe, has accepted a challenge from the Right Rev. Dr. MACHALE, to discuss tbe con- troverted subject of Purgatory, for not admitting the existence of which the Bishop declared Protestants to be infidels at the funeral of the Rev. Mr. JENNINGS, in the Chapel of Ballinrobe, last week.— Dublin fVarder. ELECTION OF CHURCHWARDENS.— A decision ofthe utmost import- ance to parishioners was given by the Archdeacon of Gloucester, at his visitation to Bristol, for the purpose of swearing in Church- wardens. The facts of the case were these:— The Select Vestry of the parish of St. Philip and Jacob, in the city of Bristol, hud met without notice on Easter Monday, and chosen Churchwar- dens for the year ensuing. The parishioners entered a caveat against their being sworn into office, upon the grounds that, by The ecclesiastical law, the right of election was vested in the minmter and inhabitants, and not in the churchwardens and vestry ; and, secondly, that the vestry meeting was illegal, having been held with- out a public notice of three davs and a publication m the church, which are essential to the legality oiall vestry meetings, by tbe of Geo. III. cap 69. The vestry defended thetr election a « bavwjB been made according to an ancient custom of two hundred years standing. The Court decided that the election was lad for- bvth the reasons assigned, and the new churchwardens were not sworn in. Jt might be well to remark, that for a custom to be good it must existed from the first year of the reign or Richard I,, that is, ilea. 200 JOHN BULL: June 23." STOCK EXCHANGE— SATURDAY EVENING.

Consols for Account 901 I The Frankfort papers of the 11th, and the Augsiurgh Gazette of the 15th instant, have been received, but they are wholly barren of political news. An article dated St. Petersburgh, June 8, contains accounts of the visit of the Emperor Nicholas to Dunaberg, and is full of triumphant references to the growing power and prosperity of the Russian empire. The improvements of St. Petersburgh are going forward on a most gigantic scale. The immense column to the memory of the Emperor Alexander will soon be uncovered. The new Senate- house, the Triumphal Arch, Isaac's Church, the German Theatre, are all in great forwardness, and St. Petersburgh will be soon a city of palaces. A century and half ago the ground on which it stands was sterile and uninhabited! An article from Zurich, dated June 9th. inserted in the Jugslurg/ i Gazette, states that Professor Rossi, of Geneva, had gone to Paris, to negotiate with the French Government for the re- admission of the fugitive Poles into France. The Courier of last night says:— The most staunch friends and zealous supporters of the present Administration, have this morning been doomed to experience the strongest feelings of disappointment in consequence of the withdrawal, by the Ministers, of the most im- portant clause in the Irish Bill, last night. The effect has been de- trimental to the Money Market, as it is generally considered a proof of weakness on their part. MEETING OF COUNTRY BANKERS.— Friday a meeting of the repre- sentatives of the country banking establishments was held at Radley's Hotel, Blackfriars, to adopt measures to oppose the Government plan for the renewal of the charter of the Bank of England, as far as it will interfere with the circulation of the country banks. \ V. H. Hobhouse, Esq. was called to the chair. Mr. Spooner, Mr. Parker, Mr. Rickford, M. P., Mr. Watson, of Hull, Mr. Lang- horne, Mr. Vesey, Mr. Alexander, of Suffolk, Mr. Lloyd of Birming- ham, Mr. Smith, and Mr. W. Crewston, addressed the meeting ; and resolutions deprecating the plan for making the Bank of England the sole bank of issue, as tending to confine the country circulation, were agreed to. The arguments brought forward were founded on the points instanced in the memorial to Earl Grey and Lord Althorp, lately published. REVIEW.— Friday a grand review of the Royal Artillery took place on Woolwich- common, at which his Majesty accompanied by the Queen, the Duchess of Kent, and thePrincess Victoria, were present. Al ter the review, a superb service of plate was presented in the mess- room, by his Majesty, to the officers of the Royal Artillery. The mistake about Job Cox into which the Morning Papers fell, stating that he had been left by the King in Council for execution, originated with the Recorder, who actually sent the usual warrant to Newgate for the unhappy man's execution. He, as well as all the others convicted, was made an object of the Royal clemency in the first instance. We believe the matter will be publicly investigated by the Common Council. A vessel has arrived at Ramsgate from Boulogne with French troops on board bound to Oporto, and a report prevails that some serious disturbance has occurred on board that vessel between the English sailors and the Frenchmen, which has prevented the ship from proceeding to its destination. Prince George of Cambridge, accompanied by the Earl of Denbigh, Professor Babbage, Colonel Fielding, the Rev. Mr. Wood, and seve- ral other persons of distinction, on Friday, inspected the printing establishment of Mr. Clowes, in Duke- street, Stamford- street, where they witaessed the immense power of machinery as adapted to the purposes of printing. There were nineteen mighty engines in full work, and printing, on an average. 33,250 impressions per hour, driven by the power of two steam- engines, one of five, and the other of three horse power. The Penny and Saturday Magazines, both of which were in the course of being printed, excited their wonder, and impressions of each were anxiously sought and retained by the dis- tinguished members of the party. COURT OF KING'S BENCH— YESTERDAY. The King v. Dyer and others.— This was an indictment against Mary Ann Dyer, Eliz. Dyer, and Henry Masters, for a con- spiracy to affiliate upon Mr. Montague, of Clapton, a child born from the first- named defendant. The case occupied the whole of Friday, and yesterday morning a witness ( Helen Maria Deane) was examined at some length, and spoke to an agreement between lier, Mary Ann Dyer, and another defendant, Henry Masters ( supposed to be the father of the child), to swear the child to Mr. Montague. On her cross- examinations she admitted that at the Sessions, although sworn to tell the whole truth, she had reserved much of what she had stated to- day, and also admitted havingspoken falsely as to part of her evidence on a previous occasion, when not on oath. The Lord Chief Justice said that there was no evidence of conspi- racy as affecting the mother; and as to the evidence of the last wit- ness, although it proved that it was arranged between Mary Ann Dver. the witness, and Masters, that the child was to be sworn to Mr. Montague, yet it was not impossible that Masters might have believed Mr. Montague to be the father; at least there was nothing directly to show that he did not. Therefore the evidence did not show ( as was necessary) a conspiracy between any two of the persons indicted. Sir J. Scarlett assented to this, and added, that when he heard the witness Deane's evidence he did not expect that the Jury would require witnesses for the defence. The defendants were, therefore, pronounced Not Guilty. BYRON'S LIFE AND WORKS. MR.

" A work, which though professing at its outset to be little more than a trans- lation of Cuvier's ' Regne Animal, 1 has added materially to the information con- tained in that valuable authority; and has also illustrated the species by many spirited representations, which need no other recommendation than that they are the joint production of Major C. Hamilton Smith, F. S. L. and the Landseers. The account of the Antelopes is distinguished by much original information."— Address to the Linneean Society, by J. E. Bicheno, Esq. Secretary. The CLASSES MAMMALIA, AVES, REPTILIA and INSECTA, are complete; and the Work is so arranged for the convenience of those who may confine their Zoological studies to either of the Classes, that each Class will make distinct work, as well as one of the Series of the " Animal Kingdom."

The 11th and 12th Numbers, completing Volume I. will appear on the 1st of July and the lst of August. Each Volume of Thirty- six large and splendid Line Engravings, is complete in itself if so desired, and will be found of un- exampled attraction for Presents. & c. in all Families where Literature and the Arts are cultivated. Two more Volumes will complete the undertaking, it being ascertaiued that such moderate extent will form a really comprehensive school of Art, comprising, in ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT ENGRAVINGS, from one to four Specimens of each of the old Masters of foremost rank, and a still greater proportion in favour of the classes most generally admired. This important object can alone be effected by the plan ( peculiar to this work) of selecting from a variety of sources, public and private. The best works of the best Masters lie scattered in various Galleries, few of which ( even the National, with its one hundred and seven subjects, scarcely excepted) present above forty names, whatever be the number of Pictures ! The object of this work is a concentration of talent, and the names will exceed sixty. The comparatively easy task of publishing a certain number of Plates from any single Collection would not merely exclude many brilliant names from or- namenting this select work, but it would seem to compel the purchase of a large proportion of subjects either of slight interest, or total unfitness for minute and social examination. No. I. of the Second Volume will appear on the lst of September, super royal 8vo. 2s. 6d.; or India Proofs, large paper, 5s. each. This very inadequate price will be adhered to during the publication of each Volume, and for two months after, when it will be advanced 6d. per Number, and 2s. 6d. the large paper, being still the cheapest work of the kind ever published. The Publisher cannot be answerable for any Numbers wanted for completion unless applied for im- mediately. John Major, 50, Fleet- street.

Warehouse, 107, Strand, corner of the Savoy- steps, London. JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous endeavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their make, feel it incumbent upon them to request the attention of the Public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the Original, to observe the Name and Address correspond with the above. The general appearance of the spurious- descriptions will deceive the unguarded, and for their detection, J. B. and Soa submit the following Cautions : some are in appearance at first sight " The Ge- nuine," but without any name or address— some " Burgess's Essence of An- chovies"— others " Burgess," and many more without address. JOHN BURGESS and SON having been many years honoured with such distinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respe- et toward the Public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments. BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by tbem, and is recommended as a most useful and convenient Sauce— will keep good in all climates.
