ANDERSON'S MORNING CONCERT, which has always been one of the most brilliant and fashionable of the season, is likely to prove unusually attractive on Monday, the 12th inst. Their Royal High- jiesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, with a nume- rous party of distinguished personages, will occupy the Royal Box, and those immediately adjoining. Mdlle. Giulietta Grisi, Madame Stockhausen, Mrs. H. Bishop, Miss C. Novello, Miss Masson, Sig. Rubini, Mr. Sale, Mr. Hobbs, Mr. Bennett, and Mr. H. Phillips, are the Vocal Performers announced. Mrs. Anderson performs on the Piano- forte ( first time), Beethoven's celebrated Concerto in E flat; and a grand Fantasie Brillante on a National Air by Czerny. Mori plays a Solo on the Violin: Nicholson, a Fantasie on the Flute ; and Madame Stockhausen will charm the audience with her delicious Swiss Airs. DRURY- LANE.— A new After- piece, in two acts, entitled Secret Service, translated from the French, was produced on Tuesday even- ing. The scene is laid in Paris, during the Consulship of Napoleon, and the chief incidents arise out of the proceedings in the bureau of the celebrated Fouche, Minister of Police. The performance of Farren, who sustained the part of Perrin, was one of the finest pieces of acting witnessed for some time. The piece will probably have a considerable run. SADLER'S WELLS.— Two new pieces were produced here on Mon- day last— the Gipsy of Epping Forest and the Roman Nose. The latter is a clever farce from the pen of Mr. Almar: it was supported by some v ry respectable acting, and received with much applause. Richard Creur de Lion will be produced to- morrow evening. Mr. Ducrow is preparing Turpin's celebrated ride to York for immediate representation at Astley's. To the British merchant, manufacturer, and ship owner, the facts contained in Mr. Inglis's book on Jersey, and the other Channel Islands are highly important. The disclosures made will be new to most persons; and the field laid open by the information contained in this book, for mercantile speculation in this country, by taking advantage of the facilities offered by Jersey privileges, appears to be one, equally promising as unthought of. COLOSSEUM.— A most splendid and beautiful exhibition is just Opened at this favourite place of resort. It consists of a panoramic painting, representing a series of sublime scenes in the interior of Africa; the entrance to which is through an artificial glen, in which the spectator is surrounded by animals and birds peculiar to the - country, which are so placed amidst wild and rocky scenery as to produce the effect of life. On one side is represented a Scene in the Desert, with the commencement of a Storm— whirlwinds and clouds of sand rising in the distance. Among the various interesting objects introduced are— A wounded Elephant attacking its pursuers; a l'ree in the Boochuana country, in which are erected 17 Huts, occupied by as many Native Families; Missionary Stations ; the Massacre of an English Party by the Natives; Caller Chiefs deliberating_ on war; a Pass through the Mountains. Taken as a whole, this is a most magnificent exhibition, and, independent of the other interesting objects at the Colosseum, will well repay the visitor's inspection. FREE HOSPITAL, GREVILLE- STREET, " HATTON- GARDEN.— This ex- cellent Charity, which administers relief to all diseased poor, with- out other iecommendations than their misery and destitution, and which, since its foundation in 1828, has administered its benevolent assistance to upwards ef seventeen thousand distressed objects, held its Sixth Anniversary Dinner, on Wednesday last, at the Freema- sons' Tavern. Lord Morpeth, who presided, most eloquently expa- tiated on the usefulness of the Charity, and most earnestly recom- mended it to universal support. His Lordship was ably followed in this recommendation by the Treasurer, Pascoe Greenfe'll, Esq.; G. Thomas, Esq. and other gentlemen, and a very liberal collection was the result. His Royal Highness, the Duke of Gloucester, the President, transmitted 10J. 10s., and, amongst other donations were the following:— The Chairman ( LordMorpeth), 101.10s.; Mr. She- riff Wilson, 101. 10s.; Mr. Sheriff Harmer ( 3d donation), 101. 10s.; Robert Bell, Esq. ( 2d donation), 101. 10s.; Mr. Marsden, the Sur- geon to the Institution, 101. 10s; Pascoe Greenfell, Esq., and his friends ( 3d donation), 251; 1001. left anonymously by a benevolent gentleman, since ascertained to be J. Fitford, Esq.; and twenty guineas by Mr. Charles Pearson, the damages he consented to re- ceive for the serious injury he sustained by the overturning of the Brighton coach. The announcement of the two latter donations was received with great applause. We regret to find that the funds of this Charity are in a precarious state ill consequence of the Hos- pital throwing' open its doors to receive cholera patients at the time that that alarming disease raged in the metropolis, and when there was no other place open for the reception of the poor who were at- tacked with that dreadful malady; but we hope the benevolent pub- lic will not allow so excellent a Charity, from want of support, to be under the necessity of contracting its present unlimited sphere of usefulness. One of the grestest villanies practised at the present day by Shop- keepers, not only in London, but in every City and Town in the United Kingdom, is that of forging the property of another, and imposing on the public the forged article with all the assurance of innocence. We allude, in the present instance, to ROWLAND'S MA- CASSAR OIL. Very many years ago, Mr. Rowland discovered this • useful & nd elegant, article, which, from its real merits alone, gained an immense popularity; this no soonerbecame the case than it was, and is now, imitated by Biany Shopkeepers. We should have imagined • that an English Shopkeeper, who boasts of confidence and integrity unknown m any other part of the world, would not have stooped to the meanness of so base and paltry an - r « etion. Nevertheless, we fcnow for certain that snch is the case, and we advise all Patrons of Rowland's celebrated articles to purchase only of respectable venders. SUPPOSED MURDER AND SUICIDE.— Wednesday Mr. Robert Brett, of Green- street, and his son, a child three years of age, were dis- covered hanging together in an out- house, both quite dead. It is supposed the father, who has for some time past laboured under an unusual degree of melancholy, first hung the child, and then suspen- ded himself by its side.— Canterbury Paper. On Sunday'morning as the servant of a gentleman was riding his master's horse in the neighbourhood of Droitwich, the animal Became restive, and galloping off, knocked down a man who was crossmg the road. The poor fellow was picked up, and placed on a seat opposite the door of the Red Lion public house. He was left there unnoticed until next morning, when he was found dead !— Worcester Journal. Thursday there was a general strike of the journeymen boot and ana shoe makers of the metropolis for a rise of wages. A good shoeraaker and expert workmen can earn seven shillings a day. but Others who are slow or indifferent workmen earn less. PARLIAMENTARY ANALYSIS. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY.— The Catholic Marriages Bill and several Private Bills were brought up from the Commons and read a first time. The Duke of NEWCASTLE called the attention of the Noble Viscount ( Melbourne) to the disgraceful proceedings of certain bodies of persons calling themselves Trades' Unions, who were in the habit of congre- gating upon the Sabbath in the metropolis, ill great numbers, under various pretences, to the great alarm of the respectable and peaceful inhabitants. He hoped the Noble Viscount would feel the propriety of taking some step in the matter.— Lord MELBOURNE knew of no means to prevent such assemblages, but hoped they would be abandoned by the people themselves.— The Marquess of LONDON- DERRY did not think tlie Unions likely to die a natural deaththey were still increasing in numbers.— The Earl of ELDON thought it was the bounden duty of Government to discountenance such assemblages. He agreed that if the subjects of this country met for the purpose of discussing their grievances they had a perfect right so to meet. Butif at such meetings such things took place as they had been told had taken place of late, such as agreeing, one and all, not to pay the assessed taxes, that would be an act tantamount to superseding the Government of the country.— The LORD CHANCELLOR entirely agreed with his Noble and Learned Friend. His opinion was, that it was not lawful for men to assemble in vast bodies disproportionate to the nature of the occasion which had brought them together. After a good deal of strong animadversion on the part of his Lordship against those designing persons by whom the industrious people were misled, the conversation dropped. The Earl of DURHAM then moved the second reading of the War- wick Disfranchisement Bill.— Lord WYNFORD moved that the peti- tioners against the measure should be heard by counsel and evidence on the 2d of May, which motion, after some discussion, was adopted. A number ofBills were then advanced o. stage, and the House adjourned. TUESDAY.— The Earl of MALMESBURY presented a petition from Oxfordshire, complaining of the importation of grain and live stock from Ireland, to an extent almost incredible, and to the burthen of the poor rates, increased by the number of Irish paupers that were allowed to come over. It was singular that the people of Ireland should complain of their connection with England, when England was making so many sacrifices to Ireland. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY stated that it was his intention to take an early opportunity of putting some questions to the Noble Earl ( Grey) upon the subject of the relations of this country with Portugal and Spain. It was also his wish particularly to call the attention of the Noble Earl to the situation of Sir John Campbell, who had been now for three or four months incarcerated in prison at Lisbon. He would venture to say tha t there never was a more unjust proceeding, amore flagrant violation of the law of nations, than the conduct pursued towards that officer.— Earl GREY said any day would be convenient for him.— Mie Marquess of LONDONDERRY " then named Tuesday next. The Old Bailey Jurisdiction Bill was recommitted, on the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, when certain amendments were agreed to, and the report was ordered to be received to- morrow.— Adjourned. WEDNESDAY.— A deputation from the Commons having ' requested a conference, the same took place, when the resolutions on the question of the Union with Ireland, which had passed on the prece- ding night in the House Commons, was communicated to their Lordships. Earl GREY then moved the concurrence of their Lordships in the address voted by the Commons respecting the repeal of the Union. His Lordship prefaced his motion by a speech, in which he strongly insisted on the importance of a Legislative Union to the interests of both countries, and inculcated the propriety of their Lordships coming to a unanimous vote, expressive of their concurrence in the address of the House of Commons.— After a few words from the Duke of WELLINGTON, and the Marquesses of LONDONDERRY and WESTMEATH, in approbation of the sentiments of the address, the motion was tarried. THURSDAY.— The Archbishop of CANTERBURY, in presenting a petition for the better observance of the Sabba th, expressed a hope, that notwithstanding the decision of the other House on the subject, some measure would be brought forward before the Session closed.— Lord WYNFORD said he Wtmld revive the Bill he had proposed at the commencement of the Session after he had consulted with the Right Rev. Bench on the subj^ ct^ The Marquess of SALISBURY complained of the practice of paying for returns relative to turnpike trusts out of the county rates.— Lord MELBOURNE admitted that the subject required consideration. The Earl of WINCHILSEA presented a petition signed by 100 Under- Graduates of Oxford and Cambridge, residing in the county of Kent, against allowing Dissenters to take degrees. The LORD CHANCELLOR acquainted the House that'he " and their Lordships, together with the other House, had this day proceeded to wait upon his Majesty with the Address which they had agreed to upon the subject of the Union of the Legislatures of Great Britain and Ireland, and that his Maiesty was graciously pleased to accept the same; to which he had been pleased to return the following answer:— " It is with great satisfaction I receive your Address, stating your determination to maintain inviolate the Legislative Union of the two countries, which I perfectly agree with you, is essential to the safety, peace, and integrity of the British empire. I shall use the powers that are by law intrusted to me to put down and repress all attempts, by whomsoever made, to sever my dominions. I look back with satisfaction to the salutary laws which have for a series of years been passed , to remedy the grievances which affected my Irish subjects, and have resolved to continue to remove, from time to time, all just causes of complaint." Earl GREY then moved that the Address of their Lordships, together with his Majesty's gracious answer thereto, should be printed in the usual way.— The motion was agreed to. The Earl of RADNOR'moved the second reading of the Liverpool Bribery Bill.— The Earl of ELDON objected to it, on the ground that it disfranchised the innocent as well as the guilty.— A long discus- sion followed, in which several Peers took part. It ended in the adoption of a qualified amendment for the hearing of Counsel and evidence.— Adjourned. FRIDAY.— Various petitions were presented, amongst which was one from Perth, by Earl FITZWILLIAM, praying for the" repeal of the Corn Laws, in the prayer of which his Lordship expressed his con- currence. The Earl of MALMESBURY, the Duke of WELLINGTON, and the Ea. rl of RIPON exposed some of the fallacies of the favourite theory of Earl Fitzwilliam on this subject. The Bishop of LONDON took the opportunity of the presentation of a petition by the Bishop of CHICHESTER, praying the House to pass some law to enable the inhabitants of his Diocese to purchase lands from the Dean and Chapter, to state that the Ecclesiastical Commis- sion would make their report very shortly, which had been delayed in consequence of their anxiety to lay Returns of unquestionable accuracy before their Lordships. The Earl of WINCHILSEA alluded to a letter ( which had been noticed in the other House) alleged to have been written by Lord ANGLESEY to Earl GREY, recommending the abolition of the Church Establishment in Ireland.— Earl GREY admitted that a letter had been written of the date and upon the subject referred to, but denied that it bore the construction placed upon it by the Noble Earl. At the same time he condemned in the most severe terms the breach of confidence which had given such a letter to the public. The Duke of NEWCASTLE called the attention of the House to the approaching Musical Festival in Westminster Abbey, which he censured as a desecration of the Abbey.— The Earl of MALMESBURY, the Dnke of CUMBERLAND, and the Lord CHANCELLOR did not think it would be injurious to the Church. The Bishop of LONDON dis- approved of the Festival.— After a few words from the Duke of NEW- CASTLE the matter dropped. On the motion of Lord DURHAM witnesses appeared at the Bar of the House to be examined relative to the borough of Warwick. The first part of the evidence was not important, anathe further proceed- iags were postponed till Tuesday.— Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Mown AY.— The morning sitting was wholly occupied with petitions on the subject of the Dorset Unionists. At the - evening sitting the report of the Dungarvon Election Com- mittee was presented. It declared fte election void. The adjourned debate on Mr. O'Connell's motion was then resumed. Mr. O'CALLAGHAN spoke at considerable length, and maintained that the best interesls of Ireland had ibeen sacrificed . _ t to the adaption of thai measure, and that fraud and ' corruption were the meass by which Ireland had been deprived of its resident Legislature.— After an extended debate, the discussion was again adjourned. Sir J. GRAHAM moved the second reading of the Superannuations Bill, which was agreed to.— Lord ALTHORP moved that the Dissenters' Relief Bill be read this day six months.— Agreed to.— Adjourned. g TUESDAY.— The morning sitting was occupied, as usual, with the presentation of petitions. At the evening sitting, Mr. WALLACE postponed his motion, respecting the . Post- office till the 5th of June. The discussion of the Repeal question was then resumed, Mr. MULLINS having opened it with a speech in favour of the motion. — After an extended debate, iu which many Members took part, Mr. O'CONNELL replied, and the House divided, when there appeared, for the motion, 38— against it, 523.— Mr. HUME moved an amend- ment to the Address, which was negatived without a division, and the Address of Mr. S. Rice agreed to. Sir. E. KNATCHBULL obtained leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the sale of beer.— Adjourned. WEDNESDAY.— At the morning sitting several petitions were pre- sented in favour of a labour rate, and on the subject of the Trades' Unions. At the evening sitting, after many petitions in favour of a better observance of the Sabbath had been presented, Sir ANDREW AGNEW moved, without any introductory speech, that the Lord's Day Ob- servance Bill should be read a second time.— Sir. O. MOSLEY seconded the motion.— Mr. E. L. BULWER opposed the Bill, and moved as an amendment that it should be read a second time that day six months. — After an extended discussion, in which many Members took part, the House divided ; the numbers were— for the motion, 125; against it, 161; majority against the Bill, 36. Mr. TOOKF.' S Bill respecting climbing boys was read a second time.— Lord EBRINGTON'S Bill regarding weights and measures was read a second time, and referred to a Select Committee, on the understanding that the inquiry should be general— namely, as to the weights and measures ot England, Scotland, and Ireland.— The House was shortly afterwards counted out. THURSDAY.— Sir ROBERT HERON brought forward his motion for leave to bring in a Bill to prevent the vacation of seats by Members on the acceptance of certain offices. The Hon. Member introduced his motion by a speech in which he contended for the necessity of some arrangement of the kind, and maintained that since the passing of the Reform Bill, the power of controlling official appointments was not necessary to the people.— Mr. E. L. BULWER moved as an amendment, a resolution declaring, " That for the convenience of the public service, and for the promotion of the public good, it is desirable that one organ of each of the most influential public depart- ments shall have a seat in this House by virtue of his office, but without the privilege of voting unless returned by a public constitu- ency."— After speeches from Dr. LUSHINGTON, Colonel DAVIS, Mr. WARD, Mr. ROEBUCK, and Lord ALTHORP, both the motion and amendment were withdrawn. On the motion of Mr. HILL, a Committee was appointed to examine into the claims of Baron de BODE. Mr. BARRON'S motion respecting the educaton of the Irish poor was, after a short discussion, withdrawn.— Adjourned. FRIDAY.— At the early sitting, in answer to a question from Mr. D. W. HARVEY, Lord HOWICK stated that Lord Melbourne thought it his duty to recommend no mitigation of the sentence on the Dor- chester convicts. Mr. GOULBURN presented a petition from 809 Under- Graduates of the University of Cambridge, praying that the House would not accede to the claims of the Dissenters to be admitted to graduate. A short discussion ensued on the petition, which was adjourned on account of the hour for the Speaker to leave the chair having arrived. At the evening sitting, Sir E. KNATCHBULL asked Lord Palmerston whether any steps had been taken to protect the British fishermen in the exercise of their vocation in the Channel, which had been inter- rupted by the French authorities ?— Lord PALMERSTON said that he was in communication with the French Government on the subject, and that the matter should not be lost sight of. In reply to a question from Mr. ROBINSON, Lord PALMERSTOJI declared that the first notice which he had received of the intention of Don Pedro to reduce the duties on foreign goods imported to 15- per cent, for all nations, notwithstanding the Treaty of 18] 0 witli this country, was in the despatch which reached him on Thursday, forwarding a copy of the Decree.— Mr. ROBIKSON expressed his dis- satisfaction at the answer of the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and said he would bring the subject forward on a future day. Mr. LITTLETON moved a resolution in a Committee of the whole House for granting a loan of 100,0001. to the Ecclesiastical Commis- sioners in Ireland to meet the deficiencies of vestry cess, and stated various amendments he meant to propose to the Church Temporali- ties Bill.— Mr. HUME proposed an amendment, that the sum should be advanced by way of loan by the Commissioners for the issue of Exchequer Bils in Ireland; which, after some conversation, was agreed to. Mr. LITTLETON proposed the second reading of the Tithes ( Ireland) Bill. Mr. R. S. CAREW proposed, as an amendment, that the Bill should be read that day week, in order to enable the Hon. Secretary to make such amendments in the Bill as would make it suitable to the wants and wishes of Ireland. Mr. O'REILLY seconded the amendment . After a protracted discussion the House divided on the amendment, when there appeared— For it, 74 ; against it, 241; ma- jority, 167. The debate was understood to be adjourned to Tuesday- On moving for certain Returns, Colonel EVANS asked Lord Althorp to postpone the second reading of the Poor Laws Bill over Mon- day. After some conversation it was understood to be postponed till Friday.— Adj. DREADFUL EXPLOSION AT BIRMINGHAM. Friday, May 2, Seven o'Clock. — At twenty minutes before two- this afternoon a very dreadful shock was experienced in the neighbourhood of St. Philip's Church, in Birmingham. It appears that the landlord of the Rocket Tavern, in Little Charles- street, is a firework maker, and the alleged cause of this sad catastrophe is stated to be the sudden explosion of some detonating powder, which com- municated with a large heap of touch- paper. An immense quantity of gunpowder was on the premises; 300 weight was added to it only- yesterday. Three houses are completely destroyed. Two were blown in the air. A girl at the moment frying beef- steaks mira- culously escaped; she was in the house adjoining the tavern. A company of the 8th Hussars arrived here about half- past three to- clear the streets of the multitude who beset it, and active search commenced, and yet continues after the bodies. It is impossible to - calculate on the probable loss of life. Twelve tradesmen weredining together in one room— no account has yet been received of anj one of them ; four men and two women have been taken to the hospitalj and two more are discovered dead ; five were living a few minutes since. The fire was as short as it was destructive. Three quarters of an hour witnessed its commencement and end. Immense masses fell in the neighbouring streets. Furniture, & c., was blown in the air, yet few passengers were injured. One woman, from the shock, was actually lifted m the air, from the one side of the street to the other, and is unhurt. The premises belong to a young woman just of age, and are uninsured. Not a window is left in Little Charles- street uninjured. P. S. The twelve persons at dinner,_ and Mrs. Ashley herself, mi- racuously escaped destruction, being in a room at the back part of the premises. In consequence of the universal strike among the journeymen tailors, several of the masters having taken into consideration the- propriety of employing women in the place of men. Several coats made by women this week, who never attempted, or thought of such a thing before, are, in point of workmanship and make, but little inferior to those made by men. With a very little instruction there- can be little doubt but, in a few weeks, women would be able to make a coat equal to any journeyman tailor in London. Trousers and wafetcoats have, for a long time, been made by women, and coat-- making will now be attempted by the same persons, no doubt with success, and the absolute dominion hitherto enjoyed by the journey- men- tailors will be very much shaken. The masters met on Wednesday, at Willis's Rooms, and came to - an unanimous determination not to accede to the terms asked by the- men, and also " that the nobility, gentry, and public be respectfully- requested to co- operate with the master tailors, by suspending or- delaying orders."— It was shewn distinctly at this meeting, that the- workmen's demands would cause an increase of 25 per cent, on the present rate of wages, which was fixed by the men themselves in 1813. At that time the 41b. loaf cost 17d.; the same sum at this time will purchase 8ilbs, of bread; meat also is reduced about 30 per cent., and coals, are about half the price at the present time.— In the course of some observations in the House of Commons, on Tues- day, Sir Henry Hardinge said, he would rather go out iu his shirj than be a party to a tame submission to such demands. May 4. JOHN BULL. 139 NAVAL AND MILITARY. A general order has been recently promulgated granting the indulgence to Paymasters of regiments of an extra room for an office t wherever a room can be spared for the purpose in any barrack) and fuel. Lieutenant- Colonels William Beresford and C. R. O'Donnel are appointed to the Staff of Great Britain, and attached to the Northern district. His Majesty has commanded that Lords Varborough, Belfast, and Vernon, be in future styled Admiral, Vice- Admial, ana Rear- Admiral of His Majesty's Royal Yacht Fleet. The vessel which had been despatched to Sable Island to ascertain the fate of His Majesty' gun- brig Thais, which sailed so long since as December, from Halifax, with the American mails, has returned, but without bringing any intelligence of the packet. PORTSMOUTH, May 2.— Rear- Admiral \ Y . H. Gage, recently appointed Commander- in- Chief on the coasts of Spain and Portugal, hiis been created a Grand Cross of the Hanoverian Guelphic Order. Sir William will proceed to his command when the Hastings is ready for sea, and will hoist his flag ( on her arrival) at this port. The Revenge and President will be ready for sea about the end of this month. St. Vincent, 120, is daily expected at this port to be paid off. A negociation is on foot between the Admiralty and the Horse Guards relative to the occupation of the Marine " Barracks by the regiments of the line. In that case the Royal Marines will go to Forton, near G isport, and the other troops be permanently quar- tered altogether at Portsmouth. Princess Charlotte, 110, is pre- paring for sea service. Ganges, 84, and Bellerophon, 80, proceeding with their equipment, but neither as yet commissioned. Childers, 16, is in the same state. A Court- martial has been held at the Marine Barracks, Woolwich, upon eight men, for mutiny, in combining to refuse to perform drill, and insulting their commanding officer. The crime was fully proved; three were sentenced to transportation for seven years, three for fourteen, and one for life, and the other to 500 lashes". The last man • was immediately brought out into the yard to undergo his sentence, tut only received half the punishment." Small Sva. 10*. 6 i. THE SECOND SERIES of GLEANINGS in NATURAL HISTORY.— By EDWARD JESSE, Esq. Comprising Extracts from the unpublished Journals of White, of Selboume with Woodcuts. A New Edition of the FIRST SERIES was lately pubHshed. " We hazard little in predicting that the volume now before us' will be a fa- vourite with a large class of readers We turn again with pleasure to this charming and instructive volume, which more than partakes of tile- spirit of White, of Selbourne, and conveys the most pleasing emotions to the Wart, while it amuses the mind, and inform the head We might proceed to extract spe- cimens of curiosity and interest to a much greater length, but we erre almost ashamed of the pillage we have already, though most complimentary,, com- mitted on a single volume, & c."— Literary Gazette. John Murray, Albemarle- street. PELICAN LIFE ASSUKANCE OFFICES, Lombard street and Spring Gardens. Mrs. Thursday his Majesty, accompanied by his suite, reviewed the four ight infantry companies of the brigade of Foot Guards at the Riding House in Pimlico. The King's Company of the Grenadier Guards, light 1 at present stationed at the Tower, were also in attendance, and the whole of the troops appeared in full marching order. His Majesty arrived at the Riding House at eleven o'clock, and was received with the usual military honours, the band at the same time striking up God save the King. The appearance of the troops, who in these ' Companies are all chosen Guardsmen, was splendid in the extreme, and this being the season of the year when the new clothing is given - out contributed to heighten the effect. The troops were put through several evolutions, and his Majesty expressed himself highly pleased with the appearance and description of the different companies, and left Pimlico about twelve o'clock for St. James's.

A MONDAY EDITION- ( for the Country) is published at Three o'clock in the afternoon, containing the Markets and Latest News. JOHN BULL. LONDON, MAY 4. THEIR MAJESTIES came to town on Wednesday, and the KING held a Levee; and in the evening gave a splendid banquet to the Duke of WELLINGTON, and the Officers of his Grace's Regiment of Guards. The QUEEN honoured the Ancient Music with her presence. On Thursday their MAJESTIES went in state to Covent Garden Theatre, and were received by the audience with f every mark of respect and loyalty. One of the Royal Yachts, commanded by Lord ADOLPHUS FITZCLARENCE," which is to convey the QUEEN to the Continent, is fitting at Portsmouth for Her MAJESTY'S reception. A GREAT Meeting of Ministers and Ministerialists was held yesterday ; when it was most distinctly stated, on the part of Lord GREY and his colleagues, that if they were beaten in the division to- morrow night, on the Civil List Question, they would resign. They have so often cried " Wolf," that we cannot give them credit for this threat— which, we believe, was only put for- ward to settle the unsettled, and decide the wavering : although we must admit, that the difficulty in which Lord GREY ( after all his old Whig flourishes) would be placed, in advising His MAJESTY as to the answer to be returned to an address upon the subject, would be great— but not more so than that upon the Repeal of the Union question, out of which he has floundered most entertainingly. For our own parts, we have no desire to see the Govern, ment beaten to- inorrow upon the question, and we are quite sure that Lord GREY will meet with the support of those Conservatives to whose aid and countenance he is indebted for being Prime Minister at this moment. We believe that a change of Government is every hour becoming more and more necessary to the preservation of the country ; but we are quite sure that it is not desirable to work that change by carrying a measure having for its object the destruction of the Royal prerogative, and the rendering ( of all men in the king- dom) the KING himself unable to bestow a mark of grace and favour upon a deserving object, or, to use a now cant political phrase, " Do as he likes with his own." THE farce of the Repeal debate is over, and Mr. O'CON- NELL who got returned, with his Tail, to Parliament on his pledge to Repeal the Union, has most satisfactorily exposed the real state of his influence and power in the country. In a division of the House of Commons, thirty- eight men only, could be found to support his mad proposition, against the votes of five hundred and twenty- three— of those thirty- eight, thirty- seven were Irish Members ; so that, while of the whole House only one English Member could be found to support the motion, no fewer than fifty- seven Irish Members opposed it. Nothing could more decidedly set the question at rest than this division, in which, as we nave just said, we find only one English Member— a gentleman of the name of KEN- NEDY, who was petitioned against, on the ground of non qualification, and would not defend his seat, but was re elected by the independent electors of Tiverton after lie was unseated. The effect produced by the division, upon Lord GREY, appears to have been almost magical, for on Wednesday evening his Lordship delivered a speech, calling upon the Lords to agree to the resolutions of the Commons, in which he talked the most Ultra- Conservatism, declared that some- thing must be immediately done to put down the insurrec- tionary spirit in Ireland, or she would be lost to England; and that he would pledge the Government to use the powers confided to them with a strong arm. He then proceeded to make a formal recantation of all the things he had ever said in opposition to the Union, when it was first proposed; and declared his conviction that it was no dereliction of principle for a man to confess himself wrong, after the experience of upwards of a quarter of a century of the advantages of the measure to the country, which he had so violently attacked. This is an agreeable confession for the party to which ( with the exception of the short period when his Lordship was un- successfully coquetting with the Duke of WELLINGTON) Lord GREY has always been attached. It is vastly pleasant to the deluded mobs, who have listened, as their fathers and grandfathers before them have listened, to the fine flaming speeches of the Anti- Unionist CHARLES GREY, to be told— Yes, my friends, I said so then; but I am older and wiser now; and besides, then I was in Opposi- tion, now I am in office ; then I was one of the Friends of the People, now I am a friend to myself— Here I am, and there you are— I helped to fill your minds with all the re- volutionary principles which now animate them— I was one of yourselves, and never expected to be anything else: but the case is altered, and if you dare to practice upon my precepts, I will exercise fearlessly the powers confided to me, and put you down with a strong hand. It is true that I did oppose the Union, and that I had strong feelings about Ire- land, and that I accompanied my late lamented friends, Fox and ERSKINE, to give evidence to the character of Mr. ARTHUR O'CONNOR ; when the present Duke of BEDFORD swore that he had always a rery high opinion of Mr. O'CON- NOR'S principles and character; adding, " I conceive his principles to be the same as those which have always guided my own conduct— to be in favour of a sound national constitu- tional liberty"— and when the Duke of NORFOLK swore that Mr. O'CONNOR was a gentleman acting warmly in the political line, and attached to constitutional principles in the same way as himself. Mr. MICHAEL ANGELO TAYLOR swore that, in his opinion, O'CONNOR was attached to the principles upon which the opposition of this country is conducted.'''' Lord ERSKINE swore, that Mr. O'CONNOR " principally lived*- ith persons of high rank in the public world; Mr. Fox, Mr. GREY, Mr. SHERIDAN, & C. ; that he was incapable of acting with treachery or duplicity to any man, but most of all to those for whom he professed friendship and regard; and," adds Lord ERSKINE, " I do know positively of my own knowledge, that he has been in the constant course of professing not merely regard, but admiration and enthu- siasm. for the persons whose names I have mentioned.'''' " I may say," continued his Lordship, " that I never had any reason to think that Mr. O'CONNOR'S principles and opinions differed from my own." Mr. Fox swore, that Mr. O'CONNOR " lived principally with company in which he had the honour himself to live a good deal. He was very much with the leading Members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, who are some- times called the Opposition, who are generally in the minority. He is very ardent and affectionate in his friendships, and totally without any reserve— I should think," says Mr. Fox, " as much as any man I have the honour to be acquainted with." Upon this occasion, Mr. GREY was not examined; but Mr. PLUMF. R stated to Mr. Justice BULLER, that Mr. GREY aud several other gentlemen were in attendance to give similar testimony, and willing and desirous to be called to attest to Mr. O'CONNOR'S character. We merely mention this circumstance to shew how very warmly Lord GREY must have felt at that period about Irish affairs," and how strangely he must have felt when this pa- ragon of perfection, O'CONNOR, the man of such unreserved communication to those whom he admired, venerated, and loved, confessed himself an Irish Rebel! It is instructive, we say, for the People, to see how the Whig in office can throw overboard the feelings and recollections of other days, and take credit for recanting opinions formed and acted upon, in the prime of life, when his example in mischief could not fail to be, in a tenfold degree, ttiore powerful thau his present opposition to those principles in his old age can be service- able in quelling the troubles which have had their origin in them. But, now, the Union is everything. Truly so it is; and if Mr. GREY were sincere ty'hen he opposed it, what a proof of his weakness that is— if he be sincere in supporting it now, what a lesson, we say,, to those who then put confidence in his talents, and looked up to him as a popular leader. But, looking much nearer our own time, what will Lord ANGLESEY think— he who was the greatest and first to advise the Irish people to " agitate,"— when he. finds that Lord GREY is determined to stop their agitation altogether— or what will Mr. LITTLETON, the truckler to Mr. O'CONNELL, think, at hearing his Agitating friend so menaced. For the sake of the empire, we rejoice that Lord GREY has at last come to his senses— it is rather late, we confess, but better late than never. Cheered by the voices of five hundred and twenty- three Members of Parliament, he feels new life and vigour; and so supported, announces a determination to do that fearlessly, which in the days of his Opposition he would have denounced as barbarous and tyrannical. We repeat, and we will repeat it again and again, that the Mobocracy of England never can read themselves a better lesson than they will find iu Lord GREY'S speech of Wed- nesday— to the other classes of society it will be found highly amusing, but to those who flatter themselves that the Whigs love them dearly and lead them sincerely, it ought to be most seriously instructive. OUR readers may remember that, in the early part of last year, we took the liberty of mentioning certain facts connected with a letter written by the Marquess of ANGLESEY to the Minister, which contained his then Excellency's views as to the absolute necessity of a particular course of conduct to be pursued in the Government of Ireland. Somehow, this letter has got into circulation, and having been referred to, by Mr. HUME iu the House of Commons, and by Lord WINCHILSEA iu the House of Lords, has pro- duced one of those displays which are so agreeable to the present Cabinet, and which occasionally make manifest to the country the entire confidence each member of it has in his colleagues, their personal regard for each other's opinions, and their general capacity for conducting the public business. When Mr. HUME alluded to the letter, Lord ALTHORP denied its existence— point- blank. This was on Tuesday, in the House of Commons. On Fridav, in the House of Lords, when Lord WINCHILSEA mentioned it, Lord GREY, without hesitation, admitted the letter, but denied the contents, and satisfied himself with denouncing most violently the perpetra- tion of such a shameful breach of confidence as had been committed by somebody, in exhibiting or commenting upon a letter of such vital importance, which was intended by a Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland for the eyes of the Cabinet exclu- sively. Thus, it is clear that either Lord ALTHORP was never told of the letter, or that he resolved upon a different course of answer to the question upon it in the Commons to that adopted by Lord GREY in the Lords, or that, if Lord GREY had thought it worth while to mention it to him at all, he had entirely forgotten the whole affair. Nothing can be more amusing than all this. As to how the letter got about, nobody who knows the high mind and noble spirit of the Marquess of ANGLESEY, could, for a moment, imagine that lie had allowed any person to see this letter, or given a copy of it for any political purposes, or with a view of making himself popular amongst those whose power and importance he appeared so highly to appreciate. But those who know Lord ANGLESEY, know that, amidst all the honour and virtue which fills his heart and mind, there does lurk a little imp called Vanity. Assailed by the flattery of Dr. DOYLE, Lord CLONCURRY, and the others of that Popish Council by which he was sur- rounded, could he avoid exhibiting to them this patriotic production of his vice- regal pen ? Soothed into a mistaken confidence by their submissive adulation, he might have per- mitted them to see and praise the composition. Who was it gave publicity to Dr. CURTIS'S letter ? The letter, however, is now a secondary matter; but the scene the discovery of it opens to public view, is— if we may be allowed the expression— ludicrously melancholy, and puts either Lord GREY or Lord ALTHORP in a position which, if we described it as they will in Northamptonshire, might get us into a scrape. EVERY day, every hour, adds to the miseries of Ministers ; the exposures of their weakness continue to increase, and we need only go back to Thursday to prove the wretchedness of their condition, by calling the reader's attention to the pro- ceedings of the House of Commons upon that evening. Sir ROBERT HERON had given notice of a motion touching the vacating and occupation of seats in Parliament by certain members of the Government, which motion Ministers resolved to support. When they got into the House, they found their friends by no means so staunch as they had expected; and after hearing Sir ROBERT HERON'S speech, which was a sort of abstract of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech on the Reform Bill, and which, coming from him, excited continued merri- ment on every side, they began to waver; and at last Lord ALTHORP agreed that, although such a Bill might be consti- tutionally brought in— yet— yet— that, did not appear to be the convenient time: whereupon Mr. EDWARD LYTTON BULWER made a speech, and moved an amendment. This, under the circumstances, it might have been supposed Minis- ters could have supported; but no— such was their utter helplessness, that they could neither support the measure they proposed to forward, nor that, which they virtually adopted when they abandoned the former one; the consequence of which was, that both motion and amendment fell to the ground. But this was not enough. The second display was in the affair of Baron DE BODE. The case of Baron DE BODE— who, for our own parts, we believe to be an ill- used man— has been decided by three sets of Ministers. It has been carried to the House of Lords— to the Common Law Courts— to tile Court of Chancery— to the Privy Council; and in each and every one of those tribunals, and by the twelve Judges to boot, it has been decided against the unfortunate Baron. Never- theless, Mr. POLLOCK, and some other Conservatives, thought it right to make some strongisli observations on the affair; and although the question has been so entirely and com- pletely settled, sooner than divide, Lord ALTHORP granted a Committee for the consideration of the Baron's claims. In order to heighten the merits of this proceeding, we need only add, that it afforded Mr. LITTLETON the opportunity of' speaking against the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and' that he availed himself of it accordingly. As the climax— the winding up, and the ultimate consum- mation of ( he non- intervention system, to which our present precious Ministers pledged themselves when they took office, we beg to submit, what we are told, and confidently believe, are the heads of a Treaty entered into by this country, con- jointly with France— to INTERFERE openly in the affairs of PORTUGAL. And, never let it be forgotten, that if we had not meanly, sneakingly, and shabbily— not to say, cruelly and unjustly — interfered clandestinely before, the question at issue in PORTUGAL would have been settled two years since,, and ENGLAND have been iu prosperous communication with her ancient ally. We trust that the nation, by her represen- tatives, will stop Lord PALMERSTON in his career of folly, and remonstrate against an act which is to involve GREAT BRITAIN in an expensive maritime war, for no other purpose than to sustain the French Monarchy, by giving a new turn to the thoughts of the French people, aud a fine employment for the French army. " 1st. Don PEDRO binds himself to expel Don CARLOS from Por- tugal, and to publish an amnesty in favour of such of the adherents of Don MIGUEL as may, within a limited time, desert the cause of that Sovereign. " 2d. The Queen Regent of SPAIN binds herself to send an army into Portugal to assist in placing Donna MARIA upon the throne. " 3d. His BRITANNIC MAJESTY binds himself to lend the aid of such a fleet as mat/ be deemed necessary to co- operate with the land forces of his allies in settling the affairs of Spain and Portugal. " 4. The King of the FRENCH binds himself to contribute to the objects of the league such aid, of every kind, as the other three con- - trading parties may jointly demand." This Treaty was signed at London on the 22d of April— Why not on the 1st ? In SPAIN, Don CARLOS is everywhere succeeding, and if" Don MIGUEL will now bestir himself, and strike a blow, the- weak and wicked designs of France and England may yet be frustrated. THE Eclectic Review, with a coolness, amounting almost to serious impudence, said in its last number:— " While dissent has done this, it has been made to contribute its proportion towards the support of an endowed Church, and yet has,., as if refreshed by its exertions, GREATLY SURPASSED that Church in its contributions* of service- money, to those greater efforts of Chris- tian benevolence, which are not of a sectarian but general character." Similar statements have been hazarded in other quarters, and have been instantly refuted by facts. The present auda- cious falsehood has aroused the feelings of a correspondent of that admirably conducted work The British Magazine, who writes from Nottingham thus :—• " Nottingham, April 10, 1834. " MR. EDITOR,— 111 compliance with your wish to obtain informa- - tion respecting the relative proportion which the public charities of the Dissenters bear to those of Churchmen, I beg to refer you to the last reports of the Committees for the General Hospital, the Lunatic Asylum, and the Dispensary in the County Town of Nottingham, from which you may glean the following particulars :— Names of Charities.

THE case of Magdalen College in the reign of JAMES II., has not tmfreqnently been referred to— during the discussion of the question, of admitting Dissenters to Degrees at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge— as involving, in an eminent degree, the principle of altering the statutes of those Universities, by the intervention of the Royal authority or otherwise. A brief abstract of that case may not be uninteresting. The Presidentship of St. Mary Magdalen College having been vacated by the death of Dr. HENRY CLARK ; the Vice- President, Dr. ALDRIDGE gave the customary notice of an election to fill that office, which election was to take place on Thursday, the 31st of March, 1687. Before the day of election, it was generally rumoured that the- KING, JAMES the Second, had granted his letter mandatory, direct- ing the Fellows to elect Mr. ANTHONY FARMER ; upon which, as the- Fellows of Magdalen had proof of his incapability to be so elected or to hold the office, they prepared a petition, begging His MAJEST to leave them to a free election. This petition was delivered by Dr. SMITH to the Earl of SUNDER- LAND, to be submitted to the KING ; but, from a narrative of the case, drawn up by Dr. SMITH himself at the time, it seems doubtful whether the petition was presented to the KING until after several steps had been taken in the affair at Oxford. Certain it is, that, on the Monday previous to the proposed election, Mr. ROBERT CHAR- NOCK arrived at Magdalen with the letter mandatory of the KING, directing the Fellows to elect Mr. ANTHONY FARMER President; of which Mr. CHARNOCK, a very distinguished actor in the scenes which June 141. JOHN BULL. 191 followed, it may be only necessary to observe, that, eight years after- wards, he was hanged, drawn, and quartered, at Tyburn, for being concerned in a conspiracy to murder King WILLIAM THE THIRD. Upon the receipt of the KING'S letter by the hands of this most worthy Fellow of their College, the rest of the electors resolved to postpone the election until they received an answer to their petition to the KING, which, it appears, did not arrive until the Friday fol- lowing, when Dr. SMITH communicated the fact of its having been received, and that the answer was, " His MAJESTY expected to be obeyed." Upon this announcement, it was resolved, with the exception of Mr. CHARNOCK and Dr. SMITH himself ( who wished to defer the election until a second appeal had been made to the KING), that the election should be proceeded with ; and, accordingly, after the Holy Sacrament had been administered to all the Fellows present, except Mr. CHARNOCK, the Fellows proceeded to the election, according to the Statutes, which were previously read ; and the choice of eleven of the Fellows out of thirteen, fell upon Mr. HOUGH— afterwards Bishop of WORCESTER— and Mr. MAYNARD was appointed to present the said President elect to the Visitor, in order to his admission. Mr. CHARNOCK and Mr. THOMPSON then declared viva voce for Mr. FARMER, according to His MAJESTY'S letter. The next day, Mr. HOUGH was presented to the Visitor, the Bishop of WINCHESTER, sworn into office, and on the day after, Sun- day, repeated the oath in College, and at five o'clock prayers took his seal as President in the College Chapel. The answer which the Vice- President and Fellows gave to the KING'S mandatory letter, contained their reasons for not complying with its injunctions, namely, the utter unfitness of Mr. FARMER for the office, in support of which, evidence was produced that FARMER had been expelled from Trinity College, Cambridge, for misbe- haviour ; that having left Cambridge, he taught at a school at Chip- penham, in Wiltshire, under a Non- conformist minister; that subsequently he had entered himself of Magdalen Hall, in Oxford, where such frequent complaints were laid against him that he was advised to quit that Society, which he did ; that he afterwards was admitted of Magdalen College, and that at the\ ery time at which the KING'S letter, commanding his election to the presidentship, was received, he was at Abingdon, living in low and riotous company, where he behaved in a most extraordinary manner to Mrs. MARTHA MORTIMER, landlady of the Lobster Inn, in that town; and, in company with one HOPKINS, he, in a drunken frolic, pulled up the town stocks, and carried them away and threw them into a pool called Mad HALL'S Pool; and besides this, his own confession, made ten years before at Cambridge, upon the occasion of his first admoni- tion, in which he says, " I, ANTHONY FARMER, Bachelor of Arts, and Scholar of this College, do confess that I have behaved myself very unlike a member of this College, and even a Christian, at the dancing school, for which I humbly ask pardon." These and a variety of other testimonials to character were laid before the Commissioners for ecclesiastical affairs previous to the proceedings which the poor KING was ultimately advised to permit. Of the five Fellows of the College deputed to make the answer, to which were appended such portions of the statutes as related to the election of Presidents, and the oath to be taken by the electors, one, Dr. FAIRFAX did not sign, and when the answer was read he desired to be heard apart. The LORD CHANCEILOR, whose black heart was set upon humbling the University, and overthrowing the most sacred institutions of the country, appeared mightily pleased at finding, as he supposed, a submissive member in the person of the Doctor, and changing his manner to a courteous smile, said, " Aye, this looks like a man of sense and a good subject, let us hear him." The LORD CHANCELLOR, whom NORTH describes as " talking fluently, and with spirit, but as having the weakness to be unable to re- prehend without scolding, and in such Billingsgate language as should not come from the mouth of every man," was, however, not long in tliis placid humour; for upon Doctor FAIRFAX explaining that he had not signed the answer because " he denied the authority which required it,'' the CHANCELLOR began to give him what his Lordship used to call " a lick with the rough side ofhis tongue," and told him that " he was a Doctor of Divinity, and not of law ;" upon which the Doctor desired to know " by what commission they sat;" upon which the LORD CHANCELLOR— who was sober, too— flew into one of his vulgar passions, and said,—" Pray, what commission have you to be so impudent in Court;— this man ought to be kept in a dark room. Why do you suffer him without a guardian— let the officers seize him!' The Commissioners, after a debate, proceeded to deprive Mr HOUGH ofhis Presidency, and to suspend Dr. FAIRFAX and Dr. ALD WORTH from their Fellowships; and the KING issued an inhibition to the College, by which they were prevented from proceeding to any election or admission of any persons into any place or office in the College, until His MAJESTY'S pleasure should be known, " any sta- tute._, custom, or constitution to the contrary notwithstanding." On the 18tli of July the inhibition was dated, and on the 14tli of August His MAJESTY'S mandate was despatched to the Fellows to elect the Bishop of OXFORD President, and at the same time they received a letter from the Bishop stating that from illness he should be unable to attend in person, but that he desired them to admit him by proxy in the person either of the senior Fellow or by one of his own Chaplains. On the 4th of September, the KING himself being at Oxford, sent for the Fellows to come to him at Christcliurch, where he was lodged and there a very sharp conversation took place between the KING and Dr. PUDSAY, which ended by His MAJESTY ( who, it seems, grew more and more irritable and peevish, as his affairs became entangled by the weakness and wickedness of his Ministers) saying, " Get you gone home— go, get you gone— repair to your chapel and elect the Bishop of OXFORD, or else expect to feel the weight of my hand. They again offered their petition, but the KING would not have it, and told them he would hear nothing till they had elected the Bishop of OXFORD. Upon which they repaired to the Chapel, and Dr. P UDSA Y inquired whether they would elect the Bishop of OXFORD, in obedience to the KING'S command? To which they all answered, each in his turn " That they were as ready to obey His MAJESTY in all things that lay in their power as any of his subjects, but the electing the Bishop of OXFORD was directly contrary to their statutes and the positive oaths they had taken, and they could not apprehend it in their power to obey him in this matter." On the 15tli of September six questions were transmitted to the Fellows, to which they replied calmly and resolutely, and expressed their belief that no Commission could be issued under the Great Seal to alter the constitution of Colleges, or place, or displace members; but their answer proving unsatisfactory, a KING'S messenger fixed a citation on the College and Chapel doors, on Wednesday, Oct. 19, summoning the pretended President and Fellows to appear before the Bishop of CHESTER, Lord Chief Justice WRIGHT, and Mr. Baron JENNER, on the following Friday, in the Chapel. The next day, the Lords Commissioners arrived, attended by three troops of horse. On Friday they met, and the Commission being read, the President and Fellows were called in, and the Bishop of CHESTER ( of whose " drunken humours" NARCISSUS LUTTRELL writes) made a long speech, exhorting them to obey the KING, and then adjourned till two o'clock, when all persons belonging to the College were called in. Dr. HOUGH spoke as to the shortness of time afforded them between the citation and the sitting, and desired a copy of the Commission bv which they sat, which was denied. He then protested against the visitation: and, admitting that the KING might alter the statutes, and even that a Parliament might do so, declared himself sworn not to admit of any stlch change or altera- tion by any authority whatever. The same scene was repeated the following day, when Dr. HOUGH was repeatedly asked whether he would deliver up the keys to the person whom His MAJESTY had appointed President? to which Dr. HOUGH replied, he had as yet neither heard nor seen anything to in- duce him to do so. He was then admonished to quit the College, and then the Commissioners struck his name out of the Buttery book. Dr. FAIRFAX underwent asimilar inquisitorial process, which, in like manner, ended by the Commissioners striking his name out of the book, against which, and all their proceedings, Dr. HOUGH pro- tested, in terms which created a murmur of applause. Upon which the Commissioners bound him in a bond of 1,0001., and sureties to an equal amount, to appear in the Court of King's Bench, on the 12th of November. Upon which Mr. BARON JENNER, the junior Commissioner, wound up the scene with a pun, saying, " Sir, you must not think to Huff us." Upon the Tuesday following, Mr. WIGGINS, Chaplain to the Bishop of OXFORD, was called before the Commissioners, and the KING'S mandate being read for the election of the Bisfiop of OXFORD, and the Bishop's appointment of Mr. WIGGINS as his'proxy, they proceeded to the Chapel, where the Bishop of CflESTERplaced Mr. WIGGINS in the President's Stall, when he took all the requisite oaths; none of the Fellows attending, or being present, except that most respectable gentleman, Mr. CHARNOCK. After this they proceeded, with ATTER- BURY, the KING'S messenger, a tipstaff*, and a blacksmith, to the President's lodgings, of wlich they forced the door. They then re- tired to the council room. Doctor FAIRFAX here protested, and was struck out of the Buttery Book, . and, in like manner, on the Friday, the other Fellows were called in and desired to acknowledge their contrition for the contempt they had shewn to His MAJESTY'S mandate, and promise to behave better in future ; to which demand they replied in an address, refusing to make any such acknowledfnnent, at the same, time professing all due loyalty to the KING and his authority, where the oaths and statutes did not bind them not to recognise it. At this sttting, Mr. FULHAM, a Fellow, was struck off the books ; and the Commissioners busied themselves with inquiring into the property of the College, and so adjourned until the 16th of November, upon which day they called in Mr. JOYNER and Mr. ALLIBOXE, and entered them actual Fellows— dispensing with alt oaths, except those of a Fellow. They then— after a long speech from the Bishop of CHESTER, describing the course of proceedings— laid before the re maing Fellows a declaration of contrition, more submissive than the former one, which they all, except Dr. THOMAS SMITH and Mr, CHARNOCK, refused to sign. It was upon this occasion that the Bishop of CHESTER said to Dr. ALDWORTH, the Vice- President— " Your statutes are over- ruled by the KING'S authority;" to which he answered—" My Lords, your Lordships sit here as visitors, which implies that there are certain laws and statutes which we are bound to observe, and by which we are governed; and if it shall appear to your Lordships that we have acted conformably to those statutes, I hope we shall neither incur the KING'S displeasure, nor your Lord- ships'. The whole tenor of our statutes runs, that we should invio lably maintain our rights, and observe the rules of our Founder who, if we vary from them, has laid his curse upon us in these words -—" Ordinamus sub pwna anathematis et indignationis Omnipotentis Dei, fyc. Item sub interminatione Divinis Judicis intcrdicimus." " Are you not," said the Bishop of CHESTER, " to obey the KING as well as the founder's statutes ?"' " My Lord," replied the Vice- President, " I ever did obey the KING, and ever will. Our statutes, which we are sworn to observe, are confirmed by several Kings and Queens before and since the Re- formation, and as we keep them, are agreeable to the KING'S laws, both ecclesiastical and civil; and so long as we live up to them we obey the KING." After this, all the Fellows were asked if they would sign the sub missive address, and acknowledge the authority of the Bishop of OXFORD; and, with the exception of Mr. CHARNOCK, the gentleman who was afterwards hanged, drawn, and, quartered, they refused Whereupon a paper was fixed upon the College gates, expelling all those who would not sign, and which received a most important corroboration, dated from Whitehall, De*. 10, in another publica- tion, rendering all these gentlemen, in number twenty- seven, inca- pable of being admitted to any ecclesiastical promotion, and disqua- lifying those of the number, not yet in orders, from ordination. On the 17th of January, 1688, the day on which the thirty demies of Magdalen College were summoned to appear before the Bisop of OXFORD, and none of them appearing, the respectable Mr. CHAR- NOCK, who had been appointed Vice- President of the College, called for the Buttery book, and struck out the names of fourteen of them who were resident in the University. And so for a time these destroyers triumphed; but to shew the justice and wisdom of their measures, and the feeling of the country upon their proceedings, the weak, vacillating KING, having heard that the Prince of ORANGE was coming to England, did, on the 12th of October, 1688, direct the Bishop of WINCHESTER, visiter of Magdalen College, to recal Dr. HOUGH and all the Fellows of the Society by the 3rd of November following; but an account arriving that the fleet of the Prince of ORANGE had been disabled by a storm, the order was withdrawn, and the restoration of the College put off— wljen His MAJESTY, again hearing that the fleet was ready for sea, he was graciously pleased to direct the process to go on, and the COLLEGE WAS RESTORED on the 24th of November, 1688. It has been stoutly argued that the alteration in the KING'S inten- tion was not produced by the news of the dispersion of the Prince's fleet, and that the temporary revocation was made before that news arrived. Be that as it may, the apprehension of the day of retribu- tion secured the restoration of the firm and conscientious men who were then— as no doubt there are now as many— ready to sacrifice all their temporal advantages to a just and steady maintenance of the sacred obligations into which they have entered, to keep their statutes unimpaired and their oaths unqualified. - The College did itself im- mortal honour. Dr. HOUGH was publicly declared President, the Fellows were reinstated, and the city of Oxford, participating ( as we rejoice to see the town of Cambridge doingatthis moment) in anxiety for the welfare of the University, and partaking of the joy which was felt for its triumph, made the streets as light as day with their bonfires and illuminations, and the night joyous with feasting andi ringing of bells. These proceedings are now matters of great importance, and we* are quite sure that our readers who happen not to have the work whence this abridgment is made, at hand, will not be displeased with seeing the details of a noble and unworldly resistance to an invasion of sacred rights involving the most sacred interests of the country— those of the Established Church. THEIR MAJESTIES visited the Exhibition at the Royal Academy on Friday, the Royal Suite consisting of six carriages. After which there was a large assemblage of nobility and patrons of art ad- mitted, by invitation of the members, to the private view, according to annual custom. The Exhibition will be opened to the public to- morrow', and we confidently state that it will prove highly honourable to British art. Notwithstanding the absence of the works of LESLIE, NEWTON, and MULREADY, whose pictures have been among the most attractive, so rich and abundant is the collection of the present year, that we have still an unusually powerful combination of admirable works, most harmoniously and skilfully arranged. Mr. HILTON, who we cannot but place at the head of our school, has produced a grand and beautiful picture, on a large scale, from a striking incident in British history, viz. The Finding of the Dead Body of King Harold after the Battle of Hastings ;— and the moment chosen by the painter is that, when EDITH recognises the lineaments of her lover, though he appeared totally disfigured to other eyes. Whether considered with reference to composition, or to colour, it is a work; that may fairly compete with the finest works of art of any period. The Portraits, by the President, of Sir HENRY HALFORD and others, possess more than their usual force and brilliancy; while that of Mr. CONST, by PICKERSGILL, is painted in his very best manner, and is a striking likeness. WILKIE'S Spanish Mother possesses very greatcharms of character and colour, though the drawing is imperfect; and we hail with plea- sure the spirit and freedom by which his powerful pencil has been inspired on this occasion. His lesser picture of Not at Home is in the style peculiarly his own, and is fully equal to the expectations of his-, most sanguine admirers. TURNER has several, CALLCOTT has several, and COLLINS and LANDSEER each two pictures, all among the best productions of these truly eminent artists; and the names of BRIGGS, STANFIELD, ALLAN, EASTLAKE, and UWINS, are most honourably supported by their re- spective works. From ETTY we have two small pictures; but severe illness, w © believe, has prevented his contributing more largely. The scene from HENRY the Eighth, between WOLSEY and BUCK- INGHAM, by Mr. HART, must also attract peculiar notice, from its great merit of style and colour. We pretend to do no more on the preseat occasion, than merely to mention a few of those principal pictures on which we found the truth of our assertion, that the Exhibition of this year will be found above the usual average, in excellence, strength, and variety. The lower rooms we could only glance at, but CHALON'S exquisite draw- ings will be found there, with all their usual taste and beauty; and many good drawings in water- colours. Flowers, Shells, Sfc., by Mrs. POPE, are painted with all the truth and talent for which her works are celebrated. The objects are happily composed, and beautifully coloured. Mr. BARTHOLOMEW'S flower pieces are in a different, but not less powerful, style ; and are full of the feeling of a painter. We shall enter into a more careful examination of the merits of the numerous admirable works at future opportunities: and con- clude, with an anxious hope, that the patrons of art will be as generous in encouraging our painters, as they have evidently been anxious to deserve encouragement. THE DECLARATION OF THE SCOTCH PRESBYTERIAN CONGREGATION OF HARBOTTLE, IN THE COUNTY OF NORTHUMBERLAND. Harbottle, 10th April, 1834. ENJOYING, as we do, the blessings of religious freedom under the Church of England, and partaking in common with her own Mem- bers, of the incalculable benefits which she is the author of to the whole community, we feel ourselves called upon, not only by a con- scientious sense of gratitude, but by a dutiful regard for the future happiness of the country, to make this public dedlaration of our- sentiments towards the Establishment, lest by remaining silent at a time like the present, we should subject them to suspicion, and ex- pose ourselves to the evil of being numbered with her adversaries. We trust that a sincere attachment to the doctrines and discipline of the Church of Scotland, will be deemed a sufficient reason for our omitting, on the present occasion, all expressions towards a Church differing from our own in a few unimportant things, incon- sistent with our character and principles. But while we waive what we could not applaud without condemn- ing ourselves, we openly avow our sincere regard for the National Church, looking on her as the very citadel of the Christian faith, the best armoury of religious truth, the noblest guardian of genuine Christianity, and the strongest bulwark against heterodoxy, infidelity, . atheism, arianism, unitarianism, and popery, in the world. Neither can we withhold our acknowledgment of the immense ad- vantages which all classes, but especially the sick and indigent of thinly inhabited districts, derive from a National Establishment, whereby instruction and comfort, peace and piety, are conveyed into- the hearts and houses of thousands who would otherwise be left en- tirely destitute. Holding these sentiments, we cannot but solemnly deprecate all the base attempts of unhallowed hands to endanger the safety and utility, to invade the rights and privileges, or to disfigure the ap- pearance of so venerable a fabric. THE publishing season appears to be at its height. From all quarters, and upon all subjects, new works, and new editions of old ones, crowd upon our view, and this, in addition to the periodicals of the month, makes such a stir in the Bookselling world that we have scarcely room to notice half of what is laid before us. Blackwood gives a double number full of powerful writing,, and a " Nox;" but we confess it to be too full of localities and personalities ( piquante enough, no doubt, in Edinburgh) to be per- fectly enjoyable by us. Fraser is not so good as usual, but it is hard to keep up such a work to the point of brilliancy at which we are in the habit generally of seeing it. The New Monthly contains some papers, called Dialogues of the Living, in which there is much after our own hearts. The United Service Journal is remark- ably good. The first article, on the brilliant services of the French army since the Revolution, is capital. We must, however, just observe, that it appears to us rather a pity that so much space of the valuable columns of this work should be appropriated to personal explanations and vindications. They are as interesting, no doubt, 142 JOHN BULL. May 18. as we are sure they are honourable, to the individuals who enter into them with the best motives and upon the most honourable principles, but some other medium should be found for them, than a periodical the miscellaneous character of which is one of its greatest attractions. : The Metropolitan is fully worthy ofits predecessors, and we begin to suspect that Jacob Faithful is destined to follow in the brilliant wake of Peter Simple. The Court Magazine, the beautiful work with the beau- tiful Editor, is rich in literary and graphic subjects. The portrait of the Honourable MARY ANNE JERVIS, the all accomplished daughter of Lord ST. VINCENT, and who might, without fear of dispute, assume the title of ST. CECILIA, is a very beautiful engraving, from a well- executed likeness. A new of Alnwick Castle deserves our praise, and the plates of fashions demand our admiration, not only because they are good of their sort, but because they are totally un- like anything that ever was, will be, or could be worn, except in Kamschatka, Madagascar, Lynn Regis, or Devonport. The Portrait Gallery of the month contains likenesses of Dr. OLINTHUS GREGORY, Sir JEFFERY WYATVILLE, and— of all birds of the air— Mr. BAINES, the Member for Leeds. If this last effigies is devoid ofmucli attraction, the biography which accompanies it makes up for it in'interest. Mr. M IIRRAY has just commenced a most valuable and interesting work, to be completed in six volumes, an " Universal History, from the Creation of the World," which will commence as the 41st volume of his Family Lilrary, a work which stands unparalleled for amuse- ment and instruction, and for cheapness. The same spirited pub- lisher has commenced a series of beautiful Illustration:; of the Bible, which do great credit to the burin of FINDEN. Messrs. BULL and CHURTON, of Holies- street, have also begun a series of Illustrations of the Holy Scriptures, which, in their way, are deserving of high praise. They are composed of a series of wood- cuts from pictures and drawings by the best artists. Of course they cannot compete with~ the higher finished engravings : nor is it fit they should ; for, excellently executed as they are, the Number — containing eight illustrations— is sold, letter- press included, for one shilling. We havermore than or. ee noticed the exertions of these publishers, and are glad to have occasion to repeat the praise we have felt it our duty to bestow upon them. IT Mr. VALFY'S beautiful edition of the History of England has reached, its fourth volume, and truly maintains the reputation its first appearance obtained— in that, as in his recently concluded Shakespeare, the beauty of the illustrations increases as the work . proceeds. New editions of Sir WALTER SCOTT'S works, and his edi- tion of Dryden, to be published periodically, have also made their appearance, which deserve, in an eminent degree, the notice and patronage of the public. Several new novels have been ushered into the world, to which we shall next week pay due attention; but really the influx, or rather efflux, of literary novelty has been during the last few days so great, that it is quite impossible to qualify for a criticism upon half of it. We cannot, however, take leave of the subject without noticing the admirable number for the present month of the British Magazine, and acknowledging our obligations to the Editor of the East India Magazine for his insertion of the letter of the Bishop of CALCUTTA, which nothing but its length and our want of space would have pre- vented us from extracting from his pages. In the New Monthly Magazine for the present month, we find the following article:— " An actor, SLOMAN by name, has made a bet that he will perform in three different characters in the course of five hours, at three dif- ferent places, Maidstone, Rochester, and Canterbury— each part is to occupy forty minutes. The distance from Rochester to Maidstone is nine miles, and from Rochester to Canterbury twenty- seven. Now, considering that of the five hours allowed, two are to be ex- pended in acting, and that he has to perform thirty- six miles in the other three, we will readily go halves with Mr. SLOMAN'S opponent in the bet.; or, if he win it, we must beg he will never call himself Sloman again." In the Kentish Observer of Wednesday, we find that the thing is to be early attempted. It says :— " Mr. SLOMAN will execute his arduous undertaking this evening, of appearing in the same character at the Canterbury, Rochester, and Maidstone theatres. He commences here, in the piece called Intrigue, orthe Bath Road, in which he performs Tom, and sings the comic song of " When a man weds.'' Immediately after, he sets off for Rochester, where the same piece is played second ; and thence to Maidstone, where it is the last piece. He will have no time to make alls on the road. We suppose, unless he is actually on the Maid- stone stage before the clock strikes twelve, the conditions of the wager will not be considered as fulfilled. The head of Mr. ATTWOOR, which formed the sign of a public- house, at Harboume, near Birmingham, was stolen on Tuesday night last. We presume this circumstance is the origin of the fol- lowing whimsical squib in the advertising columns of the Birming- ham Advertiser:— " OH YES, OH YES !!— Whereas the HEAD OF THOS. ATTWOOD, Esq., Member of Parliament for the borough of Birmingham, was LOST at Ilarbourne, about eleven o'clock on Monday night last. NOTICE is, therefore, hereby GIVEN, that the thanks of the Political Union may be received by any person who will restore the same to its natural stock. As the above head is WOODEN, and has hitherto been found USELESS to any one but the owner, p, GREATER reward can- not be offered.— N. B. All persons are particularly requested to treat the above bead with tenderness, as it lias lately gone to DECAY, and is supposed to be very HOLLOW." The following paragraph has been " going the rounds," as they call it, of. the newspapers during the week:— " The Earl of MULGRAVE was accompanied from Jamaica by his only son, Viscount NORMANBY, a youth of fourteen. The Earl and his'family are staying at Fenton's Hotel until a suitable residence can be engaged for him." — Now, that Lord MULGRAVE should have been. accompanied by his son on his return from Jamaica, does not seem anything very extra- ordinary, as it was not at all probable that he would leave him behind; but as it does so happen that Viscount NORMANBY did nol go with his father to Jamaica, his return with him is something curious. We regret to hear, that since the return of the Earl and Countess, the young Viscount has been attacked by hooping cough. We find the following in a provincial paper. We do not recollect having seen it before. As the Worcester Journal, whence we extract it, givej no reference as to whence it derived it, we are not sure whether it appears in its columns as a novelty or a quotation:— " INTERESTING NARRATIVE.— A few months since, a plot for the murder of the King of the two SICILIES was set on foot, but fortu- nately not carried into effect. The leading conspirators ( persons whom the King had recalled from banishment) were providentially discovered in time, and three of them, all military officers, appre- hended: one put an end to his existence; but the other two ( by name Francesco Angelotti and Cessare Rosaroll) were imprisoned, tiied, and condemned to suffer death. The day of execution ( December 14) arrived; . the NeapoUtan troops in considerable number surrounded the scaffold; and the population of Naples crowded to the spot. The prisoners, surrounded by priests, were led to the fatal block ; the head of the elder culprit was placed upon it; the executioner stood ready todoliis. dreadful work,— when a King's Messenger, on horseback, dashed through the crowd, exclaiming. ' Grace, grace !— and holding out a free pardon. The released cul- prits seemed inetamorpho- ed into stone; but the spectators rent the air with, acclamations, dancing, throwing up their hats and caps, and almost running wild with admiration of their second Trajan, who, to complete his work of clemency, sent two medical men to stand close to the culprits at the moment when pardon was pro- nounced, lest tliey should have been so much overcome as to require instant medical assistance. The King of NAPLES placed himself on one of terraces of his Palace, which overlooks the spot where crimi- nals are executed, and watched, with a telescope, to see that his pardon arrived in time." There seems to be a schism even yet in the Clearence Club; the Provisional Committee have ousted several objectionable members, among the number, that Priest- Militant Dr. WADE, and the result has been the secession of Mr. THOMAS CAMPBELL, the Poet, and Mr. MACKINNON, who have addressed the following letter to the Committee. It should be recollected that CAMPBELL was the founder of the Association:— April 26, 1831. " Sir,— We, the undersigned, not approving of the proceedings of the Provisional Committee with respect to the exclusion of certain members, have to request that you will withdraw our names from the Clarence Club. Signed 5 " THOS. CAMPBELL, nignea A. MACKINNON. The Cambridge Chronicle gives the following from its Huntingdon correspondent:— " We are happy to be able to contradict the rumour that Mr. POLLOCK is pledged to support the General Registration Bill. We have seen a communication from our honourable member, wherein he states that he has not only presented petitions, but that he has spoken against the measure. We are glad to find that he is likely to be entrusted with one from his constituents, as a large majority of the borough partake in the feeling of dissatisfaction which prevails with respect to it; and we have no doubt that one will be sent from the county also. Let Parliament be content to give us what we want, and not force upon us that which we do not require, and do not ask. Both agriculture and trade need every support; and if tem- porary loans are required to give assistance to either interest, it can- not be good policy to prevent the facilities which at present exist for attaining them, to say nothing of far greater and more harassing inconveniences which must arise from having the title- deeds of every acre of ground, and every £ 10 tenement, in one depository in London Surely the scheme is too monstrous and inquisitorial to be supported through a House of the " People's Representatives:" afewjobbin; lawyers may laud it, for they are the only parties who could possibly derive any benefit from it, but all men of property must hold it in abhorrence." A Concert was given, as it is called, at the Opera House on Thurs day, for the benefit of the Poles, which was very badly attended, as might have been expected. Another party of these noble Patriots are about to get up a Ball, which they hope will be more attractive. This portion of the exiles will be distinguished from their brethren of the Concert, by the appellation of the Hop- Poles. The christening of the infant son of the Marquess and Mar- chioness of SALISBURY will be conducted on the most splendid scale. The Duke of WELLINGTON will be godfather. There has been a good deal of congratulation amongst the sub- ordinates at Whitehall, because the Derby Union has fallen to pieces. This is all illusory— in every other part of England they are increasing rapidly. The Brighton Gazette says— " The number of members belonging to the Trades' Unions in this town continues to increase ; from less than 500 they already, we understand, have increased to 975, and several hundreds more are said to be waiting the next arrival of delegates from London, in order to be initiated." The chimney- sweepers of the metropolis had a grand dinner at Highbury Barn on Thursday, which passed off in the most agree- able manner. Several professional gentlemen were engaged, who added much to the conviviality of the evening, and the banquet was in every point sootable to the occasion. Mr. GRANT and Mr. BELL, the Editor and Proprietor of the True Sun, have been sentenced to three months' imprisonment, to com- mence from the expiration of the confinement they are now suffering Their crime is having advised the PEOPLE to resist the Assessed Taxes. It is supposed that Lord FITZWILLIAM and Mr. WILLIAM BROUGHAM have expressed the same opinions in their speeches. It is probable that the repeal of the House Tax may be ejfeeferf before their release; but Lord ALTHORP has distinctly stated, that know- ing it to be Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY'S intention to move the repeal of the Window Tax after that of the House Tax is carried, he means to delay it so that lie shall not have time. We rather suspect that if Sir SAMUEL means to sit again for Marybone, he had better take the lead, and bring forward his Window Tax motion first. THOMAS STOTHARD, Esq., R. A., died on Sunday last, at his house, in Newman- street, Oxford- street, in the 79th year of his age. His MAJESTY has intimated his intention of giving 5001. towards the erection of a monument, to be placed in the Painted Hall, iu Greenwich Hospital, in memory of Sir RICHARD KEATS, the late Governor of that Institution. A free pardon, it is said, is to be granted to M'KAN, one of the individuals who was compelled to exile himself from these domi- nions in consequence of his participation in the Irish rebellion of1798. The lowest calculation makes the annual expense of the proposed Poor Law Board 30,0001. per annum, to be paid out of the Consoli- dated Fund. The other day, when the Members of the Chamber of Deputies who support the Government were leaving the House in order to rush to the Tuileries " to compliment the Citizen King" ( that is the phrase) on the " successful termination of the events at Paris and Lyons I" the Minister of Finance perceived M. BERRYER, the Royalist Deputy, seat in his usual place, and occupied in writing. " You do not follow us then, M. Berryer," said M. HUMSNN—" I perceiveyou are busy writing." '' Yes, Sir," replied this witty and sarcastic speaker, " I am writing to CHARLES the TENTH to inform him that his ordi- nances are executed!!!" By the latest accounts from Lower Canada we learn that Revolu- tion is making as rapid strides in that valuable branch of our colonial possessions as in any " liberal" country of Europe. The resolutions for the impeachment of Lord AYLMER were carried on the 19th of February, after an amendment had been moved, by a majority of fifty- two against nineteen, which proves the strength of the French faction in the House of Assembly. It seems not altogether improba- ble that, while the Committee of the House of Commons is delibera- ting on the mode of settling the misunderstanding between Lower Canada and the Mother Country, the revolutionary party in that Colony may throw off the yoke altogether. At the Paris Court of Assizes, last week, M. LIOKNE was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and a fine of twelve thousand francs for an article published in the Tribune against the Law of Asseciations. — Oh! for the King of the BARRICADES, and the Liberty of the Press ! Another engagement has taken place between a French cutter ancl some English fishing- boats, in consequence, as the French version has it, of the British vessels having encroached upon the oyster- beds of Cancale. The cutter had one of her masts broken, and kept up a fire from her swivels, which was responded to by discharges of mus- ketry. The English vessels ultimately took advantage of the wind being in their favour, and bore away, while the French cutter proceeded to Granville with one sloop which had been captured. The Messager adds that it doubts not but the French Government remonstrate with our Ministry on such violations of their coast, as the French marine respects the coast of England. This, as the Morning Post justly observes, is exceedingly cool on the part of our Gallic Contemporary, when it is well known that the advantages derived from the coast fisheries are in the true spirit of Whig recipro- city— all on one side. According to the Madrid Journals of the 19th ult., the Carlist insurgents in the north have become most formidable. Arragon is much agitated, and has its own Junta. Numerous bands are repre- sented to be scouring the two Castiles up to the Madrid gates, whilst others stationed on the mountains on the limits of Estremadura communicate with Portugal. The Madrid Gazette announces offici- ally the retirement of M. BURGOS from office. Don JOSE MARIA MOSCOSO de ALTAMERA, late Prefect in Vigo, is named as successor to the place of Minister of the Interior. The accounts from Holland state that trade at Rotterdam has increased to such an extent that new docks and warehouses are about to be built there. The Funds are rising, the finances flourish- ing, and trade in all its branches extending itself. It is said that the Prince of NASSAU has declared to the Ministers assembled at Biberich that he will not consent to the alienation of Luxemburgh.-— In the meantime every preparation is making to put the Belgian army into an effective state for service. A valuable appointment has just fallen to the gift of the Foreign Secretary, by the death ofWji. TAYLOR MONEY", Esq., Consul- Gene- ral for the Lombard States, residing at Venice. The salary exceeds 1,2001. per annum, with an allowance for a residence, < fec. A bill has just been issued, describing the order in which the per- formances are to proceed at the forthcoming Royal Musical Festival. The first is to be on Tuesday, the 24th of June, and to consist of the Oratorio of the " Creation," and selections from " Sampson." The second on Thursday, the 26th of June, selections from Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, & c.; the Oratorio of " Israel in Egypt." The third, on Saturday, the 2Sth of June, Oratorio of " Judas Mac- cabeus," and a miscellaneous selection. The fourth on Tuesday, the 1st of July, Oratorio of the " Messiah," by command of her MAJESTY. The rehearsals to take place on the 20th, 25th, 27th, and 30th of June.— We trust that no further cavilling will be made as to the place of performance. It is not only disrespectful to the KING, but injurious to the cause of charity. Calcutta papers have been received to the 1st of January. From the Price Current of the 23d and 31st of Dec. we leSrn that the Government had published the Orders of the Court of Directors, prohibiting further commercial operations on the part of the Com- pany, which leaves the field in India and China free to private enterprise. The great mercantile house of CRUTTENDEN hadstopped payment. MIRZA ABBAS, the Prince Royal of Persia, having on the demise of his father, left the province of Herat to proceed to Theran, the capital of Persia, to assume the reigns of government, the depar- ture of these forces was the signal for the revolt of IVAMERAN SHAN, the ruler of Herat, who immediately shook off the Persian yoke, and having gathered his forces attacked the retiring army, and captured two pieces of cannon with other booty, with which he safely returned to his seat of government. The greatest distress continued to exist in Cashmere. The effects of the insurrection at Lyons have been felt at a great distance in France. At Calais and Boulogne the net manufactories have suffered severely. The goods sent to Lyons have remained unsold, and the bills drawn in consequence have not been accepted. The manufacturers, overloaded with goods, have ceased to employ their men, excepting only one for each machine, as necessary for keeping it in order. , A Commissionership of Customs has become vacant by the death of W. T. ROE, Esq., brother, we believe, to the Chief Magistrate of Bow- street, and nephew to the late Mr. ADAIR, who bequeathed him alegacy of 10,0001. By a Treasury minute of the Duke of WELLING- TON'S Administration it was regulated that the Commissionerships of . Customsfand Excise should be each reduced, on the occurrence of vacancies, from 1,4001. to 1,2001. per annum. BUENOS AY- RES, JAN. 25.— Agood deal of curiosity has been excited here, in consequence of a secret sitting held by the House of Repre- sentatives, on Monday last, at the request of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It is stated that at this Sitting a detail was rendered ( received by the last packet from Falmouth) of a plan which is in agitation to provide Monarchs for the South American Republics ; that a confer- ence for this purpose had been lately held in Paris, at which the Ministers of the absolute Sovereigns, and various South American agents, including Senor BERNARDINO RIVADAVIA, assisted. Letters from Copenhagen say, that large purchases of corn have been made in Denmark by the Russian Government, and that 150 merchantmen freighted in Holland were expected to convey the corn to Russia. In spite of these large purchases, the price of corn • had not risen. The anniversary of the natal day of the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND was celebrated with great rejoicings, on Monday, on his estates in the North. A public dinner took place at the Town H all of Alnwick, and also firing of cannon, bonfires, & c. The Noble Duke completed his 49th year. We regret to learn that intelligence has been received of the death of the enterprising African traveller, RICHARD LANDER. He was fired upon and severely wounded by the natives on the Nunn river, where he had gone for the purpose of trade, early in the month of January, and he died at Fernando Po on the 6th of February. Another victim, has been sacrificed to this most absurd system of exploration. If it be really an object, let Government fit out an expedition adequate to its achievement; but the sending out individuals, who have no power of protecting themselves, and no character to enforce respect, is little better than the commission of manslaughter. In compliance with the wish of a Deputation of Gentlemen from the subscribers and supporters of that excellent institution the Eastern Dispensary, in Great Alie- street, Goodman's- fields, among May 4. JOHN BULL. 143 • whom wa. s Mr. BALLAN TINE, the Thames Police Magistrate, his • Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON has kindly consented to become the patron of the institution, and has given a donation of 100 guineas to • the charity. His Grace's bounty has not ended here, for he has, in the most condescending manner, consented to take the chair at the " approaching anniversary dinner of the institution. A Ball will take place at WILLIS'S Rooms on Tuesday, June 3, for the benefit of the Adult Orphan Institution, Regent's Park, under the patronage of her MAJESTY, her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA, and other persons of distinction. A short time ago it was discovered that the teas were frequently mixed by the Chinese with iron dust, or an earthy detritus strongly impregnated with iron, which made the article weigh heavier, but, of course, was no improvement to the contents of the tea- pot. The test contrived for the detection of this has been a powerful magnet, Which being stirred about among the leaves came out incnisted with the detritus in questios. There are two candidates in the field for Wells in the room of the late Captain N. LAMONT, namely, Mr. R. COLBORNE, who was an unsuccessful candidate at the last election, and Mr. MARTIN, author of The History of the British Colonies- Why does not Sir ED WA RD SUGDEN offer himself- We believe there are some of the Wells worthies who are or were inclined to invite poor Sir JOHN CAMPBELL, the Attorney- General. He would not do— and as things stand at present, Mr. RIDLEY COLBORNE is the man. Viscount MELBOURNE has communicated to the High Bailiff of Birmingham, that it is not the intention of Government to proceed at present with - the Municipal Corj> oration Bill, which was intro- duced into Parliament towards the'dose of last Session by the LORD CHANCELLOR. One of the objects proposed in this Bill, was to give a Mayor and Corporation to Birmingham, in lieu of the present manorial authorities. Ministers have withdrawn the Dissenters' Marriage Bill, and it is understood that a measure more satisfactory to the Dissenters is. to. be introduced by Mr. BROUGHAM. Whether Ministers will support it, remains to be seen. PROCLAMATION OF DON CARLOS, • Printed at Villa Real, March 7, 1834. " Castilians !— The province, in its impenetrable justice has ap- pointed me to put round my head the diadem of Phillip V., under circumstances the most difficult to which our enemies have reduced the monarchy. Duly penetrated with a sense of my awful duty, and without any ambition, which always is to be deplored, and of which I have known nothing during the whole course of my life, as soon as the orphanage of my kingdom took place by the death of my beloved brother, without a successor in the male line, I resolved upon every measure that I might be permitted to adopt, under the circumstances 1 was placed in, to preserve the precious blessing of . peace, and the happiness of the succession of my ancestors. To their disgrace some of the sons of Spain paralised my first offers of reconciliation and satisfaction ; but such affection disappeared before the heroic foices of my people, to whom Castella a Velha was a source of no small share of glory. " Castilians ! brave in arms f inhabitants of a land classical for its valour and loyalty, and for its having been the precipice where dark passions were in all ages cast down ; believe me, as descended from the Cid, and be satisfied that my ambition is to secure to you happy days, so that I shall deserve the blessings of all, healing all wounds, which have not pressed more strongly on the sufferers than on my pious and sensitive heart.

CITY OF LONDON NATIONAL SCHOOLS.— The anniversary of this excellent Institution was celebrated on Tuesday. The children were examined at the Mansion House, as usual, before the LORD MAYOR and a large and highly respectable assembly, notwithstanding the state of the weather- The utility of these schools to the poor, was strikingly illustrated by their knowledge of the Scriptures, and of their duties as Christians displayed in the answers of the children.— An unusually large meeting of the friends of the Charity afterwards dined at the City of London Tavern, at which the LORD MAYOR presided. SOCIETY FOT PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE.— Friday a numerous Meeting of the Members of the above Society was holden at the Society's house in Lincoln's Inn- fields, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of appointing a Select Com- mittee to examine all tracts and books issued by the Society pre- viously to their publication. — After some able speeches the following Resolution was moved and carried—" That a Tract Com- mittee be formed, consisting of seven persons, to whom all tracts and intended publications should be referred for their judgment and opinion, and that his Grace the President have five Bishops to form a Committee of reference on such parts of difficulty or doubt arising to the Committee of seven, wbos • power of recommending books, to be hallotted for at the Board, should be limited to such as are not objected to by the Episcopal referees; and that no works should be struck out of the Society's list until assented toby the same referees."

CAM « « DGE, May 2.— On the 2Sd ult. E. Warter, W. D. La. ws. on, and W. Foater, Bachelors of Arts, ojf Magdalen College, were elected fallows of - that society. At ft wngregaiioa m Wedoesday last the following degrees were WARD END CHAPEL.— WE have great pleasurein announcing that . e re- building and enlarging of this ancient Chapel has been com- menced, notwithstanding the subscriptions obtained are inadequate to the completion of the work. There is yet a deficiency of about two hundred pounds, which, it is confidently hoped, the friends of the established religion of the country will supply ; and with a view of raising part of the money, the Ministers of the Church and Chapels in the parish have been " solicited to permit sermons to be preached and collections made in aid of the lauiiable undertaking— the first of which will be at Holy Trinity Chapel, Bordesley, on Sunday morning, the Ilth of May, when that sound and eloquent divine, the Rev. WALTER FARQUHAR HOOK, A. M., Vicafwf the Holy Trinity, Coventry, Prebendary of Lincoln, and Chaplain in Ordinary to his MAJESTY, has kindly promised his powerful aid on the occasion, and we are convinced the appeal will not be mad? in vain. We shall be enabled to give more particulars in our next publication.— Birming- ham Paper. ST. PAUL'S SCHOOL.— The Apposition of this very ancient and very excellent school took place on Wednesday.. This scholastic festival is celebrated by a number of recitations of original composition or select extracts " from the ancient classics. It is generally attended by the parents and friends of the allumni of the Institution, and by such illustrious persons as countenance it. This year the Dukes of Cumberland and Gloucester, the Bishops of Chichester and Derry, and the Duke of Wellington, were present at it. The original com- positions recited appetired to be of very considerable merit, and a great number of youths distinguished themselves by a promising manner of recitation on this occasion. The Royal Dukes and the Duke of WELLINGTON were greatly cheered on entering and depart- ing from this seat of yoiithfulleammg. The annual sermon of the Mailing District Society, in aid of the funds of the Societies for Promoting Christian Knowledge and Pro- pagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts, was preached at Teston Church on Tuesday, the 22d ult. by the Hon. and Rev. F. J. STAPLE TON, Rector of Mereworth. The congregation was numerous and respectable, and the collection amounted to 201. 8s. A meeting of the Clergy and Laity was held on Tuesday last, at Bristol, to petition the KING, Lords, and Commons, against the ad- mission of Dissenters into the Universities. Six resolutions, pro- posed by clergymen and seconded by laymen, were carried without a dissentient voice. An elegant silver tea- kettle and stand, beautifully embossed with emblematic devices, have been presented to the Kev. F. GAUNTLETT, late Minister of St. John's Chapel, Bognor, on his quitting that place. We have the satisfaction of stating, that the grant of 5001. from the Incorporated Society for promoting the Building and Enlargement of Churches and Chapels, was transmitted to the Vicar last week, in aid of the fund for All Souls.— Brighton Gaz. At a meeting at Chard, in July last, for the purpose of raising a Church- rate, a resolution was carried by a large majority, that the consideration of the rate should be adjourned till that day twelve- month- On Friday, the 18th ult., however, a meeting was again called for the purpose; when after a fierce opposition from several persons ( among whom were two Dissenting Ministers), the rate was carried by a majority of 88 to 76 votes.— On. the same day, a vestry meeting was held in Bridgwater Church for a similar purpose ; when after an attempt to postpone the question for six months, the rate was granted by a majority of three to one. The Huddersfield Declaration of lay members of the Church of England, expressing their attachment to the same, has been for- warded to the Archbishop of CANTERBURY. It contains about 1,500 names, with designation and residences ; none have signed below the age of 21. A similar declaration, with about 700 nanu s, was at the same time forwarded from Holmfirth. We are happy to be enabled to inform our readers, that the Books containing the signatures to the Declaration of the Laity of the Church of England, for this county, were returned this week to the Central Committee in London, and that the number of signatures returned from Gloucester amounted to nearly 10,000, to which were added, the residences and address of all who signed.— Glouces. Chron. The Lay Declaration from the south of Devon in favour of the Church, has been made up and returned to Mr. A. ABBOTT, of this city, who has been most actively engaged in obtaining and forwarding the various Returns. As we predicted it would be, the Declaration has been most numerously and respectably signed throughout this division.— Western Luminary. The new Catholic Chapel, denominated " Mount Carmel Church, recently erected near Redditch, was opened and consecrated for divine service on Friday se nnight. The ceremony attracted much attention, and drew to Redditch a vast number of the Catholic faith from the surrounding country, among whom were Sir CHARLES THROCKMORTON, Bart., Sir EDWARD SMITH, Bart., < fcc. & c. SALE OF BIBLES IN BRITAIN.— The number of Bibles sold annu ally in Scotland is rather above 60,000, viz., about 36,000 at 2s. wholesale ; 25,500 at Is. lOd.; and from 3,000 to 5,000 at 6s. 6d. The number printed annually in England by the King's printers and the two Universities is about 240,000, making in all about 300,000, ex- clusive of about as many Testaments, and a large number of Prayer- books, Psalms, cfec. The sum of 201, 8s. 7d. has been remitted by the Rev. W. M. LA WSON to the Treasurer of the " Society for promoting the Enlarge- ment < fec. of Churches and Chapels," being the amount collected after a sermon preached in Moseley Chapel oil Sunday, the 13th ult. — Birmingham Advertiser. » HUDDERSFIELD PARISH CHURCH.— It has been determined that this ancient edifice shall be closed as to divine service on Sunday- next, when collections will be made in aid of the funds for rebuilding the Church. It affords us no small gratification to state that the voluntary subscriptions in aid of this undertaking already exceed 20001., and that many of the subscribers have agreed to double their subscriptions, affording ample proof, notwithstanding all that may have been said to the contrary, of the; existence of a very ardent and warm attachment towards the Establishment. The Church is to be built in the perpendicular Gothic style, with crypt and buttresses, pur- suant to designs by Mr. J. P, Pritchett, York. The present edifice was consecrated in 150S, and was erected on the site of a former Church, of the standing of which records carry us so far back as the year J316,— Leeds Intelligencer^ Just published, in one large 8vo. volume, price 11.

SPAIN.— The following is the official account of the victory of the Carlist Chief Zumalacarreguy over General Qnesada:— ARMY or KING DON CARLOS IN NAVARRE.— Bulletin of April 24.— General Don Tomas Zumalacarreguy, Commandant General of Na- varre and Guipnscoa, destrov& d, on the evening of the 22d April, the column of the proud Quesfma, headed by that rebel, forced him to a shameful retreat, making him leave on the field of battle upwards of $ 00 killed of divers ranks, and taking 10- 2 prisoners, among whom • were the Captain Colonel Don Leopold O'Donnell and several offi- cers, who were immediately shot, in just reprisal of the conduct of the said O'Donnell towards" our prisoners, three officers of the Royal Guard, one officer of the Carbineer, and 14 privates. The booty • which has fallen into the possession of the armies of the King our Lord is very considerable. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.— Sir J. Scarlett applied yesterday, at the rising of the Court, for a rule to shew cause why a criminal in- formation should not be filed against Mr. Hogg, the Corporation Commissioner, for using insulting language to the Mayor and Cor- poration of Colchester, with a view to degrade them in the eyes of the inhabitants of the borough. Our readers will recollect that in the John Bull, April 20th, there was an account of the Learned Commissioner's abusive remarks. The Court refused the rule, but left the Corporation to their remedy by indictment. By the Irish Papers which arrived yesterday, we perceive that three more lives have been lost in the county of Limerick, in a fray- between the police and the military, and the peasantry, owing to the non- payment of tithes. ADVANTAGE OF GOIXG TO LAW. — The Court of Chancery was occupied on Thursday and Friday with the case of" Price v.

BURGESS'S ESSENCE OH" ANCHOVIES. 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 Son submit the following Cau- tions : some are in appearance at first sight " The Genuine," but without any name or address— some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies"— others " Burgess," and mam* more without address. JOHN BURGESS and SON having been many years honoured with such dis- tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect toward the Public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they con- ceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments. BURGESS'S NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such great satis- faction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recommended as a most useful and convenient Sauce— will keep good in all climates.

THE MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY, instituted for Assurances on Lives and Survivorship?.— Temporary Office, No. 79, Cheapside. DIRECTORS. James Burchell, Esq. Solomon Cohen, Esq. Thomas Dax, Esq.

AUDITORS William Meredith Browne, I John Cole, Esq. Esq. | William Pritchard, Esq. BANKERS— The Bank of Enszland. SOLICITOR— William Purchell, Esq. PHYSICIAN— Algernon Frampton, jun., M. D SURGEON— Matthias Rowe, Esq. This Society is formed on the principle of Mutual Assurance, and all persons to become Members, must assure either for the term of their own lives, or for the lives of other persons. There not being a body of proprietors to be paid, all the Members equally divide the entire profits among themselves in proportion to the amount of their respective Assurances. To each Policy as it becomes a claim, is added its full proportionate share of the then accumulated profits, instead of making periodical additions to the sums assured, or granting bonuses to the Members during their lives, as done by other offices. This Society thus accomplishes a very great improvement in the System of Life Insurance. The mode adopted by this Society of avoiding fixed periodical divisions, which operate to the benefit of some Members, but necessarily to the prejudice of others, gives as well in that respect as by its system of division, a full and fair share of the profits to each policy, and offers equal advantages to new and old Members. A sufficient number of Members are already associated, so as amply to secure the above benefits, but it is evident that those advantages must accrue in propor- tion to the increase of the number of Members of the Society, and that the earliest insurers will participate in accumulations that have been the longest in forming. The management of this Society is entrusted to a Board of Directors chosen from, and by the Members at large. Insurances may he effected on joint or single lives, either for the whole term of life, or limited periods. Tables of premiums for the use of this Society have been calculated from the latest and best authenticated data, and being arranged for half- yearly intervals, they present a great advantage to any person who may have recently passed a birth- day; for example:— Age. Premium per Cent, per Annum for the whole duration. Age. Premium perCent. per Annum for the whole duration. d.

The Board of Directors meet every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, at the Society's Office, where attendance is given daily from Ten till Four for the general transaction of business, and where every information respecting the Society may be obtained. J. W. HUMPHRY, Actuary. N. B. The payment of Premiums may be made either yearly, or half- yearly, at the option of the Assurers. THE ONLY' REMAINING LOTTERY.
