FOR the FACE and SKIN.— ROWLAND'S KALYDOR affords immediate relief in cases of sunburns, tan, harsh and rough skin, and un- pleasant heat of the face; also in stings of insects; it immediately allays the most violent inflammation, and renders the skin cool and pleasant; it completely eradicates tan, freckles, pimples, spots, redness, and all cutaneous eruptions; gra- dually realizes a delicately clear soft skin, transforms even the most sallow com- plexion into radiant whiteness, imparting to it a beautiful juvenile bloom. Gen- tlemen, after shaving, will find it allay the irritating and smarting pain, and render the skin smooth and pleasant.

ATKINSON respect- x3T full recommend to Gentlemen who use this, by far the best of all Shaving Soaps, to compare the article imported by them with what is generally sold under the same name. It is from the first Manufacturer in the Kingdom of Naples, made expressly fjr their Establishment, of the best materials, regardless of expense, and well matured by age. They beg particularly to solicit attention to a Stock now on sale, which is upwards of 20 years old, and of a quality rarely to be met with.— N. B. Shaving Brushes, prepared from the best Badger Hair, and warranted, in great variety.— EAU DE COLOGNE, from Jean Marie Farina, Place Juliers, ii Cologne.— 24, Old Bond- street, May 1. TO the especial Notice of the Ladies.— C. and A. OLDRIDGE'S BALM of COLUMBIA.— The peculiar virtues of this preparation com- pletely remove the difficulty experienced by La- lies in preserving their ringlets after exercise; its use so invigorates the hair, that tresses, previously the straight- est and most destitute of curl, rapidly acquire a vigour, which maintains in per • manent ringlets the head- dress of the most persevering votary of the Ball- Room, the Ride, or the Promenade. After the Minerals and Vegetables of the Old World have been compounded in all imaginable ways in fruitless attempts to discover so important a desideratum, we are indebted to the Western Hemisphere for fur- nishing the basis of OLDRIDGE'S BALM of COLUMBIA, the efficacy of which in preserving, strengthening, and renewing the Hair, has become a matter of notoriety among all civilized nations. Its restorative virtues are indeed a pro- verb, and the most satisfactory attestations to its infallibility in reproducing hair upon persons otherwise hopelessly bald, may be examined at the Office of the Proprietors, No. 1, Wellington- street, Strand, London, where the Balm is sold. Price 3s. 6d., 6s., and lis. per bottle. N. B.— The Public are requested to be on their guard against Counterfeits. Ask for OLDRIDGE'S BALM, 1, Wellington street, Strand, London. ACOOLING SUMMER APERIENT.— BUTLER'S COOL- ING APERIENT POWDERS produce an extremely refreshing Effer- vescing Draught, which is at the same time a mild and cooling aperient, pecu- liarly adapted to promote the healthy action of the Stomach and Bowels, and thereby prevent the recurrence of constipation and indigestion, with all their train of consequences, as Flatulence, Acidity or Heartburn, Headache, Febrile Symp- toms, Nervous Depression, Eruptions on'the skin, & c. & c.; and their frequent use will generally obviate the necessity of having recourse to Calomel, Epsom Salts, attd other Medicines which tend to debilitate the pystem. When taken after too much Wine the usual disagreeable effects are in a great degree prevented.— Pre- pared and Sold in 2s. 9d. boxes, and 20s. cases, by Thomas Butler, Chemist, 4, Cheapside, corner of St Paul's, London ; and ( authenticated by the Preparer's name and address in the labels and stamps) maybe obtained of Sanger, 150, Oxford street; at the Medical Hall, 54, Lower Sackville- street, Dublin ; of W.

" TALES OF THE RAMAD'HAN." By J. A. ST. JOHN, ESQ.—" The resemblanc- e of these tales to the ' Arabian Nights,'" says the Literary Gazette, " is obvious ; and they preserve in a commendable degree, and in good keeping throughout, the spirit and genius of the originals - which they imitate. Occasional touches of satire do not detract from this effect, and itis not in the use of Eastern exclamations and terms, but, essentially, that Mr. St. John has succeeded in the task proposed to himself— a task rendered difficult and dangerous by the ready suggestion of a supreme standard of composition." A SUMMER RAMBLE IN SYRIA, WITH A TARTAR TRIP FROM Aleppo TO STAMBOUL. By the Rev. VERE MONRO.—" We like this book, for its accumulation of facts, and its unaffected views of the habits, costume, and countries that fell within the range of the author's expedition. Mr. Monro soon kindles into eloquence, and " when his subiect is one that makes it worth his while to throw his soul in it, he becomes elevated, profound, and picturesque. His work is full of information, and is not only a valuable addition to the library for reference, but one of the pleasantest books of the season."— Atlas. - The new novel by Mrs. Trollope, called Tremordyn Cliff-, will very shortly be published. The scene of the story shifts from Corn- • wall to London, nnd society in both places is understood to be sharply ridiculed, whether connected with the scandal, the old maidism, the ambitious but clumsy dinner- parties, and the preposterous affecta- tion of costume which so often characterises the would- be genteel in a country town ; or with the gaudy dissipations, the exclusive airs, the manoeuvring match- making, and the intense flirtations of the high- bred in the circles of the metropolis. FIRES ABOUT LONDON.— Mr. Braidwood, the directing superin- tendent of all the London co- operating fire stations, says that never since the first organisation of the present plan in January, 1833, has there occurred within the same limited number of days anything like a parallel to the number of distinct fires that have within the last few days been everywhere blading forth. On a careful review made on Thursday of the returns obtained from the twelve metropolitan stations and to the head office since the 31 st of July, a period of only twenty days, they exhibit an astounding list, after omitting mere fires in chimneys, and such minor accidents, of no less than 108 distinct houses, or warehouses, in London or its immediate environs, that have been on fire in the full sense of the word, within this brief period. Of these, no less than 39 were destroyed, 26 greatly damaged, many of these requiring large outlay before they can be made again habita- ble, and 43 that have been slightly damaged. The value of the property sacrificed must be immense, perhaps a quarter of a million sterling would be a moderate estimate.— Besides these, there have been in the same limited period three great agricultural fires near London; one at Mr. Bacon's farm, near Tottenham, where four stacks of- hay, and one of beans, were greatly damaged; another at Mr. Emmett's, in the Kent- road, where two barns, a range of stabling, and four stacks of hay, were destroyed ; and lastly at Beckley farm, near Bromley, where 30 corn stacks, seven hay stacks, a house, granary, ranges of cattle sheds, and extensive stabling, were all consumed by tire, and unhappily under circumstancs that lead to the presumption the act was wilful, and had its rise in the party feuds and deep enmity engendered in the breasts of many English labourers, whose harvest hopes have been blighted by the arrival of gangs of Irish labourers. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.— On Tuesday afternoon a fire broke out at Warboys, Huntingdonshire, which proved very destructive in its consequences. It commenced in a clover stack, which had excited some alarm in consequence of its over- heating, and on the previous day Mr. Gifford, the proprietor, had it turned over and well wetted. A man was also set to watch it during the night. These measures of precaution were, however, ineffectual, and theclover being lighter than before, the flames burst throughit with greatfury, and, commu- nicating with a hay- stack adjoining, and the barns, outbuildings, and the dwelling- house, carried destruction before them with frightful rapidity ; and they were not subdued until thirty- one dwelling- houses and cottages, besides outbuildings and farm property, had been ut- terly destroyed. The ravages of the fire extended nearly a quarter of mile from where it broke out. The Pelican Inn was with great dif- fictilf ypreserved from the flames, which approached so near as to de- stroy all the barns and stabling belonging to it. About midway of - the principal line in which the destruction proceeded the fire crossed the road, and communicated with the house of Air. Ekin, a collar- maker, and 14 more houses fell a prey to the flames. The fire con- tinued to burn with the most alarming and destructive effects until after dark in the evening; and a large number of poor labouring people have been rendered houseless, and have lost all their property. The Rev. Mr. Finch was very active during the whole of the day, and after the flames had subsided exerted himself in obtaining temporary residences and relief for such as had been entirely burnt out. On Tuesday morning, about eight o'clock, as Miss Amelia Hod- son, a young lady residing at No. 18, Stockbridge- terrace, Pimlico, was walking, accompanied by a dog, by the side of the Grosvenor- canal, whilst in the act of washing the dog, a cord by which it was led became entangled with her lees, and she was drawn into the water and drowned. Prompt assistance was rendered by a gentleman who happened to be passing, and by police constable Sutton, who succeeded in getting fhe body out in a few minutes. Every means were used by Mr. Davis, surgeon, of Belgrave- place, to restore animation, but without effect. An inquest has been held upon the body and a verdict of " accidental death" returned. On Saturday, immediately after a dinner given by the Count de Sussy during their lives. Upon a division the first amendment was carried by a majority of 126 to 39. The second was then agreed to without a division. The clauses up to the 33d were agreed to, and, the House having resumed, their Lordships adjourned. TUESDAY. The Scofch Exchequer Bill, the Irish Municipal Reform Bill, and the Scotch Bail Bill, were brought up from the Commons and severally read a first time.— The Tea Duties Bill was read a third time and passed.— The Bill for substituting, in certain cases, a form of decla- ration for an oath, was read a second time, on the motion of the Duke of RichMONd. InCommittee on the Municipal Corporations Bill Lord LYNDHuRST said that he had some amendments to propose which were conse- quential on the amendments the House adopted the night before; they had reference to the 96th clause, which empowered the council to recommend persons to the Crown for the office of Justices. By the Bill all persons holding the office of Magistrate at present were to continue in office until the 1st of May 1836; but if new Magistrates were to be created he could not see why the old Magis- trates were not to be continued. He should therefore propose to strike out. the words which limited their duration of office to the 1st of May, 1836.— Visconnt. MELBOURNE said that he did not mean to offer any strong opposition to the course which the Noble and Learned Lord was pursuing, in the present state of fhe House; but when it should be seen in what state their Lord, ships had left the Bill it would be matter for the most serious considera tion of the Govern- ment whether they should proceed with it any further in its mutilated state. The amendment was agreed to.— Oil clause 36 being read, which provides for the division of boroughs into wards by Commis- sioners appointed by the Crown, Lord ELLENBOROUGH moved that this clause be omitted altogether, for the purpose of substituting the amendment he should propose, to the effect that the division into wards be effected by the county Magistrates. After some discussion the amendment was agreed to " without a division.— The clauses from 42 to 52 were read summarilv, and after a conversation across the table they were postponed. The succeeding clauses of the Bill were postponed until the CHAIRMAN arrived at clause 65, which affects the licensing of public- houses.— Lord WHARNCLIFFE thought that the period of the session, the Noble Lord deemed that it would be the best course not to proceed with the Bill any further during this session. After some discussion Mr. HUME consented to withdraw the Bill until next session. TUESDAY. The Public Institutions Bill, after some discussion, and a division on one of ihe clauses, was withdrawn by Mr. BUCKINGHAM. The same Hon. Member withdrew, for the present session, the Public Walks Bill.— The Prisons Regulations Bill was read a third time and passed.— The Constabulary Force ( Ireland) Bill passed through a Committee, in which several of the clauses met with considerable opposition, but they were all carried without a division. Mr. W. PATTEN reported from the Select Committee on Orange Institutions in Great Britain and the Colonies that Lieutenant- Colonel Fairman, who was represented to this Committee as Deputy Grand Master and Secretary to the Orange Lodges of Great Britain, having been called upon to prqduce a letter- book stated to be in his possession, and which he admitted contained copies of letters, en- tered by himself and agents, having reference to the proceedings of such Orange Institutions, had refused to comply with such requi- sition. The Report having been brought up it was ordered to be printed, and it was further ordered ihat Lieutenant- Colonel Fairmaii should attend at the bar of the House to- morrow. The Letters Patent Bill passed through Committee, and the Report was brought up. WEDNESDAY. The House met at twelve o'clock, and was engaged till half- past two with petitions. On the resumption of the House at five o'clock, Mr. HUME moved that Lieutenant- Colonel Fairman, the Deputy Grand Secre- tary to the Grand Orange Lodge of England, be called to the bar, he having refused to produce the letter- book of the lodge. Mr. H. read the evidence, and adverted to letters adduced, showing the ground for calling the witness to the bar.— Lieut.- Colonel Fairman was called. He said that he had offered to make selections from the-' copies of correspondence in his possession; but the book he did not produce even to the Committee of the Grand Lodge, and should not if they asked for it. He now refused to produce the book contain- ing correspondence on the subject of Orange Lodges; and he did so on public grounds. He would not produce copies of all the letters | regarding Orange Lodges, because he would not act under the in- fluence of threat, be the consequences what they might,— Colonel' PERCEVAL moved that, the short- hand writer should be instructed to read over to Colonel Fuirman the questions and answers put to him and made by him before the Committee and in the House.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER resisted this proposition, as tending to establish a dangerous precedent.— After a long conversation, Colonel PERCEVAL said he should protest against compelling the witness to produce his private letter- book, as the exertion of a despotic power.— Lord J. RUSSELL observed that the witness seemed to labour under the impression that the effort was to get at his private letter- book.— The House divided on Colonel Perceval's proposition. The numbers were— ayes 19, noes 129; majority against it HO.— Lieutenant- Colonel Fairman was again examined. Duchess d'Otrante were in ail alarming immediately called in, and administered relief. All are out of dan- ger, bat several, and more particularly the Dnchess d'Otrante, are « till suffering. On analysing the matter thrown from the stomachs, in the laboratory at the Mint, Dr. Wolowski clearlv discovered traces of arsenic. The cause of this event, which might have been so tra- gical, is not known, but there is every reason to believe that it was wilful and malicious. An inquest was held on Monday the 10th inst. at. Holme, near Stilton, by Mr. Atkinson, coroner for thebundred of Norman Cross, on view of the body of a boy named Robert Hill. It appeared the deceased, » v, d another boy named Clarice, were employed in scaring birds, but afterwards took to shooting fish in tke dikes, having their guns loaded with powder and shot, when Clarke's gun accidentally went off,, and shot the deceased in the leftside: he fell and died in- stantly— Verdict, Accidental death. exclusion of Ihe clause. A fter a brief discussion the amendment was agreed to without a division.— On clause 67 Lord LYNDHURST pro- posed to let the 1st section of the clause pass, and to change the words 1st of January, 1836, in the second, to the ] st of August. 1836. The amendment was agreed to.— Clauses 68 to 72 were struck out of the Bill.— Clauses 73 to 76 were ordered to stand part of the Bill; the latter with a proviso added thereto, on the motion of Lord ELLEN- BOROUGH, to the effect, that, in reference to the rights of the Univer- sities of Oxford and Cambridge, no majority of the iocal trustees could have power to transfer any right appertaining to these bodies without the consent, of the Chancellors, Vice- Chancellors, and Mas- ters of the several Colleges.— Several amendments of minor import- ance having been agreed to, the House resumed, and the Bill as amended was ordered to be printed. WEDNESDAY. After the presentation of many petitions, several Bills were forwarded a stage, and others passed. The West India Slavery Com- pensation Bill was read a third time, aud passed. The Duke of CUMBERLAND, on presenting a petition from Trinity College, Dublin, for the support of the Church, and against the Irish Church Bill, took the opportunity to contradict statements that had been made of his having countenanced the establishment of Orange Lodges in that University; he had done no such thing-. He added that he had not counf enanced their establishment in any place where it was deemed that they could be prejudicial, nor on any occa- sion where he had not been applied to. As to the charges preferred against him ontof doors, he cared nothing about them. The Peace Preservation ( Ireland) Bill went through a Committee. A long conversation took place concerning the new House of Lords, during which it was understood that their Lordships generally ex- pressed their intention not to accept of the vote of 5,0001. offered by the House of Commons to supply them with amore convenient temporary House. The Militia Staff Reduction Bill, after some observations from the Duke of WELLINGTON, passed through Committee, after which their Lordships adjourned. THURSDAY. Several Bills were brought from the Commons, presented, read a first time, and ordered to be printed ; other Bills were forwarded a stage.— The Polls at Elections Bill called forth some desultory dis- cussion ; but it was eventually read a third time and passed. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presented, among others, a petition signed by three Archbishops and twelve Bishops of the Irish Church, against the measure introduced by his Majesty's Govern- ment with regard to that Establishment.— Lord MELBOURNE then rose, to move the second reading of the_ Irish Church Bill, and, having announced to the House his Majesty's readiness to lay at their disposal his interest, in the benefices of the Irish Church, applied himself almost entirely to the question of tithes, confessing in the course of his speech " that he was perfectly aware that this Bill might at first be a discouragement to the Protestant religion in Ireland," and acknowledging his " regret that he found himself uude'r the necessity of proposing such a measure."— Lord FITZ- GERALD said that it was not the intention of Noble Lords on the Opposition side of the House to offer any objection to the second reading of the Bill then before their Lordships; but declared their intention of moving for the separation of the objectionable and un- objectionable parts of the Bill, two parts, after all that had been said, as distinct as right was distinct from wrong. The justice and propriety of this course had been perfectly settled by the unanswered, aud unanswered because unanswerable, speech of a Right Hon. Baronet in another place. A discussion ensued, in which the Earl of RIPON, the Bishop of EXETER, Earl WINCHILSEA, and Lord GLENELG. took part. The Bill was then * ead a second time without anv division. The Bishop of EXETER gave notice that in the Committee he should move the omission of sundry clauses— namely, those carrying info effect the principle of" appropriation." FRIDAY. The Roval Assent was given by Commission to the followine Rills :— The Tea Duties Bill, the Bankrupts'Estates Bill, the Sheriffs'Oaths Bill, the Chancery Officers Bill, the Certiorari Bill, the Lunatics and Infants' Estates Bill, the Loan Societies Bill, the Foreign Post Bill, the Irish Roads Bill, the Irish Assizes Bill, the Linen Manufacture Reeulafion Bill, the Enlistment of Seamen Bill, the Chancery Registry Bill, and the Small Debts Bill, together with several Private Bills.— The Tonnage Admeasurement Bill, and the Weights and Measures Bill, were read a second time— to be committed on Monday; and the Illegal Securities Bill to be committed on Tuesday.— The Militia Staff Reduction Bill was read a third time, and passed.— Mr. BERNAL brought up Bills from the Com- mons, which were severally read a first time.— In the course of the sitting various petitions were presented on the subjects of the Isling- i ton Market Bill, the Municipal Reform Bill, and the Irish Church Bill.— Their Lordships adjourned to Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY Lord JOHN RUSSELL obtained leave to bring in a Bill to make one of the prebends of the Colleriate Chnrrh of St. Peter's, Westminster, subservient to the spiritual wants of the parish of St. Margaret, Westminster.— The Municipal Corporations ( Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. On the further consideration of the Report of the qualification for Members Bill, Mr. HUME observed that no distinction ought to exist between Scotch, Knglish, and Irish Members.— Lord JOHN RUSSELL quite agreed that these qualifications as oilen produced mwchief as good. Looking at the state of the Howe, anil the Seijeant- at- Arras, with the view of next moving that the Serjeant and officers of the House go with the witness to his residence, and there seize all books and papers, seal them, and bring them to the House, there to be examined by a Select Committee, to separate those that, bore upon the question of Orange Lodges, and to forward them to the Committee thereon.— Colonel Fairman being further examined, said that the book was in his possession at his residence, but he would not say where there.— Mr. SHAW hoped the House would pause before it sanctioned the propositions now making— sanctioning an indiscriminate seizure of private papers. It could only be to satisfy prurient curiosity, or to be revenged on the witness. — Mr. ORD com plained of this language, coming as it did from a Judge. How would he like to be charged with being actuated by revenge ?— Mr. SHAW said if the seizing ofprivatepapers was attempted, he should, till the Speaker told him he was wrong, persist in calling it an act of tyranny.— After an extended and animated, and not always a very mild discussion, it was eventually determined that Lieut.- Colonel Fairman should be called in and informed that it was the opinion of the House that, he was bound to produce the hook. The Colonel again refused, and was thereupon ordered to withdraw. THURSDAY. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 1' 2 o'clock.— Mr. WALTER again brought forward the subject of thegrant to theThames Tunnel Com- pany, proposing that there should be a Select Committee to inquire into' the circumstances attending the bringingin of fhe Bill to amend the Thames Tunnel Acts, and the advance of 30,0001. to the Com- pany " with a. view to prevent the advance of public money, without full and adequate security for the repayment of the same."— Mr. BARING, Mr. HAWES, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER oppo- sed the motion, contending that the proceeding was unprecedented, and that there were no grounds for the Committee. The motion was not pressed. The Glass Duties Bill went through a Committee; the Spirit Licenses and Wine Permits Bill was reported, and several other Bills were forwarded a stage. Mr. HUME brought up a Report from the Committee on Orange Lodges, stating that Colonel Fairman persisted in his intention of not giving up the book, notwithstanding the order of the House on the previous evening, and moved that he be taken into the custody of the Serjeant- at- Arms.— Mr. WARBURTON further moved that the Ser- jeant- at- Arms do goto the lodgings of Colonel Fairman. and there seize and take possession of the book which Colonel Fairman had refused to produce to the Committee on Orange Lodges.— After considerable discussion, the latter motion, at the suggestion of the SPEAKER and Lord JOHN RULSELL, was withdrawn, the former,, however, being agreed to.— Mr. HUME then gave notice of a motion for to- morrow, to enforce the production of the book. Mr. Serjeant JACKSON moved the third reading of the Clandestine Marriages Bill-— Mr. POULTER moved the omission of clause 2. The House divided, and the numbers were, ayes, 33; noes, 21. The clause was then struck out, and the Bill was read a third time. Mr. TOOKE moved that the Select Committee on General Darling's case should have power to send for persons, papers, and records.— Sir H. HARDINGE complained of the conduct of several members of the Committee, as tyrannical and unjust. After a debate of con- siderable length it appeared that the Committee already possessed the desired power, and Mr. TOOKE consequently withdrew his motion. FRIDAY. The Seijeant- at- Arms announced that messengers had been dispatched to the residence of Col. Fairman, in accordance with the direction of theH ouse; that they had there made diligent search for him, butwithout. success ; and that they had continued there, being relieved at stated times throughout the night, but Col. Fairman had not returned. . Mr. HUME stated to the House that it was not his intention to proceed further with the motion respecting the production of the book which Colonel Fairman had refused to deliver to the Committee on Orange lodges, as it had been ascertained that the book in question was not to be found. Mr. HUME then presented the petition of which he had given no- tice, from certain inhabitants of the city of Dublin, complaining of R speech made by the Right Hon. the Recorder, in which it was alleged he had stigmatised his political opponents as infidels and revolutionists. The Hon. Member fully concurred in the prayer of the petition, and moved for leave to bring it up.— Mr. SHAW fully exculpated himself from the charge that had been made against him, and declaring that he had never used the words attribn fed to him', but that what he had really said was, " that that, party which was opposed to good order and good government would always be joined bv those who were infidels in religion and revolutionists in politics." He should not oppose the reception of the petition. The debate which ensued, related chiefly to the confusion of political andjudicial functions, it being admitted, on all sides, that the Right Hon. the Recorder had entirely freed himself from every personal charge. A conversation ensued upon the announcement of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER that, as the Militia Staff Reduction Bill had only- just been returned with amendments from the House of Lords, he was unable to bring forward the motion, of which he had given notice, for adding the appropriation clause in Committee on the Consolidated Fund Bill, and which he must now postpone until Friday next. Mr. E. L. BULWER proposed as an amendment to the motion for the third reading of the Spirit Licenses and Wine Permits Bill, a resolution " that it is expedient that the stamp duties on newspapers should be reduced to one penny."— Mr. HUME seconded the amend- ment, which, after a debate possessing no novelty, was withdrawn. — The Spirit Licenses and Wine Permits Bill was then read a third, time.— The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned until 12 o'clock Saturday, August 23 JOHN BULL. 260 as must have been highly gratifying to this accomplished actor, parti- cularly aftei1 having had to play to houses so far beneath what he had the fairest claim to expect on his first visit to this city. This evening, the performances were announced for Mr. KEMBLE'S benefit, and • were under the patronage of Major RATCLIFFE and the Officers of the Inniskillen Dragoons. The boxes were most numerously and respectably filled, and the other parts of the house were also com- pletely occupied ; altogether presenting a most cheering spectacle to those engaged in supporting the Drama. A selection was also made well calculated to show the talents of the company, which is evidently most favourable for the exhibition of genteel comedy. Mr. KEMBLE snstained the part of Charles Surface in the School for Scandal, in which he was well supported by the members of the Norwich com- pany, of whom we must not omit to mention Mr. GRAY as Sir Peter Teazle, and Mr. COWLE as Joseph Surface, Mrs. G. SMITH as Lady Teazle, and Mrs. ROBERTS as Maria. SHAKSPEARE'S Comedy of Catherine arid Petruchio was most spiritedly acted, and very warmly applauded; Mr. IVEMBLE taking the part of Petruchio, and Mrs. PLUMER the impetuous but tameable Catherine. The Bury Herald says :— A circumstance has " been related to us, so characteristic of that spirit of Whig- Radical ferocity now prevalent in this town, as to call for remark, and if necessary further exposure. An industrious man has, in order to increase his" means of maintenance, kept a pig or two on the hack part of his premises, in the Bridewell- lane, one of the most retired streets in the town. Unhappily for his peace a Dissent- ing Radical took up his abode in the neighbourhood, and having, with the " nuisance" as it is termed, before his eyes, extended his premises nearer to it, falls foul of his neighbour, and makes a de- mand that the place shall be cleared. As the case is related to us, an offer was made to remove the pig- stye as far as possible out of the way. But no— no concession could absolve from the crime of having voted with the Tory party ; accordingly proceedings are commenced against this humble individual by an active Whig- Radical attorney— not before the Magistrates of the borough, the usual mode we appre- hend in cases of the sort, but by a writ of action for damages in his Majesty's Court of Exchequer. This is but one instance of the system of Whig- Radical persecution pursued in this town against humble individuals, whose actual offence is an attachment to the constitution of their country." At a meeting of the working classes of Manchester, last week, relative to the proceedings recently taken against the unstamped press, a Mr. ELIJAH DIXON expressed his opinion of the liberty- loving Whigs in the following terms At the time of the bloody Coercion Bill being passed, he told the working classes not: to trust the Whigs, but if they wished for Whig rule he hoped for God's sake that they might have a bellyful of it. He believed that by trusting to such false patriots their confidence was misplaced. Tlie speaker then alluded to the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Bill by the Duke of WELLINGTON and Sir ROBERT PEEL, and the general policy of the Whig Government, which he maintained was composed of nothing but flaming pretensions of respect for the liberties of the people, whilst they embraced every opportunity of pouncing upon the weaker party, and of transferring the rights of the poor man to the rich one. The Whigs were constantly complaining that the people were too ignorant, yet they transported the Dorchester unionists, and when petitioned for their release, the answer they made was that two of the men were well informed per- sons, and therefore could not be liberated. Major- General MIDDLEMORE has been appointed Governor of St. Helena; and Major- General DARLING, Lieutenant- Governor of Tobago, has been nominated Lieutenant- Governor of Barbadoes, in place of the former. Sir ROBERT PEEL has accepted an invitation to dine with the Gentlemen of Tamworth and its neighbourhood at the Town Ilall, on the 4th of September. The Chair will be taken by W. P. INGE, Esq. The Queen of SPAIN has contracted for a supply of artillery from the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich ; they consist of six- pounders, 12- inch" howitzers, and other field pieces, with the materiel complete for immediate use on landing in Spain. The Commons, on Wednesday, ordered to be prepared accounts respecting all fees, gratuities, and emoluments of every kind and description, received by either the chief clerk or by Mr. MASH, as Comptroller of the Chamberlain's Office, for the passing of patents, or the licensing of theatres, from the 1st of January, 18- 29, to the pre- sent day; specifying the name of each person by whom such fee, gratuity, or emolument was paid, as well as the date, the amount, and on what accounts such payments were made. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, Lord KINNAIRD, Lord J. SCOTT, and Sir JOHN MACKENZIE, have taken the Duke of ATHOL'S forest in Perth- shire, for grouse shooting. It contains 53,000 acres, and the rent is 2,' 8001. Wednesday a meeting of the Westminster Conservative Association took place at their office, Lord ELIOT in the Chair. The Secretary reported that the registration in most of the parishes was very favour- able to their cause, particularly in St. Clement Danes. He also stated that in the parish of St. Martin- in- the- Fields no less than 150 Radicals had registered, who were not entitled to vote. Since the last meeting of this association it has received an accession of seventy new members. The Leeds Intelligencer publishes the following :— In a note to OASTLER'S " Letters to the Duke of WELLINGTON, we find the following anecdote of the manner in which the Chief Commissioner commissioned his travelling deputies:— " On the Northern Circuit, very lately, many Barristers were chattering together; there were several ' Commissioners'amongst them. Mr. ft., who had been appointed to the Western Circuit, addressing his patron, said—' B., how am I to proceed when 1 arrive in any town; I don't know that we have any precedents?' B. replied—' No, there are no cases in the books. When you get to a town you must send for the Mayor, the Headborough, the Borough- reeve, or whatever title he may have; and if he won't give you any information, send for any other public officer; and if they will- none of them answer your questions, you will always find a troublesome, busy, meddling fellow in every town, who is too idle to attend to his own business, and who is always finding fault with everybody else— you will never be fast, for such a character in any town; send for him— give him a glass— and he will tell you all you want to know.' A pretty way this, for a set of idle, briefless lawyers, to tramp about the country in the KING'S name, carrying his seal, and charging the country 1,0001, or- 2,0001. a year! Well mav the name of the KING have lost its charm amongst the people !— But to proceed with the anecdote. There was a quiz of a lawyer standing by ( Mr. G-), rather more learned than the rest, more versant with books, with cases, and with precedents than they; he very drily remarked— * Brother R. need be at no loss for a precedent— there is a case in the books exactly in point for him, and on the same Circuit too. JAMES the SECOND sent JEFFERIES on the same errand into the same Circuit.' " The person designated as " B." is Mr. BLACKBURNE; the inquir- ing disciple of the system was one whose conduct has come under frequent observation in the House of Lords during the hearing of' Counsel and the evidence; and we must do him the justice of admit- ting that he benefitted by his instructions— JEFFERI'ES himself could not have done the deed more sweepingly. We are assured that the anecdote is perfectly correct in all its parts. CAPTAIN BACK.— We learn from the Montreal Gazette that GEORGE SIMPSON, Esq., the Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company, arrived on the 14th ult. at Laclime, from the interior, accompanied by J. D. CAMERON, Esq., one of the wintering partners of the con- cern. These gentlemen brought favourable reports of the state of the country— it was remarkably ( healthy, and the Indians peaceable and well- disposed. When in the interior Mr. SIMS- SON received a letter from Captain BACK, dated at . Fort Reliance, near the Great lay? Lake, the 7th. of December last The Gallant Officer and bis whole party were, at the date of writing, in the enjoyment of good health and spirits. Captain BACK was expected down early in the season on his return to England. There is at present residing at Chippenham a woman named LAWRENCE, who has been led to the altar of Hymen five times, arid now asserts that " should she survive her present husband," her love of wedded life would induce her to pay her vows the sixth time. A strange fatality seems to have attended four of the poor fellows ; the first of whom was deprived of his reasoning faculties ; the second fell into a stone quarry, which cost him his life; the third was trans- ported ; ajid the fourth's existence was terminated by the falling of a tree. A farmer at Trowbridge has tried on an acre of land the effect of planting wheat about a foot apart. He last year had eleven sacks from an acre and a quarter; and from one acre of land which he has this year planted in the same way, he expects 20 sacks of wheat. He has tried in this manner the red straw lammas and the Taun- ton White Wheat, and has found them both doubly productive; on this principle two pecks of seed are sufficient for an acre. In the winter there was scarcely the appearance of a blade, but. when the spring advanced, the crop began to look luxuriantly healthy and strong. The farmer thinks that if planted 18 inches apart he would have a still better crop; he means to try this next year. The following appears in the Post of Thursday :— St. Pancras, Angiist 17,1835. SIR— Permit me to send you the following curious extract from the minute bcok of the vestry of this parish: it explains the mode in which Radical petitions are got up.—" What will the Lords do ?" I am, Sir, your obedient servant, VERAX. At a general meeting of the vestrymen of the parish of St. Pancras, held at the vestry- room, August 6, 1835, RICHARD COOKE, Esq., in the Chair, a letter from Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY, M. P., was presented and read, and ordered to be entered on the minutes as follows:— House of Commons, August 4, 1835. SIR— A measure of vital importance to the interests of tho country is now in imminent peril. The House of Lords have so decidedly evinced their dislike to the Municipal Corporations Reform Bill that no one can doubt they would at once, and without, hesitation, reject it if they did not stand in some aire of what might be the consequences of such a disappointment to the expectations and desires of the people. The pretence of hearing evidence is only an expedient to defeat the measure by delay. The farce now performing would be laughable for its folly if it were not melancholy to see a branch of the State so tricky anil disingenuous. The parish of St. Pancras has ever shown so lively an interest in the progress of good Government, and has so large and important a share of the empire within, its hounds, that, my colleague, Mr. Bulwer concurs with me in submitting, with all deference to the vestry, the propriety of convening a public meeting to petition the House of Commons not to pass the Appropriation Act till the Corporations Bill has become law, but to adjourn from week to week, and also to press the other House to cease these vexatious delays.— 1 am, Sir, your very obedient servant, ( Signed) SAMUEL B. WHALLEY. Resolved— That a public meeting be convened by the Church- wardens of this parish, for the purpose of petitioning the House of Lords immediately to pass the Municipal Corporations Reform Bill without diminishing, but rather extending, the principle of the Bill, and also to petition the House of Commons not to pass the Appropri- at; on Act until the Corporations Bill and the Irish Church Bill have respectively received the Royal assent. A- Commission lias - been established in Berlin, for the organisation of a flotilla on the coast, which in time of war will serve to keep up the communications between the ports and fortified places of Pomerania, and to protect the coasts of the Baltic. In the first instance it will consist only of gun- boats and six other light vessels of war. In the first sitting of the Commission the number and calibre of the guns for arming the flotilla was agreed on. Count SEBASTIANI, the French Ambassador, relinquishes his post on the 2Sth inst. A part of the establishment has already broken up, and the rest have received notice to quit at the end of the month. The latest accounts from Ham are very unfavourable. Prince POLIGNAC is suffering from a violent attack of gout, and bears in him the seeds of a complaint which create some fears for his life. The sight of M. de PEYRONNET is become so weak as to give grounds for serious apprehensions that it may altogether fail. These alarming symptoms . are occasioned by the rigorous treatment of the prisoners. The heat renders the rooms allotted to them almost uninhabitable during the summer, and the terrace upon which only they are allowed to walk is so completely exposed to the south, that it is impossible for them to take the exercise their health requires. We conceive it is quite time to put an end to a captivity which becomes daily less reasonable, or probably death will shortly put an end to it.— French Paper. It is now six months since the two Houses of Parliament assem- bled, and there is still a very considerable quantity of business to be disposed of, exclusive of the Corporation and Irish Church Bills. The adjournment is not expected to take place before the middle of next month. Tuesday's Gazette notifies that the King has permitted the brothers andsisters of tlie Roman Catholic JOHN Earl of SHREWSBURY, to have, hold, and enjoy the same titles, place, pre- eminence, and precedence as if their late father, JOHN JOSEPH TALBOT had succeeded to the title and dignity of Earl SHREWSBURY. The Belgian Chambers, acting in subserviency to the French Cabinet, are about to pass a law for the expulsion of foreigners who may have sought an asylum in their country. The mean temperature of the external air in July, was one degree and three quarters higher than the mean of July fora series of years. The long drought has occasioned an almost unexampled deficiency in the supply of water from ponds and wells, and the keep is so short that many farmers are obliged to fodder their cattle, as in winter. A New York paper gives the following illustration of the advan- tages and blessings of Republicanism in the United States:— It cannot be denied that, from some cause, our people have re- cently manifested a turbulence alid disregard of the laws, equally alien to the former character of Americans, and dangerous to the peace and well- being of society. This disposition has been exhibited so frequently and flagrantly that it is impossible to be blind to its existence and activity. Riots were at one time unknown in our happy country. Our people were admired throughout the world for their calm and peaceful deference to enlightened laws ; and those who objected to Republicanism as tending to encourage violence and disorder, were proudly directed to contemplate the condition of the United States. But times are changed. Every mail almost brings news of a riot. Along our whole sea board mobs are daily setting the law at defiance, and perpetrating outrages disgraceful to our national character. Individual instances of a disregard of the re- straints of law are equally numerous. Nor are these manifestations peculiar to any part of the country. Some time since we gave an account of a mob in Alabama, which seized a culprit, bore him to the fields, and burned him to death! This morning's mail brings a case of a like character. The number of inquests on new- born children found dead has in- creased to a most fearful extent. Thus works that blessed piece of Whig legislation, the Poor Law Amendment Bill! The Brighton Gazette says:— " The quiet village of Buxted has recently been a scene of consider- able excitement, resulting from the operation of the Poor Law. The aged have been much affected— the young have trembled with fear— and the superstitious have promulgated tales of woe and distress; fora a waggon load of coffins has been sent to the workhouse, which occasioned the utmost alarm. To- account for this strange importa- tion, it appears that the contractor, living about fifteen miles l'rom the parish, could not afford to send a single coffin that distance; consequently, he made a calculmion, and supplied the parish with coffins for a twelvemonth. The effect produced upon the minds of the children has, weunderstand, been very great. HALLEY'S famous comet has been seen by the astronomers. M. BOUVARD has communicated to the Academie des Sciences a letter from the director of the Observ atory at Rome announcing the impor- tant fact. The light of the comet is very feeble, and the weather has not yet been sufficiently favourable to permit of its being very exactly observed.— French Paper. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE.

The parishioners of Ashford have invited tlieir late respected curate, Dr. NANCE, to dine with them this day, when an elegant silver1 tea service will be presented to him in consequence of his leaving the parish, to reside on his living at Old Romney. On Saturday sen'night, a deputation of the young ladies attending: St. Andrew's Church, Plymouth, waited upon the Rev. JOHN HAT- CHARD, and presented him with a very elegant pocket service of Com- munion Plate, bearing the following inscription:—" A tribute of affection to the Rev. John Hatchard, M. A., from the young ladies of his congregation. Plymouth, August, 1835." The " Commission of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland" met on the 12th instant. To this commission it is proper to observe, for the information of the English reader, every member of the " General Assembly" has a right to be admitted ; and the meeting was crowded to an extent greatly exceeding any former ex- ample. More than 100 members of the " General Assembly" were present; incontestible proof of the deep interest excited by the occasion. A resolution, expressive of the strongest distrust in the constitution and character of the Commission lately issued by Minis- ters for inquiring into the state of the Church of Scotland, was pro- posed, and carried by the decisive majority of 90 to 3.— The resolu- tion is grounded upon the fact that a majority of the acting and paid Commissioners are known to be inimical to the Church of Scotland. One of them, and the Secretary to the Commission, conducted the opposition to the payment of ministers money in Edinburgh. , The Lord Bishop of BATH and WELLS administered " the solemn-' rite of confirmation to nearly 1,000 young persons at Devizes, on. Thursday se'nnight; and on the Tuesday previous, the rite of con- firmation was administered by his Lordship to 450 persons at Chip- penham.' The Bishop of WINCHESTER has just announced a confirmation for the whole county of Hants, which will occupy more than a month. CHURCH- RATES.— At a vestry- meeting at Cheltenham last week, the Rev. F. CLOSE, Incumbent, " in the chair, the Churchwarden hav- ing called for a Church- rate of three- pence, as being the smallest sum necessary for themost pressing wants, it was moved and carried, without opposition, that a rate of four- pence be granted, in order that there should be no deficiency in the funds required for the due maintenance of the Church. KIDDERMINSTER.— A numerous and highly respectable meeting of the inhabitant rate- payers of this borough was held on Friday, in the, Vestry- room adjoining the parish Church, forthepurpose of granting' a Church- rate ( if 7d. in the pound. Such was the good feeling which., prevailed, that not only 7d. in the pound, but an additional 14d. was allowed, in order to pay off a mortgage, which could not otherwise have been paid for six years, and carried with only one dissentient, voice. Such conduct must be highly gratifying to the frifcnds of the Church, and is highly honourable to the Dissenters. The triennial visitation of the Lord Bishop of SALISBURY was held in Devizes on Wednesday last, but in consequence of the continued indisposition of his Lordship, the Rev. Chancellor MARSH attended on his behalf. There was a very numerous attendance of the Clergy. The foundation- stone of the new Chnrch erecting at Whitchurch, Salop, at the sole expense of the Countess of BRIDGEWATER, was laid on Thursday week bv the Rector of the parish, the Rev. C. M. LONG. A correspondent of the Manchester Courier furnishes the following information relative to the increase of Churches in that part of the county of Lancaster which lies south of the Lune:— Churches erecting, or about to be commenced immediately.— Trawden near Colne; Worsthorn, near Burnley ; Small Bridge, near Roch- dale; Broughton, Cheetham, and Chorlton- upon- Medlock, Man- chester; Kirkdale and Knotty Ash, near Liverpool; Ashton- upon- Ribble, near Preston ; and Thornton, near Poulton- le- Fylde. Churches lately built, re- built, Sfc.— Tockholes, near Blackburn; Todmorden, near Rochdale ; Sportland Bridge, near Rochdale; Aspul, near Wigan; Melling, near Ormskirk; Lytham, near Preston; HeTwood, near Bury. Churches lately enlarged and enlarging.— Dean, near Bolton- le- Moors; Newton- in- Mackerfield; Blackpool, near Poulton- le- t vide; Temporary Chapels lately opened.— Frerkleton, near Kirkham; Mellor Brook, Balderstone, near Blackburn; Chatburn, near Clitheroe; and Crossens, near. Southport Intended Churches or Chapels.— Habergham Eaves, Bsrnlay,; Astley Bridge, near Bolton- le- Moors; Lonesight, near Manchester; Tonge, near Middleton ; Thornham, nearMiddleton; West, Heugh- ton, near Wigan ; Jordan- street, Preston.; and Out- Rawcliffe, near Poulton- le- Fylde. Nearly thirty townships and villages in these limits might be named where episcopal establishments are desirable. 270 of his faithful subjects. This impression, which he never ceased to . cherish, could alone induce him to quit Portugal, and remove for a short time from the frontiers of his kingdom. Accordingly, the King no sooner arrived at Portsmouth, than he bent his whole attention . towards his return to Spain. The Prince had been pleased to number me amongst the very few of his devoted adherents, to whom he might confide his lofty pro- jects ; and he had selected me to accompany him. During his so- journ at Portsmouth, he commissioned me to mtike preparations for Jris departure; in obedience to his orders, I performed several journies to London iu furtherance of that object. The most important and . arduous arrangement was the procuring of passports : I concerted imy measures with Mr. , a banker in London, whose zeal for the royal cause, and capacity for business, proved of the utmost . advantage to my views. After having long and carefully considered what species of pass- ports would prove most suitable to us, we determined that the King . and the individual who was to accompany liim, should represent themselves as colonists from the island of Trinidad, and that pass- ports should be procured for them in that character. " VVe gave a . preference to Trinidad. because it had formerly belonged to Spain ; the greater part of the inhabitants still spoke the Spanish language, and consequently any Spanish words which might drop from the . King, during the journey we were about to undertake, would not create any suspicion. Our passports were delivered to us under the names of Alphonse > 5aez and Thomas Saubot; the first a merchant, the second a jjlanter in Trinidad, and both Mr. B.' s correspondents. Mr. Thomas Saubot, then in London, gave me his passport, containing a descrip- tion, which, by a singular coincidence, perfectly corresponded with any person ; the oth" r was procured by a friend of mine; but they were both ignorant of the use to which I intended to apply them. Having thus procured thepassports, I collected as many pamphlets and newspapers as I could find respecting the island of Trinidad, and carefully inquired the names of the principal inhabitants of the co- lony, and of the last arrivals in English harbours, in order not to be taken by surprise, in the event of any unforeseen questions being put to me. With the view of averting the suspicious vigilance of M. de Talleyrand, I next sent, for examination, at the embassy, a passport whicli had been given to me in France, under my reid name, six . months before; and in order to allow proper notice to be taken of it, I did not call for its return until two days afterwards. This passport was examined for Hamburg, my departure for which town I had openly announced to every person of the household of Charles V., having also adopted that precaution towards all my friends. I did not fail to tell every one that I was entrusted with a mission of some importance for the north of Germany; that seemed a proba- ble story, as it was known that two vessels were expected at Ham- burgh, having two hundred Spanish officers on board, who had been . unable to embark with us. It was quite natural that I should pro- ceed to meet with them ; many persons accordingly confided to me their letters and commissions, in perfect good faith. M. de Talley- rand was completely the dupe of my contrivance; he notified my arrival to his agents at Hamburg, and even did me the honour to dis- patch a special emissary for the purpose of keeping watch over my froceedings; on this occasion, the old diplomatic cunning of Louis hilippe's ambassador was at fault, and I had the honour of deceiving ' M. de Talleyrand. After having procured, by way of precaution, two further- passports, I hastened to announce to the King that all was ready for our depar- ture. This was necessarily to take place on the first days of our landing in England ; but my most important task was yet to be per- formed, and I had still many obstacles to overcome, which were to be encountered about the King's person. Of all those who were in attendance upon him, the Bishop of Leon was the only one who approved of the journey, though he would not take upon himself the responsibility of it. The others admitted, it is true, the necessity of the return of Charles V. to his dominions, but they opposed, by every means in their power, his attempting it by way of France; a sea " voyage appeared to them less hazardous, and I had, accordingly, warm debates to sustain respecting the risks and casualties which attended the course 1 recommended. The public papers had already given the alarm to Christina's Government, by announcing that Don Carlos was immediately ex- pected in one of the Spanish ports ; many English officers had been observed to try the soundings on the shores of Guipuscoa and Biscay ; English, French, and Spanish cruisers kept, vigilant watch along the coast. I was therefore of opinion that a landing was next to impossible, and that, supposing it otherwise, there would be danger of drawing down all the enemy's forces in that direction, so that the King had the alternative, on returning to Spain, of either being killed by the Christines, or of falling into their hands. It was further to be objected that the vessel intended to convey the King, having been purchased to carry arms and ammunition to Don Miguel, was closely watched,, that it required a million and a half of francs to arm the vessel— where was this sum to be procured ? This argument was peremptory: the King accordingly determined to abide bymyadvice; it was fortunate he did so, for the person who was to arm tlie vessel in which it was proposed he_ should proceed to Spain, has not yet been able to complete her equipment. I had every difficulty in persuading, that a land journey only ex- posed us to the risk of being arrested by M. Thiers' police, and that the worst which could happen to the King, was his being conveyed beyond the French frontiers, as Louis Philippe could not have ' the audacity to re- open the dungeon of Blaye for the admission of the King of Spain. I was quite satisfied that I was conquering, in the person of M. de Talleyrand, the evil genius of the juste milieu party. Every resting place had been settled before hand; I had taken note of every house at which we might stop on the road from London to Bayonne; and although no previous intimation had been given to any one, in order not to incur the danger in which. au act of indis- cretion might involve us, 1 was confident of the welcome reception and devoted ness we should meet with. The only thing I had pro- vided, was that every one should be at his post on the instant of our arrival; I was thoroughly acquainted with the road, and felt assured that no delay would retard us. Such were the convictions I had to impress upon the minds of those who thought it their duty to raise difficulties to my plan of travelling; I may affirm, however, that every thing has occurred as I had previously anticipated ; and I have had nothing to alter in the itinerary I had laid down for his Majesty, previously to our quitting Portugal. I was anxious that our journey should not be delayed, as it would have been imprudent in us to " afford leisure to the police of the - quadruple alliance for enclosing the illustrious traveller within their • nets. This was a victory of which I may also claim the achieve- ment : the King yielded to my arguments, and named the 1st of • July as the day of his departure. It was agreed that the royal family should remove to London. They left Portsmouth on the 2' 2nd of June, and alighted at Gloucester- lodge, the former residence of Mr. Canning. This delightful house Is at the distance of two miles from Hyde- park, on the road from Piccadilly. Those who are aware of the influence which Mr. Canning's principles exercised over the destinies of Spain, will think it a singular coincidence, that Charles V. should have proceeded to the_ conquest of his dominions, from the very spot which had been inhabited by the English Minister, who chiefly contributed to the revolutions which have desolated the Spanish territory. The King availed himself of the few days he had to spare, and visited whatever was most interesting to a stranger in London. I afterwards supplied him with the instructions to be observed by the persons of his household, at the moment of our departure, as well as during our journey. They were as follows:— His Majesty was to sally forth, on the 1st of July, at six in the evening, the hour at which he took his usual walk, in company with M. Aznares, formerly attached to the legation at the court of Sar- dinia, to take a coacli at tile first stand, which was at the distance of a mile from his residence, and proceed in it to Welbeck- street, Cavendish- square. I was waiting for him at one of the houses in that street, where he was to cut off his mustacliios, and get his hair dyed. It was to be said at Gloucester- lodge, as soon as night should set in, that the King had returned from his walk with a violent head- ache, which had compelled him to retire to bed. The physician of Bon Carlos, who would never have conseuted to be kept away from iim, was to be made acquainted with the secret, as well " as the King's valet, an old servant on whose discretion perfect reliance . mieht be placed. The physician, after paying a visit to his patient, would write an order which was to be taken for preparation to an apothecarv in the neighbourhood, and in which he was to prescribe mustard baths and sinapisms. The Queen, the Princess of Beira, and the Bishop of Leon, were to pass several hours of each day at the bed- side of the august patient; the Bishop was even to come on purpose from London, whore he resided, in order to be the better enabled to srivehis attendance to the King; the King's apartment was to be ciosed against every one else, even the Infants his children; they were to be told that tlieir august father could not see theni JOHN BULL. owing to the violence of his headache; nevertheless, the secret of the voyage was communicated, two days after our departure, to the Prince of Asturias, who expressed the deepest mortification at not having been allowed to accompany his father. The gentleman of thebed- chuuiber himself, the duties of whose office require his re- maining at the door of the King's apartment to receive his orders, was for several days unaware of the King's absence. In the event of the King's departure from London becoming known, two of the gentlemen in attendance upon his Majesty were to start for Lulworth in a post- chaise and four; and it was to be stated in the newspapers, that Don Carlos had gone to visit the late residence of Charles X., with the view of fixing himself there, with las family, at a. later period. 1 placed all these instructions, in writing, in the Queen's hands, and she condescended to express to me her satisfaction at my conduct. These details may perhaps be deemed trifling ; bnt I had at heart to make known all the precautions employed, and all the means re- sorted to for the purpose of insuring the successful journey of my august master; their minuteness will be forgiven, in consideration of the importance of the subject. At last the King came to an understanding with me, at ten in the morning of the 1st of July, respecting the final arrangement to be adopted for our departure. Previously to my taking leave, he al- lowed me to kiss his hand, " Sire," said I," this is the last homage I am to pav to your Majesty; this very night we are to exchange parts ; it will be yours to obey me until you return to your dominions, when each of us shall resume his fetation." The King replied with his usual condescension, that he cheerfully consented to the exchange. I then took leave of every person about the court, and left them un- der the impression that I was proceeding to Hamburg. I was at our rendezvous in Welbeck- street at six in the evening, expecting the King half an hour afterwards; he had not arrived at that hour, and I began to feel uneasy. Nevertheless, this delay was very natural; had not the King, previously to his departure, to " leave a crown behind him, a father's crown, which it costs so many tears and sorrows to surrender? He was about to tear himself away from the embraces of a family lie had never left, of a cherished wife, of his children, whom it was'doubtful he should ever again behold! His heart of a father and of a husband must have bled, when fulfilling his painful duties of a Sovereign : he took leave of his children ; his se- paration from the Queen was to be for ever! His Majesty, accompanied by M. Aznares, arrived at half- past seven. I went to receive him, but at the sight of the King I was so much affected that he perceived my emotion, and said to me—" You appear alarmed." " No, Sire." " Yon are frightened, I tell von," quickly rejoined the King, " you are agitated." " No doubt, 1 am, Sire, bnt it is the agitation of enthusiasm. I admire your energy in adopting a resolution which must be attended with such important results." I presented to the King, M. and Madame B——-, so well worthy of the confidence he deigned to repose in them. The'first object attended to was that of disguising the King; he began, with remarkable cheerfulness, by cutting away his mustachios, a sacrifice at all times painful to a Castillian. The amiable Madame B had taken upon herself the task of dying his hair, for her devoted zeal would not allow her to trust to strange hands so im- portant a secret. She was discharging this function with a timid gracefulness, and when laying her hands, for the first time, on the King's head, she said to him with visible emotion, " We must in- deed, Sire, be living in times of revolution, that I should thus venture to lay my hand upon a royal head-" " Courage, Madame," affably replied the King, and iu* order to calm her agitation, he good h'u- monredly asked her if one might not likewise procure powder to whiten the hair. " But the times we live in are such," added the King, " that they would often render it a useless secret." Pending these preparations, I had retired to make our final arrangements. I took care to apprise the landlord of the house I occupied, that having to start by the Hamburg packet at an early hour the next morning, I had determined to sleep on board, in order to be in readiness; this is a very common precaution, and would not raise any doubts ; but I adopted it because a Frenchman had called upon me the day before, and offered to accompany me on the voyage; this appeared a suspicious circumstance ; and although I went under a feigned name whilst in that house, I felt apprehensive that this person might have been a spy in the service of M. de Talleyrand. On returning to the King, I found him with the Bishop of Leon, M. Aznares, and the Bishop's secretary. The latter had just arrived from Gloucester- lodge, where he had sent him in search of the royal seal, which the King had forgotten to bring away. The Bishop's secretary informed us that sinapisms were preparing for the patient; this piece of news greatly amused the King, who was cheerfully pre- paring tostepintoa carriage, in the full enjoyment of health. I learnt that, during my absence, the Bishop of Leon, beset with those advisers who opposed the King's determination, and who ex- aggerated to him the dangers which his Majesty was about to encounterin his adventurous journey, was for a moment in doubt of its success; he felt it his duty to make a last attempt in order to ascertain whether the King's intention was irrevocably fixed, and had beseeched him to postpone his departure. " No!" replied the King, " I feel something here ( pointing to his heart) which tellsTme that the undertaking will be prosperous; and in order that God may protect it," added his Majesty; " I request your blessing." The King then bent his knee to the ground, and the worthy Bishop implored the blessing of heaven upon his royal bead. The time of parting had arrived. The King's farewell to the Bishop of Leon, and to the persons who were about him, was most affecting. The clock struck twelve as we stepped into the carriage ; we were iu Brighton at half- past seven in the morning, and on our passage to Dieppe an hour afterwards. We performed the voyage in twelve hours, as is usual on the passage from Brighton to Dieppe during the summer season ; but there was a heavy swell, and the King was notfor a moment free from seasick- ness ; nevertheless, the idea of returning to his kingdom often over- came his sickness, and the recollection of his country and of his subjects absorbed all his thoughts. I pointed out to the King, towards four o'clock, the coast of France, that, beautiful country, the cradle of his ancestors, the he- reditary land of hiB family, which he had only known by a captivity of six years under the imperial bolts of Valencay. Previously to landing, I took care to prepare his Majesty for all the formalities he would have to submit to ; I wished to guard him against the surprise which he might express, and thus incur the risk of our being disco- covered ; the precautions resorted to by the custom- house officers are not softened by courtesy ; and if the'y offend private individuals, they are far more likely to " prove offensive to those Sovereigns who are compelled, by circumstances to submit to them. I prevailed upon Charles V. to abstain from every remark, and leave me the task of answering every question that might be put to us. We entered the harbour at eight o'clock at night, and were con- ducted, on landing, to the office of the custom- house to submit our- selves to inspection, and to deposit our passports. After having undergone the usual examination, we took up our abode at the. Royal Hotel kept by Mr. Clarke; notwithstanding all my solicitations and arguments, I found it impossible to procure from the custom- house officers the immediate delivery of our luggage and passports, so as to enable us to set off the same evening; in spite of us, we had to tarry that night at Dieppe. Intimation was given to us the next morning, that we were ex- pected at the police office for the restitution of our passports. In vain did I represent that, at Calais, they are less rigid in their formalities, and that for a gratification of two francs the passports of travellers are examined, without their having to present themselves before the police; we were forced to give way— though not without my exclaiming against that ridiculous injunction, against which, however, as stated by the Commissioner of our hotel, all foreigners passing through Dieppe had long been urgent in their complaints. In spite of my vexation, we had to repair to the police office, where we received our passports to proceed on our way to the baths of Bagnieres. The office was crowded with foreigners, who, like us, were awaiting the examination of their passports; but I had received a promise from the commissary that we should be the first attended to; the King, however, admonished me on leaving the office, that I was wrong in insisting so much upon obtaining our passports before every one else, as this earnestness might awaken suspicion. " Quite th • contrary, Sire," I replied, " it is the best way to avert it; the man who holds up his head and makes a noise is never sus- pected ; suspicion falls on the timid man who . endeavours to elude observation.' On returning to the hotel, we gave orders for our departure; Mr. Clarke had procured us the hire of a caleche; I had ordered post- horses before hand, and when breakfast was over, we stepped into the carriage. It was half- past eight o'clock when we left Dieppe. The King made inquiries respecting the castle of Arques, so cele- j brated by the battle . in which Henry IV. defeated the Duke of ' August 23. Mayenne ; I pointed to the left of the road the hills which concealed it from our view ; the King said with a smile : " J am treading in the footsteps of my ancestor; 1 am on my way to the conquest of my kingdom." On reaching the ascent of Montigny, at about three leagues from Dieppe, I said to the King: " This" is the magnificent domain of Viscount d'Ambray, one of the most faithful adherents of the august French branch of your honse. The newspapers of all opinions have paid homage to the lofty character he displayed at the period of the Revolution of July, when he energetically refused, iu these words, the application of" the Chamber of Peers that he should vote for the King sprung from the barricades : " My first oath forbids my taking another." This remarkable language was applauded by every one, and conciliated all parties to him, so true it is, that a man of honour can only serve under one banner; the Viscount d'Ambray is one of those men who may be introduced alike to friend or foe. These cir cumstances made an impression upon the King, who regretted much that the distance of the Viscount d'Ambray's residence from the road should have prevented his calling to pay him a visit. Who in fact could have better appreciated his Majesty ? { Tobe concludea next week.) WE find the following details in the Kingston Chronicle of July 6. We have not seen any such account in any of the Loudon papers, and therefore, thinking our readers may he as ill- informed as ourselves, we give them entire:— Destruction of the City of Conception and Talcahnana, by an Earth- quake.— We learn by Capt. WHITOX, of the ship Coral, at New Bedford, 86 days from Talcahuana, the melancholy intelligence of the entire destruction of the city of Conception and Talcahuana by an earthquake. on the 20th of February. The following statement was drawn up by a gentleman who was an eye- witness:— " The morning of the 20th was clear and serene, but it will prove an ever- memorable day to the miserable people now inhabiting the ' border hills in this vicinity. The first shock commenced about 20 minutes past 11 o'clock, and lasted with but slight intermission for 4" minutes; causing the hills and valleys to rise and fall like the waves of the ocean. During the continuance of the first shock, whicli was much the most severe, 1 expected to be destroyed every moment — it was almost impossible to keep upright. " Talcahuana is completely demolished— the buildings were not only shaken down, but the ruins of houses, stores, tfec., were com- pletely swept away afterwards by the sea, which retired about 15 minutes after the first shock, leaving the shipping entirely dry, at anchor in the harbour— it came in again in about ten minutes, to the height of 25 feet above the usual mark, overwhelming the whole place. Men, women, and children fled for the mountains, but many were overtaken and swept to the ocean by the receding waves, which completed the entire destruction of the town, depriving hundreds of people of their second garments— many who were in good circum- stances are now completely destitute. Furniture of all kinds was carried away with the houses— not even a living vestige to inform the owner of the situation of his former residence. It would require an eye- witness to be made acquainted with the complete destruction of the town by this awful calamity. " Conception, a city containing about 25,000 inhabitants, is one complete heap of ruins— the houses being built chiefly of brick. There is but one solitary building left standing within the limits of the city and for leagues around. The shock came from a south- east direction, and in its way destroyed every thing. " The number of lives lost could not be correctly ascertained. A new Cathedral, building in Conception, buried twenty workmen in its ruins. There were but two American ships in the harbour of Talcahuana at the time, besides the Coral, the Milton, and the Nile. A schooner was driven from her anchoring and drifted over the town. " Chili has been subject to earthquakes ever since its settlement by the Spaniards. The city of Conception was originally built three leagues to the north of its present site, bnt having been twice de- stroyed by earthquakes, the inhabitants removed to the south, and built the city on its present location. Conception is represented, by those who have visited it. as a delightful place— the inhabitants high- minded, and honest in all the relations of life. A number of Ameri- cans, principally mechanics, have located themselves in the city. Talcahuana is situated in lat. 36 52 N., Ion. 73 06 E., being the port of Conception, and a place of considerable business. It has been the general resort of American whale ships for several years past— the harbour being one of the best on the coast. " The towri is situated almost on a level with the sea, large hills arising in the rear. The inhabitants, when the Coral left, were in a most deplorable situation. Capt. PAUL DELANA, who is known to many of our citizens, and to every one who has visited Talcahnana, has lost his little property, and was compelled to take shelter on board the shipping— his beautiful residence, the home of our countrymen whether in prosperity or adversity, is completely swept away, and himself aud lady narrowly escaped with their lives. No individual, not holding an official station from our Government, ever rendered more substantial benefit to his countrymen that Capt. DELANA. Many of the useless revenue laws of the country have been repealed through his instrumentality. " Mr. ANdRos, an honourable gentleman, who has done the supplying money agency business of late years, for whale- ships, lost all his property. " The view " from the shipping in the harbour during the different shocks, is represented by an eye- witness as awfully grand and terrific. The unusual trembling and agitation of the ships— the convulsions and heavings of the mountains and plains, as far as the eye could extend, the sight at a distance of the bigotted and awe stricken Catho- lics, fleeing, they knew not whither, for safety— the violent rushing of the waters over the ruins of a thickly- populated town, sweeping the wrecks of the demolished habitations of the rich and poor, into one common chaos of ruin, was calculated to impress the mind of the beholder with wonder and astonishment at the power of an over- ruling and wise Providence." The New Bedford Gazette describes the dreadful catastrophe in the following manner:— " The shocks continued, three or four every day, up to the time the ship left. On the 22d, a large portion of the island of Caracana, at the mouth of the bay, was swallowed up. The 5th of March, it was stated there, that from 25 to 30 towns, besides many small vil- lages and the Cordilleras, were scenes of complete ruin. From four to five hundred lives were lost just in that section of the country— but the extent of the suffering is not yet known— probably thrice that number have been buried in the ruins. " The condition of the people who formerly inhabited spacious and convenient dwellings, where now not even a brick is left to mark the spot, is one of the utmost suffering. The poor people who lived in the country in small reed huts have suffered but little. Their houses withstood the shock, and to them is preserved a roof for shel- ter. Those who fled to the hills, created little shantees, on the spots of land least broken up, and were compelled to be constantly at work procuring the food necessary to satisfy hunger. " The scene during the first shock was appalling. The trembling of everything around— the boiling of the sea, as when water is heated over a fire— the earth opening wide, giving forth the most terrific moans, and labouring with internal fires— buildings totter- ing in every direction, and whole blocks of brick dwellings rocking to their foundation. " When the first intimation of the breaking up of the convulsed earth was received by the inhabitants of the cities and towns, they, struck with horror, ran into the middle of the wide streets and knelt in fervent prayer to God, to save them from the threatening destruc- tion. Our informant, who was among the number, says that he saw families run from their doors, and just as they left their thresholds their buildings, mostly of brick, came tumbling down after them. It is a most fortunate thing for the people of the country that the shock came at mid- day. Had it taken place in the middle hour of night they would have been compelled to flee for safety without even the one suit of clothes they now have, making their sufferings much greater. , — " It is a matter of history, that between the years 1520 and 1752, five great earthquakes occurred in Chili. That on the 15th of March, 1657, destroyed a great part of the capital; that on the 18th of June, 1730, drove the sea against the city of Conception, and overthrew its walls ; and that on the 26th of May, 1751, completely destroyed that city, which was again inundated bv the sea, and levelled with the ground all the fortresses and villages lying between lat. 34 and 40 south. The shocks continued at intervals more than a mouth. JNot an individual human life, however, was lost on this occasion, except some invalids who were drowned in Conception. In l/ ol Concep- tion was rebuilt on the north side of the river Blobio, about a league from the sea." Mr. CHARLES KEMBLE concluded his engagement at Norwich on Saturday evening, when there was such an attendance of company August 23. JOHN BULL/ 267 NAVAL AND MILITARY.

LIVERPOOL, Aug. 20.— Breach of Promise of Marriage.— Warring v. Walley and Wife.— This was an action to recover compensation for a breach of promise of marriage, brought by a young man who holds the situation of clerk in a warehouse in Liverpool, against Mr. Walley, a respectable inhabitant of the same place, and his wife, who was alleged to have been pledged to Warring at the time of her marriage to Walley. The cause was undefended. Mr. Venables opened the pleadings, and Mr. Alexander stated the case. The action, he said, was rather a peculiar one, inasmuch as it was brought by the gentleman against the lady ; and although this was rather a reverse of the ordinary occurrence he was not aware ofthe existence of any law which shut out a man from seek- ing reparation for disappointments occasioned by a lady. Lord Abinger— Is the action undefended by the lady ? Mr. Alexander— It is my Lord. ( Laughter.) He was prepared to show that the defendant, Mrs. Walley, had so far outraged the feel- ings of his client, the plaintiff, and so far violated the fidelity usually maintained by her sex, as, after pledging her vows to Warring, to fly from him at " the very time he was making preparations for the mar- riage, and to throw herself into the arms of another, whom eventually • she married. The plaintiff had been for some time acquainted with the defendant at Preston, where her father keeps a public- house. In .1833 their affections were engaged to each other, and in the hope of amending his condition in life he removed to Liverpool, where he - obtained a situation in a merchant's counting- house. He continued to reside in Liverpool, and was favoured with frequent visits by the defendant, then Miss Townsend, with whom he planned the arrange- ments for their marriage. But " The course of true love never did run smooth." Miss Townsend, in December of last year was married to Mr. Walley, Mr. Warring being discarded. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to read some letters from Miss Townsend to Warring, portions of which excited much merriment. In the first, dated Sept. 27,1833, she expressed much uneasiness regarding the constancy of her lover, and told him, " If ever you meet any of the girls we met in the square shut your eyes and do not look at them, for if you do I shall soon lose you." She adds, " My cousin Sarah says you are the best man she saw in Liverpool, and if you were not engaged she would set her cap at you." ( Loud laughter.) In another letter dated October, she complains, " You men are so deceitful," and assures liiin You are the first I ever loved, and I calculate you will be the last." At the same time she says she would wait as patiently as Naban did tor Rachel," could she only be sure of having him at last. •( Laughter.) Other letters in the same fervid strain were read, but a. change came over the spirit of the fair one; and, on the ' 29th of January, she penned a letter, addressed simply to " Edward" ( without the " dear"), in which she assigns the opposition of her family as the ground for breaking off the connection, and requesting him to return her letters by her friend Miss Hodgkinson. " God bless you ( said she in conclusion), and may you meet with some one who can make you far happier than I can." Immediately after the date of this letter she made Mr. Walley happy for life, by marrying him. These facts two witnesses were called to prove, after which Lord Abinger summed up. He said that though the law undoubtedly gave to a man the same right enjoyed by a woman of appealing to a . fury for repartition for injuries supposed to be inflicted by the inconstancy of a female, yet the assigning of damages in the one case and the other was a far different matter. The poet had said that love formed the sole object of a woman's existence, whilst with a man it was a mere interlude ; and, undoubtedly, in the case of a man deserted_ by a woman there were none of those sufferings, and none of those taints upon the character which in the case of an abandoned female the world often created. The plaintiff no doubt was entitled to a verdict, lint he should say that the very smallest amount of damages would satisfy the justice of the case. The J ury found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages Is. The produce of fruit is very irregular, but taking it altogether, there is a fair " hit." In some orchards the trees are loaded to such a degree, that the branches touch the ground ; while in others there is scarcely an apple to be seen. Owing to the continued dry and warm weather the apples will be small, but the cider, if not so great in quantity, will probably be of first- rate quality.— Hereford Journ. The deposit required of French newspaper proprietors, by the new law-, as security for fines, ., is no less than 8,000/. Three of the French state prisoners, who escaped from St. Pelagie, arrived in a fishing- boat at Brighton on Sunday last. A new farce, entitled My Late Friend, has been produced at the Haymarket Theatre. The object of the piece is to illustrate the character of a procastinator, one Mr. Onslow, who defers and defers until he loses a wife and thirty thousand pounds in right of a will made after the most approved and convenient fashion of farce writers. Farren represented the unlucky procastinator, and by his admirable acting secured the success of the farce, which was announced for repetition with unanimous applause. The Clonmel Advertiser gives the details of one of those cold- blooded murders which unhappily so frequently stain the domestic . history of Ireland:— On Friday morning, as Mr. Hill, under agent to Massy Dawson, Esq., was superintending fifty men, employed in stripping bark, and whilst sitting with the wood- ranger in the log- house of the glen of Aberlow, five armed men, two with their faces blackened, the other three undisguised, approached the hut door, when Mr. Hill said to them, " Well, boys, what do you want ?" One of the ruffians immediately presented his gun, but missed fire— another levelled and drove a ball through Mr. Hill's right breast, which came - out nnder the left shoulder, instantaneously depriving him of exist- ence. The miscreants shook hands with him who fired, and congra- tulated him upon his deadly aim!— he reloaded over the corpse, and then all marched off! Thursday an inquest was held at the Crown Inn, Hampton- court, before Mr. Stirling and a respectable Jury, on view of the body of Mr. Charles Thomas Nettleford, aged 59, who destroyed himself under circumstances of a peculiarly afflicting nature. Mr. Charles Harris, of Hampton, deposed that he had known the deceased a number of years. On Tuesday morning last about five o'clock, witness was walking on the bank of the Thames at Hampton, when he saw the body of the deceased floating on the surface of the water. Witness caused it to be immediately taken out: life was quite extinct, although from the appearance of the corpse it was evident that it liad not been in the water many hours. Francis Sackville, of Hamp- ton, deposed, that he had rescued the deceased from drowning on Sunday last, when the unfortunate man threw himself into the river, upon which occasion he ( deceased) expressed regret at being saved, and stated his determination to rid himself of an unhappy state of exist- ence. After other witnesses were heard the Jury returned a verdict of Temporary Derangement. The Paris papers of Tuesday and Wednesday are for ( he most part filled with the proceedings in the two Chambers. The debate in the- Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday, on the Bill for changing the majo- rity and manner of voting of juries, was long and animated- It was resumed on Wednesday, when an amendment of M. Teste, the object of which was that where a prisoner shoold be condemned for a capital offence by a majority of only 7 to 5, the- penalty next ia< seve- rity in the code should be awarded, was rejected by a majority of 19- 2 to 61. The debate was again adjourned. The Chamber of- Peers have adjourned to the end of September or middle of October, for the trial of the twenty- eight prisoners that have escaped from St. Pelagie, tend the trial of Fieschi, which will not take place for two months to come. The prisoners sentenced to various periods of imprisonment, have been conveyed under a strong escort to the old monastery of Clairvaux, now a dungeon. A number of Italians were arrested ill Paris on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and others sought for, suspected of connection with the crime of Fieschi. The following latest intelligence respecting the progress of the civil war in Spain is supplied by the correspondent of the Morning Herald:— ITURMENDI, Aug. 14.— Atlengththe Carlists have commenced ope- rations, no longer in the mountains of Navarre, but on that sacred or rather forbidden ground, Old Castile. Yet I would not have you for a moment suppose that Don Carlos has any serious intention of pushing on to Madrid, I have reason for believing that the plan of the Carlists is to destroy the army of Christina on the banks of the Ebro, and at the same time to watch the movements of her partisans in that province. Don Carlos, who commands a small division of six battalions of infantry and five squadrons of cavalry, on the 10th was at Puerto " Larra, and in the course of that day he was joined by the cavalry of Villalobos and three battalions of Catalonians. About mid-< lay Don Carlos, at the head of his column crossed the Ebro and entered Old Castile, with the intention of attacking the Christino division, commanded by General Bedoya, who occupied a strong position in the immediate vicinity ofthe forti- fied city of Pancorbo. Our guerillas commenced the attack, and, after a slight skirmish, the Queenites retreated under the walls of Pancorbo. On the 11th the Carlists had made the necessary arrangements for attacking the town, which, without being very strong, is nevertheless surrounded by a stone wall about 12 feethigh. Cordova, aware ofthe intention of Don Carlos, by forced marches, directed his route with the whole of his army to Haro, followed by Iturralde, who never for a moment loses sight of his opponent. On the evening ofthe lOtli the Carlists attacked a small foraging party of the Christinos, near Pancorbo, killed many ofthe men, and captured 15 oxen, and several casks of provisions. Between Estrella and Lagrono, a guerilla, band of Carlists stopped a Christino courier with despatches from Pampeluna. An officer who was in the carriage with the messenger was killed. A party of Christino cavalry coining up just at the moment the carriage was stopped, the Carlists, having seized . all the papers, and with the courier prisoner, recrossed the Ebro. The Christinos followed the Carlists, but. the latter being strengthened by one of their flying co- lumns, the Queenites were compelled to retreat. The army of Cordova has been considerably weakened by the ill- ness of the men, who fall down in the high road exhausted by the heat of the weAther and the fatiguing long marches. A courier, with despatches from Aoraga, brings the following intelligence:—" An insurrection broke out in Saragossa on the night of the 10th. The Constitution was proclaimed, and the Captain- General, who refused joining the people, was barbarously murdered. All the civic authorities were driven from the town, and a municipal Government established. The military were compelled to retreat into the mountains, leaving behind them all their baggage." A letter from Barcelona, dated the 9th at night, states that Valencia and Murcia are in open rebellion, and had proclaimed the Constitution. Extract of another letter:—" We have had a slight attack this morning from the Liberals. Several of the ringleaders of the pil- laging mob have been executed by order of the provisional Govern- ment. All the Christino authorities have been driven from the city." A Lyons journal contains a letter, dated Leghorn the 6th, announc- ing the death of the King of Naples, from an attack of apoplexy. There is no confirmation of this report— it appears, however, that his Majesty has been seriously indisposed. By the Dutch papers which arrived on Thursday it appears that the King was about to hold another review of the troops at the camp at Ryen ; after which he would- go to the Loo with the Royal Family, to keep his birth- day. It is contradicted that the King or the Prince of Orange will go to the Russian review at Kalisch. Prince Frederick, the second son, will, however, be present, and in somewhat of a diplo- matic character. The Dutch people continue to flatter themselves that some step will be taken by the assembled Sovereigns in their behalf in the affair with Belgium, The greatest tranquillity conti- nued to prevail at Amsterdam, and in every other part of Holland. EAST INDIES.— The Friend of India, a Calcutta payer, has the fol- lowing:—" We are informed on undoubted authority that the capital of Jynteah is now in possession of the British forces. The servants of the Rajah very lately seized upon four natives of the plain, who were British subjects, and offered three of t. hem as a sacrifice to the Kalee. The fourth escaped. That the order for the seizure of the victims came from the Rajah himself there can be no doubt. Capt. Lister, who has lately been appointed Political Agent among the Khasia tribes, in consequence of this atrocious murder, pro- ceeded on the evening of the 14th of March from Sylket with a strong detachment of the corps under his command, and getting over a distance of thirty- five miles in about twelve hours, reached the capital of Jynteah. On his arrival he informed the Rajah that he had business of importance with him, but an inter- view was delayed by many frivolous pretexts. Captain Lister at length, however, succeeded'in obtaining a meeting with him, and, havingshown his credentials, demanded the surrender of his terri- toriesinthe plains. The Rajah was little inclined to fight, and quietly complied with the request. Captain Lister has found and secured under safe custody gold and silver to the amount of nearly a lac and a half of rupees, forty- nine elephants, twelve iron guns, and between five and six hundred stand of arms of various kinds. It is supposed that the people of the country will offer no resistance. Extract of a letter from Calcutta, dated April 2:—" We have just received accounts from Delhi, of the murder of Mr. W. Fraser, the commissioner on the part of the Government in that part of the coun- try. He had been out to pay a visit, and was returning homeward on horseback, with one mounted attendant behind him. A native, also mounted, joined the attendant, and talked to him for a little time, then rode forward, and on coming up on the left side of M r. Fraser, levelled a blunderbuss and fired, when that gentleman fell instantly dead from his horse. The horse of the attendant reared at the fire and report, and threw his rider, so that the murderer escaped. On examining the body, it was found to have been struck by several slugs, and one had passed directly through the heart. Mr. Fraser was a man of daring courage, and, though a civilian, was all his life fond of partaking in military adventure. He had the official, or brevet rank of major in the regiment of First Local Horse, under command of the celebrated Colonel Skinner. CHINA.— By advices from Canton we learn that a cannon foundry had been recently established in the military ground of the provincial city, under the direction of the Governor. 11 is said that two or three hundred guns are to be cast, and some of them of a large calibre, designed for new forts which are to be built at the Bogue. Four of the outside merchants who had been for some months in prison had been released, and it was understood the others, with the pilot and linguist, would also be forthwith set at liberty. A report was current at Canton that an insurrection had broken out in Szechen. It was occasioned by the extortion of the civil Magistrates, and the military officers were the first to resent the indignities offered. The particu- lars of the extent of the insurrection had not transpired. The silk crops are stated to be much less than those of the last season.

ON Wednesday the KING held a Levee at St. . James's; and on Thursday His MAJESTY visited Kew and Richmond. On Friday, the anniversary of the KING'S Birth- day was observed with every demonstration of loyalty aud affection at Windsor. In the evening their MAJESTIES gave a grand dinner, at which Lord MELBOURNE and Lord LANSDOWNE were present. Their MAJESTIES are in excellent health. THE Irish Church Bill goes into Committee to- morrow in the House of Lords, and the Report of the Municipal Corpo- rations Bill will be brought up on Tuesday. The former was introduced to the House on Thursday by Lord MELBOURNE in a speech which fell upon the ears of the auditors " Flat, stale, and unprofitable." His Lordship begins to find, with the worthies of Newmarket, that there is a vast difference between riding a winning horse and riding a losing one— the grace and ease of attitude which charm the eye in the one case, are very unlike the earnest wriggle and shake, and twist, which characterise the disappointed and irritated jockey who finds himself headed and beaten— aud left, in the language of the Turf, to " taiV off, with scarcely a chance of even saving his distance. Not only was Lord MELBOURNE weak in his oratory, but he was wrong in his details ; and accordingly his Lordship received a just degree of correction, in a powerful speech from Lord FITZGERALD, under • which he calmly succumbed. Lord FITZGERALD most ably vindicated and justly eulogised the Irish Protestant Parochial Clergy, whose merits and virtues are entirely slurred over, or purposely kept out of sight by all the advocates of the present mischievous measure. Lord RIPON spoke forcibly against the measure in its pre- sent shape; and sat down, at the conclusion of an eloquent appeal to the feelings of the House, amidst the loudest cheers. The Bishop of EXETER expressed his sentiments not only as regards the Bill, but as to the conduct of the Govern- ment, in most energetic language; and Lord GLENELG roused himself into saying that he regretted to hear his Lord- ship express himself as he did— a fact, which nobody, we suppose, is in the slightest degree inclined to doubt. It seems the universal opinion that the Bill will be divided in the Committee of the Lords, exactly as Sir ROBERT PEEL suggested in the Commons. The Municipal Reform Bill, purged of its worst faults, has been, by the wisdom and justice ot Lord LYNDHURST, with the concurrence of the Conservative Peers, reduced to a measure which, if not actually useful to the country, ceases to be desperately dangerous. All the efforts of the faction to get up a feeling about the Bill have failed. The true friends of the people are its opponents— this the people know. The Chronicle, and the rest of that clique, have been at- tempting during the week to wreak their vengeance upon Lord LYNDHURST, by pronouncing him to have been a Radi- cal in other days. Lord LYNDIIURST certainly advocated the cause of THISTLEWOOD professionally. But we are yet to learn that a Counsellor identified himself with the principles of his client; because if such were even to be an implied case, it would be difficult for defendants in all cases, and plaintiff's in many, to obtain the assistance of Counsel. The Morning Post of Friday says— speaking of Lord LYNDHURST :— " Eminent as was tlie position occupied by Lord LYNDHURST in the estimation of his countrymen, before the late struggle in the Upper Chamber of our Parliament, there is no doubt that his recent conduct has strengthened even that position, and rendered it even more illustrious. His profound legal knowledge, his calm, yet courageous bearing, his statesmanlike comprehension of a subject, and his luminous eloquence, have fairly won for him the post of leader of the Conservative party in the House of Lords. That House has made a noble stand for the liberty of the subject, the honour of the Crown, and the integrity of the empire. Whatever may be the artful misrepresentations of the baffled Whigs, and their desperate organs, the feelings of the people of England rally round " the Peers and pillars of the State"— nor is there any one among them to whom the country is more indebted, or more grateful, than to the last— and ablest— of the Lord Chancellors of England." AVith respect to the Bill, there are different opinions as to its reception in the House of Commons upon its return thi- ther ; whatever the Minister wills, will be done, for we see that on Friday night Mr. HORACE TWISS and seven others formed the whole corps of Conservatives in the House during • the discussion of Mr. SPRING RICE'S explanation of the cause of the Appropriation Clause postponement. It seems to be the most prevalent notion that Ministers will take the Bill as it is, and be thankful. THE accounts from Spain prove, what we all along anti- cipated, that the intervention of foreign aid has hastened the crisis, and rendered the position of the QUEEN infinitely more perilous than it yet has been. The moment the brave Spaniards find that the great national question is not to be settled by themselves— not to be decided by the superior power and in- fluence of the QUEEN de facto over the KING de jure, but that the usurping Government is to be forced upon them by the bayonets of foreign mercenaries, tliey revolt from the degradation, and those who in the hope of peace have hitherto abstained from taking part in the contest, are roused to protect themselves from slavery, to be entailed upon them by the expenditure of the national resources whence Spain, improving as she has been in every way during the last few years of peace, might have secured happiness and prosperity, and been restored to her just and proper place amongst the nations of Europe. Insurrections are everywhere breaking out: Arragon, Cata- lonia, Murcia, Valencia, and part of Andalusia are in open • war against the QUEEN— a population which is calculated at upwards of four millions. Not only is the QUEEN'S power denied, but reports are spread that ' the document said to be signed by King FERDINAND, appointing her Regent during the child's minority, is a forgery. In fact, a third party has sprung up, excited by the sight of the foreigners. The death of General BAZA, is a dreadful proof of the strength of popular feeling, in the midst of which we hear that Don CARLOS has resolved upon making a decisive movement. He crossed the Ebro on the 10th, and entered Old Castile; and intends to attack Arragon. Since writing the above, we have received intelligence that Colonel EVANS and the English Legion, having made an ad- vance from Santander, had fallen into an ambuscade, in which the greater part of his force was cut to pieces, and himself killed. Another account speaks of the defeat of the troops and the capture ot Colonel eVANS, wlio was immediately shot.— We think it right, in communicating this intelligence to put our readers upon their guard against accounts w hich may be framed, without truth or feeling, to forward the interests of the stock- jobbers. There are men, and those in high places too, who cannot fail to recollect that there are such things as Spanish Bonds. We feel it due to repeat the intelligence which has been communicated to us, but we think it also light to throw out this caution as to a belief in it. _ GENTLEMEN sceptical as to the employment, upon all occa- sions, of the Members of the Tribe of Fortune, may satisfy themselves of the popularity of the Grey List, by" casting their yes against the walls of the Admiralty, where they will see posted and placarded large bills, calling upon sailors to come forward and complete the equipment of two of his MAJESTY'S ships, the CLEOPATRA and the JUPITER, both of which ships are commanded by sons ot Earl GREY, both of which sons have been promoted and made during the peace, and who never, that we know of, saw a shot fired, ex- cept at a partridge or a pheasant, while hundreds of distin- guished officers are panting and pining for service. ON Friday Mr. SPRING RICE said that " circumstances" rendered it necessary to postpone the Appropriation Clause in the Consolidated Fund Bill until next Friday. The circumstances which rendered this postponement ne- cessary, were generally understood to be the circumstances in which the Municipal Reform and the Irish Church Bills are placed in the House of Lords; and accordingly Mr. WILKS and Mr. HUME lauded the course adopted by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in holding out what appeared like a threat to the Upper House; and the latter Gentleman hoped that the order of the day would not only be postponed till Friday, but until the reasonable expectations of the people were attended to on the subject of those measures. In all this, Mr. O'CONNELL completely agreed. In reply to a powerful, straightforward attack upon the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER by Mr. GLADSTONE, the Right Hon. Gentleman explained that the postponement had nothing to do with the measures in progress, but was ren- dered necessary, inasmuch as it was not customary to vote the Appropriation Clause until the Militia Bill had passed— that Bill was still before the House of Lords ; and hence the postponement to the first day upon which it could be brought forward. Mr. HUME and Mr. WILKS talked again very much, as they had talked before, when, to use the reported words of Mr. GLADSTONE, they had " advanced atrocious and danger- ous doctrines, tending to upset all freedom and independ- ence of action in the other branch of the Legislature, which had as sound a constitutional light of judgment as that House." Mr. O'CONNELL said he loathed the slavish doctrine that would bend the people to the yoke of the Crown or the Aristocracy. He ( Mr. O'Connell) was not the vile trafficker in politics who would run a particular course in order to run the chance of selling himself at a good price to a dominant faction. What does the Honourable and Learned Gentleman con- sider the " rint," upon which he exists himself, and nourishes his satellites ? AVe cannot but think sixteen thousand a year a remarkably " good price" for his patriotic exertions. Mr. T. ATTWOOD informed the House, that at a meeting of ten thousand men, the other day, he heard one speaker say, " That such was the march of intellect, that the people would soon want neither Kings nor Lords. At the utterance of that sentiment he thought the acclamations of the ten thou- sand men would have pulled down the roof." Roof of what? In what tavern or room did these ten thousand men assemble? It is wonderful how easily deceived these patriots are, as to the numbers of their adherents. The expression of the feeling described by Mr. ATTWOOD is, however, extremely satisfactory, because it speaks distinctly the real views, intentions, and principles of the party he represents. Mr. BULWER'S motion about newspaper stamps, after a debate, was withdrawn ; and a Bill for granting compensation to Mr. BUCKINGHAM was read a first time. Since writing the above, we have discovered that Mr. SPRING RICE did not say that which appears to be the truth, when he spoke of the delay of the Militia Bill in the House of Lords— It has passed the House of Lords; and with respect to the delay which the Right Hon. Gentleman, by implication, endeavoured to fasten on the Conservative Peers— we only beg to refer MI-. SPRING RICE, for a flat contradiction of his state- ment, to Lord MELBOURNE himself, who will not, we are sure, deny the conversations which have passed on the subject between himself and the Duke of AVELLINGTON. IN the hurry of writing, we last week made a sad mis- take— to be sure, it was but in a cipher, which sometimes goes for nothing— in estimating the price of Lord AUCKLAND'S appointment as Governor- General of India. Seventy thousand a- year, and uot seven, is the expense of St. Helena, which the present economical Ministers have incurred for the country, in order to gratify, soothe, and console the Honourable Court of Leadenhallers. We see, however, that General MIDDLE- MORE, an officer of distinguished merit and long service, is appointed Governor of this new acquisition. IT is impossible for any man to shut his eyes against one of the most striking political anomalies which ever occurred, and which is now exhibiting itself in the conduct of the House of Commons, compared with its declarations and avowals. At the very moment in which the destructive faction are denouncing the power of another branch of the Legislature, they are assuming to themselves a power of tenfold magnitude, and justifying, in the highest degree, the restraint which the Constitution has so justly placed in the hands of the House of Lords. In no Session of Parliament— since the Restora- tion— have so many persons been thrown into prison by the House of Commons, as have been incarcerated during the present one; and, without venturing to question the justice of all these commitments, we may certainly instance the cases of Ipswich, Yarmouth, aud others, as bearing strong marks of rigour and severity. The House of Commons appears in all these cases to have considered that its power extends so as to compel a man not only to forfeit his word, and betray a confidence, but to violate an oath; and if in these cases this consideration has had its effect, what is to be said of the case of Colonel FAIRMAN, who, having sworn to the constitution of a loyal and Conservative body, of which he is the accredited aud confidential secretary, declines to exhibit a book which he feels it his bounden duty to withhold ? This gentleman is threatened not only with imprisonment, but with a search for his papers, and the Ser- jeant- at- Arms with his officers actually take possession of his apartments, ami remain there all night, lit the expectation of arresting him and carrying him to jail. Colonel FAIRMAN, by not returning, avoids this infliction, and on Friday Mr. HUME declares his intention to pursue the affair no further, because he believes the book cannot be found. In another case, a Committee of the House of Commons has sent down an order to a banking- house in one of our great manufacturing towns to send them up the private book of one of their customers, with a state of his accounts for several years past— although that gentleman is not before them in the character of member or candidate for the borough. The affair of PRENTICE, and of others, are too commonly known to need notice. But there is yet another affair in progress, which cannot fail to excite the most serious apprehensions. Mr. SPRING RICE, wishing to please the Tail, and the Conservative Members, in order to please themselves, not being present to hinder it, permitted the appointment of a Committee to in- vestigate the conduct of General DARLING, as Governor of New South Wales. The word investigation sounds mildly and fairly, aud when it is recollected that Lord JOHN RUS- SELL carried an instruction to the Committee not to meddle with the case of Mr. ROBISON aud his Court Martial, it might have been expected to be literally an inquiry into certain points connected with the General's administration in the colony. What is it ? It is neither more nor less than a Court trying General DARLING for a mass of crimes alleged to have been committed by him during a space of years, in- cluding, amongst others, that of murders. These charges— crude and undigested— are sustained by unsworn evidence, before unsworn judges, although in every case alluded to, wherever the conduct of General DARLING has been brought under the consideration of the Law Courts competent to try them, he has uniformly been exonerated and justified for what he did. In the present case, the prosecutor, Mr. M. O'CONNELL, selects two- thirds of the judges— he is in constant communi- cation with the witnesses for the prosecution— he forms the court, he prepares the evidence, and his first act is to produce to those judges a set of irons, professedly models of those put upon the Soldier SUDDS or THOMPSON ( we forget at the moment which). Is this justice— is this English liberty— is it endurable ? Let this be the system, and not an individual is safe in his house— not a man exists who may not, upon the motion of any Member of Parliament, and with the con- nivance of the Minister, be dragged from his house— judged by what Sir HENRY HARDINGE SO justly calls a democratic Star Chamber, and doomed to prison or to ignominy. In such a position stands General DARLING at this moment. But this is scarcely the worst part of the affair : it is impos- sible, according to appearances, that this new and astounding Tribunal can possibly get through the charges, and the evidence which is to be adduced, before the close of the Session— so that General DARLING will have to remain during the next eight or nine months under the stigma of exparte statements, every- one of which, as far as we can learn, have already been refuted. AVbat course General DARLING may think proper to adopt in this affair, we know not; but without meaning the slightest disrespect to the House of Commons, we should certainly re- commend him to refuse to plead before a tribunal which, in the shape of a Committee hearing unsworn evidence, is as in- competent to try him as a Court Martial would be to try a Bishop. England has already experienced the blessings of power concentrated in the House of Commons. The House of Peers has been, before now, degraded, and then abolished. What followed need not be repeated; but having had that expe- rience, we presume ( hose who would rather not witness the repetition of the scenes to which we allude, will feel that if ever a time existed in which the Upper House of Parliament should be maintained and supported in the constitutional exercise of their wisely- granted privileges, that time is the present. THE exemplary Sheriff of London is unseated, with his . colleague, as Member for Carlow— a circumstance which we are inclined to believe is by no means gratifying to a gentle- man who has spent some seven or eight thousand pounds for the honour of sitting for about as many weeks in the present House of Commons. Mr. FOWELL BUXTON says that the- connoisseurs treat this ejection facetiously, and say that it was impossible for anybody, who understands the canvtis, not to detect the difference between RAPHAEL and CARLOW DOLCE. WE beg to call the attention of our readers generally, and most particularly that of some of them, to the following speech delivered by WHITGIFT, Archbishop of Canterbury, to Queen ELIZABETH, immediately after a controversy which accidentally arose between his Grace and the Earl of LEICESTER in her Majesty's presence. The Earl was the great patron of the Dissenters of the Geneva School, aud wished to enrich himself by the spolia. tion of the Bishoprics; " but," as WALTON says, in his Life of Richard Hooker, whence the speech in question is extracted, " the Queen's im- plicit confidence in the Archbishop was not to be shaken; she always looked upon him with reverence and affection, and continued to entrust to his management all ecclesiastical affairs, notwithstanding the continued hostility of the Earl of LEICESTER and other powerful opponents; and finally, he was the greatest comfort to her soul on her death- bed:" " I beseech your Majesty," said the Archbishop, " to hear me with patience and to believe that your's and the Church's safety are dearer to me than my life, but my conscience dearer than both j and therefore give me leave to do my duty, and tell you that Princes are deputed nursing fathers of the Church, and owe it a protection; and therefore GOD forbid that you should be so much as passive in her ruin, when you may prevent it; or that I should behold it without horror and detestation ; or should forbear to tell your Majesty of the sin and danger. And though you and mysfelf are born in an age of frailties, when the primitive piety and care of Church's lands and immunities are much decayed; yet ( Madam let me beg that you will but first consider, and then you will be- lieve there are such sins as Prophaneness and Sacrilege; for if there were not, they could not have names in holy Writ: and particu- larly in the New Testament. And I beseech you to consider that though our Saviour said, He judged no man; and to testify it. would not judge nor divide the inheritance betwixt the two brethren, nor would judge the woman taken in adultery, yet in this point of the- Church's rights he was so zealous that he made himself both the accuser and the judge and the executioner to punish these sins; witnessed in that he himself made the whip to drive the prophaners out of the Temple, overthrew the tables of the money- changers, and August 2.9J JOHN BULL. 260 drove them out of it. And consider that it was St. Paul who said to those Christians of his time, that were offended with idolatry, yet4' Thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege ?" Sup- posing, I think, sacrilege as great a sin. This may occasion your Majesty to consider that there is such a sin as sacrilege; and to incline you to prevent the curse that will follow it. I beseech you also to consider, that Constantine, the first Christian emperor, and Helena his mother; that King Edgar, and Edward the Con- fessor, and indeed many other of your predecessors, and many private Christians, have also given to GOD and to his Church much land, and many immunities, which they might have given to those of their own families, and did not; but gave them as an absolute right and sacrifice to God; and with these immunities and lands they have entailed a curse upon the alienators of them-, GOD PREVENT YOUR MAJESTY FROM BEING LIABLE TO THAT CURSE. " And, to make yon that are trusted with their preservation the better to understand the danger of it: I beseech you to forget not, that, besides these curses, the Church's land and power have been also endeavoured to be preserved, as far as human reason and the law of this nation have been able to preserve them, by an immediate and most sacred obligation on the consciences of the Princes of this realm. For they that consult Magna Charta shall find, that as all your pre- decessors were at their coronation, so you also were sworn before all the Nobility and Bishops then present, and in the presence of God, and in his stead to him that annoinled you, to maintain the Church- lands, and the rights belonging to it; and this testified openly at the holy altar, by laying your hands on the Bible then lying upon it. And not only Magna Charta, but many modern statutes, have denounced a curse upon those that break Magna Charta. And now what account can be given for the breach of this oath at the last great day, either by your Majesty, or by me, if it be wilfully or but negligently violated, I know not. " And therefore, good Madam, let not the late Lord's exceptions against the failings of some few Clergymen prevail with you to punish posterity for the errors of this present age ; let particular men suffer for their particular errors, but let Gon and his Church have their right: and though I pretend not to prophesy, yet I beg posterity to take notice of what is become visible in many families: that Church- land added to an ancient inheritance, hath proved like a moth fretting a garment, and secretly consumed both: or like the eagle that stole a coal from the altar, and thereby set her nest on fire, which con- sumed both her young eagles, and herself that stole it. And though I shall forbear to speak reproachfully of your father: yet, I beg you take notice, that a part of the Church's rights, added to the vast treasure left him by his father, hath been conceived to bring an un- avoidable consumption upon both, notwithstanding all his diligence to preserve it. " And consider, that after the violation of those laws, to which he had sworn in Magna Charta, GOD did so far deny him his restraining grace, that he fell into greater sins than I am willing to mention. Madam, religion is the foundation and cement of human societies: and, when they that serve at God's altar shall be exposed to poverty, then religion itself will be exposed to scorn, and become contemptible: as you may already observe in too many poor vicarages in this nation. And therefore, as you are by a late Act, or Acts, entrusted with a great power to preserve or waste the Church's lands; yet, dispose of them, for Jesus'sake, as the donors intended: let neither falsehood, nor flattery beguile you to do otherwise, and put a stop [ I beseech you] to the approaching ruins of GOD'S Church; as yon expect com- fort at the last great day; for Kings must be judged. Pardon this affectionate plainness, my most dear Sovereign, and let me beg to be still continued in your favour; and the LORD still continue you in his." This manly, Christian- like, and forcible appeal to the Mo- narch, is so precisely applicable to the circumstances of the present day, that we gladly avail ourselves of the opportunity of contributing to its general circulation, for which purpose it has been published, at the lowest possible price, by Messrs. ROAKE and VARTY, in the Strand. WE very much regret to perceive that any opposition is offered to the Islington Market Bill. We speak simply upon public grounds ; and certainly nothing can be more desirable, as far as the convenienceof the City of London, and, we should say, the safety of its inhabitants go, than that Smithfield mar- ket, which, when established, was as rural as the proposed Islington market is now, should be abolished. Nothing can be more odious than the collection of beasts, and their drivers, in the very centre of the metropolis, except the system of driv- ing those beasts through the streets to the market. To render the Islington market complete in its effect, there should be slaughter- houses erected in it, where the beasts should be killed, and thence transferred to the retail butchers' shops. Anybody who has seen or smelt Warwick- lane, and that neighbourhood, must be fully aware that the perils of driving bullocks about a populous city, are not the only perils which accrue to the community ; the filth and stench of the slaugh- ter- houses in the City of London are enough to create a pesti- lence, especially in such a season as we have this year en- dured. So far from opposing the Islington Market Bill, it is the duty of all legislators who really care for the comfort and safety of the people, and not for their own dirty interests, to advocate its establishment, and the establishment of three other similar markets— one at Paddington, one at Stratford, and a third at Kennington, or its vicinity— so that Loudon might be supplied with provisions, while its streets might be kept free from the annoyance, and, we repeat, danger to which all classes of passengers are subjected by the driving of oxen through the streets. We suppose Islington is safe— because, in addition to all the respectable part of the House of Lords who are in its favour, TOMKINS upholds it. WE have received a mass of letters and intelligence from the West Indies, and we must say, never did we read accounts less satisfactory, or worse calculated to calm the apprehensions which everybody conversant with colonial affairs invariably • entertained with respect to the mad scheme, to complete which, the country has to pay twenty millions of money, and the CHANCELLOR ofthe EXCHEQUER has gratified Mr. ROTHS- CHILD and the money- sellers with a thing unheard of and unknown for years and years, a Loan !— a job— a Stock Ex- change job. We shall make selections from the Colonial papers and letters of our correspondents, to show the state of things in the liberalised settlements. We begin with the charge of the Judge at the last Assizes, in order to show that crime has increased with liberty. That eminent person said:—• " Gentlemen ofthe Grand Jury, " In the calendar before me there is no case which appears to require any particular observation from the Court. It, therefore, is not necessary for me to detain you from the discharge of your duties. At the same time I cannot help expressing the regret of the Court, at the great increase of crime; what it arises from 1 do not fcnoir. It will be your duty to take such steps as yon may think proper from the circumstances which may come to your knowledge, to prevent this increase of crime. These observations are all I feel it necessary to make to you, and you will retire to your room, when the bills will be sent to you." His Honour, or his Lordship, or whatever he may be, pro- fesses ignorance of the cause of this increase of crime. Justice, they say, ought to be blind. It needs no great stretch of visual or other ability to see that profligacy and idleness have taken the place of industry and sobriety; and that, as we shall presently show, the Colonies are hourly aud daily de- scending to that state to which we always knew they must eventually fall. The Kingston Chronicle of the 9th of July says:— We do trust every conscientious attorney, manager, and over- seer will forward by this packet attested statements of the falling off in the crops— the mispolicy of the system— and of the partial and unjustifiable exactions which press upon the planter. The British public have been grossly deceived, aud it is high time the truth was made manifest. The following we recommend to the notice of Lord AUCK- LAND:— Unless prompt aud energetic remonstrances are ponred in upon Government by the friends of the West India interest to avert the equalization of the sugar duties, it is plain that the whole revenue of these beautiful colonies will speedily be sacrificed on the shrine of East Indian avarice, and the British public will find too late that a source of inestimable commerce and benefit to the English nation has been resigned into the hands of the enemy, who, by this unnatu- ral act of political suicide, will be enabled to plunder Great Britain of her wealth and glory, and lay prostrate all the foundations of national prosperity and " improvement which have for ages engaged the wisdom of the Senator and the skill of the warrior to protect. The property and institutions of the country are now threatened on all sides, and nothing but the most extraordinary exertions on the part of the Conservatives can save them from utter destruction. We trust, however, the emergency of the crisis will awaken correspond- ing zeal and activity, and that by a general re- action of popular spirit we shall be spared the increased calamity of revolutionary sway. Mr. ISAINES a Magistrate, has been shot at. tjpon which the Chronicle observes :— We trust the Governor will at last find out that prompt and deci- sive measures are requisite to check effectually the daring spirit of insubordination. Now that one of his favourite Stipendaries has been fired at, he will perhaps findout that it is not altogether political to jeopardize the lives and property of his Majesty's liege subjects for the mere purpose of conciliating the good humour of idle, refractory, and rebellious negroes. Again:— A recent traveller from St. James's has informed us that the state of that beautiful parish is absolutely heart- breaking. The rank luxuriance of the weeds where the canes were wont to flourish is truly deplorable, and the distressed and disheartened planter views with sad and tearful eye the miserable desolation which surrounds him with mournful anticipations, and without power to remedy or counteract the spreading mischief which blights his prospects and destroys his hopes. The following letter is somewhat indicative of the prevalent feeling:— THE SYSTEM, WORSE AND WORSE. To the Editor of the Jamaica Despatch and New Courant. Sir,— So bad is the system working, that even former advocates for Lord MULURAVE and his followers see now it won't do 1 The present Governor is trying to deceive his employers. At the last vestry in this parish his ipse dixit was produced, that the horses of appren- tices should not be taxed! I like this. The Governor is not law- maker yet, but Chief Magistrate to administer the law, < fec. Who ever heard of a labouring field apprentice being able to keep a horse, but in the fVest'. This Governor will tell you, when anything is to be gained to the black, that after his hours of labour are performed he is free: if so, why then, as a free man, keeping a horse, eating gratis his master's grass, is he not to pay the tax for such horse ? Is it because he is a black man? I thought " all complexional distinc- tions were done away with!" How long will the Jamaica people suffer ridiculous humbug and ruinous imposition ? Are they not sufficiently abused and trampled on to awake them ? Let there be County Meetings, to take into consideration the state of the country, and its future prospects. The shipments of 1833 and 1834, contrasted with 1835 and 1836, will show the melancholy truth— but unfortunately too late! Added to the Sectarians, we have now Bible Carrier Emissaries— plausible enough in appearance, although of Mawworm countenances. Let the people of Jamaica put down in their book in large letters— " He that is notfor us is against us." Those itinerant Bible Merchants could not live at home, so they come here to make a trade, and pitiful bargain- making of religion!!! Let the negro be first taught habits of honesty and industry, before you place a work full of metaphor and allegory in his hands", to con- fuse his obtuse understanding. All these proceedings, and this system of ami- de- noirship, will not only ^ estroy cultivation, but ultimately the negro himself, whom the pretence is to serve! Ninety- nine estates out of a hundred are going fast to destruction! Irre- trievable ruin will be the consequence, if we do not meet and UNITE. Remember the bundle of sticks !! Trelawny, June 24, 1835. A PROPRIETOR. Upon the subject of religious instruction, much information may beobtainecl from the following account of the course pur- sued by certain efficient persons connected with the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. We give the words ver- batim from the Jamaica paper, without stopping to notice an allusion, which, even supposing it accidental, is to us, knowing what we do know, extremely curious:— We are trnly happy to find that the public humbug— at least as it is now carried on— is beginning to be understood. The English Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, we believe to be most con- scientiously sincere in their anxiety to propagate the word of the Lord; but the agents they employ in foreign parts have very different views upon the subject. We know that " TONS" of the Holy Scriptures have been forwarded here by those connected with the Church Esta- blishment, for distribution by Sectarian Preachers; and their zeal in this holy cause is most praiseworthy! The Scriptures have been paid for at home, and before they are distributed to the Heathens of Ja- maica, they must be paid for a second time, for the benefit and encou- ragement of those who avowedly came out here toconverttheHeathen ! The Bishop of London, and other long lawn sleeved magnates of the Church, may contribute their thousands for the propagation of the Gospel; and in this measure we believe them to be sincere ; but their consignment of God's word being made to Methodists and Baptists, the most casual observer must understand that they are only fur- nishing the enemies of the Church and State with the means of laughing at their credulity, while they convert the word of God into an engine of rebellion !! If the people of England are sincere in their desire to evangelize our Heathens, let the volumes of the sacred law be consigned to those who will not dare to consider each volume as a dollar's worth!! Let the consignments be henceforth made to the Established Clergy, and the poor shall receive God's word gratu- itously. We must conclude these extracts, but not until we give our readers the two articles which follow:— To the Editor of the Jamaica Dispatch and New Conrant. Sir— We hear from time to time, through the medium of your widely- circulated Journal, of the idleness and inadequate labour per- formed by the apprentices in the different parts of the island. The following will show you and the Governor, if he will believe it, how very hard they work in this quarter:— A jobber, with a gang of twenty able negroes, agreed to plant five acres of canes for 71. Now, Mr. Editor, the same work was easily done, before the 1st of August, in four days ! How long do you sup- pose they took to do it, in these days of idleness and hypocrisy ? Will it be believed that they took eight weeks and three days 1!— and this, under the superintendence of an experienced planter. The above can be authenticated on oath, if you wish it Blue- Mountain Valley, June 4, 1834. A PLANTER. And now comes the climax :— What we have long predicted has come to pass— that the new system would not work, and that our ships would be going home in ballast for want of produce to load them; and every one who has a stake in the country, and who is not interested in continuing a system of delusion for the basest purpose, must admit it. It will be seen from the extracts which we have given from the- Northside papers, that a London ship has taken her departure from Montego Bay in ballast, and we are afraid many more will be simi- larly situated before the end of this year! We beg very particularly to call the attention of the Marquess of SLIGO to this very painful circumstance, as well as to the proceedings of the St.. James's Emi- gre t'on Society, his Honour the Custos, who is one of the Members of Assembly for the parish, being in the chair. Such a statement of the non- working of the system is unanswerable, as it exhibits our altered condition in too vivid colours ! The Marquess of SLIGO is a Whig; his party first robbed the colonists, and, not satisfied with the perpe- tration of one wrons, are now endeavouring, by everv means in their power, to deprive us of the little that is left to us. The Stipendiary Magistrates, at least many of them, instead of encouraging the ap- prentices to the performance of their duty, make them their pets, and coax them to prefer continual complaints against their masters for no purpose that we are aware of, except that they may have an op- portunity of exhibiting their philanthropy towards the blacks, while they disregarded the starvation so common among the lower classes in the Mother- Country, particularly in Ireland. This sort of hu- manity is, however, now at a discount, as the motive of its exercise is as well understood as the conduct of many who joined in the hue and cry against slavery, merely because their interests were pro- moted by their hypocrisy !—' The people of England will soon find, to their cost, that Jamaica has ceased to be a valuable appendage to the empire." We could fill column after column with proofs of the total- failure of the apprentice system, and the certain destruction of our West India Colonies : these are, however, enough to open the eyes of those who have been deluded into permitting the extravagant waste of twenty millions of money at a time of profound peace, for the purpose— as we have already said— of destroying the property of England, and the prosperity ofher once valuable possessions, superadded to the advantages to be derived by jobbing, to the paupers who advocated the measure. Of Lord SLIGO'S absurdities and inconsistencies, we hope next week to give a somewhat elaborated exposure; but, what does it signify?— the mischief is done. Like the inroads of the Reform Bill— like the attempts on the Municipal Cor porations, and the Irish Church— every hour these reckless Ministers are in office sweeps away some right, some benefit, some advantage from the country. Hanging the Cabinet on one gibbet, twelvemonths hence, would do no good— prevention is always better than cure ; and it is the consideration of the destruction which is going on at home and abroad, that leads us to hope that the KING— who cannot fail to see the mis- chief that threatens the State in all its relations, the Constitu- tion, the Church, and if the Church, the Throne— will again drive from his councils a set of men, now become either odious or contemptible in the eyes of the whole country. The People — his MAJESTY' may rely upon it— are prepared to send to Parliament, in case of a dissolution, enough honest, consti- tutional representatives to defeat the lost Lord MELBOURNE, and his masters— the Irish Papists ! THE Western Rail- road affair excites great interest in the House, and a good deal of conversation out of it. A corres- pondent of ours— not Mr. DONLAN— begs to know if we can account for the assiduous attention of Lord TEYNHAM upon the Committee, inasmuch as it is imagined his Lor dship has no great deal of property, out of his vast estates, likely to be injured or benefitted by the proposed change of line which the road is to take. Lord MONTFORD, we are told, has not been so constant in his attendance, which equally surprises us, if all we hear be true. THF. following seems to us one of the most equivocal and doubtful paragraphs we have ever seen in a newspaper:— " In a report made by Mr. RENNIE, of the effects produced on the Thames by the removal of London Bridge, it is stated that the drainage of the districts bordering on the River has been greatly improved ; that barges, which used formerly to be towed up from Putney to Richmond by horses, are now carried by the current in one tide; and that the fall of water has been so considerable as to cause ships in many instances to ground in their tiers." The advantages derivable from the rapid transit of the barges to Richmond, appear to be counteracted by the effects pro- duced upon the shipping below : so that we are rather at a loss to conjecture whether the removal of the old bridge is a benefit or an evil to the navigation. All we know is, that to look at, there is nothing in the metropolis so splendid or so beautiful as that same bridge, with its different approaches and accessories. THE following letter from Prague is highly interesting:—- " PRAGUE, Aug. 5. " Here, as elsewhere, the news of the murderous attempt on the life of Louis Philippe has excited the strongest sensation, and in- voluntarily turns the eyes of the public to tne exiled royal family, which, only five years ago, was a victim to the same hatred of the revolutionary party. What I have learnt, from a source that may be relied upon, respecting the impression that the news made on the royal exiles residing among us is as follows:— Charles X. and the Princes of the family have expressed their utter detestation of the baseness of such an assassination, and the wickedness of those who could share such a means to attain their object; and the old King, the moment he received the intelligence, exclaimed, ' I am certain beforehand, and I console myself with the conviction, that no legi- timist can have conceived the idea of such a crime.' " This is a remarkable speech in the mouth of him who must be con- sidered as the most, natural representative of Royalist sentiments. The Puchess of Angouleme was also deeply affected by the idea of the feelings which must have torn the heart of the Queen of the French as a wife and a mother, and testified in the most affecting expressions her sympathy with that Princess." CHARLES THE FIFTH. One of the most attractive works which ever appeared has just been published by BENTLEY, under the title of The Career of Don Carlos since the Death of Ferdinand the Seventh. Every page, every line of it is full, not only of the deepest interest, but of the strongest proofs of the justice of the cause of that much injured Monarch— injured too, by such a thing as our JOHN HENRY Lord Viscount PALMERSTON ! !! I f it were possible to give an abstract, a precis, of the whole work, we should be but too happy— as it is not, we have resolved to devote a very large space in our columns to- day to one chapter of it, with very few omissions— we mean that chap- ter which treats of his MAJESTY'S escape from what, before were always considered by Monarchs in distress, the friendly shores of England. It presents a vivid picture of things which have been done here, in our own metropolis and its vicinity, within the last few months. It has all the effect of romance combined with all the genuineness of truth. We make no apology for the length of our extract— it is a fair specimen of the whole work, which is from the pen of the Baron de los VALLES, one of his Majesty's Aides- de- Camp, well translated by Mr. MERLE :— When Charles V. left Evora to proceed to England, in consequence of - the disgraceful treaty of the quadruple alliance, be perceived in the cautious protection granted to him by the English Government, a means of returning to his dominions; where he was anxiously expected, in the heart of the mountains of Navarre, by a small army 280 JOHN BULL, August 30. STOCk EXCHANGE — SATURDAY. The Settlement of the Consol Account took place on Thursday, without defalcation, aud with little notice. The fluctuation since the last Account day has not been of any material moment. Within the last few days the English Ftinds have exhibited an appearance of great stability, and the firm attitude of the House of Peers has as- sured the Monied Interest that the nation is not to be delivered up to the tender mercies of revolutionary theorists or needy adventurers, and that the Constitution will not be suffered to be knocked on the head, because a knot of brawling and beggarly anarchists expect to profit bv the consequent confusion. Consols for Money are at and for the Account at 90, and the Oinniun is at . In the Foreign Market the speculation has been upon a minor scale, and chiefly confined to Spanish Securities; the closing price of the Bonds this afternoon was 40M 5K, and the Scrip left off at 19 dis. In Portuguese little business has been done, the Five per Cents, closed at 86, and the Three per Cents, at 55U- The recognition of the independence of the South American Re- publics, which has now been resolved on by the Spanish Govern- ment, has had no effect on the various Securities ; Columbian Bonds are heavy at 30% ; Chilian are 38 to 39, and Peruvian 26) 4. All our Norther n Bonds are nearly as last quoted ; Russian Bonds are 109& ; Dntch Five per Cents are 101 % ; the Two- and- a- Halfper Cents are 53& h % 5 and the Belgian Five per Cents are 100X 1. Altogether the Foreign Stock Market has been exceedingly listless throughout the we ek. HOUSE OF LORDS.— SATURDAY. Earl Shaftesbury took his seat on the woolsack at twelve o'clock. " The only Peers present were Earl Shaftesbury, Earl Radnor, Earl Farnham, and the Bishop of Bristol.— The Glass Duties Bill went through Committee.— The Capital Punishments Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. A message from the Commons brought up the Slave Trade ( Sar- dinia) Bill, the Slave Trade ( Denmark) Bill, and the Registration of Voters ( Ireland) Bill, which were severally read a first time. The Colonial Passengers' Bill was read a third time, and passed. The Islington Market Bill, on the motion of the Marquess of SALIS- BURY, was read a third time, and passed. HOUSE OF COMMONS.— SATURDAY. The SPETKER took the chair at 12.— Mr. BARING brought up the Reports of the Committee of Supply.— The Stamps and Assessed Taxes Bill was read a third time.— Mr. BARING brought up the Report of the Oaths Abolition Bill.— The Shannon Navigation Bill went through Committee after some discussion on the preamble, Which was objected to by two or three Hon. Members, but the prin- ciple of which was defended by the Chancellor of the Exchequer and a large number of other Hon. Members, as, although it did in some measure pledge the Government to raise half of the sum re- quired for the execution of this work, the money would not be granted until the estimates had been fully made out to the satisfactiQn of the Commissioners. A verbal amendment to the preamble was at length agreed to, and the Report ordered to be brought up on a future day. Mr. S. RICE rose to move for leave to bring in a Bill to amend an Act of the 3d and 4th years of his present Majesty, for the relief of owners of Tithes in Ireland. He said that the Irish Church Bill, having been abandoned by the Government, on the ground that in its present state it did not come up to the principles of the resolutions which had been agreed to by that House—( Hear)— the Government had thought it inconsistent with its duty to proceed further with the Bill, and it did not appear by the Lords' minutes thatany individual in another place meant to take it up. The Hon. Member stated the object of the Bill. There was no intention to remit one farthing. ( Hear.) But it was merely intended in urgent cases to allow of the suspension of payment. After a short discussion, leave was granted to bring in the Bill. It was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday. The Lords' amendments to several Bills were then agreed to, and the other orders of the day having been disposed of, the House ad- journed until Monday. The Parig papers of Thursday are chiefly occupied with the dis- cussion in the Chamber of Deputies of the Bill against the Press, the first clause of which was passed on that day, without even a division. The other domestic intelligence in these papers possesses little in- terest. Louis Philippe left Paris on Wednesday night for Fontainbleau, where he was expected to stay two or three days. The intelligence from Barcelona continues to represent that city as delivered up to the most frightful state of disorder. An insurrec- tionary movement has also taken place in Seville. The convents have been burnt to the ground— a junta of the Government has been established, and the Magistrates named by Christina have been • deposed. fWe learn by German papers that the King of Prussia's journey to Kaliscli had been delayed by indisposition— his Majesty, had, how- ever, recovered, and set out for that place. Advices from Constantinople to the 5th inst. mention the appoint- ment of Ahmed Pacha to the chief command of the army o f Alba- nia. It was rumoured that the Capudan Pacha, on the other hand, would shortly put to sea with the whole fleet, and a corps of the army - on board, to make a bold attack on Egypt. Preparations were in pro- gress for the departure of that officer, and Namik Pacha, the late " Turkish Ambassador in London, was to be his locum tenens. Forty more transports, full of troops, had sailed from Tophane, with in- structions to rendezvous at Rhodes, but whether intended to act against Albania or Egypt was not known. A large body of militia was raising in Constantinople, and recruits for the regular army were arriving every day in tnat city, from all quarters of the empire. The Earl of Brecknock, only son of the Marquess Camden was married on Thursday, at Bromley Palace, to Miss Murray, eldest daughter of the Bishop of Rochester. . Major Fitzgerald of the 8th Foot, quartered in Spanish Town, Jamaica, died of fever there before the last packet sailed; he is the second officer who has died of it; the mortality in the regiment had been very great.
