Every department of Drury Lane Theatre is in activity, preparing the new opera, by Balfe, for Madame Malibran, who is expected to arrive about the 2d of May. Madame Malibran it is said will ap- pear as Esmeralda. The new Easter piece at Covent Garden continues to attract good audiences, and bids fair to fully indemnify the management for the expense bestowed upon its production. Astley's— the favourite place of entertainment— opened its cam- paign with one of those gorgeous equestrian spectacles for which it has been so long and so justly celebrated. The Great Fire of Lon- don and the Great Plague are the events of which Mr. Ducrowbas availed himself on the occasion ; and although little can be said in favour of the plot— which commences with the plague and ends with the fire— it may be justly pronounced one of the most splendid spec- tacles ever produced on the English stage.

SOUTH WARWICKSHIRE CONSERVATIVE DINNER.— The first general annual meeting of the Association took place at Warwick on Wed- nesday last, and was numerously attended by persons of the highest rank an influence in the county. The chair was taken by Lord Willoughby de Broke, the President of the Association, who - was assisted by Sir J. Mordaunt, Bart., M. P., and the Hon C. B. Percy. Amongst the company wete Lord Lifford, Col. Miller, J. M. Boultbee, Esq., J. B. Leigh, Esq., B. Granville, Esq., George Lucy, Esq., J. Townsend, Esq., H. C. Wise, Esq., E. Byron, Esq., J.

Boudier, Lord Viscount Lifford, and Sir Mordaunt, addressed the company in eloquent speeches, after " which, the company separated. EARTHQUAKE IN CHINA.— The Dutch papers say that intelligence had been received by the way of Valparaiso from China, but without date, stating that the city of Pekin had been destroyed by an earth- quake. There are but few particulars given, but 100,000 houses are said to have been swallowed up, and the site which they occupied was covered by a lake of a dark colour. Our own last advices from Canton contained nothing of this dreadful visitation, if true; but as Pekin is a long way to the North, that does not conclude as to its impossibility. We need hardly say that Pekin is the capital and residence of the Emperor. It'is said, by travellers, to contain a population of 3,000,000, so that even tho destruction of 100,000 houses, • which, at eight persons to each, would not cause the disappearance of the whole place. Pekin is much subject to earthquakes. In 1731 it was visited by one which buried 100,000 persons under the ruins of the houses.— llcratd. The Recorder on Saturday, at the Central Criminal Court, sen- tenced Robert Salmons who was convicted of the manslaughter of Capt. M'Kenzie, by the administration of Morison's pills, to pay a fine of 2001. to the King. The fine was immediately paid, and the prisoner discharged. Mr. Barnes, one of the Presidents of the General Post- office, was tried at the Central Criminal Court on four several indictments, charging him with purloining letters containing petty sums of money, and in each case the Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty, his de- fence being, that he never received money without transmitting it to the proper authorities ; but if such a circumstance had occurred it • was unintentional, and could only have arisen from pressure of bu- siness. It was unlikely, he said; that a person in the receipt of 500/. a- year would risk the loss of his situation and the happiness of his family for the paltry sums alleged to have been stolen by him. A SEASONABLE HINT TO THE FAIR!— Were the beauties of this country as sensibly alive to the blessings of health, as to following the caprices of fashion and the temptationot pleasure, it would enable them to rival a " Ninon" at her age. Health does not constitute beauty, but beauty is the child of health, and cannot exist without nurture, and the great secretof possessing it to a distant period, is the artofpre- serving it; therefore, our fair islanders should be careful of their teeth, as adding a lustre to their countenance, by a contrast of the lily and the rose. This is only to be acquired by the use of Rowland's justly celebrated Odonto or Pearl Dentifrice, which renders them like the oriental jewel, in brilliance of enamel, imparting a ruby lustre to the gums, which become firm and insensible to cold, and the breath exhaling a fragrance around, dissipating the idea of mortal decay. NAPLES SOAP.— J. and E. Atkinson, perfumers, beg respectfully to recommend to gentlemen who use Naples Soap, a very choice article just imported, perfumed with the flowers of the rose, and will be sold at a very small advance on the usual prices. They have also some equally fine perfumed 4 l'Orange, au Cedrat, and various other perfumes. As Naples soap, when fine and genuine, is beyond com- ' panson the best of all articles for shaving, they can with confidence recommend that which they import, it being procured from the best manufacturer in Naples, without limit to price.— N. B. Superior ohanng brushes, warranted.— Perfumery warehouse, 24, Old Bond- street, February 1st. PARLIAMENTARY ANALYSIS. HOUSE OF LORDS. TUESDAY. Their Lordships met this day, pursuant to adjournment. The LORD CH ANCELLOR intimated that he had prepared two Bills respecting the business of the Court of Chancery, and the powers of the Lord Chancellor in that House, and that he should bring them under the consideration of their Lordships next week. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY presented a Bill, the object of which was the prevention in future of pluralities, and also to provide more effectually for the payment of Curates. Lord DUNCANNON then moved the second reading of the Irish Con- stabulary Bill, upon which an interesting debate took place, in which the Earl of HADDINGTON, the Duke of WELLINGTON, the Earl of WICKLOV, < frc., took part. His Grace contended that it would cause an increased expenditure of 200,0001. a year, and observedthat their Lordships ought to be well convinced of the benefits which would ' accrue Irom this force, before they adopted such a System. His ' Grace felt a great objection— an objection which would be also strongly felt in the country— to the enormous appointments which | were at once to take place— upwards of 100, at salaries of 3001., 4001., - 5001., and so on, though hitherto the police force had been carried on . at half that expense.— Lord MELBOURNE defended the Bill; after > which it was read a second time, without opposition, but it was dis- > tinctly intimated that unless very important alterations should be 5 made in Committee a similar forbearance must not be expected in a . subsequent stage of the Bill.— Adjourned. WEDNESDAY. , Their Lordships did not meet this day. THURSDAY. Earl GREY took his seat foil the first time this Session. The Duke of CUMBERLAND presented a petition from the Corpora- tion of Dublin against the Irish Municipal Corporations Bill.— ' Several petitions were presented by the Bishops of LONDON and CHESTER, in favour of some measure to provide for the better observ- ance of the Sabbath. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY referred to a letter written by Lord J. Hay to Cordova, and inquired whether it was an authorised letter? and if so, whether there would be any objection to produce it ?— Lord MELBOURNE said that it was an authorised letter— that he doubted not that there was a copy of it at the Admiralty; and that in such case there would be no objection to its production. The Marquess of LONDONDERY then asked whether there had been any answer received to Lord Palmerston's letter of March, ; regarding the 27 Carlist prisoners ?— Lord MELBOURNE answered in ' th& affirmative, adding that the documents would be laid before ' Parliament. ' The Marquess of LONDONDERRY adverted to the outrage com- mitted in Dublin in the destruction of the fine statue of William III., and inquired whether the Government had adopted measures ! to discover the perpetrators ?— Lord MELBOURNE answered in the > affirmative, 1001. reward having been offered.— The Marquess of LONDONDERRY complained of the smallness of the sum. On the motion that the Municipal Corporations Act Amendment I Bill be read a second time, Lord LYNDHURST proposed, on account ' of the multifarious interests involved in the Bill, and its different pro- visions, that it be referred to a Select Committee. This was agreed to, and the Committee named.— Adj. t FRIDAY. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY renewed his motion for copies of ! the instructions transmitted to Lord John Hay from the Lords Com- i missioners of the Admiralty, and upon the authority of which the i letter of that Noble Lord had been written.— Lord MELBOURNE • declined aaceding to the motion, though what he had stated on the previous evening had left a very general impression on the minds of • Noble Lords that he did not intend to oppose the production of the " paper.— After some discussion— in the course of which, the Premier said that if the House insisted on the production of these instructions, 1 they would be declaring themselves partisans of Don Carlos— the I Marquess of LONDONDERRY consented not to press his motion. After a conversation of some length on the subject of the report of a Committee of the House of Commons on Railway Bills, it was understood that the further consideration of the matter was postponed till Monday. The Marquess of CnNRiC4RDE then moved the second reading of the Stafford Disfranchisement Bill.— Lord LYNDHURST proposed that Counsel be heard at the bar on behalf of those who were opposed to the Bill, which was, after some conversation, agreed to, and their Lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY. The Marquess of CHANDOS intimated his intention of bringing forward the subject of agricultural distress on the 22d of this month. The Tithe Commutation Bill was committed, pro forma, and ordered to be re- committed on Wednesday. The House having gone into Committee of Supply, Sir A. L. HAY moved the Ordnance estimates, which were agreed to. Sir G. SINCLAIR wished to ask the Noble Lord the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he had received any information of the gross and detestable outrage that had been perpetrated in the city of Dublin in the blowing up of the statue of King William? (" Hear, hear," and laughter from the Ministerial side of the House.) That statue had long been preserved as a memorial of the glorious, pious, and immortal memory of that Monarch who had done so much for these countries, and who would ever live in the best affections of the Pro- testants of that country.— Lord MORPETH begged to say that he had received no official details on the subject. Lord HOWICK then rose to move the Army Estimates. To several items Mr. Hume took objections. The House divided on the motion " that a sum not exceeding 106,2111. 6s. 8d. be granted for the sup- port of the volunteer corps"— ayes, 53; noes, 9. The Stamp Acts' Consolidation Bill was, after some observations by Mr. HUME, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and Mr. S. O'BRIEN, read a second time, and ordered to be committed on the 29th inst. TUESDAY. A considerable portion of the evening's sitting was occupied with railroad and other private Bills. Mr. POULTER moved the second reading of the Bill relating to the municipal elections in the borough of Poole.— Mr. WYNN repeated his objections to the unconstitutional nature of the measure, but, having declined to divide the House, the Bill was read a second time. Mr. EWART then moved for leave to bring in a Bill to provide for the equal division of landed property among the children or next of kin of persons dying intestate.— Mr. HUME supported the motion.— Mr. TOOKE opposed it, as an attack upon the institutions of the country, and especially upon the aristocracy and the House of Lords. He called upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Attorney- General to say whether they were prepared to sanction so destructive a measure.— Mr. ROEBUCK, in a violent speech, defended the propo- sition, as calculated to destroy the baneful influence of the House of Lords.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, the ATTORNEY and SOLICITOR- GENERAL, S R. INGLIS, and Mr. A. TREVOR spoke against the Bill, as tending to bring about those ulterior effects so undis- guisedly alluded to by Mr. Roebuck.— Mr. AGLIONBY, Colonel P. THOMPSON and Mr. WARBURTON, as might have been expected, were in favour of the Bill; and Mr. S. O'BRIEN moved the previous question, which was seconded by Mr. JARVIS.— An opinion having been expressed by Mr. C. W. WYNN and other Hon. Members that the proper course was to meet the proposed measure with a direct negative the motion for the previous question was withdrawn; the mover and seconder then declaring their intentions to vote for the Bill.— On a division the numbers were— For the Bill, 29; against it, 45. Sir W. MOLESWORTH deferred, till the 3d of May, his motion for papers connected with the recent appointment of Lord Brudenell to the 11th Dragoons.— Adjourned. WEDNESDAY. Sir E. KNATCHBULL presented petitions from Kent, praying for an enlargement of the term, from ten to twenty years, for the repayment of the money borrowed to build new workhouses.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not promise a general measure on the sub- ject, as Government thought it would be sufficient to allow an extension of time where adequate cause could be shown. The House went into Committee pro forma on the Tithe Commu- tation Bill, when Lord J. RUSSELL described the alterations which he was desirous to make. He proposed that where a certain pro- portion of the landowners and titheowners— namely, two- thirds— recommend a voluntary arrangement, it should be binding on the whole parish ; but if the arrangement was not taken advantage of by the parish before the 1st of October, 1837, then the Commissioners, if they think fit, might order the principle to be adopted for the whole parish.— Sir R. PEEL apprehended that if the measure should pass in its amended shape, it would be an imperfect attempt at adopting the principle of commutation. ^ He considered further information, in order to adopt a fair principle of commutation, was necessary; and he would propose, according to the principle he had laid down in the Bill he proposed last year, that the Commissioners should invite the parties to come to an amicable settlement, and let them, at the same time, institute some inquiries as to the different practices which prevail in different parts^ of the country. If the voluntary system should fail, these inquiries would naturally assist the discussion of a measure for compulsory commutation, while, if the voluntary principle should succeed, everybody would be satisfied. — After some further discussion the amendments were reported, and the Bill ordered to be printed. On the question for going into Committee on the Mutiny Bill being moved, Major FANCOURT submitted the following resolution :—" That it is the opinion of this House that the punishment of flogging should be entirely abolished in the British army." The Hon. and Gallant Member considered that the expulsion of a man with ignominy from the army would be a much better and more efficacious punishment than subjecting him to corporal punishment.— Capt. BOLDERO seconded the motion.— Mr. C. FERGUSSON, in a speech of great length and considerable research, opposed the resolution. The Right Hon. Gentleman stated incidentally that it was the intention of Govern- ment to make 200 lashes the maximum of punishment for the future. — Mr. POULTER and Colonel P. THOMPSON supported the motion.— Lord SAN DON spoke very ably against Major Fancourt's resolution, and was followed by Mr. HUME, who expressed his regret that the Government should persist in opposing the abolition of this punish- ment.— Lord HOWICK defended the present practice as necessary to the discipline of the army, and concluded by expressing his opinion that gentlemen who should support the motion ought in consistency to follow it np by voting that the army be disbanded.— Sir HENRY HARDINGE expressed his dissent from the resolution. The Right Hon. Baronet illustrated his remarks by a variety of interesting details. He was most anxious that coporal punishment should be resorted to as seldom as possible, but could not consent that com- manding officers should be deprived of the power of inflicting it, no matter what might be the urgency of the case. The discussion pro- ceeded to a considerable length, and concluded with the rejection of Major FANCOURT'S proposition— the numbers being 95 to 212. The Mutiny Bill then passed through a Committee, after which the House adjourned. THURSDAY. Several petitions were presented for and against the London and Norwich Railway Bill, the secondreading of which was subsequently carried by a majority of 99 to 20. Capt. BOLDERO, adverting to a notice on the paper, inquired whe- ther Mr. Lennard intended to press his clause for the abolition of flogging, on the Mutiny Bill being brought forward ?— Mr. LENNARD said that, in compliance with the wishes of several friends of the abolition, he should deem it his duty to press his motion. Mr. ROBINSON moved the appointment of a Select Committee to consider the necessary restriction for allowing foreign corn and flour to be warehoused for re- exportation, his object being to effect a regulation by which foreign corn in this country might be ground here for the purpose of re- exportation.— Mr. I'." THOMSON opposed the motion, on the ground that by its adoption, thedoorto fraud would lie opened.— The proposition was discussed at some length, and nega- tived, there being 40 ayes, and 77 noes, making a majority of 37 against Mr. Robinson's motion. On the motion that the Report of the Mutiny Bill be received, Mr. LENNARD proposeda clause providing that flogging in the army in time of peace should be discontinued.— Mr. O'CONNELL supported this proposition.— Mr. PEMBERTON resisted it, contending that it was requisite to continue the power, and the mode of punishment.— Lord W. BENTINCK defended the course he had adopted with regard to the native Indian army. His Lordship was understood to say that he did recommend the abolition of flogging in the British army to the Board of Council, but that the reason the recommendation was not attended to was that the characters sent over there were of such an incorrigible kind.— LordHowicK deprecated the efforts to renew the discussion, after the proceedings and decision the previous evening.— In the course of the debate, which proceeded to some length, a considerable sensation was created by a declaration by Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, that he knew of certain unofficer- like and cruel conduct on the part of some Colonel of a regiment.— Sir H. IIARDINGE and Lord HOWICK called upon the Hon. Member not to name the individual in question to the House, but to commu- cate the fact to the General Commanding- in- Chief, in order that no time might be lost in establishing the charge, and punishing thhe offender.— Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said he should not give up the name of the officer to whom he alluded, or the authority on which he stated the fact.— The House at length divided; when there appeared — For Mr. Lennard's motion, 62; against it, 135. The report on the Mutiny Bill was then brought up; as, imme- diately afterwards, was that on the Marine Mutiny Bill.— Adj. FRIDAY. The second reading of the Dover Harbour Bill was deferred, to af- ford the opportunity of moving for a Select Committee on the subject. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE requested the attention of the House to an explanation of the statement he had made on Thursday evening with reference to the officer whom he had accused of cruelty in the inflic- tion of a military punishment. The Hon. Member stated that Col. Arthur was the " officer alluded to, and that the circumstance occurred in 1820. He then exclaimed, turning to the Treasury bench, " I dare you to the trial of Col. Arthur."— Mr. CUTLAII FERGUSSON re- minded the Hon. Member for Finsbury that the concealment of this alleged conduct for sixteen years was very unfortunate, as he must know that, by the rules of the service, no officer could be brought to a Court- martial after three years had elapsed from the date of the offence charged.— Sir HENRY HARDINGE expressed his confidence that Colonel Arthur, on his arrival from Van Diemen's Land, would demand a Court of Inquiry, though precluded from obtaining a Court- martial. Sir. P. STEWART deferred his motion regarding the aggressions of Russia, on the understanding that Ministers would on some future night afford him the opportunity of bringing the subject forward.— In answer to Mr. MACLEAN, Lord PALMERSTON declined laying on the table a copy of Lord John Hay's letter to General Cordova. The Registration of Births Bill was, after a few observations from some Hon. Members, read a second time, and ordered to be com- mitted on Monday ; as was the Marriages Bill, to which Mr. GOUL- BURN stated his serious objection, as tending to afford facilities to clandestine marriages. On the motion for the second reading of the Bishopric of Durham Bill, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that this Bill left the question of the Durham University entirely open.— After some strong remarks on this course, as rendering nugatory the munificent act of the late Bishop, by Mr. A. TREVOR and Sir R. INGLIS, the Bill was read a second time. The Mutiny Bill and the Marine Mutiny Bill were read a third time and passed; as was the Abolition of Slavery ( Jamaica) Bill. The remainder of the sitting was occupied in Committee on the re- maining Navy Estimates. The French papers are unusually barren of both foreign and domestic intelligence. The Chamber of Deputies was occupied on Saturday discussing various petitions for the recal of the Buona- parte family, and for transferring the remains of Napoleon to France. The petitions on the latter subject were referred to the Council of Ministers— those relating to the recal of the Buonaparte family were disposed of by the Chamber passing to the order of the day. Several of the prisoners tried on a charge of being concerned in the plot against the life of the King were pronounced guilty, and sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. Five were found not guilty. Some of the convicted declared the Monarchy would not last long, and left the Court with cries of " Five la Republique The measure for taxing beet- root sugar appears to be very unpopular in the departments, and it is expected that it will be postponed or withdrawn. Both the Deputies and Peers sat on Tuesday. In the former Chamber a Bill was discussed for regu lating the concession of Crown lands. In the Peers, the subject under consideration was a Bill respecting the responsibility of Ministers and agents of the Government. The article, so amended by the Committee as to confine the responsibility of Ministers to acts bearing their signature, underwent a good deal of discussion. M. Thiers contended that the responsibility should extend to the deeds and speeches of the Crown which in any way involve questions of national policy and of national interest. At his suggestion the article was sent back to the Committee for re- amendment. Ac- cording to all appearance this law will not pass during the present Session. James Harley, one of the Chipstead burglars, was executed on Monday morning at Horsemonger- lane Gaol. The Government has respited Hill. April 123. JOHN BULL. 115 VESTRY MEETINGS. PARISH OF ST. MARY, NEWINGTON.— Defeat of the Radicals.— This parish lias been kept in a continual flame of excitement from Easter Tuesday until Wednesday night, when the signal defeat of the Radicals restored it to something approximating its usual tranquillity. The contest lay between the lovers and the haters of the Church Establishment. Mr. Johnson, a Conservative, was proposed for the office of Churchwarden; Mr. Cheeseman, an uncompromising Radical, was nominated in opposition. The friends of the latter, by preconcerted arrangement, mustered strongly upon the occasion, and carried by a show of hands the choice of their favourite candidate. The same party, flushed with their temporary and uncertain triumph, succeeded also in passing a resolution which went to deprive the organist of any further salary out of the parish rates. The Conserva- tives present, however, knew well enough that such a meeting was not to be taken as anything approaching a fair representation of the ratepayers of the parish, and therefore ( determined not to succumb to the mobocracy majority), demanded a poll, which it was agreed by bothparties should commence on Monday last. During the whole of Monday last the parishioners were recording theirvotes ; an adjourn- ment took place till Tuesday morning, nine o'clock, when the battle • was renewed, the contest becoming hotter as the day advanced. At five o'clock in the afternoon another adjournment was proposed and carried ; and Wednesday morning at ten o'clock the combatants were again in the field, both sanguine as to ultimate success. At seven o'clock the friends of Mr. Cheeseman moved another adjournment, in the certain hope of future triumph. Mr. Cheeseman, however, thought that it would be better not to agitate the parish further, ashe confessed he had no expectation of overtaking, much less overleaping, his opponent. The motion of adjournment was then withdrawn, and Mr. Brandon, the presiding Churchwarden, announced the final close of the poll to be as follows:— For Mr. Johnson ( Conservative), 805; Mr. Cheeseman ( Radical) 592— majority for Johnson, 213.— For the organist's salary to be paid out of the parish rates, 710; Against the motion, 572— majority, 138. Thus both points were carried by a triumphant majority in favour of the friends of the Church. PARISH OF ST. BOTOLFH, BISHOPSGATE.— The Radicals of this parish have also sustained a defeat. Thursday a vestry was_ held in the parish Church pursuant to notice, to appoint an organist, Dr. Russell, the Rector, in the chair. At the vestry noticed in our paper of last, week, the anti- Church party carried a resolution— " That the letter respecting the moneys alleged to be retained by the Bishop of London should be forwarded to his Lordship the same party afterwards, when the vestry had arrived at the subject of organist in the day's paper of business, adopted ( as we understood) the unprecedented course in that parish of moving an adjournment sine die; and the Churchwardens had, therefore, on a requisition, numerously and most respectably signed, convened the present vestry for the purpose above stated. The minutes of the former vestry having, a3 usual, been submitted for confirmation, Mr. Rodgers rose, and observed that the letter which was proposed to be sent'to the Bishop was at variance with the facts, as recorded by their own confirmed minutes, with the meaning and intention of the local Act, and with the statement of Mr. Richards, who was one of the deputation appointed by vestry to agree to the Bishop's proposal to accept 2,5001. a year, subject to the payment of 3001., when a new Church should be erected; on those grounds he moved—" That the minutes be confirmed, subject to the expunging, of such part of them as related to the communication to the Bishop of London." The motion having been seconded was, after considerable discussion, carried by a show of hands. Mr. Rodgers again rose, to move that Mr. Cope be appointed organist for the year ensuing. Mr. Richards seconded the motion. To this motion the previous question was moved by Mr. Springal, and seconded by Mr. Davis; upon which a division took place, when there appeared— For the amendment, 73; against it, 89— majority in favour of putting the motion, 16. Mr. Hall said that, with a view of allaying all party animosity and preventing strife among neighbours, he would move as an amend- ment—" That the organist should be paid by subscription, and that a committee should be appointed for carrying that object into effect." This amendment was seconded and lost, and Mr. Rodgers' original motion was then carried. Thanks having been voted to Dr. Russell, the vestry was dissolved. A vestry meeting for the parish of Warrington was held on Easter Tuesday, according to ancient custom— the Hon. and Rev. Horace Powys in the chair— for the purpose of appointing Churchwardens, and laying the requisite Church- rate, for the ensuing year; when a numerous train of the Destructives, headed by some of the most rest- less and dissatisfied amongst the Dissenters crowded to the meeting, and endeavoured to prevent the laying of the Church- rate, voting for an amended motion that the question of imposing the rate should be adjourned to that day six months. Several of those who held up their hands had no votes, and many were neither residents nor ley- payers in the parish. These were glad to make their escape when a scrutiny was called for; and the majority thus attempted to be foisted on the parish was, on a scrutiny of the votes being demanded and forthwith proceeded in, declared to be as follows:— For the rate, 227 votes ; against it, 159— majority for the rate, 68. Amount of assess- ment of those who voted for the rate, 5,7291.10s.; of those who voted against it, 1,2811.— Manchester Courier. There was a strong contest at St. Saviour's Church, Dartmouth, last week in the election of Churchwardens for that parish; at the close of the poll the Conservatives beat their opponents by a majority of ten. On Tuesday last, the Conservatives of Poole achieved a glorious • victory, and proved they possess the real strength in the borough. This being the day when the Churchwardens and other officers are annually elected— and the Radical party having, in Easter 1835, elected two Radical Churchwardens and cut off the salaries of the ringers, < fcc.— the Conservatives were determined to restore the salaries, and elect Conservative Churchwardens, thus keeping up the good old principle of Church and King. The Radicals put in nomi- nation the old Churchwardens, Messrs. Stanworth and Rickman ( who are also councillors in that interest for the south- east ward); the Conservatives proposed Messrs. Holland and Adey, and after a sharp straggle, the result was as follows:— For Holland and Adey, 275 ; For Rickman and Stanworth, 170— majority for Conserva- tives, 105.— The salaries to the ringers < fcc., were all restored, the Radical party declining to oppose.— Salisbury Herald.

PORTSMOUTH, April 12.— There seems great activity in equipping the ships commissioned here, and every inducement held out to ob- tain men. His Majesty's ship Beacon, just arrived here from Malta, after four years' absence, has sailed for Shetland and the Orkneys to endeavour to get men. I understand, and indeed know for certain, agents of another Government beside our own are at these islands endeavouring to procure a great number of seamen. The Carron steamer is here to take on board marine artillery for St. Andero, and every thing appears very like powerful assistance from this Govern- ment to aid the Queen's cause. Another Government steamer is gone to the Mediterranean for the purpose of collecting the marine artillery, and to take them to Spain. Independent of the Bellerophon, 80, Pembroke, 80, and Vanguard, 80, being commissioned, there is the Britannia, 120, Ganges, 80, St. Vincent, 120, and Princess Charlotte, 120, all ready at a very short notice, provided men couid be obtained. This seems the difficulty. And you would be surprised to see the landsmen, or rather countrymen, tliat are taken on board of men- of- war.— Courier. The following anecdote from the Norfolk Chronicle, will serve to show the sort of treatment the new- fangled Municipal dignities receive from the higher authorities :— On Sunday, the 27th ult., in the choir of the Cathedral, at Norwich, as the Judges were proceeding to their usual seats, Mr. SPRINGFIELD, the Mayor, proposed to Mr. Justice PARK, that their Lordships should sit, one on each side of himself, in the centre of the pew, appropriated in the time of the old Corporation to the use of the Chief Magistrate and Aldermen. To this proposition Sir JAMES ALLEN PARK instantly replied—" My Brother GASELEE and I will sit together, and we shall take our places yonder—( pointing to the seats prepared as usual for the Judges)— You may sit just where you please." His Royal Highness Prince CHARLES FERDINAND of the Two Sicilies and his bride ( late Miss PENELOPE SMYTHE) have taken up their residence, pro tem., at MIVART'S Hotel, Lower Brook- street. The Official Gazette of Milan of the 5th instant publishes a docu- ment which, it is supposed, is intended as a warning to the Prince of CAPUA and Miss SMYTHE. It is a decree of the King of NAPLES, dated the 7th of April, 1829, declaring null and void in their consequences, both civil and political, all marriages of a member of the Royal family of the Two Sicilies contracted without the KING'S consent, and pro- nouncing also null and void all pecuniary engagements entered into by the members of the same family without their SOVEREIGN'S consent. The whole fauboiirg of St. G ermain has just been thrown into great agitation by an impending scandalous law- suit, which, after thirty years' of peaceful enjoyment of it, is about to deprive of a fortune, of 30,000,000fr. a noble, devoted, and pious Duchess. Married without a fortune, a widow without children, it is said that, to obtain posses- sion of her husband's whole fortune to the exclusion of his heirs, she has resorted to means more than indelicate. A step- son is mentioned, whose condemnation to death the noble lady obtained in 1794, in re- turn for a certain intimacy with ROBESPIERRE. Even a forged will, the forgery of which has been but recently discovered, is spoken of; and, by a providential singulefrity in this extraordinary case, it happens that, through an exception in the law, in spite of the thirty years that have expired, four years are wanting to confer prescription on the noble dowager's property.— Bon Sens.

THEIR MAJESTIES are in good health. The KING came to town on Wednesday and held a levee at St. James's, and returned to the Castle in the evening. Yesterday his MAJESTY gave a splendid banquet in St. George's Hall to the Knights Grand Crosses of the Order of the Bath. OUR readers are generally aware of the event which has occurred in Dublin, and occurred too, so curiously, in the way of coincidence, upon the anniversary of the destruction of Dublin Castle, by the Papists, in the year 1683. There never, perhaps, was a more disgraceful proceeding recorded in the auuals ofhistory, or one more strikingly illus- trative of the demoniacal passions by which the blood- thirsty enemies of the Constitution and Establishment are actuated. We subjoin some parts of the evidence, which has transpired during the examination at the Police- office, whence we gather, as far as we can judge from " reports," that the event might have been anticipated : that several attempts had been recently made to destroy the statue, and that no notice whatever had been taken of them :— In the course of the investigation respecting the outrage at College- street Police- office, a watchman named SMITH, who was stationed at the gate of Trinity College, about 100 vards from the statue, gave the following remarkable testimony :—" fie was coming down Grafton- street when he heard DILLOX ( another watchman) springing his creak; witness ran up towards Collegre- green, when he observed a light at the statue, and in a moment afterwards it exploded. About ' our weeks before this occurrence a report had been made at the police- office that a hole hud been discovered bored in the horse some inches deep. ( A piece of soft rope was here produced by witness, which he said was discovered at that time hanging down from the horse ; to one end was attached a spike of about two inches long which had been fixed in the bored hole.) There was about one yard of rope stuffed into the bodv of the horse, and two yards hung outside. The Magistrates intimated their surprise at not having been in- formed of this circumstance before. SMITH said he had mentioned it to a watch constable. Air. GOODISSON, the chief constable of the division, observed that it was the watchman's duty to have stated what he had seen to him. SMITH, in continuation, stated that at the time the rope was found it was burning, but DILLOX extinguished the fire with his pole. The rope was not twisted, but quite soft. Sir ff. LYNAK, who was present, noticed that the rope was a slow match. SMITH added, that three attempts had been made within a short period to blow up the statue. No other witnesses were examined during the day, but the Magis- trates are actively engaged in following up the inquiry. Intelligence having been received that an individual had some soft rope in his possession answering to the description of that found on the occasion alluded to by the watchman SMITH, he was sent for. This person sent the rope alluded to to the Magistrates. It is of the nature of a slow match, and has been some time moistened with tur- pentine, or some other inflammable liquid. We understand that he states he took this rope from some young men, who were endeavour- ing to throw it about the statue of King WILLIAM. After the explosion had taken place on Thursday night, and intel- ligence of the event had been conveyed to College- street- office, Constable GOODISSON attended with a party of police, in order to preserve order. The statue, which had been flung down from the horse, was placed on the float, and conveyed to the police- office, where it is nt present deposited. It is entirely defaced by the explo- sion, and the legs are torn away from the trunk. _ The statue was generally supposed to have been of brass, but this is not the case, it being made of lead. An old cut is observable in the neck, which report assigns to have been made by some individual in 1798, who endeavoured to cut oft' the head. After working a considerable time, he became alarmed, and desisted from the attempt. When ( he statue was lying on the ground, many of the persons assembled in the street passed various remarks on the circumstance. Among the expressions were the following:—" He has fainted, poor fellow, and bring him a drop of water." " Bring the doctor, for he has broken his leg." " He has been long enough up, and it was time lie should be pulled down, and may he never rise again." An old woman, in a happy state of inebriation, turned up her eyes to the statue, and, clapping her hands together, cried out -" Ah, then. Bill, my hearty! you're unseated before DAN'S unseated, and if he's unseated, there's just the place for him." The spirit of this happy country, so completely pacified under the Government of MULGRAVE, MORPETH, and Co.', is here tolerably evident, and so is the spirit of the Govern- ment itself; it has magnanimously offered one hundred pounds reward for the discovery of the offender. The Corporation, not yet reformed, lias offered 2001. The statue has been attacked before. In Wharton's Life, p. 83, is this passage:— On Sunday, June 25th, 1700, the Jacobites or Tories very much defaced this statue, twisted the sword it had in one hand, and wrested the truncheon from the other, daubed the face with dirt, and offered it many other indignities. The House of Lords immediately ad- dressed the Duke of WHARTON, to issue a proclamation to discover the authors, which was done next day, offering 1001. sterling for ap- prehending any of the persons guilty. The House of Commons was then adjourned; but when thev met the 1st of August following, they also sent an address to his Excellency expressing their pleasure for the early care he took to bring to punishment " the insolent miscreants w'ho, with equal malice and baseness, insulted the statue of his late Majesty King WILLIAM III., of glorious memory." It does not appear that the authors of the outrage were ever discovered; but the city caused the statne to be repaired, and a new truncheon to be put into his hand, the 2i companies of the city attending the so- lemnity ; on which occasion the thanks of the House of Commons were given to the LORD MAYOR and citizens, item, con., for their zeal and care in repairing that noble remnant of their gratitude. WRIGHT'S Picture of Dublin says—" In 1800 the sword and tnm- cheon were torn from the statne, and other acts of violence committed upon it— in 1805, on the eve of its decoration, after it had been painted with the most glaring and brilliant colours, some parties ascended the pedestal, ana blackened the figure all over with a greasy sub- stance, which it was found very difficult to remove. Before this occa- sion it was that the Member for the University applied the pleasing quotation so happily:—' Hie niger est, hunc tu, Komane, caveto.'" The statue was erected in 1700- 1, in the Mayoralties of Sir A. PERRY and Sir MARK RANSFORO, and in the vice- royalty of the Duke of WHARTON. It was begun in 1700, and opened with great solem- nity ou the 1st of Jnly, 1701, being the anniversary of the battle of the" Boyne. The inscription on the pedestal is as follows:— " GULIELMO TERTIO, Magna; Britannia;, Franciee, et Hiberniffi, Regi, Ob religionem conservatam, restitutas leges, Libertatem assertam, Cives Dublinienses hanc statuam Posuere." This memorial of the city of Dublin in grateful commemo- ration of their deliverance from Popery and slavery, had an- nually been the rallying point of the loyal and constitutional subjects of the Protestant KING of Great Britain and Ire- land. Tory liberality exerted itself to damp the ardour of loyalty, and one of the earliest symptoms of that conciliation which ended in the admission of Papists to power, was the prohibition of those anniversary pilgrimages to the shrine of Protestantism. Now that the foot of the Papist is on the neck of the Protestant— that the empire is ruled by a band of Popish guerillas, under the command of Mr. O'CONNELL, one step farther is taken. The Orangemen were first denied the gratification of paying their customary tribute of venera- tion to their deliverer, and they acceded to the wish of the local government— the statue remained unvisited and unde- rrated. The Orangemen are uow broken down— the yeo- manry are disarmed— the Papists are in the ascendant. Why, then, should there any longer exist the painful record of tile triumphs of him, by whom the Protestants were emancipated, and after whom all " Orangemen are so called ? Away with it—• down with the evidence of a Protestant triumph— raze, level, and destroy whatever may bring to the minds of the people the tyranny of Popery, or the glory of their deliverance. The statue itself is tumbled to the dust. And how is this outrage— this sacrilegious outrage, treated by his Majesty's Ministers and their adherents, in the House of Commons? Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR on Monday night, most naturally and reasonably, inquires whether any particu- lars have been received by Government of this most scandalous proceeding; upon which the Ministers and their adherents set up a prodigious shout of laughter, which amounts to a roar, when Lord MORPETH replies, " that he has not yet received any official account of the transaction." This is decent, and proper, and constitutional, and loyal; but the demolition is not quite so comical an affair as these sapient legislators seem to think. A flag is but a piece of bunting, and the staff on which it is hoistedjs but a stick of wood. Title- deeds are but parchment— seals are but wax— a coronet is but a circlet of gold; but what do these represent? The Statue of KING WILLIAM the THIRD, intrinsically con- sidered, is worth nothing— but what did it typify ? What does its assassin- like destruction demonstrate? What does the dastardly blow of the half- hidden perpetrator of this atrocity, levelled at a helpless woman, who stood by, lead us to anti- cipate ? Well enough may those who are interested in the welfare of Dublin exert themselves to bring to condign punishment the persons who have done the deed. If they be not detected, Dublin, we should think, will soon be thinned of all its in- habitants who are able to live elsewhere. The explosion seems a fit and proper signal for the departure of those who are now become the victims where they once were victors, and who have yet the power to escape from a system of terror and devastation, of which the first step is this work of midnight destruction. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY made inquiries in the House of Lords upon the subject, and was answered by Lord MELROURNE, who repelled the idea that Ministers were supine upon the matter, or at all inclined to pass it over. We sup- pose nothing could be said or done in either House until Mr. O'CONNELL arrived to express his will and pleasure. The Standard of Monday says :— " After the statue was destroyed, it turned out that the watchmen in its neighbourhood had reported to the police office, of which, curi- ously enough, Mr. FLEMING, the person most active in causing the discontinuance of the dressings, is head, several preparatory at- tempts. A Air. EIFFE appears to have withdrawn all of the watch- men in view, who were not dead drunk, just before the explosion took place. We think that we remember Air. EIFFE'S name in con- nexion with the Roman Catholic Association." If this be so— and the Standard is good authority— light breaks in. LORD MELBOURNE seems sometimes to forget himself. We have heard his Lordship deny not only O'CONNELL and his influence, but positively repel with indignation the slightest charge of any active participation on the part of England in the affairs of Spain. On Friday night, to our infinite amaze- ment, we find his Lordship making the following reply to the motion of Lord LONDONDERRY, for the production of a copy of the instructions given by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, so fat- as they related to the letter written by Lord JOHN HAY to General CORDOVA :— Lord MELBOURNE objected to such production, " because such an application was quite novel, and such a production would be entirely contrary to public policy. It was impos- sible to suppose that such a motion should be complied with, which would have the effect of disclosing to the enemy the destinies and objects of those engaged in the warfare now going on. If there were Noble Lords desirous of co- ope- rating with Don CARLOS, still surely they could not think of doing that against the recognition of her Catholic Majesty by the British Government, against the policy of that Govern- ment, AND CONTRARY TO THE SUCCESS OF THE BRITISH ARMS." So then— we are at war— at war without knowing it— What else does Lord MELROURNE mean about the success of the British arms? It seems, indeed, as if his Lordship himself was not aware of the position in which he placed the Govern- ment by this startling observation; for, having uttered these words, which, to use a strong although homely phrase, " let the cat out of the bag," his Lordship sealed up his mouth, and opened it merely to profess his inabiltiy to give any fur- ther information on the subject. In the meantime, the King of SPAIN has received most important succour and supplies; and as Lord JOHN HAY cannot well navigate steam- boats on the tops of mountains, Don CARLOS will, in all probability, be safe in Madrid before the important naval force from tiiis country can be brought into operation for the benefit of the " BRITISH ARMS." THE subject of flogging in the army has been twice before the House of Commons during the week. On Wednesday, Major FANCOURT moved a resolution that it was the opinion of the House that the punishment of flogging should be entirely abolished, in the English army. The speech of Major FANCOURT was able and moderate, and appeared to be the result of a genuine feeling upon the subject, unadul- terated by any anxiety for mob- popularity, which might have rendered the subject in other hands somewhat suspicious. The motion was seconded by Captain BOLDERO. The Right Hon. CUTLAR FERGUSSON, after announcing the intention of Government to reduce the number of lashes to be inflicted for crimes by the sentences of Garrison or Regimental Courts- Martial, strenuously opposed the motion, because the abolition of flogging altogether would strike at the root of all military discipline, and render the army a curse instead of a protection. Col. THOMPSON said something about himself, and Mr. HUME made one of his speeches, in which, in spite of a sharp set- down from the Right Hon. CUTLAR FERGUSSON— who now holds the office of Judge Advocate- General— on the sub- ject of " finding mares' nests:" he, like his gallant friend Colonel THOMPSON, talked of himself and his experience, or practice, we forget which; and was answered by Lord IIOWICK, who, in an uncommonly good speech, ably vindi- cated the system of corporal punishment, to the utter discom- fiture of the unconnected wanderings of the Hon, Member for Middlesex. Sir HENRY HARDINGE, in one of those appeals to the House which carry with them, beyond their inherent force and clearness, the weight which practical knowledge and per- sonal experience such as his cannot fail to produce, put two- cases, which were unanswerable, and, singular enough to say, both the Honourable and Gallant Members to whose proceed- ings he referred were absent from the House upon the occa- sion. The one was Colonel EVANS— the other Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK. Happy Glasgow !— Happy Westminster! Sir HENRY HARDIN GE, alluding to the consequences of Lord w ILLIAM BENTINCK'S order in India, declared his belief that if his Lordship had been present, he would then have given it as his opinion that flogging could not he abolished— and as for Colonel EVANS, it was clear that whatever his professions in Covent- garden might have been, the trying of the case rendered his practice totally different. Nobody blames Colo- nel EVANS for flogging, when he finds he cannot maintain discipline without it— all that is to be found fault with is, the readiness and flippancy with which, at a period when he never had commanded a single regiment, much less an army, and never had the slightest expectation of doing either, he aspersed the system, and the characters of those who supported it, which he, when brought to work out his theory by practice, was the first to adopt. Sir IIENRY HARDINGE proceeded to show that the reduc- tion of punishments had, to a certain extent, been effected by himself when Secretary at War ; and concluded a most able and eloquent speech, by declaring his intention to vote with Ministers upon the division. Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON spoke strongly in favour of flogging in the Navy. The gallant Admiral said he wished to correct an erroneous impression which might have been made by the Honourable Member for Hull, who had stated that the mutiny at the Nore was attributable to the severity of flogging in the fleet. " Such," said Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON, " was not the fact: for I will venture to say that the mutiny at the Note arose from want of punishment.'''' Sir RONALD FERGUSSON, however anxious for as great a diminution of punishment in the army as possible, was anxious the power should remain. Upon a division there appeared— For Major FANCOURT's motion 95 Against it 212 Majority 117 The subject was renewed upon the bringing up of the report, when Mr. LENNARD brought forward his motion " that flogging should be abolished in the army except in time of war," although Captain BOLDF. RO, who had on the previous evening seconded Major FANCOURT'S motion, begged him to withdraw it, having satisfied himself during the day of the impolicy of the proposed abolition. Lord'HOWICK replied, and, after a speech by Mr. O'CON- NELL, Mr. PEMBERTON brought forward the subject to which Sir H. HARDINGE had on the previous night referred— the abolition of punishment in the native army in India. Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK, who happened to be in the House, said that he had acted with the unanimous consent of his Council, and did it under the impression that it might be effected without danger, or rather that danger was to be apprehended from its continuance. His Lordship concluded by saying, that he did not deserve the censure which had been cast upon him. Mr. Serjeant TALFOURD supported the motion, and Capt. CRAVEN BERKELEY, the Member for Cheltenham, opposed it. The Gallant Officer not only vindicated the continuance of corporal punishment, but stated his conviction that if every soldier in the army, were brought up to the bar of the House of Commons, they would every man of them give their voices in favour of the continuance of flogging. In conclusion the Gallant Captain said—" If you attempt to do away with cor- poral punishment altogether, you had better disband the army at once and increase the police." Mr. COWPER, Lord MELBOURNE'S nephew, also vindi- cated the continuance of flogging, as essential to the existence of the army- Mr. WAKLEY was astonished to hear Whigs and Radicals talk in such a way, and declared that the people with whom he had communicated were quite disgusted with the vote of the preceding night, and had said to him—" Why, in the old borough- mongering Parliament we had a better chance than we have now." Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE then spoke, and detailed a cir- cumstance of an officer having protracted a punishment by taking out his watch and ordering fifty lashes to be given in minute- and- half time, thus extending a punishment, which ought only to occupy few minutes, over a period of nearly an hour and a half. This statement created a strong sensation in the House, and was received with murmurs loud and strong. Sir HENRY- HARDINGE called upon Mr. DUNCOMBE, if not then, at least at the earliest opportunity, to denounce the officer, to whom he had alluded, to the Commander- in- Chief; and added, that he was quite sure from the manly bearing of the Hon. Member for Finsbury in that House, that he would not fail to confer that benefit upon the service and the country, and the charge having been made, it was absolutely necessary an investigation should take place. Lord llowiCK said, it was' Mr. DUNCOMBE'S duty, not then, perhaps, but forthwith, to communicate the circumstance to Lord HILL, in order that an inquiry should take place; but Mr. DUNCOMBE would not undertake to give up the name of the officer, or of the authority upon which he made the state- ment, but would the Noble Lord say that such a discretion did not exist ? The House was evidently surprised and disappointed at Mr. DUNCOMBE'S answer; and Lord HOWICK stated that no officer in the service possessed any such discretion, and in- stanced the case of an officer who was dismissed the service for inflicting an unusual punishment. Sir CHARLES DAL- HOUSE and Mr. CUTLAR FERGUSSON pressed Mr. DUN- COMBE to carry the matter farther, but in vain, and the House divided— For Mr. LENNARD'S motion 62 Against it 135 Majority ...... 73 On Friday evening. Mr. DUNCOMBE, feeling himself re- lieved from the restraint of what he considered a private communication, stated that the officer to whom he had alluded was Colonel ARTHUR, Governor of Van Diemen's Land, now on his way home to England. THE country will, we think, agree with us. that, for a mea April 17. JOHN BULL 125 sure of a Ministry boasting that it rules without patronage, the Irish Constabulary Force Bill is one of the most striking instances of political purity and sincerity that ever was brought forward as an illustration of an avowed principle. The Bill will undergo, of course, such an examination and discussion in Parliament as will fully bear us out in our unqualified ad- miration of its provisions. At present we will merely observe, that its first operation is to create forty- two new offices, at 5001. per annum each, called Inspectorships; forty- two new offices, ealledDeputy- Inspectorships, at 2501. per annum each ; besides a certain number of stipendiary Magistrates, at the rate of four, we believe, for each county, whose appoint- ments are to be in the gift of the LORD LIEUTENANT. These pickings for Mr. O'CONNF. LL'S friends, in return for his protection of the Ministry, will increase the police expen- diture of Ireland somewhere between seventy and eighty thousand a year— and we are told that a satisfactory arrange- ment with the Agitator is dirt- cheap at the money. THE Members of the Executive Council of Upper Canada have, we hear, tendered their resignations, which have been accepted by Sir FRANCIS B. HEAD. It is also stated that Sir JOHN FRANKLIN is appointed Governor of Van Diemen's Land, and Sir PEREGRINE MAITLAND Commander- in- Chief at Madras. MR. O'CONNELL has been taking a tour— beating up for recruits for his Ministers. What Air. O'CONNELL says, is so tiresome and so absurd, so contradictary at one time of what he lias said at another, and so odiously disgusting that we have not patience— not to analyze, but to notice the stuff which comes out ofhis mouth. When, however, he affects to vindicate himself, and is foolish enough to deny that which is recorded against him in black and white, it becomes just worth while to expose him— not that his Cabinet would be in the slightest degree affected by his greatest degradation, provided it left him unassailed by new convictions. However, the plain straightforward set- down given to the illustrious Agitator by a correspondent of the Standard, in reply to his denial of the calumny with which he assailed the women of England, may perhaps stag- ger even some of the gentlemen of the Ministry. The letter is addressed to the Standard, by a gentleman who gives his name to the editor, but who, not wishing to be gibbetted in the Ministerial Press, or perhaps blown up in his own house at midnight, declines putting his signature before the public. Thus runs the letter:— " TO THE EDITOR OF THE STANDARD. " Dublin, April 8, 1836. " Sir,— I have read with no small astonishment Mr. O'Connell's speech at Nottingham, in which he states, * there is only one calumny ever uttered against me that I have thought it worth my while to deny. It is so base a calumny that I scarcely find it possible to pronounce it from my lips. Tuey dared to assert that I was degraded enough to traduce the maids and matrons of England. It is the only calumny I ever deigned to answer, and my answer to it is, that it is a lie— the worst sort of lie— a Tory lie.' Now, Sir, I do liereby solemnly declare ( and it can be verified on oath by several most respectable wit- nesses) that I heard Mr. O'Connell most grossly ' traduce the maids and matrons of England,' in the presence of a very large assemblage of persons of both sexes; and as he ' sets all the slanderous crew of Tories at defiance' to name time and place, I beg to remind him, that it was on the 9th of September, 1824, at a meeting of the Ladies' Aux- iliary to the Munster School Society, in the County Court- house, in Cork, Joseph Dean Freeman, Esq., of Castle Cor, in the chair. In ridiculing the idea of English morality, he said that it was notorious that ' nineteen women out of twenty ivere mothers before or a month after marriage.' I well remember the quotation he used in con- nexion with this subject: ' the marriuge- baked meats did coldly fur- nish forth the christening tables.' " As I have no particular fancy to be spattered by the puddle of Mr. O'Connell's abuse, I send you my real name and residence on the envelope, and refer you for a further verification of my statement to a pamphlet ( probably to be had at Hatchard's or Seelev's) containing a report of the proceedings of three public meetings held in Cork in 1824. " VERITAS. " P. S.— At page 45 of the above- mentioned pamphlet there is a very slight sketch of Mr. O'Connell's slander against the women of England on that occasion." So much for the lies of the Tories, and Mr. O'CONNELL'S veracity. WE hear that many members of the Whig aristocracy, wearied and disgusted by the manner in which the Govern- ment permits their once high and influential party to be trammelled and trampled upon by Mr. O'CONNELL and bis followers, are beginning to exhibit strong symptoms of dis- taste and dissatisfaction. Mr. O'CONNELL is preparing an address to Ministers, entreating them not to resign if they are defeated in the House of Lords upon the Irish Municipal Reform Bill. This sort of trickery is getting stale, and is as sickening to those who despise the mummery, as it is degrad- ing to those who suggest and countenance it. THE extraordinary letter professing to have been addressed by Lieutenant FRANCISCO DE SONZA CANAVARRO to Prince FERDINAND AUGUSTUS of SAXE COBURG, and which has been during the last few months most industriously circulated in this country, has been distinctly disclaimed by the alleged writer, in a letter addressed to the Editor of the Times, which appeal's in that paper of . Monday. We never bad a second opinion upon the subject, reserving only in our minds, the possibility that Lieutenant DE SONZA CANAVARRO was " very mad indeed." This, however, does not appear to be the case, and the result is, that the imaginary letter is a lioax of the grossest and most unwarrantable nature. ON Tuesday Mr. EWART moved, in the House of Com- mons, for leave to bring in a Bill for destroying the law of primogeniture, and for dividing the landed property of intes- tates equally amongst the children. In eulogising the princi- ple of this measure, the Honourable Gentleman took occasion to observe that it had been adopted in Prussia, France, and Austria, and in the States of America, of which more anon; and, in all his eulogies upon these proposed changes, he was earnestly seconded by Mr. ROEBUCK, who advocated them, as he distinctly stated, because he believed their success would have the effect of eventually breaking down the aristocracy, and— oh ! the bathos of the Bath Member— prevent the opposition of great lauded proprietors to projected railroads in their neighbourhoods. The speech of Lord JOHN RUSSELL upon this occasion is sufficiently remarkable to deserve a separate place for itself:— . Lord J. RUSSELL thought it had been sufficiently proved, both by his hon. friends the Attorney and the Solicitor- General, that if they considered barely the Bill which it was proposed to bring in, the effect of that Bill must be nearly inoperative, and the Hon. Member for Lon- don had very fairly admitted that such would be the operation of the Bill. But the question which the Hon. Member for London went on to state was this— that although the Bill of the Hon. Member for Li- verpool would, if passed, be almost inoperative, yet it was right that we should have the opinion of the Legislature expressed that a divi- sion of property upon the principles recognised by the present law of real property was unjust. Now, he could not agree with that view of the subject. ( Hear, hear.) The House had two propositions sub- mitted to it. One was, that leave should be given to bring in a Bill which would be almost inoperative ; the other, that the Legislature should, by assenting to this step, issue a declaration that the present law respecting the distribution of real property was not founded on justice. Why, if they did so, would they stop there ?—( Cheers.) If they were to agree that, under the present law, there was an unjust division of real property, they could not avoid the argument which was so successfully urged by the friend.* of the present French law of pro- perty in the French Chambers, namely, that when a father had a cer- tain number of children, he should only be at liberty to leave a certain portion of it to one child. The Bill, then, was not to be wholly inoperative, out was intended to carry us one step further, the reasons for which the Hon. Member for London and the Hon. Member for Bath knew so well how to urge, and they would contend, that the Legislature having declared that the law which regulated the distribution of real property was unjust, the law should be made general and uniform, and should not apply merely to one case out of 100. As, therefore, it appeared to him tnat the Bill, as a measure, wonld be inoperative, he did not oppose it because it was brought forward in a thin House, and because ne did not wish to give any encouragement, as far as his vote went, to any prospective alteration in the law of the country as it regarded real properly— not wishing to get rid of the motion by voting for the previous question, he should give a direct negative to the introduction of the Bill. The peculiarly striking feature of this speech is the positive contradiction which it contains in spirit and principle to the course pursued by the Noble Lord with regard to the Irish Tithe Bill; in " which, after Mr. O'CONNELL and his satellites had distinctly and openly declared that nothing short of the entire abolition of tithes would satisfy Ireland, that, in point of fact, the Irish would pay no tithes, and that he only accepted the present measure as a preliminary or an instal- ment of the eventual relief be was resolved upon, Lord JOHN RUSSELL advocated, countenanced, and supported the Bill, in company with all the rest of his MAJESTY'S Ministers. Is not this of itself— even did it stand alone and insulated— a fact sufficiently strong to confirm the often and yet vainly denied power of Mr. O'CONNELL over the Government of the country? When Mr. O'CONNELL dictates. Lord JOHN RUS- SELL obeys: when Mr. E\ vART or Mi". ROEBUCK suggests, Lord JOHN RUSSF. LL opposes ; and in that opposition, most justly grounded upon the purest principles of the law and the Constitution, displays to the country at large the fact, that whenever the Irish Agitator commauds, his Lordship is ready and willing to advocate and abet, and support that, which is avowedly wrong and mischievous, at the same time being fully conscious of what is decidedly right and perfectly safe. How Messrs. ROEBUCK and EWART may relish the difference of treatment which they experience at the hands of the Noble Lord and his colleagues, from that with which Mr. O'CONNELL is favoured, we do not pretend to guess. With regard to the reference made by Mr. EWART to the system aud practice of the United States, we have a word or two to say. 11 is true that the cry from one end of America to the other is against the tyranny of our laws relating to the descent of property ; but it is also true, that the practice of self- defence against the American system, and for family pur- poses, is universal, by means of uncertain round- about mea- sures, taken in order to arrive at the very same results pro- ducible from our existing laws, which Messrs. EWART and ROEBUCK are so anxious to repeal— we mean the monopoly of property and power in the person of the first- born male descendant. This is perfectly natural, and as it ought to be. On whom can a father more confidently rely than upon his eldest son to protect his mother and the rest of her children ? But mark the consequences in America— in default of the laws of America giving the first- born a proper control over the father's pro- perty, every wild and desperate scheme is resorted to by parents, on " their death beds, to produce the effect which out- laws of primogeniture alone can secure. Take for example a merchant in the United States. He carries oil business to the extent ofhis capital and credit, aud has brought up his eldest son as his natural and lineal suc- cessor to his trade. Iu order to prevent in case of death, abso- lute ruin to the whole of his family by a sudden division of interests for creditors, and the litigations between his children almost inseparable from such an event, he makes what is there called a " confidential assignment" of all his property to trus- tees ; so that instead of a widow and children having a com- mon protection from the laws, as in this country, the eldest son, together with his mother, brothers, aud sisters, are all thrown into the power of trustees, under an assignment which, as it is in itself an evasion of the Republican law, affords no guarantee of a proper performance of the trusteeship. And yet there are no means known to the laws of any one of the States of America, by which these " confidential assign- ments" can be set aside, whether the eldest born is the tool for exclusion, or whether the assignee be merely a fictitious creditor, whose office is to exclude all real creditors from the benefit of the assignment; and yet the fact is, and we can prove it, that where there is one will made in the United States, or one instance of a common division of property, there are one thousand of these " confidential assignments" made by fathers in anticipation of their deaths, or of failure in business. In fact, as we are informed, these confidential assignments are patterns of transatlantic legislation which it would not exactly suit the British nation to adopt. We certainly are glad to find Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his colleagues evincing a disposition to make a stand somewhere. The Reform Bill made England essentially republican— the Municipal Corporation Reform Bill has made it so practically, in a limited sphere. Destroy the laws of primogeniture, and it becomes universally so. they go to sea. So much enter the navy." for the eagerness of the men to BY a public official notice ( in the Canton Register of the 1st of December last), bearing date November 21st, 1835, it appears that his MAJESTY'S Superintendents for the trade in China proposed sending one of their body to Lin Tin, on the 25th of that month, to reside at that anchorage, in order to grant port clearances to British vessels, and to transact other business connected with the trade to Canton, & c. & c. Hence it would appear that the report so long in circula- tion that these functionaries were neither recognised nor per- mitted by the Chinese Government to proceed to, or reside at Canton, is substantially correct. The cause of this exclusion may be unquestionably traced to the ill- advised proceedings of 1S34. It has also been stated, that the three Superintendents and their numerous staff of secretary, clerks, surgeons, chap- lain, interpreters, tea- inspectors, & c. & c. & c., receive from the British Government, pay and allowances to the amount of 20,0001. per annum. For the correctness of this statement we do not vouch : indeed, it is with a view of ascertaining the fact, through the kindness of some of our correspondents, that we mention what we have heard : because it does seem ex- traordinary that the country should, under a Ministry which so evidently and notoriously governs without patronage, be paj'ing so large a sum to functionaries who are not even ac- knowledged by the Government to which they are sent, and who, by their own official announcement, declare the necessity which exists for placing at least one of themselves in residence at Lin Tin, to exercise his avocations amongst a fleet of smugglers ; more especially when it is said by those who ought to know, that a Consul, with a salary of S001. per annum, would adequately perform every duty that could be required there. IT seems that Mr. CHARLES WOOD'S declaration, that men never were found so ready to enter the navy as at present, and that the ships ordered to be brought forward were overflowing with sailors, has given great satisfaction to the patriots. What Mr. WOOD said as to numbers, may be true enough— but quantity is not always to be taken as a test of quality. Mr. WOOD'S eloquence might be adduced. Mr. WOOD would talk for two hours, aud not say so much as Sir ROBERT PEEL would say in ten minutes. There may be numbers of men ready to enter the navy— there were numbers ready to enter even the British Legion— but let Us see them— have them up— muster them— inspect them, and see what they are. There are plenty of men ready to euter themselves as members of a Government— no lack of hands— no man holds back for want of qualification— that must be tried by others. Now, in answer to Mr. WOOD'S self- complaisant statement about the navy, we will venture to say, thatout of all the ships commissioned to support the " British arms" in Spain, there will not be more than two, decently manned. And we will tell Mr. WOOD something more ; that of the Captains of the ill- manned ships, who care nothing for the frowns of the O'CON- NELL Board of Admiralty, there are more than two or three who are determined to demand surveys of their crews before AT a period when millions of capital are, if not expended, at least risked in the wildest and most visionary of specula- tions, and when prospectuses for Antipodean mines with unpronouncable names, continental railroads into which spade has never been struck, and navigable canals over South American mountains into which water will never flow, it gives us great pleasure to perceive that the attention of British capitalists of sober miuds and ample means has been attracted to the improvement of our own principality of Wales, by the establishment of a Bank capable of affording to the agricul- tural and mining interests of that beautiful and loyal part of the British empire, a judicious and provident accommodation, and a more extended and safer monetary system than has heretofore existed there. These desirable objects are certain of attainment by the opening of " the North and South Wales Banking Com- pany,'''' to which we confidently hope and expect that the most wealthy amongst the Welsh will give every aid and support. North Wales demands the succour of a Bank framed upon a broad national basis, which is alone calculated to inspire confidence amongst the ancient Britons. The principles of this Bank appear to be the best calculated to promote the welfare of the principality, and to open to its people the means of securely investing whatever small surplus of capital they may have accumulated; while, on the other hand, the influx of half a million of money into a district so greatly requiring it, cannot fail to produce the most strik- ing advantages. That Wales possesses natural sources of wealth in abundance, nobody can deny. All that is wanting to render the advantages she enjoys available for her pros- perity, is capital. Her mines are amongst the most pro- ductive in the universe, and yet the fortunate circumstances that have led to the triumphantly successful working of some of them have not operated to insure the prosperity of others, although many of them are of high promise. The earth may be made to " yield its increase," but enterprise and industry can achieve little without the sinews that add strength to action. The introduction of increased capital will convert many an apparently barren rock into gold. With reference to agriculture, Wales has riches abundant on its surface. The Welch farmers have long felt the need of that assistance which the prudent capitalist is always ready to contribute, benefitting others while recompensing himself for his care and responsibility. To the agriculturists especially, the establishment of the Bank to which we refer, founded as it is upon the safest and most certain of all principles, cannot fail to prove of the greatest advantage. Wales has also its extensive manufactures. If their prospe- rity have not been commensurate with that of their English rivals, it is only because the means have not been so much within the reach of Wales as they have been within that of England. Its iron and flannels have, it is true, maintained their supremacy in the English market, but even they have not continued to improve as they would have done had the manufacturer been enabled to obtain the aid which in England is so easily procured. The agriculturist, the miner, and the manufacturer, may expect equally to reap advantages from the institution of The North and South Wales Banking Com- pany, and hence its benefits will necessarily spread through every class of society. As we have already said, we trust the undertaking will receive the support of the more opulent and influential part of the population of Wales, for it is by im- proving the condition of the actual labourer, above and beneath the scfil, that the lord of the land is really benefitted. If the circumstances of the poor are bettered, the necessary result is the amelioration of the condition of the rich. The intro- duction of capital into Wales, in the manner to which we refer, appears to us to be of immense importance to both. TO JOHN BULL. U. S. C., 15th April, 1836. Sir,— 1The debate on Military Flogging is so striking an illustration of the reckless inconsistency with which Whigs and Radicals trifle with the discipline of the army, for the advance- ment of their own selfish objects of courting'popularity, that I request your attention to tile following facts :— In 1834, Lieutenant- Colonel EVANS voted in favour of Major FANCOURT'S motion for the entire abolition of corporal pu- nishments. On no occasion previous to 1835 has the Gallant Colonel ever made any reservation of the necessity of retain- ing the power of flogging on service in the field. When iu 1833, as a candidate for Westminster, he success- fully defeated Sir JOHN CAM HOBHOUSE, who, as Secretary at War, had apologised to his constituents for bringing in the Mutiny Bill retaining the power of military flogging, the Gallant Colonel took " the benefit of his opponent's inconsis- tency, and as a warm friend to the entire abolition came into Parliament as the Westminster patriot. Lord IIOWICK, in his speech on Wednesday night, stated, 126 JOHN BULL. April 10. tliat the Gallant Colonel had never allowed his sentiments to transpire of the necessity of flogging on service, until after his acceptance of thrt command of the Auxiliary Legion— when, Io ! the Westminster patriot suddenly turns round on his own speeches and his votes, and, having ridden into St. Stephen's on the shoulders of Mr. PLACE, the patriot, and the West- minster tailors, unceremoniously throws them over, the mo- ment his Excellency is about to enact a part abroad, which his own self- love, and the hopes of his liberal friends, promised should dim the lustre of the aims of WELLINGTON in the glorious fields of Spain. Mr. O'CONNELL, in defending his friend Colonel EVANS, described flogging as a punishment only tit for dogs; but who has ever flogged so liberally as his friend the Patriot. Member for Westminster ? Sir HENRY HARDINGE said no British force which ever left our shores had beeu so much sub- jected to this punishment as the soldiers of EVANS'S legion. I do not agree with the Gallant Officer in his conclusion, that, the quantity proves the necessity— the evidence of the officers from Spain examined before the Commission proves too much. I say Colonel EVANS has abused the power, and liere is the proof. Lieut.- Colonel DICKSON, in his evidence, slates, that in Santander and in other quarters " still a great many men were punished up to the latest day, in consequence of their not cleaning themselves." " Numbers of men were called out, when found dirty, and instead of a day's confinement, were punished by the Provost.'" " The system of Provost was by order of the Lieut.- General ( Lieut.- Colonel EVANS). I had not established the Provost of the regiment till the arrival of the Lieut.- General, who ordered me to do so." " The British Articles of War were made use of on four Courts- Martial." Next refer to Mr. J. W., p. 178:—" Perhaps any other punishment substituted for corporal punishment might have Lad a sufficient effect, and maintained the discipline of the force." After stating that several of the officers considered the sys- tem adopted ( of flogging) a sort of inconsistency on the part of the General, he states that corporal punishment had a considerable effect in reclaiming " desperate characters.'' 1 Now turn to the Articles of War, by which, British subjects, enlisting into the Legion, were promised that the discipline of the corps should be carried on. The 101st Article enacts that Provosts have only'power " to punish on the spot, or the same day, those whom they may find in the immediate act of committing breaches of good order and military discipline; their duties being limited to the punishment of offenders whom they may detect in the actual commission of any crime,"''' & c. & c. Lieut.- Colonel DICKSON says, " numbers of men were called out for being dirty'''' on parade in a garrison town, the men regularly under arms, and flogged by the Provost. This is contrary to the letter and spirit of the Article of War, con- trary to the practice and custom of tile army, and is so illegal, that I have no doubt any officer who has served during the Peninsular war, will concur with Lieut. BLOOD, who states, that even on the line of march, and in presence of the enemy, a drum- head Court- Martial was held for the punish- ment of soldiers when assembled under arms, the Provost Marshal's power being limited to the punishment of stragglers and marauders taken in tile act of commmitting some crime when out of sight of the regular authorities, and when their Officers were not present. It is thus very clear that our Radical patriot, the instant lie is hoisted with power, does not hesitate to use authority arbitrarily, and even illegally, casting his promises and his consistency to the winds the moment they interfere with the indulgence of his power, his ambition, or his temper. If a Conservative Commander had thus conducted himself, should we not have had petitions to the Representatives of the people from the flogged patriots of Westminster, denouncing the tyrant, who could thus punish them for the misdemeanour of being dirty on parade, in a way that O'CON- NELL says is not even fit for a dog! Pray Sir, lash these mock patriots, these liberal hypocrites, by exercising your flagellatory powers in the " usual manner." Yours, MILES. It is quite clear that these illegally flogged soldiers have a remedy at common law against their commanding officer, We conclude that when the survivors reach England they will petition Parliament on their grievances, and we shall then see what course the reformed House of Commons will adopt towards the victims of corporal punishment, illegally inflicted. THROUGH inadvertence of which we are ashamed, and for which we can never sufficiently apologise to our readers, we last week omitted the report of a speech delivered at the O'CONNELL dinner at Hull, on Wednesday se'nnight. We do all in our power to redeem ourselves in the opinion of our friends by giving it now :— The speech of JOHN GULLY, Esq., M. P., for Pontefract, ata public dinner at Hull, on Wednesday, the 6th of April, 1836 :— Mr. GULLY, in acknowledging the toast, spoke at some length; [ we have only room for a few passages of his speech] he said— The toast which you have been this moment so kind as to drink in the manner which you have drunk it, aud coupling me with the Re- formers of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it has imposed upon me a task I feel quite incapable to doing that justice to it that it requires. But I am quite sure, gentlemen, from your knowledge of me, that any inadequacy that I may have from my ability to perform that duty, that your kindness will excuse me. Gentlemen, I consider it a point of the greatest importance, wherein the Reformers of the West Riding of Yorkshire, consisting of the largest county in the kingdom, possessing a greater number of inhabitants, and of greater wealth than any county, not only in England, but I should suppose in the whole world; and I am happy to say, that they have the bold- ness and disposition to return the greater portion of the Members for that county, liberal and constitutional Reformers. ( Applause.) Sir, in the West Riding I have received honours which I never expected nor never anticipated— the honour of representing the ancient borough of Pontefract, and I feel grateful for the manner in which I have been returned and the opposition I have always had to contend with ( applause)— and if I felt grateful for nothing else to the West Riding of Yorkshire, since I have been there, I do feel grateful to the consti- tuency of Pontefract, for having rejected two men, no less personages than Mr. Raphael and Mr. Hardy ( cheers and laughter) ; and in returning me of little importance, and rejecting them as of great importance. ( Cheers.) Men who I believe did more— who professed purity of election, and brought a charge against that virtuous Liberal — I wish I could pay him the compliment, I wish I could express my feelings in that manner which I feel towards him— but to bring a charge against him for trafficking in Parliament, this man who was the common report when Mr. Raphael was there, that he did more to contaminate the people, more than any man who ever stood for Pontefract, except Mr. Hardy. ( Cheers.) Whether in Parlia- ment or out of Parliament, gentlemen, I have been for some years a Reformer. I have experienced, I have witnessed the persecutions of Tory Governments, and I believe none or few has felt it more than the county of Yorkshire. I say the whole Tory Govern- ment, was a Government of misrule in England, and would have brought England but I believe for the Reform Bill, as bad as Ireland. ' And I will only refer to the King's Speechfor 1831, and 1836, nothing ' but lamentation for the disturbance of the various counties in Eng- land, and nothing but deploring the state of Ireland, and the strong hand of the law must be put in force. That was the King's speeches in those days; and I will only appeal to the King's speech for 1836, and that I think is sufficient to see what Reform has done. I had not the honour and pleasure of knowing Mr. O'Connell at the time I entered Parliament, and yet for months afterwards ; I voted on the Coercion Bill, convinced in my own mind that I was voting for the good of the country, and not from any personal regard for Mr. O'Connell, or any gentleman in Ireland.. But, gentlemen, I believe Mr. O'Connell has prostrated his enemies before him. I thank yon, gentlemen, for the patience with which you have heard me. ( Applause.) IN- the Gazette of Friday, the 8th inst., was published the usual quarterly return of the liabilities and assets of the Bank of England, from the 12th of January to the 5th of April. From the Times of Monday we gather the following results, which are by no means unimportant:— The average of the month ending the 5th inst., as compared with the average of the month ending the 12th of January, shows an increase in the circulation of 972,0001., a decrease in the deposits of 6,645,0001., and an increase in the stock of bullion of 300,0001. Wherefore it appears that the decrease in the liabilities is 5,673,0001., and this represents the decrease in the total quantity of money in the month ending the 5th inst., as compared with thenrtftith ending the 12th of January, in so far as regards the administration of the currency by the Bank of England. The yearly comparison is as follows :— The average of the month ending the 5th inst., as compared with the average of the month ending the 5th of May, 1835, shows a decrease in the circulation of 114,0001., an increase m the deposits of 2,487,0001., and an increase in the stock of bullion of 1,617,0001. Wherefore it appears that the increase in the liabilities is - 2,373,0001., and this represents the in- crease in the total quantity of money in the month ending the 5th inst., as compared with the month ending the 5th of May, 1835, in so far as regards the administration of the currency by the Bank of England. The changes in the stock of bullion have taken place in the follow- ing manner and proportions:— In the month ending the 28th of July, 1835, as com- pared with the month ending the 5th of May, 1835, there £ is an increase of 192,000 In the month ending the 20th of October, 1835, as compared with the month ending the 28 th of July, 1835, there is a decrease of 225,000 In the mbntli ending the 12th of January, 1836, as com- pared with the month ending the 20th of October, 1835, there is an increase of .. .. .. 1,350,000 And in the month ending the 5th inst., as compared with the month ending the 12th of January, there is an in- crease of 300,000 Which leaves upon balance an increase of 1,617,000 The changes and fluctuations in the circlnation will appear from the following statement:— In the month ending the 28th of July, 1835, as compared with the month ending the 5th of May, 1835, there is an increase of .. .. £ 21,000 In the month ending the 20th of October, 1835, as com- pared with the month ending the 28th of July, 1835, there is a decrease of .. 930,000 In the month ending the 12th of January, .1836, as com- pared with the month ending the 20th of October, 1835, there is a decrease of 177,000 And in the month ending the 5th instant, compared with the month ending the 12th of J anuary, there is an increase of 972,000 Which leaves upon balance a decrease of 114,000 The following are the changes and fluctuations which have taken place in the deposits:— In the month ending the 28th of July, 1835, as compared with the month ending the 5th of May, 1835, there is an £. increase of 1,821,000 In the month ending the 20th of October, 1835, as compared with the month ending the ' 28th of July, 1835, there is an increase of 2,991,000 In the month ending the 12th of January. 1836, as com- pared with the month ending the 20th of October, 1835, there is an increase of .. .. 4,320,000 And in the month ending the 5th instant, as compared with the month endingthel2thef January, there is a decrease of 6,645,000 Which leaves upon balance an increase of 2,487,030 THEATRICALS. WE are not often able to indulge ourselves in the luxury of thea- trical criticism— for luxury it is to write upon subjects connected only with amusemeut— and connected with which the rebels and rene- gades are merely villains of the hour, whose vices and villanies are put off with the clothes which they have two hours before assumed. But there are occasions upon which we consider it our duty to pay a tribute to extraordinary merit in a new favourite, and a gratification to attract attention to the claims of an old one. The former of these feelings induces as to notice the performance of Mr, BARNETT in Monsieur Jacques, at the St. James's Theatre— a performance which we consider to be an eposh in dramatic history. Never having seen Mr. BARNETT in any other character, it is impos- sible for us to say how wide the range of his power may be— but as far as that one part is concerned, we have no hesitation in pronounc- ing it perfect. There is no straining after effect— no effort— no gri- mace. It is all nature. The acting— if acting that is to be called which appears to be none— seems to come from the very heart of the actor. That it goes to the hearts of his audience, its visible effects upon them may most satisfactorily testify. Mr. BARNETT'S successful career terminated on Easter Monday, with a crowded house for his own benefit, upon which occasion, although the day is proverbially a noisy one in theatres, the drop- ping of a pin might have been heard during his performance. So much for present success, and its consequent popularity: turn we now to the claims of one of the most indefatigable and popular caterers for public amusement, who to- morrow takes a farewell benefit at the Olympic. We mean Mr. THOMAS DIBDIN, the author of upwards of one hundred successful dramas— amongst which are to be enumerated The Cabinet, The Jew and the Doctor, The English Fleet, and almost all the popular plays, operas, and farces of the period at which he was incessantly employed in dramatic literature. To- morrow he bids farewell to the public, and appears himself upon the stage, in the character oiAbednego, in his own farce, which we have just named— and, as the bills announce, makes his last curtsey, as Mother Goose, in his celebrated pantomime of that name. There can be little doubt but that the Olympic will be filled to an overflow— the very name of DIBDIN has a charm to British ears ; and the national feeling of regard for the memory of the father, to whom the British sailor is indebted for some of the most spirit- stiring songs in the language, will prompt the patriot to uphold the son, while the admirer of genius and the lover of the drama will not fail to afford, at least, an equal degree of support to that son himself, upon his own account, and for his own sake alone. We are extremely glad to hear that the community at the Lyceum are doing extremely well. We have no great affection for republics ; but in an emergency, like that under which the present " body" act, we rejoice to find that the united efforts of so many excellent artists are successful. Mr. COOPER, the manager of Drnry Lane, takes his benefit on Thursday next, upon which occasion her Majesty the QUEEN has been graciously pleased to command the performances, which her MAJESTY will honour with her presence. We believe that this is an unprecedented mark of Royal favour, and certain it is that it could not have been more judiciously bestowed. Mr. COOPER is, both in public and private life, a most meritorious and exemplary member of the profession to which he belongs, and a mark of such illustrious consideration as he has received in this command, must be gratifying to him in the highest degree. In an excellent newly- established paper, The Ulster Times, we find the following: — The late mysterious affair in Leicestershire, which has terminated so fatally, still continues an engrossing theme of conversation. The eneral statement seems to be, that the unfortunate lady, who had een married but a few years, had suffered, uncomplaining, extreme personal cruelty; and after her decease there were marks of injuries discovered which tended to prove the assertion. Her father had at length resolved to withdraw her from this unfortunate union ; but it was then too late, as she died heart- broken within five days after her removal. This is the form in which the tragic story has gone abroad, the accuracy of which none but the parties themselves can decide; but we sincerely hope, when the first grief for her loss is over, that some statement may be made which will place the matter in a less painful point of view than at present. The Warder says :— A correspondent informs us that, on the 17th ult., a body of Rib- bonmen assembled, in open day, in the town and neighbourhood of Leganany, near Rathfriland, armed, provided with drums, fifes, and green colours; and that they marched in procession to a cottage be- longing to Captain SCOTT, in Clanvaraghan, over which they fired several shots, and then went on to a public- house in Backaderry, where they regaled themselves with plentiful libations of whiskey. This occurred, as we have stated, in the neighbourhood of Rathfri- land— to which town, it appears, a detachment of military had been previously ordered, on the requisition of Captain CROFTON. It is to be presumed that this illegal band escaped the vigilance of the Police Magistrate. " It is true," our correspondent adds, in conclusion, " they ( the Ribbonmen) did not commit the damnatory offence of drinking ' The glorious Memory.' They only drank the National toasts of their King, DANIEL O'CONNELL, and his wonder- working allies, the present Ministry." The Maidstone Journal says:— We understand thatseveral of the Liberals of this town have refused to pay the Minister of the parish the customary fee called Easter Offerings, while from some of these very persons the Rev. Gentleman might, if he pleased, demand a guinea for the tithe of their gardens. The Brighton Gazette says:— Nothing can show more decidedly than the late parochial elections in this town the rapid growth of Conservatism. Every parochial officer, as well those elected by the voice of their townsmen as those appointed by the Magistrates," is this year a Conservative,— a circum- stance which has not occurred in Brighton for many years. Again we congratulate the public most heartily upon such a cheering har- binger of future success. The following is from Manchester: — Contrary to all expectations, STURGES BOURNE has again been called into life in the election for Churchwardens for this parish. This is the more extraordinary, as well as the more unreasonable, many think, inasmuch as it was well known that no Church- rate would be attempted this year ; but it would appear that, rate or no rate, unless there is a contest it will not satisfy the grumblers. Well, the grumblers have had one, and they have been beaten to their heart's content. It did not excite much interest till the last day, when there was much excitement, aud apparently each party did its utmost. The Conservative majority was, nevertheless, only reduced fifteen votes on the last day, which terminated at four o clock on Monday, Conservative majority 235. The original list contained the names of Mr. R. C. Sharp, Mr. R. F. Hodson, and Mr. George Peel; all Churchmen. The amended list, proposed by Mr. Prentice, of the Manchester Times, contains the names of Mr. George Peel, Churchman; Mr. Henry M'Connell, and Mr. James Murray, Unitarians. Wednesday a ballot was taken at the East India House for the choice of six Directors to serve for the next four years, in the room of Wm. Astell, Esq., Wm. B. Bayley, Esq., Russell Ellice,- Esq., Richard Jenkins, Esq., Campbell Marjoribanks, Esq., and John Masterman, Esq., who go out by rotation. The following gentle- men, recommended by the Court of Directors, were elected without opposition, viz.:— John Cotton, Esq., John Forbes, Esq., John Loch, Esq., Charles Mills, Esq., Henry Shank, Esq., and Henry St. George Tucker, Esq.— The thanks of the same Court were voted unanimously to Wm. STANLEY, Esq., Chairman, and Sir James R. CARNAC, Bart., Deputy Chairman, for their great application and attention to the affairs of the East India Company during the past year. It is said that JOHN SMITH, Esq., of Grosvenor- square, and Dale- park, Sussex; W. T. COPELAND, Esq., M. P., of Lincoln's Inn- fields, and Leyton, Essex ( the present Lord Mayor); and THOMAS W. BEAUMONT, Esq., M. P., of 144, Piccadilly, and Hexham Abbey, Northumberland, are to be created Baronets. A meeting of Conservative Peers took place on Tuesday at Apsley House. The number present was eighty- three, among whom were the following:— Dukes of Wellington, Gordon, Newcastle, Beaufort, Dorset; Marquesses of Abercorn and Exeter; Earls of Devon, Westmoreland, Brownlow, Winchilsea, Sandwich, Abingdon, J ersey, Haddington, Clare, Hardwicke, Delawarr, Mountedgecombe, Bever ley, Mansfield, Rosslyn, Ripon, Wilton, Verulam, Limerick, De Grey, Falmouth, Kinnoul, Aberdeen, < fec.; Viscounts Strangford » Exmouth, Beresford, & c.; Lords St. John, Monson, Sondes, Wal- lace, Alvanley, Ellenborough, Redesdale, Colchester, Fitzgerald, De Lisle, Oriel, Bexley, Cowley, Heytesbury, Stuart de Rothesay, Lyndhurst, Clanwilliam, < fec. The elevation of the Right Hon. DOMINICK BROWN to the Peerage by the title of Baron ORANMORE, was gazetted on Tuesday. A Mastership in Chancery, now in the gift of the Crown, is vacant by the death of JAMES TROWER, Esq. It is rumoured that A. H. LYNCH, Esq., M. P., and a Barrister at the Chancery bar, will be the new Master. Lord PALMERSTON lhas been upon an election visit to Tiverton, for which borough Mr. DICKINSON has declared his intention of coming forward upon Conservative principles whenever an election takes place. The circumstance of one of the principal Secretaries of State canvassing the borough put the friends of Mr. DICKINSON upon the alert, and they set to work to ascertain the comparative claims of both gentlemen, the result of which proved beyond all doubt that Mr. DICKINSON will be one of the sitting Members at the next election. Lord PALMERSTON and Mr. HEATHCOTE may settle the other seat between them, but to all appearance his Lordship will goto the wall. The Kentish Gazette says— A feeler has been put forth by one of the ladies of the Duke of BEDFORD'S establishment, amongst the tradesmen of Dover, to ascertain whether Lord JOHN RUSSELL would stand any chance of success, in the event of his offering himself, should there be a dissolution of Parliament? Neither the lady nor the gentleman need trouble themselves. Dr. BOWRING arrived at Brussels last week in order to have an interview with the Government relative to the Paris, Brussels, and London railroad scheme. The Post says it was maliciously reported that the Doctor imagined the splendid preparations making in honour of the birth- day of the Prince Royal were intended as a welcome him and his colleagues. Large and unanimous public meetings have been held to resis Mr. P. THOMSON'S new Bill for the regulation of factories. Two at Aprit 17. JOHN BULL 127 Leeds, one each at Halifax, Huddersfield, Dewsbury, and Keighley — all for ten hours, and for restraining the moving power. Similar meetings have been held in Cheshire and Lancashire. The application for tickets for the Westminster Conservativedinner have been so numerous, that the banquet will be on a much more extensive scale than was at first anticipated. The Conservatives of Lewes have at length emancipated themselves from the thraldom of the Radicals. In the late local elections the high constable, headboroughs, overseers, & c., are all Conservatives to a man; and it will be their own fault if they permit the choice to be taken from their hands. The Hon. HENRY FITZROV and Mr. D'ISRAELI dined last week with the Star Conservative Club, and declared their intention of offering themselves as candidates for the representation of the borough at the next election. It is thought that this announcement will induce one at least of the sitting Mem- bers to retire. , The marriages of the Misses PARKER, daughters of the Hon. Colonel PARKER, and nieces of the Earl of MACCLESFIELD, to the Earl of ANTRIM and the Hon. JOHN DCTTON, second son of Lord SHER- BORNE, are expected to take place the first week in May. A female is exhibiting in London as NINA LASSAVE— the real NINA, the favourite of FIESCHI, is doing the same thing at Toulouse. HUSSAIN SAH, better known as TUANKO LONG, Sultan of Singa- pore, died at Malacca on the 2d of September. He was interred the following afternoon with military honours, minute guns being fired corresponding with the number of years he had attained. The following scene is reported in the Bury Herald to have oc- curred last week before the Magistrates assembled in Petty Sessions at Ipswich. The Mr. BLOMFIELD who makes such a conspicuous figure in the report, possesses a very elliptical and sententious style of oratory:— George Blomfield, brewer, St. Clement's, was summoned for non- payment of poor- rates. The Mayor: You are a defaulter to the amount of 16s., how is that ?— Blomfield ( smiling, and at the same time letting his hat drop on the floor) : Without money— large family and nothing to do— that is all. Rates very high— must employ a few of the long- gowned gentlemen against the parish— only asked for a week, but was told I must be summoned— have been waiting here two hours in the rain.— Mr. II a- mer ( the collector): I could not stay the summons, in consequence of the order which I received from the Board of Guardians.— Blomfield: Don't blame you; I blame the stupid Overseers, the stupid Guardians, and the stupid everything.— " ITie rates were then paid, but Mr. Blomfield returned in the course of a few minutes, ana addressing the Mayor, said, But why should I be summoned for the registration shilling ?— The Mayor: That pre- serves your franchise.— Mr. Lawrance: And the Magistrates are empowered to enforce it.— Blomfield: That shilling would get my poor children three loaves of bread.— Mr. Lawrance: But yon have your vote.— Blomfield: Well, what is the good of that, compared to the other ? Why should I be summoned for one shilling ? that is the point that I rest upon— the payment of the shilling ought to be a vo- luntary act.— Mr. Lawrance: I recommend you to keep your fran- chise; and if there is any dispute Blomfield: There is no dispute — the money is paid, and I have been obliged to borrow the shilling.— The Mayor: Don't you think the franchise worth a shilling ?— Blomfield: Shilling, Sir! Why I would give fifty shillings to be with- out it.— Mr. Lawrance: The Act of Parliament renders it necessary that you should pay the shilling.— Blumfield: But show me the sta- tute, the section, and chapter.— Mr. Lawrance: Then you are re- ferred to the Reform Act.— The Mayor: I suppose you have not studied the Reform Act.— Blomfield: Reform Act! I wish I had never heard the name of it, and I wish yon good morning.— Exit. We learn from the Boston Herald, that much dissatisfaction exists amongst the inhabitants of Grimsby, in consequence of the appoint- ment of Magistrates under the Municipal Reform Act having been made purely from political motives, and without any regard to the talent, wealth, or scale of society to which they severally belong. It appears that of the present Magistrates— all of course Whig- Radical— one is a tide- waiter in the customs, and was declared ineligible, as such, to be a member of the town council, and resigned his pre- tensions in consequence. One is the keeper of a common dram shop; and another a clerk to the Grimsby Dock Company, at a salary of less than one hundred pounds a- year, and who has not been a house- holder more than eight months. While on the other hand, Captain HARRIS, R. N., who has laid out on the barren lands of the Corpora- tion, a sum little short of 20,0001., and is about to lay out a still further sum, in augmenting his magnificent manufactory, who by means of the employment given by him to the poor, is circulating in the town more than 5,0001. a year, has been studiously excluded, by the Council, from the number of Magistrates. A memorial to the proper quarter, touching this display of Ministerial disinterestedness, is shortly to be presented. We perceive, says the Boston Herald, by the London papers, that it is proposed to form a railway from Boston to London. We have not yet seen a prospectus, but we should think there is about as much chance of the scheme being carried into effec t as there is of our having a railway from here to the moon, with a branch to the sun. The first anniversary festival of the City of London Conservative Association was held on Wednesday at Covent Garden Theatre, and it may be safely averred that a scene of such splendour has never been witnessed on any similar occasion. A platform was erected over the pit, connecting it with the stage, and thus converting the whole interior of the edifice into a vast saloon, in which accommoda- tion was provided for upwards of 1,000 persons. The multitude of the assembly, the size of the area, the elegance of its embellishments, the profusion and brilliancy of the lights by which it was illuminated, and, above all, the dazzling charms— both natural and ornamental — of the ladies who crowded the boxes to witness the proceedings, made Covent Garden Theatre, on this occasion, a scene of un- parralleled and indescribable grandeur. The effect was still more interesting when those toasts which embody a more peculiar appeal to feelings of loyalty called the whole immense com- pany on their legs, and were responded to by a simultaneous raising of voices and waving of handkerchiefs. Mr. HENRY HOARE was in the chair; amongst the company were the Duke of Beaufort, the Duke of Newcastle, the Marquess of Chandos, the Earl of Lincoln, the Earl of Winchilsea, the Earl of Haddington, Lord Ashley, Lord Stormont, Lord Mahon, Lord Granville Somerset, Lord Hotham, Sir. Lyall, Mr. Alderman Winchester, Sir Claudius Hunter, Mr. Charles Barclay, and many other gentlemen eminent for wealth, intelligence, station and character in the City of London- A very numerous and effective orchestra was arranged in the lower gallery of the theatre, from whence their performance of appropriate pieces of music during the evening was attended with the best possible effect. The Ministerial papers contradict the statement that Mr. STEUART, one of the Lords of the Treasury, is to receive an appointment in the projected arrangements in the Post Office department.

It is said that the following will be the arrangements of the new Bishopricks :— Dr. ALLEN to be Bishop of ELY ; Dr. LOXGLEY, Bishop of Chichester; Dr. BUTLER, Bishop of Lichfield; and Dr. SHUTTLE- WORTH, Bishop of Ripon. A subscription has been opened for the purpose of erecting a suit- able monument to the memory of the late Venerable Lord Bishop of LICHFIELD and COVENTRY, in the Cathedral of the diocese. The Rev. Dr. ROUTH, at his tithe audit held on Thursday last, at the Rectory, at Tilehurst, set an example well worthy of imitation by reducing his tithes 25 per cent., thereby proving that he was willing to sympathise with his parishioners in the distresses which they, as agriculturists, have experienced.— Berkshire Chronicle. The court of the Rev. Canon ROGERS was held at Helston last week, when an abatement of 10 per cent, was made to the tenants on their last year's rents; a numerous party dined, and were highly pleased with the liberality of their landlord. The subscription for increasing Church accommodation in Leeds now amounts to 10,2001. At a meeting of the Committee, yesterday, it was unanimously resolved to erect the proposed new Church in the field belonging to C. BECKETT, Esq., at Mount Pleasant, a suffi- cient portion of which that gentleman has consented to dispose of on very favourable terms.— Leeds Intelligencer. It is stated in the British Magazine for this month that the number of names signed to the requisition to the Vice- Chancellor of Oxford, to renew the proceedings against Dr. HAMPDEN already amounts to nearly 400. Not 100 miles from Cork a Roman Catholic Clergyman named MATHEWS, has been for a considerable period engaged in preaching doctrines at direct variance with the essential tenets of Popery. He is remarkable for more than a common measure of intelligence and education, combined with a degree of refinement unusual amongst the ecclesiastics of his fpresent-] profession. At the close of several months he delivered a discourse on the text " Search the Scriptures," — so awakening— so contrary to the whole genius of Popery, as to bring down on him therebuke of his Bishop. The Rev. Mr. O'KEEFE was despatched with a commission to make personal inquiry into the views and transgressions of Mr. MATHEWS. After an interview of two hours with this delinquent against the laws and customs of Popery, Mr. O'KEEFE returned to the Bishop with a request, that if any further communications were to be made to Mr. MATHEWS, he might not be charged with them, as he had come to the conclusion that Mr. MATHEWS had acted in accordance with the doctrines and commands of Scripture. The astonishment of the Bishop at this annunciation may be more easily understood than described; and that astonishment, we dare say, hns not been diminished by the fact, that Mr. O'KEEFE is now following in the footsteps of Mr. MATHEWS, and is preaching what we have been taught to believe is no other than the pure Scriptural doctrines of salvation.— Dublin Record. At a meeting of the National Society for the Education of the Poor, & c., liolden at the Central School, Westminster, on Wednesday, the 13th instant, there were present the Lords Bishops of London, Winchester, Bangor, Chester and Gloucester; Hon. Mr. Justice Park, Rev. Archdeacon Cambridge, Rev. Dr. Walmsley, Rev. H. H. Norris, Wm. Cotton, Esq., James Trimmer, Esq., Joshua Watson, Esq., and the Rev. J. C. Wigram. On Friday a Synod of the Clergy of the Archdeacony of Coventry was held, the Archdeacon, Mr. SPOONER, in the chair; when it was unanimously agreed by a large assembly of the Clergy, to petition the King, in all his ecclesiastical appointments, to command the advice of those chief Pastors of the Church who may be Privy Councillors. The petition is now in the act of being circulated through the Arch- deaconry, for the signatures of those of the Clergy who did not attend the meeting. The annual Examination of the pupils in the Free Grammar School in Birmingham took placeon Tuesday and Wednesday. The two F- xhibitions were awarded to Mr. ARTHUR BAYNHAM and Air. At.

An instalment of 5 per Share is to be paid on application for Shares, and the remaining instalments to be called for at such periods as profitable investments may require, but no single call is at any time to exceed ^' 10 per Share ; and,- in order to meet the convenience of all classes of Proprietors, the Directors have re- solved to permit the payment of the whole Share or of any portion of the instal- ments at the pleasure of the holder, and to allow him interest at the rate of 4 per cent, per ann. on all sums thus paid in advance, from the time of payment to the Office until the period when they shall have become absorbed as instalments ill the progressive demand for Capital, thus retarding the general calls for Ibose who desire delay, and yet giving to every one who may be anxious to inve st his appor- tioned Capital at once in a productive manner, the means of realising immedi- ately a fair and remunerating rate of interest— a right of selection which must be convenient and advantageous to all.

SCORBUTIC AFFECTIONS.— 84, Mount- street, Grosvenor- CT square— MRS. BINGHAM ( eldest daughter of the late Mrs. Cramp, of Lewes, Brighton, and London), acquaints her friends and the public, that the peculiar mode of cure in Scorbutic Affections, is continued to be practised as usual, by a preparation entirely from herbs, unlike any hitherto exhibited, and which is so perfectly harmless! that it may be administered to the most delicate infant. Mrs. Bingham is enabled to speak with confidence of the efficacy of her remedy, having assisted her mother for many years. This remedy was dispensed by Mrs. Cramp among her friends and poorer neighbours ( for many yean gratui- tously) with unexampled success. Numberless instances of well- attested cases of complete cure in very obstinate Scrofula can be adduced, and the most respectable references given.— This medicine is strongly recommended in all eases of Nervous Debility.— Any preparation purporting to be that of Mrs. Bingham's, not directly dispensed bv herself, should he treated as spurious, and entirely divested of her sanction.— Mrs. Bingham may be consulted daily, from 11 till 2.— N.

Tic Douloreux, Gout, R'heuma- tism, Lumbatro, and Sciatica, and all painful Affections of the Nerves, giving in- stantaneous relief in the most severe paroxysms. It has been extensively em- ployed in the public and private practice of several French Physicians, who" have declared that in no case have they found it to fail in enringthose formidable and tormenting maladies. Since its' introduction into England it has in every case fully maintained the high character its unrivalled success has obtained for it on the'Continent. Patients who had for years drawn on a miserable existence, and many who had lost the use of their limbs by rheumatism and paralysis, have, by a few applications, been restored to health, strength, and comfort, after electricity, galvanism, blistering, veratrine, morphia, colchimn, and all the usual remedies had been found useless. Its astonishing and almost miraculous effects have also been experienced in the cure of nervous and rheumatic pains of the head and face, paralytic affections, contracted and stiff joints, glandukr swelling, pains of the chest and bones, chronic rheumatism, palpitation of the heart, dif- ficult respiration, < fcc.

The Consol Market, within the last few days, has been very heavy, and at one period to- day the quotation'for Money touched upon 91 %, and for the Account upon 91 % ; but at the close of business the price for the xVccount was 91 %. The Settlement, both of the English and Foreign Accounts have taken place since our last, and they have passed over without any difficulty. Exchequer Bills and India Bonds have both receded, the former being 18 to 20, and the latter at 5 to 7 pm. There has been great speculation in Spanish Bonds, occasioned by it being generally known that the advertisement for the payment of the dividend would appear ( as it has) to- day, and the price has improved to 48 % 49, at which it closed this afternoon. Several of the leading Capitalists place much reliance on Senhor Mendizabal's financial talents ; Mr. Thornton, the large Spanish Bondholder, has given £ 3,000 to receive £ 20,000, if Spanish Bonds reacn the price of 70, either for Money or Account, on or before the 31st of De- cember. There has been less fluctuation in the Portuguese Bonds during the week, and the Market, this afternoon, closed at 81X % for the Five per Cents., and U for the Three per Cents. Chi- lian Bonds are 48H, Peruvian are 25 to 26, and Columbian 33}{. All the Northern Bonds are steady, but the business done has been limited. The speculation in Shares has again been to a great extent. The " West Wheal Hooe Shares have been issued since our last, and are at K pm., but such is the confidence of persons residing in the neighbourhood of the mines that the Share agents at Plymouth are making 1 pm., which has led to many orders to purchase in our Market. Calcutta and Saugur Shares are at 2 pm. with a steady appearance. Cundy's Brighton Shares have been issued within the last day or two, ana from the superiority of the line chosen by Mr. Cundy the Shares have advanced to 1 pm. Greenwich Shares are at 9}^ pm. Between 400 and 500 men are now employed on this undertaking between London Bridge and the Nuckinger- road, and the contractor has promised to complete the whole line by midsummer. London and Birmingham Shares are 126 per Share ; Oravesend are pm.; New South Hooe are % pm.; DeptfordPier are at % pm.; Preston and Wyre are at 11 pm.; Stevenson's Brighton are 18 per Share ; Rennie's are 4% per Share; and the Grand Junction are 35t per Share.

The discussion of the Bill for declaring the responsibility of Ministers and other func- tionaries was continued on Wednesday and Thursday. The first six articles of the Bill were agreed to on the former day. _ Thirty Polish refugees have been ordered out of Paris for having signed a declaration hostile to Russia. This step was taken on the requisition of Count Pahlen. The correspondent of the Morning Herald communicates the fol- lowing from the frontiers of Guipuzcoa. The folloVing copy of a letter received this morning from Arragon, will be read with great interest:— " Saragossa, April6,1S36.— A dispatch received by the Governor of the fortress states that the Carlist Chief Cabrera, with 5,000 men, " was at that moment besieging Teruel. Two thousand Carlists, com- manded by Forcadil, are besieging Murvjedo. The Carlist Chiefs, Quelez and Anon, the latter a Colonel of cavalry, are besieging Cuenca. The whole of the garrison of Saragossa are under arms day and night, a column of Carlists occupying the environs." Despatches, by a special messenger, have been received at the Colonial Office, from Earl Gosford, the contents of which are sup- posed to be of an important nature. The following was yesterday posted at the North and South American Coffee- house :— " STORM IN UPPER CANADA.— It seems that Sir Francis B. Head has been able to sail in smooth water but a very brief period. In a Toronto paper received this morning we find the folio win g :— ' HIGHLY IMPORTANT.— A dissolution of the Executive Council, by the resignation of all its members, which was accepted lale on Saturday afternoon, has taken place. Messrs. Robinson, Markland, Wells, Dunn, Baldwin, and Ralph are no longer Executive Councillors. Sir Francis and his Algerine government have expired.' " Accompanying this announcement, is a long and furious com- mentary, filled with abuse of the new government, but affording no direct information as to the cause of the resignations." A very numerous meeting of Conservative Peers was held at Apsley- house yesterday morning. Their Lordships began to assemble as early as 11 o'clock. A Cabinet Council was heldat the Foreign- office, yesterday, which was attended by all the Ministers. On Friday were to be married at the British Embassy, in Paris, the Baron de Braidenback, of Darmstadt, to Charlotte, daughter of Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., of Worthy, Hants. The bride is niece to the Hon. Mrs. Talbot, of Malahidej and to Lady Dacre. It is said that Lord Stafford will lead to the hymeneal altar early in the next month, Miss Caton, sister to the Marchioness Wellesley and Carmarthen. Colonel Vesey, who held high command in 1798, under Lord Mountjoy, and " also commanded a regiment at the battle of Ross, in the sanguinary campaigns of that year, Colonel for many years of the county Dublin Militia, expired on Tuesday night at Lucan House, near Dublin, in the 88th year of his age. In the Court of King's Bench, yesterday, Sir Wm. Follett applied for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Air. Hume, on the part of Sir J. Gibbon. The ground of complaint was the subject of some letters written by Mr. Hume, generally charging the Magistrates of the county of Middlesex with corrupt practices, of whom Sir J. Gibbon was one, and using their Solitical influence for the furtherance of Tory purposes ; and that Sir . Gibbon, as a Magistrate, threatened to withhold licenses from several voters who voted for Mr. Hume at the last election.— Rule granted. On a similar application a rule was granted against a Mr. Carpenter, who was Mr. Hume's informant of part of the objection- able matter complained of. By the arrival of the packet- ship St. Andrew at Liverpool advices have been received from New York to the 2d instant. That city has been visited with another fire, sufficiently lamentable in its results. The fire commenced in a wooden stable in the centre of the square, near Eleventh- street. Several persons lost their lives, and 34 houses were consumed by the devouring element. The cries of the suffer- ers, to whom no assistance could be given, are described as having been truly heart- rending. The Corporation of Dublin have advertised for proposals to re- erect the statue of King William III. in College- green. It is in- tended that this ceremony shall take place on the 1st of July next, the anniversary of the battle of the Boyne. The Lord Mayor, the High Sheriff, and all the municipal authorities, will attend in State with the city regalia. Mr. Bunn's benefit takes place to- morrow, for which he has se- cured a greater combination of talent than any announcement of the season. In addition to the regular company of Drnry- lane, Grisi, Lablache, 1 Caradori, Braham, Balfe, Mrs. Orger, and Liston, will contribute their services. The pupils of the Academy of Music gave their second public morning concert at the Hanover- square Rooms, on Friday. The performance throughout was highly creditable to the institution. GRESHAM COLLEGE.— Friday morning, being the first day of Term, Dr. Southey delivered the first of his Course of Lectures on Physic, in the lecture- room over the west gate of the Royal Exchange, on which occasion he selected for his subject the diseases of the diges- tive organs. The lecture was confined to an anatomical and phy- siological description of these organs, and displayed considerable ta- lents and research. The Professorship of Civil Law, which was for many years held by the late Rev. Jocelyn Palmer, A. M., has re- cently been filled up by the appointment of his son, William Palmer, Esq. The interior of Westminster Hall is now completely restored. All the windows on either side have been opened, with new frames of exquisitely carved stonework— the floor has been lowered to its ori ginal site— the lantern thrown open— the fine oak- roof cleaned and repaired, and the walls lined with stone of a pure white. The statues of the ancient Kings again rear their heads in the niches at the extremity of the hall, and everything within has quite resumed its pristine splendour. Workmen are now busy on the outer side of edifice towards the river, HANOVER. INTIMATEL\ connected as are the interests and Governments of England and Hanover, there does not exist in the English language any history of the latter Kingdom. It has been suggested, that such a Work would be extremely desirable, and that the British People would be glad of extensive and accurate information re- specting a country with which they have been so long and so closely associated ; and whence the Throne of this Empire has derived its present illustrious Dynasty. It is, therefore, proposed to publish a HISTORY of HANOVER. A faithful transcript of its Annals from the earliest period to the present time : as well as a copious account of its actual state— Religious, Moral, Social, Political, Military, and Civil. Its existing Government, Constitution, Laws, Orders of Nobility and Knighthood. Together with a description of its Manners, Customs, Climate, Natural Productions, Manufactures, Boundaries, Extent, Population, Public In- stitutions, Universities, and evety other matter connected with the Statistics of that Kingdom. This History— dedicated bv special permission to His Most Gracious Majesty WILLIAM TfiE FOURTH,' King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and King of Hanover,— will be comprised in Two Volumes, large Octavo, written by THEODORE EDWARD HOOK, Esq., and illustrated by various engravings, from drawings by the most eminent masters. The expense which must inevitably be incurred in the preparation of such a Work renders it necessary, in order to indemnify the Author from loss, to publish it by Subscription. The price to Subscribers will be Three Guineas— Copies on Large Paper, with proof prints, Five Guineas— to be paid at the time of sub- scribing. The Work to be delivered within a year from the present time. Subscriptions will be received at the Banking House of Messrs. Hemes, Fur- qnhar, and Co., t6, St. James's- street; and by Messrs. Colnaghi, Pall- mall, East. E Albemarle- street, April 11. NEW BOOKS published this day by Mr. MURRAY. PROFESSOR VON RAUMER. GLAND in 1835. In a SERIES of LETTERS.
