TO PARENTS and GUARDIANS.— An English Lady who re- sides in Paris, has just formed an engagement with a French Lady going to India to educate her five daughters ; she wishes to add FIVE ENGLISH YOUNG LADIES to her family circle. Their instruction will combine the refinement of a Parisian with the solidity of an English education.— Further particulars maybe obtained by an interview with the Lady.— Address, post- paid, to A. Z., atthe" Li- brary, 2, Michael's- place, Brompton. ALADYr, residing in a salubrious situation in the vicinity of Iiampstead, would b « happy to receive a limited number of YOUNG LADIES in her Family, for the purpose of Educating them with her daughter. The first Masters in London will be engaged. References of the highest respec- tability can be given.— For cards of address, apply to T. Hodgson's Library, 9, Great Marylebone- street. AT a highly- respectable SCHOOL, in a beautiful part of the Country, seven miles from London, YOUNG GENTLEMEN are received as Pupils, and may be prepared for the Universities, for the Public Schools, or for Mercantile pursuits, upon terms which, for the genteel accommodation, the do- mestic treatment, and care— the faithful and pains- taking instruction— and for the unremitting and watchful attention paid to the health, improvement, exer- cise, and comfort of the Children, will be considered reasonable and moderate. The instruction includes the English, French, Latin, and Greek languages; Writing and Arithmetic, taught both as a science and an art; the Elements of Euclid and the Mathematics; History, Geography, and the use of the Globes; with the other usual branches of an English education. A circular may be had upon inquiring, if by letter, post paid, for the terms of A. B., at Mr. Richardson's, Cutler, No. 43, New Bond- street; or at Mr. Cowie's, Bookseller, No. 31, Poultry. Respect almost religious is paid to the practice of reading aloud, besides a por- tion of the Scriptures which should begin and end our daily exercises, some " Studies in History," or " Selections" from pure classical English authors ; for this, it is believed," will both induce the habit of reading with propriety, and raise the style of speaking and writing in the Pupil; and ( in connection with the study of language, by regularly writing a translation exercise of the lesson which he has previously construed), will powerfully assist to enable him to express his thoughts as a gentleman and a scholar. Furthermore, Writing and Arithmetic are such essential parts of education in a country which is purely commercial, and in a school like the advertiser's, in which the ages of the Pupils run from 7 or 8, to 14 or 15, that the neglect or disuse of them, as a part of every day's study, it is con- sidered, would be impolitic or unjust^ and- they are attended to accordingly. PARTNERSHIP.— Any Gentleman of CONSERVATIVE prin- ciples, and a good connexion with the above interest, who can command about ^ 2,000, may realise a handsome income.— P'or particulars, apply to James Lewis, Esq., 24, Essex- street, Strand— if by letter, post- paid.

TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF MARY- LA- BONNE. Gentlemen, YOU will be soon summoned, in consequence of the death of our I late lamented Sovereign, to the exercise of your electoral functions. [ Permit me, in compliance with the requisition addressed to me at the commence- I ment of the last year by a portion of your constituency, no less numerous than in- I fluential, inviting me to offer myself on the earliest occasion a candidate for the I distinguished honour of representing you in Parliament, most earnestly to solicit I your suffrages. | Subsequent and various opportunities of ascertaining your sentiments have fully J confirmed the belief which I have expressed when acceding to the request then I made to ine', that, notwithstanding the distracted state of political feeling in your I borough, my opinions on questions affecting the fundamental principles of our ] Constitution were in accordance with those entertained by the majority of you. I This persuasion has been confirmed by the conviction that the political contest I which has for some time agitated this kingdom has gradually assumed its real! character— a warfare of antagonist principles— and that the vast body of the | electors, hitherto hesitating as to the course which they should pursue, or differing I on several questions of domestic and foreign policy, have at length resolved, as I their fathers have done on similar emergencies, to sacrifice minor considerations I to the paramount necessity of rallying in defence of civil and religious liberty, of I property, of the throne, and of the altar. In avowing my rt- adiness, at the present crisis, to represent the loyal and con- I stitutional feelings of a borough surpassed by none in extent, wealth, " and import- I ance, I am deeply sensible of the arduous nature of the responsibility involved in I the trust to which I aspire. | To maintain inviolate our Constitution in Church and State, under which, by I God's blessing, this country has attained its present eminence, whilst carefully I reforming the abuses infecting it; to protect the rights and privileges of all I classes of the community; to uphold the dignity of the empire in its foreign I relations, and meanwhile to watch over and advocate the particular interests of the I various classes composing the large population of your borough, are duties of no I ordinary magnitude. Though in proof of my possessing the necessary7 qualifications for the due dis- charge of thein I cannot refer to Parliamentary services, I feel persuaded that a I residence among you from early youth, and earnest hereditary regard for the I welfare of your borough and of my country, and habits and pursuits blended and J associated with yours, will be deemed by you a pledge of my zealous and perse- I vering endeavours to justify, in the event of my being elected one of your repre- J sentatives, the confidence reposed in me. I therefore look forward with steadfast expectation to your support on the day I of election. Gentlemen, I have the honour to subscribe myself your faithful servant, TEIGNMOUTH. • 19, Portland- place, June 26, 1837. .

I ^ EL WAY'S PREPARED ESSENCE of SENNA.— The obvious and acknowledged utility of the Infusion Senna as a domestic Purgative, renders any further recommendation unnecessary: at the same time it must be confessed, that considerable inconvenience attends the form in which it is usually Ere pared, and if not immediately used, is liable to undergo a chemical change, y which it not only loses its purgative quality, but acquires that of an opposite I tendency, and is in consequence found to excite violent griping of the bowels.— In this preparation, the henna is so combined, that the usual inconvenience is at once obviated, for it will be found to undergo no change whatever by keeping, and require no other preparation for immediate use than simple dilution with cold or warm water, or if preferred tea or cotfee may be substituted. The increased use I of Senna, since the first introduction of the above, induces the present Proprietor I to make it more generally known.— Prepared only by Simkin, late Selway, Chemist to his Majesty, 2, New Cavendish- street, Portland- place.

J. ing Tom, the counsellor," attended at this office to support an infor- * mation which he had laid against the well- known barrister Mr,, ft Adolphus, for the recovery of Is. alleged to be due to him the said " complainant, who drives the hackney- coach No. 1,070, and derive* El his latter cognomen from the circumstance of his br ther knights of B the whip looking up to him as a man in the possession of no trifling r? portion of forensic lore.— The above- named Jarvey, who is a good-' | tempered looking fellow, was dressed in a well cut Newmarket coat Iof a bottle- green colour; a lilac striped waistcoat, with buttons oil real silver; light drab smallclothes, and ankle jacks. He wore; round his neck a canary coloured cravat, tied alter the most approved fashion, and was accompanied to the justice- room by no fewer than a dozen coachmen and cabmen, all of whom, judging by their looks, had the fullest confidence in Tom, whose success was booked as a certainly.— Mrs. and Miss Emily Adolphus appeared in answer to the summons.— Mr. Hoskins ( to Counsellor Tom): Now, state your complaint.— Counsellor Tom ( winking in a very cunning manner at a little bandylegged coachman on his left): Please your honourable vorship, vot I have got to say is this here :— In the middle of the night last Tuesday morning ( laughter) I vos fetched from the rank in Pad- dington- street by a sarvant wot told me to go and take up at No. 60, York- terrace ; in course, my Lord, I according- ly goes and purlitely opens my coach door, vhen in gets Missus Adolphus and three young ladies; now that ere vos all werry right and proper, but just as I vos NEW NOVELS.— We are requested to state that Mr. Colburn, of Great Marlborough- street, has just published the following new works of fiction by distinguished writers:— 1.

An agricultural correspondent of the Gloucester- shire Chronicle, says:—" There never was in so short a space of time, a greater improvement in the crops, both of corn and grass, than has taken place since the late rains. The wheat is looking very healthy and strong, and is now breaking fast into ear, which gene- rally takes place about the 10th or 12th of June, therefore we consi- der it about a fortnight later than usual, but line favourable weather may bring it to maturity by the middle of August. The barley in general is looking remarkably well, and bids fair for more than an average crop. The beans are looking remarkably strong and well, and are getting generally into blossom, with every prospect of a good crop ; but these, like the wheat, are lull a fortnight later than usual. The crops of grass on low meadow land, and where the heavy rains have fallen, are abundant; but in districts where there has not been so much rain, are rather light— but well set for a crop, should we have another seasonable rain. Never, within the memory of the oldest person, was there a greater prospect than at present for a crop of fiuit, both apples and pears, and nothing can exceed the luxuriant appearance of the trees, and the rapid growth of the fruit, which is considered quite safe." Haymaking has partially commenced in this neighbourhood, and during the Inst weeK a considerable quantity of hay has been stacked in excellent order. The clovers are in general very good, and the meadow grass is much better than could have been expected a month ago. The wheat is getting fast into ear, and improves every day. The barley and oats look well in most situations, and the peas are looking strong and promise well. Beans are short everywhere. There is scarcely a piece of Swedes that has escaped the fly, and many have sown a second time. The fat markets are rather dull' The beasts and sheep in the marshes are doing well, but the flocks are in general poor, and the loss of lambs has Deen great with many flock- masters.— Brighton Gazette. A field of wheat and a field of barley may be seen on the farm of Mr. Struthers, of Gallowhill, P. iisley, nearly all in ear. Both fields have a very beautiful appearance.— Glasgow Courier. EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCE.— A certain carrier in this place says, he has field of grass which has grown. four inches a day for the last three weeks, and will be fit to cut within a week or ten days. This must be a curiosity, as it cannot, be less than seven feet high now, and will be two feet higher " at least before it is cut, if it goes on growing in the same proportion.— Bedford Mercury. RAPID VEGETATION.— In a turnip field occupied by Mr. Pyatt, of Wilford, the seed was sown at one o'clock on Monday, and the turnips were up on the following Thursday at one o'clock.— Nottingham Journal. POTATOES.— A very successful cultivator in Scotland, states that it is of great importance never to take sets from potatoes of which any part is decayed. Though the eye may be taken from the other side, which looks good, the whole potatoe is affected by that which is decayed. No potatoes should be used for sets which are not such as you would put upon the table. Cultivating potatoes by seed, from plants raised as above, is also recommended.— Magazine of Domestic Economy. The accounts for Liverpool state that trade still continues in the most deplorable state in the manufacturing districts, and the greatest distress prevails among the working classes; the hand- loom weavers at Colne are in a state of actual starvation, and in their desperation have evinced a disposition to rioting, so much so that the military from Burnley have been called in, and a detachment are now re- maining at Colne. The Clergymen from Colne and neighbourhood have arrived at Manchester, to solicit subscriptions in aid of the starving population. It appears that upwards of one- half of the weavers are quite destitute of work, while the greater part of the re- mainder are but partially employed. The average amount of in- come, both from labour and parochial relief, appears to be less- than one shilling per head per week, and, out of a population of 13,000, between 7,000 and 8,000 individuals have been assisted by public cha- rity. The appeal made by these Reverend gentlemen on behalf of their suffering parishioners has been responded to, and a subscrip- tion has been entered into. This state or appalling distress, we re- gret to say, is not confined to the neighbourhood of Colne alone, but, unfortunately, is too generally spread throughout Lancashire. so I gets down and tells the ladies that as it would be a wiolation of I the hact, I shouldn't take the sarvant without extra pay, veil vot does J von of ' em do but tells me they should get into another coach, vitchl deal with. Now, your \ orship,_ I did know veil all about, it, but! vy should a man vot's all fair land square be afeard of Mr. f Adolphus or any von else?— Mr. Hoskins : Have you anything more to say ?— Counsellor Tom : I don't think I need say anything else. I humbly submit its a werry clear case, and accordin to the Parli- ment hact, I've aright to be paid.— Mr. Hoskins ( to Mrs. Adolphus): What is your answerto this Ma'am ?— Mrs. Adolphus: Why, really, Sir, I don't know; I'd rather my daughter would give evidence.— Miss Emily Adolphus was here sworn, and stated that the party did not alight until the complainant refused to take them.— Mr Hoskins called Crofts, the footman. What did the coachman say to you ? Footman: He told me that I couldn't ride, as he was licensed to carry only four, which number he had got inside.— M » Hoskins: Did he demand a shilling for being called from the stand ?— Foot- man : He did, Sir.— Mr. Hoskins ( to Counsellor Tom): Was your plate on the coach at the time ?— Counsellor Tom: To besure it vas, my Lord ; trust me for that. But I tell you vot, yocr Worship, I've werry often had a good deal of trouble and bother with the party, for I've sometimes took up at York- terrace as many as six of the family, and arter dropping three on ' em in Montague- street, and the tothersin Gower- street, I haven't been able to get a mag extra for my trouble; and ven I've axed Mister Adolphus tor summat. more than the rale fare, he has only laughed at me, and told me as how I ought to have made thehobjection at starting. Vy, it aint long ago since I brought a whole sock of taters, besides two or three ladies, in the wehicle, and then I got nuffen haddishonal.— Mr. Hoskins was here called on forheiiring a second summons, which had been obtained at the in- stance of Mr. Adolphus against " Counsellor Tom," for refusing to carry his family to his house in Gower- street. Miss Emily Adol- phus stated, that on the night in question the defendant objected to take the party, and that owing to his refusal they got into another coach. The footman, on being examined, said that defendant ob- jected to carry him and the ladies too, unless he had extra pay for so doing; he did not refuse to convey the ladies only. Counsellor Tom was declared by the Magistrate to have established his cla m to the demand of one shilling, which it was ordered should be paid, together with all the costs, and the second summons was dis- missed. Tom and his brother jarveys left the office. HATTON- GARDEN.— William Overs, an athletic ruffianly looking fellow, was finally examined on Thursday, charged by Mrs. Ann Tucker, of Thompson's place, Bloomsbury, with the following atro- cious and brutal assault.— The complainant, a poor widow, who was brought from the hospital attended by a nurse, in a weakly con- dition, exhibited a black eye, and was in an extremely delicate con- dition. She was allowed a chair, and being sworn, she stated that on last Tuesday week, between three and four o'clock in the after- noon, she was standing at the corner of Oxford- street, when the pri- soner, whom she never saw before, acposted her and asked her for a penny. She informed him that she could not afford to give him one, on which he knocked her down by a violent blow and kicked her, when he forced 2d. out of her hand. She screamed " Murder," but he continued to ill- use her until she was insensible, and she knew no more of what took place until she found herself in the hos- pital.— Mr. Laing: Do you mean to say you knew nothing of the prisoner; that you never saw him before?— Witness : I do; I never saw him before in all my life.— Mr. Laing inquired of the officers whether he was known ?— Clements said he was a notorious and des- perate vagrant, and he had been before in custody on charges of a similar description.— The prisoner, in a gruff voice, denied the charge.— Mr. Laing consulted with Mr. Rogers, and they concurred that they never heard of a more brutal transaction, and convicted the prisoner in the penalty of 51., or two months' imprisonment. BEGGING IMPOSTORS.—" Two notorious begging- letter impostors passing as man and wife under the name of Wright, were committed from Marlborough- street office on Monday for three months hard labour, having for some time carried on a system of imposition upon several of the Nobility and Gentry at the West End, particularly Officers of high rank in the Navy, the man representing himself as a distressed Naval Officer, by which frands it was proved he had ob- tained in eleven months donations amounting to300l. ^ Whenever he applied to Admirals and other naval officers he mentioned such par- ticulars of the several vessels in which he said he had sailed, and named the officers commanding, that there seemed no doubt of the truth of his statement. This infoi mation it appears he was enabled to procure by going to Greenwich, enter into conversation with some of the old tars, and by means of a glass of grog drawing from the unsuspecting seamen the history of their adventures, with the names of the ships and the officers who commanded them at the time they were- in service; the particulars thus acquired, he speedily embodied in a petition to those Naval Commanders who possessed a knowledge of the presumed writer. Under different names he obtained from Admiral Sir P. Durham 501.; from the Marquess of Bute 301., and the same Nobleman was about to give him 201. more, when the fraud was discovered.— The woman used to present the petitions. It was proved that the prisoners had been convicted before for simi- lar offences, and that the very same day on which the man was re- leased from prison he had commenced his shameful impositions. At the Mansion- house on Tuesday, a woman was charged with attempting to smuggle 1,228 ells ot French blond lace, which was found stuffed into her " bustle" as she was leaving a Calais steamer. A lace manufacturer stated that he could not distinguish the diffe- rence between French blond and the imitation of it made in Buck- inghamshire ; and, though another dealer in lace and a custom- house officer said they had no doubt the lace found on the woman was of French manufacture, Mr. Alderman Winchester refused to convict her. The Lord Mayor said he felt convinced the lace was smuggled, but as it is necessary that two magistrates should agree J beforj^ conviction, the defendant was dischared. CRIM. CON.— In the Court of Queen's Bench on Monday, Mr. I Perry, Master of the Horse to the Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland,] brought an action against Captain Murray of the> 15th Hussars, and I Aide- de- Camp to his Excellency, for criminal conversation with the] plaintiff's wife. The facts of their elopement, and passing as man J and wife, were clearly proved by a host of witnesses, but it was I stated in defence that Mr. Perry and his lady, though residing under I the same roof, had not slept together for nearly a year, and that the I defendant was a young man, " more sinned against than sinning. 1 Under these circumstances, the Learned Counsel ( Mr. Thesiger), whilst he admitted, that the plaintiff had proved his case, appealed to I the Jury against the infliction ofheavy damages. The Lord Chief Jus- I tice, in summing up, said there was no doubt of the criminality of I the defendant, and the Jury had only to say what damages should I be given to the plaintiff for the loss of his wife's society, bearing in f mind that he had as it were divorced himself from his wife for sol long a period previously to the intercourse between the guilty! parties.— The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff— damages I FOREIGN. The Paris papers of Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are ex- I ceedingly barren of intelligence, foreign and domestic. I The King's Court went into mourning on Sunday for twenty- one I days for his late Majesty William the Fourth. The Queen of the I Belgians had anticipated His Majesty in this respect, having ap- I peared on Friday in the Chamber of Deputies in deep mourning. I The Aloniteur of Tuesday states in its official part that the King I had received from the Elector of Hesse and the Electoral Co- Regent j a notification of the demise of their Highnesses the Landgrave Fre- I derick of Hesse, and of Prince Ferdinand of Hesse Philips thai. I The utmost tranquillity prevails in the French capital and in the I departments. The complaints of commercial and manufacturing I distress had become less frequent and less loud from all parts of the I country; each day were received letters displaying increasing satis | faction at the prospects of an abundant harvest and a rich vintage. SPAIN.— On Sunday afternoon, the 18th ult., the Queen Regent I and her daughter went in state to the Cortes to swear observance of I the new Constitution. The Queen delivered on the occasion a dis- I course, in which she complimented the Representatives of the na- • lion on the zeal and wisdom they had displayed in the revision of I the Political Code of Spain, and in modelling it on that of every I other representative monarchy of Europe. Her Majesty then de- Iclared, in the face of Heaven and earth, her spontaneous adhesion I to, and her free and entire acceptation of, the Political Institutions I of the country, in the name and presence of her August Daughter, I whose sentiments she trusted would never differ from hers. The I ceremony passed off without any accident. In the evening the ! Queen Regent in order to perpetuate the memory of the pro- I mulgation of the Constitution, decreed a general amnesty to all I persons imprisoned throughout the kingdom and adjacent isles, I with the exception of ringleaders or accomplices of high trea- I son, sedition, parricide, homicide, arson, sacrilege, blasphemy, pi- I racy, and rape.— The Madrid Gazette of the 20th ult. publishes a I Royal Ordinance, dated the 19th, restoring to the enjoyment of their I offices and honours all those who had re'u- ed to take the oath to the I Constitution of 1812, on condition that they swear to the present I Constitution. 1 The news from tbe Spanish frontier is not unimportant. The I Palis papers of Wednesday publish the following: — " Narbonne, June 27. . " Perpiman, June 26.— On the 21st inst. the Pretender pro- I ceeded to Suria, between- Cordona and Manresa. 1 " On the 20th Baron de_ Meer quitted Cervera with his army in I four columns, taking the direction of Ingualada and Calat.

The whole of the tower is destroyed, and the entire contents : likewise 14 or 15 trees burnt to the giound and twice as many damaged. CORONER'S INQUEST.— Wednesday an inqueft was held, at the Board- room of St. George's Hospital, to inquire into the circum- stances which led to the death of George ( lopwood, aged 27. IT appeared that the deceased was coachman in the sendee of the Earl ot Shrewsbury, and that on last Tuesday week he was ordered to be in'attendance on her Ladyship, but that on proceeding to bridle one of the horses, he would not take the bit, when tjie deceased began flogging him severely, and the horse kicked at him and struck him on the forehead ; he immediately fell, and a quantity of blood issued from the wound. Mr. Berkley, House Surgeon of the Hospital, de posed that the deceased was admitted on the night of the 23d inst. having received a severe scalp wound over the left eye; a portion of the skull was also considerably depressed, but all the urgent symp- toms were wanting. On Thursday morning, however, symptoms of compression of the brain came on to such an extent that it was thought necessary to raise the pieces of hone, and that operation was verformed in the usual manner, but on Saturday morning he died. Verdict— Accidental death, and Is. deodand on the horse. A dreadful accident happened on Wednesday to a labouring man, who was in the act of crossing Holborn, near Drury- lane, when he was knocked down by an omnibus, which was being driven at a fu- rious rate, and crushed in so dreadful a manner that when he was picked up he appeared almost lifeless. A stretcher was immediately procured, and the unfortunate man removed to Middlesex Hospital, with little hopes of his recovery. Thursday morning, at an early hour, the body of p. female, about 35 years of age, whose tattered and filthy apparel bespoke the utter destitution she had been brought to, was discovered in a corner of a cellar in that part of St. Giles's called the Rookery. The body was removed by the Police to the workhouse, and, as some suspicion is entertained that death resulted from unfair means, a communication on the subject was immediately sent to the Coroner. On Tuesday evening, a dreadful accident happened to ayoungman, named Charles Dennis, stud groom to Capt.. Stevens, of Baker- street, Portman- square. He wa< coming out of Hvde- park. through Cum- berland- gate, on a very high- spirited horse, when the animal took o 7 n ) _ fright, and galloped furiously across the road on to the foot pavement. severe wound there, and carrying away five of the teeth'of the Tower I Several of the passengers narrowly escaped being knocked down. THE QUEEN DOWAGER.— The inhabitants of the parish of St. James, Clerkenwell, met together on Wednesday evening in vestry, for the purpose of voting an address of condolence to Her Majesty the Queen Dowager on her late bereavement, and also of voting a congratulatory address to her present Majesty Queen Victoria. The Radicals assembled in great numbers, and after performing a variety of antics, and uttering a vast deal of noisy balderdash, the respect- able portion of the assembly carried both addresses by a very large majority. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT VAUXHALL GARDENS.— Yesterday morn- ing, about ten minutes past twelve a. m., a fire broke out in the in- terior of the Royal Gardens, Vauxhall, which we regret to state ter- minated in the total destruction of the fire- work tower. When the proprietors left the spot everything was apparently safe. About the time above- mentioned, after all tbe company had retired to the other extremity of the gardens, flames were perceived raging on the stage, and scarcely had ten minutes elapsed before the beautiful piece of scenery, which has created so much approbation of the public during the season, the " Arc de l'Etoile" was in one body of fire. Messen- gers were forwarded to the various fire establishment stations, but the flames were perceived, and the brigade horsed their engines and arrived in a very short time, but, unfortunately, no water was ob- tained for nearly half an hour after fhe alarm being given. At the top of the fire work gallery was an immense tank, which we under- stand contains upwards of8,000 gallons of water, which fell in with a tre- mendous crash, but, extraordinary enough, produced not the slightest effect on the flames. Shortly after the intimation of the fire a large and powerful force of the L division of police arrived, but although they endeavoured to their utmost to keep the assembled mob off, they broke down the fences and trampled on the fancy grounds. Such was the rapidity of the flames, that the fine trees situated round the building took fire, and the destruction of the whole gardens were threatened.

He was seized, I struck, dragged and abused by one of the priests, assisted by the I other and a mob of about one hundred persons; and afterthis brutal J treatment he was, on the representation of the same priests, sent to j the bridewell by order of the resident magistrate, Mr. John D'Arcy, I and detained until next day, when he was brought before the! magistrates at the petty sessions, and put upon his trial, for" standing I in a position" of which the priests did not approve, and using words I which the priests construed into a " defamation of character!"

SOMETHING NOT UNLIKE THE EDGEWARE- ROAD MURDER.— On last I Tuesday, as a man named Dwyer, was clearing away a turf bank, on I a bog within a mile of Newport, in this county, he found within a I foot or two of the surface, the mutilated remains of a human being. From the shockingmannerin whichtheyhad beendisfigureditwasim- possible to say whether they belonged to a male or female. In one part I was the headless trunk, with all the flesh cut andhackedaway by some I sharp instrument from the region of the breast; the ribs were broken, I and there was much osbervable contusion about the loins. The limbs I which were found in the same locality were apparently chopped off I fiom the trunk, and woefully shattered. Though vigilant search was I magistrates held an inquest on view of the remains, and a verdict oil " wilful murder" was returned against some person or persons un- 1 known. There is no clue to the perpetration of this diabolical I atrocity— nor has any person suddenly disappeared from the neigh- I bonrhood within the last 20 years, or within the memory of any one | of the many persons that thro ged to catch a glimpse of the revolting I spectacle which the trunk exhibited. As bodies inhumed in peat I soil do not decompose as readily as if buried in loamy land, no I positive opinion can be formed as to the length of time the trunk and I limbs may have lain in the turf bank.

Colonel H arman did not dis- I charge his pistol, having come to the g onnd with the determination jof receiving Col. M'Cabe's fire without returning it. The cause of I quarrel is understood to be of an entirely personal nature, and I Colonel M'Cabe being advised by his brother officers to take nohostile I measures till after the 10th of June, forbore to do so accordingly; but lever since that day arrived he impatiently waited the return of Col.

Dennis used his utinostefforts to check the animal, but ineffectually, and it ultimately drove against one of the gas lamp*. The collision threw Dennis headforemost upon the pavement. He was taken up insensible and bleeding, and conveyed to St. George's Hospiialin a coach. The poor fellow still lies in an insensible state, and not the slightest, hope is entertained of his recovery. Thursday morning, at an early hour, a poor woman named Davis died in Bartholomew's Hospital, from the effects of the injuries she received from fire the morning previous. It appears that she was sit- ting at the table reading, in her lodgings in King's Head- court. Shoe lane, Fleet- street, when her cap came in contact with the candle, and in a few seconds she was enveloped in flames. Her screams for as- sistance soon brought her fellow- lodgers to the spot, who, with great difficulty, extinguished the fire, and afterwards conveyed her to the hospital, where, after the most intense sufferings, she expired. MAD DOGS.— Thursday morning a number of placards were posted in the parishes of St. Marylebone, St. Pancras, and Paddington, by the directions of the Magistrates of Marylebone Police- office, re- questing the owners of dogs to keep them properly secured by having them muzzled, orsecurely tied up.

" By all means, Sir," replied the worthy tradesman, with I as much grace as he could assume. " Between smokers this is not I a matter of favour, but of mutual obligation." The unknown lighted I his cigar, and wilh a bow, but, at the same time, with a precipitation I which the provincial could not help remarking, took his leave.

On raising him up he was fouqd to be black in the face, and on carrying him into the shop of Mr. Summers, chymist, in Broad- street, the vital spark was found to be quite extinct. The body was removed to St. Giles's workhouse. A FRACAS.— A scene of an extraordinary description took place on Tuesday last, in Wilton- sfreet, Belgrave- square, about noon. A lady, in a loose French roquelaure, jumped out of an open carriage and rang with great violence the bell of one of the houses in the street. A servant answered the appeal from the window ; the lady demanded admittance, but was refused. She then applied to the knocker, and repeated the attack so often that it alarmed the whole neighbourhood. The door was then opened as far as the chain would admit, but ingress was still unattainable. The alarm brought the police, who entreated the lady to retire; she refused unless her four children, who she said were " there, were delivered up, and she again commenced her attacks on the knocker. A messenger was then sent hy the inhabitants to the station- house, and that brought the super- intendent, who plainly told the lady that she would be removed by force, if necessary, for the preservation of the public peace, for a great mob had collected together, who were taking part with the lady. The remonstrartce had the effect intended; she entered her carriage and departed. DEPARTURE OF SARAH GALE.— On Monday morning, about twenty | female convicts were removed from Newgale to the hulk off Wool- 1 wich, Ihere to remain until they proceed to New South Wales for the | periods for which they are so banished— some of them for ever, and | among them was Sarah Gale, the paramour of James Greenacre ot I notorious memory. Since the conviction of this woman the evidence | and all the circumstances connecied with the sanguinary deed in which she was implicated have been thoroughly investigated, in or- der to ascertain whether anything could be elicited so as to wariant I a commutation of the sentence passed upon her, which by many was I thought not warranted by the evidence. The result, of the inquiry I has been that the Privy Council saw no reason why the sentence I should not be carried into full effect, an! she became reconcile! tol her fate, as her child will be allowed to accompany her. She stiil de- [ clares, however, that she had no knowledge of Greenacre's dreadful [ act until he made a voluntary disclosure at the police- office. By a [ recent Order of Council the c mdition of fema! e convicts will be I much mitigated if their behaviour on the voyage entitle them to con- I sideration. [ OPENING OF THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.— The | first journey on the London and Birmingham railroad was made on I Thursday " afternoon, when the directors, accompanied by the I engineer, the architect, and three of the non- resident directors from I Liverpool, started from thj station at Euston- square with a locomo- l tive engine and a train of carriages, and proceeded to Boxmor, near | Heme! Hempstead, being a distance of twenty- five miles from town. I The train started from the station between one and two o'clock, [ and as it was intended to be a trial of tbe carriages, and in some | sort a tour of inspection on the part of the directors, the engine wasj not forced to great speed on the road from Lonuon. The tunnel [ under Primrose- hill, which is three quarters of a mile long, was I passed through in a minute and fifty seconds on departing frnm town, I but on returning it was passed ill a minute and a half. The train I stopped at Watford in g mg and returning, and remained for half an [ hour at Boxmoor. In coming back they travelled at the rate oil thirty miles an hour along a considerable portion of the line; so that I iittle more than half an hour will be, we imagine, the time reuuired f to go to Watford. This railroad is no doubt a stupendous under- taking. Thursday evening an inquest was held at the London Hospital, | Mile End- road, on the bo ly of Emily Rapson, aged six years, the I daughter of Henry Rapson, one of the messengers in tile Bank ofl England. It appeared that the child had been slightly bitten by a f puppv about three months since. The wound which was a mere] scratch, healed, and the child continued in perfect health until Mon- 1 day morning last, when decided symptjms of hydrophobia exhibited! themselves, and she died of that dreadful malady in the above institu- 1 tion on Wednesday. The Jury found a verdict to that effect. Thursday morning a labouring man named Pritchard was pro- ceeding along Goswell- street- road, when, on stepping on a celler flap I which was insecurely fastened, it gave way, and he was precipitated [ to the bottom. Oil getting him out he was found to be insensible and I had hij face frightfully lacerated. He remains in a dangerous state. I Thursday morning a labouring man named Thomas Cole, while! 8 at work as a mower on the estate of Mr. Wood, of Tottenham, inad vertently trod on the handle of his scythe, as it was lying in the grass, when the blade was jerked up with great, force, and striking him with the edge on the thick part of the left thigh, completely divided the flesh to the bone, to the extent of several inches. He was removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, but remains in a precarious state. Oil Mondav night, about half- past eight o'clock, a wherry, con- taining Mr. Culler, an old experienced waterman, and one of the bea- tles of the Waterman's Company, was run down by the Mercury, a Gravesend steamer, on' its way to London, and, owing to Mr. Cutler having been drawn under the larboard paddle of the steam vessel, he received very severe and extensive injuries. DESPERATE EFFECTS OF PASSION.— Friday morning between eight and nine o'clock, a youug man, named Morley. residing in Francis- street, Commercial road, Lambeth, while in a state of ungovern- tlie street. He fell on the foot pavement, and wheti lifted up was in sensible and bleeding profusely from the mouth. He was removed to Guy's Hospital, where he was found to be suffering under a violent concussion of the brain, and also severe internal bodily injury. No hope is entertained of his surviving. MELANCHOLY C ATASTROPHE AT BLAINA IRON WORKS, MONMOUTH- SHIRE.— Yesterday week, an explosion of gas, commonly called fire- damp, took place in the underground workings of these mines. Thirty- seven individuals were ultimately extracted from the pit, of whom eleven were brought to the surface dead, and two have since died. Au inquest has been held on the bodies, and a verdict of " Accidental death" reurned, with the following declaration from the jury—" That it is our unanimous opinion that no blame what- ever is attributable to the masters or their agent, nor is there any fault to be found with the construction of the works or with the mode of working them.'' ALARMING FIRE AT LIVERPOOL.— Wednesday night, a few minutes after seven o'clock, a fire broke out in the first cotton warehouse in Waterloo- road, opposite the Prince's dock. The fire soon reached the second story from the top, having commenced in the upper range of rooms, and the flames were issuing from the windows with the most frightful rapidity. Engines soon arrived, and in about two hours the flames were' nearly extinguished. The only damage that is done is the entire gutting of the three upper stories, the remaining part of the building being safe, as well as the contents of the ware- house ( 240 bales of cotton, belonging to Messrs. Mellor, Prevost, and Co.) The cotton was insured. Great fears were at one time entertained that the fire would reach the tea warehouses adjoining, but this was happily prevented.

The Date of RICHMOND presented a petition from Gloucester, re- pealing the complaint respecting the disgusting conduct of the execu- tioner there on a late occasion, and offering to prove the_ truth ofthe allegation.— Lord SEGRAVE believed that the represent ition was well fo tnded, but thought it would not answer any beneficial end to pro- ceed further with the inquiry. The Duke of ARGYLL, as Lord Steward of the Household, pre- sented the answer of Her Majesty to the address, which he read, in Bthese terms:— " VICTORIA R. " I ha> e received, with lively satisfaction, your dutiful and affec- tionate address. The sorrow which you express for the late King, and the testimony which you bear to his virtues entirely acccord with my own feelings. " I return you my thanks for the expression of your loyal attach- ment to my person; and I fervently join in your prayer to Almighty God to strengthen and direct my councils." This mo.- t gracious answer of Her Majesty was again read from the woolsack by the LORD CHANCELLOR, and, on the motion of the Marquess of LANSDOWNE. it was ordered to be entered on the journals of the House. Lord BROUGHAM, at the request of Lord LYNDHURST, postponed Ft! the second reading of the Education and Charities'Bill till Thursday, a The reports of the Small Debts ( Scotland) Bill, and the Commis- sioners of Bankrupt ( Ireland) Bill, were presented.— The East India B Officers ( Madras station) Agency Pay Bill went through Committee, | as did the Marriages, & c„ Registry Act Amendment Bill. I The Earl of ABERDEEN intimated that he had petitions from the 3 Clergymen of the Church of Scotland connected with Scotch Chapels in England, praying to be exempted from the formalities imposed by this Bill on the Clergymen of English Churches and Chapels; and that on a future stage of the Bill he should present them, and pro- pose some remedy to meet their complaint. The Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Bill was brought from the Commons and read the first time. Adj. TUESDAY. The Dublin and Kilkenny Railway Bill, the Bolton and Preston Railway Bill, and the Belfast Harbour Bill, were read afirst time. Another conference took place with the Commons respecting the amendments to tbe Municipal Corporations Act Amendment Bill.— Tbe Earl of SHAFTESBURY c mmunicated the reasons ot the Com- mons for adhering to their amendments, and they were ordered to be printed and taken into consideration on a future day. Earl STANHOPE, pursuant to notice, presentd a petition from the west riding of Yorkshire, for the repeal of the Poor Law Amendment Act. Tbe petition had been adopted by a meeting, he believed, of unparalleled magnitude— it was estimated at about 301,000. The tutmost order and decorum prevailed at the meeting, and th ' petition was in every way deserving of the most serious attention. His Lord- ship proceeded in a speech, replete with eloquence and sound argu- ment, to demonstrate the unconstitutional nature of the Act. " That sue1: a measure should have been supported by any of those who called themselves Conservatives, who seemed to consider themselves as the protectors of th • existing rights of the people, and the institu- tfonsof the country, he was at a loss to conceive, and he could only account for it. on this principle, that it not unfrequently happened, that the professions which human beings made were in directcontra- diction to their conduct." After stating that the Act was subversive of all the institutions and property of the country, his Lordship con eluded with presenting the petition.— The Earl of HAREWOOD said, the Government were in some degree the cause of the great assem- blage which bad been held, for it was stated by the parties who were anxious to get up the meeting that it. appeared from the conduct of the Government themselves on other occasions, that nothing but a great demonstration would do any good. ( Cheers.) The resistance to the Act did not arise from any bad feeling on the part of the peo- ple; but from their unwillingness to have their own system, which had no abuses in it, superseded by the powers placed in the hands of the Commissioners.— Lord PORTMAN maintained that the Act had worked weil; that the resistance to it which had been got up was for electioneering purposes; and that from all he knew ofits working in the west of England, he believed that the poor and other classes would consider any proposition for its repeal as nothing less than a calamity.— Lord WYNFORD regretted that it should have been con- sidered by the petitioners requisite to threaten something veiy like disobedience to the laws if their prayer were not complied with. He believed that part of the Bill had worked well; at th * same time he thought it capable of amendment.— Lord MELBOURNE had heard with concern the petition, but as it was adopted by a respectable and tranquil meeting, he rejoiced that it was presented by a Noble Lord who fully developed the petitioners' views. He regretted, however, that the Noble Lord had sanctioned with his character and name the representation that the Act. was deslructive of all property — that House— the constitaiion itself— and, in fact, would produce a " moral chaos." He ( Lord Melbourne) believed its tendency to be the reverse, and declared that the Government would maintain the Act; though, if amendments could be shown to be requisite and useful, the Government would be willing to adopt them.— Lord BROUGHAM supported the Act, contending that it had woiked well, that it was only opposed where it had not been tried— that he be- lieved it to be popular with the really- industrious and labouring classes; and that it hai^ fot only promoted their comforts, bnt had arrested the downwartkwbgress of their principles and habits.— The Duke of RICHMOND afeTispoke in favour of the measurse.— The peti- tion was ordered to lii'bri' the table.— Adj. > . WEDNESDAY. The several Post- office BSJls were read a third time and passed. The Duke of ARGYLL presented Her Majesty's answer to the last addiess of their Lordships.' It was in these words:— VICTORIA R. " I have received with great satisfaction your loyal and dutiful- address. " It is gratifying to me to learn that the House of Lords will apply itself to forward such measures as will not admit of postponement without injury to the public interests, and to make such provisions as may be requisite for the welfare of the United kingdom." This most gracious answer of Her Majesty was then directed to be entered on the journals of the House. The Dublin Police Bill was read a second time. The LORD CHANCELLOR proposed tbe third reading of the Marriage and Registration Act. Amendment Bill, but, afier some conversation, the discussion was adjourned ; the Bishop of GLOUCESTER giving notic* that he would move a clause by way of rider to the Bill to this effect —" Providedtbat nothing in this Act contained shall oblige any Clergyman of the Established Churchlo solemnise marriage between any parties whose bans shall not have been duly published, or who shall not have been duly licensed for that purpose."— Lord LYND- HURST, in tbe course of the conversation, stated that the present Bill afforded another illustration of the manner in which Bills were sent up from the other House. Thi- Bill had been brought into the other House on the 21st April, and was sent up to their Lordships on the 19th of June. The other House ha t had two months for its con- sideration, and yet their Lord- hips were expected to get it through in six or seven days.— Their Lordships then adjourned. THURSDAY. The Dublin Police Bill went through Committee. The Foreign Officers Bill was read a second time The LORD CHANCELLOR moved that the debate on the Marriage and Registration Act Amendment Bill should be resumed. Upon which the Earl of SHREWSBURY rose, and said that tbe object of the Bill was to relieve the Dissenters, bnt, unfortunately, as ihe Bill of last year was worded, the Roman Catholics had been excluded all benefit thereof. He now proposed a clause which would have the object desired, by which it would be permitted for Roman Catholics to marry in their own places of worship ; the effectof the words being to allow Roman Catholics to marry in all licensed Chapels or places where that religion was promulgated, provided that such place or Chapel had been licensed for one year.— The clause was then put and agreed to.— The Bishop of GLOUCESTER then proposed the clause of which he had given notice.— Lord ELLENBOROUGH thought that the clause proposed would be of no benefit, buttbe contiary.— The clause was ultimately withdrawn, and the Bill was read a third time and passed. The Post- office Management Bill was read a third time and passed. Lord MELBOURNE stated, in answer to a question from Lord CLAN- RICAKOE, that it was not intended to press the Irish Tithe Bill, the Irish Corporations Bill, br the Irish Poor Bill, this session.— The Duke of WELLINGTON said it was not bis intenlioh to enter into any argument with respect to the Irish Municipal Corporation Bill. In former discussions with respect to that Bill, he had stated his ob- jections to it, not to itself alone, but as connected with other Irish measures; he still retained the same objections. At the same time he must say that it was his anxious wish, to put an end to the dis- cussion of all those Bills by bringing them to ;- n amicable termina- tion. He earnestly wished to put an end to the tithe question which was introduced seven years ago. It was also his wish that some arrangement should be made for a provision for the poor in Ireland. It was his wish to see the corporation question settled, when arrange- ments could be made for carrying out the other questions connected with it. He was most anxious that the Parliameniary discussion that now occurred on those questions from year to year should be brought to a c'ose; and he could assure the Noble Viscount, that if in the next Parliament they should meet in the same relative posi- tions, he ( the Duke of Wellington) would be prepared to concur with him on all these subjects in any reasonable measures he might in- troduce for their final and satisfactory settlement. The Education and Charities Bill was withdrawn for the present session. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a Bill " to provide for the ap- pointment of Lords Justices in the case of the next successor to the Crown being out of the realm at the time of the demise of Her Majesty." He did not enter into the details of it, but moved that it be read the first time.— Lord MANSFIELD spoke of the inconvenience and interruption of public business resulting from the present state of the law, which provided that there should be a dissolution of Par- liameoton the demise of the Crown witbin six months, and suggested whether that law ought not to be altered.— Lord MELBOURNE said that such an alteration would be a very important change— that it would deprive thepeople of that opportunity to express their opinion which was now provided, and that it would not be wise at presentto agitate the question, as it must stir up other questions, if agitated.— 1 he Bill was then read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday. Earl STANHOPE presented petitions against the Poor Law Amend- ment Act from the East Riding of Yorkshire, Huddersfield. & c., similar to the one presented by his Lordship on a former evening from the West Riding of Yorkshire. His Lordship again urged the injustice ofthe law, and the necessity of its repeal. Afier a conver- sation of some length, the petitions were laid on the table, and their Lordships adjourned. FRIDAY. At a quarter to five, the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, and Visconnt Duneannon, having taken their seats in front of the Throne, Sir Augustus Clifford, usher of the black rod, was directed to summon the Speaker and Members of the House of Commons to bear the commission read, and witness the Royal assent given to divers bills which have passed both Houses of Parliament since the last commission. In the course of a lew minutes, the Speaker at- tended by a large number of Members, appeared at the bar, when the commission was read. It was headed Victoria Regina, and it is almost neeiless to add, that it was the first commission issued since Her Majesty's accession. _ The Public Bills which received the Royal assent were the Mar- riage Registration Act Amendment Bill, the Turnpike Roads Con- tinuation Bill, the Justice of Peace Bill, the Shires Hall Bill, the Pillory Punishment Abolition Bill, the Royal Military Canal Bill," the Public Works ( Ireland) Bill, and a great many privaie bills, among which was the Chester and Crewe Railwav Bill, the London and Birmingham Railway Alteration Bill, the Ipswich Dock Bill, the Belfast Harbour Bill, the Leeds Water- works Bill, and the Bris- tol Improvement Bill. In the old Noiman French pronounced by the clerk of Parliament to each of tbe public bills, in the phrase " LeRoi le veult," the words " La Reine," were substituted. Lord BROUGHAM presented two petitions, praying that greater fa- cilities might be granted to visit works of art.— Lord HATHERTON thought that Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's, as well as the Na- tional Gallery, should be thrown open. The Bishop of EXETER presented a petition, numerously signed, from Sheffield, for the repeal of the new Poor Law Act, and slated that at a meeting of rate- payers they had actually refused to appoint guardians under ihe Act.— Earl STANHOPE observed that fcur memo- rials had been forwarded from the same town to the Privy Council of a similar description. The Foreign Officers' Bill went through Committee. The LORD CHANCELLOR having opposed the Right of Recoveries Presentation ( Ireland) Bill, the Committee was postponed^ till Mon- day. The Commissioner of Bankrupt ( Ireland) Bill was read a third time, but the passing of it was posip ined, in order to give time for some amendments to be printed.— Adj. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY. The Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Bill was read a third time and passed, and afterwards forwarded to the House of Lords. Mr. HUME postponed his motion regarding household suffrage until next session. Lord SANDON asked whether it was the intention of the Govern- ment to adopt the contract system for carrying the mails by packets between England and Ireland, or to continue the post- office packet system.— Mr. F. BARING answered that it was intended to adopt the contract system. Mr. HAWES wished to know whether Ihe noble Lord the Secretary of Slate for the Home Department had had his attention drawn to two cases which appeared in a morning paper, in one of which it was represented that a police magislrate, m a state of intoxication, had given a gentleman in custody, who was subsequently discharged by that very magistrate, on the ground that there was no foundation whatever for the charge. The other case which appeared in the same paper was, where the chief magistrate of Bow- street had suspended the_ execution of a warrant in the case of felony, the consequence of which was, that the individual had not been taken into custody, the magislrate himself being secmity for his appearance. The Hon. Member wished to know whether the Noble Lord's attention had been called to these cases, and whether he had thought proper to institute proceedings lo protect the public ? — Lord J. RUSSELL said that the conduct ot Mr. Laing towards Dr. Pain had attracted bis notice; but, finding that an action was brought against Mr. Laing, he had not considered that he should be justified in calling on that magistrate for an explanation of his conduct. With respect to the proceeding of Sir F. Roe, he believed that it was not unusual, under peculiar circumstances. On tbe motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the names of the Committee on Church leases were proposed. Mr. GOULBURN complained of the unceremonious manner in which divers trees in Kensington- gardens had been rooted up.— Mr. METHUENand Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE declared that such a course had been pursued because the trees were in a dying state. In Committee of Supply many miscellaneous estimates were moved. During the discussion of the estimates the Government intimated that no efforts should be spared to suppress entirely the traffic in negroes or slaves, ( fee. The various votes having been agreed to, the House adjourned. TUESDAY. The Bolton and Preston Railway Bill was read a third time, and passed. Mr. E. TENNENT withdrew fhe Agricultural and Commercial Bank ( Ireland) Bill, on account of the state of the session; but gave notice that he should renew it next session. A Committee on the subject of the conference wilh the Lords, garding the Municipal Corporation ( England) Bill being appointed, ihe members of it then went forth.— On the return of the conference, the ATTORNEY- GENERALinformed the House, that the conference on Ihe part ofthe Lords had been managed by the Earl of Shaftesbury and others, and that their Lordships dissented from certain of tbe amendments in the Municipal Corporation Amendment Act, and that they agreed to others with amendments, to which they asked the concurrence of that House.— The amendments were ordered to be taken into consideration on Wednesday. Lord JOHN RUSSELL brought up the answers of Her Majesty to the addresses voted by the House of Commons on the demise of the late King, and Her Majesty's accession to the throne. They were as follows:— " VICTORIA R. " 1 receive with the most sincere satisfaction the loyal address of the House of Commons. " The assurance that my affliction for the death of His late Ma- jesty meets with the sympathy of the House of Commons, and that they lament with me the loss which the nation has sustained, is con- solatory to my feelings, and in accordance 1rith my expectations. " It shall be the study of my life to preserve the liberties, to promote the welfare, and to maintain undiminished the ancient glorv I of my people.— V. R." 1 I " VICTORIA R. " 1 receive with great satisfaction your loyal and dutiful address. I " It is very gratifying to me to learn that, the House of Commons I will apply itself without delay to forward such measures as will not I admit of postponement without, injury to the public interests, and > o I milkesuch provision for the pnblicservice as may be requisite for the I welfare of the United Kingdom.— V. R." Lord J. RUSSELL brought up the report of the militarv engineer I appointed by tbe Government to report as to the best line of Brighton I railway. The Noble Lord moved that the end of the report, which I contained the opinion of the engineer should be read, from which it I appeared that the engineer was in favourof the direct line of railway. I The report was ordered to be printed, and to be taken into consi- I deration on an early day. Mr. LABOUCHERE said, in answer to Mr. Hume's inquiry, that Mr. I R. Hill's pamphlet, regarding the Post- office reform, was under, con- 1 sideration ; that a report on it would be made soon ; and that parts I of the plan recommended, he believed, would be adopted. Mr. P. THOMSON, in answer to a question from Captiin Pechell, I said that the Government had been for some time endeavouring to I come to a satisfactory adjustment with the French Government I respecting the Brighton and other fishermen, when engaged off the I coast of France. The report on the Punishment of Forgeries Bill was taken into I further consideration. Lord STAN LEY inquired whether any information had been received I regarding the increase of forgeries in the manufacturing districts?— I Lord J. RUSSELL said he had not leceiied any communication to that I effect; that in the metropolis forgeries had not increased ; and that! th" opinion was that this Bill would have the effect of still further I repressing the crime.— Report agreed to. On the further consideration of the report of the Offences againstl the Peison Bill, Mr. O'CONNELL moved an amendment on the I second clause, that after the words " shall suff- r death," the. e be J added, " or, at the discretion of tbe Court, be transported for the I term of his natural life, beyond theseas, or for a period of not less I than 14 years."— Tbe House divided on Mr. O'CONNELL'S amend- I mcnt. It was negatived by 60 to 36, majority against it 24. The I original clause was then adopted, and the report agreed to. The Robbery and Stealing from the Person Bill, and the other J Bills of this series, were forwarded a stage ; and the Wills Bill, and H other Bills on the orders, were afterwards considered. The Common Law Courts Bill was read a third time and passed. I The Treasurers of Counties ( Ireland) Bill was read a second time. I The Sheriffs' Fees Bill was read a third time and passed. Lord PALMERSTON obtained leave to bring in a Bui for estab- 9 lishing Courts in China—( loud laughing), to facilitate onr commerce 1 in the celestial empire. The other orders were disposed of, and tbe House adjourned. WEDNFSDAY. The Grand Collier Docks Bi: l was r - orted, and ordered to be I engrossed. The London Caoutchouc Con pany Bill was passed by 9 a majority of 35.— The London and Blackwall Commercial Railway 9 Bill was further considered, and the report was agreed to by a 9 maiority of 37. On tbe motion of Lord G. LENNOX, it was ordered that the report 9 of the military engineer, presented June 27, be referred to the Com- 9 mittee on the Brigatou Railway Bills, and that they have power to 9 hear the case of the landowners upon the line called tbe direct line, 1 in order to settle the clauses relative thereto; and further, that theI said Committee have power to consolidate the several lines, or tliel subscriptions for the same, if, and so far as, it shall appear to then Committee proper so to do. On the motion of Mr. Serjeant TALFOURD, the Copyright Bill was 9 read a second time; upon which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman 9 stated, that the principle of the Bill being thereby affirmed, he would 9 uot occupy the time of the House by any further consideration of it, 9 being anxious during the recess to render it more comprehensive iul its grasp, and more perfectin its details. Hetherefore moved that it 9 be committed that day three monihs.— Agreed to. The Bonded Corn Manufacture Bill was last on a division— ayes, 9 57; noes, 82— majority against it, 25; the resistance being on thel ground that it was calculated to circumvent the corn laws.— Several 9 other Bills were forwarded a stage; among them were the " Jewish I Marriages" Bill, Final Register of Electors Bill, < fcc. Lord J. RUSSELL brought in a Bill for continuing one year thel enactments made in tbe last session of Parliament for suspending ap- 9 pointraents to certain dignities and offices in cathedr tl and collegiate I Churches, and to sinecure rectories, and for delaying for a limited time 9 the alteration of ecclesiastical jurisdiction in certain cases. Thel object was to continue the Bill of last year, so as to grevent those 1 having the power of appointment to certain eccelsiastical sinecures, 1 tilling them up in the meantime, as they would be entitled to do it 1 that Bill were allowed to drop, and to afford time for Parliament to 1 legislate with respect to those sinecure livings. , 1 Mr. HUME wished to know whether the Noble Lord had any H objection to ingraft on the Bill a clause to prevent any person with I clerical preferment of 1,0001. a- year from enjoying any other living ? B — Lord J. RUSSELL said the Hon. Member for Middlesex had been I mainly instrumental in preventing the final settlement of this 1 question, by refusing to allow the Benefices Pluralities Bill of last 1 year to pass into a law. It was quite impossible to ingraft a portion I of that measure upon this Bilf, which was merely ofa declaratory I character. 1 Lord J. RUSSELL brought in also a Bill, which was read a first • time, for continuing the Church Building Acts.— Adjourned. THURSDAY. Mr. HUME presented the petition adopted at the Freemasons' I Tavern, for opening to public inspection the public edifices, such as B St. Paul's, Westminster Abbey, tfec., free of expense. B Sir G. GREY, in reply to inquiry, said that the Government had B received no account from Swan River of the adoption of a measure B by the Governor which had destroyed the freedom of the press there. I Mr. Serjeant JACKSON presented a petition from certain inagis- B trates of Kerry, complaiuing of the Irish Government in its conduct B towards the magistrates of Listowel, Kerry, in not pronouncing H opinion after inquiry as to charges preferred by them against a chief B constable.— Lord MORPETH saia various circumstances had caused B the delay, and read a letter on the subject, wherein the Lord Lieute- 1 nant condemned the conduct of the magistrates and of the chief can- fl stable. He said he was ready to produce the correspondence, exa- fl minations, < fcc., voluminous as they were. • The Sugar Duties Bill was read a third time and passed.— The « Wills Bill was read a third time and passed.— Th* Rolls Estate Bill • went through Committee.— The Civil Bill Courts ( Ireland) Bill, and • the Court ot Exchequer ( Scotland) Bill, were reported.— The Impri- B sonment for Debt Bill went through Committee.— The measures for • the mitigation of the criminal law were read a third time and passed. H — The Tithes' Commutation Act Amendment Bill was read a third • time and passed.— Tbe Beet- Root Sugar Bill, and the Masters and • Workmen Bill, were read a second time.— The Final Register B of Electors Bill went through Committee.— The Marriages H and Registration Act Amendment Bill was returned from the Lords I with amendments, which, on the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, were R agreed to.— The Bills of Exchange Bill went through Committee.— • The Reform of Parliament ( Ireland) Bill, and the Sheriffs ( Scotland) • Bill, were read> a second time. B SirG. GREY obtained leave to bring in, and brought in, a Bill to fl continue in force for another year an Act passed in the 9 th year of his H late Majesty King George IV., to provirle for the Administering of • Justice in New South Wales and Van Dieman's Land, and for the • more effectual Government thereof, and foi other purposes relating I thereto.— The House adjourned at half- past 8 o'clock. FRIDAY. ,1 Mr. LABOUCHERE regretted that the Lords had made an alteration m in the Post- office Bill, which was likely to prove fatal to it, as it was • in the nature of a money clause. He, therefore, asked for and ob- • tained leave to bring in a new Bill. fl Mr. C. WOOD, in answer to inquiry, said that a measure had been • introduced regarding the promotion and permanent relief of Marine H officers. . • B Mr. O'CONNELL, in answer to Mr. Shaw, said that he did not in- H tend to bring forward this Session his promised motion regarding the • state of Ireland. , . B The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then brought forward, in • Committee of Ways and Means, his financial statement, or • Budg- • et." The Right Honourable Gentleman entered into the usual • details ofthe income and expenditure, and expressed regret that the • Exchequer could only boast of a surplus of 384,6/ 31. With so small • a surplus, reduction of taxation was out of the question. He, how- • July 2 JOHN BULL. 317 ever said that lie had the satisfaction of stating that the reductions of taxation that heretofore took place had proceeded most satisfac- torily, especially as regarded glass, paper, & c., and that tlie unfunded debt had been reduced to the extent of 5,000,0001. He concluded • with moving that there be issued 13,000,0001. Exchequer bills, to re- new outstanding Exchequer bills.— A long and desultery discussion ensued, Mr. HUME condemning the conduct of the Government, as did Mr. RICHARDS and various other Members. It will thus be seen that so far as Churchmen are concerned, they are scarcely, ifat all, affected by these Acts. They may have recourse to the secular Register, but they are not compelled to do so. They may, with respect to Marriages, Baptisms, and Burials, proceed in the manner they have hitherto done, and incur no penalties." OnTuesday, the20th ult., the Chapel recently completed on Bushey- heath, Herts, was consecrated by the Bishop of LONDON. The Cha- rt,,. House afterwnrds~ resolved into a Committee of Supply, in Tlie REV- THOS- ENGLAND, M. A.. to be Chaplain to tlie Hon.

Andrew Hatt, D. lf., deceased. . | fe a S ™ 14 fr? m the STANLEY, in moving a vote of 29,4001. lor the British Museum, which was granted, made the following statement:—" The public had ' greater means of enjoying the benefits of the British Museum than were to be found in any country in Europe in the case of a similar institution. He was happy in being able to state, that on Easter Monday, in the course of eight hours, as many as 23,985 persons, and on Whit- Monday as many as 30,000 persons, had visited the Museum without doing the slightest mischief. He could scarcely have con- ceived that so many individuals could have passed through without doing some, even unintentional, injury to the collection." The Imprisonment for Debt Bill, after three attempts and divisions for the purpose of adjourning the question, was reported, and order. ri to be read a third time on Monday.— Adj. A most painful and heart- rending calamity has arisen in the family of a worthy and much- respected Clergyman, the Rev. Charles Candy, of Haslemere. in Surrey, whose eldest son, a fine and interesting youth about eleven yeacs old, was taken from a pond in Mr. Candy's pleasure grounds on Saturday the 24th instant, and on whom an in- quest was held the following' Tuesday, before Henry Woods, Esq., Coroner, and a respectable jury. The evidence as to the finding of the child was detailed, under feelings of deep anguish, by a lady of the name of Kendall, now on a visit to the family, who on walking round the grounds with Mr. Candy's mother, between two and three in the afternoon was, on their approach to the pond, horror- struck with the sight of the child extended on its back on the surface of the water in a lifeless state. From the circumstance of the deceased having been seen amusing himself near the pond between on » and two o'clock in the afternoon, it was conjecturedI that he must have fallen in accidentally, bul in the absence of any positive evidence to this effect, the Jury returned their verdict, " That William Charles Candy was found drowned, but under what circumstances he came into the water there was no evidence before them." HYDROPHOBIA.— On Tuesday last, a distressing case of death from hydrophobia happened at Cel'n- Lys, near Penybont. A poor woman, the wife of Edward Jones, an industrious labourer, was oitten in the thumb, some time in October last, by a cat, which was supposed to have been affected with rabies at that time ; being apprehensive that such was the case, the poor woman took internally some powdered well- field stone, an antidote considered by the credulous in the neighbourhood as a sure preventive from the dreadful malady. The wound soon healed, and nothing more was thought on the sub- ject till Monday last, when the poor creature was taken very ill, and exhibited all the symptoms attendant on that horrifying disease; she appeared in a dreadful state of nervous agitation, complained of intolerable thirst, and when liquids of any kind were offered her, screamed and raved and fell into violent convulsions. At two o'clock on Tuesday morning the poor creature died, leaving four infant children, one of which was a t the breast, and was actually suckled by the mother a short time previous to her death.— Carmarthen Journal EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY.— A few days ago, James Dinsdale, of Askern, in Wensleydale, travelled from the former place to Bishop Thornton, a distance of 41 miles, with a horse and cart, in 14 hours, conveying 80 stone of cheese and 10 stone of bacon. The age of the horse is 35 years, and that of the man 76, who had very recently re- covered from a severe attack of the influenza.— Doncaster Chronicle. CRIM. CON. PUNISHED CRIMINALLY IN JERSEY.— On Monday the King's Procureur presented a report to the Royal Court, asserting that Mr. De La Mane, of the parish of St. Martin, in that island, and the wile of Mr. Nicholle, of the same parish, had_ committed adultery. The frail couple pleaded guilty, and submitted to the judgment of the Court. Evidence was heard which left no doubt of the facts as presented. Sir John De Veulle, the Bailiff, after a suit- able admonition, in the course of which he showed the enormity of ' the crime the prisoners had committed, sentenced Mr. De La Mane to three months' imprisonment with hard labour, at the termination of which to find bail to keep the peace, and Mrs. Nicholle was sen- tenced to three months' solitary confinement, and the last month on bread and water.— Jersey Patriot. FATAL MAIL ACCIDENT.— Sunday morning, between one and two* a dreadful accident happened, by which Crouch, the coachman of the Lincoln mail between Baldock and Peterborough, lost his life. There was a very thick fog at the time, so dense, that objects could not be distinguished at a dis' ance of eight or ten yards, and just at the place where the Lincoln up mail and down mail meet, a collision took place, and both coaches were thrown upon the bank. Crouch, the . coachman of the up mail, upon which there was no passengers, was so dreadfully injured that he died in a very short time. There were seven passengers, inside and out upon the down mail, among whom was the Right Hon. C. T. D'Eyncourt, M. P., but we are happy to say the whole escaped without injury.— Lincoln Gazette. On Saturday morning last, two brothers, named John and William Mallinson, sawyers, came to their deaths under the following cir- cumstances:— A mill being now in course of erection at Sowerby- bridge, the two unfortunate men were employed in it as sawyers, and Deing desirous of ascending to the top of the chimney got into ( he corve for that purpose, and three of the other men agreed to crane them up, which having been done, the men at the crane refused to let them down unless the two brothers agreed to pay for some beer, which they declined tn comply with. The men at the crane fastened it and left the ill- fated brothers up above till the others Icame from breakfast. Some lads, however, coming past shortly ( ifter, the two brothers called out to them to let them down, when t- CCLESlAtil 1CAL IN 1 KLLIUKi\ CE. PREFERMENTS, i- c. The Rev.

MISCELLANEOUS: NEW MARRIAGE AND REGISTRATION ACTS.— The authorities of Several parishes have issued placards and handbills, announcing that a compliance with the requirement of these Acts, which came into operation on the 1st inst., is entirely optional, and that those who wish to avail themselves of the office's of the Church may continue to do so legally, as heretofore.

" It having pleased Divine Providence in its immortal wisdom to | call out of this morlal state, on the - 20th of this month, the late most puissant Prince and Sovereign William IV., King of the united kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, & c., also King of Hanover, I Duke of Brunswick and Luneburg, & c., our late most gracious King ! and Sovereign, and tlie Government of the kingdom of Hanover, by I virtue of the rights of succession in the royal family having, by the I law of primogeniture, come to His Majesty King Ernest Augustus, I our present most gracious King and Sovereign, we hereby give public I notice of the same, observing that His Majesty, our most gracious I King; now reigning, who is at present in London, will shortly arrive I in this capital, when his further commands may be expected mean- I time His Majesty has been pleased to signify to us his royal pleasure | that till his further orders eierything shall go on in its usual course. " The Viceroy and the Cabinet Ministry, " ADOLPHUS STRALENHEJM. " ALTEN SCHULTE. " J. C. VONDER WISCH. " Hanover, June 24, 1837." Letters from Hanover of the 24th of June say— At one o'clock I this morning we received here the melancholy news of the death of I our King, William IV. A notification issued by the Viceroy and I the Ministry was read to day in the Second Chamber to announce I this event, which will plunge the whole country in mourning. The | Estates were at the same time informed that His Majesty, our pre- I sent King, Ernest Augustus, may be very shortly expected. I Counsellor Stove then proposed— 1st, to send an address of con- I dolence to Her Majesty the Queen, and 2d, an address of condolence I to His Royal Highness the Viceroy, especially expressing the gra- I titude of the country for the affection and zeal with which this I Prince has for more than 20 years conducted the Government of this | country. This motion, seconded by Dr. Christian]' and Syndic I Lunzef, was adopted unanimously by the assembly, which was I deeply affected. I His Majesty Ernest Augustus is expected here on the 27th to I ascend the Throne. The section of the Constitution on this subject I runs thus:—" The King will announce his accession to the Throne I by letters patent, after which the oath of allegiance is to be taken, I according to directions issued by him, which are to be the same for I the whole country. In the letters patent, the original of which, I with the King's own signature and seal appended, is to be deposited I in ihe archives of the kingdom, the King promises on his Royal word Irnviolably to maintain the constitution of the kingdom." | His Royal Highness the Viceroy, with his family, will probably I leave ns, if not before, yet certainly immediately after, the arrival of 1 His Majesty. I There can hardly be a doubt that on view of the extensive duties I which the Government must have to perform on this change of the I Sovereign, the most important that, has occurred in Hanover for a I century, a dissolution of the Assembly of the Estates may be looked I on as immediate. I We are all in anxious expectation of coming events, and while I mourning over our deceased Sovereign, indulge in the cheering I hope that God may have given the country a giacious and jnst King, I who, like his deceased Royal brother, will look on the constitution I of the country, the happiness of his subjects, as the most sacred | treasures which God has confided to him, to be accounted for on the I day of judgment, and so full of confidence and hope, we offer him on I his accession to the Throne the dearest possession, the inalienable I property of his vassals— the love of the people. into supporting their candidates by a declaration of senti- g ments which they flatter themselves may conciliate their op- ponents; while, on the other hand, they denounce those who are not to be duped, as enemies to the QUEEN, because they are of opinion that the best thing which could happen to Her MAJESTY and her people would he a change of men, and, consequently, of measures. The timehas not yet arrived for the QUEEN to speak out, but we are inclined to believe that when it has, those Noble Lords and Right Hon. Gentlemen, as well as those who mean to become Noble Lords and Right Hon. Gentlemen, who have so unceremoniously and unhesitatingly bragged of their un- bounded power over Her MAJESTY, will find themselves somewhat mistaken. At all events, it is clear, eveii now, that we may earnestly oppose them in the coming contest without incurring auy imputation of a personal opposition to the feelings of the SOVEREIGN. In order to show our readers how much reliance is to be placed upon the importance which Ministers ascribe to their various measures while in progress, it is only necessary to observe the perfect ease anil coolness with which they give them up the moment it suits their purpose to do so, and how suddenly all those admirable improvements of the condition of the PEOPLE, which they have so long flourished before our eves, are dissipated and extinguished. For the amelioration of our condition, the improvement of the law, and sundry such purposes, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in the month of May, brought in no fewer than nine Bills— they were read a first and second time, and upon the day appoint- ed for committing them, the House was left so conveniently thin, that it was counted out, and the nine Bills filled with benevolent intentions were lost for ever. But then the ATTORNEY- GENERAL, in the ardour of good- ness and a most admirable zeal, set his wits to work to pre- pare a Bill for the abolition of Imprisonment for Debt. Prayers were put up by thousands for blessings on his head — penny cups were ordered, freedoms of coporations pre- pared, all in readiness for presentation to the immortal eman- cipator of the poor debtors. This soothing, liberal Bill was, like the nine preceding ones, read once, read twice— the com- mital was fixed for the 18th of May, and again the House of Commons was kept so conveniently thin, that it was again counted out. It may seem a work of supererogation, after Lord LYND- HURST'S speech on Friday se'nnight, to notice all the tilings which these Ministers have professed to do, and all that they have actually done; but it may be as well to remark, that the Benefices Plurality Bill, being opposed by the Radicals, was withdrawn— a second was introduced and there stopped. The Irish Church Bill— the Bill of the Session— is at an end ; the English Church Bill, ditto; the Irish Poor Law Bill, ditto; the Appropriation Clause, ditto; the Irish Municipal Cor- porations Bill, ditto; and yet, as we have already said, not only has the whole session been occupied in forwarding these measures, but the oratory of the whole Cabinet and its subor- dinates has been put in requisition to prove their vast con- sequence and vital importance to the country, its welfare, and its tranquillity. Out of evil it seems there grows good, and out of the misfortune that has befallen the nation the shufflers I the mutual approbation of both Monarchs, of Lord DURHAM'S skill in patching up the affair of the Vixen. Indeed, it is [ generally rumoured that Lord DURHAM intends visiting Russia again in his private character. Lord DURHAM is unquestionably one of the quickest of I his party. He is perfectly right in declining tbe embassy to France by way of a put- off ' from a Secretaryship of State. I There is n » reason why, if bis former colleagues were not I jealous of him, he should not have the Portefeuille of Foreign | Affairs, making Lord 1' ALMERSTON Lord CHAMBERLAIN, for which office his Lordship is admirably qualified. Lord ' DURHAM ought not to permit himself to he driven into tirement. He ought to pause— and since his friends are equally Idivided between Conservatism and Radicalism, his Lordship, whose stake in the country gives him an importance which t few or any of them possess, should pause, and consider into | which scale he will throw his influence. WE rejoice to know that Sir ROBERT PEEL is rapidly re- | covering from his late painful attack. IT is with infinite satisfaction we can assure our readers of| the unquestionable evidence of the ascendancy of Conservativ principles all over England, and even in Ireland. AVeneitherl are, nor ever have been, sanguine anticipators in election [ matters; because, upon the principle that " men always be- 1 lieve what they wish to be true," we consider them very fre- [ quently to miscalculate their real position. Even we, how- 1 ever, must admit the brightness of our prospects; which, if I realized, will place the country and its Monarch in a most en- 1 viable position. As far as our immediate neighbourhood is concerned, Sir I FRANCIS BURDETT retires laurel- crowned from West- I minster, and Sir GEORGE MURRAY, a man popular as we I believe with all parties, and whose public career has been [ marked by bravery, honour, integrity, and wisdom, offers} himself to the electors, together with Mr. LEADER ( whom! they have again prevailed upon to spend ills money), and | Colonel EVANS, who has promised to produce incontro- 1 vertible evidence to falsify all the reports in circulation ofl excessive military punishment in the Legion lately under his I command. In Middlesex Mr. POWN ALL starts with our late candidate, I Mr. WOOD, of Littleton. IThe handsome and spirited man- 1 ner in which the former gentleman has come forward, in I the disinterested vindication of the principles so gallantly | professed by the latter, will insure him the support of all I those who are truly earnest in the cause. We have just heard that Mr. HORSLEY PALMER and Mr. | LYALL will offer themselves for the City of London. We have elsewhere given theaecounts of Election proceed- 1 ings, as they have appeared in the daily and other papers,! but they are in many instances erroneous, and we delay until I next week giving a list of our own. IT will be observed that to the Proclamation of the Lordl Lieutenant of Ireland, in Council, for the alteration of certain I parts of the Liturgy of the Protestant Church, there arel affixed the signatures of two Roman Catholic Councillors, Sir f MICHAEL O'LOGHLIN, Master of the Rolls, and Mr. I ANTHONY RICHARD BLAKE, Chief Remembrancer. This| is curious, to say tbe least of it. THE Royal Family of France are at Neuilly. There have I been several seizures of books and pamphlets in Paris, and ofl the newspapers which have ventured to review them. The f King of the BELGIANS has announced his intention of going! into mourning for two months for his late Majesty King I WILLIAM the FOURTH. A report has been circulated in the I . ,, .11 „• • t - i I city, no doubt with some motive, of the death of His Maiestv I nave contnvect to escape toe demolition as a_ » in « ray, wmco g the' Ki(] g of PaBSSU; but it is not believed. The King ofl NAPLES, it is said, has forgiven the Prince of CAPUA for his I THE importance of the approaching general election, and I its results, is so self- evident, that we should think we need 1 not say one word in the way of appeal to our Conservative I readers in order to rouse them to activity and exertion, not I only in the way of canvassing and collecting friends and sup- I porters of the cause of the QUEEN and CONSTITUTION, but in I correcting and explaining away the insidious statements and | false asseverations of the DESTRUCTIVES that the CONSER- I VATIVES are opposing themselves to II er MAJESTY, while they are, in fact, supporting the CROWN against the most [ reckless faction that ever endangered it. These are not times for men to consult their own comforts | or consider their personal ease. It is quite true that a con- scientious fulfilment of Parliamentary duties entails upon a I man, especially if he be actively engaged in other pursuits, I great fatigue, trouble, and inconvenience. But at this crisis I these circumstances ought to weigh no more with him, than I the incidental perils and hardships of war affect the conduct I of those heroes who, in the field or on the ocean, fight their I country's battles, the success of which, even if the result be more glorious to the individuals concerned, is not more im-. portant to the country's welfare than the defeat of the existing Popish- Whig- Radical party, which threatens her altars anil I her throne with a hardihood and malevolence quite equal to those of her bitterest foreign enemies. As to her present MAJESTY'S Ministers, they are so I thoroughly convinced of the powerful influence of Conservatism I ' rom the highest places in the empire to the lowest, that they I themselves are becoming avowed Conservatives, and Lord I JOHN RUSSELL has gone tile length of informing the Dissen- I ters, that Government have unequivocally rejected the volun- tary system, and are determined to uphold the Establishment las one of the greatest blessings to the country. His Lordship nothing but the conscientious and constitutional conduct of Sir ROBERT PEEL could even so long as this have averted. Thus exposed, thus laughed at by one party, despised by another, doubted by a third, and degraded by their association with a fourth— yet, still resolved to renew their course of at- tempts, only to be baffled and beaten, they will in a few days be again before the country, and it will be for the country to choose between empty professions and hollow promises, and the ability and desire to maintain the Constitution by the unpretending reform of any real abuses that may exist, between the sickening love of place, pay, and per- sonal aggrandizement, and the ardent, loyal, and earnest wish to uphold the sacred institutions of our beloved country. The crisis is at hand, and the Conservatives must be on the alert— their watch word ours, For GOD, the SOVEREIGN, and the PEOPLE." HER Grace, the Duchess of SUTHERLAND, a lady whose rank, character, and accomplishments render her eminently worthy the distinction, has been appointed Mistress of the Robes to Her MAJESTY. The Marchioness of LANSDOWNE has been appointed Groom of the Stole, a high office, but with a somewhat unfeminine title ; and the Marchioness of | TAVISTOCK, one of the Ladies of the Bedchamber. We have great pleasure in announcing that Sir HENRY WHEATLEY, Keeper of the Privy Purse to his late MAJES- TY, has been appointed to the same office by Queen VIC- TORIA. AMONG other anecdotes which are in circulation illustra- tive of the nobleness of mind and kindness of heart of our j youthful SOVEREIGN, one— which we have every reason to believe— strikes us as eminently beautiful. The first act of I Her MAJESTY'S Queenly life, was writing that letter to QUEEN ADELAIDE, which breathed the purest and tenderest feelings of affection and condolence, and evinced a spirit of generosity and consideration which has obtained Her MAJESTY golden opinions. Her MAJESTY wrote that letter spontaneously, and having finished it, folded and addressed i it to " Her MAJESTY the QUEEN." Some one at hand, who bad the light to make a remark,! noticing this, mentioned that the superscription was not cor- rect, for that the letter ought to be directed to Her MAJESTY the QUEEN DOWAGER. " I am quite aware," said QUEEN! VICTORIA, " of Her MAJESTY'S altered character, but I will j not be the first person to remind her of it." indiscreet union with the amiable and beautiful Miss SMITH, I land, it is added, has despatched a ship of war to fetch his I Royal Highness and Princess PENELOPE to his capital. FROM the beginning of the Spanish servile war, the accounts I of the marchings and countermarchings of the different I armies and their Generals have been so scientifically mysti- [ fied for the good of the Foreign Stock Exchange, that, ex- 1 cept when furnished exclusively with details upon which we I could rely, we have invariably waited for authenticated facts I wherewith to enlighten our readers. To- day we give them I the following official news from Spain, which requres but! little comment:— The entry of Don Carlos into Berga has been fully confirmed. I The Carlists entered on the 14th; they took 2,000 muskets, and made | 900 prisoners— i. e., they have 900 fewer enemies, and 2,000 more sol- diers. .. The following is the official report of the entry of Don Carlos into I Solsona. I have given it literatim:— I " The 15th of June will never be effaced from the annals of the I province of Catalonia. At eleven in the morning our idolized King, I our Sovereign and Lord Don Carlos V.. made his solemn and pom- 1 pous entry into the town of Solsona. At half- past eleven the Infante. I Don Sebastian, Cap ain- General of the armies, arrived. A brilliant! escort of cavalry and of infantry accompanied Don Carlos. He was I received by the 8th, 9th, and 23d battalions of infantry, and by tv. o I squadrons of lancers of this province. Placed under a canopy, be- [ Iween the Bishops of Solsona and of Lerima, he immediately pro- I ceeded to the Cathedral Church, where a Te Deum was sung. His I Majesty was afterwards accompanied by the Infante to the episcopal I palace, in the midst of the acclama'ions of a numerous crowd.) There the Bishop, at the head of the Chapter, addressed to him the I following harangue:— • " ' We know not how, Sire, to express to your Majesty at this for- tunate moment the emo: ions of our hearts. We are happily surprised I by the presence of the sacred person of a King elected by God to save I his people, like another Dnvid, and who, in imitation of that holy I king, has suffered with the greatest heroism the insults, the male- l dictions, the persecutions ol ihe Sauls of this age, and whose hands, | guided and instructed by the God of armies, have triumphed in the I presence of admiring Europe over the numerous soldiers of four [ powers conspiring together to make war against God. These con- I siderations ought, our .' overeign Lord, to excite in our sonls the sen- 1 timents of the purest tenderness, love, aud respect for your Majesty, I and we ought to feel ever thankful to heaven, who has given us a I Sovereign who accomplishes so faithfully his holy will, and without I whom Spain would to- day be wilhout a Throne, a Clergy without an [ altar, and its properties would be delivered up to foreign hands Our Sovereign, the cause of your Majesty is that of God. He will confirm, thiough the intercession of the very Holy Virgin, the im- mense work begun fuur years ago by your Majesty in favour of this Catholic nation. Thus pray the Bishop of Solsona and his chapter, and they entreatyour royal Majesty to deign to accept their homage, LORD DURHAM has been invested with the Order of the land to hold out your hand lhat they may kiss it.' , , Bath on his return from Although the investitu^ was necessarily the act ot Her MAJESTY the QUEEN, the | and | he fatalonian battalions defiled before them in the best order, honour of the red riband was bestowed upon his Lordship by | and caused the air to resound with their liveliest acclamations.

" I To which we may add the following extract from a letter from Bayonne, dated the 24lh of J tine :— 1 " The troops under the command of Espartero have left Puentalu I Reyna, Mendigorria, and Lerin, in order to march on Lodosa; while, I on the other hand, four Portuguese battalions left Vittoria, in the di- I rection of Logrono, with the O' ject of crossing the Ebro in that di- Irection. The Carlist battalions stationed at Echauri, under the I orders of Zariategui, hare moved off to the right of Espartero. It is I said that Cabrera is moving on towards Madrid. The Carlist army jhad effected its junction with the bands of Tristany, and the whole as encamped at Cordona and the neighbouring villages." It appears to us, that a very short time will settle the im- I portant question between the de jure KING and the de facto [ QUEEN. Her MAJESTY and Her MAJESTY'S Ministers go ion as if they were not at all prepared for the crisis, while the [ unfortunate British Legion are getting sway, paid or unpaid, j as fast as they can ; so that, as far as England is concerned, I the renewal of the suspension of the Foreign Enlistment Act | is a dead letter. THE venerable Mr. COKE, of Holkliam, whose speech ( about KING GEORGE THE THIRD, our readers cannot have I forgotten, unwilling probably after such a denunciation, to j receive at the hands of that MONARCH'S grand- daughter, a 1 favour in his own person, has waived his pretensions to a Peerage in favour of his lady. Lady ANNE is accordingly to be created a Peeress in her own right immediately. MR. SPRING RICE on Friday produced the Redicule, I which he called a budget. The expectant Radicals will I perhaps be disappointed at finding that there is to be no re- I duction of taxes, nor any change of taxation. How there I should have been, we admit we do not exactly see, inasmuch I as the produce of united f rugality and prosperity amounts to [ the stupendous sum of300,0001. surplus, beyond the revenue 1 for the past year. The other Mr. RICE, the real Jim Crow, was married on I Thursday, and is gone to Richmond to pass the honey moon I We are requested to say that he did not travel by TAPFS. As we approach the general election we think it especially I necessary to remind those who have votes to give, and whose I feelings towards their less fortunate fellow- countrymen are [ not entirely blunted by the successful study of Lord RAD- 1 NOR'S system of political economy, to bear in mind the in- fliction which tile lower orders have suffered at the hands of Her MAJESTY'S present Ministers and their adherents, in the I shape of the New Poor Laws— laws made for the rich and I great, but which have, as far as their practical effect goes, nothing for the poor but imprisonment, starvation, and dis- | section. It is all extremely well for a few individuals, with the best [ possible intentions, to get up in their places, in either House | of Parliament, and eulogise the good effects produced by the | new laws— but that says nothing to the real point. It may be ] very true that the great landholders who were overbur- I theued under the old system, are much better off under the [ new one; but then the new law ought to be called an Act for the benefit of the Rich, and not of the Poor. Lord BROUGHAM magnanimously declared on Wednesday in the I House of Lords, that the savings effected by the new law were I only a secondary consideration— the great recommendations | of the Bill, his Lordship said, " were, that it ivould improve | the condition of the poor man, it would increase his comforts, that | it would tend to raise him in his own estimation, improve his | moral condition, and above all, that it would arrest the down \ ward progress in the moral and social scale to which the una- I mended poor law system directly tended." Now, if the savings effected by the new law, and which I Lord BROUGHAM, when the kind- hearted Liberals were I pushing the measure, told the country it was absolutely ne- I cessary to effect in order to protect the landlords themselves | from beggary— if, we say, these savings are but a secondary I object, why starve the poor creatures— why stint them— why I reduce them to a dietary wholly unsuited to their age and ( necessities? Does Lord BROUGHAM really believe that I poor man's condition is improved by being shut up in abastile I Does he really believe his morals will be mended by being I huddled into that bastile with all sorts of companions, from I whom he is unable to escape into the fresh air? Does he j think that the consciousness of being an under- fed captive, I destined to be handed over to the surgeons when dead, will I raise him in his own estimation ? Or does his Lordship I think that separating him from his wife, the partner of I his long aud honest life, is likely to arrest his downward pro- I gress in the social scale ? We think not. And as for Lord J BROUGHAM'S facts, he seems to be as ill- informed upon those, I as he is mistaken in the inferences which he draws. His Lord- I ship eulogises the Commissioners— denies the imprisonment, I and denounces its illegality; and yet the fact is, that the im- I prisonment is so rigid that the poor people are not even | allowed to go out to Church on the Sundays. We call attention to the following petition presented by [ Lord STANHOPE as containing the whole body of unanswer- | able objections to the hateful enactment, and the fairest pos- I sible exposure of the consequences to be apprehended from Iits continued operation:— I" To the Right Hon. the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament as- sembled. " The humble Petition of the Inhabitants of the West Riding of the county of York, convened in public Meeting, the 11th day of May, 1837, " Showeth,— That one great object of all government ought to be j the welfare of the productive classes of society, which object would be materially promoted by a well regulated system of poor laws. " That the wisdom and justice of our aucestors have given to the I labourers in distress as good a right to relief as the landholder has to I the profit of his estate. I " That the Poor Law Amendment Act virtually denies to the poor I the right to live in the land of their birth— a right which your peti- tioners hold to be unalienable, and not to be infringed upon without danger to the peace and well- being of society. " That this Act violates the principles of self- government, upon j which the most ancient aud most cherished of our institutions are j founded; inasmuch as it takes away from the rate- payers the power | of managing their own local concerns, and of disposing of their own j funds, and puts this power in the hauds of three Commissioners in I London, whom it authorises to make rules, regulations, and orders j equally binding with laws passed by King, Lords, and Commons. " That, as the treatment of the female portion of society, by those j who have hitherto swayed their united destinies, has been considered I to mark unerringly the degree of civilization at which a nation has I arrived, it is a matter of deep sorrow to find in the bastardy clauses of J this Act an utter disregard ot those obligationsof'juslica towards wo- I man which it is so much to the honour aud interest ot" man to fulfil; land that whilst your petitioners are anxious to express their abhor- I rence of, and to disclaim all sympathy with, the cold, heartless, and I selfish spirit which in these clauses manifests itself so undisguisedly, I and the presence of which is to be detocted in the whole act, they feel themselves bound most solemnly to declare their conviction, that H19 neither the peace, happiness, nor honour of England can be main- tained until that spirit be exorcised from the Legislature— until there be an utter abandonment of that policy which produces such results as the Poor Law Amendment Act. " That your petitioners consider any Government, whether Whig, Tory, or Radical, which adopts the principles of this Act to be un- worthy of the confidence and support of the people. " That your petitioners deprecate anarchy and civil strife, and foresee, in the principles of this Act, the inevitable destruction of all private property, being fully convinced that the most serious results must follow the confiscation by law of the property of the poor. I " Your petitioners, therefore, most earnestly request the immediate and total repeal of the Poor Law Amendment Act. " And your petitioners will ever pray, Ac." Upon this petition the speeches of Lord STANHOPE and Lord WYNFORD were unanswerable, and accordingly they remained unanswered. Lord PORTMAN spoke, and so did Lord BROUGHAM, and so did Lord MELBOURNE, but to no purpose— they offended their lungs uselessly, and so will all men who attempt" to force this abominable measure upon the country. We have already said that many noblemen and gen- tlemen of Whig aud Tory principles have vouched for the good working of the Bill, as far as tiiey and their property have been concerned, and gravely told us that robberies have been less frequent since they have locked up the starving poor. The truth is, as the Wakefield petition says, the measure is one, and ought to be one, of NO POLITICS ; but as it has been carried by the Whig- Radical people- loving Ministers, and as they and all their job- worshipping adherents have contributed to hatch and keep it alive, it becomes the duty of every elector who cares for the poor to ascertain the views which gentlemen who solicit their suffrages entertain upon it NOW, and what they will do with regard to it IN FUTURE. For ourselves, the man who would advocate its continuance, and refuse to make every effort for its thorough amendment, if not absolute repeal, should have no vote of ours, be he whom he might; and we trust our feelings are those of a vast majo- rity of the British Electors, who will do their duty faithfully and fearlessly when the day of election comes. IT is confidently stated that the Roman Catholic Priest- hood, not only in Ireland, but in this country, have prohibited their flocks from wearing mourning for His late MAJESTY. MAY THE YOUNG QUEEN BE HAPPY.* BY THOMAS HAYNES BAYLY. May the young QUEEN be happy, and calm her renown, While the sword in its scabbard reposes ; On the forehead of youth may the sovereign crown Press no more than a chaplet of roses: May the arts, as they did in ELIZABETH'S reign, Shed around inl ellectual glory ; While VICTORIA'S annals are free from the stain Of the errors that darken'd her story. May the young QUEEN be happy, unsullied her Court, And the love of her people her pride and support. May the young QUEEN be happy!— should peace pass away, Not a heart in her kingdom would falter: Her voice would call forth a triumphant array In defence of the Throne and the Altar! But laurels enough ready gathered we find, And no spark of true spirit he loses, Who prays that the olive may now be entwined Writh the ever- green wreath of the Muses. May the young QUEEN be happy! unsullied her Court, And the love of her people her pride and support. * This song will be published j- et to uiiiRie by Mr. J. P. Knight. SIR JOHN CONROY has been created a Baronet, a dis- tinction which he well deserves, for his long services in the Household of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of KENT. tects should be named to compete for the designs, notwithsatnding I the pievious admission of a tacit agreement that the competition was [ to be confined to Messrs. BASSEVI and BLOKE. The motion was carried, and the seven architects met, but— from | what doubts or misgivings they were induced to do so, we know not- they applied to the Committee to know whether the sum named as I having been voted was to include the architects' usual commission of I Jive per cent., and the salary of a clerk of the works. The reply ofl the Committee, we understand, was that the sum was to include these I charges, but that the entire allowance to the architect for himself and E the contingent was to be limited to 1,0001. The offer was then! unanimously rejected by the seven architects. They were then asked what they considered the amount of remu- neration ought to be, and the answer was, that the usual and estab- lished commission of five per cent, upon 35,0001. would alone bel 1,7501. The Committee then offered 1,5001. altogether, which j proposition was strongly protested against by one of the professional j men; and here, as far as we know anything about it, the matter rests. [ Now, we notice this affair, not because the Reform Club happens [ to be concerned, because, if it were possible that such a proposi- tion could have been made by the Carlton or White's, we should I equally have taken it up, upon grounds not political, but, if we may I be allowed the word, artistical. It is quite clear that, if such a pro- j position be admitted, and the regular commission be disallowed, there can remain no reason why any person building should pay I that which amounts by force of custom almost to a law, namely, I the five per cent, commission, aud the salary of a clerk of the works- We address ourselves to the architects themselves, and we tell them, I that upon their decision of this case depends, not only the just ad- [ vantages due to the members of their profession, but the respecta- I bility of their professional character. We have not heard what the [ decision has been, or whether it has yet been made. A MOST wise and just measure has been taken in many parishes, and will, we trust, be taken in all, with regard to the New Marriage and Registration job. People have, in nu- merous instances, fancied that this jobbery went the length of preventing any future marriages in Churches, and that it was made the law of the land that everybody should be mar- ried by a deputy registrar or clerk, or indeed any indifferent official, duly authorised to receive the signature of the con- tracting parties, together with the regulated fee. Thank GOD, the pious Ministers have not yet carried their veneration for the Church and its offices quite so far. Those persons who believe that a marriage without a Clergyman, and the per- formance of the regular service of matrimony, is no marriage at all, may still be married as heretofore; and we rejoice to know that so far from this new experiment being considered a boon to the Dissenter, women of every persuasion, per- fectly convinced that the mere signature, of a subordinate job- ber is not likely to render tile state holy into which they propose to enter, will refuse to take any men to be their wedded husbands who have not gone through that old- fashioned ceremony which ( lie liberal yet devoutly pious Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in imitation of one of the most striking enactments of the beginning of the French Revolution, has so religiously dispensed with. MR. ROBERT GORDON is to be the colleague of Mr. RAMS- 1 BOTTOM in the contest for Windsor. This is a very curious coincidence, but we very much doubt w- hether they will secure both seats. THE sailors in Her MAJESTY'S navy are bad hands at making out names. The Bellerophon is always the Billy- ruffian— the hirondelle. the Iron- devil— the Ptarmigan is the Termigant, and the Nautilus the Naughty- lass, and so on ad infinitum. When the QUEEN was pro- claimed at Portsmouth, one Jack, with two foot tail to his head and a " ne quid nimis" in his mouth, cried out the moment the cere mony was over—" There, I told you so— she won't have none o' the Radicals— they call her Queen WHIG- TORY, and that's a Conservative all the world over." THE Reform Club we hear has raised a question which is of the highest importance to the architects of this country. It seems that this club having determined to build, voted fifteen thousand pounds for the purpose, the present Hole in the Wall to form part of the en- larged edifice, but to remain itself in statu quo. Mr. BASSEVI and Mr. BLORE were requested separately to survey the site, which they did, and after reporting in the most laudatory terms upon the manner in which Mr. DECIMUS BURTON had altered and arranged the present house for the accommodation of the members, decided that, in order to make anything of the ground, the old Hole in the Wall must come down. Their report was submitted to a general meeting, and 35,0001. was voted, upon which a member of the club proposed that seven archi- THE authorship, political, historical, and dramatic, of Lord I JOHN RUSSELL, has long been the subject of praise and! admiration; but we very much doubt whether, in all liis| literary career, he has ever equalled, certainly never excelled, the letter which he has thought proper to address to his I constitueutsat Stroud. We cannot resist insertingit, venturing [ to offer a few remarks upon its merits, paragraph by para- graph, as we proceed. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF STROBD. TVilton- crescent, June 29. " Gentlemen,— The lamented death of the late King will renderI necessary an early dissolution of Parliament, and it is my intention I again to request at your hands the honour of being one of your I representatives. " The Queen has been pleased to confide to Lord Melbourne and [ his colleagues the administration of pubiic affairs, and it will be I their duty to give to Her Majesty such advice as may be, in their I judgment, best calculated to fulfil Her Majesty's generous intentions I of maintaining the liberties and improving the laws of the kingdom! which she has been called by Divine Providence to govern. Nor I will Her Majesty expect, in vain from a loyal people that support I which to the Sovereign of a free country is the source of strength, I dignity, and power." The QUEEN has not confided to Lord MELBOURNE audi his colleagues, the administration of affairs. KING WILLIAM! THE FOURTH confided— at least placed the administration of I affairs, in the hands of Lord MELBOURNE aud his colleagues,! because theyr were supported in the House of Commons by [ an overwhelming majority of Papists. The overwhelming I majority of Papists still remaining, the Ministers whom they [ support naturally remain too, and that fact alone must con- 1 vince the electors of Stroud that the advice which they may I consider jt their duty to give to Her MAJESTY, must un- 1 questionably be the best calculated to fulfil Her MAJESTY'S I generous intentions of maintaining the liberties and improving I the laws of the kingdom which she lias been called by Divine | Providence to govern. As Lord JOHN RUSSELL was giving extiacts from Her I MAJESTY'S gracious declaration to the Council ( which in all I probability his Lordship also wrote), he might as well have I favoured his constituents with the following passage which I his Lordship studiously leaves out:— " It will be my unceasing study to maintain the reformed religion as I by law established, securing at the same time to all the fu II enjoyment I of religious liberty; and I shall steadily protect the rights, anil pro- I mote to the utmost of my power, thehappiness ana welfare of all I classes of my subjects." This, perhaps, may appear to the electors of Stroud a| trifling omission— we merely notice it in order to throw alittle I light upon the qualifications which Her MAJESTY'S advisers! think fit to adopt when addressing their constituents. What I we contend for is, that the QUEEN has not confided the | affairs of the empire to Lord MELBOURNE and his colleagues. Her MAJESTY lound them installed, and has not removed | them— perhaps will not; butat present, all we find is a nega- tive acquiescence in the necessity under which his late MA- I JESTY laboured of retaining them so long as the Roman I Catholics supported them in the House of Commons, and the I Conservatives thought proper to uphold them against thel Radicals. My Lord goes on:—- " Since I have had the honour of being elected to serve you in Par- liament, som- i important steps have been taken to improve the ex- isting laws. " By the Act for the Amendment of the Municipal Corporations, I the householders of our towns have obtained that due control over I their own local affaiis, which is agreeable to the spirit of our consti- I tuiion, conlormable to the intention of ancient charters, and duel to their own worth. The session of 1836 was not barren of legislative measures. " The Act for the Commutation of Tithes in England provides I an effectual method for exchanging the vexatious power of taking I a tenth of the produce of the land into regular and fixed payments. I " Thus the landowner and the farmer can improve the soil without I fear of loss, and the Clergy can collect their just incomes, neither I blamed for extortion nor impoverished by forbearance." This is particularly good. His Lordship, hard driven as to I the important steps taken to improve the existing laws, tries I back upon the Session of 1836, which he observes with in- 1 finite satisfaction was not barren of legislative measures, audi in order to prove its fecundity, his Lordship mentions the Actl for the Commutation of Tithes, and somewhat elaborately I describes its merits and advantages; a proof we admit, of his I Lordship's perfect liberality, inasmuch as this admirable Bill I originated with Sir ROBERT PEEL. Ilis Lordship says :— " fn the same session the Protestant Dissenters obtained the right I of solemnizing marriage according to their own forms, and the whole I community gained a general and uniform system of registration for I births, deaths, aud marriages." His Lordship does not add, " and my brother- in- law gained I three thousand a year for having them registered," " In the present session," continues his Lordship, " interrupted as | it has been in its course, and abruptly terminated as it must be, a I considerable mitigation will, I trust, be made in the provisions ofl our statutes relating to capital offences, and some improvement effected I in other departments of the law. " More than this has in fact been obtained. The foundations ham SS33S 320 keen laid for a better, because juster, system of legislation towards I Ireland, and we are no longer told, even by our opponents',- that the nb< olnte denial of municipal corporations to that country is essential > the maintenance of that Protestant Church."

Neither do we see a show of « in to line the streets and flank the procession on the day of the inter- [ promises and performances will considerably enlighten them. Lord JOHN says:—- " In administering the affairs of Ireland yet more efficient progress I has been made. Tranquillity has been maintained by the enforcement lof the ordinary operations of the law, and ( lie unaccustomed blessings I of a vast majority of the people have given vigour to the executive I authority, and strength to the legislative union." If the electors of Stroud swallow this, they are different [ people from what we take tlicm to be. What Lord JOHN I RUSSELL calls maintaining tranquillity by the enforcement Iof the ordinary operations of the law, we know not; but 1 this we know, that, in addition to numerous authorised de- | tails of coeval riots and insurrections in various parts of [ Ireland, we hare before us the Public Hue and Cry of June 117, ila which paper, besides a number of private adver- tisements of a similar character, there are printed and I published no less than twenty Government proclamations I issued from Dublin Castle, signed by the Lieutenant SE- ICRETARY DRUMMOND, offering rewards to the amount of [ eight hundred and ninety pounds for the apprehension ofj [ different persons. NINE of these proclamations are for [ the apprehension of the perpetrators of NINE distinct mur- [ ders; five for the apprehension of all or any of five dif- | ferent gangs of ARMED MEN ( some named as Terry Alts in I the proclamation), varying in numbers from ten to thirty, [ who have attacked different houses, and seized all the fire- [ arms they could lay their hands on ; the remainder of these J official proclamations are for the apprehension of what may [ be considered minor offenders, whose crimes consist in boring Tholes in the bottoms of steam- vessels, setting fire to farms, | ( waylaying and beating Protestants, and destroying their | dwellings. And with all these proclamations published in the [ Government Gazette, forming only a small portion of the ge- Jneral mass of crime and insubordination publicly recorded, iLord JOHN talks triumphantly to the electors of Stroud of, | the maintainance of Irish tranquillity. Having established that point to his entire satisfaction, his [ Lordship asks— [ " Who then, are the persons reckless enough to place themselves [ between the Queen and her snbjects ? intercepting the benefits of a just protection, and chilling the impulse of a grateful loyalty." Tliis is a somewhat incautious question. We hope, for | Lord JOHN'S sake, that the electors of Stroud will not give I him the obyious answer:— It is clear that the persons who [ stand between the QUEEN and her subjects are the QUEEN'S [ Ministers, and so stand constitutionally. Of the " reckless- [ uess" of which his Lordship speaks we are perfectly aware, [ but the admission that they have placed themselves where [ they are satisfies us of the vanity of his Lordship's boast in I the early part of his address, that they have been selected to [ manage the affairs ® f frfio empire. We trust they will not • intercept the benefits of a just protection," whatever that [ means; and we can answer for the loyalty of the people to [ the SOVEREIGN. We do not quite understand what his I Lordship means by " grateful loyalty." TJiat the people are I loyal— truly and constitutionally loyal, we repeat; but as yet, | for all we can see, they have not anything to be particularly ( grateful for. His Lordship says:— " The ctlhduct of those who usually oppose Government has been j I various." That is about the most reasonable line in the whole address; j I it has been various indeed, and if it had not been so, Lord JOHN J I RUSSELL would not be Secretary of State* now. The con- ] | scientiousness and independence of the Conservatives, and the! | nice distinctions they make upon different shades and points in j Iquestions of vital importance, divide their force and weaken!

As far as concerns the Dissenters and Radicals the declaration is decisive:— " I have endeavoured to strengthen our institutions by reforming them; to obtain complete and full liberty for every religious opinion; to give to Ireland the franchises of Great Britain. But in so doing 1 have been cautious not so to innovate as to admit any principle by which our ancient institutions might themselves be endangered ; not so to define religious liberty as to weaken the Established Church ; not so to provide for the wants and wishes of the people of Ireland as to break or disturb the unity of the empire. In this spirit I must I always oppose any propositions for the adoption of an elective House of - Lords, or of the voluntary principle in religion." As the point of the epigram is in its end, as the pith of a lady's letteris in the postscript, and as the strength of the Mi- , nistry is in its tail, so is the climax of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S I declaration very properly to be found in its last paragraph:— j " There is but one subject more to which I shall particularly al- lude, as it has been little discussed in Parliament, I mean the exten- sion of education. The state has in this matter a paramount duty to ^ perform. It was the benevolent wish of George III. that every child S m his dominions might be able to read the Bible. May his illus- J trious descendant see that wish accomplished ! May the diffusion of ^ with the rest of the people, their professional pride was not a little gratified by seeing in possession of the highest dignity in the empire one who hud spent so much of his life on their own element, and who had identified himself with them by a participation in their labours and perils. Ever since the accession of the Sailor King it was im- posibletobe long in the company of a Greenwich veteran without hearing someihing of his Majesty's doings at sea and on shore. Many an anecdote have we heard of His Majesty's early days related with all the enthusiasm of youth by the shattered and battered hulk of some once noble ciaft. With most of these anecdotes the public are familiar, none of them were manifestly apocliryphal, but were told with so evident a belief on the part of the narrator, that while you smiled at the gullibility of poor Jack, you could not but admire his devotion to their object. Few now remain of the late King's contemporaries among the inmates of this noble asylum; the late epidemy thinned their numbei much; but while Greenwich Hospital stands ( and long may it stand), the exploits, both festive and patriotic of the sailor King will be handed down from one race of heroes to another. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. DEATH OF THE MARQUESS OF BATH. — It is with deep regret that we announce the demise of the above respected nobleman, who in his dominions might be able to read the Bible. May hii illus- K^ i .^ A^ lf^ dearedhimselfgreatly trious descendant see that wish accomplished !

" 1 have the honour to be, Gentlemen, " Your obliged and faithful servant, " J. RUSSELL." This last bit, as Mr. O'CONNELL would say, or perhaps ____ „„„. has said of it, " beats Banagher." A Minister, one of a party | Ladv Louisa" LaKcelles," cousin " oflhr'Errl'of" ches^ eTd,"£ ari to the tenants on his estates in Wiltshire. His death took place on Saturday morning, a few minutes before eight o'clock, at his seat Longleat, near Warminster, Wilts. His Lordship was born the 24th May. 1797, and married on the 19th April, 1830. the Hon. Miss Harriet Baring, daughter of Lord Ashburton, by whom he has a family of four children. He succeeded his father, the second Mar- quess, on the 27th of March last. His Lordship was a Captain in the royal navy. His family connexions are very distinguished, being a brother to the Rev. Lord John Thynne, Lord Edward Thynne, Lady Caroline Thynne, Duchess of Buccleuch, Countess of Cawdor, His Lordships says:- " The Duke of Wellington raising himself above parly views, has I supported the Poor Law Amendment Act with a fearlessness and fjincerity which have been littls imitated by the mass of hi3 party. I In the House of Commons thaihief effort or the so- called Conserva- Itives has been directed ( vainly J affix a mark of dishonour on their I countrymen gallantly cont^ iiditlg- in arms in a foreign land. Iu the • country their adherents, have' been dishonestly e, ctive in sowing the I seeds of religious intolerance and national discord." To be able to tell the electors of Stroud that the Duke of ^ WELLINGTON has approved- in any degree of any of their { pleasures, we admit is a Wtimph, and gives a weight and [ respectability to the address which it stood in need of. As to I" affixing a mark of dishonour" upon the British Legion, [ nobody ever attempted any such thing. It is true the British ( Legion once ran away, and they were perfectly right, inas- Inutch as they were beaten, and could not stand any longer. I Nobody in England ever impeached the gallantry of its [ officers; but the main fact which' seems to us to justify [ every remark which may have been made upon the enter- prise itself, its undertaking and conduct, is. that during the ifast two years, 15,000 Britons have entered the Legion, Ithat the remains of the Legion are exactly where the Le- I'gioii was two years since, and that those remains do 1 not exceed now three thousand men. If this calculation be ( correct, we must admit that the loss of twelve thousand I lives in an unsuccessful undertaking, now positively and [ finally abandoned by its leader, whose persevering activity [ and unwearying gallantry nobody questions, is not a subject [ of congratulation to the country, nor, as we should suppose, of [ any very peculiar satisfaction to the Noble Viscount who was [ its originator, protector, and patron. As for sowing the seeds of religious intolerance in Spain, the electors of Stroud ( will make what they can out of that, considering that the [ Spani.- h people are universally Roman Catholics, and that he [ who is the best Roman Catholic is the best Spaniard. Surely I Lard JOHN RI) SSELL does not venture to couple Popery and ( intolerance. Lord JOHN RUSSELL next says:— " The future Parliament will have to consider many arduous and I weighty matters." I This piece of information will be, no doubt, invaluable to [ the electors oi Stroud— a truism now and then is a jewel— iti | nevertheless reminds us of the fool in As You like it— " And then he drew a dial from his poke,' And looking on it, with lack- lustre eye, Says very wisely, ' It is ten o'clock. Thus we may see,' quoth he,' how the world wags ' Tis but an hour ago since it was nine, And alter an h ur more ' twill be eleven.'" Not quite so simple is the doubt so generously and so loyally conveyed in the next supported, upheld, and moreover directed, ordered and com- manded by a body of Roman Catholics, upon whose smile they exist, and by whose votes alone they remain Ministers, talking of the general dissemination of the Scriptures at the very moment when Bible- burning in Ireland is looked upon as a pious duty, and the Priests are denouncing to utter per- dition by bell, book, and candle, every poor wretch who permits her child to open the sacred volume. The electors of Stroud are men too enlightened not to re- ceive this address as it ought to be received. Thanks to the purifying character of the Reform Bill, we believe they must return the Noble Lord. The fact of their having already done so makes us think this to be the case— we may be mistaken. All we hope is, that they willgive his Lordship the fullbenefitof his literary talent, which enables his Lordship so perspicuously to set forth the number and variety of his Lordship's statesman- like qualities. WE have been highly delighted with a portrait of Her MAJESTY, engraved by Mr. LANE, after a drawing made by Mr. LEWIS ex- pressly for her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT. It is deli- cately beautiful as a likeness, and admirably executed as a work of art. To those who look at the Illustrious Personage herself with hearts full of confidence and loyalty, this elegant transcript of her features must be truly valuable— through all the grace and fresh- ness of youthful beaut)', there beams in the countenance a thought- fulness suited to her station, and on the brow is marked the strength of mind and firmness of purpose which in times like these are to be the safeguard and protection of her loyal people. The sale of this ikeness is likely to be prodigious. " The settlement of the FUNERAL OF HIS LATE MAJESTY. The workmen commenced their labours on Friday in the quadrangle of the Castle. The uprights at the doorway, through which entrance is obtained into the Waterloo Chamber, were erected at an early hour; and since that time every effort has been used to accelerate the construction of the platform from that place to the Norman gateway, where it meets that part of the plat- form which the carpenters have already completed. The erection of the galleries in the north aisle of St. George's Chapel has also been begun. They are not to be quite so high as the galleries erected for the funeral of George IV., but they will be broader, and it is cal- culated will hold a greater number of spectators. Seats will be placed on these for the public, and the whole will be covered with black cloth. It is intended to commence fastening the festoons of black drapery on the platform on Monday morning, and though 10,000 yards of cloth will be used for that purpose, it is expected that it will not be a task of very long continuance. The remains of His Majesty are finally closed up ; and the state coffin arrived at the Castle last night. It is covered with royal gar- ter blue velvet, with chased ornaments, and the Crown and Royal arms richly emblazoned. The funeral will take place on Saturday, the 8th of July, at six o'clock in the afternoon. The body will lie in State in the Waterloo Chamber, and the public will be admitted through the grand entrance under the Clock Tower. The funeral • will be conducted in all respects similar to that of his late Majesfy, George the Fourth. About 7,000 tickets will be printed for distri- bution to view the procession from the Castle- yard. As yet no steps have been taken preparatory to the opening of the Royal tomb, and it is understood that without a written order from one of the high Officers of Sta, te the marble pavement which covers it cannot be disturbed. This order is not expected to arrive before the middle of next week; nor is it yet wanted, since the diamond pave- ment of the choir can be taken up immediately; and there is not much difficulty in removing the Portland stone which closes the entrance to the Royal cemetery. The entrance is under the steps leading to the communion- table in St. George's Chapel, and it corn- next paragraph: mnnicates by a short passage with the Royal tomb.

ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.— The ordinary meeting was held on Tuesday I evening, Mr. Thomas Bell, F. R. S., in the chair. Mr. Gray exhibited I a species of fox from South America, particularly to no: ice a I sebaceous glandular structure in the tail, by which the colour on the I tail was affected, and remarked thereon that such glands might form I good generic characters. Mr. Ogilby remarked that it was not im- | possible that similar glands might be concealed in the brush of the I common fox, and Dr. A. Smith observed that the same existed in two I different species of South African foxes. Mr. Ogilby described two I new apes from India analogous with those called by Linnfeus JSimia | Larga. The nose was as prominent as that of the African negro, and I the formation of the anterior portion of the skull was also very good. I It was evident that these apes were the pygmies described by Pliny I in his natural history, who said that they had dog's teeth. The | characters of another race evidently refer to the ouran outan, which Jhe says are wild men with enormously long feet, about a cubit in • length, who live in trees. Dr. Andpw Smith likewise described I several new species of animals from South Africa; after which the I meeting adjourned. THEATRES. HAYMARKET.— All praise and honour to the great tragedian and I the great dramatist of the day, for their restoration to the stage of I one of the healthiest and most vigorous productions of the golden age ! of the drama. SHERIDAN KNOWLES has proved himself worthy of a Iseat with the rare spirits of the Mermaid; he is their genuine fol- I lower, at least, and lias caught the " air inform with wit" from their j high converse, which we are told would so fill the room wherein they I sat with subtle thoughts, as to kindle into life two or three companies | of the duller sons of clay who might succeed them:— " What things have we seen Done at the Mermaid! • • • * Wit that might warrant be For the whole city to talk foolishly ' Till that were cancell'd; and when that was gone, We left an air behind us which alone Was able to make the two next companies Right wittythough but downright foo! s, mere wise." | Aud MACREADY has added to his art a new character, but of antique I stamp, wherein the workmanship excels even the precious material I of which it is composed. It will be handed down as another test of I the future tragedian. The Bridal, brought out at this theatre on Monday evening, is an [ adaptation of BEAUMONT and FLETCHER'S Maid's Tragedy. Of the 1 numerous plays, the joint production of that honoured partnership, I this, and their I'hilaster were originally the most popular, and have j since been reproduced from time to time. WALLER tried his poetic I hand, and re wrote the fifth act of the Maid's Tragedy in rhyme, I according to the taste of the day; but neither the matter nor the I manner of which would be tolerated at present. In one form or I other it has been reprinted, separately, eight or nine times, and the I part of Melantius was an established favourite with the public in the I hands of the celebrated BETTERTON. Since his time, however, that lis, for upwards of a century, this beautiful play has been almost lost 1 to the stage. But MACREADY has vindicated its right to popular ac- I claim, and whilst thus furthering the true interests of the drama, | has added another laurel to his own wreath. It is hardly necessary to state that most of our old plays require I considerable changes to adapt them forpreseDt representation, or that I of all our elder dramatists BEAUMONT and FLETCHER are those of whom I a castigated edition wonld least rouse our bile. They were fine gentle- | men—" men about town"— as well as true and fervent poets; and, of some grief, and wrings the truth from him. Melantius at once resolves to avenge his friend and the injured honour of his family; and, in the fourth act, he taxes Evadne with her crime, who, at first, retorts threat for threat, but at length terrified by the menaces of her brother, appalled by his remonstrances, and excited by his noble rage to a deep sense of her own shameless- ness, she vows to effect the King's death. The fifth act brings with it the re- appearance of Aspatia, in man's attire. Giving herself out to be a brother of Aspatia's, she seeks an interview with Amintor, upbraids him with his falsehood, provokes him to combat, and so effects her sole wish, which is to die by the hand of him who yet has her heart, and who has already murdered her happiness. Immedi- ately on her falling by his sword, Evadne comes on and apprises Amintor of the King's death by her hand, when, finding that such is Amintor's loyalty he regards her with redoubled loathing on ac- couut of this deed, she kills herself. Amintor discovering that,- it is Aspatia whom he has slain, consummates the tragedy by falling on his sword. One of the most effective scenes in the play, as originally written, is the death of the King. Evadne enters the chamber where he is expecting her, and finding him buried in sleep, she secures his hands to the bed- posts, awakens him, upbraids him with the infamy he has brought upon her, and finally gluts her vengeance by coolly stabbing him. It is manifest that this scene could hardly be introduced on the modern stage. The principal care of the adapter then has been to prtserve and re- arrange as much, hut to blot out as little as possible. It seemed necessary in order to raise Amintor in the estimation of the audience, to create a motive of more weight than a loyalty and liege faith, now no longer understood, for his desertion of Aspatia. This has been effected by making the monarch, although he still in- trigues with Evadne, yet really in love with Aspatia; and it is to break down the stubborn virtue ofthe latter that he detaches Amintor from her by throwing out calumnies against her reputation. This expedient was, perhaps, the only one our new poet could resort to; but it is a pity, as it interferes with the utter loneliness and destitu- tion in which Aspatia is shrouded bythetwin fancies that created her. It is a blot, though a passing and imaginary one, on her vestal purity, which the readers of BEAUMONT and FLETCHER will sigh over. The old poets too prepared the way for her appearance in male attire, with more skill than the adapter. Melantius casually mentions that he has left with his army a brother of Aspatia's so like to her that they might have been " twinned at a birth." As the play now stands, Aspatia, on taking a solemn farewell of Amintor, recommends to His care a young brother of hers, and forthwith comes on as the said brother, and is ever with Amintor as his page. The disguise which, in the first instance, was so managed as_ to be within the bounds of probability, is now almost without those of possibility. The other alterations have been made, we will not say with more taste, for maybe those just specified were indispen- sable, but less at the expense of the original: nay, this is but gold, we ought to say to its advantage rather. They are mainly in the two last acts ; indeed, the last is nearly wholly re- written. A very spirited scene closes the fourth act, in which Melantius makes an unsuccessful attempt on the King's life. This scene is well- con- ceived, and removes at once a great deal of useless plotting and ma- noeuvring, which defaces the original. The fifth opens with what we may term a scena by Evadne, in the anti- room of the rova bedchamber, after which she steals off to do the , murder; and it ter- minates in the prison to which Melantius has been hurried after his attempt on the King. Just as the warrior is about to give battle, " naked and unarmed" as he is, to a crew of ruffians sent in to exe- cute him, Evadne rushes on. The sight of the King's signet, which she has taken from the murdered man, is warranty sufficient for the qrrest of the execution. A highly wrought interview follows be' tween the brother and sister, which is brought to a close by Evadne's stabbing herself, that by not outliving her honour she may so win back her brother's perfect esteem; the other chief characters of the drama hurry in with t dings of the commencement of a new reign, and pardon of all offences. We are given to understand that Amin- tor and Aspatia will eventually be united; and the curtain falls on Melantius's wild lamentations over his sister's body. The above are the main changes; the minor ones, rendered neces- sary by the altered taste of the times, are too numerous for mention in a hurried critique. Suffice it to say, that they are mostly in good keeping, and that the play constitutes an harmonious whole, in which old and new co- mingle " rightmelodiously." The language of the recent poet, too, bespeaks his descent from the giants of the olden time. It is, in the main, as sterling, and as replete with lofty and sweet poelry as theirs, and if, occasionally, there may peep forth a little of what Parson EVANS terms " affectations," yet altogether there is " a wonderful consimilarity of phansy" between the elder bards and our noble living one. The acting was throughout good, and much of it was perfect. The Melantius of MACREADY is a magnificent embodying of soldierly honour, manly tenderness, and lofty passion. A finer proof of the ail which the actor's art lends to the dramatist cannot be given, than the removal by its means of one of the most visible defects of the play— the sudden change of Evadne from a hardened ambition to a womanly repentance— which, in the acting, seems a necessary con- • equence of the all- absorbing and commanding rage of Melantius. It is a strong character, broken to atoms as a potsherd, by a stronger; a stony selfishness, quickened and quailing before majesty of purpose. Innumerable as are the passages we might cite, in which the light to notice the acting of a part of some six lines long ? We allude to the gaoler, played by we know not whom, for the character is specified in the bills by some proper name, which we could not catch in the representation. The demeanour of this gentleman, however, was so consonant with the feelings of the moment, and his delivery of the said few lines so simple and natural, that he deserved a round of ap- plause which he did not get, but has thus secured our commendation which is no bad substitute we hope. The costume of the characters was unpoetic in the extreme; which, seeing that there is no particular epoch marked in the piece, and the dresses might be made as picturesque as. it is imaginative, is an oversight. We will except the wide, hanging sleeves of Miss TAYLOR'S page's dress, which liked us in their cut well, and MACREA DY'S martial habiliments and appearance. One favour we beg; that a hurdy- gurdy, or bagpipes, may i eplace the iutolerablesounds which proceeded from the performers of the masque. We have entertained this subject at some length, to the exclusion of other dramatic matters which yet " touch us nearly," though not so near as this. A magnificent production from the pens of those lesser SHAKSPEARES, of whom, lesser though they be, Greece in her palmiest days would have been proud, has# been restored to us in all her trim. A noble vessel has been buoyed up, and is now " tight, and yare, and bravely rigged, as when first put out to sea." We feel justly proud of our primeval dramatic literature as unequalled by that of any age or country; and, as true Englishmen, hail with j y this auspicious attempt at its revival. We do not praise; we thank those who have just stepped forward to bring to light but one gem out of the rich mines which have been left unwrought for years. ' Tis bravely done; and we exclaim with the vates of old — favete Unguis. and shadows of life were blended with a master's hand, we OOK ON THIS PICTURE AND ON THIS.— On the prospect of a con- I tested election for Nottingham, the Rev.

Butler, of that town, I from a laudable anxiety to benefit the distressed operatives aud pro- I mote peace, submitted a proposition to the Conservatives and I Liberals, ' that the triends of eacli party should select a candidate,! and each subscribe 5001: to the ' Relief Fund.' " Notwithstanding I that the Conservative Committee had made arrangements for pre- I sentiugtwo candidates to the electors of Nottingham, yet they felt it I their duty to offer no opposition to so charitable a uroposal. The; r j opponents after " consult due," rejected it; and by their most I illiberal rejection, have opened the way for the return of both the I Conservative candidates, aud secured ihe approbation of all liberal [ men.— Nottingham Journal. NORFOLK and SUFFOLK.— Edmond Woodhouse, Esq., again offers J himseb as a candidate for the representation of the eastern division I ofthe county, and the announced retirement of Lord Walpole opens | a vacancy for the same division, which will probably be filled up by [ H. N. Burroughes, Esq., a gentleman largely connected with the I landed interest, and like Mr. Woodhonse, a staunch Conserva'tive. I Mr. Windham is the Ministerial candidate.— In West Norfolk, the I Conservative candidates, Messrs. Ba.' ge and Shute, are on the alert, r followint' up a previously successful canvass.— Lord Henniker and Sir I Charles Vere, the present loyal representatives, are considered per-| fectly secure in East Suffolk.— Lord George Bentinck and Sir Strat- j ford Canning will doubtless be returned again for Lynn, although j the Hon. Major Keppel has issued an address to the electors, soli- 1 citing their support as a friend of the present Ministry.— Mr. I Morrison retires from the representation of Ipswich, Mr. Kelly and [ Mr. Gibson are the candidates in the Conservative interesi. As! Mr. Wason is left alone in the liberal cause, we cannot, after what | has occurred, expect much of a fight from that quarter.— At Thet- I ford we do not learn that there is likely to be any alteration ; Lord! Euston, the Ministerial, < md Mr. Baring, the Conservative repre- 1 sentative, will, we believe, be re- elected.— We understand that W. I J.

LINCOLN ELECTION.— Here all parties are on the move ; the Con- 1 servatives are nobly doing their duty, and everything bids fair for a I glorious triumph of constitutional principles in Lincoln. A meeting I of the friends of the Conservative cause was held on Monday last, [ at the City Arms Hotel, when the large room of that inn was lite- I rally crammed, there being upwards of 300 freemen and electors I present, who evinced their determination to carry out t! ie principles I of Conservatism. Colonel Sibthorp and Mr. Ellis have already taken | the field, and their canvass has been most successful, aud leaves no I doubt as to the issue. Never was Radicalism at a lower ebb in Lin- J coin, nor its minions held in such detestation as at present; audi j on the contrary, never was the zeal for Conservatism more live y I than now, and we venture to predict that the Conservative majority, I though great at the last election, will be considerably augmented at I the next. LINCOLNSHIRE.— A pitiful effort has been made by the Radicals I to take advantage of the unavoidable absence of Lord Lincoln, who J is now in Paris attending nn his sick lady, Sy intimating that he 131 not anxious to be re- elected. An occasion which ought to command I the sympathy even of an enemy, is laid ho} d of by those sneaking I politicians to inflict a dastardly but impotent blow. The inuendo, I however, is amply disproved by the following circular, addressed to I the electors by his Lordship's agent, W.. E. Tallents, Esq., imme- I diately after the Earl's departure :— The Earl of Lincoln having I been called to the Continent by the continuance of Lady Lincoln's I lamented indisposition, I take the liberty ( lest he should be pre- I vented by unavoidable circumstances from immediately appearing I among his constituents), to solicit the favour of your vote aud inte- I rest for his Lordship, at the next election for the southern division ofl this county."— Nottingham Journal.— Mr. Corbetl retires from the! representation of North Lincolnshire, a circumstance which will not I excite much regret, especially as he will be succeeded by Mr. R.

Maniters Sutton have completed a very successful can- ' for this horough ( Cambridge); and we are now enabled to say most ftifitworthy information that their opponents, Mr. "" Mr. Pry me can have no chance whatever of being again returned. For the borough of Huntingdon, the present Members, Colonel Peel and Sir Frederick Pollock will again offer themselves, and will most likely be returned without opposition. Mr. Surtees ( Conservative) as well as Sir R. Heron and Mr. Faza- kerley, have been canvassing the electorsof this town ( Peterborough) during the last few days. Mr. S.' s friends are very sanguine as to the result.— Cambridge Chronicle. BEVERLEY, YORKSHIRE.— Mr. J. Weir Hogg, our popular and ex- cellent representative, is again in the field as a candidate. Of his success no one pretends to doubt. His high ability and admirable conduct have secured to him an overwhelming host of supporters. Not so poor Captain Burton. Alas ! he retires. In spite of his purity and patriotism he has had to pay so much for the use of the whistle, that he no longer desires to be the piper. Another candi- date has appeared in the person of Mr. Gilyatt Sumner, a town- councillor, who, if he continue in his present facetious humour, mav run a neck and neck race with Mr. Hayworth. They are we'll matched, but not for the Beverley course.— Hull Packet. LEICESTERSHIRE.— Leicestershire, we have no hesitation in saying, will nobly do its duty. Both town and county will return men of sound loyalty and patriotism— men ever ready to defend the rights and privileges of all— who will hold alike sacred the prerogatives of the Crown, the property of the Church, and the rights and privileges ot" the peo pie. VV e nave no wish to excite misplaced confidence, but we sincerely believe the enemy will not even show in the southern divi- sion ; the northern division will not again be deluded by Jesuitism; and, in the borough, if our excellent representatives, Messrs. Goul- bnrn and Gladstone, are opposed, the object can only be to keep alive, if possible, the expiring hopes of the opposing faction.— Leicester Journal. OXFORDSHIRE.— Lord Norreys commenced a canvass here ( Ban bury) on Thursday. Mr. Tancred, for the borough, has issued an address, but, as yet, we hear of no opponent. With respect to the county, we know of but one feeling among those who have any claim to be called Englishmen or Protestants ; and we have no doubt that an overwhelming majority of the electors in thwseparts will enrol them- selves for H arcourt, Weyland, and Norreys. Let Oxfordshire still have the honour of returning to Parliament ( except from the close boroughs) not one Representative who holds Papist or Republican sentiments. We have since learned that at a meeting held on Thurs- day evening, it was resolved to invite Mr. Henry Tawney, of this place, banker, to come forward for the borough, in opposition to Mr. Tancred. Mr. Tawney filled the office of Mayor fit the last elec- tion, and also that of Alderman and Magistrate in the old Corpora- tion, to the satisfaction of all parties. W. J. Blackstone, Esq., again comes forward, in the Conservative interest, for Wallingford ; and D. Maclean and W. H, Hughes, Esqs., for Oxford.— Oxford Herald. ESSEX.— Mr. Bramston and Mr. Palmer have announced their in- tention of again standing foi South Essex; and Mr. Branfill is again to be made the cat's- paw of the Radicals of this division of the county. A requisition, respectably and numerously signed, has been addressed to Jobn Round, Esq., of Danbury Park, by the Conserva- tives of Maldon. inviting that gentleman to come forward, in con- junction with Quinlin Dick, Esq., at the ensuing general election. As the Maldon Conservatives are confident in their power to return two supporters of the Constitution, we hope that Mr. Round, who is deservedly popular among them, will yield to their wishes, and im- mediately take the field. On Monday last a meeting of the Maldon si Self- Defence Club was held, Mr. Charles Hurrell in the chair. A correspondent informs lis that the meeting was animated by the de- termination to make every effort to rescue the Borough from the stigma of harbouring the remnant of the Radical faction represented by Mr. Leonard. Edward Barnes, Esq., has issued an address to the electors of the borough of Sudbury, offering himself as their Conservative represen- tative for the third " time; and Sir G. H. Smyth, Bart., and Mr. Snn- derson, the tried friends of the Throne and Altar, again stand for Colchester.— Essex Standard. * BIRMINGHAM ELECION.— A meeting of the electors of this borough, convened bv circular, took place on Tuesday at the Assembly rooms, Dee's Royal Hotel, tomeetA. G. Stapleton, Esq., formerlv Secretary to Mr. Canning, and hear him stute his political opinions. Many gen- tlemen of liberal principles, and a host of highly respectable and in fiuential Conservatives were present. James Taylor, Esq., was voted to the chair, and introduced Mr. Stapleton to the meeting by a manly and appropriate speech, at the conclusion of which the lat'er gentlemen explained his political sentiments at length, and entered into a lucid and statesman- like view of our political and mercantile relations. Several questions were then put to him by some Dissent- ers present, which he answered in the most candid manner, showing that he would condescend to no subterfuge for the purpose of entrap- ing the votes of any party. Mr. Spooner ( Mr. At. twood's partner) next came forward to propose ttie following resolution :—" That Mr. Stapleton, as well by these opinions, as by his distinguished talents ana great experience in public affairs, is eminently qualified to re- present in Parliament the interests of this great manufacturing and commercial fown, and that he is, therefore, a fit and proper person to be putin nomination for this, borough at the ensuing general election." which was put and carried; nxid thanks having been voted to the chairman, nine cheers weVe given for the success of Mr. Stapleton, and the meeti ig broke up. On the following day Mr. Stapletou pub- lished a terse and energetic ftddress to the electors, in which he avows himself " a warm supporter of the Constitution, a resolute defender of the poor man's Churqh, $ nd, consequently, a true man of the people." Birmingham can no longer tolerate the imbecility ot her present Members, and is determined to confide her interests to en- lightened and upright keeping.— Abridged from the Birmingham Advertiser. ELECTIONEERING MOVEMENTSIN KENT— Twonew candidates have constituents. JOHN BULL. ship has addressed the electors, but has not pledged himself, or in any way adverted to any specific measures which he will bring for- ward for support. This arrangement, it is said, has been made by the Reformers ot the borough, at a meeting held by them on Monday. BEDFORD.— Lord Alford has addressed the electors. BERWICK- UPON- TWEED.— Sir Rufane Donkin stands again. BRIGHTON.— Captain Pechell and Mr. Wigney will offer them- selves again. BOSTON.— At Boston there will be a strong opposition to Mr, John Wilks.

CHICHESTER.— Mr. John Abel Smith will again offer himself. CLITHEROE.— It is stated that one of the sons of the late Jonathan Peel, Esq., of Accringtoo, is likely to contest this borough with Mr, Fort, the present Member. COVENTRY.— Mr. Thomas will again come forward. DEVISES.— Captain Dundas, it is reported, is going to try his luck elsewhere, in which case a Conservative may be looked upon as certain. GLAMORGANSHIRE.— Mr. Dillwyn retires. GRANTHAM.— The Liberals have not yet mustered courage to get up an opposition to the silting Members, Mr. Tollemache and Mr, Earle Welby. GRIMSBY.— The Lincoln papers say that Mr. Heneage will retain his seat without opposition. HASTINGS.— Mr. Holland stands in the room of Mr. Elphinstone, who goes to Liverpool. The present Member, Mr. North, again offers himself. Mr. Planta and Mr. Brisco are also candidates. HORSHAM.— Mr. Broadwood opposes Mr. Hurst. KNARESBORUGH.— Mr. Richards has publicly addressed his consti- tuents, and informs them that he has no intention of soliciting their suffrages at the general election. LANCASHIRE ( SOUTH).— Mr. Charles P. Grenfell, having declined to offer himself for South Lancashire, 011 account of the ill state of his health, Mr. Edward Stanley, of Cross Hall, Lancashire, has been applied to, and will be brought forward 011 the Reform interest. LANCASTER.— Mr. Stewart retires. LEWIS.— Mr. Fitzroy is safe. Sir Charles Blunt has offered him- self, nnd the Radicals, it is said, intend to bring forward, if they can get him, Mr. Brand, son of General Trevor. It is uncertain whe- ther the Conservatives will apply to Captain Lyon as a second can- didate. LIN DSLv.— Mr. Christopher has declared himself a candidate upon Conservative principles. LIVERPOOL. — Lord Sandon and Sir Howard Douglas will go hand in hand. The address of Mr. Elphinstone appears upon the walls, but that of Mr. Ewartis to come. LUDLOW.— Lord Clive and Mr. Charlton will be opposed by Col. Sal way and Captain Forbes, on the liberal interest.— Wolverhampton C/ ironicle. MAIDSTONE.— Mr. Robarts retires. MAI. DON.— Mr. Lennatd does not retire. NEWCASTLE- UNDER LYNE.— Mr. Ayshford Wise is announced. RYE.— Captain Monypenny is canvassing in opposition to the sit- ting Member Major Curteis. STAFFORD TOWN.— Mr. R. Farrand with Captain Chetwynd, stand on the Conservative, an! Mr. Blount on the Liberal interest. SUNDERLAND.— Mr. Whyte, the present Mayor, comes forward against Alderman Thompson and David Barclay, the sitting Mem- b,- rs. SURREY ( WEST).— Mr. Barclay retires, and the Hon. Captain Per- ceval puts up in his room. Mr. Denison is also a candidate. SUSSEX ( HAST).— An opposition to the sitting Members, Messrs. Curteis and Cavendish, whose opinions are not in accordance with the farmers, is spoken of in the person of Lord Cautelupe, son of the Earl de la U'arr. SUSSEX ( WEST).— There is every prospect at present of Lord George Lennox and the Earl of Surrey being returned without op- position. WALLINGFORD.— Mr. Eyston will oppose Mr. Blackstone, the pre- sent Conservative Member. WARWICKSHIRE { NORTH).— We hear of no opposition to the return Mr. Dugdale and Sir E. Wilmot. WINDSOR.— Sir John de Beauvoir has issued a placard announcing himself as a candidate. Mr. Ramsbottom and Sir John Elley are also up. • YORK.— Mr. Setjeant Atcherly will be brought forward in conjunc- tion with Mr. Lowtlier, against Mr. Dundas and Mr. Barkley. IRELAND. ANTRIM COUNTY.— Mr. Irving is n candidate. ARMAGH.— There are rumours of an opposition against Colonel Verner. It is said that a Ministerial candidate is to be started in coalition with Lord Acheson, with the joint support of Lord Gosford, Lord Charlemont, and Mr. Brownlow. BELFAST.— Mr. Emerson Tenant and Mr. Dunbar have addressed the electors. COLERAINE.— Mr. Alderman Copeland retires, and Mr. Litton, Conservative, starts against Mr. Alexander. KILDARE.— Mr. Ruthven itis believed will retire, and the Hon. J. Ponsonby will come forward with Mr. More O'Ferrall. Mr. Barton, a Conservative, is also talked of. LONDONDERRY.— Sir R. Fergusson will be opposed by Mr. G. R. Dawson. LONGFORD COUNTY.— Mr. H. B. W. Slater, of Whitehill House, has addressed the electors. MAYO.— Sir W. J. Brabazon has again solicited the support of his July 2 started for the city in the Conservative interest— the one, II. Plump- tre Gipps, Esq., the other, James Bradshaw, Esq. They are t o be opposed by Lord Albert Conyngham, and by Mr. Villers. jo West Kent, Sir W. Geary, Mr. Hodges, nnd Sir Edmund Filnjer, have taken the field. The address of the two Ho- nourable Baronets breathe nothing but . the highest confidence of success : while that of poor Mr. Hodges is evidently written under the trembling anticipation of not being wanted.— Mr. T. T. Hodges, having picked a quarrel with his Rochester constituents, does not mean to let them reject him. He will be succeeded, we hear, by J. S. Douglas, Esq., of Chilstone Park, a staunch Conservative.— Chatham will have no contest.— Sir B. W. Bridges, a genuine Englishman, will meet Sir T. Troubridge at Sandwich, and give a good account of him.— At Dover, Mr. Fector and Sir J. R. Reid, are to contest their seats with Edward Rice, Esq., of Dane Court, nnd, it is said, with Major Torrens ! The former is actually in the field ; of the latter we have only the rumour of his coming. Now, Mr. Fector and Sir J. R. Reid are too verv efficient representatives, and two very good Conservatives into the bargain; and as we are always for leaving well alone, we cannot wish success to Mr. Rice.— H. vthe, we believe, is not to be gobbled up, this time, by the young Lord who caught it when it fell from Mr. Marjoribanks, a few weeks ago. It was not worth while to make a stir then, for reasons which have since manifested themselves; the case is altered now, and we hear that the Conservatives of Hythe and Folkestone are not idle. The editor of the Gazette of Tuesday last states that " Sir Edward Brakenbury will offer himself as a candidate for Lincoln, and that he was expected in the course of that day."— Now we think the editor well knew when he wrote this that Sir Edward had 110 such thoughts, and also that he ( Sir Edward) stated to the liberal party some time ago that he could not accept their invitation from the fact that there was no chance whatever of liberalism in Lincoln.—[ Has the liberal society got another long bill on somewhere that they wish their can- didate to pay ?] THE PLEDGE, THE PLEDGE, THE WHOLE HOG !— Colonel Salwey and Captain Forbes, R. N., were introduced to a hole- and- corner meeting in Ludlow, as candidates for any future election. These gentlemen both undertake to support Ministers " IN EVERY MEASURE PROPOSED BY THEM." Polite gentlemen ! Verily the force of Libe- ralism can no farther go Lincoln Chronicle. GENERAL ELECTION. ARUNDEL.— Lord Fitzalan stands for this borough. AYLESBURY.— It is stated that the Reform candidates, Mr., Hob- house and Dr. Lee, will retire in favour of Lord Nugent. His Lord- QUEEN'S COUNTY.— Mr. J. W. Fitzpatrick has addressed the elec- tors of the Queen's County on the Liberal interest. WICKLOW. — Lord Wirklow and the Tories there intend to oppose Mr. James Grattau.— Dublin Post. WATERFORD.— Sir R. Musgrave has signified to the electors that in consequence of ill- health he will not again become a candidate. SCOTLAND. In the city of Edinburgh we do not anticipate any change. In the county the contest will be severe. PE'EBLES- SH IRE.— There is a strong probability of Mr. Mackenzie being successful. LINLITHGOWSHIRE.— The Tory party have great strength here. The influence of the Hopes, from property, is immense.— Edinburgh Observer. The Conservatives have commenced a keen nnd active canvass of the Lower Ward of Renfrewshire, on behalf of the present Member. Glasgow Chronicle. Mr. John Maxwell will be brought forword for Lanarkshire again. AYRSHIRE.— Sir Charles Lamb will oppose the present Minis^ rial Member, Mr.* Dunlop, of Dnnlop. HADDINGTONSHIRE.— Mr. Fergusson, of Raith, has once more an- nounced himself. PERTH. — Mr. Oliphant puts up no more. ROXBURGHSHIRE.— Mr. Scott has addressed the Conservative elec- tors of this county. occupied the vice- chair. Many loyal and appropriate toasts werel drunk with the utmost enthusiasm, and the meeting was addressed! by J. E. Norris, Esq., F. W. Cronhelm, Esq., Charles Edwards, Esq., I George Pollard, jun., Esq., Mr. Thomas Hainsworth, Mr. Robson, I Mr. Ashworth, < fcc. Several new members were proposed and en- I rolled during the evening, and the meeting concluded by singing I for the last time, as the event has proved, the national anthem on f be half of King William the Fourth. FINSBURY.— Although silent in its operations, the Borough ofl Finsbury Conservative Association is not inactive. The registry has 1 been closely looked to, and means adopted to check the system of] sheer legerdemain, which was adopted on the last election, by par- I ties voting who had long since quitted the premises for which they J claimed to vote. Thursday evening one of the district Conservative I Associations met together at the Crown Tavern, on Clerkenwell- I green, and the report of the Secretary, Mr. T. Peinella, on the in- 1 creased numbers and prospects of the society was hailed with the ! warmest congratulations. The return of Serjeant Spankie on the- 1 next election is looked upon as certain. THE MARQUESS- OF HERTFORD.— At the commencement of the- l winter, we had the gratification of stating that his Lordship - had I ordered several hundreds of blankets to be distributed amongst the- l tenants upon his estate. At the same time he gave employment to a | great number in draining and reclaiming waste lands, ana hundreds I of distressed weavers and labourers are at present earning, upon the I estate of his Lordship, in different parishes, a comfortable support. I In addition to the aid which is thns benevolently afforded, his Lord- I ship has placed 4001. in the hands of his agent to be distributed I amongst those who are unable, from infirmity or age, to procure the g sustenance which they require in this season of unparalleled trial. In I recording these instances of munificent liberality, we are only doing I an act of justice to the noble Marquess, though his uniform kindn - ss I to his numerous tenantry renders this testimony to his high character, I as a landlord, superfluous.— Ulster Times. Lord Brougham denied " that the Poor Law Commissioners had L any power to confine people in the workhouse, nor could any person I be so confined." The meaning of which is, that the poor old 1 creature may, if he or she will, turn out and die in the next ditch. It I might just as well be said that there is no power to imprison a J debtor. The unfortunate person who comes under that designation, [ has only to satisfy all demands, ana he may leave prison whenever j he pleases. The slight difficulty is that he has not the money. He | cannot pay his debts; and the pauper cannot purchase food. So in I the one case we have imprisonment for debt, and in the other impri- 1 sonment for poverty. The debtor may walk abroad . safely on Sun- 1 day; therein he has the advantage of the pauper, whose confinements knows no Sabbath.— Evening paper. The following notice was issued at the Bank on Thursday:— " The Governor and Company of the Bank of England do hereby I give notice, that the advances, in pursuance of their notice of the 1st I instant, on bills of exchange not having more than 95 days to run, I will be extended to bills of exchange not having more than six months I to run; such advances to be repaid on or before the 15th of July! next, with interest at the rate or five per cent, per annum, and to be I for sums of not less than 2,0001. each. " Bank of England, June 29,1837." ST. PANCRAS.— A vestry meeting was held on Wednesday, at which I the members of this multifarious board assembled pretty strongly, I the main object of the meeting being to confirm a previous resolu- l tion for the dismissal of Mr. Wortal], the poor- rate collector— the I head and front of the latter gentleman's offence being the acceptance I of an office under the provisions of the New Poor Law Act, which I office some of the mighty democrats of the vestry had intended for al friend— hence the services of this indefatigable individual, are lost to I the parish, and the situation will be filled by a Radical nominee; one! of the hangers on of the vestry. After the above business was con- I eluded, an address of condolence to her Majesty the Queen Dowager! was moved, and also one of congratulation to her present Majesty I Victoria— both were agreed to, and a committee was appointed to | draw up the documents for the approval of the vestry. ODDS AND ENDS. ORTHOGRAPHY.— Last autnmn, Mrs. C , of London, during a I visit to House, in the West of Scotland, called one day, along I with some other ladies, in the family carriage, at the Golden Arms I Inn, ot a sea- bathing place on the coast, and stopped for about an I hour. Some time af er the party had returned to D house, Mrs. I C. discovered that she had lost a very fine boa, which she supposed! she must have left at the inn. On inq'niry, no trace of the boa could I be found ; but about two months after Mrs. C.' s return to London I she received a parcel with a boa somewhat torn, accompanied by the | following epistle:— " Golden Arms Inn, —, 20th Oct., 1836. " Mrs. C Lundun. MiDtra,— I was sorry to heer that when yon lost your Bowa in I my huse. that the Bowa was stole bv my sarvantlasses ; and the sar- J vants at D Hose spred a report againstmy huseskarakter, which! no person ever questioned afore. My wiffe, Peggy, was mnckle vexed I at the report, and sershetl the trunks of all the lasses, but did not j HALIFAX CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION.— The annual meeting of this association took place on Monday evening last, in the large room of the Talbot Inn, in that town. Shortly after the hour of meeting the room was crowded to excess. On the motion of Charles Ed- wards, Esq., of Craven Lodge, seconded by William Moore, Esq., of Saville Green, Jon Staveley. Esq., took the chair, who opened the business of the meeting by alluding to the absence ar. d resignation of their chairman, W. J. Norris, Esq., who is about to leave the town, an event which the association deeply regretted. Mr. Staye- ley then proceeded to notice the character and object of the Associa- tion at some length, and called upon the members to prepare and hold themselves in readiness for the coming struggle. The report was then read, which stated, amongst other highly inteiesting and important matters, that the Association had received an accession of eighty- eight additional members, and that the entire number of members, at present amounted to 550. On the conclusion of the business of the meeting, the members adjourned to the Old Assem- bly- room, where the remainder of the evening was spent in the greatest harmony and conviviality. J. E. Dyson, Esq.. the newly- appointed chairman of the association, took the chair. Mr. Staveley find your Bowa: she fund in Jenny M'Tavish's kist half a pund of| tea which Je- y had stole from my wiffe's cupboard. Jeny denied I taking your Bowa; but not believing that you would tell a lee, and! as Jeny tuke the tea, my wife thocht she must have taken your Bowa I too, so I turned aff Jeny for your satisfaction. She went home to I her mither's house in , and four Sundays after, wha should be I cocken in the breistof the laft, all set round wi' ribbons in her heed, I but Miss Jeny with your Bowa c- n her shoulders, like a sow wi' a| saddle on its back. " I stopped her coming out of the kirk. So, so, I Miss Jeny ( says I) hae ye stumpe t the cow of her tale, or is that the I ladies Bowa ye hae on your sholders? The brazen- faced woman had I the impudence to deny the Bowa was yours, and said her sweetheart I had hot. it for her in a secondhand shop in the Salt- market of Gias- I gow. But I cut metters short wi' Jeny ; I een, as if by your autho- 1 rit- y. tuke the law in my own hand, and tore the Bowa from her I sholders; it was torn a little in ttie scuffle wi' Jeny and me afore the I congregation in the kirk- yard, but I carried it aff in spite of her, and I now send it to you, hopping you will put a letter in the newspaper of I Lundun, cleering the karakter of me and my wiffe, Peggy, and myl Inn of the Golden Arms. A- for Miss Jeny, ye may makher as black I as auld Nick, for, over and above Peggies half pund of tea, and your I Bowa, Jeny ( Ihae good reason to believe) is no better than she should I be.— I am, Madum, your vera humbel sarvant, " JOHN .'' The accession of the Queen to the British Throne has caused va- rious alterations in law forms and proceedings. In one writ which I came down to this city a ludicrous mistake was made in the date, as I follows:—" In the year of our Lady 1837," instead of our LORD.— I Western Luminary. At the Clerkenwell Sessions, on Thursday, the Chairman observed I to Mr. Adolphus that a doubt existed on the bench as to whether the J oaths should be taken in the terms" Our sovereign lady the Queen,"! or " our liege lady the Queen." Mr. Adolphus said he considered! the former the proper mode. The subject put him in mind < rfa good I * joke when Queen Anne came to the Throne. A person had written I Anno DOMINI, when an official exclaimed, " Oh, there is no Anno | DOMINI now." The Boston Post says, " the reason that cream is so scarce now is, j that milk is risen so high that cream can't reach the top." It being unlawful to set, man traps and spring- guns, a gentleman I once hit upon a happy device. He was a scholar, and being often I asked the meaning of mysterious words compounded from the Greek | that, flourish in every day's newspaper, and finding they always ex- i cited much wonder by their length and terrible sound, he. had painted I on a board and put up on his premises in very large letters, the fol- lowing:—" Tondapameibomenos set up in these grounds.". It was perfectly a patent safety. A gun has been invented in America, by which thirty shots can be I made in a minute. Its capabilities have been tested in a battle with | the Seininoles, in Florida, aud found completely successful. It is! stated that 100 men armed with these guns, would be equal in povetl of efficacy in batlle to 1,000 armed with any other. A few more in- j ventions of this sort, and the game of war is at an end.— Scotsman. An almanack published in the year 1730 has the following very re- markable predictions, which have been fulfilled to the very letter:— | " By the power to see through the ways of heav'n, In one thousand eight hundred and thirty- seven, Will the year pass away without any spring, And on England's Throne shall not sit d King.' One of the best liquids for diluting ink that has become too thick I for use is a strong decoction of coffee; it improves its colour, and| gives it an additional lustre. MAGAZINE.

TO THE HOLDERS OF EQUITABLE POLICIES, Comprehended in the favoured Five Thousand.— In the year 1829, I called atten- tion to the necessity of your securing the advantages presented by your peculiar situation. Numbers availed themselves of the suggestion, and had good reason to be satisfied with the result. The frightful epidemic of 1837 has induced many to look with anxiety to the realisation of the prospective bonus of 1840. I shall be happy to give personal attention and explanations to any of the present holder* who may favour me with a call, or to transmit written elucidations by post to those who may furnish me with the date and amount of Policy and the age of the life assured.

The objects of this Society are to purchase Reversions, Life Interests, and pro- perty in any way depending upon life, which not having been contemplated by the deed of the Norwich Union Life Insurance Society, form no part of its busi- ness, except as relates to the purchase of its own policies. Similar institutions have been in operation for some years, and have by their success proved the advantage of such undertakings ; while the valuable informa- tion which has been lately collected upon this, as well as all subjects relating to life interests, may be considered as having reduced to a certainty that a Rever- sionary Interest Society, well conducted, must be successful. The Society has peculiar recommendations to parties desirous of increasing their income, without incurring the risk usually consequent upon additional CHOICE PERRY, equal to Champagne, 18s. per dozen/ REAL COCKAGEE CIDER, 9s. per dozen.

It in consequence becomes a safe channel of investment for widows and minors, as well as a secure provision for old age, and may be consi- dered a sort of savings bank for penons desirous of increasing their income witbfj out decreasing tbe principal monev. , ., e The capital consists of 10,000 shares of J? 10 each, on which a deposit of « will be immediately required. It will be further increased by the issue of new share » to the shareholders as the concern increases, and the new shares which any share- holder may not be disposed to take, will be sold for the benefit of the company. Repeated compulsory calls will thus be avoided, and the Directors will not increase the capital until the first ^ 100,000 shall have been beneficially invested, leaving it at the option of the first Subscribers to increase their interest. A large number of Shares has been subscribed for, and many advantageous pnr- chases have been already made. The present, however, is a highly favourable period for such investments, and the Directors are desirous of availing themselves of the opportunity of completing the undertaking, which has been hitherto almost private.

The pressure upon the commercial world has not ex- tended itself to the Money Market, which has generally maintained a firm posiiiton. The Floating Securities have rather receded to- day, the premium on Exchequer Bills being at the close of business at 31 to 32 pm., and Indian Bonds also closed rather flat at 32 pm. There is a slight improvement in the Peninsular Bonds; the Spanish Active Bonds left off at 23, and the Passive at 5%. Portu- guese Five per Cents, are 435s to 44, and the Three per Cents., ex- div., are at 2Republican Bonds evince a disposition to advance, Chilian being 31 to 32, and Columbian 24^; Mexican are rather dull at 2114 to 2256. Northern Securities are very litile noticed; the Belgian Bonds are at 100M, the Dutch Five per Cents, are 99^, and the Two- and- a- IIalf per Cents, are at 52ifJ ex- div.; Russian Bonds are 108*. Scarcely. any attraction has occurred in Shares, but the general appearance is depressed. I 3 perCent.

A French squadron, which is about to I proceed from Toulon to the Levant, excites some speculation ; but I we presume that it is not sent to execute any important political I object. Both Chambers were engaged with the budgets of the dif- I ferent departments, hastening them through that the Sessions may I be brought to a close. One of the Paris journals, the Bon Sens, as- serts that the King of Belgium is anxiously expected at Neuilly, and that his visit is connected with a political object in which England is concerned. There is no information from the theatre of war in Spain later than that given in another part of our paper. J FALMOUMH, June 29.— The Peninsula steamer has just arrived I here. She left Mais ga on the 19th inst., Gibraltar 20th. Cadi/. 21st, I and Lisbon 25th, with mails. The news by her may be communi- I cated briefly:— Lisbon was tranquil, and the Ministry remained I without change; the members comprising it were occupied in en- I deavours to give satisfaction to the public— a task which still re- Imained encompassed with difficulties. The Minister of Finance I held forth a hope that he would in a great measure be able to re- I deem the cridit of the country if circumstances permitted his re- I maining in office. Accounts had reached Lisbon from Algarves, I which describes the force of Remechido as having successfully dis comfitted the regular troops sent against them, taking several pri I soners, and in many instances shooting part of them with their I officers. The first- named force is said to have so increased as to be I able to assume the offensive. The Cortes were chiefly occupied on ] the clauses of the new constitution, but were very tardy in their I proceedings. The English fleet, as usual, continue'd in the Tagus. Another dreadful murder has just been perpetrated in the Staf- J fordshire potteries. A man of the name of I irownfield, a packer, I has stabbed his wife and son. The child is dead, but the wife is I alive at present. I By the return published in Friday's Gazette, of the weekly averages I of the liabilities and assets of the Bank of England for the quarter I ended the 27th of June, we find an increase in the stock of bullion of I 227,000/. According to the return published last month, the amount I held by the Corporation was 4,423,000/. By the present average it is 4,750,000/. The circulation has decreased from 18,419,000/. to 18,202.000/., and the securities have decreased from 27,572,000/. to 26,932,000/. The deposits have increased from 10,422,000/. to 110,424,000/. In the Rest, or Reserved Fund, we perceive there is a decrease from 3,154,000/. to 3,056.000/. I LARIBETH.— In consequence of the general but unfounded appre- hension that persons a- present unbaptised will be liable to some I penalty, or subject to some inconvenience under the provisions of the new Registration Act, the extraordinaiy number of 220 children were baptised in the parish Church of St. Mary, Lambeth, on Sunday last; 1190 children and 20 adults on the following Wednesday, and 211 I children and 36 adults on the following Friday, making a total of 677 I baptised and received into the Church on these three days. I CAUTION TO PERSONS ABOUT TO RECEIVE THEIR DIVIDENDS AT THE IBANK or ENGLAND.— From about this time until the ead" of the I month, when the Bank of England are generally paying their divi- I dends, a description of well- dressed thieves and swindlers, called I " Dividend Hunters," infest the neighbourhood of the Bank; some I pursuing their avocations in the usual mode of picking pockets, by I secretly abstracting the'money; others, with greater cunning and I less risk of detection, may be met at coffee- houses, billiard- rooms, I taverns, public- houses, and auction- rooms, each ill their profession * „, ,, - , T r , r , . seeking the same end- to defraud the unwary.

The SPEAKER took. the chair at twelve o'clock.— The Greenwich Railway Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. The report of the Committee on the Cork and Passage Railway was further considered, and the Bill ordered to be engrossed. The Letters Patent Bill went through Committee. Report on Monday. The reports of the Committee of Ways and Means and Supply were brought up and agreed to. The report on the East India Postage Bill was brought up, and the amendments agreed to. The Rolls Estate Bill was read a third time and passed. The Malt Duties Regulation Bill was reported and ordered to be engrossed. ' I he Post office Management Bill was read a second time. Committee on Mon- day. The New South Wales Bill, and the Sheriffs ( Scotland) Bill went through Committees, and were ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The London and Brighton Railway Bill ( Rennie's line) was read a third time and passed. Mr. WARBURTON brought up the report of Committee on the Bills of Exchange Bill, which was agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be engrossed. On the order of the day for going into Committee on the Reform of Parliamant ( Ireland) Bill, Mr. LEFROY objected to proceeding with this measure on the present occasion, and contended that Irish Members could not suppose, after the declaration of the Noble Lord ( the Hon. Secretary), that no important business which was not pressing should be proceeded with, that this measure was to be hurried through. He therefore must object to the House going into Committee. — Mr. Serjeant WOULFE said great injustice would be done to the electors of Ireland if the Bill did not pass into a law during the pre- sent session.— Mr. Serjeant GOULBURN said it wa- understood that the Heuseinet to- day only on formal business. He did think, there- fore, that an important measure like the present ought not to be per- severed in. He hoped some other day would be appointed for dis- cussing the measure in Committee.— Lord HOWICK and Sir G. GREY supported the Bill.— Mr. SHAW strongly objected to the Bill. It was nothing more nor less than an attempt of the Government on the eve of a general election to legislate in favour of a particular party. ( Hear, hear, hear.) It was not necessary at the present moment to make any alteration in the polling places, and certainly this was not the proper time to make any diff- rence in the position of electors. The present Bill only affected the county of Cork, and, therefore, he never could lend his sanction to any such partial measure.— Colonel PERCEVAL said, Hon. Gentlemen opposite advocated partial ex parte legislation. ( Hear, hear, hear.) Their object was to favour one particular party, which he ( Col. Perceval) would never lend his sanction to.— Sir E. KNATCHBULL opposed the Bill on the same ground.— Lord J. RUSSELL said, he did not see any force in the ob- jection which had been urged against the Bill. He considered the present a very important, measure, and in his opinion no valid reason had been urged against it; he saw no cause whatever why the. House should not go in into Committee.— Mr. SHAW moved that the Bill be committed this day three months; but it was ultimately agreed that the Committee be postponed until Monday. On the orderof the day being read for bringing up the report on the Final Register of Electors Bill, Mr. Serjeant GOULBURN opposed the report being received, and moved that the House be counted. Exactly forty members, including the Speaker, were present. The report was eventually received, and the bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The report of the Committee on the Municipal Rates Bill was further considered, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The Cruelty to Animals Bill was read a second time.— Adj. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.- SATURDAY. LACY V. OSBALDISTONE.— The plaintiff in this case was Mr. R Lacy, the composer, and late acting manager of Covent Garden Theatre, and the defendant the lessee of that establishment. The action was brought to recover compensation in damages for various breaches of contract. The plaintiff in his declaration stated that he was engaged by the defendant, as acting manager, from the 5th of October, 1835, to the 5th of October 1836, at a salary of 4001., with an additional sum of 1001. if the season was successful. That he was to have the privilege of a private box, and to issue orders ; that he was to have a benefit; and, lastly, he was dismissed before the period agreed on without any just cause. To these several breaches the de- fendant had pleaded a justification. Mr. Sergeant Wilde •< with whom were Mr. Serjeant Talfourd and Mr. Richards) stated the plaintiff's case. Messrs. Piatt and Channell appeared for the defendant. Mr. Rowcroft, the secretary of the City of London Conservative Association, proved having offered the support of that body to the plaintiff in the event of his taking a benefit; and Messrs. Power, S. Price, C. Kemble, John Cooper, Notter, and Sheridan Knowles were examined as to the customs adopted by lessees of theatres to wards acting managers. I those persons who have dividends to receive ought to be extremely I on their guard who they get into conversation with. I CHURCH- RATES.— In " the parish of Camberwell a vestry was held I on Thursday evening for the purpose of making a Church- rate for I the year ensuing, the Reverend Vicar in the chair. Tne Church- I wardens applied for a rate of one penny in the pound, and by way I of amendment, an adjournment for a twelvemonth was moved. Upon I the show of hands the numbers were— for the amendment, 43, and I for the rate, 58; whereupon the minority ( against the rate) required I the votes to be taken down, under the Vestry Act; which being done, I the numbers were 115 in favour of the rate and 33 against it. The I result was received with much satisfaction by the parishioners pre- | sent. LIVERPOOL, Thursday.— The Conservatives met in the various I wards this evening, and unanimously lesolved to support Lord San- don and Mr. Creswell, who are expected in Liverpool every day. that from the opening of the theatre in October, 1835, to the closing ofitinJune, 1836, the excess of the expenditure over the receipts amounted to 1767/. 6s. 3d. ; and from the 12th of September, 1836, to the 5th of October following, 553/. 15s. 5d., exclusive of some trades- men's bills : that ( he sum paid for the use of the house varied from ? 140/. to 150/. That the plaintiff, on one occasion after MissRomer had sung a song in Zamphore, said, " How can you sing such stuff?" and that the plaintiff also permitted Mr. Braham to act his Fra Diavolo contrary to his agreement with the defendant. The witness was cross- examined at great length, from which it ap- peared the remark to Miss Romer was made in March, 1836 ; that the gross amount of money taken at the doors on the benefit of Mr. Kemble was 400/. ; on that of Mr. Osbaldistone, 369/.; Mr. Ma- cready, 360/. 14s.; Mr. Knowles, 260/.; and down to as low as 86.'. 5s. Mr. Seijeant Wilde replied at considerable length, and severely I UUU UIIU 1,1 I .

SUICIDE.— About half- past twelve o'clock on Friday night a well I dressed female, in a state of apparent distraction, threw herself off I the parapet of Waterloo- bridge. Her desperate act was seen by one I of the police, who instantly gave the alarm, but although several I boats were soon put off, the unfortunate woman had sunk and was | seen no more. The body has not been found. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.— These Sessions again commence I to- morrow ( Monday), and it is expected in consequence of the light- I ness of the calendar that the attendance of the Court will not be I occupied more than four days. The number of prisoners for trial I is 126. CORONER'S INQUEST.— MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.— Yesterday an in- I quest was held at the Union Tavern, Union- road, Clapham, before I Mr. Higgs ( Coroner for the Duchy of Lancaster, in which jurisdic- I tionthe house is situated), and a respectable jury, on view of the body I of William Anderson, aged 43, a market- gardener, who commited I suicide by hanging himself, under very afflicting circumstances. It I appeared from the evidence that the deceased, who was a married I man with a large family, had for some months past been in a low desponding slate of mind, which was attributed to his pecuniary affairs being very much embarrassed. On Thursday morning he I proceeded to market for the purpose of disposing of the produce of | his land. On his return he was noticed to be unusually dejected. I In a conversation with a neighbour, he said " that he was sure I he should not be able to get on much longer, that he had strove I to keep clear of debt and bring up his family respectably, but it I was all of no use." On Thursday evening, the poor man was I missed, and after considerable search was discovered suspended by I a rope to a beam in a shed on his grounds. He was instantly cut I down, and a surgeon promptly attended, who endeavoured to re- I store animation by bleeding and other remedies, but without any I good resulting, as life was quite gone. Verdict—" Temporary I derangement. ' I A young gentleman, named Ingall, an articled clerk to an attor- ney in the Inner Temple, was drowned on Friday morning, whilst J bathing in the Thames opposite the Temple Gardens. It is supposed i he was seized with cramp whilst swimming. | SINGULAR EXPLOIT.— Friday a man undertook, for a wager of 20 fuineas, that he would in a boat row under the eight following ridges, and also walk over them, in the short space of three hours. He accordingly started from London- bridge, and walked over it, taking to his boat on the other side, as he didSouthwark. Blackfriars, Waterloo, Westminster, Vauxhall, Battersea, and Fulham bridges. He performed this extraordinary task with comparative ease, and I in ten minutes less than the time allowed him. The man's name is | understood to be Scott. The odds six and seven to four against him. Mr. Justice Vaughan summed up the case, and pointed out the nature of the different pleas on the record. The Jury instantly found a verdict for the defendant on all the is- sues. Mr. Justice Vaughan said he thought the justification to the plea of dismissal was not made out. The Jury again consulted, and said they thought it was made out. The trial, which excited great interest amongst the theatrical world, the principal members from all the theatres being present, lasted from eleven o'clock until six in the evening. POLICE.— SATURDAY. MARYLEBONE OFFICE.— THE NEW POOR- LAW BILL.— ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.— Yesterday a care- worn, miserable looking female, named Mary Kesting, was brought before Mr. Shutt under the following distressing circumstances. It appeared from the evidence of a Police Constable of the S divi- sion, who was on duty in the Regent's Park on the previous evening, that he saw the poor creature pacing to and fro on the bank of the canal, wringing her hands, and evidently driven to distiaction. She paused for a moment, and fell on her knees in the attitude of prayer, and then springing wildly up, was in the act of precipitating herself into the stream, when he rushed forward and seizing her by the gown, with difficulty prevented the suicidal act. He conveyed her to the station- house, when, on her becoming a little collected, she was asked where she lived and what had caused her to make the attempt on her life. She stated that she resided in Tudor- place, Tottenham- court- road ; that she was the mother of six children, who, together with herself, were in danger of perishing, owing to her husband having been out of work some time, and she could not bear the idea of going into the poor- honse as at present conducted, and therefore had made up her mind to destroy herself. The poor creature, with tears in her eyes, repeated the above statement to the Magistrate, who relieved and discharged her upon a promise that she would not repeat the offence. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BROMPTON.— Yesterday morning, about half- past twelve o'clock, during the raging of the conflagration at Vauxhall Gardens, the neighbourhood of Brompton were much alarmed by flames suddenly bursting forth from the extensive stables belonging to Mr. C. Hales, post- master. No. 10, Swan- street, Brompton, and the confusion that prevailed on the discovery it is impossible to describe, for in a very short time the entire build- ing was in one body of lire. On the stable doors being burst open, which was done by the police, an attempt was made to save a valuable horse which was fastened to a stall, but. we regret to state, that in con- sequence of the intense heat they were obliged to retreat, and the poor animal perished. Intelligence was soon forwarded to the engine stations in the metropolis, and within ten minutes after the alarm was given, Rose, the foreman of King- street Fire Establishment Station, arrived on the spot with a powerful engine Utii( 8 force of the' fire brigade, who . were proceeding at the time to Va « ) ihall Gar- dens, but on hearing of the present occurrence started off, and ar- rived as above stated. The fire at that period presented a most alarming aspect, the house belonging to Mr. Tobbiris,. baker, No.. 5, Brompton- terrace. having taken fire. The firemen lout no time in getting the engine to work; and a plentiful supply of water being obtained, immense streams were poured into the burning embers ; but although other engines arrived and every endeavour was made to put a stop to the progress of the flames, before it was accom- plished the entire building and contents were reduced to aheap of ruins. The cause of the fire is unknown, and the parties are fortu- nately insured. THE WAR IN SPAIN.
