The- Hon.

THE POOR LAW BILI » — A correspondence, respecting the right of rate- payers to elect vestry clerk3 and pay their salaries out of the poor rate, which they have been doing for two or three centuries, has taken place between the Poor Law Commissioners and the overseers of Chnstchurch, Surrey, which is likely to affect no less than 10,000 parishes in England and Wales, who appoint yearly a paid vestry clerk. The following reply was given by the former to the applica- tion:— " Poor Lata Commission Office, Somerset House, March 21,1836. " Gentlemen— The Commissioners consider that they have no power to dispense with any of the rules laid down in the circular of the 1st of March, which they consider to be an exposition of the law, and equally as binding upon them as upon you. In the case of the King v. the Churchwardens of Croydon ( 5 T. R., 714) it was stated that no payments could legally be made from the poor rates to the vestry clerk. The commissioners desire me to remind you that the duties of overseers are compulsory, but that they will be relieved from some of the most burthensome by the establishment of the unions and new bodies of paid officers. Should, however, the duties of the overseers still press so heavily as to prevent their being discharged properly with that fair sacrifice of time which is still expected from them, the Commissioners feel it their duty not to sanction the appointment of any new paid or parochial officer, but direct that assistance should be afforded them by some one of the present paid officers under the control of the board of guardians. I forward you with this a copy of the regulations of the board of guardians of St. Saviour's union, in which you will find that the collector is directed to assist the overseer in making the rate, & c.— I have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient servant, " E. CHADWICK, Secretary. " To Messrs. W. Hawes, S. Hallen, and C. Turpin, Overseers of Christchurch, Surrey." A convention was was signed on the 29th ult., between the French Minister for Foreign Affairs and the British Ambassador, and waits the ratification of their respective Sovereigns, which being a sequel to the treaty of the 14th of June, 1833, will greatly facilitate the cor- respondence between France and England. Among other points, it allows letters to be post- paid or not, on their being taken to the Post- office of either country; it permits and guarantees the trans- mission by the post, from/ me country to the other, of money letters, and also of a mutual conveyance of newspapers, at a very moderate charge.' Tn the negociation of this convention M. Conte, Director- General of the Post- office in France, and Sir Francis Freeling, Se- cretary- General of the Post- office in England, have greatly assisted. Miss PEXELOFE SMYTH.— We read in the Journal de Rouen, of the 4th, " On Saturday last the Prince of Capua and Miss Penelope Smyth, travelling under the name of Count and Countess Mascalli, arrived in our city. They intended to spend eight days in it, and had engaged lodgings for that time in the Hotel d'Angleterre, when chance would have it that Miss Penelope Smyth, whose life it seems has been rather adventurous, met at the hotel a young Englishman with whom she had also travelled some years since. The Prince, not relishing this meeting much, immediately sent for post horses, and set out in the direction of Calais, where he is to embark for England. From London the travellers will proceed to Gretna Green, where their union will be legitimated by marriage." Saturday morning a young man having something the appearance of a gentleman, drove up to the London Inn, Dover, in a post- chaise and four, accompanied by a young woman apparently very near her confinement. He would not cross the water to Calais in either of the steam- boats, but hired an open boat, that of the well- known Jumper, who crosses with the mail when the weather is too rough for the steamers, for which he agreed to pay the sum of 101. But the singu- larity of his conduct did not end here. After displaying a bundle of bank- notes in the coifee- room, supposed to contain 1,0001., heengaged a medicalman, assistant of Mr. Coleman, of Dover, to whom he gave 201., to accompany himself and his lady, in case the latter should be taken in confinement on the passage. Paris was the object in view. Wednesday morning, Mr. Webster, a gentleman residing in Charlotte- street, Portland- place, who had been for some days pre- vious in a nervous state of excitement, cut his throat in bed, and almost immediately expired. Mrs. Webster, who had not left the room many minutes, on returning with the breakfast she had pre pared for Mr. Webster, discoveredhim bathed in his blood. He had procured a razor during her temporary absence, though he was apparently asleep when she left the room. The Coroner's Jury returned a verdict of " Insanity." According to accounts from Bordeaux, the late storms have made numerous victims on that coast. The fishermen of La Teste must have been nearly all lost to their families, for no fewer than 72 were overtaken by the gales when at a distance from the coast, and many of their bodies, with wrecks of their boats, have already been east on the sands. We beg to direct the attention of our readers to the following com- munication, addressed to A. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton- garden, London:— Gentlemen— I take the earliest opportunity of relating the surprising virtues of your Macassar Oil on two of my children, one seven, the other nine years of age— Their hair came off on several parts of their heads in patches the size of half- a- crown, and continued so. Alarmed at this circumstance, as there was no appear- ance of its coming again, I tried several compositions, < fce., without effect; when a lady, who had witnessed the extraordinary qualities of your Oil, entreated me to try it, which I did ; and after using four bottles, their Hair was completely recovered. Ye have liberty to refer any one to Your obedient sen- ant, Newington green, Middlesex, Nov. 17th. L. JOHNSON. Rowland's Macassar Oil prevents Hair from falling off or turning Grey; changes Grey Hair to its original colour, frees it from Scurf and Dandrif; and makes it beautifully soft and curly. Caution— Ask for Rowland's Macassar Oil.— The lowest price is 3s. 6d.; the next, 7s.; 10s, 6d.; and 21s. per bottle.— Impostors call their trash the " GENUINE,'' pffering it for sale under the lure of being cheap. FOREIGN. The French papers contain no news of importance. M. Thiers still maintains his eround in the Chamber, and is supposed to be growing stronger. The introduction of a Bill for laying a duty on home- made sugar has raised much clamour in the Chamber of Deputies, and from the warmth with which the question is discussed it may be expected to meet with a formidable opposition. The trial of the persons accused of a plot to assassinate the King on the road to Neuillv is drawing towards it* conclusion. The general expectation was that they would be acquitted, but punished for their insolence to the Court. The Bon Sens and Charivari mention reports afloat of the discovery of another conspiracy against Louis Philippe, in which various eminent personages are implicated, and which has given rise to a large number of arrests. In connection with it the Journal du Com- merce mentions the rumour of a certain number of sub- officers belonging to a cavalry regiment quartered at Versailles having been placedurider arrest. The Journal du Havre announces that the American packet Havre, Capt. Stoddard, sailed from that port for New York on Tuesday, with l, 500,000fr. of the indemnity of 25,000,000fr. Letters and papers have been received from Lisbon to the 26th nit. by the Scorpion packet. The difficulties of the Treasury still continued, but M. Campos seemed still disposed to cling to office as long as anything remained in his hands to pledge or sell to raise money for the necessities of the moment. The arrival of the Prince was looked for with great anxiety, but the question as to conferring upon his Royal Highness the rank of Commander- in- Chief, stipu- lated in the " marriage contract, remained undecided. Bv advices from Bayonne of the 2d inst. we learn that Don Carlos's heacl- qtiarters continued on the 30th of March at Elortio; no move- ment had taken place on either side, save one of the Carlists brigade under Tarrazual, which had been ordered to join General Garcia's division in Navarre. At Bayonne the co- operation of the British squadron on the coast of . Biscay was considered as a real inter- vention. Fresh disturbances are stated to have broken out in the capitals of Arragon and Valencia. In the former, when the last couriers left the National Guards were calling enmasse for the heads of several Carlist prisoners. At Valencia the utmost ferment is stated to prevail, the new Governor, despatched with extraordinary powers to chastise the rioters, having been compelled, like his prede- cessor, to shut himself up in the citadel. CONSTANTINOPLE, March 10.— The report spread for some time past respecting the restoration of Silistria to the Grand Signior is gaining ground. It is said that England interferes with the affair, which~~ will be settled in the course of the summer. That which may be affirmed is, that negociations on the subject have been entered into with the Russian Ambassador. What progress they have made has not transpired. The evacuation of Silistria under present cir- cumstances would, in the opinion of diplomatists, be an European event.— A great sensation has been produced here by the news spread of Lord Ponsonby having announced in his despatches to Malta the approaching departure of Namick Pacha, with a frigate, a brig, a sloop and schooner, that were to join the English squadron. Namick Pacha is preparing to sail. If he repair to the Malta waters it is evident that the object of the expedition is Egypt, where, according to the last advices of the 15th February, Mehemet Ali, after respectfully receiving the Firman, has refused to comply with the demands of England. Letters from Alexandria affirm that Mehemet Ali has solemnly protested against those demands, which impair his rights, andrefusesthe slightest satisfaction to what he calls the presumptuous requisition of England. New York Papers to the 17th of March have been received; the most prominent features of their contents are, that the Imaum of Muscat had concluded a treaty of commerce with the United States, the ratification of which had been carried out by the United States sloop of war, Peacock, the terms of which treaty are also of a very liberal character.— The intelligence from the seat of war in Florida, which comes down to March 5, is anything but flattering to the arms of the United States. According to their own showing the Indians have gained considerable advantages over the regular organised State force. General Gaines, who was originally despatched to subdue the insurgents, has been superseded in the command by Gen. Scott, not, however, before he had sustained some loss and repulses at the hands of the Indians.— These papers contain an account of the death of Mr. Daffy, manager of the Albany Theatre. The circumstances under which this event took place are as singular as tragical. Mr. Daily, it appears, had a difference with a member of his company named Hamilton; angry words were exchanged, and the latter followed the manager into a house which he had entered, and stabbed him while passing along the lobby. The unfortunate man lingered a few days, but the blow of the assassin placed him beyond the aid of medicine. From the Montreal papers of the 10th ult. we learn that the politi- cal agitation of the Lower Province has not at all abated since the previous communications. The House of Assembly appears to have proceeded in the most violent and intemperate manner, and has passed Bills for remodelling, according to their fashion, the Legisla- tive Council, the repeal of the Tenures Act, and the charter of the British American Land Company. An address had also been pre- sented to Lord Gosford from the Assembly, praying him not to issue letters patent for the occupation of lands granted to the British American Land Company: to which his Lordship replied, that he did not conceive it to be within the scope of his powers to annul or abridge any of the privileges conferred upon any of his Majesty's subjects by the sign manual. His Lordship, however, acceded to that part of the address of the Assembly which desired him to lay before them a statement of all such patents or instruments as had been issued in that province in favour of the said company. Fresh grants for the contingencies of the House had been granted by Lord Gosford, now amounting to 28,0001'., which sum will be disbursed in paying Papineau, Roebuck, Chapman, and the members themselves their 10s per diem. The private letters complain much of this indis- criminate application of moneys derived from British sources only; and the appointment of Bedard to the office of Judge has certainly created a feeling of indignation that will not readily be stifled. The recal of Lord Gosford has in consequence been most anxiously prayed for. The affairs of the London and Westminster Bank appear to be progressing very prosperously, the opening of branch offices in Bloomsburv, Whitechapel, ana Southwark, having had the effect of increasing the business of the establishment to a considerable extent. Mr. Burgess, in his Bank Circular, speaking of the question at issue between the London and Westminster Bank and the Bank of Eng- land— a question which he anticipates will not be brought to a very speedy decision— says:—" The Westminster Bank, before it has been in operation seven years, will be in a condition not only to grasp at excise and other fiscal collectorships, but will canvass suc- cessfully for the deposits of institutions, trustees, assignees, parishes, public companies, and will endeavour to attract to its offices the mo t valuable funds, and business now possessed by the Bank of England." This statement is already in some measure borne out by facts, for we find that in addition to the London and Westminster Bank being appointed receiver of excise dnties for the counties of Kent and Surrey, the important and united vestry of St. Giles and St. George, Bloomsbury, have resolved to keep their accounts with the" Bloomsbury branch. That public confidence in the establishment is on the increase is evident: the paid up capital is 600,0001.; and a few days ago the shares were getting up in price, when the Directors gave notice that they would issue 10,000 more at 41.10s. premium; the whole of these shares were applied for, and allotted on Wednesday last, giving the Bank an additional fund of 45,0001. BANK OF ENGLAND.— At a meeting of the proprietors , of Bank Stock, held on Tuesday in the Court- room of the Directors, James Pattison, Esq., M. P. for the City, and Timothy Abraham Curtis, Esq., were re- electedGovernorandDeputy- Governor for the ensuing year. The ballot closed at four o'clock, when the numbers were reported to be 87 for each of those gentlemen. Mr. Wells tendered a protest against the election, on the ground that under the terms of the Charter the gentlemen re- elected were ineligible. The accept- ance and recognition of this protest was declined by the Governor, inasmuch, as the protester is so far from being a bond fide holder of Bank Stock to the amount of 5001., without which he cannot legally claim to enter the room where the election takes place, holds even the more moderate sum which stands in his name as a mere trustee for others. The present Governor, Mr. I'attison, it will be recollected, was first placed in the Chair during the course of the official year, in consequence of the vacancy occasioned by the disqualification of Mr. Mee Raikes. A precedent of a more decided character against limiting the duration of the office strictly to two years, is to be found in the instance of Mr. J. H. Palmer, who, having occupied the Chair for two full years, was retained there for a third year, for the purpose of conducting the important negociations which terminated in the late renewal of the Charter. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. MORISON'S PILLS.— Robert Salmon was. on Wednesday indict- ed for having wickedly, knowingly, and feloniously administered, on the 20th January, to John Mackenzie, a certain deleterious mixture, which caused him to be mortally sick until the 25th of January, when the said John Mackenzie died. Another count charged the prisoner with having taken on himself to administer to the said John Mac- kenzie, a certain deleterious, noxious, and destructive mixture, in order to cure him of a certain disease in his knee, but which in reality, caused his death. Counsel for the prosecution, Messrs. Clarkson and Bodkin; for the prisoner,' Sir F. Pollock, Messrs. Adolphus, Espinasse, and Phillips. Mr. Clarkson stated the case to the Jury. The prosecution had been instituted by the parish of Ratcliffe, for the deceased, John Mackenzie, was" a master mariner residing at Ratcliffe. The prisoner resided at No. 6, Farringdon- street, where there was at once a tobacconist's shop and a place for selling the medicine called Morisun's pills. The law made it imperative on every person treat- ing a patient, and taking on himself to administer medicine, to pos- sess competent knowledge of the art of healing. Should an unhappy termination take place, when a medical practitioner attended, the supposed skill of the medical person put all charge of manslaughter out of the question. In the present instance the prisoner was not possessed of competent medical knowledge, and he was therefore now charged with manslaughter. The Learned Counsel then entered into a detail of the circumstances attending the taking of the pills. Ann Mackenzie, the wife of the deceased, was examined at great length. Her husband, she said, when he died, was 32 years of age. He had never been ill, and was ill perfect health at the time he wa3 induced to take some of Morison's pills, on the recommendation of a female named Lane, who vended them. He took them as an open- ing medicine, and expressed himself light and well after them. The deceased was afterwards attacked by a rheumatic affection in the knee, and Anne Lane recommended the prisoner as a proper person to consult. The prisoner called at the house some days after and said he had been sent by Miss Lane. Witness told him that Miss Lane ought not to have done so, as Captain Mackenzie was well enough, and could send for advice himself, if necessary. The knee got worse afterwards, and witness recommended him to send for the prisoner. The deceased did not complain of any ailment but that affecting his knee when Mr. Salmon called. The deceased was ordered to take twenty pills at night. Witness administered half the quantity to him. The prisoner called next morning, and inquired if the pills had been given him, and on receiving an answer in the affirmative ordered an increase of five pills every dose. The prisoner called day by day, until Mr. Cummins, a surgeon, was called in. The largest dose wit- ness ever gave her husband was fifteen or twenty. Sometimes she gave none, but whenever she gave a dose at night she gave another in the morning. The witness then detailed the manner in which her husband had been affected by the medicine. Witness informed Mr. Salmon that the deceased had been racked with pain, and had a great inclination to throw everything off his stomach. The prisoner recommended hot water and salt to enable him to get every thing off his stomach easily. He also said that the fever would feed her husband without any victuals. Witness replied that there was no fever, he was perfectly cool. The deceased began at this time to be exceedingly weak, so much so that he could scarcely get out of bed. This was five days after the prisoner had prescribed the first dose. Witness informed the prisoner of her hus- band's state— but he said she was alarming herself unnecessarily, and that if a sufficient quantity of pills was given, he would be well in a few days. On the Tuesday night the deceased took a turn about one o'clock— he seemed to be quite delirious. When the prisoner came,, she told him of the dangerous state of her husband, and desired him to be on his guard as to the consequences. The prisoner said it was all unnecessary alarm, and gave himself to the deceased twenty- five pills in some jelly. He distrusted witness, he said, and therefore gave the dose himself. He said at that time that he would not allow any medical man to interfere. He would turn any such out of the house. The prisoner came nextday at two o'clock. Witness's hus- band was much worse. More pills and a box of powders were ad- ministered, and the prisoner called again on the following day, and inquired if anything had been given to the deceased ? A negative answer was given. He then took out two papers containing a powder, and calling for a cup mixed them with cold water. The prisoner said that it was pills powdered, and ordered her to raise her husband up, when he poured the contents of the cup into his mouth ; in a few minutes the deceased vomited up the powders with a great quantity of blood ; but the prisoner said that there was always straggling blood in a person's inside, and that there was no occasion for alarm. The deceased said, " My dear, he has poisoned me." On going down stairs Mr. Greg ( who had been sent for by her husband's orders) spoke of the saa state of the patient^ and demanded if the prisoner was a medical man? He replied in the affirmative. Mr. Greg asked to see his credentials. The prisoner said it was not usual for medical men to carry their diploma about them. Mr. Greg asked him if he was enrolled as a surgeon ? and he answered " Yes." Mr. Gregthen sent for Mr. Cummins, and he attended. Her husband was worse and worse each hour. The prisoner came again in the evening, and when told that a medical man had been called in, he said that the patient was doing very well, and advised her not to call in the doctor; that witness was not so much to blame as her friends, who were alarming themselves about Captain Mackenzie. She replied that there was alarm in her friends, and that she, having four chil- dren, was naturally uneasy. He said, on going away, that he would return in the morning, and bring a physician. This was on the Fri- day. Mr. Cummins came next day, and brought a medical man. The prisoner came also, accompanied by Dr. Lynch. Witness re- fused them admittance. The deceased got worse, and on the Satur- day night he got cold, and on the Monday morning, at three o'clock, he ceased to five. Mr. Cummins, a surgeon, was called in on Thursday morning, and found deceased in a very weak state; he recommended some chicken broth, and, finding him worse on Friday, declined to act without professional assistance, and Dr. Cobb was accordingly called in on Saturday; the latter ordered an enema, but the patient got much worse, and he thought no medicine could have relieved him: he had analysed some of the pills left; they were composed of gam- boge, aloes, assafoedita, and cream of tartar, which would produce ulceration: he had opened the body; the stomach was highly in- flamed, and there was a patch of ulcerated flesh: the lungs were healthy; in his opinion death was caused by ulceration and inflam- mation of the bowels, arising from having taken irritating medicine; he considered that three persons out of ten would die if they took 20 or 30 night and morning.— Dr. Cobb first saw deceased on Saturday, who was then labouring under extreme exhaustion: he ordered no medicine, but desired beef tea to be administered, with a little brandy, to sustain life: he attended the post mortem examination, and corro- borated Mr. Cummins's opinion as to the state of the intestines ; he considered that large doses of aloes and gamboge would produce those appearances, and no person of skill would administer strong purgatives to a person evidently labouring under a vital disease. This closed the case for the prosecution. For the defence a great number of witnesses were produced, who severally spoke to the beneficial effects of the pills. One witness stated that he had taken 1,000 pills in twenty days— another witness had taken, on one occasion, 100 pills, and for several days together ninety at a dose— a third stated that he had taken on one occasion 160 pills, and on another 100 at a dose, which cured him of a series of dreadful disorders— a female declared that her usual dose was one hundred and twelve at night— and George Pearson, of Ratcliffe- highway, had taken 860 pills in fourteen days, and twenty thousand in the space of two years. In answer to a question by Mr. B'dkin, this witness stated that the 20,000 pills had cost him 221— The prisoner read a long defence, in which he denied everything like moral guilt, and alleged that the cause of death was occasioned by the deceased not taking a sufficient number of the pills. Mr. Justice ' Pattison commenced at half- past seven o'clock to charge the Jury, and proceeded to state the nature of the charge and the law of the case. His Lordship cited the case of Mr. St. John Long, and the opinion of the Judges thereon, as a guide to them in the present case. He certainly did not think that the count which charged the prisoner with negligence was proved, as it appeared on all hands that the prisoner had paid the deceased great attention, and visited him daily. His Lordship then proceeded at great length to read over and comment upon the evidence, and concluded at a quarter to ten o'clock. The Jury, after consulting for a quarter of an hour, requested to retire; and at 25 minutes past ten o'clock re- entered the Court, and found the prisoner Guilty, joined with a recommendation to mercy, on the ground of his not berng the compounder, but merely the vender, of the pills.

PORTSMOUTH, April 5.— Admiral Sir Philip Charles Henderson Durham, G. C. B., the new Commander- in- Chief at this port, arrived here from London on Sunday, and this morning hoisted his flag •{ blue at the main) on board the Britannia, 120, which ship was paid off yesterday, and re- commissioned this day by Capt. Deans Dundas, Flag Captain. Admiral Sir Thomas Williams resigned the command last evning.— Brighton Gazette, The barque Mart/, belonging to Mr. Deaves, of Cork, caught fire on the 1st of April, and in less than two hours the vessel was one mass of flame. The entire cargo, consisting of 1,260 bales of cotton, • was consumed. The stores on board were worth about 3,0001. The cargo, valued at 14,0001., is insured in London and France. Brighton has been thrown into a state of excitement by the annual election of Churchwardens, from the circumstance of the proceedings assuming a political character. Two Conservatives were opposed to two Radicals, and the nomination took place in the parish Church on Monday, when a scene of uproar ensued most disgraceful to the town. At the close of the poll the numbers stood thus:— Halford ^ Conservative), 1,728; Cheeseman ( Conservative), 1,769; Good ( Radical), 1,524; Chittenden ( Radical), 1,617. Thursday morning, at six o'clock, a meeting took place in a field at the back of Copenhagen- house, between Captain B—, a half- pay officer, and E. G—, Esq., a gentleman connected with the Stock Ex- change. At the above- named hour the Captain, attended by his friends, arrived on the ground, followed in a few minutes afterwards by'Mr. G. The friends on both sides endeavoured to effect an ami- cable arrangement, but without success. _ At the first discharge Mr. G. received the contents of his antagonist's pistol in his right arm. The Captain immediately advanced to Mr. G., who shook hands with him. The Captain and his friends then quitted the ground; and Mr. G., after having had his wounds dressed by a surgeon who at- tended him, proceeded to his home in a chaise that was m waiting for him. The cause of the meeting arose from some Stock Exchange transaction. Late on Tuesday night, or early the' following morning, a most daring and extensive robbery was perpetrated in G eorge- street, Ham- mersmith, in the house of Mr. Joseph Shepperd, jeweller and silver- smith. From the locks and padlock of _ the front door being found quite safe, it is conjectured that the thieves contrived to enter the snop previous to its being shut at night, or afterwards obtained access by means of false keys. Four drawers containing gold rings, brooches, < fec., were entirely emptied of their contents, and a saperb tea service was taken from the shelves, as well as other articles ot plate. Friday morning a dreadful cabriolet accident occurred in the New- road, St. Marylebone, to Captain Cutler and his lady, residing in York- square, Regent's Park.

On entering the New- road the animal became restive, and set off at a furious rate; Captain C. jumped out of the cabriolet for the purpose of endeavouring to stop the horse, but fell on his head; the horse being at full liberty, ran the cabriolet against a waggon- wheel, which instantly overset it, and the lady was thrown out with tremendous violence. ' Both were conveyed home in a state of insensibility, the Captain having received a dreadful concussion of the brain, and the unfortunate lady having had her arm fractured in two places. The horse was at length stopped. The cabriolet was much shattered The groom escaped without any injury by alight- ing from behind the cabriolet. The following extraordinary occurrence is related in the Sheffield Mercury:— Emma Derben, a servant to Mr. Scragg, a farmer, living in Catharine- fields, in the parish of Norton- in- the- Moors, went to Chell ( about a mile from Scragg's house), on some business. Returning home rather late in the evening she borrowed a lantern and umbrella. The light being extinguished, unfortunately she lost her • way in the fields, and became perplexed and much agitated, the night being dark and exceedingly tempestuous. After wandering about for some time she unfortunately slipped into an old coal pit about twenty yards deep, fenced round and overgrown with briers. It is supposed her fall was much broken by the wind gathering under her clothes, and by the umbrella, which she held open. She found herself nearly up to her waist in water at the bottom of the pit, where she remained during the whole of that night; but on Friday morning, finding the rain descending rapidly, and the water pouring upon her, she sought refuge in an excavation a short distance from the bottom of the pit. This place, however, began to fill with water so rapidly as to render it unsafe to remain. She returned to the mouth of the pit again on the morning of Friday, when the water rose up to her neck. In this state she remained the whole of that day and night, and until she was taken out on the following day, calling aloud for help till her voice utterly failed. Her master and others had been searching for her the greater part of Friday, but without effect. On Saturday morning, resuming the search, they came to the pit, where they from the top of the pit, discovered an umbrella, which she was holding over her head. Ropes were let down, but she was in such a state of exhaustion as to be unable to support herself by the rope. A person was imme- diately let down, who brought her up; but she was in such a state of ex- treme debility as to render it exceedmgly doubtful if she could survive. The prisoners in the gaol at Exeter under sentence of death made a desperate attempt to escape ii the early part of last week. They had cut the sticks of the brooms which they use in sweeping the yards off short, and when the keepers came to lock up they fell on them with the sticks, locked Governor Cole and another in a cell, and Wrested the keys away from the turnkey; in doing this the chain broke, and they lost the only key they wanted to release the other prisoners, so as to storm the outer gate. The other turnkey fancy- ing that Mr. Cole was a long time in locking up, went and found how matters stood; they soon released the Governor and subdued the prisoners, who have since been loaded with heavy irons. Avery, who is suspected of Mr. May's murder, convicted of highway robbery, was one of the ring- leaders. The prisoners acted under a preconcerted plan, having corresponded by tearing leaves out of their Bibles.

THEIR MAJESTIES continue in good health at Windsor, the QUEEN having entirely recovered from the late indispo- sition by which her MAJESTY was aflected. A FORTNIGHT ago we alluded to the extraordinary con- duct of Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK, previous to his departure from India. We had then the strongest reasons for saying no more than we did say. However, the facts and the results have now transpired, and, of course, the delicacy we then felt in making a more distinct statement of the circumstances in which his Lordship has placed the whole of British India by his unaccountable proceedings, no longer exists. The blow struck at the subordination of the army in Eng- land, and, consequently, at the existence of British influence in the vast territories which yet belong to the British Empire, is contained in the following General Order. " General Order of His Excellency the Right Hon. the Governor- General of India in Council. " Fort William, Feb. 24, 1835. " The Governor- General of India, in Council, is pleased to direct that the practice of punishing soldiers of the native army by the cat- o'- nine- tnils, or rattan, be discontinued at ull the Presidencies, and that it shall henceforth be competent to any regimental detachment, or brigade court- martial, to sentence a soldier of the native army to dismissal from the service, for any offence for which such soldier might now be punished by flogging, provided sncli sentence of dis- missal shall not be carried into effect unless confirmed by the general or other officer commanding the division. " WILLIAM CASEMENT, Col., " Secretary to the Government of India Military Department." The simple reading of this Order will, we think, satisfy the most unmilitary mind, that the exclusive exemption of the natives— black, brown, yellow, or copper- coloured, as the case may be, from the punishment of flogging, while the cat- o'- nine- tails is left to be exercised on the backs of his MAJESTY'S soldiers, and even of the white men in the East India Com- pany's European regiments, could not be particularly well received by the mass of troops which alone can be relied upon, and upon which alone the existence of the Leadenhall influence depends. However, Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK thinks it fine and liberal to abolish corporal punishment in the native regiments, because he knows nothing about them, and maintain it in the KING'S army, because he thinks lie knows a great deal about them. Upon this point, Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK, it seems, vin- dicates himself by saying, that he has discovered that expul- sion from the army is the greatest possible punishment to the Sepojr; and, therefore, he substitutes an ignominious dis- missal for flogging. This might go for something, if his Lord- ship did not try to prove too much, by adding, that the reason why this ignominious expulsion cannot be substituted for the cat, in English regiments, is because the men in these regi- ments would be too happy to be expelled, in order to be sent home free of expense. This— we will not. call it by a harsher name— is twaddle— twaddle of the lowest order— Conjy- water nine times diluted. The English soldier is avowedly happier in India than in any other part of the world. In barracks, he generally marries and settles— or sometimes settles without marrying; but then he forms connexions and friendships which, after a time, attach him to the soil. When he marches— if he have not a Kitmagur — he has a bettermost sort of Cooley to carry his musquet — a Beasty to bear his knapsack— one or two anxious females to wait upon his biped Brown Bess, who invariably travels with him— and if he have any young blunderbusses, in the shape of walnut- stocked babies, Ayalis proportionate to their wants and wishes : his Maty cooks his curry, and if he be in the country, his Syce cuts his grass— in short, he enjoys luxu- ries which, although the heat of the climate may render them more or less necessary, carry with them an ease and import- ance to which the private soltlier in Europe never can attain. As a proof of the questionable character of Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK'S policy, who certainly lias shown 110 practical anxiety to quit India, we need only mention the fact, which lias already been stated in the Times, and whence, for bre- vity's sake, we borrow it, in the following words :— We, says the Times, need only appeal to the experience of those officers who have served in India for corroboration of the fact, that when, by the natural changes incidental to the service, the British soldiers have the option ot returning home, they prefer enlisting either in the newly- arrived regiment relieving, or in some other regiment whose term of duty has not expired. Take, for instance, the 17th Light Dragoons, which, when relieved in 1822 by the 4th Light Dragoons, were so far from experiencing the " delight" mentioned by Lord W. BENTINCK, that no fewer than 220, as we are informed, out of a regiment less than BOO strong, volunteered into the 11th and 16th Light Dragoons, the latter having just arrived, and the former having only completed three years of a service the average of which may be stated at from 15 to 20 years. Takinginto the account the enlistments into the 4th Light Dragoons, the 17th, then under orders for England, left full one- half of its strength behind. However, twaddle is a very harmless composition, and what Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK says is of no very great conse- quence, as his Lordship himself seems to imagine his Glasgow constituents think, for he is, we believe, again off for Paris, having only come over for the holidays when the House of Commons was up. What does the mischief, is the power of acting, not of talking; and this we know, that in consequence of the very wise and sagacious General Order which we have just quoted, the punishment of a soldier of the Royal Artillery was stopped by the commanding officer in deference to the feelings of the men whom lie commanded. We expect to hear of many such instances, and we have good reason for the expectation. Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK has done more mischief by the step he has taken in this matter than years of prudence and wisdom in any other Government will be able to repair. WE have heard the often- repeated declarations of his MA- JESTY'S Ministers on the subject of non- intervention and neutrality— the agitated replies of Lord MELBOURNE to unan- swerable questions— the flippancy of MINA'S friend Lord PALMERSTON— and the reckless declarations of the author of Don Carlos. There could have been no difficulty, except in the coarse- ness of the expression necessary to do it effectually, in show- ing the value of these answers and avowals. Truth always triumphs at last, and now, through the medium of a foreign paper, the Phare de Bayonne, of yesterday se'nniglit, we re- ceive it. That paper gives the following letter, written by Lord JOHN HAY to General CORDOVA, dated Santander, March 24 :— " Excellency,— I hasten to inform you that I have this moment received orders from the Government of his Britannic Majesty to afford your Excellency, and the troops which you command, THE MOST ACTIVE AND EFFICACIOUS CO- OPE- RATION in preventing the fortresses 011 this coast, which display the flag of Queen ISABELLA II., from falling into the power of the troops OF THE PRETENDER, AND ALSO IN RETAKING FROM THE REBELS SUCH OF THESE PLACES AS MAY HAVE ALREADY FALLEN INTO THEIR HANDS. His Britannic Majesty's squadron has moreover received considerable rein- forcements of ships and troops from England, TOGETHER WITH ORDERS TO AID AND PROTECT ALL THE OPERA- TIONS WHICH YOUR EXCELLENCY MAY THINK PROPER TO UNDERTAKE ON THIS COAST. I have also to inform your Excellency, that all the ships under my command HAVE RECEIVED INSTRUCTIONS TO TAKE ON BOARD TROOPS OF HER MAJESTY ISABELLA II., AND CONVEY THEM TO ANY POINTS ON THE COAST. I have given to the officer who is the hearer of this letter every information as to the number of troops each ship can receive, and I entreat your Excellency TO BE ASSURED THAT ALL THE FORCES OF THIS SQUADRON WILL ACTIVELY' CO- OPERATE IN THE MOVEMENTS OF YOUR ARMY, AND THAT I SHALL HAVE A REAL SATISFACTION IN MEETING YOUR WISHES." We suppose that this is enough for those who, at any period of their lives, believed that this country was not, actively as well as passively, positively as well as negatively, engaged in the cause of the Queen of SPAIN. Good GOD !—- putting all political considerations aside— only think what has happened— only turn to reports of the debates in both Houses of Parliament, and see there, the recorded denials, flat, unqua- lified, and unconditional, of his MAJESTY'S Ministers, as to anything like a violation of the neutrality, eujoined and enforced by the Quadruple Treaty. What can be thought of them ? We are not speaking of the Members of the Government merely as Ministers— we are not referring to their political views or their public conduct— we only ask, after a reference to their official and authoritative statements, and a comparison of those state- ments with Lord JOHN HAY'S letter, what is to be thought of their characters as gentlemen and men of honour? This is a new specimen of theantipathy to " pitch- touching," of which in another case we heard so much. How is it to be accounted for— how vindicated— how explained ? We ask the question here— the same question will we are sure be asked by others elsewhere. Whether with a better chance of success, we do not pretend to guess. But, while we are upon this subject, we may as well notice one feature of the case, which requires neither question nor answer— or, if it do, the answer follows the question as quickly as the report after the flash. The Ministerial papers cry out bitterly against the infamy of permitting the Carlists to shoot British seamen. Infamous it would indeed be, if British seamen were, as the Treaty binds them to be, neutral; but here we have Lord JOHN HAY, a most excellent British sea- man, as far as that goes, promulgating, in print, the orders he has received from the British Government to afford " the most active and effective co- operation," & c. & c., and per- sonally pledging himself to " co- operate actively," & c.—- Why, what follows? Lord JOHN HAY, and every sailor, of whatsoever degree he may be, under his Lordship's command, are as liable, legally, fairly, and honourably, to be killed by the troops of the King of SPA IN, as so many Frenchmen would be who were invading Ireland under the orders of Louis PHI- LIPPE, t- o establish Mr. O'CONNELL 011 the Hibernian throne. All that bluster is now at an end— ENGLAND IS ACTUALLY' AT WAR WITH Don CARLOS, and Lord JOHN HAY has the credit of honestly and fairly announcing it to the world. THE Ministerial papers are, each after its fashion, cavilling at the appointment of Lord BRUDENELL to the 11th Dra- goons— not because there is any reason why his Lordship should not be appointed to that, or any other regiment in the KING'S service— not because, in order to show his desire and readiness to relinquish the ease and comfort which his personal rank and station afford him in England, for the sake of service, he abandons bis country and proceeds to India— not, in fact, for any one single reason connected with the particular individual case; but because it is a part of the revolutionary system to abridge the KING'S pre- rogative in regard to the army, and to induce a Parliamentary appointment of a responsible Minister in the shape of a Com mander- in- Chief. How short a time is it, since we heard the abolition of the establishments at the Horse Guards openly talked of, with the entire reduction of the offices of the Adjutant and Quartermaster- General, and the submission of the army of England to the control of the Secretary- at- War ? What is now the object of the liberal— tile revolutionary O'CONNELL Government? The revival of that proposition, founded upon what they vainly hope is a favourable case to move upon. The points which Mr. O'CONNELL proposes to carry, are daily developing themselves ; but none are so glaringly evi- dent as that of abridging the Royal prerogative. We have already seen the power of the KING to nominate his own Ambassadors questioned, and although by the high and honourable conduct of one of the bravest of men, the ques- tion never came to a trial, the point was conceded. The next question is the command of the army, and that ques- tion lies in a nut- shell. Is the army of England to be the King's army, or a Parliamentary army ? With all our his- torical recollections about us, we confess, compressed as the question is, it is a most awful one. But that such is the point to which we are to be led, or driven, there can be no earthly doubt. All we ask— all we inquire— is, when is the stand to be made against all these innovations ?— or, if we may again ask a question which we have previously put, what is the difference between a series of innovations and a revolution ? In the military world the alleged death of the Earl of CATHCART has made a great stir, and given rise to a thousand suggestions and propositions. We believe we can congratulate our readers upon the fact that the gallant Earl has not yet afforded an opportunity for the realisation of any of these schemes, being at this moment alive and well. whole of his lingering indisposition, Mr. O'CONNELL never took the trouble to call on him, or pay him the slightest attention, although those who were diametrically opposed to him in politics— Colonel PERCEVAL, Mr. SHAW.* and several other Conservative Irish Members— had been in the constant habit of inquiring after him during the decline of his health. We are further told that Mr. RUTHVEN felt this neglect deeply, which, coupled with other circumstances, which we will not touch upon now— had induced him to declare to those, who did take the trouble to visit and see him, that if he recovered, his first act would he a public renunciation of the politics which he had for so long a time maintained. THE remains of Mr. RUTHVEN, the late Member for Dub- lin, have been removed from his house in Westminster for interment in Ireland. This fact we find recorded amongst the news of the day; but we cannot permit it to pass unno- ticed, or unaccompanied by a remark upon the conduct of Mr. O'CONNELL, his colleague, connected with the circum- stance of his illness and death. We are told— we speak under correction— that during the THE report of making three Commissioners of the Post- Office, in lieu of one Postmaster- General, is revived— and Mr. STEUART is already named as one of the, three. The first great political act of Lord MULGRAVE, when he was Lord NORMANBY, and ratted to Whiggery, was abolishing one Postmaster out of two— How surprised his Lordship must be to find his reducing colleagues now making three Postmasters out of one! THE Ministerial papers are most anxious to have it be- lieved, that so far from any difficulty having arisen in raising the additional number of seamen, which our neutral econo- mizing Government have got voted, that there never existed a greater eagerness and earnestness for entering than at this moment; This, although a Ministerial statement, is a false one. We have before shown the many just causes for the disin- clination to the sea- service which sailors feel, and if we look upwards, we can easily imagine that that disinclination is not confined to the lower ranks of tile noble profession. We believe that the KING— whose heart is in the service, and who feels, as NELSON did, " every inch a sailor"— has been long anxious for a promotion, but Mr. O'CONNELL'S first Lord— Lord MINTO— represents that it would cost forty, or perhaps, fifty thousand pounds. What a sum to put against the desirable object of bringing forward excellent active officers for service, to say nothing of the positive justice of the act, as it relates to those who are now getting past their work. One of ( he appointments, which has made the greatest noise, and certainly not of approbation, in the profession, is that of the Hon. Captain BOUVERIE to the Vanguard. This officer, besides his half- pay, receives 7001. per annum as a Colonel of Marines. He made a fortune in prize- money in the last American war, in the Medusa. He has had— which to a brave man is always a misfortune— few opportunities of distinguishing himself in service; and he is fifty- six years old. Now this Colonel of Marines, with 7001. a- year— his half- pay. and a fortune made in the service, is appointed to one of the squadron now fitting out. Why— because he is poor ? No. Because he is young and active ? No. Because lie has seen a great deal of service ? No. Why then, we ask, is he fixed upon by the O'CONNELL Board of Admiralty to command the crack two- decker of the Navy ? We suppose the answer is superfluous— we give it, neverthe- less. The Hon. Captain BOUVERIE is brother of the ultra- Radical Earl of RADNOR, celebrated, from his early days of strawberry- eating to the present moment, as the avowed, systematic opponent, not ouly of Toryism, or Conservatism, but of the members of the Royal Family itself. Such claims of course are not to be overlooked by the O'CONNELL Board. CHANGES and innovations are now so completely the order of the day, that country cousins, once removed, are not always aware of the extent to which their rights and privileges are tampered and trifled with by political partisans, without either their consent or knowledge. Of this agreeable uncertainty Lord JOHN RUSSF, LL' 3 Marriage Bill is a remarkable specimen. The Bill professes to be brought in to relieve Dissenters from the alleged hard- ship of being married by Clergymen ofthe Established Church. But perhaps Churchmen are hardly aware that this boon to the Dissenters ( if indeed the Dissenters will esteem it one) is to be afforded them by a considerable tax upon both the time and pockets of the members of the Establishment. Instead of the present method of publishing banns of mar- riage, the new Bill proposes that every person uxoriously inclined shall proceecl to the house of the District Registrar—- a new officer to be appointed and salaried under the General Registration Bill— and shall take with him to this District Registrar some person who is to be equally well known to the Registrar and himself. He shall have his name, and the name of the person to whom he is to be married, entered in the Registrar's book, for which lie is to pay one shilling, and call again twenty- one days after, and obtain a certificate that the names have been in the Registrar's books the prescribed time — unless he should in the meantime have received a letter by post to inform him that a caveat has been entered against his proposed marriage by somebody, no matter whom, which puts a stop to the proceedings as far as that Registrar is con- cerned, in which case the patient will in all probability try another office, and pay another shilling, and wait another three weeks. Well, then he gets his certificate, and if he be a Churchman he is to take it to the Parson and get married— in which proceeding we confess we see very little dissimilitude from that which he has to undergo as the law stands at present; but instead of putting in his banns and being married on the Monday morning after he has been out- asked, lie must wait three weeks, make two journies to the Registrar's bouse, which he reaches, " After walking six long miles," accompanied by a friend, whom he has the pleasure of fee- ing and feeding to undertake the job, merely for the satisfac- tion of introducing him to the Registrar, to whom he must previously be known. So much for the bridegroom elect— what will the bride say to the change ? This is a question we cannot pretend to an- swer; but this we know, that although, as far as the lady is concerned, the alteration is scarcely perceptible to the naked eye, the fact is, that the publication of banns is part of the Church service, and can only be dispensed with by the Bishop's licence. This Bill will have the effect ( although it does not profess it) of doing away with the publication of banns alto- gether. But however objectionable the Bill may be in these re- spects, it is its profaneness which must infallibly stamp its character in the mind and opinion of every good Churchman, and we will venture to add, perhaps to Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S surprise, of every conscientious Dissenter. The Bill pro- poses to make a covenant, contracted in Lord JOHN RUS- SELL'S farm of words, in the office of the Clerk of the Poor Law Unions, of equal validity with a real marriage. It terms all such covenants " marriage," and proceeds to April 10. JOHN BULL: 117 enact, that " every such marriage shall be recognised AS IF IT WERE A MARRIAGE SOLEMNIZED IN THE CHURCH, BY GOD'S APPOINTED MINISTER, IN THE WORDS OP IN- SPIRATION." Let parents reflect upon this monstrous proceeding ; let all those who love peace and comfort, and who have partaken of the blessings of matrimony, contracted under the solemn sanction of the ALMIGHTY, bear it in mind ; let them remem- ber that the abolition of the sanctity of marriage was one of the fearful events which characterised the progress of the French revolution. Let those who compose the great Council of the Kingdom remember that England, even yet, stands high as a moral and religious nation, and we think tliey will hardly be induced, at Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S bidding, to prostitute the sacred name of marriage to designate a state, which, in truth, will be no other than a state of legalised incontinency. THERE is always a clown in a pantomime, who knocks his head against the door, and tumbles on his nether end, and grins, and distorts his limbs, and does, in short, a thousand feats to make the ridiculous performance more ridiculous still. In the pantomime of rail- roads— in which the tricks are innumerable— there is a clown, one, so super- eminently ri- diculous, that if GRIMALDI were still young and active enough to wear his blue tuft and wafer- dotted unmention- ables, he would be jealous. The scheme to which we allude is one, called by the sounding name of an INTERNATIONAL RAILWAY— LONDON, PARIS, BRUSSELS, by DOVER and CALAIS; and there are blanks left in the prospectus ( and likely to be left), for the names of French patrons, and Belgian patrons, and provincial directors, and all the rest of it; and the beginning of the suggestion is, that people are to go to Croydon in the first instance as the shortest way to Belgium. CROYDON seems an odd starting point for Brussels; however, the prospectus infers that LONDON has something to do with it : how much, we may venture to guess, by finding that the railroad communication with London is disavowed before the Committee to whom the Bill is referred. As to Brussels and Paris, they will come of course when once the sea is crossed; but we must say that the GRIMALDI railroad, which renders it necessary to proceed by the old mode of travelling to Croydon in order to be steamed to Brussels, is very much like the paying a shilling to be rattled in an omnibus from London to a field in Bermondsey- marsh, in order to climb up a flight of stairs to be rattled along the railroad to Deptford, at which place the traveller is suddenly ejected, his object being Greenwich ( after which town the absurdity is delu- sively named), which it neither does, nor, thanks to the wisdom of Parliament, ever will reach ; so that what with the coloured hearse through the city before you get to the starting place in the bog, the climb up the stairs, and the wearisome walk through the mud of the Lower- road to Greenwich after you come down again, you would save exactly six pennies and three quarters of an hour, if you stepped into a fast going coach at the Shoulder of Mutton or the Salopian at Charing- cross, and went slap bang to Greenwich itself, for the trifling charge of one shilling. This is absurd for a short affair, and a matter of joke; but the railroad from Croydon to Brussels, for a serious concern and a long business, " beats Banuagher," as Mr. O'CONNELL says. EPITAPH FOR THE LATE T, CHIMPANZEE, ESQ. TO JOHN BULL. SIR,— In your Paper of last Sunday you oblige your readers with an Epitaph, " written" ( as you say) " in the Trog language, for" the late lamented Mr. T. CHIMPANZEE. This you state to have been sent over from France by Dr. BOWRING. NOW, Sir, from the loose wording of your statement, your readers are left in doubt as to whether Dr. BOWRING himself preteuds to have composed the Epi- taph, or whether he has done no more than transmit it as the work of some other poet. The Doctor, as a Radical and a gentleman, is incapable of an attempt at imposition, especially in a matter of lite- rature, where not much is to be got by it: the equivocation, therefore ( to use the mildest epithet that occurs to me), I must consider as your own wilful and deliberate act, for the wicked purpose of injuring the character of that learned, good, and great man. The Epitaph is, in fact, no more than a translation, by no means correct or elegant ( from the Aooiee tongue), of the celebrated one on the famous EEOIA, and can hardly be rendered applicable te the late illustrious deceased. Indeed the sixth line, as given in the translation, " Et eu Et eu Et eu Et eu," alludes to a circumstance, which could not by possibility have occurred to him ; whilst " Trog" is an impudent substitution. But, in order to remove all doubt on the subject, I send you the original, leaving it to your readers to decide on the merits of the question. Oo. Eei. aaai. oyyei. ey. Ieaeioaoia ei yaeioyeieaaa iaoiau " Oiy— oiy," Aeioiya " Oiy— oiy." Eee aaa yyy yaoieoa Yaoiaeyiiea Aeioayeaai Ie ua ie au uyoi Oi a oi e, Oi a oi e Eeoia Oaeioceyyyouuayeeiaae. Without entering into a long criticism on the translation, I shall just observe, that the picturesque and spirit- stirring epithet iaoiau ( in the second line) is so feebly rendered by Phrn in the copy you have published, and that the grammatical blunders in it are so nu- merous— especially the use adverbially of the adjective Koo— that those alone are sufficient to acquit Dr. BOWRING— a man who has devoted so much of his time to the acquisition of the unknown languages as to leave him almost ignorant of any other— of the suspicion of any share whatever in it.— I am, Sir, your obedient servant, EUSEBIUS SCROGS. Gray's Inn- lane- Universal Knowledge Society, April 6, 1836. Having submitted this letter, with every desire to vindicate the character of Dr. BOWRING from any imputation— still however contending that the " Ph" in " Phlatnos" is correct in " Trog," we request the reader's attention to matter of more importance. In searching amongst the papers— for the lite- rary propensities of our lamented friend have come to light— of the late TROGLODYTES NIGER, a will has been found, and a vast accumulation of notes,. modestly called " Drivellings by the Way," for which we have offered infinitely more than the fee simple of the author himself at the time of his purchase by Captain WOOD. If we succeed in obtaining the MSS., we shall occasionally submit them to our readers. The will has not yet been proved— but we believe the fol- lowing to be a true copy:— " I declare this to be the last will and testament of me, TROGLO- NVTES NIGER, commonly called THOMAS GAMBIA CHIMPANZEE, Esq. " I give and bequeath to my executor the sum of five pounds, to be expended in cocoa nuts, sherry ( if good), sugar, and milk, fo the benefit of any of my family or race who may hereafter be brought to this country. " I give and bequeath to the Right Honourable SPRING RICE my Guernsey shirt, thinking it may fit him; or, at least, as he is often put to his shifts in financial matters, that it may be of use; but I desire, that before it is transmitted to him, my respected tailor, Mr. NUGEE, may be ordered to put four inches of extra collar to it, in order to suit the fashion which Mr. SPRING RICE adopts ; and I de- sire it may be, as soon as possible after my death, forwarded to the Right Honourable Gentleman at his residence, Number 5, Alleyn's- row, Dulwich, which he calls ' The Casino.' " Idirectmy executor to apply to my Council for means to erect three almshouses for the reception of decayed Trogs who may hereafter be in this country, as I am conscious of the absolute necessity of providing a receptacle for such persons when incapacitated by age or indis- position for swinging, turning round, or playing other engaging antics, by which, like myself, they have got to the top of the tree. 1 beg, also, that the Right Honourable HENRY, JOHN, VISCOUNT PAL- MERSTON, G. C. B., one of his Majesty's principal Secretaries of State for Foreign Affairs, will condescend to accept the office of Patron of this benevolent institution. " Item.— I leave my bed to the Right Honourable CHARLES BARON GLENELG, for whom I have a great personal regard, not only for his mildness and gentleness of character, but because his title spells the same backwards and forwards, which, to a Trog, who generally reads standing on his head, is a most endearing attribute. " Item.— I wish, for the advancement of science— the furtherance of which brought me here— that my body should be dissected ; and I trust that from the many marks of brotherly affection 1 have received from Mr. JOSEPH HUME, and for whom I feel a sympathetic esteem, that Honourable Gentleman willnot object to perform the operation. It is said the longest liver sees most, but if an inspection of mine can throw any new lights upon natural history, I shall be quite satisfied. " Item.— My brains, of which I am led to supposel possess a. very considerable quantity, 1 bequeath to the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge; and being anxious to give some support to a failing concern, I direct that my remains shall be deposited under the dome of the University of Stinkomalee, No. 54, Upper Gower- street, opposite Carmarthen- street, Tottenham Court- road ; and it is my particular wish that the Principal, professors, and all the pupils and students of that seminary, should attend my funeral, for which pur- pose I request my executor to provide four, or five ( as the case may be) mourning coaches, to bring them all up to my rooms, and convey them bank from these gardens, to my burial place. " I make this request with greater earnestness, because, if my life should be spared, after that dreadful dose of mercury, which has nearly upset me, it is my intention to matriculate at that Academy: the religious principles of which, very closely resemble those which I imbibed in infancy from my much lamented surviving parent. " I regret that nature has not in its bounty bestowed upon me a tail; if she had, I should have endeavoured to strengthen the Ministry of Lord MELBOURNE by bequeathing it to him, whom, of all the Minis- ters I have seen, I like tliq best. It is true Mr. O'CONNELL has been very liberal to his Lordship in this respect, but as I find the English have a proverb which says ' two heads are better than one,' I do not see why it should not equally apply to tails ; more especially as it seems probable that the Irish tail may, at no great distance of time, drop off. " To the two or three excellent and exemplary gentlemen who shot my late amiable mother, and sold me for four shillings and nine- pence halfpenny and two bottles of rum, 1 feel, notwithstanding the violence of the act, considerable gratitude, inasmuch as by the dis- persion of what Mr. O'CONNELL would call ' the murky mists of prejudice,' the character of Trogism is wonderfully exalted in my mind. I had been taught that Trogs were very inferior persons— what have I seen ?— a race of people who, when we were savage and un- enlightened, were gallant, honourable, and talented, now the willing dupes of fraud, superstition, and rapine, under the control of an animal who, in Gambia, would not be allowed to go loose, and who, if he were seen with a tail, would be carried off for ' the advancement of science.' I love a potato— but I do not love O'CONNELL, and I wonder anybody should. " As to the Ministers here, they remind me of snails; they devour everything within their reach, and beslime and disfigure whatever is beyond it; but to show that I bear no malice, and that my private affections are not to be shaken by my public feelings, I nominate and appoint the Right Honourable Lord JOHN RUSSELL, one of his MAJESTY'S principal Secretaries of State for the Home Department, my sole executor; and for his trouble in fulfilling the wishes herein contained, 1 give and bequeath to his Lordship the little cap which 1 have worn ever since my arrival here, and in which I desire his Lordship may always sleep, so that I may die in the belief that, although I have myself been called from this world, there will still be left ' for the advancement of science' a living record of his affec- tionate friend. " I am grieved that I have nothing to bequeath to FULLER, and HUNT, and my dear old nurse, better than my good wishes. I am much indebted to them for all their kindnesses, as well as to several excellent gentlemen belonging to my council and. establishment, to whom in like manner I leave my kind regards. " This is written on one sheet of paper in my own hand, and signed by me, and is to have the full effect of my last will and tes- tament to all intents and purposes relating to the same. ( Signed) " TROGLODYTES NIGER. " Commonly called T. G. CHIMPANZEE. " Dated March 1, 1836. " I might have had this witnessed; but I did not like to trust any- body with the secret of my being able to write. " T. N." the rest of the Royal Family"— and " FLOREAT RUGBCEA," with all the honours. The Head- Master, ARNOLD himself, was given, as a matter of etiquette. The toast passed without observation by any, was cheered by a few, and refused by more. But, as the Head- Master was not there to return thanks, and nobody volunteered the task, the Under- Masters were then toasted — not one was present— and all was mute. Then followed the " Speakers"— two of those were there, but, too well aware of the consequences to which they would be subjected, if they proclaimed their presence by making their acknowledgments as usual, they hurried out of the room. The succeeding toasts we have not room to particularise; many a happy allusion was made to those olden times when sound principles were instilled by the venerable and respected men, now gone to their long account, who had successively and successfully filled the Master's chair. Dr. ARNOLD— who, although the cause of our expulsion from the public news- room, constantly reads us— will see that we have fairly recorded the complete failure of his attempt to struggle against orthodox feelings and constitutional opi- nion. " He has learned a lesson which he will not easily forget. Last year he discovered that the expression of displeasure ma- nifested by the old Rugboeans at the abandonment of sound principles could not be stifled by his presence. This year he has discovered the utter impotence of his endeavours to silence the voice of loyalty and veneration for the Church even by his absence. The meeting passed off, as all such meetings should, with uninterrupted good- humour; and so long as Dr. ARNOLD and his masters stay away, it will continue to do so every year. The Doctor's luncheon was worthy ofGuNTER, and did honour to the School; and it was very prudent, if not liberal, in the Under- Masters, to subscribe their six guineas each, in order to protect themselves and their leader from any unpleasant ob- servations upon their principles and conduct. We could, however, wish to see a very different course pursued; and we believe we only reiterate the wishes of Dr. ARNOLD'S best friends, when we say that it would be not only more credit- able to himself, but more respectable in those with whom he is associated, if his character and conduct needed no such machinery as a dejeuner a la fourcliette, to rescue them from the censure, not only of all Rugbceans, but of every man in England of right feeling, who has taken the trouble to devote his attention to the practice and proceedings of that once im- portant school. EVERY arrival from the United States, since the 13tli of March last, has proved the strict propriety of our raising, on that day, a warning voice in respect of their ci devant National Bank. In truth, every hour teems in the United States with events, whose bearings on the interests of this country are of vast and transcendant importance. To use a favourite phrase in America, our dear Brother JONATHAN is " walking in to us" to the tune of many millions of pounds sterling. The capital of the United States' Bank was thirty- five mil- lions of dollars, of which, seven millions were held in shares by the United States' Government; and more than one- half of the remainder was, and is, held by the ladies and gentle- men of England, who think more about the amount of divi- dends, than about the security for the repayment of the prin- cipal money advanced. In this state of things the Charter of the Bank expires, and the Government on the spot, contrives to get money, or money's worth, for the full amount of its shares; and the local legislature of Pennsylvania— of which legislature, every one of the directors of the Bank is a member — contrives to be paid also in full about one- tenth of the whole of its capital, as the price of a local Charter, which local Charter, the said Directors, Senators, and recipients of one- tenth of the capital, would fain make us believe, is precisely the same thing as the original Charter granted by all of the States in confederation. In anticipation of all this, our trusty and right well- beloved cousin, NICHOLAS BIDDLE, ci devant Governor of this Na- tional Bank, has contrived to sell the shareholders' interests— their outstanding claims in fact— in certain branches of the establishment to his ci devant clerks in, and conductors of, those branches, who have given in exchange for those out- standing claims, which were payable on demand, bills at two, three, and even four years' dates, which bills the said NICHOLAS has negociated in London ; and thus, in billology parlance, lie, the said NICHOLAS, has nicely " buttered his bacon." In anticipation also of the winding up of the affairs of this Bank, the said NICHOLAS has contrived to lend— in paper liabi- lities— about one hundred millions of dollars to the " citizens," who draw on one another bills of exchange, without the inconve- nience of stamps, and who, when those bills become due de- mand their renewal, or " go the whole hog" whenever the said NICHOLAS or his confederates supplicate their " sweet voices" in an election of delegates to Congress, or to the local legis- lature ol Pennsylvania, as the case may be. Under such circumstances we must leave it to the common sense of our readers to consider what they had better do with United States' Bank Scrip. LITERATURE. RUGBY. NEVER was there a more gentlemanly triumph of Conser- vative principles over Infidelity and Radicalism, than has been achieved at Rugby under the auspices of the Rev. JOHN PEEL and his fellow Steward, in the complete defeat of the attempt to put a stop to the old Rugby Meeting at Easter. In vain did Dr. ARNOLD— the Bishop elect of Lichfield and Coventry ?— invite the Stewards to his own dinner table; in vain were tempting luncheons spread— and we must admit that no expense was spared to make the bait alluring— in vain were the Under- Masters commanded not to attend the ordi- nary ; in vain were the Speakers prohibited from appealing there; all these manoeuvres tended only to cast a slur upon the great contriver of the expected overthrow. The ordinary did take place, as usual, even thus shorn of some of its visitants. The first toast given by Mr. PEEL was " Church and KING"— drunk with enthusiasm ; as were the healths of " The QUEEN"—" The Princess VICTORIA, and We have read with deep interest Lady CHARLOTTE BURY'S beauti- ful novel, called The Devoted. It exhibits throughout the same ten- derness of thought and excellence of purpose which invariably cha- racterise her Ladyship's writings. To say that it is the best novel of its class of the present season, is not to say half as much as it deserves, since, as far as the season is yet gone, novelties in the novel line are extremely scarce. Of the periodical literature of the age in which we live, it is im- possible to speak too highly. A comparison of the mass of intelli- gence and information, so seasonably varied by works of fiction and poetry, with the miscellanies and magazines of half a century ago, is enough to make a general reader wonder how and by what means so important a body of materials can be regularly collected and brought before the public, as that which we have at this mo- ment lying before us. Blackwood, Fraser, and the Dublin Uni- versity Magazine, take the lead in political matters. The New Monthly has contributions from CAMPBELL, Mrs. HALL, POOLE, L. E. L., and many other acknowledged favourites. The United Service Journal maintains its high professional and literary cha- racter ; and the Metropolitan gives us a continuation of " Snarley Yow," which seems to increase in humour and spirit as it proceeds. To the editor of the British Magazine the sincere thanks of every right- thinking man are justly due, for the piety and constancy with which the Church, her cause, and her ministers are vindicated against the attacks and calumnies of her enemies and betrayers. The elaborated History and Description of the late Houses of Par- liament, by Messrs. BRITTON and BRAYLEY, is concluded by the publication of the tenth number. It is a work of deep research, and 118 JOHN BULL. April 10. full of valuable and interesting matter, and attainable at a price so remarkably small, that we apprehend no person either having, or professing to have, a taste for architecture, or a respect for antiquity, will lose the opportunity of possessing a book so eminently calculated to throw a light upon both. Mr. MURRAY has just published the first volume of Correspondence and Despatches of the Marquess of tVellesley, a work wjiich cannot fail to command attention. The space which the Noble Marquess so long filled in the political world, the prominent positions he maintained, the great objects he achieved, the wisdom and foresight which he dis- played for so many years in the most important and varied characters, all give weight to this publication, in the pages of which will be traced the workings of a master- mind, through a period of the greatest interest to the British nation. The House of Commons, in the course of the last session of Parlia- ment, instituted an inquiry of a wholly unprecedent character into irregularities stated to have existed in the late elections of York and Yarmouth. During the progress of the inquiry, and pending the legal proceedings which were the result of it, we abstained from any lengthened comment upon either case. The termination of the pro- secutions conducted last week by the Attorney- General, at the Norwich Assizes, induces us briefly to review the circumstances of the transaction. We do not know were to look for a more dis- agreeable exhibition of mean hypocrisy, of factious malignity, or of abominable injustice. In the month of January, L'S35, Messrs. BARING and PRAF. D were returned Members for Great Yarmouth by a very large majority. The unsuccessful candidates, Colonel ANSON and Mr. RUMBOLD, had sat for the borongh eighteen years; and if any friend of these gentlemen shall assert in BROOKES'S Clubhouse that they held this seat, for this long period, by any other tenure than that of the purse, he will be received with a laugh which will spare us the pain of con- tradicting him. The judicious application of pecuniary resources was never more notorious in any borough than in Great Yarmouth for the eighteen years during which it confided its interests to two immaculate Whigs. Colonel ANSON and Mr. RUMBOLD, having so often purchased the borough, seem to have thought it could not be rescued from them but by purchase; and accordingly the return of Messrs. BARING and PRAEE was the signal for a prodigious clamour against bribery and corruption from men who ought not, without a blush, to pronounce the name of either. No petition was presented against the return of the Conservative Members. If any such petition had been presented, in the first place, witnesses in support of it would have been examined upon oath, and would have been liable, for mis- statements, to the penal- ties of perjury; in the second place, the petitioners, failing to show good grounds for their petition, would have been subjected, by the decision of the Committee, to the costs of the opposition to it. No such petition, therefore, was attempted. But in the month of J une a petition was presented from the borough of Great Yarmouth, setting forth several illegalities alleged to have taken place at the last election, and praying the adoption of the ballot foi their future prevention. Mr. RIGBY WASON, admitting that he had no reason to believe the sitting Members were concerned in these illegalities, and acknowledging that their proved participation in them could not at this period affect their seats, moved the appoint- ment of a Committee to inquire into the statements of the petition. The motion was opposed, on the ground that such an inquiry, not touching the right of the sitting Members to their seats, could issue in nothing but the promotion of criminal proceedings against such parties as the evidence tendered by the petitioners might implicate; and that it was unwise to wrest from the ordinary tribunals of crimi- nal judicature the functions which political factions in political cases could never fairly administer. To the uprightness and discretion of the Liberal majority this argument seemed absurd and obsolete; and a committee was appointed forthwith for the reception of whatever calumny and falsehood the disappointed Radicals of Great Yarmouth might invent or procure. The Committee was named by Lord JOHN RUSSELL; and we have satisfaction in stating that we believe the names of the Members who composed it were impartially selected. The Committee commenced their labours. The sitting Members, having an admission that their seats were not endangered, of course declined to incur the expense of Counsel or witnesses ; and the peti- tioners were allowed to prove the facts of the case as they best might. They were not interrupted, except by the cross- examination of their witnesses by an agent who attended on the part of certain electors of the borough, upon whom, in pursuance of an order of the committee, a notice had been served that they were about to be accused of cri- minal acts. The inquiry lasted for many weeks; and we believe such a mass of falsehood is rarely to be found as that which is contained in the volume of the evidence they collected. Witnesses, taken from the poorest class of voters, were induced by theprospect of a pleasant trip to the metropolis, to come before the committee, were supported in London at a guinea a day, and encouraged in the promulgation of the most extravagant lies by the impunity which attaches to an un- sworn calumny. At the close of the case of the petitioners, their op- ponents declined to examine any witnesses ; and the Committee pro- ceeded to report upon testimony adduced in support of the petition only. Let us look at their report. The attention of the Committee was called to various allegations, which we shall notice in their order. In the first place it was alleged that a general payment of two guineas was made, subsequent to the last election, to the electors • who had voted for the successful candidates. Upon this allegation the Committee reported " that it had been" generally admitted and proved that up to the period of the passing of the Reform Bill it had been an invariable practice, or nearly so, to pay two guineas to each voter who applied for it, and on each side of the question"— " that the general discontinuance of this practice at the election of 1832 was established to their satisfaction, though one or two wit- nesses deposed that several electors were paid portions of their vote money by the successful candidates at that election"—" that they were satisfied that in April and May last a sum of two guineas was paid to each elector who voted for the successful candidates at the last election, and applied for the same"—" that they saw no reason to believe that any unusual precaution was taken with, regard to this payment which could stamp it with a more clandestine character than on former occasions, or that any general promise or understanding previous to the election existed that it would take place"—" that much of the evidence, on the contrary negatived any such previous pro- mise." In debauchery Upon this allegation the Committee reported " that considerable j drnnkeness and excitement prevailed at, and for some time previous to, the election, but not more than might have been expected during a long protracted canvass, and a severely contested election"—" that considerable sums were expended by both parties in entertainments to the electors"—" that the total sum which the election cost the unsuc- cessful parties appears to have been about 3,3001.; that which it cost their opponents 5,6201., which, after deducting 1,2001. vote- money, leaves the general expenses of the election about 4,0001. ; that thus the expenditure, after making allowances for the expenses of chairing and other items to which successful candidates are exclusively sub- ject, would, in proportion to the number polled, very little, if at all, exceed the expenditure of the unsuccessful candidates, and would fall considerably short, on comparison, of the expenses of the successful candidates ( Messrs. ANSON and RUMBOLD) in December, 1832." In the third place, it was alleged that bribery was practised at the late election. And upon this allegation the Committee reported— " that they considered that allegation as established by the evidence adduced before them; but they did not consider that the evidence they had obtained had enabled them to extend the proof or presump- tion ef that fact beyond the statement of the petition, or to satisfy themselves that such practices were general or extensive on the part of those who supported the successful candidates." It is upon the strength of this report that corrupt practices are im- puted to the. Conservatives of Great Yarmouth— that the Destruc- tives of Great Yarmouth are painted all pure and perfect. The re- port states that the payment of two guineas to every voter had been habitual for years with fFhigsas well as Tories; that on this occasion considerable sums were expended by both parties in entertainments to the electors; that the expenditure of Messrs. BARING and PRAED at at the election of 1835 was lower, in proportion to the relative num- bers polled, than the expenditure of Colonel ANSON and Mr. RUM- BOLD at the election of1832— and that they saw no ground for any pre- sumption that bribery by the supporters of the Conservative cause was general or extensive. With this report before them, the pseudo- liberals of the day have been eulogizing the independence, the patri- otism, the integrity of the one party, and denouncing the profligacy, the iniquity, the venality of the other, as if the squandering of money and of malt liquor, which is abominable sin in a wicked Conservative, were laudable philanthropy in a genuine Reformer. It was moved and carried that the ATTORNEY- GENERAL be directed to prosecute all parties who should be implicated as principals in illegal acts by the evidence taken before the Committee. The com- mon law of the land provides ample remedy for the illegal acts of which complaint had been made. The offender is subject to an in- i dictment, which may subject him to alengthened imprisonment, and to an action for debt, by which he may be mulcted in a heavy fine. But the ordinary course of legal justice did not satisfy the vengeance of the Liberal majority. Nothing would content them but the em- ployment of the nation's purse and the King's Attorney in their piti- less warfare. Sir JOHN CAMPBELL selected four cases for prosecution; and Sir JOHN CAMPBELL, a capital lawyer and a stout partisan, no doubt selected the best. The four cases were tried at the Norwich Assizes on Thursday and Friday last, and the servant of the Commons of England did his utmost in the cause of his masters. What was the result ? The witnesses for the Crown were successively examined and cross- examined. For the defence Sir W. FOLLETT did not address a word to the Jury, did not examine a single witness; and, without waiting for the Judge's summing up, the four juries in the four cases returned verdicts of acquittal, and retired from the Court thoroughly disgusted with evidence which Mr. Justice PARK described as " the wickedest perjury he ever listened to in his life." We had intended here to quote some passages of the trials which called forth from liis Lordship this indignant censure. But we have not space for their insertion. But, at the conclusion of these unprece- dented and unjust efforts of our tyrannical majority to punish a few individuals for the guilt of their political independence, we must state a circumstance which we verily believed the Lords of his Majesty's Treasury will be sincerely sorry to remember. At the close of the investigation before the Committee the pro- moters of the petition applied to the Committeee for a recommenda- tion that their expenses should be paid. The opponents of the petition made a similar application. The Committee refused to make any recommendation in favour of either party. The promoters of the petition memorialised the Treasury upon the subject; and, if we are rightly informed, the whole of their expenses have been paid by an order of their Lordships. The opponents of the petition memorialised the Treasury for the payment of the single ex- pense of the copy of each day's proceedings, without which they could not possibly have attempted the defence to which the Committee invited them. Their Lordships, if we are rightly informed, declined to accede to the prayer of their memorial. Thus has the time of a Committee been wasted— the treasure of the nation spent— the subtlety of the Attorney- General exerted— for the institution against a few individuals of charges which, upon their own intrinsic weakness and wickedness, are almost hooted from a Court of Justice, with the condemnation of the Judge, the disgust of four honest juries, and the execration of a thronged audience. We ought not to conclude without noticing the fact that one of the most conspicuous of Mr. WASON and Sir JOHN CAMPBELL'S witnesses was appointed a constable (!) by the Radical town council of Yarmouth, shortly after its election.— Morning Post. The following is extracted from an American paper :— " The hat which a gentleman erroneously took for his own, from the dressing- room of the Masonic Hall, on the evening of the he will please to return to the owner. Ample directions for this purpose will be found on the inner side of the sweat leather. The hat is new, stamped ' STANLEY and Co., Regent- street, London,' and is of the latest fashion, and of silk. " The advertiser thinks that he can put the present possessor of the hat in a way of regaining his own beaver. Feb. 24." A Mr. CHALMERS, a plumber in Edinburgh, has died, and left fifty thousand pounds to establish an Infirmary. This gentleman seems to have been the most successful alchymist on record, and has, as GAY says, " Turned all his lead into gold." The following extract from the Dublin Evening Mail is not without interest :— We beg the attention of onr readers, and particularly of that nume- rous class of Roman Catholics who favour us with more than an occasional, though forbidden, glance, to the report of a trial held at the Cork assizes, on an action of trespass brought against the Rev. E. JEFFORDS, Roman Catholic priest, for assault and battery, by one of his own flock. It appears that the plaintiff, a poor old man beyond seventy years of age, had presumed to possess himself of an Irish translation of the Bible, which he loved to read for his own edification and that of his neighbours. This act of " heretical pravity" haying devils," and publicly cursing both him and all who would hold com- munication with him. DOWNEY, however ( for that was the Bible imp's name), no way daunted, continued to read his Bible and attend at stations, thinking within himself, and indeed plainly informing the priest, that he " valued him no more than one Tig he Na Boher, a fellow that used to " read the psalms of excommunication," and curse all roundhim. Whereupon liij reverence, justly incensed, pronounced the following curse:— " My curse and the curse of Gon fall down upon you and your Bible, or any one that would go to you reading any of your Bibles." Things were thus charitably proceeding when DOWNEY went to attend a station— to confess and get absolution ; and on this occasion the assault occurred; for which, as being clearly proved on the part of the plaintiff, and not attempted to be denied on that of the defend- ant, a verdict was found against the priestly defendant, who was mulcted by the Jury in the enormous and very adequate sum of 21.10s.! H Somebody explains to Mr. FOWELL BUXTON the mischief done to British interests in India by Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK'S general order, which is abbreviated in the orderly books into the initials G. O., the saintly wag observed, with his usual vivacity, he thought it a very excellent GO indeed. The Warder makes the following remarks upon the unwarrantable attack organized upon Col. BRUEN :— A more extraordinary and unprecedented instance of the history of bad times and bad men, has never been recorded than the discussion which recently took place in the House of Commons, on petitions from certain county Carlow instruments of Popish faction, and got up, we verily believe, for no other purpose than to defame the charac- ter of Colonel BRUEN. At the same time never was malignity and falsehood so triumphantly defeated, and the character of a humane, good, and just man more clearly vindicated than the Hon. and Gallant Colonel's retort on his base accusers: few things have given us more pleasnre in the perusal. That such accusations should be made, in the face of notorious facts, presents melancholy proof of the demoralised state of society, and the degeneracy of the House of Commons from the dignified principles and manners by which it was distinguished before the vulgarising infection of Popish Members had so lamentably changed its character. When a Protestant landlord cannot regulate his private property, and eject a tenantry from whom he can get no rent— when he cannot do so without being brought before Parliament, because he succeeded in ejecting the minions of O'CONNELL from their corruptly obtained seats in the House of Commons, we really cannot look upon such a procedure but as preparatory to bringing the Act of Settlement in question, and ousting Protestant landlords altogether out of their possessions. It will notat all surprise us, if the Master of the Cabinet ( not King WILLIAM) shall move for an inquiry into the Act of Settlement, with the view of more strictly defining the rights of heritage. The wisdom of our present Ministers may be pretty fairly appre- ciated by the following paragraph in the Birmingham Advertiser:— " We have it upon the best authority, that Lord JOHN RUSSELL has intimated to FRANCIS LLOYD, Esq., of this town, that Government will introduce into Parliament, during the present session, a Bill for granting Charters to all large towns at present unincorporated. HEAVEN AVERT THE THREATENED CALAMITY !" " Who shall decide when doctor's disagree'."— Warwick Assizes concluded on Thursday. The only case of much interest was an assault fcase, Dr. WARD v. Dr. BIRT DAVIES, both physicians residing in Birmingham. During some words between the parties, Dr. WARD told Dr. DAVIES that he had uttered a false- hood, upon w; hich the latter kicked him. Dr. WARD afterwards placed himself in the hands of his friends, by whom he was advised to bring the present action. Lord ABINGER; who presided at the trial, recommended an accommodation, and ultimately Dr. WARD accepted an apology. Dr. DAVIES offered to pay all the expenses incurred by Dr. W., but the latter refused to accept this, which Lord ABINGER said was very handsome conduct. ANOTHER DEFEAT OF THE RADICALS OF ST. ANNE, WESTMINSTER.— In our last Number we mentioned the defeat of the Radicals of St. Anne by the appointment of overseers; we have again to congratulate the Conservative cause in the election of Messrs. SH- SOBOLT and THOMP- SON as churchwardens of that parish by a large majority. The meet- ing was held on Easter Monday, when the Radicals were beaten by a show of hands; but not satisfied with that, they demanded a poll, which continued open till twelve o'clock on Wednesday, when finding they had not the slightest chance, they resigned the contest; the numbers being for the Conservatives, 395 ; for the Radicals, 142 ; majority, 253. The Ulster Times has the following, which we confess only fulfils our expectations:— The schism between the aristocratic Whigs and the Popish priest- hood, which all sane men have seen from the first moment of their union to be ultimately inevitable, already displays very palpable symptoms of commencement. We need not say that we rejoice in the indication, since it is proverbial that there are some quarrels by which good men are always gainers. A Priest in Kildare has nomi- nated a candidate, for the avowed purpose of " breaking down the influence of the Duke of LEINSTER." This the Chronicle most pathetically bewails as ingratitude and treason to the good cause. When the case of the Duke of NEWCASTLE or Lord LONSDALE was in question, the Chronicle thought otherwise of aristocratic influence. However, we shall recur to this interesting subject soon. The following is a most interesting account of the proceedings at a Temperance Society at the Town Hall, at Birmingham, on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings last :— This festival has been kept up with great spirit for two nights, under the presidency of Mr. RICHARD CADBURY and Mr. PAUL MOON JAMES, surrounded by the Rev. Messrs. W. MARSH, RILAND, JAMES, cfec. & c. JOSHUA SCHOLEFIELD, Esq., M. P., JOSEPH WEBSTER, Esq., LUCAS CHANCE, Esq., Messrs. SPURRIER, GEM, STURGE, POPE, CADBURY, STUBBIN, CHAPMAN, HICKLIN, OTTLEY, < fec. About 1,000 persons sat down to tea each night, besides large numbers in the galleries. It is impossible to speak too highly of the arrangements, from the decorations of the Hall to the distribution of the refreshments. The great attraction of the occasion was Mr. JOSEPH LIVESEY, of Preston, whose celebrated lectures on the nature and qualities of intoxicating liquors, and especially of ale, has mainly produced the extraordinary effects now exhibited in Lancashire and other parts of the North. Those only who have been present on the occasion can form an idea of the effect produced by Mr. LIVESEY at the Town Hall. When we state that he occupied nearly two hours each evening, and kept up the attention of the audience to the last moment, it will be seen that we can do no more than give a bare outline of the argu- ments advanced. Mr. LIVESEY stated that the present use of all intoxicating liquors arose from five causes, fashion, ignorance, interest, appetite, and depravity, that they were universally admitted to be the causes of almost all the crime, misery, disease, and prema- ture death that prevails. This was proved by various references to the reports of workhouses, jails, and asylums, coroners' inquests, cfec., cfec. He then proceeded to show the positive loss to the working man by the consumption of ale, which he demonstrated to be a pro- cess totally destructive of the nutritious qualities of the grain from whence it is produced, tha t one gallon of ale costing 2s. cannot furnish more than one pennyworth of food; however extraordinary this may appear, few persons, he said, would venture to dispute the proofs adduced. On the second evening, Mr. LIVESEY was assisted by two stills, by which the spirit from some ale was drawn, and subsequently burnt. He entered largely into the advantages which would result from total abstinence, and unhesitatingly stated it to be the only remedy for the evils which iww exist. The advantages which had been'witnessed in the North from this principle, had far exceeded all imagination; it had fed and clothed thousands who were in absolute misery and destitution; turned poor mechanics into respectable masters ; raised workmen's wages; made masters comfortable, and advanced the general prosperity. He met a variety of objections against the prin- ciple, and refuted them all amidst the enthusiastic plaudits ot his auditory. At the conclusion of the lecture, Mr. LIVESEY was presented with a handsome sliver medal, struck off by Mr. OTTLEY for the society. Those who may feel desirous of more information on the subject of Mr. LIVESEY'S lecture, we must refer to the tract published by the society. During the evening the members sung temperance hymns, which contributed to th e pleasure and enjoyment of the assembly. The official tables of the revenue for the quarter ended 5th April, April 10. JOIIN BULL. 119 present an increase in the receipts upon the year and quarter, as compared with the same periods last year, of 82,4011. upon the one, and of 221,6101. upon the other. The increase in the Customs for the year amounts to 1,165,5621., and for the quarter to 162,9511. The Excise, which, from the transference of tea and other duties to the preceding head, had hitherto exhibited a deficiency generally corresponding to or exceeding the gain of the other, proves for the present an exception to this rule. There is in the produce of the whole year, in the Excise, a decrease of 429,5/ 01., but on the comparison of the quarter there appears an increase of 175,7381. The stamp duties have proved more productive both upon the year and quarter— to the amount of 47,6351. upon the first, and of 43,4971. upon the latter. The assessed taxes are still falling off: during the year there was collected less by 692,4941., and in the quarter by 56,3001., than the corresponding periods last year. The Post- office receipts have improved by 39,0001. upon the year, and 7,0001. upon the quarter. The same is to be said of the taxes which are classed as " miscellaneous;" their increase upon the year is 8 9991., and upon the quarter 5,7551. There is a falling off in the repayments of money advanced for public works upon the year and quarter, to the amount of 56, S211. and 117,0.'! 2 respectively.— The amount of Exchequer Bills necessary for the service of the quarter is 4,474,5221. The Attorney- General and his " Devil" appear to have cut a very awkward figure at the late Norfolk Assizes, in consequence of the wholesale and almost unexampled failure of Government persecutions. Great geniuses, observes the Morning Herald, are for ever making discoveries which common minds never arrive at. Thus, Lord Jons RUSSELL has found ont that an absent Member of Parliament and a Doctor constantly engaged with his patients, are fitter persons for Magistrates of Hastings, than two gentlemen of fortune and leisure constantly residing on the spot. Capt. MARSHALL is about to commence a second series of balls, with the assistance of Weippert's band. Sir ROBERT PEEL and many of the leading Conservative Members of the House of Commons, it )# said, have signified their intention of being present at the approaching anniversary dinner of the City of London Conservative Association on the 13th inst. His Grace the Duke of NEWCASTLE, K. G., has been elected Presi- dent of the Central Agricultural Society, which office he has con- sented to undertake. The number of Vice- Presidents has been increased to twelve, by the addition of the Earl of Winchilsea, the Earl of Darlington, M. P.; Sir George Sinclair, Bart. M. P.; William Ormsby Gore, Esq., M. P.; H. Handley, Esq., M. P.; and John Maxwell, Esq., M. P. The society now enrols 13 Peers, 46 Baronets, more than 70 Members of the House of Commons, 56 local associa- tions, and about 700 members. At a recent ball given in Paris a serious accident occurred, which ought to serve as a caution to the devotees to waltzing. The young and beautiful Princess de BELGIOJOSO was waltzing with M. de la VILLEGOUTIER, eldest son of the Peer of that name, when, with the rapidity with which they were whirling, both fell full length on the floor. The Princess was raised covered with blushes, but Monsieur VILLEGOUTIER, in endeavouring to sustain the Princess, had his shoulder dislocated, the whole weight of the Princess having fallen on his right arm. Prompt medical aid being obtained the bone was reset, and M. de la VILLEGOUTIER is doing well. A duel recently took place at Bangalore, East Indies, by which Ensign DAVIES received his death, and Lieutenants JOY, MORLAND, and POWYS have since been convicted of manslaughter, the two former being sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment in the com- mon gaol at Madras, and the latter to six months. Lieut. MORLAN D'S sentence has been remitted, but the imprisonment of the others was ordered to commence on their arrival at the gaol. The office of High Constable for Finsbury is vacant by the death of Mr. AUSTIN HARLE. There are several candidates already in the field. The death of Mr. CARTTAR, the late Coroner for Surrey, is likely to give rise to a strong contest for that office. The present candidates are Mr. CARTTAR, jun., and Mr. EVEREST, of Epsom, the latter of whom appears to have every chance of success. A numerous meeting of the inhabitants of Bristol was held on Saturday last, WILLIAM FRIPP, Esq., the Mayor, in the Chair, when it was unanimously resolved—" That it is due to Thomas Daniel, Esq., one of the most eminent and respected of our fellow- citizens, that an affectionate address should be presented to him, expressing our sense of the affront which has been offered to him, and to the city in his person, by the rejection, by his Majesty's Ministers, of his name, and the names of the five other gentlemen associated with him in the same measure of exclusion, from the list of individuals recommended by our Town Council as proper persons to be appointed Justices for the borough; and assuring him that this arbitrary and uncalled- for proceeding has only served to bind more closely to him our affections and esteem." DANIEL O'CoNNELLhas declined accepting the invitation to dinner forwarded to him by the Radicals of Lincoln. In his letter we have, as may be supposed, a few howls for " poor ould Ireland," and an appeal to the " patriotic men of Lincoln" ( HICTHINS and Co.) to turn out Col. SIBTHORPE at the next election. We believe that one of the present Members will certainly not be re- elected, and we think it quite possible that Mr. BULWER may be that unfortunate wight.— Boston Herald. The following appears in the Newcastle Journal-.— We have this week to prefer a charge against Mr, Alderman FIFE in his Magisterial capacity, but, in truth, scarcely know how to treat the subject. It is of so ludicrous a nature as to excite our risibility, and yet is too serious for a joke. It will be remembered that, a few weeks ago, we exposed, somewhat signally, Mr. FIFE'S political quackery, as we had often done before. In adverting to his appoint- ment as a Magistrate, we distinctly affirmed that that Mr. FIFE was " utterly incapacitated, both from his rabid politics, and his deplo- rable mental delusions, for administering justice, or exercising any civil functions, to the satisfaction of this great community." This sentence was penned advisedly, and one of the " mental delusions" to which we alluded, was Mr. FIFE'S known infatuation— mounting to " craziness"— on the subject of what certain wiseacres term Phrenology. That we were right in supposing the newly elected Magistrate might be so insane as to decide the cases of offenders by feeling their skulls, is now placed beyond doubt. We find melan- choly proof of the fact in the columns of the Tyne Mercury. That there may be no mistake, we quote from our contemporary's Police Report: " NEWCASTLE POLICE, Wednesday, March 23.— The Mayor, and Messrs. EASTERBY, NICHOL, DUNN, and FIFE, were the sitting Magistrates. A few disorderly prostitutes having been disposed of, WILLIAM PERRY, a sailor, was brought up for final examination on suspicion of stealing some clothes belonging to the cabin boy of the ship Mary, of Yarmouth. Proper inquiries having been made by the officers to discover the stolen property, but without success, and no further evidence being produced, the prisoner was discharged. On the previous examination of PERRY, Mr. Alderman FIFE liad taken the liberty of slightly examining his head WITH REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF PHRENOLOGY, and informed the Magistrates, that the organ of secretiveness was very fully developed, and he had no doubt but that he was a VERY CUNNING FELLOW !" New, we ask, in all seriousness, whether the above account is not painfully illustrative of all that we have urged as to Mr. FIFE'S inca- pacityto act as a Magistrate. If that unha ppy gentleman has one sin- cere friend left in the world, he must feel humiliated that, in hiin, the offensive quackery of craniology should be allowed to prejudice the case of a person accused of a grave and serious offence. We can scarcely restrain our feelings in characterising such matchless ab- surdity. Lecturers on phrenology have often, in the halls of science, pushed their ridiculous theories beyond the boundaries of common sense and propriety; but to Mr. Alderman FIFE alone is due the merit of introducing it in the hall of justice, and virtually pronouncing upon the guilt or innocence of a prisoner on the senseless principles of " burnpologv." We suppose, after this, Mr. FIFE'S well- wishers will use their utmost efforts to " relieve" him, ns the liberal phrase goes, from any further attendance at the Magistrates' Chamber in his capacity of a Justice of the Peace, and thus put it out of the un- fortunate gentleman's power to again make himself so painfully con- spicuous. ~ The bumps of " self- esteem" and " love of approbation" are, doubtless, in phrenological slang, " very largely developed" in the scull of the worthy functionary ; and we make this exposure at the risk of wounding Mr. FIFE'S sensibilities through both these gro- velling feelings, which, as the " professors" of the exploded trash in- form us, are " sentiments common to man and the brute creation." We can assure Mr. FIFE, however, that we advert to the subject " more in pity than in anger;" and shall rejoice if this timely warning prevents a repetition of folly and wickedness, at once mischievous and disgusting. The following extracts from the Dublin JVarder are striking illus- trations of the boasted tranquillity of Ireland under the mild and beneficent rule of his Excellency Lord MULGRAVE :— The Lord Lieutenant has offered 401. reward for the discovery of the incendiaries who burnt three out- houses of WM. CARROLL, at Garrou- e, near Bruree, county Limerick, when several head of cattle perished in the flames. Patrick's night last WM. ROURKE, publican at Glinn, county G'ar- low, was strangled in his bed, by persons }* et undiscovered. Several persons were waylaid on Friday night on leaving the fair of Maryboro'; one man had his skull fractured on the Ballyfin road, near the town ; and next morning another was found lifeless in a ditch midway between Maryboro' and Mountmelick, where he lay all night, bathed in blood from the effects of a beating. Friday night the dwelling- house and offices of Mr. EDWARD DENLEA, at Gortacrue, near Middleton, were maliciously set on fire and burned to the ground, together with five horses, one cow, and all the furniture therein, and five persons residing in the house narrowly escaped the flames. The Rev. Mr. HICKS was compelled to desist reading the burial sermon over a Protestant at Roscrea Church- yard, on Friday, from the_ riotous behaviour of a low mob, who were finally expelledby the police. THOMAS O'BRIEN, of Glengar, Tipperary, for the murder of THOMAS FRANKLIN, near Doone, has been committed to the county faol by THOS. P. VOKES, Esq., having been arrested by the friends of RANKLIX. A most wanton and daring act of violence and indecent conduct occurred in Thurles on Wednesday last. It appears the funeral of a daughter of WILLIAM NICHOLSON, Esq., took place, and while the Clergyman was in the Church reading the beautiful and affecting burial service, a mob of wrenches ( among whom were many persons who should have known better), broke into the Church, endeavoured by every kind of noise and interruption to prevent the service being performed, and then breaking open the pews, tore up the seats, Prayer- books, and Bibles that were in them. But this is not all— not satisfied with these exploits, the sacrilegious brutes ac- tually committed all sorts of nuisances about the Church and in the pews !!— Tipperary Constitution. ROBERT STEW ART, Esq., M. P., of Alderston, a junior Lord of the Treasury, has been selected to fill the office of Chief Commissioner of the Post Office, under the new arrangements in progress for remo- delling the department. This appointment will create a vacancy in the representation of the Haddington district of burghs. The Walsall troop of Staffordshire Yeomanry dined together at the Green Man last week, and were sumptuously regaled. The room on the occasion was tastefully decorated with laurel and flowers, and at the upper end was placed a crown, with the letters " W. R.," and at the lower end, " S. Y. C.," and the Staffordshire knot. Sir. E. D. SCOTT, Bart., M. P., presided, and nothing could sur- pass the harmony of the proceedings of the day. The first toast proposed was " The King," which was drunk with due honours, as was " The Queen and Royal family." The following were the toasts subsequently given, and were received with great applause:— " The Duchess of Kent," " The Princess Victoria," " Lady Scott and the house of Barr," " The Lord Lieutenant of the county,'' " The Duke of Wellington," " Major Peel," " The Ladies of Wal- sall," and other toasts. TESTIMONIAL TO ARCHDEACON BUTLER. A very numerous meet- ing of gentlemen, who have been educated under the Venerable Archdeacon Butler at the Shrewsbury School, and their friends, was held on Friday at the Thatched- house Tavern, to consider the best mode of testifying their respect for that eminent scholar, on the oc- casion of his retirement from the Head- mastership of the School. Sir Francis L. Holyoake Goodricke, Bart., M. P. was in the chair, and shortly stated the object of the meeting. In the course of the pro- ceedings of the day, the only question • upon which any diversity of opinion appeared to prevail was that which had reference to the cha- racter of the testimonial to be offered to their former preceptor. Some gentlemen thought that a presentation of plate, which would be handed down from generation to generation in the Archdeacon's family, would prove most grateful to the feelings of that gentleman; whilst others were of opinion that his name, fame, and pre- eminent talents, would be best handed down to posterity by the foundation of classical prize scholarship, bearing the Doctor's name. The majo- rity of the meeting were, however, in favour of the former propo- sition, which was ultimately unanimously agreed to. A committee of 24 gentlemen were appointed to carry into effect the object pro- posed. Nearly the whole of those present were members of the two Universities, and others had also come a great distance on purpose to assist in the meritorious and honourable project. The meeting came to the subjoined resolution:—" That in the opinion of this meeting the Venerable Archdeacon Butler, by his rare learning, con- summate ability, and unprecedented success as a master, as well as by the affectionate interest he has always taken in the welfare of his pupils, is entitled to their high respect, esteem, and gratitude. That the approaching retirement of Archdeacon Butler from the Head- mastership of Shrewsbury School presents a favourable opportunity for the manifestation of these feelings by some public testimonial. That, with this view, a subscription be immediately entered into, and books opened for that purpose, & c." to the office of Rural Dean of the Deanery of Kidderminster, in the place of the Rev.

The long and intimate connection of this distinguished man with the town of Reading— his position for half- a- century at the head of one of the first edncational establishments in England— and his numerous and valnable works in every department of litera- ture, render the name of Dr. VALPY two wellknown to require from us a lengthened biographical notice. That, indeed, is a task which, we doubt not, one of his many celebrated pupils will faithfully and reverently perform. Still we cannot suffer so good and great a man to pass from among ns, without bearing our humble testimony to the affection, esteem, and admiration with which Dr. VALPV was regarded in a town so long honoured by his residence, adorned by his virtues, and benefitted by his example.— Berkshire Chronicle.— The* remains of Dr. VALPY were interred in the new cemetery in the Harrow- road, on Tuesday. The deaths of three Bishops within six weeks, in addition to the Regius Professorship and a stall at Christcliurch, are instances of an accumulation of Church patronage which scarcely ever fell to the dis- posal of any Minister of the Crown within so short a period. In consequence of the appointment of Mr. C. WORDSWORTH to the Head Mastership of Harrow, a vacancy occurs in the Public Orator- ship of Cambridge. Mr. THORP, of Trinity, and Mr. CRICK, of St. John's, have declared themselves candidates for that office. Another memorable Tercentenary occurs this year ; for it was in the year 1536 that the Bible was commanded to be placed, on or be- fore the 1st of August, in the Churches, for public perusal. A meeting of the vestry of the parish of St. Botolph, Bishopsgate, was held on Tuesday, Dr. RUSSELL, the Rector, in the Chair, for the election of officers for the year ensuing, and on other business. The first business entered upon, as the motion of which, previous notice had been given, was the difference between the Bishop of LONDON, formerly the Rector, and the parishioners, respecting the sums he had received over and above 2,2001., the amount compounded by the latter as the rectorial stipend. The Chairman having stated the ob- ject of the meeting, Mr. BROWN rose to bring forward his motion for the adoption of a letter to the Bishop, urging the return of the moneys which had been paid to him in error on the faith of the agreement between him and his parishioners. The motion having been seconded, an amendment was moved and seconded, that the letter should not be presented, as the Bishop had promised to pay the money, and it, was now only a question of time as to when it should be paid. A letter was read, however, in which the Bishop said, as it had been paid under a misunderstanding he should pay it; that he should not feel bound to pay it towards the rates of the'new Church, but to soma object in the parish which he thought best. After some discussion the letter was adopted by a considerable majority, and the meeting proceeded to other business. It seems highly probable, that in consequence of the decease of the Bishop of LICHFIELD and COVENTRY, the recommendation of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners relative to that diocese, will be carried into effect. That recommendation was, that about two- thirds of the parishes in Warwickshire, including the towns of Birmingham and Coventiy, be separated from the diocese of Lichfield and Coventry, and annexed to the See of Worcester. It now appears certain that the Bishoprick of Bristol will be sup- pressed ; it will be united either with the diocese of Gloucester or Bath and Wells— probably the former. We last week noticed the melancholy accident which occasioned the death of the Rev. J. CHAMBERS, Rector of Spernall. We have this week to record a still more afflicting circumstance in the death of the nephew of that Rev. Gentleman, the Rev. THOMAS CHAMBERS, Vicar of Studley. The Rev. Gentleman was much afflicted by the death of his uncle, and since that event there has occasionally been a marked eccentricity of manner observable._ On the morning of Monday se'nnight he received a letter from his sister, residing at or near Oxford, and soon afterwards he went out, omitting, contrary to his usual custom, to state at what time he might be expected home. Not returning in the evening, his friends became alarmed, and search was made in every direction for him. About five o'clock on Tuesday afternoon his body was discovered floating in a mill stream, between Studley and Snernall, and on the bank of the . stream, a short distance from where the body was found, were lying ! an umbrella and pair of gloves, belonging to the Rev. Gentlemaif, as well as the letter mentioned above, which was unopened. The Rev. Gentleman was a bachelor: he wasgenerally respected, and the poor hate lost in him a kind and liberal benefactor. By the death of his uncle 1 ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. PREFERMENTS, APPOINTMENTS, & c. The Rev. CHRISTOPHER WORDSWORTH, M.

It was recently stated in the House of Lords that forty ypnrs ago, not more than about thirty places of Catholic religious worship were to be found in England, whilst in the year 1835 there were 510, and others were in progress ; that at Kidderminster a Protestant Chapel had been recently converted into a Roman Catholic place of worship ; that there were eight Popish Colleges now, besides several monas- teries and nunneries; that " the chief reporters of the public journals were said to be Irish Papists;" and, in short, that the Roman Catholic religion was greatly oil the increase. The Dissenting Deputies of this town having made an application to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the remission of the stamp duty on the renewal of trust deeds of Dissenting places of worship generally, the Right Hon. Gentleman has m reply just received, assured them, " that the representations of the Dissenting Deputies will receive from him all the attention which the numbers and respectability of the parties give them a just right to] expect."— — Birmingham Advertiser.

Exchequer Bills are 20 to 22, and India Bonds are at 6 to 8. In the Foreign Stocks, the chief speculation has been ih the Penin- sular Bonds, Spanish Bonds having advanced to 463^ ST. at which they closed this afternoon. This arises from an astounding idea on the part of the Bondholders that the next dividend mil be paid, and has, as may be expected, had a favourable effect on the Securities (?) In Portuguese Bonds there has been a considerable advance, the Five per Cents, closing at 84%, and the Three per Cents, are at 54) 4. In the Republican Bonds there is nothing of any importance to no- tice. Chilian Bonds are at 48 49, Columbian are at 33, and Mexican at 35% 36J£. In the Northern Bonds the tendency is upward, and Belgian are 103^ 104, Russian 109, Dutch Five per'Cents, are 101%, acid the Two- and- Half per Cents. 56¥. In Shares there is still considerable speculation, but the chief object of attention has been the Calcutta and Saugur Shares, which have been at 2% pm., at which they closed this afternoon ; the favour- able progression of this undertaking has caused considerable demand for investment, especially in those large mercantile towns whose connexion with Bengal more immediately identifies them with this important undertaking. Greenwich Shares are at 10 pm.; Steven- son's Brighton are at 18) 4 per Share, Rennie's are 4X ; London and Birmingham are 123 per Share; and Grand Junction are 5% per Share ; Great Western 37, and most of the others are firm. 3 per Cent..

Letters from the frontiers of Spain state that the Carlist bands in Catalonia continue to infest and pillage the province in every direction, and that some of them have had the boldness to advance even to the walls of Barcelona, within reach of the cannon.— General Mina was at Cervera on the 24th ult., but he was preparing to move forward, and he boasts'that he has confined the Catalonian Carlists to their mountainous districts. He shot three Carlists on the 18th, and threatens to act during the whole campaign on the same sanguinary system. There are advices from Lisbon to the 31st ult., brought by the Liverpool steamer, which state that the Chambers_ had been pro- rogued, and that it was considered probable that a dissolution would « nsue. His Majesty's annual banquet to the Military and Civil Knights Orand Crosses, of the Bath, and great officers of state, is fixed for Saturday next, the 16th inst., at St. George's Hall, Windsor. A grand dinner is to take place on the 23d of this month, it, being St. George's Day, of the Conservatives of Westminster, at Willis's Rooms. The meeting is expected to be highly respectable, and very numerous. Archdeacon Butler, who has presided so many years over the cele- brated Grammar- school at Shrewsbury, from which he has announced his intention of retiring, is confidently spoken of as likely to succeed to one of the vacant Bishopricks. Other persons mentioned are— Dr. Howard, brother of the Earl of Carlisle, and Dean of Lichfield, and Dr. Shuttleworth, the Head of New College. The Prince of Cajraa ( Prince Charles of Naples), with his fair bride, and suite, arrived at Mivart's Hotel the night before last. It is strongly rumoured, and we have no reason to doubt the truth - of the report, that Ministers have resolved on the abolition of the Stamp- office in Ireland, and transacting all the business of this de- partment in Somerset House, London.— Dublin Evening Mail. The Attorney- General has given his opinion that the Corporation of Bath is liable to the payment of the debts contracted by the late Corporation, including their vote of 500/. for St. Michael's Church, and, also, it is presumed, the 200/. voted for the new organ in the Abbey Church. The entire of the dress circle at the St. J ames's Theatre is arranged in private boxes for the performances of the French plays, and all of tkem are already let. Nearly the whole of the pit is also appropriated in stalls, so that the audience will in some degree resemble a private society. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria have announced their intention to be present at the Grand Mosical Festival at Exeter Hall, on Friday next, to hear the per- formance of Solomon. In many parts of the country whole tracts of land are under water, and unlikely for a long time to be in a fit state to receive the opera- tior s of the plough or the harrow. A company is about to be formed in the City, chiefly among the merchants connected with the West Indies, for a *' Colonial Bank," an undertaking of a higher character and with more extensive objects than the common run of projects with which the Money Market is inundated, in this high tide of abundant capital and prosperous com- merce. The plan is not yet fully detailed, but it is understood, that a Bank will be fixed at Kingston," in Jamaica, and that its operation will extend over the whole of the West India islands.— Times.
