Saturday the Annual Meeting of the British and Foreign School Society took place at Freemasons'- hall. At twelve o'clock the Chair was taken by his Royal Highness the Duke of KENT, supported by the two Princes of HESSE, Mr. WILBERFORCE, Mr. BEN wrrr, and a considerable number of Ladies and Gen tlemen who support this Society. His Royal High ness briefly called the attention of the Meeting to the great objects of the Society, and earnestly recom mended that it should receive at their hands, the most cordial support. The Report was read, from which it appeared that the Society was gaining ground in the four quarters of the globe. HYDE PARK.—Yesterday Hyde Park and Kensing ton Gardens were crowded with all ranks and degrees. His Excellency the PERSIAN AMBASSADOR, gorgeously apparelled in ," scarlet and fine linen,"mounted on a beautiful Arabian milk-white charger, and followed' by three of his suite, themselves and horses superbly clad in all the splendid habiliments of Oriental lux ury, passed and repassed the whole extent of the King's Private Road. Kensington Gardens were filled with Ladies, and the moment the glittering strangers were perceived, the rush to the wall of the Ha ! Ha ! was simultaneous ; and the whole extent of the boun dary displayed in an instant, as if by magic, a blazing line of beauty, enough to astonish even the lord of the beautiful Circassian.

FOR WI IRACY TO ASSASSINATE TDU NGTON.-THIRD SITTING, M AY I3.K EOF - A 'Young refugee of Brussels, called Lowy, from whom much was expected - , appe.red as a witness. After a great deal of circumlocution, in which he took much pains to acquit the refugees at Brussels of the plot intended to be charged against them by M. Van der Foss, the Procureur-General there, be stated, that some days after the news arrived of the blow having been struck, Marinet pointed out to him a French Officer, and said—" There is'one to whom the proposition was made to fire the pistol, and if it had been him, it would not have missed? All this Marinet denied having uttered. Lamy was then questioned as to Marinet's having made this proposal to the Officer ; but the Counsel for the latter contended that this was going further than the evidence of the witness charged him, and if he had made it at all, it was conjectural. Lamy owned that he had been on terms of inti macy with Marinet, whose society and conversation pleased him much; but that Mariner's intimacy with Lord Kinnaird was a thing he never liked. The French refugees at Brussels. said the witness, had an unfavourable opinion of his Lordship; they sus pected him of being placed there as a spy on their actions. It was even reported that it was in order to deceive more effectually that he had pretended to quarrel with Lord Wellington. It did not appear na tural that he should court the society of the French with so much earnestness, that he should be lauding them on all occasions, and exalting them above his countrymen, even wbea the battle of Waterloo was in question. The witness was proceeding to state other facts re lating to Lord Kinnaird, which being' denied with great indifference by Marinet, Lamy turned to him and said- 4, What, you still ex culpate Lord Kinnaird—you seem still to be his dupe." Marinet answered, with tears in his eyes—" That is possible; but, if I was inclined to do it, I could shew that this should not be my place here." The ADVOCATE-GENERAL urged him to disclose on the spot. Marinet, with great emotion—" You may condemn me; but when my body shall be cold, it is then you will be convinced of my innocence!" The next witness was M. Deniez, a Clerk, who pretended to have knowledge, through the ager.cy of the Police, of the guarantee given to Lord Kin naird and Marinet by the Duke of Wellington. He added, that when questioned at Brusselt by the Pro cureur-General he was threatened with being thrown into prison, because he refused to criminate Marinet; and finally, that the Judge of Instruction at Lrussels had expressed an intention of arresting Lord Kinnaird, from which he . was diverted by the Procureur. After hearing some more witnesses, as to the pecu • nary condition of 1 - arinet and Cantillon, whose tes timony seas not important, Julie Fremont, the Man tua-maker, was introduced. She deposed, that her acquaintance with Cantillon commenced by meeting him at midnight mass, on Christmas Day, 1818.— Having, in the former interrogatory, denied that Cantillon slept at her house on the night of the 10th or 11th of Februntx,4l declared now that she rather inclined to think he did sleep there. She was also deterred from speaking the truth in the first instance', • by the threat of the Prefect of Police, who intim i ated to her that if it was established that he bad slept there, it would necessarily include her as an accom plice. She repeated what she had said before of having seen money with Cantillion, and that it was 'from his own mouth she heard the circumstance of the attack upon the Duke of Wellington. On that occasion he frequently repeated, It is not I—it can never be said that it was I—if it had, I should not have missed." Cantill9n recollected this saying, but he denied some of her statements. The PnEstriEmr remarked to the witness, in allu sion to her vindication of Cantillon, that her memory was either very treacherous, or it was wilfully so. Fremont defended herself by saying, that she was agitated at her first examination. Cantillon undertook to account for this variation, by ascribing her first evidence to the evil councils of Eugenie Desfontaines, who worked upon her through the agency of her fears. M. CLAVEAU asked the witness if she had ever seen Cantillon in a coat with yellow buttons, or with moustaches? to which she replied she had not. The Sitting was continued to six in the evening, with a view to hear the other witnesses. During the Sittings, many Members of the Corps Diplomatique were observed to be present. Amongst these were the Danish Ambassador, and Lady Stuart, wife of the English Ambassador. It is believed that the Advocate General, and the defendants, will to-morrow address the Court. FRENCH CRIM. Cox.—Wednesday the Tribunal of Correctional Police, at Paris, resumed the considera tion of the charge against Madame B. and Dr. It. for adultery. M. BERRYER, jun. was heard at con siderable length, en behalf of Dr. It. and M. PAR QUIN, in reply, for the husband of Madame.B. when the ATTORNEY GENERAL once more demanded the sentence of the Court. After the Court had retired to deliberate for an hour - and a half, it adjudged Ma dame B. to undergo an imprisonment of three months, and Dr. R. to five months imprisonment.— Dr. It. was, besides, to pay a fine of 600 francs, and the expenses were ordered to be paid by the parties. Tuesday twenty-one Mates and:Midshipmen passed their examination for Lieutenants at the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth. Messrs. BELLAIRS and GEDDES, who came home Acting Lieutenants in the GRASSHOPPER, have been confirmed in their rank by the Lords of the Admi ralty, and the formerhas been appointed to the GRASS HOPPER. Mr. ARCHIBALD PETRIE is appointed Pur ser of the Ordinary on the Lakes in Canada. LADY CASTLEREAGH'S OPERA BANQUET.—On Sa turday night the above distinguished Lady opened her elegant mansion, in St. James's-square, the third time this season, with her sumptuous banquet, after the Opera. Her Ladyship is attended on these oc casions, by her fashionable friends, without any pre ;fi'ous invitation, eighty covers being regularly laid.

The Paris Papers of Thursday arrived yesterday, and in a preceding column we have extracted from them an account of the third day's proceedings is the trial of Cantillon and Marixe4 accused of the conspiracy against the life of the Duke of Wxurso• TON. The Papers of Friday, which have also arrived this forenoon, bring us the farther proceedings os Thursday, when, after examining one more x% nets, which closed the case against the Prisoners, the .fir• TORNEY- GENERAL addressed the Jury on the part d the prosecution, and Messrs. CoavEatr and Duns for the two Defendants. From the tone of the Ar• TORNEY-GENERAL'S speech, it would seem that I t rather anticipates a verdict of acquittal. The Counsel for the Prisoners insisted strongly on the fact of the corpus delicii not being at all established—that is to say, that no trace of the ball alleged to have bees shot at the Duke had been discovered, although the Prosecutors had examined the walls of the hotel stone by stone, and all the trees round about branch by branch. The cause was continued till Friday, wheel the PRESIDENT will deliver his charge to the Jury, and the Jury will in all probability return an immc diate verdict. The del ate on the Budget is still going on in the Chamber of Deputies, and occasionally exhibits good deal of spirit. M. LAFITTE, in delivering his sentiments upon it, justified, in a very satisfaml manner, the concluot of the Bank of France, With 7(' spect to the limitation of its discounts, which shewed to be founded in motives of the soundest c:.:- cretion. He proved, too, that the charge N‘hic;) has been thrown out against the monied and commercial classes, of laving refused to succour Government , was altogether false.
