In 1633 he was advanced to the dignity of Earl of Stirling, and Viscount Canada, with the like li mitations. But a few years afterwards, having lost his eldest and two other sow, and witnessing the declining health of his surviving sons, and fearing that in the event of failure of the heirs male of' his own body, his honour might devolve upon distant collaterals, he made a surrender of his titles to the King (according to the errata:ar of e lave rf Scotland), and on the 7th of De cember, 16'39, charter of novo-ctnaus,whereby the fore3aid tillei t err tcli nked, tul specially entailesl, upon failure of I:eils male of the Earl's body, tt) de. scend to tl:e eldest h s female, and their issue nbile re spectively, who should be the next heir female to the last heir mole succeeding to the dignities granted.— Under this limitation, upon the .death of the fifth Earl of Stirling in 1789, 'without issue, the family honours descended upon the issue male of the fourth son of the first Earl, namely, to John, his grandson, who was a Presbyterian Minister of tl.eE,tablishedChurch of Scot land, then-residing in Dublin. He deceased sexy shortly afterwards, leaving two sons and two daughters, all in early minority. The two sons died very young men, without issue, whereby the two sisters, Mary and Han nah, became co-heiresses ; buj as the honours were to go to-the eldest heir female without division, the former was entitled. to them, and died unmarried in 1794; whereby her only surviving sister, Hannah, became sole heiress to the Earldom, &c. This Lady married Wm. Humphrys, Esq. of the Larches, in the county of War wick, and died at Worcester in 1814, leavin? Alexander Humphrys, Esq.

We have received the Gazeta Mercankl, a Buenos Ayres paper, of.the 14th of March, which contains a dispatch giving an official account of the affair of Cochabamba, in which eight hundred of the troop. belonging to the Spanish division ofOLANETA were de frated by the forces of Buenos Ayres. The same jour nal contains, under dare of Match 5, an account t.f a popular commotion at Cordova, about the eection of a Governor.

The parish officers have offered a handsome reward for the discovery of the Wenders. DREADFUL FIRE AT BOURDEAVX.—On the 2d of June a dreadful fire happened about eight o'clock in the evening at Becalm, in the warehouses of M. Borax, in the occupation of News. Morita, BALGUIIIIII4 and Co. Toms and Co. and others. The premises contained a considerable quantity of spirits. The lames spread with frightful rapidity. The rope-yard of M. Roos main soon became a prey to the devouring element, as well as many blouses adjacent. Upwards of 2500 pieces of brandy were contuand, with other merchandise. THE BANQUETTINt ROOM IN ST. JAMES'S' PALACE The banquetting-mom in St. James's Palace is de serving of peculiar notice, as preseniing one of the most nnibusi and beautiful instances of how splendour and simplicity may be coatbined in an apartment, that pet haps is to be seen in Europe. The room is thagni• , ficently extensive in Its length, width, and height. The colour is plain white and gold, which kas, ai displayed in' this this apartment, an effect in pOint of beauty that to be appreciated requires to be seen. The furniture consists of settees round the room of crimson, damask, s.tin and gold frames, with crimson carpet to match. There are six doors of entrance, all at the same end, to this superb room, over which are beauti'ully executed, in gold, the armorial shields of the six different Orders of which his M.ijewty is Sovereign; and suspended from the ceiling are five chandeliers in gold to correspond : the whole most harmoniously combining to form an apartment worthy 0 - a Sovereign whose taste it was designed to gratify. Indeed, the whi•le of the new alterations made for the purposes of Court and Drawing-room days in this Palace, are of the most complete and accommodating description. It is scarcely credible, that out of the ruins which this part of the Palace presented not long ago, such spacious entrances and magnificent apartments could have been designed and executed, without the eradicating of the whole tottering edifice, which u a" '"tout owessile" is a disgrace to the country in point of external appearance, for a Monarch's Palace. The design and execution, we understand, hare been under the direction of a Gentleman named Hunt, an architect, whose simple and elegant style of taste on this occasion does him infinite credit. - WESTMINSTER COURT OF REQUESTS. JUNE 9.WALICIR N. DOWD. The plaintiff, Walker, a little dandy fifcl Gentleman in black, claimed 10s. of Mr. Dowd, 'a plain matter-of fact personage, also in black, which Mr. Dowd denied that he owed, and the fashionable-looking sprig was put upon his proof. He stated that he was a waiter— what a sinking I we had taken him for a blood of the first water—that Mr. Dowd had engaged him at the liberal salary of 15s. a week; that for two days he waited with all due diligence, and would h..ve wai ed longer, but that at the end of these two days, Mr. Dowd turned him away, paying him but ss. instead of "156., that he had since waited a considerable time for there: maining 10s. and finding that if he waited till the day of doom, heshould not get it, he had altered his mind, was determined to wait no longer, and had therefore summoned Mr, Dowd. Mr. Dowd now told his story; which went very ma terially to shake 'the statement of the exquisite little Gentleman who had just finished. He admitted that having been in want of a waiter, he hod certainly en gaged Mister Walker, and at 15s. a week ; but he had scarcely so done, when Mister Walker walked off, saying he had not yet given notice at his last place, Mr. Green's, of Serle-street, Lincoln's Inn, but that he would go and do so, and be back in no time. This was early in the morning ; but Mr. Dowd finding that the day was fleeti. g away, and no Mister Walker re turned, he did the best thing he could, viz. accepted the ser vices of another young man, who offered them. Towards evening, in walked Mister Walker, who was told how matters stood: 'he did not at all seem to re lish the situation of things, and Mr. Dowd told him that as it was Thursday, and they were busy, he might remain, if hz liked, till Saturday, at 2s. 6d. Lday ; to this Walker agreed. For that night all was quirt, bat on Friday, when dinner time arrived, he made Mr. Dowd's hotel almost too hot to hold him, for he not' only quarrelled with all the other srrvants about the premises, but he cock toll of all the liquors and wines he had to carry to the customers, till he became Lr tally unfit to carry any more. and was himself carried , off, having first received the ss. before mentioned. 1 . 4' prove all ttie, Mr. Dowd catled one of his waiters, who corroborated nearly the whole, saying, that of all the men he ever met, Walker was the most quarrel. some; and that towards the Friday evening in question, he got very peer, which queer nest he supposed had arisen from his having sipped a little of the nectareous juices he had to convey to the different dinner parties.' The CoststisstoNerta dismissed the case, considering that the-waiting Mr. Walker had been paid quite as well as he deserved. His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of IRELAND, not being quite recovered front his recent indisposition, held a Council, on the tith inst. nt the Phoenix Park, when the Baronies of Middle third and ClanwiUlam, in the county of Tippetary, and of Orrery and Kilgnore, Feeney, and West 'Alu.kerry, in the county of Cork, were relieved from the Insurrection Act ; its•operation is now re moved from the whole of the Sister Kingdom, these being the only districts from which it bad not previou.ly be en withdrawn. -..This most desirable result is to be attributed to the prudence and ability of Lord Wectssi.cr, andao the address with which the Fovereigo authority has been exercised for the best interests of Ireland; The Royal Godens, Vauxhall, if we may judge from the very numerous and elegant - attendances this week, are likely to have a foCaIOU of singular succels and popularity. The improvements introduced appear judicious and tasteful, and the en tertainments and music deserve the highest praise; the lighting of the Gardens generally, and the fireworks, are brilliant in the ex treme. With these manifold attractions the Proprietors may be well assured of ample remuneration and high public favour. We hear dart this evening some distinguished company will be present. Last week, in Dumfries, a town remarkable for the, health, longevity, and cheer fulness of its inhabitants, a Lady and Gentleman, whose united ages amounted to one hundred and sixty years, danced* country dance, with great life and spirits. Thursday, the 2d instant, a man who appeared dumb, passed through Laxton, near Wansford, Northampton. shire, selling needles and buttons; his behaviour to those who would not buy of him, was very menacing, and he spat in one woman's face. At the end of the village, he found three children at play, and in an in stant stabbed one in the neck with a knife, and caused her death. The villain was traced to Cliffe, and there lost. Ile wore a dark Wellington coat, with grey fus tian trowsers, and carried before bins a small dark green or blue box, containing his water. The box hung by straps from his shoulders ; and the words 18 White chapelorLondon," were on the strap behind his neck. It is hoped that, from this account, the monster may be apprehended, and taken to Laxton to be identified. ROBBERY OF THE TWICKENHAM SAVINGS' RANK. The extent to which the Twickenham Savings' Bank bas been robbed, was declared, on Saturday last, by a resolution of a Special Meeting, to amount to neatly £7,000 ; viz. £3,607 16s.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 10. CORR V. RANKER. Mit, it will be remembered, WAS an action of ties• pass, brought against the defendant, who is a parish officer of St. Andrew's, Holborn, by the plaintiff, who is a resident of Lircoln's inn. The question at issue was, whether or not L'acc.ln's-inn was extra-parochial? •The cause was tried at the Middlesex Sittings, after last Michaelmas Term, and a verdict was found for the defendant. In the course of last Hilary Term, Mr. At torn-y-General obtained a Rule, calling upon the plain tiff to skew cause why the verdict sho uld nQt be set aside, and a new trial had. Mr. SCARLETT was heard last Term agaitbr, and Mr. ATTORNEY GENERAL in support of the Rule. 'llls day, Mr. NOLAN and Mr. TINDAL weie heard on the same side. The Court took time to consider their Judgment. tiKYRING V. COX AND OREZNWOOD. This was an action for -money had and received, brought by the plaintiff, the widow ani executrix of the la e Major Styring, of the Royal Artillery, agziAst the defeudasti, who were the Agents for that Corps.— At the trial it appeared,that in the year 1816 the Board of Ordnance issued an order, stating that certain allow ances theretofore granted to Officers in blajo: Skyring's situation should cease; and of this order the defendants had notice, but they continued to pay them to Major Skyring until some time in the year 1821, in the course f which year they furnished him with an account, giving him credit for those allowances up to November, 1820, leaving a balance of upwards of 1001. in his fa vour; but upon the trial, they sought to set up the sums so paid as a defence• to this action. The Lord Chief Justice held, that for money paid under such.ch cuntstances, the action could not be sustained, and a verdict was found for the plaintiff. In the coarse of last Term, Mr. Gurney obtained a Rule, calling upon the plaintiff to thee, cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had. Mr. SCAKLILIT aad Mr. Btsouaz ibis day shelved UMW against the Rule ; and Mr. Mouser and Mr. Teener in support of it. The COURT was of opinion, that the direction of the Learned Judge at the trial was correct. It would be very hard upon Officers in the Army, who were gene. rally unacquainted with the meaning of such orders, and who relied upon the judgment of the Agents, if th.! Agents, after having misinterpreted orders from Military Boards, and paid for several years to the Officers stuns of money to which they thought themselves entitled, and which they in all probability had spear, could maintain actions of this kind.—Rule discharged. ASSAULT.-COLONEL BERKELEY. JUDGE V. BRIIICKLIT AND OTHiItS. This w.ss an action r,f assault brought by the plain tiff, who is the Editor of the Cheltenham Chronicle, against the defendants, George Fitzhardinge Berkeley, E,q. Lord Sussex Lennox, and William.. Carr Ham mond. The venue, which was or ginally laid in the county of Middlesex, was removed into the county of Gloucester, upon the usual affidavit, ,rating that the cause of ac ion originated in Gloucestershire, and no-. where else. Mr. C. Pritr-Livs this day moved for a Rule, calling. on the delenJants to shew cause why the venue should not be changed into Worcestershire, Herefordshiie, or such other adjoining county as the Court might be pleased to name. In support of his motion, the Learned Counsel read the affidavit of the plaintiff, stating, that Colonel Berkeley was a Magistrate for the county of Gloucester, the President of a Hunting Club, and the President of a Political Club, in that county, and therefore a man of great influence with the per sons who, in all probability, would be summoned to try this action. The Loon Cuter Joiner asked if the plaintiff swore that he did not think he could hare an impartial trial in Gloucestershire? Mr. Pamirs—He swears so distinctly, say Lord. Their Lordships havicg consulted together for some time. The Loan Cats► lonics—Take a rule to 'hew cause, but I doubt that you will be able to make It absolute.—Rule granted.
