bovkA, MAY 17. The Mofiarch sailed this morning for Boulogne, with coMparatively few passengers,. and a vessel for Calais also, by no means full. The innkeepers here complain sadly. of the dulness, as they had anticipated a rich fustiest for the Coronation. It is probable, that v.hen Epsom Races are over, the coronation folks will come here ; bef"•te they cannot, if they travel post, for nearly all the post-horses within twenty miles of town are to be sent up to persons who have contracted for them for Epsom, At Dartford 16 fours, and $2 pair of horses are bargained for by a great postmaster in Regent street, at sixteen guineas per pair. The Earl of Strath- More was amongst the arrivals here this morning. The weather is beautifully fine now, but there was a frost last night, which has done considerable injury to the blossoms of the fruit trees; the hop-grounds, however, look well, and a fair crop may be expected. A Gen tleman, will arrived from Paris last night states, that in the French capital lodgings are by nu means scarce. —Many families had quitted their lodgings for the country, with the view of letting them fur the Corona tion ; they are all much disappointed ; at Rheims they ask 501. for two rooms for 15 days. THE DUCHESS OF NoRTHUMBERLAND AT PAWS. -....-- PARIS, MAY 15. His Majesty arrived this morning from St. Cloud, before 11 o'clock, and gave audience to Cardinal de Clermont Tonnere, after which he attended Mass in the, Chapel of the Palace. During Mass, Baron de Labile' went with a carriage belonging to her Royal Highness the Dauphiness, to fetch from the Hotel the Duchess of Northumberland, Ambassadress Extraordinary of England. Oa the arrival at the Palace, the Duchess rested he self in the Salon of the Ambassadors,l waiting for her reception, which took place a:ter Mass. The Ambasadress was afterwards conducted in the same carriage to the Pavilion of Flora, to the bottom of the grand staircase, and entered the apart. milts of the Dauphiness, where Lady Glanville, the Lady of the British Ambassador, was waiting her ar rival. The Dauphiness, who on this occasion repre sented the Queen, having arrived, sat down in an arm chair, surrounded by a brilliant circle of the Ladies of the Court, most distinguished for their rank and their birth. Her Royal Highness commanded the Duchess de Damas, her first Lady of Honour, to introduce the Ambassadress ; she was then conducted into the grand audience chamber of the Princess, to whom she was presented with all the ceremony usual at Court. 'Her Royal Highness rose, and having embraced the Ambassadress, invited her to sit down in the circle; and immediately after, the King, accompanied by the Dauphin, arrived. His Majesty spoke in the most flattering manner to the Ambassadress, and soon after his Majesty and his august son retired. The Ambas sadress having taken leave of her Royal Highness, paid a visit to Madame the Duchess of Berry. She was introduced by the Countess de Noailles, in the absence of the Duchess of Reggio, her Lady of Honour, and presented to her Royal Highness, who received her standing, and afterwards invited her to sit down on a folding chair (unplconi), opposite the arm-chair. All the Ladies surrounding her Royal Ilighne.s remained standing. The Ambassadress having retired, paid a visit to the Duchess de Damas, Lady of Honour to the Dauphiness, and immediately after was reconducted to her hotel, with the same ceremony as on her arrival. The Duchess of Northumberland had two carri +gas following her ; the costume of the Ambassadress was • rich and brilliant in the extreme : she was covered with diamonds; the mantua, in particular, was of extraor dinary richness, and so covered with embroidery, that two beareri could hardly carry it. On occasion of the reception of his Grace, there was a grand dinner in the apartments of The Dauphin, at which the Count de Cosse Brissac presided : the Duchess of Northumberland and Lady Granville were present. At half• past one there was a Council of Ministers, at which his Majesty presided; it sat till a quarter past four. His Majesty will return to Paris on Thursday, and there remain till his departure for Rheims. It is declared that the return of the King to the capital shall take place on the 6th of June, and not on the 4th, as was at first said. The King intends to give the army a striking proof of his satisfaction, and to grant it on his coronation 8001 Crosses of the Legion of Honour, of which sixty are for Officers. Letters have been received from Cape Coast Castle, stating th; arrival of the transport Marquis Handy, with the detachment under the command of Captains BURROWS and BARILLIER, of the Royal Afiican Co. , ' lonial Corps. At the date of the letters the Colony was very sickly. Nothing fresh had transpired relative to the Ashantees. _ _ _ A Bill has been introduced into the House of Lords to divide the parish of Mary.la-Bonne into four dis tricts—to have four Churches—the Church in Wynd ham-place to be called by the name of " Saint Mary's Church, in Saint Mary-la-Bonne," the Church in Lang ham-place shall be called by the name of " All Souls' Church, in Saint Mary-la-Bonne," the Church in Staf ford-street shall be called by the name of " Christ Church, in Saint Mary-la-Bonne,' and the Church in tended to be built in Osnaburg-street shall be called " Trinity Church," &c. CLoNuaL, MAY 11.—Friday night, a Rockite notice was pawed on the door of Edmund Faby, of Parkstown, 111 the Barony of Eliogarty, threatening him with death unless he quitted the care-taking of a farm for his master, Mr. LANPHEIR, where he had lately been placed, and from which .the former tenants had been ejected for non-payment of rent. WATIRTOED, MAY 12.—0 n the night of Friday, the 6th instant, a barn and haggard at Carrigane, on the lands of Sledy, in the county of Waterford, belonging to MICHAEL RIYIERS, Esq. of Tybroghoy, county Kil kenny, were maliciously set fire to, and consumed.

The debate of Tuesday night, in the Upper House, was the most animated and protracted witnessed for many Sessions. The public interest seemed roused to the highest pitch. The doori of the House of Lords were besieged by anxious crowds from an early hour in the forenoon, and when opened, at. half-past four, the rush for admission was for some time tremendous. None were admitted but on Peers' orders. At five o'clock, it was two-thirds full. By the arrangement of .Sir THOMAS TYRWHITT, the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, the inner space without the bar was exclu sively reserved for the Gentlemen connected with the Public Press; and for some hours, while the reserva tion continued, the accommodation afforded by it was great indeed. The space railed round the throne was occupied by a throng of Members from the House cf Commons, among whom we noticed the Irish Attorney- General, who stood during the whole night, with Messrs. BBOWNLOW, DAWSON, HOISHOUSS, PASCOE Gnswritt.t., Colonel TRENCH, and several others.— Toe Duke of NORFOLK, Lords SrounroN and CLIF FORD, were seated in front. The space at the left hand of the throne, within the curtain, was allotted to Peer ess's, who filled the seats in full dress, several also found accommodation at the opposite side of the throne, aid stood on the steps for several hours among the Memberil of the Commons House. Among the crowd below the bar, Mr. O'CONNELL stood conspicuous in front,. with a Roman Catholic Prelate near him ; Mr. O'CoNsion, sea. Mr. LAWLESS, of Belfast, and others of the. Deputation. ' were also present. Lord KENYON and Sir T. LETH. BRIDGE were engaged in earliest conversation some time before the proceedings of this memorable night com• menced. The Bishops Bench was thin until nearly six o'clock. The Bishop of CHESTER, the ablest opponent of the Bill, was the first Prelate who took his seat.. At five o'clock, Earl GREY entered the House, and laid on the table a mass of Petitions, among them one of im. mense bulk, that from the Roman Catholics of Eng land, signed by the Duke of NORFOLK, all the ,Catho lic Peers, and 30,000 individuals of that persuasion.— Lord SYDNEY, from the opposite benches, also laid, at the same time, several Pctiti ns on the table, against the Bill. Soon after five o'clock the Duke of Yoast entered the House, with the Petition from London,Westminster, and Southwark, agaiiist the Claims of the Catholics, under his arm, with another, which he presented, from Cardiff.. His Royal Highness took his seat on the front Ministerial Bench, exactly opposite his brother, the Duke of Susssx, who had been in Ye House some time. The presentation of Petitions lasted until half-past seven o'clock. Earl Guity's speech, on laying that of the Catholics of England.betore the House, was most elo quent and impresrve. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE, presenting two Petitions from the countrof Waterfor4, and town of Bandon, in Ireland, in favour of the Bill, delivered his sentiments also as to the necessity of this measure in the most unqualified terms. The Marquis Of LONDONDERRY laid another Petition in favour of the Bill before the House, and advocated the concessions to the Catholics in the strongest language. The Petition I rom the Serjeants at Law, King's Counsel, and several members of the English Bar, in favour of the Bill, was also presented. After the Duke of YORE had laid on the table the London, Westminster, and South wark Petition against the Bill, the Duke of Sussex presented one from the Archdeacons and Clergy of the parish of Sudbury, in Suffolk, in favour of it, which his Royal Highness read at length. Two Pe titions to the same effect were presented by the Mar quis of LANSDOWN—one from the Members in Con. vocation of the University of Cambridge, signed by the Greek Professors, the Professors of Anatomy, and Astronomy, and by a number of Graduates; another from several Members of the University of Oxford. Lord LANSDOWN also presented Petitions from Liver pool, with 7,000 names attached, and from ten Irish Protestant Peers, and a number of Irish Protestant Gentlemen, in favour of the Bill. On the opposite side, the great Mancherer Petition, with 30,000 names, pre sented by Lord Lisrearoot, was arrayed with several other Petitions of the same character, presented by the LORD CHANCELLOR and several of the Bishops. A number of splendid equipages, and a host of non descript vehicular*, passed along the Bridges this morn ing, on the road to Epsom, to witness the great Deal Race. The norsemen were numerous, and many of them, from the frequent application of the whip-hand alternately to the head and the crupper, seemed to entertain no earthly concern for anything but the loss of their hats or their horses tails I _ The motley fraternity who hawk about what are called dying speeches, yesterday took a turn at some speeches which are likely to live for many years to come, and retailed a halfpenny edition, with numerous engravings, of the debate on the Catholic Question ! Tuesday, a pair of doves, named Bang, were intro duced to the Magistrate at• Hatton garden, Mr. B. complaining that Mrs. B. was a drunkard and virago, that she had banged first a Cupid, then a Veins (images), at him, which latter deity doubled him up, and after wards smoothed (knocked) him down with a poker! Mrs. B. retorted, and spoke at considerable length, but the Magistrate advised a reference. However, when Mrs. B. got Mr. B. into the street, she grabbed him by the occiput, and swore she would stick to him like bird-lime; but a temporary separation was ultimately agreed upon, at the instance of—the constable's staff. The great uncle of the late JOHN PHILIP Kamaug, and of course of Mrs. SIDDONS, and Mr. CHARLES Kumar, was a Rotnan-Priest, in the reign of CHARM, the First, at Hereford, and was there tried, condemned, and executed in a place then called the Wide Marsh, now the race ground. His hand was cut off, and about 'thirty years since, was in the possession of a Mr. Fags MAN, a respectable Roman Catholic, dwelling within two miles of that city, wheie it was employed by the s uperstitious to touch wens and sores, under the idea of being endowed with supernatural virtues. Saturday, the Steam Engine was set to woi Von the Great Tower that forms the principal shaft of the Grand Royal Tunnel under the Rivet Tbames.—The work is going on with great rapidity.

The Annual Meeting of ,this Society, which has for its object the diffusion of Religinus Knowledge over the Continent of Europe, was held yesterday, in Free masons' Hall, which was crowded with a most respect able assemblage of its supporters. H. DRUMMOND, Esq. took the Chair, supported by several eminent persons and the Officers of the Society. The Report of the Committee of last year's pro ceedings was read, which detailed the progress of the Society abroad. It stated, that in France and Ger many, if the gross superstition which had so long ex isted had in some instances been broken, it had been by the prevalence of a system of infidelity, phich, while it struck at the abuses of Christianity, aimed at the extinction of its vital principles. Theo e were, however, some people in both countries, who maintain the an cient faith uncorrupted. To assist them, the Society have employed Native Preachers, who ravel in various parts. In Flanders, in the North of France, Paris, Or leans, the course of the Rhine, Switzerland, Spain, and Hamburgh, Agents have been stationed, who, as sisted by Colporteurs, and in some cases by intelligent Catholics, have effected the objects of the Society, and diffused the word of GOD amongst a number of individuals. In every station, Sabbath and Week-day Schools are establishrd for the education of the chil dren. The Report concluded by calling on the Meet ing for further pecuniary assistance. Several Gentlemen then addressed the assembly in furtherance of the objects of," the Society ; and the Com mittee being appointed for the ensuing year, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned. THE Caops.—The young wheat looks remarkably well thrcughout Sussex, Surrey, and Kent, and vege tation was never remembered to be generally in a more flourishing state. The following is an extract of a letter, dated Ma ranham, 3d April Lord COCHRANE is on board his frigate, some miles distant from the city. Very serious consequences are apprehended from the dryness of the season. The rains generally commence early in Ja nuary, and hitherto we have only had a few partial showers. It is expected the cotton crop will be very 'small, and an almost total failure of farina and rice: We have received accounts from Porto Cavello to the end of March. On the 12th of that month, the Consul of the United States at that port, had issued the following notice : " For the information of the Public, and the Commercial Community in particular, I have to advise you, that the Intend• ant of Venezuela has issued Decree, which makes tree from do. ties on importation, all kinds of Mi:sestres, such as rice, corn, peas, and beans, for the space of five months.

RATE Or TRAVELLING IN 1712 AND IN 182.5. Aeration of the Northern Mails.—Friday last, the pro jected acceleration of the mail to Edinburgh took place, and two coaches now run daily through Newcastle for the two capitals. The prescribed time for the direct mail from London to Edinburgh is 46 hours; but it accomplished the first journey in about 45 hours! As a contrast to this expedition, we republish the following advertisement from the Newcastle Courant of 1712. What a difference I— " Edinburgh, Berwick, Newcastle, Durham, and London Stags Coach begins on Monday the 13th October,l7l2.

Wiliam RenyOn, aged forty-one, was put to the bar, on al indictment charging h'm with stealing a geldin4, value 251. the property of William English. The pri soner, on being called on to plead, said he was Guilty, but having been admonished by the Court, and informed that if he persisted in such a course sentence of death would be passed on him at the end of the Sessions, be retracted his plea and was put on his trial. The facts of this case have been so lately reported in the Police reports, that it is only necessary to state that he was found Guilty—Death. Tht re was a second indictment againit the prisoner, but that was not gone into. • Daniel Morgan and James Drown, the former eighteen, and the latter only fifteen ) ears of age, were put to the bar, charged with burglariously bre eking and entering the dwelling-house of Henry Mitchell, of Thomas ftreet,Grosvenor-square,and attempting to steal therein. —The prisoners were found concealed in the house before they could eff e ct the robbery, and taken into custody. The Jury found them Guilty. NEW COURT. John Foord, a decent looking man, was indicted for stealing an umbrella, value ss. from out of No. 13, Committee Room, in the House of Commons, on. Fri day last, the property of Mr. N. Broadmead, attorney. The prosecutor deposed, that having business in the said Committee-room, he went there about one o'clock in the afternoon, and left his umbrella behind the door; on his leaving again, and looking after his property, he missed it. Witness then made enquiry, and traced it i lA° the hands of an officer : the umbrella now produced was his property. John Lane, a messenger in waiting at the room, said, he saw the prisoner,about three o'clock, on the staircase, proceeding towards Mr. Bellamy's apartments. Witness asked him what he wanted ? He replied, a Member of Parliament, to get a frank. On questioning the pri soner respecting an umbrella under his arm, he said he took it out of-No:1S, Committee-room, having lost one himself the day before ; he secured that in its stead. An officer was then sent for, who took him into custody. The prisoner, in his defence, addressed the Jury at some length ; he admitted taking the property away, but not with an intent to steal it, and his intention was to bring it back again before the Committee broke up, in the hope of finding his own. The Commis SZILIZANT summed up the evidence, and the Jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty. SPORTING INIELLIGENCE. EPSOM RACES, MAY 16. The Course was more numerously, as well as more respectably attended this day than yesterday, but still the attendance of the beau :Kaiak was extremely deficient. The grand muster is reserved for to-morrow (this day), and should the weather prove favourable, it is anticipated that the display of beauty and fashion will exceed anything which has been witnessed for many years. The demand for horses in town has far exceeded the supply, and every inn, lodging, and stable, in the town and neighbourhood of the Downs have been engaged at the customary race charge. The weather this day was extremely propitious, and the sport, although not of first-rate consequence, afforded a good deal of amusement to the novices.

BOXING. _ _ Tug Seam Mvart.a isms Rzants.—These men had a pliant fight on Tuesday, near Chalk Farm, in consequence of a boast on the part of Readie, that he could lick the Sprig in twenty minutes. The Sprig weighs but eight stone and a half, and Readie b about ten stone. In the second round the Sprig was thrown heavilyeafter which he fought cautiously, and finding that be was certain of not being beaten within the time stipulated, be went to work heavily. At the eapiratiOn of twenty minutes he left off, being content in proving that Readie could not finish him so quickly as he thought.— Had he gone on, the superior weight of Readie must have carried him through. The winner get a guinea for his labours. Another fight took place on Monday, in Peckham-fields, between William Shields, an Lfibernion,and Robert Smout,from 2urjes tend, for five sovereigns aside. It was a national affair, in which Pat was resolved to take the shine out of the Welchman, who was backed by his countryman, Ned Turner. It was as pliant a battle as has been witnessed for some time. Both men went to work fear. lessly, and smashed each other in the most finished style. Smout took the lead, but Shields was not to be told out—he was as game as a lion, and although severely punished, be succeeded in reaping the laurels of victory in the twelfth round. PERESTRIA?iISM.
