His Excellency Baron Binder, late Anstiian Minister I,i , hon, passed through here on the 25th, to return to Vienna. He has been to Johannisberg. This morning we receive 7mb of the Paris Papers of Sunday as had not previously reached us, but they contain no intelligence worth quoting. The fall of M. CIIATEAUBRIAND is now attributed to his having fa vowed the recent conspiracies in Portugal. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE: "PAM, JrLT 3. " The Newspapers never hesitate to criticise the rtrt- - sures of Government, and, if one were to credit them, affairs would go on much better if they were at the head of them ; I do not know whether this *mild be the CASC with the Editor who gives us Sir Charles Bagot for Sir Charles Stuart, as Ambassador at this Court.— Even if the English Government meditated any diplo matic changes, it would hesitate a long time before it changed Sir Charles Stuart, whose diplomatic skill and sound judgment, and whose intimate knowledge of the whole arcana of French politics would render him very difficult to replace ; for any one to be Ambassador at this Court and do justice to the interests of his own, he ought to serve a noviciate of a year at least under Sir Charles Stuart." - THE KING.

The Ma. gull of HERTronn gave his first grand din. Ler at his fine mansion in Plcccadilly, on Sunday. The guests were of the highest consideration in the century; and the entertainment corresponded with the delicate and refined taste of the Noble Mar quis, who, on these occasions, far excel' all competitors in the nicety and chaste selection of his viands. The splendour of the furniture, and the extreme beauty and grandeur of tbe decorations of the in terior of this princely palace are not inferior even to Nonliumber laud House. The Earl of HA RROWEY is gone to Tiverton for a short time. Yesterday morning early, Lord BEXLIY left town fur awt.a..tasip.matto•am.re.

The young Lady who has made so promising a debut at the English Opera Home, is the daughter of Mrs. Heaver, an Officer's widow whose husband, we believe was killed in the Ps :lnsular war, mil left her saber family in stialtened circumstance& Ea daughter at a very early age manifested a predilection for the stage, and idw Hum proposed to put her under Mr. Pituurs's cue; but he dimppeovod of the plan, and she was platted in other bands. About twelve months since she played two singing characters co the Dahlia boards. and was considered to have robed much capability fee the stage, and to have sufficient voice; but her sing ing was greatly deficient in syllabic articulation and style. Her mother then renewed her entreaties to Mr. Punrns to take her as his pupil, who, upon hearing that her former master despaired of making anything of her, instantly consented to receive her, and accordingly she was ardeled to him at the commencement el bet winter; since when his efforts have been directed towards forming her voi ce, and giving her the pronunciation of words by his own v ey oc st al em a , rt o d f e w live hi re ch d h L e h A as u given an lion in its lecres on and blin. In his own per au ' em. anee, Mr. Putman has always made the pronunciation and accent of his ws.rds his first objects, and he has endeavoured to impart their acquirement to his pupils. So far, in Ms task with Miss Heaver, he has been successful. She is now just turned of 'lateen; and if her progressive improvement be in proportion to that of the last sis months, she is likely to do him no small credit.

Mrs. BLAND, whose distressed condition has ex cited so much sympathy in the minds of her fellow• performers and of the public, took a benefit, or rather had her name put up for one, at this Theatre last night. It is a curious fact, that the benefit of a reduced actor or actress is almost the only charity which the London people will go to a playhouse to support. Most of the " nights" attempted for general benevolent purposes fail; while the appeals of direct theatrical origin, nine times in ten, are decidedly successful. Mrs. BLAND'S bill last night was a very attractive one; and her re ceipt, independent of presents, mutt have been consi derable. Euarrrorr acted in the Liar; and his Young Wilding is agreed to be beyond all price. MATHEWS played Morblest, in the farce of Monsieur Mason, with very great applause, and good effect. With great eccen• tricity and humour, and above all, liveliness of limb, throughout the part, he makes a half pathetic touch of the " reduced Generale de Division" effective now and then; and, as a favourite (absolute), he can venture to throw in his own jokes occasionally, some of which are not unhappy. Among the good things of the evening, Kt4rowr did justice to the old favourite of Kitty Clover, and in his encore, introduced the following verse at the conclusion: " Sweet Iraq Clover, my bliss does not know, Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! For she never has heard the rapturous hand Give justice and pr.ise to our favourite Banat, Whose voice always made all our bosoms to glow ; But why need I speak what our patrons well know r The performances of the night concluded with the farce of The Mayor of Garrott, supported by Mr. Hui- SELL and Mr. Dowrow. Almost all the leading L .n. don actors who could be spared horn other Theatres, and several of the leading performers of the Italian Opera, contributed their aid towards the entertainment. The whole—though it lasted very long—went off in a tray to give general satisfaction ; and the house, we was pleased to see, was crowded in all parts. PPE LEO X 4 Pope Leo XII. who appears to have none of the li beral feeling which distinguished his predecessor, has at length published the encyclic letter which every new Pope, on his elevation to the triple crown, usually ad dresses to the Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops, and Bishops, of the Roman Catholic Church. In the first part of this production there is nothing very remarkable, either in style or substance, it we except those passages which relate to the duties of the Bishops, and the dan gers of political reforthation. The following sentence would appear to be addressed to the Prptestant Prelates of the Church of Ireland t —" The Bishops who do not endeavour to obey the precepts which enjoin residence and pastoral visit., shall not escape the ter rible judgment of the Supreme Shepherd, in pretending that they are exempted from those duties by the appointment of capable Ministers." In speaking of attempts at political and religious re formation, his Holiness thus speaks : " What terrible combats have arisen in war time! what terrible opposition is daily manifested to the Catholic Church! Who, in recalling them to his mind, can re frain from tears? It is not the small spark of which St. Jerome speaks. No! it is not a small spark, but a flame that threatens to devour the universe, to consume the most extensive dties, walls, and forests s it is a coven capable of leaveni sthe whole lump." " And what do we mean by dim r asks his " We awns a sect, which. arrogating to itself the false name of philosophy, has raised from their ashes the dispersed phalanxes of almost all errors." " This sea," centimes the Pope, "covered externally with the flattering appearances of piety and liberty, professes tolerantian (for thus they call it), or indifference, and extends it not only to civil stairs, of which we do not speak, but even to those of religion, teaching that GOD has given men an entire liberty, so that every one may, without danger to his salvation, embrace or adopt the sect or opinion which pleases him according to his private judgment It is true, this error is not new, but in our days it is let loose with more audacity against the stability sad purity of the Catholic faith t for 'Zombies relates after Rhodon, that this mad idea was propa gated by-a certain ApeUes, heretic of the second century, who main tained that it was not necessary entirely to search out the faith, but that-each paean should remain firm in the opinion be had once formed. ApeUes affirmed that those were to be saved who put their trust in Jesus Coma, provided always that death eurprised them in good works." After recapitulating some other heresies, and observ ing the much greater lengths to which the tolerance of modern times proceeds, the Pope concludes thus: " Goa, who confounds the wisdom of the wise, seems to have given up the enemies of his Chuech, and the detractors of superna tural revelation, to a reprobate sense, and to that mystery of loiquity which was written on the forehead of the shameless woman, of *hens the Apostle St. John speaketb ; for what greater iniquity than to am these proud men not only abandon the true religion, bet attempt to surprise the simple by sophisms of all sorts, by words and writings full of artifice?

MR. O'CONNELL. The Dublin Siar announces that Mr. DANIEL O'CON. NELL has retired from public life. This is the best sacrifice the Learned Gentleman could make; and is an important step towards the tranquillity of Ireland. One paragraph in his farewell is amusing : he says he has no time to vindicate his character; indeed, it would be impossible to vindicate it effectually now, as his •4 kind friends have given him an Augean stable to cleanse." Be this as it nay, we are sure most persons will agree with us, that nothing in his public life became him so much as the leaving it. The following is a copy of the letter in which Mr. O'CoNNELL announces his gra" tifying deteimination; Merrion-square, Tintrulay Night. SlR—When on a recent occasion I remarked, in a spirit of injured pride, on the conduct of the Deblin Pass, I certainly felt myself supported by a consciousness of my personal integrity. I de. lied the Influence of the members of that Press so long as any 'charges they might oppose to my character were bottomed in truth. Their deviation from fact, however, alone •tarprises and oppresses me; and I feel it hopeless to contend again t a power directed by the fiercest spirit of hostility, and disregarding alike political connec tion and moral principle. I have had a painful, indeed a convulsive struggle, with myself, before I could come to the resolve which it is the object of this letter to communicate, through you, to my enslaved and suffering countrymen. I determine, sooner than continue a victim to false hood, and the most unprincipled desertion of me on the part of the Press I so long patronized, to retire from public life, and to devote the rest of my days to obtaining for my country by prayer to the Moss Hum, those political blessings which, under more auspicious circumstances, I should have fought, and have perished, to have se cured to her. I have no time at present to &vote to the vindication of my cha racter; indeed, it wdeld be impossible to vindicate it effectually mew, foe my kind friends" have given me an Augean stable to cleanse. When the pressure of my Nisi Pries business shall have a little subsided, and the interests of my clients shall have beets duly secured, I mean to trespass upon your columns with a full exculpa tory address to my darling countrymen. In closing my political career, I mean to throw myseifopon the liberality of the Protestant Press, in preference to seeking kindness at any other hands • and like Napoleon, who cast himself upon the humanity of the hands; nation, and his brave exemplar, Themistocles, I feel that in recurring to your Journal, I shall place my reputation in the hands of the most powerful, the most constant, and the most generous of ail my enemies. DANIEL O'CONNELL. tNoti 2T vac Entros.—We now look upon Mr. O'Connell as a dead man—and Goo forbid that we should pursue an enemy, even an enemy like kiss, beyond the gravel Saturday night, between ten and eleven o'cl ck, as Mr. Fairclough, a iespectable tradesman in the Borough, was returning to his residence, he was robbed of El t 6 in the following manner :—Two men, of genteel ap. pearance, accosted him in Union-street. One of them addressed him in the most familiar terms, saying— Well, Mr. Fairclough, how do you do? I hope you are better." Mr. Fairclough, who has been for some time labouring under an attack of the gout, replied that he was still very unwell, and it was with difficulty ke could hobble along. Upon which the '• Gentlemen" politely offered their services, and begged to be permit ted the pleasure of seeing him to his door. The assist ance was accepted, and Mr. Fairclough leaned on the arms of the strangers until be reached the corner of lied Lion-street. Here the two men wished him a good night, assuring him at the same time that they were proud in assisting a respectable min home. Soon after their departure, he discovered that his pocket-book had 'been taken out of his inside coat-pocket, containing the above sum. Mr. Fairclough has given information of the robbery at Union Hall. Ltimirsitre.—Tuesday afternoon Leeds was visited by a thunder-storm, %bids, though of short duration, proved more fatal to human life than any storm which has occurred for the last fifty years. The afternoon had been very sultry, and about five o'clock the approaching storm produced an extraordinary de gree of darkness, which rendered the vivid lightning which illuminated the gloom more awfully impressive. A boy about 13 years of age, of the name of William Ridley, who was attending at the Waterloo Coal Staith to load a waggon, was struck instantaneously dead by the electric fluid. His hat was split, the hair on the back of his head singed, and his neck and breast were much scorched. Two boys who were standing near him were knocked down, but did not receive any serious fn jury. An Inquest was held on the body the following • day, which returned a verdict of Aceideatal Death. Tuesday, York was visited by a Level e storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied Kith heavy rain. It however appears that at several other places, where the storm was also experienced about the same time, it was much more severe. Above twenty trees were torn up by the roots at Sand. Hutton, and at Riccal birds, in attempting to fiy, were blown against the walls nub great violence and killed. Monday sennight, six fine deer in the Marquis of Srartostea park at Trentham, and on Tuesday a cow belonging to a labouring man in that neighbourhoOd, were killed by lightning. On Sir Huattway Disvv's late visit to Portsmouth, two boats were ordered to be coppered in the Dock-yard, for the purpose of ascertaining the eaten' of benefit to be derived from the new mode otsbeatking ships' bottoms. The boats were placed in quiet water, and were suffered to remain unused the softie, dew appointed for the eiperituent- One of them was sheathed ao the old plan, the other m the new. On taking them out, on Fridailthe I ltk ult. for the inspection of Sir Hustenav, the former was found slightly covered with a muddy deposit, and to appearance muck as. when launched; but the entire coppering of the biter was hid,let, by small live animals which lie apparently by millions amongst a thich in mad on which a sea grass, sit indict io kngth, bad grown in abundance. This effect was utdesoktAl feria practice, as it =sachem been impossible to calculate in theory, and excited mu& surprhe. Whether the electrical sensation is a gratifying otte to tits animals which it seams to have gathered, or it possesses an ussivoid able power of attramion on ouch small object*, it is difficult to sew, and it will probably elate much discussion amongst those who ant interested in the rum% If this product of the new mode be is evitable, the service of the copper in assisting the passage cheese!
