Tbis evening his Royal Highness entertains a firge party of Naval Officers to dinner, at his house iathe Admiralty. Last night's debate in the House of Commons is not more a matter of joy than resection, Mr. Pxxx, having declared, in the mon unequivocal terms, that it was impossible, under existing circumstances. that the Sacramental Test should continue, proposed that a declaration should be made and subscribed by all persons accepting of certain offices, to the effect that they would not exert the power and influence of their office to injure or subvert the Esta blished Church of England and Ireland, or the Kirk of Scotland; that no penalty should attach to the neglect of this declaration, but simply the avoidance or loss of office. and the nullity of all their acts n it. Its place, therefore, of those unintelligible and peevish,and fruit. less explanations which lately absorbed public curiosity, we had to witness a triumph of public opinion, accomplished in a manner which bestows immortal honour on the movers of the measure, and gives Ministers the fairest claim to the gratitude and confidence of all parties. But this triumph is valuable not only in its present heal ing effects, but more especially for the principles which thereby re. caved the solemn and uganimous recognition of the House. Al. though declarations, like Acts of Parliament, can scarcely be so vserded.o to prevent evasion, or even honest misconstruction, still, If they satisfy one party of its security, and do not offend the con science of the other, it would be the veriest philosaphisso to reject the compromise on any abstract no:ions. No doubt the best security of the Church is the rank, the wealth, the number of her adherents, who are attached to her by affection ; no doubt, too, she amply deserves the respect of those who, not within her pale. enter into her temple--the Constitution. Mr. Pam. observed, that be bad no desire to multiply oaths—let him not stop short there, let him decrease them ; the same principle which applies to the intended declaration has a further scope. A man of integrity is equally bound by his solemn word as by his oath; any other adds to breach of faith, an insult to religion. The application of this principle, at least to many ex dficio oaths, would relieve a very respectable body of Dissenters, who have conscientious scruples against taking an oath at an. In the Lords, Lord KING presented the Petition of which be had given notice, relative to the grants of public money to the Society fur the Propagation of the Gospel in foreign parts: the allegations of which were satisfactorily answered by the Bishop of LOADOS and Earl DATHOKST.--The Marquis of LAT:SLOWS. after an able speech of some length, moved the second reading of the Bills for the Consolidation and Amendment of certain portions of the Criminal Law. Both were read actosilingly, and ordered to be committed on Thursday sennight. We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday, and the G2zetie de France. dated Monday ; extracts horn which appear in our first page ; they add little to the intelligence already laid before our Readers; the latter contains the formula of the OAIII taken by Count Cspo d'lsenta on assuming the functions as President of the Government of Greece. It also states the mea• sures which the Count had introduced in the exercise of the supreme authority. An • ef.nt is to be made to no. gcciate a new loan in England, to answer the urgent calls of the Greek Government. By the earliest notices which have reached this coon- ' try of the circum►tances which followed Don Mtourtis larding, particularly his interview with the Qualm- 1 Martian, who is well known to be the unrelenting enemy of the Constitution, it was feared that the young Prince, instead of adhering to the Charter which he bad sworn to preserve, might endeavour to put it down. The private letters of the 11th inst. received yesterday by the Mail from Lisbon, do not state that he has yet made a public declaration against the Charter, or that he has usurped the Crown of his brother ; but the course of policy which he is pursuing. and the anti-constitutional excesses which he has encouraged, leave little room to doubt of the result. Tile departure of the British troops will probably be the signal for the fall of the Constitution, the revival of the loquisition, and the restoration of the Queen's party to power. Previous to the departure of D:tn Miouct, from. this country, Mr. Roruscuicu, we believe, ad vanced him about ,50,0001. for the purpose of giving some credit to the. Royal Bank at Lisbon. The re• payment, it is stated, was guaranteed by the British Government, sad the specie was shipped oa board Mr. liolitacsinea cutter, the Sir William Curtis, and wa• placed under the cartrof Sir'. LAMB, our Ambassadur a Lilboa. Hie Royal Highness, on the arrival of the money, it is said, wished to apply it to purposes dif• ferent from the arrangement which Nod induced his Majesty's Government to guarantee the re-payment; and Sir F. LAME, in consequence, ordered the Master of the Sir William Curtis to return with it' to Eng- land, and receive further orders from the British Go vernment. His Royal Highness is, by these circum• stances, deprived, for the present, of the means which would have enabled him to establish his absolute will. In the mean time, all sons of changes in the Ministry and Government of the country have been made, and all in favour of the old QUItleS party ; those Noblemen who were considered by their measures as most favourable to the Constitution, have been dis missed, and in some,instances openly insulted by the Lisbon mob at the entrance of the Palace. From these proceedings it were vain to deny the ob •ious truth, that the great majority of the people of Portugal, slaves as they are to superstition and to priestcraft, are as unviishful as they are unworthy of the blessings of Liberty. The letters from Lisbon state, that the Wellesley had sailed with the 11th Regiment for Cotfu ; that the 23d bad embarked on board the Ocean, but remained in the river to_take the money saved out of the Terror bomb to Malta, which had bt en lost atVilla Nova de Ivliliontes —that the 10th had embarked in the Revenge, and that transports had left the Tagus with the 10th Hussar,. The German Mail this morning brought the Austrian Observer to the Bth inst. it contains no Eews of import- ance. An article from Berlin contradicts the report that lately appeared in the Algerneine Zeitung, of the Duke of BRUNSWICK having embraced the Roman Catholic religion. The following are extracts: VIENNA, MAacil 6. Letters from Bucharest, of the 47th of February, say that news had heed' received there, by, a Messenger who had crossed the Danube at the risk of his life, in a small boat, with poles, to keep off the flakes of ice, that the ordinary post from Constantinople of the 10th of February had been for several days on the other side of the river (as has harpemed ante before this year), where it must wait till the ice is gone, by which it may be de. ta'ned score days longer.—Austrian Observer, March 7. • BRUNSWICK, Irlaricu 2. - • In No. 56 of the Alsemeine Zeitung we find the fol. lowing sentence, in a letter from Berlin : dg_ The news announced on good authzirity from Vienna, that the Duke of Brunswick had embraced the Romin Catholic religion, is the general subject of conversation, and people are impatient to see how . Prussia will declare itself on this occasion." This news, given on what is called good authority, is a clumsily invented fable, if it does not also belong to that class of falsehoods, in the propagatioaof which an evil spirit exerts every act, in order, no matter at what expense, to spread confusion. His Highness the Duke, immediately on his return from Vienna, attended the public Protestant service in the Cathedral, founded by Henry the Lion.

The George the Fourth left Cadiz on the 7th of March. They were Hying to raise the Hot tense French schooner, which had foundered at her anchor. Out of 26 of the convoy that were driven on shore, many were destroyed, and the others high and dry. At Gibraltar some had been got aflost, and were repaiting at Lisbon; some had their bulwarks gone—others their masts— others wrecked altogether. It is, we believe, perfectly true that the money sent to Lisbon by Messrs. Horuscumn, under the guarantee of the Briti h Government, has bi en returned ; Sir F. LAMB, under the circumstances, not having allowed it to be landeJ. _ The Duchess of GLOUCESTER, the Princess AUGUSTA, and the Princess Soma, visited the Duchess of Ciaavaca yester day, at bee residence at the Admiralty.

Thursday last, the Tyne Yeomanry Hussars, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Catmint:4, were formally disbanded. It is but an act of justice to observe, that the efficiency to which they had attained in military organisation, combined with their exemplary conduct as men, justly entitles them to honourable mention.

In the report of . a trial at Edinburgh the other day,. the LOW) Pawnniv slid—" I confess I was much surprised when I heard that the Navy Board had resolved to do away with the naval station at Leith, the consequence of which will be, that when ever a new war breaks out, the very ground which has been sold for a trifle must be bought back, if it can be got, or some other in a similar situation, at a most enormous price. An instance of this kind occurred in the short peace which followed the Treaty of Amiens. It was deemed advisable to sell a great many of the buff belts and old stores belonging to the second battalions—a certain person in Edinburgh bought them for a mere trifle, just an old song, as the saying is. Well, what happened? It was not long before the war broke out again, and Government were forced to buy back their own old stores, and the purchaser cleared no less than 25,0001. by just selling back his bargain. But that is what is called economy! Now, I shall venture to say, that the very same thing, or something very similar, will just happen again in reference to this naval yard. And, even at the present time, if any vessel, sent to look out for smugglers, or any other service upon this sta tion, should chance to lose a mast, or suffer any other damage, she must go to the Note, or some other naval yard at a very great dis tance, in order to be repaired. I hope the Navy Board will ytt think in time, and avoid such a very awkward resolution." Dimity LANK THEATEL—The Opera of The Slaw was performed last night. • COOPIR, as Gambia, was very effective. BRAHAM was in excellent voice, and introduced several songs with great success; he was rapturously encored in " The Year that's awn.* Jams, HARIAT, SHERWIN, Mrs. OEVSIN, and Mrs. C. JONES, exerted themselves successfully. Don Giovanni followed, in which Miss Love pers9nated the gay deceiver with great vivacity, and sung several songs extremely well ; her voice is a fine rich contralto. NEWCASTLZ•ON-TYNE, MARCH 18.—COLLIERY Ex• PLOSlON.—Another of those distressing events which have of late years been of 'so. frequent occurrence in this neighbourhood, has just taken place. At an early hour, we believe about two o'clock on Saturday roorn- ing, there was an explosion in Jarrow Colliery, which is the property of Messrs. T. and R. BROWN, of London. Eight of the poor pitmen were soon taken our of the mine dreadfully burnt, six of them lifeless,,and the other two in a shocking condition. One of'thern expired in the course of Saturday, making the number of per sons killed up to this time, seven. What renders the ca lamity greater is, that some of the sufferers have left large families. Monday night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, the inhabitants of the Haymarket were thrown into a state of alarm by a dreadful crash. It was soon dis covered that the whole of the gable end of the Tennis Court, on the side next the Haymarket, had fallen to the ground, which was about SO feet wide, and nearly 60 feet in height. The front wall in James-street was considered to be in such a dangerous state yesterday, that it was forced to be shored up, and barriers were placed entirely across the end of the street near the Haymarket, and also at the corner of Oxendon-street, so as to exclude entirely the approach of passengers. The Tennis Court, it appears, has been erected about 160 years, and it is expected that it must be taken down. An inquest was held yesterday on the body of W. Strange, the driver of the Worcester mail coach, who, on Monday, was driving the coach in Charles-street, Haymarket, when he fell from the box to the gtound in a fit of apoplexy. The wheel injured his head ; be died almost immediately. Verdict—Accidentally killed— deodand on the coach and horses Is. A Gentleman who has just returned from a tour of business through the manufacturing districts of the north of England, states the whole of them to be in a state of great prosperity. At Halifax, Bradford, Dews bury, and Leeds, the manufacturers say, that for the last six or eight months they have been constantly em ployed, to a greater extent than for 10 or 15 years previous, all on order, and to good account. At Roch dale the individuals who, twelve months ago, were saved from starving by the Relief Committee in Lon , clon, have struck work for an advance of wages. At Manchester the demand for goods has been so great, that some descriptions cannot be obtained without giving orders three or four months beforehand. One firm stated that they alone had employment for 500 additional bands. • ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. /ZONIS CIRCUIT.--MAiDSTONR, Maui 11. Caows Sim—Before'Mr. Sergeant 1:11.M.r.

Mr. Sergeant ONSLOW and Mr. BRODRICK were Counsel for the prosecution.

FIGHT BETWEEN. DICK ACTON AND NICHOLS' (A NEW BRISTOL MAN), FOR A'2s A SIDE. This fight was fixed to come off. at Hayes Commas.— "'Twas on this spot, in ancient lore oft faru'd, Jack RandaU and Joe Parish once held sway." All were ready at the rendezvous, the Shirty Arms, Shirty Common, about three miles from Croydon. From information received, l•Asvrever, it •was deemed expedient to prefer a meadow in Addington Lodge Bottom, about two miles distant; tlr:re as pretty a sing was formed as ever contained a hero. The men wete near at bane. Nichols appeared rather fleshy than otherwise, but in excellent spirits. Hi bad bees training et. the Jolly Sailer at Norwood. The arena was in. a valley of the most picturesque desc: iption, sod 'O4 hills, term ing a sort of amphitheatre, were studded with groups of the natives—male and female.' The be.ting was about five and six to four on Nichols.— . However, a county Magistrate interfered, and sent them all a gbing again. Smitharn Bottom was then named, and to it, they went across the country like wild fire. The ring was then pitched, and Nichols was waiting for full an hour, but Acton, from come mix take, did not make his appearance. Tl.e owner of • the ground, M , . Landsear, had interrupted, and went to fetch a Magistrate, who appeared, and said do fight should take place there. The Fancy then ad journed to Wimbledon Common, where 'they had hardly pitched when the Magistrate again appeared, and a move then took place to Middlesec. Wh.le the lads of the ling were some of them stopping with Acton, John Martin and young Dutch Sam came into collision, and some words ensued, during which Martin chal lenged him to fight for love. Sant, however, declined. When disturbed at Wimbledon Common twice, they removed to Parsons Green, and the ring was made to: the fifth time, at ten minutes past five. Acton came in first, and was loudly cheered; he seemed in et. cellent condition. Nichols tollowed. The preliminaries were settled, and the men went to work, Oliver and Reuben Marten looked after Nichols, and Peter Crawley and Harry Holt assisted Acton. At twenty-one minutes past five the men set to—they were well matched in size, and Acton made play fi rst, but nothing was done; they rallied, and Acton drew first blood from the butcher's left eye. Sparring again—when Acton put in a heavy right-bander, bat was floored by a body hit—(Loud cheers fur Nichol.). 2. loth cautious, Nichols made play, but Acton Jumped away laughing. Nichols stopped a setaight lefthander ; be fought cool and fretted the other, and was taken for choice; he, however, set ma weak; both then went Lto Tally, at which Acton had the brat of the hitting, but was thrown. 5. Acton let louse, but was stopped cleverly—(encore). Nichols then began but did no mischief, he tried again and caught the other heavily on the head, and tollowed up his hits till he floored him. 4. Nichols &gain, jobbed the other cleverly, and floured him by a body blow. 5. Acton piping like a bullfinch ; Nichols led in, a terrible rally, and both gave arid took terrible punishment. Nichols was, how ever, swung down. 6. Nichols the favourite everywhere. lie led as before, and Atton seemed almost useless; 'at length he was bit badly in a rally, and received such a desperate fall un his head and neck that he lay like a log, and all the efforts of his seconds could nut make him hear " time.' Nichols was the. _fore declared the winner, is fourtetu minutes. Governor Sir J. MALCOLM arrived at Bombay the 26th October. .
