TheCtbipet Cou.,ctl , hick we announced on Saturday, vas attended by the Earl of tivraroot., the Earl of WESTMORLAND, the Duke of WELLINGTON, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. PM, Mr. CANNING, Earl BATHURST Mr. 11USELiSON, VILICOUDI SIDEOUTH, &c. The Cabinet continued in deliberation till about 'five o'clock. Saturday, a Committee of the Lords of the Council assembled at the Council-o%ce, Whitehall, to hear Appeals front the Island of Jersey. Accounts Irom Corfu of the 23d ult. state, that the affairs of Greece wore a promising aspect. There were some jealousies anJ dissentions, but it was expected that the presence of the Turks would unite all parties, from the sense of common interest and common danger. The Turks have wholly failed in raising an Albanian force. The whole Turkish force in that quarter does not ex ceed 1,500 men, occupying Arta and Prevesa. Ac counts from Cimstantinople, by the way of Odessa, come down to the beginning of April. Great prepara tions were in process of being made against the Greeks, so great that they are regarded as the last stake of the Porte. The approaching will be the fourth campaign, and it is calculated more severe and sanguinary than any preceding one. Turkey, it is said, has not resources for a fifth. The eighth Anniversary of the Medical Benevolent Society was celebrated on Saturday, at the Freemasons' 'Tavern, Great Queen street, his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, Patron of the Society, in the Chair, supported by Sir H. HAI.FORD, But. P,esident of the College of Physicians, Sir M. TIERNEY, Bart. Dr. LATHAM, and upwards of fifty others of the first mem bers of each bratith of the profession. The Waters were so hi g h in the village of Lewisham, on Sunday week, that Dr. LEGGE, the Bishop of Ox ford, in general dries the duty of the Church, was -bliyed to be conveyed from the foot of the bridge to the Church, in a cart ; his Lordship having left his car riage and horses behind him. An absurd report is stated in the Cinotidienne, on the authility of letters from Constantinople, that Lord BY nos had been suspected there of being poisoned by some rival Creek Chief, jealous of tho ascendant which his Lordship „ v :1; gaining in the management of Greek affairs. THE ROYAL SANDWICFI ISLANDERS. Some of the statements which have been published respecting the King and Queen of the Sandwich Islands are very erroneous. His Majesty is of very gentlemanly appearance, and but for the darkness of his complexion, which is of very deep copper colour, might pass for an Faigli,hman, having in every respect correctly adopted our costume.: The Queen is not so tall, nor of so robust an appearance as has been represented. Her Majesty is certainly a fine full grown Lady, but very little above the middle stature ; she is remarkably well made, pos sesses an open and very agreeable countenance, not devoid even of sweetness and sensibility, with good eyes and teeth, and is by no means deficient in gracefulness of manner or elegance of demeanour. Already, with the exception of her bead-dress, which is very plain, has she, like her Royal Husband, conformed in a great degree to the English mode of dress and manners ; and whilst they throw themselves upon British protec tion, these interesting strangers seem in every, respect, desirous of benefitting from British example, and civH lized manners and taste. Their own native islands, it is only necessary for us to observe, are situated in the', South Sea ; they were among the latest discoveries of Captain Cook, who named them the Sandwich Islands, in honour or the Earl of Sandwich, unde r who se nava ll , administration these discoveries were made. Th e ' islands ara eleven in number, nine of which are inha bited. It was at one of these (owhyliee), that the great discoverer of them lost his tile, through sudden resent ment and violence; but the character of the people is eve►theless that of mildness of temper and affectionate I • The Rya Suite are eight in number, composed of the Gov•fi t/tr, his wife, Admiral of the Fleet, Treasurer, Secretary, ::;:cward, and two menial servants. On their way to this country they touched at Rio Janeiro, and during their .stay their Majesties were presented to the Emperor of Brazil, at • a Court Levee, when the Em peror was pleased to present the King with a most ele- Eant sword ; and in return the King presented the mperor with a most curious cloak or mantle, made of the richest materials of his islands, the outside of which is of feathers of rare birds, of the most beautiful colours.' Their Majestic: and Suite landed at Portsmouth, under', a salute of twenty-one guns from the ship. The follow ing. are the names of those distinguished Islanders : lithe° Ithio, the King: Kameharneha, Queen; Boky, Governor ; Twinny, Governor's Lady ; Kapihi, Ad miral ; Joanoa, Treasurer; John Rives (a Frenchman and Interpreter), Secretary; Macawcaw, Steward; Wawwaw, Maqmua, servants. SONS OF THL CLERGY. Ftiday the Anniversary of the Sons of the Clergy was held at St. Paul's Cathedral, when a performance of sacred music was given, and a sermon preached by the Dean of Worcester. The collection in aid of the Institution was one of the largest that has been known. The ft lends of the Citarity after wards dined together at Merchant Tailors' hail. About six o'clock the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor took the chair, supported on his right by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cla rence, and on his left by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. There were also present, the Archbishop of York, the Bishop of London, and a numerous assem blage of the Right Reverend Bench, amongst whom were The Bishops of Carlisle, Bath and Wells, Chester, Exeter, Llan daff, Limerick, and Sodor and Man; the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, Mr. Justice Park, Mr. Baron 'hillock, the Dean of Worcester, Sir Charles Flower, Bart. Mr. Alderman Ileygare, Mr. Alderman Garra:t, Mr. Alderman Key, Mr. Alder man ('ruwder, the Sheriffs, &c. t.. the number of about 300. Alter the cloth was removed, and Non Nubia Dontine given, the LORD MAYOR gave— " The King," and' The Duke of York and the Army." The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy ;" which was drank with very great applause. The DUKE of CLARENCE, in returning thanks, .ex presse.l himself anxious to support all the institutions of the country. He considered all our happiness to depend on our religion and law; and, as connected with the es tablished religion of the country, he felt the greatest pleasure in supporting this institution. His Royal Highness then rose to propose the health of " The Lord Mayor." It was one of the privileges of the City of London, that the Lord Mayor took pre cedence of every person, and ranked next to the King himself in the City. The health of the Lord Mayor was then drank; after which, his Lordship briefly returned thanks. He then proposed 6' The Archbishop of Canterbury," who ac knowledged the compliment. The next toast was, " Lord Chief Justice Abbott." The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE expressed his regret that his numerous occupations prevented his giving that personal assistance he could wish to this excellent insti tution. He could, however, as,ure them, that they had his heart warmly with them. The health of the Dean of Worcester was then drank, and thanks to him for his excellent sermon ; who re turned thanks. After which, the Archbi,hop Of CANTERBURY pro. posed the health of the Stewards, and the party sepa• rated, after making a very liberal subscription in aid of the funds of the charity. It appears by the published accounts of the Kensing ton Trust, that no less a sum than 1,000/. a year is paid out of the turnpike tolls towards keeping the pavement in Piccadilly in repair. COMBINATION LAws, ARTIZANS, &c.—The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the state of the law of the above, have reported to the House of Com mons their opinion, that masters and workmen should be freed from the restrictions under which they are placed by the existing laws against combinations, and be at liberty to make such agreements as they may think proper. In regard to artizans, they recommend that the laws against their emigration to foreign coun tries, and subsequent return, should be repealed ; and in regard to the exportation of machinery to foreign corm. tries, they recommend further investigation, and are desiious the inquiry should be resumed the next Session of Parliament.

SIR H. HARDINGE AND MR. BATTIER. We are authorised to publish the following correspondence : " U. S. Club, May 22, 1824. " MA% HARDDICT--I now address you on the subject of the message of Mr. Battier, referred by you to me, and I shall begin by noticing his letter in ' The Observer' of last Sunday, from which the following is an extract But I have no doubt of being able to prove that my friend's signature was obtained to a document which he had not thoroughly examined, relying on Sir Henry Ilar dinges being inc a p a bl e o f recor di ng t h e part i cu l ars partially or un truly.'—ln reference to the above, I need hardly say that the insinu ation thrown out thus, if proved, would have covered you with in famy. I have taken some pains, as you know, to investigate this matter, and to place it beyond the contradiction of any man ; al though no one acquainted with you would consider you capable of doing that which has been attributed to you, still it must be satis factory to you to see, by the accompanying document, that the re rotation is clothed in the substantial garb of evidence. I also send you herewith my note of the conferences which took place between Mr. Hunter, the friend of Mr. liattior, and myself, as well as copies of our correspondence. My reasons for denying that Mr. Battier had any claim upon you are there detailed, and you may make such use of them as you think proper; and I trust that the perusal of them will satisfy every man of high honour, and every friend to good order, that by acting otherwise than 1 have done, I should not only have betrayed the best interests of society, hut should have greatly compromised the dignity of the profes , ion wf which you are so bright an ornament, had I hesitated a moment in my refusal to suffer you to come down to the level of a man who, at the same in stant in which he was making a personal appeal of honour to you, was making to the world another, in the unmanly form of a foul and flagrant calumny.—l remain, my dear iliardinge, s , ery truly yours, •• CHARLES TURNER." " On the papers of the late Colonel Western being opened in our presence, there was found an exact copy of the statement which had appeared in the STAR of the 15th instant, relative to the duel which took place between Lord Londonderry and Mr. Battier; which copy we find was forwarded with a note from Sir Henry Hardinge to Lieut.-Colonel Western, through Mr. Battier, on the 9th inst. from which 'in.,: if appears that .ient.-Col. Western had previously examined and obierved upon this statement. There was also found another statement of the Same Officer (Col.Wecern), in his own Isind-writing, which was, in substance, sim:lar to that which appeared in The STAR, and to which Sir Henry lardinge had affixed the si3nattlre of " H. H." But in which statement several erasures and alterations in pencil appear to have been subsequently made by Lieut...Culonel Western. " There was also found a memorandum in pencil, relative to what took place on the ground, on a d-tacked piece of paper. (Signed) " CHAS. TURNER, Major-General. " T. 11 U NTER, Lieut. I sth Hussars.

" 51 , 1 DEAR Tuatata—l have receive d your letter, and the do cuments to which it refers, and entirely concur in every step you have taken. I know I need not here express my acknowledgments to you ; but I must state my conviction, thee having witnessed Mr. Battier's incapacity' to feel and act like a man of honour, that I could not without degradation to myself, and discredit to the pro fession to which I belong, have extendLd to him the consideration due to a Gentleman. _ _ " ' This conviction, if it had needed any additional force, would have acquired it from Mr. Battier's recent attempt to insult me in the street. His statement that he ventured to raise his whip over me is false, and; as you know, is disproved by a Gentleman, an eye witness of what did pass. Be assured no conduct of his can ever provoke me to alter my determination to consider him as utterly unworthy of my notice. " I am, my dear Turner, very faithfully yours, (Signed) " 11. HARDINGE.' " At a judicial sale on Wednesday, a parcel of land in Fifeshire was set up at 9,000/. and odd, and was sold for upwards of 11,0001. the rental of which is at pre sent only 3001. per an*um. _ _ _ Ex ECU ri ON S.-W ednesday William 31.Teague, con- victed at the last Circuit, for uttering forged notes of the Royal Bank, and of Sir William Forbes and Com. party's - Bank, was executed in front of the Court-house, Glasgow. His daughter was also convicted of the same offence, at the same time with her father, and sentenced to transportation for 14 years.—Friday se'nnight John Campbell, condemned at last Circuit Court at Sailing, to be executed for housebreaking and theft, suffered the sentence of the law in front of the Coot t-house there, surrounded by a crowd of spectators. DEATH OF SIR HENRY CLEMENT THOMPSON.—This Gentleman died suddenly in the King's Bench prison on Saturday night, where he had been confined since March last. His day-rule had been provided in the morning, but sudden indisposition prevented his using it, and be fore ten o'clock in the evening he fell suddenly from his chair. Messrs. Easton and Ward wet e prompt in procur ing medical assistance, but the spark of life was extinct. CORONER'S INQUEST.—An Inquisition was held on Thursday evening, before THOM AS HIOGS, Esq. Deputy Coroner, at the Triumphant Chariot, Pembroke-mews, Upper Grosvenor-place, on the body of John Riley, whose death was occasioned at the Marquis of LON DONDERRY'S. The deceased was a bricklayer, and worked for Mr. TODD, who was employed in enlarging a well staircase at his Lordship's house, in Park-Line, in which was a scaffold thiety-seven feet angle from the ground, the well-hole was in diameter twelve feet by seven, and the scaffold consisted of three short poles, which were across' the narrow way of the well-hole, each end was in the wall, and over them scaffld-boards. The deceased, with five others, including witness's son, were on the scaffold, when, by reasan cid a knot in one 'of the poles, the weight of the men, and also a quan tity of bricks, the pole broke where the knot was si tuated, and they were all precipated to the ground. The Jury returned their verdict " Accidental death by a fall—deodand on the scaffold one shilling." Among the various curiosities brought home in his Majesty's ship THETIS, Sir JOHN PIIILLIMORE, is the Sagassi Pecari, or Mexican Hog. It feeds on fruits and roots, and also on serpents, lizards, and toads, and will attack and devour the rattlesnake. IL is less than the common hog, has bristles nearly resembling the prickles of a hedge-hog, and is also distinguished by an orifice on its back, from which perpetually issues a fetid wa tery humour. The Sagassi will skin snakes by means of its teeth and feet, before it devout s them. STEAM ENGINE.—The King of the Netherlands has issued a decree, prescribing measures of precaution re lative to the employment of steam engines. By this decree, whoever intends to introduce a steam engine into the kingdom, for any purpose whatever, must give notice to the Governor of the province ; he must state the construction of the machine, the name of the maker, the capacity and form of the boiler, with its safety valves, &c. whether the boiler is made of cast or hammered iron, or of copper or brass; and last, what is the degree of pressure at wliich the engine is intended to act. These declarations are to be transmitted to the Ministers of the Department of National Industry and the Colonies, who shall appoint two or more qualified persons to examine the steam engine, before it is set to work, and especially to prove the boiler, so that in pro portion to the material of which it is made and its con struction, it may be able to bear much more consider able high or low pressure than that required for the force with which it is intended to act, and that in the following proportions: For a low pressure, th double. For a high pressure, the holier being of forged or hammered iron, of copper, or brass, the double. If the boiler is of cast iron, sextuple. BOW-STREET-THIS DAY. DBTRCTION OF A BURGLAR. J. Robertson was put to the bar, charged with burglariously break• ing and entering a house belonging to Mr. J. Wood, situate oppo site the one nt!le•►tone on the Bayswater-road, in the course of last night, and stealing property to a considerable amount, amongst which there was about twelve dozen of port wine. The prisoner, in company with another man. was met about one o'clock in the morning. on the road to town, by two of the night patrol. rrern their appersratice the officers ware induced to ques ti an them, and proceeded to s.-arch their persons, when the other man rail away, and contiived to get clear off.

Mr. Anderson started on the Colchester-road on Saturday morn ing, for two hundred sovereigns, in the presence of a numerous field of amateurs, to walk his horse (Mask) three miles, trot three miles, and gallop three, in fifty minutes. Betting was six to ft lir on time, and the horse was rode by the owner. The horse walked the first mile in nine minutes, twenty seconds; the second in nine mi nutes, thirty-five seconds ; and the third in ten minutes, five seconds. Total, twenty-nine minutes, after breaking into a trot four times. The trot occupied, in the first mile, three minutes, thirty-five se conds; the second, three minutes, fifty seconds; and the third, four minutes, twenty seconds, the horse having broke twice in the last mile. Total, eleven minutes, forty-five seconds. Nine mi nutes and fifteen seconds was left for the three miles gallop, and which wits the worst pace of the horse. The match was won cleverly, with thirty seconds to spare. PONY MATCH.

Those who make bets on the match will have the satisfaction at least that it will be a fair fight and no cross. George Weston has challenged Dick Sutton to fight him for £5O aside. CORN-EXCII RK.LA NE, MAY 24. We had good arrivals of all kinds of Grain last week, and a great supply of Oats. The fresh supplies this morning of Barley, Peas, Beans, and Wheat, from Essex, Kent, and Sortelk, are moderate. Some more vessels have arrived from the North with Oats. Prime dry samples of Wheat find buyers readily at an advance of Is. per qr. on the terms of this day se'nuigkt, but all other qualities go off heavily. The bonded Barley is liberated, which consists of nearly 40,000 quarters, all over the country ; the effect produced thereby has been more in anticipation than in reality; and the trade, though dull, fully support the prices of last Monday.
