The Count DITABAYANA, Minister Plenipotentiary from Don PEDRO to this country, is expected to leave town on his return to the Brazils, in the course of the present week. The Earl of ABERDEEN was sent for express, on Sa turday, and arrived in town in the course of the day, from the seat of Earl Cow PER, in Hertfordshire. Shortly after the return to town of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Prince LEVEN and Count METTERNICII had a conference with his Lordship at Argyll House, which continued for nearly two hours. The Marquis of CLEVELAND has just returned from a tour in Germany and the Netherlands, much improved in health. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, accompanied by the Earl of ABERDEEN, left town yesterday for Stow Hall, Norfolk, the seat of Mr. PEEL ; where a number of persons have already been invited, to form a shooting party.

A splendid stag-hunt was given on Monday week, in Killarney, by JOHN O'CONNELL, Esq. to the eons of Lord PLUNKETT. The hunt was given at Glens, and was considered one of the best witnessed for a long time. About forty boats were on the Lower Lake during the hunt. The stag gave excellent sport for about an hour, when he took the water. The dogs followed him'in full cry, and swam a considerable distance from the shore. Mr. Joust O'CoN ma. had the honour of taking the stag into his boat, and the dogs were picked up by the boats. Sir MANASSAH LOPEZ, who was present, ap peared greatly pleased with the sport. The stag was very fat, and appeared to be about eight years' old. He was not in the least injured. When the numerous parties had gratified their curiosity, and had admired the noble animal for some time, Mr. O'Coux zu. plunged him into the water, and he swam to the shore amidst the acclamations of the people ; when he reached the shore, he turned towards the boats, and looked about him in every direction ; after which he turned again towards the mountain, and sprang forward into the thicket. Another Stag-hunt on the Lakes was to have taken place yesterday in compliment to Lord Lzv ESON GOWER, his Lady, and suite. The Earl Of WESTMORELAND, the Marquis of STAF FORD, the Duke of NEWCASTLE, and other extensive landowners, have entirely removed from their grounds and preserves those horrid engines, spring guns.

We have received accounts from La Guayra to the 24th of July. They are entirely silent as to the return of Bouy *A to Bogota; the report in the Barbados' Paper must be considered untrue. THE ARMY.

Tuesday a meeting took place near Dover, between Capt. and a Mr. B. a gentleman well-known in the fashion able circles as well as the sporting world. Capt. S. was attended by a brother ollicer, and Mr. B. by a Mr. James 'Browne. After the asual preliminaries bad been arranged, the word was given, and in the same instant each received the shot of the other ; that of the Captain taking effect in the fleshy put of his opponent's thigh, whilst he received that of Mr. B just above the elbow.

This morning, oa our going on board, we found the Court assembled, and were sitting with closed doors. We reltr•ft sal the cause was, the sudden illness of Capt. DICIMIKIN ; they re mained in private deliberation until near eleven o'clock, when the public were admitted. The Assistant-Surgeon of the Victory was then called, who deposed that Capt. Diccenson was attacked with a severe cold, and had taken medicine ; and, in his opinion, be could not attend the Court without imminent risk—but he added, that he thought it probable he would be able to attend to morrow. The Court then adjourned tiU ten o'clock. We heard that it is not the intention of Capt. Dickenson to call any more witnesses, with the exception of one more, we believe the carpenter, when the de fence will be closed. After which the Judge-Advocate will read over all the evidence, which must consume a length of time ; which being done, the Court will deliberate with closed doors, until it pronounces its verdict, which it is thought will nor be done until Wednesday. From the established rules of Courts- M .rtial, the accused is always considered in custody on board the vessel in which he is tried, and it is considered a breach of orders of the Court fur any witness, or even a member of the Court, to address the accused by his name or rank—they should always. in address ing him, call him " prisoner."

The large sum paid by Covent-garden Theatre to the parish of St. Paul, in the shape of poor rates, arises from a portion of the vast space which the building now occupies having, during the existence of the old theatre, included a number of tenements, and the poor-rates assessed upon these tenements having been transferred to the theatre, un which they have been levied ever since.

It is very strange that, although the utility of a similar work, published in Paris by itl. BM:MIT, entitled Mowed du Unwire, has long been acknowledged, yet it has never until now been attempted in England. It will be indispensable to all book collectors. PROPER RESENTMENT. —A young gentleman of this city, returning home at a certain time, found his father with a gun at the cellar stairs, and was told that : the family dog exhibited symptoms of hydrop hobia. The news was extremely painful to the young man, for his attachment to the dog was very strong. Poor Tray was soon observed near a window, and, a rope being passed around his neck, he was dragged out and thrown into the dock, where it was supposed he would of course perish. A few days afterwards, to his surprise, the young gentleman noticed his old friend sitting in a tailor's shop at some distance, in good health, and of sane mind. The dog, however, did not recognise the ac quaintance, nor would he ever take the least notice of any one of the family, but maintained, at all times, an indignant reserve New York Journal.

NEW YORK THEATitEs.—The speculation in thea trical property seems worse rather in the United States tit to in this country. It is a singular tact, that though by lucky accidents la a few eases fortunes have been made in this way, mere than ten times that amount has been lost. A New York paper says, speaking of the destruction of the Mount Pitt Circus the day be fore—" It is worthy of remark, that this is the third Theatre which has been destroyed by fire in this city within the last fit. teen months. The Bowery Theatre was burnt May £6. 1848; Lafayette Theatre, April 10, 1829 ; Mount Pitt Circus, Aug. 4, 1829. The first has been rebuilt ; the two last, It is presumed, never will be—at least, until the taste for theatrical amusements becomes mere predominant than it Is at present. One other build ing, which was used last year for theatrical purposes, has been ern verted into a musical saloon, and another into a horse stable. The number of theatres still remaining, and used as suck, is three— Park, Chatham, and the I3owery.". It adds that only one of them is making a saving bminess of it." A marriage was lately solemnized in the wild but beauti ful glen of Urquhart, near Lake&ld. between George Anderson. the blacksmith of the di.trict, and :May Mac innald, a decent young damsel. who wormed in the same parish. As the " Gobbadhog.4- ghline," or blacksmith. is still a persnrpge of some importance in the thinly-peopled straths, a vast concourse of people assembled on the occasion, and numerous present. were made from all quarters, that there might be a competency of the good things of this world available at the ceremony. The younger •members of the families of Loehletter, Lakefield, and Corrienony, graced the scene with their presence, and there were in all about four hundred persons assembled. All the maidens displayed their snoods and plaids, and about ninety of the young men were dressed in the full Highland garb. The preparations for the feast woold not have disgraced an Moguls Corporation dinner or Vestry Meeting. There were 200 Scots pints or ICO English gal lons of whisky; 15 Scotch or 60 English gallons of home-brewed ale ; two cows ; 18 Highland wedders ; 12 salmon ; three dozen hens, 40 docks, and six turkeys; 30 brace of muirfowl, and six black cocks ; 50 stones of cheese ; seven stones of butter ; sia bolls of meal, baked into cakes; 50 cogs of crowdy ; with milk in all its varieties of preparation, and eggs," thick as leaves in Vanambrow."

He said be had no expectation be was to be called on for an account of the state of Religion in America. and as he was aware of the great value of their time, he would not detain them lorg. He had been edu• cared. licensed, and ordained, in the principles of the Associate Church, and though they differed from other bodies on some technical points—though they frequently evinced the usual frail ties of human nature, in promoting or defending their views, they were all cordially united under one great head in preaching salvation to perishing sinners through the atop. mint of tbe Sa viur Jesus CUILIST.

The Roman Catholics weir indeed making wolderful vacs Lions; whe the result would be he could not pretend to know. The Pope was taking a deep interest its the effort. of his adherents, and he had lately sent lUO,OOO crowns to encourage the erection of Churches in the vale of the Mississippi alone. The Catholics in that quarter amounted to nearly stx hundred thousand. and mime nunneries were in priibres- of erection. in order to lustier the young to repair to them, where their minds would he ensnared. Their congregations in America were composed of communi cants and adherent*. The :Ministers visited their adherents in the time of sickness; they kstructed and prayed fur them, but they allowed them none of the Church privilege.; they baprivd none of their ankh'. n till they became commu nicants, and this was the re oon that .0 many adults were fre quently baptized at one time. In America. the Church was governed in the same manner as in !his country ; they had Session., Synods, and General Assemblies, which were most punctually attended.
