This Memorial, alluded to in the STAR of yesterday, has just been published at Paris, and the following is its introduction: I entered into the Ministry on the 14th of December, 1841. Europe was then placed in grave and trying circumstances. The revolutionary spirit, propagated by secret societies, extended everywhere its ramifica tions, and already enveloped, as in a net, all the nations of the Continent. In Spain revolt made frightful pro gress: at Naples and in Piedmont the insurrection, sup pressed by force of arms, still struggled with the laws. In Switzerland rebel refugees conspired openly. The events of Befort, of Saumnr, of Timm, of Rochelle, early pointed out to the Government the dan gers which threatened the kingdom. The organization of a string and dreaded army bad become a necessary condition of the safety of the monarchy. It does not become me to recall my services, but I cannot do less than remark, that the men who have be come my enemies do not dispute with me the honour of having seconded the favourable inclinations of the late King towards the army, The lot of the soldier was improved. Encourage. ments and rewards were distributed with discernment, the choice of individuals made with tare, caused to spring up in all hearts the love of their country. The Frenchman soon understood his duty. It was sufficient to point out to him shades of distinction—op positions were effaced: A good understanding was established among men equally called to the defence of the Throne. I saw displayed arotrnd me that fidelity for the sons of St. Louis with which my own soul was penetrated. The impulse given unto my Ministry had tot slackened, and every day I can cons:imbue myself on the success of my labours. The spectacle of an army, such as that which the Peninsula saw, and such as still remains an example to rival nations, will ever be the consolation of my life. If, on all other points, vi:tory had decided in favour of legitimate power, it was not so in Spain. These every day added to the success of anarchy and troubles, too much resembling those of October, 1769, had led to•the capture of Ferdinand VII. It belongs to the na lure of populir doctrines to spread and to conquer; thirty years of agitation, of confusion and combath were sufficient to instruct us. Could I besides remain ignorant of the' impious lavishes, the secret plots, and culpable hopes of more than one exile? I would have deserved the reproach of `blindness and imprudence if our frontiers, threatened at once by civil war and foreign hostility, had not attracted my attention, and if I had not placed that part of France in security from danger or- revolt: . , confess, indeed, that when with a zeal, of which 1 haft a right to speak, when, with continued and eager cafe' I prepared that • military expediffon which was to save. Spain and her Kingtom the fury of a disastrous revolution, that I scarcely suspected that greedy specu lators would soon contest with me the honour of hav ins' served the State—that I should see unjust preju ad-gaining ground against me—that preparations of which all Franca was the witness, should be called in question-Nand that public opinion might at last come to fluctuate between me and a Contractor, whose whole talent consisted in procuring for himself a :offender of Abe treasures and megagines of the State, withoit limit and without guarantee. t have seen the progress of error, and I still doubt whether I ought to give credit to it. Mygoed faith astounded, can the lei' conceive this aberration of certain minds, that an imposing authority had placed the truth in the clearest light. if.. Nevertheless I wished to preserve silence respecting the contracts of Bayonne, as well as the transactions of Victoria and Madrid. Strong in the consciousness of my own mind, and in the teality of my services, I waited with the rest of the public for the decisions of justice, happy in hot being obliged to render more difficult the position of the accused, among whom I found some old companions in arms.- This was not, however, permitted. All attacks have been directed with violence against my administration and my person. All social proprieties have been for gone'', and I need not say why I at last raise my voice, when I know that os all sides parties blame my silence. I enter, then, into the lists, wiih the consciousness of having made to moderation all the sacrifices which it could require, I shall have . satisfied my duty, I shall have repelled the responsibility which at certain times cea tain writings ind•disconnes have invoked upon my head; when I demonstrated that necessity never required Mose iffinsactions in Spain which have become so fatal to the public fortune. I then engage to cast a glance on the senseless imputations which, to answer an in terest easily understood, have been attempted to be sub initiated for the teal charge.

A few days since a number of respectable inhabi tants met for the purpose of considering the practicabi lity of opening a new road from St. Margarets-hill, in the Borough, to the Southwark Bridge-road. A view *as taken of the ground, when it appeared that by taking down one or two houses at the end of Castle stnwt, an opening might be made close upon the Town Hall, and an excellent line of communicatiou be formed to the Southwark Bridge-road. This would, from many 'points, occasion g saving of more than a quarter of a ngie in distinct, and greatly relieve St.Margarees.hill, and some other crowded thoroughfares. This it was -estimated might be done at an expense not exceeding 50001. and the rental in the line of improvement be so creacei by doublethat amount. The plan appeared to he adopted with great spirit, and as it does not appear likely to need,any great advance Of money, it will pro., trebly be carried• into effect. It is intended to take' Ines:urn for bringing a Bill into Parliament on the - - subject next Session. All those who are obliged to pass through some parts of the Borough acknowledge that ..the greatest and most desirable improvement would be to make some of the large furnaces there, which vomit ftirth soot in such abundance on all around, consume their own smoke.

JOHN BULL IN PARIS. The following is an extract of a private letter from an Englishman in Paris, dated July 19 ; 44 Yesterday evening the Parisians were regaled with a rich treat, in the fields lying to the south of the city, by a large party of thorough-bred John Bulls, who had paid us a visit from the Weald of Kent. However laudable the endeavour may be to transplant to the capital of France the rustic amusements of the English, it is, I anticipate, a measure which will never meet with even a tolerable degree of. success. The sports were of a nature never before exhibited in Paris, and entirely new to the eyes of a Frenchman who had not visited England. Jumping in sacks for a fine Holland chem'se was finely contested by half a dozen rosy chi eked wenches, half English and half French. This was not so much a trial of skill as of strength ; for a stout lusty wench, who boasted of being born at Smar den. in Kent, distanced the three French girls, and beat those of her own country by twenty yards. It evidently appeared that it was not thefirst time she had jumped in a sack. The next fete which engaged the atten tion of the wondering Parisians was a gingling match for a new hat and a pair of boots. In this, at in the former instance, the candidates for the prize. (sixteen in number) were of both nations, French and English. As nimbleness and agility were the only accomplishments necessary to insure success, both parties appeared to be equally well matched; for neither is the space of 20 mina es (the time allo*ed to decide the mach) could catch the man with the bell, who was, picked out as one of the most agile Frenchmen of the , day, being, by profession, a mountebank dancer. What , evidently amused the assembled throng more than any of the preceding exhibitions, were six old women drinking scalding hot tea for a new gown, and five Frenchmen, un der 19 years of age, smoking the strongest tobacco for a new pair of shoes and silver watch ; the old ladies scalding their mouths, their shrieks, and the wry faces they made on the occasion—the distorted countenances of the half dead smokers, caused by the operation of the 4 , best Virginia" upon the delicate stomachs of these youthful smokers, were enjoyed as a rich treat by the delighted crowd of Frenchmen, who testified their joy by the most rapturous applause. The evening's entertainment con cluded with four men crawling up a smooth pole, well greased, 20 feet high, for 21r francs, which were in a bag, tied at the top ; and four boys, with their hands tied behind them, and their legs in a sack, dipping their head, into a broad tub of treacle for 12 oranges, with a franc in each. All these amusements terminated without the slightest accident, or disposition to create riot and con. fusion ; and the delighted mob of French and English dispersed, all equally gratified with the amusements which had been afforded them by a party of thorough• bred John Bulls from the Weald of Kent." The widow of the celebrated German tragic poet &MLLES died last week at Bonn. Mr. O'ConNELL, during the Assizes of Limerick, appeared with a broad green ribbon in his bat, th kaf of which was bordered with the same colour. CA IN WOOD.—After the lapse of a quarter of a cen tury, Caen Wood. the seat of the Alawsrtuns, has arisen into life. The pasties, on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays, were, from May to the middle of the present month, distinguished as forming the leading personages in the emit erns. The Diorama, which suffered so much by the late hail storms, has undergone the necessary repairs, and again become the fashionable resort of an admiring public. Monday, a fine child, about three years of age,.the eon of an industrious furrier, named Barrington, residing at the Melon Ground, Peckham, died, in consequence of taking, in ternally, a quantity of oil of vitriol. The father, it appeared, bad placed a bottle, mmtainlag vitriol on the shelf in his workshop. In the course of Monday, as the family were removing, the bottle, containing the stuff, was by some accident or other removed from its situation on the shelf into the kitchen, where the poor child was playing alone, and who, perceiving the bottle, put it to his mouth, and swallo wed a great portion of the burning liquid. The terrible effects of the vitriol were apparent. on the deceased's lips, mouth, and tongue, which were burnt in a frightful manner. Wednesday evening two 'Then went to the house of a poor woman of the name of Jenkins, residing in the Cornwall road, Lambeth, and inquired if she took in washiag, and being answered in the affirmative, one of them walked in, wrote his address, and departed. The poor woman soon after discovered that the man who had been left at the door had decamped with a large basket of linen which was placed ow a chali in the passage, and which contained property to the anoint of about eight or ten pounds. A few days since, as tour youths Were bathing in a pond near TeLburi, one of them who could not swim grt out of his depth, and calling for assistance, two of the party swam to his relief, and in the attempt to save him all three were drowned. An inquisition was taken on Wednesday at the °Mee attached to the powder-mills belonging to Sir C. BATS CURTIS and Co. which are situated at Hounslow Heath, about midway between the town of Hounslow and the village of Twickenham, on the bodies of William Ind. and Benjamin Horsey, who were killed by the sudden explosion of one of the mills, on the morning of Toes day. Verdict " Accidental death.* PROVIDINTIAL DIILIVERT.The ship Emily, of Nantes, having on the 13th July of last year cast anchor at Christmas Harbour, in the Isle of Desolation, per ceived, about six hours afterwards, a boat approaching the vessel, containing six men, who proved to be a party of unfortunate beings come from the Cloudy Islands, a distance of eight miles, where they had been left ten months befote by an English vessel, with only two days' provisions. When they were received on board the Emily, they were covered with the skins of the sea calves, and their faces were browned to such a degree by long exposure to the sun, that it was impossible to discover to what nation they belonged. During their sojourn on those desert and inhospitable rocks they had existed upon penguins and other large birds, which frequent the islands all the year, and bad preserved themselves against the rigours of the : season by burning oil, extracted from the fat of sea elephants, in a cavity of the rock in which they bad taken up their miserable abode, and from whence they were conveyed by the Emily, and landed at the Isle of Bourbon,. What the sufferings of these unfortunate men must have been, the feeling heart alone can form its idea • of.—Fiench Paper. SALE OF ESTAT ES.

Yesterday an elderly man, whose real name is George *der, but who thought proper to give the name of Bartlett when he was ap prehended, and a young man named Ames lkok, who is respect ably connected, were charged with being ucessaries to the robbery of the Birmingham Post Coach, in the night of the 11th of April last, and stealing a parcel containing Bank of England notes, value 5351. the property of Messrs. Baton Watt, and Co. of the Soho, Birmingham. The son of the prisoner George Archer was con victed at the last Old Bailey Sessions, under the name of Edward Archer, of stealing the parcel in question • and Rothven, the offi cer, subsequently discovered that the robbery had been previously planned by the father, who had seduced Foyle, then one of the clerks at the Spread Eagle Coach-office ' Gratechurch-street, to become his coadjutor in the execution of the project. On the night of the 11th of April. the parcel in question was given by Mr. J. B. Larkntan, a clerk to Messrs. Chaplin, of the Spread Eagle, Gracechurch-street, to Evans, the guard of the post coach, to convey to Mr. Robinson, at Messrs. Bolton and Watt's, Soho, Birmingham. The prisoner, Foyle, who was a clerk in the Aire, stood by Larkman when Evans received the parcel. Edward Archer, the son of the old man, took an inside place in the post coach on that night, and he travelled as far as Market -meet, and, having got possession of the parcel, containing five hundred 11. and seven SI. Bank of England Notes, he left the coach, and returned by another coach the same night to London with the stolen pro perty. On the following morning he presented himself at the Bank of England with two hundred of the one pound notes, and received sovereigns in exchange for them . The evidence taken yesterday against the prisoners was as follows : Messrs. Boquett, Hickman, Gunner, and Kingston, clerks in the Bank of England, deposed that on the 12th April last, the prisoner George Archer, alias Bartlett, exchanged three hundred an Bank of England notes, and seven aes Bank of F.agland notes, for sovereigns. He wrote on one of the notes " Tooga." The notes he exchanged were part of the stolen property. Ruthven, the oScer, stated :—I apprehend e d the prisoner Foyle on the Ittlaof July, at Hull. I told him that I knew ell about the robbery, and where he got the 200 sovereigns. I also told him that Archer was inclined to tell all about the affair. I afterwards searched the house of Foyle, which is some distance front London, and found a letter and a card. Ruthven then related several particulars of the robbery, ex tracted, as Foyle's solicitor contended, from the priscicer under a threat and a promise. A letter from Foyle's wife, which the 62c-et got possession of, seemed to leave no doubt of the prisoner's parti eipation in the robbery, she advising him to ten all about it, and a sum of money being found In his possession, which be confessed be longed to Mr. Chaplin. Archer, he said, eontrived the wholeafair. Mr. John Brooke Larkman, the Clerk at the Spread Eagle, said, that the letter and card found ►y Ruthven at the house of Foyle, were in a feigned hand, very much resembling the band-writing of Foyle. _ _ _ Dornington. a fishmonger in the City-road, stated that he knew the prisoner Bartlett to be a Mr. Archer, a butcher, residing in Plummer -street, City-road, and he remembered Archer buying some fish at his shop, one day in April last. Mr. Smith. landlord of the King of Prussia public-house, Holton, said that in April last Archer came to his house with some fish and some beef steaks, which he cooked for dinner, and a stranger came and dined with Archer, but he could not identify Foyle as the person. The prisoners were fully committed to Newgate. Old Archer has been what is termed a "family man" for years, and it appears that most of the coach robberies have Leen committed through the information previously obtained from Coach-office Clerks. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Robert Macdonald and William Head, two servants out of place, were brought from St. Jausts's watch house, for assaulting James Sutler, footman to Captain Garth, at present residing at Limner's Hotel. Butler said he met the prisoners in the Cock public house In Market sheet, St. James's, on Wednesday evening, where he played with dant% at hagatelle, and won a shilling. About twenty minutes after ten hr left the house, followed by the prisoners; and after some dispute about the fairness of the game, they both as saulted him, first one and then the other. He called the watch, and gave them in charge. Mr. nos desired that Smith, the landlord of the public house, might be sent for, to lay an information against him for suffering gambling in his house. In a short time, Smith came. Mr. Rot asked him if he would have the ease bea rd then, or have an information laid against him? Smith those to have the case heard then. He bad been convicted twice within six months for keeping late hours. The prisoners were brought from the bar to give evidence of the gambling. Smith said be did not know that a bagatelle boar& made him liable. Whenever he found any playing for money, be took away the bails. Persons would come in at times and play for liquor. He did not serve them on Wednesday evening, and did not know they were playing. His wife and servant went into the room. Mr. Roe told Smith be was answerable for the acts of his see yams. Hetept the house and had no business to suffer gambling: Hero were two men brought to the olive for rioting in the street, through Ms permitting gambling, and another hindered of going on his master's business. He weld not plead as an excuse that he did pot Law they We& -servants. Captain Garth's footman had livery bottles"; tlierefote be could not be mistaken. Smith was fined N. Mr. Roe offered to Butler for the other two to go out with him and make ep their business. This the footman refused, and Mr. I Roe discharged them altogether. ROSSI= MT • Siloam—Yesterday two men, mimed 4.1161116 and the former a porter to Messrs. Hilton, wine-merckasts, the other charged as an accomplice, were brought to the dice for thirty-two wine bottles and a hamper. Francis Hill, the cellarman to Messrs. Hilton, stated that he had been ill for the last few days, and was excused by his employers from attending the warehouse ; that his wife is a brace maker, I working for a shop in the neighbourhood. Oa Tuesday evening, his wife having some domestic concerns to attend to. asked him to take her work borne for her, and in passing his master's house he saw a hamper given out by Sl:reen, the porter, to a man who walked away with it. Having a suspicion that all was not correct, ha watched the next evening, and at half-past six o'clock saw Carty go into the warehouse, and in a short time a ft er Spruen came to the door and looked ab out him; after which Carty came out with a hamper on his shoulder, and went to a dealer in marine stores in 1 King-street, where he put down the hamper, and knocked at the door. Witness went up to him, asked him What be had in the bake, and gave him into custody. Mr. Hilton said Spruen was their porter, and in consequence of the illness of Hill, the cars of the warehouse had been entrusted to Muse As no see lived in the house, the keys of the omer door were left with Moo ha make the place properly fast. Spruen was not authorized to•dhpose of any of the stock. Witness bad looked at the bottle store that morning, and could safely swear the bottles belonged to Lim. Of the hamper he could not speak so positively, bet bad no doubt that was his property also. As to the (Aber pd. ° cotter (Carty), be knew nothing of him; be was not employed on the premises, and had no authority tn remove any bottles.

UNION-HALL Mr. POOLt AND Mr. Et LlSTON....r.Yelterrdlly Mr. Baum attended at this office, having just arrived from the country, in perish:Moe of the notice left at his house by Glannon, the officer, to answer, an alleged assault committed on the person of Mr. Poole, on the, night of Friday last, in Vauxhall-gardens. Mr. Poole, it appeored,.had been engaged the whole of the morning at the Sessions Honse,pre. (erring his bill of indictment before the Grand Jury against OR de. fendant. When, however, he heard that Mr. billings* vf4s in at tendance at this office, he repaired thither immedimely, wfacie it was decided by the Magistrate (hi. Swaxirr, Esq.) that the com plaint should be heard, notwithstanding the proceedings that had been instituted elsewhere. The parties then took their stations in the place allotted for cm. plainants and defendants. Mr. Milton commenced an apology to the Magistrate, accounting for his unavoidable absence from town when the warrant was granted against him on the complaint of Mr. Poole, in the course of which he stated that several absurd para graphs had appeared in the newspapers of what bad occurred a few nights ago at Vauxhall-gardens, all of which were e x aggera t e d, an d he could only account for thi s circumstance hy tilt knowledge he had of the very considerable initial:lM Mr. Poole possessed over the press. Mr. Poole smiled at the latter part of the observation used bo Mr. Elliston, and said that he was not at all aware of his haw* such mighty influence with the press as bad been On ineinnated. Whether it was the case or not, be could most positively and -con scientiously declare, that he bad not written any paragraph! the subject at present under investigation himself, mid he also any knowledge of the person by whom they were written, or the manner in which they obtained insertion. The Maottraaira observed, that he had nothing whatever to do with what had appeared in the newspapers on the subject. His duty was to bear the circumstances of the alleged assault, and to bold the defendant to bail if necessary. Mr. Poole then proceeded to detail all the facts of the assault committed upon hien by the defendant, as they have already ap. peered. Mr. Swaarr—You will make oath, Mr. Poole, that Mr. Elliot* attacked you in the first instance? Mr. Poole—Certainly he did. Mr. SWASEY—And that previous to the assault no ill languid, was resorted to on your part to excite Mr. Elliston to commit a breach of the peace. Mr. Poole—None whatever. I am not conscious of having given him the slightest provocation. So far from that bring the case, was not aware of big being IS the Gardens, or Inde.ti in London, until he darted upon me on the night in question, and cniaimitted the unfair assault upon me. The Matitreavra, addressing Mr. Elliston, said, that if he had anything to offer in justification of the complaint just rivie against him he should be happy to hear it. Perhaps it would be the better way to refrain from entering into any defence in the present stag of the business, and merely put in bail to answer the charge at the Sessions. Mr. Elliston thanked the Magistrate for his suggestion, and said that he should wish to reserve his defence until the ease came berme a Jury. He now availed himself, however, of alluding to a vague report which had been circulated of his having embarked for Ame rica, immediately subsequent to the occurrence in Vauxhall-garden.. " That is not the case, " added he, " for I am now i n a t ten d ance a i this office in prepridprsonif." He certainly intended to leave Eng land for Lisbon for the benefit of his health, and with respect te his voyage to America, that would be undertakes at a future period, for the purpose of relieving the embarrassments into which he bad recently fallen. Nothing, however, should indoce'hiso to quit this country until the charge exhibited against him was investigated, as he considered that he had received provocation of dig most gross nature from Mr. Poole. The Magistrate asked Mr. Elliston whether he was prepared with bail. Mr. Itilliston replied that he had come away from home in such a hurry that he had totally forgotten to provide himself with what was now required. Mr. &WAIST then asked Mr. Poole whether he had any objection that the defendant should give his own security for his appearance at the Sessions, as he had no friends present to become his bail. Mr. Poole expressed himself perfectly satisfied with any sugges tion of the Magistrate. At this period of the business, Mr. Ware, a solicitor, residing in the &rough, entered the offic e , and immediately proffered his ser vices to become bail for Mr. Elliston, remarking, that he had no personal acquaintance with that Gentleman, bat that he should feel happy in renderin& him a service, in consequence of his distinguished talent, and the amusement and gratification he had derived in wit nessing his performances. _ _ Mr: Ellbiton made a moot profound bow to the Gentleman who had pronounced so high an encomium on his theatrical talents, and thanked him for his politeness in offering to become his bail. Mr. Poole here expressed a hope that the defendant would not traverse the case until the next Sessions. Mr. Staples, the Chief Clerk, intimated that the case, in all pro bability, would be traversed, as it was necessary a certain number of days should elapse from the committal of the assault until the en suing Sesduns. In the present instance only a few days bad trans pired frum the complaint against Mr. Elliman being made and the commencement of the Sessions. Mr. Eiliston said that be should rather prefer removing the case into a superior Court at once. Ibe blagistrate then bound over Mr. Ware in the sum of WI. and Mr. Elliston in his own recognizance, in the sum of 401. for his appearance at the Sessions. The I ace and hosiery trade at Nottingham are reviving. Professor BUCKLAND has ascertained that hedgehogs prey upon snakes. Saturday a number of distressed . stocking weavers, from Leice,ter, passed through the diferent streets of Bath, imploring relief. In two places in Sweden, fires occasioned by the un exampled drought of the season have destroyed forests to the extent of nine miles. The workmen of several trades in Dublin have turned out for payment of their wages in English money ; that is, they require that the man who receives twenty shil lings Irish per week, shall now receive SM. English. The very particular account which has lately been published of the loss of the Maria, of Liverpool, from Buenos-Ayres to London, off the Isle of Wight, on the 18th ult. is a fabrication.
