Notwithstanding the repotted differences in the Cabi net, the filling up of vacancies in the several depart ments of the Government continues without intetrup. lion. It is confidently stated that a successor to Lord Merman, in the high office of Lord Chancellor of Ireland, has been appointed in the person of Lord Chief Baron ALEXANDER. It is also affirmed, though not with the same degree of confidence, that the vacancy thus occasioned in the Court of Exchequer, is to be filled up by the appointment of the present Solicitor-Gen. (TINDAL) as L 'rd Chief Baron. As a disjointed Cabinet would scarcely undertake to make appointments of such im portance, and as the persons designated to fill them would not accept them, if offered by a ricketty and disunited administration, we may fairly conclude that there is not a shadow of truth in the rumoured differences, by which the public have been annoyed for some days past.— Coupled with the nominations we have mentioned, there has been a removal, which stamps upon our opinion a kind of moral certainty, and is so expressive as to the solidity of the present Cabinet, and particularly as to the sentiments of the Etna with respect to the line of policy to be followed at this important juncture, that we are surprised it has not attracted more attention: We allude to the notice in Tuesday night's Gazette, an nouncing the appointment of Lord Fires in the room of the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, as one of the Lords of his MAJESTY'S Bedchamber. This notice absolutely puts an extinguisher on the rumours in question, as it is altogether improbable, if there was the slightest degree of truth in the latter, that the other would be published. The KING, it is agreed by all, has nobly done his duty in the late difficult and painful circum stances of the country, and may be truly said to have anticipated, rather than followed the wishes of pis people, and the wants of the civilized world, of which this country is Dow the last stay. His MAJESTY has also acquired an unexampled degree of popularity; and those who know him best fear the least with respect to our future course of policy. We have private advice' this morning from Madrid to the 18th instant. They observe an extreme circum spection, as may be easily imagined, on the alarming state of the country generally, and on the still more alarming state of her political relations with Por tugal. At these two portentous subjects they merely glance in an oblique way, but still contrive to let us know, that the difficulties of the one, and the sinister appearances of the:other, have not been hitherto exaggerated. They mention one piece of news, which will excite some surprise—namely, that a large sum of money, destined for the purpose of raising the standard of insurrection in Gallicia, had been seized on the way li by a party of the KING'S troops. It will be naturally asked, by whom was this money advanced ? and, we confess, the question baffles our means of solu tion. It is altogether improbable that any foreign Government has contributed it; fir though the pre sent troubles may afford a pretext for foreign in terference, yet the principle is so iniquitous, and the actical applic 'lien of it so dangerous, that we renounce the notion at once. It is scarcely credible too, that the priesthood would open their coffers for such a purpose; and we therefore suspect, that there is more truth in the report, that am is a powerful faction which wishes to raise DoN Catar.os to the throne, than is gene rally imagined. Whether that Prirce is privy to the design, we csomot say ; but that it has numerous active and powerful abettors, e•nnot be denied. We believe at the same time that it has no ramifications abroad, but that the plot is •Ulusively Spani.h, it is clearly of Apostolical manufacture; and, should it succeed, the remits would be, in the first place, frightful to humanity, but in the end serviceable, as all excess of evil in the political world leads to a radical remedy. These advice: revive the silly, aad, as we thought, exploded rumour, that the Spanish Government is again intent on preparations for the reconquest of Mexico, and that the troops assembled at S.ville, as well as the armament that has been sent to the Canaries, are des tined for this purpose. The subject is so ridiculous, that it requires only to be mentioned to provoke laughter. The troops, collecting in Andalusia, if the state of that citleeince does net require their presence, are intended Int. a tiny different service; and, if we are not miata4u,Portugal, and not South America, is their eestinatias. However their entrance into that King dom depends upon contingencies, which we trust will never happen; for as long as England is governed by liberal and enlightened councils, no Spanish soldier will venture, in a hostile manner, to pass the )Portuguese frontiers. The following is an extract of a letter : " PRIPIONAN, Auo. 20.—The bands in Catalonia are multiplying. The diligence coming from Barcelona has been stopped to-day at Cumuli ?

This day the LORD CHANCELLOR, Mr. HUSEISION, and Mr. Sruaeu BOUM, bad an interview with Lord Gonaarcss, at his Lordship's house in DJwning-street. A Messenger arrived from Rio yesterday morning, on his way to Vienna. He is, it is understood, the bearer of a dispatch from the Emperor PEDRO to his brother Don Munn, appointing him Regent of Pur i tugal. We have received New Brunswick Papers to the 17th of July. On the Sd his Excellency returned to Fre derickston from his visit to the Grand Lake, where he had been foorteen days. He was highly pleased with the new settlements, and the specimens of coals. Mr.Huactssom returned to town shortly before eight o'clock yesterday, from attending the lEnto, at the Royal Lodge in Windsor Park, and had a conference with Viscount Grogram Viscount DUDLXT and WA RD arrived in town yester day from his residence at Roehantpten. The Marquis de Prarane.a, the Portuguese Ambassador, and the Count de VILLA Ram., the new Portuguese Minister, had a conference with his Lordship at the Foreign-office.

Mr. Hanauer came to mown yesterday morning, and hod an interview wids Ms Lordship, at Ms residence in Downing-street.- Mr. PLANTA, the Secretary to the Treasury, arrived in town yesterday afternoon from his seat In Sums. Mr. Ptaxra immediately proceeded to tie residence of Viscount Gomm,. Yesterday was the day appointed by the Directors of the East India Company to give the customary splendid entertain ment to Lord Writtam Buoyant, the newly appointed Governor of India,previess to his Lordship's departure from this country to the seat of ►is Indian Government. In consequence, however, of the destli of Mr. Catania, the original intention has been aban doned, and the Intended entertainment postponed. The Prince tartan had a Dinner Party yesterday, at Asievrakain Home. Wednesday se'nnigbt, the Earl of SHANNON and' family left Casßemartyr, for ids Lordship's seat in Norfolk. Extract of a letter from Calais s —go The j ourney of his Majesty Cassias is definitively anaemic:4 and formally en. weed on the records of the Prefecture el the Department of Calais, as follows The King will leave St. Cloud on the 3d of Septern. ber ; and after visiting several towns. his Majesty will quit Lisle on the 9th of September, and will arrive the same day at St. Omer, where be will remain until the 13th inclusive, [this interval will be occupied in inspecting, reviewlag, and mencauvriog the large body of troops encamped there), and depart en the 16th for Arraa, and passing We Aire and Bethune, will arrive at Arras on the 17th, and depart on the 13th for Amiens. It is possible that In returning from Lisle or Dunkirk, his Majesty will pass by Calais; but this is uncertain.' " Sir Ga=oft M.GazGoa still remains in custody, no heat sureties having been offered.

About three months ago, when the unfortunate O'Bitime. convicted of an assault on Dr. CoLLINs, at the Cork Assizes, was in a state of utter destitution in London, be addressed a letter to the lamented Mr. CANNING, stating the circumstances of his life, and ap pealing to that benevolence which never slumbered. The answer to this application was a note from Mr. CANNING'S private Secretary, inclosing .51. and an order on a commercial house in Dublin for '2W. more. With the assissance of this supply, O'BRIEN found his way to his native country. If the good war ks of Wickham, Bishop of Winchester, were enumerated, they would fill a large volume. He built many churches, chapels, hospitals, and other reli gious houses; he mended all the highways from Win chester to London,on both sides of the river; but, above all other works, he built and endowed two excellent colleges, the one called New College, in Oxon; the other at Winchester, with a grammar school. The removal of Carlton House is now almost accom plished. The centre of that ionise celebrated building only remains. We never considered it famous for archi tectural beauty, but it was the scene of famous Princely hospitality. The grand Conservatoty received the powerful Potentates of Europe and the Emperor of Runt*. All the magnificence of the - Court of Great Britain was displayed on that spot, which in a few days will no longer pos.ess •ne mark of former grandeur.— The Palaces of Kings in London have never been of long duration. - The following are the fees payable for burial at West minster Abbey :—ln the Abbey, 541. 18s.; in the clois ters, 191.6 x. If a grave-stone 1e erected, them are AdditionAl fees, viz. 7 guineas in the Abbey, and 4 guineas in the cloisters: and for the burial of Peers, both in the Abbey and cloisters, the fees are much larger than the above, amounting to something between 1201. and 1501. There is, we believe, a penalty of 50s. fur burying in linen. The Commissioners fir raving the PAti,h of St. James have turned their attention to the bad state of the pavement in Piccadilly. The space between the Regent's Circus and Air-street is now paving with new stone laid in lime and wit!, upon the plan Adopted in Fleet-sweet. By the recent repoit of the Prison Discipline Society, it appears that 230 prisoners committed last year to the Devizes House of Correction, 101, or nearly half was for poaching; and that 401 committed in the neigh bouring county of Wilts 102 were for offences against. the Game Laws.

A Petty Session was held yetterdsy morning at the Vestry-room of the Parish of St. Martin•in-the-Fieds, ' for the purpose of hearing Appeals against the Paving and other Rates. The Magistrates present were Mr. BECKETT and Mr. ANNAND, The only case of importance was that of Mr. Fenn, of Charing-cross, who was lately defendant in an action brought against him by the Vicar and Churchwardens of that parish in support of the authority of a Select Vestry. The case was tried in May 14 t by a Special Jury, before Lord Tenterden, and a verdict gained by the plaintiffs. A rule has since been granted by the Court of King's Bench, calling oa the plaintiffs to chew cause why a new trial should not take place, or a con sultation, to determine whether the verdict be sufficiently explicit to warrant a judgment upon it? The issue or question for the Jury to decide was, whether the custom of a Select Vestry had existed in the parish of St. Martin-tn-ther-Fields from time imme morial ? For the defence, a great variety of documentary evidence was produced, by which the Special Jury fon d that the custom of a Select Vestry had existed from time immemorial. The question, both in point of law and fact, is, however, still before the Court of King', Bench; and, under these circumstances, Mr. Fenn ap pealed against the Rates, which he deemed to be levied without proper authority. Being called on to state the reasons on sthichbe grounded his appeal, Mr. Fenn declared that he, as 311 inhabitant householder of that parish, had no know ledge of any man or body of men having the lardel power to tax or rate the parishioners. He tinned, therefore, that the Magistrates, sitting there to do justice between the parties called before them, would, for their own satisfaction, as well as for that of the parish, cam the plaintiffs, whoever they might be, to come forward and prove, by sufficient evidence, that they were legally appointed, and duly qualified to tax or rate the pa. rishioners ; and, in case of objection, entitled lawfully to enforce the payment of the taxes or rates so levied. The Mactteweras stated, that it was no part of their duty to inquire into the authority of the Select VesuT• The rate must be paid. Mr. Fenu then read an extract from one of the Local Acts for the government of the parish, with the view of founding an objection on the irregular mode in which the Commissioners for levying these rates had beet appointed. The Macarritaras stopped the objection irs /incite, on the same ground as before ; and confirmed the rAte generally. Fencing is now being raised round St. Georges Hos. pital, at Hyde Park Corner, preparatory to the alteatioar about to be made in such building. The two east wings of Sunderland Barracks are now nearly pulled down, and although it is above t' hit years since they were erected, the timber (being built of wood) is nearly as fresh as when first put together. Thursday, the foundation stone of a new poor•howe for the township of Bishopwearmoutb, was laid by the Rev. Otolltil STRPHRNSOW. Henrietta Maria, the relict of Charles I. and daugh ter of the illustrious Henry IV.
