Drank with applause. Sir Ivan Ssiviii rose to return thanks. That was the 39th arca. lion, on which, in a similar manner, he had been called upon to '- Muria his grateful obligations to the Linmean Society. Nothing • •liew presented itself to him on which to dwell ; for he was happy ...to find that the progress of the Society continued to be rtfctessful ' ensimaimpeded. He trusted, however, that he might be allowed 11.-revase the health of the Treasurfr, an officer to whom the , &elm was much indebted. The healths or the Treasurer (Mr. Foment') and of M. Riema n, the Secretary of the Linnaan Society were drank, and they thanks. The CMAIAKAIN next proposed the health of " Sir Stamford Raffles, and the eological Society." Sir S. Rarrtes returned thanks. " The Geological Society, and )Ir. Greenough," was the next least. Mr. GRitS64lll returned thanks. Several other 'ointilar toasts were drank, and the company sepa 'rated at an early hour, highly delighted with the entertainment. M. ALEXANDRE. DRURY LANE THEATRE.—The following.. farewell Address was delivered on Tuesday night at Drury Cane, by M. A LEXANDRE, ft the close of his pet formance: Ladies and Gentlemen—For the last time I present myself •before a British audience; but it can only be with the last moments 'of life I can forget the debt of gratitude I owe this country. It is 'netwrsix years since I came amongst you a foreigner, wi b all the 'disadvantages incident to such a position—but you deigned to re• •keive my humble efforts to please —your warm and generous giatronage animated my exertions, and I have t sed the three iiiindoms only to experience, wherever I went, the same fostering kindness which tint greeted me in this Metropolis. In now taking my most respectful, and most heartfelt farewell of you, my earliest friends, I wish to include in my grateful recollections at this moment, those more distant ones whose patronage I have so largely enjoyed. " Ladies and Gentlemen—T pray Goo to bless you all, and bid you a most affectionate farewell !" Mr. Bascules Debtor and Creditor Arrangement 11 , 11 to prevent Transfer Deeds from being deemed acts of Bankruptcy, &c. was thrown . ont by the House of 1.-rds on Tuesday, being postponed for a fortnight. Tuesday evening a daring robbery was committed by two lads, dressed as sailors, who removed a square of glass recently put in the shop front of Mr. Fisher, in, High -street, Borough, near London•bridge, and tookl therefrom a bundle of silk handkerchiefs, value 25i. with which they got clear off.

The venerable Dr. Duntan, of Edinburgh, we observe from a Scottish newspaper, continues his annual custom of climbing to the top of Arthur's Seat on the morning of the Ist of May. It gives an interesting accouat of this pious romance of old age, on the preceding Monday, when the worthy Doctor performed his pilgrimage in his MI year—recited same tines of his own composi- tion to a juvenile auditory, including several of his own grandchildren—and caused them to sing a hymn of thanksgiving to the great CREAtOR, irlio had graciously prolonged leis life and faculties to this uncommon span. SOCIETY von PROMOTION OW UNIVERSAL !I/ACC— Tuesday a Meeting of the Society for the Promotion of Permanent and Universal Peace was held at Albion Hall, London WaII.—JOHN CLARKSON, Esq. having been called to the Chair, the tenth annual Report of the Committee was read. It detailed the advancement which the principle on which the Society was founded had been gradually making during the last twelie months, and the prospect of its further progress. It stated that the number of tracts published in that time was 31,750, forming with those already issued a total cf 355,500 that have been printed since the establish ment of the Society. The funds had also been ins proving, and several Corporative Societies had been instituted. The Report was concluded amid great de mmsstrations of joy from the audience.—Several Reso lutions having been moved and seconded in apeechesof toniiderable ability, were passed unanimously, and the Meeting separated. In accordance with a principle of the Society, nn resolution of thanks was passed to the ('herman or other officers. In Addition to this singu larity, the Peace-promoting Society was distinguished Irom every other description of public meeting, by t'T peculiarity of not making a collection at the con clusion of its sitting. A gouty old Gentleman, hobbling over the long creasing of Waterloo-place, was earnestly importuned by the female sweeper for a few half pence. Finding !.e. petition disregarded, she gave up the pursuit with parting ejaculation—" GOD bless your Honour I I w:sh your heart was as tender as your feet." The :.:eudness of this appeal drew at once a shilling from pocket and a smile from the countenance of the old Gentleman, notwithstanding the pain which Mr. Macadam's pebbles were inflicting upon him. A well-known tergiversator was protetisng the other day that his politics had not changed. " No,' said 04, 4 " they have only been ret-ified.

Gmerxemen—My friend Mr% Bolton has this day delivered to me a requisition, conveying, in terms most tattering to my feelings, the expression of your readiness and desire to use every exertion in supporting my re-election as your Representative in the next House of Commons. I will frankly own to you, that before I received this requisition, my mind bad b een ma d e up to sol i c i t the festival of the high and important trust which the expected dissolution of the present Parliament must, ere long, place at your disposal. Apart from aU motives of botioutable distinction connected with that trust, I could not but feel that the tender, at leant, of my further services, was the only return, however inadequate, which I could make for the decided approbation with which you had so recently marked my past conduct. The number, as well as the repectability, satisfy me that I am not thought undeserving of the continued con fidence of my constituents. I receive, therefore, with all gratitude, the pledge of your united co-operation to secure my return for U. verpool--a pledge which it will be my pride t ogive you an oppor tunity of redeeming at the hustings, whenever the election may take place.

At an early hour yesterday morning, the application of Mr. Brown's newly-invented pneumatic engine for propelling a carriage against the ascent of a sharp ac clivity was successfully tried upon the steepest part of Shooter's hill. The place chosen for this trial was where the ascent gains ISI inches in 12 feet, and where the sandy surface of the new made road, by affording a yielding and clogging bed for coach wheels, presented every obstacle to the success of such an experiment.— Notwithstanding these local disadvantages, Mr. Brown's' engine, which was constructed upon a four wheeled body, steadily conquered the ascent, and established its extraordinry power to move onwards against the impedi ment of a precipitous surface. Its power of motion upon a level plain was never denied, but until this experiment demonstrated the fact, many contended that it could not surmount perpendicular resistance. We could not learn exactly the weight of the machine, but as it ascended the hill 7 persons sat on the shafts, without making by their irrcumbrance any perceptible alteration in its motion. Some sailors, who were accidently passing at the time, surrounded the engine, and expressed their amaiement at its self-impelling power, and being better adepts in the production of fun than of machinery, they placed a young chimney sweeper, who was caught on the spat, upon the board corresponding with the coach-box, and conferred upon the little urchin the honour which, in the dark ages, would have devoted his bones to the flames instead of the chimney, of being the first con ductor of a heavily laden vehicle up Shooter's hill, without the agency of horses. The power which is capable of practical application, by the principle of this engine, appears very considerable, and its steady weetnentem at the very instant of starting ) .spewed the certainty of its action. The steam-engine can (only be applied to aid mechanical power upon a slightly inclined plain, and with the aid of a rail-road ; while this Pneu matic Invention works at once upon such a road as we have described, notwithstanding the roughest impedi ments. There appears oneimportant advantage which the principle of this engine has ever any other that science has hitherto supplied ft r practical purposes of the same nature. The occurrence of accident cannot possibly be attended with danger. The force of a steam engine necessarily depending upon its expansive properties, is capable of producing considerable mischief in the event of any untoward :plosion but the Pneumatic Engine, deriving its power from the atennspheiic air, only ex poses the cylinder, under any circumstances, to the pressure of its action externally. The cylinder, from any weakness of Cie material, or inequality in its cir cumference, might 'have its surface bulged inwards from the external atmospheric pressure, or become squeezed into a shapeless tube, but there cannot be any explosion, or scattering expulsion of its fractured parts. 'The experiment to a mere observer was certainly cessions 'and satisfactory ; and so far as the power of ascent was involved, was clearly demonstrated. It is for scientific persons who have leisure for these pursuits to cultivate and assign the degree of metes of the inventor. NEW LAW COURTS. r► - TO TUE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Ma. Roma—Several of the Public Prints cootinoing to give detached observations respect's., the New Law Courts, I trust you will do me the favour to insert in your columns the following state ment of the circumstances attending the erection of those buildings. I am, Sir, your very obedient servant. Lincoln's Inn Fields, May 20,1826. JOH N SOA NE. In July, 1820, I was directed by the Lords Commis sioners of bit Islajesty's Treasury to prepare plans for New Courts of Law on the site of the old building con nected with Westminster Hall. Ilaving surveyed the premises, and made plans of the Old Courts, and their appurtenances, I consulted the different Officers of the several Courts, to know what improvements or addi tional accommodations they would consider necessary. in the event of the New Courts being erected. Several des*ns were made and submitted to the Lords of the 1 seasury, who, after having attentively examined the same, directed me to 14y them before the Judges of the different • Courts, for their opinion and approbation. The plans were accordingly submitted to tke Judges at different times, and .likewise shewn to some of the Gentlemen of the Bar, upon these occasions, various alterations and improvements were suggested, and their Lordships most strongly recommended that the Courts should not be made too large,—the old Courts being stafficiently capacious. The plans altered agreeably to the suggestions made to me, were then, together ss ids an estimate of the pro bable er a sense attending the execution of the several works, pre.ented to the 14 , )rds Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury, who were plea.ed to approve the same, arid directed me to commence the buildings with out delay, and to have them completed with all possi ble dispatch. The design thus sanctioned contained seven Courts, with retiring-rooms for the Judges, the King's Kemecn brancer, the Sergeants, the Bat t isters, theProthonntaties, and other officers attached to the different Courts, and three rooms, &c. for the accommodation of the Grand Jury. The High Court of Chancery, besides a retiring-room for the Lord Chancellor, and the r •om for his Lordship's attendants, has a room for the Masters in Chancery and the law library. and another for the Ban isters; there is also a large gallery, which when divided agreeably to the original intention, will afford separate accommoda tion for the students, the public, and others connected with the Court. Tie Court of King's Bench, and the Court of Common Pleas have galleries for the same purpose, To each of the Courts there is a separate entrance from West iniaster Hall, and likewise from St. Margaret-street, with other subordinate entrances; and also two general lines of conununica lien parallel with Westminster Hall, one from the entrance ince the Court of King's Bench to the staircase loading to the House of Commons,-.-the other from the retiring room of the Judges of the Court of Kings Bench, also leading to the staircase of the House of Commons t—this latter communication is unavoidably not la a laraight line, but this will net be matter of surprise when it is recol lected that the building contains seven distinct Courts, with all their various and complicated accommodations combined together is a situation trammelled with the buttresses of Westminster Hall, the irregular projections of the old stone buildings, and other din. collies not lees formidable: The buildings were begun in October len, and by great earthen raised to the roof early in 1824. 10 the mouth of March in that year, I heard for the first time that objections had been taken to the new buildings; first, that they ex tended too far into New Palace Yard ; and secondly, that the t exterior was nut in the Gothic style. An inquiry was then insti tuted for the purpose of examining the building, and the works having been surveyed by the gentlemen who caused the inquiry. it was resolved that the exterior of the building should be in the Gothic manner, that the entrance iota the Court of King's Bench from Westminster Hall projected too far into New Palace Yard, that the Courts were too large, the rooms next New Palace Yard unnecessary, and that these rooms and the Court of King's Bench I should be pulled down; and the space added to the area of New Palace Yard ; and I was directed se make designs upon these ideas. Many plans were made exceedingly, and submitted, from time to time, to the same Gentlemen; who, after due deliberation, deter. mined that the reduced space was insufficient, that the buildings next New Palace Yard should be pulled down, and the exterior decorated In the Gothic fashion. Subsequently, different designs were made for gothicising the eater4er of the Court of King's Bench ; and finally, one of them being approved, bas been carried into execution, an estimate of the expense having previously been made amounting to about 90001. During the progress of this inquiry, I stated the fact of the bund ling. not projecting further into New Palace Yard th an t h ose erecte d lin the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and which were recently removed. I also took the liberty of stating, that from all the information It bad collected from these most conversant with the requisites for the Courts, every part of the new 'buildings, proposed to be pulled down as useless , was essentially necessary for the business of the Coates and the public accomutedadon. As the principal reason assigned for destroying these buildings was their not synametrising with the front of Westminster Hall, to remove this objective' I submitt e d t o th e C omm i ttee severa l disigns fur gothicishig the exterior of the Court of King's Bench. very unlike the present front, but, in my judgment, more in charac ter with the front of Westminster` Hall, and at the same time pre. posing the advantage of primeval; the ethele if the room, end ether oceeinnsoilinens, already referred to in this statement. It has been already noticed that the Judges, sad other authorities, ( had been consulted upon the gener a l d es i gn f the Courts, and pre.. Openly to the commencement of the fitting up of the same, plans Were made, dimwits( the manner in which it was proposed to cont. piece each of them; models were also made, and in order that the whole should be completely understood by ose beet able to deter. mine what would be most convenient, the fittings were put up in a temporary manner in each Court, so that a competent judgment might be feinted of what the results would be. These temporary fittings wino inspected by the Mgrs, and by Many Gentlemen of the Bar, as well as by the °Seers of the cations, and the alterations suggested by these authorities, from time to time, were in every respect carried into effect. Begirding the objections made to the situation of the Jury box Is the Court of King's Bench, I beg to observe, that is the original plan for fitting up this Court. as well as in the temporary fittings, the Joey bee was placed ea the right of the Tribunal, but it was afterwards directed to be removed to the opposite side, to enable the King's Counsel, as !understood, to have a separate entrance into the Court. In reply to what has been said respecting the want of space and accommodation in the Court of Mines Beech, I have to observe,. that the area of the new Court of Kin g 's Bench ntains 11111 super coddal feet, with seats re 4 feet in length, for the acoonmandation of the Kings Counsel and the ether Gentlemen of the Bar. The Court in the Sowings House, lately aced as a temporary Court of King's Bench, and which h as been admitted by several Gentlemen of the Bar to be sufficiently large, contains about 1005 1 superficial feet, and about 170 feet of seats fur the King's Counsel and for the Gentlemen of the Bar. Tie Old Court of King's Bench in Westminster Hall contained within the walls about $lO superficial feet, and about 105 feet lineal measure, of seats for the accommodati o n o f th e B ar . llforemight be added, but the leading points having been ex plained, I am unwilling to trespass further on the public than I eon eider to be absolutely necessary for the justificative of my profes sional character. The Lady of Admiral Sir SIDNEY SMITH, Bart. died at Paris, on the evening of the 18th instant. Writs for the election of iL Peer in the room of Lord CARLSSON, deceased, were issued on'ibe 9th Instant. An extraordinary circumstance occurred at Ilfra combe on Wednesday sennight. As some of the men belonging to the Preventive Service were out on a cruise, they saw something floating on the wa.er ; and Oh approaching it they discovered it to be what slilors call a monk, • or devil fish, with a large bird, called a sliag,,pkttif (trifler! dow n ' . thritat. Thiird, it ap peared, !lad fastened hr.& to the . inside of the fish with iia bill.t Ytio sailors let go the bitcli and caught the fish! THE ARMY. • Yesterday morning, Detadlinunts belonging to eke 4th and 11ti Regiments Light Dragoman, and 16th .Laneers. marched from Westminster, for the Cavalry Depot in Maidstone. A general court-martial ii ordered to assemble at Devonport, for the trial of the Paymaster of the 32d Regiment, on' charges to ke preferred against him. The Vittoria transport arrived at Devonport on Wednesday from the River, and on Friday embarked a detachment from the Depot Companies of the 71st Regiment, under the command of Captain HENDERSON, to join the head-quarters of the corps in Canada. The Vittoria will call at Newry, in Ireland, to embark a Detachment of another Regiment for the some destination. Wednesday, the 17th Regiment of Foot, at Edinburgh, sub.. scribed one day's pay for the relief of those suffering from want of employment, on which occasion three cheers were given by tl.e men, to testify their feeling towards the success of ibe subscription.
