LEGAL PuN.—A certain gentleman of the long robe, remarkable for his colossal height,and still more so for the emptiness of his upper story, has been christened by the profession " The hng ismation."

Since the news of the approaching marriage of the Princess of Leuchtenberg, daughter of the Prince Eugene (Beau harnois), has become public in our city, the Princess has become an object of general attention. People resort to every place where they think they may have an oppor tunity of seeing tier. Prince Eugene has left so many pleasing recollections in Bavaria, and his family is so much beloved, that this anxiety is quite natural. The Princess Amelia, the future Empress of Brazil, has attained her 17th year. Her beauty, her modest grace, the strength of her understanding, and the care which the Princess, her mother, has bestowed upon her education• make her at present one of the most accomplished Prin cesses of Germany. The good people of Bavaria view with pain her intended departure for regions so distant ; however, a just feeling of pride is mingled with regrets. They tat;,, pride in the fact that Bavaria has furnished so many thrones with beautiful and virtuous princesses. Al ready Italy, Austria, Saxony, Prussia, and Sweden, have paid their tribute. It is now the turn of the New World. It seems certain that the marriage will take place on the 2d of August—that is, it is said Prince Charles, the brother of the King, will espouse her by procuration. The Queen Dowager, who is still at Bruchsal, will return about that time.with the Princess Maria, to assist at the nuptials of heraugust grandchild. We are assured that it is the Empress of Austria, the aunt of the Princess, who has made this match. Persons in the confidence of the Princess-Mother, the widow of Prince Eugene, speak of having seen a letter from the Empress of Austria, in which she expresses to the young Princess her great satisfaction which this event has given to his Majesty the Emperor, who sees with the most lively satisfaction that his grandchildren are likely to have a . second mother in the person of his beloved niece. COLLEC7'iIiVEA. MUCH CRY AN D LIT TLE WOOL.—The Quotideenne says that the number of speeches delivered in the French Chamber of Deputies on the Budget was six hundred and eighty-three. TIGHT LAC I NG.—An American paper states that a female lately died at Baltimore of rupture of a blood vessel near the heart, caused by tight lacing. On an examination of the body the liver wu found forced from its natural seat. Extract of a letter from Loudon, dated Sunday evening, half-past seven o'clock :—" It is quite true that the Duke of Wel lington desires to alter the tithe system; but I can state upon un doubted authority, that one of the conditions of the F.ldon party, in the event of their joining him, would be a perfect abstinence from ..11 interference with the rights and privileges of the Estab lished Church. I have this from a source upon which I can rely." Dublin Evening Pest. TILE SPIRIT OF CONTRADICTION.-0110 of the oldest woods in England is the New Forest ; the oldest canal near London is the New River ; and the New Road was made before the recollection of the oldest inhabitants of the metropolis. The character of most of the European nations may be discovered from their popular works of fiction. " Gil Blas," the production of a Frenchman, consists of the adventures of a swindler. " The Decameron" of Boccaccio, an Italian, is a col lection of tales of intrigue. The" Don Quixote" of the Spaniards has for its hero a madman of chivalrous notions, for which he is continually punished by his countrymen ; while the English "Robin son Crusoe" exhibits a man who, by resolution and piety, rescues himself from the most imminent dangers and trying situations to a state of comfort. THE MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY.—We bear that the splendid edifice in Mosley -street, originally destined for a Royal Institution for the exhibition of paintings and sculpture, and nearly completed, is intended to be converted into an University. The plan developer a general system of education, which cannot fail to be of great utility and importance to the public, especially to the merchant and the manufacturer. TII E OSAGES.—These unfortunate Indians, those at least who have come back to France, after being abandoned at Geneva by Colonel Delaunay, who had the charge of them, are going to return to their own country. There are three men, one woman, and a child born at Liege a few months after their arrival in Europe. Another child, born of the same mother, has been adopted by a rich lady of the Netherlands, and will remain there. It is by means of a subscription raised by the efforts of the Ame rican Consul at Paris, Mr. Barnett, that the expense of the return of these Indians home will be defrayed. Since they left Paris, these unfortunate persons have been in a very dangeroua and uncertain state. The landlord who lodged them during their stay in the French capital, and who was not quite reimbursed, followed them on their journey, and from town to town, took from them all the money they received. Afterwards this man, who ought to have paid him self and more, and who had kept in his possession the goods be longing to them, made a failure, and the moveables of these un happy Indians are still kept from them. A JESUITICAL PICTURE.—Among the numerous pictures of the order which ornament the Church of the Convent of Female Jesuits, established for some years at Pannier. under the ascetic name of the Nuns of Our Lady, there is a master piece in the middle of the sanctuary, and occupying the very place re served for the image of the Caravels; and this painting displays to public veneration Ignatius de Loyola, standing in sacerdotal habits, of his natural size, trampling under his feet a royal crown and SOW branches of the lily, and holding in his hands a large book open, on which may be read on one side, " Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam," and on the other, " Regnum Societe Jes." In front of the Knight of the Virgin, and en a lower place, there is seen on his knees, Francis Begin or Xavier, in a stole, holding on his breast a long crucifix, and putting one between the leaves of a book which contains the constitution of the Society. Behind him are two Jesuits, in the dress of their Order, joining their hands over the Code of Loyola. To the right and behind Ignatius are two Jesuits with tonsures, one of them being prostrate with his arms crossed over his breast, and the other standing, holding with his left hand over his right arm, a death's head covered with a royal crown. The top of the picture represents a glory surrounded with angels and cherubim containing the Virgin and her Son, sitting on a cloud. What a picture is this to be exhibited under laws which persecute the Jesuits.—Gasztle des Cents. SIIOCK ING ACCIDENT.—As Mr. Lowden, of Forest sate, near Stratford, and a friend, were driving down the Rumford road on Thursday evening, their gig accidentally came in contact with a cart belonging to a pig -dealer, by which Mr. L. and his companion were both thrown out; the former was killed on the spot, and the latter lies with but little hopes of recovery. Yesterday a person named Gifford, was arrested in the Consols Office of the Rank of England, on the charge of for gery. He applied to transfer 5001. stock. Mr. Burgess, the Broker, accordingly transferred the Stock, but in consequence of a previous forgery, the gentleman desired a reference, and he ac cordingly referred hint to Messrs. Linter, Brokers. Mr. L. upon seeing him, recognised him as the perion who had committed the previous forgery. He was consequently taken into custody, and eramined before the Directors, who ordered him to be conveyed to the Compeer. We regret to state that an accident, which might have been attended with fatal consequences. betel Mr. Mathews, or Monday night. just at the conclusion of the Spring scene; as he was in the act of making his bow to the audience, the drop scene, by some mischance, gave way, and descending with considerable force, struck him on the head—he remained insensible for upwards of an hour, during which every exertion was made for his recovery by Dr. 111agrath and Mr. Fonescue, sen. with ultimate success. — We are happy to add that be had surmounted the effects of this ac cident sufficiently to perform with his usual success on the following evening.—/Iyissinte Paper. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, JULY 21.—At this morning's market there was a fair attendance of town and country dealers ; but the weather having been more favourable for the last two or three days, only a moderate business was done. The finer descriptions of both wheat and oats sold at last week's prices : one or two parcels of fine foreign weight brought 10s. per 70Ibs.

Trude continues extremely dull in the city. Some large !mobile sales of cotton have been entered upon this morning at the Bast India House, . nd other places, but the article has gone off lan. guidly, and at lower prices. In the whole the quantity brought forward in this way was about 11,000 bales, of which less than 4,000 was disposed of. The sales by private contract this week have been or trifling amount. ST ATE OF Tit A D E.—We have latterly refrained from publishing any statement respecting trade, in the vain hope that we should speedily be enabled to convey the gratifying intelli gence that, throughout this district, some improvement had taken place. Such, however, we lament to say, is not the fact. On the contrary, a regard to truth compels us to say. that at Brad ford, Halifax. Dewsbury, Mirfield, Stc. it is even worse than it was a few weeks ago. Among the fancy-weavers in the neigh bourhood of Huddersfield, a trifling amendment is perceptible, but this exception is the only solitary gleam that enlightens the thick "cloud " which hangs over the commercial operations of the West Riding. At Bradford, in particular, for the last two market-days, the complaints have been deep and general, and the prices low. Nor is the depression confined to the manufacturing part of Yorkshire. We learn that the trade of Liverpool is far from being in a satisfactory condition. American produce of all kinds continues to be depressed, and the losses suffered in conse quence of its deprecation, must be felt severely on both aides of the Atlantic. The accounts from Manchester are also unfavourable, the sales during the last week being more confined than usual, and several failures having taken place, among which is mentioned that of Mr. S. R. Brooks, the Deputy American Consul, for the sum of BO or 100,0001. —Leeds bakiiigencer. WORCESTER, JULY 22.—Though the fine weather le certainly favourable to the hop plants, they had been previously so much injured, that it seems scarcely possible they can do much ; there are many fresh shoots, but the blight appeirsto follow them. In our market, on Saturday. business was very fiat, and prices sta tionary; 93 pockets were weighed. By letters from London, this aturning,,we learn, that the duty is got up a little, being quoted at 34,0004 Some persons have laid the Worcester duty so low as. 2,0004: - In 1525, when the kingdom did not pay 25,0001.

At the last fair of RatlidJu . ny, the Cummins and Dharrig faction; bad anothertloody conflict, when one man was killed by a .gun-shot, EA/others were severely wounded. The house and iurnloire of Lineman. a publican, suffered a complete wreck, because he wasTiipposed friendly to the Dbarrigs. An iii fant child of Loughnan was kiUed in Its cradle by a stone flung through the windows. The Dingle Postman was attacked and robbed of the Mailbags Nlonslav night while travelling from T►alee to Dingle. Two men named Crawly and Ilouleban are committed to Tralee gaol, changed with the crime ; also the Postman. The bags were recovered by the police, but the fastening was forced. It is said the contents were not disturbed. Noonday Monday a police party were escorting font Ballylanders three prisoners to the Bridewell of Knout, under a committal of William Massy, Esq. when a ferocious mob of SOO persons pursued, and attacked them with spades, slams, and stones. The police retreated into a house fur defence. and were obliged to tire on the assailants In self-preservation ; notwitintattO - big, the small party would have been mauacred inevitably but tor the quick arrival of the Cannily police detachment, who save.l their comrades. in the course of the night a party of the C.;th Regiment Irons Mitcitelstown scoured the country, and took up a wounded man near the field of action. Ott Wednesday the Earl of Kingston presided at Alitchelstown Petty Sessions, when now-- citation , were sworn against several of those concerted in the attack, including Daniel Beckham. a principal, with his wife, who ate fully identified. Letters from Borrisokane assure us that no Protestant can walk the streets of that town In safety after sun-set, such is the state of popular feeling, although ISO men of the S3d Regiment are stationed there. The Protestant inhabitants, of course, entertain the greatest apprehensions of mischief, in cisc of an attack. The house of a sister of blr. John Ledger, in rite neighbourhood of Borrisokane, was attacked on Sunday night, and the slating and timber of the roof torn away. For safety the family had the good fortune to leave for Dublin a few days before. Sante night, a small house of a friend of Ledger's, near Ardcrony, was burned. The state of party feeling and religious animosity is most deplorable. A man of the name of Bryan, an inhabitant sat Borri sokane, was found murdered on the road on Saturday morning last; as yet no clue has been found to lead to a knowledge of the murderers. Bryan was intimate with some of the persons in gaol fur the late murders in that town, and in the habit of supplting them with whiskey.—Limerick THE• LAST WILL OF ICAPOLEU.V. ....- It appears from the Courtier des Tribuurrux , that - veral parties claiming different sums under the will of Napalrou have instituted processes in the French courts, fur the recovery or their respective legacies ; but these have been met, from time to time, by legal and technical objections, which, though they do nut dens the right of the testator to bequeath, or of the legatees to claiso. resist them on the ground that they have not been made in the pro per form. Amongst other claimants tinder the will was Madame Dugumier, a widow. who claimed in right of her deceased hus band, as the representative of his father, General Dueumier, whom Napoleon bequeathed 100,000 francs. She presented a copy of the will proved in England, but, without touching the merits of the claim, it was rejected for want of the forms prescribed by the laws of France. (It should be observed here, that Messrs. Laßue, who are the depositaries of 5,000,000 of francs left by the ex-Em peror in 1815, and the executors, Bertrand and Muntholou, offer no objection, but are ready to pay when authorized by the proper legal forms ; and that also the late King. Louis XVIII. renounced any claim which he might have as a Sovereign to the personal ef fects of Napoleon). Under these circumstances, Madame Dugu mier endeavoured to serve a process on the young Duke Jr Reich• stadt, Napoleon's son, in the persons of his n aural guardians—his mother, the Duchess of Parma, and his grandfather, the Emperor of Austria but this was not permitted, as neither were suhj •cts of France, nor within the jurisdiction of the French courts. She at length sought for the appointment of a trustee to the property. whom she might legally sue. This was refused by the Court of Premier Instance, but the judgment of that Court has been re cently set aside by the Cour Royale, which has directed the trustee to administer to the vacant succession, as to the personal property. according to the forms of Law which would be allowed in any or dinary ease. This decision is most important to many of the legatees of Napoleon, who have for many years met the greatest obstacles in their endeavours to obtain those bequests to which they are entitled under his will.—Tines, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

First Innings llB Fir►t Innings Second do. 1491 - This match was witnessed by Mossy fashionable', and the crle brated Lambert, of Brumley, one of the first crickriers is the empire, was umpire, and evinced much condescension in pat! mann+ the juninr professors of a sport in which be has dimwit won so many laurels. Yesterday ntorning the tan men, Knight and Budd. irnlflicated in the robbery committed in the house of .lr. Bramah. on 'footing-common, were txamitied at Tooting, before S. Flyard and Weston, Esqrs.

These identical onusers were found in the Green-lane coutiguout, to Mr. Bramab's house, where, it will be recollected, the 'hirers changed their dress after the robbery.

It appeared that an entrance was effected into the house by means of raiiing a ladder against the rear of It, and lifting up the sash of the staircase window. The prisoner Budd was es trisniely anxious to turn approver ; but as the evidence was cont.i.lered sullidestly strong without rendering such a step necessary, the prisoners were both committed for trial. The intention of the prisoners was to have gone to America. and for this purpose they proceeded to Gravesendoind would have waited there until they got on board an outward-bound vessel... ! i it' I .~ 4~ ~~ 1 , re. euglr Mast g her ads of if the sland Were t any arti- eiellt nd it in of ne of er to king pre ew it uinst ItIAS ed to It an your ? re- B.
