THE LATE DUCHESS OF RUTLAND. We have great pleasure in recording a simple but most affecting uibute of veneration and gratitude to the memory o the late excellent Duchess of Rutland. If them was one virtue which existed in greater per fection than another in the chanicter of this distin guished and perfect Lady, it was charity. Her Grace's b:nevolence was unboundei wherever distress was to be found she.extended the comforting hand of charity to reliove it. But in administering that relief so lite rally did she follow the command of her SAVIOUR— " Let not your left hand know what your right hand doeth," that the extent of her bounty was never sus- pected, even by her family ; and, if herlamented death had not -revealed her mover, it would still have been unknown, that in one year, probably of deep distress, this great and gond woman distributed more than bill of her income in works of mercy and charity. To commemorate some of these good works, the following inscription has been placed on a plain marble slab in a viHage church near Belvoir Castle, the poor inhabitants of which had largely partaken of her Grace's bounty, and by handing down her name to posterity as the friend and benefactress of the village poor, it confers more true and lasting honour upon it than the most sumptuous monument can,bestow: Tl4ll Tablet was ereoted by the Curate of this Church, in grateful Remembrance of the Ftiend and Benefactress of the Village Poor, - ELIZ4ORTH DUCHESS OF RUTLiktkID ; who, " in the flower of her Age, and u the mi4t of her Usefulness," was maddenly taken from this world to a better, November 49th, 1625, Aged 45 years. 44 Vibes the ear beard her, then it blessed her: Mika the eye saw her, it gave witness to bet : Because she delivered the poor that gird, sod the fatherless, and &int that had none to help The blessing of him that was ready to perish CAMS upon her, and she caused t h e widow's heart to sing for joy." Bausans, MAY 26.—The storm which passed over this City ou the gist emended its ravages very fat. At Hoar, the lightning au sick a farm house, which it totally consumed, with all tit. fursisyre and stock, including three cows and 130 sheep. Many acres ascending corn were entirely laid waste by the hail. The steeple 91 the therch of St. Martin, at Cologne, was struck with lightnisig en the Yid of May, while the children were assembled to receive relkiatts iostraetioit ; the fire was extinguished, but the cross fell on a neighbouring house, and destroyed it. Doting the last Session 237 private Bills were bt ought into Parliament. and 206 received the Royal Saturday, a Noble Lord, in the neighbourhood of St. James's -street, had five pounds sterling to pay for the postage of letters, in consequence of the privileges of fraelong haring fa the present ceased. The trade of Congleton is improving. A good demand fin cotton continues, and we have cheering accounts from Manchester of improvement. The crop of apples in most of the ciJer counties is said a be the largest which has been known for years. &melancholy instance of the effects of unbridled pas sion and conjugal bickering was instanced at Colebrook Ridgway, on Tuesday evening. A man named Roberts, a miner, disputing with his wife, in a tit of ph:enzy aimed a violent blow at her, which his daughter (aged about 13 years) observing, rushed between her parents. Unhappily, she received the blow from her father, and fell s corpse at his feet. The county of Kent has excerieneed several severe thunder storms; on Sunday last a bird of the gull spe cies arras pieked up, which had been destroyed by light ship. The wings were much scorched. PLURALITY QUESI'I'IN IN SCOTLAND. —The Members who voted in favour of an union of offices in the General Assembly, now dissolved, were in all 159, viz. 88 Mi nisters returned from presbyteries, and 71 Elders re 'turned from presbyteries and burghs; the anti-pluralists were in all 105, viz. 61 Ministers, and 44 Elders.

A great sensation has been produced in Antigua by the Collector of GUAM§ having seized all slaves who Lye b:en in England since the year 1847, according to report, at the empress desire of the English Government, on the ground that they were entitled to their freedom. The Magistracy of Antigua issued a warrant against the Col.ector. Refusing to give bail, he was iinfattoned. GLasolow, Mu:SO.—Yesterday, a number of Is. bourers commenced oper*.ions in order to construct a carriage road round the Green. This will be a work which, when finished, will prove equally useful and ornamental to this City. ft was our Whitsun-Monday market, and the chew of horses was very numerous. and many of them of the best kinds, for saddle, carriage or draught. The sales were few, none before three o'clock, and what sold were at /educed prices. Ma selleri, in general, were, however, rather stiff at former prices.

SPNGULAR CoINCIDLPICE. —Monday, the anniversary of the Restoration of Citauss 11. as the workmen were tales down an old building at Alllngton ' near Grantham, belonging to Mr. Heassau, a linen bag was discovered armee the rubbish, which, on examination, was found to contain a tart, quantity of ancient silver coins, chiefly crowns and half-crowns of the above Monarch, of eariousdates, from 116 i to 1671, in high owd beau tiful preservation; with a great many others of the reign of Cna RIM 1. partly coined at Oxford in the time of the rebellion, also in excellent preservation. The dispute still condones between the great mem. hers of the Germanic Confederation and the Government of Hol land, respecting the navigationof the Rhine. The Minister. of the Nethtrlands mg* a distinction between the freedom of navigation in the curse of Our and at ileseseast4.

Almeria has declared for an entire freedom of naviptlin on tie rivers that pus through' Germany and Holland.

LOSS OF THE SHIPLEY TRANSPORT. lIIIRTHER PARTICULA ns. Wedssesday morning, the 19th of April, about half past four o'clock, A.M. was wrecked near Kitt idge-head, east end of Barbadoes, on the rocks, about n quartet of a mile off, the transport, No. 16, Shipley, 330 tons, 83 men and boys, James Abbot, master, having on board ' eight officers, ninety men, seven women, and eight chil. dren, sixty of them Royal Sappers and Miners, and the test detachments of the 35th, 60th, and 92d Regiments; lives saved, but nearly the whole of their baggage lost, as the vessel broke completely up in the course of an hour after. and drifted p'ecemeal in every direction.— About ISO tons of Government stores were also lost. This ship made the land at l 0 the evening preceding the unfortunate catastrophe, and hauled up to S.S.E. but the master ordeted the vessel to be stood for the land soon after 12, A. 1. and went to bed, without ac quainting the Lieutenant Anent on hoard, and the man he left in trust went to sleep, so that the first notice to all hands was a heavy shock upon a rock, the immediate loss of the rudder and piece or the ke 1. At this time it was very dark, the rudder hating caused the vesel to wear round, the he ivy thumps threw the people down on the deck, breaking the ship in every direction. Then the cook:souse caught fire, while the clew were getting tackles ready to hoist the Imig-boat put, which wag ex tinguished by wet blankets, coats, and sails. As it blew fresh at this pl..ce, no boat could possibly land, from the nature of the coast, and Vie set breaking thirty or forty feet up the steep precipices; but, by the activity of the boatswain, who swung front the bowsprit end, upon a craggy pi:lit:tele in the cavity of the rocks, with a deep sea line, which be threw up to an old fisherman on the top, ropes were passed to and fro, and the w into and troops thereby wet keJ themselves on the precipice, which was higher than the ship's royal mast head, and in about ten minutes after she became a total wreck.— The inhabitants were extremely kind in supplying the people with unbounded hospitality, and on the following morning the whole company were conveyed in waggons to Bridge Town, distant about 18 miles. It is painful to learn that the person who had charge of the watch on deck was also reported to be intoxicated, and with dif ficulty tacked the ship at three o'clock, without orders sn to do. The master went to his bed after giving di rections immediately contrary to his arrangements with the naval officer, whose counsel was, to stand off till three, and who pointed out the set of the current at the proper time, and did not wish the ship to run until day light, and went to his bed in confidence of his sugges tions being followed. What, then, must have been his feelings on being awoke with the shock of the ship wiling on the rocks, and perceiving the great eanger to which all were exposed! CLERICAL INTELLIGENCR.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. - GUILDHA guessers. Silents—'ibis was a proceeding against Mr. Wio,: ;% Sheers for an-assault and battery on the person of Mr. Jas. Hurley.

" Tore Honour," said Mr. Hurley, " its oranges I carry, when I can get 'em, which isn't often, for the orange marchatits lane (notolph); and so does Misther Sheers, now fore anent 4v..tre Honour for punching myself, and by the same token the marks are plain to be seen under my shirt if yore Honour plates."

So yore Honour, I'll jest be kind enough to bind him dew;, to tlit law, for I'll be afraid to live in the court, if I don't get bier under bail, yure Honour." " Well, Mr. Sheers, what have you to say ?" asked Sir Coapite. " Why, your Worship, the case is as this," replied Mr. Sheer , " there's a great lot of us unticketed porters in notolph-lane ; little enough there is for us to do; but I'm the only ittiglishma among them, and that's where the matter hes; for they think, cause they're Irishmen, they've a right to have all the pottering themselves; but to my thinking, an Englishman has as good rash: to keep himself from starving, by carrying a chest of oranges, as as Irishman has. However they call me a hittlettoper, and yesterdzy morning the whole lot of 'ens, sonic twenty or thirty, and Master Hurley, here, amongst the rest, Set upon sae, and gave me such a toweling, as I shall feel for these two weeks to eo :ie. Only see nay eye your Worship!" Och! bad lack to your eye, Mather Sheers !" cried Mr. Her ley—* an ye know ye got yure eye among your own kunthrytnea in Gooldin-lane that day." " Mr. Sheen solemnly declared that he got it among the Irishmen in Botolph-lane, and that was why he went into Mr. Hurley's room to ask bins what he and hi: countrymen meant by knocking him about so savagely ; but instead of making him a decent answer, Mr. Hurley gave him "a deal of sarce," and in return he gave Mr. Mirky an odd thump or two ;" for which he now expreFseclanuck contrition, and hoped his Worship would overlook it. " Yore Honour, I'll be kilt if I don't get him under bail!" re. peated Mr. Hurky, with much emphasis. " You had better go aside and try whether you carom arrange it in a friendly way," said the Alderman. They went aside, and in two minutes they came _back again, when the officer informed the Alderman there was no chance of an amicable arrangemeut, as Mr. Hurley demanded ten shillings as the price of his forbearance—which ten shillings Mr. Sheer* could not pay. "Sure, yure Honour, I've a right to git tin shillings out of him," cried Mr. Hurley," for I'm afraid I'll get kilt with bins, sometime." The ALDZILIZAN thought there was no danger of his getting " kilt ;" and at last Mr. !barley put his fear in his pocket, and took. Mr. Sheen's word of honour to pay hintfiae shillings " as soon as possible." _ _ BOW STR SET. Mr. William Collins, charged with haying obtained 17001. front Colonel John Camac on false pretences, brought up for a second examination. The deposition of Mr. Wells, the Solicitor of Colone) Cans= was read over, and Mr. Wells made some verbal corrections in It. On his cross-examination by Mr. C. Phillips, he said he had no previous knowledge of Mr. Collins ; and being pressed to say whether the 17001. was not given to procure a seat in Parliament, and whether he was not promised a further sum of 10001. a year for a certain number of years, he declined giving an answer, as he was not bound to disclose the secret - of his client. In reply to a question from Mr. Anocritus, he said he gave the 17001. for the purpose of taking up the bond of certain electors of blelmesbury, held by Mr. Piths. _ _ Muisuut.t. thought it was inctinsbeut npen the prosecutor to negative the pretences on which the 17001. was obtained ; and neither Colonel Camac, nor any person from Malmesbury, beingin attendance to do so, Mr. Collins was remanded.

UNION HALL. In our Police Report from this office a few days ago, we Oared that some clothes had been found in the Thames, near the Red House at Battersea, and the condition in which they were, being sprinkled with blood, and cut in such a manner, led to the belief that the owner of them had been murdered. We are glad to find that such is not the case, as the following letter, addressed to the Sitting Magistrate, will explain: " Sin—Having my attention directed to a description of some clothes which were found in the Thames on Sundiy, I beg to explain to whom they belonged, and how they came to be in the river. " They were the clothes in which my brother's servant, ‘Villbeat Glover, was unfortunately killed last week by the falling of lktr. Maudslay's roof. On inquiry, I find that the cook, anxious to have them removed, gave them on Friday et Satutday last to a man named Higgins, the brother of a labourer in Mr. &laudslay's em ploy, who was then engaged in clearing the rubbish from the yard in which the young nun was kilted. Higgins, on ex tminatior. found the clothes to be of little or no value, and presenting a horrid spectacle ; he, to get rid of them, foolishly threw them otter West minster bridge. " I find the description so wisely published agrees exactly with the things given to this man. They were much cut to get them se the poorieilow, who was shockingly mangled. " I am Sir, your obedient Seevant, "JOSIIU FIELD." " Cheltenham-place, Lambetb„lone 2." Mr. CA[JwaLL, the Magistrate, to whom the above leuer was addressed, remarked, that publicity having been properi) given to the circumstance to which the letter alluded, all doubt now craned as to the idea that a murder bad been committed.
