THE• GRAND DUKE OF BADEN. CAIILSRUHE, MARCH 30. IliA Royal Highness the Gland Duke Louis died this morning at o'clock, from the effects of • fit of nervous apoplexy, which ittackcd him a few days ago. His brothel and successor, the ';rand Duke Leopold, immediately assumed the reinrof govern. • .cnt, and published the following proclamation : We, Leopold, by the grace of GOD, Grand : Duke of Baden, Duke of Zuhringen, &c. make known, " It has pleased the ALMIGHTT to call to himself, this morn ing, at two o'clock, his Royal Highness Prince Louis, Grand Duke of Baden, out beloved brother, and to plunge us •nd the whole. Ducal Family and the whole Duchy into profound sfiliction. This unevpec'ed event has placed the Government of the Grand Duchy in our hands, and by virtue of the laws of the country, we !lave assume 1 the reins of Government, and announce it to all our subjects, inviting them to be as devoted and faithful to us, as obe dient to the actual and future laws, as they have been to our illus trious brother, and the laws which he issued. At the same time we give the assurance of our former resole. rat scrupulously to maintain the constitution of the country, to promote its prosperity to the utmost of our power, and to preserve to every one his rights, dignities, and employments; and, at the sante time, expressly confirm all our servants in the posts which are confided to them.

" EICHRODT. PARIS, Aran. 5. The new Grand Duke of Baden was born in 1790, of the second marriage of Charles Louis Frederic, the father of the late Grand Duke. He married, in 1819, the Princess Sophia of Sweden, daughter of the ex-King Gustavus IV. PARIS, Aram 4. A letter from Frankfort, of the 20th of March, speaks of a note sent from Berlin to Vienna, in which the Prussian Cabinet declares, in the most energetic manner, that it is determined to take severe measures in case the decree of the Diet against the Duke of Bruns wick should be carried into execution. It is added, that this note has made a lively impression on the Austrian Ministers, and that they immediately dispatched an extraordinary courier to London. SIR F. BURDETT AND RADICAL REFORM. Yesterday a Meeting of the " Council" of the Radical Reform Association was held at the Globe Tavern, Shoe-lane, the Rev. C. Glum?: in the Chair. _ Mr. CARPENTER observed that at a former Meeting the name of Sir F. Burdett had been entered on their books, on the motion of Mr. Diu Santos. He would not question the integrity of Sir Francis, although it must be admitted that great changes had taken place, and in the absence of Mr. Diu Santos he moved that Sir F. Burdett be admitted a Member of the Political Council. Mr. HENRY Burr said he recollected the time when Sir Francis was a radical reformer, and also when he ceased to be one, but now he had become so again. The Council ought to admit none but good men and true, and he would have resisted, had he known of it, any attempt to invite Sir Franck into their Councils. Mr. 111 Away said any, person who had read the speech of Sir Framis on the corn question, must admit that he was not a fit per son tr. have a seat in the Co uncil of a Radical Reform Society. A person ptesent said Sir Francis had since become a new man. A ballot was taken, and there appeared For the motion. a Against it . Majority .... Sir Francis Burdett was therefore declared duly elected. The Secretary read the following letter :- 21, Charles-street, April 6. Si& —ln reply to the letter with which you have favoured me, 1 beg to say, that if the electors of Westminster choose to call a public Meeting for the purpose to which you allude, or for any other pub. lic object, and require my presence, I shall, of course, feel myself bound to obey their commands.—l am, &c. J. C. Horwouss. To Mr. Reilly, Secretary. Mr. Ilu Er said he was unfortunately absent when the resolution was passed, which authorised the secretary to write to the Members for Westminster. Mr. Hobhouae gave them a severe slap in the face in his letter, and very justly so, but the silence of Sir F. Bur. dett was still worse. Mr. Dias SANTOS entered the room, and on being informed of the discussion that had taken plac e , s a id he had received a letter from Sir F. Burdett. According to one of their rules, every Mem ber In his private capacity was to use his best exertions in further ance of the objects of the Union, provided he acted upon his own responsibility. He, so acting, and to the best of his judgment, wrote to Sir Francis Burdett, and received the following letter from the Hon. Baronet. The following was then read : _ St. James's-place, March 30. Sir,-1 have not a moment to look over the regulations--but have no hesitation in joining a Society for a Reform in Parliament. Yours, &c. F. BURDETT. E. Dias Santos, Esq. This explanation of Mr. Dias Santos was received with every mark of approbation, and after the settlement of some matter of account, &c. the Meeting adjourned. The Countess of ARRAN entertained a select party of tashionables yesterday evening, at her house in Dover-strait. Sir J. ASTLEY, Bart. has offered 20 acres of land, free of rent, in the parish of Hindovestone, to be divided and culti. rated among such of the industrious poor as the parish officers shall recommend. Sir G. WARRENDER, Bart. had a Grand Musical Party yesterday evening at his house in Albemarle-street, which was very fashionably. attended. We learn that Sir R. PEEL is somewhat better. The Countess of Harcourt transport has left Deptford for the ki.diterranean ; she carries out Col. ARMSTRONG to Corfu, and illr. NV CLFORD u Malta on his way to Egypt and the interior of Africa. Lord Goiniticu intends, on the 27th inst. to bring forward a mo.ion regarding the Funded and Unfunded Debt.

Si aN Elf, Bart. has presented a petition to the Committee of Privileges of the BMW of Lords, praying to be heard by Council against Colonel BRUMLEY'S claim to the Barony (by *enure) of Berkeley. Mr. HERRI ES entertained the Cabinet Ministers to dinner yesterday evening, at his residence in Great George -street. Yesterday, a deputation from the inhabitants of Bishopsgate waited on the Rev. R. HARVEY, Rector of Hornsey, to present him with a very handsome set of waiters of 2004. value, with an inscription, setting forth the high sense they entertain of his indefatig able exertions in his Pastoral office, and o f t h e tru l y Christian spirit which characterised the perfoi mane of all his mi . nisterial duties while Curate of their parish. It is reported that his Majesty's ship Caledonia, 120 Bans, which has been recently docked and widened at Plymouth, is preparing for commission, and intended as the future flag-ship of the Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth. Saturday last his Excellency the LORD LIEUTENANT and her Grace the Duchess of NoirrituiusicaLaxo entertained the following distinguished party at dinner : Marquess of Done gal, Lord and Lady Hesse, Hon.

ENGLISH W00L..--A GOOD EXAMPLE.-011 Wed nesday last several most respectable farmers, who were dining at the Castle and Falcon, came to the determinati o n not t o wear any cloth bu t that m a d e of English Wool. Some excellent patterns being shown to them by Mr. Pettifar, tailor, of Kirkgate, six coats were • I lmitfliately ordered. If all the farmers would come to the same detenninatioe, they would not have so much reason to complain. The suggestion was made by Mr. Wright of Collingbam, and Mr. Robinson, of Brandon.—Newark Times. Oa a recent appeal before the Commissioners of the Assessed Taxes at Wakefield it was determined, and has since been confirmed by the Board in London, that all persons hiring a gig for ane or more days, and at various periods during the_year, of a per. duly licensed to let out such gig for hire, and not returning tot he assessor the time when, and of whom hired, on the Subseque" Sill of April, arc liable to be charged with the duty for the same, as if it was their own property. The same rule equally extends to the biting of bones. A LAMENT. Fraser's Town and Country Magazine. Ata—Tcach, oh! teach me to forget " WHEN the dawn of youth was round me, And the future shining fair, One fond dream of pure love bound me, — Now 'tis past, and I despair ! Though I bring no mounfil token, And with tearless grief deplore, Well I know my heart is broken— Still it loves, but hopes no more ! Like the tree, in storm unfolding Buds that slept when skies were clear, Was my love, its voice withholding Till my day of life grew drear ; Fervent vows were all unspoken, Hush'd within my deep heart's Dore; Now I know that heart is broken— Still it loves, but hopes no more In the hour of lonely feeling, When I shun the cold and rain, Then, ah ! then, a bright revealing Seems to smile away my pain ! Fancy's 4ift--delusive giver ! What is all her spells restore ! Sunlight on a frosen river— Still it shines, but warms no more ! V. HIS MAJESTY'S COURT.

His Serene Highness the Grand Duke Louts of Baden died on the 30th tilt. of an attack of apoplexy. His brother, the Grand Duke Lzortmo, immediately afterwards assumed the reins of government, and issued a proclamation ' engaging to support the constitution of the counay, and to respect the rights of his people. Sir R. G. BOOTH, Bart. of Lisadill House, who has just been married to one of the daughters of Mr. Seejeant GOOLD, is said to possess an unencumboed estate of 14,0001. a-year, besides a considerable personal property amassed during his minority. The present is the second marriage of Si,r ROBERT, although he has not passed his twenty-fifth year. —Morning 14yisler. It is stated that the Duke of WELLINGTON has or dered a military inquiry to be instituted forthwith into the circum. stances connected with the late melancholy duel between Mr. O'GRADY and Captain SMITH. The coroner, Mr. PAISLEY, who presided at the inquest, has been called on to make a copy of the depositions taken before him, in order that they may be trans mitted to the Horse Guards. REPRESINTATION OF DERRY.—A very active Can sus has been commenced for the representation of Derry, vacant by the appointment of Sir G. HILL to the government of St. Vincent's. Sir R. FERGUSON and Captain HART have already addressed the electors. It would appear, from the Derry Sentinel, that a third candidate, in the person of a "gentleman nearly related to the fa mily," is about to enter the field against the two gentlemen just named. We suppose the gentlenian alluded to is Mr. G. HILL, the nephew of the Hight Hon. Baronet, and who at present holds the office of Deputy Vice-Treasurer of Ireland.—Everting Mail. The statement in the papers some time ago respecting the diamond ring given by the King of Sweden to Sir Theophilus Lee, was not altogether correct. It was given to him on account of his having presented two framed pictures of the Battle of Navarino to his Swedish Majesty, and not on account of his having trans mitted to his Majesty • some valuable documents."' Extract of a letter from Erzeroum, dated January B. " This city has just witnessed a solemnity memorable in the annals of Asia Minor, namely, the benediction of the waters of the Eu phrates according to Greco-Russian rites, now rendered practicable by the presence of the Russian army, and which the Christian in. habitants have not dared to perform for nine centuries past. The Russian priest, accompanied by the Greek clergy and an Armenian , bishop, repaired in procession to the appointed place, nine wersts from the city, where they were received by detachments of troops with the standards of the Russian garrison, while the road leading from Erseroum to the spot, and th e b an k s o f the river, were thronged by spectators, among whom were even many Turks. At the mo ment when the blessing of the waters was pronounced, the troops fired vollies of musketry, and, having afterwards received benediction from the priest, they marched back with military music. This reli gious ceremony excited an extraordinary degree of enthusiasm among the Christian population of Erseroum, and its memory a ill long be cherished as that of a signal benefit conferred by the presence of the Russians." - - THE COUNTESS OE ORMONDE. —Died, on Faturtlay morning, the 3d inst. at her house in Rutland-square, Dublin, the Right Hon. ANNE, Countess of Oanorroz, relict of JOHN, late Earl of ORMOND', and mother of the late and present Marquis of ORMONDE, and of the Hon. CHARLES BUTLER (CLARICE), One of the Representatives in Parliament for the County of Kilkenny. Her Ladyship_ ' was the daughter and so l e h e i ress o f JOHN , the W late Earl of ANDISTORD by whose death in the year 1784, without male issue, the t i t l e became extinct ; but his great es tates at Casdeoomer in the County of Kilken_ny, and at Kirklington Hall, Yorkshire (t he very ancient seat of the WAWDRSTORD family) descended to the Countess, who also inherited a considerable estate in the counties of Limerick and Clare, in right of her mother the late Countess of WANDESFOJID. The loss of so excellent and valuable a character has inflicted a deep wound which will be long and severely felt not only by those conn e ct e d w i t h h er L a d ys hi p b y the t i es of blood and friendship, but by all who knew and respected her high and sterling qualities and virtues. To the poor of Castlecomer and to her tenantry her loss will indeed be irreparable. The greatest part of her splendid income was disposed of among them in munificence and charities. She erected at Castlecomer one of the most beautiful and well arranged towns of that extent in the United Kingdom, and established and endowed schools and institutions for education, and establishments and asylums for the support and comfort of the poor, the aged, and infirm, and the improvements she made and carried on in ber beautiful and splendid demane (by the intervention of ber agent, Ricitmtn EATON, Esq. afforded employment for her te nantry and the lower orders, ands prmd comfort, content, and hap piness all around be: estate and ne4hbourbood.

Adams, 21, (convicted in January session,) stealing in a dwelling-house. All of whom his Majesty was gra. dourly pleased to respite during his Royal pleasure, except Thomas Sales, who is left for execution on Wednesday next. THE PASSOVER OF THE JEWS. Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, this important religious fes tival of the Jews commenced. The following ceremonies were ob served en the evening previous to the passover. The master of every family searched the different apartments of his house for leavened bread, after the following manner:—Being lighted with a small wax candle, he takes a wisk, gathering up all the leaven lying in his way. As soon as he comes to the first piece of leavened bre ad he says, " Blessed art thou, 0 Lord, our GOD, King of the Uni verse, who bath sanctified us with thy commandments, and corn. minded us to clear away the leaven." While he is gathering the pieces of bread, which are purposely laid for him, he does not speak. When done gathering the bread, he says as follows : " All the leavened or leavening that is in my possession that I have not seen, and which I have not received, shall be null, and ac counted as the dust of the earth." He then ties the spoon and candle in a linen rag, with nil the leavened bread gathered which are kept till next morning (the morning of the passover), after breakfast, and burnt. If the master is not at home, he annuls the leaven wherever he is. If the eve of the passover happens to fall on the Sabbath the search is made on the Thursday evening previous, and the leavened bread burnt on the Friday before noon, and every utensil used for leaven re moved on the Friday before the Sabbath commences, reserving only two meals for the Sabbath. After breakfast on the Sabbath ' they shake out the cloth on which they have eaten, and put away the utensils with those not to be used during the festival. The above festival lasts eight clear days, during which time the Jews are en. ' joined to refrain from entering any houses of public entertainment and drinking any kind of malt liquor, their only beverage being rum, shrub, or raisin wine. The rum must be in the same state in which it is purchased at the docks, and on which the seal of the high priest is placed as an attestation of its being genuine, and is termed " Cosher rum." MADAME CARADORI ALLAN. VIEXICE, MARCH 22.—Last night terminated, in a most joyous manner, the season of performances at the great Theatre of IA Fe. nice. At an early hour the house, which exceeds in size the King's Theatre in London, was overflowing, and at eight the Royal Family arrived, and the performance commenced. As the stagers presented themselves, a number of portraits and poetical effusions were thrown from the ventilators in the ceiling, and were eagerly caught by the occupants of the pit. Two portraits and eight different specimens of poetical composition, celebrated the various qualities and accom plishments which have raised Madame atitagoiti to the highest estimation in Venice. Her recitative and cavatina were frequently interrupted with loud bursts of applause, and In the second act she sang her Scene amidst a shower of gold leaf, which continued to descend till she had concluded, so that the stage and part of the pit were literally gilt. At this period a book of verses, addressed to Madame CARADORI, with a well executed portrait, was presented to the proprieter of each box. At the conclusion, the composer of the Opera led in Madame CARADORI and two other principal reformers, to receive and ac knowledge the plaudits, which contanued . .for a considerable time after the fall of the curtain. On returning home, Madame Cava noir was waited on by a number of the principal inhabitants, who felicitated her upon her professional triumphs. At the same time the Orchestra of La Fenice assembled under her windows, and serenaded for more than an hour, relieved from time to time by the cheering of the populace, with whom the street was crowded. Preparations are making at his MAJESTY'S Palace, St. James's, for his reception in London, to hold a Levee and a Birth.day Court. His MAJESTY has recovered from the slight cold with which he has been affected. By an entry in the Commons Journals in the time of the Commonwealth, it appears that after two days debate, a vote was agreed to, " That the High Court of Chancery of England shall be forthwith taken taken away, and that a Bill be brought in for that purpose"—a vote "at which," says a quaint writer of the time, " good people, when they heard of it, did rejoice." Lord ELLEN aottounit s Divorce Bill was carried back to the House of Lords last night. Their Lordships having waited full three quarters of an hour, doing nothing, for, it was assumed, the messenger to convey this Bill, Sir GEORGE CLERKE returned the Bill to their Lordships. There is a Commi s si o n this day to give the Royal Assent to this and other Bills. It is generally reported at Toulon that the Duke de Chartres will accompany the Dauphin, and will afterwards em. bark on board the Provence, and go with the expedition. The four steam-boats building in the private yards of Toulon have been engaged by Government to form part of the expedition, and will be occupied with those belonging to the State in conveying despatches to and from the coast of Africa, as long as the army remains there. —Messages. des Charntsres.

The French journals which give an account ot them express doubts of their authenticity. The editor is a M. Moteau Rosier, who makes a strange story of the manner in which he got possession of the ma. nuscript. Last summer, when on a visit to one of his friends in the country, who is engaged in the cultivation °fa faun, be learned from hint that one of his lJhourvis was the nephew of the carpenter with whom Robespierre lodges!, and that this Lboutcr possessed some mnoustripts. M. Rosier asked a sight of them. They con. sired of an immense toll ot papers, sealed up, and tied with oi. colouted ribunds. He broke the seals, unrolled the paper, and fourd, to his agreeable surprise, that it contained the autobiography of the terrible and sanguinary Jacobir. If these Memoirs can be proved to be au.bentle, they will form one of the most curious works which hare been left us by the monsters, or the martyrs, of the re volution. The important case of " Blackwood v. Blackwood," in which Mr. O'Connell was specially retained at the Downpatrick assizes, terminated on Friday evening, having occupied the court during that and the two preceding days. Mr. E. Pcnnefather, stated the case on the part of the plaintiff; and was replied to by Mr. (late Serjeant) Lefroy, who is represented as having made a most powerful impresaion in favour of the defendant. Mr. O'Con. nell spoke to evidence on the part of the plaintiff, and addressed the jury for four bouts and a half. The jury, a ft er deliberating nearly six tours, found a verdict for the plaintiff. On the former trial, the verdict was also for the plaintiff. To the eternal disgrace of the Duke of Newcastle, se veral of the tenants have been compelled to leave their dwellings, whose only offence has been doing what this sage Duke claims the right of doing, viz.—" what he will with his own." We recollect the sensitiveness which characterised the letter of the Duke in an. 'wee to Sir Francis Burdett's assertion of his Ones as a borough. monger. Al hat greater proof, what stronger evidence can be re. gaited than the conduct here displayed 1 Sensitive as his Grace may be, we will tell him, that one great proof of a man being en titled to the character of a gentleman is answe letters. We know that more than one or two has been sent him, se basset replied; the inference will be drawn.

From the Manchester Times. MARPLE, MARCH 31. A number of persons, inhabitants of 31arple, Strines, and the neighbourhood, having determined upon opening the old footpath recently stopped up by Mr. Arkwright, proceeded about six o'clock this evening to the gates erected by Mr. Arkwright, at the entrance to the above named road. Finding them locked, and several men on the other side, seemingly prepared to oppose an entrance, Mr. Arkwright was sent for to ask him if he would allow the road to be thrown open to the public ? On his refusal to allow the road to be opened peaceably, Mr. Thomas Bruce, of Strines, taking a mattock, forced off the lock, and the whole party passed through at that part of the road which passes Mr. Arkwright's premises. They were met by Fur. Arkwright self, armed with a double-barrelled gun, who swore that if any man attempted to pass that way he would blow him through, and shoot his head off. He said the gun was loaded, and presented it to the breast of William Barnes. On being told that this was an unlawful act, he became very abusive, and said he dill not care a d—n for the law. Mr. Arkwright having two constables esent, ordered them to take into custody Mr. Bruce and Mr. J. Mason, who were handcuffed together, and taken before 31r. Leigh, the magistrate. Mr. Leigh inquired if the men had been commit ' ting robbery or murder, and being answered in the negative, ordered them to be set at liberty. Mr. Arkwright had, in the forenoon of the same day, caused two young men who were walking peaceably along the same road to be handcuffed, and after keeping them in custody for half an hour, set them at liberty, without even the form of taking them before any magistrate. The facts above stated, we are assured, can be verified by tli.l oaths of several creditable witnesses. We are sorry that a gunk man of Mr. Arkwright's station in life should take so much pains to render himself obnoxious to his neighbours. In this respect his character strongly contrasts with that of the late Mr. Oidknow, of the same place. Mr. Arkwright seems to have acted very rathly and unadvisedly throughout this affair, and, we apprehend, has laid himself open to the strong lash of the law, if the parties choose to commence pro ceedings. We rejoice that the inhabitants of Itlarple and Strines know their rights, and " knowing, dart maintain." Itlr. Rawson, of Darley-hall, near Halshaw.moor, a short time ago stopped up a road which leads from Prestole e to Halshaw. moor, which be bad several times before diverted from its on ginal line. The inhabitants of the neighbourhood being deter. mined not to permit their rights to be thus taken from them, went, in company with Mr. Seddon, of Prestolee, accompanied by a number of men in his employment, and determined to have the road opened. They were, however, oppposed by Mr. Rawson's men, and the consequence of this opposition was a trial of strength between the contending parties, in which a number of the men on both sides received bruises, and one man was very seriously injured. Eventually Mr. Seddon's men succeeded in opening the road, but since that time Mr. Rawson has caused it to be stopped up again_ The above circumstances having been communicated to the Foot path Society, several of its members went to the place, and on :At tempting to go over the road, were stopped by Mr. Rawson's :nen. They afterwards made inquiry, and found that the road had been used for half a century. In consequence of this road having been stopped, persons will have to go near two miles round. FRACAS BETWEEN MR. JUSTICE GASELEE AND Ma. SERGEANT BONIPASS.—In the Crown Court at the present Anises, on Thursday, Mr. Sergeant Bompass, in cross-examining a witness, who bad stated that the prisoner had started or ab. sented himself, on being suspected of stealing hay, asked if he (the witness) had been 'inspected, whether guilty or innocent, would'he like to be confined in prison three months, as the hay was stolen in January ?— Witness : No.—Sergeant &impala Would you not have started too, even if you were conscious of your innocence ? Yes.—Sergeant Bompass : Aye, to be sure, and so would any man at his senses.--Justice °melee : lam astonished that a Sergeant.st. Law, who is so great an advocate for regularity, should be so kw gala; as to make such a remark, which had nothing to do with the evidence, particularly as it is likely to show so bad an example.— Sergeant Bompass _(with some warmth) I contend, as a Sergeant. at-law, the question was regular.—Justice Oaselee : I admit, :Sir, the question was regular ; but It was irregular in you to make such a remark, and I will not staffer it.--hergeant Bompass: I had a ' right, as an advocate, to put the question without an observation, but I have been interrupted by the Court.—Justice Gaselee : I have, I Sir to answer to the public for my conduct, and I shall not suff er it.l-Sergeant Barman: (cooly) We have all to answer to the public.—Here the discussion terminated.—Chsitenkem Journal.

The rooms of James Robinson, 122, Grove.street, Camden-town, were entered by some person or persons unknown, and a small trunk stolen, containing sovereigns and half sovereigns to the amoant of DOL. gold seals and a key, and other valuable articles, the produce of his labour. No suspicion arose till the Ist of April, as the room door and box were left locked and found so. Sunday evening last, a most disgraceful outrage took place in the church of St. Luke's, Chelsea. A charity sermon had been preached by the Rev. Mr. Blount, and the donations had hcer. gathered from pew to pew, after which a hymn was rung.
