THE EVENING STAR. lc • - ff. )t( iv e , u iersAtt,r„.J,; lON DON. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9. 4. WINDSOR CASTLE, Juss 9, 1830. " The K 'SG continued less embarrassed in his respira tion all yesterday ; and his MAJESTY slept, at intervals, in the night." (Signed) ~ HENRY HALFORD. " MATTHEW J. TIERNEY." Dematches were this morning received at the Colonial office from Sir James Carmichael Smith, Governor of the Bahamas. An express from Paris, just arrived, conveys the in telligence that the French fleet, on the Algerine expedi tion, had safely arrived at Port Mahon. The accounts previously reported of the ships having encountered a storm, and of their having been scattered, have thus proved to be without foundation. The fleet was just on the eve of sailing direct for Algiers. We find, in one of the leading papers of this morning, a paragraph which gives some degree of weight to a report to which we alluded yesterday, and which has been rumoured for some days, and even before alluded to in several journals, that an opposition has been organized against the present Administration ; and that, consequently, a proximate change of Ministers is by some contemplated as a pro bable event. The existence of these rumours affords us an opportunity, perhaps desirable at the commence ment of our labours of daily animadverting on political events, to premise our general views on the contingencies of this important subject, and to state how we think the interests of the country would incline us to wish, and how they are involved in the question. When the present administration assumed the direction of public affairs, it must be admitted that its decidedly military character gave rise to most unfavourable prepos sessions in the minds of all impartial men, and more particularly in the minds of those who were anxious to preserve entire, or rather to extend, the power of the people. The apparent intention in the framer of the Ad ministration, to exclude from place, as much as possible, that class of public men which had usually supplied our Statesmen, and to select from a class which had always been considered, and particularly by English men characteristically jealous of their rights, as danger ous depositaries of power, naturally occasioned an unpro pitious kind of feeling, in even those who were perfectly ready to do homer, to the military talent of the fortunate leader. Such was undoubtedly then the predominating popular impression ; and this impression, it must, we think, be allowed, has been, in a very considerable de gree—to use the phrase of an ancient philosopher—lived down, during the period that has elapsed ; and that it must likewise be allowed that the present Administration is perhaps the most popular, and notwithstanding their failings, and failings they undoubtedly display, the most justly popular of any which has preceded it in the reign of the present King. If we enquire on what this popularity is founded, we at once perceive, that it rests principally in the Adminis tration not offering ,opposition, but rather encouraging forward the improving spirit of the age. When good is accomplished, it is perhaps rather ungenerous to scruti nize with suspicion the impelling motive of those who have been the agents ;—but it cannot fail to be observed, as at least a peculiar coincidence, that many circum stances had occurred to bring about the time in our po litical history, when the influence of the statesman de pended for its existence on the legitimate influence of the people. A little reflection on the transactions of our Se nate, shews that the popular troops have been won over to protect that camp they might have been expected to attack. Opposition—associated general opposition of the old school, which—although we may be reluctant to use the expression—is in reality a factious opposition, has ceased when it should cease: that is, when the abuses and de fects of legislation, and the evils of bad government, are acknowledged, and in progress towards correction. Never, we think, in the whole course of British History, did there exist a state of parties so favourable to the interests of the country, as at present. The op position is two-fold—the portions of which are for tunately heterogeneous, and refuse all real combina tion. The only portion of this opposition, hav ing any real power, is an opposition of principle ; and its power is in the people. This party have not in themselves sufficient strength to obstruct those acts of Government, which, it is essential to the character of the State, should be decisive ; and yet they possess the power to counteract any act of the administration hostile to the people, and to aid them, with an effective force, in carrying any mea sure for their advantage. This state of parties has produced the grand acts of religious liberty, and this has prevented any serious attacks on our privileges. We are inclined to think, in some instances, in matters of reform, ministers stop short of the satisfactory goal ; but, at the same time, a slow progress has some advantage in the security of its step. It is an agreeable philosophy to glean comfort even in disappointment ; and, as a species if this comfort, it will perhaps be admitted, that the timid and lukewarm Reformer is often, in results, safer than the energetic and zealous. On the whole, we candidly confess to our readers, that we rather hear with regret, the rumours that are daily current of a change in the administration. We might wish tu see united with it, a few characters of the very highest rank in our estimation as men—as talented men —u patriots—and we could name them ; but a question arises, are not these very men more useful, and exercising a much higher authority in the State, by just resnaning in their present position ? We conceive mature reflection on the subject would answer in the affirmative. No honour, or emoluments, or patronage, should we begrudge to a BROUG lIA M ors BURDETT ; but we are perstaded not only their utility, but their authority in the State, would vanish, were the former sunk into a Master cl the Rolls, or the latter into a Peer. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Nothing is heard of in the City but continual enquiries in regard to his Majesty, whether he is still living; and that which excites greatly the attention of the public, is the appearance of Messrs. Mash and Martin, o f th e L ord Chamberlain's Office, at the Castle, which has rather a suspicious appearance. Although the funds left off yes terday rather heavy, 921 I, they hare rather a brighter appearance, and opened at 92i for the account, but little is doing as yet. The time is now drawing near to hear the result of the French expedition to Algiers, which, ac cording to the French accounts, would have arrived off the coast on or about the sth instant ; therefore we may expect daily a telegraphic dispatch from Paris on the subject, for which the speculators are anxiously waiting. In the Foreign Market, Mexican bonds are this morning the favourite speculation, and have got up about 2 per cent. owing to favourable information from that quarter. In other stocks nothing doing as yet. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 7.—The demand for Pine Timber, though not considerable, has been better this week than it was the week preceding. Logs of the best qualities only maintain their price, while timber of middling quali ties is drooping, and even lower. Inferior is very difficult of sale at any price. Several cargoes of Baltic Timber which have lately arrived are now being discharged, and are going to the yard, there being but little disposition on the part of the trade to purchase ; one or two cargoes only have been sold. There has been a moderate demand for Indigo, at fair prices. The imports of Irish Grain continue weekly to decrease, but those of Foreign are now large. The Journal of Havre states, that a new prophet has appeared in Senegal, which had become the theatre of war. He was at the head of 3,000 fanatics in the country of Wabo, masaacreing all persons he encountered ; but at length he was defeated in a battle, leaving 1,500 men on the field, and afterwards was taken prisoner, and condemned to be hung. Montreal Papers to the 11th May, and Quebec to the 9th May, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. They state that the English Mail has brought orders for retrenching the Commissariat Department in the Canadas, the officers of which are allowed two months to settle the business of that depart ment, and then retire on half-pay. CITY, HALF.PAST ONE We continue still in doubt and uncertainty, in regard to his Majesty ; and the public are anxiously waiting the appearance of the bulletin ; in the meantime the Funds remain in a very inactive state. Consols have been during the whole of the morning, at 921 for the Account, alternately buyers and sellers. Reduced may be quoted, 911 to f.

(las. at al pm) 40 In the month of February, 1750, a violent shock of an earthquake, announced as it were by coruscations of aurora borealis, with tempests of thunder, lightning, rain, and hail, greatly terrified the inhabitants of London ; and this terror was redoubled by a similar phenomenon the very same day of the following month, between 5 and 6 1 in the morning : the shock was preceded by low flashes of lightning, and a rumbling noise like that of a heavy carriage rolling over a hollow pavement ; its vibrations shook every house from top to bottom, and, in many places, the church bells were heard to strike • people started naked from their beds, and ran to their doors and windows in a state of distraction ; yet no house was overthrown, and no life lost. A fanatical soldier went about preaching repentance, and prophecying that a third shock, on the same day in April, would lay the mighty Babylon in ruins. The churches were now ' , crowded, and licentiousness was awed for a time ; those who were able fled from the city, and the highways were encumbered with horses and car riages. On the Bth of April,' says Smollett, the open fields that skirt the metropolis were filled with an incre dible number of people assembled in chairs, chaises, and coaches, as well as on foot, who waited in the most fearful suspense until morning, and the return of day disproved the truth of the dreaded prophecy.' Bishop Sherlock took occasion from this to publish a Pastoral Letter to the Clergy and Inhabitants of London and Westminster, on occasion of the late Earthquakes,' of which 100,000 copies were sold within a month."— Valpy's Divines of the Church of England..—An excellent work. The life of Bishop Sherlock is written in a liberal and manly spirit, which does credit to the writer, and to the prelate to whom it is dedicated. COURT INTILLIGENCR. The Duke of Wellington after remaining about two hours at the Palace on Monday evening, went to the seat of his brother, Lord Maryborougb, at Fern-hill. An express was afterwards sent to his Grace. The Duke returned to the Palace about eleven o'clock, but after remaining a short time left for London. Mr. Mash and Mr. Martin, of the Lord Chamberlain's office, arrived at the Palace yesterday morning from town, and remained at the Palace till half past four o'clock, when they left the Palace for London. Sir Herbert TA r Lon left the Palace about half-past four o'clock. Both the physicians remain in constant attendance on the Kix u . The greatest anxiety was evinced yesterday by the Nobility and Gentry to see the Bulletin at the King's Palace, St. James's; during the time that it was exhibited the rooms were constantly thronged with company : it was half an hour after the usual time be fore the rooms were cleared. Lord Clinton and Sir William Houston were the Lord and Groom in waiting. The members of the Corporation of the Trinity-House came to the residence of the Duke of Clarence, in Bushy park, yesterday morning, and announced to his Royal Highness his re-election as Master of the Corporation, at a meeting held on Monday (being Trinity Monday,) at their Hall, at Deptford. The Royal Duke was sworn in to the office. The Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, accompanied by Prince Frederick of Prussia and Prince George of Cumberland, also arrived at Bushy. Prince Frederick was introduced to the Duke and Duchess of Clarence by the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland. An elegant dejeuni was served in the early part of the afternoon to the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, Prince Frederick of Prussia, and the members of the Corporation, who appeared in the morning dress of the Windsor uniform. The Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, accompanied by Prince Frederick of Prussia and Prince George, after wards returned to their residence at Kew. The Corporation also took their leave, and returned to town. Prince Frederick of Prussia came to town yesterday evening from Kew, and honoured the entertainment given by the Prussian Minister, at his residence in Great Cum berland-place, in honour of the arrival of his Royal High ness, with his presence. Some of the Cabinet Ministers were invited to meet the Prince. Count Mastuchevitz, the new Russian Minister, had an interview with the Duke of Wellington yesterday at the Treasury, for the first time. His Excellency had a conference with the French ambassador and the Earl of Aberdeen, in the afternoon, at the Foreign-office. The Cabinet Council held at three o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign-office, was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, Earls Bathurst, Roselyn, and Aberdeen, Viscount Melville, Lord Ellen borough, Sir Robert Peel, Sir George Murray, the Chan cello rof the Exchequer, and Mr. Herries. The Council sat übout an hour in deliberation. His Royal Highness Prince Frederick of Prussia, who arrived on Monday afternoon, was conveyed by the " Queen of the Netherlands" steam vessel, Captain Richard Sharp, from Rotterdam to London, and not by the " United Kingdom " steam packet. A report bus been spread that a great Northern Power has interfered in the affair of Bavaria and Baden. The former Power, it is proposed, shall receive the value of six millions of florins in territorial possessions (a sin gular mode of valuation); and on that condition the in tegrity of Baden shall be guaranteed by the German Confederation. The Bishop of London held an ordination at St. Paul's Cathedral on Sunday Last, when 43 candidates were ad mitted into holy orders. According to letters which have been received from Paris, it would appear, that the representative of the Duke of Wellington is not very popular in that city.— These letters state that Lord Stuart de Rothsay was groaned and hissed by the populace at the Palsis Royal, while at the Duke of Orleans's party. Lord Gower is to exchange office with Sir Henry Har dinge, now, or lately, Secretary at War. This arrange ment appears somewhat sudden, and speculation , of course, is busy as to its cause. S ome suppope that Lord Gower is opposed to the Suppression Bill, and the other aggressions on the rights of Ireland, and that as Mr. Goulburn is determined, with the permision of the Duke, to " stand or fall" with these precious measures, the Noble Lord has considered it dignified and consistent to let some other person act the part of executioner in their regard. IRISH FREEHOLDERII.-.At the desire of Lord Pal merston, a return has been ordered forthwith of the number of freeholders registered and qualified to vote in each county in Ireland. A paragraph appeared some time since in the Mail, stating that a Catholic Bishop had not only refused to pay parish cess, but gives as his reasons for do ing so, that the cess was intended for the repairs of an edifice in which " an untrue religion" was taught, and that the assessment for elements, bread, and wine, were " desecrated to unholy pulposes."—The Kilkenny Journal gives the following contradiction to this paragraph, on the authority of the two churchwardens who called upon the Right Rev. Dr. Kinsella, Bishop of Ossory, the prelate alluded to by the Mail :—" The Right Reverend Doctor Kinsella, Roman Catholic Bishop of Ossory, was called on by the church wardens of St. Mary's parish to pay church-rates and ministers'-money. He received them with that eti quette and politeness for which he is remarkable, and which one gentleman will ever practice towards another. He told them he did not think it consistent to call on him to contribute to the support of a church from which he dif fered, or to provide elements for it ; that he would not wil lingly pay their demand—but that if they (the churchwar dens) deemed it imperative on them, in discharge of their duty, to direct a seizure of any portion of his property, he would submit, and offer no obstruction whatsoever, by legal proceedings or otherwise; that at aU events, he hoped this difference of opinion with regard to their claim should be no interruption to the kindly feeling that ought to exist between them." Miss Fanny Kemble does not appear to have been so successful at Bath as in London. The Beth Chronicle of Wednes day says:—" Bliss Bauble, youthful as she is, is too old a Juliet ; site has evidently been taught in the Siddenian school, and has been tutored over The sepuldmd intonations of voice In which she ocamionally indulged, o the sacrifice of mate, feeling, and pro. riety, and manifestly with the view of producing ant, meld not have been Introduced in any character with so Rule judgment." - - ET&I7SCAN ANTIQUITIES.—These antiquities, which see beft exhibited se the Western Faacimass, enopriee several meet erw and Wanting The piers and talus vessels, ad she sense rides erfabb, see la sdinhable prawra den, sad the einerary was are alike deserviaig the impales el the dirmisal eosin sad the antiquary.

PROVINCIAL NEWS. Two hundred and two individuals were relieved, last week, Li Kilkenny, by the charitable and benevolent societies of that city. In Berkshire, In the vicinity of Ascot Race-course, on some land in high cultivation, the wheat is already out in ear, and generally there Is every appearance of an abundant atop. The apple trees in some places are said to be Infested with what is called the cotton blight, so much as to threaten not only the Iths of fruit, but the trees themselves. This is good news for the far. mer, who is represented to have said that he would rind his trees, if he thought them likely to bear in proportion to last year.._ Exeter Alf red.

Monday, as seine carpenters were taking up an old floor in the drawing-room of Mr. Penis, grocer, Southgate.strect, they di,. covered a concealed treasure of, It is said, 400 guineas, of the coin. age of George the Second. The money, we understand, was fo u nd in two tin eases, in a place which appeared to have once formed cupboard, and where it had no doubt been pat for safety.—Dori Herald. The accounts from the Highlands show to what an extremity th, cold prevailed last week. On Friday, the Caledonian coach dnue upwards of 20 miles of the road betwixt Blair and Invernsa through pre snow ; and some of the higher range of the Grampions sp. !ea red in the same coveting. Many of the trees and mallet plants were severely frosted ; the early potatoes blackened ; and the bop, of the orchardmen destroyed. A serious accident took place with the stage conveyance which runs betwixt Paisley and Johnstone, Wedne sda y night. The car. riage, which was drawn by a blind horse, and driven by a lad who was not accustomed to it, when on its way down the Thorn Brac, at great speed, the hone ran a little to the one side of the road, and the driver, in attempting to bring it to the centre, checked it with the wrong rein, while the velocity at which the carriagewas run. ning overpowe red the horse, and ran it over the foot path (which ie considerably raised above the road,) through the hedge ; and hone. carriage, and passengers, were tumbled down a bank six or eight feet high, by which the horse was killed, the carriage shattered to pieces, and tbe driver and passengers, upwards of twelve in number, were all more or less hurt. We Icarn that the driver has had hi- leg broken. The hopes which were some ago entertained of an abundant crop egress, we are sorry to say sill be only partially realised ; for although on dry sandy uplands the swathe both of grass and clover will be very heavy, yet in low and cold situations it will be quite as light, there not having been a sufficiency of warm weather to temove the chilling effects of the winter floods, and particularly of the last snow storm, which operated as a remarkable check to vegetation. The torrents of rain which fell on Thursday last have tilled the brooks in this vicinity to overflowing, and very many meadows of mowing grass are consequently at this moment under water, with the flood still rising. The effects of this visitation will be sensibly felt by many persons who were on the eve of hay harvest—Gloucester Journal. Monday a genteel and pretty.looking girl, apparently about 17 or 18 years old, threw herself into the river Eden and was drowned. bier name and connections were unknown to the neighbourhood, but she is supposed to have been the victim of seduction. An inquest was held on Monday afternoon, when the jury, in the absence of more explanatory evidence, returned a verdict that the deceased drowned herself ins fit of temporary derangement. A poor woman, named Ryan, the mother of nine children, whilst going through th e pariah of Anakarker, county of Tipperary, on Tuesday last, was taken suddenly ill with the pains of labour. Sit: went into the next house on the watt side, and the woman of the house instantly ran fora midwife. During her absence the poor woman was delivered of a boy, and, soon after the arrival of the midwife. was in succession delivered of three more boys; the first child died from want of prompt attendance, but the remaining three were shies baptised by the parish priest. The four children were uncommonly fine, and the three surviving boys are quite strong and healtby.—Limerick Evening Poet. SIWOVLAR INCIDINT....The workmen, in order to make room in the family vault, at the village of Hartford, for the coMo of Mrs. Wedgies, having had occasion to remove the coals of her brother, the late Rev. Edward Wadeses, into the church-yard, while it lay there, a letter cams by post from the East Indies, addressed to him at Hartford, where he has not resided fee thirty years. Thus it arrived eight or nine years Air his decease, and yet in the interim while be was above ground....Cmabridye Chronicle. The inhabitants of this city (Carlisle) were considerably alarmed on Wednesday evening last, by the circumstance of a man being conveyed, handcuffed, through the streets to the police.ofEce, bleed. bag at the neck, and accompanied by an immense crowd of people. who gave it out that he had cut his wife's throat, and then attempted to cut his own. This report was ascertained to be too correct. It appears that the prisoner, whose name is Joseph Miller, had for some time past treated his wife with great cruelty. About half-past two on Wednesday afternoon, a neighbour of Miller's, named John Gunk, hearing a dreadful sh riek proceed from Miller's house, went to inquire the cause, when be met two women leading out of the house Miller's wife, with her neck dreadfully cut, and bleeding pro. finely. Miller then came out, and ran of towards a plantation. where be was afterwards taken, with his own throat slightly cut, which Currie is positive was not done when lie came out of h:. house. The poor woman was taken to a neighbour's house, and surgical assistance procured, when it was found that there was a frightful wound, an inch and a half in length, on the left side of the neck, and a deep stab near to the jugular vein ; her hand was also 'evenly cut in warding off the deadly weapon. The bleeding from the wounds in the neck was for a long time so profuse as to threaten a fatal termination ; but after much exertion on the part of the surgeon, Mr. Johnson, of Weatherall, the wounds were closed, and these is now some hope of her recovery. The constable of the vii. lege lost no time in conveying the brutal husband to Carlisle, and, after a long inquiry, he was remanded for further examination, in older to procure the evidence of his poor wife. The prisoner is about forty years of age, and has some property ; but he has been unser. tied for some time past, and has squandered away the greatest past of it. He only came from America about six months ago, when he had been residing for upwards of three years. Since that time, we understand, he has often shown symptoms of a disordered mind, and frequently ill-treated his wife. On this occasion be appears to hare been determined to murder her, and but for the nay interference of the neighbours he certainly would have accomplished his bloody purpose. The instrument with which be inflicted the wounds, it is supposed, was a lancet, as there were two in the house, and one of them is missing. It is believed he had it in his hand when he ran from the house, and that he had attempted to cut his own threat with It whilst in the plantation where he was found. Search has been made for the lancet, but it has not yet been found. The latest accounts represent the poor woman as somewhat recovered, though still in great danger.— Carnets Patrice. NAWCASTLZ ELACTIONA COCielt for this town is likely to take pine at the next election. We have not the slighust animosity to the gentleman, Ile. Hodgson, of Elswick House, who has announced himself as the new candidate, but we doubt extremely the prudence of his entering the field against two such able, sensi ble, ;useful, and attentive members, as Sir M. W. Ridley and )Ir. Ellison. Having two such members, we must say we cannot wish him success. We believe he is influenced by no motive but that honourable ambition which ought to actuate every young man of !s -lants like his, and of his station in life ; but he is wrong in itching the honour with such certainty of defeat. The freemen of Newcas tle know well the merits of their representatives. They are well aware of the anxiety of those gentlemen to do every thing to serve their constituents and the interests of the town. Mr. Ellison has sometimes indeed laboured under extreme ill health, which would have probably caused him to retire long ere this, if the attachment of the burgesses, and his desire to do them service, had not kept him in his seat; and as to Sir Matthew White Ridley, it is quits impossible for any who had not been connected as we were for several years wrtr b l Oth Houses of Parliament, to know the as- siduity and industry with which he attends to his public duties, and the universal respect and deference paid to his opinions. His labor and ability upon committees almost daily during the sitting of_Par liament, from one end of the Pension to the other, can hard ly be equalled; and though we must admit that we have found it less neces. sary to censure some of his votes sod remarks, we have not the inclination, on that account, o snipes a person whose charade* and conduct make him one of the met usereted commoners in the kingdom,—Tyne Maestri.
