CORFU, MAY The English Consul-General at Constantinople left this place on the 12th, on which day he had arrived from Ancona, and went, on board the lonian steam boat to Zante. It is supposed that this vessel carries dispatches for Count Capo dibble, to acquaint him with the proclamation by which the lonian Government declares that it will not acknowledge the blockade of the coast of Prevesa. This morning, at daybreak, the English ship of the line the Asia appeared off this island. It had sailed from Naples six days before.— Admiral Malcolm, who was on board, came on shore in a boat, and proceeded to the palace of the Lord High .Commissioner, where he now is, while the Asia still remains under sail. It seems that this vessel will depart again immediately. Mr. Gordon is not on board. PARIS, Jaws 9. The Courrier de Soria: of the 26th of April says, that according to a letter written from Napoli di Ro mania, dated the 20th March, Colonel Scarnhorst, son of the Prussian General of • that name, bad arrived at Napoli.

PARIS, Junta a. We have a letter from Bestirs of the Slst of May, which says—" The Magistrates have jest had two Neapolitan Officers arrested, who are said to have been implicated in the political events in 1820, and whom our Ministry has consented to give up; 10,000 francs have been the reward of the capture of these unfortunate individuals. Will they depart? This is what every bedy anxiously asks. A Neapolitan brig of war anchored in our port yesterday morning. The Captain has orders to take prisoners oa board, whom an ignominious death awaits in their own country. In order to delay their departure, if possible, one of their creditors has had them arrested. Other writs will be taken out against them, if the Commander should take upon himself to pay the debt of 4,000 francs for which they are arrested. Several et editors have agreed to exercise their rights in succession, in order to give time for the Ministry to re• ceive the applications which are made to them in favour of these unfortunate foreigners."

His Lordship inquired of Mr. Adieu, the Counsel for the claimant, how he could get over the fact of the entry of the baptism of Ellen Leißh;in 1658. Chtistopher Leigh wail born in 1626. Now, it was in evidence that Roger Leigh, of Haigh, had children born in 1658, only thirty-three years after the birth of Christopher. It was, therefore, impossible for Roger to be-the grandson of Christopher, unless they could prove that two generations had passed away in the space of thirty-three years In his opinion this fact was decisive of the case. Mr. ADAMS was taken by surprise. He hoped their Lordships would allow him time to endeavour to get over the difficulty. The Cowpox SEROCANT objected to further delay. ' The documents had always been open to inspection, and those who instructed his Learned Friend ought to have known this fact. Mr. ADAMS had understood this document had only been discovered within the last few days. After some (muter discussion. The COMMOII SIROCAST said he should occupy about half an hear in addressing their Lordships, during which time Mr. Adams might examine the documents. Mr. ADAMS declined- that as utterly impossible : the documents were too voluminous to examine in a much longer time than that. Lord ELDos said Mr. Adams's client ought to have produced the document hiniself.if he expected any benefit from it. Mr. ADAMS still pressed for farther time. Lord &Don said it was the duty of the Learned Counsel to apply for time, but it might not be the duty of the House to grant it. • Mr. ADAMS here requested permission to retire for a few minutes, and on his return stated that he was not in a situation to carry the case any farther. Lord &tamest/m(tlle Chairman of the Committee) then pot the question that the claimant bad failed in substantiating his claim, which was immediately car ried new di.. The LOAD CHAWCALLOR observed, that Mr. Banks, of the Enrolment Of Ireland, had written a letter, stating that he had in his possession a document that would at once prove fatal to the claimant's claim. T - RZ lERICZLItY PlitgACIL Mr. FOVILAYQUE resumed his argument in this case to-day. He iotimated that the case of Baron Rowslief would be cited against him by his opponents, for that claim, like the present, was founded on tenure; but he would remind their Lordships that the case of Baron Fitawalter was decided before a Privy Council, and not in their Lordtbips House, and the rejection of a claim founded on tenure by that Court should not influence their Lordships decision in this case. The statute of Charles 11. which abolished feudal services, made a ✓special reservation of feudal honours, aid he would ask' their Lordships what was meant by feudal honours, finless it was a seat in their Lordships House by virtue of the tenure of a barony ? Was it not by virtue of such a tenure that the Bishops sat in that House? The Learned Counsel here cited a passage from the third Institute, front which' it appeared that the Bishops were not formerly triable by Peers, but by freeholders, because they did not hold their seats ratione set propter baronias fres teuent jure eccksia t; and, to support the analogy, he recited the case of Thomas de Berkeley, who was tried by a Jury of Commoners, on a charge of assysting in the murder of Edward 11. though he had a seat in their Lordships' House at the time ; the reason why he was not tried by his Peers being, that he held his seat in virtue of his barony, and not of a writ. He hoped their Lordships would not be influenced isr their decision by any inconvenience that might arise, from admitting the principle, as they migt.t guard against any abuse of it is future by legislation. The Learned Counsel having concluded his address, the further consideration of the case was adjourned to the nest Session. Lord WTIIIOII took the oaths and his seat as Baron Wynford, of Wysford, in the canny of Dorset. Ills Lordship was intro. dead by Lord Tenterden and Lord Brantley. Lords HAMS and VERNON took the oaths and their seats. The Housethen resolved Itself into a Committee on Tbornslyle's Divorce Bill, and their Lordships were occupied until near six o'clock in the examination of Captain Chichester and several other witnesses; after which, The Earl of CARLISLE presented a Petition from the Cor poration of Cutlers of a parish near Shelleld, praying that Govern ment would take into consideration the policy of granting a re newal of the East India Company's Charter. The Earl of DIA LMESBURY presented a Petition from Red rut Is against the duty on coals carried coastwise. SHIPPING INTERMIT. Lord GODERICH rose to move for certain papers connected with the state of the shipping and navigation of the United Kingdom. His object in moving for them was to show that the reciprocity treaties had not, 'as some persons imagined, the effect of injuring the shipping interest of this country. It was his firm opi nion now, as it had been at the time when those treaties were entered into, that the result was beneficial, and not detrimental, as some contended, to the great corn, mercial interests of this empire. The first paper, there. fore, that he should move for was an account of the number of vessels, and the amount of their tonnage, built and registered in the several ports of the British empire, from the yeas 1814 to 1824 inclusive. It was his wish to have this retuio laid upon their Lordships' table, because he conceived that the building of sitips had considerably increased, and not, as was contended, diminished. The next was a return of the total num ber of vessels belonging to the several ports of the Bri tith empire, with the amount of their tonnage, and the number of men and boys employed in them, engaged in navigation between the years 1814 and 1824, men- tioning whether the numbers had been affected by any Act passed during that period for the regulation of the registry of British ships. This •he thouet necessary by. reason of the number of vessels which might have been destroyed • or lost in the course of those years. .The nest paper for which' be bad to move related to the number of ships entered inwards and outwards to and from all foreign parts during the same period. distinguishing foreign from British ships. He moved for this return because he thought he could show a remarkable increase in the number of British ships, and, on the codtrary, a comparative diminution in the number of foreign vessels since the system to which he had alluded was established in this kingdom. His next was for a similar account, exclusive of those employed in the trade between Great Britain and Ire land. The next return he should move for was a state went of the general shipping engaged in the United Kingdom from the year 1821 to 1828; and in subunit •ting this motion to their Lordships, he was confident that the result would be to prove that the changes made IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. JUNR 11. COMMITTIR OF FILIVILIOSS. The House sat this morning in a Committee of Pri vileges, for the purpose of bearing further arguments on the claims for the Leigh and Berkeley peerages. Previous to either of these cases being called on their Lordships gave judgment in the claim preferred by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland to vote at the elections of Irish reprerentative Peers as Earl of Ar magh. His Royal Highness having produced the patent conferring upon him that Earldom. the Com mittee resolved that his Royal Highness had made out his claim, and that he be entitled to vote accordingly. LORD SANDFORD'S CLAIM. This Noble Lord having also preferred a claim to a similar privilege, and Sir William Betham, herald king at arms, having produced a copy of hi s Lordship's pa tent, Lord Hartland WAS examined. His Lordship de posed that he was nearly related to the first Lord Sand ford, who died without issue, having intermarried with a Min Oliver. He bad two brothers ; the elder was a Clergyman, who married, but who also died without issue. The third Lord died unmarried, and the claimant, who was his next brother, succeeded to the title and estates. The Committee decided this the claim was substan tiated. TUE LEIGH PRESAGE. This ease was then called on. The Clerk of the House read a petition from the claimant, praying their Lordships to postpone the farther consideration of his claim till the nest Session of Parliament, as in the in terval he should be able to procure additional evidence. The Rev. C. E. Carle, assistant Minister of St. Mary's. Warwick, was called, and examined by the Common SZIORANT. This witness produced the registry of the marriage of Sir Christopher Leigh on 15th October, 1670; also of the baptism of his son Thomas on the 26th of June, 1672, the issue of that marriage. The curate of the parish of Wigan produced sundry certificates of the births, deaths, and marriages of se veral individuals of the Leigh family. After the production of more evidence of • a similar nature, the Common SzaosAge proposed to produce Dugdale's 16 History of Warwickshire," to prove that no such monument as the one so often referred to in this case wai in Stoneleigh church at the period in question. The Loan CZANCIILLOIt was of opinion that such PRICE SEVENPENCE• in the shipping department by the kite 51u!erntnesit • were not made merely for the sake of chatige. . The Earl of HARROWBY suggested 'that all the returns should commence from the year:lBl4. The Duke of WELLINGTON saw no. objection to the production of those returns. He thought the coon. try would feel sensibly grateful to the Noble Lord who had moved for them. It was not surprising that the country should be much interested in the question, and he was sure the result of the proposed inquiry would be such as the Noble Lord anticipated. The motion was the; agreed to. 00301217[11 or IMUVILIOSIII The Committee reported that the Duke of Cumberland had made good his claim to vote fur the Irish Representative Peers, as End of Armagh. Lord BERICSFORD moved that the Standing Orders Nos. 24 and 125 should be taken into consideration on Monday net. Their Lordships adjourned at half past sir o'clock. THE FIVE NIG - 1113 OF Si. ALBANS. The lovers of the mysterious, the appalling, and the supernatural, have a great treat prepared for them in this extraordinary production, which comprehends a succession of wonders that could have • procee.'ed only from en invention of the most inexhaustible character. The work, as the preface observes, 41 is one 'of pure fiction; founded upon no tradition—derived born no legend; but altogether a creation of the imagination. In estimating, therefore, its pretensions, they cahoot very easily be adjusted by any recognised standard. The question is, not whether such things ever did take plice, but whether, conceding at the outset the thing to be accomplished, the means employed have a cor responding congruity? He would be a sorry reader of I The Rape of the Lock.' who should pause to a k himself whether there ever were such things as sylphs or gnomes; or of the Midsummer Nights D tam,' who should display his critical sagacity by demonstrat ing the fabulous existence of Titania, Oberon, and Ro bin Goodfellow." In furtherance of the Author's argument, we may observe, that "The Five Nights of St. Alban's" is a tale of the Sixteenth Century—of a period when the disco• veries of science had not dissolved the visions of fancy. We recollect having been much amused, five or six years ago, at the Royal Institution, when Campbell, in one of his elegantand admirable lectures, expostulated with the " hard-hearted" philosophers of the present day, for having explained every extraordinary appearance in nature, and for having thereby deprived the Poet of his most available materials. For such hard-hearted phi losophers it is evident that " The Five Nights of St. Alban's" has not been written. A grave matter offact man may. like the good Bishop who criticised " Gal liver's Travels," say that he does net believe the story to be true. - But it is mach more interesting than many stories that are true. Nay, in one sense of the expres sion, it is true. There is a truth of imagination, as well as a truth of reason. Once admit the possibility of un earthly agency, and then the occurrence-, marvelloni as they are, which are related in 41 The Five Nights of St. Alban's," become perfectly credible ; and readers, who peruse the work with thisqualification, besidestrie entertainment which they will derive from the nice discriminations of character, and sagacious reflections on huitan life by which it is pervaded, will be kept in a state of suspense, with ie,gard to its catastrophe, so awful that it would be oppressive, were it not for the knowledge that by perseverance it may be terminated. It is difficult to separate any of the incidents from the main story, without disadvanorge, but we extract the following description of a scene of midnight incantation, as a specimen of the power of the author's styie : " The bell had ceased tolling, but its deafening alarum still echoed through the Abbey in crashing peals, whose mingling tones, at times, resembled the howling, screaming, and yelling of every savage ani mal that ranges the forest or the desert. At others, low, mournful,' melancholy sounds were heard; soft la mentations, gentle wailiogs, and stifled groans, as if all the miserable varieties of human suffering were there gathered together. Then voices struck upon the ear— some blaspheming—some uttering exclamations of de spair—some praying—some beseeching —some, in an guish, crying aloud, pardon ! pardon ! With these were blended, ever and anon, shouts of laughter, which seemed to burst, in horrid vollies, from infernal throats. One of these shouts—a loud and lengthened. one—was heard to follow a dismal shriek, as from a living crea ture in more than mortal agony : and then, for a mo ment, all was hushed, and still as death. "They here in utter darkness—darkness so prof und, that though each one touched the other, to have &min i 1 guished form or feature were as impossible as though divided by the space of a thousand miles. But dreadful were the visions that thronged about them. Above, be low, around, the world of shadows presented itself. On the sable pall of gelid air that encompassed them, what hideous phantoms grew, es it were. and straight vanish ed. to make room for others still more hideous! Hover. ing over them grim Death appeared, clutching in his bony hand the fatal arrow that never flies but once to its mark—'tis held in threatening poise—while the fell monarch seems to glare from.his eyeless sockets, with conscious triumph, at his peey ! . " Death's terrific revels burst on the sight in every shape—hom new born it fancy, that dies in the very portals of life, to calm expiring age. There writhes the murdered traveller—his crammed bags rifled of their tempting store. There gapes the gory throat of the butchered father, whose caitiff son, impatient to, be rich, had held the knife. There hangs the felon, strangled by the award of justice—his straining eyes bursting from their spheres, and his livid features swollen with o'circharged blood. There the incest-engendered babe, whose guilty dam, frantic with shame at her unnatural lust, had smothered it in the dark, not daring to look upon her foul butchers; and there the violated virgin, the imprecations upon her ravisher still warm upon her lips, as they were arrested there by the_ stroke that pierced her heart! 0 These vanish, and legions of grisly phantoms take their place ; things without form or name, but horrible, most horrible, to the eye. Floating on the murky va.: pour, they pass and repass, till o l erwrouglit terror rises to agony. Sometimes they almost seem to fan you with their enormous wings—at others to shed blistering venom down ; and then—cataracts of fire, as it were, spout from hissing serpents, which twine and coil round lthem. Reptiles of all loathsome kinds—the adder and the blind worm—gthe speckled toad, and the huge *wed spider—the fierce scorpion, and the gilded slake, whirl and eddy about; and so close withal, that the Sub ali their bosses shrinks from the dreaded coa fwet r . . • 1* W Ibe Mid 4.
