THEIR MAJESTIES. Wrxrisoa, MAY 20—At a quarter before one o'clock the Royal 3tant , arti was hoisted on the Round Tower, which announced the ar. r *al of her MAJESTY. The Quitzx came in a carriage and four with mitriders, and was accompanied by her Royal Sister, the Duchess of Saxt WEIMAR, who brought with her two of her children. Soon after their arrival the Royal Party inspected the corridor and the whole aite of the splendid State apartments, and also those in the Devil's Tower, which are alteady fitted up for the reception of the Duchess and her family. Her MAJESTY then accompanied her sister over the new ....nice and parterre, and from thence through the orangery and slopes to Adelaide Cottage. On their return they partook of an elegant cella. +ion, and left for London at half past four o'clock. The Qnszu and 9uchess of SAXE WEIMAR visited the Hon. Mrs. Emma, who, we rt happy to say, since her accouchement, is going on well COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen, accompanied by her sister, the Duchess of i'axe Weimar, left the King's Palace, St. James's, about half-past 11 o'clock yesterday morning, in a carriage and f o ur, with outriders, for the Palace at Windsor. Her Majesty and the Duchess returned to town in the evening. The King gave audiences yesterday to Earl Grey, Lord Ponsenbv, the Duke of Richmond, and Lord Holland. The Duchess of Cumberland, accompanied by Prince Goortre, attended the examination of the children of the Clergy Orphan Asylum. in St. John's Wood, yesterday aft trtuNen. Their Royal Hignesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, the Prince of Leiniagen, attended by Lady Catherine Jenkinson, Baroness Lenzen, and Sir John Conroy, returned to the King's Palace, at Kensington, yes terday, from Claremont. The Duchess and Prince George of Cumberland visited the Princess Augusta yesterday. The Ministers of the five great Powers held a conference on the affairs of Belgium yesterday afternoon, at the Foreign (:lice. There were present—the Austrian, French, and Russian Ambassadors, the Prussian Minister, the Austrian Minister (on a special mission), and Viscount Palmerston. Lord Ponsonby had an interview with Viscount Palmer ton yesterday, at the Foreign Office. The Lords of his Majesty's most hon. Privy Council had a meeting yesterday morning, at the Council-office, which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the Lord President of the Council, and the Judge of the Admiralty Court. An appeal from a decision of the Supreme Court of Judi cature at Bombay was argued before their Lordships by Mr. Serjeant Spankie, and other leading counsel. The Lord Chancellor, on the part of their Lordships, adjourned the fur ther hearing of the case soon after four o'clock. The honourable William Bathurst attended as Clerk ofl the Council. The Queen honoured this theatre last night with her presence. Her iiijesty was accompanied by her sister, the Duchess of Saxe Weimar, and occupied the fifth box from the stage, on the first tier. Medea was the opera performed, in which the principal characters were sustained as formerly. After the opera, the ballet of geriiircords was given. Large bills were posted in various parts of the house, announcing that Signor Paganini's concert, which was to take place this evening, has been postponed, and giving a copy of a note hi Italian, addressed by Signor Paganini to M. Laporte, of which the following is a literal translation : Sir,—Finding myself rather indisposed, I beg you will do me the flvour to inform the respectable public that 1 shall not be able to per. form to-morrow evening. " I am, Sir, your bumble servant, " PAGANINI." The plea of " indisposition" for the postponement was generally admitted as a correct one, by those who read this announcement; but it was believed to have originated rather in the undeniable evidence of strong public feeling against his shameful attempt to raise the prices of admission, than in any cause of bad health. The British public would be glad to hear Signor Paganini, and would appreciate his talent at its proper value, which is probably a very high one; but it must not, on that account, be taken for granted that they would submit to any extortionate demand which he or his friends think proper to set on his performance. The East India Company's ship Canning arrived off Plymouth on the 18th instant. She left China on the 6th of January, he Cape of Good Hope the 17th of March, and St. Helena the 31st of the same month. MR. MANNERS SUTTON.—Report says that Mr. Man na. Sutton will certainly be raised to the Peerage, under the tide of Lonl Lexington..—Stansford Bee.—Bus I The moment the proclama tion fur dissolution appeared in the London Gazette, that moment the right honourable gentleman ceased to be Speaker. Ministers have too much cause to bung that, during the last session, his right eye was' oftener dim than was either becoming or satisfactory in the Speaker of the House of Commons. The right honourable gentleman also declared at a political dinner party in the New Palace-yard, that, although con trary to all usage and etiquette, he would have voted against the reform bill, had the casting vote come to him ! These sufficient reasons have, of course, influenced the ministry in their determination to start the member for Staffordshire, who is also son-in.law of the Marquis lesley, as their candidate for the vacant chair. It is said that Lord Jersey would have netted 50,0001. had the Favourite won the Derby. A young Englishman of genteel appearance, named Thomas Percival, who arrived at the Hotel des Etats finis, Passage des Petits Peres, in Paris, on Saturday, from Calais, which he left on the 12th, committed suicide on Sunday by taking poison. A second phial was found on the table, which is supposed to have been provided in case the first dose should not have produced its full effect. More interest was excited at St. James's respecting the result of the Derby than for many years past. The Palace, the Club. houses, and Crock ford's in particular, were surrounded by an anxious fete, who, evidently, from their countenances, felt great interest in the result. At half-past four o'clock the winning horse was known in town ; and it is but justice to add, that the result of the intelligence was wil lingly and cheerfully communicated to all Inquiters, and with a d eeggrreeet of accuracy " worthy a better cause." As regarded the Oaks yesterday, the same facility was gratuitously afforded. Stec WALT ER ScoTv.—lt is with infinite concern that we announce in contradiction of the newspaper statements, that this distinguished writer and excellent man still languishes in a very precarious state. He has had an attack of decided apoplectic tendency. Mr. Lockhart left town for Abbotsford at the beginning of the week, immediately on the eecept of a letter from his lady, containing the alarming intelligence of her illustrious parent's illness. The accounts have been rather more favourable within these few days. Major Scott, we believe, is still in town.—Courtjournat. There is not one word of trails in this state ment. It is quite inconceivable how these fabrications (for they are no better) are so greedily swallowed by the Editors of some of the London newspapers, or what purpose is to be served by the renewal of them, after they have been so frequently contradicted, except to give alarm and annoyance to the worthy Baronet's friends.—B.D. Caledonian Nereury. A ludicrous scene occurred on Thursday, at Epsom : In the line of vehicles of all descriptions which drew up in the vicinity of the grand stand, a stage coach, full Inside and outside, was also amongst the number. A few minutes previously to the starting of the helms for the Derby stakes, a young man, dressed out in the very pink laSilloll, desirous of viewing the race from an emineuce, endeavoured !.. !.!•,t on the roof of the stage, an attempt which was resisted by a `Amer. ; , ntl a fat dame, his wife, who were outside passengers, and who. if the gentleman bad completely succeeded in his attempt, would certainly have been rendered extremely uncomfortable. The intrtnkr. although strongly advised to desist, made the most vigo rous exertions to obtain a footing on the roof, and in the scuffle he struck th e farrier a sharp blow on the nose, whi c h m a de it bleed. The instant his wife saw the purple stream flowing from the pro inment feature of her better half, she went to work in right earnest, at.d• bein g a woman possessed not only of considerable ureng.h but of some share of pugilistic science, she gave her husband's as sailant such a teaser on the side of the lug, while he stood on the hind wheel, making efforts to raise himself still higher, as to stun him for some moments. Enraged at this attack, the young man, re doubled his efibits 10 gain his point, and in the contest between him tad his female assailant, her gown, which was of pink silk, gave way It the t ac k part and under the arms, by which mishap the tattered ;:anneht, nearly separated from her person, floated in the breeze, to treat amusement of the gazers. Nothing daunted, however, by , r accident, she contioaed to "leather away" at the unfortunate !ght, whom she at length succeeded in beating down off the vehi e. The whole of this extraordinary rencounter was witnessed by the Lucius / of Kent and some other members of the Royal Family, whose carriage, were drawn up near the sot, and none appeared to en- Joy the scene more than they did. T he farmer's wife was loudly cheered for the bravery and prowess she displayed on the occasion. and IH " atter havi ng arrange d her dress i n some measure, she was placed in ber lwald's cart, which was near the scene of action, and driven off the eNtsv, but nut until she had enjoyed the race, to view which she had 4 ij t : ) tit sacrifices.

At length a re-action has taken place, and the result of to.day'spol ling has been an increased majority of seven in favour of Lord Milton. The election Is not, however, by any means at an end, for a most important question has been mooted this day by Mr. Cart wright's party, which is to be argued to-morrow. It is, whether the freemen of Northampton are or are not entitled to vote ? It appears there ate about five hundred freemen, and that there are certain extensive tracts of land in which they have • common right, and on which they are each allowed to turn six horned cattle from Ma to February. The question to be decided is, whe ther this privile g e constitutes a freehold for life, and next, whe ther it is of the required value ? Ur. Cartwright's party raised the ques tion by tendering the vote of' a freeman this morning; an embe made to its acceptance, and the right remains to be de by ll* assessor. The decision will be of considerable importance, if glees bl the affirmative, not only to the town of Northampton, but also lomat 1 1 others. Mr. Cartwrigh t 's party, both last night and during Ms if, bare been busily canvassing the freemen ; and this evening the cemao l tee of Lords Althorp and Milton, which is sitting at the Free Pa' 0164 have issued an address to the freemen, calling upon them, is the event of the right being established, to vote for those noblemen. At the close of the poll tonight, the numbers were— Althorp Milton . 2,070 Cartwright . ... l,9k Knightley . Lord Mthorp observed that, by the state of the poll, and by what he bad observed during the day, be was satisfied that the final result now entirely depended on the decisions come to in the assessor's booth. Lord Althorp, Mr. Cartwright, Sir Charles Knightley, and the Hon. lie Wentworth Fitswilliam, then severally returned thanks to the Electors. A circumstance has occurred here, which is almost unknown in poli tical history, and which will have great weight, although it will not operate until the eleventh bour. A paper some days since emanated from the people called Quakers, or " Friends." At all events they have proved themselves to be " the Friends" of reform, but it is seldom that they, individually. and never before, collectively. interfered with a popular election. Numerically speaking, the proportion of the popula tion of this religious persuasion is not great, but their moral influence will have great weight, which will be felt shortly by the anti.reforssers who opposed the Patriot Lords."

Wommenley PhWp Patterson Oray Hater William Stephens." John Thursfield " bth Month, Ibth, 1831." ----- The other day, a shameful expedient which was resorted to here by the anti.reformers, in order to prevent the dissenters from exercising their right of voting. A curious instance of successful recourse to this expedient occurred yesterday. Mr. Barnard Ward, who is admitted on all bands to be a man of the highest respectability, and of consi. derable property, tendered his vote at the hustings. It was objected to, and referred to the assessor, who decided that there was not the slightest ground for the objection. It happens, however, that Mr. Ward belongs to a class of Protestant dissenters who are de nominated " Separatists," and that he has strong scruples against taking an oath. The anti-reform party being made acquainted with this peculiarity in Mr. Ward, tendered him the freeholders' oath, which, as they expected, be refused to take. He offered to affirm that which they desired him to swear to; he offered also to produce the title-deeds of his property; his solicitor and his tenants offered to swear that he was the owner of the property; the assessor decided that his tide to that property, and consequently that his right to vote, were per. fectly good. and many persons of unexceptionable character were ready to identify him as the person whose name appeared in the land-tax mesa ment. All these offers were declined, and the oath was pressed. Mr. Ward absolutely refused to take it, and thus his vote was lost. This is the case which Lord Ahhorp alluded to—and, in addressing the freeholders here it was only necessary to allude to it—for the fact Is as notorious as it is loudly and universally condemned by every respectable man in the town. I do not believe that either Mr. Cartwright or Sir C. Snighdey would sanction euch a proceeding as this ; but Mr. Ward's 1 1 is not a solitary case, and there is surely a just ground of complaint against both the hon. candidates, who retain in their service agents that have adopted, :and that continue to adopt day after day, a course so discreditable to them, and so revolting to all honourable minds. However difficult lt may be to understand the reason of the scruple of Mr. Ward, still conscientious and religious scruples, If not injurious or inconvenient to society, ought to be treated with tenderness and respect ; and there is as little of honesty as of Christian feeling in taking advantage of a man's sense of religious duty for the purpose of depriving him of the exercise of a valuable political right. Such conduct, too, is directly at variance with the policy of our law ; but then that policy was forced upon the bigots who have disgraced themselves by this paltry and pitiful device. The Dean and Chapter of Peterborough, having influence over some tenants of Lord Fitswilliam, have exercised that influence for the pur. pose of making those tenants of the venerable Earl vote against his son Lord Milton. It will surprise no one who is acquainted with the cha ratter of Lord Milton, to hear that his lordship has repudiated the ducal doctrine of Newcastle origin—" May I not do what I please with my own "—and that he has assured these priest-directed tenants of his father that they should not be molested in consequence of their hay. ing given their votes against him. The parsons of this county have, as in most other counties, almost to a man, voted for the anti-reform candidates, which they had doubtless a righ t an to do if they pleased ; but what can have induced the and Chapter of Peterborough to go out of their way, and exercise this in fluence over the tenants of Lord Fitswillhun, which they certainly bad no right at all to exercise ? They must be blind indeed to their own temporal interests, if they suppose that they can derive any advantage from giving so striking a groucd of suspicion, in addition to the many others which have unfortunately occurred of late, that the clergy con sider their interests to be not only separate and distinct from, but dia metrically opposed to, the interests of the people ; of the people by whose hard-earned money they are supported, and upon whose attach. ment and regard they can alone rely with security for the continuance of that support. Lord Clarendon more than a century ago observed, that "clergymen understand the least, and take the worst measure of human affairs, of all men who can read and write ;" and nothing but an irrestible conviction, both that the fact was so, and that It was not possible to conceal it, could have wrung so bitter, but so just a reflection from this high-church, this prerogative-adoring, and this people.hating historian. It may be the misfortune, not the fault of our clergy, that they have not improved in this res pect singe Lord Clarendon's time. But Peterborough is near enough to, and sufficiently connected with, Cambridge, to have been contaminated by the recent example which has been set by that Univer sity in its own return of members to represent it in the next Parliament. Ai a contrast to the behaviour of these churchmen, I must not forget to mention that a small 'freeholder, disdaining to be conveyed to the poll at the expense of the candidates and being a man of very limited means, actually walked all the way f rom Manchester to vote for Lords Altherp and Milton. If there be many Inch freeholders as this man, all the Deans and Chapters in the kingdom will exert their inli.tence against the people, and the people's cause, in rain : and the Charlea street conspirators whom they will follow in political nomenclature—the Cato-street conspirators.

The desperadoes of the faction kee l ? the Dublin poll open for the sake of the whiskey and porter it enables them to swill. It is not con. ceoled by the Tory candidates, that it is not their wish to continue the vain and silly struggle longer; but they say they are pledged not to surrender while a man is to be polled. What ineffable absurdity, to adhere to a pledge that only exhibits folly or 'produces mischief ! At live o'clock, ou the eleventh day, the assembly was ably addressed by Mr. T. F.

Having been beaten in almost all the fair battles, the Tories, as a dying effort, have resolved to resort to stratagem. We said yesterday that in consequence of an arrangement amonpt the reformers, Mr. Side' would come in for Louth without opposition. We spoke thus, because M'Clintock had retired, and all amongst his faction appeared as still and motionless as the inhabitant of the tomb. It appears now, that some cunning little Isaac of the name of Fortescue, had been engaged in secret preparations in Dublin, and that he departed on Tuesday night with his satchel' of poll books, and a trusty friend or two, to try how fin he could, by a sort of coup remain, succeed in possessing himself of the trust surrendered in despair by the only man of his party who could be said to have the slightest pretensions to it. Of course, every rational being acquainted with Louth, lough , at the ridiculous emeriti ise. It may, havens, keep up a three digs' kiita. jinn in a peaceable cot my—and for an effect of titis.kind, it seems the Tories have brou g ht their loyalty to believe that no risk or sacrifice is too formidable.--./Iforning Register. One of the Clare magistrates has been removed from the commission of the peace. He rendered himself very unpopular some time since, by committing persons on charges of ferry. Ali practices, who were generally supposed to be entirely unconnected with such proceedings. He was pressed to take bail for these persons, but continued to resist until the election came on, wi cn he went to the gaol, and libersttd the entire party, for the purpose, as is alleged, of allowing th em to vote for O'Gorman Mahon. A representation of the transaction ssu forwarded to the goverment, geld the result was the erasure of his tame from the list of magistrates.—/bid. " This borough has been alternately in the nominction of the Duke of Devonshire and Earl Bandon, but the corporation returned Viseovot Bernard on .he present occasion, in opposition to the Duke of Devon shire's nominee, who was a reformer, and in eeflance of the compact between those noblemen; of course Lord Bernard will resign his seat.. t We should presume that Vesey Fitzgerald is a reformer, but his sentiments on the question arc not, we believe, yet made public. Ilia political Jews hitherto entitle us, while in doubt, to class him es a supporter of the popular interests. SCOTTISH ELECTIONS. Mr. Hope Johnstone bas been again returned for Dumfries-shire, Mr. Maule for Forfarshire. The Wigtonshire election eras terminated in fa vour of Sir A. A gr.ew by one vote ; MeCutlar Ft.rguson's seat for Kirk. endbright is also to be undisturbed. .411 these are in favour of reform. Our fears are stronger than our hopes for Ayrshire ; this guy's post will pro. bahly enable us to state the result in our second edition. The conduct of an miner's legal fitt , ctimary engaged in it seems to us to require separate notice. It world appear, from what rested at the Dumfries county elec tion, that Mr. henis Douglas PUN the reform bill with rather siiffenn• eyes now to C.as he did in the house of Commons. The contest be tweets hint and General Sharp for the Dumfries-shire Loroughs is very close, two and two, and the field of battle is at Lochnsaben. If we may trust so appearance, tel will gain, whoever wins; but it is perhaps not very safe to trust to" death.bed repentance.," of which the present is very pnbably only another instance. Dumbanon election went on Monday in favour of the eremy of re fonts. The Charm, Free Press says, 28 freeholders voted for Lord W. M. Graham, and 23 for Mr. J. W. Colquhoun ; majority, 6. The election of a Member of Parliament for the county of Linlithgow took place at Linlithgow on Tuesday, when Sir Alexander Hope was re-elected without opposition. Anzaeorstio, 17TR.—The candidates for this county are Sir Michael Bruce of Scotstown, a staunch reformer. and the Hon. Captain Gordon, brother to the Earl of Aberdeen, a most decided anti-refortner. There remains little doubt bow the election will go; the majority who voted at the county meeting against the reform nieestre, will undoubtedly support Captain Go rdo n. The supporters of both candidates intended to Wile together after the election, but Captain Gordon, in order to preserve the peace of the town, has recalled his invitations. The du appointment caused by this announcement of the gallant Captain is quite wonderful. I should suppose it very mach resembles the OSITOV/ of Lhe citizens of London, when the King's visit. and consequently the dinner, was put of/ Great interest Is excited by the election. 1 THE CHURCH.
