Important despatches have been received at the reign -office, from Vienna: after a Cabinet Council was immediately assembled, which sat in delibera tion two hours. It is supposed that the despatches contained intelligence of importance, as a foreign messenger was sent off to the Continent after the council broke up. The next information front Lord Strangford. the British ambassador at Constantino ple, will probably bring something decisive respect ing the negociations between Russia and the l'orte. In the western part of the county of Monmouth, the refractory workmen have been increased in num ber by some thousands from the Rock, Tredegar, Sirhotvcy, and Pont-y-pool works. The Scotch Greys have remained at Abergavenny, and the knowledge that the county cavalry are on the alert, and that application has been made for sense infan try, deters from actual violence; but this state of things, it is feared, cannot last. In the day-time, the men spread themselves through the county, and solicit charity, with which they support their fami lies; in the evening they blacken their faces, as.sem • Me on the hills, and use the mast horrible threats to deter those who think half a loaf better than no bread, front working under the regular prices. NEW CHURCH, CANIBERWELL --Tuestay was appointed for the ceremony of laying the first stone of the new church, to be erected at Camberwell, which was laid by the Lord Bishop of Winchester. The members composing the procession assembled at the Grove-house, at half-pact ten, and after there receiving his Lordship, proceeded to the ground.— The arrival of the Bishop on the ground was an• flounced by a discharge of cannon, and the St. icorge's ensign was hoisted at the north-east angle. When the Bishop, Clergy, and Committee ascended the plattimn, the children sang the 100th Psalm, accompanied by the band. A suitable prayer and address were then. offered, and after the stone was laid the band played the national anthem of " God save the King," and the precession returned to the Greve-house in their original order. Mr. Sergeant Hullock is shortly to become Soli citor-General in the room of Sir J. Copley, who will be made Attorney General; and Sir It. Gifthrd will be elevated to the Bench, in the place of Baron Wood, who retires. A silk gown has been offered to Mr. Brougham, on the ground of his having been Attorney-General to her late Majesty, but that he has declined accepting it unless a similar compliment is paid to Mr. Denman. FRANIKFORT, Arnie 15.—We have this moment received the news that the Porte has placed under embargo all Turkish vessels in the Channel, and in the ports of the Black Sea. The object of this mea sure is to secure a sufficient number of sailors to man the Ottoman fleet destined for the Black Sea.

A Dublin Paper states ) that Mr. O'Connell has received a letter from the Rt. Hon. W. C. Plunkett, anaouncin,, ,, his determination not to bring forward the Catholic question this year. Sir William Congreve's new stamp on the coun try bank notes, which were put forth as inimitable, have scarcely been sent into circulation, but it is flaind, as was previously proved by Messrs. Perkins and Co., they may be imitated with the greatest ease; :tad a forgery has already been committed on the Blackburn bank by various parties, who have severally been apprehended and committed to Lan caster Castle for trial. Letters from Petersburgh, dated the Ist instant, have been received. The exchange has slightly risen, being quoted at 9 21-32, aind the 6 per cent. is perfectly steady at 102, both which are tolerably sure indications of the public opinion in favour of r wee. Extract of a letter received at Lloyd's from Kin sale, dated April 22.—" It becomes our duty to c nvey to you the melancholy intelligence of the total loss of the ship Albion off the Old Head.— This morning, having carried away her masts, she was driven on a ridge of rocks, and went to pieces. liv great exertions some of the crew and one pas senger were taken off a part of her deck that was driven under a high cliff We lament to say, that 21 passengers, among whom were seven ladies, to gether with Captain Williams, and the rest of the crew, perished ; a few trunks belonging to some of toe passengers were saved. The writer, who has just returned from the spot, has made arrangements to have the bodies buried." A gentleman will feel obliged if the Editor of The National Register will inform him if the De Brodum, M.D. that was presented to his Ma jesty at the last levee, and who had the honour of kissing the King's hand, and presenting an Essay on Coughs and Declines, is the Jew Quack Docter Brodum, who formerly advertised a nostrum THE NATIONAL REGISTER IRELAND. It is melancholy to read of the state of the Irish peasantry in the papers recceived yesterday, from which we make the following afflicting extract : STATE or THE Pooa.—The provincial papers of the South and West are loaded with the most melancholy details, not only of the distress and star vation of the poor in several counties of Munster and Connaught, but also of the state of destitution to which the landlords are reduced. It is stated from unquestionable authority, that seven persons died last week in the neighbourhood of Killydesart, from actual want. The streets of Ennis arc lined with, labourers and tradespeople, who stand leaning against the housea, their arms folded, and despair in thzir countenances. In con versing with some of them, they tell me they have from one to six acres of land, with a cabin, but their potatoes having failed they have neither present food nor-seed fur the next season; they have left their land waste, and have, with their families, become wanderers through the country. In truth it can no longer be concealed—even if there was any good reason for doing so—that, what with the failure of the-last potatoc crop, the total want of employment throughout the country, and the low prices of e-ery description of agricultural produce, not only 'axone class threatened with an ab solute want of thud, but the other has before it the the prospect of an entire abstraction of rents, and the consequent inability on their part either to relieve the suffering of the poor, or to contribute to the' payment' of the revenue. The trial of Robert Cussen, for breaking into tho house of John Shelton, Esq. of Rossmore, in this county,- at the head of a band of insurgents (of which he was leader), has excited considerable attention. He was found guilty, chiefly on the evidence of two young ladies, the daughters of Mr. John Shelton, who, however, gave thwridetice with every anxiety to be merciful, and through whose intercession his case is likely to be mercifully considered.—The prisoner was above the -condition of a pk.aisant.—Lionerick Chronicle. DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN BUDGE-ROW.-011 Thurs day morning at five o'clock two houses tit Bodae-row, Cannon-street; the lower part of which, occup.ed by Mr. Pairjk a carpenter. as a shop, and the upper part let, fell with a dreadful crash, and buried all the mutates who were in bed in the ruins. Mr. Parry who was no, and ssanding.at the shop window dressing himself, was the only person who escaped, and he was thrown out at the window. Mr. Bowles, a merchant, and his wife,' occupied the first fluor; Mr. Nichols the second, and two maiden ladies, sisters, of the names of Osbauleston die third. An alarm was immediately raised, and the neighbourhood were roused. The constables• of the night and die watchmen procured assistance; several labourers and carpenters were employed in propping tip the adjoining houses, and putlogs were placed across the ►•raet to the opposite house ; the street was barricadoed at each end, and the labourers began to clear away the ruins. 'the two Miss Osbaldestons were dug out about *ix o'clock, dreadfully muula ed and nearly suffocated, and carried to St. Tillllll4S'S hospital, with little hope of recovery; Mr. Nichols escaped with little injury. • Mr. and Mrs. Bowles were dug out about iatlf-past six; they were Mond iii bed nearly suffocated from the rubbish, but screened by a large beam and part of the flooring.— A U11)40311 was on the spot ) who had mein carried to the Crowil.taverii, Bow-lace, where they were put to bed, and their wounds dressed; on inquiry we find that there are but faint hopes of their recovery. A young woman who was on a visit to Mr. Bowles, and a child of his. still remained buried in the ruins at twelve o'clock, and from the appearance of the ruins, there cannot remain a doubt but they are dead.. The workmen cootinued their labours during the evening, and the distress of the rela tives and friends of the sufferers was iiidevcribable.— On Friday night, at seven o'clock, au illyli6llolll was taken at the Three Cranes taveru, Watling-street, before 'l'. Shelton, Esq. Coroner for London, on the bcdies of Charles Bowles, six years old, and Elizabeth Bowles. his aunt, aged 26, who we►e buried in the rubbili, and killed by the falling of the above houses.—Mr. William Perry, tarpenter,.Mr. James Boucher, bricklayer, Bosh lane, employed on them, K. Kipps, a journeyman brick. layer, who assisted in cutting away part of the party wall in the cellar, and Mi. Bowles, the brother of the womau. and the boy's uncle, and Mu, Biwles, gave etidetice respecting the state of the houses and the can.•e of the accident.—The Coroner said, the surveyor of the district should examine all houses in a dilapidated state.—The Jury were satisfied it was the removal of the chimneys in the party wall occasioned the accident, and a verdict- of Accidental. Death, caused by the want of nue precaution in the repairing of the pasty wall, was returned.—A vote of thanks was then passed to the litadle of the Ward, for his exertions iii removing the rubbish, extri cating the sufferers, mid afterwards attending to their comforts.

This morning a considerable crowd of persons atteoil. tl at the CuTat, as it was anticipated that a motto's n Quid lie made relating to " the unknown mail." who la,t night refused to plead at the Old Bailey. The motion, how ever, was postponed to a future day. FREEMAN •ND OTHAMS N. THE HOW. LAST INDIA COMPANY. _ An application was !Dade this day by the Solicitor- General, to have the verdict set aside and a new tit•sl granted, on the ground that the negligence of the Capt•i.a and crew of the Cerberus, the vessel of which the plaint tis were ase owners, had caused her to ruu foul of the %W i ll Mary. 'llle plaintiffs were underwriters, and the defendant , ' he had no occasion to describe. lie contended that ha I it not been for neglect on the part of the crew of the Cerberso, no accident unowld have happened. Mr. Gaselee, for the plailitstr4, contended that every thing which experience and ►kill could do, bad Lite,' exerted. Ols this the Lord Chief Justice concurred, and—Rul: refused with costs. OLD BAILEY.—(YesTERDAY) -•••111111... The Jnry were in wining This morning for a consid derable period, in consequence of the Alderman schist: turn it was to preside nut making his appearance. At length Air. Alderman Minimum, although labunrin4 nailer much indisposition, attended ior him. 'Thomas Clements, aged 16, was iiitlicted for steal i tg a silver watch, &o. the property of Mary Ivory, in toe house of Prince Esterhazy. Thomas Walton, one of the Prince's domestics. sew the prisoner in his Highness's house, Curzon-stre,d, Cavendish...square. Soon after he went out, he 1111:;:- a silk handkerchief of his, he pursued, overtook, an I brottlht him back to the hall, and oil searching him, tie found the handkerchief un his person, wifich witness identified as his property. Mary Ivory also lived in the family of Prince Ecier hazy; witness left her watch in the hall on the Lilt if February; saw Whales the officer search the prisoner. and knew the watch taken front him to be hers. John Whales, the officer, corroborated the evidence of the former witness. The prisoner made no defence, and the Jury returne I a verdict of Guilty. Mary Young waeindicted for stealing a piece of lawn, the property of Win. Haynes. 'flse case was Bally made out against the prisoner, (a respectable young woman,) and, under the direction tif the Judge, the Jury found a verdict of guilty. She was removed. fro:n the bar in the arms of the turnkeys. The Judges enquired whether any person knew her, when Mr. Browne, the late Governor, stepped forw,r 1, and said that she had conducttd herself iu a roost co em platy manner. The Judge observed4hat• she should be leniently de.i:t by, as it was probably her first offence. Henry %Vitae, a genteel youth, was placed at the bar„ charged with stealing two shirts, the property of Hoz:a Nlthier, and a silver spoon, the property of Crow., Pizetsa. At the commencement of the examination the tri for. innate youth felt backwards with considerable violence, . and animation was for some time •siispemied. Leery effort was used to restore him, but iii vain, and he waf carried out of Court in a state of insensibility. A man of the name of Marley, was convicted and sentenced to he hanged at the last Mayo assizes, :or stealing a mare, btu has since belt respited.
