THE NATIONAL REGISTER• L cotton. MONDAY, MAY 14. ~..-.. Paris journals of Wednesday arrived on Satur. day morning. The French tunas continue to ad vance progressively. The renter on Tuesday reached to 63 francs, 70 cents ; but sustained a depression towards the close of 25 cents. The abdication of Victor Emmanuel, and the accession of his brother Charles Felix to the throne of Sardinia have been formally announced by an act given at Nice on the 9th of last month. The parties concerned in The John Bull Sunday newspaper had, some time ago, a prosecution insti tuted against them fir a villanous libel on the late Lady Charlotte Wrottesley, the deceased wife of Sir John Wrottesley, the daughter of the Earl of Tankerville, and consequently the sister of the Hon. Henry Grey Bennett—they have this week had un opportunity of exhibiting one of the most complete scenes of falsehood and prevarication at the Bar of the House of Commons that can be conceived, hav ing been called there for a breach of privilege, com mitted by gross reflection on the conduct of the Hon. H. G. Bennett. That his patriotism and indefatigability in the discovery and exposure of the corruptions of Government should have called him into the notice of so infamous a publication, does riot surprie us, but that men eculd be ftioni. con.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER wetted with even the worst part of the public press, equal to so long and sts degrading a tissue of un- truths and i ?, does indeed astonish us. By our Parliamentary report it will be seen that on Friday night the soi-disani proprietor and the editor were committed to Newgate, while those who deserved punishment much more, were allowed to escape. It is publicly reported and generally be lieved that a member of the House, a person hold ing a high official situation, was in point of fact the author of the censurable paragraph. In the House of Lords the Bill for the disfran chisement of Grampound, and for conferring the elective privilege upon Leeds, has been read a second time, but under the declared and decided determin ation of Lords Lldon and Westmorland (two of the Cabinet Ministers) that they would oppose it here after. This is not surprising—they think, no doubt, that the borough system works well, and would probably prefer an increase of it, to its dimi nution. Their efforts to stifle the general call for a Reform may succeed, but it will be an ephemeral success—Reform must come—Reform will come, or, if it be resisted too long, an alternative may be adopted which we hardly dare think of. A further arrival of New York papers to the 15th ult. took place on Wednesday. Intelligence of the 7th January had been received Irma the cilpital of Ncw Granada, stating that the province of Cuenta had proclaimed its independence, and appointed a supreme junta ; and that, in consequence of the expedition sent by Guayaquil against Quito (al though its first object, us we stated some time ago, was frustrated), the districts of Ambato, Risbatnba, Quarnda, and Tocungit, had likewise declared themselves indepeadent. Information had also ar rived, by way of Curi:coa, of the accession of Rio de la Huehe to the public of Columbia. Details of some interest have been received at New York, relating to the progress made by the missionaries sent from the United States to the Sandwich islands. It appears that by the death of King Fa mabamaha, which occurred early in 18.'20, a general revolution has taken place in those islands. The priesthood has been abolished, the idols burnt, and the Moreeahs destroyed, and the labours of the mis sion prove in all of them effective. Its members ate much cherished by the inhabitants, and supported in some instances at the public expense. Schools were erecting, and the study of the English language rapidly advancing. Among the pupils are the King and Queen Atooi, who Inoue addressed the fol lowing letters, dictated by themselves, to the friends of the missionaries in America : TAMOREE, XING OF ATOOI, TO TUE REV. DR. WORCESTER. " Ansa, July vs, Is2o. "My dear Friend,—l wish to write a few lints to you, to thank you fur the good book you was so kind gl4 to send my son.

The revenue of the two schools of Rishworth and Dewslaity, in Yorkshire has, by the recent Jecision in the Court of Cluincery, Len increased fctnn 5001. to S,obol. 39 Tut Costosartom.—On this subject numerous reports nre circulated, and it appears certain that there are serious intentions of celebrating it during the ensuing summer. It is whispered, however, that her Nlajesty has embarr.lssed Ministers, by re quiring that a proper situation should be provided ter herself and suite to witness the ceremony.— A negociation is said to have been set on foot, for some time, to obviate this difficulty, but that her Ma jesty will listen to nothing unless her name be first restored to the Liturgy. The 18th of June was 'named as a fit day for the coronation, that being the anniversary of the glorious battle of Waterloo ; but as it was ti.und that the 18th of June would come round before the I-louse of Commons should have terminated the session, that day would not be eon, venient, as every member would have a right by custom to demand provision fur himself and family. It now seems that the 12th of July is the day fixed ; and tile coronation will certainly take place, ifthe difficulties which have been mentioned can be surmounted. Her Majesty honoured Mr. Ward on Tuesday morning, by viewing his magnificent picture at the Egyptian Hall, with peculiar interest, and for a considerable length of time, to the gratification of numerous spectators who were present, her Majesty not having sent Mr. Ward any previous notice of her intended visit. Her Majesty was attended Ly Sir Robert Wilson, Lord and Lady Hood, and other distinguished characters. On Thursday the ferman to. a master builder • was standing on a scafibld in front of Bath-house, Piccadilly, when an tipper scaffold gave way, and falling upon him, he was precipitated a depth of 15 feet to the ground—he was taken to St. George's. hospital, where he expired shortly afterwards. He has left a wife and family to deplore his lose. OPTHALMIC HOSPITAL—A Committee has ben appointed "to inquire into the Establishment of the Opthalmic Hospital in the Regent's Park, and the claims of Sir W. Adams upon the public; and to report their opinion thereupon to the House; '— with power to send for persons, papers, and re cords; five to be a quorum ; and to adjourn from. thae to time, and from place to place; and to sit during the sitting, and notwithstanding any ad. journment of the House. AGRICULTURAL COMMITTLE.—There are now 28 members forming this committee. The Marquis. of Londuaderry had been added to them, and his• • Lordship has constantly attended their meetings, • - since the recess. The committee was on Mondtava fully attended. On the right of Mr. Gooch, the•. Chairman, appeared the Marquis of Londonderry,„ the Hon. F. Robinson, Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Rimed°, , &c.; and on the left were Sir Edward Knatchbuil, Mr. Curwen, Mr. Baring, &c. No witnesses were examined. On the Chair being taken, the commit mittce proceeded to enquire, whether it was requisite to cull any more witnesses. This was decided in the negative, with the exception of one witness,: who was desired to attend to-day. His evidence, it is expected, will complete their examinations of witnesses. The committee then proceeded to the discussion of the important question—what report they should make to the house. No member adduced any thing as the outline of a report, or submitted any distinct. propositions, fer the consideration of the committee; but during the whole of the day they were engaged. in discussing what had been 'adduced on the one hand, by those who appeared in support of the agriculturists petitions, and on the other, by per sons who gave testimony iu opposition to that of the farmers. The Marquis of Londonderry and Mr. Baring addressed the Committee at considerable length. After this extended discussion, the only result that was come to was, that the debate should. be resumed this day. tandem Driving.—A match was drove on Wed ' nesdav on the Lea isham-road, fOr 100 guineas, by Mr. Gwilt, a dealer, who undertook to trot two horses in tandem 13 miles in one hour, anti to wait three minutes it' either horse broke into a gallop. The horses did the first three miles some seconds, over 15f minutes, when the leader broke from the trot, and half the distance teats performed in 30 mi nutes and SO seconds. The driver was going on at the rate of a mile in four minutes and about 15 se conds, when the wheel horse Locke into a gallop in the 1 lth mile, and the mach was given up us hest. The county of Lancaster has adopted the plan of raising the militia by bounties instead of ballot, which mode is found the least expensive to the county. Each volunteer receives, on being sworn in, two guineas. _ The to op , oor premises of Farmer Lurie, of Bagshot, were wiifany act on fire on the night of Saturday, th e sth inst. and at about the same timv, tiro hay. rkks, belonging to the R v. Mr. Hammond, of Wiudchhatu, were nia'iciously burnt. From the coiheidenci: of time and place. there is little doubt but that these horrid acts were committed by the same party.
