PARTS papers which were due, from Saturday to 'Wednesday last inclusive, were received yesterday. They cont:►in no intelligence of any real importance. The same silence continues to be preseryed with respect to the attempt upon the Duke of• Wellington. An article from Madrid contains a letter from the 'Governor of Gibraltar, addressed to the Spanish Com mandant at St. Roche, Mating that information had been received in that garrison of the plague having broken out at Algiers with renewed violence. More than ninety persons .die daily at Constantine, and it i. 4 calculated that nearly ten thousand have fallen vic tims to it in the town of Algiers alone. " We are sorry to state, that two considerable de faulters were declared yesterday at the Stock Exchange. The Funds are rather higher. At one o'clock Consols for account were 792." It will 'be seen by our Parliamentary Report, that Sir Robert Peel's Bill for regulating the hours of chil dren in manufactories, was read a second time, and committed on Monday. While we feel grateful to Sir Robert, for his exertions in behalf of the helpless children, whose condition is worse than that of the most unhappy slaves, we cannot but be bath astonished and indignant at the cold-blooded arguments of some of the mandfacturing gentlemen who are opposed to the bill. Humanity with them is a minor considera tion. It is only through the pocket that they reason ; and, that the Minister may be brought to reason as they do, and lend his aid in opposing the wholesome re gulations which a true friend of humanity wishes to introduce,•they attempt to alarm hint by their fears for the revenue. If the hours of labour are limited to a number which nature can endure, their cry is, the re venue will be injured ! Our best feelings are to he smothered, and our hearts to be s!eeled against the fatherless, " and they that have none to l.e!p them," because a wretched calculating pounds, shillings and pence spirit dreads a diminution of its anin?. The time has bceg whcn sonictiiiryj like an analogy hive been made for encourui,-ing this disposition, but, thank God, it has passa away. When we were standing singly opposed to the car.federated =rid, the necessity of supplies to meet the necessities of the times, might, if not wholly encase, yet, considerably palliate attempts to impose extraordinary labour; bat now, when better days are fast rstarning, shall we, from sordid considerations, Nntinue a system which must be revolting to the feelings of every man of sensibility, and which must have the etrect ofiessening that high character for humanity by which we have always been distinguished among the na:ions of the civilized world. In the House of Lords the Nlin;sters have had an overpowering majority on the second reading of the In demnity Lid. The disel:ssion on the subject, which was of very great length, presented nu new feature, but was distin 6 uishedby the plain manly defence which Lord Sidmouth inaele of the line of conduct which he had iilipted under the Suspension His Lordship, in distinct terms, asserted what has been asserted by his. colleagues, again and again, that Indemnity was not sought for themselves, but for the numerous Magis trates who had communicated with the Government. In reply to Lord Erskine, who had said - ".they he (Lord Sidmouth) mast be conscious of at least one instisnee of injury inflicted on some inno cent person, or he would not ask fir a Bill of Indemnity,"—his Lordship observed, th at h e "could broadly say, .there was not a single case of im prisonment, Which in his own mind, or in the minds of any of those Who had officially advised it, produced the slightest feeling of self-reproach ; there was not one in dividual apprehended against whom he would not pro ceed in a similar manner, under similar circumstances. —The accounts &their treatment, as furnished by the prisoners themselves were thll of the grossest misrepre sentations end fidselniods, and he could enter into par ticulars which would convince the House, except that they did not concern the present discussion. He would not therefore touch upon them : inslecsl, his chief ob ject in rising had been to state that Oliver could not come within the scope of the present Bill ; for he had done nothing that required forgiveness or indemnity; and he desired.uny Noble Lord to saythat he had not made use of Oliver in any way repugnant to strict ho nour, or to strict law, or that he had exercised any of his official functions in any way injnrious : to the ccastitu tion." It is now announced oflkiallv, by what we can un derstand, that the Emperors of Austria and Russia, with the King of Prussia, the Duke of Richelieu. and Vis count Castlereagh, are to meet at Dusseldorf in the course of next Autumn—for what specific purpose is not positively known; but conjectures arc busy on the subject. PRETENDED DAUPIIIN.—The afEtir of Mathurin Bruneau has at length terminated, and sentence has been pronounced against him as a vaguboud and a swindler. He has been condemned to pay a fine to the King of 3,000 francs, and to an imprisonment for five years, on account of the crimes of which he has been convicted; and on the expiration -if that period, to a further imprisonment of two years, on account of the insults offered to the President by the prisoner during his trial. He is further condemned to pay three-fourths of the expenses of the proceedings; and on the expira tion of his present sentence, he is ultimately placed at the disposal of Government. Bruneau's accomplices are also convicted, and sentenced to afferent degrees of punishment, in proportion to their.offences. The in dividual who had presented himself, in,the course of the last week, at the palace of the Tuilleries, calling him self Charles de Navarre, was a M. Dufresne, who had been previously confined in a mad-house. The marriage of the Duke of Clarence with the rich heiretts, Miss Wykeham, is said to be finally arranged, and from what we observe, it is not likely to suffer any delayfrom the late domestic calamity It is said that the Prince Regent has given his own personal cssent ; but whether it has papted through the constitutional forms, and that the 11 , yal Assent in Council has been given, is not yet publicly known. It must have that sanction to secure to the Lady the right, for herself and heirs, of succeeding to the Throne. On this intereeting sub ject it cannot be forg otten, that the King in Connell refused his assent in tree former instances. By the Royal Marriage Act, two modes arc proposed by which the Princes of the Blood may marry :-1. By the King's previous approbation, by and with the con sent of his Privy Council, and consequently, by the same authority, in the: name and on behalf of his Mu jesty, by the Prince Regent.-2 By the Prince intenol in4 t: marry, if be shall have attained the full age of Y 6 years, entering on the books of the Privy Council such his intention, specifying the person ; wii!ch notice shall authorise the union, unless both Houses of Par liam.int. shall, before the expiration of twelve =Antis from the date of such entry, expressly ao:Lre their disapprehation of such intcailed marriage. ' •11.11101 Arßell REVIEW OF LITERITURE. Important Trifles : cl4icflf appropriate to Fernlike oft their Entrance into Society. BY EA131.1 This little volume is chicly intenlel fir the perusal of those, who may b supposeed t-.) have attained all the( advantages of a liberal education. To works like this, our fair countrywomen owe that superiority in both mental and personal accomplishments which they are allowcil to possess orer the females of the Continent ; and we cannot but compliment Miss Parker upon the air of originality which she has thrown over thoughts, ttt.t In themselves, but actittiring a novelty ausl value from the manner in which they are expressed. We select the follow;ng as a specimen of the style in which this little volume " On Future Ills," is written : '• Often when looking at the mown o: a tempestuous night, I have thought the scene ..a of our lives, and as I watched her ;Mb_ grers, t•uisued tJc metaphor. One moment slie.appears in placid rm.- iihnice. smiling %f or i can fancy the ninon smiles) with calm serenity. ch ad overshadows her, her gloom increases, and she a So the dark influence of adversity overwhelms ors briiiimit I.r .spects, but gradually it passes over, and they reappe . ar. S., the orb breaks form iii splendour. Some ur thumg , elou.i3.agala parti.Py otpettre her lustre.; .these are -the petty vexa tinns unlerossas of life, which are gone as soun as felt. The clout 4 that arc seen at a distance, yet advancing. arethe evils we dread, or misfortunes we anticipate, and they may teach us a pleasing lessen when we observe. that instead of pasongover the face of the moor. they ace often wafted on one side, or swim by in such a manner, thet even, though appcar to touch I.ur, her brightness remains same. So the ralarnaies we apprehended and the disapixiintments we conceive threaten us, may never arrive, or circumstances, or cur situations be SO changed Wore they take place, as to prevent our be ing attatcd by them. Thus the most superiluous of all our ar xi ties is that arising Iron the ::read of what may happen ; fur, in the first place, the future may never arrive to us in this werld, and se condly, if it should, the ever varying eire,a;n,tanceb wined are con tinually changing the face of human affairs, may have given an aspeal to the scene, which will cause us tow:lt:at:plate it with sensa tions widely differing flout those we had appetites:fled it would have excited. Say, our own hearts are s ub j ect to such extraordinary re volutions, that the very event which at one period would have made us miserable, may on:, future ocerisiox, promote our happiness." The Duke and Duchsss of York, tke Duke and Du,- diem ofGloucester. the Princess Sophia of Gloucester, the Prince of Hesse Nurnberg, with several of the Ca binet Ministers and their Indies, were of the Prince Regent's dinner,party, on Tuesday evening, to meet her Majesty, and the Princesses Augusta and Eliza beth. At nine o'clock there was a small party to tea. The Duchess of . Norihumherland was on Friday a night, delivered of still born child, at his Grace's house in St. James's square. We are happy to mite that her Grace is as well as can Le expected under so afflicting a circumstance. The Scotish Crown lately brought to light is remark able.for the number of beautiful pearls with which it is decorated. They are considered .Scottish ; as the pearls of Scotland were formerly in much repute, and of.considerable size. The river Ythan in Aberdeen... shire was long celebrated for the size and beauty of the pearls it afforded. Even so late as the last century, a pearl was taken in that river, for which thirty-five guineas were given by a travelling , 'Jew, and it was af.. terwarns understood he sold it for three times that price. We may add, that , pearls have been got in the rivers in Ireland Pm* which eight pounds have been refused. The will of Lord Walsingnani has been proved by George LordWalsingham, the son, and Edward Boodle, Esq. the executors, on the 19th instand the personalty sworn under 200,0001., the stamp duty on which is 2,7001 The will is principally confined to family connexions, with the exception of some pecuniary le gacies to his friends, including one of 100 guineas to his very intimate friend, LurdEldon. He lays a strict injunction upon his sons, or into whose bands the same may fall, not to publish any of his manuscipts, memo randa, or papers of office whatever. The Gazette of last night announces theappointment of the Rev. W. Tournay, .D.D. to the dignity of a Pre bendary of Westminster, void by the death of the Rev. John Wheler The liberty oi•the press has received a severe check at Weimar. The two opposite newspapers, entitled, Ne ,mesis, and theFriendoftht People, have been suppress ed. Dr. Weiland, the editor of the latter, hus left the country, and one professor connected with the journe.s has 'been imprisoned six weeks: one has been passed over in his tarn of promotion ; and two have been for bidden the Court.
