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 fitreign messenger was sent off to the Continent after the council broke up. The next information from Lord trangfOrd. the British ambassador at Constantino ple, wilt probably bring something decisive respect ing the negotiations between Russia and the Porte. 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, Sirhowey, and Pont-y-pool works. The Scotch Greys have remained at Abergavenny, and the knowledge that the county cavalry arc on the alert, and that application has been made the same 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 suppert their fami lies; in the evening they blacken their flees, assem ble on the hills, and use the most horrible threats to deter those who think half a loaf better than no bread, from working under the regular prices. NEW CM/11CW, CAMIERWELL —Tuesday was appointed far 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-past ten, and after there receiving his Lordship, proceeded to the ground.— The arrival of the Bishop on the ground was an nounced by a discharge of cannon, and the St. George's ensign was hoisted at the north-east angle. When the Bishop, Clergy, and Committee as. mdeff the platform, 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 procession returned to the Grove-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 R. Githml 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 hishaving been Attorney-General to her late Majesty, but that he has declined accepting it unless a similar compliment is paid to Mr. Denman. FRANKFORT, APRIL 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 Par2r states, that Mr. O'Connell has received a letter from the Rt. Hon. W. C. Plunkett, announcing 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 inimila6le, have scarcely been sent into circulation, but it is found, as was previously proved by Messrs. Perkins and Co., they may be imitated with the greatest ease; and a forgery has already been committed on the Blackburn bank by various parties, who have severally been apprehended and committed to Lan caster Castle thr Letters frotu Petersburgh, dated the IA instant, have been rec Lived. The exchange has slightly risen, being quoted at 9 21-32, and. the 6 per cent. is perfectly steady at 102, both which are tolerably sure indications of the public opinion in favour of' peace. Extract of a letter received at Lloyd's from Kin sale, dated April 22.—" It becomes our duty to convey 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.

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 OP TUE POOR.—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 are lined with labourers and tradespeople, who stand leaning against the houses, their arms folded, and despair in tli:!ir 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 for 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 potatuc crop, the total want of employment throughout the country, and the low prices of every description of agricultural produce, not only is one class threaten:d with an ab solute want of food, 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 Lie head of a band of insurgents (of which ha was leader), has excited considerable attention. He nas found guilty, chiefly on the evidence of two young ladies, the daughters of Mr. John Shelton, who, however, gave the evidence 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 peasant.—Limerick Chronicle. DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN. BUDGE-ROW.--On Thurs day morning at five o'clock two houses in Butlse-row, Cannon -street; the lower part of which, occupied by Mr. Rory, a carpenter. as a shop, and the upper part let, fell with a dreadful crash, and buried ad the inmates who were in bed in the ruins. Mr. Parry who was up, and standing at the shop window dressing himself, was the only person who escaped, and lie was thrown out at the window. Mr. Bowles, a merchint, and hi, wife, occupied the first floor ; Mr. Nichols the second, acid two maiden ladies, sisters, of the names o; Osbaideston the third. An alarm was immediately raised, and the neighbourhood were roused. The constables of the night and the watchmen procured assistance; several labourers and carpenters were employed in ',topping up the adjoining houses, and putlogs were placed across the street to the opposite house ; the street was barricadoed at each end, and ihe labourers began to clear away the ruins. The two Nliss Osbaldestons were (104 out about six o'clock, dreadfully mutila ed and nearly suffocated, and carried to Si. Thomas's lio.pital, with little hope of recovery; Mr. Nichols escaped with little injury. NI r. and Mrs. Bowles were dug out about half-past aix ; they were found in bed nearly suffocated hoot the rubbish, but screened by a large beam and part of the flooring.— A surgeon was on the spot, who had them carried to the Crown.taverii, Bow-lane, where they were pill 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 twits at twelve o'clock, acid from the appearance of the ruins, there cannot relicalii a doubt but they are dead. The workmen continued their labours during the es ening, and the distrers of the rela tives and friends of the sufferers was indescribable 011 Friday night, at seven o'clock, an inquisition was taken at the Three Cranes tavern, NVatling-street, before T.
