We do not hear as yet, of any information of consequence from the Armies in Spain ; but it is still the opinion that the moment the French take possession of Madrid, they will offer overtures to the Spaniards. There is but little business doing either at the Stock Exchangeor the foreign market. FOREIGN FUNDS.—Spanish Honda opened at 36, and got up to 3, nitb a break market, - Chili. 68.—New Spanish. 3614.—New Prussia, 83—Rus sia, 'N.—Danish, 90 to 4—Colombia. 664.

The !louse of Commons re-assemble this dav, pursuant to adjournment. It is expected, we believe, that the In golly, into the conduct ot the Sheriff of Dublin, will ter minate this evening. We understand a petifon is to he presented to the •Ilott,e of Commons, this week, praying for an alteration in the mode of electing Special Jurymen, which we hop.: still be attended to by every Member who bas regard fur the inspastiskadmi-iistrat . on of justice. An article of intelligence was obscurely announced in one of the? Dutch Papers, that we received on Satin.- c:ay, to whi. la more iinportant consequences may attach than we suspected from the pernaal of it. It ran thus : " Sr. Pura:ammo. A PR I t. 26.—TheAdjutants-lieneral of lii.Msjevy the Eli rettonWoLxosts Kr, ttlawrscht wow, and NM:KEW/SKI, have reteived lease of absence fur se veral months." The indivhlrals here named, are, as we understand, person. who possessed treat influence with theEsternon, and exeiris..d that influence, decisively, in the policy of the ltn.stan tioverniin•nt. Their "leave of ahsence,' Merefore, which, in Ilus.ian etiquette, means what not be exidaived, is regarded as the prelude to some illl portaatit change of iiira.nree that way have no slight effect upon questions of the greatest moment. We shall perhaps, hare something more to say on this subject in a day or two.— (Courier.) From a rarliainentary Return respecting Bankrupts, it ap, ears that, on an average of three years, the debts of hiscliels bankrupts amounted to the amizing suns of 3,156,382 t. a-year. The dividends fell short of 4 500 f., hitie snore than half-s-crown the hundred pounds. The siesst loss is snore than 15 p..r cent. upon the income fr..us trade of every sort, which was assessed fur the property-t.a. Private letters front Cadiz, dated the 25th April, state that the general feeling of the higher classes in Spain is decidedly hostile to the invading army, and that the lower classes are more astonished at the entranee of the Fr nrh than alarmed at their progress. At such places us the French army enters, the peasants ant population produce their provisions in consequence of the excellent market for their disposing of these commodities. It has, honever, been observed, that where the Guerillas of the army of die Faith precede the Fiends, they never find either forage or fcud on account of their not paving for Tither. This is s'ated to have been the case at Burgos, e here the troops of the Faith found every p!ace entirely bare of precisions, notwithstanding the strictness of their search. On the entrance of the French into that town, provisions were immediately produced fiona their hidden places, and soil to the army at a high rate. Under date, the 111. of Aprll, one of these letters announce that the hing was expected to take up his residence in that city b f re the end of the month, and that preparations %mild be made in a day or two fur his removal. The latest account,. from Seville, roreired at Cadiz, state that the Infanta Donna Luisa Carlita, Consort of the Infant Hon Franciero de Paula having been delivered of a boy, his Majesty hail been phased to confer upon hint the ti tle of the Duke of Seville, as a proof of his regard for' the city he baa now Lonoared with his presence. Va LLA DO LI IN May 6.—The Army of the Faith entered the toter. souse dave ago. At their approach the Consti tutional Authorities retreated, a. well as a vast tu:inlier of tie best families, and all the men able to carry arms. We are in the greatest cunswrnation and alarm. livery thing helonginir to the new system has been overthrown, and every hour we hear of new arrests. The Con. vent of La Afarced (which formerly served as the In quisition) is crowded with prisoners, chiefly obi men cetaineil there for Constitution ei hue, as it is now called, and for baying allowed their chit iren to retire. lam lying in a sick-bed, hot I don't know whether this will save ow fr...in being dragged to pris,n. The French are expected in a slay or two. We shall always consider them as our prila ipal t limits, being the louvers of these troubles; but we shill rejoice at their arrival, its hopes of seeing this dreadful anarchy cease. How long will these troubles I. st. it is impossible for me to say; but certain it is, that all the able men are determined rsther to pe rish than to see the old ohs/potions renewed. I send no u. wa, because we are no longer allowed to get any. Last night we were favoured with a sight of a seal ring of gold, late!y Insole in Athena.; on one aide is the head of Alinerre—oar the other the owl,eith the three first let ters of the word adtesaioa.

PERPIGNAN, MAT W.—General Donnadien entered Vich on the 6th. after merely a slight skirmish in the wood of Tosca, between Olot and Laspresas, where we had about 30 wounded. The enemy continuing their retreat, they have passed the bridge of Roda over the Ter. have abandoned the left bank of that river, and retired upon the Llusanes.— When General Doanadieu entered Vich, the enemy de. tached 4,000 meu from their army, who reaseended the right bank of the Ter, and having marehe4 by the road of Vich to Ripoll, they arrived on the Bth at Campredon a town three leagues from our frontiers, in Order to cut off war c trumunications with that place, from whence General Donnadicu draws all his supplies of provisions and ammunition. The entrance of this corps into tampredon was an nounced by the sudden and unexpected arrival of tue same Monks, who on the 4th, at six in the morning went forth to the sound of music to proceed to their re spective convents,and take possession of their estates and benefices. The arrival of the enemy at Ripoll i; further confirmed, by the way of teed:lgoe. On the 7th the in habitants of Ripoll fled to Cerdagne, announcing the ar rival of the army of Min sin their town. The whole of the following night the tro Ts were under arms, ex pecting every moment to see the troops of Mill arrive but, it appears to be the object of that lieneral to occupy tampredon, and cut off the communications of Otner tl Donnadieu. A cansiderahli convoy, which had set out for Olot, returned to Pradts on the 6th, at half-p ist one, in the afternoon. We kn3a, n athing of the ulterior operations of these two corps. We only know, that on the 9th General Don ' ma:lieu sent orders to the 3d battalion of the 19th line, which was at St. Laurent de Cerduns, to corer that part of oar frontier; and to proceed in consequence to Olot ; the battalion set out on the 9th. The enemy do not seem much disconcerted by our entrance into Catalonia; and those of their partisans who remain in the villages which we occupy appear well satisfied with the operations of Mina. The soldiers of the division of d'Eroles, who remain in Cerdagne, des-rt every day, with arms and baggage. The Officers of the F;ith pretend that it is becatt-e they are not paid, their treasure having followed the he'd-quarters of the Baron d'Eroles, there o as no one left in Catalonia to pay the troops of the Faith. BAYONNI, MAY 11.-.-We know from travellers that the Constitutional government of Spain has prohibit' al from the Ist instant, all commitnic ation with those parts of the country occupied by the French. It is v er y t rue , I repeat it, that on the approach of our troops* the greater' number of families in easy circumstances tale flight.— Segovia was evacuated five days ago, with the excep-1 final of some field-pieces, which th cleves of the school of artillery there are to convey to Rodrigo. All the ma teriel was abandoned fur want of the means of convey. mace. Madrid is almost deserted, nearly every one hav ing left it for the Andalnsias. The roads are encumber ed with emigrasts, carrying with them their most valua ble effects. There is no defection amongst the troops, the troops, nor do the bands of the Faith increase. The occupation of the capital has been fan-seen, and no person appears alarmed about it. The necessity has begun to be felt of escorting the convoys, from its being known with cerainty that several Constitutional guerillas are focusing in the provinces. We know that the prisoners, GO ie nnmber, made at thrall:tie of. Logrono, have arrived at Vittoria. Useless efforts have been made to incorporate them with the Army of the Faith ; they have all refused with great energy, declaring that. they would lather be allot. PARIS, MAY N.—The ri port which has been circu lated of the complete defeat of the Spanish Royalist Corps, comnetnaled by Routaeosa, consisting of 2,1100 men, by Mina, who unexpectedly arrived, assumed more consistecce yesterday. It is said that the plan of Mina was to attack the two divisions of Eroles and Romagosa, for the purpase of dispersing them before cowing into cont act with the French army. The Aturmal de Toulomse of the 12th instant, 'pores a letter from Perpignan of the 7th, containing the follow ing pssssces : " I'he 19:11 Regiment of Infantry of the line, which ! has arrived here, about 1,300 strong, which was to pro ceed towards Pisycertia, has received orders to march to-morrow morning for Spain, by the way of lief iegartle ; one battalion is about to proceed to Gerona, another to Alfa 'and a third to Jonquere. This regiment ap pears to be destined to protect the convoys which may be dis turbed by the Guerillas left by Mica in tne quarter ofOlot. It is report,:g that the French Gorman !ant of Figueras sent the day before yesterday a flag of truce to the Governor of the fort to induce him not to Are upon the town %bleb lie had damaged, threatening that when the garrison should be com pelled to surrender, they should be treated with rigour, if this practice was continued. The Governor received the flag of truce, look notice of the object of tae mission, but an far from agreeing to the request, he had no sooner seat off the flag of truce than he issued orders to fire." A Fre'cli writer, accnvoined to the perusal of our English newspapers, and not being aware thatt lie want of room for the insertion of police intelligence dcring the Session of Parliament, lawn the debates excite so much interest, and occupy so much space, occasioned their being for the greater put °milted, draws fro m t hi s c i reorn• stance a conclusion not unnatural in a foreigner, and tell his readers, tint " Such is the respect of the English for their Parliament, and in ;Treat the benefit of its snperin tebdence, that while it is sit ing, crimes are extremely rare; h it as soon as it rises, the papers are tilled with ac counts of the most horrible atrocities." The srokrmen employed in laying flown the iron pipes for the purpose of drawing off the water out of the canal in St. James's park, for the purpose of cleansing out the dirt that has so long choked it up, found, in digging up the ground in the passage leading to IVhitelsall•stairs, several human bones, which must have been buried for a creat nunibtr of years. The water is to run into the Thames at the above stairs, and report states that a hand some Bridge is to be erected over the Canal in the P.iwk, on the same spot that the old wooden struc- ture stood. As it has come to our knowledge that the ship George Canning, of Liverpool, Mr. Liu urge burster, master, has not reaihed her destination, boaresard.hounil from the coast of Africa, and is supposed to have foundered, we ewe, for the information of lice owners end the friends and relatives of those on board, that she was hoarded by his Majesty's ship Cyrene, commanded by Capt.

Th e G eorge Canning was deeply laden with a valeahle cargo of palm oil, ivory, Sac., was very healthy, and had been about eight weeks from Prince's Id and. A similar fate is sup posed to have attended the Windermere, of Liverpool, which left Prince's Island late in November, and whose , Eroomen found a conveyance to this port on board his Majesty's ship Cyrene.---(Nicrra Lcone .I.lccras,r, Mach I.) THE STATESMAN, BOXING. THE GREAT FIGHT BETWEEN SPRING AND This grand combat, which NEATE. has so long InterAted the Sporting World, took place yesterday, le a field about a mile on this side Andover, the Magistrates having pre vented its taking pl ace a t Weyhill. The road ass so much thronged with vehicles of every description, that it was with the utmost difficulty the journey to town could be performed ; and at the hour of our going to press, but very few people had returned from the some of action, and even those to whom the public look for scientific in formation on the combat, had not yet arrived. In the mean time, to allay the anxiety of such of our readers as are interested in the result of the day, we avail ourselves of the friendly communication of the following particn lsrs. from an Amateur, who returned to town since one o'clock : The multitude collected round the ring was supposed to be the greatest ever assembled on a similar occasion. The number was computed at not less than five and thirty thou sand. The greatest order, however, prevailed, through the judicious arrangements of Mr. Jackson. Neate entered the ring, first, with Belcher and Har mer, and was soon followed by Spring, attended by Crib and Painter. The men peeled in the guest condition possible. Pound I. Sparring for stx minutes. Neste then tried at Spring's body with his right hand. Spring broke away, but returned with a tremendous bit under the ear, and . drew the first blood. Shouting for Spring. Round 2. Long Sparring. Spring put in a left-handed hit on Neate's eye, which nearly closed It. A rally ensued, when Spring threw Neale.—Betting 7 to 4. Round 3. This was the most effective round. An exchange of tremendons blows took pla, e, when Spring hit Neat in falling, and nearly aunt ;rim out of the ring. At this time the bets were 10 to 2, an .l the greatest con ' fusion prevailed among the Bristolians. Round 4. Nerve came np bleeding at the mouth. and quite out of temper ; tried all means to get in, and shifted about in all directions. Spring remained per fectly firm, and appeared int to exert himself at all. Neale, at len , :th, exhausted with sparring, went in, and received a couple of mill blows from Spring's right hand as resounded through the ring. These were fol lowed by another blow on the neck as Neale was falling. —Betting 10 to 1. Itonnd .s.—After a little sparring. and exchanging of blows, Neate was hit down, and tumbled 'over like a shuttlecock. Immediately on getting Hp. he shook hands with Spring and gsre in.—lt was said his arm was broken. The battle lasted thirtv-!ive minntes. On the issue of the fight, immense sums of money were depending. Mr. Bland, it is said. made seven c ton sand pounds on the occasion ; and Mr. Sant (Spring's backer) has also made a good thing of it. Our informant adds, that he never witnessed a fight so respectably attended. Among the men of title pre sent were the Earl of Egretnonr, the Marquees of Wor cester, Lord Nugent, Lord Cardogan, &c. &c. &c. OLD BAILEY. The n•bnle of the inlictments in the calendar having been goii through last night, the Recorder, at Eleven this morning., entered the Court and immediately pro ceeded to pass sentence on the undermentioned pri soners : George Downey, Mary Trevine, George Moss. Eliz Benson, George herd, glary Williams, Thomas Jones' Geo. Beaumont, Thomas Richardson, Jas. Groves, Geo. Naas, Fanny AVilliames, Thomas Johnson, Thomas Jephson, John Fothergill. and Charles IVliitmarsh, transported for seven years; John Holden, for four teen years; William Bail, for life. John Lake, and Charles Butler (Manslaughter) 2 months confinement in New•gete. Thirty three were sentenced to various terms of imprison ment in the !louse of Correction and to be kept to hard la bour, and eight to be privately whipped in the gaol. The following unhappy Prisoners received the awful seri_ tence of Death : Thomas Connor, Thomas Cooley, John Drown, Kitty Sheen, Thomas Fanwick, and Frederik John William Norton, for slealing in the dwelling-house when the Recorder addressed them in a most impressive manner, in nearly the following words— Prisoners at the Bar—You have severally been tried by an intelligent and humane Jury who have been compel led by the sacred obligations of their oaths to pro nounce you Guilty of the crimes imputed to yost. It was with great reluctance they came to I:tat terrible con clusion. There are none of you who have arrived at the aniadie age of man. The majority of you are under twenty-one, and instead of having been a comfort t o e those conne ed with you, you have involved them in the deepest distress, and yourselves in a situatioa dreadful to contemplate. You now stand miserable examples of a long course of wickedness and theft ; a conise which at all times eventually leads to the bands of the Counnon Executioner. That life which might have been pro longed many years with honor and credit to yourselves, and which tni , ,ht have closed in peace, is now aboat to be forfeited to the injured Laws of yaur Country There is but one way, by which you can make atonement for your crimes, and that is, by a sincere and heartfelt repentance. Let me implore you to employ the short remainder of your days in seeking mercy from your Creator. You will be attended by a pious anal atter.- tive Divine, who will assist you in supplication to the throne of Divine Grime. and prepare you fur that dreadful change you must shortly undergo." The Recorder then proceeded to pass the sentence of the Law in the usual way. The unfortunate prisoners seemed deeply ailec.e(l, land quitted the Bar who sobs and tears, which affected , he whets: Court. The weather continues be cold; there has been a considerable quantity of rain during the last ten days, which, though it has failed to bring warmth, as was ex pected, has improved the appearance of the country, by giving some life t.► vegt tation ; which is, however, still very backward. There is a good prospect of fruit ; but the long prevalence of easterly wind lins generated ver min, which may prove fatal to it. A correspondent says that a species of winged insects, of the beetle gentle, which never attracted his observations before, abound in such numbers in the neighbourhood, as to threaten great destruction to vegetation of all so: as, and that ash and beech trees are literally swarming s ith which he considers singular, after so long a track of intensely cold weather. —(facernees Journal.) The Cattle Markets held at liiltlary, Itass-shite, on- Tuesday, and at Alai'. of Ord on ll'etltesd ty and l'iturs day were very numerously attended, and tl.e show of cattle was excellent.

EXTRAORDINARY PeuLarRIAN eIEAT.—On Thursdaylthe neighbourhood of Blessington-street and the new Basin, Dublin, was a scene of hustle and interest, by the anxiety to witness the extraordinary performance of n young man named Russell, a native of •• the land o' cakes," who under took, for a wager of 100 sovereigns, to walk one hundred miles in twenty-four successive hours. The pedestrian, aged about 28 years, strongly made, and of low stature, Wall dressed in a cotton jacket and waistcoat, with tartan trowsers and Scotch bonnet, woollen stockings and re markably strong shoes, and in his right hand a horsewhip, which he generally carried by the small end, while his left hand was placed in his jacket pocket, and his loins firmly girt by a belt and handkerchief. Ile commenced his formi dable undertaking in the enclosure of the Basin, at four o'clock on Wednesday, and continued walking all night, only stopping four times, for about five minutes on each oc casion, to take some hare-soup and to change his stockings. The circumference of the Basin is very nearly a quarter of an Irish mile. It takes 123 rounds to 100 miles. During the night he went al rounds in two minutes to eac' , . About three o'clock yesterday he took five minutes and a half to a round, and during the last half hour he performed each round in from tree to three and a half minutes, aril the last round in two and a half, havi,g accomplished the 100 miles in 23 hours an I three quarters, wstitlng a few seconds. During the last round he deliberately tied a blue riband to the end of his whip,whicit he waived triumphantly, and huzzaed with great a itnatian on gaining the startiivr post. After his Herculean task, he appeared quite fres'i, and declared 11.• could easily walk a coaple of hours I mger. On getting into the carriage, it was with great difficulty 6, crowd were prevented from taking the horses off, and draw ing it to its destination.—(Dublia paper.)
