M. de ViPele has suffered another defeat in the Chamber of Peers. A prqt t for establishing nunneries was rejected a majority of 85 votes against $3. The Paris Papers only state the fact, without detailing the grounds of objec tion successfully urged agcinst the proposed law. If it be a manifestation of opinion on the part of the French Peers, that the steps now taking for the reiteration of the Ca tholic religion to its former dangerous and intolerant supre macy have not their concurrence, it is an event highly important and beneficial to France, and to the cause of religious liberty. If it he rejected only to hamper and annoy the Minister, the consr quences will be of less moment ; but in conjunction with the late decisions of the C.je, Royak in favour of the press, we cannot but hail it as a decisive Evidence of the progress of liberal principles end constitutional opinions. By the Brazil mail rec , iced yesterday, we have papers and letters from Bahia to the 31st, and from Rio Janeiro to the 14th of May. The Papers are chiefly filled with accounts relative to the prodamation of the Constitution, and the amain* of the Deputies. The people of Pernam buco still refused to submit to the Governor nominated by the Emperei. On the 2Gth of April the port was declared to be in a state of strict blockade, and on the day following a decree watt issued by his Brazilian Nlaj,sty, in which he declare:Jitter . " considering the danger of such dissentious, and wishing to restore tranquility to the interesting province of Pernambuco," he had appointed J. se Carlos Mairink do Silva Ferran, a rich inhabitant of the country, to be the Governor, instead of the Senor Francisco Pecs Baretu, :whose authority the peeple had resisted. This concession will probadly clote the breach ; for while the Brazilians 'remain the subjects of a montarcby, we do nut see how they tan with propriety insist upon the election of their own officers, and unless the Emperor had been willing to re nounce the exercise of his prerogative, he could not further have conceded than by recalling the obnoxious 11overnor. It is a circumstance rather singular, that the 3.1 of May, the anniversary of the King of Purtugal's birth, was celebrated with great pomp. The Brazilians have thrown off their dependance on his '.Hest Faithful Majesty, and he, in return, has denounced their proceedings as rebellious. In this state of things, why does the Government of Don Pedro pay this compliment to a Foreign Sovereign, to whom be professes to owe no allegiance or subjection? 4L ' ; 11!. By privitve letters lately reccivtd from India, it would appear, that the hostilities in that country will not be run lined to the Burmese. Some suspicion is entertained of the designs of S,:india. In order to counteract the movements of the enemy on the easterii frontier the troops have been numbers withdrawn from time upper provinces, . . and advantage has been taken of this circumstance to dis turb the public peace. Some conjectures have also been formed as to the conduct of the Russians in Asia. The correspondents whom we quote below seem much to over rate the evils by which they suppose our Eastern empire is menaced ; but it is the part of prudence to examine with a careful and scrutinising eye every source of danger, how ever trifling. Ile who would fear nothing must despise no thing. In no quarter, we are sure, would Russian ambi t:on moregladly sate itself than in India. CALCUTTA, MARCH 16. Government have at last issued a proclamation. declaring us at war with the Burmese; and the 13th Light Infantry is once more ordered to be ready for service, together with the 38th, the 2th Native Infantry, two companies of artillery, and a train of sixteen guns. These, it is said, are to be joined by a much larger force from Madras, as as to amount to about ten or twelve thousand men, and to attack Rangoon, or some important point on the coast, where they are to go into can t mments till the season for active operation commences- Troops are also gradually aseemblirg on our eastern frontier, and a regiment of cavalry is ordered to Kissergunge, to be at hand. A depot of artillery is forming at Dacca, and half the rocket trop is on its way to take its share in the campaign. Already, however, the ill effects of draining the upper provinces of troops has begun to appear in a pretended insurrection of one of Scindia's Sirdara, which, no doubt, has occurred with the privity of the Mah-raj himself. General Knox has marched against these people, but we have not heard with what success. The Russians are quietly but constantly approaching us. Some man sho have been at our north-western stations, and as far within our limits as Delhi, made no secret that an establishment was being organised at Balk, which you know is not very fat from the limit of Mr. Elphinston's excursion ; so that the talk of their find ing the route difficult Is all nonsense. The extraordinary, and in many cases minute knowledge, which some Bunten officers were found to possess with respect to the situation of our eattoamerts, and the disposition of the regular troops, attracted a good deal of attention, when some of our overland travellers fell in with their advanced ports; and lately we are told the question has been so far entered into by Russian military men, that the advantages - of march ing boldly into our territory and taking up cantonments amongst the Mahratta States. during the hut season, have been weighed against the more prudent plan of pas►ing the first year at Latimer, and organising the Seik army. We have received Calcutta Papers to the 14th of March, from which we learn little in addition to what has already transpired. The accounts from the Sylhet frontier are dated 29th February, on the river under Tailin, in Cashel.- Our loss in the attack by the Burmese on the Stockade was severe. Lieutenant Armstrong, of the 10th, was killed ; Lieut.-Colonel Bowen was slightly wounded with a sp.mt ball, and Lieutenant Graves slightly in the ann. Ensibm Barbane was dangerously hurt in the kg ; amputation has since tecome uecessary. About 120 men of the 10th were killed and wounded. Captain Johnston was severely wounded through the knee, and about 40 men of the 23d ltungpore were killed and wounded. The camp hospital was tolerably full. In the intelligence front Ireland received yesterday, two horrible occurrences will be found. In the county of Tipperary three, perhaps five, persons have been murdered in the most savage manner, on account of some disputes about renting land. In Wexford a murder, even more re volting, has been committed by a priest in a state of insane fanatici►m. The latter outrage on humanity is, in its de tails, a melancholy proof of the utter prostration of the human intellect by superstition, unsurpassed in the annals of any age or country. The late case of BODKIN r. CARDEN AND °TIMIS should be a lesson to us on the subject 2f Juries. If a Jury retire to consider of their verdict, the law is that they are to be kept without meat, drink, fire, or candle, unless by permission el the Judge, till they are unani mously agreed ; and if they eat or think at all, without consent of the Court, and before verdict, it is fineable. It is surely time that we purged our system of a law so re pugnant to common sense, and so at variance with every principle of utility. One is really surprised to find BLACK STONE gravely alleging as a reason for all this, that it is " in order to avoid intemperance and causeless delay," (Comm. 111. p. 37..) ; as if it were necessary for the pre vention of intemperance, that they should be kept without meat and drink. Auto causeless delay, it is a solicit= in language ; the delay must arise front the difficulty which one or more individuals find in agreeing in opinion with the rest ; the delay must have a cause, and this is it ; and it can manifestly be removed only by mutual reasoning, and a deliberate weighing of each others opinions ; the re sult of which will be, if things take their natural course, that those of superior intelligence will prevail, and those of minor capacity will at last concur. But the attempt to starve a man out of a pre-conceived opinion, or to suppose that he will see through a difficulty clearer without fire and cuudle; what excuse is there in this enlightened age for such absurdity ? Motives of a particular tendency are often so mixed nit with those of an opposite tendency, that it will sometimes happen that twelve men who, in criminal cases, are called upon to decide on the guilt or innocence of the agent, will not all readily bring their minds to the same conclusion; but, under such circumstances, to withhold from them not only all their accustomed comforts, but to refuse them the very means of existence till they are all of one mind, is to reduce the question of unanimity to a con test of physical strength, and to subject the conscience to the control of mural tayessity. What chance has the obstinacy of a juryman of seventy-eight in any struggle with the stubbornness of • fellow juryman of five-aial thirty ? The likelihood is, that his firmest resolutions will surrender, one by one, as his hunger gains strength ; and that the force of his better judgment will at last give way tribe weahmeas ei Isis emottitution. Wh.st advantage, moreover, we will ask, is obtained by this irrational system of proceeding? Can the most ingenious sophistry show any one good end that can possibly be answered by it? We ougl:t at this time of day to be better acquainted with the constitution of the human mind, than to continue to operate upon it by the same preposterous influences that suggested themselves to our rude ancestors, in the rudest ages of their history ; and we trust that the spirit of im provement which is now abroad will bring this disgraceful feature of our judicial sy.tem within the scope of its reformation.

The regular performances at this theatre closed on Sa-1 threlay, but the house was engaged last evening for the performance of Mr. Penn's tragedy of The Battle o/' Ed dingle'''. The victory of Alfred over the Danes at Eilding ton is a " tale of other times," known to every reader of the English' annals. The facts connected with it constitute the subject of the play ; but the texture of' the fable and other incidents are wholly imaginary. The tragedy was , first published in 1796, and dedicated to Mr. Pitt, of whom Mr. Penn appears to be a very vehement admirer. Since that period this gentleman has obtained some cele brity in the fashionable part of the literary world, by cer tain lectures, whimsically termed " Outinian," where young ladies are eilith el and instructed by amine very ,interesting dissertations On that (to them) very inte resting topic " matrimony." These lectures continue to be held weekly at his house in Spring-gardens, and I embrace the discussion of various branches of literature. Of the tragedy of Eddington we cannot speak very highly as a dramatic performance. It exhibits, however, a poetic taste of sedulous cultivation—and the sentiments, which are flowing and natural, are conveyed in language always pleasing, and sometimes powerful. They are such as be come a gentleman and a scholar. Of the performers we are unwillini; to speak harshly. We are not likely to see theni again, and we cannot say we regret it ; the perform ance can scarcely be considered as a public one. There was a pretty full attendance in the boxes and pit, but it was, we suspect, the complimentary visit of the numerous friends of the reap ctable author, rather than the meeting of such a mixed assembly of which an audience is generally made up. The deficiencies, and they were not a few, were therefore en dured with that well-bred forbearance and indulgence which one might naturally expect from a company collected under such circumstances. The performance was got up under the supei intendanee of Mr. Smithson, who so successfully opener; a theatre at Boulogne and Calais last year. Con • dering the materials lie had at his command, he may be said to have "acted well his part" in conducting the repre sentation. There was a variety of singing, Re., but we shall be silent triton its merits, for we fear " the farther we would go the performers Toga tire worse." • ._.__s On Saturday a meeting of Noblemen and Gentlemen from the City and the D'est-end of the Town. met no board the State. barge of the Merchant Tailors Company. for the purpose of taking into consideration a Plan for forming a Quay to extend from London Bridge to Scotland-yard, and amongst the tonim.ny on board were --the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, the Earl of Rosalyn, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Palmerston, the Earl of Carys fort . the Hon. Agar Ellis, the lion. Thomas Ilitskiseron, the lord Mayor, Mr. Alderman foal, Mr. Alderman Garrott, Mr. Aldemian Lucas, Mr. Easel!, Mr. Slade. sir James Mackintosh, the Marquis of Londonderry. S. Ltishingten, Esq. M.P., J. Irving, Esq., Grant, Esq. M.P., Wiet. Lemke, £541. M.P., J. Biden, Esq., and William Saunders, Esq. About three o'clock Ilia Royal Highness the Duke of Votk came on board, and took the ("Nair. Lieut.-Colonel TRENCII, 3leniber for Cambridge, then ad dressed the meeting, and said, that instead of occupying their time by the usual apolog ies for intrusion, he would. without preface, en deavour to explain the nature of the plan which he had now the honour to lay before them, as shortly as was consiatert with clear fleas. The general outline of the project was to make a magni ficent quay of communication from New London Bridge to Scot land-yard, thus connecting Charing-cross and %Whitehall with the heart of the City, and affording to the inhabitants of both extre , mities, as well as those along the whole of the line, a healthful and beautiful promenade and carriage road on the banks of the '1 ' river. The quay to be tat feet wide. with a footpath on each side, to be separated by rows of trees and lamps front the carriage-road in the centre, and in cases where commercial convenience requires the accommodation of wharfage, a proper portion of the terrace to be railed off for that purpose, securing accessfor unloading without interfering with the communication. Though lid feet be stated ge. , nerally as a breadth desirable for so magnif i cent a terrace, yes both the breadth and heighth might vary according to circumstances; it bring above all things desirable. that In carrying this great work into effect. public advantage should interfere as little as possible with private convenience. The whole of the quay to be supported upon arches, with a bold projecting cornice, and a simple balustrade. In pursuing this plan of explanation., Col. Trench thought it best to refer in the first place to that part of it which was at t h is moment under the observation of the meeting. (The barge was moored half.way between Scotland - yard and Waterloo-bridge). Ile pro. posed to project a pier into the river front Scotland-yard, and from its extremity to carry a terrace on arches to the exiremity of ‘v a t ee . I:xi-bridge, where there were now three arches of a store belooging , to the Duchy of Lancaster. This terrace would stand on arches ' 25 feet high, and be 110 feet broad, for the purpose of cr.:ming house', to combine profit with amusement. In fart. it would be a new street. of 23100 feet in length, 7tl feet in breadth in front al houses, which would be 411 feet, and of any extent of front that might suit the individuals proposing to build. The facade to be divided into three buildings. with two intervals. on each of which might be placed a handsome fountain, and by using tide-mills to command a supply of water, they may be formed into j.ta d'eau to the height of 40 or fill feet. In this and marl valuable suggestions, Colonel 'French was indebted to a distinguished Lady why sat on his Royal Highness's right hard (the Duchess of Itutiand). lie pro- posed to place in the centre an equestrian %tante of the King; but he was away: that these ornamental circumstances were of minor import acre, and he would hasten to state hula views with regard to the first division of the projected measure. This terrace would be a flat crescent. Col. T. then produced a letter he had received from Lord Melville, and read an extract which he said gave hint much plea aure. Ile must confess that a subsequent part to which he should On Sunday morning, between four and five o'clock, the have occasion to refer presently, caused him proportionate regret: for he well knew the just and proper influence which the optrion undertaker and his assistants arrived at the C aledonian in t . has of that ettli ditched and intelligent Nobleman most have upon the Hotel, to prepare or p acing the y f l ' Royal hotl y ' h• public mind.

VAUXHALL GARDENS. • These gardens pialeented last night a concentration of beauty, elegance and fashion. It was the anniversary of the coronation ; the proprietors had spared neither expense nor exertion to do honour to it, and they succeeded most effectually. The illuminations were of the most sp!endiel description. The most attractive was that which announced the object of the gala, " In honour of the King our Pa tron," which was most brilliantly variegated, and had a very splendid effect. The other additional illuminations were on an equally brilliant scale. The entertainments were of the usual - description ; but the singers and per formers acted as though fresh vigour and spirit had heme infused into them by the occasion ; the exertions of Miss Witham and Miss Waite were particularly applauded. In , dead, the whole of the vocal depattment gave great and universal satisfaction. The pantomime, too, was very well I got up. We never before witnessed such an immense attendance at Vauxhall, and every one seemed pleased and satisfied. 'Fite fire-works were not the least part of the attraction ; at the period of their exhibition we suppose there were not less than 6,000 persons in the gardens. Among the company we observed Lord Godolphin, (:csin tess of NienOip, Sir David, Lady, and the Misses Ogilby, Miss Itlanne ' Sir Charles Forbes, Sir Matthew Tierney, i Sir Edward Stanhope, Lord Clanricarde, lion. Frederick West, I. eely liadstack, lion. Cavendish Bradshaw, Mr. Baron Bullock, the Misses Fitaclarenee, &c. The pro menade at the conclusion of the fire-works was exceedingly splendid. A NIVI I' ERS .4 R3' of lIISMAJESTY'S CORO VA TION Yesterday the anniversary festival in amnmemmation of the Co ronation of his 3laiesty George the Fourth was celebrator] by the gentlemen members. of the Coronation Fleet, at the Ship Tavern, Thames-street, when s highly respectable and numerous attendance took place, amongst whom we noticed many naval officers, and gen- ' denten of the Whitehall and other sailing matches. At five O'clock the company sat down to a most sumptuous din ner, consisting of every delicacy in season. Sir FIiANCIS OM MAW XEY. Bart. in the Chan. After the cloth was removed, several ropes were sung by Mr. Bryant, Mr. Gibbon, and other vocal Gentlemen. After which Enw art n NE re Leroy it, Esq.

The King's health was then Muck with four times four. The band then struck up "Gal save the King." " The Dike oft tole and the A rituy," with three times three. " The Luke of Clarence and the Nary," with three times three. "Success to his Majesty's Coronation Fleet," and o her loyal and patriotic toasts were drunk. The worthy Commodore then rose, and after drinking the health I of the Chairman. said, he regretted, that in consequence of high water not answering or that day, the superb silver cup and cover in ended to be sailed for in honour of his Majesty's coronation was postponed till Thursday next. lle then read the rules and regula tions of the Society. The cup and rover weighs near 70 (einem, and has the Royal Arms engraved on one side, and a sunsble inscription on the other, to be sailed torby gentlemen's pl asure vessels, not exceeding twenty tins each; and no vessel to be allowed to sail, or entitled to the prize, that has been the wiener of any silver cup given by the coronation fleet; not even if such vessel since that event has changed owners, or on any other pretence whatever until the end of seven years, commencing with the year Il 2f, at the red of which period a gold or superb silver cup will be given, to be sailed for by the winning vessels of (between previous years ; the owners of such winning vessels are to be members of this fleet from the first of its establialiment, or if admitted afterwards, to pry the sante number of years annual subscription, by way of entrance to ! sail, that has been paid by the members from the commencement of such establishment ; and ro vessel will he entitled to the prier ! but gentlemen's pleasure vessels, kept and used by their respective owners, for the purpose of pleasure only. After Mr. NETTLEFOUTI had read the rules of the Society several appropriate songs were sung, and the remainder of the even ing was spent with the greatest harmony and conviviality. PLAN FOR THE .
