Mr. OTWAN CAVE, on piesenting a petition from Leicestershire, and after making a few obser vations on the illegality of enslaving British born sub jects, stated, that from what had come to his know ledge of the very strong feeling throughout the coun try In favour of the Resolutions which he had lately the honour of submitting to the House, he felt it to be his duty, in deference to that feeling, to perse vere in his efforts in again bringing forward that measure, notwithstanding the unfavourable vote which the House had come to upon it. He therefore gave notice, that -early in the next Session, he would renew his motion for the protection in their rights, as British subjects, of all negro children born after a certain thy within the Icing's dominions. Mr. M. CHOLMONDELEY expressed his great regret at not having been present when his Hon. Friend's motion was brought forward, as he should have been proud and happy to have given it his humble support. Colonel DAVIES gave notice, he should _next Session draw the attention of the House to the sub ject of prison discipline and secondary classes of punishment. The House then went into Committee on Stork's Divorc Bill. Evidence was heard at the bar of the House. The report was ordered to be brought up on Monday. The House adjourned at ten minutes past Eight o'clock. NEW LONDON BRIDGE APPROACHES' BILL. COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS. On the a ssembling of the Committee yesterday afternoon, Mr. JOY, as Counsel for the parishes of St. Magnus and St. Margaret, which claimed compensation, withdrew his opposition. If any alteration were made in the Bill, by the introduction of any proposed new Clause in it, while in that Committee, the Bill must be lost, and the under taking delayed. He had, therefore, consented to withdraw from any further opposition, on a distinct understanding that a new Bill would be introduced next Session, in which there would be an opportunity given for the full hesring of his clients, and the admission of whatever secu rities fur compensation they might prove themselves entitled to. He consented because he considered that his clients could sustain no injury from the delay. The 3larquis of LONDONDERRY, in behalf of the other parishes which were in a like situationnot the l --and although they had not appeared b y Counsel, were ess to their Lordships' consideration --consented to waive further opposition. He did so upon the same understanding as that expressed by the Learned Counsel. Mr. Ttroasiumr.., on behalf of the inhabitants of the Ward of Bridge, cheerfully consented to hold over their cause until the next igession, when he was sure, from the patient attention which he had already received, they would then receive from their Lordships the best consideration of their ca,e—and that whatever they proved themselves en titled to would be cheerfully awarded to them. The Duke of WELIINGTOIC, and several others of his Majesty's Ministers, expressed their assent, and the parties APPROACHES TO THE NEW LONDON BRIDGE BILL. Memorandum of an Agreement between Edward Tyrell. Rememlirancer, and other Gentlemen, on the part o' the city of London, and Mr. Gregson, on the part of the Coal-owners petitioning against the Bill, now pend ing in the House of Lords, for making Approaches to London Bridge:- 1. The city to enter into an engagement with the Lards of the Treasury, not to proceed in the execution of the plan for the approaches, without the previous consent of the Treasury, and only under such limitations as they may direct. 2. That by a Bill to be brought into Parliament in the next Session, all the duties, revenues, and rent-charges now constituting the income of the Orphans Fund, shall be made applicable to defray the e xpenditure of these ap proaches, from the time whe❑ those funds shall have been liberated from the charges to which they are now appi o- priated. B. That in addition to these funds the city shall contri bute to this service one-half of the clear profits which may arise to them from the tolls, &cc., of Fleet-market. 4. That the revenues of the Bridge-house Estates shall be made liable to the same charges, to the extent to which any sums can be raised upon the credit of the rentals for that purpose, awl by application of any surplus of those rentals after satisfying the prior charges upon them. 5. That in addition to the charge fur making the ap proaches to the bridge, the sum of 250,0001. in respect of alterations and improvements in Fleet-market shall be charged upon the funds abovementioned.

His MAJESTY and his distinguished visitors after attending Ascot Heath Races on Thursday afternoon returned to the Royal Lodge, in Windsor Park, where the , KING gave a grand dinner. The Duke of BUCCLEUGIi and some other Noblemen and Gentlemen, were added to the KING'S former party. In the evening the private band were in attendance, and played several charming pieces; the company formed themselves into sets for quadrilles in the course of the night. Occasional quadrilles were followed by waltzing. Yesterday morning, at half-past twelve o'clock, his MarEszc and visitors left the Royal Lodge, in seven carriages and four, to attend the Races. The Duchess of KENT honoured the per. fermance at the Italian Opera House, for the hermit of Mademoiselle SONTAG, on Thursday evening, with her presence. Several military Officers, who had been in vited to the grand dinner given by the Duke of WELLING TON. on Thursday, as being the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, did not arrive at his Grace's residence, in Downing-street, till after nine o'clock, having been de tained on the road in returning from Ascot Races. In the course of the evening his Grace handed to the assembled company an etching (completed the day previous) of Mr. WLLKIE's celebrated picture -" Chelsea Pensioners reading the Gazette of the Battle of Waterloo," engraved by Mr. JOHN - BURNET.

It seems that the prosecution of Mr. LAW LESS has been determined upon, and with what soundness of policy is a question which every well-wisher to the peace of Ireland is hourly put- ting to himself. The great object of the Catholic Relief Bill was the suppression of all those bad and unsocial feelings which characterized the community of Ireland for a long and dismal in terval—the tranquillity of Ireland was the object of that great legislative measure ; but how can this object, so desirable, be obtained, if the men who were the most forward in the promoting of Emancipation, are doomed to be the victims of a Crown prosecution ? The charge against Mr. LA w- LESS is, that in the months of August and Sep te►nber last, he proceeded at the head of an im- meme multitude of the Irish population through certain counties iii the north of Ireland, organizing the Catholic rent, and rousing the public mind to petition for Catholic Emancipation. It is true the multitudes which followed Mr. LAWLESS in his northern mission were unexampled. He there developed a feeling in favour of Irish free- dom which the common enemy were astonished at—but it is equally true that, with the exception of one instance, we believe at Ballibay, (where the imprudence of the injured party was the principal cause of the calamity) there was not a single finger hurt during Mr. LAW LESS'S progress through the North ; but we have heard that in the counties of Meath, and Lowth, and Monaghan, he was most suc cessful in the suppression of .gibbon Associa tions,—those secret and pernicious confedera cies, which caused such terror in every place in which they existed. These associations Mr. LAWLESS in many instances put down by his animated and eloquent appeals to the people, from' the altars of the respective chapels he vi sied. We understand these facts will be clearly established in evidence. It will be also proved, that in every town and parish he visited, he was accompanied by the Magistracy,--many of whom, Mr. JOHN M'CLINTocK, of the 1 county Louth, in particular, complimented Mr. LAWLESS on the conciliatory and kind spirit in which he executed the duties of his mission. Much better there were no necessity for such inquiries and such details—much better that the past should be forgotten, and that a new book, with Ireland . and her agitators, was Opened, in which the events of the future should alone be recorded. AB men, of all denominations, could then start fair in the race of patriotism—tile Pro testant, and Catholic, and the Dissenter, could then run together, and the race be won, not by the favourite or the parasite of power, but by the man of talent, of industry, and public integrity. We therefore have no hesitation in . lamenting such a prosecution as that against Mr. LAWLESS, not so much for the sake of that gentleman, who will, perhaps, not be much lowered in the con fidence of his countrymen by such a proceeding, but for the sake of that nationai harmony and good humour which it is the interest of the em pire and ttie•Qpvernment to preserve uninter rupted. 'Such prosecutions as those we now de , scribe, are beneath the character of a magnani mous and e nlightened Cabinet. French Papers are only remarkable for one fact, the great depression of the Rentes Perpetuelles, which fell on the 17th from 49 to 451; they were for an instant even at 44i, FRIENCII FUNDL—PARis, JUNE 17.—Five per Cents. 108 f. 60c. ; Three per Cents., 79f. 15c. ; ntples "Stock, 85f. 25c. ; Royal Spanish Loan, 68ff. ; Spanish Rente Perpetuelle, 45if. ; Haytian Loan, 470 f. ; Exchange on London, one month, 25f. 44c.; three months, 25f. 30c.— Cour: Authentique. The Allgetne i ne Zeitung to the 14th inst.' contains the following extracts : ANCONA, MAY2B•--A ll the letters from the lonian Islands agree that the difficulties which lately arose be tween the Commanders of the ga g lith and Russian squa drons were adjusted, and that Sir P. Malcclrn and Count Heyden perfectly agreed, since the Russians confine thztri, selves to the blockade of the Dardanelles. On the other band, the Greeks complain bitterly of the new English pro clatnatioz, which declares all the blockades instituted by the Greeks invalid with respect to the coasts and porty•not included in the Morea and the Cyclades, because they are deprived by this measure of the fruit pf al', the advantages on the continent of Greece which they have so deatly earned, and their future destiny is exposed to great risk in the negociations to be opened at Constantinople. It is said that they are resolved to exert themselves to the utmost, both by negotiation and arms, to preserve the positions they have taken in Livadis, Albania, and Thesssly. !t asserted that Count Capo d'lstria will again apply to the Great Powers, and endeavour to obtain the revocation of an ordinance which endangers the dearest interests of Greece. The Count is said to be resolved to lay down the.office of President, if lie cannot succeed in prevailing on the Cabinets to give their protection to Greece with out limitation : he does not think he can govern without this extensive guarantee. The French agents in Greece are reported to participate in the views of the President in this respect, but to be of opinion that he must remain at the head of the Government, and without regard to that procla mation prosecute the military operations, because the exten sion of the frontiers of Greece to the Gulfs of Arta and Vol° is considered in France as necessary to the tranquillity of the East, and no European_POwer will employ force to deprive the Greeks of the - advantages* gained by them on the continent, and oblige them to evacuate those countries. It seems that the Greek Commanders act on this principle, though the last protocol signed at London, with which Count Capo d'lstria is already acquainted, expressly re quires the evacuation by the Greeks of the provinces of the Greek continent. This stipulation seems to have for its object to facilitate the negociations to be opened at Con stantinople, it being assumed at London as a principle that a valid establishment of the Greek state cannot be effected with the concurrence of the Porte, and that the latter will not agree to it, so long as it sees the GI eeks un der arms. JAssY, MAY 26.—1 t is reported here that the garrison of Silistria made a sally on the 23d, and got possession of some Russian redoubts, which were recovered by the Bus_ sinus, after an obstinate engagement. The Russian General Parowski is said to be wounded, and a Turkish Aga to have been made prisoner. It is also affirmed that the van guard of the Grand Vizier's army, coming from Shumla, has approached Silistria. The Rusian flotilla on the Da nube• already - bombards Silistria, and it is thought that the main attack will be made from that side. We have nothing official, however, respecting these reported events, and therefore they much need confirma tion.• Some houses here have letters from Odessa, which mention a report of a naval action in which Admiral Greigh had captured many ships.f. General Paskewitsch, too, is said to have engaged and defeated the Turks in ad vance of Akhalzik. The water of the Danube is un commonly high, and it is apprehended that this circum stance may interrupt the communications with the right bank of the Danube, and throw difficulties in the way of the works for the siege of Silistria. VIENNA, JUNE B.—Metalliques, no price quoted; Bank Shares, 1,116. The Russian bulletins from the camp before Silistria, hitherto received, are of the 18th, 22d, and 29th May. t The accounts from Odessa to the end of May, men tion the burning of a sixty-gun-ship in port, and the cap ture of some coasting vessels. That flagrant and unjustifiable Bill for the enclosure of Hampstead Heath—though Mr. SPENCER PERCEVAL, with singular ingenuity, discovered that it was a Bill for something ,else — was last night thrown out in the Commons. Few things of late have given us greater pleasure than this. The heath, like the hill . at Rich mond, is the pride of upwards of a million of respectable Londoners ; they resort to it as a place of agreeable relaxation, after the fatigues of a day, a week, or a season of hard labour— they consider it, in fact, as the Montpellier of Middlesex, and no one who knows anything of human nature, • or has the slightest sympathy with the harmless amusements of his fellow creatures, can do otherwise than condemn a Bill whose main, though scarcely avowed object, is to curtail, if not to annihilate them altogether. Surely it is high time that this rage fur building, this architectural influenza should stop. Already it has suffocated the fresh _air that used to circulate freely through the me trapolis from the South, the East, and the West, and should it now succeed in tainting the " Hygeian " breezes of the North, the most opulent men in London will be the physician and the undertaker, THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE o' Ciocr. Quebec Papers to the 21st May, and Montreal to the same date, have been received at the North and South'Aine.. rican Coffee-house, as well as Sincapore Papers to the '7th Febi nary, but they are barren of information of any con sequence. (From the Quebec Papers.) MONTREAL, MAY 13.—At the end of last Week the weather resembled July, and now it is snore like March ; yesterday morning some snow fell, On the 10th and 11th inst. a fresh Easterly wind brought up seventeen vessels from sea, which has caused our ports to resume a crowded and busy appearance. The 68th Regiment have received orders to proceed form this province, Upper Canada, to Lower Canada, and are to be stationed at Montreal. (From the Sincapore Papers to Feb. 1. ) The weather here for some time has been very rainy and cold.. We regret to learn the loss is the-neighbour hood of the port of a Portuguese brig, called Diuradd. She left Macao on the 18th inst., bound for Bombay. We understand that only one man was drowned. The brig had a valuable cargo of dollars on board ; report says five hun dred thousand, and hopes are entertained of saving them. The Hastings and Nuchir brigs have sailed in quest of the wreck, accompanied by the deputy master. The Quebec paper of the 20th May says, that a safety vault for depositing the moneys of the Receiver-General of the Provinces, has been commenced in the lower part •f the old Chateau close to the Gate. We have several arrivals this morning of ship -letters from Bombay of the '7th February, and Calcutta 18th February, which are only a few days later than the last accounta, but they do not bring any information of conse quence. We have also a Lisbon mail. The private let ters from Oporto of the 2d instant are silent in regard to politics, as they are af,•aid to write. It appears that 92 ships had arrived at Quebec in seven days, which has greatly revived the trade of that port. The Consol Market still continues in the same state of inactivity as for several days past. It opened at 881 for the Account; and the Foreign Market is, alp fo the pre sent time, almost deserted.

COURT OF CHANCERY. The Court proceeded with Appeals to-day, but nothing of any public interest had occurred when we left at half past one o'clock. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. Nothing of importance took place in this Court to-day. CONSISTORY COURT. WRIGHT V. ELLWooD, FALSELY CALLING iiititsELF WRIGHT. The KI,NG'S Anvocaut stated, this was "a suit instituted by Mr. Wright, for the purpose of obtaining a Decree of the Court, declaring his marriage null and void, by reason of undue publication of banns. The lady, Emily Ellwood, described herself as a spinster, when in fact, at the time the banns were published, she was a married woman, and her husband was living. Dr. Anams, who appeared for the lady, admitted that her husband was living at the time of publication of banns between her and Mr. Wright, but stated•that he died pre vious to the marriage taking place, she was therefore a widow at the time, and would the Court say, that a female describing herself as a spinster in the publication of banns, when in fact she was a widow, would be sufficient to de clam the marriage null and void. The KING'S ADVOCATE was aware the Court would have great difficulty in the case of a widow describing herself a spinster, but here the female was a married woman, and if that fact had been known it would have been competent for any person to have forbid the banns. The Couail,(Dr. ILushington) thought in all [such suits as the present, the greatest caution ought to be ob served in all the proceedings, as it not only went to sepa rate the parties, but to make their children illegitimate. He did not think the citation in this case had been regu lar, and therefore should dismiss the wife from the suit. Several motions of course wore then disposed of, and the Court adjourned at half-past ten o'clock. COURT OF COAIMON PLEAS. KIMBLE V. FARREN. Mr. Sergeant Wl►.ns applied this morning in this case, which it will be recollected was tried a short time since for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be increased from 7501 to 1,0001. _ _ The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE enquired if the case had not been carried beyond the authority of the Court by tendering of a bill of exception? Mr. Sergeant WILDE observed that he had tendered no bill of exception. He made the present motion on the ground that the penalty mentioned in the agreement, for the breach of which the action was brought, was for the larger sum ; and the Learned Sergeant contended that it was not competent for the Jury to give a less sum.—Rule IVisi granted. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. ALEXANDER V. LAWSON. The plaintiff, a Jew, applied for a rule to allow cause why he should not he discharged out of custody, under the Lords' Act. His affidavit stated that he had entered an action against the proprietors of the Times newspaper, for a libel. He had lost the action, and been confined-for the defendants' costs till the Ist of this month, when he applied for the relief awarded by the Lords' Act, and the 'Court decided that he should be discharged, unless the de fendants undertook to allow him 3s. 6d. per week in pri son. This the defendants had consented to, and he re ceived in Court the written undertaking and the first pay ment of 3s. 6d. Since that time he had not received any thing, and there were now two weekly -payments due to him, of which he had received no information. Mr: Justice BAILEY inquired of the officer by what coueee the money so paid usually reached the prisoner, and was informed that it was usually paid to the turnkeys. Lord TENTERDEN (to Alexander),—Have you asked the turnkey if he has received it? Alexander—No, my Lord, I am not bound to do so by the Act. Lord TENTERDEN-But it is the regular course by which money reaches prisoners under such circumstances. Alexander—But I don't know my Lord, that I ana— LOld TENTERDZN—WeII, you need not enquire with out you like, but you will have no rule unless you do. The applicant then left the Court, for the purpose of enquiring. El-PASTE SMITH. . • Ir. Common Sergeant Ditlaw; moved the Court for a rule to show cause why a wt it of mandamus should not issue against the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, calling on them to account for the dismissal of Henry Carmichael Smith, one of the Paymasters of Exchequer bills. Lord TENTERDEN-1t h.s been here once before, I believe. Mr. Commost SERGEANT—Yes, my Lord, it-was here some time ago, and the Court then refused to interfere be cause it was not expressly stated that the office was a public one ; but under the 48th Geo. 111. I believe your Lord ship- will find that it is a public one, as under that Act the Commissioners of the Treasury are empowered to ap point Paymasters for that office, and under that Act they had appointed him with a salary of 400/.- per year. The Learned Counsel then contended, that the appointments under the Act were only. in relation to public officers, and that the Act did not authorise the Commissioners in . die ' missing a Paymaster from his office without having this- . conducted himself, as it did - not state any period at which the appointment should terminate. Mr. Justice -BAILEY—But how did the office originate? Because it must originate under a charter, to give a person a freehold in hit office, and enable him to obtain a - nsandasn us. Mr. ComstoN SERGEANT considered that the- only question here was whether the office was of a public na ture, as some offices in the city,,where the office of City Surveyor was considered a public one. Mr. Justice 'I:ITTLEDALIC considered that all officers connected with the public revenue, and appointed by the • Commissioners of the Treasury, were rereoveable, as the King might remove the Commissioners by whom these officers were appointed.—Rule refused. DAWSON V. MORCAN. . This action was by an indorser of a . bill of exchange against the acceptor for costs, which he had suffered by being sued by the holder of the bill. It was tried before Lord Tenterden at the last sittings, and the plaintiff non suited. Mr, PATrtsorr now moved to set aside the nonsuit, on the " ground that if an indorser was put to expence by the acceptor not honouring a bill, he ought to be allowed to recover; on the game principle as a holder could recover his costs against the acceptor. Lord TENTERDEN observed that this was quite a new experiment. It was only by the usage of merchants that the holder could recover from the acceptor, but he consi dered that the usage of merchants did not extend so far as the present case, as it would enable all indorsers, how ever many there might be, to recover their costs from the acceptor if sued by the holder.—llule refused. Juxx 19. ELLIS V. MONTAGU. 'fie ATTORNRI , GRAL moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict obtained by the plaintiff in this case should not he set aside and a new trial trial granted, on the ground that the Learned Judge (Mr. Justice Little dale) before whom the case was tried on the 10th inst. at Guildhall, had misdirected the Jury in point of law, and also that the verdict was against evidence. The action was brought to recover a large sum of money on a bill of exchange, and the defence was, that the transaction out of which the bill arose was usurious. it appeared that thedefendant (Mr. M.) was a gentleman of family, whohad fallen into difficulties, and had been confined in the Bench prison about 18 months. He had never carried on any business in the wine trade or otherwise, but being in want of a loan of money, he was introduced by a Mr. Welsh to the plaintiff, who was said to be a wine-merchant.— Welsh, it appeared, had carried on the negociation for the sale of wine, and he stated that he told the plaintiff that the defendant's object was to raise money, and that he shOuld sin the wine for that purpose. The plaintiff then said he would let the . defer`idant' bale the wine 014 such terms as would prevent his losing above 24 or 3Q per cent. A purchase was then made on the defendant's behalf of a large quantity of wine, which was soon afterwards sold, and by which the defendant was a loser to the amount of about 50 per cent. A second transaction of a similar descrip tion afterwards took place, and the defendant was again a considerable loser. He (the Attorney-General) had con tended at the trial that these sales of wine had been re sorted to as a shift for fhb purpose of lending money rt usurious interest, but he submitted that the Learned Judge had not left the question of usury properly to the Jury, and they had given their verdict against the evidence. The COURT, after hearing the Learned Counsel at some length, observed, that on the question of usury the verdict certainly appeared to be very much against the evidence, and they would therefore grant a rule Nisi. Lord fkIiTERDEN observed, that the justice of the case would be to let the verdict be reduced for the real value of the wine. Five and twenty guineas was the price asked and' paid for a baroucht and four horses for the day to Ascot. OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.)

A limited supply, and a brisk trade, THE FRENCH THEATRE.—This Theatre which, during the winter months, afforded so much amuse ment, closed last night ; and Mademoiselle JENNY VERT. rma, the life and spirit of the company, finished her en gagement. In the two little Vaudevilles, La Chatte and Yelva, she is certainly inimitable; and we hope she will renew her engagement in the ensuing year. On the fall of the'curtain, she was loudly called for; she obeyed the summons, and curtsied her thank, fur the approbation she had received. VATJXHALL GARDENS.—These delightful Gardens presented a very animated and brilliant scene last night, in commemoration of the Battle of Waterloo, and the entertainments afforded amusement to thousands of most respectable visitors. The illuminations were re markably splendid, 16,000 additional lamps being em ployed, the effect of which was considerably heightened by a tasteful intermixture of laurel. The colleen and ballet were followed by Rossm's opera of La Ceneren tola, which was very respectably performed, the principal characters being sustained by Miss F. Alai:ix, and Signors TOR,RI and PELLitcarm. The devices of the firs-works were various and admirably executed, and the Ilydropyrie Temple, which formed the climax of the whole, was ex tremely beautiful and novel. CLARE ELECTION.—The cause seems to strengthen in the progress. Mires acquirit elate° is truly its motto. Thirty-four registries at Kilrush, oa Monday, gave thirty-three additiojal voters to O'CoNnxi.t., and it should be observed that qui4irunswickers pretend that after Ennistymon there iv** Eo O'CoNNELL voters to be expected. In short, the game is more than up, and. we have stow only to reckon our assured majority , and laugh at our discomfited opponents. Mr. O'CoNisitm. haying had already his triumph, is expected in town this day.—Dublin Morning Register. THE REV. MR. GRADY.—Qn Sunday an inquest was held on the remains of this estimable gentle man, 4t Carrick-on-Suir, when, after many witnesses had been examined, the Jury returned the following verdict : g‘ We find that the deceased came by his death by a fall from his horse whilst riding through the streets of Car rick-on-Suir, on the Bth instant, in discharge of his ma gisterial duty."—Dublin Morning Register. CHARLES RICHARDS, the man who was indicted yesterday at the Old Bailey, for a rape on the body of a child only seven y - ,art) of age, was ft:4lnd guilty, and sentenced to death. At the Insolvent Debtors' Court yesterday, FRANCES WELLINGTON CAMPBELL, who was opposed on behalf of three creditors, was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment from the date of filing her petition. It is now reported that Dr. BAGOT, Dean of Canterbury, is to be the new Bishop of OxFoam...Morn ing Payet. The Horticultural Society have their breAfast on the 27th inst.—this day week. Messrs. GUNTER, we understand, will have the arrangement of it. It is ex pected to be a very splendid set out. The descending Mont Blanc is considered exceedingly dangerous to persona of an apoplectic tendency, the great r arification of air increasing those symptom* to an alarming degree. Mrs. Woop, of liope-street, Walworth-eom moo,was yesterday delivered of three female children, %a orwh6m-were alive and likely to do well. TO RIGHT HON. AND NOBLE LADIES OF GREAT BRITAIN. MR. EDITOR,—A Lady, who subscribed herself ita right, independent, and loyal Englishwoman to an *reds inserted in a Sunday Paper of the 17th ult. addressed to the Ladies of England, has most indisputably formed 8 very just opinion of the precarious state of British uts° ll. factures en ntas..,e, and advanced many truly logical P er ': soasives for remedying such unprecedented grievance . ' among which is a singularly energetic appeal to bee countrywomen, that they r should discontione Weary ) ; articles of foreign manufacture. But, speaking of one liu ole ' not far from St. James's Palace, which the lady informs ° had amassed such a stock of Silks as were, perhaps, ne" r , before shown at any depot in Europe, either for beautY°.' elegance, but she did not add CIIKAPNISS (which at crisis more especially is so important.) This lady furth er observes, that beyond the royal favour, even the extra!e: dinary exertions and expence incurred, failed to attention or procure any degree of remuneration; tb e ' adds, that although the Drawing-room followed, tn' t splendid collection did not furnish more than from six W , ten customers for the articles provided. This is the 0 1 11 . paragraph for which the Lady has not assigned a resa' and desirous that your numerous readers may derive the necessary information on this, the most essential of 01; the following obvious reason is assigned, viz. :—A gr e# proportion of the dresses which graced the Drawing-roo t°, and, indeed, which grace every fashionable resort, wt,,r e ' and are, furnished by Messrs. WAGNER and CflAr MAN, Emporium, Greek-street, Sobs, that /lingual?' Modes being so universally proverbial for great variety, ° well as splendour, beauty, excellence, and, ftbeve all, ex" creme cheapness; and, moreover, the Proprietors, to ' ll/. . utmost of their power, encourage and promote the diffinn°7 of the manufactures of their own nation and it is a ll ' peculiar satisfaction that they attest, to the honour of i l l British Ladies, that the principal part of the nobility 6 ' l gentry, who patronise them, give a most decided preferel° to the manufactures of the United Kingdom. June 4th. VERITAS. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT RACES. The meeting terminated yesterday with a very comfort able day's sport. It could not be expected that the attend' ance would, in any degree, equal the preceding noes' Every thing was dull yesterday. The extraordinary el" citement of the Gold Cup having given place to the other extreme, and to add to the dullness of the affair' the stakes were unimportant, and the horses of an inferior c lol ' Even the presence of his Majesty seemetd• to have lesii fluence than usual, although every possible demonstratt O of loyalty and attachment was paid him. There was n °. thing in the approach of the Royal procession to diet''' . guish it from the other days—the same suite and the s loe number of equipages. Several Noblemen and Gentlone ° were introduced ; the Marquis of Cleveland and the Vet t Mr. Thornhill being of the number. The latter gentle man had the honour of a long conversation with his M' jesty, and, judging from the hearty laughter which accosn' panied it, the subject must have been a merry one. Hid Majesty did not remain long, the races affording nothieg worth seeing after the Wokingham stakes, shortly afte r which he departed. It would be useleia to repeat the names of the visitors; we need only refer to our former accounts, as most of the nobility enumerated'in then w i r e again present. The following is a correct return of the running.:-T- - Match for 200 soya. It. Old mile. Mr. Payne's Privateer received Mr. Thornhill's Mariner paid is-Majesty's Plate of 100 guineas for hunters.

A pretty race between these two termiaT; in favour of Job by a length through the OP ° , jockeyship of Goodisota. The folly of gentlemen their own horses when opposed to jockeys was eiriat i in this race. Had Rembrandt been rode by a regular jockey he must have won, for he was decidotilttlain . horse in the race, and CUleman brought him to. - therri in beautiful condition. When the struggle tooklisce t i : , the end the gentleman jockey was rolling about like a owr, in a storm every body looking for both horse and ri4,' to go down. Nothing saved them but luck.
