The House of Commons adjourned yesterday to Wednesday, by which time it is expected the Lords will have passed the whole of the Bills now before them ; and there is no doubt of the Prorogation taking place before the close of next Week. At a late, hour on Thursday night Mr. MAn 'WALL, the Consul at Calais, (not at Cadiz, ns stat ed in some of the Papers), arrived at the Foreign Office with dispatches from Sir CUARLES STUART. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Fo reign Office, from Spain, transmitted by Sir CHARLES STUART from Paris. At half-past one Ministers assembled at Mr. Secretary CANNING'S .Office, to deliberate upon them. At the time when the other members of the holy Alliance withdrew their Ambassadors from the Court of Stutgard, that of France, we believe, retired upon a pretence of visiting his father at Vienna. Whether the visit continues still, we know not; but we have heard that M. Mullinen, the Wurtetnberg . Ambassador at Paris, quitted that capital on Monday last.---( Times.)

Lieutenant PEARCE was attended by his brother; 'and Lieutenant GILL. of the ordi nary, of this port; Lieutenant HAvitoNs was at tended by Lieutenant MEARES of the royal marines. Upon their taking their ground the peace-officers made their appearance, and suc ceeded in detaining four of the Gentlemen.

On the re turn of his mother, he was found weltering in his blood, on the p a rlour,floor : .surgical aid was in stantly called in, and the incision sewed up, but (here was very slight hope of his recovery. THE KING'S AQUATIC EXCURSIONS. [Extract (#. a Letter from Portsmouth. July 10.] Rear-Admiral, Sir CUABL ES PAGET daily exercises the ROyal Squadron to ascertain their trim. The Royal Sovereign this day came into harbour to have some necessary alterations, when the squadron will be ready to receive his MAJESTY, who is expected here the day after the Prorogation of Parliament. THE KING'S ENTERTAINMENT. [FURTHER PARTICULARS.] The grand dinner given by the KING on Thursday took place in the State Room called the Octagon Room ; from its situation in the Palace it is peculiarly well adapted for the en tertainment of such a numerous assemblage. The Royal ban quet was most splendidly served up in the State plate, and was most tastefully displayed. The whole was brilliantly illu minated with wax. The dessert was of the most choice fruits from the Royal Gar dens of Kensington, Kew, Hampton Court, and Windsor. The pines from Kensington were particularly fine and large ; they were reared under the superintendence of Mr..Ayton, the Royal gardener. All the State rooms which were opened on the occasion, as well as. the Octagon Hall, were perfumed with growing choice flowers and plants, also front the Royal gardens. The military band attending the King's Gnani were stationed in the gardens at the back of the Palace, anti played various marches, overtures, &c. The music with which the dinner and evening parties were gratified, was composed by some of the most eminent Composers, particularly glee music, both modern and ancient. This style of composition is almoSt peculiar to this country; anti his Majesty's example in encouraging national music we hope will be followed by sonic of our Nobility, at whoie Concerts foreigners only are engaged. The performer/ at his Majesty's party were—Masters Wesley and Card, Messrs.W. Knyvett, Terrail, Vaughan, Hawes, T. Welsh, and J. B. Sale ; Sir G. Smart and Mr. Attwootl presided at the Grand Piano-forte. The performance commenced with the Invocation to Har mony—Come all noble souls, followed by Glorious Apollo, Webbe—The red Rose. %V. Knyvett—Come buy my Cherries, Sir J. Stevenson—ln peace love's tunes, A ttwood—The Squir rel, Sir Cr. Smart—Since first I saw your face-When winds breathe soft, Webbe—The mighty Conqueror. The performance closed about twelve o'clock.

This art has been now carried to such an extent as hardly to admit or improvement in force and beauty. It is equally well adapted to all subjects, whether his torical, portraiture, the animal world in general, or landscape. Many admirable specimens in all these provinces have been presented to the public, and have , afforded great pleasure to the artist, as well as to the amateur. We have seen some beauti ful specimens of, this style of engraving from Lady CHARLES LONG, from drawings by her own ad mirable pencil. The latest works of this kind which we have seen are the production of Mr. WARD, R.A. whose skill as an engraver was conspicuous before he devoted himself to Paint lug, in which he has displayed equal ability, and now deservedly ranks amongst the most distin guished of British artists ; we cannot pay a higher tribute to our countryman. Mr. Waal) has recently produced, four lithographic prints, from his own paintings, in which he has been a powerful rival to himself, in precision, beauty, and forcible effect, and may fairly be presumed to have raised the art to the utmost degree of perfection. The subject of the first two prints are MONITOR and SOOTHSAYER, the property of his MAJESTY ; the third is PRIMROSE (a brood mare) and FOAL, which belong to the Duke of GRAFTON, and PnANTom, a celebrated racer, the property of Sir Joux SHELLEY, Bart., M. P. It is impossible for engraving, of any species, to excel these admirable prints in beauty,. promi nence, and vivid effect. The horses seem actually alive, and the back-grounds are nil appropriate and pleasing. Mr. Winn, it seems, means to complete a series of twelve horses also taken from his own pictures, of subjects equally celebrated. ) and the whole will form a valuable addition to any graphic collection. We ought not to conclude this article without a due tribute to Mr. ACKER MANN, who has now been so long in this country, and is so thoroughly imbued with Englis,h prin. ciples and habits, that we may deem him a native. To Mr. ACKERMANN are we indebted for the translation of a complete ,Course of LITHO GRAPHY, containing clear and explicit instruc tions in all the different branches and manners of that art, with illustrative specimens of draw ings, and a History of Lithography, from its origin to the present time with a portrait of the inventor, ALOIS SENEFELDIIU, and anecdotes of his life. This is a valuable, useful, and interest ing work. We ought not to conclude without suggesting, that, as England does not produce any LITHOGRAPHIC Stones, it would be for the honour of the country and the art if the heavy duty were removed which is imposed on the im portation, and which must necessarily operate as a check on its progress. 4 -3 :• 7 41 1 " ' ' , 43 1i ;11 '. 1 ' tirw't'.. 4 l •\ .. ui_ , . 1 ... .-- 71 ,,,, ....0 •-- ..• ....: - 7F - . ..- 4 0N , ~...,:„. i.,,, A „ -..- - ,--, , ,,, t . ...-ik 4. 4. 4.. , fr , ~..

CROLY, Author of Paris, The Angel of the• World, Cataline, Ste.] EVENING. When evcis purpling clitrand cave, Thoughts of the heart how soft ye flow ! Not softer on the western wave, The golden lines of sunset glow. Then all by chance or fate removed, - Like spirits crowd upon the eye; The few we liked—the one we loved, And the whole heart is memory. And life is like this fading hour, Its beauty dying as we gaze, Yet as the shadows round us lower, Heaven pours above the brighter blaze. When morning sheds its gorgeous dye, Our hope, our heart, to earth is given, But dark an di lonely is the eye, That turns not, as its eve,.to heaven. BEAUTY. I've seen the eye or sunny blue, And lips like rubies' dipt in dew; And locks in sunny radiance wreathing, And forms, like alabaster breathing; And felt that Beauty never stole A lasting fetter on the soul ; As lightning swift, and five as wind, The mind alone can chain the mind. It is not in the witchery Of rosy lip, or azure eye, Nor in the deeper sacrifice Of cheeks-abashed, and whisper'd sighs.. Light as the summer -meteor's glance It startles from the tempting trance; Or won ;—as quickly lost as won, Waves its bright pinion, and is gone. Where then to find the spell that flings The fetter on those wavering wings ? 'Tis in the native truth of heart, That scorns the thought of female art, That keenly thrilled by joy or pain Disdains the thrill to hid or feign ; And anxious but one heart to more, Toils not for triumph, but for love. On his wild pliime this fetter twine The wanderer's thine, and ever thine ! *.* It may not be deemed reprehensibly obtrusive to observe, that it is probable the second Poem was suggested by the do mestic felicity of the author.

Quicke and `:Alen, the Examinators; the Rev. C. B. Henville Vice-Warden of Winchester ; and the Rev. lir. Gabel!, dead Master of Winchester, held the an nual Viiitation for the election of Fellows and Scholars to New College, and for .Scholars to Winchester. The election com menced with the Latin oration (Ad Portas), spoken by Mr. Tremenheere, the senior boy or Captain of the School, which he delivered with his accustomed excellences and spoke with much justice of the many excellent qualifications of the War den of New College, who visited for the first time in his situa tion of Warden. On Wednesday, after Chapel, the prizes for Composition and Elocution were adjudged as follows , _ viz.:-_ To Mr. Henry D av i son ( son of r..Davison, of Whitefriars), a gold medal, for a Latin Essay, " Virorum illustrium minima qureque vitia statim in oculos hominum incorrunt." To Mr. Tremenheere '(son of Colonel Tremenheere, R.M.) a gold medal, for a copy of English Verses on " The Death of Lady Jane Grey." To Mr. H. Le Mesurier, a silver medal for speaking, " Hannibalis de pace Omtio," and a silver medal. to Mr. James Corry Connellan, .for reciting the speech of " Titus Quinctitts to the Ilomans, when the igaut and Volsci were ravaging their territory to the very gates of the City." On Friday morning the election finished, when it was found that Messrs. Meech and Ekins had becu elected Fellows, and Mr. Tremenhee re , sc h o l ar o f N ew C o ll, an d a l so that Mr. W. Bayley (son to Dr. Bayley, Head-Master of Midhurat School) would succeed to a scholarship in the course of the year, as a vacancy would be m a de by the resignation of Dr. Gabel!, who gave notice that he should resign his situation after the next half year; he will then have completed the 14th year of his. Head-Mastership (having succeeded Dr. Goddard at Christmas, 11109), with great advantage to the School, and it is to be hoped with profit to himself. The Rev. David Williams, the Under-Master, is a candidate for the Head-Mastership ; and it is reported that Messrs. Ridding, Bury, and Wickham, are candidates to suc ceed Mr. Williams, in case he should be elected to the Head- Mastership, of which there seems to be little doubt, as few Gentlemen are so well qualified to fill the Head-Master's Chair as himself. The Domurn will be this evening, after which the Superannuates give a ball and supper at the White hart, which is expected to be well attended. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

At the close of the poll on Saturday evening, the numbers were—for Mi. Knight, 131—Mr. Strong, 123. The case of every one oft'ering to poll is minutely scrutinized by Counsel. Yesterday, the 10th instant, the new Chapel, attached to the College of St. Gregory, at Downside, near this city, was opened for - dedication by the Right Rev. Dr. Baines, and assistant Ministers, with a solemn Pontifical service and full choir. The chapel is a beautiful and pure specimen of airy Gothic, a style so admirably adapted to sacred struc tures, and was built under the immediate superintend mice of Mr. Ooodridge, junior, of this city,, and called forth the most unqualified praise from the numerous and distinguished company assembled.

On 'Wednesday her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, accompanied by Princess feixlor, Prince Leopold, and Sir Ro bert Gardiner, paid a visit to Admiral Lord ilatlstock, at his house in 'Portland-place, in order to view his Lordship's Gallery of Paintings, which are allowed to be, in point of number, one of the finest collections in London.

VOLCANO OF HAS HEN ISLANI)S.—This volcano was visited by Captain WI:HST - RR, of' the Juliana, in March last. Having entered a small bay, with the view of landing, they were, at 'the distance of one hundred yards from the shore, assailed by a hot puff' of wind, and, upon dipping their fingers into the water, they were surprised to find it as shot almost as if it had been boiling. The stones on shore, and the rocks exposed to the ebbing of the tide, were smoking and hissing, and the water bubbling all round them. The cone appeared from hence about one.lburth of a mile ills tent. Having landed in a cove, they ascended a precipice, hold ing by the grass that grew out of the ashes, and having reached the top, after no slight danger, they found a small tree under the shade of which they had a full view of the volcano. Its height is about half a mile. The diameter of the base-is supposed to be about 300 yards, and about 30 at the top, the whole of' the space seeming to be occupied with the mouth. It discharged continually a thin white smoke. The cone stands in the centre of an amphitheatrelof hills, which nearly close around it. In order to examine the crater, Captain W. ascended thirty or forty yards, sinking ancle deep in ashes at each step, but he found ft im possible to reach the mouth. SMART REPLY.—BUONAPA RTC is MS ittSt in. terview with General KnoblesdorfF, displiqed that angry and intemperate folly, which on some fbrmer occasions, had be trayed the weakness of his understanding. IVhile the veteran Minister wax repeating some of the requisitions of his Court, Buonaparte contemptuously interrupted him, and after a violent apostrophe against the Prussian Government, added, "Prussia is merely a watch,and whoever winds it up will set it a-going." " True," replied Knoblesdorif, " my country is a watch, but please to observe it is .a repeater, and if wound up, it will strike." - Y111: SAW Foil 10).--A carpenter of a ship lost a saw, and his suspicion fell on a negro boy, who was the Captain's tier. varft.

I THE ARMY. GRAND nEvigw IN HYDE PARK. [FURTH ER PA wricuLAits.]—Yesterday morn• ing his Royal Highness the COMMA N D Elt.IN-CIII EY reviewed all the Foot Guards now in town in this beautiful Pak!' The linenessof the morning attracted an immense concourse of 'per. sons to view this very imposing military spectacle, among whom were a great number of elegantly dressed females. At nip e o'clock the troops to be reviewed, viz. the 3d battalitm of the Ist Regiment, the Ist and 2d battalions of the Cold stream, and the Ist battalion of the 3d Regiment, took up their ground facing Park-lane, their right stretching to the 'Set-- pentine, and their left to the Uxbridge road. The ground was kept by detachment.' of the 14th Light Dragoons, by the. Light Infantry Company of the 2d battalion of Grenadier Guards, and by-the recruits of the brigade. A little before tilt o'clock the " Note of Preparation" commenced for melting: the illustrious Duke and his Suite. The colours of the respe•e tive battalions were unfurled, Aides-de-Camp were rapidly passing and repassing along the line, and the bands took their station in front of the brigade. At a few minutes past ten o'clock, the bands of the respective battalions announced the approach of - his Royal Highness, who enterd the Park' by Grosvenor-gate, attended by a brilliant staff; the Duke toxin slowly to the right of the brigade, the troops receiving him in open order with presented arms. His Royal highness then passed slowly up the line, minutely inspecting the troops as he passed along. He was mounted on a beautiful milk-white charger, and wore theunifonn of the Grenadier Guards.. His 'loyal High,. ness returned to the right of the line by the rear of the brigade; in conversation with his Grace the Duke of Virellington, who was dressed in the full uniform of the Master-General of the Ordnance. On the return of the Commander in Chief to the right, the line formed open columns of companies, the hods stationed in front of their several battalions to pass his Royal Highness in review order, for which purpose be took his stand in front of the Duke of Gloucester's Riding-house. This was altogether a most imposing sight. The troops made the fittest possible appearance, and their steadiness iA march. ing called forth the loud encomiums of his Royal Highness, whose magnificent Staff closely surrounding hint, added much to the grandeur of the scene. The column having . passed the Duke in slow time, with opened ranks; marched in front of his Royal Highness at quick time. As soon as these move. tents were completed, a close column of companies was form. ed which made an oblique movement to the left towards Curn.: Berland -gate, when it took up a new position, and. afterward* formed into regiments at the, regular intervals, and coin. menced firing by right of proper companies front flunks to centre. The line then retired and fired by regiments; it again advanced and formed a dose square from centre to flank, and commenced independent tiring, front rank kneel. ing. From this position the line was farmed, and advanced in quick time, and then began independent firing from centre to flank. We heard several military men say they never saw an advance in line performed with mere precision, and in a finer manner. The line then formed open columns of corn. panics, the square front rank kneeling : front the solid square a line of regiments was formed, anti file firing took place—the light companies still skirmishing in front of the line, and keep ing up an incessant independent firing. The light companies now fell back upon their respective battalions, the line deploy ed into open column of companies, and advanced to the left. After these evolutions had been gone through, the troops formed lines and advanced at ordinary time, and when they had halted, presented arms, the bands playing at the time. The Commander-in-Chief, independent of his own personal Staff; was attended by his Royal Brother the Mike of Cumberland; the Prince of Salina, the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Anglesea, the Adjutant and Quarter-Masters General. The brigade was commanded by Colonel Woodford, of the Coldstream, being the senior, Field-officer. The bat talion of the First Regiment was commanded by Colonel Jones. The first battalion of the Coldstream by Colonel Bouverie, the second battalion by Colonel Macdonald, and the battalion of the Third by Colonel Clitheroe. The Duke of York was Most enthusiastically cheered by the populace, particularly on hi e s quitting the Park at the conclusion of the Review. We have not heard of any accident occurring, although the pressure of the crowd at times was very great. This grand millitary spec. tacle ended about one o'clock. MERCANTILE SHIPPING.

BUILDING SOCIETICS.--•AVe have now twelist; of these flourishing societies in the town, and buildings and dwelling houses are rising up in air quarters with uncommon rapidity. The increase of houses does not however keep pace with the demands of an increasing population, for mit sooner are the foundations laid than there are a dozen applications for every house. The above twelve societies contain upon an average 200 shares each, the subscription opon each share is 10s. per month, and they produce in the whole a clear capital of above 14,0001. a year. This is a surprizing sum, when it is considered that the greater part arises from the savings of artisan 4 and other persons employed in manufactures and tre d e.--(Stockpokt Advertiser).
