LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 6, 1837. We have given elsewhere the official statement of i the revenue, made up to the usual quarterly period, :the sth of July. Notwithstanding the unprecedented !amount of financial prosperity exhibited in the corre sponding statement of last year, and, we may add, the 'almost unprecedented causes of diminution which have !since that time been at work, it is gratifying to find that there is no decrease on the year, though there is a considerable defalcation on the last quarter. The yearly account as compared with the preceding one, shows an increase of 116,9261.; the quarterly, on a similar comparison, a decrease of 865,355/. The Customs exhibit an increase of 123,478/. on the year ; a decrease of 412,5021. on the quarter — The Excise a decrease of 269,719/. on the year ; and of 551,505/. on the quarter—The Stamps a decrease of 139,131/. on the year ; and of 87,228/. on the quarter—The Taxes an increase of 29,195/. on the year ; and of 38,2591. on the quarter—The Post-office an increase of 12,7371. on the year ; Ind a decrease of 19,263/. on the quarter—The Miscellaneous a decrease of 14,632/. on the year ; and of 2,2471. on the quarter—lmprest and other monies In increase of 374,9981. on the year; and of 169,131/. on the quarter. Such are the details of the financial account ; and if .hey are not so favourable as could be wished, they are, perhaps, less unfavourable than might, under all cir cumstances, have been expected. Though the electots of East Cumberland have only Ik .lone their duty in coining forward with such unani ashy and determination to oppose Sir JAMES GRA-- I I erAm, their conduct on this occasion, and after the I late strange changes among political parties, cannot be 4 , oo highly estimated by the friends of liberty and good order. We can conceive nothing so contemptible as t a constituency, and particularly a large constituency, turning round with every turn of their Representative, • . tnd voting, as some of the electors of Westminster did m the late election, for a man whose political principles • i ire directly opposed to those which he avowed at the election but two years before. Sir JAMES GRAHAM -tlthought he might treat the men of Cumberland with 'the same contempt, but he has calculated without his ;'lost, and his miserable whining—we may add, lying, :.- tddress to the constituency—admits the fact. He i / inds that, though he professes not to have changed , its opinions, .‘ many former supporters and per 4onal friends " have no doubt about the matter, an d ve . lave determined to give a practical proof of their '.; .onsection by ejecting from the county as an apostate. •Aintemptible as he had rendered himself before by iis tergiversation, be his bigotry and his junction with i. party whom lie hail so often denounced, he stood -, , aigh even then as compared with the condition to ,which he has reduced himself by this second address. He begins with a pitiful lamentation for having been -taken by surprise, and has the effrontery to complain ,• .hat he should have been so treated while endeavour ', •ng to discharge his duties to them in Parliament, when he knows well that the mode in which he had ' lischarged these doties had excited these very consti ,e •uents and every honest man against him. Had he i eonfined his remarks, however, to his own defence, others would not have so much reason to complain, / 'iut, like all great criminals, he simply protests l iis own innocence, and fills up the rest of the sddress with illiberal, and what is worse, un founded oharges against o.li C 1 3 -and more parti cularly against that upright and consistent Re former Mr. JAMES, and her MAJESTY'S Ministers. His attack ought to have been directed a g ain s t M a j or ought AGLIONBY; but envy and jealousy of a consistent Reformer, and the painful reflection from what a height he had fallen, force him to give vent to his sorrow by maligning men whose soundness of principle and consistency of conduct form but a dismal contrast •to his own vacillating and disgraceful conduct. Against the Government he states what he knows— unless blinded by rage and higotry—i, not the fact, and charges th e Whigs w i t h deseninoe, the leading principle of the Revolution of 1688—the maintenance of the Reformed Protestant religion in every part of the United Kingdom. He knows that the Whigs ' still maintain that principle, and th a t th e i r wish to / remove the abuses of the English and the Irish $ rChurches, is in perfect accordance with it. B ut b a d as these parts of his address are, they sre far sur p asse d by the conclusion, which is so appropriate for a con victed renegade, that we should only spoil it by giving it in any other words than his own. We therefore re commend to the attention of all electors and candidates :: thoughout the country, the following expressive words: ; " I stand on my old ground : I-am an independent coun , f ry gentleman, whose opinions are known, and whose prin '. iples have been tried. I ask only for one seat when two are ..., acant. I do not presume to say who should be my colleague; t I ut I do say that I am not so unworthy as to merit absolute : , %elusion, and to be forced out by an atte:opt to dictate to a gr at cuostituenu:,, a.“l to eogiuzs ,epro,,,.tatiur. in thvour of those who } , r,:fc. , 3s extreme opinions, and who reject every modification.. f shan be t.rcud of receiving support front every Ttarter that may he disposed to give it, on public and in defence of the ii:stitutions which I have.: boured no I , 2ss to imprcve than to t.phorl; I..Ut you may rest assured that I have compr-!rni'seil no opinions, and dote nothing unworthy of '.!:at independence which I have endeavoured thr , . , .k!gli Tay life to maintain." The whole of the Pairs papers of Ttlesday bare been received. The following important despatebe4 were communicated by telegraph to the 'french Go- vrnituent BAYONNE, July 4 —Letters from Saragossa state that Don Carlos passed the Ebro on the 28:h, at Mora and nix. To morrow we shall be able to confirm or contradict this news, BA YONNE, July 3.— On the 26th Espartero heard, at Log rono, from the Baron do Meer, that Don Carlos was mo ving towards Tortosa, with the intention of crossing the Lower Ebro. _ _ He heard at the same time that the Carlist forces left I-c -hind in Navarre and Alava were assembling at Orduna to me nace the Upper Ebro. The two accounts inspired him with fears for Castile, and and he accordingly marched with eight battalions, on the 27th, for Arceniega . Nine other battalions ought to be there. He leaves eight behind on the Ribera, and the Portuguese at Vittoria. If this intelligence be confirmed Don CA RLOS stands a very fair chance of reaching New Castile before Es- PART Etto can offer him the least resistance. Mora and Flix, at which points he is stated to have crossed the distant a few leagues from the Mediter- Ebro, are only ranean coast. Flix is a place of some strength, but Mora is merely a village. On the river Tortosa is a strongly fortified town lower down still, so that there is no inconsistency of any moment between the account received of the actual passage of the Ebro by Don CA R os and the report conveyed to General ESPAR TERo. It is likely that the Pretender would make a feint of crossing the river at Tortosa, as it is there spanned by a bridge, whereas there is no bridge either at Flix or Mora. Logrono, where Es- PARTERO was when news of the Pretender's in tended passage of the Ebro reached him on the 26th, is high up on the Ebro at the junction of the pro vinces of Navarre and Old Castile, and should he, in stead of marching directly to cover Madrid, now me naced by the main army of the rebels, proceed up the river to Orduna, we may expect to hear of his com fortable re-establishment in his old quarters at Bilboa. What has become of ORAA and de MEER we know not. The last intelligence we had of the former represented him as having entered Caspe in triumph, after chasing CA BRERA from before it. Now, Caspe is only a few leagues from Mora and Flix, and from its position on a bend of the river, offers many facilities of conveying, in the least given time,a large force to either of the points threatened by the vanguard. It was a thousand times easier to have defended the right bank of the river than to attempt to keep possession of the high road between Alcaniz and Morella. But the passage of the Ebro would rather add to the embarrassment of Don CARLos were DE MEER and ORAA to concentrate their forces and attack him briskly before he can penetrate into the interior of Va lencia. He quitted Catalonia rather because he found few jealous partizans in it than because of any prospect of reaching Madrid in safety. After leav ing Solsona he tried to make himself master of Navariles and Manresa, but without success ; and he only ordered a retrograde march upon the Ebro when he found that he had no chance of suprising Barcelona. His army is greatly straitened for want of provisions, and he has little to expect from the enthu siasm of a population reduced to misery by the ravages of GoMEz and CABRERA. But, unfortunately, the ' past career of the QUEEN'S Generals does not en courage us to hope that they will avail them selves of the oversights of the enemy. Their great object would appear to be the keeping up of the war, by fairly balancing the success on both sides. When the tide of popular indignation threatens them with disgrace and the deprivation of command, they make war in earnest ; but the instant they have retrieved their fame, by getting the Pretender in their power, they think only of prolonging their occupation, by al lowing him to slip unscathed through their fingers. The French Papers of Tuesday contain a despatch from the Marquis DAS .ANTAS to the Minister of War, giving an account of the defeat of a large body of Carlists at Aleg:ia on the 18th ult. by a handful of Christinos commanded by Col. JACKS of the Queen's Own Irish Lancers. The Carlists had 100 men killed, including five officers, and 37 made prisoners. The Lancers had three horses killed, but not a single man either killed or wounded. There is no domestic news of any interest in the French journals. The capital is unusually tranquil, though the police' are still occasionally busy in paying domiciliary visits. The popularity of the KING hourly increases. On Thursday last, the 29th of .June, the Abbe Augou, first Pastor of the Evangelic French Church, received an in junction to close his church in future at six o'clock in the evening. Notwithstanding this injunction the Abbe Aul.7ou officiated and preached at eight o'clock in the evening, declar itr,' that he does not recognise the authority of th e P re f ec t o f Police to issue such an injunction. On Sunday last the Prefect summoned Abbe Augeu, and signified to him that be was not to deliver his conference against the Jesuits, or that if he did, he would cause his chapel to be shut up. Abbe Augou refused to obey his order ; the conference took place at eight o'clock in the evening, and this morning, at five o'clock, the seals were affixed to the doors of the Evangelic French Church. —Journal des Debats.

Spanish I'a6sives In directing the attention of the Government of this country to the following extract from a letter from Athens, dated the Gth ult., we would be understood as being solely influenced by the kindliest feelings towards the yet necessarily imperfect Administration of Greece. It is not to be expected that a Government which has only been a few years established—which has had to struggle against the subsiding waves of a successful blood-drenched revolution—which has had to con form itself to customs and habits of which it knew not the force—to combat prejudices engendered and nur tured in ignorance —to repress national barbarity, with out wounding national vanity—and to maintain itself, by the unpopular agency of foreign power ; it is not to be expected, we repeat, that such a Government could, in an instant, surround itself with perfect institutions, and be able to prove the non-existence of many errors in the details of its Administration. But for several months past the accounts almost d a il y received from Greece have indicated the existence of evils having their origin in the malpractices of the Government itself—evils flowing from the preva lence of despotical Bavarian Councils in the Greek Cabinet—not from the poverty, the ignorance, or the insubordination of the Greek population. This is the grave part of the inquiry ; and to this only do we seek to direct attention in giving insertion to a statement which reflects equal discredit upon the understanding of the King of GREECE —upon the sta!e policy and the paternal solicitude of the King of BAVARIA—and upon the common sense and common honesty of the present A RCEI-CIIA NCELLOR. " One word respecting King Otho.

In writing thus I would not be understood to say that King Otho is an idiot in the very severest sense of the word : his pereenal tputftranCe, and beai:. ing are fatOU and had tkie„intehlionl of the COnfeibiihe Li latiii'Ann been Carried into effect, 4.ia a t'ree diistitlltidti bee o grant'eSA to klrece; OtlAi miAkt hive ius3eu Milster in The Vrow'd penonages. It is as an absolute Monarch, which his lather seems resolved on his being, that his want of capacity unavoidably shines forth. " The keeper that the King of Bavafia has tliottht At lb provide for his tun ; ltl saVa.g Ana ttlt t 1 lii thatim rs might vie with atv of the itrfians *tine business is to Lighten the poet- inthateS ref Bedlam into submission to their all-powerful it iii, IZtlhart, with the natural vulgarity of a low and grovel- 1 ling mind, end e av ours t o s h ow t o th e emit.' that he, in the name of the King of Bavaria, governs °recce 1 and that Otho is merely a cyphtr Set up to answer the purposes of the abso lute Powers of the North. thit ill-judged vanity on the part of the Bavarian Counsellor of State' who governs Greece, had nearly the other day caused the downfall of his power. The internal jealousy among the Bavarians is become prover bial in Greece. Rudhart, on his arrival, of course determined on the removal of each of these as he considered favourable to Count d'Arinensperg's late administration, and, much to the credit of the Count, hardly a man among his countrymen could be considered as his friend, so much had he opposed their inordinate ambition for plunder. One, however, of the King's Privy Councillors, Monsieur Frey, either in consequence of his attachment to Count d'Armensperg, or from jealousy of'' his influence with the King, Rudhart determined on having removed from Greece. Without consulting his Majesty he clandestinely wrote to the King of Bavaria to order Frey, on pain of all the punishments that absolute tyrants have at their command, immediately to leave Greece; and the first notice of this uncalled-for and iniquitous attack on the independence of Greece tit:A !cached Athens was the order that the Bava rian Charge d'Affaires brought in his pocket, commanding Monsieur Frey immediately to proceed to Munich. It is na tural to suppose that the queen was not lung in learning from public rumour the scandalous attempt made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the independence of her husband, and it is said that she succeeded in rousing the King to a sense of what his honour required of him. Certain it is that there was e tremendous hubbub in the palace, but which has ended, as might have been expected, by poor Otho obeying his task master, and in the departure of Frey for Bavaria. " I have given this instance of Bavarian interference in the affairs of Greece, in preference to any other of the tens of thou sands that are daily taking place, because the fact of its hav ing nearly caused even Otho to open his eyes to the miserable position in which his father has placed him, has created a very considerable sensation here. If what I have written be false, it will bo no difficult matter for others to show that such is the case ; but if, on the other hand, every word of this is true, is not the moment, I ask, arrived for England to insist on the fulfilment of her intentions in the establishment of an indepen dent and constitutional power in Greece, as the only guarantee that can possibly be offered for the repayment of I,lie sums of money that were advanced for this purpose alone? Before it is too late it becomes England, by refusing to recognise the acts of the Bavarian despotism that has been established, to save Greece from the revolution that hourly threatens to deluge her soil once more with blood." It is needless to add that we cannot vouch for the accuracy of every word in this statement ; but the quarter from whence it comes is to us guarantee suffi cient for its having a foundation in fact. Now it never was intended by the brave deliverers of Greece that that country should emancipate herself from the Otto man yoke only to be made over as an appanage to the son of a Bavarian Sovereign. France and England were at least sincere in recognizing the national inde pendence of Greece ; national independence was the . darling object for which the Greeks themselves conti nued for years to peril all that was nearest and dearest to them ; and of that independence it is the interest and the duty of England to assert and maintain the inviolability. We could afford to smile at the crooked intrigues of the petty Court of Bavaria, did we not know that King Lours and his Ministers are but the tools of Russia. Dutch, Brussels, and German Papers, the former to the 4th inst. inclusive, have been received. The North American Government has intimated to the Austrian Cabinet that it desires the accrediting of United States and Austrian Ambassadors at Wash ington and Vienna. The Emperor FERDINAND at once sanctioned the proposal, and ordered that his pleasure should be forthwith communicated to the United States' Government. The Hanover Gazette of the 29th ult. contains the following account of the solemn entry of the King of HANOVER into the capital of his do minions : " His Majesty Ernest Augustus made his solemn entry into his capital yesterday. The Hanoverians testified towards his Majesty all that respect and devotion which they have ever shown for his dynasty. On the day before, the King arrived at Osnabruc, where he was received with transports of en thusiasm. Next day all the inhabitants of the villages through which he passed went out to meet him. His Ma jesty dismissed his escort, which was composed of the body guards. Salvos of artillery announced his arrival. At a few minutes before six the King reached the en trance of the street called Calemberg, where a triumphal arch had been erected. His Majesty was accompanied by his Gr2nd Equerry, the Count de Kielmanswegge, with a body of the citizens on horseback. The authorities of the city were waiting to receive him. The Governor of the city presented the keys to his Majesty on a silken cushion, and delivered a loyal address, to which the King replied—' You know my love for this country, in which I passed my youth. It has pleased Providence to call me to the Throne of my ancestors, and the Hanoverians shall find in me a just and benevo lent King.' These words, uttered with deep emotion, were greeted with loyal acclamations. His Mi , jesty then proceeded to the Palace, receiving as he went alung renewed testimonials of the general joy. He was received by the Duke of Cam bridge and his son, Prince George. Soon afterwards the Ministers and Officers of State were admitted to pay their homage to the King ; in the evening there was a general illu mination. To-day his Majesty will hold a Council of Mini sters. He intends to proceed shortly to the baths at Carls bad, where he will remain until August." Notwithstanding this very flattering account of the King of HANoyEa's reception by his new subjects, we are credibly informed that his oath of allegiance to the Queen of ENGLAND has given mortal offence to the reigning Princes of the " Holy Roman Empire." They insist that never before was Hanover " verily and indeed" subject to England—and they are, right. King ERNEST AUGUSTUS is without question a subject of Great Britain. The King of the BELGIANS is gone on a visit to Paris. The cholera has appeared at Naples. 11E1.61 AN 1 UNDS—Bayssuci, JULY 4 Actual Debt, 24i per Cent.

We have always advocated " Justice to Ireland," and sincerely wish that that island should en joy municipal in stitutions, and the other advantages possessed by the rest of the United Kingdom. At the same time we reckon it but fair that she should bear her shale in the taxation of the coun try. Her people are exempted altogether from many taxes which the inhabitants of Great Britain have to pay ; and se veral charitable institutions, which in this country are supported by the bounty of the people, aro upheld to the Irish from the public revenue. Among the sums voted by the House of Commons on Monday last, we find the following items : " 13,4001. for the Foundling Hospital in Dublin. 20,0001 for the House of Industry in Dublin. " 150/. for the Hibernian Marine Society. " 1,000/. for the Female Orphan House, Circular Road, Dublin. " 1,000/. for the Lying-in Hospital, .Dublin. " 1,5001. for Dr. Stevens's Hospital in Dublin. " 3,8001. for the Fever Hospital, Cork-street. " 300/. for the Hospital for Incurables." The inhabitants of Edinburgh or Glasgow have just as much right to have their hospitals and infirmaries supported by Par liamentary grants as the people of Dublin ; and we trust, that in striking the balance of the great account of "justice to Ireland," the claims of England and Scotland, both of which keep their own poor, to exemption from the additional burden of maintaining the poor of Ireland, may be duly considered. —Greenock Advertiser. TORY AND WHIG PEERS.---I find that from the accession of George 111. to the present time, Tory ministers have been 64 years in power, and have created 195 peers, en tertaining similar political opinions ; during the remaining 13 years, the government of the country has been in the hands of Whig ministers, by whom sixty-nine Whig Peers have been ereated, leaving a balance in favour of the Tories of 126. On carefully examining the votes of the House of Lords, from the commencement of Lord Grey's Administration to the present Session of . Parliame n t, on q ues ti ons upon w hi c h t h ese two po litical parties differ, the average standing majority against your Lordships appears to be about ninety ; so that bad there been no creation since 1761, the \Vhig party would be in a majority instead of a minority, and the present unfortunate col lision between the two Houses of Legislature could not exist. —Letter of Lord Langford to Viscount Melbourne.

This case came before the Court upon the petition of the present trustees of the chapel, praying for a reference to the Master, to inquire whether it would be fit and proper that the trustees of the chapel should be increased from eleven to twenty-five. The grounds of the application were these : The chapel, which belonged to the Methodist Society, had undergone considerable alterations and improvements, by which an expense of nearly 10,000/. had been incur red. The usual mode by which the Methodist Society raised the money for the building and repairs of their places of worship was by the promissory note of the trustees, but in consequence of the amount being so large, and as so small a number of trustees could not be got to be responsible for so large a sum, it was thought expedient for the purpose that the number should be increased to 25.

Guilty.—The prosecutrix and the Jury recommended the prisoner to mercy. Henry Rudall, 40, stood indicted for a rape on his own child, aged 12 years, in April last, in the parish of Hackney. The case had not concluded when our reporter left. In the course of the day the Grand Jury came into Court, and the Foreman, Thomas Wood, Esq., said, that before se parating they desired to state publicly their opinion of the very respectable and efficient character of those of the Police Force who had been before them, and the clear manner in which they had given their evidence. TAE SUN. LONDON', THURSDAY. JULY 6. IA37 NEW COURT. Mary Ann Dowel was indicted for stealing, on the 19th of June, in the parish of St. George's in the East, nine sove reigns, the property of Robert Mitchell, from his person.— Guilty. George Smith was indicted for stealing, on the 3d July, n St. Paul's Churchyard, a reticule, containing various articles of property belonging to Rosanna Ward, from her person. The prisoner said he was in the utmost distress, and was starving, at the time he committed the offence; and his wife was on the eve of her confinement.—Guilty, but recommended to mercy. Sarah Scott, 16, and Mary Norwell, 15, were indicted for stealing, on the 24th June, in Whitecross-street, a watch and chain, the property of Michael liyams. It appeared in evi dence that the prisoners came into the shop of the prosecutor at nine o'clock in the morning. There was no person in the shop but a little girl, and the watch being on the counter, in stantly disappeared. The prosecutor, on his return home, missed his watch, and it was found at a pawnbroker's in the neighbourhood, where it was pledged the same day. The jury acquitted Scott, but found the other prisoner guilty. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, JULY s.—Wind S. E.—Arrived the Jack Tar, from Valparaiso; and Herald, Robinson, from Belfast.

A meeting was held yesterday of the holders of South Sea Stock, and the usual dividend was agreed to. The Sub- Go vernor informed the meeting that the negotiations with Go vernment for indemnifying the Corporation, in consequence of the abolition of the South Sea duties, were still pending, and that there was not,much chance of their being;brought to a close until the next Session of Parliament. A letter was read at the meeting from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, stating that in consequence of the demise of the Crown, the arrange ments for the indemnification of the proprietors must be post poned. Up to the present hour we have no account of the arrival of the New York Packet, which is anxiously looked for by the American merchants. Although there is a great deficiency in this Quarter's Re venue (near nine hundred thousand pounds), it has not af fected the funds this morning, owing to its having been anti cipated by the state of our commercial affairs with America ; which has also had an effect throughout Europe. Indeed, the prevailing idea in the City was that t would have been to a greater extent. There were reports of mercantile failures in the course of yesterday, but this morning we did not hear anything further on the subject. Money continues scarce ; but the dividends become payable on Saturday, when no doubt it will be more plentiful, and dis counts will be more easy to the commercial community. THE FUNDS.

BIRMINGIIAM, WEDNESDAY.-The first-class train from Liverpool arrived here at 11 o'clock this morning by the railroad. Daniel O'Connell, and one of his sons, have just started by the down train. The lace trade at Chard is getting into an alarm ing state of declension ; hands are being discharged every neck, and the mill of Messrs. Weedy and Riste, the largest in this town, some of the first-rate workmen, who have been employed at high wages for years past, are now, after succes sive reductions of wages, no longer wanted, and consequently dismissed.—Bristol Journal. A vein of rich copper ore has been discovered at Ardtulla, Kerry, the estate of John D. Croker, Esq., of Quartcrtown, Mallow.

FATAL EFFECTS OF HAVING A GENTLEMAN PATIENT.—.The unhappy Sceur Therese was convicted of having staid away under false pretences, and moreover con fessed that she had so far forgotten her profession as to allow her patient to address her in the language of a lover. Her punishment was dreadful. She was taken back to the con vent and deprived of food for several days. Then, after being severely scourged with rods, her nun's habit was stripped off her, and with nothing but a sheet to protect her from the in clemency of the weather, she was turned out of the convent at midnight, and left in the street. Poor Therese was never heard of more. It is thought that the disgrace of her expul sion, added to all that she had suffered, so affected her mind, that she either died of the consequences or put an end to her self.--A Summer in Germany.

To-morrow, a considerable ii6Ti9n of the great line of Railway, which is to expedite our communlea:ons w ith the British Nfetropolis, is to be opened to the public, and vOn he traversed by the mails from LOndeo, of which we are hence forth to have the benefit of two every ltmft4i day. The new arrangcmentg which have become necessary at Our Post-office hive been oilicially notified. Further accelerations will, no doubt, from time to time, take place, as this magnificent line of Railway advances to completion, any giYen distance being traversed in less than half the time occupied by the present mail-coaches. When the periol shall arrive that the whole distance between London and Greenock can be travelled by railway, the journey will be completed within the incredibly short space of one day—a rapidity which the wildest visionary, but a very few years since, would not have dreamt of.— Greenock Advertiser. Accounts from all parts of the Continent represent the weather to be as generally favourable to agriculture, nst the winter and spring had been long, cold, and discouraging. TIIE NEW MARRIAGE ACT.-Parties may now marry either at Church or Chapel, or in their own dwellings. They will no longer be compelled to go to Church, where, too often, through the whim, caprice, or indolence of the cler gyman they have been insulted. An instance occurred on Tuesday, the 27th ult., at St. Mary's Church, where a young couple with their friends were kept waiting more than half an hour, though the time for the performance of the rite had been already postponed in order that his reverence, the Cu rate, might not be hurried over his breakfast. We understand that this is not an uncommon occurrence with this reverend gentle man. —Leicestershire Mercury. Several erroneous reports with respect to the open ing of the first section of the London and Birmingham Rail way from Euston Grove, London, to Box Moor, llerts (24 miles), having recently obtained circulation, we have (says a Manchester paper of Wednesday) made inquiry on the sub ject, and are enabled to state that it is expected that that por tion of the work will be opened to the public on Tuesday, the 18th of July, and that by the first week, or, at any rate, by the middle of August, the line will be opened as far as Tring, 31 miles. The question is to be decided at a general meeting of shareholders on Friday next, to prevent the line from being used at all on Sundays. Dr. GRANVILLE.—We copied from a morning pa per a paragraph stating that Dr. Granville had left town by the Hamburgh steam-boat, Batavier, for the Continent. So far from this being the case, he has not had the slightest inten tion of leaving London, where he is busily engaged in seeing his forthcoming work on the Spas of Germany through the press, and attending to his professional duties. We regret to learn the failure in Glasgow of a large house in the foundry trade.—Glasgow Chronicle. FRENCH AND ENGLISH INNS.—I have often thought (says Mr. Cooper, the American novelist) that the regularity, silence, order, cleanliness, and decencies of an English inn, added to the beds, elegance, table, and liquors of a French inn, would fora' the ne plus ultra of inn-ism. The coach proprietors on this line of road, aware that on even the partial opening of the London and Birming ham Railway, they may cry " Othello's occupation's gone," are making hay while sunshine is left them. The fare from Birmingham to London, which of late years has averaged from 18s. to 11. ss. has recently been trebled ; and the pro prietors now modestly ask 31. 12s. fare to the mstropolis. Manchester Guardian. Dr. Johnson, when in Scotland, complained stur dily of the paucity of trees ; but should his spirit ever revisit the glimpses of the moon, it can no longer say, that from Ber wick to the Orcades all is barren, if we except the Hebrides, and a few other clustered or lonely Isles. When an English noblemen, who had visited Wigtownshire, inquired of a for mer Earl of Galloway, in London, whether he had still his seven trees, the bold Baron replied, " I have now seven mil lions ;" and this is merely a sample of the umbrageous change that has taken place over the whole country. The Precurseur of Antwerp gives some details re specting a young girl who has lived for some time in the en virons of Maestricht in a sort of savage state. Her name is Genevieve Colombo. She says she is a native of Piedmont, and that for some years an old gentleman used to come to the asylum at Novane, where she was placed, and pay an annual sum for her support ; but the old gentleman being dead, the pension was discontinued. Some papers were found which stated that her father's fortune had been left to her brother, a Canon of Maestricht, who, however, was directed to pay his sister a small annual pension. Entrance to the fortress was refused her, but her efforts to obtain admission became such an annoyance, that she was told if she did not leave the kingdom she would be sent to prison. She then retired to the grotto of St. Pierre, where she stayed for 18 months on a rock, taking no other nourishment than was left by the peasants. There it was that she lost her reason. She says that she was only born to trample the grass under her feet. She will wear nothing but silk gowns and velvet shoes. When any other description of dress is given to her, she tears it into atoms. The poor girl is about to be sent back to the asylum at Novane. The unfortunate and deluded peasantry of the neigh bourhood of Tipperary have been excited not a little within the last week by a humbugging story, got up evidently for a similar purpose to the " Wild Fire," or the " Blessed Turf," of the last year, and which has the effect of collecting thou sands and hundreds of thousands together almost at a moment's warning, who can then be led on to any act of desperation their leaders may direct. A man named Keating, from near New castle, was taken ill, died, and was buried some short time ago, but a few nights since he appeared to his brother and father, end told them lie had been only taken by the fairies, and that if they were resolute, and would bring plenty of whisky, and some of their neighbours, and have each a black-hafted knife, he would be passing the cross-road at Giendalough, ar twelve o'clock precisely, at St. John's Eve ; that they Is ould first see a little man on a fine grey horse, whom they were to let pass as well as any others, until they perceived him ; he would be mounted on a black horse ; they were to get between him and the rest, and to cut off the right ear of his horse, when he would be at once out of the fairies' power, and be let home again to them. Numbers in this town and neighbourhood either believed it or pretended to do so, and went off to the meeting, where, we are informed, upwards of 1,20 e persons assembled. As may be supposed, no little man or gray horse appeared, and all returned again, but what passed there, and why they were called thus together, is as yet a secret. To carry on the humbug, this ghost or fairy appeared on Sunday night to his father again, and told him all was lost by a fellow going in their company who had murdered three men (whom he named), but that lie would be passing Ratcliffe's mill, near the Spa, in a few nights again, when they would have another opportunity.— Tippe, cry Constitution. HERRING FISHERY IN HOI.LAND.—The first vessel from the herring fleet arrived on Saturday, with 201 barrels of new herrings, which were sold at 700 florins per barrel. A second vessel with 49 barrels had left the fleet for Hamburgh. On Monday evening, at six o'clock, the second Dutch boat, with 101 barrels of herrings, arrived at Maesluys ; it left the fleet on the 27th of June, and brings the most fa vourable accounts of the success of the fisheries.—Dutch paper. The quantity of iron made in this country duting the year 1836 has been estimated at the enormous quantity of a million tons; the average price of pig-iron for the year being about 7/. per ton, and that of bar-iron about 11/. per ton.— The Cambrian. The ravages of time and the march of improvement are making sad havoc with the antiquities of Leith. It is but lately that the house was taken down which was formerly the residence of the unfortunate Earl of Balmerino, who, along with the Earl of Kilmarnock, was beheaded on Tower-hill on the 11th of August, 1746, having been taken prisoner at the battle of Culloden. This ancient building was situated in the Kirkgate, between Charlotte-street and the Kirkgate. King Charles 11., when invited by the Scottish Parliament to come to Scotland in 1650, landed at Leith, and lodged in the house now spoken of. Another memorable building is just now dis appearing, to make way for grain lofts ; we allude to the old building in Queen-street, said to be the residence of Mary of Lorraine. This house presented rather an elegant exterior, all the window frames being formed of oak richly carved ; the panellings of the doors were also of oak, embellished with beautiful carved work.—Edinburgh Courant. On Monday evening, a meeting of the unemployed operatives was held on the Market Hill, Barnsley, to consider what course should be adopted to gain immediate relief; when at the recommendation of Mr. Joseph Crabtree they agreed to go in a body to the workhouse the next morning, to demand relief from the overseer, which was accordingly done, and relief was obtained as far as the overseer's means would allow. A public meeting was held a few days ago, at which a committee was appointed for conducting a subscription for the purpose of employing the most distressed, and for reliev ing widows and others. Since then partial relief has been ad• ministered. The committee found such urgent claims upon their sympathy as to induce them to give immediate relief :n many cases. They examined 350 cases, and distributed 1:31. in money, and 369 stones of flour amongst 275 families, which will supply them with bread one week, during which time the committee are in hope that they will be able to get some i n , some sort of work for any relief which may be given t o th em. On Friday last, a boy 14 )ears of age, named James Sillitoe, living at Barlingdo::, hung himself' small cord. His father had left him on ly ten minutes, and on his roturn he was quite dead. He had been previously ob served to be much depressed in his spirits.— . Essex Herald. morning of TEIGNMOUT ll.—On the Tuesday last, between two and three o'clock, A. M. (the evening before having been quite calm), an easterly wind sprung suddenly up and brought a heavy sod with it. A larze raft of timber ly lantv,ing to Messrs.

In the afternoon was delivered in Eas Teigrmouth church a very appropriate sermon on the occasioi , by the Dean of Norwich. A very dis&r ac!ful occurrence took place at Bewdle) on Moeday evening. Notice had been given that a temperane , meeting would be held at the Friends' Meeting-house at eigh , o'clock. Accordingly a large number of persons congregate( there, and all went on yell until the first speaker was conclud lag, when he challenged any person who could refute what le hail said to come forward and do so. A labouring man,namte Daher, eccepted this public challenge, and for a considerabb time addreeeed the audience with decorum. The speakers o; the abstinence, aide thought proper to interrupt Baker, and or dered the constables to put him out. Then commenced a scent of confusion that is indescribable. However, the business of the evening proceeded, by other speakers addressing the assem bly, amidst great uproar. Peas and nuts were thrown indis criminately at the speakers; the candlesticks were throw; about the chapel, and great violence was used towards a mem ber of the society. A dreadful accident happened at the Valletort Con solS mine, in the parish of Beer Ferris, on Saturday last. As some men and boys (eleven in number) were lowering about twenty-four fathoms of seven-inch pipe into the mine, the weight overcame their resistance, and they were all knocked down. Two of the men, named Robins and Jose, were Idled on the spot ; two others were very dangerously hurt, and the rest met with bruises more or lose severe.—Deeonport 7'ck graph. On Sunday morning week, between one and two o'clock, the upward and downward mail-coaches hetwet:P tcrborough and London, came in contact with each other it: al sudden turn, both were orerturnee, and Crouch, the driver of the upward mail, was so seriously injured that he expired in a very short time. There were no passengers on his coach, but the downward mail was full of passengers, inside and out, in cluding the Right Hon. C. T. D'Evneourt, M.P. ; Henry Broadley, Esq., of this town ; Mr. Bain, a barrister prac tising at the East Riding and Hull Sessions, &c.—none of whom were materially injured. Mr. Bain was thrown into field, but escaped with a few slight bruises. The coaches, were both proceeding at their usual speed, but there was a very dense fog, so that objects could not be distinguished at a distance of eight or ten yards. Crouch was not the regular driver, but merely officiating in relief of the usual coachman. It is stated he has left a widow and eight children.—Hull Observer. KILMARNOCK.---Mr. Colquhoun, of Killermont, ' one of the Graham school, formerly a violent Reformer, and now a High Church Tory, has appeared in the burghs to oppose Dr. Bowring. His Saintship (for as the Saint, park excellence, he is generally known as Saint Colquhoun) sud denly summoned the electors to meet him on Friday last, when" -, he accused Dr. Bowring of irreligion and infidelity, and of asts tendency to Popery ; and indulged in diatribes, worthy of Exeter Hall, against the Reformers. But when it was moved e that Mr. Colquhoun should be invited to stand, a counter-re- e s .lution was carried that the meeting should adjourn, in order to allow time for due notice to be given to the electors. As'. public meeting was called, in consequence, on Saturday (the '4. Provost in the Chair), when resolutions approving of Dr. 4 Bowring's public conduct, and pledging to retu rn him t o the s, next Parliament, were unanimously passed. Mr. Colquhoun declared himself hostile to the Ballot—hostile to cheap bread for the peaple; but the vials of his bitterest wrath were poured , e: upon Maynooth College, and the Papist tendencies of the pre- .. sent Government. Mr. Colquhoun is not likely tosucceed. „4: THE GENIUS OF DEATII.—Among the Etrunan t i : vases you find a striking and frightful statue of the Genius ofelj Death—so fair, and yet so ghastly pale—so young, and yet so relentless—winged—resting on his bow in a most graceful:32 attitude, g:ving, as it would seem, mortality a holiday : yet';,f h:s countenance, though beautifully regular, expresses a chil- e ,SII ling severity; mingling in its impression a paradox of senti-A meat in representing what the power of the understanding cannot define, or the most sunny imagination scarcely trace p.i., 111 shadow of Death alive I Death, too, in boyhood, ere he has 4 yet unsheathed his bones, and assumed his occupation of as sassin-general of the human race.— Weatherhead's Pedestrian . ; , Tour.

From about this time until the end of the month, ~, when the Bank of Bngland are generally paying their divi - 1 dends, a description of well-dressed thieves and swindle rs, called " dividend hunters," infest the neighbourhood o f the '" Bank, some pursuing their avocations in the usual mode of picking pockets, by secretly abstracting th e mone y from the o t depositories of the different individua l s who have unfortunately come in their way ; others with greater cunning and less risk ~. of detection, may be met at coffee-houses, billiard-rooms, ta- ' verns, public-houses, and auction-rooms, each in their pro-I' fea&on seek - ng the same end to defraud the unwary.

There were forty bills, public and private, that re ceived her Majesty's Royal assent, by commission, on Friday ; it was the first batch to whi c h h er Majesty had to give her con-'4! sent.
