Louse, but the inspector took from her in all ten pocket I andkerchiefs, among:Which were those belonging to the prosecutors. Seven of them were concealed in her bo £ OM, two under the left arm and one round her neck. The prisoner was committed for trial. UNION-HALL. Thomas Wyatt, a young man, was charged with assault ing his wife. The wife, a tall young woman, had only Leen married three weeks, and her husband had beaten ner half a dozen times since that joyful event. On the preceding night she went to the theatre with her sister, Lut being taken ill she slept at her mother's, and on going 1 ome in the morning he " beat her to a mummy." She had made a had bargain in marrying the defendant, and ished she had never seen him. _ _ _ The defendant said his wife was fond of flirting with e:ery man who paid her attention, and since her marriage s'ie continued at her old tricks. He married her in the h /pc that she would become steady, but, alas; she was as fond of the theatres as ever. He certainly had given her " a good quilting" (beating), to make her remember, and not stcp out all night: The wife said she was obliged to go out to work while her husband was in a public-house, and she would not live with him any longer. Defendant—Mary, my love, don't leave me ; I only gave you this little correction to make you love your home. If you forgive me, I will not prevent your going to theatre sometimes, but then you must come home after it is over. The wife said she would not overlook what had hap peaed, and the defendant was held to bail. POLICE COMMITTEE. ADULTERATION OF LIQUORS.—The Committee of Al dermen assembled at Guildhall upon general business. Sir P. Laurie.had good reason for informing the Committee that the town was inundated with adulterated beer and spirits, and that the magistrates were, to a certain extent, responsible to the public for permitting such disgraceful adulterations to take place as were proved constantlybefore the Excise Board. If the aldermen would look cautiously to the houses of. those convicted of offences of this kind, and prevent the transfer of licenses to any who appeared in the black vocabulary, there would be a very strong check to • the present , nefarious practices by which the public were half Peisoned and the brewer considerably defrauded. The Magistrates of St. Marylebone had, for the purpose of put , t;qg ap:etid, to.the system of adulteration, written to the Board of Excise requesting to be supplied with the names o .such publicans as were convicted, in order to put a veto u;:on,their licenses, and he believed the Magistrates for the liberties of the. Vowel' Hamlets had pursued a similar course. Sir Peter then moved that a letter should be ad .iYc.sed to the COMmissioners for a monthly return of such publicans as should be fined by them for adulterating li qaer.s, the Committee being desirous of communicating the r. quired information to the local authorities in the City, with a view to an improvement being made in the present F.yst,m of licensing. The Committee unanimously con curred in this resolution. THE LATE MURDER. Two men were apprehended on Friday at Hounslow, fine of whom was supposed to be the individual who, on Tuesday morning last, so inhumanely murdered Eliza Da vis, the barmaid at the King's Arms, Frederick -street, Regent's Park. About seven o'clock on Friday evening .atention of the patrol was attracted to two men of s ei i .ieious appearance who were seen passing through fLueslow. One of these men answered E o exactly the description of the murderer, that the patrol thought he was justified in stopping them. He did so, and their answers to his questions were so vague and unsatisfactory as to strengthen the suspicion already entertained, and they were immediately taken into custody, and conveyed to Brantford e:atiiee-house, preparatory to their being examined before 'the magistrates on the following morning. The report s on spread throughout the town cud heighbourhooethat elle perpetrator of tbe revolting deed was in custody, and the greatest. excitement instantly ensued, and persons flocked 'real all parts to catch a glimpse of the party. At twelve o Jock on Saturday they were removed from the station !; ,use, and brought before Mr. Parnell and another county lea- ; , istrate, who were holding a petty Sessions at the Three e)4cons, near the Market-place. They were followed by an immense concourse of persons, who assailed them with the most discordant yells, and it was with the greatest d.flieulty that the police, a strong body of wham were pre sent, could protect them from open violence. On being j,laced at the bar before the Bench they said they were it others, and gave the name of Bates, that they were and lived in the Hackney-road ; that they had memo to Hounslow to purchase flowers, which they said they could buy cheaper there than at any other place. They dee:ed all knowledge of the murder, and expressed great s irprse and indignation at being charged with such a dia bolical crime. A messenger having been despatched to the King's Arms for witnesses, in a short time two men, named Benjamin Bunn and Frederick Russell, who were examined at the inquest, and were well ac quainted ‘trith the supposed murderer and the man who wis seen in his company, when they at once decidedly stated test the prisoners were not the persons suspected, although o w of them certainly bore a very close resemblance to the ttabohcal villain who was in the habit of earning to the house, and who was seen running away from it immediately after tire murder. His dress was as nearly as possible the same, and the only remarkable difference was that he had a face, and different coloured hair and whiskers. The Magistrates were for remanding the prisoners till Monday, eotwithstanding the loud protestation of their innocence, when, fortunately for them, other testimony arrived in fa-our of. the prisoners, who were ultimately liberated, and well n 7 gla torn to pieces by the eager crowd who were con gregated outside, whn could not be easily convinced of their not being guilty. The funeral of the ill-fated girl will take place this day (Monday). Police constables Peeler and Roderilek, of the S division, are still in pursuit of the mur derer, but up to a late hour on Saturday no tidings had ar rived oe his apprehension. • TATAL THUNDER STORM. Yes rdav afternoon, about a-quarter past three o'clock, Ike u.e.ropolis and contiguous parts were visited by an ful thunder-storm. It came on with a strong wind from the north -cast, and was accompanied by rain and hail-stones of grt at size, which did great damage to the greenhouses, and so. choked-up the gutters of many dwellings that they were Mon inundated with water, which, as the hail melted, found its way through the roofs. The lightning was re markably vivid, and the peals of thunder awfully loud; par ttcularil at Pentonville, Islington, and other parts north ward. The houses situated in White Conduit-fields were shaken to their foundations. The tempest con tinued to rage with unabated violence for about three quark rs of an hour, and shortly before four o'clock a boy, it-amed William Welch, who was looking a ft er . some co ws belonging to Mr. Smelt, of White Lion-street, Pentoiz-ville, which were grazing in an adjacent field, was struck Ly the electric fluid. Some passers-by immediately emoveii him to a shed adjoining a cottage in the fields, v. here ma attempt was male to bleed him by one of the by standers ; no blood, however, flowing, he was conveyed to Mr. Len.nard, the sign of the Norfolk Arms, in Payne street, White Conduit-fields. Mr. Russell, the surgeon, of Goldent-terrace, instantly attended, and after having resor ted to the usual means for restoring animation, such as warm baths,,&c., pronounced life to be extinct. The body Lou; remains at Mr. Lennard's, awaiting the Coroner's in tittest. A cow, and some boys near her, were struck down I , y the same flash, and completely stunned, but shortly af terwards; recovered. This was the last flash, and the storm gradually subsided. The poor fellow was conveyed to the Norfolk. Arms, corner of Payne-street, and was shortly af terwards placed in a shell. He is an orphan, about fifteein yearsof age, and the electric fluid took effect on the right temple, frightfully discolouring his face. He had no set tled place of abode. It was also reported that a man was lined about the same time at Islington, but this we believe is not true.

The following' correspondence has taken place between Lord Viscount Castlereagh and Joseph Hume, Esq.:— " Chapel-street, May 12. _. _ " Sir—My attention has just been called to the following paragraph in The Sun newspaper, in a speech reported to have been delivered by you at the hustings at Covent garden on Wednesday last Good God !is not the name of Castlereagh enough to make any honest and liberal man avoid him' ! and I request that you will inform me whether the expressions attributed to you are correctly re ported. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "CASTLEREAGH. "Joseph Hume, Esq. , M. P. " Brvanston-square, May 12. " Sir—l request you will send to Viscount Castlereagh the inclosed letter, in answer to the one you delivered to me this evening. I remain your obedient servant, "JOSEPH HUME. " G. Bentinck, Esq.'s , Bryanston-square, May 12, 1837. "My Lord—l received your letter of this date when busy in the House of Commons ; and having referred to The Sun newspaper of the 10th inst., to which you allude, I offer this answer to the question you ask. "I am not answerable for what is reported in that or any other newspaper ; but, as far as I can recollect when speaking of the political conduct of those Tories who have supported Sir Francis Burdett in the contest for Westminster, I used words to the purport of those quoted by you, with one exception. I must have used the word Reformer instead of man, as I never mean my observations to be personal, so as to give offence to any person ; but I apply them to the political conduct of the parties. " It is held that a man may be morally good, though po litically dishonest, but nevertheless, I think ought to be shunned by every honest Reformer. " I have stated to your uncle the same opinion of his political conduct again and again, without their being made the ground of personal offence. " If you mAintain, as 1 believe you do, the anti-Reform opinions of yoar uncle, I consider your company politically dangerous to every honest and consistent Reformer ; and therefore to be shunned, to avoid a contamination of your Tory principles. " I may be in error in that opinion ; but I view the situa tion in which you have placed yourself in canvassing for, and in advocating the cause of, Sir Francis Burdett as very extraordinary ; and I made my remarks thereof very freely. " Sir -Francis Burdett has for many years advocated universal suffrage, annual Parliaments, vote by ballot, with other sweeping. reforms in Church and State, which , your uncle uniformly opposed ; and I, therefore, think that every sincere, honest, and consistent Reformer ought to avoid you and Sir Francis, if ha be changed, from the fear of being corrupted by your company. " I hope this explanation will satisfy you that we may differ politically, as wide as the poles, without giving per sonal insult—l meant none ; and remain, my Lord, your obedient Servant, JOSEPH HUME. Viscount Castlereagh, M.P." "Sir—l herewith enclose Lord 'Castlereagh's answer to your letter Of yesterday, and I beg to inform you I bat I shill feel it incumbent on me to puWish the comspondence. " I remain your obedient servant. " G. 13ENT1NCK. "39, Mount-strieet, May 13. " 23,_ Chapelstreet, May 13.. " Sir,—ln answer to your letter of yesterday, which reached ma tins morning, I have only to say that, altbotrgh I consider it is a mere quibble, and evasive of the question contained in mine, yet as you state that you intended no personal insult to me in the version of the words attributed to you in The Sun newspaper, I do no; feel entitled to call upon you for any further explanation of them. But as in that letter you have presumed to make your own animad versions upon my political conduct, and confess thet you have remarked therewt very f, eely, I must beg in my turn to state to you that I admit of no such tight of ani madversion or remark, couched in suck terms ; and that the only inducement I could have to disregard your comments would be, contempt for the source from which they spring. " I hale no doubt your attack on my political opinions is levelled indirectly against those of the late Lord London derry ; but had the expressions which I have called upon you to explain, been applied directly to him, I should have felt equally bound to require their retractation. " I dist►nctly discla►m my assent to your doctrine that moral good►:ea and political dishonesty are compatible ; and I leave to you the defence of a creed which you have made your own.—l am. Sir, your obedient servant, - " CASTLEREAGH." HIGHLAND DESTITUTION. On Saturday a public meeting was held in Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's, for tii purpose of taking into consideration the best means of relieving the distress in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The meeting, in consequence of the unfavourable state of the weather, was not numerously but was very respectably attended. The Duke of Buccleuch took the Chair. His Grace was supported by the Duke of Montrose, the Earl of Strath more, Lord Claude Hamilton, the Hon Mr. Macdonald, Sir Charles Dalbiac, the Bishop of Exeter, Major Cum ming Bruce, Mr. Charles Barclay, Mr. Balfour, Mr. Camp bell, Colonel Innes, Sir Andrew Agnew, and other Mem bers of Parliament. Captain Gordon, M.P., was the first speaker, and after he had addressed the meeting the Secre tary, Dr. Crombie, read the Rnports of the various Com mittees, which entered into a detailed statement of the causes and effects of the famine. Extracts from Reports, and other communications, received from Clergymen in various parts of the country, were also read, by which it appears, as was stated in Scriptural language by a Right Rev. Prelate, that " the fields yield no meat, the flocks are cut off from the fold, neither is there any herd in the stall." Every source which has been tried has failed, and many thousands are represented to be suffering at this moment under the sternest privations which can fall to the lot of humanity. The meeting was subsequently addressed by the Bishop of Exeter, Lord Strathmore, Major Cumming Bruce, and se veral Clergymen and landholders from the Highlands, each giving a description of the state of their own particular dis tricts. A series of resolutions were passed carrying out the objects of the meeting, and a Committee of Noblemen and Gentlemen was appointed to raise subscriptions in the wes tern parts of the metropolis. A resolution was also adop ted, expressive of the gratitude of the meeting to the Arch bishop of Tuam for the manner in which he had exerted himself throughout the province of Connaught in aid of the sufferers. A subscription to the amount of nearly 3001. was also entered into, but we regret to state much yit re mains to be done, as the sum subscribed, amounting to 18,0001., is totally inadequate to relieve the sufferers, 80,000 of whom are destitute of the means of subsistence. The meeting separated after passing a vote of thanks to the Noble Chairman, who subscribed the sum of 501. GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR THE WEEK. (From the Gardeners' Gazette.) Turn all gravel walks yet undone, level them, and after treading closely all over the surface, roll well with a heavy roller. In the present uncertain state of the weather risk nothing tender out of doors ; most greenhouse plants, even camellias and rhododendrons, which are as hardy as most things, are growing, and the nightly frost will destroy their tendons. Propagate stove and greenhouse plants by cuttings. Let hardwooded sorts have a little bottom heat, and be covered down with a glass ; but some sorts will do best by layers, for which, select small pliable branches. Look well to watering plants in housds ; while growing they take occasionally a good deal, and always want con stant attention. Shift all plants whose roots have filled the pots, unless the object be to stunt their growth for the purpose of throwing them into bloom ; remember, when this is the case, a few hours without water when they require it will soon kill them. Continue to cleanse all borders, beds, and crops from weeds, and especially see that this is done with all young plants or plants just coming up. RANUNCULUSSES.-Stir : tile earth between the roots earthing up each plant a little. Propagate fibrous rooted plants by parting the roots. AunleuLAs are now in genoral at the height of their bloom, see they have water enough, and the drainage good, and that they are kept with plenty of air, and no sun. DAHLIAS must be well protected of a night, if planted out, but we do not recommend planting yet. TULIPS require great protection, the frosts we now have most nights or early in the morning would greatly injure the blooms of those which have been covered. The cloths may be put up now for the convenience of readily covering them against hail stones but, the under covering of the nights must not be discontinued until there is a total change of the weather. Otto of Roses is made from the hundred-leaved rose (Rosa cenqblia), which species is also used exclusively in the distillation of rose water. The genuine otto of roses is not, it is said, prepared by distillation, but by putting a quantity of carefully picked rose leaves into a jar or cask, with just suffi :-;ient water to cover them. The vessel is then set in the sun for a few days, and in about a week the otto (a butyraceous oil) collects in the form of a scum upon the surface, and is re moved by a piece of cotton.—Conversations on Nature and Art. CANADA. Protest by Lord Brougham against the resolutions re garding Lower Canada, entered on the Lords' journals on Thursday last : "- Dissentient, " First, Because these resolutions, embracing a great variety of important subjects, upon which different opi nions may be entertained by the same persons, were all put to the vote at once, in a House consisting of not a tenth part of the numbers that frequently attend when questions affecting the interests of political parties, or even individuals, stand for discussion. " econd y, Because, though some of these resolutions are justifiable, there are others, and especially the eighth, which set all considerations of sound policy, of generosity, and of justice at defiance, and will most likely be regarded as indicating a design to crush whatever spirit of opposi tion to the executive government may, at any time, and for any cause, show itself in any portion of the North Ameri can provinces. " Thirdly, Because it is the fundamental principle of the British Constitution, which was intended to be established in Canada by the Act of 1791, and was finally promulgated in 1831, that no part of the taxes levied upon the people shall be applied to any purpose whatever without the con sent of their representatives in Parliament ; and this con trol over the revenue ought, in an especial manner, to be vested in the people of the Colonies, seeing that it never can give them the same unlimited influence which it con fers upon the people of the Parent State ; for if supplies are withheld by the Commons of England on account of grievance, the Crown has no other resource, and the griev ance must be redressed ; whereas, if the Commons of the Colony withhold supplies for the like reasons, the Crown cannot by this proceeding be obliged to redress the griev ance as long as the Parliament of the Mother Country is willing to furnish the fund required. " Fourthly, Because the taking possession of the money placed by the British Parliament at the disposal of the colonial councils, without their consent, is wholly subver sive of the aforesaid fundamental principles, and directly contrary to the wise and salutary provisions of the Act payed in 1831; nor does it at all signify that this is said only to be done upon the present occasion, and that the rights of the colonial Parliament are represented as left un impaired. The precedent of 1837 will ever after be cited in support of such oppressive proceedings, as often as the Commons of any colony may withhold supplies, how jus tifiable soever their refusal may be, or in whatever designs the executive government may be engaged. " Fifthly, Eecause the constitution of the council, having been tried for nearly half a century, has not only failed to produce the advantages expected from it, but, after occa sioning the most serious evils, has ended in bringing the le gislative operations of the Colonial Parliament to a close, and there seems good ground to hope that the evils now complained of may be remedied by introducing the elective principle into the constitution of this body, under due mo difications. But the fourth resolution seems to pledge Par liament against ever introducing that principle, since it is not possible to conceive any circumstance justifying its in troduction if the existing state of things does not. " Sixthly, because the spirit in which these proceedings are conceived is avowedly adverse to the opinions and de sires of a vast. majority of the inhabitants of LoWer Ca nada ; and the to less pl..inly avowed of ject for bringing them forward is, by the authoritative declaration of Par liament, to put down the principles and to thwart the incli nations so generally prevailing among the people of that province. " Seventhly, because these proceedings, so clearly resem bling the fatal measures that severed the United States from Great Britain, have their origin in principles and de rive their support from reasonings which form a prodigious contrast to the whole grounds and the only defence of the policy during later years, so justly and so wisely sanc tioned by the Imperial Parliament, in administering the affairs of the mother country. Nor is it easy to ima gine that the inhabitants of either the Amerie„n -or the European branches of the empire should co: - &mplate so strange a contrast without drawing inferences therefrom discreditable to the character of the Leg'slature, and injurious to the future sa:ety of the State. When they mark with what different measure we mete to six hundred thousand inhabitants of a remote province, unrepresented in Parliament, and to six millions of our fellow-citizens nearer home, and making themselves heard by their Representatives, the reflection will assuredly arise in Canada, and may possibly find its way into Ireland, that the sacred rules of justice, the most worthy feelings of na tional generosity, and the soundest principles of enlight• ened policy may be appealed to in vain if the demands of the suitor be not also supported by personal interests, and party views, and political fears amongst those whose aid he seeks ; while all men perceiving that many persons have found themselves at liberty to hold a course towards an important but remote province which their constituents never would suffer to be pursued towards the most incon siderable burgh of the United Kingdom, an impression-will inevitably be propagated most dangerous to the mainte nance of colonial dominion, that the people can never safely entrust the powers of Government to any supreme authority not residing among themselves. " B RO UG M." RAILWAY BILLS. On Friday the House of Lards a'lopted the following additional Standing Orders on the subject of Railway Bills : " Resolved—That before any Bill shall be read a second time in this House for making any Railway, or for varying, extending, or enlarging any such Railway already made, lists of the owners, lessees, and occupiers, distinguishing which of them have assented to or dissented from such in tended Railway, or such variation, extension, or enlarge ment, or are neuter in respect thereof up to the time of such Bill having been brought up to the House from the House of Commons, and an estimate of the expense, signed by the person making the same, and a copy of the subscrip tion contract after mentioned be deposited in the office of the clerk of the Parliaments, and that the receipt thereof be acknowledged accordingly by one of the clerks of the said office upon such documents. " Resolved—That no Committee on any private Bill relating to Railways shall have power to examine into the compliance with the Standing Orders, nor into any parts of the contents of any notice, list, ' application in writing, estimate, book of reference or contract, or of any copy of any notice, list, application in writing, estimate, books of reference, or contract, nor of any plan or section, or copy of any plan or section which are or may be hereafter ordered by any Standing Order of the House, to be given, made, deposited, or produced by the parties applying for such private Bill previously to the second reading thereof in the House, excepting only in so far as may be rzquired to enable such Committee to report as to the sufficiency of the estimate to be proved in evidence before them accord ing to the Standing Orders of the House." COLLIERY ACCIDEN T. Loss OF THIRTY-ONE LlVRS.—Yesterday (Wednes day) an alarmingly fatal accident happened in the Argeod colliery, belonging to Messrs. Hampton. It appears that a considerable increase of water had flowed into the mines from the northward of the works during the preceditv , ten days. This was supposed to come from some of the old works, or " deads," and as the engines were powerful enough to keep it under it excited no dread in the minds of the colliers, who continued their work as usual. On the men going down into the works on Wednesday morning the water had increased to a great height in the east works, and about nine o'clock the under-ground-agent gave orders to the men to leave off work and go to the surface. The order had scarcely been given when the roaring of the water rushing in with dreadful impetuosity was heard, and the men, eighteen in number, ran to the shafts, and by a miracle escaped to the surface. The water was running past them as they were getting out, knee deep, and filling the engine-pits, which were on a lower level of coal. There were upwards of thirty indivi duals at work in the engine-pits when the water rushed in only two of whom had the power of escaping, which they did by climbing up the engine ; the others were too far off to render escape possible before they were covered with water. The steam-engine was immediately set pumping with all its available power, but the water gained so fear fully upon it as to be in a quarter of an hour fifteen yards deep in the main shaft, thus rendering all power of assist ance completely hopeless. The colliery bank during the day presented a most heart-rending scene, from the parents, wives, and children of the sufferers, some in despair, others, still clinging to hope, calling on those relatives lost by therm in terms of frantic despair or the tenderest affection. It is quite uncertain when the bodies can be recovered, which de pends upon the time the engine takes in reducing the water in the mine. No hopes are entertained of the lives of any of the: men being saved, for should any hare escaped drown ing the accumulation of foul air in the mine, after ventila tion has been suspended, would inevitably suffocate them. The number of the sufferers has been ascertained to be thirty-one, ten of whom are married men leaving large fa milies of now destitute children. The body of one boy has been washed LT.—Chester Chronicle. The Reformers of St. Martin-in-the-Ficld.s have in vited J. T. Leader, Esq., to a public dinner to-morrow, at the Lowther Rooms, King William-strect, Strand. Most of the provincial papers contain accounts of the preparations making in their several districts to celebrate the birth-day of the Princess Victoria, the 24th inst., when her Royal Highness will attain her legal majority. There are various modes suggested of distinguishing this event—some recommending subscriptions for the benefit of the poor --others the old-fashioned John Bull method of a substantial dinner. SPAIN. SAN SEBASTIAN, MAY 6, 11 O'CLOCK P.M.—.This mor ning at daybreak an attack was made on the Casa de Aguirre, the fortified house at our advance, by between three and four thousand men, part of whom crept up to within a short distance of it, and rushed upon the men who were on guard around it : this guard fell back, but the party belonging to the same Spanish regiment—the Spanish 2d light infantry—stationed within the house, bravely defended it. A party of the enemy obtained possession of two small houses in the rear of our advance, but they were soon driven out of them. Colonel Jochmus, quartermaster-general ; Captain John son, of the same department, and Captain Hermettger, of the Lancers, who happened to be on the spot, gallantly put themselves at the head of the Chapelgorris, and charged the enemy, who fled precipitately. Colonel Jochmus re ceived a contusion in the thigh from a spent ball. The field battery and rockets of the Legion were speedily brought up ; the rockets, commanded by Captain Hamilton, and a six-pounder, under the direction of Captain How, being placed to the left, in advance of the Cassa de Aguirre. They had not been long there before vollies were fired on them from a strong body of Carlists stationed in a wood close in front ; when they rushed on the gun and rockets. A party of the 2d Spanish Light Infantry Regiment, who were sent to support the guns, did not keep their ground ; and, in consequence, it was with great difficulty that Captains How and Hamilton with Lieutenant Shaw could retire in time to save the gun and rockets, and their own lives. A sergeant and a man belonging to Captain Hamil ton's company were wounded ; the right arm of the former is fractured. Captain Hamilton had a most narrow escape. Anxious to save a rocket pole which was lying on the ground, as the men were retiring he stepped forward and got it. At that timment a party of Carlists came up, and the officer was in the act of catching hold of him, when a Mr. Dickson, who is an officer on the half-pay of the British army, and is in the habit of going out when there is any fighting, going forward, caught up a loaded musket which had belonged to a Carlist who was lying dead beside him, and shot the officer dead. This gallant act, by which the life of a most brave and active officer of the British Legion has been saved, is highly deserving cf being recorded. It was perceived that the enemy had thrown up a work during the night in advance of and below their redoubt nearest to our outposts ; there were three guns mounted on this work, and they opened soon after daylight upon our line. The field battery of the Legion was advantageously posted on a plateau within range of these guns, and con tinued firing, with very little intermission, during the day. I ought to have mentioned that a picket-house, to the right of the Casa de Aguirre, was most gallantly defended during the whole day by a party of the Spanish 2d Light Infantry, a commandant of which and two officers were unfortunately killed. Several cannon shot were thrown into this roofless house from the Carlist battery, and killed one and wounded nine men, but the brave fellows stood out most manfully. The spherical case-shot from our artillery did great exe cution, and at length the Carlists, whO had about half a battalion in the work thrown up in the night, retired from it, leaving only a few men there. On their way up to the redoubt the spherical case-shot were poured in upon them, and must have killed great numbers. In the affairs in the morning there was some sharp fight ing between the 2d Light Infantry, the Chapelgorris, and the Carlists. Both these Spanish regiments had a good many men wounded ; they each, too, took some prisoners in houses ; I am sorry to say they put them all to death ; the numbers vary so extremely, according to different ac cmints, that ;t is difficult to vouch for their correctness. In one house I was told just now that an officer and six men only were killed by the Chapelgorris ; I had before heard there were thirty ; and I knew from the Colonel com manding the 2d Light Infantry that his men shot several Carlists who fell into their hands : this officer expressed his deep regret at the circumstance. These things are, in deed, very deplorable ; but the Carlists have provoked them over and over again, and the massacres of our country men have exawerated their brothers in erms, the Spa niars, especially the Chapelgorris, who arc much attached to the Legion. Whilst this skirmishing and firing was going on to the left of our line, the Royal Artillery and Royal Marine Artillery were firing at the enemy's redoubts from the tongue of land below Puyu, under the direction of Col. Colquhoun. The eight-inch howitzers were extremely well directed. At about four in the afternoon the firing ceased, ex cepting a shell or two now and then from the guns of the Legion. The loss on the part of the Queen's troops, os far as can be ascertained, is the three officers of the 2d. Light Infantry above named killed, and about eighty men killed and wounded, principally the latter. The Cellists must have lied between three and four hundred killed and wounded. Ninety dead have been counted on the field. Two Carlist prisoners have been taken, and five de serters came over. The latter say that a whole battalion of Castilians is ready to do so the first favourable oppor tunity. With the exception of the artillery, the British Legion was hardly employed yesterday. The 6th regiment re lieved the Chapelgorris at the outpo3ts, and had a very fine appearance. Three or four men of the rifles were wounded. The result of yesterday's operations has encouraged the Queen's soldiers, and must have had quite the contrary effect on the Carlists, who, we are told, say they will not fight again where spherical case-shot are used against them. Whilst what I have stated was going on, 1,500 fine men of the 3d Regiment of Royal Guards were being disem barked from the I?badanzanthus (British) and the Illeteore (French) man-of-war steamers, which returned afterwards to Portugalete for more. It is expected that the whole of the reinforcements will be here on Monday, when the Conde de Luchana will arrive. Letters have been re ceived here from his Excellency to that effect. Colonel Wylde will accompany him. Shortly after this the grand movements will, no doubt, commence; and every thing in dicates that they will be successful, although, as expressed in former letters, there are great difficulties to be sur mounted, arising out of the nature of the country, the for midable positions occupied and at the command of the enemy, and the great preparations both in regard to artil lery and other warlike resources, which the Carlists have made to resist the determined attack about to be made upon them. Count Mirasol, who was Captain-general of Biscay, and governor of Bilboa during its first memorable siege, ar rived here yesterday, and will have the command of a di vision. He is an excellent officer, and well known to and esteemed by General Evans ; in short, everything promises well. As soon as all the Spanish troops shall have arrived I will send you a correct statement of the force assembled here. It will consist as far as can be at present ascer tained, of upwards of 30,000 men ; the cavalry, about 400, are expected to-day. The mass of the faction is stationed at present, accord ing to the best information th a t can b e o bt a i ne d, b e t ween Oriamendi (the Venta-hill) and Hernani. The Pretender loft Estella, says my informant, on the Ist inst., and arrived on the 3d at Villafranca de Guipuzcoa. During the affair of the 3d inst., when Loyola and all the com man di ng p os iti ons around, now occupied by our troops , were taken, with the loss of only one man killed and three wounded, two Carlist officers were clangorously wounded, one of them by a'rock et ; four Carlists killed, and six seriously wounded, besides seve ral slightly. Desertions continue from the Carlists in every direction ; two presented themselves a day or two ago on the French frontier, with their arms and ammunition. They stated that thirty-five men were coming within them, but that they were obliged to remain behind, in consequence of the great number of Carlist sentries placed along the frontier to prevent desertion. The affair yesterday will, no doubt, have the effect of bringing over numbers of deserters from the force in front of us. Such is their dread of our ar tillery. Accounts received to-night from Balm confirm the ac counts already communicated to you of the increased scarcity of Wheat and Indian Corn in the insurgent pro vinces. In Biscay this scarcity exists to the same extent as in Guipuzcoa. Two more Carlist battalions have been detached from Durango and Abadiano ; and two more (Navarrese) from the vicinity of Bilboa to the army in front of us. There are seven Biscayan battalions under the command of the Carlist chief Guergue, in observation of Bilboa and Balmaseda. The Carlist force now concentrated in this neighbourhood is at least 25 battalions. Eight guns have lately been sent from Biscay towards Ilernani ; three of them are of heavy calibre. There has been another exchange of prisoners at Bilboa. Two hundred officers and men were liberated on each side. Tho chief of the Conde de Lucliana's staff, General Esca lesa, superintended the exchange. The Christinos were returned almost in a state of nudity, and evidently suffer ing from privations of every kind ; the Carlists who had been prisoners in the hands of the Queen's authorities were delivered up decently clothed, and after having been treated with the utmost humanity. This will have its effect. STAGE-COACH BENEVOLENCE.—OIiver waited at the bottom of a steep hill till a stage-coach came up, and then begged of the outside passengers ; but there were very few who took any notice of him, and even those, told him to wait till they got to the top of the hill, and then let them see how far he could run for a halfpenny. Poor Oliver tried to keep up with the coach a little way, but was unable to do it, by reason of his fatigue and sore feet. When the outsides saw this, they put their halfpence back into their pockets again , declaring that he was an idle young dog, and didn't deserve any thing; amid the coach rattled away, and left only a cloud of dust behind.—Oliver Twist, by Box, in Bentley's Miscel lany tor May. IRELAND. THE AGGREGATE MEETING.—The meeting to be held this day will be the most important political movement ever made in Dublin. The Dublin Evening Post of Sa turday says, " The columns of signatures to the requisi tion contain all that is wanting to adorn and secure the triumph of a great cause. Whether we look to rank, for tune, intelligence, or numbers, we see in the array before us all that our anxiety for the victorious issue of the con test in which we are engaged leads us to desire. In the front we see the illustrious and inspiring name of Charle mont, shedding its hereditary lustre a second time over the struggles of Ireland for her rights. The people of England have been told the Irish popular party area rab ble, that their force is purely physical, that their ignorance and violence have disgusted and driven from their ranks ; not only the whole aristocracy of the country, but all that is respectable and influential in the middle classes. If a single Englishman has believed this, the vast catalogue of distinguished names subscribed to the requisition for this meeting will give him corrector notions. The names of Headfort, Meath, Fingall, Talbot, Gormanstown, Cloncur ry, Rosmore, and Milltown, will undeceive him. In the long liss of peers, baronets, Members of Parliament, opu lent merchants, and worthy and substantial citizens, which it will fatigue him to peruse, he will see the true nature and character of that party which the House of Lords con tinues to pronounce unworthy of British institutions, or to be trusted with the management of their own affairs. It is most important at this juncture that such a demonstra tion as this should be made of the true resources of the popular power. At a moment when, in the enjoyment of all the advantages of a just and beneficent Administra tion, we are openly menaced with the revival of a system of government fatal to our nearest interests, it is of infinite consequence that the depth and the extent to which hatred of Tory principles, dread of Tory power, anxiety for order, and attachment to British connexion, pervade the people of Ireland, should be made thoroughly known both to the Crown and to the empire. GREAT COUNTY MEETING.—One of the most numerous and influential meetings ever held in Wexford took place on Wednesday, for the purpose of placing implicit confidence in the present paternal administration. The Lord Lieute nant of the county, Lord Carew, presided. The market house of Enniscorthy was fixed upon as the placed meeting, but the crowd was so great that it was found necessary to adjourn to the Abbey grounds, where about lil,ooo people quickly assembled. The meeting was addressed by the Noble Chairman, Sir Thomas Esmonde, Messrs. J. Boyse, Waddy, L. E. White, Dcrinzy, Harvey, Martin, Doyle, Sze. KINSALE.—Mr. Mahony has declared his intention of standing for this borough, when the opportunity arrives for soliciting the suffrages of the electors. He is a genuine Reformer, and speaks his sentiments with a frankness that must command the respect of all. W e beg to call the attention of House of Lords to the following statement, which we abridge from the Wexford Independent : In our last number, we endeavoured to convey to our readers a faint idea of the public ferment caused here on Thursday last by the strange doings of the tithe eaters. It will be remembered, that the friends of the quadruped prisone:4, confined in Wexford gaol, offered bail for their forthcoming on any future day, if they (the p: isoners) would be liberated, which offer was refused by the Sheriff ; that the country people suspected there was some foul play, in the shape of a secret or collusive sale, intended, and consequently were on the qui vice for the three days pre , vious to the sale. However, we must say, that the Sheriff acted in this instance, in a fair and impartial spirit ; and gave the legal notice to the owners of the cattle of his in tention to offer them by public auction to the highest and best bidder on Monday. In the morning of that day all the avenues loading to our town were actually choked with pedestrians and horsemen of all classes, and from all parts of the county, north and south, extending to Arklow on the one side, and Hook tower on the other, anxious to be pre sent at the expected immolation , and before one o'clock, every street in the town, the extensive gaol - grounds, and contiguous passages thereto, presented one living mass of human beings. Two companies of the 14th Regiment, now stationed here, with about one hundred of the constabulary, were in attendance to keep the peace. A horse was first brought out by the bailiff—every auc tioneer, as usual, refusing to sell—who laboured with unwonted zeal to get a bid from the surrounding thousands, but in vain. Captain Rathbourne, then an nounced that there was no bidder, which announcement was responded to by a shout that made the welkin ring— so long, so loud, so truly from the heart, that it conveyed more forcibly the indomitable hatred of the people to tithes, than the most gifted eloquence or irrefragable written argu ment could possibly do. The sale was immediately after declared to be adjourned ; but no day has yet been named. Again, the owners of the cattle offered bail for their repro duction, if they would be permitted to go home ; but such offer was as pertinaciously refused as before. We hear that the Sheriff received a letter from Mr. Stevens Goff, plain tiff's solicitor, ordering him to adjourn from day to day until bidders can be procured ; but, if that scheme should fail, to ship them for Liverpool. Will the English people buy? There's the rub. Is was argued by the Tithophagi, during the late shrievalty, that if the army and police were brought out against the people ; or rather we should say, ostensibly to protect bidders, sales could be effected. Well, the experiment has now been satisfactorily tested ; and the abortion has been more calamitous for those who conceived so sans a project, than any that ever befel the. tithe men since the beginning of the campaign. The military, Capt. Rathbourne, and the Hon. Captain Hay, were cheered throughout the day. It is true we have had to record many scenes of this kind heretofore ; and, if the House of Lords continues in its present obstinate mood, we shall, we imagine, have much more of the same kind to lay before it. O'CONNELL.—A grateful nation is again about to li quidate a portion of the debt it owes to its liberator and regenerator. The citizens of Waterford, ever alive to the claims of the distinguished champion of their liberties, have been the first in the field on this occasion to record their sentiments in his regard.— Waterford Chronicle. Humouous.—A letter of credit from the Kilkenny Bank was presented, a few days back, by Mr. Gallaher, the cele brated ventriloquist (who has arrived in Dublin), to be cashed, which was objected to until the inimitable Paul Doherty would be identified as the proper person ; on this account he was obliged to view all the clerks of the great hall, to find some person who knew him ; and one gentle man in particular recognised him, and most kindly went with him to the cashier ; but this would not do, as it was written in the letter the word ventriloquist ; the gentleman merely said he knew him from a late transaction in the bank as a Mr. Gallaher, put had no idea he was the ventrilo quist. This greatly confused Mr. G., who stated that if it was only that doubt was to be cleared up, he would do it to their satisfaction, and greatly to his. At this moment he threw his voice in one of the desks, and then in the sto mach of one of the clerks, which so annoyed them that they required no further proof, and very politely discharged his demand. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR PERTH Not in the memory of the oldest inhabitant of Perth has so destructive a fire taken place as what occurred last Tues day in the immediate neighbourhood of this fair city. The most extensive, and, as it decidedly is, the most commodious and most magnificent establishment for lunatics in Britain, has been destroyed—at all events has been so impaired as to render it, in the mean time, totally unfit for the recep tion of patients. Murray's Royal Asylum for Lunatics has been destroyed by fire. Amidst the confusion consequent upon so dreadful an event it cannot be supposed that we are able to supply our readers with the origin of the fire ; suffice it, in the mean time, to state that publia rumour ascribes it to the cook of the establishment being permitted to cure the vents by burning them. This remedy being put in execution, the fire speedily communicated by the joists to the upper suite of apartments, which in their turn ignited the roof. The flames then burst out in annihilating fury, and long before assistance could be procured from the town the whole mass of building appeared to be the unrelenting victim of the de vouring element. So furiously did the flames rage, and so magnificent did the scene appear to the surrounding coun try, that the rural population were attracted, and their at tention totally rivetted to the spot. The asylum is built upon a very elevated situation, probably 300 feet above the level of the sea, and it commands a view extending in all directions, except to the south-east, of about twenty or thirty miles. This circumstance will account for the con flagration having been descried at such a distance. from the scene of action, and the inhabitants of the immedirte neighbourhood, close upon the classic hill of Birnam, be held the horizon illuminated situated north-eastward. The patients, amounting, male and female, to nearly five hundred, were, until more suitable quarters could be provided, lodged in the airing ground of the establish ment, but when the fire had, by the exertions of the fire men, somewhat subsided, these unfortunate individuals, at least the male portion of them, were removed to the depot, where admirable accommodations awaited them. It was amusing, if we can, amidst the general conflagration, in dulge in that strain, to observe the display of the varied feelings which animated the inmates of the asylum. Some danced as if rejoicing in the destruction of the place of their confinement ; some looked indifferent ; some sulky and displeased ; but all seemed prodigiously astonished at the novelty of the scene. The local authorities deserve, upon this occasion, the thanks of the community for their exertions, as di; the detachment of the 74th Regiment, who were in attendance ; and Mr. Sheriff Barclay, in par ticular, distinguished himself by his zeal and judgment. The loss is estimated at 15,000/., which is covered by the insurances in different offices. WINDSOR. SATURDAY.—His Majesty and the Princess Angus' took their accustomed airing this afternoon. The report of her Majesty's health is, we are happY to say, still favourable. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, the Milo: of Richmond, Generi.l Wheatley, Baron D'Ompteda, and Mdlle. D'Este, arrived at the Castle this morning, and, after lunching with his Majesty, returned to their . respective re sidences. Lord and Lady Winchilsea, Lord and Lady Barrington, and Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, will arrive this evening on a visit to their 'Majekties. SUNDAY.—This morning his Majesty attended divin e service in the private chapel of the Castle. The Rev. Mr. Wood read prayers, and an eloquent sermon was preached by the Rev. Isaac Gosset. In the afternoon, the King, accompanied by her Roy? Highness the Princess Augusta, took a carriage airing in the Park. It is very gratifying to learn that her Majesty' continues to improve.
