S 'PITALFIELDS WEAN ERS' BALL. Ha tt is but justice to the liberality of those individuals whose I,Flee follow that of our benevolent Monarch to give pub tile:7 to the following donations, which have been sent by i n s e who, from various circumstances, were prevented attend ,3 the Spitalfields Weavers ball on Thursday night :—Her Majesty, 100/. ; the Countess of Warwick, 101. ; - Mr. Sloan Manley, 101 . ; and Sir Claudius Hunter, .5/. It is hoped that other Individuals, similarly situated, may ha induced to follow bf gpod an example and deposit their donations or the price their unredeemed vouchers in the course of Monday the ' O 4 Stli, tot* Tuesday the Bth, with Messrs. Drummoncfs, on r.coot of die Spitalfields Weavers' ball, so as to enable the C ommittee to ley before the public a clear account of receipts, e xpenditure, and balance disposable for the charitable object for which their Majesties. patronized this ball. Hints have been thrown ,out, that persons have taken Vouchers without intending to redeem them ; thus this cha lltable fund would be diminished. I will not believe it pos sible i net as the names and residences of all individuals receiving voucherg have been carefully registered, the Corn mitt-ee may (and in my opinion ought to) publish the names of the defaulters ; as I now venture (without their authority) to publish the names of the benefactors of the Charity. 1 havo the honour to be, your obedient Servant, June 3, 1837.

Their Lordships soon afterwards adjourned. In:the House of Commons, Mr. WASON having asked t ome` question respe c ting the delay that had attended the Imprisonment for Debt Bill, Ile ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that he himself was not ;It chargeable with the fault, and that he deplored the d elay as most unfortunate. Sir G. SI NCLAIR t h en t oo k th e opportunity of Lord RUSSELL'S moving the adjournment of the House till I °oday' t o o b serve on t h e postponement o f t h e " B u d ge t," at the same time to throw out alarms and to sow distrust 1 1 1 1 1 : 4 dissatisfa c ti on — pre di ct i ng , or a ff ect i ng t o pre di c t, f rom e e,. present temporary embarrassments of commerce, that I t've - many months we should have a National Bankruptcy. 'Lord JOHN RUSSELL deprecated such desultory and ' diseu.sfon Mr RICHARDS followed in the wake of , , xi Sir • ,G • oINCLAIIt, as did Colone l SIBTHORP. Mr. Ito thN•soiq did not see what the Government had to do with Prevalent commercial distress, nor did he share Sir Sinclair's alarming forebodings. The present distress Zvasf not nearly so great as that witnessed in 1826, and thought that the worst had already passed away. L ord MORP ETH stated, in reply to Mr. Crawford, that fue-'inilitary wh o recen tly a tt en d e d a tith e sa l e a t Wex tlived s w i i t t e h ri _loaded arms' had acted under the authority of n answe r to a question, put by Mr. Roebuck respecting iL e : c tiPture of the Vi xen , L or d PALMERSTON stated that ""iiegociations between the, two Governments had ter !lliOited in a conviction that England would not be justified making any further demand on Russia. „'he remainder of the sitting, was chiefly occupied with .consideratio-n in Committee of the Irish Poor Relief - Two. amendments were negatived ; that proposed by BkatioN by a majority of 68, and Mr. SMITH Y l3 ltiEses, in favour of " out-door domiciliary relief to the aged, helpless, and infirm poor," was rejected by 138 over a minority of 50. The clauses from 36 to 42, inclusive, were eventually disposed of. - The House then went into Committee on the registration of Births and Marriages Bill, .and eighteen of the clauses were then snood to. _ The House adiourned at a Quarter to Two o'Clock. Loud complaints have been made for some time in the Commons, and chiefly by •the Tory underlingS, ana, men who came into • Parliament as ardent Ito f°rlnerg, like Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR and Mr. IlIcHAnDs, that the House has for days and nights been discussing questions which are of no moment to th e country, and that almost an entire stop has in aequen ce b een p u t . t o pu bli c b us i ness . N o d o ubt th ere is some truth in the s t a t emen t s ; a nd the only fault We hav e t o fi n d With th e s e g en tl emen i s , th a t they d o i not t e ll t h e w h o l e trut h , an d a d m i t t h at i t i s t h e tl Pe't-uf thei r p ar ty t o d o ever ything in their power to obst ruct busi ness , f or th e p ur pose of annoying and W e akening the Ministry. We have only to look at 1 ; e.. -House o f L or d s — t h e b o dy th a t r epresents true °r Yi'inl--to b e conv i n c e d of the fact. For the fomle of the Session they have done nothing to th r';vard, but every thing to retard and obstruct, Ce me asures sent up by the Commons. With the th e P t i'm of the 'Wills Bill, we know of no Bill of lie sli ghtest importance that has originated in that .use and the o nly Bill o f grea t national importance t o d th 3ha t required i mme di a te discussion, when sent up by etn ' Was, after o ne p re t e nce and another, thrown for est rnore th an s i x wee k s , w i t h t h e v i ew pro b a bly of ; c l i ng it alto ge th er . I n the Commons the party L i on ntadttlie same object in view. By wanton opposi- . th ° beneficial measures t h e y have protracted for ree ' ni ghts, debates which ought to have been fully. r"ed of atone sitting; of for • they have introduced questions to eL ' e el gn poli c y on Order nights, and contrived also aa y . ate adjourned debates on them ; and even at 444 at Period of the g ...eqvioll we are threatened for next week with a renewed debate of at least two nights on Bishops' leases. Nothing can prove more clearly the object of the Opposition than the course they have pursued with regard to this measure. When the question was brought forward by the Government, the Tories indignantly asked what right Ministers had to suppose, before a thorough investigation had taken place, that a surplus could be created ? They resisted the measure night after night chiefly on that account, and now that Lord (Tom; RUSSELL pro poses to take them at their word, and make au in quiry, they are to stop public business for a great portion of next week in opposing it. The people naturally complain that so little is done by Parlia ment ; but Lord LYNDHURST and his party are greatly mistaken in supposing that they are to be re called to office, or that they can acquire the confidence of the public, by acting the part of Obstructives. We naturally distrust an individual who opposes a bene ficial measure because lie is not made a party to it, and, so far from yielding, are inclined only to make the more determined resistance to his pretensions. We are not in the least surprised to see Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR take a leaf out of Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S book. There is a natural sympathy between the Caithness and the Cumberland Baronet. They are both renegades from those political principles to which they owe their seats in Parliament, and both are distinguished by a sanctimonious profession of reli gious zeal—of righteousness " above what is written." These two " unto gude" personages—like all other apostates—endeavour to recommend themselves to their new associates by displaying, whenever an oppor tunity offers, the most inveterate hatred towards their old ones. The closer the alliance of former days, the more bitter the present enmity. That is the rule in such cases made and provided, and it seems to arise naturally enough from the necessity of removing, by the outward show of sincerity, the instinctive suspi cion which is awakened in the mind of man towards those who desert their principles and their friends. The Caithness Saint—we are sorry he bears the name of the Patron Saint of England—last night showed the world how far a deep sense of religion will allow a Christian to carry his political animosities. He attempted, and indeed did what in him lay, to give a fresh impulse to the anxiety which the unfortu nate state of our commercial affairs has so generally excited, .by exaggerating prevent evils, and predicting still greater and even overwhelming ones for the future. And what was the gist of all this ? Why, to em barrass Ministers, as the Hon. Baronet imagined. His object was to show that Ministers ought to be made responsible for all the distress that had occurred, and might occur in the mercantile world ! ! Now this displays ignorance so gross, and malice so bitter, that we have not words to express our sense of it. If this man had meant to aggravate the calamity which he pretended to lament, he could not have adopted a surer method of attaining his end. To excite alarm, and sow distrust, when it is the duty of every one to inspire confidence, is the province of a fiend, not of , a patriot—still less of a Christian. The conduct of the Government in voting against an inquiry into the truth of the ,charges of military tyranny preferred against Colonel ARTHUR, late Go vernor of Van Diemen's Land, by Lieutenant-Colonel BRADLEY, will appear to all who take but an isolated view of the question, wholly inexplicable. In the printed correspondence laid before the House of Commons, we find Colonel ARTHUR praying for the most public in vestigation—challenging inquiry—and boasting of his ability to rebut every accusation that can be brought against him. This looks like the conduct of an ho nourable man, _smarting under a sense of unmerited obloquy. On the other hand, Lieutenant-Colonel BRADLEY must consider himself deeply aggrieved by the course adopted by Ministers with respect to his petition. Had he been allowed to substantiate the charges which he preferred against Colonel ARTHUR, he would have acquired a right to demand being restored to his rank in the army, instead of continuing for life the victim of military tyranny. It is also of the utmost im portance that a charge of flogging soldiers by tap of drum —for the purpose of drowning their cries—preferred against any officer in the British army, should be fully investigated, in order that the system of military punishment practised in the British army should be' fully understood. But Lord Howicx, in a letter to Lord HILL, and in his speech in the House of Com mons, resisted inquiry, on the ground of establishing a dangerous precedent—as the alleged offence was committed in 1820. This is a mere evasion. The witnesses are all alive ; and no precedent of a dangerous nature could be established, as it can be proved by Mr. HurlE that the charge now brought against Colonel ARTHUR was preferred against him at the Horse Guards, only two years after the flogging of the man INGRAM, and that an in quiry into the truth of it was then refused, by the General Commanding-in-Chief. In fact, under any , eircumstances, there could be no danger whatever in Parliament investigating—at the earnest entreaty ,of all parties concerned—the truth of allegations seri ously affecting the well-being of the British army, by the implication of the moral character of the officers in the chief command of it in foreign stations. - But it is idle to go beating about the bush. The truth is that the Government resisted an inquiry into the alleged misconduct of Colonel ARTII [JR in Honduras, fear ing that it would only pave the way for similar de mands on the part of the oppressed colonists of New South Wales. Colonel ARTHUR is either the most calumniated gentleman in the British dominions, or his public . career for the last sixteen years has been such as to merit universal execration. In 1824 lie was appointed Governor of Van Dienien's Land, from winch he was removed in 1836. We have before Us a file of Hobart Town Journals, announcing his de parture on board the Elphinstone, on the 29th of Oc tober, amid the execrations of thousands of the colo nists. To mark the general joy for such a deliverance the town was partially. illuminated. This accounts for for the conduct of the Government, which, to say the least of it, reflects no credit on a Whia Ministry. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Thursday. The Moniteur contains the following of ficial despatch, preceded by two others, which ap peared in the The Sun of yesterday : " BAYONNE, May 31, 7in the evning. " ' Espartero left Hernani on the 29th, in the direcilon of Pampeluna, and leaving the Guipuscoans on the right The Carlists in vain attempted to stop him at Andoain. He had about 100 men disabled, but General Gurrea was killed. " ' In the morning of the 30th he continued his march with. put resiiitance. The departure of the Carlists from Huesca is certain. " The affair of the .24th was serious. General Irribarren is dead, and Colonel Conrad wounded. The foreign legion had the most G lorious share of the battle. The.death of IRRIBARREN, who was one of the bravest and ablest of the QUEEN'S Generals, will he severely felt. by the Christinos. Possibly, however, it may have the effect of rousing ESPARTERO, whose tardy movernenis fill the QUEEN'S friends' with the most serious apprehensions. According to the Journal des Debats, the Pretender has not only quitted Huesca, but he has crossed the river Cinca at Barbastro ; passed the Ribagazana, which divives the provinces of Aragon and Catalonia, at the Montagnana ; and thence marched to Taralu and Trenip. If thi s intel ligence be correct Don CARLos, instead of attempting the passage of the Ebro in the neighbourhood of Saragossa, has wheeled suddenly to the left, and is marching as fast as he can for the Eastern Py renees, in order to keep up a communication with his agents in France. lie will probably make a dash on Urgel, as Salsona, Manresa, and Vique are all too central—too remote from the French frontier. Flom Urgel the passage of the mountains to Figueras is in defensible ; and were the latter town to fall into the hands of the Carlists, the Pretender could then easily draw any quantity of supplies from France. Figueras is the San Sebastian of the southern frontier. Thux the theatre of the war is as distant from Madrid now as it svaz at the comtnencemeut hf the compaign, and it is very likely that the struggle will terminate in Catalonia. The political opintott a four-fifths of the Catalans are ultra-republiean, SO that 1,011 CAR -3r,0 will find few firm supporters among them, except such as may b e influenced by a love of pl un d er . All that is wanted to put an e€}4 tO this . fratricidal war is a little more energy and expedition oq tlet; part of the Q,UggN/4 Generals. Don CARLOS cannot approach THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDA V, JUNE 3 5 1837. the coast of the Mediterranean without encountering the British fleet ; a strong Christino force is moving in his rear ; and before him is the French frontier, which he cannot cross except as a fugitive or a prisoner. The Commerce, however, discredits the report pub lished in the Debats, of the entrance of Don CARLOS into Catalonia. It calls the reported entrance of the Pretender into Barbastro a Carlist gasconade, and adds that the two armies are near each other a few leagues from Huesca, and that a battle is inevitable. The Constitutionnel contains the following intelli gence from Barcelona : The just doubts which have arisen respecting several docu ments which some journals have published within these few days, as emanating from the authorities of Barcelona, have in duced us to publish the following:— " TO THE OOYERNOR OF THE PLACE (BRIGADIER-GEN. PENG.) " The Baron de Meer, Captain-General of the Ai-my and the principality of Catalonia, writes to me from Manresa, on the 9th, that he has thought fit to appoint for his second in command in this province the most excellent Senor De Maria Pastres, who will at the, same time take on himself the govern ment of the Citadel of this place. In consequence that Ge neral is from this moment charged with the Captain-General ship and the command of the Citadel. " Barcelona, May 13. " JOSE PARRENO." —Garde National, May 14. General Parreno resigned his office on the same day, and Pastres immediately assumed the government of Barcelona. It is he who published on the 15th the proclamation, by which he announced the rigorous order of the Government at Ma drid against those who were implicated, at the same time promising pardon to all who should repent and make their submission. Therefore General Parreno's letter of the 14th and the proclamation of the 15th cannot have been written by him, and, in fact, we have looked for them in vain in all the journals of Barcelona up to the 19th. The'King of the FRENCH, by a Royal ordinance, has wanted an amnesty to all persons under sentence of fine and imprisonment for alleged offences against the Forest and Fishery Laws. The Minister of Fi nance, by the command of his MAJESTY, has set five hundred individuals at liberty confined for smuggling, and the commission of frauds on the revenue. On Wednesday Baron de WERTHER, the Prussian Minister, presented his letters of recal. No one has yet been named to succeed him at the Court of France. The following additional particulars of the mar riage of the Duke of ORLEANS is from the Paris Pa pers of Thursday : The gallery of Henry 11., in which the civil formalities of the royal marriage were performed, brilliantly lighted up as it was for the occasion, and filled with the splendid crowd invited to be present—the ladies resplendent with jewellery, and the .gentlemen in military or Court dresses, presented, at the moment of the ceremony, a scene of truly regal magni ficence. Those who recollect this noble apartment, dilapi dated, or rather destroyed, as it has been seen of late' years, by time and neglect, would scarcely credit their vision upon seeing it on Tuesday night. The restoration of the frescos of the celebrated Primatice, and his pupil Nicola, have been won derfully restored by M. Alaux. These, with the massive cha racter of the carved work in wood, and the superb ehimne3- piece, brought back at a glance the most splendid period of the ancient monarchy. A large table, covered with crimson velvet and richly bordered with gold fringe, was placed nearly at the bottom of the salle, opposite the chimney. His Majesty entered first, leading the Princess Helena ; they were followed by the King of the Belgians, with the Duchess Dowager of Mecklenburg. The Royal family formed themselves into a semi-circle at the bottom, the Duke of Orleans and the Princess being at the central point. The bride looked grave, but an expression of happiness sat upon every feature of her counte nance; she wore a magnificent coronet of diamonds given her by the King, and a long rich lace veil descending from her head added height to her graceful figure. The Princess alone of the Royal party was dressed in white, the rest wearing light blue. Baron Pasquier, the new Chan cellor of France, wore his official robe and train, with the grand cordon of the Legion of Honour. He was assisted in his functions by the Duke Decazes, Grand Refcrendary of the Chamber of Peers, and M. Cauchy, Secretary of the Archives. The following personages signed the act of mar riage, as witnesses:—The King and Queen, the King and Queen of the Belgians, the Duchess Dowager of Mecklen burg, and all the members of the Royal Family, whose sig natures were followed by those of M. Barthe, the Count Mole, Vice-Presidents of the Chamber of Peers, the Presi dent and Vice-Presidents of the Chamber of Deputies, Mar shals Soult, Lobau, and Gerard, the Prussian Ambassador, the Mecklenburg Minister, Prince Talleyrand, the Chancellor of France, the Grand Refe:endary, and the Secretary of the Archives. From the gallery of Henry the Second, the cortege moved in the order they entered, to the Chapel of the Holy Trinity, where the ceremony of benediction ac cording to the rites of the Roman Caeiolic Chu .ch was per formed, and the register signed as before, the Secretary of the Archives having previously deposited a certificate of the civil marriage in the vestry. This imposing office was performed by the Bishop of Meaux. From the chapel the august party with their guests proceeded to the saloon of Louis-Philip, which was arranged for the performance of the Protestant ceremony according to the Lutheran rites. The pastor, M. Cuvier, who had followed the bride and bridegroom into the Catholic chapel, now preceded them. He delivered a Icing and eloquent exhortation, in which he alluded to the various ditties imposed upon them by their new state in terms r markable for their simp'e dignity and truth. Having then read the prayers for the occasion in French, he pronounced the nuptial benediction. The in rform:tnce of the triple cere monies occupied three hours. All the Princes were designated in the act of marriage as moat h'gh and most powerful. The tw3 Kings were called most high, most powerful, and most ex cellent, &c. We have said that all those present appeared in State costume; but theee was one exception. M. Laffitte, who, in the midst of brilliant uniforms and embroidered coats, was dressed in a frock ! M. Laflitte excused this costume to the King by pleading the unexpected honour of his Majesty's invitation, and the dilatoriness of his tailor. The King good humouredly replied, " It was the pleasure of seeing you, not your coat, that I expected, and I thank you for your company.' I must not conclude, says our correspondent, without a com pliment to the Duke of Orleans, whose fine tall figure and good face, well set off by his uniform, never - looked so well ; his manners were marked by that appearance of frank kind ness and affability which is a distinguishing feature of his character, and which has left this young Prince amid the wildest bitterness and distractions of party strife without a per sonal enemy in the world." There is no other news of any interest in the French Journals. The marriage of the Prince Royal has terminated happily—may it prove a source of foreign and domestic tranquillity to France ......

His Lordship reversed the order of the Court below. His Lordship then_ proceeded to hear lunatic petitions. VICE-CIIANCERY-(THIS DAY.) His Honour the Vwg-CHANCtst.Loit was occupied the whole morning with the Further arguments In " Chapman U. Severn." KING'S BENCH-(THIS DAY). TAT. KING V. THE DIRECT OF THE POOR OF ST. ANDREW noLlso 11 N. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had a motion of very great im portance to make to the Court, and it was founded upon the well res..)g,nised principle that " th e poor may not starve. " lie heen instructed by the Guardians of the Poor of the Holborn Union to apply for a mandamus against the Direc tors of the Poor of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, and commanding them to pay a sum of 1,9401. to the Guardians of the Holborn Union. In March, 1836, the Poor Law Commis sioners had issued an order uniting the parishes of St. Andrew liolborn Above Bal-, St. George the Martyr, and other districts under the name of the Holborn Union. No difficulty arose with respect to the conducting of the affairs of the Union un til the month of April in the present year. Their Lordships were aware that the Union Guardians made an order upon each parish within the Union to contribute its quota to the expences of the Union, and the quota of the parish of St. Andrew, Holborn, was 3501 per week, and a sum of 1601. had been paid on account. The weekly orders had since then been regularly made, but they had been disobeyed by the di rectors of the parish. It appeared that the parish of St. An dress's, Holborn, had a local Act, and that under it directors were appointed to manage the affairs of the poor. By these directors the rates were made and collected, and the entire business of the parish conducted, and the orders of the Poor Law Commissioners had even been called in question. Lord DENstaN—l believe under the provisions of the Act they must stand good until they are set aside. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Yes, my Lord, and even after the certiorari has been obtained. Now, I have the affidavits of the Guardians of the Union, that they have not one shilling to pay the necessary expenses for maintaining the poor. Un der these circumstances, I hope your Lordship will grant the mandamus absolute in the first instance, to which the directors of the parish can make a return--they stand in the position of overseers of the poor, and in their case your Lordships are aware, the established practice is that " the poor may not starve." A mandamus to the overseers to make a rate is al ways absolute in the first instance, upon that principle. On the 29th May, the directors of the parish came to the reso lution that they would not pay their weekly quota, and if we now only take a rule to chew cause, I know not what may happen before the long vacation has expired, the necessities of the poor being urgent, and the guardians not having one shil ling to defray their expenses. If any sufficient cause can be shown, it may be shewn in the return to the mandamus. The COURT—You may take your mandamus absolute. BAIL. COURT.-(THIS DAY.) HAYWARD V. PHILLIPS. Mr. JARVIS said in this case a rule had been obtained to show cause why the damages obtained by the plaintiff of 250/. should not be reduced to 200/. It was an action on a covenant, and a sum of 2501. was recovered, but the Jury was directed to separate the damages, and had given 50/. special damages. Sir William Follett had subsequently obtained a rule to show cause why the damages should not be reduced by the sum above stated, and he (Mr. J.) on behalf of the plaintiff now moved that the rule be made absolute. His client was above 80 years old, and he preferred giving up the 50/. to having the case remain in the new trial paper, and he apprehended there could be no objection to that arrangement. The COURT saw no objection, but as the rule was on the paper in the other Court, the Learned Counsel had better n.ake his application there. DEATH V. DIXON. Mr. CROMPTON, in this case, moved for leave to enter judg ment, as in case of a nonsuit." It was an action upon a bill of exchange, brought by the assignee in the case of the bank ruptcy of a Liverpool bank. When the case was ready for trial, the record had been withdrawn by the plaintiff, and the case again came on at the last Assizes ; and the plaintiff applied to have it postponed, in consequence of the absence of a mate rial witness, who was agent to a bank in Ireland. The case remained upon the list until the tenth day of the Assizes, and the record was again withdrawn. As the only witness the defendant had was a person far gone is a consumption, and not likely to live many weeks, and as the parties had not complied with the provisions of the Statute, he contended he was entitled to the rule prayed for.—Rule granted. NEE V. SIIEHIEED. Mr. DEASE was instructed, on behalf of the Sheriff of the county of Gloucester. to apply far a rule, calling upon the plaintiff and Joseph;Clapton to come in and prove their goods. It appeared that on the 26th May a writ of Teri facias had been directed to the Sheriff, who had seized on the 27th May ; and he had been subsequently served with a notice, that the goods had been distrained for rent on the Gth May, previous to the execution of the writ. 11C COURT could not ace the object of the motion, as the Sheriff must pay the landlord his rent. Mr., DEASE—The Sheriff had applied to the parti..s for an indemnity, but it had been refused him. The COURT—You make take a rule.--Rule granted. PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION. This day a meeting of the Protestant Association was adver tised to take place at the " Lower Room," Exeter Hall, for the purpose of devising the best means of excluding Roman Catholics from the Legislature. At twelve o'clock, the slum.. hers present were, on the platform, 23, in the'room, 81, includ ing the boys, of whom there was a very goodly show, and, we suppose, to compensate for the exclusion of the fair sex. When half an hour had elapsed, the auditory waxed impatient, and they might " call spirits from the vasty deep," but they would not come. A Gentleman here stepped forward, and said that it was scandalous that the friends of liberty and sound religion should be detained so long after the hour appointed for the commencement of the day's proceedings. it nether Gentleman said he had paid a sovereign for admission, and in aid of the good cause, and he did not see why he should not have the value of his money. Shortly after, Captain Gordon, accompa nied by the Rev. Dr. Holloway, and some other Gentlemen, made their appearance—a prayer was read by the Reverend Gentleman, in which he fervently prayed that the Protestants of England might be relieved from an unnatural union with Anti-Christ in the shape of the Catholic religion. Captain Gordon then addressed the meeting, and in a speech of great length contended, that as Catholics were idolators, they should not have any Legislative power in Christian and Protestant States.

It will be recollected that the whole' amount claimed by the Reverend plaintiff of Tyquin, amounted to no more than thirty-two shillings and eightpenee. His case was simply this—There were two bills filed by the Rev. William Browulow Savage, for tithes of the two separate parishes of Kilmurry and Kilcommon, in the King's County. Tyquin was made a defendant in the Kilmurry one, and having been duly served with process, au appearance was entered for him in the name of Mr. John Chadwick, nu attorney. Tyquin's name was afterwards struck out of the Kilmurry bill by the ll'inin!iff's own attorney, ,and inserted in the Kilaommen hill, and they actually proceeded to enter up process against h;:m in that suit, upon his appearance in the former one. 'the Dublin Evening Post, in some tsble and well-timed remarks on the circumstances of the case, says, " We have the fact of the irregularity admitted., and two conflicting affi davits, about the explanatory circumstances; and yet, in a custody case like this, with the 'man in gaol for contempt only, Barron Pennefather, sitting for himself, in open Court, re fused this man's applicatiee i to be discharged, with costs ! and the grounds on which *he founded his order were, that Mr. Talbot should have stated the facts contained in his last affi davit in the first tnstance, whereas it appears evident that they were called teeth in answer to the extraordinary statements of Mr. - • Smiti.-:" Look at the consequences of giving costs against a prisoner in custody, continues our Contemporary : " What are all the poor wretched paupers who crowd our gaols to do, if they can only apply to be discharged at the risk of such a penalty ? In many cases, an order, with costs, is a sentence of perpetual imprisonment, and, as in poor Tyquin's case, can only be rescinded by the death of the ictim. If ever there was a case that called for public investigation it is this : the facts in this case arc admitted by all, and we trust that many days will not elapse before the British public will be put in possession of them. As there is a tribunal to which ' even the highest are amenable, we trust, for the sake of justice to the dead, and of safety and protection to the living, that an inquiry will be instituted into the circumstances we have de tailed ; and that a decision it ill not go unquestioned, involving principles of such a perilous and astounding nature." GALWAY.—A most important requisition has emanated, for convening a meeting, with a view to express public opinion on. the present aspect of affairs, and confidence in the present Government of the Earl of Mulgrave. DR. WHALES'S RESOLUTION s.—ln reference to the tesrAtt tions recently agreed to by Dr. 111•11a1e. and the Crtholie clergy of his diocese, on the subject of Tithes, Corporation Reform, and other social amelioratio ns , the 13'efast News Letter admits that the language of these resolutions is not of the violent character ascribed to them ; 'out, says the News Letter, " their meaning is abundantly significant." " Open war," our Belfast contemporary coetieues, " is now declared against the Established Church as such, and an intimation is given to the landed proprietary, that, under the arrangements of the Ministerial Tithe Bill, the agitation which is at pre sent directed against tithes and parsons will be transferred to rents and landlords. The impolicy of these resolutions must be felt by every one who wishes to see the disteae lions of Ireland removed in an amicable manner, but which. removal can never be accomplished, if the extreme ground assumed in this ill-timed document is to be seriously main tained. We long feared that it would come to t hi s, and that the ominous delay which has occurred in regard to a final settlement of the tithe question would originate a still more dangerous agitation, and our worst fears are evidently on the eve of fulfilment. There is a deliberateness about the reso'u tions in question which precludes the idea of their having been hastily ad6pted, and if the sentiments which they express shall be generally responded to by a certain class of the population of this country, as there is too much reason to apprehend w',ll be the case, we can only state our conviction, that as a tration we have yet experienced but the beginning of troubles.' The events of each succeeding Session of Parliament, are ren dering everything like a fair compromise still were hopeless than before." NATIONAL PRESENT —A rumour has reached us which we hope will he confirmed in the result, Chet it is the intention to purchase the Thomastown est:tes, which are advertised to • be sold, and make them a present to the Lherator. Than those estates there are few in the world superior. Sit uate d i n the heart of the gr ea t coun ty ei Tipperary, they arc unrivalled for richness of soil, and mat;niiieence, and beauty of scenery.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—The performances last night were for the benefit of Mr. Rodvrell ; and it having been rumoured that Mr. Liston was to take his final farewell of the stage on this occasion, the house was filled in every part. It was barely possible to obtain standing room long before the half-price commenced. The performances began with Henry the Eighth, after which Madame Pasta sang, as she only can sing) " I tool frequenti palpiti," and very nar rowly escaped an encore. Mr. Planche's amusing burletta A Peculiar Position then introduced Mr. Liston in the charac ter of Monsieur Champignon, which he played with his accus tomed excellence. Ile was called for at the fall of the cur ta'n, and made the usual bow of acknowledgment for the com pliment. We do not know yet whether the public has lost him entirely as an actor, as the bills did not announce last night's as his final performance ; and it has been stated that he is to appear at least once more—probably for his own benefit. COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE AND HUMOURIST FOR JUNE, EDITED BY THEODORE HOOK, ESQ••-• This amusing miscellany continues its gay career with una bated spirit. The present number is embellished with a striking and characteristic likeness of James Smith, and one of the articles is a pleasant and pungent, memoir of his life. The Gurney Papers are continued in the true Gurney spirit. Captain Mal - ryat gives the continuation of his new tale of the sea, the Phantom Sint). Mrs. Norton contributes some har monious sentimentalities to Sappho: The Tiger Hunt on the Neilgherry Hills is as spirit-stirring as if the incidents were the offspring of an inventive imagination, instead of being matters of fact. Shakspeare in China, by Douglas Jerrold, is au inge nious satire. Buckstcne and Alfred Crowquill have enriched the number with two excellent papers, and Bibo Perplexed threw us into an agony of perspiration and distress. Whoever the author of this classical atrocity may be, he certainly de serves a patent as the most perdurable perpetrator of puns and plays upon words that have ever emulated the influence of Shakspeare's bagpipe.—Morning Post. THE PEERESS ; A BIOGRAPHICAL NOVEL.--. EDITED BY LADY CHARLOTTE BIMY.—TheFC volumes con tain the romantic experiences of a life of no every-day vicissi tude—the acute observations of a mind of uncommon strength —and they are written with a pen at once so playful and pow erful, so brilliant and so elastic, that ever had the subject for i.s exercise been wanting in the stimulant of interest, it would have invested it with attractions, and set forth a story full of point. But it happens that the subject is of an exactly oppo site order, and even in ungifted bands would have absorbed the attention of many circles of society, the more distinguished ones especially ; as it is, we know of no class that will not peruse these pages with mingled feelings—pleasure preponde rating ever all in the main, and admiration of the writer over mastering every prejudice which the reader's own prejudices may now and then provoke. —Court Journal CAPTAIN ALEXANDER'S VOYAGE AMONG THE COLONIES OF WESTF.RN AFRICA.—The public have reason to esteem very highly their present entertainer, both as an officer and as an author. Captain Alexander - by this new work will considerably advance his reputation. He sailed at the close of 1834, in the Thalia, which, on her way to the - Cape of S'orms, touched at Madeira, Tcneriffe, Sierra Leone, Cape Coast, and many other places. The whole of South Africa was found, on arriving at the Cape, to be in commotion. Cap tain Alexander followed Sir B. D'Urban to the scene of inva sion, and was placed on the personal staff of the Commander in-Chief. He had thus an opportunity' of giving a true ac count of the Kaffir war and' its causes.
