The Tories have been very active for the last fortnight can vassing the elee:ors, and ort S :turd ty they presNtted a requi sition to the Hon. William H. Ashe A'Courtlmes, re questing him to become a candidate for the representation of tnis island ; Mr. G. H. Ward having, given it up as hopeless, and being tired of ejecting his tenants, Lecause they did not thing proper to do as he commanded them, and indeed having become so unpopular in his own neighbourhood as to make his situation anything bt.t pleasant. As to gain a few names they had not scrupled to sts!.e that Sir R. bad resi‘ .. , oed, the worthy Baronet has found it necL•Fsary most distinctly to con tradict it ; at the same time stating that he regrets that his health is so bad, that in the event of a d;:solution he could not main coma forward, and strongly recommenjing the Hon. D. Pelham to the electors, who have drawn up the following re quisition to him, which has already received nunif.tatis signa tures, and will be sent off by to-morrow's post. As thra is a eerta!nty of his commanding a large majority, no one but half idiot wou'd thank of opposing him : " TO THE HON. CAPTAIN DUDLEY PELHAM, R.N. " SlR—Being well assured that our excellent representa tive, Sir Richard Simeon, Bart., will not on account of ill health again offer himself as a candidate in case of a dissolu tion of Parliament, we, the undersigned electors of the county of the Isle of Wight, having full confidence that we shall find in you a faithful and honest supporter of those great public principles, which we believe to be inseparably connected with the welfare of the country, earnestly request that you will come forward as a candidate for the representation of the Isle of Wight whenever a dissolution of the present Parliament shall take place." The loss of the Hunter pilot vessel of this port, with all her crew, appears now almost certain. She sailed on Easter Mon day, was spoken with on the Sunday following, and has not since been heard of. This is the second pilot vessel of this island with the whole crew which has been lost this winter. The following are the names of those lost in the Hunter, which was the property of Messrs. George Ratsey and Daniel Corke :—George Francis, George Luter, George Corke, William Davis, and James Denham. Sir R. Bulkeley has taken Sir J. Hippesley 's house for four months, and is expected here on Friday next. Sir B. Gra ham is expected to arrive at Earl De Grey's house, which he has taken for the same time ; also several other families of dis tinction are daily expected, giving every appearance of an early and very gay season.

It is stated that he had been introduced to the lady as the wife of his friend Mr. Dale, but soon discovering that there were peculiar circumstances in the marriage, he set his ing enuity to work to endeavour to get her to himself—whether for honourable purposes or the reverse re mains to be proved. Mr. Dale, on discovering how matters stood, demanded the satisfaction he had a right to claim, which was agreed to by his friend ; but the society of the female was more interesting and less dangerous than either the smell of powder or honourable explanation, and, therefere, long before the appointed hour, the pair were off to Derby. Previous to tripping it off, the happy pair partook of supper at one of the principal inns in this town, during which they were guarded for thirty minutes by one of the ought-to-be guardians of the night, who so far assisted in the elopement as to take Mr. Dale into custody.—Sheliield Iris. On Saturday the Leeds and Birmingham Telegraph coach, driven by the celebrated Aspinall, started from Leeds a few minutes before six o'clock, and arrived in Derby eight minutes before eleven, a distance of 72 miles. This exceeds in speed almost all in the annals of coach travelling.—Derby Reporter. CAPTAIN CHAMIER'S NEW NAVAL STORY. The Arethusa," so long announced, will be published by Mr. Bentley immediately. The exploits of the gallant crew of the Arethusa were the theme, it will be recollected, of one of those spirit-stirring ballads which delighted the seamen, and stimulated them to many a bold and desperate enterprise. When it is known that Captain Chamier served on board th;:t vessel, and that no living writer excels him in the graphic power of his naval sketches, we may expect a work abound ing in those various incidents and adventures which made hi, " Life of a Sailor," and " Ben Brace" the most popular naval stories ever written. NICK OF THE WOODS.—Among the singular ex hibitions of human character which owe their origin to the anomalous state of society in the United States of North America, particularly as evidenced by the backwoodsmen and trappers of the remote forests and prairies, none is so amusiw , and remarkable as the sketch of" Roaring Ralph Stockpole," the " Horse-thief" in the above novel. Captain Crockett himself must yield in extravagant drollery, both of deed and language. to Ralph. whose sayings and doings, like those of ancient Pistol and Captain Bobadil, are destined to take per manent rank in the classics of comedy. MR. COOPER, THE CELEBRATED NOVELIST.— The forthcoming new work. entitled " England, with Sketches of Society in the Metropolis." by this distinguished writer, is cal culated to excite !Treater interest than any recent work upon the same subject. Ina residence among us ss as long, and his inter conese with the best society extensive. No one who knows him wi doubt the honery of his opinions. although he may occasionall : - . in the spirit of independence which pervades all his writings, not always speak pleasanE things. His new volumes, we un derstand, describe the domestic manners of the English, and will form, therefore, a counterpart to Mrs. Trollope's stork on America. They include a great variety of subjects, from dinner parties at Rolland House, Lord Grey's, &c., and Mr. Rogers's breakfasts, to the subjects of fashionable weddings-- English beauties, the Queen's Drav,'ing-room, the Aristocr,ey, with anecdotes of all the most distinguished personages of tie present day. Mr. GLEIo ' S NEW WORK, 64 THE HUSSAR."— The partiality of " tarry-at-home" travellers for accounts of military or naval adventure, is proverbial. To such—and to the mere lovers of the excitement of novel readinc , too—Mr. Gleig's new work offers peculiar attractions. The r narratise introduces us to those stirring scenes of strife and bloodshed— yet new in the recollection of the world—when Napoleon and Wellington may be said to have ruled the destiais of nations, and gives us pictures of far-off countries and their customs, sketched with the rap:dity, yet truthfulness, of a soldier's pen. " The Hussar" will certaielv tlke rarik, in the estimation the public, with the most admired nroductions of the author of " The Subaltern." OPINIONS OF LORD BROUGHAM ON POLITIC.;, THEOLO;;Y, Law, SCIENCE, b.:DUCATIIN, LITERATURE, &C.-- That this book- will be popular there can 1),! little doubt. Wiwi; it is known that the volume Iccords no fewer than 637 of Lordship's views on various subjects, the usefulness of the pub lication must be obvious. Prefixed to the ‘• Opinions" is a Life of the Ex-Chancellor. In the compilation of die work much care has evidently been taken,and very extensive research been made. The vast variety of sources to which reference must have been bad, cannot fail to have imposed on the editor no common portion of labour. He has acquitted himself of Lis task in a manner the most creditable.—M;rninq Post. VENETIA.—The subject of this new work, by the author of " Vivian Gi•ey," and " Henrietta Temple," is one which will be instantly recorznised as admirably ad lined to al,' peculiar talents of that writer, whoxe forte certainly lies in th delineation of feeling and the female character. The story is one which, from its mystery alone, and the meaner ale charae. te-s• Ponr—etecl wit' it. tnost iininAiat , dy arrest public a•teriti.m. AN OWLD IRISH JOKE.—There's an owld joke against the Westmeath women (who are proverbial fo having thiA legs), which you may take a turn out of, if you like, said Rory O'More. When you see a girl that's thick in the fetlock, you call afther her and say, " Young Woman, !" she turns round, and thin says you, " I beg your pardon, ma'am, but I think you're used to wear hay in your shoes'—(a plan prevalent in Ireland to make shoes fit.) Then, if she's inno cent she'll ask, " Why ?"—and thin you'll say, " Bekase the calves has run down your legs to get at it !" " I see," said the stranger ; " that is, if she's innocent." " Yes, Sir, sim ple, I mane ; but that seldom happens, for they're commonly up to you, and 'cute enough." " Now, in the case she's not innocent, as you say ?" said the traveller. " Faith, maybe its a sharp answer you'll get thin, or none. Its as like as not she may say,'TAank'ee, young man, my cay'doesn't like bar, Ilifhi'vrsffiim to it yourself.—Front Mr. Lover's New prv. -- _Ltv, , P . ,; ,, - - r t ) ~.i., . . )4 gittn‘.1),64,.... ~,.,c o, = ~ AT a MEETING of the GENERAL COM MITTEE of the CITY of LONDON REFORM CLUB, held at their Committee-room, this Bth day of May, 1837, JOHN TRAVERS, Esq., in the Chair, It was moved by.BENsAmtw Woon, Esq., seconded by Atsx- ANDER GALLOWAY, Esq., and unanimously agreed to, That this Meeting views with intense anxiety the approaching contest for the representation of Westminster, as involving many of the great principles of Reform, and a' likely to mark by its issue the sense entertained by the Westminster electors of that public apostacy which is so notorious in one of its candidates. It was moved by DAVID COLVIN, Esq., seconded by T. HORNET', Esq., and unanimously agreed to, That this Meeting, deeply deploring the desertion by Sir Fran cis Burdett of all those principles which were advocated by him with so much courage and ability at the earlier and more mature period of his life, recommend to Reformers of every distinction to forget upon this occasion all minor differences amongst themselves, and to unite by one grand movement in the election of Mr. Leader, a gentleman pre-eminently fitted to sustain the Reform spirit in Westminster, and to carry out its principles elsewhere with honour to his constituents, and with safety and advantage to the whole community. It was moved by WILLIAM WARREY, Esq.,seconded by WILLIAM HENRY ASIIURST, Esq., and unanimously agreed to, That this Meeting pledges itself, collectively and individually, to make every exertion in order to secure the election of Mr. Leader, trusting that the men of Westminster are, as they were, amongst the foremost of Reformers in eradicating every abuse from Church and State, and in preserving unharmed all the free institutions of their country. It was moved by Mr. Under-Sheriff WIRE, seconded by JAMES • MOORE TRENCH, Esq., and unanimously agreed to, That the cordial thanks of this Meeting be given to our Repre sentatives, Matthew Wood. Esq., George Grote, Esq., William Crawford, Esq., and James Pattison, Esq., for their general atteio tion the interests of their constituents, and to the two latter Gen tlemen for their attendance at this Meeting. It was moved by WILLIAM TROTT, Esq., seconded by T. H. HALL, Esq., and unanimously agreed to, That the above Resolutions, signed by the Cha:rman and Secre tary be communicated to the Committee for conducting the Elec tion of Mr. Leader, and advertised in the usual pal e: s. (Signed) JOHN TRAVERS, Chairman. G. H. HEPPEL, Hon. Secretary. Thanks were unanimously voted to the Chairman for his general attention to the interest of the club, and his judicious conduct in the chair this day. G. H. HEPPEL. TO THE ELECTORS OF WESTMINSTER. THE enthusiasm and activity manifested by the friends of Sir FRANCIS BURDtTT in every district have been this (lay crowned with most encouraging success, and afford the cheering prospect of a signal and decisive victory. Nor is it less gratifying to the feelings of Sir Francis that many of his old and staunch friends have volunteered their support to the man of their choice, unawed by menaces, and uninfluenced by misrepresentation. Electors, let your efforts be unremitting and unwearied— let each act with as much energy as if the result de pended upon himself. The remembrance of having contri buted to the triumph of constitutional principles will hereafter cheer the heart of every genuine friend of his country, who has either registered his vote in favour of Sir Francis Burdett, or dis pelled from the mind of any elector the doubts or suspicions in fused by factious and artful malevolence. Our 'opponents, in the fullness of their liberality, upbraid Sir Francis Burdett for receiving; support from the Tories, but we ask whether these champions of extended suffrage would wish to rob the Conservative electors of their right to vote, or could expect them to co-operate with the Destructives in subverting our na- Urinal institutions. Sir Francis Burdett does not ground his claims to your support upon any selfish or party views. As far as his personal interest is concerned he can gain nothing by success, and lose nothing by de teat ; he appeals with confidence to every Englishman of sound and sober judgment, whether Whig or Tory, who wishes to hand dos,n in undiminished efleiency the bulwarks and the blessings of the British Constitution.

By Order of the Committee, W. WEST, Honorary Secretary. British Coffee-house, Tuesday, May 9, 1837. inn+ LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 9,1837. In the House of Lords, yesterday, the principal debate arose out of Lord RauNotes motion for a Select Committee relative to the Statutes of the several Colleges and Halls of the Uni versities of Cambridge and Oxford. In the arguments o►► either side there was necessarily no novelty. Eventually Lord Radnor consented to withdraw his motion on the assur ance that the Universities themselves were now instituting an inquiry with a view to the introduction of the amendments con templated by the Noble Lord's motion. • Lord BROUGIIAM trusted that if there should be any laxity in applying an effectual remedy that his Noble Friend would revive the subject. In the House of Commons, after the presentation of peti tions and the transaction of some private business, the Report of the Carlow Election Committee, confirming Mr. VIGORS'S return for the county of Carlow, was brought up by Mr. BARING. A short conversation then ensued between Mr. RO BINSON, Lord PALMERSTON, and Mr. YOUNG, on the subject of our commercial relations with Portugal and Spain. Lord PALNIF.RSTON expressed his belief that the Portuguese would find their new tar►tf as prejudicial to their own interests as it was to those of other countries, and that they would soon re peal it. With respect to the discriminatory duties established by Portugal, an order in Council was now actually in pre paration, by which we should establish similar duties against the vessels of such countries as adopted disCrimivatory duties against us. Lord PALMERSTON in reply to Captain PaCHELL and Sir R. PEEL, stated that no arrangement had yet been concluded between England and France, to prevent the collision which was frequently taking place between the fishing vessels of the two countries. The Admiralty had not an armed sloop to protect our fishermen. Mr. T. D'EYSCOURT then brought foryta , d his motion for le%ve to introduce a Bill for making Parliaments Triennial. The Triennial Act was inculcated in the preamble of the Bill of Rights. Triennial Parliaments would promote the public liberty. Short Parliaments were a contract to England like the trial by jury, and the people would never be satisfied until their rights were restored to them. Lord Jong Russrt.t. was not prepared to adopt the pro position. Mr. WILLIAMS, S:r S. WHALLEY. Mr. Hums, and Mr. WAKLEY spoke strongly in favour of the motion, as did also Mr. ROEBUCK, who declared amidst loud cheers that " he should propose that Parliament should exist for three years— no more, and no less—and that it should nut be dissolvable by the KING or by anybody else." On a division the numbers were-- for OK.. motion, 86 ; against it, 97 ; lost by a majority of nine only. The !louse then went into * Committee on the Poor-laws ( Ireland) Bill, when several of the clauses were agreed to. During the debate, which derived additional interest from the procedure of the ether House on Friday night, in postponing the consideration of the Irish Municipal Corporations Bill sent up to them by the Commons, Mr. HUME said that he had no doubt the House would stand by the Ministers, if the Minis ters would do their duty. But tha Session was far advanced, and the very first Bill passed had been laid aside. Lord Joio; RUSSELL replied that the Government did not intend to post pone the consideration of the Church-rate Bill, or of any of the other ineasurts then before the I-I ;use. Lord R ADNOR again brought forward a motion last night, for inquiry into the state of things at the Uni versities. The public is much indebted to the Noble Lord for his persevering exertions to place these insti tutions on that footing on which it is fit that educa tional establishments of such capacity for good or for evil, according as they are well or ill managed, should stand. That neither he nor any of his predecessors in the same path has been hitherto successful is not to be wondered at, when it is considered that they have had the whole power of the Tory aristocracy and of the clergy arrayed against them. All the advocates of abuse have rallied round the master-abuse-- Reform may touch the House of Commons—may even lay her unhallowed hand upon the Church—but within the sanctuary of the Universities she must not presume to enter, There the teacher and the pupil may take oaths without number, and break them without a scruple of conscience i no (Mg shall PAU them in question, as long as Bishops and Peers can be found to declare that to take oaths which are not meant to be kept is not blameable. 140fli RAP*OII, it will be seen, withdrew his mg , tion. Wa need not say tlott little or nothing is to be expected from the ire/trefoil') said to be about t o b e administered to the Universities. A. very interesting interiode took place in the pro ceedings of the House of Commons last night. When Lord JOHN RUSMiIi moved the Order of the Day for going into Committee on the Irish Poor Law Bill, Mr. SHIEL asked the Noble Lord what the Government meant to do in thi s crisis, alluding to the most unprecedented and unpaE, liamentary step which the Lords have just taken in postponing for six weeks the further consideration of the Irish Corporation Bill, after they had acknowledged the principle of that measure by a second reading. Th e answer of Lord J. RUSSELL will, we are quite sure, give the utmost satisfaction to the country. He gated his sur prise at the eond oat of the Peers, but intimated in unequi vocal language that he was becoming a convert to the great doctrine of Peerage Reform. The Noble Lord said that it was the intention of Government to proceed in the course they had laid down u w n it u l , i flu re e s n p e e e c d t by to the other Bills relating to Ithe intemperate and unexampled proceedings of the Lords. But that which the country will hail with peculiar pleasure, was the declaration that, as long as the supporters of Ministers in the House of Com mons continued to them the . confidence which they had hitherto given them, Min i sters would never desert them. This is the true language for an English Mi nister to hold. This is taking the bull by the horns in earnest. Now we have some chance of seeing which of the two Houses has the most pluck. The supporters of Mr. LEADER held a public meeting last night at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, which wassrowded to suffocation. About the same hour the Tory patrons of Sir FRANCIS - BURDETT met in conclave at Evans's Hotel ; but it havingpre viously been reported that Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR was about to make a long speech, the alarm spread, and scarcely more than thirty Burdettites were found courageous enough to brave the infliction. Commend us to Sir GEORGE for the capacity to clear a room I He is paying admirably into the hands of the opposite party by his prolixity ; and if he will but be patriotic enough to persevere in it, we have little doubt that he will be the means of driving many a wearied Tory for relief to the Crown and Anchor. It is not in human nature to brave an hour of Sir GEORGE'S verbiage, especially when it is of so tame and monotonous a character as it was last night. All that the Honourable Baronet had to urge in justifi cation of Sir FRANCIS'S apostacy was, that he could not now be fairly made responsible for sentiments uttered in the warmth of the moment, thirty years ago. Indeed I So " Westminster's pride" never en tertained principles from conviction ; was never a Ra dical Reformer, from the dictates of a sound judgment ; hs opinions on this subject were the mere hasty ebul litLns of the moment, to be repudiated at the first suitable opportunity. He was never sincere' as a Ra dical. He is sincere only now, that he has become a Tory. Well might Mr. WA RD repudiate alike such conduct, and such a justification It gives the last stunning blow to Sir FRANCIS'S political character; and sinks him deeper in public estimation " than ever plummet sounded." As if this were not enough, Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR read a letter from his pet candi date, in which the latter observed, " I wish I could attend the meeting at Evans's, but I cannot even move from my own sofa without a pair of crutches. I am in hopes that if I don't get well through the business on Wednesday, I shall at least get through it alive." The motive that urged this unique confession is evi dent. It is an attempt on the part of the writer to enlist the sympathies of all his old supporters in his behalf. Now though we regret as deeply as his best friend can do, the infirm state of the Hon. Bart.'s health—though none would more sincerely rejoice to see him restored to perfect convalescence—for our quarrel is with the politician, not the man—yet we cannot for an instant admit the propriety of his presuming to stand for a city like Westminster, when lie is in doubt, on his own showing, whether he shall get through the business of nomination " alive." Never was a stir ring, active Representative more required than at the present moment ; yet here comes a candidate, whose chief claims on the confidence of the Westminster ctors are—first, that he is an apostate ; and, secondly, that he is in the most infirm state of health We allude with the less ceremony to this tinqracioul theme, because we find that Sir FRANCIS'S supporters are by no means qualified or courteous in their re marks on Mr. LEADER. Among other charges they have thought fit to insinuate against him, one is, that he is an Atheist ! Now if there be one man more exemplar) , than another in the discharge of his religious duties, Mr. LEADER is that man. But he is a Re former ; therefore he must be an Atheist I He is anxious to remove all Church abuses; therefore he must be an Atheist ! Shame on the men who hold such doctrine, and yet presume to call themselves Christians I But Mr. LEADER will triumph i n spite of all their slanders. He is not to be sneered down by a knot of intolerant Tories. Hi s success is already placed beyond a doubt—Athiest he is, and saints as are all his opponents ! Never theless, the electors must not relax in their exertions, nor deem aught gained till all is gained. They must make " assurance" not only " sure, but " doubly sure." In a word, they must so act as if the result of the contest depended on the exertions of each indi vidual member of the constituency. Mr. O'CONNELL, in an energetic appeal (which we publish this day) to the Westminster electors, tells them broadly that the fate of Ireland is in their hand, " Both partie,," says he, " appeal to you. Men of Westminster, what is your determination ? The choice is before you. The people of Ireland await without trepidation, but with deep interest, your decision ; whatever it may be, they know that decision will be evidence of the judgment of a large and enlightened body of Englishmen. You may, if you please, reject our claims ; you may neglect or spurn our demands, but you cannot conceal from us the fact that our fate, so far as it can depend on other than ourselves, is in your hands.' This is troe to the letter, and affords another argument, for `Westminster bestirring herself in right earnest. The important question of Triennial Parliaments was last night brought before the House of Commons by Mr. TENNYSON D'EYNCOURT, in the shape of an amendment upon the Order of the Day for going into a Committee of Supply. After an animated de bate, in the course of which Lord JOHN RUSSELL made a long but very inconclusive speech against the measure, the Right lion. Gentleman's amendment was negatived by a majority of nine--a majority so small, that the Radical Reformers have only to bestir them selves to secure the possession of this great bulwark of popular liberty. We shall not to-day discuss the merits of the arguments advanced on either side of the question, as we are well aware that a more fitting op portunity will soon present itself. A Bill for shorten ing the duration of Parliaments is a natural and neces sary sequence of the Reform Bill ; and we have no more doubt that it will soon be carried in spite of Whigs and Tories combined, than we have that the Reform Bill cannot be repealed. In .opposing such a measure, after appearing as the champion of Parliamentary Re form, Lord JOHN RUSSELL betrays an absence of the highest qualities of a Statesman—an anticipated ac quaintance TvithTheconsequences of his own acts, and the necessary preparation for their adoption in the way most rohdueive to the general welfare. The revolutions of the wheel ought not to astonish those by whom it has ben] put in motion. Lord J. RUSSELL and his colleagues, In passing the Reform and Muni c ip a l C or p orat i ons Bills, and in providing by numerous Acts for shortening the time, and diminishing the expenses of general tions, have effectually paved the way for a return to the good old constitutional practice of short Parliaments. In the Committee upon the Poor-41w for Irel an d Bill last night Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that he would move the introduction of A clause for granting out-door relief, Chit iolgwleage of the present state of Ireland would incline us to support such a proposi tion, were we not &totted by the experience of its baneful operation upon the moral habits of the work ing classes in this country. Wherever employment is to be found, out-door relief —save to indigent indivi duals illPap4lllo Of labour, and to small families in sea sons of great seareitylias a direct tendency to lower wages, and to destroy the independent spirit of the peasantry, by turning the hard-working, high-minded labourer, whose morsel is sweetened by the conscious ness that he has purchased it with the sweat of his brow, into a lazy, reckless, mean-spirited, parish pauper. While the object of the Poor Law Bill is to prevent the indigent Irish from perishing through ab solute destitution, oare must likewise be taken so to frame it, that in its operation, it will rather provide oulloiloyment for the able-bodied, than offer re lief I n an y other form. Besides it would be almost impossible to frame a system of out door relief applicable to Ireland, without the total absorption of the rent, tithes, and taxes of that country, Indeed, we question if the whole would suffice for such a purpose. The principle of out door relief, therefore, ought not to be recognised in the Irish Bill, except so far as regards decayed old persons, or individuals afflicted with incurable distempers, whom it might be cruel to reduce to the alternative of starvation, or the workhouse. Mr. O'CONNELL is of opinion that the poor of Ireland will not submit to the confinement of a workhouse. Generally speaking, this is true. The migratory and restless habits of the Irish are opposed to confinement or restraint of any kind ; but enough will seek shelter in workhouses to give the landlords an interest in providing profitable employment for them elsewhere. This is %shat we have principally in view. The Bill must work well if it compel the aris tocracy to seek protection for themselves by providing labour for the industrious peasantry of Ireland. The Paris papers of Sunday have been received, with letters from Bayonne and San Sebastian of the 3d inst. At the d►►parture_ of these letters there were 22,000 troops at San Sebastian and Passages ; and the arrival of ESPA RTERO with the Royal Guards was momentarily expected, as the signal for another grand attack on Hernani, and the adjoining Carlist fortifications. A courier from Madrid had confirmed the account of the cowardly and trea cherous surrender of the garrison of Cantavieja to the rebels. The men-250 in number—first basely murdered the Governor, who resented their treason, and then throwing open the gates, delivered the town to the insurgents, who immediately made themselves masters of it by the slaughter of such of the inhabitants as offered the least resistance. The same courier brought word that General NOGUERAS had, on the 27th ult., engaged and routed the Carlists, under the command of the chieftain FORCADEL. The review held on Sunday, in celebration of the KING'S birth-day, had not concluded up to post hour. We shall receive an account of it with Monday's journals. The following are extracts from Sunday's papers : " A striking symptom of public dis ress, and which cannot be mistaken, has pressed severely upon the working classes for the last six months. The plAges at the Moat de Piet6 (pawnbrokers) have been, for the above period, from 12,000 r. to 20,000 r. a day more than they had amounted to for fifteen years previously ; and the pledges deposited, which formerly represented an advance of 12,000,000 f., amount now to the sum of 14,000,000 f. Considering this fact in conjunction Kith that of the immense sums lately withdrawn from the saving banks, a tolerable idea may be formed of the state of suffering into which the working classes of the capital have fallen."__ Nouvelle Minerve. The letters from Bayonne add nothing respecting the can nonade which had been heard in the direction of St. Sebas tian. The Sentinelle publishes the following in aP. S.:— " Si'._ SEBASTIAN, APRIL 30.—Three steam-boats, with troops on board, are this moment entering the port. The 7th battalion of the 21 division of the corps of the army of Bilboa will doubtle.‘s land to-night. A movement is expected. It is not likely, however, that there will be anything more than a skirmishing at the outposts till the return of Gen. Seoane, who is the life and soul of the army." On the other hand, a letter from St. Jean dc Luz, of May 2, is as follows : We learn front a cow ler who has arrived at Vera, that a brisk firing of musquetry awl cannonade were heard in the direction of Pampeluna. There is every reason to believe that the Carlists engage the attention of Irribarren with some battalions left for that purpose in Navarre. Yesterday seven Carlist horsemen, pursued by the Christinos, entered the French territories, being immediately summoned by the Cus tom-house (Accra to deliver up their arms and horses. Four or them immediately escaped, the three others were taken and brought to Bayonne.--Journal du Commerce. Our corre,,pondent at Toulon writes to us under the date cf 2d We have received to-day important news from the north of Africa ; Kader, who seemed inclined to p e a c e with us, has reached the province of Titeri, where he is intriguing to persuade the people in that part of the Re g ency to rise, He has come to concert measures with the Bey ofikledeali and it seems certain that his endeavours to excite the Arabs to rise have not been fruitless. Having learned that the Hadjonites were already in motion, and that other tribes were preparing to follow their example, Lieutenant-General Damremont left Algiers on the 27th, to place himself at the head of the troops that could be spared. A quantity of artillery had already been sent off. This news was brought by the Fulton steam-boat, which left Algiers on the 2Sth April. The courier from 'Bona had just brought word that the KThyles in the environs of Bougia were in motion, which would indicate that Abd-el- Kader is acting in concert with the Bey of Modeah, and with Achmet, Bey of Constantine. We wait with impatience the arrival of the next courier.— Cohstitationnel. ACCELERATION OF THE NORTHERN MAILS.— On the ISth of June next part of the Birmingham R a il wa y will be sufficiently completed, so as to acce lerate the Northern mails. The Edinburgh mail, from L on d on , will arrive at ten o'clock - in the forenoon, in stead of half past one in the afternoon, as heretofore. The London mail will leave Edinburgh at four in the afternoon, instead of nine in the morning-, thereby enabling correspondents to answer their letters the same day. Dublin correspondents will gain nothing if the London mail is sent via Liverpool, at which place it will arrive at half -past eleven, A.M., the average passage being eighteen hours. The Post office authorities will find it will be to the interest of the public to send the Dublin mail by way of Holy head and Howth, as the time the mail should arrive at Wolverhampton will be thirty-seven minutes past seven, A.M., and at Holyhead at eight o'clock in the evening. We understand that Major-General Sir Hugh Gough, K. C. 8., has been placed upon the Staff of the army serving in the East Indies, with a view of succeeding the late Major-General Sir George Elder, K.

(Sittings at Nisi Fritts, before Mr. Justice VArottAN and Common Jury.) OKANT V. LAINSON AND OTIIERS. Mr. Sergeant BCaIPAS, with whom was.Vl7. WORDMORTII and Mr. Fky, appeared for the plaintiff. For the defendant Mr. Sergeant Tat.rourto, Messrs. HILL, Ent.c. and SwAN. This action was brought against the Sheriffs of Middlesex and their officers for false arrest, the plaintiff not being the identi;al person against whom the execution had been issued. ft appeared that the plaintiff bore the same Christian and sur name as the person for whom the officers were in search, and who, since the arrest took place, has come forward and declared himself to be the debtor, and has offered to discharge the debt. The cae had been tried in London about three years back, when a verdict was given for the defendants, and a new trial was granted. The present case presented nothing diff.2rent from what occurred on the former trial, and the defence bud only commenced when our reporter left. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT.

In answer to q uesti '. - iis from the Court, the prosecutor said that he w as 7. ironmonger and machinist. The prisoner had -.en employed by him confidentially in his factory, and he also was in the habit of collecting money. He bad lost, from time to time, about 40/., and, on entering his service, he was strongly recommended by respectable relations. The RECOkDER said it was imperative on him to pasi sen tence of transportation upon the prisoner, as there could be no extenuation, his crime not being the cause of poverty. The prisoner was then put forward, and sentenced to seven years' transportation. William Johnson, 17, a member of a well-known gang of thieves, was indicted for stealing a handkerchief, the property of Charles Robert, from his person. The prisoner pleaded Guilty to three indictments, which charged him with picking pockets in the city of London. The RECORDER—Prisoner at the bar, when you were appre hended there were found upon your person three silk handker chiefs. You arc likewise well-known to have been convicted on a former occasion, and when sent to the convict-ship for your reformation, you contrived to effect your escape, The sentence of the Court, therefore is, that you be transported for seven years beyond the seas. Henry Sumner, twenty-four, stood indicted for felony, after a previous conviction, and being found guilty was sentenced to be transported for seven years beyond the seas. George Mills, nireteen, was indicted for stealing a handker chief from Edward Parker, from his person. The facts of the case were fully proved—Guilty. The prisoner was known by the police to have been guilty of a similar offence on a former occasion, and the Court sentenced him to transportation for seven years. John Williams, 16, another pickpocket, was indicted for stealing in Little East Cheap a silk handkerchief, the pro- perty of Hillary John Bauerman, from his person.—Guilt). The prisoner was convicted on a former occasion, and the Court sentenced him to transportation for seven years. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant ARABIN.) Mary Anne Clarke, 21, was indicted for stealing two Fair of spectacles, value 145., the property of William Lumpl - on Hayes ; and on a socond indictment for stealing a pair of ear-rings, value 145., the property of William Usherwm.d. The prisoner pleaded Guilty. Samuel King also pleaded Guilty to an indictment, which charged him with stealing money, value fifteen pounds, the property of Thomas Homewood, his master.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, MAY s. Before the Barons of the Exchequer. MORGAN V. SEAWARD. Mr. Baron PARKE read the judgment of the Court in this case, which was an action for the infringement of the plaintiff's patent for improvements in paddle wheels, known as " Morgan's wheels." The same patent embraced an improvement in steam engines, but no infringement of that was complained of. The Court decided for the plaintiff on all the pleas which related to the paddle-wheels, and for the defendant on those which related to the steam-engine. The Court, however, intimated, that under the late Act the patent might be amended, by disclaiming before the Attorney-General so much of it as regarded tkie steam engine. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

The splendid show of Inlaid and Mosaic Wood Fancy Furniture, manufactured at Tunbridge Wells, for sale by auction on Thursday at the Egyptian Hall, is worthy at• tentio a. DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Taglioni appeared last n'ght in La Sylpliqe, a ballet made for her, and made by her, for it scarcely seems the same piece when the part of the be-. mine is sustained by any other dancer. As an artiste Tag lioni is all that she used to be, but she has somewhat declined in personal beauty ; her face has all its former innocence a nd simplicity of expression, but she is evidently thinner, and al though it does not detract from her gracefulness, it somewhat lessens the charm of her general appearance. She was at n° time a luxurious dancer, and now, perhaps, she is less so than ever; in this respect giving an advantage to Duvernay, who, in every other, excepting lady-like deportment, is inferior to Taglioni. She was received with great applause, went through her task to the frequently expressed delight of the whole house (which, however, was not filled until half-price), was encored in her pas de deux with her brother ; and, finally, was vehe• mently called for at the end of the performance. She seemed fatigt el towa:•c's the close, and probably has not yt t quite re covered her late indisposition and confinement. Paul Tag lioai, her brcCler, and his wife, are good dance! s, partica• larly the former, who is both graceful and vigorous, and in troduced several new steps, which the audience appreciated and rewarded. They executed a pas de deux together, and we are certain that the lady would have been sena to more advantage, and have been more applauded, had she been becomingly dressed. She contrived very effectually to hid• the proportions of her figure. This, in a Frenchwoman, is at least unusual. ANOTHER HORRID MURDER OF A F E MALE• —This morning, about the hour of six o'clock, the neigh bourhood of York-square, Regent's-park, was thrown iuto state of the greatest consternation and alarm by the discovery being made that a most atrocious and cold-blooded murder had been perpetrated in the house of Mr. Thomas Wadley, of the King's Arms public-house, at the corner of Laston.place , York-square, on the body of a female named Eliza Davis, who, for many years past, was bar-maid in Mr. Wadley's ser vice. The discovery of this horrid event took place under the following circumstances ;—Matthew Hitchcock, the pot -boy , was coming down stairs ; as usual, a few minutes after sis o'clock, when, on reaching the landing-place, be was horror struck at discovering the deceased lying on her face on the stairs, with her feet uppermost, and surrounded by a pool of blood. He instantly rushed up stairs and "alarmed hie master, who, hastening down, found that the unfortunitte young woman had received a cut across the front part of the throat, which had been inflicted with such dreadful and deter mined violence, that the head was nearly severed from the body. She was lying on her face, with her hands bent under her, and had evidently fallen backwards in attempting t° ascend the nest flight of stairs to the landing. The body was quite warm and the blood around it, and the wound itself bval, still smoking. A surge on was i mme di ate l y sent f or , l ut 01 course vitality was quite extinct. On proceeding to the bar, Mr. Wadley discovered a l arge c l as p k n if e , t h e bl a d e cove rt , with blood, lyin g on th e cou n t er; an d, f rom t h e quant i t y 0 1 blood about the place, and the peculiar construction of that part of the premises, there was no doubt but the deceased wag in the act of serving som e p erson over t h e b ar w h en t h e fatal wound was inflicted, and that she immediately ran up stairs to escape, but fell on the spot where her body was found. There was a glass half full of p or t er on th e coun t er , an d a pene , :, piece, which had no do u bt b een p u t d own to pay f or i t , 'yin& beside it. A rigid inquiry is b e i ng p rosecu t e d by the pollee. - - - - - DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AND LOSS OF This morning, about three o'clock, a fire broke out in th i n house of Mr. Furze, Cl eve l an d- row , S t .
