In the House of Lords yesterday, after the presentation of ,ronie petitior.s, it will be seen by our Parliamentary Report that there was a lengthened and very interesting conversation, io,-igiiiated by the Earl r,f HADDINGTON, on the subject of the Report of the Commissioners on Religious Instruction in ;.::eotl and , The Reprt of ay.) Municipal Corporation Act Amendment was brought up; some amendments were made in the 3;111, after which it was ordered to be printed previouzly to lhe third reading._ In the House of Commons, a discussion, possessing more an or.inary claims upon attentive perusal, arose on that clause in Mr. DUNLOP'S Glasgow and Avr Railway Bill, hie 4 contemplated the prohibition of travelling on the nail s‘ ay between twelve o'clock on Saturday night and twelve on Sunday night. Dr. BOWRING moved the omission this preposterously absurd clause, which, on a division, was -ruck out. and the Bill was consequently passed without the iaras , :ical prohibition. Mr. RoEnt.eK supported his views by rov , rential reference to the New Testament. Some conversation su:ceeded on the subject of a Bill about t Le introduced by Lcrd JonN RUSSELL, for the purpose of suryovs under the English Tithe Bill. In anwer to Mr. HUME, Sir JOUN tionnousE stated that ere would he au immediate distribution of the prize money out of the Burmese! war. Mr. RoEuuct: again adverted to the state of the public ilsinesq. urp;mg the propriety of taking one Bill at a time and thro•agh with it. Lord .iotiN RUSSEI.I. did not perceive the propriety of the nurse recommended. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER attributed the slow • rr,gress m a d e i n t h e G overnment b us i ness part l y to t h e prac t.:.e of adjourning debates for three or four nights, instead concluding them in one. Mr. O'CoNNELL pertinently, and with truth, observed, that Cie arrAt source of ail the mischief was that they turned night i to clay. They should sit as other Houses of Legislature did, r.ine or ten o'clock in the morning, and adjourn in the even i- cr. After a few w or d s f rom o th er H on . M em b ers , 'Lord ions RUSSELL said he was considering the expediency apncintiog a Committee, to inquire into the best mode of 1 - atiscting the business of the House. 11 - . e Punishment of Death for Forgery Bill then went thr , uali a Committee. Lord lo►ix RUSSELL then moved the Order of the Day for t' z House going into Committee on the Bill for the abolition ce the Punishment of Death, in certain cases. Mr. Ew4r.T's motion, which went to the abolition of the unishrnont of death in all cases, except those of murder, was st by a majority of cne only—there being 72 for Mr. W'ART'S Sae, ion ; against it 73. The House then went into Committee on the Bill, when t!ie several clauses were gone through, and the report was or dered to he received on Monday. The Offences against the Person Bill was considered in Cernraittee. The [louse then, at one o'clock, adjourned. The Paris Papers of Thursday bring important in eliigence from the north of Spain. On the 17th instant, after a desperate resistance, General EVANS ilok Iron. The following account of this important victory was communicated by telegraph to the French Government " THE COMMANDANT OF THE 20TH MILITARY DIVISION TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. BA.YON'SE, MAY 17, HALF-PAST IL—General Evans yesterday at noon attacked Irun, which was obstinately de fended. The redoubts are not yet carried ; they make a desperate resistance ; all the outlets are closed to the Car ists. On the demand made to me by General Evans to receive his wounded, I have sent the surgeon of my divi sion : 1 have established a temporary hospital, and have ordered a hospital chest to be forwarded from Bayonne. The wounded are conveyed by the Bidassoa. The Infante "as at Estella on the 15th, Irribarren at Puente la Reyna, in communication with Logrono and Vittoria. "ONE o'CLocK.—General Evans has allowed the women and children to leave Irun. The defence is vigorously con tinued. Espartero occupies Hernani. " FIVE o'CLocK, EVENING.—Since 11 o'clock the Eng lish have carried the redoubts, the nzaison commune, and two-thirds of Irun. Thirteen pieces of artillery have fallen into their hands. Notwithstanding the recommendation of General Evans to make prisoners, the soldiers, exasperated at the violent resistance, gave no quarter. Thirty prisoners only have been conducted to the Christino fortress of Be bohia. Two steamers, eight trincadores, and a schooner, are in sight of Fontarabia, and have commenced firing against the place. " MAY 17, HALF-PAST 10 o'CLocK, P.M.—lrun was taken to-day at one o'clock. Just as the redoubt was capi tulating, Colonel Arbuthnot entered the town by a coup de main, blowing up the gate with a petard. The garrison still resisted, but in vain. The town was delivered up to plunder. 400 prisoners, shut up in the municipality, were grzrdes (protected, we hope) sword is hand by English officers : 200 were bayoneted. Evans did all in his power to stop the shedding of blood. He behaved nobly. The Anglo-Christinos had 150 wounded : 40 are on our terri tory. The land forces are proceeding to attack Fontara bia, which is invested." We are confident that General EVANS will exert his authority to prevent the useless effusion of blood. He has the reputation of being as humane as he is brave, and sorry should we be were he to tarnish his fair fame by any indifference to the protection of a vanquished enemy. To retaliate cruelties upon the most perfidious enemy is abhorrent to the feelings of the British nation, whose moral greatness has never appeared so conspicuous as in the hour of victory. AEWNPATlBRannouncement of this second triumph of the t.. ) .N arms was followed by a rise in the funds on 4urs n Paris. Stocks rose one franc, and would ced higher during the day, had not a ru ,ioo9 spread that Don SEBASTIAN had forced - - the passage of the Ebro. This report has not been confirmed. Intelligence also reached Paris on Thursday even ing of the re-capture of Cantavieja by General ORAA. Seven hundred Carlists were made prisoners, with an immense quantity of stores and baggage. This is the second victory gained by ORAA over the Carlists in the course of a few days. Upon these successes of the Constitutional cause in the North of Spain, the Paris papers of Thursday offer various comments. We copy from the Journal des Debuts—the first French journal to advocate the sound policy of active intervention on the part of France in the Peninsular struggle for liberty—the following re marks on the actual position and probable movements of the belligerents : " The intelligence iipm Spain, published by the Charte of last night, confirm what we said in our number of Monday. The Carlists have given up the intention of se riously defending the lines of Hernani against the Con stitutional army of 30,000 or 32,000 men assembled at St. Sebastian. " We had shown likewise that the Infante Don Sebastian, in leaving Hernani on some expedition, the destination of which was then unknown, co Ad not intend to cross the Ebro on account of the fle,ods in that river, and other ob stacles, which render at present an invasion of Castile ex tremely difficult. " We now find the., Don Sebastian marched to the East, towards Navarre, into the valley of the Borunda, where Huarte-Araqu:i is situated. The presence of General Irri barren at Puente la Reyna, and the dispositions made on that side by the other divisions of the Constitutional army, lied for their object to shut up the passage into Arragon, in case the Infante attempted to cross the Arga, and enter that province by Sanguesia. " The lines of Arlaban, to the north of Vittoria, have be sides been forced by the Christinos. The possession of these defiles, and that of Hernani, render them nearly masters of Guipuscoa, out of which the Carlists had kept them during the last two years. The insurgent forces ap pear to have left the country at the discretion of the supe rior Constitutional forces, to retire into the Borunda and the Amezcoas. " Thus, the advantage is so far on the side of the Queen's troops, and we see the realization of the hopes we had con ceived from the commencement of the new plan of campaign. " One thing, however, is to be dreaded, that is, that while the principal constitutional forces are collected in and z‘bout St. Sebastian, and the Infante effecting a diversion towards the East, a Carlist expedition may contrive to pe netrate into Old Castile, towards the West, between Or duna and Bilboa, through Balmaceda and the Encarta ciones, in which direction the Ebro is a mere rivulet, easy to ford at all seasons." We do not participate in the fears - expressed in the concluding sentence of this extract from the Debats. The main body of Don CARLOS'S army will not follow his standard across the Ebro, so that were the passage of the river undisputed, it would avail him nothing in a military point of view. He cannot hope to reach Madrid at the head of a force sufficient to put him in possession of the capital ; and he dare not propose the plunder of the seat of Government as a lure to men whom he cajoles with the idea that they are embarked in the cause of legitimacy, justice, and religion. Besides, any offer to such an effect would drive all Spain to take arms against him. In losing the Basques he loses everything. There is no domestic intelligence of any moment in the French Papers of Thursday. Nothin , is talked of but the approaching marriage of the Duke of On- LEA NS. A rumour prevailed that the Chambers would be dissolved as soon as Ministers shall have disposed of the budget for the current year, the general discus sion on which closed in the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday. The popularity of the KING, ill conse quence of the amnesty, daily increases. FRENCH FUNDS.-PA3tIA. MAY 18. Fare per Cents., 10caf. i 07f. 95c. 108 f.

Belgian Society, I,' 3.'f The Earl of HADDINGTON executed a little bit of a manoeuvre in the House of Lords last night, accord ing to the newest and most approved model of Tory tactics. The Noble Lord thought no doubt that while the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland is sitting, and the Glasgow election coming on, he would render some service to the faction to which he belongs, if he could get his MAJESTY'S Government into dis credit with the advocates for a grant of public money to build and endow Churches in the northern part of the kingdom. With this excellent purpose in view, the Noble Lord, under pretence of asking a single ques tion of Lord MELBOURNE, (which question had bee❑ answered by a Minister of the Crown in the House of Commons two or three weeks ago), made a long speech, full of ardent breathings in favour of the Kirk—the communion of which, if we are not mistaken, he has like most of the Scottish nobility quitted—and strongly urging upon Ministers the necessity of an immediate issue of bank notes, to supply the deficiency in Church accommodation said to exist in Scotland. Though we can appreciate the tact which induced the Noble Earl to moot this point, just at the present moment, we cannot, we are bound to say, compliment him upon the skill which he displayed in working out the details of his subject. A more blundering affair than he made of it we never recollect to have seen. It is well known to all who take any interest in this matter, that the ob ject of the Commission, upon whose Report Lord HADDINGTON would have us believe he founded his side-wind attack on the Government, was twofold—viz , to inquire into the state of reli gious accommodation, and also into the resources that might be applicable to its extension. Now it cannot be denied by any one who is entitled to be reasoned with, that the latter branch of the enquiry is at least of so much importance, that until the re sult of it be laid before Parliament, it would be not only premature, but utterly indecent on the part of Ministers, to come down and demand a grant of the public money, for any additional supply of Churches or Ministers. The thing would be wholly without precedent, and clearly without excuse— it would, in fact, amount to a confession that the ap pointment of the Commission was a blunder. The state of the case is shortly this. The Commissioners have made a Report, which includes only a small portion of the first branch of the inquiry, containing nothing be yond the religious statistics of Edinburgh and its suburbs. Lord HADDINGTON himself acknowledges that " the Report was necessarily, from the nature of the investigation, exceedingly perplexed and con fused, and was by no means a complete document." Yet it is in virtue of this document, which is by his own showing entirely unfit to be made the sub ject of any legislative measure, that the KING'S Mi nisters are called upon to put their hands into the pockets of the Irish Catholics, the English Church men, and the English and Scotch Dissenters, to sup port the religious worship of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland. We must also notice the somewhat important fact, of which the Noble Lord found it convenient to suppress all mention—namely, that there is at this moment unoccupied sitting-room in the Churches of Edinburgh for TWENTY THOUSAND persona: Now, does it not seem a plain dic- THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1837. tate of common sense, to wait until this vacant space is filled up, before we increase it at the expense of those who cannot conscientiously give their money for this purpose, thus multiplying places of worship which are evidently not wanted ? The clause which was introduced the other evening into the Glasgow and Ayr Railway Bill, preventing travelling by that conveyance on Sundays, was last night struck out by a majority of 115 to 83. 'We are delighted with this result. It is the triumph of com mon sense over fanaticism. Had the clause been per mitted to remain, the mischiefs it would have occasioned would have bet,::,e incalculable. It would have led to numerous other vexatious interferences of the same sort ; and made the Sabbath a day of gloom and sorrow, instead of what it is, and ever should be, a day of repose and harmless enjoyment. The great fault we find with all these Sunday strait-waistcoating measures of the Saints is, that they begin at the wrong end, and are altogether of an exclusive, pharisaic character. They are so drawn up as to bring only the poorer classes within the sphere of legislation, while they offer not the slightest obstruction to the enjoyments of the rich. They shut up the barber's shop and the baker's oven, while they keep open the aristocratic club and hotel. They excommunicate the poor man's steam-coach, while they tolerate the rich man's carriage. They see nothing improper in Dives's canter on horse-back through the Parks, but all that is mischievous in Lazarus's walk through the green fields to a tea-garden. The pa trician's bottle of Burgundy at the Clarendon is sacred in their eyes ; but the plebeian's glass of home-brewed at the village ale-house, is an abomination to be depre cated in the most indignant terms. They do not say that " because they arc virtuous" there shall be no more hock and venison ; but simply and exclusively that there shall be "no more cakes and ale." They have a pious horror of the old women who stand at the corners of the small streets, or at the opening of the suburban fields, selling ginger-beer to the humbler pe destrians ; but infinite reverence for the dapper, smirk ing valet who holds the great man's horses at the door of LONG'S or CRGCKFORD'S. They divide society into two classes, the privileged and unprivileged ; de nounce the one, and hold out the right-hand of fellow ship to the other. In a word, they set themselves up as Grand Inquisitors, whose first great duty it is to torture on the rack of Sunday-restriction Acts, all who are poor and defenceless. Now against this paltry, ungenerous, one-sided system of legislation, we have always protested, and shall always continue to protest without stint or reservation. Why is forbearance to be shown only to the rich? Are they more moral—more enlightened—more religious—than the poo:? Have they a more refined sense of social propriety—a more innate veneration for the de cencies of the Sabbath ? Alas, the annals of the West-end tell a far different story ! Mr. ROE BUCK spoke out on this subject last night in a way that does him infinite credit, and impresses us with a high respect for his manly, unaffected, and zealous piety. He exposed the humbug of the Saints by ar guments drawn from that very volume, by whose in spired doctrines they profess to be regulated. He con victed Sir ANDREW AGNEW on the express authority of St. PAUL ; and the orthodox Member for Oxford, on that of two Archbishops of the Established Church ! The Saints 4 c prdin g ly were stung to the quick ; and as is usual with men so situated, resorted to the foulest abuse. Mr. DUNLOP, in particular, pretty plainly intimated that the Member for Bath was devoid of all " sense of religion"—a favourite mode of attack with the Tories, who discovered but the other day that Mr. LEADER was an " Atheist," be cause he dared to put himself forward in opposition to Sir FRANCIS BURDETT ! When men have the worst of an argument they always resort to abuse ; and the grossness of Mr. DUNLOP'S calumny points out the exact degree to which he is in the wrong. We direct the attention of our readers to the rcport of the debate on the Criminal Laws Amendment Bill, by which it will be seen that Mr. EWART'S motion for the total abolition of the punishment of death, was lost by a majority of only one ! This is an earnest that the time is not far distant when a more merciful and enlightened spirit shall prevail in our Criminal Code. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) The Reformers of Glasgow have become peculiar objects of solicitude to our apostate Contemporary of Printing-house-square. The fate of the Monarchy is made to depend upon their choice of a Representa tive ; and the Times, with a gravity which must con vulse ail Glasgow with laughter, lectures them this morning upon their duty to GOD, their country, and themselves. It would be worth something to see the countenances of the " guid folks" of Glasgow while in the act of perusing the 'limes "voluntary" and unsought strictures on political purity, probity, consistency, and stern patriotism ; and it would be worth still more to hear them comment upon such shameless effrontery on the part of a journal wallowing in the mire of political tergiversation. And what, after all, does the Times recommend the Glasgow constituency to do ? Choose a Tory ? 0, no ! With all its impu dence it durst not venture upon such a recom mendation. Choose a Whig ? No ; that would not do either; for no honest Whig would unite with the Tory faction against the present Government. Choose a Radical ? The Times would recommend the Father of Lies as soon to a seat in Parliament as any independent Member of that body. The Repre sentative whom the Times recommends is a man of no principles ; or rather, a man whose pretensions to principle embody the ingredients of Whiggery, Tory. ism, and Radicalism in nearly equal parts. " Viewing the Glasgow constituency as a circle," observes our Con temporary, " whose range comprises every degree of liberal opinion, from the most negative to the most extra vagant, it is plain that the central point between these ex tremes is that alone in which, with justice to all par ties, the political sentiments of the voters ought to be converged—in other words, the compromise of indi vidual bias, which is inevitable on such occasions as the present, ought clearly to he in favour of a candi date whose political principles being midway between extremes, will demand from the bulk of electors the least possible sacrifice in giving him their support." A candidate answering to this description would be;very easily found ; but we are confident such a man would not obtain the suffrages often voters in all the West of Scotland. Glasgow is too intelligent—too deeply in terested in the result of the struggle now carried on between despotism and liberty—to send to Parliament a knave or a ninny ; for such must:be the representative who can occupy the political position pointed out by the Times. It would be presumptuous in us impress upon the intelligent constituency of Glasgow the sacred impor tance of the duty which they are now about to per form. We will not flatter the vanity of the least worthy among them, by stating that the fate of the empire, or even the stability of the Ministry, depends upon their choice—for we are confident that nothing but the occasion is wanted to induce them to do their duty ; but we do take leave to tell them that the Re formers of England and Ireland regard their proceed ings with intense interest. May their choice of a Re presentative be worthy of the liberal and enlightened spirit which distinguishes the capital of the West of Scotland ! Mr. Hawkes, M.P. for Dudley, had an interview yesterday with the President of the Board of Trade. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, MAY 19.—Arrived the Kingston, Cargill, Savannah.

The only intelligence of importance we have this morning are the telegraphic dispatches from Paris, announcing the cap ture of Irun by General Evans, after an obstinate resistance on the part of the Carlist garrison, most of whom were unfortu nately put to the sword. Don Sebastian, with his 16 batta lions, has joined Don Carlos at Estella, and in all probability we shall soon hear of an attempt of the Carlist army to force the passage of the Ebro, and carry the war into Castile. The accounts received yesterday from Glasgow were rather of an unfavourable description in respect to commercial affairs. In the Foreign Exchange yesterday afternoon there has been no alteration of consequence, and it appears that the public disposition is at present to dispose of capital in the funds, and not discount without having first-rate security. This was the cause of the buoyant state of the British Funds during the course of yesterday. Au arrangement has been entered into with the Dutch Go vernment, by which a portion of the Dividends in the Dutch Five per Cent.

NEGRO APPRENTICESHIP.--A Select Committee was appointed last night in the House of Commons, " to inquire into the working of the apprenticeship system in the Colonies, the condition of the apprentices and the emancipated Negroes, and the laws and regulations affecting them ; arid also the state of education of the Negroes in the Colonies, consisting of Mr. Powell Buxton, Sir George Grey, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Baines, Sir Stratford Can ning, Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Andrew Johnston, Mr. Thornley, Mr. Patrick Stewart, Mr. Charles Lushington, Mr. Dunlop, Sir James Graham, Lord Viscount Sandon, and Lord Viscount Howick. PROVINCIAL BANK OF IRELAND.—In our re port of the above meeting in yesterday's publication, for M. O'Farrell, Esq., Chairman, read Oliver Farrer, Esq. , for W. Marshall, Esq., secretary, read James Marshall Esq. ; and for S. E. Morgan read Mayan. We have just - heard that - the noble-minded elector-4 of Westminster who supported Sir Francis Burdett at the late election, many of whom did not record their voles in con sequence of not considering it necessrry from the state of the poll from the earliest hour, intend celebrating his return by a dinner, and have invited Sir Francis to attend. One of the theatres is spoken of for this occasion, to give the ladies an op portunity of witnessing the splendid reception of the patriotic Baronet by the friends of our glorious Constitution.—Morning Post. When Sir Francis Burdett was in the zenith of his po pularity, and just after he first became the representative for the city of Westminster, some of his honest constituents, who arc known, issued a bill in the form of a Bank of England note, on which was inscribed a " promise to pay the bearer, on de mand, the sum of 1,0001., when Sir F. Burdett ceases to be a patriot and an honest man." It is said that some of those notes are in the possession of individuals who intend suing the issuers for the amount, the Baronet having become an apos tate, and a most dishonest political character.—Bath Guar dian. Sir Francis Burdett arrived at the George Hotel, in this town, on Wednesday evening. No sooner was the Hon. Baronet's visit known than the Conservative bells rung a merry welcome to Westminster's Glory. Sir Francis returned from Leicestershire on Friday morning, and changed horses at the above hotel. We presume the Member for Westmin ster was on his way to the House of Commons, where his pre sence is so much desired. It is to be hoped this short excur sion into the country, together with the long vocation which Sir Francis enjoyed, has in some degree strengthened him for his Parliamentary dutic3. The aurae of the lion. Baronet has ceased to be a " dead letter," and his votes which were at a discount and told for nothing are now at a high premium. What a blessing is Toryism to the country I—Northampton Chronicle. The Earl and Countess of Cadogan had a distin guished party to dinner, last evening, at Cadogan House. The Duke of Montrose, Prince Esterhazy, Marquis of Douro, Mar quis of Hertford, Marchioness of Aylesbury, Viscount and Vis countess Sydney, Count Danniskiold, Lord and Lady Mahon, Sir John Conroy, Lord and Lady Willoughby d'Eresby, and Hon. Mr. Cowper, were among the guests. On Thursday evening the Noble Earl and Countess's dinner party, included Lady Stormont, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Drummond, Colonel Armstrong, &c. After holding the office of Town-clerk of Hull for a year and a half under a Reformed Corporation, Mr. Codd has been called upon to retire by a unanimous vote of that body. The considerations which led to his dismissal appear to have been three. First, that his employers had found him difficult of access; second, that he had made unreasonable charges as solicitor to the Corporation ; third, that he had leagued himself with a society formed with a view to alter the complexion of the council from Liberal to Tory.—Hull Advertiser. It will be seen by the Report of the proceedings of the Town Council (p. 4.), that the gift of an extensive library has been offered to that body by Admiral Sir Henry Bayntun, on the part of a lady named Hallam, sister of the celebrated historian, provided that a suitable room is found for its recep tion. This splendid offer is referred to the " Education Com mittee," which was moved for and obtained by Mr. Alderman Shenstone some time back, and no doubt they will exert them selves strenuously to secure so valuable a present, and to de posit it in a place suitable to the wishes of the donor.—Bath Herald. A reward of 1001. has been offered by Government in addition to the reward of 501. offered by individuals for the discovery of the perpetrator of the atrocious murder recently committed in Frederick-street, Hampstead-road; and yester day the Government Police Report contained another offer of 100/. reward also for the discovery and conviction of the mur derer of Eliza Hemmings, at Chatterly-bridge, near Shelton, in Staffordshire. The last-mentioned atrocity occurred on the 15th of April, and in this, as in the other case, the Royal pardon is promised in addition to the rewards to any one con cerned (except of course the actual murderer), for such evi dence as may lead to conviction. On Tuesday last a wager was decided at Easton by Mr. Lincoln's dog Crab. The terms of the wager were, that he would not kill .50 rats in five minutes ; but to the great sur prise of the company assembled, he actually killed 51 in the short space of four minutes.—Su f folk Chronicle. What a noisy creature would man be were his voice, in proporticn to his weight, as powerful as that of a grass hopper, which may be heard at a distance of one-sixteenth of a mile. The kolibri weighs about half an ounce, so that a man of ordinary size, weighs about as much as 4,000 kolibris. One kolibri must weigh at least as much as four grasshoppers. Assuming, then, that a man weighs as much as 16,000 grasshoppers, and that the voice of one of these may be heard at the distance of one-sixteenth of a mile, that of a man, were it in proportion to his weight, would be audible at the distance of 1,000 miles ; and when he sneezed, he would run the risk of bringing the house about his ears, like the walls of Jericho at the sound of the trumpets. Asstiming, further, that a flea weighs a grain, which is something more than its real weight, and that it is able to clear one inch and a half at a spring, a man of 150 pounds weight would, by the same rule, be able to make a spring over a space of 12,800 miles, and consequently, leap with ease from New York to Cochin China. Aristophanes represents Socrates and his pupils occupied in a similar computation. They are exhibited calculating the weight of a flea's leg in proportion to that of its body. The ironical calculation of Aristophanes, however, falls far short of that of the New York Sua. WINDSOR-FRIDAY. The health of her Majesty, we are happy to say, is so much improved that the Queen is now enabled to join the Royal party at luncheon. His Majesty, accompanied by Sir Herbert Taylor, re turned to the Castle from St. James's last night. The King, owing to the coldness of the weather, has not left the Castle to-day. Last night Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Dr. Davies, and Sir H. Neale returned to the Castle. We are glad to learn that Prince Ernest of Philippsthal is much better. Lady Gordon, the Dean of Hereford, Mdlle. D'Este, and Miss Hudson are expected to arrive at the Castle this evening. The Commanding Officers of the regiments on duty here will have the honour of joining the Royal dinner party this evening. The Duchess of Gloucester rode out this afternoon in a close carriage in the Park. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.
