The reply of the Duchess of KENT to the congra tulatory Address presented to her yesterday by the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, on the auspicious occasion of her daughter, the Princess VICTORIA, having completed her 18th year, is one that cannot be too warmly commended for its grace, simplicity, feeling, and more especially for its constitutional character. It is devoid, in a remar kable degree, of that cold preciseness and formal no meaning of which--'till within the last few years —Royal replies were so full. The spirit of the Mother breathes throughout it, in a way that must come home to every feeling bosom. We do not envy either the head or heart of that person who can peruse this frank, touching, and unaffected passage without emotion :—" I pass over the earlier part of my connexion with this country. I will merely briefly observe that my late regretted Consort's cir cumstances and my duties obliged us to reside in Ger many. I3nt the Duke of KENT at much inconve nience, r..nd I, at great personal risk, returned to Eng land, that our child should be born and bred a Briton. In a few months afterwards my infant and myself were awfully deprived of father and husband. We stood alone, almost friendless and unknown, in this country. I could not even speak the language of it. I did not hesitate how to act. I gave up my home, my kindred, my duties, to devote myself to that duty which was to be the whole object of my future life." Her Royal Highness then pro ceeds to say, " I have in times of great difficulty avoided all connection with any party in the State"— how different this from the Royal replies of ten years back, which, in nine cases out of ten, used to breathe an ardent Tory spirit !—and concludes by ob serving that her daughter, " communicating, as she does, with all classes of society," will, when the period arrives that shall summon her to the throne, feel—and act upon the conviction—" that with the desire to preserve the Constitutional preroga tives of the Crown, ought to be co-ordinate the protec tion of the lib ert i es o f t h e people. " Reared under the auspices of such a mother, and inheriting such principles, the future life of the Princess VICTORIA cannot but be one of pride to herself and happiness to her country. Assuring us, as s h e h as d one through the meditim of the Duchess of KENT, that she avoids " all connexion with any party in the State," we may predict without hesitation that her reign—distant be its date !--will be charac terised by an enlarged and beneficent system of policy, of which all classes of her subjects shall equally reap he advantage. 'e consider the conduct of those Members of the Government who voted in the House of Commons last night against the adoption of the Report of the Select Committee on the London and Brighton Rail way Bill, as most reprehensible. Mr. P. THAAISON'S attempt at a justification of a course so unusual as that of the whole Treasury Bench voting in a body Ilgainst a Report on a private Bill, aggravates rather than extenuates all that is unjustifiable in such an un precedented proceeding. If the appointment of a military engineer by his MAJESTY be necessary to the reconciliation of rival speculators, the pecuniary inte rest of Companies, and the corrert judgment of the I - louse of Commons—as was stated last night by the Right Hon. the President of the Board of Trade-- wherefore did,he and his colleagues at the commence ment of the Session oppose the appointment of such an engineer for the survey of all proposed lines of road ? What other reason can there be for resorting to such a measure now, save that the Government is determined, right or wrong, to have Sir Jour: RE/4.. NIE'S line —which the Committee approve of as the best and shortest, and recommend to the House for its adoption rejected ? No person in his senses would believe that the individual scruples of Air. P. Thom- SON led to such an extraordinary course on the part of Ministers. The Report of the Committee is certainly no hasty, ill-judged production, drawn up without sufficient time for previous deliberation. The Com mittee sat for forty-two days during the last ses sion of Parliament, and for thirty-five days during the present session, in the course of which time an immense mass of evidence was taken, and all the se veral plans very carefully examined. In submitting its Report to the House, the Committee offers the following reasons for its preference of Sir Jour: - REN NIE's line over all the others submitted to it :- 1. That it is the shortest line. 2. That it can be travelled at the least expense to the public. 3. That the Termini are central and convenient for the public. - 4. That it interferes with less ornamental property than the others. 5. That the nature of tLe soil through which it passes is favourable to the work, 6 That it connects the ports of Shoreham and New haven, and the county town of Lewes with Brighton and London. 7. That it runs through the centre of the counties of Surrey and Sussex, and afrurds great facilities of communication cast and west. S. That it is supported by a great majority of the inhabi tants of Brighton. 9. And lastly t That the Committee adopted Sir .10 2 ‘a rtc:rinie's line, upon a careful considcrg. Vence upon the varioul: I :nlY6 Jore it, ot the Irhole of the Ministl=:;; 7lowever, have chosen to stnltify ttve ._.port of the Committee, but upon what Oninds we will not take upon us to determine. Our deliberate conviction is that they have therein acted most un-, tty leaving room to question their impartiality ) snd‘chat is s►ill worse, establishing a dangerous pre , cedent, subversive of the authcr%ty of the House ut Commons. The 'scene in the Hol!tz. of Commons last evening, during the Xs.:,ussion on Sir JAMES GRAitAMS mo tiol4 WAS in the highest deftect tiieresting, and the result must have 13fttt iiiost gratifying to every impart tial Mentbet ut the House. The contrast between the conattet of the plaintiff and defendant (if we may use law terms) was sa striking, that the House, after Mr. STANLEY'S satisfactory explanation, would listed to no other Member. Sir ROBERT INGLIS tried in vain to bring back the House to " the real point at issue ;" but the House had made up their minds on the sub ject, Mr. WI NN considered his authority would have some weight, and succeeded the Hon. Baronet; but he was equally disregarded, and after two t..r three attempts. to be heard, his voice, which was raised to its utmost pitch, was drowned amidst the general noise s and the order was discharged with acclamation. The incourteous beha viour of the Cumberland Bart.contributed, pethaps even more than Mr. STANLEY'S spirited and candid state ment, to such a result. Even if he had been culpable, the treatment he received from Sir JAMES GRAHAM would have been sufficient to produce an acquittal. The account of the short scene behind the SPEAKER's Chair seemed to fill every Member with disgust ; the Hon. Baronet could make no reply to that part of the subject ; and, none of his friends, not even Mr. RICHARDs or Mr. BORTIIWICK, volunteered to come to the rescue. It was gratifying to see unfair and malevolent conduct towards old friends meet with such summary and effectual punishment from both sides of the House. The silence of the Tories was even more expressive than the loud cheers of their opponents. There was an animated discussion in the House of Commons last night on the subject of the privileges of the House, which have been called in question by the Chief Justice of the King's Bench, as far as the pub lication for sale of reports, &c., containing libellous matter, is concerned. Lord HowiCK commenced the debate by moving the following resolutions : " That the power of publishing such of its reports, votes, and proceedings as it shall deem necessary or conducive to the public interests, i 3 an essential incident to the constitutional functions of Parliament, more especially of this House, as the representative portion of it. . __ " That, by the law and privilege of Parliament, this House has the sole and exclusive jurisdiction to determine upon the existence and extent of its privileges, and that the institution or prosecution of any action, suit, or other proceeding, for the purpose of bringing them into discussion or decision before any court or tribunal elsewhere than in Parliament, is a high breach of such privilege, and renders all parties concerned therein amenable to its just displeasure, and to the punishment consequent thereon. " That for any court or tribunal to assume to decide upon matters of privilege inconsistent with the determination of either House of Parliament thereon, is contrary to the law of Parliament, and is a breach and contempt of the privileges of Parliament." These resolutions are in strict conformity with the spirit of the report made by the Committee appointed to inquire into the law and practice of Parliament. The Committee found that the House did possess, and had always acted upon, the powers which the advocates of privilege claim for it. Lord Howices resolutions, therefore, really amount to nothing more than a decla ration, founded upon an uninterrupted stream of pre cedent through the last two centuries, of the privileges vested in the popular branch of the Legislature. These privileges are no doubt extensive, and at first sight may seem inconsistent with the liberty of the subject ; but they are not so in fact. On the contrary, we be lieve them to be essentially necessary to the well-being of the nation—the upholding and improving the civil and social system of which we so justly boast the superiority over other nations. What, it will per haps be asked, is there no danger in allowing such arbitrary power to a single branch of the Legislature ? Where then, we answer, is the power to be lodged ? It must be lodged somewhere. It is absolutely neces sary, we take it for granted, that the people should be informed of the proceedings of the House of Commons, and how is this to be accomplished, if the rules of in ferior Courts are to interdict communication between Members and their constituents. We lay it down as a fundamental maxim, that the acts of the House of Commons are exempted from all legal ju risdiction, because that House is the representative of of the people for whom, and by whom, all laws are supposed to be made. We therefore contend for the omnipotence of the House of Commons in this matter of privilege, and in so doing are, we conceive, con tending for the pre-eminence of the rights of the people. That individuals may occasionally suffer by the exer cise of authority on the part of the House of Commons is nothing to the point, although it seems to be the only argument relied upon by the opponents of the re solutions, because it is met and refuted at once by the plea of, public benefit, to which all private considera tions must give way. Instances of what appears to be, and indeed is, great individual hardship, are occur ring daily and hourly in those very Courts of Law, which pretend to limit the powers of the Commons of England. The whole system of law is little else than a system of sacrifice of individual and natural right to the supposed interests of the social state. But not to go farther than the mere course of proceeding at the trial of a cause in a court of justice, what can be more strictly parallel to the case in question than the publication of the evidence given in court, which we instanced on a former occasion ? The evidence may contain matter, the publication of which whether true or false, may be ruinous to the character and fortune of individuals. Does the law say you shall not publish such evidence ? Or does it say that the sufkring, and perhaps in nocent party, shall have compensation for the wrong ? By no means. It says simply, but unanswer ably, there is no remedy for this. It is a partial evil arising necessarily out of a general good. The public interest requires that proceedings in Courts of Justice should be published, and this being the case, it is impossible to prevent occasional injury to individuals. So it is with the publication of the pro ceedings of the House of Commons, but with this dif ference, that, as these proceedings are infinitely more important than those of any other other assembly, their publication is of proportional importance in a national point of view. As to the distinction which Lord DEN MAN attempted to set up between the publication of Reports, Votes, &c. for sale, and not for sale, we are perfectly astonished that a man of his penetration should have allowed himself to attribute the least weight to it. If the publication be necessary and desirable what can the mode signify—the greater the publicity the greater the benefit. The whole of the Paris papers—,-morning and even ing—have been received. The Charte of Monday night contains the following telegraphic intelligence from Spain : BORDEAUX, MAY 28, HALF-PAST 7, P.M.—On the 24th the Infante (Don Sebastian) entered Huesca. Irribarren attacked him the same day, and after having caused him a loss of 400 men, retired on Almudevas, where he was still on the 25th, Don Sebastian remaining on the same day at Huesca. Bri• gadier-General Leon, commanding the Christino cavalry, was killed. General Irribarren was wounded, and has been re placed by Buerens, who had on the 21st arrived at Saragossa, with 3,000 infantry and 200 horse. Nothing is said of the future direction of the Carlist expedition. The death of General LEON, who was a brave offi cer, will be severely felt by the Constitutionalists. Notwithstanding the cautious wording of the dispatch we are inclined to think that IRRIBARREN was re pulsed in his rash attempt to dispossess the Carlists of Huesca, with a force numerically one-third less than that commanded by Don SEBASTIAN. The replacing of IRRIBARREN by BUERENS in the com mand of the troops, shows that the former gallant offi cer has been wounded so severely as to prevent him from keeping the field. On the subject of the movements of the PrOoder on the Ebro, the Mes.cager has the following observa tions, suggested by the letter of a Carlist e6rtespotident at .Baree!ona Yesterday our advicts left Don Carlos and his troops at Luena and Marracos. On the 23d the Carlists occupied these two poaitions. On the 24th the Pretender erossed, be tween Arrbe and Gitrrea, the too Mad from garagosa to Jomai anti Mitered tittesta: After reading the dispatches of an intercepted courier from Saragossa, the Pretender seeped tb pitrsqe directly road toWards 1d Ciitaloniat This appeart; hokVeVef., to have heen.but a reigned one, l'ot t o tit@ tilglit of the 24th he suddenly changed his di. rection, ascended to the north, and 7:- r ...ny marched towards the Jaca mc"An!aT.l: On the morning of the 26th his batta irons namktea And Ballo, at tho corner of this ftiOlkn: Meat . , It appears that grace designed by Don Carlos for diva ><rak ta.r his Government.

The whole upper Dart of that province, we are assured ? , awritii but hit Pelbae to join his standard, it that his march between the Vd 'Ltd i:ith has determined a rising at Loarre, Sarsa, Sietarno, Ayerbe, and in all the neighbouring places, and that in all that part of Arragon the Queen's authorities have been expelled, and replaced by_ Catilst authorities. Whilst ben Cartes adVinte% towards Upper Catalonia the agitatioti ebnr , tinttei at narcclona, and the poptilatioh, its well as the military authorities, arc preparing for a fresh and bloody conflict. The municipality and provincial deputation, dreading the move ments and not wishing, say they, to be • the victims of it, aro retiring cn masse. This statement is full of exaggeration, both as re gatds the success of the Carlists and the popular hos tility to the Constitutional authorities. The mountains of Upper Catalonia will afford but bleak quarters to the army of the Pretender. His affairs were never mote desperate than they are at this moment. A Spanish Envoy Extraordinary arrived in Paris on Monday evening with dispatches for the French Government. Of their contents nothing had transpired. We regret to learn that ESPARTERO had not, on the 44th, moved towards Tolosa. It is really unfor. tunate that this General cannot be brought to follow up the successes which occasionally attend his arms. Had he bestirred himself he might have reached the Ebro ere this, and so brought the strength of the Queen's army to bear against the Carlist expeditionary force. Instead, however, of pursuing the Carlists he remains at Hernani, ordering reconnoisances for the discovery of concealed stores, leaving the country to be desolated by an enemy regardless of the usages of civilized warfare. The Monde, an ultra-republican and seldom well informed journal, publishes in its impression of Mon day the following extract from a letter from Madrid, dated the 20th instant. We offer no comment upon the statement which it contains, save that it wants authentication : Three extraordinary couriers have arrived here to-day from the army of the north, bringing extremely important dis patches relative to a conspiracy which had been discovered in the army, and in which several superior officers, and one or two Majors, are said to be implicated ; their object being to declare for the Pretender as soon as a favourable opportunity should offer. The chiefs of this conspiracy are said to be some persons in the Queen's palace, and several others of the higher classes of society. The Minister of War has just sent two couriers to General Espartero, with orders to arrest above forty officers of all ranks, and to have them tried by a court-martial, and shot in twenty-four hours, if their crime should be duly proved. Some important arrests will be made at Madrid to-night, but I do not believe that an attempt to penetrate into the Palace will be ventured upon. If this misfortune should happen, several others will follow, for I do not know how the people will re ceive this news when it becomes known. The Spanish Ambassador at Paris has addressed a letter to the Editor of the Constitutionnel, in which he positively denies having ever wrote any' dispatch conceived in terms offensive to the King of the FRENCH, or insulting towards his MAJESTY'S Go vernment. His Excellency complains of the injustice of the Debats in giving currency to such a falsehood. The Madrid Gazette of the 21st has also the follow ing official contradiction of the calumnious statement, that such a dispatch was read in the secret sitting of the Cortes on the 18th instant : A certain part of the Opposition, having exhausted all its weapons for attacking Ministers on the ground of their inter nal policy, do not hesitate to falsify facts relating to our fo reicrbn connections, at the risk of compromising the most sa cred interests of the country. They make no difficulty in stating that M. Campuzano, her Majesty's Minister at Paris, had transmitted a note to our Government, announcing that the King not only declined all intervention or co-operation in favour of the cause of Isabella 11., or, which is the same thing, of the freedom of Spain, but would entirely abandon the cause, if the present Cabinet, under M. Calatrava, re tained the direction of affairs. We are authorised to give a positive contradiction to this statement, and to declare its en tire falsehood. Others of the same faction have perfidiously added another pretended communication, as made by the Ca binet to the Cortes at the secret sitting of the 19th instant, but cover their calumnies with the saving phrase—it is said. The following extract from the Sentinelle des P . yrennees includes the whole of the advices' from Spain in the French Papers of Monday. The Spanish loan of 250 millions of francs is definitively agreed to by M. Aguado, under the guarantee of England and France. The loan will be contracted in the name of the Cortes, and not in that of the Minister of Finance, M. Mendi zabal, which the lenders do not approve. The KING and Royal family are in the highest state of pleasurable excitement, on the occasion of the Duke of ORLEANS marriage. Not so his I►n perial MAJESTY the ; Autocrat of all the Russias. He is in high dudgeon, and is reported to have signi fied to M. de BAR ANTE, the French Ambassador, how much the alliance displeased him. It has al ready led to unpleasant scenes at the decorous Court of Berlin. FRENCH FUNDS.—Psaia, MAT 29 Five per Cents., 1054 f. 50c. 45c. 40c. Four and a Half per Cents. lOrf. 4Cc.

THE NEW NOVEL," AUNT DOROTHY'S TALE; OR GERALDINE MORTON."—There is a freshness and talent about this production which has exceedingly captivated our fancy. There is not a hack line in it : what a treat for a re viewer 1 And a reviewer in these days, when one job succeeds another with such unremitting activity, that it almost seems at the end of season, as if we had read only one huge work. We are not going to say that Aunt Dorothy is faultless ; but her blots are very venial, and far more than redeemed by a natural beauty and a fine vein of genuine feeling which pervade the whole. The descriptions, too, are charmingly natural. Hav ing said thus much, we shall merely add (for we will not im pair the interest of the narrative) that the object of the author has been to contrast two female characters, the one founded on religious principles, the other left more unguarded to the temp tations of the world.—Literary Gazette.—[We have heard that this beautiful production is from the pen of the lady of Sir William Chatterton.—Globe].

P., moved for a rule to show cause why the rule should not be made absolute in this case. It was a charge which had been made against a surgeon of Cambridge for the unskilful treatment of the infant child of Amelia Berton at the time of birth, by which It died, and who had been committed by the Coroner for manslaughter. After the affidavits had been read at length by the officers of the Court, the Hon. and Learned Counsel said that the prisoner had been in considerable practice for upwards of 30 years, and that he was advanced in life, being now in his 67th year, and that confinement would be very injurious to his general health. The COURT directed that the prisoner should enter into sureties, himself in the sum of 1001., and four others in 201. each, and that notice of the same be served on the Coroner by whom he was committed.

We have received Montreal Papers this morning to the 6th of May, and Quebec to the 3d of May, from which the fol lowing are extracts : " The Branch at Quebec of the Bank of British North America, and the Canada Marine Insurance Company, are now in full operation. " The Provincisl Parliament will be further prorogued to the 10th of June, and not then summoned to meet for dis patch of business. " UFPER CANADA.—How the great convulsion in the Money Market trill affect this country it is hard to guess. Our concerns bein g generally of a very limited nature, we have happily not to dread failures, such as involve scores of families in sudden distress ; but we may reasonably expect a flat sea son, which we must meet with all the philosophy we can muster, and cheer ourselves with the hopes of better times to come. " The Princess Victoria started for Laprarie yesterday morn ing, but could not approach within half a mile of the landing, owing to the accumulation of the ice, and was obliged to return to port. On Sunday night there was a fall of snow, and yes terday the weather was very cold, with a heavy north-west wind. " l'rovisions of all kinds have a tendency to decline in price. Business has not yet commenced, and fears are entertained it will not be very active." The Quebec Papers state that the corn market continues flat and languid. The weather, after a gentle rain, changed to cold, with a strong north-easterly wind. The river at Quebec was open from the ice. Three ships have got up. THE FUNDS. Consols left off 91i 4, opened at 9111 1; Money 91.

We have just learnt that letters are in town from Madrid of the 21 st. inst., which do not mention any conspiracy in the Spanish Army of the North. This is settling day in the Foreign Market ; up to the pre sent hour the Account is going off without any failures. HALF-PAST ONE. The Bank Directors resumed their meeting again this day at one o'clock, which, it is supposed, will decide the question of their continuing to give further assistance to the American houses. The settling of the Account in the Foreign Market con tinues to go off well. The heaviest to settle are Spanish and Portuguese : in the former the extreme fluctuation has been 4 per cent., and in the latter about 3 per cent. The account in the French papers of a conspiracy hating been detected in the Spanish army of the North does not gain credit in the city. The speculators in Spanish Stock are anxious to have farther particulars respecting the defeat of Irribarren at Huesca. New York papers have been received this morning, and are of the same disastrous description as we published yesterday. Consols have continued during the morning steady at 91i for the Account ; at present may be quoted 91 ; Money 9th, little business has been doing ; Exchequer Bills lower, 36 premium ; India Bonds lower, 34 prem. ; Bank Stock, 204 ; India ditto, 260 ; Money in the house is at 3 per cent. ; on foreign securities, 5 per cent.

About noon dark clouds enveloped the horizon; a gentle rain fell, but was soon followed by a violent thunder-storm, with hail and torrents of rain, which did great damage to the gardens, fields, houses, and bridges ; as most of the inhabitants of Ofen and Pesth were abroad and exposed to the fury of the elements, several of them perished. Melan choly accounts of these events continue to be received, for which reason we shall defer the particulars of the accidents that occurred till our next publication. Meunier was sent off to Havre at half-past five yes terday afternoon. He entered the yard of the Messageries Royales a quarter of an hour before, attended by a brigadier and a private of gendarmerie, who are to accompany him, and remain with him until he sails for New Orleans. The yard was crowded, but no particular precaution appears to have been taken to prevent escape or rescue. Meunier appears to be in much better health than at the time of his arrest and trial. This improvement is, no doubt, the consequence of the regimen of his prison both as to diet and cleanliness. On Sa turday he was conducted before the Prefect of Police, who said to him, " Meunier, you wished to assassinate the King; here are I,ooof. which he gives to assist you in your voyage." Boireau, the accomplice of Fieschi, whose sentence of twenty years' imprisonment has been commuted into banish ment, passed through Orleans on Thursday in the diligence for a seaport, where he is to be embarked for the United States. He was guarded by two gendarmes, who will remain with him until the vessel sails. Four hundred workmen are employed in the quarries at Nourmont, for the purpose of procuring the granite neces sary for building the new Houses of Parliament. —Jersity Argus. LITERATURE.

THE LAMBETH DINNER. TO THE EDITOR OP I'IIJ SUN. Sir,—l trust I and ttet trespassing in claiming the oppor tunity of making a passing comment on Lord NuArent".l letter, my reputation being quite as dear to me as Mr. D'Eyncourt's can be to him. Not that I think any observation requisite to set the matter in its true light. Lord Nugent's mintion and letter are clear and comprehensible enough. His Lordship is a good-natured man, and his chivalry does quite as much honour to his heart as to his head. But does his Lordship seriously think that any one will be lieve the report of Mr. D'Eyncourt's speech regarding " the Honourable—if he might so call him—Baronet," to be " er roneous," and without one instance of" error" being given, because HE who heard it not somewhat recklessly says so ; while all the Members of Parliament—Mr. Hawes, Mr. Shiel, Mr. T. Duncombe, Mr. Haines, Mr. E. L. Bulwer, &c., who did hear it, are silent, and were entrusted with no mission to Sir F. Burdett, and in the teeth of the declaration that the substantial accuracy of my report is confirmed by a short-hand writer ? To all the belief that can now be obtained that I had the audacity to put into Mr. D'Eyncourt's mouth " offensive" and " discreditable" words, anybody requiring it is welcome. And, to conclude, I also "strongly advise" that no further trouble may be taken or given—both sides having been heard, and both sides being, I think, pretty well understood. Yours, &c. The " ADVERTISER" REPORTER. May 30. [We are bound to give insertion to the above letter in the spirit of fair play ; and now that we hope the matter has terminated between the gentlemen who reported Mr. D'Eyncourt's speech and Mr. D'Eyncourt himself, we must in justice add that the former very leniently reported what was said upon the occasion, and that the latter has forgotten not only what he did say, but what was cheered, to an extent to which a parallel can scarcely be found. We do not blame Mr. D'Eyncourt either for using the expretsions attributed to him, or. for af terwards retracting them. His speech was one of the most eloquent and effective during the harmonious evening which the Lambeth Liberals enjoyed in celebrating the legal birth-day of the heiress presumptive to the throne of these realms ; but it will happen with every one who is deeply interested in results, either at elections or public mceting4 to express themselves more warmly than they would do upon any other occasion ; and it is highly honourable to the Right Hon. Member for Lambeth that he seized the first opportunity of disavowing language which he did not mean to use, but which, in the heat of the moment, fell from his lips.—En. Morning Advertiser.] • Madame Schroeder Devrient re-appears at Drury lane Theatre to-morrow in Fidelio, and to render the attrac tion complete Taglioni plays also in the ballet. Prince Armansperg dined at Prince Esterhazy's on Monday evening. The Noble Prince is purchasing a fine stud for his stables at his seat near Berlin, and will in a few days leave Mivart's Hotel for a tour of the West of England. The Choral Harmonic Society performed the ora torio of in Egypt last night at the Hanover-square rooms. The vocal band executed its task very creditably, and gave the great choruses of the work with power and much pre cision. The hail-stone chorus and the " But the waters over whelmed their enemies," were particularly fine. Miss Tipping, Mrs. G. Wood, and Messrs. Leffler, . Purday, and Turner were the chief solo singers of the evening. The room was well attended. During the last week the weather has, for the most part, been mild and genial. Yesterday morning was rather cloudy, with the wind blowing sharply from the east ; in the evening a heavy shower of rain fell, which was followed by a vivid flash of lightning, and a very loud peal of thunder.— Edinburgh Courant of Monday. Appointed that every preacher of God's Word here after shall wear black, grave, and comely apparel, beseeming men of their state and profession—James IV., 1609. This Act is still in force, and it has been almost universally obeyed. The colour of an ecclesiastic's coat regulated by Act of Parliament Mr. Green yesterday afternoon made his third ascent in this country with the " Vauxhall Nassau Balloon" since its memorable trip to the Continent. The weather was extremely fine, although some anxiety nes felt about five o'clock, at which time there was a very heavy shower of rain and the wind was blowing very strong : these unfavourable symptoms were soon dissipated, and a clear sun and fine atmosphere succeeded them. The Gardens were not so numerously attended as on the last occasion ; a fact easily accounted for by the difference in the charge for admission ; but the company was a very re spectable one. About half-past six, Mr. Green having given the signal that all was ready, the cords were loosened and the balloon slowly and steadily ascended, taking a direction to wards Essex. The inflation was not near so complete as on the last occasion, which much lessened the magnificent ap pearance of the present. The neighbourhood of the Gardens was, as is usual upon such occasions, occupied by a very nume rous body of spectators. The bridge had lots of carriages, equestrians, and pedestrians, but Milbank was the grand re sort of the economical, from whence the process of inflation can be distinctly seen, at which time the balloon presents a very singular appearance, as it is rolled about by every gust of wind. The descent took place at a few minutes before eight o'clock last evening, in a wheat field near Wormsley, in the county of Kent, a distance of forty miles from Vauxhall. FASHIONABLE VULGARITY.—The handkerchief has recently become one of the most expensive articles of the female wardrobe. A writer in a Parisian Journal says, "We have seen a handkerchief which cost 400 francs." On a re cent marriage in this country the bride is said to have received a present of a dozen handkerchiefs, which cost the giver 1001. —Hull Observer.

THE EXPORTATION OF THE PRECIOUS METALS. —The exportation of gold and silver coin and bullion from the port of London to Foreign ports during the past week, ending the 30th instant, is as follows :—Gold bars to Rotterdam, 3,280 oz. ; gold coin to Rotterdam, 180 oz. ; to the Cape, 2,305 oz. ; to Madras, 5,000 oz. Silver coin to Demerara, 124,084 oz. ; to Rotterdam, 21,000 oz. ; to the Cape, 2,752 oz. ; to Calais, 88,000 oz. ; silver in bars to Calais, 12,000 oz. A second sight of the Hippodrome confirms all our first impressions of it. It is the most delightful spot in the neighbourhood of London, and the best race-course for many miles round. The first meeting will take place on Saturday next, when from the strong entry of horses, and the tried mettle of many of them, very superior sport may be expected. SIR WALTER SCOTT'S SABBATH.-011 Sunday he never rode, at least not until his growing infirmity made his pony almost necessary to him ; for it was his principle that all domestic animals have a full right to their Sabbath of rest ; but after he had read the Church Service he usually walked Kith his whole family, dogs included, to some favourite spot at a considerable distance from the house—most frequently the ruined tower of Elibank, and there dined with them in the open air on a basket of cold provisions, mixing his wine with the water of the brook beside which they all were grouped around him on the turf; and here, or at home, if the weather kept them from their ramble, his*Sunday talk was just such a series of biblical lessons as that which we have preserved for the per manent use of rising generations, in his " Tales of a Grand father," on the early history of Scotland. —Loathe; es Life, Vol. 11. LEPROSY.—Thete is, near the walls of Morocco, about the north-west point, a village called the Village of Lepers. I had a curiosity to witness it. I mounted my horse, and took two horse guards with me and my own servant. We rode through the lepers' town. The inhabitants collected at the doors of their habitations, but did not approach us : they, for the most part, showed no external disfiguration, but were generally sallow. Some of the young women were very hand some; they have, however, a paucity of eyebrow, which, it must be allowed, is somewhat incompatible with beauty ; some few had no eyebrows at all, which completely destroyed the effect of their dark animated eyes. They arc obliged to wear a large straw hat, with a brim about nine inches wide : this is their badge of separation, a token of division between the clean and the unclean, which, when seen from the country or on the road, prevents any one from having personal contact with them. They are allowed to beg, and accordingly are seen by the sides of the roads, with their straw-hat badge, and a wooden bowl before them to receive the charity of passen gers, exclaiming, " Bestow on me the charity of God l" " All belongs to God !" reminding the passenger that he is a stew ard, and accountable fur the appropriation of his property ; that be derives his property from the bounty and favour of God. When anyone gives them money, they pronounce a blessing on him, as, " May God increase your good," &c. The province of Haha abounds in lepers, and it is said that the Arganic oil, which is much used in food throughout this picturesque province, promotes this loathsome disease._ Jackson s Morocco.
