" The KING has passed a good night, and is in some respects more comfortable this morning. (Signed) " WM. FRED. CHAMBERS. " DAVID DAVIES." In addition to what we stated yesterday from private sources with regard to the KING'S health, we regret to learn that so debilitated is his MAJESTY'S consti- tution, that nature would be exhausted but for the aid of stimulants. The principal nourishment his MAJESTY receives is from the liqueur Curacoa, which is frequently administered to the KING in water. (From the Morning Papers.) We lament to say that the state of his Majesty is such as occasions, from day to day, an abatement of the hope .which was entertained of his recovery. This hope, to which the King's family and Court have clung with a tenacity proportioned to the warmth of their affection, has become Very feeble, if it can any longer be said to exist at all. We .derive this melancholy intimation from an authority by 'which it seems to us impossible that we should be misled. The prayers appointed by the Church for the visitation of the sick were read in the Royal chamber yesterday after moon, by the Rev. Lord Augustus Fitzclarence, on his Majesty's request. The above statements may seem to be at variance with the language of the official bulletins. But for this discre- Pancy, to whatever extent it may exist, we feel that we are Slot to blame. The contradiction is, however, rather ap parent than real. It would, indeed, be difficult to contra diet persons who are so extremely cautious that they say 'nothing. There is in the bulletin of yesterday, for instance, vagueness to which, if the subject were of less solemn im portance, we should be disposed to apply the term mystifi .cation. We can appreciate the feelings of delicacy and T!.?nder ness to w hi c h th i s reserve i s no dou b t to b e ascr ib e d . But we respectfully suggest to the eminent professional Persons whose signatures appear affixed to the bulletins t hat, as the latter are issued for .the information of the Public, they ought, if possible, to be couched in such terms 48 may communicate some information.—Morning Post. WINDSOR, HALF-PAST ELEVEN O'CLOCK, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. The King still lingers in the most distressing state. The hope of his recovery becomes less and less every hour. Is family are all around him. The Earl of Errol arrived at ti o'clock this morning, and the Duke of Cumberland 7 41.1 Y in the forenoon. The Earl of Munster, Lord Falk and, Lord De Lisle, and all the ladies of the family are t 9l co nstant attendance. The Queen scarce l y ever l eaves the Chamber o f th e roya l p a ti en t. We believe it is a fact that her Majesty has not retired to rest for the last twelve nights, although she is herself in such an ill state of health that her medical attendants anticipate the most serious consequences. The " of bulletin" of this morning stated that the King has passed a tranquil night, and that he appeared to be refreshed thereby. But the fact is that the whole household was up all night, and that his Majesty was not expect ed to live until the morning. Why such official bulletins are issued it is impossible to say—unless it is intende d to bring official bulletins into universal contempt. They ire-e much upon a par with the last Gazette, which announced that her Majesty would hold a Drawing-room to-morrow, although the concoctors of that Gazelle well knew that the King was dying, and that the Queen was dead h alf with fatigue and grief. Her Majesty, we know, 13 quite overcome with fatigue and anxiety. This is sufficiently melancholy ; but we have still more Melancholy intelligence. The Duchess of Gloucester is extremely , unwell, and in a state of great excitement. Iler Royal .Highness has been so at intervals ever since her severe illness, at Brighton, last winter ; and this it is which prevents the Princess Augusta from being here, as her Royal Highness considers it necessary to remain in town in order to be near her royal sister. Sir H enry H a lf or d returne d to the cast l e a b ou t t wo hours ago. Dr. Chambers has remained there all the day, Sir Matthew Tierney and Dr. Davies.—Morning $c raid T. 'here was a tag-rag and bob-tail gathering of Tot ies last night, in a large booth fitted up for the occasion, 11 1 the yard of Mr. CU B ITT'S plaster of Paris manu factory, G ray ' s- i nn-road. T he peop l e w h o met i n this red canvas concern are, with some inconsiderable exceptions, the same squad that assembled last year in , °ll e of the Th eatres , un d er t h e titl e o f the " City of I...iondon Conservative Association," and under the Pl'esidet iey of one of the HOA RES of Fleet-street. It in I 'Y see m an o dd c i rcumstance to t h e un i n iti a ted, th at o an A ssoc i at i on w i t h suc h a name s h o uld t (4 hold it s meet i ngs w i t hi n t h e City, w hose poli iral Opinions it pretends to represent ; but there dohubtless, a good reason for this departure r° , lll all preced en t. This deviation from the general rule such cases is owing to the fear—we do not rid fault w i t h the feel i ng—t h at t h e unpopu l ar ity o f t h e as sociati on i n t h e place o f i ts bi rt h, an d th e scene o f it s o ) erations, might elicit those testimonies of public feel lp g , of which eggs and cabbages, in a state of advanced iturity, are, according to established usage, the appro rate typ es an d emblems. These exponents o f po li t i ca l timent are not pleasant things, and we quite agree with - members of this worthy collection of antediluvian 11 7 1 11) er the propriety of avoiding them by all lawful C 4 .4 1 1,10 . kA . rO • , 4421, 't methods. Willy the favoured individualF, who are en dowed with the high and responsible office of fixing the " local habitation" of the Society have migrated out of the theatrical regions to Gray's Inn-lane, has been accounted for in this way. Last year the ladies were admitted to the boxes of the theatre to witness the performance, and this imposed such a restraint upon the greater part of the company—so checked freedom of speech and action—that the parties aggrieved sent a deputation of their number to the managers to ex postulate, and to declare that unless the " woman kind" were excluded, they would not come to the feed. Upon this the plan of a booth, to be chris tened " Pavilion," was suggested ; and this pavilion was so constructed, that none could be present but those who sat at table. It is not necessary to make much comment upon the proceedings of this "festival," as it is ludicrously nick-named by the Morning Papers. What it was in reality we cannot better describe than by using the words of 'Mr. Vice-Presiilent HOARE, who, in return ing thanks for the honot?r of having his health drunk, asked the following very pertinent question—" After all, Gentlemen, what are we come here for ? Is it to have a Toryfeed ?" To which latter question he very candidly answers " YES ; but it is to be a feed, and something more." That is to say, it is to be a feed and a swill—a regular guzzle ; and a regular guzzle to be sure it was. So uproarious at last did the" Associates" become that scarcely a word of the speeches could be heard, and an attempt—the only sign of sense mani fested during the evening—was made to turn the re porters, neck and crop, out of the room. All the men who are generally present to give some kind of eclat to Tory meetings, absented themselves — we believe through sheer shamefrom this scene of brawling vulgarity. They were not detained by any Parliamentary duties, but they could not consent to mix themselves up with so trumpery a concern. Miserable indeed, in point both of talent and principle, must that Assembly be in which a re negade like Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR takes the most prominent station. This solemn blockhead, who has a hereditary right to make a fool of him self, uttered a quantity of ineffable nonsense about the mountains and glens of Scotland, and the ardent attachment which the Scotch Presbyterians entertain for the Church of England ! This comes well from a man who glories in his being a Presbyteriati, and who knows, or ought to know, that by the very framers of that Confession of Faith which is the standard of his reli gious belief, the Church of England was held in nearly as much abhorrence as the Church of Rome, and who ought also to remember that his forefathers were hunted like wild beasts over mountains and glens by the agents and emissaries of that Church which he so eulogises—that for fifty long years the people of Scotland endured all manner of cala mities—were persecuted often to death of the most most cruel description—because they could not conscientiously adopt the faith of the Church of England. Yet this gentleman would have the public believe, that he walks in the footsteps of the ancient fathers of the Church of Scotland ! A Petition from the Clergy of London was pre sented to the House of Lords on Tuesday, praying that the Petitioners might be heard by Counsel against the Cemetery Bills now in progress through Parlia ment. The Petition was very properly entrusted to the Bishop of LONDON, who executed the task in his usual pious and devout manner, and endeavoured to impress on their Lordships, that the great conside ration which weighed with him and the Clergy were of a moral and religious nature, and chiefly the im proper and promiscuous interment of the dead. " Their Lordships all knew," continued the Right Rev. Pre late, " from melancholy experience what controul was exercised over the minds of survivors, when friends or relatives were consigned to the tomb amid the solem nities of our holy religion. It became a word of friendship and regard with surviving friends, and that bond was effectu ally severed by burying the dead in Cemeteries." Nothing, perhaps, could exceed this solemn mockery, except the sequel. One would suppose from the exordium that some great calamity was to be produced—that all regard to religion was to be cast off, and the bonds of friendship destroyed—and that nothing could bring about such an awful state of things but some horrible acts of sacrilege like those committed by the French Government during the worst days of the Revolution—such as the abrogation of the Christian religion, or the expulsion or murder of its servants. The religious part of the community, how ever, will set their minds at rest on that subject when they know that it is money—the root of all evil, that gives rise to these forebodings and hypocritical lamen tations. It is the fees—the filthy lucre, which has been so much sought after by Churchmen in all ages, and which has been so injurious to the in terests of pure religion.. The London Clergy are afraid that if public Cemeteries become general, and the intolerable nuisance of burying the dead in the midst of a crowded city be done away, they shall not be able to levy single, double, nay, treble fines, on all those who have the misfortune to lose their relatives and friends—they shall not be able to charge a large sum for a small spot in a church-yard—another sum for reading the burial service —another for leave to erect a tablet in the church—and an additional sum when the interment takes place out of the parish in which the individual died. These are the great causes of re gret ; but the public are not to be deceived by priest craft now as in former times. They are becoming every day more practical in their conduct. The speech of the Bishop of LONDON might have been very appropriate, if it had been spoken by a Jesuit to untutored or superstitious savages ; or if it had been addressed by an Archbishop of CANTERBURY to the ignorant multitude in the worst times of popery ; but in these days it is quite out of place, and notwithstanding all this cant and interested opposition, one of the great nuisances of a crowded city will in a few years be removed. The Paris Journals of Tuesday have all been re ceived. Their contents are politically uninteresting. In the course of the afternoon of that day the follow ing intelligence from Spain was communicated by tele graph to the French Government : " FORT LE BAINS, THE 1 9 TIf. " NARBONNE, TIIE 13T11. " On the 6th the Navarrese were at Estaparran (three leagues from Tamarite), having left a number of wounded at Ag-er. A Christino division was at Albeda (one league from Tumarite). Seu d'Urgel was not menaced so late as the 10th. " Accounts from Valencia state that Cabrera had passed the Ebro at Caspe with from 5,000 to 6,000 men. Ser rada was at San Mateo, and Fraile in the environs of Va lencia." The passage of the Ebro by CABRERA dissipates whatever remaining confidence we had in the military capacity of the QUEEN'S Generals. The junction of the forces under the command of this blood thirsty chieftain and the main army of the Pre tender, will put the Carlists in a condition to me nace the capital of a kingdom defended by such apologies for Generals as ORA A, Baron de MEER, and ESPARTERO. The first -named of these worthies has addressed a flaming dispatch to the Minister of War, giving an account of his valorous non-intercep tion of the Carlist army during the passage of the Cinca, on the sth inst. As this document is one of the most precious specimens of undiluted Bobadilism that has appeared since the publication of the famous CORDOVA'S Arlaban dispatch, we cannot refine it. insertion in our columns : "DISPATCH OF GENERAL ORAA TO THE SPANISH MINISTER; DATED MONZON, THE STH. " I stated to your Excellency before, my resolution not to attack the enemy in Barbastro, but to rest prepared to fall upon him at the first opportunity. In order to this, I desired the Baron de Mcer to station himself with his force at Castejor de la Puente, at the distance of an hour and a half's march of the enemy. To-day he was to have taken this position ; when this morning we both heard that the enemy had begun to pass the river on the previous night at Estadella and Estrada. The Baron de Meer marched in consequence upon Fonz, to oppose their pass ing ; whilst I hastened with the utmost speed, on the other side of the river, to the places of their passage, in the hope of intercepting the enemy. Nor were we alto. gaiter unsuccessful—thanks to the celerity of the soldiers in one of the hottest days known, time not being even taken to satisfy hunger. We attacked the rear-guard of the enemy as it stood on the brink of the river, and the result, which I shall afterwards mention more in detail, was the loss on the part of the enemy of the 4th battalion of Cas tile, all of whom that escaped drowning or our fire remained prisoners, with their commander. The troops behaved well, especially three grenadiers of Almanza, who at great risk saved the lives of many of the factious who were drowning. The barks having been found unserviceable, I was obliged to retrograde in order to pass the river Ciuca at Monzon. From hence we set off immediately in pursuit of the enemy, which has taken the direction of Grans. The Baron de Meer, not having been able to arrive in time at the passage of the river by the rebels, has retro garded to Lerida, in order to cover the places and district committed to his care." The QUEEN'S soldiers are as difficult to please in weather as the flogged recruit in the application of the stripes inflicted by the Irish drummer. The day of an engagement is always unfavourable for the QUEEN'S Generals. The frost ruined CORDOVA—the snow impeded every movement of ESPARTERO—and now we have the sun scorching the laurels of the Gallant ORAA. Of course the Carlists had no such ob stacle as a hot day to contend with, and even if they had they could shelter themselves under their baggage ; whereas the valiant Christinos, led on by the redoubted ORAA, had only their muskets to protect them. Nevertheless, they did arrive at the Cinca— but not before the main body of the Carlists were safely landed on the other side of the river. This was a bitter disappointment, but the gal lant ORAA had sufficient fortitude to bear up against it. After assisting such of the Carlists as his appearance had frightened into the river at the risk of being drowned, he marched back again at the head of his victorious division to inform the Govern ment of his successes. Baron DE MEER proved him self on this occasion worthy of his invincible colleague in arms. He, too, would have annihilated the Carlists, had they only had the politeness to wait for him. But without regard to the heat of the weather, the rascals were off before he'could come up with them. He threatens however, to catch them when the weather is more fa vourable ; and if he do, we promise them rough treat ment should they happen to be unprovided with arms. The Baron has long been suspected of a secret attach ment to Carlist principles ; but having pledged himself to destroy the Pretender root and branch, we, of course, cannot think of accusing him of a design to betray the Constitutional cause. We may, how ever, be permitted to express our belief, that were Don CARLOS to ascend the Spanish throne before the expiration of a week, the Baron DE MEER would decline the acceptance of a free pardon, if accompanied with the offer of a lucrative employment under the new Sovereign. We leave to the QUEEN'S Govern ment the task of inquiring whether or not such offi cers—and there are many such at the head of the Constitutional Army—ought to be employed in the suppression of a rebellion organized and supported by the abettors of despotism throughout Europe. The following extracts from the journals include whatever else is interesting in the French Papers of Tuesday : It has been announced by mistake that Lord Granville was present at the fete at Versailles on Saturday. His Excellency was prevented by indisposition, but the Countess Granville, Lord Leveson, Mr. Aston, and Mr. Heneage were present. Among the dishes furnished for the monstre dinner of Saturday, were 4,043 fowls, 300 chickens, 100 pheasants, 60 sheep, and 3,0001 b. of salt-water fish. The quantity of wine is stated at 8,000 bottles. The consumption of sugar is estimated at 2,00010. The early vegetables, fruits, and flowers, ware brought from a great distance. It is said that the Civil List paid more than 6,000 f. for the octroi duty a t Versailles on the different objects for the banquet. It would excite astonishment could the bill of fare be dissected ar ticle by article. On Sunday there was a dinner of 200 covers at Trianon. The galleries were, it is said, illuminated by 1,500 lamps, 700 candelabra, and 1,200 grand branches, each of 15 w ax _ lights. The Bishop of Meaux, who pronounced the nu , ;al benediction on the Duke and Duchess of Orleans, has been promoted to the rank of Commander of the Legion of Honour. The Eclaireur of Toulon gives the following as the main points of the treaty between General Bugeaud and Abd-el- Kader :—" The Emir acknowledges the power of France in Africa. He cedes to her the province of Oran, with the towns of Oran, Mostaganem, and Arzeu, with an extent of territory of upwards of ten leagues round, which will afford the French the means of establishing the Arab allies with advan tage. Coleah and Mcdeah, although within the above limits, are reserved by the Emir. The establishment on the Tafna, which is already dismantled and evacuated, is to be given up. The French are to remain in possession of Tlemecen until the treaty is ratified. Algiers and the whole of the plain of Metidja are acknowledged as French possessions. Bona is within the domain of the Bey of Constantine. More over, Abd-el-Kader is to pay to France 30,000 f., or 15,000 sacks of barley, an equal quantity of wheat, and 5,000 oxen ; this is to be done by three instalments, the first of which is to be on the Ist of September. Abd-el-Kader further engages not to carry on or permit any commerce except through the ports in the hands of the French. As hostages for the due observance of the treaty, the Emir leaves in the hands of the French his uncle and two of his nephews." Colonel Conrad, who has just met his death in Spain, was among the most distinguished of the French army. He was born at Strasburg. Flaying entered the service in 1806, he was in all the campaigns of Germany and Spain, and re ceived the Cross of Honour from the Emperor's own hand on the field of Leipsic. He was engaged in the capture of Algiers, and afterwards went to Spain as Lieutenant-Colonel of the Foreign Legion ; his personal qualities alone kept that body together, dissatisfied as it was with being so long left without pay, and in a state of complete destitu tion. The following is the last letter that brave officer sent to France. It is dated the 2d instant, from Pampe luna, and addressed to his lady in Paris :—" I have al ready reduced the Legion to two battalions and two squa drons, and am on the point of again compressing it into a single battalion, and two small squadrons. I shall then return into France to take the waters, of which I have great need. What I have suffered during the last nine months is indescribable, and for which nothing can ever compensate me. I have done my duty with resolution and loyalty, and at least possess the consciousness that I sun without re proach. I shall set out in an hour for Puente la lteyna. A little more good fortune will set me clear of this wasps'-nest ; but I have never been in so much danger as that we are about to incur if we meet the enemy ; for my officers and men are both disheartened and dissatisfied by want of money and the privations they have endured. I have greater cause than ever to risk my person, in order to sustain my own and the Legion's reputation, and that of the French army, which it represents here." This gallant soldier has left his widow, with two sons and a daughter, unprovided for. FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, JUNG 13. Five per Cents., 108 f. 65c. 70c. 75c. Four per Cents., 99f. 50c.

The new Constitution, as revised by the Cortes, has been accepted and signed by the QUEEN REGENT. It was presented to her MAJESTY by Don PEDRO OcuNA, Deputy for Jaen, accompanied with the following Address, to which she returned a brief but gracious Answer :- 66 MADANIE- . --Charged by the Cortes with the honour able and agreeable mission .of conveying to your Majesty a respectful messag e w ith the po li t i ca l Constitution of the Spanish Monarchy, and to solicit your ratification thereto, as Regent of the kingdom, in the name of your august daughter, our legitimate Queen, Donna Isabella 11., we have the incomparable satisfaction to afford to Europe this new proof of the ardent sympathies of Spaniards for liberty and glory, and of their sincere affection and eternal devotedness to their excellent Monarchs. The deputies of the nation, in unison with public opinion, keeping pace with the progress cf political science, and guided by ex perience have used their utmost effarts to consolidate the Throne for the welfare of the State without infringing the rights of the People. It now becomes the province of your Majesty to affix an indestructible seal to this pledge of love, loyalty, union, and of peace, which will ensure the future prosperity of your faithful subjects. In congratula ting ourselves upon this solemn occasicn, permit us to. ex press the flattering hope that we shall •owe to your magna nimous and noble mind all that can contribute to the happi ness of the kingdom. We have also another duty to per form in the presence of your - Majesty—namely, to request your sanction to a special law upon Courts of Justice.' The Madrid Gazette contains a favourable account .of the state of public feeling in the southern provinces of Spain. From Saragossa and Barcelona the advices were rather better than was anticipated from previous events' in the capital. Brussels and German Papers have been received. The former contain no news. The latter state that, on the authority of a letter from Frankfort, 18,000 marks of gold bars have been sent to England, on account of one great house. The Emperor of RUSSIA will begin the tour of his dominions in August. BELGIAN 1. UNDS—BnwssEi,i, JUNE 13. Actual Debt, 24 per Cent.

On Saturday night a butcher, in High-street, Marylebone, having sacrificed pretty freely at the shrine of Bacchus, set out on his serpentine travels ; and after many extra bumpers, succeeded in reaching home, and immediately went up stairs to bed. Having stripped off his clothes, and being, like John Gilpin, in a merry mood, he began to can vass the merits of each garment, when his inexpressibles, after a long trial, were found to be unfit for service, and condemned to be thrown out of window into the street. The sentence was immediately put into execution ; when, shortly after wards, he happened to recollect that in the fob of the afore said inexpressible, was a valuable silver hunting watch, capped and jewelled, with appendages, and worth altogether six gui neas. Having discovered his mistake, he ran down stairs to look for his cast-off garment, but in vain, it having been car ried off by some lucky passer-by. He has since offered a handsome reward for the recovery of the watch, but up to the present time it has not been restored to him. The quantity of flax and hemp imported during the past part of the present year, as compared with the quantity imported during the corresponding period of last year, affords a strong illustration of the unfavourable change our trade has undergone. Prior to the Ist of June this year, the imports were—flax, 331 tons; flax cedilla, 227 tons 17 cwt. ; hemp codilla, 13 toe: 9 cwt. ; total, 573 tons 3 cwt. Prior to the Ist of June last year they were—flax, 7,402 tons 11 cwt. ; hemp, 328 tons 9 cwt. ; flax codilla, 681 tons 4 cwt. ; hemp codilla, 393 tons 15 cwt. ; total, 8,805 tons 16 cwt. Four flax-loaded vessels have arrived during the present week. Their cargoes will probably amount to between 500 and 600 tons. One of them should have arrived in the end of last year, having left Riga in November, but was detained in the Baltic in consequence of having got ashore. In the first ten days of June, 1836, about fifty vessels arrived with flax and hemp, their united cargoes amounting to about 5,000 tons. D undee Courier. Thursdays woman, named Eliza Green, was brought up at the New Bailey, charged with having disposed of her child, an infant in arms, to a man for a sovereign. It appeared thaton Wednesday afternoon, as a man, named O'Hara, was drinking in a public house, the prisoner went in, when the man, who was intoxicated, asked her what she would take for the,child, when she replied " a sovereign." He immediately gave her one, and took the child. In the meantime she went away; but the man, finding the infant become bu r d e n so m e t o him, went after and finally encountered her in Shudehill, where he seized her, and conveyed her to the police-office. A girl, who was present in the public-house, corroborated the man's statement with regard to the child. When the woman was taken, she had spent about Bs. of the money. She said that a state of destitution had caused her. to act as she had done. Haslam, the officer, at the vagrant office, said that he had seen her frequently begging about the streets, and the magistrate committed her to gaol for one month, for an act of vagrancy. —Mir n chester Guardian. - - :MURDER.—_I woman who has been for some time an inmate of the Yarmouth workhouse has confessed to the Rev. Mr. Armstrong that she murdered a boy, six years old, the son of Mr. S. Wolf, who was found drowned in a cistern about four years ago. Her statement was that the child was troublesome to her when at work, and that she pushed him into the cistern and covered the lid over him in a fit of pas sion. The woman has been for some time in a precarious state of health, and still remains so ; her medical attendants have not therefore thought it right that her deposition should be formally taken, but we are enabled to state that she now positively denies having committed the crime, and says " she loved the child too well to do him any harm."--Norfolk Chronicle. One Sunday, when the Rev. Sir H. Moncrieff was minister of Blackford, the precentor came to church with the back part of his large curled wig turned to the fore part of his head. The minister gave out the 71st Psalm to be sung, beginning at the 7th verse. When the precentor stood up to sing the first line, which runs, "to many I a wonder am," the people could not keep from looking and laughing at him. Sir Henry observing the point to which the people's eyes were directed, looked over the pulpit, and seeing the mis take, gravely said, " and so, Sir, you are a wonder to many ; turn the right side of your wigforemost."—Berwick Advertiser. 'e are sorry to learn that the pressure upon manu factures and commerce has at last reached our country. Within a short time several extensive failures in the " How of Fife," along the Leven, as well as in the towns upon the coast, have taken place. We suspect that the crisis of distress is not over, and it will become every one so engaged to work warily for some considerable time to come. Over speculation and over trading are the root of the evil, and till the balance between the production and consumption, the demand and sup ply, is restored, the country will not regain its healthy state. -- I Vesliire Journal. The parks, on Sunday, presented, as far as pedes trians were concerned, an animated scene, and all the appear ance of summer having arrived at last, though a harsh wind and occasional showers scarcely confirmed the hope; of fashionable equipages there was, however, a dearth which would have gratified the heart of Sir Andrew Agnew. Considerable amusement was caused in Regent . street yesterday, by the following laughable affair :—Two gentlemen were walking leisurely along the street, when sud denly, One of them exclaiming " There's that rascal, G.," in stantly darted across the street towards a dashingly-dressed exquisite on the opposite side of the way, who, perceiving the approa c hi ng party, commence d a h asty retreat, closely pursued by the other. The street was thronged with carriages at the time, and th e pursue d party en d eavoure d t o avo id hi s pursuers by dodgi ng amongst the different vehicles and un d er t h e horses, t o t h e no sma ll amusemen t o f t h e spectators, and the carriage folks in particular, several of whom stood up on the seats after the fashion of the " Derby day." At last the dandy issued from under a horse's belly minus his hat and a la spencer, his skirts remaining in the hands of his pursuer; and after capsizing several persons in his career, he made good his re treat amidst the shouts of the spectators. A carrier pi g eon, supposed to have been driven out of its cour se by the strong easterly wind which has lately pre vailed, was caught on Thursday at Newhaven, having attached to one of its legs a paper, on which were inscribed the follow ing ciphers : T X A—A Ll 3 NXNC O—C LA 0 C UCLA L L—C OON A OC O.

His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole morning with the further arguments in this part-heard case. The object of the application was for the purpose of obtaining an injunction to restrain the defendant from receiving the tolls of certain tin mines in Cornwall, and for a receiver of those mines. At the conclusion of the arguments, his Honour gave judgment, dismissing the application without costs. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) HAY V. SIR A. NI g I.EAN AND FORTY. This action was brought for the purpose of recovering-da mages for assault and false imprisonment. Mr. PLATT and Mr. THOMAS appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. THESSIGER for the defendant Forty, and Mr. ERLE for Sir A. M'Lean. From the statement of the plaintiff's Counsel it appeared that the plaintiff had been lady's-maid to Lady NliLean for some time. In January last the family were residing in th- Albion Hotel, Hastings. On the 31st of January the plaintiff was about to leave the service, and on proceeding up stairs to ber bed-room she found her door locked, and the defen dant Forty, gibe was the landlord, said he would not open it to allow her to take any of her things away, until she had paid his demand of 41. odd, which he claimed for her board, she having been in service on board wages. She denied her responsibility, and insisted upon her right to her property; upon which a constable was sent for, who took her into custody, and conveyed her to the office of the Magistrate's clerk. An investigation there took place, when it was found that she owed no more than 21. 2s. For that wrongous imprisonment she now sought to recover such damages as a Jury would give her. The constable was the first witness called, and he most dis tinctly swore that the plaintiff never was in custody before. He was sent for to the Albion, and told to take charge of the plaintiff in order to prevent her breaking open the bed-room door. She was very violent, and was swearing when Sir A. *Lean came in and said she was always =king a noise in his family, and called upon the constable to take her away. He told her she must go down stairs ; upon which she bor rowed a bonnet and shawl, and said she would go and get justice. The constable thinking she was going to make a charge, said he would go and see what was to be the end of it, and he followed her to the Magistrates' clerk's office ; but neither there nor at any other time was she in his custody. The defendant's Counsel addressed the Jury, who inter rupted tha Learned Judge in his summing up, and returned a verdict for the defendants. In the course of the cause, Mr. PLATT having an adverse witness to deal with, was pressing a question very hard, which his Lordship thought was not evidence. Upon the Learned Gentleman putting it in another set of words, though the same in substance, the LORD CIIIEF BARON very warmly said, " You must make a mistake. You must take me for a Com mittee-man of the House of Commons." LLOYD'S SIIIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, JUNE 14 —Wind S. S.

A Philadelphia Paper of the 20th May has been received, from which we copy the following : " The complexion► of the news which we publish this morn ing from Europe we are sorry to say is dark. The pressure was rapidly approaching a crisis in England; indeed nothing but an anxious hope of large remittances from this country seems to sustain the American houses in London and Liver pool. We look with great anxiety for further news from England. . . We heard yesterday that a person entered a shop to get a small glass, and proffered a fifty cent. " shin-plaster" in payment. It could not be changed—the same operation was repeated at six different houses, and ho now boasts that he has bad six glasses and his money in hand. This, he said, was the best currency he ever saw ! " There arrived at New York on Thursday, one ship, eleven brigs, and two schooners, from various parts in Europe, laden with grain, principally wheat. Several papers in the Interior speak very encouragingly of the prospect of the wheat fields in their vicinity." Rio Janeiro Papers received to the 12th April, bring the Exchange 31+ ; Stocks 881 89. These papers do not bring any political news of consequence. We have received Jamaica Papers to May 12, from which we extract the following : " The Colonial Bank has not brought one solitary dollar into the country ; and though it has amused us with promises of furnishing, at all times, an abundant supply of dollars, yet it has not announced the importation of a single dollar." The Ja maica Local Rank had commenced discounting bills and accep. tances at the rate of 5 per cent.

The small pox also prevailed at Demerara, Trinidad, Tobago, Grenada, Martinico, Dominica, Nevis, and St. Kitts. The accounts received from Manchester this morning : state that the last advice& received from the United States havehad an injurious effect on the Market on Tuesday ; for although the best informed parties both there and at Liverpool appear to think that the suspension of specie payments in the United States will prove favourable to the English creditors, great doubts are entertained what effect it will have on American produce. There is still a moderate demand in the ordinary shipping numbers of yarn ; but in good, owing to the state of the King's health, the demand is very limited.

Yesterday an inquest was held at the Charing. cross Hospital on the body of John Daffy, aged 42, silo committed suicide by taking a large quantity of oxalic acid. The evi dence went clearly to show that the destitute state of the de. ceased's family had induced him to destroy himself, and the Jury, without hesitation, gave a verdict to that effect. As William Mandy, gamekeeper to Hu ,h John ston, Esq., of Danson House, near Bcixley, Kent, was passing through a hedge at Halfway -street, in the above parish, on Tuesday afternoon, having his gum in a careless position, it is supposed the trigger was caught by a twig in the hedge, which caused the gun to go off; the contents lodged i❑ the abdomen of the unfortunate man, who fell and instantly expired. The deceased was very much respected in the neighbourhood. On Sunday next he would have attained his twenty-first year, and that day was fixed for his being married to a respectable young woman residing in the place. On the 30th of last month died, in the parish of Dyrham and Hinton, Thomas Chandler and Mary, his wife, bath aged eighty-two years. They had been married fifty six years—were both born in the same year—both died on the same day—and were buried together in the church-yard of the above parish.—Bath Guardian. On the 31st. the inhabitants of Waldkircb, in the canton of St. Gall, Switzerland, had accompanied to her last abode a woman of the district, who was supposed to be dead. The interment being ended, the clergyman was preparing to return home, when he heard groans proceeding from the grave. He immediately called the grave-diggers, and caused the coffin to be taken up and opened. Unfortunately, it was too late—the ill-fated woman had c,‘ased to exist. In her despair she had turned round on her face, and had torn off all her nails. _ ------- The preserved olives, which are so touch admired as a dessert, are the green unripe fruit, deprived of part of their bitterness by soaking them in water and then preserved in an aromatised solution of salt.

A vile outrage, just discovered in Cork, has caused much astonishment, and excited the utmost horror. A number of holes, bored with an auger, were discovered to have been perforated in the Waterloo and Lee steamers, while lying at the quay, on Monday or Tuesday night. Had the vessels proceeded to sea before the discovery was made, and had they been overtaken by the gales of Thursday and Friday, there is no knowing how many lives might have been lost. These fine vessels had undergone a thorough repair only a short time since. The tile wretches who perpetrated this horrid deed are sup posed to be well acquainted with the use of shipwright's tools. This, it is now said, is part of the riband or combina tion system. On S'aturday evening a hawking fisherman, well known in Romford as " Suffolk Jemmy," nearly forfeited his life by an act of fally committed while in a state of intoxica tion. A man was exhibiting snakes and adders in that town, when a question arose as to whether one of these reptiles was an adder, and Inowiiig that an adder would attack anything red, the fistn.rman put out his torgue to decide the dispute. The adder instantly bit him under the tongu. The poor fellow has since been in a dreadful state : his body was ama zingly swollen, his tongue protruded from his mouth, and the medicine administered - to him seas obliged to be forced do wn his throat with a syringe.
