rolice, charged on suspicion of being connected or ac quainted with the circumstances of the murder of Eliza Davis, in Frederick -street, II am pstend-rwa In answer to questions put to him he stated that he was Tcquainted with a man named Sanderson, who lived in the house of a Mr. Davis. He first heard of that t;•Attler at about half-past nine o'clock on the morning - On which it was 'committed, when an old woman, wino lived in the same louse with him and his mother, came to them, and ac-• quainted them with the circumstance. He direttly went to the King's Arms public-house, which he bad before been in the habit of using, and he then saw the deceased lying on the stairs with her throat cut. He went and fetched Sanderson, and they played at skittles together all dal' in the ground attached to the house. Sir F. ROE asked the defendant whether die did not g i vo a different account of the matter to Sanderson ? The de fendant had not. He admitted, however, that be had said • that he saw a lemon, a glass of ale. and h knife oa the bar, and that he had heard it stated that the deceased's throat was cut while she was stooping to pick up the lemon ; but he declared that this had been communicated to hint in the crowd, and that he did not assert it as of his own knowledge, Sir F. ROE inquired of Sanderson, who was iu the room, what the defendant had told him ? SAnclerson that the prisoner had come to him on the morning- of the murder, and had said that he went to Mr. ‘Vatley's house with an acquaintance to play skittles, and the latter went into the bar while he remained in the yard. his compa nion called for some beer, and having been served with it asked for a lemon. The lemon was placed on the bar, but he purposely threw it down, and while the deceased stooped to pick it up he seized her and cut her throat. The reason given by the man for his doing this was that girl had been in the habit of giving him short measure. Sir F. ROE inquired of the defendant what answer he could make to this ? The defendant declared that what he had told Sanderson he had heard in the crowd, and he denied that he was acquainted with the murderer of the woman, who was besides described as a stranger. Sir F. ROE declared that, at present, there appeared to be no ground for supposing the defendant to ha implicated in the transaction in the manner suggested. It would ap pear that anything he had said had been put forth either in idle boast, or had been collected from the crowd. The prisoner was remanded until Tuesday on this second charge, and d'aections were given that any fresh evidence that could be collected touching the other matter should be obtained, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Brabazon Park, May :28, 1837. Sir,—With a most perfect indifference as to the observa tions of the Morning Chronicle, may I beg you will give this letter insertion, to say, that nothing but the most urgent and pressing necessity could have caused my absence on the late division. Had 1 been present I should have voted in favour of the Church-rate Bill ; and I have every reason to think, from a communication I have had with Member of the Opposition, that I have had an ctcicnt pair. As to the allusion that I was engaged in raising up an opposition to the proposed Tithe Bill, I have taken no part whatsoever in the meetings that have lately taken place in this country, particularly that large and important one of the Archbishop and Clergy of the Catholic diocese of Tuam, in whose feelings and opinions T quite concur, as it is my sincere belief that while the system of Tithes exists there will be no peace or contentment in this country, and that it will ultimately be destruction to the Established Church, for whose menteP.ance and support it is now continued. I am, Sir, Your obedient and very humble servant, W. BRABAZON. FASHIONS FOR JUNE. (From the Ladies' magazine of Fashion.)

OBSERVATIONS.—.The long-continued cold and unsettled weather in Paris, as well as in London, has occasioned the elegantes of both capitals to be very backward in adopting the usual light and elegant costume of the season ; and it may be asserted that it is only at the evening parties that dresses are generally worn of light materials. With us a certain gloom has been cast over the gay scene by the mourning for the Queen's m o th er; b ut i n P ar i s, white muslin, tulle defil, plain, or a point d'esprit, organdy embroidered and brochee are much worn, the latter being much used for dancing dresses. A toi lette, composed of organdy brochee, in small coloured bouquets, trimmed with a deep flounce, and with lace on the body and sleeves, is more fashionable than a gauze or richer material. A muslin dress, embroidered au plumetis in a running pattern, was open at the side, and trimmed with a double row of Brus sels application, which was confined at five equal distances by bows of white figured gauze riband ; the corsage and sleeves trimmed with the same lace which fell over the sleeve so as to meet the head of the manchette. A cap of point lace worn quite at the back of the head, with a wreath of roses encircling the cheeks, long lappets of point lace attached to the back of the head, falling over the shoulders; a dress of organdy, sprigged in small green branches ; a flounce festonne with green, headed by a ruche formed of several small trimmings, festonne plain body, trimmed with a rabat of lace; small sleeves, tight at the top, and finished with two wide bias folds put on full, reaching to the elbow, and raised in front by a bow of green riband. -- On Monday afternoon the body of a female was found dreadfully lacerated at the foot of Shakspcare's Cliff, Dover. The corpse proved to be that of Mrs. Elwin, the wife of a respectable tradesman, and connected with some of the most esteemed families in Dover. Whether the unfortunate deceased fell from the fearful height by accident, or whether, in a state of aberration of intellect, she precipitated herself from it, is uncertain.

His M.aB-et;tY - entered into the most trang reieetiee k ieiree l'Xe necessary orders for the act:lin:iodation of is e:tests, to whom he has himself allotted the entleter. each is to occupy.

Their effective force is leetween 000 aed 1,000 teen, commanded mostly ley eMitle?rs of the Imperial army, i and some even who hoe screed in the old guard. Their band, too, is not o f tve inferior order. At I o'clock General Achard teele,out of the Palace with a ' de . achment of horse gendarmes, and proceeded in - all ',teem to a camp, situate el; the entrance of the forest, ett the Paris road, end celled out the battalion of the fitli Regiment of Light Infantry. This battalion, which appears to have been made up of the picked men of the regiment, is eneanTed on the skills of t,:e forest at the extremity of the Roe de France, with a company of artillery of the 2d Regiment, that had come in from Vincennes with four pieces of cannon. In cite Ittetant both those corps formed rn bataille, and the eth Regiment of Hussars, SOO strong, shortly afterwards debauched on the little plain, and drew up on the Nemours road. Thu National Guard soon followed, the artillery marching fire% then the fire men, and afterwards the main body of the citizens. The whole force was on the ground about ho'clock. At 3 o'clock his Majesty made his appearance on horseback, accompanied by l the Dukes de Nemours and Joieselle. The King was saluted with acclamations as he treversed the town, and was equally well received when he reached the temporary Champ de Mars, where numbers or persons of all ranks and sexes had assembled to witness the sight. The National Guard, of eoeree, occu pied the place of honour, and was reviewed the first ; Louis Philippe then passed before the whole of the line, every where greeted with enthuelastic cheers. The Queen, the Princess Adelaide, the Princesses Marie and Cle mentine, and the Duke of Aumale, dressed as a cannoneer, next proceeded along the line, bowing to the right and left, and acknowledging th e g re e ti ngs o f t h e crowd. The king then took his station under a large tree, etterollnded by his Etat Major, and the whole of the troops and National Guards de filed before him in excellent order; after which the Royal fa mily returned to the Palace, accompanied by the multitude, who were allowed to approach their persons so near that I think the King shook hands with two or three. Everything passed off very well, The two young Princesses were ex tremely cheerfel and amiable. Every one missed the Duke of Orleans and the Queen of the Belgians, who, it seems, have ginie to meet the Princess of Mecklenburg, who is to arrive to-morrow evening. Upwards of 400 post horses went threegh this morning to take their station on the Melun road, the postillions with tricoloured favours in their glazed hats, making a tremendous noise with their whips, and evidently not all in their sillier senses. This evening, a municipal officer in full costume, escorted by six freemen, and preceded by two drummers, is going over the town, stepping at every earrefaur to read the programme of the rejoicings that are to take place on the occasion of the happy union of Monseigneur the Duke of Orleans with the se renissime Princess of Mecklenburg. To-morrow there are to be fireworks in the Parterre ; on Tuesday, spectacle gratis, balls, and illuminations ; and the same on Wednesday. The gala at the Chateau commenced this evening, and the band of the 6th Regiment is now playing symphonies under the win dows of the King's dining-room. The weather was beautiful throughout the whole of the day, and the sun excessively warm. The trees are only beginning to put out their leaves, and as yet afford no shade ; a few days more of this temperature will do an immensity of good. Vegetation has been thrown back a full month by the incle ment season. The King end Royal Family eat down to dinner on Satur day, at half-past eight. A large party were invited. The Prefect of the Seine and Marne sat at the right of the Queen ; General Vattier, commanding the Department, by the side of Madame Adelaide ; M. Dudouit, Mayor of Fontainebleau ; Colonel Brack, of the 4th Hussars; the Lieutenant-Colonel, the Commandant of the post of the National Guards. The Military Intendant, and all the superior agents of the Civil List residing at Fontainebleau were also among the company. To-day his Majesty visited the apartments, to satisfy himself that all his orders had been properly executed. All the per sons of the household of the King and the Princes who had not accompanied them, arrived this afternoon. All the town is in motion--the inns crowded to repletion—and, at all points, he private houses filling--every tiling assumes the appearance of a fete, and even the weather seems to favour the solemnities in preparation. The Forest of Fon tainebleau touches the walls:of the town. A plot of waste ground, covered with rubbish, was levelled as smooth as an avenue in the Bois de Boulogne, or an alley in the garden of the Tuileries. The camp was formed. The soldiers had brought green sward, and created quite an artificial vegeta tion. Behind are the tents of the soldiers, and farther back those of the officers. All the art of Vauban and of Carnot is here parodied in miniature, the height of the fortifications, in cluding the depth of the trenches, is about three feet. The coup d'sil is curious. There was on both the roads a want of post-horses yester day to convey persons to Fontainebleau. They were obliged to have their names inscribed, and wait their turn. The Journal de Paris contains the following :—" Before leaving the tents on the frontier where the Princess Helena assumed her new title of a French woman, her Royal High ness gave to the Mayor of Forbach 500 francs to be distri buted among the poor ; and 500 francs for the Sisters of Pro vidence. The Princess also presented jewels to the two young ladies of Forbach and Sarraguemines selected to address her, and to the officer of engineers who erected the tents. She likewise caused 1,000 francs to be distributed amongst the sappers. The Prefect received 4,000 francs to open accounts at the Savings' Bank in the name of those daughters of work men who most distinguished thettselves in their schools." The Duke de Saxo Weimar, uncle to the Princess Helena, accompanied his niece to the French frontier. Their part ing was an affecting scene. The Grand Duke twice em braced his niece, saying ; " Adieu, my beloved niece ! Henceforth you are a Frenchwoman ; but you will be worthy your new country." All present, as well as the parties, were in tears. Tim PttINCESS HELENA AT METZ. The spot upon which she entered France being marked by a triumphal arch erected for the occasion, surmounted a monogram of the names of Helena and Ferdinand. The arch was surrounded by tents, and these, with a strong muster of the National Guards of Forbach, and other towns in the vicinity, with large detach ments of cavalry, infantry, and artillery, who crowned the neighbouring heights, presented a magnificent coup d'ccil to the eye of the illustrious strangers, the effect of which was greatly increased by the acclamations of the assembled c,-owds, whose numbers amounted to 20,000, and who rent the air with joyous shouts of welcome. A number of young ladies had here the honour to compliment her Royal Highness, and to present her with a wreath of flowers. The Duke of Choi seul, General Gourgaud, and General Jacqueminot, the Royal Commissioners appointed to receive the Princess, were here ir.t oduced to her by the Duke of Broglie, and were most graciously received by the royal travellers, who seemed both gratified and affected by the warmth of their reception. Her Royal Highness is of the middle stature, with highly agree able—not to say beautiful—features ; they are fair, and beam with gentle kindness and sensibility. In a word, she is one of those whom it is impossible to look upon without conceiving a favourable impression at the very first glance. A tiiumplial arch was erected a short distance from the gate of the city at which the Princess was to enter, and near this a large tent fcr the authorities of the town. It was nearly five o'clock when the signal announced the approach of the Prin cesi. On arriving at the tent she alighted from her carriage, and was received by the civil and military authorities. There was no tedious speechifying on this occasion, as a hint, friendly as it was wise, had been previously given by a high authority that it had better be dispensed with. The Princess seemed much pleased with an offering that was made her by some little children belonging to an institution, being a portrait of the Duke of (Means; she had it placed before her in the open c.7.leche, which she now mounted to make her entry into the town.. After the fire-works there was a concert on the river at the back of the prefecture, whilst, in front, she beheld the loft• spire and delicate pinnacles of the cathedral illuminated. Besides giving 600 fr. to the artificers of the Pyrotechnic school, she distributed 4,000 fr. among some charitable insti tutions. On Saturday, at half-past 11, the_King held a Council of Ministers, which sat till two. At a quarter before four, the King and Queen, the Queen of the Belgians, and all the Royal Family, took th e i r d e p arture f rom t h e T u il er i es, for Fontain bleau. His Majesty found the National Guard of Villejuif under arms on his passage ; all the inhabitants of the communes through which the carriages passed hailed his Majesty and the Royal Family with the warmest acclamations. These manifes tations were stronger when their Majesties reached Fontain bleau, where all the windows were hung with tricoloured flogs. Cries of " Vive le Roi !" did not cease until the moment when the Royal Family entered the Pal ace . _ _ _ The Duke of Orleans left on Saturday morning for Chalons. sur. Marne. He was to stop for the night one stage on this side of the town, and would visit the Grand Duchess Dowager of Mecklenburg and the Princess Helena, who were to arrive at Chalons on Saturday evening. His Royal Highness, on taking leave of the Princesses, would proceed to Fontainbleau. Extract of a letter from Frankfort, dated 24th inst. —" All who have had the honour of an audience of the Princess He lena are charmed with the kind and gracious affability of her language. One of them, speaking of the beauties which are found in the environs of Paris, observed that possibly her Royal Highness, on her arrival at Fontainbleau, would lose her regrets at quitting the shady groves of Ludwigslust. Oh replied tho Princess, I am prepared to admire and love everything I find in France.' To another she said, experience deep emotion when I reflect on my new destiny ; but, to console me, I rely upon the goodness of the Royal Family, and the love of the people of France.' At Hesse the Landgrave was waiting to receive her Royal Highness. The. Duke de Broglie, with the French envoys, were lodged at thQ castle of Wilhelmsbade, about a quarter of a league from nau, which the Princess reached yesterday morning. flc,re she was received by the Duke and his suite, who went out lon foot to facet her.

In the centre of etch of the too largest panels is an escutcheon with the ciphers interwined of the Prinen anti his Royal bride, and the stand, of boldly-eha:-ted lions' claws, completes this splendid piece of workmanship. A meeting of the tlerniaris resident in Paris is proposed to be held at the Manegc Central, No. 113, Rue Montmartre, to-morrow, at seven o'clock in the evening, to forma commis sion, to be charged with presenting to the Princess Helena their congratulation on her arrival in the capital. ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCESS HELENA. FONTAINEBLEAU, MAY ?A—Since morning postchaises have not ceased an instant to drive in by the Melun and Paris roads. All, however, have put up at the Palace, and scarcely one at an inn. The Duke of Orleans arrived last night at half-past eleven, with, some say, the Prince Talleyrand de Perigord. His Royal Highness, who had gone to meet his bride, left her safe at Chalons-sur- Marne; vihere she slept last night. She was to arrive to-day in Melun at one o'clock. Among the distinguished guests already here, are Marshals 111‘Donald, Molitor, Maison, Grouchy, Gerard, Lobau; Ba ron Pasquier, President of the Chamber of Peers ; M. Thicrs, M. Barthe, the Minister of Justice ; M. Girod de l'Ain ; Messrs. Jaubert, Vatout, Ganneron, Pelet de la Lozcre, and scores of Deputies and Peers which it is useless to name. Nothing can equal the confusion into which the Palace is thrown by the arrival of so many guests. It is supposed that not less than two hundred post-chaises have come in since morning. The Queen, and I understand the King of the Bel gians, have just reached in a coach-and-six, escorted by a few gendarmes. Perceiving the people moving in large numbers towards the camp, I proceeded thither, and found the soldiers busily en gaged in preparing for the reception. The front de bandiire of their incampment is beautifully ornamented with grass plots, artificial gardens ; and the intervening spaces between the tents are planted with boughs of evergreens, which give it a most pleasing aspect. On the green plots, benches, altars, &c., which line the camp, on the road-side, are figured gre nades, bugles, crosses of the Legion of Honour, and the hearts of the soldiers, drawn with daisies, violets, and other wild flowers of the forest. In the centre stands an hymeneal altar of verdure, on which two tricoloured flags are united, the one bearing the word Mecklenburg, and the other that of Orleans. At its base is written in large capital letters, also in grass and flowers—" Le 6th Regiment au Rois des Fran cais" (the 6th Regiment to the King of the French). But the most extraordinary emblem of all is that placed in front of the encampment of the company of Chasseurs. It consists of a rain's head, as big as life, with a large pair of horns, crowned with flowers, with this inscription underneath—" Le 6th Regiment A 11. de M." (the 6th Regiment to Helen of Mecklenburg 0 The artillery, whose camp is situate on the opposite side of the road, do not evince the same taste for decoration as their comrades of the infantry. They have not figured a single heart, but have handsomely decked out the tent of their Commander. All the Royal Family, with the exception of the King, set out at two o'clock for the Table du Roi, to meet the Princess. It being contrary to Cour.t etiquette that fathers should go out of their way for their children, the King has remained in the Palace to receive his daughter-in-law at the top of the fer a cheval (or horse-shoe) staircase, in the court of the Cheval Blanc, where the National Guard and 'troops have orders to rendezvous. EIGHT O'CLOCK.--The entire military force was united and drawn up in the court at four o'clock. The Princess of Mecklenburg was to have arrived at five, but shortly after that hour had struck a courier was seen riding in all haste and proceeding to the fer a cheval, when he handed a paper to an Aide-dc-camp, who brought it in to the King. The whole of the grand dignitaries of the Crown were then assembled at the head of the staircase, but from the distance at which we were kept I could only discern Marshal Lobau. At half past five the Court carriages I had seen entering the palace at one o'clock :came up gallopping on the place, and drove to the fer a cheval, but they passed so rapidly that no one could tell whether the Princes was in one of them or not. The Dukes of Orleans and Nemours were in the first, next came a carriage full of ladies, with the windows up, and then the King's omnibus with Count Flahaut and other officers of the Court, followed by two more carriages. The King shook hands with the two first ladies who mounted the staircase, and then went into the Palace. I had the patience to wait in the square until ten minutes to seven o'clock, when a detachment of gendarmes rode in and announced the approach of the Princess. She was in a state carriage, drawn by eight posthorses, and, though the cortege moved at a slow pace, it was impossible for me in the confusion to see her well enough to describe her accurately. She appeared pale and tired (from the journey, perhaps). She has a longish face, is fair, and, I should think, rather tall. She saluted the people very graciously as she went along, and must have b.:en well pleased with the reception. The spectators, from the highest to the lowest, were delighted with her, and observed that she would make a fine Queen. She wore a white satin hat and a rose-coloured gown. Seven other capri.. , ers formed her suite, and the whole was escorted by a large detachment of dragoons of the regiment in garrison at Melon. The Princess was met at the gate of Fontainebleau by the the municipal body, with the Mayor at its head, who wel comed her to their town, and the young ladies of the place, all dressed in whi:e, were afterwards admitted to offer her a bouquet and to address her a compliment, which she acknow ledged in a most courteous manner. On the whole, the fu ture Duchess of Orleans has made a most favourable impres sion on the people. When she entered the court of the Palace the troops paid her the honours due to a Qlecn• She was conducted and presented to the King, before whom she fell on her knees. He raised and kissed her, and then de livered her over to the Queen, by whom and the rest of the Royal Family she was received with tenderness and affection. Of the Duchess, her mother, or the other persons of her suite, I cay nothing, having only seen the Princess. Immediately afterwards the troops and National Guards were dismissed, and at eight o'clock the Court adjourned to the banquetting. hall, where between 300 and 400 persons sat down to table. CONSTANTINOPLE. MAY 10.—By the latest intelligence from Odessa we learn that the vessels of war, which on the 21st of April sailed from thence with troops, returned to that port on the 28th ; there fore, the report that had got abroad, as to their having gone to the coast of Circassia, could not be true, as they had barely time. to extend their voyage as far as Sebastopol and get back. It is supposed they would receive more troops at Odessa, and again set sail in a few days. That an expedition for Circassia is in progress is highly probable, but the embarkation, if they are sent by sea, can take place at Sebastopol much more snugly than at Odessa, which is in constant communication with all parts of Europe, whereas there is not a soul at Sebas topol who can tell the public what is going forward. Besides, ships of great draught of water are unsuitable for that rocky and shallow coast, and troops going in that direction are ge nerally marched to Kersch, where they are ferried over the strait without danger, delay, or difficulty. It would appear that the departure of Mr. Ycames, our consol, from Odessa, is to bc attributed to no other cause than a desire to travel to recruit his health. All we hear about the Sultan is, that he should by this time be at Siiwnla, where he must feel himself more comfortable than at Varna, as during the last war Shumla was never taken. His voyage altogether cannot but light up in his mind recol lections which, on the whole, must be of a nature to irritate him against an aggressive enemy, whose traces arc still visible in every direction. How far the fear of a repetition of similar humiliation may interfere, to act as a damper upon the natural desire to avenge the insults he then received, I shall n o t pre tend to say ; but if his Highness hated the Russians already, it is not likely he will become more attached to them by view. ing the remnants of their ravages. Great preparations arc making at Adrianople, to receive the Sultan with honour. The streets are kept smooth and clear, old buildings have been painted, and new ones run up. The Paella is collecting his militia, and the place will altogether have au air very different from its usual dirt and dullness. It would be well if there were at the bottom something like real prosperity. With all its forced smiles Adrianople is, like many other cities in this empire, sinking into premature decay. Its once extensive trade has now dwindled to nothing, and with a river navigable from the sea passing through it, no attempt is made to restore it. Lord Ponsonby this morning sent off a messenger with dis patches for Downing-street. Dispatches from Persia went on by the same opportunity, but the, were received previous to the date of our last, and we have no fresh intelligence from that country. Yesterday a very beautiful 96 gun ship, was towed into the dock-yard from Izwidt, where she was lannched a few months back. By degrees the Turks arc getting up a tre nftdons fleet. We shall have in the Bosphorus in a few days six ships of the line and as many heavy friga4s, besides numerous smaller vessels; and after the Sultan gets back, somt of tlf,tn; it is said; Will go Into the Mediterraneni to , :.:ereise. They ought lathef to be sent into the Sed 4 for if they are ever called upon to fight, it is more likely to bc! there than an:: where else.

If the dottittiettial crisis, long expected here, do not take place previously, it will then show itself, Prudent merchants arc already taking in sail, and preparing for this squall ; but they are not the only persons exposed ; the whose country will stlfret most severely. It is under such untoward auspices that our now tariff is to be brought forward. No meeting has yet taken place with the Turkish authorities, but the other day the English Commissioners waited upon those of France, and I understand each party exhibited to the other their instructions, which being compared, they were found to be nearly the same in spirit. The French have met the Turkish Commissioners repeatedly, without having hitherto made any real progress. They arc endeavouring to persuade the latter to permit of the I purchas6 of produce (no articles to be reserved by the Go- I vernment to monopolize, and no restrictions on grain) by 11 , Franks throughout the country, on the payment of precisely ' the same duties as are levied on Rayahs, and whenever it is found advisable to augment these duties, four or six months' previous notice to be given. If the Turks once concede these points, all the rest will be plain sailing. It is for the interest of the empire at large that they should do so, but by no means for the interest of the individuals who distribute the loaves and ashes, and here lies the grand difficulty. However, this is now so well understood that it requires no further elucidation. On the 6th inst. there was a grand Council held at the Porte, and among other things determined on, I hear that 120 Government brokers, paying largely for their privilege, are to be appointed ; all sales and purchases at Constantinople to be made through them, and they being allowed one per cent. thereon. This will throw out of bread a large class. We had more brokers here than merchants by far. PORTUGAL. THE SHAKSPEARE. LtsnclN, May 24th.—The British brig Shakspeare has been discharged by the custom-house authorities of as much of her cargo as they thought proper, without endangering the safety of the vessel ; and her master, William Rosie, has been informed that he is now at liberty to have his vessel repaired, which he has refused to comply with, and has applied to them to put her cargo on board in the same state as they found it, free of expense, as also to grant the necessary clearances, that he may proceed to some hospitable port to repair his vessel, which they also refuse to grant him, as by the following peti tion, answer thereto, and the report of the Guarda Mor,Manoel des Mantas, will more fully explain :—" The petition of Wil liam Rosie, of the English brig Shakspeare, showeth that the custom-house Guarda Mor having arbitrarily, and• against the wish of the petitioner, unloaded the said brig which had sought this port, and the petitioner, being resolved to prose cuse his voyage without repairing her, prays that you will be pleased to give orders to hare said cargo restored to him on board free of every expense, and that his clearances may be given for sailing out of this port." REPLY OF THE CUSTOM-ROUSE ADMINISTRATOR. " Lot the Guarda Mor give his report." (Signed) "L. CARNEIRO." REPORT OF THE GUARDA MOR. " This most extravagant of all the petitions of the Captain seems to be made for the sole purpose of turning into ridicule all that has been done by the Custom-house, in favour of the vessel in question. " The petitioner considered his vessel in such great peril that he asked fi anquiza (the freedom of the port), for the purpose of immediately repairing, and by the survey which en sued the necessity was pointed out for her unloading, thereby to save her from the imminent peril which threatened her ; but, as in this instance, the petitioner found the most extra. ordinary activity on the part of the Custom-house, he-put into practice everything that was incoherent, so far as finally to demand the restoration of his cargo, for the purpose of quitting this - port, thereby deeming as superfluous all the kindness which has been bestowed upon him by this Custom house, I therefore consider that the Captain shows the great est bad faith, pushed on, perhaps, by persons who wish to breed a quarrel ; it may, therefore, be proper to have the vessel again surveyed, in order to ascertain if the vessel is ca pable of continuing her voyage in the state she is in ; and if so, I think the cargo should be put on board at some place not in the immediate vicinity of the Custom-house anchorage ground. I see no reason why the petitioner's request that the cargo should be re-shipped free of expense to him, for, until the whole of his bad faith came to light, he was seeking to unload the cargo with lighters and labourers sent by his consignee, thereby to relieve the vessel, which he even acknowledged on board in presence of the Custom-house guards, the scriveners and myself, when by your order we went to make the proces verbal of the unlading, having also myself on the same occa sion declared to the petitioner and his consignee that they might make use of their own lighters and men, provided they used no delay in unloading, the thing being considered so very urgent ; to which they would not consent. I have nothing further to report, and you will decide what you may conceive most fit. (Signed) " M. MANTAS, Guarda Mor. " Lisbon, May 22, 1837." DECISION OF THE ADMINISTRATOR. " Considering the documents which we are in possession of regarding such irregular proceedings of the captain and con signee, whereby it is proved to be false all that the petitioner alleges, his request, therefore, has no foundation, still less can it be granted. ( Signed) " L. CARNEIRO." The Nacional of yesterday, in its customary violence and prevaricating style whenever it has to treat of English affairs, vomits forth an article on the subject of the brig Sharapeare, and after a sufficient abuse of the " haughty son of Albion," the " brave Argonaut," as they call him (alluding to Captain Shiffner, of his Majesty's ship Hastings, who tore the seals, and put the Captain in possession of his vessel), who carried the vessel by boarding, they go on by urging the Ministry to demand instant satisfaction against this insolent, arrogant, and and violent contempt of all good feeling towards unfortunate Portugal. Forgetting the violence and illegality of their own acts, and the insult offered to the British flag, the Nacional goes on by calling all the Portuguese to witness if this is the first attempt only committed by their faithful allies in this country, whether this conduct is not to have an end. Had they not better see their city razed to the ground rather than suffer a continuation of these insulting acts of the haughty Island ers, and concludes by asking if there is any nation that has suffered more than this from its alliance with Great Britain. In the paper of to-day, upon the same subject, their virulence is still further increased, and it really seems as if the Nacional were anxious to bring things to an open rupture. It is conjectured by many that a high foreign functionary pulls the string of this political punchinello in every thing that relates to England, both politically and commercially. We shall have less to lose," say they, " from an open war, than a concealed one. Let the English at once come and take possession of Portugal—let them be frank—let them pro claim our slavery. Then once for all every notion of right and reason shall be extinguished in Great Britain ; then shall come to be verified in our respect the saying attributed to Pitt ; The day when England shall practise justice shall be the eve of her downfal.' We shall then really know what to do. Then if, as we hope it will, the enthusiasm of September and November shall still exist—if the Portuguese people be worthy imitators of the glorious scenes of Ourique, in 1139 and 1836, one only cry will resound through Lusitania, Perish every thing except our honour I" However, I have reason to know that the members of the present Government are exceedingly annoyed at this untoward occurrence, and have publicly an nounced in the Diario do Governo, the official gazette, that a statement having been made in one of the journals (Nacional) respecting the occurrences relative to the Shakspeare, which arc at variance with the protest and other representations of her Captain, a legal inquiry has been instituted, in order to as certain the real merits of the case, the result of which, as soon as finished, shall be laid before the public. This circumstance, of itself, is sufficient to show what little credit can be attached to such vituperative writings. BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS. BRUSSELS, MAY 29.—A dreadful storm yesterday visited Enghien and the environs. Hailstones, of an enormous size, cut all the crops to pieces. The hothouses of the Duke of Arenberg were very much damaged. Terveurer also suf. fered considerably. MAY 30.—The Independent announces that the sum total of notes for francs put into circulation by the General Society, amounts to no more than 5,000,000 francs ; and that it has annulled, on the other hand, three millions of florins in old Dutch notes, which would make one million one hundred thou sand francs in Bank notes withdrawn :from circulation, as its books prove. We are surprised that, with so small an amount in notes, the Society can meet the demands of the merchants, and the payments that its various enterprises require. If these state ments are correct, the Independent has done an ill service to the general society in publishing them ; we expected some thing very different from the reputation of prosperity and so lidity which it enjoys in Europe, five millions of francs in notes, when the smallest branch of the Provincial Banks of England pay four times as much. Foreigners will have a poor opinion of our financial establishments when they learn this news—we are really grieved at it, and arc willing to believe that the In dependent has omitted a cypher.

A public dinner took pl;:tee yesterday evening, at the 'thato-ted-house Tavern, St. James's, for the purpose of presenting a dititn - it s•orvice of plate to Mr. John Leslie, in testimony of the sefiSd entertained by the rate payers of the parish of St. George, Hamner-square, of the services rendered by that gentleman to the parish, The chair was taked the Right Hon. Earl Amherst, sup ported on his right by Mr, I_, , _•Ae, the Hon. Robert Smith, 74..:1 3 ;, Hon. Mr. Clive, M.P., rill' William Fremantle, George Caprou and Richard Doane, tsqrg., rte. ; and on his left, by Mr. Gaily linisht, .M.P. ; the Dean of Carlitele, G. R. Marten, Esq., the Right Hon. W. Sturges Bourne, Flontle Stanley, Esq., Sir G. Warrendcr, G. R. Phillips, Esq., M.P., :Rot, Mr, Gill, and about 100 other gentlemen. Messrs. Hodgkinson and Ingle officiated as Vice Presidents. After the cloth had been rcstoctvell, and the usual toasts of " The King"--.‘ The Queen"—" 'rho Pricess Victoria and the rest of the Royal Family"—" The Army and Navy,"— had been drunk with the usual honours, The CHAIRMAN rose, and said they wsre now come to that toast which vt as more immediately conneetrcl with the object of their meeting that evening—he meant the health of his friend and coadjutor, Mr. Johlo Leslie.—(Cheers.) He had no doubt that every one of them had lamented as lie had clone that the proceedings of that evening had been so long delayed, and he had often thought of the maxim he had been taught in his younger days, " that he gives twice who gives quickly."—(Hear, hear.) That favour so long delayed almost cease to be favour—but he had for some time past ceased to entertain that idea, because he felt convinced that the longer the testimonial to their friend Mr. Leslie had been delayed the better it had been de served.—(Much cheering.) The wisdom and intelli gence with which those measures that had tended so much to the benefit of the parish had been framed, could only be equalled by the steadiness and perseverance with which they had been brought to maturity by Mr. Leslie ; and he believed he might safely add, that there never was a period when his faculties were more devoted to the pro motion of the best interests of the parish than at the pre sent moment. The very splendid display of plate which was arranged at the head of the room professed to be the gift of the rate-payers of the parish of St. George, Hanover square, but he would not have Mr. Leslie suppose that it was only among the more opulent inhabitants of the parish that a true sense of gratitude and thankfulness prevailed. On the contrary, he felt satisfied that if the voices of those persons who from age and infirmity were compelled to take refuge in their workhouse could be heard, they would be foremost in tendering him their thanks for having been the means of alleviating their miseries, and increasing their ' comforts.—(Applause.) He would go farther, and say that by this time the able-bodied paupers who used to spend two days every week in endeavouring to force their way to to the bar of their poor hoard, were beginning to feel their obligations to Mr. Leslie for enabling them to live upon the fruits of their own industry, and he might add, for eating the bread of independence.—(Great cheering.) There was not, perhaps, an individual among them better able to ap preciate Mr. Leslie's feelings at that moment than himself. He (Earl Amherst) had six and thirty years ago received from a loyal body of men a valuable gift, and he never girded on that sword, after so long a lapse of time, without adverting to the inscription on it, and which told him that it had been given him by his com rades, as a proof of their confidence and esteem. — (Vehement cheering.) So it would be with Mr. Leslie—as often as his friends assembled with him round his hos pitable board. Whatever notice might be bestowed upon the intrinsic value of the testimonial—whatever admiration the beauty of the workmanship might excite, it would be to the device and inscription that Mr. Leslie, with an honest pride, would point their attention.—(Cheers.) To that is scription which told him, that after an unanimous vote of thanks from the Vestry, that plate was presented in testi monv of the important services he had rendered to the parish, which he (Earl Amherst) trustel he might long continue to render. The Noble Chairman then (turning to Mr. Leslie) said, in a very impressive manner, " And now, Mr. Leslie, the time is come when I am about to execute the honourable and grateful task imposed upon me. Mr. Leslie, in the name and on behalf of your fellow-parishioners, I present to you this testimonial of the high opinion they entertain of your services, and, at the same time, of their esteem and regard for you, accompanied with all our best wishes that you may live to enjoy it during many long years of happi ness and prosperity ; and when your days shall come to be numbered, it may descend, and continue to descend, as a perpetual inheritance to your children's children."—(Tre mendous cheering.) The service of plate, which was of the most costly des cription and exquisite workmanship, consisting of candelabra, candlesticks, soup turd!), stand and cover, sauce boats, salts, dishes and covers, &c., &c., was here uncovered, and excited universal admiration. The health of Mr. Leslie was then drunk with three times three, and loud and protracted cheering from all parts of the room. Mr. LESLIE rose, and was again greeted with the warmest marks of approbation from the company. When the cheer ing had subsided, Mr. Leslie spoke as follows :—My Lord and Gentlemen—There are moments in the experience of every individual of the most embarrassing description— periods when it is absolutely impossible so to collect the thoughts as to give utterance to the sentiments which the heart most deeply feels. By your extraordinary kindness and condescension, such is my present position ; and with feelings quite overpowered by a sense of the distinguished honour conferred on me, I entreat your utmost indulgence while I endeavour, in a very brief, in a very feeble, and in a totally inadequate manner, to attempt the expression of my most grateful acknowledgment of the kindness evinced towards me by so many illustrious and distinguished indi viduals—by so many very kind friends, neighbours, and fel low-parishiOners of mine. It is not, my Lord and Gentle men, because in this magnificent testimonial of the appro bation of my conduct, I recognize the names of the high and mighty in this empire—it is not because I perceive among them many on whom, through the dispensations of a kind Providence, wealth and worldly honours have been most bountifully bestowed, that its value is thereby en hanced ; but it is because I know, from actual obser vation of the fact, that among the donors, in every rank among them, there are to be found that amount of moral worth, and that true nobility of soul, which, while deeply lamenting the distress and misery to which our com mon nature is exposed, actively engages in alleviating and removing the wretchedness of those upon whom the blessings of Providence have been less bountifully be stowed ; it is these considerations which add an in trinsic value to this magnificent present which no other circumstances, in my estimation, could give to it. My Lord and Gentlemen,—l do not for one moment consider this assembly as having met, or that invaluable present given to me, as intended either to minister to personal gratification, or to foster individual vanity. I accept both the distinguished compliments with which you have this day been pleased to honour me, upon no such evanescent or trifling considerations. You have made them public pro perty, and as public examples they must both be made sub servient to important purposes in the promotion of objects of public utility, or they entirely fail of their design. The effect of them upon myself is, that they present imperative obligations to encreased exertion ; and the effect of them upon others I have no doubt will be, that they will operate with a powerful influence, as a stimulus to them, honestly, faithfully, and zealouly to discharge those public duties which public confidence imposes.—(Hear, hear.) If such unworthy motives as personal gratification had actuated my public conduct, it would long since have been ac complished by the many acts of kindness received, and in the often recorded votes of thanks for services which have been kindly appreciated far beyond their merits— (No, no) —but I trust higher and more worthy motives have hitherto directed, and will continue to guide me in future life.—(Loud cheers.) But were it not so, my Lord and Gentlemen, would your applause, flattering though it be—would that invaluable present, inestimable though it is—would they compensate for the upbraidings of the silent monitor within ?—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") No, my Lord and Gentlemen, if I can trust to the evi dence of my own feelings, I can t ru ly sa y th a t my p u bli c conduct has been guided by no personal motives or consi derations.—(Hear, and cheers.) The actuating principle which has been and still is my polar star, is the desire to promote, as far as in me lies, the welfare and happiness of my fellow-creatures ; and I do confess it is a high source of gratification to be identified even as an humble link in that great chain I see around me united for the purpose of carrying out principles scarcely yet developed, which we fondly trust will carry with them blessings to generatioi s yet unborn ; and my earnest hope is that each one of us ,t , toqy, both in o!ject and its rcw.ard, to the fullest.exten' 'eel Ind rcal:ze the buy sentiments of my Lord liac ° ' That rood wolks is the end of roan's motion, science of the same is the accomplishment of man's rest, —(Cheers.) Aly Lora end Gentlemen, it would be impro er in me vs your guest on this occasion to detain you 0: any details of results of that system with which you a re all so familiar, and it would be equally improper were 1 do make even the slightest allusion to any pecuniary at be vantages which the new system has produced, cause I am sure that these considerations, however and eon; important, are of very infer . o• moment to all those whom I have now the honour to address. But I hope I 6 1 , - .111 neither be considered as trespassing on r u . r , patience, ncr overstepping the bounds of propriety, 7 I make a short allusion to other ant: far more importan and delightful consequences of the present Par" bigi bu m t a i nagement, the triumph of which is not a pee,:ni ary moral one. It is not by how many th o usands of , Wi n _ . d d per annum of the money of the ratepayers have bee n saYe that we are desirous of estimating the important once' querrcs of that change ; but by how much the poor theta' selves have ./bereby been henefitted, and by the ratio in which the s um total of human wretchedness has thereby been diminished.—(Vehement cheering.) These a re c°ll. siderations which come home to the bosom of every W en ' thropist ; and when based upon the evidence of facts, they strike a chord which makes the heart vibrate with delight; My Lord and Gentlemen—the representative vestry, their introduction to office, found the parish overwhelnlo by a rapidly increasing amount of pauperism, with its Cee comitani: horrors of idleness and vice. These three 0P: palling evils to a people arc now so diminished and dian; nishing, that they way be considered as fast approaching te, annihilation. And how Lao this important object been a. _ complished ? By gradually diverting the wealth o f !Dc , parish from promoting and supporting idleness and vi e and allowing it to take its natural course iri the enor .ar m v ment of industry and virtue.—(Hear, hear.) This' ;but -ft Lord and Gentlemen, is a very simple proposition o, is a fact supported by the testimony of hund;eds, 06 , d 4 ",: 01 dreds. of those who have thereby been emanc;pate" " t - o f the depths of pauperism, and raised to the enjoy*Peel" those comforts which independent labour alone can sups Est Is t I could tell you, my Lord and Gentlemen, that in the P,* a a year 1,637 fewer persons had gone into the workhouse was the case four years ago.—(Hear.) I could tell you " a instead of the annual average of 4 7 illegitimate childreu aliv born in your workhouse, there were only seven in the P year. I could tell you that out-door relief bad 11 stopped from upwards of 5,000 persons, who had live) moved, and had their being" in eleemosynary aid.—(CheeT, I could tell you that the number of persons in your 1 0 , r houses had decreased nearly 300 since the new system e c i gan, but I feel I ought not longer to detain you. 1 " 0 now,' my Lord and Gentlemen, permit me once more Ma p gratefully to acknowledge your kindness and condesceesidat in the honour you have this day conferred upon me , an 0 . do assure you that, as my conduct has received your aPPir4o, bation, my utmost ambition will be by every future o'4 your to deserve it.—(Mr. Leslie sat down amidst loud and enthusiastic cheering.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed " the health of the Pal, of Carlisle," and pronounced a very handsome and e ey. merited eulogium upon the virtues of that Very ."*.ly, Gentleman, for the manner in which he had s o lib al contributed to every charity within the parish , his Vl' k, promoting the moral and religious instruction o f his aance. and his uniform attention to his duties during the Pe' rind he had acted as pastor of the parish of St. ° cc "' Hanover-squre. The toast a was drunk with the greatest cordiality' 14 the Very Rev. Gentlman returned thanks. Mr. SMITH then gave the health of the Chairtio,°' Earl Amherst," alluding to the many claims which that I'd C bleman possessed upon the kind feelings and good vvisbe6cy the parishioners, from his zeal and promptitude o n all C sions in promoting the best interests of the community' The toast was drunk with three times ,three, three a midst gre- applause. br The CHAIRMAN regretted that he had not amongsr, many qualifications ascribed to him by his friend . 0 Smith, the gift of eloquence, or he would thank them, ;§ suitable terms for the cordial expression of their feellii'of he had just received. He believed the flourishing state v the parochial affairs was mainly to be attributed too excellent system that prevailed at their Board, and be total absence of all selfish and interested views from persons comprising the vestry. the The Dean of CARLISLE proposed " Prosperity to 0t Parish of St. George, Hanover-square." One of the gretp causes of the prosperous condition of the parish was, be manner in which its civil affairs were conducted, 0"„f00 trusted they would always carry them on in the °Pot spirit of cordiality and unanimity, avoiding all those ca 6 0 of strife and dissension which had been productive 0" much evil in other places.—(Cheers.) bolo The CHAIRMAN thought that the gentleman upon W had the duty of providing the handsome service of pla te f e lt devolved should not be altogether overlooked. .„1-tendof that he was really usurping the place of an Hon. ric fie his in presiding on the present occasion. —(No, no.) feared there was something invidious in naming ol le ° d lci of so many who deserved well of the parish ; bu t be Vov give them " Mr. Redmayne and the Plate Cornmittgof —(Cheers.)

He had recc e a letter from Lord Cowley, the senior churchwarden/ nrsi logizing for his absence, which arose, he was sorry 0 "o: from severe indisposition. Mr. Wilson was also, unO .s , r be nately, absent, but they had a gentleman among thein,,::d had only quitted office a few days, and to whose e elit'iro attention to his official duties, during a period of two Yll; he (Earl Amherst) could bear the ,cost ample testi°„°,..e —(Cheers.)
