NAVAL LIEUTENANTS. (From the Devonport Independent.) The following petition was agreed to and signed by 661 Lieutenants during the last month. Our ever active towns man, Lieutenant Somerville, corresponded on the subject midi Earl Minto and the Members for the Borough, forci bly arguing the claims of his veteran brethren. In his letter to Sir Edward Codrington, Mr. S. remarks that, " In reply to Naval Memorials of former days officers were told, as a reason why their pay was so small, that they received large sums as prize-money, their widows pensions, their sons gra tuitous education at the Naval College, their daught er s the Compassionate Fund, themselves half-pay, and Sure pro motion if they served. With the case as it now stands you arc, most likely, better acquainted than myself ; and all must admit that it is the duty of a wise Government to en deavour to remove the source of all heart-burnings or an noyances, and that nothing tends more to the strength and efficiency of any service than a persevering endeavour to instil into its relative parts confidence and self-esteem : witness the speeches made and orders given, in every age of the world, by Commanders-in-Chief, before and after battle, &c." The following were received from Sir Edward Cod- rington : Eaton-square, Ist May, 1837. Dear Sir—l enclose a copy of the letter with which I transmitted the petition and the letter from you to Lord Minto. Overwhelmed as I am with claims upon my pen and my time, I trust you will not require any observations on your letter received this morning. Very truly your's, Lieut. Somerville. E. CODRINGTON. Eaton-square, Ist May, 1837. My Lord—The accompanying petition has been con.: fided to me for presentation to your Lordship by 661 indi viduals of that very important and meritorious class of my profession, the Lieutenants of his Majesty's Navy. And with the view I have of the policy, as well as the justice of giving due encouragement to those who have shown, and are ready to show again, whenever necessary, their willingness to sacrifice their lives in the performance of their duty to the country, I beg leave, with all due respect, to implore your Lordship's benevolent consideration of the boon they ask. I have the honour to be, Your Lordships very obedient Servant, (Signed) EDWARD CODRINGTON. The Earl of Minto, G.C.8., &c. TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. The humble petition of the undersigned Lieutenants of your Majesty's Fleet, humbly sheweth, That your Majesty's humble petitioners approach your gracious person with sentiments of the most profound duty and respect, in the hope and confidence that your Majesty will be graciously pleased to grant a favourable considera tion to the humble prayer herein set forth. Your Majesty's petitioners beg most humbly to bring under your gracious notice the very peculiar state of . the list of Lieutenants, as far as it affects their seniority for, Half-pay, with its increase. Your Majesty's petitioners, to make their prayer more clear, would briefly advert to the regulations for the payment of the three classes. The 182 Retired Commanders, under your Majesty's Order in Coun cil of the Ist Nov. 1830, and first 118 Lieutenants, receive 7s. per diem ; the next 700 have 6s. ; and the remainder ss. At the close of the war, when this scale was established, officers who then came within the first class had not more than 20 years' rank, and the second chili on!y 10 years ; since that period every year has shown a consideraVe disparity between the number of years servitude in the relative classes, which (they humbly _conclude) was then taken as a criterion for forming the present scale : that disparity has gone on increasing, and 40 A' an Officer must have held his rank 33 years to be placed on ,the 7s. list, and 25 years to be placed on the 6s. list—the last being senior to those who were originnily place:l on the 7s. list ; and a large proportion of Officers of 20 years' rank, can have little hnpes•of even reaching •the 65. list in a less period of time,. as Lieutenants, than the Officers who filled the last vacancy on the 7s. list—viz., 33 years ; consequently, the great majority of this class of your Ma j,,sty's Petitioners must despair of ever living to attain the is. list. In humbly soliciting your Majesty's notice of the working , of this scale of Ilaif-pay, your Majesty's Peti tioners'have done so with a view to facilitate the object of their prayer, which is to implore your Majzsty to grant them relief, by removing from the Half-pay List of Lieu tenants those Officers who, from having been promoted to :t. superior rank, as . " Commanders, under your Majesty's Order in Council, no longer belong to their body, are nominally a separate List, but are,. notwithstanding, still included in the number of 300 Lieutenants entitled to 7s. per diem. Your Majesty's Petitioners humbly observe that they believe this retired rank to be the only one in your Majesty's Service not placed on a separate List for• Half-pay ; anti your Petitioners would also most dutifully solicit your Majesty's notice of a circumstance that has taken place in the Sister Service, which (they humbly conceive) bears some analogy to the subject of their present prayer ; at the same time dis Claiming the slightest invidious feeling on any favour granted to their brethren in arms, but, on the contrary, rejoicing in every act of bounty bestowed upon them. The circumstance to which tour Majesty's Petitioners have alluded, is the fact that a number of old Subalterns in the Army were, some few years since, promoted to the unattached rank of Captain, having only ss. per diem half-pay, but were in consequence removed from the List of Lieutenants, and within a short period your Majesty was graciously pleased to raise their Half-pay to the same amount us their Brother Officers, viz. 7s. per diem, the relative rank of the whole of your Petitioners and this Class of Officers being the same. And also, with the greatest possible Mc renee,your. Majesty's humble Petitioners would entreat your further notice of the boon' lately granted to their brethren of the Royal Marines, a number of old Captains having been privileged to retire on full pay, and a number of Ist Lieutenants having been promoted to the unattached rank of Captain, but who were taken off the List of Lieutenants, and put on a separate List. These several instances of your Majesty's gracious and paternal feeling for old and faithful Servants has emboldened your Petitioners to ad dress your Majesty, sensible that they need not point out that a large portion of themselves and brother Officers have large families -to support on their half-pay alone, and that, in a period of profound peace, they have but little prospect of improving their straitened means, and therefore the in crease of Is. per diem is to them a subject of deep interest - and anxious expectation, which the granting of the prayer of this Petition will be the means of giving immediately to many, and inspiring i n th em f or suc h a boon, the most sin cere and lively gratitude. And, as in duty bound, your Majesty's humble Peti toners will ever pray. The Marquis of Hertford gave a grand dinner on Saturday last. Besides the patronage of their Majesties and most of the Royal family, the fancy dress ball on the 30th of June, fur the benefit of the Royal Academy of Music, will be under the auspices of the most distinguished ladies of rank in the kingdom, who intend to follow the plan pursued last year— that is, to form several groups of dancers, uniformly dressed, Lut each set to be differently attired.

We are glad to learn that there is no doubt what ( ver of Mr. Sheridan's success. It is no less gratifying to fine that local dissensions have not led to political apostacy. The gentlemen who, in the Town Council affairs, appeared to hay s cted so hostilely to the Reformers, are we understand, sup ortinw Mr. Sheridan, to the extreme surprise and disappoint.. rscnt of the Tories, who had calculated upon them in Parlia mentary as well as Municipal Elections.—Somerset Gazette. THE FREDERICK-STREET MURDER.-Through out the whole of yesterday Mr. Inspector Aggs and police con stable Peglar, 104 S, were actively engaged in tracing the murderer, but they were unsuccessful in gaining any clue likely to lead to his discovery. It is now ascertained that the man who was seen running from the house soon after the mur der, with his hands stained with blood, was not the perpetra tor of the deed; but that he had met with an accident, which accounts for his appearance, and was hastening to a surgeon to have his wounds dressed. Tie friends of the unfortunate young woman assert most .'positively, and their assertions are corroborated by the statements of the medical gentleman who examined the wound, that it was quite impossible that she could have committed suicide. If cold or filth is allowed to impede perspiration, sensible or insensible, and prevent the waste matter from being thus got rid of, it must be thrown upon some other function, and will produce bowel complaint, or cough and expectoration, according as the lungs or the bowels are weakest. _ _ _ One - of Sattertbwaite's 'best jokes was tying a bit of meat very securely to the bell-handles which dangle outside the gates of certain suburban villas—sweet retirements of snug citizens ; the result of which operation was that every liungry dog that chanced to pass that way instinctively—rea :lcn:abiy almost, but naturally certainly—began to grabble at tempting morsel, which he vainly attempted to detach ; the inevitable consequence of which attempt was the violent riagrir of the bell.

O-ar readers will no doubt recollect that a case was brought into the Court of King's Bench some time ago, in which the plaintiff sued for damages against the Messrs. HANSARD, the printers, on account - of libel on his character, contained in a Parliamentary Report published by them. The jury found that the matter complained of was not libellous ; bur the Lord Chief Justice, in his summing up, took occasion to comment, in very strong terms, on the doctrine maintained by the ATTORNEY-G ENE RA r, that, were the Report ever so libellous, the authority of thf House of Commons under which it was published was a sufficient justification. "I am not aware," said Lord DEN MAN, -" of the existence in this country of any body whatever that can privilege any servant of theirs to publich libels of any individuals. Whatever arrangements may be made between the House of Commons and any publisher in their employ, I am of opinion that the publisher who publishes that in his public shop, and especially for 'money,. which may be i)ijurions, and possibly ruinous to any one of the King's subjects, must answer in a court of justice to that subject if he challenge him for a libel ; and I wish to say so emphatically and dis tinctly, because I think that if upon the first opportu nity that arose in a court of justice for questioning that point, it were left unsatisfactorily explained, the Judge who sat there might become an accomplice in the destruction of the liberties of the - country, and expose every individual who lives in it to a tyranny that no man ought to submit to." After so bold a denunciation of the illegality of the proceedings of the Commons in such cases, it was to be expected that that body would take some steps, if not to vindicate their authority, at least to ascer:ain to what extent they possessed the privilege questioned by Lord DEN MAN. A Select Committee was accordingly appointed to examine precedents, and to investigate the matter thoroughly. The Committee have performed their task with due diligence, and have presented to the House a report in which they have come to a conclusion directly oppoied to the dictum of the Lord Chief Justice. After a laborious enquiry into the law and practice of Parliament, they report as their opinion " that the power of publishing such of its reports, votes, and pro ceedings as it shall deem necessary or conducive to the public interests, is an essential incident to the constitutional functions .of Parliament, more especially of this House, as the representative portion of it. That by the law and privilege of Parliament, this House has the sole and exclusive jurisdiction to de termine upon the - existence and extent of its privileges, and that the institution or prosecution of any action, suit, or other proceeding for the purpose- of bringing them into discussion or decision before any court of tribunal elsewhere than in Parliament, is a high breach of such privilege, and renders all parties concerned therein amenable to its just displeasure, and to the punishment consequent thereon. That for any court or tribunal to assume to decide upon matters of privi lege inconsistent with the determination of either Houses of Parliament thereon, is contrary to the law of Parliament, and is a breach and contempt of the privileges of Parliament." It is quite clear from this Report that Lord DEN MAN was wrong in his exposition of the law of libel, as regards publications authorised by the House of Commons ; and not only so, but that, in taking upon himself, as the head of a Court of Law to decide adversely to this or any other privilege of the Commons, is itself a breach . of privilege. This may appear at first sight an extravagant and dan gerous power in the hands even of the representative body. It stands, however, on the same ground as all the other' privileges of both Houses:of Parliament, and as the Royal prerogative does, namely, the ge neral good. It is very true that individuals may be injured by the publication of evidence given before the House of Commons or its Committees ; but is that a sufficient reason for not giving to the public information which may be of the first im portance to the public welfare. If that is to be admitted why is the evidence given in Courts of Justice—which is often extremely injurious to the character of individuals—allowed to be published ? Why, but because it is upon the whole infinitely more beneficial that the proceedings of Courts of Justice should be laid before the public, than that they should be carried on in secret, notwithstanding any partial or private disadvantages attending the publication. As to the privilege in question being at variance with the law of that land, that seems to be the na ture of all privileges. It is contrary to the-law to commit a man to prison unless fie has- offended against it ; but let him refuse to appear at the bar of' the House of Commons when called upon by the Speaker, or let him, when there, refuse to answer a question put by a Member of Parliament, and he very speedily finds himself within the walls of Newgate. We have just glanced hastily over a pamphlet en titled " The Church Rate Bill Vindicated," which is the production of a gentleman - named SYMONS, and is singularly lucid, argumentative, and convincing in its character. At. the present moment, when so many specious sophistries are afloat oil the subject—when in genuity is made to supply the place of reasoning—and appeals are everywhere made by the High Church party to do, would stand culpable before GOD and man "..of the breach of one of the most saga(' of its obligations." He then proceeds to point out the exact position of the Cabinet with reference to the Church-rate question— that Ministers are not only informed that a large por tion or the produce of its lands is diverted from the Church, and enjoyed by Laymen ; but also that a vast body of the people who are prevented from profiting by the Ministry of the Established Church, on account of a dissent, originating in conscientious zotiv2,4rom its discipline and some of its d oc t r i ne s, lign . atidrfeasonably enough, that they be hence forth relieved from the payment of a small, but vexa tious impost, now levied on them for the repairs of, fabrics which they never enter.• Under these circum stances, continues Mr. SYMONS, " the emergency is palpable ; the duty of a prompt remedy imperative. The Government thus appealed to, anxious to restore peaCe where discord is perilous to the religion of tire land, and, on the other hand, determined that the just rights of the Church shall not be invaded, proceeds to investigate the case of the claimants." That case is found, after an impartial investigation, to be grounded on equity ; and the prods of this occupy the chief por.. tion of the pamphlet before us. The author is evi dently one who has been long familiar with the sub ject, for the marks of diligent reflection are visible in his every page. He does not write li l 7e a zealot, but like an enlightened citizen, who is anxious that the wrongs of ithe one party shall not be redressed to the detriment of the rights of the other, but that justice shall be awarded &pally to both. It is this tem perate and impartial tone that lend their chief' value to his opinions, which need only to be 'generally known, to be generally respected. He closes his observations with this impitssive passage, which has strict truth for ground-workits :— JCOnfident are we that the Government will not bate one jot of the righteous and stable ground it has assumed. May we not likewise hope that the in-dwelling spirit of truth and charity which abides in the Clergy of our Church must speedily cast off the hoodwinks whereby faction, in the mask of religion, leads captive its judgment'! Confident are we that all that is good and venerable and great in the Mi- nistry of the Establishment, will ere long be united on this great question with the principle and intelligence of the land, aiding justice in her victory over oppression, and reli gion in her emancipation from the bondage of uncharita- bleness. Till then, till truth shall have cast off the tram. mels of party—Church-rates will not be abolished. Like 'all measures of national good, this will be sacrificed on the altar of class interests, which now pervade and preside over every great question of right and wrong—which rive society to its centre—which subjugate principle to the dominance of policy—and render religion itself auxiliary to the demon of Parti." The French journals of Sunday, received to-day, announce, among other matters not so important, the marriage of- the Princess TERESA of Nassau with Prince PETER of Oldenburgh ; the determination of the French Court to go into mourning on the 15th, on the occasion of the death of her Serene Highness the Duchess Dowager of SAXE MEININGEN ; and the removal of the misunderstanding between the Com manders of the British and French fleets in the Tagus. On the subject of the amnesty the Constitutionnel has the following paragraph : We have the following letter from Doullens, of May 12 : " Yesterday the amnesty was carried into effect. There were 52 political prisoners in the prisons of Doullens. They were taken to the cabinet of the keeper of the prison, to declare, according to Art. 44 of the Penal Code, relative to surveil. lance, the place at which they chose to reside. Baune chose Lyons ; but he was told that Lyons, and six other cities, viz., Marseilles, Bourdeaux, Nantes, Toulon, Brest, Paris, and the whole of the departments of the Seine, could not be inhabited by any of the persona included in the amnesty. Baune then chose La Guillotiere, which is just at the gate of Lyons. The other Lyonese prisoners did the same. Five or six of those of the class of June have obtained leave to settle at Paris. Those to whom this was refused chose St. Germain, Longumeau, and other towns in the departments of the Seine and Oise, and of the Oise, in the vicinity of Paris. Dr. Beaumont, an English man, is the only one of the prisoners who would not conform to Art. 44 of the Penal Code. He refused to choose the place of his residence, and would not leave the Citadel on those terms ; but on the same day, at ten o'clock in the even ing, a post-chaise conveyed him, accompanied by two gens d'armes, to Calais, where he is to embark for England." The Royal Ordinance for the re-opening of the Church of St. Germain L'Auxerrois is generally ap proved of by the public press of every shade of opi nion. We copy from the Nouvelle Mi nerve the fol lowing interesting summary of the political gossip among the leaders of the Republi can party in the ca pital. It includes all that is of any moment in these journals, and, no doubt, will be read with a degree of lively interest. But what are all those political matters in compari son with the grand fetes to be given at Fontainebleau ? The Court is about to plunge into the vortex of pleasure of balls and amusements, and still the folks at the Tuileries don't seem quite content. It is at so much the dressing gown review, protected by exclusive measures, which has caused this air of sadness, as the refusal on the part of the high aristocracy to form a portion of the circle which is to receive and greet the young Princess Helena of Mecklen burgh. It is indeed rather galling not to be able to offer to her Royal Highness any other Maid of Honour than La Marchale Mouton-Lobau. Not a single little Duchess of the Faubourg St. Germain, however .frail and imperti nent in other respects, could be induced to offer her ser vices on this occasion. It is easy to imagine the state of chagrin and spite which such a predicament must cause. The whole of the noble faubourg is in open war against the affianced bride of the Duke of Orleans ; there is nvond of the epigrams and shameful calumnies ifert fitsely pouP,ed out upon the. Princess and her pretend&l high kneage ; and as the inspirations of the aristocratic faubourg find their way through the embassies, a good deal of alarm has been excited, and it is now more than ever certain that Europe has been thrown into an angry mood by this alliance. Two months since, when we announced the departure of M. Appony, it was denied by several parties,but time proves whether we were right or wrong. The Austrian Ambas sador leaves Paris in a few days, and we have strong rea sons for stating that he will not return—in fact, Prince Metternich has been lookinc , out for his, successor for the last six months. The spokesmen of the Camarilla say, that "itis a journey of business."

General Sebastiani has set out for London, and is the bearer of fresh instructions. We take upon ourselves to certify that the Camarilla is no longer so warmly attached to the English alliance. The instructions given to General Sebastiani are drawn u_p in _a decidedly continental spirit ; he is specially recommtnded to see ss often as possible his compatriot Pozzo di Borgo, who enjoyed such unlimited confidence when in Paris. This is a painful mission for General Sebastiani, far there exists a Corsican rivalry, and no one is ignorant of the extreme finesse of the Russian Ambassador when placed in juxta-p3sition with the great falling off of Gen. Sebastiani. Prince Talleyrand is at present cherished like a,ielic ;. is true he is no longer listened to, for there only -remains but a shadow of that wily diplomatist. The greatest at ,, tendon and respect is paid to him, and the most splen did apartment at Fontainebleau is being fitted up for the veteran courtier. It is curious enough to observe with what eagerness—we might almost say meanness—appli cations are sent in for apartments at the Chateau. 'rhe Royal Purveyors seem out of their wits. The Ministers are beset, on all sides, by anxious _ solicita Lions. Who knows? perhaps votes in favour, of the budgst will be procured by the promise of a small space in the buildings of Francis 1., and under the wainscot of the Priniatrice. France does not seem to know much of this strange mode of proceeding ; by the side of a strong onil great nation there eX:s.s a little people, which vegetates upon vain and silly trifles, and has no objection to barter its conscience for a Court favour. It is finally decided, that the church of St. Germain l'Auxerrois is to be restored to the Catholic worship. This is no doubt right, and we have no wish for perpetuatin7 the recollection of times of disturbance. But it would be satisfactory to know whether St. Germain-l'Auxerrois has been given up in consequence of a brief from the Pope, which made this act of reparation the condition of his granting a dispensation for the marriage of the Duke of Orleans to the Princess Helena. Tne fact is, that the adepts at the Tuileries boast that they are now on the best terms with the Pope ; his holy benediction has been ob tained, and the devotees of the 7th of August now only swear by Rome—a proceeding which does not seem quite consistent with the institutions of July. We copy from the City Article of a Min:steriai Morning Contemporary the following paragraph, with out, however, vouching for it accuracy. It is barely possible that a new light may have broken in upon the King of the FRENCH, since his refusal to fulfil the obligations imposed on him by the Quadruple Treaty ; but in spite of the amnesty we are rather incredulous upon this point. Active intervention on the part of France would speedily effect the deliverance of the Peninsula from the horrors of civil war ; and would go a greater length than a hundred matrimonial alliances, to give stability to the Monarchy of July. But we fear that the KING will not have the moral courage to renounce the line of foreign policy chalked out for him by M. GUIZOT and the other distinguished absolutists:— "It is confidently stated in quarters where the best in formation is usually obtained, that arrangements of a financial nature have been concluded in Paris in reference to Spain ; but as this is a subject of a very delicate nature at this moment, we refrain from repeating the current re ports for the present. It will, however be interesting to mention, that it is proposed to try the sincerity of the King of the French in regard to Spanish matters by soliciting his permission for Marshal Clause! to raise 25,000 men in France for the service of Queen Christino, and, as a marshal of France cannot act under foreign colours without the sanction of his Sovereign, the refusal or compliance may be considered as a sufficient test of the feelings of Louis Phillippe, especially as this amount of effective men could be easily raised from the number always disbanded from tho army at this period of the year, after their usual period of service. The impression which generally prevailed, that something important was on the eve of transpiring, caused considerable animation at the Stock Exchange, especially in the securities of the Penin sula, and a considerable improvement took place in them." By the Hope packet, which arrived at Falmouth on Sunday from the Tagus, we have received advices from Lisbon of the 7th instant. It appears from them that the far-famed Colonel JOSE DAS MANTAS, and some other Commanders of the National Guards, were endeavour ing to seduce the men under their command to enter into a conspiracy for resisting any change made by the Cortes in the Constitution of 1822. To save appear-. ances the men were to appear befyre the Chamber in the humble plight of petitioners, leaving to their fac tious leaders the pleasing task of enlightening Mi nisters upon the subject of the danger to be appre hended from any neglect of their prayer. 'We regret that the Governments of Portugal and Spain do not take more effectual measures for checking the insolence of these Praetorian bands, whose valour is but too often only conspicuous in the intimidation of wo men, and the dispersion of unarmed assemblages of peaceful citizens. Our life for it the greatest poltroons among them are the men that would soonest head an armed faction for the intimidation of the National COngress. Were these mailed patriots only half so good soldiers as they are Constitution-mongers—were they only half as valorous when opposed to an open enemy as they are brave when attacking women and Senators, Portugal would have little to fear from the partizans of Don MIGUEL, and Spain just as little from the aspiring ambition of Don CARLOS. We do not hold the opinion that the necessity for obedience in a soldier swallows up all the rights and obligations of the citizen—that a soldier is a mere military machine; bereft of will and responsibility, whose duty in no case extends beyond implicit obedience to the commands of a military superior. On the contrary,- we assert that there are primary rights and correspond ing, duties of which no man in society can divest him self, whether soldier or civilian ; and that when the liberties of a nation are in extreme peril, the duties of the civilian and the patriot are paramount to those of the soldier. But this is an extreme case, and does not apply to the conduct of the military mobs who would dictate to the national Legislatures of Portugal and Spain the modifications to be introduced in their re spective Constitutions. Such conduct is not only cowardly, mutinous, and morally disgraceful in itself, but it tends to unsettle the minds of the people—to sow the seeds of anarchy and distrust among them— to impress foreigners with an apprehension of the in stability of the supreme government, and consequently weaken public credit abroad, to the great injury of trade and commerce—and at last, by debauching the morals of all public men, to render the countries so cursed incapable of self government under any form. We understand that at a Cabinet Council held on the night of the 6th inst., which was attended by many influential Deputies, it was resolved to resist any attempt at intimidation on the part of the National Guards. The safest way of carrying such a resolution into effect would be, by removing all the officers who have attempted to seduce their men from their alle giance. Backed by the Chamber the Cabinet can adopt such a plan with the most perfect safety; for as yet the great bulk of the Guards are disposed not only to obey in their own persons, but to enforce uncon ditional obedience to the will of the National Repre sentatives. The other accounts from Lisbon are uninteresting in a political point of view. Ministers are greatly em barrassed for want of money, nor is there the slightest prospect of the coffers of the Treasury being speedily replenished. In the interior of the kingdom political disturbances had subsided, but the people were re duced to great wretchedness. The misunderstanding between the English and French Admirals in the Tagus has been entirely removed, to the great joy of the residents of both nations at Lisbon. The French Government received by telegraph on Sunday night the following intelligence from Bayonne and Perpignai:— " BAYONNE, e,MAY 12.—The Infant Don Sebastian quitted Hernani on the 11th with sixteen battalions. It is believed that he has taken the road to Ebro. Espartero has reviewed the whole Christino line, and excited the en thusiasm of his troops. The Carlists have not interrupted their works, but it appears probable that they will abandon Hernani without awaiting the attack." " PERPIGNAN, MAY 12.—0 n the 9th tranquillity was completely restored at Barcelona. Xandaro, formerly a refugee, and editor of thcf Catalan, was the leader of the late insurrection. He has been arrested, and condemned to death with two of his accomplices." ESPARTERO arrived at Situ Sebastian on the 9th inst., and was received, on landing from the steamer, by General EVANS, at the head of his staff, attended by the civil authorities of the town. The Generals em braced, and the meeting, on all sides, was conducted with apparent frankness and cordiality. ESPARTERO appeared in bad health, and as soon as he conve :.niently could, retired to his quarters. A few hours before the landing of ESPARTERO at San Sebastian, a courier arrived from . Madrid with despatches for General EVANS and Colonel WYLDE. He brought intelligence that MENDIZABAL had re mitted to Bayonne, for the use of the army, 10,000/. in cash ; 30,000/. more was to arrive at Santander on the 16th, and 40,000/., in bills on London, before the 10th of June. This is grateful news to the officers and men of the British Legion, who are now to receive their arrears in full. The Christinos have captured a vessel from Bour dcaux, bound for Lequitia, having on board 40,0001., 20,000 great coats, and 80,000 pairs of shoes, des tined for the Carlists. The vessel has been carried into Passages. • Operations on a grand scale may now be confi dently expected.

Mrs. Otway Cave intends giving a ball at her house in Park-lane, on Monday, June 12. _ Mr. Henry Thomas Hope entertained a large party at Deepdcne, in Surrey, on Sunday and yesterday. The remains of the Hon. Susan Penelope Copley were ou Friday last deposited in a temporary tomb in the ce metery of Montmartre, Parse, whence they are to be conveyed to England. The funeral was strictly private; nevertheless the carriage of Count Campuzano ( Spanish Ambassador), of Lord Canterbury, of the Princess Lieven, and of a few other distinguished individuals, followed the funeral car. Lord Lyndhurst, his sister, and his eldest daughter, left Paris for London on Saturday last. A marriage is announced between Miss Pakenham, the eldest daughter of the Hon. General and Mrs. Pakenham, and Sir Edmund S. Hayes, Bart., M. P. for the county of Donegal. The bride is a niece of the Duke of Wellington and the Earl of Roden, cousin to the Earl of Longford, the Marquis of Douro, and Viscount Jocelyn, and is related to se veral distinguished families in Ireland. Miss Pakenham will be among the debutantes at the next drawing room. Shortly after her presentation at Court, the solemnisation of the mar riage will take place. The Hon. General Pakenham, C. 8., and family are sojourning at Mivart's Hotel. Sir Edmund is in his 31st year, and has been a Member of three successive Parliaments. The Gravesend steamers took down not less than 3,000 passengers yesterday on pleasure excursions, and the fast and elegant Herne Bay steam-packets the City of Canterbury and Red Rover, carried large and respectable freights to that healthy watering-place. Lord Rosebery, Lord Melville, Sir J. G. Craig, and Mr. Richard Mackenzie, have given official intimation of their intention to resign the office they hold as trustees for the city of Edinburgh. Mrs. Lucas has issued cards for a ball on Monday, the 12th of June, in Langham•place. On Thursday, at the dinner given at the Merchant Tailors' Hall, on the occasion of the celebration of the anni versary of the Sons of the Clergy, the Lord Mayor, who pre sided, stated that the collection for the charity amounted to 1,0201. There were present upon the occasion—The Arch bishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of York, the Primate of Ireland, the Bishops of Winchester, London, Chester, Here ford, Bangor, St. Asaph, the Judges, &c. The following toasts were drunk Church and King," " The Queen," " The Duke of Cambridge, and the rest of the Royal Family." The Lord Mayor gave " The Archbishop of Canterbury." The Archbishop of Canterbury, in returning thanks, made several observations upon the necessity of supporting the insti tution, and congratulated the meeting upon the amount of the contributions just mentioned. The Chief Justice also eulo gised the institution; and the Lord Mayor, upon giving " The Corporation of the Sons of the Clergy," was loudly cheered. The inhuman practice which has of late prevailed to a great extent, of harnessing dogs to heavy loaded carts and trucks has excited the attention of the Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals. In consequence of Mrs. Smith, the wife of a rug-maker, at Kennington, having died of hydrophobia after having been bitten by a dog thus driven to madness, the Society have drawn up a petition to Par liament. In the early part of the present week, one of the blockade men belonging to the Dover station was found dead at the bottom of the Dover cliffs, between Dover and the blockade station. The unfortunate deceased was missing for several days previous ; and the impression was that he had deserted. An inquest was held on the body, when a verdict of Accidental Death was returned.—Dover Chronicle. • There was a fall of snow at Stamford on Wednesday afternoon, far about 20 minutes, and heavy rains for several hours.—Stamford Mercury. CAPTAIN CHANIIER'S NEW NAVAL STORY, " THE ArrErtiusA."—" We have just made another cruise with Captain Chamier," observes the Spectator, " in the Arethusa, a three decker, that will carry a press of sail, and will no doubt find a fair wind on every tack. As we read, the sofa seems to swing like a cot ; and when we get on our feet, the floor seenis pitching about like a cabin during a gale, and we hang on by the bell-puli as if it were a clew-line, bidding the servants shake out a reef in the mainsail, instead of draw the curtains. In plain shore-going English, the Arethusa is the name of a frigate, of which the hero is Alalta Murray. The narrative consists of a variety of exciting adventures at sea. The scenes on shipboard —such as the Middy's first taste of n Iva' discipline, and the practical jokes played off on the youngster ; a storm ; a boat lost at sea, the famishing crew ing mad with suffering ; a wreck ; a cutting out ; the ar rival of a new Captain ; a running fight and capture by a pirate; and a close engagement with a French frigate, a e descr bed with so much spirit and graphic force, that often ns we In ye been presented with similar incidents, they yet possess stirring interest." " The Arethusa" is one of the best Naval N n Is yet published, BOW-STREET-(THIS DAY•) CHARGE OF FORGERY.—Thomas Francis Carob attorney of the city of Waterford, who had been retro° on Tuesday fortnight, was again placed at the bar, ebarge. with forging a bond for 4201., purporting to bear the sign ; of \st a te tures of If. Winston Barron, M.P. for the city ford, and his brother, Phillip Barron, and also that o f Jell' Flynn, as a witness. Mr. Winston Barron requested of the Magistrate to 1 0 the prisoner transmitted to Waterford for trial, and in s u l i port of such application he produced a letter from P t Waring to whom the bond had been tittered, who stateu( that it would be totally out of his power to leave Irelai,(l to give evidence. Another letter was produced from . 1 ,°,. 3 Flynn, accompanied by a declaration made before the I, gistrates of Waterford, which stated that the signature his name attached to the bond was a forgery. Several papers which had been found in the possess; of the prisoner, and which related to other fr aud° In transactions, were ordered by the Magistrate to be sea up Mr and Barron into the custody of the officer. bli . Baron observed that nothing but a se nse of P u h duty would induce him to prosecute the prisoner, a s h e for years conducted his money matters ; and in CO of the great confidence he placed in him, bad been principal agent during two or three contested elections.o The prisoner made no reply, and was removed Pr e j i d s tory to his being transmitted'to Waterford gaol on r r u next, in the custody of Shackle, the officer of this e 5 blishment.
