The Tories are beginning to feel rather uneasy at the prospect of having their majority in the House of Lords considerably diminished at no very distant period. Adhesions, we understand, are coming in to leer MAJESTY'S Ministers from quarters on which the party have hitherto relied. This is of course an 4°Ying, if not dispiriting. But there is a still greater subject of apprehension to the faction in the addition Which is about to be made to the Peerage. We be lieve Ministers would, had they not been thwarted by the underhand and unconstitutional influence which lately prevailed at Court, have infused a considerable quantity of new and pure blood into the House of Lords. They have no such obstacle to contend against now ; and besides this, the commencement of a new reign affords an opportunity, such as the rankest Tory in the kingdom dares not cavil at, to comply with the Wishes of the people; for in doing so, her MAJESTY'S advisers are acting at once according to established °,eage, an d t h e d eman d s o f t h e Const i tut i on. H a d t h e ' r eetage remained in the state in which it was at the "cession of GEORGE lll.—had no new creations tak en place since that period—there would, at present, have been a considerable majority of the °4B e of Lords in favour of Reform. But the Go vernment having been for a l mos t th e w h o le of the in tervening time in the hands of the Tories, the honours of the Peerage have been, in the most profligate manner, prostituted to serve their party purposes—to establish the perpetuity of Tory domination—and of consequ ence to k eep a ll t h e good th i ngs fl ow i ng there from among the supporters o f th a t f ac ti on . It is now full tune that something should be clone to restore the equilibrium, which has been disturbed to such an e normous extent, and by such unconstitutional tne "s• By restoring the equilibrium, we mean creating such a number of Peers, as shall make the number of Liberal ones made since the corn- Illencement of the Reign of GEORGE the Third e qual to that of the Tory Ones created during the same * Pace of time. A Morning Contemporary would wi ela no political distinctions to - he observed in the new creation. This would be exceedingly agree able to the Hanoveri an p ar ty f or w h om h e scr ibbl es ; b ut he must be laughing in his sleeve at the gullibility of his rea d ers w h en h e puts forth such a suggestion. It , It would h ave b een more " germane to the matter, " I ‘ . ad h e ill ustrated h i s view by an appeal to precedent— had h e told us how many Whigs were raised to the Peer age on t h e accessions of GEORGE the Third, of ' 3 EORGE the Fourth, and of WILLIANI the Fourth. At the declaration of the North Derbyshire poll, Which was made on Thursday last at Bakewell, Mr. CAVENDISH, one of the successful candidates, in re turning thanks to his supporters, took the opportunity of :alluding to the flagrant, unconstitutional influences Which the Tories had brought to bear against him. They flattered—they bullied—they bribed—and were " continually worrying and teazing the electors, in every shape, to gain promises from them." The clergy Were particularly active in this just and holy work. " We have had," remarked the Hon. Member, .‘ the great majority of the clergy against us, who objected to . , givi ng me their votes, because, they said. the Fin fetrrles I ad*ocate would subvert and destroy the Este blu .rthshed C hurch, and therefore they could not con 3eouely support me. lam certainly sorry, though _ m do not complain, that they have made such objec „k"s• :My pri nc i p l es are the same as those of the Duke of DEVONSHIRE ; but when they solicit livings THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY. AUGL ST 16, 1837. from his Grace, I do not find that they allow their consciences to interfere with their interests. Their consciences have the power of expansion when their own interests are concerned ; but when I solicit a favour of them, their consciences have the power of contraction." This is hard hitting, but the Tory parsons deserve it, and much more ; for, not withstanding their incessant professions of meekness, piety, and forbearance, they have been everywhere fore most, during the present e!ections, in stirring up the smouldering embers of intolerance, and inflaming the worst passions of the community. To accomplish their aims they have not hesitated to give circulation to the most unfounded calumnies, taking for granted, with the Jesuits of old, that the end sanctifies the means. If the Church be in danger, it is these Tory parsons that endanger it, who, not content with stirring up strife in their respective districts, for six days in the week, must needs devote the Sabbath also to this truly Christian occupation. Mr. CA VENDISH'S colleague (Mr. EVANs) emphatically alluded to this circumstance in his speech from the hustings, and "deprecated in strong terms such a profanation of the Sabbath." And yet the men who thus desecrate that day which they, of all others, are bound to keep holy, are the same who are constantly complaining of the irreligion and immorality of the poor, and regard Sir ANDREW AG NEW's Sunday Starvation Bill as a measure of the most imperious necessity ! For this state of things there - is no remedy that we know of but the Ballot. Give us but the sure protection of the Ballot ; and the Tory parsons, having no longer a motive for intermeddling with matters that do not concern them, will be compelled to be quiet, in spite of themselves. To the Ballot, sooner or later, we must come—that is to say, if Reform is to be a substance, not a sha dow—and the sooner, therefore, we obtain it the better. " I think, Gentlemen," observed Mr. CA.. VENDISII, " you will agree with me in my opinion of the miserable expedients to which the Tories have had recourse ; and I will ask you what you think of the man who was base and unprincipled enough to come forward three several times to personate an in dividual named WALLACE of Belper ? But BO it was, Gentlemen. A man actually came forward three several times, and voted in the name of that person !" If damning facts like these, which might be multiplied ad infinitum, do not convince Ministers that the time for the concession of the Ballot—or at any rate for mak ing it an open question—has arrived, the people's opi nion of their sagacity will be greatly changed from what it has hitherto been. The news from the Peninsula received this morning is highly interesting. After all the vapouring of Es- PA RTERO and DE MEER, Segovia was taken by the Carlists on the 4th, and New Castile is now proclaimed in a state of siege ! The following telegraphic de spatches were received on Monday by the French Government : 44 MADRID, B—BAYONNE, 12.—8 y a royal decree of the Gth, Madrid is declared in a state of siege, on account of the proximity of the enemy, who, after the capture of Se govia and its castle, have not carried further their demon strations against the capital, where there remains perfect tranquillity, which it is hoped will not be disturbed. " The Ministry was severely attacked in the Cortes on the 7th. A motion against it was rejected by 76 against 53 votes ; but a partial modification of the Cabinet is con sidered imminent." " BORDEAUX, AuG. 12.—The Carlist expedition, which had passed the Duero the Ist, entered Segovia the even ing of the 4th, the castle capitulating during the night. Captain• General Vigo, not haying arrived in time to save Segovia, was on the evening of the sth at Santa Maria de Vieva. New Castile was declared to be in a state of siege. News from Madrid of the 7th mentions that the enemy had quitted Segovia, though there were no fears for the capital. " Llangostera had attacked Mora de Ebro, but retreated from its on the night of the sth. a division having arrived from Catalonia on the left bank." " On the 4th the Pretender was at Mirambel, Oraa and Espartero following his movements. The former was, on the 4th, at Morella, and the second at Torre de los N egros. " BAYONNE, Auo. 12.—Three o'clock, p.m.—The insur gents commanded by Elio [Zariategui ?], and consisting of 5,000 infantry and 220 cavalry, entered Segovia on the 3d, and took the direction of St. Ildefonso and the Escurial. General Vigo was at the distance of eight leagues from Segovia. The Pretender is still in the environs of Can tavieja. Espartero entered Daroca on the 6th with his troops. " NARBONNE, AUG. 14.---PERPIGNAN, AUG. 13.—Let ters from Barcelona of the 11th state that the Baron de Meer, after having occupied his ancient position on the line of Molina del Rey a Igualada, left Martorel on the 9th for San Sadurni. Thu mobilization of the national guards from eighteen to forty :years of age, decreed by the now junta, meets with opposition. The provincial juntas of Lerida, Gerona, and Tarragona refuse to recog nize the authority of the central junta." Every movement of the Spanish belligerents ex poses more and more the contemptible charlatanism of the QUEEN'S Generals. ESPARTERO and ORA A, with an overwhelming numerical force, have been for weeks together almost within sight of the Pretender, and yet they have not prevented the pillage of a single village, much less compelled him to come to a general engagement. They have amused their troops with reviews, and long-winded MUNCH AUSEN speeches of battles never to be fought, and victories never to be won, and ended with the dispatching of couriers to report rigmarole accounts of their marches and counter-marches to the Government. It is enough to make one's blood boil with indignation to peruse the letters which we daily receive recounting the mis doings of the military scoundrels upon whom the Government is hourly showering bribes and distinc tions to induce them to do their duty—for it is a farce to call such gratuities rewards, unless, indeed, we call them rewards for the non-performance of mi litary exploits. When Bilboa was first besieged by the Carlists we took occasion to censure the culpable apathy of the QUEEN'S Generals; and we remember particularly singling out ESPARTERO as an officer whose conduct merited indignant reprobation. When by the gallantry of the British Marines, ESPARTERO was in some sort compelled to save Bilboa, and the Carlists, in the me morable and expressive language of the Tory corres pondent of a Tory journal, were forced " to cut their stick," our liberal contemporary the Chronicle took prodigious pains to whitewash the military reputation of the newly-created Count De LUCHANA. We were blamed for suspecting the fidelity and ability of a General who, after hunting RANELAGH and HUM PHRIES from before Bilboa, had the exceeding mo desty to acknowledge the British soldiery as among the finest in the world. Well it is now some eight months since the relief of Bilboa ; EsPA RTERO has been since that time placed at the head of the army, with the whole executive power of the war department at his disposal ; and now let us ask what does the Chronicle think of his fidelity, and his generalship ? Has our contemporary the same confidence in the valour, tem pered by discretion, of the Bilboa hero ? To these questions the Chronicle of this morning supplies an ex plicit answer. 'We quote from its leading columns : " Commands and ministries have been given to Espar tero ; everything that could bribe a General to activity in the Constitutional cause ; and yet, though immediately upon Don Carlos, and with 15,000 men in the immediate vicinity of his stronghold of Cantavieja, Espartero marches away in pursuit of Quilez and some 2,000 vagabonds. Nothin g is more evident than that Espartero is incapable and unwilli ng to terminate the war, and that the Ministry in its weakness has been flattering him, as it did Rodil, to the same end, that of merely prolonging the war. The Carlist party has evidently lived a nd grown by the imbe cility, or worse, of the Generals opp osed to them. And until a Liberal Government can appl ysome remedy to this, they must expect to continue the , 1' -stock of Europe and Don Carlos, and subject, as th du ) ° L . u s ' e g rve,.to ,, the impa tience and insurrection of the people e of Madrid. The Spanish Government is not ignorant of the hollowness of ESPA RTERO' S p ro f ess i ons ; b u t those members of it who would vote for his removal from the command of the army are afraid of determining upon such a step. They tried first to disgust him by communicating all military instructions to him through General ORAA, his subordinate in command, and, moreover, an officer for whom he is known to entertain sentiments of personal dislike ; but that failed. The Commander-in-Chief was in a towering passion, but he took care to avoid everything like a threat of re signation. He was next elevated to the War De partment, in the hope that he would repair to the capital, where Ministers could deal with him apart from the army ; but here again they failed as sig nally as before. In a word the Government, as now modified and controlled, cannot help itself, and in the excess of its weakness is grateful when its servants do not betray it. For this evil the Cortes only can supply an effectual remedy ; and were the Members of the Cabinet to make the Chamber fully acquainted with the difficulties they experience, that Assembly would bestir itself more actively in defence of the liberties of the Spanish nation. But to crown the mischief, the Ministers are, one and all, in love with their places ; and to retain them, they culpably conceal facts with which it is of the utmost importance that the Cortes should be made officially acquainted. To keep up the monarchical farce of the mystery which conceals from vulgar eyes the official machinery of the chief Executive Administration, and to keep themselves in office, they pursue a line of policy which threatens Spain with the infliction of an interminable civil war. Reports reached Madrid on the 6th that Segovia had been pillaged for several hours by the Carlist troops, who quitted the town laden with booty, and glutted with the commission of the vilest excesses. The Governor of LA GRANJA had taken to his heels, al though no enemy had appeared to cause him the slightest alarm. The Escurial has been put in a state of defence, and troops had left Madrid to protect both the village and Royal residence of Aranjuez. The whole of the Paris journals of Monday have been received. They contain no domestic news of any interest. Previous to his departure for Africa, the Duke de NEMOURS proposes to remain for a short time at Brighton. No motive is assigned for his Royal Highness' visit to England. The Royal Family continue to pass their time very agreeably in Normandy. The following brief extracts are from the French journals : According to the news which we have received from the theatre of war, the expedition of the Ebro, after the cap ture of Segovia, has continued its march towards Madrid, less perhaps with the intention of making any serious at tempt on that capital than in order to excite alarm, and oblige the Queen-Regent and her Ministers to remove the seat of Government to some other place. However this may be, this rapid movement of the little army engaged in this expedition may have the immediate effect of compelling Espartero to go himself or to send troops to Madrid. Charles V., being relieved from the presence of a part of the enemy's forces, will then be master of his movements. AUGUST 14.—The two telegraphic despatches, published in the Moniteur this morning, confirm the above reports. —Gazette de France, Aug. 14. There is no official article in the Moniteur this morning. Our correspondent at Toulon writes, on the 10th : " The squadron under the command of Rear-Admiral Gallois is making, in all haste, preparations to depart. This squadron is to proceed immediately to the Levant ; it is thought that the ships of which it is composed will weigh anchor by the end of the week. The precipitate departure of this squadron is partly, as it seems, in con sequence of the death of Captain Rabaudy, commanding the Triton man-of-war, and the Levant Division. We have just learnt the death of that officer, who would shortly have been promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral." — Cons tit u tio nue/. By going to Daroca, General Espartero withdraws from Cantavieja, and approaches Calatayud. It is not stated for what purpose this movement is executed, but the result of it is, that Don Carlos has before him only the half of the combined forces which kept him in check, and that the temporary concentration of these forces, and of all the Generals, before Cantavieja, has produced nothing. We see with pain that the apprehensions which we expressed yesterday are realized ; as for Madrid, we do not think it is seriously threatened.—Journal des Debats. FRENCH FUNDS—Faille, AUGOST 14.

On Tuesday afternoon, William Heard, and Wil liam Hilliard, two labourers, were employed with others reaping at Widford Hall, and whilst joking together, Heard called out to Hilliard " Come Blinkey, look out Blinkey," a nick-name by which he is known. Hilliard di rectly with an oath said, " if you offer to come nigh me I'll cut your b— ribs out." Heard then, throwing down his- sickle, went over to Hilliard's stretch, when Hilliard knocked him down with his fist, and on his attempting to rise inflicted a dreadful wound in his neck with a sickle. Not content with this brutal conduct, Hilliard continued to beat Heard with his fists, until other labourers came to his assistance. He has been apprehended, and stands committed for further examination. Heard, we under stand, lies in a very precarious state.—Essex Herald. It is our painful duty to record that the body of a man, who recently wrought here as a cooper, was found in the neighbourhood of the farm of Shorelands. It appears that the individual in question, having been seized with a fever, was turned out of his lodgings, and being a stranger in the place, without friends, and we believe without money, finding himself turned adrift on the world in a dying state, wandered out of the town about three miles, when, quite exhausted, he lay down on a hay-rick and expired.-IVerth ern Star. A Scotch bagpiper travelling in Ireland, opened his wallet by a wood side and sat down to dinner ; no sooner had he said grace, but three wolves came about him. To one he threw bread, to another meat, till his provender was all gone. At length.he took up his bagpipes, and began to play, at which the wolves ran away. " The deel faw me," said Savvney, " an' I had kenned you loved music so, you should have had it before dinner." Three gentlemen being at a tavern, whose names were Moore, Strange, and Wright ; said the last, " There is but knave in company, and that is Strange." " Yes," answered Strange, " there is one Moore." " Ay," said Moore, " that's Wright." PHARISA Ism : J-1 cannot see two sawyers work at the pit, but they put me in mind of the Pharisee and the Publican ; the one casts his eye upward, whilst his actions tend to the pit infernal ; the other standing with a dejected countenance, whilst his hand and heart move upward. 'Tis not a shame to make shew of our profession, so we truly possess what we make shew of ; but of the two, I had ra ther be good, and not seem so, than seem good, and not be so. The Publican went home to his house rather justified than the Pharisee.— Wa rw i c k - Alady who was in the h a bit o f spen di ng muc h o f her time in the society of her neighbours, happening one day to be taken suddenly ill, sent her husband in great haste for a physician. The husband ran a few roods and then returned, exclaiming, " My dear, where shall I find you when 1 get back ?" FEMALE HEROISM.—Mrs. Ramsey, (says Mrs. Piozzi), whom I knew to be a most extraordinary, steady minded, and gentle-mannered woman, was one night ex tremely ill. She called up her confidential maid-servant to her bed-side, and, whispering in a low tone, said, " Jan e , I am d y i ng, b at make no noise, because, i f you d o, Mr. R a m sey w ill b e awoke. You know that w h en h is slumb ers are b roken he grows nervous, and cannot go to sleep aga i n ; but do you l ea v e me no w, and come in at the u sua l h our i n the. morning ; you w i l l fi n d me d ea d , and he will hare had his usual allowance of sleep." She died as was anticipated. Question for a Tea-table Debating Society Did Mrs. Ramsey care one fig about Mr. Ramsey ?" A terrible storm broke over Brussels one night last week, the rain fell in tomcats, the sky seemed to be on fire, the claps of thunder were incessant, the torrents of rain increased after each clap. A person was thrown down by the cJiicussion of the pavement by the effects of the light ning, which, it is said, was lifted from the ground in many part 4 of the city. In one of the latest numbers of the Constantinople G a:cite is an e di c t o f th e S u lt an , b y w hi c h t h e f ree exporta tion of corn from Turkey is permitted.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant ARAM.) STEALING NEWSPAPERS.—Two lads of the names of Mills and Cormack were convicted of stealing newspapers, the property of their master, the respectable newsvendor, Mr. Thomas, of Finch-lane, Cornhill. The boys were in the employ of Mr. Thomas, for the purpose of co - :ring the newspapers to his different customers, among whom was Mr. lzant, an eating-house-keeper, in Bucklershury. The boys h a d.t a k en t h e papers to the eustcm!rs in tie morning, and fetched them away in the evening without giving their master any intimation of it.—Joigment de ferred. (Before the Lord Chief Justice DENMAN and Mr. Ju•fce WILLIAMS.) William Gilbeit, a sawyer, aged 20, was indicted 'or assaulting Ann Pike, and stealing a bag and 2s. from her person, on the 11th of July. It appeared from the statements of the prosecutrix that she was in King William-street, in the City, on the night of the llth of July, when Gilbert came up to her and stole her reticule, containing a lawn pocket handkerchief and 2s. The case was clearly proved, and the prisoner found guilty. DiSPEItATE ASSAULT.—Richard Fisher, aa fellow, aged twenty, was indicted for aiding an d a b ett i ng his brothr, Charles Fisher, to commit a rape on Elizabeth Barlow, a married woman. From the statements of the prosecutrix, it appeared that on the 19th of May last she had occasion to go to Strat ford, for some money that was due to her husband, a silk dyer. On her return she lost her way at West Ham, and meeting with the prisoner and his brother, she asked her way of them. They told her they were going in the same direction, and would s h ow h er . Th ey had proceeded as far as the Harrow bridge, when the prisoner's brother Charles threw her down. The prisoner put his hand upon her mouth to prevent her from screaming, and Charles effected his object, the prisoner all the while holding his hand upon her mouth. Afterwards the prisoner said to the prosecutrix, " Mind I have not done anything ;" to which she replied, " I'll mark you." The prosecutrix then pro ceeded to the first house, knocked them up, and told the proprietor, a Mr. Jeffries, what had taken place ; he pro ceeded with her to the station-house. She did not reach her home till nearly twelve o'clock. The prosecutrix, in a long cross-examination by Mr. PAYNE, denied that she had ever agreed to compromise the matter for 2/. ; but acknowledged that she had been drink ing with a sawyer named Richard, but she was perfectly sober at the time. William Jeffries, a labourer, residing near the river Lea, confirmed the statement of the prosecutrix, that he accom panied her to the station•house. The prosecutrix appeared greatly frightened. Her clothes were very dirty, and she was crying very much. Several other witnesses were examined ; and Mr. PAYNE addressed the Jury on behalf of the pri soner calling upon the Jury to weigh most cautiously the evidence that had been given against the prisoner. Lord Hale had stated that accusations of this nature " were easily made, hard to be proved, but still more hard to be defended, although the party against whom they were made might be never so innocent." The Learned Counsel, after strongly commenting upon the evidence that had been ad duced, concluding by expressing a hope that the Jury would acquit the prisoner. Mrs.Winnaker, Denzel-street, with whom the prosecutrix had previously lodged, stated that she did not consider her a chaste woman. She came in at all hours of the night, and was never sober. Witness had taken out a warrant against the prosecutrix for striking her, and she would not believe her upon her oath, in consequence of the numberless falsehoods she had told. The prosecutrix left the witness's house on bad terms with her. The husband of the last witness gave similar evidence. He considered the prosecutrix the worst woman he ever saw. The prosecutrix here said that Mrs. Winnaker had given the policeman an excellent character of her. Mrs. Winnaker was recalled, and denied that she had given the prosecutrix a good character. The policeman stated that Mrs. Winnaker said to him that the prosecutrix was a poor harmless thing, and she hoped she would not appear against a poor fellow, as she would not do it. Afterwards she wanted to make the prose cutrix out a bad one, but her husband told her to hold her tongue, or he would knock her down. She said something about the prosecutrix being out late. Mr. Justice WILLIAms summed up the case to the Jury, who, after retiring for nearly an hour, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The ,prisoner's brother Charles was tried last session, found Guilty, and received sentence of Death, which was afterwards commuted to transportation for life. NEW COURT. There were only four Mint prosecutions on the Calendar, which were disposed of this morning before the Common Sergeant. Thomas E, le was indicted for embezzling the sum of Is. 6d., the property of his master, a miller.—Not Guilty. John Lear, the commander-in-chief and legal adviser of the Strand " prigs," was indicted for stealing a silk hand kerchief from the person of Henry Augustus Thompson, Esq., Barrister-at-Law. The prosecutor was passing near Savoy-street about 11 o'clock at night, when the handkerchief was dexterously abstracted. Ho followed the prisoner up Burleigh-street, and never lost sight of him till he was taken into custody. The prosecutor's handkerchief and a number of others, tied one over another round his neck, were found upon him. The prisoner cross-examined the witnesses with great ingenuity, but was found Guilty. Henry Wilson, who had been previously in the House of Correction, was indicted for stealing an anvil, the property of Richard Ellis.--Guilty. The Learned SERGEANT intimated to the prisoner that be should certainly be sent out of the country. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—A new piece by Buck stone, under the startling title of Love and Murder, was produced last night. The situations of this piece are droll enough, and the plot is very novel and ingenious, but why such an ultra-broad farce is called a comedy (as it is in the bills), and why the characters, whose dialogue is in the style of the very middling-class of life, are represented as moving in the first circles, are mysteries not easily to be unravelled. In short, the piece was an entertaining extravaganza, and, being supported by the very first actors, who all played in their very best manner, could hardly fail of meeting with the decided success which was its lot. This is the anniversary of the massacre at Man chester. Sixteen years have now elapsed since the com mission of this Tory outrage—since a deadly onslaught was made by Tory orders on a population peacefully assembled to petition for their rights. It is an instructive momento, and one that ought frequently to be held forth to remind the people what atrocities may be expected in the uncontronled saturnalia of Tory power. RAILROADS IN FRANCE.—AII experimental trip has been made on the 30th of July, on the new rail-road from Paris to St. Germain, the only one yet constructed in the neighbourhood of the French metropolis. The public opening of the railroad has been fixed for the 15th of this month. The projected railroad to Versailles is considered likely to be a far more profitable speculation, since the daily number of passengers from Versailles to Paris has latterly increased from fourteen or fifteen hundred to eleven or twelve thousand. The French, however, are far behind their Belgian neighbours in this particular species of enter prise. WEST-RIDING RIOT—The inquest which sat on the body of Mr. Carter returned a verdict of manslaughter against some person or persons unknown, during the riot on Monday, the 31st of July. The result of the inquest upon the body of Mr. Carter, who lost his life in the affray at the West Riding nomination, has not surprised us, so far as the verdict is concerned ; but the refusal to hear the evi dence of the Yellows, after that of the Blues had been so patiently listened to, has not a little astonished us. We shall not, however, offer any comment, at present ; but merely observe that this refusal not only destroys the force of all the Tory evidence against the Liberals, as to the riot, but it does more, it manifests a fear lest that evidence should be overthrown by the statements of the other side.—Halifax Express. AN ANECDOTE ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE ABSO LUTt POWER POSSESSED BY AFRICAN KINGS.—King Gun had accidentally received a wound in the arm from one of two boys who were playing with cutlasses. This boy threw his cutlass at the other. Gun happened to be passing the corner of the street at tho same time, and received the point of the cutlass in his arm. The boy was immediately seized, and begged and entreated mercy to no purpose. A council was held, and the boy was condemned to die. His hands were tied behind him, and his throat being delibe rately cut, he was left to bleed to death.—Laird's Narra tive of the last Expedition into central Africa. Two new steam-boats, the Commerce de Lille, of 100, and the Marechal de Villars, of 120 horse power, will commence running regularly between the ports of Dunkirk and Havre from the 20th of next month. The passage will be made in from 15 to 18 hours. The ship New York having met with injury at sea, put into Ramsgate for repair last week. She had ISO steerage passengers, who, in consequence of the delay, had consumed their provisions. Mr. Montefiore, the High Sheriff elect, and his amiable lady took a deep interest in alleviating their necessities. On Saturday this estimable couple entertained nearly 40 of the passengers, who were of the Jewish persuasion ; shared their choicest wines, and waited on their guests themselves, instead of suffering their servants to do so. A fund is being raised to provide all ne cessaries for the voyage, COURT CIRCULAR.

Newland (green) PREPARATIONS FOR THE RECEPTION OF THE QUEEN AT WINDSOR.—The inhabitants of Windsor, wish ing to celebrate her Majesty's first arrival at her Castle of Windsor, resolved to address a letter to Colonel Caven dish, to ascertain when it would please her Majesty to visit it. They then, it is said, resolved upon the following pro gramme of their intended proceedings on the joyful occasion.
