SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The hopes raised the other day of a decisive blow about to be struck against the Pretender in North Spain have vanished with the last news. We have long been told of the impossibility of the forcing the insurgents to a battle on fair terms in the mountainous region of the province in which they are in the ascendant. But here Don Carlos, his forces, and his mock Court were found in Aragon, in the plain, in the midst of a country not favourable to him. He was inclosed in a town, surrounded by forces at least equal to his own, yet he has been allowed to escape, and to pass a large river into the mountains of Cata lonia, where such an opportunity may not soon again occur. We are not prune to cast the impu tation of treason on persons and events with which even those on the spot find it difficult to be thoroughly acquainted. Oraa is an old and a cau tious General, infinitely more cautious even than Espartero, around whose neck he was a very mill-stone during the operations which terminated in the relief of Bilboa. Oraa knew his troops, of whom those brought from Valencia are little to be depended on. To attack the Carlists with them in the town of Barbastro he certainly would not et tempt after the failure of Iribarren at Huesca. But he has even shrunk from keeping a strict blockade, from famishing them, and thus forcing the Carlists to make a desperate attack upon some one of the surrounding divisions. Neither Carlists nor Chris tinos will make a desperate attack of this kind unless they are forced to it; and each party seems to have it for a maxim not to force its antagonist to any such extraordinary efrorts. Oraa, accordingly, has made a bridge for the enemy in another province ; and it is only those that understand a little of the Spanish mode of warfare who can refrain from attributing such conduct to treason. Espartero, it seems, instead of pushing any force after the Pretender, has turned back towards Estella. Oraa may have continued to blockade the Carlists in expectation of Espartero coming up to his aid, and may have abandoned it on learning that Espartero refused to quit Navarre altogether, and venture with his whole force in pursuit of the Pretender's expedition. Espartero was perhaps right in refusing to withdraw his whole force from Navarre, where the breaking up of the British Legion might lease a very weak division of 10,000 men, insufficient to defend the line of Hernani. The Commander-in- Chief might, however, have made a march upon Bar bastro, or dispatched six or eight battalions, to make Oraa decidedly superior to the Carlists. This, indeed, was the intention with which he undertook his late march, purposing himself to turn from Pampluna upon Estella, and clear the Borunda and the vicinity of the Ebro of the scattered bands which infest them. The fall of Lerin must have rendered this still more requi site. The conclusion from all this is, that the pre sent campaign is likely to be productive of nothing decisive. The best judges consider the expedi tion to Catalonia to he a foolish enterprise on the part of Don Carlos. He has no partisans in Cata lonia who are not already armed, already acting in bands ; and any attempt to organise them in a more regular army would diminish their efficiency, and prove, as it has always proved, an utter failure. As to a march on Madrid, the Pretender would no more attew:)t it than he would attempt a general action, ex cept with very superior numbers, and these he cannot muster. The Queen's troops are numerous, well armed, well supplied. Whltevcr may be the difficulty of procuring money at Madrid, Espartcro and his soldiers want for nothing ; and immense credit is due to M. - 24 , 1hlinbal for the activity and attention lie 11, - is pad to this point. The Spanili Constitutional Ge nerals have under their command an ample force to frustrate and repel any serious attempt on the part of the Carlists. But, on Cie other heed, it must be ad mitted that such is tha nature of this army and its Generals, that no decisive blow or victory is to be ex pected from it or them. They will at most prolong the war, which, if left to Spaniards merely, may last this fifty, nay, this hundred, years.—illorn. Chronicle. As a friend and master—as a husband and father— as a man, and as the Sovereign of a free people—King 'illiam IV. has excited in a powerful manner the sympathies of every honest Englishman, by the very serious nature of the malady under which, for some weeks past, lie has been suffering—we fear we might with truth► say, sinking—for greatly is it to be appre hended, that whatever changes may have occurred in the personal condition of his Majesty, they cannot be regarded as on the side of convalescence. To speak frankly our own feelings, both of lively alarm and of deep and (with all deference) affectionate concern, we acknowledge ourselves to be hopeless of any but one—and that the least cheering —result of the malady, or complication of maladies, which has of late op pressed the frame of the kind and good King William. Nor, so far as human judgment can determine, do we understand that there exists the least rational ground for conjecturing that the event will be long postponed. Intermediate matters being, therefore, of compara tively second-rate importance, the question which forces itself on every mind gifted with the slightest forethought is, what will be the position of this country should it please Providence to deprive us of the reign ing Sovereign ? The presumptive heiress to the crown is a Princess, we believe, of no ordinary promise. She is said to be a young lady of much excellence of dis position, of much natural discernment, and, what is ines:im able when accompanied by good sense, much of that strength and firmness of character which eminently distinguished, in the brightest periods of his life, one of her illustrious ancestors, who sat upon the throne of England —we mean the paternal grand father of her Royal Highness—the upright and un bending George 111. How far the native endow ments of the Princess Victoria may have been un proved by a judicious and generous culture it is not for us to pronounce. We are bound to hope that those who were either nominally intrusted with the educa tion of a young personage destined to fill a station so exalted, and, what is a subject of far wider interest, to discharge functions so grave and manifold, and to sus tain a responsibility so awful, or if not the nominal depositories of such a trust, we are to hope at least that those who may have substantially superseded them in their office, and taken upon themselves the practical communication to her youthful mind of that knowledge by which it ought to have been diligently furnished, and of those various habits and attainments which are not ornamental merely, but indispensable to him or her who wears a crown—we must hope, we say, that those persons, whoever they were, may have endeavoured conscientiously to stamp upon her heart, not alone the feminine, but the royal virtues, and to have opened the spirit of the future Queen of England to the breadth and grandeur of her fast-approaching obligations, po litical as well as moral. In referring to that course of bringing up which would be best adapted to the formation of a British Sovereign, we beg to disclaim ail design whatever of insinuating as a matter of fact, that justice has not been rendered to the Princess Victoria by those to whom her Royal Highness had the most undoubted right to demand it. We do de voutly pray that those persons may be found to have conducted her education, and, as an essential portion of it, her intercourse with society, under a noble and lofty regard to her fitness for the duties of a Queen of England, apart from all mean and selfish considerations of what might most contribute, by and by, to their own aggrandisement or indulgence. It is manifest that the same attainments .which might tend to make an accomplished woman in private life must be wholly insufficient for a Queen Regnant of Great Britain. A person of her illustrious rank and trying func tions ought to be prepared in early life to think for herself—to form, under difficult circumstances, prompt and independent resolutions—to employ her own dis. cernment upon the characters of all around her—to take nothing upon trust ; she ought to be influenced by her elders through reason rather than coercion—to be taught how to detect the deceitful, to keep the pre sumptuous aloof, to hold intriguers in abhorrence. She ought to be treated even, while a child, with an eye to her early maturity. Above all this, she ought not, after her approach to womanhood, to be made the sub ject of jealous or vexatious restraint, or be continued in a state of narrow pupillage after she had reached that position wherein she might be called upon for the exercise of a responsible will, of a disciplined judg ment,- and an enlarged intelligence. Much of the sound or unsound which may have predominated in the moral and intellectual training of this illustrious 1 and most interesting Princess will soon, according to all human appearances, be brought into extensive ac tion, and lie exposed to universal observation. She has a mighty but honest and tolerant people to pro pitiate. She has a glorious political edifice wherein to shelter herself, and to secure protection for others. She will not' justify the historian in recording that the British Monarchy has perished with William IV., or that the best interests of the reformed religion through out this realm have by the successor of King William been abandonrd and betrayed. May that Providence through whom Kings reign, and Princes decree jus tice, direct, support, and prosper her.—Times. It is our gratifying duty this day to record another Conservative manifestation, of greater importance and value than any which the metropolis has yet exhi bited ; we allude to the festival of the City of London ConsGcvative Association, for a full and accurate de scription of which, together with a faithful report of the eloquent speeches delivered on the occasion, we refer to another part of our paper. We could almost wish that some of those sceptics, or those perverse and hypocritical pretenders rather, who affect to doubt the existence of a powerful re-action in the political mind and temper of the people of this country had been pre sent yesterday in the immense pavilion erected for the accommodation of the Conservatives of the city of London, and which, capacious as it is, scarcely sufficed to contain the multitudes of respectable and influential men who crowded it in every part—we could have wished, we say, that these sceptics, real or pretended, had been present, that their doubts might at once have been removed, or then obstinacy and Ailful unbelief have been put to open shame, were it not that they would too probably have interrupted the effusions of eloquence, and truth, and loyalty which their unhappy state of mind must unfit them to enjoy, and have marred the generous enthusiasm which they could not partake. It will be recollected that, about the same petiod of the last year, the Conservative Association of the city of London held its first public festival. On that occa sion it was thought, and justly thought, a great triumph of the Conservative cause, that it could draw together an assemblage as numerous as could conve niently be accommodated in Covent-garden . Theatre. That Has, indeed, a numerous and splendid assembly, and it afforded a clear and unquestionah'e proof, that the reaction had not only commenced, but had already made considerable progress. The number who dined at the festival last year was, if we recollect right, about 1,000. But what a giant stride in the onward pro gress of Conservatism h as been made since the festival of last year I There is now no theatre or other building in the metropolis sufficiently spacious to receive the multitudes who rush to place themselves, in the face of the world, under the Conservative banner. The Conservatives of the City of London cannot now meet at all, or must ne2t slum of their fair, proportionr, unless a building be erected for the purpose of receiv ing their accumulated numbers. We find the 1,000 gentlearen who met at Covent-T . arden multiplied in the space of a single year into 2,500. If, as seems most probable, this increase of numbers should pro ceed in an undiminished ratio, it becomes a matter of anxious inquiry whether it will be physically possible next year to enclose and roof in a space sufficiently large for the accommodation of a general meeting of the Conservatives of the City of London. And is it not, as some of the speakers finely and justly remarked, an extraordinary and an intolerable thing that the mul titude of citizens of which we yesterday witnessed the magnificent arra)", a multitude comprehending so large a proportion of the wealth, intelligence, and respec tability of the City of London, should be without a single representative of their political opinions in that House of Parliament which, according to the Con stitution of England, ought to represent the people? This, we may venture to say, is a state of things too unnatural and monstrous to be permanent. The meet ing of yesterday proves that the Conservatives of the City of London can, if they will, return at the next election three at least out of the four Members which that city gives to the House of Commons ; and we hope we do not reason rashly when we conclude from the spirit displayed at this meeting that they will if they can.-111o7ning Post. There is nothing carries off the shame of a dis graceful act, and serves even to screen its enormity, so much as cool effrontery in its perpetration. By the exercise of this audacious self-possession the most scandalous acts have been frequently committed with out detection, or when detected have escaped with im punity in the amazement excited by the imperturbable impudence evinced in their accomplishment. It is this daring assurance which has enabled impostors of all kinds to practise upon the credulity, forbearance, or weakness of their fellow men, and to which the founders of sects and creeds are especially indebted —the inexperienced believing it impossible that de ception or criminality can exist without evincing some symptom of shame, some outward demonstration of their presence, confide in appearances, and suspect not the guile or the guilt which may lurk behind a fair face, or wait upon a bold and open bearing. A remarkable instance of this unblushing assurance was exhibited by the Bishop of London in the House of Lords on Tuesday night, when, with the most perfect unwincing self-complacency, his Grace presented a petition against the establishment of public cemeteries in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, on the ground that they would in a great measure deprive clergymen of the fees which they now exact for burying the dead, or for allowing them to be buried in Church ground. We really arc at a loss for language to designate as it deserves the nature of this petition. What !is it not enough that during life conformists and non-confor mists should be subjected to the undue and misappro priated exactions of the Church, without being made tributary to its inflictions even in death ? Are the clergymen of the Established Church so insatiable in their craving- after the substance of others, that, not content with the contributions they levy on the they intit come vampire-like to feed at the grav;? We are aware that many of the most worthy MiniSters of the established religion are most inadequately paid ; but why not make a suitable provision for them from the exuberant revenues of their more wealthy brethren, rather than leave them dependant on fees which de grades them in their own and the public estimation, and which are paid for ceremonies which it would be far more to the interest of the Church to per form gratuitously, or at least without any exactions beyond its general revenue ? In some parishes— according to the statement of his Grace of London —these fees amount to 1501. annually—a seri ous amount, certainly, to the ill-paid incumbent ; but the evil is, that it should ever have been . drawn from such a source. However, even a similar amount is not legally secured to the Dissenting Clergymen, and yet we never hear complaints of their impo verished condition, nor claims for supporting them at the expense of any sect but their own. The most dis gusting part of this prelatical exhibition was the af fected apprehension that, if further endowments were not granted to the Church, there would be a la mentable dearth of religious instruction. We never hear so much anxiety about religious instruction from Churchmen as when the dues are in jeopardy. It is then their zcal for the diffusion of the word burns most fervently. It is well known that the exhalations from grave-yards, especially in crowded cities, are of a most noxious character, and we hope that the health and convenience of the metropolis will not be sacrificed to the over-reaching avarice of Churchmen—even if longevity should be proved to impair the amount of their burial fees.—Morning Advertiser. Mr. Hume brings forward a motion to-night on the subject of enclosing Primrose-hill. We are glad to see the friends of the people interesting themselves, as they ought, in the agitation of subjects like these, which affect equally the morals and recreations of the industrious class. The preservation of the old subur ban walks of the metropolis does, in fact, cal: for the vigilant advocacy of the friends of the people, in the same proportion and degree as the attempt to restrict the people's recreations by the absurd and infamous Sabbath Protection Bill calls for their vigorous resist ance. By the way, it is a curious inconsistency—a curiosa iyelicitas—in the spirit and mode in which our legislative business is conducted—that on the same night whereon there appeared a majority in the House of Commons in favour of Sunday misery and Sun- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1837 day espionage, the second reading of Mr. Bucking- I ham's Public Walks Bill—the object of which is in direct contrariety to Sir Andrew Agnew's Bill —namely, to preserve the means of salubrious re creation to the industrious population of the me tropolis and provincial towns,—should have been curried without a dissentient voice. We should be glad to learn from our Legislators, how the working classes, who can only take air and recreation on the Sunday, are to enjoy the recreating benefits of the public walks—the preservation or creation of which is contemplated by Mr. Buckingham's Bill ? One deci sion of the Legislature, is, in fact, at practical variance with the other. There are to be walks for the public, but the public are not to have the opportunity of walk ing in them. We humbly submit that this Legislative paradox is somewhat in the style of Laputan legisla tion. We have before discussed the subject of Mr. Buckingham's Public Walks Bill. The principle of it is excellent. No friend o f the people can avoid sympathizing with its spirit and supporting its pur pose ; but there are details in it which are objection able, and they are objectionable on this ground—that they are conceived in a dictatorial and exclusive—and not in a popular spirit. For instance, rates are to be levied on the provincial towns for the purpose of creating public walks. Mr. Tooke has given notice of a motion on this subject. The levy of such a rate may be at variance with the interests and wishes of the inhabitants. They' may be pressed with too great an amount of rates already. There may not be the same relative necessity for the creation of public walks in some districts as in others. For instance—in dis tricts where the public ways have not been illegally stopped, or the public commons tyrannically usurped by the spirit of moneyed selfishness and exclusive mo nopoly. This matter should be left to the voluntary inclinations and voluntary contributions—or, at all events, to the municipal discretion—of the inhabitants, who are the best judges of their own wishes and in terests. Again ; there is another objection to Mr. Buckingham's Bill, which applies to the same dictato rial and anti-popular characteristic. We rather sus pect that it was this characteristic which enabled it to pass, by gaining for it the favour of the same phara saical knot who passed Sir Andrew Agnew's egregious Bill for the propagation of misery and discomfort on the Sunday. The clause, if not imbued with their fanatical spirit, has, at all events, derived its tinc ture from the Temperance Societies of Sheffield, end from the tea-parties of the old ladies whose influence returned the Honourable Member for that borough. People, forsooth, are to drink nothing but tea and coffee in these public walks. No " strong potations" are to be allowed. There are to be " no more cakes and ale," and ginger is " not to be hot in the mouth." Now, we have just the same objection to temperance by Act of Parliament as we have to religion by Act of Parliament. We neither like the straist-waistcoat manufactured for us, in sly deference to his Sheffield constituents, by Mr. Buck ingl,am, nor the strait-wastcoat manufactured for us by Sir Andrew Agnew in equally sly deference t o hi s saintly ecnstituents. In regard to the insidious at tempt to enclose Primrose Hill, we are glad to see public opinion successfully roused to the subject, which we hope will be set at rest by Mr. Hume's motion to-night. That it is successfully roused is shown by the great meeting which took place in Marylebone on the subject last Saturday—by a depu- LA:on to Lord Melbourne, which was most favourably received, and by the indignant strictures of the con temporary press upon the subject. An excellent letter en the law of time case will be found in Tuesday's Advei iiser, from an able and old contributor_ Mr. James, of Hampstcad—to whom the public are much indebted for the unremitting exertions which he has devoted to this object. For our own part we shall briefly say that we should con sider the enclosure as a most scandalous encroachment. It is actuated by the same grasping and gothic spirit which attempted some years ago to enclose and ab stract from the public a spot, unrivalled in variety and picturesque bezuty, and clear to the artist and man of taste, as well as salubriously recreative to the artisan— we mean the whole south-west range of Hampstead heath. There is nothing like it in picturesque beauty within a hundred miles of the metropolis. As to Primrose-hill and the few green spots which remain around it uninclosed, or uninvaded by brick and mor tar, they have been the haunts of the industrious po pulation of London during all the few leisure intervals which they can snatch from the anxiety or confinement of their labours, from infancy to manhood. Shame to the Vandals who, for some paltry penny, ,farthing purpose, attempt these disgraceful encroachments on the people, which, be it never forgotten, degrade the social morals and the manufacturing taste, whence our commercial profits are derived, as much as they dimi nish or pervert the people's healthy enjoyments. These men must have " fronts of triple bronze."— Morning Advertiser. The stock-jobbing fabrications transmitted from Bayonne per telegraph to Paris, touching the closely blockaded condition and approaching destruction of time Carlist expedition at Barbastro, are now made manifest to the world, though, like time multitude of fraudulent inventions from the same quarter, which pre ceded them, they were successful for a time in imposing upon the credulity' of the public. Even many of those whose feelings are in favour of the cause for which the Basque people have so long and bravely contended, were induced to consider the situation of the Carlist expedition as desperate, notwithstanding the victory which it had so recently obtained at Huesca, when the Guipuzcoan anti Navarrese battalions, led by the able and enterprising Infante Don Sebastian from Hernani to the centre of Aragon, proved that they wanted neither the courage or conduct necessary to conquer the enemies of their national rights and liberties on the plains whom they had so often beaten in their native mountains. But the victory which they ob tained on the 3d inst., on their advance from Barbastro to the river Cinca, appears to have been a still more im portant one, and attended with more disastrous conse quences to the revolutionary cause, than that which they achieved over Iribarren in the neighbourhood of Huesca. A few clays ago, while the Christino journals teemed with accounts of imaginary successes of the Queen's arms, and the capture or extermination of Don Carlos and his force was confidently predicted, we warned the public, as we have often felt it our duty to do, against giving any credit to such statements. We said " The public must be prepared to expect a great deal of fabri cated news respecting this expedition of Don Sebas tian until something very decisive shall have been achieved, which news is generally manufactured at or near Bayonne, by the Christino agents and fund job bers, who forward it to serve the interests of their em ployers on the Bourse, per telegraph to Paris. There the lie of one day, though completely contradictoryof the lie of the former one, is as greedily swallowed as if the telegraph had as immaculate a character for truth as it has a bad reputation for notorious lying." The correspondence which appeared in our columns yes- terday, from one of our Spanish correspondents, l i dissipated a whole mass of . those stock jobbing falsehoods, one of which was what was repre sented to be a " well-authenticated account" on the Paris Bourse, and which informed the public that " Don Carlos was still at Barbastro on the 3d, whilst General Oraa carried his reconnoisances even to the very gates of the town, driving the Carl!sts before him n ithin the walls which they were fortifying, the Baron De Meer being in the mean time in watchful charge of the left bank of the river, and, Espartero m arc hi ng from Pampeluna for Aragon." Now, according to this account, the situation of the Carlist expedition was desperate indeed ; for, if it could not make head against the forces of Oraa and the Baron De Meer, it was quite clear that it could have no chance of escape on the coining up of Espartero and his army. Even without that, it was clear that a close blockade, which of course implied the cutting off all supplies, must soon compel such a force, shut up within the walls of Barbastro, to surrender at discretion. Indeed, the " well authenticated close blockade" was soon fol lowed up by account of a proposed capitulation, in which a sale-conduct into the French territory was asked for Don Carlos, Don Sebastian, and a few civilians attached to their Court ; also, th a t th e officers and soldiers should be considered prisoners of war, and exchanged as soon as an equal number of Christino prisoners could be got together, along with some other terms, all of which were indig- nantly refused by the Queen's General, who would hear of nothing but a surrender at discretion. It happened, however, unfortunately for the cause for which the Christina scribes are so unscrupulously • inventive, that the safe-conduct on which Don Sebastian meant to rely, was one which his sword and not his pen was to achieve, and his sword has achieved it in a manner which must make the Church-plundering Government of Madrid tremble for the consequences. The delay of the expeditionary force at Barbastro is now satisfactorily accounted for. Don Sebastian, who since his appointment of Com mander-in-Chief of the Carlist armies, has displayed uncommon energy and enterprise, tempered with sound discretion, feared not, as the event has shown, to meet the forces of Oraa in the open field; but he judiciously waited the arrival on the left bank of the river of those Catalonian bands of insurgents with whom he intended to form a junction. The moment he was apprised of their arrival he marched, overthrew with dreadful slaughter the army commanded by Oraa, consisting of the troops lately under the command of Iribarren, united with those of Buerens, and then, unopposed by the Baron de Meer, crossed with bag and baggage the Cinca near Estedella, where it is broad and rapid, afterits con fluence with the rivers Eserra and Ivasena. Let it be ob served that the Baron de Meer was stated to have posses sion of Estedella for the purpose of opposing the passage, and yet we find he made no attempt to oppose it. The reason given in the French telegraphic dispatch is, that he did not reach Pons in time. We suppose Fons is the place meant, which is a few miles to the south of Estedella, for Pons is a town of Catalonia, some fifty miles more to the east. If then the Baron de Mecr had been in position acEstedella, his move ment upon Fons must have been for the purpose of getting out of the way of the Carlist expedition, in stead of opposing it ; but we do not believe he had been in possession of Estedella at all, even when he was represented " in watchful charge of the left bank of the river." It is more likely that he had advanced from IVlonzon, on the left bank of the river about ten miles south of Barbastro, towards Fons, and then found that if he advanced further he would have had to encounter the Catalonian bands, who, we presume, were drawn up in that quarter to cover the passage. This is the way we account for the inaction, or rather the retreat of this General (for it appears he has re trograded as far south as Lerida), though we ob serve that the Christino writers, as is usual, charge him with treachery to the Queen's cause. Before the Carlist expeditionary force reached Ager, between Tremp and Balaguer, where the last accounts, up to the moment at which we now write, left it, it had to cross the river Ribagorzana, which separates the province of Arragon from that of Catalonia. The immediate result of passing the Cinca is stated to have been the increase of the expeditionary force, by a junction with 10,000 Catalonian insurgents. Sup posing that Don Sebastian had only 15,000 men with him., when he passed the Cinca his force was augmented to 25,000 by that movement, while the ineffectual attempt by Oraa to prevent it, cost the Queen more than 2,000 of her best men, including, the unfortunate remnant of the French Foreign Legion, which was dreadfully cut up in the battle of Huesca, and now, according to the French Paper La Charte, is " both morally and physically destroyed," its brave commander having suffered the fate of Irribarren in endeavouring to retrieve the fortunes of the day. Why has Oraa, in stead of following and observing the march of the Carlists, retreated to Murzen, while the Baron de Meer has fled to Lerida, which is between 30 and 40 miles south of Agcr ? Why did not those Generals attempt to harass the expedition in crossing the river Segre, which it must do before it can pene trate further into Catalonia ? This aspect of affairs, it must be confessed, looks very bed for the Queen's cause. We have not yet heard of a junction between the Infante's forces and those under the indefatigable chief Cabrera, who, according to the last accounts, was approaching Mesquirenza on the Ebro from Valeacia. Cabrera's troops will augment the In fante's force by 7,000 or 8,000 men, whom that chief has already made familiar with victory. But what has become of Espartero all this time, while the avalanche of mountain war is preparing to descend upon Madrid ? By the last accounts he had marched from Tafella, not towards Aragon, but upon Larraga, which is in the opposite direction. The grand mistake of Espartero is that which the glorious triumvirate Palmerston, Wylde, and Evans induced him to commit, in allowing himself to be transported with his whole army from Bilboa to St. Sebastian, to help to retrieve Evans's disaster, thus leaving the road to Catalonia and the Ebro open to Don Sebastian.— Morning Herald. MURDER.—On the night of Sunday last, about nine o'clock, the neighbourhood of Clipstone, near Mansfield, in this county, was made the scene of the most barbarous mur der. The unfortunate victim was John M'Neal, a Scotch drover, in the habit of frequenting the neighbourhood. It ap pears that three men, William Smith, John Smith, and Mark Tissington, who had been drinking at the Dog and Duck, until a short time before the perpetration of the murder, met tho4leceased about five hundred yards from the public-house. He was in a field, sitting by a fire of twitch weeds, &c. He was immediately attacked by William Smith, who took from him his stick, and beat him about the head with it in a most dreadful manner. Six severe wounds were inflicted upon his head. His arms and legs were beaten to such an extreme, as to be wholly useless. One of his ribs was broken in three places, and his whole body was a mere mass of bruises and laceration. At the inquisition of the Coroner, which was held on the morning of Tuesday, a verdict of Wilful Murder was returned against William Smith, and a warrant issued for his commitment. lie is now lodged in the county gaol, to take his trial at the assizes.—Nottingham Review. The officers of the Scots Greys are about to present a handsome silver cup and cover, as a mark of their respect and regard, to Mr. Hewitt, late a sergeant in that distin guished corps. In one of the brilliant charges of his regi ment, at the battle of Waterloo, Sergeant Hewitt made a dash at the standard-bearer of the 45th regiment of French infan try, whom, together with a sergeant who advanced to his suc cour, he put hors de combat, and carried off his eagle. The 18th instant, the anniversary of the battle in which he per formed this heroic achievement, is the day fitly chosen for the presentation of the well-merited tribute to the gallant soldier, Who has since been promoted to an ensigncy in a foot regiment. The keepers of coffee houses, coffee shops, and public houses, are greatly annoyed by vagabonds who, after calling for refreshments, pretend to fall asleep, and suddenly start up after a little while and declare that they have been robbed. In some cases the landlords, anxious to shun the possible effect of misrepresntations before police Magistrates, the cars of many of whom are open to complaints against persons who keep houses of public accommodation, have given money to escape the threatened difficulty ; while in others the knaves have been foiled by the determined resistance of those who have been subjected to the annoyance. In the city of London things of this kind are better managed than elsewhere. The protection afforded by the luxuriant foliage of the oak of Charles 11. in the forest of Boscobel, has hitherto been commemorated in this town by the suspension of large boughs of oak over door-ways and sign -posts, and by the wearing of gilt oak-sprigs and oak-apples by the Corporation charity-boys and poor freemen, and at the annual procession on the 29th of May. But our woods this year have supplied neither apple, sprig, nor bough—not a solitary oak being in leaf. Nevertheless, the boys appeared as usual with what certainly seemed to be an oak sprig—with well-expanded leaves and goodly-sized apples. Upon closer inspection the pheno menon turned out to be ivy leaves and small potatoes.— Northampton Mercury. The Animals' Friend Society, among several of its cases last week, brought forward one which elicited general sympathy towards an ass; the poor animal having lost its hoof by the pressure of a cart wheel ; and a boy, named John Gri feen, was beating it on its sores till the stick was covered with blood. The boy said he was obliged to beat it as it had only three legs to go on,_. and his parents were ill, and depended on him for support. Mr. Jeremy, the magistrate, told him that that made his offence the greater; but, in consideration of his parents, he only fined him ss. and costs, with a month to pay it in. - - - - - - - - - On Saturday night last, about half-past eight o'clock, during a heavy squall, the life of a boy was saved by a sailor, named William Brown, belonging to the collier brig Ford, lying at the Ropery light, below Greenwich, who happened to be on board of the Water Witch at the time the lad, while passing a boat astern of another vessel lying in the tier above, over-reached himself and fell out of the ship into the river, with the painter in his hand. The tide was running down very strong, and the wind blowing hard down the reach, when Brown, the seaman, observing the perilous situation of the lad, who was drifting with the rope in his hand, apparently quite exhausted, sprangfrom the Water Witch into the river, and succeeded in saving the boy, who was taken on board the Water Witch in an apparently lifeless state. By the perse vering exertions of Brown and others he soon recovered from the effects of his immersion in the water, and is now doing well. The captains of several vessels, who noticed the intre pidity and courage of William Brown, the seaman intend re commending him to the notice of the Royal Humane Society, who will, no doubt, appreciate his exertions in saving the life of a fellow-creature.

For the last fortnight the weather has, upon th e whole, been excellent, and has produced a st r ikin g effect upos the woods and fields, as well as the crops, which are now 10 1 very forward state, and are not, apparently, very much bet! e what is usually looked for at this period of the season. ""; wind, however, has been chiefly in the east for some time Pa' and it has consequently been cold in the shade, and in t ee fall of the evening. Yesterday was dull, gloomy, and COld) with partial rain ; but to-day the weather is more favourable .- ' Scotsman of Saturday. One day this week, as some men were digging in 5 garden at the top of Capper-lane, they found a copper token, much defaced, but with the following letters distinctly legit surrounding a head—G. A. S. T. O. N.Y. S. V. D. L. S. 0. ui the reverse is the date 1642, with the three fleurs de lye an„ a crown. It would seem to be a French piece, and the da t ; would refer it to the reign of Louis the 13th. The spot Whe t . it was discovered is the scite of an old chapel. Perhaps s ° l " of our antiquarian readers may be able to assist us in deter mining what it is.—Kendal Mercury. A short time ago, a goose belonging to Mr. Joshua' s Tuer, of Stakes, near Appleby, was set with eight eggs, 1 1 5 she not liking the solitary occupation, soon left them ; the gander, disgusted at her want of feeling, took to sitting t`,_' eggs himself. After a patient incubation of four weeks, Iffle owner broke one of the eggs, thinking they might be rotteaf when there happened to be a fine gosling inside.
