S exultation in it, as the other feels despair, that tho men have stood by me have found they are in the right, and t at they who have attacked liberty, justice, freedom of con te,ettee, liberal policy, enlightened views, or have deserted V: , .se who support them, or have looked on as neutrals, wait i"g the result, have also discovered that they have lost their haracter without gaining their dirty ends—( Cheers.) Encott t. 7,d by your reception of me—animated by the approval of t ...er honest and enlightened fellow-countrymen—and inspi eed by the glorious nature of the race set before them, I hope 01 trust that this example, though in the person of a feeble i dividual, will not be without its fruits, and not be devoid of i., tee; but that it may encourage those who have yet to earn , te favour of their country to take that steady, undeviating, atel honest course by which, as alone that favour can be earned, o-. 1 by it alone can that favour be maintained. That I ace at all times, been, as I ever henceforth shall, and do at this time profess myself ready to be, the enemy of i•ttoleranee, the foe of oppression, the protector of the in jored, the redresser of those grievances which require the .oterposition of a public man to redress—that I shall lever shrink from that course, from fear either of giving ~thence to the powerful, or umbrage to the squeamish, or alarm le the weak, the feeble, and faint-hearted; but that I shall t, l .pose those oppressions, and expose the wrongs that have Leen done, be they in the person of the first subject in the land, r. 13 .-1 she a Queen—(great cheering)—or be they in the person (.t" a murdered and martyred missionary of God's truth in the :.ace colonies, or be they in the person of an humble printer a useful and reputable citizen of Suffolk ; —that I shall op pose the tyrant arm, endeavour to paralize the oppressor's hand, expose the bigoted head, whether it be covered with a monk's cowl or with a prelate's mitre--(tremendous cheers)— titrow open the guise that covers over the wicked heart, whether it throb behind a cassock, or behind lawn ;—that these at my principles, and that they will be, as they ever have bete:, the guide of my public life—you and my country are assured, and require of me no pledge. For this, you and my country do and will render me that justice which I know and feel I have not forfeited. (The Noble Lord then bowed and retired, amid the most enthusiastic plaudits of the thousands there assembled.) Three distinct groans were then given for the Times, and Vac meeting dispersed. ABERDEEN. ( Abridged from the Aberdeen Observer.) On Friday night a company consisting of about sixty gentle men, dined in the County Rooms, for the purpose of cele brating the return of the Melbourne Administration to office —Alexander Bannerman, Esq., M. P., in the Chair. Alex der Stronach, Esq., of Drumallan, acted as Croupier. After the cloth had been removed, the Chairman proposed la succession the customary loyal toasts—" The King"—" The Queen"--" The pride and hope of the nation, the Princess Vietoria"—" The Duke of Sussex, a Prince who had always shown himself a friend to liberal principles." Air—" A man's a man for a' that." " The People, and may they appreciate the blessings of living under good and liberal government, and never abuse the power they possess." The CHAIRMAN then said, we have met for the purpose of celebrating the return of Lord Melbourne to office, so soon after his unceremonious dismissal—a dismission unprecedented in the history of this country.—( Cheers.) Eight months have elapsed since I proposed in this room the health of the Noble Lord, now at the head of his Majesty's Government, and I can assure you that it is with undiminished pleasure that I now propose a bumper to his health. I beg to propose, " Lord Melbourne and his Majesty's Ministers." Drunk with all the honours. The CROUPIER said it was quite unnecessry for him to do more than propose " The health of Mr. Bannerman." The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks said he had stated to them in November and January, that he was convinced Sir R. Peel would never get a majority in the House of r;ommons to agree with him upon the subject of the Irish Church. That prediction had been fulfilled. He would say that he should be more surprised to see Sir R. Peel acting in a few months hence with his recent coadjutors, than he would be to find the llon. Baronet co-operating in the course of two years with Lord Melbourne. He would not insult their understandings by asking them if he had erred in supporting Lord John Russell's resolution. He would ask them whether in their consciences they believed that, after amply providing for the %cants of the Irish Church, by expending the surplus on the education of the people, they had done any thing which ould, in the smallest degree, injure the cause of Protestant ism in Ireland, and in the remotest way endanger the safety of the Church ?—(Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Reformers of England, Ireland, and Scotland." Drunk with all the honours. The CHAIRMAN was quite sure that they would all fill a bumper to the toast which he was now about to propose. It referred to a Noble Lord, then Lord High Chancellor of England, who in September last had done the city of Aber di en the honour of a visit in passing. They were quite well aware that the Noble Lord's visit to Scotland, and particularly his speechifying at Aberdeen, had given rise to most violent attacks upon him. If, however, he had lost Court favour for ghat reason, he had risen in the estimation of Scotsmen.-- ( Loud cheers.) And, if be were again to visit Scotland, he wouYd find how they admired here his transcendent—his mag nificent talents. He begged to propose " The health of Lord Brougham." Drunk with all the honours, and one cheer :more. . Air—" Young Harry is the lad for me." The CHAIRMAN proposed, in connection with the last toast, " 'The repeal of all those taxes which impede the progress of knowledge among the people." The CHAIRMAN begged leave to propose the health of a Nobleman who had rendered the State some service. He only regretted that Lord John Russell had not a Scotch con stituency.—( Cheers and laughter.) They would have ap preciated his merits at their true value. The Chairman .Lier-ed to propose " The health of Lord John Russell and his noble Bride, and many happy years to them." Air--." Woo'd and married an' a'. " The CHAIRMAN proposed " Freedom of Election." His friend beside him observed, with regard to this subject, that they must all come to the ballot.—(Loud and repeated cheer ing.) He hoped, however, that some other means would be found to prevent intimidation, than the introduction of what he considered a tremendous moral evil, in order to get the better of It political one. He did not say but he might himself come to be perfectly convinced of the absolute necessity of the bal 14—but let them have patience, and give the present system a f,ir trial. Mr. NEIL SMITH, jun., had no doubt they might be taunted by their opponents, and told that they had met to celebrate not the return of Lord Melbourne to office, but the defeat of Lord John Russell in Devonshire. He had no doubt, how ever, that the defeat of that Noble Lord would only serve to advance the cause of which he was so able an advocate, and so great an ornament,—for there was not a friend to the cause of leeform more firm and decided than Lord John Russell. He stir.', sincerely as he respected the clergy, he wished that their political influence could be annihilated to-morrow; and he wished that measures could be introduced for taking the franchise from the clergy.—(Loud cheers.) He was certain that there was not an honest clergyman in the three kingdoms wL•o would not be rejoiced to see that done. He proposed lhe Devonshire Election, the annihilation of the political influence of the Clergy, and the vote by Ballot."—(Cheers.) Mr. JAMES CLYNE said there was a class of men—Radicals —to whom the Whigs were greatly obliged. lie begged to I ropose " Messrs. Hume and O'Connell." The CHAIRMAN said that, with regard to the allegations that the Whigs lay under deep obligations to the Radicals, he ac knowledged that they certainly did; but his own notion was, L: , at the Radicals were fully more indebted to the Whigs. He v. ished not to be Misunderstood ; but he begged to say that had the advice of that party been taken with regard to the s i nestions brought before this Parliament, Sir R. Peel would have now been Prime Minister, and would have continued to I e so for years to come ; and it required all the efforts of the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin and of others to induce +l.e Radical party to adopt a less violent mode of procedure. No one more admired than he did the talents--the prodigious ta:smts and eloquence—of the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin. God Almighty grant that Mr. O'Connell may be induced to render to his country those services which arc most useful. Ile had rendered eminent services to his country al ; tsly, and God forbid that Lord Melbourne, or any Minister, r.T.zonld scout the assistance of Mr. O'Connell. BLACKIE, banker, gave—" The Press, and Mr. Murdo Young, Editor of The Sun." Mr. BANNERMAN, after some appropriate remarks, gave " The Liberty of the Press," which was drunk with applause. The company then broke up about eleven o'clock, after spending upon the whole a pleasant enough evening. The o. chestra, conducted by Mr. Duff, played appropriate airs to the toasts ; and the dinner and wines furnished by Mr. Mollison, of the Union Hotel, were excellent, as all Mr. Mol- Lion's entertainments are. The Queen sent a message by a Noble Lord in Waiting to Miss Adelaide Kemble, immediately after the ter mination of the Concert of Ancient Music on Wednesday evening, requesting her to sing at a private party of the Clurt at St. James's Palace. The High Office of Lord Chamberlain to the King was offered to the Duke of Devonshire by Lord Melbourne, u hen he resumed the Premiership, but was declined by his Gr.tce in consequence of the extremely delicate state of his health. The Marquis of Wellesley experienced so much fatigue during the ceremony of inauguration of the Knights the Bath at St. James's Palace on Thursday, that he was 01.)liged repeatedly to sit down. DINNER TO THE TURKISH AMBASSADOR.—A grand dinner was given on Saturday at the Star and Garter, Richmond, by the merchants of London engaged in the Le -v.IIA trade, to Nourri Effendi, the recently arrived Ambassador from the court of Turkey. Namik Pacha, the Ambassador whom Nourri Effendi has superseded, was also invited, and had dt•layed to commence his journey homewards in order to be pre nt but unfortunately an indisposition under which he has .for some time been labouring was on Saturday so much increased us to render him wholly incapable of attending. Nourri Effendi and his suite soon after three o'clock embarked at +,7estminster on board the Endeavour steam-boat, which had b een engaged for the occasi on , an d a f avoura bl e t id e rap idl y conveys. -them to Richmond. His Excellency remained chiefly on deck, enjoying at once the delightful scenery of the river and tile ftunes of his chibouqe. The party arrived at Ri c hmoild-hridge about five o'clock, and were conveyed in carriages to the Star and Garter. The dinner, which was at tended by upwards of a hundred of the Levant merchants, among whom were Sir John R. Reid, M.P., and Mr. Robinson, M. p., and also the Lord Mayor, was served up at six o'clock , and though so short a time resident in this country, Nourri Effendi appeared to want no relish for English viands, nor Oid e h suffer the grape's forbidden Juice to pass untasted by. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 18, 1835. We have authority to contradict the report in some of the Morning Papers, that the Earl of ALBEMARLE had resigned the Mastership of the Horse. At a recent public dinner given by the Reformers of Aberdeen, in celebration of the return of the MEL BOURNE Ministry to power, an abridged report of which will be found in another part of The Sun, Mr. NEIL SMITH observed, he had " no doubt they might be taunted by their opponents, and told that they had met to celebrate, not the return of Lord MELBOURNE to office, but the defeat of Lord JOHN RUSSELL in Devonshire. He had no doubt, however, that the de feat of that Noble Lord would only serve to advance the cause of which he was so able an advocate, and so great an ornament." Mr. NEIL SMITH here alludes to the question of the Ballot, to which the late Devon shire election has unquestionably given a powerful im petus. Popular as it was before, it has now acquired a tenfold popularity, from the simple fact that its ne cessity, as the only measure calculated to check undue interference at elections, is placed beyond a doubt. Had it been in existence when Mr. PARKER com menced his recent canvass of South Devonshire, the Hon. Member would never have been permitted by the electors to affix M.P. to his name ; for his political principles were precisely those to which the majority of them entertained the greatest aversion ; but they were borne down by the combined influence of the lay and clerical Conserva tives, and compelled to surrender up their inclinations to their necessities. It was by the unremitting exercise of this corrupt influence that the Tories swelled their majority at the last general election to nearly three hundred Members. The re-action, as they call it, in their favour, was not the healthy re-action produced by conviction on the part of those among their consti tuents who voted for them, but a forced, factitious re-action brought about by Conservative bribery and corruption. The only remedy for this oppressive grievance is the Ballot, which we advocate, and shall ever continue to advocate, with as much zeal as our brother Reformers of Aberdeen, to whom, by the bye, we have to tender our best thanks for the cordial and flattering manner in which they drank our healths at the dinner to which we have been alluding. To know that our exertions in the cause of constitutional liberty are appreciated by such an enlightened body of men as the Aberdeen Reformers, is among our proudest, as it will be among our most enduring, recollections. We have frequently, during the last six or eight months, called the attention of our readers to that im portant branch of the national commerce, the Tea trade ; and we shall continue to do so, until such al terations are made in the laws by which it is regulated, as shall restore it to a sound and healthy state. Our readers are aware, that in the course of the last session of Parliament a select Committee of the House of Commons was appointed, to inquire into the practi cability and policy of levying different rates of duty on the different shades and qualities of tea. It will be recollected, too, that an Act had already passed esta blishing such a scale of duties, and to people of plain common sense, not initiated in the mysteries of law making, it would seem that the prope . r course would have been to have inquired first, and legislated after wards, instead of following the example of the worthy Magistrates of an ancient border borough in Scot. land, who always commenced proceedings in cri minal cases by hanging the culprit, and then went on to examine the evidence against him. But let that pass. The Committee entered into a careful and laborious investigation of the following points submitted to their determination :—First, the practicability of distinguishing the various kinds of tea, so as to make such distinction the basis of a gra duated scale of duties. Second, the operation of the scale of duties as influencing the price to consumers, compared with one uniform rate of duty. Third, the effect of a scale of duty in reference to the pro. ductiveness of the revenue ; and, Fourth, whethe the scale-of-duty system was calculated to promote the extension of our commerce with China. On all these points the Committee decided against the scale of du ties, and in favour of one uniform rate of duty. A very able report was drawn up by Mr. CRAWFORD, the city Member, who conducted the examination before the Committee. After this report, however, had been approved of by a majority of the Committee, it happened, by some means or other into which we shall not at preient inquire, that a resolution, of a very evasive character, was substituted for the Report—which resolution recommended a trial of the scale of duties, until the meeting of Parliament, when the practical working of the scale would have been seen. Now, the scale system has had a " fair trial," and the consequence, as in other " fair trials," has been to prove its utter worthlessness. The imprac ticability of distinguishing the nice gradations by which one kind of tea runs into another (as might have been anticipated, had the fact that all teas are the produce of one and the same shrub been attended to), has been proved, times out of number, to the no small cost both of the revenue and the importer. Every fresh importation has been the signal for a regular siege of the Treasury. Applications and appeals from all quarters of the kingdom have been piled on one another to the ceiling in the office of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, all exclaiming against the un heard-of injustice of a system by which it is made to depend upon the state of an Inspector's olfactory nerves, whether every importer of tea shall be a rich man or a beggar, and whether the tea-drinking community, that is, the population of England, Scotland, and Ireland, shall enjoy a wholesome beverage, or be poisoned by the noxious juice of every shrub that grows in China. Let us not be accused of exaggeration in thus expressing ourselves. There is at this moment an importation of tea awaiting Mr. WYB Ito w's inspection, on which it will make a difference to the importer of TEN THOUSAND POUNDS, whether it is passed as Congou or Bohea ; and we have seen a letter from a respect able firm in Canton, iii whiCh it is stated that there is not a shrub or tree within miles of Canton, but what has been completely stripped of its leaves to make tea for the English market ? In the mean time the whole trade, both in London and the out ports, is in a state of the greatest confusion. The re venue is defrauded, and the market, within the last six months overrun with a greater quantity of spurious tea (the scale system favouring its importation) than has been imported within twice that number of years previously. Such is the state to which this important branch of trade has been reduced by absurd legislation—we say absurd—for what can be more absurd than a law which takes it for granted that teas separated by im perceptible gradations may be as easily distin guished from each other as a turnip from a potatoe. We hope the Legislature is about to retrace its steps in this matter. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER is, we believe, favourable to a substitution of one fixed duty for the scale which is producing such ruinous effects. In another part of The Sun will be found the Report to which we have alluded, and which we recommend to the most serious attention of our rea ders—though long, it will amply repay perusal. The Staffordshire election is affording the Tories an excellent field for the exercise of their peculiar talents for misrepresentation. Colonel ANSON, they say, has retired from the contest. No doubt they wish that this were true, and with them that is warrant enough to as sert it for truth. It is, however, as gross a fabrication as any everforged in the Tory mint. Colonel ANso N is in the field, and confident of success. In the meantime his oppo nent, Sir F. GOODRICICE, has vacated his seat for that sink of corruption Stafford, where the Tories expect to worm in some of their underlings. In this they may probably be disappointed. It is not quite certain that the House of Commons will consent to issue a writ for a borough so notoriously corrupt, that a Bill intro duced last Session for its disfranchisement, was sup ported—if we mistake not—even by Sir R. PEEL. We have received the whole of the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The Court of Peers sat both days in its judicial capacity ; and such was the rapidity with which the Secretary read the Act of In dictment, that we find most of the journals of opinion that the whole of this voluminous document would be gone through before the rising of the Court on Satur day. Only twenty-three of the prisoners consented to be present in Court during the reading of the Act of Accusation, and they paid no more regard to it than if it referred to the inhabitants of Timbuctoo. On both days there was a full attendance of the Peers who previously assisted at the trials, with the excep tion of M. LEMERCIER, who signified that his health would not permit him to remain longer in the capital. This venerable Peer has attained the ninety-third year of his age, and consequently cannot be presumed com petent to discharge judicial functions. Great anxiety prevails among all classes in Paris respecting the termination of the resolution of the Chamber of Peers, for calling to the Bar the ninety-one persons who signed the letter addressed to the pri soners through the columns of the now defunct Tribune. The nomination of the members to whom the Peers' message should be referred, was warmly debated in the standing Committees of the Chamber of Deputies on Friday, when the Ministers succeeded in obtaining a majority of one hundred and eleven votes in favour of the creatures of the Court. The opposition very properly contended that as the question at issue was one which involved the privileges of the Chamber, it was of the utmost importance that it should be considered without reference to party, and that the Committee ought to comprise men of all shades ofopinion. This was op posed by M. PERSIL and his colleagues, who proposed that nine Members, whom they named, and who are well known as the mete hacks of the Government, should be appointed as a Committee. After a rather intemperate debate, in which the merits of the question were lost sight of, in the eagerness to expose the con duct of individuals, the Chamber divided, when the numbers were— • In favour of the Ministerial Candidates 247 Against them Majority in favour of Ministers — 111 Thus, at the very commencement, the Chamber has stultified itself, and compromised its own dignity ; for our knowledge of the Deputies, who have been ap pointed as a Committee, is quite sufficient to make us acquainted with their report, which will at once sanc tion the proceedings of the Chamber of Peers, and give instructions for delivering over to its jurisdiction those Members whose names are affixed to the ob noxious letter in the Tribune. If the Chamber of Deputies fully understood, and properly appreciated, its own privileges, it would vote the message of the Chamber of Peers a breach of privilege, and take measures for compelling that branch of the Legislature to recal it. But corruption and Court influence have been lately too busy with the Deputies of France. The KING reposes in security, because he knows that in all questions in which his personal feelings are deeply interested, he can, through his Ministers, command a sweeping majority. For some months past the ranks of the Opposition have grown thinner and thinner. Almost every day has witnessed the desertion of some popular demagogue ; and among those who continue to cling to the Opposition benches, it is surprising to mark the subdued tone in which they declaim against the conduct of the Government. The celebrated leaders of the Opposi tion demean themselves as courteously in their colli sions with Ministers, as would my Lord's gentleman, if by some accident he were to be driven in contact with his master. Those fierce denunciations of the despotism of the KING, which resounded in the Cham ber of Deputies in 1832, are now quite forgotten ; and we almost question whether our own immortal SIMP SON could rival M. DupiN in the expression of loyal devotion to the Citizen KING, and all that are in authority under him. We regret this ; and we regret it the more because the corruption of the Deputies, and their subserviency to the will of Ministers, will doubly accelerate the movement towards another revolution in France. Were the Chamber of Deputies to do its duty firmly and honestly—were it to fling itself between the KING and the people, and by a bold resistance of all despotical measures, compel the Ministry either to resign or to consult for the welfare of the country—were it to do this, we should be under no apprehen sion of immediate danger, notwithstanding the mad freaks of the SOVEREIGN. But when the Cham ber of Deputies is carried away with the tide of Court corruption—when the Representatives of the people begin to make merchandize of the powers dele gated to them for the most sacred purposes—then indeed is there cause for general alarm, and the most direful apprehension. With an honest Legislative Assembly, it is not difficult to oppose success fully, the most mischievous schemes of constitution ally limited sovereignty ; but when the legislative be comes corrupt, the last check is removed—the helm of the State is gone, and nothing short of a miracle can prevent the vessel from foundering. The Committee, to which the Peers' message was referred, will make its report to day, so that, in the course of the week we shall have learned the result of this extraordinary proceeding. All are anxious to know in what way the Peers propose to deal with the writers of the letter, admitting that the Chamber of Deputies consent to their appearance at their Lord ships' Bar. The Peers sitting in a Legislative capa- city cannot constitutionally, either fine or imprison, or in any way punish an offence committed against them as a judicial body ; and as a judicial assembly they have no jurisdiction when the crime charged does not amount to treason. The Peers, it is true, may punish for a contempt of Court, in the same way as all other judicial tribunals, but then it is necessary that the offence should be committed in the presence of the Judges while sitting in a judicial capacity, or else it must consist in resisting some order or mandate issuing from thein. Now to denounce the jurisdiction of a Court, in writing, does not come within the meaning of contempt ; and consequently the Peers can only pro ceed against the writers of the letter by implicating them as parties after the fact, in the crime of High Treason. It is stated in several of the , French journals that several legions of the National Guard have protested against the attendance of any portion of their fellows in arms at the new Court of the Luxembourg. The Journal de Paris attempts a bungling refutation of these assertions, by the publication of the names of the legions who have already furnished their quota for this service. This mode of argument is about as conclusive as if we were to give the names of six supporters of the late Tory Government in Eng land, as a convincing proof that Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Administrtion was not opposed in the House of Commons. Verily, the logic of the partizans of the French Government is not less re markable than the crooked policy of the KING, and the apostacy of his Ministers. The principals, the agents, the instruments, and the oNects proposed, are all worthy of each other. FRENCH FUNDS.-Paula, May 15 Five per Cents., 108 f. 35e. 55c. 60c. Four per Cents., 99f. 20c.

Letters and Papers from Bayonne and Madrid have been received, the latter to the sth inst. Their con tents are not of the slightest importance. We have received the Belgian and Holland journals of Saturday. Great excitement prevails in Brussels, in consequence of the abrupt prorogation of the Chambers on Thursday, without any previous notice to that effect, having been communicated to them. The following account of this singular and unprece dented affair is from the Courrier Beige, the leading journal of the Opposition : " The order of the day was the debate on M. Rodenbach's motion relative to the addition of 10 per cent. to the taxes, and to the cadastre, when all at once, in the midst of the de bate, and without any person expecting it, "M. de Theux ascended the tribute, and drawing a paper from his pocket, read as follows : _ _ ." Gentlemen--The Government being convinced that the very near approach of the time for the new elections to the Chamber leaves no reasonable hope of converting into laws any of the projects of laws now pending before the Chambers, has thought it most advisable to close the session, leaving to itself to convoke the Chambers at the usual time for their meeting. The proposals brought forward to-day were unforeseen ; however, they have not seemed to us to be such as to make it necessary to alter the resolution which the King has sanc tioned, and which he has instructed me to communicate to you.' " The Minister then read the following decree : Leopold, King of the Belgians, to all present and to come, - - greeting — seeing. article 70 of the Constitution, by the advice of o ur Council of Ministers, we have decreed and decree as follows :- 4 , Art. 1. The session of the Chamber of Representatives and of the Senate for 1834 is closed. Art. 2. The present decree shall be communicated to the Chamber of Representatives and to the Senate by our Minister of the Interior. Given at Brussels, 14th May. " LEOPOLD. " By the King, The Minister of the Interior, De THE UX.' " During the time this decree was reading the astonishment of the Chamber continued to increase. Towards the close the greater part of the Members rose and surrounded the tribune, and when the reading was finished, exclamations of different kinds arose on all sides and drowned the voice of the Presi dent, who spoke some words which could not be heard. The Chamber broke up in the greatest confusion. M. de Theux, holding down his head, returned to his seat. " It is impossible to paint the surprise, the astonishment of the Chamber. The country will judge whether indignation ought not to be added to astonishment. 4 , The most important parts of the communal law were going to be voted in two or three days, and there was every indication that the Ministry would be defeated. The law on public education was also going to make the Ministry feel the disapproval of the two great divisions of the Chamber, who, though they do not agree together on all points, are, however, free from the dependence of the great number of public func tionaries who fill the Ministerial benches. 6' The continuance of the 10 per cent. additional taxes and the cadastre were going to be revised, and the result was easy to be foreseen ; and now, just when the Government might be informed of the real sentiments of the nation, it abruptly dis misses its representatives." We believe that LEOPOLD was persuaded to dismiss the Chamber in this manner, as the only means by which he could keep the Ministers in office. The per sons who advised the KING to adopt such a course are unworthy of his confidence. It is too hazardous a stretch of the Royal Prerogative in so young a kingdom. If his Ministers were driven to seek shelter behind the skirts of the Regal mantle, the KING ought to have left them to be dealt with according to the good plea sure of the Belgian Representatives.

It is not, however, likely to be so well attended as the first, in consequence of the commencement of the adjourned Parliament. Earl Derby has resigned to his son, Lord Stanley, the entire ma nagement of his sporting stud. His Lordship was at Newmarket during the last races. Vauxhall has once more deferred its opening till Wednesday next, in consequence of the unfavourable state of the weather. By that time there is little doubt but the glass will point " set fair," which will give additional eclat to an intended representation of Versailles, and its famed " water-works," which have been prepared on an extensive as well as splendid scale. The resignation of the Marquis Wellesley, as Lord Chamberlain, has been followed by that of the Earl of Albe marle, as Master of the Horse. The cause assigned, by re port, for the retirement of these Noblemen, is, if true, such as must justify them, in the opinion of all highminded men, for the line of conduct they have felt themselves called upon to adopt. Though thoroughly persuaded that neither of the Noble Lords would have withdrawn from his Majesty's ser vice at so important a moment as the present without suf ficient, and more than sufficient, reason, yet we shall most reluctantly believe that their secession is accurately ac counted for by rumour. The friends of Monarchy may in deed begin to tremble, if what is stated, and, we are sorry to add, believed, in well-informed circles, be correct. Morning Chronicle. The report that Mr. Braham and Mr. Frederick Yates have taken the Colosseum in the Regent's Park, to ap propriate that fine building for the representation of theatri cals, is not correct. Mr. Braham, we understand, intends to build a theatre to represent English operas in the neighbour hood of Belgrave-square. Lord Radnor's dinner, given a few days ago to a select number of his old friends and political associates, inclu ded as guests several of his Majesty's Ministers, and others, with whom through a long life the Noble Lord has associated in the good old cause of Reform, beginning at a period wh en he was considered a bold man who h a the courage to asse:.. his principles, especially if they favoured thelibit ies of the people. KINGS THEATRE.—The second rep resen t a tion of Donizetti's tragic ori!).l`. of Marino Faliero attracted on Sa turday night a most . numerous and fashionable audience. Be fore the rising of the curtain, there was not even standing_ room to be found in the pit, and at the end of the second act every box was occupied. The Duchess of Kent and the prin cess Victoria again honoured the theatre with their presence, and appeared to participate in the enthusiastic delight which the performance of th© opera created. HOUSE OF LORDS. -(THIS DAY•) The House sat to-day to hear appeals.- The Lords present %yore—the Duke of Cumberland, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Brougham, the Marquis of Salisbury' , Lord Kenyon, the Earl of Mansfield, Lord Gort, Viscount Melville, and the Earls of Falmouth and Selkirk. LADY WA RRENDER V. SIR GEORGE Ni'ARRENDER. This appeal arose out of the unhappy differences between Sir George Warrender and his Lady, which led to the execu tion of a deed of separation, and ultimately to the institution of an action of divorce in the Scotch Courts. Lady `!,T render objected to the jurisdiction of the Scotch Courts, ond the ground that she was not domiciled in that country, al d that the marriage, having been contracted in England, cow only be dissolved by the authority of Parliament. The Court having over-ruled these objections and remitted the subject_ to the Lord Ordinary, his Lordship or d ere d L a dy Warren der to put in answers to the condescendence of Sir George render, and and from this decision the present appeal was brought: The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Dr. ADDAMS appeared f°' ' the appellant - and Dr. LUSIIINGTON and Sir W. Foar rl for the respondents. The ATTORNEY- GENERAL was addressing their LordOir on behalf of the appellant when we left. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY•) PALMER V. BAHR. This was an action brought by the owner of a vessel name the Britannia, against a ship b ro k er o f Li verpoo l, for spe c damage sustained in consequence of the vessel having b e j„ detained a considerable time at Trieste, and not having tained an advantageous cargo home, which it was alleged r: occasioned by the neglect of th e d e f en d an t. The q uesPr e for the Jury was, whether the loss had been sustained by.d negligence of the defendant, or by th a t o f M r . Cam who acted as the commission agent of the other partb Pr. charterers. The evidence, which consisted principally of letters O lil are. the various parties conc erne d, was o f a very con fli c tinguat The case is not likely to terminate till a late hour.
