issued in the chapels of the neighbourhood. Lord Melbourne very sensibly observed, that great multi tudes of men could not be assembled without some sort of concert and preparation. But then it seems the multitudes moved in procession, to avoid confusion no doubt, and had symbols and banners. " This (said Lord Wicklow) was not only in violation of the common law, but of that law which was introduced two years ago, when the Noble Viscount was Secretary of State for the Home Department. He alluded, to the Bill which was to be continued for five years, and which declared to be illegal all bodies of men assembled'with symbols and banners." Admitting processions with symbols and banners to be a violation of the law, Lord Mulgrave had no means of preventing it. He could not prevent that which was arranged before his en trance into Dublin. This much, however, may be said of the law, that it is never, we believe, applied in this country to mere demonstrations of joy and gratitude, though strictly they may be prohibited. But every thing in Ireland from which matter of crimination can be derived is eagerly laid hold of, and Lord London donderry prophesied that if the parties concerned in the procession on Lord Mulgrave s entrance were not punished, the 12th of July would not p ass over with out the most serious consequences. The Orangemen are, we have no doubt, already gloating on the out rages for which the processions in honour of Lord Mulgrave will furnish a pretext. Unfortunately it is never difficult to get up a quarrel in Ireland. Great will be the joy of the Orangemen if they can succeed in embarrassing G o vernment.—Morning Chronicle. PARIS. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.—SITTING OF MAY 13. M. DUPIN, President. After our reporter quitted the Chamber, the following dis cussion took place upon the presentation of a message from the Chamber of Peers, connected with the trial of the State pri soners. The ordinary business of the Chamber was for some time interrupted by the arrival of a State messenger from the Cham ber of Peers, who was introduced with the usual ceremony, and delivered a written message to the President. The latter read the message containing the resolution of the Chamber of Peers, summoning to its bar the perant of the Tribune, the gerant of the Rfforniateur, and the parties who had signed the article inserted on the 11th of May in both journals. The letter was as follows : " Rknis, MAY 13, 1835. " TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. " Sir—l have the honour to transmit to you the subjoined de cision, come to by the Chamber of Peers at their sitting of to-day, which is ordered to be communicated to the Chamber of Deputies. " I have the honour, &c., " PASQUIER, " President of the Chamber of Peers." The folloWing is the decision above alluded to : " The Chamber, considering the copy of the Tribune newspaper, dated May 11, and the copy of the journal Le Reforrnuteur of the same day—considering article 15 of the law of the 25th of March, 1822, and article 3 of the law of the Bth of October, 1830—de crees that Hector Bichat, responsible editor of the Tribune, and Jaffrenon, responsible editor of Le Reforniateur ; A. Carrel ; A Thouret Joly, ex-deputy ; the Abbe dela Mennais ; Audry de Pnyra veau, deputy; Ledru, advocate; Etienne Arago ; Cormenin, deputy; Dupart, Lemaire, Decemps, M. A. Perier, of Grenoble, A. Lamer, advocate, and others who signed the letter addressed To the pri soners implicated in the affair of April,' and commencing with these words :—` Citizens, anxious to prove ourselves worthy," and terminating thus—' the execration of posterity—health and frater nity.' [Then follow the names of several other individuals,amount ing in all to the number of 92, including the two editors above named. The decree then goes on to state, that all these persons shall be summoned by a messenger to appear at the bar of this Chamber, upon a day to be subsequently fixed, to undergo an exa mination touching the letter above described, as having appeared in the Tribune and Refurmateur journals, of the llth inst., and re ceivo the penalties provided by the law in ease of being convicted of the alleged offence.] " In consequence of the names of several members of the Cham ber of Deputies being attached to the letter in question, the Cham ber of Peers directs that the present resolution shall be commu nicated to the said Chamber, so as to insure, in case of necessity, the execution of the 44th article of the charter. " PASQUIER, President." The President having finished the reading of the message, said that the document should be deposited in the archives, but that it was not sufficient to obtain the required authorization from the Chamber.—( Movement and agitation among the Members of the left.) The Minister of Justice having demanded to be heard, read a formal demand, made by him as Minister of Justice, to enable him to obtain from the Chamber of Deputies its sanc tion to proceed against Messrs. Audry de Pnyrayeau arid Cor tnenin, for a letter signed by them and inserted in the number of the 1 Ith of May of the Tribune and the Reformuteur. The President said, that on occasions of this kind it was customary for the Chamber to order the printing and distribu tion of such documents, and also the appointment of a com mittee to hear the accused members. Ile thought that such a course should be observed on the present occasion.—' Hear.) M. Comte asked the Minister of Justice if, to his demand for an authorization to proceed against the two Honourable Deputies, he would annex the original document, which formed the ground of the resolution adopted by the Chamber off' Peers. The Minister of Justice said that he had no answer to make to the hon. deputy, as to the junction of the document which hr required. He (the Minister) had nothing more to do than to announce his demand for an authorization to proceed against the members who had signed the letter, and also to declare the deliberation of the Chamber of Peers, and the communication which had been made to him on the subject. The President reminded the Chamber that a precedent ex isted for its guidance on this occasion. He alluded to the case of M. Cabet, in which the Chamber ordered all the do cuments to be printed, distributed, and submitted to the standing committees. He thought that all discussion would at present be premature, and he would therefore put to the vote the question, as to whether the documents should be printed, distributed, and referred for examination to the stand ing committees. The question being put to the Chamber, was decided in the affirmative by an immense majority. It was also resolved that the proposition should be examined on Friday next in the standing committees. The budget of the Minister for Foreign Affairs was then resumed, but in a few moments most of the deputies quitted the Chamber, and the sitting was adjourned at six o'clock. The Poor'Law Commissioners have authorised the parish officers of Hull to levy a rate of 12,000/. on the inha bitants for a new workhouse. THE BALLOT.—Lord John Russell and his Lady passed through Salisbury, on Thursday, on their way to town. The people crowded round their carriage immediately after their arrival. Lord John shook very cordially by the hand every one who approached him for that purpose, but did not alight. One gentleman, while shaking hands with him, ad dressed him thus :—" My Lord, this (referring to the loss of his election) has convinced me of the necessity of the ballot ; indeed, I am satisfied we must have it." Lord John replied— " I don't know ;" but there was then an immediate shout for the ballot.—Nottingham Review. It is not true that the reporters' hustings at the I Wakefield meeting was knocked down by the violence of the thumps given by the worthy chairman of Mr. Wortley's Corn mittee, in theforcible speech delivered by that gentleman on the nomination day. Monsieur Lomanosoff, with despatches for the Russian Government, took his departure for Hamburg this morning in the General Steam Navigation Company's mail packet the John Bull. MR. BULWER'S NEW WORK, " THE STU DENT."—" Mr. Bulwer is one of the living novelists whose name will go down to posterity, and this not for his brilliant wit, for his knowledge of the world, for the exquisite sentiment of his writings, or the exceeding beauty with which he invests all that he does, but for the fine, and moral, and important truths of which these are made the vehicle. We cannot rise from the perusal of his works without the feeling that we are wiser than before, and, unlike the usual forms in which know ledge is presented, which too generally repel instead of invit ing, we feel an inclination—nay, a longing—for the repeti tion of the feast • not so much from our vivid remembrance of its zest, as from the unavowed, yet innate, feeling that we are the better because we have partaken of it. The present work bears out our opinion. Monos and Daimonos' is in the very h4hest strain of romance, yet without exaggeration. ' The World, as it is,' an amusing piece of light reading. ' Fihoti,' Lake Leman,' and Arasmanes,' are each of them of diffe rent styles, yet each of them exquisite ; and, in ' The New Phmdo,' the author has equalled, if not exceeded, any of his former productions."—Sunday Times. AWFUL DEATH BY LlGHTNlNG.—Yesterday af ternoon, at two o'clock, at the time that the metropolis was visited with a storm of lightning and thunder, a very awful occurrence took place at the house of Mr. Penn, in Walcott place, Kennington-road, who keeps an establishment for the education of young gentlemen. A young gentleman of the name of Stanhope was struck by lightning. The boarders were at dinner, and the unfortunate youth, who was about fourteen years of age, had just arrived at school. He was standing at the foot of the staircase which leads up to the school-room, and which is detached from the house, when an appalling flash illumined the atmosphere, immediately upon which the deceased fell to the ground. Mr. Malcomb, a sur geon of the neighbourhood, promptly attended, and tried to bleed him in the arm, but without success; and on examining the body there was found a deep mark on the right cheek, and which had passed down the right side of the body. On exa mination of the spot near where the deceased stood it was dis covered that part of the floor was burnt, and that the electric fluid had entered the school-room, and had passed down the side of the house, and removed a portion of the bricks, as if done by a pickaxe. Master Stanhope was under the guar dianship of a lady of the name of Watts,, living in Marmion street, and his father who is a merchant, is at present abroad. The body awaits a Coroner's inquest. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 15. There has been a fair demand for Cotton to-day, and the sales may be stated at about 3,000 bags at full prices. viz., 200 Sea Islands, 2s. 2d. a 2s. Cd. ; 00 Surat..

HEINE BROTHERS, CONTRACTORS for the STATE of HAMBURG'S GREAT LOTTERIES, being requested to publish the Scheme of the approaching Sixty sixth Lottery in the English Papers, and to have Tickets on Sale, with Agents in England, beg to state that neither can be done, because it is illegal for the English Newspapers to publish Foreign Lottery Schemes, and for any Agents in England to sell Foreign Lottery Tickets. On the other hand, they beg to state, as it is NOT illegal for any person in England to PURCHASE Foreign Lottery Tickets, that any person desirous to purchase, on addressing them by mail, will receive a full Scheme, and any desirable infor mation on the subject (Gratis), by return of post. HAMBURG, MAY, 1835. HEINE BROTHERS beg to inform all those who have to remit to them Eight Pounds, that upon receipt of a Ten Pound note, Two Pounds will be returned in gold by re turn of mail.

The unprecedented burst of national feeling dis played by the warm-hearted inhabitants of the Sister Island, on the arrival of Lord MULGRAVE among them, as the messenger of conciliation and peace, has proved anything but agreeable to the Orange faction on both sides the of water. The plan of Government adopted by these selfish bigots has always been to look to their own interests alone—to act as if Ireland and everything Irish were made exclusively for their advantage, and consequently to oppress the people to the uttermost of their power. They have, therefore, succeeded most completely in gaining the detestation of the Irish people, who have not failed to express the feeling they entertained whenever a proper opportunity occurred. Any expression of a contrary feeling towards a Liberal Govern ment—any indication of the popularity of the ruling power—is both a condemnation of their prin ciples, and a sore mortification to their vanity. They are, therefore, ready to burst with anger, envy, malice, hatred, and all uncharitableness, because a Lord Lieutenant, coming with justice and the redress of grievances inscribed upon his banner, has met with a cordial welcome. The manifestation of the Christian feelings we have just mentioned will be found in the proceedings which took place in the House of Lords last night. It will be seen that Lord WICKLOW and the Marquis of LONDONDERRY made themselves conspicuous by attacking the Govern ment, for allowing the people of Ireland to testify their approbation of the principles of that Go vernment. The charge was not that the im mense multitude who escorted Lord MULGRAVE into Dublin had been guilty of any breach of tie peace—that any proceedings of a tumultuary character had taken place. No, there was the sting. The pro ceedings were characterized by the greatest decency and order. The people went in procession—as they do in London sometimes—and they had banners too ! " Was ever such a thing heard of," exclaim the Noble Lords ? " Was ever such an indecency permitted by a Lord Lieutenant, or allowed to pass with impunity by a Government ? The Noble Lords never put the question to themselves, how it was to be prevented. If they had done this, they might perhaps have avoided the ridiculous position in which they last night placed themselves. As to the inscrip tions on some of the banners, if such were actually exhibited, as_ they have described, there can be no manner of doubt that they owed their exist ence to the Orangemen and their hirelings. With regard to the Marquis WELLESLEY'S resig nation of the Chamberlainship, we think the Noble Marquis took nothing by his motion but what, poor man, he is too much accustomed to take—disappointment and defeat ; and that not only to himself, but to the whole faction. So far from the Marquis WELLES LEY'S resignation springing out of any disapprobation of the course pursued towards Ireland, or of the late proceedings in that country, as the Tories have asserted through their usual organs, it is now proved on the testimony of Lords MELBOURNE and BROUGHAM that it had not the most distant reference to either of thosecauses. Lord MELBOURNE farther stated that the Noble Marquis entirely agreed with his MA JESTY'S Ministers, on the subject of their Irish policy, and Lord BROUGHAM said that he knew of Lord WELLESLEY'S intention to resign, as far back as Saturday last, two days before Lord MuL GRAVE'S triumphant entry into Dublin. Should the Marquis of LONDONDERRY think of betaking himself to some other than his present calling, we would advise him not to attempt that of a reporter. Fidelity is, above all things, requisite in that profession. We direct particular attention to the admirable speech of Lord BROUGHAM, on presenting the peti- tion of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council of the City of London, praying for the abolition of the stamp duties on newspapers, and the reduction of the duty on paper. As we have so often advocated the reduction or abolition of these duties, we shall only at present say that we cordially concur in the sentiments and arguments so forcibly put forth by the Noble and Learned Lord. It is evident that if knowledge be useful at all, the more universally and freely it is diffused the better. Mr. WILLIAM MILES presented a petition last ni g ht in the House of Commons from the Bishop and Clergy of Bath, praying that a clause might be intro duced into the 'Western Railway Bill to prevent tra velling on Sundays. We wish the Bath Clergy would confine themselves to the discharge of their own apos tolical duties, and not take upon themselves the office of Inquisitors. What is it to them how the people travel on Sundays, provided they do so peaceably ? What saint's devotions are disturbed, what sinner's iniquity is made blacker, by such a practise ? We have no patience with such maudlin cant. Yet absurd— ruinous even to the healthy tone of public spirit—as it is, its spread, we regret to say, is daily on the in crease. Last year, for instance, we were told that to eat a hot joint, or take an airing on the Sabbath, was tantamount to a confession of close intimacy with Satan. This year, we are told that to travel by a railroad is an equally-impious acknowledgment. Next year, we suppose, an attempt will be made to prevent us from swallowing anything more digestible than a long sermon on Sundays ; and so the canting influenza continue to spread and spread, until at length, having fairly worn itself out, society is restored to its original healthy condition. But in the interim, what mischiefs may not ensue from these vexatious attempts on the part of our AGNEWS and OSWALDS, to acce lerate the march of cant among us? Talk of the dan gerous ravings of the Democrat and Republican 1 They are harmless compared with those of the Fanatic; for the inere common sense of the people may operate as a check on the one class of visionaries ; but the other appeals to their diseased imaginations and sensibilities, against which no process of logic can make head—for, this simple reason, that the first and most obvious ten dency of - fanaticism is to confound all the distinctions between right and wrong. We object, therefore, in toto, to all puritanical interference with the Sabbath occupations of the people. The law, as it already stands, is quite strong enough to enforce social order ; and we know of nothing beyond this, that our Le gislators have a right to insist on. If the people prefer hot joints to cold on Sundays, in'Heaven's name, let them have therrh If, instead of walking on foot, they prefer riding in a carriage, let them ride. If they even go the length 'of preferring a rail-road to a high-road, let them have their rail road. The Sunday will not be desecrated by such pre ferences, nor will the great cause of religion suffer by them. There is quite as much piety in a happy coun tenance as in a gloomy one ; nor do we see that Sir ANDREW AGNEW is a whit more virtuous for his frowns, than Mr. O'CONNELL for his smiles. The eyes that are perpetually cast up to Heaven, are not always those that look with the least contempt on earthly matters. At a public Meeting of the friends of negro eman cipation, which took place at Exeter Hall yesterday, Lord BROUGHAM, after some admirable remarks on the inconsistent conduct of the Americans in allowing slaves still to exist among them, while they themselves made such a parade of their own liberty, observed, " it was a foolish notion of some of the statesmen of the modern school to think that standing eternally aloof from the people, was either a just or a prudent line of conduct to adopt ; for his own part, he thought that to appear often before the people, to study their sentiments, to antici pate their wishes, and in doing so, to earn their approbation, was the highest honour that could be arrived at—the proudest feeling that ought to be en tertained by any public man, in or out of office, whe ther armed with power, or, what was much better, supported by influence from without." In these few pregnant words, Lord BROUGHAM has exactly de fined the course of conduct which it behoves a states man to pursue, who desires to win the respect, and con ciliate the affections of his countrymen. The days are gone, never to return, when rank was venerated for its own sake. We now venerate it, solely as it is accompanied by good sense, and generous feeling on the part of its possessor. A Peer, viewed simply as a Peer, is a mere non-entity, not worthy even the honour of a stare ; but as a man of influence, and who exerts that influence in an enlightened spirit—to befriend not to oppress—to conciliate not to overawe—he is entitled to our respect. Who cares one jot for Earl GREY, the Nobleman ? Who does not venerate Earl GREY, the Reformer ? The ermine robe has long lost its dazzle in the eyes of the multitude. It is the heart that beats beneath it that now engrosses their attention. Alluding to the calumnies so lavishly heaped on his head last autumn—especially that monstrous one respecting his intrigues to oust Earl GREY from power—Lord BROUGHAM said, he " had a right to call Earl GREY his esteemed and beloved friend, for he did more to keep him in office than all the rest of his colleagues." What new lies will the Ex-Chancellor's enemies now invent? The old stock being exhausted, it is time that they should lay in a new one., The Paris Papers of Thursday, which have just been received, are enriched with another instance of the chivalrous devotion of the Peers of France to the will of the Citizen Sovereign. We h'ad thought that our own country could boast of a Peerage as tractable as any in Europe ; but we now find that the impres sion was a mistaken o ne. The Peers of France are not merely passive age! Its of the Royal will—they may boast of being actively mischievous when such is the pleasure of their Royal Master. Our Readers will find in another part of The Sun the copy of a message from the Peers to the Ch,lmber of Deputies, demanding the authority of the Cha)pber to proceed againvt such of the Deputies as signed the letter in the Tribune, ' which was commented upon in this Journal on Thurs day. This is a bold proceeding—bolder than any yet carried on by the Chamber of Peers. The President read the message, and it was ordered to be printed for the consideration of the regular Committees. We know not what the Deputies may do with the message ; but if they do their duty to themselves they will at once vote it a breach of privilege, and compel the Peers to withdraw it, after making a suitable apology. The act complained of by the Peers refers to them in their judicial capacity, and, as judges, they are alto gether severed from the Chamber of Deputies, and are denied all redress, save through the channel of crimi nal prosecution in the inferior Courts. Neither can they demand offenders against their jurisdiction, ex cept where the offenders are guilty of high treason, to be delivered up to them ; they not being, con stitutionally, the judges in cases of minor delin quency. The message is therefore unconstitutional in the first place ; and, in the next, it is a breach of the privileges of the Chamber of Deputies, to which the Peers are not entitled to send any mes sage which bears no reference to the legislative func tions and privileges of their Lordships. But even presuming the Chamber of Deputies weak enough to be swayed by the ravings of the Bobadil Duke of MONTEBELLO, and so give up the Depu ties, what, in the name of common sense, can the Peers do with them ? Punish them they cannot, for the offence cannot be construed into high treason, nei- then does it come within the legal interpretation of a contempt of Court, being committed beyond the limits of judicial jurisdiction. In whatever way they pro ceed with them, the accused will have the right of de fence ; and as they are all men of great intellect, the Government has cause to tremble for the results. To prosecute five of the advocates involves a greater risk han the proFiccution of five hundred of the poor silk weavers of Lyons. Prince TALLEYRAND has arrived in Paris. He will set out for his estates in the North in three or four days. The Messager states that several subaltern officers of the regiment in garrison at Courbevoie have been put under arrest, for having written at the head of their report, on the day that the regiment was on duty at Luxembourg, " Service extraordinaire dii proces- monstre."

Accounts from Warsaw, state that the weather in Poland became so severe, and so much snow fell during Easter week, that the people were conveyed to church on sledges. The following anecdote shows the tact of shepherds in prog nosticating changes of temperature. A rich proprietor, two leagues from Warsaw, was rejoicing at the fineness of the weather and the warmth of the first days of April. His shep herd announced that it would snow at Easter, and offered to bet a year's wages against 30 sheep in support of his opinion. The wager was accepted, and on the second day in Easter week the shepherd was put in possession of his little flock. • On the 11th of this month, a poor man, employed by Mr. Cook, a market-gardener, to take up some broccoli roots, discovered under one 22 Spanish gold coins of different sizes and value, and 2 the size of a half-sovereign, to the value of between 41. and 51. It is supposed that the coins had been brought from town with the manure. On Tuesday last the family of Mr. Roberts, No. 14, Church-street, Blackfriars-road, were thrown into the greatest consternation by the sudden disappearance of their d a ughter, a little girl two y ears an d a h a lf old, who, whilst playing, had accidentally fallen down the water-closet. By the prompt exertions, however, of an inmate of the house (to whom the greatest praise is due), who descended in search of the child. it was, after an interval of upwards of half an hour, discovered , and restored to the arms of its astonished parents, with little injury beyond a few bruises. The child is now fast recovering. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY In the LORDS Viscount MELBOURNE, on the presen• tation of a petition from some persons in Staffordshire, praying for agricultural relief, stated that Government meant to carry into effect, so far as was consistent with a consideration of the general interests, his Majesty's re commendation in his speech from the throne, on the sub ject of Agriculture. A discussion took place relative to the late procession in Dublin, when Lord MULGRAVE made his entry into that city. In reference to the resignation of the LORD CHAMBERLAIN, ViSCOURCMELBOURNE said that he had the authority of the Noble Marquis himself to deny that any political difference had occasioned his resignation of the office. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the Common Council of the City of London, praying for a repeal of the Newspaper Stamp Duties. He urged the propriety of removing the tax with much eloquence. Pe titions for a grant to the Scotch Church were presented, after which the House adjourned. In the House of COMMONS Mr. PARKER took the oaths and his seat. The second reading of the Glasgow Waterworks Bill was carried by a majority of 20. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Report ofthe Irish Church Commission was not yet ready. The Marquis of CHANDOS postponed his motion on agriculture till the 25th. Some conversation took place about the late election for Kerry. Mr. ROE BUCK brought forward his motion on Canada affairs ; the debate was interesting and animated. The House went' into a Committee of Supply, and Votes for Civil Contin gencies. Mr. HUME moved an amendment to reduce the vote of 109,558/. for the Yeomanry Cavalry to 30,0001. The Imprisonment for Debt Bill was referred to a Select Com mittee. - The Oaths' Abolition Bill, and the Merchant Seaman's Bill were ordered to be committed on Monday. Colonel EVANS obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the repeal of the Foreign Enlistment Act. Mr. HUME brought forward his notion, of which he gave notice on Thursday, respecting the fees and stamps charged on certain appoint ments, their salaries, and the offices in their disposal. TAXES ON KNOWLEDGE. (From Practical Observations upon the Education of the People. By H. Brougham, Esq:, M.P., F. R. S., London, 1825.) " The first method which suggests itself for the promoting know ledge, is the encouragement of cheap publications.-" " The direct tax upon paper is one cause why books are nearly double the price charged by our neighbours on the Continent." " This tax ought, therefore, by all means to be given up." " A repeal of the tax upon mer, which is truly a tax upon knowledge, and falls heaviest upon those mho most want instruc tion.' TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - - SIR,—.I beg to hand you an extract from the 43 Geo. 3, c. 69, wherein the Parliament has acknowledged that the tax upon paper is a tax upon knowledge ; and in order to promote the encouragement of learning, has given power to the Lords of the Treasury to remit the tax upon paper used in then Uiver sities. I merely point it out to you in order to help the endea vour of those who are about to petition Parliament for the general remission of the duties upon paper : " For the encouragement of learning, the 43 Geo. 3, c. 69, allows a drawback of the whole duty for all paper made in Great Britain, of the first class or denomination, used in printing books in the Latin, Greek, Oriental, or Northern Languages, or in printino - Bibles, Testaments, Psalm Books, &c., within the Universities, by permission of the Vice-Chancellor. And in order to obtain this allowance, the chief manager of the press, in each of the Univer sities, shall make oath in writing before the Vice-Chancellor, ex pressing the quantity of paper used, and the account of the duties; which oath being certified and produced to the Commissioners of the Treasury, they are to cause the Commissioners of Excise to make payment."

It was honoured by the presence of her Royal Highness the Landgravine of Hesse Homburg, who arrived shortly after eleven o'clock. She was attended by Lord and Lady Beresford, Lady Codrington, and the Do wager Marchioness of Salisbury joined the Royal party in the course of the evening. Dancing was kept up with consi derable spirit by a fashionable and select assemblage of about 200 until an early hour this morning. The third dance, at the express desire of the Landgravine of Hesse Homburg was a country dance, with which her Royal Highness seemed consi derably amused. Both on her entrance and departure the National Anthem was performed. We understand that a difference has arisen between two Societies, which have more than once acted in concert, and that offence has been given in a high quarter, by the as sumption of both objects in one Society, each, it seems, pa tronized by the Queen, for very different objects ; and the monopoly of both, by either, is at variance with the etiquette which prevents the King or Queen from patronizing any two rival Societies. It is also likely to lead to an investigation, whether the Royal patronage has not been obtained for a `'trading establishment belonging . to proprietors, instead of a Society for scientific purposes, it being also contrary to eti quette for Royalty to patronize any trading speculations. THE HON. MRS. NORTON'S NOVEL.—" It is a pleasure to meet with a work like the one before us," observes a contemporary, " there is so much vigour united with grace. The characters arc such as cross our path every day ; there is nothing of that high-flown absurdity which too often disfigures works of fiction; and thus its interest, from its very nature and home feelings, is perfect ; while in the heroine there is so much truth, beauty, and reality, that we cannot imagine the sketch, with its accompanying incidents, is wholly the work of invention. We congratulate Mrs. Norton on her success, which must be complete." EDITORIAL GALLANTRY.—" We understand that almost 'the first act' (says the Dublin Register) of our thea trical Chief Governor, was to dispatch to Miladi Morgan,' a vase containing in the interior a large quantity of pickled tongues. We acquit the Viceregal Romeo, of every failing, such as generosity in this transaction—the object of the pre , sent can be best understood from its nature. This vile female has now got her orders to give tongue to her unbridled abuse, of all that is religious and respected amongst us. Sooner would the lamented Haddington have bitten his tongue to pieces than have formed, in such a manner, a league with this she Jacobin." M. DE LAMARTINE'S PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND.—In recording his " Pilgrimage to the Holy LAND," M. De Lamartine has not confined himself to such descriptions as might illustrate the New Testament (though in these he is unusually copious), but has explored, with holy zeal, and untiring research, the scenes rendered for ever me morable in the books of Genesis and Exodus, and in the su blime prophecies of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. He wan dered through the whole of Syria and Canaan ; visited the plain of Tyre and the wells of Solomon; ascended Mount Sinai; crossed the Deserts; viewed the mysterious ruins of Baalbeck ; and traversed those wildernesses where the angel pointed out to Hagar the hidden spring, and where the spi rits of heaven were seen ascending and descending Jacob's ladder. EXTENSIVE AND MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY.—At the anniversary meeting of the London Missionary Society at Exeter Hall yesterday, a robbery to a large amount was com mitted. The Home Secretary of the Society had received from many present, donations. Some sent Bank notes, very many their one, two, or three guineas, while others, who having prudently abstained from carrying to a crowded public meeting a sum equal to that generosity their means afforded, and their will inclined them to, passed up their I 0 1..1's for 50/. 10/. and 5/. 8:c. In hard cash and good securities up wards of 600/. had been placed in the hands of the Treasurer. These monies and papers were put in a bag, which after being tied up, was placed on the table behind the Chairman, and which was on the raised platform, to which none but known persons have access. Th e business over, 4 Psalm Was sung, the people standing. When the singing began the hag was sa f e , at its conclusion it was looked for in vain, Consternation fol lowed, but no Ow to the thief. CHANCERY THIS DAY•, The VICE CHANCELLOR and Mr. Justice BOSANQUET sat Lord Commissioners in Lincoln's-Inn Hall to-day. BARRINGTON V. BARRINGTON. Their LORDSHIPS gave judgment in this bankrupt petition to-day, by which the bankrupt prayed that a fiat of bankruptcY f taken out against him might superseded, on the ground 0 the invalidity of the petititioning creditor's debt. Th ' , Bankrupt previous to the issuing of the Fiat ow taken Ore benefit of the Insolvent Debtors' Act, but had not properly scheduled the debt of the petition ing creditor, who contended that that fact ren dered debt sufficient to suppOrt the fiat. The Bankrupt, on th e other hand, contended that the debt was invalid , and there fore that the Commission could not stand. Their LORDSHIPS were of opinion that the petitioning. cre c i ditor's debt was valid, and ordered the petition to be dismisse with costs. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY. , The Master of the Rolls took petitions and short causes day, but nothing of interest took place. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY•) CARTWRIGHT V. LYDE. Mr. THESSIGER stated the case. It was an action bro° by a baker residing at Cheshunt, against an attorney of same place, to recover a sum of 351. the amount of a bill for '9 I f bread supplied for a period of seven years; a further ou t 1 • 201., the amount of a Bill of Exchange ; and a sum of. 3511 paid to the defendant on account of the plaintiff, making I f i c o t 90/.

It was a very action, and he regretted that the proposition of the no coot, for the defendant had not been acceded to, and have 00 terAfter to be some decidd iscused by s on arbitration. dl it was agreed that the case referred to a gentleman of the bar. shou COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DO' JERROLD V.
