Lord MELBOURNE moved the third reading of the Tittio Insltilliieht Stl4pe,Vtiti Lord WllAtiNdb 1F141.1 thought that it *at fitter folly to suppose that the clergy of Ireland could ever pay the rtithiey that had been lent there, and the sooner the country made up their Minds to lose the money the !Jetta, With respect to the Irish Church Bill, that, hi his opinidn vraS °Tie of the most mischievous measures that had tier both intrOdueed. the House of clottinitina had Stated that they neverpaSS Ali With out an appropriation clause for the surplus, while ill§ fad was that there *as no surplus. Viscount MELBOURNE Contended that the observations of the Noinc Lotd fritlfh to the drikingl Which granted the loan as to that no* before their bordsitipt. 'the gez, ble Lord had contended that the Government ought net td t+sibe' lent that money td the Protestant Clergy of Ireland.—( Hear.) But it It were necessary to tall their Lordships' attention to the eircum.stanees under which hat bill had been introduced into the oth e r I-louse, find he (LA:O Nielbotirtie) would otitetid it had been repeatedly stated in that flonge, that It *d.4 iidt a grant but a loan—that it was a charge on the people of Eng land for the maintenance and . sustentation of the Protestant Establishment in Ireland=it Vad been stated that th e Govern hielit intended to insist upon the fdeaeiT et the ttl , ?ttey and with that distinct understanding the House of Commons had passed the Bill, and Parliament had concurred in that loan: The Noble Loll had said that the sooner his Ma jesty's Clovetnment it tip their thitifil. to tile money never being repaid the better. • He ( Viscount Meilkiiiffte) had been ready to do that if it could have tended to the general settlement of the whole question—if it had been made part of the settlement of that measure, and have thereby laid the foundation of lasting religious peace In Ireland. But would the Noble Lord say that without having any meant of ascertaining whether the clergy had the means of repaying that loan or not= will the Noble Lord 'assert that the Govern ment would be discharging its duty to the count r y, th a t it wou ld he acting in anedondrdidal ipiecm i ' tipoti etlittfged political views, if, without any arrangement having been entered into—ii'ithz out any palliating or justifying circumstances—they were now to give up all that money to the clergy, witho u t anyt hi ng having been advanced to justify them in such a course?—_( Hear.) The Noble Lord had said it was impossible that the Clergy could ever pay back that money. With respect to the amount advanced generally, that might be the case. But the Noble Lord must be aware that a sum . of 102,0001. per annum in the shape of tithes had been undertaken by the landlords. Should not the Government have the discretion confided to them of enforcing the re-payment of that money wherever they might deem it necessary, and withhold it wherever justice or com passion prompted them to do so? The Noble Lord had alleged that Government had been a ctuated by a niggardly spirit —tat he ( Lord Melbourne) denied. The Noble Lord had condemned the conduct pursued by his Majesty's present Government when in as well as when they had been out of power—he had con demned the clause of appropriation passed by the House of Com mons, and the resolutions founded thereon, but he ( Viscount M. ) could not agree with the Noble Lord in his condemnation, in any respect. He ( Viscount Melbourne) thought the resolu. tions alluded to had been agreed to reasonably, wisely, and prudently by the House of Commons. ( Hear, hear.) If their Lordships had agreed to the reasonable measure of reform for the Irish Church which had been proposed in the other House, the question would have been set at rest ere that period. Their Lordships had, however, viewed tke matter in a different light, and he (Viscount M.) concurred with the Noble Lord opposite that the question had been left in an extremely unsatisfactory state ; but this he would dis tinctly affirm that his Majesty's Government were not in any way responsible for that state of things.—( Hear.) Lord ELLENBOROUGH observed that the tenants were liable for the arrears of the preceding occupier, which was extremely unjust towards them, and preju dicial to the landlords. Under Lord Stanley's Act, it was provided that if the landlord undertook to pay the arrears of tithes, he could enforce payment from the tenant. But the operation of that Act had been greatly impaired by a fear, on the part of the landlords, that in undertaking the arrear, they would become liable for the future tithes. It was not his intention, how ever, to go into the details of this qdestion, but he must say that he did think the Noble Viscount, and his friends responsible for the resolution to which he had alluded.— ( Hear.) There was no hope that that resolution would ever be agreed to by that House, and the Noble Viscount must have known it when he took upon himsclf the Government. That resolution formed a new, a necessary, and a permanent obstacle to that union of public men which the noble Viscount and the Noble Marquis must know, was necessary to the welfare of the country, and which never could be established while that resolution stood. There was no hope that they would assent to that resolution. He did not speak in reference to any opinions he held as a public man but he alluded t o feelings of a far stronger character, which were not only entertained by Members of this House, but by a large number of persons, both in this country and in Ireland, who were members of the Established Church, and who felt that it would be sacrilege to agree to such a principle as that contained in that resolution. . Yeti Mid yOur Lords actually agreed t o reduce the Protestant tlergy from every 1001. to 721. 165., that is, a loss of 27/. ss. upon every 100/. of kr,14.1 This plan r'.t.t 'and your Lords not only agreed to this year, but urVit on the Government to complete It. It is true that by another piece of folly-1 mean the rejection of the appropriation clauses—rendered it impossible for the Wyatt: ment to comply. But let it not be Fist sight of that you and your Apsley House Co*,ter being a majority of the House of Lords ) this year agreed to the reduction of tithe income In Ireland 20. bs. per cent.—that is, to 721. 15s. for every hundred pounds. But what did you and these same Lords do lost par 0 Why, you rejated a Bill not containing Ally obnoxious appropria- Cub clause, and giving the litutAtant clergy in Ireland 771. 10s. per cent. ! t Let thit, bb but understood. Last year the Irish Protest al.!*Alergy could have got 711. 10s. per etnt, gßait'eci, payable at the Treasury ; but that you and your Lords prevented it, and threw out the Bill. This rein you and your Lords offered and pressed that a "Bill should pass giving but 721. 15s, per tent. to that clergy, Instead of the 771. 10s., which they might have had, if you had permitted them, last year. And after this you fall back on your piety, and insist, for• sooth, that the Irish Protestant clergy are not to be rubbed ! Why, who is r o bbi ng th em ? I s i t not you and your " war battalion ?" Last year they could have had perfectly secured to them 771. ies. per cent. You refused and rejected it. This year you offered to take 721. lbs. per cent., but at the same time destroyed the 13111 which was to secure it. Was there ever folly, absurdity—should 1 not add wicked ness—equal to this? What will you take next year ? Why, I suppose you will be delighted with getting 601. per cent., as was at one time proposed. The purchaser of the Sibyline books was vastly wise, compared with the party of which you are the leader and manager. But what a party his which you do manage. How I should like to see a "catalogue raisonnee" of the whole. Winchilsea immersed in fanaticism and fatuity ; Lyndhurst, buoyant in legal dexterity and political tergiversation ; Newcastle, stam mering unintelligible arrogance ; Kenyon, blubbering Orange rhapsodies; the sinecurist Ellenborough (how long is he to have this sinecure ?) talking low Toryism ; and the sagacious Devon, more of a elm k still than a Lord. But I am weary of the muster-roll. I only exclaim, as I review the entire, « Be these the masters of the British people? Are these the absolute and unaccountable arbiters of the destinies of millions ?" What drivelling nonsense to talk of constitution a l r i g h ts or lib er ties of freedom—of social guarantees OF LIBERTY-if these, and such as these, be the uncontrollable regulators of all that is near and dear to free born souls. Two hundred men, the masters of millions ! and the millions daring to assume any other denomination than that of slaves Oh, shame !" But for the present I forbear this topic, and I come back to the Irish part of your colleagues—those especially who have assailed me. They are few and foolish. And, first, there is Londonderry —bless the mark ! The sapient Londonderry, described by an uneducated Irishman in terms you would call vulgar, but which I believe to be very accurate, " as not having under standing enough to herd geese upon a common." I verily believe, for my part, he would riot know how many he ought to bring home in the evening, although I answer for it he kould bring home one goose more than could be eaten. Then there is Lord Limerick, the only man upon whose estate it is a familiar thing to have human beings die of hunger. He has a large income. Did anybody ever hear of his con tributing to a charity ? And yet this aged being is quite vivacious when any m is c hi e f i s to b e d one to I re l an d. Next I should enrol Lord Strangford. But for the pre sent I shall spare him, with this caution—not to assail me again, else I will publish his hereditary honours in the shape of an act of the Irish Legislature. He will understand me, and pass me unnoticed in future. I am, indeed, weary of describing, even so shortly, those who have made personal attacks upon me. I come back readily to the influence I possess in Ireland, which you call power, and simply ask how much you and your party in the Lords have done, this Session, to continue and consolidate that power. First.—You have annihilated the Irish Church Reform Bill, and wisely insisted that the Irish Protestant Establish ment should be kept up to the most superfluous extent of inutility. Second.—You have rejected the Irish Constabulary Bill, which would have effectually converted the Irish police from a partizan into a protective force--diminished its expense whilst it increased -its efficiency—and this you did on the very worst principles of partizanship—that is, because the Bill contained an oath prohibitory of Orange or other illegal societies. For this most insufficient reason, Ireland is deprived of an economic and most useful measure. Third.—You threw out the Irish Marriage Bill, and left the guilty parent to revel in his iniquity with impunity, whilst you inflict all the punishment upon the innocent and defenceless children. Oh what heads and hearts there are amongst you Tories, lay and episcopal Fourth.—You rejected the City of Dublin Police Bill, and left th'at, city to the protection of a most inefficient and expen siv-4 police—the expenditure over 48,000/. a•year—the utility below zero—and this was done lest the bigoted and beggarly Corporation of Dublin should have any of its blushing honors tarnished. Fifth—You effectually cushioned the Irish Corporation Reform Bill, and left the hornets to enjoy, fur one year more, the plunder and the venom of their own corruptions. You have given them another year of impunity and peculation, al though you are aware that there are but 13,000 corporators of all sorts and sizes to manage the municipal affairs of cities and towns comprising more than 900,000 inhabitants. Lastly—You have rejected the Irish Registry of Voters 'Bill—one of the wisest, the most impartial, the most useful measures to the purposes of economy and justice that ever was brought into Pailiament. It is quite true that if that Bill passed into law no more seats in the House of Commons would be disposed of by the oaths of Tory Committees—to you a de plorable consequence. After all this black catalogue of mischief you may complain of what you call undue influence and power, but as a rational man I scruple not to ask you what prospect there can be of diminishing that influence or power, whilst the only hope of Ireland is centered in those friends to whom she concedes that power, and who she knows by experience will persevere in ceaseless exertions, until they extort from reluctant and selfish bigotry a full measure of justice for Ireland ? Even the letter I now address to you is one of the labours of my vocation. It demonstrates to the people of England the persevering malice of those who refuse to Ireland any relief or redress. It makes the wise and the good in this country un derstand the pertinacious iniquity which weighs down Ireland, and weakens every part of the British dominions.. I conclude with assuring you that there is but one way to destroy the power of the agitators in Ireland : it is to put that country on a perfect equality of 'rights, privileges, and fran_ chises with Great Britain. We demand no more—we never will be content with less. From you we expect no aid—you have always hated or lespised your own country—you never called yourself -an Irishman. There is that about you so ungcniil as never to have been shared by any other native of the green and lovely isle. There is another feature in your character perhaps more strange still. It is this : you are the only man who has attained greatness without having once used a generous or ennobling sentiment. 'I here is nothing of the " mons divi nior" in yoUr composition ; you were never accused of bring ing forward modest or unpatronized merit ; the objects of your patronage were, and are, your parasites, or worse. You, also, were never suspected of one generous action. Again, see what your history as a statesman is ; one month you declare publicly that you should be mad if you were to accept office—the-next month found you Premier! Again, you declared that the old rotten borough and ncmi nation system was the perfection of human wisdom. Yes, it is literally true—you called it the perfection of human wisdom, and now, forsooth, you are a follower of the Tamworth Re former, who only pants for power to extend the blessings of reform to all the branches of the State For the present I have done with you. My next " fami liar epistle" shall be to your reforming colleague, Sir Robert Peel, in reply to the impudent specimen of clap-trap hypocrisy exhibited by him at Tamw•orth. I have the honour to be, my Lord Duke, With all the ceremony of courtesy, Your obedient servant, DANIEL O'CONNELL. The bronze statue erected to the late Baron Cuvier, Was inaugurated on the 28th ult., at Moatbeliard, the native Pliee of the Brett aetltralist. The Marquis of WESTMEATH begged to call the atten tion of the House and his Majesty's Government to the difficult situation in which the landlords of Ireland were placed by the un certainty of the law on the subject of tithes; that uncertainty was sapping the morals of the country, and pressed most heavily on those landlords who were proprietors of tithes themselves, upon whom the Clergy had turned round though they could not get in their own tithes. He would always lay it to the door of a Noble Earl now in that House, who, when Chancellor of the Exchequer, proclaimed that' tithes were extinguished. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said a few words in reply, which were totally inaudible in the gallery. After a few words from the Earl of R 0 DEN, the Bill was read a third time and paised.. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented a petition from Yarmouth in favour of the amendments to the Municipal Reform Bill. The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage. and the House adjourned at 20 minutes to six till to morrow at half. past three. The Edinburgh. Courant, reporting two cases of in cendiarism at Linlithgow, in which sentence of imprisonment, for a short lime, was pronounced, says—." This offence has of late been rather common in various parts of the country, but it is hoped that it will be effectually checked by such examples." THE HARVEST.—The' cutting and housing of corn is proceeding very rapidly in all parts of the county of York. If the weather should continue fine another week, two thirds of the white cern will be got in, and nearly the whole cut. In the cold land on the moor sides, and in the districts from Harrogate to Skiptou the crops are more backward; . and there is much corn uncut. The crops are generally good of all kinds of grain The late rain, without being at all detri mental to corn, has produced abundance of grass and fog, and much improved the turnip and potato crops.— Yorkshire'Gaz. THE COUNTRYMAN, IN LONDON—A STALE TRiCK. —Yesterday Mr. Edward Aldridge, a respectable farmer, residing in Bedfordshire, made the following com plaint at the different station-houses of being robbed of 20 sovereigns. From his statement it 'appeared that he arrived in London on Saturday morning, and proceeded along the New-road on his way to the house of a friend whom he was going to visit ; on reaching the Colosseum he was engaged in admiring that spl e ndid b u ildi ng , w h en h e was accosted by a stranger, who politely asked hint if he was quite . well. He said, " I don't know you ;" when the stranger answered " Oh, yes, you do, in Bedfordshire, from which place, I suppose, you have just come up." He replied "that he had," when the stranger said, " You look fatigued, I am going to have a pint of porter, if you like to partake of it you may with pleasure." They then entered the parlour of the Caf6 Co losseum public-house, where, having sat a short time, the stranger said " I am one of the luckiest fellows in England. I came up three days ago to receive 8001. which had been. left me, but I hav6 sent 700/. to Bedfordshire, where I live, and have kept 1001. in my pocket to stop a few days and see life—do you think it safe to keep that money loose about me? " " No, Ido not," replied Mr. Aldridge, " put it in a purse." " I've got none„' said the stranger, " but will wrap it in brown paper." He then pulled out what appeared to be Bank notes, and having wrapped them up asked Mr. A. to put them in his fob for him, which the latter did. He then advised Mr. Aldridge to do the same with his money, and he having wrapped up 20 sovereigns gave it to the stranger to put in his fob, but having heard 'of the tricks of sharpers kept a watchful eye on hi s h and, and on the job being finished felt satisfied that a ll was r i ght. The stranger then gave Mr. Aldridge a so vere i gn, w hi c h he pressed upon him, for adv i s i ng him how to take. care of' his money, and hoping they might soon meet again, went away. Mr. Ald r id ge i mme diately went to his f r i en d and told him how soon he had earnt a sove ., reign. His fri en d t o ld him •to see if his money was s afe, when he laughed at th e id ea, sa,;ing be was certain it w as safe, as he had. wat c h e d th e man. hand all the time it w a s at his fob ; on looking, however, be ultimately found th a t th e - sove reigns had been abit r aC te d and f our ' hal f pence and three farth i ngs substituted instead..

The quantity of tian4annas was 13,065 4nci 4,114 pieces of Korahs, forming the rmoinder of the stock of Om .tornpany's importation.

MAIVYLEBONE RADICAL ASSOCIATION. , -- , /ent night, at eight o'clock, a very numerous meeting of the wodi , ing classes was held at the Mechanics' Institution, Circus street, New-road, Mr. Veargus O'Connor in the chair. The object of the meeting was to extend the elective franchise, to obtain equal representation, annual Parliaments, and vote by ballot, and thus carry out the principles of the father of Refortn, the late Major Cartwright. Several resolutions to that effect were proposed and carried, and a Society este bdshed. A committee was then appointed to draw up the rules and regulations of the Society, and it was agreed that they should report their proceedings at a general meeting to be held next week. A new road has lately been opened to travellers from Paris to Strasburg ; it is much less hilly than the old one, and is Macadamised nearly the whole way ; there is a saving, moreover, of money and time. The distance from Paris to Vitry by the new road being only 20 posts three-quar ters, while that by Meaux, the old road, is 25. IMPROVEMENTS IN HYDE PARK.—On Monday last Sir Benjamin C. Stephenson, K. G. H., one of the Com missioners of Woods and Forests, accompanied by Alexander • Milne,. Esq., the Secretary, and several other gentlemen, made a general survey and inspection of Hyde Park, prepa ratory to commencing the projected improvements and altera tions which the Board has ordered forthwith to be proceeded in. It is intended that the present Lodge of the Park- keeper in the Rural Cottage, with the extensive barns, wood-houses, &c., adjoining the receiving-house of the Royal Humane So ciety shall be pulled down, and on their site erected, in the modern style of building, the required offices of the Park, in a line with the residence of Mr. Dawson, the superintendent of the Park, and the enclosed portions of garden ground at the back of these premises are to be converted into shrub beries, ornamenthir the ride by the river. The footpaths are to he re-Made, and rendered more level, and, to prevent ac cident; the deep declivity of the shelvinc , bank of the river adjoining the footpath is to be considerably lessened. An in spection of the timber in the Park is also to be made, in order to supplant that which is in decay, by young and vigorous trees. The bed of the river is likewise to be thoroughly cleared out, and in a few days the water will be gradually let off. It is estimated that the work will eccupy about two months, and give employment to a number of hands. On Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, a most dreadful fire took place at a farm in the holding of Mrs. Price, called Bubney, situate about two miles from the town of Whit church, on the Malpas-road, which, we are sorry to say, could not be got under before the whole of the farm buildings, stacks of hay and corn, together with three cottages, were entirely consumed. How the fire originated is not known. The buildings are the property of the Countess of Bridgewater, and are not, we believe, insured.—Staironishire Advertiser. Last week, s person who has for a considerable time past been disordered in his mind, and who resided at Quarrel, a collier village near Carron, having met with two acquaint-• anees, they supplied him with whisky. In their going home they had to pass one of, the many deep coal pits in that quarter, when the unfcrtunate victim, from intoxication, of course being advised by his unthinking companions, leaped into it ! The poor fellow was killed on the spot. We presume the Sheriff will look after this shocking case.—Glasgow Herald. One of the most extensive drain shops in Darlington has been converted into a Temperance Coffee-house, having every convenicnv for rational amusements, and it is confi dently expected it will meet with encouragement.

DISTRESSING CASt.- , ---011 Monday week one of ' those distressing and heart-rending scenes, which unfortu nately are of too frequ e nt oceurteneei URI plate in the parish of Alarylebone. It apyars that On the thotning hi 9tiestiVri tt decently clad, but- truly distressed, female, named Mary ,Do !lolly, about 26 years of age, who between four and five months ago quitted Ireland in the hope of bettering her condition, leaving her husband in a state of starvation behind, applied to the parochial antheritles et the Workhouse for relief, having been unable to obtain employment of any description in toren, The Board was then sitting ; but although she represented ttr them her truly deplorable slate, alleging at the same time that she expected every hour to be confined, her application for relief was answered by one of the persons present, rho told her nothing could be done for her. She then, In a state of mind bordering on distraction and despair, left the place, and on reaching th - e street, sat herself down ,I,:v the workhouse door, and gave vent to a flood of tears ; a uurAer of persons quickly congregated at the spot, a n d among t h em a f ema l e p a uper with ree th children, who advised the poor creature to apply at the Queen's Lying-in Hospital for admission. The wretched -be ing then got up, and with assistance made her way so far as the infirmary in the New-road, when she declared that she could proceed no further, and sinking down at the door, said, " she su pp ose d s h e must lie there and die." For about an hour she did lie there, when another poor woman who was passing, having ascertained that she occupied a garret in Ho race -street, Edgeware-road, procured a little tea and sugar, which a weekly pittance just received by her from the work house for the support of her own family enabled her to pur chase, and offered to accompany her home ; it however, became fully apparent, before they had got many paces, that unless the wretched being was speedily lodged in some asylum,. she would, in all probability give birth to a child in the public road. The greatest exertion was used by som eof the by standers to assist her to the Lying-in-Hospital alluded to, which is situate within twenty yards of the Yorksh.;re Stingo, Paddington.

CLOSE Or SALE AT LORD CANTERBURY'. Ph LACE-YARD. At five o'clock yesterday aftenmon, Mr. Robins closed his nine days of consecutive and laborious perg . ,,00.2.. and it was observed that the auction to the last was as welt atten2ed. as it was possible it could be, when we consider the very thin 3,:. 1 te of the population; it is always the case at this season. and re markably so this year. On 'the two last days the articles sold were of the second rate, and inferior grades of household moveables - . There was, however, a fair spirit of competition, but the weather, which had been remarkably fine during the preceding days, changed to heavy and continued rain on the last day, and this, probably, slackened the fire, or the number of competitors. The turn total which was realised may be considered, under all the circumstances, as rather above than below what good judges expected would have been the maxi mum. The following list _of each day's sale may be gratify ing to our readers. .On Saturday, August 29, first day, 601/. ; Monday, second day, 1,0591. ; 'Tuesday, 8681. ; Wednesday, 039/. ; Thursday (books), 2411. ; Friday (books), 377/. ; Saturday, September 5 (books), 265/. ; i(londay, Sept. 7, eighth- day (furniture), 429/. ; Tuesday, ninth day (furniture, Sc.), 2221. ; tire total of which, with the fractions of pounds added to each day's safe, amounts to within a very little of four thousand seven hundred pounds.

It will be decided on I; s riday next. Little is known of the men, particularly Bartlett, but. those who have had an excellent opportunity of witnessing their prowess declare that men inure even could not possibly have been pitted against each other.

" This ought to be the most successful book of its class that has appeared during the pre sent season ; for ourselves, we declare that none has afforded us so much pleasure.• The tales are rich in variety, in highly wrought scenes, and in true delineations of 'the peculiar man ners of an interesting people. Mr. St. John has watered with the fruitful streams of his imagination the rich soil he was to render prodUctiVe, and has succeeded in creating a work which, for vividness of fnney, elegance of mind, and purity of style, may compete with its most successful contem poraries in the same field of literature."— Court Magazine.

OPENING OF SHEERNESS NEW PlER.—Yester day this useful public improvement was opened in due form by Lady and Admiral Fleming, accompanied by the authorities of the place, the architect, contractor, master-builder, the Committee, subscribers, and the influential gentlemen of the town, who were preceded by bands of music playing the national airs. The procession Was saluted by the firing of guns from the vessels off iihore,feux-de, , " i oie from the heights. the ringing of bells, and the cheerful shouts of the assembled Topulaca, in the afternoon an interesting regatta for various -'razes , afforded much amusement ; and, notwithstanding - a shower of rain, the whole - ceremonial passed off in V*• • ' e s -- ; • • ' ~n~'>G ~ '~ ~`~ YORK MU,51 . 6.A.1. FESTIVAL. The bustle of the festival has fairly set in. The st,treetsi . 11 are crowded, and every moment travelling carrines. are:3rr dashing up to the principal hotels. At an early hour morning (Monday) the Member z' of the Corporation weofV, 4 making preparations for proceeding to Bishopsthorpe, to • - •unen present the address to. the Duchess of Rcnt ; and at test,,..o'Clork the procession set . out, beaded b y a b..,•.nd music, the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and Common C . , , dressed in their robes of office. The deputation p, - oceeded by water, and on arriving at the Palace was most graL.;ously received, as was also the deputation with the address agl'eed. upon at a meeting of the inhabitants a few days ago. 'Elio, latter, which was read by the Lord Mayor, was as fth:- lows : " TO PIER ROYAL HIGHS:FAS TILE DEcTIEsS OF RENT. ,s—The inhabitants of' which the " May it please your Royal H i g hth: e Princess the city of York, proud of the hig h hone ' ll a pre sence of your Royal Highness and that of tae Vic toria confers upon this ancient city , be g leave to .approach your Royal Highness with sentiments of p rofound reeps-ct and affection. They eagerly avail themselves of a,:ee happy opportunity of expressing to your Royal Highness ins 4 the heiress presumptive to the British throne their sentiments of devoted attachment to your . illustrious house, whose benign` sway has conferred so many blessings upon these realms. They trust your Royal Highness will deign to accept of there. congratulations, upon your visit to a city once the abode of Royalty, and which has been honoured by the presence of many of your august family; and that your Royal Highnesses may long live to adorn that high and important station in which Providence has placed you, is 6e earnest prayer of the inha bitants of York, as, they doubt not, it is of those of the whole British empire." The address from the Corporation %les of similar import, an ,: was read by the Recorder. To eaci: the Duchess of K ent ab ed the Princess Victoria listened with . very marked and in her replies the Duchess express'qd, attention, on be half o f h erse lf a eid the Princess, the sincere gratificestion at the reception they h ed experienced in their visit to the pity of York. It being knOin that their Royal Highnesses were to pay a visit to the Mansion House immediately' after the presentation of the adt:."esses, the streets through which the Royal party bad to pass were lined with crowds, anxious to have a view of the Princess; and the windows of the houses were also filled with elegantly dressed ladies. About two o'clOck, the carriages containing ,tie Royal per sonages and their attendants made their appea'ance, and their approach was hailed with loud cheers. The carriages drew up at the Mansion House, and his Grace the Arch-• bishop of York, who accompanied their Highnesses, alighted, and gave his arm to the Princess, who paused a few moments to return the greetings of the assemblage ere she entered the house. After remaining to partake of an elegant collation the Royal party returned to the Palace, the crowds thronging round the carriage as before, to get a glimpse of the Royal b personages, the ladies in the windos's cheering also and waving their handkerchiefs. The Princess: was a little flushed, but looked remarkably well, and the Duchess was evidently gratified by the kindly feeling ma nifested towards herself and her daughter. The streets continued much thronged during the evening, and the greatest anxiety pre" tils for the commencement of the fes tival to-morrow morning. The Committee sit at the Guild hall to superintend the issue of the tickets, and the demand, I understand, considerably exceeds that upon the occa sions of the former festivals in 18'23, 1825, and 1828. The arrangements in the Minster are admirable, and en title the Committee to the highest prai:e. The steps of the entrance by the great south doors cre covered by wooden barricades divided into three Winding passages, in order to guard as much as possible from the pressure which occasioned so much serious inconvenience at the former fes tivaLa At the west front there is a curved staireasellead ing, into the side galleries, through the extreme windows in the south aisle of the nave, and at this point there is principal entrance to the gallery for the Royal and other distinguished personages, which covers the two western en trances, and stands over the whole length of the front. On the outside, standings have been erected for those who may be desirous of witnessing the arrival of the distinguished visitors. On the north side of the Minster another en trance has been provided, so that with all those facilities of ingress and of egress, it is to be premixed that very little difficulty or trouble will be experienced by any one—even the most delicate and timid. The appearaaece of the inte rior almost baffles description. The splendor and magni ficence that bursts upon the eye—the boldness s:nd simpli city of the architecture of this celebrated fabric—beautiful, vet solemn and severe ; the " dim religious light" streaming among the aisles through the richly-tinted windows impeess upon the mind of the beholder a:feeling of vastness, and sins , - lirnity, and veneration of the most stirring and elevating cha racter. You step timidly and cautiously—you seem as if by magic instantaneously placed far above the petty and selfish e e ,:ings of humanity—the bones of the mighty dead. are moultLering around you, and you approach, as it were, the portals e ra future and illimitable world. . No man :can look u pot , this splendid pile, .which puts to shame the ar chitectural ension4 oft the nineteenth century, without , sensations which ivords cannot describe. Compared to it the gingerbread anal gilded edifices of our .days stealing timidly into view, acid ,mixing up all orders in one common hash, are paltry .and inscnilicant indeed. If our superio rity over our ancestors be measured by our progress in architectural skill, alas ! :alas ! for . the schoolmaster and tile boasted intellectuality of the age ! Let the "philoso pher and the Statesman, and these who would poison with their prejudices and their narrow see..! contracted habits the charities and the holiest' feelings see our nature,. explain whence is this falling off among the neoderns in the most elevated branch of art, and one which requires for its suc— cessful prosecution the greatest breadth and grs;sl) of mind. That our deficiency is sadly apparent is evidences by every relic of by-gone times we have around us, and we - have' Often to lament that, as the spirit of particular periods prevail, a higotted or a Vandal feeling would level with the.dust every splendid reeniorial of the ages that have preceded us. I had never heard the service of the Church of England to such advantage as in the York Minster ; and it is dur ing the performance of Divine worship that you feel to its .full extent the force and effisct of the architectural grandeur that, surrounds you. There is nothing petty, nothing insignificant, nothings tawdry. It in all things corresponds with the solemnity of the occasion, and pro duces mingled feelings of admiration and awe. The voices of' the cholr, and the full peal of the mee - nificent organ, roll throughout, the venerable Cathedral with indescribable effect, and as the tones now soft and pathetic burst out into the loudness of thunder, your feelings become so strongly and so highly excited, that you are for the momeot almost utterly enable to sustain yourself against an influence so overpower:ng and overwhelming. And just similar de we find the resin l .'s when devotional feel:tig is joined Ivith the simplicity of na.:'ire, as we speak of it at present in con nection with the s p;:m..7id combinations of art just when we listen to the nide and stern eloquence of the mountain preacher, and het:" the untaught voices of nis peasant audience raised to the 1117ilitiei of his Creator atni the wildnesses and. bleakness of ti,eir native hills. rt is paying no small coinpliiitt-:.nt to those who had the difficult duty assigned them of maleirees the interior prepa- , rations in the Minister that they have petYorined their task in th manner which reflects much credit ti?on their skill and their good taste.

Yester day morning the report of fire-arms , and piercing shrieks issuing from their chamber, spread alarm. through the house, and upon some neighbours hastening to enter, a frightful scene presented itself. The young man had his head horribly shattered and was expiring in the arms of his mistress, who herself had her breast and shoulder perforated by a ball. It appears from her statement that while she was asleep her lover fired the pistol, which occasioned his own death and wounded her. He had taken the precaution, before he put the pistol into his month, to place his head under the arm of his mistresi - , so that the ball might pass - through his head and strike her heart.
