INFANCY. --.Asher Davis, an Israelite, was opposed by Mr. Coon, on the part of Mr. Jonas Defries, for the damages (401.) recovered in an action for slander. He was supported by Mr. WOODEOFFE. In this case Dr. Hershell, the High Priest of the Jewish Synagogue, attended to prove the age of the insolvent, and the Commissioners, for the accommodation of the Doctor, took the case out of its turn. Mr. COOKE said the insolvent was only eighteen years of fie, arid could not, according to the decisions of the Court, execut e the necessary documents. The insolvent admitted he was not of age. Mr. WOODROFFE remarked that he had been some months in custody. The ComussloNEns said they had no other alternative than to dismiss the petition. The petition was dismissed accordingly. IN THE MATTER OF MICHAEL JACOBS. The circumstances of this case were peculiar :—The insolvent was before the Court on Friday, and ordered to attend to-day, to receive judgment on a case of fraud, Which was established against him by a Mr. Levi Jacobs, a skin salesman. The insolvent had obtained goods of Mr. Jacob s on two bills of exchange, which, he had admitted in prison, were forgeries. The insolvent, in his hearing, threw himself on the mercy of the Court. He was remanded for two years, the full period of the Act. This morning it was stated the insolvent had on Saturday gone out of custody. An application was made and granted fo r the bills which the Court had impounded.

The order of the day and other official documents sub oined will show with what wisdom the Government has met the embarrassment , into which this unexpected occurrence has thrown it, since the elevation of his Excellency the Duke of Terceira to the Command-in-Chief ad interim of the army, is of itself a pledge of tranquility and confidence. Her Majesty the Queen desires that, in demonstration of the sentiments of grief occasioned by the death of her august spouse, there be worn deep mourning for the space of three months, and lighter mourning for three months longer. " Head -Quarters-General at St. John da Praca, March 28. SPECIAL ORDER. " Charged with the painful duty of announcing to the army the premature and melancholy occurrence of the much-la mented death of his Royal Highness Prince Augustus, I have also to fulfil th a t o f pu bli s hi ng , b y R oya l letter anddecree, which are hereto annexed, the distinguished honour which her Most Faithful Majesty the Queen has just conferred upon me provisionally the Command-in-Chief of the Army. " A sharer in the labours, dangers, and fatigues which the military of all ranks have undergone with inimitable con stancy ; and participating in the glory which has been ac quired in the heroic enterprise of restoring the legitimate throne of the Queen and the liberty of her country, I have a right to expect from the Generals, Officers, inferior Officers, and soldiers, all that co-operation in supporting that same throne and those institutions which have already cost us so much blood and such bitter sacrifices. For my own part, I shall spare no efforts, but shall labour, as far as my strength will permit, to deserve the confidence which the army has already shown in me in crises the most fearful. And certain I am that by its union, the true parent of strength, by its dis cipline and good -conduct, of which it has given so many proofs, that army will know how to oreserve the reputation which it has acquired, and to gain the esteem of its fellow -1 I citizens. " DUKE OF TERCEIRA." ROYAL LETTER. " Honoured Duke of Terceira, Peer of the Kingdom, Marshal of the Army, Cousin,—l, the Queen, greet you well. The command in chief of the army having been vacated by the fatal and unexpected occurrence of the death of the Prince Dom Augustus, my much-beloved and well-esteemed husband, whom heaven place in glory, and it being imperiously neces sary to fill up that important command, wishing to continue to give the same army proofs of my consideration and esteem for its valuable services, I have been pleased, by a decree of the present date, to charge you provisionally with the com mand in question, confiding to your experience, zeal, and pa triotism, and to your interest for the prosperity of the nation and its liberties, of which you have already given so many proofs at the head of the Portuguese troops, that you will dis charge faithfully this honourable and important commission. And this I have thought proper to address to you for your in struction and its proper execution. " Given at the Palace of Necessidades on the 28th of March, 1835. " The QUEEN.

TRIESTE, MARCH 2.--For some time past the accounts from Greece arc rather more unfavourable. It seems that the states man who has the power in his hands, led by his enmity to Coletti and his friends, and unconsciously guided by M. Daw kins, the old mischief-maker of Greece, promotes the views of the party which is hostile to the new throne. This party is chiefly active in the Pelopennesus ; in Hydra too, from which we hear of scenes of great distress, the temper of the people is not as it should be ; and in Rumelia the effccts of the enterprise of Tafel Busi are felt. The troops are besides few in number, and scattered in garrisons at Athens, Chalkis, Zeituni, Missolonghi, Corinth, Patras, Modon, Coron, and Kalmata, The Rumeliots, who saved the Government in the first insurrection, think themselves neglected.

Wolverh am pt on C uron iele. THE SUN, LON DON, MONDAY, APRIL 6, 1835 PARLIAMENTARY PAPER. ABSTRACT of a BILL for the Amendment of the Laws respecting WILLS, as amended by the Committee.-- Brought in by Sir J. Campbell and Dr. Lushington. The Act begins by defining the meaning of the words " will," " real estate," " personal estate," " number," and " gender;" and after repealing a great number of old Acts of Parliament relative to wills, it proceeds to enact as follows : All property may be disposed of by will (except estates tail, or in quasi entail, and estates held in joint tenancy, and which survive to any other person at his death), even though testator should only be entitled to such property at his death, and subse quently to the execution of his will.—Contingent and future in terests in any real or personal estate may be disposed of by will, except any expectancy as heir to a real estate, or as next of kin to any person who shall die intestate.—The power of disposition by will to extend to rights of entry; and also to customary freeholds and copyholds, which cannot now be devised.—Such freeholds and copyholds which might have been surrendered to the use of a will, may be devised without such surrender.— Freehold and copyhold land, to which the testator was entitled to be admitted, may be devised before admittance.—All estates pur autre vie to be devisable. A freehold pur autre vie, if not devised by will, shall be assets in the hands of the heir where he is special occupant; and where there is no special occupant, it shall besassets in the hands of the executor or ad ministrator, and be applied like the personal estate.—All per- 1 sons above the age of seventeen to be capable of making a will. No married woman to be capable of making a will, except of her separate property, or by virtue of a power of appointment by will, or of personal estate with her husband's consent, or to appoint an executor to a will where she is executrix.—No devise to a Corporation to be valid, unless such Corporation is empowered to acquire real estate by Act of Parliament.—Every will to be signed by the testator, or by some other person in his presence and by his direction, in the presence of two or more witnesses present at the same time, who shall subscribe their names in the pre sence of testator; but no form of attestation to be necessary.— All appointments by will to be executed in the same manner, and to require no other form or solemnity.—Nothing in this Act to affect the regulations for the wills of soldiers, seamen, and petty of f icers. —Publication of a will not to be requisite. —Legacies to an attesting witness to be void; but he or she may still be admitted as witness.—Creditors and exe cutors may be attesting witnesses. —Every will to be revoked by marriage, except under power of appointment.—No will or codicil to be revoked by a presumption of an intention from alteration of circumstances ; nor otherwise than by the wilful destruction of it by testator, or by some person in his presence and by his direction, or by marriage, or by substitu ting another, or by a' declaration in writing of such an inten tion to be executed in the same manner—No alteration made in a will after its execution to be valid unless executed in the same manner as will; but it shall be valid if signed by testator and attested by witnesses in the margin, or if explained by a memorandum so signed.—No will once revoked to be revived except by the re-execution of it, or by a codicil regularly executed, or by the destruction and revocation of the will which revoked it.—A devise not to be invalidated by any subsequent conveyance or act— Every will shall be construed to take effect from the death of the testator, unless a contrary intention be expressed.—ln the absence of a contrary direction, all lapsed and void de vises to be included in the residuary devise.—A general de vise shall include all real estates or property, or estates or property over which testator had power of appointment.—A general devise of the testator's lands shall include leaseholds, as well as freeholds and copyholds.—A devise without any words of limitation, shall be construed to pass the fee simple.—The words " die without issue," or others of simi lar import, shall mean a failure of issue at the death of the person, and not an indefinite failure of his issue.—No devise to trustees or executors shall pass a chattel interest, except for a term, or to a presentation to a Church.... Under an unlimited devise, where the trust may endure beyond the life of a person, the fee-simple shall be vested in the trustees. Devises of estates tail shall not lapse by reason of the death of the deviser before the testator, but shall descend to the issue of deviser, if any should survive testator.—Devises to chil dren, or other issue of testator, not determinable at their death, shall not lapse by their death before testator, but descend to their issue, if any survive testator.—The heir of a testator need not be a party in a suit in equity for the execution of a will.—Depositions shall not be taken in equity in suits for es tablishing wills, unless required by a party at the peril of costs. This act not to extend to wills made before 1836, nor to assets of persons who shall die before 1836, nor to Scotland. Torquay is now constituted a general post town, the penny charge above the mileage rate having ceased. This partial tax is said latterly to have averageds 4001. per annum . An abstract of the Dissenters Marriage Bill has been published. The necessity for swearing that the parties are Dissenters is done away with, and a simple declaration substituted. The Rev. Mr. Repton having declined the West minster Prebend upon the conditions imposed, it has been of fered to the Rev. H. Milman, whose claims to distinction as a scholar, poet, and divine, it is unnecessary to allude to, upon those conditions, namely, that the prebendary takes no other Church preferment, and acquiesces in the arrangements with St. Margaret's parish. The Tories are circulating reports in all quarters that when the present Ministry quit.ofiice, which they must do ere many days pass, the Opposition intend to dissolve Parlia ment. In this case, we believe, the example set in dismissing the last Parliament without a cause, will be avoided. It would, indeed, be absurd to dissolve a Parliament from whiCh a con currence in all measures calculated to promote the welfare of the country may with confidence be anticipated.—Morning Paper. perambulatifig the streets of this city all day, in the rain, beg ging and beseeching in the most tbject manner for signatures, as though the salvation of the State depended upon their efforts. The address will receive a great number of signatures, as a matter of course; but as an indication of the feelings of the inhabitants of Exeter, it can go for nothing, for the Tories dare not convene a public meeting on the subject in any part of the city. I had nearly omitted to state, that when the coach arrived last night with the tidings of the Ministerial de feat, the popular exultation knew no bounds.—From the Cor respondent of a Morning Paper. Earl Grey was never in the enjoyment of better health than at present. Towards the end of last year his Lordship experienced much inconvenience resulting from the fatigues of office, and an ardent and extreme devotion o to the consummation of the great o bj ec t w hi c h, from early life, he had resolved to accomplish. A quiet, undisturbed residence at Howick-hall, in the bosom of his much-attached family, has entirely renovated his Lordship's health and spirits. An address from the inhabitants of the Ward of Cripplegate Within is in course of signature to Lord John Russell, thanking him and the majority of the Members of the House of Commons who have so nobly advocated the rectifying of abuses during the present Session of Parliament, particu larly upon the question of the Irish Church. This is as it should be, and every Ward and metropolitan district should immediately follow this example ; it would tend materially to strengthen the hands, and encourage the Members of the Op position, who are fighting our battles against a Tory faction.— Morning Advertiser. It appears by letters recived from Bengal that there has been a falling off in the territorial revenue of the British settlements in the East Indies, to the amount of nearly 70,0001., which has caused the present depression in East India Stock. The amount of dividends to be paid this quarter is about five millions. The dividends are due this day in the Bank, Eight per Cent. Stock ; the Long Annuities ; the Four per Cents. of 1826 ; the Three per Cent. Old Annuities ; and the Three and a Half per Cents. Reduced. The receipts of the Custom-house at Havre during March last were less by 285,885 fr. than in March 1834. There is a decrease of 1,000;000 fr. upon the first quarter of the year, the receipts in 1834 being 5,400,000 fr., and 1835 only 4,400,000 fr. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING.—WC have been in a state of great excitement here to-day. Nothing has been talked about but the defeat of the Ministers on the Irish Church appropriation question. The prevailing opinion among all sensible men is, that Sir Robert Peel must retire. They posted a notice this morning in the Exchange News room, stating that an address to Sir Robert Peel would be ready for signature at two o'clock. Presuming, however, that such a step at the present moment would be productive of a very contrary expression of feeling among the liberal portion of the subscribers to the Exchange-room, they wisely took down the obnoxious placard in the course of the morning. About two o'clock, however, the address did make its appear ance, and is a slavish imitation of that which has been recently got up to the same Right Honourable Personage at the City of London Tavern. Sir Robert Peel must not, however, " lay the flattering unction to his soul" that this address re presents all the wealth and influence of this great commer cial hive ; the contrary is the fact. It is the production of a small knot of exclusives, who, having more leisure than bu siness in hand, are always endeavouring to thrust their poli tical nostrums down the throats of this community, with two thirds of the respectable portion of which they are decidedly unpopular.—Morning Paper. SELECT LIBRARY OP FICTION.—Th e success of " Colburn's Modern Novelists," bids fair to equal that of the \Vaverley Series. It is certainly a most cheap as well as ele gant publication. To obtain a most handsome volume, beau tifully printed, embellished with engravings in the first style of art (by the Messrs. Finden), handsomely bound ; and, above all, including the production of some master-spirit of the age, for five shillings, is certainly a phenomenon in the history of literature. Four volumes are now before the public, cons- prising Mr. Bulwer's celebrated work, " Pelham, or the Ad ventures of a Gentleman"—Lady Morgan's popular Irish tale of " O'Donnel," (the three volumes in one)—and the first volume (to be completed in two) of " Tremaine, or the Man of Refinement," by Mr. Ward. Of thsse volumes many thou sands are, we understand, already in circulation. To such persons are about to forma Select Library of Fiction, what an admirable opportunity is here presented ! The future vo lumes are announced to consist of the principal novels of Mr. Hook, the Earl 'of Mulgrave, Horace Smith, T. H. Lister, Gleig, Captain Marryatt, G. R R. James, Rev. Mr. Croly, Banim, Lady Charlotte Bury, and other distinguished writers. ITALIAN OPER A.--There was a good attendance on Saturday night in consequence of the Queen's presence. Her Majesty came in a private and unostentatious manner, and was but little seen during the evening, although all eyes were di rected towards the box in which the Royal visitor was seated. Considerable disappointment was experienced by the an nouncement that the Perrot was unable to dance, owing to an attack of the lumbago. An apology was also put up at the various entrances for the absence of Guibelei, and his brother undertook his part in Tancredi. To the no small astonishment, however, of the audience, and evidently of the orchestra as well, the malade imaginaire walked coolly en the stage in the first act of La Donna del Lego, to play th e p ar t of Dotty/ass and was in as good voice as we ever recollect to have heard him. Brarabilla sang much better than on pre vious occasions. Curioni again doubled in Roderick Dhu and Fitzjames ; and there was much amusement excited by a lusts natures in the military band which appears in the last scene of La Donna del Lage. It was the appearance of a black man as a Highlander. There is such an excellent treat in store for the subscribers in the present week that we have no inclination to dismal further on former miserable exhibitions. For some weeks we have known of an act, which we will not venture to describe, said to have been committed by a Noble Lord on board and in the command of one of his Majesty's ships in the Mediterranean ; but we have hitherto abstained from all notice of the subject, because we had no wish to prejudge a question which we believed must necessarily come under the cognizance of a Court Martial. We now learn that the matter is to be hushed up. and that the Tory interest of the Noble Captain has been strong enough to screen him from all enquiry into his conduct. If the question were one of a private nature, we should be content to let it rest ; but as the honour and discipline of the Navy are con cerned, the publi c have aright to know why the enquiry has not been gone into. We trust, therefore, some independent Member will ask one of the very few Lords of the Admiralty who have found their way into the present House of Commons, whether any steps have been taken to enquire into the conduct of Lord Ingestrie, respecting his conduct, when in the com mand of his Majesty's ship, towards Mr. Mortimer Drummond, who, in company with Lord John Scott, was a passenger on board his vessel. We refrain, at present, from entering into the particulars of the conduct alluded to. We shall merely observe that they amount to a very serious charge against Lord Ingestr!e. Under such circumstances it becomes the duty of some independent Member of Parliament to ask the present Goverement whether it is intended to take any steps against his Lordship ? We shall resume , the subject on a future day.—Morning Paper. THEATRICAL FRACAS.—A few evenings since a fracas took place at one of the most popular metropolitan theatres, between Mr. Y. and Mr. R., which has excited no small degree of pleasantry and conversation among their brethren of the sock and buskin. It appears t!•at Mr. R. kept 1 the audience waiting above half an hour, and when he did make his appearance, it was but too evident that the "brandy and w a t er , cold—without " had so completely mystified his ideas, that it was with difficulty lie could contrive to go through his part. The manager, who had been irri tated during the piece; immediately on the fall of the Curtain ran up to the delinquent, and in a burst of passion exclaimed, " By heaven, Sir, you are ruining my business—you'll break my heart, you will. I can't keep my hands off you any longer. By heavens, I must pitch into you—so take that." With tbs . '; last expression, the comic Gentleman received a left-handed hit, immediately below his dexter eye, which was instantly fol lowed up by another blow in the vicinity of the previous one,, and down went the culprit, who on rising from his prostrate, position was expected to come to the scratch, and the manager consequently girded himself up for astien, at the same time asserting, " You.know I eat° beat )"ou like a sack when ase _We are authorised to contradict the statement, that Captain Pechell has been dismissed from the situation .of Equerry to the Queen for the vote he gave on the Irish Church question. —Morning Paper.

His Lordship is quite recovered from the serious indisposition that occasioned him to leave London, for the advantage of a more genial cli mate among his native hills. His Majesty and the Court intended to leave town on Saturday morning for Windsor Castle; but, in consequence of the present state of the Ministry, that plan was obliged Id be relinquished, and an express was sent to Windsor, where the dinner had actually been ordered. The King and Queen will remain at St. James's Palace for the present. Her Ma jesty was in her private box at the Italian Opera-House on Saturday evening. Lord John Russell's marriage with Lady Rihbles dale, is fixed, it is understood, to take place on Saturday next, and the honeymen, it is understood, will be chiefly passed at Woburn Abbey. Her ladyship is the relict of the late Thomas, second Baron Ribblesdale, and daughter of the late Thomas Listor, Esq., of Armytagc Park, by which No bleman she has an infant family of four children. Lady Rib blesdale is in her 28th year. ALARM OF THE TORIES.--- 'PETER, APRIL 4. The Tories of this city are in the most dreadful state of con sternation at this "beginning of the end," which the result of the debate on the Trish Church question manifests. The ca tastrophe was anticipated before the news arrived, and meet ings_ were held to a d opt some means of averting it if possible, before the coach arrived with the glorious intelligence. At these meetings an address was concocted in the usual hole-•:nd corner style, requesting the Right Honourable Baronet (Sir Robert Peel) not to resign, but to continue to hold office.to the, emergency of the present tines. Parties of melan choly- men, with rueful faces and despairing looks, have been THE REVENUE FOR THE YEAR AND QUARTER ENDING APRIL 3, No. I.—An Abstract of the Net Produce of the Revenue of Great Britain in the Years and Quarters ended sth of April, 1834, and sth of April, 1835, shewing the Inc.

The Gentleman, however, with the now comico-t rag i co sort of countenance, was too far overcome with what he had taken both inwardly and outwardly to face the enraged manager, and he waddled into his dressing-room. On the following morning, the ma nager was called upon to make an ample apology, who for a length of time refused to comply, but not being willing that the party should carry his treat into execution of not again ap pearing on that stage, he consented to make the required re paration, and since that time we believe they are as good friends as ever.—Morning Paper. EXCUSES FOR DRUNKENNESS.—The following are among the excuses which are made by the individuals when brought before the magistrates at the different police-offices in the metropolis, charged with being drunk in the streets. Many of the excuses are made indiscriminately by both males and females ; met a friend ; met my mother ; met my sister; have been wounded in the head ; had a child die ; in very great distress ; out of work ; broke my leg; very old ; an old sailor ; an old soldier ; been out of place a long time ; just recovered from a fit of illness ; been looking for work ; had a little business to transact - with a friend; just come out of prison, and very little liquor takes effect upon me ; had my brother transported; my mother died; burnt out; very hungry ; had a quarrel with my wife ; married the day before ; very hot weather; very cold weather; been to a christening ; been to funeral, &c. ; in short, it would appear from the statements made, that there is not a single occurrence in life that is not considered an excuse for this all besetting sin. MR. RICHARDS, M.P., AND HIS CONSTITU ENTS.—We have received a letter from Knaresborough, ad dressed to Mr. Richards, by " One of the Forty" inhabitants and electors by whom that gentleman was called on to resign his seat. The letter is ably written, but too long for insertion at this busy time. Besides, Mr. Richards is merely important from the circumstance of his being a renegado. His speeches are much improved by the Reporters, who, being obliged to give only a tithe of the absurdities he utters, represent him nine-tenths less absurd than he is. However, the Knares borough Correspondent states some facts in reference to Mr. Richards' answer to the requisition, which we shall notice. In the answer, he justifies his refusal to attend to the re quisition, because it was signed by only forty inhabitants and electors out of a population of from 7,000 to 9,000. " It is a fact (says the Correspondent), proved by a re ference to the Parliamentary Companion for 1833,' that the population of Knaresborough, within the limits of the borough, does not exceed 6,285, and the actual number of electors who voted for you at the last election only amounted to 134 ; therefore, it ill becomes you to speak so con temptuously of the forty, all your immediate supporters, and which number might have been doubled had it not been for a reason, known to yourself, and particularly to the inn keepers. Neither ought you to forget that had twenty of these deserted you, you would not have had the opportunity and audacity to set them at defiance but a more worthy and ho nourable man than yourself would have filled your seat in Par liament." The Correspondent observes farther, that at the late election Mr. Richards referred to his conduct in the last Parliament as a pledge for the future, and in his speeches blamed the late Administration for not being sufficiently active in pushing reform measures ; that he is now supporting an Administration which has always resisted reform, and which, if it could but muster a majority of renagadoes like himself, would still continue to oppose every desirable improvement. After this, what at an insult to common sense to pretend that he has violated no pledge.—Morning Paper. The courtesy of Mr. Justice Bayley, before he re tired from public life, has been often admired ; perhaps a hap pier compliment hks seldom been delivered from the Bench than his Lordship once administered in the form of a gentle rebuke, in the Court at the Northumberland Assizes, to Mr. Grey the Barrister, son of the then Bishop of Bristol. Mr. G. was chatting rather loudly with some other Counsel, when Mr. Justice Bayley, who was summing up, observed—" Mr. Grey, if ever you arrive, where I hope you will some day, you will know the inconvenience of Counsel talking when you are summing up."—Hants Advertiser. CAPTAIN Ross.—Captain Sir John Ross, the celebrated and intrepid navigator, was in Nottingham, on Monday last on a visit to his old friend and shipmate Dr. Manson. The ;Gallant Captain was accompanied by Lady Ross. Sir John Ross, in compliment to his friend, has called a cape, which he discovered in the Arctic Seas, Cape Manson —Derbyshire Courier, THE HORSE DARLINGTON.—The match to trot this horse eighteen miles within the hour came off last week between Retford and Doncaster, when the animal failed to complete the task until five minutes beyond the hour. The match was, that if the feat was completed, the horse should be sold for 2,0001., but if not, that he should be sold for a shilling to Mr. Brogden, of Manchester, the gentleman who made the match with Mr. Marryatt, the owner of the animal. Since the race the horse has been claimed for a shilling, and Mr. Marryatt refuses to deliuer him. Au action at law is spoken ipf, the result of which must of course depend upon the deci sion of the question whether the agreement was a bona fide bargain or a gambling transaction. The strong -feeling of abhorrence to Orangeism which the attempt to unseat the Liberator has generated afresh throughout the country, is evinced in a substantial and effective manner in many places in this noble county.—Tipperary Free Pre.,:s.

Mr. Caldwell's house was lately en tered by robbers through a back gallery, and every room plundered—even the room in which Mr. C. slept was rifled, and after loading themselves with booty, the robbers regaled themselves with a gloss of wine, and departed unmolested. On the same day of this transaction M. Balloco, one of the oldest citizens, was stabbed mortally by a mulatto fellow, one of his own slaves, and while the miscreant was perpetrating the deed, a faithful negro, also a slave to Mr. 8., and who had come to his assistance, fell a victim to the rage of the mur derer.- THE HAND-LOOM WEAVERB OF LONDON.- A general meeting of the parishioners of St. Matthew, Bethnal-green, took place this day under the direction of the Churchwardens, with the view of seconding the weavers in their applic nto the Legislature for relief in their dread fully distresse ondition, which in that weaving district ne cessarily re-acts upon the inhabitants generally, particularly shop-keepers, producing pauperism to a fearful extent, and consequent increase of the parochial burdens. It may be re membered that in the last session of Parliament a Committee of the House of Commons, appoieted to inquire into the con dition of the hand-loom weavers in different parts of the coun try, came to the conclusion that some measures of relief were imperatively necessary in the existing distress, which they felted more extensive even than i'epresented by the petitioners them selves ; hut without pointing out any specific mode of relief they recoi..mended a renewal of the Committee in the present session. The weavers of Spital-fields and Bethnal:weer' met a few days since, and adopted a petition tg the House of Commons, setting forth in very movingseterres the extreme privation and distress to which they were reauceil in cense quence, as they allege, " of the present system of in lip i:foal competition amongst the manufacturers with their labour, by which the wages have been unnecessarily reduced to a mere pittance ; so that they are placed in the anomalous condition of enduring all the miseries of destitution when in full em ployment." They suggest, as the only remedy, an els:lament for regulating and protecting the wages to be paid- for every descript:en of hand-loom wcavicg. A similar petition will he ealemitted to-day by the general meeting of perishieeers, who necessarily participate in the distress felt by the weavers.

(From the South African Commercial Advertiser. ) CAPE TOWN, Die. 17.—A feat of Pedestrianism was per— formed on Friday, the 12th instant, which may deserve record as a specimen of what may be done in spite of the thermometer being 80 in the shade. A young gentleman, under 19 yearn• of age, undertook for a trifling bet, in mid-day, to ascend Table Mountain, 3,582 feet, and return ; to ascend the Lion's Rump, 1,143 feet, and return; and then to pass over the Kloot, and round the Lion's Hill, to return by Green Point. The whole on foot, and within nine hours. He started from the Buiten kant at 10, A. m., returned from Table Mountain at half-past 12 ; rested 15 minutes ; proceeded on his laborious task, and completed it at a quarter past 5, say in seven hours and a half. Such of our readers as are acquainted with the Cape of Good Hope will be surprised at the feat above recorded. We are told the pedestrian was Mr. George Thomson, the eldest son of Colonel Thomson, Commanding Engineer. The per formance is unquestionably a very extraordinary one in such a climate. THE ROYAL .HUN7'. The place of meeting on Friday was at Salthill, and some time before the appointed hour to commence the chace a large party sat down to a splendid breakfast at Botham's. The, morning was one of the most inviting description, and an un usual number of sportsmen lined the road between the two inns; upwards of 350 horses were counted just before the deer wa.F ancarted. Among the company we noticed the Noble Master (Lord Chesterfield), Lords Worcester, Wilton, C. Wellesley, P. and A. Fitzclarence; the Austrian Princes, &c. On being turned nut the deer, after a ring, passed Burnham, crossed the Thames at Monkey Lland. Here Colonel Rowley gallantly swam over also, and got well landed ; Mr. Vyse (No. 3) also attempted to do :!'e same, but his horse, when in the middle of the current, was frightened, and some fears were entertained as.to their safety. They, hewever, safely arrived once more on terra firma, but in the county. of Bucks instead of Berks. To the Bridge (Maidenhead) was now the c; y, when confusion confused was the case, for the " boy--wows" were going their best pace after the deer, and by themseivc-, with the exception of the Gallant Colonel and Tom Smith (No. 2), who had anticipated the deer crossing; these two, of course, had the first hour alone, the remainder of the field toddling behind for some time. After crossing the water the deer passed Fific,kl, New Lodge, Winkfield Park, Hawthorn hill, Bellingbear, Haines-hill, Sandford Mill, Woodley Park, Bulmarsh Heath, Maiden Eiligh, and Arborfieid. Between the latter and Swallowfield the good deer Chipperfield was taken. Thus ended a most noble day's sport, as any one after reading the foregoing can easily imagine. The horses, amounting to no more than twenty-five at the finale, were dreadfully beaten. Among those in at the take were Lords Chesterfield, Wilton, Worcester, C. Wellesley, one of the Austrian Princes, Messrs. Shakerley, Harvey Aston, M. Stanley Seymour, &c. The run lasted for two hours and three-quarters, and the popular and Noble Master was well up throughout the chace. Mr. De Burgh's Hounds afforded an extra day's sport to the select few apprised of the meeting at Hillingdon on Thursday. The day was propitious to every thing, save and except hunting—a hot burning sun and a hard dry ground. The start was made near Dr. Haller's park, through which the deer passed an hour subsequently, and took refuge in a pool. Being disturbed from its retreat, the poor animal took to the rising ground, shortly followed by the hounds and some twenty huntsmen. It w a s f oun d i n the park of Mr. Cox lying dead, with a broken heart. Amongst the sports- . men, who appeared one and all fatigued with their amuse ment, we perceived Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, the Marquis of Douro, Sir S. W om b we ll, M essrs . Rothschild, Goldsmidt, Bainbridge, Learmonth, &c. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS. His Majesty's Stag Hounds meet on Friday, at Knaphill, near Chobham-1 I.

The Dublin Election Conunittee, at ha!f-past five on Saturday afternoon,- resolved to grant a commission for examining witnesses in Dublin. Thus, the grand attack of the COnservatives against Mr. O'Connell will end in smoke, after some months' sitting of the commission ; or perhaps a new Parliament will have been chosen before the inquisition closes.

The Honourable Colonel C. has long been rumoured to be the favourite cavalier of the beautiful Madame de M. the Princess G. is reported to bare declared, in a large society, her disapprobation of this intimacy, and the remarks of the Princess soon came to the ears of Madame de M. This lady said nothing ; her sister, Madame de S., wh o w•as just ar rived from - Russia, went up, at the Court Ball, to the Princess G., and expressed, in no measured terms or gestures, her anger at the Princess's meddling in her sister's affairs.

LISBON, MARCH 29.—A most melancholy instance of fragi lity of life, and the vanity of all human greatness, it is now my painful task to announce. The young Duke de Leuchten berg, whom but two months ago I siw leading his Royal bride from the altar, hailed by the acclamations of assembled multi tudes, " full of life, and splendour, and joy," and looking for ward to a future as bright and as cheerful as the lovely pros pect that expands before his palace windows—is now a corpse. On Sunday last the Prince was at the Campo Grande races, and in perfect health : next day, it appears, he went out shoot ing ; and, on returning to the palace, imprudently threw off his coat and waistcoat while yet in a state of profuse perspira tion. This, it is needless to add, brought on a cold ; which, though slight at first, soon began to assume a more serious character, as it always does in this climate when neglected. Danger, however, only began to be first apprehended within twenty-four hours before his dissolution. On Friday night symptoms of inflammation began to manifest themselves, and in the course of a few hours increased to that degree, that some alarm began to be felt. So far, however, from his being considered in a hopeless state, it was not till twelve o'clock, when his respiration began to be impeded, that it was thought necessary to send for his confessor, and administer the sacra ments. At 20 minutes past two, p.m., he expired. The distraction of the Queen and Empress it were vain to attempt to describe. I have seen an eye-witness of the dying scene, one of the household servants, who tells me that they were in a perfect phrenzy of grief. Much blame is attached, as usual on such occasions, to the medical men in attendance. How far it may be justified, I cannot, of course, pretend to say ; but I can state it as a fact, that Dr. Almeidinha, a physician of the longest practice and highest professional reputation in Lisbon, when called in at the last moment, severely condemned the mode of treatment adopted by those. who had had charge of the patient before him. A foolish notion was entertained for a few hours yesterday that the Prince had been poisoned; but it was soon given up—of course, it never was enter tained for a moment by any but the vulgar and unthink ing. I do not moan to say that such things have not been done, but I ground my opinion, that it was not done in this instance, on the fact that no poison can produce a quinsey, which it was that caused the fatal termina tion of the disorder. Poor young man! he died at the very moment when a violent discussion in his regard was going on in the Chambers and the public journals. But a few days before he had been invested with the command-in-chief of army. The power which this important trust gives to the in dividual who exercises it was so great under the absolute re gime, that, with the exception of Marshal Beresford, who held it from 1810 to 1820, and whose peculiar situation af forded the most solid guarantee that any absolute Government could require against its misuse, it was never confided to any but princes of the blood royal. The old Duke de Lafoes, uncle to Queen Mary the First, held it till his death, which took place in 1800. From that period to 1810, when Lord Beresford received the appointment, it remained vacant ; and after his dismissal in 1820, it again remained unfilled tilllB3o, when, upon the downfall of th• first constitutional Govern ment, Don Miguel was invested with this high and important command, and by the use he made of it soon afforded a con vincing proof of the danger of bestowing it without the utmost caution : I allude to the affair of April 1824, which led to his first exile. From the Supplement of the Diario do Governo of the 30th March.) _ _ _ Lisnort, MARCH 29.—A premature death has just snatched from the hopes of the army, the heart of her Most Faithful Majesty, and the affection of all true Portuguese, his Royal Highness the Prince Dom Augustus, who died yesterday, at twenty minutes past two in the afternoon, of quinsey. The Prince descends to the tomb in the flower of his age. Scarcely two months have elapsed since he arrived in Portugal, but in that short interval he had succeeded in interesting sympathy and gaining public esteem, and the friends of the Constitu tional Throne regarded him as a firm supporter of that throne and of the national liberties. Providence, however, has thought fit to take him from us, and it is our duty to reconcile ourselves to its decrees. FOR IN John BJWC1(.11, ES .1.
