Th i s discovery `lc the country. The nation saw at once that a etillnoN wore the crown and swayed the sceptre 1 '44 e* Thousands who were before most anxious 1 11 t rial () Tti now demanded an amnesty. They saw in a I° l) l 7'. t t hat the intention of the ruling power was not 1 4 ,but to immolate the prisoners. If any lin :ti161,01(11°11hts of this remained after the KING'S Bents Were made known, they were entirely vo ced 4 cl, tt . bye the order of the Government, which 5 11 1 ., et ' the ordinary Courts incompetent to pro- Ne t i ce judgment on the prisoners, and• by the tilori of th a new Co ur t f or t h e so l e purpose o f receiv e k e: si l on th e i r tr i al. It then became evident that kl h k ° Purpo se d making examples of his enemies ri ling to posterity, and that the new Court was Itio,,4lll,PallY intended to perpetuate the memory of the a w ay which would ensure its recurrence to the minds of the populace. These manifestations of a vindictive spirit alarmed the country ; and this alarm was not diminished by the conduct of the parties accused, who have throughout distinguished them selves by the firmness of their bearing, and an en tire consciousness of the rectitude of their own pur poses. And now that the KING has triumphed so far, what will he do next ? The opposition which alone •he thought it necessary to guard against re mains, but it is only a feather in comparison with that which has since risen. The popular reprobation of the trials he might call clamour—and every despot in Europe would have re-echoed the appellation, and applauded him for despising it. But now the bar comes forward and not only refuses to plead, but even denounces the form of trial about to be adopted. He turns to the Peers for succour, and the bar replies to the command of the President, by declaring the Chamber altogether incompetent to compel attendance. And yet the mortification of the KING does not stop here. The Peers, too, are rather out of humour at being made mere instruments for the gratification of Royal malevolence. TALLEYRAND ha's just been seized with a fit of gout, from which he is not likely to recover until the trials are over, or otherwise disposed of ; and symptoms of the same dis temper have appeared in several other . high quarters. In short it is whispered in Paris that the Peers have declared the present a very unwholesome season, and it is believed that numbers of them are in a fair way of falling dangerously ill, before the commence ment of the trials. To increase the KING'S per plexity, the National Guards in the departments of the Rhone, and the Prefects of almost every department, have forwarded addresses, praying that an amnesty may yet be granted. Now the five millions of National Guards scattered throughout France are the right arm of the ORLEANS dynasty, and their support of the prisoners must, if the KING proceeds in his mad ca reer, lead to the most disastrous consequences. Such is the present state of this momentous ques tion, and such is the dangerous—the awful position— in which the KING'S rash obstinacy has placed him. Recede with honour he fears he cannot, and to pro ceed with safety is no longer possible. 'He has now succeeded in propelling the country to the brink of a revolutionary precipice ; and one step more may pre cipitate the ORLEANS dynasty into a gulph whence it may never rise. Will no experience, drawn from the past, teach wisdom to Princes ? Can nothing short of the deprivation of life eradicate the errors which spring up in royal minds? Surely the KING cannot be ignorant of his danger, nor at a loss to understand the only way by which he can escape it. He cannot but perceive that he now stands alone, regarded by his subjects as a man drunk and reeling under the potent intoxication of Sovereignty, and foaming with indigna tion against those who have dared to question his claim, or limit his authority. He cannot but be aware of this when he sees himself partially deserted by the Peers, opposed by the Deputies, denounced by the bar, admonished by the Prefects, and passively resisted by the National Guards: The secession of the Ex- Bishop of AUTUN, alone, ought to be quite suffi cient to remind him that the pillars which support his throne begin to be shaken. What, then, ought the KING to do to prevent the evils which threaten him ? We answer—Grant an amnesty to the prisoners of April. True, he cannot do it with the best grace, after delaying it so long ; but no matter for that—better grant it on any terms, than plunge the country into another revolutionary war, the first effects of which must extend to the ex patriation of every member of the Royal family. The political news contained in these journals is not important. On Saturday the debate on the American Indemnity Bill occupied the entire sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, which was again ad journed over until Monday. The Committee on the secret service funds made out its report, the majority being in favour of Ministers. The vessels have arrived at Toulon from Algiers, bringing 3,100 soldiers on board from that colony. Arrivals from Lisbon to the 2d inst. have been re ceived, with an official copy of the Autopsy of the body of Prince AUGUSTUS of Portugal, which was performed on the 29th of March in the presence of all the great Officers of State. The head was not opened, as the physicians were of opinion that they had discovered the cause of his death, and therefore judged the process .unnecessary. No marks of ex ternal violence were discoverable on any part of the body. The contents of the stomach were carefully ana lysed, but no substance was found different from those always discoverable in dead bodies. The physicians, after the most minute examination of the body, declared that the PRINCE had died a natural death. The PRINCE was naturally of a consumptive habit, and inherited from childhood the seeds of the disease which carried him off. The health of the QUEEN has been much impaired by the sudden death of her husband, but she begins to grow better. Some outrages took place in the provinces, under the direction of Miguelite leaders, which were put down by the Constitutional authori ties, without loss of time. The country is now in a state of tranquillity. Brussels, Dutch, and Frankfort papers have been received. We find that the speech of the Marquis of LA NSDOWNE in the House of Lords on the 16th ult., respecting Lord LONDONDERRY'S resignation of the Embassy to Russia, has given great offence to the despots of Germany. They are in high dudgeon at the liberty taken by his Lordship in saying that the Reform Cabinet sought the preservation of the peace of Europe. Merchants from Holland, Belgium, Baden, the Hanseatic cities, and every part of Germany, are crowding to the great annual Easter Fair at Frankfort. The wholesale business has commenced ; there is a very brisk demand for Swiss mannfactures. The Belgian Chambers have presented addresses to the KING in honour of the birth of an heir to the Throne. The QUEEN is fast recovering, and the infant is well : St. PETERSBURGII, APRIL 1.-It is now officially annonnced that his Majesty the Emperor has appointed Count Von Pahlen to be his Ambassador to the King of the French. Henceforth no foreigners of the lower class will be allowed to pass the frontier into the Russian Empire, unless they have at least 10 rix dollars about them. HAMBURG BORSEN HALLE, APRIL 10.

Having in our f ,8 % " THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 14, 1835. Paper, of the 6th instant, given a summary of that Report, we are in justice bound to insert the following ,observations from the Guernsey Star, and the Guern sey Comet, of Thursday, in reply to the statements of the 'Report relative to their island. The Guernsey Star observes— " It thus appears that the Commissioners, in the body of their report, state that, whilst the average quantity of grain grown in Guernsey during the last five years has been 4,595 quarters of wheat and 3,789 quarters of barley, the average annual exportations for the United Kingdom have amounted, during the same period, to 6,444 quarters of wheat, and 226 quarters of barley, —consequently that the quantity of wheat thus annually exported has exceeded the quantity grown in the island by nearly 2,000 quarters, and therefore that a conside rable portion of the wheat so exported has consisted of foreign wheat frandulently represented as of local growth. The astound ing fact thus broadly stated—which fully accounts for Mr. Baring's statement in the House of Commons, that if fraud had been proved against any of the islands, it was against that of Guernsey—was so manifestly discordant with the re turns of the exportations of corn of local growth, known to have been obtained from the Custom-house here, that it was immediately concluded a flagrant error must have been some where committed. Happily, Mr. Savery Brock arrived here yesterday morning from London, with a copy of the Com missioners' Report, and it was immediately ascertained that such Report was totally at variance with the documents on which it was founded, and which were appended to it,—for whilst the former stated that the quantity of corn exported exceeded by 2,000 quarters the quantity grown, the latter showed that the Commissioners had committed a gross error in neglecting to make a distinction between corn of local growth, and foreign corn exported as such, and that the ave rage annual quantity exported as of local growth and admitted into England duty free, actually amounted but to 539 quarters of wheat, and 86 of barley,—the remainder, up to the amount stated by the Commissioners, having been exported as foreign corn and paid duty as such on its arrival in England! The Committee appointed by the States were to meet this day for the purpose of taking such steps on the subject as might be deemed necessary." The following extract is from the Guernsey Comet of Thursday last. The Editor of that paper, we per ceive, has fallen into an error in attributing to the Re port the three lines he quotes relative to the insignifi cant amount of the total exportation of corn from all the three islands, which lines formed part of our com ment upon the Report. That circumstance does not, however, affect his argument as to the insignificance of that exportation : " Having we trust satisfactorily accounted for the extraor dinary mistake which has occasioned so much delusion in the mother country, and in the British senate, let us for one moment turn our attention to the Report itself, in order to see whether there be any justifiable grounds for the measures now in contemplation against os. After having painted us in the most hidious colours imaginable, it says, " It is evident, however, that the total exportation from all the three islands is too insignificant to form a ground of serious complaint on the part of th British farmer.' "Such an admission is worth noticing, especially when it is considered that the quantity exported from Guernsey has been swelled above 5000 quarters per annum more than has been actually imported into England ! Now, if, under such circum stances, the quantity is considered too insignificant to form a ground of objection, &c,' what must it be when stripped of its enormous addition ?—is it not much more than contemptible, and dwindles into absolute nothingness, when compared with the consumption of 52,000,000 quarters of grain per annum, in the mother country, and clearly manifests the absurd, not to say unjust conduct of the English farmer,' because it is certain that the exportation from these islands has not, and cannot add to the burdens of those men. " We have stated from the commencement, that looking at the exportation of corn of our growth, into England, duty free, in the abstract, we never attached any importance to it, nor do we now; but contemplating the principle which it in volves, we are of opinion the privilege ought not to be ceded on any account, without previously resorting to every legiti mate means in our power, to show that it cannot be taken away from us, without violating the sanctity of our charters, unless it can be proved that we have abused the confidence reposed in us by our Sovereigns. " We shall forward the " Comet " of to-day, to the Edi tor of The Sun, who is too liberal, we feel assured, to deny us the justice, in his paper, of explaining the cause of the misre presentations against us." We insert to-day the conclusion of the First Re port of the Commissioners on Municipal Corporations in England and Wales. This part of the Report relates to the defects and abuses in the Municipal Government of those` cities and towns ; and its state ments fully bear out all that has been said respecting the corruption and mismanagement of those Corpora tions. Among such a mass of abuses, it would be an endless task to comment upon a tithe of them. We must,, therefore, refer our readers to the extract itself ; but we would more particularly call their at tention to the following points in it :—The Corpora tions and the inhabitants have, in most places, ceased to have any community of interest ; and especially, of course, where a number of the Corporation are non resident. While the great majority of the respectable inhabitants are excluded from the Corporate body, paupers, lodgers, and others paying neither rates nor taxes, form a considerable portion of it. The admis sion of freemen for political purposes, and previous to elections. The exclusion of all but those holding the political opinions of the party in power from the mu nicipal government. The secresy with which muni cipal affairs have been managed, and the refusal to furnish information respecting it to the inhabitants. The non-residence and neglect of Recorders and other chief officers. The peculations committed on corpo rate property by the members and their friends ; the bribery, corruption, and feasting to which it has been • perverted ; the denial by many of such bodies that they are bound to expend those funds for the ge neral welfare of the community ; and the defence of the application of them to the profit of individuals. The perversion of education funds, as at Coventry, where two masters were paid 7001. per annum, and had only one pupil ! FROM A CORRESPONDENT. We have reason to believe that in the formation of the new Government, care will be taken that all the various constituent classes will be represented. This is a very sound and statesmanlike view. In order to give satisfaction to the country, it is not only neces sary that the new Government should be composed of steady and uncompromising Reformers, but that these Reformers should, if possible, represent the vast and varied interests of the whole community. The agri culturists should not be jealous of the popular and commercial classes possessing a❑ undue influence ; and, on the other hand, these classes should be relieved from the opposite suspicion. In fact, the people should have a confidence given them, by observing that their respective views and in terests were provided with an advocate in the Govern ment. We believe that this principle has never yet been acted upon, and that Lord MELBOURNE will have the credit of its first application. His Lordship, out of the liberal bands that surround him, will find no difficulty in uniting representatives of the agricultural constituencies with those connected with the commer cial and manufacturing communities of the large towns, including the metropolis. With regard to the latter, which is the vast centre of the wealth, thought, and action of the nation, retaining as it has done, without exception, members of liberal principles, it would propitiate and please its immense population, were at least one of the sixteen members connected with the Government, and would carry out the souud views that have been taken by the Premier. The liberal aristocracy will have a large share in the Cabinet, which will be excellently balanced by the people at large, feeling that they also have a voice in the immediate councils of the King. TIIE EAST INDIA TRADE.—The quarterly sale of indigos, which commenced on Tuesday last at the India House, were concluded yesterday. The quantity declared by the East India Company was 1,973 chests, and about 2,087 chests by private merchants. The sales were attended by a fair proportion of buyers from the manufacturing districts, who purchased, however, to a very limited amount. The de clarations contained 3,983 chests of Bengal ; 75 of Madras ; 24 of Oude ; 12 of Java ; and 11 chests of inferior qualities, making a total of 4,061 chests. The orders from the Conti nent were limited. The prices, in general, ranged lower than at the January sales. Ordinary qualities sold id. to 2d. per lb. lower ; middling 2d. to 3d. per lb. ; good 4d. to 6d: per lb., and 6d. to 9d. per lb. Bengals sold 4s. 9d. to 65. Bd. per lb. ; Madras from 33. sd. to 4s. per lb. ; Oude from 3s. sd. to 4s. 4d. per lb. ; Java from 3s. sd. to ss. sd. per lb. ; and low qualities 2s. 7d to 3s. 9d. per lb. Madras qua lity was quoted 3d. per lb. under the quotations obtained last January. The quantity bought in is estimated to amount to about 1,000 chests, chiefly of the fine qualities. The stocks of indigos in the bonad warehouses have been reduced be tween 5,000 and 6,000 chests. , In a late number of an Edinburgh medical periodi cal, a case is given of a young gentleman about 13 years old, who had been affected with constant sneezing for three weeks.

We have direct accounts a few days since from Vera Cruz, which do not mention a word on the above subject. These ac counts bring the arrival of the French Ambassador from the United States at Havre.

A boy, named Leech, was bit by a dog belonging to Mr. Heginbotham, cotton-spinner, a few days ago, and on Thursday last he died, after having undergone the most intense sufferings.—Manchester Courier. JOHN BULL'S DILEMMA ; AND HOW IT ENDED. " Trust not that physician, His antidotes are poison."— Tinton of Athens. John Bull (ell sick the other day, Or fancied himself in a sickly way— For John, as you see by the Daily Papers, Is apt now and then to get the vapors— So damning for a conceited prig His old physician, Doctor Whig, And rudely showing him to the door, he Sent in a huff for Doctor Tory. The Doctor came, and when duly fee'd, Told John his case was bad indeed ; " Whig's Russell Purge," * quoth he with a laugh, Has made your nerves too strong by half, Like a miser hampered by too much wealth, You're restless from super-abundant health ; But I've a dose that by sure degrees Shall allay your plethoric miseries, • And restore you to what you were in your prime— How lucky you called me in, in time !" So saying, he shrewdly itiook his head, For never Quack better knew his trade, In all he did and all he said ; In bleeding—prescribing steel-draught, or bolus, He stood ; as dramatists call it, solus ; His address, too, was so debonnaire, And he hoaxed poor John with such an air, That he swallowed his words, for gospel true, And, what's worse, swallowed his physick too. Four months thus passed, but, sad to say, Instead of improving day by day, John Bull fell more and more away ; (And what made it a harder case, I ween, His Doctor grew fat as he grew lean) He lost his spirits ; he lost his pelf, He seemed but the ghost of his former self; And crept about with so wan a smile, Grumbling so bitterly all the while, That at length brother Pat took up the case t, And looking him kindly in the face, Said, " bless me, John, how thin you've grown? You're really nothing but skin andsbbne ; Pray change your system, and to begin, do Just throw your physick out of the window, And next, to stop the fellow's laughter, Throw your medical man out after; He's sure to be your death, I wis, So you may just as well be Ids." John hemmed and hawed, but one must not stand Hemming and hawing when death's at hand, So when the Doctor came next morning, Ix a few blunt words John gave him warning ; " I'm dying" quoth he, and he grimly laughed, " Of your MANIFESTO sleeping draught ; You swore 'twould make me well, but, curse The poisonous drug, it has made me worse; Since I took it first, I've done nought but pout So there's the door, you scamp, get out." " Worse, John ?" replied grave Doctor Tory, With the air of Doctor Slop in the story, t " Why, you've not yet given it a fair trial ; Just try and swallow another vial ; Come, don't be foolish, but drink, pray do—. You don't know what's for your good, not you !" While thus he ran on in a plausible tone Of voice, "peculiarly his own," John looked about him, and seizing a stick (A handsome cudgel four inches thick, Which he kept, so full were his days of events, Beside him, in case of accidents) Began on old Tory's head to rain Such a shower of blows, that the Doctor's brain Spun round and round like a house-maid's mop— In vain he called out, " Stop, John, stop ; Oh lord, my sides !—You're surely mad ; I'm the very best friend you ever had " John laid about him all the faster, 'Till having, like some stern school-master, Well disciplined the deceitful lout, He opened the door, and kicked him out. • A week or two after as, late one day, I chanced to be strolling by that way, I saw with delight, as in times of yore, Whig's carriage standing at John Bull's door, And was told that by treatment mild and steady, The Doctor had done him much good already §. * Vide, Sir Charles Wetherell's description of the Reform Bill. t In allusion to Mr. O'Connell's vehement denunciations of the Tory Ministry during the late elections. Vide Sterne's " Tristram Shandy." § This of course is said in anticipation of the way in which the Whigs are likely for the future to govern the country. We hope the anticipation will be realized. HOUSE OF LORDS-(THIS DAY.) Lord Denman, Lord Brougham, Earl Nelson, Lord Ra vensworth, and Lord Abinger, sat in the House of Lords to hear Scotoit Appeals to-day. The appeal of Sharpe v. Sharpe, which involved a question of dry Scotch entail, occupied their Lordships till our reporter left. The case was heard last Session before Lord Denman, when a point was reserved for argument by one Counsel on either side. CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor, Mr. Justice Patteson, and Mr. Baron Alderson, sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall to-day to hear the further arguments in the part-heard case of the Attorney- General v. Shore. On their Lordships taking their seats, Mr. Booth proceeded to address the Court in behalf of the appellants, but the Learned Gentleman had not concluded when we left. In consequence of Sir Charles Wetherell being at Bristol, it is the Lord Chancellor's intention to proceed with motions as soon as Mr. Booth has concluded. On Thursday his Lordship will proceed with the remaining cause petitions. After which he will proceed with the part heard cause petition of Ruxton v. Fitzherbert. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. John Smith, aged 62, was indicted for assaulting Elizabeth Spencer, his step-daughter, aged nine years, with intent, &c. The prisoner was indicted last Session for the capital of. fence, and acquitted, but the Court ordered him to be detained and tried for the minor offence. The facts are unfit for publication, but it appeared that the offence had been repeatedly committed. The prisoner protested his innocence, and called the mother of the child to prove that she had reproved her for suffering some boys to behave improperly to her. In answers to questions put by the Court, the woman, who gave her name Elizabeth Spenser, stated that she had lived ten years with the prisoner, but was not married to him. She lived some time also with the father of the child, but was not married to him, and he was still living. The child had never been christened. The RECORDER, with great feeling, expressed his disgust at the case, remarking that every duty which nature and religion required of the parents of this unhappy child appeared to have been totally neglected. The child, with tears, declared that no person except the prisoner had acted towards her in the way described. The RECORDER summed up with considerable care and dis crimination. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The Court instantly sentenced him to two years' imprison ment and hard labour. NEIV COURT. John Hodge, 25, was indicted for passing a counterfeit crown piece on the 25th February last. The prisoner went into the shop of Mr. Hadcock, a che mist and druggist in Lambeth, and tendered a crown piece to pay for some drugs he had purchased. Mr. H. examined the crown, and found it to be good. Prisoner said he had got change enough, and took back the crown—he then said he had not, and gave Mr. 11. another crown piece, which turned out to be base—Guilty. William Dungley, 32, a notorious smasher, was indicted for stealing the sum of 9s. 9d., from the shop of James Hughes, a baker, City-road, and for uttering a counterfeit half-sovereign. The prisoner went in to purchase a loaf, and tendered a half sovereign ; when the change had been counted he snatched it and the half sovereign up, and went off. A little boy was sent after him to get the half sovereign, to whom the prisoner gave a gilt six-pence. The record of a former conviction of the prisoner for taking 16s. from the person of James Wilson, was put in and read.-- Guilty. The Learned SERJEAST sentenced the prisoner who exhi bited the most hardened indifference, to 14 years' tranportation. Charles Stephens, 24, was indicted for uttering two base half-crowns, on the 11th September last, in the shop of Fre derick Rouch, a cheesernonger, Deptford Bridge, Greenwich. —Guilty. Joseph Sinclair, 22, was indicted for passing a base shilling on the 23d March, and for passing a base half-crown on the 30th March, in the shop of Phillip Brimmage, keeper of a public house. —G uilty. James Johnston, 18, was indicted ,for passing a base shil ling on the 23d, and another on the 26th of March, in the shop of John Mayhew, a chandler, of High-street, Totten ham-court-road. Another indictment charged him with pass ing a counterfeit shilling on the 25th March, in the shop of another chandler in the Edge ware-road.—Guilty. John Bishop was indicted for passing a counterfeit crown piece on the 21st March, in Covent-garden, to William Hub bard, ,a market gardener. He was also indicted for passing a base half-crown on the 28th March.—Not Guilty... • THE SUN NEWSPAPER EXPRESSES„ RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS. IRISH CHURCH.

We acknowledge our obligations to Mr. M‘Phun of Glas gow, for an express edition of The Sun, by which vie are en-. abled to give the resignation speech of Sir Robert Peel at length.—Paisley Advertiser, April 11. DEFEAT OF MINISTERS.—We are much indebted to the ElA rited exertions of the proprietors of The Sun newspaper, for for warding to us an express edition of their journal on Friday morn ing, which reached this city about ten o'clock in the forenoon. It contained the whole of the debate, and the result of the divi sion at half-past three o'clock on the same morning !—an al most incredible instance of dispatch in the publication and transmission of intelligence, and one which the public cant= fail to appreciate as it deserves. The glorious majority of 33*, which was speedily announced by means of handbills and a. placard in the window of our office, and at other places, diffused universal joy—unless we may except a few unfortunate Con servatives, who were wofully astounded, and who sought their consolation in drawing up an address to Sir Robert Peel— whether advising him no longer to hazard his repose and his health by enduring the hopeless evils of office. we could not learn, so snugly was the thing managed. —Kent Herald ( Can terbury), April 9. The Speaker and Mrs. Abercromby gave their second dinner party on Saturday evening, in Carlton-gardens, to Lord Dalmeny, the Right Hon. Charles Grant, Lord King, Colonel and Lady Mary Fox, Mr. and Mrs. Fazakerly, Mr- Thornhill Baring, Hon.

Lord and Lady Durham gave a splendid ball and stypper, at Lambton Castle, on Tuesday evening,' to his Lord— ship's agents, domestics, and their friends, in honour of the' birth-day of Lady Durham.

During his stay, as Lord Warden, he will hold a harbour sessiGn, to direct the further progress of the works for the improvement of the port of Dover. The exten sive range of buildings now constructing on the Esplanade there are to be named Waterloo Crescent, in honour of the Noble and Gallant Duke, and his former companions in arms. The Marchioness of Wellesley has taken her depar ture for Paris, intending to sojourn for a few weeks at Murice's hotel. Mrs. Fitzherbert has returned to Park-lane, from the Steyne, at Brighton, in consequence of. the delicate state of her niece's health, the Hon. Mrs. Jerningham. . . Sir W. Rae, late Lord Advocate for Scotland, left town on Saturday for Scotland. -- - The Earl of Egremont is recovering from his late indisposition. The contemplated marriage between the Hon. Francis Gordon, of the Ist Life Guards, with Miss Keir Grant, daughter of the gallant General, Sir William Keir Grant, will, it is expected, be solemnized at Bath, where the parties now are. Mr. G. is a son of the Earl of Aboyne. Lady Macdonald is about to bestow her hand and fortune on a French gentleman, named, we believe, De Suze. Her Ladyship is resident at Paris. At the marriage of Lord John Russell to Lady Ribblesdale, there were present the Duke and Duchess of Bed ford, the Marquis and Marchioness of Tavistock, Marquis and Marchioness of Abercorn, Lady Georgiana Gordon, the Earl and Countess of Morley, and other branches of the united fa milies.

LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY.—Last week the Bishop of Winchester, the Bishop of Exeter, and several Noblemen and Gentlemen inspected this splendid work. They were attended by Colonel Landmaun, the engineer and projector of the company. The answer which Mr. O'Connell gave, in St.. James's-street, to a gentleman well known in the fashionable world, is much talked of in certain circles. " Pray what office are you to have, Mr. O'Connell, in the new Administration ?" " The privilege, Sir, I hope, of walking the streets without being asked such questions. You will see me cross over to the Treasury side of the House, with sixty Irish Members, and we shall take our places - behind the Ministers without having made any stipulation whatever, solely because we believe them disposed to do justice to our country." THE DUKE OF NORFOLK.—Of all the distill. ; guished men who have opposed the Tory attempt to restore oligarchical domination in emancipated England, no one, we believe, has entered into it with more ardour than our noble townsman, the Earl Marshal of England. He has exerted himself to the utmost to win the doubtful and secure the wa vering ; and we may be well assured that, so long as he can prevent it by honourable means, a Tory Ministry will never rule in England. A very slight examination of the lists of divisions will serve to show that there is a decided preponile ranee of wealth, ability, and hereditary honour among thu party whom the Tories are pleased to call Destructive... Sheffield Independent. DOLEFUL INTELLIGENCE.—A special meeting of the " South Lancashire Conservative Association" was con vened for the purpose of forwarding an address to Sir Robert Peel, imploring him to stand by the " altar and the throne," defend the " purity of the temple," &c. When the meeting was in deep conclave, and at the moment that the celebrated Mr. Hilton, of Peterloo notoriety, was reading' the draft of the address, The 'gun express, on its way from Mancliester to Liverpool, passed through Newton. The proprietor immedi ately forwarded a copy to the Leigh Arms, at Newton, where the meeting was assembled, containing the speech of the ex, Premier in the house of Commons, announcing his resigna tion. The paper was instantly carried into the room, and felt into the hands of a pious son of the Church, who on opening it, exclaimed in Stentorian voice, to the horror and amazement of all present, " By —, we are done !—its all up with u 8 P'-- Liverpool Mercury. There are two candidates, it is stated, for North Essex, in the room of Mr. Alexander Baring, now Lord Ashburton. One is Mr. St. John Mildmay, a Conservative ; the other the Hon. Mr. Brand, a Whig.

MOUNT ARARET THE LINCOLNSHIRE WOLDS. —Antiquaries and bibliepoles have had much controversy re specting the locality and identity of Mount Araret, on which Noah's Ark rested after the flood. The question is now set at rest by the discovery of some rude characters on a post near or on the Champion's estate at Horncastle, where any person may read, " Noah rode up here," proving from ancient tradition and this inscription, that such was the lane through which Noah rode when he left the ark.—Lincoln Gazette. `We hear much of the prosperity, of 'Nei , South Wales, but facts are stubborn things.
