CITY, TWELPE O'CLOCK. Where appears a disposition in the public to sell ,7 10 ne4 Stock this morning, and a plentiful supply I ' 4l 'appeared in the market. Consols opened at I, were buyers at for a short time, and after /elrograding to 851 1, arc now at their first price; t he Commissioners gave 85k. There has been no till ettration ha the premium on India Bonds or Ex "equer Bills, the former remaining at 98 9, and t he latter at 64 5. In the Foreign Funds the only security to which ' at tention has been paid is Mexican Bonds. Early pis the morning it was known that the long-expected 14 2 rd Melville packet had arrived at Falmouth, and t heiobbers and dealers were all anxiety for a confirma rl°A of the intelligence received from this quarter some Ilke since via New York. The result has woefully di ' 84 Pponated the sanguine ideas of those who wait '°r the, rise under these expectations. The letters 4 ‘" ll Vera Cruz are of the 16th March, and the ge 4etill aspect of their contents give but little hopes of lollars either corning, or that the Government have th e means, however well inclined, to pay the over due dividends; and any amount they have in hand, ° far from being likely to be appropriated to this will be required to meet the common ex ileoces of the Government at home, and not a single i tlo llar is likely to come to this country by the Scylla. It is said that this vessel will bring upwards of two tn illions of dollars; but all are stated to be for the ac '4.°ont of the merchants and expatriated Spaniards, who .ate leaving in shoals, and draining the country of all 1 : 3 specie. His Majesty's ship Blossom was also at '' 4 r l 131 as, taking in money, and would bring an "9t amount to this country. The first price of t per Cent. Bonds was 44, a n d th e y go t u p 4. 41, at which some bargains were done. After th e contents of the advices had been made known, th e' declined in a few minutes as low as 38, rallied again to 39 40, and are now 381 1. The arrival °F two.

COURT OF CHANCERY. The LORD CHANCELLOR sat to-day in Lincoln's Inn Hall, and this being the First Seal after Term, :he Court proceeded to hear motions, BLA}EMORE V. GLAMORG A NP.itirtE CAN L COMPANY. Notice of two motions in this cause had been given—the one by the defendants, to dissolve the injuntAina that had been granted by Lord Eldon, restraining them from widening and deepening their basin on the Canal at Cardiff, beyond the extent to which it had been widened and deepened on a certain day, that no additional supply of water might be taken out of the river Taff, which would leave the plaintiff's works short of the portion of water they required:; and the other notice, by the plaintiff, to enlai - ge the injunction, so as to prevent the defendants erecting certain buildings or works now in contemplation. Messrs. Horne, Sugden, and Knight appeared for the defendants, and Messrs. Pepys, Bickersteth, Wakefield, and Munro were for the plaintiffff. The defendants' notice having been given first, their Counsel proceeded to opcll t h e mot i on for dis solving the injunction, At great length. V ICt-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. LEIGH V. HARVEY. Shortly after the sitting of the Court this morn ing, Mr. Daniel Whittle Harvey addressed the Vice- Chancellor on the subject of a misrepresentation,which appeared in the Illorning Herald of Monday last, of what took place upon the application in this cause. Mr. Harvey went into a long explanation of the trans action out of which the suit arose; but as we did not give insertion to the statement of which he complained, we do not think it necessary to trouble our readers with its refutation. The natter was en tirely of a personal nature; it is, however, but justice to Mr. Harvey to state, that the Vice-Chancellor declared that nothing had been mentioned in the Court upon the occasion alluded to, which could warrant any person in attributing improper conduct to Mr. Harvey. JUDGMENT.—ARIGNA MINING COMPANY. HITCHENs r. ceiNGREvE AND OTHERS. His HoNourt gave judgment upon the application in this cause, which has already been so much before the public in every possible shape. After going over the principal facts, his Honour said, that inasmuch as the suppressio veri, or the suggestio falsi, had al ways been deemed sufficient to set aside a deed in a Court of Equity, he did not see how the deed by which the Company agreed to give Flattery 25,000/. for the mines, could stand, when, in fact, he only received 10,0001. for them. The great body of the Shareholders were ignorant of the arrangement be tween Flattery and the defendants, and had executed the deed solely the faith of the representations which appeared on the face of it. Under these cir cumstances, his Honour felt bound to order, that Sir Congreve do pay into Court, on or before the first day of Trinity Term next, to abide the re sult of the suit, 3,5001.; that Joseph Clarke do pay in, in the same manner, 1,0471.; and that Henry pay in the sum of 2,041/. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. XING V. CLIFFORD. This was an action to recover damages for an assault committed upon the wife of the plaintiff at Croydon Fair. Mr. Sergeant Spankie and Mr. Barstow conducted the case far the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Andrews for. the defendant. It appeared from the evidence, great part of which is of too gross a nature to admit of publica tion, that the parties were at Croydon Fair, where the defendant addragsing a female in whose com pany he was, poured a volley of gross abuse upon the wife of the plaintiff, applyilig epithets to her such as ought not to have been applied to any re spectable female, and such as cannot here be repeat ed, and concluded by throwing some beer over her clothes. This was the assault complained of. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS, for the defendant, said that the facts of the case were these. Mr. Clifford had been compelled to make a composition with his creditors, and Mr. King had been following him through the fair, upbraiding him with his misfortune, and making use of language which eventually led to the occurrence that bad been described. The smallest coin in the realm, he felt assured the Jury would be of opinion would satisfy the justice of the case. The Learned Counsel called a witness who de posed that Mr. King commenced the quarrel by calling the defendant a swindler and telling him to pay for his top boots and his clothes. Several wit -I,,,.tsses also contradicted the statement of the plain tiff's witnesses as to the assault. The CHIEF JUSTICE suggested the propriety of Nettling the case by withdrawing a juror. To this proposition the Counsel for the defendant agreed to accede ; but Mr. Sergeant SPANKIE refused, and replied upen the evidence for the defence. After which The 011E1' JUSTICE charged the Jury that all the plaintiff could recover, even if they believed his witnesses, was the amount of damage done to the dress. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff in the first count, relating to the damage done to the dress—damages one farthing; and for the defendant on the second count. SPIRIT OF THE PLAYS OF SHAKSPEARE. —We are pleased to find that Mr. How Aim has had spirit enough to continue these characteristic illustrations. The last published number, contains Julius Ctesar and Antony and Cleopatra, which, as they abound in diversified cha racter and incident are treated with proportionate ability. Mr. HowA an's Brutus, in the former tragedy, is admirably conceived throughout : he is quite the lofty—calm—un bending patriot that SHAKSTEARE has made him. In the first Illustration, where ANTHONY in the back-ground, is seen offering C,ESAR the Crown at the Feast of the Lupercal— " You all do know that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown." BRUTUS and Cassius are very impressively introduced in the fore-ground. The figure of the former, in particular, has considerable elevation of mind and manner about him. In the murder scene, too, his face is fnll of tragic meaning. Illustration No. 111., Portia Kneeling to Brutus, is re markable for the graceful and natural manner in which the pictur e is made out. The groupe of covered figures, near -a statue's base, with the marble columns of some temple, and the trees and fountain in the distance, are a delightful re lief to the two figures in front. The appearance of the Ghost of C.ESAR, at the moment when Balms is dying, is very grand, and remind s us of one of OSSIAN'S spectres, floating past the Bard upon their throne of clouds. Of the Anthony and Cleopatra we hav e little space left to speak : it abounds, how ever, in Mr. flowAan's characteristic defects and beauties, the latter preponderating. We have received from this artist a note in which he hints a courteous regret at the way in which we have commented on his former illustra tions. We are sorry i f easioned him uneasin e ., we have in the slightest degr ee oc - , ; but a respect for truth com pelled ns to write as we did. Our criticisms, whether on the Fine Arts or the Belles Lettres in general, are invari ably conducted (without regard to individual feeling), on principles of the rigidest and nrost unswerving impartiality. They claim no merit beyond this. il ui GILHAM, THE INIErItDEitE —The Counsel to unsuc cessful result of the attempt of Gr communicated to him on S unday se'nni disturb the conviction of this wretch e d man at our late A l 7. 11 Assize, Ras ht by 3 g 1*: he received it without any great degree of emotion, and said it was no more than be had expected. It is gratifying to learn, that, since his trial, GILLIIAM has conducted himself in a manner highly becoming his awful situation. His nights are undisturbed, and he rises at five o'clock, pass i n g sometime on his knees in f ervent pray er; th e Chaplain also visits him daily after prayers, and administers spiritual advice adapted to his situation, and to which the unhappy culprit pays the most serious attention. His private hours are chiefly spent in - readiug or meditatio n ; and he is frequently observed to shed tears. At times he expresses his earnest wish that it was possible to recal the past, and laments, in bitter anguish, the dis tressed situation in which his wife will be left, and the pain he has occasioned his friends; he has, however, made no further confession of his guilt, though he never denies it. The wifi of the wretched man is at present in this town, and has been recently delivered of a daughter.— Cheltenham, Chronicle. INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYVS.

BLACKHEATH.—The Assemblies held at the Green Man hotel dosed for the season on Monday evening with a brilliant assemblage. They were uniformly well and elegantly attended, and kept up with great spirit. - - TWO privates of the 72d Highlanders were, on Monday last, drummed ont of their regiment at Canter bnry ; they had robbed the apartments of their Colonel during his absence in Lendon, for which they received 600 lashes each. On their recovery, it was determined to expel them from the regiment, and accordingly, having been stripped of their uniforms, and dressed in plain clothes, with ropes suspended round their necks, and led by the the culprits were p ara d e d roun d t h e bar younger hoyu of the regiment, th e d rums b eat i ng t h e rack-square, and arck' drummed into Northgate, when they went set at liberty, as unworthy of serving any longer in the regiment. —Sussex Advertiser.

PRlnt LEOPOLD;S PARTY.—His Royal Highness Prince LEOPOLD gave a most splendid entertain ment to a numerous party on Monday night, at Marlbo rough-house. The rooms were most brilliantly illuminated, and exhibited a most magnificent display. The tables were set out with great taste, on which Were a Mmiber bf costly and superb ornaments ; some of which were entirely new. The refreshments consisted of every delicacy that could possibly be procured. A Mist of first-rate musical talent was engaged for the gratification of the distinguished vi- Biters, consisting of Mademoiselle SOScrAG, Madame PASTA, Madame CARADORL Madame Pim', and Madame AleaiN ; Signors CURIONI, ZUCHELLI, PELLEGRINI, DEGREE, and DE BEGNIS, who performed n concert in the course of the I night in the principal d.awing-room.

INTERIOR OF A NUNNERY : A NUN TAKING THE VEIL.—We have just seen a print of this striking cere mony, published by MooN, Boys, and GRAVES. It is from a painting by GRANET, and is well worthy of attention. The solemn aspect of the conventual chapel, the gable dress of the Nuns, and the fine reach of perspective extending up the whole length of the aisle, aro pourtraysd with much effect. The Nun herself too who is in the act of kneel ing, while the Abbess or some assistant is cutting off her ringlets, has a very impressive appearance. There is (if we may use the term) a devout wretchedness about her, highly characteristic of the ceremony she is undergoing. On the whole, the print is an excellent one. GRAND ENTERTAINMENT BY THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF ST. ALBANS.—A splendid entertain ment was given to a numerous and highly distinguished Party on Tuesday morning, by the Duke and Duchess of ST. ALBANS, in Stratton-street, on the occasion of the christeniug of the Daughter of Mr. and Lady CAROLINE Carxt, to whom the Duchess stood sponsor. The cere mony (which was performed by Lord F.

The whole concluded by the Company, (consisting of more than two hundred guests) sitting down to a D6eune, on a scale equalling in magni ficence any thing ever given in that noble mansion.

EPSOM RACES. %Dram)Ar.—The races to-day were superior in every respect to those of yesterday, being better contested, more valuable, and of greeter importance. The company was mote numerous and fashionable, and the wmther equally favourable. After the races were over, the betting men assembled be fore the Coffee-house in the town, and some business was done at the following odds:_-. 31 to 1 aget Mr. Petre's he Colotel 9 to 2 agst Duke of Rutland's Cadiand 6 to 1 agst Mr. Chiffney's Zinganee 8 to 1 agst Mr. Hotildsworth's Larribtonian 12 to 1 agst Mr. Payne's Johanna Southcote 16 to 1 agst Duke of Grafton's Omen '2O td 1 agst Duke of Grafton's Lancastrian 25 to 1 aget Mr. &Wit's Al,!aston 25 to 1 agst Mr. Thornhill's 'Vet - chant 25 to 1 agst Mr. Sadler's Challenger. ftough Robin is not expected to start.

The amount of the match not being set forth in the calendar, we made inquiry, and found that it was got up on the spur Of the momenthorse for horse ; to those who knew particulars it created d lively interest from its novelty, and after starting the interest became more general. At starting, off went Friday at the top of his speed, G.:- lileo following very close ; in this way they went the greater part of the distance (a tulle), when Friday turned out a complete jade, fell back, and was all but done up : luckily, however, Galileo could not mend his pace in time to take the advantage of his falling off, and Friday won it by a neck. Had they gone three et four strides more, Galileo must inevitably have won ; and if &loafer 100 yards, in a canter. George Dockery rode the winner, th'd T. Farlow the loser.

Betting-6 to 4 agst Logic and 2to 1 agst Fille de Joie. They went off at a rattling pact, Fille de Joie i❑ front, Conrad a good second, and the others well in ; they kept thlir places to the chains, where Logic, who had kept a good look nut, got into good running, Fille de Joie giv ing way at the same time ; a short sharp struggle followed between Conrad and Logic, the latter at one time looking like a winner, but being ultimately defeated in high style by three lengths ; the winner was rods by Pavis, Logic by G. Dockery, Fille de Joie by F. Boyce, Forfeit by Conolly, and Raymond by Farlow. The Woodcot Stakes of 30 goys. each, h. ft. ; for 2-yr-old colts, Hat. 61b. ; and fillies, Bst. 31b. Last half mile.

After several false starts, they were got together, and went off nearly abreast, Eugene having a trifling front ; for the greater part of the ground the race was beautiful, but towards the end, the others giving way, Shepherdesa shot ahead of Eugene, and_ won cleverly by two lengths, rode by S. Day, Eugene by John Day, Dicky Dolus by young Buckle, and Mr. Maberly's by F. Royce.

Some time Was lost in getting the horses together; they went away at a good pace, Lunacy taking the lead, followed by Vulcan, Jocko, and Helenus, the others lying well up : so they went to the hill, being in most beautiful position. At the mile post Lunacy began to give way', and her place was imme diately supplied by Jocko, who kept the lead and the run ning to Tottenham corner : here rielenus came np to him with Vulcan at his heels, and these three made a most inte resting race the remainder of the ground ; Helenus, how ever, went a head, when half-way within the distance, and won by half a length in good style. A great deal of interest was excited on this race, and the betting was heavy. The winner was rode by Goodison ; Jocko, by Chapel ; Vulcan, by Conolly; Tramp and Skim, by lads; Constance, byJ. Day; the Rho f. by Baker; Lunacy, by Pavis; and Constantine, by Farlow.

Cheltenham Chronicle. SPIRII OF VIE PUBLIC JOURNAL, The speech of Mr. P. Thomson, introductory of a motion for mitigating the operation of the Usury Laws, was heard on Tuesday evening with great respect by the House, and will com mand, no doubt, an equal degree of attention throughout the country. Grounds, we are of opinion ; might be stated for inducing Parliament to pause a little before it consented to an .abrupt and absolute repeal of so much of the tfoury Law as establishes a certain rate of interest fo'v money. No man of any reflection can be disposed to swallow the absurd notion that particular in terests only are protected, and others exclusively restrained and embarrassed by the present law. The fact is, that for one case in which it shields the borrower, in many more it disappoints or oppresses him. Should the state of the market and the urgency of his own afiirs be such as to justify a rate of interest of 8 per cent., without ex totrliialeevacogataniiii e e r ein him who wants to borrow , or blame able co ve t ousness i n him who has money tolend, the a neither fai o r bt p a r i o n fi r t el fo on r his s e r a ] p ec it e a s l sit wthu necessities, nor e p N r ' i ti e d t i o i r ig o o f r a d ir ir c e e c h t o ly m vi c o s l t a a t t i e ng ca t i l l i n e o l t aLv k . c arrdi:nenragoe of that solid security which the nature of his property i ought to afibrd him, if the price of mo ney in the 'Market be but 10s. per cent. above the legal interest. He is therefore obliged to offer an inferior—viz., 4 IleTsonal and tempo rary —security, paying for - it, Dot tell shillings, but ten pounds above the lawful interest, because of the risk supposed to be attached to the sub stitute of a deed of annuity for one of mortgage. The whole system of annuities, with its evil workers, the Howard's and Gibbs's, nod hun dreds like them, have grown out of the 14ury laws, and without them could never have ex i st ,- ed. It is remarkable that this attempt of Mr. Thomson should have been the only one during many years, and having in view the correction of a system, so ruinous, against which no outcry or shout of hato-r has burst forth, on behalf of those sages the country gentlemen and their ad vocates. Mr. Thomson has, indeed, stopped short of what it may one day be judged desirable, even by the " country gentlemen" themselves, to accomplish : but, keeping an eyg to the pre judices yet afloat upon the question, lie acted wisely to halt where he did. His propsition goes to sweep away whatever had been so pre posterously ingrafted on money transactions be , tween itiati and man, as to throw an air of crime and .atrocity ovei simple bargain for merchan dise. He gets rid or the enormous penalties, amounting to treble the stun le»t, by which not only has the contract hitherto ken invalidated, but the lender punished. So much interest as is at present allowed by law, may still be enforced against the borrower under the contract in which he binds himself to pay a higher interest ; 3nd, moreover, he is liable in conscience and honour for the exce4s above the legal interest, without enjoying that protectlini from public sympathy against lenders which has ;Netofore been in a manner created by the penal pr&isions of the law. The Attorney-General and Mr. Goulburn whose negativesileilabstained , subject led a from den, on sup por support, at least is or some value—both offering ‘eth d a ir a e l c a t h oz sition to Mr. Thomson's motion ; and Mr. Sub morepov declared himself anxious for sonic amendment of a law from the present state of which he had known " great injustice to be inflicted." \Vc are therefore not without hope that one of the hydra-heads of a vicious and obsolete course of legislation will ere long be severed irrevocably. —Times. Mr. Estcourt's Licensing 13111 was read a se cond time last night, committed, and ordered to be re-committed on the 6th of June. We agree with Mr. Slaney, that the principle on Ivhich public-houses arc placed under the controui of Magistrates is fundamentally vicious. There it; no reason why Magistrates should .regulate the supply of ale and beer, any more than the supply of meat or bread. All the reasona which have hitherto been urged for giving Magistrates the power of determining the number of' public houses are futile in the extreme. It has been said, if you allow public-houses to compete with each other, they will use undue means to entice customers, and thus the morals of the people will be exposed to great danger. But in all other trades men arc of anxious to obtain customers as publicans are. The baker and butcher would willingly sell as 'nue!: bread and meat as possible. But bakers and butchers supply only those who they think are able to pay them. The publican would not give his ale and freer gratis, any more than the baker his bread. Those who love to be intoxicated will always find means of indulging their propensity; rid nothing can be more preposterous than the idea of subjecting the community to a monopoly which deprives them of a wholesome commo dity, and makes them pay an undue price for one that is bad, for the sake of the public morals. If there be sixty tipplers in a neigh bourhood, it matters not whether these sixty tipplers become intoxicated in three houses or thirty houses. It is the quantity drunk, and not the number of houses in which it is drunk, that determines the amount of intoxication. But; the pretext is too stale to be believed by any one in the present day. The public morals are not the object for which public-houses are placed under regulation, but the public plunder. houses ed b y noisy were to in ale and beer and dealers in bread and meat, however, one material difference betweeaTiClecralecir3:: all but t h e inhabitants of remote quar tersl liberal, al t , e l e a consumption ionfvatrliiaehfloyrinetor, if'c certain effects, more agreeable to the consumers thau to third parties. Much may be allowed in the d P i u s b tu li r c b day time, when we arc prepared for noises of every description i ; o b t ut he il open to a late hour, not only would the or brawlin g ; neigh bourhood be disturbed by the noise in the pub lic-houses, In :fr.! es fi a l 'c distinction,eti street, f l N Magistrateswe whether they a av t se h e drunkards kept ar a ground the fnr streets. tli e nt ours reelin e g ven ho m me, er guardians of the peace, during which houses may be o pen, to punish transgressors, and to abate the nu isance of refractory publicans. No matter whether there be three or three hundred houses licensed, the Magistrates ought unquestionably to have sufficient powers to secure the public be licensed or not against the nuisance above alluded to. But this is perfectly distinct from licensing ; and indeed licensing, which gives a value to houses on ac count of the licenses, is the greatest obstacle with whi c h a police desirous of keeping the peace has to contend. It has introduced a cir culation of publicans, who are merely a sort of servants of the o wners of the houses, and who, when the measure of their iniquity is full, ?mike way for other occupants. In this manner houses so ill conducted as to be quite a nuisance in neighbourhoods are never shut up, but merely receive a rapid succession of occupants. Mr. Slaney furnished some curious statements respect- lb
