A. 4. `;4 igic *Am LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 7, 1828. It has been our good fortune on several occa sions to merit the approbation of the public, by furnishing them with the earliest intelligence ; but never have our exertions been attended with such complete success as when we were yester day enabled to give in successive Editions, the speeches of Mr. Husx s sort, at Liverpool, and of th e King of FRANCE, on the opening of the Cham bers. Both were spoken little more than 24 hours before we published them, and when the distance and all the other difficulties are taken into con sideration, the complete success of complicated arrangements in two separate directions should be, considered as no inconsiderable proofs of our anxiety to fulfill the expectations which we had held out to the Public. We believe we need hardly add, that we had exclusively the satisfaction of publishing those important documents, being always averse to raising public expectation without the probability of gratifying it. With respect to Mr. HusxrssoN's speech, on which we yesterday offered some hasty observations the more we reflect on it, the greater source of satisfaction do we derive from the certain assurance which we now possess, that no principles have been sacrificed, 'no concessions made to Ultraism and illibera lity. And what dßec this rove*, hut that the- Duke and. Mr. PEEL are not the illi beral persons that the world took them for. Otherwise, how could they have joined a Cabinet, the outline of whose future con duct was chalked out by Mr. HUSKISSON. The Noble Duke had certainly no great tempta tion to quit that most important office to which he had been called on the demise of the heir to th e Crown—the head of that profession in which he had acquired all his glory. Mr. PEEL'S wealth makes office of no importance to him, except as the means of gaining additional reputation and character—and how would his character, or that of the Noble DUKE, be regarded if they had subscribed to a line of policy which they disapproved in their hearts, or had merely asso ciated with Mr. HusxissoN and his friends, in th e vain hope of employing them as a blind to th e deep machinations which their minions attri bute to them ? With respect to Lord LANSDOWNE'S refusal to join the Cabinet under guarantees which satisfied Mr. IlusKissorr, we not only deeply regret the circumstance, but cannot help express ing our decided disapprobation of his Lordship's conduct, much as we esteem his public and pri vate character. Under all the circumstances of the case, when Tories and Whigs had changed half-a-dozen times from the Treasury to the Opposition Benches, so that the signification of the terms was almost lost in the happy approximation Of all sensible men to the principles of Mr.. CANNING, and whe n another appa- rent effort was making to up se t the policy of that great man, was it for T Lord LANS' DowNE, at such a moment to Stickle about . 'joining an Administration sanc tion ed by the ad berence of Mr. CANNING'S personal and politi cal friends—merely because he had sail that he would never form part of a GOternment with a Tory Head? Did he not ran the risk of inflicting on the Country an Ultra Ministry, who with our landed interest and established clergy to back them, might for some short time, have done in lculable and almost irremediable mischief? k;,oureq, , LANSDOWNII ought not to have hesitated about the line he should take, because :: th e world might charge him with inconsistency. * - -Ria high Character alone might have made it .4,„%afe for him to despise the '.7 4 _6113 ."

'The Speech of the King of FRANCE is ex- S 1 , . * teedingly temperate, and very much in accor .. ck , fiance with the tenor of his MAJESTY'S Speech to both Houses of Parliament.

It affords the best guarantee, that the cause of freedom will be respected by the Kings of ENGLAND and FRANCE, while they consult at the same time their own glory and the happiness of their subjects. We re print the King of FRANCE'S speech, that those of our town readers who received the first Edi tion may not be disappointed. The whole of our Country Readers had the latest Edition. By the arrival of the Duke of Marlborough packet we have received Lisbon Gazettes to the 31st ult. The Chamber of Peers has been occupied upon the consideration - of the project of a law on the liberty of commerce, which originated in and was passed by the Chamber of Deputies. Its object is to make the ports of Lisbon and Oporto free ports, open to the Mer chantmen of all nations with which Portugual is not at war. It also provides that the merchandize, from whatever country it may come, shall be admitted in depot, with full permission to•re export it, on payment of a charge of one per cent. The Chamber was not at all unanimous upon the subject, and a Special Committee was chosen to examine still further into the merits of the question : LISBON.-SITTINGS OF THE CHAMBERS. CHAMBER OF PEERS, JAN. 19. ORDER OF THE DAY. The Marquis of Tancos read a project of law on the liberty of commerce, and the Report of the Committee upon it. This proposition in favour of the liberty of com merce was passed in the Chamber of Deputies on the 3d of March, 1827, and consists of 13 articles, the first of which declares the porta of Lisbon and Oporto open to the merchantmen of all nations with which Portugal is not at war ; and the second declares that all merchandise, from whatever country it may come, shall be admitted in depot in the porta of Lisbon and Oporto, with full permission to re-export it on payment of 1 per cent. The Report of the Committee entering into detailed re marks on the several articles, is, on the whole, not favour able to the adoption of the proposed law, and concludes by observing, that " the Committee acknowledge that, at a proper time, the proposed measures, with suitable altera tions, may be very useful : they, however, appear prema- ' Lure under the present circumstances, when treaties are pending, which may be made with more advantage; and it is of opinion that prudence requires to put off, till the next Session, an affair which deserves to be considered very maturely, to prevent any inconvenience which may arise from precipitation, which it may be difficult to remedy, and will only give room for repentance." After a very long debate, the question on the motion of the Conde de S. Miguel was adjourned by a majority of 32 votes to 5. In the Sitting of the 23d it was again brought forward, and, on the motion of the Conde de S. Miguel, it was re solved to appoint a special Committee, for the examination of this important question, and to defer all further discussion till it had made its report. The Committee, consisting of seven Members, was immediately chosen by ballot, and it was resolved that the Peers composing it should be dispensed from all other busi ness. ID the Sitting of the 25th of January, the Order of the Day waa the debate on the question of the four accused Peers, when, after a very long debate, it was resolved that there were grounds for the accusation, and that the said Peers should be suspended in the exercise of their functions. The Chamber then proceeded to the nomination of a de putation of 14 Peers, to pay their compliment.. 4i 4.ht In fant Du,. Miguel, on 1.1. .rrivat. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, JAN. 19. The Order of the Day was the project of law on the di vision of the territory, which gave rise to a very long de bate on the second article, which was continued in the sitting of the I st. In the sitting of the 23d, a project of law for the natu ralization of foreigners was brought forward, and in the sittings of the 24th, 25th, 26th, and 27th, the Chamber discussed a project of law on the regulations of the two Chambers. Letters have been received from the city of Mexico of the 9th, and Vera Cruz 15th of De cember. His Majesty's ship Pil/ades was to sail on the following day from the latter port, but without any specie for account of Govern ment. The political state of the country is stated to be improved ; they continued busy in passing the laws, with considerable mo difications, for the expulsion of the old Spa niards. ESTEVA had not then commenced his duties as the new Financ e Minister, but was expected shortly to be in a state of activity; it is also stated he had expressed himself confi dently that he should be enabled to negotiate the loan successfully, which had for some time, been in agitation. Since writing the above we learn the P . ylades actually sailed from Vera Cruz on the 16th without specie for Government. We yesterday received American Papers along with our Express from Liverpool, but as their contents were not important, we gave no ex. tracts. Indeed, if so disposed, we had little room, from the pressure of far more interesting matter. Extract of a Letter received from St. Thomas's Jan. 10 :—A lime-of-battle ship, a frigate, and two trans ports, under LABoanz, have sailed from Porto Rico to Ca raccas, where, it is said, they expect a Spanish ship, with troops, from Europe, and then they will proceed to the Spanish Main. Application has been made by the mer chants for the protection of our trade, and a Danish frigate has sailed to La Guayra, where the British frigate Druid is also stationed at present, which, however, will all end in smoke. We had, last week, a littl e touch of an earth quake here, but it did not do any injury. [The hour at which our Express left Liver pool, rendered it impossible f or us to give the p ar ti cu l ars i f Mr. H oax issoN 's explanation as fully as we could have wished ; we hare therefore given it at length in our Paper of to-day.] DRURY-LANE T H EATRE.—Last evening, Miss PATON, after an absence of several weeks from these boards, made her re-appearance as 3fandane, in the opera of Artaxerxes.

Mr. WHITMAICSII stated that be had an application to make in one of those cases with which of late his Lordship hai been repeatedly troubled, namely, where a young lady, a ward, had married without the approbation of the Court. The nature of his application was, that the young gentle man might be ordered to attend on Monday next. His foßneuir made the order. MR. WELLESLEY'S CHILDREN. Mr. BXAMES asked permission to have a petition in " Wellesley v. The Duke of Beaufort" in the paper for Monday; the object was, to have the Master directed to proceed de die in diem, upon the order to him of reference respecting Mr. Wellesley's children being sent to Eton.-- Application granted. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT. FLEMMING F. ST. JOHN. It wilt be recollected that in this case a Bill of Discovery had been filed by the plaintiff against the defendant, for th.• purpose of proventinv the of certain promissory note*, passed for part of the amount of a sum of mossy lost at Gregory Ballard's, in George-street, flanover square. The defendant demurred to the bill, on the ground that his answer might be subject to certain penalties. When the case was argued a few days since, hie HONOUR was then of opinion that the plaintiff had no right to a discovery, and the only difficulty that presented itself was as to the particular form in which the objection ought to have been taken by the defendant. It was argued that the defendant should have pleaded the several statutes by which the penalties could be inflicted,—that these statutes did not appsar on the face of the bill; and therefore it was argued that a demurrer could not take any notice of tkem. The question of practice his Hoxoux thought of considera ble importarce, and deferred his judg,usent upon thaepartieu lar point until he should look at the authorities. His Honour, this mornii.g, said that he had carefully examined all the cases, and found that the objection might be made by demurrer, even when the penalties where inflicted by posi tive statutes, as well as where the defendant could be pro secuted at common law. The demurrer, in the present case, was therefore allowed. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. REV. ROBERT TAYLOR. As it was generally understood that the Rev. Orator of the Areopagus would be brought up to receive the judg ment of the Court this day, a number of his friends were in attendance from the sitting of the Court at 12 o'clock. The SOLICITOR GENERAL rose, and moved the judg ment of the Court on Robert Taylor. Lord TENTICRDEN then proceeded to read his notes of the evidence given on the trial at Guildhall, and, upen concluding, inquired if Mr. Taylor had any affidavits to put in ; to which Mr. T. replied in the negative. Lord TENTERDEN then inquired if Mr. Taylor wished to say any thing in mitigation of judgment. Mr. Taylor then read a printed speech which he held in his hand, and which occupied the Court for above two hours. It chiefly consisted of a diatribe against the Chris tian faith. It argued in arrest of judgment, on the ground of misdirection on the part of the Learned Judge, and of the impossibility of the defendant's having a fair trial, because the Jury were prejudiced against him. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, Sir J. SCARLETT, and the RECORDER having been severally heard in aggravation, Mr. Justice BAILEY proceeded to pronounce the judg ment of the Court, which was, _ _ Mr. Justice BAYLEY pronounced the sentence of the Court, which was, that the defendant should be impri soned in Oakham goal, in the county of Rutland, for the space of one year; that at the expiration of that time he should find securities for his good behaviour for five years, himself in 5001., and two sufficient persons in 250/. each. It having been late in the day when this judgment was delivered, we can only state the result—the judgment it self we will give verbatim in a Second Edition. HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY.

GARRICK'S DIAMOND CROSS.—WC have received the following from a correspondent, and have every reason to believe it is cor►ect :— , The late Mrs. GAR RICK was so struck with the acting of KEAN, that as a token of her estimation e: his talents, she presented him 'with a favourite diamond cross, left by the English Roscius to be sold on the death of Mrs. GARRICK, with other i'personalities, the produce of which was directed by his will to be distributed among certain of his rela tions. It having been ascertained by the Executors that in this cross she had but a life interest, and could not in con sequence dispose of it, they determined to get it back, and for this purpose applied to Mr. KLAN, who, aware of their intention, avoided the applicants by every means in his power, and for some time secluded himself in private lodg ings. On being at length found, and on his expressing a strong desire to retain possession of the cross, the Exe cutors consented to its being valued, and the amount there of deducted from the legacy left at the disposal of Mrs. GARRlCK.—Brighton Gazette. a THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

The rich ray of the evening sun, The rose leaf which it lights upon, The night star in a cloudless sky, The glances of a love fill'd eye, The dreams of an enarnour'd maid, And young hope's prospects ere they fade! Are bright--but cannot pain beguile, Nor glad the heart, like—Beauty's smile. Soft are the mom-beams, as they rest Upon some lake's untroubled breast; 'Soft are the whisper'd words of love, And softer yet the heart they move ; And soft the sleep the infant sleeps, And soft the drop which pity weeps, But nought beneath yon tranquil sky, Is half so soft, as--Beauty's sigh. And music has the power to melt Even souls that love have never felt ; And sorrow's tale will touch the heart, Beyond the eloquence of art ; And helpless childhood's plaints will move, To deepest grief, a mother's love ; But what so touching can we hear, Or see, or feel, as—Beauty's tear. And lovely are the tints which glow, A moment in Heaven's fleeting bow, The flow'ret's leaf, ere yet the dew Has disappear'd, is lovely too ; The heaving form, the lily brow, The rich lip, breathing some soft vow, Are lovely, Re young passion's flush, But lovelier far, is—Beauty's blush. By these has Beauty tempted here, Even angels from their radiant sphere. As lightning to the needle flies, They left their heaven for woman's eyes ;• And never mourn'd their perfect bliss, In that world—cbang'd for love in this; While man would yield his hopes on high, For Beauty's blush, smile, tear, and sigh. * Sect " Loves of the Angels."

Sir JAMES SCARLETT has declined to ac cept a num'oer of retainers which have been presented to him professional gentlemen in Yorkshire, since his de termination to resign the office of Attorney-General was announced. The answer is, that it is not the intention of Sir JAMES to return to the Northern Circuit.—Leeds Mercury. LADY WILLIAM PAGET.—On Saturday Lady PAGET was delivered of a still-born son. This oc currence was shortly afterwards succeeded by formidable and alarming symptoms of inflammation; and until the last two days great apprehensions were entertained for her Ladyship's safety. A gradual amendment has, we an nounce with pleasure, since taken place, and the most san guine hopes are now entertained of her Ladyship's recovery. An express having been despatched on Monday to her Ladyship's mother at Bath, that lady arrived in Dublin yesterday afternoon, to enjoy the satisfactioa of hailing the restoration (we hope we may use the word) of her beloved daughter to her husband and friends.

SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL.' -- Yesterday a Meet ing of the Subscribers to this Charity was held at thei• Rooms, 19, Bi l hopsgatc-street. The Secretary read LI. Report, which was flattering. After which, thanks wer, voted to the Chairman, Doctor Butane, and the Meeting separated. ir it).ol k Characters are to be found even among watchmen.. They are not al/ mere coat and lump, and indifference.--- By the way, what do they think of in general? Hnw do they vary the monotony of their ruminations from owe to two, and from two to three, and so on? Are they com paring themselves with the unoecial eobler ; thinking of what they shall have for dinner to-morrow; or what they were about six years ago ; or that their lot is the hardest in the world, (as insipid old people are apt to think, for the pleasure of grumbling) ; or that it has so me advan tages nevertheless, besides fees; and that if they are not in. bed; their wife is? Of Characters, or rather varieties among watchmen, we remembet several. One was a Dandy watchman, who used to ply at the top of Oxford-street, next the Pa r k. We called him the dandy, on account of his utterance. H e had a mincing way with it, pronouncing the a in the word st n as i t i s jet " hat,"—making a little p:eparatory hem befoit he spoke, and then bringing out his "Past ten" in a style of genteel indifference, as if, upon the whole, he was of that opinion; Another was the Metairie' Wi atchneaze. who paced the same street towards Hanover-square, and hail a clang in his voice like a trumpet. He was a voice and nothing else; belt any difference is something in a watchman: A third, who cried the hour in Bedford-square, was remarkable in his eaNiag for being abrupt and loud.— There was a fashion among his tribe just come up at that time, of omitting the words " Past" and "o'clock," and crying only the number of the hour. I know not whether a recollection I have of his performance• one night is entire matter of fact, or whether any subsequent fancies of what might have taken place are mixed up with it ; but my im pression is , that as I was turning the corner into the square With a friend, and was in the midst of a discussion in which ritmehers were concerned, we were suddenly startled, as if in cptiQtion of it, by a brief and tremendous outcry of—One. Thi paragraph ought to have been at the bottom of the page, Mt the word printed abruptly roundithe corner. A. fourth watchman was a very Angular phenomenon, a Reading watchmen , He had a book, which - he read by the light of his lantern ; end instead of a pleasant, gave you a very uncomfortable idea of Idni. It seemed cruel to pitch amidst so many discomforts and privations: one who had imagination enough to wish to be relieved from them. Nothing but a sluggish vacuity befits a watchman. But tho oddest of all was the Sliding Watchman. Think of walking up a street in the depth of a frosty winter, with long ice in the gutters, and sleet over head, and then figure to yourself a sort of bale of a man in white, coining sliding towards you with a lantern in obe band, and an umbrella over his head. It was the oddest mixture of luxury and hardship, of juvenility and old age ! But this looked agreeable. Animal spirits carry everything before them ; and our invincible friend seemed a watchman for Rabelais. Time was run at and butted by him like a goat. The slide seemed to bear him half through the night at once; he slipped from out of his box and his common-places at one rush of a merry thought, and seemed to say, " Every thing's in imagination ;—here goes the whole weight of my office."_Leigh Hunt's Companion, No. V. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - _ SlR—Among the various measures that have from time to time been adopted in this country, for the benefit of the lower classes, I am surprsed tl;at no associations have been formed among the hezds of families for the better government of female ser vants; lam convinced that were 50:11 associations to be entered into, a real and lasting bc.-ofit would thereby be conferred on the servants themselves, on .heir employers, and on the efeninunity at large, end that we should soon see a great falling off in the ranks of those unfortunate females who prowl about our streets, and fill our gaols and convict ships, and the greater number of whom once belonged to the class alluded to. These associations might be established in every part of the kingdom, and might be useful in various ways, but more partieula by discountenancing the inordinate love of dress, which fo ow female unfortunately domes t c p s ! natandd w e almost them directly or indirectly to sharrke,infnmy, wretch edness, and crime. It is clear that.this of dress is hich letandes wholea nb e b rs ('d of on f tuite inconsistent and incompatible with their rate of wages, and consequently, as vet' y few of them has e pri vate funds to draw apoti, must be maintained,. her by -lishonesty; or the sacrifice of their virtue. By pur ',eing the latter course they not only lose their own characters, but are the means of ruining numbers of young men in all the diticrent branches of business, 'vho, in order temporaidy to gain their affections, and to flatter the vanity caused, or at all events en ereased ten-fold, by this wretched passion for finery, defraud their employers, aed frequently finish their career on the scaffold. lam aware that it would be very difficult, if not impossible, radically to cure an evil, which has attained to such a height ; and that, if it were possible to do so, vice w0,;.1,1 still prevail ; but I am confident, if the heads of families were to unite and make an unalterable rule, that at the time of engaging servants they would hire none i.eL! . such as would agree to dress in a manner suitable to ti2eir station, that the rage for dress in this class would receive a decided check, and the greatest strong hold vice possesses among them (though this be a bold expression) would be shaken to its • foundation. There are many ways besides this in which such as sociations as I have alluded to might do much good, but there is none by which they could, in my opinion, be of such effectual service to themselves and to their female servants (than whom a more useful class no where exists, or one more deserving every care and at tention that can be bestowed on them). I have often co nsidered this subject,but my attentiOn has been very forcibly drawn to it by reading in your excellent paper of the 25th January, an extract from the Poems of Mr. Gent, painting, in very feeling terms, the extremity of misery endured by the daughters of error and misfortune. I should feel great pleasure if, by inserting the foregoing remarks, or any other more forcible ones of your own in your paper, you would be the means of interesting the public, and more especially the female part of it, on this subject.
