SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We learn that the conversation on the wee) duties, which took place in the House of Lords on Tuesday, has occasioned a great deal o! surprise. If ever there was a Bear case established, it is that not only the English manufacturer of wool, but the English grower also, would be ruined if the itefreelnetkiii of foreign wool should he impeded. It, is not, as the Duke of Wellington suggested, that English wool is of a worse quality than it was 30 years ago, it is in fact improved instead of being deteriorated, but it is because, as his Grace remarked in the next sen tence of his speech, that the taste of Englishmen will not now endure so coarse a manufacture as their forefathers were content to wear. It is a fact \veil known out of Parliament, and established beyond the possibility of doubt in tke Committee, that not only all the cloths worn by men in the rank of gentlemen, but even the cloths of livery-ser vants, are, and must be, made of foreign wool: Forty years ago even Court-dreases were made of a material which a second rate farmer would now re ject for his Sunda coat. What, then is the result ? Will English urentlemen—including, of course, Noble Lords as well as decent farmers—abandon their taste for 'wearing handsome coats, and be content to appear in the broad coarse cloth which their respect able parents wore ? As well might we ask them to forego the vintages of Champaigne and Bordeaux lOr the beverage of Devon and Staffordshire. To ee consistent, Lords Redesdale and Stanhope should demand that no liquor should be drunk but British " Oetober , ;" and that English sorrel! should super ,ede the use of Chinese tea and Jamaica coffee. We rake this opportunity of expressing our contempt for those persons who pretend to sneer at our great manufacturers as theorists. Some of the gentlemen alluded to are riot enly manufacturers but merchants on a large scale. They are acquainted with their business in ail its branches, from the price of the fleece just washed, to that of the coat ready for the tvear of the farmer or the Prince. Extensively con nected with all the consumers of the habitable globe, they watch and know the consequences of the least variation in price, whether influenced by fiscal rept laiions or personal demand, from the banks of the Mississippi to the banks of the Ganges. From this extensive knowledge, from this constant supply of facts which the very nature of their traffic compels them to tbserve with the most accurate care, they draw deliberate inferences which, thus founded on a solid basis, and formed with the anxiety of sagacious and well-informed men, are submitted to Parliament for their guidance. Against this enlarged aNd en lightened experience of these theorists is opposed— what ? The limited knowledge of some landlord or fanner who pastures a large or small flock of sheep, some person who knows indeed the price. at which he sells his own wool, but who, ignorant of every market but that of the town nearest to his estate, knows not the influence of public taste, knows not the effect of foreign duties or demand ; nay, is, even ignorant of the striking but well-proved fact that he would not obtain a Single purchaser for his wool, except for the chance of making it saleable by an in , termixture with that foreign material, for the re jection of which he maintains so senseless a brawl. Times. Lord Holland moved last night for a variety of papers, calculated to throw light on recent events in Portugal and Turkey. His Lordship exposed very happily, in what he said as to the Protocol signed by the Duke of Wellington at St. Peters burgh, the futility of the pretext, that force was not contemplated by the framers of it. " The advanta geous position (said his Lordship) which Mr. Can ning had obtained, has not been maintained, cer tainly not improved. We had been told that we were not in a condition to face war. I am one of those who consider this the greatest of calamities to any country, and particularly to this ; but there is one calamity greater, and that would be the loss of our independence. Anxious as I am to protect the interests of the fundholdcr, and to attend to the interests of land, I would seek the sacrifice of these for the independence of the country." There can be no question that the maintenance of indepen dence demands the greatest sacrifices ; but nothing but the maintenance of our independence would jus tify what might involve us in war at the present moment e and wg have yet to see that our indepen dence is threatened. No nation can doubt that if it were necessary we should fight, we could command abundance of resources. But then the necessity which would justify the sacrifices which war would call for must be clear and evident. There is such a thing as danger at home, as well as abroad ; and the danger front a people forced to make sacrifices for a war of which the necessity was not obvious to them, might be more formidable to a Government like ours than the danger from abroad.—Morning Chronicle. The rejection of. the Game Bill in the House of Lords will, we are convinced, be received by the country with equal surprise and regret, a confident e:Teetation having been at length entertained that an experiment would at. least have been tried, to in some measure diminish the fruitful source of crime and misery of which the Game Laws, as they at pre sent stand, are the acknowledged cause. However, procrastination, that " thief of time," has again step ed in, and snatched the cup from the lip; for that the proposed alteration in these laws can only be procrastinated we feel fully persuaded, from the growing conviction which every where exists of its absolute and increasing necessity. The extraor dinary part of the present case is, that the measure which has thus been ultimately rejected was the very same Bill, or neatly such, as that which had origi nated in and passed the Upper House only a few weeks before; but which was of necessity thrown out in point of form in the Commons, owing to its inflicting penalties, or rather creating a tax in the shape of licenses, and in so much, therefore, a Money Bill. It is competent, of course, for either branch of the Legislature to change its mind while a mea sure is depending; but we wish, for many reasons, the present change had not occurred, and that the great landed proprietors, of which the House of Peers is composed, had had the credit, in the eves of the country, of giving up some part of a monopoly, grown too odious in its consequences to be much ; onger retained.—Morning Herald. It would appear now, that little as we trusted to the Portuguese Constitutionalists, from the begin ning, we gave them more credit for spirit and bravery than they deserved. All accounts agree in stating that their conduct was of the most dastardly description, and that in place of making a stand either at Coimbra or Oporto, as they might have done, with an army of ten thousand men (according to their own ac count), they fled at the very sight of the Miguelites, and every one, leaders as well as soldiers, thought only of his own personal safety. Nothing else could have been expected ; and it is only astonishing, after the specimens we have had, within a few years, of the conduct of Constitutional troops, in countries where slavery and superstition prevail, that there should have been so many persons in this country san guine of success. The of airof Portugal is only a repeti tion of what has already thrice occurred within lessthan ten years. The Neapolitans dispersed in a similar man ner before the Austrians, the Piedmontese followed their example, and the Constitutional Spaniards be trayed the same pusillanimous conduct, when opposed to the French in lb:n. Such repeated failures, aris ing too, front the cowardice of the Constitutionalists, have no doubt rendered the word " Constitution" quite ridiculous in those countries, and many years probably 1611 elapse before it comes again into fa vour. We take some credit to ourselves for having taken this view of the subject from the commence ment of our Portuguese expedition ; and we only re gret that Government did not see the affair in the same light, and in place of sending out troops to fa vour either of the parties, leave them, as has been wisely done at last, to fight their own battles. By that ill-judged interference, England has incurred the dislike of a great majority of the Portuguese nation, and been put to the expense of several hundred thousand pounds, which Portugal never will repay. The affair, however, may now be said to be over ; and it only remains to be seen what steps will be tal , ,En by turopcan Courts respecting the new Ge. Vernment established in that country. Nliguel, has been recognized as King by the lien ie and the army; and, though he may not have accomplished this in the inost holititiVabie or legitimate manner, he and thb V+.-ht& nation are not, on that account, to be piViauneed out of the pale of civilized society.— Don Pedro, whose rig it to the appointment of a successor was at best doubtful, has given up all authority over Portugal, the people have pronounced in favour of his brother; and even if he should wish to retract his deed of abdication, and attempt to place his daughter on the throne, how could he do that but by force of arms ? He has already too much on his hands in Brazil ; he has neither men nor money to send to Portugal; and we think the best advice the Courts of Europe could give him would be to yield to the wishes of the nation, ac knowledge fiis brother as King, and put an end to the dispute.—lbid. fr'br ,Z1€*14,114 LONDON. THURSDAY EVENING, JUL‘' 17, 1828. Lord HOLLAND last night brought forward his promised motion upon the present state of our foreign relations, and was met just in the manner which he might have expected from the decided answer which the Duke of WELLINGTON gave to his previous ques tions upon the same subject. The Govern ment wants no vote of credit, and is, there fore, under all the delicate circumstances of the case, justified, we .candidly think, in not making any premature disclosures, which would only have the effect of embarrassing existing ne gociations, without satisfying the curiosity of those who would pry into the arcana of State secrets. If one side of a story be questionable till the other is told, we think that an ex-parte statement of pending negociatious must be equally so, and can be of no earthly utility, save that of forming the foundation of other speeches and subsequent motions. Besides, the season has now gone by for these disclosures, as Parlia ment is about to rise, and Ministers are left to pursue the vanity of their own hearts, uncon trolled by any responsibility. but "that of public opinion, which is of little value to a military Go vernment. So far as Portugal is concerned, the public have now no interest in the case ; Don MIGUEL may lash the people into obedience till they have courage to rebel from mere excess of suffering. If they really want a free Cons . titution, they must assuredly have it sooner or later; and if they do not, it were worse than folly to make people happy against their own will. Let them be slaves to the heart's core ;-we have roused them to a prospect of the " coming glory"—and if they will tamely lie down, and relapse into their former servitude, why let them even do so, and chew the cud of reflection to aggravate their endurance. . With respect to Turkey, the Earl of A BElt- DEEN distinctly stated that the Treaty of London would be strictly adhered to by our Government, who did not apprehend any diffi culty to arise from any views of aggrandizement entertained by Russia.—We shall see. In an►otlier column will be found some ex tracts from the Gazette dc France of Tuesday's date, and from the. Moniteur of Monday. There is one particular sentence to which we beg attention It is said that the Russian squadron will separate from the others, and that a squadron will perhaps be sent to the Dar danelles, to protect the French and Eng lish subjects, or to Alexandria, to execute the Treaty of 6th July." Perhaps it was from an expectation of this necessity that the brave and much calumniated Admiral CODRING TON was recalled from a command to which his energetic and manly conduct proved him so gloriously competent. A coldness must take place between the English and Russian Ad mirals, and as this would not be pleasant to brethren in arms who had so nobly shared the dangers and the glory of Navarin, it was consi dered more delicate to replace Admiral Co- DRINGTON by an official stranger to Count lIEYDEN. This may be good policy ; but the thing is done in a manner the most ungra cious to the feelings of a spirited officer, and it may eventually turn out to the naval interests of the country in that quarter. In saying this, we by no means wish to disparage the eminent services of Sir PULTENEY MALCOLM, who is allowed to be an officer of great prudence, bravery, and decision. The Milan Gazette of the 2d inst. contains an article from Corfi► of the 3d June, in which it is stated that IBItAHIM PACHA bad sent his first General as a Deputy to the Lord High Commissioner, with proposals for tl►e evacuation of the Morea, which are supposed to have been agreeably received, as cc,rn coming from Alex andria has been allowed to enter Modon. Brussels Papers of the 16th inst. say that a Dutch ship had taken 3,000 seals at the Greenland fishery, but that no whales were caught by any vessels up to the 16th June, on which day there was a violent storm, but no damage was done. The Austrian Observer contains an article from Corfu, dated the 14th of June, which makes no mention of IBRAHIM'S proposal.-- On the.l3th, _Admiral de RIGNY arrived there in the niqucrant, which we already knew. The Greeks have had some skirmishes before A na t o lie° and other places, with varied success. Captain HASTINGS died of his wounds. N J U LY —Metalliques, 92 9-16; Bank Shares, • A Montreal Paper of the 14th ult. mentions the arrival of Sir JAMES KEMPT, with Captain HAMILTON, A.D.C., and suite, on the 13th, from Quebec. Detachments of the Goth, 71st, and 79th Regiments, had also arrived in the steamer from Quebec. These troops Caine by the Nastor transport from Cork to the former city. The number of persons who hare emi grated from the United Kingdom of Great Bri tain, since 1815, to the British provinces in South America, is computed at 350,000. In consequence of the recent intelligence of his MAJESTY having appointed his Excellency Lord DALHOU.SIE to the high dignity of Com mander-in-Chief in India, thus depriving the citizens of Montreal of agai❑ being honoured with his presence, it was proposed to invite him to a public dinner on the 19th, in order to mark the high sense they entertain of his public con duct and private virtues. Jamaica Papers to the 30th May have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The following is the principal intelligence received by them : His Majesty's packet-ship Myrtle was appointed to sail on the 10th June for Falmouth, with a mail. Vice-Ad miral the Hon. C. E. Fleming and lady sailed from Port Royal in his Majesty's ship Barham, on the 2 4 th , for Crooked Island, at which place they will embark on board the Druid for Nassau (New Providence). On the same day his Majesty's ship Valorous, Captain Gossett, sailed for Vera Cruz; on the 28th his Most Christian Majesty's brig Gazelle, Captain Roaaya, arrived from Fort Royal (Martinique), in six days, with despatches ; in coming to anchor she saluted the Magnificent, as well as Fort Charles, from both of which her salutes were returned ; when the Gazelle sailed, a frigate and two corvettes were lying there. These papers, in allusion to emigration to the Island state, we understand it is not the intention of his Majesty's Government to provide for the expence of conveying emi grants to this Island. A mighty boon, however, is to be granted. The local Legislature will be empowered to dispose of such unappropriated land as belongs to, the Crown, or that which has been forfeited for the non-pay ment of quit-rent ; and a measure which was intended to turn the tide of emigration from the United States towards Jamaica, will, we are afraid, fall to the ground for want of that support which we had a right to expect from the Mother Country. The extraordinary and alarming state of Ire land, growing daily more alarming the longer that justice is delayed, must press itself on the consideration of Ministers, and also of Parlia ment. We can no longer palter with the disease which rages in that country. We are on the brinkof a dangerous quarrel with the majority of the Irish people—we have rejected their most just and reasonable petitions, and we affect to wonder that they are discontented, and with their characteristic ardour of temperament betray all the symptoms of violent exasperation. We are no partizans of OCONNELL, nor are we anxious to defend the discretion or expe diency of that bold and daring measure which lie has taken, in the true spirit of an agitator, to harass his opponents. The character of this in dividual, and the course into which he has fear lessly embarked, we hold to be nothing more than the natural symptoms of a deeply looted malady. It is not his conduct, nor the conduct of the Catholic leaders, intemperate though it be, that we consider to be the interesting feature in the political aspect of Ireland—it is the sway which they have obtained over the Catholics, the great majority of the Irish people. We see them raising money, issuing their mandates, organising the whole body of the Catholics into a firm confederacy for their common objects — ruling, controlling, and moulding them to their purposes ; and forming them, under the very eye of the Government, into a separate community. We consider this to be a most alarming, state of things, because it augurs among the people a settled and deep alienation from the legitimate rule of the Government. We here behold the seeds of more matured mischief, if due pre cautions are not in time adopted. The outcry of the intolerant party is for violent measures— they are for keeping down the well grounded dis content of the Irish by a military force ; and we admit that matters are fast verging to this issue, and that we must either do justice to Ireland, or be prepared for the other extremity. But with two such alternatives before us, can we hesitate which to choose ? Shall we quarrel with Ire land in the spirit of pride and injustice? When we may have peace at once by doing justice to the Catholics, shall we rather choose animosity of the worst sort? We act most inconsistently to the Irish people. The reign of George 111. was, for a long period, one continued series of concessions to them. If we distrusted them as enemies we should have granted nothing ; we ought to have kept the captive giant chained down to the floor by the well rivetted fetters of tyranny. rlut we have loosened these chains—we have given freedom to his powerful arm ; and, with singular incon sistency, we take care that it shall be directed against ourselves. We have taken away all re straints, but we insist that he shall still wear the badge of his disgrace, as if we wished that as he has got the power, so he should not want the inclination to hurt us. We ought to have had no friendly connection whatever with a venomous animal which would take the first opportunity to sting us to death. But to arm this animal with its sting, and then to provoke its deadly wrath, what fatuity does this argue ! The privileges which we have given the Ca tholics are quite sufficient for mischief; those that we retain could not render them one whit more formidable to the State, even if they were so disposed. Our system is a wretched com pound of cruelty and weakness, made up, as was well said, of " fair sketches of liberality and fragments of decayed oppression." It has now no object—it is merely calculated to gall, to irri tate, to provoke, and to make the Irish peoples whom we could so easily conciliate into enthu siastic friends, our decided enemies! The Irish cannot be contented until they re ceive full justice. They are encourag e d to per sist in their demands by all the great and leading men of the day, as well as by the "dep ar t e d sp i r it s of the mighty dead ;" and in such circumstances, and with such encouragement, how can w e expect them to be quiet under their oppression ? How can we expect freemen to hug t heir chai ns ; h ow can we expect men of gen i u s, talents, and do quence, to be enamoured of b o ndage ? we call_ not reverse the cour se of nature, and th e eterna l progress of things ; .and we need not expect, therefbre, that matters will grow better in Ire land, but that they will daily grow worse ; until the people are satisfied, and the community Placed on the only basis on which any enlightened community can solidly rest ; namely, an equality of civil privileges.

AMBROSE . MOORE D &C. In this ease, in whichit will be recollected Mr. Agar same few days ago obtained six writs of Habeas Corpus, for the purpose of bringing up the body of a lady of the name of Buxton, Mr. SUGDEN this morning moved for their discharge, upon the ground that the proceedings which had been taken in the Court of King's Bench not being at an end, it was not competent for the parties to apply to another Court. The lady in this. case had been clandestinely mar ried to Mr. Buxton ; and her uncle, who was averse to the match, pursued the fugitives and overtook them at Manchester the day on which the marriage took place, when he immediately forced the lady to return with him, and had ever since kept her in close confinement. The husband applied to the Court of King's Bench for a writ of Habeas Corpus, ordering, the uncle to deliver his wife over to him. Upon the merits of the writ coming on to be discussed on the last day of Term, in the Court of King's Bench, it was ordered to be argued' before a Judge in Chambers ; it was heard before Mr. Justice Littledale, and the rule was ultimately enlarged till the first day of next Term. The young lady was only seventeen years of age, and the only question was, whether the marriage which had taken place was or was not valid. —Mr. Sugden's client disputed its validity. The Learned Counsel trusted the Court would quash all tire writs, with costs. Mr. AGAR opposed the application. After some discussion it was agreed, at the suggestion of his Lordship, that Mr. Buxton should place the parties, with respect to costs, in the 'same situation as if he had sued out the writ in this Court, and that the case, upon the merits, should come on to be argued on Saturday se'nnight. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. THE ARIGNA MINING COMPANY. HITCHINS AND OTHERS V. CLARKE AND OTHERS. The circumstances of this case are already fully before the public. An application was made today for an order to compel Messrs. Power, Surtees, and Dunstan, to pay into Court, each, the sum of 1,047/., being the proportion which they received of 15,000/. It will be remembered that the late Sir William Con greve and the two Messrs. Clarke, were charged with hav ing purchased the Arigna Mines from Mr. Flattery, for 10,0001., whilst they represented to the Company that Mr. Flattery was to receive 25,000/. for them. The 15,000/. of which the Company was thus said to be de frauded, were subsequently divided among Sir William Congreve, the Messrs. Clarke, Messrs. J3rogden, Power, Surtees, Dunstan; and others, and the present application referred to the portions given to the three last named gentlemen. Mr. HORNE appeared in support of the application. Mr. PMI'S and Mr. Prinwroaz opposed the motion, and read passages from the answers of the defendants, stating that they received the money •as a remuneration for their services in forming the Company, and attending to its con cerns. They denied that they knew of the arrangements between Flattery, Sir W. Congreve and the Clarkes, or that they were aware that the 1,017/. forged any part of the 15,000/. said to be fraudulently procured from the Com pany. Tbe defendant Surtem also stated, that half of the 1,0111 paid to him was intended for his brother, who was since dead. The VICE-CHANCELLOR ordered Messrs. Power and Dunstan to pay into Court each 1,0471. and Mr.' Surtees to pay half that amount, as it appeared that tile other half was given to his brother. Mr. Holum stated that he had a similar application against General Maclean, but that upon hearing the former decision of the Court, he had consented of his own accord to pay the money into Court. A Solicitor stated that Mr. Brogden had long since paid his proportion into the bank. The VICE-CHANcELLon said that it was highly credit able to that gentleman. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. 311INDAY V. LANCEFIELD. This was an action for slander. The plaintiff is a carcass salesman in Smithfield market, and the defendant a butcher at Camberwell. A quarrel took place between the parties respecting the price of some meat which the' plaintiff sold to the defendant. The defendant, daring the altercation, took occasion to call . the plaintiff a thief; and he stated broadly that the plaintiff was in the :habit of selling meat sent him by country butchers, and giving his employers credit f,►r lees than he received. The defendant pleaded the general issue, and several special pleas of justification. The 'slanderotis words were distinctly proved, but as the defendant's case involved a question of accounts, after it had 'been three parts gone through Lord TENTMIDLN suggested that the matter could be more advantageously settled out of Court, towhicli the counsel on both sides agreed, and the case was accord ingly referred to a gentleman of the•Bar.' COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. LIBEL.—SoAMES V. KING. This was an action brought to recover compensation in damages for injury sustained by the plaintiff in his cha racter by libels published against him by the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Witiaz and Mr. Sergeant JONES appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant TADDr, with Mr. EVANS, for the defendant. The circumstances were the•c :—The plaintiff and the defendant had been engaged in business together but had quarrelled. The plaintiff subsequently put up as a candi date for an Eldership in the Trinity Howe, and then the following copy of doggrel verses was sent to each of the electors:— BRETHREN.IN TRINITY.

This was one of the libels complained of, for others also had born similarly sent without any signature, and con versations had alas taken pluee, in which the defendant had called the plaintiff a perjured scoundrel , and other epithet equally disreputable and opprobrious. Both parties were merchants in the city, and the defe n dan t used such language as this in places where he knew the plaintiff was known. Several witnesses were then called, who deposed to these conversations, and to the receipt of the letters, and three of them swore that they were in the handwriting of the defendant. . For the defence it was denied that King was either the author or the wri t e r of the letters in question; and that lie knew nothing of them unt il he received one admit the auth ors hi p , an d a l so t h e NrvaltPactras contain e d i n th e l etters ; but this himself by the• post.

SEA WATER PURIFIED AND TASTELESS BY THE ROYAL FILTER. GEO. ROBINS, PATENTEE, No. 69, STRAND• The great desideratum is at length accomplished, a nd that which a few days since was deemed as impracticable, as to find the longitude, and beyond the reach of human art, is attained by the " Royal Filter." If the authority could be questioned on this national and interesting sub ject, we should indeed hesitate before we assisted in giving publicity to this " God-send," but the sanction of the Professor at the head of the London Institution has set the matter at rest. " The saline particles of salt water a re removed effectually by the Royal Filter." The experi ment has been voluntarily made, and the result will be seen by a reference to Mr. Partington's Letter; we have not time to enlarge or animadvert on this extraordinary ac quisition at the present moment, and are content to be the means of drawing the attention of the scientific to those salutary remedies. We shall merely quote the Professor's words, and without commentary :—" I' commence by tilling the upper part of the filter with a‘saturatedsolution of common salt water; this, after passing through the or dinary way, was perfectly tasteless, and of the same specific gravity as common water.' I then made the experiment on salt water, and with the same success," It will be s een the learned Professor then made an experiment on a mixture of alcohol and water, and then with port wine, and in both cases the filter produced a pure and tasteless fluid, without smell, and 'of ,the same specific gravity am water. Its effect upon water impregnated simply with gas is illustrated by 'the highest authorities. We h a ve only to add, with the delight we feel, the extraordinary effect its properties upon salt water must necessarily produce on those who are engaged in the navy. SELECT VESTRIES.

The Consol Market became heavy at the close of yesterday, and the same appearance has characterised the commencement of business this morning, the transactions of which have been more limited for time than usual, but considerable quantities of money stock have made their appearance for sale. Consols opened at 861 a for money, and 88i for account, but this price has not been supported, and they re ceded to 88411-, but are now 88i i; the New Four per Cent. stock is heavy, being 101) s a. A plentiful supply of money in the City caused Exchequer Bills to touch 74 pm. late yesterday afternoon, this morn ing, however, there is a small deduction on the price, and they are 72; Bank Stock has improved to 2101 211 k; India Bonds, 104 5 pm. The Foreign Funds exhibited little interest, ex cept an advance in Portuguese and Brazilian Bonds, upon the former the rise was full three per cent. late yesterday, and the latter 111; this morning these prices are support e d, P or t uguese being 56 ; Bra zilian, 621 3 ; Russian Bonds, 944 5 ; Danish, 62i 624; Buenos Ayres, 44 5. A pretty general opinion seems to be entertained that if Don Pedro means to take any active measures in the present state of Portuguese affairs he will be obliged to put an end, by any sacrifice of his private feelings, to his differences with the Buenos Ayreaus, in a con test which has been hitherto attended with enormous expences and no corresponding result. The next arrivals from Rio de Janeiro are likely to be ex tremely interesting on these points. - In Shares an improvement to 50 2 pm. has taken place in Imperial Brazilian Mines. Three per Cent.

A vessel, which has arrived at a French port from Vera Cruz, brings letters of the 22d May, at which period tbe English packet had arrived out. The Minister of Finance was then in that town. The reports are various on the subject of money being sent. In the mean time, it may be as well to ob serve, that his Majesty's ship Valourous, Captain Gossett, left Kingston (Jamaica), for Vera Cruz, on the 26th of the same month.

Yesterday evening there was • a meeting of Deputies at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, from many of the Parishes of the Metropolis, for the purpose of forming a Society em bracing all the Metropolitan Parishes, in order to make a simultaneous stand against the abuses of Select Vestries, and to oppose the introduction into Parliament next Ses sion of the New Churches Bill. Mr. FENN, of Westminster, was called to the Chair, and explained the object of the meeting. It was highly neces sary that some bond of union should be formed between the several parishes to redress their grievances, and prevent the exaction of money for building new churches. Some of the parishes in the metropolis had already gone into Court to try the merits of the Select Vestries, and many others intended to follow that example. In the course of a long conversation, it appeared that a general wish had been expressed in the parishes of the me• tropolis for the formation of a society having one common object in view. Mr. COGAN said a meeting on this subject had been held last week in that place, when resolutions were adopted, to the effect that as the Chancellor of the Exchequer intended again to introduce the New Churches Bill, efforts be made to oppose it by all . the.parishes, and that an• association should be formed to carry that object into effect, to be called the " Metropolitan . Parochial Association." /te was con• vinced there was a spirit, abroad to oppose the mismanage ment so long endured in parochial affairs. In looking over some old volumes connected with the parish of St. Ann% Holborn, now blessed with a Select Vestry, be found a curious entry. It was in 1695 that the general vestry of that parish last petitioned Parliament against a Select Vestry Bill in'tbat year passing through Parliament It would appear from this that the Select of St. Ann's was a self-forined body, and that, in fact, a general vestry existed in the, parish. It now only remained •to form the con templated Association,and lie moved a resolution to that effect, which was carried unanimously. A General Meeting. of all the parishes of London is. to be' called shortly, the committee in the mean time drawing u p resolut i ons for the approval of. the deputies from the several parishes for the management of the asso ciation. The Chair Man thought the best plan would be for pa rishes under the dominion of select vestries, to do as St• Ann's had done—take the management of their affairs by force into their own hands. • After some conversatioa. relative to the abuses in pa rishes, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meet ing - adjourned. • COURT.

"The Court, taking into its serious consideration the length of the prisoner's service in the army, the high cha racter he has received from the Officers of his regiment , and the readiness and candour with which he came forward to admit his defalcations when questioned by the Com manding Officer, begs leave most humbly to recommend him to his Majesty's clemency." His Majesty has been pleased to approve and cow firma the finding and sentence of the Court. The General Commanding in Chief directs, that the foregoing charge preferred against Paymaster Herman Lott, of the 76th Regiment, together 'with the finding and sentence of the Court, and his Ma' jesty's approval thereof, shall be entered on the Ge neral Order Book, and read at the head of every Regiment in his Majesty's service.
