ing the duties now chargeable upon various vegetable oils extracted from nuts and other fruits, the pro duce of our West India Colonies, and which duties now stood at the rate of 221. per ton, to the same level at least as the duty on palm oil, which was but 8/. a ton. Mr. BENETT thought it would be injudicious, looking to the rapid improvement and great beauty of our own shawl manufacture, to lower at present the duty on Cashmeres. Mr. COURTENAY was happy to inform his Right lion. Friend, Mr. Iluskisson, that it had been already determined to lower the duty en East India rice to one shilling per cent.—(llear.)—Upon the other suggestions he was not yet prepared to speak, but would take them into his immediate con sideration. A clause was then moved, pro forma. The House resumed, the Report was brought up, and ordered to be taken' into further consideration on Monday next CORPORATE FUNDS RILL. Mr. OTWAY CAVE moved that the Report of this Bill be brought up. Lord LoWTHER, Mr. TYLER, Mr. ROBINSON, and other Members opposed the motion, on the ground of the then state of the lim,e. The House divided, when, there not being forty Members present, it adjourned at a Quarter to Two o' Clock. ORITI ES .L," JUNE 30, ISA le Second Reading of Thomson, C. P. Waithman, Ala. Warburton, H.

BUCHAREST, JUNE 7.—The whole of the superior administration in the Principalities isi now exclusively in the hands of the Russians. M. de Stourdza has been appointed President of the Divan at Bucharest, and M. Pisani at Jassy. A central comraittee has been appointed, which is to provide for the main tenance of the Russian army, and is composed of the principal Boyards and Russian functionaries. A very exact lie t has been drawn up of the whole stock both of agricultural produce and of cattle. The sup plies for the magazines of the army will he con siderable. Wallachia is to furnish 250,000 minots of corn, 400,000 loads of hay, and 150,000 gallons cf brandy. Many thousand shoes are no ,v making at Jassy for the oxen, a precaution which cannot have been taken except on account of the stony ,roads of Balkan. VIENNA, JUNE 19.—Field-Marshal de Stretter• Reim has received orders to take the place of Prince Philip of Hesse Homburg during the time that the jitter remains at the - Russian head-quarters. It is r „ pe/ .:_ed that the military governors of Dalmatia and o f t h e pi.7editary Duchy of Austria will retire on a pension. MADRID, JUN't: I6.—The Council of State meet every day, and its siftings are very long. Nothing transpires respecting the subjects discussed in it; however, as regiments are seen marching towards the frontiers of Portugal, it is presumed that the affairs of that kingdom are the subject of the deliberations. It is affirmed that this new army of observation will amount to about 10,000 men ; but is it to support Don Miguel in his projects or only to protect our own country against any invasion This is what cannot yet be said with any degree of certainty. The Government is constantly engaged TJI great reductions in the salaries of civil officers. Several places will be suppressed. Great reforms are also making in the military establishment, and this at a moment which is not very seasonable. TOLOSA, JUNE 18.—In consequence of orders that il:tve arrived from Madrid this very day, all the disposable troops eantoned in this province are to leave it, anal march to the frontiers of Portugal. His Majesty daily receives extraordinary couriers both from Madrid and from foreign countries, and it is observed that the king himself opens the despatches which are addressed to him. TERRIFIC HAIL STORM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —It is hoped the annexed brief account of an extraordinary event, which happened here on Saturday the 21st inst., will be considered of suffi cient importance to merit insertion in your widely circulated Journal. Hanover, June 24, 1828. Z. One of the most awful and calamitous events which it pleases Providence occasionally to inflict on a devoted town and country, befel this city and neighbourhood, on Saturday, the 21 st instant. During the early part of that day, the atmosphere was intensely close, and towards three o'clock the sky began to wear a threatening appearance, and the clouds were observed gradually increasing in the direction of N.W. ; but they were thought to indicate merely a usual summer thunder storm. Judge, however, of the dismay and con sternation with which the inhabitants were seized, when -at about a quarter past three, a hail storm, unequalled by any thing of the kind which has happened here for the last twenty-seven years, broke over the town with such dreadful violence as to threaten destruction to the whole place. the hail atones were as Urge as hen's egg's, of solid ice, we ;g l ling from a quarter to a half-pound, and descended with such force, tbet they even penetrated the roofs of the Douses, an,l completely demolished all the windows facing the direction .from which the storm came, leaving the town after a space often minutes, during which this seem- lasted, like a place recently Bombarded. The damage done to the town alone is estimated at W,OOO dollars: that sustained in the country, by the total destruction of the crope, is incalculable, many of the peasants being totally ruined. Some idea may be formed from the fact, that on the premises ist Mr. Andrew Brown, an English resident, seventy-two gee* were killed, and terious injury d one to his cattle and fruit. We inserted a brief account of this storm on Monday, from the Ramburgh Reporter. ST. LUKE'S, MIDDLESEX.-Yesterday Meeting of the Inhabitants of the above parish was held in the Church, Mr. MottLaNu in the Chair, when the Re port of the Committee relative to the Lite Churchwardens' Accounts was received, and agreed to after a short discus- Lion. A petition also from the Rev. Mr. Eva ssoN (after noon lecturer), praying fir an annual allowance for his services, instead of a voluntary subscription from the in habitants, was negatived. The Meeting then adjourned. • Mr. POOLE, a respectable maltster of Bedford, was on Friday last summoned before a bench of magis trates, to answer to two inforniations charging him with Laving caused two floors of malt to be sprinkled before thr: expiration of 12 'days; but having been proved to be the entire act of the servant, who for the offence had been convicted and sent to 1)6500, the inforniations w , re quashed. LONDON. WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 2, 1828. The Gazette de France of Monday contains no news from the seat of war. The Russians are making daily arrangements for the supply of provisionsfor their immense army ; while at Jassy they are preparing many thousand shoes for fhe oxen, whose feet would be exposed to hardships in the stony roads of the Balkan. The French Papers of Sunday are occupied with articles relative to Portugal', which convey no news later than that already received. The Quotidienne, however, makes up for reality by fictitious accounts, much in the same spirit as its late fabrications. The Constitutionalists, according to this organ of the Ultras, are destroyed, and the Miguelites triumph securely in their own strength. A few hours may, perhaps, furnish us with authentic parti culars direct from this interesting quarter. The arri val of the Constitutional Chiefs at the head of the army would impart decision to their councils, and vigour to their operations. According to accounts from Madrid, the Council of State met daily, and sat long in de liberation. The result was not known, but ru mours Were afloat that an Army of Observation, amounting to 10,000 men, was to be formed on the frontiers of Portugal. After a short discussion last night on the Corporate Funds Bill, the House divided—as wo believe—twenty-five to three in favour of it. These numbers • not being sufficient to consti tute a House, the Bill will have to go through this stage again. Something very like a manceuvre . seems however to have been practised in this instance, several opponent Members having gone away together the moment before the division. It was reported in the City to-day that . Don MIGUEL had declared himself—King,—and was going to frame a Constitution. As his power must be of short duration, it is of little consequence whether he assumes the title of King or not, pro vided he does not commit any further barbarities on the unoffending people. The delay in hearing from Portugal naturally • creates sonic apprehensions for the safety of the Constitutionalists who pro ceeded in the steam-boat to Oporto, or Vigo ; but we hope that as Government had ordered some more of our cruizers t" proceed to that destination, there is little fear of sufficient pro tection being afforded. The steam-boat sailed from Falmouth on the Nth of June, and would in all probability have reached the coast of Portugal about the 20th. Though wishing well to the London Univer sity, we cannot but express great satisfaction at the prosperous progress which the subscriptions and liberal donations to the King's College are daily making. From the spirited manner in which the concern is taken up, we have no doubt that the original sum contemplated of 100,000/. will be soon realized. Among- the subscribers we perceive the names of many liberal patrons of the arts, as well as others distinguished for their rank or wealth. We trust as there is an ample field for the existence of both Seminaries of Learning, that they will regard each other in a frank spirit of rivalry, and be only 'emulous which shall obtain the highest praise by the superior merit of their scholars. '. It affords us sincere satisfaction that another attempt to circumscribe the liberty of the Press, in bringing a trumperyaction for libel against the Morning Herald, has failed, by the plaintiff being obliged to pay his own costa as well as those of the defendant ! The action was evidently brought for the sake of the costs, which the Jury seemed to understand by the immediate return of their verdict. MLA makes the case more striking is the circumstance that the plaintiff; himself an attorney, had brought an action before against the same paper, and got 100/. damages. The parties are now quits, and we trust that the fate of the plaintiff may serve as a useful lesson to libel-mongers. We are astonished that amid all the rage for legislating, not one Member has the courage or sense of justice to bring in a Bill for the amendment of that most odious and oppres sive of all laws—the Law of Libel. If the subject of costs alone were taken into consideration it would greatly tend to check the evil—for what justice can there be in a verdict of one, farthing subjecting the defendant to three hundred pounds expellee ?—And yet how many Attotnies have pocketed that sum in costs for an action of libel, itt which the Jury found that only one farthing' s damage was done to the . character of many a questionable gentleman ? The thing is " too bad," and the practice worse. We shall to-morrow have the proceedings of the first day's Election for the county of Clare. We are happy to understand the report of out rages being committed on the person Of Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD is wholly unfounded. If the Catho lics cannot return their " Champion" but by out raging the common decencies of society they had better desist from the attempt ; but we hope, for the sake cif their own cause, that they %sill con duct themselves in in orderly and becoming manner. That triumph is the noblest which they can contemplate with the purest satisfaction. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, TWELPR o'CLocr We are again without any arrivals of the least po litical importance, and great anxiety is feit in the City for want of information from Portugal. At the commencement of business this morning Con sols appeared very heavy, they left off yesterday at 88; for the account, and opened at 884, sellers, but immediately receded to 88} g, caused by a Stock Exchange report that we were going to send troops to Ireland, as well as the revived report of the doing away with the Sinking Fund; both of the above re ports we may say have not the least foundation, and it is expected that notice will be given on Monday fur the Budget.

The Depot of the 16th, or Bedfordshire Regi ment of Foot, is under orders for immediate em barkation, to join the Service Companies at Bengal. MARCHIONESS OF LONDONDERRY' FETE. The Fancy Ball given by the Marchioness of London derry, at Holderness House, on Monday night, was un questionably the most superb affair of the season. In the first place, as you approached the mansion it gave signs of high revels within, for " every room was blazing with light and braying with minstrelsy." In the next place, there was so dense a crowd of the mobility assembled in the highways and by-ways all around, that the carriages of the nobility had great difficulty in making their way to the grand entrance, though a strong party of police exerted themselves vigorously to facilitate their progress. The vestibule was lined with the servants of the house, in gorgeous liveries—. deep purple, embroidered with silver: In the hall was sta tioned the band of the 10th Hussars, in all their trappings, thundering away with trumpet and trombone. From the hall, the company ascended a double' flight of stairs, be tween columns of highly polished Sienna marble, and white marble vases filled with living. flowers, to the noble quadrangular corridor, with its gilded ballustrade and daz zling chandelier; and from the corridor they were left to wander at will through a suit of seven splendid apartments adorned with statues and picture., and rare articles of vertu, and furniture of high and costly fashion, inter mingled with the choiceAt flowering plants and lights with out number. In the largest and most splendid of these apartments, beneath a crimson canopy, on a crimson-covered dais, stood the Noble Hostess herself, attired as Queen Elizabeth, and surrounded by all the worthies of the maiden reign—or rather, by their worthy representatives, all dressed in the full Court costume of that day. " Her Majesty's" dress, and also most of the dresses of " her Court," were copied minutely from Mr. Bone's historical series of enamel por traits (after the originals lent to him by the different No blemen and gentlemen in whose possession they are) ; and they were most superb. That worn by " her Majesty" was said to be worth mere than a hundred thousand pounds iu brilliants alone ! and many of the dresses of the ladies in her train were proportionately rich. The following were the principal characters, and their respective repre sentatives in this splendid groupe : Queen Elizabeth The Marchioness of Lon donderry. Mary, Queen of Scots Lady Ellenborough. Amy Ronsart, Countess of Leicester Mrs. Arbuthnot. Lady Hunsdou Frances Walsingham, widow of Sir Phillip Sidney, and Countess of Essex Mrs. Lane Fox. Countess of Bedford Countess of Belfast Lady Manners, Countess of Rutland Lady Ann Becket. Lady Sidney, mother of Sir Philip Sidney Marchioness of Salisbury.

Pages to Queen Elizabeth Lady Alexandrina Vane. Captain of the Guards and Beet' Eater I)itto another The Marchioness of Londonderry seemed "every inch a Queen," insomuch, that had the shade of the haughty Elizabeth been there present, it mutt have been graciously pleated to express its approbation. Of the other Noble and gentle personages, and how they acquitted themselves, it is not for us to speak ; but we cannot help thinking that the "Bard of Avon" was somewhat too fat—more fat than bard beseema ; but nevertheless his sad-coloured snit was in admirable keeping. " Her Majesty" having " held a Court"—at which, besides the very ancient and right Noble personages above mentioned, there were present—the present Royal Dukes of Clarence, Cumberland, and Cambridge, and Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg, together with every body else of note in the world (of rank and fashion)—she descended from the dale, and giving her hand to " Philip of Spain," she proceeded to make the grand tour of the rooms in Royal State, followed by all her Court in long and glittering pro cession, and preceded by a band of martial music—trum pets, trombones, and clarions. In this state, " her Majesty" passed from " the throne room," through the statue gallery, round the corridor, descending to the hall by one flight of stairs, and ascending by the other, and so by the corridor again through the entire suite of rooms back to the throne room ; from whence, " after certain ceremonies done," and loyal felici tations received, she retired with the ladies of her train to the boudoir. The throne and all its appendages were then removed, as if by magic, to make additional room for dancing, which had already commenced in the statue gallery ; and the windows were thrown open to give access to the veranda—which had been previously covered with canvas, and filled with the choicest flowers, so as to form a most refreshing conservatory. From this time until nearly two o'clock the company was occupied with the dance and the promenade ; and at two o'clock the Dukes of Clarence, Cumberland, and Cam bridge having taken their leave, " her Majesty," leaning on the arm of Prince Leopold, and attended by " King Philip,' descended in the same state to the banquet laid out in the noble suite of rooms on the ground-floor. Alter which the dance and the promenade were resumed, and it was nearly six o'clock in the morning before the last car riage rolled away from the door. To give a list of the company would exceed our limits— there being nearly six hundred personages present ; neither have we room to describe the infinite variety of costume displayed. We must, therefore, content ourselves, and we hope our fair readers also, with saying that everybody was there. 9. LADY ANN BRUDENELL —(FAncy Dress, as Virgin of the Sou. )--This was one of the most beautiful dresses in the room, and Well became the lovely wearer. A petti coat of fine India mull muslin, over a rich dead white Bros de Naples slip, trimmed at the bottom with &superb border of vandyke gold lama, over which a muslin chemisette tunic, confined round the waist with white satin band, embroidered with gold lama, made iu a very novel style; above which was placed, in the centre of the chest, a sun, embroidered in spangles and dead gold, suspended by a rich gold chain and diamonds from the back of the neck. The sleeves trimmed to Correspond with the costume ; they were so formed as to display the armlets and brace lets, which were of the most costly description. Oki the head was worn a white satin bandeau, embroidered iu gold, with a sun in the centre of the tiara. A long white veil was suspended from the front of the bead, reaching to the ground, trimmed with rich gold lama fringe, and finished with tassels at the end. LADY ELIZAB;TH (A Fancy Turkish Cos tume.) HosouRABLE Miss GRAVF.s.—(A Danish Costume.) Lady Emmeline Manuers, splendidly dressed as Lady Paget ; and in costume, Lady Elizabeth Drummond, as Joan of France; Lady Katherine Manners, Eveliva Be renger ; Lady Adeliza Manners, Genivra ; Hon.

BRUTALITY,._.-.Tl►is week, at St. Merryn, a woman caught a hedge-hog in a field ; she brought it home and actually contrived to 'skin it alive. Aft?r the horrid operation was effected, the wretched animal jumped off the table on which it had been hell by its brutal tormentor, and ran about the room. The female savage attempted to catch it, when the miserable creature seized one of her fin gers between its teeth, and held it so fast that it was killed before it would abandon its hold. During this time, thq tortured animal shrieked so dreadfully, that some persons passing, entered the house, when the horrid scene above described was witnessed,— West Briton. LAW TNLELLICENCE. 7 (THIS DAY). COURT OF KING'S BENCH. WOOLLEY V. BCOVAL 4ND OTMERS. This was an action brought for a young man named Woolley, who is under age, in the name of his next of kin, to recover compensation in damages for a personal injury sustained by him, in conse quence of the falling of a bag of wool from the de fendants' warehouse. It appeared from the statement of Mr. GURNEY, that the plaintiff is the son of a respectable soap boiler, and superintended his father's business. The defendants are the proprietors of Symmond's Wharf, in Tooley-street, and the circumstance which led to this action occurred on the 28th August. The plaintiff was that day at the defendants wharf i su perintending the loading of a cart belonging to his father with tallow, and this business having been finished, he was returning home from the wharf, and as lie was passing the defendants' ware house he was struck by a bag of wool, which was thrown out of a loophole in the defendants' premises. The bag did not strike Mr. Woolley directly,.or in all probability it would have killed him on the spot, but as it was, the blow he received fractured one of his legs in three different places— injured the other leg severely, and bruised the young man's shin in a manner which left little hope that he would ever completely recover from the effects,of the accident. When spoken to on the impropriety of the practice of throwing bags out of their warehouse on a highway without warning, one of the defendants said it was done to save labour and expense. As the defendants, however, to save their own pockets, had pursued a practice of the most dangerous kind, he submitted that 2,0001., which was the amount at which the damages were laid, would not be too great a compensation for the plaintiff to receive for an injury for which no sum could really compensate him. The plaintiff "s case was fully supported by the tes timony of the witnesses. produced, amongst whom were several surgeons, who concurred in the opinion thatthe plaintiff had already suffered much from the effects of the accident, and that he was never likely to recover entirely. Sir JAMES SCARLETT addressed the jury for the defendants. He observed that the feeling of coni passion which was naturally felt on an occasion of this kind had been ingeniously pressed upon, and he could assure the jury that the defendants sympa thised with, and compassionated the sufferings of the plaintiff as much as it was possible for any persons to do. The question, however, was not a question of compassion bat of law, and he submitted that in point of law the defendants would be entitled to a verdict. He proposed to prove that the practice which prevailed at the defendants' warehouse was the common practice at every warehouse in. the city; that the plaintiff had received warning that the bag was about to fall, and that the accident had oc curred through the plaintiff's absurd temerity, and not from any negligence on the part of the defend ants' servants. Several witnesses were examined, and proved that on the day in question, the words, " below, be low," were loudly called out to warn passengers be fore each bag fell. It was also proved that the plaintiff, saw the bag projecting from the loop-hole and made a run, expecting to get past before the bag came to the ground. It appeared ou cross-exa mination, that it was usual to have a person below to warn passengers, but that there was no person so occupied on the day in question. Lord TENTERDEN left the case to the jury, who returned a verdict for the plaintiff.--Damages, 7501. THE IICIWG V. CROCKFORD. There were two indictments standing against the defendant in this case. In the first there was no prosecution, and the defendant was immediately acquitted. The second case was also an indictment for keep ing a gaming -house, anti the Jury, which was' spe cial, being sworn, Lord TENTERDEN turned to the Bar, and in quired whether any person appeared for the pro scution ? No answer having been given, the Jury, under his Lord4iip's direction, immediately returned a ver dict of Not Guilty. Earl Ferrers sat during the morning on the bench with Lord Tenterden, and the body of the Court was filled with persons of celebrity in the sporting world. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. SEAGO V. BARKER. Mr. HurcHlNsoN opened the pleadings. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS stated the case to the Jury. The plaintiff, he said, was a young woman in humble circumstances, but yet of most exemplary conduct, and she brought the present action to recover compensation in damages for a breach of promise of marriage made to her by the defendant. The plaintiff was one of many children, and her father had died in rather embar rassed circumstances. In consequenee of his death, she was obliged to look to her own exertions for a livelihood, and accordingly, though brought up to better expectations, entered the service of a very re spectable gentleman, named Von Daggleson, re , siding at Brixton. This gentleman bekaved to wards her with the greatest kindness, and while he proved to her a most excellent master, he also showed himself a no less kind and sincere friend. In this family she lived when the defend ant became acquainted with her. He was a young man, and carried on business in the neighbourhood HS a butcher. He solicited her consent to receive his addresses, upon which she told him that there were two persons to be consulted,—first, her master, without whose consent he could not come to the house, and next, the best friend she had in the world, her mother. The defendant, in the prosecution of his purpose, honestly expressed, and no doubt also honestly intended, said he had no objec tion to wait upon the master and mother for their approbation. This he accordingly did, and it would be shown to them in evidence, that he re presented himself as in easy circumstances, with a good business, such as would render such a marriage in all human probability very prosperous. The de fendant subsequently told her to give her master notice, as he ought not to be taken unawares, and said, that as her father wzits dead, his father would give her away. The 22dof April was the day appointed for the marriage, but a few days prior to this he abruptly left off his visits, assigning no reason for so doing. and finally refused to fulfil the promise he had made. This was the case he had to lay before the Jury. It was sot, he admitted, one of the grossest de scription, but it was in its effect equally distressing —it was a case of caprice wantonly exercised, and to such a case what answer could he give ? They might perhaps be told that the defendant was in a state of bankruptcy, but that - would not do with them—they would deal fairly and liberally with the plaintiff, and punish the defendant for his conduct, though with that regard to his condition that it might not prove ruinous to him. The Learned Counsel then called the following evidence : Mr. Von Daggleson deposed that he has known the plaintiff for five or six years. She is about 22 years of age ; after the death of her father, who died in embarrassed circumstances, the plaintiff came to re side with him ; in January last the defendant, who is a butcher, applied to witness, and said he was warmly attached to his servant, and be then came for the purpose of asking his approbatiOn to make her his wife. The witness told him that the plaintiff had no property, as her father had died in em barrassed circumstances, but that for his own part he had no objection to the match provided he got the mother's consent also.
