SOLEM OUIS DICERE FALSUM _AUDE.IT LON:DON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY IS`24. We have received the remainder of the Paris Papers of Monday. The Journal des 'Mats contains accounts from Rome to the end of last month, by which it appears that the mortality which has lately prevailed amongst the high authorities of the Catholic Church is not likely soon to stop. Another distinguished Prelate, Cardinal SEYEnOLI, Prodatory to his Holiness, had received the sacrament, and was not expect ed to live. The POPE'S own sister, Countess MONOALLI, was also at the extremity ; and the aged Pontiff, grieving for the dead, trembling for the dying, and deeply shattered by his late at tack, was not expected to survive the objects of his confidence and his love. The intelligence from Madrid in the Etoile comes down to the 3d inst. It re-iterates the as sertion that the long-promised amnesty was at last to be proclaimed in obedience to the " pressing demands" of the French Government. The Swiss Guards formed since the KING'S re turn seem to hare incurred his displeasure. They are, it is said, to be removed, and their place to be filled by twelve thousand Irishmen, who are expected in Spain to form regiments of that na tion as in former times. The Irish have borne so distinguished a part in our long and glorious struggle for the independence and liberties of Spain, that we hope there will not he found among them a volunteer in the cause of dishonour and despotism. Private Letters from Paris state, that the first dispatches have been received from count MA it- CELLUS since his arrrival oit his mission at Madrid, and became the subject of deliberation at an ex traordinary Council of Ministers held on Sunday. The same letters mention the death of A LOSIA DE STOLDERG, the widow of Prince Jitwas STUART, the Pretender, at Florence, on the 29th ult., in the 72d year of her age.

( Court Authentique. ) CITY, Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened th►s morning at 91,1 I, and got up to 1, owing to a, Broker having purchased 100,000/. at 911 for the Account ; but soon after they lowered again to I-. A good deal of business has been doing in the earlier part of the morning, this being the first day for the new Account for the 9th April. Bargains have been done at 92 for the above pe riod. Another Broker has just come into the Mar ket, and sold 100,0001., which has not had much effect, as Consols remain steady at 91+. I do not hear of any Express having arrived from Paris, consequently we are without any news or reports in the City. FOREIGN MARYiT.-- Span►sb Bonds opened at .41.44-, to 24k, with little doinc. To-morrow being Settling Day in the above Stock, most par ties are busy in making up their Accounts. We have given an accurate report of the ex traordinary proceedings yesterday at the East India House. Whatever differences of opinion may exist as to the propriety of the course adopt ed by the CHAIRMAN, there can be but one feeling of satisfaction at the full and unanswer able refutation which has been given to the in famous calumnies affecting the illustrious charac ter of the Marquess of HASTINGS, and which has thus been cleared from even the breath of sus picion, by the honourable perseverance and suc cessful exertions of his friend, Sir J OMEN DOYLE. THE KING. -Yesterday his MAJESTY had a numerous party to dinner, at his Palace at Brighton, previous to his leaving that place. On the evening of this day, the KING is expected to arrive at his Castle at Windsor. Yesterday the Duke of YORK. visited the Princess So emit.. Yesterday Lord Viscount GRANTILLE bad a long interview with Mr. Secretary CANNING. The ATTORNEY and SoLicyroa-GENERAL transacted business yesterday at the Secretary of State's Office for the Colonial Department, where Earl BATltunsT was busily engaged for the whole of the day. Yesterday the Cabinet Ministers dined with the Earl of WFSTMORLAND, at his house in Grosvenor-square, for the first time this season. HORACE TwISS, ESQ.—This Gentleman has been appointed Counsel to the Admiralty, in the room of THOMAS JERVIS, Esq., who is now one of the Puisne Judges of Chester. The LORD CHAMBERLAIN has appointed GEO. COLMAN, Esq. Licenser and Reader of Plays, in the room of the late Mr. LAurENT. This ap pointment is a mark of honour due to the talents and genius of Mr COLMAN. ELLIOTT, the Missionary, who was ordered home from Demerara; is expected by the next vessel. THE THEATRES. DILURY-LANE.—After the comedy of The Ilmocrite, the musical drama of Lodeiska was last, night revived at this Theatre. This piece is the more interesting as it received its English ress from the pen of the late Mr. KEMBLE.— ;onsidering the difficulty of bringing forward a drama that requires so much machinery, and so splendid a catastrophe, the performance of last night was entitled to a lenient and liberal con sideration, and it will doubtless be repeated with success. COVENT-G A IMEN.—The new Onera of Native Lund was repeated last night, and confirmed in public favour by a very numerous audience. MuRDEn at SnoLnEN, near DEAL.—The in quest on the body of Mrs. Marsh, after several days attendance, has closed its proceedings. — We have given the particulars of finding the body already, the state of the house, &c. The follow ing are some further particulars, and the result of the inquest: It appeared from the evidence of se veral of the witnesses, that two persons, answer ing the description of Jas. Clover and J. Shelvy, were near How-wall House, at 11 o'clock on the night of the murder, and which it is necessary to state is situate on the high road between the house of Stephen Shelvy and the cottage of the deceased, and who, both before and after the murder, had been concealed the house of 5. Shelvy for ten successive nights, although both S. Shelvy and his wife distinctly swore that neither of them had seen Joseph Shelvy since the c23d Dec. last, and J. Clover for live years. Notwithstanding which, on their apprehension by Langley, the principal and indefatigable constable of Deal, accompanied by Smith a po lice-officer, a prayer-book was found (which was afterwards sworn to by a young girl, aged 13, who attended occasionally upon Mrs. Marsh), and five buttons, exactly corresponding with the button which had been ingeniously sewed on the hat (which formed the dark !anthem before al luded to) to fasten the door, and two pieces of sack formed to serve the purposes of sandals, and which it seems had been worn by one of the persons concerned in the outrage. The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned the following verdict—“ Wilful murder against James Clover, Joseph Shelvy, and Stephen Shelvy, and against Hester Shelvy, as an acces- ary before the fact," and who were in conse quence committed to Maidstone Gaol on Thurs day the sth inst. The body was found stretched upon the bed with nothing but rags for covering, and with a piece of cloth over her face, which had no doubt been placed there by the murderers, — The room was festooned with cobwebs of im mense magnitude, and hut little blood was disco vered, owing to the age of the victim. SUIPICTED INFANTICTDE.—A young woman, named Alert, living as servant at the Swan with Two Necks, Lad-lane, was on Friday visited by her sister, Elizabeth Alert, who had come out of the country. The two sisters slept in one bed ' end two other maid-servants in another which was in the same room. Elizabeth Alert be came very ill on Saturday, and on Sunday evening she returned into the, country, having previously confessed toMrs. Kingsford, the landlady, that she had miscarried. On Monday morning the chum barmaid, on making the bed in which the stranger had slept, felt something hard, and, on ripping open the sacking, discovered a full-grown female child, much discoloured. —Coroner's Verdict — c , Still born.), SUDDr.I DEATIf.-----Y,st er e ay morning, while Gleed, a Worship-street officer, was passing through Hare-court, Shoreditch, about 10 o'clock he perceived a man sitting on a chair covered with blood. He immediat e ly went up, and, after examining him, found the rival spark had fl e d. He then repaired to the shop of two different surgeons, and not finding them at home, he afterwards met Mr. Lindsay, one of the Guardians of the Poor-House, St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, whom he brought to view the do ceased. A. shutter was then prepared, upon which the body was placed, and was conveyed to the Swan-yard Watch-house, where it now lies for the Coroner's Inquest. The name of the de ceased could not at the time be ascertained, but he bore the appearanc e of a working man ; and from what the officer could collect, coupled with the marks of blood for upwards of 20 yards, it.ap pealed that in a severe fit of coughing he burst a blood-vessel, which caused his death. BOW-STREET.—(TMS DAY.)—C. Godwin, a lad well known as the associate of thieves, was put to the bar, charged with robbing a Gentle man of a valuable silk handkerchief last night in Chancery-lane, near the Six Clerks' Office. The prisoner stoutly denied ever having been in sus. tody before, but that (lid not avail him, and he was fully committed, and the parties bound over to prosecute. The prisoner actually committed the robbery while two persons were looking at him. FURIOUS Rini NG.—(Caution.)—The numerous accidents which daily occur from the very cri minal practice of riding and driving furiously through the streets, call loudly for the inter ference of the police. About twelve o'clock yester day, a man rode furiously up Fleet market, having also a led horse by his side, when he drew near the turning into Snow hill, so far from slackening his pace, he appeared to quicken it ; a lady and a gen tleman, and a child, narrowly escaped being rode over ; the pavement was very damp or "greasy," and so rapidly did he turn the corner, that the feet were liberally swept from under the horse he rode, which in consequence fell upon him ; that which he led passed over his body, trampling him with his four feet. The wretched man was taken up almost lifeless, and appeared to be dreadfully hurt. The horse on which he had vidden remained motionless on the ground for several minutes ; and indeed when he loft the spot, it was imagined that his spine was injured by the fall. On Tuesday, the 10th inst., a General As sembly of the Royal Academy of Arts was held at their apartments in Somerset House, when Mr. JEFFRY WYATT and Mr. GEO. JONES were elected Royal Academicians in the room of JOSEPH NOLLEKENS, Esq. and Sir HENRY RAE BURN) Kilt. deceased. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

M.P. entertained the Duke of Glou cester and a distinguished party at dinner yesterday at his house in Stanhope -street, May-fair. JEWS' FREE SCHOOL.— Yesterday a dinner took place at the London Tavern, to celebrate the anniversary of the foundation of the School for the Education of Poor Chil dren of the Jewish Persuasion, in Bell's-lane, Spitalfields. Having stated the object of the Institution, it is unnecessary tn say that it is deserving of support; but we may be allowed • to add, that it appears to be as well conducted as any society of'' a similar nature in the metropolis. After dinner several children of both sexes were introduced to the company, each of them bore a specimen of his or her proficiency in penmanship, or needlework, and an interesting little boy, about 11 years old, recited some Hebrew verses, expressing the gratitude of himself and his companions to their benevolent patrons. In the course of the evening, Mr. Joseph, who presided, Mr. Van Oven, Mr. Joseph Cohen, and other gentlemen, addressed the assembly in behalf of the institution ' • and we are happy to say, that upwards of 5001. were collected. Mr. Braham was pre sent, and delighted the company by the exercise of his extraor dinary powers. FUNERAL OF THE COUNTESS OF HARRINGTON. This inoruing, at nine o'clock, the remains of this amiable Lady were removed from' the mansion in the Stable-yard, for interment in Westminster Abbey, with much funeral pomp and splendour. The procession was led by seve ral equestrians in deep mourning, with scarfs, and the groom of the chambers mounted, bearing on a crimson cushion the Ducal Coronet ; immediately following him was the hearse and six, followed by four mourning -coaches, and a long line of carriages of the Royal Family and Nobility. The cavalcade proceeded through Pall-mall and Whitehall to the Abbey, where, at the grand entrance, the elders received the coffin which was covered with crimson velvet, and thickly studded with silver gilt nails. The mourners having alighted, proceeded up the grand aisle, and the funeral service having been read, the awful ceremony crod h of wayeryclosed decently by the coffin being lowered into the grave. dressed persoto followed the procession. v i ,f 4 • , ~: - . l '- ..

M A R. YLEBONE-OFFIC E.—Yestv rday Mr...Toseph Wilfred p ar kins appeared on a summons before EDWARD G Eql.f the presiding Magistrate, to answer why he ll ed the t erms and conditions of an order of I b r a r d T not w, fulfill affiliation made on him sonic time during the year 1822, for the maintenance of a bastard child of his, which has become charge able I n t p p a e r rl k n i t i p i s s w w a il s l p b o e h remembered a b by a ble to the paris h of Marylebone. gi s r o l mc namedof o u H r a r n e n a a d h e 71,7. White, as a , the father of her child; and on that recognition being made before the Magistrates at this office, an award of 4shillings per week for the maintenance of the child in the parish workhouse was made against Mr. Parkins. He appealed at the Sessions against the order, but it was confirmed ; and the parochial officers have been twice under the necessity of citing him before the Magistrates to compel him to pay the demand. Mr. Thorpe, the assistant overseer, said, the demand upon the defendant was only 5/. 4s. for the maintenance of child by the parish from April to October last year; the above sum was due upon the order which had been confirmed at Sessions. Mr. GRIFFITHS having examined the order, asked the de fendant why he had not paid it? Mr. Parkins.—Why, Mr. Magistrate, I have offered to pay the money, and I have sent it; and the reason I thus trouble you to-day is, they will not allow me to see the child ; the money was offered them, provided they would show the child ; and I am of opinion, Sir, 1 am entitled to claim the right of seeing this child said to be mine. Very likely it is dead, and I am defrauded of my money. The Magistrate said he did not think that ; but the request was reasonable enough, and he had no doubt he would be al lowed to see the child. Mr. Parkins.—l hope so, Sir; my demand is gentlemanly and fair. You give an order calling on them to Phew me the child, and I have no doubt it will be attended to. The Magistrate said such orders were not given, but he would ask the overseer when he had seen the child. Mr. Thorpe.—l saw the infant not two hours since. Magistrate.—ls it the same that was produced here ? Mr. Thorpe.—lt is the same child born in our parish, the mother being Hannah White, who has given up the defendant as the father : it is the same child that was made the subject of appeal. Mr. Parkins.—Very well; I wish to see this child; it may not be the same that was here formerly. I think it necessary to state, I have not seen it since. The Magistrate.—Well, Sir, you perceive the man swears to having seen the child, and that is quite sufficient. We have proof it is alive now, and indeed this demand is only for some months during last year : you assuredly cannot require any more. Mr. Thorpe—lf your worship pleases to give an order calling on me to produce the child, I will do so in ten. minutes; but I beg leave to say, I cannot produce the child to the defendant without a magistrate's order. Mr. Parkins—Do you see, Sir, this trick ? and as I require to see the child, give him an order to produce it. Magistrate—l cannot do any such thing, and you are very well aware of that. Mr. Parkins.—Well, Sir, I must pay the money ; but I am surprised you will not give me an order to see the child. Ile then paid 51. 98. being the award and costs, and with his clerk and a young gentleman retired. BOXERS. THE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP. The following is a copy of the agreement entered into by a sporting gentleman in favour of Spring:— Mr. --- agrees to back Thomas Spring against John Langan, to fight in a 24 feet boaded stage, 6 feet in height from the ground, for 500 pounds a-side. One hundred a-side to be made good on Monday the 16th February, at Mr. Thos. Beicher's." Monday next being the time appointed to make good the one hundred a-side, both the candidates for the championship will pay their respects to their friends. Langan, immediately after the conclusion of his engagement at the Surrey theatre, on Saturday, will leave town to go in training. A FIGHT AT MOULSET HURST. A fight took place yesterday at the above place between Maurice Delay and White-headed Bob. It lasted only forty two minutes, during which time twenty-seven rounds were fought. Delay then gave in, to the great joy of Bob, who had himself also become so much exhausted as to be incapable I of much further exertion. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCII.—(Tins DAY.) CRIMINAL INFORMATION against THE BRITISIf PREss and BRITISH TRAVELLER. On an application made by the Attorney- General on Monday, for a criminal information against the above-named newspapers, for a libel on Mr. Chetwyn, M. P. for Stafford, and also a Magistrate for that county, a rule to shew cause was obtained. This day Mr. SCARLETT, for The BriHsi& Press, moved the Court to permit the rule to stand over till next Term, on the ground that they had not had time to collect the necessary affidavits in re ply. Mr. BitouGnAm, for the British Traz,dler, made a similar motion, and on the same grounds. No opposition being made by the Attorney General, the Court at once acceded to the. request. [PROCEEDINGS OF YESTERDAY.] THE KING, ON THE PROSECUTION OF LORD GEORGE SE T3lol_lll V. JOHN CORRT. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL renewed his motion, .made yesterday, for judgment on the defendant,who pleaded "guilty". to an information, charging him with a libel on Lord George Seymour, one ()this Majesty's Commissioners of Excise. Al - lid:wits were put in on the part of the prosecution, And o r the defendant. The former set forth the libel, which imptrted to Lord George Seymour, that he had borrowed money 'front ink- , rior officers and abused his trust, and denied that he had giien any particular directions to seize a quantity. of malt at the defendant's premises. The latter stated that the defendant was misled by the representations of others, at a moment When his feelings were irritated by a seizure made, as he believed,. by • the orderS of the prosecutor; that a man named Willey 'had frequently made such charges ; that as soon as the defendant was undeceived, he expressed his contrition, and offered to re tract his assertions ; and that he was very poor, with a wife and • seven children dependent on him for support. The ATTORNE Y-GENERAL briefly pointed out the nature and object of the libel the view of the Court. The defendant, in a short address, expressed his contrition, and hoped that his poverty and distress would operate in miti gation of the sentence. Mr. Justice BAYLEY, after animadverting on the serious caFt of the offence, and giving the defendant credit for his subse quent behaviour, passed sentence—that he should be imprisoned in the King's Bench for one month, and give security for his good behaviour for three years. LORD BYRON'S VISION' OF JUDGMENT. THE ICING V. JOHN HUNT. Mr. Apcnritus, at a late hour in the day, moved for the judgment of the Court on the defendant, found guilty of pub lishing a seditious libel, &c. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said it was impossible at that time of day to bring on the matter. His Lordship also observ cd—" I think it had better stand over for next Term." Mr. SCARLETT, on behalf of Mr. Hunt, said he should not object to that course of proceeding. Mr. ADOLPHUS assured the Court that he had been most anyous to get judgment without delay. lie had attended day after day, and he was desirous the cause should be disposed of: at the same time, if an affidavit were read so induce the Cot= to allow it to stand over, he should be satisfied. The defend ant for such indulgence would, however, be required to enter into recognizance not to publish any comments relating to the The Loup CHIEF JUSTICE—That is not too much to re quire. 11r. Hunt will attend to-morrow, and perhaps not object to the proposal. Mr. (...ARLETT—If Mr. Hunt will follow my suggestion he will abstain from all comment on the subject. Mr. A DOLPitus—lf he enters into his recognizance on that point it is all I require. CRIMINAL INFORMATIONS. THE KING v. sKETCRLEY. Mr. BROUGHAM said he was prepared with his afiidu•.i: amended (by Mr. W. Cobbett), in support of the motion he made yesterday for a criminal information against the de fendant, on the ground that he had not put up a board with tolls, and had otherwise neglected his duty as a Trustee of Kensington Toll-gate. The LOUD CHIEF JUSTICE—You did not state that the person against whom you moved had omitted to put up the board from a corrupt motive. Does the affidavit now impute a corrupt motive ?
