Their contents are unimportant. - Two packets, which sailed from Dieppe . on IVednesday morning at five o'clock, arrived the same night at Brighton. Amoni, the passengers is an English Gentleman, who had recently come from Havre de Grace. This Gentleman infiirms us, that a very serious disturbance took place at •Havre on Sunday morning. It began in the church at the close of the service, in consequence of the / military, who, were assembled there, hav ing cried out, " Vice l' .nipereur," and of all the civil part of the r.ongregation having answered by a cry of " Vice le Roi." A dreadful conflict en stied, in which fifteen lives are said tp haVe been lost ;- and the military were in the end neaten' and • dispersed. The conscription decreeis followed tip with great rigour, and 'alas misery throughout every part of the country. ,Wc art assured by a Correspondent; on wb9se accuracy we can rely; that not many days ago the white tladeas publicly paraded through the streets of Lille ; and that DROUET, the commander of the fortress, having arrested some of the citizens for crying Vive le Roi, was forced by the apprehension of still greater tumults, to suffer then, to go away unpunished. Similar- scenes are known to Have also taken ;dace at Amiens. The wind has been so. favourable for the last three days, that the principal part of otrr last em barkation of eavaby ate probably by this time safely landed at Ostend. Her Royal Highness the Duchess. of YORK'S birth-thy will be kept on Monday next at Frog more. In addition to the propnsed angmentition of the Royal Staff Corps, whose - services were found so valuable in the Peninsular War, the Duke of WELLINGTON has, we are informed, suggested the formation of a Corps of Pioneers, to be at tached to the Quarter Master General's Depart ment : it is to be formed on the same principle of the Corps of Guides in the French - service, and considerable numbers of the old soldiers of the' Foot Guards, have been already selected as Ser jeant and Corporals ; the utility of such a corps must be apparent. General CAPEL has, it is said, been recommended as Chief Pioneer, with the al lowances of a Major General on the Staff. A dashing half-pay Agent is at present non est inventus, being deficient 10,0001. chiefly the pro-,. petty of Officers received by him upoa their •re.. spective accounts. Mrs. MOUNTAIN'S FAREIVELL.—This Performer, who has so long and so deservedly, been one of the chief Favourites of the Public, t;ok her f . pirewel of the Stage last night, at the KING'S THEATRE. The respect in which her talents' and character are held, was evident in a house crowded to 'such an excess, that almost as many persons were rejected as were able to obtain admission. The dramatic pieces were The Cabinet, The Review, and The. Feast of Apollo, and a grand ballet, supported by all the Operatic dancers, which concluded the whole. In the course, of the evening Mrs. MOUNTAIN delivered, Or rather attempted to, deliver, an Address of respectful gratittide to the Public, for the long and warm patronage which she had experienced-r-her -feelings dur ing the recital powerfully affecting her utter ance.—This Address, as well as the whole of the entertainments, were received with the warmest applause, and she retired, or rather,.. was borne off the stage, in a state of helpless anxiety, amidst the fullest testimony that the oc casion admitted, of public respect and esteem. — The pressure was so great, that much of the iroti railing in the passage to the Pit was broken away, and many persons were iu 'imminent danger for some tittle, but happily no serious accident oc- - curred. CORN EXCHANGE, MAT s.—Our 'Market was but thinly supplied this morning, in consequence of which real fine Wheat fully supported its price, Init ordinary was unsaleable. Fine Barley was in demand, and from Is. to 2s. dearer. Boiling Pease were dull, and,2s. per qUarter cheaper. Oats ' being in demand, have advanced Is. per qtiarter. In other kinds of Grain there was no material al teration. SMITHFIELD, MAY s.—This day's Market Lad a short sup ply of the different kinds of Cattle; Beef, Mutton, and Pork, were cheaper ; Veal was dearer; Lamb sold at last price; and the trade in general was not over brisk. The sales in the Hay-niarket were not lively ; Hay and Clover have dropped in price; Straw fetched last price..

THE numn4E, , AND, LOYAL ADDRESS OF THE ENDERsIGNED LivEnYNIEN OF THE CITY CT LoNDOH. tg 314 it please . yaur Royal Higline,ts, " We, his Majesty's most dutiful and hural subjects - , the un- dersigned Liver'ymen of 'the City of London, feel ourselvr, imperiously called upon to approach your Royal Highness, as the Representative of our venerable and beloved Sovereign for the purpose of terulerihg to your Royal Highness t h e as surances of our affectionate and unalterable attachment to his Majesty, and his_illnstrious house, and of our confidence in the Government at this Momentous crisis. " Deeply sensible of the blessings of peace, and in an es pedal manner taught to appreciate their value bya.n expe rience of the difficulties and hurtlnins necessarily attendant upon a state of protracted - warfare, we hailed, with gratitude, to the Author of evertercy, the late return of Peace, and had indulged the plea g expectation, that the re-establish ment of Legitimate Authority in a neighbouring country, would have insured to Europe a continuance of that tranquil lity, for which, under Providence, she was indebted to the vigour of the Councils and Operations of Great Britain and her Allies. ." Proportionate to the pleasure excited in . iinv minds br the events to which we have alluded, has been the sorrow with which we have been called to co4emplate the disappointment of our fondest hopes, in the recent usurpation of power in France, by an Individual who has ever proved himself the enemy of all legitimate Government—a usurpation founded in a perfidious contempt of the most solemn treaties, aided and supported by treachery and treason, and menacilgin its consequences, the interruption of the repose thus happily attained, and the revival of Jacobinical principles, the fects'of , to; . the last twenty years, , hare proved the scourge of nizn. Amidst CY- feelings occasioned by this sad catastrophe, we have.belield with confidence the.vigorous measures tinder the directions of your Royal klig-huess, have been adopted, at this awful crisis, and we deem it incumbent upon us to express to your Royal Highness our humble hope, that Providence will smile upon such efforts as may be made by your Royal Highness, i❑ conjunetior with leis Nlajesty's Al lies, for the attainment of peace upon a.secure foundation!) " We should ill discharge our duty, either to your Royal Highness, or ourselves, were we not to cypress the grief and indignation with which we havi witnessed the proceed ings Of alaction, who arrogating to them Selves the title of the Liery of London, have abused the privilege of petition. log the Coli:nuns House of Parliament, for the purpose of dealing out falsehood 2nd invective against the Legislature and the Government, a►id giving currency to doctrines tend ing- to depress the spirit of his Majesty's subjects—to lower the national character in the estimation of.

A.—We had heard it reported, that ill hrtilth had suspended, if not impaired the powers of WILKIE'S pencil; -This picture affords abundant proof of the falsity ,of the rumour.' It is one of his finest works,-in composition, colouring, feel ing, and finish. We ate at the same time free to confess, that we would rather be the masters of some of his earlier and even inferior productions, for the story here told is of a nature so distressing that the bare contemplation of it is painful. It may perLapa be deemed somewhat faitidious to make this an objection to an excellent picture, and it will be said that by the same rule, Crucifixions, Transfi gurations, Martyrdoms, &c. must b e li a bl e to utter reprobation. Without entering upon this 'argument at present, we will say; that there are a multitude of considerations which constitute these an entirely different class of pictorial sufferings, from those in which the miseries of common life are transferred to the canvas, 'On the present occasion, the apathy of the-legal myrmidons is admirablYeiintrastql witll .the wretchedness of the unforttrnitee family at - 4 f 4,ie sympathy of friends and neighbours. The person taking 'an laventnry of the furniture is excellently painted ; but, all the figures are of .the highest merit in dispoNi ,tion, expression, and character. 'fl minute parts are transcripts from nature, and over the whole seene_there is an air of truth vrticb must IJe recog nised by every heart, while every eye will do jt.p• tice to the excellent manner in which •it is exe cuted. No. 5 l . The Departure to London.—B. .111 an, R. A. elect.--nother clever Picture of the same school, though inferior to'the preceding. .1t is the story of a young Rustic leaving home, anti is well told in every particular. The packaye of the Bible by his mother, the child offering its nose gay, the tying up of the favourite dog, the ap pearance of the cuaeh in the distance, are all well imagined and characteristically expressed. The colouring - is better than we are in the habit of seeing from Mr. BIRD'S pallet, and the picture is altogether very pleasing and meritorious. No. 266.-41 - dießoy.s.—W. MuittEani.---Treat ing of this class of Paintings, we ought not to omit the notice of Mr. MULREADY'S idle Boys, which affords a very satisfying proof that he is. not an idle Artist. There is as much quiet hu mour in this picture as is compatible with its sim plicity-and truth. The faces of the cfilprits, the nature of their offence and punishment, the " looks askance " of those who are nut impli cated, and the general turn of the incidents, are all pourtrayed' in a style.highly creditable to his talents.

The Aanit-crsary- Dinner of this truly excellent s7,vas at ii mm asons' , Institution T took cD ofurcelace yesterday ICN and Was supported on big ri g lat by-' MaYoa, and on the left by Sir J. C. HIPPESLEY, Sir B. HOBHOUSE, the Hon. Mr. LITTLETON, M. P., T. HARVEY, Esq. At P., G. PHILLIPS, Esq. M. P., JOHN SYMMONS, Esq. and many other respectable characters occupied the cross table.— The Rev. Dr. SYMMONS, and other Literafy Gen tlemen. of well known talents were present. The Duke of KENT, after the removal of the cloth, and after the fine old canon of Non Nobis had been given by SHIELD, INCLEDON, BELLAMY, ELLIOT, and other musical Professors, addressed the com pany, and made a very impressive speech in favour of the Institution, in which he adverted with great feeling to the delicate pride which the objects of it must experience who require its assistance, and also on the liberal delicacy with which its be nevolenceis always administered'. The Duke placed this subjectin a very a fleeting point of view. After the usual toasts, particularly the health of our venerable SOVEREIGN, which was drank in respectful silence, at the request of the Duke, and that of the PRINCE REGENT, as the liberal Patron of the Institution, which was received with enthusiastic applause, the company, for some time, resigned themselves to social enjoyment, agreeably diversified by Glees, Songs, &c. by the same Professors., and Master BARNETT. MAJOR presided at the Pianb-forte. : — In the course of the evening, " the Duke of WEL , LINGTON,"" the Army and Navy," and other gratifying toasts, were given by the several Gen tlemen, and among others " the Lord Mayor," by.the Duke. The LORD MAYOR, in consequence, briefly, but emphatically, expressed his sense of the honour which he received in being the subject of the toast (3given, and in the'.favourable man ner in which it was treated, concluding with a warm euloginw on the Institution. Time health of Mr. DAVID WILLIAMS, the Founder of the So.• day, was then giyeu, and, of course, was warmly received. , • _ _ The only poetical contribution of the day was from Mr. FITZGERALD, who has so long been one of the most able and strenuous supporters of the Institu tion, and who, bydesire of the Duke, recited a long and spirited effusion in a very animated and impres sive manner. -We•have not room for the lir \ i'es, but we may truly say, that they were characterized by loyalty, benevolence, and' patriotism, and were highly applauded. The health of Mr. FITZGERALD was then proposed by the Duke, and most warm ly received. The Du'ke soon resumed the sub ject of the Institution, and-forcibly recommended it to the company ; and Mr. YATES, one of the Treasurers, then gave a, very satisfactsiry state ment of the pecuniary situation of the Fund, and of the benevolent aid which it had extended since the, last Anniversary Meeting. The Duke with drew about ten o'clock, amidst the cheering shouts of the company, who dispersed soon after, having passed a day'animated by every feeling that duel honour to human nature. . MEMORABLE CIRCUMSTANCE. —On Wednesday, May, 3, 1815, Mr. Wkirrune.to did not speak at the House of Commons !—N. B. Mr. WHIT..
