We have also received Paris Papers of Tuesday, and Bayonne, Dutch, and German Journals ; but their contents are altogether unimportant. [From the Etoile of yesterday.] The King heard Mass in his apartments, and afterwards presided at a Council of Ministers. There was the day before yesterday a Council of Ministers at the Marquis Lauriston's, which lasted from three to six o'clock, and it was again renewed yesterday at his Excellency's. They are making the necessary arrangements at the Louvre for the opening of the Sessions ; they are also forming in the Palace a Hall, where the State Council will hold its sittings. We see with great satisfaction that the Madrid Gazette, of the 9th of this month, has exactly translated the observations which we published on the new rupture with the English and the Algerines ; and we have always found that in every country the friends of humanity regretted that Lord Exmouth, in his Expedition in 1815, instead of destroying these brigands, contented himself with a delusive promise which was vio lated the following day. VIENNA, MARCH 7.—The journey of the Em peror and of the Court of Italy is said to be put Qff to the month of September next. There is a great talk of the marriage of an Imperial Prince with the Infante de Luegues Louis de Bourbon, but nothing as yet has transpired on the subject in any authoritative shape. The French Itentes were, on WednesdaY) March 17, for Money, 100 f. 40c.; end of the month, 130 f. 70c. ; Ducats, 894; Spanish, 23. Private Letters say that the Rentes left off at 100 f. 50c. after 'Change. CITY, Twelve o'clock.—Consols opened this morning at 94 Buyers, and soon after went up to 94.11, with a good deal doing. The rise is attri buted to Mr. CANNING'S speech in regard to Spain. Consols are, up to this hour, 94k, and for Money 934-1,-.—This being the day for the payment of 10 per Cent. on Mr. ROTHSCHILD'S New Insurance Company's Shares, his offices are crowded to excess with persons making their payments, and the greater part of the public seem determined to hold their Shares, as there is every prospect that, after the first payment, they will reach 20 per cent. premium. FOREIGN MARKET.-There is some bustle in the above Market this morning, and a good deal of business has been done. The Market opened with the new Insurance Shares, which were done at 15 1 7 but have since lowered a littl e . 2 Our space is so fully occupied, that we can only refer our Readers to the preceding columns for a Report of the interesting debates in Parlia ment last night. We have already stated that BomvAß had succeeded in suppressing the insurrection of RIVA AGUERO, at Truxillo, and taken that Chief and his principal Officers prisoners. This intel ligence is confirmed by the following letter : " LI3IA, DEC. 4.—Since writing you, as per duplicate an nexed, accounts have arrived of IlomvAß having taken ItIVA AGUERO and his principal officers prisoners, at Truxillo : this was facilitated, it seems, by his cavalry having revolted. It is not known what the Libertador will do with him, but it is sup posed that his punishment will be banishment from the State." ViSCOUtIt MELVILLE, we regret to state, con tinues indisposed. Wednesday the Cabinet Ministers dined with the Earl of LIVERPOOL. Yesterday afternoon a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign-office, Downing-street, which was attended by the Earl of HARRowinr, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl of Westmorland, Mr. Secretary Canning, Mr. Secretary Peel, Earl Bathurst, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Sidmouth, Lord Bex ley, Mr. Huskisson, and Mr. Wynn. The Coun -61 sat an hour and a half. THE ALGERlNES.—lntelligence has been re ceived from Carthagena, dated 24th February.-- Two merchant vessels bound to Trieste, have been sent into that port by a British vessel of war, the Captain of which stated there was great danger from the A lgerine cruizers, if they proceeded on their voyage. Several English vessels were in the port, waiting convoy.—We regret to state, a report has been current, that some Algerine cruizers have lauded men in Cata lonia, and committed great excesses.

JEW'S HOSPITAL.—The Anniverary. Festival of this In stitution was celebrated yesterday at the City of London Tavern. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex was in the Chair. There were also present G. Byng, Esq., M.P. ; T. Wilson, Esq., M.P.; Alderman Bridges, M.P. ; Joseph Cohen, Esq. ; J. Van Oven, Esq.; M. A. Goldsmith, Esq. ; Robert Owen, of Lanark, Esq. ; the Deputy Chairman of the a sse m E b a l s a t g l e n o d f i a g. e D n i t r l e e c ni t o e r a n s o ; f the a i i eHebre ,v respectable nnt in n and .A ssnn numerousn as the cloth was removed a long grace was chanted in Hebrew by the reader of the synagogue. " The King," and one or two other toasts, were then drank ; after which the children; both male and female, of the charity, were introduced, the boys carrying chairs, boots, and shoes, and other specimens of their respective workmanship, in their hands. One of the female children, a fine little girl, recited a poetic address in an interesting manner ; and with considerable effect; so much so, that when the Duke of Sussex rose immediately afterwards to address the company, his Royal Highness was so. much overpowered by his feelings, that he burst into tears, and was and whose haed(eixr addresses, Is]. concluded eles n, byt aided singingd e a bythe recommending hf : li ipr: unable to proceed for some time. As soon as he recovered, a a r t io us he entered into a detailed statement of the progress, objects, and other gentleman spoke advantages of the institution, wa it to their warmest support.:;,_hVo. mg effect of raising the amount in the course of the evening, pearance of the children, g l e a rna st tl y fy eF was only 6771., to the Suni of tended professionally all com toßfirnat-ehlpe 2,10-11. The Royal Duke retired, apparently , much fatigued by the exertions he had made, half -past 10 o'clock., ni c 'n o a l pn l collection, t 'tl i l t ul i enc producing egn : tll w hi c h'e°n; MADAME RONZI De BUGNis,The lovers of music will be glad to learn, that this charming ornament of the Italian Opera is now so much recovered from her indi.spo sn as to be likely soon to re sume her pu blic station. The best character for her to perform „ n her re-appearance would, in our opinion, be Elena, in La Donna del Lugo. That cha racter she performed so delightfully as to make it wholly her own. In this part too she would now have the powerful support of GARCIA, and therefore we trust that the interest of the Ma nager will induce him to attend to thi s hint. - F ALSTAF F.—We did on this character, and on the performers who have assumed i t. He stated that in his opinion HEN DERSON and COOKE were our report of Mr. TuEr.witia. not t ll e rn e t c u i r e e t , l s Y observations notice in Point of c r iti ca l acumen . I n this t t h he e l b i e it s t t et re t p h r e es p e r n e t f a e t r i e v h e e s e of in it in hi s time, and he seemed to give respect we differ from 3lr. T., and h aving seen both in the cha rtcter, we may venture to give our own opinion. HENDERSON was not less acute than COOKE, and was much more facetious. HENDERsoN laughed too much through the part, but his laugh was always echoed by the audience, as was the case with Mrs. JORDAN, whose laugh was irresistible, which she knew, and therefore introduced as often as she could find an opportunity. HENDEasox was indeed highly fa cetious, but his _Falstaff had m ore t h e appearance of a humorous old woman than of the other sex. But it was diverting in the highest degtee. COOKE appeared in Fal staff like a sarcastic Old Sharper, and gave no probability to his boast of having associated with John of Gaunt, &c. &c. He perfectly understood the text, but delivered it with surly satire, rather than with the flowin g hilarity of HENDERSON. Mr. THELWALL gave Mr. STr. —PREN KEMBLE credit for a full conception of the character, but considered him as defec tive in humour. Of Mr. DowToN's Falstaff he gave a brief yet favourable notice, but did not touch upon any other living performers of the part. The Green Park, which is rather a marshy soil, is now being drained. This operation, when completed, will be a vast improvement to that quarter. The iron railing of the Duke of YORK'S enlarged garden ground being quite finished, the whole now presents a pleasing view. Among the improvements determined upon at Charing-cross, there is to he a carriage-way through the pas sage which leads into the Park, in Spring Gardens. CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.-At a meeting of the Associ ation, at Dublin, on Saturday, the petition adopted by the ag gregate meeting was finally agreed to, and it was resolved, that Earl Grey, and Henry Brougham, Esq., should be respectfully requested to present it to both Houses of Parliament. RABBIT WITH SA LIE E.—Mr. BATTIER, who lately belonged to the gaudy Regiment of Ca valry, called the 10th Hussars, during the period he was placed in Coventry by that magnanimous body, continued to dine, as usual, at the mess. One day lie directed the servant to take his plate to the Officer who was carving a dish of rabbits, in order to be helped to some of them. The Officer, instead of helping him in the ordinary way, placed an entire rabbit on the plate, saying," The Tenth never carves for Marchant's sons." This was only said to the menial, theOjliccr dared not to say it to Mr. BATTIER, who has since given the 10th Re giment a rabbit with sauce enough, God knows! to help their digestion. Is it not a scandal that holiday soldiers should be thus allowed to insult, covertly, men who, in the field, or out of it, dis plays as much courage as they do themselves ? (Dublin Star ; March 16.) POETRY. TILE OLD MAID'S APPEAL. ( Written by one of the Sisterhood.) Ah ! say, whose th e l ot deem 'd so sad, so forlorn, The multitude doubt if by choice %was e'er borne, s h h Unsolae'd by love-, and unche er 'd by re spect, Scorn thinks it f a ir ga i n —i ts b est refuge neglect a j u t r h s n tasitni name : matronly 'Tis hers, who, grown old in h er own ma id en f ame , gma cf Crime, Asßionnril austsest, stamps isc,ssoenidijneureg tale bearsi b ai.a e deepß o Is it well ? Ask tire floviret that blossoms unseen, If more public, her beauties mor e b r illi an t h a d b een ? Ask the violet borne from her own native glade, If she felt not as fragrant, as fair in the shade ? And Woman ! how oft, unobtrusive and mild, Thy virtues have left thee to fade in the wild ! How oft, when just opening to love's melting beam, The sunshine has passed like a beautiful dream, And prudence, obedience, of maiden-pride told Thy brow to be careless, thy heart to be cold ! l ask not, are our minds, than our scoffers less graced By sense, purity, principle, talent, or taste ; For respecting our virtues, the world's kindness is such, If we have not too little, why, then, we've too much; But if envious, censorious, splenetic, precise, Blame our caste, not our nature, 'tis that makes the vice. No marvel, the youthful and beauteous despise All merit save Love, and all bliss save his sighs; But, unthinking, can you, parents ! darken the shade Foul prejudice throws o'er the name of Old Maid ? Ah ! beware how you teach the young heart to rejoice In the thought to be chosen, whoe'er makes the choice, Since so many the heart-aching torment can tell Of leading fools here, avoid apes in hell ! More blest the Old Maid, if content cheer her state, Than matron neglected, the wealthy and great ; More deserving respect than the querulous wife, Who, exposing, augments wedded folly and strife. May the former rejoice in her. freedom from cares, And the latter adorn the prized title she bears ! UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, MARCH 18.—The Rev. T. T. Harrison, 111.

ALARM OP FIRE AT COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE, —Yesterday evening, just at the conclusion of the first act of the new comedy, the whole house became suddenly convulsed by an alarm of fire smoke was seen issuing from a private box, and Tire greatest confusion prevailed throughout the Theatre, which was fortunately subsided by Mr. FARRIN, who came forward and allayed the commotion by informing the audience that the smoke, which was then seen issuing from a pri vate box, was caused by a fire which had just been lighted in the box, and the chimney smoking was the only cause of the alarm. After this ex planation the audience were appeased, and the play proceeded. Bo w -ST rtE ET .--- ( This Day.)—Eleanor Connor, a dashing cyprian, was put to the bar under the following curious circumstances. The prisoner, last night, went into the house of Mr. Matthew son, of Bow-street, and called for a glass of liquor, at the same time handing over two new silk handkerchiefs to the landlady request ing her to take care of them. Avis and some brother officers happened to go in at the time, and Avis observed a chain round her neck. Suspecting all was not right, he questioned her and eventually found in her bosom a watch, &c. worth at least 70 guineas. On being asked where she got it she said from a Captain Talbot, who had seduced her, but after some time she '' crave so many different statements that the Officers were induced to detai n her. She now refused to state any thing farther than that it was her own, and that she resided in Burnet-street, Westminster. The Magistrate or dered inquiry to be made and detained the prisoner. A treaty, concluded between this country and the Netherlands, regulating some territorial ar rangements in the East Indies, mutually benefi cial in a commercial point of view, was on Wed nesday signed with the accustomed formalities at the Foreign Office.

The Committee, therefore, are of opi nion, that another efFort should be made by an union of all classes interested in the trade, and they do not despair of the Chancellor of the Exchequer agreeing to their proposals.

It was proved, that on the sth of November, the 23d and 28th of January last, respectively, he was seen coursing with grey-hounds at difil!rent places in tlle Isle of Thanet; but there was no proof that on any of those days he had had any success. On the 20th of January it was proved that he was seen with three hares in his possession, which he had killed.
