Evidence has now been obtained which throws im portant and strong light as to the fate of this gentle man. Our readers will recollect that he left Brill, on his way for Bicester, which place he did not reach, in the early part, about the. Ist, of October, 1841. He represented the house of Broomhead, sickle and reap ing-hook manufacturer, Ridgway, near Sheffield. Several days after he left Brill information was given by a young man of the name of Penn, that the body had been found in the river Ray, near Blackthorn. it was removed to Arncott, a Coroner's inquisition held, and a verdict of " Found Drowned " returned. Only five sovereigns, with some silver, and his books of ac count were ibund on him. His watch and monies, amounting to between three and fear hundred pounds, were- missin. Evidence was obtained, and three persons, Ezekiel Savage and two brothers of the name, of Penn (one of whom gave the report of the finding ofthe body), were apprehended. The Penns were sons-in-law of Savi , ge That Mr. B room h ea d h ad come to an untimely end. -no. doubt was entertained—that he had been murdered was the general b e li e f. Th e parties were to have taken • their trials for the robbery at the March Assizes, at Oxford, in 1842. O ne o f the most material -wit nesses for the prosecution, at the time of the trial, was ill, a certificate to that e ff ec t was produced, and the bill against the parties was thrown out. Subsequent circumstances tended still more strongly to lead to the supposition that Mr. Wm. Broomhead had been a murdestd man. Of course, on the bill being thrown out, Savage and the two Penns were released. On Saturday last, Inspector J. Molton, of the city of Oxford Police, received information in Oxford (-)* the most valuable description. The witness was taken before the Magistrates, and privately examined, at the County Hall: from this evidence warrants weregranted • against Thomas Colliss of Aston, near Bampton, Oxon' • and Ezekiel Savage (who had been before in custody on the charge). Savage was apprehended at Black thorn, by Goble, one of the Bicester constabulary. Colliss was apprehended by Inspector Melton at Aston. On Sunday the prisoners were examined at .Merton College, before Dr. Marsham, and remanded till Monday morning. A warrant was also issued for the apprehension of a third party. On Mon day the men were again remanded till Saturday next. The evidence already obtained leaves no doubt As to Mr. Broomhead's. fate ; that evidence it would not be prudent to give in the present state of the proceedings. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The notice that was taken by General CASs, and other persons high in authority in the United States, of the suggestion thrown out in The Sun, to embark an officer of the United States navy in each of our cmisers employed to suppress the slave trade, co ntributed, we . have good reason to believe, to that arrangement which has been adopted in the treaty to carry on the right of search for th e prevention of the .slave trade, without violatini: the dignity of the United States. At the same •time, %re persist in cur opinion that the arrange m c ntactually adopted is not su good as the one we vcommended. By our plan, an American officer would always have been present whenever an American ship was brought to by an English me :u-of-war, and she would have been examined by an American authority. By the arrangetm!iit of the treaty, it will not be possible for an A merican ship of war to be always in company • with an English man-of-war; and either every American ship with which an English man-of-w; tr, when alone, falls in will be exposed to the same visitation as before, or she will go unvisitei I, and we shall have the mortilying conviction -1 hat our arma ments are maintained, at a great •expense of life and treasure, for no good purpote, on the coast of Africa. We must rely exelu t;ively on Ame rican men-of-war stopping the slave traffic, when carried on by American ships, w Lich we believe cannot, and will not, .be stop ped by them. What the " diplomatic device" • was which pre vented even Lord ASHBURTON from adopting the safe, economic, and cheap mi •thod of insur- ing - the visitation of every Americ an vessel our cruisers might fall in with, whi ch we recom mended, we are not aware; but we presume that it was one of those old, nonsensical customs, derived from feudal times and mi:; understood in ternational law, which are contin t tally set up by politicians as barriers against the 1 r:,•ogress of rea s•m and justice. Though our sug ;action was not followed, and a much worse p 1 an adopted, we have still the satisfaction to belie re that it was of service; and so believing, we - 111111 now again advert to the right of search to enforce the system of impressment, in the hope that we may contribute to put an end t o that practice, and so remo - , e another Wostacle • to the continu ance of peace between the two n. ations. Our allu ,lon to the subject on 3 "vionday, found an eloquent echo in the Time of yesterday. Our Contemporary, some porti of '. of whose re marks we extracted in another pi rt of our jour nal, took some pains to point out t he evils of our system of impressment, and of tile :right of search which grows out of it, and out of it alone. "Mr. Webster," says our Cont .roporary, "is certainly right in contending that t he evils of the system of impressment, as prac, lised by this country in former wars, are greatly enhanced when it is attempted to enforce its 0 Aerations be yond the natural limits of the territ c iry and juris diction of England and her depend .3 neies." The practice at home has no thing what ever in its favour "for it is tic t (says the Times) any regular or indefeLsi .ble part of the law or constitution of t h is country ; it is an extraordinary power, exercised by virtue of impress warrants froi a the Admi ralty, under a commission, W hi c h . tlai Crown is, by long-established custom, eraP ovfer e d by the Mutiny Act to grant." We try it, however, by that gr, 2at principle for which Kings are indebted for their power and Governments for their rights—the benefit of the nation; and we affirm, fearing no contradiction, that impressment is as injurious to the nation as it is unjust to the seamen. It drivesrthe very men from the service who are most needed, in all times the. seamen have, in consequence of impressment, shunned men-of-war. Formerly they tied in shoals to Holland, now they go to the United States, to avoid impressment. At the same time it impedes the rest of the population from going freely on the ocean. It invests men , of-war and merchant ships with an atmosphere of horror, which does not properly belong to them. Sea-going is a glad and a healthy occu pation; it should be the delight of our maritime population; but the unjust decrees of most igno rant Admiralties have actually made it the bu 4.- bear of the people. The " press-gang" terrifies children, and mothers would rather breed up their boys to be starveling weavers than bold sailors. At the very moment when the services of our seamen are most wanted, impressment estranges their hearts from their country, and employs quite as many, or rather more, men to guard those whom it steals than it obtains. Its cost for guards, guard-ships, press-gangs, use less officers, Sze., would man the navy over and over again. We say nothing of the many valu able lives and valuable ships it has sacrificed ; but without including them, and without includ ing- the vast expense of one war which it has already provoked, we affirm that a more costly, as well as a more cruel contrivance, than that of impressment, never disgraced any country. All these, and a score more, noxious qualities, have been demonstrated over and over again; and the Admiralty and the nation will be without the shadow of an excuse if they ever again practise, or allow to be practised, this most deplorable public crime. The Times entertains some si milar opinions : It rests entirely with the Executive Government for the time being to exert or to leave dormant that power ; for although the law, and ancient custom still more than law, have given a colour of right to this exercise of force on the personal services of a portion of the Queen's subjects, it cannot be doubted that no thing but the most imperious necessity would induce the Admiralty to revive a practice so adverse to the general principles of British liberty. * * There is, we believe, a strong probability that in the event of a war no instructions for the impressment of British seamen found in American merchant ves sels will be issued to our cruisers. The right is doubtful, the inexpediency of such a practice certain ; nor can it be necessary for the British navy to recruit its forces by such means. It might, therefore, be pos sible to accede to a declaration to this effect, and to renounce a practice which it is not intended to revive. But, as we hare already said, the evils of impress ment are not confined to this particular application of it ; and it can scarcely be doubted that the most fitting and dignified mode of removing the apprehen sions entertained on the subject by certain foreign Powers, would be to adopt some genera l measure for the entire abolition of arbitrary impressment both at home abroad. We are persuaded that it would con duce to the dignity of the country, the security of a large and useful class of men, as well as the mainte nance of amicable relations with foreign countries, if it was distinctly intimated that the levies of seamen for her Majesty's ships will ever hereafter be con ducted on settled principles, and not assisted by vio lence or fraud. It not being intended—it being, as we believe, impossible—again to call this practice into opera tion, we agree with the Times, " that a declara tion" to this effect ought to be made. We agree with it in saying that "it would conduce to the dignity of the country and the security of a large and useful class of men, if it was distinctly inti mated that the levies of seamen will ever here after be conducted on settled principles, and not assisted by violence and fraud." 'We go further; we say that a solemn repudiation on the part of the Government of any right, or any claim, to seize the seamen to serve on board men-of-war, is due to them; we say that such a solemn repu diation of a scandalous injustice would be of great public advantage—that it would restore both our mercantile and our Royal marine to that estima tion they ought to hold in the minds of the com mon people—that it would secure the services of a greater number and a better description of per sons for our ships, as well as improve the mo rality of all the sea-going classes, by removing one great injustice from amongst them which vitiates them all ; and the same disclaimer which would be an act of justice to the seamen -could remove for ever one cause of contention with the United States. We join with the Times in call ing for a public and au thorised declaration against the revival of impressment. The whole practice rests on a false basis. It assumes that man is made for government, and not government for man. It claims, therefore, for the Government a property in the limbs and lives of seamen, and asserts that whenever the Government requires their services it may ap propriate them. Do not let us, however, deceive ourselves by an abstract term ; the word Go vernment means, ut one time, a great feudatory, surrounded by lesser feudatories ; at another time, it means a King; again, it means a mock Sovereign, whose power is usurped by a selfish, money-loving aristocracy; and this doctrine of the State, or Government, having a right to the services of the seamen, is nothing more than the assertion that the seamen are the personal slaves of these great feudatories, of Kings, or of venal aristocracies. The practice of impressment and its asserted consequence, the right of the Govern ment to seize a British seaman whenever it wants his services, and wherever he may be found—as on board American ships, for which we have waged war with the United States—is a deduction from the ancient, and, in most cases, obsolete condition of personal slavery, and ought to be solemnly condemned by all free men, as they condemn the negro slavery of the United States. The legal assertion that a man cannot throw off his allegiance to the Sovereign or Government under whom he was born, on which some persons justify the right of searching American vessels for British sea men, is a deduction from the same con dition, and is continually and practically contra dicted. The State makes no claim on the ser vices of the thousands of its natural born sub jects, except they be. seamen, who seek their fortunes in other States; it is glad to get rid of them; and the legal dictum that a man can not throw off his allegiance, is equally false in fact, 'and unjustifiable in theory. Men establish Government for their benefit, and whenever it ceases to answer that purpose, they may leave it or dismiss it. The contrary doctrine sets up as an idol the work of man's hands, and superstitiously calls on him, mostderogaturily, to bow down before the gclden image " he himself has fashioned." must and tie say forl their I representatives,e • ed ito t e countythat theycon stituencies a 2 •e ‘Ve making the best of w h a t they consider their bad bargain. They assert that PEEL has betrayed them, but they rejoin the Whigs had made a great alteration unavoidable. He has, contrary to his pledges, lowered their protection, but they console themselves by saying he has put a stop to frauds in the averages, and ruined the specu lators in grain. So said Sir JORN TYRELL at the meeting of the Hinckford Agricultural Club, on Friday last, where the would-be witty Baronet endeavoured, as well as lie could, to defend both himself and Sir R. PEEL. His most effectual means was by diverting attention from Sir Ho- BERT to the Whigs and the Anti-Corn-law League. He raised two enormous giants, which seemed quite terrific to the Essex farmers, and then he and they were glad of the aid of Sir ROBERT on any terms to slay them. He did not like the Corn-law, and he did not like the Tariff; but then the Duke of WELLINGTON supported PEEL, and he would never " give hic countenance to a Government which was not of a friendly cha racter to the ngriculturi.sts." Like the other county Members, Sir JOHN TYRELL . supports Sir ROBERT PEEL because be cannot help himself; and if Sir ROBERT does not carry out the principles he has advocated of buying at the cheapest market, it will be his own fault, for, do what he may, the county Members will not oppose him. Sir JOHN'S de scription of foreign cattle and sheep, must have been hizhly amusing and flattering to his agri cultural hearers, and therefore we copy it : I know it is a fact that some of thos3 who have im ported cattle have lost by them. I know that an in dividual lost 80/. on the importation of 40 oxen ; and a gentleman of contrary politic: to myself told me, in corning down by the railroad the other day, that he went into Smithfield market, and the salesman de clared to him that the loss on the foreign beasts he had sold was 2/. per head. I have had a letter from my brother-in-law, who is at Ramsgate, and he de clares that they had fears on the Corn-law, but none on the Tariff, for the Tariff would only lower meat a halfpenny per lb. I know what the victualling of Lord Ashburton's ship was at New York ; and I know what the price of American meat is, and my fears are on that part of it. I appeal to the agri culturists, and I think they will do me the justice to say there was no man who was a grazier for the last four or five years, who had made any profit. You all cried out that nothing could be worse. I know it from experience—l know that my friend on my right declared that nothing on earth should induce him to give the price for bullocks that he had done ; but I goinr , to Brentwood fair to-morrow morning to buy bullocks, and we know the Seotchman says, that " doming" Sir R. Peel is necessary to buying bullocks well.—(Cheers and laughter.) Then as to fo reign sheep; those who have seen foreign sheep. hung up know that they more resemble a dead dog than anything else, and in many instances you could hold up the sheep to the candle, and read the news paper without its in the slightest degree hindering the light.—(Laughter.) Then as to meat. The lash may have touched you in many points, but it is like the lad who was driving a bad horse—his master was going to hit him over the ears, but he said " don't do that—don't hit him over the ears—save the ears for the gravel."—(Laughter.) Feeling, as I conscien tiously do, that the Government is a friendly Govern ment, and desirous of doing the best it can for the in terests of agriculture, I believe that the alteration of the Corn-laws has not diminished or injured your in terests. As the alteration of the Corn-laws has not injured the agriculturists, and as Sir RIIBERT PEEL says that alteration is a great advantage to the rest of the co m m un ity, h e may b e i nc li ne d, under Sir JOHN TYRELL'S assurance, to confer still greater advantages on it, by putting an end to the Corn-law. The confidence of the agricul turists, and the demands of the manufacturers, constitute together a persuasive power, which no Minister can well resist. He is sure of the farmers' friends, and if he can gain the manufac turers, he may reign for life. The vast beneficial results that to a certainty might be obtained by a vigorous prosecution of the war in China, form a striking contrast to the weak, vacillating, and sluggish system so long pursued by the British Government in that quar ter. Had the commanders of the naval and military forces been supplied with the means (and this migh t have been done at one-tenth of the expense incurred in other regions), England at this mo ment would have been in possession of some of the finest tracts along the Chinese coast, and as many of the rich islands in the Eastern Sea as she chose to occupy. War, too, can be carried on there with little loss of life, the Chinese Government and army, which hardly de serves the name, only are hostile; and the people, from the concurrent testimony of wit nesses, would as gladly be placed under the do minion of ,England as remain in their present condition. It would thus be easy to carry on a most extensive trade with the large towns on the mainland, and establish commercial relations also with the populous islands scattered through that extensive sea. Results like these would not only benefit England ; the Chinese themselves would soon feel the advantages, and every trading community in Europe would tome in for a share of the profitable commerce. In place, however, of taking steps to a ccomplish such a nobl e undertak ing, the Government is crippling our resources in China by collecting large forces at the extremity of our Indian possessions, for what object no one can tell, and at the same time keeps some sixteen regiments in Canada to watch the movements of Mr. LAFONTAINE and Mr. BALDWIN. What is Canada to us compared with rich settlements in the East, and what benefit could we confer on her population, which could at all come into competition with the blessings which England might be the means of introducing among the heathen nations in Asia? It is amostruinouspolicy to retain Canad a by f orce . If the people cannot be reconciled to the domi ' nion of the mother country ; it troops are to be constantly quartered in the British North Ame rican provinces ; and England, too, is to be taxed for making roads, and canals, and other improvements, which benefit chiefly the Ca nadians, and will one day become their property, it would be better to come to an un derstandingwith the Provincial Parli amen t a t once. As affairs are managed at p resen t Eng land "pays too much for he r whi s tl e ," an d t h e misfortune is, that she will have to pay every year more as the colony becomes more powerful, till the time arrives when a tremendous struggle is made for inde and this co un t r y mus t y i e ld w i t h a or obtain victo r y a t a f ear f u l expense, b p a e d nd g e r n a c c e e , The trade with the United States has increased tenfolds ince the separation, which cost England so much ; and we see no reason why Canada, when left to her own exertions, and un shackled by Parliathentary restrictions, should nct imitate the example. We trust, therefore, that these subjects will be taken up by some influential Member next session, and also that Parliament will urge on the Govern. meat to display something. like energy in a war, which could easily be brought to a speedy and satisfactory conclusion, and which, if properly conducted, might be the means of bringing within the pale of civilised society three hundred millions °four fellow-creatures. At a meeting of the inhabitants of Lambeth and the neighbouring parishes, held on Monday evening, at the White Hart-tavern, Kennington cross, " for the purpose of taking into considera tion"—as the circular convening the meeting states•—" the conduct of the Lambeth and Vauxhall Water Companies, in raising their rates for the supply of that necessary article of consumption, from thirty to fifty, and even one hundred and fifty per cent. without any justification for so doing"—at this meeting the conduct of the district Water Companies in so acting, was commented on in deserved terms of reprehension; and one speaker observed that it was evident from their sudden and unjustifiable raising of the rates, that both Companies had formed a coalition. If this really be the case, and the two Companies in question persist in re fusing to give any explanations respecting their extraordinary proceedings, it is full time that they should be brought to book, and their at tempts at monopoly be resisted to the utmost. Possibly, the project—which it seems is seriously entertained in the parish—of starting a new Company, with a view to supply the inhabitants with cheap and wholesome water, may have the effect of bringing the existing Companies to their senses. Madrid papers to the 9th have been received. It appears that the Government are actively engaged in realising money by the sale of na.. tioual property, and have issued an order ad. dressed to the Intendants of Provinces, enjoining them to proceed immediately to the valuation and advertisement for sale of all national pro perty in their respective districts, whether pro posals have been made for the lots to be sold or not. In case of want of zeal or of ability on the part of the Intendants, the Superior Junta, esta blished for the management of the sale of the national property, are a uthorised to appoint Special l,ern meilt intoCommissionersspeedytoeffccaciryt7 the Intendants the orders of Go and their dependents being bound to give these Commissioners access to all documents, and fur nish them with all information required. The favourable state of the French revenue, as exhibited in the returns published in The Sun yesterday, supplies the leading topics for discus sion in the Paris papers of Sunday. The increase during the first nine months of the year 1842, as compared with the receipts for the same period in the year 1811, amounts to 25,370,000 francs, or b o o ie u r fi s n t a h n a c t e s i t o a f ff t o h r a d t s c o u u s about 1,000,0001.; and we can assure our nei;;li ngtrry in such a prosperouseat satisfaction to see condition. Independent of the security which finances and increasing trade in France to the peace of Europe, it is a matter of congratulation, and must afford satisfac tion to every well-regulated mind, to know that the condition of the people is daily improving, and that they are thereby enabled to contribute to the revenue, in one year, not less than a mil lion and a quarter sterling more than they did on the preceding year. Should not this convince them of the blessings of peace, and put to shame the writers in the National and the Constitu tionnel, and the war, faction, who would throw the world into confusion, and to a certainty destroy the trade of France from an absurd hatred to this country? Much, however, yet remains to be done for their trade and manufac tures, for in several districts, according to these papers, great distress prevails. The manufacturing classes in Lyons are in a deplorable state few orders are received, and the sales are made at such a loss, that this season is considered the worst that has been experienced for many years. At St. Etienne trade is very dull, and the mar kets in general fuel the depression. The Journal des Delats, a Ministerial paper, thus draws the contrast between the finances of this country and France : " The amount of the indirect taxation has attained in the present returns a higher one than at any pre vious period, and the details are as satisfactory as the ensemble, as the increase has been on articles con sumed by the poorer classes of society. Native, or beet-root sugar, had increased thirty-three per cent., and colonial eight per cent., whilst the Customs had progressed eleven per cent., stamp duty six per cent., potable liquors four per cent. Such are the results at which all good citizens must rejoice, and which the Government may present with satisfaction to its foreign or domestic foes—facts which triumphantly refute idle declamation. They are the more satis factory, and display our strength, as the increase has not been obtained from any extraordinary system of taxation, and in despite of considerable reductions in our Custom-house tariff, and on almost all the direct taxes. Whilst we behold a neighbouring country making heroic, but, unfortunately, unproductive exer tions. to prevent a crisis which all Sir R. Peel's talent seems unable to keep off, France, notwithstanding the cruel circumstances which have so tried her, but strong in that salutary activity which is inspired by a sincerely free Government, continues to enjoy the development of riches and prosperity unknown till this day." The negotiations for a new commercial treaty with Belgium still occupy the public mind at Paris. On this subject the Constitutionnel makes the following' remarks, which are per fectly just as regards England : We can very well understand that Belgium anxi ously desires to extend her commercial relations with France, and that her manufacturers seek in our markets outlets for their productions, which other countries do not offer them. It must be confessed, however, that Belgium has not encouraged France in the road of concession on which she had entered. Both in a commercial and political point of view, the proceedings of Belgium towards us give rise to severe remarks. We have long since known that gratitude is not a virtue for which the Belgians are famed, but at least it would be supposed that they would have some feeling for their present and future situation, as they must well know that without the support of France the existence of Belgium as a nation would be but insecure, and that with us alone could she find real and durable resources for her foreign commerce. If France, therefore, should close her gates to her productions, Belgium must be ex posed to inevitable ruin. The special trade of Bel gium, imports and exports combined, with foreign countries in 1834, was 300,000,000 f. ; in 1841 it amounted to 363,000,000 E In the first of these amounts France alone figured to the extent of 92,000,000 E, and in the latter of 107,000,0001. The importation into France of Belgian linens amounted in 1834 to 27,000,000 f.; in 1838 to more than 34,000,000 f. The advantages secured to Belgium by the late treaty cannot fail to increase this amount. These facts we think should in a manner remove the antipathy which the Belgians show against us, for what reason we know not. England herself has not given us so many subjects of complaint in commer cial affairs as Belgium has done ; and perhaps if we had consented to make to Great Britain so many real concessions as we have done to the new kingdom, she would in return have made concessions which would have been of great advantage to our commerce. The Belgian Government cannot but be aware that France offers her the most important outlet for her commerce. Can she, therefore, by ill-treating France, think that she can more readily enter into an alliance with Ger many ? Up to this day no State foreign to the Ger manic Confederation has entered into the German Association. That association, although purely com mercial in its form, is nevertheless imprinted with a certain political character, very compatible with its organic formation, but little suitable to the political system of the other States. The question of the right of personal search, claimed by the Post-office agents, has been de cided by the Court of Cassation against that Ad ministration, The Criminal Chamber of that Court lately enacted that the search, authorised by the decree of 27th Prairial, year 9, cannot be extended beyond certain limits, formally speci fied therein; that the provisions of that decree are not applicable either to the persons of tra vellers or to their effects; and that consequently the latter ought not to be subjected to an obliga tion that is not imposed on them by the law. The pretension of the Post-office to search the persons or baggage of travellers for letters has been pronounced unfounded by the highest legal authority in the kingdom, and resistance to that pretension declared lawful. The price of bread had experienced a slight fall in Paris, that of the first quality being fixed during the second fortnight of October, at 34 cents. per kilogramme; and that of the second quality at 26 cents. COURT CIRCULAR. - - - WINDSOR, TUESDAY.—Her Majesty and her Illus trious Consort enjoyed their usual walk this morning in the Home Park. The Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal were taken airings both in the morning and after noon, accompanied by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton. Her Majesty, accompanied by the Princess Royal, and attended by the Countess of Dunmore and the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, rode out in a pony car riage, the Maids of Honour following in another carriage. His Royal Highness Prince Albert was on horseback, attended by the two Equerries in Waiting. His Excellency Prince Esterhazy and Sir Henry Wheatley, took their leave this morning. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent (who we are happy to say is quite well), takes daily airings and walks in the vicinity. This evening her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent and Lady Charlotte Dundas, the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, Lord and Lady Haddo, Sir William Free mantle, and Sir Charles Rowley, will have the honour of joining the Royal Dinner Circle at the Castle. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, attended by Baroness Ahlefeldt, honoured the performance at Covent-garden Theatre, on Monday evening, with their presence. Baron de Nieumann transacted business, yester day, at the Office of the Secretary of State for Fo reign Affairs. Prince Esterhazy, the Austriam Ambassador, re turned to town yesterday, from a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle. ANTI.MATRIMONIAL PARTSIL—A Correspondent informs us that the parish of Silchester, famed far and near for its remains as a Roman town, is scarce less worthy of note for the numbers of bachelors and spinsters it contains. Some time since, at a vestry dinner held there, it was a remarkable fact that there was not a married man amongst the party, which consisted of seven; and on a recent occasion, when a gentleman from a distant county, by way of example, led one of the damsels of the neighbourhood to the altar, the minister could not tell him the amount of the fees, declaring, that though he had been in office for ten years, this was the first marriage by license that had taken place.— Berkshire Journal. An anonymous contributor, hiding his benevolence under the initials "A. 8.," has forwarded the muni ficent donation of 2001. to the Charing-cross Hospital, through the hands of the Rev. G. H.

As the Gallant Admiral was leaving his banker's (Messrs. Drummond's), Charing cross, on Monday afternoon, he stopped i to take a view of the Nelson Monument erecting in Tra falgar-square. Whilst in the act of minutely look ing at the column, his foot slipped, and the Gallant Officer fell on the curb stone, the effect of which was a serious fracture of the thigh bone near the hip. Admiral Nugent was immediately con veyed to Charing-cross Hospital, where the most prompt surgical attendance was given, and every attention paid, and to-day we are in formed that the Gallant Officer is going, on very favourably, but from his advanced age (85), no san guine hope of a perfect restoration to health can le en tertained. No dangerous result is, however, at pre sent expected. The Gallant Admiral has expressed a wish not to be removed from the hospital until i.e re covers, as he feels convinced that every attention will Le paid to his wants and comforts.

The French revenue returns, so favourable as com pared with the English returns for the last year, afford subject for congratulation in all the Paris journals of Sunday. The Moniteur Uni';ersel contains a Itval ordon nance, countersigned by M. Cunin Gridaine, Minister of Commerce, reducing the export duty on almonds from 2f. for 100 kilogrammes to 25 cents. (about two. pence halfpenny.) The price of bread in Paris is fixed from the 16th to the 31st inst. at 34c. the kilogramme, or about 61d. the 41b. loaf. According to the Constitutionnel. its patron, M . Thiers, remains b oo k- ma ki ng at Lill e, an d w ill not return to Paris before next month, being " exclu sively" occupied with writing some chapters of the " History of the Consulate and Empire." The Constitutionnel complains in a bitter article of the ingratitude of Belgium towards France, and cau tions the former not to seek an alliance with Ger many, which will be refused, but to look solely to France as her sheet-anchor. Belgium, it adds, con stantly refuses to pay the French expenses of the siege of Antwerp. The nomination of the Abbe-Olivier, Bishop of Evreux, to the office of Preceptor to the Count of Paris, is said to be ce r t a i n . The Prince of Capua and his family have arrived at Paris.

Dwarkanauth Tagore is'said by the Debats to have introduced a number of European establishments into Calcutta, as schools of medicine, &c. He has also founded various commercial houses in India, China, the Mauritius, and London. PUBLIC OPINION. The Post observes, in reference to the present con dition of the - Whig party :—" What has become of the Whig party ? We observe some smart criticisms occasionally, in newspapers, written in a Whiggish spirit, and many plaintive assurances in more elabo rate publications that the Whigs are the most deserv ing set of politicians on the face of the earth; but, after all, where are they ? They were very potent a few years ago, and very numerous. What avalanche has overwhelmed them ? In what snow-wreath have they been buried ? They had opportunities enough to strike their roots deep—where are the branches and the fruits. They will tell us, perhaps, that they are to be found in Sir R o b er t P ee l s policy. Here they may, in a certain sense, and to a certain extent, make out a sort of plausible case ; but it is no more than plausible, and at the best will not account for the position of the Whig party. Why should Sir Robert Peel and his friends be in power, if, with the approbation of the country, Whig policy is being car ried into effect ? If there were nothing wrong in them, is it credible that they should be thus scattered, dispersed, blown almost out of political existence by the breath of popular contempt, and yet with their principles (according to their own account) triumphant all the while ? The truth is, that we contemplate with no particular satisfaction the state of wretched ness to which the Whigs are now reduced as a party. They are like separate heaps of chaff blown hither and thither, in strange conrusion—now mixing—no w separating, but, apart or in unison, nothing better than chaff—no worth—no substance—no power of produc ing a vivid effect upon the public mind. This is always the end of manoeuvring, and trick, and shuf fling on from month .to month, and year to year, upon mere outward signs an d pitif u l excuses. The Vhigs wore themselves out in clinging to office long after their position was despicably weak ; and at last when the final blow came, and they were beaten ou t, th ey had nothing upon which to rally." The following is from the Chronicle :—" The Exa miner of last Saturday again takes up the defence of the Tory Government in regard to the Ashburton capitulation. We congratulate Sir Robert Peel and Lord Aberdeen upon the zeal of their new supporter; though we cannot compliment them upon the ability which he has displayed in their service. Indeed, our respected Contemporary, since he has on this subject become a supporter of the Tory Government, seems to have left behind him, in thus passing over, th a t acuteness of mind and those powers of reasoning for which in general he has been so remarkable. A more hazy performance than this last article of his we have seldom read, even in the pages,of those who are more accustomed to the service which he has so generously undertaken. We say generously, because it is very generous in a paper so opposed to the Government on other matters, to have stepped forward to support it in the hour of its distress. A friend in need is a friend indeed ; and never did a Government more need a friend than the present Government do on this occasion. They have found a friend, too, who is like the Highlander, of whom it is said that any man will stand by his friend when he is right, but the Highlander will defend him even when he is wrong." The Times says :—" The dispatch in which Mr. Webster concludes his late correspondence with Lord Ashburton, and communicated to the Britsh Envoy the views of the American Government on the sub ject of the impressment of British seamen from Ame rican merchant vessels, has given rise to very absurd inferences on the Continent; but at the same time the subject deserves the fullest consideration. Mr. Web ster has not exaggerated the hardships and evils, which this practice occasioned in the course of the last war. A power, which even in its mildest form was peculiarly liable to be abused, was put into the hands of those most likely to abuse it. Redress was almost im possible, yet the number of cases in which redress was actually obtained and seamen discharged on the application of the American Govern ment, shows that the abuses of this anode of impressment were acknowledged by the English Ad miralty to be frequent. From the month of July, 1796, to that of April, 1797, the American Secre tary of State applied for the discharge of 271 seamen, stating themselves to be American citizens. Of this number 86 were discharged, 37 more were detained for want of proof of their national character, but the remaining 148 had already sailed beyond the reach of inquiry. The increasing commercial relations of the two countries, and especially the vast tide of emi gration which has flowed since the p eace f rom th e shores of Great Britain to the ports of the United States, would now, of course, render these painful questions of still more frequent occurrence; and Mr. Webster argues, with equal truth,and ingenuity, that whilst Great Britain encourages emigration to all parts of the world, both within and beyond the domi nions of the Crown, it is inconsistent and unjust to affect to claim that strict allegiance from her former subjects which she has encouraged them to transfer to another Power. MONEY-TZADZ-CoyzmEncz. The deficiency detected in the accounts of Mr. Hannay, the Managing Director of the late Maryle bone Bank, amounting to 17,0001., will fall upon the Directors exclusively. By means of mutual conces sions, the claims of the creditors, it is said, w ill b e discharged in full. The Spitalfields weavers, at a meeting last night, convened to consider the late Custom-house frauds, resolved that for the present no meeting of the trade should be called, but that they should • wait to ascer tain the result of any investigation instituted by the Government. Mr. Martin, of Wakefield, engaged in the malt and corn trade, has failed to the amount of about 7,0001. His business in Lancashire was considerable, and the Excise claim to the extent of 3,0001. ECCLESIASTICAL. The new Bishop of Meath is cousin-german of the Duke of Buccleuch. This appointment is said to be chiefly owing to the influence of the Primate of Ire land, under whom he acted in the capacity of chaplain. MLECTIONEZIRrItG.

NAVAL AND MILITARY. Lieutenant-General Sir James Lyon, K.C.B. and G.C.H., Colonel of the 24th Regiment, died lately at Brighton. Woolwich, it is stated, will shortly be added to the metropolitan stations of the Foot Guards. A Court-martial was held on Saturday at Ports mouth, on board the St. Vincent, for the trial of Mr. John Evans, gunner of the Jasseur, for absenting himself without leave, and neglecting his duty. He was sentenced to be severely reprimanded, and not to be permitted at any time hereafter to rise above the third class of gunners in her Majesty's Navy. LAW AND POtIC-E. Peter Hughes was charged at Lambeth-street on Monday, with having falsely represented himself as the Rev. Arr. Cavanagh, parish priest in Ireland, and ob taining subscriptions to a considerable amount to assist him in building a Catholic chapel in his parish (Wexford). The imposition appears to have been carried on to a large extent, and the prisoner was re manded till Saturday next, to obtain further infor mation. Wm. Thomas was on Monday charged at Thames street, with stealing property, valued at 1001., from Messrs. Hallett and Co., woollen-drapers, at Ratcliff. He was committed for trial for the felony.
