r in this document, which established the co-operation of the 31arquis of Hastings, and his full concurrence in the proceed ings of the rest of the Government. With respect to the conduct of ,lift. ADAM, during his administration, he had been fur nished since he came into Court with three testimonials highly honourable to the ability with which he discharged the duties of the situation to which he had been called. These acknowledg ments of his services were to be found in a letter of the Governor of Bombay to a near relative, dated the 14th of August, 1823, which stated the general sentiment of respect and admiration that prevailed towards him throughout all India. The second acknowledgment was contained in the approbation of a general meeting of the inhabitants of Calcutta, at the expiration of the period af his administration, in which approbation the very Mr. Palmer, whose recommendation of Mr. Buckingham had been so strongly relied upon by his advocate, that day concurred, as did alio the gentleman (31 r. Fergusson ) who had been his Counsel in India.—(Loud cries of Hear !)—The third and last testimony in favour of Mr. Adam's conduct was that of LonD Aet F. R T, who accompanied the expression of the satisfactory manner in which he hail administered the affairs of India, with an expres sion of regret that his state of health was such as would deprive him of his future assistance--:as, by losing that assistance, he felt that he hail lost " the staff on which he had principally leant." This he thought was a satisfactory vindication of Mr. Adam against the imputations thrown out against him. As to a free press in India, it should be remembered that all institutions in society were relative to the degree in which they promoted the happiness of the community into which they were introduced. And as one institution may be well calculated for a people in an advanced state of civilization, so it may be very unfit for the well-being of a people who were not se.—(Hear !)—This was a consideration peculiarly ap plicable to the state of the press in this country and in India.— A free press was well suited to a free country, but was incon. sistent with such a despotic Government as prevailed in India. It would only teach the people there that a toreign yoke oug!it to be shaken off—that every country had a right to its own peculiar form of laws and government, and would terminate in stimulating a slave population to subvert the present Govern ment, and establish a dominion of their own, and enrich them selves with the plunder and rapine of the Indian empire. The Rose Geolleman proceeded to point out the incompatibility of the present situation of society in India with the establishment of 4 free press ; and concluded a very able speech, by proposing an amendment "to atljourn generally," which ho subsequently withdrew, as he thought it would be the better way directly to negative the proposition of the Honourable Mover. Sir J. AlatcoLlit knew Mr. Adam for 30 years, and felt it his duty to vindicate his character from the aspersions which had been thrown upon it. He never met a man of more sound judgment, calm temper, and deliberate wisdom. From a know ledge formed by experience, ho was of opinion that a free liress was a dangerous and unnecessary institution to establish there. There was not in India, as in England, a public formed of arti sans merchants, and other such classes. The Europeans were mostly either in the military or civil service. This was not what was meant by the public in England. For such persons a free press was unnecessary. And for the natives it was dangerous to introduce, as it supplied them with notions of government and law, which, from the nature of our connexion, it was impossible they could practically enjoy. The lion. Baronet went into an intimating detail of the state of society in India; and although he admired the talent and industry of Mr. Buckingham, yet he approved of the conduct of Government in discountenancing the establishment of a free press, which was not suited to the infant state of society there. Mr. Dtxoer never heard his Hon. Friend (Mr. Kinnaird) under more distressing circumstances than on the present occa sion. Notwithstanding the ingenuity with which he had en. deavoured to disentangle the Marquis of Hastings from the con. duct of the Indian Government towards Mr. Buckingham, it satisfactorily appeared lie was a party to those proceedings— " Keep me front my friends" was an adage of which they had that day a specimen in the advocacy of the Honourable Gentle men. Mr. Buckingham went out as a free mariner : he was heard of only, however, as n political writer on public affairs ; he was adverse to the establishment of a free press in India, on the grounds stated, as unnecessary and dangerous. bar C. Fosses thotight, certainly, thar India did not admit of .% free press, but neither had he any doubt that Mr. Buck inghem had been maltreat e d. The re wa s, he granted, no p r o o f before them of the malice of the Government, but if any cre dence was to be placed in the documents that had that day been read, there could be no doubt of the existence of much malice. People might say a great deal about not allowing the natives or that colony to write about these things, but it was not possible to prevent them front talking about them, and that would be sufficient to do infinite mischief—(liear, hear 1) — Much justice remained to be done to that country, for we did not hold the natives by their affectione, but by their fears ; they were held by the sword, anti the worst of it was, that that sword was in the hands of the natives, who might, at any time, turn it against ourselves. - Mr. Hu Ass said, that as the hour was so very late, he trusted that the Court would consent to an adjournment of the question 10 a future day. This motion was secondeti by Mr. KIWWitIII3. General linowx said, that after 30 years continual read. denee in India, he was full/ impressed with the persuasion that a free press_ was incompatible with the interests of that coun try. He opposed the original motion. A PROPRIETOR, whose name we could not learn, admired the moderate admonition of the Government to Mr. Bucking. ham, even on his own shelving ; and considering what the law was, and how frequently Mr. Buckingham infringed it, he was surprised at the extraordinary lenity that had been evinced to wards that Gentleman. lie thought that no case had been made out for the production of the papers, and therefore he opposed the motion. Mr. THANT said a few words expressive of his approbation dike conduct of Government towards Mr. Buckingham. The CHAIRMAN then put the question, that this Court ad journ till Friday week, which was negatived. On putting the original question, Mr. Knoratnii trusted, as a great number of Gentlemen on his side of the Court had retired, owing to previous engagements, that the Court would not insist upon putting the question then. It was a trick unworthy of them, anti it would not succeed, for he had in his pocket a requisition, signed by nine Proprietors, ready to hand to the Secretary to convene another Meeting to the same purpose. If it stood still now they would disgrace them selves, and be the laughing-stock of the public. 'rite question must be fully discussed. Mr. BUCKINGHAM was extremely desirous that the ques tion should be postponed to a future day. The CHAIRMAN said, that the word trick" had been used unfairly, for it was their own choice that the Members had withdrawn, and indeed no great support seemed to have been given to the motion, for out of nine Members who had signed the requisition, only four had attended. After a few words from Sir C. Fo RIMS and the CHAIRMAN, Mr. Kinnlard's question of the Papers was put and negatived by a large majority. The Court broke up at seven o'clock. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

There Ives very little doing this morning in either Stock Market, until about twelve s o'clock, when a Broker of extensive connections pur chased Consols to a very large amount, the effect of which was to raise them from 944 (the opening price), to 051. They have since fallen back to 94i. We expect very important news from Spain, particularly as regards a New Loan and the im mediate sailing of an Armed Force to South America. Some of or contemporaries have very erro-: neously asserted that the expence of the troops going to Portugal is to be defrayed by this country ; we stated, ou the first mention of this affair, that the whole expence of the expedition was to be defrayed by Portugal, which fact, we again most positively re peat. At the same time we are equally assured that a New Loan will be immediately negociated, to meet these"growing expences. The survey of Transports (for the purpose, it is supposed, of conveying troops to-Portugal,) was commenced on Wednesday at Deptford, by that able officer, Capt. YOUNG. We have, in our front page, given extracts from the Paris Papers of Wednesday, the Etuile of Thursday, and the Greek Telegraph of May 27th. In the crowded state of our columns we can offer no remarks, nor indeed is there any thing of sufficient interest in the foreign intelli gence to require observation. The following news from Greece is taken from a private letter : LEA (Gutstet), MAY 26.—When the Turkish fleet passed the Dardanelles at the beginning of May, it went first towards Mitylene, afterwards to the Island of Scia thos, situated on the eastern coast of Thessaly. The Turkish Government had given the Admiral express orders to make himself master of this Island. The fleet had on board all the troops which could be collected for this purpose, consisting of 2,000 Albanians, or Arnauts, 3,000 Janissaries, and other troops amounting to 2,000. &in tim: is a small island, very steep, and of no importance as to its soil, but of great consequence as a military po sition, because it is difficult of access to ships of war, and because its situation makes it the key of the island of Eubea, of the Gulf of Volos and of Magnesia. This last coun. try, which the island governs completely, is occupied by a corps of the Greek army, and would facilitate very much im. peding the motions of an enemy's army in Thessaly. At the time of the arrival of the Turkish army, the Greeks had only a small number of troops, but determined ones, being the re mainder chiefly of the inhabitants of Cassandra and Naousta which were ravaged by the 31ussehnen in 1021 and 1822. At first these troops defended the coasts with much obstinacy, and when after a long bombardment the enemy succeeded in dis embarking his troops, they charged them from the heights with such fury, that they had no option but flight. At tile moment of re-embarkation, the Greeks made a terrible carnage. The Capitan Paella only returned with a feeble remnant, and went towards Salonica. THE KING% ARRIVAL IN TOWN•--Yesterday afternoon, at a few minutes before six o'clock, the KING arrived at his Palace in Pall-mall, in his travelling_ carriage and four, from Windsor, escorted by a party of cavalry. The Duke of Yonii honoured the Earl and Countess of JERSEY with his company to dinner yesterday, at their residence in Berkeley-square, where there was a numerous party to meet his Royal Highness. We are informed that several transports were taken up yesterday, by the Transport Board, for immediate service, and that one individual in the City chartered four of them. Petitions from all the Maritime Districts for the repeal of the Duty on Coals carried coast- 1 wise, will be presented early in the next Sessions, and it is but reasonable to hope that the Chan cellor of the Exchequer will agree to the repeal of this unequal, injurious, and oppressive Tax, as well as the local Tax of one shilling per chal dron on the export of coals from the port of Newcastle, which is nut chargeable on any other port. THE ARMY. GRAND REVIEW OF THE FOOT GUARDS IN HYDE PARK. This being the day appointed by his Royal Highness-the Duke of YORK to review the Foot Guards, an immense number of persons assem bled at an early hour to witness the grand spec tacle. Soon after 9 o'clock, the First Regiment Grenadiers, of which his Royal Highness is Co lonel, with the Ist battalion 3d Regiment, mus tered in Hyde Park; they consisted of about 3,000 men. The brigade was then ordered to form into a body, which, to the spectators, presented an ani mated sight ; in this situation they remained under arms, waiting the arrival of his Royal Highness and Staff, and in the int er i m a p ar ty of the Mar quis of ANGLESEY'S Regiment, the 7th Hussars, was requested to clear the crowd away. About half-past ten o'clock his Royal Highness appear ed, and was received with presented arms. The Stair was very numerous and splendid ; amongst the many distinguished persons present were, his Royal Highness the Duke of GLoucEsTcß, Prince LEOPOLD, Duke of WELLINGTON, Major-General Sir Hatqat TOURENS, were a number of Ladies on 'horse-back and in baronches. The Staff proceeded along the front and rear of the bri gade, when the whole formed into open column, and marched at slow and quick time past the Staff. The brigade next formed into line three deep, and commenced firing from the centre, then from the right end left wing, and afterwards in compa. tiles, according to the new-regulated discipline, which was performed with such accurate preci sion apparently to astonish all beholders. The , word of command was given by Colonel WOOD• YOUD, and no sooner was it uttered, than his mandate was obeyed. Each man was supplied with thirty rounds of blank car tridge. The spectacle was a very imposing one, and seemed to give general satisfaction to the immense crowd assembled, which, upon a moderate calculation, could not be less than from 10,000 to 15,000 persons. It is but justice to state, on the part of the 7th Hussars, who kept the ground, that their behaviour was uni versally admired. His Royal Highness the Co ItSIANTS a-ta-Cal ET, attended by ,Major-General Lord E. H. Somerset; 31ajor-General Stt.T. W. Gordon, the Quarter-Master-General; Major-Gene ral Sir 11. Torrens, the Adjutant-General; Col. J. Macdonald, the Deputy Adjutant-General, and several other Officers, in spected the filth Hussars and the 17th Lancers, yesterday morn ing in Hyde Park. The Regiments assembled in contiguous columns of squadrons, right in front. They deployed into line of parade, and received his Royal High n ess the Com mandrr-m-Chief with due military honours. N is Royal High ness, followed by a numerous Staff, rode down the line, and returned by the rear to his station opposite the centre. The Regiments then passed in parade by half-squadrons, and subsequently filed past and trotted past. They afterwards formed line and gave the general salute. Major-General Lord Edward Somerset gave the word of command. The QUEEN of the SANDWICH ISLANDS. (ruuTnan PARTICULARS.) The Queitrr,dtported this lit'w on Thursday evening, at half-past & o'clock, and to the last was quite sen sible and composed. The KING took his last farewel about 10 o'clock in the morning, previously. to which she informed him that she was sensible she was dying, and was quite resigned. Their separation was truly afflicting. Welearn that the immediate cause of her d ath was inflammation of the lungs. During her illness she was attended by Sir H. Halford, Dr. Ley, Dr. Holland, and Mr. Peregrine. The King, since her demise, has expressed his satisfaction at the attention she received. The following official statement has been drawn up by the physicians who attended : " The Queen of the Sandwich Islands departed this life about half.past six this evening, without much apparent suf fering, and in possession of her senses to the last moment. " The King, in the midst of this deep sorrow, manifests a firmness of mind which has penetrated every body about him with a feeling of respect. Though very anxious to express his grief in the manner of his country, and to chew the marks of deference which are usually paid to the dead there, he submits with good sense and patience to every suggestion which our habits dictate. " We have every reason to believe that his Majesty's anxiety and depression have aggravated all the symptoms of 'his disease, which, but for this rause, might ere now have terminated prosperously ; but we hope in a day or two that he will be better. (Signed) " HENRY HA LFORD, "HENRY HOLLAND, " HUGH LEY. " Thursday Evening, July 8, 11324." The sepulchral rites observed by these islanders, and which are alluded to in the above report, seem, according to the ac counts of all travellers, !c, be involved in considerable mystery. Campbell says the bodies of the dead are always disposed of secretly, and he never could learn where they were interred. The Queen, he tells us, preserved the bone; of her father carefully wrapped up in a piece of cloth. When she slept in her own house, they were placed by her side ; and in her ab sence, they were laid on a feather-bed, which she had received from the Captain of a ship, and which was used for that pur pose only. When Campbell asked the reason of this custom, she replied, " It was because she l ove d h er f at h er so d ear l y ." Mariner also saw these bones, and on i nqu i r y f ou nd that this was not a custom of the Queen only, b ut a common pract i ce among these islanders. Prince LEopotat left town yesterday morning for Claremont. Ilis Royal highness returned to Marlborough House in the afternoon, and after wards honoured the Marquis of LAxsaowN with his company to dinner, at his house in Ber keley-square. The Earl and Countess of LIMIPOOL yester day left their residence, Fife House, WhiteltLll Stairs, in a barouche and pair, his Lordship Surrey, passing a d l r o iv ng in t g ll a etT l ew t r o o o a k d aatuMaiilrlilig t l an i k n , across Vauxhall bridge. His Lordship looked uncommonly well. 'Tic REV. C.C. COLTON.—Considerable doubts are entertained as to the statements which have appeared in our Newspapers, about the Rev. Mr. Colton, author of Lacon, having been in this country, and the dashing appearance he is said to have made in several places which he visited.— The Newport Mercury mentions the receipt of a letter from a gentleman in Charleston, dated the 26th ult., in which the writer says that Mr. Col ton left Charleston a few days previous for Lon don, in consequence of letters from his attorneys, stating that there were ample funds to satisfy all demands against hint, and have a handsome re version. His living at Kew still remains open, and the Bishop has not taken any steps to de prive him of it.—(New York Paper, June 15.) FASHIONABLE CHANGES.

DISGRACE THE DUKE or BUCKINGHAM Alin CUAXDOS. —The Duke and Duchess of Buckingham and Chandos arrived at the Star Inn here on the evening of Saturday last from Stowe, where they found the following ladies and gentlemen, who had preceded them by a day or two :—General Sir George Nugent, Lady and Miss Nugent; Professor Buckland of Ox ford, the celebrated Geologist ; Captain Wilcox, R.N.; 31r. Lailbroak, and Mr. Carringtion. This distinguished party, accompanied by our venerable Professor Jardine, Professor Hooker, and Mr. Cleland, attended Divine Service yesterday morning and afternoon in St. John's Chapel, where they heard the Rev. Dr. Chalmers, late of St. John's Church, preach.— Ilis Grace, having formes, one of the moat splendid collections of minerals in the country, deficient only in Scotch ape. cimens, is about to make the great tour of the IVestern Isles, Giant's Causeway, &c., accompanied by his scientific friends.

Mr. Er.rarroN was the hero of the first, and DOWTON of the latter Piece. Excellent as the acting of both was, a great part of the attraction, no doubt, belonged to CATALAN!, who sung two airs in the intervals with great applause, and concluded with 41 Rule Britannia," which she gave with such animation as to excite an universal encore. She repeated it with equal fervour, and Mr. &LISTON headed the chorus. COVENT.GARDEN.—The Benefit of Mr. T. P. COOKE and Mr. CONNOR took place last night. The first Piece was The Wes! Indian. Jamas' Bekour had all his usual indefatigable spirit. Cotorou not only possessed the boots of his ad. mired predecessor, Mr. JOSINSTONE, but caught a portion of his humour. EG ERTON, always re spectable, was fully so in Stockwell. The rest of the charactersP i ece were an In properly w on taken from the Farce of Netley Abbey, in .which T. P. Cooxe and CONNOR highly diverted the audience. The first, by a naval story, and the latt er , by a ha dicrous new version of t. Coots introduced a hornpipe, CoNNoa an Irish ji g , an d were eac h encored. The terrific Romance of Frankenstein followed, and T.P. COOKE, in the manufactured goblin, excited horrific feelings in the audience. The part of Elizabeth was taken by Miss II EN RT, instead of Miss LIKAUNONT, for whom an apology was made on account of indisposition. II ATM ARK LT.—Matrimony, Sweethearts and Wives, and The Cock of the Walk, drew a nu merous audience to this Theatre last night, and all went off with success. ENGLISH OPERA IlousE.—The Barber of Seville last night again brought forward the ta lents of Miss HA !IVEY in Rosina, and of PHILLIPS in the Count. The Pantomime of The Monkey Island followed. Little Buume gave his violin concerto, and a ludicrous song in the character of a Quack Doctor, in both of which he was de servedly applauded, but chiefly for the former. Miss BEAUMONT has announced her intention to take leave of the stage. The public will regret to lose so pleasing au Actress. According to re port she is about to assume the character of a wife, which, from the propriety of her conduct, there can be no doubt she will support with ex etnplary merit. Mr. YOUNG played Macbeth, and Mrs. Buxx Lady Macbeth, at the Birmingham Theatre, on Friday last, Ma. BooTn.—Respecting the report of Mr. BOOTH'S insuaity, a New York Paper of the ilth ult., We— " It gives us real pleasure to say that we were deceived in our information rescti the nature and cause of the cal amit y w hich we were in f o r med had befallen Mr. Booru. We have se en the 'physician who was in attendance upon Mtn, and are assured that the attack with which be has been schied has been solely occasioned by excessive watchfulness, and was of a tem porary nature, having been relieved by a night's sleep. , was not the slightestground for the report respecting h is do mestic loss. There LORD BYRON. Yesterday the remains of Lord BYRON lay in state in Sir EDWARD KNATCHUU LL'S house, Great George -street. The front parlour was appropriated for this ceremony, hung in black in the usual manner on such occasions, and lighted with wax tapers, placed in gilt girandole lamps, arranged on the %sails of the chamber, which is small and inconamodious: l . - The admission was not for the public geuerally, but by tickets, and several of the nobility and gentry called in the course of the day. Amongst those who were earliest in their attendance was the present Lord Byron, accompanied by some of his family and friends. The coffin is soldiered down, and the remains of the deceased can no more be seen before interment by any mem ber of his family.—At the head of the coffin is placed, upon a. separate supporter, a large square case, richly • covered and ornamented to correspond With the coffin, containing four earthen urns, of Grecian workmanship, in which were deposited, at Missolonghi, the heart, brains, &c. of the deceased. Near the coffin, on the ground, is an escutcheon, which was painted on wood in Greece, and there displayed when the body of Lord Byron lay in state at Missolonghi. The crest on this escutcheon is a stag, but the real family crest, and which is preserved on the armorial bearings upon the coffin, is a mermaid. Five of the late Lord Byron's suite accompanied the body to England. Amongst them is a doctor (an Italian), who attended his Lordship, and also his Italian courier, who was described in an article in the last number of a magazine, pub• lished at Edinburgh, as having been killed by a Suliote in Greece. He is a man of robust stature, and wears a rich uniform, en militaire, of blue and silver. He has divested himself, since his arrival in this cauntry, .of time long black beard, which ap pears to have had such an appalling effect upon the writer in the magazine, who describes the visit which he paid the lute Lord Byron last. year in Genoa. The feeling manner in which these domestics speak of their late distinguished master mast be now received as ,a disinterested testimony of much private worth. The muscular form and outline of bodily strength for which the late Lord Byron was remarkable, were per. reedy visible after his decease, notwithstanding the operation of his last paralyzing illness, and the previous indisposition, which was wended with very debilitating effects. The personal ap• pearance continued nearly the same when the body was removed from the spirits, its which it had been preserved in the voyage to this country, into the coffin finally prepared for its reception. The fine lines of the features had of course col lapsed in death, but they were previously re duced, and expressive of much care and anxiety. His hair had grown thin,and become in many places gray ; this alteration became more vicible after death, when the curls lay more extended upon the surface of the head.
