PARtf, JUNEt 17.—" NOBODY" is the great Offender in England who breaks all y the China, drinks the wine and brandy, and rocs the 16rder, In France " c'est le chat" (it is the cat) that does all these things, so that it is become proverbial, when a person denies what he is charged with to say ironically, oui, c'est le chat ! This expression is so common among the lower classes, that when the "Pattior votlions youth," of the Schools of Law and Medicine, bawled out in the streets, Vice la Charte," the mob not willing to be behind in demonstrations of constitutional feeling, and being ignorant of the word Charte, fancied it was Chatte, and cried out with sterstorion lungs at every moment, with true patriotism, Vice la Chatte (Long live the She Cat) ; one of them who vociferated this cry the most loudly, being sOted by his neighbour what it meaut, replied, Faith 1 don't know exactly, but as the MiniSters say it is a seditious cry, I fancy by La Chatte is meant MARIE Louisa ;" and these are " the thousands who kneeled down during ' the pelting of the pitiless storm,' with their hats off, and swore to maintain inviolate"—La Chatte ! ! ! OS ! M.' LAFITTE ! N. LAFITTE, oh ! All is quiet again ; the excess of the evil gene rally produces the remedy, and the just•fication of the treasonable conduct of the mob by Mr. Banker LAFITTE and Co., has made many of the cote gauche desert the cause o: liberty and licence, and spontaneously range themselves under the banners of Government, so that the law, which wa s at first contested in every article, with nearly equal numbers, at length passed by an immense majority. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, WEDNESDAY. SIR. FRANCIS BURDETT. This being the last day of Term, all the Courts were crowded almost to suffocation.—Mr,,Justice BAILEY sat in the old Court at nine o'clock to transact the regular routine of business. At pre cisely. eleven all the Judges took their se4ts in the Court of Exchequer, and the ATTORNEY GENERAL appearing . shortly after, the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE called on him to. more:: The ATTORNKY• GENERAL said, ha rose to take the opinion of the Court in the case of the King v. Sir Francis Burden. The Lotto CHIEF JUSTICE informed hitn the Court bad given the subject the utmost consider ation, and found that there was not a possibility' of proceeding with the case (his day without great detriment to other business, for they considered, it the arguments ended, there was no probability of the case being finally terminated. Mr DENMAN ►hen said, " I suppose the Rule is to be enlarged till next Term The COURT—" Yrs." BLAS HEMOUS PUBLICATIONS. Mr. BOLLAND applied in the Court, on the part of the Sheriffs of London, to know how they should proceed in the disposal of part of the pro perty of Richard Carlile, who had been convicted of publishing Bllsphemous and Seditious Libels, and whose property had been seized as part of the fine imposed. Some of this consisted of 1500 copies or Paine's and "other works which they were at a loss how to dispose of, their sale being prohibited. The COURT told him they could not interfere in the sale of the Books, but ordered them to pay over what money they had in hand. THE THEATEE.—ne new Opera of Darid Rizzio was agai►► brought forward at Drury• Lane Theatre last night, and the audience manifested the same favourable sentiments as on the former occasion. It is really "a concord of sweet sounds," in which BRAHAM appears to very great advantage as Composer, Singer, and indeed Actor. The gene ral merit of the acting, however, and particularly tbat of RAE and Mrs. WEST,. powerfully recom mend the piece. —There was some judicious cur! tailment which rendered _the table more compact and operative. From St. Petersburgh• we are sorry to learn,' that on the 24th of May last a fire broke out in the Imperial Palace of Zankajeelo (situate about 14 English milts from the capital), which con sumed a great part of that splendid edifice, toge ther with the academy founded by the present Em peror. His Majesty was present during this pain ful scene, and animated the exertions of the en gineers and military in extinguishing the flames. An article, dated Hamburgh, the 13th instant, states—" His Majesty the Emperor ot Russia has addressed a declaration to all the European Courts, relative to the late political changes in Spain." Yesterday the Doke and Duchess ot GLotTces- TER, several of the Cabinet Ministers, the Duke of Mowraose, and several of the Nobility and their Ladies,• dined with Prince LEOPOLD, at Marlborough-house. Eleven Banks in Ireland have stopped payment since the first day of this month. This morning the celebrated Doctor WATSON was released from his confinement, in taking the benefit of the Insolvent Act. Mr. KEAN continues so lame from his late acci dent, Cleat doubts are entertained of his again be ing able to appear on the stage this season. It is said, that the several Corps of Volunteers of the Metropolis are immediately to be called out.—(Morning Paper), FOR THE SUN. MR. EDITOR-6.4 live in so remote a part of the Empire, that, what with the distance front Lon don and cross posts, it often happens in my vil lage that "_news much older than our ale goes round :" in fact, I have only jest heard of the kick•up made in your City by the arrival of her Majesty THE QUEEN, who, i perceive, is made the cool of the same Party she formerly left in the lurch by going to the Continent ; and although the then leader of the Parry declared, that, had he suspected her intention to go abroad, he would not have voted the increase of her pension, yet the Party has such a stock of charity that its arms are always open to receive the recreants.- 1 do hope that matters will be settled without an investigation ; for if one takes place there trill not be the same reasons for hushing it up as for merly—though 1 am #ersuaded that in law there is no grounds for one. The Princess of WaLus was virtually divorced a mensa et thoro by the vote of Parliament allowing her 35,0001. per annum; and I do not think that the Prince had afterwards any right over her conduct, excepting in a perspective political view, as in the event of his coming to the Throne; and I have reason to know that it was with this view only that infor mation was taken in Italy relative to her Royaj Highness's conduct there ; and even this was not done until Fame, with its thou sand tongues, had sounded throughout all Europe, the scenes of Pesaro and the Lego di Como. The QUBEN says, she is come over to defend her honour ; but Italy, not England, is the place to disprove the rumours which every body has beard, and which site never took any pains to conceal or contradict. Her MAJESTY complains, that owing to the influence of the agents of the British Government, she was not treated with proper respect. Did the idea never enter her MAJESTY'S head, that her almost general exclusion from female society of rank might ori ginate in another cause ? I will not enter further into the subject, because I hope the public will be spared the revelations which must follow any inquiry ; but the time is now come to state a fact to the public, which will endear the person of his Majesty Geottas f -IV. still more to. his faithful subjects. The origin of the delicate investiga tion is known but to few. It did not arise with the PRINCE, it Was forced upon him by one of his Royal Brothers;. and it was only after that Royal Brother had been at the pains of collecting a body of information of the most important nature, that at length the PRINCE ceded to the instances made on the subject. On the investigation facts, or what had every appearance of facts, came out, which induced an immediate termination of far ther inquiry. This was a mystery to the public, and afroltrzd an excellent theme for the opposition press to assert the " perfect innocence . of the PRINCESS, and the cruel conduct of her enemies." The PRINCE was calumniated in every way, and his Royal Highness submitted in silence : be even imposed silence on those friends, who could with a breath have confounded his enemies. The cause may now be revealed. A Gentleman, by dint of inquiry, had discovered proofs of facts which might have satisfied a Jury ; Royal Highness, on being made acquainted with them, instantly caused a suspension of all proceedings— he would not even permit these facts to be laid before the High Commission, and his Royal Highs ness then declared, that he would submit to any calumny and to any censure that the public might throw upon him, for the mysterious suspension of the Investigation, rather than that the Mother of the future Queen of the British Empire should be brought into farther question. History, Sir, does not, in all" its annals, present a finer trait of feeling as a Parent, or a more he roic sacrifice for the honour of the Throne. Here was no parade of virtue, his Royal Highness pa tiently suffered the calumny, and the mens conscia real was his only consolation, for he did not even deign to acquaint his best friends with his mo tives, willing that even they should blame him, rather than extend farther the knowledge of cir cumstances it was so important to conceal. June 14. VEILAX. CORN.EKCHANGE, JUNE 21.—A considerable quantity of Monday's supply of Wheat remained over for this morning's Market, for which there was little or no demand, notwithstanding the un settled state of the weather, and Monday's prices were with difficulty obtained for the fittest Samples, but Red Wheat was totally. unsaleable ; Oats eon tinoe very dull sale, owing to superabundant ar rivals. in Barley, Beaus, and Peas, there is no alteration. Thar fine Regiment, the Tyne Yeomanry Hus sars, five troops, commaipded by Lieutenant Sir THOMAS BURDON, are expected to go on perma nent duty next week, at Sunderland near the Sea, in the county - of Durham.

Mr. ELLIS lies deCinred that he will, if necessary,/ spend the last shilling of his fortune rather than not succeed. SHIP NEWS.

The Dublin Evening Post of Saturday con'ains 3 Letter from Mr. D. O'Connell, which states that the Roman Catholic Comn►itte, appointed to consider and report a fit person to present their Petition to Parliament, passed a series of Reso•t lotions : " ist. That a Delegation from the Committee should wait on Mr. Plunkett, respectfully to into' ro if he would support the prayer of our Petition fur relief, unconnected with, anti unqualified he, any ecclesiastical restrictions or regulations. " 4d. That such Delegation should report in writing to the Committee the answer of Mr. Plunkett. " 3d. That in case Mr. Plunkett should not think fit to give a direct answer in the affirmative, the Committee would report the Knight of Kerry as a fit person to present our Petition." Mr. O'Connell adds, that the deputation dill wait upon Mr. Plunkett, and received his written, answer, but that it is not au affirmative answer, or any thing like one, as required by the first Resolution. A promise was given that Mr. Hun kett's answer should not be made public. Mr. O'Connell, therefore, cannot publish what it is—• be can only state what it is nor. NORTHUMBERLAND AND NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE VOLUNTEER CAVALRY. The high state of discipline and military efficiency to which the Northumberland and Newcastle-upon-Tyne Volunteer Cavalry, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel BRANDLINO base attained, since their formatioa last November, re flect the greatest credit on that numerous and respect able corps. At the same time it were to compromise merit, and to suppress the general voice of the regiment that has been so advantageously trained, did we not, in an especial ;wan ner, notice the individual who, by his indefatigable exertions, has mainly contributed to • the acquirement of that military science and proficiency for which the corps in question is dis tinguished—we mean Mr, Adjutant Short, of the 6th Dragoon Guards, whose merits so fairly entitle hiM to time honest pane gyric which these lines are respectfully intended to convey. In this spirit, and laudably anxious to give the adjutant a solid proof of their esteem and approbation, the Regiment of Northumberland and Newcastle-upon-Tyne Volunteer Cavalry voted him two elegant presents of silver plate; the one comprising a dejeune service, the gift of the officers of the regiment • the other a superb urn, th e g ift o f t h e non commissioned officers and privates of the Newcastle Troop.— The former was presented at a mess dinner, at the Queen's Head Inn, Newcastle, on Monday the sth, by Major Sir Charles Loraine, Baronet, who, in handsome terms, expressed the sense entertained by himself and his brother officers of the valuable services that had been rendered the corps by the adjntant's unwearied attention to their discipline, and requested he would accept of the plate they had unani mously voted him, as a small testimony of their respect and approbation. The Adjutant made an eloquent reply—which we by no means pretend to give—substantively observing that his humble services were far over-rated by his generous friends, and that while he gratefully accepted so flattering a mark of the approbation of the Officers of the Northumber land and Newcastle-upon-'Tyne Volunteer Cavalry, be must say his hest language was ill calculated to :thew how deeply he was affected by the liberality of their vete. The urn was presented on Thursday the Stir instant, at a crand mess diaper, given by the Members of the Newcastle Troop, on the occasion, at the Turk's Head Inn. John Clayton, Esq. a private in the Troop, was in the Chair, and to him was deputed the task of presenting the urn to the Adjutant, on behalf of his brother soldiers. In performing the ceremony, Mr. Clayton made an admirable Speech, in which he dwelt in terms of the warmest. panegyric on the benefits conferred by Mr. Adjutant Short on the troop (during which he was frequently cheered); and it is but justice to add, that the reply which - followed, by Mr. Adju tant Short, was one that did honour alike to his head and. heart, and drew down repeated plaudits. Conviviality them became the order of the day; and choice wine gave a zest to the glass. The band of the Royal Carabineers attended, anti by their concord of sweet sounds," afforded much enter tainment—as did also several excellent songs which were given in fine style by gentlemen of the party.' Mr. James Archbold, a serjeant in the troop, was Vice-President, and was an able co•adjutor to the Chair. In the course of a long evening, ample scope was afforded the worthy Chairman to exercise his various talent ; and he did exercise it in a way that gave the greatest satisfaction, and kept the party toge ther, as is already intimated, till a late hour. Mr. CHALONER starts for the representation of the City of York, in consequence of the Hon. L. DUNDAS'S accession to the Peerage by the death of his father.

WONDERFUL SPEED.—Capt. WALLING HAM undertook his great match yesterday, on the Blackwater-road, to trot a fa vourite grey horse, his property, miles and a half in one hour, for 2CO guineas. Such performances were more than ac complished by the Manchester and Phenomena mares sortie years ago; but it is said not since. The horse, upon this oc casion, carried 8 stone, which was a feather upon his powers. The first four miles was done in 14 minutes and 20 seconds; the next four in 14 minutes 10 seconds; the third four miles took 14 minutes 48 seconds. The horse .went on and did the next four miles so as to leave more than three minutes fur the half mile ; and the match was won tolerably easy.
