TO THE EDITOR OF THE St.7ti• SlR—Allow me through the medium of your Journal to call the attention of the Magistracy of. the Metropolis to the judicious decision of the Sitting Alderman, on Friday last, in refosing tu i convict, 'you the application of a common in former, where an offence against the words of the Act was alleged ; but " no nnisaaee or oh. stroction" was proved. - Such is the comprehen siveness of this new Acf, that if the clauses are to 'be carried into effect literally, l venture to say, that there, is no existing use of the streets of the metropolis which may not be called illegal, and that no inhabitant can pass- his .th r eshold with ;out being subject to the attacts of informers. By way of example, let us examine a small part i of one or two clauses out of 148. In the 64th 'clause, it is enacted, that if " any person shall cause, permit, or suffer to he run, rolled, driven, /drawn, or placed upon any foot-way, any car iriage, or any wheel, wheelbarrow, hand-hat row, or truck, or any hogshead, cask, or barrel!' 'he may be seized by any other person at plea sure, dragged before a Justice of the Peace, land subjected to heavy .penalties. Now I will !ask how is any coach-maker, grocer, cheese monger, oilman, tallow-chandler, or almost l any other tradesman, to carry on his business iwithout occasionally passing a wheel, or truck, or cask, from bis shop door over the foot 'way to the carriage-way) He-cannot. But then it is said such trades may be colled on in stable- 1 yards, where there is no toot paventeot. Even ; D I ;this refuge, however, the Paving Act pursues them. The new street-making,; projects are breaking up a ;great many stable-yards, and the Commissioners of ;Pavement in one parish, at least, by virtue of their authority, prohibit the re-establishment of 'new stables, or coach-liouses, , on the site of, or in lieu of the old ones—thus, while one opera tion of the Act increases the demand, another narrows the supply. The consequence of this already is, and will be much more to enhance the rents of places' where carriages may be de imited. The owners of the remaining stable 'yards will thus be enabled to exact oxorbitan' rents, to exclude compethitM, and consequently to combine, monopolize, and impose their own lettus on the public. The stabling trade, like thr beer trade, drawn within the vowel-,of licensing ;Justices, will thus fall under the grasp of favoured connections, and the tradesman requiring room for his trucks and carts, and the gentleman fat his horses or carriages, will alike be subjected to inconvenience and expence. But these injuries affect only a part of the po-, !pplation of the metropolis. The next clause ens ;braces the whole ; it enacts, that it, " any person (shall cause to be set or placed in or upon, or °Vet, : any carriage or foot-way, any timber, stones, &c or any other matters or things whatsoever," tiel 111011 be subject to a penalty of forty shillings to' 'he first offence, and five pounds for every subse- 1 quent offence. Now our umbrellas are matter► or things, our walking•sticks are matters or things, our feet are matters or things—and if to s,iye the expellee of 51. whenever they have occasion t( " set" a foot upon the " foot-way," the inge nious inhabitants of the metropolis were to device means of carrying on their atrairs with out touching the " root-way," as by flos'iog. Wrong') the air in balloons, or otherwise, the Act would still follow them, for plttcing matter or thing "orer" the " foot-way." I think 'urther extracts from this precious specimen ol monern legislation are unnecessary to sliew ;liar its anises most Writ be taken literally, nor with. out the context " ouissinces nr obstructions." I am, Sir, &c. A MAGISTRATE FOR NIIDDLESEX. On Sonday last some hundreds, of children frorn the Radical Union &hoot, paraded through ral ot Our principal streets; the greatest part ot; the boys having- white hats on, and headed by lionse ivell 7 l nown characters. Thus it appears the bn2ke is not killed, only scotched ; ,tor whilst thej children are purposely trytined up in defiance the existing lows, i►o good Can be expected. (Manchester Mercury).

(RXPRRI2S FROM PARIS.) It is with the deepest grief and indignation tha we communicate this fatal intelligence to the pub lic. The Duke de BERRY was stabbed as he came out of the Opera last Sunday night, giving, his arm to the Duchess, who was entirely covered with her unfortunate husband's blood. A wretch,l whose name is not yet known, waited their ap•i proach to their carriage, and nnsoftened by any m inuch of humanity, which under such circuml "stances might h a ve m a d e a commo n assassin l spare the husband for the take of his broom: 'wife, struck him in the right side with a point :rd instrument, something in the shape (from the description given) of a long and triangular dagger. The Palace was immediately taken into an adjoining room, and MONSIEUR, his father, the Duke and the Duchess d'ANGotnema, hastened to: hint. Some professional men, who were at the Opera, also attended immediately, and on looking t his wound, declared that it was not mortal —, IThis pleasing opinion, we lament to state, was un- tounded. We know from private Elf counts. that is Royal Highness expired at sik' o'clock the ttext morning. All Paris, as well as the King, the. Royal Family, and the Ministers, were plunged in affliction and alarm. The Duchess of BeaRS is, we believe, in a state of pregnancy, and there is no doubt that she was made a witness to her husband's death, in the hope that so tretnendons • is shock would bring on an untimely tk,liirbey . , and ctit, off the last 'possibility of her giving a succes 'sor, in the direct line, to the Throne of the Boutt-' 'BONS. The assassin has been arrested, and his frial will probably reveal the authors of this bor: rible The following are the pa icutars contained in • 'the Journal des Dehals of Mooday last, which we ,have received by express from driS " Postscript—twelve o'clock at night (Sunday). " A frightful crime has this night filled the ca !piial with alarm and consternation. His Royal Highntss the puke -cle Berry; had. attended the representations 'of the Opera with. his august Duchess. At bag-past eleven o'clock, a few nii owes before the conclusion of the ballet, the ,Prince and :the Princess left the house, and were A man (preparing to enter their carriage. Insonster, watched this moment. He approaches the Duke, who gave his arm to the Duchess, ant 'stabbed him in the right aide with a pointed in• strument, which is commonly called a curies or tire-pointe. The blood gushed out instantly, and he unfortunate Princess, whose situation we dial not at tempt to describe, was covered with it. Thy 'Prince wis carried into one of the rooms of the , Administration, where some professional gentle• men, who had not \ yet left the theatre, hastened to is assistance. On seeing the wound, they declare( that it was not mortal*: A few minutes after, Monsieur and the Duke and Duchess of An.' gouletne arrived. It will easily be conceived, r. 'hat under the first impression of so terrible an event, it is our duty to confine ourselves to a rela:ion of facts, and our profound sorrow will serve as an apology for any disorder which utav appear in our statement, "'Tie assassin is a man between 36 and 40 years of age. He was secured immediately." 1 Unfortunately be died at six o'clock the next morning. We were yesterday perfectly correct in pro onncing the floating tumour of the resignation ,t Ministers as totally unfounded. It is stated, and probably with truth, that a project bad been l incliscreetly submitted to his Majesty from an itn linthorised quarter, which at first appeared feasi-, Me, but which,. upon a full discussion by the an-! 411orised Advisers of tiie Crown, was decided upon 1,15 ; and .that upon a subject Deressa . rily involving many complicated' considerations or expediency, and right, and law, his Majesty ac quiesced .in the opinion of his Ministers. Thus mere discussion as to a measure which was, prima firrie plausible, and turned out on consi deration impracticable, was conjured up into an irreconcileable division between his Majesty and iiis Ministers, and stated to have occasioned the deierMinatioo of the latter to resign Heir several Offices.=;---(lbid.) probable ihßt the formed.

To the 'agitation of his tisind and spirits, on learning the approaching !dissolution of his venerated Parent, was principal- ~ py to be attributed the alarming - aspect, which his ' :late illness so rapidly assumed ; and surely no : person of any party (unless it be •one who baq thrown off all regard to public decency, and all care for the life of his Sovereign) could wantonly ~ provoke a struggle, which by creating a new un easiness its his Majesty's mind, may most seriously affect his bodily constitution. • .m.i N !' ft, 1:47 [PRI CV SEVENPENCE. lr ate at most but imperfectly in- 'LI is something like absurdity in a :, 1 the detail of secret o ffi cial corn-, ,veen the Ki n g and his Ministers C r grea:est delicacy can be sect,- irely known to the Editor s of a • int opposition to Government : hand it is really trea:iug the Pub- to assert, that " nothing what- to AT. afford even the semblance at plausibility to these reports." lave been deliberations on those #, t might be proper to adopt, his Majesty's Accession, to the 3 reasonable to suppose that on PROVINCIAL JOURNALS. while the Minister was preaching the Funeral Ser mon on his late much-beloved Makst - y, in Simi vent' statements of two r.spectable " JoUrflals.----ft'" el ' 'some villains g ot into the a rea, and rais, d Our ditty to, th e p u bli c wou ld not suffer us to 'tti false /damn: of tire, which threw the congrega dissemble Out knowledge chat such rionouts — wele ti"" into such contusion that several of the ," 1 : 1 `'lows were ()rotten, and many persons severely in atloat ; hut we shall certainly not follow the ex- . in speaking, lured in endeavouring to get out.

Now, matk hoW a plait) rale shall put down both it and its Worthy associate the Evening Post:-- !Some time ago, it was ascertained that a plan wa ,, [ingeniously laid by the Ribbonmen, to acquire ;such a knowledge of the secret words by which the Members of the Orange Association‘ recognise each other; as would enable them to pounce upon them singly and unawares, and so rob or remove these terrible stumbling blocks in the way of dis , !loyalty. A knowing hand was selected fur the bn'iness, who, after playing the hypocrite, and ,the Protestant, in the Couoty of Cavan, where Ithe fixed himself in the capacity /of a Ma- I' son, for above a year ; and bring besides a Freemason, did actually succeed in gaining ; admission into an Orange Lodge, when on caking the usual Oaths, the words were commu nicated to him.—litim-foll of the Mighty disco very, this "• mischief-making Papist,"• thank ;the Jew for teaching me the s words) returned' to his employer, and having, we presume, got !absolution from his Oath, or not thinking taith was to be kept wi h ,heretics, imme diately set about communicating to his fellow labourers in the vineyard of treason the mode !of springing upon their unprepared neighbours, ;and robhing them of their arms and their baffle this device, a. change in the words became indispensably necessary, and it has been judiciously and quietly effected, and miscreants have been disappointed of their prey...

This fact—this glorious tact, is fully corroborated by the abuse showered upon the institution by every "Rebell, by whatever name he assumes, and by every Paper which is weak or avicked enough to become the advocate of hinvand his treason.
