In Portugal, France, and England, the struggles carried on among public men, under the guise of patriotism, are strugg!es for office ; but in Spain we find weeks el:piing while the Ministerial departments are a-beg ging for persons to fill them. The REGENT, in fact, ha.s experienced the greatest difficulty in forming his Amy( Cabinet, which, notwithstanding the time left for deliberation, is still wanting in elements of strength. A telegraphic despatch front the panish capital of the 17th inst., apprises us that the ntw Ministry had then been formed, and that it consisted of General RoDIL, count ALMODOVAR, and Senors ZUMALACARREGUY, BA3/ON, CALATRAVA. CASSAZ, and TORRES SOLANET. Most of these Ministers have been already tried, and found wan:iiig. AL7IODOVAR, CALATRAVA, and Zli- MALACARREGEY, are respwctable names undoubtedly, but none of them are men of such commanding intellect as are required by the present energies of Spain. Ilwatrrections are breaking out in several provinces, and there is every prospect of another summer being con sumed in civil wars. On the 16th inst., a mob paraded the principal streets of Barcelona, shouting for the Con stitution of 1812. They were charged by a body cf cavalry and dispersed. Another mob proclaimed the Constituti( n of 1812, at Figueras, in Catalonia and was also attacked and dispersed by the mi litary. Large bodies of' troops were concentrating around Ma4rid, which was strongly garrisoned. Dis alfectibn was general, and the people were. ready to adopt al a remedy fur their distresses the evils which occa sioned them, namely, another resort to arms. ESPAR rEno's exalted position is far from being an enviable one. No Sovereign in Europe has a more difficult task to per form than the REGENT of Spain. The Carlists, the Christinos, the Republicans, are all his enemies, and these abound among all classes in the Peninsula. Like every nation who snaps the bonds of tyranny, without gradu ally unloosing them, as we have done in England, the Sptraiards are running wild, and injuring themselves, be 'Mutsu they have not learned to make a judicious use of freedom. The REGENT committed a fatal error in sanctioning such rigorous prosecutions of the inferior clergy. had he ki:own how to have made a proper use of the services of there men, and taken only ordinary means to obtain them, there would be less discontent in Spain, and no disposi tioli to have again recourse to the sword. Dut by pro secuting them he made them objects of pity, and there is on sentiment which it is the duty of every Government to be more careful not to have felt for the foes of thy State. 'Whatever be a man's faith, or even if he have no faith at all, provided he has been educated in the professio.l of one, the sufferings of a priesthood will move him to compassio❑ sooner 'am the same evils, if endured by the laity. The REGENT was therefore manifestly wron g in wantonly courting the hostility of the priesthood. To strip them of their overgrown wealth and power was iust, and Spain applauded it, but not so the prosecution of them before Courts of Law for exercising the Inuit inofknsive to all Governments of their spiritual functions without seeking a recognition sf right from the civil authorities. The ob- Eervanee of the Canon Law in the mere matter of celebrating mass was surely enough to require in Spain from a priest not demanding to be supported by the ttitate. Governments should never attempt what it is impossible for them to accomplish—much less what, in addition to being impossible, must raise up against them a host of invisible but active enemies. When the RE tEST seized the Church property he got possession of the ,•olcle'n egg, and might have listened unmoved to the gabble of the goose. The offiee of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland may be useful to the people of DuUlm, and the Castle may be found a w ry convenient alining-place for the nobility and gentry of that country, but, in other respects, it is of no service whatever to the country. We have reason to believe that duritig the interregnum which now exists no ap p intments whatever are to be made without re ference to the Supreme Government here, and if this system is a:opted for one week or one month, we cannot see why it may not be continued for the wh3lo year. At present nearly all the leading men are absent from Dublin. Lord DE GREY is about to start fur Germany, the LORD CHANCELLOR is in England, Lord ELIOT, and the RECORDER, and the LORD MAYOR are attending to their duties as Members of Parliament, and affairs appear to be conducted during their absence with as much regularity, and certainly with fewer personal disputes, than when they have all assem bled in the Irish capital. .In fact, the LORD LIEUTE NANT, unless he happen to be a man endowed with gound judgment, and exempt from political prejudices, a -rare circumstance, does more harm than good. He favours one party, and consequently gives offence to another ; and, from residing on the spot, has great difficulty in avoiding an appearance of partiality, so in jurious both to his influence and the good government Of the country- Affairs in Scotland, without a Lord Lieutenant, arc much better conducted than those of the s;;t, r island ; and we cannot, therefore, see why the san e law should not apply to both. Intelligence from the two capitals can be conveyed to Lon don in the same time; the laws of Ireland are simihrr to those of England, they have the same Church establishment, and other similar institutions, While in Scotland the reverse is the case. Were Ireland go,•...rned in the same way, there would not only be a s vieg of needless expense, but the union between the :,,c , countries would every day become more consolidated. From. the tone of the French Liberal Journals of Sunday we augur that their party has a poor chance at the ensuing elections. 'The Liberals are the war party, consequently it is plain that war is popular only among the demagogues of Paris. This is, indeed, most gratify ing intelligence.' A great quantity of rain fell in Paris on Sunday to the dololl of the parched inhabitants. On Saturday the KING, who appeared in excellent ber.l:4l, accompanied by Count MONTALIVET, Colonels D'Es - rtssAt; and CHABANNES (Aides-de-Camp), and his architects, Messirs. FuNT.tINE and CAILLEU X, left Neuilly for Versailles at two o'clock P.M. His MAJESTY .stopped at St. Cloud, where he inspected the works in iiro: s jess of construction. On ruching Versailles, the KING was received by the civil and military uuthoritiew. Ills MAJEstry likewise inspected the alterations and im provements now making in the Palace, and returned to Nettilly at seven o'clock. According to a Mini,terial journal of this morning, Spain is in a v4ilent crisis. Lanege, the chief of Espartero's staff, en &avows to restore the Constitution of 1812; the Carlis's agilin show themselvess in th norther provinces; in short, the iv: h e i a v t a c s li t e c i o o r , i f u u r s e t i on o a f n d anarchy Louis prevail inshtohwatuunhappy all country.thee evils are to be ascribe d to the fatal influence of the doctrin a ir es ,- of chant M.

FOREIGN. An English packet-boat has arrived at Marseilles from In dia, with despatches for the Government. A British officer, who came passenger by her, started, immediately on her arrival, for England. - An extraordinary express from Paris announces that a Re public was proclaimed at Figueras (Catalonia) on the 17th. A second express informs us that the movement was almost im mediately suppressed. It was reported in Paris on Monday (yesterday) that a so ciety of 6,000 Republicans had been formed in Lampererdan, having for it s leader Abdon Terrados, who was ill at Perpignan. On the 16th inst. some dissurbances occurred at Barcelona, which led to no serious resu.ts, but fears were entertained that tranquillity would not be preserved. The Carlist bands were becoming more numerous, and had appeared in the neighbourhood of Barcelona. A Cabinet courier arrived on Sunday morning from St. Pc tersburgh, with despatches for the French Government, which were instantly taken to M. Gulot, at Auteuil. Sunday's Moniteur contains a Royal ordonnance, prolong ing !he provisions of the decree of the Bth of December, 1839, in favour of the tariff of the French Antillas. The principal change is in the permission granted for shippers of foreign merchandise in French entrepots to pay the duties, in order to enter into consumption in the French colonies at the colonial custom-houses, instead of France. Teneriffe and :Madeira wines are to be admitted at Martinique and Guadeloupe at a duty of 60f. per hectolitre, instead of the former one of 100 f. Prohibited merchandise may be admitted to be banded in the Antillas. The Bayonne Sentinelle des Pyrenees, of the 16th, calls for the interference of the Government for an insult on the French flag by a search made by a Spanish gun-boat which left the port of Fuenterabia, and searched a French boat off the port of St. Jean de Luz (France.) The cause of the "right of visit" is not explained. The Marseilles Papers of the 16th contain an account of the burning of an American merchant-vessel, the Louisa, which might have been attended with serious results to the numerous ships crowding the port. The fire was the work of an incen drary, the steward of the vessel, a native of Manilla, who, having been put in confinement for robbing the captain of nearly 800 Mexican dollars, in revenge threw phosphoric matches amongst some inflammable materials. The villain subsequently threw himself into the river, but was taken out, landed, and sent to prison for trial. Fortunately the fire was discovered in time, and the vessel was towed by a steamer out of the port, when it was got under in an hour, the damage being confined to the hold. A great meeting of Kings and Potentates will take place on the Rhine in autumn. The Emperor of Russia will attend. PARLIAMENTARY. The Lords did not meet yesternay. In the Commons Captain Berkeley inquired whether it were ' true that the ship's company of the Pique had been paid their wages in light sovereigns, and Sir G. Cockburn assured him that the statement was unfounded. This was reiterated in the course of the evening, and we hope, for the honour of the Go vernment, that the tale is not true. It is more likely that the sailors were imposed on by some of their usual friends. Sir J. Graham announced that he should introduce a Re gistration Bill for England this Session, but not think of pass ing it. Sir R. Peel stated that the Government would not introduce a Registration Bill for Ireland this year. Poor Lord Stanley, how his zeal against perjury has evaporated. Mr. C. Buller brought the light sovereigns, and the procla mation concerning them, under the notice of the House, which provoked Mr. Goulburn and Sir Robert Peel to enter into a lame defence of their conduct. The motion ended in nothing, except the information given by the Chancellor of the Exche quer, that any person refusing to receive the legal coin of the realm is liable to imprisonment. Many persons would be amazingly glad to have the opportunity of refusing it. The House was engaged for the remainder of the evening about the Poor law. The motion to go into Committee was opposed by Gel. Sibthorp, Mr. Ferrand, and ethers, who divided twice, resisting the motion. Both divisions gave large majori ties in favour of proceeding with the Bill, and the House went into Committee, but resumed without making any progress. The House ro-e at Quarter to One. IYZONEIC --TILADM—COIVIIVIETZCE. It is expected that the Eastern Counties Railway will shortly come to completion—the bridge at M'idford, the viaduct at Chelmer, and that over the river Cam are now finishing. At Wolverhampton the depression in the iron-trade Conti. nues with unmitigated severity. Two or three more blast fur.

The personal property is sworn under 140,0001., out of which his niece, Louisa Georgina Parker, has a legacy of 1,0001. bequeathed to her. His Lordship desired to be buried in the old vault at Shinburn, and ordered that no banners or escutcheons should be used at the funeral. FINE AXTS. The Jacob Ruysdael, farming part of the Lichfield House I sale, and which was esteemed the masterriece of that painter, was yesterday sold to Mr. Bond for 250 guineas. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. A collection of fortification models, executed by Captain Jekyll, late of the Grenadier Guards, and exhibiting the dif ferent systems of Carnot, Chnumara, Bardwine, Vauban, &c., has just been added to the Rbyai Polytechnic Institution. THEATRICAL. A numerous and fashionable company visited the St. James's Theatre last night, to witness the performance of Mons. Bouffe in Les Enfans des Troupe. Millie. Rachel performed the character of Hermione in A 11, dromaque last night at the Italian Opera House. She was received, as usual, with enthusiastic applause. COU.e.T-FASKIOATAILLE. The Right Hon. C. W. Wynn and family left town on Sun day by the steam-ship Ratavier, for Rotterdam and the Rhine. Hiss Burdett Coutts' ball last night was one of the most brilliant assemblies of the season. The Marquis and Iftrchioness of Ely gave a large dinner , party yesterday. MISCELLANEOUS. The Spitalfields Ball at her Majesty's Theatre realised 1,000/., and the whole disbursements amounted to 2,2001., of which 1,8001. was expended in remodelling the theatre. 11,17M0U1L3 or TH DAY. Strict orders have been given at the castle, Dublin, with a view to control the " Orange Managers," that no appointment of the slightest consequence is to be made without reference to the Home Office. EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESS, EXTRA INDIAN MAIL, The long-expected extra Indian Mail arrived at Mar seilles on Tuesday morning' at six o'clock. It is said to have brought no news. A British officer, the bearer of despatches, left Mar seilles immediately, for London via Paris. An insurrectionary movement took place at Barcelona on the 16th instant. The mob attacked the prison wit h cries of " Viva la Republica," but were dispersed by a charge of cavalry. Tranquillity was completely restored. A telegraphic despatch from Madrid, dated the 17th instant, announces the formation of the Ministry : RAH, Minister of War and President of the Council ; Almadova, Foreign Affairs ; Zurnalacarregui, Justice ; Ramon Calatrava, Finance ; Capaz, Marine ; Torres Solanet, Interior.

This forenoon at eleven o'clock, Mr. Wakley, M.P., Coroner for the Western Division of Middlesex, and a most respectable Jury, assembled in the large room of the Sutton Arms Tavern, Chalk-road, Islingtcn, on view of the body of Martha Carter, aged thirty-nine, who was found in a well, in Mr. Backing - - ham's rope ground, 155 feet deep, with very dreadful injuries to the head, and serious bruizes on other parts of the body, on the morning of Monday last. Several witnesses were examined, and among the rest Joseph Carter, husband of the deceased, who stated that he last saw his wife alive between one and two o'clo , .:k on Monday morn ing in bed. She had been very ill, and he missed her shortly after five. He then searched for her and finding the well much broken, he had suspicions that she had fallen down there. She was very bad in her head and mind for some time, and was at tended by Mr. Taylor, of Kin g ' s Cross. Sarah Carter, niece to the deceased, proved that the de ceased was in a bad state of mind, and after some further con sideration, the Jury returned a verdi c t —" That the deceased destroyed herself, oeing in a state of unsound mind, and that t h ere was not the slightest suspicion attached to the husband of the deceased." Miss CHAMBERS 'S CONCERT.— This lady, daughter of the late banker, gives her morning con cert to - morrow, at her Majesty's theatre , and brings together a richer display of o vocal talent than any co ncert of the , season has y et aggregated, or set forth.

Of the itistru-: mmtahsts, Mrs. Anderson plays a fantasia on th e p i ano, and D'Espourt in another on the harp . Miss Chamber s h erse lf s i ngs some of her sweetest melodies , which w i ll f o rm not the least exquisite part of the entertainment. It is with tru e delight we observe so many great names coming forward with their generous assistance to aid Miss Chambers, who, together with her family,_vrcruld no 'doubt at tLis tittle have been in the en. joyment of much better fortunes, had her father been allowed to manage his own affairs. We hope that the handsome treat she on this occasion sets before the public will meet with as i handsome a return. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING-, JUNE 21, 1842 L ANA% INTEL LIG ENCE. I COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. • , Last night the German Company performed, for the first time in this country, Meyerbeer's opera, The Huguenots; and if an overflowing house, an attentive audience, and repeated and enthusiastic applause, be the test of a composer's and the vocal and instrumental performers' merit, then we may indeed say that Meyerbeer is a great composer, and that Messdames Lutzer and Heinefetter, and Messrs. Staudigl, Mellinger, Breiting, &c., are unrivalled in their art, for the house was crowded to excess, and we never heard more constant and rap turous applause. But it appeared to us a great part of the au dience came ready prepared to admire, as if the fiat had gone forth that Meyerbeer's Huguenots was an admirable composi tion, which every person of taste must admire, and thus every individual derived an additional impulse in the rap ture of his neighbours. When compared to the scenery and all the other accessories to theatrical representation hitherto employed by the German Company, the scenery and embellish ments prepared for the Huguenots was indeed splendid, and so far justice was done to this opera, hitherto unknown to an English audience. Fraulein Lutzer, the new star from Vienna, our old favourite Heinefetter, and the ever new and ever delightful Staudigl, could not fail to do justice to any music they might undertake to sing. But here our praise of individual performers must stop. Herr Breiting, the new tenor, can never be a fit or pleasing ErsterLeibhaber. It is true he sings with taste, and his falsetto is sweet, but his singing wants vigour and expression ; and then his figure, his whole appearance is as unsu ted to the part of Raoul, or indeed of any lover, as can possibly be conceived. Herr Mellinger ( delightful as Papageno) is not capable of representing the fiery, energetic conspirator, who, by his strong mind, induces others to follow where he leads. Thus all the points necessary to bring out the story, and put something like coherence into the disjointed mass —for such the opera is—were lost on the audience. Fraulein Lutzer well deserves the epi thet " Nightingale," which her countrymen have bestowed on her, and she delivered the endless flowery pas sages in her two great scenes with a flexibility of voice we never heard excelled except by Sontag. She acts well, and with her coquettish archness and goodnature, gave a glimpse of the character she represented (Marguerite tie Valois). Heinefetter sang delightfully; and Staudigl appeared to greater advantage than ever in the first scene; indeed his Hymn (Luther's Hymn) was grand, and the following battle song, so characteristic, so almost savagely expressive, that it reminded us at once of Balfour of Burleigh, the very best proof of his correctly representing the character. Thus much of the per formers. The music is so much admired and praised, that we are almost afraid to say that we cannot give it unqualified praise. It contains some exquisitely beautiful passages and airs, but its grand and overwhelming fault, the constatnt striving after effect, and seeking atter new combinations of sound, causes those beauties to be obscured, and all admiration to be absorbed in a feeling of painful fatigue and exhaustion. The instrumentation is generally noisy, and only now and then, as in the introduction to the second act, do we recognise the hand of the great composer. It is impossible to give an outline of the plot, as the opera has no story, but con sists of a series of scenes representing events occurring imme diately before and during the Massacre of St. Bartholomew, in the last of which the three principal characters are slain. The only idea we could trace throughout the whole opera, was an attempt by the composer to represent the character of the two opposing re ligious parties by means of music, but the confusion which prevails through the whole, and the noisy character of the music, which proved to us quite overwhelming, did not perhaps allow us to do the opera justice. While attempting to do too much, we think, Meyerbeer has not even done as much as he might do; but if, after a ss•cond hearing, we should find cause to alter our opinion we will not fail to inform our readers. CHANCERY COURT-(T HIS DAY.) This being the first Seal after Trinity Term, the LORD CHANCELLOR sat in Linco:n's Inn-hall, and took appeal motions. QUARRIER V. COULSON. The arguments in this part-heard case were resumed and con cluded to-day. The Loan CHANCELLOR said he must carefully read over the affidavits before he gave judgment. ROLLS'COURT—(THIS DAY.) Lord LANGDALE sat to-day in Chancery-lane, and disposed of some motions of an uninteresting nature. VICE-CHANCERY.-(TH I S DAY.) The VIOE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND took notices to-day, it being the first Seal after Trinity Term. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) The Co U RT sat in Banco this morning, and heard arguments in cases in the new trial paper. None of the cases were of any importance except to the parties concerned. BAIL. COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE QUEEN V. SMYTH. This was an indictment preferred by the Commissioners of Police against the detendant, one of the brothers of the Prince's of Capua, and Lady I)inorben, for an alleged indecent assault upon Police-constable Morrison, of the C division, on the night of the 17th of February. The proceedings had been removed by a writ of certiorari into this Court. The Attorney-General, Mr. Pollock, and Mr. Waddington, conducted the ease for the prosecution, and Mr. Platt and Mr. Bodkin appeared for the defendant. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL at some length stated the case, the substance of which has appeared in The Sun. Several witnesses were called, whose evidence supported the statement of the Attorney-general. Mr PLATT, after a powerful address to the jury, called the following witnesses. His Grace the Duke of Beaufort—l have bees acquainted with the defendant between two and three years. I have been in the constant habit of meeting him in society, and his charac ter is irreproachable. The defendant was introduced to me by his Royal Highness Prince Capua. Lord William Somerset—l have known the defendant be tween three and four years; have repeatedly met him in so ciety. His character for morality is of the highest order. The Earl of Chichester—l have known the defendant fifteen years; his habits and character, during that period, has been irreproachable. I believe him incapable of acting as has been stated. Sir Colin Hackett—l have known the defendant six years, and, during that time, both in his moral and professional duties, his conduct has been unimpeachable. The Hon. Mr. Callahan gave similar evidence. Sir H. W. Barron, M.P.—I have known the defendant 20 years, and during that long period his character has been irre proachable and most strictly moral. Captain Ogle—l have known the defendant 20 years, and have met him in various situations in life. The defendant, when a boy, was attacked with a nervous affection, and he always, when he speaks, puts his hand upon the person he is address ing. lam convinced he is unconscious of so acting. The Rev. C. Wetherell gave similar evidence. The Duke of Beaufort and the other witnesses corroborated Capt. Ogles' evidence as to the defendant's habit of catching hold of the hand of those he addressed. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN summed up the evidence. The Jury retired, and upon their return, they found the verdict of Net Guilty, with the following addendum : " The Jury mere unanimous in their verdict of Not Guilty, and that not the slightest stain attaches itself to the defendant, nor do they blame the conduct of the prosecutor, the police constable, but they think that he acted from misconception." The verdict appeared to give unusual satisfaction to a most crowded Court. SURREY T HEATRE. The opera season at this theatre commenced last evening with Bellini's beautiful opera of Sonnambula, Miss Homer resuming her old part of Amnia, Harrison making his fit st bow to the Surrey audience as Elvino, and Leffler and Mrs. Serle being the Count Rodolpho and Lisa. The chorus was admirable, and the orchestra. under the efficient direction of George Stansbury, was all that could be desired. Miss Homer was in excellent voice, and never sung or acted better. Her finale, "Ah ! do not mingle one human feeling," was a perfect tri umph. Harrison bids fair to become a great favourite on the Surrey side of the water. He was loudly ap plauded throughout, and was rapturously encored in the beautiful air of " Still so gently o'er me stealing." He has evidently taken great pains with the part, and well deserved the applause which he received. Leffler's fine rich barytune notes told with admirable effect in the ex quisite scena in the first act, "Again I view now." He was loudly and deservedly applauded, and nothing but the length of the scena prevented an encore. At the fall of the curtain Miss Homer was called for, and led forward by Harrison and Leffler, to receive that applause which she so justly merited. At the conclusion of the opera " God save tile Queen " was sung by the whole company, Miss Romer, Mrs. Scrie, Miss E. Terrey, Mr. Harrison, and Mr. Leffler sustaining the solo parts. A ballet, entitled The Pupil qf Love, followed, and the evening's entertainments con cluded with Leman Rede's popular drama of Jack in the Water, in which that promising actress, Miss E. Terrey made her first apppearance before a Surrey audience as Betty. George Wild was Jack, and with Miss Terrey went "splashing along" in grand style. The applause was vociferous, and well deserved. Miss Ter rey is, in her line, certainly the most rising actress of the day ; we cannot but observe, and observe with de light, the marked improvement which has taken place in her acting within the last twelvemonth. The scene re presenting Waterloo-fridge, which was such a hit at the Olympic, was equally well managed here. We are happy to announce that Waterloo-bridge has crossed over the river without sustaining any damage. The Surrey view of the Bridge is quite equal to the Middlesex one. The house was crowded to excess, and before the com mencement of the second act of We opera, it was difficult to obtain even standing room. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERIES. Mentor., Jules 20.—The neighbourhood of Bristol has within the last three days been the scene of some of the most daring highway robberies, acompanied with violence, that have been committed of late years in the entire kingdom. The whole of these robberies have also evidently been perpetrated by the same persons, an organized gang of ruffians consisting of seven persons, three .or four of whom are armed with large horse-pis tols, and who have attacked farmers and others on their return from market, within even a single mile of this city, at as early an hour of the night as 10 o'clock in the public road, and in the most daring manner. The first of these robberies was com mitted on Friday night, on the person of a professional gentle man of Bristol, Mr. Francis Edwards, about two miles from Bristol, on his return to his residence at Redland, about a mile from Cote-house, Westbury. Mr. Edwards had not proceeded further than about one-eighth of a mile before, as he caree oppo site a place called Henleeze-lane, he saw two men sitting down whom he had noticed following;him at a previous part of the even ing. Not having any suspicion, Mr. Edwards proceeded, and when he had gone a little farther, three other men jumped sud denly out of the hedge, one of whom placed a pistol to his mouth, and the other two a pistol to each side of his head, threatening to shoot him if he made the least noise or offered the slightest resistance. Mr. Edwards then observed that the other two men whom he had seen following him had joined the party. Finding that the least attempt at resistance must prove fatal to him, Air. Edwards quietly submitted, when they pro ceeded to rile his pockets of his pure, containing four or five sovereigns and some silver, and of his gold watch, which being suspended by a guard chain, they found some difficulty in getting off, and twisted its chain violently round his throat, so as almost to produce strangulation. After they had thus robbed him, they marched for some distance by his side, still holding their pistols to his head, and threatening to shoot him if he gave any alarin. When they got on a favourable part of Durdham-down they suddenly darted off in different ways. Mr. Edwards im mediately ran back as fast as he could to Cote-house, and in formed Mr. Ricketts of the robbery, when that gentleman, who is in the Commission of the Peace for the county, immediately sent out his servants and raised the neighbourheod in pursuit of the highwaymen, but unfortunately without success. Mr. Edwards has offered a reward of 20/. for their apprehension. On Thursday night, a waggoner of Stoke, about three miles from Bristol, was driving along in his waggon, when he was stopped by evidently the same gang of fellows, two of whom placed themselves at the horses' heads, while the of hers jumped into the waggon and proceeded to rifle his pockets, but, fortu nately, the sound of an approaching carriage being heard, they made off. On Saturday night the same gang perpetrated one of the most daring robberies we have ever heard of, accompanied with the most brutal violence, within a mile of Bristol, on the ilorfield road, The following ate the particulars :—A Mrs. Cellard, the wife of a respectable farmer at Aldermondsbury, five miles, from Bristol, was returning home in her covered cart, on Saturday night from the Bristol mar ket, accompanied by Mr. Smith, a carpenter, of Aldmonds bury, who was driving, Mr Smith's son and a young woman sitting behind. On al riving near the first milestone five men suddenly jumped out of the hedge, two ran to the horse's head, a third pointed a pistol at them in the cart, and the other two, who were also armed with pistols, got into the cart and demanded their money or their lives. They then dragged Airs. C ]lard and Mr. Smith out of the cart in the moat violent manner, and having thrown them on the ground proceeded to rifle their pockets. Having robbed them, they beat them about the heads and faces with the butt-ends of their pisto's until they ceased to move, being reduced to a state of total insensibility, and no doubt being thought dead by their assailants. Mr. Smith's son jumped out of the cart, and, fall ing on hie knees, begged them not to murder his father; they then beat him in a similar manner, and having left them all lying in the road, made off. The sufferers were in a short time afterwards found by some persons coming up the road ; they were removed to their re sidence, where they still lie in the most dangerous state. Mrs. Collard has her teeth beaten out, with some very severe con tused wounds of the face and head. Mr. Smith is so beaten about the head that he has lain in a state of perfect insensibility ever since, and scarcely the slightest hope can be entertained of his recovery. On the same evening two labouring men, who were return ing from market on the same road were stopped and robbed, end beaten by the same five men. As the men attempted some slight resistance, owe of the robbers attempted to fire his pistol at them, but it fortunately flashed in the pan. They were then robbed of their earnings and sonic groceries they had pur chased. The poor fellows were then beaten about the head with the butt-ends of the pistols and thrown into a ditch. * The five robbers are described as follows :—Three of thee , are short men wearing smock-frocks, with Jim Crow hats ; the other two are dressed like navigators, and have high black hats. The police are using the most strenuous exertions for their rehension. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Henry King, 29, was indicted for burglariously entering the dwelling-house of Samuel Edwards Poulett, and stealing there. from fifteen f arks, four spoons, and other articles. From the evidence, it appeared that the wife of the prosecutor, with her sister, left the house in Church-row, St. Pancras, on the afternoon of the 7th June last. They did not return till hrlf-past eleven o'clock at night. Mrs. Poulett had opened tl.e outer door with a latch key, and was in the act of opening the parlour door, when the prisoner came through the hall from the kitchen. He said to Mrs. Poulett, "Don't you know me—don't he alarmed." He went out through the hall door, upon which they gave an alarm, and a person of the name of Marshall observed the prisoner cre'ping under the palings, en deavouring to escape. Marshall called out to him, upon which he ran away. Afar,hall followed him, and after he had pro ceeded some distance, the prisoner dropped a bundle, which, on examination, was found to contain the property named in the indictment. Alarshall continued his pursuit, upon which the prisoner turned round, and knocked him down. Marshall how ever got up and again pursued the prisoner, and at length cap tured and gave him into custody. The LEARNED JUDGE summed up the evidence, and the Jury at once returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to transportation for life. Mr. Baron GURNEY then addressed the witness, John Mar shall, and said the Court entertained the highest sense of the courage and manliness which he had displayed under circum stances of considerable physical disparity, as the prisoner was a very powerful man, and the Court had therefore determined to mark their approbation of his conduct by ordering him a re vi and of 5/. The witness respectfully thanked the Court and retired. AN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.— Thomas Fountain, aged 37, a baker, was indicted for unlawfully attempting to commit self destruction. Policeman, R 163, stated that on the 6th June last, at about an hour after midnight, he saw the prisoner in the Greenwich road with a bottle in his hand. He was sitting down, and ap peared in a desponding state ; the witness went up to him, and asked what he was drinking, but he made no answer. Wit ness then took the bottle from him, and found it to be labelled ._ . laudanum and poison. Witness asked the prisoner if he had taken what had been in the bottle, and he said that he had. and he expected to get rid of the troubles of the world ; and if be did not do co then, he would cut his throat or drown himself. Witness took hi►n into custody. When he was at the station house a surgeon was sent for and the stomach-pump applied, and a quantity of laudanum taken,from his stomach. The prisoner said, in his defence, that he did not intend to kill himself. He had been for a long time afflicted with rheu matic gout, and he was in the habit of taking laudanam for it. On the day in question he had walked to Greenwich, thinking it would de him good. Having having had an attack of the gout that day while at Greenwich, he took a great deal to drink, znd on coming home he bought two-pent.yworth of laudanum, thinking it would take off the effect of the drink. but he had no intention of killing himself ; and he had often taken double the quantity in the space of 24 hours. The Learned JUDGE having summed up the evidence, The Jury acquitted the prisoner. NE W COURT. Thomas Kirby, 43, described as a draper, residing in Beth nal-green, was indicted for stealing a quantity of lace, the pro perty of Messrs. Grocock and Co., of Bew Church-yard. Se veral other indictments charged the prisoner with stealing and receiving, and receiving only. It appeared that Messrs. Pearce and Woodward, of Taunton, had purchased from the prosecutors several parcels of lace. Tne goods were forwarded to the waggon-office, but they never reached their destination. They were at length traced to the possession of the prisoner, who could give no explanation as to how he became possessed of them. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. He was then charged upon other indictments, and the case had not terminated when we went to press. MONEY and COMIIERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The principal feature in the Stock Exchange to-day, is a scarcity of money, which has been currently worth five per cent. The quarter from which this has arisen, has not trans pired, it has, however, had no effect upon the prices of the funds which generally are firmer than yesterday. Consols are 91* 91i for the opening ex div. ; Three per Cents. Re sluced, 9l I 4 911 ; Three-and-a-Half per Cents.

Prices of the others remain as before Mexican is not quoted to-day. The Share market is steady, and a slight improvement has taken place in Brightons, which have been sold at 36, and 'are now 36 1 /s. The other transactions have been Great Western Half Shares, 61i 61k South South Western, 61 ; South Eastern and Dover, 25 ; Eastern Counties, Si 9* ; and Northern and Eastern, 40 41. Beyond the usual daily bargain in Peruvian at 17%, Spanish Bonds are the only others quoted to-day ; the Five per Cents. being marked 21% 22, and the Three per Cents. 23*. The conflicting nature of the intelligence from Spain, which, from Madrid, states that a Ministry had been formed, and the money for the dividend obtained, while, from various provinces, out breaks against the Government arc of dailyoccurrence, appears to have rendered speculators averse to operations.

The arguments used against tl.e proposition, "that the deteriora tion should have been borne by the public," are generally con. sidered to be untenable. The fear expressed, that if the Go vernment had determined to call in and re-issue the gold, great beenrender d otn: e , the prm ersessnhusaal would facility would have been given to fraud, is thought to po , sess but little weight.

The rotunda of the Bank need only be visited to ascertain the effect of the measure in the metropolis, and some approximation may thereby be formed of its opera tion in the country, where it must be more severely felt. In dependently of the loss in money, the loss of time must tr, considerable, and so numerous are the applicants, that it is stated two hours are scarcely sufficient for procuring change. Many persons suspicious of gold are willing to take only silver, and here they are met with another difficulty. Whether from scarcity, or from an unwillingness o part with it, the Bank most obstinately refused to give it in exchange even for their own notes. Amounts as low as five pounds have been denied ; and a party who keeps his account at that establishment has been unable to obtain ten pounds' worth of silver. Altogether the measure is fraught with so much inconvenience, loss, and delay, that an alteration, or in creased facilities are impel atively called for, and when it comes fully into operation the'e serious injuries will be materially in creased. Another evil which presents itself, is the large amount which must necessarily be taken from the circulation. This must, temporarily at least, tend to raise prices. It is said that the officers of the Mint are busily employed ; but if means be not promptly taken to supply the deficiency thus created, serious consequences may be expected to result. LIVERPOOI. COTTON MARKET, JUNE '2O, was dull without any further alteration in prices. 800 bales American, chiefly fair to good fair, were taken fur export, and the entire Ales amounted to 4,000 bales.

A cruel attack upon me, Sir Robert, to attribute all my in terference with the arbitrary proceedings of railroads to per sonal fear. Nothing can be more ungrateful and unkind. I thought only of you and for you, as many Whig gentlemen will bear me testimony, who rebuked me for my anxiety. I said to myself and to them, " Our lovely and intrepid Minister may be overthrown on the rail. The locked door may be uppermost. He will kick and call on the Speaker and Sergeant-at-Arms in vain. Nothing will remain of all his graces, his flexibilities, his fascinating, faeeitious fun, his social warmth ; nothing of his flow of soul, of his dear heavy pleasantry, of his prevailing skill to impart disorderly wishes to the purest heart, nothing will remain of it all hut a heap of ashes for the parish church of Taruworth. He perishes at the moment that he is becoming as powerful in the Drawing-room of Court as in the House of Parliament—at the moment when Hullah (not vriihout hopes of ultimate success) is teaching him to sing, and Melmotte to dance." I have no doubt of your bravery, Sir Robert, though you have of mine ; but then consider what different lives we have led, and what a school of courage is that troop of yeomanry at Tamworth, the Tory Fencibles. Who can doubt of your cou rage who has seen you at their head marching up Pitt-street, through Dundas-square, on to Liverpool-lane, and looking all the while like those beautiful medals of Bellona Frigida and Mars sine Sanguine, the very horses looking at you as if you were going to take away three per cent. of their oats? After such spectacles as these, the account you give of your own courage cannot be doubted. The only little circumstance which I cannot entirely reconcile to the possession of this very high attribute in so eminent a degree, is, that you should have selected for your uncourteous attack enemies who cannot re sent, and a place where there can be no reply. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, SYDNEY SMITH. STRA WBERitY HILL, Yesterday was sold the portion of Horace Walpole's books, having reference to the cla,ses of British and Foreign topo• graphs, architecture, antiquities, coins, gems, and ancient sculpture. The whole obtained good price-, and produced 3001. The most valuable work of the day sold was— . . 1,028.

The history of this celebrated work, generally designated the " Marlborough Gems," is not generally known ; and the fol lowing is partly drawn from Lord Orford's autograph note. " Cabinet of Gems," formerly belonging to Lady Betty Ger maine, and to William Ponsoriby, second Earl of Besborough, formed the collection of George Spencer, third Hulce of Marl borough, and from him were called the Marlborough Gems. Lady Betty Germaine's cabinet was part of the collection of Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel, the distinguished virtuoso, in the time of Charles L • from him the gems descended to his great-grandson, Henry Howard,i Duke of Norfolk ; his Duchess, Lady Mary Alordaunt, being divorced from him, she carried off all the valuables of the Duke's great ancestor, arid they became the property of Sir John Germaine, her second husband ; at his death he bequeathed the guns and other articles of vertu to his second wife, Lady Elizabeth, sister of the Earl of Berkeley. who survived her husband many years. Lady Betty Germaine, the donor to Horace Walpole of Anna Bullin's clock, now the property of her present Majesty, on the marriage of her great niece, Mary Beauclere, daughter of Lord Vere Beauclere, to Lord Charles Spencer, brother to the Duke of Marlborough, wive her the cabinet of the Arundel gems for Lord Charles, her husband, to present to the Duke. Lady Betty Germaine had valued those gems, cameos, and intaglios at 7,0001.; and the Cupid and Pysche, the finest antique' intaglio extant in Europe, at 500/. The acquisition of sueh a cabinet by the Duke of Marlborough caused him to be desirous of obtaining also Lord Besborough's, of which there is a printed catalogue drawn up by Laurence Watter. The Besborough gems were purchased for 5,0001., and from these conjointly drawings were made by Cipriani, and engravings by Bartolozzi. No part of this information has been hitherto made known to the public; as regards the subsequent history of the book full particulars are given in the Bibliographical Catalogue of Books Privately Printed," compiled by Mr. John Martin, librarian to his Grace the Duke of Bedford, at Woburn.

St. James's was crowded from the slips to the stalls, and this excellent actor was loudly applauded. It is a famous little piece, and was announced for repetition. SALABERT'S CONCERT.—A concert was given by M. Salabert, at the Opera Concert-room, yesterday morn ing. Frezzolini was to have sung, but did not appear. Lablache was rich both in pathos and humour. A fan tasia on the national British airs " God save the Queen" and Rule Britannia" was played with great precision and power by a youth named Michael Angelo Russo, who was greatly applauded. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Mademoiselle Rachel performed her Herndone last night, and the same grandeur and propriety that characterised her acting last year, was apparent this, but greater. Without accumulating new traits, she has more clearly defined and wrought eut at the present time the conceptions of her heroine. Mademoiselle Rabut performed the Andromaque, and M. David the Orestes. W. Wordsworth, inn., Esq., has been appointed distributor of stamps for 'the counties of Cumberland and West moreland, in the room of his father, the great poet, who retires upon a pension. VICTORIA THEATRE. • - _ A new three-act drama, entitled The Dream Spectre; or the SLeper's ; was produced at this theatre last cvi ning, with most decided success. It is one of those harrowing tales of murder and domestic misery for the production of which this theatre has become so ce lebrated. Miss Vincent as the heioine, (Ruth Raby), was most touching. In the scene in which she goes mad when she hears that her lover is apprehended on a charge of murder, her acting was fearfully true t.) na ture. The denouement of the drama is brought about by supernatural means, by the raising of the Dream I Spectre, who forces the real a urderer to confess his guilt, and thus saves the life of Henry Spritsail (Mr. E. Saville), Ruth's lover. The appearance of the Dream Spectre was very cleverly managed by means of Mr. Child's machinery for producing his dissolving views. It was loudly applauded. The tragedy of the piece was well relieved by Gardner and Paul, who in their respective cha racters of a grocer, and a " snapper up of unconsidered trifles," kept the audience in a roar of laughter, as long as they were either of them on the stage. he scenery was excellent. The opening scene especially, a view of the Battersea bank of the Thames, with the church and bridge, was exceedingly beautiful. The piece was com pletely successful. At the conclusion of the first act, a magnificent new drop-scene, by Mr. Telbin, was exhi bited. As a work of art it is exceedingly beautiful, and does infinite credit to Mr. Telbin's taste and artistical skill. Miss Martin, late of the Surrey, has joined the Victoria company, and made her first appearance last night, as Selina, in the Palace of Geneva. She was cordially welcomed by the audience, and will no doubt prove an acquisition to the theatre. The house was crammed from the commencement. °SIN G PRICES.) FUNDS.

CiIicuESTER CATHEDRAL.—The beautiful window, which it was announced tome time since it was the intention of the Very Rev. the Dean of Chichester to place in the Ca thedral, has been erected. It is intended by the Deal as a mo nument to his sister, the late Miss Chandler, a lady distinguished by her many and rare virtues. The window is meant to be an emblematical illustration of the 35th and 36th verses of the 25th chapter of St. Matthew's Gospel, and contains six separate groups of figures. r epresenting the six acts of mercy describ e d in that passage of Scripture, and scrolls with mottoes bearing a reference to the character of the deceased; at the bottom is in an inscription—" In memoriam Marian Chandler, henefiese, 1841." The appearance of the window, ter minating the east end of the s.iuth aisle, is extremely beau tiful. Such a memorial is greatly to be preferred to the tas:e less masses 'of marble by which so many of our finest Cathe drals are deformed. DISTRESSING SUICIDE AT GRAVESEND. —Yesterday, at noon, an inquest was held at the Town. hall, Gravesend, before Mr. Carttar, on the body of Miss Elizabeth Jarman Browne, a fine young woman aged 22, which was picked up off Gravesend, on Friday morning last. Mrs. Sarah Brown, a widow, living at Lower Tootirg, Surrey, identified the body as that of her daughter. She left her home on Monday to go to a situation as governess, in a ladies' school at Islington, and nothing further. was beard of her till Saturday, when she (witness) received a letter, stating that the deceased had greatly annoyed the family by her strange conduct, and had left on Thursday morning. Witness made inquiries, but heard nothing of her until Saturday, when she saw an ad vertisement of a female having been picked up at Gravesend, and discovered it was her daughter. The deceased has been in a very distressing state of mind for some months past, owing to the excessive trials which the family had undergone, and had often complained of pains in the head.. - She had ,had no less than three situations as governess within five months, and be fore going to the last she observed that she was more fit for a mad-house. Deceased had formed no attachment. Verdict, P' Pound drowned." PARLIAISMNTARY DIVISIONS (From the Votes and Proceedilig4o the House of Commons.) MONDAY, JUNI! 20. POOP LAW AMILVDMENT BILL.

WooLwien.—At half-past eight o'clock yesterday morning the Ruyal Marines, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Powell, marched to the Royal Dockyard!, and were stationed at the landing-place, to form a guard of honour for the reception of their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians, who were expected to arrive about that time. Colonel T. A. Parke, C. 8., Commandant ; and Colonel Mercer, and all the Royal Marine Officers in the garrison not on duty, were also present in honour of the occasion. Shortly afterwards a field battery of four light 6-pcunder guns, under the com mand of Captain Stanway arrived, and was drawn up on the west side of the landing-place, to fire a royal salute. About the same time the officers and men of the 73d regiment, under the command of Colonel James Frederick Love, C.B. and K. H. , arrived, and wets drawn up in a line leading from the entrance to the dockyard, past the Royal Marine Barracks, as the route by which their Majesties in tended to proceed to Buckingham Palace was in that direction, through the village of Charlton, and the Blackheath-road, to the Green Man, where the horses would be changed. Almost at the same time a detachment of the Bth King's Royal Irish Light Dragoons (Hussar), under the command of Lieutenant Brown, arrived, and were drawn upon the wharf-wall to form an escort to the Green Alan, where another detachment would relieve them, and escort their Majesties to Buckingham Palace. At half-past nine o'clock the Royal standard was hoisted on the flag staff in the dockyard, and from the mainmast of the Wil liam and Mary yacht, the Geyser, Alban, Black Eagle, and the other Admiralty steam-vessels in the river opposite the dockyard hoisted their signal colours, and presented a gay and animated scene. The Royal standard was also hoisted at the mortar battery, and the Royal Ai finery attended, and was formed on each side the line of road by which their Majesties were expected to proceed. At half-past ten o'clock the arrival of one of the trading steam-vessels from Ostend communicated the intelligence that their Majesties would not embark at that port until nine o'clock this morning, and that consequently they could not be expected at Woolwich before half-past eight o'clock in the evening at the earliest. On this communication of this information to the respective commanding officers, the troops were marched back to barracks under orders to hold themselves in readiness to assemble at eight o'clock, p.m. In the course of the aft• nmen a communication was re ceived from the Admiralty that the Ariel steam-vessel, Master Luke Stnithett commander, was telegraphed rounding the North Foreland with the Belgian flag at her mast-head. At half-past three o'cioek r. at. it was then ascertained, as near as possible, that their Majesties would arrive at Woolwich at about ten o'clock at night. The field battery was then ordered to the depot, and the troops info' med that their attendance would not be required at that late hour. At precisely a quarter to 10 o'clock a steam-vessel, with four lights upon the most prominent parts, made her appear acce in the distance, and as she rounded the lower part of Woolwich Reach, a splendid blue light was exhibited as a signal, and exactly at ten o'clock the Ariel came alongside the Dockyard basin with their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians on board, with their suite and three travelling and one luggage carriages on board. Captain Sir F. A. Collier, Knt., C.B. and K.C. H., in full naval uniform, decorated with his various orders, immediately went on board, and was intro duced to their Majesties. Lieut.-General Lord Bloomfield, G.C.B. and G.C. H., with M. Van de Weyer, the Belgian Ambassador, followed, and welcomed their Majesties. ord Sydney and Lord George Lennox, Lords in Wait ing, also went on board to attend on the King and Queen of the Belgians, and accompany them to Buckingham Palace. In a few minutes alter wards their Majesties landed, after, in the kindest man. tier parting with the commander of the vessel, and were received even at that late hour by a large concourse of specta tors, who uncovered their heads, which was acknowledged by his Majesty walking to the carriage with his hat in his hand, and repeatedly bowing to the ladies and gentlemen assembled, Four of the Royal carriages were in attendance, and the one in which their Majesties were seated was escorted by Lieut. Brown and a detachment of the Bth Hussars ; and after leav ing the Dockyard the Royal cavalcade proceeded by the lower road. through Greenwich, far Buckingham Palace, where they would arrive about eleven o'clock. So far as the light afforded an opportunity of judging, their Majesties looked remarkably well, and her Majesty smiled and appeared pleased with the novelty of landing, lighted by a number of lanterns, having the appearance of an illumination. heir Majesties were ,repeat edly cheered by a great crowd on leaving Woolwich. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWh. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—We hear serious complaints to- , ay regard. ing the scarcity of silver, for which the depreciation of gold by the Government proclamation has produced a great de mand. The industrious classes who have been compelled to part with their sovereigns at a loss varying from 2 1, ,4 to 5 per cent. and more, have required silver in exchange, as their pay ments in general have been under 51., and the consequence has been a general demand this morning, from different quarters of the country, for a supply of silver. That demand could not be supplied. The Bank of England declined to part with the amount required, and thus the original evil of the ill-advised and inconsiderate proclamation regarding the gold coinage is aggravated by the neglect to provide a proper supply of silver to meet the demand, which the forcing in of the gold at a depreciation was calculated to create, and which ought to have been anticipated and foreseen. We cannot permit our selves to believe the accuracy of a statement, made by a cm, respondent, that " the Mint were issuing new light-weight sovereigns of 20s. value, two drys only before the orders were made known as to weight, and that for 1,000 of the self-same coins, taken to the Bank of England, only 9851. can be ob tained." As our correspondent writes under the signature of " Fair Play," he will allow that such a serious accusation against the Mint ought not to be made without most unques tionable authority. SUN.—'[he operation alluded to yesterday morning is now considered to have been on account of the Savings' Banks. If such be the case, coupled as it must be with those of the last week by the same parties, it would appear to argue a great prey • sure from the smaller depositors, which is not to be wondered at, when the extreme depression in trade be considered. The sale in question caused a considerable demand for money, the rate for which was not materially advanced, although the de mand for it was great. Consols left off at 914 914, fer the opening, ex dividend ; Reduced, 914 914 ; Bank Stock, 167 168 ; Exchequer bills, Old, 45 47 ; New, 40 42 prem.

He had been missing some time, when on being searched for. he was found with his legs projecting from the bu't. On being taken out life was found quite extinct. He was nearly 80 years of age, and had been observed to be melancholy several days previously. STEAM ABOVE BRIDGE.—In consequence of the numerous visitors who daily visit Putney and Kew, the old "Company are' having four boats built' to run from London bridge to those places every hour.
