The LORD MAYOR and a deputation of merchants and bankers attended the levee, and pre sented an Addre-s from the city of London to his • MAJESTY. The committal of the Reform Bill has been post poned to Monday, April IS, in order to allow the discussion of the Slavery Bill, t‘hich was to come on last night, but was postponed at the request of the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER, and is now fixed for the 15th of April. The Stamford Champion of Tuesday says, " The twenty-fifth of March has arrived, and with it the discharges that were threatened by the Marquis of EXETER, to those of his tenants who had voted according to their consciences. On Friday Mr. BOYFIELD, under steward of the Marquis, went to the houses of the poorer tenantry, and demanded why they had not turned out. ' Out!' said many of them, where shall we go—shall our children perish in the open streets?' 'No matter for that,' replied the menial, you must turn out, and that directly—if not, my orders are to bundle y,AI out neck and crop.' In vain the poor creatures pleaded and protested—the orders' were impe rative. On Saturday morning many helpless women were running about the streets of Stamford, seeking counsel as to what they should do in their extremity. They were soon informed that the slave of the Most Ho nourable' had cared as little for the law as his master cared for the Constitution, and that neither Marquis nor man could bundle them out,' or turn them into the street, without a regular process of ejectment. Comforted with this assurance, many went home and wept tears of joy with their little ones, that they were not to be immediately exposed to the sleet and snow and rain of such a day as last Friday, without a hovel to cover their naked heads, or a place whereon to rest their weary limbs. Nor was the poor alone visited with orders for immediate expulsion. Messrs. SSIITII and RIDSDALE, the highly respectable bankers, one of the partners of whom had ventured to give only one vote to the nominees of the Marquis,—Mr. LUNN, the hatter,—and others who had also give only one vote to Lord THOMAS CECIL were ordered to turn out' instanter. Ia the case of the latter gentleman another violation of the law was attempted : not only was he or dered instantly to give up a close which he rented from the Most Honourable,' but also a stable which was his own freehold. The Most Honourable' ap pears to have improved upon the celebrated maxim of his brother of NEWCASTLE, and has changed it from ' Cannot I do what I like with my own ?' to Cannot I do what I like with another's ?''' On reading this statement, one would really be altnost inclined to bel'eve that the boroughmongers had taken leave of what little sense they ever pos sessed. Of j us ti c e they never had an atom. In- S tead of doing all in their power to conciliate the People, and make atonement for their past trans gressions, they actually strive to widen the breach between themselves and the rest of the community. They seem even to exult in the prospects of their dow nfall; to take special care that it shall be both 1 . 1 speedy and effectual one. Else, why this frantic "'Justice on the part of the Marquis of ExETER ? Ought not the commonest of ail common sense to hav e taught him to refrain from any exercise of tyranny at this particular juncture; that it was be- Come his duty to conciliate, not to provoke ; to ba nn'oltli,.not to sti mu l ate recollection ? But there is hm g like despotism to blunt all the faculties oaf reaso n . F rom aiming at too much it perpetu ally overshoots the mark. Love is blind, but in ce is blinder still, and when the Mar of EXETER, in common with the rest of the boroughmongers, shall have found their level; when they shall have been stripped to the last rag, of all their unconstitutional influence ; they will have the consolation of reflecting that they themselves have been their greatest enemies ; that they themselves cuslsted at their own spoliation; and that the best friends Reform ever had, have been the boroughmongers. The Stamford Champion, we perceive, has sur rounded the names of the exemplary and disinte rested minority on the Reform question with a very appropriate black border. From all we hear and read of the state of parties in Paris, and, indeed, generally throughout France, we do not conceive it possible for that country to remain much longer at peace. The feelings of Louts PHILIPPE on the subject are evidently at variance with those of the majority of his people; and sooner or later, and rather soon than late, he must swim with the stream; if he attempt to make head against it he will assuredly founder. Accounts from Mayence state, that an army of 60,000 men of the troops of the German confedera- tion will shortly pass the Rhine, and take up a po sition between that city and Landau. At Vienna it is said that an army of 90,000 men will be stationed in Bohemia, and a corps of 30,000 men on the frontiers of the Tyrol and Italy : BRUSSELS, Maitcli 26.—M. Devaux arrived at Brussels yesterday evening, it is said that he does not ac cept the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs ; we announce this with regret. We learn that M. E. Defacqz yesterday sent in his re- signation of the office of Secretary-General of the Mini ster of Justice. The Committee of the National Association held its first sitting this morning, M. Tielemans was cho.en Pre sident, Messrs. Van Mienen and Gendebien, Vice-Presi , dents ; Messrs. Halley and Beylz, secretaries ; Defacqz and Faider, treasurers. Yesterday evening a great number of persons went to Vauxhall, desirous of being present at the sitting of the Association for the independence of Belgium, but there was no meeting ; several of the Chastelers chasseurs be ing observed in the crowd, were borne in triumph by the people, amidst cries of " Liberty for ever." The crowd went to a public-house in the rue Ducale, to sign the lists of approval of the articles of the society, which were signed on the spot by great numbers. Much agitation prevails in the city, but this agitation is entirely patriotic. It is affirmed that Colonel Booremans was arrested yes terday morning at one o'clock, in the barrack of St. Elizabeth. On the 23d a duel was fought near Antwerp, between two inhabitants of that city. M. V. died of his wounds the following morning. This unhappy affair originated in a difference of political opinion. The Politique contains an article, of which the follow ing are some extracts:— " Every day there are movements among the troops, which have the appearance of useless promenades.— Some battalions are concentrated in one point, and there scattered, to be again collected, without any reason that the public can see. These measur,s are looked up to as puerile, and as a mere show of acti vity without any real object. These men who are thus promenaded from town to town are lodged and fed at our expcnce. The citizens who see their houses almost always full of soldiers, do not conceal their discontent. They would cheerfully submit to a burden of which they saw the necessity, but they cannot be pleased with what seems to be a needless tax on them." The venerable Bishop of Namur expired to-day at ten o'clock, after several days' severe suffering. ANTWERP, MARCH 25,—The Dutch troops are in mo tion, and are approaching in great numbers to our fron tiers, by way of Bladel and Eerzel, between Eindhoven and Turnhout. The position of the squadron on the whole line to Flush ing is precisely the same ; some persons who pretend to be well informed atlirm, however, that there will be a change in a few days ; that the fine ship of the line the Zeeuw will come before the city with some corvettes, and that the gun-boats will go away. At all events it is certain that the Zceuw, of 90 guns, is ready to leave Flushing, and that it is fitted out for active service. MAYENCE, MARcci 13.—The news of the arma ments in France has induced the inhabitants of our city to lay in provisions in case a blockade should take place. The Austrian officers are preparing to send away their families. However, since it has been known that an army of 60,000 men of the troops of the German Con federation will shortly pass the Rhine, and take up a posi tion between our city and Landau, the apprehensions of a siege have greatly abated. The command of the several divisions of this army will be determined by drawing lots, and the States interested have already named their officers. As Germany will not commence offensive operations, it is probable that a fortified camp will be formed between Mayence and Landau, and in front of this line, in order to secure the left hank of the Rhine against a hostile invasion. VIENNA, MARC!! 15.—1 t is said that an army of 90,000 men will be stationed in Bohemia, and a corps of 30,000 men on the frontiers of the Tyrol and Italy. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O' CLOCK. Consols, which left off yesterday at 78-1 for the Ac count, opened at the same price this morning; but on the arrival of two expresses from Paris, the market became exceedingly heavy, and Consols receded immediately to 77i for the Account; at present they are'77k. No doubt the contents of the expresses are of an unfavourable nature, either in regard to politics, or the French funds must have come considerably lower, as the information by them has not as yet transpired. With the exception of the above arrivals we hare no others ; not a single ship letter has come to hand. We hear that Prince Talleyrand has notified that the French Government will not permit any of the Dutch family to be King of Belgium. In the Foreign Market nothing doing. BRITISH FUNDS.

We have just heard that the express from Paris brings intelligence that the French Government intend to con tract a loan, on the 19th of April, of 13,000,000/. ster ling, the object of which is to maintain the dignity of France either in peace or war. The French Renter come 51. Consoi., which were done a few moments since at 77 are ngain gone down to 771 1. HALF-PAST ONE. The general topic of Conversation in the city in the course of the morning related to the large amount of the French Loan of thirteen millions sterling, being more than the French Government originally reiied, and by the bidding being put off to the 19th of April, it is expected that by that period the French Ministers will have received important explanations from some of the continental powers, which no doubt, they mean to take ad- _ vantage of. Consols, which were in the early part of the morning at 77k, have improved to 77j for the Account. W e un derstand that a great quantity of stock has been sold since the French loan was made - known. The Dutch steamer has just arrived, and brings accounts from Berlin of the 23d March, in which there is nothing of any importance. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing. THREE 0' CL 0 CK.

SCIENTIFIC SOCIETIES•—It is estimated that tl e:e are about fifteen hundred learned and scientific so- cietiea in the world; above half of which are occupied in the encouragement of agriculture, manufactures, and com merce.—Literary Gazette. THE HISTORICAL TRAVELLER.—This work would not have been inaptly styled " Tales of Eu ropean History," as it embraces the most memorable and romantic narratives connected with the various countries In Europe, such, for instance, as AlAsArarLto, the Nea- politan Fisherman—COLA DI RIENZI, the Roman Tribune, who has been denominated the " Saviour of his Country" .--HOFER, the " TELL of the Tyrol"—the hapless Count UGOLINO of Pisa—Foscmu, the Doge of Venice—The Troubadours—Royal Palaces of Europe, &c. &c. It is but justice to add, that these " beauties of history" are treated of in the most popular and captivating manner. It is a delightful work for the young, and indeed for all classes. One of the Paris papers, edited by a well known gourmand, calls upon the French Government to stop the further progress of the Austrians in Italy, on the irresistible ground that " they have already stopped the supply of Bologna sausages, by entering that town ; and, if not stopped, will certainly destroy all the Par mesan cheese now in store !" Major KEPPEL, who has just published the results of his late travels in Turkey, entitled " Natrative of a Journey across the Balcan," proceeded to Constanti nople, by way of France, Switzerland, and Italy. Ile visited, among other places, Lepanto, Corinth, Athens,Na pall di Rumania, Adrianople, and Smyrna, connected with which he has given much new and valuable information. Ilis visit to Count DIEBITSCH—his interview with Count CAro D'ISTRIAS— with the Grand Vizier MAIWAIET REDSCHID PASHA—and other distinguished persons, and indeed the whole narrative of his adventures cannot fail to be perused with high interest. The illustrations to this valable work are twelve in number, including a map of the north western part of Asia Minor. The East India Company's ships Berwick shire and Orwell arrived on the 27th inst., the former off Portland, and the latter off Weymouth. The Berwick- shire left China on the 4th, and the Orwell on the 6th of December. The Edinburgh and .Macqueen arrived at St. Helena on the sth of February, and were to leave on the 7th of the same month. The Ann and Amelia arrived in China on the 21st of November. The Berwickshire spoke the Marquis of Huntly, outward bound, on the 19th of February, in lat. 5. 11., N., and long. 19. 30. W. BURCKHARDT, THE TRAVELLER.—The CX ploring genius of this singular man found almost its latest occupation in studying the peculiar manners and habits of the Arabs of the desert. His " Travels among the Be douins and Walaabys," which embody his copious personal experience in relation to those remarkable tribes, are re plete with characteristic anecdotes of that wild, pastoral, and predatory life which is so deeply tinged with the hues of romance—while the historical comments he has brought to the elucidation of his subject give connection and per manence to its impression on the reader's mind. Of this valuable work an Octavo Edition in two volumes has just issued from the Press. It is rumoured very seriously, that a project of marriage has been resolved upon between the Duchess of BEtUtI and Don MIGUEL of Portugal. We are even assured that the Government has received this news by telegraph.--Le Constitutionne/.—We do not know if this news be true ; but it is certain that the most active relations sul,sist between Holyrood and Lisbon, and that in Paris Madame de BERRI showed a strong predilection for Don MiounL. In any case, this is an able step .of the exib-d family : if there be one name more unpopular in France than another, which inspires a mixture of horror and con tempt, it is that of Don Mmum.; and it was certainly requisite to have an ill-omened hand to choose such a one, precisely out of the list of crowned hea , l6.—Courrier Francais. Our readers will be glad to find that, after an interval of several years, the popular author of " Vi v i an Grey" is about to publish another novel. The effect pro duced upon readers of every class by " Vivian Grey" must be fresh in the memory of the town ; and we are autho rised in mentioning a fact not generally known, viz. that one of the earliest manifestations of dramatic talent in that young lady whose genius has lately received homage from multitudes, was elicited by a perusal of " Vivian Grey." The new work of this truly original writer is to be called " The Young Duke." In the days of GARRICK a Mr. CROSS was prompter at Drury Lane Theatre. Mr. SANDERS, the principal machinist, kept race horses. He one day came into the prompter's room while he was engaged writing, uttering exclamations against his jockey, who had just lost a race. Cross, vexed at the interruption, said impa tiently, His fault, his fault—how was it his fault ?" Why,' said SANDERS, " the rascal ran my horse against a waggon." " Umph," replied Caoss, " I never knew a horse of yours that was fit to run against any thing else."—Athenceurn. WEDDED LIFE IN THE UPPER RANKS.-- The work under the above general title so long announced has at length been published. The stories are calculated, we understand, to exhibit to the public at large a cor recLer notion of the " holy state" in fashionable life than has yet been afforded them. The tales are called respec tively " The Wife and Friends" and " The Married Man." There is an old proverb which says " One half of the world knows not how t'other lives;" and it is expected that the above work will curiously demonstrate the truth of the assertion. It appears certain that Austria has just made a new levy of 50,000 men, and that the King of PRUSSIA has convoked the States-General, to obtain new supplie s to defray the warlike expenses he has incurred.—Courtier Francais. The banquet to be given to the Knights of the Bath by his MAJESTY on the anniversary of Admiral RODNEY'S glorious victory is expected to be more than usirilly magnificent. The noble guests will, we doubt not, in the course of their repast, look fo r many of those dishes which are known to be the invention of the inimitable DOLBY, and which have conferred on his " Cook's Dic tionary" an exclusive reputation. The narrative of Captain BEECHEY'S voy age to the Pacific and to Behring's Straits is highly ho nourable to the British Government, at whose I , uggestion the publication was undertaken. The Captain's adven tures in some of the remote Islands of Polynesia, and at Loo Choo, t oge th er w ith his discoveries in the froze n re gions of the Polar Sea, confer on this national work an interest not surpassed even by the famous voyages of Cap tain Coos. WINDSOR, MARCH 29. The King left the Castle at a quarter past eleven this morning in a close carriage, accompanied by Sir Augustus d'Este and Sir Jeffrey Wyattville. His Majesty proceeded down Castle-hill and the High-street, to the Long Walk, by which he entered the Great Park, where some additional improvements were pointed out by Sir Jeffrey ; after which his Majesty continued his airing for an hour and a half. At three o'clock this afternoon, the carriages and saddle-horses being in readiness, the Royal party proceeded to take their usual exercise, the King, Princess Augusta, and the Landgravine, in a close carriage, and the Queen on horseback, attended by Colonel Wood and his son, Sir Andrew Barnard, Miss Bagot, Prince George of Cambridge, the Rev. Mr. Wood, and Sir Augustus d'Este. Their Majesties were followed by Lady Caroline Wood, Sir William and Lady Freemantle, and others of the Royal visiters and suite, and remained out two hours. To-morrow morning the King will leave for St. James's Palace, in order to hold a levee; but his Majesty will return to the Castle to dinner. Colonel and Miss Wyse had the honour of dining with their Majesties yesterday. The pleasure her Majesty has derived from the excellent per formance of her chamber-musicians has induced her to increase their number by the addition of four instruments. The choice has fallen upon four of his late Majesty's private band. COURT CIRCULAR. The Lord Chamberlain to the Queen has issued c a rds of invi tation, by command of her Majesty, for a full dress ball, to be given at St. James's Palace on the 25th of April. The King's Royal Maundy bounty was distributed on Monday and yesterday, at the Almonry Office, by Mr. Hanby, Secretary and Yeoman of the Almonry, to 830 poor, aged, and infirm persons. The Duke of Grafton, Viscount Goderich, and Sir James Graham, had interviews yesterday with Earl Grey at the Trea suTh ry. e Chancellor of the Exchequer entertained the Duke of Richmond, Sir James Graham, and a select party at dinner, on Sunday, at his residence in Downing-street.

We had occasion to witness, on Saturday last, the funeral of this Nobleman, which was impressive from its simplicity. Though a distinguished Peer of the realm, there was nothing of the para phernalia of rank or wealth apparent ; no armorial bearings, no plumed pomp, no hearse, no carriage. It consisted of a foot pro cession, like the burial of a private individual. The coffin par took of the same chaste character, having neither crest nor coronet on it ; nothing but a simple record of the name and title, the period of birth, and that of the death of its occupier. It was borne from Cobham-hall to the parish church, a distance of more than a mile, on the shoulders of his agricultural labourers, at his own desire, as expressed by him a few rears ago, preceded by his principal household servants, several of the Clergy of the vicinity, anti his medical attendants, and followed first by his nearest relatives, among whom we noticed his daughter (the Lady Elizabeth Bligh), and his daughter-in-taw (the Lady Clifton, now Countess of Darnley). The next in procession, many in number and of great respectability, were the Noble h'art's tenantry, who were followed by several Magistrates and other gentlemen of the neighbourhood : the procession closed with the menial servants of the deceased. At the church, besides the usual service, a sermon was delivered by the Chaplain of the Noble Lord, in the course of which he gave a portrait of his cha racter as a husband, a father, a friend, a landlord, a master, and a Christian—a task for which he was eminently qualified, having, in his capacity of Chaplain and as tutor to his two sons, been closely associated with Ins patron during half his life. Fortu ately however, as to most of the particulars enumerated, the character of Lord Darnley was well known to the generality of and of the strangers there could not at any distance, who had not living g ate and public, since for both he e ltd) \i'P d Ne l d'rssu c ebaa t il il til t :h to . say which had most eau se ,h s milY lauded.

Upon principle, too, he was a Christian aisd a Protesta nt, upholding the Established Church, yet with every allowance for the . concientlous faith of those who might differ from him, having in his religion no intolerance, and no taint of bigotry.

W. L. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Portsmouth Herald of Sunday.) PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 26.—His Majesty's ship Belvi dera, 46, Captain the Hon. R. S. Dundas, fitting for the Mediterranean station, is•expected to proceed thither about the 10th of next month. Mr. Farm, appointed his Ma jesty's Consul-General for Syrit, and family, will go out 01 passengers. The Navy Board steam-vessel Lightning, Mr. John Allen, Master, is hourly expected from the River, with Commissioner th,her and family, Sze. when they will im mediately embark on board the Sapphire, for a passage to Bermuda. We mentioned some short time since that his Majesty's hrig Charybdis, lately launched in this dock-yard, was being cut down within two feet of the deck; since which , ime another ten gun brig, the Brisk, has been ordered to undergo, and is now Lndergoing, a similar operation. We understand it is in contemplation to erect a building in his Majesty's dock-yard at Woolwich, similar to that lately erected in this dock-yard, for the manufacturing of steam boilers, &c. which confirms the idea, pretty generally prevalent, that the Government are about to increase very considerably our steam force. Government have stipulated for the building of six new steamers of five hundred tons each, to be built in private yards, by contract. Mr. Sheffield, late a student in the School of Naval Architecture in this dock-yard, is ap pointed overseer to one now in progress in Fearnall's yard, at Limehouse, and the remaining five will be built at the various private yards on the banks of the river, each tinder the immediate inspection and superintendence of some Government officer, in order to ensure a due execu tion of the terms of the contract. One hundred male convicts have embarked on board the Georgians for New South Wales, during the week, from the Leviathan, and eighty-two from the York, under the medical superintendence of Dr. Tarn. Among the whole of this number there is but one who has attained his thirtieth year, and he has been convicted no less than twenty-six times. She is not expected to sail until after the present week. The Arab, Amity, and Orestes transports, sailed from Plymouth on Friday, for the Mauritius, with the 87th Royal Irish Fusileers. PaosionOws, APPOINTMENTS, &c.—Lieut. G. Cu well, of his Majesty's ship Asia, is appointed to his Ma jesty's ship Pallas. Lieut. C. Walcott is appointed to the Asia, vice Caswell. Lieut. W. W.

Mr. Geo. Clarke, Super numerary Clerk of his M ijesty's ship Sapphire, is ap pointed Clerk to his Majesty's ship St. Vincent. The fallowing removals and exchanges in the Royal Marines have taken place, consequent on the promotion in that corps, which was as fully and correctly detailed in our last week's Herald as time would permit :—Captain J. G. Richardson has been re-appointed to Woolwich on his promotion. Capt. C. Morgan has been re-appointed to Plymouth on his promotion. First Lieut. R. Carr has been re-appointed to Chatham on his promotion, vice F. S. Ha milton, removed to Plymouth, in the room of First Lieu tenant Henry Savage (late of the Royal Marine Artillery), whose appointment there has been cancelled in favour of the Woolwich Division. Captain John Husband has been appointed to the Chatham Division on promotion. First Lieut. Edmund Nepean, of the Portsmouth Division of Royal Marines, is appointed to the Plymouth Division, vice Charles Robinson Miller, whose appointment to Ply mouth, from the Royal Marine Artillery, has been can celled, in favour of Pottsmouth Division. On Thursday last Captain John Hewes, and First Lieutenant Andrew Hendry, with a detachment of Royal Marines belonging to the Woolwich Division, arrived here in the Royalist tender, from Plymouth, fo► embarkation, having proceeded thence from Woolwich, in the Exmouth convict ship, in charge of convicts, where they were re lieved by a detachment of the 87th Regiment. The Royalist returned to Plymouth the same day with First Lieutenant Joseph Childs, late of the Thetis, and Second Lieutenant E. W. Churchill, late of the Pallas, paid off at this port, together with the Royal Marines late of those ships, belonging to the Plymouth Division. Extract of a letter from his Majesty's ship Winchester, dated Barbadoes, 29th January, 1831 :—" We arrived here on the 21st, in company with the Hyacinth, Capt. Jackson, and Sparrowhawk, Commander Mayne, from St. Kitt's, Augusta, and Martinique, on the way from Bermuda. We found here his Majesty's ship Shannon, Capt. Clement; Mersey, Capt. Ceturtenay ; Firefly, Lieut. Holland; Kangaroo, Lieut, Shortland ; and Co lumbine, Capt. Gabriel ; which latter vessel had arrived on the 18th, after a vieilant cruise in search of pirates, but without success, although the slave trade is still carried on to an amazing extent, and the American Archipelago is not without a few piratical vessels. The Kangaroo preceded us from Antigua. The squadron were re markably healthy. The Nimble schooner having been sur veyed at Nassau, New Providence, and found very defective, estimates had been rent to the Admiral for her repair. Her Commander, Mr. M‘Donnell, and crew, were turned over to the Firefly, which vessel sailed from Nassau, 29th December, and after a stormy passage reached Barbadoee on the 12th January. The Sparrowhawk sailed again for Jamaica on the 25th January. The Admiral goes all sound the West Indies previous to returning to Bermuda. He may be expected to leave Barbadoes about the Bth of February. Several Courts Martial have been held on board the Shannon, on junior officers, seamen, and marines of the fleet. Acting Lieut. Stopford, of the Winchester, has been appointed to the Mersey, vice Davis invalided. Mr. Hallett, Mate of the Sparrowhawk, has been pro moted to the rank of Lieutenant, and goes to England in a merchant ship; Mr. N. B. Lush, Secretary's Cletk, is appointed acting Purser of the Rose." Extract of a letter, dated Sydney, New South Wales, Oct. 14, 1830 Accounts have been received by the Comet, from the Swan River, which are of a favourable nature, and represent the new settlement to be in a thriv ing condition. His Majesty's ship Success, 28, Captain W. C. Jervoise ; Sulphur, 8, Commander W. T. Dance ; and Cruizer, 18, Commander John E. G. Colpoys, were in the harbour, as well as the Rockingham and Medina, merchantmen, one storeship, and one brig. Mr. Peel still remained at Cockburn Sound. The dysentery was very prevalent, especially among the military, 35 of whom had died out of 140. A new harbour had been discovered near Basses' Straits, which had been named Port Augus tan. The Comet has brought three prisoners, being the first convicts which have been transported from Swan IRiver to New South Wales. The crops in the latter set lements are reported to be in the most flourishing condi ion." Extract of a letter from a Naval Officer, dated " Bar badoes, Feb. 4, I831:—" A most interesting Court Martial has been assembled on board his Majesty's ship Shannon, at Barbadoes, by order of Vice-Admiral Culpoys, the Com mander-in-Chief on this station, to try Commander Charles Hamlyn Williams, of the Racehorse, on charges preferred against him by Supernumerary Commander William Old rey, who war ordered a passage in that ve,sel to join the flag and ship of the Admiral, for a series of conduct tend ing to bring disrespect on Commander Oldrey, as an officer of the Royal Navy. At this stage and time, the Court having been sitting four days, and the prosecution having now only just closed, I am unable to communicate to you the result, but the general impression is," &c. As we think it would in this stage of the business be exceedingly unfair, and improper to prejudge the case, by giving " the general impression," we shall for the present decline in serting the sequel of the letter, as far as relater to the Court Martial. We give, however, the following brief " The Admiral sailed at five o'clock yesterday, with the 'Winchester, Shannon, Mersey, Hyacinth, Colum bine, and Racehorse, for La Guayra, and Jamaica, all ex cept the latter ship, which we suppose will return to Bar badoes in a day or two. The Firefly schooner, Lieutenant M'Donnell, sailed on the 2d of Felruary for Bermuda, to be hove down and repaired." Extract of a letter from an officer on board his Majesty's ship iEtna, dated Sierra Leone, Dec. 19, 1850:—" 1 am sorry to tell you that our opinion of the coast of Africa is very different to what it was when we left England, and when you read what follows, you will not wonder that we should have no great affection for the climate. We passed ten days at the French settlement of Goree, and two days at the English settlement in the River Gambia, and arrived here on the l'ith ; during all this time we have heard nothing but doleful tales. On leaving our anchorage, several boats carne off to us ; and as many of our officers had friends and acquaintances both in the fleet and in the colony, we were naturally anxious to hear of their welfare, but I regret to say the answer was al- hi most invariably of the same melanch o ly d e scription, and which I dare say you already anticipate. Mr. Quin, o gland, ; named Tuit e, bout a month r natu rally l eo:7 r F el i r r s eu t lsa.

But a more horrible tale still remains. By an order from the senior officer on that station, the Plumper, gun -b r i g , Lieut. Adams, was sent to the River Pongus, to watch ind endeavour to take some slavers; a duty which be per formed, and returned here three or four days ago, with six white men alive out of thirty-five, and one of these six is now dying in the hospital. The only return he has re ceived for this melancholy sacrifice of human lives, is, the capture of thirty slaves. The Assistant -Surgeon, and every thing in the shape of an officer, with the exception i,f the Lieutenant commanding, was swept off. It will, I think, astonish you to be told, that the British Govern ment have it in contemplation, as it is said, to remove some part of this colony to Fernando Po; and the oldest inhabitants here say, to a man, that they would dread as much going from Sierra Leone to Fernando Po, as they dreaded leaving England for Sierra Leone. lam happy, however, to tell you, it is generally reported in the Fleet that Commodore Hayes has humanely determined not to expose the ships to such risks as has hitherto been the custom." POLAND. EXTRACTS FROM WARSAW LAYERS OF THE ioTH.) " Field-Marshal Diebitsch having, with his own hands, pulled the different orders of merit gained on the field of battle off the breast of Major Kiwerski, who bad been se verely wounded and made prisoner, the Major, in conse quence of such an insult, being hurt to the extreme, an swered, with di , nity to the Marshal. You may take upon yourself to have us shot, but not dishonour us, for when a nation declares war upon another, there are no re!tel,"che Fteld-Alarshal, enraged at such an answer, ordered his Cossacks to take the prisoners into the in terior. The General Gerstenzweig having met them, added his insults to the former one; and his soldiers threw mud and stones at them, and forced them into rooms covered with blood, and were a number of dead and dying itussians lay : there they were obliged to pass the night, without any kind of assistance, and, after having given them some few dry biscuits, without any distinction or rank, they were driven along, on foot, to Minsk." " WARSAW, Marten 14.—After the departure of the corps under the command of General Dwernicki. the Russians made a second entry into the town of Pulawy oi4 the 9th inst. Humanity is struck with the atrocious horrors committed a second time by these Russians upon the unfortunate inhabitants; after having pillaged and completely destroyed Pulawy, they forced away with them seven of the inhabitants, on which unfortunate beings they committed the most violent acts of barbarism ever heard of in the civilized world. Among those unfortunate persons were Gniewkowski, and Szinidt, awl the deputy constable, Niestorowicz, and another, the name unknown to the eye-witness. After their suffering the most dreadful punishment, their eyes were pushed out, until death put them out of reach of further torments, which otherwise they would hare had to have undergone from the hands of those barbarians." DR. PARIS'S LIFE OF SIR H. DAVY.- The rapidity with which the first edition of this memoir of the greatest of modern philosophers has been sold, has, we understand, induced the author to prepare a new edi tion in octavo, comprising much additional matter in cor respondence and personal anecdote. The charac , er of DAVY, both as a man and a philosopher, could not pos sibly have fallen into hands more competent to explain and record it, than those of Dr. PARIS; and the world has shown that it concurs in this opinion by the eagerness with which it has received the author's biography of the late illustrious chemist. A son of Dr. PARIS, the eminent physician, a boy little more than twelve years of age, has modelled with his fingers, from a common stick of sealing-wax, held before a lighted taper, a greyhound in miniature, of the most beautiful symmetry, in perfect action ; a horse leaping over a five-barred gate; and an equestrian figure, I representing a warrior on a horse in full vigour. These not only marvellous, but highly ingenious compositions, are deposited in the museum of the Society of Arts, who have awarded to the modest school-boy their medal for his inventions. As a proof that office does not always enrich the possessor, it may be remarked, that the celebrate l Dote of Newcastle, after holding the highest appointments fur upwards of fifty years, died 300,0001. poorer than when he first came into power. The interest on FERDINAND the Beloved's new Bonds is to commence, according to the proposals, on—of all days in the year—the ,first of April ! Can our capitalists refuse terms so tempting a, these ? BOURRIENNE'S LIFE OF BUONAPARTE.—• The forthcoming unique and cheap edition, to he pub lished by Messrs. COEBURN and BENTLEY, of this most popular of modern historical biographies, will be esta blished by a series of nut less than 17 spirited engravings, hy the first artists, embodying the most extraordinary in cidents in the career of BUONAFARTE, anion?, which are— The Redoubt at Brienne—The Battle of the Nile—The Assault of St. Jean d'Acre—The Revolt at Cairo—The Battle of Aboukir—NAPOLEON at the Council of Ancient, on the 18th Brumaire—The Battle of Marengo—The Camp at Boulogne—The Evening before Austerlitz—The Battle of Austerlitz—The Ilttle of Jena—The Death of Marshal LA NNES, and the Departure from Fontainbleau, besides beautiful Portraits of NAPOLEON, of the Empresses JOSEPHINE and MARIE LOUISE, and a fac-simile of the Act of Abdication, in the hand-writing of NArOLEON. The Reform meeting which is to take place on Monday next, is expected to be the most numerous ever held in Warwickshire. Several Noblemen and the county Members will most probably attend ; and it is reported that Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, who has considerable pro perty in the county, and who made his djbut as a public speaker at the celebrated meeting on Warwick Race Course in 1789, will also be present. The requisitions both convene householders, and we hear that a large caval cade of carriages and horsemen will proceed from this town.—Birminyharn Gazette. " ' The Pilot' for six shillings ! and what is more, in one volume, and beautifully printed on good paper. This is a phenomenon in the history of literature, and augurs well fir the extension of liberal tastes and en tertaining knowledge. It is much to get a respectable volume of compilation at this price ; but when classical and highly-prized standard works are thus placed within the reach of humble means, assuredly, before the lapse of many years, there will not be a house which gives the occupier a right to vote, that has not also its little library.
