because it holds out the prospect of very fair and reasonable gains to those who should em burk,iu the undertaking. We received (hi; morning by Express the toile dated yesterday. It does not contain any intelligence of the least importance, except the i ntimation, that the Coronation of the King of 1?-11, 4NcE is decidedly fixed for the 12th June. The postponement of this solemnity to that pe liod is attributed solely to the circumstance, that t 6 Chambers cannot possibly get through the Public business before.

The following are extracts : (From the Eioilc, dated Wednesday.) • PARIS, MARCH 29. going Journals loudly call for war. Eager to propagate all sinister reports, we see how much the repose of the world afflicts t hem- Despairing henceforward of troubling States by conspi- Cles and internal revolutions, it is from the policy of the Ca binets of Europe that they seek for dissensions, by the aid of ithich they hope once more to shake all legitimate thrones. - . For ourselves, who wished for war, and announced it as ine -514b1e when it was necessary against the principles of the Re lehltidon, and when all the liberal journals affirmed that it w ° 01 (1 not take place, we can now assert that peace will not he disturbed in any manner. The idea of a possible rupture does *X even occur to the mind of any reasonable' man. And opinion is not only that of the merchants, whose opera ti(7l4 continue in the North on the footing of the most perfect e°llliderlee in the preservation of peace, but that of all the M ini len accredited to the diplomatic corps of Europe, who, see tng things more closely, doubtless do not fail to inform their respective Cabinets—and that of London in the first place— at a war, whatever might be the cause of it, would change, its nature as soon as ever it broke out, and would become corn- Plet elY and exclusively revolutionary ; that is to say, that being Z 4 ln cnenced for the political interests peculiar to such or suc h a kte, it would immediately arouse and bring into play all the r : ft aions which th e Alli a nce has forced to respect the peace of "Vet and would put at hazard the existence of thrones glenuelves. It is indeed believed that certain of the English Ministers, w ho have appeared for a moment more particularly disposed to kl etice to British commerce even some of the interests of th e great E uropean f am il y (d e l a soc iea Enropeenne ), begin, h Qw eler, to be sensible that there is a limit which they cannot Plr's without exposing England itself, to which they declare the un ion of it s su bj ects of all religions to b e so necessar y, without imposing themselves, we say, to the greatest misfortunes, in case the hydra of anarchy should be let loose there, which will er happen so long as the present Ministers shall retain the 441r ection of the affairs of their country.

There are to be 300 shares of 400 rix-dollars each.— It is said that considerable foreign houses have already offered to join. The Star packet from Kiel to Copenhagen is stranded near Stevens.

The long subsisting differences respecting the North West Coast of America, have been perfectly adjusted by a convention concluded and signed by Mr. Stratford Canning and Count Nesselrode. By this convention the limits of the navigation and trade of both parties are accurately defined, and many things relative to the subject regulated. The conference respecting the aflairs of the East continue : it is positively affirmed that Mr. Canning takes no active part in them.

The Lords have adjourned to Wednesday se'unight (the 13th inst.), and the Commons to the day following (the 14th inst.). Goon FRIDAY.—The important truth of our holy religion, of which this day is appointed the anniversary, was, as usual, commemorated by the suspension of business, pnd the performance of Divine Service at ail the Churches and most of the Chapels throughout London. Those be longing to the Roman Catholics were much crowded, particularly the Spanish Ambassadors Chapel, and the splendid edifice in Moorlields. —At these places High Mass was performed with its usual impressive and solemn pageantry. The audience at both of these places was of a very fashionable character, but it was evident that part of it consisted of persons who had been attracted by curiosity to witness this spectacle, and also to hear the music, which was of a very superior order. Mr. CATIICART, Minister Plenipotentiary from England to the German Confederation, arrived at Frankfort on the 23d instant. WESTERLY CURRENT OF THE ATLANTIC.—Extract of a fitter from the Agents to Lloyd's at Stornaway, dated March 17 :—" A bottle was found on the 12th instant on the Sands of Dell, near the Butt of the Lewis, with a card in it, of which the following is a copy _ " English brig Ardent, from flamburgh to Newfoundland, Sept. 22, 1824, lat. 56. 58.

(Signed) " JOHN DUNCAN." The direction in which this bottle has come confirms the gene ral opinion of a westerly current, which, with the heave of the sea from the same point, accounts for the many fatal accidents that happen to our shipping crossing the Atlantic in the fall of the year, by running a-head of their reckoning." CITY OF LONDON GENERAT. PENSION SOCIET y.—The Anniversary Festival of this institution was celebrated yesterday at the City of London Tavern. The Duke of Sussex was to have presided, but his Royal Highness sent a written apology on the score of indisposition, and accompanied it with his usual donation, and an expression of deep interest for the wel fare of the charity. In consequence of this intimation, the Lord Mayor, at a few hours notice, consented to take the chair. His Lordship was supported on his right by T. Wilson, Esq., M.P., and on his left by W. Williams, Esq., M.P. Several other Members of Parliament, and Gentlemen of distinction, were present ; and the company altogether was both numerous and highly respectable. Various impressive appeals were made on behalf of the institution, the nature of which may be best understood from the following passage in the address :—" The beneficent attention of the public is therefore most respectfully entreated to an institution, which has for its object the relief of misery and distress at that period of life when the un. happy supplicants are too frequently bereft of all other aid ; when, with exhausted strength and debilitat e d health, the decayed artisan anti mechanic, or his still more forlorn and dejected widow, is left friendless, destitute, and helpless, with no hope of repose but in the grave, or looking forward only to the cheerless and inhospitable shelter of a work house as the last resource of calamity, and the last refuge of despair. To rescue such deserving members of society from un merited contumely and neglect, and to sustain that virtuous spirit of independence, which, • unable to work,' is • to beg ashamed,' this charity was instituted : and if the sorows of mi sery and misfortune have at all times a sacred claim upon our benevolence, with what increasing power do they plead for the forsaken objects of this establishment ?—t'or those whose best days have been spent in the service of the public, whose labours have enriched and benefitted the community at large ; and who, now bending over the brink of the grave, bowed down under the pressure of yews, and infirmity, and wretched. ness, so much require that charitable assistance which may sooth the declining spirits of old age, and lessen the privations of that want which pines in obscurity." The donations were extremely liberal, and amounted to a considerable sum of money. s We have great pleasure in announcing to the public,that the exhibition of the Egyptian tomb discovered by the much-lamented BELZONI, wilt be opened on Monday next, in Leicester-square. The whole was completely finished and arranged by Wednesday, and several artists and friends of Mrs. Belzoni were to be gratified with a private inspection of it on Thursday. Those who have seen it in progress, and who had visited the tomb itself in Upper Egypt, bear testimony to the faithfulness of the resemblance, anti to the spirit and beauty with which th e var i ous figures and hierog l yp hi cs are drawn and coloured exact l y a f ter the originals. Mrs. B. h as b een indefatigable in her exertions, and too much praise cannot be bestowed upon her, when the motives which have urged her to the undertaking are duly considered. The exhibition of the tomb at Paris had not only completely disappointed Mr. Bel zoni's expectations of drawing from it a source of revenue, but had swallowed up the property which he had been enabled to amas s by the success which had attended his labours in England. To procure a sum adequate to the relief and support of Mr. Belzoni's near relations in Italy, has been the object of Mrs. Belzoni's solicitude since;her return tojtliis country, and we sin cerely hope that the public will ev i nce t h eir sense of what is due to Mrs. B. herself; and their gratitude for the distinguish ed exertions of Belzoni in the cause of science, by patronizing most liberally the forthcoming exhibition.—Wambridge C'hro nick, March 27.) JEwish SWINDLER.—BiIIs of indictment for a grand larceny, to be tried at the next commission at the Ohl Bailey, were on Wednesday last found against Halrig Bran dion, the Russian Jew, who at present stands charged in three cases of swindling. One of the Bow -street patrol endea voured last night to apprehend him, (for the former charges only amounting to a misdemeanour, he was admitted to bail), but did not succeed in his caption. However, as the officers are now on the alert, little doubt is entertained of his being brought to justice. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

Oh ! how could Fancy crown with thee, In ancient days, the God of Wine, And bid thee at the banquet be Companion of the vine? Thy home, wild plant, is where each sound Of revelry bath long been o'er; Where song's full notes once peal'd around, But now are heard no more ! • The Roman, on his battle-plains, Where Kings before his eagle's bent, Entwin'd thee with exulting strains, Around the victor's tent ; Yet, there, though fresh in glossy green, Triumphally thy boughs might wave, Better thou lov'st the silent scene, Around the victor's grave.' Where sleep the sons of ages flown, The bards and heroes of the past : Where through the halls of glory gone Murmurs the wintry blast ! Where years are hast ning to efface Each record of the grand and fair ; Thou, in thy solitary grace, Wreath of the tomb ! art there. Thou o'er the shrines of fallen gods, On classic plains dost mantling spread, And veil the desolate abodes And cities of the dead ; Deserted palaces of Kings,— Arches of ttiumph, long o'crthrown,— And all once glorious earthly things, At length are thine alone. Oh ! many a temple, once sublime• Beneath a blue, Italian sky, Hath nought of beauty left by time, Save thy wild tapestry ! And rear'd midst crags and clouds 'tis thin,e To wave where banners wav'd of yore, O'er mould'ring towers by lovely Rhine Cresting the rocky shore. High from the fields of air look down, Those eyries of a vanish'd race, Homes of the mighty, whose renown Hath pass'd, and left no trace : But thou art there !—Thy foilage bright, Unchang'd, the mountain storm can brave.— Thou that wilt climb the loftiest height, And deck the humblest grave. The breathing forms of Parian stone, That rise round grandeur's marble hall's,— The vivid hues by painting thrown, Rich o'er the glowing walls, — The Acanthus on Corinthian fanes, In sculptured beauty waving fair ; These, perish all—and what remains ? Thou—thou alone art there ! 'Tis still the same—where'er we tread, The wreck's of human pow'r we see; The marvels of all ages fled, Left to Decay and thee ! And still let man his fabrics rear, — August in beauty, grace, and strength— Days pass, thou Ivy never sere, And all is thine at length. AGRICULTURE, &c. MONTHLY REPORT FOR MARCH.---We have had, latterly, seasonably dry weather, and have, fortunately, gathered a "peck of March dust," which, we trust, will ran- RAM our crops. This change has had a visibly good effect on the strong and low lands. With respect to the crops on the ground, and the spring culture, little at present can be added to former reports. A considerable breadth of wheat was sown in February, too great a portion of the seed of inferior qua lity, as are also the grass seed. The difficulties of the season considered, the lands for the spring crops have been well worked ; high prices and growing prosperity acting as a sti mulus and encouragement to the farmers. Bean-sowing has been completed, excepting in the distant northern counties, and with extensive improvement, since the abomination of broad-casting this pulse has been relinquished, in all districts where the common sense of husbandry prevails, and in some others, where that sense is at length nascent. Beans, how ever, have been very generally dibbled ; few bean lands, in this moist season, being sufficiently friable for the drill.— The pea and oat-sowing will soon be finished ; and indeed all the spring crops, should the present favourable weather con tinue. The stock of wheat on hand is now found to be greater than hitherto stated ; and the barley, beyond expectation, will be fully equal to the demand. Oats, pease, and beans are in great plenty. The hop-growers are on the alert, and the cul ture extending. A moist and variable winter is not the most advantageous for grazing ; but the high prices obtained for fat stock, more particularly sheep, have compensated for all difficul ties. Miss FOOTE.—This young Lady set off' for Liverpool yesterday, to sing on Monday and Tuesday next, at Wilson's Concert Rooms, which are then to be opened for the first time. She was accompanied by her moth er . M r . BRA IIAM, it will be recollected, married Mr. Wlmow's sister. We have heard that a new effort has been made to thaw Mr. HAYNE to Liverpool, to grace the appearance of the fair Syren there— whether successfully or not time will shew ; but no doubt no exertion will be wanting to bring him to terms, and to bind his fate in the trammels of holy matrimony. We think it unlikely that this overture will be successful ; but " Love is blind," and nothing will surprise us in these miraculous times. Miss F.'s re-appearance at Covent-garden is announced for Thursday next. should she not in the interim adopt a new character. Bo maY.—MARIIIAGESIIr WITOLESALE.—A t the Roman Catholic Church in the Fort, by his Excellency the Right Reverend Bishop Don Fr. Pedro de Alcantra, three daughters of Sir Roger de Faria to his three relations, and partners in his mercantile establishment here.— Ritta .Maria, the eldest, and his Excellency's God-daughter, to Mr. Francisco Antonio de Carvalho ; Anna Apolonia, to second, to Mr. Luis Francisco da Silva; Rozaura Ditoza, the third, to Mr. J. M. Pinto. On this occasion the Right Rev. the Bishop appeared in the church, in his robes and mitre, and delivered an appropriate and eloquent discourse previous to the marriage ceremony ; after which a High Mass was performed by his Excellency, and chanted by a chorus of excellent music, at which were present all the friends and acquaintances of Sir Roger, and a number of people who had assembled on this occasion. A thrush which had found its way into a sum mer-house in the garden belonging to Mr. GATES, shoemaker, Mailing-street, Brighton, found it a convenient spot for the purpose of rearing its young—therefore set about forming its nest in a corner of the place, which it has completed, and is now sitting on five eggs ; it has become so completely domes ticated, that it never offers to leave its situation on the ap proach of visiters, nor displays the least fear at their in trusions. An inquiry took place yesterday at Union-liall, before Mr. Allen, touching the death of Amelia Clay, who poisoned herself on Tuesday evening last. From the evi dence of Mrs. Oliver, of the New Kent-road, with whom the deceased lived in the capacity of servant, it appeared that between three and four years ago, the deceased became a mem ber of a sect of dissenters, since which period a visible alteration had taken place in her general conduct.
