It is stated in letters from Stockholm of the 6th inst., that some discussion has arisen be tween that Court and the Court of Vienna, in consequence of Prince GUSTAVUS, who is an Officer in the Austrian service, having been styled " Crown Prince of Sweden" in the Aus trian Military Almanack. After several verbal communications it is said that a formal note on the subject has been addressed to the Court of Vienna. The navigation of the Black Sea has also given rise to some differences between Swe den and Turkey. The Porte, it seems, had long promised the free navigation of that Sea to Swedish and Norwegian vessels, but now evades the fulfilment of the promise, in consequence of which the Swedish Ambassador at Constanti nople has been recalled. We seem to have given umbrage to our co temporary, the Times, by ascribing the " Sortes Virgilianw," which appeared yesterday in that paper, to the pen of Mr. MOORE. We shall, hereafter, take care to attribute all anonymous poetic effusions of merit appearing in the Times, to the lively genius of some " Great Unknown," who, phoenix-like, seems to have sprung up on the decease of the first, and whom we have, quite unintentionally, defrauded, on this occasion, of the meed of praise so justly due to him. Honduras Gazettes to the 2 . 5 th of February, have been received at the North and South American Coffee House; they contain little news of importance. The intelligence of their intercourse with the United States being stopped, had given rise to a fear that the revenue of the Colony would suffer a considerable diminution in the ensuing Quarter, the imports from which had largely contributed to it. It appears by official documents, that for the Quarter commencing on the Ist of October, 1826, and ending the 31st of the same year, that the imports amounted to 49,6121. 175., and the exports to 94,2381. 3.. 10d., the public expense during the same period being 6,270/. 11 s. 3d. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, Twelve o' clock. Consols closed yesterday at 83, bnyers, both for money and account, and opened this morning at the same rate ; scarcely any business has hitherto been effected, nor has there been the most trifling variation up to the present hour ; there seems a general wish to see the settlement of the Ministry adjusted before entering into further Opera tions; another cause for the heaviness is the absence of the Jew party, who are enjoying their holidays. India Bonds are 68 9; and Exchequer Bills, 46 7 pm. The Foreign Funds seem to have partaken of the dullness is the English imwket.;. Mexican Benda are 701 Colombian Bonds are a little „recovered, tieing 361 . ; Spanish, 12 13 ; and l6l 1; the Foreign Securities remain at much the same price as yesterday.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff who is a tailor, at Maidenhead, against the defendant who is the Captain Commandant of a corps of volun teers, established in the neighbourhood of Maiden head, for the value of a number of military jackets and trowsers, furnished by the plaintiff for the use of the corps. The only question was the value of the jackets furnished by the plaintiff, upon which some contradictory evidence was adduced. Mr. MARRYATT appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. BROUGHAM on behalf of the defendant.--Ver dict for the plaintiff, Damages 4.01. 19s. 6d. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. -;(THIS DAY. GUILDHALL. WARNING TO SERVANTS IN HIRING THEMSELVES. —A young woman was charged yesterday by M. Alderman Garrett with having given him a false reference, on applying to him for a si tuation as house-maid. When the Alderman ap plied to the family to whom he had been referred by the young woman, as the family in which she had last lived, for her character, he found that she had never been there, and that that family knew nothing of her. She was remanded yesterday ; to-day the Alderman refused to appear any further against her, and therefore she was discharged. The sitting Magistrate gently cautioned her against being guilty of the like offence again. He assured her that though she had not taken a false written character to the Alderman, yet that having given a fictitious reference, she had rendered herself equally liable to a penalty of 201., if the complainant had chosen to proceed. -- - The Committee upon the Wells Election have been in deliberation since half-past ten o'clock, with out having come to a decision up to three. The Court of King's Bench sat this day for the first time since the list term ; and the extraordinary and unparalleled state of public affairs, appears to have in fleuastda i g p ti o e r m ti e o n n t le ar d e e ig r n ee nn o y f d b eg u Le tle among such of the mixed up with po litical events. Messrs. Brougham, Scarlett, and Denman, were observed frequently during the day passing in and out of the Court, and all their movements were as narrowly watched as if the destinies of nations hung upon them. We were amused with the following political e squisse, in a letter Yesterday from a gentleman in London to his friend in the country : cc The Lord Chancello r has acted badly ; The Duke of Wellington wrongly ; M r .

NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING, 1827. THE RIDDLESWORTH STAKES. NEWMARKET, TWELVE O'CLOCK AT NIGHT. The town is at this time all in cornrnoti:,o, in conse quence of the Jockey Club having adjudged the above im portant and valuable Stakes to Glenartney. This is owing to Donna Clara having carried Sib. less than her weight, being entered as an untried mare, when •it was asserted (after the race) that she was ato one. The Jockey Club have, within the last few minutes, decided against Lord Clarendon ; so that Lord Jersey, as the owner of the second horse, Glenartney, receives the stakes (upwards of 2,000/.) BETTING AT THE NEW ROOMS, &c. We give a correct statement of the odds up to the last moment. It will be seen, that Glenartnev is still at the head of the poll, and that Espagnolle is close upon him ; the latter, we believe, has been tried favourably. Rode rick is all the better for being beat, and Chrysalis ad vancing fast. Donna Clara is, of course, first favourite for the Oaks.

HANOVER, APRIL 7.—The strength of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, which had been sensibly affected by an inflammation on the chest; a little while before the operation on his eye, as well as by the operation itself, has greatly improved within the last week. His Royal Highness is well-he bears the day-light much better, and his sight'daily gains strength, so that he can distinguish objects, r both near and at a distance.

LORD NIGH ADMIRAL OFI - 17,NGLAND.—It has been stated that the office of Lord High Adoilial has been in commission ever since the time of James Duke of York ; but this is not the fact.

As the late beautiful Duchess of Devonshire was one day stepping out of her carriage, a dustman, who was accidentally standing by, and was about to regale him self with his accustomed whiff of tobacco, caught a glance of her countenance, and instantly exclaimed, " Love and bless you, my Lady, let me light my pipe in your eyes !" It is said that the Duchess was so delighted with this corn , pliment, : that she frequently afterwards checked the strain of adulation, which was constantly offered to her charms; by saying, " Oh ! after the dustman's compliment, all others are insipid."

PARISH of ST. PAUL, COVENT-GARDEN. Yesterday the annual meeting of the Parishioners for the election of Churchwardens, took place in the Vestry Room. Mr.' WALTER RICHARDSO'A was appointed to fill the Chair; and it was stated that his Grace the Duke of Bedford had nominated Mr. Richardson, and that the Rector had nominated Mr. John Mar shall, as Churchwardens for the ensuing year. Mr. COOPER then rose to propose Mr. Goatley to fill the plaCe of Churchwarden by the election of the parishioners. The proposition having been seconded— Mr. CRIBB, without meaning to reflect upon any gentleman, would declare that no man could be more economical in his application of the funds of the pa rish than the person just proposed. It appeared that the thought of opposition to the appointment had been dropped, but this abandonment of a design which could not be carried into effect, was far from being complimentary to the Candidate, as it had been ascertained, from a canvass which took place, that there was no chance.—(Several persons cried out, " No, no, that is false.") —Mr. Cribb said, that had it been found by those gentlemen, who had gone round the parish professedly upon an another occa sion, that there existed not the slightest chance of a successful opposition by those who had so scandalously maligned and libelled the respectable inhabitants of St. Paul's. A cry of " Who were the first to libel?" and great confusion, which obliged the Chairman to in terpose. Mr. CRIBB thought it necessary to state, that he, would not be prevented, by bellowing and bawling, from vindicating the Vestry, of which he was a member, and which had been grossly traduced by statements in the press ; he defied any one of those who had uttered or sanctioned the libels to prove any distinct charge. Mr. WALKER called upon the Chairman to dis countenance personalities of all sorts. The CHAIRMAN said, that it was usual to permit gentlemen to make any observations which titre in tended for the benefit of the parish. Mr. CRIBB said, that every rational being must acknowledge his right publicly to vindicate the cha racters of those who had been publicly attacked. Mr..Cribb then alluded to what he considered a most unjustifiable act upon the part of the opponents of the Vestry—the prosecution for penalties for pub lishing without affixing the printer's name. He de precated the proceeding. The party of whom he complained, had violated the law in the same man ner, but no notice was taken of the transgression, because it was considered a sort of privilege to send about squibs in cases of parochial disagreements.' That party had charged the Vestry with a multi tude of sins, amongst which were the disgraceful state of the streets from the numbers of thieves and girls of the town who infested them, and the charge of allowing a house in Covent-garden, to which some objection had been made, to be kept open. Now Mr. Corder, who had complained of the latter, and had charged the Vestry with neg lect of their duty, in that respect had himself promised, if he should get appointed to a paro chial office, to remedy the alleged evil. Well, he was appointed, with power to act; but although he had acted with zeal, his efforts were unsuccess ful. The Vestry was accused; but what could they do in the teeth Of a memorial signed by 15 or 16 highly respectable inhabitants of the neighbourhood, declaring that they did not consider the house alluded to a nuisance, but, on the contrary, that it was not only well conducted, but was necessary, and that they desired its continuance. Mr. Cribb' then read the Memorial,Which stated all that he had mentioned. It was accompanied by a letter from Mr. Roebot tom, the owner, which asserted that the opposition had been raised against his house from motives of an unjustifiable nature—that Mr. Corder had requested his custom, with the assurance, that if it were given, nothing unpleasant should pass between the owner of the house and the parish; and that not having succeeded in attaining that object, this sort of retali ation was.adiTtPcl. A. copy of the letter had _ been forwarded to Mr. Corder, but nothing had been heard upon the subject since last April, from which he supposed it might be presumed that the charge was true.—(Cries of " No, no !" and an expression of disapprobation). Mr. CRIBB certainly did not suppose that Mr. Corder was capable of the compromise attributed to him. Mr. CORDER said, that he entered the room without any intention of addressing the parishioners, but he was, as it were, dragged into vindication, by the attack made upon him by Mr. Cribb, who had Pointed at him as the leader of a party, and charged him with having written or sanctioned the publica tion of libels upon the vestry. .He most distinctly and indignantly denied that he had ever, either di rectly. or indirectly, attempted to influence the press, or written abuse of the Vestry. With respect to Mr. Roebottom's letter, which imputed to him that he was influenced by selfish motives, in the oppo sition he had shown to the house, he would declare most solemnly, before God and his country, that the charge was false. In answer to the statement, hat he had not succeeded in putting down the house, he had to say, that he had certainly used his utmost exertions for that purpose. Mr. Cribb had presen ted it at the Ecclesiastical Court, and he (Mr. Corder) had presented it at the grand inquest at Westminster. He declared that he attended that Meeting, not for the purpose of opposing the ap pointment of Mr. Goatley. He and others who doubted the right of the Vestry to exclude the pa rishioners, were most willing to abide a legal deci sion upon that point. Mr. THOMAS said, that some statements had ap peared in the Examiner newspaper, of which he was the publishei. He did not write them, but the Edi tor was ready to justify himself. Mr. MAcittN believed that Mr. Corder was not the author of the paragraphs, but then that gentle man had done other things calculated to inflict pain and do mischief. For instance, the charge made by him against the Vestry, when La called them a pe culating, jobbing, oppressive, tyrannical set, was au instance of this. He (Mr. M.) had dined the day before in the country, and was addressed in a very extraordinary manner by one of his old friends, who had seen the accounts in the London Papers— Why," said he, " what a rascally set of fellows your Vestry is composed of!"—(A laugh.)—His son's ears also were greeted with compliments of the same kind.—" A pretty set of peculating, tyran nical scoundrels your Vestry of St. Paul's is made „e”--(Loud laughter.) Mr. CORDER--I never used the words. Mr. MACHIN said, that the Reporter who wrote the account was present, and would, no doubt, con ' firm his report. The RTEPORTER alluded to said, that the words had been used in his, presence. Mr. MACHIN said, that if the report had been in correct, Mr. Corder ought certainly to have cor rected it, and not let it lie uncontradicted. Mr. Machin then made some observations on the ex cellence of the institution of the Select Vestries, of which he had formed a higher opinion since he had become acquainted with the local interests, of the parish. Mr. ROEBOTTOM begged to be allowed to make a few observations. He declared that Mr. Corder had held out the promise alluded to in the letter, and that he had made a similar assurance to a milkman. Mr. CORDER denied the charge, and said that it was the result of a conspiracy against him. Mr.JACKSON denied that there was any conspiracy. A Parishioner condemned the conduct of some of the members of the vestry, inasmuch as they had not ordered a bell to be fixed in the watch-house. Mr. ,MACIIIN, in making'some observations upon the crime of the Vestry in not placing a bell in the watch-house, aaid, that if it were put up every drunken fellow would be constantly p u lling it, and the watchmen would never get any steeN This in terference with their repose might be an excuse for their indulging elsewhere ire their favourite pastime. —(A laugh.) Mr. CORDER heavily complained of the conduct of Mr. Cribb in dragging forward the letter. Mr. Jactrsort besought the Meeting to exercise a little more Christian charity. After which Mr. Godley was elected unani mously. The new Churchwardens then returned, thanks, and the Meeting separated. PARISH OF ST. LUKE'S. ELECTION OF VESTRY CLERK. In consequence of the resignation of Mr. Wilks, as Vestry Clerk of this parish, an election took place yesterday-, to supply the -vacancy thereby occasioned. - At ten o'clock precisely, Mr. Hughes, the Church warden, took the Chair. _ _ _ Mr. PALLISER wished to ask one question before proceeding to the election. Had Mr. Wilke given up the parish books, accounts, receipts, vouchers, &c. into the proper hands ? Mr. WILIcs said, that be was no longer Vestry Clerk, nor did he attend that Meeting as such. But if he could render any service to the Parish, in con junction with kis Clerk, until another Vestry Clerk was chosen, ke was most willing to do so. A GENTLEMAN proposed as an Amendment, that the other officers should be sleeted prior to the Vestry Clerk, which, after some discussion, was carried by a large majority. The election of the other officers was then pro ceeded with. After it had concluded— Mr. WILKS said, that the next business before the meeting was the election of a Vestry Cl:l.k. A GENTLEMAN said, that on last Easter Tuesday, when the election was going forward, it had been openly stated that no Professional Gentleman could devote his whole time and attention to the duties of the office for the salary allowed by the parish. He thought at the time that the observation was a most improper one ; and he, for one, would vote for that Candidate who could devote his whole time to the affairs of the parish, be that Candidate who lie might. Mr. ELIAs then proposed Mr. James Wall as a fit and proper person to be Vestry Clerk., Mr. BAILICY proposed klr. Imeson, Mr. BATSMAN next proposed Mr. Rowland Wilks, brother to the Member.—(Tremendous applause, and some hisses.) It was said that he was slot a proper person to elect, because it might be necessary to take pro ceedings against the late Vestry Clerk, and it would not be very delicate to compel the son to proceed against the father. Upon looking at the subject in every point of view, he felt confident that it would be beneficial to the parish if Mr. Wilks should be elected, and he felt confident he would conduct him self so as• to merit the entire approbation of the parishioners.—(Cheers.)—Mr. It. Wilks was also prepared to give security to any amount that might be required. Mr. WALKER proposed Mr. Charles Hull. Another GENTLEMAN proposed Mr. Parry. A Mr. SEWELL then addressed the Meeting in fa. your of Mr. Wilks ; after which Mr. WALL addressed the Meeting. Mr. IME3ON then addressed the Meeting. Mr. R. WILES next addressed the Meeting, amidst very general cheers. Since last Michaelmas, I when his father's clerk absconded, he had exclu sively performed -the duties of. Vestry Clerk, and he believed he might, say that, h4.-had 'not a single enemy in the pariah. -Ha -stood -there as Rowland Wilk., and solicited their suffrages. as such. Mr. HULL said, that it was not because u perion could speak a great deal that he was more compe tent for the office than those who were less capable of speech making. For his own part, if he were elected, he would do all in his power to merit the approbation of the parishioners. Captain PARRY Baia, that after such speakers, he must appear to great disadvantage, for he was accus tomed to strike first, and speak - afterwards.-- (Laughter.)—He was anxious to serve the parish, and would do so by night and by day. So anxious was he that they might put him into the workhouse, and clothe him, and feed him, and be would feel happy in doing the duties of the office.—(Cheers.) Several of the Vestrj then addressed the Meet ing, after which the poll was opened. • EXECUTION OF JOHN ORCHARD, FOR FORGERY. This unfortunate man was executed to-day, at the New Drop of the Devon County Gaol. His case excited very general attention, and, from his large family and respectable connexions, produced a con siderable sympathy in the public mind, so that motives of curiosity attracted a vast assemblage of - persons to witness the awful spectacle of his death; And, more so, from the consideration that this un happy victim to the laws of his country, was instru mental, as an occasional preacher in the Methodist connexion, of disseminating those important truths and precepts which, we lament to say, did not sufli e ciently impress his own heart with the real dutzt, he owed to God and to his fellow-men. Sie.Ce the ,entence of condemnation was passed avAinst him, he became gradually more and more r'esigned. At the dreadful crisis, however, when he stood upon eternity's terrific brink, his spirits failed him; and it was not without difficulty on the part of the attend ants that his tottering frame was supported to the platform. During the whole of the melancholy pre parations he was engaged in fervent prayer, offered to the Deity, in broken sentences, and with trembling iccent, though his look and manner bespoke the deepest contrition for his misconduct. His'ejaeula dons dwelt chiefly on the faith and hope with which he felt inspired. On ascending the fatal ladder, and after the rope was adjusted round his neck, he still coutinued to supplicate for mercy, apparently uncon scious of every thing around him ; and it was a very considerable time before the Rev. Mr. Chave, who was unwilling t o i n t errupt hi s devotions,couldeorn nenee the service used upon those occasions— tlhuer i g Chaplainthe performances o v f oi t c h e i : d w u h t i y l e , he hi s re l s e po g h d i c r h o shook beneath him, seemed scarcely equal to the support of his body. It was almost one o'clock Alen the drop was drawn from under him ; and his struggles were not violent, though several seconds elapsed before life was totally extinct. His wife and family (consisting of four small children, and a daughter by a former wife) have been constant in their visits to him; and his wife and daughter, with his wife's aunt, yesterday took their last sad farewell. His brothers, four in number, have also been frequently permitted to see him; one of whom, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Burgess, was with him some time this morning, and left him about five minutes before he was taken from his cell. The force of instinctive affection was so great in one of his children, a little boy only three years of age, that, when he was about to be severed from him, he clung around his neck in the greatest agony, is if conscious of the ignominious end his father was on the point of being brought to. Every inte rest that could possibly be made Was exerted in his favour; and up to Friday last, hopes were enter tained that he would be reprieved; but on Thurs day his brother had an audience with Mr. Peel, who informed ei h r im eu m that his enee s case had attending been it duly were c t o e n o s a d g e g red ra e ntitle him t o mercy. I n record i ng the fate h va u t t ed th t e e of Orchard, we feel more than common sympathy; and among the spectators who witnessed the appal , li n g scene, we believe it was simultaneous. He was about fifty years of age; reared to the business of a farmer, which his appearance evidently be s and si nce hi s remova l f rom S out h Z ea l , hi s iiPat°ikve ; e place, he resided at South Tawton; and lat terly, at St. Thomas, near this city, in which parish be was apprehended. He has left behind him a wife, who is said to be of soft and amiable manners, besides his family of five children, to mourn his pre mature and affecting end.—.E.reter .411freci.
