COURT CIRCULAR. Count Bjornstjerna, the Swedish Minister, trans acted business yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Right Hon. J. Abercrombie visited several of the Ministers yesterday. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial Office from the Governor of the Mauritius. The Marchioness of Lansdowne had a very nume rous evening party on Monday night, at Lansdowne House. A concert, in which Mademoiselle Grisi and several eminent performers assisted, was performed during the evening. BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS• BRUSSELS, JUNE 7.—Their Majesties the King and Queen set out for Paris this morning with their suite, in seven carriaps. The King' s absence will be for a week , that of the Queen for three weeks. We learn by a private letter from Paris that the Spanish government has justrecognised Belgium. Colonel Macerone's steam carriage respecting which the English journals give such wonderful accounts, is expected in a few days at Antwerp. It is expected to travel from Antwerp to Brussels in two hours. BRUSSELS, JUNE B.—The King will return from Paris on Monday week. After his return, his Majesty will visit Flanders. General Hurel will not quit the capital during the King's absence. The Mercury states that the operations for laying down the iron railroad will commence on Monday the 9th. Nu merous placards are posted up in all the streets, inviting good workmen, such as masons, carpenters, boatmen, &c., who want employment, to apply to M. H. Borguet, at Viloorde. We learn that there is no f oun d a ti on f or w h a t i s s t a t e d o f the publication of the programme of the Catholic university. Prince Jerome Bonaparte, we are assured, desired to pass more time at Brussels, but the Belgian Government intimated to the brother of Napoleon that it would not be agreeable to it to see him residing in Belgium. The Prince went from Liege to Spa, where he arrived on the Ist, and thence to Malmedy, a little town on the Prussian frontier. The Eclair says, " It is affirmed that the report of the Queen's pregnancy is not true." This assertion seems probable, as it is not likely she would be allowed to travel, If it were otherwise. The Chamber of Representatives, in its sitting yester day, was engaged in hearing reports on various petitions.— Brussels Papers, June 9. BERLIN, MAY 26.—1 t is now above a week since M. Ancillon returned to Berlin, and nothing transpires either here or at Vienna respecting the negotiations which have taken place in the latter city. The only point which we lear n with some degree of probability is that every thing relating to foreign policy is completed, and that in what concerns Germany, the bases at least are so far laid down that the assembled ministers have only to settle the details. In all essential points, therefore, we may consider the dis cussions as concluded, but the greater is the anxiety of the Public to be made acquainted with the resolutions that are covered with so thick a veil. The changes in our Ministry are not considered at all completed. It is probable that other very important mo- Afieations will be made in it. In the beginning of next 11 ot1th the members of the Royal Family will leave Berlin 4 13 , usual for their summer excursions. Some think that i ',"e King and the Princess of Leignitz will only go to Top and and not till the beginning of July; but others say the ling 'log will go with the Crown Prince and Princess to Ko a„igsberg, and there meet the Emperor and Empress of Itussia. Should this happen, it is howev2r certain, that ~,1 1, ia journey is not connected with any political object. Th e Crown Princess will set out for St. Petersburgh in fortnight at the latest. It seems that a series of splendid e ntertainments is expected to take place in the Russian dr esses, for our Crown Princess has had eighty new besides four state robes of gold embroider with lo ng trai ns , made for this journey.—Frankfort Papers, June 4. LEIPSIC, MAY 26.—We hear that our most eminent booksellers have been called upon by the Government for their opinions, a wish having been expressed in Vienna to know the sentiments of the most experienced booksellers of Germany respecting the means of facilitating and se curing the book trade. It is said that this desire has been complied with, and a memorial presented to his Majesty's Government which contains every thing that concerns this important branch of the trade of Germany, and points out the disadvantage s under which it labours. Our Govern inent, which desire s to promote in all respects the interest of Germany in general, is said to intend to urge the Congress at Vienna to remove these disadvantages, and, as far as tosßible, to establish a general law for the regulation of the 000 k trade. It is thought that every thing that is practi ,eable in this respect will be done, and that th e G erman I ° o ok t ra d e may expect fo enjoy very essential facilities. 4 is also reported that our Cabinet intends to take the ? re sent opportunity to bring forward at Vienna a proposal lor introducing uniform weight, measures, and coinage in all the German states.—Frankfort Papers, June 6. of Mtrivicti, MAY 30.--Letters from Napoli of the 24th f r ,„, s 4 Prtl have been received here, and also letters b "'" King Otho to his Royal parents, which were t fo le oght by Lieutenant Delroche, and which confirm agreeable accounts of his health. The King had deed id laid the first stone of one wing of a palace at Athens, bht the b u ildi ng i s now b egun , whence it is inferred that e Re ge ncy will remain at N a p o li as l ong as it holds the of - reins gov ernment. Th e accounts given in the Political Gazette of Munich that Colocotroni and Coliopulos had been condemned to death, but the former had escaped and been retaken, (to Which a Swabian journal added that in this attempt an engagement had taken place between the partizans of the conspirators and the garrison,) is premature and wholly unfounded. On the 24th of April the public trial of the persons con cerned in the plot had not even begun. It was thought they would commence in the following week, in what was larmerly the Bouleotikon (hall of the Congress). It was !Yen doubtf u l w h et h er a further delay would not take place , 1 , 1 1 the a pp roac hi ng i nstalment of regular courts of justice, triat the accused, in case of their being condemned, may " able to appeal to the Court of Cassation.

WARWICK BOROUGH BILL.—The Lords have already been engaged sixteen days, or rather nights, in examining witnesses at the bar on this bill ; they have printed six hundred folio pages of evidence ; 1 / 4 4 having got thus far with proof on matters of `` treating," the counsel are desired to proceed with t he evidence of bribery."

AN ALARMING SIGIIT.—Last Friday week It farmer from the neighbourhood of Galston took his wife to see the wonders of the microscope now exhibit lag in our town. The various curiosities seemed to please the good woman very well, till the animalcules Professed to be contained in a drop of water came to b e shown off; these seemed to po or Janet not so very tl eaSant a sight as the others ; she sat patiently, o wever, till the " water tigers," magnifi e d to t h e 3 u i le of twelve feet, appeared on the sheet fi g h t i ng c ; th their usua l ferocity.

INSTALLATION OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. (From the Correspondent of a Morning Contemporary.) OXFORD, JUNE 10.---The important 10th of June has come, and, as I write, is almost past, for Oxford. Carriages rolled incessantly through the town almost as thickly as they are wont to going to an opera, to set down the ladies at an awning erected before the entrance assigned to them, where they had to wait for the moment of admission nearly as long as an hour and a half, and where in doing so they displayed the same philosophic patience and unflinching endurance which they are ever known to display in the hour of a squeeze. They were very numerous, dressed in the most gay and elegant manner, and altogether such a lovely fellowship as seldom sheds light and delight upon the severe retreats of scholastic life. When the admission door opened, the crushing and driving through the narrow opening of iron gates, resembled what we can conceive to have been the torrent of old Picton's " fighting brigade" bursting through a breaeh at Badajos, or St. Sebastian. At about a quarter to eleven, however, all those who could get into the theatre, both the gentle and ungentle, had attained their places, and awaited the sequel of the day's proceedings. In the meantime the Colleges were sending forth the chief men in their full robes, who were seen on all sides passing and repassing through antique archway or quadrangle, Grecian or Gothic, and hurrying off to the old hall of the university college. Thither, too, proceeded from the hotels and lodgings of the town the various personages who, by virtue of old or lately received honorary degrees of LL. D., were entitled to take places in the Chancellor's procession. In the High-street the houses were filled from top to bottom, while the unaccommodated multitude were massed together in full occupation of the road. In fact, expectation was never more on tiptoe than on this important morning in this fair town. At length eleven o'clock came. The arched gateway of the uni versity almost immediately afterwards was thrown open, the imposing scholastic procession commenced its movement out of the olden hall of the college, and t a li p e li l2:llo c f , Wcoealtl,inbguttotonnaetditusph to the His Grace wore i ; ue riband and star, and, over all, the Chancellor's gown, richly ornamented with gold lace ; he also wore the college cap, with a gold tassel. Au reste, his Grace looked uncommonly well, in fine health and spirits. He was supported by the Vice-Chancellor. Imme diately after him followed those noble personages who formerly received honorary degrees at the university. Amongst those we had no difficulty in recognising was the Marquis of Londonderry,- who wore his full hussar uniform, and over it his scarlet robe of Doctor of Civil Law. The Marquis, however, retained his sable skin cap, with its lofty plume, doubtless to the great dis-edification of all Alma Mater. We ex pected that his Grace the Chancellor would have directed the Proctors to do their duty and see to the pre servation of the University costumes. There were about 30 of these old LL. D.s. After them came six of the Bishops ; then the newly-elected Noble Doctors of Law; then the Doctors of Divinity and the Doctors of Physic and Civil Law ; and, finally, the Proctors of the University. The appearance of this train was uncommonly brilliant, both from the great number of the individuals who formed it, and from the contrast of the black and scarlet silk robes and the military uniforms worn by them. I may here remark that the Duke of Cumberland did not of course join the pro cession, but that a few moments previous to its exit from the University College he proceeded to the theatre in his private carriage. As the procession passed along the route, which has been mentioned, the Duke of Wellington frequently received hearty cheers ; but those tributes of goodwill were more especially paid at his setting out, and at his arrival at his destination. (From another Correspondent.) OXFORD, JUNE 10.—Shortly after eleven o'clock the Duke of Cumberland's arrival was announced. His Royal Highness was dressed in full Hussar uniform, and was conducted by Dr. Jones (one of the Curators) to the chair of state, which was especially provided for him. The illustrious duke, in addition to his personal suite, was followed by the chief baron, Lord Lynd hurst, the Earl of Clanwilliam, Lord Montague, and some other peers. So soon as he had seated himself a loud cheer was given for "the Chancellor of Dublin," which his Royal Highness acknowledged by bowing repeatedly to the whole assemblage. In the mean.. time several ardent youths raised some other acclama tions connected with the Tory interest, but a voice from the gallery loudly exclaimed, " Let us wait for Wellington," and this was re-echoed by a shout "both loud and long." They had not long to wait, for in about five minutes afterwards the noble and gallant Chancellor, wearing the state costume of his office, entered in grand procession ; and words were vain to describe the enthusiastic spirit in which he was re ceived. Nothing could equal the plaudits that resounded on all sides as he advanced towards his chair ; and never could any countenance h ave mani fested more heartfelt satisfaction than his upon the occasion. The several noble and distinguished per sonages by whom his Grace was attended took their seats according to the prescribed order of precedence. Next to him, on his right, sat the Earl of Eldon, as high steward of the university, and next to that venerable nobleman was the Duke of Cumberland, but detached by a short intervening space. On the right of the Duke of Cumberland Prince Lieven, the late Russian Ambassador, took his place. On the same side were the Marquis of Down shire, the Marquis of Londonderry, Lord Hill, Lord Monson, the Bishop of Worcester, Sir George Mur ray, and a great number of other persons of high dis tinction. Directly to the left of the Chancellor sat the Archbishops of Canteibury, York, and Armagh, with several suffragans, among whom was the Bishop of Exeter, and that right rev, prelate, as one of the most strenuous supporters of the church, was hailed with animated demonstrations of applause. The as semblage of doctors, both of divinity and law, was ex ceedingly numerous. The spectator, on contemplat ing the scene the moment the Chancellor had taken his seat, must have been almost lost in admiration of the splendour it presented, and at the magnificent associations connected with it. Wherever he turned his eyes he beheld before him some of the finest and most convincing samples of the rank, talent, and beauty of Great Britain. The ladies occupied four rows of benches running all round the semicircular portion of the theatre, and they also had exclusive possession of the whole space at the extremity oppo site the Chancellor's chair. Their attire was, in ge neral, extremely rich ; but, at the same time, so ap propriately light and tasteful, that nothing could pos sibly add to its effect, as heightening the varied asso ciations with which they came into contact. It is not too much to say that the spectacle was decidedly the grandest that the classic walls of Oxford have ever witnessed. The first proceeding connected with the ceremonies of the day, according to the programme, was the no mination of certain noble and eminent persons for the honorary degree of Doctor of Civil Law. Accord ingly the Chancellor, after reading from a written paper the usual Latin formula, went through the fol lowing list :, His Excellency Baron Dedel, Minister Plenipotentiary from the King of the Netherlands, &c. ; his Excellency Count Matuszewic, late Minister Plenipotentiary from the Emperor of Russia ; the Duke of Buccleuch, K.T. ; the Duke of Newcastle, K.G. ; the Marquis of Salisbury ; the Marquis of Bute ; the Earl of Winchilsea and Not tingham • the Earl of Warwick, K.T. ; the Earl De La- Warr ; the Earl of Rosslyn, G. C.B. ; the Earl of Wil ton ; the Earl Brownlow ; the Earl of Falmouth ; Lord Granville Somerset ; Lord Fitzroy Somerset, K.C.B. ; Lord Francis Egerton ; Viscount Strangford, G.C.B. ; Lord Burghersh ; the Right Hon. Sir John Vaughan, Knt., Judge of the Common Pleas ; Sir James Allan Park, Knt., Judge of the Common Pleas, Sir James Scarlett, Knt., King's Counsel. After having read over the several names, his Grace proposed them for admission in the same order, and Dr. Phillimore, who was to present each of them in turn, then commenced a Latin address to the chair, which called forth, at occasional intervals, the warmest manifestations of applause. The following is a translation of the form of ad mission b p y ro m n y on a n u c t e h d or b i y ty t a h n e d C th h a an t c o e f l t lo h r e the ho n o ur o cUniver sity,ivi admit l L aw., r u E to Each h Doct or th in e d h iv o i n d o u r a a l r u y po d n egr wh ee om off was conferred, went up and shook hands with the Chancellor, the moment these words were uttered. Dr. CREAMER, the public orator, then delivered the usual speech in Latin, but the pressure of time prevents us from even adverting to its merits in the present communication ; and for the same reason we cannot notice the Latin prize poem, and English essay which followed. At half-past one o'clock the Chancellor declared the convocation to be closed, and his Grace then re tired from the theatre amidst acclamations as loud and enthusiastic as when he had entered, LITERATURE. ENCYCLOPIEDIA OF GEOGRAPHY. Part IV. London, 1834. The fourth part of this comprehensive publication comprises the geography of England, Scotland, and Ireland, which is given with remarkable care and mi nuteness, and has the additional recommendation of numerous well executed wood cuts, illustrative of some of the first landscapes and baronial edifices in the kingdom. We do not know any work so useful of its kind as the present. When completed, it will form a store-house of valuable practical knowledge. BRITISH MAGAZINE. As a mere work of amusement, this magazine puts forth few or no claims to notice ; it is of a grave, polemical character, and chiefly devoted to the discussion of doctrinal points of belief. The most instructive article in the number before us, is an essay on the " Intellectual State of the Rabbi nical Jews." CHURCH OF SCOTLAND MAGAZINE. A periodical, as may be surmised from its title, of a very restricted character. It is ably and fearlessly conducted, though in its essay on the " Present Dangers and Duties of the Church of Scotland," it shows rather too decided a tendency to croaking and despondency. We do not by any means agree with the writer that " the godless and the profligate are at present a mighty mass in Scotland." The fact is decidedly the reverse. QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF AGRICUL- TURE. A work appealing equally to the agriculturist and the mechanic, the man of science and the utili tarian. Had we space or time we should quote some portions of a valuable essay on the expediency of providing schools for the instruction of farmers' sons in the physical sciences, but we must reserve them for some more fitting opportunity. ILLUSTRATIONS OF TAXATION, No. 111. London, 1834. This tale, or rather section of a tale, for we are threatened with 'a continuation—though it has an imposing title, merely illustrates the truism that over taxation is a great nuisance--a novel and edifying discovery, of which we may say in the words of Hamlet, " There needs no ghost, my Lord, rise from the grave to tell us this." METROPOLITAN. The question of the " Ballot" is very shrewdly and temperately argued in this number, and its expediency insisted on as the necessary sequel of reform. The writer observes, "It is fit that wealth should have influence, and we confidently assert that the ballot will tend to secure, and not to weaken it. Indeed, in every point of view in which we look at the question, we shall find that the operation of the ballot is the working of strict moral justice ; and though it does not insure per fection, it is a very considerable approach towards it." " Chit-chat" is a pleasant gossiping series of dialogues on the lighter topics of the day, as its name imports : it is modelled . somewhat after the fashion of Blackwood's " Noctes,"though it wants the fire, the fancy, and the dashing recklessness of manner of those far-famed " discourses." " Vice Versa, a Peter-Pindaric" has more of a Hood than a Walcot mannerism about it. " The Wedding Garment" is a striking tale, though the incidents are rather strained and unnatural. It might form a good subject for an after-piece at one of the minor 'theatres. " The Pacha of Many Tales" is from the sprightly pen of the Editor, Captain Marryat, to whom also we are indebted for a continuation of those graphic series of sketches entitled " Jacob Faithful." In closing our hasty notice of this number, we must not omit to mention the brief reviews at the end, which are drawn up in a very terse and candid spirit. THE BOTANICAL REGISTER; OR, ORNAMENTAL FLOWER-GARDEN AND SHRUBBERY. BY DR. LINDLEY. No. 4of Volume VII. New Series. Professor Lindley is most happy in his selection of fine plants drawn for this work, and his directions for their cultivation are most judicious. With such an authority and guide we shall not be surprised at seeing establishments, both public and private, on extensive scales, rapidly increasing. The present number is enriched by the following, —a very pretty Plalystemon, hitherto unknown to us—was sent by Mr.. Douglas, from Cali fornia, to the Horticultural Society, in whose garden it flowered last September ; the few seeds it produced have failed to vegetate, and the plant is therefore lost to our gardens ; fortunately, however, the beautiful drawing presented in this work was made before the specimen withered. The flower is of a pale straw colour, and sweet-scented, with grace fully growing foliage. If the plant could again be procured it would probably be preserved, as its habit is now clearly understood. Saffron-coloured Escla schollzia is another addition to our hardy orna mental plants, also introduced from California. For brilliancy of colour it is unrivalled in the flower garden ; when the sun shines the petals unclose, and, by their rich orange colour and velvety lustre, produce an effect even more splendid than even E. Californica. Milfoil-leaved Gilia is a hardy annual from California, resembling in its foliage and the arrangement of its flowers G. Capitata ; but its ap pearance is much more green, and its habit is dwarf ish ; the flowers, too, are purple instead of sky-blue. It will grow in any soil, and produces seed in abun dance, so that it will soon become as common as G. Capitata itself. Linaria Dalmatica (Dalmatian Toad-flax) is a hardy perennial from Persia, pre ' sented to the Horticultural Society by Sir Henry Willock. The shoots spring, with very few branches, straight from the ground, and rise to the height of two or three feet ; they and the leaves are covered over with a dense bloom, which contrasts agreeably with the deep yellow of the showy flowers. It is increased without difficulty by dividing the crown :of its roots. A double white tree pceony, raised by the Earl of Mountnorris, with whom it almost exclusively exists, is a noble and beautiful variety. Bletia Gracilis from Mexico, and Aristo lochia Chilensis (Chilian Birthwort) form the sub jects of the number. This last is an extremely curious plant from Chili—indeed we do not dis cover any mention of the species among writers on South American botany. It is an herbacious plant, delighting in stony places, and will be found suffi ciently hardy to bear our climate, if protected from wet and the severest cold in winter : it is increased by "cuttings. As the men were emptying the iron tanks in the dock-yard on Tuesday, which had been the reser voirs for the fresh water for the convicts lately on board the Captivity hulk, a live eel was discovered, which measured just two feet in length. The eel was, doubtless, very small when first introduced, and must have attained its maturity in the tank.—Plymouth Journal. FROM LAST NIGHTS GAZETTE. LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S-OFFICE, JUNE 6, 1834.

THE WINE AND SPIRIT TRADES.- Yesterday an adjourned meeting of the merchants and others engaged in the wine and spirit trades was held at the Commercial Sale-room, Mincing-lane, to take into further consideration the measures to be adopted in consequence of the proposed increase of rates by the London and St. Katharine Dock Companies. The meeting was very numerously and respectably attended. After some discussion Mr. H. Pidgeon took the chair. Mr. Barnes, the chairman of the previous meeting, and also chairman of the wine and spirit committee, then handed in the resolutions passed on this day week. The resolutions, on the motion of Mr. Walton, were received and confirmed. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT HEATH RACES. Ascot Heat 1, Tuesday. The steady and increasing patronage bestowed Upon this meeting by his Majesty, by infusing new energy into the influential supporters of the Turf, has produced in the course of the last two or three `•ears several valuable stakes in addition to those already established; and the Gold Cup, divested of its unpopular restric tions, can now boast an importance rivalled only by the splendid prize annually run for at Goodwood. The spirit of improvement is still progressing, and we find that, independently of many fresh stakes (the offspring of dinner parties), the subscription for the Cup next year surpasses the most brilliant of this or any other meeting. The list for the present week averages rather more than six races per day, most of them of considerable value, and two or three especially interesting to the public. The Eclipse Foot on Thursday rests between Galopade (who won it last year), Glaucus, and Galata, three formidable public horses, and sufficiently near together in their performances to prevent that ima gined certainty which so frequently lessens, or alto gether destroys, the pleasure and excitement of racing. By the conditions of this prize, the challengers and challengee are now required to stake 50 sovs. each, in stead of 100 sovs. as last year, his Majesty still adding the 200 sovs. originally granted. The Cup entry is excellent ; it includes Rockingham, winner of the St. Leger last year; Muley Moloch, winner of the Port; Galata, an Oaks winner; Marpessa, Revenge, and twenty-one others. A good field may be expected, but the betting men, having their Derby books in an unsettled state, have not been very busy on it. Seve ral Derby and Oaks horses will show in the course of the meeting. The approach of the meeting was sufficiently indi cated by the immense traffic on the road during the whole of Monday. The postmasters reaped a rich harvest, and declare that it is long since so many horses were in requisition; it must be admitted, how ever, that, while the majority were bound for Windsor, no inconsiderable portion went on to Oxford to join in the ceremonies and festivities consequent on the In stallation of his Grace the Duke of Wellington. Many of the visiters to that " seat of learning" intend to take Ascot on their return, so that a brilliant Cup day may be expected. Yesterday was the " opening-day," and, despite clouds, dust, occasional showers, and (worst of all) the doings at Oxford, right royally was it attended ; crowds flocked to the Heath in all directions, in the joyful anticipation of good sport, fine company, and a sight of the King ! Nor were their expectations dis appointed ; the racing was plentiful, the assemblage numerous, and their Majesties, with a sacrifice of per sonal feeling which can only be appreciated by those who know their indifference to the amusement, were present, and remained in the Royal Stand during the whole of the afternoon. The races were appointed to commence at half-past one o'clock, but it was not till ten minutes before two that the Royal equipages arrived on the ground. They were ten in number, viz., eight carriages and four, and two-pair pony phaetons. Their Majesty's were greeted with the usual marks of loyalty and respect ; but there was nothing enthusiastic in their reception either when they arrived on the ground or appeared at the window of their stand. The suite consisted of his Serene Highness Prince Hohenlohe Langenburg, his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, Duke of Dorset, Duke of Cleveland, Duke of Grafton, Earl of Albe marle, Earl of Lichfield, Lord Denbigh, Lord and Lady Fitzclarence, Lady Clinton, Sir P. Sidney, Sir A. Barnard, Sir F. Watson, Miss Eden, Miss Wilson, Miss Hope Johnstone, Mr. Shiffner, Mr. Davis, the Rev. Mr. Wood, &c. Besides the above the following fashionables were also present:— Marquis Conyngham, Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter, Marquis and Marchioness of Tavistock, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Countess of Lichfield, Earl and Countess of Uxbridge and daughters, Earl Stradbroke, Earl Verulam, Earl and Countess of Maryborough, Count D'Orsay, Count Bathiany, Count Szehynei, Lord G. Bentinck, Lord J. Fitzroy, Lord A. Conyngham, Earl Mul grave, Sir S. and Lady Graham, Sir M. Wood, Hon. General and Mrs. Grosvenor, Hon. G. and Mrs. Anson, Hon. Captain Rous, Hon. B. Craven, Sir F. Burdett, Colonel Peel, Captain Byng, Captain Hunter, Captain Martyn, Captain Ricardo, Captain Gardnor, Messrs. De Burgh, S. Stanley, M. Stanley, S. Fox, M.P., Etwall, Irby, Payne , Bouverie, F. Chalton, Spalding, Cottrell, Worrell, A. Hunter, Batson, and many others. The course was crowded, but owing to the activity of Messrs. Gardener, Leadbetter, Smith, Ellis, &c., under the superintendence of Sir F. Roe, everything went off smoothly. _ _ _ Of the running, which did not terminate till six o'clock, we subjoin particulars : The St. James's Palace Stakes of 100 sovs. each, h. ft, for three-year-olds ; colts, Bst. Vbs. ' andfillies. Bst. 3lb s . ; th e winner of the Derby to carry 71bs., the winner of the Oaks, bibs. extra; new mile. 18 subs. Had Plenipotentiary been out of this stake a good field might have been expected from so full an entry ; but, not withstanding the 71b. inflicted on him for being the best horse of his day, Mr. Batson determined to add another to the many thousands already standing on the creditor side of his account. Of the seventeen horses engaged in the stakes not one had the temerity to face him, so that with no other trouble than a gentle canter (performed in a slovenly manner) the " first fruits" of the St. James's Palace Stakes followed the Derby. After the walk over the horse was paraded opposite the Royal Stand, and seemed to excite the admiration of all beholders. Should he keep well it will save trouble to let him canter over for the St. Leger. Produce Sweepstakes of 100 sovs. each, h. ft. ; colts, Bst. 71b. ; fillies, Bst. 31b. (31b and Mb. allowed, &c.)

It was considered so great a certainty that 5 to 1, indeed almost any odds you liked, were laid upon Malibran. Repentance took the front at starting, and managed to keep it for about three-quarters of a mile ; Malibran then took it up with a lead of three or four lengths, was never after headed, and won cleverly by a length.

Th e result proves that the Epsom running was perfectly correct.

PERTY IN FRANCE. BEAUCLERK V. TITE•DUKE OF RICHMOND. The first hearing of a suit, which excites great in terest in France, relative to the Duchy of Aubigny, instituted by Mr. C. Beauclerk, on behalf of himself and other claimants, against the Duke of Richmond, came on before the Tribunal de Premiere Instance of Sancerre, department of the Cher, in which the pro perty is situated, on Monday last. Mons. Jollivet, as sisted by Mons. Bethmont and Mr. Okey, the English barrister, appeared for the claimants, and Mons. Mo reau for the Duke of Richmond. For the plaintiffs it was contended by Mons. Jollivet, in a luminous speech, that the property of Aubigny, situated in France,must be exclusively governed by French law, according to Art. 3, Code Civil ; that at the death of the third Duke of Richmond in 1806, all entails whatsoever— rights of primogeniture, of partage noble, and of mas culinity—having been abolished by the laws of 1792, the estate of Aubigny became subject to division amongst the co-heirs of e third Duke ; that the Droit d'Aubaine. though existing at that period, was never in operation with respect to this property, as the French government only sequestred the estate, and by treaty in 1814 restored it for the benefit of those to whose prejudice it was sequestred—thus re nouncing the rights which the Droit d'Au baine gave it. Monsieur Jollivet then clearly de monstrated, not only the absence of all inten tion, but the absolute inability of the French govern ment by treaties, or otherwise tnan by an express law, to have granted the estate of Aubigny to the Duke of Richmond personally in prejudice to his co-heirs, and that, moreover, the very treaty on which the Duke pretends to rest his claim contains nothing which gives him an exclusive right to the whole ; he considered the Duke of Richmond as having acted as representa tive for all the co-heirs, responsible to them for all sums received either by way of indemnity for damage done to the property, for the loss of mesne profits, or otherwise ; and he concluded by some forcible obser vations as to the impossibility of re-establishing in France by treaties, and in favour of foreigners, insti tutions which the legislature had long since exploded as militating both against common law and common sense, and which, as regarded Sancerre in particular, doomed a portion of that arrondissement to the per petual vassalage of an English Duke, whose very existence, until his visit a few days since, was known only by report. It was contended, on the other hand, by Monsieur Moreau, that to destroy the right of the Duke would be to strike at the root of all diplomatic conventions ; that the claims of the Duke himself, as of all other persons, had been extinguished by the operation cf the Droit d'Aubaine before its repeal in France ; but that the rights of the Duke had been re stored to him by the treaties of 1814 and 1815 ; that the French government and the high contracting powers were not confined by the strict terms of com mon law, and were by the law of nations at liberty to grant the duchy of Aubigny to whomsoever and in whatsoever manner they deemed fit ; that the duke, being an English subject, they had applied the English rather than the French law to his possession, and that, being in possession, he had a prima facie title, which the claimants were not now in a position to dispute. These and many similar arguments having been replied to and combated by the other side, the Procureur du Roi requested a few days to consider the case before he made his report ; the judgment of the Court will, therefore, not be known for a week or ten days, although there appears but one opinion as to the ultimate result. The case excited great interest in the neighbourhood, the general feeling being very strong in favour of the claimants. The Court was excessively crowded, and the fair part of the auditory gave satisfactory proof that they were fully sensible of the justice done to their sex by the laws of France, and the cruelty inflicted by the laws of England on their neighbours on the other side of the channel. GREAT IMPROVEMENTS IN ST. JAMES'S PARK.—The Commissioners of Woods and Forests on Monday engaged a number of workmen in removing the iron railings fronting the ornamental water in St. James's Park, for the purpose of considerably widening the new intended carriage road which is to be immedi ately made in the front of the new palace. A large quantity of gravel and rubbish, which has been placed there for some months, is now being sifted, for the purpose of heightening the road between six and seven feet. Bricklayers are engaged erecting an arched brick wall, which is built in a circular form, and will be the means of giving upwards of twenty-five feet of ground at each end of the park fronting the palace, and six feet in the centre, by taking from out of the interior of the park the ground on which the iron rail work will be placed, similar to what it was before. Immediately that the road is completed, the high wooden palings which front and obscure the palace will be taken down. Workmen are also busily em ployed in erecting very superb iron railings, upwards, of ten feet in height, the tops of which are richly gilt, fronting the palace ; plots of green sward ale 'being laid down, and the carriage entrance, ;:nrough the grand triumphal arch, is being gravell‘:,d, elegant stone lodges for the porters belonging to, St. James's park to reside in, are also to be built. The whole of these great improvements, which will have an elegant ap pearance, are to be completed with all possible despatch. DUNDEE.—An open rupture has taken place between the masters and operatives of Dundee, and in this instance the former would appear to have been in some degree the aggressors, the manufacturers hav ing issued a joint declaration to the effect that they would give employment to no individual unless he previously renounced all connexion with the weaver's union. In order to counteract this harsh, and we think impolitic, decision on the part of the manu facturers, a general meeting of the trades was held last week in the Magdalene-yard, when a series of resolutions were adopted, stigmatising the procedure of the masters as tyrannical, and agreeing to support those operatives who might stand out. The number present is supposed to have been not less than fifteen thousand. The streets have ever since presented the thriftless spectacle of being occupied with groups of idle workmen. The people of Dundee might surely do something better than go int o a war f are o f t hi s sort. Herald. THE LATE SIR WILLIAM COSWAYb--- The remains of Sir William Cosway, the unfortunate gentleman who was killed by the overturning of the Criterion Brighton coach, on Saturday afternoon last, in the Borough, will not, in consequence of the ar rangements made by his family, be removed from the residence of Mr. Lever, surgeon, Bridgehouse-place, until Saturday morning next, when the funeral is to take place. The procession will proceed direct from the house of Mr. Lever to the parish church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, where the body will be interred in the vault of his respected family. Lady Cosway, widow of the deceased gentleman and daughter of Sir Thomas Farquhar, the banker, in St. James's-street, is expected, provided her health will permit, to be in attendance on the melancholy occasion. Sir William, who was fifty-two years of age, was the unsuccessful candidate for East Kent, in which county he had con siderable estates. He was formerly secretary to Lord Collingwood, and was engaged in the action and re ceived a severe wound in the head at the battle of Trafalgar. Sir William Cosway was the son of a baker, at Devonport. His first e m pl o y ment was i n t h e victual ling-office in the Dock-yard, from whence he entered the navy. There he fill e d success i ve l y t h e situations of captain's secretary, purser, &c., and eventuall:; became secretary to the late Lord Collingwooo, b y whom he was highly respected, and whose c! - .mfidence he enjoyed in the highest degree. hyleed, so well did that gallant and intellectin!loft.Z:er think of M r .

His horse shy e d at a light tax cart which was coming n an opposite direction, started off with fiThat speed, but being pulled on the wrong side can right upon the tax cart, the shafts of which pene trated and broke both Mr. Cosway's legs. This cala mity was an awful one under his circumstances, and whether from the tediousness of recovery, or the im patience of confinement, compelled him to confine himself to his chamber for some years. The young lady bad constancy enough to wait no less than three years for his recovery, but that being still regarded as doubtful, she married another. In a very few weeks afterwards, however, Mr. Cosway's recovery was pro..- nonnced complete, and he, too, married the lady who is still living to lament his loss. His career since has been more or less known to the public, and, we be lieve, there is but one opinion as to person a l p ro bi ty and the purity of his public stunt, I MI I I ze all not
