, 1"11,771, c 1 kt 4\A ~- SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. A discussion of more thaTicommon interest took place last night in the House of Lords on a petition from 63 resident members of the University of Cambridge, recom mending to their Lordships " the expediency of abroga ting, by legislative enactment, every religious test exacted from members of the University, before they proceed to degrees, whether of bachelor, master, or doctor, in arts, law, and ph}sic." Previous to any remark suggested by the debate or conversa ion which followed the speech and motion of Lord Grey for the receiving of the said peti tion, we cannot refrain from canal the reader's notice to that admirable document itself, which we have inserted in arother column, and which is alike distinguished by perspicuous statement, by nervous argument, by the knowledge it displays of the practical connection be tween our civil and religious institutions, and the ener getic and lucid brevity wherewith it expounds the paramount reason for rendering the spirit of that academic system, through which men are launched into active life in this country, conformable to the enlarged and amended spirit which has of late been breathed into the temporal pAicy of the nation. The following passages, suggesting a sound and liberal view of the question, as it affects at once the interests of the dissenters and of the universities —and, further, as it illustrates the harmony which ought to re:gn between our civil and ecclesiastical legislation, could not be excelled, in our opinion, for clearness, force, or simplicity:— " Your petitioners conscientiously believe, that if the prayer of this petition be granted, the great advantage of good academic education might be extended to many excellent men who are now, for conscience' sake, debarred from a full partici pation in them, though true friends to the insitutions of the country; and your petitioners are convinced this is the best way at once to promote the public good and to strengthen the foundations of thecivil and ecclesiastical establishments of this realm. '' The university is a body recognized by the law of England as a lay corporation, invested with important civil privileges, and on . that account resting on no secure foundation which is not in harmony with the social system of the state. Your petitioners therefore humbly beg leave to suggest, that as the legislativebodies of the United Kingdom have repealed thp Test Act, and admitted Christians of all denominations to seats in Parliament and to places of dignity and honour, they think it both impolitic and unjust that any religious test should be exacted in the university, previously to conferring the civil privileges implied in the degrees above enumerated." Now, these are the sentiments, as described by Lord Grey, who presented the petition, of nine professcrs, two heads of houses, 11 tutors, and many of the most en lightened and eminent men in that great sent of learning, 63 in number—a minority we admit, but a most respect. able minority, out of ' total of 170, of which the body of residents consists. The names of some of the petitioners were given by Lord Grey, and will be found in our report of the proceedings; nor do wd much envy the taste or judgment of those recusants who shrunk from following such examples. The observations of the petition were ear. estly and ably exemplified by the noble mover. His lordship well stated the injustice under which the noncon formistato the doctrines of the church of England laboured, from the partial and tantalizing liberty possessed by them, of pursuing their studies just to that point at which the recompense, though but of an honorary nature, is placed within the reach of other students, when the dissenter is told that be alone has nothing further to aspire to—that in this case there shall be toil, but there shall not be harvest—that far him Virtue shall be " her own reward ;" or is it that there pet vades his mind an original taint—an intrinsic and indefeasible vile ness, which no intellec.o tl nor moral culture can eradicate, which no benefit bestowed, no sympathy excited, no sense of obligation nor capability of attachment can humanize up to that ordinary level at which man becomes fitted for equal rights to social advantages with his fellows ? Can the intelligent and conscientious Dissenter fail to be deeply wounded by treatment so humiliating as this ? Is it giving fair play to our Universities to fill the hearts of so many of the youth of England with feelings of mortification and resentment wherewith the refusal to them of honours which they have fairly earned cannot but imbue them ? For be it recollected all this wbi'e, that Dissenters may enter at Cambridge, and, subjecting themselves to the strict discipline of that university, may have all of mental labour but its fruits, which, at the end of three years, however signal the progress and eminent the superiority of the Noncon formist pupil to all his contemporaries, are of necessity withheld from him. Lord Grey was followed by the Duke of Wellington, in a speech which our desire to behave towards that brave and barbarous theologian— that infant philosopher, and obsolete statesman, with respect, prevents us from particularly characterizing. His Grace got no further, so far as we can judge from the report, than by way of premise, that the university " was a corporation," and therefore, as an inference, that there was no virtue in an act of Parliament sufficient to relieve a dissenter from an oath, or from articles which his conscience forbade him to swear or subscribe to, —and this fretn the lips of the very man who, when minister, broke in upon the legal rights of all the corfora lions in England, by exempting nonconformists from the tests which such bodies had hitherto imposed ! But per haps the most edifying passage in the speech of the gallant Chancellor of the Ut.iversity of Oxford was that wherein he alleged thst many of the dissenters Here athiests, and, moreover, when he denominated the 39 articles as " Chris am articles," manifestly implying that they were the only Christian articles—that they and Christianity were iden tified ; and that as nothing was Christian whit h was not to be found in the articles, so he who refused to swallow the whole of the articles had not a Christian swallow. For our parts, we concluded nothing frcm his Grace's dictum upon that tough morsel of controversial theology, but that this illustrious Doctor of.the Cannon Law was about as familiar with the Christian religion as he was with the 39 articles. His Grace's ambition throughout the evening was plainly to prove his qualification for the recent dig nity conferred upon him ; but great indeed was the fall of Lord Grenville's mantle when it lighted on a pair of epauletted shoulders. We wonder how Sir Robert Peel, who, we hear, was an auditor on this occas'on, relished the sort of overtures made by the noble duke to the re spect and gratitude of the Dissenting body. We are much mistaken if the shrewd member for Tamworth does not feel considerably galled by the chains of his old political alliance, now alike unprofitable and unpromising. What would he not give to see the dissolution of partnership .Gazetted? Lord Ellenborough took pains to show how Gar he fell abort of his great commander in orthodoxy, AGA contempt far the Dissenters. His lordship, in this instance, spoke—we had almost said—" absolute sense." The Doke bad literally jumped headlong down a precipice, and big frightened subalterns refused to follow. On the pungent answers of the Lord Chancellor to his Grace, we iiave not time for more tban a single observation, which is merely to recall that happy phrase where the learned lord, in alluding to the want of all medical instruction at the English Universities, although to them alone belonged the right of conferring the degree of Doctor, said that they " not only monopolized the privilege of making doc tors, but they monopolized also the incapacity to teach them." Lord Durham terminated the debate with a series of clear and striking observations upon the tetal incompa tibility of the existing resttaints with the wants, the will. and the genius of society, as at present constituted, and the impossibility of long maintaining a system at variance with every principle of commonsense and justice.— Times. The discussion which took place in the House of Lords last night on the presentation of the petition from the university of Cambridge, praying that the dissenters might be admitted to take degreis in those learned bodies, proves that all is not likely to be plain sailing with the dissenters. There did, we believe, exist a very general svish, both in and out of Parliament, that the dissenters ahould be relieved from all the real and practical grievances under which they laboured; but the coulee adopted by vine of them in striking directly at the connexion of Church and State, was calculated to embarrass their ~.,.armei! friends, and to alienate their timid supporters Draw a cause which they considered just in itself. A por tion of the dissenters are, therefore, accountable to the whole body for having by their rashness injured the position of their cause at the very moment when they were appealing—in the char acter of petitioners ,--to the Legislature ; and if the result should be to cause the refusal of some of their most cherished hopes, they should be the last persons themselves to ex press wonder at such an occurrence. We hope, however, ,that the liberality of the I,gislature will interpose on behalf of that large majority of the petitioners who did not join in deprecating the establishment, and that jos. Lice will be done without regard to exaggerated fears or unmerited indignation. Let it never be forgotten, in discussions of this nature, that the power of injury is itself diminished by depriving men of just causes of complaint. The University of Cambridge, or those members of the university who signed the petition, have done themselves great credit as the representatives of a learned body. Now, as the dissenters are not only ad mitted into the learned professions, but into the legis ft laiitetiriself; there is a gro ,s i n c onsis tency , as w ell as a - palpable ;toy tice, in refusine . them the education whiel, sisourteialit them for such a station. It niay appear a yery.tnvsa j. ng to the Duke of Wel ington to rNilite a test,from disgenters, which he has no objection to sub. tale iitutelP but the fact iy r that the cii,leuta who 1~~ ,~i} ~ regards the test in a different light cannot conscientiously subscribe, and hence it has operated as a sentence of exclusion in this case, which he has a just right tocomplain of. It is a remarkable, and, we fear, an ominous circum stance, that no bishop delivered his sentiments on the subject. We hope that, when the prayer of the petition shall come before their Lordships embodied in a bill, the cogent reasoning of Lord Grey and the Lord Chancellor will not be forgotten. If there be any danger threatening either church or state at the present moment, those who helieve that danger to originate in wrong opinions should open the door to knowledge, in consistency with their own views, as well as in respect to the rights and privi leges of others.—Morning Herald. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. HORRIBLE SHIPWRECK.-Yesterday two seamen, of very decant appearance, and extremely respectful in their address to ►he Chief Magistrate, presented his lordship with the following paper, which, they said, would put his lordship - in possession of their dreadful case:— Affidavit—On the 15th day of February, 1834, per sonally appeared before his Britanic Majesty's Consul at Antwerp, in the Town Hospital of said city, Mr. Edward Mathews,second mate, and Christian Temmereek, seaman, both lately belonging to the English brig the Dalusia, of Padstow, commanded by Air. Robert Moon, on her voyage from St. John's, in New Brunswick, towards Padstow, loaded with a cargo of timber, and made oath that they sailed from the port of St. John's on the 19th of Decem ber, 1833, and, after having sustained a very boisterous passage until the 31st of Dec. following, and being that +l+y in longitude 41 deg. 30 min. north, longitude 49 deg. 80 min. west, the ship was by the storm suddenly blown down on her beam ends, at 5 a.m., through which un fortunate accident the master, Robert Moon, and Ames Fry, an apprentice, were drowned. The appearers and the seven other men got on the brig's broadside, where they remained in that situation for about two hours, when the fore-mast, maintop-mast, and bowsprit gave way, which caused the vessel to right,n herself on her bottom, and thereby presented them the 'Means of getting on deck again, where they found every thing washed away, and the ship full of water up to the decks, whereby they found themselves deprived of all provisions, and of fresh water. They remained in that horrid situation for eleven days, during which time they bad nothing but a cat, a rat, and half a dozen candles to feed themselves on, and as there fell a little rain by intervals, which wetting the square main- sail that was still attached to the mainmast, fur nished them the means of sucking the said sail, to calm their thirst. On the 9th day of January, 1834, at sunset, they saw a barque at a great distance for about ten minutes. They immediately hoisced an empty bed for a signal, but in vain, for they instantly lost their sight of her, their signal not being attended to. On the llth following, forced to the last extremity by famine and thirst, they consulted to draw lots to know who should fall the victim to sustain the lives of the remainder. They, however, declined to fulfil this horrid act, and again began to pray the Almighty to relieve them from their cruel sufferings. The same day at nine, p.m., Robert Bray, the cook, being exhausted by fatigue and wane, was carried away by a heavy sea from the deck, without their being able to give him the least assistance, the sea breaking continually the wreck to pieces in all parts. From the 10th of January until the 16th, they bad no food whatever, and their unfortunate shipmates died, the one after the other, in the most horrid fits; Richard Dockton, an apprentice, having died the last on the 15th of January. The ap pearers the next day, being exhausted with fatigue and famine, were forced to open the dead body of the unfor tunate lad, to suck the blood to calm their thirst, and also made use of the heart, liver, &c. to keep up their frightful existence ; but the sea breaking continually over them, filled the corpse with salt water in such a manner that they could no longer subsist by it ; they lost the greater part of their sight through weakness and suffer. ings, and were nearly in a dying state on the 18th follow ing, which day they are assured would have been their last, had not the Almighty God, hearing their prayers, saved them at two p.m. by the American brig William Thatcher, Elisha Wood, commander, which vessel they had not seen approach them, although the weather was clear, and in fact the only fine day they had seen since their departure from St. John's Harbour, but the weak ness of their eyes almost prevented them from seeing their benefactors. They also declare that Captain Elisha Wood, of the above mentioned American brig, as well as the whole slip's company, employed all their utmost endeavours to restore them to life and to recover their strength, and gave them their own clothing to cover them (the appear ers' clothes having been all torn to pieces on the wreck). They also gave them their bedding to lie on. The said appearera further declare that they cannot find words to express their thanks towards Captain Wood and the whole ship's company, through whose exertions and generous behaviour they have been so miraculously saved, and will feel for ever indebted for their lives. In witness whereof, the deponents have signed this in my presence, to which I have also put my band and seal of office. (Signed) EDWARD MATTHEWS. CHRISTIAN TEMMERECK, his ;01 math. Sworn before me, at Antwerp, the 15th day of Fe bruary, 1834. (Signed) DE HOCHEPIED LARPENT. His Britannic Majesty's Consul for the Port of Ant werp, and its dependencies, hereby certifies that the fore going is a faithful copy of the original affidavit deposited in the Consul's office. DE HOCHEPIED LARPENT, Consul. Antwerp, the 18th March, 1834. The seamen stated to the Lord Mayor that they had been sent ever to England by the Consul, in the expecta tion that when they should gain sufficient strength they might be taken into the service of some commander, who would compassionate their awful sufferings. The LORD MAYOR s aid lie was convinced that such an appeal would not be made in vain, especially w, upon all occasions of the kind, the Press was sure to act as a warm benefactor. His Lordship then gave to the poor fellows a supply of money, and desired them to call upon him on Monday for their certificate ; and observed that, in all probability, he should by that time have some proposition to make to them. MARY LEB ONE. REVOLTING CASE OF CRUELTY TO A DOG. - On Thurs day evening Inspector Jones cf the S division waited upon the presiding magistrate, Mr. GEEGORIE, for the purpose of making him acquainted with the following atrocious and unparalleled instance of cruelty to a large dog of the Newfoundland breed : A man named Schofield, who for some time past had carried on business as an oil and colourman, at No. 43, Ernest_street, Regent's-park, having had a misunderstand ing with his landlord, left the premises in question about ten weeks since, having previously carried away his stock in trade. Being desirous of keeping his landlord out of possession, he had recourse to the barbarous expedient of chainiog the poor animal in question (which had been used to draw a truck) to the bannisters of the empty house, where it was kept totally without water or food. After it had been kept in this situation some time the neighbours were greatly annoyed and disturbed night and clay by the piteous howlings of the famishing animal, which induced some of them to look in through a broken win dow at the buck of the house, when they observed the poor creature crouching down in the passage, being fastened to the bannisters by a strong iron chain. The neighbours from time to time supplied the poor animal with pieces of broken victuals, introduced through the aperture, which the dog greedily devoured, together with the paper in which it was wrapped. At length, so much excitement prevailed in the neighbour hood in consequence of the cruelty practised towards the animal, that on Thursday last a formidable mob assembled Naomi the house, who expressed their determination to creak in and release the poor creature from his horrid situation. They accordingly did so, when a most revolting spectacle was presented to their view--they found the dog still alive, but, from starvation, reduced to nothing but bone and skin. On examining the animal more minutely it was discovered that such had been his sufferings from the pang, of hunger, that he had actually torn off and devoured the whole of the right hind leg up to the knee, leaving the bare stump exposed. The poor dog rose to lick the hands of the persons who came towards him, when a part of the mangled paw which he had been lying on was discovered. Mr. GRECORIE-What motive could have induced Schofield to place the dog in the house? Inspector He was induced to do so from an absurd notion that no person dared to t Ike possession of the premises while a living creature remained there. Mr. GREGORIE regretted extremely that the law did not tmpower him to punish such a case of horrid cruelty as it deserved. He, however, had no jurisdiction in the ease. The Inspector then left the office. We understand that in consequence of a pr!rdgr.,ph rtspecting the loss of a little boy from the vici nity of Bell-yard, nu Monday evening, the missing child has been discovered and brought home.

Lord GREY presented a petition last night to the House of Lords, from upwards of sixty members of the University of Cambridge, in favour of the claims of the Dissenters, praying that they might be permitted to take degrees at the University in law, physic, and divinity, without having religious tests exacted from them. His Lordship, in an eloquent and impressive speech, commented on the petition with the respect which its importance deserves ; and dwelt particularly on the fact, that from its temperate and enlightened character, and the number and respectability of its signatures, comprising the names of some of the most eminent professors at the university, it deserved the most marked attention of their lordships. The Duke of WELLINGTON replied to Earl GREY. His Grace made a desperate, headlong plunge into theology on the occasion, and after entering learnedly and at some length, into the subject, having previously declared his utter in capacity to deal with it, attempted to rouse the devotional apprehensions of the Bishops by boldly declaring that " complete Atheists" were to he found in the ranks of the Dissenters. Atheists indeed ! If such frantic fools are any where to be met with, we can tell his Grace that they are much more likely to be found within, than without, the pale of the church ! The very phrase " dissent" implies the opposite of " Atheism." For why did people originally dissent, why do they still continue to dissent, from the church ? Simply froth conscientious motives—simply because they were dissatisfied with its lukewarmness, its corruptions, its intolerance, its shameless system of co urt favouritism, its strenuous upholding of plu ralities. It is not among Dissenters then that Atheism is to be looked for. From the uncom promising nature of his Grace's speech, we sus pect he has been ear-wigged by some sly bishop or other. The word " Atheism" is a favourite phrase in an episcopal mouth. It is the old form of episcopal fulmination —th e invariable anathema launched by all high churchmen against the impertinently inquisitive. The LORD CHANCELLOR'S reply to the Duke of WELLINGTON was characterized by his usual powers of argument and caustic humour. It is a thousand pities that, as one field marshal was present to deliver his opinions upon a church question, another field marshal (the Chancellor of the University of Dublin) was not present also. Two such refulgent theological luminaries could not fail to have dazzled and bewildered all who heard them. The Ordnance Estimates were last night voted after a desultory discussion. The saving for this year is about 80,0001., and the reduction in this department since the present Ministry came into office amounts to 335,00 d/. Some of Mr. HumE's objections to the ordnance estimates are better founded than those he adduced against the estimates for the navy and army. In a time of profound peace, and when there is hardly a possibility for any considerable portion of the army being engaged in war, we can see no use for supplying year after year such an amount of perishable stores. The only solid objec tion is the increase of price which would instantaneously follow a sudden demand, but that would not amount to a tenth part of the expense of keeping up these stores for even five years, and the longer peace continued the ex pense would be proportionably less. With the resources of this country, and the command of machinery, any troops that might be required for an expedition could be equipped in reason able time. Objection has been raised to the vast number of barracks throughout the country, but if we are to keep up an army, barracks are absolutely necessary, not only as regards the comforts and moral habits of the men, but the convenience of the inhabitants on whom soldiers are billetted. The bad habits acquired by the Guards from residing among the lanes and population of Westminster, have contributed in no small degree to the severity of punishment so justly reprobated. Both Houses meet this afternoon for the pur pose of expediting the Mutiny Bill, and the Pensions Duties Bill, in order that they may receive the royal assent on Wednesday, along with other bills that have passed both houses. The Order in Council just issued, for a more equal distribution of prize money among sailors, will give general satisfaction, as far as it goes. Many, probably, will think that it ought to have gone further ; and that the flag officers and captains' shares should have been curtailed a little more for the benefit of the hard working crew. As it is, however, the change is very considerable, and will be hailed by that class as a proof that the Lords of the Admiralty, in the alterations which they have introduced, have not forgotten those on whose exertions and bravery the safety of our fleets, and the independence of the country, so materially depend. According to a statement of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, on a former evening, the share of the common seaman will be trebled, and the shares of all those between him and the captain more or less increased, by reducing the shares of the superior offi cers. Formerly the flag officers and captains received two eighths or one fourth of the whole prize, and the remainder was appropriated in fractional portions to each class collectively. By the new regulation the admiral, or flag officer, will receive one sixteenth of the whole, and the captain one sixth, the remaining sum to be distributed in specific shares to each indi vidual of the several classes. The difference will stand thus—supposing the prize valued at 1,200,0001., the flag-officers and captains would receive, according to the old plan, 300,0001. Now they will receive 262,5001. (namely, the ad miral, 75,0001., and the captains 187,500/.0 leaving a surplus of 37,5001. over and above the former shares, to be distributed among the inferior officers and men. We hope a similar regulation will be adopted in the army. The French papers of Thursday are still oc cupied with the discussion on the Associations law, which gives rise to much invective on both sides of the Chamber ; but the Government is strong enough to reject all the amendments proposed. The news from Spain in these pa pers is very inconclusive. The Carlist " crisis" was said to be near at hand, if it have not already commenced. Meantime the QUEEN'S troops maintain the ascendancy.

Brussels papers, of the 20th inst., inform us that the health of the young PRINCE-ROYAL, who had been suffering from an " alarming catarrhal affection," was more satisfactory. It appears that a portion of the Belgian army has been affected with opthalmia, which, in a great measure, has been caused by the pressure of the neck by the cut of the uniforms. This defect is to be immediately remedied, and the uniform made similar to that of the French. The Bel gian Chambers were going on with the debate t o h n e the a ß t e u dge ; and the whicha iron hs beenagreed rail-road ocet occupied t o t iy the l Chamber of Representatives. German papers, received this day, contain three articles under the heads of Vienna, Ber lin, and Constantinople, which evidently breathe the same spirit, and seem to have been dictated by the same influence. That from Vienna says, that the conduct of Switzerland with respect to the poor Poles excites great anxiety, and that strong measures must be resorted to, unless Switzerland consents to expel the wretched re fugees from its territories. The article from Berlin is directed against the "self-styled Ger manic popular assembly at Paris"—while the Constantinople manifesto is directed against France and England for daring to interfere be tween Russia and the Porte, in regard to the late treaty. The article concludes with the fol lowing insolent remarks :-- . • .6 It was not a memorial, but a note, which the British Am bassador presented to the Porte at the beginning of the month relative to the treaty with Russia. The French Ambassador presented a similar remonstrance, even more moderate than that of the British representative. It is not known what the Porte will do ; it is supposed, however, as heretofore, the Otto man Government will declare its regrets, not being able to comply with the wishes of the two maritime powers, and retract engagements that have been solemnly contracted. This is all that can be said. It then remains to England and France to take it ill, or to allow things that are accomplished to remain so. Prudence will, doubtless, suggest the latter course. It is still singular to see France and England, whose interests are so opposite, solemnly united against the advancement of Russia. We think it will only tend to strengthen the Porte's reliance on the cabinet of St. Petersburgh. In the seraglio there is, before all things, a respect for power, and this will be shown to Russia in proportion to the apprehension she inspires. The old traditions relative to the light hair that is one day to put an end to thp Ottoman Empire have lost their influence. They are forgotten, or no longer applied to Russia, who was a friend in need. The same prejudice exists,in Europe against red hair. An old Turkish proverb says " trust not the red." Rein forcements of the British station at Malta are spoken of. We heard of such even before, but they lead to no result. No power has cause to dread a war so much as England ; any war would be European, and would soon be changed from a war of interests into one of principles. . - VIENNA, MARCH 11.—Five per Cent. Mettalliques 97 11.16 ; ditto Four per Cent. ditto, 88 % ; Bank Actions, 1250.-- 4111gemeine Zeitung, March 16. SOCIETY OF BRITISH ARTISTS. We were this morning favoured with a private view of this exhibition, and give the following particulars:— 8. RUINS OF CARTllAGE—Linton.—This picture is one of Linton's happiest efforts; it might be mistaken for one of Turner's sunshine effects. The same fault may be also ob served as in Turner, the use of too much crome yellow. The shield and spear of Caius Marcus are preposterously large. 18. COAST OF CALAlS—Pyne.—This, although a small picture, is highly illustrative of how little colour is necessary, to produce the effect desired; the canvas is barely covered yet every wish is obtained, and thus far proves Sir Joshua's words in his lectures, that elaborate painting is " industrious idleness." 42. TIIE FOREST Poor.—Davis.—The most exquisite piece of painting of heath, and a picture altogether worthy of the Bri. tish school—the cattle well grouped and painted. 48. PORTRAIT OF MRS. MAINWARING—Mrs. Carpenter.— the best portrait in the exhibition, quite new in its style, and the satin equal to any of the Dutch masters. 59. LACE-MAKER—inskipp.—The face of the girl is extremely beautiful, and the whole of the figure clearly painted. We wish he would take more pains with his figures in the distance —it may be well not to make them important, but at the same time to give them features. 162. MOORISH TOWER AT SEVlLLE.—Roberts.—Nothing can be more picturesque than Moorish architecture for a painter like Roberts; and although it is mostly built of red brick, yet its surfaces are so much ornamented, that the richest contrasts of light and shade are produced in this picture. It has also some of the good Roman style of buildings, with many columns. All is exceedingly well managed. We do not think it equal to his " Interior of a Church," No. 315, a picture possessing the most beautiful chiaro oscuro, putting us in mind of Rembrandt. 131. HACKNEY COACH—Holmes. —This puts us in mind of the numerous insults we receive from the drivers of such vehicles. The low character of the coachman is admirably pourtrayed, and contrasted with the delicate female who is leaning upon the arm of her husband, who is in the act of reprimanding his insolence. The black servant, who is taking the number, gives great point to the picture. 196. HAIDEE AROUSED FROM TIER TRANCE BY THE SOUND OF MUSlC—Hurlstone.—This portrait-painter, who is just rising into eminence, has stepped out of the trammels of por traiture, and ventured upon history. The effort has been truly successful. The wild character of Haidee, who is evidently just aroused by the harper whom her father has just introduced, is finely painted. The colouring, generally, is not inferior to many of the Venetian masters of the time of Tintoretto. 204. TuE WHITE MOUSE—R. Edmonston.—Every lover of art should look at this picture. 222. A CALM—Wilson.—Although we have the breadth and general good colouring of this master, he has been careless —he may feel he has great power in his pencil but he should remember that there are finished jugdes that look sometimes at his work. 2'27. FRUlT—Lance.—Equal to his best performance, his works are too well known to require any further remark. 314. PORTRAIT OF DR. GRAVES—Jerome Goodrich—Pro fessor of Homoeopathy.—The sooner he is buried the better, not only for the sake of the painter, until he can handle the brush better, but also on account of the absurdity of thesystem of Homoeopathy. 402. SOUTH PIER AND FORT ROUGE, CALAlS—Pyre.—This is a beautiful picture, and painted equal to any of his works. S. Davis has some good pictures of interiors; they want a little more detail ; a lesson from Roberts would be serviceable, although we would not wish bins to lose his powerful style. There are some good minatures by Mrs. J. Robertson, Mr. Callen, Miss Kendrick, and Mr. Ward. The sculpture, as a whole, is inferior; but there are one or two specimens by Seivier which are of a very superior order. Among them is a monument erected to the memory of the late Mrs. Palmer, of Ham Common. It represents the spirit on its ascent to Heaven, carried thither by an angel, while the mortal relics repose below, and are seen covered with a light drapery, through which the whole figure is clearly discernible. This is a great, and, we may add, a novel triumph in art, to give to marble the effect of a clear transparency. There is also a bust, by the same artist, of the present Lord Chan cellor, which as a likeness is admirable, and as a work of art, is finished with much skill and taste. Last night's Gazette contains three import ant proclamations. The two first approving a memorial from the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, for arranging under a more uni. form system, and equalizing the distribution of the net proceeds of prizes captured by ships of war ; the second supplying the scale of the dis tribution. The flag-officers, by this arrange ment, are to have one-sixteenth part of the whole net proceeds—Commanders on board to have one-sixth part of the remainder; and the rest of the crew to be arranged in ten classes, whereof the first or senior Lieutenants is to have fifty-five shares; the tenth, or boys of the second class, half a share each. Perfect lists of the crews assisting in a capture are to be sent to the Admiralty by the Captain or Commander. The third proclamation in last night's Gazette announces that adequate provision has been made for carrying into entire effect the act of last session for the abolition of slavery, and declares, that from the first of August next it shall be utterly abolished, and proclaimed un lawful throughout the British colonies and plantations. DINNER TO LORD WESTERN.—The long anticipated dinner to the Right Hon. Lord Western, for the purpose of presenting to his lordship the splendid tribute which we have belore described, took place at the Shire Hall, this day. The noble lord reached this town a b o ut half-past three, and on his entering the Shire Hall, was received with the hearty cheers of those who were anxiously awaiting his arrival. Every seat in the ball room was occupied, and a large number dined in the Grand Jury Room. It is calculated that about 450 per sons sat down to dinner. Sir Francis Vincent presided on the occasion, and Mr. Disney having introduced the Tribute, which, during the dinner, was elevated in the centre of the room, the hon. chairman, in a concise and neat speech, presented it to his lordship. The noble lord, with surprising energy, considering his recent in disposition, replied at considerable length, and e xpressed in forcible lancuage how proud he felt at the hi gh honour conferred upon him.—Chelmsford Chronicle, Friday. DINNER TO LORD MELVILLE, AT DAL KEITH.-A public dinner was given to the Right Hon. Viscount Melville, on Friday last, by his friends and neigh bouts, in token of their respect and esteem for his conduct in public and private life. Sir Francis Walker Drummond of Hawthornden, Bart., was in the chair, supported on his right by Lord the Marquis of Lothian, the Earl of Morton, the Hon. Captain Dundas, &c., and on his left by the Duke of Buccleuch, Earl Taloot, Sir Geor e Clerk, &c. ; Sir John Hope was croupier. The company consisted of about one hundred and eighty noblemen and gentlemen. THE NEW NAUTICAL AND AFRICAN NOVEL " MAKANNA.”—This romance introduces us into a region new to fiction; and the author, by his talent of delineation, has made that region his own. He is equally at home grappling with the ocean's storm, hunting the wild beasts of the wilderness, or painting with Flemish minuteness the vooc_hamer of a Dutch boor at the Cape. Tire peculiarities of African scenery and animals are most vividly depicted. One of the most interesting and graphic romances that it has been our lot to read for many a year. —The Athenceum. Sir F. Roe, of Bow-street, has been left a legacy, it is reported of 100,0001., by his uncle, the late Alexander Adair, Esq. Several cases of cholera have occurred in this city within the last fortnight. A medical friend informs us that he saw three cases of malignant cholera yesterday (Monday) in one street.—Dublin Evening Post. The returns of the actual exports of the pre cious metals in the week ending Thursday last show that 195,554 ounces of silver coin have been shipped to Calais ; 567,850 ounces to New York; and 566 ounces to India. Within these last two days entries have been made at the Custom House for further shipments to New York of 360,000 ounces. _ The Drury-lane Easter piece of Folly, as it is termed in the bills, is to be called Anster Fair, or The Wizard's Wand. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY•) EX PARTE KEYS IN TILE SIATTER:OE TERRY, • BANKRUPT. The LORD CHANCELLOR sat for the purpose of hearing Mat ters in Bankruptcy. The LORD CHANCELLOR, Mr. KNIGHT, Mr. BACON, and Mr. BETHEL, appeared for the appellant. Mr. SWANSON and Mr. MONTAGUE were for the respondentt:i and took a preliminary objection to the petition being ea, here at all. The Act of Parliament directed that the 1,0"4 deuce; and that only upon a special case, and in no Chancellor should have jurisdiction only to hear aPPe als °.° matters of law, equity, or the admission or rejection of ev; whatever except the Lord Chancellor should otherwise direct. d The question to be submitted here was a question a fact, I it was brought forward by a petition, and not upon a sPe c ' a case. The learned counsel contended, that upon those two grounds the present proceeding was irregular. The LORD CHANCELLOR, without hearing counsel against the preliminary objection, was of opinion that it was not Ws; tainable, because it appeared, by a reference to the SecretarY notes, that when the court gave leave to have this matter brought here by petition, the special circumstances were stated; and if they had not, the respondents had had notice of this so long ago as November last, and if they had wished to have objected to the present course, they ought to have come here upon a notice long since, to have had the ex pane order set aside, whereby the present petition was appointed for to-day. The SOLICITOR.GENERAL then stated he appeared to pray the Court to set aside an order made by the Court of Review, th e un several grounds, none of which could his clients have had t The first benefit of; had they come here upon a special case. ground was, that the Court of Review had overturned an order of the Vice-Chancellor, and also of this Court; the second, that it had superseded a commission without any ap plication to it for that purpose ; and the third, that it l uld superseded a commission upon the ground of concert, contrary to the express provisions of the Act of Parliament other wa HAMBURG PAPERS. KIEL, MARCH 16.—At a time when all Germany i s uniting in commercial arrangements, which, if they have not a directly hostile tendency against England, cannot possibly be agreeable to that country, it might, perhaps, be practicable for Denmar k to effect a most important change in all its mercantile relation & The moment is perhaps arrived to conclude a commercial treaty with England, founded on the reciprocal entire exemption from all import duties of the produce and manufactures of both countries, by which Denmark will obtain a market for its agricultural produce, which will cause our agriculture to flourish in a manner hitherto unknown. The English corn bill, indeed, stands in the way of such a convention, bu t the ministry would, perhaps, not be sorry just now to pro pose a change for Denmark, in return for such an Important equivalent as the free importation of all British manufactures, and the more so, as the corn exported from Denmark would be but a drop in the ocean in proportion to the population of Eng land. The consequence of such an arrangement would be an. swered. Denmark, naturally an agricultural country, would, of all the European states, have alone the English market as a sure vent for its superfluity, and this alone would render it veil lucrative. How easy would it be, with such a source of The In come, to pay off the debts which so generally opp ress us. 21:_e_ do not dissemble the great difficulties of such a project. augmentation of the direct taxes to cover the loss of the duties would hardly be avoidable; and in London, though first demand 'nor not really averse to the plan, they might at nertia- than Denmark could grant. Able and persev ering ,,„d •f the tions have, however, accomplished greater things , worth object should not be attained for some years, it is surely aiming at. But when no more difficulties remain on the p l / 4 "r! . , of England, may Denmark not be bound by conventions vat" other powers, which will not fail to be proposed. EXCHANGES .ON LONDON.
