The KING has invited the Spanish and Por tuguese Ministers to Windsor Castle. They go to-morrow, and will stay some days. His MAJESTY thus affords proof of his hearty ap proval of the quadruple alliance, which is now, we trust, firmly established, and will be long maintained. If Russia, Austria, and Prussia endeavour covertly to strengthen their connec tion, or to disturb or weaken that of the friends of representative governments, it is satisfactory to find the reforming KING of the free people of England employing the most prompt and effectual means in his power of showing to his people and to Europe his determination to countenance and strengthen that alliance, which forms the best security, not alone for the tranquillity and im provement of the separate states of which it is composed, but of Europe and the world. We trust and believe that Spain and Portugal will soon be rid of the disturbers of their peace, and if without the anned interference of England and France, so much the better ; but the Usurpers in both countries may be assured, that if they persevere in the unprincipled and un patriotic course they have hitherto taken, and consequently the aid of England and France should be called for, neither of their sovereigns will allow their allies to be insulted, or their country to be laid waste by marauders. The Austrians are excessively uneasy at 1 1 the presence of the Poles in Switzerland, and are moving heaven and earth to get rid of them. " A guilty conscience needs no accuser." The Poles have been deeply wronged, and those who have joined with their cruel op pressors in depriving them of peace, freedom, and security in their own land, are apprehensive of the day of retribution. The Poles are brave, accustomed to arms, and, perhaps imprudently, ready to join with or lead the disaffected in all countries. If they would unite and form a colony in the New World, as the persecuted of this country did in the days of the Stuarts, those who have injured them might, at no dis tant period, find reason to regret their loss. The Repealers have produced but one argu ment yet for the repeal of the union, and that is to be found in the length and dullness of their own speeches. The debate is again adjourned, but will, we trust, be closed to-morrow morning. There have been some fresh disturbances in Naples, arising out of a dispute between a gees d'arme and a Sicilian soldier. The authorities interfered. Above twenty persons were wounded on both sides, and three killed. We are happy to perceive by the report from the Court of Chancery this day that Ministers have decided on throwing open the Court of -Common Pleas to the bar generally. The wonder is that so obvious an improvement should him; been so long delayed. By this measure the public will derive great advantage from a mote speedy access to justice ; for the pressure of business in the King's Bench will now be considerably relieved, and the griev ous, expensive accumulation of remanets, at the end of every term, be entirely swept away. Really Ministers deserve well of the country from their anxiety to effect every practical im proveme-lii In the administration of the laws, that, after all, is the poor man's best pro tection. The Allgemeine Zeitung states, that the composition of the new French Ministry is much approved at Vienna, and the funds rose in consequence of the news that no change would take place in the policy of the French courts having arrived by express from Frankfort. - - VIENNA, APRIL 14. —Metalliques, Five per Cents., 97i ; Ditto, Four per Cents., 88% ; Bank Shares, I,242.—All gemeine Zeitung, April 19.

They now lay informations against the printer and publisher, not, as formerly, against those half starved and half-clad individuals whom these men made their tools, and who were generally in such a state of destitution as to prefer impri sonment and martyrdom to freedom and starva tion. It was evident to all but the Board, that no prosecution of such men, however rigid or often repeated, couldput a stop to the offence ; be cause, while poverty exists, and such temptations are held out, persons will alwaysbe found ready to join in a breach of the law. It would be better if the stamp duty on newspapers were abolished altogether, but while it remains it is the boun den duty of the Government to enforce it, and protect the fair trader against the smuggler and public robber. It is indeed monstrous that while some daily journals are forced to pay the Government between 2001. and 3001. a day for stamps and advertisements, publications, in all respects the same, should have been so long allowed to issue from the press with impunity. If the law is bad, repeal it, but while it exists, give not one class advantage over another, to the injury not only of individuals, but the diminution of the public revenue. The stamp duty might be reduced one-half, and the amount of the revenue doubled, if all periodical publications were rated in fair proportions. Exemptions are claimed for Reviews, Magazines, and Literary Ga zettes, all of which are read exclusively by the rich, and those that can well afford to pay, while newspapers, read as much by the poor as the rich, are subjected to a tax equal to the price of the paper, the cost of printing, and the profit to both pro prietors and newsmen. It is, in fact, a pre- mium in favour of wealth. The higher and middling classes derive as much amusement I from the reviews of works of art, from novels, and sporting magazines, as the poor derive from the reports from police offices, coroners' in quests, or any news of the day ; and it is, there fore, not only absurd, but partial and unjust, to tax one class of publications and exempt the other. It never can operate as a check on agitation or sedition. In times of excitement, nay, at all times, the law is evaded, and if the people labour, under oppression, and conse quently are hostile to the government, there never will be any lack even of stamped pub lications to excite them to mutiny. If the stamp duty were abolished, and a moderate ad dition made to the duty on paper, the collection of the tax would not only be more certain and impartial, but the revenue would be increased, and all classes placed in this respect on an equal footing. Ministers must see, from the ano malous state of the law, and the unceasing and successful attempts to evade it, that some cor rective measures are absolutely necessary.

We are again without arrivals this morning, with the exception of the express from Paris, which is not of any interest.

The house' was exceedingly crowded, and displayed as strong feelings of affectionate loyalty as has at any pre ceding conjuncture been manifested during the present reign. About the usual time the King, in his Admiral's uniform, entered the state box, and was received with a general enthusiastic cheering and waving of hats and handkerchiefs from every portion of the audience—which was repeated upon the appearance of her Majesty. The selection of the play, Sheridan's School for Scandal, did great credit to the taste of the Royal party, or the discre tion of those who had the selection of the evening's enter tainment. The comedy was well performed, and, in these degenerate times, was well calculated to revive the declin ing popularity of our better drama. The very amusing farce of Simpson and Co. followed it, and we have seldom observed a person more heartily amused by it than was his Majesty, more especially by Farren's admirably ludicrous personation of the much-wronged Simpson. The na tional anthem was sung at the commencement and con clusion of the night's performances ; and " Rule Bri tannia," was also given between the play and farce. We must say we never heard either one or the other to less advantage. The " Rule Britannia" was almost ridiculous. Why will not the vocalists at the national theatres make themselves familiar with the words of this British Pwon? Their Majesties left the theatre amid similar demonstra tions of fervent loyalty as welcomed them on their arrival. A wager is laid of ten sovereigns between two gardeners in the neighbourhood of Chelsea, one of them undertaking to raise a salad while a shoulder of mutton is roasting, which is to be done in an hour and three quarters. A VISION OF REPEAL. " Repeal the Union, and a convulsion must follow next. Let thAt go, and a fierce democratic republic would follow; if not, a contest must begin, and that which commenced in folly would end in crime."— Vide Spring Rice's Speech. As I sate last night with drowsy eye In the House of Commons gallery, And heard O'C---r discuss Repeal In a red-hot spirit of frantic zeal, I dropped asleep, o'ercome by the intense Narcotic power of his eloquence, And " dreamed a dream" of sore affright, Such as from mingled gloom and spite, Your baffled Tory, (distressing case) Is apt to dream when out of place. I dreamed Repeal had gained the day And Erin free from her Sister's sway, Had got at length, the lucky elf, A bran-new Parliament all to herself ; And I saw her bran-new Speaker go To open his raree Parliament show, 'Mid such vast crowds as never were seen Wedged together in College-green. Foremost amid the patriot van Appeared the huge Dictator Dan, Blushing deeper than any carrot, As some one near him whispered "Barrett 9- 1 ' On he stalked 'mid shouts of laughter, While little Dick S-11 frisked lightly after, And cast full many a shrewd sheep's eye, As he passed, at the Court of Chancery. Oh, never was seen so rare a sight ! All was uproar and wild delight ; Cannon roared, and bonfires blazed, For the Liberty boys were fairly crazed, And I heard them all in chorus sing— " No church—no law—no Queen—no King— " No tithes—no taxes—no anything— " We'll all be gentlemen, wealthy and wise !" And so they were, for gentility lies In doing of nothing now-a-day— And the devil a thing to do had they, But dance and drink, and sing, each man, " Huzza ! for our own Dictator Dan !" A sudden change came o'er my dream, And sadder and sterner grew its theme, For the shouts of joy were everywhere Changed to the groans of wild despair ; And I saw vast crowds, with phrenzied mien, Rush fiercely on to College-green, Some arm'd with pikes and bludgeons—meant (No doubt with the very best intent) As a hint to their own dear Parliament— And some with short sticks, trimm'd and mended, As Dan had specially recommended ; While all roar'd out—" Repale's a hoax, Meant only to gull poor gentlefolks ; So down with all Parsons—Lords--M.P.s, We'll govern without them, just as we please !" And where, you will ask me, all this while, Were the Catos of the Emerald isle ? Where was the Head and where the Tail, Whose hullabaloo had won Repale ? Alas, the patriots all were gone, Hanged or exiled every one ; Crushed 'neath the democratic ban— E'en Erin's own Dictator Dan (Albeit, in terms that might soften rocks, he Had begged and prayed to be hanged by proxy) Dangled aloft from a gibbet high, With little Dick S—ll in company, While close behind them, alack ! alack ! F—s O'C—r and honest Jack, Swung from a lamp-post, back to back. Shocked at a sight so sad—so drear, I woke with a sort of a bray in my ear— 'Twas F— O'C—r crying, " Hear, hear." Vide " Pilgrim's Progress." R. Barrett is O'Connell's proxy in gaol " Mr. Littleton then proceeded to read the following extract from one of Mr. O'Connell's speeches : How could any Englishmen know their wants, or the state of their internal affairs? Why, if their Parliament were sitting In Dublin, they (the people) could get short sticks some fine morning, arid go a , :d tell their Parliament to vote honestly.' This, then, was the practical athantage of having a distinct legislature. The people were to use short sticks."— Vide Mr. Littleton's Speech last night. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

As the Freemasons constitute a social, close knit corporation, and this periodical is for the most part dedicated to their interest, giving full reports of the proceedings of their various lodges, &c., from time to time, we have little doubt that it will rapidly get into circulation among them. Among the contents is a singular and interesting tale entitled the " Mason," which the author assures us is founded on a fact communicated at Cambridge during the autumn of the last year, by a member of the masonic fraternity, of distinguished character and literary reputation. This tale is well worth a perusal, and we regret that we have not space to do it justice by making an extract or two from it. There are many pleasing snatches of verse in this number ; the best of which is a fragment of a poem on the old subject of the fate of genius, which, however, contains not a few novel thoughts. The magazine is neatly got up ; and, considering the body for whose amusement it caters, is by no means dear in point of price. ---- ----- COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) HIS MAJESTY'S WARRANT OF ABOLITION OF THE CLOSE BOROUGH SYSTEM OF THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. The LORD CHANCELLOR, upon taking his seat this morning, said " His Majesty has been graciously pleased to commit to my hands his warrant, under the sign manual, which lam directed to read aloud." His lordship then handed the warrant to the Registrar, directing him to read it aloud for him, which the Registrar did, and of which the following is a verbatim copy WILLIAM R. c. Whereas it hath been represented to us that it would tend to the general despatch of business now pending in our several courts of common law at Westminster, if the right of counsel to practice, plead, and be heard, extend equally to all the said courts; but such object cannot be effected so long as theSerjeants-at-Law have the exclusiveprivilege ofpractising, pleading, and audience, during term time, in our Court of Common Pleas at Westmin ster. We do therefore hereby order and direct that the right of practising, pleading, and audience in our said Court of Com mon Pleas, during term time, shall upon and from.the first day of Trinity Term now next ensuing cease to be exercised exclusively by the Sergeants-at-Law, and that upon and from that day our Couns..l learned in the law, and all other Barristers learned in ihe law, shall and may, according to tneir respective rank and seniority, have and exercise equal right and privilege of practisi ng, pleading, and audience in the said Court of Common Pleas at West minster with the Sergeants-at-Law. And we do hereby will and signify to Sir Nicholas Conyngham Tindal, Knight, our Chief- Justice, and his companions, Justices of our said Court of Com mon Pleas, this our Royal will and pleasure, requiring them to make proper rules and orders of the said Court, and to do what ever may be necessary to carry this ourpurpose into effect. And whereas we are graciously pleased, as a mark of our Royal favour, to confer upon the Sergeants-at-Law hereinafter named; being sergeants at this present time in active practice in our &lid Cont t of Common Pleas, some permanent rank and place in all our courts ofl.w and equity. We do further order and direct that Vitrivius Lawes, Thomas D'oyley, Thomas Peake, Wm. St. Julien Arabin, John Adams, Thomas Andrews, Henry Storks, Ebenezer Ludlow, John Semen, Henry John Stephen, Charles Carpenter Bompus, Edward Goulburn, George Heath, John Taylor Coleridge, and Thomas Moore Talford, Sergeants-at- Law, shall from henceforth, according to their respective seniority amongst themselves, have rank, place, and audience in all our courts of law and equity next after John Balguy, Esq., one of our council learned in the law. And we do hereby will and require you, not only to cause this our direction to be ob served in our Court of Chancery, but also to signify to the Judges of our several other courts at Westminster, that it is our express pleasure that the same course be observed in all our said courts. _ . " Given at our Court of St. James's, this twenty-fourth day of April, in the fourth year of our reign. To the Right Hon. Henry Lord Brougham and Faux, our Chancellor of Great Britain." The LORD CHANCELLOR then directed that the war rant should be filed in the registrar's office. His LORDSHIP added—the Court of Common Pleas is now open to all barristers, as the bar will perceive. The bar will observe, also, that the rank given to the present sergeants is confined to the present sergeants— and extends to no future sergeant, his Majesty having been graciously pleased, in consideration of the great expense to which they have been put, in the abolition of their monopoly of the practice in the Court of Common Pleas, to secure to them their present rank. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) His Majesty's warrant, directing that the Court of Common Pleas should be thrown open to the bar generally, and giving the sergeants-at-law, who now had the exclu sive right of pleading in the Common Pleas, the privileges of King's counsel in the common law and equity courts, was this day read, by order of the court. The now ser geants-at-law are to have precedence next after the now junior King's counsel in all the court s . The Court were occupied all the morning in hearing arguments on special cases, none of which possessed the slghtest public interest. COURT CIRCULAR.
