LANDING of DON CARLOS in BAYONNE, his ENTRANCE into_SPAIN, and ARRIVAL at ELISONDO. (From the Morning Herald Correspondent). We have just received the Paris Morning Papers of Monday, and the Evening Papers dated yesterday, to gether with letters from our Correspondents in Bayonne and Paris. Our Bayonne Correspondent . sends us, under date 4ayonue, July 10, the following important communi cation " I am able to assure you that Don Carlos arrived here Yesterday at ten o'clock, and shortly afterwards departed for Spain; that he stopped at the Convent of Urdach, tile monks of which were however absent ; that he offered tIP his prayers to the Almighty, and thence continued his route for Elisondo (the seat of the Junta of Navarre), Where he arrived in the course of eleven hours, having shade the journey on horseback, without stopping for a luoment • s • "In order to disguise himself, he had dyed his hair. ici-morrow, in all probability, I shall be able to forward Yatt some interesting details." Beyond this we have no news from Spain. The Gazette d'Augsburg publishes in capital letters an Article f rom T re b ezon d , dated 9th may, stating the con clusion of a commercial treaty between Great Britain and Persia, on terms similar to that lately agreed on between the latter Power and Russia The arrival of the British ", feet at Vourla, stated in letters from Constantinople, dated 1 7th ult., is represented as having caused some bustle, if aot uneasiness, in the Turkish capital ; but more recent accounts (see our Paris letter) do not confirm this state went. The Sultan ' was about to undertake a journey through his European provinces. A letter from Ancona, !of the 2d instant, ,states that Colocotroni and Koleopulo tact been condemned to death, - but that - the sentence had been commuted h' l the King for one of 20 years' imprison taent. A total change of Ministry had occurred in Greece. The popular assemblies of Switzerland were actively en gaged in protesting against the decision of the Vorort of the ! 2 4th ult.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 16, 1834, plaintiff's house extends 12 inches over the proposed line of road, and 18 inches more were required for the erection of a wall. The committee endeavoured "to turn this corner," but they found that the lopping off of the corner of Miss How ard's house was absolutely necessary to the completion of the plan. The committee proposed to give Miss Howard 10 feet of ground for the right, of her premises for the accommoda tion of the two feet and a half which they required her to yield, but they could not agree. The parties, however, on coming into court, compromised the matter. The sum agreed to be accepted was not stated. A MANIFESTATION.—The congregation at Barn staple Church were greatly alarmed last Sunday morning, shortly before the conclusion of the service. The Rev. Vicar (Mr. Luxmore) was describing the unworthiness of mankind, with all their piety and good works, to enter the kingdom of Heaven, when a man suddenly rose, extended his arms, and exclaimed, with an audible voice, "Itis no such thing—l am a true Briton, a true Israelite, and a true disciple of the Mes siah ;" adding, with a clenched fist, "and you know it, Mr. Luxmore." This very singular and uncommon occurrence gave a momentary check to the service, and excited so much consternation that there was an almost simultaneous move ment for leaving the church, and several ladies fainted. The sexton, however, interfered, and the individual walked quietly out, without attempting any further interruption. His name is Tyte, a native of the town, but late of Portsmouth, and he arrived there last Saturday evening, on a visit to his friends, who state that he is superannuated from his Majesty's service in consequence of insanity, with which he has been some time afflicted. He was induced to go to Barnstaple Church, having, as he said, been christened there. INFLUENCE OF COLOUR ON THE ABSORPTION OF ODOURS.—My attention was first directed to the subject of odours as connected with colour during my attendance at the anatomical room in 1830-31. During the earlier part of that winter I generally wore a light olive coloured dress ; but hap pening one day to attend in black clothes, they acquired an almost intolerable smell. This fact led me to begin a series of experiments. The result was, as I had conjectured, that the colour of bodies, independently of the nature of their sub stance, modifies the capability of surfaces for imbibing and giving out odours. I enclosed black and white wool, ten. grains of each, in a vessel with a small piece of camphor, and kept it secluded from the light. When examined, six hours afterwards, it was at once evident to the sense of smell that the black wool had attracted more of the odorous particle than the white, though neither had gained any appreciable weight. I also took equal quantities of black and white wool, and put them in a small drawer with a piece of asafoetida ; ill twenty four hours the black had attracted a strong odour of the gum, while in the white the smell was scarcely perceptible. Similar experiments were made with cotton of six different colours— black, blue, green, red, yellow, and white. The black, as before, was found to have much the strongest smell, the blue next, then the red, and so on down to the white, which had scarcely any.-11r. Stark, in Repertory of Patents. ILLUSTRATIONS OF SOCIAL DEPRAVITY.-A governess is required to know everything. It is curious, while female intellect is held very low, that yet when a family wants a preceptress, nothing less is expected than the powers of- an admirable Crichton or an Edmund Stone. What is the consequence? A poor girl foresees that she must earn her bread by teaching. She cannot acquire above two, or at most three accomplishments well ; but she must seem to possess what the vulgar and unintellectual market requires. The consequence is, that the capabilities which might turn to a fine account, are more than half lost, by endeavouring to attain what the soul sickens at. But the unfortunate girl must have a home ; bread to eat, and clothes wherewithal to be covered. Again, what is the consequence ? She goes forth an impos tor ! She knows that she is in reality good at nothing, because too much has been aimed at. She goes out for the purpose of instructing youth, (and we should imagine morality the first and principal lesson,) a practical liar. Admirable instruc tress ! ! Can we wonder that we have a race of such ad mirable pupils.? With all this before her eyes, Fanny could not offer herself as a governess, even had she possessed the indispensable advantage, of what may very properly be termed Bolsterers ; viz. those who pass their words for people, of whom they know precisely nothing. For fear of any mis take on this important point, we allude to REPERENCES."- John Reid, Glasgow. ACCIDENT AT GRAVESENDe—A circumstance occurred on Sunday evening at Gravesend, which had nearly been attended with very serious consequences. Persons on paying two-pence each are permitted to walk on the tem porary pier, which is so very narrow as not to allow more than four persons to walk abreast. On Sunday evening last, while a great number of men, women, and children were on the a signal was made that a steam-boat was ready to sail for London, in consequence of which a great number of per sons at Gravesend rushed on the pier to go aboard the vessel, when a frightful scene of confusion ensued. The parties who were amusing themselves on the pier, endeavouring to leave, came in contact with the others, and several individuals during the confusion were precipitated into the water and mud ; others were thrown down and injured ; women had their garments torn to pieces, and a child, which had been separated from its father, was missing, and was supposed to be, lost. The unhappy parent, in agpny and despair, was bewailing the loss of his child, when fortunately, after the confusion had ceased, a waterman delivered it to its father, having plucked the child, nearly smothered, from the mud. The confusion was increased by the constables endeavouring to clear the pier, and by a numerous gang of pickpockets from London, who chiefly made the rush, and robbed several persons in the crowd. One steam-boat alone landed 1,100 persons at Gravesend on Sunday. The new pier will be opened with due ceremony on Friday next. DREADFUL AND DETERMINED SUICIDE.- Yesterday morning, about half-past three o'clock, as John Mason, police constable No. 121 of the D division, was on duty in Upper Charlotte -street, Fitzroy-square, he observed a female in her nightdress make her appearance at the third floor window of the house of Mr. Thorpe, No. 10, chair matufacturer, and opening it, commenced getting into the window-sill. Suspecting that she was about to throw herself into the street he called to her, begging of her to desist ; but by this time she was standing upright on the sill, outside the window, and waving her hand for him to stand out of the way she bent herself forward, and plunged headlong into the street from a height of between fifty and sixty feet. She fell on her head on the curb-stone of the foot pavement, narrowly escaping being impaled on the spik es o f the. area raili ng . O n t h e policeman running up to her assistance a most dreadful spec tacle presented itself: the unfortunate woman was writhing in the agonies of death, covered with blood, and the right side of the skull smashed in so shocking a manner that a person's doubled fist could be introduced into the brain. The police " stretcher" from the Albany-street station-house was pro cured with as little delay as possible, and the poor creature was placed on it to be conveyed to Middlesex Hospital, but expired before it had proceeded many yards. It appears that the name of the deceased is Setter, a widow, in respectable circumstances, who lodged at Mr. Thorpe's house ; latte r ly some domestic afflictions preyed heavily upon her mind, and she became in a very low and desponding way ; it is supposed that in a paroxysm of grief she had got out of bed and com mitted the fatal act. The deceased was forty-three years of age. ANECDOTE OF CuRRAN.---A farmer attending at a fair with one hundred pounds in his pocket, took the pre caution of depositing it in the hands of the landlord of the public-house at which he stopped. Having occasion for it shortly afterwards, he resorted to mine host for the bailment ; but the landlord, too deep for the countryman, wondered what hundred pounds was meant, and was quite sure no such sum had been lodged in his hands by the astonished rustic. After ineffectual appeals to the recollection, and finally to the honour, of Bardolph, the farmer applied to Curran for advice. " Have patience, my friend," said the Counsel, " speak to the landlord civilly, and tell him you are convinced you must have left your money with some other person. Take a friend with you, and lodge with him another hundred pounds, in the presence of your friend, and then come to me." We must imagine, and not commit to paper, the vociferations of the honest dupe, at such advice - however, moved by the rhetoric or authority of the wo r thy counsel, he followed it, and returned to his legal friend. " And now, sir, I don't see as I'm to be better off for this, if I get my second hundred again ; but how is that to be done ?" "Go and ask him for it when he is alone," said the counsel. " Aye, sir, but asking won't do, I'ze afraid, without my witness, at any rate." " Never mind ; take my advice," said the counsel ; " do as I bid you, and return to me." The farmer soon returned with his hun dred pounds, glad, at any rate, to find that safe again in his possession. " Now, sir, I suppose I must be content; but I don't see as I'm much better off." Well, then," said the counsel, " now take your friend with you, and ask the landlord for the hundred pounds your friend saw you leave with him." We need not add, that the wily landlord found that he had been taken off his guard, while our honest friend returned to thank his counsel exultingly with both hundreds in his pocket. OXFORD STUDENTS.—The crying evil of Oxford is repletion. Your ancestors may have drunk more, and I be lieve they did, but I defy them to have eaten more than their descendants. In speaking, indeed, of the generality of the undergraduates, it is not too much to say that one-third part of their time is spent in gormandizing, one-third in violent exercise to throw off the weight which oppresses them, and the remainder in deep drowsy slumber. The late breakfast, which equals in variety and quantity of food the morning meal of the voracious Yankee, is followed close by the huge luncheon. A ride is then absolutely necessary to enable the literary youth to do justice tol the college dinner. This meal is succeeded by a wine party, then comes coffee, and then, though Ilast not least, the supper, or at all events a friendly compotation, before each student (studens a non ttu dendo) retires for the poor remnant of the night to his own cell. A detailed account of the entertainments given by these young gentlemen would not be credited on the Continent, and your English fathers do not stand in need of information. The items in their sons' unpaid bills will let them into the secret. Your Dons are indeed strange unaccountable crea tures. Fondly attached to the present order of things, they yet suffer the rising aristocracy of England to plunge into more than Sybarite luxury, at a time when more than usual vigour is required by those who are to take an active part in public life. But not only is the intellect clouded, the morals are also corrupted by this wide-spread gluttony. Were not your distinguished countryman Abernethy already in his grave, I should propose to have him appointed inspecting physician to the University. Graduates and under-graduates alike should be committed to his charge ; and after reviewing the collegiate bands, from the sleek dean with his portly semicir cular protuberance, to the tall gawky freshman of eighteen, I doubt not the man of science would have given in his verdict with characteristic brevity--" Repletion—nothing but reple tion."—Letter to a Noble Lord by a Foreigner. THE INDIGO TRADE. Yesterday the East India Company's periodical sale of in digos commenced at the India House, and a more than ordi nary interest was attached to the result in consequence of the very large quantity of indigos declared for sale. There was, therefore, a full attendance of persons interested in the manu facturing and other departments of trade in which indigo is consumed. There were also present many buyers for expor tation. The quantity declared for sale, including the East India Company's and the licensed trade goods, not less than 10,367 chests, of which 5,613 chests were declared by the Company, and 4,754 chests by private merchants, the quantity announced for the private trade being greater than was ever before re collected. The following are the descriptions of the indigos declared, viz., 1,195 chests of Company's Bengal, and 8,909 chests of Licensed. Brazils, 117 bales of Licensed Madras, 65 chests of Java, 26 chests of Manilla, 23 chests of Kurpah, 19 chests of Oude, 9 chests of Pondicherry, and four of Brin lapatain. As soon as the Presiding Director had taken his seat it was announced that 1,280 chests were withdrawn from the sale. Mr. Wilkinson, on behalf of the trade, took occasion to complain that, after the manufacturers and others interested had come from different parts of the country, as well as from abroad, and had had the trouble of inspecting indigos declared for sale, any should be withdrawn. A Proprietor stated that the importers of indigos had an un doubted right to withdraw their property from the sale if they thought proper. They certainly had a right to do what they liked with their own property. The Presiding Director explained that it always had been customary for the Company to allow the owners of private trade indigos to withdraw their goods from the sale if they thought fit, and, he considered no opposition would be offered to such a course being continued. Mr. Wilkinson considered that after the indigos had been inspected no withdrawals ought to take place. The sale then proceeded, and it opened with much heavi ness in consequence of the quantity to be offered : but it is fully expected that much more will be withdrawn' as the sale proceeds. Of the Company's Bengal, 556 chests passed the sale during the day, which were taxed at from 3s. 6d. to ss. 6d. per lb., and fetched from 3s. 7d. to 6s. 3d. per lb. The prices realized established a decline of from 4d. to 6d. per lb. in the quotations obtained for shipping and consum ing qualities at the last sale in April. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. -Last week, as Mr. E. Hobson, agent of the River Dun Company, at Swinton, as sisted by several other persons, was in the act of landing a crate of pots from a vessel lying in the River Dun Cut, at Swinton Warehouse, the roller of the crane slipped from the wheel out of the gear, let the crate fall into the river, and the fly wheel of the crane struck Mr. Hobson violently on the side of his head, knockin g him down and fra c t ur i ng h i s skull. He remained i n a sta t e o f insensibility till Friday, when he died. An inquest was taken before Mr: Badger, coroner, and a respectable jury, who, after examining several witnesses, and inspecting the crane, which they found in a very dange rous state, and unfit for the situation in which it was placed, returned a verdict of accidental death, with a deodand of 201. on the crane.—Doncaster Gazette. COURT CIRCULAR, Summonses were issued yesterday to the Members of the Cabinet, and also to the great Officers of State, to attend a Privy Council, which the King will hold this day in St. James's after the Levee. Viscount Melbourne left town between twelve and one o'clock yesterday to have an audience of his Majesty at Wind sor Castle. The Cabinet Ministers assembled at the Council on Monday night, and remained in deliberation till two o'clock yesterday morning. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria rode in the Parks yesterday morning. Earl Grey went yesterday to Holland House, where his Lordship dined and spent the evening. The Marquis of Lansdowne had an interview yesterday with Viscount Althorp. WINDSOR , JULY 15.—Viscount Melbourne arrived here this afternoon, from town, and has had a long audience of the King. Messengers with dispatches from the Ministers for his . Majesty have arrived here, during the day, from town. The King takes an airing every day in a carriage in the parks. His Majesty goes to town to-morrow, to hold a levee, at which the contemplated Ministerial arrangements are expected to be completed. In thg evening, his Majesty will return to the Castle. 1 EARL BATHURST.--HiS Lordship daily improves. Yesterday the inquiries werev,ewumerous, and carriag e s were arriving all the d a y. The youthful Prince William of Saxe Weimar, ne phew of her Majesty, eldest son of thekuchess Ida, has recently entered the Dutch service, as Sub-LVenant in the 17th re giment of infantry. Viscount Duncannon, who is spoken of as the pro bable successor , of Viscount Melbourne as Home Secretary, is a near relative of the new Premier, whose deceased consort was Lady Caroline Ponsonby, daughter of the Earl of Besbo rough, and sister to the Noble Chief Commissioner of the Woods and Forests. Mr. Michael Angelo Taylor has been seriously:irt= disposed for several weeks past, and has suffered much in his general appearance ; and Mrs. Taylor is also in a precarious state of health. LADY CARTERET:;•—•We have the pleasure to state that her Ladyship was out of danger yesterday. The Noble Lord intended to have given a grand dinner on Saturday last, but on that day her Ladyship was taken suddenly ill. On Saturday morning the Marquis of Hertford embarked in a magnificent steam-vessel from the Tower for Margate. The Noble Lord engaged the boat for the express purpose of conveying his party only on a trip round the eastern coast. A numerous party of fashionables were invited, and embarked at the hour of 7 A. M. Lord Duncannon has obtained leave to bring in a bill to extend to the 21st January, 1835, and to the end of the next session of Parliament, the time for carrying into execu tion an Act of the Ist and 2d years of his present Majesty, for ascertaining the boundaries of the Forest of Dean, and for inquiring into the rights and privileges claimed by the free miners of the hundreds of St. Briavel's, and for other pur poses. His Lordship also obtained leave to bring in a Bill to enable the Commissioners of Sewers to make a new sewer at Bayswater; and also to bring in a Bill for empowering the Commissioners of his Majesty's Woods, Forests, Land Reve nues, Works and Buildings, to pay the net proceeds of the tolls of the Menai and Conway bridges into the receipts of his Majesty's Exchequer at Westminster, to the account of the Consolidated Fund, and for other purposes. DEATH OF VISCOUNT RANELAGII.—We regret to announce, upon the authority of letters received yesterday from the continent, the death of Lord Ranelagh, under very melancholy circumstances. It has transpired that his Lord ship was out hunting, when his horse fell with him, and he was taken up in a state of insensibility. It was found that his right leg was so dreadfully fractured as to render immediate ampu tation necessary, and after undergoing the operation, it was discovered that his thigh was also broken, and in so hazardous a part as to render amputation from the hip compulsory, to afford the smallest chance of saving his Lordship's life, and under which severe operation he expired. His Lordship was only in the 23d year of his age, and well known in the fashion able as well as the sporting world. He recently held a com mission as Lieutenant in the Ist regiment of Life Guards. We shall probably be able to give more ample details of this melancholy event in to-morrow's paper. We understand a petitio n , s i gne d b y upwar d s o f 2,000 persons of distinction, has lately been presented to the King of Sweden, praying for a reform in the representation of that country. We trust that the enlightened monarch who now sits upon the throne of Sweden, will hearken to the re quest of these petitioners as far as to make some alteration in the present cumbrous and unwieldy constitution of his king dom. A form of representation consisting, like that of Swe den, of four Chambers, is far less calculated than one divided into two Chambers to act with the dispatch and vigour which are essential for the legislature of a country. - Two fine elephants, imported for the Surrey Zoolo gical Gardens, were landed yesterday froin on board the Mal colm, via Calcutta. A number of persons were assembled to witness the disembarking, and great admiration was excited by the tractability of the animals while leaving the ship, and passing through the streets following their keeper. They are what are termed in India high caste elephants, their pedigree being transmitted with them as with race horses in this coun try. The male, Radjepoor, on being liberated, and meeting the female, Hadjepoor, on the wharf, expressed the most. ex travagant symptoms of delight, both of them sending forth cries of joy, and breathing through their trunks with such vio lence, that the blast resembled animpetuous gust of wind, the latter flapping her ears with astonishing velocity, passing the extremity of her trunk over the whole body of the male with utmost tenderness; arid inserting her trunk into his ear,and then into her own mouth. VAUXHALL.—JUVENILE FETE.--Last night the annual fete for the juvenile visitants of the gardens was given at Vauxhall, and was attended by a very numerous and respec table number of young and old. The entertainment com menced at six o'clock, in order to remove all objections to late hours, and shortly after the opening of the doors the diver sions of the evening, which were judiciously adapted to the ages and tastes of those whom they were principally meant to please, commenced. The principal features were the.prome nade round the walks of the juvenile band of the Royal Asy lum ; these comparatively diminutive musicians performed several admired pieces of music, and were a great source of amusement, not only to the younger patrons of the gardens, but to the more mature patrons of Vauxhall. The tableatix of lamps were peculiarly splendid, and the pantomimic group, consisting of three gigantic figures of Columbine, Harlequin, and Clown, in variegated lamps, was really excellent. In addition to all these attractions, fire-balloons, phantom shadows, the reality of Mr. Simpson, who, however, flitted with the rapidity of aerial existence, the Japanese brothers, &c., contributed to enliven and delight the company, and everything went off to the complete satisfaction of all by whom they were witnessed. The fireworks were peculiarly magnificent. YEARLY EPISTLE OF THE- " FRIENDS."--.The yearly epistle of this respectable body of Christians has just appeared. Among other things it notices the passing of an Act, whereby the " affirmation" of the people called Quakers is deemed equivalent to the oath of other Christians, and this recognition of civil rights was viewed by the meeting as a matter of gratitude. In that part of the epistle which may be termed their report, it appears that during the past year the " sufferings" of their body resident in England amounted to 11,907 Z., or, in other words, that they have been mulcted in that sum for tithes and other ecclesiastical claims. The so ciety are exhorted to intermeddle as little as possible with political matters, and to manifest their loyalty as heretofore to the King and his Government, so far as they can do so with a good conscience. A suitable admonition is also given to the youth of their congregations, and especially those who are engaged as commercial travellers, cautioning them against conformity to the world. Finally, there is a powerful appal to the Friends to extend their charity and bounty more libe rally to the sick and poor of every sect in their respective neighbourhoods. A certain respectable clergyman who officiated at a parish church not one hundred miles from Clarbeston, Pem brokeshire, on Sunday, the 29th ult., after having read prayers as usual, put his hand first into one pocket, and then into the other, but to his great consternation no sermon could be found. At length he spoke to the clerk, informing him that his " book" was in his great-coat pocket, in a house in the village, where he had left his horse ; but the old clerk being unfoitunately rather deaf, " made answer quite beside the mark." His reverence then bad nothing to do but to go in search of the lost treasure himself ; so making a suitable apology to his flock, off he set, and after the lapse of a short time returned, to the great joy of his congregation, who were waiting for him with the greatest patience, and read his sermon with th e same ort h o d ox ca d enc e and emphasis as if nothing had happened to ruffle his serenity. —Welshman. GAS EXPLOSION.---About eight o'clock on Friday evening, the neighbourhood of Cranbourne-street was thrown into a state of alarm by a loud explosion in the shop of Mr. G. Smith, currier, at the top of West-street. It appears that the shopman had turned on the gas and was about to light the burner,' when Mr. Smith observed that there must be an escape of gas, as the smell was exceedingly strong. The shopman then put a piece of lighted paper to the base of the brass column burner, when a loud explosion took place and the whole shop was filled with fire, which exhausting the atmo sphere indoors, the air without burst in at the window with terrific violence, blowing in even the frame work and breaking nearly every pane of glass. The shopman, however, with great presence of mind, ran down to the warehouse below and turned off the gas at the main pipe ; by which means he pro videntially saved the whole premises from destruction. The counter was blown all to pieces ; but we rejoice to say that no personal injury was sustained, if we except the hurt of the shopman, who was slightly burned in the right hand.— Brighton Guardian. A case came before the Lord Mayor's Court a few days ago, which was instituted by Miss Howard, owner of a freehold house, No. 56, Cannon -street, to recover compensa tion from the London-bridge Committee, whose plan of the formation of a new street from Mansion-house-place to King William-street could not be carried on without infringing on on her premises. The case had been for some time under discussion between the parties, and Mr. Serjeant Wilde, such was its importance, received a fee of 100 guineas with a brief to appear in the matter. It appears that the corner of the WEXFORD, JULY 13. (FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) At a time when " public opinion " is of the first import ance to statesmen and journalists, it may be well to in form you how it is at present in this county, lately the scene of much political bustle and excitement. The Second Edition of the Sun newspaper of the 9th inst. having diffused throughout Ireland the latest authentic intelligence yet arrived of all circumstances connected with the resignation of Earl Grey, the public mind is now made up, and prepared, to hear of no other change in the ma nagement of affairs, than such as can, and will carry into effect the measures already begun or contemplated for our welfare and tranquillity. Be assured, therefore, that the " people "—and I include under this term the majority of numbers, as well as of wealth and intelligence --expect that ere this, a perfectly liberal Cabinet will have been formed on the principles, at least as regards Ireland, of the expla nations given on Wednesday last by Lord 'Althorp, and Mr. Littleton, in the House of Commons. And here let me endeavour to show, what really is the state of " public opinion " here, for the late election, I find, is by no means a proper criterion whereby to judge of it. Though Mr. Waddy has been returned in the room of Lord Carew, in opposition to Mr. Harvey, an anti-repeal candidate, it must not be inferred either that the repeal question is a sine qua non with the electors of the county, or that the electors are disposed to vote against their landlords. Mr. Waddy owes his election to the following circumstances—the exertions of the young and least worthy portion of the Catholic clergy, the indifference of the Conservative landlords, and the want of time on the side of the sound portion of the constituency, who expected that Sir Thomas Esmond, a rational Reformer, would have offered himself. If there were a new election one month hence, the •county might exhibit a feeling totally different from that apparent in the return of Mr. Waddy. The Assizes commenced here yesterday. The state of the Calendar, containing only seven cases, none of them of an aggrav - ated nature, differs from many recent calenders in the county. It should not, however, be inferred from this circumstance, that this part of Leinste'r is an exception to the statements made in the Lord Lieutenant's late dis patches so much spoken of. On the contrary, the follow ing fact, not much alluded to in any of the. Irish news papers, but too fearfully verifies his Excellency's most ag gravated statements. About two years ago, one of the most atrocious acts in the annals of crime, was perpetrated at Tourfarney, in the western part of this county, wherein four persons were murdered, and their residences burned to ashes. Two men were some time ago executed for the foul deed, and it was hoped that the spirit of mischief had been subdued, or expelled from the country. The pre mises were rebuilt, and the surviving part of the family (the Maddocks's) were about to return to their ill-fated abode. But, on the very night when it was supposed they had retaken possession, the premises were again reduced to ashes. This occurred about•six weeks ago !! ! AFRICAN EXPEDITION. The death of Richard Lander, the discoverer of the great geographical problem of the course of the Niger, has added another to the numerous victims who have perished in the attempt to explore the interior of Africa. Accounts brought by the last English packet state that he was mur dered by the natives several hundred miles up the river, whither he had gone on a commercial expedition. The history of African Discovery is a history of unex ampled mortality. Since the feeble attempts of the Por tuguese and English trading companies to penetrate into the interior, down through the numerous expeditions fitted out by the " African Association," and the British Go vernment, how few—two or three at , the most—of the tra vellers have survived the journey. Not one has survived a second attempt. Caille and John Lander are still living, though it would not be surprising if they should follow the example of their predecessors, and renew their efforts—to share a similar fate. With this fatal prospect before them, there have never been wanting persons ready to embark in the same undertaking. A more remarkable evidence cannot be found in history, of the unconquerable spirit of enterprise, thati the eagerness with which the places of. the dead are filled up immediately by zealous competitors, at the risk of martyrdom, in the cause of knowledge. Our own countryman, Ledylrd, was the first adven . turer on this field sent out after the establishment of the British " African Association." He arrived at Cairo in August, 1788, and died there shortly after. The next was a Mr. Lucas, who penetrated but a little distance, and returned to Tripoli, abandoning the expedition. The third was Major Houghton, the British Consul at Morocco, who undertook to reach the Niger by the route of the Gambia. After being robbed by the Moors, in the Great Desert, be was abandoned, and perished of hunger and fatigue, in 1791. The celebrated Mungo Park followed. The story of his first voyage, which he commenced in 1795, is well known. He returned safely to England after an absence of three years. His second and fatal voyage commenced in 1805. The large expedition which he carried with him melted away before the pestilential influence of the African climate. Of 38 Europeans who started with him, five only were left, all sick, and one deranged, when he embarked on board his canoe, in November, 1805, on his voyage down the Niger ; after which he was no more heard of with certainty until the voyage of Denham and Clapper ton ascertained the particulars of his murder. The Association lied in the mean time dispatched other travellers into Africa—Horneman, who perished in 1810 by disease at a town on the Niger ; and Mr. Nichols, who proposed to start from the Gulf of Benin, and died there of fever. A German, named Roentgen, was dispatched in 1809, under the same auspices. He reached Mogadore, but was robbed and murdered, a few miles from the place whence he set out. The narratives of Riley and Adams, both Americans, are next in order. They both survived a slavery in Africa. The expeditions sent out by the British Government were not more fortunate than those of the Association. A grand enterprise, fitted out in 1816, was divided into two parties, one to descend the Niger, and one to ascend the Congo—the last commanded by Captain Tuckey, and the former by Major Peddie, with numerous attendants. Most of the officers of the Congo expedition perished. The captain, the zoologist, the botanist, the geologist, who• ac companied it, fell successively. The other party fared no better. Major Peddie died early ; his successor in com mand, Colonel Campbell, soon followed ; the third in com mand, Lieutenant Stockoe, survived them only a few days. The miserable remains of the party returned in the fall of 1817. The next enterprise was conducted by Messrs. Ritchie fond Lyon. The former died at Fezzan, and the latter returned safe. Major Laing and Captain Gay had a little while before made short expeditions into the interior, and returned without loss of life. The important expeditions of Denham and Clapperton, accompanied by Dr. Oudney and Mr. Toole, were the next in point of time. The journal of their first voyage, is fami-, liar to most readers. Mr. Toole and Dr. 'Oudney died on that journey. Clapperton's second voyage was accompanied by Dr. Morrison and Captain Pearce. Their serVant, Ri chard Lander, was the only survivor ; the others died suc cessively from the effects of the climate. Major Laing, the next victim, was assassinated in the Desert. The French travellar, Caine was .the immediate prede cessor of the Landers in their first and successful journey. He returned in 1828. Their first journey was terminated in 1831. The second has added the name of Richard Lan der to this long list of mortality. On looking it over, and remarking with how few exceptions the attempts of tra vellers have been fatal to them, one cannot but Wonder at the pertinacious spirit with which 'the attempts are re peated.—Balt. Amer. MRS. SIDDONS AS LADY MACBETH.—It was my custom (says Mrs. Siddons, in her memoranda) to study my characters at night, when all my domestic cares and busi ness of the day were over. Mn the night •preceding that on which I was to appear in this part for the first time, I shut myself up as usual, when all the family were Ketired, and com menced my study of Lady Macbeth. As the character is very 'short, I thought I should soon accomplish it. Being then only twenty years of age, I believed, as many others do be lieve, that little more was necessary than to get the words into my head ; for the necessity of discrimination, and the deve lopement of character, at that time of my life, had•scarcely entered into my imagination. But to proceed ; I went on with tolerable composure, in the silence of night (a night I never can forget), till I came to the assassination scene, when the horrors of the scene rose to a degree that made it impos sible for me to get further ; I snatched up my candle, and hur ried out of the room in a paroxysm of terror. My dress was of silk, and the rustling of it, as I ascended the stairs to go to bed, seemed to my panic-struck fancy like the movement of a spectre pursuing me. At last I reached my chamber, where I found my husband fast asleep. I clapped my candlestick down upon the table, without the power of putting the candle out ; and threw niyself on the bed, without daring even to take off my clothes. At peep of day I rose to resume my task; but so little did I know of my part when I appeared in .it at night, •that my shame and confusion cured me of pro crastinating my business for the remainder of my life.—Camp bell's Life of Mrs. Siddons, BRUSSELS PAPERS. BRUSSELS, JULY 13.—The King and Queen will return this evening at six o'clock, to the Palace at Brussels, whence they will go to Lacken. The Muniteur says, "We hear that the Belgians who were arrested in the course of last month in the Dutch territory, whither they had gone as agricultural labourers, have been set at liberty by order of the Cabinet of the Hague, to which ap plication had been made on the subject." The Courrier gives some particulars of the illness of M. Gendebrin, who had almost recovered from the fall from his horse three weeks ago, and had even retie out in a carriage the day before yesterday, but was yesterday suddenly seized with a serious indisposition, which caused his family and friends to be under great alarm for some hours. Prompt as sistance averted the danger, and he is now as well as can be expected, after such a crisis as. he has experienced. ' The Liberal announces that the Minister of War has de cided, that from the Ist of January next, the provisions of the army shall be supplied by the Government, and not by con tract. This measure is the result of some experiments lately . made on the quality of the provisions furnished Wool:Az:act, which, especially the bread, have been found of suell'a nature as tended to contribute to aggravate the opthalmia, which afflicts our army. .The general debate on the corn law again took up - the whole of yesterday's sitting, and did not present any remark able feature. All those who spoke in favour of the proposed law adduced no new arguments, and confined themselves within the same circle, a ll eg i ng on l y t h e d i stress of the agri culturists, and the necessity of relieving it, whereas the ad versaries of the law founded their opposition on facts so deci sive, that one the, be blind not to recognise them.--Brussels Papers, July 14. GERMAN PAPERS. ROME, JULY I.:—.The decree of the 28th ult. in Por tugal- relating to the suppression of convents, and which is very unwelcome news here, has filled even. the friends of Don Pedro' with terror. The indulgence hitherto shown by the . Pope is ascribed solely ,to the represen• tation made by the French Court, where it appeared to be believed that in Lisbon some attention would be paid to those representations against such a proceeding. As this has not been the case, there scarcely - appears any other method re maining than that the Holy Father should pronounce an ana thema on the government of the Queen Donna Maria da Gloria. Independent - of the. effect such a step might have, it is to be feared that the acknowledgment of the young Queen will be long delayed, as well here as by the Powers friendly to us. The news from some Spanish American re publics, particularly from Mexico, where the suppression of the convents has likewise been ordered, has made less im pression here. The cause of this apparent apathy has arisen, no doubt, because it was hoped to arrest this measure by negotiations. As concerns Spain, a disposition is shown to find out some means by which' an acknowledgement may be made possible. It consists in a proposal on the French, and especially on the English side, that an alliance should take place between the young Queen and the eldest son of Don Carlos. The Romans have been some days uneasy, on account of a report that the Go vernment had an intention of putting paper money•into circu lation. Nowhere have - people greater dislike to paper money than here ; as many families are living who were ruined in the year 1798, when the paper money became no longer current, and the holders never received the least indemnity. This re port evidently arises from the established Discount and Deposit Bank, having the intention to issue bills to a certain extent. • VIENNA, JULY 5.--His Highness Prince Metternich set out this morning for Baden, to wait on his Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty will stop some weeks at Baden, and then go to his estates in Bohemia. It is reported that there is to be no assembling of troops in Moravia, and that orders will be immediately sent to the regiments which are intended to form the camp, not to quit their respective garrisons. The regular navigation of the steam-boats on the Lower Danube will begin next month. The voyage from Pesth to Constantinople will then be performed with ease in ten days. The Government intends to have a regular boat from Pesth to Constantinople, by means of the steam-boats. Several members of the diplomatic body leave Vienna to visit the baths in Bohemia. Sir Frederick Lamb, the English Ambassador, will go to London to arrang e some family a ff a i rs . The Countess St. Aulaire goes to Paris. In the absence of Count Bernstorff, the Danish Ambassa dor, Count Reventlow Criminil acts as Charge d'Affaires. Letters from Trieste say that further arrests have taken place in Greece, and that the Mainots are still in a state of insurrec tion. It was hoped that after the end of the trial of Coloco luma and Celioporcles, who were expected to be sentenced to death, but to have their punishment commuted by the King to imprisonment for life, the people's minds would become more calm, and the Regency be able to introduce, without obstacle, all the reforms which it projected.

MINISTERS.—The latest number of the political Gazette gives the following particulars relative to the events in Maina : —" The Regency has been obliged to send a detachment of troops to Maina, in order to restore tranquillity, which has been interrupted by several chiefs, as they , did not re gard the summons made to them to submit. The Com mander of the troops was obliged to employ force. The Royal troops had, when the last accounts left Greece, already taken and destroyed a great part of the fortified towns, and the re-establishment of legal order was expected to be very shortly effected.—Allgemeine Zeitung, July 10.' MissoLoNGni, JUNE 7.—A vessel, which arrived here yes terday evening, from Patras, brought news from Calamata to the 27th of May, and from Napoli to the end of the month.. The Greek troops,. about 1,500 strong, with artillery, had marched against the Mainots. Their country presents ranges of hills declining from the Taygetus to the sea, rather uneven than steep. On the eminence are towers, square buildings, with strong walls, which serve the Captains for residences and fortresses. A great number of them may be seen from Calamata, that is from the castle. The expe- - dition was against them. The Mainots, resolved 16 re- • sist, could not keep their ground in the open country against the impetuosity of the troops, who are much exaspe rated, and the effects of the heavy cannon. They retreated with considerable loss to the defiles and mountains in the back ground, and on the 27th May, eight of the traders were taken and destroyed by the aid of the artillery. ' On the other hand parties of the enemy came, especially in . he night, up to the walls of the town, having made their way through the troops t o th e eas t o f Calamata. The Royal troops are said to have also suffered some loss, and the excite ment on both sides seems to be great. Fresh difficulties may be expected on the other side of the defiles which separate the exterior from the interior country, or Maine Proper. While this is passing in western Maine, the eastern part has also been attacked, which is separated from the other by the im passable ridge of Taygetus. There are no positive accounts of the result.

HINT FOR A " CAVALIER SEUL."-,--In certain cities of the south, where gentlemen having felt the icy chill of a refusal to an invitation to dance, where a lady who is de clared to be engaging, declares herself to be engaged, a form is used which prevents any such disappointment. At the door of the salon a danser is a corbeille of artificial flowers, from which each visitor selects one and presents it to the lady of his choice. She wears the ornament in her ceinture until she has danced her two sets, and then returns it to her partner. Thus a lady who wears no bouquet is disengaged, and the offer of the flower saves the trouble of a speech and the pain of refusal. —Le Canzeleon.

When he leaves the river and comes on the land, the animal quits the water also, and follows him immediately.
