FRENCH PAPERS, __„„ s ______ Th e s s (From the Papers of Tuesday.) s b, ex 4nalcateur of _Bordeaux of the 17th instant, received . f ro Press, has the following :---" Our letters of the 14th 41.11stil_e. frontier confirm the news that .. the insurgents, .de ts, °I avoiding a general action, divided themselves into net, et :rPs, one of which, commanded by . Zumalacarreguy, co ,. e t :r over the mountains to Bastan, while the other, tlgststng, of three battalions, is wandering over the moun- G, 4 1 : el' 131 scay, where it is closely pursued by the Queen's his :la's, Espartero and El Pastor. Rodil has concentrated r aole army, and seeks an engagement, which Zumalacar tetali.ways w a ' voids. The greatest discouragement prevails of w a tue Carlists. On the evening of the 13th a Spanish ship Pereeahr.e.,arrived. off St. Sebastian. The Captain thought he har d , ate signals made by persons on . shore,_ he i_ e te therefor caused the flag of Charles V. to be hoisted; boats pushed off, and a number of persons went on had been to their great disappointment, discovered that they lea rn ell entrapped, and were made prisoners of War. ~ We th e B:4ll,t,liiiti.aaitle.ehat receivedleast loo l e C t t a e r r l i s st a s n w d e j r o e o c rn au n g l s h f t r i o n m t the Madrid, snare dated tiele,`",ll,lstant.

The debt is le ans c r' s d of four different parts-Ist, the' Cortes loan ; 2d, the s r lnade since 1823 ; 3d, the English debt ; and 4th, the th e en , ll debt. The Cortes ' loan, which was not recognised . by 4.esirsoeverinnent, was discussed and adopted by the n w a a t s ion e a l l l api; .nttatives with all the forms of legality. It Oo r d e l 0 the necessities of the state and the public service, kbetritleiPallv that of the Palace, and those in employment lest °f t- The loans since 1823 were made without the con- Pli ed t he nation. It is true that parts of them have been ap bls be o the Public service, but Spain may ask, first,.how , m_uch e kis we et l, so applied ; and next, how much was received. Th for tb r Is 2 25,000 000 seals (56,250,000 f.), and yet we owe te ot i l -e se loans 2 ,000,000,000 reals (500,000,000 f.) ; so thata Sta te eill Y of this debt has been received into the coffers of the wh e - b; Au arrangement made with England in 1827, and (1% cannot be broken, obliges us to pay her 70,00 . 0,0 . 00 reals °C) ' °° °). The rench invasion and occupation in 1823, h erti 411.141 and ruinous war, which destroyed both our 1 07 6 20, 0 , a nd our finances, laid ' upon the nation a burthen f ;440'4000 seals (80,000,000 f. )--a debt which we can . never t ag e led ge. The Minister of the Finances, notwithstand tot ,e deficits and the embarrassments of the Treasury, has debts,aestated to acknowledge the whole of these foreign e b t and divided them into active and passive. The active of tt. comprises the French and English loans, the moiety ~, ae deb t . the interest, and a ssdet anterior to 1823, minus a ko .Y of the loans since 1823..

The yacht arrived at Woolwich about 3 o'clock yester day afternoon, and her Majesty was received on landing by the Earl of Albemarle, Master of the Horse to the King, and Lord Frederick Fitzclarence. Her Majesty and Suite, in four carriages, arrived at St. James's at 5 o'clock. The Duke cf Cumberland visited their Majesties soon 'after the Queen's arrival. The King and Queen left town at a quarter past 6 o'clock last evening for Windsor Castle. His Majesty gave an audience yesterday afternoon to the Duke of Grafton. ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY. We are happy to announce the safe a rr i va l o f h er M a j es ty in this country, which, according to anticipation, took place at an early hour yesterday afternoon. This event caused no in considerable excitement along th e r i ver . Th oug h t h e cere monials attendant on it were not of that extensive character which marked her departure, they were still such as could not fail to be highly grateful to her Majesty's feelings, as they were assuredly honourable to the manliness and generosity of the English character. The Lord Mayor, with nis usual spirit, had made every preparation to act his part as became the first officer of the great city of London. A number of his fellow-citizens were invited to join him on board the Magnet steam-boat at s i x o'clock yesterday morning—their wives and daughters gracing the happy party. The band of the 3d Fusileer Guards was also in attendance, and greatly added to the enjoyment of the day by their splendid execution of several airs. Soon after being under weigh, a most costly breakfast was served, and_ indeed everything was done which could contribute to the happiness of his guests and maintain the well-known hos pitable character of the Lord Mayor. His Lordship, at half past eleven, met the royal squadron at Sheerness, and, after saluting, passed it, and re-passing it on the other side, led the way—at once showing respect to the Queen and maintaining his own official right as Conservator of the Thames. The Magnet, it should be observed, had been decorated in the most splendid style, and presented a most gay and happy appear ance. A Government steamer followed next, having in tow the Royal George, which was followed by another steamer, that might be put in requisition in case of accident. Ap proaching - within two or three miles of Gravesend, the royal party was joined by other steamers, which had left London at a later hour than the Lord Mayor. These and other vessels which now almost momentarily joined, greatly increased the effect of the positions which they took up. In this order they reached. Gravesend, where the scene became of the most animating cha racter. The royal vessel lay to for a few minutes, during which the steamers—not few in number—gave way a little, thus permitting the numberless boats which glided over the water to pass close under the yacht. The cannon of 'Tilbury Fort then pealed forth their noisy welcome—the myriads on the Kentish side replied to each discharge with loud and hearty huzzas--and th ose u p on th e wa t er ec h oe d again and again the joyous note. The Royal George and several other vessels manned their yards, and an universal shout of " God bless the King and Queen 1" rent the air. Her Majesty, attended uncovered by Lord Adolphus Fitz clarence, turned from side to side, and with no common warmth of manner acknowledged these affectionate tributes. The Lord Mayor's vessel now slowly proceeded in her course, the steamer and Royal George followed. The Royal Sove reign and Albion steamers, crowded with delighted passengers, were permitted to come close on each side of the yacht,—close in the wake followed many others , besides craft of all kinds and dimensions,—and thus was passed the town of Gravesend. One of the most picturesque sights of the whole trip now offered itself. The coast between Gravesend and Northfleet is well known to be of a hilly and romantic character. All the commanding points were crowded by elegantly dressed fe males, and though there was no welcome by voices l ou d and deep, the w av i ng o f sc arfs and hankerchiefs showed strongly the enthusiasm which prevailed. The vessels again tarried for a few moments in their onward course, that their occupants might contemplate this splendid picture, heightened THE U 7 , LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 18E4 and enriched' as it was by an unclouded sky, and a clear and brilliant suu. From this point to Erith, the vessels made very slow progress, the object of the delay evidently being to reach F Woolwich at a particular hour, when all matters would be duly prepared for the reception due to her Majesty's station. The number of attendant vessels of course gradually increased, and we were not a little pleased to find that in passing several . traders, either at anchor or in motion, the crews, though small in amount, gave three cheers, in a tone which showed the goodness of the feeling whence they originated. These were invariably responded to by the gruff hurras of the tars of the Royal George, and acknowledged by Lord Fitzclarence taking off his hat. Steamers from London passed very rapidly, many of them exceedingly full : not one but what hailed, and ga ve three hearty cheers. To this salute the Queen invariably re plied by a personal acknowledgment—all the officers, from th e youngest middy to the captain, turning to the point and hold ing their hats in the air until the saluting vessels had passed. These mutual recognitions greatly enlivened the scene. The signal was now made that all was ready at Woolwich, and the point soon rounded. The effect was excellent. The first object which caught the eye in the fields adjoining the arsenal, was the Royal Horse Artillery, one of the most superb corps in Europe. Beyond, in the yard of the arsenal, a bat talion of infantry in marching order, then two parks of Foot Artillery, and beyond them, lining the entire front, infantry again. Amongst them, of course, were scattered several general and field officers, whose gorgeous uniforms attracted universal attention. When the Royal George had fairly got in front, the peal of the gun came booming over the water, and the whole line of infantry presented arms. The cannon pealed on from point to point, when the soldiers grounded arms, and stood at ease. The standard of Eng land was now advanced two or three paces, and the general commanding took his hat off his head, as did every officer and every private, and three deafening cheers were given. Again the sailors manned the yards, and responded to the shout, aided by the willing voices of thousands on the water. The town of Woolwich was crowded in every part which com manded a view of the river, and the same welcome sprung from every quarter. At twenty minutes past three, the Royal George took up her position in front of the Dock-yard, each vessel occupying the best situation she could obtain.. There was no confusion, and no unworthy effort at precedence. Each vessel and boat was kept at a suitable distance from the stairs, by cutters manned by men-of-war's men, and com manded by sub-lieutenants and midshipmen. The front of the dock-yard presented a splendid appearance, as did all the windows and roofs of the private houses and public offices. They were literally crammed with beautiful and elegantly dressed females. Other parts of the Dock-yard were equally crowded, no less than 6,000 persons having been admitted through the gates. In the interior were seen the royal equi pages : the Marines were drawn up at the landing-place, and a guard of honour lined the passage to the gates. Just at this moment the Lord Mayor left his own vessel, and rowed along side the royal yacht, on board which he was invited.. His Lordship obeyed the summons, and, we are informed, in feeling and manly terms congratulated her Majesty on her safe arrival once more in England. To this her Majesty re plied, and acknowledged in warm terms the attention she had met with from the Lord Mayor, and the reception given to her by the people. A cutter rowed by twelve men was now seen advancing from the stairs. At half distance she stopped, and her com mander, standing up, took off his hat ; the troops instantly presented arms, and the band of the Marines struck up the air of " God save the King." Every vessel out of Dock was in stantly manned, every oar in every boat gave the royal salute by throwing up her oars perpendicularly, and the cutter pro ceeded to the Royal George. A cutter, containing the Chief Commissioner of the yard, then advanced from the royal yacht. This was followed by the Water-bailiff's shallop, containing the Lord Mayor and others; and next came her Majesty and suite, Sir T. Hardy, (Governor of Greenwich Hospital,) in the court dress of an admiral, and uncovered, steering the vessel. Her Majesty was received on her landing, by the Lords of the Admiralty, the Commander in Chief of the Forces (Lord Hill), by Sir John Savage, Sir James Kempt, Sir James Cockburn, the different heads of departments at Woolwich, by the Earl of Munster, and several other distinguished individuals. The moment her Majesty landed (four o'clock) signals were made, which at once conveyed to his Majesty, at St. James's, the gra tifying intelligence. In a few minutes the royal party started for London, in five carriages, preceded by outriders, and escorted by a guard of honour. On leaving Woolwich, the cheering was partially renewed. At Greenwich a great number of persons had as sembled, to witness the royal cavalcade; but not a voice could we hear say, " God bless them !" Upon inquiry, we find that a bitterness of spirit prevails in this place, on account of the partiality shown by the Queen for Woolwich. The good folks of Greenwich maintain, that as her Majesty embarked at Woolwich, she might in fairness have disembarked at Green wich. Therefore, the people. of Greenwich —that is, the shouting portion of the people, would not, on this occasion, exhale the " fickle , reek of popular breath." At Deptford, however, things began to change ; an d a ll a l ong the roa d , which was plentifully lined with people (at many points it was crowded), her Majesty was most heartily received. At a few minutes after five, the Queen arrived at St. James's Palace, where, we are happy to say, that, after making every possible inquiry, we cannot learn of any accident, either " by flood or field." The day, which was throughout a most beautiful one, furnished an ample store of delight to many persons ; to none, we should think, more than to her whom it really appeared to be the almost united wish of all to honour and respect.

HAYMARKET THEATRE. Buckstone's new " entirely original comedy, in three acts," is original in more than one sense of the word, and we can assure our readers that it is very laughable. The construc tion of it does him credit, and the dialogue, in many scenes, is pointed and easy. All the persons in the piece are married, even to the valet and housemaid; and the moral (for it has a moral) to be drawn from it is not bad, though perhaps not very new, viz., that in matrimony it is absolutely necessary for happiness that both parties should rub off rough corners, and smooth down asperities, so as not to give offence or pain whevever they come in contact. In all the instances before us, the husband and wife are strongly cor.trasted. Mr. Samuel Coddle (W. Farren) is an old gentlemen smothered to the eyes in flannel in July, while his partner (Mrs. Glover) is a bustling, stout, cheerful woman, in a heat even in January. Mr. Lionel Lynx ( Vining) is a gay young man, without much thought, and with no fear ; but his wife (Mrs. Faucit) is full of jealousy and suspicion. Mr. Younghusband ( Brindal) and his lady (Mrs. Humby) may be said to resemble each other more than any other couple in the comedy ; for they are both the very spirit of contradiction. Mr. and Mrs. Dismal are an old bachelor and an old maid, who have married because they are tired of living alone ; and they are soon quite as tired of living together. The last pair to be named is Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dove ( Buckstone and Mrs. W. Clifford) : the former has been a footman in the service of the latter, who has been a school-mistress. She has all the igno rant pedantry of her class, and of course is shocked at the un conscious blunders committed by her spouse, whom she has elevated above his station. These parties are brought together in this way—and the plot is comparatively simple, though not perhaps the most probable that could have been invented: — Mrs. Lionel lynx is jealous of her husband, and hears that he has placed a young lady of the suspicious age of seventeen as a boarder in the school of Mrs. Henri/ Dove. To calm his wife's mind, he prevails upon Mr., Samuel Coddle to pretend that the young lady is his daughter ; but the old gentleman does not consent without being threatened with the exposure \ of a previous marriage, into which he had entered in Antigua, where lie had resided in his youth. Rather, therefore, than run the risk of an indictment for bigamy, he consents to adopt, as his pretended daughter, the protege of Mr. Lionel Lynx. The truth is, that this protege was no other than Lionel's sister ; but this does not appear until after Mrs. Lynx has gone to extremities, and quitted her husband's house. Mrs. Coddle, through the informati on o f M r . an d M rs . Di sma l, confirmed by the evidence of Mr. and Mrs. Younghusband, becomes acquainted with the fact that her husband has been previously married in the West Indies, and that his first wife is actually in London. Old Coddle receives the same tidings, and quits his dwelling in despair, and, at one period of the performance, all the husbands and all the wives are in a state of separation, and two very good scenes consist of a sort of chorus of grief and condolence between the sepa rately assembled husbands and wives. It turns out that Old Coddle had been cheated into his first marriage by his first wife—that it was, therefore, void, and that he could be res tored to his second. This, of course, occurs at the conclu sion of the performance, where Mr. and Mrs. Lynx are also reconciled, and the other pairs re-united, to their mutual joy and satisfaction. The acting was good throughout. Ferrer , has a capital part, which he played like a finished artist. At the fall of the curtain it was announced by Vining for repe tion every evening, and w e have no doubt that it will have a considerable run. Mr. Brodie, the eminent surgeon, is to be made a Baronet. (FROM OVR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) NEWCASTLE, Auo. 19. This day having been appointed for the presentation to Earl Grey of the different addresses voted to him by the inhabitants of this district, the town of Newcastle at an early hour assumed a very animated appearance. The ships in the harbour hoisted their flags ; flags were also suspended from the windows of numerous houses in the town, and the bells of the different churches rang merry peals. A numerous deputation from the borough of Tynemouth, headed by Henry Metcalf, Esq., of Tynemouth House ; and another equally res p ec t a bl e b o d y rom South Shields, headed by Bryan Abbs, Esq., of Cleadon House, arrived soon after twelve o'clock. Precisely at one o'clock Earl Grey reached the Guildhall (which had been granted by the Mayor for the occasion), accompanied by the Earl of Durham and the Hon. Thomas Grey. He was re ceived by the assembled thousands with deafening and enthu siastic cheers, and conducted into the hall by the Rev. John Saville Ogle, Mr. Alderman Sorsbie, Dr. Fenwick, Colonel Bell, Samuel Walker Parker, Esq., Colonel Campbell, George Thomas Dunn, Esq., Dr. Headlam, John Grey, Esq., T. M. Greenhow, Esq., and John Shield, jun., Esq. Lord Grey having taken his place on the bench, Mr. Met calf addressed his Lordship in an energetic speech, and then presented the North Shields address. He was followed by Mr. Garrett, who presented the address from the Stewards of the Incorporated Companies of Newcastle : afterwards by Mr. Abbs, who, after an eloquent speech, presented the South Shields address ; and then by the Rev. Mr. Ogle, who, in a very able speech, presented the Newcastle address, signed by upwards of 2,100 of the most influential bankers, merchants, ship-owners, and other inhabitants of the town and neighbour hood. Earl Grey then, in a most energetic and feeling speech, which was received throughout with the most rapturous plau dits, returned thanks to the gentlemen by whom the addresses had been presented, and to the immense assembly in the hall, by whom he had been so warmly and so affectionately greeted. He was (on the call of the meeting) followed by the Earl of Durham in a most able and eloquent address. After which the meeting broke up, highly delighted with the proceedings of the day, which must hav e convinced Earl Grey of the hi g estimation in which he is held by the inhabitants of his native county. (From the Second Edition of the Tyne Mercury.) A public meeting took place this day ( Tuesday, Aug. 19, in the Guildh4 which was densely c r o w d e d i n ever y part, for the purpose of presenting addresses to Earl Grey upon his return to his native county, on his recent retirement from office. His Lordship, accompanied by the Earl of Durham, arrived punctually at the hour appointed, one o'clock, and they were vehemently cheered on their entrance. As soon as they had taken their seats, HENRY METCALFE, Esq., rose and observed—l appear on behalf of the inhabitants of North Shields and the borough of Tynemouth, to present an address congratulating your Lord ship upon your return to your native county, and expressing the high sense we entertain of you as being the most honest and upright statesman that ever wielded the councils of Great Britain. Mr. M. then read the address. Mr. W. GARRET then rose and observed—May it please your Lordship to accept from me an address which was adopted at a public meeting of the Stewards of the Incorporated Com pan;es of Newcastle a few days ago. This address conveys the sentiments of a great number of my brother burgesses of this corporation, which has for a long time been under a suspi cion of being hostile to that freedom whiA you and your col leagues have given to the country, in the shape of a Reform Bill. I think I might venture to say, on behalf of my bro ther burgesses, that when the Bill was first introduced in Parliament, the burgesses of Newcastle were the first to step forward, in favour of the right of householders' voting being given to the people of England. It is almost unnecessary to mention any part of your Lordship's public life. We all know well that you have been for half a century the advocate of civil and religious liberty, the friend of the slave, and the friend of your country. We can only regret that you should have retired so soon from office without our having the pleasure to witness the completion of that reform which we anticipate in municipal corporations—(Great ap plause)—but I may say, in the short motto of the Earl of Dur ham, "We hope the day will come." Mr. G. then read the address. BRYAN AIMS, Esq., of Cleadon House, presented an address rom the inhabitants of South Shields, which he prefaced with a short speech, but he spoke in so low a tone as scarcely to be audible to any but his Lordship: The Rev. Mr. OGLE, of Kirkley, then addressed Ms Lord ship as follows :—I have the honour to be deputed by a very large number of the staunch friends of Earl Grey to present an address to yqur Lordship, the object of which is to express their unfeigned approbation of your political conduct from the first day you entered Parliament as the representative of this county to the present hour. Many gentlemen could have exe cuted this office better than myself, but the very long expe rience which I have had of your Lordship's virtues, as well as talents, may be the reason why I have been selected in pre ference to others. Most highly do we appreciate your con sistency and your talents, and your Lordship now receives the approbation of your fellow countrymen for the great and im portant services which you have rendered to the State—such services as no man has ever rendered his country. We may regret that circumstances h ave l e d y ou to determine to retire from the situation which you have filled with such honour and such consistency ; but at the same time we may be permitted to express a hope, that you may spend the rest of your life a bright example, particularly to those of your own order, of private virtue and domestic happiness.--( Great applause.) Mr. Joins FENWTCK then read the address, which, together with those which were previously presented, and the speeches which accompanied them, were listened to with great atten tion by the Noble Earl, who politely bowed to the different speakers. Earl GREY then rose and addressed the meeting to the fol lowing effect : —Gentlemen, the deputation from the borough of Tynemouth, from the Incorporated Companies of the Bur gesses, and from the borough of South Shields, and the gentle men signing themselves as my friends, from whom the last ad dress has been presented, I beg you all, jointly and severally, to accept my heartfelt thanks for the honour you have done me. It is quite impossible for any words that I can employ to ex press the deep and heartfelt sensations of satisfaction and gra titude with which I have met you on this:occasion. The appro bation of his fellow-countrymen is, in my estimation, the best reward which any public servant can receive, and it is so to me more especially on this occasion, when, on my retirement from public life, or at least from official life—( Hear, hear) — my whole conduct lies before you. A favourable judgment has been pronounced on the principles and motives by which I have been regulated. Gentlemen, it certainly has been my lot, in the long course of political warfare in which I have engaged, to have my motives misunderstood and misrepresented. They have not unfrequently been made the subject of attacks of great personal and bitter malignity. Ido not complain of this. It is the lot of all public men who take a leading part in questions of great political interest, which in the contentions that must necessarily ensue, excite the conflicting interests, prejudices, and passions of mankind. But, Gentlemen, whether I !nay have suffered in this respect little or much, I have al ways felt the support of conscious integrity. I have felt confi dent that at last justice would be done me when the whole course of my conduct was fairly before the country.—( Ap plause.) All this—more than this —infinitely more than any thing I can merit—( No, no)---I have received on the present occasion—( Great applause)_and it will be a consola tion to me during my remaining years, and a subject of just pride to reflect on the honour I have received this day. To myself it will form the greatest boast, 'as well as to those who are connected with me.—( Applause.) Gentlemen, in all the ad dresses which I have had the honour to receive this day, allu sion has been made to the great question of Parliamentary Re form. To this question my early attention and early efforts in Parliament were directed.—( Great applause.) Those ef forts were afterwards suspended under circumstances which made me almost despair of success, were uccess resumed, but the under ecausew happierneveras auspices, abandoned ipin b th m e e yve .ha My effort at length been b roug h t to a happy and rim result.— (Immense cheering.) B u t w h en I say ttiius,doi Kant and n t ot think I am so vain and presumptuous as to as sume to myself any exclusive merit for what I have done.— I was assisted by many men abler than myself, one of whom I am proud to see present on this occasiop—( Immense cheer ing)--men without whose assistance my humble efforts would have been fruitless. I was supported by the confidence of my Sovereign ; but all these advantages would have been insuffi cient, had I not been carried triumphantly through the midst of opposition and difficulty by the energies and the spirit of a brave and enlightened people.--( Tremendous cheering.) Gentlemen, this great work has been accomplished, and the people of this country have now to boast that they possess, in the ancient language of the constitution, a full, fair, and free representation. Gentlemen, having obtained this, you have obtained that which insures to you all rational and useful reform ; but give me leave to add, that the full advantage of this measure will never be experienced until it is uni. versally found and acknowledged that in the security of the liberties of the people is to be found the best pre servative of the order of society, the administration of re gular government, and the authoriry of the laws.—( Ap plause. ) Gentlemen, I have stated to you that this mea sure secures to you the means of all rational and salutary reforms : it is a means to an end, and that end will be se cured if pursued with moderation and wisdom.—( Great ap plause.) I trust you will not think it too great a liberty if I add, that having obtained a full and fair representa tion—( A few cries of " No, 'no")--I am sorry to hear any interruption ;1 I trust nothing will pass on this occasion which will give additional advantage to the enemies of reform to say that their predictions have been fulfilled, that if a large mea sure were given to the people, it would not cause satisfaction, but would lead to still further encroachments.--( Hear, hear. ) Those predictions will not I trust be verified through the im prudence of any by whose exertions this reform was obtained. —( Applause.) I have said that further reforms are required, but that they must be pursued with moderation. Having ob tained, I repeat, a fair and full representation, it will not do to be proceeding in a continual course of agitation. Reform is necessary, but in the pursuit of this necessary work you must act in the spirit of moderation and peace, and consistently with the authority of a regular and settled government—( Applause). Reform I say is necessary. This is the conviction on which the present administration, of which I was lately a member, has always acted. This is the foundation on which that ad ministration rests. It is interwoven with its existence, and it cannot exist without it.—( Great applause.) But if by depart ing from this principle of moderation which I have mentioned, you are led by restlessness and impatience into hasty and inconsiderate measures, give me leave to tell you that the cause of reform itself will be endangered, and like the machinery which the ingenuity of the present age has brought I PUBLIC MEETING AT NEWCASTLE TO I PRESENT ADDRESSES TO EARL GREY. to such perfection, if the regulating and controlling power be withdrawn, the increased velocity will cause the wheels to take fire, and reform itself will be prevented by combustion and destruction.—( Great applause.) These are the principles, to use a much perverted word, of true conservation, which, I trust, the people of England, enjoying so many blessings un der their own constitution, will maintain in the spirit of peace, and with a desire to preserve and to uphold, and not to destroy. Perhaps I have already said more than the occasion required. —( Cries of "Go on, go on.")—I don't think it necessary to say more on this point, but I will revert to one which is re ferred to in the address from North Shields, viz., the extinction of slavery ; and it adds a double interest to the address, that it was voted on that very day when the manacles of slavery fell from the limbs of our oppressed fellow -countrymen.—( Great applause.) I took a humble but a sincere and zealous part in endeavouring to accomplish and carry into effect this measure. It is true, the expence which was incurred imposes a severe burden on the country, but I ask you, and I confidently antici pate your unanimous concurrence, whether it was not worth all the money which has been given to produce so great a good, and remove so foul a stain from the character of the nation. —( Great applause.) Many other great and important measures have been accomplished —many more are in promise. Yet, not withstanding, I know it is a common complaint, that the Go vernment has not fulfilled the just expectations of the people. In answer to this complaint, I desire that you will look into the difficulties with which we had to contend, not only in the way of direct opposition, but from the zeal of imprudent f: iends.— It is said little has been done, but during the two last sessions of parliament, and those two the longest sessions of which there is any example in history, more hours have been consumed every week in the House of Commons than has been known at any previous session. Many questions were introduced of great importance, and time was not found for their discussion. They were shut out by questions of which notice had been given. I do not find fault with this, it was the natural effect of the zeal of the persons who were returned to the first Reformed Par liament. It showed their anxiety for the public good, and was therefore so far laudable ; but I beg you to consider, that if every person, however good his intentions, kept the House of Commons in the discussion of particular questions, some of them of an objectionable nature, casting ridicule on legisla tion, it was natural that discussion on those measures intro duced by Government should be prevented. Under these cir cumstances, I ask you whether it is the fault of Government that more has not been done.—( Cries of " No, no.") Here, then, with this short notice I take leave of these subjects, only begging you, as a second answer to this com pl a i nt , to look back to these two sessions, and bear in mind the measures which have been brought to perfection ; and I ask you, if, three or four years ago, any one had told you, that at this season, not only the measure of Parliamentary Reform, but also those other mea sures which were its necessary consequences would be accom plished, whether anybody in the British realm would have believed it.—( No, no.) Gentlemen, I take leave of you once more, by expressing my heartfelt thanks for your kindness. Many men have served you with more ability than I have done.—( No, no.) None with purer or more disinterested motives.—( Applause.) In answer to all the calumnies which have been heaped upon me, I desire my countrymen to view me in the situation in which I stood before I entered office, and compare it with my present situation—they will then see that my motive was not to obtain anything for myself. I retire from office with the only reward, but certainly with the best I could possibly receive—the confidence and good will of those before whose attention my conduct has passed. I have had many expressions of this good will, but I can assure you with the utmost truth and sincerity, they have come from none from whom they could have carried greater honour or have been re ceived with greater pride by me, than from the present nume rous and respectable assembly who have not only been ac quainted with my public conduct but also with my private life. It has been said that I have served the public half a century; it was in the year 1786 when I was first returned the represen tative of the county of Northumberland. A period of 48 years has since elapsed, of which period something less than 5 years have been spent in office. I retire with that best reward, the approbation of'my countrymen. Ido not enjoy any other of which any living man has a right complain.—( Hear.) Here I might expatiate at great length, but I really feel so much overpowered by your kindness, so grateful for the honour you have done me, that I am unable to proceed. ( His Lordship appeared here to be much affected.) Take, gentlemen as an excuse for all my deficiencies my sincere and lasting thanks to you, which I offer to those gentlemen who presented these ad dresses, and to you, gentlemen, by whom they have been so favourably received.--( Immense cheering followed the conclu sion of his Lordship's address, and continued for some time.) A call was then made for Lord Durham, when Mr. Garret proposed three cheers for his Lordship, which were given, and repeated with great enthusiasm. The Earl of DURHAM then rose and spoke as follows—lt seems to be generally your wish that I should address to you a few words on this most interesting, and to me most gratifying occasion ; and if I were not induced to do so by the feelings which have been excited in my breast by the flattering recep tion you have given to my noble relation, I should still feel bound to do so by the compliment you have now paid to myself. I assure you, that on no occasion in my public life have I been more gratified than at the present, where I have found justice done, not so much to my noble rela tion as to yourselves. You have proved to the world, that in spite of all the calumnies which have been heaped upon him even in this district--notwithstanding all the attempts which have been made to lower him in your estimation— you have seized the first opportunity to declare to the world your sense of his great merits, and your determination to show that at least you did not join in those calumnies.— ( Great applause.) I am also happy at this opportunity to address you, from the circumstance that there is not one word which has fallen from my noble relation, in which I do not heartily and cordially agree. I thank him as an individual, and as a man of public life, for the advice which he has given us. I shall take it and act upon it, and with as much patience and moderation as he wishes—( Hear, and applause)—but I will never lose sight of the end, namely, the attainment of all necessary reforms—l will not say the conserving but the pre serving of the rights of the people—that this country may be enabled to show its head foremost amongst the nations of the world, however high they may advance in the scale of civili zation. In the full sense of the advice he has given, I can readily make allowance for the difficulties in which he has been placed, both by the opposition of enemies and indiscre tion of friends ; and I may as readily state to you, and I am sure you will heartily agree with me, that whether or not he could have gone to a greater extent in the measures he has brought forward, he has nevertheless always had one object in view, namely, that of restoring the Constitution to its original purity and consistency.—( Great applause.) Gentlemen :—I ought to have apologised for having addressed you at this length on an occasion which refers not to me but to my noble relation—( Cries of " Go on, go on")—but there is one subject to which I will briefly advert, because lam unwil ling that the merit of a great measure, which belonged only to one individual, should be distributed to a number, even though I myself should form one of that number. My noble relation has disclaimed, with his characteristic modesty, the merit of passing the Reform Bill. I now openly state, as I have for merly said it behind his back, that that measure would never have been proposed, and I am sure it would never have been carried, had it not been for him.—( Great applause.) I own that I have been the ready and willing instrument of his wishes, hut had it not been for his determination, his energy, his confidence with the country, and his influence with his So vereign, without whose co-operation the measure could not have been enacted, all would have been ineffectual. Without his assistance, I believe in my consc i ence t h e R e f orm Bill would never have been proposed or enacted. To him, and to him alone, properly belongs the honour of this great mea sure ; and if laurels are to be placed on the heroes of Water loo or Trafalgar, those who have conquered our enemies by land and by sea—(A laugh at the Duke of Wellington) —I feel a great respect for the Duke of Wellington ; for however I may differ from him in political opi nions, still as a military commander he must be admit to stand pre-eminent ; but a brighter wreath should not be placed on the brow of Lord Nelson than ought to be justly wreathed round the temples of my Noble relation.—( Great applause.) Intimately connected with him as I am, lam well acquainted with those virtues of human nature which adorn his character, and of which he is the proudest example I have ever seen. I know there is no one connected with him by blood (I am only so by the ties of relationship, and those of affection and admiration), nor of his delighted country, who can be more gratified with the issue of this day's proceedings, or more anxious to tender to him the tribute of affection and esteem, than I am ; and I only hope that long years may be spared to him, in which he may be favoured with the respect, the love, and the admiration of his countrymen.—(lmmens cheering.) Three cheers were then given, and the meeting separated. The enthusiasm displayed by the people, both inside and outside of the hall, was great, and the Noble Earls departed for Lambton Castle, where it is understood Earl Grey was to remain for a few days, amidst the applause of a delighted mul titude. THE CORPORATION.-LORD WINCHILSEA.- On Saturday a special meeting of the Corporation was con vened, in order to prepare an address to be presented to the Earl of Winchilsea, in admiration of his principles, and the zeal and talents which he has uniformly displayed in the advo cacy of them. The High Sheriff, Sir R. Baker, in the chair. It was carried unanimously, That the Corporation at large should attend to present the address to the Earl of Winchilsea, and the meeting then terminated. A gentleman was sent to ascertain at what time Lord Winchil sea cou ld re ceive the address ; but it beingimpossible for his Lordship to remain in town, the Corporation will be under the necessity of transmitting it to him to England.—Saunders. Hops.—The season for picking is rapidly approach ing,. It is expected that if the weather continues as favour able as of late, the season will be pretty generally commenced in another fortnight. Those grounds which have not suf fered from blight, are fast recovering from the ravages of the vermin, and promise a fair crop. Where the plant was doing well a month ago, the crops will be very large. The , luty is still on the increase, and may now be quoted at 118,000/. Kentish Gazette. SUICIDE. —Yesterday morning, Mr. Geo. Harris, of No. 4, Stafford-place, Pimlico, was discovered in his bed room with his throat cut from ear to ear. It appears that the unfortunate young man recently held a situation in the United University Club, and was very much respected by its memberr. The cause assigned for his having destroyed himself is, that a young woman of the name of Ann Sims, who was pregnant by another man, had reported, during his temporary absence from London, that he was the father of her child, which, coupled with other circumstances, had induced his friends to turn their backs upon him. He appeared to be in excellent spirits on Monday. The deceased was a man of good abilities, and a contributor to several periodical publications. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. OXFORi) RACES, Aso UST 20.

The un fortunate gentleman was proceeding in his gig, accompanied by his groom, along Regent-street, when the animal, a re markably high couraged one, sudde n ly b ecame rest i ve , an d on Mr. W. cutting him sharply with his whip, the animal rata the wheels of the gig with tremendous violence against a coal waggon, heavily laden. Mr. Willis became dreadfully alarmed at the violence of the collision, and imprudently leaped out of the gig and fell on his head with great violence. The unfor tunate gentleman lay on the ground, apparently in a lifeless state, and on being taken up he w a s i mme di ate l y conveyed to Mr. Whittle's, surgeon, where he was bled, and afterwards removed in a coach to his residence. Mr. W. is upwards of sixty years of age, and has an amiable wife and four children. SUICIDE IN THE SERPENTINE RIVER.—On Tuesday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, Joseph Draper, private in the Bth co m p an y 2d b a t ta li on o f Cold stream Guards, was proceeding along the north bank of the Serpentine-river, when he observed a respectably-dressed fe male, apparently between twenty-three and twenty-four years of age, sitting on the grass near to the bridge, crying and seeming to be in great distress of mind. Suspecting that it was her intention to make away with herself, he watched her for a considerable time, and at last she got up and walked round on to the bridge ; she then looked anxiously round to see if any person was watching her, and supposing she was unobserved, took off her b onne t and knelt down, seemingly in earnest prayer. At this time the soldier, Draper, ran as quickly as he could towards her, but she perceived him before he could get on to the bridge, and starting up with precipita tion stepped on to the top of the curb of the balustrades, and then, waving her hand for him to keep back, she bent herself forwards over the water, and plunged headforemost in. She rose to the surface in a few seconds, but appeared to be quip insensible, and again sank without a struggle. Au alarb was instantly given at the receiving -house of the Royal Hu:- mane Society, and Mr. James Bauton, the keeper, directly rowed to the spot with the drags, and after the lapse of about 14 minutes, succeeded in bringinglioptsuial, pthehody. It was imme diately taken to St. George's w here every endeavour was used to produce resuscitation, but without effect, as the vital spark was quite extinct. Nothing was found about the person of the deceased which tends in any way to lead to the discovery of who she was, and the body now remains to be owned. An inquest will be held on it to day.
