The Mercury cutter Is a tender to the St. Vincent, now lying at Portsmouth, and she sailed from this port on Saturday last,. to take some supernumerary seamen for her Majesty's ship the Queen, now lying at Spithead for orders. The following is the account of the occur rence given by Captain Starlett, who is an acting second master in her Majesty's service :—On 'Wednesday last, the 2601 lust., the cutter was lying-to about thirty miles west of Lundy Island, under a close reef try--sail ;this storm jib, in a heavy sea, the wind blowing a gale from W.N.W., when a tremendous 4 - eit tOok her, which wash ed' away her main-sail, the companion and the boat off her deck, She went down on her beam-ends, and was immediately half filled with water. The bal. last in the hold was shifted,. and broke up the lower deck, and the whole of the creVv ; sik ((careen, who were on deck, were washed overboard, and tv. o of them were lost ; the other fVut recovered the ship. As soon as the confusion *calla admit, they set about cutting away the boom and the gear, working the pumps, and baling the water, and by these Meths the ship was righted. When they came to muster the hands they found that out of the twenty-two supernumerary sea men, who were below in the hold, together with Mr. Molesworth, mate of the Queen, and M.r.. Francis Peel, nephew of Sir Robert Peel, who Intil charge of the men— it was discovered that twO bi the unfortunate men were killed,-and six ethUs wounded, one of them having his right leg And left hip broken, and who is now in the in firmary. As soon as she was righted l the was put right before the wind, and fortunately made the Bristol Chan nel and anchored in rennarth Roads, about half-past five o'clock the lbllowing morning. They were proceed ing on to Bristol when they fell in With the Countess Petuhroke steamer, and were towed by her up to Bristol, where she arrived on last night's tide (Thursday). This afternoon an inquest was held on the bodies of the two supernumerary seamen, Alexander Mackay and Jatuos Reed—who are lying on board the cutter, in Cumberland-basin—before J. /1 Grindon, Esq., Coro ner fur this city. Mr. Montague Trevor Molesworth, mate of her Ma jesty's ship Queen, deposed to the above facts. Joseph Hollis, one of the supernumeraries, deposed that he and the other supernumeraries were lying down at the time of the occurrence, as the sea was too rough for them to stand up. - Mackay's (the deceased's) head was on witness's feet, and Reed was lying close by on the leeward side. He (witness) was the first to get out of the hold by the companion way, and in two or three minutes the cabin deck was forced up by the water tank, which was full of water, and by the-bars of pig iron, used as ballast, weighing about half a hundred weight each, and which were underneath the cabin floor. As soon as a light was procured they found Mackay dead and cold in amongst the ballast, and he afterwards saw Reed dead in the cabin. Joshua Newman, one of the seamen who was washed overboard, also described the accident ; and in reply to questions from the jury stated that he had been a sea man twenty years, and in his opinion no vessel was ever managed better. The witness also said he should never forget the conduct of Mr. Molesworth, to whom he thought the survivors were mainly= indebted for their safety. M. J. B. Prow se, surgeon to the Admiralty for the port, deposed to the death of the men being in all proba% bility caused by such occurrence as the witnesses dentribed. The Jury immediately returned a vertilet of " Acci dental Death." The recent dreadful weather naturally causes consi derable apprehension for the safety of other vessels, and several small craft have been picked tip disabled: A notice at the Commercial Rooms is the following t— " The Captain of the Billow reports having seen a vessel bottom upwards, and a large quantity of wreck bit the Foreland, near the Nays S'anils. I am sorry to say that the Shamroeky belonging to the Bristol General Steam Navigrtion Company, which sailed from Dublin on Tticsttay last, has not yet been heard of. Fier usual time is abbitt 26 hours, and she has now been out about 70 huiirs. It is hoped, however, that she may come up by this evening's tide. P.S.

The severity of the gale was such, that the fore-topsail, which was furled ; was blown out of the gaskets, and lost ; with the Initin4opsail also ; and the vessel springing a leak ; the Captain con sidered it prudent to bear up for IltiStol. The names of the men who were swept overboard were as follow Joseph Holmes, steward ; Thomas Abbott, second mate ; John Hoffman, seaman ; Wm, tint kmore, ditto; Alexander Colon, ;Vitt°. Captain Downes renkts 'having fallen in with a large vessel, bottom upwards, about five hours previous to the accident happening to his own ship. Ti: E SUAMROCE, BRISTOL AND DUBLIN & MAMM— A am sorry to inform you that serious apprehensions begin to be entertained for the safety of this vessel, which left Dublin on Tuesday, and was due at Bristol by Wednesday evening's tide. Up to the hour at which I now write, half-past twelve r,m., of Friday, no intelli gence whatever has been received of her. The Shamrock belongs tv the Bristol General Steaui Navigation Com pany, and is their finest packet. Her commander is csptain John Hyde, who is a first-rate seaman. Front the direction of the gale, blowing off the Irish coast, according to the accounts furnished in my former communication in the case of the Mer cury and the Mischief, there appears tery little pro bability of her having put into any of the Irish ports ; the only chance of her safety now appears to be her having become cripplkl, and thus left at the mercy of the waves in that case we may hear some thing of her from some port on the Welsh coast, Up to the present time the Company have received no letter whatever ; and from the subjoined, from Capt. Bailey, of the Star, bound for Cork, which left here on Tuesday titothing, it would-appear that nothing had been heard of the Shamrock at Miford up to that period. The fol-• lo w in g is a copy of the letter which was received by Messrs. Lunell and Co. this evening " Gentlemen---I take this opportunity to inform you that the Star steam-packet put into Milford on Wednes day morning, at ten o'clock, in a trehtendous gale of wind, with a heavy sea, We are lying at Pater, with two anchors down.

When the announcement was made to the 15th rtegiment at Woolwich, 'under the command of Lieut.- Colonel Lord Charles Wellesley, that men were wanted for this service, nearly two hundred expressed a desire to join the new regiment, but twenty only were per mitted to enrol their names for that service.

The lump afterwards fell in the bottom of -the boat and was broken to pieces. Mr. Evans and his men immediately landed, and endeavoured to ascertain who had thrown the coke, but were unsuccessful. They learned, however, that coke was burned in the Stamp= office, and Evans has no doubt that it came from that establishment. Had the coke struck him on the head, in all probability he would have been killed on the spot. Evans, who was on his way to Scotland-yard at the time, made a report of the circumstance to the Com missioners of Police.

MEMOIR OF THE LATE DUKE. " Nee temere, nec timide." Neither rashly nor timidly. Motto of the Vanes of Westmoreland. The late Duke and Marquis'of Cleveland came into possession of the Alarquisate by letters patent, dated Sept. 17, 1827, and to the Barony of Raby with the Dukedom of Cleveland in January, 1833, having beforehand succeeded to the Earldom, at the decease of his father in 1792. Among his ancestry, the late Duke numbered many forerunners of note and consequence. Claiming a common origin -with the Westmore land family, the head of whom we noticed but a few brief days ago at his decease, and who par took of many of the hearty qualities, and much of the exuberant benhontinie of the regretted nobleman whom we now obituarize, the de ceased William-Harry-Vane, dated the first hero of his pedigree to be the Sir Henry Vane who .was knighted for his valiant achievements at the celebrated battle of Poietierti. Young Henry Vane, who, with more stirring blood in his veins than prudence in his head, joined in Thomas Wyati's insurrection, and escaped only the doom of his comrades through the Royal pity ex tended towards his youth, was one of his pre decessors, whom he looked back upon with especial pleasures An acute and subtle poli tician) his ancestor, Sir Henry, in the reign of James the First, was - appointed cotterer of the Prince of Wales ) . and tinder the suc ceeding Monarch Was- Mated Secretary of State ihr life. This nobleman, however, did not sustain his proper nobility of character in regard to his conduc k ,toWards the unfortunate of Strafford, but exhibited a jealousy unworthy of his birth. Influenced by private pique, it is historically stated, that liceatise the Earl bad, upon his elvation to the Peerageytaken the title of Baron laby of Raby eastiv, tirharn, he took an active part in the prosecution of Strafford, Which, however, led to his subsequent disniissal by the of fended King: The neat fit Henry, Clarendon cha racteries as a person of " great natural parts, a quick conception, and of very ready, sharp, and weighty expression,"-,-so much so, we know, that iron-sided Cromwell wished the Lord to deliver him from this self- , same gentleman. In later times, the worthy conduct of the third Baron Henry, Met with its due appreciation at Court, and the Earldom of Darlington was then grafted on the family, The late Dttkt', Whom death has just overtaken, must be remembered by all in his younger days as the dashing Lord Darlington, whose sporting qualities tensed him to be considered the most promising fieldsman of the day, and by a name so well:known we ritall proceed to speak of him. Lord Darlington's rank and fortune having placed him early in life at the summit ) we may say ) of human life, he spared no expense in the splendour of his sporting establishment, in his Winds and stables, and he undoubtedly stood first on the roll of masters of foxhounds, keeping them upon their own resources; perhaps only that of the worn country exceeded his expendi 7 ture, Everything in Lord Darlington's stud was tnanttgtd with order and method : his coverts and his fences were constantly watched, and some estimate may be made of the expense be was at in Preserving foxes, by the single fact of his paying 3801. a year to his own tenants, in the Ruby country, for rent of coverts north of the river Tees. Lord Darlington's hounds were usually divided into two packs—one called the young, and the other the old pack, although of course there were some old hounds in the former. His Grace was fbnd of large hounds, and he succeeded in breeding them up to the top of the standard— bigger, indeed, on his own admission, than any his country requires. The speed of these, how ever, with a scent, was quite proportionate to their size; their speed was undisputed, nay, were allowed by all to be the speediest in England. Sir Bellingham Graham used to say that he never hunted with a finer pack; brighter-skinned hounds-perhaps were never beheld. Lord Darlington used to relate a singular anec dote of the instinct of a fox-hound. In his fa ther's lifetime a hound called Gleaner was sent from Yorkshire to the then. Duke of Bolton, near Basingstoke, in Hampshire, and in the almost incredible space of 00 hours he was back at his kennel in Yorkshire. Lord Cleveland abounded in a rich fund of anecdote, and like most of the Westniorlands, had about him none of that hauteur which make the aristocracy 6d hateful. Itaby, Lady Cleveland's horse, was a beautiful animal, fifteen hands three inches high, bright bay with black legs; and if he had been bespoken for the purpose he could not have been more complete. Her Ladyship rode him many a season without his ever having given her a fall, and she customarily rewarded him for his care of her, by visiting him almost every day in the winter, and giving him some plum bread. The Marchioness of Cleve land has been always esteemed a most graceful horsewoman, and handled her reins with dexte rity and figure. Lady Augusta and Lady Ara bella Vane .are excellent.sportswomen, and their best description is afforded in their father's own book, where he represents " the two sisters vying I with each other over a deep and strong country', in one of his best runs." The stables at Itaby were calculated to hold about thirty hunters, besides coach horses. Such a thing as a back was never to be seen at Raby. Everything there went a hunting or in harness. His Lordship's courteousness to ladies was ex- hibited in this instance: A hunter was going off to be put to the hammer at London "I am sell ing that horse," observed the Duke ) " solely to oblige the ladies; a better hunter (continued his Lordship), no man need ride, but he put his foot into a grip one day with my boy, and came down, which the ladies attributed to his having only one eye. But he must go now," " Pray my Lord," said a fellow sportsman, walking out with him through his'grounds, "is not you kennel here very near the house? Does not the savour of the boiler sometimes find its way into the drawing-room ?" "It may," re joined his Lordship, "but we are too well-bred for fox-hunting to Wind thao Dick, his Lordship's whipper-hi wasill. "have you heard how Dick i 5 2.4 said a friend. " I have been to his bedside,' said Lord D., he has had a restless night; nevertheless; I hope he will do well, but he made Inc ttille 'Mitt' 110 gait!, he had ;w doubt but he should be able to go out with the hotinds on 'Wednesday !

The Duke, ever since he began to keep fox hounds, namely, when plain Dar] Of Darlington, was daily in the habit of sitting dciWn j after every art4e4tetinOie prodeedings of the This his Lordship did in a style peculiar to himself; and in good language. At the, eltif the sYtt?..dti -thiA *olume was printed, and sot for tbe . bqiefit of a - faitheul servant, Seven years httveifi;low elapsed since his Lord ship was actively ehgaged . , in the field. Owing to the advanced life of his Grace, he gave up his sporting pursuits in 1835, at which time the celebrated pack of hounds, called after his name, were divided between himselfand his son-in-law, Mark Milbank, Esq., and the country was sub divided between them at the same time for sport. Lord Cleveland was a sportsman, in the real acceptation of that comprehen s i ve t e rm—not one of your battue gentlemen, crawling out when +l , day is far spent, with umbrellas and goloshes, but a doWnright practical sportsman of the old s chool, ready for all winds and weathers. For thirty-eight seasons uninterruptedly, and with high reputation to himself and the sportsmen who hunted with him, he went through an un- Otampled course of fine-spirited fields and chases. His Lordship, in addition, was not an illiterate man, or one of the mere Squire Westerns of the day, but a man of cultivated acquirement. 14c spent his summers on the Continent, and had a turn for the polite arts. The fine Old stronghold of Raby Castle was his Grace's chief and favourite seat. This air" cient fortress and mansion was in the first in stance in the tenantcy of the Nevilles of West moreland, but was forfeited by them in the tune of Elizabeth, for the. rebellious part taken by Earl Charles. The Vanes then came into pos session, either by purchase or grant from the Crown. Those who have visited the Duke at Itaby can welt attest the magnificent aspect of the castle and its domains, which combine in themselves architecture of the Anglo-Saxon times, and the richest improvements of the present day. The Duke took a pride in adorning these ancestral halls, and many alterations, perhaps absolutely necessarily to conform- it to the modernized tastes of the day, were undertaken under his supervi sion and command. His father made the en trance leading to the hail. This hall is uncom monly grand; the roof is groined and sup ported by columns • at one end is flight of steps leading to the presence chamber, music-room, billiard-room, &c.: over this is that spacious apartment in which the ancient festivals were held, and 700 knights, who held of the Nevilles, are re corded to have been entertained at one time The very kitchen is a curiosity, having narrow passes cut out in the massive walls, through which provisions were conveyed to the banquet. The present Countess of Darlington has taken especial delight in ornamenting hilly Castle ; and the object of her peculiar care has bz:ez to enrich the very curious museum of natural luis tory, which has been collected with great skill and attention, and to which the late Duke's sporting propensities added in many cases ma terially. The Duke's riding and hunting stables, erected by him a few years back on a most extensive scale, though they will now stand only as sad mementos to those who remain behind him, deserve particular notice from guests, as they were his Grace's greatest pride. The park and pleasure grounds in which they are situated, together with the new plantations formed by the noble owner, correspond in their beauty and ex tent to the dignity of the castle. On the estate also is an extensive farm, to which his Grace devoted much of his atten tion, and which always afforded a fine specimen of his agricultural and sporting tastes. His Grace of Cleveland married twice, viz., in 1787, the second daughter of the sixth and last Duke of Bolton; and subsequently after her de cease, the daughter of Robert Russell, Esq., of Newton-house, Yorkshire. His son and heir, Henry, Earl of Darlington, who is a Lieutenant- Colonel in the army, and has been in Parlia ment for various boroughs for twenty years, and is one of the present Tory Members for South Shropshire, succeeds to his father's title and estates. The late Duke was a Liberal in politics. LECTURES ON AMERICA AND THE AMERICANS. • .(From the Exeter Flying Post.) Mr, Buckingham's courses of lectures in this city, descriptive of a voyage along the shores of the Medi terranean Sea, on Palestine, and America, are now concluded, and that gentleman has taken his leave of us, but we hope only for the present, since no one, we think, who has attended the Athenmum during the de livery of these can fail to be impressed with a convic tion of the superiority of talent he possesses, and that he is eminently. calculated to smooth down the asperi ties of our nature—to root out prejudice—and to do good. With Mr, Buckingham the religious sentiment is con nected with the most valuable truths. He intertwines our best affections with the noblest acquisitions and highest aspirations of the human mind, and hence his lectures confer an amount of benefit on his fellow eNatures, such as it is not easy fully to estimate. Indeed the course he is purstling--and we trust for the sake of all will yet many years be permitted to pursue—will do more to promote the social and individual well-being of Man than is likely to be done in any other way. In all that he says—be the subject what it may—he never fails to show us that thougfh religion has been perverted and abused—turned from its hest purpose, and sometimes di rected to its worst end—yet that religion itself, in its truth and essence, is one of the necessities of our oilt::Fe• Of the two first courses we s p o k e a t the time, as far as our _ space would admit, and last week briefly introduced to our readers the first lecture of the course on America. This was continued on successive evenings before the most respectable audiences, and brought to a close, amidst- the plaudits of his instructed and delighted hearers, on Saturday. To follow this singularly gifted man in detail through these—though most pleasant in itself—would -be travelling beyond the province of a newspaper, but we must be allowed to say of a country in which no Englishman can fail to take great interest. that Mr. Buckingham gave proofs of prosperity and future greatness in the revenue and population of the United States, such as few indeed of the older countries can pro duce. That the Americans are proud of these can excite no wonder, since in them is not only the promise of happi ness and power, but also of that full degree of freedom with which they Will be accompanied. In that country,'in deed, has been solved that great political problem — namely, the possibility of liberty to so great an extent being compatible with union andorder. Mr. Buckingham, with the greatest candou r , soug ht no t to conceal defects, but he reminded his hearers that America is as yet but young. He admitted th a t at p re sent there is a counter balance to the sum of lib e rty, but he also showed that this is neither likely to lead to disunion nor dis organization ; indeed, so far otherwise, that there is even in these the promise of future exultation. In speak ing on this head, he remarked that it had been charged on the Federation that it is fraught with the prin ciple of disunion ; and far was he from affecting to deny it. But he contended that this is no reproach to a republic, the greatest bond of union probably in which consists in the very looseness of it, and in the li berty enjoyed locally bi each State. He also rema rked that it had been allege that in America religion is not permitted to occupy its p ro p er place. It had been charged upon that country that it has no established church ; that no state provision is there made for eccle siastics. And this was very true, since in America there is a perfect liberty of opinion, leaving flock and pastor to choose each other mutually, and to take the path upon which both may agree. This, hoWever,. was only an other phenomenon, and the evidence of his own eyes and senses had taught him that so far from there being any danger that religion will perish there, and general immorality ensue, there is no country on earth in which religion is more thought of and carefully cared for, or in which the religious feeling more strongly abounds. On the great question of the holding of slaves, which exists in the Southern States, Mr. Buckingham admitted that it is the cause of party as well as territorial division, but he is not among those who believe the integrity of the Union to be menaced by it. It is undoubtedly the greatest blemish, as also the most menacing source of future evil to a free country, but the question having now put on this com plexion even with the slave-holders themselves, that while fancied ideas about self-preservation are placed in one scale, justice is allowed to seat itself in the other, he thinks that by and by it will be settled on con ditions alike philanthropic and honourable. On the sub je.;t of the treatment of these our unfortunate fellow beings, his observations must-have gone far to disabuse the minds of his hearers. In tine, with an accurate and discerning mind, and in a •spirit of candour honourable to humanity, he showed, that though not destitute of im perfections and blemishes, yet that .in a vast territory bounded by the Mississippi on the one, hand, and the St. Lawrence on the other, all the purposes or mim 4 ,i r.SO - ciatitm have, up to this time , bee n effectuall y accom p lished, and at a cost that contrasts stron g l y with the expendi ture of the older European Powers. sn £. • d.

" I will not change my horse with any that treads upon four p as t erns . die bounds from the earth as if his entrails were hairs. Whm I bestride him I sear ! I am a hawk He trots the air : the earth sings when he touches it. lie is a subject for a Sovereign to reason oc, and for a Sovereign's Sovereign to ride on !" Ditcrozv's favourite passage. With the exception of Philip and John, the two Astleys, equestrian annals cannot, we be lieve, furnish a finer instance of a more consum mate horseman than the late Mr. Ducrow. Those who are familiar with the feats of this description, which are recorded in ancient pages. as having been performed by the Centaurs of Thessaly—the horsemen in the Campus Martins at Rome—the equestrian heroes of Olympic days—and, at a later period, the Arabs of the desert—have, witnessing his performance, unequivocally acknowledged that the former however marvellous, found themselves altoo-e -ther surpassed in the perfect and masterly powers of skill and display exhibited by Mr. • Ducrow in handling the reins, taming his steeds, and managing them with a control as absolute as it was extraordinary. The father of the deceased was a Dutchman, who, at the beginning of the present century, came over to this country exhibiting as a gymnas tic performer, and expert in feats oAtrength. It is related, as an instance of his muscular powers, that he could lift by his mouth a round table on which a child stood, and so remain for several minutes. He performed for some time under old - Philip Astley. Andrew Ducrow, his son, was remarkable in his younger years rather for cle verness than industry. His first essays in the equestrian line were at Astley's and the Surrey . Circus ; he then performed at Franconi's in Pa ris, and having realise d sonic money there, re turned to Astley's, wh ere, it is said his feats were not at first much esteemed, the novelty of ;is new style of riding not being understood snf ticiera:!s' well to be appreciated. At Paris lie subseqaena j 'r purchased a stud, and visited in succession with fit. Rome, Italy, and the Alps. On his return to ''• hand lie was engaged at. Drury-lane Theatre to a prominent part in the " Cataract of the Cr.:!'Zes," a piece which then attracted the public ,z_reatly, and was brought out in opposition to Th, - ; , wr the Tartar," then produced by Elliston at Cov".!'nt Garden. Davis, who was then lessor or Astley's, saw, and was struck by his talent, fearing him as a rival, engaged him for a season. At the expiration of this time, Davis being unwilling to renew the lease on the tern - A proposed, gave up the theatre, when Ducrow. joined in cospart nership with Mr. West, a wealthy gentleman - from America, and under their united conduct the Amphitheatre opened afresh. At this period I the celebrated pieces of the " Battle of Water - . loo," the " Burning of Moscow," and " Ma zeppa," first appeared before the public ; the two former were got up for representation by Mr. Amherst, who is said to have been a natural son of Lord Amherst, the Ambassador to China. After a run of successful seasons, Mr. West having realised, in common with Mr. Ducrow, a very considerable fortune, retired to Devonshire, leaving his son thereafter to co•operate with Mr. Ducrow at the theatre. In justice to Mr. Ducrow it should be stated that everything new and novel in the ring was solely the production of his own active miad, which was always fertile in its peculiar line. The date at which Mr. Ducrow entered into copartnership with Mr. West, was shortly after the winter of 1822-23, when he took Astley's for the exhibition of his stud, Mr. Charles Dibdin then retiring from the concern, having suffered a loss of about 1,400/. during fourteen weeks' management. Mr. Ducrow took it at a rental of 1,400/. per annum. During the last. year the rental was 2,200/. Mr.•Ducrow's most celebrated and best acts of horsemanship were the " Moor defending- his Standard," a " Tar's Vicissitudes," the -" Courier of St. Petersburgh," the " Wild Indian," the "Peruvian," the " Tyrolien Shepherd, and Swiss. Milkmaid," which last character was performed on all occasions by Miss Woolford, who, indeed, before she became Mrs. Ducrow, was for a long time the chief attraction of his theatre, and drew crowds by the accustomed gracefulness of her action and the skilful management of her steed. The deceased has two children by her. Miss Woolford was very early a debutaate at Astley's, and many theatrical people of about thirty years' standing will remember her at the Amphitheatre under Astley's management as a little girl with a long crop, and of intelligeiu. iad pretty manner. She had two brothers also at tht3 same time with her on the stage, who have since disci America; she bears an amiable and good:charac::'r ; her age is about 27, and she had been married to Ducrow about tbur years. Ducrow, when he first to this country. designated himself by the foreies title of "Mon signor," but this he dropped in late years ; his voice, however, which was always characterized by a peculiar tone, bore testimony to his fore;:u extraction to the last. Of Ducrow's favourite horses, one in particular attended him throughout the hole of his career, Ind was called by the unpoetical name of John Lump. This faithful animal, now superannu ated, has gone down to die in peace at a farm at Harrow; it was originally purchased at Bath, and was always prized by Ducrow for its mus cular power and steadiness of action. Mr. Ducrow's first wife, Margaret, was, we believe, born at Liverpool, and at the time of her death was about 38 years of age; a monument was erected to her by Mr. Ducrow, at Kensal green, where she is buried, and where one will also be built over himself. Ducrow's brother, long known at the Amphitheatre as one of the best clowns in the metropolis, lies interred along with the deceased equestrian's father in Lam beth Churchyard. Ducrow was in person about five feet eight, and of a well-developed form, but slight : his countenance was expressive on the stage,—there was decision about the mouth, and the nose was prominent. A friend of the deceased actor's at Lambeth, who possesses a wax model of him, con iders him to have borne a very strong likeness, as far as mere appearances were concerned, to Kean. It is well known that a long intimacy existed between them ; they interchanged constant visits, and Ducrow attended the funeral of his friend at Richmond. Danson, who was long scene-painter at the Amphitheatre, and who coloured the scenery of the last Covent-garden pantomime, has produced a painting of him, whict: is, we believe, in the possession of Mrs. DucroW, and from which woodcuts have already appeared. One of the most spirited lithographs, and we believe the only one of any of Mr. 1rucr0".".: ,5 equestrian performances, is in the possession of, and now on sale at, Mr. Miller's, adjoining the theatre which was the scene of his extraordinary performances for nearly twenty years. It repre sents Ducrow as Charles the Second, on his fa mous horse Bucephalus, in one of its most ani mated positions. STATE OF THE HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES. There is, as yet, no improvement in the de mand in any of the numerous branches of the hosiery or the lace trades; in fact, if we are to believe the workmen, the demand is decreasing, instead of increasing. This state of things ex tends equally to silk, cotton, or worsted hosiery, in the latter of which there is nothing, in any part of the world, in the shape of competition ; yet the distress at Leicester is such, that the po pulation are begging in mobs of 200 or 300. We are pained to state, that the silk warp blond hands, who have been advanced in their wages by one house for some months, have been again reduced the eighth of .their wages. At the same time, blond nets have been lowered in the market considerably, as the rest of the ma nufacturers absolutely refused to advance the wages. The excitement in the villages still continues respecting the abatement of the price formaking cotton hose., The damage done to the frame at Westhorpe, 'it appears, was not very serious, aqua-fortis having been poured upon the needles and sinkers during the night. The needles, in most cases, are rendered unfit for work ; but the sinkers will, most of them, be made to work again, after the roughness is taken off. A meet ing of deputies, from about twelve of the was held on Monday, who came to the determi nation of resisting the reduction. A list of prices given by the other houses in the trade, has been presented to the house in question, which they object to, on the ground that the document only states, those that are giving a high price, and not those that are giving low prices, and conse quently it is not satisfactory. In the meanwhile, some of the villages, such as Arnold, in which about 800 frames are employed, are in a state of ()Tea t excitement , and some acts of violence a n d 7 , Insubordination have occurred.—.Arnttinghant Re view. MURDER OF MICHAEL MUNSTER.—We understand that Mr. Robert F a i r , w h o h as actively exerte d himself to discover the perpetrators of this bar barous murder, has received information positively fixing t he guilt upon the wife of the murdered man, and on Flannery, to whom she was about to be married when her husband returned from America. Flannery is in prison undergoing punishment for an assault, and his ac complice is alto in custody, though she has not yet been tronSraitted to the empty gßol,--11fayo Constitution, ThE LEVANT MAIL. We have received Malta letters and papers to the 15th Inc, and advices from Constantinople to the Bth, Smyrna 10th, and Alexandria 2d. 'The news they contain is not of striking interest. The. Malta Chronicle of the 11th inst. gives the sub joined account of a storm experienced in that port : " Yesterday morning at eight o'clock, Valletta was Vigited by a tornado which lastpd half an hour. For about ten minutes the weather was truly awful ; the wind blew in terrific blasts, the rain poured down in torrents, the size of the hail-stones rendered them de structive missiles, and the peals of thunder were quite deafening. No damage of consequence was, however, sustained by the ships in port, though the Ganges, by a sudden shift of wind from N.E. •to W.S.W., was nearly thrown on .her beam ends. She heeled over 5 deg., her larboard lower deck guns run themselves out, and heavy seas rolled themselves in at her weather ports. A number of hammocks were blown overboard by the violence of the wind, and some few were riddled by the hail. The ensign and jack-staff were carried away, and Picked up at some distance from the vessel. The anchor was turned over, and the sea completely discoloured by the disturbed mud. The Howe also felt the gale, and the Impregnable heeled over greatly. The Ceylon, from having everything snug before, rode it out most admir ably. On shore several disasters are reported. One of the windmills on the bastions overlooking the Quaran tine Harbour was blown down, and the Mandaraggio, a lowly situated part of the town, chiefly inhabited by the most indigent classes, was nearly under water, but as it happened by daylight, we have heard of no loss of life." We Lind the following in the Malta Chronicle :---" The Cyclops took her departure from Trieste on thelith with Sir Stratford Canning, who remained there two - days. Between that clay and the 29th we have no intel ligence of her, but on the latter day Sir Stratford Can ning landed at Corinth, and proceeded to Nauplia and Athens, to one of which places the Cyclops would go round, and take him on board. If not detained long at Constantinople, she may be expected here about the end of the present, or beginning of the ensuing week. We have been favoured with the following authentic particulars of a sad occurrence on the day preceding her departure from Trieste, which threw a gloom over every one during the few remaining hours of her stay:—` On the night of the 16th, Mr. G. P. Stewart, chief engineer of the Cyclops, while waiting of the dark fur a boat, fell into the sea_ front the Mole, and was drowned, though submerged little more titan live minutes. It is generally believed that he was tripped up by some of the chain-cables which are most improperly allowed to cross the several stairs on the Mole. Mr. Stewart had been dining with some friends on shore, and was encumbered with a thick great-coat, which probably prevented his swimming. When found, his hands were still in the c ,;41,-pockets, and there was a very great contusion on his shoutu..7rs from the rocks. Most probably the back of his head also struck at the same time. He was a uni- versal favourite, on account of the mild and amiable man ners and respectable; conduct for which he was distin guished; and there could :!ot have been a more zealous and skilful officer of his class; so that his loss is something more than a private one, though he has left a wife and s „ in addition to many survivinc , As the ship wag to leave Trieste at night, Se funeral was or dered for two o'clock on the 17th, and to mark the-well earned respect for the leceased, he was buried on shore, with all the honours of a coi7nalissioned officer; the offi cers of the Cyclops, the British 17-jce-Consul, Mr. Fon blanque. British Consul-General in Syria (who took ills passage in the Cyclops from Malta), and selreral British and American merchants, followed the body. Captain Austin, C. 8., was the chief mourner, and the Rev. Air. Yelvcrton, the resident chaplain at Trieste, read the ftt= neral service in a most impressive manner. Until this sad centre-coup took place, the Cyclops had been the scene of constant festivity, and several thousands of per . sons of every rank visited her, and were delighted with the ship, and with the attentions extended to them all by the Captain_ and the officers. The British merchant; (who are-of a highly respectable class) were all grati fied at the Triestini having such a sample of our Queen's pennant." A correspondent of the Malta Times writes from Alexandria, on the 2d instant :—" We hear that Mo hammed Ali purposes procuring negroes to fill up the ' want of Arab sailors in his navy. This does not coin cide with the promises made by him to Dr. Dowring and Colonel Campbell of his purposing to put a stop to the slave-trade in these parts. The excuse, of course, is that the time has not yet come—that the Egyptians are not civilised sufficiently to permit such an act being car ried into force—and that he must first ask the divine pleasure of his master, the Sultan. Government has abolished the circulation of certain Constantinople coins; still to some of its employes it has paid their stipends in such money. The Paella appears to be about paying part of his tribute to the Sultan. This must be the cause of the late changes in the monetary system in this country." The Malta Times says, under head of the Levant— " The bruises and the Maronites, by the latest advises from from Beyrout, had suspended hostilities. The .ot ' tonma Envoy, on a special mission, was well received, and it was expected that order would he permanently established." A letter from Beyrout, 29th ult., in the Smyrna Jour nal, says ;—" Our town has been in an extraordinary state of excitement since the arrival of the Seraskier, Mustapha Paella ; but the means he intends to employ for tranquillizing the people of the Lebanon have not transpired. A week before the coining of the Seraskier, Selim Pacha assembled at Beyrout the Sheiks of the Druses and Marmites, with the intent of forming a divan, at which the two parties might be reconciled. Tho Druses showed distrust, and would not comply with the summons until they were assured by the Consuls ofFrance, England,and Russia, that their persons should be respected. - One Sheik alone, the famous Aboa Neked, one of the fi r ;!. leaders of the conspiracy of Dair el Kamer, fled to the mointains. At this divan, as at the beginning of the contest, Mien the troops sent to restore order might, have arrived in time to prevent the with less liesita,`.`QP , the authorities have not known events which ensue:; how to combine sufficient: ;'nergy and prudence for bring ing about a reconciliation, ti;:d the task is reserved for Seraskier." The Malta Times in its naval news ,:s.q.3's We.learn from Constantinople, 27th ult., that the English brig Georgiana, Capt. Reid, bound to England wit a cargo of wheat, is totally lost in the false entrance to the b: isoo rus—the captain, his wife, and crew saved; and the 1 , 25 - lish brig Edenbank, Capt. Lama, bound to the Black Sea in ballast—crew saved. On Friday last the staffofficers and detachments'of the Royal artillery and Royal engineers, lately returned from the Levant, received pratique. The former proceeded to England—the latter moved into bar racks at forts St. Elmo and St. Angelo. Before leaving Syria the officers had the melancholy satisfaction of wit nessing the completion of a tablet, which they erected in the Protestant burial ground at Beyrout, over the grave of a late much esteemed and lamented friend, and commanding officer, Colonel Bridgeman, thus perform ing the last tribute of 'respect to that gallant officer and excellent man. The. tablet was prepared at Malta, and bears the following inscription : " E. 11. BllIl)GEMAN, COLONEL COMMANDING lira MAJESTY'S TROOPS IN SYRIA, DIED AT DEYROUT, 23D APRIL, 1841.. . In testimony of their respect and regard, the officers, who had served under his orders, erected this tablet to his memory." Extract of a letter from Constantinople, Bth inst. of the Malta Times :—" You can have no idea how popular our new Vizier is becoming. Disdaining the trammels of a pseudo civilisation, which has in point of fact hitherto consisted chiefly of d 1 inking wine and learning to waltz, he has taken to distributing justice in the old Turkish fashion. lie goes about in disguise, and whenever he catches a butcher, baker, or other tradesman poisoning the public by the sale of bad provisions, or cheating theii: by exacting undue prices, woe betide the wretch : The Vizier leaves his mark upon him to a cer tainty. The ‘?tlier day lie fell in with a baker who was really crusty, being dwidedly a bad bred fellow ; he said more than lie needed—he had his reward. One of his own loaves was hammered into his mouth, to the no small damage of teeth and cheeks. Other tripping tradesmen have also met with punishment deemed equally appropriate. The Constantinople world, offenders ex cepted, applaud the justice of their new chief. He has further recommended the `ridja i s ' to cut down their enormous expenses, to ride on one horse instead of step small kaiek- w i t h three boatmen, instead of a lar g e one ping into a carriag e drawn b y two or four ; to use a with nine, and so forth. This is very prudent, for how could the gentlemen possibly be honest if compelled by the usage of their rank to spend twice as much as they receive from the Government ? He even offered to cut down his own salary to one-halt's so did Tahir Pacha and the Shiek ul Islam, but their Oh‘fqs were rejected as uncalled-for." In the Constantinople correspondence o! the Bth inst., of the Smyrna Journal, we find the following -7" During the current week there have been frequent CoCucas at the Porte, the principal objects of which were the i2.;Lrer ent questions of internal policy known to have oceupil'd the Government for some time past. In an extraordi nary Council held on the sth inst., under the presidency of the Grand Vizier, and which was attended, not only by the Ministers, but all the higher functionaries, the matters which were weighed with the most an xious solicitude were the state of Syria, and the military organization of the Empire. After this, the Council took into consideration a note presented to the Porte by the French Minister, relative to certain essential points which that Power is desirous of having cleared up. NVe entertain no doubt that the relations between Turkey and France, which, in consequence of the late events, have been under some restraint, will resume the charac ter of friendship and harmony which had from time im memorial subsisted between the two countries. The Russian war-steamer Polar Star, which has been for a long time at anchor off the Palace of Topkapou, took her departure this morning for Odessa with dispatches from the Russian mission. By order of Tahir Pacha, the Grand Admiral, the balls, which have been annually given at the places of public entertainment at Pere, are forbidden. This measure has been received with great satisfaction, particularly by fathers of families, in conse quence of the opportunity afforded by these meetings for excessive gambling, by which many youths have been ruined." Under the head of Tunis the Malta Times says : " Advices from Sfax inform us that the duty on tobacco is reduced from three to one piastre per rotolo (pound). This is considered a great benefit for the population. During the last summer the whole tribe of Nael, con sisting of 10,000 persons, emigrated from Tripoli to Tunis, being driven by famine into the Tunisian terri tory. They commit some depredations, and are nut suffi ciently checked by the Government. An address to Sir Thomas Reade, British Consul-General at Tunis, has been presented to him from the principal merchants of that place, thanking him for his exertions in defence of the oppressed, and especially for putting down the slave trade in that district. A letter from Tripoli, 30th ult., in the Malta 2'imes, says that there was at fiat moment a Turkish schooner in the port, destined for Smyrna, with a large cargo of slaves. A Corfu letter. in the Malta Times confirms, by a very brief statement, the account of the recent distur bances there, but gives no new particulars. It says that the name of the American missionary was Rue'. EVENING SUN DUTCH MAIL. COPENHAGEN, JAN. I S.-- According --- to the,Swedish papers, the departure of the King was fixed t2l . the 18th of this month. His Majesty intended to open the Storthing, at Christiana, on Tuesday, Feb. 1.

It seems that i t is not y et decided how the several de partments of the Government will be divided among the Members who remain here. HADIBURGH, JAN. 21.—We are now so well ac customed to see our own city, and the Hanseatic cities in general, used as a mark for the attacks of the daily press in the States of the Customs Union, which have of late become remarkably loquacious, that we do not much wonder when a new adversary now and then starts up. The lj°st is that the gentlem en all agree, at least on one point, namely, in their ignorance of the subjet on which they write. HANOVER, JAN. 20.—1 t is generally reported here that the King of Russia, at his interview with our King at (Jthfresen, promised that on his return from London, he would pass some days here (from the Bth to the 12th or February, it is said).

It was intended that she should proceM tO China with the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir T. Cochrane bat whether such intention will now be carried out will Aep end entirely upon the state she is found to be in upon Oi.amination, and how long it will take to repair the damage She has sustained. The Warspite returned to Spithead on Tuesday even. ing Inst. Her powers of sailing are found to surpass even the most sanguine expectations of those who knew her of old, when as a 74 on the South American station, with the flag of Admiral Sir T. Baker, she was noted as a fast sailer, and made one of the quickest passages from Rio to this country on record. On Monday night, at eleven o'clock, she was in company with the Vindictive; off the South Foreland, and on the Tuesday morning she anchored at Spithead, while the Vindictive did not reach the offing until Tuesday afternoon, and was obliged to bring up there, the tide being against her and the wind having dropped. It was in removing from the anchorage to endeavour to reach Spithead on the following . morn ing that tfne unfortunately got on shore. The Warspite sails admirably, even in a moderate breeze, but it is when the wind is fresh that she displays her speed to the greatest advantage. It is considered by competent judges that few, if any, ships in our own, or any other service, can equal her. :She is now having her bulk bends fitted up to make the additional cabins necessary for the accommodation of Lord Ashburton and suite. The Hastings, 74, is nearly unrigged, and will be paid off to-Morrow. • The Queen, 110, is likely to remain at Spithead for three or four weeps longer, as she is still considerably short of her complement of hands, and it is expected it will take that time before she obtains the whole of them. A Mitch man-of-war is lying at the Motherbank. She saluted the British flag yesterday, and the compliment was returned by the St. Vincent, which hoisted the Dutch eolours at the tore. The Rhadamandins, steam troop-ship, sailed on Tues day for the Mediterranean, having on board a company of the Royal Sappers and Miners, under the command of Lieut. Ford, and a detachment of gunners and drivers of the Loral Artillery, under the command of Capt. Dunlop. She also takes out 50 boys for the Mediterranean squa dron, and has 30 women and 45 children on board, being the wiVes and families of the soldiers on board.

PLYMOUTH, JAN. 27.—This port has not escaped the visitation of the tremendous gale of Wednesday last., and it is feared that from the coast of Cornwall sad accounts are forthcoming of the effects of its violence. The Delight, 10, packet-brig, Liententant-Commander W ilium Lory, arrived here yesterday with the mail from Mexico. She intended to have put in at Falmouth, but was driven further ut) the Channel by the furious gale. The Delight has brought home, from Mexico, a quantity of specie for the merchants. She sailed from Falmouth fi - ir Mexico on the 17th of September last. The Spy, 3, Lieutet:Ant-Commander J. M. Potbury,. arrived here yesterday, icom Portsmouth. It blew such a hurricane the whole of the day, that to seeure her safety in the Sound, she was obliged to hoist a signal for an ad ditional anchor, which was supplied to her by the Tail lighter. Scarcely any boat could rest for a moroent in the water on her keel. 'The Implacable, 74, Captain E. Harvey, lately froze the Mediterranean, it is expected, will he paid off on Monday.

Baker,. the Coroner, at the London Hospital, on the body of James Bond, aged thirty-seven, of No. 1, Russia-lane, Mile-end. Abraham Andrews, police constable, 385 K, said that, on Monday evening last, he was on duty in Russia-lane, Mile-end, when he saw the deceased leaning for support upon the ledge of a parlour window. Seeing ' that he was extremely ill, he led - him to the station house, and sent fur Mr. Storey, surgeon. Deceased then, by the advice of the surgeon, was taken to the London Hospital. Witness then went to deceased's house, not far from where he had found him.
