There reigned a veritable panic yesterday amongst speed lators, which caused a fall of two francs in the French funds, and four in the Spanish. The cause of this reaction, of which there have been few examples for these two years, was a series of bad tidings from the frontiers of Spain, confirmed, as was said, by telegraphic despatches and messages addressed to the embassy. There was nothing less talked of than the defeat of Rodil, as he marched from Pampeluna, and the desertion of a corps of 400 men from his army, near Vittoria. It was furthermore said that General Harispe had received orders to enter Navarre. The more reserved utterers of tidings merely asserted that the principle of intervention was deter mined upon in the French Cabinet three days ago. ( From the Courrier Francais of Aug. 3.) It is a long time since the Bourse has been so agitated as to-day. The panic was not confined to the Spanish funds, but extended itself to the French, which experienced a consi derable fall. The two principal pieces of news were the de sertion of two regiments from Rodil, and the entrance of Ge neral Harispe into Spain ; one very improbable—the other . most absurd. FRENCH INTERVENTION IN SPAIN. ( From the Morning Chronicle.) We have just received from Madrid the following important c ommunication from our Correspondent in that capital ; and also the Gaceta de Madrid of the 27th and 28th July, and the Diario of the 28th of July. MADP.ID, JULY 28.—1 am enabled to acquaint'you that it was last night determined in council to demand from France the immediate execution of the treaty of the Quadruple Al liance, and the instant intervention of a French force for the defeat of Don Carlos. The order has, in consequence, been transmitted to the Due de Frias, at Paris, to make the requi sition of the French Government. " The decision will be prompt, in perfect unison with the wishes of the Spanish Cabinet. " I had foreseen the probability of this course for some days, and if you will refer to my letter from Ampoota, I believe you will find that I therein stated that every preparation had been made on the French frontier for immediate operations. " If Don Miguel be not yet landed in Catalonia, there is no doubt of his intention of quitting Genoa with that object, amply provided with money. " He will not find it difficult to effect a landing, as the fac tions in that quarter, although not in possession of the coast, can at any time, when he may be expected, make a diversion upon that point, and cover his landing. Their chief strength . is near Tortosa. " The Gazette contains an order for the costume of the Proceres. " Count Almadovar has been named Marshal-de-Camp. " Palafox, it is said, will be enlarged in a few days. Ge neral Van [fallen will be liberated also, but with an order to quit Spain forthwith, and for ever I Persons of lesser degree Will also be set at liberty, and the conspiracy will expire. " The Queen is at Riofrio, performing quarantine, before her return to Lagrange to join her daughters. (From the Diario de Avisos, Madrid, July 28.) ORDER OF THE 27TH JULY.

RICHTER 4.VD CO. 1834. This number is peculiarly fortunate in the choice of its subjects ; and while in many of the articles the hand of a master is visible, there is not one without its fair portion of interest and instruction. A complete edition of the works of Madame de Stael, in seventeen volumes, has given oc casion to the opening review, in which, whatever faults else may be attributed to the critic, he certainly has shown no want of admiration for his author. According to him, uni- versal opinion will admit of no female name in the first class of the eminent in art, literature, or science, or, if any, only that of Madame de Stael. Now the Baroness, whose ta lents were sufficiently multifarious, philosophized, criticized, and wrote novels and political essays, not to say a word of the metaphysics, which indeed formed the substratum of all her sayings and doings, whatever might be the topic. That she shaved talent in all these classes of composition, and genius at least in one, will hardly be disputed, but this by no means proves the sweeping dogma of the reviewer. As a novelist she is clearly not superior, and, we should say, far from equal to Maria Edgeworth. The critic, in deed, talks of some . of her fictitious characters being master pieces, and such they may be, but they are not creatures of this world. Seldom, if ever, does she paint that com pound character, that mixture of good and evil, of light and shade, of contradictory thoughts, feelings, and passions, which, melting and blending with the harmony of the colours of the rainbow, make up the human being ; in place of the complex whole she gives us fragments, indivi dual features, or at best plays the part of a dissector Of the human mind, demonstrating its modes of action rather than presenting it in action. As to her philosophy, we have the less occasion to say much on that score, as the critic him- : self. allows that it is not worth much ; and in regard to her criticism, the L'Allemagne was no doubt a valuable gift to the French, inasmuch as it broke up the national exclu siveness, and taught them, or rather hinted to them (for they are not yet quite persuaded of the fact), that there is an excellence differing from their own, not so much in de gree as in kind ; but its merit goes no farther ; it taught nothing either to England or Germany, and, far as she was in advance of her countrymen, it is sufficiently manifest that she had but an imperfect sense for the magnificent literature with which she was feebly grappling. As an in stance, her review of Faust shows no very intimate ac quaintance with the mere text, and no sympathy whatever with its spirit. Her fame must be built upon her poli tical essays, and there, with reference to the female world, she certainly shines without a rival. But this praise, we suspect, would hardly satisfy the reviewer ; he actually fancies her to have been an object of dread to the conqueror of Marengo, and observes that it is plain he regarded the former (Madame de Stael) as an unwelcome phenomenon, and that his " aversion was a mixed feeling, combining jealousy of the admiration which her talents created, with preconceived contempt for the intellects of her sex." This is sad nonsense. That Bonaparte, in whose calculating mind the love of order was predominant, con sidered her as a being removed from her proper sphere, and therefore to be looked upon with dislike, is probable enough ; and was she not out of her place ? Is the political world the fitting sphere of women ? More than this, it is sufficiently well known that Napoleon always swept away with a re lentless hand every obstacle to his course, whatever it might be, the highest or the lowest being in his eyes precisely the same the moment they crossed his path. But jealous ! Napoleon jealous of a talent he despised, in whatever per son it might be lodged ! Napoleon jealous of literary fame, who never could be taught to feel that there was any fame but that of the conqueror, and who acknowledged no genius but that which tended to the practical and useful ! No ! She flung herself in his path, and he brushed her off with as much indifference as the giant treads upon the beetle. The second article is an able and spirited notice of a work that will be read with universal interest—the Ger man Military History during the Sixteenth Century. It may be fairly said that the critic has repaid with no niggard hand the information he has received, though, when he alludes to the Cottonian MS. in the British Museum, it .would have been as well if he had used a little more preci sion in his reference. With no better direction than he has been pleased to give, the search of months might fail in digging out the cited letter from the mass of manuscripts, so imperfect are the Museum catalogues. But the most amusing article, though not the best written, is that on ,Alexander Dumas's Travelling Im pressions. Like the pedant of Hierocles, we will content ourselves with exhibiting a single brick as a specimen of the entire building : " The drama of Antony was acted before a numerous audience, and as has sometimes happened to that piece, in the midst of a very violent opposition. A merchant and his daughter were in a front box, and near him one of the enterprising authors I have mentioned. The father at first took a lively interest in the drama, but after the scene between Antony and the mistress of the inn, his enthusiasm manifestly cooled ; his daughter, on the contrary, had from that moment felt an increasing emotion, which in the last act burst into a passion of tears. When the curtain fell, the father, who had ex hibited visible signs of impatience during the last two acts per ceiving his daughter's tears, said, Bless me, what a stupid girl you must be to allow yourself to be affected by such utter nonsense.' " Ab, papa, it is not my fault,' replied the poor girl, quite ton fused, forgive me, I know that it is very ridiculous.' 4 " Ridiculous ! yes, ridiculous is the proper phrase • for my part, I cannot comprehend how any one could be interested bysuch monstrous improbabilities.' " Good heavens, papa! it is just because I find it so perfectly true.' " True, child! can you have paid any attention to the plot?' " I have not lost a single incident.' " Well—in the third act Anthony buys a post-chaise—is it not so?' " ' Yes ; I remember it.' '" And pays ready money down on the nail.' " I remember it very well.' " Well ; he never took a receipt for it.' "—pp. 72-75. Forty pages devoted to ten volumes, and those the Posthumous Works of Goethe, are a somewhat scanty allowance, even in these days of abridgment, when history itself has peaked and pined away into modest duodecimo. This is the more to be regretted, as the writer is evidently well able to do justice to his subject, and could, had he so pleased, have given us an able analysis of Goethe's genius as exhibited in these volumes, instead of a mere table of contents, mingled with a few brief comments. Such is not the way to treat the master-spirit of the age ; his faults, not less than his excellencies, ought to be thoroughly studied and understood : for they open up a new world of thought, and are destined one day to make as great a change in literature as ever was effected in Europe by 'the Crusades. That time, however, may yet be distant, for even to the English reader there is much - which by its novelty repels, while to the Frenchman it must for the pre sent be utterly unintelligible. Nothing, indeed, can be more erroneous than to suppose the human mind is at tracted by that which is absolutely new ; all that at once pleases does so by association, by its reference to, and its close connexion with, something already familiar and accepted ; we build and rebuild, but the ele ments of our architecture are the same, and were it to'be otherwise, were we to deviate from the accepted orders, the eye, so long habituated to other forms, would, for a time, at least, reject it. Even thus it is with the student of Goethe ; he finds another mode of feeling, thinking, and expressing ; a difference that results, not from language, but from a form of society and from habits totally at variance with his own, and hence it is that Schiller, who borrowed so largely from us, and is to a degree English in his feel ings, is infinitely more popular in this country. Even he, as he advanced in his career and grew more peculiarly Ger man, lost no small portion of our favour : his fame with us rests chiefly, if not entirely on his earliest and worst pro ductions. In the Popular Songs of Holland, that form the sub ject of the fourth article, we take no interest whatever ; we had even been rash enough to believe that the day of nur sery rhymes had gone by never to return, and are not par ticularly pleased in feeling so reasonable a hope disappointed. But it seems they have the extraordinary merit of being simple ; so is the prattle of a child—exceed ingly simple—and very proper to its age, as no doubt these ballads were to theirs ; but the world grows older and ought to grow wiser, and, so far from priding itself on the toys of its infancy, it should in all reason fling them aside as unworthy of its mature r understanding. With all due respect for the editor, who admires these things, and not less for the critic who adore s the admirer, we would fain ask where is the " infinite naivete," " the touching simplicity," of such lines as these ? " Joseph, he did leap and run Until an ass's foal he won, Whereon he set that maiden mild, And with her that most blessed child." To the " simplicity" we make ,no demur ; there 'is Per Cw PRICE OF a New Eng'ish Red Cloversoi. 56s 63.

Ships arrived since ' enough of that quality, and to spare ; but the "touching 1" well-a-day ! if this be the case, we do not despair of seeing an erudite and admiring review of that beautiful ballad, " Little 80-peep," as thus ; " with what a daring simpli city does the unknown author rush in medias res"—into the middle of his subject—though it is much to be doubted if he had ever heard of the Horatian precepts. No idle de lay, no superfluous prologue, in this exquisite song, but with a startling energy the poet at once dashes out with " Little 80-Peep has lost het sheep ;" and then the touch ing simplicity with which he paints the distress of the poor little girl !—" and cannot tell where to find them," &c. &c. The article on the French Conzmercial Policy is an admirable, though by no means a novel, expose of the pro hibition system. Indeed, it is hard for any man of talent to be thus wasting his time and energies in vain efforts to beat the first elements of political eco nomy into the heads of those who, like Illawworm, seem to pride themselves on their ignorance. Certes, Antmus must have been nothing more than an allegorical expression of this blessed system, which, do what you will, is not to be effectually overthrown ; you fell it to the ground with argument upon argument, but you cannot knock out its brains, seeing that it has none ; and, no sooner has it touched the earth, than up it starts again, and thrusts its huge jolter head in the face of its antagonist with a grin of unconquerable defiance. Time, however, will do its work with this, as it has done with so many other popular falla cies, and to time we leave it. The last paper, on the History of the Phoenicians and Carthaginians is an able abridgment of the existing know ledge on that subject. This, as every scholar well knows, does not amount to much ; while, in proportion to the pau city of facts, the field lies open to ingenious conjectures, and verily there is no lack of them. Amongst other cu rious morsels of information, we remember having read an essay by a Mr. Miles, which has apparently escaped the notice of the Reviewer. In this the author states that, in digging the earth on the Southern part of our coast, he has found various pieces of coal-money, which, he contends, were used in the Phoenician traffic with the Britons ; and, if his conjecture cannot be proved, at least it cannot be disproved,—a very sufficient ground for a staunch antiqua rian. The coins in question are pieces of coal, of the shape, and about twice the size, of a silver crown, with three or more shallow indentations, apparently made by some blunt tool. If they were not used for money, it is difficult to guess for what they could have been intended. There yet remain two articles unnoticed ; but we think enough has been said to prove the justice of our remark in the outset, that the subjects of review are, for the most part, well chosen and ably handled, and to go beyond this would manifestly exceed our limits.

PROMOTION.—By the abolition of the Palatine Courts, the High Sheriff of Cheshire succeeds to the office of hangman for the county, vice the Sheriff of the city of Chester. REPORT. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST .5, 1834 MR. WHITTLE HARVEY. The Select Committee appointed to inquire into all the cir cumstances attending the rejection of the claim by D. W. Harvey, Esq., to be called do the Bar, and to report their opinion thereupon to the House, and who were empowered to report from time to time to the House, have agreed to the following Report : Your Committee, in pursuance of the terms of their appoint ment, and the power given to them to send for persons, papers, and records, conceived they should best fulfil their duty by re quiring the attendance of the Treasurer of the Society of the Inner Temple, and calling for such evidence as the Benchers could furnish relative to the admission of Mr. Harvey as a member of that Inn of Court, his application to be called to the Bar, and the subsequent rejection of his claim. Your Committee were consequently attended twice by Mr. Martin, the Under-Treasurer, who, on the first occasion, pro duced before them the only two documents in the nature of evidence which the Treasurer had been able to find relating to the subject, which purported to be " shorthand-writers' reports" of the trials of the two causes, " Harvey v. Andrew," and " Frost tt. Harvey." . On inquiry as to whether the Benchers have preserved any record of the proofs given by Mr. Harvey, or of the testi mony of his witnesses, it appears that the office of the Society had been searched for the purpose of finding any, but that none whatever can be found, and it is to be observed that the document, intituled " Frost v. Harvey," is not complete, a part of it being torn off, and some pages are deficient. On his second attendance the Under-treasurer handed in a book containing a copy of the certificate transmitted by the Benchers to the Judges, and also the documents which will be found printed in " papers laid before the Committee." As connected with the course of procedure adopted by your Committee, they have to report that at the commencement of their inquiry they deemed it right to make a communication to the Benchers, inviting some person on their behalf to attend the investigation, but which was declined in a letter from the Treasurer, addressed to the Chairman, referring the attention of the Committee to the " statement" which had been pre pared by them to be submitted to the Judges, in case Mr. Har vey had thought fit to appeal against their last decision. Upon this subject your Committee have also to report that at an early stage of the inquiry an application was made to the Committee by Mr: Wilson, an attorney, of the Temple, stating himself to be the son-in-la w o f M r . Th omas A n d rew , the defendant in the above cause, and the attorney for Mr. Frost in the other before-mentioned action, expressing a desire to be present and attend the inquiry, to defend the character of his relative ; and he attended accordingly throughout the whole investigation—was furnished with the papers in the like manner as the Committee, and cross-examined Mr. Harvey's witnesses--called several witnesses himself—produced several papers,'which have been printed, and, at the close of the in quiry, addressed the Committee several hours upon the entire case, having before him all the papers, documents, and evidence to be found in the sixth Report of the Common Law Commissioners, and the papers submitted to the House by the Benchers of the Inner Temple, and ordered to be printed on the 3d of June, 1834. That it appearing to your Committee, from the certificate of the Benchers in 1822, and their statement prepared for the Judges, January 23, 1834, that the objections to Mr. Harvey's call to the Bar arose out of the transactions connected with two causes, " Frost v. Harvey," and " Harvey v. Andrew," your Committee determined to inquire into the particulars of each case separately, and for their guidance adopted the fol lowing Resoluticns, so that, by pursuing their investigation into the points thus brought under consideration, your Com mittee might be enabled to form an opinion upon the merits of each transaction, involving (according to the terms of their appointment) all the circumstances attending " the rejection" of Mr. Harvey's claim to be called to the Bar :- Ist. The Committee will, in the first instance, enter into the investigation of the charges which have been brought under the consideration of the Committee.-2d. The Committee will commence its investigation by examining into the evidence on which the Benchers refused to admit Mr. Harvey, and the proceedings thereon, and will then receive evidence to confirm, disprove, illustrate, or explain those charges. That in furtherance of the above Resolutions your Com mittee proceeded to define the precise nature 'or terms of the charges set forth by the Benchers in their "certificate" and "statement," before referred to, and which they did in the fol lowing terms :- Ist. As to " Harvey v. Andrew ;" 2d, as to " Frost v. Harvey ;" being the order in which they were considered by the Benchers of the Inner Temple. The charge in the case of " Harvey v. Andrew" was that Mr. Harvey had " fraudulently taken away a certain paper which was highly advantageous to the client of the defendant Andrew ;" in support of which imputation or charge the Benchers rely on the verdict given in this cause, and on the evidence and other matters furnished to them in a paper, pur porting to be taken from a shorthand-writer's notes of the trial, which report appears, from the evidence before us, to have been obtained from the defendant Andrew, and who, in its preparation, expunged most material evidence, and intro duced most prejudicial statements. That having thus ascertained the nature of the charge, and the evidence and matter in support of it, your Committee proceeded to investigate the transactions connected therewith, and the point for their consideration and determination was substantially to this effect :—." Whether Mr. Harvey did or did not fraudulently take away from the office of Thomas Andrew, the defendant, a certain paper which was highly ad vantageous to the client of the said Andrew, and which had been given for the arrangement of an action Rudkin v. Shel ley, in which Andrew was concerned for the plaintiff, and Harvey for the defendant ?" That the evidence adduced established the following facts, viz. : That the arrangement in question was proposed by Mr. Harvey, and that he employed every means to carry the same into effect, as well before as after the same is alleged to have been taken away. As it regards the action of " Harvey v. Andrew," the Com mittee, upon the most full and deliberate investigation of all the evidence now before them, have resolved— That Mr. Harvey did not purloin, or fraudulently take away the paper in question. And your Committee cannot entertain any doubt that the paper alluded to was not one highly or at all advantageous to the client of the said Andrew, but on the contrary, was a document highly advantageous to Mr. Har vey's client, and one which did not involve the personal respon sibility of Mr. Harvey in any respect ; and they are, from all the facts and circumstances, of opinion that Mr. Harvey has satisfactorily vindicated himself from the charge so made against him as arising from the result of the cause of " Harvey v. Andrew." Your Committee next entered upon an inquiry into the cause of 4 , Frost v. Harvey," the ground of which action is stated by the Benchers to be, that Frost had, in the year 1809, employed Mr. Harvey to sell an estate for him, that it had been sold for 9501. to a Mr. Skingley, 4501... of which was for Miss Frost, his sister, and 5001. for himself. - That Skingley had, with Frost's assent, paid his 5001. into Mr. Harvey's hands for Frost, and that Mr. Harvey had ap propriated 5001. to his use, unknown to Mr. Frost, it being afterwards discovered that Skingley had paid 1,4501. for the estate. As a preliminary remark upon the circumstances of this case, your Committee have to observe that it is clearly in evidence throughout that Mr. Harvey was, and was publicly known to be, extensively engaged, generally with his father (although not in this transaction), in the purchase and sale of estates. That it appears to the Committee that Mr. Harvey pur chased the estate in question of Mr. John Wall Frost in Octo ber, 1809, under a specific agreement, the preparation and execution of which were so clearly proved that of the existence of it your Committee feels no doubt, and that subsequently to his so doing he, on his own account, sold the same estate to Henry Skingley, Esq., at a profit; but before Mr. Harvey purchased the said estate, and after the price was fixed the offer of the estate was made to the father of Frost by Mr. Harvey, who had been the attorney of J. W. Frost, on whose behalf such offer was made, and the father declined to become the purchaser at that price ; and that it was not until after that refusal that Mr. Harvey contracted for the purchase at the same price of J. W. Frost, whose attorney he then was and continued to be two years after the sale to Skingley, and the profit realized being well known to Mr. J. W. Frost. As Mr. Skinglei, who bought the property, was living, your Committee deemed it essential to have him examined upon the subject of the purchase ; but it being represented by his medical attendant, who appeared before them, that Mr. Slung ley was, on account of illness, incapable of attending the Com mittee at Westminster, a quorum of your Committee was ap pointed to take his examination at his residence at Coggeshall, in Essex. In answer to questions put to him, Mr. Skingley stated that Mr. Harvey was selling the estate for himself as principal, and not as attorney selling for another ; that he had not been ac quainted with Mr. Harvey before he bought the estate, and that he did not remember having any conversation with him some time before the purchase. Upon being shown the agree ment between him and Mr. Harvey Mr. Skingley acknow ledged his , signature, observing that he made the agreement with Mr. Harvey alone, and that he did not deal with any body else ; and, upon being interrogated as to the value of the estate, replied that he had given more for it than it was worth, owing to its local situation on account of its "adjoining his immediate domain." That it appears to'your Committee that the correctness of Mr. Harvey's representation, that he had so bought the estate of Mr. Frost, as well as the correctness of Mr. Skingley's evidence in this particular, is completely borne out by the first item in Mr. Harvey's original bill of costs, now found among Mr. Skingley's papers, and settled at the time, and which is inserted in the appendix. It having been urged by the Benchers that the main point upon whi c h their objection arising out of this cause rested was the circumstance of Mr. Harvey's having made a profit, and that the sam e was concea l e d f rom th e - know ledge of Mr. Frost, until it was discovered before the ar bitrator to whom the cause was referred, and the action having no reference in the first instance to the recovering of the profit made by Mr. Harvey, your Committee made that a,subject of minute inquiry; and the result of the evi dence is clearly to show that the purchase and sale before al luded to was a matter of notoriety at the time, and known to Mr. Frost, the same having taken place four years before the reference, and there is strong reason for believing that the at tempt to recover the profit was a step taken by Mr. Andrew as a speculation, without the sanction, if not entirely unknown to his client. That, finally, it appears that the action was settled to the satisfaction of Mr. Frost, to the exclusion of the 5001. profit realised by Mr. Harvey. Whereupon your Committee came unanimously to the fol lowing Resolution : " That Mr. D. W. Harvey did not sell the property, acting as the agent" or3fr. Frost, and on Mr. Frost's behalf ; but that Mr. Harvey was the bona fide purchaser on-his own account from Mr. Frost, and afterwards sold the estate to Mr. Skingley as principal, and not agent " That your Committee, after the foregoing . Resolutions, do not feel themselves called upon to enter into a more minute investigation of the complicated inferences and allegations set forth in the statement prepared by the Benchers, and urged by them in support of their decision ' • the more especially as the Committee find th a t th e grounds taken by the Benchers in 1834 are materially at variance with the reasons given by them in their certificate to the Judges in 1822. That it appears that Mr. Harvey, on the 7th of November, 1810, was admitted a member of the Inner Temple upon the production of the requisite certificate, signed by two respect able persons of the legal profession, conformable to the fol lowing regulations ; viz., " That before any person be ad mitted a member of the Inner Temple, his age, residence, and condition in life be stated in writing to the Steward or Under-Treasurer of the Society, together with a reference to some respectable person or persons, that inquiry may be made into his character and situation." That in compliance with the rules of the Society respecting attorneys, he caused his name to be struck from the roll of attorneys in the year 1819, being two years previous to his application to be called to the bar. That in November, 1821, having perfected his title to be called by conforming to the rules and regulations of the Inn, he was for the first time apprised that the above two causes required "to be explained " before he could be called to the bar. That a time was appointed for that purpose, when, after the explanation had been given, a communication was made by letter from the Treasurer, stating, that having collected the opinion of the masters of the bench, " their opinion was ad verse to his application" to be called to the bar; and it further appears that, upon being requested by Mr. Harvey to be ap prized of the grounds of their objection, he received a reply, stating that "there was no other answer than to acknowledge the receipt of his letter." That against this decision Mr. Harvey forthwith presented his petition of appeal to the Judges as visitors, and sent a copy thereof to the Benchers on the fifteenth day of Decem ber, 1821. That the Judges called 'upon the Benchers to certify their objections, " if they thought fit so to do ;" and which they did under the signature of their Treasurer, dated the 30th of January, 1822, and the Judges appointed the first of Febru ary following, to hear all parties, the Benchers supplying Mr. Harvey with a copy of their certificate only on the interme diate day. That it appears to your Committee, from the evidence of Mr. Sewell, the law agent of Mr. Harvey upon this occasion, that he attended with several witnesses to meet and explain points of objection set forth in such certificate, but that all per sons, except himself, Mr. Harvey, and his counsel, were ex cluded from the hall, together with the shorthand-writer, and that the evidence of witnesses was not received, but the certifi cateof the Benchers was confirmed instanter. That in the year 1821 Mr. Sewell further states he attended the Benchers, where many witnesses also attended, and that only one was admitted at a time, but that no shorthand-writer, counsel, nor himself were present during any part of the ex amination. That as your Committee have arrived at conclusions di rectly at variance with those of the Benchers, they feel them selves bound to express their conviction that the opinion formed of these two cases by that Learned Body should be at tributed to the imperfect reports of the trials, and still more to the absence of all authority to compel the attendance of necessary witnesses, or to enforce the pr o d uc ti on o f essen ti a lly important documents, which defects have in this inquiry been remedied by the powers of the Committee ; and they have to state to the House their regret that the circumstances last al luded to should have produced consequences to Mr. Harvey which, especially in the sacrifice of a great space of valuable time, are irreparable ; but the Committee therefore express their confident hope that, after the examination of the whole of the evidence, the Benchers will be induced to give Mr. Harvey the full benefit of the present inquiry.

INDIGO.-The prices remain the snme as at the last sale, and some difference of opinion exists as to the future-some thinking the quotations will continue the same as at present, but the greater portion of the dealers think that an increase in the prices will soon occur, by reason of there not being any great quantity remain ing for the next three quarterly sales ; the loss upon importation is near 25 per cent., which is what the present-holders will not sub mit to, and many bought in largely in consequence, and others withdrawing their goods from the last sale. Caracca and Guata mala are in demand at firm quotations. LAC-DYE.-A demand still exists for this article for exportation, and the good descriptions have realized advanced quotations. There is a desire, on the part of speculators, to take good and middling qualities, but none being oftered, an increased price, it is antici pated, will soon take place. COCHINEAL.-In this commodity there is also a good request on shipping account : above 350 bags were, during the last month, exported. For home consumption there is a pretty good demand, and about 150 bags were taken by speculation within the last two or three days, at an improvement of 3d. per lb. SALTPETRE.--A sudden rise took place from 3s. to 4s. per cwt. in the beginning of the last month, by reason of a speculation, founded on the reduction of the duty on importation by the French' Government. The price has since declined from 2s. to 3s. per cwt., as such reduction appears not to have taken place. TOBACCO.-During the month just ended, there were many in quiries for export qualities of Virginia, fit for the northern and southern parts of Europe, and more business would have been done had the market contained such qua lities ; but little being at 'market, and the holders remaining firm, higher prices were demanded in some cases : for these de scriptions very little improved demand can be expected until the new crop is brought to market at the end of next month, or in October ; and for which the importers are expecting improved quotations, from the prices being higher in the United States. During the month about 1004hds. of mid. leafy, part a little damaged, were sold at 4:1 1 4. to 41%d. for the South, and about 50 hhds. of strip and leaf at from 3%d., 4d., to 4 1 Ad. for the North, common leaf 3 3 / 4 d. to 4d.

CALCUTTA JOURNAL COMMITTEE. (From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.) The following report of resolutions was brought up, read, and ordered to lie on the table : 1. Resolved—That it appeared to your Committee that Mr. Buckingham resided in Bengal from the year 1818 to 1823, under a license of the East India Company, and was engaged as principal proprietor and editor of the Calcutta Journal, which was then a highly profitable concern, yielding to himself and the other proprietors a large annual income. 2. Resolved—That it appeared to your Committee that in the year 1823, in the exercise of the discretion vested in the Governor-General, Mr. Buckingham was, by the acting Go vernor-General, ordered to quit India within two months. 3. Resolved—That it appeared to your Committee that after the departure of Mr. Buckingham from India, the Cal cutta Journal was, by order of the Governor-General, alto gether suppressed. 4. Resolved—That your Committee, without impugning the motives which actuated the measures of the Government, feel that those measures have in their consequences proved to Mr. Buckingham and his family penal to a degree which could not have been contemplated at the time of their adoption. . . _ 5. Resolved—That your Committee are therefore of opinion that compensation ought to be made to Mr. Buckingham. 6. Resolved—That your Committee abstain from expressing any opinion as to the amount of compensation, in the hope that that subject will be taken into the favourable consideration of the East India Company, and thus the interposition of Parlia ment, in the, next Session, to fix such amount be rendered unnecessary. REPORT OF THE PRIVATE BILL FEES COll , MITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. 1. Resolved, " That it is the opinion of this Committee that a more equitable apportionment of fees should be adopted, dependent upon the magnitude and importance of the proposed Bill." 2. Resolved, " That with a view to an assimilation of the Standing Orders of both Houses, the Standing Orders be revised." 3. Resolved, " That recognizances for payment of costs be entered into, previous to going into Committee, by parties promoting Bills, if required by any opposing party, who there upon shall enter into a like recognizance ; but in neither case shall costs be claimed, unless awarded by a special Resolution of the Committee." 4. Resolved, " That an alteration should take place in the system of obtaining assents and dissents of owners and occu piers, and that the transmission of notice to the former of the intended measure by the General Post be deemed sufficient." 5. Resolved, " That proofs of compliance with Standing Orders may be taken on af f idavit before competent authorities on the spot." 6. Resolved. " That longer notice be given previous to going into Committee in certain cases ; and that seven days notice be given in the case of all Bills relating to Scotland and Ireland." 7. Resolved, " That the House copy may be dispensed with." 8. Resolved, " That the present system of engrossment should be continued." 9. Resolved, " That an Act containing the various general clauses now inserted in private Bills relating to railways, canals, docks, &c., be passed, and made applicable to all such Bills ; and that such Act be recited in the preamble of Bills relating to railways, canals, docks, &c." 10. Resolved, " That an alteration should take place in the present system of blanking Bills." Your Committee cannot close their proceedings without noticing the unanimous testimony borne to the satisfactory manner in which the business of the Private Bill Office is conducted. COURT CIRCULAR.

Several very elegant portions of a service of plate, which has been ordered by the King for the use of her Majesty, have just been finished by Rundle and Bridge, the King's gold smiths. The pattern, without being load e d or overdone, ex hibitsgreat discrimination and good taste. A deputation of Scotch distillers, consisting of Mr. George Dunlop and Mr. Thomas Haig, had an interview yesterday with Viscount Althorp, at his residence in Downing-street. Prince Talleyrand, and M. Van de Weyer (the Belgic Minister), visited Viscount Palmerston yesterday at the Foreign Office. Armeice Ben Hafman transacted business yesterday at the Colonial-office.

Lord and Lady Frederick Fitzclarence returnedto the Castle yesterday evening, from their residence in Eaton-square. In addition to the company staying at the Castle, the Dean of Windsor, the Provost of Eton, and others of the Clergy, will have the honour of dining with the King this evening. BOROUGH OF THETFORD„ A deputation from the electors of Thetford waited upon Biggs Andrews, Esq., of the Norfolk Circuit, on Saturday last, with a requisition numerously and respectably signed, inviting him to offer himself for the representation of the borough on the present vacancy. He has complied with the requisition, and yesterday canvassed the borough with much success. The Grafton and Baring interests are opposed to him ; one Member for each having been returned, by a com pact between the Duke and Mr. Baring and his predecessor (Lord Petre) for upWards of sixty years. The electors ap pear to be tired of these family arrangements, and to be anxious to return a Member of their own nomination. Mr. Andrews' political principles are of a liberal and independent character, and lie is highly respected in the town and neigh bourhood. It is rumoured that the Earl of Euston will be the other candidate. THE LATE MRS. ARBUTHNOT. The demise of this beautiful and accomplished lady was very sudden. The melancholy event was the principal topic of con versation at Lady Salisbury's. We learn that the deceased died at a farm house near Woodford, to which she had walked, and was there seized with spasms. Sir Henry Halford was sent for, but before the Baronet's arrival she was no more. An express was sent to Apsley House, which reached town on a turday evening, where the bearer, not finding the Duke of Wellington, set off for Hertfordshire, and found his Grace at dinner at Hatfield, with the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. The disorder which hurried this lady to her grave was, we hear, the ch o l era . M rs . A r b uthnot expired at Woodford House, near Kettering, in Northamptonshire, on Saturday morning, after an indisposition of three days. An express was sent to London on Thursday night for the attendance of Sir H. Halford, who was, however, at the time, at his seat at Wis ton, in Lincolnshire, which is not far distant from Kettering. Mr. and Mrs. Arbuthnot left Carlton-gardens for Woodford yesterday fortnight, when the unfortunate lady was in high health and spirits. She subsequently had a bilious attack, from which, however, she was recovering at the beginning of the last week. Mrs. Arbuthnot was the youngest daughter of the late Hon. Thomas Fane, second son of the eighth Earl of Westmoreland, and sister to Lieut.-General Sir Henry Fane, and Lieut.-Colonel Mildmay Fane. She was in her 41st year, and since January, 1823, had received a pension of 9361. on the English Civil List. She was united to the Right Hon. Charles Arbuthnot in 1814. DEATH OF S. T. COLERIDGE, ESQ. We have this week to record the departure of another mighty spirit from among us—the quenching in the darkness of the grave of another of the few bright stars which yet re mained to us. We have it not in our power to offer any de tailed biographical notice of Mr. Coleridge. That ke was born at Bristol, educated at Christ's Hospital, studied at Jesus College, Cambridge, and accompanied the late Sir Alexander Ball to Malta as secretary, are facts which are already public. His tour to Germany (accomplished through the liberality of the Messrs. Wedgwood), his residence at Nether Stowey and at the Lakes, his marriage, and the birth of his children—his labours in the Friend, the Watchman, and the Morning Post —his residence during the latter years of his 11ife at Highgate —are things so well known to the greater number of our readers, that they call for no particular mention on this occasion. His life was one of precarious fortunes, the consequences of those singularities of character, temperament, and habits, which grew out of his original and peculiar genius. Those who have read his Biographia Literaria will not forget his account of his journey to solicit subscriptions for his Watchman, nor his extraordinary harangue against periodical literature in the house of one for whose patronage he was then soliciting. It was a type of the man—a s ure token that, in the hard business of life, its strivings, and it s amass i ngs , h e cou ld not b e suc cessful. Another anecdote of him, no less characteristic, may not be so generally known. We have reason to believe that during the early period of his life he enlisted as a common soldier the Dragoons ;of course he dil not remain long in the service. Perhaps his then democratical principles made his officers willing to get rid of him—perhaps (which is a fact) because he could not be taught to ride. On Saturday the 2d inst. the mortal remains of the poet and philosopher, S. T. Coleridge,'were deposited in the vaults of Highgate Church. His funeral was strictly private, and his hearse was followed by a. very few intimate friends only, who had known and appreciated the high !moral excellence of the man, and his affectionate love to all who had shown the least kindness to him. Many of the admirers of his great at tainments and his high literary fame and reputation would have wished to attend, but they were not invited, some even excluded, by the friends who had the conduct of his funeral, and who were best acquainted with the dislike of the deceased to empty - ostentation, and with the just but meek and Chris t:an feelings and sentiments of his last moments. His works, either now before the world or posthumous, under the care of able. friends, will be the noblest monument which could be raised to his memory, and prove to posterity what a loss Eng land and the world have experienced by his death.—Athr nccum. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. An announcement for some days past that the whole strength of the company at the King's Theatre was to appear last even ing at the above establishment had excited considerable curio sity. Rumour was busy on the occasion, and it became at length a matter of certainty that the speculation was intended as a benefit for M. Laporte, to reimburse him for the heavy losses which he has sustained in his theatrical speculations. A considerable crowd assembled at the doors, chiefly attracted by the names in the affiche of the charming Grisi and the graceful Tagliorii, the Sylphide par excellence. But neither the brilliant tones of the Italian cantratrice nor the rapid bounds of the French danseuse were destined to be heard or witnessed on the boards of Covent-Garden. The cries of "Chars:: La Porte" were responded to by the echoes of the piazzas, and the strength of the b arr i ers prove d a suff i c i ent hindrance to the indignant blows .. applied by th e company at the entrances. At length the multitude dispersed en desespoir, and "peace reigned in Israel," the discomfited visitors consoling them selves by resorting to the English Opera-house, which reaped the benefit of the disappointment of the beneficiaire. Indispo sition of the principal performers was the ground alleged for the performances not taking place. LYCEUM AN4-,ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE. The veteran Morton? * is indefatigable. His fancy is as fresh as in the olden time ; 'abd if there should be any doubt of the fact, we would advise our readers to have a look at The Dragon, who is now exhibiting his antics at the Lyceum. Thig little interlude, for it is only in one act, is a right pleasant skittish affair, which gives you no time to think, but plenty of opportunity to laugh. A crowded audience last night indulged in the propensity to their heart's content, and many more will, no doubt, follow the example. The plot runs somewhat thus :—Brigadier Clarendon (F. Matthews), a warrior un peu passe, has a young wife (Mrs. Waylett), to whom he is much attached. Although he thinks her virtue, like crystal, with out a speck, yet the hints of Sukey (Mrs. Keeley), the maid of Mrs. Clarendon, and the betrothed of Rolly (Keeley), a jealous drummer, touching the attention of Sir George Kid glove (Hemmings) towards his lady, induce the Brigadier to employ the drummer, whose life he had saved in battle, as the " dragon of the Hesperian fruit." Mrs. Clarencha is in formed by Sukey of the act of her husband, and turns the tables, by making sad havoc with the doomed drummer. The equivoques which arise from the vehement attachment shown by the lady to poor Rolly are of infinite drollery. Of course all things are satisfactorily explained at last. The acting was excellent. Morton has taken a good measure of Keeley, who hit off with nicety the points of his character. Mrs. Keeley was admirable in the soubrette. Her imitation of her mistress's singing was in capital style, it was so truly servantijied. The Dragon was announced to appear again amidst great plaudits and very trifling hissing. The grand opera of Nuudahad pre ceded the new farcetta. VICTORIA THEATRE. Novelties, and some very good ones too, are coming out at this Theatre very rapidly. Last night a new drama, in three acts, called The Heiress of Bruges, taken from Mr. Grattan's popular novel of that name, was represented he, - re.

In The Heiress of Bruges this fault is apparent throughout, and the piece loses much of its effect and all its interest in conse quence of a want of condensation in the dialogue. We should strongly advise curtailment and compression from the opening scene to the closing one, for without considerable pruning it is impossible for the drama to be either attractive or tolerated. VAUXHALL GARDENS. Mr. Simpson, the illustrious, the indefatigable, and, we hope, the imperishable Master of the Ceremonies and distri butor of smiles and sandwiches, took his second benefit at " the Royal property" last night. The company was of a highly respectable character, with a considerable sprinkling of ton. The air, however, was chilly, though the clouds were propi tious, and the assemblage of visitors was not so crowded a s such an occasion might have warranted us in expecting. Th e fire-works were unusually brilli a nt, and the inimitable beneji ciaire was done to the life, forty feet high, in lamps of many colours. The " oil which made (or ought to have made hi m ) of a cheerful countenance" was not done justice to, many of the most striking features being unillumed. There were s ome lamps deficient also in parts of the " great man's" unapproach able and irreproachable cos tume. We were sorryrry to see t h at any one could have been picking holes" in the coat o f so worthy an individual.
