FOR TILE SCX Me. EDlTOR—Nothing can be rnore'ha l usi n g, gratifying, or instructive, than your Daily E. tracts from the London Journals, hs they afford an interesting record and comment on the passing times. The introduction was honourable to your sagacity and public spirit, and deserves the en couragement you receive. But at times you give too much indulgence to party spirit. Why not take all the " pith and marrow " of the several leading articles, and expunge their gross per sonalities ? Their remarks are generally shrewd, judicious, and useful, but their illiberal attacks on Government and Public Characters tend to sour the minds of the unreflecting multitude, disturb the peace of society, &c. excite discon tent, if not sedition, and certainly lessen respect for rank and authority. A CONSTANT READER. United Service Club, June 23. ( The following is from a late Baltimore Paper qf the 28th May, received yesterday. ) The news from Chili is to the 20th of February. The lives of some of the Deputies of the Chilian Congress has been at tempted by individuals, who, when arrested, accused as insti gators of the crime the ,Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, also a Deputy and another ; the latter were likewise committed to prison; and the country was in a ferment, a number of lead 'ag persons being implicated in schemes of revolution. The ( levernor represented the State to be in the greatest danger, and requested the Congress to devise means to maintain the decid e upon the draft of a law, according to which it would be immediately dissolved ; the Governor invested with dictatorial Power for a month ; a Legislative Committee of seven or nine established ; and anew National Congress formed under a sys -tern of election, to be digested and promulgated by the Com mittee. In the preamble of the law it is mentioned that the existing Congress could do nothin; , useful, owing to the spirit of passion : that the condition of 'things required energy and celerity in the proceedings of the Executive ; that: extraordi nary powers must therefore be conceded to that branch ; and that what was thus necessary could not be managed while there existed a numerous deliberative body. • As a proof of the increasing population of the Russian Empire, we may mention, that in nine. Eparehies the Proportion of births and deaths in 1323 was is follows : Births - . . • ' 529,427 Deaths - . . . 277,8J3. Excess of Births - - 251,554 Arnong the deaths are recorded 10 individuals above 110 Years of age, and one who attained the age of 130.

Yesterday morning the Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by Prince George and Princess Augusta of Cambridge, ho noured Sir Thomas Lawrence with a visit at his residence in Russell-square, for the purpose of the infant Prince and Princess taking a first sitting to Sir Thomas for their portraits. The sitting occupied about two hours. Prince Leopold, attended by Baron Stockmar, left Marl borough House on Wednesday afternoon for his residence at Claremont.

The Marquess of Hertford entertained a most splendid party last evening at his noble mansion in Piccadilly. Tile whole of the Royal Family, we believe, with the exception of his Ma jesty, were present, besides 400 persons of the highest rank.— The Noble Marquess erected with peculiar taste a temporary theatre in the large apartment,`where a French play was acted by the performers from Tottenham-street. At the conclusion of the Vaudeville, a superb supper, consisting of every delicacy of the season, together with the greatest variety of fruits and wine; kept the CoMpany in a spirit of perfect enjoyment and hilarity until a late hour. A L 3fACICS.—The Ball given at these elegant rooms, on Wed nesday evening, was attended by nearly 500 of the ;taut ton. _FEMALE FASHIONS FOR RUA', 1a25. ( From La Belle AssernNee.) CARRIAGE DRESS.—A pelisse of lavender-coloured grog de Naples., fastened down. the front of the skirt with buttons of the same ; on each side of these buttons are points a la Van dyke' of satin, edged with n arrow r o u lea ux o f gror d e N ap l es , or rich beading ; the trimminground the border consists of the same points, and over the hem, next the feet, is a very broad full rouleau of the same material as the pelisse. A pelerine cape finishes the body, and over the cape falls a fine India muslin collar' trimmed with lace. Over a fine lace coruette is a Lyonese hat, which, for its novelty alone, may excite admira tion : it is of pink Crape, - with satin stripes under the brim, on the lining; the stripes a shade darker than • the hat, which, differing -from all other -hats worn-over a cap, turns up par tially all round, and is finished at .tbe edge .by a quilling of.; blond. The crown - is ornamented with pink gauie and a bou-i vtet of white, roses. From a braid. of ha ir, : now the fashionable ornament in preference to the chains of gold, depends a convent cross : this cross is often of white cornelian, gold, or agate, in, half dress ; and it ia generally composed of pearls, rubies, or emeralds for the evening. The parasol "accompanying this dress is of mignonette-leaf green. • EVENING DRESS.—A Frock of talk, over white satin, with an ornament of a yeti novel kind on the border, composed of white satin ; from which material are formed crescents or half-rings of foliage, lying partly over each other across the skirt, .and composing a very broad boarder of a rich and striking kind : the corsage is of white satin, and made very plain, excepting that it is surrounded at the tucker part with points of foliage. The sleeves are short, a nd are trimmed in a corresponding manner. The hair is dressed short at the ears, and surmounted by a diadem comb, profusely set with pearls, and among the tresses are scattered full-blown roses. The necklace is of three rows, twisted, of pearls ; and beneath the necklace is a long plait of hair, from which depends a large convent cross of pure gold, beautifully wrought : bracelets of the same material 'and workmanship are worn over the gloves; and armlets of gold very broad, and finely chased, are worn above the elbow, very near the termination of the short sleeve. [From Ackermann': Repoiitory of Arts, Fashians, Mann fixture:, 4-c. PROMENADE DRESS.—Pelisse of lilac gro: de Naples ; the collar stiffened, and turned half over; the corsage is made full longitudinally, and confined by a band and a row of lilac silk buttons down the centre of the front and. back ; the shoul ders also have a band, but without buttons. The sleeves are en gigot; neatly finished with bands at the wrist : the ceinture is rather broad, and ornamented behind by two silk frogs of the same colour as the pelisse ; a rouleau of the same breadth as the hem, and separated by a space of equal width, surrounds the bottom of the skirt, which is long and full. Cornetts of tulle, with a narrow full border. Bonnet of British Leghorn, very fine and light; the brim broad and open ; the crown rater low, and trimmed with double white crepe - lisle edged with blue satin, beginning at the bottom of the crown in front, and rising across to the top at the back, where it is formed into a tasteftil bow. Brussels lace veil. Straw-colour Shoes and glOves ; greenparasol, lined with pale rose-colour'sarsnet. EVENING DRESS—Dress of jonquil-colour crepe arse over a white satin slip; the corsage made plain, but ornamented in the front and at the back with six perpendicular satin roulcaus, rather approximating at the waisti-and terminating beneath a white satin band across the top of the bust: small satin orange leaves are placed directly over. each rouleau: The sleeves -are short and full, and have-a trimming Of 'folded "erepelisre round the arm, and up the centre a wreath of orange-leaves in satin. The skirt is ornamented about a third of its depth, ,with three satin tucks between each ; large orange-leaves in satin are placed near, but not to touch : b roa d sat i n sas h , w i t h l ong en d s fringed, fastened on the left side by a brilliant amethyst buckle. The hair in large curls, with bows of shaded jonquil gauze ribbon interspersed. Necklace of graduated amethysts; ear rings and bracelets to suit. Stripe gauze fiche, or handkerchief of white and amethyst colour. Long white - kid gloves, and white satin shoes. ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC.--A Con cert, sup ported by the juvenile Pupils of this flourishing Institution, took place yesterday at the Hanover square Rooms. There was a very numerous assemblage .of the., higher ranks ptiesent. The progress of these Candidates for : public favour excited surprise, 'as well as admiration and reiterated applause. When the Concert concluded, the Prizes were delivered in the presence of the Princess AUGUSTA and the Duke of CAMBRIDGE ; and the distribution appeared to be assigned with a due regard to the most conspicuous merit. Prince ESTERHAZY, Austrian Ambassador io the Court of London, who attended the Coronation as the repre sentative of his Sovereign, will shortly leave Paris for the Bri tish capital. NVe hear that his 'Excellency is likely to super sede. Baron Vincent, as Austrian Ambassador to the Court of France.—( Galignani's Messenger.) KING'S THEATRE ------- The long-promised novelty, 'Move cheer's heralc. opera, II: Crociato in Egitto, was last night produced. lf it were, as'it was said to be, brought forward for the benefit of Signor VELLtr.rr, who on this occasion made his first appear ance before a British audience, that individual mast have pro fited-very considerably by the experiment. Before the opening of the doors,, they were beset .by considerable numbers, and, soon after the public were admitted, the house was filled, in every part. In the pit we observed many professors of'. music, anxious to analize Velluti's talents, and many Italians ; who., during the evening, with, as we think, very bad taste, ap plauded him,' whether lie sang well or ill—most vehemently determined, we suppose; that Italian customs; however humi liating or degrading, ought to be supported by the - SOni of Italy when in a foreign land. The boxes were most fashionably attended. Lords and knights, and ladies fair, assembled to do homage to this repreSentative of the epicene gender. Those high and no doubt honourable - . personages, many of whom have passed a considerable portion of their lives in . Italy, far from their own sturdy, rough-toned peasantry, may delight in such .forced fruits, such costly exotics ; but, nurture them as they may, they never will suit the unsophisticated palate of that people, who, for years, fought the battles of Europe, and came from the contest victorious. All was buz—all was whisper—all was anxiety_ until Velluti, the strange magnet of the evening, appeared.— Even Madame Caradori, whose performance (always chaste) astonished, on this occasion, by its brilliancy, was passed by (proh pudor !) with comparative listlessness. At length the hero - of the night . appeared. Tall, and of slender form, he descended from the galley, in which, as a triumphant warrior, he approaches Damietta. Very loud applause, intermingled with some slight disapprobation, marked his entrance on the scene. He trembled excessively—but, encouraged by the ap probation which he received, he advanced, and having bowed respectfully to audience, proceeded with his task. IVe have already said that he is tall : we cannot say, from the dress in which heap. peered, whether he be well or ill-forined. His eyes are good—his features feminine, but they havenot, even in the most impassioned scenes, that lovely and gloWing intelligence which . we generally see beaming on th e fe ma l e countenance, although- beauty of feature be absent. Velluti's face is distinguished by a melan choly placidity. It speaks of a heart that knows no joys. It is a painted sepulchre; the external of a mind, it would seem, where sorrow is predominant. How shall we describe his voice ? It is the most unequal, as well as the most unnatural, that we ever heard ; and we desire not even though we lose Il Crociato in Egitto, ever to hear it again. It has the shrillness of a -woman's voice, but not the sweetness. At times it burst upon us with all the discordance of a peacock's scream, or that of a superannuated lady scolding her servants.(they are con vertible terms); at other times his notes were sweet, and soft, and flexible. . His style of singing is highly scientific—his running passages, if it were not for a certain harshness which accompanies -several of his notes, would be perfect—his cadences are delicate and expressive. We have thus far spoken of his qualifications as a singer, and we now will . say one or two words on his general reception. T 'applause was very nearly una nimous, but a hiss or two oc:asionally saluted the ear; and the most grave of Velluti's supporters could not conquer their in clination for laughter, when the- deep full tones of R emor i n i came in contrast with th e outlandish squall (long may it con tinue to be so) of Velluti.- An effect no less .ludicrous, and attended with no less merriment, was produced by the opposi tion of the delicate tones of Caradori to those of the evening's wonder, when lie was 1 " Straining harsh discords. a nd un pl eas i ng sharps." This extraordinary dissimilarity of voice in several instances created such a feeling, half jocular, half pitiable, as nearly de stroyed the effect of some of the most serious scenes. The two finest efforts of Velluti were the duo with Curioni, • - 44 11 brando invitto " Del genitore," in which he sang with spirit, and showed some talent as an actor, and the concluding duo, " II tencro afflito," with Ma dame Caradori. An attempt was made to encore a trio in the first act, in which he took a leading part; but certain imit a tion s ' of his voice, proceeding chiefly from the gallery, defeated the intention. Be stood for a short time apparently amazed 'at the noise, and at length, taking Madame Caradori by the hand, he stepped forward, cast a most imploring look towards the audience (from our hearts we pitied him, and despised those who had placed him in such a situation), and retired. After the curtain had fallen, the applauSe became vehement. The greater part ofit we should, in good taste, rather attribute, to the excellence of th e o p era . Si gnor Velluti, or his advisers, however, conceived it was intended as a compliment to him, and he again made his appearance on the stage along with Madame Caradori, bowed, and retired. We have already spoken of Madame Caradori, who performed the character of Paiamide, as having surprised us. We really did not before , believe that she possessed s uc h ex t ens i ve powers . ti er part is a long and trying one; and in every scene she displayed not only taste anti delicacy, but a richness of science which we hardly gave her credit for. Signora Garcia sustained the character of Felicia most charmingly. She sang the air " Giovinetto . Cavalier," which was encored, and which is • 1 one of the most exquisite mama:i in the opera; with beauti ful effect. But why, we ask, did the Manager suffer Signor Garcia to interpolate a tolerably good air of his own for Meyer beer's atia "Pace ei 'Tear' Pe shoulki assert his authority, , and insist that the players should perform that which was 44 set down for them." Theseentiy,.- if they be a ll owe d t o pl a y " fantastic t r i c k s " o f this-kind; -g ind; wil) soon become more trouble some even than " the °per:4 , oll, l ,as our Scotch metaphysi cians have christened - the journeyman artisans. Curioni and Remorini performed their psirtswelf. We have been, .in con sequence of thelateness of the himr, obliged to give but a meagre account ofthe opeii. We shall sum up by saying that the music is distinguished bY grandeur ; the melodies are rather few, burthase few are gems. • Amongst those who were most prominentin supporting Velluti, we observed the Puke of ‘Vellington and a party, Lord Maryborough, and a 'Lady for whom we feel too much cdnipassion to mention her name.— ( Ti4e Times.) SPOILING A COMPLIMENT.-WhiLit the late Dr. PA LEY was on' a visit to the venerable Bishoo of DURHAM at Auckland Palace, an elderly Clergyman was-one of his Lordship's guests, and in the course of conversation asserted, " that al " though he Lid lieen married forty years, lie " had never had the slightest difference with his wife.!" The Bishop, much pleased - with so rare an instance of connubial felicity, was on the point of complimenting'the , Worihy when PALEY archly observed,—"Don't you think, my " Lord, it must have been very flat !" HENRY Loan HoLLANn•--This Nobleman, towards the decline of 'life, was . sitting one morn ing with Dr. CAluvutr..t.he author, and they, were endeavouring to. console each other on their mutual infirmities, lamenting peevishly the many inconveniences to which want of health subjected mankind when advanced in years. The door suddenly opened, and a well-known agent for Government, not remarkable for morality, en tered the room,' florid and full of health. They congratulated him on his looks. 4 4 Yes," says he, " . "nature has been very kind to me —I have never known a day's sickness in all my life." This declaration by no means softened the asperity of the Peer, which the Agent observing , retired. " Ther e now , C ArapuELL ," sa id his Lordship, pointin g to the door, 64 you see how P rov id ence has tak n care of that 'scoundrel, not regarding your dropsical belly and my damned gout." PoPisu ZEn.---The Popish party, not con tent with the indignities they had heaped upon the person of Archbishop CRANMER, actually burnt, publicly, his book on the Sacrament. This being told to him, he exclaimed, " Ah ! they have 44 honoured it more than it deserved, for I hear 64 they burnt it with the New Testament."— Which was the fact. THE NOTED LADY BAItRYI I IOI2E.-.ThiS wretched individual, named Ilfory Any: Pearce, well known as the cele brated Lady BarrYsnore, was brought before Mr. WHITE, the Sitting Magistrate at Queen-square Office, charged with her accustomed exploits this morning in Tothill-street, creating a disturbance, milling the glaie, and violently assaulting the street-keeper, whom she put to defiance, and placed herself in boxing attitude ala Crib. Her Ladyship had nothing to say in her defence; but on being infortned by the Magistrate he must send'her to prison for such conduct, she most grossly in sulted his worship with the foulest language. The prisoner was committed to her old quarters in Tothill•fields Bridewell. P 0 E 'P R Y. IMPROMPTU. Good Mr. BROUGHAM, pray suppose. A :man should underneath your nose His odious breath effuse, • Would you not strait your hand apply, And, hiddin him not come so nigh, So close a plea refuse ? So, if CATILILE, whate'er.his creed, Should bruit it forth by word and deed, To shake the; world's repose, Should you not bid him too withdraw', And guard that world's repose by LAW, As you would shield your nose ?

The Royal Society for the Improvement of Prisons held a Meeting at Paris on Friday, in the apartments of the DAUPIIiN, its President. The Prince opened the Meeting by a short speech, in which he declared the solicitude of the King for the amelioration of the situation of the prisoners. The Minister of the Interior read a report of the recent la bours of the Society. Eighteen out of the 19 central prisons have been improved, and the attention of the Society is directed to the only remaining one. The Prefect of the Depart ment gave an account of the improvement of the Paris prisons, and stated that seven or eight millions of francs are required to, carry into execution the ameliorations proposed. Of this suns five millions are already secured, and the rest, it is hoped, will be obtained without difficulty. The Hon. Prefect added, that he had been to England for the purpose of !slaking himself ac quainted with the prison system, and aihnitted that that country had made much greater progress tban . France. The Prefect of the Police, and several other members of the Society, addressed the Meeting, which"afterwards broke up: MORE HORSEWIIIPPINU„AT- CIIELTENIIAht.

The moment he left the box he Was'assailed , by Mr. GriffithS, theProptietorond:by:the Printer of 7'he Cheltenham Chronicle, using a horsewhip, and the other a- stick, With 'quite as much vigour as had been displayed by Colonel Berkeley. .The effects of the diicipline were soot) visible, and Mr. Judge had another. vein opened on the occasion. The attack is attributed to some paragraph in the Journal offensive to Mr. Griffiths.and his squire; who thought they could not act in•a more becoming manner, than by following the example of their gallant neigh bour, the Colonel.----(Morning Paper).

After several interviews, in which the terms were agreed upon, but without ,the names of i the parties being declared, he came on the evening of the 28th March to the house of Alin Dureau, and informed her tharthe young ladies would be there presently to_ pay-the purchase_ money, and prepare 'to take possession. The evening,V4Ssed on, but Pellerin 'contrived, with on e excuse' or other,, io account for the non-appearanee' of - the purchasers, until 'nearly midnight, when 31iss Dureati, becoming uneasy t reoneseed him to retire, and got up herself to conduct him to the door; but just as She was about to open it, 'Pellerin threW 7 himielf 'tipiitt • her, put his hands into her mouth to prevent' her cryifig odt, and, having forced her to the ground, dragged her to the eBt '. ter, where he grasped her throat with the intention of strangling; -her, jumped upon her bialy, and 'beat her head repeatedly!ii the floor. The blood - flowed copiously 'faun the nose and thenth Ofthe victim, and made Pellerin believe that she was','Able to call out-for help. In order to ma ke s ure work, hoV r ioer, he ' drew a knife from his pocket, and atteMptettiO;6li heViii,rtiaf. At this moment a profuse hiemorhage took place 'fermi the mouth, and the stream of blood made the wretch believe that he had effectually cut her throat, when,' in fact., he had only very slightly wounded it. By an i ns pi rat i on of Providenet,• 'Miss Dureau had presence of mind to keep in her •breath, nridtthus deceive the assassin. Sh e rece i ve d t h e bl ow of the knife With out the least motion, and Pellerin, when he put his Mile dPon the wound and withdrew it covered with blodtt,' had little:doubt from this circumstance, and her inanimate,appearance, that she was dead. Under this impression, he returned to the sitting room and ransacked the cupboards. By the reflection of the light Miss Dureau could see that she was unobserved by Pellerin. Suddenly assuming resolution, although she had scarcely any strength left, and her head was' in a lake of blood, she crawled to the side-door of the shop, which opened into the passage leading to the staircase, passed through it, shut the door gently, and finding the key in it, turned It upon her assailant. She then crept up stairs to the front rociM•bn 'the first floor, and locked herself in. With much difficillti , she succeeded in placing herself at the window, with the inten don of calling for succour, but her strength failed her.' The window, however, being open, her groans were heard ,at about one o'clock in the morning by a M.-B. - , who was passing. He addressed her, and after some lime heard front her what had happened, and that Pellerin was still in' she house. M.' B. fetched the police and entered the shop, where the wretch was found and effectually secured. On his triat he maintained the greatest sang froid, and heard sentence of dehtli pronouneed without displaying the slightest emotion.. Miss Dureau has happily recovered. We hardly need add, Mkt, tlfc' story told by Pellerin about the two young ladies was fictitious. • - A knife was ) one day last week, discovered is a wall of the ruins of St. Augustine's Itlonastery; the blade, , which was encased with rust, was of a different shape froni those now in use, and on the haft was inscribed, in German langitaiti , and characters, the following legend :—All a citel in dir zeelt ~" All this world is vanity." -
