ome to say that, those who do not wish to cv press Ireland are less friends than they to 'the . Church and King ? And where will their inso lence end? Do they want to exclude Protes tants also from the Constitution, if they are not bigots ? 'We believe in our hearts that they "uld if they could. Indeed there is nothing too mean, selfish, and wicked, for some of that party to be guilty of. We cannot, however, conclude without ex pressing a hope, that the Duke of CLARENCE bl 5 W ill duly appreciate the intention of entrapping Royal Hi g h ness, b y extending his meaning beyond what his words imply, and thus endea vouring to create a dilemma, of which they will t ake due advantage. But the example of his Sovereign points out a course which his Royal Highness cannot be offended at our pronouncing w° rtily of imitation. Caution and steadiness are the duty of those who hold a balance. The French Papers of Friday, and the Etoile dated Saturday, have been received. Their news from Spain and Portugal is not so recent as what we have received through a more direct channel. They however confirm the reports of continual desertion among the Spanish troops, which must increase in proportion as the inte rests of their country are better understood by the soldiery and appreciated by the people.

(Extract from the Oriental Spectator. ) SMYRNA, ♦PRIL 13. We learn from Constantinople, that the Divan has be gun to carry into execution the principal articles of the treaty of Akermann ; and that the best understanding pre vails between the Porte and the Russian Legation. This state of things is highly agreeable to the numerous popula tion of the capital.—For this last fortnight the most dread ful weather has been experienced in the Archipelago. The Victorieur French corvette has been obliged to cut its cable. Here the temperature has varied in the most extra ordinary manner : it was as if several seasons succeeded each other in the course of the day. In the morning and evening it is very cold, but the vegetation, however, is flourishing, and promises ample crops. Dutch Papers to the 27th inst., and Ham burgh to the 24th, have just been received. The following are extracts : BRUNSWICK, MAY 18. A Proclamation has been published here, in which his Highness the Duke announces that, though in his Letters Patent, issued the 30th October,lB23, he had not touched on the question how far the Ordinances, &c., issued by the Government during his minority were to be considered as binding on himself and his subjects, the time is now come to regulate a matter of such im portance, and as it cannot be doubted that such ordi nances, &c. are binding only so far as they do not vio late the well acquired rights of sovereignty or property, and also, that according to the ancient laws and conventions, his Highness was of age at the age of eighteen, and con sequently, all the Ordinances, &c. issued during the ille gally prolonged Government, from 30th October 1822, to 30th October 1823, requite his special approbation to have legal force, he hereby signifies his will, and though he has ordered all the Ordinances, &c. issued by the Go vernment during his minority to be observed, he reserves to himself the right of taking them into further considera tion, for the purpose of seeing how far they are consistent, with the good of Lis subjects. BERLIN, MAY 19. Their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Frederick of the Netherlands, arrived here yesterday, and also the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburg Schwerin.

On the 25th of May, in the afternoon, Mr. Joseph Wolff will deliver a discourse in German, in the Lecture Room of the Athenum, in which he will give an account of the present state of the Jews in Palestine, Syria, Meso potamia, and Persia. By the Belvidere, Captain Hobson, Charleston Couriers to the sth instant, have been received at the North and South American Coffee House. The following are some SHIPPING INTtLLMENCE—(THIS bAY.) that the parer of etelusion from a Coroner's Court was necessary to the due administration of justice, and there fore that the plaintiff could not maintain an action against the Coroner, for the exercise of a power with which the law invested him. In conclusion, the Court referred to the case of Hammond v. the Recorder of London, where the Foreman of a Jury was imprisoned by the Recorder; and yet the Court of Common Pleas maintained that no action could lie, as the Recorder had acted, however im properly, in his judicial situation. MEETING OF SPANISH BONDHOLDERS. (THIS DAY.) A very numerous Meeting of the holders of Spanish Bonds, was held this day, at the City of London Tavern, to consider what steps they shall take in the present condi tion of these Bonds. Mr. YouNo called on the gentleman who called the Meeting to come forward and state his object, when they would immediately proceed to business. _ _ The convener oi'die Meeting (Mr. Spratt, of Canterbury) said he felt compelled, by the adverse circumstances in which he, as a Bondholder, was placed, to bring them together, coolly and temperately to discuss the plan which they should adopt—it was to prepare and present some Re solutions on .the subject, to the Charge d'Affaires cf his Catholic Majesty in London.—(Hear.) —The British cha racter had been always founded upon the strictest principles of integrity and good commercial faith. The gentleman proceeded to read a series of Resolutions, which he had drawn up, and which contained his opinions as to the course of conduct which he would recommend to be adopted. Mr. YouNa took the Chair—Although only interested in the old bonds, he yet acceded to their call to preside at this Meeting. There existed no pretext on the part of the Spanish Government to deny the obligation of either the old or new bonds ; it had been his intention this day, if lie were not called to the chair, to move a resolution calling on the British Government to interfere with Spain in their behalf ; if the Spanish Government owed British mer chants for contracts, they would be compelled to pay. At the time those bonds were formed, Ferdinand had Minis ters from all the European nations at his Court. A BONDHOLDER thought, as long as the French re mained in Spain they would never be paid one penny ; and it was therefore the duty of the Bondholders to call on our Government to interfere with M. de Villele, to induce the French Government to withdraw their troops. Mr. SPRATT said, • the object of his Resolutions would have left all the circumstances now broached to future consideration. He would move the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the whole matter, to make a claim on the Spanish Government, to refer to the con tractor, and ascertain what he meant to do. The Resolutions were then read. The first alluded to the non-payment of the 7th dividend, and declared that it was the duty of this meeting to submit to the King of Spain, a remonstrance on the subject, and point out the just consequences, political and moral, of a further refusal on the part of the Government of that country, a discussion arose on the adoption in the resolu tion of the word "humble" several of the bondholders, expressing their opinion that it ought to be left out, and a motion to that effect was proposed, but subsequently with drawn. The first resolution was then adopted as the foun dation of their proceedings. The second resolution was one disclaiming all political motives, and stating that the loans were sanctioned by all the forms ;of legitimate go vernment. (A conversation arose as to whether the latter part of the motion should stand mixing up both the loans, which certainly stood on distinct grounds.) Mr. SPRATT thought these distinctions should come from the Spanish Government when they were applied to. Mr. PARRER, a Spanish Refugee, Aid de Camp to General Valdez, thought there was no distinction be tween the loans, as to the right of payment on the part of the Spanish Government. They are all equally right and lawful, and it would be undoubtedly best to make au application on the entire unbroken subject. A GENTLEMAN adverted to the conduct of Oliver Crom well, at the time the French Government endeavoured to play a similar trick on British merchants ; he sent his crui sers out, who took the French ships, and paid the merchants out of the proceeds.—(l-lear.)—A bondholder, we want such a man of deeds, not words, at present.---(Hear. ) The Resolutions were ultimately adopted. extracts : By the schooner Sally and Polly, we have Matanzas Papers to the 25th ult., from which we copy some ship ping intelligence. We learn from a gentleman who came passenger in the schooner, that the crew, about 40 in number, of the Spanish brig Jovena Maria, captured by the Mexican brig Bravo, arrived at Matanzas, on board a prize brig, taken near Key Sal Bank, on the 25th ult. The• brig Jovena Maria, was from Vigo (Spain) and was compelled in a gale of wind, previous to her being taken, to throw her guns overboard. Her cargo is estimated to be worth 60,000 dollars, consisting of specie,wine, oil, &c. The prisoners speak in high terms of the treatment they received from the officers and crew of the Bravo, their baggage, clothes, &c., having been restored them. The exchange at Matanzas on London, 10i- advance. United States, par to 34- discount, the latter of which will materially 'affect operations on sugars, which may have been founded upon the negotiation of exchange. A fire took place in New Orleans, on the 15th tilt, which consumed nearly half the square opposite the Theatre, which was materially damaged before the flames were extinguished. Extract of a Letter from Rio de Janeiro, dated April 7, 1827.—The: trial for the condemnation of the John, and other vessels under similar circumstances, has been going on for some time, without any decision having taken place. It is believed that the whole of the property will be given up. GIBRALTAR, MAY s.—The Lingia from Ventlril, was boarded on the 2d inst. off Malagar, by the Colom brian brig Pinchincha, mounting 20 guns, which men tioned the capture of several Spanish vessels. A brig, supposed to be the Pinchincha was at the back of the rock yesterday. The Ann, Nixon, arrived in the Downs in 37 days from Jamaica; saw on the 25th ult. a ship on shore to the northward of Cat Keys (one of the Bemmini Islands) near the Bahama banks ; her yards and topmasts were down and she was surrounded by wreckers, but from the state of the weather and situation of the wreck they could not ap proach her ; the John Shand, Junes, was in sight at some distance but far to leeward; spoke on the 14th inst. in lat. 44. lon. 41. the Southworth transport from Plymouth to Quebec. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, Twelve o' Nothing of the least importance has taken place in the British Funds ; some reports have been in circulation again of sending further reinforcements to our troops in Portugal, they have not, however, had any material effect on prices. Until the Budget is brought forward it is not expected that any decided activity will take place. Consols opened at 83i t for account, and 83a for money ; they have sub sequently been done at 83i a for account, and are now 83 . The abundance of unemployed capital is again shewn by the continued advance of Exchequer Bills and India Bonds, the former being 52 3, and the latter 81 3 pm. His Majesty's ship Cambridge arrived at Portsmouth from Lima, and last from Rio de Janeiro ; she brings scarcely any later accounts than those we received by the packet, having sailed on the 9th April ; she has 781,000 dollars on merchants' account on board ; indeed the few letters we have seen are only to the Bth ult., several of them mention their being aware of the disastrous intelligence from Rio Grande, but seem to avoid giving particulars ; the Ex change is given at 35d. per Milrea, which is rather lower than the packet brought, being 351. Shares attract not the slightest attention; what appears extraordinary is the success which has in some degree attended the exertions of individual energies in one of the Mining districts, whilst those solely in the hands of the Companies are at ruinous discounts ; there must be some want of economy in the management, or the parties sent out must be wanting in skill and the knowledge necessary to work those specula tions with effect. _ _ Three per Cent.

This Appeal, which was in part heard on Wednesday last, came on to-day for further argument, before the Master of the Rolls, the Marquis of Lansdown, Viscount Sidmouth, and Lord Selsie. The facts of the case are shortly these : —Struthers having purchased certain property from an individual who after wards became a bankrupt, employed Laing, who is a conveyancer, to draw up the necessary securities.— This Laing undertook to do, but in consequence of his having neglected to procure the confirmation of the Supe rior (the Lord of -the Fee), the creditors of the bankrupt obtained a preference over the security of Struthers, who thereby lost the money which he had , paid for the pur chase. Struthers, upon this, brought an action against Laing, fur the recovery of the moneyso lost, on the grounds that as Laing had neglected to make up the titles suffici ently, he had rendered himself responsible to his client. The case was tried before the Court of Session in Scot land, and a verdict returned for Struthers; and from that decision the present appeal was lodged. .. COURT OF CHANCERY. GROVES V. NEWGILL. Mr. SuanEN moved that this cause, which stood for hearing before the Vice Chancellor, might be ordered to be transferred to the paper of the Master of the Rolls. His client had, some time ago, obtained the opinion of the present Vice Chancellor, and he objected to his cause being heard before a Judge who had, in his character of counsel, given a decided opinion against him. Mr. BARBER objected to this. If the cause were to be transferred to the Master of the Rolls, the consequence would be, that it would be placed at -the bottom of his paper, though it now stood nearly at the top of the paper in which it was. His LORDSHIP considered it most reasonable that the suitor should have his cause heard before a Judge who had given no opinion respecting it; therefore Mr. Sugden might apply to Sir John Leach, to know if he could, con sistently with his paper, appoint it to be heard on an early day, if not-he (the Lord Chancellor) would hear it himself. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. MARSACK V. BAILIE AND ANOTHER. In this case an injunction had been granted to restrain the defendants, who are builders in the neighbourhood of Manchester-square, from proceeding in an action at law against the plaintiff, for the recovery of a bond for the sum of 2,6001., on the ground that the bond had originated in a fraudulent and usurious transaction. The plaintiff's bill also prayed, that the bond might be delivered up to be cancelled, on the plaintiff's undertaking to pay the . sum actually due on it. It appeared, the plaintiff, who is the eldest son of the late Charles Marsack, Esq. of Devonshire Part, in the County of Oxford, being in very embarrassed circumstances, was induced by Mr. Wilson, a banker, in consideration of receiving the sum of 3000/. to give Wilson three separate bonds for 50001. each, payable at the expiration of six months after the death of the plaintiff's father. Of the 30001. which were to form the consideration for, the , three post obit bonds, the plaintiff actually received f but 1,700/. In August 1819, the defendants, who are builders, residing in the neighbourhood of Manchester-square, and who had been employed by Wilson in erecting a house for him in Hertfordshire, were proceeding in an action at law against -him for the recovery of certain bills which he had given to the defendants on account of the build ing-work so done. It was then arranged between all the parties that Mr. Wilson should cancel one of the bonds for five thousand pounds, and that the plaintiff should pass a bond for 2,600/. to the defendants, that being the amount of Wilson's debt to them, and that he aliould also pass a bond for the remaining 2,400/. to Wilson himself. 'These bonds were made payable in the same manner as the original ones, none of which contained any contingency as to survivorship, but were to be binding on the plaintiff's executors, administrators, or assigns, even in the event of his dying before his father. The elder Mr. Marsack died ill November 1819; Wilson having become a bankrupt, his assignees brought an action for one of the ori ginal bonds in the Court of King's Bench. It was therefore referred to the Master to say what part of the 1,7001. advanced to the plaintiff was attributable to that particular bond. The Master found that the Assig nees were entitled only to 7421. for principal and inter est; that sum was accordingly paid, and the bond was cancelled.—The other bond for 5,000/. was assigned by Wilson before his bankruptcy, and still remains outstand ing. The defendants, in their answer, deny any knowledge of the manner in which the bonds for 5,000/. had been obtained, and insist on their right to recover, on the grounds that the bond for 2,6001. passed to them had been given for a valuable consideration. The plaintiff on-the other hand submitted, that the defendants must have been in full possession of all the circumstances connected with the original proceedings, inasmuch as he Mr. Manning, who had acted as solicitor for Wilson, in the first instance, and was therefore necessarily privy to the original fraud, was also engaged to prepare the defendants' bond, and was in constant communication with them during the treaty which preceded that transaction. Mr. - SUGDEN and Mr. CHYNG were heard against dis solving the injunction. Mr. HEALD addressed the Court for the defendants, and Mr. PErYs and Mr. Mooan are to follow on the came side. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. This being the last day of term, the Court was occupied during the early part of the morning lit hearing motions of no public interest. ABSENCE OF COUNSEL. Several gentlemen of the bar had motions which were postponed in consequence of the absence of Mr. Campbell, who was engaged in those causes. The CmEr JUSTICE said, if gentlemen of the bar did not attend in their places, he could not help it. If there was no business he would go away. GARNETT V. FARRAND. The Court then proceeded to give judgment in the above case, which was an action brought to try the right of report ing proceedings at a Coroner'slnquest. The facts of the case were, that the plaintiff who is connected with the Man chester Guardian, attended a Coroner's inquest at Oldham, for the purpose of reporting the proceedings, and was forcibly ejected from the room by the Coroner, upon which he brought his action of trespass, under the impression that the Coroner's Court was an open Court. The Loan Cum. JUSTICE, in pronouncing the judgment of the Court observed, that the Coroner's Court was a Court of Record, and that he and his Learned Brothers were unani mously of opinion, that no action could lie against a Judge of a Court of Record, for any act committed in the exercise of his judicial functions. This freedom from action was given to Judges, not so much for their own sakes, as for the sake of the public, that their thoughts being free, their judgments might be independent. In particular cases, too, it was certainly desirable that the proceedings at a Coroner's Inquest should not he made public. It was a preparatory proceeding, and its publication in some instances might de feat the ends ofjustice, by informing the accused party of the nature of the eyidence against him, and thus giving him an opportunity to escape, or to suborn witnesses. In other instances, the publication of a part of the proceedings might be improper, as an offence against public decency. Ia fact, the Court could contemplate a variety of instances in which the publication of the proceedings at a Coro- Inquest might do injury and could do no good. .Then - • who e h e the power of deciding when those instances occurred,Circumstances,and the Co roner a l one ? Uncler o ulbu all the eircu s t anc ee, the Court WB, decidedly of opinion it v he CoroiZ• FROM AUGSBURG, MAY 18.—They write that accounts from Vienna state, that that Cabinet has renounced its antient politics, in maintaining the cause of the Grand Seignor ; and all its efforts are now directed to pre vent a war between the Russians and the Porte : but the Emperor Nicholas is firmly determined to take energetic and decisive measures,' and accordingly lie has sent a circular to all the Cabinets in Europe; this do cument is said to contain an expose of the motives which temporized Russia for so long a time, to bring the affairs of the Porte to a crisis ; it also states that the Emperor Nicholas invites all his Allies to join their efforts with his to re-establish peace in the East, but the interest of Russia is more immediately compromised by the anarchy which has desolated that country for these six years, and if his efforts should not be adhered to by the middle of June, the army of Bessarabia will pass the Pruth to occupy provisionally Moldavia and Wallachia. DUBLIN INDEPENDENT CLUB.—A meeting was held on Thursday, at Hayes's Tavern, Dawson -street, for the purpose of forming a Club to secure the independence of the County and City of Dublin. The meeting was attended by several gentlemen of property and influence.— Dub/hi Morning Register. MR.

As the pro moters of this very excellent institution are gen tlemen of the first respectability, we pre sage that its formation is certain, and that its effects will be a source of infinite benefit to the working classes.— Cambrian. A correspondent informs us, that three persons who had been induced to recant from the Ro man Catholic faith, came forward in the chapel of Cavan, on Sunday last, made public declara tions of the means used to subvert them, and prayed to be re-admitted into that church, to which, they stated, they had given so much scandal.—Freenzan's Journal. Fo RF A R.—. Margaret Wishart, who lies in our gaol und er sentence pf d ea th, h as o f l ate exhibited strong symptoms of mental derange ment. Different petitions have been forwarded to the prop er Royal quarter recommending her to the mercy, on the ground of her being con victed upon slender evidence. A final answer was received on Tuesday, refusing to 'grant the prayer of these petitions.—Edinburgh Evening Courant. THE CONDEMNED SERMON. -- .EXECUTION TO - MORROW.—Yesterday, the condemned ser mon, as it is called, was preached in the Chapel of Newgate, by the Rev. Ordinary, Mr. Cotton, to the four unhappy men who are to expiate their crimes at the debtors door, to-morrow. The prisoners were all present. Sheen, the murderer, and Stanley de Courcy Ireland, were also present during the service. The former sat apart in a corner by himself, and paid the most marked attention to the exhortations of the Or dinary at times his lips moved as if engaged in mental prayer, but the same placidness of de meanour which he evinced from his apprehension was not even for a moment disturbed.

Up to a late hour this morning nothing of novelty has occurred at the works. We mentioned on Saturday that it was intended to sink a flooring on the spot where the aperture was ; this flooring, which resembles a large raft, is nearly completed, and will be sunk in the course of to. morrow. Immediately it has been secured, Mr. Brunell intends to set the steam-engine at full work in pumping out the water in the Tunnel, and then it will be known whe ther his exertions to remedy the evil have or have not been successful. Yesterday great numbers of persons visited Rotherhithe, for the purpose of getting a sight of the works. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL MARKETS. At per stone, by the Carcass.

Last week there were tolerable good arrivals of Wheat and Flour, but of English Barley, Oats, Beans, and Pease, the quan tities were small. Of Foreign Oats there was another considera ble supply. To this morning's market the fresh arrivals from Es sex, Kent, and Suffolk, of all descriptions of Grain are small. There were so few superfine samples of Wheat at market to-day, that such obtained last week's quotations, and all other sorts met a very heavy sale. The present prices of Barley may be consi dered nearly nominal, as scarcely a sample is to be seen. Beans and Pease remain unaltered, with little doing in each. The quantity of Feed Oats for sale is so large, that they may be re ported very dull, at a further decline of Is. per quarter, but stout Oats are not plentiful, and they nearly maintain last quo tations. :There is a fair sale for Flour, but no alteration in prices.

FISH-MARKET, BILLINGSGATE. The arrivals of fish, this morning, have been chiefly of the finer kinds, and the market exhibited a good stock ol Salmon, Turbot, Brill, and Whitings. Mackerel were ex ceedingly plentiful, but continued high, and it was evident that lower prices must be submitted to, before any respect able sales could be effected.

Colonel Burrell presided at the supper tables, and was ably supported by Captain Slade, and the rest of hie brother Officers.

T o m Dibdin, in his entertaining Reminis cences, relates an anecdote which, from the source whence it is derived, is evidently authen. tic, of the avarice which governed the private character of Henderson, quite at variance with the received opinion entertained to the represen tative of Falstaff, Macbeth, and John Gilr,i n . Henderson called one day on his excellent friend, the- well-k nown D r . F ryer , tq present him, as a compliment, with tickets fo b hi s b ene fi t.
