The Spring Guns Bill went through the Corn ' rnittee in the House of Lords last night, and there is now every probability of its becoming part of the law of the land. An amendment was proposed, but negatived after a division of 21 to 15, the effect of which would, in fact, have been to render the provisions of the Bill completely nu gatory. To those who will read Lord SUF lrizim's speech, in which he described the ingeni ous devices made by landowners to protect their pheasants at the risk of destroying poachers, and Pf the poachers to defeat the intentions of the Lords of the soil, it will be evident that a general pro hibition of the use of all destructive engines in Woods has become absolutely necessary. It is not by such means that the evil inclina tions of men can be restrained, and the adoption of them does infinite injury both in demoralizing the principles of the lower orders, and making them callous to all the finer feelings of our nature. Brussels Papers to the sth instant have been received this morning, from which we make the following extracts : BRUSSELS, MARCH SO. The Chamb er o f , C ommerce at Antwerp informs the public, that it has received official notice, by a Ministerial communication of the List of this month, for the encou ragement of navigation and commerce in the Black Sea, that the passage through the Dardanelles is open to the flag of the Netherlands, without any restriction or condi ittion whatever, so that our ships may with entire cone e'lee take c argoes f rom Odessa, where M.

A dreadful fire had oc curred at Norfolk (Virginia) on the Bth, by which 60 houses and other buildings were con sumed. The amount of/the loss was estimated at 60,000 dollars. Several other fires had taken place in the Union, in which much property had been destroyed, and many lives lost. Several manufacturers wero among the number. We subjoin the following extracts : " Mitxrco.—New Orleans Papers of the IStli February contain ad►ices from Mexico to the 2d. The last accounts received at Vera Cruz from the capital, mention that the trial of Padre Arenas, the Priest, whose arrest for con spiring to effect a revolution in the Republic has already been announced, was going on ; but he would make no con fessions. Among other measures of precaution, it had been proposed to expel all the Priests from Mexico, excepting a few who had taken a decided part in the revolution. This latter hint is said to have caused a newspaper war among the Editors at Mexico. "In Vera Cruz there were many strangers, and trade was brisk. " The Guerrero brig of war was Stting out to join Commodore Porter." (From the New York Enquirer.) FLORIDA Svc/x.--The East Florida Herald, of Feb. 21, says, that 61. Durnmett, a planter of that coun try, will make 30 hogsheads of sugar from about 35 acres of cane. A - specimen of the sugar raised on his plantation has been sent to St. Augustine, and pronounced superior to the best Havannah sugar. TILE GREEKS.-.—IC will be seen that several senators have recorded their protest against the bill granting relief to the Greeks. The friends of heroic and suffering Greece will be grati fied to learn that the Greek Fund in Philadelphia exceeds 15,000 dollars. In the four last days of the past week the receipts were no less than 1,927 dollars. A Kentuckian, passenger in the western stage, which arrived at Baltimore on Saturday last, counted 235 wag gons between Fredericktown and Ellicott's Mills (35 miles.) The population of Upper Canada, according to the cen sus lately taken, is only one hundred and sixty-fou r thou sand, which does not equal the population of the city of New York by several thousands. It has, however, rapidly populated of late years. Few( Nzw ORLI.A.NS.—By the Louisiana, arrived yesterday, we have New Orleans papers to the 22d ult. We learn (says the New Orleans Advertiser) that the disturbance. with the Indians on the frontier of Georgia are entirely suppressed. We learn further, that the party who were hostile and who committed the murders which occasioned the march of the Militia into the Indian coun try, consisted of only nine warriors, and that their conduet was disproved of by the nation. Five of the murderers have been executed, and it is expected that the rest will be caught and delivered up by Indians who are in pur suit of them. TExAa.—We learn from two gentlemen who recently left Texas, that the revolution in that country, which has excited some notice here, is there regarded as a very trivial affair. Edwards, who is at the head of it, has but about fifteen followers. The residue of the settlers are either op posed to him or neutral. No serious consequences, except to the small number of individuals concerned, were ex pected to result from it.—Baltimore Gazette. FROM MA DA GASCA R.—Captain Brsokhouse, of the brig Nereus, arrived at Salem, informs us that the war at Ma dagascar still continued with various success, and would probably shortly rage with greater fury than ever,. as Ra dama had marched an army of 15,000 men against King Dandi, one of the most powerful Kings in the Island, with orders to exterminate the whole race, if possible; and, in case that army should not be sufficient, he had another form ing of 30,000. Radama has nearly the whole Island under tribute; but the people are often revolting, and thus cause gieat trouble and difficulty to those visiting them for trade. EXCHANGE.

In a letter from Buenos Ayres, of the 2d of December, it is stated that 4,000 troops are to be kept to carry on the siege of Monte Video, under General Mancilla, whilst the main army proceeds to Rio Grande. The Government is very close and secret in all its operations, but there is reason to believe that Garcia, who left here for Rio, will use all exertions to bring about an adjustment. It is reported at Paris that Count d'Offalia's journey has caused many conjectures; first, a formal demand by Fer dinand for the evacuation of Spain by the French troops ; secondly, the evacuation of Portugal by the British. There are great movements amongst the different Ambassadors. MEmEL, Ittaacm 25.—Yesterday afternoon, when the Brothers, Capt. W. Richardson, of Scarborough, came to the bar, a sharp shower of snow came on, that they could not see the beacons. The pilot wanted to go to sea again, but the high swell and strong current forced the vessel on the New Ground. Last night, it has blown ♦ery hard, with a high sea, it is therefore feared that the Brothers will be completely wrecked. The crew are all saved. A small brig, name unknown, is at anchor close to the bar, owing to the high sea. She is in great danger, the pilots have made two unsuccessful attempts to board her. The stoppage of the ice gave way on the night of the 20th, without doing any material damage, and if the present stormy weather continues a few days longer, the ships will be able to lay out in the stream to load without further danger. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY' CITY, Twelve o' Clock. A statement of the Revenue for the last Quarter having appeared in two of the morning papers, some curiosity was excited in the City to ascertain the effect of the deficiency therein stated on the public mind, in comparison with that of the corresponding quarter of last year. In the British Funds, Consols opened at 82i, buyers, and became sellers ; they were afterwards 82i One sale of 150,0001., said to be for account of one of the Scotch Banks, made very little impression on the market, and Consols remain firm at the above rate ; in the public mind, however, there appears an evident i ndisposition to invest money in Consols at the present price, and in the present situation of the country ; he consequence is, that India Bonds and Exchequer Bills still continue to advance, the former being 67 8, and the latter, 47 8 pm. The Foreign Funds, particularly Mexi can Bonds, have been more active, having advanced to 714, and looking extremely firm ; Col om bi an are 414 1. Some Spanish o reports have been in circulati on relative to S • 13 nds and an expectation has been held out that something was in agitation which would cause them to improve ; from all the inquiries we have been able to make we fear it may be said to be rather in the wishes of the speculators holding these Bonds, than any real expectation emanating from the Spanish Government beneficial to this miserable security, if it deserves the name of security at all; they are now 121 13.

The Galway Election Committee, adjourned teruesday next. It has been decided that Mr. Lambert hat the majority of legal rotes. The' Marquisees of Clanricarde and Sligo, Lord Mounteagle, and some other Peers, are to be examined on behalf of Mr. Martin, with a view to prove gulch uncon stitutional conduct on the part of Mr. Lambert, as should disqualify him for a seat in the House. If he succeeds in this, there will be a new election, otherwise Mr. Lambert will be the sitting Member. THE EAST RETFORD ELECTION. The petitioner in this case is Sir Henry Wilson, the un successful candidate. The grounds of the petition are cor ruption and , mal-p rac ti ce on behalf of the Sitti ng Mem bers, (Si r R o b er t D un d ee an d Mr. Wrightson) ; a s i ngu l ar circumstance, which excited no inconsiderable share of laughter, occurred before the Committee. A Banker in Retford, who paid bills to a considerable amount, for ex pence. incurred on behalf of the Sitting Members during the election, was brought up to prove, that the bills were not paid, at the instance nor on account of the sitting Members. On producing his books to show that the bills were not charged to the Members, the first item that presented itself was the receipt of 12001. from the vene rable Earl Fitswilliam towards the expences of the elec tion, thereby establishing the unconstitutional interference of a Peer of the realm--a fact which should operate more powerfully to invalidate the election than if even the Mem bers themselves bad paid the bills. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY. HOUSE OF LORDS.—APPEALS. VERNON V. THE EARL OF EGMONT. This was an appeal from a decree pronounced by the late Master of the Rolls, under the following circumstanc es The respondent filed a bill against the appellant, praying for an account of the residue of the personal estate of th e late Earl of Egmont, which was left to him by the will of the testator, who appointed the appellant his executor. The appellant put in an answer, stating an assignment by the respondent of , the residue of the testator's estate, and also that the testator being tenant for life, of large estates, with remainder to the respondent iti tail,' had exe cuted leases not in conformity with his power, which the respondent might avoid, and that the lessees upon eviction might have claims on the personal estate of the testator. It was consequently contended, that before the residue of the estate should be paid to the respondent, be should either confirm the leases alluded to, or give a satisfactory indem nity to the appellant against any claims which might be made against him, as the representative of the testator, in respect of the said leases. The cause having been heard before the Master of the Rolls, His Houma decreed that the Islister should carry on the amount of the residue of the testator's estate and pay to the respondent what was due to him, without making any provision for the protection of the appellant against the claims of the lessees. From this part of the decree an ap peal was brought to the House of Lords. Counsel having been heard on both sides, The LORD CHANCELLOR observed this day, that it would require a great deal of consideration before their Lordships should say whether or not, in all cases of execu tory devices the devisee should ' give security to the executor against claims on the personal estate, But on viewing all the circumstances attending this parti cular case, and regard being had to the nature of the estate, which the respondent took, his , Lordship did not see why be should not confirm the leases as required, be fore the appellant should be compelled to pay over the re sidue of the personal ,estate of the testator, otherwise it would be exposing the appellant to the claims of, perhaps, a thousand persons, (if leases had been granted to so many) without any indemnifying security. This was the view which his Lordship took of the case, and unless he should alter it before Tuesday next, he would then move that the decree of the Master of the Rolls should be reversed. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. The'Colut was occupied this morning in hearing bank. rupt petitions, none of which possessed any features. of general interest. OLD BAILEY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY, EXCUSE OF A JURYMAN. On the calling over of the panel of persons summoned as jurymen, a portly, good-looking, upright man, at least six feet in height, appeared in the full military costume of a sergeant. On his name being called, he mounted the wit ness box, and stood as erect, and equally in order, as though the word " attention had been given, " thumbs down" and all. Mr. Sergeant AR ABIN.—Well, Sir, what hare you to say ? Soldier.-=-My Lord, I belong to the Second " Loyal London," and am liable to be called upon duty, and there fore I wish to be excused. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN.-You are not on duty now, Sir. Soldier.—No, my Lord, but I may be called upon. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN.-But why, Sir, do you now appear with your sash, and your side-arms (sword), as though you were upon duty? Soldier.-.—l may be called upon, my Lord. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN.-Ay, ay, ap may we all. I think we can't excuse you ; but, probably, you will do ns the favour of putting on the costume of the citizen, and for a short time forget the soldier; if not, your brother jurymen may be somewhat in fear of you. The Court was convulsed with laughter during the tirae " the soldier" was answering the questions of the Learned Sergeant. At last he took a seat with some of his neigh bours, who evidently enjoyed the defeat of this artifice of a Boniface, for such we understood the gallant sergeant to he. (Before Mr. Sergeant AganDr.) BURGLARY. John Gardener, aged twenty, was indicted for burgla riously breaking into the dwelling-house of Henry Blay, and stealing from it four watches, value 201., on the 6th of February last. Blay stated that he is a watch-maker, and lives at No. 6, Church-street, Westminster. He was sitting in a parlour inside his shop about six o'clock on the evening in question, when he heard a noise as if a pane of glass had been broken, and looking out, observed a man's hand through the shop window, in the act of taking away watches. Prosecutor im mediately ran out and took the prisoner into custody, and upon searching him, found two of the watches in his breeches pocket. The other two watches which he had taken from the window, he let fall, and they were picked up by a pas senger in the street. _ The prisoner wept bitterly, but offered nothing material in his defence. Verdict—. Guilty—Death. (Before Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT.) FORGERY. John Hughes, aged 25, was capitally indicted for felo niously forging and uttering a fraudulent receipt for the sum of 11 s. 6d„ with intent to defraud Harrison Arrow smith, his employer. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Arrowsmith that he is a wine -merchant, residing in Adam -street, Adelphi, where he has chambers, the house being divided into several sets. Witness knows Henry William Pullen, who he understood to be a clerk in the chambers situated above his own; which are occupied by a Mr. Price, an attorney. The prisoner at the bar was a porter in the service of witness. He was in his employ mentfrom November t o F e br u ary l as t, a n d was authorised to pay various sums of money, of which he kept an account in a hook, which was frequently inspected by his em ployers, when the prisoner always produced his vouchers. —On one occasion witness produced a voucher for I Is. 6d., which was marked as paid, and signed by a person named Brosnell, a smith, who was occasion ally employed by Mr. Arrowsmith. Upon inquiry it % y e s discovered that the account produced had not been made out or paid to Brosnell, but that it was drawn up by a youth earned Pullen, who was employed in the upper chambers, at the request and by the express desire of the prisoner. The Loan Guar JUSTICE said, that in his opinion the forgery of the bill by the boy, under the direction of the prisoner, made the offence precis e l y t h e same as if he had forged it himself. This point , however, was qu it e imma terial in the present case , as the fact o f u tt er i ng th e forg e d hill was proved beyond all q uest i on.

A PRISONER ACQUITTED litY Barra; FOUND Too GUILTY.—John Dory and Henry Fielder were indicted, the first for stealing, and the other for receiving, three bushels of grains value Is., at Hounslow, on the 14th of March last, the property of Mr. Simeon Howard, of Rick mansworth. The indictment charged the offence in one count against Fielder, as a principal. Mr. PHILLIPS and Mr. BARRY conducted the prosecu tion, and selected the count charging Fielder as the receiver. Mr. ADOLPHUS was retained for Fielder, and Mr. QUIN for Dory. The latter prisoner was a carter to the prose cutor, and Fielder, a higler, on Hounslow Heath. The carter had sold the grains to Fielder, on the road from Twickenham to the prosecutor's house ; and another car ter, named Edward Groves, an accomplice in the theft, was admitted as evidence to convict the others. This witness how ever, after procuring a promise of release, if he gave evidence against them when in the witness box, would hardly say any thing against either of them. Other evidence, how ever, was brought forward, which so completely proved the theft, that the Recorder expressed his opi n i on t h at yh as a principal ; and as th e C ounsel for had confined themselves t o th e count tFhieeld prosecutione r was guilt charging him as a receiver, he must be acquitted. The Jury, therefore, found Dory Guilty, and Fielder Not Guilty of receiving. The COU RT then sentenced Dory to seven days impri• eonnient in Newgate.—This case lasted three hours. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Am er i ca ; 74, has been taken into dock, for the purpose .of being cut crown to a double-banked frigate.— Plymouth Journal. MUSICAL LITERATURE. Our attention has been attracted by a recently published and very useful work, from the pen of Mr. Logier, the ce lebrated Musical Professor, who, after a temporary resi dence at Berlin, where, as we understand, he was invited by the Government, for the purpose of disseminating through Prussia his effective mode of instruction, has re sumed his practice in London. The extent and perspicuity Of his well-digested " System of the Science of Music," presents so full and luminous an exposition of his principles, that it cannot, we think, fail to promote its important ob ject. The graduated process through which this publica tion leads the student, is calculated to ensure a rapid acqui sition of theoretical knowledge; and, by rendering easily attainable that which, by the common mode of tuition, has always been found abstruse and difficult, will have the bene ficial effect both of encouraging and informing musical in quirers, and will be found well wor th y t h e perusa l , not only of amateurs, but of professed teachers.

The contract in the first instance, is to be only for one year; at the expi ration of which time, it is understood, that the Hereford mail will run throughout to London, and convey the Chel tenham bags ; and that the Gloucester mail will take an entirely new route through Cirencester and the, clothing districts of Gloucestershire.— Worcester Journal. We learn, with great pleasure, that, in con sequence of the distress and scarcity of employment, the Corporation intend to set about Macadamising the principal streets of this city (Kilkenny) forthwith, for the purpose of giving employment to poor labourers.—The measure was begun by Joseph Greene, Esq., who, when Mayor, successfully Macadamised John-street ; and we trust it will be perfected, on that line, by Joseph 13radish, Esq. as far as Patrick's-gate. The work will combine utility with charity, as it will be the means of saving many-poor fami lies from the pangs and the consequences of want, as well as of conferring a lasting and valuable improvement on the citv.—Leinster Journal. THE FORCE OF HABIT.—A most remark able instance of human depravity was exhibited in York, on Saturday last. Two women of the names of Muller and Heughs, who had been charged with pocket-picking at Mahon, and had on the same day been liberated from the Castle for want of sufficient evidence, walked deliberately from their prison to several linen-drapers' shops in York, and stole goods from each. They were, however, soon ap prehended, by Mr. Pardoe, and, the .goods having been lodged, all withi n one h our o f t h e i r d i scharge found upon them, were com m itt e d to t h e c i ty j ail, and there safely from the county prison.—Leeda Intellipencer. A TIGER HUNT IN SHERWOOD FO REST.—One of the assistants of Mr. Wombwell, whose collection of wild beasts attended Stamford Fair last week, from a caravan b etween Nottingham and called upon us on Friday to stat e th a t th e sma ll ti ger sa i d to have escaped Worksop did not belong to his employer, for that Mr. Wombwell's collection had not been in Nottinghamshir e for two years. We are not otherwise acquainted with the fact, but think it just to notice the communication so made to us. --A correspondent at Grantham says, " The circum stance of a tiger's being at large in Nottinghamshire is much talked of here, and it is reported that the Noblemen in the vicinity of the Forest are preparing to hunt him down.—Lincoln Mercury. t RIOTS OF THE STUFF-WEAVERS.--011 the evening of yesterday week, several of these unhappy men, worn out by privation and hunger, accepted work at the re d uce d prices. This coming to the ears of the Commit tee, two of them proceeded to the houses of the parties to satisfy themselves of the fact ; and after making inquiry on the subject, went away. Shortly after a meeting was called of the " turn-outs," to take place on the Tab llill ; speedily assem bl e d i n cons id era b le num b ers. Afterwards great number of them pro cee d e d in succes sioneerr ws t r h d e s y a to the house s of those who had " gone in" at the under wages, , Where tney committed acts of the greatest violence. For these outrages a number of them were brought before the Mayor, and during the week, Patrick Lynch, H e nry Lane, William Murphy, John Kilmarton, Patrick U ° I IY, John Ambrose, and Alexan d er B urn , h ave been admitt ed to bail, to appear at t h e S ess i ons , to answer to the char ge. Several mem b ers o f th e C omm itt ee were also brought up on Thursday, but as no e vid ence was offered against them, they were, at that time, discharged. On Tuesday an ineffectual attempt w a s made to ad just the existing diff erences by• som e of the peaceably disposed ope ratives ; and a meeting cons i s ting of several of the pr i n.. cipal man ufacturers, and a deputation from the men, took many othe rs of the wor k men o btained admitta nce , and no consequence. During the discussion, however, cPolan.eclusinion was come to. The number of workmen out of employ, on account of " the strike, amount, we believe, to several hundreds ; and we are informed, that even if the wages were to be acceded to, man y of that nu m b er , who are n ot natives o f t h e town, would nut b e able to ob tain employment. Nothing , how ever, can ex cee d t h e miserable appearance of the men , who seem t o b e suffer notwithstanding their ref usa l to go in at the reduction. At .

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY, GUILDHALL. OBSTRUCTIONBY CARTS IN NEwcant-STREET.—A per son named Chapman appeared before Sir J. PERRINO upon a summons, to answer a charge made by Mr. Stephens, who keeps the Magpie an d . Stump public-house in Newgate-street, of having placed his errand cart opposite the complainant's door, and allowing it to remain there for upwards of 20 minutes, without either loading or unloading it, whereby the thoroughfare was considerably impeded and obstructed. The complainant was in the habit of having parcels booked at his house to go by a Knightsbridge carrier, and Chap man, who was an opposition carrier, had been, with others, in the habit of placing his cart for an unlimited time op posite the Magpie and Stump, for the purpose of getting parcels to carry that were intended to go by some other carrier. Sir JOHN PERRINO thanked Mr. Stephens for bringing forward the vbarge. He said, the Magistrates were every day receiving complaints of obstruction in the streets, and particularly in Newgate-street ; and, therefore, they had made up their minds, that every individual brought before them in future, proved to have been guilty of the offence, should be visited with the utmost severity of the law.— Chapman was fined 20s. and costs. FLAGRANT ASSA ULT.-Dr. Steward and a Mr. Howard appeared on a summons taken out against them, and a Mr. Bloxham, by a gentleman, named Perring, the son of a solicitor in the city. Bloxham had not been found, and the two who had appeared by their solicitor, stated that they were perfectly prepared to give unquestionable bail for the assault, which would save the necessity of a discussion of the subject at present, they being determined to have the affair discussed hereafter in a court of j ustice. Mr. PYRRING, senior, who attended 'on behalf of his son, felt most anxious to have the affair gone into to-day, but the other side prevented the necessity of that by their tender of bail. We understand the complainant had been enticed by some of the parties complained of to accompany them into a public house where the others were, and who all immediately be gan a most unmerciful battery, with whips and sticks, on the shoulders of Mr. Perrin. Bail was given by the parties themselves in 401. ' each, and two sureties in 201. each. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY. CORN-EXCHANGE.

A Mr. Hackett, from the New York theatre, made his first appearance here last night in the character of Silvester Daggcrwood ; on which occasion he gave sketches of 'American character, more particularly ofa back-woods-man, which however dose as imitations, yet were received with palpable indifference. But the manner in which he gave Kean, in his opening soliloquy in Richard the Third, made tip for his other deficiencies ; it was, indeed, the closest imitation we have ever witnessed of that celebrated trage dian, and the audience, by their loud and enthusiastic ap plause, were manifestly of the same opinion. We think Mr. Hacket will be an acquisition to the theatre, at least in low comedy. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—Anu t 5. From the unusually dull state of the betting in the first part of the afternoon yesterday, we had anticipated that it would not have afforded anything deserving of notice; a sudden turn, however, between four and five o'clock, made the day's betting singularly important. The Oaks and Riddlesworth were then in great request, and some great alterations were the consequence. Maria and Pantina continued to recede, 11 to 1 being the last odds we heard taken about each of them ; various causes may be assigned for Maria's going back, the most feasible of which, we think, is that she has been beat in a trial. It is very pro • bable that she will recover her prominent station before long. Lord Orford's Shoveller filly jumped up from the very outside, both for the Riddlesworth and Oaks, 9 to 2, and 16 to 1 being the odds ; she is represented as a fine promising filly, and likely to try the mettle of the Riddles worth horses ; her sudden rise was the occasion of Pro testant, who belongs to the same Noble Lord, making a si milar move in the Derby. He was in a very short time dragged from obscurity, and placed in a conspicuous place, 20 to 1 being the last offers. Very little was done in the St. Leger generally, but one gentleman took 17 to 1 against Olivera and Nivalis, separately, several times over. The latest odds were as follow RIDDLESWORTH. 2 to 1 agst Glenartney 7 to I agst Mameluke 4 to 1 agst Cressida 12 to 1 agst Roderick 41 to 1 agst Shoveller 20 to 1 agst Christmas 20 to 1 agst onna Clara.

WINDSOR, APRIL .s. —His MAJESTY left the Royal Lodge, yesterday afternoon, at half past two o'clock, in his pony phaeton, accom panied by► his Suite, and drove to Virginia Water. The KING alighted upon his arrival at the Lake, and visited the Fishing Temple, which is to undergo some alterations during his MA- I JESTY'S absence, and to be in readiness for his enjoyment of aquatic excursions upon his,return to the Royal Lodge. His MAJESTY afterwards drove to the new bridge which crosses the Lake near Blackness, and returned by Cumberland Lodge, after an airing of three hours. The KING will take an airing this day, dine early, and afterwards leave for London. ARRIVAL OF HIS MAJESTY IN TOWN.- Last night, at a few minutes past ten o'clock, the KING ar rived at his Palace in St. James's, in his travelling chariot and four, with outriders, from his Royal Lodge in Windsor Park. The Duchess of Gloucester and the Princess Sophia visited the Princess Augusta yesterday. Their Royal Highnesses afterwards took an airing. A Cabinet Council - was held yesterday after noon at three o'clock, at the Foreign Office, which was at tended by the Duke of Wellington, the Earls of Harrowby, Westmorland, and Bathurst, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mir. Secretary Canning, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Vis count Melville, Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Wynn, and Lord Bex ley. The Ministers continued iu deliberation for an hour and a half. Baron Sterniold, the Swedish Minister, trans actecrofficial business with Mr. Secretary Canning yesterday. Viscount Granville transacted business at the Foreign Office yesterday. The Earl of Liverpool was stated yuterday, by Dr. Dreyer, to be going on very 'well. Prince Lieven gave another grand entertain ment on Wednesday, at Ashburnham House, Dover- street, to a distinguished party. Among whom were the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Lansdown, the Earl and Countess of Carlisle, the Earl and Countess of Jersey, Lord and Lady Gwydyr, Count and Countess of Woronzow, Marquis of Paknells, Lord Auckland, Sir Charles and Lady Eliz. Stewart, Mr. Lamb, &c. The Duke of Buckingham entertained a dis tinguished party to dinner on Wednesday, at his house in Pall-mall. The Marquis of Hertford had a grand assembly on Wednesday evening, at his house in Piccadilly, which was attended by all the leading and distinguished fashion ables in town. Earl and Countess Grey, together with their youngest daughter and son, came to town last night, from their seat, Howick Castle, to their residence in Portman square. Lord Falmouth, Lady Trigge, Admiral Fel lowes, and H. Peters, Esq. had dinner parties yesterday. Sir Mathew Tierney is reported to have given it as his opinion that Mr. Canning's complaints are merely muscular, and that the main sourcea of life and health are in no degree impaired. The Grand Triennial Music Meeting at Wor cester is fixed for the 11th, 12th, and 13th days of Sep tember next.— Worcester Journal. The venerable Earl of Shrewsbury departed this life this morning, after an illness of many years' dura tion. His Lordship was in the 77th year of his age ; anti it is reported that he died possessed of nearly half a million of money, independent of landed and other property. We understand that Signora Toso is shortly to apear in Rossini's celebrated opera of Mahonzet. She will be accompanied by Galli, whose arrival in England is hourly expected. MRS. WA KEIPIELD.-We understand that Mr. Turner has, in a manner and with the forbearance in. the highest degree creditable to his injured feelings, inti mated his intention of not pressing for the judgment of the Court against the female defendant. The verdict alone, to a person of ordinary feelings, is, when contemplated, suf ficiently humiliating, and cannot fail to be a severe punsli ment; to which; as regards Mrs. Wakefield, Mr. Turner, it seems, is unwilling to add incarceration in goal.--Maccles field Courier. HOPEFUL CONTINGENCY.—We hear that a very singular affair is now under legal investigation at Brussels. A man, it is said, declares that he has married and established himself, depending on a fortune to accrue to him from his wife, and which fortune was found after his marriage to consist principally in forged bills of ex change. We understand tbat the office of Lord Mayor's Fool, has been revived, for the express purpose of installing the Reverend Mr. Dillon, in all its emolu ments and respectability. This is a compliment due to, the gifted historian of the " Lord Mayor's Journey to Oxford ;" and goes far to refute the illiberal notion that great men are not rewarded according to their deserts. EXTRAORDINARY FEMALE INTREPIDITY. ___BRussitLe, APRIL have received ttvo letters from Mamur, giving an account of a terrible fire in the house of M. Chenneye. A barrel of gunpowder blowing up, the fire communicated to several casks of brandy.__ Twenty barrels were got out by some courageous men, who in spite of the imminent danger entered the warehouse and rolled the casks into the Meuse, but this act of courage was surpassed by Chenneye's daughter, a young person 20 years of age, who mounted by a ladder into the burning loft, threw three barrels of gunpowder out of the window, into the court yard, and descended unhurt, and had them put into a boat, while her father, ignorant of this heroic action exhorted the people to let every thing be burnt, rather than expose themselves to certain destruction. It was not till she had informed him of what she had done, that the workmen renewed their exertions.

Rewards are also to be give 4 out of this sum, for engravings on copper, gems, medals, remarkable lithographic productions, architectural plans, &c. We have been more than once reluctantly obliged to complain of the uncivil and unbecoming conduct of some of the Messengers employed in the House of Com mons. Upon a recent occasion their misbehaviour re ceived a check which it deserved, and we had hoped that it was effectually stopped for the future. Last evening, however, a Messenger, whose name we understood to be Lead, on clearing the gallery for the division on Sir John Newport's motion, so strangely mistook the authority with which his employment invests him, as to beat and push with great violence the strangers and others who were making all possible haste to quit the gallery. This man carried his insolence so far as to strike several gentlemen, and to thrust diem down the stairs. We are induced to take this n otice of the affair, in order to prevent its recur rence, b eca use we are quite sure that the higher authori ties of the House of Commons, to whom the public and th e press are under many obligations, would neither coun tenaeoe nor tolerate such unnecessary and unprovoked vio lence in their menials.-- Times.
